Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslim defense contractors, big Democrat donor, indicted: swindled billions from Pentagon, violated Iran sanctions

Dec 3, 2018 8:19 am By Robert Spencer

“War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268)

I doubt that the full history of the Clintons will ever be revealed, but I expect that if it were, our conventional understandings of many of the events of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century would have to be rewritten.

“Major Democrat, Clinton Donor Indicted for Fraud, Violating Iran Sanctions,” by Petr Svab, Epoch Times, December 1, 2018 (thanks to David):

Three executives connected to a defense contractor were charged for allegedly defrauding the United States military and for breaking U.S. sanctions on Iran. One of them was a significant contributor to the Democratic party, former State Secretary Hillary Clinton, and former President Bill Clinton.

The contractor, the Dubai-based Anham corporation, lied to the military in order to get an $8 billion 10-year contract in 2012 to supply food for U.S. troops in Afghanistan. It also had materials and equipment shipped through Iran—in violation of U.S. sanctions—to cut costs, the prosecutors said.

One of the defendants, former Anham chief executive Abdul Huda Farouki, is a prominent Democratic donor. He and his wife Samia gave the party and its candidates over $320,000 since the 1990s, including over $13,000 to the various campaigns of the Clintons, according to OpenSecrets.org. Farouki was also a member of the Clinton Global Initiative project.

The other defendants are Farouki’s brother Mazen, who headed a logistics company closely tied to Anham, and Salah Maarouf, who ran a company that procured goods and services for Anham.

Fake Construction

The massive supply contract required the contractor to have large warehouses to store food in Afghanistan. Anham claimed that the process of constructing such warehouses would be done well before the contract was to be awarded. But that was a lie, according to the indictment (pdf). The construction had barely started months after the company submitted its bid. To get the contract, the company arranged equipment and machinery “to create the false appearance of an active construction site,” the indictment alleges.

Sanctions

As the company finally progressed with the construction, it shipped major components of the warehouses through Iran in violation of sanctions placed on Iran by the Obama administration.

When the violation was reported in 2013 by The Wall Street Journal, Farouki lied to the Defense Department, saying Anham’s senior leadership didn’t know about the plan to ship through Iran. The defendants, in fact, “routinely discussed in internal communications the transshipment of warehouse components through Iran, for the purpose of saving time and decreasing the need to expend costs for the project prior to the awarding of the … contract,” the indictment reads.

Trucks Through Iran

In 2012, Anham also received at least $423 million in a Defense Department contract for trucking services in Afghanistan.

Similarly to the warehouse components, the company shipped trucks through Iran, “rather than ship trucks to Afghanistan using legal but relatively expensive routes,” the Justice Department stated in a Nov. 29 release….

    I suspect that a lot of this company’s money went to support the jihadists. The DemonRATs pretend to be empathetic, but they are really traitors to our Constitutional Republic.

      On Obama’s watch. So it figures. All involved, including Obama, should be tried for treason. Anything less makes mockery of our laws and criminal justice system. Unless, and until, enemy subversives (who operate with impunity within the Deep State) are prosecuted to the full extent of the law as seditionists and traitors, America will not survive.

    With the 100% coverage of the globe with sub-meter satellite resolution imagery for anywhere on earth, that can be repeated every few days, it is inconceivable that a company could pull this scam without help. And for nobody at DOD to be monitoring construction sites and verify building progress to verify buildings exist, is inexcusable if not just plain laughable. The fact that this was not done in this case leads me to believe that the corruption went up the chain quite a way. So much waste, fraud, and abuse can be easily detected with technology that is available to all of us (at a price). It does not cost that much to buy the imagery, and the fact is, that DOD has it all already…the best available This deserves an investigation, but no, it will be lost with the hundreds of other things that should be investigated but won’t be.

    If these guys were shipping through Iran, it’s a certainty that the Mullahs were getting a kickback. So our tax dollars were (maybe still are) funding Iran, who in turn is the foremost state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

    Since 9/11 there have been MORE than 30,000 Islamic terrorist attacks around the world.

    Islam is a cancer and a cancer must either be cut out of the body or killed… Islam can be killed through killing and executing ALL Muslim terrorists… through contact with some part of a pig. As Allah in the Qur’an has declared that an unclean Muslim may NEVER enter paradise. That will quite quickly destroy recruitment of young jihadists.

    Next, the very existence of Islam’s ‘holy’ sites must be held hostage to terrorist attacks ceasing. Every terrosist attack must be met with the consequence of a loss of an Islamic ‘holy’ site.

    You gain leverage over an enemy by connecting their actions to what for them is intolerable consequence. Use their own beliefs against them.

    Finally, incessant ridicule and contemptuous derision of Islam’s tenets will lead to young Muslims leaving their ‘religion’ and Islam will end up in history’s ash-heap.

    The West’s war with Islam must be psychological and intolerably consequential as much as physically deadly.

    Robert Spencer, you are a Christian. Why do you speak like an atheist?

    “So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.” – Matthew 10:26

    Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God. – 1 Corinthians 4:5

    Americans, do you realise what you are doing? Hiring a muslim Comp. to prepare the food for the American Army? You involved them into high posts in the US and you hire them to prepare your food there in Afghanistan? Ate you mad or plain S…..? Please, put your brain into gear. I don’t understand you any more.

    Now, wasn’t that a beautiful family picture of a lovely “American family”gotten asylum in the USA?
    Do we need those people for “diversity”. Be aware of every muslim, male or female, young or old.
    Watch is muslims are training with weapons in woods or training fields. And if that family had already so much money in their homecountry, why did they have to come to the States any way? Right!, to make more money, to become friends with the Elite, whom they will kill later. All cabal and illuminati !!!
    Butt it will all come out and what you took, it will be taken out from you, action and reaction. A Universal Law, not by your prophet, but by the Creator Himself.!!!

    And then to think that 12 Germains have to work a year to keep a refugee alife with all their costs, food, drink, house, scholing, medical care et.
    Nice deal for whom?. And muslims , your song was hilarious. We really laughed about it, and imagine,
    if we were like you, we would have gotten so upset about it and would immediately put a plan together to retaliate. , but we don’t kill and we don’t have long toes, only the difference is, you are killing and we don’t .You don’t understand Life at all and I really feel sorry for you, you will need another 1400 years and it will get harder and harder for you. May you listen one day for to the One God for all that is alife.
    The Creator!!!

    The filth in the Clinton and Obama administration is the reason for the hysteria about Trump. The one-party state is a dream of tyrants.
