Nader: Oil the Source of Two of Earth’s Major Problems:
Wars for Oil and Climate Change
Protect the Environment and the People of Our Planet by Ending Our Addiction to Oil
Washington, DC: On Earth Day 2004, Independent presidential candidate
Ralph Nader highlighted as two priorities: ending the Iraqi occupation
and facing up to the immediate crisis of global climate change. "Future
geopolitical crises involving oil resources and environmental problems
will be diminished by finding alternatives to fossil fuels," said Nader.
Nader linked the two issues on Earth Day because he sees them as
symptomatic of the corporate oil-based, planet destructive behavior of
the Bush Administration. Nader has called for the United States to
withdraw from Iraq - including military, private military contractors,
oil industry and other corporations. Nader noted: "The war in Iraq is
unleashing widening cycles of violence. The potential for escalation of
violence increases every day the US military remains in Iraq. The way to
reverse the spiral of violence is for the United States to go back home.
The US presence serves as a magnet for the insurrection, kidnapping,
terrorism and destruction." Nader released a three-step strategy for
withdrawal earlier this week. See www.votenader.org for details.

is involved in
Mar-Jac Poultry, which was raided last year by the FBI for links to Sami
Al-Arian.
Bashir Ahmad is another of Jabara's AMC advisory board colleagues. Ahmad is
a member of the SAMAD Group (a financial operation) and Justice Taqi Usmani
works for the SAMAD Group. Taqi Usmani is a suspected major player in the
Muslim Brotherhood International money laundering network of Dallah
Al-Baraka, Al-Taqwa, Al-Rahji Investment and Development Corp. Taqi Usmani
operates the Al-Balagh.net, which has a online bookstore in California
selling books written by individuals who are on the U.S. and UN terrorist
lists.
Jabara is a member of the legal advisory board for the Council for
Palestinian Restitution and Repatriation (CPRR) as well. The non-profit CPRR
exists to "provide legal assistance to Palestinian refugees and their heirs
and to educate the public about the legitimate rights of Palestinians."
Two members of the CPRR, Ishaq Farhan and Abdulateef Arabiyat, are members
of the Islamic Action Front (IAF)-an Islamist party affiliated with the
Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
Abdeen Jabara also works closely with another IFCO project called the
Coalition Against the "Counter Terror" Act. He distributes its flyers and
has appeared in a video for the group, which may be purchased for $15 a
copy - from IFCO.
Apparently someone is buying. According to a New York Post report, "the most
recent IRS records available for IFCO, from the year 2000, show that the
foundation took in $1,119,564 in contributions. A Not In Our Name statement
report that they have taken in more than $400,000 in recent months for the
purpose of publishing their statement."
