Sending Pharaoh Mubarak packing By Jerry Mazza
(sane excerpts only)
The Muslim Brotherhood met as part of a group of about 50 prominent
Egyptians and opposition figures, including officials of the small,
recognized opposition parties, as well as a handful of young people
who helped start the protest movement on Facebook. Before the dust had
settled, Suleiman let loose a statement on state TV proclaiming
consensus about a path to reform, including the promise to form a
committee to recommend constitutional changes by early March. The
other elements echoed pledges Mr. Mubarak had already made, including
limits on how many terms a president can serve.
US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and VP Joe Biden had held a
National Public Radio interview with Suleiman
Suleiman said on ABC News little to indicate he was ready to shift
Egypt to democracy or even to take its youth-driven democracy movement
seriously.
Margaret Scobey, the US ambassador to Egypt, a career diplomat with a
significant Middle East track record but lacking in secret ops was
sidetracked
Obama inserted Special Envoy Frank G. Wisner Jr., former ambassador
to Egypt (1986-91) in her place, arriving January 31.
Wisner is the son of Frank G. Wisner, Sr., co-founder of the CIA and
Operation Gladio, which left stand-behind armies post WW II to combat
socialist or progressive movements to help the working classes of
Europe. Along with Allen Dulles, the CIA director JFK fired for the
Bay of Pigs fiasco, Wisner, Sr. supported U.S. secret intervention
doctrine: support those democracies which make a good choice,
oppose those which make the wrong choice.
I think we can all agree that the good choice was for European
progressives to disappear, like Premier Aldo Moro of Italy. Moro was
considered an intellectual and a patient mediator, especially in the
internal life of his Christian Democrats party. He was kidnapped on
March 16, 1978, by the Red Brigades (BR), and killed by them after 55
days of captivity.
Frank Wisner, Jr., has always worked with the CIA
Ambassador Wisner, a personal friend of President Hosni Mubarak, has
been tasked with organising his low-key destitution., writes
voltairnet.org., and his arrival, albeit discretely, came after a
telephone call from Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, to General Sami Enan, his Egyptian counterpart. Remember, the
Egyptian army is trained and equipped by the Pentagon, a perk that
comes with the $1.5 billion for the pharaoh s military pyramid. It
guarantees, too, U.S. use of Egyptian Air Space and the Suez Canal. It
asks that Egypt maintain the 1973 Peace Agreement with Israel,
protect their Southern flank and fundamentally sell out their Arab
brothers in Palestine and wherever else necessary.
Officially, Mullen commended Sami for his restraint, a code word
deciphered in minutes by Cairo that the army regarded the protests as
legitimate. That is, for now, until they can be made illegitimate.
Voltairenet.org goes on to tell us Wisner, Jr., is not known to the
U.S. public either as a diplomat or master spy, but as an unscrupulous
financier. He was part of the Enron power elite involved in the
fraudulent bankruptcy of the corporation that ruined countless small
investors and later, as vice chairman of American International Group
[AIG], whose share prices plummeted by 95 percent during the 2008
financial crisis prior to its bailout with taxpayers money, which
flew out the back door to pay-off lost insurance bets (derivatives) to
the too-big-to-fail banks.
Mr. Wisner, Jr. s role in France s recent history, facilitating a
young Sarkozy to meet CIA insiders. And also of one of Wisner s
children becoming one of the pillars of the Carlyle Group, the asset
management firm controlled by the Bush [Sr.] and Bin Laden families.
MESSAN - VOLTAIRE NET ARTICLE
As the Egyptian revolt swells, the U.S. National Security Council
considered that the handling of the situation by Margaret Scobey,
their Ambassador in Cairo, was not good enough.
Ms Scobey is a career diplomat with a significant track record in the
Middle East, but lacks experience in secret operations. Without
prejudging the future, she has spared no effort to meet with the
greatest number of players and establish ties with all the camps.
For the National Security Council, it is not enough to simply
safeguard the interests of the United States. It is absolutely
indispensable to preserve the Egyptian-Israeli peace deal, which
implies having to choose the next country leadership. Thus, the NSC
called on Frank G. Wisner, former Ambassador to Egypt (1986-91), and
dispatched him urgently to Cairo where he arrived on 31 January 2011.
Mr. Wisner is the son of Frank G. Wisner Sr., co-founder of the CIA
and Gladio. Together with Allen Dulles, Wisner Sr. was one of the
architects of the U.S. secret intervention doctrine: support those
democracies which make a "good choice", oppose those which make the
wrong choice.
As for Frank G. Wisner Jr., he has always worked for the Agency and
continues to do so, serving in particular as one of the Directors of
Refugees International.
Ambassador Wisner, a personal friend of President Hosni Mubarak, has
been tasked with organising his low-key destitution. His arrival was
discretely preceded by a telephone call from Mike Mullen, Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to his Egyptian counterpart General Sami
Enan - the Egyptian army is trained and equipped by the Pentagon.
Officially, Mullen commended him for his restraint, a message which
was perfectly deciphered by Cairo which, a few minutes later,
announced that the army regarded the protests as legitimate.
Frank G. Wisner Jr. is not known to the U.S. public either as a
diplomat or as a master spy, but as an unscrupulous financier. He was
part of the Enron power elite involved in the fraudulent bankrupcy of
the corporation that ruined countless small investors and, later, as
Vice Chairman of American International Group whose share prices
plummeted by 95% during the 2008 financial crisis, prior to its
bailout with taxpayers' money.
Although not at all known in France, Wisner Jr. has nevertheless
played a major role in that country's recent history. He married
Christine de Ganay (Pal Sarkozy's second wife) and, in that capacity,
reared Nicolas Sarkozy during his New York years. It was he who
introduced then-teenage Sarkozy to CIA insiders and facilitated his
entry into French political circles. One of Wisner's sons was
Sarkozy's English-speaking political campaign spokesman; another one
of his children became one of the pillars of the Carlyle Group, the
asset management firm controlled by the Bush and Bin Laden families.
In addition, it was Frank G. Wisner who strongly recommended his
friend Bernard Kouchner as French Foreign Minister with the mission to
mobilise European states in favour of Kosovo's independence.
