WATCH LIVE: Mubarak Resigns! Egyptians Celebrate!

Congratulations, Egypt. It seems your government’s “COINTELPRO” isn’t as good as ours. Thanks for showing the world peace can be a powerful weapon…most people forgot I think.

We would have to take action for that to happen…Americans are terrible at that.

The “p” is for “Penner”, no?

Mubarak: Half sunk, a shattered visage lies

Very interesting, thank you for informing me.

Some have called Jan 25th, or these protests in general, Egypt’s “Day of Rage”.

The “Days of Rage” were three days in the Autumn of 1969, in Chicago. The demonstrations were over the continued presence of combat troops in Vietnam, as well as the poor treatment of women, minorities, and young people here at home.

What is happening in Egypt is nothing like the “Days of Rage”…yet.

~ Unlike the Egypt protests, the “Days of Rage” were intended to be destructive and violent. This is the biggest and most important difference.

~ The “Days of Rage” never had more than a thousand people in attendance, the Egypt protests count hundreds of thousands to millions.

“Those who make peaceful protest impossible make violence protest inevitable.” – JFK – But what happens when peaceful protest becomes irrelevant? Mubarak allows the protests, but doesn’t acquiesce to them. He wants the protesters to make this violent. He tried to do it with provocateurs, but that was flying so now he’s trying empty promises and meaningless gestures, in order to bide time until they can find an excuse for a crackdown.

No one knows whether the Weather Underground was a CIA/FBI invention, used to hijack the S.D.S. and the whole youth and equality movement with it, or whether they were truly just misguided kids…but it was probably a little of both and mostly the former.

At any rate, I think FUBARak has already shown he knows how to play the totalitarian dictator role very well, right down to handling the PR of an attempted revolution. He can’t step down, he has no choice; he’s in the club.

Thank you very much, it is good to see you, and so many others, here. The information quality seems to be pretty high, with a low amount of static.

FUBARak has drawn his line in the sand, the protesters will not leave. I think tomorrow will be a pretty eventful day in Egypt.

Will they simply hold their ground, and try to continue giving peace a try? Will they become more aggressive? Will it be like what happened to the S.D.S. back in the 60’s, and end up being hijacked by violent elements within the group mixed with Government provocateurs?

I sure hope there are enough cameras around to make sure the Egyptian Nixon can’t commit any human rights violations in the darkness.

My best heart and best wishes are with the Freedom Fighters in Egypt.
