Censored Freedom Of Speech Jewish Style


At the same time that a dozen or so Jewish writers and their intellectual running dogs have been huffing and puffing their peculiar style of dismay at the fact that freedom of speech is once again being debated, they have been doing something else. To begin with, these people would be the fake Semites who did as much as tear the hair out of their skulls, tear the entrails out of their bellies, moan their pain at the chest, bang their heads against the wall and cry out the aching in their bellies each time that someone said something that made them feel “uncomfortable” because it may or may not have carried an “anti-Semitic” connotation.

And what are these people doing now? They are tearing the hair out of their skulls, tearing the entrails out of their bellies, moaning the pain at the chest, banging the head against the wall and crying out the aching in their bellies because they fear they may no longer be able to insult the authentic Semitic religion of the Muslims – without someone asking them to explain what the hell they think they are doing.

Is that all they are doing? Oh no. No. These people never stop when it is necessary for them to take a breather. They keep going till they get hurt and get someone else hurt along with them.

What they did this time is force the CNN Business website to yank a nice little article that was there for a few minutes about the Egyptian economy. It is that the hate in the heart of these people is so massive and so explosive, they are now doing to CNN what they did to me more than 40 years ago.

It was then that they censored me for writing a nice little article about Egypt in the Toronto Star, and blacklisted me to make sure I shall never again write such articles. This was an act that many people now feel shame for letting it happen and for participating in it; yet do not know how to end.

But I know how to end the predicament in which CNN finds itself, I here publish that which they were forced to yank out. Thus, instead of reading:

“Not Found”
“Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.”

Here is what was there but is no more:

Suez Canal zone on hunt for foreign investment
CNN Sept 19, 2012

Suez, Egypt (CNN) - The Suez Canal is a crucial seaway and money maker for Egypt. Around 10 percent of oceanic trade will by pass through these narrow waters, earning Egypt over $5 billion a year. It is now helping to boost Egypt's economy even more.

It has long been a vital link between East and West. The Suez Canal sits at a crossroad, linking Asia, Africa and Europe.

Now Egypt wants to squeeze more out of this strategic location.
The idea is to turn this dusty 20 square kilometer patch of land into a special industrial zone called SEZone or Suez Economic Zone.

And one of the first order's of business: making it easier for companies to do business in Egypt by cutting through red tape and government bureaucracy.

Chairman Ahmed Amin told CNN’s Ian Lee that it's all about streamlining investment.
“It is a one stop shop and it avoids the part when it comes to the red tape, the corruption, and things like that. It is very important for the investor when he wants to start a project anywhere in the world to know the procedures in advance,” said Amin.

This building will be that one stop shop, and house everything a company needs to set up and operate in Egypt. The idea was taken out of the Chinese playbook.

The Chinese are helping Egypt set up this zone – and signs of the partnership are clear. The Chinese investment firm TEDA is the first company poised to start development.

“The new area of the 6 km of land Teda is going to develop in eight to 10 years will include six different types of industries. At the end of the day we hope to reach a total investment of $1-$1.2 billion,” said Li Daixin, vice president of TEDA-Egypt Investment.

It's the area's easy access to ports and foreign markets that attracted TEDA, part of the company's "New Silk Road, New Oasis" initiative, according to Li Daixin.

“Chinese companies are trying to establish a new Silk Road to grow the relationship between the East and West. Egypt is important in establishing this new Silk Road,” he said.

Not only is the location optimal but also Egypt's labor pool, access to duty free imports of materials and favorable trade agreements.

“When it comes to being an investor, it is opening up several markets with a population of 1.8 billion people, so I think it's a great opportunity to utilize these agreements in Egypt,” said Amin.
That's free trade access to roughly a quarter of the world's population and includes such markets as the United States, Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa.

Egypt is set to benefit greatly. The plan predicts 120 thousands jobs will be created once the project is completed and a new city, Sokhna will rise from the desert.

The old ways of doing business are fading according to Amin. If it comes together, the Suez Canal will soon be known as more than just a shortcut, but as an economic hub.
