At the 5:11 mark, Susan Kokinda pulls up a page to recently released, United States Counterterrorism Strategy.  Find her quote at the bottom of page 11 under Section B "The Middle East" of the United States Counterterrorism Strategy, released May 2026.

President Trump knows that all modern Jihadi groups, from al Qaeda to ISIS to Hamas, can trace their roots back to one organization: the Muslim Brotherhood. The MB is the root of all modern Islamist terrorism predicated on recreating the Muslim Caliphate and killing or enslaving non11 Muslims. That is why he took the historic step of issuing an Executive Order that declared the original Egyptian MB chapter, along with the Jordanian and Lebanese chapters, as FTOs, soon to be followed by others. Given the Muslim Brotherhood’s key role in promoting modern terrorism, we will continue to designate its branches across the Middle East and beyond as FTOs to crush the organization everywhere it operates.

5:46. That's the president of the United States identifying the Muslim Brotherhood as the root of all modern islamist terrorism.  Well, if it's the root, who planted the seed?  After decades of sponsoring and protecting various radical islamist Fundamentalist leaders, British intelligence settled on the Muslim Brotherhood back in 1928 in Ismailia, Egypt.  That's where the British Suez Canal company and the British military were headquartered.  The British Suez Canal company helped the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood build the mosque which became its base of operations.  And from then on the Muslim Brotherhood was used by intelligence and often their little brothers in American intelligence against nationalist movements throughout the Middle East.  All of this to protect the Empire's economic and strategic positions.  Now, if you want to dive into the history of this, check out either or both of these two books:

Devil's Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam, Robert Dreyfuss, 2006.

Secret Affairs: Britain's Collusion with Radical Islam, Mark Curtis, 2010.  Curtis is a former research fellow at the Empire's Chatham House.
