Egypt Riots Update: First Casualties Reported As Police Use Live Ammo Against Protesters

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update: Alshaheed reports that Egyptian police in Suez has opened fire live ammunition killing Mustafa Reda Mahmoud Abdelfattah, 20 years old

The last time a scene like this happened in Greece, Waddell and Reed sold some futures. This time around, nobody even cares. In the meantime, riot police has now escalated to firing tear gas at protesters, as the riots have metastasized to Alexandria, the Nile Delta, and the cities of Mansura, Tanta, Aswan and Assiut (not without Hillary Clinton voicing her opinion, who has called the Egyptian government stable). But the most notable update is that according to reports, Jamal Mubarak has left Cairo to London while Husni Mubarak is fending off tiger sharks at the Sharm el Shekh. Unclear how much Egyptian gold either may have absconded with.

I suppose these fire suicides are altruistic? Damn, it's getting hot outside.

Police in Alexandria Egypt open fire on protesters. Live ammunition. Our correspondant has been hit with a bullet in his head.

Twitter is quite unreliable.

As for the US military or UN getting in on this, forget it. Won't happen. The police state and Muslim Brotherhood will have to fight it out. Expect blood.

Check out all these articles - I found them on the internet. Pretty bad - oh wait! Its all from 2008!!!! Dam! these are all shortly before food and fuel prices crashed under the deflationary weight of declining monetary velocity and lack of demand.

The same thing is going to happen this time - 2011.

There is a time and a place for inflation IT IS NOT NOW!

When banking is under 10% of GDP. When the bad loans have been recognized. When the Fed is no longer paying PDs to sit on money.

Unless a global rate raising version of Paul Volker comes along it's 1930s style deflation.

lack of demand for FOOD?

I mean, you're contradicting yourself here man.

Food shortages and riots aren't suggestive of monetary deflation

No, this dude is on the money. He didn't even mention the, what is it 16, 18 pe cent unemployment here.

What most people fail to realize is that all the money (credit) creation by the Fed has wound up in the hands of the top 1% AGAIN! So, no gain in productive enterprises. No wage inflation. You want inflation. Show me wage inflation and we've got a deal. Prices cannot rise without wages and employment. Does not work, I don't care how much magic pixie dust the chairman has. The recent commodities rally was just more Ponzi, as is the price of oil. The stuff is freaking everywhere.

Just stop for a day and see what happens. Oh, shit! There's more. Riots and protests don't use much energy, except for the human kind.

Deflate, and escape, to Jamaica!

Interesting observation.

If Nazi tactics are so despicable how come the world government uses Black Uniforms and Black ops for all their global quasi military/police operations. 

I guess it just depends on who's deploying the Gestapo agents as to wether or not they're Nazis. Even though they're Nazis.

It's okay and it must be accomplished because you are the chosen people.

Soon the Rafha Crossing between Egypt and Gaza, should open and let the people in Gaza get supplies and arms, then wait and see what develops. Long,... long overdue. Even invite them into Egypt so they can express their feelings to Mubarak in person, for betraying them to Israel and setting them up for years of torture in the death camp.

If I were there I might suggest this short advice.

Free GAZA NOW

 

Proud and Noble people of EGYPT free your Palestine brothers from their torturous siege now. There will never be a better time to breach the wall that separates natural brothers and sisters.

 

Brave souls in GAZA attack the wall of separation on your side, and end the torture. Its better to die on your feet and live on your knees.
