A lot of my dear American friends sill ask me what on earth really happened in egypt, for their benefit, and anyone else on earth genuinely trying to make heads or tails of us "crazy Egyptians" ; here's exactly what happened in egypt over the past 12 months, but expressed in 'American" terms...

There are no exaggerations or lies, these events all took place:

On June 30th 2012, democratically elected Barack Obama wins the election with 51.7%, takes the oath, and is sworn in as president of the United States.

First five months of his term go relatively smoothly, where he makes almost no decisions (except for some dubious presidential pardons to a dozen convicted terrorists, including some convicted for their part in the assassination of a former US President).

Suddenly, on November 21st 2012, president Obama issues a presidential decree giving himself sweeping powers, to the extent that his future decrees become un-contestable in any court, in effect his decisions henceforth are akin to the word of God.

His laws a new Bible...

An amazing chronicle of actual events in Egypt but reported as if they happened in America. Rush Limbaugh covered this in his first hour today.

A MUST READ.

This one didn't translate for me:

"Oh, and president Obama also outlines his new plans to lease the entire Silicon Valley area to China for 50 years (with full administrative control)... "

Any ideas?

I think China got the contract to run Egypt’s hyrdoelectric program

I believe it is related to the Suez Canal

The bad thing is it’s not *that* far off.

This article puts Morsi into perspective. A real failure to govern.

ping-worthy

This explains a great deal. Good article and one that explains why the people and army deposed the president.

Another RANT on Egypt.

Only thing she gets wrong is that this:

A month later he annuls the US Constitution and forms a 'constitutional committee' to draft a new constitution (committee includes no Republicans or Independents, no Moslems or Jews, and only a handful of women.. And is composed primarily of Democrats & religious preachers)

Here the author gets it wrong, it would definitely include Mozlems and females, likely homosexual ones Any "religious preachers" would be Mozlem, ultra leftist idiots or NOI...

[Thane_Banquo]

Obama is reading this thinking, “Man, these are some GREAT ideas!”

Yeah, a “gee, I wish I could do that” thought.

Hi,
I’m the author of the article (the analogy between Egypt & the USA), and would be happy to explain the “Silicon Valley” analogy.
A few weeks before he was ousted, news leaked about a deal being struck in total secrecy between ex-president Morsi (and his party, the Moslem Brotherhood) and the nation of Qatar.

Details that leaked showed Qatar would pay lots of money to get the concession to fully operate Egypt’s Suez Canal Zone for 50 years.
So far so good, but what terrified most Egyptians was that the deal included FULL ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL over the Canal and the zone...

In effect, Qatar would RULE over a key part of Egypt with full jurisdiction and not under the authority of the Egyptian state!

Hence, I thought the Silicon Valley would perhaps be of similar magnitude to Americans...
Hope this helped :)
Cheers

I’m scratching my head trying to figure out a motive that doesn’t involve financial playoffs for a lot of Egyptian politicians.

Thank you for the analogy ... any updates on the situation for us?

This administration got it wrong in Honduras and now again in Egypt.

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.
