Leading sponsor of terror Qatar is arguably the preeminent financier of jihad terror in the world today. It is a benefactor of the genocidal armies of ISIS, al Qaeda, and Boko Haram; it is involved in Taliban narcotics trafficking through a relationship with the Pakistani National Logistics Cell; and profits from operating a virtual slave state. Qatar is involved in terror operations from Nigeria to Gaza to Syria to Iraq. And now they’re spending millions to change President Trump’s mind and bring him around to be their dupe, as other Presidents have been. It is likely that they will find that this President is stronger than others on whom they have tried their high-priced taqiyya.
“The New Lobbying: Qatar Targeted 250 Trump ‘Influencers’ to Change U.S. Policy,” by Julie Bykowicz, Wall Street Journal, August 29, 2018:
Longtime New York restaurateur Joey Allaham visited Manhattan’s Park East Synagogue late last year with an offer for lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Come visit Doha, the capital of Qatar, by invitation of the emir.

Mr. Dershowitz says he hadn’t met Mr. Allaham before and initially demurred before agreeing to go. The professor also didn’t know he was on a list of 250 people Mr. Allaham says he and his lobbying-business partner, Nick Muzin, identified as influential in President Trump’s orbit.
The list was part of a new type of lobbying campaign Qatar adopted after Mr. Trump sided with its Persian Gulf neighbors who had imposed a blockade on the tiny nation. Qatar wanted to restore good relations with the U.S., Mr. Allaham says. Win over Mr. Trump’s influencers, the thinking went, and the president would follow.
“We want to create a campaign,” Mr. Allaham says he told Qatari officials in his business pitch soon after the blockade, “where we are getting into his head as much as possible.”…
Qatar spent $16.3 million on lobbying in 2017 in the U.S., the year of the blockade, up from $4.2 million the year before, according to its federal filings on payments to registered foreign agents. As of June 2018, the country was directly employing 23 lobbying firms, up from seven in 2016, its filings show.
It spent some of that on lobbyists with ties to Mr. Trump and paid others to ply the halls of Congress—a typical approach aimed at pressing lawmakers and top administration officials….

So sad…Alan Dershowitz knows better. He’s all over the place on issues. He is vulnerable to being bought off.

Qatar gets its money to cause this terrorist mischief principally from hydro carbons – seize them.
Will the other Gulf states mind, what do you think ? Will Britain stop you ? Come on, we can’t defend our own fishermen. Teaser Mays hissy fit ? Go back to sleep.
This family gang of Trojan horses smile at us with venom behind their teeth while hiding korans, grenades and guns in their jim jams. When they buy property in London, they buy influence with politicians and Mosques too.
IF any of us are “in this to win it” we better start as we mean to go on and that means dropping what’s failed and replacing that with assertiveness. It’s time to think “above the cloud base” people, blue sky and all that, cut the diagonals.
The strange thing about humans is this, when faced with demonstrations of supreme confidence, other lesser types freeze and stare.

It’s tough for the muslums to buy off Trump w/petrodollars because he’s already wealthy and doesn’t need their money, but I wouldn’t be surprised if muslum states like Turkey and the UAE haven’t threatened Trump’s substantial real estate holdings in those muslum pig’s anus states.

Only an enemy of the people would even consider allowing an islamic ANYTHING in our country, let alone allow them to openly infiltrate our politics and lobby our politicians with bribes of middle eastern riches.

Trump just outsmarted the Hildebeast/mobama/demorat cabal and got elected President. Countless hundreds, if not thousands of people were involved in trying to defeat Trump. Does this guy really think he can do any better?
