These are the fruits of a blind and empty Arab uprising which is based on dubious religious fundamentalism.These Arab thugs think that they can lead the country through street games.Infact the military leadership in Egypt should not accept such anarchy.

Empire democracy --- Dictatorship by the 51% most wealthy   My laboring class in Empire USA, we are the 49% of society with no education but some high school, which means that we all earn minimum wage and suffer poverty.  Which means that the 51% most educated and wealthy have all the wealth, for they all have great jobs, terrific homes and deluxe healthcare.

If Israel wants us to "report" on this we will do it using hundreds of staff....otherwise there will be complete news blackout.

It will be very interesting to see how the American Empire reacts to the ongoing revolution in Egypt.

It does not take a brain surgeon to work out that the "civilians" are government forces in plain clothes .This is a tried and trusted method=used by the USA firstly in South America and evermore since .Why not ? It worked every time since in the countries that the US invaded and then when the country was "US friendly" Plain cloth gangs went round slaughtering men woman and children and babies=well documented=To "keep the inhabitants under control(OF AMERICA).The South  American countries have now "woken up" and see the US for what it really is a government that would put the MAFIA to shame.And are now resisting "I speak with "forked tongue" Again and again I have watched documentaries of what is happening in Indian "reservations Its not nice .One Indian Chief when the doc was finished gave an "arm sign"as to the way they are being treated,nothing changes

This problem is pervasive thru out  the world - Military control of the democratic process.  Dancarlin.com hardcore history Death throes of the Roman Empire explains exactly what happened in ancient Rome when Julius Ceasar decided that he didn't need no stinkin consensus anymore.  He had the troops so he took over and the rest is history.  This is corruption of democracy is most poiniently illustrated in the US.  We have a military who is in complete control of the media who then control the  politicians.  There are only a handful of representative in the US that actually represent their districts.  The rest are under complete control of the military media complex.

30% most wealthy --- Love their generals   Surely Mubarak was put into office by the rich ruling class, the 30% most wealthy, and a monopoly will they always have on the voting process so long as the people remain divided, self-absorbed and self-centered.

 Parliament in Egypt --- Demands government be sacked   Press TV just reported that Egyptian parliament just called a one week strike to demand that the entire government be sacked.    Lots of luck and lots of laughs.  For a U.S. funded and most deadly military in Egypt has a monopoly on the use of force and violence, and only a real Revolution with streets covered with blood will change anything.
