Egypt: Shots Heard Near Presidential Palace

The Guardian reports:

“Shots sound like they are coming from the east of the city, Peter Beaumont says. Tracer rounds from heavy calibre weapons suggest they are military. Bursts from the direction of the airport and Heliopolis – where the presidential palace is located. Tanks seen moving fast eastwards.”

  1. Shots in the vicinity of the presidential palace, huh? That's a sure sign that things are heating up!

    Is Mubarak hunkering down in the Fuhrerbunker, or is he getting ready to split? If he bails out, he can always access his Swiss bank account later. . . .

  2. Talk about the ultimate hypocarcy that know limits:
    World leaders call on Egypt to implement reforms
    "
    BERLIN – German Chancellor Angela Merkel and several other heads of state urged the Egyptian government on Sunday to implement democratic reforms and to stop any further violence against protesters….
    But the French President would win the prize:
    "French President Nicolas Sarkozy, speaking at the African Union's regular summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, said that "It is with friendship and respect that France will be on the side of Tunisians and Egyptians in such a crucial period."

    "Our conscience needs to be pricked by the cries of innocent victims and move us toward finding a workable solution to prevent further suffering," he added.

    1. Merkel, Sarkozy and Obama constitute a Greek chorus parroting each other. The people in the street aren't interested in that baloney as they get shot by Mubarek's bullets. Together with Biden and Clinton they call for non-violence but condone official violence in the name of law and order when occasional looting breaks out. Often the looting is instigated by State security and intelligence agencies so there is an excuse to shoot. This has been the pattern for 30 years but thanks to the revelations by Wikileak and al Jazeera the public knows that Mubarek the dictator and the kings of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait and the Arab Emirates have been secret western agents. This has the makings of a real revolution and Mubarek and his western allies are trying to take the edge off of it. Tank fire is a sign of it.

      1. Actually the people of those countries have known these were nothing but stooges for the west.

  3. This one is easy to call: The Eqyptian military led by Suleiman will take control, promise elections, then postpone them forever, ala Mushariff. How do I know? The entrenched have been circulating that obnoxious aussie zionist puke, Martin "Pindick" Indyk, to all the media conduits. Pindyk's saying military control in the short term will be necessary. Hilary Clit-ton etc (and their slick half-black houseboy) are under orders that this is necessary to protect the ZE. They will not be permitted to make the same democracy mistake they made in Palestine in 2006. NFW.

  4. In 2009, Foreign Policy magazine ranked Suleiman as the Middle East's most powerful intelligence chief, ahead of Mossad chief Meir Dagan.____In an observation that may turn out to be ironic, the magazine wrote, "More than from any other single factor, Suleiman's influence stems from his unswerving loyalty to Mubarak."____If Suleiman succeeds Mubarak and retains power, we will likely be treated to plaudits for his distinguished credentials from government officials and US pundits. We should remember that what they really mean is his ability to brutalize and torture. As Stephen Grey puts it:____But in secret, men like Omar Suleiman, the country's most powerful spy and secret politician, did our work, the sort of work that Western countries have no appetite to do ourselves.____If Suleiman receives praise in the US, it will be because our leaders know that he's the sort of leader who can be counted on to do what it takes to restore order and ensure that Egypt remains friendly to US interests.____ http://www.counterpunch.org/
