When those who have a Cause justify its smite

An oppressed nation, and an incapacitated leadership is the most accurate description of the Assyrian nation’s fate and its just Cause in Iraq following the fall of Saddam, and what the present political and religious leaderships have done as they have become totally incapable of leading the struggle of this nation in order to secure a promising future, a stable secure and prosperous life for this proud nation at this critical stage of its history of struggle, in comparison with the magnitude of sacrifices it offered and the tragedies it experienced particularly in modern history.
Even though this nation has put all its confidence, hopes, aspirations, potential and even the blood of its sons in the hands of those who were supposed to protect it, but to no avail because these “leaderships” bargained with, and sold the nation of Assyria …
When we take into consideration the situation of the Assyrian people and the series of injustices they suffered and continue to suffer particularly in Occupied Assyria (since the suffering of our people in the rest of Iraq is more painful and harsh) we find all the injustices, oppression, and persecution that have been recorded in history against people, have been recorded and repeated twofold in the pages of our people’s history.
A helpless nation whose will has been ravished, busy in finding the simplest ways to provide a living and a life of security, while at the same time this nation with all its denominations witnesses the fall and institutional decline of its political, cultural, educational, social, and religious society. A nation of many woes and calamities, whose emotions have surpassed the oceans, looks forward to those who are claiming its representation politically and religiously, it looks forward to its educated and elite to warn it of the dangers and work hard to take it out of its slumber, and correct the path for the sake of continuity. However, this nation doesn’t look up to its politicians, clergy, and the educated elite to mock and mislead an entire nation.
Those who promote and claim the representation of the Assyrian nation with all its denominations, and what is written and said by the so-called intellectuals and educated depending on their reasoning, and how they were caught in the trap of those who are behind their dispersion, in order to dismantle their nation by creating an overwhelming chaos within this poor nation while they are well aware of the seriousness of what is taking place and the scenarios prepared by those who created the chaos and division while they played their roles. The so-called national political parties, movements, or councils, are all defeated and lack the application of ideologies, “they say what they do not do and write about that which they do not believe in” but they still work as “politicians and nationalists” to pass the agenda of their masters in obliterating our national rights.
All those are accepting the Kurdification of the Assyrian land under the pretext of protecting the Assyrians with all their denominations, and they are repeating the alien name with which their lands and rights were usurped, thus they are deceiving the people by pretending that they are struggling and working night and day for the nation while they are passing the agenda of their masters and benefactors, the Kurds.
Deception is when some one deliberately hides some things, so that people wouldn’t find out the truth, and political deception is to mislead the public and the people by spreading misleading and deceptive ideas so that the masses may not reach the truth.
When words lose their meaning talking becomes of little importance, in politics and the Assyrian arena talking becomes merely a tool to cover up the suspicious deals taking place in the dark by those whom we have mentioned.
Those “philosophers of politics” who are working at the Tarazani court (Talabani and Barzani) try to convince us that a leadership is necessary for people’s lives and future, they simply want to conceal and disguise the damage of the Tarazani policy on them by covering it up with “sacred cloaks” and circling them with “halos” which would even make the angels jealous.
Camouflage makeup is used to conceal yellow bruises or skin redness, which follows skin peeling, in this case camouflage makeup is available in two colors, green ( dollar color) to correct skin redness of those who are changing their skin and purple to conceal the yellow (Kurdish) bruises.
The current national, political and media scene doesn’t require a close reading or a great effort in order to realize the extent of challenges facing the national, political and media speech vis a vis the media of Tarazani and their mercenaries in the light of entanglements and imbalances.
Those who have lost the values and principles of manhood are like someone who has lost his heart, mind, and sight, that is the case of the oppressive group of mercenaries who are leading the way and speaking on behalf of the Assyrians, those are in turn lead by those who are usurping the land of Ashur (Assyria) and want to obliterate Assyrianism.
We can only feel pity and sadness for the members and supporters of these political parties, organizations and churches, who are believing the fables of their superiors and clergy while they keep repeating like parrots what is being dictated to them but if they would think for a little of what they are listening to, they would know the extent of hypocrisy uttered by their superiors who are busy counting their dollars and they would have reached the same conviction like those who left these organizations and political parties and returned to the Assyrian nation’s bosom, because those claiming to be politicians and clergy are traders who are looking for goods to sell for the highest bidder.
Finally, I say to them: That which is wrong shall not last forever and righteousness is coming, this is their time and we will have our time, the nation, Cause and people which they have exploited to serve their own interests, forgetting the sacrifice of millions who were killed because they refused to sell themselves, their nation, and their Cause and the millions of living Assyrians who are eager to see justice taking its place following generations of oppression. The curse of all Assyrians shall follow them because they have betrayed the trust … How they allow themselves to relinquish the land of our ancestors, our fathers, our children, and our grandchildren forever, it’s not them or their masters nor those who are inciting them and their masters who will decide the fate of the land. Despite them and all the enemies of Assyria (Ashur) and the Assyrians, our Assyria shall never be obliterated. We are Ashur and many of our people are Ashur … We are aware how events are moving along … Lastly, their existence is dependent on the occupation, and they very well know how they shall fall and with whom, but the Assyrian national spirit shall grow and be strengthened so that the Assyrians may organize themselves.
We also know that their collaborating, Kurdified factions and the religious sectarian sides will try to support the idea of collapsing the Assyrian nationalists but even if Assyrianism has been subjected for generations but specially during the last six years to back stabbing, however, the Assyrian spirit shall resurge and crush all those who denied, back stabbed, bargained, traded and sold. This is history and we are a living people … Peoples may lose, but they shall not be defeated.
