I thought this was pertinent to explain again as I have come to re-understand with current events. If you check the different sources of news you will come to understand the agenda behind them and why they show what they do. I experienced this in the face during the S11 protests in Melbourne on September 11, 2000. Yes exactly 1 year before 9-11 makes you think even then maybe the organizers of the World Economic Forum (WEF) that we where protesting at new what was to happen. Anyway I participated in the 3 days up front with about 30,000 others and even got on to Main stream media (MSM) in a scuffle/harmless pushing with Police in a blockade I had helped shut down in order to stop a Bus with WEF Officials from arriving. I led a charge against about 15 odd Horses with Police in order to stop them from rushing and ramming us like I had just experienced earlier. Out the front of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Planet Hollywood at this Melbourne Casino where this World Economic Forum was held I joined the back of a 4 deep wall of people against a row of 1 or 2 deep Police and joined the pushing and then witnessed a man immediately to my right get knocked down to the hard bitumen road by a Police on the back of a Horse and was knocked unconscious. I actually felt the Horses hoof slide off my right shoe that is how close I came to the action. That is why I lead the charge against the Horses straight after the wall of cops stood aside for I knew what the plan was. I yelled out lets stop them or rush them and everyone the whole wall of people joined in. I had 2 horses 1 on each shoulder, lol. We stopped them cold on the spot stopping them from getting anywhere. I talked to their riders and luckily they never got into beating us. I said are you aware that these people let 30,000 people die per day because of lack of food? The cops tried not to look at my eyes but they where certainly I think thinking about what I had said. Just after this when the horses backed off the cops on foot came back and some unnamed cop was behind the barrier in a white suit trying to grab and hit people and even take this girl that was in the group I came down with from Brisbane, so I grabbed her and called for help and we stopped her from being taken.
Anyway I saw on the news all the 5 different MSM channels their coverage including my nans video tapes with me in them at that last scuffle saving the girl and saw the spin corporate media (CM) was putting vs the non-corporate ABC at that time. The Since the ABC I think has become a lot more controlled by the dark with 9-11 laws. The CM said we were terrorizing the police and hurting them, LOL, what a freaking joke. While the Non-Corporate controlled media the ABC and SBS I think really showed what was going on and how we were getting hurt by the police and in the most part we were very peaceful. Our Western Australian Minister decided to use cops with night sticks/battons/tonfas to beat people out of the way while he was in a car behind them as they drove over a bridge that had the most people deep on it. Like he wanted to hurt as many people as possible and enjoyed it.
Now getting back to current events. I see the same MSM control in order to keep people from the truth and the same dark activities trying to hi-jack the movement for their ends. So keep your BS meters up and search far and wide for the truth if you are so inclined. Another way of looking at it is the Dark are worried about losing control and so use force as they always have to try to maintain their power. Divide and concur, but will we let them is the question?
This is a great video I watched last night on Egypt.

The streets of Cairo are empty. Cars are pulled over by the police after every 50 or 100 meters.
The police – bearded young men from the Muslim Brothers group and common-looking students – wear white armbands and conduct car checks. The checks consist of looking at the driver's license, a swift look across the interior for any weapons, and saying "Hello" to passengers.
There are also army check posts. They don’t check anything, but they don’t let cars drive on closed streets, of which there are many. Troops and tanks guard embassies, rich neighborhoods, and banks, which are closed.
My flight landed in Cairo at 2:00am, and there was no car to pick us up until 7:00am. In the minivan, I was joined by seven foreigners who introduced themselves as 'consultants'. During police checks, they would sink deeper into their seats and stay still. When army troops were checking us, they would smile happily.
They made it clear that they represented international special services. When I told them I was from Russia, one of them gave me an enthusiastic slap on my shoulder. Their interpreter hasted to inform them that in Egypt, it is inappropriate to touch a woman, even in a friendly way.
The million-strong demonstration began on February 1 with a midday prayer on Tahrir Square.
The square is partly dug up, partly covered with debris.
All streets along which demonstrators flow in are closed by American-issued tanks with covered gun muzzles. Tank crews kiss children and toss them high up in the air, so that their parents could take great pictures.
All people going to the square are required to show their IDs, but nobody looks at them. My bag was carefully inspected three times. At the same time, nobody was interested in my tripod case.
On the square, there is no stage or podium. Everybody comes with makeshift posters; most of them call for Mubarak to step down.
"We are going to stand here until he realizes that he has no time anymore," I was told by a student lying on the square, blanketed by his own poster saying, "Mubarak is worse than a donkey".
Small groups are forming in the crowd and chant joyful cheers or fiery condemnations addressed to Mubarak, the USA, and Israel. I ask the people why it's those three that they hate so much.
They explain, "For 30 years, Mubarak has served not the people of Egypt, but the USA and Israel. He is more of their patriot than they, themselves, are."
About 20 people are standing in a circle, a flag of Egypt in their hands, singing funny couplets about Mubarak's policy.
Helicopters keep flying over the square; and people wave at them: "Go away!" People discuss what type of ordnance – live or gas-loaded – the choppers are carrying, and where the choppers are made – in America or in Russia. One protester was seriously telling me that the tanks were not American, but Israeli, and that they had been made not in Israel, but in Egypt.
Standing out among demonstrators are some Europeans – small groups of elderly activists with similar posters saying "We are all Egyptians now". Of those I got to talk to, all were English.
The Egyptians look at them with favor, gladly taking photos with them.
"This is our revolution. Obama is late," I am told by a guy named Mustafa, who characterized himself as member of a youth committee for order.
In the backyards of the square, along the fence of a Christian church, a sheet of fabric about 20 meters long is spread out on the ground. Christian and Muslim boys together are covering it with more slogans and condemnations of Mubarak.
Christians can be noticed on the square, too. They are standing with posters on which there are a cross and a crescent as a sign of unity. Some of the activists attempt to regulate the chaotic traffic on the square.
At six o'clock, it is already three hours into the curfew. Some people head home, but many are going to spend the night here.
The internet is down across Cairo, and phone communications also crash from time to time.
On February 1st, nobody from the government or the opposition came to speak in front of the protesters. The only plan the demonstrators have now is to gather on the square until Mubarak steps down.
Groups of men from neighborhood self-defense units are walking here and there. Mostly they consist of middle-aged family men armed with sticks and shovels.
Cafes, stores, and markets are all closed, but there are many people outside who stand in circles and discuss what is happening.
