For some reason, that shouldn’t come as a surprise, all governments at all times in history have made certain kinds of criticism illegal. This is especially the case in times of crisis…but always and everywhere and at all times, sedition has been illegal. The United States makes it illegal as did Iraq as will now Kurdistan. You may think that you were just “ expressing your rights”…that you just wanted the world to know “the truth” about your “suffering” under an “unjust regime”…but to the government concerned, that’s a crime for which you can most definitely be punished and no one anywhere will think you were persecuted.

These forums of ours are under no strain whatsoever, are engaged in no war or fighting for their daily bread etc., and yet look at the way they behave…I can’t write freely on them (or at all) even if , like Johnny in Kurdistan, I say that I am merely “expressing my rights”...or want to tell “the truth”. No way…that’s as good as committing sedition on their forums…for which they feel they must do away with you…a government will jail you, our forums will ban and delete you, but it’s the same thing, it’s a violation of what each feels is required to maintain themselves in power, unchallenged and undisturbed and unembarrassed… and yet what possible stress is bethsuryoyo or Maggie under that they need to take such drastic action? And if they feel justified then why can’t Kurdistan feel equally justified in jailing Johnny Khoshaba for “merely telling the truth”? They ban us because “people complain that you are impolite”…or, “they don’t like your views”…excuse me??? That’s enough? Not being “popular” will get you thrown out of Assyria but Kurdistan MUST allow every freedom of expression, no matter how unpopular it is with THEM, to Johnny Khoshaba and anyone else who wants to say whatever he feels like….in the Mideast, NOW, in a time of war and extreme crisis? Do these people really not see how ridiculous they are?

We made this same blunder in the years after the end of the First World War…a time when Iraq was trying to form a stable government, having just emerged from a war and soon to have the British illegally occupying their country. It was not a time to disrupt, to make personal demands, to think you had the government at a disadvantage and therefore could coerce or extort special treatment or concessions. The Assyrian refugees from Hakkari and Urmia, welcomed to Iraq by the Iraqi government, saw themselves as protégés of the British and thought to force the Iraqi government into granting them their wishes or else the British would intervene on behalf of their “smallest ally”. It took our dummies some time to realize that this was not the case…that we were on our own as citizens of Iraq and would have to take responsibility for our own actions.

Repeatedly government ministers begged the Marshimun not to embarrass the government at such a delicate stage…that there were countless problems facing them having to do with the entire country, all the disparate people in it, new borders etc and that this was not the time to attempt to force them to honor British “promises”, which carried no obligation on the part of the government of Iraq at all. The Brits had no business promising anyone land in Iraq, certainly not Christian refugees seeking asylum. Our people saw in this unsettled time a “golden opportunity”, something they seem to seize upon whenever the government under which they live has its back against a wall…as they did with the war against Iraq…from such disruption they believe they see the best time and golden opportunity to get what they want…on the contrary, it is the worst possible time to exert such pressure on behalf of a numerical minority…when the entire country is fighting for its life.

And they’re doing it again in Kurdistan. Iraq, Kurdistan and soon maybe Iran, are in a state of siege and have been for 17 years. The military and police in Iraq have been replaced by a colonial police force loyal to those attacking the country, foreign soldiers as well as thousands of mercenaries roam the country at will killing anyone they want to…medical services are nonexistent, infrastructure is gone…there are no jobs, no education no hospitals, people are hanging on from day to day not knowing what to expect…who might attack them next and when or from where…and now Turkey is getting involved militarily so that the pressure and disruption and paranoia is as extreme as it can be…I mean, what ELSE has to happen before chaos is complete?

And at THIS time we pipe up about our “indigenous rights”? THIS is the best time to have our demands met??? And if not then we’re going to add pressure to the already harassed government?

Contrary to the vulture-like instincts of our nationalists this is NOT the time to seek “golden opportunities”..it is NOT the time to call the world’s attention to the “criminal Kurds”…or, if they think it is, the Kurds most definitely do not. This is a time when the Kurdish government is particularly vulnerable and sensitive to how it’s perceived in the world and how well it can manage its internal affairs…for our people, who notoriously can’t handle a party in America, to be haranguing and harassing and demanding concessions or “rights” or anything from the Kurds, rather than putting their shoulder to the wheel, which is their only real alternative..will simply bring the lawful wrath of the government down upon their heads…as Saddam landed on their heads in the 70s, as the United States landed on Native Americans also in the 70s… for the same reason Iraq landed our heads in 1933 and will again once these foreigners leave.

It’s called SEDITION and/or TREASON. It’s no shock…no surprise. There is nothing strange or weird or out of the ordinary that the world must HEAR and DO something about. In times of turmoil any government expects its citizens to work for the common good…if the ship you’re traveling on is taking water in mid-ocean, it isn’t the time to argue about your second-class cabin or where you’re seated in the dining room…it’s time to pitch in and bail water…what good will your cabin do you underwater? And for us to refuse to bail water at such a time will never prove to our advantage…if the rest manage to save the ship. On the contrary, things will only get worse for us, as they have since this war of deadly lies began….stay tuned.
