The United States has expressed deep concern after Egyptian police raided offices of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) receiving foreign funding. 
 
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland urged Egyptian authorities to immediately halt "harassment" of NGO staff.

"We believe that these NGOs are there to support the democratic process. Some of these are institutions that are supported by the United States government [and] that work around the world in the interests of helping citizens realize their goals of democratic processes taking root in their country," Nuland said.
 
Official media reported that 17 pro-democracy and human rights groups had been targeted. 
 
They included the U.S.-based International Republican Institute (IRI), the National Democratic Institute (NDI), and Freedom House, a democratic watchdog group.
 
NDI, IRI, and Freedom House, condemned the raids, with some saying it marked an escalation of repression seen under former President Hosni Mubarak before he was toppled by popular protests in February.
 
Egypt's ruling military has vowed to investigate how NGOs are funded and warned that it would not tolerate foreign interference in the country's affairs.

Paranoia aside, I would imagine that by "deeply concerned", what the Americans mean to say is that everything is going according to plan. I doubt if the people on the ground really know what's going on behind the scenes. It's really quite hilarious!

Some countries build reasons to invade, this could be one of those things. State vs. state conspiracy that turns into reality of war. We are in state of RESOURCE BULLING WARS, where powerful enough nations like mine, the US that spend trillions over the decades to build up our military and alliance's military to take what is others by way of international law that we write and don't follow, but we make you sure that everyone else bends backward to do so. We have higher corruption rate than anywhere else in the world, but that's out of the today statistics, because we made those agencies that make those stats for the world to see and wonder. Has our gov't done anything to combat any corruption, hell no, they inhibit it, they are trying to overdose it.

Everyone is stealing in one way or another (illegal or legal) Russia, USA, UK (worlds oldest corrupt state), France, China, no need to mention Greece and Italy and the rest of the world tries to keep up with the of people that where not born privilege like them. What I mean by that is if something is illegal for me do to, that something is harming either for one person or many, its illegal! What these people in good positions do is they twist words around and they make those illegal things legal only and only if you're on the same yacht with them.

Example: why are corporation allowed to scalp on FOREX market where their servers are right next to the official servers that give out all the prices for currency exchanges. I'll tell you why, only after I explain scalping on FOREX, that is when someone or some entity makes financial GAIN/loss on short market movements during the time of sideways trading time. More specific lets say the dollar vs euro is trading back and forth between 1.0000 and 1.0020, these corporation run a software where it makes money for them between those numbers. they should NOT be allowed to do this but yet they are and the part where I said their servers are next to the official ones is because they want their trades to go through fast and easy without mistakes or delays. The day/night trading is for peoples choices to make a gain or incur loss, not for a program to make money for you, it should be ILLEGAL, its a crime against the CURRENCY of that nation, if any economist or politician understand this, if they do, then they are the thieves themselves, that's why its legal. Even with corruption they, the corporate world was able to lose billions of peoples money (as it was SPENT IT) and asked for bailout from the same people it was suppose to serve BY LAW. The world corruption is at its highest since Byzantine Empires downfall days. There is another EMPIRE on its collapse and others RISING, WE THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD must REGULATE THESE CORRUPT NATIONS, ELITES, OLIGARCHS, or what ever other word we or they might invent for themselves.

I HAVE BEEN SAYING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE I MEET OR KNOW WE NEED ONE TYPE OF POLITICAL, SOCIAL, ECONOMICAL AND FOR THE THINGS UNKNOWN OR NOT THOUGHT OF YET SYSTEM OF ANTI-CORRUPTION PARTY THAT SPEARHEADS US FURTHER INTO EVOLUTION OF MANKIND, WHERE IT WILL WRITTEN IN HISTORY BOOKS JUST LIKE ABOUT THE MEDIEVAL DAYS TODAY.

VIVA LA ANTI-CORRUPTION IN ANTHROPOLOGICAL SENSE AND OTHER!!!

I hope this gets posted because I will save what I said here and will post it until it I see, I want people to read the about the unwritten and unspoken truth about today's corruption and its concealing.

THOSE WHO CAN SEIZE TODAY WILL BE RICH UNTIL THEY CAN'T SEIZE TODAY, WE ARE THE DUST THAT REST ON TOP THEIR PAWNS.
