Egypt increases pressure on Ikhwan, Stephen Coughlin interview on new book and the Mayor of Jerusalem is a real action hero

(Before It's News)

1. Egypt charges 215 Muslim Brotherhood supporters

(Obama should reconsider any plans to holiday in Sharm el-Sheikh)

Egypt has charged 215 supporters of the banned Muslim Brotherhood with forming a militant group.

The country’s chief prosecutor accused the group – known as the Helwan Brigades – of killing six policemen and possessing weapons and ammunition.

More than half of those charged are already in custody.

Thousands of Muslim Brotherhood members have been arrested since then-army head Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ousted the group from power in 2013 and later banned it.

Mr al-Sisi was elected president last year and continued the campaign against the brotherhood and other Islamist groups.

2. Jerusalem Mayor Speaks after Apprehending Terrorist

Here is the actual attack:

And afterwards on a phone cam:

(In a rational world, the mayor of Jerusalem would be a freaking hero in all the world’s media. It will be interesting as well as depressing and disheartening to see how he is teated instead.)

3. Interview with Stephen Coughlin: National Security Expert: U.S. Foreign Policy Leaders ‘Have Lost The Ability To Think’

From his time briefing generals in the Pentagon, Stephen Coughlin — a leading expert on national security and author of the soon-to-be-published book, “Catastrophic Failure: Blindfolding America in the Face of Jihad” — has always feared for our nation’s safety and thinks it’s time for the government to stop lying.

Coughlin is an attorney, decorated intelligence officer and expert on Islamic law and terrorism. He says the “entire world, friend and foe alike, understands, that starting with the Bush administration and accelerating in the Obama administration, that our foreign policy community is absolutely incoherent and completely vulnerable. These people have lost the ability to think.”

Thank you Wrath of Khan, M., and all who sent in materials. More later.
