The Egyptian Revolution of January 25 AKA Lotus Revolution

Having lived and worked in Egypt for more than ten years, having myself seen police brutality first hand, corruption at all levels from hospitals to the investment authority, having experienced as the anti-Mubarak protesters false accusations like Israeli agent and basically feeling that these people had been robbed, raped and worst really made me want to do something to help them.

At first it seemed like it would just be a blood bath and as I tweeted RT, posted of Facebook and researched ways to counter the different moves the pro-Mubarak group were doing I thought on the courage of these individuals which if this whole thing failed would be subject to the vengeance of the security apparatus of the Government.

Honestly as a non Egyptian if I was in Egypt with my family, I don't know if I would have had as much courage as my friends had. I am sure that more than 300 people died and many more were tortured the price Egypt paid for freedom to come, let all these people be remembered and honored and I hope that a fund will be set up to help their families.

There are so many other countries or people in that part of the world that need and deserve the right to auto determination to democracy who will be next ? lets keep the ball rolling!!!


Guide To Internet Revolutionary - Level 1/ Roukie

In our day and age the internet has become a real weapon for activist, recently with the ongoing revolution in Egypt the fascist state realized how important an information system the internet was for the revolution that they cut it off and then switched it back on to track and arrest activists using it using American Technology. In this basic guide I will out line what I call the Roukie level 1.

First you will need an old laptop that can boot from USB (check in the BIOS of laptop in Boot Sequence or Boot options) preferably one that can not be traced back to you without a hard drive (yes you will not need it) and a 2GB mini usb stick (they now make them small enough to hide or swallow).


Purchase or find list

Mini Usb stick 2 GB
Small diskless Laptop

Setup


First use a working computer dose not have to be safe internet connection could be from home and follow below instructions to create a bootable chrome OS USB Stick


1) Download Chrome OS image Link
2) Follow instructions on how to make stick Link

Now you should be ready to go "anonymous" from now on do not use the HD less laptop from a traceable internet connection, do not use it to connect to accounts on the net that can be traced to you keep your Revolutionary ID separate from your real self, do not reveal yourself to anyone you know (yes I know the life of a net revolutionary is lonely) dont forget if you can not keep a secret than dont expect anyone else to keep one.

So now you are in an a cafe with open Wifi plug in the USB stick and start the Laptop.
