Accused Terrorist Is Big GOP Donor With Possible Defense Department Contacts
Harry Hope
An archived Web site for one of Alishtari's companies,
GlobalProtector.net, claims it had demonstrated a "Web filter"
technology for officials at the Department of Defense's Miami,
Fla.-based Southern Command (SouthCom), which coordinates U.S.
military operations in Central and South America and the Caribbean and
oversees the controversial Guantanamo Bay detention facility.
SouthCom spokesman Steve Lucas would not confirm or deny any contacts
between Alishtari and officials there.

Accused Terrorist Is Big GOP Donor
February 19, 2007 1:51 PM
Justin Rood Reports:
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) won't say what
it plans to do with thousands of dollars in campaign donations it
received from an accused terror financier.
Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari gave $15,250 to the NRCC since 2002,
according to FEC records published on the Web site opensecrets.org.
On Friday, Alishtari pled not guilty to funding terrorism and other
crimes, including financial fraud.
The NRCC is the main political group dedicated to helping the
Republican party win seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Reached Monday morning for comment, an NRCC spokeswoman declined to
discuss the matter on the record.
The indictment against Alishtari unsealed in Manhattan federal court
Friday charges him with providing material support to terrorists by
transferring $152,000 between banks to allegedly be used to purchase
night-vision goggles and other equipment needed for a terrorist
training camp.
Alishtari, aka Michael Mixon, was paid for his efforts to collect and
transfer the funds, which included $25,000 sent from a bank in New
York to a bank in Montreal, Canada, the indictment alleges.
Police and FBI agents arrested Alishtari in New York City on Friday.
A day earlier, agents raided his Ardsley, N.Y. home, according to the
"Lower Hudson Journal News."
When a reporter for the paper reached a woman claiming to be
Alishtari's wife on Friday and informed her of the charges, she cried
and said he was innocent, the paper reported.
The NRCC would not confirm it had received donations from Mr.
Alishtari, or that he had received numerous awards from the
organization, as is claimed by an online list of personal
accomplishments that appears to have been posted by Mr. Alishtari.
The list says he was made a life member of the NRCC's "Inner Circle"
and was named New York State Businessman of the Year by the group in
2003 and 2004.
The NRCC "Businessperson of the Year" fundraising campaign, which gave
such "awards" to at least 1,900 GOP donors, has been derided as a
telemarketing scam by political watchdogs.
The online list also claims Alishtari was appointed to the president's
"USNRCC White House Business Advisory Group."
An archived Web site for one of Alishtari's companies,
GlobalProtector.net, claims it had demonstrated a "Web filter"
technology for officials at the Department of Defense's Miami,
Fla.-based Southern Command (SouthCom), which coordinates U.S.
military operations in Central and South America and the Caribbean and
oversees the controversial Guantanamo Bay detention facility.
SouthCom spokesman Steve Lucas would not confirm or deny any contacts
between Alishtari and officials there.
If any information on such a meeting did exist, he told ABC News, it
would not be releasable because of the criminal investigation into
Alishtari.
A database of unclassified federal contracts at FedSpending.org does
not show SouthCom or any other government branch awarded business to
Alishtari's company.
A call to the telephone number which had been listed on
GlobalProtector's site connects to a recorded message offering the
caller to "spark up your days and nights" by calling a 1-800 phone
chat line.

Without it they are zombies of a regime, their relentless stalking of
the masses toward the Feurer is often criminal, in other cases they
settle with forming a neo-con company like Google and archive all
people.

Could there be a connection between this guy's donation and the
actions of the Bush administration to pull back from pursuing bin
Laden in Afghanitan to send the troops into a wild goose chase in
Iraq?
The results are plain to see.
Al Qaeda back in force, with rebuilt training camps.
The Americna army stretched to its limit because of Iraq.
Tensions growing between the US and Iran, which, being a Shiite
country saw Al Qaeda as an enemy, and actually cooperated with the US
in Afghanistan.
Could bin Laden have asked for more?
