I've known Narsai now for over twenty years...and he is no saint. I have never been angrier at anyone in my life and NOT strangled him...and he has gone hoarse many a time yelling at me. And yet we know that deep down we are working for the same thing...we allow each other what the other needs to satisfy his personal style and keep a sharp look out on one another to make sure the bullshit doesn't get too deep.
I would never protect Narsai...he hardly needs it. I was incensed not at what Francis did in making up this slander, or even that he has done this before because he is as jealous as a man can be and still have two nuts. What got to me was that he was so confident that if he claimed to have had his lie confirmed...the rest of us dumb clucks would just take his word for it. I KNEW he was lying because I know Narsai...and I know HIM, he has unfortunately married into my family.
But it wasn't personal...I like Janey Golani a lot, yet I am going to call her to the stand and crucify her on her own words...even though I like and respect her...this is BUSINESS...you make these kinds of attacks against us, against our Heritage, against the first faint signs we make of stirring with a new found desire to live and expand...and you do it simply because you want to remain the big shot you thought you were, or should be, or for any reason...and you will have me and hopefully many more, hot on your tail.
Francis Sarguis is a liar and if Narsai cared to he could sue his ass for creating this lie and just to watch Francis, a lawyer himself, squirm on the stand where his smooth ejicated ways would fool no one...would be a treat. But he wont do it because he doesn't want to drag AAS further into this kind of muck.
This Heritage needs really dedicated new people, and maybe many of them younger people, who will take a fresh look at what needs to be done..and the first thing that needs to be done is clear the boards of these kinds of former Assyrian patrots and asperts and hysterians for they will labor at nothing so hard as maintaining their status quo...the miserable slum they have made of the Palace that Ashur built for his people.
