When nobles partner with enemies of the state

Intentions lie in the heart or the mind; they cannot be detected until after the consequences of actions resulting from those intentions.

Before reaching the results, we cannot distinguish between nobles and enemies; they all ride the wave until it arrives at the shore of objectives, which vary according to loyalty to the country. Nobles don’t seek power, but they rush to save their country whenever it needs saving.

Intruders seek to take control of the country by taking control of the simple good-hearted people, deceiving them under the slogans of patriotism. In this case, the initial actions are similar but differences occur when reaching the stage of reaping benefits. You find the nobles trying to fix what was corrupted and then return without asking for anything. On the other hand, we see others fighting for power and authority, leaving behind a group among the simple good-hearted people, so they wouldn’t notice deception.

Nobles do not ask for the lead role for their sacrifices, while others selfishly request it with without a drop of sweat that proves their entitlement to the lead role as they call it.

Nobles always find their sacrifices small compared to saving their country, while intruders travel the world stating that they have saved the country which was about to fall, claiming a history of struggle.

That is how it is, intruders feeding on the sacrifices of heroes. Heroes are never in the end scene, as they disappear after achieving their goals. Since these goals are the same as goals of the intruders, the latter keeps sucking the blood of the country until they either control the country or ruin it.

Why was this long introduction necessary? Everyone knows the characteristics of each group, but they cannot distinguish between them. They are deceived by their sweet talk, and cannot see the evil behind the smiling faces. The Egyptian scene is full of those interactions that give rise to despair, and sometimes disgust.

Those who believe that the nation is in danger try to save it, or oppose acts that expose it to risks without knowing. They are now fighting on the same line with those who wisj to eliminate the Egyptian entity, but they pay the price, while the other camp receives the benefits under the pretext of saving the country.

Going back four years in history, with the start of the 25 January Revolution, to review previous and subsequent scenes, we will find that our revolution was white, clear of any blood and confrontations. A peaceful anger that called for a new Egypt. A revolution that began with pure-hearted youth who wanted the best for their fellow countrymen – even if they paid their lives as a price.

Does anyone know of the hero who stood alone before an armoured vehicle? The scene of him standing alone circulated the world, behind him lines of protesters who could not follow suit. He is an example to many of those who sacrificed and left in silence, as soon as they felt their homeland returning back to them.

Some of them are still alive, while others were martyred for the sake of freedom. They have families, and if they wanted to be heroes, they could have been so and the people would have supported them. Those are the real nobles. They wanted nothing but the prosperity of their country.

Many did the same. They became the opposition, and found another camp feeding on their ideas and pushing them towards a bloody confrontation with the regime. But when they reachws their destinations, this other camp fled, leaving the honest to pay the price. When they failed, they left them naked, facing an angry regime that struck at everyone, no matter what their intentions were.

The country is suffering many problems, a problem of freedom, another of ethics, and even that of basic trust. This calls for a strong opposition, led by wise and rational nobles only. An opposition that is not disturbed by the past. One that is not driven by the remnants of the regime, or advised by the Brothers, or even accompanied by those who betrayed both. An opposition that can talk to the regime with wisdom, vision, and plans that can be used if it wishes to join the nobles – even if the ruler wanted no opposition.

The answer, ladies and gentlemen, should be Egypt and nothing else. Egypt is the strongest, the greatest, the lasting beyond individuals, people, nobles, and mercenaries. The answer should not be fraught with those who exploit the ideas and motivation of the nobles. The answer must also carry a plan to take advantage of the enormous power inherent in the hearts and minds of young Egyptians, to direct it towards what is best for the country. The answer must always and forever be Egypt.
