A Truth Journal: Egypt In a Nutshell: Muslim Brotherhood Are Terrorists, Opponents To Peace: From Denny:  Violence erupts in Egypt.  The knee jerk reaction is the Pentagon howls about what they might be in jeopardy of losing.  The Pentagon never does get their priorities right.  So, President Obama hurriedly does the Pentagon's bidding and rushes out onto the international stage to make their case before he fully understands Egypt.

The State Department is collectively wringing their hands that Egypt might become another Syria with years of civil war on the horizon.  And the rest of the world is shaking their head at the inept policies coming out of the American government that seems to be rudderless in addition to clueless.

Here are the principle players in this international drama:  the Muslim Brotherhood, the people of Egypt who want a secular government and peace with their neighbors, the Pentagon and Big Business defense contractors.

Here is Egypt's current situation in a nutshell summary...

The Social Poets: GOP Plans To Axe Food Stamps For Over 150 Million Americans




The Social Poets: GOP Plans To Axe Food Stamps For Over 150 Million Americans: From Denny:  Over 46 million households in America depend upon the food stamp benefits program to put enough food on the table to feed their families.

If each household is a family of four then you are looking at maybe as many as 184 million Americans.  That is over half to two-thirds of America in need of help to eat each day.  No one said it meant three meals a day either.

It does not seem to matter to the GOP and Congress that these same Americans have contributed as taxpayers to support these programs.  Now, the unthinkable for the majority of them is to draw food stamps benefits.  They have no choice; the economy is that bad.

Many active duty military to retirees use $100 million in food stamps benefits.  Are the Republicans just out of control crazy to do this to them and the rest of America?  What is wrong with these people?

Dennys Global Politics: Egypt: Revolution Loses Meaning As Women Denied Rights, Role in Society




Dennys Global Politics: Egypt: Revolution Loses Meaning As Women Denied Rights, Role in Society: From Denny:  Egypt held so much hope for the world when the Arab Spring broke out last year, toppling the regime.

Then reality set in.  The very women that protected the men who marched, the very women who gave medical aid and money to help the revolution, were turned upon and denied their respect and freedom.

The protesters took it all and gave nothing in return by denying women a seat at the table while they restructured the national government.  The former male protesters and the Egyptian military council refused the concepts of generosity, kindness, partnership and equality.  To the women, the protesters and the military are no different than the regime:  all deny freedom and equal rights to women.

The Social Poets: Jon Stewart Interviews Egypt Revolution Activist Gigi Ibrahim


The Social Poets: Jon Stewart Interviews Egypt Revolution Activist Gigi Ibrahim: "From Denny: Stewart dishes out the political satire in a semi-serious interview aimed at exposing how for decades American policy has had little to do with the reality of every day Egyptians.

What is so funny about the experience of this young woman is how she became involved in the Egypt Revolution this past January in Tahrir Square.  She went to a class, 'The Social Mobilization Under Authoritarian Regime,' at the American University in Cairo."

Funny Video: Jon Stewart Mocks Mubarak Speech in Egypt

Jon StewartImage via Wikipedia
From Denny: Jon Stewart chides Mubarak in his insincere speech trying to stay in power while the protesters rejected his appeal.  He also discusses the news as it unfolded in Egypt, going from a peaceful revolution to a violent one as the Mubarak forces came in to beat the protesters.

Foreign journalists like CNN's Anderson Cooper were beaten and harassed continually by the corrupt police.  Anderson was punched in the face 10 times by a mob of Mubarak thugs.  Christiane Amanpour experienced a mob rocking her car back and forth to try and overturn it.  Brian Williams got kicked in the privates for his efforts to cover the news.

Man, if I were Williams' sister I'd hop a plane to Egypt and take a baseball bat to the offenders in their privates and see how they liked it.  Then I'd get in a fast car and run down Christiane's tormentors and take some brass knuckles to the creeps who went after Anderson.  Anyone have some great ideas of what to do to the vile scum that raped a CBS news reporter?  Let's all think of the most outrageous punishment for those 200 "brave" fools who thought it funny to gang rape a woman.  Make sure it qualifies for the outrageous category.

Of course, my main question is this, "Why in the hell did the news networks not provide Special Forces security for all these reporters?"   They were foreigners walking into mob situations.  Just how cheap - or naive - are these network owners and producers?
