The funding from Bahrain, a repressive regime with a dismal human rights track record but also an important regional U.S. ally, reportedly amounted to one quarter of the think tank’s total income.
A significant portion of this funding reportedly pays for the think tank’s annual conference in Bahrain, the Mamana Dialogue. The original agreement between IISS and Bahrain to finance the conference contained a clause calling for the memorandum of understanding to remain confidential, according to the document, which was leaked by a watchdog and published by the Guardian newspaper last year.
As a member of IISS, McMaster participated in the Sixth Mamana Dialogue summit in Bahrain from December 11 to December 13, 2009, Breitbart News found. He is listed in IISS literature as being part of the Mamana Dialogue’s four-person panel that year on “military transformation, intelligence and security cooperation.”
From September 2006 to February 2017, McMaster is listed as a member of IISS, where he served as consulting senior fellow. The IISS describes itself as a “world-leading authority on global security, political risk and military conflict.”
IISS has offices in London, Washington, Bahrain and Singapore.
As of press time, IISS did not return a Breitbart News request seeking comment on the Bahraini financing, although the organization already confirmed funding from the kingdom in response to last year’s Guardian expose.

Already posted six threads before YOU posted this one.
Well it did not come up on the search.
Please link one of the earlier exact links. Thanks
Just look at the menu and count to six, back from your thread.
I just did a search for “H.R. McMaster’s Former Firm Funded by Sharia-Ruled Bahrain — Up to 25% Of Total Income”, and this is the only thread that comes up?
Please do not link other stories from other media about it. It should be this exact story from Breitbart. Thanks.
Well this particular article from Breitbart about McMaster ties to Bahrain is not showing up from anyone else. Only this thread comes up on the search.
Go look for yourself! The other thread had q12 posts to it and this thread only has our back & forth.
Like most of our Generals, he has gone what used to be called “asiatic”.
He thinks the weird foreign culture is pretty cool and mistakes arab acceptance of American money for “friendship”.
Who is orchestrating this drum beat to get McMaster canned? There is no denying this is orchestrated.
Why don’t you go back to one of those threads, this is the first I’ve seen.
This thread was posted 6 minutes AFTER the first one; it’s the same article, from the same place, written by the same author.
It’s NOT as though the other thread is “old” nor hard to find.
I appreciate reading FACTS, no matter who they may or may not implicate.
But maybe it’s being orchestrated by the ‘good guys’?
The irony is that while they continue to look for any link between Trump and Russia, it seems like every other person in Washington has ties to some country. And most, if not all, are much worse than anything found on Trump.
The truth is coming out that’s why. Don’t forget the Rats and MSM were thrilled when Trump picked him.
We had enough of these Islamists on the payroll during the Obama debacle. Why aren’t they GONE?
