EGYPT MUST MAKE RULES/GUIDES FOR ANY ELECTIONS!!!
(WRITTEN 2011)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)
If we are not careful and thoughtful we as Americans will miss the most important part of this Revolt in Egypt! It is not so much that the revolt resulted in the apparent stepping down of a known brutal tyrant, as it was that it happened without a shot being fired.
In addition, the Egyptian citizens need to be aware that in the democratic transmission to a new leader the presence of American corporations in their country holds not only a great financial wealth (threat,) they hold the propensity to make elections look as if it was an exercise of fools and children. Then there is the Egyptian Military. America alone has invested over $80 billions of dollars in Egypt's military. Therefore, the combination of the corporations and the military really do control and run Egypt! At this very time this power block is plotting and scheming on how to make this election out come to the benefit of the wealthy and the powerful. That is the American way of practicing Democracy. This is just another election waiting to be bought by the wealthy and powerful. Things seem to be changing but really everything will remain the same. At best the Egyptians will get a government that has the military and cooperation with the power to tell the new puppet leader what to do!
American business in this nation in transition is a greedy, amoral, profit-making beast in need of controls. Get and keep these criminals out of the election process!
First, Egypt must make it a crime for business to buy excess propaganda/political ads that grab the minds of the citizens. In addition, there needs to be limitations on the amount of money any one candidate can have and spend. Then there is the problem of equal access to the media and its satellites. No deliberate lie should be able to pass the smell and taste test of “just being a political statement!” Maybe the loss of a foot, or an eye or a hand is too little punishment for the deliberate killing of the mentality of citizenry to think on the truth of an issue or situation.
In order to have any chance of getting fair election American needs to make available a team of honest, reliable people to assist Egypt through these times. A team to include people like such as, Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, Ion Sanches, Jesse Jackson, William Gates, President Carter, Arnold swatzaneger, etc.. MSNBC should be sent in to be sure that at least one national media will shine a light on the situation!
President Obama is doing an excellent job at trying to influence this crisis in Egypt. However, America and the world are probably being bamboozled, pimped, and punk out by corporations and the Egyptian military.
