The Revolution In Egypt is Not Allowed To Be Webcasted
Sunday, January 30, 2011
With some dubbing the revolution in Tunisia, which sparked large-scale uprisings against geriatric regimes across the middle east, "the first wikileaks revolution," or "the first blogger revolution," it has become apparent to the old corrupt elite that they must fight a war on information itself, for their own self preservation.
In Egypt, the former head of the air force, and 30 year dictator: Hosni Mubarak, has shut down virtually all forms of communication, including the internet, telephone, and all television stations not run by the government. Cairo has been on complete power blackout. Most transportation, minus official transport, appears to have been shut down nationwide. Mohammad El Bareidi, the Egyptian former Director of the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission, and outspoken advocate of change and progress in Egypt, has been placed under house arrest. Meanwhile the geriatric Mubarak has fired his entire cabinet, sardonically blaming Egypt's problems on them, rather than on himself.
For Egypt in my opinion this is it: The aging relic Mubarak has declared war on on his own country and especially on modern communications. He needs to be ousted now.
