JUDGE RULES 9/11 LAWSUIT AGAINST SAUDI ARABIA CAN PROCEED

A lawsuit accusing the Saudi Arabian government of complicity in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and seeking billions of dollars in damages, can go forward, a judge ruled Wednesday.

U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE GEORGE DANIELS IN MANHATTAN dismissed Saudi Arabia’s motion to dismiss the case on the grounds of lack of proof of official complicity.

But Judge Daniels said the plaintiffs — victims’ relatives and their families — can “narrowly articulate a reasonable basis for this Court to assume jurisdiction under [the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act] over Plaintiffs’ claims against Saudi Arabia.”

Judge Daniels said he would “allow Plaintiffs limited jurisdictional discovery” of evidence against Saudi Arabia.

JASTA, passed by Congress in 2016 over President Barack Obama’s veto and Saudi warnings of damage to international relations, created an exception under U.S. law to claims of sovereign immunity by foreign governments. The new law allows U.S. citizens to sue foreign governments in federal court for acts that kill Americans on U.S. soil.

James Kreindler, a lawyer for many of the plaintiffs, told Reuters news agency he was “delighted” by the judge’s letting the lawsuit go ahead.

“We have been pressing to proceed with the case and conduct discovery from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, so that the full story can come to light, and expose the Saudi role in the 9/11 attacks,” he told the British wire service.

On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 Al Qaeda terrorists — 15 of them Saudi citizens — hijacked four planes and slammed two of them into the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon. One crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, apparently ditching a planned attack on Congress because of a passenger uprising. All told, nearly 3,000 people were killed.

The 9-11 Commission absolved the Saudi government of official or direct complicity in the attacks, but said it could not rule out the possibility that “charities with significant Saudi government sponsorship diverted funds to Al-Qaeda.”

Judge Daniels did limit the plaintiffs’ case on the facts though.

He said he would allow the 9-11 families to argue that Saudi Arabia was responsible for the activities of an imam at King Fahd Mosque in California, and Omar al-Bayoumi, said to be an intelligence officer.

Mr. al-Bayoumi and imam Fahad al Thumairy purportedly helped two of the terrorists integrate into U.S. life and prepare for the attacks.

But he threw out as beyond his jurisdiction claims that two Saudi banks — National Commercial Bank and Al Rajhi Bank — and the construction company owned by the estranged family of al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, had helped finance the attacks.

BILL, HILLARY CLINTON TIED TO SEX-SLAVES 'CULT'

Court documents: Women 'required to be naked,' 'threatened with being put in cages'

It’s a bizarre and twisted tale of brainwashed sex “slaves” who were branded with a leader’s initials on their private parts – and top executives of the secretive group in upstate New York reportedly pumped thousands of dollars into Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign

Raniere, co-founder of NXIVM, was arrested Monday in Mexico and extradited to the U.S., where he is being charged with sex trafficking. He appeared in court Tuesday in Texas and signed a waiver for US Marshals to bring him back to New York.

On Tuesday, THE FBI RAIDED THE ALBANY HOME OF NANCY SALZMAN, 63, A REGISTERED NURSE AND HYPNOTIST WHO IS PRESIDENT OF NXIVM. The organization describes itself as a “community guided by humanitarian principles that seek to empower people and answer important questions about what it means to be human.” IN A SERIES OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED BY JAMES ODATO IN THE ALBANY TIMES UNION, NXIVM’S PRACTICES WERE QUESTIONED AND THE GROUP WAS COMPARED TO A CULT.

A criminal complaint charging Raniere, 57, with SEX TRAFFICKING ALLEGES that he made female followers have sex with him and do menial chores for masters. The women were reportedly forced to stay quiet about the arrangement or they would be publicly humiliated.

According to the complaint, victims were branded in their pelvic areas with a symbol featuring Raniere’s initials. The branding was performed with a cauterizing pen. Raniere was reportedly known as “The Vanguard.”

“During the branding ceremonies, slaves were required to be fully naked, and the master would order one slave to film with the other held down the slave being branded,” the legal document states, according to CBS News.

The NXIVM website describes Raniere as a “scientist, mathematician, philosopher, entrepreneur, educator, inventor and author” who has “devoted his life to studying the human psychodynamic and developing new tools for human empowerment, expression and ethics.”

Senior FBI official William Sweeney told BBC News: “KEITH RANIERE DISPLAYED A DISGUSTING ABUSE OF POWER IN HIS EFFORTS TO DENIGRATE AND MANIPULATE WOMEN HE CONSIDERED HIS SEX SLAVES. HE ALLEGEDLY PARTICIPATED IN HORRIFYING ACTS OF BRANDING AND BURNING THEM, WITH THE CO-OPERATION OF OTHER WOMEN OPERATING WITHIN THIS UNORTHODOX PYRAMID SCHEME. These serious crimes against humanity are not only shocking, but disconcerting to say the least, and we are putting an end to this torture today.”

In 2017, Raniere denied the claims against him in a letter on his website, stating, “These allegations are most disturbing to me as non-violence is one of my most important values.”

In October 2007, then-New York Post writer Charles Hurt reported that leaders of the Albany group gave thousands to Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. And Salzman, the woman whose home was reportedly raided by the FBI, is reportedly a member of the Clinton Global Initiative.

.

Hurt reported:

Executives and top associates of the Albany-based NXIVM group – along with their family members – donated $29,900 to Clinton’s presidential campaign, according to federal records.

On March 14 and April 13, records show, MORE THAN A DOZEN CONTRIBUTIONS POURED INTO CLINTON’S COFFERS FROM NXIVM, AN EXECUTIVE AND GROUP-AWARENESS TRAINING ORGANIZATION LED BY BROOKLYN-BORN KEITH RANIERE, 47.

MOST WERE FROM FIRST-TIME POLITICAL DONORS, EACH GIVING THE $2,300 MAXIMUM. …

at least three of them – group president NANCY SALZMAN and the bronfman sisters – are MEMBERS OF BILL’S CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION, THE CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE. Membership is by invitation only and requires at least a $15,000 donation per person for one year.

An Albany woman with the name of NANCY SALZMAN has also contributed nearly $1,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and $400 to the PRO-ABORTION GROUP EMILY’S LIST( → needs digging!!!)

The 2008 Clinton campaign reportedly downplayed the importance of the contributions.

“Over 100,000 people from across the country have contributed to Sen. Clinton’s campaign for change, and regardless of who supports her, she will always continue to stand up for what she feels is right,” campaign spokesman Blake Zeff told the Post at the time.

The Albany Times Union is also reporting that New York Attorney General ERIC SCHNEIDERMAN’S office is probing a nonprofit organization linked to NXIVM that allegedly CONDUCTED BRAIN-ACTIVITY AND OTHER HUMAN BEHAVIORAL STUDIES WITH NO OVERSIGHT.

The Times Union reported:

THE NONPROFIT ETHICAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION WAS FORMED IN 2007 BY CLARE E. BRONFMAN, WHO OWNS A HORSE FARM IN DELANSON AND IS LISTED IN PUBLIC RECORDS AS THE TRUSTEE AND DONOR OF THE FOUNDATION.

At the request of the attorney general’s office, a state Supreme Court justice recently signed an order directing BRONFMAN AND DR. BRANDON B. PORTER, who is involved with NXIVM and conducted the human studies, to turn over all documentation associated with the research, including any written communications, videos, conclusions, consent forms and the names and addresses of “individuals associated with ETHICAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION who participated in any manner with the studies.”

Clare Bronfman, an heiress of the Seagram Company who has called herself the operations director of NXIVM, is a repeat Clinton donor, according to FEC records.

Last October, a Vancouver woman named Jennifer Kobelt, 28, said NXIVM President Nancy Salzman recruited her for brain studies. Kobelt said she was hooked up to an EEG machine to monitor her brain activity. She claims they showed her horrifying images and videos of murder, rape and mutilation, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has also received money from Bronfman, who reportedly gave $2,400 to the New York Democrat’s 2010 special-election campaign.

“The lawmaker’s dad, Doug Rutnik, worked as an attorney for Nxivm for four months in 2004 at a rate of $25,000 per month,” reported PageSix.com.

But when Rutnik tried to quit, a source told PageSix.com, he was sued and reportedly paid back $100,000.

Also, in December, The Sun reported “Smallville” actress Allison Mack is allegedly a “master” in NXIVM.
