Egypt has no internet. I didnt know a government could take down the internet like that. Poof! I mean, the cables cross many national boundaries. The Internet was designed to withstand a nuclear attack. Do countries have a kill-switch?
Here's a link to a site called internetegypt.com. It's down. 404. Nada.
Dont throw out your old shortwave radio just yet. Seems low-tech still rules.
Can all nations do that? Specifically, my nation?
The internet as a "tool of dissent & populist organization." Interesting concept to ponder.
Clearly they dont like Mubarek. Did he not have a pale vampire glow tonight? Dude, hire a new make-up artist.
Photos of Egypt in Revolution
Collection of exquisite photographs titled » Days of Rage.
Uh, I had linked to some of the photos I liked, but for some reasons the photos at those links keep changing.
Maybe cuz they keep adding photos to the beginning, which changes the numbering of the later ones. Im over it.
Instability in a region that is already volatile .. not good. Egypt shares a border with Israel. Note that the word armageddon comes from the Hebrew term » har megiddo, meaning "Mountain of Megiddo" ..
.. which is a hill upon which ancient forts were built to guard the main highway between Egypt & Mesopotamia (i.e. modern-day Iraq, plus parts of Syria, Turkey & Iran). Lovely. Probably just a coincidence.
Is that the odor of revolution I smell? Seems to be spreading throughout the entire Middle East (.. thanks to Gene Sharp & his little booklet). Time to dust off those old Beatles albums. Somebody find Dylan.
