"His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Crown Prince of Bahrain is a major donor to the Clinton Foundation , having pledged millions to the Clinton Global Initiative through the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Program (CRISP). By 2010, he had given $32 million to the initiative. Additionally, the Kingdom of Bahrain is reported to have given between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation, while Bahrain Petroleum gave $25,000 to $50,000" Daily Caller.

I just spent hours going through the emails relating to the Saudi Arabia/Qatar (actually 6 Sunni Gulf states) invasion of Bahrain against Arab Spring protesters on March 14, 2011...

Conveniently forgotten in light of the March 19, 2011, a multi-state NATO-led coalition began a military invasion in Libya.

It strikes me that both Libya and Bahrain invasions coincided in favor of Sunni Muslims. In Libya, a Sunni majority in a secular government and in Bahrain a large Shia majority governed by a Sunni Sheik.

There is quite a story there, but unfortunately most of the important information in the govt. documents (e-mails)has been redacted as confidential or secret... so the major part of the exchanges on policy are unavailable...

"As Bahrain money flowed into the Clinton Foundation, State Department documents showed that between 2010 and 2012 the Clinton-led State Department approved $630 million worth of direct commercial arms sales to Salman’s military forces in Bahrain. That was a 187 percent increase from the period 2006 to 2008, and the increase came as Bahrain was violently suppressing uprisings.During those Arab Spring uprisings of 2011 — when Bahrain was accused of using tear gas on its own people — the Clinton-led State Department approved more than $70,000 worth of arms sales classified as “toxicological agents.” That compared to just $700 worth of such sales in the immediate prior period.

In the same period, the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced proposals to sell missiles and armored vehicles to Bahrain. The office notes that “the Department of State approves individual programs on a case-by-case basis.” The State Department itself says it "is responsible for managing all government-to-government transfers of military equipment to other countries.

ALERT! ALERT! REDACTED! REDACTED! SECRET! All on a server a teenage Romanian could hack.

The documents include things like Madeline Albright's role as an advisor to Clinton. Meetings with the Crown Prince being set up, visits to Bahrain a couple days before the invasion by Gates, afterwards by Bill Clinton...

Dear Hillary It was great to see you. Thanks so much for giving another push to PNB. It was important for Bill and Kris to hear of your interest directly. I think given what is going on it is more important than ever. FYI I am going to loop OPIC in more. Thank you so much for seeing us about PNB

Re: Thanks
Sorry to bother you. Have an idea. According to NDI that is in Bahrain the embassy is overwhelmed. No ambassador [redacted] I am off to American Jewish University in LA for a discussion with Colin and Condi.

WTF is PNB and OPIC? PNB is something along the lines of

July 16, 2011. While in Turkey, Secretary Clinton praised the work being done by Turkey’s local chapter of Partners for a New Beginning (PNB), led by Rifat Hisarciklioglu, the President of TOBB and PNB Vice-Chairs Melih Gezer of Intel Turkey and Deniz Sungurlu of Cisco Turkey.

Turkey is helping bring together The Coca-Cola Company, the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce, and TOBB Women’s Entrepreneurship Board to launch an innovative public-private partnership that will promote entrepreneurship and cultivate business skills for women in Turkey.

OPIC is probably Overseas Private Investment Corporation. WTF is NDI? Oh! the National Democratic Institute. Hmmm...

"The NDI was founded in 1983, shortly after the United States Congress created the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).The NED's creation was followed by the establishment of three related institutes, the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) and the National Republican Institute for International Affairs (later renamed the International Republican Institute, IRI). The Endowment serves as the umbrella organization through which these three institutes and an expanding number of private sector groups would receive funding to carry out programs abroad..."

There are hints of what the USA supported: sales of chemical and other weapons to Bahrain et al,

"During the roughly two years of Arab Spring protests that confronted authoritarian governments with popular uprisings, Clinton’s State Department approved $66 million worth of so-called Category 14 exports -- defined as "toxicological agents, including chemical agents, biological agents and associated equipment" -- to nine Middle Eastern governments that either donated to the Clinton Foundation or whose affiliated groups paid Bill Clinton speaking fees."

We have a decades-long friendship with Bahrain that we expect to continue long into the future.

"Iran is meddling in Bahrain," Gates declared on April 7, 2011

OK! I copied this from commentary where it is buried under a bunch of commentary about changes in avatars. Its poorly written, I have to ad the links and I have a lot more information at hand to addd. but

Its always good to remember which Muslim countries with what majority (or type of governance) and what banks etc. donate to the Clinton Foundation. And which countries are invaded and destroyed vs. which ones get massive weapons sales. And good old Madeline running around with PNB and OPIC and her nasty husband Bill hobnobbing with all the Sunni Jihadi oil rich leaders...

To be edited into a better essay later, but I wanted to get this preliminary rant out there...
