Trump fell like a domino.
Qatar called him “orange man.”
Trump demeaned Netanyahu, his cherished ally.
Why?
Refer to transcript of videotaped deposition of Alan Bender, a businessman and mediator with extensive Middle East experience.
Bender testified in October 2019 as part of a civil lawsuit filed in Florida against H.E. Sheik Khalid Bin Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani and others.
Bender said Qatar recruited him around 2017.
During his meetings with high-ranking Qatari officials, Bender claimed he was told that Qatar’s strategy for influence in the USA went far beyond individual politicians.
He said that officials such as Mohammad Al-Masnad, chief royal advisor to the Emir, and Abdullah Al-Athbah informed him that while they had already recruited members of both the Republican and Democratic parties, their ultimate goal was to rule the White House.
Read that again.
Bender said that the Qatari leadership believed they could own the field of American politics within a year of his visit.
A central component of this alleged plan involved the use of massive financial bailouts to secure leverage over key figures in the executive branch.
Sort of like $19.4 trillion offered at the 2026 G7.
Bender testified that Qatari officials bragged about using the company Brookfield to funnel $1.4 billion to Jared Kushner.
This money was specifically intended to pay off Kushner’s real estate debts and his failing property at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York.
Bender asserted that the Qatari government was well aware that this money was destined for Kushner before the deal was even finalized.
According to Bender’s testimony, the Qatari officials viewed this $1.4 billion as a lost cause from a financial investment standpoint but considered it a brilliant political investment.
He claimed they told him that while Kushner was in the White House, they had to cater to his demands, but they believed the payoff would eventually allow them to control his actions and, by extension, the White House itself.
Bender further alleged that the Qataris used untraceable methods, such as casino chips from Monte Carlo, to pay off various other individuals and maintain their influence.
Bender emphasized that the Qatari intelligence apparatus was deeply involved in these efforts, recording conversations and filming American officials discussing money in Doha to create leverage for future use.
He testified that the Qatari officials spoke disparagingly of American politicians, calling them the cheapest costing officials in the world because they could be recruited for relatively small sums compared to officials in other nations.
Through these combined methods of financial bailouts and clandestine recruitment, Bender claimed the Emir’s inner circle believed they would buying access and control over the USA.
Personal time, device, premises, opinion.
