The “new” Egyptian leader of al-Qaeda

Following the death of Osama bin Laden, it had been speculated that his second hand man Ayman al-Zawahiri was to succeed him as the leader of al-Qaeda.

For the time being however, al-Qaeda has chosen a “new caretaker” to lead the terrorist group, Saif al-Adel, an Egyptian militant who has been under indictment for the U.S. embassy bombings in Africa and one of the masterminds behind the 1981 assassination of Egyptian President Anwar al Sadat.

According to terrorism expert Peter Bergen, Adel’s track record also includes joining the U.S. backed Mujahedin in Afghanistan and training al-Qaeda operatives in Sudan. Perhaps what is most shocking of all is that Adel believes that radical jihad should appeal to the “youth of the ummah”.

In other words, the youth of a Muslim community or the nation should appeal to radical jihad. What we have seen in Egypt is the beginnings of radical Islam growing out of control. While the news media will want you to believe that these were “so called” peaceful youth revolutions demanding the removal of Hosni Mubarak, which is true to some extent, the reality of the situation is that the Muslim Brotherhood used these protests as a catalyst in achieving a goal, which is to get control over Egypt.

It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that both Adel and al-Zawahiri are part of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, the same “god father” organization of all terrorist groups in the Middle East that has vowed to whip Israel off the map and for the first time, we are witnessing Sunni and Shiite Muslims working together against Israel as a result of the protests throughout the Middle East.

The news media and the Obama Administration does not appear to be too concerned over the new diplomatic relations between Egypt and Iran, or the fact that Egypt has opened up the Gaza Strip or the fact that these new al-Qaeda leaders are members of the Muslim Brotherhood or the fact that just last week in Egypt, Muslims were targeting Christians and burning down churches. Really peaceful democracy isn’t it?

In all, it works as a victory for al-Qaeda. If the Muslim Brotherhood does get a majority control over Egypt, this allows the terrorist group to establish additional training bases and utilize the youth for their operation. Furthermore, al-Qaeda has a presence in Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen. Five countries next to each other. Again, it doesn't take rocket science to figure this out.

Honestly though, how does President Obama sleep at night knowing that because of his vocal support to remove Hosni Mubarak as President of Egypt, has turned that entire country and the Middle East into a level of instability?

Egypt and Iran bridge relations?


The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that Egypt and Iran have bridged diplomatic relations for the first time in 30 years, ever since Egypt had signed a peace treaty with Israel.

However, Iran and Egypt respectively, have been denying such comments that they had begun smoothing out relations, even though Egypt’s foreign minister had stated in Cairo, that both countries where taking steps to re-establish ties.

Either way you look at it, the situation offers some rather disturbing scenarios as to what is really going on in the Middle East at the height of the unrest spreading from country to country.

For years, Egypt had been the only country to help stabilize the peace with Israel. However, since the collapse of President Hosni Mubarak’s regime in February, there has been more than enough concern as to whether the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate relations within Egypt’s new government, which is predominately Sunni Muslims and the Shiite Iran.

Historically speaking, Sunnis and Shiite Muslims do not get along, however the Muslim Brotherhood believes Muslims are not supposed to fight fellow Muslims and theoretically return to their earlier roots at the time of the prophet Mohammad.

But the Sunnis and Shiites do share one common goal: Destroy Israel and the United States.

Meanwhile here in at home, we have a completely incompetent President that refuses to address the destabilization of the Middle East. Perhaps he really doesn’t care? Perhaps it is just better off for the Arab world to fight against one another and then unite to destroy Israel and then ignore the problem?

Nobody seems to know what is really going on in this man’s head.

Target: Israel

 There seems to be a deep resentment against Israel lately at the height of the Middle East protests, and for a variety of reasons. Shiite Muslims want Israel gone so they can reclaim the 'promise land' and among the list of suspects include Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslm Brotherhood and yes even, Moammar Gaddafi.

You may be asking yourself why Muslims and al-Qaeda are currently allies right now with the United States to overthrow Gaddafi in Libya. Well, its very simple. If they can rat out the dictator, that means the people Gaddafi has controlled for over four decades will now come under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood, after all the clerical leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi called for an assassination on Gaddafi.

Isn't it also interesting that Egypt was the only country in the Middle East that helped keep the peace with Israel. After Hosni Mubarak's removal as President, Qaradawi, who was banned from Egypt for many years was seemingly allowed back into the country and he spoke in front of a crowd of the so called 'peaceful' protesters calling for the extermination of Jews.

You would think Adolph Hitler was resurrected. 

Switch back to September of 2010, when President Obama spoke at the United Nations calling for Palestine to become a State by 2011. See the trend?

I don't doubt for a moment that the early protests in Tunisia back in January were a result of people becoming fed up with dictatorial control, poverty, unemployment and shortages. However, there is seemingly an evil throughout the Middle East that have used these protests as a catalyst to do something far more worse.

Strangely, this President has not once called for unification with Israel during these times of crisis. He is a President that you simply cannot take seriously and he himself, seems to harbor some kind of resentment against Israel. If he does want a Palestine state to be established by the end of 2011, wouldn't that mean the removal of Israel? I can't see why a terrorist organization like Hamas would suddenly decide to surrender and become friends with Israel over night, since they are largely occupied in the Palestinian region.

But perhaps nobody is more anti-Israel than the Jew hater himself, George Soros, someone who actually participated in the extermination of Jews during Hitler's reign in Nazi Germany. He was quoted as saying"Israel is the major stumbling block for world peace."

Perhaps Soros and his puppet Obama actually want Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to throw a nuclear bomb in Israel's direction?

Yes, it is a serious question.

Obama ignorance is shocking

As the United States and the rest of the world apparently continues to poor gasoline all over the place and set themselves on fire, President Obama has decided to celebrate by bringing Motown to the White House as a tribute to Black History Month. Simply unbelievable.

I honestly think Obama's ignorance and his contradictions are just about as worse as the Bush Administration, hence Obama's nickname "President Extension of George W. Bush".

Shortly after the upheaval began in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt, all President Obama did for an entire week and a half is demand that President Mubarak must resign, never mind the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood was helping provoke the unrest in the first place, and never mind the fact that Egypt helped keep the peace with Israel, something that the Muslim Brotherhood has wanted to destroy for quite some time.

Yet on Wednesday during his press conference, President Obama addressed the unrest in Libya for the first time in almost nine days since it began. In his speech, he refused to even ask for Gaddafi to resign, let alone even mention his name. He also seemed to completely ignore the fact that the spiritual cleric of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, called for the assassination of Gaddafi and acknowledged that it will be the primary focus of the Muslim Brotherhood to continue to destabilize the Middle East and whip out Israel.

Why is President Obama reluctant to acknowledge the Muslim Brotherhood's plans and why is he forgetting all about Gaddafi, when Gaddafi himself also has deep resentment against Israel and is an even worse dictator than Mubarak was?

In addition to completely ignoring the facts in the Middle East, President Obama is all about standing with the unions today, after the Wisconsin Assembly passed a bill that would break union rights, to help pass Wisconsin's budget. If anything, that should be a plus. It is about time that someone in the political spectrum finally woke up and realized that unions are one of the primary reasons why States all across America are in critical financial condition. Maybe if he actually understood facts, the President would call for union reform.

This President has not even made an effort to keep any of his so called campaign promises on "hope and change", its all about the status quo as far as he is concerned; continuously catering to the special interest groups and the far left socialist agenda.

Obviously we are living in a country that is no longer represented in a Democratic Republic and we probably don't even know what we stand for anymore in this country. When you have a President like this that is completely out of touch with reality, you have to question the motive.

Perhaps he really is just ignorant. Or perhaps, he, like the rest of the Arab World, doesn't like Israel either.

Libyan unrest; Gaddafi wants civil war?

First it was Tunisia, then Egypt, followed by Algeria, Jordan, Yemen, Bahrain, Morocco and now Libya has finally been added to the growing list of nations throughout the Middle East and North Africa demanding removal of governments by its people.

Initially, Libya seemed to be able to block earlier protests last month, promising to provide housing to its people after minor protests began following the unrest in Tunisia. Seems like the Libyans want a little bit more than just free housing, or maybe the Muslim Brotherhood just wants all dictators removed so they can destroy Israel and take back "their" land and establish Shariah Law.

Well, Libya's people started protesting last week demanding change in government. However, Libya's Supreme Leader, Muammar Gaddafi who has been in control since 1969, is refusing to leave. It is basically the same situation as it was in Tunisia and Egypt. The difference is that Tunisian President Ben Ali dissolved the government and fled the country and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak tried to hold on to power attempting to keep the Muslim Brotherhood influence out of his country. So in Tunisia, you have a cowardly dictator who runs away and in Egypt, you have an equally vicious dictator but helped keep the peace with Israel and cooperated with the United States against many terrorist groups.

However in Libya, Gaddafi has ruled with an iron fist and the country has never been friendly, if ever, to the United States. Now Gaddafi, dressed in his trademark turban, robe and sun glasses that makes him look like a total idiotic version of a "hippie Hitler" is encouraging a Civil War in his country among the protesters and his supporters. In the week since the upheaval began, thousands of people have been injured, and over a thousand killed.

Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood has called for an assassination of Gaddafi just yesterday. Fine. But isn't it interesting that Gaddafi and the Muslim Brotherhood hate Israel with a dire passion, yet the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't seem to be bothered at all about someone putting a bullet in Gaddafi? True, a dictator like Gaddafi should probably be killed. The answer to this is because the Muslim Brotherhood wants all governments in the Middle East removed, so they can have complete and total control of the region and see it spread like wild fires.

This is the confusion in the mainstream news media. You see people that are protesting against a corrupt government, but they are not looking "behind the scenes" of the real threat.

Egypt President Mubarak resigns

Egypt announced the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak today, after thirty years of power and two weeks of violence upheaval from its people. Well, it seems the opposite was apparent. The military finally put the pressure on him, following even more angry protests that occurred yesterday, after Mubarak announced he would hand over some powers to his Vice President Omar Suleiman, but that he would not resign.

His resignation comes after thirty years of dictatorial control on his people. Yet on the same end, Mubarak has been a very powerful ally to the United States to protecting Israel from radical terrorist groups.

While the Egyptian people began to celebrate immediately upon handing power over to the military, to some, this would give confidence that they will prevent hostile intervention from the Muslim Brotherhood.

But there is still cause for concern. The Muslim Brotherhood could end up getting a majority support from the people of Egypt and this would be catastrophic for the Middle East, as many of the protesters that wanted Mubarak to step aside, seem to be the ones supporting the Muslim Brotherhood.

The resignation of President Mubarak will most likely send shock waves throughout the Middle East. With the case of the protests in Tunisia that ultimately forced the removal of its President Ben Ali, it spread like wild fire to Egypt. Now with Egypt out of the way, many other countries might also see more larger upheavals. Libya, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Iran.

If it spreads and the Muslim Brotherhood does end up getting support in these countries and carrying out its determination against Israel, the Middle East, well, might not be the Middle East anymore.

George Soros' false views on Egypt chaos

There is nothing more sickening when you happen to listen to a multi-billionaire spew some false conciliatory overture, when the real motives are already set in place.

Such is the case with billionaire George Soros, known for his philanthropy work, promoting socialist ideals and helping collapse the economies of countries including the United Kingdom and Thailand.

At the height of the "Day of Departure" protests in Egypt as hundreds of thousands of protesters call for the removal of President Mubarak, there is something else "brewing" in the middle of all this.

Since the uprising in the Middle East began last month, there have been some lingering questions as to why it is all of a sudden playing out now. One might say that the people in these countries simply were fed up with their dictatorial leaders and vowed to fight back, which is certainly true to some extent. There is no question that people in other countries grow tired of an unfair authoritarian rule.

In another perspective, there is the idea that this was orchestrated from the very beginning, and people like George Soros stand to receive a great deal of financial wealth if the Middle East continues its current decline.

Here's an interesting scenario that people are failing to address. Back in 2009, when the Iranian people protested for the removal of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, all President Obama said was "The Iranian people are the ones to choose who their leader is." Here, there was virtually no interference from the United States in a country that is slowly, but surely, becoming a real threat to the Middle East and not to mention, Ahmadinejad himself is a modern day Hitler.

Yet now, President Obama is all over Egypt,  calling for the immediate resignation of President Mubarak and wants his current Vice President to take control of the country. Egypt on the other hand is telling the United States to "mind its own business".

They have a point.

The real threat again lies in the possibility of the Muslim Brotherhood getting into Egypt's government. This is why President Mubarak has refused to resign and why Egypt is telling the United States to back off. 

How does all of this relate to George Soros? Yesterday, he had his own analysis of Egypt's situation, and when you read his work, it is meant to sound so caring and supportive of human rights... all you have to do is read between the lines:

"The Muslim Brotherhood's cooperation with Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel laureate who is seeking to run for president, is a hopeful sign that it intends to play a constructive role in a democratic political system. As regards contagion, it is more likely to endanger the enemies of the United States - Syria and Iran - than our allies, provided that they are willing to move out ahead of the avalanche."

Well there is the old saying of keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Mr. Soros is indicating that the Muslim Brotherhood has cooperation with a hopeful candidate to succeed President Mubarak, even though the Muslim Brotherhood has not formally endorsed ElBaradei. Should it also be mentioned that ElBaradei is familiar with Iran's nuclear program and has consistently indicated that Iran is not a threat? Even if ElBaradei was endorsed by the Muslim Brotherhood, what role would they have in influencing radical change throughout the Middle East?

 Mr. Soros continued that "the main stumbling block is Israel. In reality, Israel has as much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle East as the United States has. But Israel is unlikely to recognize its own best interests because the change is too sudden and carries too many risks."

Really? What would Israel gain if Egypt's government was controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood? War with Lebanon or Iran? Slaughtering millions of Jews? His final theory seems to be aimed at replacing every single dictator in the Middle East with a new government, overshadowed by radical Islam.

It shouldn't hurt to say that Mr. Soros, like many internationalists on this planet have connections to investment bankers in the Middle East that have been financing terrorism including al-Qaeda.

It may sound somewhat conspiratorial, but Mr. Soros has always been abiding we always need a New World Order, and one of the ways to set the process of creating one, is by collapsing governments. Once a government is collapsed, some people stand to make a great deal of money off the pandemonium.

It would not surprise me if Mr. Soros carried this out.

Prisoners in Egypt released by Hezbollah

Egypt continues to look like nothing more than a war zone out of some Hollywood action movie.

The situation has grown from bad to worse as protesters and supporters of President Mubarak took to the streets for a violent battle. Gun fire, beatings, Molotov cocktails being thrown, its pure pandemonium. Journalists and world class reporters including Anderson Cooper and Christiane Amanpour have been in the middle of the crossfire and today, a Fox News crew were severely beaten and were taken to a hospital.

But that's not all that gone from bad to worse. Reuters reported that Hezbollah, which recently collapsed Lebanon's government, managed to help several of its members escape from prison in Egypt at the height of the chaos. In addition, thousands of other inmates were also able to escape, and with the Egyptian military and police force concentrating all of their efforts on the protests, a few of them have managed to muzzle their way back to the Gaza Strip.

Just moments ago, Ms. Amanpour, having dealt with getting attacked by the mob of protesters yesterday in Cairo, managed to finally talk with President Mubarak himself. In a ABC news exclusive, President Mubarak told Ms. Amanpour that "I'm fed up, I want to go, but if I resign today, there will be chaos..."

President Mubarak does have a point. There is no question that the people in Egypt are fed up with an authoritarian rule, but if he does cease power, this is one step further in what the Muslim Brotherhood wants, which again, is to destabilize the region and unite radical Islam to get rid of Israel.

Meanwhile, as expected, Iran is cheering for the protests in Egypt. Just like the Obama Administration is doing by the way.

Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi says the protests are a sign of "Islamic Renaissance" and that "any opposition to the movement of the Egyptian people ... will bring about the anger and hatred of all Muslims around the world..."

This is also what Iran wants and will have no problem in helping Hezbollah establish its goal here, which is to dominate the entire Middle East under an Islamic rule.

Chaos in Egypt continues to rise...

President Mubarak said yesterday in his press conference that he would do everything in his power to establish 'social justice' in Egypt, but refused to resign from his position. Instead, he has vowed not to run for re-election. But this is not sitting well with the protesters influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Now, chaos has really broken out into a more violent magnitude. Supporters of Mubarak have begun to clash with the hundreds of thousands of protesters in downtown Cairo, so much so, that even CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and ABC news correspondent Christiane Amanpour found themselves in the middle of it all.

If anyone knows a little bit about the history of uprising in the Middle East, it all relates back to the Muslim Brotherhood. Iran is a classic example, back in the late 1970's when its government was trying to control the nation from becoming an Islamic country. It didn't work out. Now you have Mahmoud Ahmadinejad just patiently waiting.

The same can be said of Egypt. There is a great deal of influence that the Muslim world wants to impose on just about everything, which is Sharia Law and a land that they believe is rightfully theirs. This is why they want Israel out.

Now one may argue that the Muslim Brotherhood won't have any influence on Egypt's new government once Mubarak is out. Well that certainly was not the case with Iran back then, and Jordan, which bans terrorist groups like Hamas, is struggling with its government right now.

Yet what is the most remarkable out of all of this, is while that entire region of the world is slowly becoming destabilized, President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton and Speaker Boehner, seem to be 'egging on the protests', but fail to mention anything about how fast this is all spreading and the interrelationships the countries in the Middle East have with one another.

Its fascinating to me that the far left in America are supporting the protests throughout the Middle East, but they'll criticize the Tea Party which protests against the same kind of government corruption...?

On one end, they support chaos, but condemn the same chaos on another end.

The double standard is breathtaking.

Protests in Egypt continue to grow

It does not seem that the protests in Egypt will go away anytime soon. Of the many North African and Middle Eastern nations protesting for the removal of their dictatorial leaders, Egypt seems to be the most tense. While protesters are calling for a million people to take to the streets demanding President Mubarak's removal, thus far, it seems that little is deterring him.

Last week, as the protesters grew into large crowds onto the streets on Cairo, President Mubarak removed his entire cabinet, hoping to calm down the tone, but it did nothing. Instead members of Egypt's own police force, actually sided with the protesters and its army actually called the protests 'legitimate'. That's saying quite a bit for a country that represses freedom of expression.

Now it is very likely that Mubarak may eventually resign, as the pressure is mounting and today he did call for a new government and even shoved the Interior Minister aside, which is the head of the nation's security forces that has been battling the upheaval since it began.

But there is still some strange contradictions going on here in the United States and the response to Egypt's protest movement. Vice President Joe Biden stated that President Mubarak was not a dictator and should not step down, while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared on ABC's Sunday morning news show This Week with Christiane Amanpour stating that there "needs to be reform". Meanwhile, President Obama called for the same reform and that "the United States is committed to working with the Egyptian government and the Egyptian people, from all quarters to achieve it, and around the world governments have an obligation to respond to their citizens..."

Oh is that right? The Federal Government gave no response to the American people when they called for an end of corruption under President Bush and now under your tenure Mr. President, but I digress...

The single most important factor that this Administration is failing to consider is that if and when President Mubarak is removed, regardless of his authoritarian rule in Egypt, this means there could be a very good possibility that the Muslim Brotherhood could take control, thus causing the Middle Eastern region to become destabilized.

Egypt as one of the United States' closest allies in that region of the world, has helped us protect Israel and against al-Qaeda terrorists. The last thing we need right now is for Egypt to collapse and bring that portion of the world one step closer to taking Israel out.

There is great admiration from the protesters in Egypt who want a freer society without an authoritarian rule, as it struggles with poverty, inflation, unemployment and shortages. However, could the Middle East be any better if Mubarak steps aside?

Regardless of the looting, destruction and death that has occurred throughout Egypt in the last week, the protesters are vowing to not stop, until Mubarak is out.

Crime wave in 2011?

It has been two years since the stock market crash and a world economic crisis spread. Millions and millions of people not just in America, but all over the world, continue to suffer from unemployment, struggling with no source of income to support themselves and their families and debt. Due to these factors, it brings upon a great deal of stress for many people, and when stress is a problem in a continued economic crisis, people begin to loose it.

In the last few months, there has been an escalation of violence throughout the United States. In September, there was an attempted assassination on Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri but the perpetrator mistakenly attacked the dean of a college, were the Governor was speaking. In Florida, about a month ago, a man opened fire on a school board meeting because his wife had been laid off by the school district. At the beginning of this month, we had the shooting in Tucson on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.  In this last week alone, there have been a number of shootings at schools in Los Angeles and eleven shootings on police officers across the country. Also last week in Santa Ana, California, police uncovered graffiti on two separate occasions which had scathing words for a proposed plot to kill California Governor Jerry Brown.

This is disturbing news. Many people may just say that some of this is nothing new or that some people are just 'venting their frustrations'. But if you look at what is happening across the world, people are revolting everywhere from Tunisia to Egypt, and to England and Greece. People are fed up with government and living in terrible times.

Back here in the United States, a new AP survey involving some of the leading economists in the world, say that in 2011, the outlook for economic recovery should be more optimistic. So if this is the case, then in 2011, we should see a decline in crime and more employment, right?

But this is not entirely optimistic. As States across this country continue to suffer from skyrocketing deficits, they'll have to find some way to either raise taxes and push more people to the brink of despair, or implement severe cuts, which will also put people out of work. Some of them of course, can afford not to work, like the ones that have gigantic pension funds.

Across the world, every country seems to be having the same problem, financially and people suffer.

So, due to the continuing severe economic factors, will we start to see a crime wave in 2011?

I'm predicting we will... unfortunately.

Egypt experiencing upheaval

Well, it looks like in this day and age as the world economic crisis continues, countries simply are getting beyond fed up with their government, and they're revolting. In the last three months or so, we've seen this. In the Ivory Coast, United Kingdom, Greece and most recently in Tunisia.

Now Tunisia's neighbors to the east are fed up their leader's authoritarian rule. Egypt experienced major upheaval today in Cairo and the protests were sparked mainly over President Hosni Mubarak's rule and the escalating poverty problems.

Police forces had to come in with tear gas and batons to stop protesters from nearly tearing down government buildings in the area. Still as the hours passed, many Egyptians continued with the protest without fall and as of this time, only two of those protesters and a police officer were killed.

You can see the common trend that is going on here around the world. People are fed up and they are angry, not only due to the struggling economic factors, but the government control has played a major part of the problem. These kinds of protests in many countries controlled by dictators and authoritarian rule, simply do not happen over night, nor to they happen so close to each other as they have been.

All I can say to Egypt is well done. Because I have a feeling in 2011, we're going to start having these same kinds of protests right here in the United States, but probably far more serious than the Tea Party protests we've been having.
