UPDATED AND BUMPED - Why Is General Mattis Nominating the ‘Muslim Brotherhood’s Stooge’?


From Raymond Ibrahim at PJM:
If nominated and confirmed, Patterson would hold the fourth most powerful position at the Pentagon -- and would effectively be the top civilian in the Defense Department, since both Mattis and his deputy, Robert Work, were military officers. 
As ambassador to Egypt between 2011 and 2013, Patterson worked closely with former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and his Islamist government. She came under fire for cultivating too close a relationship with the regime and for discouraging protests against it -- and White House officials are voicing concerns about those decisions now. 
This is putting it mildly. Back during the months leading to the June 30, 2013 revolution, Patterson -- the “Brotherhood’s Stooge” as she was called by all, from news analysts to the Egyptian street -- was arguably one of the most hated individuals by the millions of Egyptians who took to the streets against Morsi and the Brotherhood. 
Not only did her face regularly appear next to Obama’s in placards; it sometimes appeared alone, indicating just how closely she was seen as supporting the Brotherhood. It should be noted that these were not isolated sightings, as shown by the number of different placards and signs:
Below are just a few anecdotes that I have translated from Arabic language media before, during, and after the June 30, 2013 revolution that highlight Patterson’s unsavory ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. 
In the days leading to the revolution, Patterson called on Egyptians not to protest. She even met with the Coptic pope and asked him specifically to urge the nation’s Christian minority not to oppose the Brotherhood -- even though Christians were naturally going to suffer the most under Morsi, especially in the context of accusations of "blasphemy." 
Soon after the revolution, she repeatedly tried to reinstate the Brotherhood to power. Even Muhammad Heikal -- “the Arab world’s most respected political commentator,” and for over 50 years an Egyptian political insider -- said during a live interview that Patterson had assured the Muslim Brotherhood’s Hisham Qandil, who under Morsi was Egypt’s prime minister, that “there are many forms of pressure, and America holds the keys to the Gulf.”
GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

UPDATE 



This is going to require some time and effort to examine but considering the recent exposure of three brothers (Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan) who managed office IT for members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and other lawmakers while managing to filter data out to their own private server, consider the following video/hyperlinked transcript which reveals similar details - but on a global scale - exposed from financial investigations into 9/11.
9/11 Trillions: Follow the Money
The Corbett report is well documented and although the initial 1/3 does tend to suggest/implicate Bush/Cheney indirectly, the information beginning with "PTech and Vulgar Betrayal" (ff 31:43) will blow your mind.
Here's a direct link to that point of the video: here and here is the official hyperlinked transcript with which to follow it up.
Here is one very brief quote to whet the appetite:
===>"Given the nature of the information and secrets being kept by its clients, it should come as no surprise that many of PTech’s top investors and employees were men with backgrounds that should have been raising red flags at all levels of the government."<===

You ask why Mattis choses MB stooge.

A rough outline of the "PTech Vulgar Betrayal" illustrates this lack of vetting is a long established pattern of horrific incompetence if not aiding and abetting the enemy within and without:
===>Given the nature of this sensitive risk-management work, only a company with experience delivering software to large-scale organizations with secrets to protect would fit the bill, and in this regard PTech did not disappoint. Their client roster included a veritable who’s who of top-level corporate and governmental clients:
the FBI, the IRS, NATO, the Air Force, the Naval Air Command, the Departments of Energy and Education, the Postal Service, the US House of Representatives, the Department of Defense, the Secret Service, even the White House.
From the inner sanctum of the White House to the headquarters of the FBI, from the basement of the FAA to the boardroom of IBM
, some of the best-secured organizations in the world running on some of the most protected servers housing the most sensitive data welcomed PTech into their midst.

Sanctioned by the UN Security Council for his suspected links to Al Qaeda, Yasin al-Qadi-backed investment firm Sarmany Ltd. became an “angel investor” to a software startup called PTech, providing $5 million of the initial $20 million of capital that got PTech off the ground.

al-Qadi continued investing millions of dollars in the company through various fronts and investment vehicles. Company insiders told FBI officials that they were flown to Saudi Arabia to meet PTech’s investors in 1999 and that al-Qadi was introduced as one of the owners. It has also been reported that Hussein Ibrahim, PTech’s chief scientist, was al-Qadi’s representative at PTech and al-Qadi’s lawyers have admitted that al-Qadi’s representative may have continued to sit on PTech’s board even after 9/11.

Ibrahim himself was a former president of BMI, a New Jersey-based real estate investment firm that was also one of the initial investors in PTech and provided financing for PTech’s founding loan. PTech leased office space and computer equipment from BMI and BMI shared office space in New Jersey with Kadi International, owned and operated by none other than Yassin al-Qadi. In 2003, counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke said:
“BMI held itself out publicly as a financial services provider for Muslims in the United States, its investor list suggests the possibility this facade was just a cover to conceal terrorist support.”

Suheil Laheir was PTech’s chief architect. When he wasn’t writing the software that would provide PTech with detailed operational blueprints of the most sensitive agencies in the U.S. government, he was writing articles in praise of Islamic holy war.
He was also fond of quoting Abdullah Azzam, Osama Bin Laden’s mentor and the head of Maktab al-Khidamat, which was the precursor to Al-Qaeda.

That such an unlikely cast of characters were given access to some of the most sensitive agencies in the U.S. federal government is startling enough. That they were operating software that allowed them to map, analyze and access every process and operation within these agencies for the purpose of finding systemic weak points is equally startling. Most disturbing of all, though, is the connection between PTech and the very agencies that so remarkably “failed” in their duty to protect the American public on September 11, 2001.

DNC should have absolutely ZERO credibility with tech issues by now.

History Commons post on PTech names names
Soliman Biheiri head of BMI and a member of Ptech’s board. US prosecutors will later call him the US banker for the Muslim Brotherhood (see link)
Biheiri is also listed in the book "Alms for Jihad"

Abdurahman Alamoudi (now where have we heard that name before??) is one of Ptech’s founders, as well as an investor in BMI. Also listed in the book "Alms for Jihad"

Muhammed Mubayyid and Suheil Laheir. Neither have any known direct ties to terrorism financing. However, both are longtime Ptech employees whom formerly worked for Care International, a Boston-based suspect Islamic charity...Laheir, Ptech’s chief architect, wrote many articles in support of Islamic holy war. He frequently quoted Abdullah Azzam, bin Laden’s mentor.

Yaqub Mirza - investor and on a Ptech advisory board directs SAAR, a multi-million dollar network of companies and charities in Herndon, Virginia. US officials privately say Mr. Mirza and his associates also have connections to al-Qaeda and to other entities officially listed by the US as sponsors of terrorism.

Joe Bergantino, a CBS journalist who will be the first to report on Ptech, will say of Ptech in 2002, “The worst-case scenario is that this is a situation where this was planned for a very long time to establish a company in this country and in the computer software business that would target federal agencies and gain access to key government data to essentially help terrorists launch another attack.” [National Public Radio, 12/8/2002]

After leaving the above comments with links to History Commons, it occurred to me - notice that there has been no updates on investigations of these individuals and organizations since Obama took office.
During the previous 8 years - it simply boggles the mind at the potential of just how far and deep this hostile infiltration has had the opportunity to expand
