Arabia
Did we exaggerate hostility towards the Brotherhood?
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] I have noticed attempts by those who are "fond of the Brotherhood" to curb the Saudi momentum towards the Brotherhood and its branches, both the public and secret ones, and aren’t they many!

This attempt aims to benefit from the loud fuss against Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
due to the campaign using the Jamal Khashoggi case. The last thing they care about is attaining the criminal judicial truth as all they want is to employ the case "for needs in the soul of Jacob."

A Jacob here or Jacobs! They want to obstruct the Saudi prowess in combating the Brotherhood, the most dangerous international "network" in the world and they’re doing so via the approach of: "Enough you people, enough talk about the Brotherhood. We have exaggerated this a bit or too much!"

Reality is opposite of that as we ‐ and we’ve talked about this problem here for years ‐ have plenty to say about the Brotherhood’s threat and this is good; however, a few work on establishing real and permanent awareness regarding the Brotherhood’s culture and ideology, which means the prevalence of how many over how to.

ONGOING WAR
Anyway, the Saudi Crown Prince, the architect of the Saudi vision and the leader of the war against extremism, said at the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh in his first statement following the vehement media campaign against Saudi Arabia after the Khashoggi problem that the war against extremism is ongoing. His words were clear. Of course, the Brotherhood is the first womb of extremism, via deceit at times, soft talk and gibberish about freedoms at other times or via frank and rough remarks when the time is suitable.

The time was actually appropriate during the wakefulness of the secret Brotherhood dream during the season of chaos or the Brotherhood Spring that lasted from December 2010 until the dream ended in 2014.

Let’s recall some of it. In July 2012, Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, Brotherhood official "Sheikh" Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
could not control his emotions and spoke in Gazoo during a Friday sermon saying: "The Brotherhood’s accession of power in Egypt and Tunisia is the beginning of the Islamic caliphate."

On November 13, 2011, at a ceremony for Ennahda Movement in Sousse, Tunisian Ennahda official Hamadi Jebali hailed the beginning of "sixth caliphate." In that same year, Yemeni Brotherhood official Abdul Majeed al-Zindani told crowds in Sanaa that he sees the morning of the Islamic caliphate rising from every place in the Islamic world, adding that Mursi’s accession to power was a sign of the caliphate.

CONFRONTING THE BROTHERHOOD
Truth is, Saudi Arabia’s journey in confronting the Brotherhood is not something of this current era but of the era of King Abdullah as on March 7, 2014, the Saudi commission issued its famous list that was based on the former royal order of late King Abdullah and categorized certain parties as terrorist, and the Moslem Brüderbund was at the forefront.

Is it possible to say: "Enough talk and work on confronting unemployment, corruption and pollution! That’s enough, you’ve annoyed us!?" It’s the same thing as the same determination and same continuity must be adopted when it comes to protecting people from the Brotherhood’s ideological and psychological malaise.

A final word: Confronting the Brotherhood, in terms of its culture, politics and upbringing, is not an occasional matter or a tactical political move but it’s the "philosophy" of a permanent and new life.

Bethesda Hires Team Of Liberals To Act As NPCs In 'Fallout 76'
[BabylonBee] ROCKVILLE, MD—Popular RPG developer Bethesda has hired a team of leftists to roam the wasteland in its new Fallout 76 video game and act as NPCs, handing out quests and interacting with players.

Bethesda games have often been plagued with buggy NPC behavior, a problem that was easily remedied by just paying liberals to parrot dialogue options as commanded.

"Our new liberal-controlled NPCs are actually much easier to program than the NPCs in our previous games," said one game designer. "Gone are the days of buggy dialogue and facial animations: now we just have liberals obediently doing what we tell them to say and think."

With More Votes Counted, It Looks Like Mia Love May Have Won in Utah After All
[Townhall] Let's start things off with the good news: On election night, it looked like conservative Utah Congresswoman Mia Love, who represents Utah's least Republican Congressional district, had been swept away in Democrats' suburban blue wave. But as more votes have been counted, Love's Democratic challenger has seen his lead dwindle away -- and now electoral maven Dave Wasserman is starting to lean toward the conclusion that Love is slightly favored to complete the comeback and win another term:

Despite President Trump's gratuitous shots at Love during these unhelpful remarks last week, Congressional Republicans would be delighted to have their party's only black female Representative return to the lower chamber in January. Keep an eye on this race -- it's trending red. At the other end of the spectrum, California's notoriously endless vote-counting process is once again padding Democrats' numbers, likely handing defeats to a number of Republican candidates who were leading on election night. The imperiled or defeated include incumbent Mimi Walters and first-time federal candidate Young Kim, who stood to become the first Korean-American woman ever elected to Congress (I mentioned her in this post). Given the trajectory of the count, in which she appeared to lead somewhat comfortably last Tuesday night, Kim may well narrowly lose:

#1  Hope so, but President Trump may have to season his words a little.

#2  Because there seems to be systematic Dem election fraud and voter fraud in the 2018 mid-terms across the country all of these elections are suspect and need to be investigated. For example, the numbers in Arizona for Senator just don't add up. Same in Florida.

#3  Dress rehearsal for 2020.

And the Dems will get help from the GOPe.

POTUS and Political Warfare aka Higgins Memo
[Unconstrained Analytics] The Trump administration is suffering under withering information campaigns designed to first undermine, then delegitimize and ultimately remove the President.

Possibly confusing these attacks with an elevated interplay of otherwise normal D.C. partisan infighting and adversarial media relations, the White House response to these campaigns reflects a political advocacy mindset that it is intensely reactive, severely under-inclusive and dangerously inadequate to the threat.

If action is not taken to re-scope and respond to these hostile campaigns very soon, the administration risks implosion and subsequent early departure from the White House.

This is not politics as usual but rather political warfare at an unprecedented level that is openly engaged in the direct targeting of a seated president through manipulation of the news cycle. It must be recognized on its own terms so that immediate action can be taken.

At its core, these campaigns run on multiple lines of effort, serve as the non-violent line of effort of a wider movement, and execute political warfare agendas that reflect cultural Marxist outcomes. The campaigns operate through narratives.

Because the hard left is aligned with lslamist organizations at local (ANTIFA working with Muslim Brotherhood doing business as MSA and CAIR), national (ACLU and BLM working with CAIR and MPAC) and international levels (OIC working with OSCE and the UN), recognition must given to the fact that they seamlessly interoperate at the narrative level as well.

In candidate Trump, the opposition saw a threat to the "politically correct" enforcement narratives they’ve meticulously laid in over the past few decades.

In President Trump, they see a latent threat to continue that effort to ruinous effect and their retaliatory response reflects this fear.
