egypt protests 2

"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Nothin' ain't worth nothin' hon if it ain't free..."

Sandmonkey is a gutsy blogger in Egypt who I have been following for years. He pens a blog called "Rantings of a Sandmonkey." His blogroll includes Hyscience and Gateway Pundit. Ideological allies include The Cato Institute and the Atlas Foundation. His postings have drawn attention to himself- to the point that his is on the Ansar Al Sharia death list.

Yesterday he tweeted out an important message:

Dear World, pay attention: Muslims protesting in the millions against Islamism. This is Historic. #June30

Egyptians are protesting- against Islamism. By the millions. Here is a picture tweeted by Jon Williams

egypt protests

They are protesting the rule of Mohamed Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood- the very regime that is supported by Barack Obama.

Anti-government demonstrators in Egypt expressed anger and contempt for the Obama administration as they took to the streets on Sunday to demand the removal of Muslim Brotherhood-backed President Mohamed Morsi.

Millions of anti-Morsi activists were expected to gather today in historic Tahrir Square, the site of the same demonstrations that brought down former President Hosni Mubarak.

Violence is expected throughout the day as pro-democracy demonstrators clash with Muslim Brotherhood allies.

Seven people, including an American, have been killed so far in the clashes and hundreds more have been wounded, according to VOA.

The protesters are angry with Obama

The demonstrators maintain Morsi has become a power-hungry autocrat who is intent on making the Muslim Brotherhood Egypt’s permanent ruling party.

They also blame the Obama administration and U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson for propping up Morsi and facilitating the Muslim Brotherhood’s power grab.

“We are very critical of the Obama administration because they have been supporting the Brotherhood like no one has ever supported them,” Shadi Al Ghazali Harb, a 24-year-old member of Egypt’s Revolutionary Youth Coalition, told the Washington Free Beacon on Friday afternoon during a telephone interview from Cairo.

The White House is “the main supporter of the Brotherhood,” he said. “If it wasn’t for the American support this president would have fallen months ago.”

Al Ghazali Harb specifically dubbed Patterson “the first enemy of the revolution,” claiming “she is hated even more than Morsi.”

Activists hung pictures of Patterson with a red “X” drawn across her face at Egypt’s Defense Ministry during smaller protests Friday afternoon.

“She’s done a lot to harm our relations with the United States,” Al Ghazali Harb said.

kerry and morsi

Barack Obama has been a strong supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood- so much so that he directed Hillary Clinton to skirt the law is sending $1.5 billion in aid:

This year’s allocation of aid — more than $1.5 billion, with the bulk earmarked for the military — was withheld amid the country’s crackdown on pro-democracy groups, including several U.S.-based organizations with close ties to political parties in Washington.

A law passed by Congress in December forbids funding unless the State Department certifies that Egypt is making progress on basic democratic freedoms.

But Clinton will waive those restrictions on national security grounds, according to administration officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the decision because it has not been formally announced.

It's been argued that the money isn't directly earmarked for the Muslims Brotherhood but rather it's for the government that is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Obama has not accomplished one good or decent thing in the world. He’s done just the opposite-he spoils everything he touches.

He’s pure Evil and it shows.

The Saudis indirectly support the Muslim brotherhood. Obama bows to the Saudis.

The same geniuses who drove Mubarak out aren’t going to accept anyone good.

Ansar Al Sharia, now where have I heard *that* name recently? Oh, yes, *NOW* I remember. That is the group named in the recently spilled Lybian intelligence document, as being the group involved in the Benghazi debacle. Small world, isn't it?

Chaos, desired by Marxists and anarchists, allied with Islamism. What a backward, oppressive combination. They pulled the wool over the American public and got this guy, their hate-filled wind person of color toy elected, by hook and by crook. Half of America was brainwashed into a stupor as to what they were about to throw away, but it looks like Russians and Egyptians have awakened from their long stretch of fear of repressive power in their countries. They watched Americans throwing away their legacy. They know what made America great, even half of America lacked that curriculum for 40 years.

They're still pulling the wool over FReeper eyes today. This crowd is no more interested in freedom than they were last time around.

The same rabid animals they've always been.

For a pretty reliable clue as to how this is all going to end up, see ISAIAH 19

http://www.bibleontheweb.com/bible/KJV/Isaiah-19?highlight_verse=1#1

By the looks of things, like how Syria is about to fulfill Isaiah 17, I don’t think we’ll have long to wait before the old scrolls start unrolling before our eyes.

It’s no surprise that every nation mentioned by name in the Bible who God judges in the end times is a Muslim nation.
