an AJ reporter just said on the air that Egyptian security forces are lining up buses on the streets around Tahrir Square in Cairo.
She speculated the buses would be used to attempt to block the streets around the square, to keep demonstrators out.
Or are they going to attempt mass arrests when people return after daybreak?
THE END IS HERE MOTHERFUCKERS!
ERUPT IN THE STREETS, HERE IN THE US!

Well it looks like the police are coming back. It will be bloodbath before this is over. If the revolution is succesful then the dominoes will fall. The House of Saud are probably having nervous flatulence.

Free! Egypt!! NOW!!!

I don't know if any of this has already been posted, so I'll just post a few items here.
First of all, and IMHO, who is needed here, who would be acceptable to the majoriy in Egypt is Mohamed ElBaradei. The reason why is simply because, aside from any other qualifications he may have, he has already demonstrated the One most important. He is Not and will Not be a Puppet..and Egypt as well as the rest of the world, is fed up with US Puppets running their countries. I'll paste a bit about him below but must add one more thing..this has to do with Time, as to "why now"?
I believe this is connected to the fact that the Chinese New Year is this Feb 3, Wednesday. From Feb 2 through the 8th is a holiday week in China and much of Asia. This would be the time that China could make a major move with their currency. I believe the most logical response to the West keeping the IMF and SDR's basically the same formula as they were [this was subject to change at the end of 2010 but it was stubbornly kept as-is. Anyhow, I believe that China can ReValue the Yuan, and the reply to the West would be that ALL the EastBloc nations can ReValue vs the USD simultaiously. Easier fror me to just paste something I wrote about 2 weeks ago:
Jan 18
The Emerging Markets should, and very well may be preparing to, make a move that would Benefit both them as Countries and Their People. What they would need to do is move in Unison, a simultaneous and equal adjustment of their currency vs the USD.
As an example consider the BRIC & BRICets, all of Asia, perhaps via the ASEAN 3+10 group, South/Latin America, though I wouldn't count on Colombia, other counties in the EM Sector, i.e. Turkey, Egypt, S Africa, and whoever else wants to join in.
[these countries "sitting on the fence" will need to decide soon, so expect pressure. In many cases what The People want, and what's best for them, especially the Increase in Purchasing Power sorely needed now, is not what their leaders would be inclined to do, in Puppet regimes don't have a shot]
I'll throw out a figure and use 20% though it could be 50% or more, since basically for them there would be no change---[recall when China pointed out that 99% of their Trade Imbalance was from just the US]. Now imagine this simultaneous and equal adjustment vs the USD being made in the currency by all these countries and the Benefits it carries. For the People it gives them a big leap in Purchasing Power, and counters the Inflation seen in Food and any other commodity. Consider Gold & Silver, which is purchased in their counties with their currency. Consider Iron and Nickel for S Steel, Copper, Zinc, etc., and don't forget Oil and NatGas, Cotton, Rubber, Cement, etc...all the "stuff" they need to continue to Build-Up...OK, I think that's enough to get my point across. Below a brief on ElBaradei
al-Jazeera's broadcasts via an Egyptian satellite have been halted
Many protesters once again climbed onto tanks and armored vehicles around the square, with many soldiers apparently on friendly terms with the anti-Mubarak demonstrators.
======================================
As you drive westwards from the Nile towards the pyramids of Giza, redbrick slums give way to high-fenced enclaves with security patrols; above them vast billboards depict the latest accessories for the Egyptian upper-class, from signature golf courses to baroque villas.
Behind these walls lives Mohamed ElBaradei, the unlikely figurehead for a movement seeking to get rid of one of the Middle East's most entrenched autocratic regimes. "In Egypt the rich live in ghettoes," he said, waving his hand at the beautifully manicured garden, complete with pool. "The gap in social justice here is simply indescribable."
The gulf between Egypt's rich and poor is one of many social ills that persuaded ElBaradei to swap a comfortable retirement in western Europe for the mud-slinging world of Egyptian politics.
Reserved, diplomatic and restrained in his rhetoric, the bespectacled former head of the UN's nuclear weapons agency often appears awkwardly out of place in an arena dominated by bullish characters and highly personal attacks.
In recent weeks the state-controlled press has called the Nobel peace laureate a traitor, and described his campaign for political reform as "tantamount to a constitutional coup".
Meanwhile his supporters have been arrested and allegedly tortured by security services."I was hoping for a slightly more quiet life," he admitted to the Guardian in his first international interview since returning to his native country in February. "But this is a place where I have friends, where I have family, where I have ties, and when I hear people telling me, 'you have to come and help fight for change' of course I have to weigh in and see what I can do.
"How successful I will be I don't know, but at least in the past couple of months alone I've managed to make people less afraid,
I've managed to make people understand that the political system is the key to overcoming stagnation, and I've managed to make people understand that there are alternatives to Bin Laden on one side or autocracy on the other."
Sceptics would raise an eyebrow at that list of successes, especially as ElBaradei is coy about his exact intentions regarding next year's presidential election. So far he has insisted that he will not run unless a " constitutional revolution" takes place to establish a genuine system of democracy rather than the current "sham" system, but that has not stopped him intensifying his public appearances.
Last week ElBaradei's arrival at Friday prayers in Cairo's Hussein mosque sparked a media scrum. It also provided a rebuttal of sorts to critics who claim that he is too far detached from the hardships of the ordinary Egyptians he claims to be fighting for.
========================================
Statements to the mediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_ElBaradei
Mohamed Mustafa ElBaradei (Arabic: ???? ????? ????????, transliteration: Mu?ammad Mu??afa al-Bar?da??, Egyptian Arabic: [mæ??æm?æd mos?t??f? (?e)lbæ??æd?i]; born June 17, 1942) was the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), an inter-governmental organization under the auspices of the United Nations from December 1997 to November 2009. ElBaradei and the IAEA were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.
In an interview with CNN in May 2007, Dr ElBaradei gave one of his sternest warnings against using military action against Iran, a state signatory to the Nuclear Non - Proliferation Treaty. Referring to "the extreme people who have extreme views" he said, "you do not want to give additional argument to some of the 'new crazies' who want to say let us go and bomb Iran.
New York Times columnist Roger Cohen interviewed ElBaradei in April 2009. ElBaradei is quoted as saying, “Israel would be utterly crazy to attack Iran." He considers an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would "turn the region into a ball of fire and put Iran on a crash course for nuclear weapons with the support of the whole Muslim world. ElBaradei believes the nuclear non-proliferation regime has "lost its legitimacy in the eyes of Arab public opinion because of the perceived double-standard" in relation to Israel's nuclear weapons program.
[[[ he speaks the Truth---that is the Public Opinion, the view, of the mid-East Muslim World, and also that of many others, including in the West. He has the guts to say what many know to be true, but would never consider saying, especially re: Israel. He also has the ability to say such things w/o being labeled a "Fanatic" ]]]
another Example few, if any, would dare state:
On October 4, 2009, the Xinhua News Agency reported that "At a joint press conference with Iran's Atomic Energy Organization chief Ali Akbar Salehi in Tehran, ElBaradei brought Israel under spotlight and said that the Tel Aviv regime has refused to allow inspections into its nuclear installations for 30 years, the report said.
In an interview published on July 12, 2010 in the German magazine Der Spiegel, ElBaradei said "I do not believe that the Iranians are actually producing nuclear weapons. [...] in general, the danger of a nuclear-armed Iran is overestimated, some even play it up intentionally
