Happy 1st Anniversary? Why Egyptians Remain Optimistic
It takes time for democracy ‘experiments’ to ‘settle.’ The US has 230+ years and still there are tensions. Many of those who achieved freedom in Egypt thought winning the 18 days equalled ‘job done.’ As they (and the Occupy movement) learned, you have to work within the system to change it or risk being dismissed [...]
Appearance on Minnesota PBS’ belAhdan
As the news coming from Egypt turns grim with 9 dead and more than 300 wounded Saturday, I am often reminded of the 11 years it took for the US to go from declaring independence from Britain in 1776 to the adoption of a constitution in 1787. They went through the Federalist Papers, two wars [...]
It Ain’t Over: ‘Egypt’ & ‘Occupy’ Get Stronger
The 18 Days of the Egyptian Revolution in February were a microcosm of what can happen when a people reach the end of their rope and say, “to hell with it, we cannot take anything more, we’re prepared to give our lives for what we believe because living this way… is no life.” Hundreds died [...]
You Can’t Fix Stupid!
Oakland Police Attack ‘Occupy,’ Critically Wound Iraq Veteran Last night in Oakland, just as in Boston and other cities before it, police swept in late at night under cover of darkness upon unarmed peaceful protestors and did their best imitation of Egypt’s secret police thugs. They fired tear gas canisters and rubber bullets then would [...]
Remembering Mohammed Bouazizi
Inspiration for Arab Spring and OWS: In this Book Excerpt, UK Progressive magazine salutes the man who started a revolution that led to Egypt’s Revolution, the Arab Spring and now the global Occupy Wall Street movement that grows daily and will liberate the 99%. Tunisia Awakens in Anger Mohamed Bouazizi, 26 sold fruit illegally from a [...]
A Poet Sailor – Tales Of Libyan Freedom
I sign every copy of Egypt Unshackled with the words: “Freedom is Contagious.” It’s taste is so sweet no one who is free should ever take it for granted. It is my profound honour to share the initial poems and words here of S A I L O R on Twitter, a Libyan living in [...]
We Are All The 99% (Cairo and Everywhere)
“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil but by those who watch them without doing anything.” –Albert Einstein As the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement enters its fourth week, on Saturday the New York and Washington base camp plazas were so overfilled they resembled Tahrir Square, Cairo. People of all ages, [...]
Ticking Student Debt Rage & Tahrir Square?
Few movies truly anger me to take action. Default: The Student Loan Documentary enraged and moved me to tears. I was given ‘preview’ access to the film and it is truly stunning. If you want to know what the Occupy Wall Street movement is about, get this film, see this film, circulate this film to any friend [...]
Why Occupy Wall Street & Tahrir Sq. Are Similar
I nearly threw my shoes at the monitor when the Occupy Wall Street group demanded Mainstream Media (MSM) attention but looked and acted like a poorly organised “piss-up” in a brewery. I was screaming at them to shut off the live feed if there was nothing happening. New people tuned in and saw behaviour more [...]
‘Egypt Unshackled’ Whips ‘Witchy’ O’Donnell
Maybe Levi Johnston and Palin Hit Pieces Are Next? It’s encouraging. People like you are buying this great story and I didn’t have to storm off a TV set in faux outrage, threaten to sue anyone or do a shirtless dramatic reading (trust me, thank goodness for your sake!). And yet I feel almost certain [...]
Could Occupy Wall Street Be Next Tahrir?
Saturday night a Tweet came in from Jason (@dragonfire1024) moments before I was to shut down the computer for the night. “Mass arrests, reports of tear gas (unconfirmed) at #occupywallstreet @UKProgressive” clearly the message made me hang in a bit longer. Having spent 18 days watching Tweets from Tahrir Square in Cairo past midnight each night, I was used [...]
Why Did You Write Egypt Unsh@ckled?
That question has been asked repeatedly over the last five months as I would tell people of the 16-hour days spent crunched over this keyboard. Ahmed Mohamed & Omar T. explain why in 10 brilliant minutes. (Have the tissues ready, you will need them.) Also, this video doe show scenes that are not suitable for [...]
