Your thoughts on what's going down in Egypt?

[Team Zen]

Hey everybody,

The Egypt uprisings are taking over all attention on CNN, BBC, Skynews, Al Jezeera- I'm dubious as to what's going on...what are your thoughts? I'm curious to know perspectives...

[Wind]

Maybe people are just tired of oppression? I mean, who wouldn't want true freedom?

Apperantly the country just overthrew its president.

This is a sign in my opinion that the paradigm is shifting, because they

very easily took back their country. It shows the average person that

the power really is in the hands of the people.

I really appreciate this feedback...I get worried, though, because of all the suspicion regarding the plan of the elites (or whatever) manipulating the politics of the middle east right now... I'm watching it right now- I am so in awe of the people coming together and taking a stand- but do they know what they're doing? Is it idealist? Or is this real movement for change on a positive direction for the benefit of the people? Perhaps my ignorance of the nuances of all this prevents me from forming an real opinion...

I also wish I had more to go on.
Our member on the ground says he thinks it is legitimately the people behind it.
During the first one we saw all sorts of stuff in usa about it, this time it seems minimal.
My big question is whether the independent banking system is going to go back in.

It looks like TPTWB lost their puppet ... this time it may be for real.
If so, it's a good thing the military showed support for the people.

This may also throw a wrench in the works of letting the Muslim
Brotherhood spread out in the middle east.

Another delay in the Elite's plans ...

I think there are strong forces supporting the people of Egypt to prevent civil war and stay united. They are certainly aware of what is going on in Syria. Obviously, the people had some help because they had the nice lasers and firecrackers and the Egyptian military helicopters taking pictures and carrying their flag. I understand there were several different groups who participated in the protest: some who wanted the help of the military and some who didn't.

Big news tonight...

3 July (2057 British Summer Time)


Army ousts Egypt's President Morsi

The head of Egypt's army has given a TV address, announcing that President Mohammed Morsi is no longer in office.

Gen Abdul Fattah al-Sisi said the constitution had been suspended and the chief justice of the constitutional court would take on Mr Morsi's powers.

Flanked by religious and opposition leaders, Gen Sisi said Mr Morsi had "failed to meet the demands of the Egyptian people".

Anti-Morsi protesters in Cairo gave a huge cheer in response to the speech.

The army's move to depose the president follows four days of mass street demonstrations against Mr Morsi, and an ultimatum issued by the military which expired on Wednesday afternoon.

TV stations belonging to Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood went off air at the end of the speech and state news agency Mena said managers at the movement's Misr25 channel had been arrested.

Minutes later, a notice went up on Mr Morsi's Facebook page denouncing the army move as a "military coup".

The statement asked Egyptian citizens - both civilians and military - to "abide by the constitution and the law and not to respond to this coup".

The ousted leader's current whereabouts are unclear. However, earlier reports said security forces had imposed a travel ban on both him and other leading figures in the Muslim Brotherhood.

'Roadmap' for the future
General Sisi said on state TV that the armed forces could not stay silent and blind to the call of the Egyptian masses.

He spoke of a new roadmap for the future, and said that the chief justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court, Adli Mansour, would be given the task of "running the country's affairs during the transitional period until the election of a new president".

After Gen Sisi's address, both Pope Tawadros II - the head of the Coptic Church - and leading opposition figure Mohammed ElBaradei made short televised speeches about the new roadmap for Egypt's future which they had agreed with the army.

Mr ElBaradei said the roadmap aimed for national reconciliation and represented a fresh start to the January 2011 revolution.

"This roadmap has been drafted by honourable people who seek the interests, first and foremost, of the country," added Pope Tawadros.

Fireworks
The army is currently involved in a show of force, fanning out across Cairo and taking control of the capital, BBC correspondent Quentin Sommerville reports.

He described seeing eight armoured personnel carriers heading for Cairo University in Giza, where one of the main pro-Morsi demonstrations was being held.

The tens of thousands of anti-Morsi protesters on the streets of Cairo are now celebrating, with fireworks lighting up the night sky and car drivers honking their horns in excitement.

But Morsi supporters elsewhere in the city are reported to have shouted: "No to military rule.''

This is what every american needs to do.

We need o recall, all of our senators and congressmen
back to their home state and fire them all.

Then we need to march on the whitehouse and
physically remove obama the foreigner from office
and throw him in prison. Him and every government
employee that helped him.

If we sit around and do nothing for much longer,
we will no have any freedoms left and we will become
slaves to he government.

There is something of incredible importance hidden under the Sphinx. The right paw i have heard. What they (TPTW) are doing in Egypt, is to create a huge smoke screen. This is my opinion. Call me crazy. I have been called much worse.
