The following Al Jazeera article explains why American women must vote
for the Jewish candidate Bernie Sanders, and not for the Christian candidate
Hilary Clinton. Al Jazeera is the Qatari state-owned news agency, which is
basically owned by the King (Emir) of Qatar. If Hilary Clinton wins the
nomination, and then the general election in November 2016, she will be the
first female American President in history. However Al Jazeera is trying to
convince American women to make Sanders the first Jewish President of the
United States, instead of making Hilary Clinton the first female one.
See “Why women should support Sanders not Clinton”, February 2016.

“Al-Jazeera expected to cut hundreds of jobs”, September 2015
1st
and 2nd
Paragraph
Al-Jazeera is expected to cut hundreds of jobs worldwide as the Qatari-owned
broadcaster looks to make savings in the face of a falling oil price and a possible radical
change in investment strategy.
The surprise move will not only see an estimated 800 to 1,000 staff go – almost one
quarter of the total workforce – but could presage the emir of Qatar reducing the state’s

4. commitment to the news media group that was supported by his father. The news
organisation has been a hugely successful way of maintaining influence in the Arab
world and beyond.
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/sep/22/al-jazeera-expected-to-cut-hundreds-of-
jobs-qatar-oil-price
Al-Jazeera’s preference for the Jewish candidate is very strange, given that
Qatar, together with Turkey and Iran, is arming Hamas. Hamas is the
Islamist organization running Gaza, and in its covenant was openly asking
for the Israel’s annihilation, and it is also a big time anti-Semitic
organization. Hamas had to accept some changes due to the pressure
exercised by some foreign governments, but everybody knows that this has
to do with the way Hamas promotes itself, and not with a real change of
attitude towards Israel. See for example See also Anti-Defamation League
“Hamas in Their Own Words”.
http://www.adl.org/anti-semitism/muslim-arab-world/c/hamas-in-their-own-
words.html?referrer=https://www.google.gr/#.VslnOPl95dg
See also the Guardian. “Hamas drops call for destruction of Israel from
manifesto”, January 2006.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/jan/12/israel
Therefore, to say the least, it is a bit funny to see support towards Bernie
Sanders by a media outlet owned by the Qatari King, who in turn is funding
the anti-Semitic Hamas. What is even funnier is that even though Al Jazeera
belongs to a King, it is a center-left or even a left news agency, and its
viewers are socialists, as you can read at the following Washington Post

5. article. See “Ranking the media from liberal to conservative, based on their
audiences”.
Image 1 Left and Right Media
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/10/21/lets-rank-the-
media-from-liberal-to-conservative-based-on-their-audiences/
Therefore one wonders how it is possible for a news agency which belongs
to the Qatari King to have leftist journalists, being watched by a leftist
audience, and at the same time support the Jewish candidate in the American
elections. And this gets more confusing when it is taken into account that
Qatar is funding some of the most fanatic Islamic terrorist organizations
around the globe. See for example the Telegraph “Qatar and Saudi Arabia

2014.

After the 9/11 attack at the Twin Towers, Al Jazeera mentioned that the
Jews who worked at the Twin Towers had been warned and did not go to
their work on the day of the attack. See for example Wikipedia.
“Al Jazeera controversies and criticism”
1st
Paragraph
An article in the American Journalism Review noted that critics of Al-Jazeera have
"assailed what they see as anti-Semitic, anti-American bias in the channel's news
content."[7] An example cited from earlier years was a report in Al-Jazeera that Jews
had been informed in advance not to go to work on the day of the September 11 attacks,
which was criticized by an October 2001 editorial in the New York Times. An often-
repeated example involves an on-air birthday party organized by Al Jazeera's Beirut
bureau chief for a Lebanese militant convicted of killing four Israelis, including a four-
year-old girl. Al Jazeera greeted Samir Kuntar, released in a July 2008 prisoner swap,
as a hero. A more recent example given by the article is the weekly show "Sharia and
Life" by Yusuf Qaradawi, an Egyptian cleric who, according to a February 2011 article

7. in The Atlantic, "argues clearly and consistently that hatred of Israel and Jews is
Islamically sanctioned."[7][8]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera_controversies_and_criticism
Before explaining what is going on, I hope it is obvious that there is
something wrong to when you have a leftist news agency, owned by an Arab
Islamist King who fights Israel, watched by a leftist public, which is also
supporting the Jewish candidate. Only socialists and Islamists are capable of
being so silly.
Note that in order to operate in United States, Al Jazeera had to buy a
license, and the Emir of Qatar paid 500 million dollars to buy Al Gore’s tv
channel i.e. “Current TV”. Al Gore was the vice president of the Clinton
administration. After paying 500 million dollars for Current TV, Al-Jazeera
American also hired 800 journalists in the United States, and spent another 2
billion dollars promoting the channel. See for example Wall Street Journal.
“Al Jazeera to Shut Down American News Channel”, January 2016
1st
, 2nd
, 3rd
Paragraph
When Al Jazeera America was launched to great fanfare in 2013, its then-leader boasted
he didn’t have to worry too much about profits.
After all, the cable news channel was backed by the oil-and-gas-rich government of
Qatar, and oil was trading around $100 a barrel.
On Wednesday, with oil trading near $30, Al Jazeera made an about-face, announcing it
was shutting its American cable channel by April 30 for economic reasons.
7th Paragraph
But the U.S. channel faced acute financial challenges of its own. After purchasing Al
Gore’s Current TV for nearly $500 million, Al Jazeera put some $2 billion into Al

8. Jazeera America, said people familiar with the matter. It hired some 800 journalists at
launch and opened 12 bureaus around the U.S.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/al-jazeera-to-shut-down-american-news-
channel-1452713303
Can you imagine how many American academics and journalists where
bought by Qatar with these 2 billion dollars? Actually these 2 billion dollars
are peanuts when compared to what Qatar invests in the United States. Only
for the next 5 years Qatar is planning to invest 35 billion dollars in United
States. See for example Bloomberg “Qatar Planning $35 Billion of U.S.
Investments to Diversify”, September 2015.
1st
, 2nd
Paragraphs
Qatar plans to invest $35 billion in the U.S. over the next five years as it seeks to
diversify assets.
The Qatar Investment Authority, which helps manage the country’s energy-generated
wealth, opened an office in New York to "better access new and existing investment
partners," the sovereign fund said in a statement Monday. It will target various sector of
the U.S. economy and help create American jobs, Qatar’s ambassador to Washington,
D.C., Mohammed Al Kuwari, said in Twitter postings, without giving more details on
potential investments.

billion-of-u-s-investments-with-new-york-office
Qatar and the other petro-states of the Persian Gulf also invest heavily in
American universities and think tanks, and have great influence over
professors, who in turn use their push their students in adopting an anti-
Israel view of the Middle East. This does not have to do only with Israel. It

9. is a more important problem, and it has to do with the Islamization of
American and European universities by leftist professors funded by petro-
states. See for example the following articles from Financial Times and New
York Times.
“Western universities’ reputations at stake in Gulf links”, October 2013
1st
, 2nd
, 3rd
, 4th
Paragraphs
Educational establishments based in the west are facing funding crises as they seek to
maintain their reputations for academic excellence. Meanwhile, Gulf states, flush with oil
wealth, are tackling domestic education crises. Too many members of their growing
young populations are failing to acquire relevant skills.
The result has been an increase in financial links between top British, North American
and French universities with their regional political allies in the Gulf, such as Qatar and
the United Arab Emirates.
Under the financial patronage of Sheikha Moza bint Nasser al-Missned, the wife of
Qatar’s recently departed emir, the gas-rich state has attracted eight institutions to a
sprawling campus on the outskirts of Doha, the capital. Premier institutions such as the
University of Paris-Sorbonne and New York University have benefited from Abu Dhabi’s
oil riches by setting up satellite campuses in the UAE capital.
The financial risk to the western universities of their partnerships in Qatar and Abu
Dhabi are removed by generous Gulf state funding.
10th
Paragraph
Foreign universities tend to accept there are unwritten rules about what can and cannot
be said in the context of specific projects,” says Ghanem Nuseibeh, founder of
Cornerstone Global Associates, a consultancy, and a fellow at King’s College London.

Therefore it is not surprising that American and European leftist professors
are so anti-Israel, and they make sure their students are anti-Israel too. See
for example “Anti-Israel events skyrocket on US campuses”, October 2015.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/203702#.Vsl24Pl95dg
Israel has a strong army due to its alliance with the United States, but when
it comes to communication it is literally destroyed by the Muslim counries.
Remember that Israel has a GDP of only 300 billion dollars, while the
Muslim countries have a GDP of many trillion dollars when added together.
Just Saudi Arabia has a GDP of 750 billion dollars (2014). Moreover there
are less than 15 million Jews, with Israel included, while there are 1.6 billion
Muslims. And it is the Muslim countries i.e. the Arabs and the Iranians, who
have the oil. That’s why it is so easy for the Muslims to buy leftist
professors and journalists in Europe and the United States.
For the cooperation between the American and European left and the
Islamists in the 21st
century see also “The So-Called Wars of Religion”.
https://iakal.wordpress.com/2016/01/31/the-so-called-wars-of-religion/

11. Having said all that, I have to ask once more why on earth Al Jazeera is
friendly towards Bernie Sanders? The arguments of the Al Jazeera article is
that Clinton has never denounce the Israeli colonialists, and that Bernie
Sanders is more socialist than Hilary Clinton. I must also say that the reason
the King (Emir) of Qatar can afford to be a King and at the same time being
a socialist, who is also loved by the European and American socialists, is
that tiny Qatar has a population of only 300 thousand people, while it is the
larger exporter of liquefied natural gas in the world. There are approximately
2.2 million people living in Qatar, but only 300 thousands of them are Qatari
citizens, with the rest of them being economic immigrants.
Qatar is the largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the world, and
it is the richest country in terms of per capita GDP i.e. country income /
population. Therefore the “socialist” King can be very generous to the Qatari
people, and he can be very generous towards the European and American
socialists. It is like if I have 1.000.000 euro by myself (Qatar) and someone
else has 10.000.000 euros but he also have 10.000 kids. I have 1.000.000 for
myself, while the neighbors have 10.000.000/ 10.000 = 1.000 euros each.
Therefore I have the liquidity to buy socialists in Europe and the United
States, and also Jihadists in the Muslim World.
So what is it that would make Qatar, and other oil and gas exporting
countries to fund the campaign of Bernie Sanders, or even support him
without funding him, just by using their huge influence in the media and
universities? I am not saying that Qatar bought Bernie Sanders. I am just
saying that Qatar likes Bernie Sanders. I really have no idea whether Qatar is
directly or indirectly funding his campaign. I really hate conspiracy theories

12. and truthers. After all the Obama policy towards Iran is not good for Qatar.
It is true of course that Obama sees Islamists in a positive way. Remember
that Obama recently visited a Mosque which in the past was connected to
radical Islam. See Fox News “Baltimore mosque set for Obama visit has
controversial ties”, February 2016.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/02/01/baltimore-mosque-set-for-
obama-visit-has-controversial-ties.html
Obama, like most left and center-left politicians likes Islamists, and more
than appreciates their business. However the Obama policy towards Iran did
not help Qatar. I am trying to say that I am not looking for conspiracy
theories. I am just examining economic interests. I do not even think the Al
Gore deal with Qatar was suspicious. I used the example to show the extent
of the Qatari influence. Al Gore is a businessman and has every right to do
what he did. It is a good thing to have businessmen in politics rather than
having academics, journalists and lawyers.
Why does Qatar Likes Bernie Sanders
The truth is that Qatar likes Bernie Sanders mainly for two reasons. The first
one, and the least important I think, is that Bernie Sanders is a socialist Jew,
and like most socialists Jews he is hostile towards Israel. Sanders is similar
to the communist American-Jewish intellectual Noam Chomski, who blames
Israel for everything that goes wrong. Noam Chomski is always used by the
socialists and the Islamists as an example of a good Jew, and he was even

13. banned from entering Israel. See Haaretz “Noam Chomsky Denied Entry
Into Israel and West Bank”, May 2010.
http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/noam-chomsky-denied-entry-into-
israel-and-west-bank-1.290701
For Bernie Sanders tough stance towards Israel since the 90s see Haaretz
“Sanders in 1990: Wish U.S. Would Pressure Israel Harder on Palestinian
Issue”, February 2016. Haaretzh is the oldest Israeli newspaper and it
belongs to the center-left, and it is very critical towards Netanyahu. I mean it
is not that Haaretz does not like Sanders because he is a socialist.
http://www.haaretz.com/world-news/u-s-election-2016/.premium-1.701787?
utm_content=%24sections
%2F1.701787&utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_source=SMARTFOCUS&utm
_campaign=1339605&utm_term=20160206-20%3A02
However I think the main reason the Qataris like Bernie Sanders is not his
anti-Israel attitude, but something else. With the new production techniques
developed by the American energy companies, it became possible to
produce oil and gas from shale rock, and the United States is very rich in
shale rock. Actually the United States became the largest producer of oil and
gas, even though it is still the largest importer of oil due to the huge size of
the American economy. See Bloomberg “U.S. Seen as Biggest Oil Producer
After Overtaking Saudi”, July 2014.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-07-04/u-s-seen-as-biggest-
oil-producer-after-overtaking-saudi

14. The American oil and gas production made the American political elite
hungry for even more money and power, and they want a larger share of this
production for themselves, even though they always talk in the name of the
people and democracy. One of Sanders’ most important political views is to
tax more the American energy companies, as you can see at his site (taken
on 15.2.2016).
“Combating Climate Change to Save the Planet” (taken 15.2.2015)
Right now, we have an energy policy that is rigged to boost the profits of big oil
companies like Exxon, BP, and Shell at the expense of average Americans. CEO’s are
raking in record profits while climate change ravages our planet and our people — all
because the wealthiest industry in the history of our planet has bribed politicians into
complacency in the face of climate change. Enough is enough. It’s time for a political
revolution that takes on the fossil fuel billionaires, accelerates our transition to clean
energy, and finally puts people before the profits of polluters.
-Senator Bernie Sanders
https://berniesanders.com/issues/climate-change/
Imposing even larger taxes on American companies will not only make
Sanders and the American political elite richer and stronger, but will also
increase the price of oil and natural gas, and that will make the American
production less competitive, which is extremely useful for the large
producers of oil and gas abroad i.e. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia etc.
Therefore Sanders, the Arabs, the Iranians and the Russians, they all have
common interests. That’s why you see Qatar being so friendly towards a
Jewish candidate.

15. The term “resource curse” refers to a strange phenomenon, under which rich
in resources countries tend to have slower growth, more corruption and less
democracy. It is not a coincidence that Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey and
Russia, who are the biggest international terrorists, are sitting on the Persian
Gulf – Caspian Sea – West Siberia axis, which holds approximately 2/3 of
the worlds oil and gas reserves.
Map 1 The Axis of Oil and Natural Gas
It is always easier for socialist and Islamist dictators to rise to power in
countries that are rich in resources. They simply have to promise everything
to everyone and people will like them and they will give them power. It is
the same story in Saudi Arabia, Iran, the Soviet Union etc. See Wikipedia
“Resource Curse”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_curse

16. Therefore now that the US can produce large quantities of oil and natural gas
there will be hungry socialist elite that will desire more and more of it.
Bernie Sanders might just be the beginning of the “resource curse” for the
United States. However it would take sometime for American socialists to
transform the United States to a socialist dictatorship, because the United
States has a strong constitution that protects it, and many years of capitalism
made sure there is a strong institutional framework. However for a
beginning Bernie Sanders could transform the United States to something
like Norway. In Norway capitalism came first, and it created a strong
institutional framework. See “The Swedish Economic Model : A Socialist or
a Free Market Success”?
When oil was discovered in Norway in the late 60s it was not possible for
the Norwegian socialists to transform the country to a socialist dictatorship.
But it is very early to say what will happen, given that oil in Norway was
discovered only 45 years ago. After all, Norway might have a large oil and
gas production, but her reserves are peanuts when compared to the Arab,
Iranians and Russian ones. You can also see that Norway does not do very
bad in terms of economic freedom. Norway comes 32nd
in the world ranking
of economic freedom.

Bernie Sanders and Israel
Something else that worries me about Sanders rise, is how it relates to Israel.
The Arab Spring, the improvement in the US-Iran relations, and the Turkish-
Israeli hostility, have created great dangers for Israel’s security. Some
analysts believe that Israel will not survive the Arab Spring. See for example

18. “Op-Ed: New Study: 'Preparing for a Post Israel Middle East”, September
2012.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/12159#.VsG8U_l9
5dg
The United States have reduced their army in the Middle East, and the US-
Iran rapprochement forced the Russians to bring to Syria their most modern
military equipment in terms of radars, aircraft and anti-aircraft missiles.
Among other things the Russians want to make sure that after the abolition
of economic sanctions against Iran, Iran will not try to construct the Iran-
Iraq-Syria pipeline without Gazprom. Russia might actually decide to block
Iran in Syria.
But the huge Russian presence in Syria forces Israel to cooperate with
Russia, so that Russia does not intervene when Israel attacks Iranian arm
cargoes to South Lebanon (Hezbollah) and the Golan Heights at the Syrian-
Israeli borders. Remember that both Hezbollah and Iran have as an official
policy the annihilation of Israel. But if the Israelis cooperate with the
Russians, they will not be as useful as they used to be for the United States.
The fact that the Israeli-Russian cooperation is to a large extent a by-product
of the American foreign policy does not matter. It is not the causes but the
outcome that matters.
At the following Yahoo article you can read that the CIA considers the
Israelis as the number one threat for espionage. See Yahoo “US sees Israel,
tight Mideast ally, as spy threat”, July 2012.

19. http://news.yahoo.com/us-sees-israel-tight-mideast-ally-spy-threat-
132232395.html
It is not uncommon for secret agencies of allied countries to spy on each
other. But for the United States it is very different when Israel is cooperating
cooperate with Russia, because American secrets could end up to Russia, at
least theoretically speaking. And I will say once more that one cannot use
the argument that it was the American foreign policy that led to the Israeli-
Russian cooperation, because it is the outcome that matters. And the
outcome is that Israel and Russia are cooperating against Turkey, a common
enemy, while the United States are cooperating with Turkey against Russia.
Even though the Turkish-American relations are simply a shadow of what
they used to be in the past. And it is again the Turks who attacked Israel and
destroyed the Turkish-Israeli alliance, but again it is the outcome that
matters.
Israel’s cooperation with Russia makes Israel less useful for the United
States, and that’s a big problem because it is only the United States that can
keep Israel alive. Moreover Israel is a thorn in the normalization of the US-
Iranian relations. The war against Israel has been for Iran a great advantage
in its effort to counterbalance the influence of the Turks and the Saudis in
the Muslim World. The Iranians are Shiite (Shia) Muslims, and Shia
Muslims are only 15-20% of the Muslim population, while the Turks and the
Saudis are Sunni Muslims, and 80-85% of the Muslim population are Sunni
Muslims.

20. Israel was a great advantage in Iran’s effort for influence in the Muslim
World, given that Turkey and Israel were until recently allies, and given that
Saudi Arabia could not attack Israel as forcefully as Iran could, since Saudi
Arabia was an American ally. Now Saudi Arabia and Israel are cooperating
against Iran.
I believe that the United States will never want to destroy Israel, which is the
only democracy of the Middle East. However the question is whether the
United States will be willing to carry the cost of keeping Israel alive. The
Democrats believe more in the US-Iranian rapprochement and care less
about Israel. After all it is the Obama policy that jeopardized Israel’s
security, even though I believe it was done unintentionally. I do not mean
that Obama did that to destroy Israel. He is just very tolerant towards
Islamists and he does not care too much about Israel. The Republicans are
less tolerant towards Islamists and care more about Israel. At least that’s the
rule.
Therefore the Democrats, even though unintentionally, are responsible for
the great threats that Israel is facing today. If some circles within the
democrats expect, or even wish, that Israel falls, they would see favorably a
Jewish candidate, who is also anti-Israel. If Israel falls, and the Turks, the
Arabs and the Iranians invade Israel there will be a second Holocaust, only
70 years after the first one. The Americans and the Europeans would not
want to be held accountable for a second Holocaust. Therefore Israel’s fall
would seem much better for the American Democrats, if a Jew was their
leader, or even the President of the United States.

21. This might again sound like a conspiracy theory but it is not. I am only
saying that some circles within the Democrats might seem a Jewish
candidacy as an insurance against a second Holocaust. Moreover, for the
pure anti-Israel ones, an anti-Israel Jewish president would be a great
weapon, because it would be a disaster for Israel. Imagine what would
happen if Noam Chomsky was the American president. His constant attacks
to Israel would convince everybody that Israel is doing something wrong.
How else could people who do not follow politics explain the attacks on
Israel by a Jewish American President? Most people have no idea about
socialism, Islamism, oil ect.
At the following map you can see the problems associated with Israel’s
security. At Southern Lebanon Israel is facing Hezbollah, which is supported
by Iran and Russia, at the South Israel is facing Hamas, which is supported
by Iran, Turkey and Qatar. At the east i.e. the West Bank and Jordan, Israel
might soon have to face ISIS, because hundreds of thousands of immigrants
have infiltrated in Jordan, and ISIS is now very strong in Jordan and the
West Bank. At the Golan Heights Israel is facing ISIS and Iran, which are
fighting each other about who is going to better position itself. Hamas,
Hezbollah, ISIS and Iran, all are openly asking for the annihilation of Israel.
Map 2 Israel

22. https://lax2tlvbus404.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/map-of-israel.jpg
Therefore there is a great economic and diplomatic for the United States, if
they want to keep Israel alive. And at the other side of the scale is Israel’s
usefulness to the United States, and the ethics of saving the only Jewish state
in the world. But Israel’s cooperation with Russia, and the US-Iranian
normalization, reduces Israel’s usefulness. Therefore it is mostly the ethics

23. of saving the Jewish state at the other side of the scale, and that’s not good
for Israel, because international relations are not based on ethics, at least not
for most of their part. Therefore the United States might say that they will
offer Israel some limited financial and military aid, and after that Israel
should do what it can to survive. There is a place for Bernie Sanders in such
a scenario.
To make a long story short, Bernie Sanders might be useful for the
American political elite that wants a larger share of the oil and gas
production, but also for Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, i.e. the countries
that will benefit from Sanders heavy taxes on American energy companies.
At the same time Sanders could be convenient to the Democrats in case
Israel falls, because it would be much harder to accuse the Democrats for
jeopardizing Israel’s security while they are having a Jewish leader. Who
will blame the Democrats, if they have elected a Jew as their leader? On the
other hand the Democrats might be simply using Sanders to threaten Israel,
both for its disrespect to Obama, and also for its cooperation with Russia.
Sanders might be convenient for many different reasons at the same time,
and that has nothing to do with conspiracy theories. It is just politics. After
all Sanders might not even be elected, and I hope he is not. American Jews
had a contribution in making America great. It is a disgrace that it is a Jew
who is trying to steal America from its people, simply by using cheap
rhetoric and promising everything to everybody. It is not a coincidence that
Sander’s most fanatic supporters are students. Many of us have been
students, and we all know how students think. Actually we all know how

24. students don’t think. Most of them don’t even know that it was capitalism
that made American great.
And if Sanders is elected, and he hurts the American economy with his
socialist policies, he will be used by the socialists, the Arabs and the Iranians
as a great example of a Jewish conspiracy. They will say that he caused
financial pain on the US not because he was a socialist, but because he was a
Jew. People who do not live in socialist or Islamist countries have no idea
about how propaganda works. But we do. See also “The True Causes of
Greek Anti-Semitism”.
