Jordan Next? Muslim Brotherhood Sets Its Sights on Israel-Friendly Middle East Country, Plans ‘November Uprising’

Nov. 29, 2012 3:00pm Tiffany Gabbay

As the Arab Spring and its driving force, The Muslim Brotherhood, has swept the Maghreb and now the Middle East, another country (one that has kept friendly relations with the U.S. and Israel) may be poised for revolution under the stewardship of the Islamist group. And if successful, outside of Egypt, this might be one of the worst setbacks for the Arab world yet.

Al-Monitor reports that the Muslim Brotherhood via the The National Front for Reform, is slated to take Aman, Jordan, by storm Friday, November 30th, to end what they call an ”era of absolute monarchy.”

That Hashemite monarchy, however, has been more amenable in its foreign policy toward the U.S. and Israel than any of its Arab-counterparts outside of Mubarak’s Egypt. The Islamists will also call on Jordanians to “sustain and enhance popular movements to build a real Jordanian state.”

You might recall a Blaze report two weeks ago discussing the new wave of violent protests sweeping Jordan and that the U.S. State Department issued emergency warnings to American citizens in the country.

So what would happen if King Abdullah II were to be ousted by the Muslim Brotherhood in the same way as Hosni Mubarak? One shudders to think, but Al-Monitor reports that the Jordanian authorities seem prepared for what the pending demonstrations:

The National Front for Reform, led by former prime minister Ahmad Obeidat, the Muslim Brotherhood and a youth group known as the “November Uprising” called for mass demonstrations to press their demands for the abolishment of the government’s decision to raise fuel prices and to enact constitutional amendments that would undermine the powers of King Abdullah II.

However, Jordanian authorities quickly announced a security plan that consists of shutting down the main streets of the capital as of Thursday [Nov. 29] evening, as well as those in the country’s most sensitive areas, including the vicinity of the al-Dakhiliyah roundabout, where the demonstrations will begin.

Al-Monitor reports that the demonstration comes on the heels of a Muslim Brotherhood initiative to develop a new “Islamic current called the Jordanian Building Initiative.”

Of course Islamists consider Jordanian authorities’ preparations for Friday’s onslaught a conspiracy to “reduce the number of participants in the demonstrations.” Security chiefs denied such allegations, however, maintaining that their objective is simply “to prevent any contact between pro-government and opposition demonstrations,” according to Al-Monitor. Meanwhile, pro-Abdullah youth groups reportedly announced a demonstration will be held in the same location as a counter to the opposition rallies.

In a press conference Wednesday, Obeidat said that “the heart of Friday’s demonstrations is the slogan of reforming the regime.” He also insisted that authorities provide safety guarantees to protesters as it “falls within the government’s ethical responsibilities and is not a favor.” According to Al-Monitor, he added that the opposition’s organizers are not “a gang that provides protection against another gang.” Al-Monitor provides additional background on what Obeidat plans to do:

Obeidat revealed that during his contact with Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour, he demanded that the government assume responsibility for protecting demonstrators and explained that in the past 48 hours, security leaders communicated with him and confirmed having taken all measures to protect the demonstrations and preserve freedom of expression.

Al-Monitor notes that “with a harsh tone,” Obeidat said, “The Front will not gamble with the country’s stability and security, and in the event that participants are prevented from accessing the demonstration’s site, we will cross that bridge when we come to it.”

There should be a UN resolution banning the dirty muslims from wearing ANY kind of Western garb/fashion. They should be forced to be on the world scene with their dirty beards and dirty robes and rancid caps. No one would take the camel drivers seriously.

We will for sure support the brotherhood. We have their back…so to speak. Amazing times we live in. Too bad they are amazing in a “I can’t believe the leaders of our country are betraying everything it ever stood for” kind of way. Just unbelievable. Does no one care?

Brutal Plan for the survival of the Jordian Monarchy.

(1) Weed out the malcontents in the Jordian Governement.
(2) Design a shut off system for every cell tower in the country.
(3) Design a shut off system for all private media.
(4) Multiple Cell/CB/Satellite Jammer trucks spread out through the city.
(5) Immediately assassinate, deport, exile, every foreign member of Muslim Brotherhood that has come into country that can be found.
(6) Declare the Muslim Brotherhood an outlaw organization and any Jordian member, will be exiled with their familys to the borders of Jordan. All of their property will be siezed by the state.
(7) All foreign journalists will be cordoned off in a facility near the border. Any foreign journalist found outside of the designated area will be imprisoned for no less that 5 years.
(8) Inflitrate the Muslim brotherhood with hundreds of spys, locate the names of all leaders in Jordan.
(9) Remove them all the day before the planned strike, then start working on second tier leaders.
(10) Dominate the airwaves with nationalist propoganda, depict the muslim brotherhood as filth, and encourage all loyal Jordians to report on them.

If you do all of the above your chances of keeping the monarch is about 50/50. If you don’t get brutal?
You might as well start packing.

  I agree with your comments. The King will have to act quickly. He certainly is smarter than most of the other leaders of the country. Israel would likely assist him is he asked. The Muslim Brotherhood is a blight on the Muslim countries. Too bad the people can not see that.

  Iran, North Korea, & Cuba, these are tiny counties that can;t hurt us. Obama
  
  If they combined their countries or allied.
  
  Obama is a fool. I would rather be a white person in a Muslim country than a black person. You just have to look at recent history.
  
  Egypt has like 82 million people(plus 8 million abroad) that is about 25% to 30% what the U.S. has. Combine it with some other countries & they have about the same manpower base. Throw in some nuke, oil or lack of it, & some assymmetric warfare. Hell yes the Muslim Brotherhood gobbling up countries like the NAZIs is a threat.
  
  Obama is not the only fool. So is everyone who voted for him.

The Arab Spring was supposed to start in 2003 when Saddam was toppled. That was the plan all along. http://thinkprogress.org/security/2011/08/31/308769/cheney-arab-spring-iraq/

This is NOT a partisan issues. i know many of you think Republicans are going to save your life and all, but just try think for yourself instead of letting the angry man on the radio do it for you.

  I don’t understand your comments…
  
  Please explain what you meant by: “This is NOT a partisan issues. i know many of you think Republicans are going to save your life and all, but just try think for yourself instead of letting the angry man on the radio do it for you”
  
  According to the article: “Council on Foreign Relations’ Steven Cook concluded, “It is time to put the Bush boosters’ arguments where they belong: in the trash heap of discredited ideas.” “There is no connection between the invasion of Iraq and Arab efforts to throw off generations of dictatorship,””
  
  It seems to me that in an attempt to spread democracy in the region, the MB hijacked the process and put their own people in power.
  
  Another example of “Don’t let a good crisis go to waste.”
  
  The Left requires instability and chaos to enact it’s plan, offering the people a way out; which is really more draconian control.
  
  It has always been thus with them, and always will be. That is what is happening to this country under the current regime.

  Brother,
  
  Yes, I can’t find the video of Bush laying out this plan, which made me gasp, because it was like 6-7 years ago, so nobody paid attention to it. I should’ve put this one out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4F52p5fWa8
  
  When you say that the Arab Spring was “hijacked” or Rahm Emanuel’s “crisis,” you’re demonstrating exactly why I said this is NOT a partisan issue. You give them WAY TOO MUCH credit. My point is that this, like nearly everything else, is BIPARTISAN.
  
  They use “blowback” as an intuitional battering ram. Ron Paul doesn’t get it either because he thinks it is “ineptitude,” but people don’t understand that this is all INTENTIONAL. Look at libya, “oh whoops.”
  
  It doesn’t take a genius to see what was intentionally planned. They knew that NATIONALIST Qaddafi was a bulwark against Islamism, but took him out to expand the very lucrative “war on terror” because war is a racket. http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html
  
  Even propaganda sites like AP, Reuters etc were warning us about “blowback” because it would spread to other parts of the Islamic world, like the Tuareg conflict in the Sahel/Sahara, which Qadaffi SOLVED. “oh whoops,” right?

  thanks blaze for not posting my grand explanation. Im not writing all that again. point is, you cannot escape your partisan blame game. you give this rigged system too much credit. It is all bipartisan. “benghazi” was supposed to happen, like it will in Syria. News reports warned us about what would happen if the nationalist, anti-islamist qaddafi was overthrown – Tuareg rebellion, al qaeda, etc.
  
  http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2011/03/26/uk-telly-al-qaeda-troops-libyan-rebels-front-linesYou people love your government so much that you believe it can do no wrong if a Republican does exactly what a Democrat does.
  
  Bush said this exact same thing in 2006, but nobody paid attention because there was no Arab Spring.

  As a religious person, I tend to see things through a “good vs evil” prism.

Obama did not do this. Please stop giving him credit and distracting everybody including yourself. His ONE AND ONLY job is to absorb all blame so that it looks like “racism” and just obfuscates real issues – case and point….that disaster called the Republican primaries because “OMG, anybody but Obama, etc”

  No he chose a “caliphate” conspiracy theory and he was wrong then and wrong now. The CIA and Mossad initiated this in order to destroy the Arab nation-state because Arab nationalism was a uniter, while Islamic fundamentalism is a divider. This is why Israel created Islamist Hamas to counter the nationalist PLO. There will NEVER be stability under Islamism, which is the plan to distract the Arabs from Israel.

  @Long,
  
  I think you give too much confidence to the CIA. That they could convince the MB that this was their idea all along and that the MB would be somehow unaware of the scenario you presented seems to be a big leap of faith.

  Roth,
  
  I’m surprised at your lack of imagination. Just look at the Syria civil war. It’s not some secret meeting between muftis and men in black in some desert oasis exchanging suitcases full of money. I instruct you to focus on the Syrian border with Iraq. It has magical powers – when a “terrorist” crosses into Syria, he becomes a “rebel.” That is a microcosm of this entire Arab Spring/War on terrorism hoax. These Arabs have so LITTLE power compared to Israel and America and Europe that it is laughable. They are being used as a battering ram, but are either not aware of it or believe that they are flipping the switch on their CIA backers. This is the case in all conflicts. Let me also remind you that our country was founded and is still based upon a grand conspiracy theory. Just look at the original bill of rights.

Remember the military base the US recently built in Jordan for ‘supply purposes’?

Here is the reason why, Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist terrorists assisted by US to take over Jordan, as with Syria and Libya and Tunisia. Next will go Saudi Arabia and most of the smaller gulf states.

Congratulations to all who voted for Obama, you wanted a wolf and the devil now you have him; how much of the blood he has shed in his insanity and madness will you bear in the day of Judgement?

Better fly Obozo over there tonight to support his Muslim Brothers. He thinks more highly of the 2011 Arab Spring than he does about the fiscal cliff. How many beheading and how many rapes will occur during this occupation.

This has been going on for 3 or 4 months at least. bathhouse barry flobama and his marxist muslim buddies want to control the whole middle east.

Saudi Arabia is in the middle of this mix, they want to control all of the oil.

Just like Chamberlain signed a peace pact with Hitler. Sure. Don’t worry. Be happy. Everyone is nice. No one has been stirred to hate America . Especially the crazed murderous , anti-capitalist Muslim extremists. Don’t worry. Be happy. Duh.
