[quote=5yes]I am very concerned. Something is going on that is way deeper than what we see on the news.
So what is going on exactly? Anyone else have any ideas outside of the mainstream media blathering? Does Israel want the Suez canal? Do we? Or is there something else driving this?[/quote]
FOOD. Pay particular attention to nations like Saudi Arabia and Indonesia stockpiling grain, and making ag purchases that are treble or quadruple anything they’ve done before.
You’re seeing a new kind of resource war emerge, and this has nothing to do with raw materials or oil. If you watch the Fox or CNN reportage carefully, you’ll notice mention of the cost of food skyrocketing in places like Cairo and Alexandria.
If I’m Saudi Arabia, or Indonesia, I’m paying very close attention right now. And, you can bet your ass, so is China. China has banned news of the Egyptian uprising within its borders. You cannot even search the word “Egypt” there right now.
Personally, I could give a shit if any of these assholes is friendly to the US or not. We should have learned our lesson from the Shah of Iran, or Marcos, or Somoza, or Batista. You can only pull this oppressive, totalitarian shit for so long, before you find yourself swinging from a lamp-post. If the Muslim Brotherhood thinks they can do a better job, let ’em try.
