Military coups, do what military coups do, which is to slaughter ALL innocent protestors, and imprison any left alive who continue to protest for freedom. And so the Egyptian military instigated its latest massacre after seizing power some 2 months ago, where the death toll is put at a minimum of 500 civilians, ranging as high as 2,000. In response to which the so called leaders of the free world, in the name of democracy gave press conferences giving mild reactions to the deaths in Egypt, some 2 months on from when the COUP took place. Instead for 2 months the US and UK have given blanket support to the MILITARY dictatorship in its COUP against an DEMOCRACTICALLY ELECTED GOVERMENT!

Our two faced mealy mouthed easily corrupted leaders, Obama and Cameron, who preach democracy but in reality support dictatorship by means of billions in funding and arm shipments, can be heard calling on the now murdered civilians to go home and cease protesting, for protesting against dictatorship, be it in Egypt or the US is only allowed if it never actually results in freedom. For the British Empire first taught American's what happens when a people protest and then fight for their freedom some 200 years ago, which many American politicians at least seem to have forgotten, which explains why today's America resembles far more closely that of the British Empire that it revolted against rather than that of the free state that followed it.

It should not come as any surprise that Egypt's military has killed thousands of its own people, for that is what ALL militaries are trained to do, KILL PEOPLE! British, American, or Egyptian are TRAINED to KILL PEOPLE! Does not matter if they wear a uniform or not, soldiers are trained to kill people as the long dark histories of British and American Militaries own massacre of civilians illustrate. If you kill then you are a murderer. One could argue about the degree of murder, i.e. is killing an adult male less murderous than killing a baby? Still civilian babies, children, women and men have all been killed by all militaries in far greater number than solider's killed. This is what the US military engages in when it uses drones to bomb civilian areas of many nations in pursuit of enemy combatants.

The Illusion of the Principle of Democracy

The mainstream media also in large part has done a good job of pumping out propaganda in an attempt to negate the fact that the Morsi government was ELECTED, and barely given a year in power before it was brutally crushed, this has succeeded in large part to convince the easily brainwashed western masses that the Egyptian Military are justified in their killing of democracy in Egypt.

So, instead of practicing what the mainstream press journalists have been preaching for decades, they have flipped reality on its head to reveal their true face of being nothing more than mouth pieces for the elite's agenda. Corrupt to the nth degree to so blatantly have abandoned the banner of freedom and democracy, just as has taken place in the US and UK, where we live under the illusion of freedom and democracy.

The bottom line is this - a massacre is a massacre, no matter what spin the vested interest journalists put on it in defence of their corrupted ideologies.

Boycott Egypt Tourism

So, whilst our two faced politicians play politics with another military dictatorship that as a matter of fact slaughters civilians by the hundreds, if not thousands, in response to which all we as individuals can do is to show our outrage by boycotting all goods and services that support the Egyptian Military dictatorship, which primarily means boycotting tourism.

Don't book holiday's in Egypt. If already booked then cancel, else you too will have Egyptian civilian blood on your hands in playing your part in the funding of a military dictatorship.

If Obama and Cameron had any ounce of decency then they would do the right thing and declare a boycott of Egypt until the democratically elected government had been restored, otherwise Egypt is heading for a Syria style civil war, where the outcome will be far worse than that which they feared from a democratic Islamic government, i.e. something akin to the regime in Iran or worse.

Unless democracy is restore then there WILL be an Islamic Revolution in Egypt! For that is the lesson from history of the reaction to western backed military dictatorships.

Meanwhile Egyptian secularists in their hatred of all things Islamist, unable to win at the ballot box, are like bleating sheep being led to the slaughter house in their support of military dictatorship. As Churchill once stated "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried."
