Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund takes $400 million stake in Endeavor, one of Hollywood’s biggest talent and event managers

This will be great. Watch for the multimillion-dollar dawah and islamophobia movies, starring Hollywood’s biggest stars. George Clooney, Ben Affleck — they’ll be lining up to star in lavish Saudi-funded productions about people whose lives were transformed by their conversion to Islam, and superheroes who chase after and catch wicked Islamophobic villains. Hollywood is already a dreary leftist propaganda machine, not even a shadow of its former self. This will just make it even worse.

“Saudi Fund Said to Take $400 Million Stake in Emanuel’s Endeavor,” by Erik Schatzker, Lucas Shaw, and Matthew Martin, Bloomberg, March 18, 2018:

Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund is taking a $400 million stake in Endeavor, one of Hollywood’s biggest talent and event managers, as part of Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman’s grand plan to diversify the kingdom’s oil-based economy, according to people with knowledge of the deal.

The purchase is the latest in a series of deals by the Public Investment Fund and is scheduled to close as soon as March 19, a day before bin Salman and U.S. President Donald Trump meet at the White House, said the people, who asked not to be identified because some of the details are still private. Then in early April, the crown prince — known by his initials MBS — will be the guest of honor at a Los Angeles dinner hosted by Endeavor Chief Executive Officer Ari Emanuel, the people said.

Endeavor, which stages events worldwide from New York Fashion Week to Ultimate Fighting Championship fights, could play a key role as Saudi Arabia rebuilds industries that have withered since movie theaters and other forms of cultural expression were banned more than 35 years ago. One proposal under discussion would have the company work with Saudi Arabia’s General Sports Authority and General Entertainment Authority on projects that range from staging events to training athletes, the people said.

The Public Investment Fund is buying into Endeavor on similar terms as Singapore’s GIC Pte and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, which invested last August. Two of the people said the fund would take a 7 percent stake in Endeavor, while another pegged it as a bit less….

so it’s true the saudi prince is tackling extremism, that is far right islamophobic extremism. good. islam belongs in USA now. islam is taking over the world. we need movies which reflect the new reality, like “gone with sharia”, ‘killing a mockingInfidel”, “guess who is coming to ramadam?”, “how the west was won” (islamic version with muslim refugees and arab money), “it was upon a time in arabia”, “saturday stabbing fever”, “back to the caliphate” etc

I suspect people there, especially women are eager for more freedom. The Saudis know the OIL business is done. He’s trying to keep his economy going by branching out. I’s still never trust a Muslim.

And who would like to watch their “mega-productions”? Spreading Islam through “dawah” and educational system is the one thing (certainly worrisome). But to spread it through Hollywood? Go ahead: loose your money! NO ONE will watch their sh–!

I don’t think I’ve EVER seen a hollywood movie that ever portrayed muslums in a negative light. I don’t even know if Natalie Portman’s movie about the Armenian genocide even does so and it’s a movie that is persona-non-grata in the IMDB database.

Think of all the “private porn” they can use these bought and paid for actors and actresses for, everyone knows Islam is a satanic slavery, rape, murder cult, what better way to show how powerful they are then to purchase the Cooneys and Afflecks for.

Kevin FederSWINE can ask the ragheads for money. He’s currently asking Brittany for more money, poor guy is struggling on $22K/month.

Kathy Griffin’s been shunned and financially distraught, who knows why?

Harvey SWINEstein is making bankrupcy headlines, who saw that coming?

I bet King what’s his name would love to have a sit down with nnaaaasty B- TRASHley Judd.

Sam L Jackson, George Lopez, and Myley VIRus said they’d leave the US if Trump became POTUS. Why they could each buy a (beach) house in Mecca!

Given that Islamic and Communist countries (I include Saudis, Qatar, Pakistan, Iran, China, NK, etc) are at war with us, they should never be allowed any ownership of American business at all.

Otherwise like they’ve done with Twitter they will begin to censor anti-Islamic/communist information and push their own propaganda. Trump once again is not noticing how our enemies are subverting us from within.

China has bought up tech companies and stolen sensitive technology which they use to enhance their weapons and cyber-warfare against us-it’s madness to allow this to go on. Hopefully with Bolton as NSA will bring this to Trump’s attention.

This is the root cause of the spread of jihad in the west – accepting investments from islamic sources. They acquire huge stocks in key industries and then control them to spread pi$$lam. The lure of money is irresistible, so nobody says No to islamic funding. The only way to stop this is for the western governments (at least the ones that are still standing) to bring in legislation to prevent islamic sources from acquiring stakes in western companies.

Saudi Arabia Muslims have bought the universities and preach left-wing bull_sit and now Hollywood with millions of dollars they can use for propaganda machines and make pro Sharia and Muslim movies.

The 7 Days in Entebbe (BTW save your money do not see this horrible movie) is a perfect example of left-wing directors and writers distorting the truth of the most heroic military rescue in history because the rescue was done by ISRAEL.

The director and writer distort the facts and the entire movie focuses on the terrorists and not the heroic efforts of the Israel Defence Forces.

7 Days in Entebbe is the twisted story of events of the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight en route from Tel Aviv to Paris, and the most daring rescue mission ever attempted by a military and that heroic military was Israel. Jose Padhila manages to distort everything in his pro-terrorist movie.

Israel and Jews have every right to be proud of this amazing rescue operation otherwise known as Operation Thunderbolt. Yonatan Netanyahu unfortunately killed in this daring operation but it lead the rescue.

The fact that the raid also took out most of the Ugandan Air Force on the ground was never mentioned in the movie. And in the final credits and ‘what then happened’ there was no mention of the fact that the Air France captain was awarded the Legion d’honneur , and the rest of crew received gallantry medals for staying with their passengers throughout, was not mentioned.

The dance routine ‘overlay’ of the actual raid by Beer Sheva Dance Studio is both ridiculous and overdone.

Jose Padilha the director is a lying left-wing scumbag that disregards the facts of the truth of Israel’s heroic efforts and that is the only reason so many lives were saved by ISRAEL NOT THE TERRORISTS.

Lying left-wing jerk Director Jose Padilha sympathizes with terrorists and never mentions the flight crew being heroes.

Some honest director in Hollywood should get even or the Gods of humility should come calling for the Pro-Palestinian director Jose Padilha and someone should make an updated movie documenting the truth and how the IDF saved the Jewish lives of 100 passengers.

Shabbat Shalom and G-d Bless the IDF!

Operation Entebbe, or Operation Thunderbolt, was a successful counter-terrorist hostage-rescue mission carried out by commandos of the Israel Defense Forces at Entebbe Airport in Uganda on 4 July 1976.

7 Days in Entebbe by director Jose Padilha is a pathetic movie which makes the terrorists out to be the heroes and we should be so thankful that the terrorist could have killed more hostages but didn’t.

7 Days in Entebbe is a disgraceful movie by left-wing Jose Padilha. Padilha should go back to what he does best fiction.

The truth is if the Israel Defence Forces had not rescued the hostages with a heroic rescus mission who would have come to rescue the Jewish hostages?

One of the Jewish hostages died. She had a medical condition so it’s not certain if she was murdered or not but knowing Idi Amin’s propensity for murder….
