The USA seems to be overlooking its technical guidelines to support the powers rising up in Egypt:
Despite concerns, U.S. to give Egypt $1.5B
The Arab SpringMarch 23, 2012(AP) WASHINGTON – The Obama administration told Congress on Thursday it will waive democracy requirements to release up to $1.5 billion in aid to Egypt despite concerns that the country is backsliding on commitments it made to democratic governance and rule of law.
U.S. officials and lawmakers said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has determined that it was in the U.S. national interest to allow $1.3 billion in military assistance to flow.
Fox News (blog) 23 March 2012
SEAN HANNITY, FOX NEWS HOST: Now, with something we have warned about in this program for more than a year and thanks to President Barack Obama, the United States of America is preparing to send $1.5 billion to the radical extremist inside the Muslim brotherhood but, of course, the shocking story is not leading any of the newscast of the mainstream Obama-mania media. Though you will only hear about this as our vetting of the President continues tonight in “The Real Obama.”
Now, this massive sum of money was set aside by the White House for the purpose of funding the Egyptian military. However, Congress blocked it from being handed over due to concerns about the anti-democracy movement that is now griping that country. But the breaking news today comes to us from the State Department where Secretary Hillary Clinton announced that she will issue a waiver to circumvent the will of Congress. Now, according to our report, from democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, Clinton will certify that Egypt is meeting its obligations under its peace treaty with Israel and that means $1.5 billion tax will soon start flowing to the Egyptian government and, yes, that means the Muslim brotherhood.
The above is not a surprise. The Obama Administration continues to take steps that seem to support the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood (and no, I am not trying to say that this is a specific goal of Hillary Clinton). And yes, it may be legal for the Administration to overlook certain guidelines if it certifies that doing so is in the national interest, but this still is of prophetic interest.
As far as US President Barack Obama, what he has been doing has been consistent with what I wrote in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect. In it, I warned that Barack Obama would help enable the rise of a multi-national leader of an Islamic confederation, like an Imam (an Islamic religious leader like a Mufti or Caliph), that the Bible refers to as the King of the South (Chapter 8, pp. 132-135). His actions and inactions in the Middle East and North Africa are confirming this on a regular basis. The Obama Administration has cautiously, but repeatedly, supported the Muslim Brotherhood (see Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Satisfies US Government). The public reason for that seems to be that the Muslim Brotherhood is considered to be easier to work with and more “moderate” than Islamist groups like the Al Noor Salafi Movement (that group, for example, seems to encourage persecution on non-Muslims more publicly than the Muslim Brotherhood does)–and perhaps it believes that providing US$1.5 billion will help the less extreme Islamists gain more influence.
However, it should be clear that, as a rule, Islamist groups like Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, want an Islamic empire (called a caliphate) that will require its subjects to have less secular choices than the non-Islamist party backers want.
Notice a few items in the news related to the rise and influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt:
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood eyes end to Gaza blockade
22 March 2012
CAIRO/GAZA: The Muslim Brotherhood aims to open the Egyptian border with Gaza to commerce, a shift that would transform life for Palestinians there but which is hitting resistance from Egyptian authorities reluctant to change a longstanding policy.
The biggest party in Egypt’s new parliament, the Islamists are not yet in government but have been seeking ways to ease the impact of restrictions imposed by Israel and Egypt on what passes in and out of the territory run by the Hamas group, an ideological offshoot of the Brotherhood.
Washington Post – Mar 21, 2012CAIRO – The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s most powerful political group, said Wednesday it is considering running its own candidate in upcoming presidential elections, dropping its previous decision to avoid direct participation in the race.Ahram Online – 22 March 2012The Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, has slammed interim Prime Minister Kamal El-Ganzouri….The Muslim Brotherhood and its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, have been demanding of SCAF that it form a new government based on the new majority in parliament. Badie claimed in his statement that the parliamentary majority would form a government representative of all political powers in Egypt.
Notice what the Muslim Brotherhood wants:
…the goals which the [Muslim Brotherhood] Society was established for, that is, establishing the State of Islam, headed by the Islamic Caliphate, in order to establish Allah religion on Allah’s land…(Source: The Muslim Brotherhood – in its own words Translation of “Jihad is the way” by Mustafa Mashhur Leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, 1996-2002 by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik. http://www.palwatch.org/STORAGE/special%20reports/Jihad_is_the_way_by_Mustafa_Mashhur.pdf viewed 04/30/11)
What is the Muslim Brotherhood?…
“The Islamic nation,” its charter states, “must be fully prepared to fight the tyrants and the enemies of Allah as a prelude to establishing an Islamic state”—ideally a re-established caliphate, stretching from Spain across the Middle East and Central Asia to Indonesia, to be governed according to Islamic sharia law. (Understanding the Muslim Brotherhood. February 14, 2011. © The Muslim Brotherhood. http://www.ikhwanweb.com/article.php?id=28019 viewed 11/21/2011)
And while it is not likely to end up with Spain, a confederation from Morocco to Afghanistan could be feasible (plus or minus).
In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has called for an election of that nation’s Grand Mufti (Brotherhood Demands Election of Mufti, Integrating IFTA Authority to Al-Azhar) so that he will not be appointed by the current interim regime but instead will be one that the Muslim Brotherhood wants. The Grand Mufti is the highest official of religious law in a Sunni or Ibadi Muslim country. The Muslim Brotherhood is gaining much power in Egypt and does not want the current government to get in its way as it gains more power. And it now looks like it will receive substantial funding from the USA.
To bring enough Arab nations together, I have felt that some type of “strongman” needed to rise up. One who Arabs would tend to respect–who might use or not use the title Imam Mahdi or Grand Mufti (Caliph, perhaps with a version one of those religious titles). The time may be now for him to start to rise up and the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups may play an important role, and the USA may provide some financial assistance to the process.
Events for the rise of the final King of the South are stirring. Watch (Mark 13:37).
