Nader, Erik Prince, Broidy, FDD, Otaiba, UAE

The Board of Directors of the Ron Lauder, Elliott Broidy affiliated Secure America Now (SAN) that worked on the 2016 Trump campaign, included John Bolton and Mike Huckabee.
Dick Morris, who has worked for Bill Clinton, advised Huckabee on his campaigns in 1993, 1994, and 1998. Mike Huckabee’s daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was President Donald's White House Press Secretary for 2 years.
In January 2018, Huckabee praised Doha, Qatar as "surprisingly beautiful, modern, and hospitable". Mike Huckabee forgot to mention that Qatar had paid him $50,000 as an "honorarium".


Nader was an adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan of Abu Dhabi (MBZ, of the UAE) for years.
See the gay paedophile George Nader pictured with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.


George Nader has also worked as a business agent in Iraq for the private military contractor Blackwater, owned by Erik Prince (the brother of Donald’s Education Secretary Betsy DeVos).
Since Erik Prince arranged the meeting between Joel Zamel, Nader and Trump’s team on 3 August 2016, George Nader frequently met Jared Kushner, Mike Flynn and Steve Bannon.
Nader and Prince were also discussing a plan to get $2 billion from the Saudis for a private army to fight against Yemen.

After Trump was elected president, Nader paid Zamel a large sum of money, $2 million.
After Donald’s inauguration, Zamel and Nader met Kushner and Bannon at the White House, supposedly promoting a plan to sabotage Iran. Nader advocated this project to American, Emirati and Saudi officials, estimated at a cost of about $300 million.

Zamel has also worked for the Emirati royal court as a consultant.
In December 2016, Nader again hired an internet company linked to Zamel — WhiteKnight, based in the Philippines.

According to insiders, Nader visited Moscow at least twice during the presidential campaign as an emissary from Crown Prince MBZ.
Joel Zamel also has ties to Russia. One of his firms has worked for Russian oligarchs like Oleg V. Deripaska and Dmitry Rybolovlev: http://web.archive.org/web/2020020321273...zamel.html


The following AP story on Nader and Broidy is obviously an attempt to whitewash Tom Barrack (who raised more than $7 billion since Donald became the Republican nominee for president) and United Arab Emirates Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba, but it certainly looks like a genuine “bombshell”...

From 2006 to 2008, Elliott Broidy was finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.
In 2009, Broidy pleaded guilty, of looting $18 million from a New York state pension fund, after bribing state officials with almost $1 million. In 2012, Broidy’s conviction was degraded to a misdemeanour after he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and pay back the $18 million to the state.
Broidy supposedly had an affair with Playboy Playmate Shera Bechard, who got pregnant and later had an abortion and paid her $1.6 million to keep quiet, arranged by Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
Then Broidy himself spoke about the affair! It has been rumoured that it was really Donald Trump that had an affair with Shera Bechard...

Broidy and met for the first time at Trump’s inauguration and within weeks were working for the UAE and Saudi Arabia to orchestrate a campaign against Qatar, so they would be rewarded with millions of dollars in defence deals from the 2 wealthy gulf states.
Broidy and Nader “forgot” to register even though those countries were listed as “clients” for the lobbying campaign of Broidy’s Circinus LLC.

After Broidy claimed credit for pushing their agenda in the Trump White House, he collected the first $36 million for an intelligence contract with the UAE.

On 7 February 2017, Broidy wrote to a staffer of the House Foreign Affairs Committee about a bill aimed at sanctioning Qatar.
In a March 2017 document, Broidy and Nader proposed a budget of more than $12 million to “expose and penalize” Qatar and to get the US to “aid in coercive action against Iran”.

Elliott Broidy has boasted of his influence over Trump’s Cabinet, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin (of Skull & Bones) in particular.
Broidy wrote to Nader about pushing for pushing for sanctions against Qatar:

Mnuchin is a close friend of mine (my wife and I are attending Sec. Mnuchin’s wedding in Washington D.C. on June 24th) and I can help in educating Sec. Mnuchin on the importance of the Treasury Department putting many Qatari individuals and organizations on the applicable sanctions lists.

Broidy also bragged that he made the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ed Royce, back an anti-Qatar bill and had “caused” Royce to praise Saudi general Ahmed Hassan Mohammad Assiri, which was memorialised in the Congressional Record.

After Broidy donated $189,000 to the RNC on 30 November, George Nader was allowed to be photographed backstage with president Donald.


Broidy wrote Nader that the Sheldon Adelson financed Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), could stage an anti-Qatar conference and that 200 anti-Qatar articles could be published through the FDD and other “think tanks”.
On 21 April 2017, Broidy sent Nader the draft of an Op-Ed; three days later, “The Two Faces of Qatar, a Dubious Mideast Ally” was published in Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal, co-written by retired Air Force Gen. Charles Wald, who called for moving US military assets from the al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar to the United Arab Emirates.
Leaked emails show that Charles Wald was a member of Broidy’s Circinus team that was pitching contracts in Saudi Arabia.

In June 2017, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and regional allies launched a travel and trade embargo against Qatar.
One day after the beginning of the blockade, Trump sent a series of tweets in support of the blockade against Qatar by Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Saudi Arabia has since distanced itself from Nader and Broidy.
Days after Broidy met president Donald, the UAE awarded Broidy an intelligence contract worth up to $600 million in 5 years: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/...cted2.html

On 26 May 2018, Elliott Broidy sued Ahmed Al-Rumaihi, accusing him of leaking his emails (that made the previous expose by AP possible) to damage his reputation over his wheeling and dealing with the UAE (and the Saudis) and the Trump White House.

In another one of those strange coincidences, legendary gangsta rapper Ice Cube also sued Al-Rumaihi over not keeping up their deal on financing a pro-basketball league. Ice Cube’s business partner Jeff Kwatinetz, is also a friend of Steve Bannon: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/201...ling-says/

On 3 June 2017, emails from United Arab Emirates ( UAE) envoy Yousef al-Otaiba were released by GlobalLeaks. Otaiba has “almost constant phone and email contact” with President Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner. The two first met this June at the behest of Thomas Barrack, another billionaire and backer of Trump.
In 2000, Otaiba became the director of international affairs for Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan (MBZ), the crown prince of Abu Dhabi.
Otaiba also emailed with Robert Gates, former defence secretary for Barack Obama. Gates is also associated with Mohammed bin Zayed.

Yousef al-Otaiba has repeatedly discussed the strategy towards Iran with the CEO of the FDD, Mark Dubowitz.
Part of the leaked mails, is the agenda for an 11-14 June 2017 meeting between the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) and UAE government officials. As attendees for the FDD are listed: Mark Dubowitz, John Hannah, and Jonathan Schanzer. UAE officials also requested the attendance of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed. The agenda includes a discussion on Qatar, and in particular"Al Jazeera as an instrument of regional instability": https://assets.documentcloud.org/documen...9/FDD2.pdf

See the following excerpts from the document, the first image is a mail announcing a discussion on Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood on 23 May 2017.


The second and third are about the “assessment of Qatar’s troubling regional role” on 11-15 June 2017.


The FDD is financed by none other than Sheldon Adelson: https://theintercept.com/2017/06/03/hack...inst-iran/


See Mohammed bin Zayed (centre) with Republican senators Bob Corker, Mitch McConnell (husband of Trump’s Transport Secretary Elaine Chao), John McCain, and Democratic senators Ben Cardin and Jack Reed.


Then on 14 June 2017, the president of the FDD, Clifford D. May, published the following...
FDD Senior Fellow David Weinberg, had this to say about the leaked mails:

The emails were cherry-picked and given to tendentious media outlets in an attempt to embarrass the ambassador and critics of Qatar.

May claims that Qatar:

extends its hospitality to the Taliban, provides refuge to Hamas leaders, takes a tolerant attitude toward al Qaeda financiers, enjoys cordial relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, supports the Muslim Brotherhood and, via al Jazeera, its media outlet, spreads Islamist propaganda.
(…)
In April, according to sources cited by the Financial Times, Qatar paid as much as $1 billion to Iran and al Qaeda, ostensibly to secure the release of members of the royal family and their companions who were kidnapped while hunting in Iraq. In May, the Saudi press reported that Qatar’s foreign minister met with Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s top terrorist master.

May refers to the 23 May conference, which was attended by 1) Robert Gates, who served as Secretary of Defense and Director of Central Intelligence; 2) Ed Royce, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee; and 3) Jake Sullivan, former national security advisor to Vice President Joe Biden: http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit...ultimatum/
