Before everyone starts trashing Oxfam for their connections to sexual abuse in Haiti, consider whether they are being outed, sacrificed or being used as a shiny distraction. There is bad blood between the Clinton's and Oxfam. In the coming days, there will be a lot of revelations about sexual abuse of women and children.
Headline: WikiLeaks: Clinton Foundation Staffer Gripes ‘Oxfam Screwed Us Publicly in Haiti’
Summary: An email released by WikiLeaks reveals Amitabh Desai, the Clinton Foundation’s director of foreign policy, trashing nonprofit charity organization Oxfam for being critical of the Clintons’ embattled charity after the anniversary of the deadly earthquake in Haiti.
More from Article: The bad blood between the Clinton Foundation and Oxfam began, apparently, after Oxfam International released a report that was strongly critical of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC), which was co-chaired by Bill Clinton.
“So far, the Commission has failed to live up to its mandate,” the report of the Bill Clinton-led commission said. “Many Haitian officials still do not have the technical ability to lead projects, and almost no major reconstruction projects have started. The Commission is a key element for reconstruction and it must cut through the quagmire of indecision and delay.” Senior Clinton Foundation staffers coordinated with top Hillary Clinton State Department officials to give special treatment to people identified as “FOB” (friends of Bill Clinton) in the wake of the deadly 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
The former president of the Haitian Senate sharply criticized Hillary Clinton and her troubled charity following the release of the aforementioned “Friends of Bill Clinton” emails. “As my people were dying, Hillary was abusing her position as Secretary of State and prioritizing access to what the State Department viewed as a ‘gold rush’ for her wealthy donors in exchange for exorbitant speaking fees and large donations to the Clinton Foundation,” Sansaricq wrote.
So the question now: Is Oxfam's fall part of the draining of the swamp, or another Clinton Cabal well planned "suicide?"

The bad blood created an opportunity perhaps for this particular dam to break. There are already calls for investigations in other countries Chad and Algeria. https://twitter.com/CORCAS_AUTONOMY/status/963106715284791296
The UN soldiers are being reported https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/feb/13/ngo-crimes-go-far-beyond-oxfam
The Charity Commission should be scrutinized, though the Guardian is saying their failures were due to underfunding: https://www.theguardian.com/voluntary-sector-network/2018/feb/14/oxfam-scandal-uk-charity-regulation-charity-commission-underfunding
And senior officials at a Government department are facing questions over claims an investigation into sexual exploitation by UK aid workers was suppressed. https://news.sky.com/story/priti-patel-government-officials-pushed-back-inquiry-into-aid-workers-abuse-11246130
It would just take a little push from activists and whistleblowers to make some serious headway.

Agreed. Reminds me of the scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade under the streets of Rome with all those rats...light a single match and watch them scurry...gnawing and tearing at each other, climbing over one another just to get free...
Run, rats, run.

Well put. I'm watching all the people who must have known now feigning shock and horror.
