\u00a0\u201cAD\u0130L\u201d MEANS \u201cJUST\u201d IN ARABIC<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0My wife\u2019s uncle, Adil, was shot and killed in cold blood in a Damascus street. He had no blackmail money. He was poor. So he was shot. He was shot by killers financed and organized by the USA and Turkey, in particular by Barack Obama and Turkey\u2019s prime minister and prime collaborator, and their equally murderous emissaries, agents, and covert collaborators, along with their overt collaborators like the Turkish and American armed forces and the CIA. \u00a0I hold both so-called leaders responsible for this murder as I hold all their criminal henchmen and henchwomen. \u00a0Last year there was no more peaceful border in the world than that between Turkey and Syria. Then David Petraeus and Hillary Clinton came to Turkey. They met the Turkish prime minister, the president, the foreign minister and others exactly like\u00a0them. And thereafter all hell followed. \u00a0Peace! they cried. Democracy! Freedom, they yelled! And Syria and Assad suddenly became the hated ones. People! \u00a0This is an old American game. But there is more. Much more.<\/p>\n

I hold all those Americans and all those Turks, both Americanized or Turkified, all of them I hold responsible. \u00a0You cannot escape this death, this murder, committed under the pretense of fighting for freedom. \u00a0To the extent that you all fill the air, Facebook and otherwise, \u00a0with the magnificence of your vacations to exotic places, your shared recipes, your automobiles, your tastes in music, the wondrous feats of your children, the thrilling pictures of beloved household pets, your dashing profiles, your adored restaurants, your beloved sports idols, singers, actors, actresses, celebrities and other household plants\u2026to the extent that this is all you have to offer this bleeding world, then you too are responsible.<\/p>\n

Adil went to work four days ago. Adil, a\u00a0 name meaning \u201cjust\u201d in Arabic, a simple, honest man went to work four days ago and met freedom full in the face, \u00a0American and Turkish style. And now his family knows what happened. \u00a0In their grief they speak of \u201ckadar\u201d and \u201ckismet\u201d and other words meaning fate. But it was not his fate to die in the street. It was his misfortune to meet gunmen hired by America and Turkey and us. It was his misfortune to be born under a star that would allow this American president and this Turkish prime minister to pollute Adil\u2019s world with their violence. People! \u00a0Adil was one of us, an innocent caught in a disgusting political game that we enable.<\/p>\n

Know that the bullets that killed Adil were financed by all of us. Without the taxpayers of Turkey and America these gangsters in political garb would not exist. They only have power to the extent that stupid people like us fund them. Yes, people, we are financing terrorist states. So tell someone! Tell the world! Speak out! March! Adil died because he, like many of you, went to work one morning. \u00a0And now, his family knows that he will never come back. Four days he was lost. His brothers searched. They found him among the piles of corpses in a hospital morgue. And now his family knows. \u00a0But what do we know? Anything?<\/p>\n
