U.S. making plans to fly Americans out of Egypt

CAIRO — The American Embassy in Cairo said Sunday it is making arrangements to begin flying Americans out of Egypt on Monday, as an outbreak of mass looting added new dangers to a nation rocked by protests seeking an end to President Hosni Mubarak's rule.

The U.S. government warned that Americans should consider leaving Egypt as soon as possible as residents of Cairo were taking steps to protect themselves against the spreading lawlessness.

The United States and Turkey offered to evacuate citizens wanting to leave and major airlines including Lufthansa and Air India said they would send additional planes to Cairo and Alexandria...

Witnesses reported scenes of chaos at Cairo Airport, as people, including Egyptians, tried to catch a decreasing number of flights. For those Egyptians who had no hope of getting out, the increasing danger was lawlessness and looting...

2. A security state with unjust actions for political gain that is not defensible.
Is not lawful, nor is it order.

That is PR. They call chaos Order, they call lawlessness with corrupt leadership as lawful.

They called the patriot act about patriots.

That is label trap, and part of Orwellian thoughts.


When ever they use the term lawful, or chaos or order regarding that situation, it is to spend the meaning in those words and attach it to a side the PR thinks by their perspective is what they want.





Side note, I am still due beer and travel money.

4. They have to get out all their CIA/Mossad assets, the merc torturers,
the war industry "advisers," the embassy code experts, the sex traffickers with US sponsors, the whole sorry lot of them. But bring them all back here? Shudder.
