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.

Once again there is no shortage of things to discuss, from the political 'crisis' in Britain (theatre mostly IMHO), to the standstill in the US Iran negotiations and to the war in Ukraine.

The latter in my opinion is the most important topic. Literally without exception everyone I talked to in Russia about the war told me that they see the war not as a conflict between Russia and Ukraine but as another in the seemingly endless succession of wars against Russia by the West. The latest comments by Putin suggest he thinks the same thing.

If this is indeed an actual military conflict between the West and Russia, a West Russia war in fact, and not just a proxy war, of the sort we used to see during the Cold War, then that of course has enormous, and ominous, implications.

Much therefore to talk about.

A good one!

New Count CONFIRMS 680,000 Dead In Gaza! w/ Kyle Anzalone

(Except I knew this more than 2 months ago, peer reviewed and published in a medical journal)
When will the a++hole goyim finally absorb the BASIC/FUNDAMENTAL truth:
(A Proper) Jew is religiously bound to lie to goyim (who seem just as religiously bound to be dense).
So, on Sep6/23, the stories of Moozlums decapitating jew babies, by the thousands—translation—exactly what Jews are planning for Gaza. The world's most moral army, staffed by the world's most moral people, mostly out of Brooklyn, NY, because "American" Jews are much more likely to serve in IDF than in American combat units, so much for even "dual" loyalty.
More like null-loyalty, stuff that in your pipe and smoke it, while listening to the timeless beauty of Neil Diamond's Kol Nidre.

I once again wish to stress to thinking people this basic fact: A Jew is either a Jew, ...
