FLASHBACK: Ex-FBI Agent Claims Ex-CIA Chief John Brennan Converted To Islam In Saudi Arabia

There is a correlating theory that Muslim Brotherhooders in the Obama regime took down CIA chief Petraeus in order to replace him with Muslim Brennan.

Excerpted from The Daily Mail: The incoming head of the CIA converted to Islam while working as a station chief in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s, a former FBI agent has claimed.

John Guandolo, who retired from the FBI in 2008, said in a radio interview that John Brennan – who has been nominated by Barack Obama as the new director of the CIA – visited the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina accompanied by Saudi officials who may have persuaded him to convert.

Mr Guandolo’s tale echoes elements of the plot of hit show Homeland, in which U.S. Marine Nick Brody converts to Islam while being held prisoner by al-Qaeda, only to begin working for the CIA after his release.

Mr Guandolo told the Trento Radio Show via Skype that Mr Brennan visited the holy sites during the Hajj season – in sees hundreds of thousands of Muslims converge on the cities to perform a series of rituals – while serving as CIA station chief in Riyadh between 1996 and 1999, a report on Al Arabiya News said.

Non-Muslims are prohibited from entering Mecca, and are not permitted to enter the city centre, or sacred core, of Medina.

The ex-FBI agent told the radio station Mr Brennan was ‘unfit’ to take charge of the CIA, and claimed U.S. government officials based in Saudi Arabia during that period ‘were direct witnesses to his growing relationships with individuals who work with the Saudi government and they witnessed his conversion to Islam’.

Mr Brennan, 57, has spent more than three decades working in intelligence.

He was nominated as the new head of the CIA on January 7 by President Obama, after predecessor General David Petraeus was forced to resign amid a scandal surrounding an affair with his biographer. Keep reading

Stories coraborate, not correlate. The first supports the initial story. The latter moves in retaltionship to...which in the context makes no sense.

Brennan’s swearing in ceremony was incredibly disrespectful and confusing.. ALLEGEDLY, he used the Constitution but no Bill of Rights whatsoever.

What a pig— in need of dental hygiene, too.

The “last word” on the truth— researched how? And with what restrictions on anyone else doing good research are not restricted?

Then there is “Roger” ...

At CIA, a convert to Islam leads the terrorism hunt

March 24, 2012

EXCERPT

When his own career began in 1979, at the CIA’s southern Virginia training facility, known as The Farm, Roger showed little of what he would become. A training classmate recalled him as an underperformer who was pulled aside by instructors and admonished to improve.

“Folks on the staff tended to be a little down on him,” the former classmate said. He was “kind of a pudgy guy. He was getting very middling grades on his written work. If anything, he seemed to be almost a little beaten down.”

His first overseas assignments were in Africa, where the combination of dysfunctional governments, bloody tribal warfare and minimal interference from headquarters provided experience that would prove particularly useful in the post-Sept. 11 world. Many of the agency’s most accomplished counterterrorism operatives, including Black and Richard Blee, cut their teeth in Africa as well.

“It’s chaotic, and it requires you to understand that and deal with it psychologically,” said a former Africa colleague. Roger developed an “enormous amount of expertise in insurgencies, tribal politics, warfare — writing hundreds of intelligence reports.”

He also married a Muslim woman he met abroad, prompting his conversion to Islam. Colleagues said he doesn’t shy away from mentioning his religion but is not demonstrably observant. There is no prayer rug in his office, officials said, although he is known to clutch a strand of prayer beads.

Roger was not part of the first wave of CIA operatives deployed after the Sept. 11 attacks, and he never served in any of the agency’s “black sites,” where al-Qaeda prisoners were held and subjected to harsh interrogation techniques.

But in subsequent years, he was given a series of high-profile assignments, including chief of operations for the CTC, chief of station in Cairo, and the top agency post in Baghdad at the height of the Iraq war.

Along the way, he has clashed with high-ranking figures, including David H. Petraeus, the U.S. military commander in Iraq and Afghanistan, who at times objected to the CIA’s more pessimistic assessments of those wars. Former CIA officials said the two had to patch over their differences when Petraeus became CIA director.

Maggie, thanks for the info on “Roger”,

That he was converted THEN was Cairo station chief and top c i a dog in Iraq bothers me a LOT.

Wonder what he and Petraeus argued about?

Ping to the vids in this post; RaceBannon, many thanks for posting the links!

“Wonder what he and Petraeus argued about?”

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2276139/David-Petraeus-CIA-directors-bodyguards-exposed-affair-Paula-Broadwell-claims-Benghazi-The-Definitive-Report.html#ixzz3VCtdYA6r

David Petraeus was brought down after betrayal by vengeful CIA agents and his own bodyguards who made sure his affair was exposed, claims new book

Brandon Webb, a former Navy SEAL, and Jack Murphy, a former Green Beret, reveal the new claims in their book ‘Benghazi: The Definitive Report’

Petraeus was humiliated after a ‘palace coup’ by high-level intelligence officers who did not like the way he was running the CIA, authors say

The book also claims that Petraeus and Ambassador Chris Stevens were caught off guard by Benghazi consulate attack because they weren’t briefed about on-going U.S. military operations in Libya

Webb and Murphy say Benghazi attack was a retaliation for secret raids authorized by Obama security adviser John Brennan

Thanks for the links. I often listen to interviews and sessions like this when I’m out hiking on weekends or commuting.

Tip: I use the “MediaHuman” YouTube to MP3 utility on my Mac to strip out the video and download an audio-only file. That way I can add the audio files to iTunes in a new Playlist. Makes it easy to find the content to play.

Snopes is a Leftist website run by Leftist activists who use their street cred among college hipsters to boost the Leftist agenda.

They actually tried to debunk the Clinton Body Count and substituted the “Bush Body Count” in its place.

Their backing from Leftist groups has been documented on FR and elsewhere, just to keep them afloat.

Do NOT give them the Web hit they so despreately need.
