Technocrat John Podesta Hid Personal Connection To Energy Company With Russian Connections

• technocracy.news

Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta sat on the board of a small energy company alongside Russian officials that received $35 million from a Putin-connected Russian government fund, a relationship Podesta failed to fully disclose on his federal financial disclosures as required by law.

That's one of the many revelations from a 56-page report released late Sunday titled "From Russia with Money: Hillary Clinton, the Russian Reset, and Cronyism" by the non-partisan government watchdog group, the Government Accountability Institute (GAI). Breitbart Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon holds the same title in GAI and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer serves as GAI's president.

As part of her duties during the so-called Russian reset, then-Sec. of State Hillary Clinton led the way on U.S. involvement in a Russian government technology initiative that was intended to be the Russian equivalent of America's Silicon Valley known as Skolkovo. The "innovation city," located outside Moscow, has some 30,000 workers in state-of-the-art facilities under strict government control. As Slate described it in 2013, "In some ways, Skolkovo is eerily reminiscent of Soviet utopian city-building projects."
