Some people are laughing about this video. They think that “polite robber” is a hilarious thing. It’s not. This is a tragedy which happens every day in the Imperial Homeland (aka the “USA”): millions of unemployed people loose it all, not because of their fault, but because of the absolute control which corrupt billionaires have over the US regime. Unlike what happens in every developed country on the planet, in
“Emir Dokku Abu Usman” According to the BBC, the self-styled “Emir of the Caucasus Emirate” and former “President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria” Doku Umarov (aka “Emir Dokku Abu Usman”) has declared in reference to the bombing of the Domodedovo airport in Moscow that “”This special operation was carried out on my orders and, God willing, special operations like it will continue to be carried out“. Fair enough –
Al-Jazeera reports: Suleiman meets with Israeli president Shimon Peres in Tel Aviv On January 29, Omar Suleiman, Egypt’s top spy chief, was anointed vice president by tottering dictator, Hosni Mubarak. By appointing Suleiman, part of a shake-up of the cabinet in an attempt to appease the masses of protesters and retain his own grip on the presidency, Mubarak has once again shown his knack for devilish shrewdness. Suleiman has long
Yep. The biggest crook, and arguably the most dishonest US president ever, has actually had the nerve to speak about “change” again. CBC News reports that he declared that: Egypt will not go back to what it was and is ready for political change, U.S. President Barack Obama said Sunday night, adding that the popular opposition group the Muslim Brotherhood does not have majority support in the country. I am
The Lebanese Resistance website reports: Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said on Thursday that the democracy the US speaks of is that “we saw in Egypt in the Tahrir square, the democracy of horses and camels and that of “baltagiya” (gangs) attacking the peaceful Muslim protestors. Addressing a group of military commanders in Babolsar, Mazandaran province, Larijani pointed out that the gangs’ attack on the Egyptian people in the Tahrir square,
(Please consider the following as the superficial musings and impressions of an interested observer who openly admits that he does not know Egypt and does not pretend to understand what is happening there – me. The Saker) Wow! The folks at Tahrir square have been there for two weeks, and yet judging by live shots from al-Jazeera the square is still full of people, and that is at night. I
From one of my readers: I received the following message this morning from a close friend in Egypt, who is very much engaged in the events now consuming the country. Since I received this note, some new dramatic events have transpired. President Obama’s special Egypt envoy, Frank Wisner, a former U.S. Ambassador there and a close friend of President Mubarak, spoke at the Wehrkunde conference in Munich, and announced that
According to the BBC, Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak “must stay in office” during a power transition, a US special envoy says. This statement would not have been made if the US imperial high command had not concluded that Mubarak has the resources it takes to remain in power. This tells me that the USraelians have struck a deal with the police/security/military commanders in Egypt. If the “Egyptian spring” is really
The Russian magazine “Life News” has obtained the name of the 20 year old suicide bomber who detonated himself inside Moscow’s Domodedovo airport. He is Magomed (Mohamed) Evloev, a resident of Ali-Iurt in Ingushetia. The Russian FSB has so far neither denied nor confirmed this information. But if this information is correct, one can only wonder what Vladimir Putin meant when he said this explosion was not linked to the
The BBC reports: The BBC’s Lina Sinjab says that for the demonstrators, the rally “is only the beginning and the protests will continue” More than 20,000 anti-government protesters gathered in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, for a “day of rage” against President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The demonstrators called for a change in government and rejected Mr Saleh’s offer to step down in 2013 after more than 30 years in power. Meanwhile,
Al-Jazeera reports: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader has called the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia an “Islamic liberation movement”. In his address, during Friday prayers at Tehran University, he said that people are witnessing the reverberations of Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution. Khamenei said of the current unrest that “this is what was always referred to as … Islamic awareness in connection with Iran’s great Islamic Revolution.” Khamenei has urged
Haaretz reports: Dale Streisand, 57, was reportedly denied new immigrant status on the grounds that his Facebook profile indicated he had been involved in Christian missionary activity in the past. Totally nuts. There are just no other words to describe absolutely ridiculous extremes to which Jewish racism has brought the so-called “Jewish state of Israel”. This is hardly big news (this kind of nonsense has been going on for decades),
Press TV reports: Egypt’s public prosecutor has issued a travel ban on a number of ministers and officials from the former government as protests against embattled president Hosni Mubarak gain momentum. The ministers are former interior minister, Habib al-Adly, former housing minister, Ahmed al-Maghrabi, and former tourism minister Zuhair Garana. A former National Democratic Party member is also among those banned from leaving the country. The bank accounts of these
US and Israeli Ziocrazies are suing Jimmy Carter for anti-Israeli propaganda. A copy of the complaint can be viewed here.
After a full night of pitched battles between pro and anti Mubarak demonstrators, the Egyptian Prime Minister is going on TV and assures the press corps that such violence will not be repeated in the future even though while he is speaking the violence continues unabated. Amazing, ridiculous and utterly disgusting. This regime does not even have the courage of its own repression…
Al-Jazeera is reporting that military vehicles are circulating around Tahrir square telling people to return inside their apartments and not even lean out of windows. My understanding is that while anti-Mubarak demonstrators are still inside the Tahrir square, they are fewer in numbers (after 9 days many are probably exhausted, if not frightened). I am also getting the feeling that the pro-Mubarak forces are in control of the areas around
While Commentary, JINSA and AIPAC are in a panic mode because they believe that the MB will soon become Egypt’s main political force, Rabbi Michael Learner, editor of Tikkun, rejoices over the liberation of the Egyptian people from the dictatorship of Mubarak. He writes: To watch hundreds of thousands of Egyptians able to throw off the chains of oppression and the legacy of a totalitarian regime that consistently jailed, tortured
Mubarak just addressed the Egyptian nation. He promised not to run in the next election, but he wants to rule through the transition period. Bottom line – the USraelian Empire is resolutely refusing to let go of Egypt. Mubarak also said “I will die on the soil of Egypt”; translation: I am not following Ben Ali to Saudi Arabia. Mubarak appeared to be as out of touch with reality as
Check out this headline from Israel National News: Muslim Brotherhood’s Message Same as Hamas: Kill Jews Nothing new here. Expect endless references to a “2nd Holocaust” and the “New Egyptian Antisemitism” as an “existential threat” to the “only democracy in the Middle-East” to come next. We might even get a “New Hitler” if Mubarak is toppled. Where are Alan Dershowitz, Elie Wiesel and Joe Lieberman when they are so needed!!!
Ynet News reports: After weeks of opposition protests inspired by regime ouster in Tunisia and turmoil in Egypt, Abdullah names his former ex-military advisor Marouf Bakhit as new prime minister with orders to carry out ‘true political reforms’
