1997 The Prince became Apple Computer Inc.'s second-largest shareholder; SFGate: Big Buys By Saudi Prince / He invests in Netscape, News Corp... (November 26, 1997)
1997 The Prince also purchased 5% of Netscape, 2.5% of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp and 1% of Motorola Inc.
In October 2001, following the World Trade Center attacks, New York mayor Rudy Giuliani turned down a $10 million donation from Alwaleed for disaster relief after the prince suggested the United States "must address some of the issues that led to such a criminal attack," and "re-examine its policies in the Middle East." Giuliani interpreted his statements as drawing "a moral equivalency between liberal democracies like the United States, like Israel, and terrorist states and those who condone terrorism."[7]
In 2002, Alwaleed donated 18.5 million British pounds ($27 million) to Palestinians during a TV telethon following Israeli operations in the West Bank refugee camp in Jenin in response to a suicide bombing that killed 29 Israelis. The telethon was ordered by Saudi King Fahd to help relatives of Palestinian "martyrs", which the Saudi government defined as "Palestinians who are victimized by Israeli terror and violence," and insisting the money wouldn't reach the families of suicide bombers. Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal stated that half of his pledge would help rebuild Palestinian infrastructure destroyed by Israeli forces, while the rest would be donated in the form of goods, including 100 vehicles and clothing.[8][9] However, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council said that "some money will go to the families of suicide bombers." [10]
On November 20, 2008, it was announced that Prince Alwaleed bought 5% of the Citigroup's shares.Financial Times: Prince Alwaleed Buys Citigroup Shares (November 20, 2008)5

Translation of the first one minute forty seven seconds of this program.
The war in Iraq does not seem to be over al all, but in the meantime the rebuilding has already started. This has unleashed fierce competition for contracts, which are mainly awarded to American ( U.S.) companies.
What is remarkable about these companies, is that they have people on their payroll from American politics and the military. Is this a conflict of interest, or is this the new global way of doing business?
[text in the screen at this time reads: 'the iron triangle']
One of the companies that operates in this manner is the Carlyle Group.
On their payroll are people like George Bush (Sr.), James Baker III and old premier John Major.
The Carlyle Group is a private investment bank which doesnt come to the publics attention very often but it is one of the biggest American (ed: USA) investors of the defense industry, telecom, property and financial services.
In March 2008, Carlyle Capital, an affiliate of the private equity firm the Carlyle Group, said that its negotiations with lenders had broken down and that it was in default on $16.6 billion in loans. Carlyle had borrowed the money to buy mortgage securities backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. All appeared well until the prices of those bonds declined and the lenders made a margin call a demand that Carlyle put up more collateral to cover the loans.
The Carlyle Funds include: U.S. Buyout Funds group; U.S. Venture Funds group; U.S. Real Estate Funds group; U.S. High Yield Funds group; Europe Buyout Fund; Europe Venture Fund; Asia Buyout Fund; Asia Venture Fund; and Carlyle/Riverstone Global Energy and Power Funds.

An amazing compilation of sourceless propaganda. Your bigoted bias is showing

explains the bowing and scraping
New reports show that Barack Obamas Harvard Law School experience was enabled by a group of black racists with connections to Saudi Islamists. What do they want from him now?
link from:Traditional Values Coalition, October 29, 2008
Why was Bill Ayers helping Obama in 1987, both have denied knowing each other, to obtain a Harvard education and why would a Saudi Prince pay for the education of a nobody like Obama?
absolutely shocking /s
AND you know what the DemonCraps will say to about info...”SO what, quit picking on the poor man..He’s doing the Nations business.”
That’s the attitude they had about all of Bill Clinton’s scandals.

See my homepage for more details and more connections.
In his 1995 book, "The Lost Books of Africa Rediscovered," al-Monsour alleged that America was plotting genocide against black Americans. The first "genocide against the black man began 300 years ago," he said at a book-signing in Harlem, while a second "genocide" was on the way "to remove 15 million black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society."
Al-Mansour told an audience in South Africa that "the Palestinians are treated like savages," something our worst ex-president, Jimmy Carter, as well as Wright might agree with. He has accused Israeli Jews of "stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America."
When he was known as Donald Warden, according to the Social Activism Project at the University of California at Berkeley, al-Monsour was the mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his associate, Bobby Seale.
California Congresswoman Barbara Lee entered an official statement of appreciation of Warden and his Black Panther colleagues for their role in founding a radical group known as the African-American Association into the Congressional Record of April 23, 2007.
Nice bio of the Saudi prince and we’ve all seen the Percy Sutton NY1 interview but do you have anything at all new or any actual proof?
Bump for later
