GULFTAINER Awarded 35-Year Cargo Container Terminal Lease At Florida’s Port Canaveral In Secretly-Negotiated 2014 PROJECT PELICAN Deal While Kerry Was Obama’s Secretary of State; GULFTAINER In Deals With Putin, Club-K Container Missile System Exporter ROSTEC / ROSOBORONEXPORT; FBI Director Wray Should Be Investigating GULFTAINER, Not Attending Davos With GULFTAINER
By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | January 21, 2023
Badr Jafar, Chairman of the Executive Board of GULFTAINER and CEO of Crescent Enterprises, whose uncle, the notorious rogue Iraqi nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, was Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, appeared on stage sitting beside John Kerry, Biden’s U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and Obama’s former US Secretary of State, at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2023 in Davos Switzerland.
The Pentagon placed Dr. Jafar Dhia on U.S. Central Command’s Operation Iraqi Freedom Blacklist of senior Saddam Hussein regime officials wanted by coalition forces for capture or kill.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar is the brother and business partner of GULFTAINER co-owner Hamid Dhia Jafar. Both Jafar brothers were born in Iraq.
Badr Jafar and John Kerry both appeared on stage during a January 17, 2023 event called Philanthropy: A Catalyst for Protecting Our Planet, Davos 2023 World Economic Forum. Badr Jafar was seated adjacent to Kerry while Kerry, the event’s featured speaker, spoke from the podium. Jafar, who was one of several panelists, subsequently spoke during the panel discussion segment of the event.
The Jafar brothers’ bloodlines reportedly tie them to Iranian royalty,
According to late American attorney Northcutt Ely, Hamid Jafar’s Shiite family is one-time Iranian royalty — part of the family that ruled over Iran from 1785-1925. Hamid’s mother was the granddaughter of Ahmad Shah Qajar, the last ruling member of the Turkic Qajar Dynasty. Hamid‘s father was “fortieth in direct line of Succession from the Prophet.”
Ely travelled to Tehran with Hamid Jafar, whom he considered his “Arab son.”
FBI Director Christopher Wray also attended the 2023 Davos meeting.
The Obama-Biden Administration approved and oversaw GULFTAINER’s 2014 operation to acquire a 35-year no-bid cargo container terminal concession at Florida’s Port Canaveral, which was secretly-negotiated under the code-name PROJECT PELICAN. The Obama-Biden Administration refused to conduct the mandated CFIUS National Security Threat Analysis of GULFTAINER’s PROJECT PELICAN deal.
John Kerry was Obama’s Secretary of State during GULFTAINER’s PROJECT PELICAN deal to take over cargo container operations at Port Canaveral.

During the January 2014 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, attended by Crescent Enterprises CEO Badr Jafar, Crescent Group Vice-Chairman Majid Jafar, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, and Secretary Lew, Badr Jafar coyly smirked as he bragged to a CNBC reporter that Crescent’s Gulftainer would soon be “owning and operating” a port “on the East Coast of America.”
Following the Davos conference, it would be another six months before the American people and members of Congress learned via media reports about Project Pelican.
Secretary Lew traveled to the UAE to meet with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Sheik Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, as well as other UAE military officials, on June 16, 2014, seven days before the official Project Pelican announcement and signing ceremony. When an Al Arabiya reporter asked Secretary Lew which Foreign Direct Investment in the United States sectors he discussed during his meeting with UAE officials, Secretary Lew’s immediate reply was “infrastructure,real estate, and security.”
We also previously reported at The American Report in our December 4, 2021 article titled “GULFTAINER And The Great Reset: Klaus Schwab And Badr Jafar Celebrate COVID-19 ‘Post Pandemic World’ And ‘Sea Change’ After Capitalism; Iraq’s Dr. Jafar And ‘Dr. Germ’ Developed Virus Bioweapons”:
For a guy whose company loads and unloads intermodal shipping containers at seaports in places like Iraq and Saudi Arabia, GULFTAINER Executive Board Chairman Badr Jafar of the Iraqi Jafar family certainly has an interesting circle of family members and associates, including Barack Obama’s Pakistani college friend Wahid Hamid, Vladimir Putin, Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates. Badr Jafar also visited the Obama Whitehouse in 2014, according to official White House visitor logs. Later that same year, the Obama Administration, in a secretly-negotiated deal code-named PROJECT PELICAN, awarded GULFTAINER with approval of a 35-year intermodal cargo container terminal lease at Florida’s Port Canaveral, adjacent to U.S. Navy Trident submarines and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
Badr’s uncle Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar was Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons mastermind and oversaw procurement operations for Iraq’s chemical and biological warfare programs.
Badr Jafar’s father Hamid Dhia Jafar plotted to finance Saddam’s and Dr. Jafar’s nuclear, chemical, and biological WMD programs in a scheme known as ‘Oil-for-Superweapons.’ Hamid Dhia Jafar and GULFTAINER affiliate Crescent Petroleum were under investigation by the U.S. Treasury Department and three U.S. Congressional Committees for the Oil-for-Superweapons scandal and to determine if Crescent Petroleum was a Saddam Hussein front company.
Badr Jafar served on the board of directors of now-collapsed Middle Eastern private equity group The Abraaj Group. Badr’s father Hamid Dhia Jafar was a founding shareholder of The Abraaj Group.
Barack Hussein Obama’s Pakistani foreign student friend Wahid Hamid, who like Obama was an Occidental College student, was a Managing Partner of The Abraaj Group. Barack Obama and Wahid Hamid travelled together during Obama’s mysterious 1981 trip to Pakistan.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation invested in a health care fund at The Abraaj Group, where Badr Jafar served on the board of directors. After forensic accountants discovered that money invested by the Gates Foundation into the Abraaj Group health care fund was unaccounted for, The Abraaj Group collapsed and went into liquidation.
While attending the 2014 Davos World Economic Forum, Badr Jafar announced that GULFTAINER would “own and operate a port on the East Coast of America.” Klaus Schwab is the Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum.
Badr Jafar recently interviewed both Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab on Jafar’s webcast and podcast “The Business of Philanthropy with Badr Jafar.”
Badr Jafar is a business associate of both Vladimir Putin and Obama’s life-long Pakistani friend Wahid Hamid. Badr Jafar and Vladimir Putin signed a joint venture agreement between GULFTAINER and Russian state-owned military-industrial conglomerate ROSTEC. ROSTEC owns 100 percent of ROSOBORONEXPORT, the exporter of Russia’s Club-K Container Missile System.
In 2011, Badr Jafar and Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey launched the Middle East Theatre Academy to discover young Middle Eastern actors. Kevin Spacey was subsequently accused of sexual abusing multiple boys and young men.

Pennsylvania Democrat Governor Tom Wolf is in talks with Delaware Democrat Governor John Carney about ways in which the Port of Wilmington, currently controlled by the near-bankrupt and heavily-in debt GT USA Wilmington LLC, “could partner with its longtime rival in Philadelphia,” the Port of Philadelphia, according to a November 15, 2022 report from Wilmington newspaper The News Journal, titled “Delaware governor says he discussed ways to partner, not compete, with Philadelphia port.”
GT USA Wilmington LLC is a subsidiary of the Middle-Eastern-based seaports and container terminal management company GULFTAINER.
GULFTAINER is co-owned by the brother and business partner of Saddam Hussein’s notorious nuclear mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, a nefarious, rogue Iraqi WMD scientist whom the Pentagon placed on U.S. Central Command’s secret Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) Blacklist.
The Pentagon wanted Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar for capture or kill.
Coalition Forces were authorized to militarily engage nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, Iraq’s nuclear bomb mastermind, should he resist capture.
The GULFTAINER National Security Nightmare Launched By Obama And Biden Was Extremely Dangerous; Now It’s Even Worse: The Port of Philadelphia Is Located Only 89 Miles From 9/11 Target New York City
U.S. adversary Russia would no doubt love to take control of the cargo container terminals at the Port of New York and New Jersey, the busiest seaport in the United States, measured by cargo volume, as of August 2022.
But Russia would probably settle for the next-best Northeastern U.S. seaport, the Port of Philadelphia. After all, Philadelphia is located only 89 miles from New York City, the primary target of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.
The Port of Philadelphia is designated as a National Port Readiness Network (NPRN) Commercial Strategic Seaport. “The National Port Readiness Network (NPRN) is a cooperative designed to ensure readiness of commercial ports to support force deployment during contingencies and other national defense emergencies,” according to the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration.
“The Strategic Seaport Program, or SSP … provides America’s armed forces with a reserve seaport capacity to handle any sudden, large increases in the need to move military assets during a national emergency or surge deployment,” according to the U.S. Army.
“Ports in Philadelphia, PA, Charleston, South Carolina, Jacksonville, Florida and Beaumont, Texas play major logistics roles, loading cargo to supply American troops in war zones,” according to The Marine Express. “These have been the top four ports for supplying our troops with ocean-borne cargo over the past fifteen years.”

The U.S. Navy stores decommissioned surface warships at the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility (NISMF) at the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, commonly known as the Navy Yard.
Russia likes to operate in the shadows, so the seaports management company that Russia would likely turn to in order to get into the Port of Philadelphia, near The Big Apple, is GULFTAINER.
GULFTAINER was founded by an Iraqi family loyal to Saddam Hussein, is headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, and has many connections to Russia, the Soviet Union, and former senior KGB agents.
GULFTAINER joined forces with Russian military-industrial conglomerate ROSTEC to create a half billion dollar joint venture called Gulftainer Russian Technologies. ROSTEC Exports Russia’s Trojan Horse Club-K Container Missile System through ROSTEC’s wholly-owned subsidiary ROSOBORONEXPORT.
This latest Democrat-hatched scheme would severely undermine U.S. national security.
This will fulfill the military objective of America’s adversaries: to secure additional” long-term access “inside the wire” at strategic U.S. seaports.
Expanding GULFTAINER’s U.S. seaport footprint beyond Florida’s Port Canaveral and Delaware’s Port of Wilmington, and into a new major metropolitan target, Pennsylvania’s Port of Philadelphia, would make not only make World Economic Forum Founder and CEO Klaus Schwab proud, but also Henry Kissinger, and George Soros, the number one funder of the Democrats.
Agreements between competitors to assign or allocate customers to divide territories or to not solicit or hire the others’ employees are almost always illegal. Only the terms and conditions of the deal will expose the legality of the agreement. On its face, expanding to another territory for a counterparty that has not performed and is in financial arrears begs the question as to what is actually going on.
The Wolf-Carney talks in which the fellow democrats are floating the disastrous idea of expanding GULFTAINER’s footprint across the busy Northeastern U.S. seaports corridor along the Delaware River, alarmingly close to New York City and Washington DC, is especially dangerous now, as Russia’s war in Ukraine along NATO’s border pushes the world’s superpowers ever closer toward escalation into World War III.
According to the World Bank’s IFC, GULFTAINER is co-owned by Sheikh Sultan Al-Qassimi, the Ruler of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and Hamid Dhia Jafar.
Hamid Dhia Jafar is an Iraqi oil magnate and former Saddam Hussein loyalist who secretly plotted to finance Iraq’s WMD programs. Notorious Russian arms trader Viktor Bout, who supplied weapons to the Taliban and other terrorists, operated out of Sharjah’s airport, controlled by Hamid Dhia Jafar’s GULFTAINER partner Al-Qassimi.
Hamid Dhia Jafar’s brother and business partner, Iraqi nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, served as Saddam Hussein’s nuclear mastermind and is widely recognized as the principal architect of Iraq’s clandestine nuclear weapons program. The Pentagon placed Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar on U.S. Central Command’s secret Operation Iraqi Freedom blacklist of Saddam regime officials wanted for capture or kill.
GULFTAINER and Russian state-owned defense conglomerate ROSTEC entered into a 2010 joint venture called GULFTAINER Russian Technologies. Vladimir Putin personally attended the signing ceremony during which Hamid Dhia Jafar’s son Badr Jafar, a GULFTAINER executive, signed the Middle ports management company’s joint venture with Russia.
ROSOBORONEXPORT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROSTEC, exports Russia’s Club-K Container Missile System, a Trojan Horse weapons system that looks nearly identical to the intermodal shipping containers routinely handled at the Port of Wilmington and the Port of Philadelphia.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, using U.S. Department of Transportation Recovery Act TIGER grants to set the table for GULFTAINER’s takeover of two U.S. strategic seaports, bypassed the mandated Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) national security threat analysis and allowed GULFTAINER to build a container terminal at Florida’s Port Canaveral.
Shockingly, or perhaps not, the Obama-Biden administration welcomed the Iraqi Jafar family’s GULFTAINER with open arms at Florida’s Port Canaveral, where Gulftainer built a container terminal 1000 feet from U.S. Navy submarines armed with Trident nuclear missiles, adjacent to Canaveral Air Force Station, and within sight of NASA’s Kennedy Space Station.
GULFTAINER was subsequently able to piggyback off of the Obama-Biden Administration’s approval of the Port Canaveral deal to obtain a 50-year lease to Delaware’s entire Port of Wilmington.
The gatekeeper to CFIUS during GULFTAINER’s Port Canaveral deal (secretly negotiated under the code-name Project Pelican), was CFIUS staff chairman Aimen Nabi Mir. Mir was the two-time president of the youth wing of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
CFIUS staff chair Aimen Mir’s father Dr. Ghulam Nabi Mir is an Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) founders committee member. ISNA was named by the United States government as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terrorism funding trial.
President Trump slapped sanctions on Club-K exporter ROSOBORONEXPORT on April 6, 2020, the same day that Delaware’s state-owned Diamond State Port Corporations’ board voted to award GULFTAINER with a 50-year lease to manage the entire Port of Wilmington.
When U.S. Representative Dan Donovan (R-NY) heard about GULFTAINER and Project Pelican, he sponsored bill H.R. 7213, The “Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 2018,” which amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to establish within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office.
We previously reported that “President Trump signed H.R. 7213, the “Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 2018” into law on December 21, 2018, in an Oval Office ceremony attended by Representative Donovan and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, among others.”
Governor Wolf “Initiated” The Conversation, Governor Carney Says
“A month after bankruptcy experts took control of the Port of Wilmington’s private operator, the governors of Delaware and Pennsylvania spoke by phone about ways in which the financially distressed facility could partner with its longtime rival in Philadelphia “as opposed to competing all of the time,” according to the News Journal report.
Governor Carney stated that “the conversation … occurred about two weeks ago and was initiated by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf,” according to the paper.
“Such a proposal to incorporate Wilmington into a larger regional system of ports along the Delaware River has been floated and discussed internally among Port of Philadelphia officials in recent months, according to a source with direct knowledge of the conversations,” the paper noted.
Governor Wolf’s 2014 gubernatorial campaign received support from the Communist Party USA, a detail that makes Wolf’s overtures toward the Port of Wilmington, controlled by Russia’s partner GULFTAINER, all the more concerning.
According to a September 1, 2014 Communist Party USA (CPUSA) article titled “Communist Party USA in action: What we do,” “Some of our members are working with their unions; others are active with Working America and involved in the campaign to defeat Tom Corbett and elect Democrat Tom Wolf.”
GTUSA owes its creditors, “a group led by AIG,” $100 million according to The News Journal.

Amid Vladimir Putin’s Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian ally Iran is close to receiving a new and improved Iran nuclear deal that would lift sanctions against Iran.
“Indirect talks between Iran and the United States on reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal are close to reaching an agreement, the chief British and French envoys said on Friday as they and their German colleague flew home to brief ministers,” Reuters reported on March 4, 2022.
The removal of sanctions would allow Iran to resume funding its tyranical theocratic regime and its global terror operations by selling oil to Europe and the United States.
Russia, like Iran, views Iraq as part of Iran. Russia and its Middle Eastern proxy Iran have taken control of Iraq’s oil resources, filling the vacuum created when the U.S. military and U.S. petroleum interests pulled out of the region.
Obama handed Russia a foothold in the Middle East they never before held before, just as Obama did when he let Putin and Russia take Crimea without any consequences.
Given the U.S.’s broad scaling-down of its on-the-ground operations in the Middle East over the past five years, a specific function of which is ExxonMobil’s intention to sell its stake in Iraq’s supergiant West Qurna 1 oil field, China and Russia have been busy in occupying the spaces left by the U.S…
…Russia has long regarded Iraq – both north and south – just as Iran does: that is, as being an integral part of Iran, to all intents and purposes controlled where it counts by Tehran via its vast network of financial, political, and military proxies…
…the Kremlin was quick to ensure that Tehran applied pressure on Iraq to allow Moscow to effectively gain complete control over the huge oil and gas assets in Iraq’s northern semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan
Russia And Putin’s Business Partners The Iraqi Jafar Family, Owners Of Gulftainer And Crescent Petroleum, Are Connected To Iran And Barack Obama And Supported By Obama And Biden
Russia’s plan to take over the Middle East was put into action years ago by KGB legend Yevgeny Primakov.
Primakov was a close associate of Saddam Hussein who was Mikhail Gorbachev’s special envoy to Iraq. Primakov also served as Director of the KGB First Chief Directorate, Director of the USSR Central Intelligence Service, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Prime Minister of Russia.
Primakov and Russian intelligence services worked closely with Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, brother and business partner of Gulftainer co-owner Hamid Dhia Jafar.
Spymaster Primakov, also known as the ‘Bear in the Desert,” directed all of the KGB/SVR’s foreign intelligence operations for several years after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.
Virtually single-handedly, Primakov ran Russia’s interests in the Arab World via the KGB’s Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS), the SVR, which Primakov established and directed. Among other things, Primakov was CIA mole Aldrich Ames’ handler.
Ferociously antisemitic and fluent in Arabic, Primakov clandestinely created Russia’s Islamic Bloc of terror-sponsoring Middle Eastern regimes: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Sudan.
Barack Obama’s Administration approved Gulftainer’s 35-year cargo container terminal lease at Florida’s Port Canaveral and declined to conduct the mandated CFIUS National Security Threat Assessment of the deal. The Iraqi Jafar family has connections to both the Iranian regime and to Barack Obama’s college friend, an international student from Pakistan named Wahid Hamid.
Joe Biden has taken aggressive steps to shut down U.S. domestic petroleum production. Biden also shut down construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, leading to the loss of high-paying American jobs. Biden is stopping the U.S. oil supply and the media is covering for him.
According to sources, the United States has more oil in the ground than the entire Middle East combined.
Biden’s use of American taxpayer dollars to fund the Iraqi Jafar family’s Pearl Petroleum project is breathtaking.
Although Putin has drawn condemnation from the West for his invasion of Iran and alleged wide-spread war crimes, it remains a strong possibility that Putin will hold onto power while Iran emerges from sanctions as the result of a new Iran nuclear deal.
Not only has the Biden Administration refused to cut off U.S. purchases of Russian oil, it is also pushing for a new Iran nuclear deal that would reestablish Iran’s ability to sell oil to the U.S. and Europe.
Obama and Biden put in place a never-before seen influence by Iran and Russia over Europe and NATO.
Many are wondering, as the world is being turned upside down and inside out by global communists playing for the New World Order, who the enemy really is.
U.S. President Barack Obama was caught on a hot mic saying to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this can be solved, but it is important for him to give me space. This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.”
Medvedev replied. “I will transmit this information to Vladimir [Putin].”
Obama’s “flexibility” has had, and will continue to have, dire consequences.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve who served on active duty in Iraq as a JAG lawyer with SEAL Team One, faces remnants of Saddam Hussein’s brutal regime and Iraq’s WMD programs right at home in America’s Sunshine State.
GULFTAINER, the Middle Eastern company that operates the intermodal cargo container terminal at Florida’s Port Canaveral, is co-owned by Hamid Dhia Jafar, the brother and business partner of notorious Iraqi nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar (a.k.a. Abou Timmen), Saddam Hussein’s prized nuclear weapons mastermind.
Governor DeSantis may have left Iraq and returned to Florida after fighting with SEAL Team One in Fallujah and Anbar Province during the toughest years of Operation Iraqi Freedom, but Iraq followed Commander DeSantis home.
U.S. Navy officer Ron DeSantis served on active duty as a JAG lawyer with SEAL Team One in Iraq
Powerful remnants of Saddam’s Iraqi regime came ashore in Florida and set up operations inside the wire at Port Canaveral, thanks to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
GULFTAINER’s Port Canaveral container terminal presents Governor DeSantis with a national security nightmare that originates in the streets and palaces of Baghdad, Iraq and inside Saddam Hussein’s secret weapons of mass destruction production facilities that were hidden throughout Iraq, Syria, and even the Sudan.
Some of the U.S. military’s most sensitive naval, military sealift logistics, missile, air and space defense operations are conducted inside and around strategic seaport Port Canaveral. This unique facility is the crown jewel of U.S. critical infrastructure and part of America’s legendary space program. Of course, Obama and Biden knew this when they brought in Saddam’s guys.
GULFTAINER’s Port Canaveral container terminal is located adjacent to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, a U.S. Navy Trident submarine turning basin, and within sight of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
GULFTAINER And Russia’s Trojan Horse CLUB-K Container Missile Launching System
Prior to “winning” a no-bid 35-year container terminal lease at Port Canaveral, GULFTAINER entered a joint venture with Russia’s ROSTEC/ROSOBORONEXPORT, the exporter of Russia’s Trojan Horse CLUB-K Container Missile Launching System.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbUU_9bOcnM
President Trump slapped sanctions on Russia’s state-owned weapons exporter ROSOBORONEXPORT in 2018.
The half billion dollar Gulftainer / ROSTEC / ROSOBORONEXPORT joint venture was called Gulftainer Russian Technologies.
The Club-K launches four Russian Kalibr cruise missiles capable of delivering nuclear, EMP, chemical, and biological payloads at supersonic speed.
Once inside the continental United States, Club-K ‘containers’ can launch Russian cruise missiles from ships, trucks and trains, thereby evading U.S. missile defense systems that are designed to detect launches originating outside the United States. The Club-K can be controlled remotely via satellite communications and has a reported operational life of ten years.
It was not simply a coincidence that GULFTAINER ended up beside U.S. Navy Trident submarines that are armed with nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles.
GULFTAINER initially attempted to buy their way into the Port of Jacksonville (JAXPORT) with a $250 million under the table payment to become the port’s secret, silent partner.
The Port of Jacksonville is but a stone’s throw from Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, home to the U.S. Navy’s Atlantic Fleet of ballistic missile nuclear submarines that carry nuclear-armed Trident missiles. Those Trident missile submarines comprise the third, and most critical, leg of the nuclear triad of ICBM silos, strategic bombers, and submarines that serves as a deterrent to U.S. adversaries, including Russia and China. Jacksonville is also home to Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport.
“Gulftainer is owned by two shareholders, HH [His Highness] Sheikh Sultan Al Qassimi, the Ruler of Sharjah and Mr. Hamid Dhia Jafar,” according to World Bank International Finance Corporation (IFC) documents first uncovered in 2016 by The American Report.
The Pentagon placed Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar on U.S. Central Command’s Operation Iraqi Freedom Blacklist of Saddam Hussein regime senior officials wanted for capture or kill.
“Saddam officially oversaw the nuclear weapons program of the IAEC [Iraq Atomic Energy Commission] until 1989 when Dr. Jaffar Dhia Jaffar assumed the head of the nuclear weapon development program,” according to the National Intelligence Estimate, “Iraq’s Continuing Programs for Weapons of Mass Destruction,” dated October 1, 2002 and declassified in redacted form by the Central Intelligence Agency on December 14, 2018, under President Donald Trump.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar designed Iraq’s miniaturized nuclear weapon known as ‘Beach Ball.’
Rogue Iraqi nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, who spearheaded Saddam Hussein’s secret nuclear weapons program from the early 1970s until 2003, had military command authority over Iraq’s Unit 999 and Iraq’s nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare programs…
…U.S. Army Colonel Patrick Lang (Ret.), former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Director of Human Intelligence and Director of Middle East Analysis, concluded that Hussain Hashem Al-Hussaini, identified by Jayna Davis as the ‘third terrorist,’ ‘John Doe No. 2’ in the April 19, 1995 terror strike on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, was recruited into the Iraqi DGMI Special Operation Group Unit 999 from Iraq’s feared Republican Guard.
Defense and intelligence analysts concurred with Colonel Lang.
Governor DeSantis Has Offered Florida’s Seaports As A Solution To Biden’s Supply Chain Crisis And The Container Ship Backlog Currently Clogging Up Seaports Along The U.S. West Coast
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at the Port of Jacksonville
Governor DeSantis is attempting to step in and block the Biden administration’s efforts to further cripple the U.S. economy by dismantling America’s supply chain.
Joe Biden’s purposeful supply chain crisis has left a backlog of around 170 container ships waiting to unload their cargo at California’s Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach.
Governor DeSantis has offered Florida’s seaports as a solution to the container ship backlog currently clogging up seaports along the U.S. West Coast. Container ships originating in Asia can sail to Florida by way of the Panama Canal.
Governor DeSantis announced on Friday, October 15, 2021:
We look at what is happening with some of these supply chain issues that can’t get into California.
Florida — we want people coming in here. Bring your goods here. We will get it done. We will cut the red tape. We are not going to be held up by that, so we are going to work with our ports to make sure people understand that.
“There are 15 ports in the state of Florida. Eight of them are capable of handling containers,” Florida Ports Council Chairman Jonathan Daniels stated.
The Florida seaports that are capable of handling containers include the Port of Jacksonville (JAXPORT), the Port of Miami, Port Everglades, Port Tampa Bay, Port Panama City, and Port Canaveral.
According to the former Chief of the National Security Division of the Department of Homeland Security’s New York City office Dr. Joseph F. King, less than one tenth of one percent of intermodal containers entering U.S. ports of entry are hand-checked, increasing the likelihood that Club-K missile launchers could be smuggled through U.S. seaports among the millions of commercial containers that enter the United States annually.
Glen Winn, an aviation and port security expert previously with the U.S. Secret Service, told Mary Fanning that “while we may not be able to check every cargo container coming into the country without bringing global commerce to a standstill, it is imperative that the lessees to America’s ports receive the proper National Security Threat Analysis. That is the point at which you maintain your national security.” There is no possibility that this was merely an oversight by the Obama-Biden administration. Placing GULFTAINER inside Port Canaveral was part of Obama’s monstrously evil transformation of America.
It could not have escaped the Obama administration’s notice that an Iraqi nuclear mastermind’s voice was recorded on the secret ‘Saddam Tapes’ — the same audio tapes on which Saddam Hus sein and his senior cabinet members mused about detonating a nuclear bomb in Washington D.C. Dr. Jafar was a senior member of Saddam’s cabinet.
GULFTAINER has a special penchant for positioning the family’s seaports company GULFTAINER adjacent to strategic U.S. Navy submarine bases and other U.S. national security assets. Where was America’s national security establishment while all of this was happening? How could they have ignored such a dire threat?
Following Joe Biden’s Afghanistan surrender debacle, there is little doubt that Barack Obama and Joe Biden are in the business of assisting and arming America’s adversaries, including Middle Eastern terrorists.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s brother Hamid Dhia Jafar is now overseeing a cargo container operation on the ground in the very state Governor DeSantis must defend — and defend it he must.
The U.S. Treasury Department and three U.S. Congressional committees investigated Hamid Dhia Jafar, his Gulftainer affiliate Crescent Petroleum, and Hamid Jafar’s ‘Oil-For-Superweapons’ scheme to illegally sell Iraqi oil to fund Saddam’s and Dr. Jafar’s WMD programs. The Iraqi WMD programs under investigation included Dr. Jafar’s uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons programs. The U.S. government also investigated Crescent Petroleum to determine if it was a Saddam Hussein front company.
Gulftainer’s sister company Crescent Petroleum, also owned by Hamid Dhia Jafar, maintains an office on Africa Expressway in Tehran.
Hamid Dhia Jafar, through Gulftainer affiliate Crescent Investments, was a founding shareholder of the now-defunct Middle Eastern private equity firm The Abraaj Group. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also invested in The Abraaj Group.
Pakistani businessman Arif Naqvi, former CEO of The Abraaj Group, was arrested on fraud and conspiracy charges at London Heathrow Airport in April 2019 upon request of the Trump administration. Naqvi is fighting extradition to the United States. The Abraaj Group collapsed in 2018.
Wahid Hamid, an Occidental College foreign student from Pakistan who knew Obama during college and joined Obama on his mysterious 1981 trip to Pakistan, was a managing partner at The Abraaj Group.
There are no coincidences.
Obama’s lifelong personal connection to Hamid Dhia Jafar’s Abraaj Group business associate Wahid Hamid is particularly interesting in light of the Obama administration’s decision to decline to conduct the mandated CFIUS review and National Security Threat Analysis of GULFTAINER’s Port Canaveral deal. That deal was secretly negotiated under a code-name: Project Pelican.
Hunter Biden Tried To Turn Over Louisiana’s Proposed Monkey Island LNG Port To Chinese Intelligence And The Chinese Army
By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | November 2, 2020
Hunter Biden’s proposed Monkey Island, Louisiana liquified-natural-gas (LNG) port deal with communist China that Hunter Biden brokered was not the only shady U.S. strategic infrastructure seaport deal that the Bidens implemented with adversarial foreign front companies.
Image from the official website of the proposed Monkey Island LNG project
No amount of “plausible deniability” can cover for the fact that the Bidens are compromised by Red China and deeply involved in handing over U.S. strategic seaports to shadowy foreign front companies operating on behalf of America’s most lethal adversaries, the governments of Russia and China.
Joe Biden used Department of Transportation TIGER GRANTS to set the table for GULFTAINER, a foreign company linked to Russia, China, Iran, the former Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein and Saddam’s Iraqi WMDs, to take over shipping container terminals at two U.S. strategic seaports, one in Florida and another in Delaware.
GULFTAINER, a Middle Eastern-based seaports operator, received no-bid leases at Florida’s Port Canaveral (35 years) and Delaware’s Port of Wilmington (50 years) after those ports received infrastructure upgrades that GULFTAINER (a.k.a. GT USA) needed to operate. These port infrastructure upgrades were paid for with millions of dollars in Obama-Biden Stimulus infrastructure grants known as TIGER GRANTS (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery Grants).
The Obama/Biden administration installed a CFIUS (Committee of Foreign Investment in the United States) ‘gatekeeper’ to ensure that GULFTAINER and their secretly-negotiated U.S. port deals were never subjected to the required CFIUS national security reviews and the required National Security Threat Analysis that involves all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies. Those security reviews were bypassed. The National Security Threat Analysis never happened. Those 17 U.S. intelligence agencies were never notified by CFIUS staff at the U.S. Treasury department that GULFTAINER was attempting to take over container terminals at strategic U.S. seaports. Or, these CFIUS staff members, whom the Obama administration had installed, were complicit.
Biden’s TIGER GRANTS Awarded To Port Canaveral And Port Of Wilmington Before GULFTAINER Won No-Bid Leases To Port Canaveral And Port Of Wilmington; GULFTAINER Owner Is Brother/Business Partner Of Saddam Hussein’s Nuclear Mastermind
GULFTAINER, the beneficiary of those Obama-Biden TIGER GRANT stimulus dollars, is owned by the United Arab Emirates government and Iraq-born oil oligarch Hamid Dhia Jafar, the brother and business partner of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar.
The Pentagon placed Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar on the Operation Iraqi Freedom CENTCOM ‘BLACKLIST’ of senior Saddam Hussein regime leaders wanted for capture or kill by U.S. and Coalition military forces.
GULFTAINER owner Hamid Dhia Jafar had previously been under investigation by the U.S. Treasury Department and three U.S. congressional committees for his ‘Oil-For-Superweapons’ scheme to sell Iraqi oil to fund Saddam and Dr. Jafar’s WMD programs, including nuclear weapons development and uranium enrichment operations.
Dr. Jafar also oversaw Iraqi chemical and biological warfare programs alongside Hamid Jafar’s ‘Oil-For-Superweapons’ co-conspirator Lt. Gen. Dr. Amir Al-Saadi, the father of Iraq’s chemical warfare program. Dr. Al-Saadi and Barack Obama’s Iraq billionaire patron Nadhmi Auchi were named in a 2018 lawsuit as co-conspirators in the 1988 Halabja chemical weapons genocide.
By weaponizing federal TIGER infrastructure grants, Vice President Joe Biden helped U.S. adversaries. While telling American workers that the TIGER grants were creating American jobs, Joe Biden was actually paving the way for foreign seaports operators such as GULFTAINER to take over U.S. ports. Biden ‘privatized’ America’s critical infrastructure ports through back-room no-bid deals that rolled out the red carpet for the foreign operators and compromised the national security of the United States.
By upgrading America’s critical infrastructure ports in the years and months leading up to the foreign takeover of those very same ports, Joe Biden set America up for potential “unrestricted warfare” attacks that could be exponentially more devastating than the September 11, 2001 attacks. Americans made their wishes known back in 2006 during the Dubai Ports World debacle by rejecting the idea of a Middle Eastern company operating American ports.
Within that same timeframe, just before GULFTAINER initiated secret negotiations, code-named ‘Project Pelican,’ for Port Canaveral cargo container operations, Russia announced that it had acquired a new weapon, the Trojan Horse Club-K Container Missile System. In the aftermath of Russia’s Club-K announcement, GULFTAINER entered into a joint venture with state-owned ROSTEC/ROSOBORONEXPORT, Russia’s exporter of the Club-K.
During this same time period, GULFTAINER became a part-owner of Russia’s Port of Ust Luga, one of twelve Russian ports authorized to handle nuclear materials. ROSOBORONEXPORT has recently used the Port of Ust Luga to ship Russian missiles to China.
On the same day that Delaware officials with Diamond State Port Corporation voted to lease the Port of Wilmington to GULFTAINER, President Trump imposed sanctions on ROSOBORONEXPORT.
The Club-K is a Russian cruise missile launching system that looks identical to a standard commercial intermodal shipping container. The Club-K launches Russian Kalibr cruise missiles that can deliver nuclear, EMP, chemical, biological, and conventional payloads. The Club-K’s missiles achieve supersonic speed during the terminal phase of travel toward their targets and can destroy an aircraft carrier from 200 miles away. Unfortunately, U.S. missile defenses are oriented outward to detect missiles launched from outside the United States, not missiles launched from inside the United States.

Shortly before Project Pelican negotiations began, the Jacksonville Business Journal exposed GULFTAINER’s attempt to pay $250 million under the table in exchange for becoming a secret, silent partner at Florida’s Port of Jacksonville. The Port of Jacksonville is in close proximity to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay. The exposure of GULFTAINER’s under-the-table payment collapsed the Jafars’ planned deal at the Port of Jacksonville. Convicted felon Corrine Brown was involved with the duplicitous Port of Jacksonville deal.
TIGER GRANTS managed by Joe Biden were awarded to the Port of Jacksonville, Port Canaveral, and the Port of Wilmington.
Joe Biden Managed Millions of Dollars In TIGER Port Infrastructure Grants That Helped GULFTAINER, The Seaports Management Company Linked To China, Iraqi WMDs, and Russia, Take Over U.S. Critical Infrastructure Strategic Ports; In Military Jargon, Joe Biden Brought America’s Enemies ‘Inside The Wire’
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden established the TIGER GRANT program in 2009 under the umbrella of the so-called Recovery Act. Biden and Obama quickly began steering millions of taxpayer dollars through the U.S. Department of Transportation to seaport and container terminal projects that would later benefit GULFTAINER.
GULFTAINER operates as a front company for U.S. adversaries.
President Barack H. Obama, speaking before a crowd of dignitaries at the Port of Wilmington, Delaware, on July 17, 2014, announced:
Thanks to a competitive grant program called TIGER—a program, by the way, that was part of the Recovery Act that we initiated when I first came into office and Joe Biden helped to manage—this port is rebuilding a wharf that will finally let Wilmington compete with other ports for the biggest cargo ships. [Applause] For the biggest cargo ships.
Vice President Joe Biden, during a visit to the Port of Baltimore alongside U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx, announced that “TIGER Grants were conceived by our administration to build a 21st century infrastructure, a 21st century economy.”
However, that 21st century infrastructure ended up in the hands of foreign companies instead of American companies. Those foreign companies subsequently gave some of the port jobs to foreign workers who were awarded special work visas. Joe Biden was not working on behalf of the American people.
GULFTAINER’s Connections To Communist China
The UAE government that partially owns GULFTAINER entered into a joint venture with China’s state-owned shipping company COSCO, granting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) control of the UAE’s Port of Abu Dhabi for a period of 35 years.
The Obama administration granted GULFTAINER partners Hamid Dhia Jafar and Muhammad Al-Qassimi, the Emir of Sharjah in the UAE, a 35-year container terminal lease at Florida’s Port Canaveral.
The UAE’s COSCO-controlled Port of Abu Dhabi is now part of China’s One Belt One Road Initiative. China is the only foreign country that the UAE allows to operate a port inside the Emirates.
For two years before the American invasion of Iraq, Mr. Hussein’s sons, generals and front companies were engaged in lengthy negotiations with North Korea, according to computer files discovered by international inspectors and the accounts of Bush administration officials …
… the goal was to obtain a full production line to manufacture, under an Iraqi flag, the North Korean [Rodong a.k.a. No-dong] missile system, which would be capable of hitting American allies and bases around the region …
According to the CSIS Missile Defense Project, “numerous reports suggest that the North Koreans received [No-dong missile] assistance from Russian and Chinese scientists.”
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar was seeking a delivery system for his miniaturized nuclear weapon known as ‘Beach Ball.’
Gulftainer parent company Crescent Enterprises, led by Badr Jafar, is a partial owner of Gama Aviation and has been involved with Gama since 2006. In 2019, Hutchison Whampoa China increased its stake in Gama Aviation to 30 percent.The Iraqi Jafar family that owns GULFTAINER is partnered with the Chinese government through Hutchison Whampoa.
Hutchison Whampoa scans U.S.- bound cargo containers at the Port of Freeport, Bahamas, an arrangement that experts consider to be a national security risk for the United States.
Asia’s richest man, Li [Ka-Shing] owns Hutchison Whampoa. He is well known outside of financial circles, having attracted the attention of the U.S. military in a top-secret document drawn up in 1999 during his successful bid to buy the Panama Canal ports.
According to the October 1999 “intelligence assessment” prepared by the U.S. military’s Southern Command, the Hong Kong billionaire is a “threat” to U.S. national security…
… According to a 1999 investigative report by the American Foreign Policy Council, “Hutchison Whampoa, through its Hutchison International Terminals subsidiary or Panama Ports Co., has substantial links to the Chinese communist government and the People’s Liberation Army.”
Both Russia’s Club-K Container Missile System and China’s version of the Club-K, the YJ-18C container missile, are Trojan Horse advanced weapon systems disguised as commercial intermodal shipping containers.
In an interesting side note, China is now producing toy models of the Club-K, that makes a nice trophy for many CCP families.
China’s massive military programs and China’s Belt and Road Initiative by which China is taking over seaports around the world were made possible by Joe Biden, who as a U.S. Senator, fought hard to grant China entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) and to receive Most Favored Nation trade status, leaving China flush with cash that the communist regime now uses to prepare for military attacks against the United States and U.S. allies such as Taiwan and South Korea. China’s new found wealth enables it to build and manufacture China’s version of the Club-K.
China is building a long-range cruise missile fired from a shipping container that could turn Beijing’s large fleet of freighters into potential warships and commercial ports into future missile bases.
The new missile is in flight testing and is a land-attack variant of an advanced anti-ship missile called the YJ-18C, according to American defense officials.
The missile will be deployed in launchers that appear from the outside to be standard international shipping containers used throughout the world for moving millions of tons of goods, often on the deck of large freighters.
The YJ-18C is China’s version of the Club-K cruise missile built by Russia that also uses a launcher disguised as a shipping container.
Joe Biden brought dangerous adversaries inside the wire of America’s critical infrastructure ports, violating the dictates set forth in Sun Tzu’s book “The Art of War.” Joe Biden’s actions went well beyond the point where plausible deniability would be a credible excuse.
Military academies throughout the world teach young officers about the ancient Chinese master military strategist Sun Tzu.
Joe Biden, in a stealth manner, brought the enemy inside the wire. Considering Sun Tzu’s maxim on warfare being based upon deception, and the exposure of the Biden family’s connections to Chinese intelligence services and to the Chinese military, one has to ask for whom does Joe Biden work.
It is almost as if Sun Tzu, thousands of years ago, had envisioned Joe Biden’s TIGER Grant operation for Gulftainer in concert with Russia’s Club-K Container Missile System.
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” – Sun Tzu
Considering Sun Tzu’s maxim on deception, Joe Biden’s deals with the Chinese communists, and Biden’s efforts to rebuild U.S. ports in anticipation of foreign takeovers, a serious investigation should commence regarding GULFTAINER’s U.S. port leases. Had any of these port deals received the legally-mandated CFIUS National Security Threat Analysis, Joe Biden could not have gotten away with these blatant acts of treason.
Diamond State Port Corporation’s proposal to allow United Arab Emirates-based seaports management company GULFTAINER, through its subsidiary GT USA Wilmington LLC, to build a new container terminal along the Delaware River in Edgemoor, Delaware on the site of the former Chemours-Dupont titanium plant, presents a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States due to GULFTAINER’s extensive, decades-long derogatory national security profile.
The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), a law enforcement agency tasked with protecting Delaware’s state parks and the health and safety of Delawarians, has a moral and legal obligation to protect the citizens of Delaware and the United States from GULFTAINER and its parent organization THE CRESCENT GROUP OF COMPANIES.
THE CRESCENT GROUP’s principals who reside in the UAE are actively working with America’s adversaries Iran, China, and Russia.
GULFTAINER’s Iraqi-born principals Hamid Dhia Jafar and Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar have for decades been involved in the financing, design, construction, storage, transportation, concealment, and proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Some of those WMDs have already wounded American troops and killed many innocent civilians.
As of 2010, GULFTAINER gained access to an advanced delivery system for those WMDs when GULFTAINER entered into a half billion dollar joint venture with Russian state-owned weapons conglomerate ROSTEC / ROSOBORONEXPORT that exports the Club-K Container Missile Launching System. The GULFTAINER – ROSTEC joint venture is called GULFTAINER RUSSIAN TECHNOLOGIES.
GULFTAINER CEO Peter Richards: GULFTAINER RUSSIAN TECHNOLOGIES Is Building The ‘Gateway To Moscow’ At Russia’s Baltic Sea Port Of Ust Luga
British-based Port Strategy Magazine, quoting GT USA CEO Peter Alexander Richards, reported in 2013:
The Port of Ust-Luga is one of Russia’s largest infrastructure projects; the YUG-2 terminal is the first venture of Gulftainer Russian Technologies, the joint venture created in 2011 by Gulftainer and Prominvest, the financial and investment arm of Russian Technologies [ROSTEC]…
…Ust-Luga is a key port gateway in the heart of Russia’s buoyant Baltic Western region, says Mr Richards. “It is envisioned that the YUG-2 terminal will supplement St Petersburg and act as a gateway to Moscow.”
China is preparing to use the S-400 missiles to shoot down Taiwanese aircraft as they take off during a planned Chinese military invasion of Taiwan, according to recent reports.
GULFTAINER currently operates the entire Port of Wilmington under a 50-year lease awarded to GULFTAINER in 2018 by the State of Delaware’s Diamond State Port Corporation.
Diamond State Port Corporation is the owner of the Port of Wilmington and the Edgemoor property where GULFTAINER plans to build a new container terminal as part of a proposed Port of Wilmington expansion.
When GULFTAINER received both its 35-year container terminal lease at Florida’s Port Canaveral in 2014 (secretly negotiated in an covert operation code-named ‘Project Pelican’) and its 50-year lease of Delaware’s entire Port of Wilmington in 2018, GULFTAINER did not undergo the required 30 and 45-day Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) reviews and the required National Security Threat Analysis by 17 U.S. intelligence agencies. This was an egregious national security lapse.
Had GULFTAINER undergone the required CFIUS reviews and National Security Threat Analysis, the following derogatory national security information would have come to light:
GULFTAINER has extensive ties to: (i) the former Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein, (ii) the Hussein regime’s covert Iraqi weapons of mass destruction programs, (iii) Iraqi nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, the brother and business partner of GULFTAINER owner Hamid Dhia Jafar, (iv) Iraqi chemical weapons mastermind and “Superweapons” Czar Lt. Gen. Dr. Amir Al-Saadi, (who was also Gulftainer owner Hamid Dhia Jafar’s ‘Oil-For-Superweapons’ co-conspirator) (v) Saddam Hussein’s clandestine overseas terror squad Unit 999 (vi), Russian Prime Minister-turned-President Vladimir Putin, (vii) Putin’s longtime “number two,” former KGB officer IgorSechin who oversaw ROSNEFT deals with Hamid Dhia Jafar’s Crescent Petroleum, (viii) Russia’s military industrial complex and intelligence services, (ix) Russian state-owned weapons company ROSTEC/ROSOBORONEXPORT that entered into a joint venture with GULFTAINER called GULFTAINER RUSSIAN TECHNOLOGIES that exports the CLUB-K CONTAINER MISSILE SYSTEM, (x) China, (xi) North Korea, (xii) rogue Pakistani nuclear scientist A. Q. Khan, (xiii) Sudan, (xiv) Iran, and (xv) to Iran’s state-owned ocean shipping line IRISL that covertly supported Iran’s nuclear program in violation of U.S. sanctions.
While the above list of critical national security concerns regarding GULFTAINER should be sufficient cause to immediately cancel GULFTAINER’s proposed Edgemoor container terminal project, GULFTAINER’s derogatory national security profile is far more extensive, as this document will outline.
GULFTAINER Russian Technologies, The Joint Venture Between GULFTAINER And ROSTEC / ROSOBORONEXPORT, Exporter Of Russia’s Club-K Container Missile System
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbUU_9bOcnM&t=1s
The Iraqi Jafar brothers are closely connected to the Iranian regime and two of the most powerful ex-KGB agents in the world, Vladimir Putin, and Putin’s number two, Igor Sechin, considered by some Russia watchers to be even more powerful than Putin. Sechin, who like his oil partners the Iranian regime, conducts business with the Iraqi Jafar family and their oil conglomerate Crescent Petroleum, is known as ‘Russia’s Darth Vader’ and “the scariest man on earth.”
GULFTAINER entered a $500 million joint venture called GULFTAINER Russian Technologies with Russian state-owned weapons and technology company ROSTEC, the 100 percent owner of the Russian government’s official weapons exporting company ROSOBORONEXPORT.
ROSOBORONEXPORT exports Russia’s Trojan Horse advanced weapons system known as the Club-K Container Missile System.
Russia’s Club-K looks identical to any standard intermodal cargo container — the type of metal shipping boxes that GULFTAINER handles at 40 percent of ports across the Middle East and now at two strategic U.S. seaports, Florida’s Port Canaveral and Delaware’s Port of Wilmington.
Russia’s Club-K, however, is actually an advanced satellite-activated weapons system capable of launching Russian Kalibr cruise missiles armed with nuclear, electromagnetic pulse (EMP), chemical, biological, and conventional payloads. “‘This Club-K is game-changing with the ability to wipe out an aircraft carrier 200 miles away,’ said Robert Hewson, editor of Jane’s Air-Launched Weapons, which first reported on the Club-K developments,’” according to The Telegraph.
“Russia’s military is now more capable than at any time since the end of the Cold War,” Bloomberg reported on September 30, 2020, citing a new report from British think tank International Institute for Strategic Studies.
Russia is equipping new naval ships including corvettes and icebreakers with Club-K units. Sea trials are underway, Russian press outlet TASS boasted in August 2020.
GULFTAINER and Saddam’s Overseas Terror Squad Unit 999
Gulftainer owner Hamid Dhia Jafar’s brother and business partner Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar was a senior member of Saddam Hussein’s cabinet and Saddam Hussein’s Presidential Nuclear Adviser as well as Saddam’s Deputy Minister of Industry and Military Industrialization.
Dr. Jafar also had oversight of the Iraqi Directorate of General Military Intelligence (DGMI) Unit 999 special operations and terrorism troops that, with technical assistance from Russian KGB, SVR, and GRU advisers, helped Dr. Jafar to conceal and transfer abroad his nuclear, chemical, and biological WMD programs.
Dr. Jafar can be heard speaking with Saddam Hussein on the ‘Saddam Tapes.’ The ‘Saddam Tapes’ are secret Iraqi government audio recordings of Saddam’s cabinet meetings that were captured by Coalition Forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On the “Saddam Tapes,” Saddam Hussein and his senior cabinet members were heard musing about detonating a nuclear weapon in Washington D.C. One of the foremost leaders in Saddam’s cabinet was his nuclear mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar.
When someone tells you that they want to kill you, believe them. When one of those people making a nuclear threat against the United States is a declared enemy combatant on the Pentagon’s ‘BLACKLIST,’ one might pay strict attention.
Aviation and cargo security expert Glen Winn, who is also a former Secret Service agent, asserted that “while we may not be able to check every cargo container coming into the country without bringing global commerce to a standstill, it is imperative that the lessees to America’s ports receive the proper National Security Threat Analysis. That is the point at which you maintain your national security.”
U.S. Missile Defense Systems Look Outward, Giving Russia’s Trojan Horse Club-K Container Missile System An Advantage
Just one Club-K Container Missile System could launch an EMP attack that could disable America’s power grid and impede America’s ability to respond with a retaliatory strike.
In theory, Russia and other adversaries could carry out a coordinated first strike surge attack from hundreds or even thousands of Club-K Container Missile Systems secretedbehind U.S. missile defenses. Additional missile salvos could be launched from Russian Club-K units in Mexico and from merchant ships and submarines off the U.S. coasts. Likely targets would be U.S. Navy submarine bases in Kitsap, Washington and Kings Bay, Georgia, U.S. Air Force strategic bomber air bases, command and control bases, and the Boeing E4B airborne command 747s.
The Club-K has a ten year shelf life. Club-K units can be remotely activated via satellite. After Club-K units enter U.S. seaports, they can be transported to every hamlet in America via rail, riverine boats, and semi tractor trailer trucks. It is not simply America’s seaports and military bases that are at risk of attack by the Club-K, but rather, the entirety of United States.
Translations from a Russian defense journal and from a secret Iranian military handbook suggest that Russia and Iran have developed a Pearl Harbor 2.0 plan to sink the entire U.S. Navy fleet as part of coordinated asymmetrical attacks against the United States and U.S. military bases around the world.
The plan is to launch Russian Kalibr cruise missiles from submarines, freighter ships, and Trojan Horse Club-K Container Missile System intermodal cargo “containers” that can be smuggled into U.S. ports and moved into the U.S. interior aboard trains and semi-trucks.
In 2015 the Russian journal“Natsionalnaya Oborona” (translation: National Defense) outlined a plan to “hit them in their ports” with Kalibr cruise missiles that could sink entire US Navy fleets docked in ports across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.
Dr. Joseph F. King, the former Chief of the National Security Section at the Department of Homeland Security’s New York City office, was assigned responsibility for all weapons of mass destruction (WMD) issues, including nuclear, chemical, biological (NBC), in the New York metropolitan area following 9/11 and had previously been stationed in Lebanon.
In an exclusive interview with The American Report, Dr. King stated:
The detailed information that has been amassed regarding Project Pelican makes it clear that the threats to our Ports and Terminals, our first line of defense, and the corruption and criminal conduct in these conspiracies, surpass the scope of the “Iran Contra” and “Whitewater” affairs combined.
I find it mind-boggling that this Byzantine attack on our national security has been swept under the rug by the previous administration. I hope that someone in the Trump administration will pursue this dangerous and criminal attack on our Ports and Terminals and ultimately our national security so that, unlike Churchill, we will not have to fight them on our beaches.
Because of Gulftainer’s entrée into the global ports business, and U.S. ports in particular, GULFTAINER’s $500 million joint venture with Russian state-owned weapons company ROSTEC/ROSOBORONEXPORT is of particular interest.
ROSOBORONEXPORT is the exporter of Russia’s Club-K Container Missile System, a Trojan Horse advanced cruise missile launching platform that is visually indistinguishable from the thousands of commercial intermodal shipping containers GULFTAINER handles at the Port of Wilmington and plans to handle at GULFTAINER’s proposed Edgemoor container terminal.
GULFTAINER presents an existential security risk to Delaware, the United States, and the United States military.
President Trump imposed sanctions on GULFTAINER’s Russian joint venture partner ROSOBORONEXPORT on April 6, 2018, the exact same date on which the board members of Diamond State Port Corporation voted unanimously to lease the Port of Wilmington to GULFTAINER for 50 years. The legality of GULFTAINER’s presence in the United States is certainly questionable.
Neither the United States nor Delaware can afford the risk that GULFTAINER presents with the very real possibility that GULFTAINER may smuggle Club-K “container” units through the Port of Wilmington or the proposed Edgemoor container terminal.
From those Club-K ‘containers,’ U.S. adversaries could remotely launch Russian cruise missiles armed with nuclear, electromagnetic pulse (EMP), chemical, biological, and conventional payloads against U.S. military bases including Delaware’s Dover Air Force Base and major American cities including Philadelphia, New York City, and Washington D.C.
GULFTAINER recently showed its true colors during the initial months of the Covid-19 pandemic when GULFTAINER not only attempted to extort a million dollars but illegally blockaded hundreds of gas station and convenience store chain Wawa’s fuel tanker trucks from transiting through the Port of Wilmington to their tank farm. GULFTAINER’s menacing actions disrupted hundreds of Wawa fuel deliveries per day across five Northeastern states — Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
GULFTAINER Is Connected Through The Iraqi Jafar Family And Iraq’s WMD Programs To 100 Percent Of The Countries Currently Designated By The U.S. State Department As State Sponsors Of Terrorism
GULFTAINER, either directly or through the former Iraqi weapons of mass destruction programs with which GULFTAINER was connected for decades, has ties with four out of four, or 100 percent, of the countries currently designated by the U.S. State Department as State Sponsors of Terrorism:
CountryDesignation Date
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) November 20, 2017
Iran January 19, 1984
Sudan August 12, 1993
Syria December 29, 1979
In addition, Iraq under the regime of Saddam Hussein, with which GULFTAINER (founded in 1976) was deeply connected, was previously designated by the State Department as a State Sponsor of Terrorism from1979 until 2004.
GULFTAINER Lied About Its True Ownership: GULFTAINER’s Foreign Owners Include A Foreign Government — The UAE:
Hamid Dhia Jafar, The Brother And Business Partner Of Rogue Nuclear Physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, Saddam Hussein’s Nuclear Weapons And Uranium Enrichment Mastermind; Dr. Jafar Was On DoD CENTCOM ‘BLACKLIST’
Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Ruler Of Sharjah, UAE And One Of The Seven Ruling SheikhsThat Control The UAE Government
GULFTAINER did not disclose in its Port Canaveral and Port of Wilmington lease agreements that the company is partially owned by the Ruler of Sharjah, and therefore partially owned by the UAE government.
GULFTAINER’s Connection To Iran Through GSCCO, KGL, And Iran’s Shipping Line IRISL
GULFTAINER, through GULFTAINER’s consortium Gulf Stevedoring Contracting Company (GSCCO), was in partnership with the Iranian state-owned container shipping line The Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line Group (IRISL) which acts as the primary shipping line for Iran’s covert nuclear weapons program. The Trump administration placed IRISL under secondary U.S. Treasury Department sanctions, effective June 2020.
Gulftainer is the majority owner of Gulf Stevedoring Contracting Co. Ltd (GSCCO).
Gulftainer owns 51% of GSCCO. KGL (Kuwait & Gulf Link) co-founded and partially owns GSCCO with Gulftainer. KGL executives and board members, it was revealed in an American court, were deeply involved in secret container ship operations with IRISL and were under FBI and DoD investigation for money laundering and sanctions violations.
KGL officials worked closely with a top IRISL executive who was placed under sanctions as a Specially Designated National (SDN) by the U.S. Treasury Department and was separately indicted for conspiracy by U.S. District Attorney Cyrus Vance in Manhattan on June 20, 2011
KGL owns 51% of Combined Shipping Company (CSC). IRISL subsidiary VALFAJR owns the remaining 49% of Combined Shipping Company (CSC). CSC and VALFAJR own RAK Shipping, named after the UAE’s RAK Emirate.
On June 8, 2020, the Trump administration’s Treasury Department announced that “today, sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) and its Shanghai [China]-based subsidiary, E-Sail Shipping Company Ltd (E-Sail) have come into effect.”
“The US Treasury Department on June 8 [2020] designated 121 tankers, container ships and other vessels owned or tied to Iranian shipper IRISL for additional secondary sanctions,” according to S&P Global.
UAE Signs Port Deal With China’s COSCO
While we know that GULFTAINER is partially owned by the UAE government, it is important to note that the UAE government recently signed a joint-venture with Chinese state-owned shipping line COSCO. The UAE-COSCO port concession, known as COSCO Shipping Ports Ltd – Abu Dhabi, transferred control of a container terminal at the UAE’s Port of Abu Dhabi to China’s state-owned enterprise COSCO for 35 years.
The UAE’s Port of Abu Dhabi is now part of China’s One Belt One Road Initiative that has seized control of global trade routes and continues to build seaports across the globe to accommodate the communist superpower’s rapidly expanding fleet of Chinese Navy warships and submarines. China now has the largest navy in the world, with more ships than the U.S. Navy. GULFTAINER’s partial owner, the Ruler of Sharjah, is one of the seven members of the UAE Royal Family of Emirs who comprise the UAE’s totalitarian federation of seven monarchies.
Robert Sheridan, a former US Customs Investigator, told the Associated Press:
The last area that really brings it all together, I think, is having foreigners knowing how, even having an inkling of how the United States scrutinises containers from a security standpoint, the various layers of security. And I think that’s also a concern. No matter what the host country says that they’ve assured the American government that they’re following American guidelines, and what have you, there’s always a breakdown in language, there’s always a breakdown for nefarious purposes, and you have a problem. That’s where I see it.
And China has been known to have acquired critical technology from the United States illegally. And they still have a strong presence. Having said that, having a company controlled by the Chinese government through the arm of the PRC (People’s Republic of China) Army, I think is an opportunity, again, to set up an espionage apparatus.
Hutchison Whampoa is controlled by the Chinese government. And if you don’t have somebody there that’s from America whose an American employee of the Customs Service or the Coast Guard, whoever they want to put over there, however they want to name them, that’s representing America’s interest, there’s a chance for it to go haywire.
Late Iranian General Soleimani Made Serious Threat Against The United States
On July 26, 2018, Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani, the “Shadow Commander” in charge of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force that conducts clandestine operations for Iran, threatened President Trump and the United States. Soleimani warned America that Iran would “destroy all that you possess” and quoted ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu. “You know our power in the region and our capabilities in asymmetric war…I’m telling you, Mr. Trump the gambler, I am telling you: know that where you are not thinking of, we are near you. Places you cannot imagine, we are next to you.”
While General Soleimani was permanently taken off the battlefield by President Trump, Soleimiani led Iran’s Quds Force that remains an active threat to the United States.
EMP expert Dr. Peter Vincent Pry warned in an April 26, 2020 Newsmax article:
On Weds. April 22, [2020 — three months after President Trump killed General Soleimani] Iran successfully orbited its first military satellite, launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the world’s most powerful state-sponsored terrorist organization…
… Trajectory of the IRGC’s “Nour” (“Light”) satellite overflies the United States from south to north, from the U.S. blind and defenseless side where there are no Ballistic Missile Early Warning System radars and no National Missile Defense interceptors…
… If nuclear-armed for electromagnetic pulse attack, Nour could project an EMP field covering most of North America, potentially blacking-out power grids and other critical infrastructures that support electronic civilization and the lives of 330 million Americans.
Gulftainer affiliate Crescent Petroleum’s former Head of Strategic Planning was a former Iranian military officer. Crescent Petroleum maintained an office on Africa Expressway in Tehran, in defiance of U.S. sanctions against Iran.
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), while serving as Representative Sanders (I-VT) on the House Financial Services Committee, passionately opposed on national security grounds the 2006 Dubai Ports World deal that would have handed over six major US seaports to the UAE government.
Rep. Sanders grilled a senior Treasury Department official involved in CFIUS who was testifying about U.S. Seaport Operations and the Dubai Ports World deal:
At a time when we are spending billions of dollars trying to protect the American people from terrorism, I cannot understand how the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States [CFIUS] would OK a deal that would put the operations of major American ports into the hands of a company that is wholly owned by United Arab Emirates government…
… The United Arab Emirates government had direct ties to Osama bin Laden and was one of three countries in the world to recognize the Taliban government of Afghanistan. At least two 9/11 hijackers came from the United Arab Emirates. According to the FBI, money was transferred to the 9/11 hijackers through the UAE banking system. After 9/11, the Treasury Department reported that the UAE was not cooperating in efforts to track down Osama bin Laden’s bank accounts. The UAE has been a key transfer point for illegal shipments of nuclear components to Iran, North Korea, and Libya. Further, there are as I understand it, no democratic institutions in the United Arab Emirates … and yesterday we learned that the parent company of Dubai Ports World is honoring an Arab boycott of Israel…
… The 9/11 Commission reported that a United States missile strike intended for Osama bin Laden had to be called off in 1999 because members of the United Arab Emirates Royal Family and government officials were at Bin Laden’s hunting camp in Afghanistan. In other words, we could have killed Osama bin Laden over two years before 9/11 if we were not concerned about harming the royal family of the UAE.
Can any of you tell the American people the names of the government officials or royal family who enjoyed hunting trips together with Osama bin Laden?
Further, can you tell us that these very same officials will not be involved in the UAE government-run Dubai Ports World which will have ownership over six major American ports?
Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), Senate Minority Leader, asked on the Senate floor:
Do we want a country that was a staging ground for the 9/11 terrorists? Do we want a country owning one of our seaports who was instrumental in allowing devices to make nuclear weapons go through its seaports to other parts of the world? The answer Mr. President is no, we do not want that.
Biographies of Iraqi Brothers And Business Partners GULFTAINER Owner Hamid Dhia Jafar and Saddam Hussein’s Nuclear Weapons Mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar
Hamid Dhia Jafar, born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1947, is the owner of GULFTAINER. Hamid Dhia Jafar the Chairman of the Board of the Crescent Group of Companies, a Middle Eastern conglomerate controlled by the Iraqi Jafar family and based in the UAE’s Sharjah emirate. The Crescent Group owns GULFTAINER, GULFTAINER subsidiary GT USA, Crescent Petroleum, Uruk Project Development Company, and other Crescent Group subsidiaries.
Hamid Dhia Jafar is the brother and business partner of rogue nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, who was born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1943. Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar is the former Vice Chairman of the Iraq Atomic Energy Commission and the former chief of Saddam Hussein’s covert nuclear weapons program, code-named Petrochemicals Project/3 (PC3). Dr. Jafar is often referred to as “the father of Iraq’s nuclear program.’ Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar was also the principal architect of Saddam Hussein’s clandestine uranium enrichment program that produced weapons-grade uranium for use in Iraqi nuclear bombs.
Dr. Jafar’s expansive nuclear weapons program had 20,000 employees, 7,000 of whom were scientists and engineers. “Jafar’s empire included more than two dozen weapons plants, most of them clustered around Baghdad. He managed a legion of employees and remarkable laboratories that concentrated exclusively on fissile materials and their weaponization” according to the book Critical Mass: The Dangerous Race for Superweapons in a Fragmenting World.
NBC News referred to Dr. Jafar as “a combination of Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Strangelove who mixes Muslim fatalism, Arab nationalism, and modern technocracy.”
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar also oversaw technology transfer operations in support of Iraq’s chemical and biological warfare programs, according to CIA documents.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar is the CEO of GULFTAINER affiliate Uruk Project Development Company, establishing not only a direct Iraqi family connection, but also a direct business connection between GULFTAINER, the lessee of Delaware’s proposed Edgemoore container terminal site and Saddam Hussein’s extensive weapons of mass destruction programs.
The United States Secretary of Defense placed Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s name on U.S. Central Command’s classified Operation Iraqi Freedom ‘Blacklist’ of senior Saddam Hussein regime officials that U.S. military and Coalition partners were tasked with capturing, and in the case that U.S. or coalition service members faced resistance, to engage with lethal military force.
The image below shows Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s name on the U.S. Defense Department’s now-declassified ‘BLACKLIST’:
Dr. Jafar designed and built Saddam’s ‘Arab Bomb,’ the Iraqi miniaturized nuclear weapon known as ‘Beach Ball.’ Saddam Hussein, according to the book Brighter Than the Baghdad Sun: Saddam Hussein’s Nuclear Threat to the United States, planned to conceal one of Dr. Jafar’s ‘Beach Balls’ aboard a cargo ship, and sail it into Israel’s Port of Haifa, which is often visited by U.S. Navy warships and submarines. Saddam planned to detonate Dr. Jafar’s nuclear weapon in Israel’s port.
Like Saddam, GULFTAINER has a particular affinity for positioning its container terminals near U.S. Navy ships and submarines, especially U.S. Navy ballistic submarines armed with Trident II ballistic missiles that comprise America’s last line of nuclear deterrence and defense against China and Russia. GULFTAINER maintains a very close and long-time association with Russia, a relationship that dates back into the Soviet era.
From 2012 to 2014, GULFTAINER executed its secretly-negotiated operation ‘Project Pelican.’
Initially, GULFTAINER attempted to take over container terminal operations at Florida’s Port of Jacksonville, in a $250 million under-the-table scheme that would have made GULFTAINER a secret, silent partner at the port.
The Port of Jacksonville is located a few miles south of Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, home of the U.S. Navy’s Atlantic fleet of Trident ballistic missile submarines. The Jacksonville deal fell through in 2012 after it was exposed by a local reporter.
In 2014, however, GULFTAINER succeeded in securing a 35-year no-bid container terminal lease at Florida’s Port Canaveral, home of another U.S. Navy submarine base and adjacent to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
President Barack Obama’s administration bypassed the required CFIUS National Security Threat Assessment of GULFTAINER’s ‘Project Pelican’ Port Canaveral deal.
GULFTAINER affiliate Crescent Petroleum also provided material and financial support to Saddam Hussein’s regime in support of Iraq’s military industrial complex, and in particular, Saddam Hussein’s nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons of mass destruction programs, collectively referred to by the regime as Saddam’s “superweapons” programs.
In a letter to Crescent Petroleum owner Hamid Dhia Jafar, a copy of which was provided to United States Members of Congress investigating the military capabilities of Saddam’s Iraqi regime, was written and signed by Iraqi Lt. Gen. Dr. Amir Al-Saadi (a.k.a. al-Sadi), co-Deputy Minister of Military Industrialization (alongside Deputy Minister Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar) who also served as the head of Iraq’s chemical weapons program. Dr. Al-Saadi was #32 on the U.S. military’s most wanted list and Seven of Diamonds in the Iraqi Most Wanted Playing Cards.
Al-Saadi was recently named as a co-conspirator in a lawsuit filed on behalf of the survivors of the Halabja chemical weapons massacre.
In the below letter, Deputy Minister Lt. General Dr. Al-Saadi authorized Gulfainer owner Hamid Dhia Jafar to launch a secret Iraqi regime operation known as ‘Oil-For-Superweapons’ to illegally sell Iraqi gasoline to unwitting American motorists in order to finance Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction programs, including Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s covert nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment programs.

Dr. Amir al-Saadi (right) and Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Military Industrialization director Hussein Kamel al Majid to sell Iraqi oil to fund his brother Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s nuclear weapons program. A copy of a letter sent by al-Saadi to Hamid Jafar was provided to Members Congress, proving the deal.
GULFTAINER’s Connections To The Halabja Chemical Weapons Genocide: Saddam Hussein “Gassed His Own People”
GULFTAINER has direct ties to the architects of the 1988 Halabja chemical weapons genocide by which Saddam Hussein’s regime used sulfer mustard and other chemical weapon agents to massacre at least 5,000 Kurdish civilians and wound 10,000 more with chemical burns, neurological damage, and other severe, permanent injuries. The Halabja chemical weapons attack also contaminated Halabja’s natural environment.
Why Was There No GULFTAINER CFIUS Review And National Security Threat Analysis: CFIUS Staff Chair Amin Nabi Mir’s Connections To Hamas And Pakistani Intelligence Service ISI
“As CFIUS Staff Chair, and then as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Investment Security at the US Department of the Treasury, Aimen served as the most senior US government career official responsible for conducting US national security reviews of foreign investment, managing the disposition of over 1,000 transactions,” according to a 2019 press release. Mir was in a position to influence GULFTAINER’s CFIUS case while overseeing CFIUS cases at the Treasury Department and during an unusual eight-month stint in 2014 at the Department of Justice National Security Division.
In the cases of both GULFTAINER’s Port of Wilmington lease and GULFTAINER’s Port Canaveral lease, U.S. Treasury Department officials incorrectly argued that GULFTAINER was not required to undergo CFIUS national security investigations and National Security Threat Analysis on the flawed legal theory that because those port agreements were leases and not purchases they were not CFIUS “covered transactions.”
Aimen Mir was the two-time president of the youth wing of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). ISNA is associated with Palestinian terror organization Hamas. ISNA was named by the U.S. Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land terrorism support case.
The American Report wrote in October 2017:
Aimen Mir is the son of Kashmir-born physician Dr. Ghulam Nabi Mir, an ISNA Founders Committee member. Dr. Mir is also the president of the World Kashmir Awareness Forum (WKAF), an Islamic platform Dr. Mir uses to aggressively advocate for Kashmir’s secession from India in order to join Pakistan. WKAF’s Secretary General “Dr.” Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, is a convicted felon, also from Kashmir, who served as a Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI) operative inside the United States. Fai was arrested by the FBI in 2011 for covertly operating as an unregistered foreign agent while receiving $3.5 million dollars in wire transfers from the ISI.
GULFTAINER Connected To Iraqi WMD Programs That Damaged The Environment With Radiation And Toxic Chemicals And Conducted Experiments That Tortured And Killed Killed Humans And Animals
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s Iraqi biological warfare colleague Dr. Rihab Taha was known as Dr. Germ. “Iraq had decided to begin full-scale production of anthrax and botulinum toxin. Botulinum, being a toxin, was Taha’s favorite,” NBC News reported in an article titled “The World’s Deadliest Woman?”
Dr. Taha worked directly for Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, Saddam’s Deputy Minister of Military Industrialization.
The facts are undeniable. Dr Taha’s team grew 19,000 litres of botulinum toxin, a food poison that swells the tongue and suffocates its victim.
Two thousand litres of aflatoxin were produced, which causes liver cancer. And they also prepared gas gangrene, which causes skin to melt away.
UN weapons inspectors discovered munitions filled with these agents dumped in a river, proving they had indeed been weaponised.
According to a U.S. Air Force research report, Dr. Taha:
had earlier been responsible for tests of anthrax and botulinum at Iraq’s Salman Park facility.These tests were conducted on rats, mice, rhesus monkeys, beagles and donkeys. In unreleased video tapes seized by the U.N. two years ago, the animals that had been exposed to germ agents were shown writhing and dying in agony.
“Taha was directly responsible for those tests and some believe she may also have been responsible for human trials [of biological weapons], although she and the Iraqi government deny it,” NBC News stated.
During Operation Iraqi Freedom, radioactive material from Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment programs sickened U.S. personnel on the ground that were searching for WMDs.
The American people, including many operating within the government, have been conditioned by the media to repeat the phrase “there were no WMDs in Iraq.”
Any thorough and honest investigation of Dr. Jafar and his WMD programs will reveal that there were WMDs in Iraq and many of them remain unaccounted for. Many Iraqi WMD sites were never even located or inspected. Moreover U.S. troops were sickened after exposure to chemical weapons and radiation while operating in Iraq.
Dave Gaubatz, a civilian US federal agent with the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI), who previously spent 20 years on active duty with the U.S. Air Force. Agent Gaubatz was exposed to WMD in Iraq and has exclusively provided The American Report his federal worker’s compensation claim and his Defense Department Post-Deployment Health Assessment (DD Form 2796) to prove it.

The American people have an opportunity to stop the GULFTAINER container terminal project that is planned on the shores of the Delaware River. GULFTAINER presents a clear and present danger to U.S. national security.
The American people, the U.S. military, American shipping companies, American jobs, and the environment are at great risk from GULFTAINER.
Gulftainer co-owner Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, the dictatorial Ruler of Sharjah, United Arab Emeriates, is now demanding that Muslims recapture a 1,400 year-old Catholic cathedral in Córdoba, Spain and convert it into a mosque, in a shocking repeat of Spain’s gory eighth-century fall to Islam.
“They do not own it,” it “belongs to Muslims,” Gulftainer’s brutal Sheikh Al-Qasimi declared in July 2020.
Gulftainer’s Al-Qasimi is demanding a return to the 711 A.D. Islamic conquest of Córdoba, Spain. Al-Qasimi is insisting that Córdoba’s ancient Spanish cathedral be surrendered to Islam, according to a July 18, 2020 report from Spanish newspaper El Día de Córdoba hi, citing an interview Al-Qasimi provided to Sharjah News.
Spanish leftists are working with wealthy Middle Eastern Muslims to seize the Christian Cathedral. Islam is being utilized as the sword of communist revolutionaries in Spain.
Shortly after Gulftainer entered into a joint venture with Russian state-owned weapons conglomerate ROSTEC/ROSOBORONEXPORT, the exporter of Russia’s Trojan Horse Club-K Intermodal Shipping Container Cruise Missile Launching System, the Obama Administration placed Gulftainer “inside the wire” with a 35-year cargo container terminal lease at Florida’s Port Canaveral. Gulftainer’s Canaveral Terminal sits only 1000 feet from U.S. Navy Trident submarines and adjacent to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Gulftainer’s secretly-negotiated Port Canaveral deal was code-named ‘Project Pelican.’ The Navy’s Ohio-class Trident submarines known as ‘boomers’ are the most important leg of America’s nuclear triad. With Obama’s Gulftainer deal, ‘boneheaded’ took on new meaning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbUU_9bOcnM&t=1s
Christians established Córdoba’s cathedral in 600 A.D. Violent Muslim invaders overran their church in 711 A.D. and built a mosque on top of it in a demonstration of Islam’s dominance over Christianity. The Muslim barbarians executed 48 Córdoba Christian martyrs — beheading most of them and throwing the rest of them alive into cauldrons of molten lead.
King Ferdinand III of Castile (modern-day Spain) wrested Córdoba’s Christian holy site away from the invading Muslims in 1236 and dedicated it to the Catholic Church. The Cathedral has remained in the hands of the Catholic Church for the last 800 years.
In a bizarre turn of events, Gulftainer co-owner UAE Sheikh Al-Qasimi is demanding the Spanish Catholic Cathedral be surrendered to Musilms once again in a replay of ancient history, alarming Catholics while emboldening Muslim and far-left communist activists.
Sheikh Al-Qasimi’s demand that Spanish Catholics surrender Córdoba’s cathedral to Islam came only days after TurkIish Islamic dictator President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ordered The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, the Roman Empire’s first Christian cathedral, be converted into a mosque. Turkey under Erdoğan is no longer the secular state that was established by modern-day Turkey’s founder Kemal Atatürk.
“Dr Al-Qasimi’s emirate [Sharjah] has been condemned by various human rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, which claims the regime is responsible for “torture, restrictions on freedoms of expression and association, and violations of women’s rights,” Durham University’s student newspaper reported.
Viktor Bout, the infamous Russian arms smuggler known as the “Merchant of Death,” previously resided in Sheik Sultan Al Qasimi’s Sharjah before being arrested and convicted by a U.S. federal court of delivering anti-aircraft missiles to terrorists. Bout is a close associate of Vladimir Putin.
U.S. Ports Are The Gateway To America
Sheikh Al-Qasimi and Iraqi businessman Hamid Dhia Jafar are the co-owners of the Sharjah-based seaports company Gulftainer, according to World Bank documents.
Hamid Dhia Jafar’s brother and business partner is the rogue Iraqi nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons mastermind. Both Iraqi Jafar brothers were deeply involved in Saddam Hussein’s massive top-secret uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons programs.
Hamid Dhia Jafar and Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar are direct descendants of the Prophet Mohammad, according to the late Northcutt Ely, Hamid Dhia Jafar’s one-time attorney. The Al-Qasimi royal family that rules the emirates of Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) also claims to be descended from the Prophet Mohammad.
The Iraqi Jafar family’s oil company Crescent Petroleum, a Gulftainer affiliate, maintains an office on Africa Expressway in Tehran, where the Jafars and Crescent bypassed U.S. sanctions against Iran. The U.S. Treasury Department and three Congressional committees investigated Hamid Dhia Jafar and Crescent Petroleum’s illegal ‘Oil-For-Superweapons’ scheme to sell Iraqi oil in order to secretly fund Saddam’s and Dr. Jafar’s nuclear WMD programs.
The U.S. government also investigated Crescent Petroleum to determine whether it was a Saddam Hussein front company.
The Obama administration’s decision to award Gulftainer a 35-year lease to Florida’s Port Canaveral cargo container terminal, bypassing the mandated CFIUS National Security Threat Assessment, appears to be nothing short of enemy action. Why Gulftainer in the wake of the 2006 Dubai Ports World debacle was allowed inside any U.S. seaport remains a mystery.
Blacklisted: Wanted For Capture Or Kill
The Pentagon placed Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar on CENTCOM’s Operation Iraqi Freedom “Blacklist,” designating Dr. Jafar as an enemy combatant and legitimate U.S. military target wanted for capture or kill.
Soviet-trained nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar oversaw Iraq’s clandestine nuclear program in pursuit of Saddam’s “Arab Bomb.” Dr Jafar Dhia Jafar’s target has always been the United States and Israel.
Russia, Club-K, And Gulftainer ‘Inside The Wire’ At U.S. Ports
For Gulftainer to have entered into a deal with Russia was to be expected, as the Jafars, Al-Qasimi, and Gulftainer have long-established ties with the military-industrial complex of the Soviet Union and Russia. What was not expected was for Barack Obama to have placed Gulftainer inside the wire at a critical strategic U.S. seaport that is integrated with two U.S. military bases and America’s space program.
Relying on Sun-Tzu’s ancient military tactic of deception, ROSOBORONEXPORT’s Club-K appears identical to a harmless commercial intermodal cargo container. However, hidden inside each Club-K “container” are four advanced Russian Kalibr cruise missiles that can deliver lethal payloads of nuclear, EMP, chemical, biological, and conventional warheads. Satellites in space remotely launch Club-K’s cruise missiles and guide them to their targets. Unfortunately, Russia’s Trojan Horse Club-K units have a reported ten-year shelf life.
The Obama administration placed al-Qasimi and the Iraqi Jafar brothers inside the wire in the United States by facilitating and approving Gulftainer’s takeover of intermodal cargo container operations at U.S. strategic seaport Port Canaveral. Gulftainer, with assistance from Obama administration holdovers including U.S. Treasury Department official Thomas Feddo, subsequently also took control of Delaware’s entire Port of Wilmington.
The “Saddam Tapes,” captured by coalition forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom, revealed Saddam Hussein and his top cabinet officials, of which Dr. Jafar was one, musing about putting a nuclear bomb into Washington D.C. that could not be tracked back to Iraq.
Destroying America with its own uranium has been made entirely possible with the Uranium One sale of 20% of America’s uranium to Russia by HillaryClinton and Barack Obama — as Russia, and their proxies Iran, North Korea, China, and Dr. Jafar now hold America’s nuclear isotope signature.
The United States, however, is not in possession of Russia’s nuclear isotope signatures. Should America get hit with a nuclear weapon fueled by American uranium that Russia seized through the Uranium One deal, the isotope signature would trace back to the United States rather than identify the true culprit. The same can be said for any other nuclear weapon that detonates anywhere around the globe that uses American uranium and that carries America’s uranium isotope signature. The catastrophic fallout could be beyond imagination.
This is the transformation that Barack Obama effected on America.
President Trump Sanctions ROSOBORONEXPORT, Russia’s Club-K Exporter; Will Those Sanctions Affect Gulftainer?
President Trump placed sanctions on ROSOBORONEXPORT in 2018 on the same day Gulftainer piggy-backed off of their initial Port Canaveral deal by taking over Delaware’s entire Port of Wilmington with a 50-year lease. Members of the International Longshoremen’s Association reached out to The American Report to express their deep concern and discontent with Gulftainer’s Port of Wilmington deal.
Nothing but trouble followed Gulftainer’s entrée into U.S. ports.
Democrats, including Delaware Senator Tom Carper, a close associate of pro-China presidential candidate Joe Biden, continue to provide ever-expanding special assistance to UAE-based Gulftainer.
That Spain would even consider capitulating to a Middle-Eastern Islamic Sheikh who enforces barbaric Sharia law in the UAE and who is aggressively demanding the handover of Córdoba’s Catholic Cathedral makes about as much sense as the Obama administration awarding to that same Islamic Middle Eastern Sheikh a 35-year no-bid, no-CFIUS lease at Florida’s Port Canaveral. This is particularly disturbing in light of the UAE’s connections to Saddam’s WMD programs and to 17 of the 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists who attacked America on 9/11.
Gulftainer is not only connected to Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and Al-Qaeda. Gulftainer, through Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, Hamid Dhia Jafar, and Sheikh Al-Qasimi, is also connected to the Iraqi Unit 999 terror organization that was complicit in the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing.
Al-Qaeda terrorists attacked Madrid in 2004 in coordinated train bombings, killing 193 people and wounding an additional 2,000. Present-day Spain may be acutely aware of the risk of capitulating to Islamic threats after the massacres that took place in Madrid in 2004.
Barack Obama’s Pakistani college roommate Wahid Hamid works closely with Hamid Dhia Jafar. Wahid Hamid was the Managing Partner of The Abraaj Group, the now spectacularly-collapsed Middle Eastern private equity firm. Hamid Dhia Jafar was a founding shareholder of The Abraaj Group. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, led by the famed vaccination king, was an Abraaj Group investor. Wahid Hamid is known for having accompanied Barack Obama on his mysterious 1981 trip through Pakistan.
Gulftainer Executive Badr Jafar, Al-Qasimi, and Sexual Predator Kevin Spacey
Gulftainer executive Badr Jafar, Hamid Dhia Jafar’s son, went to the Obama White House several weeks before the no-bid secret Project Pelican 35 year lease was announced and signed — all in one day — bypassing Florida’s open bidding laws.
Al-Qasimi, like Badr Jafar, has a wealth of interesting friends. Al-Qasimi and Badr Jafar worked with Kevin Spacey and Spacey’s foundation to establish a non-profit Middle-Eastern theater academy that trains young actors aged 25 and under. Spacey spent time coaching the young actors who performed a play in an intimate gathering before an audience that included Gulftainer co-owner Muhammad Al-Qasimi.
Kevin Spacey Foundation Shut Down Amid Sexual Harassment And Sexual Assault Allegations
The Kevin Spacey Foundation shut down its UK operations in 2018 “in the wake of the sexual harassment and assault allegations against Spacey,” Variety reported.
Tara Jaffar, according to her LinkedIn profile, was Associate Director of the Kevin Spacey Foundation in the UK and the UAE from 2014 to 2015, a timeframe that coincides with Project Pelican.
Tara Jaffar’s relative Jafar Dhia Jafar had his insider trading violation charges dismissed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Obama Administration. After a exhaustive three-year review by the SEC, where Melissa Hodgman, Peter Strzok’s much-ignored wife, was in place as assistant director of the SEC’s Enforcement Division, the SEC appears to have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when it dismissed its $3.4 million dollar insider trading case against Jafar Dhia Jafar in 2015.
The SEC dropped Jafar’s insider trading case in the same time frame that the Obama administration approved Gulftainer’s Port Canaveral lease by illegally bypassing the required CFIUS National Security Threat Analysis. It is not clear if Jafar Dhia Jafar is Dr. Jafar’s son or nephew, though this Jafar Dhia Jafar works at Gulftainer affiliate URUK Project Development Company, where Dr. Jafar is the CEO.
Badr Jafar dated Naomi Campbell, a close friend of both Ghislaine Maxwell and the now-deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Campbell also flew aboard Epstein’s jet, known as the Lolita Express, with the Iraqi Jafars’ associate Bill Clinton — according to flight logs.
$70 Billion In Donation Commitments To The Clinton Global Initiative: What Was Being Sold And What Was Being Bought?
Badr Jafar’s brother Majid Jafar co-launched Business Backs Education with Bill Clinton in March 2014, three months before Gulftainer simultaneously announced and signed “Project Pelican” — Gulftainer’s 35-year Port Canaveral cargo container terminal lease. Varkey raised $70 Billion in promissory donations, a.k.a. “commitments,” for the Clinton Global Initiative through his elite and presumably exceedingly wealthy associates.
NATO Member Spain At Risk From Russia’s Club-K Container Missile System
Spain is a NATO member. U.S. Navy and British Royal Navy submarines armed with Trident ballistic missiles provide a nuclear deterrent that helps protect Spain from a potential Russian invasion of Western Europe. Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy conduct Trident II D5 submarine-launched ballistic missile testing operations from Port Canaveral.
Spain is home to Naval Station Rota, the “Gateway to the Mediterranean.” U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers depend upon Naval Station Rota.
The U.S. Navy Virginia-class attack submarine U.S.S Indiana, commissioned in Port Canaveral in 2018 with Vice President Pence in attendance, was at Naval Station Rota in 2020.
UAE Ports Form Alliance With Communist China
Not only is Al-Qasimi and the Iraqi Jafar brothers’ Gulftainer in business with ROSOBORONEXPORT, the Russian enterprise that exports the Trojan Horse Club-K Container Missile System, the UAE has integrated its ports industry with Communist China.
As part of Communist China’s One Belt, One Road infrastructure project that aims to rebuild China’s ancient Silk Road trading route, five Chinese firms have invested $300 million in the UAE’s Abu Dhabi Ports.
“This is not the first time China and the UAE have collaborated. In 2015, the two countries established a joint investment fund worth $10 billion,” CNBC reported.
Was The Gulftainer Lease Legal Then, And Is It Legal Now?
The American Report learned from a confidential source that the Gulftainer ownership split between Hamid Dhia Jafar and Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi was 50-50 at the time of Gulftainer’s Port Canaveral lease application.
Because of Gulftainer’s fraudulent application and the false information contained therein, the agreement was not in compliance with U.S. law and therefore became null and void under CFIUS.
The approval process for foreign governments to buy or lease critical infrastructure in the United States that is vital to the nation’s economic stability and national security was overhauled in the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA) that President Trump signed into law as part of the 2019 NDAA: “The new law brings expanded oversight over previously uncovered transactions, including minority stakes and other non-controlling investments. It expands CFIUS jurisdiction over real estate transactions including leases near sensitive locations,” according to The National Law Journal.
Congressman Duncan Hunter, Marine Corps Major Who Fought In Iraq, Stood Up To Gulftainer And The Deep State, Then Paid The Price
California Republican Congressman Duncan D. Hunter served as a U.S. Marine Corps artillery officer during two tours in Iraq and another tour in Afghanistan. Major Hunter fought in Fallujah, encountered frequent ambushes, and still struggles with the effects of his extended combat tours, although he says that he “never filed for post-traumatic stress. It’s not an issue.”
Duncan Hunter is the only official who stood up to Gulftainer’s Port Canaveral deal. While Senators were engaged in insider trading, and FBI Directors were lying under oath, enacting a seditious coup d’état and hoax Russian collusion investigation, and redistributing America to her adversaries, Duncan Hunter was the one and only official who stood up for America.
Meanwhile, former intelligence officials from the Obama administration who had lied under oath were rewarded with ever-bigger paydays through book deals and analyst jobs at the Mockingbird media cable news channels, where they continue to peddle even more egregious lies.
That Old Racism Canard: The Ghost Of Leon Trotsky Rises From The Dead, Spewing Old Communist Talking Points: “Racism, Racism, Racism”
Canaveral Port Authority CEO John E. Walsh began conflating legitimate criticism of Gulftainer’s Port Canaveral deal with racism. Racism is the third rail of politics, so Walsh spit out that old racism canard. It was as if Walsh was channelling the ghost of Leon Trotsky himself, spewing Trotsky’s tired old communist talking point — “racism, racism, racism.”
Yet, top national security officials did not buy into the politically correct talking points. Those officials had deep concerns about Gulftainer’s 35-year lease at Port Canaveral. The American Report met with some of those officials.
The abruptly-announced deal between Gulftainer and Port Canaveral immediately became a lightning rod for criticism due to real and serious national security concerns.
To deflect those objections, Port Canaveral CEO Walsh employed the Obama administration’s standard talking point: “We can’t be racist.”
Joe Kasper, then Chief of Staff to Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), when asked by The American Report to comment on the “We can’t be racist” argument made by CEO Wash, objected strongly:
“THAT CLAIM IS B***S**T — ONLY AN IRRELEVANT AND IGNORANT PERSON WOULD SAY THAT.” – JOE KASPER, THEN-CHIEF OF STAFF TO REP. DUNCAN HUNTER (R-CA)
Duncan Hunter had the full weight of government come after him for campaign finance irregularities. One must consider the attention that was drawn to Hunter after he exposed the national security nightmare of Gulftainer’s Port Canaveral and Port of Wilmington deals. Hunter was sentenced to nearly a year in prison. The Clinton Global Initiative, on the other hand, had $70 billion coming their way.
Rep. Hunter (R-CA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, stated during an interview with Frank Gaffney:
If you want to get a weapon of mass destruction into the U.S., you’re not going to walk it across the border with Mexico on your back in a giant backpack. You’re not going to land with it in LAX and say here’s my weapon of mass destruction. You’re going to use a cargo container. That’s how the bad guys will get a weapon of mass destruction into the U.S. next — is through some kind of shipping container. One of the easiest ways to have that happen is by this Gulftainer deal going through.
Democrat U.S. Senator Tom Carper of Delaware is assisting Middle Eastern seaports company Gulftainer in taking over U.S. strategic ports, threatening U.S. critical infrastructure and U.S. national security.
Senator Carper is closely tied to longtime U.S. adversaries Iran and the Vietnamese communist regime, despite the fact that Senator Carper served in Vietnam.
Gulftainer is intimately tied to Iraqi WMDs, Iran, and Russia. Senator Carper continued to push Gulftainer’s Port of Wilmington deal though the Gulftainer deal received no CFIUS National Security Threat Analysis.
Members of the International Longshoremen’s Association union in Delaware reached out to The American Report with deep concerns regarding the State of Delaware’s plans to bring Gulftainer into the Port of Wilmington.
Gulftainer showed its true colors in April 2020 when Gulftainer blockaded Wawa tanker trucks from delivering fuel to hundreds of Wawa gas stations across five north eastern states (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia) amid the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Gulftainer then attempted to extort one million dollars from Buckeye Partners, the company that controls the fuel tank farm adjacent to the Port of Wilmington where Wawa loads hundreds of fuel tanker trucks each and every day.
Initially, Gulftainer received a 35-year lease to Florida’s Port Canaveral cargo container terminal under the Obama administration shortly after Gulftainer entered into a joint venture with Russia’s ROSTEC/ROSOBORONEXPORT, the exporter of Russia’s Trojan Horse Club-K Intermodal Cargo Container Cruise Missile Launching System. While the Club-K looks identical to a standard commercial intermodal cargo containers that get delivered to every hamlet in America, it is actually an advanced military weapons system that can deliver nuclear, EMP, chemical, biological, and conventional payloads.

President Trump placed sanctions on Russia’s ROSOBORONEXPORT on the very day that Delaware’s Port of Wilmington approved Gulftainer’s lease of the entire port.
Both Jafar brothers were investigated by the U.S. government. The Pentagon placed Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar on the CENTCOM Operation Iraqi Freedom ‘Blacklist’ with orders to capture or kill Dr. Jafar. The U.S. Treasury Department and three Congressional committees investigated Hamid Dhia Jafar and his company Crescent Petroleum, a Gulftainer affiliate, for his ‘Oil-For-Superweapons’ program that financed Saddam’s and Dr. Jafar’s WMD programs.
Governor Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania and Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey, both Democrats, are either unaware of the national security threat presented by Gulftainer, or they are terrified of taking the issue up with Congress. Representative Duncan Hunter (R-CA) objected to Gulftainer leases and the lack of a CFIUS National Security Threat Analysis, and the full weight of the U.S. government went after Representative Hunter.
Governors Wolf and Murphy wrote a May 28, 2020 letter to key leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives that conspicuously omits the name Gulftainer, urging them to reject Senator Carper’s shipping bill that favors a “foreign-owned entity” over American-owned port operators.
Senator Carper’s lousy proposed deal not only has Middle-Eastern-owned Gulftainer taking over America’s international shipping along the Delaware River, cutting out American competitors in Philadelphia and New Jersey, but also has the American taxpayers picking up the tab, paying Gulftainer’s bills.
Exactly who does Senator Carper work for? Because it does not appear to be the American people.
U.S. Representative Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania, a Democrat, and U.S. Representative Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, a Republican, also wrote a letter to Members of Congress strenuously objecting to Senator Carper’s efforts to assist Middle Eastern ports company Gulftainer.
Representative Fitzpatrick was formerly a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney with the Department of Justice and was an FBI Supervisory Special Agent. Fitzpatrick, as an FBI special agent, served as an al-Qaeda interrogator while embedded with U.S. troops in Mosul, Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar operated his ‘Al Jazeera’ “yellow cake” uranium processing facility near Mosul that produced uranium tetrachloride feed material for Dr. Jafar’s electromagnetic isotope separation (EMIS) secret uranium enrichment facilities, according to Science Magazine. Dr. Jafar’s carefully-hidden EMIS facilities provided weapons-grade uranium fuel for Saddam and Dr. Jafar’s ‘Arab Bomb’ program.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, as one of Saddam’s three Ministers of Military Industrialisation, was heard on the captured “Saddam Tapes.” On those tapes, Saddam was heard musing about ‘terrorists’ detonating a nuclear weapon in Washington D.C.
Gulftainer, the Middle-Eastern ports company managing two strategic U.S. seaports — Florida’s Port Canaveral and Delaware’s Port of Wilmington — is not only connected to Iraq’s WMD programs and Russia’s Trojan Horse Club-K Container Missile Launching System, but also, disturbingly, to Iraq’s Unit 999.
Oklahoma City television reporter Jayna Davis identified ‘John Doe No. 2,’ as Iraqi Republican Guard soldier Hussain al-Hussaini‘ in her book The Third Terrorist.’
Following the April 19, 1995 Oklahoma City terror strike on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building that killed 168 Americans and wounded 680 others, Davis identified Timothy Mcveigh, Terry Nichols, and Iraqi Unit 999 soldier Hussain al-Hussaini as the principal terrorists responsible for that attack.
Former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) official Colonel Patrick Lang, working with Davis, concluded that Iraqi Unit 999 recruited Al-Husseini from Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi Republcan Guard.
U.S. intelligence and Pentagon officials concurred with Davis and Colonel Lang’s conclusion that Hussain al-Hussaini, a.k.a. ‘John Doe No. 2,’ was one of Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi Directorate of Military Intelligence (DGMI) Special Operations Group Unit 999 clandestine overseas operatives.
Gulftainer owner Hamid Dhia Jafar’s brother and business partner Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons mastermind, collaborated with DGMI, the Iraqi spy agency that ran Unit 999.
Dr. Jafar and DGMI collaborated on covert operations to conceal Saddam’s and Dr. Jafar’s nuclear, chemical, and biological WMDs.
Russian intelligence services oversaw these WMD deception operations in order to ensure that Saddam’s and Dr. Jafar’s massive WMD military industrial complex was fully concealed and undetectable by U.S. defense and intelligence satellites and UN weapons inspectors .
Both Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar and the Iraqi intelligence service that ran Unit 999 reported directly to Saddam Hussein’s Presidential Secretary Lt. Gen. Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, a.k.a. ‘Saddam’s shadow,’ one of the most powerful regime figures within Saddam’s inner circle and another one of Dr. Jafar’s principal Iraqi WMD collaborators.
Dr. Jafar’s connections to DGMI, the Iraqi spy agency that ran Unit 999, are particularly concerning because they establish a connection between the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and Gulftainer, the Iraqi ports company that built their Port Canaveral container terminal adjacent to U.S. Navy Trident submarines, Canaveral Space Force Station, and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
‘John Doe No. 2’: Iraq’s Hussain Al-Hussaini And Unit 999 — Inside The Wire
Jayna Davis, a former television reporter for NBC’s Oklahoma City affiliate KFOR, which doubled as CNN’s local affiliate, was one of the first reporters on the scene of the bombing and told Lou Dobbs during a September 9, 2002 CNN interview:
Several witnesses, 22 in all, have signed sworn witness affidavits and positively identified eight Middle Eastern men acting in collusion with McVeigh and Nichols at various stages of the bombing plot. Those Middle Eastern men, the majority of whom are Iraqi soldiers. One soldier in particular, Lou, is Hussain Al-Hussaini, and he was identified by seven witnesses, tying him to Timothy McVeigh, the Ryder truck, downtown Oklahoma City and the getaway vehicle aggressively pursued by the FBI the morning of the bombing …
Immediately following the Oklahoma City bombing, the FBI issued an All Points Bulletin advising citizens and law enforcement to ‘be on the lookout” for a Middle Eastern-looking suspect. The FBI distributed a sketch of ‘John Doe No. 2.”
In the hours and days following the brutal Oklahoma City attack, military and intelligence analysts arrived at a near-unanimous conclusion — that the Oklahoma City bombing had the fingerprints of a sophisticated Middle Eastern terrorist operation.
Then, the story from the FBI changed.
“The [Oklahoma City] FBI bulletin was quickly and mysteriously withdrawn,” the Wall Street Journal reported. “The original warrant for John Doe No. 2 described a man with “a tattoo on his left arm.”
Davis, working with U.S. Army Colonel Patrick Lang (Ret.), identified Hussain Al-Hussaini as a member of Iraqi Unit 999.
Colonel Lang is the former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Director of Human Intelligence and Director of Middle East Analysis.
Davis and Colonel Lang initially connected Al-Hussaini to Saddam’s Republican Guard by studying a tattoo on Al-Hussaini’s left arm that depicts a snake wrapped around an anchor.
The FBI refused to accept Jayna Davis’ 22 sworn affidavits from witnesses who identified Al-Hussaini. The FBI never questioned any of the 22 witnesses nor interviewed Al-Hussaini, yet, the FBI never officially cleared Al-Hussaini.
Al-Hussaini, a former Iraqi soldier detained after the Gulf War in a desert POW camp in Saudi Arabia, entered the United States in 1994 as a self-proclaimed ‘refugee’ seeking asylum from Saddam’s regime.
“In the years following the Gulf War, the U.S. allowed 12,500 Iraqis to enter the U.S., including up to 6,000 ex–prisoners of war,” LA Weekly reported. Rob Frazier, a former U.S. State Department official in Saudi Arabia who dealt with refugees at the camp, including Republican Guard troops, “received many reports … alleging that the camp harbored ‘sleeper agents’ for Saddam Hussein.” “‘Remember, we really couldn’t background a lot of these guys,’” former U.S. Army intelligence officer Frazier said.
Unit 999’s elite espionage and terrorism recruits, carefully selected by the Iraqi intelligence services from Iraq’s Republican Guard and from Middle Eastern countries across the Islamic Bloc, received advanced training to prepare them for overseas bombings, airliner hijackings, and suicide missions.
Saddam’s intelligence services also provided Unit 999 soldiers with advanced training in weapons of mass destruction procurement and concealment operations and in the tactical use of conventional and unconventional weapons, including Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons of mass destruction.
The ‘United States Battalion’ of Iraqi Directorate of General of Military Intelligence Unit 999 sent dozens of undercover Iraqi special forces troops and intelligence agents into the United States and Canada, according to intelligence sources. By 2002, Unit 999’s United States Battalion had expanded to over 500 troops.
Unit 999 operative Al-Hussaini’s Oklahoma City co-conspirator Terry Nichols is connected to al-Qaeda terrorist Ramzi Yousef, a.k.a. Rashid, the Iraqi,’ who was convicted of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Terry Nichols travelled repeatedly between the United States and Cebu City, Philippines where Ramzi Yousef was planning and directing terrorist operations. Intelligence revealed that Nichols, a.k.a. ‘The Farmer,’ did not have the technical capability to create the bomb(s) that detonated at the Murrah Building or the funds to repeatedly travel to and from the Philippines.
In his book Others Unknown, Timothy McVeigh’s defense attorney Stephen Jones writes that Nichols met with Ramzi Yousef and that Yousef was “an Iraqi intelligence operative.” Bin Laden was in the Philippines at approximately the same time as Nichols and Yousef, according to Stephen Jones.
Al-Qaeda terrorist Ramzi Yousef, responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, is the maternal nephew of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM). KSM was apprehended and convicted as the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center twin towers and the Pentagon.
Gulftainer And Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s Connections To Unit 999
Rogue Iraqi nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar spearheaded Saddam Hussein’s secret nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment programs from the early 1970s until 2003.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar also oversaw technology transfer and procurement operations for Saddam’s chemical and biological warfare programs, CIA documents show.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar and Iraqi Directorate of General Military Intelligence (DGMI), a.k.a. al-Istikhbarat, the Iraqi spy agency that commands Unit 999 operatives, with assistance from Russian intelligence services, concealed Sadaam’s and Dr. Jafar’s nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare facilities, programs, and WMD stockpiles across Iraq’s 168,000 square miles of territory, and often outside of Iraq.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar set up and directed Iraq’s Tuwaitha nuclear complex, which Israel bombed in 1981. Undeterred, Dr. Jafar rebuilt Tuwaitha, prompting the U.S. Air Force to attack Dr. Jafar’s Tuwaitha nuclear site during its 1991 Package Q Airstrike, an Operation Desert Storm mission involving 78 U.S. military aircraft, two of which were shot down.
“After the 1981 Israeli raid on Iraq’s Osiraq [Osirak] nuclear research facility [a nuclear WMD facility at Tawaitha that was directed by Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar], [DGMI a.k.a.] al-Istikhbarat [the Iraqi spy agency that commands Unit 999] turned to the Soviet KGB for assistance. From 1982 to 1985, the KGB aided [DGMI a.k.a.] al-Istikhbarat in concealment and protection techniques of its military program and facilities, as well as strategic reconnaissance deception methods,” according to the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey.
Al-Amn al-Khas [the Iraqi Special Security Organization — S.S.O.] watched over the activities of [DGMI a.k.a.] al-Istikhbarat [the Iraqi spy agency that commands Unit 999] and the KGB during the Iran-Iraq War. The KGB advised these agencies in techniques of concealing covert weapons production facilities. It served as the central coordinating body between the Military-Industrial Commission [MIC] al-Istikhbarat [DGMI] and al-Mukhabarat, and the military in the covert procurement of the necessary components for Iraq’s WMD. During the 1991 Gulf War, it was put in charge of concealing SCUD missiles and afterwards, of moving and hiding documents from UNSCOM inspections relating to Iraq’s weapons programs. Based on these past activities, it would presumably continue these functions in the future.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar received decades of technical assistance from Soviet KGB officers and Russian Federation SVR and GRU intelligence officers, in coordination with Russian Ambassador to Iraq Yevgeny Primakov, a KGB/SVR superspy known as “The Bear in the Desert.”
According to John A. Shaw, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for International Technology Security, and Bill Tierney, the former head of the U.N weapons inspection team in Iraq, there were WMD in Iraq.
“I am absolutely sure that Russian Spetsnatz units moved WMD out of Iraq before the war,” stated John Shaw, Newsmax reported.
Former U.N. weapons inspector Bill Tierney explained during a CBN interview about the Saddam Tapes, audio recording of Saddam’s cabinet that Tierney translated for the FBI:
We showed that the Iraqis had no intention of ever complying with the U.N. Security Council Resolutions…
… It [The Saddam Tapes] ended up in my lap. And because I was a UN [weapons] inspector …one of these tapes, it was one briefing after the other, both for unconventional weapons of mass destruction and conventional
…They were still at war with us. It was a real eye opener … they had it [WMD]! …
… I was at CENTCOM for five years and during that time frame there was evidence that the Russians helped the Iraqis on a technical level. Now probably, earlier, they taught them how to conceal.
“The director of DGMI, Staff Lt. Gen. Zuhayr Talib ‘Abd-al-Sattar [Seven of Hearts in the Operation Iraqi Freedom Most Wanted Playing Card Deck], reported directly to the Presidential Secretary” Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, according to CIA documents.
Like DGMI’s director who commanded Unit 999, Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar also reported directly to Saddam’s Presidential Secretary Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, separate CIA documents confirm.
“Beyond President Saddam’s family circle, the key figures can be counted on one hand … By far the most important is the one with the most menial title – President Saddam’s secretary,” The Guardian reported. “[Presidential Secretary] Mahmoud … is the third or fourth most powerful person in Iraq, according to exiled dissidents.”
Further cementing Dr. Jafar’s ties to Unit 999 is intelligence out of Iraq that revealed that Dr. Jafar operated a massive biological warfare research lab and production line at Salman Pak, the secret Iraqi military base near Baghdad where Iraqi intelligence services trained Unit 999 spies and terrorists.
Iraqi bioweapons scientist Rihab Tata, known as ‘Dr. Germ,’ “rose to run a 150-person bio-weapon operation at the infamous Salman Pak facility, which inspectors once dubbed germ-warfare central,” according to a newswire story posted by UCLA’s Department of Epidemiology.
‘Dr. Germ’ is married to former Deputy Minister of the Military Industrial Commission Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s colleague, Amer Mohammad Rashid al-Ubaidi, the second of Saddam’s three former deputy ministers of the Iraqi Military Industrialization Commission.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, Osama bin Laden, Iraqi Unit 999, And Iraqi Chemical WMDs
Intelligence out of the Middle East separately reported that Iraqi Special Operation Group Unit 999 trained al-Qaeda in chemical warfare tactics and that Saddam sold chemical weapons manufactured by Dr. Jafar and Iraqi Lt. Gen. Dr. Amir al-Saadi to Osama bin Laden.
Al-Saadi, like Dr. Jafar, was one of Saddam’s three deputy ministers of military industrialization who served as Saddam’s WMD scientific advisers.
Al-Saadi, Saddam’s ‘chemical weapons expert and ‘Superweapons Czar,’ schemed with Dr. Jafar and Dr. Jafar’s brother, Gulftainer owner Hamid Dhia Jafar, in a plot known as ‘Oil-For-Superweapons’ to finance Saddam’s and Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare programs.
The Oil-For-Superweapons scheme led to multiple U.S. government investigations, including three Congressional committee investigations and a U.S. Treasury Department investigation.
In interviews with senior officials, the following picture emerged: American intelligence believes that Al Qaeda and Saddam reached a non-aggression agreement in 1993, and that the relationship deepened further in the mid-nineteen-nineties, when an Al Qaeda operative—a native-born Iraqi who goes by the name Abu Abdullah al-Iraqi—was dispatched by bin Laden to ask the Iraqis for help in poison-gas training. Al-Iraqi’s mission was successful, and an unknown number of trainers from an Iraqi secret-police organization called Unit 999 were dispatched to camps in Afghanistan to instruct Al Qaeda terrorists…
…According to several intelligence officials I spoke to, the relationship between bin Laden and Saddam’s regime was brokered in the early nineteen-nineties by the then de-facto leader of Sudan.
U.S. officials accused Iraqi WMD scientist Emad Husayn Abdullah al-Ani “of being involved with a Sudanese chemical [weapons] plant linked to Osama bin Laden,” according to the Sydney Morning Herald. Sample tests from that plant indicated a “smoking gun” for VX nerve gas, CNN reported.
Al-Ani, Hamid Dhia Jafar’s ‘Oil-For-Superweapons’ co-conspirator Lt. Gen. Dr. Amir al-Saadi, and Barack Obama’s Iraqi billionaire patron Nadhmi Auchi, were named as co-conspirators in MM Law’s 2018 human rights lawsuit filed in an Iraqi court on behalf of survivors of the 1988 Halabja chemical weapons genocide during which Saddam “gassed his own people.
The Obama administration, in a secret operation code-named ‘Project Pelican,’ brought Gulftainer inside the wire in 2014 when it awarded Gulftainer with a 35-year lease to the cargo container terminal at Florida’s Port Canaveral, stealthily bypassing the required National Security Threat Analysis and CFIUS review. Gulftainer went on to take over Delaware’s entire Port of Wilmington in a 50-year deal — without a CFIUS National Security Threat Analysis.
Gulftainer executive Badr Jafar, the son of Hamid Dhia Jafar and nephew of Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, visited the Obama White House on March 27, 2014, less than three months before Gulftainer and Port Canaveral simultaneously announced and signed the secretly-negotiated ‘Project Pelican” deal.
President Obama’s Pakistani college roommate Wahid Hamid was one of Hamid Dhia Jafar’s business partners at the now-collapsed private equity group called The Abraaj Group.
Lethal Threat: Iraq’s WMD, Gulftainer, Russia, And Club-K
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbUU_9bOcnM
A paradigmatic example of the application of Sun Tzu’s principle of deception in warfare is the Russian-designed WMD delivery system the Club-K (Klub-K). The Club-K appears to be a standard intermodal cargo container, though it delivers devastating weapons of mass destruction far beyond anything seen at Pearl Harbor or on 9/11.
Gulftainer entered into a joint-venture with ROSTEC / ROSOBORONEXPORT, the Russian state-owned weapons enterprise that exports the Club-K Container Missile System.
The network of Gulftainer’s connections to Russia’s Club-K, Iraq’s elite Unit 999 espionage and terrorism squads — exacerbated by Unit 999’s disturbing connections to the Oklahoma City bombing and al-Qaeda’s war planners Osama bin Laden, Ramzi Yousef, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, should register as even more alarming than the pre-9/11 chatter and blinking red lights.
Russia’s Trojan Horse Club-K Container Missile System can launch cruise missiles capable of travelling at supersonic speeds and evading U.S. missile defense systems.
U.S. missile defense systems look outward toward the Polar region and East, and West Coasts, but are not designed to detect cruise missiles launched from the interior of the United States.
A Club-K surprise attack could launch conventional, nuclear, EMP, chemical, and biological weapons from cargo containers positioned inside the United States and strike U.S. cities and U.S. military bases within minutes, or seconds, with no advance warning.
The effects of an EMP attack launched against the United States from Club-K ‘containers’ would be devastating. Destruction of the national power grid would severely degrade military readiness and rapidly lead to civil unrest and mass starvation.
“An EMP weapon is a civilization killer,” Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, a former CIA officer and Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security, told The American Report.
Saddam and the inner circle of his cabinet of which Dr. Jafar was a senior member, could be heard on the ‘Saddam Tapes,’ musing about a ‘terrorist,’ that could not be traced back to Baghdad, placing and detonating a chemical, biological, or nuclear weapon in Washington D.C.
That is exactly the type of mission for which the Iraqi DGMI Special Operations Group Unit 999 trained.
It remains unclear if current U.S. national security officials are aware of the connection between Gulftainer and Unit 999, the Iraqi special operation group that former senior intelligence and Pentagon officials suspected of being at the operational center of the Oklahoma City bombing plot — or if stay-behind Unit 999 sleeper cells remain inside the United States.
Coalition Provisional Authority Administrator Paul Bremmer ordered the Iraqi Directorate General of Military Intelligence (DGMI) be dissolved in 2003.
However, former Iraqi Directorate of Military Intelligence (DGMI) Lt. Col. Abu Muslim al Turkmani went on to become second-in-command to Islamic State Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and oversaw the caliphate’s Iraqi territory before he was killed in a U.S. drone strike, raising questions about how much of the DGMI’s secretive command structure remains intact .
Gulftainer and its affiliates exhibit many hallmarks of an Iraqi dual-use enterprise similar to Iraqi front companies that operated throughout Iraq’s WMD-industrial complex — companies capable of, on a dime, transitioning from legitimate commercial activity, to covert prohibited WMD activity, and back again to commercial activity.
Gulftainer may have already gone operational.
Gulftainer blockaded Wawa fuel tanker trucks transiting through the Port of Wilmington in April 2020, effectively cutting off fuel supplies to five northeastern states amid the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic.
In the next 9/11, hijacked aircraft could be replaced with dozens, hundreds, or thousands of Russian Club-K Container Missile Launching Systems.
Gulftainer, the Iraqi Jafar family’s container and seaports management company linked to Iraq’s WMD programs and to the Moscow exporter of Russia’s Club-K, a Trojan Horse container missile launching system, this week threatened U.S. fuel supply lines across five states amid the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic.
Gulftainer blockaded hundreds of Wawa fuel tanker trucks attempting to transit through Delaware’s Port of Wilmington to pick up petroleum products bound for hundreds of American-owned Wawa convenience stores and gas stations across the Northeast.
CLICK HERE TO READ THE LAWSUIT BUCKEYE PARTNERS LP FILED AGAINST GULFTAINER’S GT USA WILMINGTON FOR BLOCKADING WAWA’S FUEL TANKER TRUCKS AT DELAWARE’S PORT OF WILMINGTON DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Gulftainer, based in the United Arab Emirates, manages the Port of Wilmington under a 50-year lease that was never subjected to a National Security Threat Analysis or full CFIUS review.
Obama administration holdovers approved Gulftainers Port of Wilmington lease after the Obama administration approved Gulftainer’s first U.S. port deal at Florida’s Port Canaveral, also without a National Security Threat Analysis or full CFIUS review.
Gulftainer co-owner Hamid Dhia Jafar is the brother of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar and is in a joint venture with ROSTEC, the Russian weapons enterprise that exports the Club-K Container Missile System through its ROSOBORONEXPORT subsidiary, derogatory facts that should have precluded Gulftainer from receiving any lease to any U.S. port.
Delaware Chancery Court Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laste granted a temporary restraining order preventing Gulftainer subsidiary GT USA Wilmington from blocking fuel terminal operator Buckeye Partners LP and hundreds of Wawa tanker trucks from accessing a petroleum tank farm that supplies Wawa locations, considered “critical infrastructure” businesses during the pandemic.
Wawa, Pennsylvania-based Wawa operates over 800 convenience stores selling fuel and deli sandwiches
Gulftainer not only blockaded U.S. fuel supply lines during a National Emergency, they are attempting to extort $1 million from Buckeye Partners LP, the Houston-based operator of the petroleum tank farm located adjacent to the Port of Wilmington that stores fuel bound for Wawa locations across the Northeast. Specifically, Wawa delivers fuel from the Buckeye tank farm adjacent to the Gulftainer’s Port of Wilmington operations to Wawa locations throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
According to Buckeye’s complaint:
In an attempt to extract price concessions to which it is not entitled, GT USA Wilmington, LLC has blocked Buckeye’s customers from accessing the Port of Wilmington, Delaware (the “Port”) because Buckeye refuses to capitulate to GT’s demands. Buckeye owns fuel storage tanks (“Tanks”) adjacent to the Port which serve critical businesses deemed “essential” amidst the current COVID-19 pandemic, such as Wawa Wholesale Fuels, LLC, the distributor of gas to Wawa gas stations and convenience stores throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. GT’s blockade of the Port immediately disrupts the fuel supply chain to well over 200 retail gas stations throughout the five-state region … More disturbing—and likely the reason GT has pointed a proverbial gun at Buckeye’s head at this time—is the harm to the public interest if essential fuel supply chains for approximately 200 gas stations are disrupted during the throes of a global pandemic …
… Wawa Fuels fills on average 150 truckloads of fuel from the Tanks every day and is dependent on its use of the Tanks to deliver fuel throughout the region …
… On April 6, 2020, GT prevented Wawa Fuels’ trucks from entering the Port.
…GT’s Demand was shocking to Buckeye.
Buckeye maintains that they and their employees and their customer Wawa have the legal right of ingress and egress to Buckeye’s tank farm, located adjacent to the Port of Wilmington but off of port property.
“Buckeye Partners LP sued a Gulftainer Co. Ltd. affiliate in Delaware Monday, claiming the port operator is trying to extort $1 million in extra lease fees by barring access to fuel tanks bound for hundreds of Wawa gas stations operating as “essential infrastructure” during the coronavirus pandemic,” Bloomberg Law reported on April 6, 2020.
Keeping in line with mainstream news wires around the world, Bloomberg Law conspicuously failed to mention Gulftainer’s connections to Iraqi nuclear weapons mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar that The American Report first exposed in a September 22, 2016 exposé on Project Pelican. “Project Pelican” was the codename for the secretly-negotiated deal between Gulftainer and Port Canaveral under the Obama Administration.
Russia’s Club-K Container Missile System is a technologically advanced weapons system that hides four Russian Kalibr cruise missiles inside a standard intermodal cargo shipping container. Russia or other adversaries of the United States could smuggle Club-K Container Missile Systems through U.S. ports such as those controlled by Russia’s partner Gulftainer — Florida’s Port Canaveral and Delaware’s Port of Wilmington — and launch a preemptive cruise missile attack from inside the United States against U.S. military bases and cities. Club-K cruise missiles can deliver a variety of lethal payloads including conventional, nuclear, EMP, chemical, and biological warheads.
Russian spies are likely using the coronavirus pandemic as an opportunity to collect intelligence on U.S. supply lines, which have struggled to provide adequate medical equipment, according to an intelligence report issued earlier this week by the Department of Homeland Security…
… “Intelligence collection on medical supply chain vulnerabilities could inform future operations aimed at weakening key logistical elements in preparation for a wartime attack, or opportunistically during an emergency,” the document says.
Gulftainer Co-Owner Is Brother Of Saddam Hussein’s ‘Blacklisted’ Nuclear Weapons Mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar
Gulftainer, based in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, is co-owned by Hamid Dhia Jafar, the brother and business partner of rogue Iraqi nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons mastermind.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, as Iraq’s Deputy Defense Minister, oversaw Saddam’s entire nuclear weapons production complex as well as chemical and biological warfare production lines in Iraq and Sudan.
Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar led a secret Iraqi project called Petrochemical 3 (PC3), where he led Iraq’s uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons development programs, overseeing a team of 20,000 scientists and technicians, a workforce equal in size to that of the CIA. Dr. Jafar ran Iraq’s version of the Manhattan Project.
In 1990, the United States designated Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi regime a state sponsor of terrorism. By definition, Dr. Jafar’s nuclear weapons program, which remained active well into the 21st century, despite Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s duplicitous public denials, is a terrorist nuclear weapons program led by nuclear terrorist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar.
In 2003, the Pentagon placed Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar on U.S. Central Command’s Operation Iraqi Freedom classified ‘Blacklist’ as a Saddam regime high value target wanted by Coalition Forces for capture or kill. Dr.Jafar was designated an enemy of the United States.
In the late 1980’s, the Treasury Department and three Congressional committees investigated Hamid Dhia Jafar and his secretly hatched and highly illegal scheme with Iraq’s Superweapons Czar Lt. General Dr. Amir al-Saadi. The plot known as “Oil-For-Superweapons,” entailed selling Americans petroleum products at FINA service stations that, unknown to those American motorists, were produced with Saddam’s sanctioned oil in order to fund Saddam’s and Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar’s nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare programs.
‘Saddam Tapes’ Revealed That Saddam Hussein And His Cabinet, Of Which Dr. Jafar Was A Member, Wargamed Scenario In Which A ‘Terrorist’ Places A Nuclear Bomb In Washington D.C.
The “Saddam Tapes” are audio recordings of Saddam Hussein and his cabinet, of which Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar was a senior member. The tapes were captured by Coalition Forces and translated for the FBI around 2005-2006.
The Saddam Tapes revealed that Saddam and his cabinet wargamed a scenario in which “a terrorist” would detonate a nuclear weapon hidden in a car on the streets of downtown Washington, D.C.
Delaware’s Port of Wilmington is located 110 miles from Washington D.C. and 125 miles from New York City — within easy cruise missile range.
Gulftainer entered a joint venture called Gulftainer Russian Technologies with ROSTEC, the Russian state-owned weapons conglomerate that exports the Club-K Container Missile System through ROSTEC subsidiary ROSOBORONEXPORT.
Vladimir Putin attended the signing of Gulftainer’s joint venture deal with ROSTEC alongside Gulftainer executive Badr Jafar, Hamid Dhia Jafar’s son.
The Obama Administration Placed Gulftainer ‘Inside The Wire’ At Florida’s Port Canaveral. Obama Administration Holdovers Helped Gulftainer Take Over Delaware’s Port Of Wilmington
The Obama administration in 2014 initially placed Gulftainer, a company with connections to two of Barack Obama’s foreign student friends from his days at Occidental College in the 1980s — Vinai Thummalapally from India and Wahid Hamid from Pakistan — inside the wire at Florida’s Port Canaveral, adjacent to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and 1000 feet from U.S. Navy submarines armed with Trident II ballistic missiles.
Understand that the Middle Eastern Jafars, with ties to illegal nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, were granted a 35-year lease to Port Canaveral’s container terminal and a 50-year lease to the entire Port of Wilmington, with neither deal being subjected to the required National Security Threat Analysis and CFIUS review.
Gulftainer cited Florida’s Port Canaveral 35 year lease as precedent to attain the 50-year lease to the entire Port of Wilmington. Both strategic ports are considered critical infrastructure and should be held to the highest national security standards.
On April 6, 2018, the very same day that Delaware’s Port of Wilmington voted to lease its facilities to Gulftainer for 50 years, President Trump slapped sanctions on ROSOBORONEXPORT, the Russian subsidiary of Gulftainer joint-venture partner ROSTEC that exports the Club-K Container Missile System, thereby making the Port of Wilmington lease illegal under the CFIUS law.
Gulftainer’s blackmail threat against Buckeye Partners / Wawa, in the midst of the Chinese Coronavirus Pandemic, is Exhibit A that the enemy is inside the wire. The question remains, how vast and widespread is Gulftainer’s criminal operation?
