What's going on in the Middle East?

What do you all think - are these changes going to be good or bad for the people of the middle east.  

Will muslim extremests fill the void in Egypt?  Is that what the people of Egypt want?  How can the U.S. respond of they elect an extremist government in September?

I'm confused about it, and it seems like our government is also confused.

Psst! Wanna know what’s more

Psst!
Wanna know what’s more important to the Middle East than oil? WATER

Oh man this keeps getting more and more grim by the day for ol’Amerrika. Vast oil reserves, now unlimited fresh water and democratic moves by people long oppressed and abused by the west.

Bluegrass He is correct you

Bluegrass

He is correct you need to be careful, as you’re beginning to actually ask questions, which is good, because it shows you’re at least listening and could be the beginning of a journey down enlightenment lane.

“Cahoots”? Probably the best term one could use in this case, as the Egyptian military is not only supplied with our weapons that you pay for with your tax dollars through the 1.5 billion dollars a year in Egyptian aid, but they are trained, assisted in nearly every conceivable manner and internally structured by our Penta people.

This is why Mubarak was kept in power by us and his military for so many years, it was the perfect solution, a brutal dictator who kept everyone in place (just like our other once favorite hired thug, Saddam Hussein) and could be checked by our internal military design. In return the Egyptians protected the Israeli border like any soldier of fortune would, even closing its border to their own brethren on the other side who were begging for food and medicine.

Everyone in the world knows of Mubaraks place, except the American people who are kept in the dark by a controlled media. Policies and practices that is the very rood in much of the frustration and anger directed towards us. This is why the regressives want to cut PBS and NPR funding, because it about the only “public” system that still disseminates such information on a national level through consistant overseas reporting and re-broadcasts by the BBC.

There is no “shift” in power in Egypt, as the Military Supreme Council has always had the control. They provided a cover for themselves in the illusion of a legitimate figurehead who had created a brutal police state that crushed any and all opposition voices to the acceptance of numerous Presidencies.

But they did not create the current uprising. That was a spontaneous event driven by a society where nearly half the population is under 30, a majority who are college educated and tech savy, who had enough of the lies and corruption created by the United States.

However, the aftermath is all Penta related, as the military structured, trained, and to this day consulted by our own, deftly made the decision to be cool. Let them spray paint the sides of their armored vehicles and paint fences with the protesters, what better way for a phyops plan to come together and see the military machine kept in place.

An event triggered by one man in another country who set himself on fire in protest, which brings up an even more interesting point that I just thought of.

Much of the Middle East is controlled by Sunni’s, supported and trained by the United States, Sunnis who are bitter rivals of the Shia and discriminate against Shia under their rule.

Countries such as Iran who have never attacked another country and probably never will because they are predominately Shia, whose religion is all about sacrifice through martyrdom, are these events powered by someone who set himself on fire and therefore “sacrificed” himself for his belief?

The most powerful of symbolry, is the traditional sacrifice for ones country and is significant, but sacrifice for one’s religion and therefore country is even more profound as there is no distinction between the soil of the country and the Muslim religion.

Which is why Muslims are so incensed at our presences, since boots on the ground in their country is paramount to peeing on the Pope. And why they shake shoes at those they hate.

When Kennedy was betrayed by the CIA and Military leaders who had leaked and then knew that the Bay Of Pigs operation was known by the Russians and therefore Castro, he never trusted nor consulted closely with them again. Probably much to his demise - well that and the fact that he tried to bypass the bankers, just like the three other Presidents who got shot did.

Today we give more money to our Penta People than all the other countries combined, nearly a trillion dollars a year that supports nearly a thousand military installations world wide. A massive industrialized black hole, where over 40% of all programs are not audited or oversaw by civilians.

It is a means unto itself, a power unto its own with no one watching or looking and a division whose sole purpose is perception control. I don’t know about you, but it’s a given that the President is in no way fully informed nor will be. Especially since the new model of world control is now in the hands of the few, who just proved that political systems are easily trumped though publicly encouraged military control.

Come on, Obama has been on notice since the beginning. He was not sworn in through an obvious inaugural gaff by the Chief Justice, a public spanking initiation, intended to send the message that “you are not in charge”. A swearing in, delayed until nearly a half hour later in private, when a bible was not used because they never are in Illuminati pageantry.

So you tell me whose in charge these days?

"Recent history is the record

"Recent history is the record of a vast conspiracy to impose one level of mechanical consciousness on mankind." -- Allen Ginsberg

I mean no disrespect in what I’m about to say and although it’s a continual reoccurring theme in these pages it has to be said again, since this is the perfect example of what we’ve been trying to get people to understand.

If you rely solely upon mainstream media to understand today’s unfolding events, then you will always be uniformed, because that is the purpose of today’s controlled media.

From this nations continued involvement in drug trafficking either by direct means or covert operations that keeps the regressives crying for more unfettered law enforcement and reduced liberties here at home...

To the ever increasing powers of a dictatorial government, whose sole purpose is the domination and control of the world and its people through the power of The Beast. Total 7/24 monitoring that has marked us all and which now awaits for the Sans Savior who will use its power against the multitudes. All is a plan coming together nicely.

The Egyptian affair is just the beginning of what can be done on a massive scale in manipulating and controlling the masses.

First you have the funding, support and currying of a brutal dictatorship, known for its abuse, torture and killing of not only its own people, but those that were sent to them for interrogation. Blood that is a stain on the hands of the American people and a curse to our future, because in a culture where you have revered family trees that go back to Adam and Eve, your memory tends to be long and vengeance a forever time honor tradition.

Over the last century, this is a typical pattern in American history, where we put in place and support brutal dictatorships for our own interest. In this case, our primary interest is in maintaining the ever growing land acquiring, US technology owner and manger, nuclear weapons nation with ties to most of the western world’s banks, a country to which we have given billions in aid - Israel.

During the height of the Egyptian protests when Israel shipped in several plane loads of supplies intended for crowd control, it became very clear who was most at risk in the uprising and what had to be done. Because the Egyptian guarding of Israel must be maintained at all cost.

Secondly, you need to know a couple of things about the Egyptian military. It is and will probably remain a favorite of this nations military industrial complex. Egyptian military ties to our military is hand-in-glove and our Penta people are always ready, willing and able to assist the Egyptian military in any way it can.

It goes without saying that the Pentagon’s psychology operations unit was working overtime in the recent Egyptian protests and the Pentagram people were more than likely instrumental in the removal of the Egyptian President. Which is probably why the US Presidency seemed so confused through all of this, since the military has become a force unto its own, with countless billion dollar programs never audited or monitored.

Also, you must understand that the Egyptian strikes were hurting the Egyptian military in a deep and profound way, since much of Egypt’s industry is owned by the military and its generals. So when people aren’t buying washers and dryers because they’re protesting in the streets, somebody has to go, in order to get the cash once again flowing into the pockets of the Generals and their personnel.

So what we’ve probably witnessed in all of this is a new paradigm in social manipulation. Wherein, the military is elevated to the pinnacle of social consciousness, a perceived force for good - sound familiar? This allows the military to make the government and its institutions conveniently disposable social constructs.

It’s a simple design, you let the people thrash about, throwing themselves at the bulwark of governmental institutions until they wear themselves out, then step in and provide the calm hand of a more organized and disciplined guidance. A world that seems somehow quiet and calm, an oasis from the tumultuous storm called politics.

True democracy in the Middle East would be a huge blow to the American consumption model and would devastate our ability to manipulate the region. So what’s the Illuminati who gather at places like The Grove and worship Lucifer (the light bearer) to do? Why resurrect the boogie man again, create another “attack” on America to rally the troops and bomb the hell out of someone somewhere, thus making our military people more money.

Will the Egyptian people gain a democratic system – doubtful. It may seem democratic, but in the end it all comes back to those who now control so much of the world, who endlessly monitor our activities, such as here. Watching for those who divulge to much and may need to be added to the Minority Report.

So please tell me if this is

So please tell me if this is a true snapshot of your post. You believe that the United States Military, in cahoots with the Egyptian Military and without the President's (Obama's) knowledge or approval, decided that they wanted Mubarak out. So the Psych Ops team at the Pentagon put together all these protests in Egypt, to create some level of chaos to oust Mubarak. In the end the U.S. Military got exactly what it wanted, which was a temporary shift of power to the Egyptian military, which will give the U.S. the power to put a new government in place.

But not really the U.S., but some uber-rich puppetmaster club somewhere that controls the military. And what they're going to do is put people in place who will be our enemies so we can fear them, and possibly attack them, but at least use that fear to build up our military against the threat.

Is that close?

not even close man. You left out Israel. That is a big one. Your snapshot left out the most important player in the region: Israel.

not a true snapshot at all, but rather a photoshopped summary for the ignorant and uneducated and posted by a tea bagging partisan who isn't interested in Truth at all.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I see the potential for things to get worse than they were before or are currently but I'm hopeful that that won't be the case. Hopefully they'll be happy with their new government. I suspect Egypt-U.S. relations won't be as stalwart as they've been in the past but I'm hopeful that we won't form yet another enemy as I think we can all agree we're sick of conflict.
