Agreed. I've been lurking the thread and the info has been great (not to mention the Civility.) Lots of thank to Mistress, Isladar and all others who provided info.

This shit is pretty damn historic.

Gentleman they're interviewing on AJE saying that Mubarak's statement may have been pre-recorded? Sounds like speculation.

**Indalecia** · 2011-02-10 13:57

How long until his expected speech.

**Olo401** · 2011-02-10 14:00

Should be any moment now.. I thought they said 2PM EST?

Edit: 8PM GMT / 3PM EST.. another hour.

@REUTERSFLASH: Mubarak will announce constitutional procedures before handing over powers - al Arabiya

**clobetasol** · 2011-02-10 14:00

3pm est

**Antithesis** · 2011-02-10 14:00

There's a live stream of NileTV on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/

**isladar** · 2011-02-10 14:00

Everything I've seen just says "this evening", nothing has a time associated with it.

AJE: "In the next hour"

**clobetasol** · 2011-02-10 14:02

I'm currently watching aljazeera in arabic and they confirmed 3pm est.

**Ragnus** · 2011-02-10 14:05

Shitty part is that I have a meeting at 2:30. Very high chance I'll miss Mubarak's speech.

**Kuya** · 2011-02-10 14:05

Could anyone post a link to some live news report? Preferably from al jazeera.

Thanks!

The MB and the regime have been throwing around the phrase "military coup" in the last few hours to scare the international community; what looks far more likely considering the statements of the military council is that the military has very quietly told the government no, sorry, get your shit together and out, and that they'll form the backbone of the transitional government.

Unfucking believable. Like. Yesterday. A week ago. Couldn't happen.

**Cantih** · 2011-02-10 14:30

A nice point was just made.
Egypt state TV is now showing the same images Al Jazeera is.
Unthinkable last week, even a few days ago.

**Olo401** · 2011-02-10 15:00

A minute to go and every news agency is pushing conflicting reports.. Cmon you corporate media idiots just let the guy speak for himself so you don't look bad!

**isladar** · 2011-02-10 15:04

lol Egypt TV doing their sports bulletin

**Dantrag** · 2011-02-10 15:16

He's going to stand everyone up.

**Ragnus** · 2011-02-10 15:19

Probably. Either that or he got whacked / disappeared.
