Egyptian Economist Arrested for Criticizing Government<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Egyptian Economist, Abdel Khalik Farouk<\/strong><\/a>, is the author of more than 20 books on corruption in the Egyptian economy. His latest book,\u00a0Is<\/em>\u00a0Egypt really poor<\/em>?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>was confiscated by Egyptian authorities last week on the day of publication. The owner of the printing house, Ibrahim El Khatib, was also arrested.\u00a0Farouk has set out that the corruption inside the Egyptian government is what keeps the nation poor. He is correct on that score for corruption in governments, in general, are always the greatest redistribution of wealth ever created.<\/p>\n

Then there is the Greek Chief statistician Andreas Georgiou who is now under the charge of having harmed the national interest! He was the one who corrected the faked Greek deficit number of -3,9 to the real number of -15.4%.\u00a0\u00a0 On August 2nd, 2010, he was appointed as President of the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT). Then on August 2nd, 2015, he surprisingly resigned from office with immediate effect. This in July 2016, the Greek Supreme Court upheld charges against Georgiou for having harmed the \u201cnational interest\u201d for effectively telling the truth.<\/p>\n

Of course, our media is part of the corruption in general. They preach the government line and spit out propaganda and they could care less what they are doing to the United States or the world. Hillary, for example, was perhaps the peak of corruption. Here we had a politician with the audacity to pretend she stands against the \u201crich\u201d<\/strong> and then all the super\u00a0rich stand in line to buy favors. Goldman Sachs<\/strong><\/a>went as far as to ban its staff from even donating\u00a0to the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n
