Egypt's New Military Rulers To Ban Union Meetings

CAIRO - Egypt's new military rulers will issue a warning on Sunday against anyone who creates "chaos and disorder", an army source said.

The Higher Military Council will also ban meetings by labour unions or professional syndicates, effectively forbidding strikes, and tell all Egyptians to get back to work after the unrest that toppled Hosni Mubarak.

The army will also say it acknowledges and protects the right of people to protest, the source said.

2. What has happened was a fascist coup, not a revolution.
   
There could still be a revolution, possibly, if the Egyptian people do not remain vigilant. So far, it does not look good.

3. And of course, if they do have some type of new dictatorship...
   
we'll be buddy-buddy with it.

There's too much riding on this for the US to just give up that easily. We have to have the Suez open for business, so that we can get oil. We also need to have Egypt pacified so they won't cause any problems with Israel.

5. The military ruled Egypt under Mubarak and they still rule Egypt.   
   

The only changes they will make are those forced upon them in the streets.

4. No, Nazis haven't taken over Egypt. But let's loosely throw around the word fascist

against anything we don't like so that the term looses all serious political meaning and understanding.

We won't find any revolutionists or democracy protesters in Egypt that believe a "fascist coup" has taken power in Egypt.

Some people actually think we live under a fascism regime in the United States!!!!!

That's why they can post that opinion on Democratic Underground!

I can't openly post there. Does that mean Skimmer is a Fascist?

6. The Reuters article Common Dreams is linking to has no
   
mention of banning union meetings or strikes.

Don't confuse DUmmies with facts. They need lies to sustain their outrage, and they need their outrage to be happy.

If Egypt goes to revolution I wonder what will happen to all those DU threads about the Egyptians not having any guns?

Several posters throughout were trying to yell over the din that revolution was not good in and of itself.

Every warning was lost amid the but-this-time-it'll-be-different tripe.

If this goes bad how many will apologize ala Chavez and how many will pretend there is nothing to see?

One thing is for sure, none of them would dare say, "Maybe if Mubarak had stayed we could have exerted influence over time to liberalize their society."

None of them will lay the blame at Obama's feet, even though they are giving him the credit for Mubarack leaving.  If this fails, somehow it will be * fault.

In that respect, the DU has been rather closely tracking the same equally-stupid trend of so-called 'thought' in the MSM.

Wonder if Soros' portfolio was recently infused with a ton of Egyptian pounds?

CAIRO – The Egyptian pound has fallen to its lowest level against the dollar in roughly six years after 13 days of protests against President Hosni Mubarak have battered the economy.

The dollar was trading at roughly 5.947 Egyptian pounds by 11:30 local time on Monday — its lowest level since January 2005.

Tens of thousands of anti-government protesters have been demanding Mubarak's ouster, in a show of defiance that largely crippled the country for more than a week.

Banks reopened on Sunday after a weeklong closure, but the stock exchange has yet to restart.

Two weeks ago, the Egyptian pound fell in two days of trading around 17 percent as the protests unfolded in the Arab world's most populous nation.

This would be a conspiracy if he hadn't done it over and over and over before.

I asked in another thread about Soros, if people don't think he holds the puppet strings they're naive.
