Civilna incijativa Avaaz.org, koja ima 47 milijuna pretplatnika, upravo je
odaslala poruku koju prilažem niže.

Moja dosadašnja iskustva s njihovim porukama su da su uvijek dobro
istražene, odnosno počivaju na vjerodostojnim podacima. (One to, uostalom,
i moraju biti, zbog sudskih tužbi i odštetnih zahtjeva kojima se izlažu.)

U nastavku poruke Avaaza navedeni su medijski izvori (uglavnom novine i
portali poznati po vjerodostojnom izvještavanju).

Činilo mi se da ne bi bilo loše pročitati, pa prosljedjujem.

Srdačni pozdravi svima, Mirko

REVEALED - Here's What Russia 'Has' On Trump

Dear friends,

It’s now shockingly clear that Donald Trump is Putin’s poodle.
The Shocking Truth about Trump

But we need the world to understand why, before it’s too late…

Trump's businesses went bankrupt so many times in the 1990s that many
legitimate banks wouldn’t lend to him anymore. He turned to Russian
oligarchs -- Putin’s ruling clique -- to bankroll his projects, and
launder their dirty money for them. This was, and continues to be, a huge
part of his business. He’s a Russian money launderer.

--------------------------------------------
"We don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of
Russia." Donald Trump JR, 2014
--------------------------------------------

This isn’t speculation or hyperbole. There's mountains of evidence.
Trump’s former election campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, has deep ties to
Russian oligarchs, and is currently in jail awaiting trial on, among other
charges, money laundering!

Here are 5 more top facts everyone should know about Trump's long
collusion with Russian organised criminals -- forward this email and share
it on Facebook -- we all deserve to know the truth:

1

Trump’s main financial backer for the Trump Tower Toronto was a
Russian-Canadian billionaire who got the money by selling a massive steel
mill in Ukraine for nearly a billion dollars. $100 million of that money
was paid to a Kremlin-backed fixer, likely as a bribe to VERY high Russian
officials. The Chairman of the Bank who financed the deal? Vladimir Putin.

2

Trump bought his home in Palm Beach, Florida for $41 million. A few years
later, with no real increase in the value -- he sold it for $95 million --
the most expensive home in America at the time! Why? A major Russian
oligarch bought it -- we don’t know yet why he effectively ‘gave’ Trump
$54 million. But it’s classic money laundering practice.

3

Trump's real estate deals were often fuelled by Russian money, typically
passed through shady shell companies. 77% of Trump Soho apartments were
bought with cash by such mysterious companies. At least 13 people with
links to Russian oligarchs or mobsters lived in Trump properties,
including one of Russia's top mobsters. One even ran a high-stakes illegal
gambling ring in the apartment right below Trump's!

-----------------------------------
"Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our
assets" Donald Trump JR, 2008
-----------------------------------

4

Trump’s financial broker and “Senior Advisor” was a Russian convicted
felon named Felix Sater, widely known as a mafia figure who once stabbed
someone in the face with a broken margarita glass, requiring over 100
stitches. Sater helped set up shell companies, and arranged funding for
Trump’s projects, including plans for Trump Tower Moscow. He’s also part
of Putin’s inner circle.

Here’s one email he wrote to Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen in November, 2015:
---------------------------------
"Michael I arranged for Ivanka to sit in Putins private chair at his desk
and office in the Kremlin. I will get Putin on this program and we will
get Donald elected. We both know no one else knows how to pull this off
without stupidity or greed getting in the way. I know how to play it and
we will get this done. Buddy our boy can become President of the USA and
we can engineer it. I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I
will."

New York Times, August 27, 2017
---------------------------------

5

Trump’s other main business is casinos -- which are classic money
laundering vehicles. One of his casinos was 100 times found in violation
of federal rules protecting against money laundering, and paid the largest
fine ever levied against a casino for having “willfully violated”
anti-money laundering rules. Trump has a legal obligation to do “due
diligence” for all his businesses to prevent laundering. His senior
executive’s comment on this was “Donald doesn’t do diligence”.


The Big Picture

Putin is a former KGB officer who has used chemical weapons, assassinated
people in other countries, invaded the Ukraine, occupied Crimea, shot down
the MH17 airliner with almost 300 passengers on board, aided a murderous
regime in Syria, condoned the beating and torture of gays, stolen up to
$200 billion from his own people, hacked foreign elections and launched
what NATO calls the largest hybrid warfare campaign in history to
undermine western liberal democracies. He is also widely believed to have
ordered the murder of Russian journalists and critics, and bombed hundreds
of Russian civilians to fake a terrorist attack and justify a war in
Chechnya.
Yet when asked at their press conference if Trump had any criticism of
Putin, he had none, and ridiculed US law enforcement for investigating
Russian attacks on US democracy!

Why? Trump has been working for Putin's corrupt inner circle for almost 20
years. And it's that corrupt circle that promises to make him rich for the
next 20 (he's refused, in violation of all ethics, to divest from his
businesses as President).

Trump *may* be a Russian intelligence asset, he *may* have colluded with
Putin to sabotage the US election. But what is clear is that he is a
corrupt Russian money launderer, in the pocket of a KGB dictator. The
whole world needs to know this, and rally together to prevent the damage
this corrupt alliance threatens. Share this email with everyone…


With hope,

PS -- scroll down for a TON of credible, trustworthy, fact-checked sources
for everything in this email. Avaaz isn't one of those absurd troll
publications that slings lies for profit -- we're a nonprofit, and every
time we make an error anywhere, we publish the correction on our accuracy

PPS -- if Trump the 'organized criminal money launderer' sounds like a
stretch to you, consider it just the tip of the iceberg of Trump's known
corruption:

    His 'charitable foundation' is likely to be shut down for multiple
examples of fraud.
    Trump 'University' scammed legions of vulnerable people out of their
money.
    He had an affair with a pornstar and paid her to keep quiet -- she
says she was also threatened with physical violence.
    His ex-wife attested in court documents that he brutally raped her
while tearing out her hair after he didn't like the hair replacement
doctor she recommended.
    He bragged, on tape, about sexually assaulting multiple women.
    Hundreds of people hired by Trump say he simply decided not to pay
them for their work -- including dishwashers, painters and waiters,
some of whom were making minimum wage.
    He has been sued, and forced to pay out settlements, over a hundred
times.

Trump is not a devil -- he's a human being, and like all people he has
positive qualities and legitimate views. But anyone who denies that he is
deeply corrupt, isn't looking at the facts. To understand Trump, and
protect our world from him, we need to understand his corruption.
