Elections 2010 Follow Up : The Big Day Is Here “Updated”

The big man voted

“The biggest elections in the history of Egypt” as described in Al Ahram newspaper today , strangely as far as I remember every election is described by the regime media as the greatest , the biggest and far most important elections in Egypt !! May be because our population is growing by time and this is why our elections this year are the biggest, I do not know !!
The regime promised a democratic clean election in a way that forces us to ask : What about the previous elections.
Up till now all the news is depressing , really depressing with all the thuggery , the cheating and the hacking to websites. From North to South reports coming to the internet that committees are being closed , ballot cards are already in the boxes, there are empty committees that have not opened their doors.
First of all there are several websites that have been banned in Egypt including the official websites of the Muslim brotherhood and Shahid 2010. The websites are working outside Egypt by the way.
Here is the full list of the websites :

• ikhwanweb.com
• ikhwanonline.com
• egyptwindow.net
• dakahliaikhwan.com
• shahid2010.com
• ikhwanscope.com
• ikhwanophobia.com
• amlalommah.net

The ANHRI has published a list of proxies to browse these websites from inside Egypt. Yes proxies.
Second of all the Nadeem center has documented so far 150 violence incident and one murder so far in Mataria. There is a MB Candidate who is being hospitalized currently after being attacked by the NDP thugs.
The Al Jazeera crew in Suez was attacked and its cameras were confiscated !! As expected the NDP candidates are fighting each other in the same committee. The Zombies are voting again.
Third the NDP accused the BBC of defaming Egypt and spreading rumors !!
More updates to come.
