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...

By encouraging and supporting (perhaps even participating in) the overthrow of a democratically elected President and replacing him with a military dictatorship led by a despotic little General, the Americans have ensured that Isis (another failed experiment where an American organised and financed organisation has morphed into a dangerous and brutal "terrorist" group) has spread its influence to yet another country. The evidence after years o...

A corrupt and rotten administratio...

  http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/14/egypt-vote-constitution-deadly-violence   Egypt government holds vote on new constitution amid deadly violence   The next President of Egypt ?Abdel Fatah al-Sisi   It was always the "Wests" preferred option that Mubarak should remain in power with the backing of SCAF and Tantawi. It was only when Washington and London realised that the vast majority of Egyptian people were opposed to Mubarak remaining as President, and continued demonstrations could lead to a completely destabilised Egypt, with a distinct possibility for civil war, that the West changed horses, dumped Mubarak and SCAF and looked for another partner for their agenda in Egypt. An acceptable candidate was found in the form of Abdel Fatah al-Sisi and "front man", Interim President Adly Mansour. The fly in the ointment was the subsequent elections where Mohammed Morsi was elected as President. We now have the grotesque situation, where al-...

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/25/egypt-declares-muslim-brotherhood-terrorist-group Egypt's military-backed interim government has declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, criminalising all its activities, its financing and even membership to the group from which the country's ousted president hails. President Mohammed Morsi   Whether you support the Muslim Brotherhood or not, the Egyptian people as a nation have finally lost. Egypt has returned to the "bad old days" prior to the "Egyptian Spring" of 2011 and the removal of the SCAF puppet Mubarak and Field Marshall Tantawi, and descended to a new dark age of military oppression perhaps even more sinister than that which existed until 2 years ago. . The new military junta, headed by Abdel Fatah al-Sisi hiding behind the facade of respectability after the July coup with the title of "Interim government" issues a statement that ""The cabinet has decla...

The simple truth is that on July 3rd 2013, Mohamed Morsi, the elected President of Egypt, was overthrown by a military coup led by Abdel Fatah al-Sisi and replaced with the puppet Adly Mansour. What is, in all but name, a military dictatorship had replaced a democratic President and returned Egypt to the days of SCAF running the country with Mubarak, Sadat and Nasser (who at least had the "honesty" not to appoint a front man as puppet President) as the public face. Nasser, Sadat and Mubarak     McCain's choice or words may have legal ramifications f...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jul/18/egyptian-security-attack-on-morsi-supporters   Killing in Cairo: the full story of the Republican Guards' club shootings   On the 8th July, 54 people were killed by the security forces, who stated at the time that these protesters had attempted to storm the Republican Guard compound in Cairo. The western media with a few exceptions,  reported the events as part of their general support for the coup of July 3rd which overthrew President Mohammed Morsi. It now emerges that the truth of the events which  took place outside the compound, differs significantly from the "official" version.  "the security forces launched a co-ordinated assault on a group of largely peaceful and unarmed civilians."   Egyptian supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood run for cover near the elite Republican Guards club.

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 el...
