Forget the foreign money going to the Clinton Library. If this is true, Hillary may have even more shady money coming in, from even more shady sources than anyone, myself included, would have thought. Could known terrorist supporters be helping raise money for Hillary? The Ministry of Defense of the nation of Sri Lanka says that they are.
Well known activists of a banned terrorist group in the United States are involved in the fund raising activities of the US Democratic candidate Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton.
According to a fundraising web site for the Senator, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) activists are involved in raising funds from 100 Dollars to 2300 Dollars to help elect Senator Clinton as the next United States President.

New Jersey residents have expressed the fear, that LTTE or the Tamil Tigers could flush supporters with millions of dollars, to buy influence over the next possible President of the United States of America by infiltrating into democratic fund raising machine.
An email distributed by a female activist, Pat Pathmakumar for the group under the name "Tamils for Clinton" has appealed to contribute for the Clinton fund by sending checks to her or a man named Ram Ranjan, a man who organized the LTTE Heroes day meeting in New Jersey last year. Ranjan has publicly admitted he raised funds for LTTE front, the Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO).
The terrorist group, that introduced innovative methods like suicide jackets to many terrorist groups in the world, is listed as a foreign terrorist group by the State Department and the US Federal police , the FBI has alleged that the group had offered to them millions of dollars as bribes to lift the ban. The group is alleged to be using bribes to buy influence in India, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. The money is being earned mostly by fraudulent business, credit card scams, drug running, voluntary fund raising and extortions of the Tamil Diaspora, according to a recent report of the Jane's Defense weekly.
According to the Clinton website, a leading LTTE activist, who came to live in New Jersey in 1994, called Ram Ranjan is one of the fund raisers of the Clinton campaign. Several others who are connected with him are also listed among the fund raisers.
Ram Ranjan has earlier admitted that he had raised funds for the Tamil Tigers front organization called Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO) which had raised funds purportedly for humanitarian purposes but actually diverted those funds for terrorist activities from many countries in the world.
A year ago he told a New Jersey newspaper called Star Ledger that although he supported the TRO; it is not connected with the terrorist group LTTE.
The Star Ledger reported, "… ……… he serves as state coordinator of the Tamil Rehabilitation Organization, which raises money for medical services, schools and orphanages and the victims of the LTTE, not the LTTE, Ranjan said."
The US State Department has identified the TRO as a front organization of the LTTE and it is banned in many countries in the world.
Do I think Clinton knows about about this and is encouraging it? No. Do I think it is quite possible? Yes. An official government department of a foreign nation also believes it and is willing to publish that belief to the world. Which requires one to ask a question: why would agents for a known terrorist front organization specifically want Hillary Clinton elected? That could lead to some uncomfortable moments for Clinton if any member of the media actually would ask her that – which you know they would not. It seems unlikely that terrorists would support an American candidate they believe would be tough on terrorism, does it not?
Wretchard at The Belmont Club found this little gem. He asks a pertinent question:
Washington has become the de facto capital of the world. It is to be expected that influence peddlers from the Middle East, China and everyone else are going to trying to get their seat at the table. How vulnerable is the US political system to this kind of influence?
I think we'd all like to know the answer to that.
