July events

• One of the greatest writers of his time, and a leader against the Egyptian policy, AbdelWahab elMisiry went to Allah, May Allah have mercy on his soul in shaallah.
• Started to read Malcom X biography, it is a very interesting book, talking about Afro-Americans and Muslim in USA.
• Saw a new tag in aljazeera web site, about China's concerns against the Call for Sudanese president to International Court of Justice, and connect that to the Olympics held in Beijing in Aug 08, remind me with what I read in Malcom's book, about the worries the White man hold for any rise of any colored civilvation, and also about the affion war, which England invaded China for destroying drugs, and forced to pay for this drugs, so ironic…
• 18th of Jul, at night saw a naked guy, totally naked, he seemed to be in his 20th, walking in Mahkama square, Heliopolis, crossing elHagaz st., few notice him and he kept walking as nothing was wrong, I'm sure something is wrong with his head, but it is surely the first time for me to see something like that, and sure it means something…
• Rumors are spreading, that fuel prices are going to increase by Sep 08, and also some talks about postponing the new traffic low, few months or just for the first aid box and the reflecting rectangle.
• Finished Malcom X book, it's really a wonderful book, mostly because it allows you to see how Afro-Americans suffered not in a movie style. And how can a person change, his way in life, view, and even religion, and never be shame to say he was wrong.

Presidential speeches

I just finished reading, "Diary of October war, by Saad elDin elShazly (Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces)". And I can only say I was really shocked, depressed and deeply angry, allow me to say that before reading it, I already had small an idea of all the information inside, but not documented in such way.

I was born few years after that war, so I didn’t actually live it, but ever since, I knew a lot of facts, we had a huge defeat in 1967, and we had a marvelous victories in 1973, sure all that came from our media and big festivals we use to see every year. Latter on start to wonder if we did such a marvelous success in the war, why there are a lot of people against the peace we did.

The book really open so many doors in mind, that what made me shocked from the flow of lies we been living in(I know many knew that before me), but I'm only going to talk about one point which is lying(not only in 73 war but all our history). Back in 1948 we lost the war trying to keep some parts from Palestine, we lost because our king was fighting to kill some domestic issues and some regional glory, same with king Abd Allah king of Jordan, whom some went that he had a pervious deal with the Jewish before going to war, in 1967 we all know what happened, we lost the war without even fighting, lost our land, air force, and many other things, and yet when President Gamal announced he'll leave his place as he failed, people didn't accept it and ask him to stay…………

Now I'm so sure that the whole nation was wrong for stopping Gamal from leaving, he failed so badly in 67 war, not only that but he(as he the president of all)LIED through the media, and kept announcing fakes about what is actually happening in war, and there is no reason for doing that, After Wilson Churchill gave Britain victory in the second world war, he lost the next election because his performance in rebuilding the country was bad, yet Churchill didn't lie, but Gamal did, and we emotionally forgive and forget, in 73 Sadat LIED about the third army was under sedge , Sadat lied about his mistakes that causes huge change in the war, and yet lies deep float to us.

If you lie to your enemy, is so much normal act, because he is your enemy, but lying to your own people, is the strange act, especially when the whole world knows the fact, and laughs at you, when you inside meant to be blind, so your ruler can keep his place.
King Farouk lied in his true intention for going to 1948 war, Gamal Abdel Nasser lied, by announcing fake statements through 1967 war, Sadat lied about the third army under sedge, which last for 3 months, lied that he made huge mistakes that causes the Loophole(الثغرة), and put it on someone else, and still we accept lies, like how our economy is improving, and the happy 30% raise,

I wish I could write more about the book, it really worth reading, and also I wish I've read SADAT's book to see both sides, but yet I think it be only holding lies, or why Egyptian authorities didn't reply on Shazly's book or provide us with true facts.

All of that is our mistake, us no one else, if you allow others to make fool of you, and you did nothing about it, don't wait for them to stop. And finally if we could pick up one from each Egyptian era, I would stand tall and say proudly that, "I'm living in the worse Egyptian time, and yet still manage to survive some how", or it might be a big lie.

Egyptians habit

When you look back, at all our pervious knowledge of our Egyptian history, especially what we took in school, you may find one big fact, that through all our history line, we didn't have any act, even for once, in choosing who Rules this country. Deep into history and till our present day, either we loved our ruler or we hated him, we didn't choose him, it just happened and we learn to live with it.

And I believe that’s worth a study. Why no one gives a big care for who rules us? Why we not even like Algeria who scarified million to achieve freedom?

All the mind the Egyptian is how to gain there living, that’s the major priority, maximize the prosper, from the lowest economical level to the highest all the individuals only cares for there own living, or even a part who seek to better political and economical environments for the country, deep down it'll only measure the impact of that better environments on the micro unit of the society, how that affect me and my life. Always me ….

One major facts that also been taught through history , that as long people manage to earn there living they don't mind any thing else going around them , looking under our feet, regarding two things that living is in Allah hands, and also that changing the surroundings shall increase all the societies prosper .

Finally most of us really wish for changes in our life, have many wild dreams, and sadly most of us don't admit to take any action to make this wishes come true, running after our living only wasted our lives and now it is the a very lethal weapon

Joke

One night in Cairo streets, Heliopolis area to be more specific.
Saw a Petrol Police officer (dawrya) or might be maba7is as well (in his search for dugs & and making streets better place to be), he comments on our stand there, that drug takers ought to go to open areas like airport to do what they want as Gov. allows drugs (as he said), but out of being decent people don't take drugs here as people who lives in they area are being annoyed from it...............
