''Egypt on verge of economic collapse''

From Voice of Russia

''In 3 months Egypt may go bankrupt – such are the not comforting forecasts made by some experts. The Egyptian stock market has collapsed by 10 per cent in recent days. And this has been the record fall since the beginning of mass disorder in January of 2011.''

''The disorders in Egypt are becoming more intensified. Thousands of people are dissatisfied with the declaration adopted recently that, in fact, gives the Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi unlimited powers. The opposition National Liberation Front has urged Egypt’s citizens to go to Tahrir Square in Cairo and to express their disagreement with Morsi’s decision to put the new draft constitution to vote on December 15th.

''Egypt's Market Plunge, US Food Bank Drought, & Turkish Gold Trade w/Michael Krieger''

From RT.com....................'' Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi struggles to resolve a political crisis created after he granted himself new powers by decree on Thursday. The edicts sent tens of thousands of protesters and supporters into the streets, and today Morsi may have prolonged the showdown as he told the country's top judges he stands within his rights. This turmoil has also sent the Egyptian stock market plunging, with the largest drop since the Arab Spring uprisings in Egypt began. The benchmark stock market index plunged 9.6 percent, according to Bloomberg. Until recent events, the Egyptian market was the world's best performing exchange this year. We talk to Mohamed Hawary, a managing director at an Egyptian investment firm, about how instability in Egypt has affected foreign investment.

And is there any connection between protests in Egypt and a secession movement in Catalonia? The Catalan drive for independence from Spain grew as separatists saw gains in regional elections over the weekend. Is there a common economic theme underpinning unrest in Egypt, Spain, and the US? We ask Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg if we are going to see more of this unrest in 2013.''

''Egypt is rocking, a new Pharaoh rises''

From Indian Punchline
MK Bhadrakumar

''Catching the tumult of a revolution on camera is virtually impossible — especially a revolution like the one Egypt which rolls on with no end in view. Another revolution in revolution is unfolding. The Chinese cameramen have caught some fantastic visuals as the banks of the Nile begin to heave again with seamless human passions. The Xinhua photo album is here. 

Egypt is rocking. The country is being torn apart. The left has become the right. The Muslim Brotherhood, which championed the underdog has become the Establishment. And a New Left has appeared, comprising, paradoxically, the western style liberals and centrists, secularists and leftists — in fact, all else except the Islamists. ''

''Egypt ‘pharaoh’ Morsi faces youth juggernaut''

From Ahram Online

''The subdued nature of Cairo’s underground was interrupted Friday when the train stopped at the station located in the iconic Tahrir Square. A man in his 30s was berating Egypt President Mohamed Morsi with little opposition from passengers.

“Morsi thinks he is a prophet. No, even the prophet did not have such powers,” the man, bristling with anger, shouted after taking part in protests against a stunning decision by the president to maximise his powers.

“Didn’t he learn from what happened to Mubarak? He may face the same fate. It’s not that difficult. Another revolution is on the cards,” he added, excited to start a debate that never materialised. The glum-looking passengers had no appetite to either defend or attack Morsi.''

A former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Morsi sought in a 90-minute interview with The New York Times to introduce himself to the US public and to revise the terms of relations between his country and the US after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak.''

''First of all as to the “film” or whatever.  As news managed to get past the “controllers,” it became obvious that the “Israeli” director never existed and the film had been financed by a group out of Las Vegas in the casino business tied directly to the Romney campaign.

This we know.  You will see no reporting of this although the security around those funding the film and the quick “pounce” Romney made on Obama are enough to spark curiosity, if such a thing existed.''

Pepe Escobar: "Morsi delivers his calling card''

From Asia Times Online

''Morsi may be walking like the proverbial Egyptian in popular imagination; sideways. In fact he's advancing all the time. By now it's clear that Egypt's new foreign policy if focused on restoring Cairo, historically the intellectual hub of the Arab world, to its leadership position - usurped by the oil-rich barbarians from the House of Saud during those decades when Egypt was a mere lowly servant of Washington's geopolitical designs.

Those were the (long gone) days - over three decades ago - when Tehran broke relations with Cairo over Egypt's signing of the Camp David accords. Morsi's attendance of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Tehran may not yet signal the return of full diplomatic relations, as Morsi spokesman Yasser Ali has been spinning. But it's an earth-shattering diplomatic coup.''
