More on The Egyptian Military's Crack-Down in Egypt....

Hi, I'm Your New Axis of Evil
Must Read - A quote...."I have argued that what has just happened in Egypt is a bloodbath that is not a bloodbath, conducted by a military junta responsible for a coup that is not a coup, under the guise of an Egyptian "war on terror". Yet this newspeak gambit - which easily could have been written at the White House [and probably was] - is just part of the picture. -- Amid a thick fog of spin and competing agendas, a startling fact stands out. A poll only 10 days ago by the Egyptian Center for Media Studies and Public Opinion had already shown that 69% were against the July 3 military coup orchestrated by the Pinochet-esque Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. -- So the bloodbath that is not a bloodbath cannot possibly be considered legitimate - unless for a privileged coterie of Mubarakists (the so-called fulool), a bunch of corrupt oligarchs and the military-controlled Egyptian "deep state". -- The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) government led by Mohamed Morsi may have been utterly incompetent - trying to rewrite the Egyptian constitution; inciting hardcore fundamentalists; and bowing in debasement in front of the International Monetary Fund. But it should not be forgotten this was coupled with permanent, all-out sabotage by the "deep state"." - also posted at WarInIraq

Egypt's Junta Has Nothing to Lose
- posted at ICH
Must Read -- A quote...."August 16, 2013 "Information Clearing House - The appointment of Robert Ford as the new American ambassador to Egypt was indeed an ominous sign that the Obama administration expected civil war conditions to arise in Egypt. Ford’s forte during his hugely successful “diplomatic’ assignment in Baghdad in the middle of the last decade was to organize the notorious death squads, which tore Mesopotamia apart and destroyed Iraq almost irreparably. -- Equally, Ford played a seminal role in his subsequent ambassadorial assignment in Damascus in 2011 in successfully triggering the Syrian civil war. Ford is the living embodiment of the stunning reality that between the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, there has been no real shift in the United States’ policies in the Middle East aimed at perpetuating its regional hegemony. -- Make no mistake about it that the US game plan is to destabilize and destroy Egypt just the same way Iraq and Syria have been destroyed so that Israel’s absolute security is assured in the region for the conceivable future."

Egypt’s Army Crosses the Rubicon - posted at ICH
Must Read - Quote of the Day
...."By Patrick J. Buchanan -- August 16, 2013 "Information Clearing House - “Sire, clear the square with gunfire or abdicate.” - That was the message one of his generals gave the young czar Nicholas I in December of 1825, as thousands of civilians and soldiers massed in Senate Square to challenge his claim to the throne. - Nicholas gave the order, the cannons fired, and he and his heirs ruled Russia for another century, until Nicholas II was overthrown, and murdered by Bolsheviks. - Such was the moment Egypt’s army faced on Wednesday, with thousands of backers of the Muslim Brotherhood encamped in Cairo, challenging its rule. The slaughter that ensued, 500 dead the first day and thousands wounded, means there is no going back. - The die is cast. The Egyptian army has crossed the Rubicon. - Egypt’s generals cannot now hold elections that a coalition of the Brotherhood and Salafis might win. Were that to happen, many of them could wind up like the shah’s generals, on trays in the morgue. - So where does Egypt, and where do we go from here?" - Source:  PatrickBuchanan

"Bonapartism" -- Egypt's Revolution After the Smoke Clears - posted at ICH
A quote..."The current, bizarre-seeming situation in Egypt is actually common in the history of revolutions, having started in the modern era with Napoleon Bonaparte, who, during the French Revolution, consolidated his power by aligning with certain social classes against rival sections, and switching allegiances when necessary to offset the power of his former allies, until all political rivals were weakened, allowing him and his army to act as arbitrator and ruler. -- This now common feature of revolutions is often referred to as "Bonapartism" in honor of its founder and is a reflection of society in revolutionary upheaval, where different social classes are powerfully asserting themselves, though unable to out-power their adversaries, allowing the military to act as the Bonapartist "arbitrator.” "

Lifting The Mist on the Egyptian Crisis
(Pro-Military Coup / Anti-Morsi & Anti-MB) -- A quote...."There is mass confusion across the political spectrum in the West, from the left, through the bleeding-heart liberals to dyed-in-the-wool conservatives and other right wingers, regarding where to stand on the crisis in Egypt." - Related articles, and commentary, regarding those issues raised by the author....
Is this a sign of a "re--redirection", are the Saudi Parasites and their Gulf Parasitic allies about to betray the Wahhabists they, and the US-NRE, have so ardently and eagerly cultivated for almost thirty years? Or was Morsi insufficiently on board with the PNAC Protocols, even after he decided to support Syria's terrorists and partially crack down on Hamas? Is this a change of tactics to actually support "nation-states" across the Middle East or is this just an Egypt specific instance because Israel was worried about Morsi's loyalty?  It's something to think about. Whatever the case, this was a military coup against a democratically elected government that has now resulted in mass civilian casualties of un-armed demonstrators!  Speculating on "pre-crime" or what might-happen's in the future is insufficient to justify this level of violence. - mpg 
Unpacking Anti-Muslim Brotherhood Discourse
(Pro-Morsi & Pro-MB / Anti-Military Coup) -- A quote...."In post-revolution Egypt–which is, perhaps, not actually as “post” revolution as many think–Hosni Mubarak-era media owners, Mubarak regime loyalists, and key members of Egypt’s liberal and secular opposition have teamed up to create arguably one of the most effective propaganda campaigns in recent political history. In a matter of months, these forces have managed to demonize Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, to the extent that many Egyptians openly call for the overthrow of the democratically elected government and the imprisonment of Brotherhood members." --  Here's what this website editor said when this crisis first started back on July 5th 2013 - mpg
Website Editor's Caution:  Visibility is very difficult at this point, betrayal is endless, and there are wheels, within wheels, within wheels with these sorts of geo-political games, especially in a place like the Middle East, and most especially where the US-NRE and Israel are involved. -- It should be noted that Washington, along with the Gulf Parasitic Families (the so-called "Monarchies")  fully supports Israel's PNAC Protocols along with not only the Muslim Brotherhood, but al-CIA'da in Libya, Syria and throughout North Africa while it is also currently supporting destabilizing campaigns in Iraq, Iran and even Pakistan using al-CIA'da shock troops.  -- On the other hand Egypt's military gets almost ALL of its training and funding from the US-NRE.  It's something to think about. -- mpg - posted 07-05-13
Arabs, Beware the "Small States" Option - posted at ICH
Special Note - Second Quote of the Day - (previously posted) -- " August 16, 2013 "Information Clearing House - "Al-Akhbar" - July 31, 2013 - At the heart of all politics lies cold, hard opportunism. New circumstances, changed alliances and unexpected events will always conspire to alter one’s calculations to benefit a core agenda. - In the Middle East today, those calculations are being adjusted with a frequency unseen for decades. - In Egypt and Syria, for instance, popular sentiment is genuinely divided on where alliances and interests lie. Half of Egyptians seem convinced that deposed President Mohammed Mursi is the resident US-Israeli stooge, while the other half believe it is Egypt's military that is carrying out those foreign agendas. - In Syria the same can be said for Syrians conflicted on whether President Bashar al-Assad or the external-based Syrian National Council (SNC) most benefits Israeli and American hegemonic interests in the region. - But Egyptians and Syrians, who point alternating fingers at Islamists or the state as being tools of imperialism, have this wrong: Empire is opportunistic. It has ways to benefit from both. - There is another vastly more destructive scenario being missed while Arabs busy themselves with conspiracies and speculative minutiae: A third option far more damaging to all." - For more on THAT issue see essays and maps previously posted shown below....
Egypt Turmoil: Muslim Brotherhood Violence or Government Crackdown?
Special Note - A quote...."As violent clashes continue across Egypt, more and more evidence arises demonstrating that, much like the early Libyan and Syrian situations, Egypt is facing a foreign-backed destabilization campaign aimed at disrupting the fragile rule of a government fresh on the heels of a counter-coup and attempting to transition from military rule to civilian government. -- Indeed, it appears the Egyptian military’s refusal to capitulate to the IMF, slash the living standards of the Egyptian people, and engage in foreign military adventures is not a welcome development amongst the company of the Anglo-Americans."
Everything stated in this article may very well be true.  This website editor has insufficient information to properly analyze and calculate how much....yet. --  However it is NEVER PERMISSIBLE to gun down peaceful protestors, period!!   It is unethical, immoral, illegal, criminal, depraved, and UNNECESSARILY brutal....not to mention completely and totally stupid!  If Egypt's military was trying to create more violence, thousands of martyrs, and endless cycles of civil war, this was the way to go.  If they were listening to their Amerikan sponsors they were incredibly stupid and probably betrayed!  As of now, all they've done so far -- intended or not -- is to comply with the Trinity of Evil's Middle East nation-state destruction imperatives as spelled out in Israel's PNAC Protocols. - mpg
Horror in Egypt: Saying it once, saying it again
A quote...."The central question was and remains that of freedom and democracy for the Egyptian people. What is happening today in Egypt is a travesty and a horror. The country is now at the merci of the Armed Forces; Egypt will now experience summary execution, arbitrary imprisonment, torture and lying at the highest state level. The generals are fully supported by the West, the United States and Israel. This is the only reality. Those who, in their visceral hatred of the Islamists, today support the military and the police as they kill and repress must one day answer for their choice. They must also reveal to us their analysis, their “democratic” political program drawn up in the shadow of the barracks, at the heart of corruption, at the storm center of a Middle East that is now adrift. Their responsibility is immense, over and above the bitter taste of the words they use to encourage and to justify the violent repression of unarmed civilians. Wretched “liberals”, pathetic “progressives.”

Obama's Egypt Address: A License to Kill - posted at ICH
A quote...."August 17, 2013 "Information Clearing House - "The National Interest" - August 15, 2013  President Obama's pallid audio address this morning from Martha's Vineyard made it sound as though he regarded the events in Egypt as a rude imposition on his vacation. Instead of enunciating a firm and clear policy, he moved from banality to platitude before veering off-course with a disquisition about the struggles America had before it came a full democracy." - Source:  TheNationalInterest -- For a sitting president to say something like that about a murderous military coup of a democratically elected government, strikes this website editor as being....incautious to say the least, or even dangerous....for somebody like Obama. - mpg

The Muslim Holy War Against The 'Great Satan'
Must Read - A quote...."The Islamists are growing steadily in the vast Muslim population. All  the big Muslim nations of the Middle East–Turkey, Iran, Egypt–have gone Islamist in democratic elections and are totally anti-American in fact [often hidden behind a shield of polite and reasonable diplomacy]. The U.S. and its puppets are desperate and are striking out wildly in slaughters and massacres of the Islamists that enrage the Muslims everywhere. The Shia government of Iraq allied with Iran is being attacked by U.S.-Saudi financed bombers–”Terrorists” in U.S. agitprop. This Shia government may give way to a more openly Islamist government headed by a Holy Warrior like al-Sadr allied with Hizbollah of Lebanon and Syria. - The oil sheik tyrants in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and a few other tiny states in which the governments are hated by most of the people are the only U.S. puppets left in place and they are under growing attacks and are desperately supporting these counter-revolutions with money and arms and secret U.S. blessings."

Washington Seeks To Ensnare Kurds - posted at ICH
Must Read - A quote...."August 16, 2013 "Information Clearing House -   The targeting of Kurdish civilians in Syria by US-supported armed thugs is part of a deliberate attempt to galvanize the Kurds and pit them in a resurgent struggle against the non-Kurd regions. -- The Kurdish Democratic Union Party and other sources are now reporting that Kurdish men, women, and children are systematically being tortured, raped, and executed. Fighting has broken out between Syrian Kurds and the insurgent forces supported by the US, UK, France, Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the Iranian Parliament have condemned the targeting of Syrian Kurds while the Obama Administration and its cohorts have remained mostly silent. Lavrov’s insistence that the United Nations Security Council condemns the violence has also been to no avail. -- One of the reasons that the Obama Administration has been silent is because they are supporting the butchers behind the massacre and are trying to avoid more embarrassment. The US and its allies, however, will make supportive noise for the Kurds once they get the result they are seeking."

The Toughest job in Washington: Explaining U.S. policy toward Israel
Contains Video - Alt - A quote...."I had to feel sorry for State Department spokesperson Marie Harf trying to explain U.S. reaction toward Israel’s in-your-face announcement of thousands of new housing units on the West Bank on the eve of the Israeli-Palestinian talks. The U.S. expressed its “serious concerns” and labeled the settlements “illegitimate” — at the same time claiming that Israel was negotiating in good faith. - In the first 20 minutes of this video Herf does her best to dodge the difficult questions and promises to get more information on issues like whether the U.S. considers settlements since 1967 illegitimate or just the recent ones. - The good news is that the atmosphere of the briefing was definitely hostile to Israel and to U.S. complicity in the ongoing dispossession of the Palestinians. Matthew Lee of the Associated Press was particularly incisive in his questioning. Another reporter, Rosalind Jordan of Al Jazeera mentioned proposed train lines between Israeli settlements that would be closed to the Palestinians. [i.e. "Jew" only]" - Source:  OccidentalObserver

Did The NSA Think The Public Can’t Do Math? Attempt To Downplay Data Collection Fails Miserably

But, as for what any of this meant, it hasn’t been at all clear. Since the NSA has already redefined basic English words like “collect,” “target,” “datamine,” and “relevant” it’s not at all clear what is meant by “touch.” However, some are starting to dig into the numbers, and contrary to the NSA’s attempt to suggest that this is “nothing to fear,” a bit of analysis certainly suggests they’re collecting quite a bit of info." - Source:  TechDirt

An Absolutely Stunning, Must See List: 252 Well-Sourced Obama “Issues”
Must Read - Weblist - Database -- A quote...."Every President, every politician, and every human being tells lies and engages in acts of hypocrisy. But Barack Obama does these things to a far greater degree than anyone else that I have ever known of. His campaign promises were so much better sounding than anyone else’s – no lobbyists in his administration, waiting five days before signing all non-emergency bills so people would have time to read them, putting health care negotiations on C-SPAN, reading every bill line by line to make sure money isn’t being wasted, prosecution of Wall St. criminals, ending raids against medical marijuana in states where it’s legal, high levels of transparency. Obama’s promises of these wonderful things sounded inspiring and sincere. They sounded so much better than the promises of any other President. So when Obama broke these promises, it felt so much worse than when other Presidents broke their promises." - also posted at PakAlertPress & SqrllHill & InvestWatch

No Mas! - Barack Obama and the Neo-Liberal Coup
Must Read - A quote...."Defenders of the policies of President Barack Obama have correctly pointed to the difficult circumstances he and ‘the nation’ faced when he entered office and the dim intransigence of Congressional Republicans while they fail to address that his actual policies have derived almost exclusively from the political-economic theories of neo-liberalism—the economics of the radical right. And as Mr. Obama moves his policy proposals for his second term forward what is once again apparent is that both the policies and his articulation of them are from the radical right. His proposals to shutter Federal housing agency stalwarts Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, his use of dubious legal opinions to consolidate the power of ‘the Executive’ and to justify the murder of citizens and non-citizens without due process, his support for trade agreements that effectively hand domestic governance over to multi-national corporations, his growth of an intrusive surveillance state and pompous dismissal of criticism of it and his stuffing his cabinet and likely the Federal Reserve Chairmanship with neo-liberal ideologues all confirm that the policies of his first term were not a product of circumstance, but rather the coherent implementation of a radical-right agenda"

Julian Assange, Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden: it doesn't matter what kind of people they are, if you think they are 'heroes' or 'bad people,' if you'd 'like to have a beer with them' or would run a mile if you saw them coming.

Trader #3 brings a printing press to the fair and prints off "money" which is a claim on resources. The paper is intrinsically worthless, but if sellers at the fair accept its claimed value, then they exchange real resources for this claim of value. -- Needless to say, those with access to leveraged credit and the issuance of fiat money have the power to make claims on resources without actually having produced anything of value or earned tangible forms of wealth. -- Those with political power and wealth naturally have monopolies on the issuance of credit and paper money, as these enable the acquisition of real wealth without actually having to produce or earn the wealth." - also posted at ZeroHedge - Topix ||  Some Definitions  ||

How The Corrupt Establishment Is Selling Moral Bankruptcy To America
Must Read -- Quote of the Day...."Morality is a highly misunderstood component of human nature. Some people believe they can create moral guidelines from thin air based on their personal biases and prejudices. Some people believe that morality comes from the force of bureaucracy and government law. Still, others believe that there is no such thing; that morality is a facade created by men in order to better grease the wheels of society. -- All of these world views discount the powerful scientific and psychological evidence surrounding Natural Law — the laws that human beings form internally due to inherent conscience regardless of environmental circumstances. When a person finally grasps inborn morality, the whole of the world comes into focus. The reality is that we are not born “good” or “evil.” Rather, we are all born with the capacity for good AND evil, and this internal battle stays with us until the end of our days. -- Every waking moment we are given a choice, a test of our free will, to be ruled by desire and fear, or to do what we know at our very core is right. When a man silences his inner voice, the results can be terrible for him and those around him. When an entire culture silences its inner voice, the results can be catastrophic...." - bold by website editor - also posted at ZeroHedge

Lemmings… At the Precipice of WWIII
Must Read - A quote...."To better understand what happened in Libya, you must first understand the context in which it took place. Ambassador Stevens was probably at least as valuable as a U.S. intelligence asset/operative as he was a diplomat. He operated the Iran desk early in his career and eventually became one of our top “go to” experts on all things Iran. Mr. Stevens served in countries throughout the mid-east before eventually settling in Syria for several years. He was well known and respected in the region. He also lived in Washington D.C. for several years while serving as the Director of Multilateral Nuclear and Security Affairs. His little black book with the contact numbers for the good and bad actors and their agents had become pretty extensive; but… here’s where the plot thickens. It appears that Mr. Stevens might not have initially entered Libya to stop the flow of weapons, but to help funnel them under the direction of higher ups in the Obama regime. He was tasked with coordinating, overseeing and facilitating the movement of the rebel fighters from across North Africa through eastern Libya."

The act set up a Federal Reserve Board in Washington and twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks around the country, and its passage accorded to private bankers enormous control over the nation’s money supply.
