STUDY: COUP POSSIBLE IN MOROCCO, SAUDI ARABIA ALSO

This piece can be read from several different points of view. The fact that the study comes out of Hebrew University should set off warning bells. Political situations, especially upheavals, looking to see to "who stands to profit?" In this instance, who stands to profit  if the Muslim world shatters and countries fall into divided fighting organizations fighting for domination as we have seen in Iraq? 

Please read  Egypt: What a Mess and A Frightening Strategy For Israel to put things into context. Once you have read these articles, you will look at these actions with a different interpretation.

This map represents the potential Muslim that Israel thinks it is potentially up against if they do not prevent its coming about. Their policy is to shatter each country one at a time  so they fall like dominoes.  In the creation of "Greater Israel", they would  at least take Egypt as far as the Nile and also lop off a great deal of upper Saudi Arabia.

Hebrew University political scientists find that in countries where citizens' democratic aspirations are unfulfilled, they are more likely to try to undermine government stability

The first signs for the governmental instability in Egypt were detected as early as two years ago, according to a new study conducted by political scientists from Hebrew University. 

The study, which will be published soon by the Journal of Conflict Resolution, was conducted by Prof. Tamir Sheafer and Dr. Shaul Shenhav. The researchers measured the "democratic gap" in about 90 democratic and non-democratic countries.

"The democratic gap is the difference between the democratic aspirations of a country's citizens and the level of democracy given to them by the state's institutions," explains Prof. Sheafer

According to the study's findings, political stability will be in danger only in the case of a "negative democratic gap". 

In other words, when the citizens' expectations for democracy are unfulfilled, there is a higher chance that the citizens will take a risk and take to the streets in a bid to undermine the regime's stability. 

Especially with Mossad/CIA infiltrators to help things along! This happens more often than any of us in the West might think. America and Israel think nothing of a peoples' "democratic gap" or their "democratic aspirations". The ousted regimes would just be replaced by younger, smoother, more atuned to the people, but already bought and sold. They would make some simple changes to appease the people but under it all, their allegiances would not be with the people they rule. 

In the best of all possible worlds, they should be governing, not ruling, their people!

 Saudi Arabia next?

With a "positive democratic gap", which exists when the state's institutions allow a higher level of democracy than the citizens seek, there is no danger to the government's stability.

The research data were collected in 2008 through public opinion polls and objective international indices, which measured the "democratic gap" in a large number of countries and revealed that the popular uprisings which took place recently in Thailand, Iran and Egypt could have been predicted as early as two years ago.

According to the data, civilian coups are expected soon in Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Belarus and even China. In Jordan<, Algeria and Malaysia, however, the findings point to a "positive democratic gap" and a coup is unlikely.

"In these countries, although they are not characterized by a high level of classemocratization, the citizens' democratic aspirations are lower, and in such a situation the danger of governmental instability is smaller," says Dr. Shenhav.

The researchers stress, however, that the model's prediction abilities should be treated with caution, as there are many other factors which play an important role in explaining instability, including the regime's response to the attempts to undermine stability, the economic situation and democratization processes which may be led by the government.
