Follow Egypt's Big Day As Millions Take To The Streets
Update: Semi-automatic gunfire now heard in Alexandria.
For Egypt, it is now or never. With millions out on the streets in Cairo and other cities, the Egyptian population will likely not have another chance at such a massive showing of popular expression of anger against President Mubarak. For those who wish to follow today's million man march, can do so at the usual places: the Al Jazeera blog, the video feed below, the Guardian blog, real time mappable tweets, and of course, the video feed below.

Time to dust off the old soviet break-up song by Scorpion "Wind of Change")

I wonder if a contemporary pop artist will do a remake with Egyptian footage.
Or better yet, Van Halen's "Right Now":

It's settled. We march on April fools day, April 15.
OK ?
READY ?
HAD ENOUGH BULLSHIT ?
I have, you should see my rock collection.
That explains the DXY being slammed into the dirt by worthless stop hunters.
Tyler et al,
A good source of updates on Egypt and the rest of the Middle East is the Friday Lunch Club. Great little blog.
http://friday-lunch-club.blogspot.com/
LOL
headline reads
"Bolton: Mubarak's downfall would mean we'd have to bomb Iran"
That guy says that about everything. It's like his job or something. Literally.
Don't mess with the Stache. He will fuck you up.
The only thing he fucks up is his hairdo. The guy is the biggest blowhard I've ever seen.
"Bonkers" Bolton doesn't seem to realize that if he gets his wish and Iran is attaacked that israel will have to deal with 50000 rockets fired from Lebanon and maybe even a few dirty radiation bombs exploded right smack in the middle of downtown Tel Aviv.
Not to mention US troops in Iraq having their supply lines cut from Kuwait by iranian irregular units and shiite militias in Iraq. And on top of that Shiite police,and soldiers in Iraq turn their weapons against US troops along with shiite miltias. Our troops would be bogges down and surrounded,not to mention facing 20 shahab missiles a day hitting bases in Iraq. Bolton is insane like most neocons. Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan would face horrendous casulties that would make Battle of Mogadishu look like a watergun fight.
Just like the MB fear mongering trolls/operatives.
Be interesting to see if Mubarak tries to leave with dignity and even stay in-country to show he's just a public servant after all.
Like Nassar: "His funeral procession through Cairo, on 1 October, was attended by at least five million mourners." (wikipedia)
Hey, everyone makes mistakes, right? What's an extra decade or two in office and some oppression if you do the right thing in the end....
yes and both Stalin and Mao loved to be photo'd with kids after every bout of fatherly genocide
He is definitely getting the 15 minutes treatment. (Mubarak) Unfortunately his exit will be in a plastic suit, on a gurney. A little British context.
Well, its interesting, the Ceausescus were hunted down and shot like dogs, and so on, but Mubarak must still choose--today--between spurring thousands of deaths and simply moving on. He could give a rousing speech, thanking the masses for the wake up call, hoping for continuance of peace with neighboring states and so on...I mean, history happens in real time. Anything is possible.
Lots of SRI trolls on here today. Some schmuck on this site is posting on GodLikeProductions and then bringing that social engineered drivel here. Last thing we need is Jason Lucas and his robots posting their crap on ZH.
What the fuck is "GodLikeProductions"?
Who the fuck is Jason Lucas?
Government disinfo/propaganda site. Populated by NSA script kiddies and reverse engineering code monkeys.
Never crossed my mind
watching Bloomterd - "the good news is the people support and respect the military" but they (Hunt and Keene and most of the other talking heads fail to point out that the military were the ones propping up Mubarak for the past 30 years and his predecessors for the 26 years before that
"Hose Me Mo' Barack"
>:D
"Hose Me Mo' Barack"
End the federal reserve. It's almost a blessing that Bernanke has been enacting all these idiotic policies as the world is becoming more aware of the harm the fed inflicts upon the masses. Keep exposing yourself and the devil is no longer hidden.
agree. 3 step solution: first, cut off twitter, facebook and the entire internet. second, blame it on the FED.
third, 100 million facebookers march on washington.
hopefully this isn't part of the plan, eh?
<sarc>
Nothing like robbing Peter to pay Paul. Equity markets rise and the dollar gets hammered. Hey mom! Can I get you a latte for 50 USD @ the local shop? Served in a lead laced cardboard cup made in CHINA.

Could we be seeing unintended consequences? Is Ben hitting the panic button to try and hold up the client states? To get the ship to right?
I hope he's stumbling. The beast has to die before anything in the way of an improvement can appear.
This will have about as much effect as a Flash Mob at the mall. Once they disperse it will be as if it never happened.
Live Tweet from Cairo,
Now *that's* funny.
PMs, grains, softs, materials XLB and other non-value-added equities all on a tear last hour, having a breakaway look on my screens, and Ben unprepared for his wish coming true and national discontent spreading worldwide and toppling crony leaders.
We are rotating thru our 6 months food, water and supplies FIFO basis, and none of our neighbors or friends know. Just a few hundred thousand of you.
yeah if only their fiat denomination meant anything beyond massive manipulation?
I had to repost this because I spent nearly 30 minutes writing it!
PARTY LIKE IT'S 1789

You thought austerity riots in the UK were bad? Wait till the College debt bubble breaks, Great Depression 2 starts and everyone starts to strave. 40k much worse than 6k!
I believe Egypt is just a tiny atom of the hell we will see unleashed in the streets of America!

If you are younger than 30. You will be the first generation living in 3rd world America!
DO SOMETHING ALREADY! Quick! Why won't Bernanke stop??? Why not march on the FED/Wallstreet? Quick wasting your time with Jon Stweart, Glenn Beck, Al Sharpton and Sarah Palin!
When the shit hits the fan in the US, will the police / national guard stand down and refuse to fire on their own? I have my doubts. They'll probably hire Blackwater or whatever they call themselves now who will be paid cash daily to murder their own citizens.
I believe the police and other foreign troops already on US soil will be the ones firing on us. Thank God for our military troops as I believe they will stand with us.
Are we talking about the US Military?
or a "special force" brought in post 9/11 by Bush (Foreign paid Mercenary task force)
I believe the blood will run most wild in a Western Nation. Either Britian or the US.
Remember, the troops coming home from the Middle-East have served multiple tours unlike previous long-term war engagements!
Alex Jones' End Game (only film I liked by him) discussed this at length in 2006

The war criminals? Or the other ones?
The plan is to deploy the Alaska guard to Florida, the Florida guard to Michigan, Michigan to California....
At Tienamen Sq., the troops were brought in from Inner Mongolia.
You'd kind of expect that the governors would make a couple of phone calls and bring all of their own guard back home where they're needed to clean up the mess created by Xe and the regular military.
Or maybe we've all forgotten who the National Guard are working for. I'm pretty sure the Guard hasn't. I don't think they're going to more duty in any state but their own. Assuming they're ever allowed to return to the country and what's left of their lives.
There are some seriously pissed off people in the guard, and I don't think they'd take kindly to being hijacked from their real lives again to go off and kill other Americans, no matter how ALIEN.
Our National Guard are real people who have left real careers to fulfill a legal oblication. It's irrelevant how fucking clever D.C. Machiavelli and company might think they are in assuming they can turn us against each other using the Guard.
Ain't gonna happen. These aren't Xe robots, these are actual people with actual jobs and actual lives and actual families. Just because they really hate Dolphins fans, I'm pretty sure the Seahawks loving Washington State National Guard isn't going to open fire in Miami just because the major told them to.
The "police" will certainly stand down. They have their own families to protect.
The private contractor (XE) thing might work, provided the US dollar has any value left at that point.
Blackwater / Xe, ETC. are already embedded in the privatised corporate amrkn govt. - emulating the covert name changes as they were trained by the CIA (see: Eric Prince).
http://morrisonworldnews.com/?p=27336
"When the shit hits the fan in the US, will the police / national guard stand down and refuse to fire on their own?"
Of course not. Police are trained to fire on citizens, and get ongoing practice doing it.
Unsure about national guard but quite sure about police. No loyalty to citizens, total loyalty to government, i.e. mercenaries.
Shh! Everyone! Cramer is giving his advice on Apache!
Is the Muslim Brotherhood a Masonic creation of London, allied with Hitler, used by CIA? Google "Banna" and "Nazi" to read about Jihad's Nazi connections.

You're a fast reader! Really this is for people who don't think they already know it all.
Actually, an AMAZINGLY fast reader. Probably helps. Also, a well tuned bullshit detector helps make the time I do spend reading even more rewarding.
Interesting commentary on the Egyptian protests courtesy Israeli pressTV:
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/163122.html
Iranian, not Israeli.
PressTV opposes the ethnic cleansing of Semitic Palestinian Arabs from their homeland by white, imperialist, ashkeNAZI interlopers from Poland and Russia.
Mussolini got hung upside down. MuMuMuBarbarbarak appears to ask for specific parts of his anatomy to be despoiled.
we in the usa are hitting record prescription drug use..antianxiety rx,depression rx, adhd rx,antipyschotic rx,and the dirty little secret narcotic rx's..all being prescribed freely..
no one asks why are we a nation that is so stressed we need massive mind controlling meds??
conservatives by nature seem to reject these quick fix drugs..wonder what the use is in liberal socialists?? a great study that would be hard to design...
this has contributed to the voting in office of so many socialists the people are doped up..in effect we are an overmedicated society..we cannot react to reality with this doping.
thus the 3rd world which does not have access to the above drugs knows why they riot knows they are being screwed in America too many of our citizens are in a stupor.
ahh, so let's just make the shit up? seriously, "conservatives by nature" don't do SSRI's? maybe the conservative drug of choice is oxycontin, ask Limbaugh. . . pain killers, hmmmm.
http://ezinearticles.com/?Addiction-and-SSRI-Medications&id=1368570
found this with a quick search - all those liberal US troops, sheesh! - why don't you do a search see if you can find who exactly is the demographic for these meds, see if you can find a believeable pattern.
And here come the riots
Agent provacateurs, no doubt.
Mubarak needs a pretext for the clampdown ... again.
Holy shit: Avgidor Lieberman, Ariel Sharon, and Michael Bloomberg are driving around Cairo in an old Datsun pickup truck yelling, "We love Hosni!"
Sharon is lying in the back seat chocking on his own slobber.
Bump that! They love Hosni.
It's never. They now have until Sept to loot the place and oversee the installation of another US controlled puppet govt.
No ElBaradei and no Muslim Brotherhood at the rally today. What a surprise.
Lackeys, both.
The slogan of the day: "Friday afternoon we will meet at the palace!"
Uh-oh!
Things are going to get to a point - really soon, methinks - that Uncle Sam will be BEGGING for the Muslim Brotherhood. They're ALREADY on their knees.
Unlike these obstinate fucking peeps in the street.
Solidarity!
I love threads like this. You get to meet all kinds of government workers.
But one thing fixes it all.
FUCK YOUR TAXES.
IMF knows are roads eventually lead to Isreal. IMF pulling out all stops to back Mobarak and cronies knowing full well if US influence is lost then Isreal is doomed.
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.a3b609ec2d35c1028acc4b940e0a441d.c11&show_article=1
That about sums it up. If you want to understand anything about this and how it might play out, you have to start from your post.
The IMF and Obummer the Cia and Mossad are now all batting for the home team. All options are on the table. Let's see if it's enough.
Arabs were ready to make peace on the '67 borders. The Israelis should have taken that. Peace is in everyone's interest.
My sympathies are with the freedom seeking Egyptian people, not the dark forces trying to deny them.
Tyler, That's full-auto (machine gun) rifle fire not semi-auto. Aparrently the Army was shooting into the air to break up a fight between pro-(police)Mubarak and protestors.
Uh, oh.
I smell a "military coup" coming on.
Will the West have any influence on such a regime?
The US would have a lot of influence with an Egyptian military regime.....I am sure that in many quarters, that is the silent, yet desired outcome.
jew supremacist Michael Weiner Sausage Savage or whatever his name is wants to send an aircraft carrier to north Red Sea and another one to the south Red Sea and the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions to take and secure the entrances and the Suez Canal. I shit you not, he said this on his radio show tonight.
micheal savage is anti-islam. he embodies neo conservitism natinalistic militarism. He has critizied Ron Paul on many occasions. If he wants war with Islam then he should go fight em in the mideast. He loves Micheele Bachman who worships Israel more then the American flag. Fuck savage,Beck,hannity,O'reilly. These folk are nothing more then statist who love war not the constituion. These men are not conservatives.
These people are a distraction. They are part of the machine, designed to manipulate and influence your critical thinking skills. Unplug yourself from the matrix and ask yourself:
Cui bono?
(Who benefits?)
"The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible.Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities." George Washingtons Fairwell address
We need the return of a non interventionist foreign policy.
...well now it's all out in the open: msnbc's chuck Todd has let the cat out of the bag....Unknowingly, of course !!!
...he comes out with: "just a day before the protests started, Bob Gates (defense chief) had his REGULAR meeting with Egypt's defense minister"
So what is going on....Gates meets w/defense reps from dictorships tru-out the middle-east on a regular basis? what is the point....and just what are they saying: "I'm keeping my people in check....how about you?? ....do you need more tanks or bullets?? ...any dictator/prez we need to take out??
the black hand...
More likely just ignorance and isolation on the part of a power-elite that reserves the right to put saddles on the poor and to confiscate 30% of your income to foster their own ambitions and prop up any geographical entity that will carry their brackish water and buy advanced weapons from the crooked companies that fill their re-election tills and/or give them lucrative consulting jobs after they leave their "public service" jobs.
And, hello?, when was the last time an unscheduled, nationally televised presidential speech started at 11pm local time, perhaps delayed in this instance by barry's people, so as to, you guessed it, avoid shock to the just-closed u.s. oil and financial markets ? Just wondering...and looking forward to tomorrow openings and the rest of this week's action as indications of revised perceptions of oil and other price futures.
If it was announced last-minute that Mr. OB was about to address the nation after working hours, I would be thinking "Cuban missile crisis", when JFK got on the tube, un-scheduled, at 7pm est, 10-22-62, to fill us in on a possible Russian nuclear issue 90 miles from Miami. Yes, I am so old as to remember hearing that on my car radio while driving to a Tahoe ski destination.
'Back-channel' negotiation and manipulation is, and has been, so deep and widespread you need wings to stay above it. Imagine the asset transfers and payoffs Hose-Me is trying to arrange now for the 30 plus crony ministers who have supported and benefitted from his 30 year corruptions, and who will shortly be without their highly paid appointments, and who also know where the bodies of the uncooperatives are buried.
older and wiser, great post franzpick.
so much we will never be aware of, nor understand, behind the curtain machinations of state.

Well said franz. Hose-Me's horse-trading when the barn's on fire. Maybe he's being told not leave?

Tyler, with the end of Mubarak in sight, this might interest most readers here:
An exchange-traded fund designed to track Egypt is open for business, and has been drawing in money, even though the Egyptian stock market remains closed amid antigovernment protests.

So Obama is going to move US troops in now or what?
FWIW, file for future reference...
"With the Internet down across Egypt, Google and Twitter have come up with a way for Egyptians to tweet using their phones. Now, Dan Lyons reports, a group of hackers is close to delivering software that could turn laptops into low-cost Internet routers—and help protesters organize.
Hours after the government in Egypt shut down that country’s access to the Internet, hackers around the world started banding together to craft some kind of workaround. And one group claims to be only a day or two away from delivering a partial solution.
the initiative is called the Open Mesh Project and it began when Shervin Pishevar, an Internet entrepreneur in Palo Alto, California, posted a message on Twitter calling for help shipping software into Egypt that could turn regular laptops into low-cost Internet routers, forming what’s known as a “mesh network,” where each computer can route messages along to the others.
Since then, engineers from around the world have been spreading the word and kicking in to help. The mesh network would at least let people communicate with others located close to them. The laptops can all talk to each other. If one goes out, messages just find another way to zip through the cluster of machines..."

we have credible evidence they're 48 hours away from deploying a nooclear device
Blowback sure is a bitch, isn't it? This is another refutation of ham-handed American foreign policy throughout the cold war that has continued right up to the '08 economic collapse. Look at South America and the rise of Morales, Chavez and others in a wholly appropriate reaction to American corporate raiders trying to sieze their natural resources. No different in the Middle East. All our smack talk about democracy and freedom is made transparent in Obama's highly qualified support of the Egyptian people.
All this talk of a need for "calm" and "orderly" transition is to give CIA and Mossad operatives a chance to get enough agent provocateurs in place to give the peaceful demonstrators a bad rap, giving the Mubarak regime all they need to crush the uprising, probably with American help, certainly with American-made weapons. He has tried to destabilize the situation already with his own thugs.
The people have the power. They always have. This is terrifying to those vested in the status quo. I relish their fear. Like the people of Iceland and hopefully Ireland - Tell the bankers to pound sand. Their doomsday predictions if they aren't repayed and made whole on the backs of regular people is a lie.
Take all the hot money being poured into the system now by central banks trying to stimulate their economies. It has fueled a massive speculative bubble in commodities that is literally starving people all over the world. The naked greed of the already wealthy is taking food out of the hands of the poorest. That is the sick, deranged nature of the Anglo banking cabal. Their time is over. Hunger has driven many in the Middle East into the streets. This is one of the most unreported aspects of this regional, if not global, uprising.
The Fourth Turning is at hand and this is just the beginning. American Exceptionalism meet reality, bitchez.
"Friday afternoon we will meet at the palace!"
Bad news for Apartheid Israel.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Who the fuck junks the Declaration? Twat.
Don't be taken in by the propaganda. There is only 250k people involved in this thing in a city of 18,000,000. There are no 'millions', they are a propaganda creation. Mubarak will survive the Color Revolution and there will be a normal transition of government in September. This government system in Egypt is not a Mubarak cult, it is a continuity of the 1954 Gamal Nasser military government system. Thys system will now have a new leader after old man Mubarak goes out on his own terms after defusing this Washington coup attempt and stab in the back from the CIA.
Too bad for everyone who was hoping for a NATO/IMF stooge to take over and loot Egypt and drag it into war. Soetero's controllers are going to unravel all of America's strategic positions fomenting coups against allies like this. It is a terrible policy of treachery, but then again treachery is the defining feature of Barry Soetero.
Do not assume that the only purpose of the Egyptian Army is to gun people down in the streets. The military is supporting the regime in themost intelligent way possible. The method of resisting these post-modern coups is to just stand firm against them and they burn themselves out. Mubarak is not Kuchma, he will not be beaten psychologically by CIA/State Department tricks and the Muslim Brotherhood MI6 agents.
No mass killing is needed to stop such a small disturbance in a country of 80 million people. The military is letting people stand around peacefully and chant whatever slogans they want. This is not a defeat of the regime, it is political Judo. The military will just keep general law and order and wait out the coup attempt. In a couple more days it will seem very hollow, and people will wonder what really happened and how did it get so hyped.
Remember, the US government has openly admitted that they planned this coup for three years. It is astro turf Color Revolution garbage repackaged.
This is not Iran, where the Tweetin' Greenies were a totally stage-managed operation with fake images and fake protests against a leader with significant support. This is a volatile movement to remove a universally hated thug allied with Apartheid Israel.
The VOA, CNN, and NPR were reporting numbers like 'hundred-thousand' as you're providing here. From a propaganda point of view, reporting low numbers doesn't make any sense unless they're looking to throttle the Movement's momentum. White Imperialism doesn't control it; they're trying to catch up to this thing in order to corral it.
Do you seriously believe this is 'the plan' - to have Egypt erupt in protests over food prices, which subsequently spread to virtually every ally of White Imperialism in the region (Jordan, Yemen, etc.)?
Meanwhile, have you read Apartheid Israel's press? They're (legitimately) concerned, because they know that no matter what happens they're worse off with Mubarak impotent. Premeditation implies an endgame, and I just don't see one.
While the NED and others are obviously playing a role here, the fact that neither ElBaradei nor the Muslim Brotherhood even participated in yesterday's rallies - which collectively turned out millions of people in multiple cities without the reliable use of 'new media' - suggests a significant chasm between the Movement itself and the White Imperialists you say are running things remotely. I'm not sure that the immediate ascension to power of either established lackey would satisfy the people.
Uncle Sam is scrambling - that's why Mubarak announced he was staying, and it's why Hillary Clinton & the President both appear to have not slept since the food riots began last week. That's why the Interior Ministry is destroying museums and why last night they faced off with the protestors yammering about how much they love Hosni.
scrambled eggs my friend
Salt*N*Pepa not sleeping over this?......This, an organic/genuine turn of events? the propensity for your claim is there, we'll see.
