THE POWER ELITE AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD PART 1 Power Elite (PE) agent Lord Herbert Samuel was one of the first to refer to the establishment of a “new world order” (House of Lords, May 16 and August 7, 1918). As a member of the Milner Group that controlled British foreign affairs from the beginning of the 20th century until WWII, Samuel in 1921 appointed Hajj Amin al-Husseini as Mufti and head political administrator of Arab Palestine. Lord Alfred Milner, who was in charge of executing PE member Cecil Rhodes’ secret “scheme to take the government of the whole world,” on June 27, 1923 in the House of Lords said regarding Palestine that there “must always remain not an Arab country or a Jewish country, but… an international country in which all the world has a special interest—I think some Mandatory Power will always be required.” While al-Husseini was in Palestine, Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in Egypt in 1928, and it has been from this organization that radical Islamic groups such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and al Qaeda have come (Mark Hosenball and Michael Isikoff of Newsweek have reported connections between al Qaeda and MB members Mamoun Darkazanli and Youssef Nada). Former CIA agent Robert Baer in Sleeping With the Devil explained how the U.S. “made common cause with the [Muslim] Brothers” and used them “to do our dirty work in Yemen, Afghanistan and plenty of other places.” In the 1930s, the MB supported Adolph Hitler (distributing hisMein Kampf), and by 1936 with only 800 members began to oppose British rule in Egypt. By 1938, the MB’s membership had grown to 200,000, and by the late 1940s to at least a half million. In 1933, when Adolph Hitler came to power in Germany, Young Egypt (Green Shirts) was also founded in October of that year by Ahmed Hussein who had been greatly influenced by al-Husseini. Young Egypt supported Hitler and the Nazis, and one of its early members was Anwar Sadat who helped the Nazis during WWII. In a September 18, 1953 letter to the Egyptian news daily Al Mussauar, he expressed his admiration for Hitler. During WWII, President Roosevelt was no real friend of the Jews. In Secretary of State Edward Stettinius’ papers, he wrote that during FDR’s meeting with Stalin at Yalta (February 4-11, 1945), Stalin asked FDR if he intended to make any concessions to King Saud of Saudi Arabia. And then Stettinius wrote: “The President replied that there was only one concession he thought he might offer, and that was to give him the 6 million Jews in the United States.” The outrageousness of this remark by FDR is perhaps rivaled only by the hypocrisy of his “Day of Infamy” speech regarding the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, because two weeks earlier (Nov. 25) he had talked with Secretary of War Henry Stimson about how they “should maneuver them [Japan] into the position of firing the first shot”! This quote comes from the diary of Stimson, who was a Council on Foreign Relations member as well as the Skull & Bones member who initiated George H.W. Bush into the same Yale University secret society. After WWII, Gamal Abdel Nasser (a leader of Young Egypt) led the July 1952 coup against the monarchy in Egypt, becoming president in 1956. At first, the CIA indirectly supported Nasser. In The Game of Nations, CIA agent (in Egypt) Miles Copeland revealed the agency subcontracted more than one hundred Nazi specialists in security and interrogation techniques to help Nasser. However, as Nasser grew stronger, CIA director Allen Dulles saw him as a threat who could ally Arabs and Muslims far beyond Egyptian national boundaries. Copeland said Dulles told him, “If that Colonel [Nasser] of yours pushes us too far, we will break him in half.” The MB had originally supported Nasser, and the 1952 revolt, but they became disenchanted with him when it became apparent he would not establish an Islamic state. They were blamed for an assassination attempt on him in 1954, and according to Copeland, interrogations of MB members after the attempt revealed they were merely a “guild” that fulfilled the goals of western interests: “Nor was that all. Sound beatings of the Muslim Brotherhood organizers who had been arrested revealed that the organization had been thoroughly penetrated, at the top, by the British, American, French and Soviet intelligence services, any one of which could either make active use of it or blow it up, whichever best suited its purposes.” On the book jacket for Devil’s Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam (2005) by Robert Dreyfuss, one reads: “Among the hidden stories of U.S. collusion with radical Islam that Dreyfuss reveals here are President Eisenhower’s 1953 Oval Office meeting with a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the United States’ later alliance with that group and their Saudi patrons against Egypt’s President Nasser. Dreyfuss meticulously documents the CIA’s funding of the Iranian ayatollahs in the coup d’etat that restored Iran’s shah to power, the United States’ support for Saudi Arabia’s efforts to create a worldwide Islamic bloc as an antidote to Arab nationalism, and the longstanding ties between Islamic fundamentalists and the leading banks of the West. With clarity and rigor, Dreyfuss also chronicles how the United States looked the other way when Israel’s secret service supported the creation of the radical Palestinian group Hamas…. Devil’s Game reveals a history of double-dealing and cynical exploitation that continues to this day—as in Iraq, where the United States is backing radical Islamists, allied with Iran’s clerics, who have surfaced as the dominant force in the post-Saddam Hussein Iraqi government.” The Saudis were opposed to Nasser and became the primary supporters of the MB on the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. According to author Martin Lee in Razor Magazine (2004), MB members were “employed as teachers and imams in Saudi mosques, schools and government agencies, where they promoted the extremist doctrine of Sayyid Qutb, the Brotherhood’s leading scribe and theorist… [who] provided a Koranic justification for violence… [against] corrupting Western influences…. One of [Osama] bin Laden’s instructors in religious studies was… the exiled brother of Sayyid Qutb, who taught classes on the imperatives and nuances of Islamic jihad…. Muslim Brotherhood veterans have played a prominent role during every phase of bin Laden’s terrorist odyssey. © 2011 Dennis Cuddy - All Rights Reserved [Note: Relevant to my newest book, The Power Elite and the Secret Nazi Plan, the November 13, 2011 edition of The Telegraphpublished an article, “Angela Merkel promises to get to the bottom of neo-Nazi linked murders,” in which was indicated “there was speculation among the media and some politicians that the neo-Nazi suspects might have escaped detection for so long because of links to the country’s domestic intelligence service.” In my book, I wrote that Nazi Gen. Reinhard Gehlen’s organization after WWII in the mid-1950s became West Germany’s domestic intelligence service. And on Nov. 16, The Telegraph reported that German Chancellor Merkel said “Germany wants a strong European Union with 27 members… [and] also wants a 17-member Eurozone as strong and that inspires confidence. We are prepared to give up a piece of national sovereignty to achieve that.” This would all fit within the secret Nazi plan which is part of the larger Power Elite (PE) plan unfolding today.] About a month ago on October 24, Islamists claimed victory in Tunisia’s election. Abdel Hamid Jlazzi, the campaign manager for Ennahda (which came from the Muslim Brotherhood [MB]), said his party (Ennahda) had won first place in the vote for an assembly which will draft a constitution and appoint an interim president and government until new elections in late 2012 or early 2013. Egypt’s parliamentary elections begin today covering nine provinces including the cities of Cairo and Alexandria. Analysts say Isalmists could win about 40% of the seats with a large portion going to the MB. According to The Washington Post in “Muslim Brotherhood Sells Cheap Food Ahead of Holiday and Egypt Parliament Vote” (November 5), the MB “is using its long-standing charity networks to gain an edge over more liberal and secular candidates…. Critics call it vote-buying.” One of the major reasons for Egyptians demanding the removal of President Hosni Mubarak was the large number of unemployed. However, The Washington Post article also revealed that “unemployment has risen since the winter protests that ousted President Mubarak and empowered the nation’s military.” In addition to discounted food, the MB has also provided mobile health clinics. They are challenged by the more fundamentalist Islamists named the Salafists, who were a movement begun in Saudi Arabia and who want Sharia law. Could this be the Saudis’ way of influencing the Egyptian election results? As the election got nearer, Al Arabia News on November 18 reported that hundreds of thousands of Egyptians protested in Cairo’s Tahrir Square against the army’s continued rule over the people. According to Al Arabia News, “Friday’s rally was dominated by the country’s most organized political group, the Muslim Brotherhood.” With MB member Hani Hegazi saying, “The army has no role in ruling people…. We want civilian rule….” Reuters reported in “Protest in Tahrir Square Against Military Rule” (November 18) that “Deputy Prime Minister Ali al-Silmi showed a constitutional draft to political groups earlier this month which would give the army exclusive authority over its internal affairs and budget.” Protestors in Alexandria chanted “We went down to demand change but they removed Mubarak and brought the Field Marshal,” referring to Hussein Tantawi (head of the ruling military council after being Mubarak’s defense minister for twenty years). The protestors wanted Tantawi to be replaced by a civilian council. As the protests became violent, the MB withdrew its support because it didn’t want the turmoil to disrupt the elections (though hundreds of younger MB members still protested). In clashes on Sunday (November 20), four protestors were killed, and NBC Nightly News showed one being dragged away by police or security forces and tossed on a pile of garbage! By Friday, November 25, 41 protestors were dead. The International Business Times reported that demonstrators had been hit with “dangerous levels of CR gas.” CR gas, unlike the CS gas (tear gas), has a neuro-toxic or nerve agent that can be lethal. And The Age (Melbourne, Australia) reported on November 23 that the CR canisters are marked “Made in the USA.” If you are wondering whether NATO will respond to this as they did in Libya, don’t count on it. According to Reuters’ “Army, police charge Egypt protestors who vow to stay” (November 20), “Islamists eyeing a strong showing in the next parliament suspect the army wants to curtail their influence.” According to CNN in Cairo on November 21, some protestors believe Mubarak is running the military council and the entire country from prison. Many Egyptians are also worried that a large number of Mubarak’s ruling party could win election because the military didn’t ban them from running for office unless they were convicted of political corruption. Interviewed by CNN in Cairo on November 21, protestor Mosa’ab Elshamy said, “People here feel that they… have moved from an autocracy to a military dictatorship.” And in an Associated Press account from Cairo on November 21, protestor Mohammed Sayyed was quoted as saying, “The people are frustrated. Nothing changed for the better.” Responding to protestors’ demands, the military leadership on November 22 said that it would hand power to an elected president no later than July 1, 2012. In an interview by Margaret Menge and Ashley Martella posted on newsmax.com (November 22), Mideast expert and advisor to Congress Walid Phares concluded that “at the end of the day it is really the Muslim Brotherhood who are taking advantage of the process and we may end up seeing an Egypt, a few months from now, next year, as an Islamist state.” He said the MB wants power transferred from the military council into its own hands to use it to establish an Islamist state. Phares explained that “The Muslim Brotherhood are not going to be only in Egypt; they are going to be across the region.” Relevant to this, he warned that in Libya, where the transitional government recently announced that Sharia, or Islamic religious law, will be instituted, the young will be educated in madrasas (Islamic schools), and a Jihadist movement will be built up from those youth. © 2011 Dennis Cuddy - All Rights Reserved Dennis Laurence Cuddy, historian and political analyst, received a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (major in American History, minor in political science).

Click here for part -----> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,On Friday, November 25, more than 100,000 protestors were in Tahrir Square in Cairo, and the ruling army council announced that Kamal Ganzouri would head a national salvation cabinet. However, this angered the protestors, because Ganzouri was Hosni Mubarak’s Prime Minister from 1996-1999. On Friday, the MB held its own rally at Cairo’s prominent al-Azhar Mosque. And according to ynetnews.com reporter Eldad Beck, the rally “turned into a venomous anti-Israel protest, with attendants vowing to ‘one day kill all Jews.’ Throughout the event, Muslim Brotherhood activists chanted: ‘Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, judgment day has come.’”
