Agents Provocateurs using COINTELPRO tactics to create chaos across Egypt
by Joseph Ernest February 1, 2011
Newscast Media CAIRO, Egypt-- After days of peaceful demonstrations in Tahrir square, it is very suspicious that pro-Mubarak supporters are trying to disrupt the demonstrations with violence. It is obvious that they are being supported by outside entities who are nervous about a regime change, so in order to muddy the waters, they seem to have recruited thugs to create chaos across Egypt. This is characteristic of a COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program) operation.
COINTELPRO is a covert operation that was first developed here in America by the FBI and aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations. The program has since been adopted by several governments across the world as a way to disrupt peaceful protests. The program was exposed by a left-wing group called Citizens' Commission To Investigate The FBI, when they broke into the FBI's field office in Pennsylvania, stole files and passed them on to news media outlets for publication.
Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm reports that a young man carried into a clinic by protesters earlier in the day said he had been hurt by pro-Mubarak demonstrators when he refused to join them for a sum of LE50. Youth leaders of the anti-Mubarak demonstrations are calling on all of those who were in Tahrir Square yesterday to make their way to Tahrir Square now "to save the revolution from the thugs."
They believe that the army intentionally retreated from certain areas to allow a certain degree of leeway for pro-Mubarak protests. Protesters filled the streets in Semoha, Sidi Beshr, Mahatit Misr, Algomrok, Sidi Gaber and Mahatit Alramal neighborhoods.
A source at the National Democratic Party (NDP) in Alexandria, who asked not to be identified, told Al-Masry Al-Youm that the party asked its provincial offices to organize pro-Mubarak protests in order to show the people the president is still popular.
Mohamed al-Helo, member of Alexandria's local council and Abdallah Osman, a high ranking member of the NDP in Alexandria were seen guiding the pro-Mubarak protesters.
This all happened after Mubarak gave a speech stating he intended to stay in office for another eight months, and also after the Egyptians assessed Barack Obama's statements as weak, telepromter-generated, without conviction, so the pro-Mubarak supporters have dismissed him as having NO clout to make Mubarak step down, and aim at keeping Mubarak in power on his own terms.
Barack Obama had reportedly told his Egyptian counterpart that "an orderly transition must be meaningful, it must be peaceful, and it must begin now."
In order to show Barack Obama who is running the show, Mubarak responds by unleashing violent protestors in the streets on Wednesday. Mubarak is sending Washington a message: "I dare you to interfere with the way I run this show." He of course has been emboldened by Iran's Ahmadinejad, China's Hu Jintao and Venezuela's Chavez who constantly laugh when Obama requests them to tone down their rhetoric.
On December 10, 2010, Barack Obama wrote a letter to Ivory Coast's president Laurent Gbagbo and warned him "of consequences" if he did not vacate office and allow Ouattara to be sworn in as the West African country's president. After reading the letter, once again Gbagbo just laughed, and we all know who is running the show in Cote d'Ivoire.
Barack Obama last week asked Mubarak to restore Internet service to Egypt, but instead Mubarak thought it was funny. Mubarak took it a step further to stick it to Obama by shutting off the last Internet Service Provider in Egypt.
Then comes England's David Cameron who said, "President Mubarak says he is going and we respect that. But what matters is not just the orderly transition but also that it is urgent, it is credible, it starts now. We should be clear we stand with those in this country who want freedom and democracy and rights the world over."
Washington knows if they push Mubarak too far, he could shut down the Suez Canal, and there is nothing they could do about it, so they have to tread softly. The US would not attack Egypt militarily, should Mubarak decide to close the Suez Canal because that would rally the Egyptians around Mubarak and defeat the entire purpose of the demonstrations. This entire new wave of violence has COINTELPRO written all over it. Add Comments>>
