In 2007, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem became chairman of multinational logistics company DP World based in Dubai (UAE). Sulayem was forced to resign from DP World in 2026 over his extensive connection to Jeffrey Epstein: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DP_World


Epstein supplied Russian prostitutes to UAE Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem at Fettah Tamince’s Rixos hotel in Turkey in 2017.
Tamince, associated with Trump’s Kazakh gangster friend Tevfik Arif, described Bin Sulayem as a well-respected "friend".

Barrack also arranged the meeting between the Lebanese-American George Nader, gay paedophile and top adviser to the crown prince of the UAE, with Don Trump Jr. on 3 August 2016.
At this occasion, Nader offered the assistance of the rulers of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to get Donald Trump crowned US president.

Donald’s buddy Thomas Barrack, now US ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria, was in regular contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years, especially in 2016, 2017.
Apparently Epstein connected Barrack to UAE Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, German countess Nicole Junkermann, Peter Thiel, Ehud Barak and Russia's UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin.

On election night in 2016, Epstein watched the results from Saudi Arabia, where he was with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

UAE Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem introduced the Indian billionaire Anil Ambani to Epstein in February 2017. Ambani wanted Epstein's help on India–US relations and arms deals, and to arrange meetings with Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon.

In March 2017, Epstein suggested that Bill Gates and Anil Ambani meet Tom Barrack. Epstein informed Barrack that the PM of India would visit the US in May.


In 2008, Anil Ambani’s Reliance went in a joint venture with the DreamWorks of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen.

In 2018, India's opposition party Indian National Congress accused Indian PM Narendra Modi of favouring Ambani's Reliance Defence over HAL in the 2016 Rafale fighter jet deal worth $9.2 billion with the French Dassault. Reliance Defence would make a whopping $4.7 billion in this deal:

Understandably many people blame Israel for the Gaza genocide since October 2023. It could very well be that the sordid affair was orchestrated from the UAE...
And blocking the Strait of Hormuz could also help making UAE's railroad profitable.


It has been reported by some 'conspiracy theorists' that the whole war on Gaza is meant to plunder the gas on Gaza's coast. The Tamar gas field is owned by Chevron Mediterranean Limited (25%), and Mubadala Energy (11%), owned by the UAE government.
Chevron and NewMed Energy have also partnered in the Aphrodite gas field, in which third partner the Anglo-Dutch Shell Plc owns 35%.

In October, BP Inc (British Petroleum) announced that its $2 billion deals with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. to jointly buy a 50% stake in Israeli gas producer NewMed Energy remains on track. Newmed owns a 30% share in the Aphrodite gas field, and a 45% stake in the Leviathan gas field.
Through this deal, Abu Dhabi would get a stake of 25% of NewMed’s stakes in Leviathan and Aphrodite.

The High-speed railway to Eilat will both transport Israelis, and goods between Eilat (on the Israeli Red Sea coast) and China, the "Red-Med" rail project.
It will cross another developed railway in the MENA region (where the 2 Silk Roads “meet” in the Middle East). As Israel doesn’t have the funds, China will fund the project through state-owned Import-Export Bank together with a Dubai-based investment company, with a Chinese construction company to lead development.

Zhenhua Port Machinery Company, a Chinese state-owned construction company, was also awarded a large infrastructure project for UAE's Dubai Port World Sokhna.


After the UAE announced its “normalisation” with Israel in 2020, it signed an agreement to send oil to Europe via the already existing Eilat-Ashkelon pipeline linking the Israeli port of Eilat to Ashkelon (13 km north of Gaza), where it would be loaded onto Europe-bound tankers.

The Dubai Ports Authority also signed an agreement with Israel to open a direct shipping route to Eilat. This will give a boost to the "Red-Med" railway project that has been in the making since 2014 (in which the UAE is a shareholder).

Understandably many people blame Israel for the Gaza genocide since October 2023. It could very well be that the sordid affair was orchestrated from the UAE...

After my post, suddenly the Israeli Haaretz reported that PM Benjamin Netanyahu received an explicit warning in late September 2023 from UAE dictator Mohamed bin Zayed that Hamas' leader in Gaza, the late Yahya Sinwar, was planning a major operation against Israel.
Apparently MBZ also discussed the coming false flag operation with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who states that "He [MBZ] spoke with me about this often in the months leading up to the war".

Before the call with Bibi, on 15 September, Fatah official "Coal Eyes" and Bin Zayed's Palestinian adviser Mohammed Dahlan, who were in conversation with Sinwar, had already warned the Shin Bet. The head of the Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, immediately briefed Netanyahu about Sinwar's "earthquake" threats.
.

In the 1990s, Dahlan became the Palestinian Authority’s head of security in Gaza, overseeing the crackdown on Hamas in 1995 and 1996. Dahlan later met US President George W. Bush and developed ties to the CIA, and also met CIA director George Tenet several times.
In 2007, Dahlan fell from grace, accused by the Palestinian Authority of corruption and by Hamas of cooperating with the CIA and Israel. Dahlan fled to the UAE to become an adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Also in September 2023, Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel warned Netanyahu that Hamas was planning "something unusual, a terrifying operation".

While this story is designed to make UAE dictator Mohamed bin Zayed look good, and Bibi bad, you could also argue that they were talking about orchestrating the 7 October false flag operation: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/isr ... ff3d0f0000


It was reported in August by the Israeli media, that Benjamin Netanyahu oversaw direct negotiations with a senior Hamas official during the 2014 Gaza war, using Shlomi Fogel (owner of Israeli shipping firm DoverTower) as an intermediary.
See Shlomi Fogel with Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem (former chairman of Dubai’s DP World), sign a memorandum of understanding on the privatisation of Haifa port, 16 September 2020.

https://web.archive.org/web/20260829113 ... ce-denies/


It was also reported earlier this year in May, that Netanyahu paid a secret visit to the United Arab Emirates to meet UAE dictator Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
This was reported a day after US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee announced that Israel had sent its Iron Dome air defence systems and personnel to operate them to the UAE: https://en.royanews.tv/news/69809/Netan ... -PM-office


As for the Egypt-UAE connection…
The UAE agreed to invest a whopping $35 billion in the Egyptian coast town of Ras el-Hekma town, promising a minimum of $150 billion investment in total, easily the largest ever investment (or bribe?) in Egypt.
The current residents of the Ras el-Hekma area will simply be relocated…

The Egyptian state will get 35% of the profits from this project, with the majority of shares held by the UAE consortium.

After some food droppings in Gaza that were mostly a publicity stunt, came the strange plan to set up a temporary pier (or island) to bring food to Gaza, permitted by Israel.
The pier would take roughly 60 days to construct, during which apparently the Gazans continue to starve.
Once again the trails lead to the United Arab Emirates…

The European Commission, Cyprus, the UK and (of course) United Arab Emirates, have been working on this pier publicity stunt (to postpone food for the starving population for another 2 months…).

Another “humanitarian” stunt is to deliver food by smaller ships that don’t require a port, spearheaded by the UAE in conjunction with the nonprofit World Central Kitchen.

The temporary pier concept was invented in part by Fogbow, run by former US military, UN, and USAID and CIA personnel.


Fogbow is led by Mick Mulroy (former deputy assistant secretary of defense), and retired Marine Lt. Gen. Sam Mundy (Brookings Institution fellow).

Qatar has promised $60 million toward Fogbow’s pier efforts.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said the UAE would help facilitate the maritime corridor on the ground in Gaza.

Fogbow is closely associated with the Lobo Institute, co-founded by Mulroy and Eric Oehlerich, with Sam Mundy listed as an expert.

Fogbow / Lobo are really part of the network of the Middle East Institute think tank (where Mulroy, and Eric Oehlerich are listed as “experts”).
Sam Mundy is also a fellow of the Middle East Institute.


Over the last years by far the biggest funder of the Middle East Institute is the UAE with $20 million secretly donated in 2016 and 2017 alone.

The UAE has used its influence to bend US policy in a more militant direction toward the UAE’s perceived enemies: Iran, Qatar, the population in Yemen, and a coalition government in Libya.
UAE ambassador in Washington Yousef al-Otaiba used his influence over the Trump White House to install Mohammed bin Salman as crown prince of Saudi Arabia.


The chairman of the Middle East Institute is none other than Richard Clarke, a member of the powerful Belfer Center.

Richard Clarke tipped off Bin Laden’s high-ranking UAE and Saudi friends, preventing the capture or killing of the terrorist mastermind.
In September 1994, high-ranking UAE and Saudi government ministers, including UAE dictator Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (MBZ), Abu Dhabi royal Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum and Saudi minister Prince Turki al-Faisal, started bird hunting trips in Afghanistan, with Bin Laden

.
In 1991, Richard Clarke got “assistance” from UAE de facto dictator Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
Clarke later became counterterrorism czar to Bill Clinton and George W. Bush…

In 2003, Clarke joined Roger Cressey at Good Harbor Consulting.
In 2008, Good Harbor Consulting and Clarke started creating a cyber surveillance system for the United Arab Emirates to help “monitor threats”.

This vast surveillance operation didn’t stay withing the UAE borders, but targeted thousands of people around the world, from FIFA officials, to human rights activists, journalists and dissidents, including Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani (brother of the Emir of Qatar).
Between 2012 and 2015, rival governments were hacked (while we get brainwashed with stories about Russia and China!)

Isn’t it amazing how big oil has financed the green ageda and that the oil-exporting UAE hosted COP28?!?

While the UAE gets a good name for hosting COP28, UAE’s Blue Carbon company is dealing in carbon credits, so as another stake in the outcome of COP28.
The founder and chair of Blue Carbon is Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook al-Maktoum, a member of Abu Dhabi’s royal family.

Blue Carbon is negotiating buying about a tenth of Liberia’s land mass, a fifth of Zimbabwe’s, and swaths of Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania.
Blue Carbon intends to sell the acquired emission reductions linked to forest conservation as carbon credits (both to the UAE government and abroad).

See John Msimuko (Zambian Secretary), Josiane Sadaka (CEO Blue Carbon, second row); Eng. Collins Nzovu (Zambian Minister) and Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook Al Maktoum, during signing of the MOU.



Ahmed Dalmook Al Maktoum is a low member of the ruling Royal Family of Abu Dhabi, whose website explains:

The Private Office has a portfolio of privately held group companies that focus mainly on Infrastructure Development, Energy Projects, LNG Terminal Development, Commodity & Oil Trading, Water Desalination, Water Recirculation as well as Education and Agricultural Projects.
…
We currently own the largest emergency power plant installed in West Africa. The Private Office is undergoing development of over c. 2000 MW of Power Plants across many countries in Africa, Asia and other jurisdiction in the developing regions. We also deliver integrated and unbundled solutions in supplying LNG. With the help of our partnerships, we carry out the business of the complete supply chain of LNG and supplying natural gas.

.
So with his main business in energy, the more he restricts the supply of energy, the more profit he makes?!?


Another interesting scandal involving Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook al-Maktoum (and Russia, was this why Puttin visited Abu Dhabi?).
Russia awarded none other than Ahmed Dalmook al-Maktoum the exclusive rights to sell the untested Sputnik V COVID vaccine to a host of never-developing countries.

See Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook al-Maktoum being welcomed by a government delegation in Guyana.


The Sputnik V COVID vaccine was sold for $9.95 a dose to Slovakia and Hungary.
The Abu Dhabi royals’ Aurugulf and Chimera Investments sold the Sputnik V COVID vaccine for $19 per dose to Ghana, $24 to Guyana and $22.50 per dose to Pakistan.
So for example for the 3.4 million, $19 per dose to Ghana, compared to Russia’s $9.95 asking price, Aurugulf made a cool $30 million (for reselling the vaccine).

It was widely reported that former UK PM and current Knight of the Garter Tony Blair (Larry Ellison’s friend) was selected for the Executive Committee of Gaza’s “Board of Peace”, which will transform Gaza into an ultramodern technocratic open prison like the UAE. Blair couldn't become its chairman over his past actions related to the Middle East.
UAE Minister Reem Al-Hashimy will also take a seat on the Executive Committee of Gaza’s “Board of Peace”.
While many call Trump its leader, it could very well be MBZ that calls the shots behind the scenes.

The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change was founded with money from the United Arab Emirates.
The Tony Blair Institute has an office in Abu Dhabi that devised the political strategy for the Gulf Cooperation Council, comprising the governments of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman.

The Tony Blair Institute was also involved in organising the COP28 in the UAE.
The Tony Blair Institute also crafted Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, led by Saudi de facto dictator, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

No surprise, president Joe’s brother, James Biden, was in business in China and Mexico, and Saudi Arabia. There is of course also a link to the UAE...

James Biden was hired by Hill International to resolve a decades-old dispute with Saudi Arabia. James helped reach a $140 million settlement between Hill International and the Saudis in 2012, through awarding future contracts.

Thomas Lankford, who investigated this sordid affair explained:

Mr. Biden further confirmed that Richter [Hill CEO] used Biden as a settlement intermediary in order to capitalize on the influence and orchestration of the settlement by the then Vice-President.

.
It isn’t clear how much Biden was paid for this “work”.


Whatever you do, don’t speak about the UAE…
It isn’t clear to me if James Biden is still involved, but Hill International has also been rewarded with lucrative contracts by the UAE. Hill International has been in business in Dubai since 2001, including helping in the construction of Jumeirah Etihad Towers.

After Joe was crowned US president in January, in June 2021 Hill International was awarded a contract by Aldar Projects for infrastructure projects in Abu Dhabi.

Aldar is a long-term client for Hill International in the Middle East and we are privileged to have been given the opportunity to expand our professional services to cover this important project.

Trump has been receiving money from the UAE government, as the US headquarters for the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority is located in Trump Tower in New York.

In 2013, the Trump Organization struck another branding deal with the Emirati Damac Properties. The deal involved Trump’s name on a golf course that opened in 2017, and Damac later made a second deal with Trump, for the Trump World Golf Club in Dubai.
In 2016, Trump was paid $2-10 million by Damac for his name on the golf properties in Dubai.

Damac Properties’ chairman was the billionaire Hussain Ali Sajwani.
See Hussain Sajwani, with Donald and Ivanka Trump in the UAE in 2013.

The star witness against Hunter and Joe Biden, Alexander Smirnov, was indicted for lying.
The same year that Alexander Smirnov started telling his lies about the Bidens, 2020, he was paid $600,000 by Economic Transformation Technologies (ETT).
ETT’s CEO is the American Christopher Condon, who together with the Pakistani-American Shahal Khan and Farooq Arjomand own ETT Investment Holding Limited in London.

Farooq Arjomand happens to be the former chairman and current board member of Damac Properties in Dubai!

The previously mentioned indicted liar, Alexander Smirnov, worked in the Central Office of the Russian government, was the first deputy minister of justice of Russia and before that served in the executive office of president Putin, before/until 2017.

In December 2021, Trump Media (that owns Truth Social) got 2 loans totaling $8 million from the Paxum Bank, and ES Family Trust, whose trustee, Angel Pacheco, was also a director of Paxum Bank.
These Russian “loans” to Trump Media were reportedly “investigated” for money laundering, but nothing has been heard of this since.

Anton Postolnikov owned a large stake in Paxum Bank. Reportedly Postolnikov’s aunt is Alexander Smirnov’s wife, Elena Smirnova.

There is of course another connected scandal, with even a link to Hunter Biden’s buddy Devon Archer (who was pardoned by president Trump in 2025)…

In early 2021, Anthony Hayes CEO of Dominari Holdings Inc., headquartered in the Trump Tower, recruited his buddy Kyle Wool as president, while Kyle’s wife, Soo Yu, also joined the board.
In February 2025, Don Jr. and Eric Trump became advisers and investors for Dominari. The Trump brothers’ combined stake in Dominari was worth more than $17 million on 9 October.
Dominari has become a go-to dealmaker for the Trumps.

In December and February 2022, ES Family Trust provided $8 million in loans to Trump Media & Technology Group (the parent company of Truth Social) in the form of promissory notes, which were later converted into Trump Media shares.
The loans from ES Family Trust were paid through Paxum Bank which was co-owned by the Russian-American Anton Postolnikov. Paxum Bank is widely used by the porn industry.

Anton Postolnikov’s ES Family Trust also invested $10.8 million in venture capital firm Eleven Ventures LLC that’s run by Hartley Wasko, which also funded drone manufacturer Unusual Machines. It was Michael Shvartsman who convinced Hartley Wasko to invest in ARC Global Investments II, LLC, the initial investor of Digital World Acquisition Corporation, which was run by Patrick Orlando and later merged with Trump Media.

In November 2024, at around the time that Donald was elected president, Don Trump Jr. joined Unusual Machines, getting a $4 million stake in the company before acquiring even more shares. With its shares almost tripling in value shortly after Trump Jr. joined its board, and raising more than $80 million from investors.

Unusual Machines was awarded its largest ever contract to supply 3,500 drone motors and 20,000 components to the Pentagon.
Wool took Unusual Machines public at a mere $4 a share in 2024.
It was Wool who arranged that Don Trump Jr. became a paid adviser for Unusual Machines, which sent the shares soaring, which made Don Jr a paper gain of $4.4 million.

In 2025, Don Jr and Eric, along with Wool, Dominari and others, took a 20% stake in a Bitcoin company, which went public as American Bitcoin. The deal made Dominari rich, with shares worth more than $150 million, while Eric’s stake is worth a cool near $450 million.

In August 2025, a media hysteria was staged about the billionaire Telegram founder and CEO, Pavel Durov, arrested in France, with on the one side calling this “an attack on free speech”, while the other explanation was that his arrest was justified, as Telegram helped drug traffickers, money launderers, terrorist and child pornographers, because its communications are “too” secure.
It wasn’t in any of the headlines that Durov was released immediately, nor that he was allowed to leave France.

I haven’t seen anybody argue that this media hysteria was a blatant publicity stunt in favour of Telegram (you almost can’t “buy” this kind of advertising).
In 2017, Pavel Durov became a Young Global Leaders of the WEF (another one of those types of free speech “champions”).

While “everybody” focuses on the Russian links, I think that the UAE links (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) are more interesting…
In 2022, Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund Mubadala together with Abu Dhabi Catalyst Partners invested $150 million in Telegram. Telegram, worth more than $20 billion, is “globally headquartered in Dubai”.
In 2021, Pavel Durov was photographed with Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum (the crown prince of Dubai). Durov also joined an advisory council to Dubai’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

A revealing piece of information to confirm that this is all an elaborate advertisement campaign for the UAE’s favourite social media app, is that…
You can’t make this $hit up! Earlier in August 2025, Macron called Mohammed bin Zayed to discuss “cooperation” between the 2 countries (no joke!)…
My wild guess is that a publicity stunt for Telegram was among the discussion points.

Emmanuel Macron is close to Emirati de facto dictator Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
See Emmanuel Macron (left) showing his respect to Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, at Al Mushrif Palace in Abu Dhabi, 15 May 2022.


France and the UAE maintain a close military relationship, with a French naval base in Abu Dhabi and the UAE army buying French Leclerc tanks and Rafale fighter jets.
They even promoted a “faked video”, falsely attributed to Al Jazeera, that the UAE is cancelling a Rafale arms deal over Durov’s arrest.


In 2013, Mubadala launched a $2 billion fund together with the Russian Direct Investment Fund to invest in the Russian economy. Reportedly the Mubadala Fund financed Telegram together with the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
Mubadala has major business ties in/with Russia ($3 billion investments), including investments in: Pulkovo Airport, and chemical holding companies SIBUR, En+, and Gazprom Neft.

Russian billionaires David Yakobashvili and Roman Abramovich (Chabad-Lubavitch) were among the investors in Telegram Open Network (Telegram’s cryptocurrency). The EU, US, Switzerland, Canada and Ukraine imposed sanctions on them over their close ties to the Kremlin.
