i was thinking more 1984What the fuck is going on around the world right now?

Power and authority are too different matters...See why Government's should not have the power to shut down the net?
Whatever. I don't want no government deciding when or if to pull the plug on my net access. Fuck 'em.
naw, the book1984? Yeah Reagan I get it
naw, the book1984? Yeah Reagan I get it
ya know, the one George Orwell wrote
actually he was only about a decade offnaw, the book1984? Yeah Reagan I get it
ya know, the one George Orwell wrote
Yep, he was just a few decades early. 1984 was about when it began.
So... basically we've pissed off the world and anyone who says they don't hate us puts a target on themselves?Like I said in an earlier thread it has the 1979 echoes all over it. Remember Iran? Not only that but Tunisia last week, Yemen is starting to have demonstrations too and that is one place that will really be radically anti-western. Can Jordan be far behind? Will Saudia Arabia fall too? It appears that North Africa and the Middle east may explode into unrest. With food prices soaring and shortages I can only see more unrest in the area.
As for Egypt, the military is still all powerfull and it will be they who decide on which horse to follow. But an anti western, anti-Israel government in Egypt will bring war in 5 years. Lebanon is nothing compared to Egypt. The keys to the middle east are Egypt on the west and Persia on the east.
Here are the figures on Egypt's literacy rate. You can bet that Iran's is more than 60% too.The Egyptian people are sick of being ruled by a puppet dictator backed by US/Israel money and weapons.
So with a less than literacy rate of 60% they'll instead be the next Iran. Great call.
Egyptian state TV reported Sunday morning that the Al Jazeera office in Cairo is being shut down and Al Jazeera reporters are losing their press credentials in Egypt.
Al Jazeera correspondent Dan Nolan tweeted the news at about 11 a.m. local time, adding that Al Jazeera's licenses were revoked, per state media.
Nolan quickly added, "Don't worry we'll still report what's happening in #Egypt no matter what new restrictions they put on us."
Another Al Jazeera employee Evan Hill put the news this way: "State TV announces Al Jazeera's broadcasting license and press cards are being revoked. Our bureau is packing up."
Al Jazeera released a statement on Sunday that it "strongly denounces and condemns the closure of its bureau in Cairo by the Egyptian government." The network says it received notification from authorities on Sunday morning that information minister [Anas al-Fikki] had ordered the suspension of Al Jazeera. It also vowed to "continue its strong coverage regardless."

That's bad news. I'd be less concerned if it were Al Arabiya, which is pro-Western. But if they're pulling Al Jazeera's credentials they're planning something they don't want even nonaligned or anti-Western Arabs to see.

yup. to back track a moment I saw a blurb on cnn that said Mubarak had not shut down the cell phones and web himself, via a mechanism the gov. controlled but that Vodaphone and others had did so at his request, theres a difference . They were turned back on yesterday, I just got up, I wonder of they are still on. I would expect if hes going to make his move he'd darken them too as well as throwing out Al-J....
I agree, now, that his family is out of the country according to reports, it appears he may be making his push to put the whole thing down. Looking at the tanks on the street etc. they would have to basically start opening up on the crowds to get them off the street, is he really going to do that? The Mullahs in Iran did so selectively, they gathered up ringleaders etc etc....and sent the Basij into the streets for selective intimidation including killing Neda soltan) etc...its all a matter of how far hes really willing to go.

That's the question, isn't it? There have been no reports of basij-like groups so far that I've seen, only regular riot police and military. And their loyalties are strained if asked to open fire on their own people. He'd be crazy to rely on them for an Iranian-style crackdown. But if forces similar to the basij were to appear on scene, I'd say all bets are off.
Nopt much of one, given the nature of the system we support in EgyptThat's bad news. I'd be less concerned if it were Al Arabiya, which is pro-Western. But if they're pulling Al Jazeera's credentials they're planning something they don't want even nonaligned or anti-Western Arabs to see.
