Violence erupted in Cairo’s Tahrir Square today, with the Health Ministry reporting at least 88 people injured in clashes which reportedly began as disputes among vendors serving the massive crowd of protesters.
According to witnesses, there were arguments among vendors and some protesters, who complained the vendors were giving the protesters a “bad name” because some were selling marijuana.
Protesters have been camped out in the square for over a week now, protesting against the military junta’s refusal to expedite turning the country over to civilian rule, and complaining about junta leadership plans to ensure the constitution enshrines the military with unchecked power even after the handover.
Meanwhile, Egypt’s convoluted “first free elections” moved into Day 2 today, and with a strong turnout and early results expected to begin trickling in, most of the money is on the Muslim Brotherhood, long banned in Egypt, scoring big. The Muslim Brotherhood is considered the best organized of the factions contesting the vote, though a number of liberal factions are expected to give them a close run in the election, which will last months.
PAIN COMPLIANCE — CUTTING EDGE OF EMPIRE
Comes now Empire USA to invade and now occupy Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and soon Syria. And from its Special Forces butcher squads that target large families in the Afghan mountains, to its Drones with a house full of kids being their high value targets, to all the over-kill of the Occupy movement, its all about pain compliance and how best to instill fearful submission to authority.
Take the $2 billion each year we hand to Egyptian generals, who just now purchased 21 tons of tear gas from a Pennsylvania corporation. Take last week where over 40 protesters were killed in Egypt, where a dozen died because of a super-high concentration of tear gas, where over 20 died because of live ammunition made in USA. And where a police captain was over heard saying,
“Shoot for the heads!…”
“Shoot for the heads!…”
So, a world record for loss of eyes by protesters took place last week in Egypt, all a CIA creation, all to be in CIA compliance, all to achieve state of the art pain compliance.
Egyptian Brotherhood — Part of 30% most wealthy ruling class
Over 80% of Egypt is Muslim and most certainly they should have a Muslim government with Muslim laws throughout.
But, Mubarak was just a paid actor and front-man for the 30% most wealthy ruling class, and the Muslim Brotherhood is of that class, a very pro-USA greed hungry class.
So, what were seeing in Egypt is the Muslim Brotherhood switching from indirect smokescreen control of government, to direct control and continued slavery of the uneducated lower half of society.
