Egypt May Outlaw Muslim Brotherhood

 Community Policing -Egyptian Style

The Muslim brotherhood has always had a rocky relationship with the Egyptian military. And since the Brothers won the last election, it has gotten worse... much worse.

Our current government loves to deal with terrorists by giving them what they want.

The Egyptian military isn't buying it.
CAIRO (AP) - Egyptian authorities are considering disbanding the Muslim Brotherhood group, a government spokesman said Saturday, once again outlawing a group that held the pinnacle of government power just more than a month earlier.

The announcement comes after security forces broke up two sit-in protests this week by those calling for the reinstatement of President Mohammed Morsi, a Brotherhood leader deposed in a July 3 coup. The clashes killed more than 600 people that day and sparked protests and violence that killed 173 people Friday alone.

Cabinet spokesman Sherif Shawki said that Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, who leads the military-backed government, assigned the Ministry of Social Solidarity to study the legal possibilities of dissolving the group. He didn't elaborate.

[...]The fundamentalist group has been banned for most of its 80-year history and repeatedly subjected to crackdowns under Mubarak's rule. While sometimes tolerated and its leaders part of the political process, members regularly faced long bouts of imprisonment and arbitrary detentions.
Since the Brotherhood came to prominence after the last election, Egypt has been embroiled in social upheaval. Since the so called Arab Spring, the world has witnessed the same violence propagated by Islamic terrorists in Libya, Syria and Tunisia. They murdered our ambassador in Benghazi and we still have yet to hear the full story behind it.

The Obama administration has turned a blind eye to this. Egyptian generals have not, and they have good reason to intervene.

From USA Today:
One in five Egyptians live in poverty in a country where the estimated per-capita income was $6,200 last year, according to the CIA's The World Factbook.

And tourism, which provides jobs to 2 million Egyptians, represents 11% of the nation's economic output. In 2009, it brought in $10.8 billion, according to Egyptian Tourism Ministry figures.

In 2010, 15 million tourists traveled to Egypt, 362,000 of them from the U.S., according to the Egyptian Tourist Authority.

The unemployment rate for Egyptians aged 15 to 24 is almost 25%. Almost 50% of their GDP is based on services and much of that is dependent upon maintaining a healthy tourism traffic.

Last year the Egyptian government spent over $27 billion more than it took in. It's deficit is 11% of its GDP and inflation is more than three times that of the US. Their largest trading partner is China. Tourism is their major source of  foreign currency.

IMHO, the Egyptian military is very concerned about the Muslim Brotherhood doing more than just expressing their insane hatred of Israel. As a neighbor of Israel, I believe that the generals are thinking that their peaceful relationship with their powerful neighbor is about to end. And that would be disastrous for a nation that is already on very shaky economic grounds. They respect the prowess of the IDF and obviously have no respect for American leadership nor for our leader.

Tourism is absolutely vital to Egypt and radical Islam is antithetical to tourism. Plus they have no desire to get their asses handed to them when Israel responds to Islamofacist provocations that are sure to come.

Do the math. Historically, killing a few thousand Muslims never seemed to bother Muslims. They do it all the time.

Egyptian Army Promises To Rebuild Coptic Churches

The Obama administration backed the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Morsi in the recent Egyptian elections and is now playing slap-tickle-hide-the-pickle with General Abdel Fattah el-Sissi. But General Sisi doesn't play with terrorists nor does he play with weak American Presidents.
Western allies warned Egypt's military leaders right up to the last minute against using force to crush protest sit-ins by supporters of the ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi, arguing they could ill afford the political and economic damage.

A violent end to a six-week standoff between Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and the armed forces that toppled Egypt's first freely elected president seemed likely once the new authorities declared last week that foreign mediation had failed.

But the United States and the European Union continued to send coordinated messages to army commander General Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Interim Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei during the four-day Eid al-Fitr Muslim holiday that ended on Sunday, pleading for a negotiated settlement, Western diplomats said.

"We had a political plan that was on the table, that had been accepted by the other side (the Muslim Brotherhood)," said EU envoy Bernardino Leon, who co-led the mediation effort with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns.
The position taken by the US government is: Waaaahhhhhh! We talked to the terrorists and they liked us! They really, really liked us! And you don't like us! Waaaaahhhhh!
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was unusually forthright in condemning the imposition of a state of emergency - a throwback to the nearly 30 years of authoritarian rule under U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak, toppled by a popular uprising in 2011.
News flash for our SecState! While Europe (inhabited mostly by Christians) evolved into democratic forms of government, the Near East (inhabited mostly by inbred Muslims) was under autocratic rule since ... ooh 700 AD or thereabouts. Remember the Ottomans (the Turks, not the foot rests)?

And of course let's just ignore the fact that the "democratic" supporters of Morsi are burning dozens of Christian Coptic churches and massacring their parishioners. After all, they're just acting out what the Democrats in America are thinking.

And while the America SecState ignores the pillaging of the Coptics by radical Muslims, General Sisi has already responded:
The Egyptian defense minister has ordered the repair and reconstruction of all churches that suffered damage in the country’s violent demonstrations since the Egyptian military removed President Mohamed Morsi from power last month.

Defense minister Col. Gen. Abdel Fattah El-Sisi intends to fix the damage to Coptic churches at Rabaa Adaweya and Nahda squares, according to a report by the Mid-East Christian News.

Dozens of churches were attacked and burned in riots after thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Cairo and other Egyptian cities to demand the end of what they call military rule, following the removal of Morsi on July 3. Many of Morsi's supporters have voiced criticism at Egypt's Christian minority for largely supporting the military's decision to oust him from office.

“The Egyptian defense minister ordered the engineering department of the armed forces to swiftly repair all the affected churches, in recognition of the historical and national role played by our Coptic brothers,” read a statement that aired on Egyptian television.

Bishop Mousa thanked Sisi for his efforts to repair the damaged churches.

“We thank Col. Gen. Sisi for commissioning the brave Egyptian armed forces to rebuild the places of worship damaged during the recent events,” Bishop Mousa said on Twitter.

Sandra Fluke: 1001 Uses For Birth Control

Sandra Fluke has written a new contraceptive cookbook, "The Womb Broom Cookbook: 1001 Dietary Uses For Birth Control". The book promises to be a hit as Ms. Fluke carefully examines alternative uses for free birth control devices that she hopes will be provided by the taxpayers of America. Since it's free, let's make the best of it!

So here is a teaser, a salacious selection of delightful and insightful (and downright yummy!) contraceptive culinary concepts bought to you (hopefully!) by Congress!

Estrogen Egg Creme
Directions: Cover the bottom of a fountain glass with an inch of chocolate syrup, add an inch of whole milk and then slowly pour in soda water until it is an inch below the lip of the glass. Stir well with a long spoon. Now crush an entire month's worth of combined oral contraceptive pills (COCP) - the 21 pill pack is best - and sprinke them liberally over the top of the egg cream. Delicious! For those of you who favor a "sweet womb" use the 28 day pill pack as seven days are sugar placebos!


What's in the "creamer" you may ask. That's Sandy's Secret Egg Creme Sauce! Buy the book (or date her boyfriend) to find out!

Captain Condom
Directions: Place the contents of a 21 pill COCP pack into a plastic Baggie™ or a used condom and cover the pills with one quarter cup of butterscotch syrup. Seal and marinate for 24 hours in your refrigerator. Pour one cup of your favorite cereal into a bowl and add 2% milk to taste. Empty the Baggie™ into the bowl or just throw the entire condom in. Enjoy!



Reproductive Justice Julep
The key to a good reproductive justice julep? The answer is two-fold: lots and lots (and lots!) of good bourbon and fresh contraceptive implants. Make this classic accompaniment to a rousing porno flick any time you find yourself in possession of supremely fresh implants and a desire to kick back and slowly, ever-so-slowly, sip a cocktail (hee hee). I recommend good company (maybe one or two or three?) and a soft sofa as the best companions to this mild-sounding but placenta-pounding drink. After three or four of these the front lawn or the hood of your Prius will do.

Directions:
Take about 20 fresh Norplant™ or Implanon™ contraceptive implants and put them in two fingers (or three!) of bourbon. Let them sit for a half hour, the alcohol will dissolve the implant hormones and put them into a heavenly bourbon suspension. You can leave the implant carriers in as they look like miniature cinnamon sticks! Then simply add a crushed 28 pill COCP package - you'll want that extra sugar! - and plenty of crushed ice. Stir until an icy frost develops on the outside of the glass (this will be more obvious and apparent on a metal cup than on glass, but after a few more fingers of bourbon, who cares?). Serve immediately.


Be sure to check your neighborhood Barnes & Nobles for this amazing book! You'll find it in the Socialism aisle between the Baby Killing and Euthanasia sections.

Our Impoverished Congress

Congressional leaders haven't had a raise? God forbid.
WASHINGTON - Haven't had a raise in a while? Well, neither has your member of Congress.

This month, congressional salaries slid to their lowest inflation-adjusted levels since December 1990.

When congressional approval ratings are at historic lows, congressional pay - $174,000 for rank-and-file senators and House members - may seem high. But some argue that shrinking paychecks for public service perpetuates a political culture where mostly the rich can afford to serve in office.

Members of Congress have to maintain households in two locations, one being Washington, one of the most expensive housing markets in the country even for rentals.
Solution: subsidized Congressional public housing, the exact same kind of dumps they provide for poor Americans. Every third occupant must be a crack whore or a drug dealer. That's OK. No need to thank me.
While lawmakers' relative pay is declining, their wealth is increasing: Many in Congress have vast personal wealth. Since 1992, according to Stanford University and the Center for Responsive Politics, congressional net worth increased significantly. Average American household net worth during that time declined. Yet average net worth among freshman members first elected last November stands at more than a million dollars.
Solution: Charge every Congressman $174,000 a year for the privilege of serving their Country. They'd still be worth more than 95% of their constituencies.

Better yet, place Congressional salaries on a merit or performance based scale. We do good, you do good. We have to suck it up, so do you. Under the Constitution, Congress is responsible for administering the nations currency system, It abdicated this responsibility in 1913 when the Federal Reserve system was created. It's time to make them responsible again.

From the Harvard Journal of Public Law & Policy:
[...]The truth is that we have been drifting away from the Framers’ vision for a very long time. Even before the economic crash of 2008, we did not have anything resembling a truly free economy.
One of the most important sectors of the economy, the banking sector, was already quasi‐socialist or corporatist. The Federal Reserve, with its monopoly powers and its chairman and governors appointed by the President, has been an extraconstitutional branch of government since its creation in 1913.

The bailouts, and the government ownership that has come with them, are a direct result of the Federal Reserve’s policies. At the same time, this government body has been eroding Americans’ capacity for self‐government by forcing them to adjust their lives to an overall inflationary economy.

This is a vicious cycle: The central bank creates a series of booms and busts that makes business planning very difficult. As a result, more and more businesses fail and turn to government for bailouts. The public is told that capitalism is to blame and becomes accustomed to the idea that only government is capable of long-term planning. When the next bust hits, the cycle repeats.

Look at the following chart and see how well Congress and the Federal Reserve have been doing w/r/t the economy.


The chart shows the 1988 to 2010 change in the number of businesses that have one or more employees (employers) and the 1997 to 2010 change in the number of businesses who have no employees (nonemployers). While employers who create jobs have increased from about 4.75 million to maybe 5.6 million (an increase of 18%) , the number of nonemployers have increase by 64%, from 14 million to about 23 million.

Nice work Congress, you're fired.

Note: I'm  having trouble linking to the pdf that contains the above chart. It is from the US Small Business Administration's FAQ for September, 2012.

UPDATE:
Okay, it is here.

Penn & Teller On The 2nd Amendment




Evolution v. God

The authof of this video interviewed professors, experts and students at UCLA. He asked them to prove that Darwinian evolution (i.e., macro-evolution) is true. The results are interesting, they had nothing...

It’s really simple.

Our inalienable rights are predicated on the existence of a Creator. No Creator, no inalienable rights. No inalienable rights, goom bye America. Welcome to the gulag. This is why statists - commies and socialists - fight Christianity at every turn. The State must be supreme or else those pesky citizens start demanding things - like freedom. Stupid citizens, subjects don't need freedom.

“Rights? Rights? I got to give you no steeking rights!”
~ Barack Obama

Extraordinary Times Call For Extraordinary Measures


It's magic! The Obama administration has found a way to stabilize America's debt!
(CNSNews.com) - The Treasury Department's Financial Management Service (FMS), which publishes both the federal government's official Daily Treasury Statement and its official Monthly Treasury Statement, is reporting that in July the federal government ran a deficit of $98 billion but that the federal government's debt remained exactly $16,699,396,000,000 for the entire month.

The FMS said that the deficit went up $98 billion ($97,594,000,000) in the Monthly Treasury Statment for July, which it released on Monday.

At the same time, the FMS said the debt stayed at exactly $16,699,396,000,000 in its Daily Treasury Statements, which are published every business day. The Daily Treasury Statements show the daily value of the federal government debt that is subject to a legal limit set by Congress.

t the static $16,699,396,000,000 level that the Treasury reported for every day of July, the debt was just $25 million below the legal limit of $16,699,421,000,000 that was set in a law passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama.
It's a miracle! SHAZAAM!
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)have been abandoned in favor of magic.
On May 17, the first day the Treasury reported that the debt had hit exactly $16,699,396,000,000--and was thus just $25 million below the legal limit--Treasury Secretary Lew sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner saying he was beginning to implement what he called "the standard set of extraordinary measures" to prevent the Treasury from exceeding the legal limit on the federal debt.
Or has Moochelle finally learned how to shake her money maker?
Since Lew sent that letter--announcing that he would use "extraordinary measures"--the debt has remained stuck at exactly $16,699,396,000,000 for 87 straight days.

That includes all 31 days in July when Lew's Treasury says it was running a $98 billion deficit.
From now on, Muslims will also be magically integrated into our American culture, healthcare magicians will replace doctors and nurses and our military will be issued Wands of Mass Destruction.

Seal Team 6: Why I Had To Change My Heart Meds

I am so utterly sick of the way the mass media protects Chicago Jesus. The scandals are non-stop yet he cruises from one vacation to another,from one round of golf to another without a bleat from the 1st Amendment Idiot Children who staff newsrooms all over the country. My blood boils and I have to step back.

Many of us have heard the back story behind the loss of Seal Team 6 on that ill fated helicopter. Congress is finally acting on behalf of the grieving families but I have no confidence that the Republicans will shed any tight on this. Too bad George Zimmerman wasn't involved in that fiasco, then maybe the government would get off its ass.

Read Arnold Ahlert's article on this in Front Page Magazine:
In a story that has remained largely under the mainstream media radar, Congress announced late last month that it would finally investigate the Aug. 6, 2011 helicopter crash in Afghanistan that resulted in 38 deaths, including 22 members of SEAL Team 6, made famous three months earlier when they killed Osama Bin Laden. Grieving family members insist that soldiers in the elite unit were placed in unnecessary danger by the recklessness of the Obama administration, whose actions they characterized as criminal. “We’re going to dive into this,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on National Security.
Biden shoots his mouth off and identifies that particular Team in violation of just about every security protocol there is, the flight recorder is "lost," the soldiers' bodies are cremated eliminating any chance of an autopsy and the families are being stonewalled by the Administration.
[...]the families want to know why their sons were flown into a hot combat zone in a helicopter made in the 1960s. They want to know why such a large group of SEALS was put on a single aircraft and why no aerial backup was deployed, which is standard military procedure when special forces are involved. And they want to know why, during a funeral ceremony held at Bagram Air Base in Kabul, a Muslim cleric was allowed to recite a prayer condemning the American “infidels” to eternal damnation.
Another two years of this jackhole in the White House and I'll need a pacemaker.

16" Guns



During Desert Storm, the Iowa class battleships would send drones out for ranging information. Iraqis would try to surrender to the drones rather than face a salvo of 2,000 pound HE shells.

Yes, it's old technology, it's expensive, yada yada - but I still think we should keep them around.

Just in case...

Islam - Now You Know


"The reason Columbus headed West was because the Muslims had blocked all trade routes to the East. Yet, we are never told this."

The above was written by Mike Konrad in a very interesting piece in the America Thinker.

Just think of it, America's purple mountains' majesty and fruited plains are ours because Mohammed's successors gave Europeans a hard time getting their tea.

[...]Shortly before he died in June 632 AD, Mohammed ordered Muslims to prepare to wage war against the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire.

Upon his death, Mohammed's successor, Abu Bakr, planned to fulfill those instructions. Plans were also made to conquer Zoroastrian Sassanid Persia.

This vainglorious troop of bandits should have been easily dispatched,

However. Persia and Byzantine Rome had just come out of a savagely vicious war which ended in 628 AD. Emperor Heraclius had finally imposed the total defeat over Persia that had eluded the earlier Roman Republic and the Caesars -- but Byzantine Rome, though victorious, was severely mauled. Persia was reduced to a state of anarchy; and forced to pay indemnities to Constantinople.

The Persian and Eastern Roman empires were attacked almost simultaneously around 633 AD, while both were still licking their wounds. So frightening were the Islamic advances that these former blood enemies made a sadly futile alliance. By 644, Persia fell anyway.

By 634 AD, Byzantine Palestine and Syria were being attacked. The Battle of Yarmouk in August 636 AD would see Eastern Roman forces beaten. Emperor Heraclitus, the victorious warrior, a mere 8 years earlier, would have to sneak out back to Constantinople in a boat.
The rest of the article is well worth reading as it castigates those who would rewrite history to make Islam the victim of Christian (specifically Catholic) excesses. That is just not the case. The Crusades were a reaction to the Muslim invasion of Europe, it took Christian Europe over 900 years to reverse the process at the Battle of Vienna in 1683. We celebrate the 330th anniversary of that victory on September 12th.

In my mind, nothing ever occurs in a vacuum. Jesus was crucified, suffering under a Roman method of execution. Paul was sent to Rome, the capital of the Empire, because he appealed to Caesar as a Roman citizen after being arrested. Christianity would never have spread as far and as fast as it did if the Roman Empire did not exist to provide a safe transportation and commercial network that encompassed nearly a quarter of the world's population. Until the invention of the steam engine, no one traveled faster than the Romans. Their roads are still being used today.

And so it is with Islam. Six hundred years after His death, our Savior provided the circumstances under which a band of murderous thieves initiated a religion that has grown to over a billion and a half souls. We may ask why and bemoan the apparent capriciousness of these events, but still we trust Him. The entire universe is subject to His will and so are the Muslims.

Eph. 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.


I fear we are concentrating on the wrong targets.

Home | Islamic Emergency Defence

I told we were in trouble, didn't I? England as you and I knew it is vanishing rapidly under the weight of  immigration.  Despite the fact that white English folk are a minority in many of our large Cities, (HERE and HERE), combined with growing evidence of white-flight into rural areas (LINK), our government still insists on spending our taxes, not on transport infrastructure, not on Defence and not on our State education system. Instead it diverts funds to so-called 'charities' and ethnic minority interest groups.

I'm wondering how long it will be before the English themselves become a 'minority interest group'. That sounds like hyperbole but it isn't; we're a small country and we can't absorb such a high rate of immigration over such a short period. In 2010 alone England experienced more immigration than between 1066 and 1950 (LINK) - that's colonisation and genocide in anyone's book.  No wonder the country is silently imploding as the majority sit back, watch the show and have a nice cup of tea.
