We know about the seriousness of the situation in Egypt |
|
The Right-controlled media is never going to let mainstream America know ow serious it is and what it's really about, because if they keep America ignorant, they won't face the same results here.
Will Saudi Arabia be next? Will it cause $500 a barrel oil? Will the world wake up at that point?

1. SA appears to be stable right now. |
|
Individuals there are sympathetic to the Egyptian protesters, but there is no sign of unrest.
In fact, there is speculation that Mubarak might flee there, probably to Jedda, since SA has been a haven for ousted rulers before.

Is there such an animal? Seems all I have been seeing on the cables is about Egypt...including the same endless loops. Those who don't know about something going on choose to do so willingly. While the news coverage is abysmal (and most of it due to budget cuts that put the emphasis on "analysis" over reporting) it is there and not being censored.

Those who watch Faux do so willingly and know what to expect. They tune in because they know what spin they'll get as opposed to being some innocents being purposely duped. After all these years and examples of this network's bias and lies have been exposed and millions still watch it? Makes you wonder about those doing the watching and the overall failure of our society that Faux didn't create but exploits.
Cheers...

What difference does it make who controls the Arab oil? They still compete with Venezuela, Mexico, North Sea and other oil producers.
What is it you think the world has to "wake up" to? (And the idea of China paying $500 a barrel for oil makes me giggle, sorry.)
Now if you were worrying about food prices rising to the point of starvation for millions, I would wonder why it took you so long to wake up. These uprisings are the beginnings of worldwide climate change instability.

4. I think you're overstating things just a bit. |
