Egypt protests: America's secret backing for rebel leaders behind uprising
The Daily Telegraph ^ | 9:23PM GMT 28 Jan 2011 | Tim Ross, Matthew Moore and Steven Swinford

Posted on 02/09/2011 8:29:34 PM PST by Candor7

The American government secretly backed leading figures behind the Egyptian uprising who have been planning “regime change” for the past three years, The Daily Telegraph has learned.

The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police.

On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011.

The secret document in full

He has already been arrested by Egyptian security in connection with the demonstrations and his identity is being protected by The Daily Telegraph.

Now we see that Obama wants the USA to be an Obanana Republic, where its president can have hissy fits, stamp his feet in front of the TV Cameras and demand the ouster of the Head of State of a long term ally.

Who is next?Sarkozy? The Queen of England? Bela Abzug?

Will Obama wake up in the morning after having wookie induced nightmares and demand the resignation of Godric Gryffindor and his entire teaching staff from Hogwarts too? Is no one safe from Obamas continuing predations? Will all world leaders genuflect at the feet of "The One?"

Stay tuned for the next episode of the Obama A$$ wipe foreign policy initiative.

Obama has a serious screw loose.

Egypt protests: secret US document discloses support for protesters Here is the secret document sent from the US Embassy in Cairo to Washington disclosing the extent of American support for the protesters behind the Egypt uprising. 10:30PM GMT 28 Jan 2011 S E C R E T SECTION 01 OF 02 CAIRO 002572 SIPDIS FOR NEA/ELA, R, S/P

AND H NSC FOR PASCUAL AND KUTCHA-HELBLING E.O. 12958: DECL:

12/30/2028 TAGS: PGOV, PHUM, KDEM, EG SUBJECT: APRIL 6 ACTIVIST ON HIS

U.S. VISIT AND REGIME CHANGE IN EGYPT REF: A. CAIRO 2462 B.

CAIRO 2454 C. CAIRO 2431 Classified By: ECPO A/Mincouns

Catherine Hill-Herndon for reason 1.4 (d ). 1. (C) Summary and

comment: On December 23, April 6 activist xxxxxxxxxxxx expressed

satisfaction with his participation in the December 3-5 \"Alliance of

Youth Movements Summit,\" and with his subsequent meetings with USG

officials, on Capitol Hill, and with think tanks. He described how

State Security (SSIS) detained him at the Cairo airport upon his

return and confiscated his notes for his summit presentation calling

for democratic change in Egypt, and his schedule for his Congressional

meetings. xxxxxxxxxxxx contended that the GOE will never undertake

significant reform, and therefore, Egyptians need to replace the

current regime with a parliamentary democracy. He alleged that

several opposition parties and movements have accepted an unwritten

plan for democratic transition by 2011; we are doubtful of this claim.

xxxxxxxxxxxx said that although SSIS recently released two April 6

activists, it also arrested three additional group members. We have

pressed the MFA for the release of these April 6 activists. April 6's

stated goal of replacing the current regime with a parliamentary

democracy prior to the 2011 presidential elections is highly

unrealistic, and is not supported by the mainstream opposition. End

summary and comment. ---------------------------- Satisfaction with

the Summit ---------------------------- 2. (C) xxxxxxxxxxxx expressed

satisfaction with the December 3-5 \"Alliance of Youth Movements

Summit\" in New York, noting that he was able to meet activists from

other countries and outline his movement's goals for democratic change

in Egypt. He told us that the other activists at the summit were very

supportive, and that some even offered to hold public demonstrations

in support of Egyptian democracy in their countries, with xxxxxxxxxxxx

as an invited guest. xxxxxxxxxxxx said he discussed with the other

activists how April 6 members could more effectively evade harassment

and surveillance from SSIS with technical upgrades, such as

consistently alternating computer \"simcards.\" However, xxxxxxxxxxxx

lamented to us that because most April 6 members do not own computers,

this tactic would be impossible to implement. xxxxxxxxxxxx was

appreciative of the successful efforts by the Department and the

summit organizers to protect his identity at the summit, and told us

that his name was never mentioned publicly. ------------------- A

Cold Welcome Home ------------------- 3. (S) xxxxxxxxxxxx told us

that SSIS detained and searched him at the Cairo Airport on December

18 upon his return from the U.S. According to xxxxxxxxxxxx, SSIS

found and confiscated two documents in his luggage: notes for his

presentation at the summit that described April 6's demands for

democratic transition in Egypt, and a schedule of his Capitol Hill

meetings. xxxxxxxxxxxx described how the SSIS officer told him that

State Security is compiling a file on him, and that the officer's

superiors instructed him to file a report on xxxxxxxxxxxx most recent

activities. --------------------------------------------- ----------

Washington Meetings and April 6 Ideas for Regime Change

--------------------------------------------- ---------- 4. (C)

xxxxxxxxxxxx described his Washington appointments as positive, saying

that on the Hill he met with xxxxxxxxxxxx, a variety of House staff

members, including from the offices of xxxxxxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxxxxx),

and with two Senate staffers. xxxxxxxxxxxx also noted that he met

with several think tank members. xxxxxxxxxxxx said that xxxxxxxxxxxx's

office invited him to speak at a late January Congressional hearing on

House Resolution 1303 regarding religious and political freedom in

Egypt. xxxxxxxxxxxx told us he is interested in attending, but

conceded he is unsure whether he will have the funds to make the trip.

He indicated to us that he has not been focusing on his work as a

\"fixer\" for journalists, due to his preoccupation with his U.S.

trip. 5. (C) xxxxxxxxxxxx described how he tried to convince his

Washington interlocutors that the USG should pressure the GOE to

implement significant reforms by threatening to reveal CAIRO 00002572

002 OF 002 information about GOE officials' alleged \"illegal\"

off-shore bank accounts. He hoped that the U.S. and the international

community would freeze these bank accounts, like the accounts of

Zimbabwean President Mugabe's confidantes. xxxxxxxxxxxx said he wants

to convince the USG that Mubarak is worse than Mugabe and that the GOE

will never accept democratic reform. xxxxxxxxxxxx asserted that

Mubarak derives his legitimacy from U.S. support, and therefore

charged the U.S. with \"being responsible\" for Mubarak's \"crimes.\"

He accused NGOs working on political and economic reform of living in

a \"fantasy world,\" and not recognizing that Mubarak -- \"the head of

the snake\" -- must step aside to enable democracy to take root. 6.

(C) xxxxxxxxxxxx claimed that several opposition forces -- including

the Wafd, Nasserite, Karama and Tagammu parties, and the Muslim

Brotherhood, Kifaya, and Revolutionary Socialist movements -- have

agreed to support an unwritten plan for a transition to a

parliamentary democracy, involving a weakened presidency and an

empowered prime minister and parliament, before the scheduled 2011

presidential elections (ref C). According to xxxxxxxxxxxx, the

opposition is interested in receiving support from the army and the

police for a transitional government prior to the 2011 elections.

xxxxxxxxxxxx asserted that this plan is so sensitive it cannot be

written down. (Comment: We have no information to corroborate that

these parties and movements have agreed to the unrealistic plan

xxxxxxxxxxxx has outlined. Per ref C, xxxxxxxxxxxx previously told us

that this plan was publicly available on the internet. End comment.)

7. (C) xxxxxxxxxxxx said that the GOE has recently been cracking down

on the April 6 movement by arresting its members. xxxxxxxxxxxx noted

that although SSIS had released xxxxxxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxxxxx \"in the

past few days,\" it had arrested three other members. (Note: On

December 14, we pressed the MFA for the release of xxxxxxxxxxxx and

xxxxxxxxxxxx, and on December 28 we asked the MFA for the GOE to

release the additional three activists. End note.) xxxxxxxxxxxx

conceded that April 6 has no feasible plans for future activities.

The group would like to call for another strike on April 6, 2009, but

realizes this would be \"impossible\" due to SSIS interference,

xxxxxxxxxxxx said. He lamented that the GOE has driven the group's

leadership underground, and that one of its leaders, xxxxxxxxxxxx, has

been in hiding for the past week. 8. (C) Comment: xxxxxxxxxxxx

offered no roadmap of concrete steps toward April 6's highly

unrealistic goal of replacing the current regime with a parliamentary

democracy prior to the 2011 presidential elections. Most opposition

parties and independent NGOs work toward achieving tangible,

incremental reform within the current political context, even if they

may be pessimistic about their chances of success. xxxxxxxxxxxx

wholesale rejection of such an approach places him outside this

mainstream of opposition politicians and activists.

It’s a shame that we are supporting the wrong side. I know Mubarak ain’t the kindest ruler in the world but he is a far sight better than the Muslim Brotherhood. I remember on this forum a few weeks ago, I typed my advice to Mubarak, despite myself being a just a working class, Pittsburgh Hunky, on what he should do. Don’t expect help from us, or worse, we are against you and I disagree with our actions. Look for help elsewhere, Israel or even India, we are no help. We have a traitor in the White House.

From USA Today 4/7/2007

CAIRO (AP) — A top U.S. Democratic congressman met a leader of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s most powerful rival, the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, U.S. officials and the Islamist group said Saturday.
Visiting House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer met with the head of the Muslim Brotherhood’s parliamentary bloc, Mohammed Saad el-Katatni, twice on Thursday — once at parliament and then at the home of the U.S. ambassador to Egypt, Brotherhood spokesman Hamdi Hassan said.

Looks like the Dummies have been working on this spread of Islamofascism for a while.

Obama has been in on this Cairo fiasco from day one.

THE PRIZE ?

Control of Europe’s Oil supply through the Suez Canal by the Muslim Brotherhood, and an open invasion route for HAMAS and international jihadists across the Sinai to Israels Southern border.

Obama has been playing one too many world domination board Games of “RISK,”proving hmself a nationalist socialist, neo colonialist of the first water.

I am reminded of Mussolini’s adventures in Ethiopia prior to WWII.

I also believe that Obama truly has a screw loose, he thouht this would actually work! But the next time he will pour in the US Marines, like a good neo-colonialist, now its just on the job training. ( I tremble to think.)

Mubarak and the Saudis are wiping the floor of the Red Sea with Obama as we speak. Obama looks ridiculous, stamping his feet and having hissy fits on television about Mubarak. We should send him to Tahir Square so he can man the barricades, and leer at the Egyptian Army, whose patience grows thin by the day. The MSM can take hero photos of Obama , in the style of every totalitarian leader since Napoleon, waving a Muslim Brotherhood flag and urging his fellow fascists on.

In the eyes of US leftists, it is all so romantic, until the bullets start flying, and Obama will be responsible for the consequent rivers of blood, just as he is for those of Kenya in 2006/2007. It is far past time for Obama to be held to account for both.

Not at all far fetched. What will you believe, your fantasies or your lyin' eyes?

Its right in front of you and you still don't get it?

Well, there is the old maxim about leading a horse to water but you cannot make him stink, or something like that.

Maybe this will convince you?

GOOD ARTICLE.

And then there is a whoe slew of reporting the MSM has studiously ignored in their rush to support Obama with their propaganda.Honestly, US journalism is now living in an alternate reality, completely unrelated to the events of the world. ruly, today I heard a Newsweek reporter say that the names of thse adinsteringthe arious Google and facebook “revolutionary web sites” used to organize and exploit Egyptians for this foasco are “embargoed” ( because thay are SOROS/Code Pink activists?).Its as if some bizarre Hollywood romantic “democracy” revolution drama has been made “real” by the idiots.Funny is it not that it does not play well in Europe, in Israel or Saudi Arabia?

So, I’m confused as to what this really means and what the reactions will be - if any - of the US press, We The People, the “Arab/Moslem world,” Isreal, etc?

If this makes him look as bad as it seems to, will Obama still have a job by week’s end? How does he go on friom here? It just seems beyond belief.

Thanks, Candor7. All I can say is that I knew in my heart the community organizer had his fingerprints all over this. And it appears that no one will challenge him. He meets with the MB and nobody (republicans) in D.C. care? I guess this is how he plans to W(in) The F(uture). Another WTF moment from the POS.

will Obama still have a job by week’s end?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well one would hope not,BUT the MSM has effectively learned how to spike any news about the true facts behind this revolution, so called in Cairo, at its zenith, it had 250,000 protestors, which is a sizeable crowd but hardly a national movement in a country of 80 million people.The MSM coverage was so burgeoning, that Americans would easily assume that the whole nation was rising up.That crowd was no more than a typical leftist Obama campaign rally.

Obama did the same thing in Kenya in 2006/2007. The result was genocide in NOvember of 2007,as the Orange Party took tio othe streets to protest the Keyan election results, and 15,000 Kemyas dies by the pangas of the orange party Islamofascists there, and Obama was in the middle of it with his reolutionary schtick. The same violence may happen yet in Cairo thanks to Obamas foolishness.

The people of Egypt are comcerned about two issues: Unemployment and food shortages, not democracy. The unemployment is said to be at 23% and a loaf of bread costs $25.00.Instead of arranging for a plan to boost the Egyptian economy and create jobs, and also arrange for a few dozen boatloads of Saudi bread for Egypt, Obama does what? He creates a sham deomocracy revolution, Obama leftist campaign style, hoping the Muslim Brotherhood takes power the same way they did in Gaza? What a maroon!

Obama is trying to create the same discontent in America so he can create a “revolution “ here in the USA prior to the election in November of 2012. The community organizing for that is happening right now.New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New Orleans will become just like Cairo in the summer of 2012.

Obama has a few screws loose. I am convinced of it now.
