truthseeker, it appears that it is your reading that is selective. You appear to base your defense of Tony, and his well-established ties to terrorism, on dated and irrelevant pre 9/11 cut and paste articles. The "correction" you used as your source of info that al-Qadi's Mercy had no ties to the 1998 bombings of the embassies is made moot by numerous facts made known after 9/98. Also, it is made moot by the fact that the press will print "corrections" to evade lawsuits, lawsuits that are used by agents of terrorism and organized crime to silence the press and quash information. Researchers and reporters are also intimidated into silence and retractions by these same agents.
You have failed to address that Tony's brother Khaled was an agent of the IIRO and Suliman al-Ali. al-Ali raised funds for the IIRO. IIRO had extensive contacts with Islamist terrorist organizations including al Qaeda and Hamas. The IIRO, and Mercy, played a role in the financing of the bombings of the US embassies in Africa. You have yet to address, at all, Tony's ties to the IIRO, and al-Ali, through his brother, Khaled. Logs from Tony's website document that Tony was on the phone with his brother, at the "Pentagon" as the terrorists planes took out the twin towers on 9/11. Osama bin Laden’s brother-in-law, Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, ran IIRO's office in the Phillipines. In 1996, a State Department report disclosed evidence of IIRO's support of terrorism and financing of Hamas. The State Dept disclosed that Mohammed Jamal Khalifa and the IIRO financed the Bojinka plot to blow up airplanes over the Pacific.
In September of 2003, Matthew Epstein & Ben Schmidt, in the National Review, reported that Soliman Biheiri, an indivual under investigation for several terrorist attacks, was a financial conduit for several known Hamas and al Qaeda moneymen. The investigations included links between Biheiri, IIRO and Mercy International. Biheiri and Suliman al-Ali raised funds for the IIRO.
You have also failed to address that al-Ali and the IIRO, who Tony's brother Khaled was involved with, financed Mohammad Sallah's bomb-making operations at Global Chemical in Chicago, or of Tony's fathers' involvement with Sallah in Chicago.
But, getting back to "Mercy"... al-Ali disclosed that he sent almost $200,000 to Mercy International in Canada, which is a "branch" of the Michigan-based Mercy International. The legal name of the Canadian office is actually Mercy International Relief Agency. In July of 1995, Umar al-Qadi, who formed the Michigan-based "Mercy", that you claim has no ties to the "sister" branch that was involved in the financing of the embassy bombings in Africa, registered a "Mercy for International Relief Agency" in Ontario, Canada, which al-Qadi described as a "sister organization". You can argue away the ties between the "branches" of Mercy with your dated and irrelevant cut and pastes, but you can't argue away the Elgindy's involvement with the IIRO, terrorist bomb-maker Sallah, terrorist financiers like al-Ali and Biheiri, or Global Chemical. That is why you fixate on "Mercy". The donation Tony made to this terrorist front is just one variable in a terrorist equation. The other variables are constants and you have opted to just ignore them. That is why your math is no good. That is why your DD is irrelevant.
Correction: September 10, 1998, Thursday An article on Monday about the investigation of the bombings of the United States Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania last month omitted the last two words of the name of an Islamic charity whose Nairobi manager was questioned by the F.B.I. It is the Mercy International Relief Agency. (A group with a similar name, Mercy International U.S.A., has not been linked to the bombings.) |
