The Assad Regime is Secular, My Foot.

14/4/2017

By Olivia Pierson

Right now in media circulation, a big lie is doing the rounds: that Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria is a secular regime.  This is not true.  The same lie was told about Saddam Hussein’s regime before he was overthrown from power in Iraq.  Even some light surface reading on Saddam's Return to Faith Campaign will dispel that porky. 

In the last week or so, I have heard this lie coming from the lips of many media outlets and political commentators who should know better, like Nigel Farage, Ann Coulter, Paul Joseph Watson and Katie Hopkins (I deeply respect these four great people, but they happen to be wrong on this one).  

Apart from the fact that Assad has filled his administration only with Alawites (a sect of Shia Islam), the Syrian regime is a Baathist regime, as was the Iraqi administration under Saddam.  The Baath Party is a form of Arab nationalism, conceived as an anti colonialist, socialist movement for Arabs which liked to advertise itself as secular and borrow ideas from the Enlightenment such as ‘truth’ and freedom of speech. It emphasises ‘truth’ as interpreted by the scholarship of Islam, not truth interpreted by the scholarship of scientific thought as the European Enlightenment emphasised.  There was no freedom of speech under Saddam’s brutal police state neither does it exist in Assad’s Syria.  So much for the Arabs making claims on the Enlightenment - the truth is the Arab world has never had one and that is why it’s such a sectarian mess.

If Syria is so secular someone might like to explain why there are no Jews living there?
We know Jews were heavily persecuted under Bashar al-Assad’s Baathist father, Hafez al-Assad. They were even forbidden to leave Syria for Israel.  During the 1990s the small Jewish population left in Damascus were under heavy state surveillance by Assad’s secret police in their homes, their schools and their synagogues.  Does that sound like a secular family dynasty to you?

It has never been a secret that Bashar al-Assad sponsors Islamic terrorism, not only of the Shi’ite variety like Hezbollah, Hamas, Fatah and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, but also Sunni terrorism which has now mutated into ISIS.  He allowed Al Qaeda terror training camps to operate in Syria, in order to ensure that terrorists kept pouring across the border into Iraq to fight the Multinational Forces led by the United States.  This is widely known.  

But what is not as widely known in mainstream media circles is that according to former Alawite members of Syria's Military Intelligence, Assad opened the doors of his slaughterhouse, Saydnaya prison, to allow the most radically murderous Al Qaeda terrorists and ex-Iraqi Baathists to be released and abetted because he thought the Multinational Forces might eventually come for him too.  In 2011 he let these savages out fully knowing they would ravage, rape and butcher their way through Syrian towns so that he could look like the strongman standing between peace or extreme terrorism in his own country.  This risk to his regime was one he was willing to live with as a calculated distraction from the original peaceful protesters crying out for democracy and gaining world attention.  At first this ruse worked, now it has backfired.

Since when did a so called ‘secular’ butcher have any more credence in Western eyes than a sectarian butcher?  Why are commentators clinging to this false detail and promulgating it?
I know the answer to that - it is because they think it adds weight to making the case for non- intervention in Syria’s civil war.  Take a look at this staggeringly complex list of militias and armed groups currently fighting in Syria as I write:

List of armed groups in the Syrian civil war...

How could anyone look at this list and say with a straight face that Assad’s Syria has operated as a secular regime?!

I understand the rational apprehension people have toward the idea of a Western intervention in Syria’s ghastly war.  President Trump gained so much support for his ‘no foreign entanglements’ rhetoric, while he was also talking on the campaign trail about building “safe zones” in Syria - that was a dual minded proposition right there.  But since his strike last week on a Syrian airbase over Assad’s disgusting use of chemical weapons (again) on his own defenseless civilians it is clear to me that the language coming out of the President’s administration is beginning to sound as though regime change may be on the cards in their minds.  Nicky Haley, along with Rex Tillerson,  are making the case that there cannot be a stable Syria with Assad at the helm, and I think that is obvious.

If this is so, the yuuuuuuuge problematic question on everyone’s lips will be if not Assad, who would fill the power vacuum? 

Assad is obviously an evil and incompetent leader - just look at the gutted ruins of half his country and the refugee crisis it has unleashed into the Western world.  So much for a “strongman” who holds these problems at bay from impacting the West.

What seems to not exist in anyone’s vision for a new Syria is some sort of model to act upon.  Iraq is the closest thing we have as an example of a way to deal with Assad, but the cost of Iraq has been terrible. However, what made the situation in Iraq infinitely worse than it had to be was after a decade of war, President Obama got handed a victory there, the result of General Petraeus’ surge. Obama turned that hard-won victory into a defeat by blazingly sign-posting U.S troop withdrawal and failing to negotiate a decent Status of Forces Agreement.  The result was ISIS, with the U.S Forces having to go back in to retrain Iraqi Security Forces and help clean up once more.  This was a disaster Obama could and should have avoided had he but once listened to the counsel of President Bush.  But there it is, being only a Social Justice Warrior President, he was stupendously out of his depth as an effective, real world Commander in Chief.   

It is worth noting that the regimes sympathetic to totalitarianism, Iran, North Korea, China and Russia are all involved with supporting armaments to the Assad regime. It looks as though the Trump administration is about to act militarily in North Korea, or at least push China to.

Before I end this post, I will remind people that U.S intervention has at times been extraordinarily successful. The reason that the once imperialist, murderous Japanese regime of Hirohito and Tojo is now a wealthy, peaceful democratic country is because of U.S intervention and a relatively short occupation. The reason that South Korea does not look anything like totalitarian North Korea is because of a U.S military intervention.  In the case of Japan it was total defeat and unconditional surrender thanks to the atomic bomb.  When I look at Assad’s Syria he has consciously driven his country into the ground resulting in a spectacularly failed nation, if not a rogue nation propped up by dubious countries like Iran and Russia.

If anti-interventionists want to make the case for leaving the Middle East well alone to destroy itself (and keep from impacting the West), without the meddling of NATO nations, then fine, now is the time to clearly make that case. But please spare us from the silly myth that the case is greatly fortified by the fictional notion of Assad being a secularist strongman who is keeping terrorism in check.

​That is pure camel dung.

Reading your comments on everything fills me with hope and joy. You are what I believed would be Objectivist "woman" when I first discovered Rand. Maybe in NZ life is different but in the USA Objectivist "woman" is a nightmare that rivals the constipated, omnipotent male creatures a la Brook. Lurking over the shadow of Dominique

However, I must take you to task for using the word pussy in a derogatory manner. Miss Puss generally outperforms Mr. Penis in some of the great contests of life. Who can match Rand -- Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck, Margaret Thatcher and Michelle Bachelet? And you? Can any of those sad characters on Passion compete with you and your precious jewel?

Well..... Thatcher would be close. :-)
Objectivists seem to have no sense of life. Definitely no taste in "culture". It's as though the Enlightenment meant nothing to them on the whole. All they care about are Free Markets, Free Markets and Free Markets.

I used the other women as great examples of individuals possessing a vagina not as competition for Rand who was sui generis. To that list I would add Ivanka and Ann Coulter, two outstanding "pussies" few men could match.

The great tragedy of organized Objectivism is the lack of attributes generally found in females: nurturing, intuition and a heart-driven sympathy. As you say the sense of life of Rand's novels is lacking. But then org-Obj. has degraded to a horror show. To paraphrase your previous description and to use blatant street language, Objectivism is dominated by a bunch of "selfish pricks."

Yes, the lack of desire for family is not just a feature of many Obj women, but also the men. It's peculiar considering what benefits and rewards in a selfish sense come from having and raising a clan. The friendship of one's adult children is worth the effort alone.

In Rand's case, her accomplishments and goals were very high, I can understand why she bowed out of motherhood considering how consuming it is for many a year, but so very many Objs don't have anywhere near the ambition Rand did, yet family life is still bypassed. It strikes me as a bit sad.

You remind me of my feisty and gutsy daughter Doreen and for that I am grateful. Ironically, as a young gal she would refer to certain men as "pussies" also, and I would always urge her to use better language, usually to no avail.

As a departing word, I would urge you to urge Lindsay to cut Bandler loose. His rage at the world is exploding and this could he dangerous. He is totally self-contained in his rage and to me this signals heavy drug and alcohol use to sustain his loneliness. Chanakya seems like a young, budding intellectual coming into his own, but no match for Bandler's rage. Being hetero, alone and without hope in his forties is no joke. Bandler could go mad dog.

I have seen this a thousand times. What do you have to gain from a dungeon-world personality like his?

Take no chances. You have a nice group. Why endure an accident waiting to happen?

God bless you and your family.

... if only we could just shower it off, I wish. Clearly you don't understand the nature of filth very well. Only in a postmodern culture would it be so pandered to. Lindsay is right to call it out, again and again and again. The world would be a better place if more people were as persistent.

You shock me! Did Rand refer to people as filth? Why are millions attracted to her vision of an uplifted world?

Reply
Olivia
20/5/2017 10:24:27 pm

Rand often referred to people as "evil" and "savages" - to say nothing of her essay on "the Drooling Beast."

Not to mention......

"I am not willing to surrender the world to the jerky contortions of self-inducedly brainless bodies with empty eye sockets who perform in stinking basements the immemorial rituals of staving off terror, which are a dime a dozen in any jungle—and to the quavering witch doctors who call it 'art.'" Ayn Rand.

Seems Lindsay is on the right track.

Also, as an aside, I wouldn't not do or say something just because Rand didn't do or say it. That kind of thinking smacks of Objectivist Cult speak and I reject it utterly.

yes, Rand went off the rails at times but her main thrust was a powerful, positive vision of a new world and a New Intellectual: ideas. Lindsay centers on the negative behavior of others making himself angry over behavior he has no control over. Criticizing others is not a winning strategy.

My sense is you think I am a hostile player. The reality is I love Lindsay defects and all. The filth game plan does him wrong.

Olivia

Martin, Lindsay is a very dear friend of mine, so like all great values in my life I will defend him to my last breath.
He is hilarious, sharply witted, big hearted, immensely perceptive and possesses a soaring intelligence and strong uncanny intuition. He is also the person I can bawl my eyes out with when struck by beautiful music - do you know how rare that is in this life? The man I could go to when my children were younger and ask for a temporary loan because I was struggling to make rent that week during the recession. (For my pride's sake, I will say that only ever happened once, but he was the one who wouldn't take 'no thanks' for an answer.) There is nothing you can say about him that I have not already heard from others, and it bores me. To me he is a stand up human being whom, if you had him in your life, you would love to bits if you deserved it. I LOVE that he calls filth filth! That's why I posted his piece here (which you didn't comment underneath, you chose the wrong post - on bloody Assad - never mind). When you have high standards in life in culture, art, speech, mindfulness and good human conduct, calling filth out and having the guts to do so is pure gold in my book. We should feel anger toward the filth. There is nothing wrong with anger, it is just an emotion - I'm not sure why it gets such a bad rap. Lindsay's life is full of his values, as much as that depends on him. If you ever bothered to read his book on Mario Lanza, The One Tenor, his pride and joy, you would not recognise your comments here. Trust me, he knows more than most human beings alive today, how to value what is valuable. I won't hear a word spoken against him, let alone the stuff he happens to be right about.

It's called being a Friend. Got it?

Olivia said about Lindsay: "He is hilarious, sharply witted, big hearted, immensely perceptive and possesses a soaring intelligence and strong uncanny intuition."

well said. Surely a child of Rand's noble vision. However, like almost all Objectivists you and Lindsay disdain critical comments, hence making dialogue impossible. And thus the great vision falls by the wayside.

Oh come now, you did not offer any "dialogue" - what interests you is snark & criticism. This silly habit among many Obj website trolls to pretend to offer some sort of compliment, while simultaneously cutting down another's efforts, then they protest they just want to discuss "ideas."

Now I can see why Lindsay annoys you so much, he is your better and you are highly conscious of it.

I came to know Lindsay through Chris Sciabarra who at that time was a great fan of Lindsay. The homosexual book was making the rounds and it served as a lifesaver for me. Lindsay was the first to speak up for gay Objectivists who were treated with contempt at that time.

Lindsay became a hero to me. I worshipped him. Through him I saw a way to follow Rand although her concept of men was very strange and scary.

Lindsay was heroic. And now I see a different Lindsay. If you don't like my views too bad but a lot of intelligent people think the same way.

There is no reason for your abusive comments. I thought you were a rational player and wanted for personal reasons to express my feelings. It's not the first time I have been wrong!

Am I a troll? Then why reply to me?

You assume a great deal without grounding. You are rude and abusive, and there is no need for it.

Lindsay is all the things you say. I have read his books and I think the world of him. At one time I thought he was the great hope of the Objectivist world.

How would you know what I think or feel for him?

Lindsay has not changed, I assure you.
Why not drop him a line and discuss the things you want to express with him personally? He is always easily contactable and willing to engage, so long as you don't open the discussion with an insult, as you did here. ;-)

Since this has gone way off topic into a Lindsay Perigo referendum, I'd like to chime in my support both for virtually all his positions (I haven't read them all) and for the style he uses to express them. His Make Objectivism Great Again letter was one the best things I've read in years. They really are filth. They really have distorted Objectivism. One should be passionate about this. (I'd compliment him on SOLO, but they won't let me on....)
