US CLOSE TO BANNING MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AS TERRORIST ORGANISATION

Here is some news about the Muslim Brotherhood from the Los Angeles Times:

 



Label the Muslim Brotherhood’s branches as terrorist organizations

On Tuesday, New York City radio host Sid Rosenberg asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio about whether the State Department intends to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as terrorist organizations. Rubio responded that “all of that is in the works,” although “obviously there are different branches of the Muslim Brotherhood, so you’d have to designate each one of them.”

Logistics and bureaucracy aside: It’s about time.

  • For far too long, the United States has treated the Muslim Brotherhood with a dangerous combination of naiveté and willful blindness
  • The Brotherhood is not a random innocuous political movement with a religious bent. 
  • It is, and has been since its founding about a century ago, the ideological wellspring of modern Sunni Islamism. 
  • The Brotherhood’s fingerprints are on jihadist groups as wide-ranging as Al Qaeda and Hamas, yet successive American administrations — Republican and Democratic alike — have failed to designate its various offshoots for what they are: terrorist organizations.


That failure is not merely academic. It has real-world consequences. By refusing to label the Muslim Brotherhood accurately, we tie our own hands in the fight against Islamism — both at home and abroad. We allow subversive actors to exploit our political system and bankroll extremism under the guise of “cultural” or “charitable” outreach.

Enough is enough.

Founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, the Muslim Brotherhood’s stated mission has never wavered: the establishment of a global caliphate governed by sharia law. The Brotherhood has always attempted to position itself as a “political” organization, but it is “political” in the way Lenin was political. Think subversion through infiltration — or revolution through stealth.

Consider Hamas. Hamas is not merely inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood — it is the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian-Arab branch. The link is unambiguous; as Article Two of Hamas’ founding charter states,The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of Moslem Brotherhood in Palestine.” And Hamas’ charter also makes clear its penchant for explicit violence: “Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement.”

This is not the rhetoric of nuance or moderation. This is the ideological foundation of contemporary jihadism. Yet, while Hamas is rightly designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. State Department, other branches of the Muslim Brotherhood remain off the list.

Why? Because Western elites have allowed themselves to be duped by the Brotherhood’s two-faced strategy. Abroad, they openly sow the seeds of jihad, cheer for a global caliphate and preach for the destruction of Israel and Western civilization more broadly. But in the corridors of power in the U.S. and Europe, they and their Qatari paymasters don suits and ties, rebrand as “moderates” and leverage media credulity and overly generous legal protections to plant ideological roots.

What’s more, CAIR — an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history — has extremely well-documented ties to the Brotherhood. And yet CAIR agents continue to operate freely in the United States, masquerading as civil rights advocates while pushing Islamist narratives that undermine the core constitutional principles of equality that they purport to champion. Today, almost two years after CAIR-linked Hamas executed the Oct. 7 pogrom in Israel, CAIR remains in good standing with many elected Democrats.

It shouldn’t be so. In November 2014, the United Arab Emirates designated CAIR as a terrorist organization, citing its links to the Brotherhood and Hamas. And the Brotherhood itself is recognized as a terrorist organization by at least Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Bahrain and Russia. Jordan also banned the Brotherhood earlier this year. Put bluntly: There is absolutely no reason the United States should have a warmer approach toward CAIR than the UAE or a warmer approach toward the Brotherhood than Saudi Arabia.

The first Trump administration flirted with the idea of designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. It was the right impulse. But the effort was ultimately bogged down by internal bureaucracy and international pressure — most notably from Qatar and Turkey, both sometime U.S. partners that harbor strong Brotherhood sympathies and bankroll Islamist causes. 

Critics argue that such a designation would complicate relations with countries where Brotherhood affiliates participate in local politics. But since when did the U.S. place a premium on building alliances with the ideological cousins of Al Qaeda and ISIS?

Moreover, designating the Muslim Brotherhood would empower domestic law enforcement and intelligence agencies to go after its networks and financial infrastructure. It would send a clear signal that the U.S. government no longer accepts a claim of “nonviolent Islamism” as a pass when designating terrorist groups.

In a time when the threat from Islamic extremism remains global and decentralized, we can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to the architects of the movement. The Muslim Brotherhood is not, as “Arab Spring” boosters risibly claimed a decade and a half ago, a Western partner in “democracy.” It is the mother’s milk of modern Sunni jihadism.

The question is not whether we can afford to designate Muslim Brotherhood offshoots as terrorist organizations. It is: How much longer can we afford not to?

ALAMAK! ANOTHER PROTEST? HELLO GOMEN, CAN I ADVISE YOU SOMETHING?

'I just dont see a happy ending for you at all'

 

Alamak it looks like there is going to be another protest - tomorrow. Last month there was a protest. This month another protest. Ala-bapak!

Here is the news:  

Two student groups have announced a protest against Education Minister outside the ministry’s headquarters in Putrajaya tomorrow at 10.30am.

They are demanding her resignation over the alleged poor handling of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir’s death case and what they consider misplaced priorities in education budget spending.

In a joint statement, Gabungan Mahasiswa Islam Se-Malaysia (Gamis) and Himpunan Advokasi Rakyat Malaysia (Haram) said...

 

My Comments: My eyes 'terbeliak' when I read this type of news.  

 


 

But to the gomen, 'Can I advise you something?'

 


My advise is like this "Why dont you all just resign and get l*st?"

Please, please believe me when I tell you that your popularity is now less than taik kucing that is sticking to the bottom of your kasut selipar.  Or worse than that. 


I just dont see a happy ending for you at all. 

It is better if you resign and call for fresh elections. The people are fed up. So give the people what is their right - another chance at the polls to vote for a government of their choice.  

And this time the people will not accept any "selection" either. That was a really bad mistake - at that time. And it is also what I have been saying for the past 30 years. And now you can all see that what I have been saying all these years have come true. (Someday I will give you the location where you can go to worship me - just kidding ok).

Things are getting worse for them.

European Leaders To Toe The Line?

Here is that meeting between President Donald Trump and the European leaders - Poofter of UK, Macron of France, Gorgiosa Meloni of Italy, ReichsKanzler Quisling of Germany, Zelenskiyy, a Finnish guy, Ursula Van Der Lyin of the EU and Mark Rutte of Nato. If you look carefully President Putin is standing just behind that curtain. 

 


 

 

President Trump put forward what President Putin wants: 'security guarantees' for Russia. That Ukraine will not join Nato, the demilitarisation of Ukraine or failing that perhaps the creation of a demilitarised zone along the Ukraine side of the Line of Control.

 
Trump says that there will be no future Russian aggression against Ukraine and that such a notion is overrated. Basically Mr Trump is saying that Russia is not a threat to Europe or the problem in Europe. And Trump says that Europe is going to carry a lot of the burden to provide security guarantees (to Russia). To achieve peace there will be some exchange of territory along the current line of contact. 

The Europeans also spoke of security guarantees but not for Russia. They are talking about Security Guarantees for Ukraine AND for Europe. They are talking about Article 5.

The Poofter said the security of Europe is also under threat.  This is after Donald Trump had already said, "there will be no future Russian aggression against Ukraine, such a notion is overrated and that Russia is not a threat to Europe" . Either the Poofter does not understand Trump's English or he is telling Trump 'I dont give a sh_t about how great you think Putin is".

The German  ReichsKanzler wants an immediate ceasefire - before the next meeting with Mr Putin. President Trump poured cold water on this idea by replying that he had settled six wars (including the 35 year old civil war in the Congo) without any ceasefire. Trump says you can sign a peace agreement even without a ceasefire. 

The ReichsKanzler, the Poofer and Macron want a ceasefire so that they can rearm and rebuild the Ukraine Army and then continue the war against Russia. This is the Great Game that they still want to play.  They have no interest in peace.

The Europeans want Article 5 guarantees to enable THEM to declare war against Russia. They want to be the aggressors against Russia.  

WHY do I say this? Here is Article 5 of NATO:  'Article 5 of NATO's founding treaty enshrines the principle of collective defense, in which an attack on any of its 32 members is considered an attack on all.' 

In other words this is the Three Musketeers 'all for one and one for all'. So when Ukraine sends a drone across the frontier to drop a bomb on Russian troops and Russia shoots down the drone then the Europeans can invoke Article 5 'all for one and one for all" against Russia. Including of course the United States of America. 

So it was a serious mistake for Mr Trump to involve the Europeans in these discussions. He should have kept the discussions strictly with Ukraine. The Europeans do not want peace with Russia. The British absolutely do not want peace with Russia. Because their primary target is to destroy the German economy, which they have done quite well in the past three years (by blowing up that Nordstream gas pipeline from Russia to Germany).  

But ultimately the US calls the shots. Trump snaps his fingers and seven European poodles fly across the pond to Washington.  Looking at the faces of Macron, the Poofter and the ReichsKanzler they are obviously unhappy. Trump is going to draw the line. They will have to toe the line. 

They do not fully fathom another extremely very important point - the Russians are kicking their butts all over the battlefield in Ukraine.  

Perikatan Nasional - Please Change Your Public Image To PN12.

 

Last Tuesday 12th August a friend and I were invited to lunch with Dato Hamzah Zainuddin the Leader of the Opposition at his office in Bukit Tunku.  It was just after a Parliamentary session so a few MPs were also there fresh from Parliament, including YB Thakiyuddin Hassan of Pas. I am still a member of Bersatu, though a highly inactive one and also critical of the party at times. 

 

                                                     With YB Thakiyuddin of Pas

The PN or Perikatan Nasional has been doing plenty of work around the country. They have been meeting various groups from the Chinese and Indian communities like Chinese business groups, NGOs, religious associations and such. The PN has also visited Singapore (upon invitation) and spoken to the Singaporeans.

The PN is quite confident of securing at least 80 Parliamentary seats in the next elections. My view is they can secure a higher number. (And I have some suggestions how they can win much higher  - maybe 100 seats or more). If they can win 80 seats it will be a home run to form a coalition with 32 more seats. Sarawak and Sabah will be approachable. Folks, the next Prime Minister will be from the PN

Some of you really dumb @$$e$ have been asking - who else is there? How about someone who has a brain? Or how about someone who will not lose his deposit? 

The consensus is becoming more solid that both PKR and UMNO will be wiped out. This is becoming more obvious. And that fellow is going to lose his deposit. Unless YB Theresa Kok gives way for him to run in Seputeh. Even then the Chinese in Seputeh might decide to throw him out as well. 

Did you know that the "ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand" was "forced" by President Donald Trump. Trump had threatened both Thailand and Cambodia with 1000% tariff or something crazy like that if they did not cut their bullshit. So they stopped fighting. 

This is also why Cambodia publicly thanked President Trump for arranging the ceasefire. 'Cambodia nominates Trump for Nobel Prize after Thai border truce. Cambodia credits US President Donald Trump for brokering Thai border truce, nominates him for Nobel Peace Prize after he sharply reduced tariffs' . Cambodia forgot to say thank you to anyone else.

The PN has now formed an informal alliance with TWELVE other political parties.

 I know FIVE people here very well. A sixth fellow knows me. 

 

After Muhyiddin meet, 12 Opposition parties form ‘loose coalition’

In recent political developments, the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition has been engaging in discussions and meetings with other political parties. These meetings are part of ongoing efforts to explore potential alliances and collaborations within the Malaysian political landscape. Specific details about the nature of these meetings and the parties involved are still emerging, but they indicate a dynamic and evolving political environment

Malaysiakini reported that these included Perikatan Nasional components (Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, PAS, Gerakan, Malaysian Indian People’s Party), Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda), former Gerakan Tanah Air members (Parti Pejuang Tanahair, Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia or Putra, Berjasa), Malaysian Advancement Party, National Indian Muslim Alliance Party, Urimai (and the Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM))
 

May I suggest that the PN begin building up its image as PN12.  That the PN has the support and friendship of 12 other parties in the country. These 12 parties have their supporters and networks throughout the country. Taken together as a whole it will still be a formidable grouping.

It will magnify the PN's image as a multi-racial coalition.  

President Trump Sinks The EU On Ukraine

 

After his three hour meeting with President Putin in Alaska last Friday, President Donald Trump was met in the White House for about an hour yesterday (Monday) by Zelenskiyy of Ukraine. They met the Press afterwards. Without a doubt US President Trump is the most Press friendly world leader ever. Yes he might like the publicity but it also places the president at great risk of having to answer so many questions by the world's Press. 

You can hear in this video where Trump says that the corrupt Joe Biden was the one who started this war and that Biden "gave money" to Ukraine. This is a direct signal to Zelenskiyy that he has nothing to do with this war and neither will he give away American taxpayers' money. 

Then President Trump said that President Putin wants peace, Zelenskiyy wants peace but the Europeans (UK, France, Germany) do not want peace. Directly hitting Zelenskiyy that he is not in charge of his own country or of the fate of the Ukrainian people. The Europeans are in charge. 

Finally Mr Trump says that peace can be achieved even without a ceasefire. The British want a ceasefire so that they can rearm Ukraine and then to continue the war. The British have absolutely no interest in a permanent peace. They want to fight Russia right down to the last Ukrainian remaining alive. Trump has thrown a spanner in this scheming by saying that even if there is no ceasefire a peace can still be achieved.  

 


After meeting Zelenskiyy President Trump then met with seven European leaders (UK, France, Germany etc). No news yet.

AG's Chambers Just What Are You Doing? YOU ALREADY HAVE 195 WITNESSES!!

First here is a very strange death that happened in Oregon in the USA in 2019. There was a well known American actor by the name of Charles Levin. He appeared in sitcoms like Seinfeld and Golden Girls and the Police drama Hill Street Blues. 

He lived in Oregon. One day in June 2019 he went missing. About 20 days later they found his car in the deep woods in Oregon. The car was in a remote spot about half a mile away from a rural road. The car was literally found in the woods. There were no roads there. Here are some pictures.  


The car was a small Fiat. It was not a four wheel drive. Levin's badly decomposed body was found stuck on a tree in a 30 foot ravine, below the car. The car itself did not roll down the ravine. But the car was dented and damaged. How did his body get into the tree? His dog was also found dead inside the car, beside the driver's side - also badly decomposed. Levin's body was found naked. His clothes had been torn up and placed  in a pile near where the body was found. His well known blue-colour eye glasses were broken in two pieces and found lying together near the car. What was even more mindboggling was that there was no road or track for the tiny Fiat to have driven to that spot. You can see the pictures. After the car was found the local Police could not get to the site even riding on ATVs (all terrain vehicles). Instead the Police had to hike on foot to reach the site of Levin's mysterious death. Finally it took the Police ONE MONTH to pull Levin's car out of that site - they hired tow trucks and other equipment to clear logs, fallen trees, rocks and clear away earth to get the car. In the process a tow truck and another off road vehicle were damaged. So how did Levin's tiny Fiat get through the woods to that spot? How did he die? 

Surely this case warranted a Coroner's Inquiry - to determine exactly what happened to Charles Levine. But the local authorities were satisfied with the Police investigations plus the autopsy and said that it was 'accidental death'.   

Here is more news about Zara Qairina's death.

 


  • AGC to proceed with charges in the bullying of Zara Qairina Mahathir 
  • assuring move will not interfere with inquest proceedings into her death.

OSTB:  I beg to differ.  This sounds like as though the bullying of Zara Qairina happened in the North pole but her death happened in the South pole.  Hello kawan2, the two are NOT DIFFERENT EVENTS. The two are the same events - without a doubt the bullying directly led to her death. Or her death was immediately preceded by the bullying. They are both obviously connected. 

Why are you breaking up the bullying and her death into two separate issues as though they are not connected? 

And then you are charging some people with bullying (which Datuk Kumar the Policeman said carries a 10 year jail term) BUT we must wait for an inquest to determine whether criminal elements involved in death?   

  • AGC said decision made after reviewing investigation papers submitted by police
  • Minister said girl's death focus on bullying, neglect, sexual harassment. 
  • Police handed investigation papers to AGC, statements from 195 witnesses
  • Coroner’s Court 3 Sept to determine whether criminal elements involved in death
  • Zara found unconscious in a drain near her school dormitory around 4am on 16 July

If you take a case to a Criminal Court the Court can say 'Guilty' or 'Not Guilty'. It can go either way.

Similarly an Inquest can go either way. What if the Inquest cannot "determine whether criminal elements involved in death" ? So will that mean Zara flew by herself off the third floor and  'Zara found unconscious in a drain' all by herself? 

I really dont understand - why do you even need an Inquest? The quite unbelievable number is 195 witnesses. Everyone is talking about the 195 witnesses. 

Police handed investigation papers to AGC, statements from 195 witnesses. This means all the people present on the night of her bullying and her death (which was the same night) are known, present and accounted for.  

If you already have 195 witnesses, why do you need a separate Inquest? Just charge them with bullying, murder, manslaughter or whatever and bring all the 195 witnesses to Criminal Court. Apa susah sangat? 

What is the difference between a Coroner’s Murder Inquest and a Murder Trial in Court?

  • Coroner’s Murder Inquest: To establish the facts of death — who died, where, when, and how (the medical and surrounding circumstances). 
  • Example: Did the person die from falling, poisoning, stabbing, etc.?
  • Focus: Not about guilt or innocence, but about the cause and circumstances of death. 
  • Inquest = Fact-finding inquiry about the death itself. No guilty or innocent verdict.
  • Murder Trial in Court: To determine criminal liability — whether the accused committed murder.
  • Focus: On guilt or innocence of the accused, with a very high standard of proof: “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
  • Murder trial = Legal proceeding to determine if someone committed the crime of murder. Guilty or innocent verdict.

Obviously a Coroner's Inquest is needed when there are:

  • i.  not enough witnesses
  • ii. the facts are unclear
  • iii. the body was not found or could not be recovered
  • iv. time, place of death cannot be clearly determined
  • v. cause of death cannot be determined
  • vi. murder weapon cannot be found 

etc etc etc.  Meaning tak cukup evidence dan fakta. 

But when you have 195 witnesses, when you know almost exactly what time she was found lying unconscious, where she was found, who knew where she was lying, who found her, and you know exactly all the injuries to her - then why do you still need a Coroner's Inquest to determine all these basic things?

The Policeman Datuk Kumar already said she fell from a height (three stories). This automatically means her legs, arms, backbone, rib-cage should be broken. How can she fall three stories without breaking her legs, arms, backbone, ribcage etc.

If she fell three stories what about injuries to her face, her skull, her head?  If she fell three stories there must be serious injury to her face, head or skull. 

Were there any blood stains?  If she fell three stories there must be bloodstains. 

How can she suffer serious internal trauma to her brain without suffering serious external injury to her head?

Or did something else happen to her? Was she smothered with a pillow, had her head shoved under a pail of water, or someone held her nose and mouth closed, thus depriving her brain of oxygen or was she shaken violently which caused that Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), a brain injury caused by oxygen and blood flow deprivation??

Surely with 195 witnesses the Police can fully determine all these questions and possibilities. You do not need to call 195 witnesses to an Inquest  to find out  'eh eh what happened' ?

Hello Mr Coroner Kota Kinabalu, you are going to look quite ridiculous calling 195 witnesses to your inquest. You may possibly qualify for the Guinness Book of World Records for the most number of witnesses to be called for an Inquiry to determine 'Eh eh what happened'?  

I am reminded of that Coroner's Inquest to determine the cause of death of that Bomba boy in Shah Alam. Some years ago. It was a waste of time. The forensic specialist already said that the injuries suffered by the boy were caused by the door of the Bomba truck slamming into him at some speed.

The IGP at that time also said that the Police could not find any evidence for foul play. But the politicians wanted that Inquest.  The IGP got fed up and said that if anyone has real evidence to show that the Bomba boy was not killed by the Bomba truck then please show the evidence. No one came forward.

I dont know why they are having this Inquest. They have 195 witnesses.

PUTIN VISITS GRAVES OF RUSSIAN SOLDIERS (WW2) IN ALASKA

After his meeting with Donald Trump in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday President Putin visited the graves of 14 Russian soldiers who are buried in a military cemetery  there. Here is a short video. Also present was the head of the Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska. 

Here is some copy paste: "While the Russian Orthodox Church is independent, it is part of the larger Eastern Orthodox communion of churches. This communion consists of various autocephalous churches, meaning they are ecclesiastically independent, each governing itself but united by shared doctrine and traditions. The Russian Orthodox Church is one of the largest Eastern Orthodox churches and is governed by its own bishops through a local synod, with no central doctrinal or governmental authority like a pope".  

OSTB: This means the Vatican in Rome does not like them. A bit more copy paste:

Historically, the Vatican and the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) have had a strained relationship, marked by periods of conflict. The primary source of tension stems from the Great Schism, which formally divided Christianity into Western (Catholic) and Eastern (Orthodox) branches in 1054. Attempts at reunion, particularly at the Council of Florence in the 15th century, ultimately failed, leaving a legacy of mutual suspicion and doctrinal differences.
