Russia’s Pearl Harbor 2.0 Asymmetrical War Plans, Gulftainer, Club-K, and EMP

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones

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.    More


Port of Wilmington Deal with UAE/Iraqi-owned GULFTAINER Moves Forward; Peter Richards Denies Russia and Terrorism Connections

By Mary Fanning  and Alan Jones | April 11, 2018

On Friday, April 6, 2018, the Board of Directors of Delaware’s Diamond State Port Corporation voted unanimously to transfer control of the Port of Wilmington, Delaware, a major strategic U.S. port, to UAE-based GULFTAINER through a $580 million 50-year lease.

Twelve years ago the UAE’s Dubai Ports World pulled out of a deal to take over operations at six U.S. ports amid congressional investigations and intense public scrutiny. More


Exclusive THE REAL RUSSIA STORY: Port Canaveral “Project Pelican” and Uranium One Deals Connected through the Jafars

 

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | February 5, 2018

 

Gulftainer is connected to the Uranium One deal.

Gulftainer is the Iraqi Jafar family’s UAE-based ports company that is tightly connected to Russia and Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons programs.

In 2014 the Obama administration awarded Gulftainer with a 35-year lease to Florida’s Port Canaveral cargo container terminal in a secret deal code-named “Project Pelican.”

In 2011,  Gulftainer affiliate Crescent Investments partnered via a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Russia’s state-owned power station operator and electricity import-export monopoly Inter RAO UES.

At that time, Inter RAO UES was a subsidiary of Russia’s Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation. Rosatom is the Russian company that purchased Uranium One. More


Our Muslim Brotherhood President … and their Presidential Candidate

Islam is the Solution, Allah is our objective; the Qur’an is the Constitution; the Prophet is our leader; jihad is our way; death for the sake of Allah is our wish.

– Motto of the Al-Ikhwan al-Mooslimoon (Society of Muslim Brothers, aka Muslim Brotherhood)

 

This week, we were reminded by a number of media outlets of Presidential Study Directive Eleven (PSD-11). This document, issued in 2011, ordered a re-assessment of the nation’s allies in the Middle East, and, ordered the U.S. to ally itself with the Muslim Brotherhood, an international terrorist organization.

The implications of PSD-11 and of this alliance are both breathtaking and horrifying. They explain much of Obama’s presidency.

A History of Terrorism and Genocide

The Muslim Brotherhood came into existence in the 1920s as the Arab version of the Nazi Party. The founder of the Brotherhood in Palestine was the Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini. Husseini, a personal friend of Heinrich Himmler, was directly involved with encouraging and implementing the Holocaust. Indeed, the Mufti is remembered today for his famous proclamation of “Kill the Jews!,” and his incognito inspection of Auschwitz’s gas chambers.

In more modern times, the Muslim Brotherhood is responsible for creating most of the world’s most infamous terrorist organizations, including Hamas, Al Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, and the Taliban. The current leader of Al Qaeda is the Muslim Brother Ayman al-Zawahiri. Zawahiri was Osama bin Laden’s spiritual mentor. In a similar fashion, the leadership and founders of these other bloody Sharia groups trace their origins to the international Muslim Brotherhood.

Terrorist-Tied Front Organization in United States

The Muslim Brotherhood operates an extensive and mature network of “civic” and “religious” organizations within the United States. Groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Muslim Students Association (MSA), the Muslim American Society (MAS), among others, have long histories of apologizing for terrorism and preaching the ideology that promotes it.

Like the terrorist groups above that trace their creation to the Muslim Brotherhood, so do their America-based front groups. The Muslim Brotherhood, which Obama mandated as America’s ally, is the umbrella organization for the terror groups and the front groups.

An analysis of seven high ranking Obama administration officials who were suspected of being Muslim Brotherhood operatives identified a strong correlation between the individuals and the front groups named above. See here for an article that documents these affiliations. The analysis concluded that the policies of the administration were in many cases directly influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood to their benefit.

This helps explain the reception that CAIR recently gave a terrorist freed by the Obama administration.

 

Attacks on Liberty at Home, Destruction and Genocide Abroad

The consequences of the alliance between the Obama administration and the Muslim Brotherhood are in plain sight for those looking. As their Nazi roots suggest, the Muslim Brotherhood Obama administration has restricted freedoms at home and wreaked havoc abroad.

Some of the policies and scandals that are a direct result of this alliance include:

  • The Arab Spring and ongoing Christian genocide across the Middle East and North Africa
  • The United States catastrophic loss of allies worldwide (particularly in the Middle East), as a consequence of destabilizing secular governments
  • Negotiating with Iran, which will allow them to obtain nuclear capabilities
  • Benghazi arms running to Syrian terrorists, and the murder of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens
  • The push for amnesty and the legalization (including voting rights) of millions who have entered the United States illegally
  • IRS targeting of conservative 501(c)(3) groups, and the retroactive approval of a Muslim Brotherhood-linked charity run by Obama’s half-brother, Malik Obama
  • Administration policy of considering “Patriot” groups and “sovereign citizens” as the top domestic terror threat; the purging of law enforcement and counterterrorism training of any mention of “Islam” or “Muslims”
  • A government that is ever more secretive regarding the legislative process. Laws that encompass a broader and broader scope of daily activity, including strict regulations on commerce, private property (think of the EPA), and labor policies.

Committed to Revolution

The Muslim Brotherhood’s Arab Spring revolutionary movement was largely stopped when the Egyptians overthrew Mohamed Morsi. Tunisia, which had also been in tumult due to the Muslim Brotherhood Ennahda Movement, has since elected a sane, responsible government. Syria and Libya remain in civil wars. In both countries, Obama has the United States allied with the Islamic jihadis rather than the more secular powers.

Since taking power, Morsi’s successor, President Sisi has bravely challenged the clerics of Al Azhar, Islam’s most prestigious theological school. Sisi wishes to reform Islam and bring it into the modern era. Specifically, Sisi does not want Islam to view other faiths as threats to be eliminated by jihad (holy war). Indeed, Sisi is working closely with the Israelis and Saudis to counter jihadis from Libya to Yemen.

Nevertheless, despite the enormous failure of the Arab Spring and the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives it has claimed, the Muslim Brotherhood recently reiterated its intent to remain violently defiant of the Egyptian government. There is little doubt that they would like to assassinate Sisi, as they did President Sadat, and as they tried with President Nasser.

As the most populous Arab country, Egypt, fights these barbarians, what does Obama do? To the great dismay of President Sisi, and undoubtedly the rest of the civilized world, the administration intends on meeting the Muslim Brotherhood (again) in Washington.

(Note: Following pressure from the Egyptian government, the State Department is now denying a meeting was ever planned. The lies continue.)

Preparing for the Second Empire

In the flurry of scandalous details that have come forth in the past several months relating to the Clinton Foundation, one critical angle on the story has largely been ignored: the links between the Clintons and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Hillary Clinton was, after all, Secretary of State during the Arab Spring.

Among the avalanche of shady and undisclosed donations to the Clinton Foundation were many from the Middle East, and a significant donation from the State of Qatar. This small Gulf state is the home to the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, and is the most prolific financial sponsor or terror in the region.

  • In 2013, the Clinton Foundation reported donations by the Qatari government of between $1 – $5 million.
  • Also in 2013, the Clinton Foundation partnered with the Qatari state-owned telecom company Ooredoo for market research in Myanmar. As they state in the press release, the program will help “offer critical insights into the socio-economic benefits of greater inclusion of women in the telecommunications sector.” (Question: Does this strike you as a pay-to-play arrangement?)
  • The cesspool of corruption, FIFA, involves the Muslim Brotherhood and the Clintons. Qatar is scheduled to host the World Cup in 2022. To build the huge number of stadiums required for the event, the Qataris have hired Albert Speer Jr., the son of Hitler’s architect and personal friend, Albert Speer. Construction is underway with imported slave labor.
  • The Clintons accepted donations from FIFA, which last month had several officials indicted by the FBI. They also hosted Qatari officials on stage at a Clinton Global Initiative event, which was sponsored by the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee.

Personally, the ties between the Clintons and the Muslim Brotherhood couldn’t be closer. Huma Abedin has been Hillary’s aide for many years, and her relationship with the Clintons goes back to when Bill and Hillary were in the White House. So close is she to the Clinton family that they have referred to her as their “surrogate” daughter. Huma’s parents have a long and documented history with Islamic dawa organizations (i.e., organizations that advance sharia law worldwide), and Huma was part of the (Muslim Brotherhood-founded) Muslim Students Association at George Washington University.

Clintons Compromise the Nuclear Submarine Fleet: The Case of Gulftainer

Since the release of Peter Schweitzer’s book Clinton Cash, which have been greatly bolstered by the deep and ongoing financial investigation by Charles Ortel, the sensible public understands that the Clintons have no scruples, in accounting or life. For money, the couple will do anything, including sell out the country.

Now the Clintons’ fingerprints have been found on a deal to lease one of the most sensitive national ports to an Arab shipping company with ties to Iranian-backed terrorism.

Gulftainer, a shipping company based out of the United Arab Emirates, obtained a 35 year lease to operate Port Canaveral. Because the deal is based on a lease (i.e., not outright ownership), it received no national security review.

  • Port Canaveral is home to NASA, a nuclear submarine base, Patrick Air Force Base, and numerous other national security installations!
  • The deal was rubberstamped by Treasury Secretary, Jacob Lew, a Clinton family friend.
  • Gulftainer was implicated by Iraqi officials in delivering weapons to Iranian-backed terrorists in Iraq (specifically the Badr Brigade, which is responsible for the deaths of many American soldiers).

The same week that details began to emerge on Gulftainer’s operating proximity to NASA, the United Arab Emirates announced a new space program. Obama had given NASA instructions to make Muslims “feel good” about accomplishments.

Ask yourself: Could all this be cosmic coincidence?

Hillary would be Obama’s the Muslim Brotherhood’s Third and Fourth term

Secretary of State Clinton was a leading American voice in the Arab Spring. When it came to Libya, now the base of operations for ISIS and the major destabilizing area in Northern Africa, Hillary was the decisive voice. It was her State Department which ushered Libyan weapons to Syrian terrorists, resulting in the deaths of Americans in Benghazi, and likely many more we don’t know the names of.

As the above sketch of the Gulftainer affair makes clear, the Clintons are at best utterly reckless, and at worst flat-out traitors. If the public considers the Clintons patriotic Americans, fit to lead the country yet again, they might as well dig up Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and give them Presidential Medals of Freedom.

Regrettably, the Clintons’ behavior is not aberrant in the age of Obama. It is consistent with the actions of the current administration, which has steadfastly done the bidding of the Muslim Brotherhood, both at home and abroad.

PSD-11, the official document that established this devilish alliance, is the merely the paperwork. We now live in the country, and the world, that PSD-11 helped to create.

America’s strategic infrastructure compromised: Did Clinton pay-to-play arrangement hand over port container operations inside national security nexus to wealthy foreign associates?

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | May 24, 2015

NOTE: This article originally appeared at 1776channel.com

Beginning next month, ocean shipping container operations at Florida’s deep-water Port Canaveral, teeming with U.S. Navy nuclear submarines, NATO-ally nuclear submarines, and record numbers of cruise ships, and situated close to Kennedy Space Center, will be controlled by Gulftainer, a foreign company from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with close ties to former President Bill Clinton.

Port Canaveral is home to critical national security operations and infrastructure. A plethora of space and defense installations and programs, many of them highly classified, are situated either inside the port or within the immediate vicinity:

• NASA Kennedy Space Center and Visitor Complex
• Patrick Air Force Base
• Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
• U.S. Navy Trident submarine base (Trident Turning Basin)
• Top secret Air Force space plane
• National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) spy satellites
• Department of Defense/Boeing GPS satellites
• SpaceX resupply missions to the International Space Station
• SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket
• NASA Orion deep space capsule project and test launches
• United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy Rocket
• United Launch Alliance Atlas V Rocket
• Nuclear submarines resupply operations
• Lockheed Martin Fleet Ballistic Missile Eastern Ranger Operations
• Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) – Seismic, hydroacoustic and satellite monitoring of nuclear treaty signatory nations
• Air Force Space Command/45th Space Wing
• Air Force 920th Rescue Wing (Combat Search and Rescue)
• Craig Technologies Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing Center
• Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS)
• U.S. Coast Guard Station Port Canaveral
• Department of Homeland Security – Customs and Border Protection
• Numerous defense contractors (too many too list)

The Gultainer deal, which has alarmed the military, was approved by Treasury Secretary Jacob ‘Jack’ Lew, a former senior adviser to President Clinton.

An unnamed source tells 1776 Channel that “the defense establishment is unhappy” about the deal between Gulftainer and Port Canaveral.

Gulftainer’s exclusive arrangement with Port Canaveral was negotiated in secret under the code name ‘Project Pelican.’

The 35-year lease grants Gulftainer exclusive rights to operate an intermodal container terminal inside Port Canaveral, near sensitive Department of Defense and NASA installations.

Recently-installed Port Canaveral CEO John Walsh concealed the Pelican Project and the identity of Gulftainer from the public until June 24, 2014, by which time Gulftainer officials from the UAE had already arrived in Florida for a signing ceremony.

The abruptly-announced deal between Gulftainer and the port immediately became a lightning rod for criticism due to multiple 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, Chief of Staff to Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), when asked today by 1776 Channel to comment on the “We can’t be racist” argument made by CEO Wash last summer, objected strongly:

“That claim is b***s**t — only an irrelevant and ignorant person would say that.” – Joe Kasper – Chief of Staff to Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA)

Rep. Hunter sits on the House Armed Services Committee and is also chairman of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee.

Last summer Port Canaveral CEO John Walsh and other port authority officials appeared to dodge questions about the deal from the conservative Washington Times.

The connections between the wealthy UAE family that owns Gulftainer and former President Bill Clinton and his associate Jack Lew appear to have remained undetected last summer, despite the availability of information from open-source documents and websites.

Treasury Secretary Lew eventually rubber-stamped the controversial Gulftainer deal with no national security oversight or review.

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) of the House Armed Services Committee opposed the Gulftainer lease on national security grounds. Rep. Hunter expressed his concerns about Gulftainer in a letter to Secretary Lew, to no avail.

Hunter’s Chief of Staff Joe Kasper also commented today to 1776 Channel about the absence of a Gulftainer – Port Canaveral deal national security review:

“There were no assurances whatsoever that this … arrangement was thoroughly reviewed and considered for national security risks. The request was made but I don’t think the administration gave it any real attention” – Joe Kasper, Chief of Staff to Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA)

Gulfainer USA (GT USA) is a unit of UAE’s privately-held intermodal container terminal operator Gulftainer, which in turn is a unit of Crescent Enterprises, part of the Crescent Group conglomerate.

The UAE’s Jafar family, which owns and controls both the Crescent Group and Gulftainer, has both direct and indirect connections to former President Clinton, a 1776 Channel investigation has discovered.

Two brothers, Majid Jafar and Badr Jafar, stand at the helm of the Jafar family business empire.

Majid Jafar, 38, is CEO of UAE-based Crescent Petroleum, the petroleum unit of the Crescent Group.

Badr Jafar, 35, is Managing Director of the Crescent Group, President of Crescent Petroleum and CEO of Crescent Enterprises, the parent of Gulftainer.

Majid co-Chairs, alongside former President Clinton, Business Backs Education, a United Nations UNESCO-run global educational campaign. The campaign is funded by the Varkey GEMS foundation, a contributor to the Clinton Global Initiative.

“THE VARKEY GEMS FOUNDATION HAS HELPED TO FACILITATE MORE THAN 2,300 COMMITMENTS THROUGH THE CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE TO DATE. UPON FUNDING AND IMPLEMENTATION, THESE COMMITMENTS WILL HAVE A TOTAL VALUE OF OVER $70 BILLION.” – VARKEY FOUNDATION WEBSITE

Majid Jafar met with former President Bill Clinton and other global leaders, including the Director-General of UNESCO , at the Global Education and Skills Forum, held in Dubai from March 15-17, 2014.

A group photograph taken during the forum provides key evidence that Crescent executive Majid Jafar not only served as co-Chair of the Business Backs Education campaign alongside former President Bill Clinton, but also physically stood next to former President Clinton at a time when Gulftainer was secretly seeking to establish operations at Port Canaveral. That deal would soon require approval from Clinton’s long-time friend, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.

“It has been my honor to know Jack, his wife and his family for a long time now” Bill Clinton told an audience at the Clinton Global Initiative’s CGI America 2013 conference in Chicago. Clinton interviewed Secretary Lew on stage during that event.

Treasury Secretary Lew granted approval to the Port Canaveral Gulftainer deal, without a national security review, on September 26, 2014, almost exactly six months after Bill Clinton and Crescent Petroleum CEO Majid Jafar stood on stage together at the Global Education & Skills Forum 2014 in Dubai.

American Shipper announced that “in an e-mail to American Shipper, Canaveral Port Director John Walsh said he has been notified by the Treasury Department that the concession agreement with Gulftainer is considered a simple lease, not an asset sale, and does not warrant further review on national security grounds.”

The question is, did Bill Clinton engage the Jafars/Crescent in quid pro quo skid-greasing to ram the Gulftainer deal through the U.S. Treasury Department in exchange for the Clinton’s favorite commodity: cash?

The Clintons have a history of accepting money in the UAE.

“Bill and Hillary Clinton have carefully cloaked the foreign money they’ve accepted in the garb of charitable fundraising. But alongside the hundreds of millions donated to the Clinton Foundation were tens of millions in personal income from foreign sources, devoid of disguise, a naked example of using political power for personal enrichment. Nowhere has this transaction been as apparent as in the Clintons’ relationship with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In return for millions in speaking and consulting fees, which went right into their personal bank accounts, the former president and former secretary of State — and possible future president — showered favors on the rulers that run this repressive and anti-Semitic government.” – Quote from opinion piece by Dick Morris, former adviser to President Bill Clinton, published on March 17, 2015 at TheHill.com

It is an established fact that Bill and Hillary Clinton have demonstrated little to no interest in protecting U.S. national security. The reality is quite the opposite, in fact.

Case in point: Bill Clinton’s “transfer of sensitive missile technology to China.”

Helping Arab companies trying to get an initial toehold on a U.S. port is not a new phenomenon for Bill Clinton either. “Bill Clinton helped Dubai on ports deal” headlined the Financial Times in 2006.

Badr Jafar reportedly dated supermodel Naomi Campbell from 2005 until 2006 according to the New York Daily News.

Campbell was romantically linked to Bill Clinton in 2002 by the London Evening Standard, citing a report from the New York Post, although Campbell’s representatives denied the allegations.

Campbell reportedly flew aboard now-convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s aircraft with President Clinton in 2002, according to flight logs.

Handing over a critically sensitive, strategically important port that plays an integral role in America’s national security infrastructure, that is laden with military and government installations, to a foreign entity, is an invitation to terrorism.
