Here is a classic case of how fascist thugs in uniforms, armies and security forces, have been deployed to keep the people in line and locked in the chains of tyranny.
Egypt.
Said reporter Sharif Abdel Kouddous on Democracy Now today (from the transcript):
And, finally, we’re seeing also a resurgence of this kind of nationalism and a national amnesia, almost, that is applauding the army and the security forces to crack down with impunity and to lead the country in this transition. And we have to remember that this is the same army that really mismanaged the first transition, helped lead us to this political crisis in the first place, that is guilty of many crimes itself that were documented in a fact-finding commission commissioned by the ousted president. And so, you know, the jailers should themselves be jailed.
The jailers, the army and state security forces, he says "should be jailed" because of their jackboot tactics.
If the jailers in the armies and the fascist police departments were jailed throughout our prison planet then humanity would be cut free.
Also note Kouddous points out that the military is the main beneficiary of US aid to Egypt. So it is apparent the "fourth reich" or the empire is controlling events in Egypt.
The beat of tyranny goes on in Egypt. It goes on everywhere.

"The Jailers Should Be Jailed": Sharif Abdel Kouddous on the Embrace of Egypt's Military Post-Morsi
democracynow
After a week of relative quiet, new clashes have erupted in Egypt in the ongoing conflict over the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi. At least seven people were killed and more than 260 wounded in overnight violence after supporters of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood blocked traffic and marched on a key square. The unrest came just as the Obama administration resumed efforts to engage in Egypt's political divide. In the first visit by a U.S. official since Morsi's ouster, Deputy Secretary of State William Burns held talks with military leaders and the interim government. We go to Cairo to speak with Democracy Now! correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous. "We're seeing a resurgence of nationalism and national amnesia, almost, that is applauding the Army and the security forces to crack down with impunity and to lead the country's transition," Sharif says. "We have to remember this is the same Army that really mismanaged the first transition, helped lead us to this political crisis in the first place, that is guilty of many crimes itself. The jailers themselves should be jailed."
