Egypt Enters Revolution Stage

Long time readers will know that I talk about the rise and fall of any society regularly. I am always most interested in the final stages of apathy, anger, and revolution and that is in full view in Egypt right now. As an athropologist I find all of this fascinating, thrilling and frightening all at once. It also allows us to see what might be coming to our shores and what the road head might lead to.

First, Obama has stumbled again by being WAY to cautious with his metered response. He reminds me more and more of Jimmy Carter every day, a great man but a horrible President. Carter will forever by linked to the fall of Iran by demanding the Shah relax powers which inevitably lead to his fall and the rise of militant Islam. The world was on the brink of another Nazi/Communist-like ascention and we did nothing. Now that idiocy has come back to bite us on the ass similar to North Korea or Pakistan getting nuclear weapons. Every day we come closer to the brink because pussies like Obama think we're all alike. We're not. Not everybody has a Western perspective. Egypt should have been forced to start adapting measures to ease poverty and unemployment. But as Obama has proved, he has no answers to that question as the same problems plague him at home. There are many simple step to actually do this but all of them will cause the rich billions and they're holding on that cash by tricking Tea Party idiots into voting for measures against their self interests.

We expect Egypt to have a democracy yet we don't have one here, not functioning anyway. Even if we did have free elections, people who support corrupt individuals on both sides of the aisle (cough, cough, Charles Rangel, hack, weeze, Tom Coburn) shows they cannot make rational decisions. It is for this reason I propose a new government type where you have to pass an IQ test to get to vote. As not to disenfranchise the idiots however, a special Representative should be elected which will make decisions for them. By this way everyone gets a voice and we don't have to sit through Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman's latest round of "who can outstupid the other." By the way, ALL politicians will have to take an IQ test as well. See how many become street sweepers if that were to pass. We need the smart to lead us into the next century, not the parade of dumdasses we have now. In more salacious news, the Enquirer is reporting an affair by House Speaker John Boener, WHHAAAA HAAAAA.

Egypt is on fire as we speak and it seems likely that the revolution will become bloody. Showing why I believe the stock market is no longer based in reality, prices rose today. Don't mind that oil prices should skyrocket soon and the economy nears collapse, everything's fine. Maybe we should have some of those IQ tests for Wall Street. Donald Trump's article in Newsmax explores the possibility he may run for President in 2012 and who is really worried about a coming economic collapse where he went over 12 reasons why it may happen this year. Find it on the Newsmax site to see a fascinating article.

The new government that comes to Egypt is likely to be much less friendly to Western powers, especially as the ammo used to kill them for the past thirty years has been provided by the US and Israel. This fact is further supported by the idiotic "made in the USA" stamped on every can of tear gas. Unbelievable but probably due to some asinine regulations that needs to eliminated tomorrow. The Muslim Brotherhood has said that they will end peace relations with Israel and Jordan's new PM is already being asked to step down for being too Western. Israel cannot be happy that all around them are collapsing governments whose new leaders are likely to be much more hostile toward them. The clash of civilizations I predicted decades ago appears to be coming to a head. I fear we have little time left. Prepare.
