They could use the supposed footage in litigation or to try to reach deals with men who appeared in it, with money flowing into a charitable foundation.
Right. A "charitable foundation."
Like the "Clinton Global Initiative."
What a complete and utter Shitshow.
"Charitable Foundations" are to our era as trusts were to the Robber Baron era. Legalized corruption, hidden in plain sight.
[Breitbart] Former Secretary of State John Kerry on Saturday announced the launch "World War Zero," a star-studded coalition of former heads of state and Hollywood figures dedicated to advocating for solutions to climate change.
The forthcoming organization’s website states their chief objective is to mobilize resources to tackle global warming in a way akin to the Western allies in World War II.
The New York Times reports that John Kerry, who served as a senator in Massachusetts from 1985 to 2013, has recruited former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and former Republican governors John Kasich and Arnold Schwarzenegger. A-listers such as actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Ashton Kutcher, and rocker Sting are also on board. Over 60 figures are said to have signed up for the coalition.
"We’re going to try to reach millions of people, Americans and people in other parts of the world, in order to mobilize an army of people who are going to demand action now on climate change sufficient to meet the challenge," Kerry said in an interview with the Times.
Kerry has been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration’s environmental policies, calling them "profoundly dangerous" for the planet, and has repeatedly criticized the president’s removal of the U.S. from the 2016 Paris Agreement.
Future generations will measure us by whether we acted on facts, not just debated or denied them. The verdict will hang on whether we put in place policies that will drive the development and deployment of clean technologies, re-energize our economies, and tackle global climate change," the Obama-era official wrote in an opinion-editorial for the Times last year. "Every day that goes by that we’re paralyzed by the Luddite in the White House is a day in the future that our grandchildren will suffer."

They will constantly fly via private jet from place to place to lecture small crowds of sycophants. Between stops they will rest at their huge mansions.

I wonder if Greta is available, or has her 15 minutes of fame expired?

Gather them all together in one place, then napalm the he## out of it. The "carbon offset" of ending their constant bloviation will be well covered.

Nothing against the young lady but her parents are no-talent whoring grifters who've had their eyes on the entertainment industry as a nice post-Washington landing pad for years.
Zero scored a $68 MILLION sweetheart contract with an entertainment company whose entire business depends on favorable regulatory treatment in Washington.
= Massive corruption, hidden in plain sight.
Future generations will look at our era as a rival toe the Robber Baron era for the prostitution of our politics and the domination of our economy by a few unscrupulous oligarch wannabes who bought off a large percentage of this nation's political class.
[Townhall] Ukraine is considering new ways to curry favor with President Trump, two sources who recently met with Ukranian officials told CNN. The sources say one of the ways the country hopes to win the favor of the Trump administration is by opening new investigations that may be seen as politically favorable to the president.
Ukraine relies on the United States for security assistance and the two sources say the Ukrainians are currently looking for additional support from the United States.
According to the report, it is unclear when such investigations might be announced or what subjects such investigations would cover. Obviously, Joe Biden's role in the firing of the prosecutor investigating his son's employer, which Trump discussed with the president of Ukraine on his July 25th phone call, has been front and center in the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry. One of the sources did tell CNN that any new investigations in Ukraine would have to cover current issues as well as those that happened in the past.
Hunter Biden served as a board member of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company, drawing a lucrative monthly salary from 2014 ‐ 2019. Biden has no natural energy experience, was discharged from the military for using cocaine and seemingly hired by Burisma only to buy the company influence with Hunter's father, then-Vice President Joe Biden. The move appears to have worked. Joe Biden proudly recalls the time he flew to Ukraine and bribed the government into firing the prosecutor who was investigating his son's employer.
Democrats accuse Trump of "blackmailing," "bribing" or "pressuring" Ukrainian President Zelensky into investigating Trump's political opponent Joe Biden. At the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry, Democrats brought in witnesses attempting to undermine Trump's claim that there was no pressure on President Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden tied to U.S. security assistance to the country.
[Townhall] There must’ve been something in the water back in 2012, because everyone on the top of the ballot turned out to be even worse than we originally thought. Barack Obama’s legacy is shot, being destroyed by President Trump and the radical left who now view him (laughably) as a conservative. Joe Biden doesn’t know where he is half the time, the other half has his campaign staff wishing he were somewhere else. Paul Ryan was a feckless Speaker of the House who cut bait and ran once he was free to push all the things he’d sworn for years were his deeply held beliefs. But worst of all was Mitt Romney ‐ the nicest-seeming of them all who ended up becoming the nagging, nannying squish we all secretly knew he was but pretended he wasn’t because he was the GOP nominee. And he keeps getting worse.
If there’s one Republican in the Senate who’d vote to remove President Trump, it’s Mitt Romney. He’d be happy to, though only after a long, boring press conference where he talked, earnestly and tearfully, about how difficult the decision was for him to reach.
After every decision or tweet Trump makes, reporters beat a path to Romney in the hope he’ll morph into John McCain and scold the president. They’re rarely disappointed.

The politicians' concept of "leadership" has gotten us the CIA, FBI, forever wars and an insane national debt. Maybe competent managers with strictly defined duties would serve us better.

Ref #2: Conflict is our business, and business has historically been very good.
[AMGreatness] Neither the NeverTrump Right nor the Progressive Left has yet offered a coherent defense of their de facto, three-year-long singular effort to delegitimize and ultimately remove Trump from office before the 2020 election.
We are now in the midst of a systematic effort to impeach a president on the basis of a thought crime. Trump’s purported quid pro quo sin was issuing a temporary hold on military assistance to Ukraine that supposedly transcended legitimate worries about rampant corruption‐to include specifically investigating the suspicious behavior of a corrupt Ukrainian oil company and the compromised relationship of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son around it.
The anti-Trump writ is that it is impeachable even to delay to the Ukrainians lethal military assistance while citing the need to investigate the corruption of Ukrainians, including the career of Hunter Biden, whose father, the former vice president and "point man" on Ukraine, is now running for president.

Kurt Schlichter has written about the (D) brave new world. Lots of interesting weapons and tactics, to this non-military guy. A fun - and scary - read.

It Ain't Just MN
[AlphaNewsMN] It’s highly likely that the $75 million is only just the beginning of the wrongful billings at Minnesota’s DHS.
Obamacare came along and intended to expand Medicaid to poor able-bodied adults who didn’t have children under their care, but who didn’t receive employer-provided insurance. But the Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare couldn’t force Medicaid expansion on states. Instead, to get states to sign up for Medicaid expansion, the ACA said that feds would cover 100 percent of the cost of new enrollees, for a time, and would cover 90 percent of the cost starting in 2020 and beyond.
BAD INCENTIVES
The first problem was that while some expansion beneficiaries truly were unable to work, or unable to work at a job that offered employer-provided coverage, others were opting for shiftlessness.
