UFOs’ conspiracy
I’m a bit confused about all of those Water and Electricity cuts. here is a chronological order to what happened which all in all does not make sense :
they accused Egyptian fertility rate, then Egyptian irresponsible use of
power during summer
then they have confessed that the network is out dated and can not
take all the usage rates.
Power cuts began to take place all over Egypt but in cases it lasted
for hrs and hrs
which the officials responded to as a usual maintenance procedures
critics of power and water cuts become so loud and people began
to protest as summer heat rises
Energy minister announces that there is no more power cuts, however
the power cuts continues
The ministry drops a bomb shell and announces that the power cuts
were not either because of the weak infrastructure or the people’s
birthrates but due to the Liquid Gas exportations to Israel !!
Coming to water it seems it’s not only a maintenance issue but real water shortage as the Irrigation Ministry had to open the High Dam doors to allow more water to flow into the Nile
So what is really happening in Egypt? who’s responsible for the water and power cuts? is it the naughty Egyptians high fertility rate or the deteriorating-31years- infrastructure or the irresponsibility in managing the country’s recourses or the UFOs????!!!!
Mubarak, Nazeef, Gamal ! I don’t want to wake up on a famine !!!

Another brick in the succession wall
Taken from Almasry Alyoum website
The Egyptians have fallen into the mice trap very easily and the home master now looking down laughing. Since the beginning of this month intellectuals and elitists been busy with the ultimate question whether it will be (The Father) or (The Son) or (The Ghost!!)**. At least 3 op-ed daily in local newspapers dedicated to solve this dilemma; each has constructed an argument to support how s/he induced the presidential forecast. The rest of the elitists have been more efficient and practical using their pens and voices to pitch about Egypt’s misfortune and theirs’ as well. Those intellectuals have wasted tones of papers and hours of broadcasting at the discourse about Mubarak jr. precision conspiracy theory till they became another propaganda tool for the idea itself. They –intentionally or not- repeated the name and stating the Almighty Gamal Mubarak is enviable backed up with their personal and political failures, humming the same depressing tune to the point public ears and minds been used to. All of the (independent) newspapers planting the seeds of the defeat.Egyptian now see the project as their fate and intellectuals have nothing more to say than ( we told you so)!!
Away from the intellectual scene there are much younger optimist youth that work more than they practice ( intellectual discourse), maybe they didn’t read 1/10th of the intellects have but they have more soul indeed.
Student been raised by a generation fed the fear of political Activism, torture practices inside the security establishment been like a pop stories. Those young women and men toured the streets/villages/cities trying to be – with their bare hands- the change they like to see in the world not wasting their time solving the riddle of whom is where and which is when !
Now I’m a disbeliever in all of those false prophets calling themselves intellectuals and a new convert to the youth faith which is mere believe in tomorrow.
** The Ghost: is the unknown 3rd presidential candid within the military establishment or the messiah!!

O.J Simpson Al-Masry
Egypt woke up on a high profile murder, when Egyptian TV-News-anchor shoot his wife. On the other hand, a highly profile murder means a good material for media and late talk shows; every party jumped on analyzing/discussing/interviewing/publishing the (cheesy) details of the (psychopathic) inner demons of the both the victim and the murderer. All of them trip into non-ethical and non-professional category and when I say ALL I mean ALL ! which leaves me wondering about how solid our media professionalism is ?!
While it’s a dead case; man murders his wife, confesses, detained, and waits for the trials (period) this,however, were not enough for feeding the hunger of 80% of poor Egyptian whose life lack any action other than late Thursday night (Arabic play) on TV.
analyzers and (people of knowledge) began to victimize the killer-and portrait the late wife as the villain 300 pounds- ghoul who deserved to be shoot at the head unmercifully- because probably she asked for it!
people followed the case as their favorite Ramadan soap opera, siding with characters based on which TV star they like better.
Misogynistic comments and attitudes filled the newspapers comment sections/facebook groups/ and TV talk shows, people thought that the b*tch deserves to die based on the fact she is:
1- Lower Class than her murderous husband
2-Fat
3-Not famous
4-Woman
and he is pardoned because he is
1-Educated
2-Famous
3-Upper Class
4-Not Fat
5- Man
and this may ring some bells to another high profile murder which public opinion sided on the same bases and lead to the freedom of the murderer; O.J Simpson.
Like US, our newly consumption-structured society, everybody tried to use the case to max the profit, even if it was on account of dead woman’s body. Al-Ahram, prestigious journalistic institution, joined the heap and allowed the (confessed Killer-husband) to publish his memoire with his (monstrous/Fat/Uneducated) wife, while trial procedures still ongoing.
My only explanation for such a tabloid-like move from the Ahram came down to two points:
First, using the (dead case) to keep the public discourse about the travail, 3nd class celebrity scandal for more distraction, away from “political & economic” chaos in Egypt, especially Ramdan is at doors and the prices is UP UP UP without reasonable cause.
Secondly, foolishly they counted the TV anchor, as he is a governmental news image , a part of “them” and they felt obliged to save the “system image” by clearing his name and defaming his late wife.
offering him free justification to slaughter his wife as they once before justified Khalid Said’s mureder which fell under the category of personal judgments, strip the victims from their humanity and representing them as a mad dogs should be shoot dead without shedding a tear.
This ordeal exposed the fig leaf over the misogynic community before the system, women before men, educated before uneducated.Adding, how the systematic socio-economic oppression of the women paid off well on producing mutilated society with low self esteem- self-hating women siding with a killer is happened to be MAN as his only excuse.
