El-Sisi’s Mandate and Tahrir Square ‘Parliament’

El-Sisi, confident in popular support, is asking the people of Egypt to give him the power to end the Muslim Brotherhood street protests over the ousting of the elected president Mursi on 07/03/2013 after days of massive demonstrations asking for the Muslim Brotherhood president of the country to leave power. The Muslim Brotherhood since the ousting of Mursi did not play their cards well and kept alienating itself from the Egyptian street, their protest signs mostly are written in foreign languages, obviously and clearly they are addressing some other people beside their own and beside the Egyptian people.

Justice is not named Trayvon

But not to be with his relatives who live in that gated community that a watchman named George Zimmerman was supposed to protect; he was killed by the same watchman that was supposed to protect him and escort him if needed to his destination on that evening. While the true justice is looking for its way out. In the Zimmerman case, the judicial system worked, but the law was wrong. Diggdigg No one can see into the mind of George Zimmerman.

In the Zimmerman case, the judicial system worked, but the law was wrong

A lot of the people disappointed in the not guilty verdict in his trial believe that he went out hunting someone, just like Bernard Goetz did in the New York subway system almost 30 years ago. But they’ll never be able to prove it. In the same way, the district attorney was unable to prove that George Zimmerman committed either murder or manslaughter the night he shot Trayvon Martin.

Egypt lost in Bermuda Triangle: USA, Muslim Brotherhood and the Qatari Connection. Diggdigg American Politicians have proven to the world once again that they are big history enthusiasts. In fact that they love history so much that they strive to repeat their historical mistakes once or more every generation. Apparently, the mistakes done by looking the other way during the establishment of an Islamist regime in Iran and establishing Al Qaeda in Afghanistan to battle what they called the communists expansion in central Asia during the 1970’s and 1980’s still continue through the 21st century.

Back then, the plan worked initially and not only the communist expansion was quelled but the entire Soviet Union was splattered into pieces and divided into 15 republics that formed later a wall around the Russia, some countries that are pro-Russian while the rest are Pro-USA. While some may argue about the fact that USA is still the major superpower, none will argue about the extent and leverage that the USA can exercise economically, military and politically on a global scale.
