USA Today reports from Cairo at least 10 killed, hundreds wounded in Egypt today on the Muslim Brotherhood's (Ikwhan) "Day of Rejection" of the Egyptian military's removal of President Morsi from office this week after a popular uprising.

Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department admitted Secretary of State John Kerry was indeed on his yacht in Nantucket on Wednesday as the revolution in Egypt succeeded:

Then it sounds as though Rand says what the occasion suits, not what he really thinks! That’s even worse.

Raw: Cairo Building Burns As Violence Rages On
AssociatedPress
Published on Aug 16, 2013
Three floors of a commercial building in Egypt overlooking Cairo’s Ramses Square went up in flames. Violence erupted across the country after protesters took to the streets, responding to the Muslim Brotherhood’s call. (Aug. 16)
Thank you for your work on this thread (and elsewhere). It’s threads like these and posters like the ones on this thread that make FR the best place for news.
Hate to say it look like LA Downtown when 1992 riots broke out in LA
Just reading your various posts...thinking it’s strange as hell to see McCain and Paul, Cruz and Obama all supporting the MB for various reasons.
So the count so far is:
On the side of MB:
Obama
John McCain
Taliban
On the side of Egyptian military:
Everybody else..including Saudi Arabia AND Israel
Go figure...lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Not quite -— See MM’s 3602
Add this one to the MB: ——Gaza jihadists call for ‘jihad’ against Egypt’s el Sisi. Worth the read bec it is from LWJ.
More importantly, When globalist ElBaradei’s resigned, my antenae went up. Commented at the time that something smelled fishy.
1) Dumb & dumber’s Egypt visit and comments, then and later
2) ElBaradei resigns
3) Obama’s MV speech, smacking the knuckles of MB while sucker-punching the military
4) Dawoud’s resignation
5) The need to get Kerry, Rand Paul, and TED CRUZ??? on the same knock-the-military page.
Kerry certainly; Paul, maybe; but Cruz??? misinformed and unprepared is my guess. Is he on any Intel committees? Possibly someone scared the national-security daylights out of him.
Nevertheless, very disappointing. It’s his first big misstep, and a complete 180 in light of maggief’s find that was authored by Cruz not even 2 months ago.

Then there are these:
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan called on the UN Security Council and Arab League to take immediate steps to stop a “massacre” in Egypt, saying international silence had paved the way for the Egyptian authorities’ violent crackdown.
Qatar supporting MB
Merkel and French President Francois Hollande called for EU foreign ministers to meet next week to discuss the nature of the bloc’s ties with Cairo. “The chancellor explained that in view of the latest developments, the German government would review its relations with Egypt,” Merkel’s office said in a statement after the two leaders spoke by phone.
“She agreed with the President that the EU should also undertake a comprehensive review of its relations with Egypt.”
RESPONSE from EGYPT——Other news, Egyptian foreign minister is refusing the European “closed meeting about Egypt” he said to his French counterpart: we refuse internationalizing Egyptian internal affairs!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The above is merely what we know and observe. Imagine what may be going on behind the scenes. ($$$)
In short, it looks like world pressure is being exerted on the interim govt, Al Sisi and the military (heading to the UN?) -— with the end objective, I am certain, if not to fracture the current interim government, to unequivocally include MB in current govt and new elections.
Virtually no media are reporting the truth of these last many days. The truth is in this thread. The US refuses to see the MB for who they are and what they do (including what they are doing inside the US). Others (wink wink) in the US are downright complicit in the MB agenda at any cost.
And on the side of Egypt’s people and military?
Russia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Israel (although wisely silent) and .....???
Is everybody going to ask me put on my tinfoil hat?
Meanwhile, MB is genocidally and maniacally attacking Christians (and burning down as many churches and homes as they can get their hands on) and setting Cairo on fire (while gunning down firefighters and firetrucks).
And, Al Sisi won’t return US phone calls? ....Wonder why.
We are in the middle of a seismic event.
Thank you. Just glad to help.

Great post!
Seismic event is right!
Ah-hah. Thanks. Linking my comment and your reply together so I can find this again. It bears interest to see what others on that list have said, are saying, and will say.

Just this odd little thing I cam across, Egyptians insulting Obama.. (I think) I need a translator..

Egypt declares the MB a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION!
That means their organized structure and financing is illegal and they will never run again for office!
This puts 0b0z0 and his allies, Euros and RINOs, can’t support a terrorist organization per the documented atrocities perpetrated so far. It is important for CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES who support them to find a “good” way to support decapitating priests, killing and maiming Christians and above all, burning 22 churches in 24 hours, pretty efficient terrorism if I might add!
It’s your move, you lousy gutless supporters of terrorism. You’ll never be able to resuscitate the Ikhwan movement, ever, unless of course, we want them, let them thrive in our countries, fatten our necks and hand them sharp or dull knives, their choice.
Some other news:
- MB spies found in the ministry of interior. They reported the info to MB as to strength of police in targeted ones. You can imagine what other info about intended arrests, police raids, etc. clean up in aisle #1, the interior ministry!
- the police arrested many, a roomful that I saw, say 30-40 or more of foreign fighters. Euro looking oldies, Pakistanis, Afghanis, Syrians, Palestinians, etc. many didn’t speak Arabic or spoke it with Arab (NON-EGYPTIAN) accent!
Money bring in the riff raff! I suggest a non-Egyptian immediate accommodation of martyrdom as they must have wished. They changed the Egyptian nature of being the oldest civilization in the world, at least for a while, to deal sternly with the Mongol hordes that arrived on Egyptian n shores, ILLEGALLY, to shoot peaceful Egyptians.
Parade them in front of the world and ask the media to speak Arabic to them, maybe the light bulb will go on!
Thank you so much, and to Mel, and Maggie’s and all contributing here. The real news on Egypt. I lived and worked in Egypt for 3 years when the MB was in prison. I cannot believe these scenes on the bridge in Zamalek, Four Seasons on fire, Christian churches burning, anarchy by the MBS and America is so clueless. I am thankful the Saudis have spoken in favor of the military. When Mubarak was going down, I predicted that the military would be the only force that can stabilize Egypt.
"Hey guys -- nice day, huh?" ... "Having a great time, as always."

“Egypt declares the MB a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION!”
Has Obama designated any group as such?
“What me worry? I’m not paid to worry.”
“What, me work? I don’t even work when I work-—just like I don’t ever lead when I lead.”
“I have one talent....well two: Work the con and pay my peeps.”
“I’m the best snakeoil salesman since the era of snakeoil salesmen.”
I kept meaning to post this for you in case you hadn’t seen it. Drudge carried it, but I think it’s off now.
You & Pen will appreciate the guest list.

“Egypt declares the MB a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION!”
Perchance, do you have a link for that? Wondering about the ramifications outside of Egypt.
