FTR #830 Machiavelli 2.0: The Paris Attacks and the Muslim Brotherhood

In the wake of the ter­ror­ist inci­dents in Paris, dis­cus­sion has point­ed­ly omit­ted the per­pe­tra­tors’ links to the Mus­lim Brotherhood–the Islam­ic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion that spawned groups like Al Qae­da and ISIS. Por­trayed in the West as a “mod­er­ate’ orga­ni­za­tion, the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood was allied with the Axis in World War II and nur­tured as anti-com­mu­nist cadre by West­ern Intel­li­gence (CIA in par­tic­u­lar) dur­ing the Cold War. Suc­cess­ful­ly scape­goat­ed by Euro­pean fas­cist groups like the Nation­al Front, ele­ments of the Broth­er­hood net­work with those same fas­cists, mutu­al­ly ben­e­fit­ting from cul­tur­al and polit­i­cal alien­ation gen­er­at­ed among their respec­tive sup­port­ers. Much of the pro­gram reviews and details the cor­po­ratist and free mar­ket eco­nom­ic phi­los­o­phy of the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, an ide­ol­o­gy that endears the Ikhwan to pow­er­ful polit­i­cal and eco­nom­ic inter­ests in the U.S. and else­where in the West. Broth­er­hood ele­ments con­tin­ue to be used as proxy war­riors by ele­ments of West­ern and Sau­di intel­li­gence in places like the Cau­ca­sus and Chi­na’s Xin­jiang Province.


FTR #815 Walkin’ the Snake at Al Jazeera

In pre­vi­ous posts, we have not­ed that Al Jazeera is run by the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. We have also dealt with the Nazi tract “Ser­pen­t’s Walk,” which focus­es on a Nazi takeover of the U.S. in the mid-21st cen­tu­ry. Fun­da­men­tal to the sce­nario pre­sent­ed in the book is the Under­ground Reich/SS mon­ey com­po­nent buy­ing into the opin­ion-form­ing media, in order to swing the Amer­i­can peo­ple’s point of view in a pro-Nazi direc­tion. With Al Jazeera among those media out­lets gain­ing grav­i­tas in the U.S., it is worth exam­in­ing the net­work in detail to under­stand its rela­tion­ship with the Broth­er­hood, an Islam­ic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion. The Al Jazeera net­work’s shep­herd­ing of a report about the late Yass­er Arafat hav­ing been poi­soned with polo­ni­um 210 affords us an ide­al oppor­tu­ni­ty to eval­u­ate the out­let’s jour­nal­is­tic integri­ty. (Polo­ni­um 210 is a high­ly radioac­tive sub­stance.) The “inves­ti­ga­tion” is an Al Jazeera “op” from start to fin­ish, over­seen by a for­mer U.S. State Depart­ment secu­ri­ty offi­cer. The alleged “poi­son­ing” is: extra­or­di­nar­i­ly unlike­ly; at vari­ance with the con­clu­sions of the French med­ical team attend­ing Arafat and in con­flict with the con­clu­sions of the PLO lead­er’s per­son­al physi­cian, who attrib­uted the death to AIDS.


The Ministry of Truth and Malaysian Air 370

Nev­er have we seen the news media–The Min­istry of Truth in the most lit­er­al, Orwellian sense–behave more shame­ful­ly. The same Islamist/Muslim Broth­er­hood ele­ments fig­ure into this inves­ti­ga­tion as into 9/11 and–most recently–the Boston Marathon bomb­ing. The pilot was a devo­tee of Malaysian Mus­lim Broth­er Anwar Ibrahim, who was con­vict­ed on sodomy charges hours before the plane’s dis­ap­pear­ance.


Better Late than Never: Appellate Court Clears the Way for 9/11 Families to Sue Saudi Arabia

An appel­late court has cleared the way for fam­i­lies of 9/11 vic­tims to sue Sau­di Ara­bia, focus­ing on, among oth­er things, char­i­ties used to fund al-Qae­da. IF this inves­ti­ga­tion were to pro­ceed as far as it might, Grover Norquist, Karl Rove and oth­ers in the GOP/Bush milieu would come under scruti­ny, as would Fran­cois Genoud, Youssef Nada and the Under­ground Reich. In addi­tion, there is renewed focus on the redact­ed 28 pages of the Join Intel­li­gence Com­mit­tee Inquiry, which impli­cate Sau­di Ara­bia.


Winning by losing in Egypt?

With the May 23–24 elec­tions in Egypt just around the cor­ner anoth­er runoff is look­ing like­ly in the pres­i­den­tial race with no clear leader yet to emerge. But one thing is clear: the top Islamist in the race won’t be the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood­s’s can­di­date...sort of.
