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.


Fee, Fi . . . Ho, Hum: The Usual Suspect Elements Come into Focus in (“How Many Lies Can You Allow Yourself to Believe before You Belong to the Lie?”)

Numer­ous ele­ments have come into focus in con­nec­tion with the inves­ti­ga­tion of the Boston bomb­ing. They include a sub­sidiary of Dick Cheney’s Hal­libur­ton. In addi­tion, the mosque they attended and at which they may have been rad­i­cal­ized is part of the milieu shep­herded by Grover Norquist.


A Lie Can Run a Marathon Before the Truth Can Put Its Running Shoes on: (“Truther” Consequences)

The news cycle in this coun­try is dom­i­nated by cov­er­age of the Boston bomb­ings. This is pre­dictable. So is the ten­dency toward sim­plis­tic and/or one-dimensional analy­sis. Gen­er­ally, we’re hear­ing: It was the “gov­ern­ment,” “home-grown domes­tic (i.e. right-wing, Aryan types) ter­ror­ists,” or “Islamic ter­ror­ists.” As this post indi­cates, the divi­sions among these are not nearly so simple.


The Company they Keep: Mearsheimer, Walt and “The Socialism of Fools”

Co-author of a con­tro­ver­sial book on the Israel Lobby, John Mearsheimer has run pro­fes­sional inter­fer­ence for a wild-eyed anti-Semite and Hitler apol­o­gist named Gilad Atz­mon. Atzmon’s views would make Goebbels blush. In addi­tion to endors­ing Mearsheimer’s sup­port for Atz­mon, Stephen Walt has con­tributed to a pub­li­ca­tion openly affil­i­ated with Hamas and giv­ing access to medieval anti-Semites of Atzmon’s ilk.


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.


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.


Cashing Out: Al [Gore] Jazeera Buys Current TV

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.


Reflections on the Petraeus Affair

As was the case with Bill Clin­ton, no sooner does Obama win reelec­tion than his admin­is­tra­tion is involved in an expand­ing sex scan­dal, which may well under­mine his Mid­dle East­ern pol­icy, as well as hand­ing polit­i­cal to the GOP. Replac­ing David Petraeus–temporarily and per­haps permanently–is Michael J. Morell, who briefed George W.Bush on intel­li­gence mat­ters. Morell was with Bush on the morn­ing of 9/11.


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

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.


“Austerity” Equals Fascism, Part I: The Republicans are Nazis

Descended from political/economic inter­ests that sup­ported Hitler, tried to over­throw Franklin Roo­sevelt and did kill JFK, the GOP man­i­fests the her­itage of decades of covert oper­a­tions that brought Third Reich vet­er­ans into the Amer­i­can polit­i­cal main­stream. The upcom­ing elec­tion may deter­mine the fate of our civilization.
