This post is large, interesting and important. It is a gem of relevant information. It is a masterpiece. Please do me, and yourself, a favour and read this. As Posted by Omar Cherif, CLN, Conscious Life News:
Exactly one month ago in Egypt, hundreds of thousands of anti-Morsi protesters marched from Tahrir Square to the presidential palace in Cairo to say ‘NO’ to the obviously flawed Islamist constitution, which later developed into a peaceful sit-in that lasted for several days. After that the numbers decreased and many went home, the protesters were ferociously attacked by the Muslim Brotherhood pro-Morsi followers who were herded into the area in buses from all over the country. Five people were killed in the clashes, and tens were injured as their tents were vandalized. Some were even brutally tortured including women, doctors and an ambassador just because they were in the area.
What was really fascinating to me is that Obama and Hillary Clinton were praising Morsi only 10 days earlier. In fact, Essam El Erian, an MB figure who’s the vice chairman of the Freedom and Justice party and Morsi’s aide, was just visiting the U.S, most probably to take new instructions on what to do towards that massive growing opposition in the street. What a shame that the U.S is so openly praising theocratic dictatorship which is so openly annihilating those who oppose it. And what an even worse shame was the media blackout on the events by CNN, BBC, and The New York Times who featured a photo with the caption “A Muslim brotherhood protester healing the wounded” when the whole world knows that the only armed people who killed and terrorized the anti-Morsi protesters were the Islamists. Not surprisingly, there was also lack of reporting from the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera.
I really wanted to do something about this selective and bias media so I wrote the following on the 4.3-million-subscriber CNN Facebook page as well as I sent it in private messages to the pages of BBC World News and The New York Times. Also below is my comment to someone who was asking why the blackout happened. I linked my few words to an ON TV live coverage of the Egyptian presidential palace where the protesters were being attacked by armed, bearded militias – the U.S’s new allies in Egypt. In addition, I sent them this YouTube video of a friend of mine who had a truthful message for western media about the matter.
“Hello there, since you’re not interested in covering what’s really happening in Egypt, this is a live footage where you can see millions of freedom seekers who are protesting against Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood and their flawed constitution. A few days ago, their armed “supporters” attacked those peaceful protesters, killing 5 people and injuring and torturing many others. All this and Obama and Clinton were praising Morsi! I suggest you learn from history and what happened to Mubarak, all the agendas will never stop the will of the people. Power will always, always be to the people as we all know. I just hope you wake up and stop deluding and twisting public opinion.”
