A post from an Egyptian on Reddit:
Edited on Wed Feb-02-11 03:39 PM by sufrommich
Egyptian here, please upvote.

I have been making posts but for some reason they all never showed up under "new".

Note: Internet could go down any minute

Mubarak is hiring thugs to create chaos all around the country, and today is just the start of it tomorrow and after tomorrow a lot are coming in from different Egyptian cities. They were all paid from 50-100 pounds (yes people are that poor).
Thugs are throwing molotov from rooftops on top of protestors in AlTahrir
CONFIRMED Some of the thugs are central security police officers, some of them were taken by protestors and searched and IDs were found.
A lot of injuries.
Tens of thousands are on their way to AlTahrir.
Some sources are saying that Shafiq (the new prime minister) is going to resign soon.
unconfirmed It seems Egyptian Museum is on fire.
It seems the army can differentiate somehow between both sides and started throwing teargas grenades at the thugs.
Thugs turned off lights in AlTahrir Square and it looks like there is going to be a massacre there now.
500+ injured.
A lot of egyptians are sadly still brain washed by Mubarak's last night speech and they don't care about people in AlTahrir.
There are news that if AlTahrir isn't cleared by now people with weapons will go in and clear it themselves.
I am depressed.
... A major news channel on TV now got a girl talking about the protests in Egypt. Saying they were a group trained by American Jews and their plan was to use Facebook to organize protests, the government is turning the people against the US and Israel trying to get a common Enemy. I am speechless. Fuck the fucking retarded fucking idiots who believe this.
A lot of counter US propaganda, saying US will attack suez Canal, US and Israel are working together with AlJazeera to spread lies. And people are fucking buying it.
In AlTahrir needed: Alcohol, Betadine, Water, Plastic gloves, garbage gloves, plastic dishes, cotton, any old tshirts, anti-biotics, painkillers, Shaash
A lot of organizations happening right now directing people to head to AlTahrir Square.
What the fuck do I do? How do I fight what's happening right now?
The internet was back to get people's spirit down like for me, they didn't care if lies news were spreading around it didn't matter it was getting out anyway, they are playing on the people now and I Feel like they succeeded. A lot of the protestors are now Mubarak pros.
Protestors in AlTahrir are very few now, they are surrounded with armed forces everywhere only thing that's stopping them from entering is Army forces, which aren't that much.
A bloodbath it seems in Abd ElMen'im reyad Sq., protestors who were trying to join in AlTahrir protest are under heavy inhumane excessive attacks.
Here you go, you heard it here first. I know it's early and it didn't happen yet but that's how I see it. Revolution in Egypt is no longer a revolution. It ended in a bloodbath.
I think I lost my mind since I am starting to find this funny, but a semi neutral news channel reporter said that he saw with his own eyes and heard himself one of the thugs talking to an officer if I translate it I will try to use the fucked up US english that I know "yo officer, we did aright aright? gimme ma moneh naw"
The streets are surrounded with heavily armed thugs, if protestors leave AlTahrir is dead, they can't do it publicly since there are a lot of cameras on AlTahrir now.
Vice President is calling protestors to leave AlTahrir so they aren't on cameras and he can shoot them all.
Vice president says there will be absolutely no negotiations till the protests stop.
Shots are being fired in AlTahrir Square to break out the protest tonight.

Although this is the internet and we can't be sure of anyone, Redditors seem to know this guy and believe he's legit.

2. Mubarak learned from the recent uprising in Iran.
Defeat the protesters - and then, no change.
