RUTHFULLY YOURS

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/07/15/Sec-of-State-Clinton-Chooses-Sides-in-Egypt-Picks-Islamists-Over-Constitutional-Court
As I have written in other posts, there is serious trouble in Egypt. Their constitutional court recently disbanded the nation’s parliament in a bid to end the influence Islamists enjoyed there. Yet even as they disbanded it, the Egyptian people elected a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Morsi, for president. Meanwhile, Egypt’s military is supporting the constitutional court’s decision to disband parliament, thus Morsi and the military are estranged to say the least.

Enter Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, who is siding with Morsi in the contentious situation and is calling on the military to back Morsi instead of the constitutional court. She justifies this by saying she simply wants to guarantee “a full transition to democratic rule” in Egypt.

Her idea of guaranteeing a full transition is to side with the Islamists?

The Palestinian Arabs: Delegitimising Israel, Islamifying Jesus, & Fooling The World (Plus A Willing BBC) With Fabricated History
On Friday the odious BBC carried a report about an Arab singer from Haifa who has won an Israeli talent show featuring Mizrachi music, part of her act featuring a Hebrew song that commemorates Israeli soldiers slaughtered by Palestinian “militants”. Instead of dwelling on the positive aspects of the young woman’s victory, the BBC used the report, written by Farhana Dawood, as a hook on which to hang gratuitous propaganda against the Jewish State.

There’s the bludgeoned-home (wrongful) message that Mizrachi music is yet another thing that the grasping Zionist usurpers have stolen from the Arabs:

‘Ala Hlehel, a well-known Arab writer and cultural commentator, says Mizrahi music is very popular in Israel but he insists its roots are Arab.

He feels the music is an imitation of Arab music utilising similar instruments and vocal techniques.

“You know the Mizrahis have a serious identity problem. Call a Mizrahi an Arab Jew and he’ll kill you,” he says.

“They don’t want any relationship with us because it will make them less in this country if you are connected with Arabs. And yet they make a lot of money from this music, which is Arab and the most popular music in Israel.”….’

As Lyn Julius, an expert on the history and culture of the Mizrachim, notes in her able exposé of Dawood’s report, its biases and inaccuracies, this final paragraph contains the “antisemitic image of the money-grabbing Jew”.

In typical Corporation fashion, facts that sit uncomfortably with the BBC’s agenda are distorted or omitted.

Thus, writes Ms Dawood, before proceeding to quote from a biased leftwing source:

“Mizrahim arrived in Israel from countries like Morocco, Tunisia, Iraq, Yemen and Iran in the years following its establishment.

They were met with condescension by the European establishment who saw them as inferior and threatening because of their resemblance to the perceived Arab enemy….

…. Despite several areas of common ground, there is no real closeness between Israel’s Arab citizens – who mostly identify as Palestinian and make up about 20% of the population – and the Mizrahim.”

There’s no reference to the Mizrachim who were settled in Eretz Israel long before 1948, of course. There’s no reference to the persecution that the-post 1948 Mizrachi olim faced in the Arab world, and that they fled Arab lands as refugees.

Muslim Congressman targets Michele Bachmann for raising questions about Huma and Hillary

http://www.shoebat.com/2012/07/13/muslim-congressman-targets-michele-bachmann-for-raising-questions-about-huma-and-hillary/

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) may be engaged in a bit of ‘thou doth protest too much’ relative to concerns about Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Huma Abedin. He’s got a problem with a letter sent to the Office of the Inspector General of the State Department penned by five congressmen – led by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) – who want more information about these revelations.

From the SC Times, via Think Progress:

Rep. Keith Ellison, DFL-Minneapolis, said in a statement that he’s puzzled by Bachmann’s comments. Ellison, the first Muslim-American elected to the U.S. Congress, said he doesn’t understand why Bachmann would make such accusations through the press if she has information that’s as sensitive as she claims.

“If she has sources for this type of information, she owes it to the country to reveal them to the proper authorities, but definitely not this way,” Ellison said. “If she doesn’t have this type of information, she should not be whipping up fear and hysteria about a very important matter.”

Here is the relevant excerpt from the letter to the OIG at State:

…the Department’s Chief of Staff, Huma Abedin, has three family members – her late father, her mother and her brother – connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations. Her position affords her routine access to the Secretary and to policy-making.

Back to Think Progress. Check out the Bio of Huma Abedin that they posted in their attack on Bachmann:

Abedin was born in the United States, attended college at George Washington University in Washington D.C. and the popular Clinton aide is also married to former Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner (NY).

While my esteemed colleague Andy McCarthy analyzes the substance of Hillary Clinton’s address in Alexandria, Egypt here, I confess to remaining stuck on the description of the Egyptian crowd chanting, “Monica! Monica!” as Hill’s motorcade made its way through the city.

Must be the call of my wild old beat covering Impeachment Issues (“Monica! Monica!”) for the Washington Times editorial page years ago.

It’s hard to imagine any barb razor-sharp enough to penetrate the thick skin that allows the thoroughly disgraced Clinton couple to remain in the public X-ray eye, but if one such barb could break through their armor of brazenness, maybe it would be the utterly debasing story of Monica, Bill, and Hill, particularly as shouted by chorus of loutish misogynists on the literal Arab Street.

Of course, poor Monica was the most sensational but least significant aspect of Clintonian malfeasance and criminality, for which they have never been brought to book. Missile technology to China in exchange for campaign slush-cash? Ah, Johnny Chung and Chinagate. Fast-tracking hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to the voter rolls? Ah, Citizenship USA. Nearly 1,000 raw FBI files on Republicans that made their way to Hillary’s hands? Ah, sands of time, sands of time. Lincoln Bedroom rentals, Vincent Foster, Whitewater, cattle futures, “put some ice on that,”…. Its’a all part of the Clintons’ enduring triumph over truth, their vanquishment of shame. The Clintons’ legacy is lying as an art, shamelessness as a virtue, treason as business as usual, and oral sex as a teenage commonplace.

Such is the Clintonian subtext that the raucous Egyptian mob forced to the surface.

Wth that in mind, consider as a sidelight this piece in the New York Post:

Shouldn’t he mind that the State Department is denying “country clearances” to CIA operatives?

Hillary Clinton’s State Department bureaucrats are interfering with current CIA operations by denying passports to agents, according to intelligence community sources.

Though this has happened in the past, these denials were until recently a rare occurrence. There has been a surge in the State Department’s denial of “country clearances” in recent months. Because the State Department has legal control over the issuance of all U.S. passports — including those diplomatic and other special passports often used by active CIA operatives — its refusal to issue passports in recent months has denied the CIA the ability to mount planned operations in several nations. My sources did not reveal which countries are involved but — given the turmoil in Egypt and Pakistan, and the U.S.’s tenuous relationship with both countries — they would likely be among those nations for which the passports are being denied.

The State Department’s decreasing cooperation with the CIA may have begun as early as January 2011 when CIA contractor Raymond Davis got into a shootout with Pakistanis on a street in Lahore, killing two men who Davis said were attempting to rob him. Davis was arrested for murder and his diplomatic passport was deemed ineffective by the Pakistanis, who held him in prison until the U.S. government paid “blood money” to the relatives of the dead.

These events come at a time when rumblings about the effectiveness of new CIA Director, Gen. David Petraeus, are also being heard. If the passport denial is as great a problem as my sources indicated, why would Petraeus not be fighting the State Department’s usurpation of his job?

The denial of passports to CIA agents would most affect those who are going abroad to gather intelligence under an official cover of other U.S. government employment. Covert operations, logically, would not be affected as the agents involved would not be traveling on U.S. government passports, though “case officers” who run the covert agents might be.
