What’s 20 Trillion Dollars Between Friends? McGraw-Hill and Petroleum Price Fixing (Now THIS Is a Scandal!)

The biased Amer­i­can news media–ANYTHING but liberal–continue to obsess on the so-called scan­dals that are enmesh­ing Obama’s admin­is­tra­tion (as we pre­dicted would hap­pen from the day of his elec­tion.) The Amer­i­can fourth estate has man­aged to over­look an appar­ent $20 tril­lion oil price rip-off facil­i­tated by a sub­sidiary of McGraw-Hill, owned by a fam­ily that have been polit­i­cal allies of the Bushes for generations.


Benghazi, David Petraeus, Michael J. Morell and the Destabilization of the Obama Administration

Long pre­dicted in these quar­ters, the desta­bi­liza­tion of the Obama admin­is­tra­tion is in full swing. With the GOP charg­ing that the Obama admin­is­tra­tion was covering-up warn­ings about ter­ror­ism in Libya, it now emerges that it was now-acting CIA direc­tor Michael J. Morell who deleted the ref­er­ences, in oppo­si­tion to the now-deposed David Petraeus.


Was the Relationship between Brian Glyn Williams and Dzokhar Tsarnaev more than Just Student and “Tutor”?

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bomb­ings, we’ve high­lighted the unrav­el­ing of the “two lone nuts” the­ory of that tragic event.In this con­text, we note that younger brother Dzokhar Tsarnaev’s high school men­tor has a back­ground in the CIA and also teaches Islamic stud­ies at the Uni­ver­sity of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, which Dzokhar attended.


Graham Fuller Helped Start the Iran-Contra Affair

“Ex” CIA offi­cer Gra­ham E. Fuller gets around. The for­mer father-in-law of the Boston Marathon bombers was a key advo­cate of the U.S. “turn to the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood,” as well as a defender of the Fetul­lah Gulen orga­ni­za­tion against charges of involve­ment with the CIA. Now, it emerges that he was piv­otal in set­ting in motion the machi­na­tions that have become known as the Iran-Contra scandal.


Old Home(land Security) Week in Boston: “Fee, Fi . . . Ho Hum” (Part 2)

The Boston bomb­ing sus­pects’ uncle turns out to have been mar­ried to the daugh­ter of a key CIA offi­cer. That offi­cer, Gra­ham E. Fuller, was a key advo­cate of a U.S. alliance with the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. Fuller has also run inter­fer­ence for the insid­i­ous Fetul­lah Gulen cult.


Divine Laissez Faire: Comparing the Theocratic Free Market Philosophies of the Muslim Brotherhood and The Family

“Free Mar­ket” prin­ci­ples are man­i­fest­ing behind fun­da­men­tal­ist reli­gious cover. The Chris­t­ian fun­da­men­tal­ist group The Fam­ily wields pro­found influ­ence in Wash­ing­ton, behind an ide­ol­ogy that sees laissez-faire eco­nom­ics as “God’s will.” The Mus­lim Brotherhood’s Islamism also views free-market prin­ci­ples as “Divine” in origin.


Saudi-Terrorism Link to Killing of Colorado’s Chief of Corrections?

The assas­si­na­tion of the head of the Col­orado Cor­rec­tions Depart­ment has raised ques­tions. One pos­si­ble motive might be Tom Clements’ recent denial of a peti­tion by Homaidan al-Turki, a Saudi national con­victed on sex­ual abuse charges and sus­pected of involve­ment in ter­ror­ism. Al-Turki enjoys the sup­port of the Saudi gov­ern­ment and pop­u­lace, as well as the State Department.


Grover Norquist Strikes Again!

Ear­lier this month, the Tea Party/GOP Right demon­strated their hypocrisy, as well as the degree of sol­i­dar­ity between the Islamic fas­cists of the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood and the GOP. The Jihad Watch web­site received the “People’s Choice Award” at the 2013 Con­ser­v­a­tive Polit­i­cal Action Com­mit­tee. The award­ing of the honor was blocked, how­ever by the Tea Party Repub­li­cans, who would only con­sent to give the award if the admin­is­tra­tors of the site would agree not to crit­i­cize Grover Norquist.


Imagine, “Morsi Is a Textbook Islamic Fascist”: I Told You So, Part 3 (Democracy, Muslim Brotherhood Style, Part 3)

We recall the tsunami of praise, Hosan­nas and Hal­lelu­jahs gush­ing forth from the world’s media and polit­i­cal pun­ditry. Hail­ing the “Arab Spring” as the dawn­ing of a new enlight­en­ment in that part of the world, they missed the boat–fundamentally. We, on the other hand, were warn­ing that this phe­nom­e­non was a Nazi oper­a­tion, hav­ing been ini­ti­ated by pow­er­ful cor­po­rate forces in the sec­ond admin­is­tra­tion of George W. Bush, it had its trig­ger with the Wik­iLeaks milieu–itself a far-right, Nazi-linked entity, as we demon­strated in FTR’s 732 and #745. (In addi­tion to the doc­u­men­ta­tion in the orig­i­nal WikiLeaks/Arab Spring series, see the arti­cle excerpted below.) Before delv­ing into details, an excel­lent overview of recent events in Egypt was pro­vided in an English-language blog by a cit­i­zen of that tor­tured coun­try. The con­tra­dic­tions and deadly under­cur­rents of unfold­ing events were elo­quently summed up by Mah­moud Salem in “Imagine.”


Falling to Earth: September 11th Flight School Operator Rudi Dekkers Arrested for Drug Trafficking

Long able to escape legal ret­ri­bu­tion for his actions, Huff­man Avi­a­tion oper­a­tor Rudi Dekkers appears to have run out of luck. The Dutch/German pilot who ran the flight school through which 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta and his Ger­man and Aus­trian asso­ciates infil­trated the United States has been arrested in Hous­ton for drug traf­fick­ing. It remains to be seen what comes of this inves­ti­ga­tion, but the impli­ca­tions are poten­tially staggering.
