 (Translated freely: By Elias Bejjani) It is clear by now, the reform process lead by Syrian President Hafez Assad almost thirty years ago, was well orchestrated as a part of the holistic plan for the Middle East. Assad passed the test of the regional and international policy planners, when he was still Syria's Minister of Defense. He passed with merits when handed over the Syrian Golan Heights to Israel in 1976 without any resistance. Assad began implementing his masters' plan from his day one in power. Inside Syria he terminated all opposing and competing politicians and leaders through assassination, imprisonment or exile. He killed the spirit of resistance and struggle in the Syrian people. His criminal objectives were accomplished via barbaric massacres and Stalinist terrorism, which he committed against his own people. He killed thirty three thousand Syrian citizens within a few days at the city of Hamma. He destroyed and impoverished several Syrian cities and terrorized its residents through merciless security services' personnel whom he established for this purpose. On both the regional and national frontiers he divided the Arabs and hit hard on the Arabic nationalism concept by dividing the Baath party. He slaughtered the Palestinian resistance, distorted its power and then adopted and embraced it leadership. He later weakened its capabilities, destroyed its backbone and dragged it to the peace process. After that Assad moved his destructive activities to Lebanon and occupied it. He went on killing torturing, displacing, intimidating and exiling the Lebanese people. He looted their belongings and made their country a haven for drug trafficking - growing and terrorism. He made Lebanon a camp for training terrorists and protected the most notorious groups at the Bekaa Valley. Assad's regime was the mastermind behind kidnapping Western hostages in Lebanon in the eighties. Assad's regime assassinated the French ambassador to Lebanon Mr. De Lamar, exploded the USA Marine barracks and the French army basis in Beirut. He forced the foreign diplomats to leave Lebanon and assassinated many Lebanese leaders and dignitaries opposing his scheme. He assassinated President elect Bashir Jomayel, President Rene Moawad, Mufti Hassan Khalid, leader Kamal Jumblat, Shiek Subhi Saleh, MP Nassem Khderi, well known Journalists Riad Taha and Salim Lawsi and many, many others. Assad resorted to divide and conquer imperialistic doctrine. He viciously divided Lebanon's parties, religious denominations and families. He confiscated Lebanon's free decision making process and destroyed its democratic regime, to install in its place, a regime of puppets and collaborators. Mr. Assad executed exactly all his masters' plans as he was assigned. His reign as a result, enjoyed internal tranquility and peace for the last thirty years. But the way he used, abused and ousted others, those who were and are still using him are apparently getting ready to get rid of him. On October 13,1990 the Syrian Jewish Community card was withdrawn from Mr. Assad. In a deal he cut with Israel, Assad granted the Syrian Jewish community members full liberty to sell their properties and immigrate to Israel. He did so in exchange for an Israeli approval for his army to conquer the remaining free regions of Lebanon. At the Madrid peace conference Assad lost the Palestinian card and then his eldest son Basil was assassinated in an apparent forewarning, signaling the imminent end of his destructive role. Mr. Assad, the chameleon, tried to maneuver, turn the clock counter-wise and maintain his status and role, but in vain. His masters (regional and international western planners) learned about his betrayal to their plans, when the haven he provided for the Japanese Red Army members was uncovered. Under the Turkish pressure he was forced to distance himself from the Kurdish Workers party and its leader Mr. Oclean. It is well known that Assad has been hosting Oclean and his fighters at the Bekaa Valley for years, where they trained and planned guerrilla attacks against Turkey. The only cards left in Assad's hand currently are occupied Lebanon as a state, and Hizbollah party as a resistance force. Mr. Assad is trying to play a last resort game; he is trying to trade Lebanon for the Golan Heights. He is asking his masters to keep him in Lebanon and in return keep the Israelis in the Golan. It worth mentioning that Mr. Assad has sold the Golan to Israel in 1976, and forbidden since then, any kind of resistance against its Israeli occupier. Mr. Assad is currently more than ready to weaken Hizbollah and dismantle it if needed. He is even, more than ready, to offer more in a bid to secure the future of his second son, Bachaar, as a sole successor for him in ruling Syria. It is a rule of thumb in history; an agent starts big, then gets smaller and smaller up until his role and services are no more needed. Mr. Assad is on his way down, no matter what maneuvers he executes or what compromises he offers. The fate of traitors and tyrants has always been, defeat, retreat and humiliation, and history will repeat itself. Assad by God's will, shall be toppled and punished for the crimes he committed against mankind Long Live Free Lebanon Australia. January 8/1999 |
