Security forces loyal to Egypt’s military junta today attacked 17 different offices of pro-democracy and human rights NGOs, nominally over accusations that the groups, which included several US-backed organizations, were operating without the correct permits to receive foreign funding.
Members of the groups see the attacks as motivated by politics and not law, noting that several of the groups have taken public stands against long-term military rule as the first round of elections wraps up in the nation.
The US State Department released a statement expressing “concern” over the moves (at least against US-backed NGOs), saying that it was “inconsistent with the bilateral cooperation we have had over many years.
Officials even insisted there was some chance the US might “review” their massive annual military aid to Egypt, though with much of that aid recently coming in the form of crowd control weapons clearly designed to be used against political dissidents it is unclear how serious the comment is, being an effort to ensure that the US-backed groups get some level of legal privilege.
Doubters take note. This is how the hope of democracy dies. Notice nowhere on the list are bastards like the NED. The NGO's being targeted are probably legit. This is the best Military Dictatorship our 2 Billion a year can buy. When money is no object to these Fascist Banksters, all they have to do is find someone they can buy off. Then begins the work of eliminating opponents. It's the same sad story from Allende to Mossadegh, it's how we roll.
I take the "probably legit" statement back. They're all apparently a bunch of undesirables. My apologies. Thanks for the clarification Dr. Giraldi.
Wow, a lonely voice of reasons among a crowd of paranoid, self-brainwashed wanna be Communists!
Pro-democracy NGOs? Why didn't you name them? NDI, IRI and Freedom House. The same USAID/NED regime change organizations that trained the activists behind your beloved nonviolent “anti-imperial revolution” in the first place.
Oh, lord. What a tangled web we weave…
So, to you all brave mouth soldiers, any and all people in the world who rise and revolt against tyranny are brainwashed and/or paid idiots then? Of course, that means that YOU are the only smart ones because you are capable of seeing that which does not exist. Just like the Righties only instead of god and Jesus, you worship Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. What a bunch of idiots!
"NDI, IRI and Freedom House"
Maybe this "junta" isn't so bad after all!
The Egyptians (and Russians and everyone else) are absolutely right to kick these clowns out. IRI and NDI are headed by John McCain and Madeleine Albright respectively and they are part of the National Endowment for Democracy which has been up to its eyeballs in "democracy promotion" and pastel revolutions throughout eastern europe and elsewhere. They are the cutting edge of the American imperial/regime change agenda and are essentially accountable to no one.
You kidding, right? Down below "ssulrich" is telling us that they're all headed by Israel and blah blah blah. Who is a schmuck like me gonna believe now? Seriously. What a bunch of malicious fools! As is the Right so is the Left.
It is amazing to watch the USA complain about Egypt attacking a group while funding the abuse by the Occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. I do not see the Egyptians building walls to slowly starve the people as our special friends do in the middle east.
That's because the US probably thinks that the Egyptians are not targeting the same groups they would. ~hark~
All of the groups are IN BED WITH NED. Enough said.
From RT: And in an August article by Democracy Digest – the US National Endowment for Democracy’s journal – the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights issued a joint statement with the Syrian Human Rights Organization and the Damascus Center for Human Rights Studies calling on several BRICS nations to support a UN resolution condemning “the government’s use of violence against peaceful protesters.”
Egypt, Syria… Uncle NED is everywhere. But somehow Antiwar can’t see him (even when his “progressive” publicist appears on Antiwar Radio).

Antiwar is showing a great deal of concern for the US-sponsored protests and uprising. It offered the same uncanny support for the Iran Green Movement without even considering any of the outside factors, including funding by the State Department, the pro-Israel Brookings paper on how to proceed, and the writers who are supported/subsidized by Congress. I hope Antiwar wakes up before all the readers do.
Wow, still talking about one of the best propaganda campaign of all times. in fact, I hear that in Israel, they're still studying and trying to duplicate the techniques used by the Loving Left(tm) to fuck up the entire affairs. And, please, no need to apologize or feel guilty for the damage you did, after all, like your loving brothers on the Right, it's was Jesus would have done. No…make that "it's what Che Guevara would have done"
Yeah, I'm sure. The US is probably "concerned" that the Egypt junta is not attacking certain NGOs as instructed by the US/Israel Juntas.
Voting majority USA — 51% most wealthy and greedy
“Americans on the whole ARE charitable and
GENEROUS with their time and resources.”
My laboring-class in America, the entire lower half of society, we could be charitable and generous if it was not for the fact that our 51% most wealthy always vote in a way that best keeps us impoverished.
And as our 51% most wealthy do so love to plunder and enrich themselves upon the misery of the world, for you to say that in such cruel hearts there be charity, this would mean that you suffer a sever case of stupidity.
In Russia the same NGOs were organizing the anti government protests, starting way ahead of the parliamentarian election day, and claiming way ahead of the voting day that there would be fraudulent incidents. It was proved beyond any doubt, for example, that no one could add a stack of papers to the sealed voting boxes (the slots were too narrow). Undaunted, the observers changed their claim and started claiming that the fraud was perpetrated LATER, after the votes were counted.
It was taught on their seminars by the American instructors. On the USAID site the Golos (self-proclaimed observer group) is listed as a recipient of its funds.
The protesters craved attention. On their sites they claimed there would be "blood" flowing during the protests, and welcomed it.
To their dismay not a single one was molested, arrested, detained or bloodied by the police.. The FOX TV stooped so low that substituted Greek protesters video claiming the police brutality in Moscow. Well, well… We don't have palm trees on the Moscow streets )))))))) http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/84474/URG…
Laboring Man Herald
Security forces in Egypt have raided and plundered much property from the 15 foreign NGO’s that have condemned the Army generals for brutal riots against peaceful protesters, stealing all their computers, all records and anything else of value. They now having no equipment and no license to operate, it will be months or maybe never before they will reopen.
Also as a matter of coincidence, the local offices of two CIA run anti-democracy groups, they enjoyed a scheduled pleasant meeting with these Security forces. They were the US-based International Republican Institute (IRI) and National Democratic Institute (NDI). After which they all enjoyed a luncheon together at one of Egypt’s fine restaurants.
