MIXED SEX

In Egypt, some Islamist candidates and religious scholars want to:

1. Destroy ancient monuments - seen as a form of idol worship

2. Ban mixed sex beaches

3. Ban bikinis

4. Ban alcohol

5. Ban gambling

Egypt's Islamists and tourism‎

The Islamists are expected to win two thirds of the seats in the Egyptian parliament.

Nader Bakkar, spokesman for the Salafist (Islamist) party says:

"We do want to see a type of Halal tourism ... such as segregation of beaches."



Not surprisingly, Egypt's economic woes mount

AFP reports:

"The fall of foreign currency reserves and the decline in tourism seriously complicates the economic situation," says Samer Suleiman, economics professor at the American University of Cairo.

"The large scores of Islamist parties in the first phase of elections will make investors nervous," he added.

(Egypt's economic woes mount)

The Muslim Brotherhood party and the fundamentalist Al-Nur (Salafi) party have won two thirds of the votes so far.

Both are committed to having sharia law.


Foreign investments have fallen from $6.8 billion in 2010 to $2.2 billion this year.

Foreign reserves have fallen from $36 billion at the beginning of the year to $20 billion.

By February, they are expected to fall to $15 billion, a level at which it will be difficult to pay for imports such as wheat, analysts say.

Egypt is the world's biggest wheat importer.

The army has recently lent the central bank $1 billion to help shore up its finances.

Inflation has reached 9.1%.

(Egypt's economic woes mount)

Expect more violence.

ISRAEL LOVES EGYPT'S ISLAMISTS

The old Egypt

Israel, the USA and NATO want Moslem countries to be backward, weak and divided.

Israel has always seen Egypt as its main Arab enemy.

Israel is now happy.

Egypt has now voted for the Islamists.


Cairo kids by Shek Graham

The Islamists will ensure that Egypt loses tourists and inward investment.

The Islamists will ensure that the country is deeply divided - Islamists against Christians, Islamists against the military, Islamists against liberals, Islamists against Islamists.

Reportedly, the Muslim Brotherhood is run by the CIA and its friends.

(The use of the Muslim Brotherhood by MI6 and the CIA.)

The Muslim Brotherhood was used to topple the Shah in order to try to keep Iran backward.

The new Egypt

On 10 December 2011, The Economist reports on the Islamists everywhere on the rise:

1. In the first round of voting in Egypt:

The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party has won 46% of the seats with 37% of the (party-list) vote.

The Salafist Party of Light, ('Nour' - puritanical extremist Wahhabi) has won 21% of the seats with 24% of the (party-list) vote.

The biggest secular (non religious) party got 10% of the seats.

Mubarak's party was banned.

The turnout was around 59%

'Islamists' work for the spooks

2. Why vote for the Muslim Brotherhood?

They give financial help to widows.

They supply water buffaloes on easy repayment plans to landless peasants.

3. Why vote for the Salafists?

They distribute cut-price food.

They appear on Saudi-funded satellite TV channels.

Some Mubarak supporters voted for the Salafists, to frustrate the Muslim Brotherhood.

A weakened Egypt now provides Israel with a chance to grab the Sinai. Syria had better look out.

4. The Muslim Brotherhood's 80-page manifesto mentions neither Israel nor Palestine.

5. The Salafists want a 'restricted' democracy.

They want to ban alcohol, adopt the veil and segregate the sexes in public.

MOSLEMS USED TO BREAK UP MOSLEM COUNTRIES

Brigadier Ali Khan, who has been arrested in Pakistan, due to his reported links to Hizb ut Tahrir, an organisation said to be working for the CIA and MI6.

The CIA and its friends reportedly use the organisation called Hizb ut Tahrir to break up Moslem countries, such as Libya and Pakistan.

Hizb ut Tahrir has links to the CIA's Operation Gladio and its Ergenekon operation in Turkey (Gladio-style terror in Istanbul, New York, Jakarta ...)

Hizb ut Tahrir has close links to the CIA's Muslim Brotherhood (Israel and the Pentagon.),which is now so powerful in Egypt and elsewhere.

Working for MI6?

On 22 June 2011 we learn that, in Pakistan, a top military man, Brigadier Ali Khan, has been arrested for having links with CIA-backed militants

A Pakistan military spokesman has said that brigadier Ali Khan is linked to Hizb ut Tahrir.

Talking to a private television channel, the spokesman said that Hizb ut Tahrir is linked to the United Kingdom.

In the Pakistan Observer, on 24 June 2011, an article entitled Hizb ut Tahrir and the MI6 connection tells us more:

Pakistan military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas says Ali Khan, and four others, were detained for questioning on their links with London-based Islamist party Hizb ut Tahrir (HuT).

HuT is an international political organisation which seeks the establishment of a global Islamic Caliphate.

HuT has close ties to MI6, according to certain analysts.

HuT is said to be part of the plot to destabilise Pakistan.

Former President Pervez Musharraf complained to the UK that HuT was involved in a campaign against the Pakistan military.



HuT has been active in the Middle East.

It has been part of the plot to overthrow Arab regimes.

In the Arab countries, it infiltrates the armed forces, and then tries to bring about military coups.

After the Abbottabad raid, HuT has been making use of Facebook, Twitter, posters and processions in order to stir things up in Pakistan.

From 1986 to 1996, under leadership of Syrian born Omar Bakri Muhammad, HuT grew from a very small organization in Britain to become one of the most active Islamic organization in Pakistan.

In 1996 Bakri moved to Al-Mujahajiroun.

Experts believe that HuT is used by MI6 as part of the Anglo-American strategy to contain the influence of the Russians and Chinese in the Central Asian Republics.

HuT is reportedly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood which has long been a front for the CIA and MI6.

The Muslim Brotherhood has been used by MI6 and CIA to weaken independent governments in the Middle East.

Presently, the HuT has been given the task of destabilizing Pakistan by targeting the armed forces.

MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND PORN

Arifinto, linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

On 11 April 2011, we learn that, in Indonesia, an anti-porn Member of Parliament has resigned.

He was caught watching porn during a parliamentary debate.

Indonesian MP resigns after being caught watching porn during parliament debate

Arifinto, a member of the Islamic Prosperous Justice Party, helped pass a tough anti-pornography law.

A photographer took pictures of Arifanto gazing at porn.

Most Indonesian Moslems are moderate and liberal.

But, reportedly, the Saudis have been pouring money into the CIA-linked extremists.

The extremists have pushed through several nut-case laws, including the pornography law.

Indonesians can be jailed for up to 15 years, or fined, for kissing in public, exposure of a woman's bits and pieces or displaying erotic art.

In January 2011, the anti-porn law was used to jail Nazril 'Ariel' Irham, lead singer of Indonesia's most popular band Peterpan, after two home-made sex tapes appeared on the internet.

Hidayat Nur Wahid, founder of Indonesian radical Islamic Prosperous Justice Party PKS (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)

When the CIA was trying to frustrate democracy in Central America, they used Moslem money, from the Saudis. (Cached)

In Indonesia, money from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf has been financing mosques and preachers demanding a 'purer' form of Islam. (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)

Beginning in the 1970s, "activists linked to the Saudi-sponsored Islamic World League began indoctrinating small groups at the prestigious Bandung Institute of Technology with Brotherhood materials". (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)

In 1998, there was the possibility that Indonesia would change its government and become a democracy like Malaysia, where there is no miserable poverty.

Unfortunately, Indonesia's American-trained military hijacked the 1998 protest movement.

The May 1998 riots which toppled Suharto were organised by the military; certain Chinese people were made the scapegoats for all of Indonesia's problems; most of the old elite, consisting of generals, Chinese-Indonesian businessmen, religious leaders and politicians, remained in power; certain factions within the elite lost out.

Now sections of the elite are using Islam to frustrate democracy.

Indonesia's Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) 'is Indonesia's version of the Muslim Brotherhood'. (Playing with Fire in Indonesia).

"According to CIA agent Miles Copeland... the CIA began to cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood... This signalled the beginning of an alliance between the traditional regimes and mass Islamic movements against Nasser and other secular forces." (aangirfan: The use of the Muslim Brotherhood by MI6 and the CIA in ...)

Why do some poor Indonesians vote for the PKS? They are fed up with "corruption, poor public services, poverty, and the perceived lack of real political choice." (Playing with Fire in Indonesia)

The PKS have been friends with Indonesia's president Yudhoyono, a former Suharto general.

Reportedly, the "founding manifesto" of the Justice Party that went on to become the PKS, called for the creation of an Islamic caliphate. (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)

According to Walter Lohman, "The Indonesian political elite... believe they can turn the PKS's success to their own advantage..." (Playing with Fire in Indonesia)

Why might the CIA be helping the PKS?

Walter Lohman (Playing with Fire in Indonesia) reminds us of "the threat of a burgeoning Chinese presence in Asia."

A Saudi-style Indonesia will have no love for China, and may side with the USA in countering it.

An independent-minded democratic Indonesia might not side with the USA.

CIA USING AL QAEDA TO TOPPLE ARAB LEADERS

It looks as if the CIA, and members of the wealthy Arab elite, are using al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood to topple Arab rulers who are out of favour.

On 1 March 2011, in New America Media, Yoichi Shimatsu wrote "Mideast Revolutions and 9-11 Intrigues Created in Qatar."

(Mideast Revolutions and 9-11 intrigues crafted in Qatar. - link from Brian)

According to this article:

The protestors in North Africa and the Middle East are being manipulated by the right-wing Arab elite.

This elite has been backing people like al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.

"Credible U.S. intelligence reports have cited evidence pointing to Qatar's long-running support for the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and jihadist fighters returning from Afghanistan."

In Libya, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), which is friends with Al Qaeda, has seized armouries containing high-power explosives, rocket launchers and chemical weapons.

Al Jazeera let slip that the earliest Libyan protests were organized by the LIFG.

150 of Gaddafi's soldiers were reportedly "gunned down by war-hardened returned militants from Iraq and Afghanistan...."

Qatar - home to al Qaeda

According to the 9/11 Commission Report, Qatar's Interior Minister provided a safe haven to 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed during the mid-1990s.

Press reports show other 'terrorists' may have received financial support or safe haven in Qatar after September 11, 2001.

The national security chief, Interior Minister Abdullah bin Khalid al-Thani, is mentioned as paying for a 1995 trip by Khalid Shaikh Mohammed ‘to join the Bosnia jihad.'



On 25 March 2011, at Global Research and at The Asia-Pacific Journal., Peter Dale Scott has an artcle entitled 'Who are the Libyan Freedom Fighters and Their Patrons?'

(Peter Dale Scott, former Canadian diplomat and Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, is the author of American War Machine: Deep Politics, the CIA Global Drug Connection and the Road to Afghanistan. His website is here.)

According to Peter Dale Scott:

1. Gaddafi has long faced threats to his life from Mossad, the Saudis, MI6, and various Libyan groups trained by the US and Israel.

2. Israel and the US have trained anti-Libyan rebels in a number of African countries, including Chad.

3. In 1985, the US asked Egypt to invade Libya and overthrow Gadafi but President Mubarak refused.

4. The FNSL (National Front for the Salvation of Libya) held its national congress in the USA in July 2007.

5. The LIFG (Libyan Islamic Fighting Group) was founded in 1995 by a group of mujahideen veterans who had fought in Afghanistan.

(Libyan rebel commander, Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, has admitted that his fighters have al-Qaeda links /Libyan “revolutionaries” aren’t so revolutionary.. )

Al Libi of al Qaeda

MI6 has been accused of supporting LIFG.

LIFG's Abdulwahab Mohammed Kayed is the brother of Abu Yahya Al Libi, one of al Qaeda's top propagandists.

LIFG's failed attempt to assassinate Qadhafi in February 1996 was said to have been financed by MI6.

According to one report, LIFG received up to $50,000 from al Qaeda's leader for each of its militants killed on the battlefield.

6. After the toppling of Mubarak, Egypt's military began shipping arms over the border to Libyan rebels.

There were hundreds of thousands of Egyptian labourers in Libya.

CIA SIDES WITH MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN EGYPT?

Website for this image

"An ex-CIA agent and counter-intelligence expert has revealed in a special report that Barack Obama has quietly appointed individuals who are friendly to radical Islam to key posts within the Administration." (Report - Obama quietly appoints Muslim Brotherhood to key posts.)

On 19 March 2011, Egyptians vote in a referendum on changes to the constitution.

On 17 March 2011, we read that, the constitutional changes will help the Muslim Brotherhood

According to the Financial Times: "The Muslim Brotherhood ... looks poised to emerge as the main beneficiary of new political arrangements to be put in place by Egypt's transitional military authorities."

Egypt's CIA-controlled generals seem to have decided to side with the CIA-controlled Muslim Brotherhood against the 'youth-led secular groups'.

"Some analysts and political activists said the Supreme Military Council ... may have decided that an alliance of conservative forces presents a better option for the future than that offered by the young secular groups." (the constitutional changes will help the Muslim Brotherhood)

Hossam Tammam, an analyst who specialises in Islamist groups, says "There are signs the military may have decided to bet on the Brotherhood as the biggest organised force on the street.

"The others (small parties and secular groups) may be seen by the army as representing an unwanted and radical transition to democracy." (the constitutional changes will help the Muslim Brotherhood)

The Muslim Brotherhood and Mubarak's National Democratic party "look set to dominate the next parliament." (the constitutional changes will help the Muslim Brotherhood)

The Brotherhood "is the only political group to have been represented on the panel of legal experts handpicked by the military that drafted the constitutional changes." (the constitutional changes will help the Muslim Brotherhood)

Eisenhower in the Oval Office with members of Muslim Brotherhood (What Is the Muslim Brotherhood, and Will It Take Over Egypt ...)

Remember Iran, and compare the Shah with Mubarak.

According to this article: "The British, the Middle East and Radical Islam - Red Moon Rising":

"Prior to the British-sponsored massive public relations campaign on behalf of the Ayatollah, the government of the Shah was loved by the vast majority of the population...

"The Shah began to push forward a number of nationalist policies that increased his popularity at home but, in some cases, worried the Anglo-American Establishment.

"First, he signed petroleum agreements with ENI, the Italian oil company.

"Then in 1963 he pushed forward on a series of popular reforms that became known as the White Revolution.

"The Shah evolved into a nationalist whose path paralleled that of Nasser far too much for the Establishment's liking:

"He bought land from the upper classes and, along with the crown's own land, sold it back cheaply to tenant farmers, allowing over one a half million people to become land owners and ending the old feudal system.

"He allowed women the right to vote, and brought an end to the wearing of the veil, which were 'Westernizing' moves unwelcomed by the religious sector.

"He pushed forward on a $90 billion nuclear power program.

"He moved to shut down the lucrative opium industry that had been created during the days of British Empire control that had been running for a hundred years.

"The attack on the Shah's government came through the Muslim Brotherhood and through the mullahs and ayatollahs of Iran, supported and manipulated by British Intelligence..."

Radio Free Iran reportedly claimed that while at Qom Khomeini received a "monthly stipend from the British, and he is in constant contact with his masters, the British."

It would seem that the US and NATO prefer Moslem governments to be fundamentalist because fundamentalists are easier to control.

TURKEY IMMUNE? USA BACKED BROTHERHOOD IN EGYPT

Istanbul by mandalaybus )

Is Turkey already part of the New World Order?

Is it therefore immune to the CIA coups that have hit North Africa?

The key groups in Turkey are:

(1) the generals

(2) the Fethullah Gulen movement.

(CIA CONTROL VIA FETHULLAH? / THE NEW WORLD ORDER AND TURKEY)

Both are said to be tools of the CIA.

Gulen in the USA.

In previous decades the CIA controlled Turkey by getting the Turkish generals to carry out false flag terrorism and coups. (KILLING KIDS ON A FIELD TRIP; ERGENEKON AND 9 11)

Now the CIA may be using the Moslem Gulen movement to control Turkey.


Turkey - © noborders )

On 11 March 2011, at Todays Zaman, we read about Journalism during the time of Ergenekon‎

Ergenekon is the name given to the gang which carried out acts of false flag terrorism in Turkey.

It is said to have been run by Turkish generals, the CIA, NATO, and Mossad; and it is said to have links to the heroin trade.

Nedim Şener and Ahmet Şık are award-winning journalists who helped expose the Ergenekon network and a coup plan.

They have been arrested.

It is claimed by the authorities that they were members of Ergenekon.

Some people think they were arrested because of the book they wrote containing allegations against the Gülen movement.

The Gülen movement has influence in the judiciary and police.

However, it is possible that the Ergenekon gang has got certain people to write books that will 'confuse people and damage the legitimacy of the Ergenekon case.'


TURKEY - © noborders )

Allegedly, Gulen has links to the Muslim Brotherhood.

In Egypt, the U.S. Secretly Backed the Brotherhood.

According to former editor of the Japan Times Weekly, Yochi Shimatsu, writing on 17 February 2011:

1. A leaked diplomatic cable shows the US State Department, over the past three years, had secret talks with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.

2. The December 2008 cable is entitled "Meeting and Regime Change in Egypt".

3. Half of the suspected 9/11 hijackers, including Atta, were Egyptians linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

4. At the first major Cairo protest on 25 January 2011, Jared Cohen, a former State Department staffer in charge of planning the Twitter revolution, was physically present with his proteges in the American-sponsored April 6 Youth Movement.

The April 6 Youth Movement is allied with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Cohen has links to Israel and the writings of Gene Sharp.

5. Former Cairo ambassador Frank Wisner Jr, an intelligence expert whose father organized Operation Gladio, landed in Egypt on 31 January.

Many thanks to BRIAN for the link.

CIA AND MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD VERSUS MUBARAK

In May 2009, Clinton meets "Egyptian activists", prior to meetings at the State Department in Washington.

On 6th February 2011, in the UK's Mail on Sunday, PETER HITCHENS tells us about Egypt, People Power...and the truth we dare not speak

Like Aangirfan, Peter Hitchens has witnessed alleged People Power.

People Power, if it is to be successful, always has to be organised by the spooks.

Among the points made by Peter Hitchens:

1. The liberation of Romania was followed by an era of renewed corruption and political squalor that has not come to an end and is not likely to.

2. I have seen it argued – credibly – that the joyous return of freedom to Prague was orchestrated by the KGB.

The Shah of Iran was toppled by the CIA and MI6?

Who does not like Mubarak?

On 9 January 2011, at American Chronicle, Ismail Imadudee asks if Israel is involved in a regional plot against Egypt.

Among the points made:

1. Egypt has tried hard to bring peace to the Middle East.

2. Israel has disrupted all of Egypt's efforts.

3. Israel has "continuously enjoyed embarrassing" Egypt.

4. Egypt's border with Gaza has been used by pro-Iran forces to enter Egypt and cause trouble.

5. The Gaza border situation has resulted in an aggressive media war which targets Egypt.

The CIA NATO broke up Yugoslavia. Now it is the turn of North Africa and the Middle east to suffer. Website for this image

Who is helping the CIA-Mossad-NATO to reorganise North Africa and the Middle East?

According to Professor Michel Chossudovsky (The Protest Movement in Egypt.):

"Egyptian dissidents and opponents of Hosni Mubarak were received in May 2008 by Condoleezza Rice at the State Department and the US Congress.

"They also met White House National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, who was 'the principal White House foreign policy adviser' during George W. Bush's second term."

(The Muslim Brotherhood was used by the CIA to topple the Shah.)

Michel Chossudovsky notes that:

"Britain's support of the Brotherhood instrumented through the British Secret Service dates back to the 1940s.

"Starting in the 1950s, according to former intelligence official William Baer, 'The CIA [funnelled] support to the Muslim Brotherhood because of the Brotherhood’s commendable capability to overthrow Nasser.'"

1954-1970: CIA and the Muslim Brotherhood Ally to Oppose Egyptian President Nasser.

"These covert links to the CIA were maintained in the post-Nasser era."

The CIA likes fascist fundamentalists rather than secular nationalists.

http://pennyforyourthoughts2.blogspot.com/ reports in some detail on US grants and the use of social media to foment "revolution in Egypt".

The USA has given lots of money to Egypt's 'activists'.

"For 2009 alone, the NED (CIA) gave grants totaling almost One Million, Four hundred thousand dollars, to numerous groups."

The CIA seems to like fascist fundamentalists?

On 5 February 2011, at the New York Review of Books, Ian Johnson has written about Washington's Secret History with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Among the points made:

1. "Since the 1950s, the United States has secretly struck up alliances with the Brotherhood or its offshoots...

2. "In 1953 ... a covert US propaganda program headed by the US Information Agency brought over three dozen Islamic scholars and civic leaders mostly from Muslim countries...

"The ultimate goal was to promote an anti-Communist agenda in these newly independent countries, many of which had Muslim majorities.

"One of the leaders ... was... Saeed Ramahdan (Said Ramadan)...

"Eisenhower officials ... figured that religion was a force that US could make use of...

"Central Intelligence Agency analyses of Said Ramadan were quite blunt, calling him a ... 'fascist'.

3. "By the end of the decade, the CIA was overtly backing Ramadan...

"In the 1950s and 1960s the United States supported him as he took over a mosque in Munich...

"In later years, he supported the Iranian revolution..."

4. The CIA "with the start of the Soviet war in Afghanistan" backed the mujahedeen - "some of whom morphed into al-Qaeda ... but Washington continued to flirt with Islamists, and especially the Brotherhood."

Cairo kids by Shek Graham

5. "The Bush administration devised a strategy to establish close relations with Muslim groups in Europe that were ideologically close to the Brotherhood...

"In 2005, the State Department launched an effort to woo the Brotherhood. In 2006, for example, it organized a conference in Brussels between these European Muslim Brothers and American Muslims, such as the Islamic Society of North America, who are considered close to the Brotherhood...

"The CIA pushed for cooperation...

6. "The Brotherhood has managed to voice the aspirations of the Muslim world’s downtrodden and often confused middle class.

"It explained their backwardness in an interesting mixture of fundamentalism and fascism...

"It has ... given birth to many of the more violent strains of radical Islamism, from Hamas to al-Qaeda...

7. "In Egypt, the Brotherhood ... says it wants religious courts to enforce shariah...

8. "The group’s most powerful cleric, the Qatar-based Youssef Qaradawi ... advocates the stoning of homosexuals and the murder of Israeli children - because they will grow up and could serve as soldiers.

"Qaradawi ... has often been mentioned as a candidate to be the Egyptian branch’s top leader.

"He is very likely the most influential cleric in the Muslim world - on Friday, for example, thousands of Egyptian protesters in Tahrir Square listened to a broadcast of his sermon..."

TUNISIA, MASKED SPECIAL FORCES & THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

Gen. William E. Ward, commander of U.S. Africa Command, is greeted by Tunisian military leaders at Tunis-Carthage International Airport.

Think of Blackwater/Xe, Triple Canopy, Dyncorps, Aegis...

Think of moving Tunisia out of the orbit of France and China and into the orbit of America-Israel?

Think of regime change in Tunisia being followed by regime change in OIL-RICH Algeria and Libya.

Think of the CIA's links to the Muslim Brotherhood. (THE CIA'S MOSLEM FRIENDS, FROM BIN LADEN TO THE MOSLEM BROTHERHOOD.)

According to a comment on the Guardian website (Cached):

"You can see who is directing the protests right here, on Ikhwanweb.

"Ikhwan is the Muslim Brotherhood.

"The MB is the Wahhabi jihad outfit run by Saudi Arabia.

"Saudi Arabia is the USA's jihad-exporting ally.

"Jihad is the excuse the USA needs to occupy more oil-rich Muslim states and expand its global-cop-on-the-make racket."



According to Aljazeera (Looters roam suburbs of Tunis)

People in Tunis have reported groups "prowling through neighbourhoods setting fire to buildings and attacking people and property."

Witnesses have spoken to Al Jazeera about "masked special forces" and "foreign militias."

In an interview with Al Jazeera, caretaker president Mohamed Ghannouchi said that "Gangs are indulging in looting, wreaking havoc and destruction and spreading fear among citizens."

In working-class suburbs of Tunis, hundreds of residents lined the streets with metal bars and knives trying to ward off looters.


'Ben Ali, former Tunisian president who predicted Muslim Brotherhood takeover'

What was happening in Tunisia under Ben Ali?

"Substandard houses were eradicated and decent houses, provided with drinking water, electricity, solar energy…

"Roads were built, too to facilitate access to the amenities.

"Schools were built near these scattered and small communities to allow especially girls to be educated." (Cached)

Tunisia, under Ben Ali, was prosperous. Tunisia boasts a GDP per capita of roughly $8,000, among the highest in Africa, and education levels that outrank much of the developing world.

Meanwhile, the CIA seems to be working with the Muslim Brotherhood.

According to Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld (The Muslim Brotherhood Path to Victory: Part One (of Three ...)

Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf Qaradawi, and Malaysian opposition leader and Muslim Brotherhood supporter Anwar Ibrahim, appear to have friends in the West.

Both share ties to Oxford University.

Qaradawi is a trustee of the university’s Center for Islamic Studies, while Anwar was a lecturer at Oxford’s St. Antony’s College.

"Another Western media darling, Tariq Ramadan, who is prominent advocate of the Muslim Brotherhood agenda, found a permanent house at Oxford’s St. Antony’s College.

"Ramadan, Hassan al Banna’s grandson, was banned from entering the U.S. until January 19, 2010, when U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, issued an executive order allowing his entry to the country.

"Clinton who pressured the Malaysian government on behalf of Anwar, considers him a reformer and an exemplary moderate Muslim.

"One can only wonder why despite the readily available damning information and renewed attention on the MB and its affiliated groups the U.S. as its allies are laying the welcoming carpet to some of the most effective MB actors."

Consider a country that "offers other developing nations a tantalizing example of how to overhaul their economies by pushing education, business-friendly policies..." (Prosperity - TIME)

In the capital, "there are now entire new districts of office buildings, with signs announcing the recent arrival of multinationals" like Ericsson and Siemens.

In a Global Competitiveness Report, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum cited this country's low corruption, stable government and educated population.

French carmaker Peugeot recognized these advantages when it recently opted to move its customer-service call center from Lyons to this country.

About 80% of this country's population own their homes.

School is compulsory — and free.

About 34% of high school graduates go to university. (Prosperity - TIME)

General William E. Ward, commander of U.S. Africa Command, in Tunisia, 1 June 2010.

The country referred to above is Tunisia, and there is a problem.

The volume of trade between Tunisia and the United States is very small. (TUNISIA-USA: LIMITED TRADE.)

The USA wants a change of leadership in Tunisia so that more American companies, rather than European companies, can move in.

AND, Tunisia is a moderate Moslem country.

The influential pro-Israel elite in the USA are not fond of Moslems.

AND, Israel would like to paint all Moslems as being poor and useless.

So, how might the CIA and Mossad shake things up in Tunisia?

Tunisian intelligence officers provide "intense cooperation" with CIA and FBI agents, said Tahar Fellous Refaï, director general of external relations and international cooperation at Tunisia's Ministry of the Interior. (Tunisia: The Price of Prosperity - TIME)

The recent shootings in Tunisia may have been organised to help the CIA.

Tunis

SO, President Ben Ali has been forced out. What will happen next?

1. "Even strict secularist laws might not shield Tunisia from growing Muslim fervor in the region." (Tunisia: The Price of Prosperity - TIME)

The CIA and Mossad will be happy to see its friend Saudi Arabia spread Wahabism throughout Tunisia.

Fundamentalist Moslems are easier to control and exploit.

2. Investment by European countries will drop.

3. Tourism from Europe will decline.

4. Poverty and unemployment will increase.

5. The new leadership will award its friends with contracts.

6. Tunisia will be more of a slave to Globalisation.

7. Tunisia will be expected to serve the military interests of the USA.

On 14 January 2011, Mohamed Ghannouchi (above) became acting president of Tunisia.

He has in the past had dealings with the IMF and World Bank.

Rachid al Ghannouchi of the Muslim Brotherhood

When the CIA toppled the Shah, it used its friends in the Muslim Brotherhood.

In Tunisia, Rachid al-Ghannouchi's Harakat al-Nahdha (Renaissance Movement) is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Rachid al-Ghannouchi "remains committed to greater jihad" against Ben Ali. (Cached)~~

According to Stewart Copeland, the CIA's Miles Copeland helped Egypt's Nasser to organize a secret service.



Miles Copeland's office was next door to Nasser's and they became very close friends.



(.Stewart copeland Inside Out - Kollected Works.)



Reportedly, Nasser was put into power in Egypt by the CIA.

FAROUK



Reportedly, Britain's friend King Farouk was chucked out by the CIA in 1952.

Kermit Roosevelt of the CIA



Reportedly, Kim Roosevelt, who was head of CIA operations in the Middle East, had a series of meetings with Nasser before the coup.



Nasser appeared to be anti-American.



However, reportedly, it was the CIA that helped Nasser with his anti-American propaganda.



(LOL. Think of Iran's leaders, who were reportedly put into power by the CIA.)



Reportedly, the CIA sent Paul Linebarger to Egypt to organise Radio Cairo's anti-American propaganda.



Reportedly, Linebarger helped devise news stories and editorials which appeared to be pro-Soviet but which in fact made the Soviets look stupid.



US Secretary of State Dulles, and the CIA, reportedly, were fans of Nasser.

'CIA agent' Nasser





What about the US withdrawal of a loan to finance the Aswan Dam?

This led to Nasser nationalising the Suez Canal Company and led to Anglo-French-Israeli forces attacking Egypt.

This led to Eisenhower supporting Nasser, and a defeat for Britain.



Allegedly, CIA agent Nasser undermined Britain's position in the region, thus making the USA more influential. (the CIA operative,Gamal Abdel Nasser..s)

(Reportedly, MI6 had little clue about what was going on.)



What about the Muslim Brotherhood, which is supposed to be a CIA front, and which was in opposition to Nasser?



The Muslim Brotherhood was used to keep Nasser from becoming too independent minded.



Reportedly, by 1954, Nasser's nationalism had upset both the USA and the UK.

"According to CIA agent Miles Copeland... the CIA began to cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood...



"In June of 1955, MI6 was already approaching the Brotherhood in Syria to agitate against the new government that showed strong left-wing tendencies and a desire to merge with Egypt.



"The Brotherhood became an even more important asset after Nasser announced the Egyptian takeover of the Suez Canal...



"Israel began to fund the Muslim Brotherhood..." (Source: http://www.redmoonrising.com/Ikhwan/BritIslam.htm)



At historycommons.org (Gamal Abddul Nasser) we read that :



MI6 and the CIA jointly hatched plans to assassinate Nasser.



"According to Miles Copeland, a CIA operative based in Egypt, the opposition to Nasser is driven by the commercial community—the oil companies and the banks.



"At the same time, the Muslim Brotherhood’s resentment of Nasser’s secular government also comes to a head.



"In one incident, Islamist militants attack pro-Nasser students at Cairo University. Following an attempt on his own life by the Brotherhood, Nasser responds immediately by outlawing the group, which he denounces as a tool of Britain.



"The following years see a long and complex struggle pitting Nasser against the Muslim Brotherhood, the US, and Britain.



"The CIA funnels support to the Muslim Brotherhood because of “the Brotherhood’s commendable capability to overthrow Nasser.” [Baer, 2003, pp. 99; Dreyfuss, 2005, pp. 101-108]



"The Islamist regime in Saudi Arabia becomes an ally of the United States in the conflict with Nasser. They offer financial backing and sanctuary to Muslim Brotherhood militants during Nasser’s crackdown. Nasser dies of natural causes in 1970. [Dreyfuss, 2005, pp. 90-91, 126-131, 150]"





BRITAIN TRIED TO HELP ISRAEL STEAL TERRITORY

Egypt, Gaza and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Mubarak of Egypt.

There is a suspicion that the Muslim Brotherhood, and its offshoots such as Hamas and Hezbollah, work to the advantage of Israel and its friends.

It has been reported that the CIA and MI6 have used the Muslim Brotherhood to weaken countries such as Egypt, Syria, and Iran. (aangirfan: The Shah of Iran was toppled by the CIA and MI6?)

Abdel-Moneim Said, on 12 February 2009, at Al-Ahram Weekly, wrote Illusions of the phoenix.

He argues that throughout the recent crisis in Gaza, the Muslim Brotherhood "failed to pay even lip service to Egyptian national interests."

Among the points made:

1. Egypt tried to maintain the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Egypt warned Hamas not to resume the firing of missiles.

Hamas wrongly believed that any invasion would last no more than 3 days.

2. There has been a well orchestrated propaganda campaign against Egypt.

It began when the Iranian "masses" attacked the Egyptian Embassy in Tehran.

Anti-Egyptian slogans were shouted in Damascus, Beirut and other capitals.

3. The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza is of key importance.

"Egypt sustained the movement of food and medicine across that border, sometimes with Israel's cooperation but more often in defiance of Israel.

"Yet Hamas kept up its attack on Egypt.

"It staged a mass breakthrough into Egyptian territory, it boycotted the signing of a reconciliation agreement with Fatah and then started a war that could not have been more poorly planned and timed, coming when the Palestinian rift was at its most fraught."

4. During the Israeli attack, Egypt was the only country to:

1. actively campaign for a ceasefire.

2. furnish aid to the Palestinians.

3. push for the passage and subsequent implementation of a Security Council resolution and ceasefire.

4. prepare for the reconstruction of Gaza.

"Other Arab and Muslim governments did nothing beyond staging demonstrations and issuing anti-Egyptian statements."

5. How did the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood react to all this?

They joined anti-Egyptian demonstrators.

The Brotherhood did not call upon Tehran to launch any of its long-range missiles during the battle.

Nor did it urge Syria or Hizbullah to open a second front, even though portions of their territory remain occupied.

Nor did it suggest that Turkey sever diplomatic relations with Israel and stop sending it spare parts for its war planes.
