Live Thread: Egypt Revolution 2.0
Various sources | Wednesday, July 3, 2013 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/03/2013 5:56:34 AM PDT by kristinn

The Egyptian army has set a deadline of 4 p.m. Cairo time for the Muslim Brotherhood government of President Morsi to compromise with the people of Egypt (by stepping down.) Morsi refuses. 18 people were killed and 200 were wounded in clashes at Cairo University last night.

A Washington Post report from Cairo on dueling statements from Morsi and the army:

Waving his hands and shaking his fists in a 45-minute speech on national television late Tuesday, Morsi swore that he was committed to the democratic process that brought him to power and said that any attempts to subvert the constitution were “unacceptable.”

The army, in turn, posted a message to its Facebook page saying: “We swear to God that we will sacrifice even our blood for Egypt and its people, to defend them against any terrorist, radical or fool.”

In his speech, Morsi acknowledged that he had made mistakes during his year in office as Egypt’s first democratically elected president. But he appealed to Egyptians to give him more time to deal with the country’s problems.

Military must act fast..
__________________________________
If they have Morsi under arrest, that is enough for now.

So the strategy is:
1. Huge outpouring and showing of citizen anger at the regime.
2. Military steps forward in response to citizen revolution.
3. Military shuts down regime's news outlets
4. Military arrests tyrant.
5. . . .

The first solid evidence that the military has stepped in will be when the state-run TV and radio stations make the announcement..and the military’s Facebook page is updated..

Never forget who started this mess.

Continue exposing the power Obama has provided the MB in our own government. Tomorrow's theme for Tea Party celebrations: Declaration of Independence vs salafists.

There are very simple apps that analyze satellite photos that can count any visible person in the frame by pixel analysis and movement.

FedGov knows exactly how many Egyptians are protesting, and a gag order is in place to hide it from the American public. The true numbers are in the tens of millions.

The largest protest in all recorded human history. Humans that are rejecting Islamic law that enslaves and impoverishes a population. No matter how much Obama supports the Muslim Brotherhood, an entire country refuses to succumb to his desires to propagate Islam in the region.

I hear you. The trial doesn’t make the Marxist look bad.

Is that the reason?

Barack Obama: “They want to take us back to the policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century.”

Zero doesn’t want us getting ideas from the Egyptians. He’d rather have a race war. They just keep pushing the envelope and one day it will drop!

… We have been very careful not to support either side—at least publicly.

Our US ambassador to Egypt has said comments that imply Morsi support, reason for the protest signs telling her to get out.

Egyptian activists angry over US envoy's comments

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian anti-government activists denounced the U.S. ambassador in Cairo Friday for a statement in which she criticized street protests as the opposition gears up for mass rallies to demand the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi.

The outrage mounted after Ambassador Anne Patterson said in a speech earlier this week that she is "deeply skeptical" that protests will be fruitful and defended U.S. relations with Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood as necessary because the group is part of the democratically elected Egyptian government.

Implied Threat to Cut Military Aid to Egypt if Morsi is Overthrown

The NEW attorney general filed for indicting Morsi and his beards responsibility for killing demonstrators in the past few days.

Accountability started already, no wonder Morsi would rather die.

Gallup just reported that 87% of Americans can identify Rachel Jeantel, but only 15% can tell you who Morsi is..
