The Middle East Revolution [2010-2011] Thread: I love baton - General

If they start killing civilians or if this gets the news in America there will be Abrams tanks with the American flag on the side rolling against the police within the month.

[QUOTE=Sergeant Turtle;27694160]This is still getting barely any coverage on the news networks I've been watching, does anyone know of any US/Canadian channels doing major coverage?[/QUOTE] Doesn't look like it. CTV is talking about random shit but CBC is talking about shit in Tunisia at least.

Alert your presses, send messages, call and criticize them, bombard them with emails! [b]Increased public awareness brings change![/b]

[url]https://www.accessnow.org/proxy-cloud/page/join-the-cloud[/url] I've been posting that link everywhere I can, I've set up two completely open high-bandwidth Tor proxies (which is a stupid idea in terms of security), and I can see people making connections (possibly from Egypt), which is neat. Keep 'em connected. Also, [url]http://streisand.me[/url] looks interesting. EDIT: And video in OP got tweeted couple minutes ago - the one with the guy and the water cannon. Tweet called it "the next Tienanmen square", yeah, reminds me of the guy stood in front of a tank... hopefully they'll stick to water cannons and not turn to tanks, though :|

Hope OP and his family are alright.

[QUOTE=Van-man;27696669]Oil[/QUOTE] I think they'd make a lot more profit out of the Suez, but history has told us it's a bad idea to try take it.

Hang on, if you kicked the riot police guy you deserved to get beat.

OP, get stuck in my son.

[QUOTE=moesislack;27695034]If they start killing civilians or if this gets the news in America there will be Abrams tanks with the American flag on the side rolling against the police within the month.[/QUOTE] Quite the opposite, US is backing the Egyptian government. Gotta love the lure of money...

[QUOTE=tommyc225;27696553]What interest would America have in Egypt?[/QUOTE] It's part of NATO if they start killing civies NATO won't like it to much. [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] Shows how corrupt the American government is. They shouldn't back 29 years of rein. [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] I guess I was hopeing they'd help but I guess not :( common Obama they need your help.

Internet was cut in egypt just now by the government in an attempt to stop our communications ... FUCKING BASTRDS they are trying to isolate egypt from the whole world in order to get away with all the violence they will use , it will be a massacre , please inform the news !!!

Meaning a unanimous vote of all the member countries of the UN. There would be no American flags waving there, only the UN flag. Waving an American flag would only say 'this is an invasion' to the Egyptians.

I want to see and read more, this shit is crazy. [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] Anyone know what the current situation is like right now?

[editline]27th January 2011[/editline] Anyone know what the current situation is like right now?[/QUOTE] the situation is that those fuckers have cut the internet to prevent all kinds of communication and to get away with all the killings that will happen in the next few hours

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XnhHzs91MY[/media] That was...senseless.

Here's another one [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v79xw0WJwI[/media] don't know if it has been posted yet [editline]28th January 2011[/editline] Also, live updates from The Guardian here: [url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2011/jan/27/egypt-protests[/url]

It's a peaceful sit-in, but personally as a governor, I would try to prevent people from doing it. Who wants thousands of people sitting in their building? Sucky situation though.

wow i will never look at surf_egypt on css the same

Good luck from Norway. I had no idea Egypt were this fucked up.

lol. the truck looks like its pissing

[QUOTE=Bllasae;27697016]Hang on, if you kicked the riot police guy you deserved to get beat.[/QUOTE] the fuckers are shooting unarmed civillians, they deserve a lot more than to get kicked.

Wow. I had no idea all this was happening. The news here sucks. Good luck and stay safe, and get that bastard out of office.

yall have to remember, the egyptian gonverment is one of the US'es only allies in the middle east, they have to keep them, so there is no reason in their eyes that they should help the people rebelling [editline]28th January 2011[/editline] Dont get me wrong though, this is fucked up on every level possible.

Just called up my local news station and asked if they could cover this. The guy said he'd talk to the broadcasting people about it.
