Why Events In Egypt Were Not A Military Coup

Since the ousting of Democratically elected Morsi by the Military, most major media and countries around the world view this as a military coup. At first glance and by the limited information presented to the public, it would appear that is just what happened.

I would like to add a new perspective as to why it was not a military coup.

Here are some facts that have not made any great headlines in the days of the creation of the Egyptian Constitution and Elections.

Morsi circumvented the constitution that he and the Parliament put in place. Granting himself powers not officially given to him.

So, this is the equivalent of the president declaring himself as a king, executing powers not granted to him under the constitution, legislating or making laws without the power to do so.

Democratically elected, Yes, but a virtual dictator afterwards.

This made Morsi just like the leader they got rid of. So before they had to learn that lesson again for 3 decades, the military did give a ultimatum and time to reconcile for these problems. He failed to act or even give the appearance of reconciliation and the military kept it’s promise.

What is ironic is that the interim leader the military picked to straighten this mess out was the major player in drafting the Egyptian interim constitution. If the military was looking for power, this would not be the guy you want leading. If you wanted to draft a Constitution and start a government to represent all the people, he is your man. It was a good pick and a signal of their intent.

He is a judicial person not a leader. I think he is the correct man to make this country work for the people it governs in a long time perspective. It is likely he will create a model for for other countries in the region.

For this to work, it will require participation of all the people and not from outside powers mingling. That would mean the USA and Iran.

I can only hope my hunches are correct. All people deserve a fair chance for a just government. Generically governing for all the people is not a easy thing in this day of the individual.

If this does not go well in Egypt, and with the situation in Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan and Iran, we could easily see a holy war between Muslims and likely would suck in other nations starting with Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel and thereafter easily becoming a limited WW3.

So this action the Egyptian Military made, was that of a Constitutional Correction for the people, not a coup.

Peace and Freedom only come to those that demand it.

NSA Whistle Blower Interview

Please read into this only what he says. Not what is not said.

Commentary:

Nothing said hear contradicts what some members of Congress closest to this story have said.

Notes:

We are talking about telephone records i.e. phone numbers, time of call, length of call … emails to who and check-sum of the email.

That type of stuff.

I am only outraged in this way:

1: There is no elected governing body to be certain that this information is held securely.

2: There is no stated length of time before these records are set to be deleted.

3: There is no watchdog to make sure this data is not used for political purposes. With this being said, I will remind you of a earlier post that was make here at Moot News about a CIA Director defamed from a simple request by a friend of a FBI agent who called on the agent to look up info on a harassing email.

Here it is if you missed it ! (from Nov 2012) Click to view.

Only One Question On Petraeus Investigation

If you now have a better view after reading that ask yourself what kind of excuses they can make up for bumping you out of a job to make room for a political appointee in your workplace.

Do you even comprehend the power of information. Notice it does not need to be truthful information but just innuendo to slander you out of society.

Don’t think it could happen…. to you… Well, the snowball is just starting and how big it gets as it rolls down the hill is up to you !

John Boehner – Someone should go to JAIL !

Of course John was serious when talking about the accusation that the IRS targeted right wing / Tea Party groups applying for a charitable tax exempt status.

Gee John…. Where were you when the banks collapsed ? Where were you when we started a war without providing the funding it ?

The person that should go to “JAIL” should be anyone who stops legislation that prevents us from knowing where those tax free political contributions come from and since that is what is really at issue here.

With this loop-hole in the law, any foreign company or nation may make political contributions to the made-up non-profit charitable organizations tax free and without disclosure of who they are.

The world will never know !

A national security problem soon to invade your home in the form of TV advertising and political mailers if it has not already.

And the Budget Battle Continues… Some Advice to Obama…

Yes, did you really think the budget battle was going to be over with the automatic spending cuts ?

TAX DAY is just around the corner and will be on everyone’s mind for those that have to pay by April 15th.

Since the Congress has been unable to preform their Constitutional Duties, the President will have to lead the way. He has been trying to make a general public argument and is failing with the general message.

The President needs to trust the American Public and get specific !

Find the 10 most popular tax deductions that are nothing but a mere subsidizing industries, Banks and the Oil Companies and should not be hard to find. Use these as a example of the type of “tax loopholes” he has been talking about in the general sense. Tax incentives for taking money overseas and or sheltering it from taxes would be specifically good to point out.

If you are going to bargain some of these ridiculous tax deductions, you need to say what they are or allow the Republicans in Congress define them as tax increases. This has been his big mistake.

After all, we have been told by the same Congressional Leaders that the free markets are so good and the Government should “get out of the way”… so let’s get out of their way by means of ending tax subsidies. Especially for those having record profits and have used those extra profits to buy-out competitors ending choices with the public, hence higher prices at the expense of the consumer.

Who at that point will have egg on their face ?

Only those who are protecting the “BIG MONEY”.

You will never see a meaningful FLAT tax proposal in congress as the rich would lose their shirt with such a flat tax and they know it !

This fact goes to show who’s interest the Congress has been protecting and that goes for both sides of the isle.

Most all the really big money benefits with all those tax deductions.

Yes, they pay a very high rate but only on a limited amount of the money they earn because of the deductions.

Even Mitt Romney had a lower effective tax rate than Someone I know supporting a wife a child making 35,000 total a year and can not afford the health care for his family so he goes without it and insurance on certain items he owns so he can put food on the table.

I can see no reason why the President can not bargain the high rates against ridiculous deductions that only the rich can afford to take in the first place.

Subsidies of corporate America receive far out way the social programs they complain about. Social Security is paid for in the most part by it’s recipients and should not be part of any bargain.

It would be time to pay back the money the SSA has invested in US Treasuries and that is something the Republicans don’t want to see happen. They claim a crisis because we might have to pay back the excesses of money in the system the government has basically borrowed. Something that started in a big way with the Reagan Administration.

Yes, that was the idea when Reagan told us how in danger the SSA was in and raised tax withholding’s we did not yet need. They took the new money and bought Treasuries that the government then was able to spend. Spend it we did on a massive navel build-up in the South Pacific and other military programs.

This brought jobs and not many complained loud enough about the fundamentals.

But those investments in US treasuries were to offset when the “baby-boomers” came to age and a strained the system of payout and healthcare.

The Time has come where the payout will exceed the paycheck withholding’s and Congress wants to keep the money and just cut spending within the system so those treasuries never get cashed-out. This make me wonder where the treasury dept has invested the money. The argument the recipients should suffer any cutbacks is terrible as they invested even higher amounts that was re-invested in the US and it will soon be time to pay-up/pay-back.

This is more of what the budget battle is about behind the scenes.

Of course, There has never been a social program that the Republicans have not set-out to destroy ! If they can not end it immediately, they will chip away at it one crisis at a time (fabricated or not) and reduce it’s funding.

Your chance to petition the FCC for Internet access

So you want internet access for yourself of someone you know who has limited or no access to the internet.

I hear you!

You are not asking for anything for free, just a competitive access to the internet.

Make the White House Hear You !

Make the FCC hear you ! Now is your chance !

Sign the petition at WhiteHouse.Gov

http://wh.gov/7JG6

How this petition system works at the White House.

Anyone can submit a short petition. When the petition receives 150 votes, it will become publicly viewable.

When the petition get 100,000 votes, The White House will read and take action on it.

Seems like a small bar but this must happen within 30 days or less and is a bit harder to pull off without using other forms of awareness. So you have until April 9, 2013 for this issue.

Give it a shot, and make this issue your first or browse the other issues and vote appropriately.

“We The People” Might still have meaning ! A great use of this technology we call the internet by bringing the Government a bit closer to its people.

Fugitive EX-COP Dorner Big Target – Are We Getting The Whole Story ?

The bad: This whole story looks like a Hollywood Movie.

Even worse: This sounds like a Hollywood Movie.

I do not like defending what most folks have already made their mind up as a guilty person fleeing the law. He may indeed be guilty of murder among other things.

First it needs to be said that I hope all that all that has been said about this individual is true. They have devoted a bunch of men and money and time to seemingly “make sure they kill him” and not take him in. Yes, it appears that they are after him in a way that will promote bloodshed in a firefight and clearly have the upper hand to do just that.

My experience in watching how the law enforcement deals with these alleged criminals has created some deep opinions about what I see and what the truth actually ends up to be when all the facts are sorted out afterwards.

I hope I am wrong with what I am about to say…

Something stinks here !!!!!!!

Whenever law enforcement, most especially the L.A.P.D. and F.B.I. make a bunch of demonizing statements to publicly slander opinion about an individual, there normally ends up to be much more behind the story. They do this to justify the enormous actions they are taking.

The more dangerous the alleged criminal seems, the more outlandish resources they can throw at the problem.

While I am not a conspiracy theorist, I only need to remind all of you that something here smells and folks are innocent until proven guilty. He indeed may be guilty but it does seem there is something missing in this story.

Somehow, I don’t think we are going to get the other side of the story from Mr. Dorner. I expect he will be killed while being apprehended whenever they find him.

They certainly have shot up the town when they think they found him, (a car not matching description with two Hispanic women not matching description was shot up pretty good) so I can guess that he will not be taken alive even if unarmed.

The question is who, after the fact, will do a complete neutral investigation of the facts. No one will be looking or asking for it, they have already convicted him in the court of public opinion.
