Inside the Clinton Foundation | Following the Money
The Clinton Foundation has been praised as a global charity, yet it has also faced long standing allegations of corruption, foreign influence, and questionable fundraising practices. This video examines the accusations that major donors received political access, favorable treatment, or strategic advantages during Hillary Clinton’s time at the State Department. Viewers will learn how the Foundation grew into a powerful political machine and why critics say the lines between charity and influence were not just blurred but ignored.
From foreign governments to multinational corporations, the Clinton Foundation collected massive sums while key allies were positioned inside Washington. This episode looks at the most controversial deals, suspicious donations, and investigative findings that raised red flags. We explain what watchdog groups uncovered, how the Foundation operated behind closed doors, and why so many investigators have called for deeper scrutiny into its financial operations.
This documentary style breakdown gives a balanced and fact driven look at the corruption claims surrounding the Foundation. Whether you are familiar with the controversy or are hearing about it for the first time, this video offers a clear timeline and a strong analysis of how money, politics, and global influence intersected. Join us as we explore one of the most contested political charities in recent American history.

John D. Rockefeller: The Man Who Created The System You Can Never Escape
1870: 31-year-old man in Cleveland controls 4% of America's oil refining. 1880: Controls 90%. 1904: Controls 91% of oil production, 85% of final sales. His name: John D. Rockefeller. The system he built didn't die when Standard Oil was broken up in 1911. It evolved, spread, and controls your life RIGHT NOW in 2025.
The gasoline you pump. Drugs you buy. Tech platforms you use. Food you eat. Banks you borrow from. Every single one uses the Rockefeller playbook. Vertical integration, horizontal consolidation, regulatory capture, tax-exempt foundations shaping policy, market dominance so complete competition becomes impossible. Rockefeller didn't just build an oil empire. He built the architecture of modern corporate control. And you cannot escape it.
THE ROCKEFELLER PLAYBOOK:
STEP 1: VERTICAL INTEGRATION
Control every stage of production. Rockefeller didn't just refine oil—he owned barrel factories (15¢ vs competitors' 25¢), tank cars, railroads, warehouses, distribution networks. Every profit margin competitors needed, Rockefeller kept in-house. Cost advantage = predatory pricing = destroyed competition.
Today: Amazon owns warehouses, logistics, delivery trucks, payment processing, cloud infrastructure (AWS: $90B annual revenue). Google owns search, video (YouTube), mobile OS (Android), cloud, hardware. Same playbook. Different century.
STEP 2: HORIZONTAL CONSOLIDATION
Buy or destroy every competitor. 1872 "Cleveland Massacre": Rockefeller approached every Cleveland refinery. Offer to buy. If refused, launch price war—sell below cost. Competitors had two choices: sell to Rockefeller or go bankrupt. 3 months: controlled 25 of 26 Cleveland refineries (4% to 25% market share). By 1879: 90% of American refining.
Today: Amazon bought Whole Foods, Zappos, Twitch, Ring, MGM (100+ acquisitions). Google bought YouTube, Android, Waze, Nest, DeepMind. Meta bought Instagram, WhatsApp. When can't buy, copy and undercut (Amazon Basics strategy).
STEP 3: THE TRUST (Corporate Structure)
1882: Rockefeller's lawyers created Standard Oil Trust. First major corporate trust in American history. Holding company that owned all Standard Oil companies. Template for every modern corporation. Alphabet owns Google/YouTube. Meta owns Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp. JPMorgan Chase is holding company. All descendants of Rockefeller's 1882 innovation.
STEP 4: REGULATORY CAPTURE
Don't just compete in markets—shape the rules. Rockefeller lobbied for railroad regulations favoring Standard Oil. Set kerosene standards his refineries met but competitors couldn't.
Today: Pharma companies fund FDA through user fees, lobby for patent extensions, write regulations they're regulated by. Big Tech writes privacy laws. Banks wrote Dodd-Frank exemptions. Rockefeller invented regulatory capture. Every industry perfected it.
STEP 5: PHILANTHROPIC INFLUENCE
1913: Rockefeller Foundation created with $250M ($7B today). Funded medical research, education, public health. But also: avoided estate taxes, controlled university funding (shaped what's taught/researched), bought legitimacy. Most hated man in America became beloved philanthropist.
Rockefeller Foundation funded modern medical education (Johns Hopkins, U Chicago, Rockefeller University). Established pharmaceutical model over holistic care. Shaped American medicine to favor drug interventions. Pharma companies (many from Standard Oil's chemical divisions) profited enormously.
Today: Gates Foundation ($75B assets), Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Buffett pledged wealth to Gates Foundation. Tax avoidance + legacy building + policy influence. Rockefeller invented it. Modern billionaires perfected it.
THE 1911 "BREAKUP" MADE HIM RICHER:
Supreme Court ordered Standard Oil broken into 34 companies (1911). Should have destroyed Rockefeller's wealth. Did opposite. Rockefeller owned shares in ALL 34 companies:
Standard Oil of New Jersey → Exxon
Standard Oil of New York → Mobil
Standard Oil of California → Chevron
Standard Oil of Indiana → Amoco
Standard Oil of Ohio → Sohio (later BP)
