US Struggles to Install Proxy “Brotherhood” in Egypt
Tony Cartalucci at Infowars.com
Were anyone to still believe the rhetoric of the so-called “Arab
Spring,” one would be admittedly confused over the emerging political
landscape in Egypt where the military establishment and the Muslim
Brotherhood have emerged from what was supposedly a “pro-democracy”
“popular uprising.”
However, if anyone understood that the “pro-democracy” protesters
were in fact US State Department-funded, trained, and equipped mobs
providing cover for the attempted installation of the Muslim Brotherhood
amongst many other potential Western proxies, the current political
battle would make perfect sense.

Brotherhood’s current presidential candidate. As evidence continues to
mount against the Brotherhood, implicating them as overt proxies of
Western foreign policy, their credibility took another blow as the US
State Department’s April 6 Movement endorsed Morsi. Below, Egypt’s youth
are once again duped by Western propaganda and fellow Egyptians
conspiring against their own nation and people.
….
The Egyptian military, like in many developing nations, may accept
money from the West,
may train with Western forces,
and may even
participate in Western machinations of global domination,
but are
ultimately nationalists with the means and motivation to draw lines and
check the West’s ambitions within Egypt and throughout Egypt’s sphere of
influence.
The necessity for the West of removing not only Hosni
Mubarak who had refused to participate in a wider role against Iraq and
Iran, but the grip of the military itself over Egyptian politics and
replacing it with the Muslim Brotherhood who is already hard at work in
Syria attempting to overthrow one of Iran’s primary regional allies, is
paramount.
“Pro-democracy” movements, particularly
the April 6 youth movement, trained, funded, and equipped by the US
State Department, serve the sole purpose of giving the Muslim
Brotherhood’s installation into power a spin of “legitimacy” where
otherwise none exists. Those within these “pro-democracy” movements with
legitimate intentions will be inevitably disappointed if not entirely
thrown under the wheels of Western machinations as regional war aimed at
destroying Iran, Syria, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah arch of influence
slowly unfolds.
Muslim Brotherhood were, are, and will be Western Proxies
Despite the Brotherhood’s lofty rhetoric, it has from its inception
been a key proliferator of Western foreign policy.
Currently, the Syrian
arm of the Muslim Brotherhood has been involved heavily, leading in
fact, the US, Israeli, Saudi, and Qatari-backed sectarian violence that
has been ravaging Syria for over a year. In a
May 6, 2012 Reuters article it stated:
“Working quietly, the Brotherhood has been financing Free Syrian Army defectors based in Turkey and channeling money and supplies to Syria, reviving their base among small Sunni farmers and middle class Syrians, opposition sources say.”
While Reuters categorically fails to explain the “how” behind the
Brotherhood’s resurrection, it was revealed in a 2007 New Yorker article
titled, “The
Redirection” by Seymour Hersh, as being directly backed by the US
and Israel who were funneling support through the Saudis so as to not
compromise the “credibility” of the so-called “Islamic” movement. Hersh
revealed that members of the Lebanese Saad Hariri clique, then led by
Fouad Siniora, had been the go-between for US planners and the Syrian
Muslim Brotherhood.
Hersh reports the Lebanese Hariri faction had met Dick Cheney in
Washington and relayed personally the importance of using the Muslim
Brotherhood in Syria in any move against the ruling government:
“[Walid] Jumblatt then told me that he had met with Vice-President Cheney in Washington last fall to discuss, among other issues, the possibility of undermining Assad. He and his colleagues advised Cheney that, if the United States does try to move against Syria, members of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood would be “the ones to talk to,” Jumblatt said.” -The Redirection, Seymour Hersh
The article would continue by explaining how already in 2007, US and
Saudi backing had begun benefiting the Brotherhood:
“There is evidence that the Administration’s redirection strategy has already benefitted the Brotherhood. The Syrian National Salvation Front is a coalition of opposition groups whose principal members are a faction led by Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former Syrian Vice-President who defected in 2005, and the Brotherhood. A former high-ranking C.I.A. officer told me, “The Americans have provided both political and financial support. The Saudis are taking the lead with financial support, but there is American involvement.” He said that Khaddam, who now lives in Paris, was getting money from Saudi Arabia, with the knowledge of the White House. (In 2005, a delegation of the Front’s members met with officials from the National Security Council, according to press reports.) A former White House official told me that the Saudis had provided members of the Front with travel documents.” -The Redirection, Seymour Hersh
It was warned that such backing would benefit the Brotherhood as a
whole, not just in Syria, and could effect public opinion even as far as
in Egypt where a long battle against the hardliners was fought in order
to keep Egyptian governance secular. Clearly the Brotherhood did not
spontaneously rise back to power in Syria, it was resurrected by US,
Israeli, and Saudi cash, weapons and directives.
And most recently, as the West frequently does before elections it
wishes to manipulate, premature claims by the Muslim Brotherhood of a
victory during a presidential runoff were made headlines by the Western
media in an effort to portray the Brotherhood as the victors and lay the
groundwork for contesting any results other than a decisive win for the
West’s proxy of choice.
US State
Department-run Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty’s (RFE/RL) “Muslim
Brotherhood Declares Victory In Egypt Election,” amongst many other
articles attempted to give readers the impression that the Muslim
Brotherhood had indeed already won the election. In reality the official
tallies had yet to be given and it was merely the Brotherhood’s own
rhetoric upon which the report was based. As
election results were finalized, and the Brotherhood’s candidate,
theUS-educated
Muhammad Morsi, appeared not to have the decisive victory claimed
by his party and the Western media, immediately accusations of voter
fraud were leveled against the Egyptian government.

….
The West is
already combining its various proxy fronts for what it sees as a
pivotal showdown and perhaps another opportunity to overthrow any
remaining nationalist tendencies within the Egyptian military. Despite
the Muslim Brotherhood, allegedly being a theocratic sectarian party,
the antithesis of what the secular April 6 Movement allegedly stood for,
Ahmed Maher, the movement’s founder threw
his full support behind the Brotherhood.
Maher it should be remembered, had
been in the US, Serbia, and back again to the US for a series of
training and networking opportunities arranged by the US State
Department before during and after the so-called “Arab Spring.” What
seemed like politically ideological opposites, between April 6 and the
Muslim Brotherhood, in fact share a common denominator – they are
instruments executing Western foreign policy.
Libya, Egypt, Syria and Beyond to Form United Front Against
Iran
Weakening Egypt before NATO’s assault on Libya was a crucial step in
ensuring the latter’s absolute destruction and the creation of what is
now a Libyan terror-emirate shipping cash, weapons, and fighters east
and west to destabilize and overthrow various governments on the
Anglo-American’s long “to-do” list. The West’s ability to install a
Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt, with it’s substantial regional
standing and influence would be a serious blow not only to Syria, but to
Iran as well. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is
already echoing calls by the US and Israel for “intervention” in
Syria.
Along with Libya, Egypt and of course the Gulf States of Saudi
Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and with the possibility of the Brotherhood
coming to power in Syria as well, a
united front against Iran would be formed and prepared to fight a
proxy war on the West’s behalf against the Islamic Republic.
Such a reordering has not only been mapped out in US foreign policy
documents like Brookings Institution’s “Which
Path to Persia?” report, but
mirror designs against China where all of Southeast Asia is slated
for destabilization, regime change, and realignment to carry out the
West’s ambitions to contain and even collapse a rising China.
