US government planning to topple Egyptian President, WikiLeaks reveals secret backing of leading figures, death toll and injuries in nationwide demonstration, President

Transcript
The US government has been planning to topple the Egyptian President for the past three years, while that's according to diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks. The files show Washington had been secretly backing leading figures behind the uprising. Reportedly now, some 50 people have died, and hundreds more injured in a nationwide demonstration since Tuesday. Protestors have returned to Cairo's central square this morning, reiterating calls for President Hosni Mabarak to step down. Earlier, the President dismissed his government, but refused to quit. On Restan Egypt comes weeks after a month of chaos in Tunisia, which saw 80 deaths and the President being toppled before fleeing into exile. Investigative journalists at Webster Tarpley told RT that Washington wants to put new leaders in power in the Arab world to follow the US agenda. I think what we have, obviously, is the CIA no doubt about it. They are playing the card of Marbrew. The technical term is a clock-racy across the entire Arab world. It looks to me like a va-bong, right? It's a double-lord nothing strategy. They seem to be shooting the works for destabilization. Mubarak is not dependent enough. He's not dependent enough on NATO. He's not dependent enough on the IMF. Above all, they're looking for some kind of energetic regimes that could be played against Iran or for other purposes. They're also trying to appeal to this generation of young nihilists across the Arab world, whose imaginations have been captured by a sange. Now, underneath that, there were real grievances to food price, the gas or in price, the unemployment. But those really have more to do with the Wall Street depression than with somebody like Mubarak. Then, of course, there is the question of political oppression and repression, which has been going on in Egypt. Look at the weakness of the US. The US could not determine the government in Iraq, even though the US is occupying the country. They wanted, allow me, they got Maliki, the pro-Auranian. In Lebanon, the US has tremendous influence. That's another country that's heavily independent. In this case, the new government is more controlled by his boulder than by the United States. So, it would seem to me now that we're going to find out soon enough whether the weakness of the US has reached such a point that they can no longer overthrow a government like Egypt. Then, of course, in Iran, in June and July of 2009, there wasn't a attempt to have the Twitter revolution yet another color revolution. That one failed, similarly in Lebanon. Whenever you're dealing with a with a well-organized force that opposes the color revolution, the CIA people power cool has a very, very hard time in succeeding. If the army and the police continue to support Mubarak and the internet stays turned off, then it looks to be like the smart bed is probably that this is not going to be a cakewalk for these demonstrators and the other question, of course, is what's their program? Do they have any solutions for anything? Their solutions seems to be down with Mubarak. Some people would say that if the Muslim brother gets the upper hand, the army might step in. Some people in the demonstrations seem to want the army to take over, but that would simply be a numembarack.
