MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, NAZIS AND AL QAEDA
SPEECH BY JOHN LOFTUS, FORMER U.S. DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
Holocaust Remembrance Day
Yom Ha Shoah - 2004
Jewish Community News, August 2004
It always seems a little strange to have an Irish-Catholic talking about Yom Ha
Shoah.
I had an unusual education in the Holocaust. When I was working for the Attorney
General, I was assigned to do the classified research about the Holocaust, so I
went underground to a little town called Suitland, Maryland, right outside
Washington, D.C. and that's where the US Government buries its secrets - -
literally.
There are twenty vaults underground and each vault is one acre in size. Anyone
see the movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark”? The last scene of that movie is
what the underground vaults are really like, only not as organized as they are
in the movie. And in those underground vaults I discovered something horrible.
I learned that many of the Nazis that I had been assigned to prosecute were on
the CIA payroll, but the CIA didn't know they were Nazis because the British
Intelligence Service had lied to them. What the British Intelligence Service
didn't know was that their liar was Kim Philby, the Soviet communist double
agent -- a little scandal of the Cold War. But our State Department swept it all
under the rug and allowed the Nazis to stay in America until I was stupid enough
to go public with it.
What do you do when you want to go public with a story like this one? You call
up “60 Minutes.” We had a great time. Mike Wallace gave me 30 minutes on his
show. For a long time, it was the longest segment that 60 minutes ever did. When
the episode about Nazis in America went on the air back in 1982, it caused a
minor national uproar. Congress demanded hearings, Mike Wallace got the Emmy
award, and my family got the death threats. It was a great trip.
Then a funny thing happened. Over the last 25 years, every retired spy in the
U.S. and Canada and England all wanted me to be their lawyer, for free of
course. So I had 500 clients, they paid me $1 apiece. So I am the worst paid
lawyer in America, but among the better employed.
Let me give you an example. This year a friend of mine from the CIA, named Bob
Baer wrote a very good book about Saudi Arabia and terrorism, it's called
“Sleeping with the Devil.” I read the book and I got about a third of the
way through and I stopped. Bob was writing how when he worked for the CIA how
bad the files were.
He said, for example, the files for the Muslim Brotherhood were almost nothing.
There were just a few newspaper clippings. I called Bob up and said, “Bob,
that's wrong. The CIA has enormous files on the Muslim Brotherhood, volumes of
them. I know because I read them a quarter of a century ago.” He said, “What
do you mean?”
Here's how you can find all of the missing secrets about the Muslim Brotherhood
-- and you can do this too. I said, “Bob, go to your computer and type in two
words into the search part. Type the word “Banna,” B-a-n-n-a. He said,
“Yeah.” Type in “Nazi.” Bob typed the two words in, and out came 30 to
40 articles from around the world. He read them and called me back and said,
“Oh my God, what have we done?”
What I'm doing today is doing what I'm doing now: I'm educating a new generation
in the CIA that the Muslim Brotherhood was a fascist organization that was hired
by Western Intelligence that evolved over time into what we today know as al
Qaeda.
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 “Banna,” B-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
