UAE 'Spy Sheikh' Bought Secret 49% Stake In Trump Crypto Company, World Liberty Financial
• Technocracy.NewsThe quid pro quo was for Nvidia's AI computer chips. The reverse quid pro quo is that Islam gains another foothold in America. Why is Trump unequally yoked with one of the worst violators of human rights in the world? If you dance with the devil, your clothes will get burned.
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International describe the UAE as "severely restricted" in human rights: no elected legislature, no legal political opposition, no free speech, criminalization of most dissent, pervasive surveillance, and harsh treatment of activists and critics. In other words, it is a dictatorship. Other monarchies in the region are no better off.
Trump's 2025 "Gulf investment tour" alone featured headline pledges of roughly $3.2 trillion dollars in announced deals and investment frameworks with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE—many overlapping with or reinforcing pre?existing business relationships.
The Pax Silica Declaration was recently signed by the UAE and Qatar. Prospects are high that Saudi Arabia will join soon. Pax Silica tightly binds those nations to the US AI policies.
Trump is building his legacy as the Islamic President who bound America's future to the mortal enemies of freedom and liberty. This is another level of the betrayal that we brought out in our book, The Final Betrayal: How Technocracy Destroyed America. This is not "Making America Great Again." ? Patrick Wood, Editor.
A government official and top royal from the United Arab Emirates purchased a $500 million stake in the Trump family's cryptocurrency venture last year, months before the Trump administration greenlit the sale of advanced AI chips to the UAE, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan — also known as the "spy sheikh" — is the Gulf nation's national security adviser and manager of its largest wealth fund. Aryam Investment, a Tahnoon-backed company, took a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial, according to the Journal. The deal would make Aryam the largest shareholder of World Liberty, and the company's only known investor besides the founders, the Journal reported.
World Liberty is behind the stablecoin USD1, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by short-term U.S. government treasuries, U.S. dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents.
The company counts President Donald Trump and his special envoy Steve Witkoff as co-founders emeritus, and is run by members of the Trump and Witkoff families.
The deal, according to the Journal, was signed by Eric Trump in the days before his father's second inauguration as president. It came as Tahnoon was seeking access to advanced artificial intelligence chips from the U.S., which the Biden administration had blocked over concerns that the chips would end up in China.
