HOLY COW...did I read that right, or what???? FBI agents in on that deal...WHOA!!!!!!!!!
In the former Soviet Union, when it crumbled, KGB agents quickly became mobsters.
Information is power, and those with lots of information -- FBI and KGB and CIA and the like -- are always able to exert said power.
This guy was also on probation from another conviction and had recently wired $700,000 to Lebanon as a possible exit strategy.
Anthony's brother is a pro-arab activist in DC. His name is Khaled, he was the former Press Secretary for Cynthia McKinney. In 2000, he worked with Candidate Bush, and is now a political appointee by this administration, a "Policy Analyst, U.S. Commission in International Religious Freedom".
Here are some wonderful quotes that show his openness to Jewish and Christian thought:
" Mr. Elgindy then turned the discussion to the Congress, which he called "perhaps the greatest single challenge that we face in raising the issue… because the ‘other side’ has done a tremendous job of monopolizing the discourse on Capitol Hill when it comes to Jerusalem." He talked about the pro-Israel lobby’s legendary influence on Capitol Hill, which many people in our community view as almost mythical; but it is important for us to remember, he said, that they are not unbeatable. And sometimes they wield their power arrogantly, which may prove to be their Achilles Heel... What we have going for us is the moral high ground," Khaled Elgindy told a Washington panel discussion on "How to Discuss Jerusalem with the American Public." Mr. Elgindy said that while the Jewish lobby has the art of manipulation, the skills and the experience, the Arab Muslim community has the "weapons" of truth and justice in its arsenal.
And another out of Cairo that he wrote:
" Equally as disturbing as the alleged ties to Zionists are the Coptic associations' affinities for another group inimical to Arabs and Muslims. The powerful Christian Right, whose cult-like devotion to Israel and profound disdain for Islam are among the pillars of its religious-political doctrine, has also given wide play to Coptic claims of persecution. For evangelical Christians, the litany of "social ills" these born-again soldiers of God aim to defeat -- abortion, homosexuality, pornography, higher taxes, etc. -- was added a crusade against Islam and Muslims. "
Khaled is pro-arab, but isn't aligned with the Taliban or anything like that, but obviously could have connections with them is his various positions in DC, and his being Egyptian/American. It could be, that he is/was both the source for Cynthia McKinney, and that he tipped off his brother Anthony too.
Sure, Anthony is a short trader to the extreme, but he made some very suspicious moves on Sept 10th. Trying to liquidate a 300k trust, just out of the blue, while saying the Dow is going to drop to 3000, at the same time he's moving assets into Lebanon... makes me wonder!
