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]

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 doesn’t come to the public’s 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.

Percy Sutton’s admission that this A-rab bigshot paid for obozo’s legal education is the smoking gun that the MSM tried to deep six and underplay. They swept Sutton out of sight right after that interview he gave on NY1.
