A recipe for bloodshed on a massive scale

Egypt's army chief calls for show of support from citizens



Abdel Fatah al-Sisi



"Interim President" Adly Mansour



 
Following the coup of July 3rd, the new military dictator of Egypt, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi (hiding behind the sham facade of the "Interim President" Adly Mansour) calls for millions of citizens to go out on the streets on Friday (26th July), to back the military and police. This is a recipe for bloodshed on a massive scale and for social disaster to follow. The motivation for such an appeal is as clear as it can possibly be. It is the intention of the ruling junta to eradicate any form of opposition, to impose martial law in order to consolidate its position as the only political power in Egypt and to pro American(and thereby pro Israel) position is maintained.
Those "anti Morsi demonstrators" (at least those who are not associated with "the security forces), will find to their cost, that their aspirations to a democratic Egypt have been hijacked by the military who were only ever motivated by the objective of restoring themselves to the position they held during the days of Mubarak, the previous puppet. Mohamed Morsi, the only elected President Egypt has had, may have made many mistakes and may have been a little naive, but the military feared him and feared that their dominant position would be permanently reduced. The coup ha 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.
The stage seems set and it is now probably too late to reverse the spiral towards Friday's showdown. Egypt may well be a very different place next week.

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 baby. How will the royal baby look as he grows up? Now the latest absurdity, this time f

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

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
