I always thought Jesse Senior was an arms dealer, which would explain his amazing success negotiating hostage deals with Third World thugs, and that friend of his who got arrested several years ago trying to peddle missiles in Florida.

hmmmm..never heard about his friend peddling missiles!! Remember when Jesse Sr. said he’d like to cut off Obama’s cajones? Things that make you go hmmmm..... Wouldn’t it be interesting if the Jackson’s were the ones to finally bring Obama down by exposing his corruption and anti-American bent? No-one could scream ‘racism’ and Jackson would be the ‘hero’. Jackson is a shakedown artist, but I don’t get the impression that he hates this country the way Obama and his marxist friends do. Probably just wishful thinking on my part.

BCCI CLIENTS OFFERED PROSTITUTES, HILL TOLD - FORMER OFFICER ALSO DETAILS EFFORT BY BANK TO COURT JESSE JACKSON
Washington Post - Thursday, March 19, 1992
Author: Sharon Walsh, Washington Post Staff Writer

Drug-money laundering, bribery, arms merchants and noteworthy politicians. The global scandal of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International had almost everything it needed to be a major motion picture — except sex. Now it has that, too

Nazir Chinoy, former head of BCCI’s French and African operations, testified yesterday before a Senate subcommittee that the international bank’s Pakistan office regularly arranged for teenage girls to be brought in from the countryside to “take care of any personal needs” of the wealthy Middle Eastern clients of the bank.

Chinoy, who has pleaded guilty to drug-money laundering in Tampa and is cooperating with U.S. investigators, also added the name of Jesse Jackson to the list of U.S. friends of BCCI, including former president Jimmy Carter, who benefited from BCCI’s financial largesse. The bank paid the hotel bills of Jackson , his wife and several others in his party during two trips to Paris in late 1985, Chinoy said. The expenses were about $11,000 for the two stays, Chinoy said.

Shortly after he arrived in Paris in 1985, Chinoy said, he received a telephone call from Aga Hasan Abedi, BCCI’s founder, telling him that Jackson would be coming to Paris after visiting Abedi in London. Chinoy picked up Jackson and his party at the train station and made arrangements for him to stay in the suite where Abedi usually stayed at the Paris Hilton. BCCI paid about $4,000 in expenses for Jackson on that trip, Chinoy said.

Chinoy told Senate investigators that after leaving Paris, Jackson went to Africa, where he encouraged state banks to open accounts at BCCI, an allegation Jackson denied. Jackson then returned to Paris, this time requesting that he and his party stay in a suite at the more elegant George V Hotel. BCCI also provided Jackson with a Rolls-Royce for his stay. The hotel bill for that visit was about $7,000, Chinoy said yesterday, and was paid from BCCI’s Cayman Islands bank.

Jackson said yesterday that BCCI did pay about $11,000 for his accommodations during two visits to Paris in late 1985. But he said that he has never had any business relationship with the bank or its founder, and that he was unaware of any wrongdoing at the bank at the time.

In his wide-ranging testimony, Chinoy also said Adnan Khashoggi , the Saudi arms dealer, would write checks on a BCCI Monte Carlo branch even though he didn’t have enough funds to cover the checks. Khashoggi deposited the checks in London bank accounts as a way of advancing funds to cover arms sales to Iran. There were about nine transactions totaling $16 million arranged that way, according to Chinoy.
