Is Barack Obama the Titular Leader of the Muslim Brotherhood?

Senator Ted Cruz is the latest political figure to call on the State Department to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.  Cruz introduced Senate bill S. 68 and said, “It’s time to call the enemy by its name.”  Earlier this year, the Trump Administration designated some affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations:

@StateDept has designated Ismail Haniyeh, Harakat al-Sabireen, Liwa al Thawra, and Harakat Sawa’d Misr (HASM) as Specially Designated Global Terrorists under Section 1(b) of Executive Order (E.O.) 13224.

17 years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, most Americans are aware of the most notorious and violent of the Islamist groups, such as ISIS and al-Qaeda.  However, outside counterterrorism circles and the Washington Beltway, it is unlikely if Americans are aware of the worldwide Muslim Brotherhood movement.  And they are less likely to know how their former President advanced the Muslim Brotherhood movement and its supremacist agenda, here and abroad.

A specific document submitted into evidence during America's largest terrorist prosecution in U.S. federal court, U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation, et al, had a remarkable history.  When it was translated and published, the Muslim Brotherhood's Strategic Plan in America was entitled: An Explanatory Memorandum: On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America.  

That story began when the FBI’s Washington Field Office executed a search warrant of a home in Annandale, Virginia.  Within a hidden sub-basement were the archives of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America.  “Among the 80 banker-boxes worth of documents discovered there were papers that confirmed what investigators and counterterrorism experts had long suspected and contended about the myriad Muslim-American groups in the United States: nearly all of them are controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood.”  

The innocuous-sounding Explanatory Memorandum explained how the Muslim Brotherhood sought to extend sharia into the United States and Canada.  The document outlined “the mission of the Muslim Brother in North America” through an undated paper entitled “Phases of the World Underground Movement Plan.”  

Phase One: Phase of discreet and secret establishment of leadership.

The Congressional Black Caucus buried 2005 Obama-Farrakhan photo.  In 2018, photojournalist Askia Muhammad released a photo showing former President Barack Obama and the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan from Obama’s years as a state senator.  Referring to the possibility at the time that the young senator was being considered for a presidential run, Muhammad noted, “The Minister Farrakhan and his reputation would hurt someone trying to win acceptance in the broad cross-section.”  Noteworthy, Muhammad also said that “Obama had people from the Nation of Islam working on his staff and in his office in the Chicago, his Senate staff.  The members of the Nation of Islam helped him in his Senate campaign and on the South Side of Chicago.”  Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said that he would not have campaigned for the former Senator if he had known about the picture of Obama and Farrakhan.  One of the greatest powers the media have is their power to ignore.  Media suppression works.

A WikiLeaks-released email from John Podesta (a member of the Obama campaign’s transition team), was a bombshell.  Advisers to Obama’s presidential campaign were directed to choose Arab Muslims over Arab Christians for the top jobs. (Emphasis mine.)  This just doesn’t sound like the work of a Christian.  

Phase Two: Phase of gradual appearance on the public scene and exercising and utilizing various public activities.  Establishing a shadow government (secret) within the Government.

When President Bush was in the White House, he created the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.  The democrats and media lambasted the project and ridiculed him unmercifully.  When President Obama came into office, he quietly directed his cabinet to implement Muslim initiatives and outreach programs.  Congress became aware of the strategic plan when President Obama directed NASA administrator Charles Bolden that his highest priority should be “to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science...and math and engineering.”  NASA went on a Muslim hiring spree, as did other government agencies.  Government contracting offices insisted on companies to institute diversity hiring programs if the company wished to do business with the government. 

Sensitive and top-level government positions were filled by Muslims with questionable loyalties to the United States.  One of the FBI's former top experts on Islam announced that President Obama's pick to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, converted to Islam years ago.  Hillary Clinton's top campaign aide, Huma Abedin, edited a radical Muslim publication that blamed the U.S. for 9/11.  Syed Abedin, the father of Huma, outlined his M.B. view of sharia law and how the Western world has turned Muslims “hostile.”

Phase Three: Escalation phase, prior to conflict and confrontation with the rulers, through utilizing mass media.

With the election of President Obama in November 2008 and his Muslim Outreach initiatives, exemplified by his Cairo “A New Beginnings” speech at Al Azhar University, the Obama administration extended a formal welcome to the Muslim Brotherhood.  Investor's Business Daily noted a lengthy chronology of events in support of the Muslim Brotherhood, punctuated by the overthrow of the Mubarak regime in Egypt during the Arab Spring of 2011 that swept the Muslim Brotherhood into power.  Obama delivered his Cairo speech, infuriating Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak by inviting Muslim Brotherhood leaders to attend. 

In 2009, the White House invited the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) president to President Obama's inauguration ceremonies, even though the Justice Department just two years earlier had blacklisted the Brotherhood affiliate as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land trial.  There were hundreds of similar events and the leaders of the FBI and the intelligence community were silent.  They had been dispatched to execute Muslim outreach programs and they did.

Phase Four: Open public confrontation with government through exercising the political pressure approach.

President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton facilitated the overthrow of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.  They encouraged him to resign allowing the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood to fill the power vacuum.  The 2012 presidential election saw the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate, Mohamed Morsi, become Egypt’s first president to gain power through an election.  Just as he was supporting US counterterrorism efforts, Muamar Gaddafi was next to lose his position to a reinvigorated Muslim Brotherhood and he lost his life.

Phase Five: Seizing power to establish their Islamic Nation.

The enemy camp is the United States of America, and we are the targets of a stealthy jihad.  The Muslim Brotherhood's Strategic Plan is being implemented.  Barack Obama has planted the seeds of sharia wherever he goes.  Within eight years he enabled the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate the highest levels of the U.S. government by the thousands.  Infiltration would have been total with the election of Hillary Clinton and her Muslim Brotherhood proxy, Huma Abedin.

How did we get a Muslim in the White House?  Thank the media and their complete lack of researching and reporting on Barack Obama.  Who but a Muslim would ensure his congressional offices were staffed by Nation of Islam members?  Like the photo of Obama and Farrakhan that is something the media knew all too well but kept it under their kufi.

His favorite sound was the Call to Prayer.  No one ever questioned his Muslim faith.  There is no Christian on the planet who would ever make the “honest mistake” of saying “…so and so has never questioned my Zoroastrian faith.”  In the context of the Explanatory Memorandum, to the men and women of the Muslim Brotherhood he was “The One they have been waiting for.”  

And it all came to a stop with the election of President Donald J. Trump.

Is the former President the titular head of the Muslim Brotherhood?  How remarkable is it when you take the strategic plan of the MB and like a puzzle piece, look all over the planet for the right one that fits and it is right there in front of you.  Slightly covered up by other distracting pieces.  But it is there.  If not him then who?

How Fake News made a President, how they are trying to unmake President Trump

President Donald Trump continues to be hammered over his statement that the “fake news” is the “enemy of America.” 

Every time the President delivers his comments at a Trump Rally and pokes at the media as “the fake news,” the media become incensed and counterattacks, usually by rolling out their favorite go-to media whores, Senator Schumer or Rep Pelosi, for a sanctimonious rebuttal: “…suppression of a free press is how ‘dictators get started.’  We need a free press.”

More recently, the President’s “fake news” comments are considered by the media, collectively, as “dangerous,” as if SEAL Team snipers have been ordered to the rooftops of skyscrapers to pop those network stars who dared to criticize the President.

While the media has been generating and feeding Americans “fake news” for decades, they truly turned “fake news” into an art form with the 2007 elections.  Specifically, the media distorted and lied about the presidential candidates’ eligibility for President, under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.  Both Republican and Democrat candidates, Senators McCain and Obama.  Americans may be shocked to know that both candidates had “issues” with their eligibility but these issues were never fully explored or investigated, or accurately reported. 

Instead of researching and reporting the facts and circumstances regarding each candidate’s eligibility under Article II, any discussion devolved into deflections.  Newsrooms coordinated their efforts and avoided the facts.  The media created their own set of rules and definitions.  These fake news discussions were played out on network television, by vociferous partisan panel members.  Never was an immigration attorney consulted, never was a constitutional scholar consulted. 

The media had the same access to information as the general public.  Any competent and inquisitive journalist desiring to become a little smarter on the arcane and Article II topic of “natural born citizen” should have found a remarkable document, thanks to Al Gore’s amazing internet.

In her 1988 article, in the Yale Law Journal, The Natural-Born Citizen Clause and Presidential Eligibility: An Approach for Resolving Two Hundred Years of Uncertainty, law student Jill Pryor wrote, “It is well settled that ‘native-born’ citizens, those born in the United States, qualify as natural born.  It is also clear that persons born abroad of alien parents, who later become citizens by naturalization, do not.  But whether a person born abroad of American parents, or of one American and one alien parent, qualifies as natural born has never been resolved.”

In other words, for the 2007 election, Ms. Pryor’s article would suggest that the U.S. Constitution was sufficiently vague in two disparate areas: whether either John McCain, a person born abroad of American parents, or Barack Obama, a person born of one American and one alien parent, actually qualified as a “natural born citizen.” 

The media—and the DNC—understood the implications of Ms. Pryor’s article.  If or when tested by a federal court, there would likely be only one favorable outcome.  As plaintiff, John McCain, would most likely succeed in his lawsuit.  He should be considered “a natural born citizen,” as his parents would have likely given birth to John in America “but for” his parents’ assignment to Panama precluded him from being born in the United States.  Candidate John McCain was a “natural born citizen” although he was born in a foreign land.

On the other hand, Ms Pryor’s article suggests that if or when tested by a federal court, that a candidate like Barack Obama, a person born of one American and one alien parent, would not qualify as a natural born citizen.  The Supreme Court, in its due diligence, would research and acknowledge that the Founding Fathers created this “national rule” to prevent anyone from interpreting “natural born citizen” under common laws rules because it eliminated the possibility of a child being born with more than one claim of allegiance.  Simply, Barack Obama, with a Kenyan father and an American mother, was born to a parent who owed his allegiance to a foreign sovereignty, that the child was born under two constitutions of two nations, a “dual national,” and consequently subject to split allegiance.  The court would not rule in Mr. Obama’s favor.

Senator Barack Obama’s “untested” probable ineligibility to be President was a major problem for the Democrats and the media.  If he was to continue running for President, the only way to help Senator Obama cross the finish line was to ensure Senator McCain, the only person who had “standing” to bring a lawsuit, never filed a lawsuit challenging his opponent’s eligibility.  Congress proclaimed John McCain as a “natural born citizen” under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.  Congress was silent on Barack Obama’s eligibility other than to say the U.S. Constitution is vague.

The “fake news” marshalled their forces and asserted on television and in the print media a simple narrative, that Senator Obama was eligible to run for President, that he was “a natural born citizen” under Article II by virtue of being “naturally born in Hawaii.”  Whoopi Goldberg on The View said so, as did numerous others, thus it must have been true. 

It wasn’t until after the election that private citizen, Donald Trump, did what many skeptical Americans did at the time, he listened to the media that he was a part of and took the “fake news’” birth certificate “birther” bait. 

At some time during the Obama Administration, Donald Trump learned that the election of Barack Obama occurred because the Republicans and the Republican candidate had been either poorly informed or too cowardly to take Senator Obama to court.  During the presidential primaries, Candidate Trump threatened to sue Republican candidates, Senators Rubio and Cruz, over their questionable Article II eligibility. 

This unincorporated media amalgam we ascribe as “fake news” believes they made the election of Barack Obama possible.  By keeping him out of the judicial system and exposing his untested credentials, the “fake news” was able to carry and maintain an offsetting message, that questioning the eligibility of Barack Obama made one a vile racist.  This tactic worked well.

Now they believe they can unmake the election of President Trump.  The strategies the “fake news” perfected during the Obama campaign are being used by the media and the FBI to disqualify and remove President Trump by impeachment.  The bogus FBI-generated dossier is more “fake news.”

I am reminded of the oath I took as an officer in the Marine Corps.  The important part: I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. 

Who defines, “…enemies, foreign and domestic?”  “Fake news” redefined the term “natural born citizen” to suit their means and political goals.  It wasn’t the U.S. Supreme Court that debated and defined the constitutional term. 

It seems to me that when the free press “takes sides” and operates out of their charter as “the free press” and becomes “the fake news” by manufacturing lies and bogus documents, and actively conspiring with an opposition party to facilitate the overthrow of a duly elected President, the totality of their actions should to be reconsidered.  The Fourth Estate is not only engaged in partisan Fifth Column activities as an extension of the deep state’s intelligence community.  But the media has sent their version of SEAL Team Six into battle, to work clandestinely to politically assassinate their enemies.  Death by a thousand cuts.  The “fake news” is the Sixth Column—what we are witnessing is they are the resistance.  They function as the French Resistance functioned, cells were small groups of men and women who, in addition to their guerrilla warfare activities, were also publishers of underground newspapers.

The “fake news” views their work as fighting their enemy.  The media declared war on President Trump.  The “fake news” is the enemy of America.

I checked the Drudgereport and what do I see as one of their top stories:  Special Access....  No, not my book--not my blog.  The article: Facebook granted devices from Huawei, a Chinese telecom firm, Special Access to social data.  
This is exactly why I dumped facebook.

I've shut down my facebook page.  For those of you who received the notification, "Welcome to Special Access."  Here you can find information on my novels, children's books, and articles from American Thinker as well as other things that readers with Special Access can find (maybe) nowhere else.  Such as:

My fifth novel, "Wet Works," the manuscript has been sent to the Publication Review Board.  Hopefully it will be returned within a month or two without redactions.

Wet Work is a euphemism for murder or assassination, alluding to the "spilling of blood."  These government operations are reputed to have been handled at the KGB by Spetsbureau 13, colorfully known as the "Department of Wet Affairs" or simply the "13th Directorate."

The Russian expression "wet job"can be traced to at least the 19th century from Russian criminal slang and originally meant robbery that involved murder, i.e., spilling blood.
