Egypt: Thousands Rally to Show Support for Morsi and the New Constitution

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: Egyptian president Morsi has announced that he will put the new constitution to the people as a referendum, allowing the people to ultimately decide if they like it or not. Odd behavior for a “new Pharaoh” wouldn’t you say? … can you imagine if our leadership put the FISA bill or the TARP bill to the people for the ultimate decision? The NDAA 2012? Hell, we can’t even really vote…

Once again we are being sold a bill of goods by both the MSM as well as some “alternative” news sites. NBC and other “news’ organizations use old images from the Tahrir Sq. protests in 2011 claiming they are from the “new revolution” this week. Pretty sad when you think about it.

In an earlier article, we focused on how the MSM is demonizing Egyptian President Morsi for protecting the elected parliament from the Mubarak supporting judiciary still operating in Egypt and keeping them from stopping their efforts to write the new constitution.

The claim is that they will write a constitution which is too heavily influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood but that is ridiculous since the vast majority of the Egyptian people voted for the Muslim Brotherhood in the latest round of elections. That’s why Morsi is the president.

The real problem isn’t that the elected officials of Egypt are writing the new constitution in an effort to keep another Mubarak to come to power, but the fact that the officials in the country aren’t letting the Chicago Boys write it themselves as they tend to like to do, instituting their neoliberal austerity measures into the mix.

This is my story my name is Syria.
