In last week article I predicted this week article will be written somewhere far away from Egypt; I had a scheduled flight to Manchester, whoevex, as we say in our daily prayer:- The Lord's Prayer Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespassess as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen The Lord had different will, I have surrendered my life to his hands since I got Psalm 91 sometime ago, but not too long ago, and a flash light in my memory reminded me while reading it for the first time, of instances in my life when the Lord really protected me! Deep inside me I did not want to Travel!
I was planning to write about tourism in Egypt I had a few Ideas but once again terrorism and their actions imposed a change of plans in my last post from Egypt as I’ll resume my few future articles from other countries. Before I start I’m undecided may be you could help me make my mind; Some time ago an ISIS executioner of British origin clearly identified by name and origin despite his mask and disguise but his accent clearly identified him, his voice made it clear he was John whatever though he changed his name to Mohamed something!
This is a local Egyptian proverb “From each field a flower” and this is exactly what today’s article would be, not a specific subject but all subjects concerning Egyptians and Egyptian streets, the thoughts of today and yesterday, the 1st president visit to the United Kingdom in 13 years, the Aeroplane accident in Sinai, Old Age people concerns on a minister declaration about due pensions and many more issues but let me start with a vital question to international intelligence that suggests the Aeroplane accident in Sinai was a terrorist attack!
Yes first part of elections is over however set backs all over; We all know the results and somehow we are all disappointed When a business man his main activity is buying old houses, to demolish them and build towers over the same space the old house occupied with apartments for rent or sell in each floor as much apartments as the whole old house, it is a self generating money business why the hell would such a person buy his sit to the parliament buying the voters who decided not to vote for the good of the country nut accepted to sell their concious? Is it to help the country rise again? Where the hell was he when he left his construction site with a mountain of left over construction rubbish?
Last week for exceptional reasons I had to apologize from writing my weekly article as I never before had experienced such a strong stroke of flu. It was not just sneezing or coughing, rise in temperature or fever I just experienced all that adding to it a total drop of appetite and activity I could only sleep! After 3 continuous days of no food no motion no activity just continuous sleep interrupted by sneezing or coughing or both! Then by a miracle all alone was able to leave my bed, stand up and I really felt what God said:-
I feel really embarrassed and never thought of a day I would have to ask my readers –if I do have any followers- to excuse me as I'm unable to write or concentrate on the subject I was planning to write about it and it is so vital as elections are being closer by the minute, just few hours ago our president was speaking about it!
Ernesto "Che" Guevara born on June 14, 1928 died -assassinated- on October 9, 1967; commonly known as el Che or simply Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous counter-cultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture. He visited Egypt on 1956 and received by R.I.P. Ex-president Nasser, (documentary video clip about this visit still available on Youtube). As a young medical student, Guevara travelled throughout South America and was radicalised by the poverty, hunger, and disease he witnessed, his burgeoning desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States prompted his involvement in Guatemala's social reforms solidified Guevara's political ideology as Marxist.
I have already said it in previous occasions I’m just a guy like you not having access to top military or political secrets I just an observer like you I read news I think and ask questions no one would answer them I analyse events and write down my views right or wrong the future might answer or we might never find out where the truth lies! I do have the feeling we are already in a World War Three or WW III over the Syrian crisis. At the beginning of the Syrian and non Syrian immigrants flow to Europe I admired France stance and their desire to solve the Syrian problem once and for all not by just giving asylum to the refugees but stepping into the battle field if necessary and with optimistic hope I saw Germany’s reaction asking all involved parties to step out in a conference to solve this problem then I felt deep deep disappointment when the president of France said it loud and clear he can not allow Bashar El Assad participation in any political discussions since -from his point of view- he is the source of that problem!
When I was 10 years old I stepped my first ever time in to a school; do not judge me so fast, I was a child with special needs, and thanks God, he offered my a couple of parents who provided me those special needs! As a child I had a motion disability having suffered the well known disease (Polio). Who’s fault it was getting the disease in spite I was vaccinated on time, this is not my subject, bottom line is I was not -and still- able to walk like normal people, and once again thanks to my parents attention, I was not left paralysed on a bed till death, but they took upon themselves full responsibility to treat me and provide me with all special needs a paralysed child might need including my education and learning. Because when I was a child like any child my powers were limited add to it my paralysis (90-95% of my muscles were paralysed) I would never be able to walk with or without any walking aids, all walking aids need a lot of personal powers like the power to stand on your own -or artificial legs- using walking sticks still needs lot of power in your arms to support your body, and even with the necessary power you still need lots of training to become stronger, and again I say to R.I.P. My Mother thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the troubles you had being my trainer, my therapist on top of your duties as a mother of 3 children and a house wife. This does no mean that R.I.P my father did not help or remained idle, enough the financial and physical troubles he had taking me as a less than 2 years old paralysed child to Paris to get some real Medical attention when Egyptian doctors failed to provide true attention due to ignorance or incompetent!
The time does not wait for any one it is going on and on the earth keeps turning around the sun and our solar system and so on, time does not wait on us because we are sad or happy it would not even wait for us because we are not part of this living world but our acts will hunt us in history until we meet our final judgement by the most just judge!
For the past few days I’ve been following two main Issues, first was the refugees of Syria and other countries to Europe with a main demand [Better Chances of LIFE] and this by no means mean they are threatened in their lives due to Daesh -ISIS- massacres, many of those refugees come from African Countries far away from Daesh atrocities, they are just looking for a better life, including some of the Syrian refugees who left Syria from governorates not under attack but chances of work and life are too little if none in a country that suffers for years now from instability due to the Arab Spring, or conspiracies or what so ever reasons!
It is not the main reason of this article to talk about the famous Zero of Mariem Malak that obviously it was meant by the Muslim Brotherhood or better the Devil Brotherhood to create a sectarian conflict and disturbance that the blessed people of Egypt once again passed the opportunity for it!
Time never waits we run after it, time and time again we had to accomplish things because time would not wait for us! Suez Canal a living example it was an ambiguous project that Egyptians united behind their army and leader had to run to overcome time! They did accomplish a three year project in just one year! It is clear when Egyptians are challenged and they did accept the challenge nothing can stop them! Time and time again since Pharaohs times the ascended of Pharaohs proved their tough challenging skills, times and times again their land was occupied as occupants thought or got the illusion that the secret of success lies in the magic of that land not the personal skills of its owners! However, those owners with passion and love for the land did free it from those occupants to live free!
This is not a choice! I Believe in God not on the president, queen, king or the minister! With all due respects to any royal family or political entity of any country I always said it as a jock or an inner real feeling ME AND POLITICS DO NOT MIX! True, I lived in several countries and as a citizen in those countries you name them France, England or UK, USA, Antigua & Barbuda, Egypt, in each and every of those countries times had come to see elections, all kind of elections, and all kind of electorate propaganda! Yes propaganda that on the long or short run leads to nothing just like what had happened in Greece that caused its current financial crisis that is threatening not just Greece but the whole of Europe; Greek politicians for a sit in the government gave promises that to execute them without proper study used borrowed funds to give jobs, and social advantages overseeing how the hell he will provide funds to pay back his dues to the borrowers!
An other Day another time I have to ask people who many times A person is born or dies? Weird question I had to ask it to weak up people who want to impose their own will over God’s will! Yesterday Saturday 15th of August 2015 in many parts of the world is the celebration day of Saint Mary Jesus Mother that was honoured even in Islam! Some true Egyptians being Muslims will not stop them from honouring St. Mary and fast her fasting days moreover some of them would fast from 1st of August until 22nd of August -three whole weeks and it is not a must for them or their religion!
Unfortunately I can not speak or write my world this to the general public in Egypt the child that can not read yet, but can listen and understand words, not to drop the child with special needs, or the man and woman that can listen and understand they can even write and read, but not many languages! I just wished to speak to Egyptians regardless of his position the people we meet every day in the streets and say hello to them without knowing them or knowing you they would just return your hello moreover, who is far away and can not hear your hello they see you waving and wave back to you, this every day person we meet, man or woman grown up or child regardless of who is rich or poor, philosopher or ignorant, inventor or just an accountant and by the way I wish in the near future with the unlimited science capabilities an electronic device to be invented not only to translate from any language to any language but to be able to read it in the language of your choice moreover to demonstrate it in any way for people with special needs!
That is not my say it’s the subtitle of a new to come series or may be action movie on TV channel Max -MBC MX- the hidden hint as I guess is after 13 years -up to 2014- and two wars on terror terror is spreading worst than ever! Well let us recap between now and then to see if there is a real change or not; prior to this 9/11/2001 Europe was divided between two major coalitions the NATO that was created to face WARSO that included all Soviet Union countries in Europe, the name of the game then was USA and all Capitalistic Countries of Europe to Face the Social Wave trying to swallow Europe! To be more explicit keeping in mind new generations in Egypt lack education knowledge and history review I’ll say Capitalistic is the liberty to work win money and become richer and richer once you pay the taxes owed to the country that gave you this opportunity to become rich! On the other hand Social means to work and work for nothing as everything belongs to the country, they should take care of you theoretically but practically leaders take all resources for nothing and even more they would steel the rest, and that was the main reason for the huge collapse of the Soviet Union!
Last week with the end of the holly month of Ramadan there is officially a three (3) days feast celebration the month end, but unofficially celebrations extend for a week or more depending on the start official day best case scenario when the first day is an official day off ex-presidents and some national enterprises used to give an additional day off to replace the day off of the first day plus a day to replace the before feast stand by celebrations that makes 3+2 days = 5 day 2 days away from the full week off that were taken any way extending celebrations to a full week! Good opportunity for workers in summer time to have a week off away to the coast for feast and summer holidays; however this year no additional days were offered specially that on Thursday 23rd July was the memorial of the 23rd July revolution 1952; another official day off!
The holly month of Ramadan the fasting month of Muslims has come to an end and feast is due celebrations includes all Egyptians regardless of their religions. The good thing beside the joys of feasts is that the endless cues of soaps and serials had come to an end and I’m not a fun of those serials I like to watch a movie 1 or two hours and done I have no patience to follow or keep track of a serial, I.m not going to interrupt something I started to watch for a serial that will start elsewhere! However, due the the huge amount of serials some of them popped up forcing me to watch them as I had no other option! I and I decided to hint about some of what I had noticed as general comments without names, majority of the stories are nothing more than thugs, drugs, police officers chasing criminals, or corrupted police officers, killing and more killing! Bottom line where is the morals from such stories? Just to attract the attention of people or a new way to teach more ways for corruptions?
Before I start what I have to say, I’ll ask a vital question:- Is there a normal person that can LOVE his Father and HATE his Mother or vice versa Love his Mother and Hate his Father? Let me be more specific, I do not compare your Love to either parents I just asked if it was possible for a normal guy to love one and hate the other. Again I’m talking of normal regular parents, not a rude or careless father or mother! Well, if a normal person loves his parents, even if he had some bad memories with them but he tends out of love to forget and forgive those bad moments he had to face!
With 30/6-3/7 celebrations in Egypt lots of events took place, the assassination of the people’s lawyer was the start followed by the terror attack north of Sinai and countless of responses from loyal citizens as well as traitors! The major issue was how to respond! Obviously I’ll ignore traitors and their comments some of them sounds innocent holding within it huge danger! To make it clear, I said it before, but will say it over, may be we can grab the simple fact that makes our war so different than regular normal wars, where 2 (or more sides) fight against each other, as an example, WWII Germans with Japan, Italy and many others were in abbreviation Allies vis Germans
