The death toll at the hands of Egypt’s military junta continues to rise today, after 38 captured protesters were suffocated to death in the back of an overcrowded police van in Cairo.
Egyptian officials offered two different stories which both involved the detainees killed while attempting to escape from prison, but other sources later confirmed that they were dead in the back of the van.
The deaths fueled more condemnation from around the region, but especially from the Muslim Brotherhood, whose civilian government was ousted by the military last month.
“The murders show the violations and abuses that political detainees who oppose the July 3 coup get subjected to,” the Brotherhood added in a statement. The overall death toll since Wednesday’s massacres in a matter of considerable dispute, but the official Health Ministry figures put it around 850 killed, while most analysts agree it is now well over 1,000. The Brotherhood has suggested it is several thousand, though it is impossible to verify any of the figures as the situation gets more and more chaotic.
Militarized government — Why a half century of it?
Now somebody is forcing their will on somebody, otherwise there would be no need for a military to run government. And as the military has hoarded 30% of all the wealth in Egypt during that time, safe to say that who ever is supplying the money has absolute control over the military.
So, Empire USA, give the top generals in Egypt $1.5 billion in bribes a year, Egypt’s corporate rich allow the generals to invest in corporations and to run gigantic sweatshop corporations and the upper half of Egyptian society, the half that hoards all the wealth, they are the slave drivers and pro-military protesters bring it all to life.
The rich own news — So the rich own existence
DARKNESS
"Any voices of balance or nuance are being pushed
out. Not by force, but completely voluntarily."
LIGHT
In Egypt as in Empire USA, the most wealthy and greedy High Society owns or controls all of mainstream news. The 1% of society that owns over 70% of all wealth, they mold and shape the news before we get it, creating a fiction existence and a fake morality that controls every aspect of society.
All robots, gentlemen, every aspect of the mind, character and personality, totally thought controlled gentlemen.
I find that the headline of this article is very hard to believe.
