Center for American Progress, a Soros Propaganda Hit Machine, Fires Staffers for Leaks About UAE Influence

11

This is no surprise. The Center for American Progress (CAP) has long been at war with the defenders of freedom. It is the producer of the notorious report on “islamofauxbia,” “Fear, Inc.,” which risibly claimed that distrust of Muslims in the U.S. was not because of jihad attacks, Islamic supremacism, stealth jihad, creeping Sharia, and all the rest, but because of “islamophobia.” It presented itself as an exposé of the large amounts of money that “islamophobes” were supposedly taking in. However, CAP at that time received $25 million every year, and no doubt gets much more now — much more than all of the “islamophobic” groups it defamed and smeared put together. And now it comes out that the CAP is getting massive amounts of money from the United Arab Emirates. Leftists allying with jihadists is nothing new, and here is the money trail.

“Center for American Progress Fires Staffers for Leaks About UAE Influence,” by Robert Kraychik, Breitbart, January 17, 2019 (thanks to Christian):

The Intercept reported on Wednesday that the Center for American Progress (CAP) — a left-wing think tank founded by Clinton and Obama administration alumnus John Podesta in 2003 — fired two staffers suspected of leaking information related to the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) influence over CAP’s operations.

The UAE is one of CAP’s primary donors, with CAP listing the Gulf state’s embassy as having donated between $500,000 and $999,999 in 2017.

CAP’s internal investigation of leaks followed The Intercept’s publication of a report in December examining left-wing groups’ — including CAP’s — responses to legislative efforts to end U.S. military support for Saudi Arabia in Yemen’s ongoing civil war.

The two fired staffers were reportedly investigated by CAP for leaking an internal email exchange to The Intercept. The email exchange related how CAP would publicly respond to the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi Arabian officials in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.

With the UAE as a close ally of Saudi Arabia, CAP experienced perplexity in considering its response to Khashoggi’s death at the hands of Saudi Arabian officials.

The Intercept explains some of the UAE-CAP financial relationship:

[Brian Katulis, CAP’s Gulf expert] is close with the UAE’s ambassador in Washington, Yousef Al Otaiba, who is the go-between for Emirati money flowing into Washington. Otaiba also played a key role in elevating Mohammed bin Salman to his position as crown prince of Saudi Arabia, using his considerable influence within the American foreign policy establishment to make the case for bin Salman’s moderation and reform-minded approach to government.

Katulis is CAP’s link to Otaiba. As The Intercept has previously reported, Katulis worked with the diplomat to help organize UAE-sponsored trips to the wealthy Gulf country for American think tank experts, according to emails purloined from Otaiba’s Hotmail inbox. They were released to the media by a group called Global Leaks amid a row between the UAE and its neighborhood rival Qatar. According to the emails, Katulis has also given Otaiba advice on how to lobby the Trump administration on issues relating to Egypt….

• CAP should be prosecuted for it’s film “Islamophobia. Fear inc.” for abetting slavery of Africans, torture of atheists, forcible declitorization & more through misleading propaganda.
• Bin Salman is not just, nor an altenative nor an option.
• Parallel to the murder of Kashoggi in Turkey a murder occured in Saudi Arabia of a whistleblower on Saudi human rights violations.
He was was hunted down by the UAE-Twitter administration, tortured & killed in Saudi Arabia.
• Saudi Arabia owns the biggest stake of Twitter.
• Today Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed in Saudi Arabia & enslaved in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, Iraq, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks (see Wikiislam).
• We need to dominate in justice with a global focus & abolish Muhammadist tyrannies & incitement to the unjust Muhammad-law, war & tyranny.

There is allot of infighting among Muslim countries. Turkey hates Saudi Arabia. Qatar hates Saudi Arabia.
Each wants to dominate and be more powerful than the other. ALL of them are evil. Pick your poison!

Why isn’t soros being investigated? He is a very dangerous man. He donates money to free and
democratic countries in order to stifle freedom and democracy.
He is the reason Europe has been invaded by jihadis (muslim terrorists) that causes mayhem
and misery wherever they exist.
We can also see the influence he wields here in the United states. We already have two muslims in
our Government that tries to minimize the rights of certain people, due to their racism against
those groups. It has NO place in our country.
