(To the Surveillance: I told the Syrian Leadership to stop disturbing me, but as they insist, I will tell the Truth about them. The Difference is: I am telling the Truth, they are telling Lies and falsifications. No matter how high the manipulations Technology their Euro Allies provide, the Truth will win at the End).

I am not going to speak about my own problems with the Syrian Government, but would rather explain the general Troubles and dim Questions concerning the Truth of the Syrian Leadership. Let me just begin with the so called correctional Era having been declared by President Hafez Al-assad. The Background:
Hafez Assad was Minister of Defense 1970, when he was asked to send some Legions to Jordan. He refused the commandment claiming that such decision must be democratically met. The Ba’ath Party called for a summit to (democratically) discuss whether the decision be approved by the Majority. So after they gathered Hafez Assad sent his men to imprison them all. Days later, the Coup Leader (Hafez Assad) declared himself as the eternal President of Syria, claiming that his Coup is a mere correctional Movement of the Ba’ath Track. He arrested Salah Jadid (The Party Head) and the Syrian President live long (Both have died in the prison), but never discussed their Arrest democratically or unilaterally since he took over. Later Assad built his Statues every where, making Syria almost a Pharaoh Paradise. We should just recognize the Fact, that the Difference between his largest Statue near Dair Attiyah and the great Pharaoh Statue (Ra’amssis the second) is 3 Meters only. Ra’amssis Statue is 20 Meters high, and remain standing in the Rock Sanctuary (Egypt). In every School, Fabric, Park, Garden, Military Building, and at every City and State Gate you view his Pictures and Statues sculptured dramatically. In every national and military Ballade his Name was present, and in every Friday Speech, the Imam had to mention his goodness and pray to the Lord to keep standing by him in his victorious epos, heroic and immovable Resistance. In the Elections, the People had to dance and take to the Street showing Loyalty and Love (A necessary formality for people to get a job and keep living in peace). I was a Soldier when he was lastly elected 2000. We were commanded to take to the main square, singing his Hymns, dancing and reciting the usual hypocritical quotations. 10 Days we had to stand under the rain, admiring his greatness and heroic Wars on Imperialism and Zionism. At the End of the Assad Caucasus and Solo Race, hypocritical Campaigns and lying manifestations, we stood in line chanting and stretching our Hands! Why? Simply to be prickled by a small and sharp Pin, in order to bleed and finger print our sacrificed Yes to Assad. The Protest that Aids and other Diseases might be transplanted by didn’t help. They prickled my Finger with a fresh Pin, expressing their welcome, and had to print my bleeding Finger on the right Color (Yes). At the End, Assad gained about 96 or 97% of the Votes (something like that). Even Dead People had elected him, to be the eternal President of the Country. Much more, Assad used to be declared as the Father of Sportsmen, Students, Teachers , Soldiers, Workers, Farmers etc. He always addressed them as Sons. in the Parliamentary Elections, only Assad’s Allies became candidates and approved. The Syrian Parliament had never said No to any of Assad Decisions. All his edicts were welcome and warmly approved. Students and Scholars, Teachers, Workers and Farmers had to demonstrate when ever Assad ask them to. They flowed to the Squares, filling out the Streets, carrying his Pictures and Flags, saying Yes, Simply Yes (Yeah if you want). People know, that when Assad Name be mentioned in any Context, an applause must follow. I was in the Military Prison of Palmyra when Assad died. We heard an Imam reading Koran Verses. Little later, we had to gather in the main Square, as the Prison Director appeared and said; Mr. President Hafez Al-Assad left us today, a great Applause was widely heard (the Soldiers are commanded to give applause when ever his Name be mentioned, some thought that he left in a trip some where).At this point he differs again from the old Monarchs and Pharaohs in which we didn’t have to get killed in order to accompany him to death. So thank you Mr. President (Some Hypocrites would say why not?).
At every national Holiday, Workers and Scholars, Teachers, Framers and Soldiers had to take to sing his Name expressing their Yes (Oh Yeah, Yea Yeaah).
Questions: Was he a Ba’athist? NO. He killed, imprisoned and exiled even the Founders. Was he a Liberal? NO. Politically; individual rights and sovereignties Were always exposed to Torture, abusive Arrest and confiscation. Was he a democrat? NO. Elections were absolutely falsified. Was he a real Socialist? The Facts would say no to every question about him.
So what was our Assad really?
In those questions I would rather leave up to his Euro Sponsors. They know him better than we do. One thing we are confident about; he must be better than his Euro Sponsors, for they must have been directing and blackmailing him as well.
Between 1970 and 2000, the inflation grew to almost 1000%. His Brother Raf’at Al-Assad was the director of the Syrian Central Bank. Printing more Money for himself might be the Reason why the Inflation became so high. But an investigation about remain impossible, in so far Raf’at lives with his Money in Europe, claiming to be the champion of a new, democratic and free Syria. One thing we are confident about, Raf’at must be also cleaner than his Sponsors and Hosts. A Doctor and political Scientist, that has never read and well understood a single political Book.
Baschar Al-Assad (the Son and Successor of Hafez Al-Assad) pretended to be a Reformer, but his Reforms don’t seem to exceed his greedy Business Relatives. A great Monopoly became Syria Today. Politically; Elections remain a matter of Falsification, the Role of the Parliament remains paralyzed, the Security Forces are even more corrupt than before. A few positive Reforms have been met, but until now we can with a great Confidence speak of a dictatorial Baschar Al-Assad, about which a rich and explicit Comment will follow later (Oh Yeah). I encouraged his Reforms on the beginning, but today; I see in him a much more dangerous, hopeless and desperate Leadership. Some of his Arguments about Israel and the general international Middle Struggle might be right (but simply too little for a president), but in his relation to the local and most decisive interior questions we find neither legitimacy nor a good will.
As said before, more details and Analysis of his presidency will follow later.
