Annihilationist Axis: Obama-backed Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi “passed state secrets to Iran”
16 Comments
Further proof of Obama’s treacherous alliances. Obama sides with evil. Back in 2010 I wrote of his “switching sides.” Now we find further proof of the Axis of annihilationists made strong under Obama.Obama threw everything he had behind Morsi. After supporting the ouster of our 30-year ally Mubarak, Obama applied intense pressure to expedite the Muslim Brotherhood takeover of power in Egypt. Without thought, statecraft or strategy, he turned the keys of our 30-year ally over to an 80-year-old terrorist group, banned in Egypt, and which is now accused of turning those secrets over to Iran, which has been at war with us since 1979. Morsi was caught on tape colluding with al Qaeda leader Zawahiri.
Obama’s nuclear fallout.
Obama threatened Egypt with the withdrawal of billions in aid if they did not hand over the country to the Muslim Brotherhood. And after they did hand over power and Morsi took over and epically failed in his sharia power crush, Obama withdrew aid to the Egyptian people for rejecting this Islamic supremacist totalitarian.
And Obama engendered enormous anger among the Egyptian people. He repeatedly tried to save/reinstate Morsi after the Egyptian people threw off the Muslim Brotherhood yoke of Islamic tyranny.
And the enemedia continues to whistle past the graveyard of religious minorities and victims of jihad.
Egypt hates America. Obama did that.

An Egyptian prosecutor on Sunday accused the ousted Islamist president of passing state secrets to Iran‘s Revolutionary Guard, the first such explicit detail in an ongoing espionage trial.
If convicted, Mohamed Morsi could face capital punishment. He already stands accused of a string of other charges, some of which also carry the death penalty, levelled as part of a crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood group after the military deposed him last summer.
At Sunday’s hearing, part of which was aired on state television, the prosecution accused Morsi and 35 other Brotherhood members of conspiring to destabilize the country and cooperating with foreign militant groups – including Palestinian Hamas and Lebanon‘s Hezbollah.
The case’s chief prosecutor, Tamer el-Firgani, said Morsi, his aides and senior Brotherhood members had “handed over secrets to foreign countries, among them national defense secrets, and handed over a number of security reports to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in order to destabilize the country’s security and stability.”
El-Firgani, divulging details of the charges, said national security reports meant for only Morsi to see were emailed to some of these foreign militant groups. One report, he said, was sent to the Iranians about the activities of Shia Muslims in Egypt. Iran is mostly Shia.
Morsi started off his time in office with repeated tirades against Iran over its support to Syrian President Bashar Assad, but soon warmed up to the Islamic Republic, allowing its tourists to come to Egypt for the first time in decades and founding a four-nation contact group on the Syrian war that included Iran.
Morsi and his co-defendants were present at the hearing without their defence team, which had walked out of the previous hearing in protest over the fact that the defendants were being held in a glass sound-proof cage. Defence lawyers appointed by the bar association were present in their place.
The cage was introduced after Morsi and his co-defendants interrupted the proceedings of other court cases by talking over the judge and chanting slogans. The cage is fitted to give the judge sole control over whether the defendants can be heard or not when speaking.
The military overthrew Morsi following millions-strong protests after just a year in power. Since his ouster, he has largely been kept out of the public eye, appearing only in carefully managed court sessions in which he has frequently shouted defiantly, insisting he is still Egypt’s president.
The country’s first freely elected president after autocratic ruler Hosni Mubarak was toppled in a popular uprising in February 2011, Morsi drew the ire of liberals, secular-leaning youth groups and a large sector of Egyptians who accused him and his Brotherhood of trying to monopolise power and failing to implement much-needed reforms.
The trial, which began on 16 February, is set to resume on 27 February.
