>Report shows that Salafists, Mubaraks, not April 6 Youth Movement, receive millions in foreign funding

(Investigating accusations that youth movements have foreign agendas due to foreign funding, the Egyptian ministry of justice reports a Salafist organisation received almost $50 million in one year from the Gulf)

You guys really don't want to dig on the IRI?

The articles cited in >>7985975 establish that the IRI is another money laundering NGO supporting terrorism in Africa, Ukraine and Lithuania. It receives money from the Feds and is referred to as a working partner with its Democratic counterpart institute, as well as USAID and C_A.

>>7985964 has a quick laundry list of known and now suspect shady Republicans, as well as some international players tied up in the current Ukraine scandal.

Ties in to another dig last week on Ray LaHood, whose son was picked up in Egypt in 2012 spreading money for the Arab Spring initiative, and later convicted. He was an IRI front-man, too.

Worth the eyes on. Only time I'm gonna say it. Going to bed.
