How big is Obama’s Carbon footprint?
We need to drill so that Obama can live the life of luxury and waste taxpayer money.

Hardright, after I posted that on my web site a lefty buddy of mine sent me a link with his holdings. The .pdf is from 2008, but do you have anything more current?

And does anyone have a link to the documentation that Hard Right mentioned in the first comment?

That video reminds me of “Die Hard 1″… the dumb TV News anchor.. “As in Helsinki, SWEDEN”!!! LOL!!! DUMBASS…… 🙄
Confucius say….” Better to keep mouth shut and “appear” dumb, than to open same, and REMOVE all doubt”!!! 😆 😆

Much of the sensational reporting on Feldman’s investments was based on outdated information. The Judge was blasted for owning stock in Transocean, Ltd and Halliburton, two of the major companies involved in the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Feldman owned those stocks in 2008; however, he sold those shares long before issuing his ruling this week. In fact, this updated information will be released in the next report on his stock holdings.

If Feldman held financial interests in any of companies involved in the lawsuit or the Deepwater Horizon rig, he would not have been allowed to take the case. The 5th District Court uses a sophisticated computer system to check whether judges have a conflict of interest in any legal proceeding. This system automatically determines whether a judge needs to be recused from a particular case. In this lawsuit, Feldman was allowed to take the case because he did not own any stock related to the parties involved.

Caribou Coffee – Funding Terrorism? Caribou Coffee has been the subject of an ongoing boycott

for its ties to the the Islamic Bank of Bahrain and Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi
http://www.boycottwatch.org/caribou/c

aribou03.htm

Caribou Coffee’s Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi – A Terrorists Profile and US businesses links exposed.

Summary: Islamic Cleric has connections to Caribou Coffee, Hamas, and the First Islamic bank

of Bahrain, which is now known as Arcapita – Boycott Watch spells out the connection and

terrorist links.

When Boycott Watch reported the First Islamic Bank of Bahrain’s purchase of Caribou Coffee

in May of 2000, we reported that Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, who has admitted links to terrorist

groups, was the First Islamic Bank of Bahrain’s key person in the deal to purchase Caribou

Coffee from its founders, and was listed in the original press release on the banks’ website,

and we reported how his name was subsequently removed from the website announcement by the

First Islamic Bank of Bahrain after Boycott Watch published our initial report

(http://www.boycottwatch.org/caribou ) showing the direct links of Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi to

terrorist groups.

Boycott Watch believed then, and we still believe now, that Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi’s name

was removed for public relations reasons. Caribou wanted to downplay any connection to

terrorist supporters and groups by its parent company during a time when terrorism was viewed

as Israel’s problem only. Since that time, the US has endured the attacks on September 11th,

2001 and the world has unfortunately not seen the end of Islamist terrorism. The civilized

world is now in a global war against terrorism of which Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi is a player.

After his name was removed from the First Islamic Bank of Bahrain website, Boycott Watch

was told by Caribou officials that Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi was “just a consultant” who put the

deal together, which contradicted what was originally posted on the First Islamic Bank of

Bahrain’s website. Boycott Watch believes what was originally published on the banks website,

which stated that Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi was the principal of the deal, i.e. partner, thus he

not only made money on the original deal, but continues to profit from Caribou Coffee sales.

A simple Google search of Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi reveals his hate messages:

In his own words, Dr Yusuf al-Qaradawi supports:

* The killing of homosexuals to keep society pure
* The killing of apostates – those who have rejected Islam
* The killing of all Israelis – including civilians
* The mutilation of women’s genitals

On July 7, 2004, The British Broadcasting Company (BBC)’s “BBC TWO’s Newsnight” reported

this: “Controvesial cleric Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, in an exclusive interview for Newsnight (BBC

TWO, Wednesday 7 July at 10.30pm), claims that Islam justifies suicide bombings.”

“Speaking in an interview on whether the Koran justified suicide bombings conducted just

weeks prior to his arrival in Britain Al-Qaradawi tells Newsnight: “Israeli women are not like

women in our society because Israeli women are militarized.”

“Secondly I consider this type of martyrdom operation as an indication of the justice of

Allah Almighty. Allah is just – through his infinite wisdom he has given the weak what the

strong do not possess and that is the ability to turn their bodies into bombs like the

Palestinians do.” (See: BBC)

The occurrence of the BBC interview of Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi may not be a coincidence.

Arcapita’s website, Arcapita.com, lists offices in Bahrain, Atlanta, and, guess where…..yes,

London. Is this a coincidence? Not really. The BBC also reported “Al-Qaradawi, the spiritual

leader of the Muslim Brotherhood organization (a.k.a Hamas which went on to form Al-Quada by

many accounts) arrived in London on Monday the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) said. He is

due to attend a series of events during his week-long visit.” These events could very well be

business meetings with the First Islamic Bank of Bahrain and its officials in London since

they have an office in that city.

Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, states: “Qaradawi is controversial: among Muslims he is

widely considered a moderate conservative, while many Western critics regard him as

dangerously radical or as a supporter of violence.”

Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi is clearly not a ‘moderate conservative’, and those who use that term

to describe Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi are clearly trying to cover up this Islamic cleric and his

terrorist ties, despite his own words. In fact, calling Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi a ‘moderate

conservative’ casts a shadow on all Muslims termed a ‘moderate conservative’ because Dr. Yusuf

al-Qaradawi clearly espouses hate and supports suicide bombings, which is hardly a ‘moderate

conservative’ position. Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi is a self-described terrorist and terror leader.

More Cover-up: The First Islam Bank of Bahrain changed its name to Arcapita, most likely to

hide its Islamic ties. For those who will say it is not a religious company, the Atlanta

Journal Constitution documented the name change in an article that showed Islamic Shari’ah law

is the central core theme of the company. The name change was clearly designed to hide the

Islamic nature of the bank. Although no pork products are in any Caribou Coffee stores, the

Islamic Shari’ah law observance, which among other things discriminates against women, is not

mentioned whatsoever on their website, http://www.cariboucoffee.com, which is therefore hiding the

Shari’ah law observance.

With Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawis self-declared support for suicide bombers exposed, and knowing

he garners profit from Caribou Coffee, it is not a stretch to conclude that profits from

Caribou Coffee are most likely used to support terrorism an especially suicide bombings of

innocent civilians, which Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawis promotes in his own words. The sudden removal

of his name can not be linked to selling of shares, as no such announcement has ever been

made; rather his ownership level appears to be masked.

Some of the most well-known companies currently owned by Arcapita are include Caribou

Coffee, Church’s Fried Chicken, Elysain (Chicago high rise), Leohmann’s stores, TLC health

Care, UBS Financial, and WorkingRx. A list of companies owned by Arcapita is available at:

Rather than HardRight proving a negative, how about you find the actual documents supporting the left’s claim that as of the hearings the Judge still holds those investments? It’s your side’s claim, as Biden would say, “Prove it or STFU!”
