Its hardly been a secret to those who paid attention that some Saudis, including some highly placed ones, have funded and fanned the flames of Wahhabism, the ultra-conservative form of Islam throughout the world. Perhaps it was out of religious belief, but just as likely it was to keep the ruling families in power and the extremists from attacking them. If so, it may now prove to have been an unwise strategy.
The role of Saudis in the 9/11 attack on the U.S. has hardly been completely hidden: 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis, trained in Wahhabi schools. More than that, there is evidence that Saudi officials in the U.S. aided and abetted them once they were here [snip]
Families of those murdered on 9/11 have been trying to get redress through litigation from the Saudi royal family, Saudi banks, and Saudi charities, but have been stymied in part because of 1976 law that grants immunity to foreign nations in U.S. courts. Theres an effort in Congress to change that, to deny such immunity to nations that have been culpable for terrorist attacks, which kill Americans on American soil. It is probably no coincidence that as this legislation is being considered, CBS "60 Minutes" aired a feature on the efforts to declassify the 28 redacted pages of an investigative Congressional report written in 2003 that documents the Saudi support for the 9/11 hijackers.
While these damning 28 pages were redacted, they are accessible to Congress members, and persons who have served on the committee itself have revealed in general terms their content. Senator Bob Graham, who co-chaired the Committee, indicates the report, outlines a network of people that supported the hijackers while they were on the West Coast and helped them to enroll in flight school.

Hillary's 2014 income sources (selection)
Kuwait America Foundation (Spouse) $175,000
Tanmiah Commercial Group (Spouse) Riyadh, Saudi Arabia $300,000
Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative (AGEDI) (Spouse)
Abu Dhabi, UAE $500,000
===========================================
The Clinton Foundation took $1,250,000 (that we know of)
from Mideast kingdom--Qatar---(recently exposed as embroiled in FIFA bribery).
The Clinton presidential library in Arkansas lists Brunei, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar as donors that gave between $1 million and $5 million (at the time of research).
The Clinton foundation itself confirmed the 2002 Brunei donation: "The Clinton Foundation's impact would not be possible without the generous support of our donors," the foundation's website reads. "Their contributions have made a difference in the lives of tens of millions across the world." Read more at foxnews.com ...
==============================================
Qatar became the new home of the Gitmo Five via the infamous Bergdahl swap.
==================================================
Hillary later told Fox's Greta Van Susteren that Qatar was "not a threat to the US." Hillary never mentioned Qatar subsidizing the Clinton Library/Foundation.
Hillary's remarks lead some to believe the donation was a payoff....Hillary bribed to defend Qatar....blatantly ignoring America's ntl security interests.
=====================================================
The Clinton Library bills itself as "linking the significance of
a 20th century American presidency with the ongoing
and far-reaching work of The Clinton Global Foundation."
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
No mention of Clinton being impeached and disbarred for lying.
====================================================
REALITY CHECK Despite its grandiose self-promotion, The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park---- is just another "Clinton Cash" snake pit.....subsidized by taxpayers,....and some shady foreign characters.
We now have plenty of oil.
We now have plenty of oil.
The thing you need to ask yourself....since the day that the 28 page was issued....with Bush and his entire staff on the inside and aware of the complications....they did nothing. Upon arriving at the White House....President Obama and staff did nothing. From day one when finalized with the report....these Saudis indicated in the report....what have they done since? Did they funnel money and help to ISIS? Did they organize and help terrorist efforts in Europe?
If the answer is yes to these questions...I think Bush and Obama need to be brought up to some war-crimes commission. I also question what political figures (senators and representatives) are hindering the release of this report, and if they’ve gotten campaign funds....then they need to resign and go home.
LOL......could be.
“What’s the first story it sits on look like, a South Chicago whorehouse ?”
Interesting, because if you look carefully the architect sneaked in a giant “M” to stand for Monica!
“Interesting, because if you look carefully the architect sneaked in a giant M to stand for Monica!”
Actually, looking closer, the architect sneaked in a giant “ML” to stand for Monica Lewinsky. Look and you will see it.
M and ML—I was so focused on the “trailer trash” theme that I missed that.
That is great subversive architecture.
The slimy Saudis threaten us, pulling out their puny financial card. The US should ban all American companies from doing business with Saudi Arabia, declare a total boycott, and send all the Saudis in the US back to their hell-hole country.
We are energy independent and do not need to import the low-grade sludge from the Middle East when our WTI, a much better grade of oil, is sitting in train cars and tankers because of our surplus production.
These despicable liars would be herding in the desert, as their families were before the Brits gave them their phony royal titles.
BS...... balderdasious drivel
Actually, look at what Liz posted above: “The Clinton Library bills itself as ‘linking the significance of a 20th century American presidency with the ongoing and ar-reaching work of The Clinton Global Foundation.’”
When you see the Monica Lewinsky initials so clearly and prominently incorporated into the architecture, that statement has a much deeper and more accurate truth than intended.
How Americans stand for hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into our election process from foreign entities.
Un-freaking-believable.
I like that the Bill Clinton Library resembles a single-wide.
Trump is exactly right! The Saudis charge us rent to protect them and don’t compensate us for their defense
Just part of a bigger problem
NATO countries have not paid their agreed share in their respective GDP’s for a very long time. They are supposed to pay 2% and the US is supposed to pay 4%. We pay fully to keep that NATO boat afloat, the NATO countries pay around 1% or under half what they are supposed to pay. Britain is one of the worst offenders in skipping on their payments. .
This is like having a dead beat Dad paying $200 of his required $400 month after month in child support. And Americans need to fully comprehend that NATO nations are using us like some rich uncle to subsidize their own economies.
I am tired of it; of course, these NATO nations hate Trump to saying what he has said. They want to stay feeding off the Money Tree called America.
In my view, NATO pays their fair share or we leave. The USSR no longer exists.
Why were ANY effing pages redacted?????
And it has only taken 14.5 years so far.
It’s way past time for the Saudis comeuppance and their recent threat should be shoved up their behinds.
Thanks for the ping, tried to get on earlier to no avail, glad FR is back up.
