Saudi advisor to billionaires, Dr. Khalid al-Mansour aka Don Ward, from Texas.

Sutton, the founder of Inner City Broadcasting, said al-Mansour contacted him to ask a favor: Would Sutton write a letter in support of Obama’s application to Harvard Law School?

“He wrote to me about him,” Sutton recalled. “And his introduction was there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?”

Sutton said he acted on his friend al-Mansour’s advice.

“I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly,” Sutton told NY1.

Sutton did not say why al-Mansour was helping Obama, how he discovered him, or from whom he was raising money on Obama’s behalf.

It raises questions as to how exactly al-Mansour helped Obama, outside letters of recommendation. One doesn’t have to wonder ‘from whom he was raising money’, considering other examples of foreigners’ interests in Obama - recall Rezko and Iraqi billionaire Auchi.

Texas Darlin’:

Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour is an African American formerly known as Donald Warden, a graduate of Howard University and Berkley Law School and “mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his cohort, Bobby Seale”.

He is also said to have been mentor to Maulana Karenga, otherwise known as Ronald McKinley Everett (FBI Spy and creator of Kwanzaa), and the founder of the African-American Association. He was described as “the most articulate spokesperson for black nationalism at the time [the early-mid 1960s]“. He was also associated with future Judges Henry Ramsey and Thelton Henderson and future Congressman and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums. Another associate was Percy Sutton, Malcolm X’s and Maulana Karenga’s Lawyer.

In 1989, for example — just one year after Obama entered Harvard Law School — The Los Angeles Times revealed that al-Mansour had been advising Saudi billionaires Abdul Aziz and Khalid al-Ibrahim in their secret effort to acquire a major stake in prime oceanfront property in Marina del Rey, Calif., through “an elaborate network of corporate shells in California, the Caribbean and Europe.”

At the same time, he was also advising Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in his U.S. investments, and sits on the board of his premier investment vehicle, Kingdom Holdings.
