4. SCAF is backed by the US
The tear gas being used against Egyptians is made here in the US. I would very much be surprised if it wasn't US officials telling SCAF how to crack down on the Egyptians.

I have thought that if there is one thing that might save us from a more brutal crackdown, it would be their worry about their reputation. Everyone's already seeing that the US is not the free democratic country that it sells itself as. When/if video of American protesters being killed goes out into the world - how are they going to deal with that sort of PR?

Solidarity with our Egyptian brothers and sisters. We have begun working on freeing ourselves so that we can free you, and the rest of the world, from the tyranny and exploitation and murder done to you in our name by the 1%.
