Egypt's Secret War: What The US Isn't Telling You | The Political Vigilante | Graham Elwood

This video provides an institutional and geopolitical analysis of bilateral security cooperation between the United States and Egypt, referencing reporting published in The Intercept by Jacob Green and Allison McManus. The discussion examines the domestic legal and administrative apparatus established following the 2013 change in governance, focusing on the statutory scope of counter-terrorism decrees and documentation surrounding arbitrary detentions. Furthermore, it surveys the application of federal designations—such as Executive Order 13224—and their structural impact on regional civil liberties and diplomatic alignment.
