Uprising beneath the surface? As Jewish people say, "from your lips to God's
ears". Of course, on this list, we get to read about the people who are
protesting, who are speaking out, who have been imprisoned for whistle
blowing, or whose lives have been turned inside out by our government as a
response to their protests. But it's such a tiny percentage of the populace.
Even voting. Did you hear Amy Goodman's statisfics yesterday? 17 percent of
Republicans are voting in these primaries. 11 percent of the Democrats are
doing so. You say that voting isn't the answer? Well, what percentage of
people are protesting injustice? What percentage protest our drone attacks
or our 800 military bases or our trillions of dollars spent on the military?

Bob,
Mostafa continues to keep me up on his writings. His English is much
improved over early efforts. It is interesting to read his
observations, as an Egyptian and as a Muslim. Below is the reply I'd
sent after reading his last post.
Carl Jarvis ******
Mostafa,
Having been born in Spokane, Washington, I am a citizen of the United States
of America. But I do not subscribe to the Corporate American Empire that
currently rules this nation. Perhaps it would be better to say that it
currently hold the nation captive. The babbling of those people wanting to
play at being President, is inconsequential.
The Military/Industrial Complex will bend any elected official to do their
bidding. But just as in your nation, there is uprising beneath the
surface. The USA is like a huge pot of boiling water. The Ruling Class is
doing all they can to keep a lid on the pot, but it will only be a matter of
time until the lid blows off.
Ruling Classes, the world around, never realize until too late, that they
have gone too far.
And remember, way back when Egypt was the great power in the world, that
Ruling Class was just as cruel and heartless with its masses as are the
current Masters. From the Roman Empire to the British Empire, to the
American Empire, and waiting in the wings is the Chinese Empire, all Ruling
Classes can be seen in the same light, cruel and oppressive. Greed drives
them all. Greed is the opposite of Love.
We have a common opponent it is Greed. Rather than pointing the blame at
one people or another, we need to join together and raise up a People's
World Government that respects all life and all people. But we can't seem
to get past bickering over whose God is the real God, or if there is a God
or not. We can't see past the color of another person's skin. We find each
others custom as "different", or offensive.
Meanwhile our Masters are leading us toward the brink of destruction.
If we can't resolve our differences and strike down our oppressors, all
those little differences will matter not in the slightest.

Hi all,
Here's an interesting piece from our old Friend Mostafa. I'd say this
is very much on point.

Whoever follows U.S presidential candidates closely, he will
unfortunately be stormed with enormous but unnecessary pride,
racialism, detest incitement,
bigotry and hostile rhetoric.
Please, I desperately demand to fervently pass on the subsequent
crucial post to U.S presidential campaigners.
For approximately fifteen consecutive years, you waged an alleged war
on terror.
Until this moment, your purpose from this war hasn't been gained and
it's unlikely to ever be.
You can't fight aggression with oppression.
War provokes nothing but war.
Your war on terrorism only brought further terrorism.
You will never be able to sabotage people with viciously imperiling
belligerence.
If you unfeignedly want to permanently end terrorism, you ought to
utterly decease aggression and military occupation.
If you won't do this, I promise you to see suicidal attacks
significantly heightening against you.
You won't be able to diminish the rest of the world.
Your leadership of the western world have excessively been failed.
You are globally viewed as imperious, incompetent, perfidious,
prejudicious and utterly despicable.
American people are about to distrust you.
You should stop deliberately denigrating each other on purpose.
Your strident remarks against each other have gained international rate.
Here is the big problem, you are inadequate to decisively substantiate
reliability because you are focused on denouncing each other in person.
Trust is never gifted, it's rather earned.
Either republicans or democrats, be more mature and wiser.
I am not one of those who find something precious in typical American
lifestyle.
Your bureaucratic manner is perfectly repudiated.
You are eminently contributing to the grave dissension of your nation.
Your broadcasted heat clashing debates are wretched in the slightest.
Stop building special interest and focus on U.S interest.
Your country is disposed, your on the edge of terrific economic
collapse, so be careful.
History proves that arrogant empires never last and you are not excluded.
To reach mutual interests and common ground is the major challenge
facing all of you.
U.S reputation is undeferential, people are disinclined to tolerate
your persistently jeopardizing temperament.
I hope you got the message.
Cordially, Mostafa, just a casual Egyptian citizen
