Chronicles of a certain death ‘II’: Egypt!

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Firenze, August 22nd 2013.
The predictions and warnings I desperately launched since April 2011* have all promptly materialised. As a liberal laic Egyptian citizen, I hereby declare the January 2011 revolution officially dead. The cause of death?.. Asphyxia.
It died suffocated inside the airtight cell constructed meticulously by massive blocks made of the hesitations of SCAF, the intolerance of the Muslim Brotherhood, the unfit presidency of Morsi, the obsessive haste of the Military, the insignificant presence of Al Azhar, the abdication of the intellectuals, the politicisation of Justice, the inefficient Opposition, the submissive Media, the centrifugal vortex of Foreign Interests, the lack of any effective Political Vision, the vagrancy of Governance, and our Sovereign Ignorance.
My heartiest condolences to the Egyptian population, family of the dear departed!

Chronicles of a certain death ‘I’: Syria!

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Firenze, August 22nd 2013.
Mr. Gwyn Winfield is the man most heard these days; he’s the helm of the Falcon Communications, a respectable British firm internationally recognised in the field of the defence against unconventional weapons.
“Yesterday’s attack by toxic agents in Syria seem featuring all the known characteristics of a War Game created majestically on purpose to justify the military escalation of Foreign Powers, same as the one authorising the USA’s intervention in Vietnam”, that’s the opening statement of Mr. Winfield in an international press conference in Brussels.
He continues “..it is possible that we’re witnessing the use of very powerful anti-riots agents contained in special ammunitions launched either from aircrafts or ground artillery, such were used by the Americans in Vietnam and by the Israelis in Gaza; they serve to force the enemy out from his hideouts into open grounds to finish him up by conventional ammunitions”.
However, Mr. Winfield gets cautious enough explaining the difficulties to identify the substance used in the attack saying that “whomever used it, made sure to chose on purpose a highly volatile agent to cancel his proper signature.. Of course some traces would remain in the blood, lungs and hair of the victims but only for 48 to 72 hours.. A classifiable Sarin is not in question here, because the rescue workers intervened unprotected, which suggests that the toxicity levels were low. More likely the relevant issue is a Phosphate Organ maybe mixed with other chemical substances.. However if the casualties count reaches the 5000 units level, then the engagement of a chemical weapon is more than probable”.
Mr. Winfield also expressed his scepticism by questioning the timing of the attack, which will certainly attract the international attention, coinciding perfectly with the presence of the UN investigators; he also doubts the real origin of the attack, according to him neither the Assad administration nor the Free Army would gain anything tangible from such a massacre!!
And I wonder whether or not it could be another one of those False Flag Operations!

Stairway To H…!!

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Montopoli, August19th 2013.
Every now and then I tend to review my writings to reorganise my thoughts, monitor my findings and adjust, if necessary, my conclusions; because I am certain that for us, the common mortals, truth is never abstract or absolute.. So bear with me and relive these moments..
>>>QUOTE<<<
I] On August 3rd 2011, in my article “Where is our Nuremberg”, I wrote:
“I have the right to be angry, and to express my anger as I see appropriate for the given circumstance which initially triggered my anger. As long as my manifestation does not breach God or man laws”.
“Being angry for no reason or, even worse, for the wrong reason, as to substitute anger for frustration, for helplessness, or for despair; is the joy of even the inexperienced amateur manipulator, not to mention the skillful professional reactionary politicians and their lobbies who can and are using our youth’s anger to demolish the entire revolution”.
“Unless we would have our Nuremberg, the worse may yet be waiting round the corner on the next turn”.
II] On December 31st 2011, in my article “Skepticism or Realism, the outcome is the same”, I wrote:
“I fear that it may take, in the best case scenario, a generation to understand and educate the right teachings for a better socio-political know-how in order to be able to make reliable choices. Pending the rest of the world remains static and petrified awaiting our recovery. Until then will we continue being these separated islands casted adrift among the swelled waves of uncertainty?
Once again Einstein proved to have had a point when saying: “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them in the first place”.
III] On February 16th 2012, in my article “A Country called Anarchy and a Government named Chaos”, I wrote:
“They” have already seeded fear, insecurity and mistrust among the various ethnic/religious sects of the population. 
“They” would let Egypt slide into Anarchy in a way to trigger a long term exhausting conflict and drown the entire country in the moving sands of “Chaos”. The result would be to drain out Egypt’s remaining crumbs of resources, making of her an easy prey for economic speculators and financial adventurers.
“They” have a lot to lose if Egypt could stand up to acquire its post once again within the international community..
We know from past human experiences that every major political, social or economical change; is accompanied by, or immediately followed by, a phase of “chaotic disorder”. And it is always the length of such a phase that will determine the type of the following “Stabilising Order”.
IV] On March 24th 2012, in my article “The missing plug”, I wrote:
“The Military Institution along with its puppet cabinet and the unleashed Police Forces joined efforts to squeeze the revolution out of its last bit of thrusting energy, and to press down the rising political forms of opposition into a mild image same as “Before”. And those who respectfully stood tall by their principles, having understood clearly what’s lying in between the lines of that script, were forced somehow to quit the scene.. El Baradei is a flagrant example in this case.
At first we were continuously faced by the respectable and humble figures of many exponents from the “Muslim Brotherhood” and the “Salafist” movements, all swearing to God that they have no intention, wish or ambition in politics and that they want to remain among the ranks of the people to serve and observe! In fact, due to free undemocratic elections following the old tailored laws, they became the crushing majority in Parliament and many of them changed views after several closed meetings with the “Field-Marshal”! Remember “Dr. El AWWA”?
Actually the agenda that we dreamed of, and the ‘Priority Tasks’ that we hoped to see accomplished were all just smoke on the water and ash in the eyes.. The “Order” is still alive and well.. And the recapitulation after fourteen months results in hundreds dead civilians, other thousands tortured behind bars, arbitrary arrests, corruption, agonising economy, a helpless nominated cabinet and a crippled parliament!!
I’m afraid that we will remain wandering for a long time searching for the plug that we missed and wondering what is it that we didn’t know?”
V] On October 26th 2012, in my article “Last call Dr. Morsi!! My open letter to the President”, I wrote:
You know better than anyone else, Sir, that the Egyptians, all of them and not only the Muslim Brotherhood, rose on January 25th 2011 calling for “Bread, Liberty, Social Justice and Integrity”.. They were longing for a civil governance to clean and clear, but they didn’t want to relive the experiences of any kind or shape of ‘Authoritarian Dictatorship’.
That’s why I call on you to review your priorities and make front to that ‘Clear and Eminent Danger’ which is threatening Egypt.. The danger of a “Sectarian, Cultural, Religious and Ethnic Struggle” which will dismember the nation into fragments through violent confrontations and uncontrollable growing hatred that only God knows for how long such a plague may last. A conflict that will entail not only chaos, but as well it will produce more unemployment, more poverty, more need, much more lack of services, and of course much more paralysing debts.
Address these six topics (overhaul of the Labour Law(s), scaled ‘Tax Grids’, Anti-Corruption Bill, Citizenship Criterion Chart, Progressive Education and Scientific Research Plan , new legislation supporting and protecting the Freedom of Expression) all the way through, Dr. Morsi,  and only then you will defeat the enemies of the Revolution, you will meet the expectations of the Egyptians, you will wave away the doubt of your administration’s secret deals and you will regain the respect expected for a PRESIDENT.. And of course you know, Sir, that all are to be earned.
Yours Truly,
VI] On November 4th 2012, in my article “In the name of the Sovereign People rise a Federal Republic”, I wrote:
…let me draw your attention to a statement I dug out from the minutes of NATO’s Defence Ministers extraordinary meeting in Brussels regarding the Libyan Revolution, following two weeks of its outburst; a statement which I believe is the key to unlock the closed door (signed Free World) behind which the ‘Colonial Powers’ hid for long; whereas the French Defence Secretary invited the participants to endorse “…urgent Humanitarian Aids, large financing and generous logistic supplies in support of a population in need of freedom, self determination and longing for a ‘Democratic Federation’.”!
The term ‘Democratic Federation’ means nothing else then the plan to divide Libya was already there!! Same way as they did to the Balkans some two decades ago, or Sudan and Iraq.. Equal fate awaits other nations like Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and maybe even Egypt.
The unconditional submissive obedience to the tribe/clan/cult leader that still controls our dominant agro-nomad culture (the father, the older brother, the mayor, the omda, the imam, the priest, the teacher, the guru, the employer, the Supervisor or in many cases the Emir of the so called Jamaa meaning Jihadist Cell) explains that superficial and emotional approach to all issues of our lives is the one and only reason for all our failures.
I wonder when we will regain our critical sense and start reasoning..
I didn’t forget that the first word the Archangel Gabriel taught The Prophet was ‘IQRA’..
And you?

I invite your input to further our search for the common grounds upon which to build our National Unity.. Away from any institution, lobby, organisation or master.

Muslim vs. Egyptian!!

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Montopoli, August 18th 2013.
The high hopes for justice and freedom along with the ambitions for democracy and prosperity, set forth by the January 25th 2011 rebellion (turned later into the February revolution); have all vanished like smoke in the air and shrunk into this absurd useless and consuming conflict between those convinced of being “More Egyptians” and those convinced of being “More Muslims”! Both blindly believing to be the custodians of the absolute and indisputable truth..
Nonsense.

Egypt and Syria

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Montopoli, August 18th 2013.
TV networks ratings fly high and newspapers sales reduplicate ten folds when the opening reportage details a bloody photo or a sex scandal.
In both the Egyptian and Syrian cases, the media aired and printed their best close-ups of bloody wounds, dead corps, crying infants and wet eyes of heart burnt mothers, wives and daughters. News full of tears.. None brought a single picture whatsoever of the sweat on the front of a soldier or his wounds.
Al Jazeera, BBC, CNN, France 24h, TVE, RAI, Sky, Fox, The Guardian, The Washington Post, The New York Times, El Pais, La Repubblica, Le Point, Le Figaro. Al Hayat, Al Chorouq, Al Quds…Etc.. And many more networks and ‘respectable’ newspapers, in Africa, Asia and Latin America; have raced to win the prize of ratings; they rushed to give the ongoing conflict a name: Civil War, Military Coup, Assault on Democracy, Abortion of the Arab Spring…Etc.
None respected the real sense of the impartial mission of informing.. None gave space to cover all angles of this tragedy, and report the true reasons of such an ignorant absurdity.
However, this is not my quest here.. My primary engagement is looking for an intelligent definition for the issue.. And after considering for long most of the relevant available literature, I can synthesise the entire matter in one single phrase:
Only when Egypt and Syria (North Africa and the Fertile Crescent) were united the barbarous invasions of the Tatar and the colonial hunger of the Crusades were defeated and driven back.
Religion had nothing to do then.. The UNITY wasn’t political.. The people were united.. Muslim, Christian, Kurd, Druze, Sunni, Shia, Wahabi, Alawy, Arab, Persian, Turk, Omawy or Abbassi.. They were aligned together as one before a common danger and they prevailed.
Today the same people are shattered into small insignificant tribes and gangs fighting among each other, killing each other, exterminating each other, and crying for the help of the Barbarian and begging money from the Colonial.
Bravi.. Félicitations.. Well done.

Two Standards.. One Vicious Circle.

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Montopoli, August 16th 2013.
The White House’s statements have officially green-lighted the blood thirsty awesome machine of the international media to begin the fierce campaign geared to systematically attack Egypt’s interim government’s security measures!!
The very same White House that few years ago blessed Mubarak’s continuous violations of human and civil rights of the Brotherhood’s hierarchies!!
The very same White House that for generations have constantly, and generously, financed and armed the Arab Dictatorships in order to suppress human and civil rights!!
The very same White House that bribed ignorant, and conspiring, Arab Dictators to escalate and ignite the unstoppable and irrevocable Sectarian, Ethnic, Religious and cultural conflicts!!
The very same White House that, in the name of the War On Terrorism, have ordered too many black operations and false flag missions causing hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties in the world (mainly Arabic and Islamic)!!
The very same White House that have never moved a finger to warn any Egyptian administration to stop oppressing, torturing or eliminating its political opponents!!
The very same White House that have always encouraged Sadat and Mubarak to alienate the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas!!
The very same White House that approved Kissinger’s NSM200 back in the 70s!!
The very same White House that have prepared, wrapped and sealed more than one definition for every political, military, economic, juridical and social value (Democracy, Freedom, Welfare, Prosperity, Security, Growth, Defence, Sovereignty, Independence, Aid, Assistance…Etc.); to be used locally and internationally in compliance with the USA administration’s ultimate needs and goals!!
They are paying us to kill each other and animate their “Way Of Life” and maintain alive their “Dream” before a globalised world which by now is considered their Coliseum!
Can you answer intelligently this simple question: who will break this vicious circle?

A little evil for a greater good!

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Castelfiorentino, August 14th 2013.
The Brotherhood, Al Azhar, The Military, the Police, the Media and the Government are all chanting their sermons having that statement as a key note!
I wonder..
Is this a valid exchange?
Who are they, no who are we, to determine the proper amount of evil necessary to produce any given amount of good?
This is not a drug, experimented and produced in pharmaceutical laboratories, intended to heal specific deceases using controlled quantities of venoms; we’re talking about armed conflict chosen to impose a solution for an absurd political stalemate.
The problem is that such a conflict is uncontrollable because it is bound to escalate.. None of the confronting parties seem to have a preset mark point at which to start negotiating terms and conditions.. Both parties are seeking the adversary’s unconditional surrender.
None is calculating the post trauma status.. None have the faintest vision for the next Egypt.. None seem to care anymore about the endless dark tunnel of hatred that we all allowed ourselves to drive in at full speed blind(mind)folded.
Only foreign interests and western powers are placing their bets and cooling the Champagne.
Congratulations my fellow Egyptians: Muslims or Copts, religious or atheists, liberals or conservatives, rich or poor.. This time we blew it REAL BIG!

A deep ocean with no shores.

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Montopoli, August 13th 2013.
·         They are all right, and they are all wrong!
·         They are all patriots, and they are all traitors!
·         They are all innocent, and they are all guilty!
·         They are all sane, and they are all mad!
·         They are all pro something, and they are all anti the same thing!
·         They are all hawks, and they are all doves!
Ideas, beliefs, opinions, colours, ranks, class, wealth, traditions, cultures, and health are no longer considered as the parameters necessary to regulate “Diversity” and measure “Evolution” within a given population.
Even the classical values of Good, Beauty and Justice have shrunk to fill the space of a poster pinned on a forgotten billboard somewhere in the vast desert of our bewildered Human conscience.
That’s why I fear that the Egyptian ship, along with the Arab fleet, will remain adrift in that endless deep ocean with no shores.

Persols for the Realm.

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Montopoli, August 4th 2013.
They all went public more than once exhibiting the very same look, by the very same criterion, and with the very same arrogant attitude.. Waltzing around in a carefully designed powerful and mysterious appearance, molded in a full ceremonial military attire, offering a well groomed face show-cased into the Cap and the big dark expensive sunglasses, in a useless effort to hide exactly what I don’t know..
Pinochet, Espinosa, Ortega, Chavez, Saddam, Nasser, Aref, Assallal, Al Bashir, Saleh, Sadat, Assad (Hafez), Mubarak, Tantawy and many others; all were inspired by the Greek Generals immortalised in the famous black & white photo, back in the seventies, while assuming power and celebrating the successfully undertaken bloody Coup d’Étât which overthrew for few decades one of the well established European democracies and economies of the post WWII era.
That’s why I felt seriously alarmed watching Egyptian Minister of Defence, Colonel General Al Sissy, exhibiting an imposing look in full ceremonial outfit, while addressing the crowd, sheltered behind his Persol dark sunglasses, along with his shrewd smile, though standing in the shade and obviously he’s not a sensitive albino!!
And just same as the others before him, he grabs every possible opportunity, public or private, to assure the presents of being uninterested in a candidacy for the presidential office!! And this makes me very itchy, because they all said so, and in a given moment we listened to all of them declaring their duty to “accept the people’s persistent demand to assume the responsibility of guiding the nation into a better future”!
They all failed.. They all came short from fulfilling their vows for security, independence, democracy, prosperity, welfare and freedom.. And they all (even Morsi) turned into dictators serving other than their people.
What will he do?

Sober up before it’s too late.

By: Ahmed ELNAHAS – Montopoli, July 31st 2013.
Mr. Krishnamurti, the famous Indian sociologist and philosopher, in one of his many valuable lectures said:
“The crisis is a crisis in conscience.. A crisis that cannot anymore accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions. And, considering what the world is now; with all the misery, conflict, destructive brutality, aggression and so on.. Man is still as he was, is still brutal, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, competitive, and has built a society along these lines.. It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society”.
Legality and Transparency.. The “Big Dismissed” from every political address and collective conscience.. The “Giant Absents” from any government action, media information and intellectual public debate.
Each year of the past sixty, between tax evasion and corruption; a substantial treasure equivalent to ten folds our country’s national financial budget plan (the everlasting “Tighten the Belt” type of plan), is being subtracted and removed.. And that is also a  direct consequence to the “Giant Absents”, because the politics in command have constantly done everything to favour “Villainy” instead of “Legality”.
On one hand the Brotherhood.. A marionette used by the International Muslim Brotherhood Congress, an organisation which truly believes in being the only valid rival to the International Zionist Congress, convinced of its capability to draw the strategic and tactical plans for The Global Islamic Project to counter and defy the presumed Zionist objective for One World One Government.
On the other hand The Military Establishment.. Owning 40% of the country’s GNP, protector of the Banner and master of the Republic since 1952; gave time for the initial shock wave of January 25th 2011 to fade down and pass by, then allowed the elections of a ‘Civil Executive’ to rule, though unforgiving the dishonourable discharge of its ‘Godfathers’, bought the necessary time to acquire American endorsement for the next step: overthrowing the inefficient and hostile ‘Civil Government’ to re-establish the “Moderate Friendly State”.
And in the total absence of a compact opposition or a sound honourable political cast; both, aware of the dangerous results of their plans, have managed to divide the once united yet fragile society into fiercely and ferociously opposed fractions intolerable and over-dosed by hatred to the point of killing each other in the name of God or Country!!
And for what purpose? So that the one left standing would rule over the rubbles of a poorer, divided, unsafe and more ignorant population; needy of “Foreign Support” and burdened by new debts sold to the unsafe poor ignorant as “Humanitarian Aid”??
None of the strong voices coming out either from the powerful loud-speakers in the various ‘squares’ of the cities and villages, or from the TV screens are expressing any sort of commonsense, for no one is preaching the real value of being a Liberal Republic endorsing Human and Civil rights* (see articles 18, 19, 28 and 29 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted and declared by the UN’s General assembly on October 10th 1948) where religion stay way out from Education and Politics.
None of the contenders on the mastership of the country’s destiny is talking about the future of the unemployed young graduate, the insecure worker, the enslaved housewife, the innocent new-born, the ethnic and cultural minorities.. None is talking to the ‘Citizens’.. They are all addressing the flock.. The pack.. The herd!!
That’s why none of them is laying down before the people the only options left to live by in the coming future, so that the people would chose knowing exactly what they will confront along with their children for quit sometime:
1)      Close the frontier and live behind an “Iron Curtain” for one or two generations until we are able to self satisfy our needs, knowing that in this globalised world no one is completely independent.
2)      Take the most advantage out from the re-emerging Cold War by using our strategic geo-political leverage as a bargaining edge to extort the maximum possible benefits from USA, Russia and China; after carefully weighing the pros and cons, because there are debts involved that will be collected.
3)      Adopt the Turkish model as the ‘Play It Safe’ pattern for a well balanced approach to the Western and International Cultures.
4)      Accept the dictates of the debtors and adhere to their will to live by their conditions for securing our day-by-day survival in PEACE.
And we need not only decide which option to undertake, but with and by whom: the Military or The Brotherhood?
Because we allowed Legality to vanish and be replaced by Villainy and Corruption, we deserve such new masters.. Ignorant and selfish just like us.. They keep talking while people are dying, and they will never sober up unless we do so.
