Is Obama Administration Backing Egyptian Uprising?

It certainly is interesting to learn that the United States is apparently and secretly backing the uprising that is taking place in Egypt but seemed almost disinterested in the uprising that took place in Iran in 2009 - 2010. This revelation is the result of more Wikileaks documents in which a group known as the April 6 youth movement - a facebook group in Egypt with approximately 70,000 members has been coordinating anti-government activities for some time.

Via the Telegraph:
The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police.

On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011.
That summit took place from December 3-5 of 2008. Coincidentally, that was during the transition period into and out of the White House from the Bush administration to the Obama administration, with Obama having been elected one month earlier.

HERE is the document that details the summit as well as one of the April 6 dissidents.

Connecting a few dots here, it is important to keep in mind that the revolt in Egypt is supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, which is publicly saying it is calling for non-violence. However, that same Muslim Brotherhood has been developing a political apparatus in the United States for decades, with many of its members having strong influence at the highest levels of U.S. government. The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the Muslim Students Association (MSA) to name just a few.

The Muslim Brotherhood spawned Hamas, which spawned CAIR.

For example, Obama's Islamic Envoy to the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) is a man named Rashad Hussain, who has connections to the MSA. He spoke at a 2004 MSA event where he praised convicted terrorist Sami al-Arian. Hussain tried to deny it but was caught on audio and still wasn't fired by the White House. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) is a Muslim congressman with very questionable ties to CAIR as well.

It isn't just the leftwing of American politics that has been infiltrated by people with ties to the Brotherhood. Suhail Khan, an alleged conservative is on the Board of the American Conservative Union, which is responsible for the annual CPAC convention, has ties to the Brotherhood as well. His father founded the MSA and was a high ranking official inside the ISNA. Khan had inside access to the White House in the early years of the Bush administration.

Read it all.
