“Don’t Make Me Do It!”: Morsi Threatens Unspecified “Emergency Measures”

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 25, 2013 ⋅ 3 comments

Egypt­ian pres­i­dent Mohamed Morsi con­tin­ues on the Islamic fas­cist path man­dated by the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, to which he belongs. Now, he has threat­ened unspec­i­fied “Emer­gency Mea­sures” to quell the oppo­si­tion. Just such rhetoric and the actions that gen­er­ally fol­low that kind of talk are part and par­cel to the imple­men­ta­tion of total­i­tar­ian rule.


Fears of Muslim Brotherhood Takeover of Egyptian Military

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 23, 2013 ⋅ One comment

We’ve reported on the Egypt­ian Mus­lim Brotherhood’s move to estab­lish civil­ian par­al­lel police to sup­ple­ment the secu­rity forces, coop­er­at­ing in this with the al-Qaeda-infiltrated Gama’a-al-Islamiya. Observers now report fears that the Broth­er­hood may be try­ing to infil­trate the Egypt­ian mil­i­tary, tra­di­tion­ally an non-ideological force in Egypt­ian society.


Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Staying True to Form (I Told You So, Part 5: Democracy Muslim Brotherhood Style, Part 5)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 17, 2013 ⋅ 2 comments

Egypt’s Mus­lim Broth­er­hood con­tin­ues to behave as we pre­dicted. It has for­mally attacked a United Nations dec­la­ra­tion against vio­lence against women. This, from the sup­pos­edly “demo­c­ra­tic,” “Western-oriented” orga­ni­za­tion we were told would usher in a “new era” in Egypt­ian pol­i­tics. The Broth­er­hood is also coop­er­at­ing with the Jama’a al-Islamiya to assem­ble a cadre of Islamist civil­ian police to func­tion as a secu­rity force and par­al­lel police.


Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss: I Told You So, Part 4 (Democracy Muslim Brotherhood Style, Part 4)

Man­i­fest­ing the agenda of the Mus­lim Brotherhood–an Islamic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion allied with the Axis in World War II, Mohamed Morsi is behav­ing in a pre­dictable fash­ion. Morsi’s gov­ern­ment is attempt­ing to cen­sor pop­u­lar media. The reforms desired by the Egypt­ian peo­ple have proved illu­sory. Tor­ture con­tin­ues to the rou­tine of the secu­rity forces.


Cashing Out: Al [Gore] Jazeera Buys Current TV

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ January 5, 2013 ⋅ 4 comments

For years, we have noted the U.S. pol­icy shift toward embrac­ing the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, an Islamic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion allied with the Axis dur­ing World War II. Begun dur­ing George W. Bush’s sec­ond term, that pol­icy shift con­tin­ues to gather momen­tum, with Democ­rats falling head­long into a trap laid by the Under­ground Reich’s satraps in the Repub­li­can Party. On the heels of the Brotherhood’s smash­ing vic­tory in the so-called “Arab Spring” (aided and abet­ted by the GOP/Underground Reich fac­tion of the Amer­i­can national secu­rity estab­lish­ment), Al Gore sold his Cur­rent TV cable and satel­lite chan­nel to the Al Jazeera net­work. Ulti­mately, this will trag­i­cally, dev­as­tat­ingly rebound on the Democ­rats, Jews/Israelis and, ulti­mately, Rus­sia, China and India–large nations slated for break up by the Under­ground Reich-dominated transna­tion­als. Dom­i­nated by the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, Al Jazeera will now be able to spread its pro­pa­gan­dized news to a wider audience.


A Harbinger of Things to Come: Nazi Hacking Group Takes Credit for Taking Down CIA Web Site

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ January 3, 2013 ⋅ 14 comments

Using clever, pop­ulist and anti-corporate rhetoric, neo-Nazi groups have been able to win con­verts, not unlike the early Nazi Party in Ger­many. Now, a Nazi hack­ing group claims credit for tak­ing down the CIA’s web­site. In this regard, they are ful­fill­ing a pre­dic­tion we made decades ago–that the Under­ground Reich would turn on Amer­ica fol­low­ing our impor­ta­tion of Third Reich alumni after WWII.


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

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 16, 2012 ⋅ 6 comments

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.”


I Told You So: Update on the “Muslim Brotherhood Spring,” The “Hacktober Surprise” and the Destabilization of Lee Harvey Obama

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ October 3, 2012 ⋅ 4 comments

As fore­cast in the For The Record series deal­ing with Wik­iLeaks and mor­ph­ing into the “Mus­lim Broth­er­hood Spring,” the GOP is tar­ring Barack Obama with the “soft on ter­ror­ism” brush–casting him as the sec­ond com­ing of Jimmy Carter. Attack­ing the Obama admin­is­tra­tion for not hav­ing pre­vented the lethal attack on the Libyan embassy, the GOP is explic­itly com­par­ing Obama’s actions with Carter’s behav­ior dur­ing the Iran­ian hostage cri­sis. The avail­able evi­dence sug­gests that the “Mus­lim Broth­er­hood Spring” is a covert operation–the out­growth of a George Bush State Depart­ment reassess­ment and rap­proche­ment with the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, as well as an approach made to the Egypt­ian April 6 move­ment dur­ing the clos­ing days of Dubya’s sec­ond term.


Is Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Government Going to Develop Nuclear Weapons?

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ September 12, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Mov­ing to expand Egypt’s power grid, that country’s Mus­lim Broth­er­hood pres­i­dent is reported to be mov­ing to estab­lish an Egypt­ian nuclear weapons pro­gram. The Mus­lim Broth­er­hood has long advo­cated the devel­op­ment of such a pro­gram, and Morsi’s announce­ment fol­lows on the heels of his trip to Tehran. Some believe that Morsi may take the Ira­ni­ans up on an offer to develop a nuclear deterrent.


Egypt returns to the square. Square one.

Posted by Pterrafractyl ⋅ June 14, 2012 ⋅ 13 comments

Well, two days before Egypt’s his­toric pres­i­den­tial runoff between the Mus­lim Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi and Mubarak’s ex-Prime Min­is­ter Ahmed Shafiq it looks like Egypt’s rev­o­lu­tion is back to the square. No, not mass protests in Tahrir square, although that looks like a very real pos­si­bil­ity sooner or later. That’s because Egypt’s rev­o­lu­tion is back to square one. It’s been quite a week in Egypt.
