“Obama & the Saudi Prince”
Barack Obama has a deep routed connection to Saudi Arabian Prince, Al-waleed Bin Talal via Dr. Khalid Al Mansour who in 1988 wrote a letter to Percy Sutton as a request to leverage his Harvard pals to accept Barrack to the esteemed University.
At the time, Donald Warden a.k.a. Dr. Khalid Al Mansour was a financial advisor to Alwaleed Bin Talal. Dr. Khalid Al Mansour began to consort with Alwaleed Bin Talal in the 1970s. Quickly Dr. Khalid Al Mansour became a lawyer for King Saud during this time.
Dr. Khalid Al Mansour had previously helped Huey Newton and Bobby Seale establish the Black Panther Party. He was well known as a Black-Nationalist and supported the spread of Wahhabism in the west.
The Obama/Alwaleed relationship grows even more intriguing as we enter Obama’s tenure as POTUS. Wikileaks would eventually reveal that Citigroup, while under control of Bin Talal had a significant influence on the Obama administration cabinet picks.
According to an RT report:
The revelation came from a hack of the email account of John Podesta, a chair of Obama’s 2008 Transition Team. They show that Obama gave executives of Citigroup an “outsized role in shaping and staffing his first term.”
In an email dated from October 18, 2008, Michael Froman, who is now the US trade representative, used his official Citigroup email address of fromanm@citi.com, to send the following email to Obama advisers:
“Attached is the latest version of the Agency Review teams. It is a closely held document, so please treat it with the same sensitivity as ours. If you all could take a quick look at the lists for the agencies in your area, that would be helpful. I think the hope is that, while there are no guarantees, some of the people on these lists make their way into the agencies ultimately. Our role, therefore, is to check whether there is much overlap between the names here and the names were seeing/generating for sub-cabinet positions in each agency….”
In an earlier email, dated October 6, a month before the election, Froman provided Podesta with “Lists” attaching three documents: a list of women for top administration jobs, a list of non-white candidates, and a sample outline of 31 cabinet-level positions and who would fill them.
“The lists will continue to grow,” Froman wrote to Podesta, “but these are the names to date that seem to be coming up as recommended by various sources for senior levels jobs.”
The cabinet list ended up more or less as advised.
In addition, the Obama banking bailout handed Citigroup $45 billion in loans, which it inevitably paid back $20 billion later in 2009 after controversy led to the Government selling their stake in the bank.
