Burson-Marsteller, Clinton, Obama and the Ukraine

[Firestarter]

I’ve got an interesting story that involves the same Burson-Marsteller that lobbied for the Turkish AKP party of Erdogan, and his partner in crime Fethullah Gulen: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...=1#post6550618
Starting in 2012, Burson-Marsteller also lobbied for the Ukraine's ruling Party of Regions.
Possibly even more interesting are the stories about Hillary Clinton’s connections to Burson-Marsteller’s Mark Penn.

Party of Regions
The Ukraine government is interesting as it hired both the Mercury Group of Paul Manafort and the Podesta Group: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...=1#post6546021
In the same period Burson-Marsteller was also hired by the Ukraine.

In April 2012, it was announced that the Party of Regions (PoR) of Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych hired Burson-Marsteller, amid a smear campaign against former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. On 1 April 2012, Renat Kuzmin accused Tymoshenko of involvement in a 1990s contract killing. In November 2011, he had already accused her of buying "cars, furs, jewellery, restaurants" while declaring a small income.
In 2011, Tymoshenko was jailed on charges of abuse of office in a trial, which EU diplomats denounced as "selective justice". In April 2012, she started a hunger strike in protest over a beating.

The British Martin Nunn, who runs PR firm in Kiev, wrote to the UK's Crown Prosecution Service over concerns that Burson-Marsteller is in violation of the UK bribery act: https://euobserver.com/foreign/116076

A spokesperson confirmed that Burson-Marsteller had worked for the Party of the Regions, between February and May 2012. Viktor Yanukovych was forced to flee the Ukraine after days of protests in the streets.
Starting in May 2012, Burson-Marsteller UK worked for the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (ECFMU) “think-tank” that advocates closer ties between Ukraine and Europe.
ECFMU also paid $790,000 to Washington-based agencies Mercury and Podesta Group in 2013 alone, though it is not clear where the money came from.
According to Ina Kirsch, the ECFMU hired PR agencies:

with the help of sponsors from business, not politics, having an interest in progressing the European integration of Ukraine.
Different private companies were paying for the activities of the PR companies, charged with supporting the ECFMU in its efforts. There were no business linked to any member of government or parliament involved in sponsoring our activities. Once members of the board of the ECFMU were named to official positions they got removed immediately.

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama
By now I’m thinking that Hillary Clinton’s role in last year’s presidential campaign was to get Donald Trump elected. As for Hillary Clinton as the opponent, that can make any politician a winner. It looks like this trick has been performed before...

When Hillary Clinton was launching her Senate re-election campaign in 2005, Mark Penn was named worldwide CEO of Burson-Marsteller, one of the largest public relations firms in the world.
Among Burson-Marsteller's clients has been the controversial military contractor Blackwater USA: http://content.time.com/time/politic...728992,00.html

In May 2007, one of the most important men in Clinton’s team, was Burson-Marsteller's top executive world-wide, Mark Penn. Mark Penn was Hillary’s pollster.
In 2007, 2008, there was a “fight” between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to become the Democratic presidential candidate.
In December 2007 Penn, guided by Clinton, told the press that Obama was “unelectable”, because of his skin colour. In doing so, they were making him into the hero that could make a “change we can believe in”. Clinton-Penn had made Obama’s race work for his advantage.

To help Obama even more, Mark Penn was forced to leave Clinton’s team after the Wall Street Journal (of president-maker Rupert Murdoch) reported that, Mark Penn, as CEO of Burson-Marsteller, had met the Colombian ambassador to promote a free-trade agreement with Columbia. At the same time, Senator Hillary Clinton was publicly opposing the trade agreement with Colombia.

To make this even more bizarre, Penn publicly resigned from his post as “Chief Strategist” for the Clinton campaign. Only 2 months earlier, Penn had denied that he was “Chief Strategist”. In a swift response the campaign’s Communications Director, Howard Wolfson, immediately explained that Mark Penn was, indeed, the official “Chief Strategist” for the “faltering” Clinton campaign.
Just think about that for a second or 2; only after Penn had to resign over a conflict of interest scandal, the Clinton campaign claimed that he was its “Chief Strategist”: https://www.globalresearch.ca/scanda...l-titanic/8636

In 2009, it became known that Burson-Marsteller, where Mark Penn was still the CEO, and his polling firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, had been awarded $6 million in federal stimulus contracts by the Obama administration.
Burson-Marsteller was hired by the Obama administration to advertise the national switch from analogue to digital television.
Clinton reportedly had to pay off her 2008 $20 million leftover campaign debt, of which only $995,500 debt remained. All of the remaining debt was owed to Penn, Schoen & Berland (a $6 million contract for a $995,500 debt…): http://www.nydailynews.com/news/poli...ticle-1.435097

When we follow the trail of the giant PR firm Burson-Marsteller, Fethullah Gülen and Erdogan it also leads to George Bush Jr...

In 2011, the FBI was investigating the illegal spending of millions of dollars of tax money by Gülen charter schools. The charter schools recruited foreign teachers, and funnelled money to Turkey.


In 2008, one Karen Hughes, trusted advisor to President George W. Bush, joined the board of directors of Burson-Marsteller…
In 2011, the Cosmos Foundation’s Harmony Schools (Gülen charter schools) hired none other than Karen Hughes: http://activerain.com/blogsview/2286...mos-foundation
