[Marxism] Egypt planned to arrest a New York Times reporter. The Trump administration reportedly wanted to let it happen.
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * Washington Post, September 24, 2019 Egypt planned to arrest a New York Times reporter. The Trump administration reportedly wanted to let it happen. by Teo Armus In late 2017, the New York Times received an urgent warning from a U.S. official. Egyptian authorities were looking to arrest Declan Walsh, the newspaper’s reporter in Cairo, according to its publisher. It’s not unusual for a large media organization to get tipped off about threats to its journalists overseas, particularly those reporting on authoritarian governments. But what was striking is what the official said next: The Trump administration had tried to keep the warning about Walsh from ever reaching the Times. Officials “intended to sit on the information and let the arrest be carried out,” Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger wrote in an opinion column on Monday. This incident, described publicly by Sulzberger for the first time in a talk at Brown University earlier on Monday, adds a chilling new episode to the administration’s trend of attacking the press and diminishing the rights of journalists as they come under threat around the globe, the publisher wrote. Where the United States was once seen as the top defender of press freedom, Sulzberger suggested Trump has inspired the opposite around the globe, citing recent threats made in an address by the Cambodian prime minister, a social media blackout in Chad, and attempts to arrest foreign journalists in Egypt, whose autocratic president Trump once jokingly called his “favorite dictator.” “These brutal crackdowns are being passively accepted and perhaps even tacitly encouraged by the president of the United States,” Sulzberger said. President Trump has refused to acknowledge that the Saudi government ordered the assassination of The Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi, as international investigators have found. And the president’s frequent use of the phrase “fake news” has resulted in more than 50 foreign government leaders to adopt similar calls, the publisher charged. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Walsh, The Times’s Cairo bureau chief, penned articles in early 2017 about the country’s crackdown on human rights groups, the expulsion of a prominent critic of Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi and the largely ineffective efforts to hold the country’s former president Hosni Mubarak accountable. He also led a live Web event from Cairo in March 2017 about the tight press restrictions placed on visual journalists in Egypt. Later that year, the Times got a call from the U.S. official, who said Walsh had a target on his back. That’s when the call took a “surprising and distressing turn,” Sulzberger wrote on Monday. The Trump administration wanted to sit on the warning and let Egyptian officials carry out the arrest, the official said. In fact, the official feared being punished for alerting the Times of what was about to play out. So the newspaper instead turned to Walsh’s home country of Ireland for help. Almost immediately, officials from the Irish Embassy in Cairo escorted the journalist from his home to the airport, Sulzberger wrote. The Irish Embassy in Cairo referred a request for comment to the Irish Foreign Ministry, which did not immediately return multiple calls and emails. Walsh also did not immediately respond to messages. In his talk at Brown, Sulzberger used the incident to illustrate the repercussions of Trump’s failure to defend press freedom around the world. “I’m sounding the alarm because his words are dangerous and having real-world consequences around the globe,” Sulzberger said. Reporters Without Borders, a nonprofit that fights for press freedom, has noted a sharp drop in the number of countries where it is safe for journalists to work. Only 8 percent of 180 countries evaluated by the organization in 2019 have a media climate considered “good” for journalists, amid a tightening grip from government and increased violence. The United States came in at 48th, and Egypt was 163rd. Later in his speech, Sulzberger mentioned an incident in February, in which another one of the newspaper’s journalists was targeted by the Egyptian government. This time, the Egyptians’ efforts were successful. David D. Kirkpatrick, a Times international correspondent and former Cairo bureau chief, had written a book, “Into the Hands of the Soldiers,” that was critical of the Egyptian government. Upon landing in Cairo in February, Kirkpatrick was placed in custody for hours without food or water. He was then ordered on a flight back to London,

Washington is really a pre-cursor (through Garvey) of what in the mid-1960s was a more left-wing version of black nationalism --- WHen my nascent political organization (The Wisconsin Alliance) created an organizing manifesto, (think that was in 1969) we included the demand for black control of black communities and the local Trotskyists were strongly supportive of that aspect of our "analysis" --- we were actually coming from the angle that informed Bill Williams -- which he supported in numerous publications (I think most completely in a piece he wrote entitled "Radicals and Regionalism " for a short lived journal entitleddemocracy -- with a lower-case "d") the reactionary form of black nationalism clashed with the more revolutionary version, most dramatically and tragically, in the fight between Maulana Karenga's US movement and the Black Panther Party -- with actual guns and deaths involved --- Clarance Thomas' marriage to his current wife shows that for him the language of "black nationalism" is pure political opportunism --- and unfortunately that applied to too many so-called "militants" in the 1960s --- I could name names but who knows how many ended up actually fighting the good fight later on ...
