After buying the King, Qatar wants to buy Bond.
Is there anywhere that Qatar, the Islamic terror state which has its bloody fingers in everything from Hamas to the Afghanistan collapse to Al Jazeera to 9/11 isn’t?
What about Hollywood?
Daniel Craig is looking for money in the desert; the financiers in the desert want Bond.
It sounds like a half-baked pitch for the next 007 film. In fact, it’s the reality of the present-day film industry: The British movie star is trying to secure financing for a passion project, a version of Shakespeare’s Othello, set in an American barracks in Iraq, from Middle Eastern governments including Qatar, according to people briefed on discussions.
This seems to be a revival of a dumb idea that Craig had starred in back in 2016 in theaters in which he played Iago. By then the Iraq War was fading, but now the whole thing is completely senseless. But I imagine Qatari backing could give it a further anti-American twist.
And then, why not James Bond?
Regardless of who plays Bond… the Qatari government has expressed quiet interest in a connection to upcoming films, the people said.
King Charles III got caught taking Qatari money.
Prince Charles’ office has denied there was any wrongdoing in the heir to the British throne accepting bags full of cash as charity donations from a Qatari politician

Evidently, everything in the West is for sale. Nothing is sacred to western politicians except $$$$$$$$.

So the next Bond movies: the al-Thanis send Bond out to hunt down
➤ People posting blasphemous posts online
➤ People caught eating/drinking during Ramadan
➤ Israelis trying to rescue their hostages (Bond vs Mossad, that should be exciting!)
➤ Salwan Momika, and rescue the quran he’s about to burn
On a more serious note, the late Roger Moore was the only Bond I liked

On a separate note, since we’ve seen Hollywood want to create woke Bonds – be it a female Bond, an LGBTQIA2S+ Bond & so on, wonder whether Doha will be interested? They can take this 2-spirit Bond of gender #29 and convert zim to islam, and then sent him on the adventures I listed above ?

He won’t be allowed to drink martinis (either shaken or stirred) though, unless they’re non-alcoholic.

My name? (Cue music) achmed…achmed mohammed
A dirty goat urine tainted water on the rocks in his blood seained hand…. shaken not stired.
His mission. Death, death, death & more death.
Yuk…imagine the love scenes? With his rather young bride dressed in that classic desert fashion we all love so much , the black sharia designed garbage bag.
What a movie!

I liked Roger Moore, but Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan were also great.
Rarely says
Sean Connery is James Bond. The others are just pretenders.

My favorite James Bond movie is the very first – Dr. No (1962).
Very “cool” characters (Sean Connery was superb), great acting – and no special effects just for the sake of special effects.
And, of course, the “drop dead” gorgeous Ursula Andress.

Gosh, far be it from me to rain on the parade, but do the Qataris know that Daniel Craig is happily married to Rachel Weisz?
Someone is going to have to break it to Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber bin Rashid bin Hazmat bin Ahmed bin Jihad bin Salman bin Abbas bin Al Thani.
Jayell1 says
So Sheikh Hamad’s life story begins in a series of bins. I think we all guessed that.
Mick says
As long as he doesn’t black-up and talk like Paul Robeson, and slide around the stage like Sammy the Snaketreader.

America is supporting these islamic thugs just as they dream it should be. They don’t have to be here or fight us just control the flow of OiI, buy a few political leaders and the BILLIONS flow in. Along with the ability to purchase and fund the long term project of controlling AMERICA.
Before we can produce enough electric vehicles to stop our dependency on muslim oil they will have bought America.
