To the People Of Egypt In regards to the Jan 25 Revolution.


Dear People of glorious Egypt, Fellow Brothers, Sisters, Sons, Daughters, Mothers & Fathers,

Understand this; this is nothing less than a war. A war for our freedoms. This is not a war led by the Muslim Brotherhood, or a political party, or anyone else. This is a revolution led by the people, for the people. But it is a War nonetheless.

Do not deter, do not lose hope, do not Despair. Do not give up. Never give up.

For years and years you were apathetic. For years you felt that there was nothing you could do. For years you were impotent and hopeless.

But that is no longer the case, The events of the past few days have proven beyond a shadow of doubt, that you DO have the power, you DO have a voice, you CAN change things; You are not Helpless. You are not hopeless. You are not impotent. You & ONLY you have the Power.

My Brethren, for too long we have remained silent. For too long we have accepted as they eroded our rights away under the pretense that they are protecting us from Israel, From other nonexistent threats, That they are better than the alternative, that anyone that is against them is someone out to destroy us. That is not the reality, and it has never been the reality. It was merely a series of lies and propaganda intended to scare us into submission, to demean us, to enslave us. But no more.

No longer will we sit idly by believing the lies.


No longer will we allow them to enslave and demean us.


No longer will we be sheep.


No longer will we allow them to prey on us.


No Longer will we be silent.


No longer.

A Government that is not a representation of what the people need & want, is not a legitimate government, it is a group of thugs, a medieval monarchy, and You the people of Egypt have spoken, You have said what you need, what you want, and it is not Mubarak, it is not a group of thugs and thieves that call themselves our government in an attempt to appear Legitimate to the rest of the world and to us.

For too long we have allowed them to corrupt & weaken us, until we as a people, who were once the forefront of the world, who were once the pinnacle of civilization and enlightenment, had nothing real to be proud of anymore but ancient accomplishments and ancient victories.

No more will we be corrupted, we are proud, and you should be proud of what we have accomplished so far, we have scared them, we have shaken them, and we will not rest until we destroy the demons that take the guise of angels.

What can they do to harm you?

Are you afraid they'll starve you? How many of your fellow Egyptians sleep everyday without a scrap of food?!

Are you afraid of what they'll do to your children? What future do they have with our state of education and economy?

Are you afraid they'll hurt you? Kill you?

Tell me, how many Accidents have happened out of negligence?
How many people have suffered or died in hospitals out of lack of supplies and staff?
How many varieties of tainted food and water have we had spread in the population to fatten gluttonous corrupt wallets?
How much radiation has bombarded us because of illegal deals & Ignorance of restrictions?
How much harm has already come to us?

They cannot do more harm to us than they have already done, unless we accept it and allow it.

Remember as Edmund Burke said "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do .... If good men do nothing"

For how long were we going to sit silently and accept being second class citizens in our own country?!

Never Again.

People of Egypt, They will threaten you with insults, arrests, violence, tanks, Guns, armed forces, everything they can think of, because they are weakening, they are losing their control because we have finally seen through their shroud of lies and propaganda. Do not be afraid. They have lost their grip on us. Do not be afraid.

They are tyrants, they are evil, and they are demons. Do not fear them, because the truth and light is on your side.

This is just the start of something beautiful, but we must be willing to fight, no matter how it scares us, no matter what may happen to us. Do not let the spark die, Turn the spark into a full blown scorching fire and burn the ground from under their feet.

Other revolutions in history have changed the course of history with the odds against them being even worse than ours. They did not have twitter or facebook, they did not have internet, they did not have portable cameras, and yet they were victorious.

We will be victorious, but there are a few steps that should be taken:

1st We need to spread the word of revolution to those without internet access, to those in distant villages and cities, we need EVERYONE in Egypt to know why the people are revolting, because the only information some people have, is the propaganda they get from Government controlled Radio and T.V.

2nd We need to be prepared for what's coming, things are going to get MUCH worse before they get much better, don't just let anger take over you, be prepared.

3rd I do not directly condone violence, and I never will. But in the words of JFK (also Quoted by Martin Luther King) "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable", If they attack you, if they hurt you, do not hesitate to fight back, you're fighting not only for your rights, but for your life and the life and rights of everyone you care about.

4th We need to show the rest of the world what is going on. We need the truth to be exposed against the lies of the regime.

Most importantly, do not stop until you get your demands. Do not give up. Do not stop no matter what they do to you, fight for freedom until your last breath, because without freedom, we have nothing.

We have been Lambs & Sheep for too long, but no more. We are no longer lambs, we are no longer sheep; and without a flock there is nothing left for a sheep herder to control. We have replaced our fear with anger, and we will no longer be afraid.

So Harness your anger and rise;

Rise People of Egypt

Rise Brethren

Rise Fighters for Freedom and never back down.

Rise and do not lose hope, we will be victorious!

Raise your head high and RISE!

I hate to quote a movie in these circumstances, but "Rise and Rise again, until Lambs become lions"

And we will no longer be lambs.

FREEDOM TO EGYPT!

  7. Naguib Mahfouz would be proud of you. You should name this revolt for your best literary son. It is so sad that what is happening now happened 90 years ago as Mahfouz describes. You have had to live under tyrrany for too long.

  8. Naguib Mahfouz is smiling indeed. There is safety in numbers. Friday is the time to come out.
    Another lesson of Tunisia may be this: Citizens and soldiers, keep an eye on all agents of repression.
    Some of them do not realise yet that their days are numbered. Photograph them if you can without endangering yourself, take their names down, make them known to the public. They must know that the day of reckoning has come and people's justice will prevail.
    Maybe that will restrain them.
    All Power, all the light of the universe to the suffering, great people of the Nile Delta and beyond.

  9. You are showing great courage and great dignity, by far bigger than many of us "sleepy" people of the so called "civilized" western world. Many of us admire and support you from the other side of the Mediterranean Sea.
    Since five days many Egyptians are protesting in front of the Egyptian Consulate General of Milan, (Italy), it's great to see their peaceful demonstration.
    Keep it up, don't give up!

    Preacher man, don't tell me,
    Heaven is under the earth.
    I know you don't know
    What life is really worth.
    It's not all that glitters is gold;
    'Alf the story has never been told:
    So now you see the light, eh!
    Stand up for your rights. come on!

    Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
    Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

    Most people think,
    Great god will come from the skies,
    Take away everything
    And make everybody feel high.
    But if you know what life is worth,
    You will look for yours on earth:
    And now you see the light,
    You stand up for your rights. jah!

    Get up, stand up! (jah, jah! )
    Stand up for your rights! (oh-hoo! )
    Get up, stand up! (get up, stand up! )

    Get up, stand up! (so we can't give up the fight! )
    Stand up for your rights! (lord, lord! )
    Get up, stand up! (keep on struggling on! )
    Don't give up the fight! (yeah! )

    We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game -
    Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, lord.
    We know when we understand:
    Almighty god is a living man.
    You can fool some people sometimes,
    But you can't fool all the people all the time.
    So now we see the light (what you gonna do?),

    Get up, stand up!
    Don't give up the fight! (don't give it up, don't give it up! )
    Get up, stand up! (get up, stand up! )
    Stand up for your rights! (get up, stand up! )
    Get up, stand up! (... )
    Don't give up the fight! (get up, stand up! )
    Get up, stand up! (... )
