za3'raty ya tafeeeeeeeddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Can I get a Za3'rota please?!
(Za3'roota :- the seemingly impossible uvula-tongue control which makes an even more impossible sound. Done by Egyptians -usually women- as a show of joy and celebration. It really sounds like an African tribal shriek. The one they do before sacrificing the kill. We don't have pom poms so we do with what we've got.)

wwwwweeeerrrreeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeeeeerrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee

Why you ask?!

CAUSE THERE'S A MAN IN DA HOUSE YO!

Let me calmn down a second and explain...

According to this.... this happened:

ثم سمعت عن احد جنود الامن المركزي والذي وقف في وجه زملاؤه واعلن انه لن يستمر في الضرب وطالب زملاؤه بالتوقف
فما كان من الضباط الا ان انهالوا عليه ضربا واقتادوه بعيدا

Translation bleez?

"Then I heard of one of the Central Security soldiers who stood in front of his colleagues and declared that he would not continue in the beatings and asked his colleagues to stop. With that, the officers did not but storm him with beatings and took him away"

Come on everybody... clap with me!!

"werrr ya werr ... werr ya werr..

kaman marra! .. hezz ya wezz... hezz ya wezzz"

hehehehe.. now THAT is A MAN! I don't know who that soldier was but hell I'd dedicate a whole site to him. Fuck, I'd give him all my money! (well not all.. but a sweet lot anyway) Seriously, if I was in a demonstration that turned violent and I see one of the riot police getting beaten up because he was trying to defend me.. help me God I'd kick the shit out of the officer beating him. I'm dead serious. I'm spontatneously combustable. And a scene like that would spontaneously combust me. I'd act without thinking and fuck yes I'd beat the fucking shit out of that officer (and then run and run and run - and wet myself).

If ANYONE knows ANYTHING (who the hell am I kidding I haven't had any visitors since I started the blog) anyway.. If ANYONE knows ANYTHING about that soldier kindly leave a little comment below please. Please.

So Where and When did this happen?

Last thursday (14th July) during a Kefaya demonstration in Abdeen Square. Apparently it was one of their bigger demonstrations which later turned violent. The theme of the demonstration was "Enough Unemployment" but naturally noone would miss the chance to bark at Hosni Baba and the 40 (more like 4,000?) thieves. I've looked everywhere for anything about that soldier but till now I've got zilch.

UPDATE: According to this guy..

من أبرز ما شهدته المظاهرة الحاشدة، رفض أحد جنود الأمن المركزي ضرب المتظاهرين بالعصي وصراخه "كفايه".."كفايه" بشكل هيستيري.. حتى أحاط به الضباط وأنهالوا عليه بالضرب وسحبوه إلى أحدي سيارات الأمن المركزي ليكملوا الإعتداء عليه إرهاباً لزملاء له عبروا همساً عن تعاطفهم مع المتظاهرين.

Translation:

"Amongst the more prominent incidents witnessed in the demonstration was the refusal of one of the Central Security (riot police) soldiers to the beatings with sticks against the protestors and his screaming "Enough!! Enough!!" in a hysterical manner. The officers then surrounded him and stormed him with beatings and dragged him to one of the Central Security vans to continue assaulting him. They did so to terrorize his colleagues who secretly expressed their sympathy with the demonstrators."
Adly you fuck. Let me see you do your own dirty work yourself without terrorizing these helpless people. Let me see you come down here man to man you mother fucker. And all those officers. FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUU. GRRRRRR >:( One of these days... one of these days.Also that same guy said that after dispersing the demonstration some of the crowd got together and started another demonstration. He said that 21 riot police vans came up to them and started beating them. He said some of the officers tried to repeat what happened the day of the referedum i.e. abusing the women in the demonstration and that when one reporter from the french "Le Monde" newspaper, caught on camera a Central Security Major attempting the same abuse, the Major attacked the reporter (called Karim el Fawaal) and called on helpers to beat him and break the camers which caught him in the act.GGGGGGGAAAAAAAA33333333333333333............... Come here you.... lil' johnny wanna play wid you round bum... YOU FUCKING FAGGOT! Damn I wanna bark!

Anyway.. here is news regarding the demonstration (Go baby Go!):

*From Al Mesryoon

Police violence turns Abdeen's demonstration into a battlefield
(kinda exaggerated don't you think. Manalaa.net usually has more accurate accounts) Summary: Demonstration started off with chants against unemployment and then turned into an anti-Mubarak demonstration. Riot police surrounding the demonstrators in cordons (encirclements). Demonstrators trying to go down into the square. Police turned violent. Beatings started. Several injuried and cases of unconsciousness. It was difficult to control the crowd which forced alot of high profile security officials down to the scene: incl. Cairo's head of security General Major Nabeel el Ezzaby. It was Kefaya's biggest demonstration to date.

Police denies the injured Abdeen demonstrators medical assistance
Summary: Violent clashes cause some cases of injuries and unconsciousness. There were no ambulances although there were thousands of soldiers and demonstrators. Riot police soldiers did not allow the injured and unconscious demonstrators out of the security cordon except after orders from the officers. Even then there were no ambulances and volunteers had to drive them to the nearest hospitals.

SSSsssseeexxxxxxaaaayyyyyhhhhh !!

So I was actually at home AND out of my room (which doesnt happen very often) when I hear my mum talking to herself...

Mum: What is he...WEARING?!

(I am a curious little fuck so I go over to the TV and see.. well I'm stuck for words..)

Me: Who is that?!

Mum: He's the editor-in-chief of Al-Gomhuria

Me: He's the new guy?! (I burst out laughing and she couldn't help it either)

Mum: Yes! But I get the feeling he's gonna crack a joke and they'll start drumming "pum parraa rumm pumm... pumm... pumm" in the background after it!!

Me: Hehehehe.. we have a digital camera somewhere here don't we?

Mum: Yeah .. what do... (I interrupt)

Me: Great! (I run off to find it)

Mum: Come on .. its alright.. the guy is just wearing soirée.. he's gonna stir up the night (ye7yee el layla)

(LOL!!)
My imagination goes wild... I immediately start imagining him grabbing a mic thrown at him from nowhere and jumping on to the couch and singing while waving his hands in the air (like 'e jus' don't Kare yo):

"YALLA HOPPPAAA 3'AANNOOO MA3AAAYYAAA"
and on the same note as "el bett bayda.. bayda baydaaaa"... he says,

"El LAYLAA LAYLAA ... LAYYLLAAAAA LAYLLAAAA

EL LAYLLLAA LAYYYLAAA.... WANA3MEL EIIIHHHHH

YA WA7AWWEEE YA WA7AAAWEEEEE ......

HOOPPPAAAAAAAAAA.....!" (LOL)

snap back to reality.. I start taking shots of him.. I just feel these small moments everyone should share in..

Here see for yourselves.... The pics didnt come out all that ... so I have to direct you to take special notice of the suit .. YES that's glitter alright! The fucking stripes were all glitter 'n shit!




hehehe.. glitter 'n shit.. the guy was shinning! (Hehehe haga dala3 we na3'na3'a keda)

So this is the new editor-in-chief for Al Gomhuria?! Hehehe.. Good Luck!

Now all you bitches will start quacking about how I shouldn't judge him by his suit and bla bla bullshit like that.. I have to quote Simon Cowell on this one:

(In his bwi'ish accent) "I jus cAUn' ake yaw sewiously.. dwessed like 'at !!". It's fucking glitter man!

Don't you know, pimp it up... you've got to, pimp it up

First thing's first.. I haven't completed the translation of the "Confessions of a judge - Ahmed Mohammed" (previous post) .. too busy at work. Will get to that soon enough..

But for today's thought..

You know a few years ago I wouldn't have given a fuck about the NDP.. I would have been too young anyway and probably would have vaguely recognized only a handfull of names of their members.. It just wasn't something that I cared much about... Now that they've caught my eye.. well.. I dunno .. I think they'll regret it..

But if there's one member I'll NEVER forget.. It's this guy.. I like to call him "My Republican Pimp" .. "3arsy el Gomhoory".. Yes you've guessed who it is.. It's no other than our loyal NDP puppy-with-whiskers-and-donald-duck-lips.. The pride of our nation.. The official Pimp Daddy of the Nile.. Ze one 'n Ze onlyyyyy.. Safsooooof

This guy is special. They say he was the *DA MAN* whenever the government needed dirt on famous names. I don't think anyone in Egypt is oblivious to his honourable role in the Egyptian Intelligence. But does anyone really know the details of our ol' chap's story?

I decided to check him out myself. And then there was this. Basically it is an Investigation Report dated 1968, taking Safwat el Sherif's testimony, investigating allegations of disgracefulness of the General Intelligence Bureau.

According to the report (and Safwat's testimony) Safwat was involved in managing hired women-"delegates" whose jobs were to lure important men to sleep with them in a pre-equiped room so that he and a few colleagues would be able to take pictures and record videos of them from a neighbouring house. It is important to mention, however, that the orders to do this did not come from him but from somewhere above in the chain of command ( i.e. a Hassan Aleesh and ofcourse the notorious Salah Nasr). This fact made me feel somewhat sorry for our friend because:

1) The guy is a victim of the never-ending conflict between the end and the means. Everyone wants their country safe, but the question is how far are they willing to go to make it safe. People will blame the authorities that they were unable to catch a terrorist group, or were unprepared for an attack, but at the same time they criticize the same authorities for going to lengths to getting essential information. The real problem lies when the authorities simply get out of control. That's what happened in Abu-Ghraib and over 30 years earlier in the Egyptian Intelligence Bureau. Its easy to call him a pimp, ( Yes I guess that makes me a hypocrytical bitch ) but the fact is, Pimp Daddy O was watching over your ass.

2) He was only doing his job. I don't see anything to suggest that he was personally enjoying this nor to suggest that, had he the power, he wouldn't have put a stop to the operations that got out of hand. Also, the concept of pimp in Egypt is somewhat different than in the US for example. While somehow the pimps in the U.S. seem to be proud of their title (click here (thanks) or even better, check out this), being a pimp in Egypt is synonymous to being a filthy low-life faggot with no sense of masculinity as opposed to the macho Eastern woman-protecting male that one is expected to be. In other words, "pimp" in Egyptian vocabulary is VERY degrading as a predicate noun. That cleared, I felt from his testimony that it was almost out of pure conviction for the country's safety and full belief that some dirty work was necessary to protect the country, that he emraced this degrading role. Maybe I'm too naive. But in any case the guy was doing his job. And I can almost safely say loyally. P.S. I'm not being sarcastic, I really think he did it believing that the end fully justified the means.

Anyway that is long gone and we can argue about it forever. What interested me, however, was that the issue was no longer him being a pimp.. as I had previously thought.. He wasn't just ordering his women around.. The guy was supervising the fucking recording.. which if you think about it.. makes him more involved.. something more in the lines of a porn producer not a pimp! (Don't get me wrong I'm still not accusing him of anything really, orders are orders) But what I want to underline here is that.. this guy is our Shura-fucking-Council chairman!! Is it ME or does that sound scary?!

I don't know about you man, but when my Senate is headed by an ex-intelligence officer who was heading the porn-production department, something is FUCK-A-LOGICALLY wrong. Again I'm not blaming him.. if anything this guy showed some die-hard loyalty. But even so! Dirt is dirt, and while it may sometimes be necessary, while he may have stooped low in good faith for the security of the country (assuming thats what it was), it does not by any means guarantee that he will not stoop even lower years later when he is at a higher position. The higher you are, the lower and more insignificant morals and values look when compared to the general "common good". Help me God I cannot find any justification to assigning an ex-porn-producer, the leadership of a governmental body that was established to protect, amongst other things, ".. the main factors of society, its higher values (should I laugh or cry?), the general rights and freedoms..[etc..]".

Is this the message they want to send out? Kill, rape, torture and pervert for the security of the country to prove yourself worthy of working with us in running it. So are these the people running the country? I guess now you know what to do if it ever crosses your mind to run for a high post.

Hehe, isn't it also ironic that he, amongst all the others, should be the Minister of I.n.f.o.r.m.a.t.i.o.n a few years back??

Wait a sec.. If the pimp is the head of the Shura Council.. what does that make of its members?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... sweeeeeet!!

This is the one

I wasn't planning on another post today but this one struck me bad.

I'll translate it tommorrow if I have time. Must remember to spam all newspapers with it.

A judge who was part of the committee overlooking the proceedings of the referendum wrote this. God with him. :-

إعترافات قاضي - أحمد محمد

لقد أحزنني جدا و هالني ما تم من تزوير فاضح للاستفتاء ، بل و قتلني كمدا و غيظا ما رأيته من تهليل إعلامي غير عادي لما حدث و تصويره – و بكل بجاحة - على أنه إرادة الشعب المصري و ذلك على غير الحقيقة التي رأيتها بعيني و هو ما دفعني لكتابة هذه السطور

أولا أعرفكم بنفسي ، أنا قاضي مصري ، انتدبت للإشراف على الاستفتاء في أحدى اللجان و سأوضح في كلمتين ما هي الانتخابات في مصر حتى تستطيع فهم كلامي الذي سيليهتقسم اللجان الى نوعين :

1- لجان فرعية و هي اللجان التي يوجد بكل منها صندوق انتخاب و المفترض أن يكون رئيسها قاضي يأخذ الأصوات بحيدة دون تحيز و يطمئن على وضعها في الصندوق و إغلاقه في نهاية العملية الانتخابية الساعة السابعة مساءا ثم فرزه بمعرفته شخصيا و تسليم النتيجة إلى اللجنة العامة

2- اللجان العامة فهي تكون لجنة مكونة من قضاة أيضا تشرف على حوالي مائه أو مائتين لجنة فرعية ، تأخذ منهم النتائج و تجمعها و تعلن النتيجة على مستوى هذه اللجنة ، ثم بعد ذلك تجمع كل النتائج بمعرفة الجهة التي تدير الانتخابات و تعلن النتيجة على مستوى الجمهورية .أما ما حدث في هذا الاستفتاء الظالم ، أنه قد تم بالفعل ندب 11 ألف قاضي و وكيل نيابة و عضو هيئات قضائية مثل مجلس الدولة و النيابة الادارية و قضايا الدولة ، و لكن هل تم توزيعهم على اللجان الفرعية ؟

لا ، لم يحدث هذا بل أن الذي حدث أن تم توزيعهم على اللجان العامة و على نسبة لا تتعدى 3% من اللجان الفرعية ، ثلاثة بالمائة فقط ، أم باقى كل هؤلاء القضاة فقد تم وضعهم احتياطي لبعض ، فمثلا رئيس اللجنة العامة له أربعة رؤساء محاكم احتياطي له لا عمل لهم – الا المساهمة في زيادة عدد القضاة حتى يبدوا الأمر كما لو كانت الانتخابات تحت الاشراف القضائي الفعلي .

هذا عن رقم 11 ألف قاضي ، أما الكم الأكبر من صناديق الانتخاب أي اللجان الفرعية التى تأخذ أصوات الناس بالفعل ( حوالى 97% من هذه اللجان ) فقد وضعت تحت رئاسة موظفين غلابة من الدولة ، لا حصانة تحميهم و لا يجرؤن على عدم تنفيذ أي أمر ، و صدرت لهم أوامر صارمة من جهة عملهم و من مأموري أقسام الشرطة بتزوير الانتخابات ، فكيف حدث هذا ؟

كيف تم التزوير ؟

ما حدث في كافة اللجان ( باستثناء الكام لجنة اللى فيهم قضاة ) أن الموظف رئيس اللجنة ينتظر حتى قبل موعد الاغلاق ( مثلا حتى الساعة سبعة الا ربع ) و تكون اللجنة التى تتكون مثلا من سبعمائة اسم ( الأسامي المدونة في الكشف للمقيمين في هذه المنطقة الذين لهم حق الانتخاب في هذه اللجنة ) تكون هذه اللجنة ، كل من حضر من هذه الأسماء حوالى عشرة مواطنين فقط ، هذه هي النسبة الحقيقية للحضور ، فيقوم رئيس اللجنة قبل الاغلاق بملء خمسمائة قسيمة انتخاب أو ستمائة مثلا كلهم بعلامة "موافق" مع مراعاة مثلا أربعة أو خمسة بعلامة " غير موافق" .... حتى تكون محبوكة يعني ، و وضع هذه البطاقات الانتخابية في الصندوق ، ثم التأشير عشوائيا على ستمائة اسم في الكشف و تقفيل اللجنة بهذه الحالة .... فيكون حال هذه اللجنة التى لم يحضر بها سوى سبعة أو عشرة أشخاص أن نسبة الحضور بها ستمائة مواطن و عشرة مثلا ، قال منهم 8 أو 10 غير موافق ، و قال منهم 600 موافق ... كل هذا بعيدا تماما عن رقابة القضاء الذي يجلس في اللجان العامة و يفاجئ بالصناديق تأتية على هذه الصورة .

كيف عرفنا هذا ؟

من جلس منا – نحن القضاة – في اللجان العامة فوجئ بأن اللجنة الفرعية التى يرأسها قاضي يصل اليه صندوقها مع هذا القاضي و نسبة الحضور حوالى أربعة أو سبعة أو على الأكثر عشرين مواطن ، ثم يصل اليه الموظف الذي يرأس اللجنة الفرعية المجاورة للجنة القاضي و الحضور الثابت عنده ستمائة أو سبعمائة فكشفت الحقيقة الفاجرة التى يعرفها الجميع و لا يجرؤ أحد على اثباتها

و ماذا عن معلوماتي أنا شخصيا ؟

كنت عضوا في إحدى هذه اللجان العامة و فوجئت بأن (الكام لجنة ) القضائية (أي التي يرأسها قاضي) يأتون و صناديقهم بها عشرة أصوات أو سبعة و يقصون علينا كيف كانت نسبة الإقبال معدومة و لم يحضر أحد تقريبا طوال اليوم ، و أحيانا لم يحضر أحد نهائي

ثم تأتي أفواج اللجان التي يرأسها الموظفين الغلابة و الحضور عندهم 600 و أكثر ، بل و بعض هذه اللجان في نفس المكان الذي به اللجان القضائية ، ( مثلا لجنتين في بلد واحدة ) ، فكان الأمر مضحكا باكيا ، و صرنا جميعا قضاة و موظفين بل و ضباط شرطة موجودين نتندر على ما يحدث من تزوير مفضوح إلى هذا الحدأ

ما النكتة الحقيقية فهي أن الموظفين كانوا لا يتقنون التزوير ، فيكتب أحدهم أن الأصوات الصحيحة عددها مثلا 650 قال منهم نعم 650 و قال لا 20 ، فيغيظني غبائه و أقول له و أنا أراجع الأوراق قبل استلامها كيف وصلت لهذه النتيجة المستحيلة فيأخذ أوراقه و يذهب بعيدا لينقحها و يعدلها حتى تكون منطقية ثم يعود لتقديمها ، و من فرط غيظي و من وضوح هذا الموقف الفضيحة سألت بعض الموظفين رؤساء اللجان الفرعية الواقفين أمامي لأراجع و أستلم منهم النتائج ، قلت لهم " تعالوا نتكلم بصراحة ... الحكاية واضحة ، بيني و بينكم إيه اللي حصل " فقالوا كلهم تقريبا في نفس واحد " يا باشا حنعمل إيه ، كل الجهات و الشرطة و المباحث أعطوا الأوامر بكده ، قالوا قفلوا اللجان ، و النسبة مش أقل من ثمانين في المائة " ثم شرحوا لي طريقة التقفيل التي أوضحتها .

و قد عدت من هذا القرف الذي و بصفتي قاضي لم أعتاد عليه و لم أعتاد على هذه الوساخة المفضوحة ، و لم أشاهد التلفزيون في نفس اليوم ، إلا أن ما أصابني هو حالة عصبية بل حالة انهيار في اليوم التالي – و انا أحكي هنا بالتفصيل حتى يشعر من يقرأ بما شعرت به تماما – أقول في اليوم التالي وقع بصري ( عالصبح ) على جريدة الأهرام ، و هالني ما رأيت من صفحات من الكذب الصريح و المباشر و وصف "التفاعل الشعبي" و "الإقبال الجماهيري" و "الشعب الذي تحرك ليقول نعم و رفض السلبية" و "الإشراف القضائي الكامل"

آة يا كدابين ، آة يا كدابين يا ظلمة، ده حرام ، محصلش ، ظللت أصيح و أقفز كالمجنون ، لقد كنت هناك ، لقد كنت هناك ، كم مرة سمعت عن كلام الجرايد ، و عن الحقائق الخفية وراء ما يقال ، و لكن هذه أول مرة أشوف بعيني بهذه الطريقة و بهذا الافتراء و الفجور

يا سادة ، ماحدش حضر ، محدش راح الاستفتاء ، و الله ما حد راح الا عدد لا يكاد يذكر كلهم تقريبا من عتاة كلاب الحزب الوطني ( أمين الحزب هنا و هناك ، بتاع المحليات ، عمدة تحت السيطرة ) أما الشعب ، فلم يحضر أحد ، يا سادة محدش راح، و لا حد وافق ، و لا كان فيه إشراف قضائي كامل و لا حاجة

كمال الشاذلي يقول في التلفزيون نحن البلد الوحيد في العالم الذي تجرى فيه الانتخابات تحت إشراف قضائي كامل ( و هو يعلم الحقيق بل و أمر بها )

حسني مبارك هو الذي أمر بكل هذا و يجرى بمعرفته و أوامره

حبيب العادلي يطل علينا في الجرائد لامعا و مبتسما بثقة و هو الذي أمر بكل هذه القذارة

وزير العدل – مع الأسف – هو الذي أمر بندب كل هؤلاء القضاة مع توزيعهم بهذه الطريقة حتى يظهرون أنهم كثرة تشرف على الانتخابات و هم لا يشرفون و لا حاجة

أيها السادة ، هل هذه العصابة هي التي تريدون منها أن تستمر في حكم مصر ؟ الإجابة لكم ...

أما الشيء المهم ، بل و المهم جدا جدا جدا ، هو كيف تعرف أن كلامي هذا صحيح و أن هذا هو ما حدث فعلا ، كيف تتأكد من صحة هذا الكلام و أنه ليس أكاذيب مدسوسة؟

الإجابة بسيطة و يمكن لكل شخص أن يتأكد بسهولة ؛ ألا تعرف وكيل نيابة ، أو قاضي أو عضو نيابة إدارية أو مجلس الدولة أو هيئة قضايا الدولة ، أكيد تعرف حد من دول أو لك قريب أو جار أو صديق أو صاحب قريبك أو أي حد ، فقط اسأله بصورة شخصية بينك و بينه عن هذا الكلام أو أطلعه على هذه الرسالة ، و سيقول لك ما أقوله بالحرف ، فكلنا ( القضاة ) ( عددنا حوالي عشرة الآف ) نعرف الحقيقة و لكن لا أحد يستطيع قولها بصورة رسمية و إلا يضيع ، فقط اسأله بصورة شخصية و سيؤكد لك كل كلمة قلتها ، و إن لم يفعل فأنا كذاب ، و لكنه سيفعل و سيعرف كل إنسان ما حدث.

أتمنى أن تصل هذه الرسالة إلى كل إنسان في هذا البلد الذي تحكمه عصابة من المجرمين ، فيرتاح ضميري الذي عرف العذاب لأول مرة في ذلك اليوم ، و أكون قد كفرت عن هذه الجريمة التي شاركت فيها مضطرا و أتمنى أن يسامحني الله عليها

ختاما : مساعدتك ... و دورك أيضا ، أن ترسل هذه الرسالة لكل من تعرفه ، و من لا تعرفه أيضا ، حتى تظهر الحقيقة و يعرفها الجميع

I guess deep down no one is really surprised. But when it comes out so clear and slaps you in your face... from someone so reputable... someone who's SEEN it.. someone who was PART of it... someone on the other side of the wall... it just slaps you in the face man, it slaps you bad. Unconciously you WANT to believe the newspapers... their bullshit... their rosey numbers, their "he did this" and "she did that"... you wish deep inside maybe you were wrong.. maybe we ARE getting better... fuck it... these mother fuckers need some ass spanking.

Symptom 1: Hallucinations & Optical Illusions

So this article I was reading on The New Republic (TNR) was talking about how screwed the Egyptian Media is. It basically classified Egyptian media into two areas: the larger pro-government ones with the usual "NDP bullshit" and the much smaller anti-government ones with a little more genuine bullshit and some hypocritical toppings to go with it.

What was interesting was that the article compared how the two "interpreted", if you will, Condoleezza's visit and Bush administration's stand point regarding democratic change in Egypt.

Just to straighten things out, I've read all of Condoleezza's speeches/addresses/interviews in Egypt and they did NOT in any way endorse Hosni Mubarak's dictatorship regime. In fact, striking was this line which was repeated throughout: "The United States for 60 years did not look at the Middle East as it looked at the rest of world. We thought we were trading stability for democracy. And, of course, we have neither."

So in any way the NDP mfs hallucinated themselves into believing that the U.S. was somehow on "their" side.. I was browsing some pages and damn, take a look at this headline.
Talk about brainwashing. "2 + 2 = 5 if the party says its so". I guess there's a point in time when you get so used to lying it becomes a reality. More about that in another post.

As for the anti-government media, the article said, they attacked Condoleezza arguing that we did not need American or forgein intervention to deal with the "dictatorship" regime. What was really funny (and nicely pointed out by the article) is that if it wasn't for such effforts they would never have gotten away with the word "dictatorship". Seriously what the f are all these people on? I guess this is what George Orwell calls "doublethink": "To hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them."

But above all, this is the surprise: the Arabic article which had directed me to the TNR article in the first place, had this headline:

The New Republic: America has agreed to 6 more years of tyranny

Ufff whatever.

My first post.. not :P

This isn't my first blog.. but I decided to trash the previous one (ndpmyass.blogspot.com) and go for a more sophisticated blog name..

Bla la land!

Why "bla la" you say? Well there are several complex reasons for that which I will not go into..
and mainly because "la la land" was already taken.. Please feel free to spam her with rubbish so she knows better than to mess with me again..

Ok so why "la la land"? (if I ever get my hands on it)

'Cause that's where my deluded fellow countrymen live.. in "la la land" (aka bla la land aka Egypt) where the "la la officals" (aka bla la officials aka NDP fucks aka the government) babble babble babble all day and the "la la people" (aka bla la people aka brainwashed Egyptians aka 90% of Egypt) quack and quack and quack all day and where finally I (aka barkingboy for my personal safety) have to bark and bark and bark (and swear and curse and fight and swear some more) at their rubbish.

So I decided.. instead of swearing to their faces and risk being fed to something that really barks.. that I would do it the cowardly way and bark in the safety of my room pretending that my virtual "bla la land" was in fact the real bla la land.
