SPECIAL REPORT. Obama's gambit: Holding Egypt for Holder

Editor’s Note: For eleven days now, citizens of Egypt have taken to the streets demanding the removal of their repressive dictator Hosni Mubarak. Today, they are protesting in front of the Presidential Palace. The people of Egypt want this man gone and who can blame them after living under such oppressive tyranny for nearly 30 years. By all accounts from reputable journalists, not the propaganda talking heads, the United States appartchik has played a rather significant role in training, mobilizing and funding the youth of Egypt to rise up and demand Mubarak’s immediate departure (see Archives of Daily Specials to read the numerous articles detailing the US involvement). Yet, when the protests heated up the US started playing footsie with these citizens lives, 300 dead and counting,  rather than taking a principled position and practicing what they preach ad nauseum – “We are committed to building democracies around the globe thereby giving the people their rights and freedom.”

So why the footsie game? Could the US appatchik be stalling the removal of their puppet Mubarak for other nefarious reasons?  Many “real” journalists are avid students of the history of US relations with Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen to name a few, and are offering thoughtful insights. However, few appear to be connecting the US apparatchiks torture and rendition policies, beginning in the nineties, to the current US double talk. Following are two reports:  first is a recent report produced by Global Reports detailing “Obama’s block on the US Torture Probe” and, the second, a “Special Report-Obama’s gambit: Holding Egypt for Holder” by investigative journalist Wayne Madsen of Wayne Madsen Reports. Maybe these two well founded and documented reports will shed some light on the very real reasons for the US Appartchik’s current double talk.

Wayne Madsen Reports

by Wayne Madsen

WMR has learned from a well-informed political insider that President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have waffled on support for Egypt’s pro-democracy revolution in order to safeguard a covert U.S.-Egyptian rendition and torture program that dates back to the Clinton administration. In fact, Clinton’s Deputy Attorney General, Eric Holder, now Obama’s Attorney General, was the first Department of Justice official to write a legal brief authorizing the rendition of alleged terrorists from third countries by the CIA to Egypt for purposes of interrogation and torture.

RT: Egypt protests baffle mainstream media outlets in the US

A better way to put it – Lamestream media is doesn’t want American’s to wake up to the fact that our country is knee deep in empire building and people across the globe have had enough! If you are still watching lamestream media outlets to get your news, well, enjoy the propaganda.

c/p Wayne Madsen Report: January 31, 2011 — Museum looting and a major information war raging with Wikileaks and the corpo-media

One thing is always true of the kleptocratic syndicate that runs Israel: never let a crisis go to waste. The “made for television” looting of the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo, a museum established in 1902 to stem the tide of the systematic theft of Egyptian historical artifacts and relics by unscrupulous western nations, including Britain, may have masked the behind-the-scenes pillaging of artifacts located in museum store rooms, well-beyond the view of visitors.
Viewers of the televised scenes of the looting of the museum on Mariette Pasha Street on Tahrir Square saw roughly ten artifacts lying on the floor, along with broken glass display cases. Oddly, no artifacts from the public galleries were reported stolen. There was a report that the heads of two mummies were removed, but not robbed. Egyptian protesters formed a human chain around the museum in order to protect it from further pillaging. Later, it was reported that some of the “looters” at the museum were actually Egyptian security policem asquerading as looters. Or were they?” [Read more…]

Time for some sunshine on the "shadow government mob"

This is one of those days where a diluge of information spills forth on several old and “breaking” news stories, but the story below is simply mind blowing. It’s one that I stumbled upon several years ago, quite by accident, when I started on my personal journey to learn what the bloody hell was going on in my country.

Back then, I knew prior to the 2008 General Election that Barack H. Obama was ineligible to serve as President under Article II of the US Constitution. Due to my concern, I phoned my friend, who also served as Virginia’s Secretary of the State Board of Elections, to learn what steps the state was taking to ensure Obama’s constitutional eligibility in order to be placed on Virginia’s General Election ballot. I was told in a follow-up phone call that she spoke to her contact at the FCC who assured her he was indeed eligible.
