Damascus has become a Favored Destination for Conspirators and Criminals! Let the Fact that they are Criminals be Clear in your Minds when Welcoming them
(Translated)

News:

A high-level Turkish delegation arrived in Damascus on Thursday, 12 December, including intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin, with the aim of meeting with the leadership of the new authority in Syria. It is the first visit by an international delegation to Damascus, after the fall of the al-Assad regime. It confirms the effectiveness of the Turkish role in Syrian affairs, and the next phase. In another context, a high-level delegation from the British Foreign Office visited the capital, Damascus, in the first official visit of a Western delegation, since the fall of the Assad regime. The delegation was headed by Stephen Hickey, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Department at the British Foreign Office, and the British envoy to Syria, Anne Snow.

Comment:

We would have sufficed with conveying these two pieces of news alone. However, there is much more to the picture. France sent a delegation, as did Germany, Qatar, and America... They send their intelligence at regular intervals, and also relay their assessments. News emerges every hour. Every hour there is news about a visit by a delegation. Everyone is now busy with the Syrian file. Everyone who conspired is now focused on the Syrian file. Everyone who previously collaborated with the criminal Al-Assad in his crimes, now claims to be keen on resolving matters, calming the country down, and ending the popular unrest.

This is what they declare and this is how they appear. However, bearing in mind their filthy history, we realize for certain that this stance is not borne out of caring concern. Instead, this stance is borne out of fear that matters will not continue, as they have been for a decade. The visits of these countries are not out of caring concern at all. The visits are not out of solidarity with us and our revolution. Instead, the visits are out of fear that matters will get out of hand. So, they mobilize all their capabilities, whilst praying day and night, taking turns to attend so that the unexpected does not happen.

Yes, Bashar fled. Yes, his true nature was revealed: a tyrant. An employee whom the powers threw out like trash, when the role assigned to him was spent. Bashar has become an example for anyone who wants to take heed. It is a recent, vivid cautionary tale, clear as the light of day, with no ambiguity. So best take heed! Bashar fled, humiliated and defeated. He fled after about a decade and a half of the sacrificing by the people of ash-Sham. He fled from the steadfastness of the people of the revolution. He fled from their resilience. He fled from the crowds that fell upon him, as if they were his resurrection. He fled humiliated and scorned.

Now it is a full circle. The delegations that now come to Syria do not want any good for us. We have experienced their conspiracy and criminality before. So let us be wise, and careful not to fall into their traps again. They are striving hard to keep ash-Sham under their influence. So let us be careful not to be led astray by them. Let us not let the Arabic proverb apply upon us وكأنك يا أبا زيد ما غزيت “It is as if you, Abu Zaid, never even fought.”!

In our revolution, we have set constants for ourselves. These constants arose after studying reality, and are not based on whims and obsessions. We said that we must cut off the hand of the West from our country. It is because we are certain that they are a plague and that they are criminals. Accordingly, we must apply this constant now. We must not allow them to return through the window, after they committed crimes and left through the door.

The constant of cutting off the hand of Western countries from our country is a correct and necessary constant if we want to honor the heavy legacy we inherited of sacrifices, blood, and other matters.

The criminal states have filthy goals and malicious intentions. Let our response to them be as the free chaste woman in Sednaya prison responded, أسّع جيتوا وين كنتوا؟! “You show up now, so what kept you?!” The language of the slap in the face she adopted is completely appropriate for them and for their years of conspiracy.
