She’s baaaack.

The Clintons have resurrected from the ashes of the Clinton Foundation their Clinton Global Initiative (CGI).

The Clinton Foundation, you may recall, suffered immeasurably amid a flurry of pay-to-play allegations and Hillary’s second loss in a presidential race.  The latter was most devastating because it meant that there was no play to be had for their donors’ pay.  Donations dried up, and their speaking fees all but vanished.

Nothing a geopolitical crisis and a Clinton-friendly White House can’t fix, though.

The AP reports:

    The Clinton Foundation is planning another Clinton Global Initiative – a high-profile gathering of business, political and philanthropic leaders – this September in New York, according to a letter former President Bill Clinton sent to the foundation’s supporters Friday.

    . . . . Bill Clinton said he wants to bring back the initiative because the kind of “cooperation and coordination” it created is urgently needed. “The COVID-19 pandemic has ripped the cover off of longstanding inequities and vulnerabilities across our global community,” Bill Clinton wrote in the letter Friday. “The existential threat of climate change grows every day. Democracy is under assault around the world, most glaringly in Ukraine where Russia has launched an unjustified and unprovoked invasion that has put millions of lives in grave danger.”

    . . . . Clinton said the meeting, which will coincide with the United Nations General Assembly in September, will likely look different than it has in the past, perhaps in reference to new health and security concerns. However, he hopes the spirit of cooperation it fostered will return.

    “It seems that all across the globe, people are pulling away from those who are different from them—putting our future at greater risk and making it harder to solve the challenges and seize the opportunities in front of us.”

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Well, when you can't splatter paint on canvas and only rely on speaking fees, it must get rough when your relevance diminishes. I wonder if all those Haitians they brought in across the southern border will vote for her?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
