King Faruk reigned in 28 April 1936 – 26 July 1952.
As far as I know this year is 2021, almost 70 years after the Egypt Revolution.

"The Republic of Egypt was declared in 1953. The new ruling junta—led by a charismatic army officer, Gamal Abdel Nasser—abolished all political parties, which had operated with relative freedom under the monarchy, and a new constitution, in which women were granted the franchise, was introduced in 1956. To replace the abolished political parties, the regime formed the National Union in 1957—from 1962 the Arab Socialist Union (ASU)—which dominated political life in Egypt for the next 15 years. An interim constitution was promulgated in 1964."

There have been quite a few presidents since that day.
The current president is Abd al-Fattah as-Sisi.

There has been no king of Egypt since 1952.


As far as Hitler is concerned, yes, I know a lot about him and his followers. That is why I can see what is happening in the US now.
I will always fight against people like these criminals, and against their extremist followers.

The nazis, the extremist followers of Hitler, occupied my country of birth. I have learned from my (grand-)parents what these people did to them, whatr life was like under a dictator.

And it makes me sick to know people havent learned anything since then...look at the far-right people in the US who tried to overthrow the democracy!

Trump is no better than Hitler.
Nor are his extremist followers any better than the average nazi.

"National Socialism" includes the word "socialism", but it is just a word.

Hitler and the Nazis outlawed socialism, and executed socialists and communists en masse, even before they started rounding up Jews.

In 1933, the Dachau concentration camp held socialists and leftists exclusively. The Nazis arrested more than 11,000 Germans for "illegal socialist activity" in 1936.

In the 1930s and even beyond, nazism, in sharp contrast to socialism, was strongly supported by leading capitalists and right wingers in the US.

Henry Ford, the leading industrialist and auto maker, was a great admirer of the nazis.
When Henry Ford announced that he might run for president in 1923, the little-known Hitler told the Chicago Tribune that he would like to send shock troops to Chicago to assist in the campaign. ,

Later in 1938, the year of Kristallnacht, Ford was awarded the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest civilian award given by the nazis.

Ford accepted it with pride, and Ford's company collaborated with the nazis as late as August 1942.

General Motors, Standard Oil, ITT, and Chase National Bank (later Chase Manhattan Bank) among others also had major financial investments and collaborations with Nazi Germany.

J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of the FBI (and virulently anti-communist) was a great admirer of the nazis and was a pen pal of Heinrich Himmler (Reichsfuhrer of the Nazi SS, head of the Gestapo, and second most powerful leader of the Nazi party).

Hoover sent Himmler a personal invitation to attend the 1937 World Police Conference in Montreal, and in 1938 welcomed one of Himmler's top aids to the U.S.

In June 1939, when the Nazi SS was conducting savage attacks against Jews, Gypsies, and homosexuals throughout Germany, Hoover personally autographed a photo of himself and sent it in response to a request, to KRIPO, the Nazi criminal police agency.

He continued communication with Nazi police until December 4, 1941 (three days before Pearl Harbor).


Oi...more facts some people do not want to know...

He really was a socialist though, he just thought that the communists had misinterpreted socialism. The German Nazi model was totally self-sufficient. That's how they managed to create so many arms despite being banned from doing so. It was very much a collectivist model. Far right and far left tend to be two extremes that meet each other back to back. Hard to distinguish in many cases.

People forget just how anti-semitic US society was before the war. Or maybe they just don't realise.

Re: Biden inauguration: Executive orders to reverse Trump policies

President Biden cancels funding for Trump border wall

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56031481

US President Joe Biden has rescinded the national emergency order used to fund Donald Trump's border wall. In a letter to Congress on Thursday, Mr Biden wrote that the order was "unwarranted" and said that no further tax dollars will be spent on the wall.

Trump declared a state of emergency over the southern border in 2019, which allowed him to bypass Congress and use military funds for its construction. When Trump left office, about $25bn (£18bn) had been spent on the project.

The announcement from President Biden is the latest in a series of executive orders that have rolled back key parts of the former president's agenda. Last week, Mr Biden signed orders seeking to reunite migrant families split up by Trump-era policies, and ordered a probe of his predecessor's immigration agenda.

Building a border wall was a signature pledge of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

Various types of fencing totalling 654 miles (just over 1,000 km) were already in place before Trump became president in 2017. During his his time in office, only 80 miles of new barriers were built where there were none before, and almost 400 miles replaced existing parts of the structure.
Good for Joe .....

Yeah brilliant, now migrant caravans are forming and the USA now has a massive illegal immigration problem again. If people want to enter a country, there is a process already in place to follow to do it - legally. Encouraging illegal immigration by having no border is an utterly stupid idea.
