A significant incursion, under our collective noses.

With risk of Captain Obvious, is this a different iteration of the Dubai ports deal of a few years ago and/or in fact the same thing?

Thanks.

[SaveFerris]

Seems like you would be a logical ping for a heads-up.

I remember the early response to this then upcoming incursion...many many moons ago. but had lost track of its “progress”

Thank you.

Curious about the last photos of CMA-CGM, a French container shipping company. I guess they needed more pictures of container ships to fill out the story, but it’s French, not Gulftainer.

Secret deal... usual suspects

“Recently-installed Port Canaveral CEO John Walsh concealed the Pelican Project and the identity of Gulftainer from the public until June 24, 2014, by which time Gulftainer officials from the UAE had already arrived in Florida for a signing ceremony. “

Gulfainer USA (GT USA) is a unit of UAE’s privately-held intermodal container terminal operator Gulftainer, which in turn is a unit of Crescent Enterprises, part of the Crescent Group conglomerate.

The UAE’s Jafar family, which owns and controls both the Crescent Group and Gulftainer, has both direct and indirect connections to former President Clinton, a 1776 Channel investigation has discovered.

Two brothers, Majid Jafar and Badr Jafar, stand at the helm of the Jafar family business empire.

Majid Jafar, 38, is CEO of UAE-based Crescent Petroleum, the petroleum unit of the Crescent Group.

Badr Jafar, 35, is Managing Director of the Crescent Group, President of Crescent Petroleum and CEO of Crescent Enterprises, the parent of Gulftainer.

Majid co-Chairs, alongside former President Clinton, Business Backs Education, a United Nations UNESCO-run global educational campaign. The campaign is funded by the Varkey GEMS foundation, a contributor to the Clinton Global Initiative.

“The Varkey GEMS Foundation has helped to facilitate more than 2,300 commitments through the Clinton Global Initiative to date. Upon funding and implementation, these commitments will have a total value of over $70 billion.” – Varkey Foundation Website

Treasury Secretary Lew granted approval to the Port Canaveral Gulftainer deal, without a national security review, on September 26, 2014, almost exactly six months after Bill Clinton and Crescent Petroleum CEO Majid Jafar stood on stage together at the Global Education & Skills Forum 2014 in Dubai.

The Jafar family owns both of these and has close ties to former President Bill Clinton.....

Hmmmm...I wonder if a "donation" was made to the Bill and Hill slush fund? Had to go through the State Dept at some point.

A container ship is ideal for launching a missile containing an EMP.
