Islamic Extremists Rise in Egypt, As Predicted, Thanks to US Policy
Islamic extremists are on the rise in Egypt, as predicted would occur as a result of the US-backed military coup that overthrew President Mohamed Morsi.

The New York Times admits that its earlier claim that Assad was responsible for the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack in Syria was baseless.
As usual, the New York Times is spinning information to willfully obfuscate the role of the U.S. in arming Syrian rebels whose ranks include al-Qaeda-affiliated and other Islamic extremist groups, with most of the arms falling into the hands of the jihadists.
U.S. policy is to prolong the conflict and escalate the violence by backing the rebels enough to eventually coerce Assad into agreeing to step down, but not enough to assist them in actually overthrowing the government.
Kristof asks, "for those of you who oppose cruise missile strikes, what alternative do you favor?" Um...
The case of the U.S./NATO bombing of Kosovo is indeed a useful model for Syria, if the right lesson is drawn from it.
The obvious purpose of the propaganda narrative is to manufacture consent for this U.S. policy. To recall the above previously-reported facts would make this policy look like not such a wise idea. Hence, down the memory hole with them.
In the brilliant minds of those running the U.S. government, if a policy is failing, the obvious solution is to just keep doing more of the same thing only on an even bigger scale.
We see once again how Syria acquiring better means to defend itself against foreign military attack is used as a pretext to escalate military attacks against Syria.
There has been a growing narrative in the media that it is necessary for the U.S. to act with a full-scale military intervention in Syria to topple the government of President Bashar al-Assad, with the usual myopic and willfully dishonest arguments.
An op-ed in the New York Times by Ethan Chorin on the disastrous U.S.-NATO intervention in Libya is a good example of the kind of limited dissent that is permitted in the mainstream discussion.
The Times editors at least do not suffer cognitive dissonance to quite the same extreme as the good Senators.
There was a Wall Street Journal article earlier this month on the attack in Benghazi, Libya in which Ambassador Stevens and several other officials were killed that I meant to blog about briefly, but haven't had the time, until now. What I want to point...
The New York Times reports on how the truce that began on Friday has already fallen apart, with both sides blaming each other for breaking it. But what I want to draw attention to is not what the Times reports, but how it reports it. The article, titled “In Syria,...
People like Plaw and Fair and other members of the U.S. “intelligentsia” who try to defend U.S. violence are complicit in the resulting murders of innocent civilians. Period.
One consequence f NATO's regime change operations in Libya, according to Britain’s MI5, is that al-Qaeda, as predicted, has entered the country to establish a base of operations there.
By changing the administration’s denial from the U.S. not being involved in arms shipments to the U.S. not directly providing arming rebel forces, the Times is able to avoid having to point out the obvious fact that the Obama administration lied.
With the U.S. acting to escalate the conflict in Syria in order to implement its policy of regime change, increasing atrocities by both sides can be expected.
Jo Becker and Scott Shane have an extraordinary article in the New York Times about Obama’s use of drone strikes that sheds some interesting light on U.S. policy under his administration.
The atrocity will likely be cited as a pretext in increasing calls for military intervention to overthrow the Assad regime on “humanitarian” grounds.
I am a truly independent journalist and Research Fellow at The Libertarian Institute whose work is focused on exposing dangerous mainstream propaganda that serves to manufacture consent for criminal government policies.
I'm the author of several books, including Obstacle to Peace: The US Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict The War on Informed Consent, Ron Paul vs. Paul Krugman: Austrian vs. Keynesian Economics in the Financial Crisis, and The War on Informed Consent, which features a Foreword by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Topics I have covered over the years include 9/11 and the "war on terrorism", the war on Iraq, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the role of the Federal Reserve in the economy, and so-called "public health" policies including vaccines and the COVID-19 lockdown madness.
The aim of my work is to empower people with the knowledge needed to see through the lies and to create a brighter future for our children.
