Egypt Under Sisi

Egyptian Pro Sisi Rally Protected by Military & Muslim Brotherhood Outlawed



Recently tensions have been mounting in Cairo, after the military seized power from the government held under president Morrissey. This faction, lead by the once general Sisi, although spurred on originally to seize power because of a large protest against the regime, has itself recently outlawed protesting without government permission. This comes directly after the military lead government declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. No surprise there, and I don't think anyone would really disagree with the decision to outlaw the obviously extremist organization.



What is surprising however, was a recent constitution passed under the Sisi-lead government with 98% of Egyptians voting yes on it, that would make protesting without government permission a crime, and also allow for normal citizens to be tried in military courts. These measures seem a bit harsh, but we'll se what happens in the coming weeks. Things are definitely heating up in Cairo.

Woody Harelson

So, if you already don't love Woody Harrelson, I'm here to tell you that you should look him up. I really love to see those with affluent means using their influence to demonstrate a better way of living to the rest of us. Harrelson has been one of my favorite actors for a long time. He has the innate ability to seamlessly transform a fictional script into a tapestry of reality that is easily invested in. However, my personal love for the man was ignited when I randomly picked up his own documentary film, Go Farther, within which he goes on an epic journey on his bicycle. Trailed by a film crew and a fully equipped motor home housing a personal vegan chef, Woody traveled along the coast of California to different colleges, spreading awareness about sustainability, and the devastation of our nations forests. Amazing film. . . go check it out.



You can watch it free here . . .



Also, the man is an incredible poet, and has created a slew of poetry that touches the heart of the matter for citizens here in the states. We vote with our dollar. Every purchase we make is a vote for or against corporate control of our commons. Please make the right decisions. Check out one of his amazing poems. . .


All we can do is use our votes, our dollars, to vote out these malicious miscreant corporations. Do not give them your money. Do not give them your energy, and they will have nothing to feed off of. They would all crumble in a matter of days, if we all rise up and stop supporting them. They draw from our veins, like a vampire who has tricked his victim to allow the installation of an IV for a sustained blood supply. We can cut the cord. We have the power to fight the power. They are afraid of us. Otherwise, why would they make such an effort to permeate fear in us through the media. Lets send em running back to the caves they crawled out of tails between their legs. . .
