In the name of God who put trillions of dollars of gas, phosphate, diamonds and gold under Syria because he wished for the people of the land to each have a gold palace for his family and free gas for all time. Who wishes for the women of Syria to be adorned with diamonds.

In the start we trusted each other with open hearts. Families put their faith in our small arms and our cause when we faced a government who was a world power in trade.  The government had an airforce and we had radar and radios.  The government airforce is now incinerated by our revolution.  The government sent foreign armies with boots on the ground against our kalaknkovs and Janam.  Families took haven in our armies of the revolution because they felt safer and wanted to be with us and not with the government.  We did not have many arms to protect the people but the people have come with the trust of their lives in their hands. The population supported our leaders as if they were fathers although they did not agree with the jurisprudence.

As more powerful governments were added to the equation our voices have been silenced.  We are the revolution.  We are not a government with trade revenues and foreign diplomacy.  There is one thing made clear from this.  The governments have all the power and they are dangerous and on the offensive against the population.  Bombing and starving people when they asked for the government to invest in the economy. 

Syria has trillions upon trillions of dollars of gas.  Syria has made hundreds of billions of dollars every year from phosphates and gas over the past twenty years.  Damascus has nothing to show for the billions and billions of phosphate and gas revenues he had.  There is something more sinister than the failure of assad to invest those billions in making a strong economy.  Assad had billions in the bank when he gave the orders to kill protesters who were hoping for jobs and improvement in economics.  When the revolution of Syria began to rise we never had anywhere close to one billion dollars.  It is dehumanization what the governments of the world have done to the individual man.
