Dominate Egypt? If the military colludes with Islamists to remain in power, obviously it, and not Islamists retains ultimate control. This is the key point that conventional analysts miss: the recent election results allow the military to keep power . As aspiring Egyptian politician Mohamed ElBaradei correctly notes, “it is all in the hands of SCAF right now.” True, if Islamists control the parliament (not a sure thing; the military could yet decide to reduce their percentage in future rounds of an unusually complex voting procedure open to abuse), they acquire certain privileges and move the country further toward the Shari'a - as far, anyway, as SCAF permits. This maintains the long-term trend of Islamization underway since the military seized power in 1952. What about Western policy? First, press SCAF to build the civil society that must precede real democracy, so that the modern and moderate civilians in Egypt have a chance to express themselves. Second, instantly cease all economic aid to Cairo. It is unacceptable that Western taxpayers pay, even indirectly, for Islamizing Egypt. Resume funding only when the government allows secular Muslims, liberals, and Copts, among others, freely to express and organize themselves. Third, oppose both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis. Less extreme or more, Islamists of every description are our worst enemies. Mr. Pipes ( www.DanielPipes.org ) is president of the Middle East Forum and Taube fellow at the Hoover Institution. Ms Farahat is an Egyptian activist and co-author of a book about the Tahrir Square protests. A man walks by a graffito that proclaims “No to military rule,” crosses out a picture of military dictator Mohamed at-Tantawi and calls him a “fag.” Dec. 6, 2011 addendum : The text above refers to the USSR but Russia held elections two days ago that the U.S. secretary of state denounced for their “electoral fraud and manipulation.” At least they don't insult everyone's intelligence with 99-percent results. Egypt's military rulers said Wednesday that they would control the process of writing a constitution and maintain authority over the interim government to check the power of Islamists who have taken a commanding lead in parliamentary elections. मिस्र पर नियंत्रण? यदि सेना सत्ता में बने रहने के लिये इस्लामवादियों के साथ समझौता करती है जो कि ऐसा करेगी और इस्लामवादी अंतिम रूप से पूरा नियंत्रण स्थापित नहीं करते। यह मुख्य बिंदु है जिसे कि परम्परागत विश्लेषक भूल जा रहे हैं: हाल के चुनाव परिणाम से सेना को सत्ता पर नियंत्रण का अवसर मिलता है। जैसा कि मिस्रके उदीयमान राजनेता मोहम्मद अल बरदेयी ने सही ही कहा है, “ अभी तो सब कुछ एससीएसएफ के हाथ में है”।

Sporty's, not surprisingly, informed the FBI about Mr. Maawad's order and federal agents searched his apartment in September. There they found flight simulation software and detailed information on Memphis International Airport. Mr. Maawad was then indicted for wire fraud and fraudulent use of a Social Security number. लोगों ने सोचा होगा कि मेमफिसटेन में रहने वाला मिस्र का 29 वर्षीय गैर-कानूनी अप्रवासी महमूद मावाद कुछ दबकर रहेगा और स्वयं को मुसीबत से अलग रखेगा लेकिन उसने जान बूझकर इसके विपरीत किया . उसने सामाजिक सुरक्षा का फर्जी नंबर लेकर मेमफीस के विश्वविद्यालय के बिजनेस स्कूल में नामांकन कराया , घरेलू सामानों की व्यवस्था की और बैंक में खाता भी खोला . उसने पुस्तकें बेंची और 2005 के आरंभ में एक नाबालिग को अल्कोहल बेचने के आरोप में गिरफ्तार हुआ इसके बाद 2005 के मध्य में उसने Sporty's pilotshop से हवाईजहाज से जुड़े 3300 यू एस डॉलर के सामान खरीदने का ऑर्डर किया . इन सामानों में पायलट का यूनीफार्म , फ्लाईट गेयर बैग , रेडियो संप्रेषण हैंडबूक तथा हाउ एन एयरलाईन कैप्टन शुड लुक एंड ऐक्ट शीर्षक की डीवीडी शामिल है . इन सबसे उपर उसने इन सामानों की मांग क्षमता से अधिक खर्च किए गए क्रेडिट कार्ड के जरिए की . Sporty's pilotshop ने इसकी जानकारी एफ.बी.आई को दी और संघीय एजेन्टों ने सितंबर में मावाद के घर की तलाशी ली..वहां उन्होंने उड़ान से संबंधित सॉफ्टवेयर और मेम्फीस हवाई अड्डे की विस्तृत जानकारी बरामद की .इसके बाद मावाद को धोखे से सामाजिक सुरक्षा नंबर प्रयोग करने के आरोप में तथा क्रेडिट कार्ड में धोखाधड़ी के मामले में आरोपी बनाया गया . यह तो पूरी तरह स्थापित तथ्य है कि मावाद के मस्तिष्क में आतंकवाद की योज़ना थी .उसके कार्य उसे पूरी तरह से मेरे नवनिर्मित बेवकूफ आतंकवादी क्लब का सदस्य बनाते हैं. उसके साथ कई अन्य सदस्य भी इसमें शामिल हैं .

The first commercial deployment of a short message service center (SMSC) was by Aldiscon (now Acision) with Telia (now TeliaSonera) in Sweden in 1993[21], followed by Fleet Call (now Nextel)[citation needed] in the US, Telenor in Norway[citation needed] and BT Cellnet (now O2 UK)[citation needed] later in 1993. All first installations of SMS gateways were for network notifications sent to mobile phones, usually to inform of voice mail messages. The first commercially sold SMS service was offered to consumers, as a person-to-person text messaging service by Radiolinja (now part of Elisa) in Finland in 1993. It should be noted that most early GSM mobile phone handsets did not support the ability to send SMS text messages, and Nokia was the only handset manufacturer whose total GSM phone line in 1993 supported user-sending of SMS text messages.Initial growth was slow, with customers in 1995 sending on average only 0.4 messages per GSM customer per month.[22] One factor in the slow takeup of SMS was that operators were slow to set up charging systems, especially for prepaid subscribers, and eliminate billing fraud which was possible by changing SMSC settings on individual handsets to use the SMSCs of other operators 1998 में फिनलैंड में मोबाइल भुगतान की पहली कोशिश की गई थी जब एस्पो में दो कोका-कोला विक्रय मशीन SMS के भुगतान के साथ काम करने में सक्षम थे.अंततः यह विचार फैला और 1999 में फिलीपींस ने मोबाइल ऑपरेटर ग्लोब और स्मार्ट पर पहली व्यापारिक मोबाइल भुगतान प्रणाली की शुरुआत करी.आज मोबाइल भुगतान मोबाइल बैंकिंग से मोबाइल क्रेडिट कार्ड से मोबाइल व्यापार तक एशिया और अफ्रीका और चुने हुए यूरोपीय बाजारों में बहुत ही व्यापक रूप से प्रयोग किए जाते हैं. उदाहरण के लिए फिलीपींस में यह असामान्य नहीं है की किसी की पूरी तनख्वाह का मोबाइल बिल के भुगतान में किया गया हो.केन्या में एक मोबाइल बैंकिंग खाते से दूसरे में धन के हस्तांतरण की सीमा 10 लाख अमरीकी डॉलर है.भारत में उपयोगिता बिल को मोबाईल से चुकाने पर 5% डिस्काउंट मिलता है.एस्टोनिया में सरकार ने अपराधियों को नकद पार्किंग शुल्क लेते हुए पाया इसलिए सरकार ने घोषित किया कि पार्किंग के लिए केवल SMS के माध्यम से ही मोबाइल भुगतान मान्य होगा और आज एस्टोनिया में पूर्ण पार्किंग शुल्क मोबाइल के द्वारा नियंत्रित किया जाता है और इस क्रिया में से अपराध ख़त्म हो चूका है.

May 30, 2011 update :Balyoz keeps rolling along: less than two weeks before the general elections comes news today that Gen. Bilgin Balanlı , commander of the War Academies, has been arrested, making him the highest ranking active duty officer yet hauled off to prison. More broadly, 29 out of approximately 300 flag officers are under arrest. The deprivation of liberty of the 250 detained defendants in the Balyoz or Sledgehammer cases is arbitrary. … Consequent upon the opinion rendered, the Working Group requests the Government of Turkey to remedy the situation of these 250 persons in accordance with the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Working Group considers that, taking into account all the circumstances of the case, an adequate remedy would be an enforceable right to compensation. Aug. 5, 2013 update : Despite the weakness and fraud of its case, the AKP government has plowed ahead and today pronounced prison sentences in the other plot, the Ergenekon one dating from 2007. It includes top military officers, opposition politicians, and journalists. As Hürriyet Daily News summarizes the case, “A total of 275 suspects, 66 of them under arrest, were awaiting rulings this morning. Some 33 indictments have been submitted in the course of the Ergenekon trials, which saw over 130 witnesses testify at hearings.” The most spectacular piece of news is the life sentence given the former chief of general staff, İlker Başbuğ, but the list is a long and severe one. An excerpt from the Hürriyet Daily News article: Journalist Tuncay Özkan, retired general Veli Küçük and lawyer Kemal Kerinçsiz were sentenced to aggravated life sentences. Özkan was also sentenced to an additional 16 years. Workers' Party leader Doğu Perinçek received aggravated life sentence and an additional 30 years in prison. Retired colonel Fikri Karadağ and retired general Hasan Ataman Yıldırım also received aggravated life sentences. Retired General Hurşit Tolon was sentenced to life in prison while another retired General Levent Ersöz was sentenced to 22 years six months. The court handed down life sentences to the retired generals Hasan Iğsız and Nusret Taşdelen, as well as retired colonel Fuat Selvi. … Writer Yalçın Küçük was also sentenced to 22 years and six months in prison. On similar charges, the court sentenced former head of the Higher Education Board of Turkey (YÖK) Kemal Gürüz to 13 years and 11 months, historian Mehmet Perinçek, who is the son of Doğu Perinçek, to six years, and alleged mob leader Sedat Peker was given a 10 year sentence. Former North Sea Field Commander Mehmet Otuzbiroğlu was sentenced to 20 years and 6 months. Journalist Erol Manisalı was sentenced to nine years. Author Ergün Poyraz was handed down a 29 years and four months sentence while journalist Güler Kömürcü was sentenced to seven years and six months. Workers' Party (İP) executives Hayrettin Ertekin was sentenced to 16 years, Hikmet Çiçek was sentenced to 21 years and nine months. The party's lawyer Emcet Olcaytu received 13 years and two months. Former rectors Ferit Bernay and Mustafa Abbas were each sentenced to ten years in prison. … Former police chief Adil Serdar Saçan was sentenced to 14 years in prison. Former mayor Gürbüz Çapan received one year. Comment : Seen in the light of June's Gezi Park demonstrations, these sentences imply that Erdoğan is further doubling down to discredit, marginalize, and criminalize his political opponents. It's not a tactic that will end well for him.
