Egyptian Official ties Obama’s Brother to Brotherhood
Hope they stop off to testify before congress on their way in to work!
Was someone suing and they were concerned what discovery would expose? Kerry’s got his tit in a wringer! Or maybe his nose!

Saudis Warn the West: We Won’t Forget Your Stance on Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood
CNS News ^ | 8/20/2013 | Patrick Goodenough
(CNSNews.com) – In a blunt warning to countries critical of the Egyptian military crackdown and considering suspending aid, longstanding U.S. ally Saudi Arabia suggested that the decisions they make now will have long-term consequences for their relationships in the Arab and Muslim world. Saudi Arabia has led the way in supporting the Egyptian military’s actions, first in removing the Muslim Brotherhood administration early last month and in its subsequent steps against supporters of the ousted Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi. Its warning came as policymakers in the U.S. and Europe mull the question of continuing financial assistance to Cairo following the violence in recent days, in which more than 1,000 people have been killed in clashes between security forces and Morsi supporters. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal issued a lengthy statement Monday defending the military’s actions and informing countries that have threatened to withdraw aid that Arab and Muslim countries “will not hesitate to help Egypt.”

Turkey Accuses Egypt of Massacre, Egypt Responds by Endorsing Armenian Genocide Declaration

I’m reading this with my jaw dropped.
Is this information true? If it is as she states, it sends a chill down my spine!

Russia condemns ‘provocative’ terror attack in Sinai
The Russian Foreign Ministry has condemned the killing of 24 Egyptian policemen in an attack on Monday near Rafah in Sinai and described it as a ‘provocative terrorist act’. The attack came at a moment when Egyptian authorities are continuing their efforts to secure the region and neutralize terrorist and criminal groups there, the ministry said in a statement on its website on Tuesday. The ministry also reiterated its recommendation to Russian tourists in Egypt to refrain from frequenting unguarded places.
Egyptian PM: “Don't forget the Egyptian people went with Russian military aid for decades so there are ways that someone can survive.” (3/3)
Erdorgan wants attention taken off the protests against his administration....so blaming Israel would take the focus off him.
Note he had no specifics of his proof.
Egypts response to Endorgan is that they would sign (backthread) document accusing Erdorgan of crimes against humanity circulating .. eventual in the Hague if it goes that far..
“I’m reading this with my jaw dropped.

Yep, but sends millions of bucks into accounts for retirement. Maybe in Qatar!
Does anyone wonder why we’re having a war on Egypt and want to save the MB so badly?
Agenda...check
Personal bribe...check...with a personal check!
But this is not what I’ll talk about today.
Later...
TRAVEL WARNINGS TO ISRAEL:

.... timed to coincide with the forthcoming Rosh Hashana (New Year), Yom Kippur and Succot festivals, and anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the US was likely to be “a favored period” for al-Qaeda and other global jihadist groups to attempt to carry out acts of terrorism.
The following affected by this warning to Israel’s:
....the bureau reconfirmed that Israelis are barred altogether from travel to Iran,... Lebanon,... Syria,... Iraq,... Saudi Arabia... and Yemen,... where the “concrete” terror threat was “very high.”
In addition, it ordered Israelis not to travel to Sudan,... Somalia,... Algeria, ....Djibouti,... Mauritania,.... Libya... and Tunisia,.... ‘to leave’ these
countries immediately because of a similarly “very high” terror threat.
Also.... to “avoid visiting” United Arab Emirates,.... Bahrain,.... Jordan,.... Kuwait, ....Egypt... and Qatar,... where it cited what it called a “basic” terrorist threat.
further....to ‘postpone nonessential visits’.... to Turkey,... Oman... and Morocco,.... because of “ongoing potential threats.”

India’s Kashmir province, ...northern Nigeria,... parts of Kenya,... and Chechnya....... Israel were ‘not to travel to any of those areas’, and ‘to leave immediately’ if they were there, it ordered.

“Iron Man”
Mahmoud Ezzat
Born: August 13, 1944
Position: Deputy supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood
Education: Doctorate in medicine from Zagazig University (1985), master’s degree in medicine (1980), B.S. in medicine (1975), diploma from Institute of Islamic Studies (1998)
Occupation: Doctor
After becoming acquainted with the Brotherhood as a boy, Ezzat began studying with the group in 1962. He was imprisoned along with Supreme Guide Muhammad Badie from 1965 to 1974 and has been a member of the MB Guidance Office since 1981. He is married to the daughter of former supreme guide Mahdi Akef.
Along with Khairat al-Shater and Hassan Malek, Ezzat was detained under suspicion in the Salsabil case from 1992 to 1993 (see Malek’s entry for more on Salsabil). In 1995, he was imprisoned for being a leader of an illegal organization. He was jailed again in January 2008, this time for participating in Cairo demonstrations against Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip. He is currently a professor in Zagazig University’s College of Medicine, where his colleagues have included President Morsi and fellow Guidance Office member Mahmoud Ghozlan. He is also vice president of the Islamic Medical Association.
In the media, Ezzat has been personified as the Brotherhood’s “iron man,” embodying its reputation for top-down decisionmaking. He is considered close to deputy supreme guide Shater and is a key figure in coordinating policy decisions between the Guidance Office and the Freedom and Justice Party.

EGYPT: WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT
Apr 21st, 2011
This week, Mahmoud Ezzat, the Muslim Brotherhood’s deputy Supreme Guide, told a forum in Cairo that the group wants to establish an Islamic state in Egypt. This comes just two months after President Obama’s National Intelligence Director James Clapper told Congress that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was a “secular” organization.
February 10: Obama administration says Muslim Brotherhood doesn’t want an Islamic state in Egypt.
April 17: Muslim Brotherhood says, “We want an Islamic state in Egypt.”
April 19, 2011
The Daily Caller reminds us of Clapper’s remarkable ignorance back in February:
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said at a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Thursday that Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood is a secular organization.
Clapper said the Egyptian opposition group, which many American commentators have expressed fears of coming to power in a post-Mubarak Egypt, is a “very heterogeneous group, largely secular.”
Clapper said that the group “has eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam” and “have pursued social ends, a betterment of the political order in Egypt.”
He also said the the Muslim Brotherhood, which has branches in many Muslim countries, has “no overarching agenda, particularly in pursuit of violence, at least internationally.”
The enemy is in the building!

Cur view soon now in Egypt....
We need to look into ‘Shoebot’ Mel....is he ligit source?... Former MB I understand but not sure why he left.
I have heard some conflicting opinions about him the little I’ve looked at him.....but then its said about most these days.
We posts RT articles, though with one eye open...they play either side that will get them the best story it seems. MB’s like RT.
I just don’t know about Shoebot if or not he has his own agenda in what he writes....sometimes seems to lean like INfo-War guy.
I’ll try to take some time to look further too.
Shoebat is reporting firsthand quotes and video from an Egyptian official. Admittedly, it is all in Arabic, but in that particular article, the relevance is that it is the official who is making those declarations, NOT Shoebat.
I seriously doubt Shoebat would deliberately mistranslate her statements at the same time he supplies the video for anyone who speaks Arabic to verify his translation. Of couse I can’t verify bec I don’t speak/read Arabic.
Jebali also said she has the documents to prove it, and plans to release them.
Is she nuts? Is she working with the interim govt/Al Sisi on this? Are the statements/info intended to be used as a bargaining chip/threat?
This is news alright.
