…..because as this author suggests, the rape of Lara Logan, in one brutal moment, exposed the great lie that we are all the same the world over, hungering for freedom and across cultures have only lofty human aspirations. (Hat tip: Paul)
From Taki’s Magazine:
So Egypt is over. Oh, we’ll hear snippets and see some snapshots, but make no mistake, Egypt is over.
[…..]
…..the real reason Egypt is finished in the media is a single white female.
If you have not heard, CBS Chief Foreign Correspondent Lara Logan was gang-raped by 200 or so Egyptian men in the moments following Mubarak’s abdication. They were celebrating, you see.
But to read the inevitable after-effect of media censorship over the past several days she was not raped, she was “sexually assaulted,” which soon became simply “assaulted.” Given enough revisions, one wonders whether she will have merely been insulted.
What does this nearly unimaginable bestiality have to do with the cessation of reporting from or about Egypt? Everything.
Because, you recall, we are all the same. All races are the same. All cultures are the same. All civilizations are the same. All people everywhere, over the Earth’s disparate spaces, evolved in exactly the same way over millions and billions of years to render us, all of us, identically developed at this same moment in history. Astounding, isn’t it?
Read it all! And, have you noticed too that we don’t hear a peep anymore from the old media about the great democracy movement in Egypt.
Update: Not much interest in Egypt for bringing justice for Logan, here.
