Radical Islam in the USA - What a Day!

Today Congress is debating what is labeled "Radical Islam in the USA" in the Homeland Security commission and I wanted to just say something:

1. I believe that the US government uses scare tactics to keep the US population under control. That stupid Kosovar who shot Army Personnel at Frankfurt couldn't be timed any better. Who paid him I guess? Every time someone in the corrupt government wants to forward an agenda they do some silly thing like that and the People of the USA are the ones who pay for it, this time it was two Patriot Soldiers in uniform.
2. For the people in Orange County CA I say that the USA has reached a feverish pitch of hatred and bigotry against Muslims (or like some people like to pronounce it MOO-Z-LEEMS). I want to tell you and everyone in the USA we really can't go anywhere we are American born and bred and THIS IS OUR COUNTRY.
3. Let's assume that we can remove all brown skinned people out of this country the Health Care system will collapse so will some of the most successful corporations. Muslims, Arabs, and Asian Immigrants are an economic force in the USA. The percentage of true blooded Americans who work in these fields unfortunately is low.
4. Racism and racial profiling coupled with entrapment and other illegal tactics used by the FBI, DHS and other Government Agencies and Departments to target Muslims and other Arabs and Asians in this country will only make us more angry. In my opinion, most of the accusations leveled at us are fabricated and not true. I also beleive that the Murdoch Media keeps trumpeting it up like no tomorrow for financial and other interests.
5. For once I will say it, I came to the USA because I believe in the Constitution of the USA and the freedoms it provides. I also elected to become an American Citizen at an age after living in Egypt for 30 years. I say to all of those in the US Congress, FBI, DHS and every other marginal government department that I consider myself more patriotic than any of those who acquired their citizenship through an accident of birth. This does not put in question the patriotism of others but to reinforce my own.
6. The fall of Egypt's SSIS is proof that this terrorist threat has been over blown to keep Egypt's corrupt government in place.

I will vote ALL corrupt politicians out of office and will continue to work within the democratic system until it fails. This the only tool I have today.

Egyptian Army Cracks down on Unarmed Protestors

It appears that all politicians and especially dictators like the deposed one in Egypt have some kid of a personality disorder. They all claim, some more vocal than others, that people are not capable of this that or the other. The deposed Egyptian dictator and current Egyptian Police and Military claim the Egyptians can't rule themselves democratically.

Here is a revelation for you, in my opinion, people are born free and democratic as evidenced by the Libyans, Egyptians, Tunisians that are still struggling for freedom. It is the dictators that have this weird dependency on power and the need to stay in it. The struggle is not for the welfare of the people rather the welfare of the ruling elite.

Egypt is fighting Police and Military dependency on being elites, rulers and masters of Egypt. This creates a pharaoh syndrome and then it is a struggle to ween them off this dependency. To have them finally acknowledge the fact that they live among equals does take effort and sometimes blood. It is evident in Tunisia, Libya as well with the extreme case being Libya.

It is also unfortunate that the western hemisphere is not immune to the pharaoh syndrome. Washington, for example, is doing its level best to make us believe that we really need them yet they are squandering our money, mortgaging our great grand children's future and costing us jobs and our quality of living is suffering. To remove a corrupt politician take effort and a lot of work to organize and campaign against them in an election but still could be done. People must take charge of their destiny and vote for what they believe in if you don't go to the polls then you end up with people like Blago in IL.

Libya - Oil I don't Get it?

Libya produces 2% of the world's oil and gas, its production goes mostly to Europe and specifically Italy. Since the February 17th Brnet Crude went up over 25%, I don't get it 2% reduction eauivalent to 25% price increase some trader is making tons of money here and we are all being penalized. I guess we will have to bail out some rich Wall Street Bankers once more. I will never vote for a corrupt politician!

Egypt Mr. Obama Just a note of caution!

The status quo in the form of the Mubarak appointed Government is still in the country. People are demanding the removal and overahual of the whole system of government. Media is still state controlled and corruption is rampant at all government levels. The current military council has no reason to change the status quo, it is in their best financial interest.

The political landscape of Egypt and the Middle East is far more colorful than what Mubarak sold you. There are for sure "Islamists" yet i still fail to understand what this stupid term means if it is theocratic Islamic then of course there are those. But there are staunch Marxists, communists, socialists, moderate Muslims, left wing Christians, Left wing Muslims, right wing Christians, right wing Muslims, separatists, secularists, pan Arabists, Nasserists and other don't care-ists......etc.

The continuation of the status quo in Egypt and the fact that Mubarak's media hounds are still in control must end and fast. The demands of the people must be met or we will end up with a socialist to communist Middle East. Mubarak sold the USA a bag of goods and we paid him handsomely for it over thirty years.

Egypt needs the people to focus on a transparent civil democratic society that will create jobs and open opportunities for its people. There are those who will take advantage of this situation but the USA must stand on the right side of history and stop supporting oppressive regimes in the region.
