It's reached Saudi Arabia now? Well then, the Islamic movement towards restoring the caliphate has begun. It does not fare well for those who would prefer peace and quiet.

The people of Egypt are demanding bread, freedom, and social justice. So no fear there. I think that is just paronia, no offense, but if they do go that way let us hope it'll be like Andulsia in Spain or like a great Caliphate of the past that followed the Sufi Islam religous zeal vs having an idea that that means this is the end for us, when this is at very least one step in the right direction.

Yup. I believe this is all happening to destroy very important evidence of SOMETHING HUGE that is in the process of being disclosed.

(See the thread I started today called "The REAL Disclosure".)

I concur. As soon as I read that the presidents' wife, children, grand-children, along with all the countrys' richest most infuential families have all fled the country on their private jets for places such as the US and UK, the hairs on my back stood up. I believe this is something *MUCH LARGER* than just a nations' people who are fighting for freedom. Those in the know obviously think this is going to be a MAJOR, LONG TERM thing that is not going to just peter out after a few weeks.... At least, thats the feeling I get from all this. I don't know, there may be something regarding the pyramids involved......

...........nm will try and make this post beneficial with any recent updates
Edit: At least over 150 have been killed in protests so far in Egypt
People are calling for an international strike today in order to help topple regime.
And the sun is rising on Egypt still defying 8AM curfew
April 6th movement calls for a million to protesters to demonstrate on Tuesday
Security forces to be redeployed on monday except in Tahrir square
Army to begin errecting barricades in central Egypt. Right now trying to stop the cars by using a tank to allow only one lane access.
Support for the Egyptian protesters is being demonstrated in Turkey and many around the world.
People in countries such as the US are trying to be flown out of Egypt
Germany, UK, US, and France leaders appear to be tiptoeing on this issue or the only ones I know of who at first wanted reform in the government, but after that failed. They probably realize it is better to go with movement and try and turn it in their favor as far as I can tell.
Will we allow that to happen? the ball is in our court so to speak imo. But only time will tell

If this were simple riots and protests it would die down after a few days, amybe weeks...... the rich & famous could go to the countryside and be safe until it had dies down.....

What I'd really like to know now is what is *REALLY* happening in Egypt for the rich and famous to not just be going to safety within their country, but EVACUATING overseas to western countries..... For that to happen, surely they must know of a LONG AND PROTRACTED PERIOD OF REAL DANGER coming?? Not just riots, but REAL danger...

(Unless they are really that scared of the masses waking up???)

It's uncertainty they fear. They have really never seen the masses waking up as whole like this as globally as it has. Or they have and seen just what extremes planning how to put the masses back to sleep. My guess probably both or in the middle in between is what's happening. But I am praying that this is helping create a larger precedent of what is considered it means to be a democracy. I am only 19 wishful and naive as hell but hoping for the best right now and consider it possible.
Also with what we seen in Egypt it can be learned that the PTB won't give up the fight without die trying. And only unity can mitigate this.

Wait isn't this the new prime ministers twitter that Mubarak but in order in response to the ptb to just "reform" the government? And I thought most of the police went 'underground' so more chaos would spread trying to destroy the protests? I just woke up so I am trying to find out what happen. I am behind the Egyptians protesters and it's very telling hearing which gov don't want the dictator to be removed. That said the protesters are doing a great job dispite all the setbacks they are having to face. It's insprirational and beautiful how much unity their has been. They cannot be ignored. Aljazeera's stream is what I am using to stay on top of what's happening http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/

Edit: Now airforce is flying low roaring over Tahrir square trying to scare the protesters, constantly right now since curfew is about to start at least that's my guess, but each time theirs a defening roar by the protesters of "Go away!".

i believe it is yes..
we can only guess how they have used the police to try and make the protestors to look like "the bad guys" as has been done in just about any uprising in humanity. and if this spreads into something the whole world can follow or join in on i would be happy to, but i would only join if i knew in my heart that the majority are there for their own feeling of the state of the world. i would be disheartened to see protestors around me destroying property that they will only have to rebuild themselves and at their own expense (taxes). a protest group is a very fine line thing, they can be turned into a monster if the group does not maintain the integrity of what they are originally there for. i fear so much that and uprising like this can imprison us deeper. but ialso want it to happen so badly the world needs it.
what the world needs to see alongside these protests is history and the story that has led them there. the true story, the research behind it and no added MSG by the mainstream

This only my second post so be gentle with me

While i to think its a strike for freedom i cant help being a bit uneasy about this just who they guna bring in to rule as David Icke says Problem Reaction Solution

If you look at the Tunisian uprising, it's a youth uprising. It is the youth that knows how to use the media, Internet, Facebook, so there are other players. And I do not believe that the US or Israel will set the tone. There's no way a foreign agency could or would be involved. Governments never engage in regime change especially with the the Egyptian youth.

An interesting portrayal of the Egyptian youth is provided in the The Egypt Human Development Report 2010, published by the UN Development Programme and the Ministry of Economic Development.

Although Egypt is a middle-income developing country, it has a relatively high poverty rate which has agone up from 19.6% to 21.6% between 2008 and 2010. Unem­ployment is also high, being near to 10%, an increase from 8.4% in 2008.

What is worse, the unemployment among young males (aged 15 to 29 years) was 32% in 2009, meaning that one in three young men was out of a job. And many more were affected by underemployment.

“Many respondents said that growing unemployment has led to insecurity over the future,” according to the Egypt Human Develop­ment Report, giving details of a survey it carried out.

“It leaves them with time on their hands, little to do and frustrated.

“Unemployment also affects allegiance to the state, which is perceived as a root cause of the lack of work. This, potentially, could intensify the rebellion against what is perceived as a dysfunctional system of governance, expressed either through violence against that reality or by withdrawal into a ‘purer’ spiritual sphere.”

This analysis of the state of mind of young Egyptians had actually forecast the “rebellion” against the regime that has now taken place.

The report also pinpointed the perceived weakness of the state’s developmental role as a reason for disillusionment among the youth. They are further alienated by having no channel of communication to the ruling elite.

“The youth do not feel the state extends services to them,” said the report. “The quality of education is poor, employment opportunities modest to non-existent, and this reduces their attachment to the state and its regime.”

The report added that the youth fear that the only means for social mobility is bribery, favouritism or bypassing the law, which breeds a feeling of hopelessness.

As a result, there is low interest among the youth for formal politics, with only 6% strongly interested, while 84% strongly support further democracy in the country.

Last week, this combination of frustration with the system and the desire for “more democracy” must have contributed to the outpouring of feelings in the streets in many parts of Egypt.

How these dramatic events will lead may be determined this week. Veteran journalist and specialist in Middle East affairs, Robert Fisk, covering the Cairo events, wrote: “It might be the end. It is certainly the beginning of the end.”

An important lesson from this crisis is that political stability in any country can be threatened if the interests of the young are not taken care of, especially their having enough job opportunities, participation in decision making, and their yearning for democracy.

I think the median age of 24 is the key. Young people are interested in the world and engaged in social media. One thing young people are really good at is only touching things once.They are young, street smart and their pride at being Egyptian.

A lot is still happening within Egypt. Aljazeera camera equipment has been siezed, and 6 are under arrest in Cario by security forces.
Regime is still trying to ignore the people and electing new people in office

listening to last nights coast to coast am (at least i think it's last night's) and the first guest had a good idea for everyone to keep an old dial up modum and the software to run it for communicating in an emergency, ()if you ever come across a digital unplugging, like in egypt.) he said it's a lot harder to unplug telephone lines than digital and that made a lot of sense to me. however, i am no internet expert. thought i would pass that along.

first EU had economic crisis... now arab countries are having social crisis... why i keep thinking this is all planned?

Yes ... anytime any story (and admittedly this is big) is covered nonstop by the MSN one has to wonder what they do not want us to look at ... move along, nothing to see here.

Hi All,
I understand most all of you here know there will be alot of outside noise and analyzation with all these current going ons
...but...
I personally 'feel' these current happenings are going to energize the rhythm of 'good' people world-wide as never before...to make CHANGE..."good", regular, honest, intelligent, hard working people, everywhere!

I thought this says a lot for what is happening right now in Egypt...

“Here you will see extremists, moderates, Christians, Muslims, all kinds of people. It is the first time that we are all together since the revolution of Saad Zaghloul,” said Naguib, another demonstrator, referring to the leader of the 1919 revolution against the British occupation.

“On American television, they won’t stop saying that if Mubarak steps down, the Muslim Brotherhood will take over. But this is not the case. It is really the people who are coming together for their rights,” said Tamer, an American-Egyptian.

well old dial up modem will only work in an established network... they wont cut our home net line they will cut the ISPs ... so using dial up doesnt change the fact that isp will be dead. Dial up will only work if we know ip addresses of site etc and IF they dont block the DNS servers that relay the infos.

So dial up is not a good solution to the "net cut". Tho telnet connections or mircs that run on private server "might" run. For many years now all internet is rooted/given from isp with out them ... there should be private ppl with knowledge and equipment... and courage to oppose the "net cut"

awesome! my first use of quotes!

thanks for explaining those details. is there any reason a dial-up modem might be helpful in america to communicate messages? like say...solar flares or something not "cutting off"?
