Corruptive manipulative influence - Fear of criticizing Arab power on the world - Dictator H. Chavez - paid, backed by Arabs & Islamic Iran - Controlling media, even in the west - Destroying world economy



How Arab Muslim Goliath corrupts controls world & media

1) Oil, no secret how European leaders, almost all UN rep. and many in the US govt. bend their policies on the fears of 'what the oil Arab might do'...

2) The fear of wild beastly Arab street in Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, as in 2005 intifadah, Cartoons-Jihad (where Muslims have threatned their 9/11 on Europe) & other rampage, shapes much of Euro politics.

3) Africa is totally under Arab SLAVE masters (psychologically).

4) Even US congress HAS to listen to the Wahabbi Saudi Goliath, Iraq war has a lot to with that.

5) The appeasement trend that is influenced by Arab Muslim terror, which that's exactly what appeasement is all about.

OIL! POWER! What If it wasn't ARAB - MUSLIM BIGOTS who suck us to the bones at the pump
 
July 2008
 
A simple question, What if it was not the Arabs, not the Muslims (OPEC) that control the world's energy?
 
What if the oil tycoons were of a different background, say Irish Catholic or Jewish?
 
Could you imagine how they would be lynched [in the media and all tools of public opinion]?
 
But it's "only" Arabs, Muslims, and they can do whatever they want, limit or extend production of oil.
 
Worst is of course the immense unlimited power they enjoy in being permitted to continue "business" as usual... in the "field" of crimes against humanity... No one ever dares speaks out against the racist Arab mass-murder of the Africans in Darfur, slavery in Mauritania, or how they continuously demonize Jews, or cries out against the mainstream Muslim media that always finds the "victimhood" among 'Palestinian' thugs or Al Qaeda in Iraq or Hezbollah's crimes on Lebanese, all to facilitate in justifying the killing of infidels mainly Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, etc., Don't think all of the above is not related, it's still about their unlimited "freedom" to oppress everyone else... no one ever dare says, acts against the Islamo Arab GOLIATH.
 
Now, you tell me who really is in control of 'world affairs'?

ARAB MUSLIM CONTROL on western MEDIA
 
Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal, chief executive of S. Arabia’s Kingdom Holding Company Control on US  (& other) media
 
Who owns CNN?
The answers might surprise you (or maybe not). Ever wonder why CNN and Time are so blatantly pro-islamic. Ever wonder why these weasels want are tooo eager to toe liberal / islamic propaganda??
A good chunk of AOL Time Warner is owned by Prince Alwaleed Ibn Talal the Saudi billionaire. It is well known that Prince AlWaleed is a front for the Saudi royal family. All of the oil money that is swindled from Aramco the Saudi oil company is "invested" by Prince Al Waleed and his company.  (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1465942/posts, http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_basketball_heat/2008/09/beasley-hurt-ea.html?cid=132826195#comment-132826195)
From the 'Saudi Online' page:
RIYADH, 12 March — Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal announced yesterday that he has spent $1 billion on stocks over the last six months, including another $500 million on Citigroup.
“Already the world’s largest shareholder in Citigroup, the prince’s shareholding in the world’s most profitable bank is now around $10 billion,” said a press release from his Kingdom Holding group.
“At about $43, Citi’s share price was at too attractive a price,” the prince said in the statement.
And he added $450 million to existing shares in AOL Time Warner. “The price was very cheap at around $23,” the prince said.
“I believe in the power of the AOL brand and I am already a shareholder in this global media giant. Therefore, when the price reached lucrative levels, we decided to increase our stake. The weakness in AOL’s stock price is temporary as it reflects the temporary weakness in several areas in which it is involved,” Alwaleed said.
He also increased his stake in priceline.com to $100 million, or 5.4 percent of the company.

Georgetown’s Capitulation to Radical Islam  
By Joe Kaufman and Jeffrey Epstein
FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, January 06, 2006
Georgetown University was built with a Catholic and Jesuit identity.  This bit of information is proudly displayed on the school’s website.  But like Bethlehem in Israel, that identity is quickly being lost to a radical strain of Islam, as a counter-terror symposium has been abandoned and a pro-terror conference has been confirmed.  Indeed, one of America’s most prestigious universities appears to be under siege.

Fearing violent reprisal from militant Muslim members of their student body, the school’s conference center rejected an educational symposium being hosted by America’s Truth Forum (formerly the People’s Truth Forum), a non-partisan, fact-based organization whose sole mission is to educate the American people on topics of national security.  In this case, the subject matter to be discussed involved the “Underlying Roots of Terrorism: The Radical Islamist Threat to World Peace and National Security.”...

While the counter-terror symposium was shunned, an organization associated with violence has been awarded a forum.  From February 17 - 19, the Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM), an activist group that has expressed its willingness to work with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, will be holding its “Fifth Annual Divestment Conference” on Georgetown University’s campus.  At past events, shouts of “Kill the Jews” and “Death to Israel” could be heard amongst the crowd.  And according to a news report, during PSM’s last conference, when a resolution to condemn terrorism was voted down, “the delegates erupted in cheers.”

When PSM announced its event, it’s interesting to see who they sent a press release to.  A site that devotes a page to the release, Palestine Monitor, is said by one source to be a “PRO-TERRORIST SITE.”  This is easy to understand, as the website contains numerous pages glorifying the Intifada (uprising) against Israel.  Another location that prominently displays the press release is Ramallah Online, a hate site that equates the Jewish Star (Star of David) with the Nazi Swastika.

Not wanting to anger its on-campus insurgency, the university has remained hush about the event.  The consideration of a small matter of money may also be on Georgetown’s mind.  The PSM conference is coming on the heels of a $20 million donation to the school, given by a fairly effluent Saudi sheikh, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.  This is the same sheikh who had previously donated $27 million to a telethon that raised money for the families of suicide bombers.

New Islamic satellite channel launched
March 8, 2006
Filed under: Newspapers — Hans Henrik Lichtenberg @ 2:24 pm
Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal, the chief executive of Saudi Arabia’s Kingdom Holding Company, has officially launched an Islamic satellite channel seeking to project Islam as a religion of moderation, the Arab News online daily reports. Al-Resalah (The Message) has been broadcasting informally since last Wednesday. At a press conference on Monday, Prince Alwaleed said the 24-hour channel would target an Arab audience, especially young people, by projecting ‘our Arab heritage through a modern medium.’. Al-Resalah will be the forerunner of a future English-language Islamic channel for Western audiences.
 
The prince said the new Islamic network would provide a platform for a dialogue on religious, social and economic issues affecting everyday life, but its priority would be to counteract the misconceptions of Islam in other societies. Tarek Alsuwaidan, the channel?s general manager, said that 40 per cent of the programmes would be youth oriented, 30 per cent would target women and families, and 10 per cent would focus on children, Arab News reports.

The Failure of Western Universities [incls. Middle East studies, MESA, Saudi funding at Georgetown and Harvard, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, John Esposito, Martin Kramer, Daniel Pipes]


Kari Vogt, historian of religion at the University of Oslo, has stated that Ibn Warraq's book "Why I am Not a Muslim" is just as irrelevant to the study of Islam as The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion are to the study of Judaism. She is widely considered as one of the leading expert on Islam in Norway, and is frequently quoted in national media on matters related to Islam and Muslim immigration. People who get most of their information from the mainstream media, which goes for the majority of the population, will thus be systematically fed biased information and half-truths about Islam from our universities, which have largely failed to uphold the ideal of free inquiry. Unfortunately, this situation is pretty similar at universities and colleges throughout the West.


London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), scene to a growing number of anti-Semitic incidents from an increasingly pro-Islamic campus, issued a threat to one of its Jewish students to cease his protests against anti-Semitism at the University. Gavin Gross, an American, had been leading a campaign against the deterioration of conditions for Jewish students at SOAS, which is part of the University of London. SOAS had witnessed an escalation of anti-Jewish activity, in both severity and frequency. At the beginning of the year, the Islamic Society screened a video which compared Judaism with Satanism.
Meanwhile, in a move to "promote understanding between Islam and the West," Saudi Arabia donated about SR13 million to a leading British museum. The officials said the money from Prince Sultan would pay for a new Saudi and Islamic gallery, which would help to portray Islamic culture and civilization in right perspectives. It would also help fund scholarships for Saudi students at Oxford University.


The Saudis and other oil-rich Arabs are busy buying influence over what Westerners hear about Islam. Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, a member of the Saudi Royal Family, is an international investor currently ranked among the ten richest persons in the world. He is known in the USA for a $10 million check he offered to New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani in October 2001 for the Twin Towers Fund. Mayor Giuliani returned the gift when he learned that the prince had called for the United States to "re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stance toward the Palestinian cause."


Prince Talal is also creating a TV channel, Al-Resalah, to target American Muslims. He already broadcasts in Saudi Arabia. In 2005, Bin Talal bought 5.46% of voting shares in News Corp, the parent of Fox News. In December 2005 he boasted to Middle East Online about his ability to change what viewers see on Fox News. Covering the riots in France that fall, Fox ran a banner saying: "Muslim riots." Bin Talal was not happy. "I picked up the phone and called Murdoch [...] [and told him] these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of poverty," he said. "Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from Muslim riots to civil riots."

Arab oil, OPEC, destructive power on global economy

Arab oil and economy

Arab oil and the global economical crisis

From the book 'Middle East Annual Review'� (1975) - Page 141 by Economist Intelligence Unit (Great Britain), Michael Field - Business & Economics: "The OPEC oil-price revolution of 1973-4 was mainly to blame for the present plight of developing countries and for the world recession". [1].

In Jun. 25, 1979 there were efforts of 'Teaming Up Against OPEC' by Jimmy Carter and the leaders of Western Europe, Canada and Japan, to prevent financial severity around the world [2].

Business week magazine March 25, 2002 Oil prices appear to be headed higher in coming months, which could strike a blow to the struggling global economy. Blame OPEC, which is expected to leave its output unchanged [3].

In May 2007, The U.S. House of Representatives acted on what's been known for years: OPEC's price-fixing conspiracy, it voted to allow the government to sue the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries for price manipulation (OPEC), With average U.S. pump prices at an all-time, inflation-adjusted high of $3.22 a gallon, the House voted 345-72 to approve the "No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act of 2007," or "NOPEC.", The bill would revoke the sovereign immunity OPEC members currently enjoy from U.S. legal action and allow the Justice Department to sue them in U.S. courts. [4].

Jim Jubak in Sep. 18, 2007 blamed OPEC for higher oil prices and said: heading off an economic slowdown has been a fundamental part of OPEC policy[5].

Manraaj Singh Editor Profit Hunter: 'Arab Oil Wealth To Dwarf US Economy!' [Apr 29, 2008] [6].

Walid Phares (Oct, 2008): 'OPEC manufactured the financial meltdown' [7] and asks: 'OPEC War against America�s Economic Independence?' [8].

Notorios businessman Donald Trump Blasted Oil Prices and OPEC July 30th, 2008 �Oil (costs) is what is killing the world�s economy,� Observers say if the U. S. would rattle its own domestic oil supply saber it would shock the market and costs would plummet. Oil experts say the U. S. could be free of Middle East imports in less than 3 years. [9], he blasted major oil producing countries for the current recession and accuses large oil companies of "doing a major number" on everyone. [10], it�s the price of oil that is to blame, OPEC and the Saudi Arabians [11], on Feb. 4, 2009: "As far as the economy is concerned, I'm afraid that if and when the economy does get going, you'll have OPEC raise its ugly head and come out and just raise oil prices again and kill it, because I think that OPEC had a lot to do with the failing of the world economy." [12].

CIBC economist: 'Oil price runup to blame for global economic turmoil' (November 03, 2008) [13].

US president Barack Obama in his speech on February 24, 2009 said: The fact is, our economy did not fall into decline overnight. Nor did all of our problems begin when the housing market collapsed or the stock market sank. We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy. Yet we import more oil today than ever before. [14].
