zionist Blair to advise Egypt’s Sisi on economy

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has reportedly been hired as an economic consultant to Egypt’s controversial President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as part of a United Arab Emirates (UAE)-funded plan that has lucrative “business opportunities” for those involved.

Blair, who supported the al-Sisi-led removal of Egypt’s first freely-elected President Mohamed Morsi from power is to give the former Egyptian army chief advice on “economic reform” in collaboration with a UAE-financed task force in the country’s capital, Cairo, the Guardian newspaper reported Wednesday.

The UAE taskforce, according to the report, is being run by the management consultancy Strategy&, formerly Booz and Co., now part of PricewaterhouseCoopers, to attract investment into Egypt’s crisis-ridden economy at a forthcoming donors’ conference for Egypt sponsored by the oil-rich UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Blair’s decision to become involved in the Persian Gulf-financed support of Egypt, which is estimated to have killed more than 2,500 protesters and jailed more than 20,000 over the past year, has been slammed by some of his former associates who say his cooperation with Sisi would cause “terrible damage to him, the rest of us and New Labour’s legacy,” the report added.

In April, Blair singled out the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists as the enemy that the West and East should unite against and hailed Morsi’s overthrow as “the absolutely necessary rescue of a nation.”

The report further said that Blair’s work for Egypt will bring him lucrative “business opportunities” in Egypt and the Persian Gulf states.

Aides to Blair confirmed last week that he is considering opening an office in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE – where he is reported to be especially close to the crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan – to strengthen his links with the Gulf autocracies.

Blair’s earnings were reported last year to be more than £20m a year.
