Agenda 2019

http://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jun/18/al-jazeera-employees-among-six-people-sentenced-to-death-in-egypt Al-Jazeera employees among six sentenced to death in Egypt   The obscenity of Egyptian "show trials" since Al-Sisi, with outside help and encouragement, staged the coup of   3rd July 2013 and overthrew a democratically elected President. For as long as western governments and Israel continue to support and bolster this tinpot dictator, loathed by the majority of Egyptians, so will he continue his program of imprisonments, show trials, persecution and executions of any people or groups opposed to his despotic regime.  He has been give "carte blanche" by the west to crush any opposition, real or imagined, to permanently extinguish all traces of the "Egyptian Spring", to re install a military dictatorship in the country. In December of 2013, I wrote in New Agenda under the heading of "T he Egyptian people are th...

A corrupt and rotten administratio...

The list of blockaded goods is extensive and includes, construction materials, tin cans of any description (in case they are melted down and used in weapon construction), many food items as they are considered by the Israeli's and Egyptian governments to be “luxury items”, cement, glass, steel, bitumen, wood, paint, doors, plastic pipes, metal pipes, metal reinforcement rods, aggregate, generators, high voltage cables and any other items which may be considered as having a “milit...

This verdict and the resulting sentences has nothing to do, as has been suggested elsewhere, with some dispute between Saudi Arabia and Qatar, except perhaps in the sense that Egypt lost funding from Qatar which, in any case, was replaced by Saudi Arabia, following the coup of July last year. This latest episode of the Egyptian show trial pantomime, continues the sequence of judicial power being used to suppress freedoms and to quash opposition. This time, the message has been circulated to all journalists that you may report what you will, but you will only report what we allow.   Journalists jailed fo...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/egypt-elections-the-coronation-of-the-emperor-9442400.html     Egypt elections extended amid weak turnout  Egypt extended its presidential election an extra day as the government, military and supporters of front-runner Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi are scrambled to increase turnout after two days of reportedly thin voting     Egyptians have been given an extra day to cast their ballots in the country's presidential election, after two days of low voter numbers at polling booths.   Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is so popular with the Egyptian people, that the polls have been extended to try and get more people to vote. Polling stations empty, few voters but still only one pre determined winner. No doubt the final figures will show that "99% of voters" cast their ballots and of these the "vast majority" chose al-Sisi. A sham election, with a sham outcome. The coup of last year (no matter what...

Abdel Fatah al-Sisi   As Al Jazeera journalist continue to be detained in the junta's prisons, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the conspirator, coup leader, dictator and soon to be President of Egypt appears on Egyptian television barely concealing his arrogance and warped interpretation of fact. The people of Egypt overthrew Mubarak and elected Morsi to be President in free and fair democratic elections. 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. President Mohammed Morsi   The coup of July last year, seemingly supported by elements of Egyp...

  http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/24/egypt-morsi-supporters-death-sentence   Egyptian court issues death sentences to 529 supporters of President Mohammed Morsi   Morsi supporters face anti-riot police officers in Cairo 529 death sentences, with  more to follow and culminating no doubt, with a death sentence for President Mohamed Morsi after his sham show trial. A despotic military dictatorship under the junta headed by Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, handing out "justice" to any and all opposition, following their coup of July 2013. A coup incidentally supported and encouraged by the United States, the "champion of freedom and democracy"  (albeit even to this day, the Americans refuse to acknowledge or accept that the events of last year were a coup), supported by the British government who invariably follow the American lead and enthusiastically endorsed by "Peace envoy"  Tony Blair with his comments of July 2013 immediately after the mili...
