Thread: Obama's Egypt decision: Side with ousted Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government

UNBELIEVABLE! Obama claims neutrality while continuing to arm the Muslim Brotherhood.
Posted 07.12.13 by Todd Cefaratti, Editor of TPNN

The Obama Administration has erratically claimed neutrality with regards to the turmoil in Egypt, but has also intervened in the chaos. After several years of coddling the increasingly tyrannical Muslim Brotherhood-led Egyptian government, the Obama Administration has become quite invested in their regime.

Obama’s foreign policy is so awful that he makes Jimmy Carter look halfway competent.

The Obama Administration has been instrumental in the destabilizing of the Middle East. Having supported the so-called Arab Spring, the “tread lightly” mantra of Obama’s foreign policy has led to a rapid destabilization of Libya and Egypt reminiscent of the destabilization of Iran that Carter helped create decades ago.

Now that Mohamed Morsi’s short reign has come to an end, the Obama Administration has postured as if they’re neutral, but are anything but. This administration has signaled an unwillingness to admit what the rest of the world already knows: the Morsi regime was bad news.

The Obama Administration who has shuttered the White House because America is too poor to keep the peoples’ house open for viewing has also been pumping over $1.3 billion into the tyrannical government and providing them with fighter jets and tanks while Morsi has made thinly-veiled threats to our allies in Israel and continued to increase political oppression of the Egyptian people.

Now that a new regime is taking hold, the Obama Administration has decided to not hold off and are continuing to send fighter jets to Egypt- despite the murky waters that lie ahead.

Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Wesley Miller stated, “We remain committed to the U.S.-Egypt defense relationship as it remains a foundation of our broader strategic partnership with Egypt, and serves as a pillar of regional stability.”

Sure, nothing says “a pillar of regional stability” like the ousting of one tyrant to be replaced by another tyrant who would be replaced less than two years later.

The truth is that we don’t know what lies ahead for Egypt. While we hope that stability increases, the turbulence in the region should merit a withholding of weapons until we can see how things are shaping up.

While still maintaining that they are remaining neutral, Obama Administration spokeswoman Jen Psaki claimed that they join Germany in supporting the release of deposed tyrant Mohamed Morsi.

MEDIA BLACKOUT AGAINST A FORMER SITTING US PRESIDENT! YOU SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT CARTER, BUT HE APPEARS TO BE THE ONLY FORMER LEADER STANDING UP WHILE ALL THE OTHERS ARE SITTING.

“...At a time when popular revolutions are sweeping the globe, the United States should be strengthening, not weakening, basic rules of law and principles of justice enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” Carter wrote. “But instead of making the world safer, America’s violation of international human rights abets our enemies and alienates our friends....”

Obama’s Secret $8 Billion Bribe To The Muslim Brotherhood
July 18, 2013 by Kris Zane

According to Arabic News Channel TV14 and reported on by Egypt Daily News, Obama’s relationship with recently deposed Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi goes far deeper than mere support as a democratically elected President.

Per TV14, Obama conducted secret negotiations with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood outside of normal diplomatic channels.

According to sources cited by TV14, Obama secretly transferred eight billion dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood—not the Egyptian government—as payment to guarantee that a large portion of the Sinai Peninsula be turned over to the terrorist organization Hamas, an avowed enemy of both the United States and Israel.

The secret agreement was signed by deposed Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi and his second in command, Khairat el Shater.

Who on the U.S. side signed the agreement and where Barack Obama got the eight billion dollars is not clear. When Mohammed Morsi was deposed and arrested by the Egyptian military, evidence of the secret agreement was discovered and seized.

Further, per the news segment, which has been uploaded to YouTube and has since gone viral, secret negotiations between Obama and the Egyptian military—specifically Colonel Abdul al-Sisi, head of the Armed Forces—were ongoing to ensure the agreement remained hidden. Per the secret negotiations, in exchange for Obama recognizing the Egyptian military as legitimate, Colonel al-Sisi promised to keep Obama’s illegal agreement with the Muslim Brotherhood secret. However, a source within the Egyptian military leaked Obama’s nefarious activities to TV14 and the world.




If Obama’s secret agreement with the Muslim Brotherhood is proven correct, it may spell the end for the Obama administration once and for all. Obama may have illegally siphoned off funds from the US Treasury and committed treason by attempting to turn land over to Hamas, a group that is not only an enemy to the United States, but has vowed to destroy every Jew on the face of the earth. If Obama’s nefarious plan would have been realized, Hamas’ control of the Sinai Peninsula would have put Israel in an indefensible position and would have led to a second holocaust.

If proven to be true, this would go far beyond the Constitution’s requirement of High Crimes and Misdemeanors as a basis for impeachment. It would mean treason, possible life in prison, or even the death penalty for Barack Hussein Obama.

Watchdog: Morsi Trial ‘Badly Flawed’

Ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi looks on from behind bars, along with other Muslim Brotherhood members at a court in the outskirts of Cairo, April 21, 2015. An Egyptian court sentenced ousted President Mohamed Mursi to 20 years in prison without parole on Tuesday for the killing of protesters in December 2012, in a decision broadcast on state television.

Human Rights Watch has declared that the trial and sentencing of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was “badly flawed” and likely politically motivated. Morsi has been sentenced to 20 years in jail along with 12 other members of the Muslim Brotherhood for the violence, kidnapping, torture, and death of protesters in 2012. Morsi was deposed by the army in mid-2013, and the then-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took power. According to Human Rights Watch, Morsi was jailed for weeks without charges, and the trial relied mostly on testimony from the military and police. According to the human rights organization, Morsi’s defense team was only allowed to visit him once.

Ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi sentenced to death
Posted: Saturday, May 16, 2015 2:34 pm
Updated: 4:01 pm, Sat May 16, 2015.

CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian court on Saturday sentenced the country's first freely elected leader, ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, to death over a mass prison break during the 2011 uprising that eventually brought him to power.

The ruling applies to another 120 people, and is the latest in a series of mass death sentences handed down since the military overthrew Morsi nearly two years ago. The sentence will likely further polarize Egypt, a longtime U.S. ally grappling with an Islamist insurgency that has intensified since Morsi's overthrow.

In what appears to be the first violent response to the ruling, suspected Islamic militants gunned down three judges and their driver in the northern Sinai Peninsula city of al-Arish, according to security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Egypt's judiciary has come under mounting international criticism since Morsi's ouster as it has handed down harsh mass sentences to Islamists and jailed secular activists for protesting. At the same time, the courts have acquitted or handed light sentences to top officials who served under President Hosni Mubarak, whose nearly 30-year reign was ended by the 2011 Arab Spring-inspired uprising.

"These sentences are yet another manifestation of the deeply troubling way the Egyptian judiciary has been used as a tool to settle political disagreements," Emad Shahin, a professor at the American University in Cairo who was sentenced to death in absentia wrote in a Facebook post.

"Due process, regard for evidence, and minimum standards of justice have been tossed aside in favor of draconian injustice," wrote Shahin, now a visiting professor at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.

As is customary in capital punishment cases, Judge Shaaban el-Shami referred his death sentences on Morsi and the others to the nation's top Muslim cleric for his non-binding opinion. El-Shami set June 2 for the next hearing, and the sentences can be appealed.

Morsi already is serving a 20-year sentence for his part in the killing in 2012 of protesters outside a Cairo presidential palace.

The military overthrew Morsi in July 2013 following days of mass protests by Egyptians angered by his divisive policies. Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who had been appointed military chief by Morsi, led his ouster, and was elected nearly a year ago in a vote boycotted by the Islamist opposition.

Since his ouster, authorities have cracked down on Islamists and pro-democracy activists who were instrumental in the 2011 uprising. Thousands of Morsi supporters have been jailed and hundreds killed in street clashes over the last two years, including at least 600 in one day, when security forces violently dispersed two pro-Morsi sit-ins in August 2013.

After the verdict was read Saturday, a smiling Morsi defiantly waved the four-finger sign associated with the sit-ins.

As the government has cracked down on Islamists and other activists, the courts have been far more lenient to Mubarak-era officials. Mubarak himself was acquitted in November of charges linked to the killing of hundreds of protesters in 2011 and has not spent a single day in prison since his arrest in April 2011.

The 87-year-old Mubarak was sentenced to three years for corruption on May 9 but was later declared a free man since he had already spent three years in detention, mostly at a Nile-side military hospital in a southern Cairo suburb. Prosecutors have appealed his acquittal over the death of protesters, and a high court will decide next month if he should be retried.

Sentenced to death with Morsi on Saturday were 105 defendants, including some 70 Palestinians. The defendants include the Brotherhood's spiritual leader, Mohammed Badie — who has already been sentenced to death in a separate trial — as well as one of the Arab world's best known Islamic scholars, the Qatar-based Youssef al-Qaradawi. Most defendants were tried and convicted in absentia, meaning they will receive automatic retrials if they are detained.

Supporters of Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood, now outlawed and branded a terrorist group, chanted "down, down with military rule" as the judge announced the verdict in a converted lecture hall in the national police academy.

Prosecutors alleged that armed members of the Palestinian Hamas group entered Egypt during the 18-day uprising through illegal tunnels running under the Gaza-Sinai border. Taking advantage of the turmoil, the militants fought their way into several prisons, releasing Morsi, more than 30 other Muslim Brotherhood leaders and some 20,000 inmates, prosecutors say. Several prison guards were killed and parts of the stormed prisons were damaged.

Hezbollah and Hamas operatives who had been convicted and sentenced to jail terms over terror-related charges were also sprung out of jail in 2011.

In Gaza, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said the sentencing to death of the Palestinians was "regrettable" and "shocking," adding that "some of those convicted were killed before the Egyptian revolution and others are serving prison terms in Israel." He said nothing about Morsi's death sentence.

Hamas is the Palestinian chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood and enjoyed close relations with Morsi during his year in office, but has denied taking part in the prison breaks.

Amr Darrag, a Cabinet minister under Morsi and a co-founder of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, also blasted Saturday's verdicts.

"Today will be remembered as one of the darkest days in Egypt's history," he said.

An Islamist opposition alliance led by the Brotherhood meanwhile called on Egyptians to step up the campaign to topple the "gang of treachery and usurpers" in the run-up to July 3, the second anniversary of Morsi's removal from power.

Amnesty International also denounced the verdicts, saying "the death penalty has become the favorite tool for the Egyptian authorities to purge the political opposition."

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said el-Sissi's government was returning to the "old Egypt" by rolling back democracy. He also criticized the West, saying it had failed to speak out against such death sentences.

Morsi escaped a death sentence in a separate case before the same judge related to allegations that he, several of his aides and Brotherhood leaders allegedly passed state secrets to foreign groups, including Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah, during his time in office. A total of 16 senior Brotherhood leaders and aides were sentenced to death in that case, including one woman.

A verdict on Morsi's role will be announced in the June 2 hearing.

Egypt court confirms death sentence for ousted president
June 16, 2015

CAIRO — An Egyptian court has confirmed a death sentence handed to ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi over a mass prison break during the 2011 uprising that eventually brought him to power.

Judge Shaaban al-Shami confirmed the ruling Tuesday after consulting with the country's religious authority as required by Egyptian law in cases involving the death penalty. The religious authority issues non-binding opinions on such sentences.

The ruling will automatically be appealed. The judge also confirmed death sentences for five other jailed leading members of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group.

The military overthrew and detained Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president, in July 2013 amid massive protests demanding his resignation.
