The overthrow of Egypt's Morsi - a deep political tapestry

[Peter Lemkin]

The military is proposing to ban the MB. Officially cast as the 'terrorists' who can then be relied upon to do their bit to keep the Deep State going.

From my observation of events live today and failure of the Egyptian Govt. to prove there ever was a sniper in the minaret of the Al Fatah Mosque in which about 1000 frightened anti-coup demonstrators were trapped. The minaret has separate outside access and it was totally surrounded by troops, intelligence forces and govt. thugs. I think it was a false-flag event to allow the move Magda just posted above. While they CLAIMED ONE shot was fired at 'security forces' from the minaret and hundreds of rounds of heavy ammunition were shot at the windows in the minaret, no body of the sniper was produced and that would even have been easy to fake....they didn't even bother. IF there had been an anti-coup sniper in the minaret he had been there for well over 24 hours or had been let in by the coup itself, who had complete control over the tower and its entrance. I would also think SOP for the army would have been to put their own sniper or watchers in the minaret as soon as the siege of the main part of the mosque began. I don't 'buy' the Government version. Its Mubarak without Mubarak - and worse.

Former Egypt president Hosni Mubarak to be freed after being cleared in corruption case, lawyer says

Updated August 19, 2013 21:00:29


Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, who was overthrown in an uprising in 2011, will be released from jail within days after a prosecutor cleared him in a corruption case, his lawyer says.
Fareed El-Deeb has told Reuters news agency the judicial authorities had ordered Mubarak, 85, be released in one of the remaining corruption cases against him.
The only legal grounds for Mubarak's continued detention rests on another corruption case which will be cleared up later this week, Mr El-Deeb said.
"All we have left is a simple administrative procedure that should take no more than 48 hours," he said.
"He should be freed by the end of the week."
Mubarak still faces a retrial on charges of complicity in the murder of protesters during the 2011 revolt.
The security situation in the Sinai Peninsula has deteriorated since Mubarak was overthrown and has become significantly worse since the army ousted president Mohamed Morsi on July 3.
Hundreds of people have been killed in violence between militants and security forces.
