CNN just did a short bit on SMILES/COLUMBIA as part of their Champions for Change.
SMILES corrects cleft palates in kids across world.
I wonder if CNN is not preemptively trying to save their reputation before some child trafficking scandal comes to light.
Many of these charities are covers for child trafficking in 3rd world countries.

1999-2002: Criticism and response[edit]
In November 1999, specific patient deaths[39] brought criticism on Operation Smile's medical procedures, suggesting the organization prioritized publicity and volume over patient welfare and safety.[40][41] In response, Operation Smile conducted an internal review. Initially, the organization "promised to make public the full findings of the review",[citation needed] though later chose not to release the findings, considering the review an internal matter. Several directors disagreed with this choice and left the board. Four months after announcing the review, the organization publicly acknowledged organizational flaws.[42] By 2002, the organization also established medical credential standards, improved medical monitoring of patients, and implemented quality and financial controls
Financial information[edit]
Operation Smile's 2017 digital financial report shows cash revenues of $59,215,636. The report shows fundraising/administrative expenditures of $26,016,760 (43.9%)
Operation Smile's 2013 financial overview report shows an income of $49,516,821 in cash contributions. The report indicates an expenditure of $23,189,296 for fundraising and administration.[44]
In 2011, Forbes ranked Operation Smile as the tenth "least efficient" large U.S. charity, tied with the Alzheimer's Association and just ahead in efficiency of the American Cancer Society.[45] Forbes noted that "financial efficiency is far from the whole story when it comes to assessing a charity’s vitality or even effectiveness."[45]
Operation Smile spends 42% of the money donated to the charity on fundraising and administration, including a salary of $350,000 (and an additional $27,915 in other compensation) for its chief executive.[46][47]

Hussein's April 2014 trip to SK
President Obama attended a wreath-laying ceremony at the War Memorial of Korea and visited Gyeongbokgung, before meeting with President Park Geun-hye at the Blue House to discuss North Korea's nuclear threat and the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement. In the wake of the sinking of the MV Sewol, President Obama also presented President Park with the American flag that flew over the White House during the day of the disaster (April 16), as well as presenting a magnolia seed to the Danwon High School, which victimized a number of the high school's students and teachers. The following day, the President met with American and Korean business leaders to discuss the trade and economic cooperation between the two countries and delivered remarks at Yongsan Garrison.[44][45][43]

There is the Magnolia seed??
Magnolia Pictures has acquired worldwide rights to “The Final Year,” a behind-the-scenes look at Barack Obama’s foreign policy team, Variety has learned. The HBO documentary was directed by Greg Barker. It unfolds during the 44th president’s last year in office, following America’s top diplomats and political advisors as they grapple with the rise of ISIS, try to hammer out a nuclear deal with Iran, and attempt to bring attention to the issue of global warming. The film profiles several key members of Obama’s staff, including Secretary of State John Kerry, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, Deputy National Security Adviser and presidential confidant Ben Rhodes, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, and President Obama himself.
The movie had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before screening at the BFI London Film Festival. It will next show as the opening night selection of DOC NYC on Nov. 9. Magnolia plans to launch a multi-city theatrical release on Jan. 19th, 2018 — the anniversary of the presidential inauguration. That’s likely something of a painful memory for the people profiled in the film, most of whom were astounded by President Donald Trump’s White House victory (they’re often seen reassuring worried allies about “the Donald”). HBO will debut “The Final Year” on the network in the second quarter of 2018.

SEOUL (Yonhap) — U.S. President Barack Obama offered a U.S. national flag and a magnolia seedling to South Korea on Friday in a symbolic token of sympathy and condolences over the tragic sinking of the ferry Sewol, officials said.
Obama’s visit comes as South Korea is in national mourning over the April 16 disaster that left more than 300 people dead or missing, many of them high school students. What action Obama would take to express sympathy and condolences has been a focus of attention.
During his summit with South Korean President Park Geun-hye, Obama handed Park a Stars and Stripes with a written message that said: “This American flag was flew over the White House the same day that so many lost their lives aboard the ferry Sewol.”
“The flag is presented to President Park and the people of the Republic of Korea on behalf of the American people. It reflects our deep condolences, our solidarity with you at this difficult time, and our great pride in calling you an ally and friend,” the message said.
Obama also offered a magnolia sapling from the White House to Danwon High School in Ansan near Seoul, which lost hundreds of students and teachers in the sinking, with a message of “deep sympathy that the American people have for the families and loved ones of those who perished in this tragedy.”
Magnolias have decorated White House lawns since former President Andrew Jackson planted one in memory of his deceased wife in the mid-1800s, officials said.

Reading this makes me wonder if the attack in SK was not a deep state op.
