IS THE TRUMP PROBE REALLY ABOUT RUSSIA OR THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD?
Robert A. Taft
In 1989, head of the Global Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf Qaradawi, announced the Brotherhood’s 30-year plan to take over the United States from within. Working through front organizations, like the Islamic Society of North America (INSA), the Brotherhood has strategically infiltrated all levels of Government, especially at the top from the Clintons to the Obamas.
In the 2009 Holy Land Foundation case, a cabal of MB front organizations, including the ISNA, were found guilty of financing terrorism. Despite these findings, John Brennan attended many ISNA events and was the keynote speaker at their convention that year.
Much has been rumored about whether Obama and Brennan are Muslims. While declaring himself a Christian, Obama learned Islam early on in Indonesia, was the son and stepson of Muslim men, and attacked the Bible, Christians and Jews over 100 times during his administration while 99 percent of the refugees he permitted to come here were Muslims compared to less than one percent Christian.
While serving as CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia, Brennan became so enamored by Muslim practices that a fellow agent claimed the man converted to Islam during that period.
Whether or not these men are really Muslim is immaterial. What matters is that both men were incredibly close to an organization that still wants to take down America. John Brennan fit in perfectly as Obama’s CIA director as both men allowed the Brotherhood not only to influence but indeed guide many actions and policy decisions of the presidency. While many U.S. allies were condemning the Brotherhood, these men embraced the group.
Consequently the Obama administration was riddled with Brotherhood members, who helped shape everything from the Arab Spring to Common Core. One staffer, Raschid Hussain, helped draft the Cairo speech which launched Obama’s foreign policy and Brotherhood stalwarts helped fashion the disastrous Arab Spring where “moderate” Brotherhood leaders were to replace selected Middle Eastern dictators. Despite its miserable failure, Obama and Brennan stuck firm with the Brotherhood, ardently defending the group and erasing terms like “radical Islam,” “jihad” and other inflammatory words from the government vernacular. In speech after speech, both men tried to separate Islam from the violence it precipitated, even though a senior Hezbollah leader refuted the CIA chief’s claims.
With MB relationships firm, Obama and Brennan, who had been pushing for an Iranian-American dialog since 2008, used Secretary of State, John Kerry, to engineer the notorious Iran nuclear deal, the crown jewel in Obama’s foreign policy agenda. With that jewel well in place, the Obama administration, along with the Muslim Brotherhood, saw a continuation of Brotherhood principles should Hillary Clinton, under the tutelage of Huma Abedin, ascend to the presidency.
But in December 2015, Donald Trump, demanded a ban on Muslim immigrants following the terrorist shooting in San Bernardino. This announcement, coupled with Trump’s relentless bashing of the Iran deal, alienated the Muslim Brotherhood and would lead to the destruction of the Obama international legacy. The brash New Yorker and nationalist outsider led in the polls and had to be stopped. But how? Hillary Clinton actually provided the answer.
The intelligence community has always known that the Russians try to disrupt American elections. In March of 2016 though, the Clinton campaign paid a foreign agent to develop Russian “dirt” on Trump, an illegal act. When Brennan and Obama discovered this, they knew they had to turn the tables to protect Clinton and finally put a dagger into the Trump campaign. Working with NSA chief, James Clapper, and FBI boss, James Comey, Brennan mobilized the Deep State to pursue a Trump-Russian probe, ultimately justifying it by using the fallacious Hillary-financed Trump dossier.
In 2017 Michael Flynn encouraged the new president to declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, a designation that would severely weaken MB leaders. Brennan’s CIA operatives vehemently protested the recommendation, pitting themselves against their new boss, an anti-Brotherhood congressman, Mike Pompeo. Not surprisingly, special counsel, Robert Mueller, fresh out of the gate falsely accused Flynn of lying to the FBI.
With Obama’s blessing, John Brennan masterminded the Russian probe. Throughout, his key claim is that Vladimir Putin preferred to see Trump win over Clinton, a laughable assertion none of the other intelligence agencies could confirm. Starting with the Uranium One fiasco and followed by the whimsical Russian reset button, Obama’s pledge to Putin to be more flexible in his second term, and of course the Iran nuclear deal, the stars were well aligned for Putin, Iran – and the Muslim Brotherhood – if Hillary became president.
Compared to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Russians were small potatoes. But in purposely trying to dislodge the new president, mounting a case about Russian collusion would be significantly more palatable and potentially devastating than simply accusing Trump of trying to stifle Obama-Brennan friends in Iran and the Brotherhood.
