Text of the document:
Ministry of the Interior:
Minister’s Office
Circular No. 60 / B / M
Secret and very important (written by hand)

Topic: Plan to address the mass demonstrations
Strategies
1 – Allowing the demonstrations to pass in the streets of cities and villages of the country since today, without objection, and to exercise extreme caution while shooting the live, rubber bullets and the tear gas. This must be done according to the competent jurisdiction mentioned in the table sent to you.
2- To employ a number of (thugs, criminals, bullies) and to pay them well after meeting them at their homes in private and at gathering places by authorized elements, without official mission status and to explain to them the deployment plans according to the attached table of the sites entitled to -1- and tell them about the times of their movement and the plan to create scalable chaos mentioned in the statement.
3 – Controlling individuals, parties, organizations through coordination with printing and publishing houses and communication facilities; keeping a complete record of incoming and outgoing messages and calls and analyzing its content by writing reports about the each case since the information is received.
4 – We will cut the communications (Mobile – Internet) services from 6 AM on Friday, 28 1 2011; we will keep the landlines in service. All our officers and elements must be ready to use wireless communications devices, and to be sure that they are able to use encryption devices.
5 – The plan of the deployment of police, detectives and secret service personnel will be in civilian clothes, according to the annex entitled B-2.
6 – The demonstrations of Friday 28 01 2011 must be held in public squares and other central locations. The events must be stopped from access to the areas on alert, according to the attached map entitled 3.
7 – To make sure to arm the elements in civilian clothes with wooden sticks, small iron pieces for use during arrests of the main elements and the leaders of the demonstrations, without showing any violence.
8 – Firing rubber bullets and tear gas but without using live bullets, which are only allowed by alarm and only if absolutely necessary.
9 – Show partial disability from 4 PM on Friday, which shows that the police force is unable to guarantee security, and show the superiority of the demonstrators, while allowing the infiltration of elements of item 2 (thugs and criminals) to cause limited chaos during the demonstrations and according to the plan agreed with them before that.
10 – A full withdrawal of police, the central security forces, the traffic police and reassigning them to guard and protect government sites and institutions … wearing civilian clothes; and to be present on side roads and “around trees” and to engagement between the lines of the organizers of the demonstrations and in the parking lots without interfering in any negative phenomena and without revealing their identities or interfering in the street movements until they receive orders to do so …
11 – Emptying the police stations of weapons, ammunition and prisoners and transferring all to the central prison and place them under heavy guard; sending specials forces, private security elements, collaborators and secret service elements to jail instead of them. (Comment: so that they will be freed instead of the original prisoners).
12 – Broadcasting rumors through all media about acts of looting and theft; this will be accomplished by placing by our female elements at different locations, near the foreign media, who will cry and tell about strong panic. The rumors spread will be according to the plan of spreading rumors attached to you.
13 – Broadcast direct messages through individuals or indirect messages distributed through leaflets to the foreign media located near the events about of acts of looting and breaking into banks, shops and police stations to coincide with the deployment of the bully plan mentioned in item 2, in order to spread the impression a state of general panic and terror in the streets and to show that there is civil and popular demand for the presence of police, military, public security organs in these locations.
14 – Issuing direct and indirect hints through national and foreign media about the formation of committees to protect the popular neighborhoods in order to cause members of the demonstrations to go away or to their sites without the need of imposition of any force by the army on them.
15 – Spreading false rumors and false information through all means, through foreign media stations only, and then correcting that information through local media stations, in order to gain the confidence of the public and divert the attention from these stations and so discredit them in all incoming calls to the local media stations.
16 – Broadcasting strong rumors through the national and foreign media about the existence of chaos and the escape of prisoners and stating a fake big number of the prisoners who escaped, specially of dangerous prisoners, and claiming that those dangerous prisoners have been seen within residential areas.
17 – Calling upon all people across the media to format popular committees to watch day and night to protect the living. The calls must be send through the voices of women, members of the security as was agreed in the meeting with you earlier.
18 – Following the situation on the ground by the security forces who will find out the approximate number of opposition elements and demonstrators, according to item 2.
19 – Extensive contacts and personal calls to all media which show that the presence of people’s committees for the protection of neighborhoods, residential and commercial areas make things better.
20 – Start gradually showing solidarity with the regime and the leadership by raising signs of support for them at the right time, according to the plan.

reply to post by Vitchilo


They might not actually march anywhere. Supposedly the march to the palace is like 10 miles. Plus the protesters don't want to give up their position that they've fought so hard for. If they don't have the square, the protests might be over. So they are highly reluctant to even leave.

Boatload of people!

I have a soft spot for people that incite war.

The spiritual leader's remarks were received by cheering crowds of worshippers who, raising their hands, chanted "Death to America! Death to Israel!"

This doesn't sound very friendly to me.

Also, if Egypt is to follow Iran in its footsteps, christians wouldn't be so happy in a country with the Sharia law, which, IMO, isn't that friendly.

PS: I also do not condone the actions of any non-secular gvt.

reply to post by flk1331


Obviously still no anser to my question..

When was the last time Iran started a War.??

If the question is too hard maybe I can ask you another one..
Like when was the last time Israel or the US started a War??

As much as we all want the Egyptian people to have a peaceful and prosperous nation; here's another senario:

George Noory (Egyptian father and Lebanese mother) and Alex Jones:


www.youtube.com...

Where have I said in the first post that Iran started a war? And what does this have to do with it? I didn't specify WHO starts the war, and, just to let you feel better, if it's after me, Israel would be my bet of starting WW3.

inciting wars =/= waging wars

I just don't approve either of them. Wars are bad.

looks like accusing Iran of leading to WW3, though I note you now think Israel would be the more likely to do that..
Sounds like a safer bet than Iran..

This is where all the rhetoric breaks down. People of faith standing together. This is NOT an islamist anything, this is about honest average men and women.

Egypt’s embattled President Hosni Mubarak’s and his family’s net worth is estimated to be between U.S. dollars 40 and 70 billion, a media report said. The wealth of the Egypt’s first family was built largely from military contracts during his days as an air force officer; Mr. Mubarak eventually diversified his investments through his family when he became President in 1981, the ABC News quoted experts as saying.

1 tweet said that the republican guard had left the palace, although i can't find anything to support that.

They describe the first as pro-stability and pro-dialogue and the latter as demanding political reforms. So, at the moment the two sides are busy with their separate rallies. The Tahrir Square crowd aren't going anywhere. Across town Mubarak's supporters are gathering.

"Talaat harb square east of tahrir is chaos now but the barricade itself not under attack, the fighting is in the street."

Tantawi visited the square earlier (defense minister, head of the Army). Anti-Mubarak protesters welcomed him. He may have been there to boost or ensure Army morale around the square.

Finance Minister has announced that $850M will be distributed as compensation for property damage during the protests.

Please tell me their crimes...

Can you please take that bullcrap and put it where it belongs please? :-)

Like in the fiction section at your local library.

You want to know their crimes? Take a look at the innocent people they slay. Take a look at what freedom the Iranian people in Iran have compared to yourself. You are free to type this in defence of the Iranian regime. Yet. If you were in Iran and you'd write ANYTHING in defense of any outside government, you could bet your ass on it you'd be hanging in a square somewhere after a speedy, not to forget unjust, trial.

It's as simple as that. Either you can compute it or not.

What I suspect though is that you cannot make a difference between the people and the government. You cannot speak of the regime as something that is part of Iran, in fact, if an Iranian is working towards enlightenment of her/his people, whether that be on political/social/religious grounds, he/she is instantly demonized and hunted by the regime. And you want to know their crimes? Hush...you've been buying into too much propaganda.

Edit2: Khamenei is saying these things because he is afraid because Iranians were in the streets chanting "death to Khamenei" last year, was it not? So he jumps on the next best bandwagon cowards can find: Religion.

reply to post by backinblack


I think he was talking about human rights.... If these protesters fought to simply fall into a Iranian mold, this will have all been for NOTHING!

Get off the defense Black.. Nobody spoke of Iranian crimes!
