Pentagon to monitor social networking sites for threats | World news | The Guardian: "US defence department to search for potential cyberterrorism and next Arab revolutions on sites such as Facebook and Twitter"
"For your security you must give up your right to privacy" the US government tells us. In truth the government understands that people will revolt, unless their causes are heard and acted upon; but instead of making the necessary changes, the military is preparing to stamp any signs of organizing and will not hesitate to bring the tanks as has been seen in Bahrain, in Syria, in Palestine (Israeli tanks), in Egypt and elsewhere. So, if the US government could inform the leaders of all governments, which have the interest of the US in mind, before the organizing fully coalesce than governments could imprison leaders and develop stratagems to prevent revolutions.
Also, the American public must know that the same sites will be used by our military to pinpoint possible troubles in the US. Because trouble is coming: the gulf between the have and have nots has grown, more than 10% are unemployed and jobs are lost faster than they are created, social services are shrinking, the public school system has seen its budget shrink, the power to buy has gone downhill, people have lost their savings and often their homes and thus hope for the future is dwindling down. So our military knows trouble is coming and it thinks that it can stop the People; but our leaders are underestimating the power of despair which fears not.
Egyptians extend protest to fourth day | Reuters
Egyptians extend protest to fourth day | Reuters
"A banner at one entrance to Tahrir read: "Revolution first and if needed we are ready to sacrifice with our souls and whatever is precious for the revolution to continue and not be stolen.""
Egyptian protesters did not go home and accept the status quo, they came right back out to have their demands met; this is their strength. And it is in sharp contrast to the American protesters who go home and go back to their lives accepting that nothing was achieved or changed; and they'll come out again for the next protest likely a year or so later again not expecting to change anything.
