Reply #29: The final dots: From Bush & Adnan via Skyways & Oryx to Al Qaeda

[DrDebug]

According to Bill White, James Bath's former business partner the original Skyways was setup by George H.W. Bush as a quasi-private aircraft firm that would basically engage in CIA-sponsored activities funded by the Saudi Royal Family. He explained that the Saudis had basically entered into a quid pro quo relationship with Bush and that Bush when he was CIA Director worked with the head of Saudi Intelligence. James Bath was recommended by George Jr. (1)

Who is the real magician?

In 1974 in Sharjah, United American Emirate, (2) Sheik Kamal Adham, director of Saudi intelligence, and Adnan Khashoggi started Oryx Investments. (3)

The company’s seed investors were Saudis with Agency ties, including Shiek Kamal Adham, Adnan Khashoggi, and Prince Nawaf bin Abdul Aziz (a major investor in Barrick, codenamed “Tumbleweed” by his CIA contacts). (4)

Together with Wallace Hilliard they bought Huffman Aviation in 1999 and hired convicted and wanted criminal (5) Rudi Dekkers to run it. (6)

Khalid bin Mahfouz, Khashoggi's banker, who was once the director of BCCI, set up a charity organization called the Muwaffaq Foundation in 1992. (7) He funded this charity with $30 million. In October 2001, the US Treasury Department labeled Muwaffaq Foundation a front for Al-Qaeda. (8)

In June of 2005 Swiss investigators decided to pursue an investigation into Yassin al-Kadi, who was a Saudi billionaire that not only helped found Muwaffaq, but also was an initial major investor in Ptech. (9) This was also right around the same time the Swiss dropped their investigation into al-Taqwa due to a lack of evidence since the Bahamas wasn't so keen on turning that info over. (10) It is unclear whether this was related to al-Taqwa's lawyer being the son of the Bahama's current Governor General. (11)
