Osama Bin Laden’s half brother, Shafiq Bin Laden, lived in Trump Tower in 1986. Trump sold the 45th floor of Trump World Tower to Saudi Arabia, in the months before 911. This included an annual charge of $85,585 for “amenities”. It was sold to Saudi at the time that the CIA started receiving a “barrage of intelligence” pointing to “imminent attacks against unspecified US interests“. Trump has done business with rich Saudis for at least 32 years. Isn’t it past time that we start asking who Donald J. Trump really is?

Why has Trump been associated with people such as Iran-Contra arms dealer Adnan Khashogghi? He dined with him around the same period as the Iran-Contra scandal was going on. Why is no one asking? WTF is Trump?

Adnan’s nephew, Jamal Khashogghi, knew Osama Bin Laden. According to John Bradley, Jamal “Khashoggi had dirt on Saudi links to al Qaeda before the 9/11 attacks. He had befriended Osama bin Laden in the 1980s and 1990s… Khashoggi was the only non-royal Saudi who had the beef on the royals’ intimate dealing with al Qaeda in the lead-up to the 9/11 attacks… Like the Saudi royals, Khashoggi dissociated himself from bin Laden after 9/11…” He then became an advisor to Prince Turki Al Faisal, “who had been Saudi intelligence chief from 1977 until just ten days before the 9/11 attacks, when he inexplicably resigned…” He also “mixed with British, US and Saudi intelligence officials….” See: “Death of a dissident: Saudi Arabia and the rise of the mobster state What the media aren’t saying about Jamal Khashoggi” by John R.

C27281-24, King Fahd and the Reagan’s greeting Ivana Trump with Donald Trump at a state dinner for King Fahd of Saudi Arabia in the blue room. 2/11/85.

In 1985 Osama Bin Laden’s (supposedly westernized) half brother, Shafique, put a deposit on an apartment in Trump Tower and lived there for four months in 1986.[1] He was a guest of honor at the Carlye Group’s DC Conference on 911 (Sept. 11, 2001). He met with Bush, Sr., and James Baker there. He was also one of the Bin Laden family members who left the US on September 19, 2001, aboard a plane often chartered by President Bush for the Press Corps. [2]

Trump sold the 45th floor of Trump World Tower to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for $4.5 million in June 2001, according to a city Finance Department spokeswoman.” There were “yearly common charges of $85,585 for building amenities“. It only became part of the Saudi Mission to the UN seven years later, in 2008. [1] Did they have a room with a view of 911?

Beginning in June 2001, we [the CIA] received a barrage of intelligence indicating that al-Qa’ida associates in Afghanistan and abroad expected imminent attacks against unspecified US interests” [3]

The New York Ties writes: Trump’s Misleading Claim That He Warned About Osama bin Laden The warning amounted to a fleeting mention in his 2000 book, which was published after Osama bin Laden was already one of the world’s most wanted terrorists“. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/19/us/politics/fact-check-trump-bin-laden-pakistan-mcraven.html

While this may be true, Trump’s relationship with the Saudis, and the Bin Ladens, in this period, should be examined.

The Saudi government has continued to back Islamic extremists, as well as making people more open to extremism through their policies.

Saudi Arabia has continued to support Islamic extremism (al-Qaeda affiliates) as well as contributing to the creation of more desperate people through war, who may be more open to extremism.

Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman was already Saudi Minister of Defense when Saudi Arabia supported the formation of “The Army of Conquest” in Syria which was primarily composed of al-Qaeda affiliate the al-Nusra Front, as well as Ahrar al-Sham, with a similar ideology. In Yemen he began an air war against the Houthis and Yemen’s army which benefited al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula. This is based on a German Intel memo.

Manafort brothers cleaned up the 911 site, as well as cleaning up nuclear sites (at least one as subcontractor to EnergySolutions, whose head, Doug Kimmelman was a Trump fundraiser-donor.) http://web.archive.org/web/20180806194454/http://manafort.com/who-we-are/company-history/ http://web.archive.org/web/20180912050541/http://manafort.com/project/connecticut-yankee-nuclear-power-plant-decommissioning-demolition Because it is private, we do not know if Paul Manafort has contined to be connected to his family company, or not. If he is no longer connected, we don’t know when he stopped being connected, either. If it’s a coincidence, it’s a freakish one.

What did Hillary say about Saudi Arabia? “…we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region.” [4]

Note that it is unfair to conflate lobbyist Tony Podesta with his brother John Podesta, as Trump-Russia news sources tried to make everyone do. It has been a very long time since John Podesta worked with his older brother Tony. Some siblings are similar and some are opposites.

Just because things happen at the same time doesn’t mean that they are related, but they could be in some way.
