Arab Oil Money - Toxic Cocktail

()
About this ebook
Arab Oil Money is highly toxic. It poses a direct threat to European security and survival.
The most astonishing fact is that Europe does not need Arab Oil. The incredible wealth transfer is unnecessary and has been grossly abused.
European consumers are in fact forced to pay for their own destruction.
There is only one solution – to confiscate all Arab Oil Money and stop sending any more.

Hezbollah – Cuckoo in the Nest
In the book Catalonia - Way to conflict the author offered the scenario of Hezbollah and Iran using an independent Catalonia - a region in Northern Spain bordering France with 7.5 million inhabitants and a radicalized Muslim minority of 500,000 - as a steppingstone into Europe.
In Catalonia – Way to Conflict the author offered this and similar scenarios as one of the key reasons for the European political elites and the European institutions to shy away from granting the fanatised pro-independentist Catalans support for a nation state in the northern Spanish region.
The security risks for Europe of such an alliance are quite simply terrifying.
In the book Hezbollah – Cuckoo in the Nest we look more at what is Hezbollah, what are its criminal activities in Europe and how do they affect Europe.
We then look at the possible role it could play in an independent Catalonia or in a similar situation.
Hezbollah is one of the most dangerous terror organizations in the World.
It has killed more Americans than any other terror organization. European leaders have entered an understanding with Hezbollah that in return for not committing terror on European soil Hezbollah has been allowed to operate freely and use its European networks to fund terror elsewhere and to procure weapons and parts for Iran’s secret WMD programs.
This is against international law, against European law, against all European norms and values.
These are gross violations that should have had the European political elites react long time ago.
The financial institutions, the European FSAs and the prosecutors have all failed completely to protect their fellow citizens. It is likely to prove a very costly mistake and it is primarily the European populations than will be paying

Introduction
What subject will immediately earn you dangerous labels like white supremacists
, ultra right wing
and neo-nazi
, not to say more benevolent ones such as racist
, islamophobe
- yes, correct.
Anything less than praising all Muslims and asking to come here to Europe to stay.
Why is that?
There is only one obvious answer – the power of money.
As examined in the books Radical Islam and Compliance in Financial Institutions, Catalonia – way to conflict and Hezbollah – Cuckoo in the Nest Islamic Salafi-Wahhabi ideology is a very serious threat to the Western world.
It is not the first time in history.
Actually, the West has been at war with Islam almost from the start. And it was not the West that started this war. Only after oil was discovered and widely used was the West not formally at war with the Muslim countries – business was imperative.
The horrible truth today is, however, that the Muslim ideologists are taking over the Western world for our own money.
The European political and business elites are so close with the Arab Oil Money that they refuse to acknowledge the threat to Western civilization.
These elites are also trying to throttle all protests from the ordinary Europeans against the islamification of the European countries.
Whether this conflict can be resolved via the ballot box will be seen perhaps quite soon – in Catalonia, in Austria, in Italy – even in Germany.
In the meantime the media are fighting furiously for the Arab Oil Money and the European Institutions are also using whatever means they have to throttle all protest.
But the Europeans do not really know what they are up against, and the time is running out.

Power in the board room
Investors usually want influence that goes with the investment stake.
If you take a large position in a company it is not always only because you want to place your money at good rates, growth, dividend or whatever the usual investor goal you have.
It may be because you want to have a say in the running of the company and be able to influence it.
Perhaps your influence is discreet.
Maybe the other board members just whisper in the corridors as you arrive to the meeting.
The reader can check this in any number of books on Mergers and Acquisitions – see for example Robert F Brunner- Applied Mergers and Acquisitions, Wiley Finance, Hoboken New Jersey 2014 chapter 26.
When Qatar, a small Arab Oil country on the Persian Gulf coast of the Arabian peninsula took a 13 per cent stake in the German Auto maker VW Volkswagen AG, it was not just to invest in efficient German manufacturing, in an industrial stock with a long term perspective.
VW Volkswagen AG took a strategic decision – it wanted to continue to make and sell petrol and especially Diesel cars – which benefitted shareholder Qatar as an oil producer.
VW Volkswagen board decided not to invest in electric cars.
In order to justify this decision against the evidence of Climate Change and Global Warming VW Volkswagen AG developed and installed a sneaky little piece of software in its Diesel cars sold to America, in order to fool the EPA – the Environmental Protection Agency. An executive admitted the fraud, 4 Aug 2017.
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-40829900
Unfortunately for VW Volkswagen the fraud was discovered. It cost the company well over 30 billion USD.
Some corporate officers have been charged with criminal offences.
The board members, however, walk free.
They could just as well have entered into a strategic partnership with another German industrial giant, Siemens or Danish Vestas, to develop the electric car and the distribution network for automotive electricity.
They did not.
Similarly, when Qatar has taken a 50 per cent stake in BIL Bank – Banque International de Luxembourg, where the other big shareholder is the Archduke of Luxembourg, that is likely not just to have efficient management of their investments.
It is a strategic decision to protect the Qatar strategy.
Qatar also owns KBL Private Bank in Luxembourg.
Although Luxembourg is number two in the World in investment funds, after the United States, it is still a small place.
It only has half a million inhabitants and is smaller than Rhode Island.
There are more than 28.000 employees in the financial sector in Luxembourg, so it is pretty important.
Luxembourg introduced sharia finance sukuk in 2002 to placate Muslim investors.
Qatar also owns CargoLux, the big air cargo company. Qatar has its own daily flights to Luxembourg, huge Boing 747s that can be seen glide down over the skyline of Luxembourg city, following the ILS to the airport.
But Qatar also owns a sizeable chunk – abt. A third - of Credit Suisse AG in Switzerland – the number two bank there and one of the largest banks in the World.
This bank has funneled an awful lot of money into both Europe and the United States.
Among other known investors in Europe is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
As of 2016, Alwaleed held a five-percent stake in 21st Century Fox, Fox News’ parent company. Kingdom Holding does not currently own significant stakes in 21st Century Fox. Alwaleed is known to have invested through his fund, Kingdom Holding, in Apple, Lyft, Twitter and other high-profile companies. Kingdom Holding manages more than $12.5 billion of investments around the world.
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/11/06/billionaire-prince-held-in-5-star-hotel-amid-sweeping-saudi-purge-reports-say.html
Prince Alwaleed's many investments include Twitter, Apple, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., Citigroup, and the Four Seasons, Fairmont and Movenpick hotel chains. He is also an investor in ride-sharing services Lyft and Careem.
The historically interested economists will remember how surplus Arab Oil Money was channeled into the United States and lent to almost every second American on easy terms via their credit cards.
The credit card holders all thought they had become rich – but loans are supposed to be paid back.
When the lenders tried to call in the loans, America almost choked. How can you pay back several years’ spending in 30 days – how can you pay back a credit card balance of 100,000 USD if you are earning 75,000 USD and you have a car, perhaps a mortgage and the property market is rising, increasing your rent every year if you are not an owner?
But the other side effects of the Arab Oil Money are often not talked about.
In the book Radical Islam and Compliance in Financial Institutions it was shown that most Arab Oil countries – or some of their rich citizens and their NGOs – non profit organizations – send money to radical Islamic networks that later commit or appear to make others commit terrorist acts against Europeans.
Terror is not the only problem.
Another is the transfer – immigration – of large groups of Muslims to European countries – in so large numbers that – coupled with their significantly higher birth rates – it becomes a demographic problem that will transform the European countries to Lebanese or Syria types of states, where large and potentially radical Muslim groups take over or trying to take over the country.
This has caused civil war and mass persecution, slaughter and flight of Christians – in countries like Lebanon, Syria and Iraq which have almost no Christians left.
The problem is – where are the European Christians to flee to?
Can they flee to the United States that took in Russian Jews and the German and Polish Jews that managed to escape the Holocaust?
Can they flee to Russia?
Very few Western media are talking about the similar problem in South Africa where the white Boers not only are a minority but have ceded control to the Black Africans.
South Africa was supposed to be a powerful example to the world of how a country could move past racial divisions and become a
rainbow nation."
But with Nelson Mandela long dead and a worsening economy, it looks more likely South Africa is on the way to becoming another Zimbabwe.
One author says it’s time for the United States to start admitting white South Africans as refugees to the United States – before things escalate to genocide."

The latest, alarming news is that the Black Africans want to confiscate the white farmer’s land without compensation.
SOUTH Africa’s parliament has voted in favour of a motion that will begin the process of amending the country’s Constitution to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation.
The motion was brought by Julius Malema, leader of the radical Marxist opposition party the Economic Freedom Fighters, and passed overwhelmingly by 241 votes to 83 against. The only parties who did not support the motion were the Democratic Alliance, Freedom Front Plus, Cope and the African Christian Democratic Party.
It was amended but supported by the ruling African National Congress and new president Cyril Ramaphosa, who made land expropriation a key pillar of his policy platform after taking over from ousted PM Jacob Zuma earlier this month.
http://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/world-economy/the-time-for-reconciliation-is-over-south-africa-votes-to-confiscate-whiteowned-without-compensation/news-story/a8a81155995b1adc1c399d3576c4c0bc
The other option is that there will be a terrible civil war and the two sides will reduce each other.
The media will flow over with pictures of small children caught in civil war and it will not only be radical Sunni Islamic children from Raqqa. It will be European Christian and atheist children.
The reader believes perhaps that peaceful coexistence is possible?
This is precisely what the European political and business elites have been telling their populations.
But this belies what is written in the Quran and what is being taught in Dawa by the Wahhabi-Salafi ideologists.
If the radical Muslims do not themselves believe that peaceful coexistence is possible, why must the Christians believe it?

American Airlines has received an unsolicited
approach from Qatar Airways which wants to acquire 10% of the US carrier.
In a regulatory filing, American Airlines said Qatar intended to buy at least $808m (£638m) of its shares. American Airlines said it would respond in due course
.
Shares in American Airlines, which is the biggest airline in the world, initially rose 5%, but fell back to a 1.1% rise by the end of trading.
US companies, including American Airlines, have also pressured the White House to take action against Qatar Airways and other Gulf airlines, which they say receive unfair government subsidies.

Energy as a strategic problem
A girl called the author 8 March 2018 from number – 44 – 20 80 86 19 71 London to invite the author to participate in the IPO (Initial Public Offering) for Aramco – the World’s largest oil company. She promised the author that the share would rise steeply right after the IPO and he would make a packet!
What Saudi Arabia is doing is to widen the number of stakeholders to ensure that Europe is kept hooked on their oil.
Nobody gives good money away, except for a reason. Not even Bill Gates, and he continues to extract money from everybody, having changed the Office package to an annual subscription from outright ownership of licence.
A Rachel Nuwer, a journalist, was hired by bbc to promote the usual Communist ideology that Europe should give away all its money to stop further immigration into Europe. She claimed Europe would retract all its resources from the poor countries.
What Rachel Nuwer especially failed to show is that resources in this context first of all means energy. Energy is still predominantly imported carbon from the Arab Oil countries and Russia.
- How Western civilisation could collapse - by Rachel Nuwer
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170418-how-western-civilisation-could-collapse
Apart from that it is food and water. It is technology. Rachel Nuwer also failed to show how Europe could be almost instantaneously independent of these destabilizing carbon energy imports, by switching to renewables.
The Western civilizations have the technology to do that, and in doing it would create precisely the growth and employment, and both short term investment generated employment as well as long term maintenance employment that would equal to the growth factor in Benjamin Friedman’s model.
The European Union invited the author many years ago now to bid for a strategic analysis of energy supply but then called off the bid, without any compensation. The functionaries apparently wanted to map the strategic risks in their own views and not risk any independent input.

Arab Oil Money as a security problem
Using the oil money to fund and incite Radical Islam ideology raises the security problems for Europeans all the time – not only abroad but inside Europe.
This is clearly intolerable and a clear abuse of all the money we send to them.

A drone pilot was arrested on Sunday for allegedly flying a drone over two football stadiums in California, prompting an investigation by federal, state and local law enforcement. The suspect, who was not immediately identified, used a drone to distribute anti-media leaflets over NFL crowds during the game between the 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.
If they dropping leaflets, they can drop anything really if you think about it and it's kind of scary to think that someone can just fly something over during the game and nobody can really stop it,
Ariana Rivera, a 49ers fan, told local KGO-TV station.The drone enthusiast broke a number of laws by flying the device over the stadiums. It is illegal to fly a drone within five miles of an airport and local laws in Santa Clara bans any drones within 500 yards of a facility, according to the police chief. Both stadiums were within the five mile radius of an airport.
http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2017/11/27/drone-drops-leaflets-over-football-stadiums-raising-security-concerns.html
So – are the terrorists concerned with breaking the law? The obvious answer is – No, they are not. Terror IS breaking the law. Breaking the law before the terrorist attack can foil the attack itself.
This appears to have brought on the Barcelona attack 17 August 2017 on the pedestrians on the Rambla – the gas canisters had blown the house apart and stopped the attack on La Sagrada Familia. If attaining their goal involves breaking the law, apart from the terrorist act itself, that is in their optics completely permissible.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Barcelona_attacks
Only their version of sharia law counts.
Many terrorists have clearly stated that they don’t recognize our laws and our courts, anyway.
This is partially because the myth of Al-Andalus, the Muslim kingdom that existed in most of Spain for almost 800 years (711-1492), is still present in the minds of all parties involved. That is one of the reasons that offers to build mosques by the wealthy Gulf States have so far not been accepted.
Spain, including Catalonia, is especially attractive in the eyes of the Arabs, writes Cembrero.
For them, it's not the same investing their petrodollars in building a mosque in Berlin, the city with the largest Muslim presence in Europe, or in Barcelona, which was part of Al-Andalus from 801."

Having locked Europe into Arab Oil there is no strategic freedom to set foreign or even national policy.
Canadian right-wing journalist and activist Lauren Southern says she was detained in the French port town of Calais Sunday night by U.K. authorities under the Schedule 7 anti-terrorism act, which allows law enforcement to stop, search and interrogate those under reasonable suspicion
of being involved in terrorism. Accusing her of the distribution of racist material,
British immigration authorities ultimately banned her from entering the country.
Southern made the claim via a series of tweets on Monday morning. The activist says she was on a bus traveling to England Sunday night in order to appear at a free speech event. Border police, however, stopped her from entering the country, citing racism
as their rationale for blocking her entry into the country:
Southern was traveling to the U.K. after producing a documentary about racial tensions in South Africa reaching a boiling point,
escalated by a government that has increasingly embraced racially discriminatory policies, including the confiscation of white-owned farmland.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/28108/lauren-southern-detained-banned-entering-uk-racism-james-barrett
This piece of highly conspicuous news is totally absent from bbc’s headlines even though Calais is just across the Channel – because bbc is helping Theresa May adjust Britain’s economy to post-brexit conditions, meaning Britain will be totally dependent on Qatar and other Muslim countries for its economic survival and therefore block all criticism of Radical Muslims.
When you document Black-African abuse of power you are right-wing
....
There has been a huge scientific and popular effort in Europe to switch from carbon economy to renewables, but it always ends up with the personal financial decisions, which are governed mainly by taxes and incentives.
Britain has banned the sale of petrol and Diesel cars from....2040...thereby helping Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates to have a good long period before anything serious happens.
