THAT the Holy Land Foundation, under investigation since 1993, may have been able to keep raising money for terrorism before its assets were frozen this week because it was repped by the best-connected law firm in Washington, Vernon Jordan's Akin Gump.

Is it true Clinton turned down the chance to get Osama? All those people in New York could still be alive today if Clinton had acted when begged to take Osama. Could money have had something to do with it?

I do not have a cached copy. I was not doing this for research (as in to prepare anything)... I was simply searching the net, reading some articles, and sharing snippets.

WOW:

OK, let's see. Vermin J. consults with Clinton hours before Clinton orders the aspirin factory to be blown up. Then Vermin reps the owner of the aspirin factory in his lawsuit against USA so he gets, what was it? 20M$ from US? How much of that do you suppose Vermin got?

And now we got Vermin making sure that the scum who blew up the towers were able to get their funding from USA for the last 8 years! Do you suppose it was all just another one of those plentiful Clintonian bureaucratic SNAFUs, or is it possible Vermin and clinton knew exactly what they were doing the whole time? I guess it depends on how stupid and incompetent you believe these guy are...

In looking for a little more detail, I found this link which provides a fairly detailed story on Salah Idris and Akin Gump.

Note that the above link is a google cached copy of this which is posted at an Islamic site, with page title
ARABIA in the MEDIA
Produced by MIRA
Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia
19/7/99 – 25/7/99
(Full Internet Copy)

I provided the link to the cached copy in case somebody does not want to visit such a site.

The Palestenian people that I have known in the US are mostly Christian and well educated. How is it that this organization managed to have all moslem leadersship? The answer is easy, because they have terrorists involvement!

Thanks for the pings, Landru and sonofliberty2.

Funny you should mention this....

I have been receiving 'briefings' through the mail for months now regarding the HFL from an organization of which I am a member, and I have been sharing them with (as many) people (as) I know (who are open-minded enough to lend a listening ear). Many of them have scratched their heads and asked, 'Why would this group continue to be allowed to raise money here for (literal or figurative) export to terrorist organizations?'

People who would ask such a question are (sadly) naive regarding the behind-the-scenes machinations that have been a part of global power-plays that have been expertly, and covertly, planned and (successfully, for the most part) executed for decades.

America and Israel are the two stumbling blocks which have stood in the way of the realization of the agenda; so, not coincidentally, America and Israel have found themselves in the crosshairs for decades. And the incessant pot shots have taken their toll.

The Holy Land Foundation (Isn't it refreshing the way so many malevolent organizations choose to label themselves with sanctimonious/altruistic titles? It's only befitting the scurrilous, two-faced, evil nature of the people who comprise their 'membership,' I suppose....) embraces aims which are anything but holy. And the normally altruistic bent lent to the term 'foundation' hardly applies here.

Among other atrocities, the HLF, and its sister organization, the IAP (Islamic Association for Palestine), have used significant monies raised in order to distribute 'monthly stipends' to surviving families of Hamas suicide bombers (the suicide bombers, interestingly enough, called 'martyrs' in HLF literature. A condoning -- at the very least -- of their manner of death, perhaps?).

The HLF, or course, claims that this distribution is simply a non-ideologically-based charitable gesture, which might just as likely have been awarded to non-Hamas widows and orphans. [Presumably, they have not yet gotten around to making the non-Hamas survivor distributions. Will any of us be holding our collective breaths awaiting that particular event?]

To add insult to injury, most of the money raised for this purpose was raised in the good old USA.

Remember the Twin Towers (even if only subliminally)....

IMH(personal)O: The HLF is an extreme anti-Semitic, anti-American, radical pro-Hamas, pro-terrorism organization. And the fact that, until now, it (1) has been allowed to thrive (with main headquarters in New Jersey, Texas, Illinois and California), and (2) is represented by Akin Gump, a firm whose DC lawyers have tentacle-like connections with big names in both political parties, and whose partners include well-known influence peddlers from many of our own federally-funded agencies (the EEOC and the IRS among them) is not something that any informed American should consider unusual. Disturbing perhaps, but hardly unusual.

Tell us something we don't already know (or at least suspect)....
