This whole thing in Egypt puzzles me.
The wiki leak via the UK Telegram shows the US planted the activists to start the revolution. Obama comes out supporting Mubarak, a thing which may now have changed. The Egyptians are saying that they want democracy. We are fighting two wars which they say is to promote democracy and yet initially we support the puppet regimes. All of this seems contradictory. Any ideas?
I am pretty sure that our FED unintentionally caused the problem. Money printing inflation is always exported when you have the worlds reserve currency. In the marginal countries, higher commodity prices leads to unrest by the masses who send a much higher proportion of their income on food. This will spread.
Gary;
Since you are looking for explanations of the Egypt thing and are willing to accept various 'theories'..let me offer you another one.
Who is the prime mover which put the current pres in office ? No doubt, it was George Soros..the man who tried to destroy the British economy. "O" may have been tutored by the writings of Marxist revolutionaries and the Saul Alinsky book "Rules For Radicals", but conveniently, these ideas coincide with Soros' aims. Now, just suppose the "O" administration did stir this stuff up ! Any unrest in Egypt , endangering the vital-to-oil-shipping Suez canal, would increase the cost of oil dramatically. Anyone invested in oil futures would profit enormously.
As you said, the enormous borrowing by this administration has knocked the world finances askew..which is now, and in the future will... cause food prices (commodities) to skyrocket ! So who would profit from all this unrest ? ...How about somebody who has billions invested in oil and the food growing chain.. So, who is heavily invested in these items ? Here's who :
http://www.thedailycrux.com/content/2594/George_Soros When you have read of his oil investments..scroll down to " Jim Rogers and George Soros both betting big on this commodity", and see how Obama's sponsor is poised to make big megabucks on OIL and the FOOD chain . Could it be that as this turmoil started gaining momentum a bit more rapidly than intended and the spectre of a closed Suez Canal seemed closer than planned, a need was created to have a "crisis' in our own offshore oil production ? If such a "crisis" did happen, the prez could proclaim a moratorium on drilling in the gulf. Of course he knew that these oil rigs cannot afford to sit idle and would be forced to move...to Brazil, where Soros is heavily invested in offshore drilling.
Of course, it is only a 'coincidence' that the Obama administration recently advanced $2 billion to aid the Brazilian offfshore drilling.
Brazilian (and Venezuelan) oil does not go through Suez to reach us. Coincidently, the prez recently put millions more acres of our western oil-rich lands off limits to drilling..or anything else.
Now, I have not drawn or offered any conclusions, but rather simply posted facts and possibilities...but I can see where some who are really 'into' conspiracy theories could make some obvious observations... But they won't, because we all know where they stand, politically..
