The “Sammy the Aryan” Show Hits the Road

After a bad­ly-com­pro­mised “inves­ti­ga­tion,” the polit­i­cal odyssey of George W. Bush asso­ciate Sami al-Ari­an (“Sam­my the Aryan”) has tak­en anoth­er turn. One of the founders of Pales­tin­ian Islam­ic Jihad (pic­tured at right), Al-Ari­an is going to be deport­ed. The inves­ti­ga­tion of al-Ari­an led to the Oper­a­tion Green Quest raids of 3/20/2002. Had that inves­ti­ga­tion been prop­er­ly under­tak­en, it would have exposed pro­found links between the Bush White House, the GOP and polit­i­cal “super lob­by­ist” Grover Norquist. In the event, al-Ari­an’s case was eclipsed and ulti­mate­ly buried. All of the con­tents of this web­site as of 12/19/2014–Dave Emory’s 35+ years of research and broadcasting–as well as hours of video­taped lec­tures are avail­able on a 32GB flash dri­ve. Dave offers his pro­grams and arti­cles for free–your sup­port is very much appre­ci­at­ed.


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 #807 Update on the Adventures of Eddie the Friendly Spook

Updat­ing “L’Af­faire Snow­den,” this pro­gram sup­ple­ments infor­ma­tion about the eco­nom­ic dam­age done to the Amer­i­can IT sec­tor by Snow­den’s dis­clo­sures. Snow­den’s “op” was, among oth­er things, an act of eco­nom­ic war­fare against the U.S.–a “psy-op” designed to pro­vide grav­i­tas for a pre-deter­mined Ger­man and Brazil­ian effort to upgrade their own IT sec­tors at the expense of the U.S. Oth­er points of infor­ma­tion include: more doc­u­men­ta­tion of the effort by Face­book and oth­er U.S. tech firms to data mine their cus­tomers to an extra­or­di­nary extent; Glenn Green­wald’s con­tin­ued efforts on behalf of fas­cists of var­i­ous stripes; the extreme sen­si­tiv­i­ty of doc­u­ments giv­en by Snow­den to indi­vid­u­als and insti­tu­tions not not autho­rized to receive such impor­tant infor­ma­tion; Ger­many’s “acci­den­tal” spy­ing on John Ker­ry and Hillary Clin­ton; counter-intel­li­gence spar­ring by the CIA, NSA, GCHQ and BND.


FTR #790 Now, About that Malaysian Airliner . . . .

Behind the pro­pa­gan­da about the dis­ap­pear­ance of Malaysian Air­lines Flight 370 being “mys­te­ri­ous,” the pro­gram notes the evi­den­tiary trib­u­taries run­ning between the pilot of the plane and the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. In turn, Anwar Ibrahim (the pilot’s polit­i­cal idol) is deeply con­nect­ed to the indi­vid­u­als and insti­tu­tions inves­ti­gat­ed in the Oper­a­tion Green Quest raids of 3/20/2002. Grover Norquist’s lob­by­ing firm appears to have rep­re­sent­ed Ibrahim. The pro­gram also looks at a strange inci­dent, in which a young Soma­li boy suc­cess­ful­ly stashed him­self in the wheel well of a jet at San Jose air­port. Mus­lim Broth­er­hood-linked ele­ments fig­ure in the back­ground of the event. Con­clud­ing with the cor­po­ratist phi­los­o­phy of the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, the broad­cast exam­ines com­par­isons between the orga­ni­za­tion and the GOP.


The Return of Bush’s Buddy: “Sammy the Aryan” Making the Rounds in Support of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood

For some time, we’ve cov­ered one of George W. Bush’s Mus­lim Broth­er­hood polit­i­cal asso­ciates Sami al-Ari­an. The Oper­a­tion Green Quest inves­ti­ga­tion into the financ­ing of ter­ror­ist groups (includ­ing al-Qae­da, Hamas and Pales­tin­ian Islam­ic Jihad) stemmed from an inves­ti­ga­tion into Sam­my al-Ari­an (“Sam­my the Aryan,” as we call him.) One of the lead­ers of Pales­tin­ian Islam­ic Jihad (pic­tured at right), al-Ari­an is now turn­ing out in sup­port of the oust­ed Egypt­ian Mus­lim Broth­er­hood.


Googling in the Bathtub with Grover Norquist

We have dis­cussed the fact that the col­lec­tion of meta­da­ta is rou­tine by Inter­net and cell­phone com­pa­nies, as well as retail out­lets that offer dis­count cards. (The har­vest­ing of meta­da­ta is the focal point of what the NSA does and what lies at the cen­ter of the “con­tro­ver­sy.”) Against the back­ground of Google’s financ­ing of Norquist’s cru­sades and oth­er right-wing caus­es, one can but won­der what Google may be doing with the vast amounts of meta­da­ta they har­vest.


Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish: Cause for Celebration, Reflection and Much, Much Caution

Resis­tance is NOT futile. Resis­tance is FERTILE! The Islam­ic fas­cist regime of Mohamed Mor­si has been deposed and the Egypt­ian army is crack­ing down on the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. We coun­sel cau­tion, how­ev­er. The Broth­er­hood is an Islam­ic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion that will con­tin­ue to func­tion as proxy war­riors for the Under­ground Reich. Hap­py Inde­pen­dence Day!


Corporatism and the Muslim Brotherhood

For many years, we have cov­ered the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, an Islam­ic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion allied with the Axis in World War II and nur­tured by ele­ments of West­ern intel­li­gence dur­ing the Cold War as anti-com­mu­nist cadre. In Jan­u­ary 2012, Salon.com pub­lished a very reveal­ing piece that pret­ty much lays it all out.


Walkin’ the [Islamist] Snake at Annapolis: Muslim Brotherhood Infiltrating the U.S. Naval Academy

For many years, we’ve cov­ered the activ­i­ties of the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, an Islam­ic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion allied with the Axis in World War II and West­ern intel­li­gence ser­vices dur­ing the Cold War. Now, the Broth­er­hood is infil­trat­ing the U.S. Naval Acad­e­my. Pro­fes­sors there are linked to the enti­ties tar­get­ed by Oper­a­tion Green Quest.


Fee, Fi . . . Ho, Hum: The Usual Suspect Elements Come into Focus in The Boston Marathon Bombing (“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.
