Clingy!

What do you expect from psychopaths? They cling to power until the very end. Hell will now ensue... Mubarak will only leave as a cadaver. His logic must be that he's already 82-year old & pretty sick. Must go out with a bang, thus. Power is quite addictive.

What was Glenny referring to-? The video was taken down so I'll have to look it up separately but I need more info to find it.

The PTB should tremble in fear. The movie "V for Vendetta" occurs to me here. Just pull some quotes out from that!

This is the best argument yet for why all the hysterical wailings about the Muslim Brotherhood are ridiculous.

And what that article said about Global Octopus-- yeah. However, due to climate change and peak oil-- what's worked for decades will fall apart. This is just the beginning. In Egypt part of the problem that led to this was wheat prices getting too high for the poorest to afford to eat. On top of all the other problems, it was the final straw when the regime beat up protesters and social media did the rest. Hungry people fear starvation over brutality. Classic example was the French revolution-- super high wheat prices. As food prices climb worldwide due to failed crops and oil shortages-- this sort of thing is going to become more common.

And the internet and cell phones make it easier for many people to overcome even the best attempts by despots and corporate puppets to keep the status quo.

Oh yeah, the PTB should be quaking.

Glenny was being himself; citing a huge conspiracy theory by Islamists & Communists. He told anyone disagreeing with him to 'Go to Hell'. He is now using the sexual harassment of Lara Logan as further proof of his theory. He is one delusional clown. Then again, senile McCain thinks that these revolutions are a virus. *shakes head*

It really bothers me that extremist crazies (worse, GREEDY extremist crazies) like Beck are not only being given a stage because outrageous claims bring in viewers, but that there are SO many viewers that take his craziness seriously!

It a *head desk* moment.

Here is a somewhat related quote from the IT industry.

"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." - Rick Cook
