    Egypt’s Social Crisis: Financial Bonanza for Wall Street Investors and Speculators Hidden Agenda behind Mubarak’s Decision Not to Resign?
    by Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, February 6, 2011
    Mubarak’s decision not to resign was taken in close consultation with Washington. The US administration including US intelligence had carefully identified the possible scenarios. If Washington had instructed Mubarak to step down, he would have obeyed forthright.

    Tunisia, Egypt ... Will the US Be Next?
    It is truly scary as an American to admit that the U.S. isn’t really a democratic society at all.

    As the Arab world fights, America sleeps
    by Larry Chin Global Research, February 5, 2011
    As people across the Arab world take to the streets to fight for democracy, and an end to oppression and tyranny, the oblivious, uninterested and acquiescent American public has done virtually nothing.
    The average American has not taken to the streets to join in solidarity. The vast majority of Americans are largely unaware of the cataclysmic events happening outside of the information bubble (…)

    Israel is generally a significant factor in events in the Middle East, and to understand ongoing happenings it is important to understand the historic and current Israeli connections.

    Minimally explored in all the coverage of the momentous Egyptian uprising taking place over the last 10 days are the Israeli connections.
    A central and critical reality is that it is US tax money (…)

    Police Brutality in the USA: Americans, Too Are Oppressed
    by Paul Craig Roberts Global Research, February 4, 2011
    Police in the US now rival criminals, and exceed terrorists, as the greatest threat to the American public. Rogelio Serrato is the latest case to be in the news of an innocent person murdered by the police. Serrato was the wrong man, but the Monterey County, California, SWAT team killed the 31-year old father of four and left the family home a charred ruin.
    The fact that (…)

    By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
    Right off the bat, I want to make myself clear, this is about American military veterans, the “heroes” that got all that “flag waving” when they were marched off to Afghanistan and Iraq, and 25 other countries we don’t admit to, for the past decade.
    Americans, after the last election, found their “conservative” (…)

    The Events in Egypt: A Cautionary Tale on the History of US Foreign Policy Tactics
    by William Blum Global Research, February 4, 2011 killinghope.org
    In July of 1975 I went to Portugal because in April of the previous year a bloodless military coup had brought down the US-supported 48-year fascist regime of Portugal, the world’s only remaining colonial power. This was followed by a program centered on nationalization of major industries, workers control, a minimum wage, land reform, and (…)

    For Mideast Regimes, U.S. Backing Means Absolute Power
    by Fadi Elsalameen Global Research, February 5, 2011
    America’s horses, Salam Fayyad and Mahmoud Abbas, I am sorry to say, have created an authoritarian police state that is actively suppressing people’s dissatisfaction with them.
    A wave of popular uprisings in the Middle East is sending a clear message to those in power − and those who aspire to be in power − in the Arab world. Together with the release of several sets of leaked (…)

    Egypt’s Revolution: US Imperialism Brought to Heel
    by Finian Cunningham Global Research, February 2, 2011
    With up to eight million Egyptian people defying nearly a week of military curfew in that country to insist implacably on the overthrow of the US-backed Mubarak regime, there can be little doubt that this is a people’s revolution. In this way alone, the people have succeeded already in defying bravely – over 300 have been killed by the regime in the past week – a brutal (…)

    CIA: Frank G. Wisner arrived in Cairo
    As the Egyptian revolt swells, the U.S. National Security Council considered that the handling of the situation by Margaret Scobey, their Ambassador in Cairo, was not good enough.
    Ms Scobey is a career diplomat with a significant track record in the Middle East, but lacks experience in secret operations. Without prejudging the future, she has spared no effort to meet with the greatest number of players and establish ties with all camps at the same (…)
