The Muslim Brotherhood’s front group in the United States conceals donations from Islamist governments overseas by maintaining a complex web of shell organizations, according to a new report. Right under President Obama’s nose, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) engages in an ACORN-like game of corporate musical chairs with its convoluted corporate structure and head-spinning funding machinations, Charles C. Johnson reports in the Daily Caller. Among the bombshell allegations, previewed Friday in FrontPage, are that CAIR has been “washing” millions of dollars from oil-rich nations without disclosing the donations to the U.S. government, as the law appears to require. CAIR, a social welfare and lobbying organization recognized under 501c4 of the federal tax code, is the Islamofascist group in the United States most favored by leftists, Islamist fellow-travelers, dupes, and useful idiots. While CAIR’s parent organization is the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood, it also has ties to Hamas and al-Qaeda. CAIR is a de facto agent of hostile foreign powers, including those in the business of exporting terrorism to our shores. Since its creation nearly 20 years ago, CAIR has posed as a civil rights organization in order to immunize itself from criticism and has enjoyed remarkable success in infiltrating the American political establishment. Indeed, the Obama administration has gone out of its way to aid CAIR over and over again. Court documents indicate CAIR took in at least $2,792,203 in contributions, income and money from foreign principals, including “a $2,106,251 mortgage loan from a foreign principal for CAIR’s Washington, D.C. headquarters and at least $54,500,000 in pledges from foreign principals,” the Daily Caller reports. The government of Qatar gave CAIR $405,000 over five years. CAIR’s lobbying arm gave CAIR a little over $1 million in the same period. It’s unclear where that money came from. CAIR has also received $199,980 from the Kingdom Holding Company of Saudi Arabia. Organizations in the United Arab Emirates have also been generous to CAIR. The UAE embassy gave CAIR $219,563. Other UAE donations include $100,000 from the National Bank of Fujairah, $99,985 from Red Crescent of Abu Dhabi, and $44,985 from Bin Hammodah Properties of Abu Dhabi. CAIR holds itself out publicly as a single entity, soliciting donations for its itself, a 501c4 nonprofit, but then funnels the funds to other entities in its network. This is similar to what the corrupt radical group ACORN did with its 300-plus affiliates, as I showed in my 2011 expose of ACORN and President Obama, Subversion Inc. David Reaboi, vice president for strategic communications at the Center for Security Policy, says what CAIR does is part of “a thinly-disguised money laundering operation.” Reaboi added that CAIR’s “undisclosed and hidden foreign donations amount to violation of the Foreign Agent Registration Act as well.” The Daily Caller also reports that CAIR has “met and coordinated with foreign principals on at least 35 occasions and engaged in more than 100 political influence operations on behalf of foreign principals in the United States.” The Obama administration has admitted to “hundreds” of closed-door meetings with CAIR. It was revealed last week that CAIR also works with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, even though it is not supposed to do so..........
