A Townhall.com article reported today that “Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA) claimed Tuesday there were no embassy protests or deaths of American contractors under the Obama administration.

Now, everybody knows that’s a lie but reading that article could not have been timed better. It nudged me into looking at Obama era posts where I found a good ol’ ‘smoking gun’ reference. Ah, those were the days.

The Benghazi Mayekar/Alhassani/Obama connection was one notable embassy protest that comes to mind. Samir Mayekar moved on to https://www.chicagobusiness.com/government/citys-economic-development-czar-takes-tricky-balancing-act and Mehdi K. Alhassani of https://twitter.com/mehdi3344?lang=en fame, who… a few hours before the Benghazi attack, Alhassani met in the White House with Samir Mayekar, a George Soros ‘fellow’ for an unscheduled visit…

Here’s some Sharia financing information you might find interesting.

Six months prior to that announcement, the Qatar Central Bank issued new rules that effectively gave conventional banks that opened sharia compliant windows a choice: Full submission to sharia banking methods or be limited to conventional banking activities.

To appreciate the sharia arm twisting behind the new rules, one only has to understand “The estimated 15-20% annual growth rate of Islamic services has encouraged conventional banks to open sharia-compliant windows in recent years and the new rules will therefore have a significant impact on their growth. Islamic finance has been an important driver in attracting new customers. Islamic assets among the country’s banks grew at an average of 54.3% between 2003 and 2010, compared to 37.8% in conventional assets over the same period, according to MEED.”

Major corporations that consider themselves sharia compliant in one fashion or another, in other words corporations not yet faced with the choice of a short knife elimination from a perceived expanding market or a full commitment to sharia compliance include: Bank of America, Barclays, Bloomberg, Century21, J.P. Morgan Chase and even Coca Cola.

Palantir and Sharia compliant Financial corporations… put them together and what do you get?
