LIGNET is reporting two major and ominous developments in
Egypt: (1) Due to the failure of Morsi to agree to cuts in food and fuel subsidies, the
International Monetary fund is delaying funding a nearly $5 billion loan and
the country’s economy is failing. (2)
Morsi is trying to expand his power by getting rid of democratic institutions
and changing out judges for those more obedient to his regime’s needs. These events could lead to more massive
protests, such as the ones which unseated Mubarak, and the whole country could
again fall into uncontrollable chaos, thereby further destabilizing the Middle
East.
COMMENTS:
So much for Obama’s glee at what happened in the Middle East
a couple of springs ago. For decades,
the whole world has been engaged in preventing another all-out war in the
region; prospects for continued peace seem to be dimming rapidly.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. How come you’re not talking about the Boston Marathon
bombings more? (Duane – Orem, UT)
A. I try to keep subjects of my stories away from the ones the main
stream media are covering; I try to
cover the things that are not necessarily news of the day, but are still
important to talk about. I've been pounding on the Benghazi Massacre story ever since the day it happened, while the media tried to forget about it.
Q. I heard that Dish Network is having a hissy over
something the Chinese did? (Trina ~
Springfield, OR)
A. There’s a pending merger involving Sprint and
Softbank. Softbank and its associate
UTSI allegedly arranged for $7 million in loans and donations to Chinese
officials in return for lucrative telecommunications contracts. Dish has filed a lawsuit trying to scuttle
the merger. Now, who’s going to clean
the Dish?
Q. I know Congress just got its proverbial tit in a wringer
by trying to exempt itself from ObamaCare, nut what about the White House? Will the President and staffers have to go on
it? (Tessie ~ Corning, CA)
A. No. Obama exempted
himself and Joe Biden from ObamaCare. Now,
a Congressman has introduced legislation to require the White House, Congress
and Supreme Court to participate by enrolling in ObamaCare health exchanges. It remains to be seen whether or not the law
will be passed by Congress and signed into law by our illustrious
President. Bets anyone?
