The Muslim Brotherhood’s Nazi past

You have to wonder how much history President Wormtongue studied between hits of Choom back in his shadowy youth in an elite Hawaiian prep school before Affirmative Action began further greasing his collegiate wheels in California, New York and Massachusetts.

For instance there’s the Nazi connection to the Muslim Brotherhood he thinks so much of and its blatant anti-Semitic agenda—only coincidentally, I’m sure, also found in today’s Hamas charter.

From the Volokh Conspiracy:

“The Brotherhood’s campaign used not only Nazi-like patterns of action and slogans but also German funding. As the historian Brynjar Lia recounts in his monograph on the Brotherhood, ‘Documents seized in the flat of Wilhelm Stellbogen, the Director of the German News Agency affiliated to the German Legation in Cairo, show that prior to October 1939 the Muslim Brothers received subsidies from this organization.

“Stellbogen was instrumental in transferring these funds to the Brothers…coordinated by Hajj Amin al-Husseini and some of his Palestinian contacts in Cairo.'”

On this subject, though, Barry probably is innocent by reason of laziness. He’s far too self-satisfied to do any actual research before embarking on his Islamist-lovin’ policies, or anything else, for that matter.

Meanwhile, back at the Oval Office:  “Leaders of groups identified by the federal government as fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood are given top seating for presidential speeches and are welcomed into the Oval Office to offer their advice prior to presidential trips to the Middle East.”

Gee, do you suppose this might have had something to with the Democrat IRS audits of pro-Israel charities?

From the NYTimes lips to the IRS ear

Getting an unfavorable mention in the Democrat’s newspaper of record is not the way to have a good day. In fact, if you’re a pro-Israel charitable group, it can lead to an IRS audit:

“They really kind of focused on us,” HaYovel’s founder, Tommy Waller, told the Washington Free Beacon regarding the [2010] New York Times story. “Then six months later we had an [IRS] audit.”

And it was probably no coincidence, because as Z Street, another pro-Israel charitable group told the Wall Street Journal what it was told in 2010 when it queried why its tax application was taking so long: …[it was] because auditors were required to inspect more thoroughly any groups “connected with Israel… to determine whether the organization’s activities contradict the administration’s public policies.”

Can’t have that, can we now? Wormtongue’s “public policies” come before any silly old thing like the First Amendment. What do you think the IRS is for? His is a government of bennies for liberals, not laws for all.

UPDATE:  Other pro-Israel charitable groups got their audits thanks to the WaPo, another reliable Democrat stenographer.

The new federal speech code

While you’re being careful to vote the approved way, and whether and how you support Israel and what you say out loud about President Choom, if you happen to be a college student, the Department of “Justice” has a further warning just for you:

“The new mandate was revealed in a letter from the DOJ and DOE to the University of Montana that states ‘sexual harassment should be more broadly defined as ‘any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature,’ including  ‘verbal conduct.’ [Even sex jokes that might be overheard, got it?]

“The new rules apply to all colleges and universities receiving any sort of federal money, including Pell grants, federally backed student loans, and more. The letter contends the conduct in question need not be offensive to an ‘objectively reasonable person of the same gender in the same situation.’ That means that there is effectively no check on what might count as harassment.”

This goes against your First Amendment rights, you say? Good luck. The feds are a power unto themselves. I wouldn’t try to push your view too far unless you want the IRS to audit you. Or your parents.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

This morning, some eight hours ahead of us in Central Texas, the sirens will sound in Israel and cars will stop, even on the freeways.

People will get out and stand silently for a time, remembering stories such as this one. Wherein we discover that the first two people killed by the British in World War II were not German Nazis, but Jewish refugees escaping from the German Nazis.

UPDATE: The Warsaw Ghetto uprising wasn’t the only way they fought back. For instance…
