More on Conyers- the Khaled ElGindy mentioned below is closely related to Anthony Elgindy, a person who did some creative stock trading before 9/11. The ElGindy family was actively involved in the Balkans and in bringing immigrants to this country from the region - I suspect some of those immigrants handpicked for the move are hostile. One of the Elgindy's worked for the State Department; one of them ran a sort of crude travel service for Hajj pilgrims heading to Mecca. There's tons of material on the family in FR's archives.

JUNE 1998 : (AAADC, AAI, KHALED ELGINDY, CONYERS) The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee sponsors a congressional briefing to publicize the letter. Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit spoke at the briefing and described the deplorable health conditions he found during his recent visit to Iraq. In July, the Arab American Institute (AAI) sponsored a similar congressional briefing, at which Khaled Elgindy of the AAI showed slides of his visit to Iraq and Carl LeVan of Representative Conyers’ office described the letter in detail and urged the staff members in attendance to encourage their congressmen to sign on. LeVan said that the letter will probably not be sent until October, so as to get as many signatures as possible. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/695883/posts?page=70

Since that clipping about Conyers & Khaled Elgindy mentioned the Arab American Institute, here's some info on them:

NOVEMBER 1997 : (AMERICAN SPECTATOR REPORT : AAI, TAMRAZ, GABRIEL, ZOGBY & ABDULRAHMAN ALAMOUDI) "……. A few hours before Lebanese financier Roger Tamraz was to testify before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, committee staffers received a mysterious call from someone claiming to be Tamraz who alleged that Tamraz had been solicited by Gabriel to donate $50,000 to the DNC through the Arab American Institute, a Washington-based non-profit group. ……… Two things are certain about this curious case: Ed Gabriel has powerful enemies, and he made them by hitching his wagon to two highly controversial Arab-American lobbyists in Washington: James Zogby and Abdulrahman Alamoudi.
In the "bad old days" when the State Department and Congress still considered the PLO a terrorist organization, both men were staunch backers of Yasir Arafat. More recently, Zogby has called on Arab states to reinvigorate the secondary boycott against Israel, which aims to deter U.S. companies by threatening to ban them from contracts in the Arab world if they do business with Israel. ….."-- by Kenneth R.

* Khaled Elgindy : brother of Amr Ibrahim "Tony" Elgindy... a member of the Executive Board of the American Muslim Council (AMC) The AMC on its board three interesting characters:

Khaled Elgindy, Abdulrahman Alamoudi, and Sami Al Arian.

Khaled Elgindy's dad was on the boards of Benevolence International and Global Relief

Which as we know were tipped off to an FBI raid by the NY Times reporters.

Abdulrahman Alamoudi was the guy running money to Libya from Syria, who apparently has some relationship- perhaps remote, perhaps not- to another Alamoudi who owns the building in which Joseph Wilson, former ambassador to Gabon [spouse of wannabe "deep cover" CIA "spy" Valerie Plame]bases his Rock Creek Corp biz.

Sami Al Arian is the guy whose kid, a Democrat congressman David Bonior or was it McDermott staffer, was tossed out of the Bush White House complex by the secret service in the summer of 2001...

An effort to placate the group to which the al Arian kid belonged with a job offer for a muslim from a White House staffer & Clinton Clingon by the name of DiUlio appears to have ended up with the resignation of DiUlio.

Back to Elgindy- Khaled Elgindy is an advocate of the Holy Land Foundation and is also related to Anthony Elgindy, aka Amr I Elgindy, the stock investor who pulled a ton of funds out of the market on Sept 10...

Khalid Elgindy was a member of the Executive Board of the American Muslim Council (AMC) that included Sami Al-Arian (indicted 2/23) and Abdulrahman Alamoudi (arrested at Dulles International Airport 9/03).----- "9/11 and the Elgindy Brothers," By Flori06, September 29, 2004
It's a family thing, his father was on the boards of Benevolence International and Global Relief in Chicago (both shut down for funding terrorism), where he is a professor of computer science (like Sami Al-Arian) at University of Chicago.
Brother Khalid was a strong advocate of Holy Land Foundation and others associated with funding terrorism, and the proverbial trojan horse in Cythia McKinney's failed 2002 campaign...
By cooperating with a Federal judge during the summer of 2002, Tony was released on bail to home detention in San Diego. This followed his May 2002 arrest when bail was not granted because he appeared to be a flight risk. In effect, the FBI arrived at Tony's home to find a moving van as Tony had just wired money through his Canadian broker to a business shell with instructions to forward $700,000 to Lebanon. Following a visit with his attorney in New York in April 2004, Tony was arrested at the airport carrying false Mexican identification. [Hmmm, when did Alamoudi get his money from Lebanon before he went to Libya?]
However, in the period September 2002 through September 2003, Tony re-activated an Anthony@Equity message board at http://www.siliconinvestor.com and made frequent posts. While free to post (the site continues with his fans and detractors) Tony stopped doing so without explanation when Abdulrahman Alamoudi was arrested. [ Abdulrahman ] Alamoudi is part of the powerful clan from Jeddah, long associated with the bin Mahfouz family. But this isn't the most interesting part.----- "9/11 and the Elgindy Brothers," By Flori06, September 29, 2004

Among the stable of issues bashed by Elgindy was not only Khashoggi's GenesisIntermedia (GENI) (Khashoggi has long been a target of investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles), but Michael Silver's Amazon Natural Treasures (AZNT). ----- "9/11 and the Elgindy Brothers," By Flori06, September 29, 2004

SEPTEMBER 10, 2001 : (A MESSAGE IS POSTED TO THE MESSAGE BOARD OF MICHAEL SILVER'S 'AMAZON NATURAL TREASURES - AZNT BY A 'SalemsHex12' TO 'ParanoiaTango' ---- See ANTHONY 'TONY' ELGINDY) Among the stable of issues bashed by Elgindy was not only Khashoggi's GenesisIntermedia (GENI) (Khashoggi has long been a target of investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles), but Michael Silver's Amazon Natural Treasures (AZNT). The concern of the FBI was not initially Tony's [Tony Elgindy's] bashing and dumping of Khashoggi-related GenesisIntermedia stock, but a message posted September 10, 2001 to the AZNT board by SalemsHex12. A prominent poster at the site was "ParanoiaTango" to whom equally prominent SalemsHex 12 posted a cryptic message. The points conveyed: "Prepare to lose operatives. Your gas masks are no defense against our silver bullets. Move to secure red phone."
Not long after the message was posted, Tony Elgindy called his securities broker who oversees Tony's long term investments for a trust he created for his children. He directed that all of the stocks in the portfolio be liquidated that day (Sept. 10, 2001), and said the Dow was going to crash. This is what prompted the broker to notify the FBI, portfolio liquidation of long term investments, not his short-selling in GenesisIntermedia. The message was there at the AZNT
thread for everyone to see but was removed at some point. True to form, Salem re-posted the message not long after Tony's release on bail at the resurrected Amazon Natural Treasures thread and following this, delivered a sincere apology for the slip by way of a message posted to Anthony@Equity.
Cryptic messages warning of the attack were therefore being posted for people possibly in the know at securities sites. Some 34 indictments related to the Elgindy matter remain under seal in the Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn).
The Elgindy trial on charges of racketeering (running a short selling ring based on inside information from the FBI) is scheduled to begin October 4, 2004. Look for coverage by the "Wall Street Journal" as Elgindy was a key character in John Emshwiller's "Scam Dogs and Momo Mamas" about the world of message boards, online trading in penny stocks, and short sellers.
The Wall Street Journal leads the way in covering the Muslim Brothers (Muslim Brotherhood), root of all terrorist financing fronts in the U.S. for causes from Al Qaeda to Hamas. While most papers pay a one-line mention to the Muslim Brotherhood because of decades of CIA funding, the Wall Street Journal has provided in- depth coverage.
