Hank Mubarak Pulls The Bankster M.A.D. Trump Card: "If I Leave, Egypt Will Collapse"
Hosni "Hank" Mubarak sure is learning from the best criminals in the world.... Fast. Well over two years after Hank Paulson told Congress that the world would end unless he was given unlimited power to give the banks however much money the needed, Egypt's despotic president has done exactly the same, and in an interview with ABC's Christiane Amanpour, "said he's fed up with being president and would like to leave office
now, but cannot, he says, for fear that the country would sink into
chaos." And there you have it: the same mutual assured destruction strategy used by bankster and by despotic tyrant alike. One wonders - is there really any difference between the two.
From Christiane Amanpour:
I've just left the presidential palace in Cairo where I met for about 30 minutes with president Mubarak. He told me that he is troubled by the violence we have seen in Tahrir Square over the last few days but that his government is not responsible for it. Instead, he blamed the Muslim Brotherhood, a banned political party here in Egypt. He said he's fed up with being president and would like to leave office now, but cannot, he says, for fear that the country would sink into chaos.
I asked President Mubarak about the violence that his supporters launched against the anti-government protestors in Liberation Square.
He told me, "I was very unhappy about yesterday. I do not want to see Egyptians fighting each other."
When I asked him what he thought seeing the people shouting insults about him and wanting him gone, he said, "I don't care what people say about me. Right now I care about my country, I care about Egypt."
I asked how he felt after giving the speech Monday night, saying he would not run for president again, he told me he felt relief.
For now, Mubarak remains in the presidential palace with his family, heavily guarded by armed troops, tanks and barbed wire. We were joined by his son Gamal, who was once widely considered to be his successor. Mubarak told me it was never his intention to have his son follow him into office.
And he pledged his loyalty to Egypt. I would never run away, he said, I will die on this soil. He also defended his legacy, recounting the many years he has spent leading his country.
While he described President Obama as a very good man, he wavered when I asked him if hour felt the U.S. had betrayed him. When I asked him how he responded to the United States' veiled calls for him to step aside sooner rather than later, he said he told President Obama "you don't understand the Egyptian culture and what would happen if I step down now."
I asked him how he himself was feeling. He said I am feeling strong. I would never run away. I will die on Egyptian soil.
We forget: did Hank Paulson also say he would die on US soil when he used the same rhetorical contraption in September 2008? Or does he have everyone's permission to do so in a non-extradition treaty country, next to his stash of gold and his private jet?

"The Egyptian poor are paying for it".
The Egyptian poor were always poor, are poor and will always be poor.
Problem is there are millions of them and they are growing in numbers.
I don't know why the Europeans ever allowed the massive immigration of North African poor.
Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
But then again, why do we allow the massive immigration of Mexican poor?
Except for the six thousand years prior to the last couple hundred, you're right.
Moron.
To answer your question, Europe allowed north africans (and others) into their countries for several reasons and is country specific. One genral reason be Europe is an aging continent and so its population. They do not have enough young people due to thier low birthrate so they basically have to import younger people including educated and non-educated to fulfill the need of thier economies. Germany is a good example. The other reason is countries like France have that close ties to former colonies like Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco and in the case of the UK the former commonwealth nations, like India and they give them preferrential treatment since they already speak the language at home. In fact many north africans consider themselves French and french is thier day to day language. Egyptians on the other hand hardly immigrate to Europe and most of them choose to work in other MiddleEastern countries like Jordan and the Gulf states, mostly as cheap labor.
Wait, walkure is a staunch defender of international finance...I mean look at the fucking wealth for smart people. Just look at every Phd natural science job being shipped to the east. Walkure knows wealth...Fiinancial wealth that is.
But the west is good for something. We're supposed to send the kids over there to fight the war against Islam so that Walkure doesn't have to do the job himself.
Fuck Walkure...and his umlaut.
You're a starving lion, so what good can you do anymore. Your teeth falling out yet?
If you have no cash, go fight. It's been that way forever.
Damn straight. Find someone with cash - banker-gangsters, for example - and take it.
That would turn things around for a little while.
What's your solution?
He leaves and voila, overnight the people figure out how to govern themselves over there?
Do you care to hear what middle class Egyptians are thinking / saying about all this?
They see themselves as the biggest loosers when the Egyptian Taliban aka Muslim Brotherhood goes full retard.
He's a brigand and a traitor.
And he's just about gone. Deal with it.
How about Movement takes power in Egypt and leads a march of 10 million people to Jerusalem?
Yes, Chaos is the slimeball's biggest excuse. May see it over here.
Glenn Beck is on right now trying to explain how the Egyptian uprising is brought on by an unholy alliance of communists and islamic extrimists. With the usual blackboards.
They probably have Multi-Billion Dollar accounts at the same Swiss Bank.
Socialist Mubarak uses the same language Socialists use.
Here in Greece we hear the same words from Socialist Papandreou.
Greeks support Egyptians for they suffer the same from Socialist Regimes.
Free Greece from Socialism!
Whatever you do, don't create a Capitalist one.
If you do, the banks will take you for all you've got, making you a fool, idiot, punk, and a sucker.
No more Capitalism, because Capitalism sucks.
Mubarak hasn't ruled Egypt for 30 years because he's a moron folks. He plays the game the way Sun Tzu taught. He made his announcement not to seek another term sound like a concession. But, remember, he wasn't planning on running for another term anyway. He was setting up to transfer power to his son. He's done a brilliant job playing the diaspora of opposition groups off against his own supporters, while balancing the interests of the army.
Honestly, the best outcome for the United States would be a coup. The Egyptian military is highly professional. Their officer corp trains with and in the US. But, but, democracy??? In a way, Mubarak is right. If he just left, and the military stood aside, Egypt would look like Iraq circa 2006 for a few years, then probably look a lot like Iran after than. Contrast that with a coup, where the military runs the show, and there is at least a chance of establishing real democratic institutions and time for average, secular Egyptians to marginalize the radical Islamist factions.
Honestly, the best outcome for the United States would be a coup.
I agree. Oh i guess you meant for the coup to happen in Egypt. Oops sorry.
The Egyptian military is highly professional
As in "I get paid now and thats all I give a shit about. Supporting a coup might threaten that so die peasants!"
Except that the gunners are peasants ...
The best outcome is for the people of Egypt to decide exactly what it is they want and then do it no matter what happens. That may go against us and it should. We have done everything we can to ruin that country and the others in the middle east soley to placate that terrorist little state called israhole, which is located on stolen arab lands.
You could start by dumping the 30 year "Emergency Law" and dumping the Secret Police, but NO......
This guy is a real piece of work...."If I leave, the country will collapse"....pal, it's more like " I'm staying, so the country is collapsing!"
