Trump's Counterterrorism Strategy and Alleged British Ties to the Muslim Brotherhood

While Bessent was putting London on notice regarding its shell corporations and shadow banking, the White House was putting them on notice on another front.

This is from the just-released White House counterterrorism strategy. It says, "President Trump knows that all modern jihadi groups, from Al Qaeda to ISIS to Hamas, can trace their roots back to one organization, the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is the root of all modern Islamist terrorism predicated

on recreating the Muslim caliphate and killing or enslaving non-Muslims. Given the Muslim Brotherhood's key role in promoting modern terrorism, we will continue to designate its branches across the Mideast and beyond as foreign terrorist organizations to crush the organization everywhere it operates." That's the president of the

United States identifying the Muslim Brotherhood as the root of all modern Islamist terrorism. Well, if it's the root, who planted the seed? After decades of sponsoring and protecting various radical Islamic fundamentalist figures,

British intelligence settled on the Muslim Brotherhood back in nineteen twenty-eight in Ismailiya, Egypt.

That's where the British Suez Canal Company and the British military were headquartered. The British Suez Canal Company helped the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood build the mosque, which became its base of operations.

And from then on, the Muslim Brotherhood was used by British intelligence, and often their little brothers in American intelligence, against nationalist movements throughout the Mideast, all of this to protect the empire's economic and strategic position. Now, if you want to dive into the history of this,

check out either or both of these two books: Robert Dreyfuss' Devil's Game or Mark Curtis' Secret Affairs. Both are extensively researched and documented, but Curtis' background makes his especially interesting.

He's a former research fellow at the empire's Chatham House, and he researched his book based on British government records and declassified documents. And using that material, he shows, in particular, direct British government ties to the Egyptian, Lebanese, and Jordanian branches of the Brotherhood.

Guess what three branches have been specifically designated by the Trump administration under the Foreign Terrorist Organization provision? Here's what the report says.

"That is why he," the president, "took the historic step of issuing an executive order that declared the original Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood chapter, along with the Jordanian and Lebanese chapters, as foreign terrorist organizations, soon to be followed by others." Those three

chapters Trump designated, Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon, are the exact same three organizations that appear in the British government's own declassified foreign office files as British operational assets, built, funded, and deployed by London.

And here's the part that closes the loop.

When Curtis filed Freedom of Information requests for details on the Foreign Office's more recent contacts with the Brotherhood, meetings that the British media is not going to report, the Foreign Office refused to release them, citing the public interest.

Well, it's in their interest, not yours, because London built the network, it used the network, and it is still actively concealing what it is doing with the network today.

So whether it's financial flows or whether it's these networks themselves, that is what Bessent is targeting.

That is what Trump is targeting when the counterterrorism strategy says, "Crush the Brotherhood everywhere it operates." The arrow points at one address: London.
