From one Regiem to Another?

I just ran into this article and video today. Seems very much like the old dead one just made way for another here. My question is this. Will we ever be able to get out from under this kind of authority political figures and controls? To me it just seems that one bad political system was replaced with another from what is seen here.

Egyptian general admits 'virginity checks' conducted on Protesters

senior Egyptian general admits that "virginity checks" were
performed on women arrested at a demonstration this spring, the first
such admission after previous denials by military authorities.

The
allegations arose in an Amnesty International report, published weeks
after the March 9 protest. It claimed female demonstrators were beaten,
given electric shocks, strip-searched, threatened with prostitution
charges and forced to submit to virginity checks.
At that time, Maj. Amr Imam said 17 women had been arrested but denied allegations of torture or "virginity tests."
But now a senior general who asked not to be identified said the virginity tests were conducted and defended the practice. "The
girls who were detained were not like your daughter or mine," the
general said. "These were girls who had camped out in tents with male
protesters in Tahrir Square, and we found in the tents Molotov
cocktails and (drugs)."

This demonstration occurred nearly a month after Egypt's longtime
President Hosni Mubarak stepped down amid a wave of popular and mostly
peaceful unrest aimed at his ouster and the institution of democratic
reforms.

Agreed Brook. They all seem to be so deeply brain-washed by the old control systems over there, especially as regards women. On one level it makes me laugh that these men are so afraid of the power of women's sexuality over them that they feel the need to control them and hide the 'allure' of it so much from themselves, and at the same time think they only 'deserve' to marry virgins. Weak little men. But generally speaking of course it's deplorable the way women are treated because of this. I'm soooooooo glad I live in Australia!

Such things make me very angry.

From the "general"

"The girls who were detained were not like your daughter or mine,"

this general probably doesn't have a cue what his daughter (s) really feel and think

If they were virgins going in they probably weren't coming out.



They really think they can justify doing this? What a wonderful world!!! Not.

Outer revolution handles only the tip of the iceberg imo.
Inner evolution is the necessary counter part it takes to reach foundation.
When a tooth aches one would rather get rid of it .
If one does so the pain will be gone but a hole is left in place.
If one decides to heal the tooth the pain will go away as well.
But if one keeps eating crap food and does'nt respect the hygiene of the mouth
more pain is on it's way.
It all boils down to awareness working hand and glove with Consciousness.
