THE POWER ELITE AND THE MUSLIM



BROTHERHOOD



PART 10

[Note: Another attempt to establish a NAFTA corridor is underway with a highway program called “Port-to-Plains Corridor” that will cover over 2300 miles and serve Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming. Fabio Angell, economic development director for the City of Del Rio port of entry stated: “We serve as a key link between the English-speaking North and Spanish-speaking South within NAFTA and beyond.”

An example of the secular media’s attacks upon public expression of faith is their critique of Denver Bronco’s quarterback Tim Tebow. It reminds one of a quote attributed to C.S. Lewis; “The modern world insists that religion be a purely private affair, then shrinks the area of privacy to the vanishing point.” Tebow’s life is a great prolife example. When his mother Pamela was critically ill as a missionary in Southeast Asia, her doctors encouraged her to abort the child in her womb to save her life. She refused, and Tim was born!

An example of the radical left's lack of respect for the U.S. Constitution can be seen in a recent remark by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Time magazine (February 20) reported that on Egyptian al-Hayat television, she said they should look at South Africa's constitution as a model that embraces human rights, and she remarked: "I would not look to the U.S. Constitution if I were drafting a new constitution in the year 2012."]

At the beginning of Part 8 of this series I referred to the activities of the Power Elite (PE) member George Soros and the global financial crisis that is coming. Matthew Vadum in the Capital Research Center’s Organization Trends (March 2012) recounts that Soros has described himself as “some kind of little god” and that the financier recently told Newsweek: “In the crisis period, the impossible becomes possible.” Vadum explains that “for years Soros has longed for an opportunity to transform America into a Socialist state…. He has said that European-style Socialism ‘is exactly what we need now’ and favors American decline.”

At the end of Part 9 of this series, I referred to the “accidental” burning of the Koran by American soldiers and how it inflamed Afghan Muslims. On March 12, an American sergeant, who earlier had a traumatic brain injury, went on a rampage killing 16 Afghan women and children. This is also guaranteed to inflame the Afghans, and follows a video posted in January showing U.S. soldiers urinating on the corpses of Afghan insurgents, and the November conviction of another American soldier (ringleader of a rogue “kill team”) charged with murdering Afghan civilians just for the fun of it! Following the March 12 murderous rampage by the American sergeant, on March 15 Afghan President Hamid Karzai surprised Defense Secretary Leon Panetta by asking that foreign troops be withdrawn from Afghan villages and confined to military bases. Responding to this, Wall Street Journal Afghanistan editor Yaroslav Trofimov wrote that it would “essentially end the U.S. combat role just as the annual Taliban spring offensive begins.” The Taliban also announced they were suspending reconciliation talks with the U.S. Why is this happening now? Think about it.

In David Ignatius’ article, “A ‘cosmic wager’ on the Muslim Brotherhood” (Washington Post, Feb. 15, 2012), he indicated that “the Brotherhood is driving the opposition movement in Syria.” The Sunni MB (begun in Syria in 1945) believes that Alawite Shiite regimes of Hafez al-Assad, and now his son Bashar, are “apostate.” The MB was banned from Syria in 1963 when the Baath Party took power, but in February 2006 Syrian MB leader Ali Sadreddine Bayanouni joined with former Syrian vice-president Abdel Halim Khaddam to oppose Assad. Now, Hamas (Sunni) is realigning with the MB and has indicated it will not aid Iran (Shiite) if the latter is attacked by Israel.

In “Truth and falsehood in Syria” (Al-Ahram Weekly, October 13-19, 2011), Jeremy Salt (associate professor of Middle Eastern history and politics at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey) wrote that “the Syrian people are entitled to demand democracy and to be given it.” However, he also revealed that “in the eyes of many Syrians, their country is once again the target of an international conspiracy…. Armed groups have killed hundreds of police, soldiers and civilians…. Large shipments of weapons have been smuggled into Syria from Lebanon and Turkey…. Interrogation of captured members of armed gangs points in the direction of former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri’s Future Movement. Hariri is a front man for the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, with influence spreading well beyond Lebanon. Armed opposition to the regime largely seems to be sponsored by the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood…. The Brotherhood has two prime objectives: the destruction of the Baathist government and the destruction of the secular state in favor of an Islamic system…. If the Syrian government is brought down, every last Baathist and Alawi will be hunted down. In a government dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, the status of minorities and women would be driven back.”

What did Salt mean by "once again the target of an international conspiracy"? Perhaps he means that just as in 1957 the British were supporting revolutionary activity in Syria, perhaps they are doing likewise today. The Israeli military intelligence website known asDebkafile (February 8, 2012) reported that "British and Qatari special operations units are operating with rebel forces under cover in the Syrian city of Homs.... They are tactical advisers" relaying the rebels' requests for arms, fighters, etc. "to outside suppliers, mostly in Turkey."

According to "Macmillan backed Syria assassination plot" (The Guardian, September 26, 2003), in September 1957 a top secret document was drawn up in Washington, DC by a high-level working group consisting of members of the CIA and MI6 (British intelligence). The document described a "plan to stage fake border incidents as an excuse for an invasion by Syria's pro-western neighbors, and then to 'eliminate' the most influential triumvirate in Damascus." The plan was approved by President Dwight Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, and it stated: "Once a political decision is reached to proceed with internal disturbances in Syria, CIA is prepared, and SIS (MI6) will attempt, to mount minor sabotage and coup de main incidents within Syria, working through contacts with individuals.... CIA and SIS should use their capabilities in both the psychological and action fields to augment tension." The Guardian article also revealed that "the CIA and MI6 would instigate internal uprisings, for instance by the Druze in the south, help to free political prisoners held in the Mezze prison, and stir up the Muslim Brotherhood in Damascus." It looks like today the MB has been "stirred up" once again !

Salt also wrote that Mohamed Riyad al-Shaqfa, the current leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria, is receptive to outside “humanitarian intervention” in Syria on the Libyan model. And on January 18, he said that the Arab League should press the UN Security Council to take “deterrent measures” against President Bashar al-Assad, including a “no fly zone.” According to Al Arabiya News (January 19), Shaqfa also confirmed the MB rejected an indirect approach from Iran to mediate with Assad.

And what is the position of Israel regarding the revolution in Syria? While the Israelis do not like Assad, they are also concerned about a revolution that would bring the MB to power. Relevant to this, the London-based Asharq al-Awsat on February 2, 2012 published “The Syrian crisis calculations,” in which Osman Mirghani wrote: “The fears regarding Israel also include the possibility that the fall of the al Assad regime may result in the Muslim Brotherhood rising to power, along the lines of Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco. The last thing Israel would want is to find itself besieged by Muslim Brotherhood regimes along its border from Egypt to Syria, and pro-Iran movements from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Hamas in Gaza.”

Relevant to this, on Sada al-Balad TV on February 22, 2012, Egyptian cleric Dr. Sallah Sultan (member of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, headed by Global MB leader Youssef Qaradawi) said: “Wasn’t Israel defeated in Lebanon and vanquished in Gaza? Allah is present in this equation, and He is capable of obliterating America and any other oppressor…. He will deliver a mortal blow at a time when non one expects it.” Sultan also recently issued a fatwa (religious ruling) on Al-Jazeera TV calling for the killing of the Israeli Ambassador to Egypt. And Qaradawi in his Friday (March 16) sermon aired on Al-Jazeera TV said regarding Jews, “Oh Allah, count their numbers, and kill them, down to the very last one.” He also said the West and especially America “should collapse” as well unless they “stand by what is just” against Israel.


© 2012 Dennis Cuddy - All Rights ReservedThe MB’s support of Qaradawi can be seen in a recent incident. He criticized the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for reportedly revoking of visas of Syrians who had protested against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Qaradawi said this UAE action was “forbidden” under Islamic Sharia law. However, because of his criticism, Dubai (UAE) police chief, Dhabi Khalfan, said: “We are going to issue an arrest warrant against Sheik Qaradawi.” In response to that, Egyptian MB spokesman Mahmoud Ghozlin said his movement and “the Islamic world as a whole” would take action to defend Qaradawi.

THE POWER ELITE AND THE


MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD


PART 9

By Dennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D.
March 5, 2012
NewsWithViews.com

I ended Part 8 of this series with the announcement of Yemen’s presidential election on February 21. The result of that election was Abdurabah Mansur Hadi was elected with the support of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh. The leader of Yemen’s Muslim Brotherhood (MB), cleric Abdel-Majid al-Zindani, in January 2010 warned the country not to allow “occupation” by foreign powers as it cooperates with the U.S. in counter-terrorism (The Global Muslim Daily Report, January 13, 2010). And in “Unconstitional, Disorderly, and Non-peaceful” (Al-Ahram Weekly Online, October 6-12, 2011), one learns that al-Qaeda figure Anwar al-Awlaki, killed by a U.S. drone strike in Yemen, had been residing in the homes of various Yemeni MB leaders, and “frequented the farm of the Islamist leader Abdel-Majid al-Zindani.”

The founder of the MB, Hassan al-Banna, was an admirer of Adolf Hitler from the 1930s. During WWII, al-Banna in 1942 set up branches of the MB in Palestine and what was known then as Transjordan. Another prominent MB member was Sayyid Qutb, and in David Ignatius’ “A ‘cosmic wager’ on the Muslim Brotherhood” (Washington Post, Feb. 15), he explained that Qutb’s “encounter with the United States in the 1940s proved poisonous. After visiting New York, Washington, Colorado and Los Angeles, he concluded that ‘the soul has no value to Americans’.” Ignatius then went on to assess that “the Obama administration has made what might be described as a ‘cosmic wager’ on the Muslim Brotherhood’s peaceful intentions. By courting them in 2009, the United States helped legitimize their political aspirations; by refusing to come to Mubarak’s rescue during the Tahrir Square protests a year ago, the United States all but guaranteed that the Brotherhood would emerge as a dominant political force in a new Egypt.”

After “courting” the MB in 2009, Patrick Cooper in “U.S. Embassy Sponsors Irish Muslim Business Conference” (IrishCentral.com, October 7, 2010) related how the U.S. ambassador to Ireland presented President Obama’s book, The Audacity of Hope, to the Irish MB leader Imam Hussein Halawa (who has strong ties to the global MB). Cooper indicated “a main point of the conference was the need for Sharia law compliant financial products to be used…. Ambassador Dan Rooney congratulated the organizers and said that the U.S. was ‘solid partners’ in the venture.”

In Egypt, on January 11 Mohamed Morsy (head of the MB’s Freedom and Justice Party) stressed that U.S.-Egyptian ties in the future must be “balanced,” and that the U.S. should adopt a “positive position concerning Arab and Muslim causes.” On the same day, Egypt’s 3-phase lower house parliamentary elections concluded, with the MB controlling 47.18% of the seats and the Salafist Al-Nur Party gaining 24.29%. The Salafists want to impose Sharia Islamic religious law, and the MB says it will not “immediately” insist on an “integral application of Sharia.” In other words, it’s only a matter of time before the MB imposes Sharia.

Almost a year before the January 2011 revolution in Egypt, one of the Power Elite’s mouthpieces, the Council on Foreign Relations’Foreign Affairs (March 26, 2010) headlined an article, “Egypt’s Hero?” by Steven Cook about Dr. Mohammed ElBaradei. After the revolution began, though, the MB withdrew its support of ElBaradei for president, and on January 14, 2012 he announced he was withdrawing from the race, saying “the [Mubarak] regime has not yet fallen.” The newspaper Al-Sharouk announced that “ElBaradei has stripped bare the former regime” and Al-Masri Al-Youm said: “The ElBaradei bomb explodes in the face of the military.” In Abeer Tavel’s “Why Now, Mr. ElBaradei?!” (Al Arabiya News, January 15), one reads that “ElBaradei knows quite well that taking such a step [withdrawing from the presidential race] at this time would definitely shake the country.” The writer then ominously notes that the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces was unlikely to allow ElBaradei to win anyway! The MB and the Salafists had a different take on ElBaradei’s withdrawal, though, both saying he wasn’t favored by Islamist groups who won the parliamentary elections.


Parliament met for the first time on January 23, with the MB’s Mohamed al-Katatni as speaker and two deputy speakers from the Salafists’ Al-Nur Party and the liberal Wafd Party. January 25, 2012 marked the 1-year anniversary of the Egyptian revolution that ousted Mubarak from power, and demonstrations were held then and on January 27 in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. On the latter date, however, according to Associated Press (AP) reporters Sarah El Deeb and Aya Batrawy in “Islamists, protesters scuffle at Egypt rally,” the “Muslim Brotherhood supporters and secular protesters hurled bottles and rocks at each other and got into fistfights… as their differences boiled over at a rally by tens of thousands…. Some protesters complain the Brotherhood sought to drown out other protesters by blaring religious anthems, Quranic recitations and music.” Remember, as I wrote earlier in this article, the MB only said it would not “immediately” insist upon the imposition of Sharia. But you can be sure it’s coming!

At the end of January, MB’s Freedom and Justice Party head Morsy spoke at the Egyptian Foreign Ministry’s headquarters on his party’s vision of Egypt’s future. And according to “As government-in-waiting, Egypt’s Brotherhood finds voice” (Al Arabiya News, February 26), an unnamed Western diplomat in Cairo claimed: “If you want to influence the next government’s policy, you need to talk to the Brotherhood, and you need to talk to them in depth.”

AP reporter El Deeb in “Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood wants government sacked” (February 9) wrote that the MB "called on the ruling generals to sack the military-appointed government, saying it has failed to manage the deteriorating security and economic situation in the country," and that "Brotherhood spokesman Mahmoud Ghozlan said the military should appoint a Brotherhood representative as prime minister, who would then form a new government."

On February 24, the MB’s Freedom and Justice Party announced it had won 107 seats (about 59%) in the Egyptian Parliament’s upper house, with the Salafists’ Nour Party winning 46 seats and the Wafd Party 19. It should be remembered, though, that the upper house’s powers are limited, and it can’t block legislation from the lower house.

In “Cleric says ex-Brotherhood man best for Egypt presidency” (Al Arabiya News, February 15), MB spiritual advisor Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi described former MB member Abdel Moneim Abul Fotouh as the “leading candidate” for president in the election to be held on May 23 and 24 with a run-off vote on June 16 and 17 and final results to be released on June 21. The article indicated that al-Qaradawi’s remarks could influence the supporters of the MB to vote for Fotouh. However, on February 23 Fotouh was attacked by three men and suffered a concussion (he was released from the hospital the next morning). Was this a warning to him not to run for the presidency? In “Post-revolution Egypt chooses its president on May 23” (Al Arabiya News, March 1), one reads that “many analysts see [Amr] Moussa [former Arab League chief] as the front-runner but say much will depend on what kind of backing he can secure from the Muslim Brotherhood….”


Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi has been living in Qatar, and in “Did the Libyan Leadership Deceive the West?” by Jonathan Halevi (Jerusalem Issue Briefs, October 27, 2011), “the [Libyan] rebels are said to have received about $2 billion from the Qatari government. Qatari involvement is likely to produce a regime in Libya that follows the political orientation of Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, thereby giving the Muslim Brotherhood an open door in the new Libya.” In 2004, Qaradawi issued a fatwa (Islamic religious decree) indicating Muslims could kill Americans in Iraq.


© 2012 Dennis Cuddy - All Rights ReservedAccording to a Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report he is also considered a “spiritual guide for Hamas and has issued fatwas in support of suicide bombings against Israeli citizens. Moreover, he is the head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS, begun July 11, 2004), which on February 27, 2012 issued a “Statement on Qur’an Burning in Afghanistan” saying “IUMS calls for an immediate investigation so as to punish the perpetrators of this criminal act… the burning of some copies of the noble Qur’an by some American soldiers who do not care for the sanctity of Muslims in their lands. It is unfortunate that this is not the first time for American soldiers to commit this sacrilege; they previously burnt copies of the noble Qur’an in Afghanistan and America.” How did American soldiers once again “accidentally” burn the Koran? Isn’t there a learning curve somewhere regarding this, and couldn’t they have simply turned them over to Afghan President Hamid Karzi’s religious leader for proper disposal?

THE POWER ELITE AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD


PART 8

By Dennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D.

February 20, 2012

NewsWithViews.com

[Note: Further to my series on the disarmament of America, the Associated Press (AP) on February 14, 2012 reported that "the Obama administration is weighing options for sharp new cuts to the U.S. nuclear force, including a reduction of up to 80 percent in the number of deployed weapons. Even the most modest option now under consideration would be an historic and politically bold disarmament step in a presidential election year, although the plan is in line with President Barack Obama's 2009 pledge to pursue the elimination of nuclear weapons."

Celebrating the 47th anniversary of the Palestinian Authority’s Fatah faction, Mufti Muhammad Hussein cited the Hadith teaching (attributed to the prophet Mohammed) that Jews should be killed. According to a July 2011 study by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner sponsored by Israel Project, 73% of Palestinian Arabs “believe” this Hadith.

If you look at "Images: Islamic Nazism" under WikiIslam, you will see Palestinian police and soldiers today using the Nazi solute. In my newest book, The Power Elite and the Secret Nazi Plan, I include a picture of Hezbollah using the same salute (as does Hamas). In my book, I describe how key Nazi figures like Martin Bormann escaped to South America. There is also a new book, Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler, by Gerrard Williams and Simon Dunstan that claims Hitler died in Argentina in 1962. In the October 17, 2011 edition of the Melbourne, Australia Herald Sun, one reads that Williams and Dunstan claim there is an “overwhelming amount of evidence” from newly declassified documents and forensic tests to support the authors’ contention. The Herald Sun article states that “the book also accuses U.S. intelligence of being complicit in the scam in return for access to Nazi war technology.” Furthermore, the article relates that Williams and Dunstan assert that their findings prove the Hitler skull fragments held by Russia are actually that of a young woman! A film based on the new book is soon to be released.

Concerning American domestic politics, the personal attacks between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich could have the effect of creating such animosity between their supporters that President Obama is re-elected. Then, to keep the Power Elite’s planned alternation of power (George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama) going, Jeb Bush would be elected President in 2016 in time to accept the world currency planned for 2018.]

Because George Soros is a member of the Power Elite (PE), it’s important to know what he says about the future. On January 29, 2004 he told an audience at his alma mater (London School of Economics) that it is necessary to "puncture the bubble of American supremacy." And in his book, The Crash of 2008 and What it Means (2009), he explained: “So what does the end of an era really mean? I contend that it means the end of a long period of relative stability based on the United States as the dominant power and the dollar as the main international reserve currency. I foresee a period of political and financial instability hopefully to be followed by the emergence of a new world order.”

In an interview with the Financial Times (October 23, 2011), he said, “You need a new currency system…. You really need to bring China into the creation of a new world order, a financial world order…. China will be the engine driving [the world economy] forward and the U.S. will be actually a drag that’s being pulled along through a gradual decline in the value of the dollar.”

Then, according to John Arlidge’s article, “George Soros on the Coming U.S. Class War” (Newsweek, January 23, 2012), Soros believes “Europe is confronting a descent into chaos and conflict. In America he predicts riots on the streets that will lead to a brutal clampdown that will dramatically curtail civil liberties. The global economic system could even collapse altogether.” At the very least, members of the European Union (EU) are surrendering more of their national sovereignty, as on December 9, 2011 they agreed to allow the European Court of Justice to invalidate any member nation’s laws that did not provide for fiscal discipline. This is just one more step from monetary union to fiscal union.

As I’ve written before, the PE’s plan to achieve a World Socialist Government is to combine regional economic entities. The role of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in this regard can be seen in the reaction of a team of MB politicians to a recent statement by Mohammed Badi (Supreme Guide of the Egyptian MB). Badi said the recent revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East brought the MB’s goal of a global religious caliphate closer to reality. A team of MB politicians quickly explained this didn’t mean an end to national sovereignty, but rather Muslim nations simply joining in something like the European Union.

Commenting on the recent revolutions, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Judith Miller told Newsmax (February 2) that “these revolutionary movements that were spearheaded largely by secular, liberal young people have been taken over by Islamist forces…. The United States now faces a region that is going to be increasingly Islamic, increasingly intolerant to minorities, particularly Christians, and to alternative secular points of view…. I think overall the prospects for Christians and other minorities are looking very grim if [the Muslim Brotherhood] comes to power. And they seem poised inevitably to come to power, at least in Egypt but also other Sunni Arab states that have had these uprisings…. If the Egyptian economy fails, and it’s rapidly on route to failing—they are almost out of hard currency—you could actually have riots and chaos in the streets. You could have a turning by the Muslims on their Christian brethren in the hunt for scapegoats. And that is what the Christian community fears the most.”

The current Editor-in-Chief of Al-Najalla, Adel Al-Toraifi, in the London-based Asharq al-Awsat on December 29, 2011 explained that “at each historical crossroad, the Muslim Brotherhood returns to its extremist and radical principles.” Remember that al Qaeda’s current leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, got his start with the MB. According to a report by the Meir Amit Information Center in Israel, the MB wants to create a “Muslim world order” through a process of educating the individual, then the family, and finally society at large.

Adel Al-Toraifi, mentioned above, believes that in the North Africa and Middle East region, some cultural and media elites are “politically humoring the Muslim Brotherhood, and in some cases even defending its extremist ideology and history of violence. There can be no doubt that the Muslim Brotherhood moving closer to the seat of power, has prompted many, in turn, to try to move closer to it, either out of fear or out of a desire to achieve rapprochement with the group that will be in power.”

PE agent Zbiegniew Brzezinski has said that Turkey should be the model for all of the revolutions occurring in the region. However, Al-Toraifi argues that “those who expect—or hope—that the Muslim Brotherhood will develop its political discourse and practices so that it will resemble the Islamist experience in Turkey, have no concrete evidence for this whatsoever, rather this is merely wishful thinking…. Those who are betting that the Muslim Brotherhood will change are taking a shot in the dark and they must understand that the Brotherhood’s past history has only produced tragedy.” We should remember that after Egypt’s 2005 elections, the MB’s Supreme Guide Mahda Akef revealed that “for us, democracy is like a pair of slippers that we wear until we reach the bathroom, and then we take them off” (see the Al-Dostour newspaper for February 24, 2011).


Commenting on the U.S., MB and Turkey, Raghida Dergham in Dar Al Hayat (January 20, 2012) explained that “the United States is rushing to enable the Muslim Brotherhood to ignore the youths, excluded today from power, and ignore women, who are now being blindsided…. The Obama administration is only repeating the clichéd American way of being ready to dispense with anyone, if this in its interest, while turning a blind eye to principles and values…. Arab youths and Arab women do not intend to remain still under a new regional order being forged with Turkey’s leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab region—whom the West labels followers of moderate Islam or enlightened Islamists.”

It seems that the MB is also achieving power in Tunisia and Morocco, and the leading figure in Jordan’s MB, Zaki Bani Rusheid, told Reuters that the departure of President Ali Abdullah Saleh from Yemen “is a turning point not just for the Yemeni revolution but also is a huge push for the current changes in the Arab region and is the start of the real victory.” In November 2011, Saleh agreed to leave power and new presidential elections are scheduled for tomorrow (February 21).
