In his latest interview with Judge Napolitano, Colonel MacGregor continues to get Egypt wrong. It's unbelievable to me the degree to which he is uninformed about Egypt. For instance, he stated, again, what he has maintained all along, namely, that the US did not want the Muslim Brotherhood in power, when it patently foisted the MBs on Egypt and forced the Egyptian Judicial Council to declare Morsi the winner of the presidential election of 2012 ahead of schedule: Despite H. Clinton's machinations meant to ensure that the MB candidate would have no viable opposition in that election, thus paving for him a clear path to victory, Morsi won with only a razor-thin margin, that's if he actually won, which is debatable. Indeed, many Egyptians believe that Morsi lost. However, due to the US intimidation of the army generals and support for the Muslim Brotherhood, the transitional Military Council (put in place post-Mubarak) had no choice but to do the US's bidding, declaring Morsi president. The ousting of Morsi in 2013 angered the Americans and the EU, a period I remember very distinctly: daily emissaries from the CW would arrive in Cairo to threaten the Egyptian government and state, demanding the release from jail of prominent Muslim Brotherhood leaders, etc.

During the rest of Obama's time in power, the White House and the State Department were at war with Egypt, and American think tanks like the Brookings Institute and its hack Shadi Hamed, along with every Western NGO under the sun, spent $$$, time and effort to demonize and destabilize the Egyptian state and Sisi. Western politicians, even ones no longer in office, homesteaded on Twitter campaigning against Egypt, prominent among whom were Carl Bildt and BHL.

Weeks before Biden assumed power, he made an outrageous public statement saying that one of his first actions once in office would be to oust Sisi. Remember that the Obama administration and the H. Clinton staff were swarming with self-avowed Muslim Brothers and/or their affiliates, like Huma Abdin and Co. The same happened in Canada once Trudeau became PM. [In passing, I'll just add that the Minister of Transportation in Canada during Covid, who slammed on millions of us, unvaxxed, a travel ban, was a Syrian-born, Saudi-bred weasel from the Brotherhood.]

Trump was less favourable towards the Muslim Brotherhood. However, the antipathy towards the Egyptian army remained. And what did Biden in the dying days of his administration do in terms of actions against Egypt? As of yesterday, the US has levied sanctions on the Egyptian army, claiming that Egypt has revoked the Camp David Accord, a claim being repeated ad nauseam in the Israeli press, probably paving the way for a war aimed to take over Sinai and the Suez Canal, a dream the colonial powers never relinquished.

Here is a CNN article from 2012 that takes us back to the real US schemes in the aftermath of the "Arab Spring/Nightmare" of that period. The CW wanted Egypt to end up in the tight grip of the Islamists whom they have aided and abetted everywhere else in the region, as the latters have always been traitors to their respective nations and willing accomplices to the Neocolonial powers. A few months prior to his ousting, Morsi drove around the Cairo Stadium in Nasser's historic car and made a speech in which he declared that he would send Egyptian youth to fight alongside ISIS in Syria to topple Assad. That was what the US had asked him to do. In the opinion of many, that speech and that intention ultimately proved his undoing.

Join Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Today 29th July 2026 at 14:00 EDT, 19:00 London time

I am fully recovered from last week's infection, save for a stubborn cough, and looking forward to our Stream today.

A lot is going on.

In Ukraine big Russian breakthroughs and the closure of Ukraine's Black Sea ports inflicting catastrophic damage on its economy. Meanwhile Ukraine's drone offensive is becoming less effective and more openly terroristic. Not a word about any of this in the Western MSM where they are still plugging the fiction of Ukraine 'turning the tide' and 'regaining the initiative'. In Ukraine itself they know better, which is the real reason for the sacking of the people who were supposedly running Ukraine's war - Fedorov, Syrsky and Gnatov - until just 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, but predictably, the people who are taking over - Khama, Drapaty, Poklad - all come from the darkest corners of Ukraine's ultra nationalist/neo Nazi/criminal underworld, whilst the shadow of Azov and its sinister leader Andrey Biletsky grows ever longer.

As for the other war - ...

So the EU is getting new Euro bills?

And the people don’t even get a voice in it!
Well as soon as Elensky joins the team he’ll probably want his ugly mug on a bill too…

Looks just about right

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
