Uproar in Egypt as US funnels aid to civil societies
Jerusalem Post ^ | 8/7/11 | Oren Kessler

A raucous debate is raging in Egypt over whether to accept some $200 million in US aid to build up long-suppressed civil society organizations, as critics denounce Washington for "meddling" in internal Egyptian affairs by providing assistance to groups not authorized by the interim authorities in Cairo. Several weeks after the February 11 ouster of longtime president Hosni Mubarak, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) allocated around $65 million to democracy-development programs in Egypt, part of an economic and civil assistance package of $200 million.

The big question is “Why”? We don’t have the money and the Muslim Brotherhood is the one getting the money. When do we stop this insanity?

It occurs to me that that particular $200 mil will be purloined long before it gets close to its intended target, just like every other dime that gets sent to these third world sh!tholes.

Remember, the reason for increasing the debt limit is to allow the Obama Administration to suck all of the money out of the market to prevent US private industry from borrowing. As long as the Gov is hijacking the dollars with excessive debt and regulation it keeps the private industrialists and small businesses from stepping into the water by expanding or hiring. This creates the dependency on government by citizens for their existence and keeps them begging for help only the government can provide.

This fight is for the minds and hearts of American citizens; will we be free and independent earning our way through our personal efforts or will we live as serfs depending on our liege lord for our subsistance living while singing his praises.

It’s tough enough to compete with legitimate competitors in the market let alone compete with a government with an unlimited credit line that can put you out of business with a stroke of the pen. The government of the Obama administration will allow no competition and are using the power of government to create willing allies in the banking community.

As long as the banks can loan America money for a profit through buying T bills (bought with TARP/stimulus money), there is no need to risk this free money in the market place by loans to private businesses (who might fail). No wonder they are seeing record profits while the economy burns. These globalists have no problem playing along with the administration.

Not a surprise to me.

To: Nachum; All

oh! that is hysterically FUNNY!!!

Obama told us the “Arab Spring” in Egypt was a democratic movement.

now, that “democratic movement” (the M.B.)
OBJECTS
to the USA giving money to truly democratic organizations,
and true supporters of democracy, like the Coptic Christians?

our EPA is getting over 10.7 BILLION a year.
and using it to destroy US jobs and economy.

if this 200 million annoys the M.B.,
then it’s better spent than all the money wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan.

ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WILL GIVE AWAY NEARLY $6 MILLION OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS TO RESTORE 63 HISTORIC AND CULTURAL SITES, INCLUDING ISLAMIC MOSQUES AND MINARETS, IN 55 NATIONS. See the State Department document here.

Obama ought to be impeached for this- while Americans lose their jobs and homes.

I wonder if the average American knew this, what kind of chance would Obama have of being re-elected?
