Mubarak in life/death state in Germany hospital
We have learned through foreign sources that Hosni Mubarak was flown this morning to a Baden hospital in Germany after falling into a coma. The report was confirmed this morning by Bahrain daily Al Wasat who indicated that just prior to leaving for his resort in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Mubarak became comatose.

Apparently, prior to delivering his last speech on national Egyptian television, we also learned that Mubarak had fainted. This is the explanation given for the delay between the announcement of his anticipated speech and his actual appearance several hours later.

1. If this turns out to be true, did they have to
inject him with drugs to make him comatose so as they could make him leave the country?

16. Reminds me of the whole - President Obama spoke to the Saudi King about Mubarak and the King was so
upset that he died. Obama is killing other foreign leaders just through phone calls!!!

We will see.

22. This guy has been tracking reports..
Where is Mubarak?
UAE, Sharm, Germany?

Ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has not been seen since his nationally televised address on Thursday, raising unanswered questions about his current whereabouts.

An official source in Sharjah's Department of Civil Aviation denied that former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's plane landed in Sharjah International Airport.

25. If true, paranoid dictators the world over are crapping their shorts.
If being deposed as a tool of TPTB is a terminal condition, things are going to get really, really ugly for the people of their countries.

28. Egyptian leader’s health on radar of U.S.
Edited on Sun Feb-13-11 05:27 PM by Dover
Story written last July -


Sunday, July 18, 2010

...Mr. Mubarak on Sunday held meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; President Obama‘s special envoy to the Middle East conflict, George J. Mitchell; and the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas.

Nonetheless, the 82-year-old Egyptian leader is thought by most Western intelligence agencies to be dying from terminal cancer affecting his stomach and pancreas.

Earlier this month, several Arab and Hebrew newspapers reported that Mr. Mubarak recently sought treatment for his ailment at a hospital in France. A senior Egyptian government official interviewed for this article said those reports were “without any factual basis whatsoever.”

There are, however, other indications that Mr. Mubarak‘s health is failing. In March, the Egyptian leader traveled to Germany for what at the time was said to be gallbladder surgery, a treatment that took him out of action for six weeks, according to a special report on Egypt in the current issue of the Economist...cont'd

Hosni Mubarak makes TV address in attempt to halt health rumours
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jul/23/hosni-mubarak-health-egypt


For Egypt, Mubarak's health and successor are guessing games

So goes a summer of speculation and chatter over the health of President Hosni Mubarak. The man who has ruled Egypt for nearly 30 years dominates the nation's consciousness like a patriarch in a novel written long ago. There are whispers and asides, but few really know how the president is faring or what is unfolding behind the palace gates.

It is the not knowing that wears on Egyptians, turning every sighting of Mubarak into a national parlor game over how he looks, speaks, walks and smiles. Israeli news reports say he's dying. Egypt's state-run newspapers say he's likely to seek reelection in 2011.
With no vice president or clear successor, these are anxious days along the Nile, and in Washington too.

Worries over Mubarak, a U.S. ally who has battled Islamic extremism and kept the peace with Israel, have risen and ebbed for years. The recent tension began in March when the president traveled to Germany and underwent gallbladder surgery and had a growth removed from his intestine. He did not appear in public for days, and it wasn't until the Egyptian stock market tumbled and the satirical Internet song "Mubarak Is Dead" surfaced that he was shown on TV speaking to his doctors.

Since then, the president has remained at least fleetingly in the public eye, holding talks from his gold-brocaded chair with world leaders and attending an air force parade. But for many Egyptians the photo-ops are less than convincing as government handlers, rushing about like image consultants and makeup artists, prop up the stately aura of a frail 82-year-old man reportedly angry about the frequent suggestions of his demise.

Concern over the president's well-being mirrors the country's unsettling predicament: An era is ending; the future is not defined...cont'd
