Trump Accused Of “Sports Washing” Saudi Arabia’s Complicity In 9/11 Attacks

Terry Strada, the National Chair of 9/11 Families United On MSNBC’s Alex Witt Reports(07/30/22)

MSNBC’s Liz McLaughlin reported on Alex Witt Reports show(07/30/22) that outraged families of the victims of the September 11th attacks(2001) are protesting the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Tournament currently being held at former President Trump’s Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey. The protesters are essentially accusing former President Trump and the participating golfers, of “sports washing” Saudi Arabia’s role in the horrific 9/11 attacks, and their atrocious human rights record generally.

Asked by host Alex Witt, how the families were responding to the tournament, Liz McLaughlin responded (video at 0:31):“The families say they are disgusted, disappointed, that it feels like a gut punch after losing a loved one in that horrible act, to see a former President of the United States, who by the way, has the presidential seal emblazoned on golf carts, embroidered in golf towels at this tournament, which is less than 50 miles from ground zero, to have him take what they call blood money. LIV is bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, investing an estimated 2 billion in LIV Golf so far, and this new pro golf circuit is set to try to dethrone the PGA, but it has come with a lot of controversy, and Trump is set to host another one of these, later in the year.”

Trump has defended his actions saying, “nobody has gotten to the bottom of 9/11 unfortunately, and they should have”–essentially arguing that it’s unfair/inaccurate to place the 9/11 blame on Saudi Arabia. He also added that all the proceeds from the golf tournament will be going to charity, so he was not profiting from it.

As Liz McLaughlin correctly pointed out however, even though the U.S. government has never singled out Saudi Arabia as the masterminds of the 9/11 attacks, it is a fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were from the Kingdom, and the mastermind of the attacks, Osama bin Laden, was also born there. It has also been established that a lot of the funding for bin Laden’s Al Qaeda terrorist network, came from Saudi nationals. So any reasonable person would suspect that the Saudis were behind the 9/11 attacks. And even if one gives Saudi Arabia a pass over 9/11, it is impossible to ignore the Kingdom’s atrocious human rights record, which includes the brutal murder of American journalist Jamal Khashoggi. 

Terry Strada, the National Chair of 9/11 Families United, slammed Trump’s assertion that nobody has gotten to the bottom of the 9/11 attacks, telling host Alex Witt(3:02): “He sounds foolish saying anything like that. He met with the families. He met with me in the White House and we went there for the sole purpose of asking him to declassify FBI documents that were the investigative reports into this…so he sounds completely foolish when he says that nobody has looked into it. We asked him to look into it. It was his job as President to look into it. He failed us miserably back then.”

Bottom line folks, the pundits on Fox News recently made a big deal out of President Biden’s fist bump with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman(MBS) on his official visit to Saudi Arabia. It will be interesting to see if the same pundits also make a big deal out of former President Trump’s “sports washing” of Saudi’s atrocious human rights record and involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

Kushner Accused Of Selling U.S. Intel To The Saudis

Investigative journalist Vicky Ward appeared on MSNBC Reports(04/16/22) where she dropped a mega bombshell, telling host Alex Witt that Jared Kushner, while working at the White House, shared top secret U.S. intelligence with then Deputy Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman(MBS), which enabled MBS to undermine his cousin who was then Crown Prince, and take over his position. In other words, it is Kushner’s top secret intel that made MBS the Crown Prince. Vicky Ward says the recent $2 billion Saudi investment into Kushner’s private equity firm, is basically payback from MBS for the top secret U.S. Intel which enabled him to get rid of his cousin and become Saudi’s Crown Prince.

Vicky Ward specifically told host Alex Witt(video at 1:10): “Jared Kushner has no track record as an investor. Zero. He was in the real estate business before going into the White House, and as I wrote in Kushner Inc, he wasn’t very good at it. Also as I reported in Kushner Inc, it appears that much of his foreign policy was orchestrated for the benefit of the family real estate business which was in trouble. Why now has MBS given his fund with no track record, $2 billion to invest? Well last night, I broke news on my substack newsletter Vicky Ward Investigates, saying that basically Jared Kushner, according to three very well placed sources with direct knowledge, handed over to MBS and his father, American intelligence suggesting that a cousin of MBS, who has long had the support of Washington, who is considered a hero by the CIA, even given a medal, was thinking of sticking up his hand and deposing the king. This was the man who was the Crown Prince at the time. Jared Kushner basically handed the Saudis this information thereby giving Mohamed bin Salman the opportunity to get rid of his rival, knee cap him. This man has not been heard of since 2020. So basically, Jared Kushner gave information that was supposed to belong to the Americans to the Saudis thereby giving Mohamed bin Salman his job as the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.”

There’s no other way to interpret Vicky Ward’s remarks on MSNBC other than, Jared Kushner, who had access to top level U.S. intelligence due to his White House job, knew that MBS’ cousin who at that time was Saudi’s Crown Prince, and favored by the CIA, had plans to depose the Saudi King. Kushner leaked this top secret U.S. intel to Mohamed bin Salman(MBS) and his father, allowing MBS to get rid of his ambitious cousin, who has mysteriously disappeared since 2020, and is quite possibly dead. Basically Kushner gave intel to MBS, which allowed him to become the Saudi Crown Prince, and now MBS is rewarding him with a $2 billion investment. Kushner basically sold top secret U.S. intel to the Saudis. Vicky Ward went on to add that this was the reason Kushner never got a top secret security clearance from the CIA for his White House job. This, if verified, is mega bombshell news that deserves much more scrutiny than the Hunter Biden story.

Bottom line folks, as Yours Truly has been screaming since March 2019, Kushner selling top secret U.S. intel is a BFD that needs to be thoroughly investigated. It is infinitely, a much bigger story that the Hunter Biden story, especially given the amount of money involved.

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo Slams Case Against Her Staffers As “Flimsy, Unsubstantiated”

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo appeared on Houston’s ABC13 TV station (04/14/22), where she slammed the recent criminal indictments of three of her top staffers for corruption. The allegation which led to the indictments, is that Judge Hidalgo’s office funneled an $11 million COVID contract to her pal, despite other more qualified bidders. She totally denies these allegations, and dismissed the subsequent indictments of her top staffers, telling ABC13’s Steve Campion that this was a “flimsy, unsubstantiated case”.

You’ll remember Yours Truly recently wondered aloud as to why the criminal prosecution of these three senior Hidalgo staffers was playing out during the thick and thin of her reelection campaign? It’s a troubling question that at some point, will need to be addressed.

Judge Hidalgo specifically told ABC13’s Steve Campion: “I think it’s a very flimsy unsubstantiated case…At best this is going forward with a fundamental misunderstanding of the facts and at worst, it’s the weaponization of the criminal justice system for political purposes, so I’m not going to play into that. My staffers are hardworking people. They work day and night for the people of Harris County.”

Asked whether she’s worried about being indicted, Judge Hidalgo responded, “No. I mean look, I don’t know how far this is going to go, and it’s very easy if you present one side of facts to a grand jury, everybody knows a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich if that’s all they see, right?..I’m not scared, I’m not losing any sleep over this. Whatever happens I’m ready for it. I’m tough, I’m battle-tested, this is just politics, and you know we’ll face it, we’ll keep working, but I think it’s clear the community sees through this, and I’ve got work to do.”

There’s no other way to interpret Judge Hidalgo’s remarks on ABC13 other than, she considers the corruption allegations not only meritless, but also more importantly, part of a well orchestrated political attack masquerading as a criminal prosecution. Her “weaponization of the criminal justice system for political purposes” statement says it all.

Bottom line folks, Judge Hidalgo is absolutely correct. It is impossible to ignore the deep political undertones, given the close proximity of this “criminal prosecution” to the date she is scheduled to face voters at the polls(November). I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the Harris County District Attorney is a Democrat.
