Egypt, a new era precursoredi

"Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I hope that we will be permitted to pursue it. "Thomas Jefferson The events in Egypt point to a new balance of power between citizens and the" corporotocrazia. I was an Economic Hit Man in Egypt in the seventies, as well as in Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries.

I was asked many questions about the political revolt in Egypt and wanted to share some insight. Current events in the Middle East are indicative of this new era, where people are taking power. It 'started in Latin America, where ten countries - for many years had been ruled by dictators supported by the CIA - have elected presidents who are resisting the corporotocrazia.

Now a similar movement is sprouting in the Middle East. Egypt has finally taken a stand against the tyrannical role of Hosni Mubarak, along with intelligence and with the help of the CIA and U.S. development agencies, has created unbearable conditions for the majority of citizens. (Excluding Iraq and Afghanistan, Egypt is the second recipient of international aid after Israel and military).

E 'estimated that 40 percent of Egyptians live below or near the poverty line. The role of Mubarak was emblematic of many countries where corporotocrazia (in the name of democracy) leads the people in power so that they retain the richest and most greedy status quo, a system which benefits the latest to need benefits.

An important lesson of the Middle East is that we must call upon ourselves to start the change. It 's time to say no to big corporotocrazia of robbers who have stolen our country. In the U.S., economic crises, in addition to wars and government policies that benefit big business, should provide enough inspiration to motivate us to action.

Until recently, our laws were made by elected officials, but now they are packaged by corporate lobbyists. The governments that their policies mainly focus on obtaining high profit margins for the few rich are, without exception, corrupt governments. When people are starving, do not have adequate health care, working conditions under the standard and supports environmental risks - then it's time to get rid of that government.

People often ask me if I think that democracy is a good system than others, despite its flaws. I always answer that I prefer democracy. However, I fear that our present form of government in the United States does not meet the definition of democracy, or republic. In fact, "democracy" and "republic" that the economic hit men and jackals peddle in other countries are improper definitions, mutants who seek to create an account to investors, and remove the possibility of a significant advance for most citizens.

When people are rebels, governors are rushing to rescue their plans to avoid accepting responsibility for the injustices caused by their policies. We have just seen with Mubarak in Egypt. I encourage you to support these movements around the globe, including the United States. But even now, today, we support the Egyptian people.

We support their demand for a just and sustainable government. Insist that everyone has the right to freedom of expression and stand up against tyranny. And, if you want, come and visit my Facebook page, where you will post more updates on Egypt and other surprising directed against corporotocrazia.

Let us unite and support the campaign for a freer world for all. Translated by Eleanor Cipollina
