Old News: Boris Yeltsin Blackmailed Clinton to IMF?
Old News: Boris Yeltsin Blackmailed Clinton?
I picked up Tom Fenton’s tome, Bad News (2005) at the library last week. I thought it would provide insights into what wasn’t and hadn’t been reported in the mainstream media. On page 30 I discovered and found this sentence intriguing:
“Democracy itself almost crumbled in Russia under the drunken incompetence of Presicent Boris Yeltsin, whose reelection the Clinton White House virtually planned and funded.”
Wow! Who Knew? The rest of the paragraph was ambiguous at best. I quickly googled the words Yeltsin, Clinton & IMF to find this shocker of a post that explains how this could have happened.

If you are into that kind of things then I strongly suggest that you read Naomi Kleins "The Schock Doctrine" Incredible book!
I've read some of it... Thanks for your comment I had totally forgot about this. It just goes to show you how the past is present!
