As Russian forces push further in the Ukraine war, the Clintons are using the crisis as an opportunity to reboot an organization that promotes climate change initiatives and globalism.
Last week, former president Bill Clinton announced the relaunch of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), which he runs with his daughter Chelsea Clinton.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has ripped the cover off of longstanding inequities and vulnerabilities across our global community,” Clinton said.
“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.”
The organization virtually ended its operations in 2017 after it received scrutiny over receiving extensive foreign donations while Hillary Clinton was running for president the year prior.
“A new chapter of the Clinton Global Initiative is beginning, and the need for cooperation and coordination has never been more urgent,” a promotional video announcing its launch claimed.
The CGI has also co-hosted events with the controversial lobbying group, the World Economic Forum (WEF).
In 2010, the CGI and the organization presented a special plenary session featuring the former president alongside the WEF founder Klaus Schwab on the “reconstruction and rebuilding of Haiti.”
“The Rebuilding Haiti Initiative will leverage the power of the private sector, working in partnership with the public sector and civil society, to help Haiti realize this untapped potential – a direct example of corporate global citizenship,” wrote the event description.
“The World Economic Forum and the Clinton Global Initiative believe that this present crisis challenges us all to work with the people of Haiti to help them build a better future, not just through immediate aid, but also through future economic growth.”
The WEF and its proponents, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have all promoted the “Great Reset” plan to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
