Hosni Mubarak's dead body or Egypt's dead body
Published on Thursday, June 23, 2022
There is a conspiracy that has been planned for ten years. It meant to bring Egypt down to its knees, paralyze it, and fragment its army in favour of the project and dream of Greater Israel.
The talk about Mubarak's forced resignation is inaccurate. The evidence of history is not based on emotions as much as it is based on the fact-finding of those who lived through those events.
Colleague Dr. Mohamed El-Baz, the executive editor-in-chief of al-Bawaba, wrote an article that some considered tragic, agonizing and painful.
The article was titled 'When will we bury the body of Hosni Mubarak?' I considered it the opening of a debate that may extend between me and him, not only on al-Bawaba's pages, but I hope that it extends to include social networking sites, satellite channels, private and public newspapers, and internet sites. It was learned from American plans in this regard.
First of all, I think Dr. Mohamed was referring to the era of Hosni Mubarak, not Mubarak personally, when he talked about the burial process. This is the era in which, as he said, 'manifestations of corruption, torture, and stifling talents were rampant, etc., because it became a burden on the future as it is a burden on the present in a country that is trying to rise up, even as it is shackled by many complex crises.
At the outset, I would like to emphasize that we are launching this debate for the benefit of Egypt and the truth. Without knowing the facts, neither peoples nor nations can build their future.
At the outset, let me also not be drawn into discussing what my dear colleague confirmed as irrefutable facts about the prevalence of corruption, torture, stifling energies, and eroding political life...etc. during the Mubarak era, with my recognition that every part of what the colleague said is true. I have previously confirmed that it represents the objective circumstances that some took advantage of, including the US and its allies to draw a map to overthrow the rule of former President Hosni Mubarak.
I thank Dr. El-Baz because he sufficed the evil of entering into sophistication when he admitted that the revolution turned into a conspiracy after the Brotherhood kidnapped it. However, the dispute here is whether the conspiracy that Dr. El-Baz talked about preceded the event (January 25), did it coincide with it or did it come after it?
In other words, was the January 25 revolution an event that was heated up and provoked into a revolution within the framework of an elaborate conspiracy that was planned long ago? Or is it a real revolution that provided objective and subjective conditions and matured together to shape what happened during and after January 25?
I think all the evidence that we witnessed in the previous days, and all the testimonies provided by men who lived that stage, whether their testimonies before the Trial of the Century, or the Brotherhood’s intelligence, or the Ittihadiya or other issues, confirm that there was a conspiracy that was planned during ten years that intended to bring Egypt down to its knees, paralyze it and fragment its army in favour of the Greater Israel project and dream.
How far away is the meeting of Darmstadt, that quiet German city that witnessed between the 16th and 18th of August 2013, the most dangerous meeting of a number of representatives of the international intelligence services, led by representatives of the Israeli Mossad, the American National Security Service, the British forces in Cyprus, and the French Ministry of Defence and the NATO operations room, which issued 29 registered reports under the classification of top secret, and was held under the title 'On the Egyptian coup'.
According to the documents, which Egyptian sovereign and friendly bodies were able to obtain and escalated to the highest political leadership in the country at the time, the meeting was studying plans to paralyze Egypt in all respects "after the success of the June 30 revolution and the removal of Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi" through several axes, including keeping the political and economic decision in Egypt in a state of paralysis, delaying or preventing investments and launching a campaign to affect Egypt’s financial reputation, as well as destabilize security in Egypt by pumping weapons from the Negev, Sudan, Libya and Chad. The targets that would be hit are gas pipelines and electrical transformers, the main bridges, and Suez Canal ferries, in order to maintain the state of tension in Egypt. Isn't what is happening now the same plan that was adopted, and then we talk about burials for a history whose events are still being seen?
Mubarak stepping down
Dr. El-Baz's words about leaving Mubarak under compulsion are inaccurate, as the evidence of history is not based on emotions as much as it is based on fact-finding from those who lived those events.
Everyone who spoke on this point specifically, starting with the members of the Military Council, remember the meeting of Major General Al-Assar and Major General Mahmoud Hegazy with Mona Al-Shazly in the early days of the revolution. They said that Mubarak could have resisted and brought the Republican Guard into an unpleasant confrontation with the other army units. Even the testimony of one Republican Guard officer, he said, "Mubarak told him not to interfere, even if citizens entered my bedroom and killed me." Tantawi, Anan and Suleiman said similar things in the Trial of the Century.
These are the facts of history that we must not deny as a generation. This is another issue that has nothing to do with saying whether or not Mubarak was forced to leave power. He confirmed - that is, Lieutenant General Shafiq - that he, Major General Omar Suleiman and Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, were sitting on Friday, February 11, and they asked the question: What next?
Lieutenant-General Shafiq says, I pronounced it with difficulty, I said, one of us should say to the president, "It is time." So Major General Omar Suleiman rose up and said, "I will tell him that the situation is tense." Shafiq: The president's voice on the other side came as a surprise to us. I will delegate the army to run the country, but after making sure that my family arrived safely in Sharm el-Sheikh. Lieutenant-General Shafiq says: Mubarak could have disregarded these words as a supreme leader, and he had supporters in other fields, in reference to Mustafa Mahmoud Square.
Can we, with a clear conscience, say to those who missed the opportunity for the Americans to reach a civil war that would destroy everything in Egypt, that he was forced to leave?
The resolution of the issue of forcing Mubarak to leave power, in Dr. El-Baz's article, is no less important than the issue of trying to spill the blood of the 'martyrs of the revolution' after all these evidences that were presented, whether inside or outside the court, and after these peremptory rulings prove and signify the innocence of the original perpetrators of the accused officers with the murders, to the extent that judges publicly apologized to them because they were made as a scapegoat for street demagoguery, and after revealing all the evidence that proves the efforts of the Americans and their allies from the Brotherhood and the April 6th and those who wrapped themselves around them, to kneel and tear the Egyptian state, starting with the police apparatus.
The conspiracy that was plotted against Egypt, its details are still visible on the ground, and its men are still scattered, waiting for the moment to turn against the corpse of the homeland, not the corpse of Mubarak.
We will move ahead with this talk next week, with the will of God.
