US criticizes arrest of Brotherhood leader in Egypt

AFP, Tuesday 20 Aug 2013

The United States on Tuesday criticized the arrest of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie in Egypt.

The White House said the move ran contrary to the military’s commitments to foster an “inclusive political process.”

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the arrest was the “latest in a series of actions that the Egyptian government has taken that does not reflect their commitment to an inclusive political process.”

“It certainly is an act that is contrary to a legal system that is insulated from politics,” he said.

I forgot to mention in my previous post that aside from the slim possibility that Jebali is nuts is the possibility that she is lying-— also, IMO, a slim possibility.

What I find astonishing is that the story hasn’t been picked up anywhere (except by Egypt papers)-—not even as a thread on FR.

“simply “political” warfare verbaige”

We only know about THAT “verbiage” because it is blasted in papers round the world -— otherwise, it would never have its intended effect.. THIS story hasn’t been picked up by ANY English-language paper.

[caww]

Barack and his brother are very close. Each was the best man at the other’s wedding and Malik has made 'multiple visits'..... to the White House,

Take note that Malik Obama’s boss – 'Suar Al Dahab' – (pictured below)....is expressing solidarity with both a guy who heads an organization the U.S. State Department has identified as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (Hamas) and another guy (Qaradawi) who thinks Hitler didn’t finish the job when it came to the Jews.

'Muslim Brotherhood '..... Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, .......'Hamas' ..... Ismail Haniyeh, ....... and the man ON THE FAR RIGHT...... IDO Chairman Suar Al Dahab..(.....Malik Obama's boss......meeting in Gaza

[caww]

The snake has a new head!

Ezzat has nothing to loose....he’ll be looking to have a name for himself in History now, as he’s old....

He comes across even darker than Badie, who is more than bad.......I do think he may be the cream at the top it would appear. We shall surely see....

[caww]

....”THIS story hasn’t been picked up by ANY English-language paper.”.......

Probably won’t be made ‘big news’ even if spoken of.......what news agency would?... considering the black out on anything which shows OBOZO for what he is.....further this is moving into MB news they don’t want....they’ll be quick to shut it down as well...even with threat I imagine.

And of course it’ll be added to just another “scandal” in the list the administration fluffs off as just that.

But we will have it here...go FR!

Obama gambled on Kerry, ElBaradei partnership and lost America’s credibility

By Richard Grenell
Published August 19, 2013

EXCERPT

Yet Obama trusted the long-time friendship of Kerry and ElBaradei. Then-Sen. Kerry and ElBaradei spent years discussing how best to block the George W. Bush administration’s policies on Iraq, Iran and North Korea during ElBaradei’s tenure at the IAEA. ElBaradei even helped former Sen. Kerry during his failed 2004 presidential campaign against then-President Bush by publicly confronting the U.S. president on several foreign policy fronts from his UN seat. Shockingly, on Oct. 25, 2004, just days before the U.S. presidential election between Kerry and Bush, ElBaradei was accused of trying to influence the U.S. elections in favor of his friend John Kerry by releasing a UN report on missing weapons in Iraq, a report ElBaradei held for weeks.

The two former failed presidential candidates thought they were finally leading the countries they love this week. For a few days, it must have felt like old times for the diplomats as they sat scheming Egypt’s future together. It’s just too bad that President Obama allowed Kerry and ElBaradei another shot at what was clearly a diplomatic waste of time.

Would he then allow the Klan ‘visibly’ “inclusive” in our governance? What an idiot!

[caww]

I don’t believe they’re having all these meetings about aid to Egypt at all.....they know exactly what they are doing and going to do....it’s just media feed.

Soros’ partner favored as Egypt’s interim prez
Billionaire’s ‘crisis’ group has deep ties to Middle East revolutions

Published: 07/04/2013

ERUSALEM — Mohamed ElBaradei, the favored candidate to head a transitional government in Egypt, was a longtime member of a George Soros-funded “crisis” group with deep ties to the Middle East revolutions.

Soros himself is one of eight members of the executive committee of the International Crisis Group, or ICG.

(snip)

ElBaradei was also a longtime member of the ICG board alongside Soros.

U.S. board members of the ICG include Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was national security adviser to Jimmy Carter; Samuel Berger, Bill Clinton’s national security adviser; and retired U.S. ambassador Thomas Pickering, who made headlines in 2009 after meeting with Hamas leaders and calling for the U.S. to open ties to the Islamic group.

Pickering was the State Department’s lead investigator into the Sept. 11, 2012, attack against the U.S. facilities in Benghazi following the ouster of Libya’s leader, Muammar Gadhafi.

Another ICG member is Robert Malley, a former adviser to Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign who resigned after it was exposed he had communicated with Hamas.

Elbaradei is ‘out for rent’ for whoever wants to use him.....the guy has been looking for someone to love him for years and never gets the appreciation he seeks. So he fills one position after another...and when he gets serious about running for offices he always looses.

He’s a “Political playboy” with any who pays the highest dollar...and so they play him well.

[maggief]

I cannot disagree. Wonder where Obama will be... golfing with the former NFL players?

(Reuters) - The United States condemned comments by Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan accusing Israel of having a hand in the Egyptian military’s overthrow of president Mohamed Mursi, a White House spokesman said on Tuesday.

“We strongly condemn the statements that were made by Prime Minister Erdogan today. Suggesting that Israel is somehow responsible for recent events in Egypt is offensive, unsubstantiated, and wrong,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters in a briefing.

Exclusive: Courier Led U.S. to Al Qaeda Internet Conference
The Daily Beast ^ | August 20, 2013 | Eli Lake, Josh Rogin

Prior to the worldwide security alert that temporarily shuttered U.S. embassies throughout the Middle East earlier this month, authorities captured an al Qaeda courier who had in his possession a recording of a seven-hour Internet-hosted meeting between more than 20 senior al Qaeda leaders from around the globe, U.S. intelligence officials said.

snip

The Daily Beast has learned new details about the conference, including that it was conducted over a secure Internet messaging system and that U.S. and Yemeni officials learned about it after intercepting the communications of an al Qaeda courier, who was subsequently captured by Yemen’s National Security Bureau with help from the CIA.

snip

The recording begins with a video address from Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of al Qaeda’s network. His participation surprised U.S. intelligence analysts, who believed the al Qaeda leader wouldn’t risk being part of real-time communication.

Well..well...well...I remember the threads back during the Kerry/ Bush election and we thought that El Baradei was scheming with the dems to bring Bush down and back stab our efforts in Iraq and elsewhere. Now years later, they admit it without the slightest bit of irony.

I hate democrats!

[hoosiermama]

We need to get the message out.

[penelopesire]

I put it out on my twitter fed to 3500 folks. Hopefully it will get a few retweets.

[melancholy]

I’m answering this ASAP because I want to check a write-up before posting,

I checked the videos. #1 and #2 are correct. This woman is a judge and her title is: Chancellor of The Constitutional Court, the previous chief judge is now the temporary Egyptian president, Adly Mansour.

Couldn’t open videos #3 and #4.

Whatever she talks about MUST BE TRUE. She mentioned Egyptian Intelligence Files on the countries who supported the MB regime and Morsi and she’s threatening to expose foreign intelligence agencies of France, UK, Germany and the USA collaboration, assistance and financing the MB international.

Shoebots statements and translations are true.

Do I trust him? Why not, he was a Palestinian terrorist, the son of a Hamas big wig who escaped to the USA and converted to Christianity.

Well, he’s making a living by exposing murderous Islamists. I don’t see why would he screw that up by lying in the digital age.

Just my opinion.

A memo posted on the Facebook page of a local office of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party obtained by the Investigative Project on Terrorism shows a clear call to incitement against Egypt’s Coptic Christian population, giving its blessing to the burning of churches.

Over 40 Coptic churches have been burned by Muslim Brotherhood supporters since the Egyptian police cleared demonstrators protesting the overthrow of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi on Tuesday. Brotherhood supporters also reportedly blocked the road between Cairo and Aswan in southern Egypt looking for Copts, taking seven Copts hostage Thursday. They were later released after a ransom of 150,000 Egyptian pounds, roughly $21,500, was paid.
Muslim Brotherhood rioters who torched St. George Cathdral in Sohag were heard screaming “Allahu Akbar!” as they carried out their deed.
Coptic leaders say the Muslim Brotherhood’s violent onslaught against Christians has been unprecedented.
“It never happened before in history that such a big number of churches were attacked on one day,” Bishop Thomas, a Coptic Orthodox bishop in Assiut told Al Jazeera. “We normally used to have attacks once a month or so.”
