Pres. Mubarak steals 40 billion dollars

[Lorien]

Hosni Mubarak has taken real estate, liquid cash, royal yachts, and has 40 billion in cash and assets hidden away in banks around the world for easy access namely in: Germany, United States, UK, Switzerland, Scotland, England, Dubai, Madrid and other countries. The Alaa Mubarak has properties both inside the country or in the United States major cities of Washington, LA and New York on the finest streets of the land.

His wife Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak and their two sons also are incredibly wealthy and the first lady has another 3-5 billion for her own personal use.
Mubarak’s wealth also has ties to large corporate US interests such as:
Marlboro, Hermes, Mcdonalds, Vodafone, Hyundai, Chili and other large corporations.

It is no surprise that the people of Egypt are starving, jobless and have been robbed of their countries wealth because President Mubarak and his greedy relatives have stolen all from his own country.

1. Great, an Egyptian Ferdinand Marcos.

To paraphrase an Alan Sherman song, "No wonder why the people are revolting, because Hosni, you're pretty revolting yourself".

[lonestarnot]

17. I hope the people beat his wife to the shoe buy out. Anyone throwing any?

[elehhhhna]

59. An Egyptian Republican

[Catherina]

2. 40 billion. Spend it quickly Hosni, you're not going to get to keep it. n/t

[pokerfan]

3. steal a little and they throw you in jail; steal a lot and they make you king (nt)

[Skink]

4. This goes directly to the BFEE.

thanks Mubarack.

[Raster]

5. Methinks Pharaoh Hosni's days are at an end.

Bulletin to G-Dumb-ya: They don't hate us for our freedoms, Asshat. They hate us because we've enabled cruel despots that have tortured citizens and stolen their futures.

[notesdev]

6. wow

that's almost enough stolen money to make the Wall St. second team!

[Imagevision]

39. K&R!

[glinda]

7. So is it our money that he stole and then recycled into various ventures

that in some cases benefitted some people here as well as elsewhere? If so, a ton of homeless people here should move onto his properties here. Should sell the rest and give it back to the taxpayers.

[liberation]

33. Yeah

Apparently no other country in the world can make any of their own money, that they have to take ours.

[glinda]

46. Was referring to all of the aid that we have given them for sure.

[pnorman]

8. Here's the cited source ot that article:

http://jpnews-sy.net/en/ I'll dig through it later to see what may be there in way of confirmation.

[wisteria]

54. Make sure you do that. n/t

[pnorman]

75. I set it aside for later, and quite forgot about it until now!

I'll probably try later this evening. But how about you? Can you find anything in that site?

[Marr]

9. I'd bet you cash money that he's a minority share holder of alot of US infrastructure, too.

Guys like this are exactly what the end stage of our system is going to look like. Just a handful of remaining con-men sitting on top of what's left of the country's wealth, and shoveling it out as fast as they can. And they'll wear patriotic lapel pins while they do it.

[bhikkhu]

10. Wikileaks might have reported that

but the US Department of Justice has had their bank accounts frozen and made their access to the internet quite difficult...

[CreekDog]

11. No wonder he wants his son to be the next president

anyone else will hang them all. :wtf:

[madmax]

12. BILLION! Unbelievable

He needs to GO and now.

[lonestarnot]

18. Why unbelievable?

[madmax]

21. Been clueless about how much the US sends

to foreign countries in the form of 'aid'. Seems more like bribes to me.

Charity begins at home.

And where the fuck are those pallets of cash sent to Afganistan!?!?!?!? :mad:

[lonestarnot]

23. They're just missing.

:shrug:

[madmax]

24. Hell, they could have misplaced them

in my yard. I wouldn't mind :evilgrin:

[liberation]

34. Most of that money does not come from the US

Mubarack stole it from his own people, which is why they are sort of pissed off.

[lonestarnot]

42. Not talking about the same missings.

:D

[Hannah Bell]

13. the wealth stolen by mubarak, i'd warrant, ain't a patch on the wealth stolen by his funders.

[Lorien]

15. One has to wonder about that...

maybe that's what the REAL panic over Wikileaks is all about!

[rucognizant]

72. OF COURSE IT IS! NO BRAINER!

[Hydra]

29. Considering his funders own the printing presses

He's a small fry.

Puts it in perspective, doesn't it? To be a world player you have to steal 10s of billions. To be a power? You need to steal hundreds of trillions.

[Initech]

14. Excellent, keep exposing the corporate criminals for who they are!

[malaise]

16. You know they're finished with him when we hear how much

he's stolen. The real criminals are the banks and Western governments who bribe these criminals.

[formercia]

19. That's what you get for benefits when a member of the Club.

Those little perks.

[malaise]

20. That's the truth

:hi:

[Imagevision]

41. K&R!

[slay]

22. You know.. this sounds a lot like what corporations do here

they have offshore tax shelters where they hide their money, most pay no taxes, buy politicians through "lobbyists" - those high up in the corporations are insanely rich - and getting richer all the time while the rest of us barely make it paycheck to paycheck - and many of us these days aren't getting paychecks because the rich fucks aren't hiring. And worst of all, when we need it most, Obama doesn't believe in creating government jobs so we are well and truly at the mercy of these mega-corporations - slaves to them even - as they continue to outsource all our jobs - revolution will be coming here very soon as well at this rate.

[katnapped]

27. Ya think?!?!?

Just saying....

[pam4water]

37. I was thinking that!

[defendandprotect]

50. The more wealth the rich have the easier it is to buy government and politicians ...

and government agencies to bend to their will --

[BobbyBoring]

51. Yes Siree

The good old American way

[Citizen Worker]

58. "...revolution will be coming here very soon as well at this rate." I continue to be hopeful.

[eleny]

25. Sounds like the Saudi Royals

[FourScore]

26. How many pairs of shoes does his wife have? n/t

[somone]

44. More than one, that's for sure

http://www2.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Bastille+Day+Celebrations+Proceed+Champs+Elysees+k37NZGuKeHcl.jpg
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's wife Suzanne Mubarak attend the ceremony of the Bastille Day, on July 14, 2008 in Paris.

[JDPriestly]

47. Bastille Day???? The irony.

Regardless of the country, how could the leader while skimming off the top of the earnings of his impoverished people attend a Bastille Day celebration and not stop to think about how the fate of the French aristocracy might one day be his own?

Incredible fools.

[Raschel]

28. K & R

[earth mom]

30. I'd love to see a tally on how much the powers that be in THIS country have stolen from it's people.

Untold Trillions NO DOUBT! :grr:

[Angry Dragon]

31. He just learned well from the elites of this country

They rob us blind everyday

[liberation]

36. Not really, if anything he did a piss poor job at it.

I haven't seen the poor in Egypt rise up and defend Mubarack, which is what the elites in this country manage to get away with. It is a talent that few people can master. Which is why the elites in this country manage to be so rich, and hold power for such extended periods of time.

[BobbyBoring]

52. And taht os a big problem

We have millions of morans that openly support the mouths that bite them. Somehow, they can't figure out that Rush and Beck are members of the club. And they call us stuped~

[Imagevision]

32. I wonder who ended up with the mysteriously disappearing 18 Billion from Iraq?

[pam4water]

35. 40 Billion really D: That is about 50 a person in Egypt in just his liquid assets.

[pokerfan]

49. Wouldn't that be 500 per person?

Or did Egypt's population just skyrocket?

[Prometheus Bound]

38. This OP lacks credibility.

Not a single source provided.

On the original website it is listed as the most popular article, along with:
- An indian man hasn't eaten nor drank for 70 years
- A Syrian man has twenty-two toes and fingers

http://www.jpnews-sy.com/en/news.php?id=709

[JDPriestly]

48. You are right, Prometheus Bound.

I can't find the name of any human being who takes responsibility for this website.

[toniD]

40. Not all Companies American

Hermes-French
Hyundai-Korean
Vodafone-British

That leaves Marlboro and Chilis

[Uncle Joe]

43. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Lorien.

[Obamanaut]

45. How much of the aid the US sends annually goes into his personal account?

This may well be the ideal time to review ALL foreign aid.

[wisteria]

53. I consider this type of news propaganda promoted to stir up those who want to over throw the

government. I worry more about what happens if Mubark goes. Over throwing their governments didn't go so well for the Russians,the French or the Iranians. For the most part, those who came to power after the overthrow, were crueler or crazier.
I am most likely in the minority here, but I think Murbark should stay, at least for the time being, with major changes in the elections and following leadership.
I don't hate people just because they have more than me.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

55. I am sick to death of subsidizing dictators

around the world. One word about cutting SS or
medicare for our people then our government can
go to hell. People are fed up with this garbage.

[upi402]

56. Bush will kiss him on the lips after holding hands thru the flower garden next. n/t

[indimuse]

57. Well..I'm seeing the same thing here (the THEFT) and STILL

not soul in JAIL! NO! In America..They get REWARDED! ;) it'z all good...

[saras]

60. No wonder we support him

He's doing his best to behave like one of the big boys. No wonder we're so hesitant about using the word 'democracy' and the word 'Egypt' in the same sentence. He's our kind of leader.

Of course, for the sarcasm-deficient, by 'we' I am referring to our current and past government and only a few members of DU, not DU as a whole.

[AnnieBW]

61. The Mafia should be offended

He's giving the Mafia a bad name.

[CLANG]

62. I wonder how much of that $40 billion was our (taxpayers) money.

[Orsino]

63. Amateur.

Dubya stole something on the order of two trillion.

[Taverner]

64. Get him out. Seize as many assets of his that you can. Deny him entry to Egypt for life.

That would be the only ethical and logical conclusion.

[dotymed]

67. Additionally,

he should be prosecuted at the Hague and questioned relentlessly. The answers to these questions of who, how much, etc...should be made public.

[Taverner]

68. Perhaps later, but right now we want them to turn themselves in

Promise jail sentences, and they will never turn themselves in.

[Taverner]

70. Perhaps. I think the Hague would have the most just result for him

[Jefferson23]

65. K&R

[Jefferson23]

66. K&R

[jerseyjack]

69. "Its no surprise the people of Egypt are starving, jobless....."

Well Sparky, its the same here in the U.S.

[madrchsod]

71. the syrians do`t like him?

[customerserviceguy]

73. Name a Third World country where this isn't happening

Especially one which has had the same ruler for five or more years. After thirty, you can salt away much more than you'll ever need.

We already know they do this, it buys their cooperation for the time while they're piling it up in Switzerland.

[RedCloud]

74. 'e gipped them out of their money.

[kirby]

76. And we funded it by filling our gas tanks n/t

[Amonester]

77. I bet Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak told the hungry joblesses to eat cake.

Liberte Egalite Fraternite

Ignorer l'histoire et elle se repetera.
