The junta is responsible.

From state-controlled newspapers and private pro-government TV channels the message is that Egypt is facing a foreign "conspiracy" to undermine its stability.


 





It is ironic, and predictable, that a junta controlled press and media will attempt to divert attention from reality.The bloodstained coup leaders in Egypt, together with their puppet politicians, would like the world to believe that they are the victims of some conspiracy in the west to "undermine the stability of Egypt".
The indisputable fact, is that on July 3rd a military coup, led by Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, overthrew the democratically elected President Morsi, replaced him with the Mubarak clone Adly Mansour, and embarked upon a killing spree on the streets of Cairo and a dozen other cities across Egypt in a thinly veiled attempt to eradicate any and all opposition to their "new order". Distortion of truth, lies and hypocrisy are the hallmarks of governments everywhere, but in the case of a military dictatorship and its iron fisted control of all media, such distortions quickly achieve the status of "truth".
No matter how much effort the junta with its police and military may employ to convince people that they are the "good guys" and no matter how much they may use their overwhelming fire power in their attempts to enforce restrictions on the protestors, the reality is plain to see. The streets are bloodstained, the mosques bear the scars and damage of battle, the makeshift and regular morgues are filled with bodies and the debris of destruction are everywhere. Already, many of those who enthusiastically supported the removal of President Morsi, are starting to see that the alternative is dictatorship and military rule, which thousands of them protested against in Tahrir Square two years ago and are now coming together under the "anti coup" banner.They are not Muslim Brotherhood members and many of them are not even supporters of the Brothers but they share a common ideal. They are opposed to military dictatorship and demand a return to democracy.






The stability of Egypt is not being undermined from outside. The illegal coup of July 3rd and the barbaric killings of unarmed protesters by the police and military since then, are undermining Egypt and its future minute by minute. The protestors will not remain unarmed indefinitely. Egypt is a nation divided and may soon descend into a civil conflict to match or even exceed the carnage in its neighbour Syria. The responsibility for that scenario, together with responsibility for the present civilian dead and injured, lies squarely at the feet of Abdel Fatah al-Sisi and his murderous junta.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
