Thanks for your link. OK if I also post on the first Live Thread. This thread didn't get enough attention the first time it was posted. No doubt there were other threads at the time, but this is a needed and necessary reminder:

Reviewing 5pm CNN Situation Room with Blitzer. I haven't seen this anywhere. Blitzer read part of Leahy's statement:

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee [Blitzer noted that Leahy is ALSO "chairman of the Budget Subcommittee on the State Dept of Foreign Assistance"], said Wednesday the United States was required by law to cut aid to Egypt following a coups d’etat.

“The Morsi government has been a great disappointment to the people of Egypt, and to all who wish Egypt a successful transition to responsive, representative government under the rule of law,” he said in a statement. “He squandered an historic opportunity, preferring to govern by fiat rather than work with other political parties to do what is best for all Egyptians. Egypt’s military leaders say they have no intent or desire to govern, and I hope they make good on their promise.”

“In the meantime, our law is clear: U.S. aid is cut off when a democratically elected government is deposed by military coup or decree,” Leahy added. “As we work on the new budget, my committee also will review future aid to the Egyptian government as we wait for a clearer picture. As the world’s oldest democracy, this is a time to reaffirm our commitment to the principle that transfers of power should be by the ballot, not by force of arms.”

Senator Patrick Leahy: ‘Our law is clear,’ U.S. must cut off aid to Egypt

Those communist terrorists had better stay away from Egypt because the kids there are wide awake and very aware of 0b0z0’s shenanigans.

I just looked at the site....

With revolt and resistance breaking out across the globe we are pleased to confirm these new meetings:

Egypt, the Arab Spring and revolution today with Sameh Naguib from the Revolutionary Socialists of Egypt and Ghayath Naisse from Syria plus others
The Turkish Revolt with Ron Margulies, from the DSIP socialist organisation in Istanbul.
Alfredo Saad Filho and Brazilian socialist Henrique Sanchez on the recent explosions in Brazil
How should socialists organise? Panel debate with Gilbert Achcar, a founding signatory to Left Unity, Paul Le Blanc and others

Other key meetings at Marxism 2013:

Richard Boyd Barrett, Irish TD, People Before Profit will join Maria Stylou from Greece and Jesus Castillo from the Spanish State to discuss the Struggle against austerity in Europe.
Weyman Bennett speaking on After Woolwich: How do we stop the BNP and EDL?
A defining struggle: The Stephen Lawrence campaign 20 years on with Hassan Mahamdallie
Exposing the great police cover-ups : Orgreave, Hillsborough to today With Sheila Coleman from the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, speaker from the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign and lawyer.

The economic turmoil ripping through capitalism is matched by the crisis of ideas presented by those who rule over us. At Marxism 2013 socialists and activists will come together with some of the best speakers on the left internationally to explore the answers to the burning questions we face.

Can the revolutionary movements in the Arab world offer an alternative to capitalism? Is it possible to avert the coming climate catastrophe? What caused the economic meltdown and how could it end? Will the unions fight over austerity in Britain? What can we learn from the struggles of the past and how should we organise the fightback today?

Marxism 2013 will take place at a time of intense debate in the resistance to austerity and the fight against capitalism. Crucial arguments about both how the struggle can go forward and how to organise are being thrown up and new questions are being raised. Marxism 2013 aims to be a key arena for the debates and discussions on the left.

Come to Marxism 2013 and join the debate.
