A coup by any other name.

 Adly Mansour Sworn In As Muslim Brotherhood Members Arrested

 


Egypt’s chief justice Adly Mansour the country’s interim president

 
A democratically elected President removed from office by the army, and placed under arrest. The constitution suspended. The head of Egypt's supreme constitutional court Adly Mansour, (a Mubarak man) appointed by the army until new presidential election are held (sometime in the future).
By any definition, what took place in Egypt on the 3rd July 2013 was a coup.

President Mohammed Morsi



 
The morning after the Egyptian coup. the world echo's to the sound of rhetorical hypocrisy bellowing out from Obama, Hague and other "leaders" of the west. Under any other circumstances, these political opportunists would be hysterically condemning a military take over in a country with a democratically elected government and President in office. That is of course where such a government and President was acceptable to the west.

 


William Hague 











This coup has been in preparation since Morsi won the election last year. Practically all of Mubarak's gang are still in place or waiting for the call, the Egyptian army is still receiving $ billions from the west and it is only a matter of time before the Mubarak status qou is reinstated. Pro America, pro the west and anti Palestinian. Those "demonstrators" in Tahrir Square will soon find their enthusiasm for the army intervention ebbs away as they realise the real reasons and motives for the coup of July 3rd.



Footnote: For reasons known only to themselves, the sensors, sorry, the "moderators", of the Huffington Post have determined that this item is not suitable for publication in the comments section of the main article. It seems that there is little consistency within  their "moderation" policy, as there are numerous other postings which may be considered as rather more contentious than this one. I have submitted a question to the HP asking what their reasons are for rejection. It remains to be seen what their response will be, provided of course that they actually reply.

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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
