 Middle East Report Online: Egypt's Summer of Discontent, by Mona El-Ghobashy
In February 2000, Mubarak appointed Gamal to the General Secretariat of the NDP, laying to rest rumors that Gamal was to found a new party called Hizb al-Mustaqbal (Party of the Future), but fueling speculation on his political ambitions.
Gamal Mubarak holds degrees from the American University in Cairo and is a former investment banker with the Bank of America in Cairo and London.
The NDP congress that midwifed Gamal's rise breathed new life into al-Arabi, and under the editorship of Abdallah al-Sennawi and Abd al-Halim Qandil, the weekly newspaper has run a constant Gamal watch, skewering the president's son in editorials and maintaining a sense of outrage over the prospect that Egypt could turn into another Syria.

Nasser's successor in Egypt, Anwar al-Sadat, continued Nasser's effort to maintain inter-Arab cohesiveness in the face of Israel for the first few years following Nasser's death; however, he lacked Nasser's pan-Arab appeal and vision.

Nasser knew that if such ideas were allowed to circulate, they would threaten his rule and ultimately lead to his overthrow.
That such a worthy son of Islam should be so mistreated and humiliated in a Muslim country shows the depths of depravity to which the regimes in the Muslim world have sunk.
Perhaps this was partly the reason that Nasser's army faced such an ignominious defeat at the hands of the zionist forces a year later, in the 'Six Day war' of June 1967.

 Nasser Assassination Attempt 1954, Ted Thornton, NMH, Northfield Mount Hermon
Gamal Abd al-Nasser was speaking to a large crowd in Alexandria on October 26, 1954 when eight gun shots rang out.
Happily for him, the gunman, Mahmoud Abd al-Latif, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, was a bad shot even at close range.
Some regarded Nasser's reaction to the bullets whizzing around him on October 26 as a bit too cool, and his remark about all of Egypt being Nasser as too conveniently in line with state propaganda: they suspected him of staging the assassination attempt.

 University Press of Florida: Rethinking Nasserism
Nasser dominated and defined the politics of an entire generation of Egyptians and successfully spoke to the masses of Arabs in other countries, even going over the heads of their own leaders--something that no other Arab leader since has been able to accomplish since on any considerable scale.
In Rethinking Nasserism, distinguished scholars from Israel, the United States, and Egypt provide a definitive reappraisal of the historical force of Nasserism in the ideological, economic, social, and cultural arenas of the modern Middle East in general and of Egypt in particular.
The innovative theme of the collection is Nasserism as a form of populism, described by the editors in their introduction as a combination of various tenets of anti-imperialism, pan-Arabism (or nationalism), and Arab socialism.

807 A rebellion in Toledo was quelled by Amrus Ibn Yusuf, the governor appointed by Caliph al Hakam.
Amrus employed a tactic we saw before at the expense of the German chieftain, Odoacer, and will see again (with a slight variation): "the great banquet ruse." In what seemed to be a magnanimous peace-making gesture, Amrus invited hundreds of his notable Toledan enemies.

Abd Al-Adhim Manaf (6 million barrels), the owner and editor of The Voice of the Arabs (Sawt Al-Arab), and a member of parliament, offered to show evidence that he had been offered oil vouchers, but had refused them.
He said there was small-scale smuggling of oil of 3000 barrels at a time by small merchants, but did not explain how the smuggling was related to the vouchers he received.
Khaled Abd Al-Nasser, the son of the late Egyptian president Gamal Abd Al-Nasser, (16.5 million barrels), could not be reached by the Egyptian weekly Roz Al-Youssef because all his phones "were out of order." However, the weekly cites a number of instances of Abd Al-Nasser's involvement in activities for solidarity with Iraq.

Members of the ruling NDP’s Policies Committee, which is headed by Gamal Mubarak, were rumored to have met with MB leaders to secure the MB’s neutrality and nonparticipation in opposition activities against the succession.
As a result of this assessment, the MB is unlikely to deploy its tens of thousands of members and supporters in street demonstrations over the succession, but rather do the minimum necessary to preserve its opposition credentials—much as it did with regard to the extension of the emergency laws.

Abd al-Hamid Sarraj foiled the plot prior to its implementation and had all of its leaders, including Ajlani, imprisoned and charged with high treason.
He had the willingness and courage to say "no" to Arab nationalism and Gamal Abd al-Nasser in the 1950s, when it was politically incorrect to be anything but a Nasserist.
