What It All Means Today
It’s not easy to understand the Middle East, but one facet can be found in following the money.

In June 2020, the FBI released a slew of emails related to Obama Administration corruption.
Among them were emails between former Obama Deputy National Security Advisor, Ben Rhodes, and Obama’s former Deputy Assistant to the President and National Security Advisor to U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, Jake Sullivan, showing the two bragging to other administration officials.
“We’re only lying footsoldiers. You’re lying masterminds. That’s cooler,” they wrote.


An intercepted email, sent just days after US ambassador Chris Stevens was murdered in Benghazi by terrorists, suggested a deep connection between President Barack Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood in the Persian Gulf and north Africa.
The email was from U.S. Ambassador to Qatar Dana Smith to Sullivan and Rhodes. It included an article about the new Brotherhood media venture Hillary Clinton’s State Department helped coordinate.

It suggested that the Obama administration intended to reverse decades of US policy and that Ben Rhodes, and other advisors to the President, were key figures.
Over a decade later, it is clear that wherever Muslim Brotherhood connected parties succeeded, they only brought another form of authoritarianism, clothed in religious militarism, rather than nationalist ideas.
Qatar, considered an open-wallet nation for greedy U.S. politicians, has also been friendly with Hamas terrorists.

From 2009 up to 2013, the year the Ukrainian crisis erupted, the Clinton Foundation received at least $8.6 million from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, which is headquartered in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev.
Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar all donated to the Clinton Foundation and gained State Department (under Hillary) clearance to buy caches of American-made weapons.
For decades, Qatar rulers spent billions on increasing its influence in Western capitals and, in particular, England.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair used the Clinton Foundation as a model–after all, the Blairs and Clintons had been friends since the 1990s.

Released emails published by the State Department exposed that the Qatari Royal family made efforts to befriend Hillary Clinton through Tony Blair’s wife, Cherie Blair.
Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser al-Missned, a wife of the former emir of Qatar and mother of the ruling emir, Sheikh Tamin bin Hamad Al-Thani, established contact with Hillary via Cherie Blair.
Soon, in 2012, Tony Blair brokered a $50-billion commodities deal between Glencore and Xstrata, which brought him $1 million.

What Does This Mean Today?
America’s most trusted watchdog, Judicial Watch, recently had their chief investigative reporter, Micah Morrison, on the trail of Qatar and the Clintons connection.
In summary, here are some of his exposing revelations connecting Bill and Hillary Clinton with Qatar.
Shortly after the world began learning the details of the massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7, Hillary Clinton published a note of support on X for “everyone affected by the horrific attacks by Hamas” and expressed “strong support of our ally,” Israel.
The former secretary of state had nothing to say about one of Hamas’s key allies, the energy-rich kingdom of Qatar, and not surprisingly: Qatar is not only an important friend of the U.S. in the region but also for many years was a generous patron of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
As Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton noted on X, Qatar funneled money to the Clintons when Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state and she “hid this until disclosures from Wikileaks and pressure from Judicial Watch forced her to admit to tens of millions of previously hidden foreign cash payments to ‘Clinton Inc.’”
Slipping money into the hands of slippery politicians—a time-honored tradition in the Middle East and elsewhere—of course is not the same as providing significant ongoing state support for a murderous terrorist organization.
But the Clinton experience does provide a snapshot of the Qatari influence operation and a warning about what Qatar may be up to elsewhere, including in the United States.
The Qatar-Clinton money trail begins around 2008, when the Clinton Foundation—under pressure due to Mrs. Clinton’s imminent ascent to State Department leadership—published a list of donors. Among them: Qatar, listed as contributing between $1 million and $5 million. A Clinton Foundation spokesman later acknowledged that Qatar had been sending the Clintons money “since 2002.”
Pressure mounted on the Clintons in 2014 with the publication of a Judicial Watch investigative report disclosing that Bill Clinton had earned upward of $48 million in speaking fees around the globe, including from Arab countries, while Mrs. Clinton served as secretary of state.
“Former President Clinton trotted the globe collecting huge speaking fees while his wife presided over U.S. foreign policy,” Tom Fitton noted at the time.
In 2016, a leaked Wikileaks email revealed that five years earlier, in 2011, the Clintons had received a $1 million gift from Qatar. That gift was never reported by the Clintons, a clear violation of the disclosure agreement the Clintons had signed with the State Department when Mrs. Clinton took the helm.
Soon after the 2011 gift, a high-ranking Qatari official pressed the Clinton circle for “five minutes” with the former president.
Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits also turned up more evidence of Clinton conflicts of interest, including the courting of Qatar.
A Judicial Watch FOIA disclosure in late 2016 revealed a list sent by a Clinton Foundation senior adviser to a high-ranking aide to Secretary of State Clinton; the list noted more than 200 foreign leaders to be invited to the 2009 Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting, including the emir of Qatar, the Qatari prime minister, and the minister of foreign affairs.
Qatar’s pursuit of influence in the United States is not limited to the Clintons and their allies.
According to investigative reports, Qatar has given $1 billion to American universities since 2011.
Qatar also is a major purveyor of anti-Semitism. Its media is filled with anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda. And at the UN—not exactly a bastion of pro-Israel sentiment—a high-ranking Qatari official was recently denied a senior post on the grounds of anti-Semitism. That’s useful context when considering Qatar’s role supporting Hamas.
Recently, Judicial Watch won a recent lawsuit forcing disclosure of information about Qatar’s funding of American universities. Abroad.

What Corporate Media Hid is Revealed
Interestingly, some Hillary Clinton emails during her Secretary of State tenure caused independent investigation from non-mainstream corporate media to focus on her relationships with the “Muslim Brotherhood,” a group that the UAE and Saudi Arabia consider terrorists.



In the Middle East, Al-Ain media had several stories on the emails. An article on October 11 claimed that the emails reveal there was an “Al-Jazeera plot to overthrow Mubarak.”
“Egyptians who believed the Arab Spring of 2011 was hijacked by the religious extremist Brotherhood have long accused the US State Department of preferring the Muslim Brotherhood to rule Egypt,” the Arab Observer on Oct. 16, 2020 wrote.
“The renewed focus on the emails and Clinton’s role comes amid some changes in the region and the rise of Joe Biden in the US. Biden’s foreign policy views and team are expected to be similar to those of Clinton and the Obama administration, with some tweaks,” the article noted. “Clinton was US Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. She played a key role during the Arab Spring.”
“Other articles make similar claims about Clinton coordinating with Qatar or the Brotherhood,” the Arab Observer revealed. “The articles also assert that under the Obama administration the US sought to ‘bring the Brotherhood in all of the Middle East.’”
