39. Picked this up and thought interesting ....


QUOTE --

WHERE IS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

(1) A plan to cut off all aid and all economic ties to Egypt if the government-sponsored attacks on peaceful demonstrators continue?

(2) A specific condemnation against all attacks against journalists, and an international plan to protect them?

(3) An honest accounting of the role played by the Egyptian military in facilitating these attacks by violent thugs against unarmed civilians?

(4) An international demand that Mubarak and his new “vice president”--torture general Omar Suleiman--immediately leave office and stand trial for crimes against humanity?

(5) A call for the United States to stop lying about its actions and admit its involvement in the planning and execution of these horrific events?

(6) A U.N. security council plan to expel the United States, Israel, and Egypt from the United Nations if they continue to engage in actions that constitute a serious threat to world peace? (Israel is the largest recipient of U.S. military and economic aid, and Egypt is the second largest.)

(7) A list of all the corporations that profit from selling military equipment and supplies to countries in the Middle East, and an accounting of exactly how much money to the penny that each business executive and investor made on these immoral transactions in 2010?

(8) A plan to take away the broadcast licenses of all the major media corporations in the U.S. that effectively blacked out or completely distorted the details of the attack on civilians in Tahrir Square?

(9) A plan to fire all the pundits and “journalists” who have (a) covered up information about the actual planners and directors of these events, and (b) neglected to specify their actual motivations: resource monopolization and citizen control? The coverage throughout the entire U.S. mainstream media today was utterly and unforgivably atrocious.

(10) A call for a general strike in the United States to take control of our own government and put a stop to this murderous foreign policy?

I invite others to add to this list.

* * *

I want to echo a resounding call of appreciation in honor of the extraordinarily brave Egyptian workers and students who withstood the attacks by Mubarak’s thugs in Tahrir Square today—the bricks, stones, knives, gunshots, Molotov cocktails (petrol bombs), fires, water cannons, tear gas, metal pipes, bottles, office chairs, two-by-fours, kicks, punches, slashes, cuts, stabs, and everything else. They are all heroes!

40. Indeed! Where is it all?
Can you believe we witnessed this all? I admire those people so much. Last night they became even bigger heroes. Not in my worst nightmares could I have imagined such a thing.

17. If we hadn't witnessed this all, Egypt AND the US would have a myth for us
in the morning about Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, maybe even a fabricated Bin Laden recording.

You witnessed this. Never forget what you saw. Fight the lies that will try to minimize this.

20. That HIDDEN Al Jazeera camera & Ramy Raoof really fucked things up for them!
Edited on Wed Feb-02-11 11:12 PM by Catherina
Imagine the lies if Al Jazeera hadn't had the forethought to hide a stationary camera in there and if that courageous reporter RamyRaoof hadn't snuck back in there with a camera, as well as journalists like Evan Chill, Ben from CNN, Richard and the others in these tweet threads hadn't fearlessly gone in there to report.

The intent was to cover these crimes and blame them on someone else.

Never forget what we just witnessed.
