Obama Had Close Ties to Top Saudi Adviser at Early Age

New evidence has emerged that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was closely associated as early as age 25 to a key adviser to a Saudi billionaire who had mentored the founding members of the Black Panthers.


In a videotaped interview this year on New York’s all news cable channel NY1, a prominent African-American businessman and political figure made the curious disclosures about Obama. (See Video Clip Below)


Percy Sutton, the former borough president of Manhattan, off-handedly revealed the unusual circumstances about his first encounter with the young Obama.


“I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him,” Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter.


“The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas,” Sutton said. “He is the principal adviser to one of the world’s richest men. He told me about Obama.”


Sutton, the founder of Inner City Broadcasting, said al-Mansour contacted him to ask a favor: Would Sutton write a letter in support of Obama’s application to Harvard Law School?


“He wrote to me about him,” Sutton recalled. “And his introduction was there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?”


Sutton said he acted on his friend al-Mansour’s advice.

“I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly,” Sutton told NY1.


Sutton did not say why al-Mansour was helping Obama, how he discovered him, or from whom he was raising money on Obama’s behalf.


A Sutton aide told Newsmax that Sutton, 88, is ailing and is unlikely to do additional TV interviews in the near future. The aide could not provide additional comment for this story.


As it turned out, Obama did attend Harvard Law School after graduating from Columbia University in New York and doing a stint as a community organizer in Chicago.


The New York Times described how transformative his Harvard experience became for the young Obama: “He arrived there as an unknown, Afro-wearing community organizer who had spent years searching for his identity; by the time he left, he had his first national news media exposure, a book contract and a shot of confidence from running the most powerful legal journal in the country.”


The details of Obama’s academic performance are well known: At Harvard, Obama rose to academic distinction becoming the editor of the Harvard Law Review and graduating magna cum laude.


Less known are the reasons al-Mansour, an activist African-American Muslim, would be a key backer for a young man from Hawaii seeking to attend the most Ivy of the Ivy League law schools.


Khalid al-Mansour a.k.a. Don Warden


In an exclusive interview with Newsmax from his home in San Antonio, Texas, al-Mansour said he would not comment specifically on the statement by Percy Sutton because he was afraid anything he said would get “distorted.”


“I was determined I was never going to be in that situation,” he said. “Bloggers are saying this is the new Rev. Wright — in drag! — and he is a nationalist, racist, and worse than Rev. Wright. So any statement that I made would only further this activity which is not in the interest of Barack.”


But in the lengthy interview, al-Mansour confirmed that he frequently spoke on university campuses, including Columbia, where Percy Sutton suggested he met Obama in the late 1980s, and confirmed his close relationship with Prince Alwaleed.


“I am not surprised to learn about this,” said Niger Innis, spokesman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). “It is clear that Barack Obama’s ties to the left are familial, generational, and have lasted for several years.” Innis is scheduled to address the Republican Convention in St. Paul, Minn at 7:43 PM Eastern time on Thursday.


Although many Americans have never heard of Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (his full name), he is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel.


A graduate of Howard University with a law degree from the University of California, al-Mansour sits on numerous corporate boards, including the Saudi African Bank and Chicago-based LaGray Chemical Co. LaGray, which was formed to do business in Africa, counts former Nigerian President General Abdusalam Abubakar on its advisory board.

He also sits on the board of the non-profit African Leadership Academy, along with top McCain for President adviser Carly Fiorina, and organized a tribute to the President of Ghana at the Clinton White House in 1995, along with pop star Michael Jackson.


But his writings and books are packed with anti-American rhetoric reminiscent of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s disgraced former pastor.


In a 1995 book, “The Lost Books of Africa Rediscovered,” he alleged that the United States was plotting genocide against black Americans.


The first "genocide against the black man began 300 years ago," he told an audience in Harlem at a book-signing, while a second "genocide" was on the way “to remove 15 million Black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society.”


In the 1960s, when he founded the African American Association in the San Francisco Bay area, he was known as Donald Warden.


According to the Social Activism Project at the University of California at Berkley, Warden, a.k.a. Khalid al-Mansour, was the mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his cohort, Bobby Seale.


Newton later had a falling out with Warden, who was described in a 1994 book as “the most articulate spokesperson for black nationalism” at the time.


The falling out wasn’t purely political, according to author Hugh Pearson.


“Sometimes Newton and the other members of (Warden’s) security detail got into fights with young whites who didn’t like what Warden had to say about whites. Rather than ‘throw down’ along with the security detail, Warden refused to fight,” Pearson wrote in “Shadow of the Panther: Huey Newton and the Price of Black Power in America.”


U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee of California entered an official statement of appreciation of Warden and his Black Panther colleagues in the African-American Association in the Congressional Record on April 23, 2007.


“Among the founding members (of the Association) were community leaders such as Khalid Al-Mansour (known then as Don Warden); future Judges Henry Ramsey and Thelton Henderson; future Congressman and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, and future Black Panthers Huey Newton and Bobby Seale,” the Democratic representative’s statement said.


Al-Mansour’s more recent videotaped speeches focus on Muslim themes, and abound with anti-Semitic theories and anti-Israel vitriol.


“Today, the Palestinians are being brutalized like savages,” he told an audience in South Africa. “If you protest you will go to jail, and you may be killed. And they say they are the only democratic country in the Middle East. ... They are lying on God.”


He accused the Jews of “stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America.”


The Saudi Connection


But al-Mansour’s sponsorship of Obama as a prospective Harvard law student is important for another reason beyond his Islamic and anti-American rhetoric and early Black Panther ties.


At the time Percy Sutton, a former lawyer for Malcolm X and a former business partner of al-Mansour, says he was raising money for Obama’s graduate school education, al-Mansour was representing top members of the Saudi Royal family seeking to do business and exert influence in the United States.


In 1989, for example — just one year after Obama entered Harvard Law School — The Los Angeles Times revealed that al-Mansour had been advising Saudi billionaires Abdul Aziz and Khalid al-Ibrahim in their secret effort to acquire a major stake in prime oceanfront property in Marina del Rey, Calif., through “an elaborate network of corporate shells in California, the Caribbean and Europe.”


At the same time, he was also advising Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in his U.S. investments, and sits on the board of his premier investment vehicle, Kingdom Holdings.


Prince Alwaleed, 53, is the nephew if King Abdallah of Saudi Arabia. Forbes magazine ranked him this year as the 19th richest person on the planet, with a fortune in excess of $23 billion. He owns large chunks of Citigroup and News Corp., the holding company that controls Fox News.


He is best known in the United States for his offer to donate $10 million to help rebuild downtown Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks. But after the prince made a public comment suggesting that U.S. policies had contributed to causing the attacks, Mayor Rudy Giuliani handed back his check.


"I entirely reject that statement," Giuliani said. "There is no moral equivalent for this (terrorist) act. There is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered 4,000 or 5,000 innocent people.”


Since then, Prince Alwaleed’s Kingdom Foundation has given millions of dollars to Muslim charities in the United States, including several whose leaders have been indicted on terrorism-related charges in federal courts.


He also has given tens of millions of dollars to Harvard and other major U.S. universities, to establish programs in Islamic studies.


The casual statement by Percy Sutton to NY1 is the first time anyone has hinted at a relationship between Obama and the Saudi royal family.


Although al-Mansour glosses over his ties to the Saudi mega-billionaire in some of his public talks, he has represented the Saudi’s interests in the United States, in Britain, and in Africa for more than a quarter century, according to public records.

He told Newsmax that he has personally introduced Prince Alwaleed to “51 of the 53 leaders of Africa,” traveling from country to country on the Saudi prince’s private jet.

He knows virtually every black leader in America, from the business community, to community activists, to the worlds of politics and entertainment.


When Michael Jackson was on the ropes in the mid-1990s following a series of lawsuits by the parents of children accusing him of sexual abuse, al-Mansour introduced him to Prince Alwaleed, whose Kingdom Entertainment signed a joint venture with Jackson in 1996.


“Jackson and Alwaleed became pals in 1994, when a mutual friend from Alwaleed's college days in California arranged a lunch meeting aboard the prince's yacht in Cannes,” Time magazine reported about the new partnership in 1997.

The mutual friend was al-Mansour.


“As a black American, I am exceedingly proud at the American people’s response to Barack Obama’s candidacy,” said CORE’s Niger Innis. “But to deny that he has long-standing ties to left-wing elements in our polity is to deny reality. If you want to be president of the United States, it is not racism if you ask these kind of questions, and he has to come up with an answer, hopefully the truth.”


Sutton gives no clues as to why al-Mansour would be raising money to help Obama go to law school. Obama has said during his campaign that he paid his way through Harvard with student loans.


For Jesse Lee Peterson, founder of the Los Angeles-based Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), these latest revelations about Obama’s ties to Saudi financiers were an important wake-up call.


“To me, this opened up more questions about Barack Obama and his relationship to the Muslim world,” Peterson told Newsmax.


“A lot of people are caught up with the emotional aspect of Barack Obama, the movie star aspect, the false promises that he’s going to take care of everyone and their Mama.”

But when the full story of Obama’s ties to radical preachers such as Wright and to black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan comes out, Peterson believes that Obama’s star power will fade.


“I think there’s more to this story and to Barack Obama than we realize,” Peterson said. “As all the truth comes out before the election, I don’t think he has a chance. I can’t see American’s taking that kind of risk.”


The Obama campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

Fred Thompson described Barack Hussein Obama very well in his speech Tuesday night - the most liberal and most inexperienced presidential candidate this country has ever had. Add to that these facts that continue to emerge showing him to be a racist radical and one wonders how the democrat party was duped into selecting this charlatan as their nominee. Considering that he barely won the nomination over a candidate as weak as Hillary Clinton, it's obvious what the outcome would have been if the mainstream media had vetted him as thoroughly as white candidates past and present.

Who says he is a 'disgraced' former pastor, the last I heard is he is a retired Church elder and nothing else.

AND what is going on with this need to bring up Muslims with all this supposed proof, I think the bigger issue is his ties with Bill Aires, the Weather Underground who thinks he didn't go far enough. This alone, which is concrete, not conjecture but fact should be pointed out all the time - Obama supports Domestic Terrorists. In this day and age, the repubs, the christians and all the others who oppose Obama in this election should point to the fact that a terrorist gave hium his start, he has not yet denounced his freindship with him and in fact is moving to stop any facts form being printed or talked about AND the people who oppose Obama should without hessitation point out that Bill Aires and the weather underground is the same as Al Quida, Hammas, and any other terrorist group... nothing short of killing people to strike fear into the hearts of the public which they did do.

Both parties are equally involed in "kissing the Saudi Butt"!!! That is why when I hear Osama Obama or McCain talk about "change" I have a hard time deciding if I should laugh or vomit. The ONLY way you could have real "change" in this country is to abandon socialism and return to a free market economy. 'Tiant Gonna Happen!! Way too many whinners, cry-babies and mal-contents out there. We all know that the squeaky wheel gets greased. People who really do, rather than whine, moan and cry are never heard. They just go about thier business, working to improve thier lives and hardly ever speak. Thier reward these days? The Great Benevolent Robin Hood (government) comes in and STEALS FROM THE RICH TO GIVE TO THE POOR!!!!! So thier hard work goes more towards supports the bums, whinners and mal-contents than thier own lives. What a great system.

Well it was a good try Greg. Close but no cigar :p The Bush family has been kissing Saudi but way longer then ol Bubba had.
And the Lewinsky family is the same as yours...I still believe the mussad planted here there for another lap dog. Actually to Dubyas Credit he did have 2 blacks in his cabinet where as Bubba had none...Although a good majority of Bubbas cabinet.
I would have to think these fine people..can answer at least part of your question. I am sure out of Nation of 230 million Clinton could not find any qualified AMERICANS but this bunch who all share WHAT Greg? Besides dual Citizenship and have Americas best interest in their hearts :rolleyes:
By the way I am sure this protocol is fake to as you keep trying to dismiss them....I wonder why..Written in 1897 and look at Clinton's cabinet...No just a coinsedence from a crackpot conspiracy yea ok.
This is from the third protocol

3. In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of power we have set all forces in opposition one to another, breaking up their liberal tendencies towards independence. To this end we have stirred up every form of enterprise, we have armed all parties, we have set up authority as a target for every ambition. Of States we have made gladiatorial arenas where a lot of confused issues contend ... A little more, and disorders and bankruptcy will be universal ...

As you notice Bush has quite a few too

Gee, my first name is Joseph, what does that make me? Let's see, a native American, born in Downtown Detroit. (they closed the hospital after I was born, no way to improve on me I guess) I was born into to the "Wop-A-lock" tribe.(Italian and Polish) My father was the "Chief" of our "Clan". Directly decesnded from someother Clan. I can trace my family all the way back as far as I can. No further. That must mean that I might be related to a Jew or a Muslum or, heaven forbid, a protestant!!! Well shoot, with that backround I guess the Neo's will be after me now!!!!!!!!! I must own more than I thought I did, if so, why am I expediting? I must be part of the Lost Tribes somehow. Gee, now I feel important. I sure hope the Neo's and the New Left and any other bunch hate me, you ain't squat until you are hated by at least two hate groups. Layoutshooter

Booth Memorial Hospital. Tended to be used by us "po folks" I am the son of a miner. My dad worked at the Salt Mine in Detroit. When my dad said "it's back to the salt mines" on Monday, he was not kidding!!!! He mined coal in PA before the war. I am not sure when they closed the hospital. It was right next to the Ambassador Bridge. I forget what street it was on. Layoutshooter

Greg, I can't find the address on the internet. The Booth Memorial Hospitals/Maternity Homes were a nation wide "chain" run by the Salvation Army. They were also homes for un-wed mothers. (not my case) It was the closet hospital to the "mine". I lived my first 4 years on Dora Street in Melvindale. Then we moved out to Riverview, my dad still lives there. On a side note, during the Viet Nam war a army soldier who did not want to return to Viet Nam after a leave, blew himself up (suicide) in the apartment on Dora where I first lived. The people who lived downstairs from us (a divided older house) were named Sanchez. I don't remember much about them (only 4 when I left there) except I remeber her tamallies!!!! They were great!!!!

You didn't answer do you like them with onion chips or fries? With or without cheese?..

I have actually read where the whites

See Greg , here is the proof I read more then conspiracy theories..
Unless they can find a way to make this into one.

First Humans To Settle Americas Came From Europe, Not From Asia Over Bering Strait Land-ice Bridge, New Research Suggests

Well, the article doesn't actually say that Europeans settled North America first, it says that there is evidence to suggest or support the theory. There's a difference. That's how science works. You have a theory, or competing theories, and then you chip away at the parts of the theory for which evidence proves incorrect, and keep what's left over. In the case of the Sands, which evidence strongly shows that it wasn't covered by ice at the time, may or may not translate to the Bearing Strait being covered by ice. That's only a theory. What was going on in Kankakee may or may not be consistent with what happened a few thousand miles away. Time, and more research, will tell.

In another, slightly more recent article, genetic evidence lends strong support to the Land Bridge theory, pretty much blowing Kankakee out of the water, so to speak. :D Gene Study Supports Single Main Migration Across Bering Strait
