Rubicon: March to Presidential Palace Being Organized?
— Ace

Zero Hedge helpfully provides street directions. The Heliopolis is 13 kilometers away, which he estimates will take 4-5 hours to reach on ambling, flag-waving foot. Corrected: Zero Hedge said 15 miles but the link itself (always check the link!) says 13 km, which is like, what, 8 miles? Walking quickly, the trip can be made in 30 minutes. But then, crowds don't move quickly, they amble.

Now, the military is probably going to blockade them. Because the military is trying to avoid actual violence while not picking a side. So, a blockade is non-violent.

But what happens if the crowd streams past or changes path?

At some point the military has to make a serious decision, whether to repel with force or let them go to the palace, and if they do the latter they might as well just storm the palace themselves.

Mubarak has a lot of secret police and thugs he can employ to stop them, too, of course. But at that point it's civil war, I think.

I have to think that at this point it turns violent... on both sides.

12 I listened to part of the speech and it sounds like Muby is giving in. The need to protest further is not necessary and anyone crossing the line needs to meet force at this point, imo.

Posted by: sTevo at February 10, 2011 01:25 PM (VMcEw)

13 From Hotair poster (posted it on other thread): People seem to think this is just about Obama and Mubarak, but it is not. Mubarak has done a crappy job of running Egypt and the people who actually live there have had enough of him after 29 years. And he can blame Obama all he wants, but this has coming for some time and I have a feeling that those people would have turned on him no matter who our president was. Obama did not handle this wellÂ…but geez I can not believe that people who support the Tea Party movement actually think that the only reason for a popular ground swell of opposition to a political leader is either outside interference or Islamism. This is what we are dealing with HERE!

27 Keep in mind that Egypt has a draft. I heard a pundit on Fox the other day say that the older military officers are cronies and supporters of Mubarek. The younger soldiers (many of them) don't want to be there.

This could get interesting. And not in a good way.

30 no I meant violent between secret police and the protesters, not with the military. if the military intervenes either way I imagine it will be over pretty quickly on whoever's side they decided to go with. I doubt the police are the only people with guns.

38 These sorts of confrontations are always about the protesters estimation of the will of the people in power to slaughter manypeople to keep power. The Egyptian protesters are betting that Mubarak won't unleash the military. The protesters in Tian an Men square made the same bet and lost, as did the Iranian protesters.

The poser lefty revolutionaries in this country know full well that nothing will happen to them. Perhaps we could charter a bus to Egypt and let them show us how dedicated they really are.

47 Best thing to do is let the military take control. You do not want a democracy in a land of radicals who think (80%) sharia law is the way to go. Democracy is useless without belief of a natural system of rights. Obama's little campaign speech was disgusting and I feel he might double down on stupid. He needs to shut up now.

I doubt that they're marching to the palace with the intent of storming it and physically taking it over; the anti-Mubarak protesters have been mostly non-violent so far. They'd have to know that between the military and security forces, they're not getting inside without a lot of blood being shed.

More likely it's just a symbolic gesture.

112 Obama is telling him to step down, blah, blah, blah...but a black man, with a Kenyan background, telling him what to do? That would be like a woman telling Mubarak to step down. Simply not done in the Arab world and the Saudis probably gave Obambi an earful today.

Endor is very low-gravity...except for the parts of it where the stuff in the movies happened. Those places are full of gravity-exuding bacteria. That's why the Ewoks in the movies are short. Gravity. The ones you can't see are huge! And fast!

And the rest of the planet looks like America in the '50s. Strode by giants! Wise-crackin' ones. With Brooklyn Yiddish accents. But they're black.

8 miles in 30 minutes is a speed of 16 mph. Most people can't even run that fast. Average walking speed is about 3 mph.
