A Conflict of Interest

We’ve Been Funding Our Enemies for a Long Time

Why is the enemy desperately trying to kill President Trump?

It is a sure sign of them losing their grip and trying to maintain control. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

But it’s not really about control. It is about something else. Control is just a by-product of something that the enemy values more than anything.

I have often mentioned in this series what the keystone is.

A portion of Q drop #2807:

What does the enemy value more than anything in the world?

Money.

TAXPAYER THEFT.

I don’t think most people realize the depth of corruption in our government when it comes to TAXPAYER THEFT.

Money is the keystone, and Q told us to follow the money because it is the common denominator in all the corruption and treason. Everything is connected to money.

Anybody that tries to stop the flow of money from the taxpayers to the hidden enemy and their puppets is deemed a threat. And when that person sits in the most powerful position in the world and also commands the most feared fighting force in the world, extreme measures are used to eliminate that threat.

Trump and his family risk their lives every single day in order to defeat this worldwide enemy. The war is real, and Trump accepted that reality long before he ever announced he was running for president.

Remember, one of his closest friends was also a real threat to the enemy, and I believe they killed him before he could ever get close to the presidency.

JFK Jr. was loved by the American people.

The enemy knew his popularity with the American people would be difficult to overcome, and they also knew he was aware of who the real enemy were, because they had murdered his father.

The enemy eliminated JFK Jr. because he was planning on running for the Senate in New York, and also had higher aspirations.

I have always believed his plane was sabotaged, and it was no coincidence that Hillary was running for the same Senate seat in New York at the time. She had no chance of beating him for that seat. With his unexpected death, America lost an opportunity for a completely different history and direction.

Trump hasn’t forgotten his friend and what they did to him and his family. Payback is coming, and the enemy knows it.

It has always been a real war and the threats are real.

It is a war between the INSIDERS and the OUTSIDERS. We are the outsiders, and Trump has become our champion. He has picked up the mantle that his close friend gave his life for. It is a war for control, and MONEY gives the enemy control of almost everything.

But who is going to win this war? Will the enemy retain control, or lose control?

That’s the question.

I would argue that the enemy has already lost control and is now reacting instead of controlling things. They are desperately trying to cover up stories that keep exposing the monumental corruption that has gone on throughout our entire lives.

For example, Q asked:

How much money (CASH) was sent by the FED to Iraq (Iraq War)?

I covered this important story at the end of a previous article titled: Bad Actors.

I explained in that article how tens of billions of dollars were stolen during the Iraq War, and an investigation done during the George W. Bush presidency revealed that over a billion dollars was discovered in a Lebanon bunker. Bush squashed the investigation, and nothing came of it. This story, like a lot of stories based on theft of large amounts of taxpayers’ money, was swept under the rug and quickly forgotten.

Politics is just one big scam. Both parties are just stealing our money.

But, I left out one important part of that story, and it’s connected to a man you’ve never heard of.

This connection is a huge clue, and helps to reveal why tens of billions of U.S. dollars were “allowed” to be stolen. This person exposes who this money was really intended for, in my opinion.

According to CNBC:

It has been called the largest airborne transfer of currency in the history of the world. But finding out what happened to all the money involved has become one of the biggest financial mysteries of all time.

The money was packed onto pallets inside a heavily guarded New York Federal Reserve compound in East Rutherford, New Jersey, trucked to Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, and flown by military aircraft to Baghdad International Airport.

By one account, the New York Fed shipped about $40 billion in cash between 2003 and 2008. In just the first two years, the shipments included more than 281 million individual bills weighing a total of 363 tons. But soon after the money arrived in the chaos of war-torn Baghdad, the paper trail documenting who controlled it all began to go cold.

As I wrote about before, there were no documents tracking this money at all once it got to Iraq. That was purposeful.

How do you steal tens of billions of dollars and stash it in bunkers around the world like the one discovered in Lebanon to fund Hezbollah?

Answer: You make sure there is no paper trail.

More from CNBC:

And although the money was handled by a variety of trained American officials and military officers in the first legs of its trip halfway around the world, CNBC has learned that something unusual happened on the Baghdad side of the transaction: Each of the money flights to Baghdad was met at the airport in Iraq by the same man.

One man was responsible for picking up the billions of dollars and transporting them to the Iraqi central bank. Just one man.

More from CNBC:

The previously unknown Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) official was tasked with picking up the bales of billions as they were unloaded from C-17s and arranging for them to get to the Central Bank of Iraq in downtown Baghdad. It was a perilous journey of about seven miles over a road the U.S. military called “Route Irish” through territory often controlled by insurgents. Travelers faced the threat of rocket propelled grenades, mortars, car bombs and IEDs.

Transit was so dangerous that returning American GI’s often posted YouTube videos of their trips on Route Irish, just for the bragging rights of having been there.

This previously unknown American official had to transport these pallets of dollars weighing tons in trucks along one of the deadliest roads in Iraq. Our military did not participate in this leg of the journey.

Doesn’t that seem suspicious?

Our government sure trusted this one man.

Who was he?

More from CNBC:

The CPA official was a stocky, middle-aged naturalized American citizen of Lebanese descent who was born in Saudi Arabia. His first name is Basel. At his request, CNBC has agreed to withhold his last name from this story. Basel ferried cash in Baghdad for the CPA and the American embassy from 2003 until 2008—all told handling, he said, about $40 billion in cash.

His job made him the very last American to see that money before it disappeared into the vaults at the Central Bank of Iraq. And it may have made him the only person in the history of the world to oversee the movement of $40 billion in a combat zone.

We don’t even know this person’s full name. The media would only give us his first name, and we don’t know if that is his real name either.

Basel was in charge of moving $40 billion in a combat zone on one of the deadliest roads in Iraq. And he never lost a single load.

Isn’t that amazing? It sounds like a miracle.

Don’t miss the important clues that we were just given.

Basel was a naturalized American citizen of Lebanese descent, but he was born in Saudi Arabia.

Who does that remind you of?

If you’ve followed this series from the very beginning, you’ll remember that Prince Alwaleed was born in Saudi Arabia, and is also of Lebanese descent.

Just a coincidence?

Alwaleed was born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Please remember that very important data point. A lot of roads lead to Jeddah.

Alwaleed’s father was a member of the Saudi Royal family, and his name was Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. His mother was Mona El Solh, the daughter of Riad El Solh, who was the first Prime Minister of Lebanon. From his very beginning, Prince Alwaleed had deep and wealthy connections in both Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. Both of those connections are very important, and will reveal a lot as I continue in this series.

What are the odds that this Basel character was affiliated with Prince Alwaleed?

I actually think those odds are pretty high considering the background of this Basel character and the fact that Alwaleed had strong ties to the Bush family and the CIA.

More from CNBC:

It doesn’t seem that anyone in the US government planned ahead of time to put so much responsibility—and temptation—into the hands of just one man.

A typical pallet held 640 bundles, which the handlers called “bricks,” with a thousand bills in each bundle. Each pallet weighed 1,500 pounds, and they were separated by color. Gold seals were used for $100 bills, brown seals held $50 bills, purple seals $20, and so on.

The chain of custody of the cash was rigorously documented as it left the custody of the New York Fed and was signed over to Air Force officers, who oversaw the loading of C-17 transport planes and flew with the bales of money on the long flight to Baghdad. When the cargo holds were unloaded in Baghdad, Basel was there.

Why would we be so diligent in the chain of custody, transferring $40 billion from New York only to allow for no chain of custody or paper trail once it got to Baghdad?

You know the answer.

The plan was always to steal the money and President George W. Bush didn’t just turn a blind eye to the theft, he actually stopped an investigation that had discovered over $1.5 billion in a bunker in Lebanon.

This is how American taxpayers are scammed out of their hard earned money.

Q mentioned how the scam works in drop #2807, from Feb 19, 2019:

President Trump was an outsider and a threat to the cabal’s control. This is one of the reasons that Trump ended all the wars.

But how did Basel get this very important job? I’m sure he had great qualifications and came highly recommended. Right? Surely he had lots of experience transporting large sums of money.

Guess what his occupation was BEFORE he was responsible for such large amounts of money?

According to CNBC, he was a translator and just happened to be in the “right place at the right time” to get this job.

Does anybody believe that? Do you really think we would trust all that money to a translator?

This entire story by CNBC is a “feel good puff piece” about a guy that, according to the story, performed a great service for our country. He also supposedly never lost a single dollar that he transported without military escort. The only way that happens is if Basel is connected to someone very powerful. What are the odds that he wouldn’t lose a single dollar on all those trips along one of the most dangerous roads in Iraq? Did he have a green light to transport the money by the enemy?

We did find out later about the money that was stolen and ended up in a Lebanon bunker. How did it get there?

You see, terrorists don’t have to steal large amounts of money like bank robbers. Do you want to know why? Because they are being funded by the CIA and our shadow government. We were flying billions of dollars straight to our enemies, right under the nose of the American people.

A “war zone” has always been the perfect COVER for TAXPAYER THEFT.

We now know that more than half of this money was stolen, and George W. Bush didn’t want anybody to know where it went. He was one of Alwaleed’s biggest puppets.

But I want to share a little interesting bit of information at the end of this article.

More from CNBC:

Today, Basel says he is planning a trip to Sudan, and is negotiating for a contract to transport billions of dollars in cash into newly liberated Libya.

The man who escorted $40 billion says he still needs to earn a living.

This mystery man, who played a unique part in the theft of tens of billions of dollars in Iraq, was now negotiating to do the same job in Libya.

This article was published back on October 25, 2011.

Muammar Gaddafi was killed just five days earlier.

Do you think that’s just another coincidence? We funded our enemies in Iraq, and now we were going to do the same thing in Libya.

(Author’s note: There seem to be many different ways to spell the name of the former leader of Libya. I will be using ‘Gaddafi.’)

Libya was also a large money laundering operation like Iraq, and was actually much worse.

War is one of the biggest ways taxpayers are forced to fund our enemies. But there are so many more ways that people don’t yet realize.

What’s another way?

Lobbying.

I mentioned an important person in my previous article titled: Transparency And Prosecution.

His name was Mouza Moustafa. He was the head of a lobbying group in Washington D.C. raising money for a Syrian rebel army trying to overthrow Bashar al-Assad. But in reality, as I pointed out in that article, it was actually a lobbying group for ISIS.

Congress was giving taxpayers money to ISIS. John McCain was directly connected to Moustafa, and was helping to fund and arm ISIS. He was doing it with the full approval and blessing of President Obama.

That ISIS lobbying group was called the Syrian Emergency Task Force. Moustafa was the go between for McCain and ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

This wasn’t the first time that Moustafa worked with McCain.

Did you know that Moustafa also led another lobbying group named the Libyan Emergency Task Force?

A similar name, and the same playbook. It is actually easy for the enemy to steal taxpayers money through lobbying.

According to LPR.com:

Mr. Moustafa was born and raised in Damascus, Syria before moving to the US as a teenager. He is the current Executive Director for SETF, Political Director for UFS (United For a Free Syria), as well as a board member of the Coalition for a Democratic Syria (CDS).

Mr. Moustafa also worked with the Libyan Revolution. During this period, Mr. Moustafa was the Executive Director of the Libyan Council of North America (LCNA), Political Director of the Libyan Emergency Task Force (LETF), and worked closely with top officials within the Transitional National Council (TNC).

Before Moustafa became a lobbyist for ISIS in Washington D.C. and chaperoned McCain in Syria to meet with the leaders of ISIS, he was a lobbyist for the terrorists in Libya trying to overthrow Gaddafi. That lobbyist group was named the Libyan Emergency Task Force.

These lobbying groups are set up by our enemies to fund the very groups we are at war with. McCain knew exactly who these groups were representing, and so did a lot of other government officials.

It’s all just a big game. The American taxpayers are just one giant piggy bank, and always have been.

McCain and Moustafa were trying to overthrow Bashar Al-Assad in Syria. That’s why McCain went to Syria with Moustafa and met with ISIS back in 2013.

Did you know that McCain made a similar trip to Libya two years earlier, before Gaddafi was overthrown? Just a coincidence?

Did you know that Moustafa and McCain were both heavily involved in trying to overthrow Gaddafi before they were trying to overthrow Bashar Al-Assad?

They had been working together to fund our enemies for a long time.

Did you catch who Moustafa was working closely with?

It was the Transitional National Council. (TNC)

Guess who McCain was pressuring Congress to support?

According to Politico:

As he visited the Libyan rebel stronghold of Benghazi on Friday, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) praised the Obama administration for its military action but called on NATO allies to do more in the region to support the anti-Qadhafi rebels he called “heroes.”

“I would encourage every nation, especially the United States, to recognize the Transitional National Council as the legitimate voice of the Libyan people,” the Arizona Republican said of the government body that’s been formed by the anti-Qadhafi movement. “They have earned this right, and Qadhafi has forfeited it by waging war on his own people.”

McCain said that supporters of the rebel movement ought to provide “every appropriate means of assistance,” including “command and control support, battlefield intelligence, training and weapons.”

McCain, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been a strong proponent of U.S. intervention in Libya, and has called on President Barack Obama to provide more military support — including arms — to the rebels.

Benghazi was the Libyan rebel stronghold, and McCain went to meet these “rebel leaders” in April of 2011 in order to draw media attention to gain more support for the overthrow of Gaddafi.

Did you see how McCain described these rebel leaders?

McCain called these rebel leaders “his heroes.”

The fake war hero was describing these rebels trying to overthrow Gaddafi as “his heroes.”

McCain was also encouraging every nation, including the United States, to recognize the Transitional National Council as the legitimate government of the Libyan people. That was the same council that his good ISIS buddy, Mouza Moustafa had close ties to.

Why did McCain want our government to recognize the Transitional National Council as the legitimate government of Libya?

Answer: Because that would make it a lot easier for taxpayers’ money to flow directly to these rebel groups.

But who are these rebels that John McCain called “his heroes” and wanted taxpayers to fund and support?

According to The Guardian:

US senator John McCain, one of Congress's most vocal supporters of military intervention in Libya, said rebels fighting Muammar Gaddafi's troops were his heroes, and praised their efforts to overthrow the dictator.

The most senior Republican on the Senate armed services committee made the remarks during a visit to Benghazi on Friday, before a meeting with opposition leaders to assess the situation on the ground. He is the most senior US official to visit the rebel-held eastern city.

McCain called for US military intervention in Libya in February, weeks before the UN security council authorised military action to protect civilians and impose a no-fly zone. When Obama acted with limited congressional consultation, McCain defended the president, saying he could not wait for Congress to take even a few days to debate the use of force. If he had "there would have been nothing left to save in Benghazi".

Isn’t it interesting that McCain was the most senior U.S. official to actually travel to Benghazi?

Why?

For the same reason that he traveled secretly to Syria to meet with ISIS leaders even though we didn’t have diplomatic relations with Syria at the time.

You see, John McCain thinks he’s a “really big deal.” He constantly used his reputation, seniority in Congress and “war hero” image as a way to give “legitimacy” to groups that he supported.

This was McCain’s value to Alwaleed, and why he was pumping money into the McCain Institute. McCain fought to give legitimacy to the rebels in Libya trying to overthrow Gaddafi in 2011, and also the rebels trying to overthrow Bashar Al-Assad in Syria, two years later.

As I proved in an earlier article, those rebels that McCain met with in Syria were ISIS terrorists.

It is no coincidence that McCain traveled to Benghazi and praised Obama for launching air strikes to protect the rebels who were based there.

Were these rebels just “freedom fighters,” like McCain and others would imply to the American people?

According to Consortium News:

While McCain’s Senate office functioned as a clubhouse for arms industry lobbyists and neocon operatives, his fascistic allies waged a campaign of human devastation that will continue until long after the flowers dry up on his grave.

American media may have sought to bury this legacy with the senator’s body, but it is what much of the outside world will remember him for.

‘They are Not al-Qaeda’

John McCain said, “They are not Al-Qaeda.”

Do you remember that quote? Do you remember when McCain declared that the “rebel fighters” in Libya weren’t affiliated with Al-Qaeda?

Who were these Libyan rebel fighters?

More from Consortium News:

When a violent insurgency swept through Libya in 2011, McCain parachuted into the country to meet with leaders of the main insurgent outfit, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), battling the government of Moamar Gaddafi. His goal was to make kosher this band of hardline Islamists in the eyes of the Obama administration, which was considering a military intervention at the time.

These “hardline Islamists” that McCain went to Benghazi to meet with were called the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. (LIFG)

Here’s John McCain and a couple of his buddies from the Senate meeting with the leader of the LIFG:

His name is Abdelhakim Belhaj. (Sometimes spelled ‘Belhadj.’)

He was the leader and founder of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.

Was the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group really a “former” Al-Qaeda affiliate?

Here’s how McCain described them.

According to the Activist Post:

McCain farcically heaped praise upon the Libyan rebels by stating, “What I have witnessed today in Benghazi is a powerful and hopeful example of what a free Libya could be – a place where the dignity and the desires of all people for freedom and opportunity are respected,” and assured us that despite evidence from the US military itself, he has “met with these brave fighters, and they are not Al-Qaeda.

To the contrary: They are Libyan patriots who want to liberate their nation.”

McCain said that these brave Libyan fighters were “not Al-Qaeda.” He said they are just “patriots” trying to liberate their country.

Why would McCain feel the need to declare that the rebel fighters he was promoting were not affiliated with Al-Qaeda? Pictures tell a thousand words. People recognized who he was meeting with in both Syria and Libya, and many knew they were all affiliated with Al-Qaeda.

John McCain was lying and he knew it. How do we know? Did you catch that little clue?

The U.S. military had evidence that they were Al-Qaeda. Here’s part of a study they conducted to find out what groups we were fighting in Iraq, and what countries they were coming from.

According to the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point:

Our military said that the LIFG had officially joined Al-Qaeda in 2007 and were sending lots of fighters to kill American soldiers in Iraq. McCain met with them in Benghazi in 2011, and was pressuring our government to arm, train and fund them. He is the worst kind of traitor.

Libya was more important than most people realize when it comes to the war in Iraq.

Libya was providing the most foreign terrorists in Iraq based on population size, and that’s not a coincidence.

The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group had joined Al-Qaeda, and were training fighters in Libya to go and fight in Iraq. Libya had become the new “safe haven” training ground for our enemy.

Did McCain not know who these terrorists really were when he traveled to Benghazi to meet with them? As the senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, how could he possibly not know that the LIFG was affiliated with Al-Qaeda?

The military wasn’t the only one that put out a report on the LIFG being part of Al-Qaeda.

Here’s a report from the U.S. Treasury:

October 30, 2008:

The U.S. Department of the Treasury today designated three members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) under Executive Order 13224, which targets terrorists and the financial, technological, or material support networks of terrorists.

LIFG, along with other al Qaida affiliates, seeks to exploit our globalized world, raising funds in Europe for transfer to terror cells operating in North Africa, said Adam Szubin, director of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury had designated LIFG members as terrorists, and also designated them as an affiliate of Al-Qaeda.

This was back in 2008. Do you really think McCain and Obama didn’t know they were part of Al-Qaeda?

More from the U.S. Treasury:

LIFG officially announced its formation in 1995 among Libyans who had fought Soviet forces in Afghanistan and the Qadhafi regime in Libya. The LIFG is believed to have participated in the planning of the May 2003 Casablanca suicide bombings, and LIFG has been linked to the 2004 Madrid attacks.

Since the late 1990s, many LIFG members have fled Libya for various countries, particularly the United Kingdom.

In early November 2007, Ayman al-Zawahiri announced the LIFG had become an official affiliate of al Qaida. The LIFG was named a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) in the annex to E.O. 13224 on September 23, 2001 and was added to the UN 1267 Committee Consolidated List of individuals and entities associated with al Qaida or the Taliban on October 6, 2001.

LIFG was formed back in 1995, and many members joined the Mujahideen, fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. That’s an important data point.

As I pointed out in a previous article, the Mujahideen were a private army that the CIA created and funded to protect their heroin trade in Afghanistan. That article was titled: Who Is The Real Enemy?

The LIFG had also committed terrorist bombings that killed many civilians, but did you catch what happened in the late 1990’s?

“Many LIFG members have fled Libya for various countries.”

Why were they “fleeing” Libya? I thought that Gaddafi was a big “sponsor of terrorism?” Wasn’t he the one behind these bombings and terrorist attacks happening around the world?

LIFG members were fleeing Libya because Gaddafi was fighting these terrorists in his own country. Gaddafi was waging war against them, and had arrested a lot of them. But the image of Gaddafi portrayed in the media was that he was a big sponsor of terrorism. Our CIA-controlled media constantly painted him in the same light as Saddam Hussein.

There’s a reason for that. The CIA has always used the media to paint their targets as the worst enemies in the world.

But then what happened in 2001?

The 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center by Al-Qaeda.

Shortly after that attack, the LIFG “was named a Specially Designated Global Terrorist,” and was then added to the UN 1267 Committee Consolidated List of individuals and entities associated with Al Qaeda or the Taliban.

They weren’t just a known terrorist group that was associated with Al-Qaeda, they also had two training camps in Afghanistan at the time of the 9/11 attack. That wasn’t just a coincidence.

Even the State Department designated the LIFG as Al-Qaeda.

Does anybody really think that McCain and Obama didn’t know that the “freedom fighters” McCain met with and Obama gave support to were part of Al-Qaeda?

What’s the truth?

The truth is our corrupt CIA/shadow government has been arming and training the very terrorists that we have been at war with since the 1980’s. Our troops have been purposely sacrificed on the battlefield for one reason: the never ending war on terrorism was by design. It was all about one thing.

Money.

Why did McCain feel the need to personally travel to Benghazi?

Benghazi was always important to the CIA/shadow government. It was a big part of their overall plan.

Why?

According to McClatchy DC:

Every week, about a dozen Syrians arrive at Benghazi’s airport for what’s described as insurgent training. When they fly out, they’re carrying fake Libyan passports, according to three officials familiar with the comings and goings of foreigners at the airport.

The accounts of the officials, who asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the topic, are more evidence that this city in Libya has become a regional hub for Islamist extremists seeking to hone their combat skills.

Fighters from Tunisia and Algeria also are thought to be training here, driving across Libya’s borders to reach Benghazi, the birthplace of the uprising that, with NATO’s help, toppled Moammar Gadhafi two years ago. But the Syrians’ routine arrival and departure by air indicates that the training process is better organized and financed than had been realized.

This training of terrorists in Benghazi “is better organized and financed than had been realized.”

Libya became a hotbed for terrorist training after Gaddafi was overthrown, especially Syrian terrorists. That was always the plan.

ISIS fighters were now being trained by McCain’s “heroes” in Libya, and then flown to Syria through Turkey. They were using taxpayers’ money to increase the number of ISIS fighters who were conquering the Middle East at the time, while Obama ignored their threat and called them the J.V. team to distract the American people.

All by design.

These terrorist training camps for Al-Qaeda in Benghazi were vitally important because we were now fighting a war in Afghanistan because of 9/11. That’s where most of the Al-Qaeda training camps were before 9/11, and now the CIA needed to relocate them so they could keep feeding a constant supply of new fighters to kill our soldiers.

The longer the war, the more money they can steal.

The war in Afghanistan went twenty years, and if it weren’t for Trump, it probably would have gone on for another twenty years.

How many trillions of dollars were stolen?

(I will get to 9/11 later in this series.)

But let’s go back to the leader of the LIFG that McCain met with.

Abdelhakim Belhaj is a major player in this story, and I bet nobody has ever heard of him. He overthrew Gaddafi, then what happened to him?

According to Wikipedia:

Abdelhakim Belhaj (born 1 May 1966) is a Libyan politician and military leader. He is the leader of the Islamist al-Watan Party and former head of the Tripoli Military Council. He was the emir of the defunct Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, an anti-Gaddafi guerrilla group.

This leader of Al-Qaeda terrorists became a politician and the leader of a new political party that he created in Libya.

Do you remember me mentioning in a previous article how John Brennan, during the Obama administration, was encouraging Hezbollah to become a political force in Lebanon?

Now they control Lebanon, because it’s the same playbook.

According to Africa Intelligence:

United Nations special representative for Libya Martin Kobler has been negotiating since March 2016 with former war lord Abdelhakim Belhadj and other militia leaders to install Fayez El Sarraj's national unity government in Tripoli. Belhadj, the former emir of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), is thus continuing to play a key role in the discussions with the international community, which began with the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.

Near the end of the Obama administration, Belhaj was actually in negotiations with the U.N. to establish a government in Libya. This is the same guy that our military, along with our government and the U.N. had declared to be the leader of a terrorist group affiliated with Al-Qaeda.

More from Africa Intelligence:

He has had a tumultuous career. He fought in Afghanistan in the 1980s, was interrogated in the prisons of the CIA in the early 2000s and then held in Libya's Abu Salim Prison.

In 2009, with the help of Muslim Brotherhood preacher Ali Sallabi, he negotiated his liberation with Gaddafi's son, Saïf al-Islam. In 2011, he went to Qatar to take command of the elite February 17Brigade when the insurrection against the regime in Libya began.

These are some key data points and background on Belhaj. They help us to understand just how important this man is to this CIA/shadow government conspiracy, centered around Benghazi.

He fought in Afghanistan for the CIA Mujahideen against the Soviet Union. That was where he FIRST MET Osama Bin Laden. Did you know that he was directly tied to Osama Bin Laden? They were much closer than most people know.

He went to Sudan after Osama Bin Laden moved his operations there, and then followed Osama back to Afghanistan after he was kicked out of Sudan. He was running Al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan. He wasn’t just a member of Al-Qaeda, he was a close associate of Osama Bin Laden and one of Al-Qaeda’s most important leaders. That’s why he went into hiding immediately after 9/11 and was arrested in Malaysia.

But why was he picked up by the CIA and sent back to Libya, where Gaddafi imprisoned him along with a lot of LIFG leaders?

Remember, after 9/11, Gaddafi took the war on terror as a serious threat by President Bush, and voluntarily gave up his weapons of mass destruction programs and made peace with the western nations, including the United States. Gaddafi had been fighting a war against these same terrorists for years. The U.S. under George W. Bush had made a deal with Gaddafi to turn over Belhaj and any other LIFG members they captured. Belhaj then spent several years in a Libyan prison.

But did you see who negotiated his release?

In 2009, his release from prison was negotiated by a big member of the Muslim Brotherhood named Ali Sallabi. That’s an important data point.

Obama had won the presidential election in 2008, and Gaddafi was still of the mindset to cooperate with America in any way possible. He wanted to keep good relations with the new administration. I have no doubt that the Obama administration asked Gaddafi to release Belhaj and a bunch of his minions in the LIFG.

Obama has strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, and I will reveal all that evidence in coming articles. Gaddafi agreed to release Belhaj and others to keep goodwill with the new president.

When Belhaj was released from prison, he went to Qatar to command the February 17 Brigade. This would be the very brigade that he would later lead to topple and kill Gaddafi. It was also the Libyan brigade that was assigned as part of the security at the consulate in Benghazi.

Did you know that? They literally did nothing to stop the attack. Are you surprised?

But guess what?

Belhaj didn’t just become a politician after toppling Gaddafi, so he could help form the new government, and he also became a very successful businessman.

More from Africa Intelligence:

Five years on, Belhadj, now in his fifties, has begun a new life. He remains influential with the government in Tripoli and the Fajr Libya militia coalition, but keeps out of the fighting as he works to extend his business activities from his fiefdom in Mitiga, where he controls the airport and the area surrounding it, and his rear base in Turkey.

The soldier turned businessman is active in a range of sectors, including health care, property, air transport and the media, and this in the Sudan, Tunisia, and Turkey, as well as Libya. To achieve this success, Belhadj has been able to rely on political and economic support from a network of businessmen and other influential figures.

After being released from prison and then toppling Gaddafi, Belhaj has gone from being a wanted terrorist around the world associated with Osama Bin Laden to a highly successful businessman in not just Libya, but Tunisia, Sudan and Turkey. These locations are way more important than I bet anybody realizes.

He owned a transportation company. That is not a coincidence.

According to Global Watch Analysis:

He soon shows an unsuspected appetite for business. So much so that barely a year later, in the fall of 2012, his name appears on the list of the richest Libyans of the post-Gaddafi era, and his fortune is estimated at more than 2 billion dollars!

Belhaj didn’t just become a very wealthy Libyan after toppling Gaddafi, he came to own some very strategic businesses.

More from Global Watch Analysis:

A year later, he founded his airline al-Ajniha (the wings) and thus established a monopoly on flights to the Libyan capital: the airport of Maatiga, which he controls, has become the only operational airport since the destruction of the international airport of Tripoli.

In January 2019, Belhaj was finally caught up with justice. A British parliamentary report points to his involvement in migrant smuggling. And the Libyan public prosecutor, Siddiq Al Sour, issued a warrant against him for “abuses and war crimes.”

Cornered, Belhaj decides to move to Istanbul.

Belhaj became a billionaire and owned an airline company where he had a monopoly on flights to the Libyan capital at the only operational airport.

Those Al-Qaeda terrorists that were being trained in Benghazi were then being flown on his airline to Syria through Turkey, in order to join ISIS. All with Obama, Hillary and McCain’s full support.

How does a terrorist leader associated with Osama Bin Laden before 9/11 be allowed to become a highly successful businessman and politician?

Here’s the truth.

Abdelhakim Belhaj was a CIA asset from the beginning and was now a major part of the plan to expand ISIS and take down another Putin ally, Bashar al-Assad in Syria.

We are supposed to be living in a “representative” Republic.

Does anybody really think that Obama, Hillary or McCain ever represented Americans? They clearly had a “conflict of interest,” especially when it came to Benghazi.

But did you catch the “date” that the Libyan government issued a warrant against Belhaj for “war crimes?”

It happened in January of 2019.

Who was president at that time? Just a coincidence?

What led to this warrant by the Libyan government, which caused Belhaj to flee to Turkey?

I bet a lot of people missed this news in Trump’s first year as president.

More from the previous article at Wikipedia:

As of June 2017, following the 2017 Qatar diplomatic crisis, Belhaj was placed on a terrorist watchlist on suspicion of terrorism-related activities with Qatari support, with Egypt, the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Libya's Tobruk government among those supporting this claim.

I mentioned this “Qatar diplomatic crisis” in my very first article in this series titled: Trump Takes Out The King.

Qatar was one of the biggest funding sources for Al-Qaeda, and with the approval of Trump; Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries blockaded Qatar to cut off that funding. Belhaj was immediately placed on the terrorist watchlist by several countries, including the Tobruk government in Libya, who issued a warrant for his arrest.

Trump has never forgotten about Benghazi.

This article helped to set the table once again for my coming articles.

Next, I will finally get to the attack in Benghazi, and why Ambassador Stevens was targeted.
