Mass Protests Rock Egypt


Mass Protests Rock Egypt

'Washington engineered Hosni Mubarak's ouster. He fell from grace. He opposed Obama's regional agenda. It cost him dearly.
He became more liability than asset. Mohammed Morsi replaced him. He's Washington's man in Egypt. Hard line rule continues. Morsi's its public face. Egypt's anti-democratic tradition persists. Junta power rules. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) runs things.
Politicians serve them. Elections don't matter. They provide a veneer of democratic change. It's illusory. It's fake. It's not real. Wealth, power and privilege are served. Popular interests go begging. Washington wields enormous influence. Morsi's a US stooge. He's beholden to America's demands. He serves its "greater Middle East" agenda. He better or he's out.

'The Egyptian army has given politicians 48 hours to meet the demands of the people and resolve the ongoing political crisis in the African country.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Egyptian Armed Forces General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said in a Monday statement that if political forces fail to agree to the popular demands, the military will offer its own road map to end the crisis.
“If the demands of the people are not realized within the defined period, it will be incumbent upon (the armed forces) ... to announce a road map for the future,” said the statement by al-Sisi. He further said the Egyptian people have expressed their will with “unprecedented” clarity in their nationwide protests, adding, “Wasting more time will lead only to more division ... which we have warned and continue to warn against.”'

Zero Point – The Spiral of Civilization

'Extremely thorough dot connecting and well put together information to help grasp the bigger picture of our previous civilizations and their intended encoded messages to us, the generations of the future.
