WHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WITH THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT?

We offer some guesses...

We think there's a high probability that President Mubarak is negotiating with the international community for a way to leave Egypt with as much wealth as possible and to find a safe haven in a European country that won't extradite him back to Egypt after a new government is in place.

We think there's a  lower probability that Mubarak will be removed by the military or perhaps be shot.

And, also in our view, we think there's a much lower probability that Mubarak will be able to hang on to power.

Of course, we're just speculating.  It'll be interesting to see how it actually plays out, and we don't think we're going to have to wait much longer.  Just a few days, perhaps.

Maybe you have your own speculations?  Put them up against ours by sending them to us. Please try to keep them short. Thanks.

Usual Israel Firsters in U.S. "shocked."  Paul will now probably be called an anti-Semite. Ho hum.

ELBARADEI: NO GOING BACK [TO MUBARAK'S CONTROL] IN EGYPT
Link
It looks more and more likely that Mubarak is going to fall within days.  Our guess is that Egypt will then have a weak interim secular government  but that this will fall and be replaced by a more Islamic government.

The CM PRESS doesn't believe that we are seeing a revolution in Egypt in which people are demanding a Western style democracy, but rather a revolution that is rejecting the West and its values.

The type of "democracy" that the U.S. tries to force on peoples around the world, is not always seen as the best form of government.

EGYPT BANS AL-JAZEERA
Link

Long time readers of the CM PRESS will note that we linked to Al-Jazeera a couple of years ago.  We did so because we don't believe citizens in the U.S. are getting all the important news from around the world that may affect their lives now or in the future.

More recently, we've linked to RT, a Russian news source, for the same reason.

We've also been looking at news sources from England and Ireland, but as of this writing we've not been pleased with the output of the sites we've looked at.  That may change as we continue to scan sites from those two countries. 

And, we may be adding links to sites from Germany, Australia and Israel in the near future.

What we don't want to do is provide too many links so that they all get lost in the crowd.
