Last Week Morsi Accepted Millions of American Dollars…but Now Video Surfaces of His Past Railings Against Doing Business with the U.S.

On March 3rd, Secretary of State John Kerry announced $250 million more in aid to Egypt during his visit to Cairo, a visit that included this chummy photo-op of the Secretary with President Mohammed Morsi. Now just one week later, video of a younger Mohammed Morsi is circulating among Arabic speakers online showing a not-so-chummy Morsi railing against those who cooperate, make deals or do business with the United States and against those who allow the Americans to “interfere in our business.”
The folks at Palestinian Media Watch examined the video for TheBlaze and provided us their translation which can be seen here:
TheBlaze reached out to Egypt-watchers who couldn’t tell us the date of the video, but said that Morsi was clearly using a series of rhetorical questions to attack then President Hosni Mubarak – without citing his name – whom the Muslim Brotherhood regularly derided for his warm relations with the U.S. and for respecting the Camp David Peace treaty with Israel. As a gesture to the Palestinians, Morsi was standing in front of a wall-hanging that depicts the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.
Judging by Morsi’s more youthful appearance and the darker shade of his hair, the video was made a number of years ago, we just can’t say how many.
The editor of the video wanted to send a political message by ending the clip with the above photo of Morsi and Kerry. Juxtaposing the younger Morsi criticizing those who do business with the U.S. and President Morsi today doing business with the U.S. seems a clear attempt to suggest to the the viewer that Morsi is just another politician who has not stuck to his original anti-American and anti-Israel principles.
Here is a transcript of the translation as provided by Palestinian Media Watch (emphasis added by TheBlaze):
Who has pushed the nation into the margins? Who has misled it?
Who gave in to her enemies, her enemies?
Who tried to sell her (the nation) in the slave market?
Who did that? And who extended his hand to the Zionists?
Who has claimed that he wants to make peace with those (in order) to keep their chair, to remain in his place?
Who’s given those the chance to interfere in our business?
Who has brought the Americans here?
Who has given to them? Who is dealing (cooperating) with them?
Who’s making deals with them and works for them and is pleased with crumbs on their tables?
Who’s the one that knows them, who goes to them, who hosts them?
Who’s the one who knows their desires? Who knows their countries? Who knows their children? Who obeys them?
Who wants to continue having relations with them?
With all the regret (I) declare that they refuse.
Who has done all that? Has the Brotherhood done it? What have the Muslim Brothers done?
In an effort to gauge the significance of the video, TheBlaze contacted Eric Trager, Next Generation Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, who is an expert on Egyptian opposition parties. He also tweeted out the Arabic video over the weekend.
“This video should remind Washington of the Muslim Brotherhood’s unyielding hostility towards the United States. We should remember that the Brotherhood has a long-term ‘renaissance’ plan, which calls for consolidating power in Egypt and then establishing a ‘global Islamic state,’” Trager said.
“Policymakers should thus watch this video and remember that the Brotherhood doesn’t intend to maintain its currently cordial relations with Washington indefinitely, which is why we should be squeezing the Brotherhood rather than accommodating it,” Trager added.
The course of action Trager is suggesting has so far not been adopted, as reflected in a new revelation about the Obama administration’s Egypt policy. In an interview that The Hill published over the weekend, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.) said Kerry had hoped to offer considerably more aid to Egypt than the $250 million he announced last week, but he was blocked by Congress from doing so.
Royce said: “This is not the aid package that the administration wanted to announce.” Royce added that though the administration wanted to bestow a “larger sum” on Egypt, it ended up bowing to Royce’s committee and congressional appropriators. The Hill reports:
Royce wouldn’t say how much Kerry had hoped to announce, but the State Department has been pressing Congress to greenlight $450 million in direct aid since last fall.
“Our approach is not the full-throttle administration approach of delivering all the aid that they wanted to deliver, but rather a measured approach of tying tranches to results as it pertains to the peace treaty with Israel, to cooperation with respect to smuggling [into Gaza] and with respect to economic reforms to guarantee civil rights and the rule of law within Egypt,” he said. “That’s the pressure that we’re applying.”
This is not the first tape showing Morsi in a less-than-diplomatic context. As TheBlaze reported in January, Morsi was caught on tape in 2010 calling Jews “the descendants of apes and pigs” and “bloodsuckers who attack Palestinians,” words Morsi’s spokesman later said were taken out of context.
Last October, Morsi was again caught on tape, this time seemingly mouthing “Amen” after an Islamic preacher called for the destruction of the Jews.
Itamar Marcus who heads Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) tells TheBlaze, “AT PMW we are not surprised by the duplicity of Morsi. PMW has stressed that an integral component of Muslim Brotherhood ideology is the necessity for preparation and timing of terror and violence. The MB has the identical goals of Al Qaeda – a world subjugated under Islam. But as opposed to Al Qaeda that preaches attack the infidels at all times at all costs, the MB believes that it must be timed for proper benefit.”
“When Morsi preached hatred of the West in the past it is clear that it was an expression of his authentic ideology. Anything different today is because of the need for timing,” Marcus added.
Palestinian Media Watch is a Jerusalem-based research institute that translates the Arabic media with the aim of educating Western policymakers about the messages to which Palestinians are exposed. Marcus wrote the book “Deception: Betraying the Peace Process” along with Nan Jacques Zilberdik in which the authors reviewed Palestinian government television and print items to try to discover if the Palestinian Authority is educating its public toward peace. By contrast, most of the messages it found were of an inciting and terror-glorifying nature. TheBlaze review of their book can be found here.

Posted on March 11, 2013 at 4:41pmTaqiyya ain’t an inexpensive car from Korea folks. It’s a pillar of Islam that has served the moose limbs well for centuries. It works extremely well on the gullible non-believer.
Taqiyya is a form of religious dissimulation, or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are at risk of significant persecution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiyya
Along those lines, I suggest all to look into the OIC 10 Year Plan. If you are unfamiliar with this plan, I strongly suggest that you put a pillow on your desk when looking into it. I wouldn’t want anyone to break their jaw when it drops.
Islam – the religion of peace, and if you say otherwise, they’ll kill you.

Posted on March 11, 2013 at 3:32pmThere was a time when the U.S. was giving money to Arab nations in order to be able to do business and not be taken as slaves. Money was given and the arabs called that Jizyah (money of submission.) Well, Thomas Jefferson and one of the Adams got tired of it and brought the war to them, hence “from the halls of montezuma, to the shores of tripoli!” Forward 230 + years and we’re back to the same again. Giving money in order to do business and not be taken as slaves! While (all MUSLIMS) say one thing to an INFIDEL, in their hearts and in secret, say another to their brethen. Remember according to their book: Qur’an 5:51—O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

Posted on March 11, 2013 at 3:03pmMaybe there is a reason they don’t want people in the white house Could = privacy so they can have the dictators in it. Also there allowing knives and bats back on planes.= they are capitolist planes not goverment. Who used these things as weapons=Terrorist in 9/11. But bloomberg is worried about his people’s sugar drinks, salt, ears etc. But the new health care will have death panels. They don’t want people to own guns so they are buying up bullets anger management etc. You know something is wrong when the rappers with all the crude things they sing about and actors who make acting with guns and the games people come out and say we need control on guns. Really how are they going to protect there millions. Legal law abiding citizens don’t have a right to protect there family’s. and home’s Remember Eric said about shaming people who own guns like there shaming the kids in school for even pointing like 1. I think we ought to put every 1 that points with there finger in the white house under evalution and let them out of there job. Was’nt chaves a dictator who is protecting him in a country where I thought we had freedom of speech.They make fun of alot of people on t.v. and internet. This is a sad day when they sold out there freedom of speech.political is just another name for selling there soul for money. and there freedom to the devil who will oppress you.

Posted on March 11, 2013 at 1:22pmObamas Living Large:
Let them eat… caviar?:
We are now firmly ensconced in the brutal Age of the Sequester, and things in America are grave. The federal government, we learned on Wednesday, is so strapped for cash that the president has been forced to cut off the People’s access to the home he’s borrowing from them. He didn’t want to have to do this, naturally — “particularly during the popular spring touring season.” But then Congress just had to go and acquiesce in measures that the president himself had suggested and signed into law. How beastly! We axed 2.6 percent from a $44.8 trillion budget, and now the president can’t even afford the $18,000 per week necessary to retain the seven staff members who facilitate citizens’ enjoying self-guided tours around the White House.
The executive mansion is not in that much trouble, of course. It’s certainly not in sufficiently dire straits for Air Force One ($181,757 per hour) to be grounded, or to see the executive chef ($100,000 per year) furloughed, or to cut back on the hours of the three full-time White House calligraphers ($277,050 per year for the trio), or to limit the invaluable work of the chief of staff to the president’s dog ($102,000 per year), or to trim his ridiculous motorcade ($2.2 million).

Posted on March 11, 2013 at 1:33pmObamas Live on 1.4 Billion Annually:
If Ellen DeGeneres wants another dancercize session or Spain holds another clothing sale, the first family will be there before you can say “citizen executive.” Fear ye not, serfs: Austerity may be the word of the week, but the president is by no means in any danger of being forced to live like the president of a republic instead of like a king.
When Calvin Coolidge was president in the glitzy 1920s, he took the republican ideal so seriously that he ended up in a series of tiffs with the White House housekeeper, Elizabeth Jaffray, over the cost of state dinners, and took to admonishing the executive branch for using too many pencils. Such behavior now serves only as a punchline to a joke that is not funny. The current annual cost of the White House — just in household expenses, not the policy operations for which it exists — is $1.4 billion: Annually, presidential vacations cost $20 million (the low estimate for one presidential vacation to Hawaii is $4 million, but the true cost is probably five times that); the first family’s yearly health-care costs are $7 million; more than $6 million is spent on the White House grounds each year. Transporting the president cost $346 million last year. But as Michelle Obama might say, America is basically a downright mean sort of place, so the tours will just have to go. One hopes at least that the calligraphers were recruited to sign the docents’ pink slips.

Millions of tiny little frogs were seen sh%tting in Egyptian President Morsi’s kneading bowls in his palace in Cairo. The President was so outraged he cancelled the countries entire shipment of Heinz Ketchup products in retaliation for “the dirty, filthy, dogs and pigs of Satan, those Americans who must have put these frogs in my bread.” The contaminated bread dough was then sent to the Heinz Ketchup factory in Fremont, Ohio but some of it ended up in Boston, Massachusetts in a Harvard University lecture room where Kerry was lecturing on, “How to Get Along With Your Enemies Without Really Trying.” The stank from the dough caused the lecture hall students to drop their sticks of weed and put down their beers. Others stopped having sexual intercourse midway and said, “What is that smell? Fish?”

> If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government .
> If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt .
> If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat .

What we are seeing now is …what we have sown, we are now reaping. All these points reflect how far we have come from knowing the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. It seems as if it is all designed to bring despair and hopelessness so that people will be more willing to accept a deal with the devil ,or ,hopefully, repent and turn to God for help.

Posted on March 11, 2013 at 11:49amthe more these muslim/islamists leaders speak with forked-tongue the more American Taxpayer Dollars they receive. Read Obama’s plan to Islamicize America by 2016.
One of the most important thing Rand Paul said in his filibuster last week was that….American went into Iraq to free the people from Saddam. To make their country free. How is it that In the last 2 years over 60,000 Iraqi’s have sought POLITICAL ASYLUM IN THE US?
Next we are going to have a vast number or immigrants here from Muslim countries…they are going to FLOOD INTO AMERICA. From Egypt, Jordan, Syria……That is part of the why of these atrocities.
