    Bono Exposed as a Complete Fraud

    Like most famous stars who claim to be helping third-world countries, Bono is a complete fraud.


    Bono with his award from Queen Elizabeth II

    ‘‘Bono’s positioning of the west as the saviour of Africa while failing to *discuss the harm the G8 nations are doing has undermined campaigns for justice and accountability.’

    It was bad enough in 2005. Then, at the G8 summit in Scotland, Bono and Bob Geldof heaped praise on Tony Blair and George Bush, who were still mired in the butchery they had initiated in Iraq. At one point Geldof appeared, literally and figuratively, to be sitting in Tony Blair’s lap. African activists accused them of drowning out a campaign for global justice with a campaign for charity.

    But this is worse. As the UK chairs the G8 summit again, a campaign that Bono founded, with which Geldof works closely, appears to be whitewashing the G8′s policies in Africa.’

    Bono has made a fresh defence of U2’s tax arrangements, claiming the Irish government would ultimately appreciate the band’s decision to offshore a share of its income through the Netherlands.

    Many of us have known for a long time about the facts concerning Bono's "charity". Much money went missing and he used a substantial amount of the donations for personal expenses and wages to friends. In 2008 his One charity received over $15,000,000.00 in donations and about $185,000.00 was actually used for charitable purposes. The rest went to salaries, lavish retreats and "giveaways" (gifts to media and other organizations). He has continued to run the charity in much the same way as he did in 2008. It's a terrible scam, both for the intended beneficiaries of the donations and also for the donors who think they are doing something good.

    Except in this case, it's one for charity, eighty for Bono

    Remember this now this was back in 2012 its all gone a bit quiet don't you think

    $28 Billion Health Fund Backed By Bill Gates And Bono Is Investigated For Fraud.

    A multi billion dollar global health fund backed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is being probed for widespread fraud after it emerged grant money to developing countries had been 'eaten up by corruption.'

    The Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), which distributes $28 billion in aid, found that two-thirds of the money from some grants had been stolen or misused by recipient countries.

    As a result of the internal investigation, donor countries Germany and Sweden have withheld over $250 million in aid money from the Global Fund on the back of the claims

    The Cabal is about to go extinct. It may even be by the end of November 2013, they will essentially be non existant, Bono is doing all he can to push cabal agenders and as for the overlords, the Iluuminatti, They are now so utterly terrified that all they are is on the verge of being ultimately revealed to a supposed lesser speies ..Insanity runs rife through their ranks and maintaining control grows harder by the day, the use of mind control is used on their own people just so they can appear to be functioning normally, they believe only lies therefore, their reality like the Tower in tarot, is about to come down for all eternity, and anyone involved in any way had better start running, the Gods Of Eternity themselves are going to erase them permanently.

    Humanity does not stand alone in this. Much hasd been done to clean out the spiritual universes too, many dark gods have been erased as have all their lackeys ...As Above So Below, The Cabal is dying a painful death and this is only the beginning.of death for those who pursue darkness. Long Live the Spiritual Revolution The White Light.

    I mean really...how does a has-been rock star, cosy up to politicians on the world stage?

    What does he get it return?

    Always been an anathema to me.

    What goes on behind the scenes?

    Doesn't make sense to this little bunny.

    Abso-bloody-lutely Wolf, amen Brother! You can palpably "feel" the desperation and panic amongst their ranks and that's just on the physical plane. Once one dips his/her toe in any other dimensional reality behind the veil they will very quickly behold a scene of turmoil and horror poised to befall anyone who has aligned with the dark agenda, we are sooooo close now. It's an exciting time to be human!

    And for the record: Spirit Walker is right, U2 absolutely suck.
