For Thierry Meyssan, the Turkish people are not protesting against Recip Tayyeb Erdogan’s autocratic style, but against his policies; in other words, against the Muslim Brotherhood, of which he is the mentor. What started on Taksim Square is not a color revolution over a new building project, but an uprising that has spread across the entire country; in short, it is a revolution that calls the “Arab Spring” into question.

An outsider’s perspective

The day Mohamed Morsi was elected as the first civilian president of Egypt in June last year most reform minded people were hopeful. With many leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood Morsi spent many years in prison. No doubt they would do everything to change this ‘society of paranoia’, wouldn’t they? In his first speech as elected president Morsi also promised to form an inclusive government and to appoint a female and a Coptic vice-president. The main question back in June was how Morsi would deal with the army. In a ‘mini-coup’ the army curtailed the president’s position and absolved the People’s Assembly.

With the country’s second post-revolution parliamentary polls around the corner, Egyptian opposition parties are stepping up their opposition to what they see as Egypt’s “undemocratic” electoral setting, arguing that the current legal and political environment is not conducive to free and fair elections.

Unmasking the brotherhood: Syria, Egypt, and Beyond

The complexities of the Arab Spring and the struggle for political freedom throughout the Arab world should not obscure what has now become an absolutely essential understanding for all anti-imperialists: the Muslim Brotherhood is one of the most powerful weapons of the Western ruling class in the Muslim world. While that may be a difficult pill for some to swallow for emotional or psychological reasons, one need look no further than the insidious role the organization is playing in Syria and the abuses of power and human rights of the government of Egypt. In the US-NATO sponsored war against the Assad government, the Muslim Brotherhood has emerged as the leading western-sanctioned force, the avant-garde of the imperialist assault. While, in Egypt, President Morsi and the Brotherhood government seek to destroy what had been, little more than a year ago, the promise of the revolution.

The decline and fall of the Muslim Brotherhood

To chants of “Command, command oh Badei, you command and we obey,” the Muslim Brotherhood in power was fast mutating into the very caricature of itself as painted by its bitterest enemies. Its easily mobilized, effortlessly bussed loyalists, happy to throng in their thousands in typically malevolent and horrifyingly brutal defense of policies and decisions they knew nothing about, now stood in stark contrast to the “new Egyptians” born of the revolution they made – a brave, free and rebellious people who bow to no one, and for whom the very notion of “obedience” is anathema.

Aims of Meshal’s visit to Gaza

Objetivos del viaje de Meshal a Gaza
9th December, 2012
Un día antes de salir para Gaza vía Egipto con apoyo del tambaleante gobierno integrista de Morsi, el jefe del buró político del partido integrista Hamas Jaled Meshal se ha reunido con su jefe político y financiero y anfitrión, el jeque qatarí Al Tani para fijar los objetivos de su viaje. Al Tani ha ordenado a Meshal que recupere el control sobre la parte de Hamas partidaria de integrar el frente de la resistencia junto a Siria y Hezbollah, que disuelva el brazo armado de Hamas, que organice la reconciliación política con los corruptos de Al Fatah y de la Autoridad Nacional Palestina, que ofrezca secretamente a Israel todo tipo de acuerdos aunque en público denuncie a la entidad sionista y que contribuya al esfuerzo de guerra del frente imperialista contra Siria.

Catching the tumult of a revolution on camera is virtually impossible — especially a revolution like the one Egypt which rolls on with no end in view. Another revolution in revolution is unfolding. The Chinese cameramen have caught some fantastic visuals as the banks of the Nile begin to heave again with seamless human passions. The Xinhua photo album is here.

Qatari tyrant gets red-carpet reception as Israel bombards Gaza

El tirano de Qatar recibido con alfombra roja en Gaza mientras Israel bombardea
22nd October, 2012
Los enemigos del pueblo árabe se han repartido armoniosamente los papeles. Mientras la aviación israelí asesina selectivamente a los dirigentes y patriotas recalcitrantes que no quieren reconocer la ocupación de la Palestina árabe por la entidad sionista con el aval del imperialismo occidental, el tirano emir qatarí Al Tani es recibido en la franja de Gaza por los dirigentes de la filial palestina de los Hermanos Musulmanes, el partido Hamas. Además los escuadrones de la muerte dirigidos por Turquía y la CIA asesinan a revolucionarios palestinos hermanados en el combate glorioso de Siria contra el imperialismo y el sionismo. El FPLP ha salvado su honor al declinar participar en la comedia de recibir con “honores” al tirano sangriento Al Tani al que le chorrean las manos de sangre del pueblo libio, sirio, bahreiní y yemenita. El imperialismo puede dominar y dividir a las masas árabes gracias a la intervención de petrotiranos como Al Tani que dirigen entidades tan artificiales y neocoloniales como Israel. Al Tani se presenta en Gaza con las maletas llenas de petrodólares con los que sobornar a los dirigentes de Hamas.
