After 20 years of Mubarak autocratic rule the Egyptians finally snapped and rose up to remove him through people's power popularly known as the "Arab Spring."
Mubarak was ousted in 2011 after 18 days of demonstrations by millions of Egyptians. Power was transferred to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. Egyptians all over the country were jubilant with the fall of Mubarak and look forward to a change for the better, a democratically elected president and civilian government.
Over a year later election was called and a new president was elected.
Muhammad Morsi was the first freely elected president of Egypt and just before his first anniversary in office huge demonstrations, bigger than the one that brought down Mubarak, flared across Egypt calling him to step down. The army gave him an ultimatum to step down, Morsi refused.
Morsi was finally removed by the army on 3rd July 2013. The situation still looked uncertain as the Muslim Brotherhood threatened to fight to the last to keep Morsi in office.
We always want change for the better, but sometimes change don't come the way we want it.
Is the CIA behind the scene?

Even before getting the big guns they already behaved like absolute monarchs, worse than the one they want to get rid off......the abominable UMNO.....looking more and more democratic under Najib.
They have their own lese-majeste law that forbids anyone under their rule to criticise them.
In Penang you have "Dear Leader" who talked democracy but practised autocracy. Anyone or any media who gets on the wrong side of him will be banned from his press conference. His deputy thinks he is a "tokong" worshipped by the Chinese of Penang. The Malays think he is anti-Malay. He thinks he doesn't need the Malay votes, so be it.
His Majesty Azmin Ali not happy with his subject Faekah.
Poor Faekah, for speaking out loud, they want her head on the chopping board. The PKR's Court of Retribution will hear her case.Read here.
It's "Pakatan's Way", the only way.
Democracy, freedom of speech, freedom to assemble is a lie to fool the fools and there are many out there who wanted to be fooled.
Fools who lives under the coconut shell and opportunists looking for new ride.....plenty are coming to PKR.
Now, you know why so many left this political hell hole.
See for yourself who they have collected recently from the Rogue's Gallery in Sabah......the "orang-orang kechewa" looking for new ride.
They take new shithead at the expense of old unhappy shithead who had to leave as there is not enough room to keep too many shithead who want to be YBs.
Do you believe they really want to wipe out corruptions?
Joseph Astrada said that when he was running for president and Gloria Macapagal said the same thing when she was running for president.
Both were caught for corruptions
In God we trust, politicians pay cash!

If you think voting Pakatan Rakyat and making them your next government for you to enjoy greater freedom, democracy and absolute rule of law, you better think again. Cause, it's not going to happen!
Pakatan Rakyat with Anwar Ibrahim at the helm have already shown signs of becoming totalitarian.They do not tolerate differences of opinion. Tunku Abdul Aziz, for speaking out loud, the truth, stuck a stick in Lim Guan Eng's throat that got him a serious rebuke from Guan Eng and other DAP leaders, some even asking him to be sacked from the party.
Here, DAP disciplinary board wants Aziz to confirm whether he has repeated his public criticism so they can take action against him. This is democracy, Pakatan style.
Anwar Ibrahim knew, in a free and fair elections, Pakatan won't be able to capture Putrajaya through the ballot boxes, hence, his desperate gestures on 28 April 2012, to try cause civil unrest, hoping it would get out of hand and force the government out of office. Former Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohammad was not wrong when he said Bersih's whole motive was to bring down the government ala the "Arab Spring".
I believe Amiga, the prime mover of Bersih, is not as innocent as she claimed to be.She knew, with hundreds of thousands of protesters, the high risk and danger of things going out of control and the dangerous ripple effect if the authority was not able to contain it. Amiga played into Anwar's hand, knowingly or unknowingly. It is imperative that the police investigate Amiga. She must not be allowed to go scot-free for the damage done to people and properties caused by her high-handedness and adamant refusal to using alternative venue offered by the government. Her speeches and body language stinks of political agenda.
There have been many cases of Pakatan leaders authoritarian rule and abuse of power. The most telling is the ban of certain media from attending the oppositions press conference. Lim Guan Eng has a veracity of character, he has kicked out Utusan reporter from his press conference, barred NSTP group, Utusan Malaysia, Bernama, and TV3 from his press conference.

Guan Eng is a lucky man, in Malaysia the media are still very kind to nasty politicians, try the West, he would be fed to the hyenas, his character and reputation torn to shreds. Malaysia's mainstream media reporters do not have mean streak in them, it only manifested when they joined the unregulated alternative media and become verbally nauseating. You get the best of yellow journalism and hog-wash news the likes of Malaysian Insider (my favourite), Free Malaysia Today, Malaysia Chronicle and few others.
Malaysia Today has bought some very comprehensive insurance, drawing its contents from both pro-oppositions and pro-government blogs.Petra's own articles are now less abusive of the government.
Pro-opposition bloggers, a fine kettle of fish, the worst of the worse, self-aggrandising, have zero tolerance for differences of opinion.If you write anything against Pakatan or its leaders and you happened to be on their blogroll, they couldn't see the bigger picture, they just bump you off their blogroll and proudly announced that they have bigger traffic to their site and you a measly mice not worthy of mention must go. At least two pro-opposition bloggers (not mentioning any names) have struck my blog off their blogroll.
Anyway, who gives the shit about this kind insecured and churlish behaviour.
Politics should not be taken with a bitter pill, turning friends into foes and demonising those not in agreement with you, which only goes to show your incapacitated mind and parochiality.
We have seen how hostile protesters attacked policemen and overturned police car, but as usual, demonising the police, true of false, is a must thing with Pakatan leaders.
Last but not least, politicians should learn to count the days, when their days are up, to throw in the towel and give the younger blood a chance.
People like Tengku Razaleigh should join Pakatan Rakyat. Only than, maybe, he can fulfill his dream of becoming the prime minister.
You see, who is more democratic, DAP, PKR, PAS or UMNO? In spite of his constant disagreement with his party policies, Razaleigh was never threatened with dismissal from the party.
