In 2016, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that “many millions” of Muslims held a viewpoint that is “fundamentally incompatible with the modern world.” Now the Saudis have reportedly paid Blair’s organization, the Institute for Global Change, $12,000,000 — after sending out a message to the world that it was pursuing modernization.
Despite the millions being given to Blair’s organization for what is actually little more than a public relations gig, this deal is being called “not for profit.” Blair’s website does not even mention the deal. It does, however, praise Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and as Islamization advances in the UK, Blair’s site also states…
Britain should learn from Saudi Arabia and how it has demonstrated a clear commitment to tackling the politicization of Islam to inform policy-making.
Saudi Arabia continues to be a big global promoter of Wahhabi ideology, and remains true to its Salafist origins. As the world celebrated the Saudi edict to allow women to drive, activists said that Saudi Arabia’s delarations about reform and lifting the driving ban were really a “cover” that “whitewashes the jailing of Saudi Arabia’s real reformers.” Indeed, just weeks before the driving ban was lifted, “leading figures” in the Saudi women’s rights movement were rounded up and jailed. Amnesty International called it an “extremely worrying development for [Saudi] women human rights defenders.” The Saudi system treats women as inferiors; women must get the permission of male relatives to make decisions in their lives. Tony Blair has been brought on to sugar-coat the Sharia abuses of Saudi Arabia.
“Tony Blair advises the Saudi government in £9 million deal with his ‘institute for global change,'” by Bridie Pearson-Jones, Daily Mail, July 21, 2018:
Tony Blair is using his ‘institute for global change’ to advise to quietly Saudi government’s modernisation programme in a multi-million pound deal.
The former Labour Prime Minister is helping the Saudi Prince under a £9million deal on a ‘not for profit’ basis.
The institute was paid £7.6million in January for the work in the Middle East but they have so far received more than £9million ($12million) for the work, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
Blair’s website does not mention the deal, but does has article’s praising Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
In an article discussing the Prince’s trip to the UK, the website says: ‘As part of his broad, sweeping and ambitious plans to revolutionize Saudi Arabia, economically, socially and religiously, the Crown Prince has demonstrated a level of conviction, clarity and coherence in identifying and understanding the nature of Islamist extremism that Western policymakers should seek to learn from.
‘Britain should learn from Saudi Arabia and how it has demonstrated a clear commitment to tackling the politicization of Islam to inform policymaking, with no moral ambiguity in delineating Islam, the faith, from Islamism, a politicised ideology……
“Vogue slammed for ignoring the real Saudi women driving change”, Alaraby, June 1, 2018:
Saudi women have taken to social media platforms to slam Vogue Arabia after it featured a glamorous Saudi princess on its cover this month, while the real women “driving change” in the kingdom are being jailed.
Princess Hayfa bint Abdullah al-Saud – daughter of late King Abdullah – appears on the cover of June’s edition of the fashion magazine, clad in white, wearing leather gloves and high-heels, perched in the driver’s seat of a car overlooking a desert landscape.
It comes as the kingdom prepares to lift a years’ long ban on women driving on 24 June, and the cover story is said to be a tribute to the reform drive launched by Saudi Arabia’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Activists said the cover whitewashes the jailing of Saudi Arabia’s real reformers.
Saudi women expressed outrage on Twitter by changing the Princess Hayfa Vogue cover with the images of women activists imprisoned during Mohammed bin Salman’s clampdown.
Eman al-Nafjan was arrested at the end of May with six other activists known particularly for their work against a driving ban on women in the country.
The advocates – who include leading figures in Saudi Arabia’s women’s rights movement such as Lujain al-Hathlol and Aziza al-Yusuf – were arrested on a bizarre list of charges, including “transgressing national and religious principles” and working with “foreign entities”.
The detentions comes just weeks before a driving ban on women is set to be lifted.
Saudi Arabia has described the activists as “traitors” with Amnesty International condemning the rhetoric as a “chilling smear campaign”…..

Tony Blair is a socialist. What else could you expect from him?
jramsix says
Much worse than a Socialist. He is a “Globalist”. Once you understand the “Agenda of these Globalisits”, they make MAO look like a nice guy. Here is an email from Hilary Clinton’s computer that I got from Wikileaks. It proves she and Tony Blair at the bidding of the Rothschilds. Imagine, Hilary as the Sec of State getting an email from a Rothschild telling her to go to a meeting in Israel. When she can’t make it she writes back to the Rothschild that she is Sending Tony Blair in her place? Then she tells the Lynn Foster Rothschild that she will have to do “Penance” for her?

TONY BLAIR DHIMMI/SELL-OUT OF THE YEAR !!! HOW MANY OTHER SELL-OUTS ARE THERE?
Mohammed’s last command was: “CONTINUE TO GIVE GIFTS TO EMISSARIES (ambassadors) AS YOU HAVE SEEN ME DO”.
BRIBERY OF MOHAMMED
Bukhari #005.059.716 Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi)
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Thursday! And how great that Thursday was! The ailment of Allah’s Apostle became worse (on Thursday) and he said, fetch me something so that I may write to you something after which you will never go astray.” The people (present there) differed in this matter, and it was not right to differ before a prophet. Some said, “What is wrong with him ? (Do you think ) he is delirious (seriously ill)? Ask him ( to understand his state ).” So they went to the Prophet and asked him again. The Prophet said, “Leave me, for my present state is better than what you call me for.” Then he ordered them to do three things. He said, “Turn the pagans out of the ‘Arabian Peninsula; respect and GIVE GIFTS TO THE FOREIGN DELEGATIONS AS YOU HAVE SEEN ME DEALING WITH THEM.” (Said bin Jubair, the sub-narrator said that Ibn Abbas kept quiet as regards the third order, or he said, “I forgot it.”) (See Hadith No. 116 Vol. 1)
Bribery is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. Mohammed’s sacred example is replete with bribery and Muslims MUST IMITATE Mohammed. Muslims all know that this is the LAST COMMAND of MOHAMMED and thus his DYING WISH!
How many of our Western elites, journalists, politicians, civil servants, college professors, universities directors HAVE BEEN BRIBED TO HELP THE JIHAD?
mortimer says
Having said the above, I WELCOME SINCERELY ANY REFORMS IN SODDY BARBARIA.
Perhaps the SODDY BARBARIANS will RELEASE RAIF BEDAWI who is ROTTING IN SODDY PRISON and receiving 1000 LASHES.
PARDON and RELEASE RAIF BEDAWI NOW !!!
HOW ABOUT IT, MR. BLAIR!
J D S says
I don’t know about bribery….but…how many individuals, both Muslim and non-muslim with the mindset of the teachings of muhammad (IHEAE) are IN PLACE in Universities, government agencies and other places of importance in all western nations..QUESTION? How did they get there?
Burnerjack says
9 million Bp for Blair?
How much did they pay for May and Merkel?
All these traitorous and treacherous whore were bought and paid for.

Yep. And he is a recipient of the Charlemagne Prize, a gong awarded to ‘leaders’ who advance the EU globalist agenda (other winners include Bill Clinton, the Pope, and Angela Merkel). ‘Miranda’ Blair is also rumoured to have high level paedophile connections.

Linda says
It’s the same with all of our western democratic leaders. We had a social contract with our governments to protect us, not the UN, not the world,…us. They’re not doing that. No one asked us if we wanted Sharia law imposed on us. There was not so much as a referendum asking people in the West whether we wanted all of this to befall us.

Michael Copeland says
For £12m each probably many other politicians would say they agree “in delineating Islam, the faith, from Islamism, a politicised ideology……”
The phrase sounds unmistakeably supplied by Saudi paymasters. “Islamism, a political ideology” was invented for use in the West to deflect attention away from Islam and obfuscate its connection to terrorism and political domination, both of which are Islamic imperatives. There is no mention of “Islamism” in the Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller”. There are plenty of commands in the Koran, part of Islamic law, to cast terror in the hearts of non-muslims and establish Islam as the only rule.
The full phrase is a masterpiece of artful disguising:
“how it [Saudi Arabia] has demonstrated a clear commitment to tackling the politicization of Islam to inform policymaking, with no moral ambiguity in delineating Islam, the faith, from Islamism, a politicised ideology……”
“Tackling”? What does “tackling” entail? The reader is supposed to think it means “opposing”, but it can simply mean “taking hold of”. It is therefore neatly ambiguous.
“Politicization of Islam”? Islam IS political: it carries the political imperative to impose Islamic rule on all the world “by persuasion or by force” (Ibn Khaldun).
“Islam, the faith” is meant to convey to Western readers matters of private conscience in religion. Here is the trap. Western readers perceive religion as private conscience, something that the individual is free to hold privately, or not to hold at all, and which is not of concern to others. They need to know this is not the case in Islam. Islam emphatically does NOT allow private conscience, nor are its rules restricted to abstract matters of belief and faith. Atheists are executed. Muslims who leave Islam, “apostates”, are killed. Yazidis and Hindus are killed unless they convert. Jews and Christians are only permitted to co-exist as second class citizens paying a special “protection money”, and with much-reduced rights. Islam the faith concerns land, territory, and rules for all aspects of life: it is a “deen” in Arabic, a system of governance. “We are an ideological political movement”, insisted Anjem Choudary.
“No moral ambiguity”? Taqiyya alert: the wording “no moral ambiguity” simply cannot be accepted from an ideology that authorises deception, in Arabic “taqiyya”. In fact its presence should alert the circumspect reader to suspect a straightforward deception. Islam indeed authorises “moral ambiguity” in the cause of Islam.
To quote an earlier article by the present writer:
“Mr Blair is well-trained in politics; he is not trained in Islamic law. He is not an authority on the “proper teaching of the Koran””.

Mr. Blair’s institute has received £9m for “advising” the Saudi government’s “modernisation programme”.
Will the institute ever publish what that advice was?

“Saudis buy former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair for $12,000,000”
I’m afraid the headline would be misleading to the unwary reader. It implies that Blair was just bought for a mere $12 million. In fact, he has belonged to the Saudis and kindred organizations for years, probably during his Prime Ministership, when he explicitly began massively importing third world immigrants.
Most Saudi payments take place after the main services have been rendered, in the form of grants and sponsorship of “foundations” devoted to the glorification of the politician in question. One exception was the Clinton Foundation, where grants and contributions were made prior to services rendered, except for possibly Uranium One.
In any case, the $12 million was simply an on-going payment designed, in part I’m sure, to show that indeed, retired politicians who rendered valuable services will be remembered subsequent to their greatest contributions to the Muslim cause.
MTMLA says
Blair had business deals with Gadhafi also
How about Bush? He’s very close to the Saudis….to prince Bandar especially……15 Saudis attacked the twin towers, yet Bush invaded Iraq instead. He classified 28 pages of the 9/11 findings that implicated the Saudis to protect them.. The Clintons????? We all know how crooked
and hungry for money and power they are. Maybe we’ll find out the truth when all these traitors are dead including the now millionaire Obama and his dealings.
Wellington says
The only real question in all of this is does Tony Blair actually believe what he is spouting or does he know he is lying? I think it the former but whichever is the case it serves as a condemnation of the man.
PABLO says
Please remember folks that it was Blair who opened the flood gates to a barbaric culture.

“To me,the most remarkable thing about the koran is how progressive it is.The koran is inclusive.It extols science and knowledge and abhors superstition.It is practical and far ahead of its time in attitudes,towards marriage,women, and governance”

progressive?inclusive?extols science and knowledge?abhors superstition?
far ahead of its time in attitudes towards marriage,women,governance?
What?
A book that CURSES Jews And Christians koran 9:30?
Did Tony miss that?
Tony has never actually read the koran has he?See if you can avoid laughing at his commentary regarding the koran.
Just like Pope “we must embrace the NWO” francis: a man who doesn’t believe islamic terrorism exits:
{According to islam’s prophet it most certainly does.Muhammed:Mr “I am made victorious through Terror”{Bukhari 4:52:220}and he would know.He admitted to being a terrorist..}
Francis;whose analysis of the koran resulted in the following priceless gem..”Authentic islam and a proper reading of the koran show it to be opposed to every form of violence”
Really?EVERY form of violence?
What about “slay the unbelievers wherever you find them” k2:191?Did Frankie miss that one..and all the other violent commands of allah?
Obviously,like Tony[..another fake who loves to smile a lot…],francis has never actually read the koran.A proper reading would result in a very different analysis.
But then Frankie and Tony are members of the Globalista mafia:they cannot afford for people to know the truth about what is going in the world.Best to put on a show and sugar coat it with nicey niceness.
[Nicey,smiley Tony..and that cheerful,panglossian,thumbs up of frankie.All is well in the world isn’t it?There’s no such thing as islamic terror..how dare you say that!.}
By the way:it was Tony Blair who opened the door to mass-islamic immigration.
This clinically insane Leftard policy was continued by David Cameron,finally resulting in the appaling political nothingness of Sharia May.

Your comment highlights the old controversy: would you rather have an evil genius in power, who knows the situation, but pursues his own self-interest in denying it, or an innocent idiot, who acts out of sincerity, but knows nothing. Kind of a Putin versus Carter comparison.

Saudis buy former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair for $12,000,000
………………..
Well, this is disturbing. Though he doesn’t have much competition–God knows–Blair has been among the less dhimmified of recent British PMs. Hope this handout from one of the worst Shari’ah states on the planet does not change this.
StellaSaidSo says
Blair was bought by the globalists years ago, and has always been chummy with the Saudis, along with his pal George W. Bush. It was Blair who opened the gates to unfettered Islamic immigration to the UK. Not sure how this makes him ‘less dhimmified’ than his successors.
Westman says
We buy the oil and with the wealth they buy our souls..
If we want our souls back, the Western World must get off oil and natural gas. There will be no peace until oil wealth is past history. Iran, Iraq, KSA, Russia, UAE, Kuwait, Venezuela, etc can all buy Western politicians and change the trajectory of nations for their benefit.
If we wait for the oil of Muslim and despotic nations to run out, we will watch our freedom run out first. There is a time for everything including placing the future of civilization ahead of political power and corporate profit.
underbed cat says
When leaders of western countries don’t know what they don’t know. about the Islamic Republic of Saudi Arabia and think the Prince does not follow sharia law, they can be fooled and the carrot is of course the possibility of a modern SA, those modern sky scrappers don’t reveal, or the double speak to convince a leader that besides all appearances, the 1400 year old doctrine of laws called sharia, exist and are followed.He may also not know that the west doesn’t know that “war is deceit ” and they are experts.Agreements are always voidable, and only last as long as needed so they all need to be the doctrine and those who follow it are best deceiver. Money a bargaining chip that works when no one is looking or paying attention to history and knowledge.

Sorry to disappoint you. He converted to RC when he stood down from being Prime Minister. The RC Pope praises Islam and kissed the Koran to the extent RCs fleeing from Syria have asked him why they should suffer for being RC if being Muslim is OK? I don’t think the got an answer. RCs seem to think Allah, the moon God and YHWH God are the same ‘person’.
http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/2018/03/19/do-christians-and-muslims-worship-the-same-god/
Both Blair and the RC Pope are in the pockets of the Muslims for anyone who compares the character of he moon God, Allah with that of YHWH God cannot help but notice differences which make them incompatible.

Good luck with your institution, Tony. I always thought you belonged in one. So the Saudis are allowing some women to drive cars. Are they also letting some women not to be beaten on either a regular or irregular basis?
