So, we’re going to fight propaganda with propaganda. Using a Muslim who is very close to the Muslim Brotherhood. Shocker. They’ve totally infiltrated the White House and our government. They were invited in by Obama. Here’s a memo for our leaders… you can’t beat the Islamic State by Tweeting. You actually have to go to war and get bloody. They know this – this is faux combat using someone who is sympathetic to the Ummah and the Caliphate. It’s also another excuse to grow government agencies exponentially and regulate more. Obama wants much larger federal departments, including the Pentagon, Homeland Security and intelligence agencies. That is bad news for our freedoms and the Constitution.

From Breitbart:

The Obama administration is revamping its efforts to combat Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) propaganda. ISIS and its supporters produce “as many as 90,000 tweets and other social media responses every day,” reports The New York Times.

An empowered Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, currently a small component of the U.S. State Department, will spearhead the new campaign to fight the ISIS propaganda machine.

Rashad Hussain, a Muslim American with close ties to the White House, will replace Alberto Fernandez, the center’s director, according to The Times.

Hussain, who has reportedly participated in events linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, currently serves as Obama’s special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. He will take over when Fernandez retires in April.

“Hussain, a devout Muslim, has a history of participating in events connected with the Muslim Brotherhood,” reported Cal Thomas in an article published by Townhall.

Citing Egypt’s Rose El-Youssef magazine, The Investigative Project on Terrorism reported that Hussain “maintained close ties with people and groups that [the magazine] says comprise the Muslim Brotherhood network in America.”

Some critics describe Hussain as a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer. He is not a confirmed member of the group.

An added component called the Information Coordination Cell will be part of the newly revamped center.

It will be “staffed by intelligence and Pentagon analysts among others” and “will be responsible for the broader coordination functions.”

“Skeptics of the new [anti-propaganda] campaign voiced concerns that the program is an attempt by the White House to end a long-simmering turf war with the counterterrorism center’s director, Alberto Fernandez, and exercise more control over the kinds of messages that are produced and coordinated with domestic and international partners,” notes The Times.

“Other officials questioned whether even a newly empowered center at the State Department would be up to the task. Operating the center on a shoestring budget of about $5 million a year, Mr. Fernandez, a respected Middle East specialist and career Foreign Service officer, and his supporters have long complained that neither the State Department nor the White House fully supported or properly financed the center’s activities,” the article adds.

The Obama administration plans “to harness all the existing attempts at counter-messaging by much larger federal departments, including the Pentagon, Homeland Security and intelligence agencies,” explains The Times.

Obama is cleaning house in the government and the military. He is placing new sycophants in those positions that will be loyal to him and his agenda – even after he leaves office. Hussain is thick with the Brotherhood… he attends their events and hangs out with them. You are known by who you keep company with. In the end, this propaganda will be used against America, which was the intent from the beginning. Now that Obama has his guy heading it up, the money spigot will be turned on full force. Hussain is much more likely to help ISIS than counter them. Danger, Will Robinson, danger.
