A crude video about the Prophet Muhammad that triggered an unprecedented outbreak of anti-American protest last week moved from being a YouTube obscurity in the United States to a touchstone for anger across the world through a phone call less than two weeks ago from a controversial U.S.-based anti-Islam activist to a reporter for an Egyptian newspaper.

On November 7th 1999, Egypt Air Flight 990 bound for Cairo 'mysteriously' plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, about 60 miles south of the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, killing all 217 people aboard. The Boeing 767-300ER exploded at 11,000 feet after 40 minutes of its take-off from Kennedy International Airport in New York. Controversy surrounds the crash to this day, but here is an interesting "series" of events or "coincidences", according to crash investigators:

Egypt is in a state of transition and it behoves Egyptians – Christians as well as Muslims – to seek to know the destination to which political change is taking them. Coptic Christians believe that Egypt, the land to which Nabi ‘Isa and his mother Mariam (‘alaihima al-Salām)were brought when they fled the Holy Land, has a special eschatological role to play when Nabi ‘Isa is to return. Muslims share with Christians the belief in that momentous messianic return with which history will end. Will Egyptian Muslims and Coptic Christians now seek to build a common ground with which to jointly resist those who are hell-bent on attacking not only Iran and Pakistan, but also Egypt as well? Egyptian Muslims must be reminded of the blessed Prophet’s advice regarding Muslim-Christian relations in Egypt

High prices have resulted in accumulations of inventories at the same time as people can't afford food," said Bar-Yam, who noted the Arab spring was triggered by the food prices. Necsi's quantitative model of speculation predicted the uprisings in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, and warned riots and revolutions will go global sometime between July 2012 and August 2013.

No real revolution of any kind will take place until people both understand the balance of power currently held in the world today and how to change it pragmatically rather than politically. Wall Street, a global tyranny of unprecedented proportions, will remain intact until we see them, not petty local tyrants or street hooligans and dupes as the true enemy, and the systematic boycotting and replacing of their degenerate, global domineering system implemented in full as the solution.

It seems to me that the Russian and Chinese refusal to veto the Security Council’s resolution concerning Libya was no accident. Rather I want to suggest that Russia and China decided, coldly and deliberately, to sacrifice Libya. As a consequence there was no obstacle delaying or preventing Russian recognition of the post Gadhafi government. If I am correct, then that deliberate sacrifice provides startling new evidence, like nothing else ever before, of their long-term strategic planning of allowing NATO to be sucked even deeper into what will eventually become a Middle East quagmire (i.e., a military grave-yard or cemetery) from which there will be no escape for NATO. Perhaps the Russian strategy is to wait until NATO is in the most vulnerable military position before it launches its attack.

Libya is the immediate opportunity. The Nato attack on Libya, with the UN Security Council assigned to mandate a bogus "no fly zone" to "protect civilians", is strikingly similar to the final destruction of Yugoslavia in 1999. There was no UN cover for the bombing of Serbia and the "rescue" of Kosovo, yet the propaganda echoes today. Like Slobodan Milosevic, Muammar Gaddafi is a "new Hitler", plotting "genocide" against his people

Mubarak wasn’t the only person they met in Egypt, either; the group also sat down with members of the opposition Muslim Brotherhood, which was suppressed by Mubarak’s regime. To duck the authorities, the Brotherhood’s representatives arrived at the hotel for their meeting through a back door, and the entire discussion was conducted with them on one side of a partition.

One of the least analyzed aspects of the Egyptian pro-democracy movement and US policy toward it, is the role of the influential Zionist power configuration (ZPC) including the leading umbrella organization – the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CPMAJO) – Congressional Middle East committee members, officials occupying strategic positions in the Obama Administration’s Middle East bureaus, as well as prominent editors, publicists and journalists who play a major role in the prestigious newspapers and popular weekly magazines.
