we see a crowd of videotaped cell phones, all pointing at the stage. The same picture from a hundred different angles. We will solve every ambiguity with just a teaspoon of intelligence. Our path will be cleared again and again.

Very few rebellions have ever defeated a dictator in history.  Because it is not possible for a normal man to fight a king.  He has no weapons of his own, he has no supplies.  A normal man cannot hope to defend against a government.  The people of the land have a limited ability to organize themselves unless they are near to each others location.  Three hundred years ago a rebellion was a hopeless cause.  You could never afford to gather all of the people in one place to resist the power of a king.  Today we have a small cache of “conventional” weapons.  What we have cannot compare to a governments army of 2024.  The only one who can defeat a king is another king of equal power.  The only one who can defeat a government is another government of equal power.  There is a history of the revolution of Syria which is sacred to the history of mankind.  A population has never experienced what the people of Syria experienced.  These are not the days of our uncles childhood.  We have tools that our uncle never touched in all of his youth.  When we look to Damascus today we see a crowd of cellphones set on video recording all pointing up to the stage.  The same image from one-hundred different angles.  Streaming to the world live and therefore, unstoppable communication.  We not only have the power but we are wielding it skillfully.  Ten years ago the presidential palace in Damascus was surrounded by rebellion armies.  Maher al-Assad lost his leg because of a bomb under the table.  The social media was flooded with declarations of defection from the conscripts of Assad’s army.  Every defector from the army renounced the government because of orders to fire weapons upon the youth who are protesting in the streets of their cities.  When Assad’s army defected and turn against him.  Assad began to leverage the natural resources of Syria to gain security for himself against the people of Syria.  Assad did not have any army because they denounced him.  Assads army was surrounding Damascus preparing to take him down.  He made a business deal which gave him a new army to replace the one that had deserted him.  In his final moments before his destruction he was saved.  The armies of the rebellion were sent back.  The people of Lebanon betrayed us because they are slaves of their own government.  They could not say no.  Their ability to eat and stay a free man depended on doing the work of the devil.  They lived a miserable existence knowing that they were killing their own soul. 

Assad’s empire broke back in 2013 and he was kept on life support.  The people of the land are very powerful.  The genocide in Syria was hidden.  They repeatedly said we have civil war.  There is no basis of reality in the terminology “civil war”.  We never had civil wars in Syria.  Assad lost the moment he started.  He summoned foreign powers to use the greed of corporations against a small population.  He purposefully destroyed infrastructure because the existence of the people of the land threaten his legitimacy in a fundamental way.  We remember the very first defectors.  We pray for the safety of the men.  We watched the assassination of every symbol of the freedom of the people of Syria since before the time we were turned back from Damascus.  The revolutions of our time are the first of their kind in history.  We are the first to take these paths of mankind.  We have a small number of words to convey to you every part you need to understand.  We will dissolve every confusion using only a teaspoon of intelligence.  Our way will be cleared again and again.  There is a beautiful poem that was written for Syria.  The poem tells the strong impact of the social media which mankind had never known until now. 

“Syria, all of Arabism wept.  Lamenting for your sorrow.  Amman shuddered.  Baghdad was terrified.  All hills of Sanaa trembled on the day of your grief.  I read in Khartoum verses of sorrow.  The wound of Arabism is bleeding at Damascus.  Beirut was in pain.  They struck you.  But you are innocent.  May the hands of the brutes be paralysed.”
