You know, that was seen by Washington as some kind of communist state and closely allied to the Soviet Union, so part of the Soviet system.
Who is "Washington"?
The false front, the false advertisement, or the cover story has been East vs. West, Capitalism vs. Communism, etc.
The Real story is the power struggle, absent the names, so as to see the actual measure of power.
Washington is, since 1913 at least, The Federal Reserve.
The actual power is a power to purchase. A member of The Federal Reserve has the legal license to increase or decrease the total number of dollars, since 1913, at least.
That is a powerful source of power, and that power can buy dictatorships, if someone commanding that much power to purchase desires a dictatorship.
The story here, this History of Egypt, misses something important. I have viewed the Real News report up the that quote above and so far there is no reference to something called Islamic Finance.
The Power Struggle can be expressed as:
A. The Dollar
B. The competition
Islamic Finance is a part of the competition.
If an Arab country, or Cuba, or Venezuela, or Panama, breaks away from, escapes, or otherwise disconnects from The Dollar power they are then faced with a situation whereby dollars are no longer available - at a cheap price.
Lacking easy access to dollars is lacking easy access to oil. If the country breaking away from The Dollar have oil, like Venezuela, or some other valuable currency such as a canal, a thorough fare, a toll road, a short cut through Panama, or a short cut through Suez, then that country has power to buy dollars or power to back their own new and competitive currency.
The Dollar has The Federal Reserve System by which The Dollar supply is managed.
What, and who, manages the supply of legal money in the Arab world, and specifically what, and who, manages the supply of legal money in Egypt?
Why is this important?
If Egypt undergoes a regime change similar to the regime change that occurred in Iran - out with The Dollar puppet Shaw, and in with the new guys, then the new guys will need a replacement for The Dollar.
Iran has oil.
Egypt has the canal that allows oil to be shipped economically, or inexpensively compared to going around Africa, or through pipelines over land, and therefore through countries where regimes may charge too much for passage.
The power struggle will therefore shift power, significantly, toward or away from The Dollar power, as passage through the Suez Canal either backs group A or group B.
Group A is The Dollar
Group B is the competition
Islamic Finance is one of many options available to the new guys running Egypt.
Which will they choose?
If that choice isn't even reported, then the report is missing a key piece of the puzzle.
If the new guys want military hardware, or parts for the military hardware they have, can they buy from The Federal Reserve, U.S.A. Inc. LLC, Washington, and The Dollar Hegemony if the new guys are not fully on board with the laundry list of demands issued by Washington, The Federal Reserve, U.S.A. Inc. LLC, and The Dollar Hegemony?
If they can buy military hardware, oil, and other things from subsidiaries of U.S.A. Inc. LLC, Washington, The Federal Reserve, and The Dollar Hegemony, what currency will they use to buy those military hardware supplies?
Who supplies Cuba, and Venezuela, and Iran with military hardware?
A. The Dollar Hegemony
B. The competition
Who offers the best stuff, at the lowest cost?
Islamic Finance charges no interest.
Interest is the cost of borrowing money.
Capitalism is the method by which price is determined or fixed at "that which the market will bear".
If Islamic Finance charges no interest, then Islamic Finance does not fix price according to capitalist dogma.
Which competitive monetary policy is the higher quality monetary policy at the lower cost; and therefore which competitive monetary policy would gain the most market share if the market was a free market?
Here is where the capitalist propagandists run into their own falsehoods, their contradictions are exposed, and the Real News is right here, as people may want to know the truth about the power struggle between socialism and capitalism, East and West.
A. The Dollar Hegemony
B. The competition.
The application of force, military (hardware or physical force) and political (software or psychological) toward the elimination of competition is the force that disqualifies a market as a free market and this comes straight from capitalist dogma.
To commit fraud is to apply political force toward the elimination of competition and end what was a free market before the competitor was rendered power-less by victimization.
A subsidy is a very good example of political fraud.
Competitor A receives power from the political force while competitor B does not receive power from the political force, rendering competitor B power-less and rending competitor A power-full - ending competition.
Competitor A can then lower his price and still balance the books, while competitor B cannot. Competitor A can then increase quality by investing the subsidized power to purchase while competitor B cannot.
This is all straight from capitalist dogma.
What about money?
The moment any law is made by which one money is more powerful, by law, than another money, is the moment that law is used to end monetary competition, even if the one money made more powerful by law is gold.
Lawful money is a political quality of money, and a powerful quality since lawful money is the money required to pay when taxes are required to pay, and anyone without lawful money will be guilty of tax evasion - plain and simple.
Therefore lawful money, according to capitalist dogma, ends the free money market, as one money, the lawful money, is subsidized, and made more powerful by forcing people to use the lawful money, and forcing people to pay higher costs if they choose the unlawful money.
Once political power, and/or military power, is used to end competition in money, by way of subsidy, by way of making one money more powerful than another money, by way of punishing those who don't have lawful money, once that is done, the money made lawful no longer has the force of competition working toward higher quality and lower cost.
The sky is the limit as to how low the quality of the lawful monopoly money can go, and the price (interest rate) for the lawful money can also go as high as the sellers, producers, The Federal Reserve, want to charge for that monopoly money.
Any person in America, or anyone anywhere on the Globe called Earth, if allowed to have a choice between money A and money B where the two have an equal ability to purchase, and money A cost nothing to borrow, and money B cost 10% interest to borrow, in a free market, would anyone choose the higher cost money, and if so why?
A. The Dollar Hegemony product
B. One example of the competition
Islamic Finance News
At least $500 billion in assets around the world are managed in accordance with Sharia, or Islamic law, and the sector is growing at more than 10% per year.
Here is where readers may loose interest due to a perceived insurmountable complexity; however this is easy to see.
A growth rate of 10% can be compared to the often repeated dogma behind many over-population doom day reports where the report is used to scare people into believing that the human species is doomed. Too many people, not enough stuff, because the number of people are growing exponentially.
Malthusian growth model
An increase of 10% per year is a rate of increase that doubles in size every 7 years.
Caculator
10% = double every 7 years
A. The Dollar Hegemony
B. The competition
Despite all efforts to create and maintain a monopoly power, by forcefully eliminating the competition, using fraud and violence, using political and military power, despite all that expense the force of competition remains powerful, and this is also part of the capitalist dogma.
Capitalist dogma contradicts itself, the actual people contradict themselves, in money (and labor) markets. There are many capitalists who say one thing for all other markets and they say the opposite thing for money and labor markets.
The price of money, according to capitalist dogma, is determined by market forces, and therefore the best money at the lowest cost will be the money that gains the most market share, and that best money, at the lowest cost, will always be the money of choice, who would choose the worst money at the highest cost, ever, unless forced by trickery or by threat of violence, or by actual violence, forced to "choose" the lower quality and higher cost money; an offer they can't refuse?
If the reader is a capitalist, or if the reader has access to a capitalist that is willing to speak truthfully, then either look in the mirror, or call up your capitalist friend, and ask him which money is the best money.
The capitalist inside will short circuit, or the capitalist on the phone will short circuit, and the answer will never appear - ever.
If the capitalist inside says that the best money is gold, or if the capitalist on the phone says that the best money is gold, then that can of worms will only delay the inevitable short circuit - it is cover story.
The gold versus paper money fight is another example of evidence leading to the accurate identification of people who produce this type of conflict so as to divide and conquer the target market.
The Real News here is that the free market does exist despite all the power that has and is being expended in the work of eliminating free choice.
The free market is free choice, the free market is never present when a choice is based upon deliberate falsehood or deliberate threat or use of violence.
Protesters who have had enough falsehood, fraud, threat of violence, and use of violence may want to combine their power, if they have command of their power of numbers, toward the creation and maintenance of the best money at the lowest cost.
1. The Dollar Hegemony (a tool by which boom and bust is perpetuated)
2. Islamic Finance (Interest charges or usury is against the law)
3. The competition (including negative interest money)
Ask the questions following:
1. Which military hardware will the new Egyptian regime choose to buy?
2. Which money will the new Egyptian regime choose to buy?
3. Will the Egyptian regime choose capitalism or socialism?
What will be the answers? The first 2 questions will be factual, the third question requires a look in the mirror to find the answer.
I'm returning to the Real News report.
You know, that was seen by Washington as some kind of communist state and closely allied to the Soviet Union, so part of the Soviet system. And the United States faced Egypt through its main region- -and oldest regional ally, which is the Saudi Kingdom, which we shouldn't forget, every time, that the Saudi Kingdom is by far the most undemocratic, the most anti-women, the most obscurantist and fundamentalist state of the whole region, and that compared to Saudi Kingdom, Iran, even Iran is a beacon of democracy and women's liberation
When that person says "we" as in "we shouldn't forget" he may know, without a shadow of doubt, that some people must forget certain facts, because certain facts destroy the false front that certain people construct as certain people construct false front to accomplish certain things.
East vs West
Capitalism vs Socialism
Despotism vs Democracy
Austrian Economics vs Keynesian Economics
The construction of certain things require work, willful work, and deliberate work, and work that has a design, and work that has a purpose, such as the purpose: to conquer.
A. One Division
B. Two Division
We may very well not want to forget some things, others of us can't stand to know some things, to do so would be earth shattering events, and to do so, to know, would be horrific, and terrifying, to see one's own accountability is, to some, unthinkable - against the law.
