Why genuine protestors around the world must get streetwise about how the game is being played.

'The protest movement is directed against the US and its proxy Muslim Brotherhood regime.
The Muslim Brotherhood had been spearheaded into the government with the support of Washington as a “replacement” rather than an “alternative” to Hosni Mubarak, who had faithfully obeyed the orders of the Washington Consensus from the outset of his presidency.
While the Armed Forces have cracked down on the Muslim Brotherhood, the Coup d’Etat is ultimately intended to manipulate the protest movement and prevent the accession of a “real people’s government”. The overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi by the Egyptian Armed forces was not carried out against US interests, it was instigated to ensure “continuity” on behalf of Washington.'

Flashback to 2011: ElBaradei Outed by Own Movement as Western Stooge
'Now almost a year after the US-engineered "Arab Spring" began, it seems protest leader Mohamed ElBaradei has predictably outlived his usefulness, albeit much sooner than expected. According to Egypt's Almasry Alyoum, a member of ElBaradei's own National Front for Change, Mamdouh Hamza, has outed him as "having strong ties to Zionist institutions" and sitting directly on the board of trustees of George Soros' International Crisis Group. ElBaradei, who has been fighting similar (and true) accusations for months, is now facing perhaps an irrevocable setback emanating from within his own movement.'

Elbaradei and the International Crisis Group
'ElBaradei served on the Board of Trustees of the International Crisis Group, a non-governmental organization that enjoys an annual budget of over $15 million and is bankrolled by the Carnegie, the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as George Soros’ Open Society Institute. Soros himself serves as a member of the organization’s Executive Committee.'

'Parliament will be embroiled in another expenses scandal unless MPs are given an above-inflation pay rise, parliament's independent adviser has warned.'

MPs use children to claim more expenses
'The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) has given the MPs special dispensation to claim higher expenses to rent bigger properties and to pay for their children’s travel.
The rules were relaxed in 2011 following lobbying from MPs who can now claim thousands of pounds extra for each child they register with the expenses regulator.
At least nine Government ministers have registered to benefit, Ipsa has disclosed. Some MPs have made more than £10,000 on the scheme. Such a perk would not be available in the private sector and will add to the debate over the pay and perks packages of MPs.'

Jet set John Bercow: How the Speaker's 20-stop global tour helped rack up £100,000 in travel expenses in three years (including an £84 bill for a limo to drive just one mile)
'Commons Speaker John Bercow has run up a £100,000 bill in just three years on a taxpayer-funded tour of Britain and the world, MailOnline can reveal.
Details of the huge costs include jetting off to almost 20 countries, trips to have his portrait painted and an official car to take him just one mile up the road to tour the offices of the MPs' expenses watchdog.
The revelations have sparked a furious response from MPs, who have been targeted by Mr Bercow with a string of increasingly irate outbursts in the Commons in recent days.'
