FACEBOOK & MU-BARAK PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS

NOVANEWS Egyptians are turning to Facebook and Twitter to have their say in campaigns launched by the country's presidential candidates. Hackers are also playing havoc with Web sites affiliated with candidates campaigning for next year's Egyptian presidential election, the Egypt Daily News reported on its Web site Sunday. On the Facebook page of Zionist Puppet Hosni Mubarak's son Gamal, a member of the National Democratic Party, hackers posted a new photo with a red "X" over it and a statement in Arabic saying: "You are not welcome and neither is your father," the Daily News said. The report said the original photo that appeared on the page had a slogan under Gamal's photo saying "Yes for Gamal Mubarak." Ayman Nour, the founder of El Ghad opposition party, launched a campaign against the p...

ZIONIST MU-BARAK STEEL WALL

NOVANEWS wasn’t the Egyptian wall meant to fail? Egyptian officials are now openly admitting that the underground steel wall lining the Gaza-Egypt border is porous. Gazan "smugglers" have penetrated the wall hundreds of times and are not remotely troubled by it any longer. The cars that used to be brought through quartered, after which the parts were welded together in Gaza, are now brought through whole. Very big tunnels. I've always assumed that the wall was meant to fail or constructed with the knowledge that it would probably fail, as part of the Egyptian-Israel-American materiel and diplomatic dance. What would have happened if Egypt had actually cut off the tunnel trade when 80 to 90 percent of Gazan imports were coming in through the tunnels? People would have started starving to de...

ZIONIST MU-BARAK & TURKY-ZIO=NAZI TENSION

NOVANEWS Zionist Mu-Barak urged Turkey on Wednesday to ease current tensions in the latter's relations with the Zio=Nazi regime of 'Israel' in order to restore the Turkish role in resolving regional disputes. “If Turkey is to resume playing its part in regional issues, its troubled relations with Israel will not help it-- and Ankara is aware of this fact,” said Mu-Barak spokesman Suleiman Awwad.

ZIONIST MU-BARAK PRESSURE FOR ZIO=Nazi* DIRECT TALKS

NOVANEWS- Pressure intensified on Zionist puppet Mahmoud Ab-Ass to agree to direct talks with Zio=Nazi regime in 'Israel'. Ab-Ass says he won't negotiate directly with Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unless he agrees to recognize its 1967 frontier as a basis for the borders of a future Palestinian state and accepts the deployment of an international force to guard them. Netanyahu has refused to be pinned down on a framework for negotiations. In an effort to sound out the prospects for a move to direct talks, Zionist Mu-Barak met with puppet Ab-Ass, Netanyahu and U.S. Mideast envoy George Mitchell separately Sunday in Cairo.

MOSSAD PUPPET MU-BARAK VERSUS GAZA

NOVANEWS There is a bit of silver lining, even in the Gaza cloud. It's this: the Zionist regime of Mu-Barak, aware that the West won't help it get rid of the revolutionary Islamist regime there, that Zionist cannot do it, and that Hamas won't voluntarily accept subordination to the Palestinian Puppet Authority, now understands it has to protect itself from that threat. For Mu-Barak, the threat is multiple. Most directly, Hamas is a close ally to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, a group that wants to overturn the Zionist regime and give Egypt an Islamist state that would enjoy all the blessings of Iran and Taliban Afghanistan. In or after their revolution, the Egyptian elite would be murdered and all of its property confiscated. A second threat to Mu-Barak comes from the fact that Hamas is an Ir...

MU-BARAK DOGS BEATING TO DEATH

NOVANEWS Web Chat with Egyptian Activist on the Ground Khaled Saeed, a 28-year old man, refused to show ZIONIST Mu-Barak Dogs his ID in a random raid on an Internet cafe in Alexandria.

It turns out that Saeed had posted a video exposing Mu-Barak Dogs doling out the spoils of a drug bust. The Mu-Barak Ministry has claimed that Saeed is a drug addict, and his cause of death was choking on a joint -- this despite numerous eye-witness accounts and videos of the incident. Today at 12:30, Human Rights First is hosting a chat with Nora Younis, an award-winning activist in Egypt, to discuss this case and the broader question of government repression in Egypt. Nora was at protests ...
