Last month I appeared on Fox News Network’s morning show, Fox and Friends, to talk about airline security. Normally such appearances end up as clips on the Fox News Web site. Granted, the Steve Ducey interview was hardly groundbreaking, but that is seldom a criterion for feeding the beast that is a major cable network news Web site. Curiously, I was quoted in a written piece on the site that got a fair amount of pick-up, but no video.
It was not until a few days later that I learned what may have been behind the absence of a video clip on the Web site. I had said to Ducey that Saudi Arabian money was still financing Al Qaeda. Ducey did not react to my comment. But ten days later I learned that Fox’s parent company, News Corporation, was, at the time of my interview, negotiating with a Saudi prince to vastly increase his stake in the company.
The notorious Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, nephew to the Saudi king, met with Rupert Murdoch in Hong Kong on Jan. 14. The prince issued a press release after the meeting stating that the prince’s Kingdom Holding Company had discussions that "touched upon future potential alliances with News Corp."
By the time I appeared on Fox News, Prince Alwaleed was about to become News Corp’s fourth largest voting shareholder (behind the Murdoch family, Liberty Media, and Fidelity Management & Research Co, a mutual fund). The prince has repeatedly defended his homeland as a problem-free place. What he has failed to mention is that he has personally donated huge amounts of money to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers.
Alwaleed is the same Saudi prince who made headlines right after 9/11 when he personally went to Ground Zero and offered then-New York City Mayor

The Saudis are not our friends or allies. They are exporters os Islam and Jihad. They buy western politicians and make sure we do not gain access to our own energy sources by funding environmentalists and law firms that support their agenda.
They own every law firm in London and if you say anything bad about the Saudis, Islam, Mohammed, etc - they are on you like a pack of jackals.
Saudies have supported with their money many European oligarchs, as did Gadaffi with Gianni Agnelli, the owner of FIAT automaker during the 1980’s (and the Italian newspaper La Stampa), that is, at the same time the Lybian dictator was funding terror attacks.
Arab tyrants have learnt very well how the western world works and what to do to have at least a silent press.
IMHO, Saddam Hussein went a step further with his Oil for Corruption program, in order to stop the invasion of Iraq.
More on the “prince”!
Unfortunately, true. And they buy diplomats and politicians by promising them large retirement benefits after they leave office. They also own academia, by funding Middle East Study Departments, so-called.
I hoped that when Bush went into Iraq and Afghanistan it would be the start of a real campaign to bring down the supporters of Jihad. That required securing Iraqi oil, then taking down Syria, then Iran, and finally going after the Saudis when the oil was secured. I have no idea whether Bush ever intended such a rational plan, but in any case he got derailed, largely because of Democrat opposition.
Now the Iraqi oil has gone to everyone but us, Syria is still a troublemaker, Yemen is growing more dangerous, and the Saudis are still as they always were.
The key would be to split Saudi Arabia in half—one part oil, the other part the Holy Places. It is extremely dangerous to have such a wealthy country also in charge of the Islamic Holy Places, because that is a huge double source of power. Break them up.
~~PING!
Makes me UGH at even the thought!!!
Rupert, know your enemies!!!
This is probably the single most upsetting thing that has happened at Fox news since its inception. I dread its implications.

Just who has been sending “the message”?
Who Is Behind Quashing the Birth Certificate Issue?
By Joan Swirsky Tuesday, August 25, 2009
EXCERPT
In an explosive interview by Dr. Laurie Roth on her syndicated West Coast radio show on August 7th, Douglas Hagmann—a respected journalist, director of the Northeast Intelligence Network and longtime private investigator, and Judi McLeod, a prolific journalist and the managing editor of Canada Free Press—the reason for the media blackout about the birth-certificate issue was nothing less than organized Mafia-like dire threats to members of the media issued not only from the heads of major TV and radio stations but also from Federal Communication Commission officials!
According to Hagmann and McLeod, who conducted a nine-month investigation and documented their findings scrupulously, after Obama was elected but before he was inaugurated:
* A major TV talk-show host reported that he was ordered not to raise the birth certificate issue or risk losing his job.
* FCC officials threatened to yank broadcasting licenses, break up conglomerates, and make the enactment of the Fairness Doctrine “look mild” in comparison to other consequences.
* In at least one corporate TV headquarters, memos were circulated to all on-air employees not to mention the birth certificate issue, as well as other specific subjects like Obama’s Illinois lawyer’s license, his college records, etc., under both implied and explicit threats.
During the interview, Hagmann and McLeod—who never mentioned a particular network by name—alluded to e-mails and other evidence in their possession, copies of which, they said, were secreted in several locations. But they did tantalize listeners with descriptions of meeting with “sources” outside of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, a high-placed contact looking nervously over his shoulder, references to directives and warnings given by “those at the top,” and the undisguised threat of one executive to his underlings: “This is serious, and so will the consequences be if anyone chooses not to be a team player with this.”
This comes as no surprise to Fox watchers who have noticed that the Stalinist-style censorship of the Obama regime is already here. This couldn’t possibly be because of the healthy shares of stock the Saudis bought in Fox, could it? If so, why would the Saudis care so much about quashing potentially damning revelations about Obama? Have they also bought shares in Obama?
Come to think of it, who exactly paid the tuition for Obama’s stint at Harvard Law School? What role did Obama’s long-time friend, Khalid al-Mansour, a key advisor to a Saudi billionaire, play? Writer Kenneth Timmerman describes al-Mansour as “well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel.” This is not to omit that al-Mansour was originally contacted to intervene with Harvard on Obama’s behalf by Percy Sutton, former Manhattan Borough President and the lawyer of Malcolm X. Ah…the tangled web of it all!
Then there is the question of what role was played by Saudi Prince Alwaleed, the nephew of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia? You remember Prince Alwaleed, who offered then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani $10 million after September 11 if he would only blame America for the terrorist attacks of which 15 of 19 perpetrators were Saudi Arabian—a “gift” the mayor promptly and with appropriate contempt rejected!
In short, what influence have the Saudis exerted on Fox to muzzle the issue of Obama’s birth certificate? I don’t ask this about the network TV channels or cable channels like CNN and MSNBC, which are still issuing daily hagiographies of Obama.
Required reading on thread from early this morning:
“Saudi Prince Paid for Obama’s Harvard Law Education: HRH Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin AbdulAziz Alsaud”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2445630/posts

In 1987, Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (a.k.a. Donald Warden) was solicited to raise money for Obama’s Harvard Law School education. al-Mansour is an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an outspoken enemy of Israel, and mentor to Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his cohort, Bobby Seale. At the time al-Mansour associate Percy Sutton was raising money for Obama’s education, al-Mansour was the top financial advisor to mega-billionaire Prince Alwaleed (Alwalid) bin Talal of the Saudi royal family.

Obama Had Close Ties to Top Saudi Adviser at Early Age

Percy Sutton was quite proud of Bin Talal’s involvement and said in a television interview still on YouTube that Mansour (Don Warden, a black panther founder) had been a patron of Obama’s for years, and that Mansour had contacted him to help get Barry [Obama] into Harvard. Mansour can be found on YouTube as well, acknowledging the long relationship with Obama. I believe Mansour said Barry became known to him during Barry’s Occidental [Occidental College, LA, California] days. Don Warden (Mansour) has been a paid recruiter for black nationalists since his Berkeley days. (posted on Saturday, February 06, 2010 6:49:59 AM by Freeper “Spaulding”, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2445630/posts).
Al Mansour’s connection to tuition paid for Obama:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD068xXkCZc the video proof
Sutton was Malcolm X’s attorney and a New York Assemblyman.
Warden had a radio show on California radio station KPFA. He’s done quite well financially working for Bin Talal, who attended Menlo College in CA and Univ of Syracuse in NY.
It is likely that Bill Ayers solicted the funds from Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (a.k.a. Donald Warden). In 1987, Ayers had just finished completing his M.Ed in Early Childhood Education at Bank Street College which is down the street from Columbia University in NYC.
Ayers and Obama were both in NYC from 1983-1985. Ayers was at the Bank Street College earning his Master’s degree and attending marxist political gatherings.
In “Dreams From My Father”, Obama reveals that while at Columbia [1981-1983] he “went to socialist conferences …in Brooklyn.” “Then, after transferring to Columbia University two years later, he [Obama] found that “political discussions, the kind that at Occidental had once seemed so intense and purposeful,” took on the flavor of the “socialist conferences” he sometimes attended at New York’s [Columbia’s] Coopers Union.”
1983-1984 Obama was finished his undergraduate degree in Poli Sci at Columbia Univ., worked for New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG, a Ralph Nader offshoot trying “to mobilize minority students at City College of New York about the importance of recycling”, and assisted with Percy Sutton’s election bid for New York Assemblyman.
In 1985, Obama became a consultant and instructor for the Gamaliel Foundation in Chicago, an organizing institute working throughout the Midwest. Chicago is Bill Ayers’ hometown where his father and very wealthy businessman, Tom Ayers, is well connected politically.
In 1985, Gerald (Jerry) Kellman at Calumet Community Religious Conference in Chicago receives a grant from Bill Ayers who sits on the Board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago foundation that gives grants for community organizing. The grant is for Kellman to hire a new community organizer for the organization he heads called the Developing Communities Project (DCP). Later, Ayers and Obama will serve together on the board of the Woods Fund.
1985-1988 Obama is hired by Gerald Kellman (due to a grant from Ayers at the Woods Foundation) to be the director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a leftist Alinskyite community organizing subsidiary of the Gamaliel Foundation in Chicago which has Marxist Professor and former ACLU Director John L. McKnight as board director.
Professor McKnight mentored Obama while he was at DCP in the the agitation tactics of Alinsky, who wrote the organizing manual, “Rules for Radicals,” which he dedicated to mankind’s “very first radical, Lucifer.” Under McKnight, Obama says he got the “best education I ever had, better than anything I got at Harvard Law School.” (remark in 2007 while campaigning in Iowa). “My views are not so much more refined than they were when I labored in obscurity as a community organizer,” Obama wrote in his 2006 autobiography.
In the fall of 1987, Bill Ayers and Obama both “worked” the same side of the 1987 Teacher’s Union Strike in Chicago and each attended a Tom Ayers’ (Bill’s father and financier) Chicago United “lunch meeting in a Chicago skyscraper”.
1988-1991 Obama attended Harvard Law School.

In May 2003, a video aired on Dutch public television that suggests yet another way to fix an election (among other things).

Translation of the first one minute forty seven seconds of this program is as follows:
“The war in Iraq does not seem to be over at 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.
I’d have a little more faith in the writer had he spelled Steve Doocey’s name correctly.
“Steve Ducey” - NOPE
DOOCY - LOL.
“The illegal and criminal ascension of Barack Hussein Obama, a foreigner hiding in America, exhibiting absolute servitude around the globe to those who funnelled money to him and made certain the American elections were usurped. It is all about Muslim oil money which Obama is paying off in favors.
British Obama puts Muslim terrorists in civilian courts not to offend the oil Muslims who funded his college education and illegally funded his 2008 campaign.$300 million dollars for the 2008 Obama campaign came from overseas. 2 of his main fund raisers were Pakistanis with whom he lived whilst bopping between NYC and Pakistan between 1980-83. Obama never attended Columbia, his diploma was bought by Saudi money; nobody knows him there.
Obama gained admission to Harvard from Malcolm X’s attorney who wrote a letter on his behalf from a black American Muslim being funded by the Warren Buffett of Saudi Arabian finance. 2 diplomas bought with Saudi money. Obama owes numerous terrorist sponsors and narco counterfeiting terrorists favors=blackmail.
The culprits are evident:
LIBYA got their Lockerbie Bomber released which Obama could have stopped and did not. Khadaffi calls Obama a Muslim son. Obama gave Khadaffi $2.5 million. Obama campaigned for Khadaffi-backed Odinga.
SYRIA gets an ambassador with full diplomatic rights and Boeing contracts which stunned the diplomatic community as it appears Obama did all this for “nothing”, when it was all payback.
Obama bows to the Saudi King as another clue. HAMAS: Obama negotiates with terrorists in Hamas, gives Hamas $.9 Billion, and calls Jews disgusting, and setting up a Palestinian state.
IRAN: Obama allows Iran to develop its weapons unfettered. He set up the Twitter Revolution allowing Ahmadinejad’s butchering Iranian Patriots with Twitter data. Obama tipped Iran off in French President Sarkozy, who now loathes him, outing the Persian communists in their nuclear weapons plant.
SAUDIS: Flight 253/Yemen war to benefit Saudis, GITMO shut down per Saudi instruction, why Obama is paying 1 million dollars a head to free Gitmo terrorists to island vacation retreats, why Obama is bowing to the Saudi King. 9 11 terrorists are being rubbed in the faces of New York Citizens given American rights, why he wants the rest of the Gitmo terrorists with American rights at Thomson Correctional in Illinois, Nidal Hasan was allowed to proceed to murder due to PC, CAIR being coddled…
CHINA: Obama dumps human rights of Chinese Patriots just as long as Hillary Clinton gets the Peking girls to sign the debt checks Obama is creating.
Rashid Khalidi is the face of this Muslim oil mafia which has a leash on Barack Hussein Obama.”

“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.”
I noticed that Obama manifest something about his thinking at the National Prayer Breakfast.
He made mention of 9/11 at the National Prayer Breakfast in a list of natural disasters including the Haiti Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina, and 9/11 as events which seemed to be required to return us as a nation back to where our responsibilities laid,...then merged this with the ecumenical idea that all religions require their believers to provide sacrifice for their fellow man.
What I found revealing Obama’s innermost thinking, was that while God might discipline his people where they fall away from Him, those who are far removed from faith in Christ perceive such discipline simply as natural disaster and their solution to guilt is to perform an act of charity to substitute for their judgment.
I also found it revealing that from a Muslim perspective, 9/11 may have been considered an ‘ethical’ requirement to try and force America to return to acts of sacrifice. It sure seemed from listening to Obama that he shared that perspective, listing 9/11 alongside Katrina and Haiti’s earthquake as events which force Americans, not back to God, but towards charitable sacrifice.
IMHO, it’s a very antiChristian twisted perspective promoted by those of the world, seeking to advance themselves without righteous or just accountability.

The thing is - we do not need their oil. We have our own in shale oil, coal diesel, offshore oil, nat gas out the wazoo, methane hydrate gas in Alaska, clean coal in Utah that Clinton made into a park for the indonesian Riadys because it was competition. The list goes on and on and on.
This peak oil BS is just that. Oil is there - harder to get at and the core of the earth is making new oil all the time. Two things of nature scare me - the sun blowing up or dying and the earth’s core i.e. a mega blow up of that caldera in the western states. Oh and maybe a meteor hitting earth.
It’ll be up to canadafreepress to uncover the birth certificate and they will.
The below that you highlighted is sort of shocking, but totally believable.
* A major TV talk-show host reported that he was ordered not to raise the birth certificate issue or risk losing his job.
* FCC officials threatened to yank broadcasting licenses, break up conglomerates, and make the enactment of the Fairness Doctrine “look mild” in comparison to other consequences.
* In at least one corporate TV headquarters, memos were circulated to all on-air employees not to mention the birth certificate issue, as well as other specific subjects like Obama’s Illinois lawyer’s license, his college records, etc., under both implied and explicit threats.
Murdoch is losing it by getting in bed with this scumbag.
It will haunt him some day.
US State Department passport records were breached during presidential election campaign- specific names of passport files breached were obama Mccain and hillary clinton
individual arrested for the passport data breach was employee of contractor firm “The Analysis Corporation”, a group of mostly ex-spooks, headed by John Brennan who was in 2009 appointed as obama’s top national intelligence advisor for terrorism and remains as such
The DC detective in charge of the State Department passport file theft investigation was murdered in DC by random shooting, no leads

The Prince has been a huge share holder for a long time in Fox. He also has been rumored to have funded Obama’s education at Harvard.
