A tender scene of the hero kissing his love is followed by an abrupt battle scene with blood spewing everywhere.

      So it is with your post which shifts from a largely informative summary of Mubarik's "sudden" health woes (well, not really, he has long been suspected as suffering from cancer) to a conclusion that shadowy figures want "a police state with a highly technological information gathering grid system directly aimed at the free movement and activities of every man, woman and child."

        What in the world are you talking about?

And you've pulled out a giant tinfoil hat on this one. I think I'm in love. Hold on, I'll go get the popcorn and refill my bowl.

of the "globalists". The stress of being the victim of a military coup is hard on a deposed dictator. After all, Mubarak didn't seem like a health conscious sort of guy and the coup may have put him over the edge. I wonder why the military kicked him out? Perhaps he tried some "iron fist" tactics an one of his generals and he miscalculated the general's survival skills. Shit happens! The capitalist class is always up to some imperialist antics however, an invasion of Iran is probably not in the cards any time soon. The Iranians are a tough lot and a successful invasion would require help from the "gangsta capitalists" in eastern Europe. Cutting deals with eastern European thugs is dicy at best. You can never be certain about who the Muslim Brotherhood is working for but you can be sure that they are up to no good. They are quite unstable at best. The rest of your post is run of the mill conspiracy tin hat shit. The globalists that you mention are just the plain old running dogs of capitalism busy exploiting the middle and working classes of the world.

He's currently tending to his 140-billion in assets; oh yaah, 70-billion is known and may be frozen in Switzerland and elsewhere, but for the most part, if 70-billion was stolen, then I am sure there's a lot of other assets in places nobody else knows except for Mubarek and his mafia organization; its like Bernie Madoff on steroids; this guy is much bigger and much more powerful.  And he's been doing it for 30+ years!!!!  The neat thing is though, what things like Facebook are starting to do is create a sort of solidarity among the lower classes who are fed up with the crooks at the top.  Heck, Goldman Sachs tripled their salaries for all the board members 2 weeks ago; the CEO is at a cool 2-million not counting the 100's of millions he has already received in bonuses.  Lets be real, Goldman Sachs and the other Federal Reservist banks bought the presidency; shit, Timmy Geithner is a NYC Fed Reserve puppet.   We need an Andrew Jackson, an  Abe Lincoln, a Charles Lindberg, or a JFK badly.

died the first day of his retirement. It's quite possible that Mubarak is also on his deathbed because he couldn't handle being ousted (outted? lol).

But, who cares? It isn't like he's going to get back to his high-falutin' gov't job anyway.

One of the characters in Pogo (not sure if it was Pogo himself) used to refer to Politics as "Parlor Tricks."

including whether or not he might be dying. I was pointing out that people sometimes DO die from losing something very important to them. Schultz was the first who came to mind.

Jeez, Mein; don't read into it more than what's there. I'm deep about certain subjects, but not politics.
