Al Sayyed’s new issues in the philosophy of politics جديد السيد في فلسفة السياسة

Written by Nasser Kandil,
As in the festival of victory we wait from the leader of the resistance on the channel of the resistance to restore the course of victory and its stipulations. Al Sayyed has reassured the meanings of victory and the inevitability of the certainty of its repetition, what has been completed with the original will be repeated by the proxy, Al Sayyed shows the meaning of the partnership with Syria and the war on it. The issue is its independent decision,  its choice of resisting, and the completion of the war of July which the fight stops at it but has not finished “Most of our missiles  are from Syria” in this war as in the war of July the same alliance is facing the resistance and its allies, but Al Sayyed who masters the strategy the science of war, and politics does not leave any occasion for the communication with his public and the public opinion-makers in the Arab and the Islamic worlds without mentioning something new, which he want them to add to their information in order to accumulate their informational experience and an approach of understanding and analysis for the phenomenon in which they believe and for which they defend. Al Sayyed does not lead a nation of the resistance by proxy or by the organization alone but with the virtual relation which the thoughts settle and which the knowledge organizes in order to be as a philosophy for the resistance. It becomes a doctrine that combines people who do not know each other, where neither the fighters nor their leader know them, but they bread and increase through the belief in the resistance and its leader, where they give them more confidence which based on what exceeds the confidence that “who has accomplished will accomplish”, and that the eligibility for the leadership has been granted by the defeats of the enemies, and their admission of the exceptional superiority of the resistance and its leadership. The best proof of the possibility is the occurrence, what has been settled will be settled once again. Above all of that the confidence is established to become an institution, and when it is established it gets stronger and its structure advances to become more rigid. The meaning here is the establishment of a school from the concepts which are overflowed by the contemporary philosopher, the master of politics, the master of the psychological warfare, and the General of the victorious wars where there is no place for the defeat, he masters in all of these standards the science and what is more.
In the speech of victory Al Sayyed has presented his philosophy for achieving victory in the wars through elements of stability, and the decisive decision of going on despite the sacrifices to the ends of the ends without hesitation or retreat and by being confident of the reasons of power, deepening the credibility about the faithfulness and the nobility of the goals and their organic relation with the defending for the compass which was and still and will remain the fight of Israel, and protecting the people who were and still and will remain the force of the resistance and its incubator to achieve the goals. Regarding his dialogue on Al Manar TV he turned to politics to add a glamour and a luster to his speech by adding the fluency through new sayings, most importantly are two issues that are discussed by the politicians and the scientists of culture and thought in an attempt to explain the sources of the strength of the resistance and to know about their methodology. Al Sayyed stopped correcting the saying of the asceticism of power and said that it is not an asceticism  of the responsibility, he mentioned the meanings of victory, its dimensions, and the conditions of its formation in the war of July to renew from a different perspective the event of the fourteenth of August and the popular crowd to the South in exchange of American decision of linking the return of people through applying the resolution 1701 with a group of conditions that  make the return impossible.
In the first issue Al Sayyed reveals for the first time such an important saying that discovers the intellectual depth of the position of the resistance toward the power and toward the Lebanese internal affairs that can be a valid standard for any political action of a resistance movement or any reformist movement, so he set an equation” the corruption is not faced with what is more corrupted” its content is wider than the explanation of the issue in itself, it is the question about the outcomes of the position and not only about its reasons, because there were many reasons found by the analysts, researchers, intellectuals, and the friends of the resistance to ask it to be more strict in its position toward the Lebanese internal issues, and employing or putting the surplus of its force in the political change. But for the first time Al Sayyed surpassed the inquirers,  the most important historic factor is to be sufficient to intervene necessarily to protect the resistance and its weapons and not to miss the issue and indulge into another one more attractive but less profitable. So he enters to the philosophy of politics from the realism of responding to the response, who said that the more intervention does not necessarily protect the resistance, and that the opponents in the internal game are the conspirators against the resistance in the days of war and against its weapons,  and who said that in this interest and employment of the power in correcting the authoritarian reality there is a deviation  of the issue of the resistance, not an insurance of better conditions for this resistance, its issue and its requirements by getting rid of the reason of the permanent attrition. So he said” the corruption is not faced with what is more corrupted” he explained that the civil war is more corruptive than the corruption it is the transition of the country, the people, their security, their livelihood and the conditions of the way they manage their lives and their freedom from the worse to the worst, so the obligatory reasons for intervening must take into consideration not to lead to the worst whatever was the nobility of the thought, the goals, and the honesty of the seek. But in an igniting sectarian background as Lebanon this accident must remain present as a taboo in order to run politics, the movement of change and the efforts of reforming under this ceiling. The deepest significance here is that the war is corruption worst than the current which the advocates of the open confrontation are driving us to. So let us remember how all our generation went to the civil war in 1976 taking into consideration that the honesty of seeking for change is enough, thus was the worst instead of the corruption, maybe today we understand the meaning of the call of the Imam of the resistance Al Sayyed Mousa Al Sadr not to engage in the war and seek to stop it at any cost, and his certainty that it occurred to stop the peaceful reformist thoughtful modest and cumulative path, as we understand the meaning of the Syria intervention to stop the war and which was described by many of the nationalists at that time as preventing the victory which was almost approaching, while when the prohibition of the civil wars and the strives fall, and when the multiple fragile social composition of the lines of its divisions as political flammable contact lines do not present then the speech of Al Sayyed allows to conclude that the resistance movements can think seriously of solving the issue of the power.
In the second issue, Al Sayyed is presenting a deep explanation; for those who seek for the points of superiority which enable the resistance to have opportunities of the winning against forces that fight it under the big title which is represented by the Islam, with evoking the atoning forces to be the proxy army which completes what has been started by Israel which failed in accomplishing it as an original army of the enemy. Many have betted on unbreakable balance in any clash between the resistance and Al Qaeda organization since the writings of Martin Indyk in the nineties about the necessity of the seek to occupy what he called as the Shiite jihadist which is represented by Hezbollah which resists Israel in endless war with the Sunni jihadist which concerns the West and confuses it of how to manage it and to contain it. The basis of the bet on the balance here is the equivalence of the two teams in the point of their superiority to the west armies including the Israeli army, it is the ability of shedding blood, but here Al Sayyed is presenting a deep explanation of the point of superiority which is possessed by the resistance against Al-Qaeda, that causes the fall of the bets of the balance and makes the victory in its favor. The value of the human according to the understanding and the concept of the two teams is not the same either the human who is affiliated in the same project, or the human who is standing on the opposite bank with the difference of the definition of the other bank. His deep understanding glows when he evokes the inherent characteristic of the resistance several times by saying “ our resistance is popular, it is the resistance of people not mere fighters “ One of the victory’s reasons in July is the people who did not get weak or did not give up, did not exert pressure to abandon, but it gets more enthusiasm and stability , the  creeping on the fourteenth of August completes the victory of the resistance by breaking the barriers of the return to the south, and paving the way by blood which the people offered to ensure their decision of return back. The popular resistance which has an armed arm is a resistance that is responsible for its people, it gets strong by it, concerned of its worries and interests, the conditions of its livelihood, its security, its stability, the spirits of its sons, and its property, but it depends on the strength of this people, its loyalty, its persistence, and its willingness to sacrifice. It is the resistance of the grandfather, the father, the son, the grandson, the wife, and the daughter, thus it wins because every movement that does not have popular deep roots will be defeated even if it is an army of tens of thousands, this is the fundamental difference between the resistance and Al-Qaeda that makes the victory in its favor.
Al Sayyed is the master of politics, he has put between the hands of his lovers and the lovers of the resistance a new lesson that worth from many of who have dealt with the issues, which he gave deep answers for to have the courage of re-discuss.

ناصر قنديل– كما في عرس النصر يُنتظر من سيد المقاومة على قناة المقاومة أن يستعيد سياق النصر ومندرجاته، أعاد السيد التأكيد على معاني النصر وحتمية اليقين بتكراره، فما تمّ مع الأصيل سيتكرّر مع الوكيل، ويعرض السيد لمعنى الشراكة مع سورية والحرب عليها، فالقضية قرارها المستقلّ، وخيارها المقاوم، واستكمال حرب تموز التي توقّف القتال فيها ولم تنته، «فصواريخنا في أغلبها كانت من سورية»، وفي هذه الحرب كما في تموز، الحلف نفسه يقابل المقاومة وحلفاءها. لكن السيد الذي يتدفق علماً في الاستراتيجية وعلوم الحرب والسياسة، لا يدع مناسبة التواصل مع جمهوره وصنّاع الرأي العام في العالمين العربي والإسلامي، إلا ويقدّم فيها جديداً يريد لهم أن يضيفوه إلى مخزونهم فيزيدهم منه ليراكم لديهم خبرة معرفية ومنهج فهم وتحليل، للظاهرة التي يؤمنون بها وعنها يدافعون. فالسيد لا يقود أمة المقاومة بالإمرة أو بالتنظيم وحدهما، بل بالصلة الافتراضية التي تقيمها الأفكار وتنتظمها المعارف للتكوّن كفلسفة للمقاومة، وتصير عقيدة تجمع أناساً لا يعرفون بعضهم بعضاً، ولا يعرفهم المقاومون ولا سيدهم، لكنهم يتكاثرون ويزدادون إيماناً بالمقاومة وسيدها، يمنحونهما المزيد من الثقة المؤسسة على ما يفوق الثقة بأنّ من أُنجز سيُنجز، وأنّ الأهلية للقيادة منحتها هزائم الأعداء وتسليمهم بالتفوّق الاستثنائي للمقاومة وقيادتها، وأنّ خير دليل على الإمكان هو الوقوع، فما تمّ يمكن أن يتمّ مجدّداً، بل وفوق كلّ ذلك تتأسّس الثقة لتصير مؤسسة، وعندما تتمأسس تزداد قوة ويرتقي بنيانها ليزداد صلابة. والأصل هنا لتشكل مدرسة من المفاهيم، التي يفيض بها فيلسوف معاصر وعالم سياسة وأستاذ حرب نفسية وجنرال حروب منتصرة لا مكان للهزيمة فيها، يتقن في كلّ من هذه معايير العلم ويزيدها.

– في خطاب النصر قدّم السيد فلسفته لصناعة النصر في الحروب، بعناصر الثبات والقرار الحاسم بالمضيّ رغم التضحيات إلى نهاية النهايات بلا تردّد ولا تراجع، وبالتمكّن من أسباب القوة، وتعميق المصداقية حول صدق ونبل الأهداف، وارتباطها العضوي بالدفاع عن البوصلة التي كانت ولا تزال وستبقى قتال «إسرائيل»، وبحماية الناس الذين كانوا ولا زالوا وسيبقون قوة المقاومة وحضنها لبلوغ الهدف، أما في حواره على «المنار» فالتفت ليغرف من معين السياسة ويضيف لمعاناً وبريقاً لخطابه بإضافة التدفق بمقولات جديدة، أهمّها اثنتان، يناقشهما علماء السياسة والثقافة والفكر، في محاولة تفسير مصادر قوة المقاومة، والتعرّف على منهجيتها، فيتوقّف السيد تصحيحاً لمقولة الزهد بالسلطة، ليقول إنها ليست زهداً بالمسؤولية. ويتوقف عند معاني النصر وأبعاده وشروط صناعته في حرب تموز، ليجدّد من زاوية مختلفة التوقف أمام يوم الرابع عشر من آب والزحف الشعبي إلى الجنوب، مقابل قرار أميركي بربط عودة الناس في آليات تطبيق القرار 1701 بجملة شروط تجعل العودة مستحيلة.

– في المسألة الأولى يكشف السيد للمرة الأولى عن مقولة غاية في الأهمية تكشف العمق الفكري لموقف المقاومة من السلطة. ومن الشأن الداخلي اللبناني كلّه، تصحّ معياراً أكيداً لكل عمل سياسي لحركة مقاومة أو كذلك لحركة إصلاحية، فيضع معادلة قوامها «لا يرد الفساد بالأفسد» ومضمونها الأعمّ والأوسع مدى من الجواب عن السؤال بعينه، أو في شرح الموضوعة بذاتها، هو السؤال عن نتائج الموقف وليس فقط عن أسبابه، فكثيرة هي الأسباب التي وجدها محللون وباحثون ومفكرون وأصدقاء للمقاومة لمطالبتها بالمزيد من التشدّد في مواقفها من المسائل الداخلية اللبنانية، وتوظيف أو تسييل فائض قوتها للتغيير السياسي. وللمرة الأولى يتخطى السيد في جواب المقاومة على المستائلين، العامل الأهمّ والتاريخي وهو الاكتفاء بالتدخل بالمقدار اللازم في آن لحماية المقاومة وسلاحها، ولعدم الضياع عن قضيتها والانغماس بقضية أخرى أشدّ جاذبية وأقلّ جدوى، فيدخل إلى فلسفة السياسة من واقعية الردّ على الردّ، ومن قال إنّ المزيد من التدخل لا يقع ضمن الضرورة اللازمة لمقدار حماية المقاومة. والخصوم في اللعبة الداخلية هم المتآمرون على المقاومة أيام الحرب، وعلى سلاحها قبلها وبعدها، ومن قال إنّ في هذا الاهتمام والتوظيف للقوة في مجال تصحيح الواقع السلطوي تيهاً عن قضية المقاومة، وليس توفيراً لشروط أفضل للتفرّغ لهذه المقاومة وقضيتها ومتطلباتها، بالتخلص من سبب استنزاف دائم، فيقول لا يردّ الفساد بالأفسد، ويشرح أنّ الحرب الأهلية أفسد من الفساد، فهي انتقال بالبلد والناس وأمنهم وأرزاقهم وشروط إدارة حياتهم وحرياتهم، من السيّئ إلى الأسوأ. والأسباب الموجبة للتدخل معنية أن تحسب بالمقدار الذي لا يؤدّي إلى الأسوأ، مهما كان نبل الظنّ والأهداف وصدق السعي، وفي تركيبة طائفية مشتعلة كلبنان، يجب أن يبقى هذا المحذور حاضراً كمحظور، لتدار السياسة وحركة التغيير ومساعي الإصلاح تحت هذا السقف. والمغزى الأعمق هنا، هو أنّ الحرب فساد أفسد من الراهن يأخذنا إليه دعاة المواجهة المفتوحة، فنتذكّر فوراً كيف ذهب جيلنا كله إلى الحرب الأهلية عام 1976 وفي ظنه أنّ صدق السعي للتغيير يكفي، فكان الأفسد بديلاً للفساد. وربما اليوم نفهم معنى دعوة إمام المقاومة يومها السيد موسى الصدر لعدم الانخراط بالحرب والسعي لوقفها بأيّ ثمن، ويقينه بأنها جاءت لقطع مسار إصلاحي سلمي مدروس ومتواضع وتراكمي كان له في إطلاقه يداً طولى. كما نفهم معنى التدخل السوري لوقف الحرب، والذي وصفه كثير من الوطنيين يومها بمنع النصر الذي كانت لقمته قد دنت من الشفاه، أما حيث يسقط محظور الحروب الأهلية والفتن، ولا يحضر التكوين الاجتماعي المتعدّد والهشّ لخطوط انقساماته كخطوط تماس سياسية قابلة للاشتعال، يتيح كلام السيد الاستنتاج أنّ حركات المقاومة تستطيع التفكير جدياً بحسم مسألة السلطة.
– في المسألة الثانية يقول السيد بين سطوره للذين يبحثون عن نقاط التفوّق التي تجعل للمقاومة فرص الفوز على قوى تقاتلها بالعنوان الكبير ذاته الذي يمثله الإسلام، مع استحضار القوى التكفيرية لتكون الجيش الوكيل الذي يكمل ما بدأه وفشل في إنجازه «الإسرائيلي» كجيش عدو أصيل، والكثيرون راهنوا على توازن لا يكسر في أيّ صدام بين المقاومة وتنظيم القاعدة، منذ كتابات مارتن أنديك في التسعينيات عن ضرورة السعي لإشغال ما أسماها بالجهادية الشيعية التي يمثلها حزب الله المقاوم لـ «إسرائيل» بحرب لا تنتهي مع الجهادية السنية، التي تشغل بال الغرب ويحتار بكيفية إدارتها، واحتوائها. وأساس الرهان على التوزان هنا، هو تعادل الفريقين في نقطة تفوّقهما على جيوش الغرب ومنها الجيش «الإسرائيلي»، وهي القدرة على بذل الدماء، وهنا يقدّم السيد تفسيراً عميقاً لنقطة التفوّق التي تملكها المقاومة على «القاعدة» وتسقط رهانات التوازن وتجعل النصر حليفها. فقيمة الإنسان في فهم ومنهج الفريقين ليست واحدة، سواء الإنسان المنضوي في المشروع نفسه أو الإنسان الواقف على ضفة أخرى، مع تباين مساحة تعريف الضفة الأخرى، ويضيء فهمه العميق عندما يستحضر الصفة الملازمة للمقاومة مرات عديدة، بقوله إنّ مقاومتنا شعبية، هي مقاومة شعب، وليست مجرد مقاتلين. أحد أسباب النصر في تموز هو الشعب الذي لم يهِن ولم يضعَف ولم يتنازل ولم يضغط لتنازل، بل زاد حماسة وثباتاً، وزحف يوم الرابع عشر من آب يكمل نصر المقاومين، بكسر حواجز العودة إلى الجنوب وتعبيد الطريق بالدم الذي قدّمته الناس لتأكيد قرارها بالعودة. والمقاومة الشعبية التي تملك ذراعها المسلح، هي مقاومة مسؤولة عن شعبها قوية به، معنية بهمومه واهتماماته، وشروط عيشه وأمنه واستقراره، وأرواح بنيه، وممتلكاته، لكنها مستندة إلى قوة هذا الشعب وولائه وثباته واستعداده للتضحية، فهي مقاومة الجدّ والأب والإبن والحفيد والزوجة والإبنة، ولذلك تنتصر، لأنّ كلّ حركة لا تملك جذوراً شعبية عميقة ستُهزم ولو كانت جيشاً بعشرات الآلاف. وهذا فارق جوهري بين المقاومة والقاعدة يجعل النصر لها.
– السيد أستاذ السياسة وضع بين أيدي محبيه ومحبي المقاومة درساً جديداً، يستحق من كثيرين تناولوا القضايا التي منحهم أجوبة عليها في العمق أن يمتلكوا شجاعة إعادة النقاش.

Nusra Terrorist brags to mother of fallen soldier about beheading her son


Syrian rebel brags to mother of fallen soldier about beheading her son

Aleppo, Syria (5:15 P.M.) – A member of the former Al-Qaeda franchise “Jabhat Al-Nusra” called the mother of a fallen Syrian soldier to let her know that he beheaded her son inside the Aleppo Artillery Academy.
The Syrian rebel began the phone call by cordially asking who the lost cell phone belonged to; once the woman asserted that this was her son’s number, the man introduced himself as “Saqr Rahman Al-Ansari.”
Al-Ansari proceeded to tell the woman that he is a member of Jabhat Al-Nusra and that he beheaded her son at the Aleppo Artillery Academy.

Iranian Navy Intercepts US Destroyer in Strait of Hormuz

Four Iranian military vessels sped close to two US Navy guided missile destroyers with their weapons uncovered in the Strait of Hormuz, American defense officials said Wednesday.
The USS Nitze shot warning flares, sounded its whistles and attempted unsuccessfully to communicate with the Iranian boats during Tuesday’s incident, US Central Command spokesman Commander Kyle Raines said in a statement.
He described the move as “unsafe and unprofessional” encounter between Tehran and Washington,  adding that the Iranian vessels came within 300 yards (meters) of the American destroyer.Iranian vessels intercept US destroyer in Persian Gulf
The Nitze was accompanied on its mission by the USS Mason, another destroyer.
The encounter occurred in international waters in the strait, a vitally important choke point with Iran to its north and the United Arab Emirates to the south.
“Nitze also changed its course multiple times in close proximity to offshore oil rigs in an attempt to maintain separation and better understand Iranian intentions,” Raines said.
“Eventually, the Iranian vessels slowed before proceeding outbound.”
This was not the first maritime scare between the United States and Iran.
In January, the Iranian navy briefly captured the crews of two US patrol boats that had, through a series of blunders, strayed into Iranian territorial waters.
The 10 American sailors were released within 24 hours.
“We assessed the interaction as unsafe and unprofessional due to the Iranian vessels not abiding by international law and internationally recognized maritime rules of the road as well as their high rate of closure of Nitze and disregard of multiple warnings by the ship’s whistle and flares,” Raines said of the latest incident.
“The US Navy continues to remain vigilant and is trained to act in a professional manner, and we expect the same of all nations with professional maritime forces.”

The knot of Syria exceeds the knot of Vietnam عقدة سورية تتفوّق على عقدة فييتنام

Updated; English translation added

Written by Nasser Kandil,

Since the end of the sixties of the last century, Vietnam has occupied a crucial role in the dual formation of the collective mind of the peoples of the world in the East and the West. It was constituted what was known later as Vietnam’s knot at the level of the Western public opinion in general and the American in particular. It is the description which the experts launched for the refusal of the peoples to grant the authorization of military interventions outside the borders to their rulers, under the slogan of ensuring the strategic interests and achieving the requirements of the national security. While the peoples of the East who were living under the burden of occupation, aggression, and the Western client systems were affected by the example and the model presented by Vietnam about the abilities of the peoples to impose the will and defeating the mightiest colonial powers when they stick to their cases despite the enormous differences in capabilities. It is not secret that the peoples who arouse for their freedom after the victory of Vietnam have faced better conditions to achieve their goals due to suppressing the ability of intervention which was caused by Vietnam’s knot.
According to the historic concept of the developments of the communities and the countries, the imperial project which America represented the peak of the capacity which it possessed has been defeated, but what has been defeated is the traditional imperial project, which means the military colonialism project which was made by the advanced industrial state to open the markets and to have control on the raw materials and the energy sources. And because the capital momentum was at its peak with the new technical discoveries, most notably the ability to develop the information and the communications sector, the capital markets and their structures, the world has transferred to the great  imperial phase through which America has succeeded despite the defeat in Vietnam in overthrowing the Soviet Union, sticking to the value of freedom against the value of justice which the Soviet experience has failed in making its practical example identical to its theoretical proposal. Through the power of the system of freedom, such as the freedom of belief, religion, the individual property, the freedom of media, the freedom of parties, the freedom of demonstration, the freedom of exchanging the goods, the freedom of market, and the freedom of movement of money, a global wave has been launched and has produced organizations and institutions, that led the world for decades from the World Trade Organization, Stock Market, and Wall Street to the organizations of human rights and the organizations of the civil community towards the systems of communications and internet, Facebook, the social media, the satellites, and the audible and visual channels,  thus the national state has fallen and the globalization has emerged, in addition to what has permitted to the philosophers of the new imperial era through marketing the theories of the world’s end, the clash of the civilizations which their end depends on the ability to survive. The intention surely is the consuming culture which Thomas Friedman has summarized in his book “Lexus and the Olive tree” by the invasion of Lexus, which means the aspiration to luxury for all the olives fields, which means the private identities.
The project of the great imperialism has been completed with the seizure of the legacy of the patient Soviet man in Europe; the European Union has been constituted as an example of the first freedom committee. The war of globalization started its way from Afghanistan to Iraq to the war of July in Lebanon. Where the modern heavy wagon which was equipped with the techniques of laser has crashed with small stones that disabled its movement. The first consequences of the globalization with all its systems such as the fall of the major issues, creeds, homelands, and the penetration of the privatization to the structures of the armies is that the nations, the countries, and the armies wanted a war without blood, so they lost the ability to fight and their wars including the shameful immoral and inhuman confusions which their success was ensured by a commodity from the medial consumption market have been transmitted on air directly to the people’s homes, where the families which acquainted with the culture of claim of the moral superiority, where the families of the soldiers,  and the systems of the human rights which were formed for invading  the countries of others. The West which wanted to wage its war by plucking out the olive tress of others has discovered that it has become without its own olive tree or at least it did not find who can feed its olive tree by its blood because everyone wanted Lexus.
The war of Syria has occurred to culminate all the wars which preceded it, and thus it became the war of wars on which the fate of the project of the great imperialism determined, which based on the virtual economy, it was born from the virtual transcontinental geography and from virtual history of the pirates, the gold dealers, the killers of the indigenous people, and the new settlers. The project of the great imperialism wants to form a virtual state to rule the world, but against which many countries and real nations of real history, real economy, and real geography stood. The countries of the fixed assets have met the countries of the stock exchanges and the virtual stocks. So Washington did not find for its new project but a virtual recipe that borrows from the mid history an olive tree and another one from the far history to face the real olive trees of countries and nations that have national identities and which wage the movement of their independence, refusing the globalization of the huge three dimensions scanners, they insisted on the civilization of interaction and exchange, do not accept the freedom that only works in one way, they have the goods and the money while  they were prohibited on the humans. This time the imperial weapons was their contrary, two dried olive trees one of them is the Ottoman and the other is the ignorance which is represented by Al-Qaeda organization in its original version Al Nusra, and its modified version which is represented by ISIS.
In Syria the real modern civilization wins over the virtual civilization which the mercenaries of the Ottoman and the ignorance are fighting for its account, they are those ideologues who stick to the illusions of their olive trees, they are mercenaries as projects leaders whose their motivation is the illusions of sultanate and the caliphate, they are ideologues in the bodies of their followers who stick to the illusions of what they think that it is the absolute truth, and thus the hybrid imperial project falls as a result of the contradiction of its ideology which based on freedom and the fall of identity, because it does not find who can serve its project but only zealots to the extent of savagery in the identities which they foreshadow of , and through the ideological hostility toward the freedom. Syria has presented through its humanitarian project which based on accepting the other who is different religiously, comparing with Europe which could not offer something alike, and through its humanitarian alliances which based despite the difference of its premises on the tripartite the diversity, the national identity, and the civilization what can make the livelihood of the people better through well-being, law, and institutions.
The size of the challenge which was imposed by the war of Syria on the humanity in testing the ideas is much more than the challenge of blood, destruction and devastation which caused by the brutal experience which America brought to people who have long experience in the human civilization, but what is foreshadowing of goodness is that the ideas and the ideologies are as waves die and live by the power of the ability to form emerging power that has a viable project, that can withstand till it has the opportunity of exposing to the real test, so either it overwhelms by the power of success or it will fade under the influence of the failure. It is not a secret that the ottoman and the ignorance are the worst versions of the political investment for the fall of the positive ideologies. Their failure in solving the major issues, as well as the return of the people in the East and West to the religion will not make them survive after the resounding experience of their fall in Syria. The Ottoman and the ignorance will fade accompanied with the culture of extremism and atoning, and thus the religious and the secular thought will has the opportunities for the search for the humanitarian commons from the gate of Syria, Russia, and Iran, and the philosophical knot of Syria will be bigger than its military and political one according to America, and more inspiring to the people who seek for identity and protecting the olive tree.
As the major Israel and the great Israel have fallen by the fall of the occupation and the deterrence force and after the resistance has the honor of achieving this historic transformation which the war on Syria was needed to overthrow its effects, the project of the great imperialism which based on wars has been culminated by the fall of the great imperialism which based on wars by proxy, accompanied with the fall of the hypocrite project of globalization which based on the abolition of the national identities. Therefore Syria has become the castle in the two victories and on the two fronts, so just few years the libraries of the American books will be filled with philosophical, political, and cultural attempts that try to answer the question how did that happen, and who is that genius and who is that man who could from his office that locates off Mount Qassioun write this new page in the history of humanity?

– منذ نهاية الستينيات في القرن الماضي احتلت فييتنام دوراً حاسماً في صياغة مزدوجة للوجدان الجمعي لشعوب العالم على ضفتي الغرب والشرق، حيث تشكل ما عرف لاحقاً بعقدة فييتنام على مستوى الرأي العام الغربي عموماً والأميركي خصوصاً. وهو التوصيف الذي أطلقه الخبراء على رفض الشعوب منح التفويض لحكامها بتدخلات عسكرية خارج الحدود، تحت شعار ضمان المصالح الاستراتيجية وتحقيق مقتضيات الأمن القومي، بينما لدى شعوب الشرق التي كانت تعيش تحت وطأة الاحتلال والعدوان والأنظمة العميلة للغرب، فقد قدمت فييتنام النموذج والمثال، على قدرة الشعوب عندما تأخذ قضيتها بين أيديها، على فرض هذه الإرادة وإلحاق الهزيمة بأعتى القوى الاستعمارية، رغم الفوارق الهائلة في المقدرات، وليس خافياً أن الشعوب التي نهضت لحريتها بعد نصر فييتنام واجهت ظروفاً أفضل لتحقيق أهدافها بفعل لجم قدرة التدخل الذي تسببت به عقدة فييتنام.

– بالمفهوم التاريخي لتطور المجتمعات والدول، هزم المشروع الإمبريالي الذي كانت تجسّد أميركا ذروة القدرة التي يمتلكها، لكن الذي هزم هو المشروع الإمبريالي التقليدي، أي مشروع الاستعمار العسكري الذي تقوم به الدولة الصناعية المتقدمة لفتح الأسواق ووضع اليد على المواد الخام ومصادر الطاقة، ولأن قوة الدفع الرأسمالية كانت في أوج صعودها مع الاكتشافات التقنية الجديدة، وأهمها القدرة على تطوير قطاع المعلومات والاتصالات، وأسواق المال وهيكلياتها، انتقل العالم إلى مرحلة الإمبريالية العظمى، الذي نجحت معه أميركا رغم الهزيمة في فييتنام، من إسقاط الاتحاد السوفياتي، متمسكة بقيمة الحرية، بوجه قيمة العدالة التي فشلت التجربة السوفياتية في جعل نموذجها العملي مطابقاً لعرضها النظري، وبقوة منظومة الحرية، حرية المعتقد والدين وحرية الملكية الفردية، وحرية الإعلام، وحرية الأحزاب، وحرية التظاهر، وحرية التبادل للبضائع وحرية السوق، وحرية تنقل الأموال، انطلقت موجة عالمية أنتجت منظمات ومؤسسات، قادت العالم لعقود، من منظمة التجارة العالمية وبورصة وول ستريت، إلى منظمات حقوق الإنسان ومنظمات المجتمع المدني، وصولاً لمنظومات الاتصالات والإنترنت، والفايسبوك وشبكات التواصل الاجتماعي، والأقمار الصناعية والفضائيات المرئية والمسموعة، لتسقط الدولة الوطنية، وتظهر العولمة، ما أتاح لفلاسفة العهد الإمبريالي الجديد، التسويق لنظريات نهاية العالم، وصدام الحضارات، المحسومة نهايته للأقدر على البقاء، والقصد طبعاً الثقافة الاستهلاكية، التي اختصرها توماس فريدمان في كتابه سيارة اللكزس وشجرة الزيتون، باجتياح اللكزس، أي التطلّع نحو الرفاه، لكل حقول الزيتون، أي الهويات الخصوصية.

– اكتملت عضلات مشروع الإمبريالية العظمى، مع الاستيلاء على تركة الرجل السوفياتي المريض في أوروبا، وتشكل الاتحاد الأوروبي كنموذج لجنة الحرية الأولى، وبدأت حرب العولمة طريقها من افغانستان إلى العراق إلى حرب تموز في لبنان، واصطدمت العربة الثقيلة العصرية والمزودة بكل تقنيات اللايزر، بحجارة صغيرة، عطلت مسيرتها، فكانت أولى ثمار العولمة بكل منظوماتها ومنها سقوط القضايا الكبرى والعقائد والأوطان وتغلغل الخصخصة إلى هياكل الجيوش، أن الشعوب والدول والجيوش صارت تريد حرباً بلا دماء، ففقدت القدرة على القتال، وصارت حروبها بما فيها الارتكابات المشينة واللاأخلاقية واللاإنسانية، التي تضمن نجاحها سلعة من سوق الاستهلاك الإعلامي تنقلها الشاشات على الهواء مباشرة إلى بيوت الناس، حيث العائلات المشبعة بثقافة الادعاء بالتفوق الأخلاقي، حيث أسر الجنود، وحيث منظومات حقوق الإنسان التي تشكلت لغزو بلاد الغير. واكتشف الغرب الذي أراد خوض حربه لاقتلاع أشجار زيتون الآخرين، أنه بات بلا شجرة زيتون تخصّه، أو على الأقل لا يجد مَن يفدي شجرة زيتونه بدمه، فالكل يريد سيارة اللكزس.

– جاءت حرب سورية لتتوّج كل الحروب التي سبقتها، وتكون حرب الحروب التي يتوقف عليها تحديد مصير مشروع الإمبريالية العظمى، الذي يقوم على الاقتصاد الافتراضي، وولد من جغرافيا افتراضية عابرة للقارات، ومن تاريخ افتراضي للقراصنة وتجار الذهب وقتلة السكان الأصليين، المستوطنون الجدد، ويريد أن يشكل دولة افتراضية لحكم العالم. وقفت قبالته دول وشعوب حقيقية، بتاريخ حقيقي واقتصاد حقيقي، وجغرافيا حقيقية، وتلاقت دول الأصول الثابتة مع دول البورصات والأسهم الافتراضية، فلم تجد واشنطن لمشروعها الجديد إلا وصفة افتراضية تستعير شجرة زيتون من الماضي المتوسط وأخرى من الماضي السحيق، لتواجه أشجار الزيتون الحقيقية لدول وشعوب لديها هوياتها الوطنية، تخوض حركة استقلالها، وترفض عولمة الناسخات الضخمة الثلاثية الأبعاد، وتصرّ على حضارة التفاعل والتبادل، ولا تقبل حرية لا تعمل إلا باتجاه واحد، وتحظى بها البضائع والأموال وتحظر على البشر، فكان السلاح الإمبريالي هذه المرة نقيضها، شجرتا زيتون مخشبتان، واحدة اسمها العثمانية والثانية اسمها الجاهلية التي لبس ثوبها تنظيم القاعدة بنسختيه الأصلية التي تمثلها النصرة ونسخته المعدلة التي يمثلها داعش.

– تنتصر في سورية المدنية الحديثة الواقعية، على المدنية الافتراضية التي يقاتل لحسابها مرتزقة العثمانية والجاهلية العقائديون المتمسكون بأوهام أشجار زيتونهم. فهم مرتزقة كقادة مشاريع حافزهم أوهام السلطنة والخلافة، وعقائديون، بأجساد مريديهم المتعلقين بأوهام ما يظنونه الحقيقة المطلقة، ليسقط المشروع الإمبريالي المهجن، بتناقض عقيدته القائمة على الحرية وسقوط الهوية، بأنه لم يجد مَن يخدم مشروعه إلا متزمتون حتى التوحش في الهويات التي يبشرون بها، وبالعداء العقائدي للحرية، وقدّمت سورية بمشروعها الإنساني القائم على قبول الآخر المختلف دينياً بما لم تستطع أوروبا بعد تقديم مثله، وبتحالفاتها الإنسانية القائمة رغم اختلاف منطلقاتها على ثلاثية التعدد والهوية الوطنية والتمدن، بما هو الأخذ بما ترفد به عقول البشر شوط حياتهم للأفضل من رفاه، وقانون، ومؤسسات.

– حجم التحدي الذي فرضته حرب سورية على البشرية، في اختبار الأفكار أكبر بكثير من تحدي الدم والدمار والخراب الذي خلفته التجربة المتوحشة التي جلبتها أميركا لشعب كان له باع طويل في كتابة الحضارة الإنسانية، لكن ما يجب الالتفات إليه ويبشّر بالخير، هو أن الأفكار والعقائد هي موجات تموت وتحيا بقوة القدرة على تشكيل قوة صاعدة، تحمل مشروعاً قابلاً للحياة، وتستطيع الصمود حتى تتاح لها فرصة التعرّض للاختبار الواقعي، فإما أن تطغى بقوة النجاح أو تتهاوى وتتلاشى تحت تأثير الفشل، وليس خافياً أن موجتي الجاهلية والعثمانية، كأسوأ نسختين للاستثمار السياسي لسقوط العقائد الوضعية، وفشلها في حل القضايا الكبرى، وعودة الشعوب شرقاً وغرباً للتدين، لن تكون لهما قابلية عيش بعد التجرية المدوية لسقوطهما في سورية، فالجاهلية والعثمانية ستتلاشيان ومعهما ثقافة التطرف والتكفير، وسيكون للفكر الديني والعلماني فرص البحث عن مشتركات إنسانية من بوابة سورية وروسيا وإيران، وستكون عقدة سورية الفلسفية أكبر من عقدتها العسكرية والسياسية بالنسبة لأميركا، وأشد إلهاما للشعوب على ضفاف البحث عن الهوية وحماية شجرة الزيتون.

– بمثل ما سقطت إسرائيل الكبرى وإسرائيل العظمى، بسقوط قوة الاحتلال وقوة الردع، وكتب للمقاومة شرف إنجاز هذا التحول التاريخي، الذي أريد للحرب على سورية إسقاط مفاعيله، توّج سقوط مشروع الإمبريالية الكبرى القائمة على الحروب، بسقوط الإمبريالية العظمى القائمة على حروب الوكالة، ومعهما سقط مشروع العولمة المخادع، القائم على إلغاء الهويات الوطنية، وكتب لسورية أن تكون القلعة في الانتصارين وعلى الجبهتين. وسنوات قليلة ستمتلئ خزائن الكتب الأميركية بمحاولات فلسفية وسياسية وثقافية تحاول الإجابة عن سؤال، كيف حدث هذا، وأي عبقري هو هذا الرجل الذي استطاع من مكتبه القابع قبالة جبل قاسيون أن يكتب هذه الصفحة الجديدة في تاريخ الإنسانية؟

Erdogan’s Terrorist Capture Jarablus without fighting, in other words Turkis Backed -Terrorists just changed their Uniform





Following the capture of three villages west of the key town of Jarablus, Turkish-backed rebels advanced on the last ISIS-held border crossing with the support of Turkish artillery, coalition airstrikes, and Turkish Special Forces.
Notably, the city was captured by the Islamist rebels with no firefights reported. Earlier reports suggesting Islamic State militants abandoned the city several weeks ago are now of confirmed merit as intelligence increasingly suggests a massive IS withdrawal in northern Syria in favor of creating a new line of defense around Al-Bab, ISIS’s current administrative capital in Aleppo.
It is clear that the huge grouping of rebels along the Turkish border aims at seizing a corridor that stretches from Jarablus to Azaz thereby creating a buffer zone between Turkey, ISIS, and the YPG whom it alleges to contain elements of the PKK terror group.

Turkish Tanks Roll into Jarablus, Syria Denounces Flagrant Violation of Sovereignty

Local Editor
A dozen Turkish tanks rolled across the Syrian border as part of a military operation backed by jets and US-led coalition warplanes after heavy Turkish shelling of an area held by Daesh [Arabic acronym for “ISIS” / “ISIL”].
Turkish tanks in Syria
Military sources told Turkish media 70 targets in the Jarablus area had been destroyed by artillery and rocket strikes, and 12 by air strikes.
Turkish Special Forces entered Syria earlier as part of the offensive.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the operation was aimed against both Daesh and Kurdish fighters.
Turkey shelled Syrian Kurdish forces in the region this week, determined not to let them fill the vacuum if Daesh leaves.
The concern in Ankara is that the Kurds could create an autonomous area close to the border which might foster Kurdish separatism within Turkey itself.
The tanks were followed by pick-up trucks believed to be carrying Turkish-backed Syrian militants from the so-called “Free Syrian Army”.
“At 04:00 [01:00 GMT] our forces began an operation against the Daesh and PYD [Kurdish Democratic Union Party] terror groups,” President Erdogan said in a speech in Ankara.
The offensive is aimed at “putting an end” to problems on the border, he said.
The Turkish town of Karkamis – just across the border from Jarablus – was evacuated as a precaution following earlier Daesh mortar attacks.
Turkey has vowed to “completely cleanse” Daesh from its border region, blaming the group for a bomb attack on a wedding that killed at least 54 people in Gaziantep on Saturday.
A source at the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates denounced this military intervention by Turkey on Syrian territory.
“The Syrian Arab Republic reaffirms that the fight against terrorism on Syrian soil by any party must be conducted in coordination with the Syrian government and the Syrian Arab army, which has been engaged in these battles for more than five years,” he was quoted by SANA as saying.
He went on to say that the Syrian government
“condemns this violation of sovereignty and stresses that the fight against terrorism is not in the expulsion of Daesh and replacing them with other terrorist organizations backed by Turkey.”
The same source pointed out that
“What is happening in Jarablos now is not a fight against terrorism as claimed by Turkey, but a replacement of a terrorist by another.”
Accordingly, “Syria demands an end to this aggression and calls upon the United Nations for the implementation of related resolutions, in particular, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the ministry source said.
The source demanded that
“Turkey and the US-led coalition respect international resolutions, particularly those related to the closure of the border and the eradication of terrorism.”
In another development, US Vice-President Joe Biden arrived in Turkey on Wednesday in the highest-ranking visit by a Western official since the failed coup on 15 July.
This is Turkey’s first known ground incursion into Syria since a brief operation to relocate the tomb of Suleyman Shah, a revered Ottoman figure, in February of last year.
The air strikes are Turkey’s first inside Syria since the downing of a Russian jet in November. Moscow and Ankara only mended ties in June after punitive Russian sanctions.

MP. Omar Ousi calls on Syrian Kurds not to bet on U.S. project in region

Head of the Syrian Kurds’ National Initiative MP. Omar Ousi has underscored that the recent dramatic development in Hasaka city serve the enemies of Syria and of Kurds, calling on the Kurds not to bet on the American project in the region.
He also appealed to the Syrian national political leadership not to trust the Turkish President RacepTayyip Erdogan because he is the leader of the Muslim brotherhood.
Speaking to the Damascus-based al-Watan newspaper on Tuesday, the MP unveiled that a Kurdish delegation composed of spokesman of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) Mr. Ridor Khalil and General Commander of the YPG Mr. Siban Hammo plus several leaders from the units and the Asayish accompanied by Russian generals headed to Hmeimimair base on Monday afternoon to  reach sustainable truce.
“We in the Syrian Kurds’ National initiative and I myself have taken part in efforts being exerted to reach a truce. We have contacted with all participating sides, and I think- God willing- that the two sides will reach a sustainable truce to stop bloodshed of comrades in arms,” Mr. Ousi said.
He expressed optimism over reaching a solution to end the conflict in Hasaka city.
“Now, we are going through hard times and it is not a good time to  put the blame on one side or another. We belong to one homeland.. Arabs and Kurds and the other components of the Syrian people ,” the MP added.
He clarified that the Syrian Kurds, mainly the YPG, have offered thousands of martyrs to defend the other Syrian components in the north of Syria.
“America has no agenda for the Syrian Kurds. It is searching for a partner on the ground to control part of the Syrian territories in the north-eastern side of Syria in order to be invested in the international conferences against the Syrian national project and the allies – Russia and Iran-“ Mr. Ousai asserted.
He referred to the Pentagon’s recent remarks about the U.S. readiness to send U.S. jets into Hasaka to protect the American ground forces in al-Shdadi, al-Rmilan and near Hasaka .
Turkey
Add to that, the MP asserted that Turkey will never change its position in the US-Zionist plan and it is the south-eastern wing of the NATO.
” I appeal to the Syrian leadership not to repeat the previous strategic mistake of openness to Turkey economically, politically and security,” Mr. Ousi said, calling on some Arab and Syrian political analysts not to take part in the media campaign being launched against the Syrian Kurds.
“Arabs, Kurds and Christians will remain one people,” he concluded.
Truce
Yesterday, the Syrian TV channel reported that an agreement to halt fighting was reached in the northeastern Hasaka province and it came into effect at 14:00 p.m.
The agreement was reached few days after the Asayish, the military wing of the Kurdistan Workers Party, escalated its provocative actions in Hasaka city, attacking state establishments, stealing oil and cotton, disrupting exams, carrying out abductions, and causing a state of chaos and instability.
The provocations amounted to encircling Hasaka city, shelling it with artillery and tanks and targeting the Syrian Arab Army positions in it, claiming the lives of a number of military personnel and civilians, according to the official news agency (SANA).
The agency added that the Asayish’s persistence in their acts required a suitable retaliation by Syrian Arab Army as it targeted the sources of artillery fire and the groupings of armed elements responsible for these criminal actions.
Less than 10 hours after reaching a truce agreement with the official government parties on Sunday, the Asayish violated the agreement and launched attacks on residential neighborhoods and government establishments in Hasaka.

Clinton: A Brain-damaged US President with Finger on the Nuclear Button

Source
Author: F. William Engdahl 

345345345Hillary Rodham Clinton seems to surround herself with more scandals than you can shake a stick at, as we said when I was growing up in Texas. We had the Mena, Arkansas scandals when her husband, Bubba, otherwise known as William Jefferson Clinton, was Attorney General and then Governor. Ambrose Evans Pritchard, the British Telegraph investigative journalist did a masterful documentation of that in his The Secret Life of Bill Clinton, when Bill was President facing impeachment in the 1990’s. Then there are the Clinton Foundation scandals documented in the 2015 Peter Schweitzer book, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, detailing how Hillary abused her office as Secretary of State to steer huge Saudi and other “donations” to the Clinton Foundation on whose board she sat as soon as leaving office as Secretary of State. There are of course the national security e-mail server scandals which a corrupted Attorney General and a corrupt FBI director swept under the rug. This latest scandal puts all others in the background. It’s her refusal to release all medical records detailing her medications and true state of health following a brain concussion in 2012. The Democratic candidate is likely medically suffering from irreversible dementia.
On August 8, a New Jersey radio host and blogger released what he claimed were leaked copies of Hillary Clinton’s 2014 medical records from her doctor, Lisa Bardack M.D. of the Mt. Kisco Medical Group in upstate New York. According to the documents, Dr. Bardack wrote that Clinton had “early-onset Subcortical Vascular Dementia” following a serious brain concussion she suffered from a fall when she was Secretary of State, on December 7, 2012. After that fall, she spent six months in constant hospital care according to Bill Clinton, who told ABC News in 2014 that her injury “required six months of very serious work to get over.” On February 1, 2013 Secretary of State and future Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, abruptly resigned as Secretary of State with no link to her health mentioned.
ABCNews in May, 2014 cited the following quote from her doctors, one of whom was Dr. Lisa Bardack: “In the course of a routine follow-up MRI on Sunday, the scan revealed…a clot in the vein that is situated in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear. It did not result in a stroke, or neurological damage. To help dissolve this clot, her medical team began treating the Secretary with blood thinners…” – Dr. Lisa Bardack, Mt. Kisco Medical Group, and Dr. Gigi El-Bayoumi, George Washington University.
According to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, Subcortical Vascular Dementia “is a progressive disease; there is no cure.” Symptoms include forgetfulness, changes in speech, an unsteady gait, clumsiness or frequent falls, changes in personality or mood. Candidate Clinton has been filmed by the media in recent weeks frequently stumbling and falling for no apparent reason. She often appears on the podium with a man whose function appears to be there in case she loses balance. The copy of Dr. Bardack’s 5 February 2014 follow-up examination, if genuine, states that Mrs. Clinton reported to her that the “blacking out, uncontrollable twitching and memory loss have become worse…The patient scored significantly lower on today’s test than when tested in 2013…The patient is also showing signs of having more frequent complex seizures.”
The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, an internationally renowned center for research on Altzheimers and other brain illnesses, defines “Subcortical Vascular Dementia” as follows: Subcortical vascular dementia, also called Binswanger’s disease, is caused by widespread, microscopic areas of damage to the brain resulting from the thickening and narrowing (atherosclerosis) of arteries that supply blood to the subcortical areas of the brain.
Now on August 17, the Clinton campaign headquarters released a statement purporting to be from Dr. Bardack and provided to FactCheck.org. In the statement Dr Bardack is quoted stating that the leaked health documents were not authentic, declaring they were “false, were not written by me and are not based on any medical facts.”
Given the highest issues of the true health situation of a candidate quite possibly becoming the next US President, however, it is not satisfactory that the statement is released by Clinton’s campaign to FactCheck.org and is not made directly by Dr. Bardack herself to lay rumors to rest. She herself refuses to reply to press queries. So the quoted denial is not at all sufficient, given the very high stakes for the nation and world. Whatever the truth of the alleged leaked medical report of Dr. Bardack, it is a matter of undeniable record that Clinton has repeatedly been filmed during the campaign stumbling and falling. Poor balance is typically associated with strokes or head injuries. Did she suffer a stroke in December, 2012 that caused her to fall and suffer a concussion, or did the brain concussion cause the stroke? Are her frequent severe coughing attacks a result of anti-seizure medication? If so, which?
Relevant also is a report run in the online site, Infowars, by Paul Joseph Watson, reporting on information provided to his associate at the recent Republican National Convention in Cleveland by a Secret Service “whistleblower,” who reportedly stated, based on direct observation of other Secret Service agents detailed to the Clinton campaign that:
“– Hillary has a very serious neurological degeneration which could be Parkinson’s disease;
– Around half a million dollars has been spent to specially adapt three SUVs in which Hillary travels to provide lowered floors and disabled access to prevent Hillary from tripping.
– Hillary’s staff is so intent on keeping reporters away from Clinton because she is at risk of petit mal seizures that can be triggered by camera flashes;
– Hillary has major problems with balance, difficulties with walking and keeps falling down;
– Hillary’s campaign will be forced into making a big announcement soon regarding her medical condition.”
That was reported at the Infowars website on 15 August. Two days later, not Dr. Bardack but the Clinton Campaign via FactCheck.org releases a purported denial of the authenticity of the leaked health documents. Was this the major announcement expected? If so, it appears a poor job.
What then do the true records of Dr Bardack reveal? What do the medical records of Hillary Rodham Clinton when she underwent the six months of very intensive treatment reportedly in New York City’s Columbia University Medical Center reveal about her condition? What, if any, medication is she on today? Is she on blood-thinners? If so, which and what doses so that competent medical experts can comment on the risks. Anti-depressant drugs? Aspirin?
A candidate for public office, especially the highest office in the nation is no longer an ordinary private person. They have a responsibility to be open about their true medical condition. So far, Hillary Clinton has refused. Not only is it irresponsible, it is alarming, truly scary. The mainstream liberal USA media is not touching the issues in any serious way. We have a right to access to a complete and unbiased analysis of her health and medical treatment. She is a candidate for US President, the one with the finger on the nuclear button. She is not running for City Council of Mt. Kisco or president of the local Parent-Teachers’ Association. If her own husband states to the media in 2014 that she had “a terrible concussion that required six months of very serious work to get over,” this is no minor event.
