Beyonce Likes To Perform For Terrorist?


Well, she probably doesn't like it per se, but she sure puts her hand out for their cash in exchange for pricy exclusive performances.

Apparently, Beyonce's exclusive performance in St. Barts on New Year’s Eve involved not only the who's who of the wealthy but also a terrorist family.


So: Why does this matter? Well, as respectable as Saif Gaddafi is with his charitable endeavors, pedigreed friends and PhD studies, his father is not exactly Mr. Popular — especially after his super-crazy speech at the U.N. in September. Gaddafi’s Libya has long been seen as a foe by the U.S., particularly in the 80s when Gaddafi was held to have been a major sponsor of international terrorism, and directly responsible for ordering the 1986 bombing of a Berlin nightclub which killed two U.S. marines — for which President Ronald Reagan ordered airstrikes on military targets in Tripoli, including the Gaddafi compound, where Gaddafi’s baby adopted daughter Hannah was killed. Gaddafi was also thought to have been a sponsor of Black September, which perpetrated the ‘Munich Massacre’ at the 1972 Olympics — and, of course, there was Pan Am 103. The shorthand for the flight is Lockerbie, from the town in Scotland where the it fell, but the flight was en route from Heathrow to JFK. Of the 243 passengers and 16 crew members killed in that bombing — plus 11 people on the ground — 190 were Americans, including many students returning home from studying abroad. Don’t read the “Victims” section of the Pan Am 103 Wikipedia page if you don’t want to choke up. It’s tough reading.
With all fairness, Beyonce probably was blinded by how many 0's appeared in that $2 mill she was offered; it could happen to anyone, right?

I do wonder how President Obama feels about this, she did sing for him and Michelle's first dance.

That was so unpatriotic of you Beyonce, but so American of you to keep that money.
