Qatar’s wealth facilitates hatred – patronizes terror
- Update Time : Saturday, September 20, 2025
We are revisiting an old theme given the recent media prominence the oil rich Gulf State of Qatar has been receiving of late for rather obvious reasons. Qatar could and should offer so much to global unity and worthy causes. Instead, her wealth is used, by design to ensure disunity and continuing hatred to achieve a goal of Shia Islamic dominance. Knowingly or unknowingly, the morally bankrupt in western democracies assist in this objective.
‘Radix malorum est cupiditas’ as cited in Timothy’s New Testament first epistle, 6:10-14 and latterly in in the epigraph to the Pardoner’s Prologue in Chaucer’s late 14th century Canterbury Tales. Meaning, greed or the love of money is the root of all evil, how true that has been of human nature since time immemorial and endorsed in current society. Qatar, through its wealth from oil production is one of the most influential actors, if not the most influential on the global political stage as nations, organizations and individuals prostrate themselves in the hope and expectation of personal enrichment, irrespective of the objectives of the Qataris.
We have seen African nations, charities, companies, celebrities in the arts, culture and sporting world, political leaders from all democracies and media outlets allowing themselves to be corrupted, driven by greed and ego having orgasms over the spraying of dollars by racist, Arab slavers into their pockets. Nauseating as it is to the morally decent, the morally indecent will continue to prosper in this process irrespective of the damage being done to civilization and the wellbeing of the planet in which we all live.
If the Qataris had no money, no nation nor country would bother with the ugly, totalitarian theocratic Gulf State. No democracy would treat them with the respect they so ill deserve. They would simply be excrement on the shoes of the European Union, the African Union, ASEAN and the South American block. But Qatar’s mega wealth buys influence to the point of determining political and military strategy. It determines what tens of millions of us are told and how issues are presented. And if the greedy mob play along with the Qatari political manipulation they will continue to be rewarded. The tiny Jewish state of Israel is the one beacon of light in this world of financial greed, bucking the trend and challenging the evil emanating from this demonic nation that is Qatar.
If Dreyfus were on trial today, the puppets doing the bidding of Qatar would have been the mob finding Dreyfus guilty and baying for his blood whilst Israel would have been the courageous Emile Zola. Qatar has been aggressively promoting its evil through many channels especially media where the state owned AL Jazeera has been peddling antisemitism, mocking Hindu and Judeo-Christian values, and promoting extreme Shia Islamism for decades. I believe similar to the Iranian and Russian propaganda media TV channels, RTTV and Press TV, Al Jazeera should be banned from western democracies for the vile propaganda it spreads. Many Arab countries, paradoxically including the Palestinian Authority have at times banned and still do, Al Jazeera for Shia extremism. The fear of the west losing various revenue streams encourage the continuation of this Goebbels type output that has facilitated global antisemitism.
Running parallel with AJ’s promotion of antisemitism is the amount of money being poured into western universities and colleges, by Qatar not only influencing the curriculum but ensuring those responsible for the curriculum are of similar political and religious ideology to the funding nation. At least in Trump’s USA, a challenge and a strong one at that has begun to emerge ensuring those responsible for racist output are dealt with.
The Trump Administration have allowed themselves to be drawn into the tangled, financial web weaved by the Qataris. Acceptance of Air Force 1 and the US military base stationed in Qatar assisted the duplicitous Qataris in their objectives under the pretense of being an impartial actor between the Israelis and Hamas. The Israelis certainly did not believe them and despite the guarded public criticism, the US Government is also very much aware of Qatar’s influence within their domestic politics. Trump is no fool and fully understands Qatari provocation and influence within US academia.
The world of celebrity and sport shamed themselves by their connections to the Qataris. Thousands of slave laborer from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia and other third world countries died whilst working in an unsafe environment and in atrocious living conditions during the construction of stadiums that hosted the last FIFA World Cup. This made no difference to the sporting authorities nor the celebrity leeches who enjoyed receiving millions of dollars to promote, spread propaganda but most of all to keep their lips sealed regarding the atrocities inflicted on the slave laborer responsible for the places in which they were enjoying themselves.
Radix malorum est cupiditas – how true today as it was in biblical times. Human nature will never change. The morally corrupt will wallow in their shame and the morally decent will live to shame and expose them. Qatar be damned.
