State Sponsored Terrorism By Egyptian Junta Against Pro-Democracy Protesters & $1.3 billion in continued U.S. Military Aid

Protesters & Human rights groups have accused Egyptian troops and prison authorities of sexual assault of Women protesters, and mass rounding up of Protesters (many of them Medical Staff & Journalists). State Sponsored Terrorism By Egyptian Junta and paid Pro-Government Armed Thugs Against Pro-Democracy Protesters. Obama administration has released $1.3 billion in continued U.S. Military Aid despite Cairo's failure to meet pro-democracy goal.



Abbaseya Aftermath and the Military Council's Reign of Terror

"Following the military's brutal crackdown on a sit-in outside the ministry of defense, Egyptians speak of the Military Council's reign of terror. In the aftermath, hundreds of Egyptians were hunted down and detained, including over 20 journalists and medics. Many more were injured and killed as they fled into the pro-government neighborhood. Throughout the week, Egyptians have been protesting the largest round-up of activists since the military junta came to power last year. Hundreds of Egyptians captured during the raid will be arraigned through military tribunals. Since Mubarak's ouster, nearly 12,000 people have been tried and convicted through military courts." - http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRealNews


U.S. approves Egypt military aid despite rights fears 


(Reuters) - "The Obama administration on Friday formally released $1.3 billion in military aid for Egypt despite Cairo's failure to meet pro-democracy goals, saying U.S. national security required continued military assistance.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton waived congressional conditions imposed late last year that tied U.S. aid to progress in Egypt's transition to democracy following the ouster of longtime President Hosni Mubarak.
"These decisions reflect America's over-arching goal: to maintain our strategic partnership with an Egypt made stronger and more stable by a successful transition to democracy," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement.

Clinton's decision, which has been criticized by some U.S. lawmakers, took note of Egypt's progress since last year's street revolution, including holding parliamentary elections and preparing for a presidential election in May.

But a crackdown on pro-democracy forces - including some U.S. groups - over the last several months infuriated lawmakers in Washington and caused the Obama administration to warn Egypt that its aid might be in peril." - More here

"R.I.P MCA" - Blackbook Art by Slick Dissizit

DemocracyNow.org - The pioneering hip-hop artist Adam Yauch died Friday of cancer at the age of 47. Known by his nickname "MCA," he was one-third of the legendary Beastie Boys. He was a practicing Buddhist and helped organize the Tibetan Freedom Concert. In 1998, he made headlines when at the Video Music Awards he publicly criticized the climate of racism toward Muslims and Arabs, and the Clinton administration's bombings of Sudan and Afghanistan. [Correction: It was incorrectly noted in our headline today that Yauch was speaking out against bombings in Iraq. It was rather bombings in Afghanistan and Sudan.]

"MCA you went AWOL RIP" - Rath COD/UPS

'AWESOME: I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT' @ The Prince Charles Theatre
ALL BOX-OFFICE TAKINGS TO BE DONATED TO CANCER RESEARCH! Starring: Mike D, Adam Horovitz and Adam Yauch 
"The tragic passing of founding Beastie Boy Adam Yauch was a shock to the system for both music and film fans alike. Not only was he part of one of the most influential HipHop groups of all time, but he also set up independent film production & distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, who helped titles such as We Need To Talk About Kevin and Meeks Cutoff find an audience in the States. When the news reached the office of his passing, we immediately jumped to action to put together a screening to celebrate the life of MCA, and we couldn't think of anything better than a screening the Beastie Boys' 50 camera, crowd-shot concert film, 'AWESOME: I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT' and donating all the box office takings to Cancer Research. So come on down, help us raise some money for charity and turn our downstairs screen into one huge send-off party for the & only Nathanial Hörnblowér." - T.P.C.T.Tickets can be bought on line HERE

Is This The Last We've Seen Of Lowkey? [UK Debate S02 E36]
Lowkey's Facebook Post » http://j.mp/JdLSrG

After hearing the news that Lowkey has decided to quit music for a while, the debaters got together to discuss some of the reasons why he may have quit, his influence and style as well as how he broke the news to his dedicated fans regarding his decision.

The following are a few of the issues and questions raised in the debate:
- Why might Lowkey need time out of the game?
- Was Lowkey showing respect to his fans by addressing them regarding his decision? 
- Is Lowkey right in saying the music scene is very egotistical?
- Was Lowkey in the game just to deliver his message?
