I would bet my next bowl of grits, as a resident of Georgia, that the group who wanted a 10% cut of the Brown & Root contract included greasy banker Bert Lance, who was up to his neck in financing terror in the BCCE scandal.
From Wikipedia: The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was a major international bank founded in London, United Kingdom by Agha Hasan Abedi, a leading Pakistani financier, in 1972. The company was registered in Luxembourg. At its peak, it operated in 78 countries, had over 400 branches, and had assets in excess of US$ 20 billion making it the 7th largest bank in the world by assets.[1][2]
BCCI became the focus in 1991 of the world’s worst financial scandal and what was called a “$20-billion-plus heist”.[3] It was found by regulators in the United States and the United Kingdom to be involved in money laundering, bribery, support of terrorism,[4] arms trafficking, the sale of nuclear technologies, the commission and facilitation of tax evasion, smuggling, illegal immigration, and the illicit purchases of banks and real estate. The bank was found to have at least $13 billion unaccounted for.
FARS, you should consider accepting advertising on your site if you’re hurting.
Would love the financial help but advertising potentially compromises the integrity of the site since we cannot verify the sources.
The Mullahs and Islamists spend multiple millions of dollars and have corrupted almost every Iranian language TV and radio station in the USA and Europe.
We got hold of a letter from Supreme Ruler Ali Khamanei ordering a payment of $2.5 million to a Persian language TV here in the USA for exceptional service! That’s the tip of the iceberg.
When the recipients begin to rely on the income they are asked to do fairly innocuous favors like promoting a company on their stations, little knowing they are helping increase funding to Islamists or Mullah operatives.
You can imagine the rest.
The MEK Marxist-Islamists recruited followers in Iran for the revolution this way. First with “could you drop this letter off on your way home” after the first meeting.
Then later a package. Followed by sudden panic that the package had contained a weapon or something else and the Shah’s Security had found out. But of course, “we the MEK” will look after you as we take care of our own. Again imagine the rest.
For AntiMullah, even money from an official source might try to make us beholden to them. All our lives we have resisted being beholden to anyone, only doing what WE thought was right with the option not to do something because they wanted to contribute to costs/expenses.
Luckily we always preferred wearing a white hat.
If someone could meet us on those terms then great. Happy to give value and earn the money but on my terms and no strings.
cheers,
