Thank you, boots. Tweeted all three of these threads and will do some more later. @Paxirana
Thanks...been watching...pretty much a done deal ....they were fools to stop and burn the fire engine and then run to the mosque expecting they wouldn’t be dealt with....
they use praying and the Mosques because they know they will always get sympathy by doing so....often when they pray in the streets it’s to stop the traffic and create the chaos
that does.
Never take them seriously especially if their actions appear innocent.....as you know the Brotherhood are Masters at deception and diversion....even among their own..it is thier lifestyle along with all other deviant actions they have cleverly disguised for decades and mastered their techniques.
The problems they’re having is... forensics and technology have made it very difficult for them to remain masked for very long...but the problem is the public eats news like people eat at fast food...they take in whatever they’re dished in 5 minutes and gobble it up. Confirmation takes time....
I am going to bed now...birds are singing...have to work later today....Yawn........Night Mesta...later then...
Sleep tight and sweet dreams, Lady.
Heck, THIS is not our US any more! And we can say that since 2009.
And you'd better believe The 9/12 Project stroked FEAR into the hearts of Pelosi’es and Obama’es (and even the GOP-e).
All of the retaliations and policies against our own citizens is triggered by the awesome pic of the Patriots that day. Not just people on the national mall, but spontaneous marches all over the country, too.
For THOSE, “enemy” is a very different thing. When did HHS/Big Sis issue the veterans/rightwing extremists warning? Using NSA to ‘mind’ their enemy is but the next ‘logical’ step.
I'm speechless...I don't know why I should be, given this is Purple Heart Kerry.
Did he think SOS was part of his retirement package - i.e. just a title with no real work?
He should have held out for Ambassador of Bahamas or Canada or something like that.
Wow thanks very much for this! Great post.
Yes it was VERY obvious that for hours, the MB were saying the military was attacking them and they were about to take their last breath. ANd the Military was just hanging out, outside, doing nothing, but letting them talk.
If the Military are such barbarians, why did they arrest 1000 people, and not kill them?
I feel like Al Sharpton is the community organizer for the MB.
Thouworm. Will you please post this material on the Chicago thread. Am on cell with limited copy available. Thanks

Egypt’s PM proposes legal dissolution of Muslim Brotherhood
RT:
12:10 GMT: A brother of Al-Qaeda’s worldwide leader, Ayman Al-Zawahri, has been arrested in Egypt, AP reported, citing a local security source. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Mohammed Zawahri was detained at a checkpoint in Giza, a town across the Nile from Cairo.
Mohammed Al-Zawahri is the leader of an ultraconservative Salafist group that operated openly in Egypt before July’s military coup, which ousted President Mohammed Morsi. The group was allied with Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood.
Egyptian authorities said earlier that Mohammed Al-Zawahri had commanded Islamist militants in Sinai Peninsula.
11:50 GMT: A gun battle erupted at Cairo’s El Fath mosque, where several hundred Morsi supporters remain barricaded since Friday. A gunman opened fire from the mosque’s minaret, with police shooting back at him. The exchanges of gunfire outside the mosque scared many of the people remaining inside, journalists in touch with the protesters reported. The identity of the lone gunman remains unknown.
11:44 GMT: The violent clashes between security forces and Morsi supporters on Friday left 173 people killed across Egypt, including 93 in central Cairo, the Health Ministry said. Countrywide, 1,330 people were injured, including 596 in the capital, the ministry said.
11:30 GMT: The Muslim Brotherhood may be banned in Egypt, a spokesman for the country’s interim Prime Minister Hazem Al Beblawi said. The proposition for a legal dissolution of the Islamist movement was tabled by the PM and is currently being studied by the provisional cabinet.
The Brotherhood was illegal in Egypt for decades, before the downfall of President Hosni Mubarak in 2011 brought it to the frontline of the country’s politics. Earlier the military-backed interim government said it would return to Mubarak-era security levels.

Among the 173 people killed Aug. 16 was the son of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie. The wave of suppression will pull the group in different directions, toward either violence or reform.
