Al Gore Event Funded by Bin Laden's Family

The Saudi Arabia seminar that was addressed by former Vice President Al Gore over the weekend in a speech that criticized the U.S. for being too tough on Arabs was sponsored, in part, by Osama bin Laden's family.

On Saturday, the state-run Saudi news outlet Arab News reported that the Jeddah Economic Forum, where Gore spoke, was funded by "Saudi Arabian Airlines, the Saudi Binladin Group, Gulf One Investment Bank, Saudi Basic Industries Corp." and an array of other big companies with ties to the Middle East.

The Saudi BinLadin Group - which is Saudi Arabia's largest construction company - is run by Osama bin Laden's brothers and cousins. Jeddah, the site of the forum attended by Gore, is Osama bin Laden's hometown.

Although family members claim they've disowned bin Laden, his mother told reporters after the 9/11 attacks that she received advanced warning from him that something big was about to happen.

A wealthy bin Laden niece also reportedly abandoned her lower Manhattan apartment three weeks before the 9/11 attacks.

The BinLadin Group's longtime involvement in the Jeddah forum has been widely reported in the Mideast and European press.

In January 2002, ex-President Clinton addressed the JEF, which paid him $267,000 for his speech. According to London's Financial Times:

"The conference was dominated by the Saudis' desire to overcome the pressures of September 11 and strengthen U.S.-Saudi ties . . . The BinLadin Group, one of the forum's backers, has been battered by its association with Osama."

The Gores and the Bushes are both financially vested in companies that sometimes work in our interest (United Defense, part of the Carlyle group) and Occidental Petroleum (far more Al than W). Methinks therefore that Al is indeed a Republican mole to keep the GOP in power...

Bill Clinton, OTOH, was a pure populist (philisophically much in the tradition of William Jennings Bryan) socialist Democrat, who even spoke at times of dismantling the Federal Resrve and going back to the Bretton Woods system (which would put him in the same sphere of thought as Lyndon LaRouche). Meaning he's a genuine article, but with Hildabeast and Ozone Al in control, wasn't much he could actually do. I think Vince Foster and Ron Brown's deaths and other such occurences were not so much suicides or plane crashes (or deliberate if such was the case) as it was to send a message to Bubba about who was in control.. Ms. Baird (his first choice for a.g.) was far more in line with Clinton's philosophy than was the Butcher of Waco (Reno).. Look at other parts of his cabinet... His first SecDef (can't remember his name) was a Scoop Jackson Democrat, and Mike Espey at Agriculture was much in the mold of Henry Wallace.

first and foremost, remember that JEF is the Jeddah ECONOMIC Forum. Neil wasn't bashing his Brother or his country.. But Al's grandstanding is likely the work of a GOP mole...

There's precedent for a VP being cut down for Treason. Aaron Burr and John Tyler (later prez on the latter). The former went to support the forces of Santa Anna against Crockett, Bowie, etc; and Tyler supported the Confederate cause...

It looks as if AlGore has given up on running for President.

Isn't it amazing how the MSM has refused to recognized the decades of Occi Pete owning Goron and his racist father.
