Update on “A Night in Tunisia”

COMMENT: In the long For The Record series deal­ing with Wik­iLeaks and the Piggy-Back Coups in the Mid­dle East, that tor­tu­ous jour­ney began with the coup in Tunisia, believed by some observers to have been trig­gered by the dis­clo­sure of State Depart­ment cables crit­i­cal of the Ben Ali regime.
As noted by the vig­i­lant “Terrafractyl”, [...]

Prominent GOP-Linked Evangelist: God Will Send Hunters (Like Hitler) to Pursue the Jews

COMMENT: Over the years, we’ve cov­ered the pro­found Nazi and fas­cist ele­ments at the foun­da­tion of the Repub­li­can Party. This extrem­ism con­tin­ues to express itself.
Texas GOP Gov­er­nor Rick Perry used “The Response” prayer event to launch his pres­i­den­tial bid. That event promi­nently fea­tured Mike Bickle, head of the Inter­na­tional House of Prayer.
Bickle recently opined [...]

Turkish Foreign Minister Pursues Ottoman Irredentist, Islamist and Revisionist Policy Course

COMMENT: In past pro­grams, we’ve asked whether the newly invig­o­rated pan-Turkist move­ment and Islamism might con­verge. Just such a devel­op­ment appears to be gain­ing momen­tum, with Turk­ish for­eign min­is­ter Ahmet Davu­to­glu hav­ing observed  the Mus­lim hol­i­day of Eid el-Fitr in Bosnia/Herzogovina.
In addi­tion to the fact that this for­mer Yugosla­vian province was part of [...]

English Defense League Admits Links to Norway Nazi Killer

COMMENT:  After ini­tial denial, the British populist/fascist group has admit­ted links to Anders Breivik, the Nor­way Nazi killer.
Aside from the super­fi­cial ele­ment of alarm–overt fas­cists gain­ing strength and pub­lic­ity in a time of severe eco­nomic cri­sis and social dislocation–the growth and activ­i­ties of groups like the EDL and Swe­den Democ­rats actu­ally work to strengthen [...]

S and P Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating: “Hail Victory” for the SS Kampfgruppe Norquist

COMMENT: Well, folks, they’ve done it. The GOP’s Tea Party fas­cists (with a gen­er­ous assist from an appar­ently clue­less and def­i­nitely gut­less Barack Obama) have suc­ceeded in caus­ing S & P to down­grade the U.S.‘s credit rat­ing from AAA–the first time in his­tory that this has been done.
In FTR #412, we out­lined the strat­egy of [...]

“Mine is Bigger than Yours Is!”–Prince Alwaleed Hires Saudi Bin Laden Group to Build World’s Tallest Tower

COMMENT: With the destruc­tion of the World Trade Cen­ter on 9/11, one of the world’s tallest build­ings dis­ap­peared. Now comes the news that Prince Alwaleed–supporter of Hamas (Pales­tin­ian branch of the Islam­o­fas­cist Mus­lim Broth­er­hood), apol­o­gist for the 9/11 attacks that destroyed the tow­ers, sec­ond largest stock­holder in Rup­pert Murdoch’s tar­nished media empire) has hired Saudi [...]

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood advancing Pro-Business Agenda

COMMENT: Although the Egypt­ian polit­i­cal scene remains in flux, with the elec­tions being delayed (as requested by many sec­u­lar inter­ests involved in the over­throw of Mubarak), the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood is advanc­ing its cor­po­ratist agenda. Recall that the Brotherhood’s eco­nomic the­o­reti­cian–the 14th cen­tury thinker Ibn Khal­dun–is regarded by the World Bank as the first advocate [...]

Nobody Here But Us Chickens: Murdoch Whistle Blower Found Dead

COMMENT: A Mur­doch whis­tle blower, cen­tral to help­ing to expose the phone hack­ing scan­dal, has been found dead in his apart­ment.
In what seems to be almost oblig­a­tory down­play­ing of the sig­nif­i­cance of this event, the author­i­ties are already spin­ning this death as “not sus­pi­cious.”
Remem­ber that this case goes to the high­est lev­els of the British [...]

Addendum to FTRs 721, 731

COMMENT: In FTR #721, we exam­ined the devel­op­ment of West­ern intel­li­gence uti­liza­tion of Islamists and the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood in par­tic­u­lar. Much of the pro­gram cen­tered on Ger­hardt von Mende, a Third Reich intel­li­gence oper­a­tive who used his Third Reich Islamists on behalf of the Fed­eral Repub­lic of Ger­many.
In A Mosque in Munich: Nazis, the CIA [...]

Update on the Piggy-Back Coups and the Muslim Brotherhood

COMMENT: Con­ser­v­a­tive Frank Gaffney–among the VERY few in this coun­try will­ing to attack Grover Norquist and Karl Rove for their sup­port for the Mus­lim Brotherhood–has  prop­erly exco­ri­ated the Obama admin­is­tra­tion and Hillary Clin­ton for their diplo­matic rap­proche­ment with that Islamic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion.
(I note that the Obama admin­is­tra­tion is sim­ply extend­ing an ini­tia­tive that was [...]
