he's not officially in charge but I stopped paying much attention when the celebrations began. He does need to go! All of them on trial now!

I thought I heard something about him being on a plane out.

Its all turning to mush in me 'ead. ^_^

[Catherina]

47. That's how my head is now too. A big mush of happiness!

I wish I hadn't lost this tweet about an hour ago but the first concern of the young protest organizers is all the people living below the poverty line. Totally touched me.

I can't believe those young people pulled that off! :hi:

[bobbolink]

53. if you can possibly find that tweet, I would be forever in your debt.

If it is possible to be more in your debt than I am now... ^_^

I don't see how you can type these, let alone see them... my eyes be blurry. :hi:

What a gift you are, Catherina!! And thank you so much for remembering me about that tweet... that really means so much to me. Being forgotten all the time is such a soul-killer.

55. He is not gone.

I just checked some stories.
He is still there, his role as VP is confused, since there is no President to be VP to, but he has "refused" to accept role of President, the army is in charge, officially.
But...Suleiman is long tied to CIA/Washington, so I suspect he is puppeteering behind the scenes, and soon Egyptians will realize they need to do something about him.

[bobbolink]

60. CIA... you have a point.

I just have a bit more optimism at this point...... I trust those strong Egyptian people to take care of business.

They have overcome fear, and have a taste of their power, unlike us.

I last heard from you on twitter when you said that you are closely watching events in Tunisia. What has happened? What is up? Are you not doing well? We need you to tweet, please.

I'm disappointed there was no congratulation to the Egyptian people for their amazing revolution but I don't think any Western leader has sincerely congratulated them. Probably still in shock.

133. And alaa's last tweets there seem like a good way to wrap up Catherina's last topic today. :)

Thanks, Catherina, for all the topics and tweets you posted!

134. And thanks, highplainsdem, for your magnificent contributions!

135. Thanks, bobbolink!

:hug:

What I did was very minor compared to what Catherina did, but I was happy to be able to give her, and everyone else who's worked on these topics, even a little bit of help.

[Catherina]

136. YOU were AWESOME! Thank you, thank you!

138. Hugs to all for these moment by moment tweets --

Will there be more?

Is this the end?

[Catherina]

140. I believe so, for me at least

I'm still following and as topics are posted, I'll post a few relevant tweets here and there, but now's the part where the real revolutionaries stick fast to their demands, the lukewarm crowd tells them to stop waiting on their ponies, and the West, reluctant to lose its colonist rewards, tries the bigger crumbs routine. This part is in slow motion, behind the scenes and won't really be tweeted.

This thing is so far from over.

:hug:

[defendandprotect]

142. Thank you, Catherina ...

and I agree, it is far from over -- but these people conquered FEAR which keeps

so many of us here in America frozen, it seems.

Unfortunately, the military still protects capitalism -- I'm not really familiar

with what goes on in Egypt -- poorly informed, actually -- but capitalism can't

succeed without a MIC. Something we here in America have to be more aware of.

Trust everyone who followed this rebellion saw the threat of a military to freedom --

the see-saw of wondering who they would support!

Certainly in America there is a presumption they exist to support capitalism --

from OIL to the foulest of our corporations and their deeds as they move forward to

"harvest slave labor all over the world."


:hug:

Have no "hearts" to give -- but you've won everyone's here, Catherina!!

Thank you!

That's not "minor".
