This author sees the hand of Empire manipulation behind the scenes of the recent Egyptian military takeover of government, and then poses the logical and critical question.
...one should ask why was it that Washington which has a long standing relationship with the Moslem Brotherhood rejected Morsi?Her proposed answer was unlike any other interpretation of recent Egyptian events that I have seen, and her reasoning was quite convincing. See what you think.
Of course, others have also viewed the "Arab Spring" uprisings as being created and manipulated by the clever hands of Empire operators. It's my view that they have consisted of both manipulation and deep-seated discontent. They could not have been engineered without the latter ingredient. However, attempting to manipulate such mass content incurs a huge risk of blowback. But then, Empire directors seem to be exhibiting ever greater arrogance in their desire to rule the world, or else they are getting desperate.
On the other hand, who can blame them for feeling arrogant. After all, they have gotten away with assassinating a US president, a major and popular civil rights leader, the 9-11 event, lying about "weapons of mass destruction" to justify the invasion of Iraq, the Boston marathon bombing, and numerous other crimes while the American public remain mostly passive, docile, and gullible as they sink into ever greater depths of economic misery.
