If you’re talking about US funds directed towards foreign govs then yes the bulk of it is in order to try to influence the politicians of said country to sway legislation favorable to the US and US companies. No doubt of it. I hope that some of it trickles down to the masses but suspect little does.
If you’re talking about the Uranium One deal then Hillary and Bill have a lot of splainin to do!
Things to make you smile …

From Schaeffer Research=Traders have been buying GLD puts over calls amid bitcoin mania by Andrea Kramer
GLD CALLS ARE CHEAP WITH PUTS IN DEMAND
[this is not the same article-the last one was about GDX]
Similar to the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX), the 10-day moving average of GLD’s put/call skew on 10% out-of-the-money (OOTM) options — which compares implied volatility (IV) readings for OOTM puts against OOTM calls — has skyrocketed recently, and now stands at a 2017 high. This indicates traders are bidding up the odds of an extended drop in GLD, which touched a five-month low just last week.
In fact, options traders have been buying to open GLD puts over calls at near annual-high clip in recent weeks. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), the fund’s 10-day put/call volume ratio of 1.19 is higher than 98% of all others from the past year.
What’s more, total call open interest for GLD stands at just under 1.9 million contracts — the lowest point in at least a year. Total put open interest, on the other hand, stands at just under a million contracts, in the middling 55th percentile of its annual range. Echoing that, GLD’s 30-day IV skew of negative 0.9% is higher than 91% of all other readings from the past year, suggesting calls on the ETF have rarely been cheaper relative to puts.

Just looked him up to get his take on current events. Gives s good comparison to crypto currency vs gold and why gold is better.

This is my take in Africa. Most any money they get is not going to the people. It’s going to their messed up corrupt leaders and military. The people are starving with little opportunities. So what do their corrupt leaders do instead of God forbid spending some of that money on the people tell them in their racist rehtoric to go take from the white. Sack the city instead. Then what! Next they will attack the blacks or certain groups like they’ve done before. Meanwhile they continue to get away with it.

They should bring military in there get the white familys out and burn anything they had. Give them sanctuary somewhere else like Australia if their farmers. Stop Aid to hostile places like that and leave them to their own demise. No better than N Korea maybe worse. I guess that would seem hostile to a hostile country. Then when someone like China who is less politically correct can take over but then all the animals will die because they will use them up in superstitious medicine or exploitation so we’ll have to rescue a few of them too so they don’t go extinct. In China they drug beautiful tigers and let people line up and abuse them so the idiots can feel tough I guess hitting a drugged animal without conscience. Maybe that’s why God made them stronger than stupid humans.
