STATEMENT OF
THE EGYPTIAN ARMED FORCES
Monday 1st July 2013 at 19;57 ......
________________________
In light of what has been allegedly repeated by some people in mass media, seeking to interpret the statement of the General Command of the Armed Forces as “a military coup”, the military establishment would like to highlight the following:
- The doctrine and culture of the Armed Forces do not allow the adoption of any “military-coup-based” policies.... The Egyptian military took to the streets in several events in 1977, 1986, and 2011, and there was no coup.... In stead, the Egyptian military always stands by the will and aspirations of the glorious Egyptian people for change and reform.
- The aim of the Armed Forces’ statement is to push all political parties nationwide to quickly find solutions for the current crisis and reach a formula of national compromise that complies with the demands of the Egyptian people.
- In addition, we stress that the statement of the General Command of the Armed Forces comes out as an interaction with the pulse of the Egyptian street.... The statement points out clearly that the Armed Forces will never be a party in politics or ruling, and will not accept any role beyond that drawn up in the genuine democratic ideology driven from the will of the people.
Mornin’ all,
Here’s what I learned about events and news in Egypt:
The “grand” gathering of the MB in the Rabaa el Adawiya location was/is a fake! Many of the demonstrators were brought by busses from villages around Cairo. They’re mostly teenagers who got paid by the abundant Qatari money that poured to steal the previous election and in support of Morsi and his MB government.
Apparently, the deal was to demonstrate against the anti-Morsi faction and prevent them from having the Egyptian and world stage alone by showing the “large” force supporting Morsi. However, events turned in the opposite direction and took Morsi down.
Motorists who are driving around the Rabaa area reported many of the MB-acquired demonstrators are banging on windows and trying to stop the cars. The youth were pleading with the motorists for help to get them out Rabaa. The kids complained that they have no idea where they are, don’t have maps and don’t even know why THE ARE FORCED TO STAY IN RABAA!
The teenagers and young adults said that every time some of them tried to leave the site they were met by armed MB thugs who beat them up and drove them back to the site of the MB demonstration.
To be continued....
Continued GOOD NEWS from #845.......
Yesterday, sometime during the day, Safwat Hegazy** was addressing the “crowds” in Rabaa through a bullhorn! Apparently, their audio contractors left! The “crowds” reaction that I heard was coming from no more than “tens” of people, probably his own staff and guards if he still had any.
This “address” was all about his own defense against a warrant for his and other MB leaders arrest. He proceeded:
“I and others may not be with you soon. Whether we’re not with you because of death or jail or what have you [going underground] doesn’t really matter. They [the authorities] say that we’re your leaders [ten people cheer] , we are not your leaders, you’re OUR LEADERS. They say that we tell you what to do [”incite you,”ten people cheer] , we do what YOU TELL US TO DO. You don’t follow us, WE FOLLOW YOU! [no cheers!]
Conclusion:
1- It’s a “Bush’s fault” speech. The MB leaders are proven cowards and started by holding paid crowds hostage.
2- “I didn’t do nottin’, a Lois-Lehrner-denial, this time for the MB leaders coming trials, if caught alive. I suspect the cowards will NOT MARTYR THEMSELVES. this fate is only reserved for the brainwashed and/or paid kids.
3- The MB SUPPORT is disappearing exponentially fast due to:
a- Lack of real conviction and/or that the made-up crowds found out, like many Egyptians, that they were lied to all the way.
b- Dried-up Qatari funds due to change of sympathy from the new Qatari Interior Minister, the fast demise of the MB and the Egyptian government stopping dollar-full suit cases in airports.
**Safwat Hegazy’s most outrageous calls to violence before June 30:
“IF YOU SPRAY US WITH WATER, WE WILL SPRAY YOU WITH BLOOD,”
To be continued.....
Yeah, RIGHT! What beasts.
Continued BETTER NEWS from #846:
From a repeated interview of rebels on Own TV late last night (our time):
The young rebels, two guys and a gal, were interviewed. Here’s the summary of their plans in the near future:
Their demands of no inclusion of ANY Islamists in the government will HAVE TO BE MET. The nixing of el Bradei and Bhaa el Din for prime ministers was a proof of the Islamist Nour Party putting sticks in the wheels to delay and obstruct forming a new government.*** They said that the army declaration of “asking” all to move on with no further delays because of national security IS AGREEING with the rebel demands to protect the gains of June 30, 2013 continuing from the Jan 25, 2011 revolution.
A bombshell was dropped during the conversation; the Nour Party was meeting secretly with the American government personnel to offer them their services by REPLACING THE MB! They also approached other foreign governments for support, I suspect Qatar and others.
The interview ended by the three reiterating their firm stand on all the people’s demands until they are fully met through the new elections, the new parliamentary elections and referendum on the NEW CONSTITUTION (the suggestion is that the Islamist constitution will be deleted and the 1971 constitution would be reinstated with minor modifications) are completed.
The rebels aren’t going away anytime soon and will monitor the progress of complying with the people’s demands is completed no matter how long it’ll take.
I suspect that elections and referendum cheating will be minimized, primarily for lack of foreign financial interference.
Prayers for the youngsters’ protection from Islamists in the UK and the WH and for a successful trip that will show that people in their twenties can indeed be leaders you can count on.
***The discussion about the Nour Party’s backstabbing the MB was in an earlier program (later actual time past the repeated original program with the rebels.) The guest said that the Nour party did nothing but lying to the army and the rebels and pledging support while sending their youth to support the MB in Rabaa with no Nour leaders to be seen anywhere!
The guest asked the Nour Party and answered his own questions:
- do you have one single CHRISTIAN COPT in your party? Nope.
- do you have one single WOMAN in your party? Nope.
- do you have one single CLEAN SHAVEN MAN in your party? Nope.
He addressed the anchor: with all this nice talks about inclusion, tell me how can you include a party that doesn’t include anyone but beards?
Sorry, maybe too long a post but couldn’t split the subject in two.
No “legal” Islamist political parties going forward! Glad my tag line applies!
A part of chosen rebel leaders will travel to London on Sunday to meet with the British government and later continue to Washington to meet with the Americans!
Excellent and many, many thanks for your reporting.
As we know the “Nour Party” IS (indirectly) Muslim Brotherhood...they float where they can be effective politically by remaining the minority in governance... without stating their affiliation with the Brotherhood...thus they can “appear” moderate and liberal.
They are a “sticky” bunch of characters and not to be trusted as their ultimate agenda is still Shariah Law, they just play their hand in a more deceitful manner.
Going be interesting Friday after prayers
My gosh the whole city came out opposing Morsi and his thuggery....and just as much made it clear they did not want Obama's nose sticking in their business....and opposed him equally as much for supporting terrorists all over the world. This just shows again...that there are poweres that be who don't care one iotta what the people want..."they" are on their march and not about to let "people" stand in their way.
No doubt "thuggery" is happening behind the scene to force this.
Muslim Brotherhood still doing sit-in ..HANGING AROUND
