Persian Gulf Sheikhs Gave Bill & Hillary $100 Million

"Corruptus in Extremis"

And like with all other high level scandals 

no one ever goes to jail

(Daily Caller)  -  A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton received at least $100 million from autocratic Persian Gulf states and their leaders, potentially undermining Democratic presidential candidate Hillary’s claim she can carry out independent Middle East policies.

As a presidential candidate, the amount of foreign cash the Clintons have amassed from the Persian Gulf states is “simply unprecedented,” says national security analyst Patrick Poole.

“These regimes are buying access. You’ve got the Saudis. You’ve got the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. It’s beyond comprehension,” Poole told TheDCNF in an interview.

Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received upwards of $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf states and their monarchs, according to the foundation’s website.

Clinton Foundation Lies Exposed

Activist groups have charged the five states — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — committed numerous human rights abuses.

For years, the accusations have centered on the Persian Gulf practice of importing hundreds of thousands of poor foreign laborers who work for low wages, including hundreds of thousands of female “domestic workers” who have no labor rights and often face exploitation and sexual abuse.

Yet as secretary of state, Clinton consciously and actively sought to legitimize the sheikdoms through many new Department of State programs.

It’s unclear what kind of promises or concessions the Clintons may have given the monarchs in return for their lavish financial support over the years, but last month the candidate reversed her long-standing support for fracking.

Hillary’s new position, unveiled last month at a CNN presidential debate with Democratic opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders, put her in alignment with the Gulf State policy that opposes North American oil and gas fracking.

Most troubling for Hillary, however, could be Bill’s personal, five-year business partnership with Dubai’s authoritarian ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin-Rashid al-Maktoum and his overall friendship with the rulers of the United Arab Emirates — a confederation of states that includes Dubai.

When Bill personally wooed bin-Rashid to join him as a business partner through his Dubai Investment Group, the sheikh was the crown prince of Dubai. During Bill’s partnership with bin-Rashid, his stature rose. He now is the undisputed ruler of Dubai and the prime minister of the UAE.

The former president and bin-Rashid did their private financial deals with a California-based private equity fund called Yucaipa Partners, which is owned by billionaire and Democratic funder Ron Burkle. The three became business partners and sought to create an offshore sovereign wealth fund for Yucaipa.

Clinton ended his partnership with the investment firm five years later, but not before pocketing at least $15 million in “guaranteed payments” from the company, according to his personal tax returns from 2003 to 2008. The former president allegedly received another $20 million of “walking away money” to leave the partnership, according to The Daily Beast.

Today, Bill is a regular visitor to Dubai. His friend bin-Rashid runs Dubai as an absolute monarchy where there are no elections. Human rights groups deplore the labor practices of both Dubai and the UAE for the exploitation of at least 250,000 foreign laborers.

Flashback - Kuwait is arming Al Qaeda

A Blast From The Past

• I first published this story on July 17, 2013.  But from then to today the Elites present these Islamists as somehow popping out of the desert fully armed as if by "magic".
• The dirty little secret of the Middle East is ISIS and the other Islamist groups are armed by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States and the CIA.

(Fox News)  -  Syrian rebels have a new source of weapons and cash from inside Kuwait, and their benefactors in the oil-rich state are sending the aid to the most militant and anti-West factions involved in the fight to topple Bashar al-Assad.

The role of Saudi and Qatari governments and individuals in the funding and arming of Islamist fighters in Syria has been well known since the civil war began more than two years ago. But now, guns and money are flowing from private sources and Salafist-controlled NGOs based in Kuwait, and they are going to rebel factions aligned with Al Qaeda.

“We are collecting money to buy all these weapons, so that our brothers will be victorious,” hard-core Sunni Islamist Sheikh Shafi' Al-Ajami announced on Kuwaiti television last month, listing the black-market prices of weapons, including heat-seeking missiles, anti-aircraft guns and rocket-propelled grenades.

Days later, Al-Ajami addressed a small throng outside the Lebanese Embassy in Kuwait and gleefully described slitting the throat of a Shiite Muslim in Syria.

“We slaughtered him with knives,” Al-Ajami said to shouts of “God is Great.”

Among the groups receiving money from Kuwait is the Syrian Islamic Front, an alliance of eight jihadist groups, which while ready to conduct joint operations with Western-backed rebels, has refused to join the Free Syrian Army. SIF leader Hassan Aboud Abu Abdullah al-Hamawi has admitted publicly the alliance has received funding from the al-Ajami network of donors.

Al-Ajami, a member of the Kuwaiti parliament, isn’t alone in the Gulf country banging the drum for jihad and raising money for Syrian rebels and jihadists. The Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which started this week, is high season for fundraising and analysts expect that with Sunni-Shiite tensions now at their height across the Middle East -- a result of what has become a sectarian conflict in Syria -- Kuwait’s Sunni Muslims will rally to anti-Shiite Islamist appeals for donations.

How much money Kuwaitis channel to jihadist and more extreme Islamist groups in Syria isn’t known. But Quillam Foundation’s Benotman believes the sums are substantial.

“We are talking millions and millions,” he says.  

According to Benotman, the money isn’t just being collected from Kuwaitis, but is being sent there by other Gulf Arabs – especially from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, to get around security measures by those governments.

Kuwait to test workers for homosexuality

Testing for Gay Thoughts

Foreigners should pass sexual orientation test greeted with

applause by MPs hailing it as a ‘sharia duty’

After a Kuwaiti official said the country may start using routine health screenings to detect homosexuality in expatriates seeking entry, Kuwaiti authorities announced their intention to increase enforcement of anti-gay legislation in both Kuwait and the Gulf countries.

For starters, Kuwaiti authorities are planning to propose a law mandating that foreign workers seeking to enter all Gulf states be required to pass a sexual orientation examination in addition to the standard medical examination.

 

Those found to be homosexual would be denied entry, according to a report by MEMRI says the Times of Israel.

Amnesty International condemned the proposal, urging Kuwait and the Gulf states to refrain from passing discriminatory legislation.

 

The Kuwaiti press also criticized the proposal, through parliamentarians were said to support it.

 

“The decision to prevent homosexuals from entering is good, and helps eliminate foreign phenomena in our society,” MEMRI quoted Kuwaiti MP Hussein Qawi’an as saying.

 

Another MP, Khalil al-Saleh, reportedly described the proposal as “preserving moral values and setting a boundary for this phenomenon, which is unacceptable in most societies.”

 

He added that the move did not limit personal liberty, but enforced moral and cultural norms.

A third parliamentarian, Sa’ud al-Hariji, said the proposal was “a sharia duty,” while a fourth, Hamoud al-Hamdan, said it protected Gulf societies against diseases brought by foreign workers who engage in “immoral practices.”

 

In Kuwait, convicted homosexuals under 21 may be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. In August, the Kuwaiti parliament appointed a special committee to discuss “negative social phenomena,” chiefly homosexuality, which was described as “a sick phenomenon” that requires treatment, supervision, and even punishment.

 

 

Kuwait is running guns to Al Qaeda in Syria

“We slaughtered him with knives, God is Great.”

Let's see, our "friends" in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf are working with

the CIA to run guns to Al Qaeda in Syria.  And Comrade Obama & his GOP

allies tell us the secular government of Syria is bad.  I smell Bullshit.

Syrian rebels have a new source of weapons and cash from inside Kuwait, and their benefactors in the oil-rich state are sending the aid to the most militant and anti-West factions involved in the fight to topple Bashar al-Assad.

Former members of the Kuwaiti parliament Falah Al Sawagh and Waleed Al Tabtabie also are highly visible fundraisers and frequent travelers to rebel-held areas in Syria, Turkey and Jordan to hand over cash to their favored groups, say analysts.

Although neither has adopted the fiery rhetoric of al-Ajami, Al Sawagh admitted recently to Reuters that he places no constraints on how the recipients spend donations he gives and the funding can go to jihad.

“They have absolute freedom to spend this money. If they can recruit mujahedeen for defending themselves and their sanctity with this money, then this is their choice,” he told the wire agency.

“[Saudi Arabia and the UAE] have established official channels for aid and the governments supervise the funds destined for Syria,” Benotman said. “Saudis and Emiratis don’t want to risk severe punishment. So they send it to individuals and charities in Kuwait instead.”

SHARIA LAW - 215 Gays & Lesbians Arrested



An "enlightened" headline from the Kuwait Times.

From Atlas Shrugs:

Sharia in action in Kuwait: 215 gays, lesbians arrested in raids on Internet cafes

Good thing gay activist Chris Stedman came out so strongly against Pamela Geller and me for protesting against Sharia mistreatment of gays, eh? We wouldn't want anyone defending these 215 people arrested in Kuwait, now, would we? That would be "Islamophobic"!

Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Kuwait: "Over 200 homos, lesbians held in countrywide Net cafe raids," from Arab Times, May 14:

KUWAIT CITY, May 13: Personnel from the Criminal Investigation Department during an extensive campaign at Internet cafes and suspicious places in the six governorates have arrested 215 young homosexuals and lesbians of various nationalities, reports Al-Anba daily.

A security source said 30 low rank officers took part in the campaign and some of the arrested persons are believed to be residence law violators and others wanted by law for committing petty crimes or on civil charges and yet others for gambling.

The violators have been referred to the authorities.
