They got rid of the dictators but now the new governments will all be Totalitarian Theocracies! Do you think that is what the revolutionary protesters wanted?
At least they attempted change. We seem destined to vote for the same two parties AGAIN.
And, ofcourse, expect something different from them....again..
So Israel has the same thing and they seemed quiet happy until recently.
they were happy until ows arrived - welcome my Jewish brothers. now lets kick some ass.
Democracy worked in the west because we went through the enlightenment, which encouraged secular thought. Egypt never went through any such stage. Heck, they haven't even gone through something like the Renaissance yet. Most of the people in Egypt are illiterate and their community center the Mosque. It really shouldn't be that surprising that Egypt went the way it did. The students who started the protest at Tahrir square were part of a very small minority of the population that received education similar to what we have in the west. Most of the population wouldn't respect a constitution like the United States because they have very little knowledge of history and the freedoms our constitution entails doesn't mesh well with their chief religion.
Indeed, and that's why its majorly lame that Occupy keeps on comparing itself with such protests. Occupy needs to find particular solutions to the particular socio-economic-political problems faced by America. Cherry picking irrelevant protests throughout the world and throughout history to emulate is doomed to failure. I understand the want for Occupy to be global, but we must realize that countries around the world do not all face the same problems. As you have aptly noted, populations have different types of education, culture, religion, etc... And, we must look at the history of each country, theirs laws, etc... A solution in one country is far from guaranteed to work in another.

It's also looking majorly lame to be calling itself leaderless (wasn't Egypt leaderless too?). Ask anyone randomly: "OWS is going to be making a major announcement tonight. Where do you expect to see it happen?" NYCGA
the book that was used for all the Arab revolutions was from dictatorship to democracy and it came from boston mass.
All the so called 'revolutions' and arab-spring shit was engineered by the CIA.
When it comes home, its rewound by the DHS. If the NSA saw OWS as a threat they would have the DOD running the show.
The mere fact that DHS is running the show, tells you that OWS is seen as a domestic terrorism threat.
Study CHOMSKY is the only hope of analyzing the OWS. There hasn't been anything in the past 50 year history where the both ends of the debate weren't controlled by the fucking MACHINE. Chomsky call's it "Manufacturing Consent".
Don't play the 'conspriacy' shit with me, because conspiracy requires fucking secrecy, everything going on is publicly documented, the only conspiracy is that 99% of the US public is fed shit on TV 24/7 and base their opinions on 18,000 hours of brain-fuck.

Another reason we should not try to emulate those protests.
Who's talking about a conspiracy. Are you able to follow the discussion?

Not you earlier, another used that fucking 'conspiracy' word, there are no secrets, only lazy people.
I think you should add ZIONIST to your warning, or do you fear the truth? I don't think your a troll, I think your a zionist-sock-puppet.
OK, I'll add zionist-sock-puppet to my warning. Is this better?

thanks I like it :)
I thought you weren't too bad a guy when I first read your shit, .. but then your reply's always sound like your trying to play the other side of the debate, maybe that's just your game, but in general I know you have a good heart and they need that here, cuz we need people that can or want to educate others,
Somebody here said today that now is a special time ... I say BULLSHIT, in all human history, 90% don't know what's happening, 3% make shit happen, and 7% knows what's happening, all we can ever do is hope to bring that 7% together, nothing more, to expect the 90% to move from ignorance to strength is like expecting to change the world, but you have already made that delusional position.
I hold to the Asian philosophy, make good of your life and family, that's all you can ever hope for, understand the world for their survival ( family ), .. that's it, do that and your a member of the 1%
It doesn't matter where it came from as long as the writer was aware of the situation in the Arab countries. There are many American scholars who are experts in the socio-economic-political realities of other countries. There are also foreigners who study and publish books in America. The best scholars in Indonesia are Indonesians who have studied abroad; in the United-States or Europe.
What's important is that these protests were planned according to their local situation and the protesters did not feel the need to latch on to other protests around the world and throughout history. They played their own game, and so should Occupy.

THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL
It's all been said before son, learn your fucking history, and your right.
But I might add that those Arab's in Egypt your whining about invented Algebra back when white fucks lived in caves and practiced cannibalism on an Island we now call UK.
I don't share this idea. I would rather say - "Act local, then regional, then global. Always discuss issues concerning each of the levels, don't limit yourself to global thinking only. Matters in your locality need to be solved by local thinkers."
What does this have to do with anything? Aren't we talking about modern problems? What's the use of pulling stuff out from way back in history. This is exactly the kind of lame thinking that is hurting Occupy. And, your perception of history is wrong. White people were not living in caves while the people in the Arabian countries were inventing algebra.

Your just a little piss-ant, don't be delusional that you can change the world, you only have control your immediate 10 meter radius at best clean that toilet before you try to fix the rest. THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL is as close as anybody can get to reality.
Regarding Algebra I just find its funny that these HAIR-LIPS we call the US-PUBLIC think that Arab's are lower or not as smart, I simply like to remind people that their fucking NUMBER's ... 1.2 3. .4 .. 10 came from Arabs, and math, ... That the white fucks would still be in trees if not for the Arab's who looked up at the star's and used their fucking brain. All that is evil in the Arab world is because of the OIL-MEN who for 100 years have FUCKED those people, and the USA thinks they deserved to have their children murdered because they don't love their children like white people love their children.
yes, we're talking about MODERN, but you can't discuss today, without a firm understanding of where the BUSH-TRIBE came from
It doesn't matter who invented math thousands of years ago, what matters is the education system nowadays. You are extremely simple minded and rude. Are you a teenager by any chance?
The Arab countries have been in wars way before the United-States even existed. Learn some history.

Their education system was destroyed by the tryants we put into power there over the last 100 years, the good news is that we let the same kind of people manage our educational system, I dare say that according to the CIA factbook that USA education is by far the worst on the planet. What kind of talk is this the USA has only existed for 200 years and the Arab civilizations for 1,000's and 1,000's so hell yes they have had war's, ... So let me understand your DUMB FUCKING ZION LOGIC, ... that because a civilization was around 4,000 years ago, that a newbie like the USA can destroy them and that makes it ok? I suppose by the same logic when the WHITE Fucks came here to the america and slaughtered the injuns that was ok, cuz the injuns used to fight before we came and deserved to die,...
EVerybody here know what this fuck is promoting? ZIONISM 101, the premise that its OK to kill arabs cuz they have always had war and love to die, ... but then the same could be said of the USA they have always had war and thus all their children should be slaughtered cuz they love war....
Yep I love zionism, it makes everything so clear
I never said what US was doing in foreign countries was OK. I think US should not engage in foreign wars at all. US is an evil country as far as I'm concerned. I was simply replying to your weak arguments. You're putting words in my mouth. I never talked of Zionism. You seem unable to read, or comprehend others. You should not have quite school.

You are promoting zionist arguments without even knowing your source, I would give you credit that your lying, but sadly I think your telling the truth you really don't even know where your ideas have come from :(
And what arguments would those be? That Occupy should not be influenced by the Arab Spring protests? I don't see how this is a Zionist argument. Personally, I think Palestine deserves its own land and that Israel has done nothing but invade a territory that it not theirs. But sure, if you think if a Zionist, that's fine. Whatever your logic tells you.
WARNING: On this site, I have been called a troll, a psyops capable of mind infiltration, a government mole, and a zionist-sock-puppet. Read my opinions at your own risk.
Your stupid fucking argument that Arab's have had wars longer than the USA, excuse me your comparing a 200 year old civilization to a 4,000 year old civilization. Futhermore Arab's have always been there, the USA only recently stole their home. FYI your argument that its OK to kill Arabs because there has ALWAYS been war is zionism-101, and maybe you didn't know that, or maybe only today you pulled that argument out of your ass, cuz your so smart.
My argument never said it was OK for US to be there. The point is that the Arab countries were fighting long before the oil men arrived. Your argument that US has created all the current problem in Arab countries is simple minded and highly flawed. Your stretching my argument. I never said US wasn't causing problems, I said they were not the sole cause of said problems. For you to stretch this out and accuse of being a Zionist shows a great lack of logic.
If you want to know the truth. I think US sucks. I think it should pull out all its armies from other countries and return them home, and I would be more than happy to see US suffer great economic pains and become a poor country so that it couldn't wage wars across the world any longer. And, my hope is that Israel stops taking land from Palestine. I find this extremely problematic.
Grow up. You don't need to swear like a child. Try to read people's arguments and see what they mean. Don't stretch them to absurd conclusions, that just shows you lack common sense logic.

Do I have to go back and cut&paste your shit? You argued that the Arabs were somehow unworthy cuz they had a long history of war, ... well yes they are an older civilization than the USA, which is just a fucking baby nation of fascists. Swearing add's context and emotion to the engagement, its OWS this is what democracy looks like understand bitch :) Your getting better last week your shit was un-bearable this week your shit is getting tight and on subject, Your one of the ass-holes on this OWS forum that isn't a fucking BOOR.
I never said they were unworthy. This is your fabrication. Read the thread. You seem to have reading difficulties.
You need to sleep what time is it where you are? Its 1pm where I live. Just curious. See I bailed years ago, I knew what was coming. If you bother to study collapsing civilizations you'll find that the smart bail early. The surviving Jews didn't wait until 1938 to exit, they got out in 1932, .. with their life and money. Then as now if you don't see the future your a fucking idiot.
It's 1:21pm here in Bali, Indonesia. I'm from Canada, but Iv'e been here for awhile. I have been retired since the age of 30. Nice chat, I'm off to the beach. It's been extremely hot here lately. Time for a bit of surfing. It's - you're a fucking idiot - not - your a fucking idiot. Learn to write. English is my second language and I write better than you ;-)

As coups are one of the primary ways through which dictatorships are installed, this piece details measures that civilians, civil society, and governments can take to prevent and block coups d'état and executive usurpations. It also contains specific legislative steps and other measures that governments and non-governmental institutions can follow to prepare for anti-coup resistance. ++++training web page http://tinyurl.com/7rvpv43
That's the problem with a totalitarian state. The only body that is allowed to coexist with a totalitarian government and has national organization is religious. When the oppressive government is removed there is a vacuum and the religious leaders step in.
The muslim brotherhood has patiently waited for 3 generations for the US to create this vacuum, they deserve their turn to rape and pillage the population. The USA wouldn't be leaving if there was anything to steal.
Today the USA wants OIL, as soon their paper money will have no value, the future of the world belongs to those who control the OIL.
OBAMA/BUSH is all about sending people of dark skin off to the oil-wars, aka WWIII, and OWS is a front to justify the DRAFT being returned.
A I P A C is controlling the shots, the tea-party was PUG, and the OWS is DEM. But everything is CIA/MOSSAD ( TEAM-OIL ).
No need for wars really, just keep buying it. Because of the environmental movement world oil production is largely from other countries. Once those reserves are used and prices rise you may find there is a shift to oil shale. Do you know where the largest concentrations of oil shale are located?
There is about 60-100 years of oil supply on the entire planet.
Under the Gulf of Mexico there is enough hydromethane to run all the cars and powerplants for 10,000 years.
Do you know where the largest coal deposit on earth is??
Close call between Asia and North America, by country the US. I honestly don't think it's any kind of conspiracy, the oil is just the easiest to get at present. That's likely to change in the next few decades.
Please don't fucking use that word 'conspiracy', like I said the fucking CIA factbook doesn't hide anything.
Conspiracy requires secrecy by definition, none of this shit is a fucking secret.
Nope this is in the CIA factbook and in the yearly US MILITARY REPORT on Energy, the largest coal deposits in the WORLD are in the NE USA.
So long after the oil is gone and the shale has destroyed Canada, the USA will be like Africa a nation of slaves working deep in the ground not unlike the images of Lord of the Rings, think cave-troll, and golum, that's our future.
There is oil shale in the western US and frozen methane under the gulf, as well as the coal in the east. The point is lots of conventional energy here. When prices rise and it become economically feasible it will be tapped.
To clear up my meaning, I don't think there is any conspiracy. I simply meant none of this is intentional, there is no group behind our getting oil from other nations. Right now it's cheapest to pump oil, when that's gone there will be a shift to things in the US. I don't know who will be digging it out, if it's needed someone will do the work.
Think about this petro-man, ... If you could harness all the methane from team-ows, how many btu's could your generate annually?
I know but I wanted make clear because a lot of people are fed a lot shit.
There is this urban MYTH that when the oil is gone the world comes to an end.
The USA military estimates that the USA has 300 years of coal deposits, of course digging that shit up and using it will destroy their earth, but nonetheless its essential to understand that the USA still has enormous wealth.
I know I know cheap portable liquid energy, ... that's obvious,
There is also the issue of quality, these shales and other shit like USA coal are high in sulfur, which is not good for stealth aircraft,
The fact is the BEST oil in the world that was ever found is LIBYAN OIL, the best in the world and the USA just stole the whole thing ... and go away with it :)
Do you know where the biggest turtles can be found???
Pity the Arab's I do, how would you feel if your home and children had been slaughtered for generations. These people have been at the wrong end of the christian crusades for so long, but history tells us that unlike us they never forget.
Because of Zionists ruling ameriKKKa and controlling its money, they have destroyed our country, and that means that once again the MUSLIM world will rise to power, my god I pity the future people in the USA the wrath they will endure for the coming millennium, as the Arabs will NEVER forget the atrocity's brought to them by the devil USA.
Just stating a fact, not supporting the position one way or another, the BIBLE says what you sow so shalll ye reap,
What goes around comes around, ... I can clearly see the Muslim world enslaving white folks to dig for coal in 200 years, ... post USA collapse, ... remember the USA still sits on the largest coal reserve on earth and future wars will be fought there, ....
Islam has never matured as a religion, neither has it's followers. Anyone who worships a child molester has screws loose upstairs.

Normally when the CIA overthrows one government and replaces it with a new set up assholes that is justification for invasion.
The USA has now done this so many times in the past 200 years that it has gotten boring. WHO put Saddam Hussien in power in the first place? THe USA why? Cuz he was a fascist and opposed communism. Who put in Somoza that killed everyone in central america? The USA why? Cuz chiquita banna said so ... It's always been this way,
Shit you can go back to the 1700's and the US marines invaded Libya and took power, and placed a puppet government, this is what the USA does.
Oh and now Israel is scarred shit that Egypt doesn't have a PRO-ISRAEL government, ... I wonder what A I P A C will tell the US congress to do now??
You just have to fucking guess?
