Report: Egypt´s Muslim Brotherhood
Infiltrated Obama Admin

Arutz Sheva [Israel], by Elad Benari

Original Article

Posted By:LittleHoodedMonk, 1/9/2013 12:06:57 AM

An Egyptian magazine has claimed that six American Islamist activists who work with the Obama administration are Muslim Brotherhood operatives who enjoy strong influence over U.S. policy.The December 22 story was published in Egypt´s Rose El-Youssef magazine and was translated into English for the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT). The story suggests the six turned the White House "from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood." The story is largely unsourced, but its publication

Comments:
Of course, the named people probably didn´t have a security clearance check before serving in their "sensitive" posts. The accusations would be enough for a minimal CIA or State Department investigation, but we know how busy they are scrambling to find the final cover story for Benghazigate. PIAPS can´t leave tainted in Herself´s future run up to a 2016 presidential bid.

Infiltrated? They were handed engraved invitations on silver platters.

Comrade ObaMao knows the Muslim Brotherhood and would rather sell his country to the Islamic radicals than solid American conservatives because they are more ideologically aligned.

#1 nailed it.

Obama told us from the beginning that he would always side with Islam, and he has.

He stood by, silent, while Ahmadinijad butchered the people of Iran during the "Green Revolution." These people sought to free themselves from the murderous mullahcracy of radical Islam. That´s why Obama refused to help.

But Obama DID support the Muslim Brotherhood´s takeover of Egypt. It eliminated an American ally while simultaneously destroying a peace treaty and increasing the likelihood of war with Israel.

And Obama supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya, even if they slaughtered our Ambassador and our soldiers on September 11th, 2012. Obama´s only reaction was to lie and lie and lie about those murders in Benghazi.

Obama has done everything he could to throw Iraq to the wolves, and he´s in the process of arranging our retreat to defeat in Afghanistan.

Barack Obama hates Jews.

Barack Obama hates America.

Barack Obama will ALWAYS side with radical Islam.

There´s really no reason to refer to it as an "infiltration". I´m sure the Administration would call it "outreach" or "inclusiveness"

Exactly, #1. It´s not like we didn´t know that Obama, the "Christian", was not really a Muslim with decidedly pro-Islam buddies to place in high places.

Elibiary, who has endorsed the ideas of radical Muslim Brotherhood luminary Sayyid Qutb, may have leaked secret materials contained in Department of Homeland Security databases, according to the magazine. He, however, denies having any connection with the Brotherhood.

Beginning with Clinton who sold military secrets to China, the Democrats have systematically disarmed America, either through giving/selling secrets or by doing what Obama is doing - stacking his Administration and Congress with anti-American, pro-Islamic radicals, the purpose of which is to soften the target for Sharia Law.

You doubt that?

North Korea may be planning a

North Korea appears to be preparing a fourth underground nuclear weapons test at Punggye-ri, the site of its previous test, a South Korean government source says. Pyongyang appeared to be making preparations for the test, according to a South Korean government source speaking to the country’s Joong Ang Daily newpaper. This comes on the heels of the South’s defence ministry reports that Pyongyang could perform a mid-range missile test-launch by Wednesday – also the deadline it has given to foreign diplomats to evacuate, as their safety would reportedly no longer be guaranteed

Bridgewater, N.J. - Like clockwork, they´re coming back -- after 17 years. "They" would be cicadas, the big, noisy bugs that climb out of the earth about every decade and a half to make everyone´s life more exciting. Experts tell Gannett News Service that the bugs live underground and feed off fluid that gathers near the roots of plants, then emerge from the soil when its temperature reaches 64 degrees. They´re largely harmless, but their sheer numbers can cause headaches. Some areas could see as many as a billion of the cicadas per square mile. That can lead to a lot of dead bugs all over roadways

Caracas - Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan opposition supporters rallied in a staunchly pro-government part of the capital on Sunday, answering a call by their candidate Henrique Capriles and showing strength a week before the presidential election. "Today the streets of Caracas are full of happiness and hope, confirming what will happen next Sunday," Capriles, the 40-year-old governor of Miranda state, told the crowd. Capriles faces acting President Nicolas Maduro, who has vowed to continue the hard-line socialism of his late boss, Hugo Chavez, if he wins the April 14 election.

Snoop Lion made bold comments about gay marriage and rap music, even addressing singer Frank Ocean´s coming out. Snoop, 41, who has spoken in favor of marriage equality before, was asked by The Guardian if he believed the R&B singer´s declaration of having loved a man meant gay relationships would soon be accepted in the rap community. "Frank Ocean ain´t no rapper," Snoop is quoted as saying. "He´s a singer. It´s acceptable in the singing world, but in the rap world I don´t know if it will ever be acceptable because rap is so masculine."

(Snip) Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he hopes a deal can be reached “in the next couple of weeks.” A GOP Senate aide involved in the negotiations said a deal is unlikely this week because writing the bill, which is expected to be up to 1,500 pages, is going slowly.

Shanghai & Hong Kong - China said it was mobilizing resources nationwide to combat a new strain of bird flu that has killed six people, as Japan and Hong Kong stepped up vigilance and the United States said it was closely monitoring the situation. All of the 14 reported infections from the H7N9 bird flu strain have been in eastern China and at least four of the six dead are in the financial hub of Shanghai, a city of 20 million people. The strain does not appear to be transmitted from human to human but authorities in Hong Kong raised a preliminary alert and said they were taking precautions at the airport.

In 2011, a little-known group called GOProud was a sponsor of the Conservative Political Action Conference, the annual marquee event for the right. A staunchly right-wing, fiscally conservative group that also promoted a pro-life message, GOProud seemed like a great fit for the event. There was just one problem: GOProud´s main function was as a gay-rights group. Enter Cleta Mitchell. Mitchell was, and is, on the board of the American Conservative Union, which runs CPAC.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012.
