More on Frank Wisner, Obama's Envoy to Egypt: "Ideal Time for Mubarak to Show the Way Forward"

The US State Department is furiously trying to disavow what Mr. "Friend of Mubarak" Wisner said earlier today, as recounted in my post:

We need to get a national consensus around the pre-conditions for the next step forward. The president must stay in office to steer those changes.

But wait, there's more! This true friend of Mubarak said the following:

The president must stay in office in order to steer those changes through. I therefore believe that President Mubarak's continued leadership is critical, it's his opportunity to write his own legacy. He's given 60 years of his life to the service of his country. This is an ideal moment for him to show the way forward.

Incredible in a true sense of the word. Go see for yourself at BBC.

Who Is Frank G. Wisner, Obama's Special Envoy to Egypt?

No matter what the light-weight, empty-suit occupant of the White House says about the situation in Egypt - "Mubarak has to go, now", it is always the action that reveals his (in this case, his handlers') intention.

And that action was to appoint Frank G. Wisner II as the Special Envoy to Egypt on January 31, 2011.

And who is Frank G. Wisner II, who's described as "respected elder of the foreign establishment" by New York Times?

Well, New York Times leaves out some important details.

His most recent work was not in the diplomatic circle. It was AIG. Remember the company that was bailed out by the US taxpayers so that it could distribute the money to TBTF Wall Street banks (most notably Goldman Sachs) and European banks and other multinational conglomerates? He was the Vice Chairman of AIG until he retired from the post in February 2009 after the bailout was secure.

And before AIG? Oh my he was at Enron! He joined the board of an Enron subsidiary (Enron Oil & Gas Company) in 1997, after several years of diplomatic service in the Philippines (1991-1992) and India (1994-1997) during which he tirelessly helped Enron win lucrative contracts.

Oh wait, he is still a board member at this Enron subsidiary, who has changed the name to EOG Resources.

He is the son of Frank G. Wisner, master spook who was the head of the OSS.

And lastly, he is a close, personal friend of Hosni Mubarak, going back decades. Thus the comment like this (from Al Jazeera Live Blog, February 5):

8:07pm Hosni Mubarak must stay in power for the time being, says Frank Wisner, Barack Obama's special envoy for Egypt.

We need to get a national consensus around the pre-conditions for the next step forward. The president must stay in office to steer those changes.

So Obama sends out a diplomat/businessman who exploited the public (diplomatic) position fully to enrich a very corrupt (criminal) private company after another, who has personal ties to the Egyptian dictator whom the protesters want out (the whole point of this 2-week long protest), as the Special Envoy.

Amazing, isn't it?

Change we can believe in. (Always believe in the insider elite to do the right thing - for their friends.)
