Middle East expert Walid Phares says this weekend’s vote on a new Egyptian constitution is part of a broader strategy by President Mohammed Morsi to transform the country into a “totalitarian Islamist state” like Iran.

“They forced the referendum on Egyptians without judges, monitors, and under the pressure of their street militias,” explained Phares, an advisor to the anti-Terrorism Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives, said in an exclusive interview with Newsmax.

“That’s what the forces of civil society are seeing today. Egypt is divided between the Islamists and the rest of the country.” …

0bama should lose his job over this and this alone. The 0bama propaganda outlet we call the news media isn’t talking about this. Scary times, people.

It's utterly amazing. The forces of totalitarianism are on the march throughout the entire world.

The most depressing part is that the media is completely behind it. I'm old enough to remember when the media was anti-totalitarian.

No, wait, hold on. I'm not.

Totalitarianism can happen anywhere, in any country, and very quickly...

Morsi is getting plenty of blow back from the non Sharia folks who helped oust Mubarack.

Phares, from the article:

Egyptian democracy forces today openly accuse the Obama Administration of helping the Brotherhood take over the country.

That’s not something that the Obama Administration has been hiding. Who out of the secular groups has been invited to the White House, after all? None. The Muslim Brotherhood has been there, though, and that is just saying too much. All the excuses and lies about the MB to try to make them look like the secularists (they aren’t a religious group, they are “moderates”, they are not interested in politics, blah blah blah) and the leopard turned out to have never changed its spots after all. Who did they think they were trying to con?

Obama has accomplished what he was installed to do by his handlers - weaken the U.S. and her allies and strengthen the enemies of freedom and free speech and personal liberty.

There will not be enough help (imho) to stop zer0. zer0 has moved in his first four years, twenty years backwards across the region by design. Since zer0 has four more years, the region will be completely purged of western influence is my humble opinion, and the sword rattling will intensify. Am seeing sword rattling on a large enough scale to be considered as having begun twelve plus years ago.

Good to see you gleeaikin. God Bless You and Yours. Hind Sight is 20/20. Foresight for this situation looks to be 20/20. Wish and pray it were not true.

I wonder how far off the Tribulation must be. I don’t think we go through it
Just have to take care with thinking like that. Consider Luke 21:35. If this encompasses the whole earth, then not any corner of the globe will remain untouched.
