FIAT, GADHAFI & OBAMA TIES - By Scott Wheeler of Newsmax, May 14, 2009

THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING PIECE. More of what our mainstream media (msm) hides as we’re being conned to death. We all know of his millions in illegal foreign campaign money that the msm covers up.

 Whose interest was President Obama serving on March 30,

 when he ordered Chrysler to either conclude a merger with Italian

 automaker Fiat within 30 days or lose federal bailout funds which would lead to

 its immediate demise?

 That untimely announcement placed Chrysler in the

 untenable position of accepting whatever Fiat offered, literally cutting the

 legs out from under the struggling American carmaker's negotiating

 platform. Some financial analysts had already determined that what Fiat was

 offering was a very bad deal for Chrysler.

 

 “The steal of the century,” Forbes columnist Jerry

 Flint wrote of the deal back in January. “Fiat gets Chrysler for next to no

 money, and American taxpayers must throw in $7 billion to make it

 happen.” By most accounts, Chrysler was in real trouble, but by announcing to the

 world that Chrysler had no other alternatives Obama effectively told Fiat

 that Chrysler would accept whatever Fiat offered, eliminating

 Chrysler's ability to cut a better deal.

 

 Why would Obama undercut a U.S. company, involved in a

 heated negotiation, in favor of a foreign company's interest?

 

 Clear answers are not available, but the presence one

 very curious shareholder in Fiat raises some interesting questions.

 The African nation of Libya owns at least a 2 percent stake in Fiat and thus

 makes Moammar Gadhafi, who controls the wealth of Libya, a direct

 beneficiary of the deal favoring Fiat.

 

 Does Obama owe Gadhafi?

 

 That is a tough question to answer, but Obama's

 record-shattering $700 million presidential fundraising operation and a

 revealing speech Gadhafi delivered nearly a year ago, seem to undress

 Obama's inexplicable sabotage of Chrysler's negotiating position with Fiat.

 

 Before anyone was suspicious of the sources of

 Obama's campaign funds, Gadhafi made a speech that Al Jazeera carried on June

 11, 2008, and translated by The Middle East Media Research Institute

 (MEMRI).

 

 "All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and

 in Africa applauded this man. They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his

 success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution

 campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency."

 

 Is Gadhafi revealing his knowledge of something that no

 one else even suspected at the time?

 

 Since Gadhafi's June 2008 speech, other evidence

 has surfaced suggesting that Obama raised significant sums from dubious sources

 in Gadhafi's neighborhood, including tens of thousands of dollars

 the campaign was forced to return once it was revealed the origin of the funds

 was in Gaza, the Middle East.

 

 So far there has been very little interest in the

 sources of Obama's massive fundraising, and with Democrats in control of both

 houses of Congress, it is unlikely that there will be an investigation into what

 many believe is the most prolific fundraising abuse ever.

 

 Gadhafi's prescient speech didn't end with his apparent knowledge of Obama's sources of campaign funds though. MEMRI's translation also included Gadhafi's foreknowledge that Obama's campaign

 rhetoric about supporting Israel also was just a head fake.

 

 "But we were taken by surprise when our African

 Kenyan brother who is an American national, made statements [about Jerusalem]

 that shocked all his supporters in the Arab world, in Africa, and in the

 Islamic world . . .

 

 "As you know, this is the farce of elections — a

 person lies and lies to people, just so that they will vote for him,” Gadhafi

 stated in his speech that got no coverage from the mainstream American

 media.

 

 Since his election, pro-Israel Americans have been

 shocked at how quickly Obama's policies turned hostile toward Israel, such

 as the $900 million in aid headed to Gaza after they attacked Israel with

 mortars late last year, and forcing Israel to negotiate with Hamas.

 

 With the precision of a campaign insider, Gadhafi also

 predicted a recently announced Obama policy regarding Israel nearly a year

 ago: "We thought he would say: 'I have decided that if I win, I will

 monitor the Dimona nuclear plant, and the other WMD in Israeli's

 possession.'”

 

 Last week, a State Department official announced that

 the Obama administration would pressure Israel to sign the

 nuclear nonproliferation treaty that would allow among other details, Obama to

 inspect Israel's nuclear weapons program, something the Israeli's

 have kept secret since its inception.

 

 What is most amazing is that the propaganda arm of the

 Middle East, the anti-American Al Jazeera network, has proven more

 informative about Obama's Middle East policies than the sycophantic American

 media.
