Story-Backstory ep. 10: The UAE and Gulf Arab state influence-buying in Washington
Just World Podcasts04/26/19 • 42 min
This episode in the "Story-Backstory" series is a complement to the article that Helena Cobban published on Mondoweiss on April 25, exploring a small window that the Mueller Report provided into the world of the influence-buying operations undertaken by the UAE and other rich Arab Gulf states in Washington DC.
In this episode, Ms. Cobban interviews Ben Freeman of the Center for International Policy, to discuss the extensive influence operations undertaken in Washington by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel. At one key point, Freeman notes that the same lobbying and p.r. firms that work for many of those actors also work for major US arms manufacturers!
(Please note that there was no Episode 9 in this series, as we concentrated on producing online materials for last week's topic, instead.)
