Washington Post Confirms that Egyptian Looters Were Agents Provocateur

The Washington Post writes today:

Human
Rights Watch confirmed several cases of undercover police loyal to
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's regime committing acts of violence
and looting in an attempt to stoke fear of instability as
demonstrations grew stronger Tuesday against the autocratic leader.

 

Peter Bouckaert, the emergency director at Human Rights Watch, said
hospitals confirmed that they received several wounded looters shot by
the army carrying police identification cards. They also found several
cases of looters and vandals in Cairo and Alexandria with police
identification cards. He added that it was "unexplainable" that
thousands of prisoners escaped from prisons over the weekend.

 

"Mubarak's mantra to his own people was that he was the guarantor of the
nation's stability. It would make sense that he would want to send the
message that without him, there is no safety," Bouckaert said.

This only confirms what we already knew about Mubarak's use of agents provocateur to carry out false flag disruptions.

Thank you, President Mubarak ... for educating the world about the concepts of agents provocateur and false flags disruptions.

by the way, Isreal is bummed Obama admin betrayed Mubarak...but really, even if you are greedy imperialist, what choice did you have...let the guy get violent and have that reported across the world...yeah, that would have worked...in very repressive governments like Iran, No Korea, China they can still do this, but no way Egypt regime was going to be able to crack down and not cause huge unrest througout middle east.

You know, the bad actors have gotten more sophisticated over the years but so have to regular folks dealing with them. Maybe I'm dreaming but I think regular folks are gaining on them, relatively speaking.

There was a time such dirtiness would never be exposed and noticed the difference in reporting on this issue between discussions with regular Egyptians both here and abroad on TV News (in this case MSNBC) , and their official reporters. Their official reporters just talked about looting not saying who it was but the Egyptians interviewed were all over it, right away it changed the discussion quickly. Eventually it was acknowledge narrative by some of MSM a day or 2 later. People are hip to this stuff, people can communicate...so if one or two police get caught doing bad, some Egyptian protesting in NY knows about it real time.

30 years ago, you would read about this stuff in semi-mainstream history books, magazines 25 years after it happened. Like COINTELPRO stuff against the Black Panthers...sure the local black community would know Fred Hampton was assasinated, not that he shut up cops and then was killed, the BPPers gave a tours of his bullet ridden apt (all trajectories leading in, not out to prove it, but it took a long time to get into general knowledge, and still ignored. You heard police bad acts in relation to South African Apartheid regimes long after they were gone.

5-10 years ago I read about this kind of on a blog...about how Isreal would sneak secret police in wearing Palenstinian scarves to cause havoc. Now it's real time debunking. I noticed this during the recent presidential campaign...it seemed like the older politicians were used to just lying and not being called on it in time to matter, but no more.

There was time when only hard core conspiracy theorists or hard core radicals know about this type of thing and were on guard for provacteur, but regular people have seen all the various dirty tricks pulled over the years and are not so naive about them any more.

Very surprised to see this openly admitted by the WaPo. Since WaPo is the political voice of the US state, it appears to be the sign that Mubarak is finished. The powers that be only support current and future "friends" in the state's paper of political record.

That could work out to be a boon for the people. Imagine if a discredited former western puppet, who had just enough egomania, realized he was being thrown to the wolves and decided to shoot his mouth off. A person like Mubarak could be worth 10 Julian Assanges (and 2 in the bush). I know that will probably never happen, but a girl can dream, can't she?
