Another Picture worth a Thousand Words

COMMENT: We’ve seen any num­ber of pic­tures of Sunni Islam­o­fas­cists and Shi­ite Islam­o­fas­cists. The pic­ture at the link below shows sup­port­ers of embat­tled Syr­ian leader Bashar Assad pledg­ing to fight for him and his Baathist party.

Sec­u­lar in ori­en­ta­tion, the Baathists nonethe­less draw overtly on fas­cist tra­di­tion. There is no ges­ture in Mus­lim or Arab his­tory or cul­ture resem­bling this all too dis­tinc­tive salute.

For some back­ground on the his­tor­i­cal devel­op­ment of the Arab/fascist con­nec­tion, it is rec­om­mended that lis­ten­ers down­load and read Cairo to Dam­as­cus, avail­able for down­load for free on this website.

Here’s the link to the pic­ture of the pro-Assad rally: http://www.daylife.com/photo/01gl0fggTX7l0

  1. I guess it just goes to show that fas­cists don’t always trust each other, do they? Nice post, Dave. :)

  3. I’ve stopped hunt­ing for the good guys here. Racist ele­ments in Turkey prob­a­bly see EU mem­ber­ship as an obsta­cle in the pur­suit of a Tur­kic speak­ing empire. They are not up to the patient eth­nic pars­ing and finan­cial takeovers that Ger­many prefers. Nato airstrikes are quicker. Turkophiles have their eyes on north­ern Syria and north­ern Iran and points east. An emerg­ing but prob­a­bly unim­por­tant enemy-of-my-enemy alliance is that of Greece and Iran. Mean­while, the peo­ple of the region get to choose between left and right ver­sions of fas­cism. Assad, like Nixon, has to go — he’s a fas­cist but still not hard right enough. He spends too much on bread sub­si­dies that could be bet­ter spent else­where on gold bath­room fixtures.

  4. @Dwight: I don’t see any good guys, either. In fact, if you want my opin­ion, all 3 of these of these coun­tries have gov­ern­ments who are really just sides on the same rot­ten dice.

  5. Allow me Dave, please, to pon­tif­i­cate a lit­tle bit. It is true that a pic­ture is worth a thou­sand words. While surf­ing on the web, I stum­bled upon some pic­tures from the Saint­sa­tions, the New Orleans Saints Cheerleaders.

    In a nut­shell, one has to remem­ber that the French pres­ence in Louisiana is due to the depor­ta­tion of French colonists liv­ing in what is called today Nova Scot­tia, Canada, when the French Crown aban­doned North Amer­ica to the British.

    What is absolutely strik­ing about the­ses cheer­lead­ers is that they wear...a golden lily on their chest! Sym­bol­i­cally, it’s incred­i­ble. The fleur-de-lis is not new on the Saints’ jer­sey appar­ently but to see it like that, on these beau­ti­ful women, hit me like a train. God that it would make me a great army! It is for these women that we have to con­tinue the fight to pro­tect and defend our civ­i­liza­tion. Only free­dom allow women to become so beau­ti­ful, not reli­gion, total­i­tar­i­an­ism or authoritarianism.

    My blog is never men­tioned any­where nor is my name but I have the impres­sion some­times that I have an impact. It made my day any­way and I hope you will enjoy it too.
