- If Egypt's secularists are going to allow themselves to be represented in the media by supporters of the generals, civil war is inevitable.
#Egypt No more Egypt , it is a civil war . I hope that I am wrong but all indications consider that.
Egypt coup reinstated the old system, which will explode again before year end

Published time: July 12, 2013Egypt needs to completely reorganize its political system, but the Egyptian ‘Google generation’ is not going to be part of solution, as the armed forces are back in power just like in post-Mubarak times, journalist Pepe Escobar told RT.RT: Now we are having two rival camps riling across Egypt today. Where is this situation heading? Is it too early to talk about the dangerous prospects of the civil standoff?Pepe Escobar: Its [Egypt’s] “ungovernability” is to the limit, in fact. The basic is that Egypt cannot feed itself. They have an annual deficit of over $20 billion. Before that we had the Emir of Qatar writing the checks, now we are going to have Saudi Arabia and the Emirates writing the checks. If they need money from the IMF it’s going to be another $2 to $3 billion max. We should have been negotiating for almost a year, it’s not enough.

6 While I was watching, another beast appeared. It looked like a leopard, but on its back there were four wings, like the wings of a bird, and it had four heads. It had a look of authority about it.
7 As I was watching, a fourth beast appeared. It was powerful, horrible, terrifying. With its huge iron teeth it crushed its victims, and then it trampled on them. Unlike the other beasts, it had ten horns. 8 While I was staring at the horns, I saw a little horn coming up among the others. It tore out three of the horns that were already there. This horn had human eyes and a mouth that was boasting proudly.2 The beast looked like a leopard, with feet like a bear's feet and a mouth like a lion's mouth. The dragon gave the beast his own power, his throne, and his vast authority.16 The beast forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, slave and free, to have a mark placed on their right hands or on their foreheads. 17 No one could buy or sell without this mark, that is, the beast's name or the number that stands for the name.18 This calls for wisdom. Whoever is intelligent can figure out the meaning of the number of the beast, because the number stands for the name of someone. Its number is 666.2 Thessalonians 2:6-8
6 And now you know what is restraining him [from being revealed at this time]; it is so that he may be manifested (revealed) in his own [appointed] time.Everything is going to explode all over again in three, four, five, six months, before the end of the year, in fact.7 For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until [a]he who restrains is taken out of the way.8 And then the lawless one (the antichrist) will be revealed and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by His appearing at His coming.Germany is Leopard. UK is Lion. Russia is Bear. Leopard's wings is France.
European leaders in June agreed to hand the ECB powers to oversee all 6,000 euro-area banks from Jan. 1, 2013, as part of a so-called banking union that would unlock joint recapitalization funds for the region’s ailing lenders. The ECB said today that while the necessary regulation should enter into force on that date, operational implementation would occur gradually over the course of 2013 with “full implementation by Jan. 1, 2014.”The new rules which will apply from 1 January 2014 tackle some of the vulnerabilities shown by the banking institutions during the crisis, namely the insufficient level of capital, both in quantity and in quality, resulting in the need for unprecedented support from national authorities. The timely implementation of the Basel III agreement features among the commitments taken by the EU in the G20.The new framework sets stronger prudential requirements for banks, requiring them to keep sufficient capital reserves and liquidity. This new framework will make EU banks more solid and will strengthen their capacity to adequately manage the risks linked to their activities, and absorb any losses they may incur in doing business.Furthermore, these new rules will strengthen the requirements with regard to corporate governance arrangements and processes of banks. For example, a number of requirements are introduced in relation to diversity within management, in particular as regards gender balance. In addition, in order to tackle excessive risk-taking, the framework imposes tough rules on bonuses.What we are seeing now is nothing compared to what is going to happen in six months’ time. We still have the same problems. The Muslim Brotherhood was neo-liberal economically. This new government is going to be neo liberal as well. You have to completely reorganize the Egyptian system upside down. It’s impossible, because they cannot feed themselves, they cannot earn money from anything, they don’t produce anything that the rest of the world wants to buy, except of selling their tourist assets. There are no tourists going back to Egypt, especially now, after the coup, that is not a coup, according to the Obama administration. So it’s a dead end.
The European Parliament and member states agreed on specifics of European Central Bank (ECB) oversight of eurozone banks on March 19, 2013; however, no agreement has been made regarding an EU-wide common deposit scheme, with the solvency of national deposit guarantee schemes irrevocably tied to that of the sovereign.

RT: What should be done to avoid the worst case scenario?PE: The worst case scenario was put in movement after this coup, which was not a coup. We can see the coup as a pre-emptive military coup. In fact, the Supreme Council of the armed forces is back in power just as it were in the immediate post-Mubarak time. So we have the old system again, these people who have been controlling Egypt for the past sixty years. They don’t have new ideas. The people who have new ideas would be the Egyptian “Google Generation”. Some of them are leftist, of course, but they aren’t going to be part of the solution, they are not going to be offering their solutions for the people who will be governing Egypt from now on, which is the same old gang.RT: What's ahead for Morsi? We see allegations popping out that he has escaped from prison two years ago with the help of Hamas.PE: Not only in Egypt but also in Syria the popularity of Hamas is not going very well. A lot of people say that Hamas betrayed Syria because of Qatar. Khaled Mashel, by the way who is in Doha, is very friendly with the Emir of Qatar. A lot of people in the Middle East are repulsed by that. As for the Muslim Brotherhood, they are trying to reorganize their forces. They see it as a setback, the set back is not only going to be in Egypt. It’s going to transfer to Syria, to the West, especially to the US. Also the Saudis they are thinking: “We don’t want a Muslim Brotherhood post Assad environment, if ever we get to that place.” So they are going to be marginalizing Syria as well.The statements, views and opinions expressed in this column are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of RT.
