Sixteen Killed In Cairo, Egypt Fire Bombing




[From article]
Two men who were denied entry to a nightclub later returned with others and firebombed it early Friday, setting off a blaze that killed all 16 people who were trapped inside by the smoke and flames, authorities said.
Terrorism was quickly ruled out as the cause of the attack at the El Sayad restaurant and club in Cairo's Agouza district.
Police were searching for six people suspected in the attack, which occurred after two of them were not allowed to enter the club, said Interior Ministry spokesman Abu Bakr Abdel-Karim.
After the two were refused entry, they "went and drank alcohol somewhere else," then brought four others with them, arriving on three motorcycles about 6 a.m., Abdel-Karim said. "They then threw a Molotov cocktail at the entrance of the place." No one who was inside the club survived,

Misguided White House Policy In Middle East, And The Nuclear Weapons Agreement





[From article]
Thoughtful and reasonable people who have read the 159 pages of the Iran Nuclear Deal must admit that the deal with Iran is a very bad one. According to the best case scenario which assumes the unlikely possibility that the Iranians will not cheat, Iran will be free to legitimately have as many nuclear weapons as they desire after 10 years, purchase conventional weaponry in 5 years, and be able to purchase ballistic missile technology in 8 years. Under this agreement its breakout time, which is the time it would take them to put together enough weapons-grade uranium for one bomb, will be one year.
[. . .]
After the sanctions relief by the beginning of 2016, if Iran cheats or breaks the agreement, their break out time will be around 2-3 months.
[. . .]
Iran will be given hundreds of billion dollars’ worth of unfrozen assets and sanctions relief allowing it to become a regional conventional military power in the Middle East and to militarily strengthen its terrorist proxies such as Hizb’allah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Syria’s Assad in their fight against Israel. While Israel has received since its founding 67 years ago a total of $124.3 billion in aid by the U.S., Iran will be given by the U.S. up to $150 billion as an immediate signing bonus. In recent years the Israeli economy and daily life was twice paralyzed by Hamas and Hiz’ballah missiles attacks. Imagine what the next war against Israel will look like.
[. . .]
The Iranian deal will guarantee that Israel will have to face at least two wars in the next decade. In the short term, they will face a more deadly conventional war and in the long run a possible nuclear war.
[. . .]
In the19 30s and 40s most Jews in America were reluctant and ineffective at rescuing their Jewish brethren in Europe during the Holocaust. The excuse was that most Jews were either new immigrants themselves or first generation Americans, and were afraid of the anti-Semitism that existed in the United States at the time. In 2015, U.S. Jews have no such excuses.

American Jews must say 'Never Again' to Obama
By Shoula Romano Horing

* * *

[From article]
The Iranian threat is directed primarily against the United States, the Great Satan.
To Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, his circle of ruling mullahs and the entire command structure of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, destroying Israel is, to them, just an added bonus and a religious obligation.
There are no restrictions on the money that will be released to Iran.
[. . .]
This deal, by providing substantial additional income to Iran, materially assures the strength and permanence of the hold of the existing government over the Iranian population:
by increasing the resources that can be allocated to the internal security apparatus;
[. . .]
Since April 2015 the Obama administration has released $700 million per month to Iran. Unfortunately, a substantial percentage of these released funds have gone to fund internal security operations within Iran and to finance increased operations of the IRGC throughout the world.
[. . .]
this agreement, It:
has already taken those who have been found guilty of murdering Americans and have been penalized by US courts completely off the hook and has granted them complete freedom from these judgments and verdicts.
obligates the US to assist and train Iran in preventing any sabotage against its nuclear facilities.
[. . .]
states that the US may not impose any new sanctions on Iran for any other reasons. So if next year Iran’s terrorists were to attack a US embassy, the US would not be allowed to sanction Iran for such aggression.

The Iran Deal is bad for America, very bad
By Ted Belman

[From article]
Won't you please commit suicide, dear ally Israel?
(Said with a million-dollar Obama grin).
That's the message to Israel when you look behind Obama's words. He has totally abandoned a close ally surrounded by primitive barbarians like Iran and ISIS.
The only positive result is that Israel and the Arabs have now formed a defensive alliance to fight Iran.
Israel is not the first of Obama's betrayals.
He started by telling Egypt's Hosni Mubarak to step down -- an act of supreme imperialistic arrogance -- to let a Muslim Brotherhood fascist be "elected." Egypt just saved itself from the MB's by the skin of its teeth.
Obama also backstabbed Muammar Gaddafi, who had surrendered his nuclear program to the Bush administration.
[. . .]
Betrayal is Obama's middle name.
Millions of Americans are ashamed of this president and his enablers on both sides of the aisle.
Since apologies are in fashion today, let me be the first to apologize for Obama. He is a deadly cancer on the body politic. By comparison, Richard Nixon was a great patriot.
[. . .]
The Father of Lies himself just claimed that his "arrangement" will make war less likely.
Which makes us wonder (again) which side he is really on.
Surely not America's side.
[. . .]
Admiral James (“Ace”) Lyons has explained our national danger.
“There’s no question we got a hell of a job ahead of us… With the Muslim Brotherhood penetration in every one of our national security agencies, including all our intelligence agencies….our lead intelligence agency” is “headed by a Muslim convert,” a reference to Obama CIA head John Brennan.
“The threat is Islam. Let’s make no mistake about it. There’s no such thing as radical Islam.”
If Obama has his way, Israel will be the first national victim.

Has Muslim Brotherhood Infiltrated US Government?




[From article]
The Muslim Brotherhood is called the "Ikhwan" in Arabic, meaning "brotherhood." (Like German "ich" and "won.") It took that name in 1928, when fascist and Nazi "brotherhoods" were spreading all over Europe.
From the start, the Ikhwan actively collaborated with Hitler through the mufti of Jerusalem. One of their slogans is "All we want is to die in the way of Allah" – which means killing as many infidels as you can when you die. This is the theological basis for suicide-bombing. Today, there is no daylight between the Ikhwan and ISIS.
In 1981, an Ikhwan front group assassinated Pres. Anwar Sadat, the most important Arab peacemaker with Israel.
The Ikhwan employs Malik Obama, the president's half-brother, as a big money man.
The Ikhwan created Hamas – the terrorist group that uses children as human shields to protect rocket launchers in Gaza.
[. . .]
Today, millions of Egyptians believe that Obama supports their mortal enemy, the Ikhwan.
The Ikhwan is now engaged in a monumental civil war against President El Sisi, whose court just condemned its leader to death. Their leaders who are not in jail have fled to Qatar, Turkey, and Gaza, all part of the Ikhwan network.
The Ikhwan controls American front groups like CAIR, which buys up American politicians by the truckload, especially on the left
[. . .]
Four-star admiral James Lyons (USN, Ret.) has gone public with the charge that the Ikhwan has deeply penetrated U.S. intelligence.
[. . .]
Hillary Clinton's closest personal aide as SecState was Huma Abedin – an Ikhwan insider. Abedin was one of the few people who had access to Hillary's illegal personal e-mail account on the night of Benghazi. Nothing has changed – Abedin is still at the top of the Hillary campaign.

Egypt's Former President Morsi Sentenced To Death




Egypt banned Muslim Brotherhood, but not the United States? Why is that?

[From article]
Morsi is already serving a 20-year prison term for ordering the arrest and torture of protesters while in power.
Egypt's religious authorities will now have to give their opinion before the sentence can be carried out.
Morsi's supporters from his Muslim Brotherhood movement have described the charges against him as "farcical".
He was deposed by the military in July 2013 following mass street protests against his rule.
Since then, the authorities have banned the Muslim Brotherhood and arrested thousands of his supporters.
[. . .]
The judge's request for the death sentence in connection with the jailbreak case was referred to the grand mufti, a high religious cleric, for ratification.
However, the mufti's recommendation is not binding. Even if he advises against the death sentence, the judge can still go ahead with it.
[. . .]
Many of his 104 co-defendants were Palestinians accused of being members of militant group Hamas, and were charged in absentia.
The court also issued rulings on another case, sentencing 16 Muslim Brotherhood members, including deputy leader Khairat al-Shater, to death on spying charges.
Morsi, who also faces espionage charges, will be issued a verdict in that case at a later date.

Oliver North Reveals White House Refused To Aid Egypt



ISIS held a massive military parade last week in Cyrenaica in eastern Libya.
[From article]
Oliver North told Greta Van Susteren tonight that the Egyptian government asked the US for information on ISIS targets in Libya yesterday after ISIS beheaded 21 Christians. But, the Obama Administration refused the request. The Obama administration also refused to give Jordan information on ISIS targets in Syria after their pilot was burned alive in a cage.
“President El Sisi asked for American intelligence targeting intelligence before today’s strikes and didn’t get it. King Abdullah of Jordan asked for Intelligence data on targets to respond to the murder of a Jordanian aircraft pilot. The Kurds are begging for arms and ammo from the United States, not one bullet has been delivered by the United States.”

U.S Refuses To Assist Egypt and U.A.E. Airstrikes on Libya


Egyptian President Abdul Fattah el-Sisi, right meets with Libyan parliamentary speaker Ageila Saleh Eissa in Cairo on Aug. 26, 2014. Amid fears by Libya's neighbors that it is sliding deeper into turmoil, the U.S. says Egypt and the UAE carried out airstrikes against Islamists there. 
(AP Photo/MENA)
[From article]
The United States does not support Egyptian and Emirati airstrikes against Islamist militias in Libya because the U.S. believes the crisis in Libya must be resolved politically and without outside interference, a Department of Defense spokesman said Tuesday.
Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) carrying out airstrikes in Libya was different from U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant forces in Iraq, Pentagon spokesman Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby told a briefing, because the U.S. was acting in Iraq, in a “very targeted” manner, at the request of its government.
[. . .]
Libya’s slide into anarchy has alarmed neighboring Egypt and several Gulf states, who have voiced concern that chaos there will help to spread the jihadist threat in the region. An al-Qaeda-linked group, Ansar al-Shariah, controls most of Benghazi and another Islamist faction, Fajr (“Dawn”), seized the Tripoli airport at the weekend.
Qatar, whose backing for Islamists including the Muslim Brotherhood across the region has angered its Gulf neighbors, has funneled support to the Islamists in Libya.
Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia are believed to be supporting a former Gaddafi-regime chief of staff, Gen. Khalifa Hifter, who early this year declared war on the Islamist militias. The Islamists have accused him of being an “American agent,”

US State Department Lied About Meeting With Muslim Brotherhood




[From article]
The State Department admitted on Monday that it misled reporters about a recent delegation of Muslim Brotherhood leaders and allies who were hosted for a meeting with officials at Foggy Bottom.
State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki claimed last week that the controversial delegation of key Brotherhood leaders and allies had been “organized and funded by Georgetown University.”
However, the university denied this is the case when reached by the Washington Free Beacon.
[. . .]



The Muslim Brotherhood is the central Sunni coordinating mission for jihad, the conquest and subjugation of the world to the dictates of sharia law, and the supremacy of Muslims over infidels. The Egyptian government has identified the MB as a terrorist organization.
Egyptian government officials expressed anger at the Obama administration for hosting representatives of a group they consider to be terrorists.
[. . .]
The Obama administration has pursued a pro-MB policy ever since the president invited MB members to his historic Cairo speech, in which he apologized for America to the Muslim world. However, the Egyptians, who experienced and rejected Muslim Brotherhood rule, are appalled.
[. . .]
Just days after the Brotherhood-aligned delegation was hosted at the State Department, the Islamist organization released a statement calling for “a long, uncompromising jihad.”

Only Black Americans Have a History on Earth, No One Else



Moses, leader of Jewish slaves who lived on planet Alpha Centauri for thousands of years, before they traveled to Earth and the Middle East in 1948, to steal land from Palestinians. 

Alison Samuels says, "African-Americans are the only group of once-enslaved people who continued to live in the area where their ancestors were held in shackles. That creates a unique and tense dynamic for this country that is too often dismissed and misunderstood." Only group of "once-enslaved [black] people" in USA are living as free men and women alongside group of "once-enslaved" white people. Few Jews live in Egypt where they were "once-enslaved," having been killed off or chased away. Jews in Germany were slaves and killed in concentration camps. Jewish civilians live in Germany now. Today in USA black Americans get rewards without suffering any harms. White Americans are punished for doing no wrong. Where is that discussed? She also says, "We live in a world where anyone can say whatever they please to anyone they please on the Internet and it isn’t always warm, friendly, or nice." Online is not quite the wild west. Many periodicals no longer allow comments. Others censor words "that may offend some person." The concept of free speech was a tradition for 1200 years in Ancient Athens with no law or constitutional provisions. The idea was to protect speech that some people hated. Not so in USA any more.

Lara Logan, Bold, Beautiful, Risk Taker



Lara Logan


[From article]
She began an affair with Michael Ware, a swashbuckling correspondent for Time and CNN known for his emotional reportage from the streets of Baghdad.
By late 2007, Logan had another boyfriend in the wings: Joe Burkett, a government contractor in Baghdad who, Gawker uncovered, had worked for a firm called the Lincoln Group. Burkett was a former Texas Army National Guard member whose company did public relations for the military, courting reporters and trying to inject positive war stories into the media. Logan had met and dated Burkett once before in Afghanistan, but it became more serious when they reconnected in Iraq. He began paying regular visits to the CBS compound.
Nobody was as surprised by this turn of events as Ware. After a few drinks one night, Ware entered the CBS compound, walked up to her quarters on the second floor, and discovered Logan and Burkett in flagrante delicto. A loud fight ensued.
[. . .]
With tensions high, Logan blamed Pilgrims for letting Ware enter her quarters when its people knew she was with Burkett.
[. . .]
“Jeff [Fager] believes in popular TV,” says a colleague. “The part of the business that involves reporting scary stories, on which you have to spend time and resources on investigations and fact-checking and sources—all of that annoys the hell out of him.”
[. . .]
“Fager has gotten rid of any structural oversight,” says a former 60 Minutes producer. “He doesn’t like people challenging him. There’s nobody to go to if you have a problem.”

Obama's Misguided Egypt Policy


[From article]
Obama should be truly worried about how the trail of ousted President Mohammad Morsi will lead to the truth coming out on his relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood and their common goals.
In fact, Obama’s latest reckless and non-calculated step could lose him a lot of friends and allies for America in the Middle East. He may not only lose Arab support but Israel’s as well, thanks to the announcement that the U.S. is freezing military and financial aid to Egypt.

Imposing Democracy on Nation With No History or Knowledge of It




[From article]
Egypt existed for thousands of years before there was a United States of America. In all those millennia, Egypt has never had a free or democratic society. Nor is Egypt unique in that.
Of all the different nations that have existed at various times and places throughout recorded history, it is doubtful that even ten percent were free or democratic.
[. . .]
Barack Obama's Middle East interventions have replaced stable and neutral despots in Egypt and Libya with anti-Western despots and chaos. Such is the price of pursuing ideological mirages.
After contributing to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood to power, and the disastrous aftermath of that, the Obama administration is now publicly lecturing Egyptian leaders, and trying to micro-manage them from thousands of miles away.

Obama Jeopardizes 30 Years of Egypt As Ally



Anwar Sadat, Made Egypt An Ally Of The US, Assassinated by Muslim Brotherhood

[From article]
In what in the span of world history is the snap of a finger, President Obama may have caused a seismic catastrophe: allowing Egypt to slip from U.S. ally back into Russian dominance.
It was always naive to pin our hopes on Egypt democratizing. As Thomas Sowell notes in his column on the opposite page, Egypt existed for millennia and, like the vast majority of the world, "never had a free or democratic society."
Even today's free nations took hundreds of years to achieve liberty. But, as Sowell says, "Barack Obama may have enough ego to imagine that he could accomplish, during his White House years, what took centuries to accomplish elsewhere."

Death to Churches Under Islam





[From introduction]
The Coptic Christian Church of Egypt was once the world’s largest Christian community. After the Islmaic conquest that began in 639 CE, the invaders gave the Copts a choice of converting to Islam or death and most of Egypt’s Christians became Muslims. The great congregation of Christian believers was scattered and the Copts of Egypt began their slow descent as a powerless minority.

[From article]
Sharia law is draconian if not hostile to Christian worship. Consider the words of some of Islam’s most authoritative and classic jurists, the same ones revered today by Egypt’s Salafis. According to Ibn Qayyim author of the multi-volume Rules for the Dhimmis, it is “obligatory” to destroy or convert into a mosque “every church” both old and new that exists on lands that were taken by Muslims through force, for they “breed corruption.” Even if Muslims are not sure whether one of “these things [churches] is old [pre-conquest] or new, it is better to err on the side of caution, treat it as new, and demolition it.”
