Bambi's Secret Meetings With Muslim Brotherhood
2011-02-02
Followup.
Hush! It's a secret!
The Egyptian intelligence official told WND his government has information of a meeting that took place yesterday between Issam El-Erian, a senior leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Frank Wisner, a former U.S. ambassador to Egypt.

The Obama administration dispatched Wisner to Egypt this past weekend to report to the State Department and White House a general sense of the situation in the embattled country.

The Egyptian intelligence official speaking to WND said the meeting took place inside the American embassy in Cairo

The U.S. State Department would neither confirm nor deny the report.

The Muslim Brotherhood seeks to spread Islam around the world, in large part using nonviolent means. Hamas and al-Qaida are violent Brotherhood offshoots.

The latest information is not the first charge by the Egyptian government that the Obama administration has been working with or encouraging the opposition to Mubarak.

Last week, a senior Egyptian diplomat stated the Egyptian government suspects elements of the current uprising there, particularly political aspects, are being coordinated with the U.S. State Department and Obama administration.

The senior Egyptian diplomat told WND the Mubarak regime suspects the U.S. has been aiding protest planning by Mohamed ElBaradei, who is seen as one of the main opposition leaders in Cairo.

ElBaradei, former International Atomic Energy Agency chief, has reinvented himself as a campaigner for "reform" in Egypt. He is a candidate for this year's scheduled presidential elections.

ElBaradei arrived in Cairo just after last week's protests began and is reportedly being confined to his home by Egyptian security forces.

He is seen as an ally of the Muslim Brotherhood.

This past weekend, the London Telegraph reported the U.S. embassy in Cairo in 2008 helped a young dissident attend a U.S.-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police.

The Telegraph would not identify the dissident, but said he was involved in helping to stir the current protests. The report claimed the dissident told the U.S. embassy in Cairo that an alliance of opposition groups had a plan to topple Mubarak'sgovernment.

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Greater Asia] COLD WAR REVERSAL IN US-CHINA TIES.


ARTIC = REAL SIGNIFICANCE/MEANING OF CHINA'S NEW STEALTHY J20 IS NOT THAT THE US F-35 VARIANT = US MILTECHS IS STILL [slightly?]SUPERIOR, BUT THAT THE US NO LONGER HAS THE NATIONAL ECONOMIC STRENGTH ANYMORE VIA SPENDING OF EXORBITANT $$$ SUMS ON ADVANCED = "CUTTING-EDGE" WEAPONS PROGRAMS TO ACHIEVE PAR OR ABSOLUTE, UN-OPPOSED LT MIL SUPERIORITY OR DOMINANCE.

"Back to the Future" > the Obama USA = 1980's USSR getting ready to implode. Its 1981 again + "BAMBOO/PANDA DAWN" MORNING SUN HAS JUST ROSE IN AMERICA.

and

* WAFF > A FUTURE DOMINATED BY GERMANY AND CHINIA? | {Asia Times] GERMANY, CHINA HAVE THE WILL TO [attain] POWER. Ditto iffy-iffy for JAPAN.
