The Egyptian SS (State Security) apparatus finally fell yesterday, obviously after Ahmed Shafik's resignation they panicked and started burning whatever documents they had inside these buildings, people saw that and tried to stop them, something happened, they started attacking the protesters with live ammunition and Molotov cocktails! The army was there and obviously some of them got injured, and as a result they stormed into the building, minutes later a decision was taken to freeze all SS activities and for them to hand over the HQs to the army.
Protesters got into some of the SS buildings, such as the one in Nasr City, a complex of several 4 stories buildings, turns out they had 8 stories underground. rooms full of shredded paper were found, prisoners who've been hijacked and imprisoned with no court order for years, they even found a guy who's been there for 14 years!! files on everybody, obviously this 100K employees apparatus was doing nothing but monitoring the egyptian people, they even found rooms full of sex tapes of anybody who is anybody in egypt! obviously they used to use this to "persuade" people, sheets containing email passwords of activists, and they even found "Khaled Saeed"s file. We need years just to process the files we've found there. Wikileaks offered to unshred the shredded papers we recovered, they say they've got the best unshredding team in the world and they are wiling to help, sharing these files with them is not an option of course as they include sensitive information that should never leave this country however they can transfer their knowledge to the more than able Egyptian people and we'll unshred them.
I've several concerns though, first of all and I'm just stating the obvious here ahmed shafeek was just an extension of the old regime, documents were found that were produced in the few days he was in charge, it seems like the SS was working for him during that time, I already knew this however many of the people I know believed in him, I recall he said something like the SS is sacred right before he resigned, anyway days will prove what he was really all about.
Another really important concern is about validating these files, if any document surfaces there is no way for us to verify its authenticity, so most of the documents that were recovered are more or less useless, additionally SS had a really decent head start, they've been burning files and destroying evidence for quite some time now, we are only left what they thought had the lowest priority or wanted us to find, already most of the documents that were recovered are about public media figures, so far no documents about any political figures were found? this doesn't make much sense, unless of course they wanted us to see these documents. Another point is that now these files are all over the place, many people's privacy would be even more violated than they already were.
I'm able to breathe easier now though, knowing that no one is looking over my shoulder, they spent 91 man years everyday to monitor the Egyptian people, controlling and manipulating every single aspects of our lives, I'm sure I have a file there somewhere and most probably its not important enough for them to burn right away, I'm sure this file is waiting there in one of the cabinets waiting to be read.
