I'm so frickin excited!
To see that many people standing up against the power.

Peacefully proving haters wrong.

Bowing in prayer.

Helping each other.

And the army protecting them.

There is hope.

And it comes from the most ancient of civilizations.

Thanks to them.

1. One of today's big protests chants "'Tahya masr! masr om al donya"
it means "Egypt, is the mother of the world!"

There's hope. They fought for us all.

I bow to their courage.

9. you and me both. I remember someone mentioning that the
consciousness of the world was coming to the point in 2011-2012 that great things were coming. I guess they are. :-D

11. If not, it's an amazing coincidence.
This song is very popular in the Anonymous, resistance circle right now. It's been non-professionally translated into at least 7 languages that I know of. If you like this, there are others but this one has to do with what we're talking about here.

English
Fifth Sun by Keny Arkana

my specie's losing its way
minds are overheating
people hate each other
war of egos ~ 21st century ~ cynicism and contempt
no respect
for the Earth ~ guts filled of with madness ~ boundaries,roadblocks ,
riots and
night sticks ~ Screams and bloodbaths, bombs exploding
Politics of
Fear, Immoral Science ~ Insurrection of the People
weapons market

New world order, collusion of terror ~ Man is
the most predatory animal ~ The system stinks of Death ,
murderers of Life ~ Killed the memory to better
kill the Future

Head full of disks
senses betray us
3rd eye open
because the brain lies to us

Mankind is lost
forgot its strength,
forgot the moon,
the sun and the atom
reversal of the poles
all going to hate
Lost its damn mind over an excuse to divide us
selfishness for banners
miserable time
collective hatred against visceral rage

a glimmer in the heart
a tear in the eye
a prayer in the head
an old pain
a life of resentment where forgiveness dies
where even the faith gets scared,
Come on, we're going now.

Laws made only for the people
while rulers tyrannize us
brotherhoods and business at the top of the pyramid
They sponsor blood between tanks and uzis
innocent in a sky stained by the color of factories

A silence of mourning
a stray bullet
An entire family in tears
a child shot down
state militias
paramilitaries
cerebral lunacies
entire populations on the ground

squalid slums of misery at the palace doors
freedom stolen, a synonyme of paperwork
humanity bartered away for a make believe life
between the morning's stress and evening's anguish
heads full of neuroses, nerves worn-out
characterize modern man often corrupted
and when the city sleep, it happens without even noticing,
a silent death, a homeless person out in the cold

cement jail, behind the blinders
the struggle is so long for just a little light
families broken up, and the fathers disappear
children don't laugh more, to build their own ramparts

Mothers take it all on their shoulders,
one out of three young people in jail
All this shit is real, so we'll be fighting again
It's a bad drug trip that devours us from the inside
A bottle of vodka,few grams of weed (bad trip )

some of them never come back,
they tighten their arm so violently
Subutex injected in a puddle of blood

Childrens fightingt, one knife too many
It's no longer home when the kids come home early

they learn craftiness in a glass of anger
Formatted in thes streets,formatted in school

Everyone has his own floppy,when worlds meet
it's war of cultures, even hatred of shame

barriers are here in our heads, well warmed
the most intransigent crack up fast,it's the law of the reed
No, nothing is simple here,daily grind remain
In wounded hearts slowly dying.

Don't cry my sister, 'cause you carry the world
noble is your heart, believe in yourself and get up
don't listen the bastards who want to see you sad
Even mother earth is sick, but mother earth is resisting

man has manufactured his world for himself,
apprentice creator who messed it all up
bloodthirsty predator

Babylon seems so great
but it has no more substance
than a vulgar masquerade perfumed with illusion
it's the master of our naive and gullible minds,
mass conditioning while our nerves are frayed,
by rage, a bastion of galley slaves
together we're the world and the system is nothing

take care of your brother, stay close to your hearts
Be wary of the system, murderer and liar
keep away from hatred that jumps into our arms
humanity of mankind, only love will save us

listen to the silence when your soul is in peace
The light is there,the light came in
truth is inside us, fruits of creation
Don't forget your history, don't forgot your mission

that we're the last generation that can change everything
Life is with us, don't be afraid of the danger
raise up our voices in order to never forget
Heaps of stardust,what are you waiting for to shine?

All brothers and sisters, make again the chain
Because we are only one, divided in the flesh
Find joy again, mutual aid to help each other rise
A glimmer is enough to melt the darkness

Time is running out of steam, a smell of sulfur
You can feel the end, the Beast captivates the crowd
The symbols are reversed, funerals are getting all mixed up

The star that spins the wheel is getting closer to our sky

Earth in agony,
honor despised,
madness,
slander,
not enough heart at the right time

ignorance of happiness, of the magic of life
shocked by horror, trained to survive

this era, the worst,
one part of the consequences
good or evil, today you must choose which side you're on

mankind got lost, too concentrated on owning things
the stars consulting with each other to bring us back on the right path

the grid's all chiseled up but the light still gets through
trust in life, in the strength of your dreams
everyone's got an angel on his shoulder, there if you search for him
when your hearts is one with your spirit and deeds

the big day is coming, don't you see the signs?
death doesn't exist, it's just the end of the cycles
this end takes shape, humanity decimates itself
indigo hope, the Pleiades are choosing us
raise your head and understand
feel the strength in your soul
rise above babylon,
solve the mystery
nothing's coming by chance,
heaven bless you,
child of the 5th sun, understand what's between the lines

(spoken)

understand between the lines,
childs of 5th sun
the sun is in you.
shine your interior light to illuminate the chaos of their world
we're not here by accident
the Pleiades are choosing us
raise your head
understand what's written between the lines
listen to your heart
disobedience
because the truth is inside us
because the solution is inside us
because the life is inside us
because the life is inside us




French
Cinquième Soleil par Keny Arkana

mon espèce s'égare, l'esprit qui suchauffe
les gens se détestent, la guerre des égos
XXIe siècle, cynisme et mépris
non respect de la Terre, folie plein les tripes
frontières, barricades, émeutes et matraques
cris et bains de sang, bombes qui éclatent
politique de la peur, science immorale
insurrection d'un peuple, marché des armes
Nouvelle Ordre Mondial, fusion de terreur
l'homme, l'animal, le plus prédateur
le système pue la mort, assassin de la vie
a tué la mémoire pour mieux tuer l'avenir
des disquettes plein la tête, les sens nous trompent
3e oeil ouvert car le cerveau nous ment
l'être humain s'est perdu, a oublié sa force
a oublié la lune, le soleil et l'atome
inversion des pôles vers la haine se dirige
a perdu la raison pour une escuse qui divise
l'égoisme en devise, époque misérable
haine collective contre rage viscérale
une lueur dans le coeur, une larme dans l'oeil
une prière dans la tête, une vieille douleur
une vive racoeur, là ou meurt le pardon
où même la voix prend peur, allez viens nous partons
des lois faites pour le peuple et les rois tyrannisent
confréries et business en haut de la pyrammide
sa sponsorise le sang, entre chars et uzis
innocent dans un ciel aux couleurs des usines
un silence de deuil, une balle perdue
toute une famille en pleure, un enfant abbatu
des milices de l'état, des paramilitaires
des folies cérébrales, des peuples entiers a terre
bidonvilles de misère à l'entrée des palaces
liberté volée, synonyme de paperasse
humanité troquée contre une vie illusoire
entre stress du matin et angoisses du soir
des névroses plein la tête les nerfs rompus
caractérisent l'homme moderne, bien souvent corrompus
et quand la ville s'endort, arrive tant de fois
une mort silencieuse, un SDF dans le froid
prison de ciment, derrière les oeillères
le combat est si long, pour un peu de lumière
les famille se déchirent et les pères se font rare
les enfant ne rient plus, se batissent des remparts
les mères prennent sur elles, un jeune sur trois en taule
toute cette merde est réelle, donc on se battera encore
c'est la "malatripa" qui nous bouffe les tripes
une bouteille de vodka, quelques grammes de weed
certains ne reviennent pas, le serrage est violent
subutex injecté dans une flaque de sang
des enfants qui se battent, un couteau de couteau en trop
ce n'est plus à la baraque que les mômes rentrent tôt
ils apprennent la ruse dans un verre de colère
formatage de la rue, formatage scolaire
c'est chacun sa disquette, quand les mondes se rencontrent
c'est le choc des cultures, voir la haine de la honte
les barrières sont là, dans nos têtes bien au chaud
les plus durs craquent vite, c'est la loi du roseau
non rien n'est rose ici, la grisaille demeure
dans les coeurs meurtris qui a petit feu meurent
ne pleure pas ma soeur car tu portes le monde
noble est ton coeur, crois en toi et remonte
n'écoute pas les batards qui voudraient te voir triste
même Terre-mère est malade, mais Terre-mère résiste
l'homme s'est construit son monde, apprenti créateur
qui a tout déréglé, sanguinaire prédateur
babylone est bien grande mais n'est rien dans le fond
qu'une vulgaire mascarade au parfum d'illusion
maîtresse de nos esprits, crédules et naifs
conditionnement massif, là ou les nerfs sont à vifs
dans la marche et la rage, bastion des galériens
ensemble nous sommes le monde et le système n'est rien
prend conscience mon frère, reste près de ton coeur
méfie toi du système, assassin et menteur
éloigne toi de la haine qui nous saute tous au bras,
humanité humaine, seul l'Amour nous sauvera
écoute le silence quand ton âme est en paix
la lumière s'y trouve, la lumière est rentrée
vérité en nous même, fruit de la création
n'oublie pas ton histoire, n'oublie pas ta mission
dernière génération à pouvoir tout changer
la vie est avec nous n'ai pas peur du danger
alors levons nos voix, pour ne plus oublier
bout de poussière d'étoile, qu'attends-tu pour briller ?
tous frères et soeurs, reformons la chaine
car nous ne sommes qu'un divisé dans la chaire
retrouvons la joie, l'entraide qu'on s'élève
une lueur suffit à faire fondre les ténèbres
s'essoufle ce temps, une odeur de souffre
la fin se ressent, la bête envoute la foule
les symboles s'inversent se confondent les obsèques
l'étoile qui fait tourner la roue se rapproche de notre ciel
terre a l'agonie, mal-être à l'honneur
folie, calomnie peu de coeur à la bonne heure
ignorance du bonheur, de la magie de la vie
choqué par l'horreur, formé a la survie
l'époque, le pire, une part des conséquences
le bien, le mal, aujourd'hui choisi ton camp
l'être humain s'est perdu trop centré sur l'avoir
les étoiles se concertent pour nous ramener sur la voix,
quadrillage ficelé, mais passe la lumière
ai confiance en la vie, en la force de tes rêves
tous un anges à l'épaule, présent si tu le cherches
quand le coeur ne fait qu'un, avec l'esprit est le geste
le grand jour se prépare, ne vois-tu pas les signes ?
la mort n'existe pas, c'est juste la fin des cycles
cette fin se déssine, l'humain se décime
espoir indigo, les pléïades nous désignent
lève ta tête et comprend, sa la force en ton être
dépasse babylone, élucide la mystère
rien ne se tire au sort, que le ciel te bénisse
enfant du quinto sol, comprend entre les lignes.

(parlé)
comprend entre les lignes
enfant du quinto sol
le soleil est en toi
fait briller ta lumière intèrieur
pour éclairer le chaos de leur monde
on est pas là par hasard
les pleïades nous désignent
lèves ta tête, comprend entre les lignes
écoute ton coeur
désobeissance,
car la vérité est nous
car la solution est en nous
parceque la vie est en nous
parceque la vie est en nous

2. This Egyptian revolt may be the catalyst needed here in the U.S.
My hope is that TPTB are shaking in their boots that an uprising could occur here and act accordingly. With that being said, I have to admit that most of my hopes and dreams have long ago shriveled up.

4. I highly doubt that since
part of the population here see the nation of Egypt as a bunch of "Islamist terrorists" and another portion of the population see what is going on as a media event to be experienced vicariously.

7. Now, now don't be a wet blanket! I understand and realize what
you say may be exactly what's occurring in the U.S. but a person can still dream!

6. Howard Zinn, one of my favorite quotations...
"TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."
— Howard Zinn

8. As a true Canadian I would say,
"Not bad. Not bad at all..."

Screw that. I'm over the fucking moon about this! I haven't been able to work since Friday morning. Twitter on the desktop, AJE and DU on the browser.

Walkin' like an Egyptian in Ottawa.
