West Celebrates as Dark Age Descends over Egypt

By News Desk

In a May 6, 2012 Reuters article it stated : "Working quietly, the Brotherhood has been financing Free Syrian Army defectors based in Turkey and channeling money and supplies to Syria, reviving their base among small Sunni farmers and middle class Syrians, opposition sources say."  The Muslim Brotherhood was nearing extinction in Syria before the latest unrest, and while Reuters categorically fails in its report to explain the "how" behind the Brotherhood’s resurrection, it was revealed in a 2007 New Yorker article titled, " The Redirection " by Seymour Hersh. The Brotherhood was being directly backed by the US and Israel who were funneling support through the Saudis so as to not compromise the "credibility" of the so-called "Islamic" movement. Hersh revealed that members of the Lebanese Saad Hariri clique, then led by Fouad Siniora, had been the go-between for US planners and the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood.

Introducing the Gulf State Despots: 10 Facts about Saudi Arabia

By News Desk

Astounding hypocrisy, self-censorship, and complicity by the West regarding one of the most regressive regimes on Earth. by Tony Cartalucci August 9, 2012 –  The Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) comprises of 6 nations, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
