Peloni: It would seem that Qatar has made an all of America consquest, as it bought its way into the most intrinsic aspects of American infrastructure and the most key centers of American power. To rid America of this foreign domination, it will take an all of society response to reject this plague which is re-imagining American values and injecting anti-American principles upon America’s youth. While the influence stems from Qatar, the source of failure lies in the US, and the solution to this onslaught, along with the salvation of the American people lies with the American people. Silence indicates consent, such as the silence outside the Qatari embassy following the revelation that Qatar was funding the antisemitic riots on US campuses, the same silence which came after it was known that Qatar had been involved in the bribing a sitting US senator. Americans must retake a central control of their own future, divesting anti-American corruption which saturates the media, entertainment, politics and education, but this won’t be achieved thru silence.
Once accused of financing terrorism, Qatar is now celebrated by Trump as a key US ally, announcing mega-investment deals
U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East has been billed as an economic mission, with White House officials signaling ahead of his departure to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates that the focus would be on attracting large-scale investments to the United States – not traditional diplomacy.
Yet, judging by his statements and actions during the tour, Trump appears determined to emerge not only as a “deal maker” but also a “peacemaker.”
But is it possible to be both when it comes to Qatar?
On one hand, Qatar is an immensely wealthy Gulf state eager to do business with the West and home to the Al Udeid Air Base, a critical U.S. military presence in the region. On the other hand, it has long been criticized for supporting extremist Islamist elements.
Qatar has a documented history of funding the Muslim Brotherhood and providing a safe harbor to leaders of its Palestinian branch, Hamas. According to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Qatar also maintains connections with Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) – some of which the Qatari government denies.
Despite this controversial track record, the White House on Wednesday announced that President Trump had finalized economic agreements worth over $243.5 billion with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani. The centerpiece of the deal includes the largest-ever sale of Boeing aircraft and GE Aerospace engines to Qatar Airways, totaling $96 billion.
“This historic agreement will support 154,000 U.S. jobs annually, amounting to over 1 million jobs throughout the production and delivery phases,” the White House said in a statement.
The fact sheet claimed the total “economic exchange” between the U.S. and Qatar is worth at least $1.2 trillion – though it remains unclear how that figure was calculated.
The scope of these deals reportedly spans the energy and technology sectors, and an expanded defense relationship.
“Yesterday we signed an agreement for Qatar to purchase $42 billion worth of the finest American military hardware – including THAAD missile batteries, Pegasus refueling aircraft, Desert Vipers, light armored vehicles, amphibious combat vehicles, the MQ-9B and the Sky Guardian drones,” Trump said in a speech to American troops at Al Udeid.
Would the Trump of 2017 have endorsed such a partnership?
Back then, the American president had harsh words for the Qatari government.
“The nation of Qatar, unfortunately, has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level,” Trump said at the time.
That statement came shortly after Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt severed diplomatic ties with Qatar and closed their airspace to Qatari flights. These countries demanded that Qatar shut down its Al Jazeera network, scale back ties with Iran, and sever connections with extremist groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood.
That regional crisis was eventually resolved in 2021 through a reconciliation agreement brokered by Kuwait, Oman, and the United States – despite the U.S. initially backing Saudi Arabia.
Under former U.S. President Joe Biden, Qatar has become a major non-NATO U.S. ally and plays a pivotal role in mediating ceasefire and hostage-release negotiations amid Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza.
But just how deep does this alliance go – and at what cost?
A recent Free Press investigation titled “How Qatar Bought America” reported that the Gulf nation has spent nearly $100 billion cultivating influence across U.S. institutions – Congress, universities, newsrooms, think tanks, and corporations.
Further raising eyebrows is a reported offer from Qatar’s royal family to donate a $400 million luxury jet to President Trump – potentially to serve as the next Air Force One.
Despite concerns about ethics and national security, the president has signaled a willingness to accept what critics and supporters alike have described as a “palace in the sky,” a “Trojan horse,” and even “a bribe.”

From a recent interview with Francisco Gil-White, we should look at the situation with Qatar vs Israel in this light:
The Jews were able to pull off the first successful slave revolt in world history. This is reflected in Jewish values and Jewish law, as well as handed down in Jewish families since 10000 BC. Jews stand for freedom and liberty. The US Founders recognized this and cherished the Old Testament, respected Jews, and learned Hebrew. Jewish values were part and parcel of the Christian values on which this country was founded.
Qatar is a slave state. 94% of the economically active people in Qatar are enslaved. Workers are told of great job opportunities, but once in Qatar their passports are taken. Their employers pay them and at times don’t pay them. These workers have no recourse or rights. When an employer doesn’t need them anymore they are kicked out onto the streets.
Qatar is utterly dependent upon the US for their defense. Thus if the US didn’t want Qatar to do something, they would have to stop it. Biden apparently thought it looked bad to have Hamas leaders living large there, so Biden told Qatar to send them on their way. Qatar responded to that request. Therefore if Qatar does things, you can be sure it is with the full acceptance of the US.
Qatar finances terrorism throughout the Middle east and beyond? The US hasn’t stopped this. Qatar paying for the reconstruction of Syria, propping up the terrorist in a suit and tie who runs Syria? Seems to be no problem for Trump. Qatar supporting Hamas financially, so they were able to carry off the worst holocaust against Jews since Nazi Germany? Yes, Qatar is allowed to do that as well.
The fact that Trump is making deals and celebrating Qatar is a dead giveaway that Trump supports the jihadi activities of Qatar.
Trump also, even before his inauguration, encouraged the “ceasefire” talks with Hamas/Qatar just exactly as the Biden Administration did. Trump’s policy re: these talks was no different at all from Biden’s. In fact, Trump caused Israel to capitulate to Hamas, just as Biden did.
Thus we can say that Trump is as pro-jihad as all previous presidents. For example, George Bush Sr. created Hamas. Carter presided over the revolution in Iran that led to the Nazi shiites in power in Iran. Reagan sold billions of dollars of weapons to Iran (Iran-Contra), and so on..
Then too, there is the little issue of how many Qatari lobbyists Trump chose for his administration. There’s Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Suzie Wiles, all former Qatari lobbyists. That is a little strange for a pro-Israel president, is it not?
In addition, though Trump in his first presidency criticized Obama for making a deal with the mullahs for them to have a nuclear weapon. Now he’s seems okay with them having “nuclear energy” which is a loophole the size of a barn. The fact is, the Iranians have NEVER used nuclear energy, not once in their history.
Then there is the issue of negotiating with terrorists. Formerly against negotiating with terrorists, now Trump negotiates with EVERY Islamic terrorist group he can find: the Iranians, Hamas, the Houthis, and is attempting to make Lebanon safe for Hezbollah again.
Given that Jews represent freedom and liberty and Qatar represents murderous terrorism and slavery, we are seeing Trump’s true position now, that is, he is on the side of death and destruction, as well as enslavement of the world’s population. Because those who want to kill the Jews, have the enslavement of mankind as their ultimate goal..
Trump is not a fool, he hasn’t been “played” by anyone. He knows exactly what he is doing. He is making a clear choice against freedom and for enslavement of mankind.
Why does Trump appear to fight antisemitism at elite universities? Doesn’t that prove Trump is on the side of the Jews? Gil-White’s view of that, is that it is Trump gaslighting us. How else to keep the evangelicals and Jews in his corner? If he just shows his true commitment to enslavement of the world’s people and the destruction of Israel, he will lose a good part of his base, so he must gaslight us and appear to care about antisemitism.
Trump appears to have been a master at marketing himself during his first administration and during his presidential campaign.
I don’t think we can ever trust his public statements on Israel again, as the data are overwhelming of his willingness to throw Israel under a bus, so that it doesn’t matter what he says. When the words and music don’t match, watch the behavior.
I don’t know what’s with Trump. He was a very good friend to Israel during his first term. He finally moved the official U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. A U.S. law actually required to do this. But the presidents before him had refused. He made one of his major policies to fight jihadist terrorism. He imposed economic sanctions on Iran that had teeth. He helped to persuade several of the Gulf states, Morocco and even Sudan to normalize relations with Israel. It almost looked like the dawn of a golden age for Israel.
But in his second term, even though he continues to make public statements in suppoprt of Israel, his actual policies have been unfavorable and unhelpful. His big trade deal with Qatar, one of Israel’s worst enemies. He has not only been negotiating a deal with Iran that lift sanctions on them without requiring them to halt their nuclear weapons development program. The deal he has proposed to the mullahs is more favorable to their regime than even the deal negotiated with them by Obama and Biden, which wa s favorable enough. He has pressured Israel to withdraw from Lebanon and hand over its abandoned positions to the Lebanese army, which is controlled by Hezbollah. He is pressuring Israel to accept a settlement of the Gaza war that would leave Hamas in control of the territory.
I don’t what has prompted Trump to change his policies toward the Mideast in a negative direction. I suspect Elon Musk has something to do with it. He is reputed to be the richest man in the world. That being the case, he probably has financial interests in nearly every country in the world. Certainly in every “developed” country. He may ewell own property, including possibly oil wells in Iran. Not directly or personally, but through companies in which he owns large shares. Also in Qatar for the same reason. As Trump’s largest campaign donor and his head of the Bureau of Government Efficiency, he is in a position to influence Trump’s policies on everything. And then there is Steve Witkoff. Also a wealthy businessman, although not as rich as Musk. But still rich. He has emergerd as Trump’s di;omat-in-chief, and he also may have financial interests in Middle East countries other than Israel, My guess is that Trump has been led in the wong direction by campaign campaign contributers, some of home he has appointed to fill posts in his administration.
Qatar is VITAL to the US.
It houses not only a US airbase but the headquarters of CENTCOM (almost around the corner from the headquarters of Hamas, as I remember).
Why would this tiny country need this enormous number of weapons?
To protect itself from Saudi Arabia which US is going to supply with “peaceful” nuclear industry?
Do you think the US is so dumb and careless as to ignore the Qatari money pouring into the US for decades?

Qatar is a Muslim Brotherhood Country. They are the chief financier. They are a backer of Hamas (which is Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood). They work with Turkey to expand their power. Erdogan is also Muslim Brotherhood.
Muslim Brotherhood’s long term goal is to make the world Muslim. They do it in a step by step infiltration. Some of the organizations they spawned were in more in a hurry to make the world Muslim such as Al Quida and ISIS.
Anyone who aids them in expanding their influence and does not want to see their country or countries become ruled by Sharia Law should stop treating them like they are part of the civilized world and taking their petro dollars.
Yes, but making even one concession to Dems on the merits leads to:

Peloni: I NEVER take what Trump says or does at face value, as he is, of all things, a master strategist. If I’m correct, then the effect he’s having on just about everyone, is working!!! If I’m correct.
I’m sure it hasn’t escaped him that all the anti-Jewish, anti-Israel and anti-America riots inside and outside of the “educational” system are becoming more than irksome such that no matter how friendly toward Qatar he is, it will not be tolerated by the sane members of the public.
Let’s wait and see. If he is sincerely friendly toward Qatar (and Iran), then his weak point (being unable to use force when necessary) will become all too obvious… if it exists.
Israel should not step on the brakes at this point.
