For the Clinton family, the Postcode Lottery is the tap that keeps on running
Clinton getting back into the White House via Postcode Lottery?
Most folks will never win the lottery but keep buying tickets all the same.
Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton, whose international Foundation is kept afloat by it, win the lottery every year.
Lost in the news that the charitable foundation run by Hillary Clinton and her family has received as much as $81 million from wealthy international donors who were clients of HSBC’s controversial Swiss bank (), and thoroughly obfuscated by the current Hillary email scandal, the Clinton Foundation is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Postcode Lottery, 3rd largest charitable organization worldwide. $500,000 a throw sounds like peanuts compared to the $1 million transferred into the New York-based foundation by Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining magnate and one of the foundation’s biggest financial bankers, or donations from the HSBC account of Jeffrey Epstein, the hedge fund manager and convicted sex offender who once flew the former president on his private jet for charity events in Africa.
But unlike Giustra’s and Epstein’s, the $500,000 coming in from Postcode Lottery is not a one-of, it’s a $500,000 cash commitment that has been flowing into the Foundation every year since 2005.
The ties between the Clintons and Postcode Lottery go beyond financial commitment. Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton are listed as Postcode Lottery ambassadors. All three have been keynote speakers at Postcode events.
“The Nationale Postcode Loterij (National Postcode Lottery) is the biggest charity lottery in the Netherlands. It was founded in 1989 by Novamedia, a marketing agency that sets up and runs charity lotteries. Fifty percent of the proceeds of this lottery are donated amongst 81 charities, which, in 2010 amounted to over 270 million euros.” (Wikipedia)
Postcode is owned NovaMedia.On Feb. 10, 2014 lottery owners NovaMedia bought up an IRA gun runner’s publishing company. (Here and Here)
Millions of Postcode lottery prize winners are the lot owners whose postal code, a code that forms part of the winners’ residential address, has been drawn.
And here we are worried that the lion’s share of Hillary Clinton’s business as Obama’s Secretary of State was conducted from private emails from home!
The little known tie-in between the Clintons and the Postcode lottery surfaced when the Swedish Postcode Lottery gave $500,000 to $1 million for the William J. Clinton Foundation.

New Yorker Writer Slams 'Creepy Vibe' at Clinton Foundation Events
By Randy Hall | August 26, 2016 4:15 PM EDT
During this week's episode of Political Gabfest – a “political-commentary podcast” produced by the far-left culture magazine Salon – a pro-Hillary guest surprisingly unleashed a several-minute-long criticism of the Clinton Foundation and its “performance” regarding public charities.
Adam Davidson, a contributing writer at The New Yorker magazine, stated that “there is a real creepy vibe to me” at the Foundation and asserted that the organization is “all about buying access” to Bill and Hillary Clinton by powerful people.
In an article on the Independent Journal Review website written by Kelsey Rupp, Davidson began his part of the discussion by stating: “I’ve spent a decent amount of time at the Clinton Global Initiative,” and “I sort of fell into this thing, which – what I’m about to say means I’m probably going to fall out of this thing.”
He asserted:
"It seems to me that it is all about buying access. It is incredibly expensive just to go to the thing, … and there are sort of these explicit ways in which you get access.
You pay more money to get more access to political leaders and to really rich people and to big corporate leaders."
“There’s this kinda creepy theater that happens where you have the CEO of Coca-Cola or IBM or whatever or GE up there with President Clinton,” Davidson noted, “and they’re just bathing each other in love over how generous and wonderful they are and how much they care about the world and all these earnest people applauding and thrilled.”
The writer, who has “spent a lot of time reporting in Haiti” and “often moderates the organization’s annual Haiti panel and attends its sessions and events,” came down hard on the Foundation's work in that country.
“I have seen their work in Haiti up close in person,” he stated. “There are some very good people who work there, but they are – Haiti is one of their singular focuses. It is a very small country. They have not had a major impact on Haiti.”
“It’s more the performance of very public charity, not the actual intervention in deep and meaningful ways,” Davidson noted.
Celebrities, the writer suggested, come with the price of admission:
"And then every hour or so, they parade – Angelina Jolie is hustled through a room and she doesn’t stop to talk to anyone or hang out, but you get to say that you were with Angelina Jolie that morning.
It just feels like the worst version of an elite selling access to the aspirational, creating this theater of doing good, but it’s all about something else. It really feels gross."
