May God protect Egypt from all evil. God Bless Egypt.

Pro-democracy demonstrators continue to fill Egypt’s streets in all governorates in defiance of a heinous military crackdown on Islamists.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., called for an end to foreign aid for Egypt, saying that the military coup that took place today disqualifies the new government from receiving American assistance under U.S. law.

“[O]ur law is clear: U.S. aid is cut off when a democratically elected government is deposed by military coup or decree,” Leahy said today. “As we work on the new budget, my committee also will review future aid to the Egyptian government as we wait for a clearer picture. As the world’s oldest democracy, this is a time to reaffirm our commitment to the principle that transfers of power should be by the ballot, not by force of arms.”

The National Coalition in Support of Legitimacy „calls on the Egyptian people to take to the streets and mobilize peacefully“ after Friday prayers „to say ‚No‘ to military detentions, ‚No‘ to the military coup“.

„Latin America has to react,“ Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa said before departing for Bolivia. „Imagine for one second if this had happened with a European president or the U.S. president – it probably would‘ve been grounds for war. And here they think they can infringe and crush international law.“

The prosecutor‘s office ordered his arrest earlier on Thursday, along with his influential deputy Khairat el-Shater.

„There‘s no court decision to prevent our paper from being printed, this is illegal,“ Islam Tawfiq, a member of the FJP‘s media committee, told Reuters. „This points to a restriction of freedoms after the coup,“ he said.

Speaking to Israel‘s Army Radio, Ben-Eliezer said that Israel cannot stand isolated from what is going on in Egypt. „We have borders with Sinai, and there is high-level cooperation with the Egyptian army and intelligence for the interests of both sides, and Sinai is important from a security point of view.“

For the first time in the history of the world, a coup is not a coup. The army take over, depose and imprison the democratically elected president, suspend the constitution, arrest the usual suspects, close down television stations and mass their armour in the streets of the capital.

Le Monde est en mesure de révéler que la Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure (DGSE, les services spéciaux) collecte systématiquement les signaux électromagnétiques émis par les ordinateurs ou les téléphones en France, tout comme les flux entre les Français et l‘étranger : la totalité de nos communications sont espionnées.

Just days after France reacted angrily to claims its Washington DC embassy was spied on by the US, French daily Le Monde published ‚revelations‘ on Thursday that French intelligence services have been operating a similar mammoth spying operation in France.

„All of our communications are spied on,“ wrote Le Monde, which based its report on unnamed intelligence sources as well as remarks made publicly by intelligence officials.

„Emails, text messages, telephone records, access to Facebook and Twitter are then stored for years,“ it said.

This is the last interview Mohamed Morsi gave before he was ousted by the military on Wednesday. It was filmed by his aides in the Qasr al Qubba presidential palace on Saturday 29 June, but all the questions were the Guardian‘s.

The Obama administration is negotiating a secret trade deal that sells out American democracy for the benefit of multinational corporations. And it gives insane powers to copyright and patent holders to do things like prevent access to critical medicine.

Ist es nicht seltsam, dass Ostdeutschland Freiheit erlangte, während sie in Amerika verloren ging? Am Brandenburger Tor rief Obama zu einer Verpflichtung der Nationen für eine „Universale Erklärung der Menschenrechte“ auf, doch Obama setzt die Verletzung von Menschenrechten im In- und Ausland fort.

The Chairperson of the Commission, recalling the AU principled position on unconstitutional changes of government, underlines the need for all Egyptian stakeholders to work towards a resolution of the current crisis through dialogue, in order to find an appropriate response to the popular aspirations within the framework of legality and Egyptian institutions.

„I am not aware of any urgent plans to rethink our aid programs at the moment but … the dust is still settling on what happened last night,“ Michael Mann, a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, told reporters.

Egypt is entering a dangerous period, says Breakingviews.

Qatar‘s new emir congratulated Egypt‘s Adli Mansour on Thursday after he was sworn in as an interim leader following the ousting of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi, an ally of the Gulf Arab country, state news agency QNA reported.

1. Meine Warnung richte ich an den amtierenden Militärdiktator und Generalstabs-Leiter Sedki Sobhi und nachfolgend an seine Untergebenen. “Verteidigungsminister” Abd al-Fattah as-Sisi und der neue “Übergangspräsident” Adli Mansur sind irrelevante Garderobenständer.

But he said „we have to work with whoever is in authority“ to protect Britons and UK firms in Egypt.

As the revolt against President Mohammad Mursi’s rule got underway in Egypt this week, hundreds of thousands thronged to the streets, but one key player was missing. One image circulated widely on social media as the protests got started showed a screen grab of Al-Jazeera reporting on a football training session instead of Tahrir Square. It was a far cry from when the channel fought to keep the iconic scene of the Egyptian Revolution on the air.

Further, the minister reiterated Jordan‘s deep respect for the Egyptian armed forces and their national and vital role in Egypt and the Arab national security system.
