Op-ed:
Egypt at a crossroads and Obama abandons the call for freedom 
By: Diane Sori

While White House spokesman Josh Earnest continues to publicly deny that the US has cut off aid to Egypt, the office of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the head of the Appropriations State and Foreign-Operations Subcommittee, claims that military aid to Egypt has indeed been temporarily cut off as the State Department admits that our government still has NOT delivered $585 million in Egyptian aid, about half of the total promised $1.5 billion aid package, for the fiscal year ending on September 30th.

Claiming that the Obama administration is reviewing its options in regards to Egypt, Leahy said that administration lawyers decided it was best “to observe the law restricting military aid on a temporary ‘day-to-day’ and ‘case-by-case’ basis” (by the way there is NO such law), deciding that the (non-existent) law did not require a public announcement on whether an actual coup had taken place (but acting as if it did)…which would have immediately required a cutoff in aid under our laws and has become a sticking point both here in the US and in Egypt itself.

Yet by suspending direct military aid…meaning weapons and certain types of economic aid…aid desperately needed to help the Egyptian military disband and bring to justice the Muslim Brotherhood…this most vile of American presidents has now allowed the door to be left open for the Muslim Brotherhood’s return if NOT to direct power to at least becoming an ongoing insurgency who will join ranks with al-Qaeda (and to some degree they already have) and try to turn Egypt into a failed state.

And if that happens, Barack HUSSEIN Obama built it and owns it.

Remember also that Obama recently canceled the joint US/Egyptian military exercises that had been set for next month (exercises desperately needed because of the rise in violence in the Sinai Peninsula, an area critical to keeping the peace with Israel as laid out in the Camp David Accords), and that the Pentagon, on Obama’s orders, has held up the transfer of the remaining promised F-16 fighter jets to the new temporary Egyptian government but had NO problem sending them to the Muslim Brotherhood ‘puppet’ government of Mohamed Morsi.

And so this man has once again shown his true colors as to where his loyalties lie…for they lie NOT with the Egyptian people and the Egyptian military who are trying to rid their country of those who expound sharia law under a strict islamic doctrine…Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s loyalties lie with the very group destroying Coptic Christian churches all across Egypt shouting ‘allah-hu akbar' as they do so.

And now with the Egyptian military announcing that they’re NOT only going to protect the Coptic Christians but rebuild every Coptic church burned and destroyed by the Muslim Brotherhood (which will NOT only assure Christian support for the military, which they already have for the most part, but will also send a powerful message to western Christians that the military is indeed the protector against radical islam), our so-called ‘Christian’ president is turning his back on what should be his Christian brothers, and is going to stop supporting the Egyptian military simply because they’re in control and NOT his beloved Muslim Brotherhood.

I guess it’s ‘once a muslim always a muslim’…and NO attending Mr. G-D America’s church for 20 years will prove otherwise.

And all this proves that Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s foreign policy in regards to Egypt…in fact in regards to the entire Middle East…is tantamount to his voting ‘present’ while in the Senate…as in this man has NO clue whatsoever of the damage to the cause of Egyptian freedom he's doing or if he does he just does NOT care. This man and his misguided policies are turning Egypt into another Iran of sorts...the kind that would make Jimmy Carter proud...and that is dangerous and sad indeed, because he still will NOT admit that islamic terrorism is the root cause of all the problems.

And make NO mistake that the Egyptian military is fighting islamic terrorism (‘islamic terrorism’… two words Obama will NEVER say let alone admit to existing)…terrorism of the worst kind for it’s in-your-face terrorism…announced with fanfare as in the Day of Rage, and executed to inflict as much carnage and death as possible (weapons were found at the two sit-ins that were dismantled and destroyed by the military)…terrorism of the kind that is the hallmark of al-Qaeda.

In fact, and something NOT generally known is that the military has already arrested and taken into custody the brother of al-Qaeda chief Ayman Al-Zawahri.

But…but…Obama said al-Qaeda is NOT in Egypt…that al-Qaeda is on the run…clueless…totally clueless.

And the military under General Abdel Fatah al-Sissi is trying to roundup and arrest as many of the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorist leaders (including al-Qaeda leaders) as possible in an effort to reign in both the violence and rising death toll for they know that if a country has a large radical islamic population then the only government that can keep a semblance of stability is having the military in control, because it’s been proven time and again throughout the Middle East that a secular democracy as we know it and radical islam cannot and will NOT ever be able to exist peacefully together.

And that’s why Barack HUSSEIN Obama needs to butt out of Egypt’s affairs for the last thing Egypt needs right now as they're on the cusp of freedom is an islamic terrorist supporter telling them what they must do to run their own country...especially since the Saudis, who are also against the Muslim Brotherhood, have promised to make up any aid to Egypt that Obama cuts.

And so the nightmare that is currently Egypt continues...

Op-ed: 
Some should NOT walk amongst civilized men 
By: Diane Sori

Egyptian Coptic Christians have become collateral damage…NO…they are being targeted for elimination…as secular Egyptian security forces battle supporters of ousted Muslim Brotherhood ‘puppet’ President Mohamed Morsi.

For days now, Christians churches have been under attack as the Muslim Brotherhood tries to turn Egypt into an islamic authoritarian state where sharia is the law of the land and islam must be practiced by all...practiced by all as the Muslim Brotherhood tries to achieve its true goal of cleansing the Middle East of all Christians and Jews.

Claiming they’re acting in response to government security forces breaking up two protest camps in Cairo’s Nadha and Raba’a al Adiwiya squares a few days ago, the Morsi/Muslim Brotherhood supporters are attacking and torching churches and Christian-owned homes and businesses all across Egypt, killing many innocents as they do so.

And even after interim President Adly Mansour declared a nation-wide state of emergency and a dawn to dusk curfew, these barbarians attacked and burnt to the ground at least 27 church buildings (including firebombing and burning the Mar Geergiss Church, the main Coptic church in the southern Egyptian city of Sohag along with other churches in the cities of Minya, Assiut, and Fayoum), and attacked a women’s-only monastery and two Christian schools. Thirty Coptic Christian-owned homes have been set on fire, along with many businesses, including the destroying of three Bible Society stores.

And just last week, a little 10-year-old Christian girl was targeted and killed while walking home from a Bible class at the Ahmed Esmat Street Evangelical Church.

So where is the outrage from our ‘supposed’ Christian president…from the media…where is it…there is none as the msm won’t even report on this, and if the newspapers mention it at all its buried amongst ads in the back of the paper, and Obama could care less for he supports and aligns himself with the very barbarians committing these acts.

But heaven forbid one (vile) mosque would be torched or one ‘supposedly’ innocent muslim child was killed…the media and Obama would be calling for blood revenge.

And it’s all so sad because under Hosni Mubarrak’s rule, Christians (who make up only around 10% of the population of 85 million) were safe, but in Morsi’s single year in power a chain of abuses against them were committed…abuses committed even after thousands fled the country soon after he took office. Examples of such are arresting and torturing Christian political opponents and any criticizers; trying to stop Copts from voting in last December’s constitutional referendum; tolerating the assault on Coptic Christianity’s holiest cathedral by islamic militants in April; and halting any and all investigations into the October 2011 Maspero massacre that left 30 Copts dead and 500 wounded.

And immediately before and after Morsi’s ouster his supporters bloviated over and over in a heated frenzy that it was the Christian minority who were the cause of all the protests that led to Morsi’s ouster. Fueled on and aided in this rhetoric…in this lie...by imans from all across Egypt who called for Christians to be attacked and killed, Morsi and his followers ran rampant with NO one stopping them.

That is until 34+ million Egyptians took to the streets in protest that is. Took to the streets to protest the demise of their personal freedoms, because Morsi replaced Sadat’s 1971 constitution (which replaced Egypt’s 1923 constitution) with a 2012 islamic shariah constitution which became irrevocable as Egypt’s new Supreme Law.

And thus the Morsi/Muslim Brotherhood supporters took to the streets to counter the pro-military protesters, all the while shouting their battle cry...“we will defend islam”...while attacking Christians, turning the Egyptian people’s cry for freedom into a (un)holy war of islam vs. Christianity with a bit of ‘death to all Jews’ thrown in for good measure.

And that is serious indeed for if the government security forces…the military…can’t secure the peace and Egypt falls and becomes a lawless failed state, then Israel faces extremely serious trouble for the Camp David Accords, which have kept the peace between Egypt and Israel for decades, won’t be worth the paper they’re printed on.

Remember back in May when Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh called on then President Morsi to ‘revise’ the Camp David Accords saying, “We ask Egyptian authorities to revise mainly the security articles of the Camp David Treaty even though not cancelling it,” and that “Zionists (Israelis) try to use the gap created by the treaty, which blocks the military presence in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula in order to de-stabilize Egypt’s security and damage Egypt- Palestine relations”.

Well, these words were spoken by a man who hates Jews as much or even more than he hates Christians, and points to the fact that if the Muslim Brotherhood were ever to resume power in Egypt…or even to share in power…that would assure that the Sinai Peninsula…an area already awash in guns, weapons, and terrorist training camps…would become even a worse breeding ground of hate where the rules of the game would be that both Christians and Jews were free for the killing.

And what is Obama’s response to all this…to the newest happenings in Egypt including the fact that yesterday Muslim Brotherhood supporters stormed and set fire to government buildings in Cairo. From Martha’s Vineyard…on yet another  vacation paid for by ‘We the People’…Obama held a hastily arranged press conference where his empty words spoken were that the US will cancel joint military exercises with Egypt in the wake of “brutal and deadly violence,” but he said nothing about cutting off foreign aid to Egypt.

“The United States strongly condemns the steps that have been taken by Egypt’s interim government and security forces,” Obama said. “We deplore violence against citizens.” And so it seems he only deplores violence done by the government forces against Muslim Brotherhood citizens but NOT a word was said about Muslim Brotherhood violence against Coptic Christian citizens …NOT a word.

Oh and lest I forget, Barack HUSSEIN Obama said he wants to be “a partner in Egypt’s future”.

I think Egypt can do very well without him for this man’s loyalties do NOT lie with the Egyptian people's wish for freedom for Obama's bloviating interference goes against the very outcome they're trying to attain.  And with him ignoring the slaughter of the Coptic Christians, it becomes in-your-face obvious that Obama is trying to manipulate the chaos in Egypt and turn it into results similar to those in Syria where the Muslim Brotherhood is thought of as 'freedom-fighters'…'freedom fighters' who just happen to be aligned with al-Qaeda…'freedom fighters' who are anything but yet who Barack HUSSEIN Obama is supplying US guns and weapons to...most in dirty under-the-table dealings...as in can you say 'Benghazi'.

And so Obama's treasonous actions continue, but this time the Egyptian people are on the receiving end of it with the Coptic Christians sadly suffering the most.

Op-ed:                                                                                                                          Allegorical circles, Egypt, Israel, and an impotent American Congress                                                                       By: Diane Sori 

Yesterday I was asked why I’ve recently been blogging about the happenings in Egypt when we have so many problems here at home and the answer to that is simple…what happens in Egypt could very well be the completion of the circle that acts as a catalyst for change here in America and helps assure Israel’s survival.

The disaster known as the Arab Spring has in NO way altered our interests in the Middle East for when all the bravado is stripped away it remains oil that fuels our Middle East policies for oil is the life-blood to which our government is addicted. Oil and terrorism…terrorism mostly bred and based in the Middle East spreading its hate and destruction all the way to our shores. Oil, terrorism, and weapons of mass destruction…WMDs existing in the Middle East that if perchance fall into the wrong hands will be NOT only used against us but will most assuredly be used against Israel.

Israel…where our moral obligations and commitments lie binding us to them even more so than where our religious commitments and loyalties lie for Israel is the only true democracy in an area of the world riddled with dictators, mullahs, and autocrats desperate for power.

A circle of oil, terrorism, and WMDs that starts in the Arab Middle East, keeps drawing America in, and ends in Israel. And the Arabs know that an America-Israel alliance exists for it’s Israel we exchange military doctrine with…it’s Israel we exchange counter-terrorism information and intelligence with…and it’s Israel that we turn to for technological aid in helping to solve some of the world’s most troubling technical and strategic problems.

Israel…the country America turns to and the country that turns in kind to America for support is the very country that is still trying to remove the knife Obama put in her back…a knife dug deep as he sides with his ‘brethren’ over Israel every chance he gets. And that is the reality of the Middle East today for if America does NOT support her allies and friends there is NO need for her enemies to make peace, thus allowing the Middle East to stay on fire.

And so the Middle East policies we have in place under this president most definitely need to be changed. In the past US allegiances in the Middle East depended on Arab governments whose policies did NOT reflect their citizens’ opinions…for we depended on and supported dictators but dictators who supported and were friendly to America and who at least tolerated Israel’s existence. And then the Arab Spring happened and those dictators fell to the people but NOT always to the ‘good guys’ as witnessed by last year’s events in Egypt now being corrected in ancient streets throughout their land.

But sadly for all involved with those NOT ‘good guys’ is where Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s loyalties lie…but NOT the loyalties of the American people. And that’s why Israel is the completion of the circle for if Israel falls America as a superpower will fall with her.

And so we would be wise to NOT engage in a struggle to hold back the Egyptian people from shaping their own destiny, and that means Barack HUSSEIN Obama must NOT get us involved in the internal struggle in a place we should NOT be… unless and only unless Israel’s survival is in jeopardy for Israel can hold the wolves at the door at bay if she knows America is there if she needs us.

This approach would be a major departure from policies initiated under Obama…policies where terrorism is tolerated as our enemies have suddenly and miraculously become our so-called friends…policies that have allowed an American president...America’s very own ‘enemy within’...to throw our true friends and allies aside. The ongoing events in Egypt speak volumes as does American support for Israel. Muslims hate America simply because the American people support Israel, and that hate in turn morphs into terrorism. Obama wants cooperation with bast*rds who hate Israel... who hate America…cooperation with bast*rds who hate both as much as he does.

And while we know that Arab governments do need to be more accepting of the wishes of their people and NOT just cater to the wishes of the religious extremists and zealots in their midst, we in turn then have to make our Middle East policies more accepting to the Arab people NOT just to the Arab rulers. But in doing so we must NEVER…I repeat NEVER…put the Arabs wants and needs before Israel and her need to survive as a Jewish nation.

And that brings the circle back to Egypt, a partner in the Camp David Accords, and the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood…all tied together and precariously held in place by a knot that’s coming undone thanks to Barack HUSSEIN Obama…the most traitorous of men.

Under Hosni Mubarak the Camp David Accords were honored and Israel was at peace with Egypt…Israel was safe and the Egyptian Coptic Christians were safe…beheadings were rare if at all. Enter center stage the Obama supported Muslim Brotherhood puppet President Mohamed Morsi and the Camp David Accords (where land taken in war was given back for peace) became tenuous at best under a new president who called Jews the spawn of pigs, and whose ‘soldiers’ slaughtered Coptic Christian children at whim while laughing at their cries echoing in the night. And throw in a dose of new found reality that Morsi and his Brotherhood kin had a hand in Benghazi…Obama and his brethren's bloody hands are all over Benghazi…and the circle joins in completion as the knot holding all together falls to the ground.

And all is exposed as Egypt is angry…Israel is on edge…and America stands by as Egyptians take to the streets to right an oh so wrong.  And sadly, America’s Congressional leaders impotently bow their heads in shame in fear of the race card being used against them, and so do NOTHING to expose the one who continues to fuel the hate smoldering on the surface of the Middle East...the very one who might be surprised that what the Egyptian people started just might have ignited a fire in the belly of 'We the People'...and that fire will come to a head in November 2014.

Op-ed: Kudos to the Egyptian people...job well done

By: Diane Sori
 
As Egyptians continue to celebrate the take back of their county, remember this started on the grassroots level with those who said NO to sharia law and islamic oppression.

About a year ago the people of Egypt also rallied en-masse, and the three decades long regime of Hosni Mubarak came to an end. When at the ballot box the people thought they were voting for freedom and rights, and instead got Muslim Brotherhood controlled puppet Mohamed Morsi, it soon became apparent that they went from ‘supposed’ bad to most definitely worse.

And Barack HUSSEIN Obama sided with, aided, and supported the worse…the Muslim Brotherhood…and still does.

Mohamed Morsi was elected by a small majority, in elections as full of fraud as that of our 2012 presidential election, but even with that Morsi had a chance with his win to show NOT only the Egyptian people but the world that the Muslim Brotherhood was NOT just fundamentalist ideologues (we all know they are), but instead was a party ready to work for the good of the entire nation, and a party that would respect the rule of law laid down under Egypt’s constitution. Morsi also promised to get Egypt’s ailing economy back on its feet but failed miserably as Egypt is financially worse off today than before he took office.

Instead Morsi did everything to forward the strict islamic agenda of his party, including implementing sharia law. This total betrayal of his campaign promises led Egyptians, just one year into his presidency, to organize for his removal before things got even worse; before women were stripped of all their rights; and before the economy deteriorated into total bankruptcy.

Remember, before Morsi Egypt was predominately a secular nation whose economy was fueled by tourism…a nation at peace with Israel…a nation that was an ally and friend of the US. Under Morsi tourism came to a screeching halt, Israel was again an enemy as Egyptian children were being taught that Jews were the offspring of swine, and our president was funding a regime hell bent on throwing aside the Camp David Accords and aiding in wiping Israel off the map…and doing it with weapons funded by our taxpayer dollars.

And as protests grew in size NOT only in Cairo but across all of Egypt, and after refusing to honor a time frame for reform and compromise set down by the military, a predominately peaceful coup was staged that removed Morsi from office, put him under arrest along with many Muslim Brotherhood leaders including supreme leader Mohammed Badie, and issued security travel bans against all Muslim Brotherhood leaders.

And what say Barack HUSSEIN Obama about all this…the man who initiated the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ when he ignored our constitution’s War Powers Clause and butt into Libya’s internal conflict…the man who said he supported democracy but who instead supported his terrorist brethren in the Muslim Brotherhood. These were his first comments, issued in a written statement, as it became evident that Morsi’s government would fall:

“During this uncertain period, we expect the military to ensure that the rights of all Egyptian men and women are protected, including the right to peaceful assembly, due process, and free and fair trials in civilian courts,” he said.

And of course Obama expressed ‘deep concern’ about the military’s removal of his buddy Morsi and the arrests of his supporters (but for the wrong reasons of course), as he called for a swift return to a democratically elected civilian government…forgetting that what he called a ‘democratically elected civilian government’ was as corrupt as his administration is.

But now that Morsi’s government has indeed fallen to the military, and with Egypt’s top army commander Abdel Fattah al-Sisi saying that the army agreed with opposing political forces to temporarily suspend the constitution and swear in Adli Mansour, the head of Egypt’s Constitutional Court, as the country’s interim president until new presidential elections are held, Obama pipes in and says, “I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under US law for our assistance to the Government of Egypt.”

Of course he does as now he won’t be funding his brethren and their dual dream of islamicizing yet another nation, and believe me that irks him no end.

Remember, the US gives Egypt about $1.5 billion in annual aid, of which $1.3 billion is in the form of military assistance, and much of that aid is mandated by the 1979 peace treaty with Israel (and pray tell how does that justify Obama giving muslim terrorists…the enemy…F-16 fighter jets and Abrams tanks…it doesn’t), but US law prohibits aid going to military controlled governments, but with a new president, albeit a temporary one, his argument is basically a mute point.

And with Mansour now in place as interim president (saying in his inaugural speech that the massive anti-Morsi protests that began Sunday, June 30, had “corrected the path of the glorious revolution of Jan. 25,” referring to the 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak), the question as Egypt slowly moves towards democracy is how to include the once banned and now ousted Muslim Brotherhood into the new government…if to include them at all. Remember, Mubarak and previous regimes banned the group, but pro-reform Muslim Brotherhood critics say they must be included in the government if Egypt is to be truly free.

But now add into all this that islamic extremists, including those in the Muslim Brotherhood, have vowed violence…lots of violence…in retaliation for Morsi’s removal. “We declare our complete rejection of the military coup staged against the elected president and the will of the nation,” said Muslim Brotherhood senior cleric Abdel-Rahman el-Bar.

“Friday of Rage,” it has been dubbed as Morsi supporters vow that today they will instigate violence if the military does not back down. And they will do just that as violence is all islamic extremists know for they do NOT honor diplomacy nor the rule of civilized men…and Barack HUSSEIN Obama, president (gag) of the United States, supports these barbarians, for democracy is NOT and NEVER was his hope for Egypt just like democracy is NOT his goal for Syria, for if it was he would NOT have sent weapons to either Morsi’s government nor to Syria’s al-Qaeda supported rebels.

And with the old adage that even a broken clock is right twice a day, in comes Bashar al-Assad (who is NO fan of the Muslim Brotherhood or of Morsi as the Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood was one of the factions behind the mostly Sunni muslim uprising against him) to say, “The summary of what is happening in Egypt is the fall of what is called political islam.”

And I for one can only hope he’s right for the fall of Morsi and his string pullers in the Muslim Brotherhood might have just ignited a real flame of discontention that could spread throughout the Arab world…a flame that could signal the start of a true road to democracy and the will of the people.  And after Wednesday’s events Barack HUSSEIN Obama just might have to start sleeping with one eye open for if he continues as he is, trampling our Constitution and the will of ‘We the People’, Egypt might just have ignited that flame here in America as well.
