The World Comments on Ferguson – Egypt Urges Restraint While China Tells the U.S. to “Stop Pointing Fingers”

Great.  Other dictatorial regimes are chastising America for its human rights intrusions--and taking the moral high ground.

Saudis’ Unprecedented Break with Washington over Egypt

I have certainly blogged about the break up between Saudi Arabia and the US.  With the House of Saud's royal family about to splinter, any pacts and allegiances to provide the US with cheap oil will be null and void.  The threat of lack of security provided by the US isn't as big of a threat to the Saudis these days.

While Israel, Iran, Syria, Egypt et al provide enough geopolitical theater, the fraying relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia may have the biggest impact in the region.  Oil prices, sovereign states, military allegiances, and economic trade will be affected by this all-important alliance.

EXPOSED - True Cause Of Chaos In Egypt

I'm not endorsing this subscription, but I have met Mike Maloney, and I agree with his assessment of QE causing food prices to rise globally.  I have also blogged many times that rising food prices caused social unrest (including the so-called "Arab Spring") in emerging and Third World countries.  They weren't just civilian uprisings against evil dictatorial regimes by populations desiring to be "democracies" like America, which is what the lapdog US media was so quick to spin.

People were starving and were unable to feed their families, so that is what prompted them to take it to the streets, risking life and limb.

Egypt ends gas deal with Israel, stakeholder says

Remember how Americans yawned when there was rioting and military skirmishes in the middle east / north Africa (MENA) last year?  The US had their own domestic economic problems, yet we chastised the foreign sovereign governments for their violent treatment of their citizens' uprising.  "Those poor, poor folks..." was the general sentiment.

Well, a power vacuum has been filled by militaristic entities, and Egypt has just cut off energy supplies to Israel.  If this sounds vaguely familiar (see Iran being cut off of the global financial system), it's understandable.  The posturing has now turned into trade sanctions and economic warfare.  If one applies a bit of extrapolation, the end game doesn't look so good.

Egypt's unrest may have roots in food prices, U.S. Fed policy

This is another article submission by Kitty, and a theme I was pounding the table on last year.  Citizens don't take to the streets in response to an oppressive government.  They take to the streets because they are starving.

Clinton Urges Restraint, Political Reform in Egypt

http://www.voanews.com/english/news/middle-east/Clinton-Urges-Restraint-Political-Reform-in-Egypt-114666079.html

With all due respect, but how arrogant of Secretary of State Clinton.  She urges Egyptians to restrain themselves, like this is some form of demonstration against an oppressive government.  There is no doubt the Egyptian government may be corrupt, not respectful of human rights, and in need of political reform (speaking of glass houses), but citizens don't take to the streets because they feel oppressed.  They take to the streets because there are food shortages and they are one meal away from starvation.

And look no further for the root cause of all this exported food inflation to other countries, third-world, emerging or developed:  it's Blackhawk Ben Bernanke's loose monetary policy and quantitative easing which is the cause of soaring food prices.

Rioting Breaks Out In Egypt

Read the article to find the root cause of riots.  It's not just about oppression and lack of personal freedoms, but a product of poverty and food shortages.
