Egypt's Reign of Terror

Egypt's Reign of Terrorby Stephen LendmanMark Twain once said history doesn't repeat. It rhymes. French history includes la Terreur (the Reign of Terror). Dickens called it the best and worst of times.It began in 1789. It promised "liberte, egalite and fraternite. It lasted a decade. It ended a millennium of monarchal rule. It was socially and politically disruptive. It was violent.The wrong people gained power. Jacobins initially were revolutionary moderates. They were patriots. They turned violent. Thousands were arrested. Civil liberties were suspended. Laws passed designating counter-revolutionaries state enemies. Undefined crimes against liberty were charged. Orwell called them "thoughtcrimes."Vigilante justice was imposed. Kangaroo tribunals pronounced guilt by accusation. Guillotine executions killed thousands. Promised liberte, egalite and fraternite was illusory.Today's Egypt reflects earlier times. Its elected president was ousted. Junta rule replaced him. It's repressive, ruthless, violent, unrelenting and unforgiving.Sweeping crackdowns continue. Muslim Brotherhood leaders are targeted. Hundreds were arrested. Others went underground. Everyone supporting MB is threatened. Police states operate that way.Throughout MB's 85 year history, it suffered repression, arrests, imprisonments and torture.It reinvented itself several times. It did so unsuccessfully. Popular opposition reflects justifiable criticism. Freedom and Justice (F&J) party rule featured neoliberal harshness. Progressive taxation legislation was gutted.F&J spurned a draft labor law. Passage would have guaranteed independent unionism. It promised free workplace elections.F&J officials replicated Mubarakism. It sided with business. It proposed strike regulations. The International Labor Organization blacklisted Egypt. It did so for spurning core labor rights.Morsi ignored court ordered stoppage of public enterprise privatizations. He planned doing so at fire sale prices. He spurned competitive bidding. His November constitutional declaration enraged large sectors of society. He was accused of "Brotherizing" Egypt. Ousting him reflected much more than misgovernance. Mubarak loyalists targeted him. They waged a destabilization campaign. They did so for months.Parliament was dissolved. Police refused to maintain public order. Courts acquitted former Mubarak officials. In May, Reporters Without Borders designated MB leaders predators of press freedom. It never targeted Mubarak the same way. State terror defined his rule. Constitutional rights were suspended. Emergency Law powers denied press freedom. They were widely detested.Sweeping arrests were made. Mass detentions followed. So did torture. No quarter was given. Iron fist rule was policy.So was guilt by accusation. Innocence was no defense. Military tribunals were farcical. Justice was systematically denied.Activists, dissidents, Islamists, and anyone perceived threatening authorities were vulnerable to persecution, arrest and imprisonment.Elections when held were shams. Death sentences were freely imposed. Freedom of speech, assembly and association were greatly compromised.Egyptians hoped Morsi offered change. He disappointed. He fell far short of expectations. Mubarak loyalists took full advantage. For months, Morsi was demonized. He was delegitimized. Criticism overreached. Anti-Morsi propaganda pilloried him. It far exceeded justifiable misgovernance claims.Opposition National Salvation Front (FSN) officials allied with Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) generals. They did so with other Mubarak loyalists.Ousting Morsi made things worse. Junta power terrorizes Egypt. State media ban independent journalists. Some television stations were shuttered.Interim leaders instituted a ministry of information. Controlling the message is prioritized. Opposition elements are terrorized.MB officials are prime targets. On August 20, Mohammed Badie was arrested. He's detained. He's MB's Supreme Guide spiritual leader. Since 2010, he headed Egypt's international MB organization. He was a member of its governing council since 1996.Badie's two top aides were arrested. Hundreds of MB officials and supporters are imprisoned. Egypt Interior Ministry confirmed Badie's detention, saying:"Carrying out the decisions of the public prosecutor to arrest and bring forward the 'general guide' of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, and through collected information and observation of movements, it was possible for the criminal search apparatus under the direction of Cairo's security (services) to arrest him."He's charged with inciting violence and murder. On August 25, he'll stand trial. So will his two top deputies. They face kangaroo court justice. Guilt's already pronounced.MB's Freedom and Justice Party said deputy leader Mahmoud Ezzat will replace Badie. He'll be temporary Supreme Guide.MB's official English web site IkhwanWeb headlined "Anti-Coup National Alliance Calls for Boycott Campaign in Preparation for Civil Disobedience.""The coalition of groups and movements defending democracy and constitutional legitimacy warns against dragging Egypt into civil war, urging a boycott of hostile military-controlled media and products made by all those who support the coup.""Egypt is passing through the most difficult and dangerous conditions in its thousands of years’ history, which threaten its stability and unity and push it into a deadly spiral of violence from which there is no way out."Security forces committed "heinous massacres. (T)he Egyptian people refused to succumb.""(S)ecurity forces and thugs went mad. (S)nipers fir(ed) live (rounds) into unarmed crowds."They did so from rooftops and police helicopters. They killed protesters in Abu Zaabal prison.They did it "after torturing and burning them with poisonous gases. "They "committ(ed) war crimes and crimes against humanity - crimes against the sons of their homeland."They "orchestrated a campaign of misinformation to demonize and dehumanize their opponents who still insisted on a return to legitimacy and rejection of the coup."State controlled media support it. So do private media controlled by "dubious businessmen.""They turned facts upside down, lied repeatedly, exposed their own lies, and even committed most reprehensible crimes against innocent Egyptians in order to cover up their earlier heinous crimes."MB calls for mass civil disobedience. It urges:boycotting regime supportive media;boycotting businesses providing support and financing;boycotting products from supportive countries;"(e)scalating civil disobedience activities gradually, according to circumstances and events.""You have only two options: submission or genocide.""But our will is strong. We shall continue our non-violent struggle for the restoration of full legitimacy."On August 20, The New York Times headlined "An Egypt Arrest, and a Brotherhood on the Run," saying:"Egypt's authoritarian government has harassed and repressed the Muslim Brotherhood for most of its existence." "But for the last three decades the authorities stopped short of touching the group's revered leader, the supreme guide, who oversaw the country's most effective social, political and religious organization despite its outlawed status."Badie's arrest changed things. Most MB leaders are imprisoned. Others are dead, missing or disappeared.Those still at large live on the run. "They change locations every 24 hours, avoid showing their faces at demonstrations or public places, and stay off cellphones for fear that they might be tracked." said The Times.An unnamed MB official said:"Asking about the structure of the organization now is like asking a dying man how his career is doing."Harsh crackdowns continue. They exceed the worst MB experienced throughout its history. It augurs greater repression ahead.Brute force controls Egypt. State terror is official policy. Longer term, millions of Egyptians support MB.They're not going away. MB official Gehad el-Haddad said crisis promises "a new tier of youth leaders."For now, things are disrupted. MB again needs to reinvent itself. It needs more than urging supporters to remain steadfast.Believing Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) generals wouldn't kill Egyptians proved wrong. According to one observer:SCAF head "Sisi is like a train now, and it will hit anyone and anything in its way. (T)he problem is that those people out there cheering for him don't understand that the train will get them next."One Morsi supporter spoke for others. MB must resist, he said. "It's now beyond 'the principle of obedience' and the group. (N)ow it's about all the blood that was shed."It's about an unacceptable imprisonment and torture alternative.A Final CommentOn August 17, London's Observer headlined "Only democracy can end Egypt's bloody crisis," saying:Egypt's on the brink. "For those who doubted the power of the country's post-revolutionary and unreformed 'deep state,' dominated...by the army, the judiciary and powerful economic interests backed by a servile state media, the events of the past week have been brutally instructive.""The murderous crackdown on the Brotherhood's protest sit-ins following a previous massacre of supporters of the deposed Morsi has left hundreds dead." Suggesting Morsi's ouster might restore democracy turns truth on its head. Reality is polar opposite. Horrific massacres define junta rule. So does sweeping state terror. "What is so dangerous right now is that neither side can conceivably triumph," said Observer editors."The Brotherhood is too big, too well entrenched in so many parts of Egyptian life that the notion that it can simply be stamped out is nonsensical." "It might be bloodily repressed, but it cannot be snuffed out." "The Egyptian military might believe that through excessive force it can return to the status quo ante of the Mubarak period, but the revolutionary dynamics have made that impossible."World leaders bear much responsibility. They let SCAF human rights continue with impunity. They continue military and economic aid. They say one thing. They do another. Policy belies their rhetoric."(T)he message that needs to be delivered urgently is that, without a rapid demilitarisation of Egypt's politics and withdrawal of the army from the political stage, Egypt's crisis is only likely to deepen, while a return to a peaceful democratic transition will bring tangible rewards not just for the self-interested elites but for all Egyptians.""That requires an inclusive and pluralistic political process that includes all sides, including the Muslim Brotherhood, a release of political prisoners, including that organisation's leadership, and the ending of a culture of impunity for acts of violence."It requires world leaders to rethink their "muddled, disengaged and dangerous policy on Egypt that has flip-flopped wildly." "It is all the more urgent because the alternative is a steep and violent descent into ever worse bloodshed."Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago.

Senior Pakistan official admits to presence of Dawood Ibrahim - India

10 Aug 2013Senior Pakistan official admits to presence of Dawood Ibrahim, then does a U-turn Dr Sanjay Kumar Cardiac Cardiothoracic Heart Surgeon India Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim (File pic)London: For the very first time, a senior Pakistani official admitted on Friday the presence of India's Most Wanted, underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, on their soil."Dawood (Ibrahim) was in Pakistan but I believe he was chased out of Pakistan. If he is in Pakistan, he should be hounded and arrested. We cannot allow such gangsters to operate from the country," Shahryar Khan, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's special envoy for improving relations with India, had said. But perhaps, worried about the ramifications, Mr Khan downplayed his statement just hours later. Dr Sanjay Kumar Cardiac Cardiothoracic Heart Surgeon India "I have never, not in the past as foreign secretary, not now, have known where Mr Ibrahim lives. I was only reflecting what the Pakistani press has been saying. I have no knowledge nor is it my remit," he told NDTV in London. Pakistan till now has denied the presence of Dawood on its soil, though Indian security agencies have repeatedly mentioned his name and details in dossiers handed over to Pakistani authorities.  According to reports, Dawood was based in Karachi, where he had fled after the 1993 Mumbai bombings in which 257 people were killed and over 700 injured. Dawood is also wanted in numerous other terror and criminal cases in India. In 2003, the US government had designated him as a "Foreign Terrorist". According to the chargesheet filed in the Indian Premier League spot-fixing case, Dawood was in Pakistan at least till late April. The Delhi Police had intercepted telephonic conversations between Dawood, his close aide Chota Shakeel and others in Dubai which show his location was in Pakistan. In the chargesheet, the Delhi Police had attached a list of addresses suspected to be used by Dawood. In Karachi - Moin Palace in Clifton and 6/A, Khyban Tanzeem in defence housing area. In Islamabad, he is believed to have stayed in a house on Margella Road.  Syed Akbaruddin, Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs said India has never closed the 1993 blasts case and now, with this information, the government will not rest until those responsible for the killings of Indian citizens in the attack are brought to justice. This comes at a time when foreign policy experts are redefining redlines with Pakistan and talks between Prime Ministers of the two nations are under the cloud after the killing of five Indian jawans at the Line of Control earlier this month.

Federer, Murray, Nadal in same half of Wimbledon

Roger Federer faces a tough road to another Wimbledon final after draw threw Rafa Nadal and home favorite Andy Murray into the champion's path and cleared the way for world number one Novak Djokovic.The third seed could face Spaniard Nadal, seeded only fifth to reflect his current ranking, in what would likely be an epic quarter-final on the grass of southwest London.Federer and Nadal, the big danger in the draw, played three finals in 2006, 2007 and 2008.If the Swiss seven-times winner gets through the quarter-final, he faces a potential clash with last year's finalist Murray in the semi-finals.World number one Novak Djokovic would be on course to face seventh seed Tomas Berdych in the quarter-finals but will avoid any of his three main rivals until the final.The draw is certainly a tough one for Federer, who has recently struggled but rallied to victory in Halle, Germany, in his favorite warm-up for Wimbledon. Four of Federer's seven wins at Wimbledon came after he lifted the trophy in Halle.Federer, Nadal and Murray will all play opening day on Monday at Wimbledon.Federer will open the defense of his title against Victor Hanescu of Romania, while Nadal will take on Steve Darcis of Belgium and Murray plays Benjamin Becker of Germany, an opponent he beat last week at the Queen's Club.Djokovic, who won Wimbledon two years ago, will start on Tuesday against Florian Mayer of Germany. He is guaranteed to keep the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings after the tournament whatever the result he achieves.There are several noteworthy first-round matchups in the draw, with former champion Lleyton Hewitt facing No. 11 Stanislas Wawrinka; No.21 Sam Querrey against Bernard Tomic; and No. 10 Marin Cilic playing Marcos Baghdatis.Roger Federer's possible opponents: Round 1 : Victor Hănescu Round 2 : Sergiy Stakhovsky Round 3 : Lukas Rosol / Jurgen Melzer / Fabio Fognini Round 4 : Nicolás Almagro / Jerzy Janowicz / Radek Stepanek QF : Rafael Nadal / Stanislas Wawrinka / John Isner Semi Final : Jo-Wilfred Tsonga / Andy Murray Final : Novak Djokovic / David FerrerDate: 21st June 2013, Source: Reuters

Lohan wants out: Lindsay Lohan wants to leave Betty Ford because of drug ban

Lohan wants out: Lindsay Lohan wants to leave Betty Ford because of drug ban, Lohan has made sure to point out that she has a prescription and that she takes her Aderrall for ADHD -- she probably wants the public to know that she doesn’t abuse it to lose weight like some celebrities do. However, those pesky doctors at The Betty Ford Center believe in using drugs to treat ADHD that aren’t addictive like Adderall, and they probably aren't so sure that Lindsay just takes the drug for her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.Unfortunately Lindsay is a very spoiled celeb -- the amount of jail time she’s served and and her trips to rehab are just slaps on the wrist when you look at how much trouble she’s gotten in over the years. Since she always gets off easy, of course she’s going to think that she can do whatever she wants in rehab. But surely the judge will have something to say after learning that Lindsay Lohan wants out of one of the best rehab treatment centers in the country. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Dabney is the man responsible for ordering the actress to attend 90-days of locked-down rehab, and of course he wants the actress to take her treatment seriously so he never has to see her in his court again. However, it sounds like Lindsay thinks that her stay at Betty Ford is nothing but a joke.Lindsay recently told Piers Morgan this about rehab: “I could write the book on rehab. Constantly sending me to rehab is pointless. The first few times I was court-ordered to rehab it was like a joke, like killing time.” So even if Lohan is forced to give up her Adderall while she spends 90 days at Betty Ford, it sounds like rehab is going to do her no good yet again. She’ll just pout the whole time and go right back to partying and getting in trouble once she gets out.Sometimes people have to hit rock bottom before they decide to really turn their lives back around, and Lindsay just isn’t there yet. Even though she keeps getting into trouble and is rumored to be a nightmare to work with, she keeps scoring jobs, and she’s never punished severely enough for her crimes. Because of this she seems to think that she can always get off easy and that the rules that everyone else has to abide by don’t apply to her. It also doesn't help that celebrities are able to surrounding themselves with the worst enablers out there -- some pretty horrible people are attracted to fame, and they'll do and say whatever they have to in order to spend time with a celebrity. So it's really no shock that Lindsay thinks that she can get away with continuing to take an addictive drug while she’s in rehab.

X-51A Waverider Scramjet Hits Hypersonic Speed Of Mach 5.1

The U.S. military launched an experimental hypersonic aircraft on its swan song test flight Wednesday (May 1), accelerating the craft to more than five times the speed of sound in the longest-ever mission for a vehicle of its kind.The Air Force's X-51A Waverider reached a top speed of Mach 5.1 during the test flight, traveling more than 230 nautical miles in just over six minutes before crashing into the Pacific Ocean off the California coast as planned, Air Force officials announced today (May 3).Wednesday's flight used the last of four X-51A vehicles built by Boeing for the Air Force experiments. While the previous test, in August 2012, was a failure, Wednesday's mission pulled off the longest air-breathing hypersonic flight ever, officials said. [See Video of the X-51A's Final Flight]"It was a full mission success," Charlie Brink, X-51A program manager for the Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate, said in a statement.Read Full Article - Huffington Post

Another round of Virtual NFL Draft.

With only 2 days before the upcoming NFL Draft, I decided to play the Virtual NFL Draft game again (http://first-pick.com/NFL/DraftGame.aspx). Of course I play the role of Les Snead and here are my picksSt. Louis Rams 2013 draft Round 1 Pick 21 (from CINN): Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia (A)Round 1 Pick 22: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama (A)Round 2 Pick 5 (from CINN): Jonathan Cyprien, SS, Florida International (A)Round 2 Pick 22 (MIA): Arthur Brown, OLB, Kansas State (B)Round 3 Pick 5 (PHI): D.J. Swearinger, FS, South Carolina (B)Round 3 Pick 16: Quinton Patton, WR, Louisiana Tech (A)Round 4 Pick 16: Brian Schwenke, C, California (A)Round 5 Pick 3 (PHI): Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina (A)Round 5 Pick 16: Terry Hawthorne, CB, Illinois (B-)Round 6 Pick 16: Bennie Logan, DT, LSU (A)Round 7 Pick 16: Joseph Fauria, TE, UCLA (B-)Overall:First round was far out as other teams dish out trades and what not I was glade to trade down but still get Tavon Austin AND Chance Warmack. The trade down also got me an early 2nd and 5th round picks to which I used to pick SS Jonathan Cyprien then trade do another trade down to get an extra early 3rd round pick. Based on the system rankings I placed 7th out of 32 which is good in my book. I could had been better had I picked DeAndre Hopkins on the Round3 pick 5 then D.J Swearinger on the 16th pick but I was afraid I might lose him early so I decided on Quinton Patton instead.
