‘Legend of Great Iranian Empire will vanish’
“I CAN only imagine the amount of pressure that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is facing at the moment after apprehending a gang of 99 terrorists affiliated to the Islamic State (IS) or the so-called ‘DAESH’ terrorist group. This gang was planning to carry out terrorist operations throughout the country,” columnist, Dean of the College of Technological Studies at the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training ( PAAET) and the Deputy Chairman of the Islamic Heritage Revival Society (IHRS) wrote for Al-Rai daily.
“Before arresting these gang members, the concerned Saudi authorities arrested the suspects, who were also affiliated to DAESH, for killing two Saudi police officers. All this happened while Saudi Arabia was waging one of its greatest wars in its history against the gang of renegades in Yemen who had illegally, through a coup against the legitimate government, taken over the political power of that country and started persecuting various components of the Yemeni society. They had even started threatening the southern frontiers of Saudi Arabia with Yemen.
“In the light of the above, one may conclude that DAESH represents the other face of the Iranian political power and secret services. This was evident when DAESH, immediately after the Saudi-led coalition launched airstrikes on the Houthis and the locations occupied by Iranian agents in Yemen, started taking rapid action to carry out terrorist operations in Saudi Arabia.
“Regarding Iran, the government was shocked to such an extent that it lost control and started fiercely attacking Saudi Arabia. In fact, the official Iranian newspaper ‘Vatan-e-Emrooz’ published this - The year of 2015 will be the last for the Saudi regime in the region. The stabilized armed organization in Yemen will be ready to access Saudi Arabia’s southern areas. All reports affirm that Saudi Arabia will witness an overwhelming revolution but that is merely their hope.
“The Editor-in-Chief of the official Iranian Mohr News Agency Hassan Hani Zada said, “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia currently represents an overwhelming danger towards the region, much more than the Zionist entity. It has played a saboteur role in the region on behalf of Israel.”
“Nevertheless, the volume of such a scream actually reflects the degree of pain Iran is experiencing. In light of these Iranian statements, one may infer that Iran was working for many years to achieve its dream which mostly revolved around reestablishing the Great Persian Empire. This was apparent from the boastful statements issued by many Iranian officials, indicating that Tehran is currently dominating four Arab capitals.
“From the Iranian perspective, the Saudiled ‘Operation Decisive Storm’ suddenly destroyed its dreams for good. This operation was based on international will, and the biggest Islamic countries had participated or supported it.
“Meanwhile, the recent military triumphs achieved by the Syrian armed revolutionists, which was represented by taking control of many Syrian cities and causing the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad and its militias to incur exorbitant losses had intensely frustrated the Iranians. The Syrian armed revolutionists are currently on their way to Latakia city which is the stronghold for the Syrians. Its prospective downfall in the hands of the opposition is likely to conduce to the downfall of the Syrian ruling regime.
“In fact, such a victory was realized only by virtue of Allah’s help. This development aggravated the Iranian frustration due to which they waged a campaign against Turkey and accused the latter of intervening in the Syrian affairs as though the Iranian intervention in Syria is legal and justified.
“Nevertheless, we expect to hear pleasant news in the forthcoming period which will appease the hearts of the believers and make them realize that the legend of the so-called Great Iranian Empire will vanish. All the mess in the region will be duly rearranged and every party in this part of the world will regain its legitimate rights.
“However, we have to remain alert against the conspiracies that are likely to rise against all countries of the region, particularly Saudi Arabia. We must take all necessary preventive measures that are capable of foiling all the schemes and plots of the foes which were aimed to cause panic and destabilize the region. In the meantime, we should counter the so-called ‘The Fifth Column’ which mostly strives to spread baseless rumors for frustrating the entire nation.”
Also: “Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior recently foiled the attempts of the Islamic State (IS) or the so-called DAESH for carrying out terrorist operations throughout the country through the use of booby-trapped vehicles,” columnist
wrote for Al-Qabas daily. “The concerned security authorities in Saudi Arabia also arrested the suspects who killed two Saudi policemen and discovered that they are terrorists affiliated to DAESH. Machine guns, large sums of money, mobile phones and messages exchanged between the perpetrators were found, as reported by the media.
“Such being the case, I think everyone are now certain that the terrorist organization DAESH is basically created by the Syrian regime. However, this organization voluntarily chose its death when it decided to shift its terrorist activities to Saudi Arabia and kill innocent people in an attempt to divert Saudiled coalition’s attention from its task of purging Yemen from the Houthis and the deposed president Ali Abdullah Saleh as well as their regional supporters.
“I don’t think such an evil attempt of DAESH will pass without penalty that will aim to subvert both DAESH and the Syrian regime simultaneously especially since the despotism of the latter has exceeded that of other dictatorships.
“In other words, it is a matter of time after which the warplanes of the Saudi-led Arab coalition will wage its airstrikes against such corrupt enclaves but after completing its task in Yemen. It is definite that this Arab Coalition has the support of all the Arab and Islamic governments and people.”
“It seems to me that some ministers are working according to Newton’s law which says ‘every action has a reaction’ because they work without a plan and vent their anger at the officials and the miserable ones are those officials who dare so speak the truth,” columnist
wrote for Al-Rai daily.
“In the State of the sisterly Arab Emirates Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has said ‘we gave two years notice for government agencies to implement smart government project, and a promise has been given to the officials who do not achieve the goal a farewell ceremony will be held in their honor at the end of period’.
“Things in Kuwait are different. The Minister of Education addressed his undersecretaries through the newspapers ‘that they are not allowed any vacation in summer and not to make travel plans, forgot that they have their families - wives and children - and that they have the right to travel with their husband and father for holiday.
“I don’t understand what right has been given to him that prevents them from going on holidays especially since during the summer the workload is less.
“We had warned in an earlier article that the education in Kuwait cannot be improved in the presence of such bureaucracy and such routine. It is enough to make a comparison between the output on the private and public sectors.
“By making this remark I don’t mean to privatize the education, but the minister has to privatize the educational zones under the supervision of independent governmental bodies by putting young qualified Kuwaitis in the administrative sector who are waiting for an opportunity to show their abilities.
“They must also be given the full power by having their own budgets, but on condition they establish their plans based on studies and researches taking into consideration the need of the labor market, and then we can say that we have started moving towards an excellent government educational process.”
“The fights in the commercial complexes or in the streets here in Kuwait are no longer exclusive to citizens as we were used to see during every weekend; now we hear foreigners engaged in fights here and there and some end up with death or very serious injuries,” columnist, former MP and General Manager of the Scope Satellite TV Channel,
wrote for Al-Seyassah daily. “This phenomenon has become widespread due lack of respect for the law. This is also because the large number of foreigners in the country and even the authorities has a difficult time monitoring their activities and/or bringing their activities under control.
“The issue has escalated to a point where, some of the areas in Kuwait are almost exclusive for foreigners and they do whatever they want in those areas regardless.
“According to Government figures, the number of residence law violators stands at 100,000, but we know it is more than that or even double that figure and the number continues to increase day by day.
“All we hear from the authorities is about population restructuring programs, but in reality, nothing is being done — the number of foreigners leaving the country is much less than the number of those entering the country.
“The level of crimes committed by foreigners is unspeakable. Brothels continue to be raided by the authorities but as it appears, the crimes continue regardless.
“For instance, a foreigner working in one of the sensitive departments was caught selling Kuwaiti passports. He was put behind bars for seven years, but who knows how many other serious crimes are being committed?”
“In spite of the importance of updating the education curriculum as a philosophical requirement of national welfare, the reality in the field of education in this country has seen political conflicts and interpellations which have done no good,” columnist,
wrote for Al-Jaridah daily. “Distancing education from politics and not oversight is the core of its development, but in reality in Kuwait is completely opposite. We hear voices of dissonance here and there during almost every occasion under the justification that, the curriculum is a redline which cannot be crossed even without taking into consideration the quality, cohesion and accord with the reality of the current world.
“The Ministry of Interior is constantly under parliamentary pressure this is because. The ministry has a lion’s share if you compare it with the other ministries in the country.
“The importance of education in any given country has a special place in the area of development, and that is why, the issue of developing it should be one of the most important priorities of the Parliament due to its direct relationship with the future of the next generation of this country, in addition to being the main partner in the human resources development system.”
“UAE security official Chief Khalfan posted a comment on his Twitter account, which was shared by about 500 Twitter users, in which he said - After reading about the phenomenon of the Iranian watermelon prevalent in the Gulf region, I believe the imported Iranian fruits will cause a health disaster in the Gulf region,” wrote for Al-Seyassah daily.
“An online website recently reported that Twitter users think the Iranian watermelon issue was a backlash to Operation Decisive Storm, aimed to threaten the lives of GCC nationals.
“UAE Municipality confiscated large quantities of Iranian watermelons after receiving several of complaints from consumers about discovering holes in them, which raised doubts that the watermelons were probably injected with insecticides and could negatively affect the health and lives of the consumers. The municipality took samples from these watermelons to examine them and find out the reason why they were pierced. They also warned people against buying any watermelons from the market. Similar problems were also discovered in Qatar and Kuwait from where large quantities of such watermelons were confiscated.
“While I was writing this article, I suddenly remembered the activities during the Iranian revolution, which were linked with the export process. When Iran failed to export its ideology to the Gulf region, it discovered that it was easier to attack the stomachs than the minds by exporting poisonous foods instead of poisonous ideologies to these countries.”
“On Feb 14, 2015, I wrote the following in an article in Al-Qabas daily - I read an expression which was ‘One day, if Yemen’s front will be opened’ in the plan that was drawn up for the Middle East region years ago and was talked about by the former US minister of Foreign Affairs Henry Kissinger. It focused on the process of dividing the region into small countries that would be involved in conflicts based on religions and ethnicities. These conflicts would continue for a decade with the aim of imposing the domination of the Western countries on the region after controlling the oil resources and water channels,” wrote for Al-Qabas daily.
“Regarding the execution of this plan, it was raised by the former US minister of Foreign Affairs Condoleezza Rice during the Republican’s regime, referring to it as ‘Creative Anarchy’, which was eventually realized through the so-called Arab Spring with the support of terrorists groups such as al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and Al-Nusra. According to Kissinger, it marked the start of World War III for benefiting Israel on one hand and keeping the Arab armies occupied in internal wars on the other hand in order to exhaust the wealth of the Arab world by forcing them to buy weapons.
“This explained the non-involvement of the Western countries in wars but continuity in production of weapons to sell to the Arab countries so that the revenues can be used for the development of their nations and the destruction of our infrastructures.
“Chaos is prevalent in nations like Yemen and Iraq now, and perhaps they will soon be joined by Egypt if the only means we use to find solutions to disagreements is wars instead of dialogues and negotiations.”
“In 1961, Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED) was established with a capital of KD50 million. At that time, Kuwait was starting its development process and it eventually became a recognized independent country. Kuwait needed support for protecting itself from the greedy ones because of which it continued to share its wealth with others,” wrote for Aljarida daily.
“KFAED does not pay money for projects to be carried out. It instead takes up the task of carrying out the projects after conducting necessary studies to ensure the profitability of such projects. The returns of such projects have so far increased the capital of KFAED to KD 200 million and this money is used for the benefit of the people of those countries and not the politicians or officials.
“It supported a number of projects in the Arab world and also incurred losses in some projects, especially when a certain minister in a country insists on being bribed in order to approve the execution of the projects.
“Nonetheless, the voices, which continue to complain that we use our wealth to build and develop others instead of using it for developing our country, are not accurate. This is because we suffer from corruption in every domain in our country. We are responsible for preventing developments in the country through economic negligence and excessive spending on unnecessary matters, which are caused by the ‘mafias’ who dominate every state institution.”
