Groundviews
3rd July 2013 is a dark day in the history of Egypt and indeed in the democratic world. It was the day the deep state in Egypt in collusion with the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates struck a deadly blow to the nascent democracy that is being established after 30 years of military dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak. It used an artificially manufactured dissent group called ‘The Rebel’ created on 30th May to cover the military coup with a democratic garb. It is unprecedented in the 21st Century political history to depose a democratically elected president on the eve of celebrating the 1st year in office of a term of four years. This is hilarious as well and displays how flimsy the nature of democracy in the modern world is. Post revolution  Egyptians elected President Mohamed Morsi in a free and fair election gaining more than 50% vouched by the international election monitors as free and fair, one year later the deep state and the U.S. funded mercenaries put people on streets and robbed the presidency and the constitution popularly adopted by people with more than 63%.  This reminisces the return of the Shah of Iran by deposing the democratically elected Musaddek in the 1950s. This shows how the deep state stayed dormant to strike back to reinstate the previous pro-military, U.S/Israel friendly government to power at the expense of the legitimate democratic rights of the Egyptian people, and shows how the so called paragons of the democratic world overtly became silent in condemning the coup whilst looking for alternative words to call it something less than a coup. Western hypocrisy is blatantly visible in many conflict zones, when Saddam Hussain was killing his citizens, they were silent and colluded, and called him their bastard, but when he reneged to obey them, he and his country was bombed to the stone age by them. This is how the West deals with their client states and use democracy as tool to stifle and manipulate subservience to them and not to be free and independent nations. Evidently, this also shows the very evil nature of the ‘Rebel’, the military and those who colluded to rob the revolution. As of now that there are a multitude of more Pro Mursi and Pro Constitution Egyptians citizens on the streets demonstrating against the coup, many times more than the Rebels and opposition prior to their coup. If Egyptian democracy is a number game as displayed by the proponents of the coup, then by now President Mursi and the Constitutions should be reinstated back as legitimate and democratic. This will not happen. The reason the deep state struck back was that President Mursi and the Constitution was mandated to serve Egypt and its citizens only and they did. They did not  serve the interests of the U.S the other Arab client states of the U.S.
