Three Israeli planes landed at Cairo's Mina International Airport on Saturday carrying hazardous equipment for use in dispersing and suppressing large crowds.

The International Network for Rights and Development has claimed that Israeli logistical support has been sent to Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak to help his regime confront demonstrations demanding that he steps down as head of state. According to reports by the non-governmental organisation, three Israeli planes landed at Cairo's Mina International Airport on Saturday carrying hazardous equipment for use in dispersing and suppressing large crowds. In the statement circulated by the International Network, it was disclosed that Egyptian security forces received the complete cargoes on three Israeli planes which were, it is claimed, carrying an abundant supply of internationally proscribed gas to disperse unwanted crowds. If the reports are accurate, this suggests that the Egyptian regime is preparing for the worse in defence of its position, despite the country sinking into chaos.
On Sunday 30 January, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Israeli government ministers in a public statement saying: "Our efforts aim at the continued maintenance of stability and security in the region… and I remind you that peace between the Israeli establishment and Egypt has endured for over three decades… we currently strive to guarantee the continuity of these relations." Netanyahu added, "We are following the events unfolding in Egypt and the region with vigilance… and it is incumbent at this time that we show responsibility, self-restraint and maximum consideration for the situation… in the hope that the peaceful relations between the Israeli establishment and Egypt continue…"
The Israeli prime minister urged Israeli government ministers to refrain from making any additional statements to the media.

The political dynamic is such that if they use them Mubarak will be gone within 48 hours. I'd also add that the use of them further imperils Israel, which should have 'collapsed' from its own ill deed long ago...and I say this as a Jew. Peaceful co-existence with the Arabs and others who live in that area or get the f out! Look what was done to us in the Holocaust! Sadly [I can't tell you how is sears my heart] to see those who are the children and relatives of this horror to perpetrate it on yet another group, using invented excuses as to how it is 'different'...it is the ssame. It has a name - GENOCIDE.

Washington Post Confirms that Egyptian Looters Were Agents Provocateur



The Washington Post writes today:

Human Rights Watch confirmed several cases of undercover police loyal to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's regime committing acts of violence and looting in an attempt to stoke fear of instability as demonstrations grew stronger Tuesday against the autocratic leader.
Peter Bouckaert, the emergency director at Human Rights Watch, said hospitals confirmed that they received several wounded looters shot by the army carrying police identification cards. They also found several cases of looters and vandals in Cairo and Alexandria with police identification cards. He added that it was "unexplainable" that thousands of prisoners escaped from prisons over the weekend.
"Mubarak's mantra to his own people was that he was the guarantor of the nation's stability. It would make sense that he would want to send the message that without him, there is no safety," Bouckaert said.

This only confirms what we already knew about Mubarak's use of agents provocateur to carry out false flag disruptions.
Thank you, President Mubarak ... for educating the world about the concepts of agents provocateur and false flags disruptions.

Raising Egypt From the Dead

Well, the demonstrations/riots have spread. Regime change? Not so much. At least not yet. And maybe not at all, for quite a while. Not in Egypt nor in Morocco, nor Jordan, nor Syria, nor Algeria, nor Yemen. Heck, I like magical thinking as much as the next person, but when I see leaderless mobs composed of a thousand and one different political agendas, I don't see democracy.
Another thing I don't see is any willingness on the part of the Egyptian military to turn over control to the street. In the best case scenario the generals might try to work out some kind of power-sharing arrangement among four sets of players: themselves, the Muslim Brotherhood, a collection of some of the larger secular groups, and Egypt's economic elite. The worst case scenario I could imagine is that the generals send Mubarak packing merely to replace him with younger, more energetic officers. Regime decapitation instead of regime change. But the Egyptian government just collapsing, like in Tunisia? No, it ain't happening.

Regime continuity in one form or other has seemed and continues to seem the most likely outcome. The alternative, as I keep saying, is to organize an authentic democratic movement that represents a large majority of people, then force change through carefully planned non-violent action. But that ain't happening, either.
To think that just because lots of people are poor and oppressed you can start a Twitter revolution is to profoundly misunderstand the nature of social change. And as a heuristic exercise it's probably worth asking, after experiencing the current unrest how sympathetic will the Egyptian military be to civilian democracy building exercises tomorrow? How much more difficult might they make the achievement of real reform and how much longer, then, might they retain power?
Without the hard work of political organizing Egypt most likely will continue on its downward spiral. Eventually, indeed, the state must collapse. The result, however, won't be democracy, but anarchy.

You're right that the hard work of political organizing lies ahead, but a certain amount of chaos is inevitable. I doubt the embattled farmers on that rude bridge had worked out a plan for a bicameral legislature to protect slavery yet.
What I find incredibly stupid is the US government acting behind the scenes to promote some combination of Mubarak holdovers and the armed forces to insure that we end up with a government that serves US/Israeli interests. The fear-mongering in the media about the Muslim Brotherhood is clearly designed to get us ready to save Egyptian "stability".
I fail to understand why, given our obvious failed strategy in the Middle East, we can't simply sit by and let nature take its course. The UN might be able to help organize an election if the US and its allies stay well out of the picture, but what can be gained by US meddling at this point?

There was a moment when Mubarak didn't have to go. Then there was a moment when nothing could have enabled him to stay. Both moments passed.
It may be that his plan is to do nothing, just keep going on in the daily routine as though nothing is happening. Pictures of the new cabinet meeting, all in business uniforms, about to start the daily routine, not ordering the army to kill the protesters, collecting the garbage. Maybe Mubarak has been advised that if he does nothing (a nothing that is a doing) the protesters will get exhausted and the fire will just trail off, slowly die for lack of fuel. The thinking: If he doesn't respond, there can be no reaction to his non-response. It's a bad, snaky thought, but it's got me very worried. I thought yesterday (Monday) would be the day Mubarak left. And also the day ElBaradei made another move, instead of lapsing again into silence. I still think that with everything still shaking, one man it could still be ElBaradei could push it over the top, get rid of Mubarak and break Egypt free into newness and deliverance from bondage.

U.S. dispatches former Egypt envoy to Cairo

By the CNN Wire Staff
February 1, 2011 9:47 a.m. EST


A U.S. State Department official said Frank Wisner "knows some of the key players within the Egyptian government."

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Frank Wisner is a former U.S. ambassador to Egypt
  
• He is meeting with Egyptian officials
  
• Clinton regards the situation as "complex, very difficult"
  

Washington (CNN) -- The Obama administration has sent a former U.S. ambassador to Egypt to meet with officials there, a government official said Tuesday.
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said the United States asked Frank Wisner to go to Cairo.
"As someone with deep experience in the region, he is meeting with Egyptian officials and providing his assessment," Vietor said.
When asked Monday whether Wisner was a formal envoy, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley noted that "he's a private citizen" but "a retired diplomat."

Wisner "knows some of the key players within the Egyptian government," Crowley said, and officials thought it was "useful" for the former ambassador to interact with people within Egyptian society.
Crowley said Wisner arrived in Cairo Monday.
"We'll look forward to hearing his perspective," he told reporters at the daily briefing.
"This is an opportunity both for Ambassador Wisner, who has a history with some of these key figures, you know, to meet with them and reinforce what the president has said, what the secretary (Clinton) has said, at the same time has the opportunity to gain a perspective on what they're thinking and what their ideas are in terms of ... the process that we've clearly called for."
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton outlined the administration's stance in separate interviews Sunday with five television networks, saying the "complex, very difficult" situation in Egypt requires careful progress toward a peaceful transition to democracy rather than any sudden or violent change that could undermine the aspirations of the protesters.
"There's no easy answer," Clinton said on CNN's "State of the Union." "And, clearly, increasing chaos or even violence in the streets, prison breaks, which we've had reports about -- that is not the way to go.
"We want to see this peaceful uprising on the part of the Egyptian people to demand their rights to be responded to in a very clear, unambiguous way by the government, and then a process of national dialogue that will lead to the changes that the Egyptian people seek and that they deserve," she said.
On Monday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Egypt's government should engage in "meaningful negotiations with a broad section of civil society, including opposition groups," and hold "free and fair elections" in September.
The transition called for by Clinton "means change, and what we've advocated from the very beginning is that the way Egypt looks and operates must change," Gibbs told reporters.
At the same time, he said it is not the place of the United States to support or oppose the possible ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

A Million Egyptians at Tehrir Square Protest Leaders Have Scrubbed Plans to March To Palace Due to Rumors of Violence on Routes

Posted on February 1, 2011 by willyloman
UPDATE : Obama sends F. Wisner to Cairo former VP AIG, Board Mem. Enron, S. Envoy to Mafia gov. of Kosovo, linked to PSA (globalist think tank)
UPDATE : U.S. State Department ordered all non-emergency persons and citizens to leave Egypt.
UPDATE : Truckload of people with guns stopped on the way to the square.
UPDATE : Alan Dershowitz on ElBaradei and the Nazi-linked Muslim Brotherhood Huffington Post

"No one can confidently predict the (revolution's) outcome… There are models for good outcomes, bad outcomes, as well as for in-between results. The paradigmatic horrible outcome was, of course, the structural democratic election of 1932 in Germany which brought to office Adolf Hitler…
… (Elbaradei) is supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, and, in turn, he has said nice things about the Brotherhood.
… The Muslim Brotherhood is a violent, radical group with roots in Nazism and an uncompromising commitment to end the cold peace with Israel and replace it with a hot war of destruction…. ElBaradei is their perfect stalking horse."

UPDATE : King of Jordan dismisses entire cabinet due to protests there Washington Post

Jordan King dismisses government (2:53 p.m. EET | 7:53 a.m. EST)
After protests in Jordan, inspired by the unrest in the region, Jordan's King Abdullah dismissed the government and appointed Marouf Bakhit to replace the prime minister Samir Rifai, Reuters reports.

UPDATE: Israel is "shocked" by Obama's "betrayal" of Mubarak
UPDATE: 1:30 pm local time Al Jazeera just reported that the Egyptian Army has arrested "saboteurs and thugs infiltrating the demonstrations"

ElBaradei appeared via video to the protesters in the square urging them not to march to the palace for fear of how violence has been used against similar protests in the past.
UPDATE: The IMF is offering money to Egypt… looking to take advantage of yet another crisis, those IMF loansharks are looking to get the globalist leaders in Egypt to take out a loan, which will mean that the IMF can set their standard "reform" conditions on the money and lock in the people of that country to more debt servitude.
UPDATE: 1:00 pm local time rumors that Mubarak will step down tonight leaving CIA/state department linked Vice President Omar Suleiman to take power.
UPDATE: 12:30 pm local time. Sharif Kouddous, blogger in Tehrir Square, says that the protest leaders have decided to remain in Tehrir Square rather than marching to the presidential palace.
CONFIRMED by another reporter on Al Jazeera Looks like they have decided to scrub the march for fear of violence on the route.
Reporter said that they worried about state sponsored false flag attacks…

They might have discovered that something was indeed planned.

Army is searching people going into the square so they can verify there are no weapons. They seem to be surrounding those demonstrators, almost protecting them.
People are streaming into Tehrir Square.

There are reports from Egypt State TV, a rumor really, that stores have been broken into… and ARMY UNIFORMS have been stolen. Is this the government spin doctors creating a pretext just in case someone films something that will happen later?
Watch al Jazeera live
Hundreds of thousands have already shown up at Tehrir Square.
