It seems like just yesterday when the occupant of the Oval Office was making the case for intervention in Libya where Muslims were in danger of humanitarian crimes by long-time dictator Muammar Gaddafi. It was then that the occupant worked closely with al Qaeda in providing air support, supply lines and on-ground advisors to overthrow Gaddafi. He also supported al Qaeda in other countries as part of the Arab Spring uprisings that began in December 2010. His foreign policy partner the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) provided political organizational structure and al Qaeda the military aspect to spark civil unrest and threaten governments throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa. Curious how things change.

Or remain the same. The occupant has, as international policy think tank Gatestone Institute puts it in an April 15, 2013 report, "...proactively chose to reach out to the [Muslim] Brotherhood, its affiliates, and supporters for advice, training and even administration appointments." The MB helps fund al Qaeda. Gatestone writes: "The current administration's weeks-long duplicity in the aftermath of the 11 September 2012 terror attack on the US mission in Benghazi, Libya, when it repeatedly and mendaciously claimed that an Internet video trailer sparked a protest there that got out of hand, appears to have been carefully scripted not just with the OIC but Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the US, as well."

Gatestone lists several Muslim Brotherhood network operatives that have influenced US policy toward Islam dating back to the Clinton Administration both as close confidants and as political appointees. Gatestone reports that under the current Administration: "US policy has undergone such a drastic shift in the direction of outright support for these jihadist movements--from al-Qa'eda militias in Libya, to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and both al-Qa'eda and Muslim Brotherhood-linked rebels in Syria--that it is scarcely recognizable as American any more. The infiltration of individuals...with such close Muslim Brotherhood identifications, to positions of influence at the highest levels of US policymaking must be considered, at a minimum, a contributing factor."

What do we make of the current headlines that al Qaeda is now a threat to all US embassies and that the occupant's drones have killed four al Qaeda operatives in Yemen? There is great deception taking place. The current White House is in league with the MB, which is in league with al Qaeda. What seems to be is not. 2 Timothy 3:13 says, "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived." The riddle before us is what is the motive of one who appears as both an ally and an enemy? Jesus says in John 10:10, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy." The ultimate thief is satan. The thief before us is an elected official who is deceptive and treasonous.
