Bloodbath of Muslim Brotherhood remaining members imminent


And, only because  Saudi Arabia, the main culprit in the funding and empowering of  the organization has now turned against the MB.  This turning against an entire organization that came into being and spread its wings to more than 50 countries, including the West with help from Saudi Arabia .... is because Saudi Arabia is worried the MB is also for regime change in the Sunni countries.  The stories and rumors about why the Libyan war came about, comes to mind here.  The rumors go that the Muslim Brotherhood UK were in cahoots with Gadhafi and were planning a coup in Saudi Arabia.  So,  the master manipulators got their ever-ready ally the USA, to destroy Gadhafi and his country.

Any threat to Saudi Arabia is expected to be dealt with in same fashion.
The only roadblock so far has been Syria.  That's something the Saudis and their allies had not expected.
   
Now, the master manipulators in Saudi Arabia have got Qatar, the  only Sunni country that was resisting the commands from Saudi Arabia and still giving shelter to the MB,  to not only get rid of them but also to sew shut the mouths of several journalists at Al Jazeera (I read that somewhere else, not disclosed in the below) who show favor towards the MB.  

I have a feeling, that the next on the chopping block will be CAIR.  Now, that's something to look forward to.  CAIR is very sympathetic towards the MB.  Unless USA's masters ... the ones in Saudi Arabia, give it orders to do away with CAIR, it won't happen.  So, let's hope the masters send that order to Obama in the near future.  Why do you think the UK is going after the MB?  Do you really believe they decided on that move on their own?  UK too takes their walking orders from Saudi Arabia and always have.  I know that's hard to believe.

From Reuters:
....Gulf Arab states took a step towards resolving a severe rift in the U.S.-backed alliance on Thursday by agreeing on ways to implement a security agreement they reached last year....
.... Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain want Qatar to end any financial or political support to the movement in order to end the rift, Gulf officials said earlier on Thursday.....

From AlJazeera:
Gulf foreign ministers have agreed to a deal to end months of unprecedented tension between Qatar and other members of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council over the Muslim Brotherhood.
At an extraordinary meeting in Riyadh on Thursday, the ministers agreed that the policies of GCC member states should not undermine the “interests, security and stability” of each other, a statement said.....
......Al Jazeera coverage of Egypt, seen by critics as biased in favour of the Brotherhood, has also increased tensions between Qatar and its Gulf neighbours.
The other GCC member states are Kuwait and Oman.....

Yup .... the Ukraine "mafia" is definitely mighty and strong in Canada


I hope Canadians are proud today that they let a foreigner demand and get an apology from one of our political parties' leader.... Justin Trudeau.  

I see this as a precedent for many worse things to come.  I am sure now that the Ukraine Ambassador to Canada who demanded an apology from the Liberal Party leader and got it,  has started the ball rolling for umpteen more apologies from our leaders.  

Waiting in line is CAIR-Canada who are demanding an apology  from the Prime Minister and his office. When are they gonna get it, dear Leader?  

It was disgusting to see SunTV  (no wonder I am  going off the Sun media) making mountains out of molehills and gloating over how Liberal party leader Trudeau had to apologize for the humor he used when opining about  Ukraine's recent Canada-USA organized, funded and operated "revolution."

When one attacks one's own family in favour of an outsider,  you have reached the bottom of the barrel.  Ugh!!

CAIR was created by Hamas based on Sun Tzu's philosophy "All war is deception"


As Canada is filled to the brim with the worst kind of dhimmis possible,  these kind of vids have to be repeatedly shown so that at least one fuck from the dhimmi multitude can see things for what they are.. At least one!  I can hope, can't  I.

Egypt keeps bestowing bonuses on itself and the world, Canada does the opposite


So good, so good!  Where were these guys hiding all this while? 

The more good Egypt does to secure itself, the more we realize what utter buffoons we have in our government in Canada.  Egyptians have identified the group that had destabilized their country and would have turned the entire country into a cavemen stronghold and they took drastic measures to keep themselves in our present century. How commendable!!! 

We, as Canadians, should be ashamed of what we have let our politicians do to this beautiful country.  Thousands of mosques all over, Islamic schools all over,  our learning institutions accepting money from oil-rich sheikhdoms and pleasing the donors by adding islamic studies to the curriculum,  letting Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR lobbyists have hours and hours of meetings with members of the Canadian government, importing thousands of Muslims on a daily basis, allocating our tax dollars to "oppositions"  who plot to overthrow governments, all on the manipulation and the word of the CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood lobbyists  ..... can we seriously think that our country is progressive and continue thinking that Egypt is far beneath us?  Compare and contrast and be fair in your judgement.  Which government is more savvy about the Muslim Brotherhood problem .... the Canadian govt. or the Egyptian govt?  

From AlAlam:
......Egypt orders arrest of Qatar’s Sheikh Qaradawi. Qatar’s Egyptian national notorious mufti, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, will be arrested immediately if he is found to set foot in Egypt, following his support to the Muslim brotherhood and his hostile remarks about Egypt’s Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar.
Egypt's chief prosecutor Hisham Barakat issued an arrest warrant for Qaradawi, on accusation of inciting the killing of Egyptian security forces and meddling in the country’s affairs.
Qaradawi has been a major critic of the country’s army following the ouster of Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi, in July 3.
According to Egyptian media, Barakat has assigned security authorities to look for all the other security issues that Qaradawi might have been involved in.
Qaradawi’s name has been put under the wanted list of all Egyptian airports, according to Barakat’s order, and he is to be arrested as he sets foot inside Egypt............

From APNews:
An Egyptian court has banned the Muslim Brotherhood  group and ordered its assets confiscated in a dramatic escalation of a crackdown by the military-backed government against supporters of the ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi.
Egypt state TV said the court issued its ruling on Monday.

The Brotherhood was outlawed for most of its 85 years in existence. But after the 2011 ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, it was allowed to work openly, formed a political party and rose to power in a string of post-Mubarak elections. In March, it registered as a recognized non-governmental organization.............

Why are Canadian politicians in the Muslim Bastardhood's back pocket? ... Part 1


As most Canadian citizens don't want to admit  that they might have elected brainless buffoons to the halls of power in Ottawa... what then?  Should we then consider that the alternative option might be the case?  Should we start wondering if some wads of money have been  passed to these brainless buffoons under the table?  It wasn't  too long ago that  the 18th Prime Minister of Canada, Brian Mulroney was accused of taking bribes. Let's not be too sure that some of the current buffoons in one or more of the three main political parties are not going the same route.  

The love affair that the present Canadian government, the Conservative govt. of PM Stephen Harper seems to be having with the Muslim Bastardhood members  and CAIR lobbyists is really and truly vomit-inducing.  If there's even a tiny whiff of wrong doing and it comes to light,  the Conservatives will be finished for good, especially because they portray themselves as "holier than thou" ...and, it would serve them right.  As far as I am concerned, I would only trust PM Stephen Harper as being above it all .... but not a single other person from his party....and neither would I trust anybody in the Liberal party nor the NDP.  

From OttawaCitizen:
....Osama Kadi has been involved with the London Moslem Mosque (LMM)  at least until the 2012-2013 school year. He was the Principal of its Weekend Islamic school. LMM is an important component of the Muslim Association of Canada’s infrastructure. Besides the 2004 money transfer from MAC to LMM, the presence of MAC administrator (and later president) Wael Haddara on LMM Board (2002 – 2003 – 2010 – 2011 – 2012 – 2013) attests to the LMM-MAC relationship.

On August 19, 2013, Point de Bascule revealed that sixteen days after having resigned his position as MAC president for “personal reasons,” Wael Haddara was identified as an advisor to Muslim Brotherhood-backed Egyptian President Morsi and a member of the Egyptian delegation at the United Nations, as attested by an official UN document.

After it was revealed in April 2013 that two terrorists responsible of an attack on a gas plant in Algeria were from London (Ontario), Wael Haddara, already an advisor to President Morsi, told journalists that the young men were unknown in the London Muslim community and that people with views that “disavow the idea of loyalty to Canada” aren’t welcome. In April 2013, the Toronto Sun presented Haddara as a London Moslem Mosque Board member.

Munir el-Kassem, the imam at the Islamic Centre of Southwest Ontario (also in London), went along the same lines in his April 2, 2013 press conference. He told media (Video 11:47) that terrorism cannot be linked with religion (“Faith and terrorism is an oxymoron”).

From April 2011 to March 2012, while Wael Haddara was on the board of the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) as a director and later as its president, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) revoked the charitable status of three Islamic organizations linked with MAC because they were involved in the financing of terrorism.

WAMY-Canada transferred Saudi funds to MAC in 2002-2003 and lost its status because it funded al-Qaeda in 2001. IRFAN-Canada lost its status after CRA concluded that for the 2005-2009 period alone, it transferred $14.6 million to the terrorist organization Hamas. From 2001 to 2010, MAC transferred $296,514 to IRFAN, Hamas fund collector in Canada while the London Moslem Mosque transferred $215,024 to IRFAN from 2000 to 2009.

In 2009, the Libyan World Islamic Call Society (WICS) identified Munir el-Kassem as a leader of one of its substructure. WICS was established by Muammar Gaddafi in 1972 to further the Islamization of non-Muslim countries.

WICS’ interreligious activities have often been used to cover the financing of terrorism and to bribe politicians. In 2004, US-based Muslim Brotherhood leader “Abdurahman M. Alamoudi, admitted in (a) plea agreement with a U.S. court that he was ordered by Gadhafi to help orchestrate (an) assassination and was provided by the Libyan leader with $340,000 toward that end.” Alamoudi also admitted that WICS’ operatives were used by the Libyan government to transfer funds to Hamas.

Newspeak is Doublespeak, Doublespeak is Newspeak ....all hail Big Brother


Dr.  Jonathan Matusitz from the Univ. of Central Florida's Nicholson School of Communication, believes firmly in calling a spade a spade and lays bare how the gods who rule over us mere mortals want to desensitize us from any myriad of "fears" and whatnot that they think we weak little nobodies need protection from.   The vid below was posted in Dec.2012. 
I believe he gave a talk last week which was organized by ACT for America and CAIR did their evil best to stop him but to no avail.



Here's what ACT for America says  at a short clip posted about that recent event in Florida: The Council on American Islamic relations,  a group founded in part with seed money from a Designated Terrorist Organization, and an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror financing trial, attempted to block citizens in Brevard County, Florida from meeting in a public building to discuss terrorism and efforts to replace the constitution with Sharia law. 

In spite of CAIR's harassment of county officials and smear campaign against the citizen's group, a local chapter of ACT! for America and the speaker at the event, a professor at the University of South Florida, the county defended the group's First Amendment rights and the meeting was allowed to take place.

The room was filled as over 200 attended. The speaker, Professor Jonathan Matusitz, is from Belgium where the capitol city, Brussels, is expected to become majority Muslim in 17 years. Politicians there have vowed to replace Belgian law with Sharia law.

Will Tunisians manage to get rid of Islamists ?

We will have to wait and see, but I hope they will.  A large segment of a  society that has enjoyed secularism for hundreds of years cannot  turn into "5-times a day headbangers" overnight, no matter how hard the islamists try to make that happen.  The failure of that is  because the crazier wahhabis and salafis within the Muslim Brotherhood  were too impatient to bring on the kind of changes they want to see in their new Caliphates of Egypt, Libya and Tunisia.  They should have used the present strategy they are using in the Judeo-Christian countries ... the strategy that is working so beautifully for them ... that of stealth jihad... slowly does it, quiet and quieter, inch by inch ... and if they had not tried to make the seculars drink the poison of islam in one gulp they would have accomplished what they will in the West...eventually.  

What's happening with the popular people's revolutions against the MB in their own Muslim countries, will teach CAIR and OIC, both organizations  working towards caliphating the world,  to be even more cautious in cementing the shariah inroads in Western society our traitorous politicians have let them already construct much to the chagrin of  us infidels.  Expect the shariah lovers now to be even more stealth, slower and quieter. That means we we will have to be even more vigilant to catch the vermin at their tricks.

Hafez Ghanem writing at Brookings:
  ...Will Tunisia Follow Egypt? Tunisia has always been considered to be the “Arab Spring” country most likely to succeed in its democratic transition.  But recently, there have been worrisome signs.  An opposition leader was murdered today, which is bound to lead to widespread protests.  A group of Tunisians has started a Tamarod, or rebel, movement.  They are emulating the Egyptian Tamarod, which collected 22 million signatures in a petition for early presidential elections and organized the massive demonstrations against President Morsi which ultimately triggered his overthrow by the military.  The Tunisian Tamarod’s stated objective is to withdraw confidence from the elected constituent assembly (whose mandate was supposed to end in October 2012) and from the government.  The Islamist Ennahda Party has the most seats in the assembly and leads the Tunisian government.



There are two important similarities between Tunisia and Egypt.  First, Tunisian society is polarized between secularists and Islamists.  Tunisian secularists are even more vocal than their Egyptian counterparts.  They are influenced by the French concept of laïcité, which implies a stronger separation between church and state than in the Anglo-Saxon tradition.  They complain about the “Islamization” of the civil service and argue that Ennahda’s long-term objective is to turn Tunisia into an Islamic state.

Second, the Islamist-led government in Tunisia has so far failed to deliver on the revolution’s economic demands.  About 78 percent of Tunisians are dissatisfied with the general direction that their country is taking, 83 percent feel that current economic conditions are bad, and 42 percent believe that the country was better off under the former dictator.  Discontent in Tunisia appears to be even greater than in Egypt (see table 1).  On a more positive note, the Tunisian government has recently reached an agreement with the International Monetary Fund, and some 75 percent of Tunisians expect their economy to improve. .........

From Reuters:
....Tens of thousands of Tunisians turned out for the funeral of assassinated secular politician Mohamed Brahmi on Saturday, and called for the Islamist-led government to be toppled.
Military helicopters hovered overhead and hundreds of troops and police lined the route of a procession attended by Brahmi's widow and son and several prominent politicians.
"The people want to topple the regime!" and "With our blood and with our souls we will sacrifice ourselves for the martyr!" people in the crowd shouted...........

From France24:
A police officer was injured  after a bomb exploded in a suburb of Tunis on Saturday. It followed a second day of demonstrations on Friday, sparked by the assassination of opposition figure Mohamed Brahmi, during which one protester was killed......

Smart Kansans beat Devious Shariah lovers

Ezra Levant talks to Peggy Mast on how the State of Kansas showed their smarts on safeguarding their Constitution and keeping at bay the stealth onslaught of the Caliphate. Thank the good Lord for lawmakers like this women and others like her who understand the danger we are in and who are at the forefront fighting stealth jihad.... against all odds.

And, of course, Reuters who I am sure, are by now, almost entirely Muslim-owned reported that "critics have blasted as an embarrassment to the state" this move by the Kansas State lawmakers. Oh really, Reuters?  Pray tell us who exactly those critics happen to be?  Were they your favorite teddy bears the Muslim groups?

Sad to see the biggest names in media like Reuters, AP and even the supposedly right-wing FoxNews so neck-deep in the gore of islamic blood money.

In which Worst-Buy founder gives up his chair but it has nothing to do with CAIR ... or so we are told


Best Buy Co. said Monday  that founder Richard Schulze will resign as chairman, after its investigation of former chief Brian Dunn found that Schulze acted “inappropriately” in failing to bring the allegations of Dunn’s personal misconduct to the board. The electronics retailer also said Dunn, who resigned last month, did not misuse company resources.

And, of course perish the thought that it has anything to do with the support his company so generously gives terrorists-linked entities at the cost to shareholders!!   Yeah, yeah...we believe you.  Traitors !!!

Vid at link.
Despite thousands of protest emails, phone calls and petition signatures, Best Buy continues to hide behind diversity-speak in defense of their "platinum sponsorship" of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) – support first documented by Islamist Watch. Best Buy should be in the business of selling televisions, computers and washing machines, rather than supporting radical groups tied to Hamas by the United States government. Their obstinacy is stunning.

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a leading voice for moderate Muslims, appeared on the Fox News Channel, May 12, 2012, to discuss the growing protest movement against Best Buy and the problems with Islamist groups such as CAIR. "They [Best Buy] should have simply done a Google search," said Dr. Jasser, "or maybe talked to the rest of the Muslim community."....

Glenn Beck's blockbuster documentary .... Rumors of War III


Glenn Beck's documentary on how the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the government of America is going to be talked about and spread around for a long, long time. Hopefully it will wake up even the dead and save America from the traitors within her borders.



Also, listen to Rep.Michele Bachmann talking to Glenn about the Muslim Brotherhood's influence in the Obama administration here. You will be amazed at what she has to say.

Obama the muslim prez purges all negative references made about his cult from FBI training materials


Important article and a "must read" but only if you want to be kept informed of how the muslim cult is gaining ground .... if you think that's silly  and people like me are nuts .... please move on.

....The February 8 FBI meeting was the culmination of a series of unpublicized directives issued in the last three months by top FBI officials to all its field offices to immediately recall and withdraw any presentation or curricula on Islam throughout the entire FBI. In fact, according to informed sources and undisclosed documents, the FBI directive was instigated by radical Muslim groups in the US who had repeatedly met with top officials of the Obama Administration to complain, among other things, that the mere usage of the term of "radical Islam" in FBI curricula was "offensive" and 'racist." And thus, directives went out by Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Mueller to censor all such material. Included in the material destroyed or removed by the FBI and the DOJ were powerpoints and articles that defined jihad as "holy war" or presentations that portrayed the Muslim Brotherhood as an organization bent on taking over the world—a major tenet that the Muslim Brotherhood has publicly stated for decades.

During the next several months, the IPT will be releasing a series of major investigative reports revealing the secret infiltration by and collaboration with radical Islamic organizations by the Obama administration that has spread to the National Security Council, the Dept of Justice, the FBI, the Dept of Homeland Security, the CIA and the State Department as well as local law enforcement.....

The NY Times gets slapped by the producers of The Third Jihad


The New York Times's appeasement and delusion proves they are living in self-imposed dhimmihood/

....The Third Jihad producers have issued a response to the New York Times articles and subsequent removal of the film from NYPD counterterrorism training.

....What CAIR and the New York Times failed to clearly address, is that The Third Jihad is narrated by a devout Muslim, who has a significant record of serving the United States of America, as a medical officer in the US Navy and as an attending physician to the US Congress. ...

The film's message urges the Muslim community to look within itself to root out the indoctrination that affects a minority of Muslims.

The documentary is founded on credible evidence presented by the FBI of a "Manifesto" published by radicals calling for the implementation of extremist ideology-both violent and politicized-within the United States.

It is no surprise that CAIR does not like the content of the film. CAIR is singled out in the film for its direct ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, open support for Hamas, and links to terror financing.

CAIR was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest ever terror-financing trial in US History. As a result of these designations, the FBI has formally ceased all ties with CAIR-as should the NYPD and New York Times.

The Third Jihad producers also take issue with several inaccuracies and omissions in the New York Times articles:

Several other inaccuracies appear in the article. For example, the New York Times notes that the film includes a doctored photo of the White House with an Islamic flag atop. But the photo is one of many pieces of documented footage from Islamist sources. Yet the New York Times implies that the filmmakers were the ones to manipulate the photo.

The New York Times also inaccurately quotes the film by stating: "'This is the true agenda of Islam in America,' a narrator intones." But the actual quote from the film is: "This document shows the true agenda of much of Muslim leadership here in America."

The article intentionally omits that this narrator is Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a devout Muslim.

The rest of the New York Times' coverage focuses on character assassination. While CAIR and others label the film Islamophobic, it is ironic that the film's detractors continuously point out that the film's producer has ties to Jewish organizations. The article inaccurately claims that Raphael Shore simultaneously works for Aish HaTorah.

Florida schools prep for the coming Shariah


Lefty teachers in schools, lefty professors in universities .... the new generation is done for. 

Kelly Miliziano, who teaches history classes at Steinbrenner High School in the Tampa, Florida area apparently thinks it’s perfectly OK to invite a senior official of a HAMAS-affiliated organization into her classroom to discuss Islam with her students. According to local media reports, not only has this been going on for years, but in spite of the civil and criminal proceedings that could result from such reckless negligence, the Hillsborough County school superintendant, Mary Ellen Elia, and the chairman of the school board, Candy Olson, also expressed approval for students under their responsibility to be exposed repeatedly to guest speaker, Hassan Shibly, who is the Executive Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the Tampa area.

And why is CAIR a problem? CAIR is an Islamic organization that was listed by the Department of Justice (DoJ) as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) HAMAS terror funding trial more than three years ago. According to the DoJ evidence submitted in that trial, CAIR was irrefragably demonstrated to be an element of the HAMAS Palestine Committee in the U.S. HAMAS, of course, is the Palestinian off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza and a U.S.-government-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. Therefore, it is readily appreciated that CAIR is actually HAMAS doing business in the U.S. under another name. Based on that evidence as well as the unanimous guilty verdict for the HLF defendants in the 2008 trial, the FBI severed all ties with CAIR the following year.....

The full-scale taqiyyah and downright rottenness of CAIR


Why is this organization not closed down as yet?   They are surely bribing or blackmailing the US politicians to keep them around ... there simply cannot be any other logical explanation for letting this blasted entity keep on taqiyyah-ing  and showing their true colors at every opportunity.  They are on the side of the enemy and they make no bones about it.   Something is fishy somewhere and the stench is coming from several members of the political parties ... both Republican and Democrat. 

Hamas-linked CAIR had absolutely nothing to say this past week when the Taliban shot Americans in the back at a volleyball game and tore dozens of innocent Muslims to shreds at a market (see picture), but it exploded in "disgust" over disrespect shown to dead terrorists.

Pakistani Uncle Toms, Arab Uncle Toms, Indonesian and Malaysian Uncle Toms ... and Aunt Jemimas too


That's what CAIR says about muslims who desire to live peacefully with us.

CAIR has it's offices in Canada too. I wonder what CAIR is doing in Canada and  do Canadian muslims really think they need this monstrosity on our shores?

Canadian muslims should insist that the offices of CAIR Canada should be shut down with immediate effect. Look what CAIR is saying about muslims who want to assimilate and live peacefully with infidels.  If you agree with CAIR, then you will not request the Govt. of Canada to close CAIR's offices here.  Let's see what you really are made of !!!

These days we have Pakistani Uncle Toms, Arab Uncle Toms, we have Uncle Toms masquerading as imams, Indonesian and Malaysian Uncle Toms. And we need to call them out. And these people are trying to speak on behalf of the community. … We as a community should rise up and say this Uncle Tom and Aunt Jemima does not represent the interests of the [mosques] and Arab organizations.

In which we see CAIR soliciting Ghadafi for his money just a few short months ago ....

and like the "stabbers in the back"  ..... a trait that's ingrained in the DNA of most moslems .... now you see them conveniently against the dictator.  Fair weather butt lickers.   Nice, eh?!


Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), asked Muammar Gaddafi to underwrite CAIR's efforts in the United States during a September 2009 audience with the Libyan dictator.

According to an account of the meeting in a Libyan news website, Awad was joined by two other leading CAIR officials in praising Gaddafi's leadership and asking him to help underwrite a program to distribute 1 million copies of the Quran to government officials and the general public in America and to help start up a new foundation Awad was trying to launch......
