The latest rumour in Egypt

Last week the NDP member Mr.Hisham Mustafa Khalil ,the MP and the son of the ex-prime minister Mustafa Khalil in late Sadaat era presented a project for a new law to the Parliament ,it is his first , and I guess it is the first time in this Parliament session for NDP to present new ideas for new laws

Usually it is government ,anyway it makes no difference what so ever , as the government is NDP and NDP is the government , the majority party which has the right to form a government

The Law is called "The law of rumours fighting " !!! yes you read it correctly rumours fighting ,you know rumours ,the false information that are spread between the people to cause chaos whether politically or economically just like what happened in the late Egyptian Stock Market "it is dead now as someone who studied stock market and got two friends one analysis's it and the other owns a brokerage company, I advice to invest your money in another place ,this is not a rumour"

The law says that the punishment of those people behind the rumours should be jail !!

There is one thing I don't understand in this law story ,how can they arrest the bad guys who make and spread rumours if the source of the rumours is always anonymous !?

Yet I understand that these real rumours sources are not the target , this law is targeting Journalism and Newspapers, the news that cause chaos and hurt other people without a proof or source to trace back is considered a rumour :)

This is another way the regime has reached to limit the freedom of journalism and expression , to oppress loud complaining voices by saying "Show us the source " !! I am afraid our regime doesn't respect the secrecy of sources in Journalism like in other civilised free societies "who said we are one !?" As if we don't have enough stupid laws oppressing the freedom of Journalism , ironically President Mubarak in every interview whether in Television or radio or newspaper he says that he supports the freedom of Journalism as it is a part of the democracy he decided to foster in his era !!

by the way some parts of my brain says that this law is made for both journalists and bloggers !! yes we are under the regime microscope now , and I don't like this ,already next Monday there will be a televised report about us on Channel Two I feel it will make us appear like bunch of atheist nerd hippies who use bad languages in their blogs !!

before the end I will say the last rumour I read

IN the next month or the month after it , there will be very soon change in the cabinet not only ministerial changes by great changes in the regime , including The appointment of General Omar Soliman the head of intelligence as the vice president "Chill out army no civilian will get it ,I hope so" this may be a good news , the bad news is Mubarak the son a.k.a GM in this blog is going to be our prime minister "another tall man, we had enough of one already "

What do you think about this rumour ?? naughty one :)

Well i hope it will rumour
