Don't Forget How All This Started!
The Egyptian government is complaining that the demonstrations are hurting the economic life in Egypt (banks closed, transportation, communications, shopping malls, …). I just heard an activist on Al-Jazeera being all defensive regarding this accusation, saying that it is not the protesters’ intent to hurt the economy; that all they want is for Mubarak to go away.
What the fuck! What the hell are these revolution leaders and activists exactly saying and doing? God damn it! Yes, bring the Egyptian economy to a halt! This is exactly what the revolution is about! How else are you going to remove the dictator? The army is NOT on your side! Stop day-dreaming! The army is in Washington’s pocket!
Can’t they understand that the reason why Obama and other western powers are pushing for “quick change” in government towards “democracy” is precisely because the economy is hurting, and by economy they mean their private investments! The US and Israel don’t give a fuck if Mubarak rules Egypt with one party, or whether the country is run by a billion political parties. What they care about is their investments, including Israeli investments in securities and the other securities!
And when the Egyptian economy is halted, who exactly is hurting? The poor?! The 40 million poor Egyptians?! Of course not! The ones who are hurting are the dictator, his mafia and mercenary thugs, and his bosses in DC and Tel Aviv!
Hurt them! Hurt the fucking economy! Whatever you do, do not stop the demonstrations! Do not evacuate the streets of Egypt! Do not clear the roads for private cars to go to school or work! SHUT THE FUCKING ECONOMY DOWN! … SHUT IT DOWN! GOD DAMN IT! … This is the only weapon you have! And more importantly, it is the only weapon you need to bring down the regime!

poor people never had an economy to begin with. big corporations must feel the impact of the revolution now and today, so that they will think twice b4 planting their crap in Egypt or in any other country again.
Posted by Josephine | February 5, 2011, 8:12 pmMind you ..shutting down the economy hurts the people who are already hurting the most.
Posted by Sana | February 5, 2011, 8:35 pmThe House did that the other day by attempting to exacerbate healthcare costs by repealing the Affordable Care Act. .Additionally the economic problems facing the country mainly stem from a shortage of demand in the economy. Pulling roughly 40 billion out of the domestic economy removes demand from the economy.
Posted by Monex | February 5, 2011, 11:38 pmSarakenos: You may be correct in your assertions that the Egyptian 'revolutionaries' should shut the
economy down, thereby causing financial discomfort to investors; however, with all due respect,
your reckless use of the "F" word and other profanities to express yourself in a public forum is,
IMHO, innapropriate.

Posted by Ooo | February 6, 2011, 9:33 amI think this an inconsiderate post. We shouldn't be the ones telling the Egyptians who've been in the streets for 13 days about their economy from the comfort of our living rooms here in the US. Yes, it is not the intent to shut down the economy. It is about the socio-economic problems and lack of political liberties. The end goal is not to make the living conditions of Egyptians worse, it is about regime change. I agree with the activist and totally disagree with the author who I finally is totally disengaged and insensitive.
Posted by Sam | February 6, 2011, 12:31 pmThe elite have to be hurt !! their homes, businesses, etc, have to be identified and then burned to the ground. THAT is what will get action from mubarak – hit em where it'll hurt them and that is to cost them money and lots of it.
Posted by kiwichris | February 6, 2011, 2:56 pmTrue but the elite have already enough money for cushion. Not to mention, this is not a social class revolution.Many of the protesters came from Zamalek and Mohandesein, both are upper class neighborhoods. The government is hurt not just from the economy, but mainly by the number and courage of the Egyptian people. Let's not make a judgement on what they should do from our sanitized view in the US.
Posted by Sam | February 6, 2011, 6:22 pmIt's true that many of the protesters are from upper class neighborhoods, but they came out to support their brothers and sisters in their overwhelmingly lower class nation. You are a delusional liar for saying that the government is hurt by the number and courage of the Egyptian people. You know what the government thinks of the people? Watch how they trampled the people with police cars, camels and horses, and shot them with live ammunition. The word "courage" does not exist in their dictionary.

Posted by Sarakenos | February 7, 2011, 2:44 amEgyptian economySince the beginning of 2005 Egypt s economy has improved considerably due mainly to a reformist government. The economy grew at a 5.1 rate in 2005 and the new measures have inspired a wave of enthusiasm in the business community.
