Separately, Al Jazeera is reporting on emerging fears of a counter-revolution tonight, i.e. the possibility that the government will make one violent, last-ditch attempt to quash protesters once nightful comes to Cairo tonight.

Ladies and gentleman, may I present Howard Beale.
Helicopters evacuated the embassy staff to an Egyptian airbase on Friday, where they were flown back to Tel Aviv. The evacuation came after a group of Egyptian demonstrators passed by the embassy building, according to the daily al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper. Reports also said the Israeli ambassador, himself, has fled Egypt after the discovery by Egyptian security of a Mossad spy network in the capital Cairo. On Thursday, an Israeli minister, whose name was withheld, said Egyptian government forces will have to exercise force to rein in public protests as the country teeters on the brink of a Tunisia-style revolution.
INTERVIEW YOU WILL NOT SEE IN ZIONIST CONTROLLED AMERICAN MEDIA
They were told:
“ENTRY WOULD BE DIS-PROPORTIONATE”
The orders were to:
“CLEANSE THE NEIGHBOURHOOD”
“Every house gets a shell, that was our job…”
“We were to shell the top and shell the bottom…”
“The moment the tank hit the second shell, we see processions of the family walk out with children, with babies, with white flag on a stick….”
“We entered the city in a big hullabaloo…”
“The squadron… with a lazer marked clearly the houses that had to be shelled….”Alex Thompson has their story…
When we see Habitat for Humanity start to foreclose on clients because they can not even afford a no interest house payment.This says the Wall Street money addicts and the Central Bankers policies have hurt the poorest among us by inflation and no jobs. As the Oligarchs have their cigars and brandy toasting to a multi billion dollar bonuses off the backs of the poor. This is a grave injustice that must be corrected that is long overdue. This why we need to get rid of the Federal Reserve Bank.When there is no honest money anymore because the issuance of currency is out of the peoples hands and put in the care of private central bankers. That is when people get hurt and suffer to enrich the very few at the expense of many.
Speaking to protesters gathered in Cairo's central Tahrir Sqaure Sunday evening, opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei spoke to the crowds, and demanded regime change.
Addressing protesters through what appeared to be a megaphone, ElBaradei said: "They stole our freedom, and what we have begun cannot be reversed. As we mentioned before," he added, "we have a key demand, for the regime to step down and to start a new era."
"The military was greeted warmly on the streets of Cairo. Crowds roared with approval as one soldier was carried through Tahrir square today holding a flower in his hand. Dozens of people clambered onto tanks as they rode around the square. Throughout the day people chanted: “The people, the army: one hand.”

Unofficial Republican party presidential candidate and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a solid supporter of Israel, is en route for his 15th visit. He has said he probably will wait until summer before announcing whether or not he will run for president in 2012.
"Headed to Israel with family and friends. Looking forward to my 15th trip there," Huckabee's tweet read on Saturday, as results show him topping the polls in West Virginia and North Carolina.
Huckabee often has said that if the Arabs in Judea, Samaria and Gaza want a state, they can choose from among several Arab nations and that Jews, who are indigenous to the area, should be able to build wherever they wish to in their country.
ABSTRACT: While much has been written about how the Federal Reserve benefits certain private parties and how it generates money out of thin air, this paper delves deeper into the operation of the Federal Reserve as an instrument of war, and its historical role as a primary enabler of armed international conflict. A comparison is done with an analogous monetary institution, the Bank of Canada, to show that the Federal Reserve is being operated differently, with war being its chief historical focus.

The Capitalist Judaic (pyramid) system is at an end - will it go down peacefully?
When Khomeini took over in Iran, Saddam Hussein was encouraged to invade Iran. And similarly, when Israel is faced with losing a client state (Egypt) that helps imprison the Gazan people - Israel will take matters into its own hands.
Ambassador Rice has just demanded that Falk, the UN Human Rights Council's special rapporteur in the Palestinian territories, step down from his UN position. "In my view, Mr. Falk’s latest commentary [an entry in his blog about the media and 9/11] is so noxious that it should finally be plain to all that he should no longer continue in his position on behalf of the UN."
"What is happening to the Egyptian regime is a curse from inaction with the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza," said Abu Maheeb, a West Bank shop owner.
"The siege, hunger and death brought to the Gaza Strip by the regime is being recompensed at the hands of the Egyptians," he added.
"What is happening is an answer to the prayers of widows and orphans who have been left homeless by the regime's ban on construction materials and medicines."
"The removal of the regime will remove the tragedy and siege of Gaza, Allah willing."
Egyptian authorities have closed the crossing with the Gaza Strip indefinitely as its army deploys in the northern Sinai, a Ma'an correspondent said Sunday.
Repeated calls by Western leaders, including US president Barack Obama, for Egypt’s protest movement to refrain from violence are also significant. Never mind the utter hypocrisy of such exhortations by the US and other Western governments who have armed the Mubarak regime to the teeth and continue to support it in the face of mounting civilian casualties. The insidious follow-on from this rationale is that if protesters – more to the point agent provocateurs – engage in violence then Western governments can denounce the pro-democracy uprising, leaving it wide open to the heavy hands of the state forces.
National Inflation Association
The National Inflation Association believes that the United States has a college education bubble that is set to burst beginning in mid-2011. This bursting bubble will have effects that are even more far-reaching than the bursting of the Real Estate bubble in 2006. College education could possibly be the largest scam in U.S. history...

Egypt, an economic colony of the American empire, is burning. The hungry rabble, dispossessed by Mubarak’s thirty-year, American-financed dictatorship, is stirring.
“Enough,” they say. “Mubarak must go.”
Cracks are beginning to appear in the Mubarak regime.
Firing upon the vast crowds of protesters will not save him.
It’s too late for conciliatory measures like dismissing his cabinet or promising economic reforms.
The Obama Administration is in a bind.
Lenders cancel trials; borrowers surprised MINNEAPOLIS — Many people who sought help under a federal program created to keep them from losing their homes are instead saddled with huge, unexpected bills. Thousands now face a stark choice: Go deeper into debt, or foreclosure.
Lenders routinely approved short-term “trial” loan modifications that reduced payments for desperate borrowers under the umbrella of the Obama administration’s Home Affordable Modification Program. But lenders continued to count the mortgages as delinquent or in default.
Now instead of granting permanent modifications, lenders often are reinstating the original loan terms and demanding big back payments.
With a speed that surprised many here, and with equally surprising cross-sectarian acquiescence this morning, Hezbollah and its allies constitutionally toppled Hariri’s government, constitutionally imposed new consultations to form a new government, and constitutionally transformed a minority into a majority and vice versa.
Representative Darrell Issa calls it a way to promote transparency: a request for the names of hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens, business executives, journalists and others who have requested copies of federal government documents in recent years.
But his extraordinary request worries some civil libertarians. It “just seems sort of creepy that one person in the government could track who is looking into what and what kinds of questions they are asking,” said David Cuillier, a University of Arizona journalism professor and chairman of the Freedom of Information Committee at the Society of Professional Journalists. “It is an easy way to target people who he might think are up to no good.”
As street protests sweep Egypt, neighbouring Sudan watches nervously, faced with its own political and economic malaise, opposition calls for popular uprisings and the likely secession of the south. 10,000 people have so far joined a Facebook group calling for anti-government protests across Sudan today, the day preliminary results are due out for the vote on southern independence that is widely expected to split the country in half.
The call coincides with opposition leaders in Khartoum demanding a transitional government when the south secedes and as Sudanese eye events in Egypt where President Hosni Mubarak announced he had sacked his government and would pursue reforms.

You cannot kill a Turk with impunity -- this is the message to Israel from a Turkish movie that opened Friday, taking fictional revenge of a deadly Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound aid ship last year and threatening fresh political tensions.
Our talented Associate Carlos Latuff prepared all of the following to support the people of Egypt in their brave resistance to the oppressive government they have been living under. Feel free to use any or all of them on your Blogs or Websites. Use them on placards as the Cairo demonstrators themselves did.
Probably fearing a repeat of ‘leaks’ in tune with the ‘Palestine Papers’, Egypt shut down Al Jazeera’s operations this morning. Best to hide the truth so the people cannot be set free.
In a statement, Al Jazeera said it strongly denounces and condemns the closure of its bureau in Cairo by the Egyptian government. The network received notification from the Egyptian authorities on Sunday morning.
Thousands of people have taken to the streets in Gaza venting their anger at Palestinian negotiators for offering big concessions in peace talks. Meanwhile, Tony Blair accused those behind this week's leak of documents of wanting to inflict serious damage on the peace process.
About 3,000 joined a rally organised by Hamas in support of anti-government protests in Egypt. But speeches and the shouts of the crowd focused on the leaked Palestinian papers and fierce criticism of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah.
Reports emerging from Cairo, Egypt, make clear a Mubarak regime in downfall. Apparently the airport in Cairo is jammed, and Mubarak family members are reported to have arrived in London. The pattern for Egyptian Army units has been one of peacemakers and non-opposition to the protesters. The Egyptian Army appears neutral, but unwilling to crush government opposition.
Egypt observed one of its worst riots as more than hundred people died and the country watched a huge loss over the nation wide violence from last six days. US president Barack Obama personally called Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak to take necessary steps. Now, France, Germany, Britain follow Obama's path.
During a joint statement issued Saturday, Jan 29, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron urged the Egyptians to drop violence.
Al Jazeera reports Mubarak’s planning exile to Tel Aviv. According to sources in the Egyptian Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel is making preparations to welcome Hosni Mubarak into exile after Saudi Arabia rejected overtures.
His generals are turning on him. President Hosni Mubarak's two most senior military officials -- Omar Suleiman, the newly named vice president, and Field Marshall Mohamed Tantawi, the defense minister -- "raised with him the idea that he should leave," the Sunday Times of London reported last night, citing a source close to the leadership.
The FBI disclosed to a presidential board that it was involved in nearly 800 violations of laws, regulations or policies governing national-security investigations from 2001 to 2008, but the government won't provide details or say whether anyone was disciplined, according to a report by a privacy-watchdog group.
China blocked the word "Egypt" from micro-blog searches in a sign that the Chinese government is concerned that protests calling for political reform in the country could spill into China's internet space. Searches on Sunday for "Egypt" on micro-blog functions of Chinese web portals such as Sina.com and Sohu.com -- sites comparable to Twitter -- showed phrases saying search results could not be found or could not be displayed in accordance with regulations.
The United States told Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Saturday it was not enough simply to "reshuffle the deck" with a shake-up of his government and pressed him to make good on his promise of genuine reform.
"You see," the 50-year-old lawyer said, displaying the items. On the bottom of each were the words "Made in the USA."
"They are attacking us with American weapons," he yelled as men gathered around him.
Cairo A day after massive demonstrations against President Hosni Mubarak turned into raging battles with police, protesters remained on the streets of Cairo Saturday, confident that they could force the ouster of the president even as he sought to pacify them by appointing a new government.
The United States and Iraq started organising Sunday the evacuation of their nationals from Egypt as an angry anti-government revolt raged into a sixth day amid increasing lawlessness and mass jail breaks.
"The US embassy in Cairo informs US citizens in Egypt who wish to depart that the department of state is making arrangements to provide transportation to safehaven locations in Europe," an embassy statement said, as other countries issued travel warnings and scared tourists scrambled for flights out.
"We hope that guards, military officials and visiting delegations of Red Cross representatives, congressional members and journalists hear our cry for freedom," Abdulhadi reportedly told Kassem. Kassem added the prisoners have made signs and posters in English, now plastered on their cell blocks, asking "Where are the Courts?", "What About our Rights?", and "Where is Democracy?" Another Guantanamo detainee, who asked to remain anonymous, told the lawyer: "The construction work going on here is giving us the impression that we are going to be here forever."
All over the Arab world, as a precursor to, all over the world period, the psychic locks that have held the populations in stasis have now been broken. We are standing before the walls of a metaphorical Jericho. The sound of magical trumpets fills the air but no one is directly aware of them. They’re hearing something but they can’t identify it. The effect of the sounds, is to open areas of awareness and action that do not depend on the reflection and judgment of the people involved. It’s always like this when the world goes into one of its dramatic change modes. All of a sudden everything is happening, as if it were detailed on a blueprint or in a book and no one questions it because they are in the middle of it.
More than 10,000 protesters marched against authorities in Algeria's northeastern city of Bejaia on Saturday, organisers said, in the country's latest rally inspired by neighbouring Tunisia.
Demonstrators marched peacefully in the city in Algeria's Berber-speaking Kabylie region, shouting Tunisia-inspired slogans such as: "For a radical change of the regime!," a lawmaker with the opposition Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD), Mohamed Ikhervane, told AFP.
"The protest gathered more than 10,000 people," said RCD leader Said

Egyptian, Tunisian and Yemeni protesters all say that inequality is one of the main reasons they're protesting. However, the U.S. actually has much greater inequality than in any of those countries.
Amateur radio also known as Ham radio is a powerful wireless communications medium that has been around since 1901. In the decades since the equipment used for amateur radio has developed along with commercial radio hardware. The creation of the transistor in the late 1950s helped lower the cost of Ham radios which allowed them to become more widely available. Other significant advancements include the creation of repeater networks and the integration of microprocessors into radio equipment.
Many Ham operators use their radios in place of cell phones and land based telephone services. This allows them to save a considerable amount of money on their communication costs...
The scale of Egypt's crackdown on the Internet and mobile phones amid deadly protests against the rule of President Hosni Mubarak is unprecedented in the history of the web, experts said.
US President Barack Obama, social networking sites and rights groups around the world all condemned the moves by Egyptian authorities to stop activists using cellphones and cyber technology to organise rallies.
"It's a first in the history of the Internet," Rik Ferguson, an expert for Trend Micro, the world's third biggest computer security firm, told AFP...
The Obama administration statements reveal that it prefers stability in Egypt, no matter the cost to civil rights and human rights there, to freedom for Arab people. And why? Because Egyptian stability preserves the Israeli status quo, in which Israel gets to imprison West Bank protesters without a peep from the U.S. government and gets to destroy civilians in Gaza again without a peep from the alleged change-agent in the White House.
While the people of the mid-east rise in protest against their respective American supported dictators in Tunisia and Egypt, with the American-Israeli attempts to control Lebanon on the brink of chaos and collapse, and the “peace negotiations” between the Palestinians and the Israelis torpedoed by both Netanyahu and Abbas
What’s remarkable is how twitchy these people get at the slightest possibility that someone will lift the lid on 9/11, their hysterical protests serving only to deepen already serious suspicions.
In his latest Newsweek article Stephen Kinzer wonders who America is betting on to counter the popular rising forces in the Middle East : “The same friends it has been betting on for decades” he answers. “Mubarak’s pharaonic regime in Egypt, Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority, the Saudi monarchy, and increasingly radical politicians in Israel. It is no wonder that Iran’s power is rising as the American-imposed order begins to crumble,” he concludes.
The Egyptian authorities are revoking the Al Jazeera Network's licence to broadcast from the country, and will be shutting down its bureau office in Cairo, state television has said.
"The information minister [Anas al-Fikki] ordered ... suspension of operations of Al Jazeera, cancelling of its licences and withdrawing accreditation to all its staff as of today," a statement on the official Mena news agency said on Sunday.
In a statement, Al Jazeera said it strongly denounces and condemns the closure of its bureau in Cairo by the Egyptian government. The network received notification from the Egyptian authorities on Sunday morning.
"Al Jazeera has received widespread global acclaim for their coverage on the ground across the length and breadth of Egypt," the statement said.
Valerie Plame, a supposed whistleblower and activist who was outed by Dick Cheney minion Scooter Libby seems to contradict herself when asked multiple times whether she supports a new 9/11 investigation. At one point she actually says she CAN'T support a new investigation.
What does this mean? Is she being pressured? Why was Valerie at a meeting with such high level officials right after 9/11? Valerie also talks about her work on a film by the same producers that produced Al Gores famous bullshit An Inconvenient Truth. Clearly Valerie is either highly misinformed or simply another CIA lackey working to institute a world government.
Oh, the irony. Now this clip is enshrined on . . . the internet!
. . . and yes Katie; that includes the clip of you announcing the demolition of Building 7.
What is really going on with the Revolution in Egypt? Is this a rally of pro-freedom and democracy forces against tyranny? Or the hungry masses being driven by New World Order agendas to incite more international economic chaos as oil and food prices skyrocket? It seems this uprising may very well but a populist anti establishment cry for democracy!
Payday Monsanto, a truth musician has expanded his research and come to the conclusion that exposing Zionism is a MUST in order to really expose the so called New World Order Payday, alongside Mark Glenn breaks down Zionism and its effects on the world. Is Israel behind the uprisings in Egypt or are these protests a slap in the face to the establishment?
Abbas and his people were and are so overwhelmed by a sense of Realpolitik that they could think of nothing else to do by capitulate in stages. And in doing so they ended up giving away those things that made the struggle worthwhile in the first place. They were willing to accept the Bantustans, to give up almost all of Jerusalem, to turn their backs on 99% of the Palestinian refugees.
With the power shifting to the Arab people and away from their regimes, Arab governments may not be able to remain as silent and complicit as they have for years as Israel oppresses Palestinians.
Egyptians call for Mubarak's ouster at Tahrir (Liberation) Square in Cairo.
We are in the middle of a political earthquake in the Arab world and the ground has still not stopped shaking. To make predictions when events are so fluid is risky, but there is no doubt that the uprising in Egypt — however it ends — will have a dramatic impact across the region and within Palestine. -- Ali Abunimah
How strange to watch our CNN talking heads, especially the Israeli trained Wolf Blitzer, former editor of AIPAC’s in house “Near East Report,” stuttering before the cameras as he recalled the fall of the Shah of Iran, America’s staunch ally for 25 years, as a direct result of similar riots by Iranian civilians, and the resulting loss of America’s control in Iran. He failed to mention that our friend had subjugated the Iranian people beneath the boots of his SAVAK mercenaries that protected his elegant life style while the people suffered under his despotic regime. Then as now our Presidents spoke of America’s support of human rights neglecting to mention the CIA’s overthrow of the elected nationalist (1951) Mohammed Mossadegh as Prime Minister.
