- NavySeals.com has posted the complete article from Jewish
Community News of a speech given by former U.S. Deputy Attorney John Loftus:
-
- Below is an excerpt of the speech:
-
- Here's how the story began. In the 1920's there was a
young Egyptian named al Bana. And al Bana formed this nationalist group
called the Muslim Brotherhood. Al Bana was a devout admirer of Adolph Hitler
and wrote to him frequently. So persistent was he in his admiration of
the new Nazi Party that in the 1930's, al Bana and the Muslim Brotherhood
became a secret arm of Nazi Intelligence.
-
- The Arab Nazis had much in common with the new Nazi doctrines.
They hated Jews; they hated democracy; and they hated the Western culture.
It became the official policy of the Third Reich to secretly develop the
Muslim Brotherhood as the fifth Parliament, an army inside Egypt.
-
- When war broke out, the Muslim Brotherhood promised in
writing that they would rise up and help General Rommell and make sure
that no English or American soldier was left alive in Cairo or Alexandria.
-
- The Muslim Brotherhood began to expand in scope and influence
during World War II. They even had a Palestinian section headed by the
grand Mufti of Jerusalem, one of the great bigots of all time. Here, too,
was a man - - The grand Mufti of Jerusalem was the Muslim Brotherhood representative
for Palestine. These were undoubtedly Arab Nazis. The Grand Mufti, for
example, went to Germany during the war and helped recruit an international
SS division of Arab Nazis. They based it in Croatia and called it the "Handjar"
Muslim Division, but it was to become the core of Hitler's new army of
Arab fascists that would conquer the Arab peninsula from then on to Africa
-- grand dreams.
-
- At the end of World War II, the Muslim Brotherhood was
wanted for war crimes. Their German intelligence handlers were captured
in Cairo. The whole net was rolled up by the British Secret Service. Then
a horrible thing happened.
-
- Instead of prosecuting the Nazis - - the Muslim Brotherhood
- - the British government hired them. They brought all the fugitive Nazi
war criminals of Arab and Muslim descent into Egypt, and for three years
they were trained on a special mission. The British Secret Service wanted
to use the fascists of the Muslim Brotherhood to strike down the infant
state of Israel in 1948. Only a few people in the Mossad know this, but
many of the members of the Arab Armies and terrorist groups that tried
to strangle the infant State of Israel were the Arab Nazis of the Muslim
Brotherhood.
-
- Britain was not alone. The French Intelligence service
cooperated by releasing the Grand Mufti and smuggling him to Egypt, so
all of the Arab Nazis came together. So, from 1945 to 1948, the British
Secret Service protected every Arab Nazi they could, but they failed to
quash the State of Israel.
-
- What the British did then, they sold the Arab Nazis to
the predecessor of what became the CIA. It may sound stupid; it may sound
evil, but it did happen. The idea was that we were going to use the Arab
Nazis in the Middle East as a counterweight to the Arab communists. Just
as the Soviet Union was funding Arab communists, we would fund the Arab
Nazis to fight against. And lots of secret classes took place. We kept
the Muslim Brotherhood on our payroll.
-
- But the Egyptians became nervous. Nasser ordered all
of the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egypt or be imprisoned, and we would execute
them all. During the 1950's, the CIA evacuated the Nazis of the Muslim
Brotherhood to Saudi Arabia. Now when they arrived in Saudi Arabia, some
of the leading lights of the Muslim Brotherhood like Azzam, became the
teachers in the Madrasas, the religious schools. And there they combined
the doctrines of Nazism with this weird Islamic cult, Wahhabiism.
-
- Everyone thinks that Islam is this fanatical religion,
but it is not. They think that Islam -- the Saudi version of Islam - -is
typical, but it's not. The Wahhabi cult was condemned as a heresy more
than 60 times by the Muslim nations. But when the Saudis got wealthy, they
bought a lot of silence. This is a very harsh cult. The Wahhabiism was
only practiced by two nations, the Taliban and Saudi Arabia. That's how
extreme it is. It really has nothing to do with Islam. Islam is a very
peaceful and tolerant religion. It has always had good relationships with
the Jews for the first thousand years of its existence.
-
- For the Saudis, there was a ruler in charge of Saudi
Arabia, and they were the new home of the Muslim Brotherhood, and fascism
and extremism were mingled in these schools. And there was a young student
who paid attention - - and Azzam's student was named Osama Bin Ladin. Osama
Bin Ladin was taught by the Nazis of the Muslim Brotherhood who had emigrated
to Saudi Arabia.
-
- In 1979 the CIA decided to take the Arab Nazis out of
cold storage. The Russians had invaded Afghanistan, so we told the Saudis
that we would fund them if they would bring all of the Arab Nazis together
and ship them off to Afghanistan to fight the Russians. We had to rename
them. We couldn't call them the Muslim Brotherhood because that was too
sensitive a name. Its Nazi cast was too known. So we called them the Maktab
al Khidimat il Mujahideen, the MAK.
-
- And the CIA lied to Congress and said they didn't know
who was on the payroll in Afghanistan, except the Saudis. But it was not
true. A small section CIA knew perfectly well that we had once again hired
the Arab Nazis and that we were using them to fight our secret wars.
-
- Azzam and his assistant, Osama Bin Ladin, rose to some
prominence from 1979 to '89, and they won the war. They drove the Russians
out of Afghanistan. Our CIA said, "We won, let's go home!" and
we left this army of Arab fascists in the field of Afghanistan.
-
- Saudis didn't want to come back. Saudis started paying
bribes to Osama Bin Ladin and his followers to stay out of Saudi Arabia.
Now the MAK split in half. Azzam was mysteriously assassinated apparently
by Osama Bin Ladin himself. The radical group -- the most radical of the
merge of the Arab fascists and religious extremists -- Osama called that
al Qaeda. But to this day there are branches of the Muslim Brotherhood
all through al Qaeda.
-
- Osama Bin Ladin's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri,
came from the Egyptian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian Islamic
Jihad, the results of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
-
- There are many flavors and branches, but they are all
Muslim Brotherhoods. There is one in Israel. The organization you know
as "Hammas" is actually a secret chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood.
When Israel assassinated Sheik Yassin a month ago, the Muslim Brotherhood
published his obituary in a Cairo newspaper in Arabic and revealed that
he was actually the secret leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza.
-
- So the Muslim Brotherhood became this poison that spread
throughout the Middle East and on 9/11, it began to spread around the world.
-
- I know this sounds like some sort of a sick fantasy,
but go to your computer and type in the words "Vanna," V-a-n-n-a
and the word "Nazi," N-a-z-i, and you will see all of the articles
come up. Those are all the pieces of information that the CIA was trying
to hide from its employees. It did not want them to know the awful past.
So, in 1984, when I was exposing European Nazis on the CIA payroll, at
the same time they were trying to hide from Congress the fact that they
had Arab Nazis back on the payroll to fight the Russians -- a stupid and
corrupt program.
-
- So, when Bob Baer studied his files, he was just stunned.
A whole generation: the current CIA people know nothing about this. And
believe me, the current generation CIA are good and decent Americans and
I like them a lot. They're trying to do a good job, but part of their problem
is their files have been shredded. All of these secrets have to come out.
-
- So, of course, my clients in the intelligence community
said, "Well, what are you doing?" They gave me an example. They
said, "Here's how the Saudis finance these groups. The Saudis have
established a group of charities on a street in Virginia. It's 555 Grove
St., Herndon, Virginia." So I said, "OK the Saudis are terrorists,
so what?" These charities fund Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah,
al Qaeda. The Saudis are getting tax deductions for terrorism. They have
set up front groups so all the terrorists groups in the U.S. and the front
groups get the Saudi money as a charitable donation.
-
- I said, "You're kidding me." Nope. And they
told me that right near where I lived in Tampa, Florida was one of the
leading terrorists in the world. There were these two professors at the
University of South Florida. One had just left -- and he was now in Syria
-- and he was the world head of Islamic Jihad. His number two, the head
of Islamic Jihad in the Western Hemisphere, was Dr. Sami al-Arian, who
is still employed as a professor at the University of South Florida. You've
got to be kidding. This can't be true.
-
- Yes, these guys are raising money all across America
and shipping it to Syria to go down to Palestine, the Palestinian areas,
and hire suicide bombers to kill Jews. They sent me the videotapes. There
was Professor al-Arian on stage and one of his friends gets up and says,
"Now, who will give me $500 to kill a Jew? There are people standing
by in Jerusalem who will go out in the street and stab a Jew with a knife,
but we need $500." And he said, "All of this money will go to
the Islamic committee for Palestine." And that is the front group
in the United States for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
-
- So I had all my friends in the FBI and CIA send in these
files. I said, "Why haven't you prosecuted this guy? You've known
about him since 1989." "We'd love to. We've tried to prosecute
him but we were told we couldn't touch him because he gets all of his money
from the Saudis, and we are all under orders not to do anything to embarrass
the Saudi government."
-
- I said, "I don't mind embarrassing them." You
know what I did? I donated money to the charity that was the terrorist
fund, because under Florida law, that gave me the right to sue the charity
to find out where my money was going. It was hilarious.
-
- In early March, 2002, I drafted a long lawsuit exposing
Professor Sami al-Arian, naming all the crimes he'd committed, all the
bombings in Israel, the fundraising in America with terrorism. I mentioned
how his money got to him from the Saudis and how the Saudis had convinced
our government not to prosecute him for political reasons. Because of my
high-level security clearances, everything I write is sort of classified
material and has to be sent back to the government before publication,
for censorship. So I sent my long lawsuit complaint to the CIA, and they
loved it. They said, "Oh, great. We don't like the Saudis either.
Go sue them."
-
- Three days later two FBI Agents showed up at my door,
saying, "You know, there are only 21 people in the U.S. government
that knew some of this information, and now you're 22. How did you find
out?" I said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you, attorney-client privilege."
That's why my clients pay me $1.00 each.
-
- The day before I went to file the lawsuit, I got a frantic
phone call from the United States Department of Justice. They said, "John,
please don't file the lawsuit tomorrow. We really are going to raid these
Saudi charities. We're going to close them down. Just give us more time."
"Oh yeah, you're going to raid them. That's what you told me in January
- - and again in February, and now it's March. You want more time? I'll
give you until 4:00 o'clock tomorrow. I'm filing my complaint at 10:00
a.m., so that at 4:00 p.m., I'm going to release the address of the Saudi
charities. Back tomorrow. I filed my lawsuit at 10:00 o'clock, and told
the press I was going to hold something back for a little bit.
-
- At 10:15, the U.S. Government launched Operation Greenquest,
a massive raid on all the Saudi charities in homes and businesses, and
in one hour we shut down the entire Saudi money-laundering network in America.
-
- From March 20, 2002 to the present, the government has
found more and more evidence seized in those archives on that single raid
that day. The evidence was so compelling that Professor al-Arian is no
longer giving his speeches. He is now in federal prison awaiting trial.
His accomplice, Hammoudeh, has also been indicted. Some 32 different people
have been indicted in the United States as a direct result of these efforts.
-
- But not the Saudis -- not the Saudis.
-
- A month after I filed my lawsuit against al-Arian, I
did it: I caused some trouble. I invited some 40 of the top trial lawyers
in America to come down to St. Petersburg, Florida. Boy, did I have a deal
for them. I wanted them to put up millions of dollars of their own money
-- I'm poor, I had no money to give them -- but I wanted to do something
for America.
-
- These are lawyers like Ron Motley that had won billions
of dollars in their lawsuits against the tobacco industry and the asbestos
industry. I said, "What I want you to do is look at the evidence I've
collected. It's the same Saudi banks and charities that funded Sami al-Arian
that also funded al Qaeda." I said, "I want you to bring a class
action in Federal Court in Washington on behalf of everyone who died on
Sept. 11th. I'm going to work for free and collect all the evidence, introduce
you to the experts, provide all the exhibits and documents . . . and we
have to do this for America."
-
- The lawyers studied all the documents I collected, and
on August 15, 2002, they filed the largest class-action lawsuit in American
history in the Federal District Court in Washington D.C., asking for one
trillion dollars damages against the Saudis. The lawsuit said essentially
that all these Saudi banks had one thing in common. They were bribing Osama
bin Ladin 300 million dollars a year to stay out of Saudi Arabia and go
blow up someone else.
-
- Well, on 9/11, we found out we were someone else, and
the Saudis had to pay for their negligence. So that lawsuit is coming along
very well.
-
- And more and more people in the CIA and FBI are sort
of using me as a back channel to get our information. So, believe it or
not, they've actually given me my own TV show now on Sunday mornings on
FOX TV nationwide. I'm on at 11:20 eastern standard time. And ABC Radio
has given me a national radio program, but I'm on at 10:30 at night and
it's past your bedtime.
-
- What I've become in my old age is a teacher. Twenty-five
years ago I was a lot younger, a lot thinner, but now every day I get 500
to 1,000 e-mails from honest men and women around the world from the intelligence
community.
-
- And we have to end the evil in this world. We have to
recognize that al Qaeda simply didn't spring up on its own. The evil route
was Nazism. The al Qaeda Doctrine is the same as the Arab Nazis held. They
hated Jews, they hate democracy, and they hate Westerners for Western culture.
Al Qaeda is nothing more than the religious expression of Arab Fascism.
We allowed this branch of the Nazi trunk to survive, to flourish, and it
has come back to haunt us.
-
- We must do a better job. Look at these children. They
are our legacy. If we are to keep our children safe, we must teach them
the lessons of the past. Every generation should know what these candles
mean. Not only that one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the
world really happened, but the evil that caused it -- Nazism -- survived
because we didn't fight hard enough. We didn't finish the job.
-
- But we must tell our children that in every generation
the men and women of America have stood side by side with our Jewish, Christian,
and Moslem brothers. We have risen up together against hatred. America
is united now.
-
- We will win the war on terror, and we will finish the
job that these soldiers and survivors started more than a half-century
ago. We must set the standard that to teach a child to hate is the worst
form of child abuse. We must work together to end racism in our children's
lifetime. We must teach our children to remember the Holocaust and be proud,
so proud of those who survived and inspired us with their courage. In their
name, in their honor, let us go forward and fight together. NEVER AGAIN
