The strongest weapon you possess, and will never possess its like for the rest of your life, and there is no weapon stronger or better than it that has appeared on the face of the earth throughout history.. is your mind.

Despite that observation, which I do not think anyone would like to argue about; one morning.. specifically between the years 2011 - 2012; we all woke up to something strange.

Security men suddenly became called a "militia".. and the armed militia, which we do not know where it came from, became called an "army".. a "free army".. as if it were a charity for hobbyists who raise silkworms.. anyone can gather a few people and form one together.. and we recognise it as normal.

Someone breaks a prison and smuggles out those inside it.. who are of course not musicians, astronauts and philosophy professors.. but a bunch of powder dealers, murderers, child kidnappers and rapists.. and the one who smuggles them out is a "hero" who "loves the country and fears for it...!"

And then we saw someone storm a police station, steal weapons, open fire on security men and burn an armoured vehicle with everyone inside it, while chanting "peaceful"..!

Peaceful? Has some new vocabulary come down.. or have the definitions of words suddenly changed?

We had barely recovered from the shock when the flag of the Egyptian state was trampled underfoot and in its place was raised the flag of the Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda and pictures of bin Laden.. and suddenly we found that democracy means that someone is rude to you.. and if you object he throws a Molotov cocktail at you.. and that the officer defending the police station is a thug.. and that the one trying to burn the station is a "peaceful revolutionary"...

There is an incomprehensible malfunction.. how were the minds of these people penetrated and the concepts mixed up in them to this degree?

The truth is that the war of minds against us began long before 2011. From the day we called Mullah Omar's terrorist battalions, while they were destroying Afghanistan, the "mujahideen".

From the day we allowed the British spy (Hassan al-Banna) to be called (the martyred Imam Hassan al-Banna).. and the mentally deranged (Sayyid Qutb) to snatch the title of "the living martyr" from the Companion Talha ibn Ubayd Allah.

And the day we allowed a "kiosk" to be rude to Umm Kulthum. And the day we discovered that our clothing is forbidden and our music is forbidden.. as if Islam had come down suddenly in the eighties.

We allowed a lot of things.. but the worst of them was in 2007.. when social media emerged on the scene.. and we ignored it completely.. and the terrorists, their factions and their supporters took it over.

And because the fuel of any revolution.. is the youth.. social media was the most important platform from which a war of minds could be waged against them.

The playing with minds began slowly, slowly.. calmly and quietly.. starting with the posts about the eagle that reaches the age of seventy, "so he takes a difficult decision, smashes his beak and plucks out his feathers", passing through the posts saying "Raya and Sakina were not murderers.. they were heroes".. and ending with the posts: "If the sky rains freedom, the slaves will open their umbrellas".

With all of this, however trivial it may be.. we learned only to receive.. not to ask for evidence.. we just receive poison in the form of a humanitarian post and an elegant piece of information.. that makes us not ask about a source for the information.. we doubted all our established concepts.. we doubted our very own nature.

In short.. the project of transforming the recipient from a human being into a mere donkey began.

And the opponent began implementing his military plan.. yes, "military".. the skill today is not in fighting with your army's forces.. not at all.

The skill is that you do not fight at all.

From afar.. you turn your opponent into a backward, contradictory, ignorant, mindless creature.. and you make yourself a cup of coffee and light a fine cigar, and enjoy watching him destroy himself with his own hands.

And suddenly anonymous accounts appeared on social media.. a person with no understandable name and no picture.. "the true revolutionary".. "a revolutionary but".. with a picture of Guevara.. sitting and arguing with you about nonsense regarding "the French Revolution that succeeded" and about the persecution of the Brotherhood and the injustice of governments towards them.. and about the ruler who oppresses Islam.

A person whose name you do not know and whose picture you cannot see.. can you guarantee he is not an account from a hostile state? Of course not. But minds had weakened.. and surrendered.

And suddenly they went and made us a new event.. "We are all Khaled Said".. as if he were an innocent young man who met his death in a police station.. and when you ask "why Khaled Said in particular" no one answers you.. according to what you say, do you not have thousands of wronged people like him? Why did you choose him?

There is no answer.. because in truth there is no answer other than that "zero hour has come".. and we must hold on to someone.. anyone we can make a fighter against injustice and turn into a symbol.

After he gradually dismantled the symbols deep inside us.. and Abdel Nasser became a thief.. and Umm Kulthum a lesbian.. and Sadat a spy, etc.. he presented you with a new symbol. And the symbol was not the late "Khaled Said" himself.. it was the organiser of the event.. the one who raised the cry against injustice in people's eyes.. the director of Google in the Middle East.. brother "Wael".

Of course, by then you were ready.. to accept this symbol and hero no matter who he was.. if they brought you a carter with a cart, and put him in place of "Wael Ghonim" to play the same role.. you would have demanded him as president of the republic.. believe me.

It is in human nature to always search for a symbol, an icon, a saviour and a deliverer.. notice this even in creeds.. Sunnis are waiting for (the Mahdi).. and Shia are waiting for the Imam hidden in the cellar.. and Christians and Muslims together are waiting for the return of the Messiah.. and Hindus are waiting for the appearance of "Shiva".. and every group awaits the hour of its hero's coming, and prays for the appearance of its deliverer.

At a time when poverty, weakness and misery have taken hold of people.. and they have doubted everything and their concepts have become muddled.. they will accept any hero.

When souls weaken for any reason.. the walls of their minds collapse.. and they become ready to believe anything.. anything in which a glimmer of hope appears. Remember the worst moments of your tension when you read the "horoscopes" page in the newspaper.. and you are very happy if you find something that raises your optimism.. and remember when you go through any crisis how you imagine that every dream is a "vision" that relief is near.

Always notice that most of those who read the coffee cup and have someone read their palm and open the cards for them are usually in a crisis.. because when souls weaken, the walls of their minds collapse and they surrender to any nonsense. And instead of the person in crisis searching for solutions and a way out of his crisis.. he wastes time and literally destroys himself.

Notice the failing student who did not study and left the answer sheet empty.. when he becomes baffled and sits praying and supplicating that God may make him pass.. even though what he is doing is practically nonsense.. against God's laws and His ways on His earth in the first place.. but he is in a state of weakness and terror.. so he has lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

Remember in the last episode.. how "Vasily Zaytsev" with five bullets.. turned into a hero for the Soviet Union.. whose people were frightened and terrified of the Nazis.

And while the state was trying to control the situation.. and calm the street that was boiling under the yoke of a failed, worn-out, corrupt, expired rule.. and a people defeated in the war of minds, whose heads were filled with mistaken concepts that played on the strings of its burning anger.. and while the state was striving in an attempt to address people through the media.. no one was watching it anymore.

A new "deadly" weapon came onto the scene.. and the state knew nothing about it.. its name is "social media".

The mobilisation happens through social media, and people take to the streets based on the call of the supposed "hero"...

Thousands of people who genuinely feel injustice and oppression.. go down to the square.. amid thousands of young people whose brains have been washed.. and who have come to imagine that the Suez Canal's revenue, if distributed among the people for a year, would turn every citizen into a billionaire.. along with the leaders of the scene who exploited the injustice inflicted on all of them.. and came down with their own agenda.

And the Brotherhood had a different hero and a special icon that they did not announce.. and the Salafists likewise.. but they decided to exploit the crowd (for the time being).

The Brotherhood's leaders stand - outwardly - somewhat neutral.. and announce that they are against going out and demonstrating.. while in truth they had given the order to the group's youth to actually go out from the very first moment.. with instructions to escalate.. but they preserved "Muawiya's hair" with the (Mubarak) regime so as to avoid punishment, if it happened that he won and took control of the street.

And the strange thing is that this almost actually happened.

People began to be affected by the emotional speech Mubarak delivered.. along with the package of decisions he took.. from dismissing (Nazif) and his government.. to appointing a vice president.. to suspending the sessions of the People's Assembly and the Shura Council until the appeals were decided.. and promises of a package of reforms whose effects people would feel within six months.

And people almost went back and the squares almost emptied indeed.. but a certain incident happens, which is what confirmed to me at that moment that this was never a spontaneous revolution.. despite the number of ordinary patriotic people who took part in it in good faith.

No.. this is the director of the scene, not those spontaneous wronged people who went down! This scene is run by a hidden entity.. that understands very well what it is doing.. has studied history and is skilled in psychology.

And based on his experiences, and in order to save his plan.. this director of the scene quotes an incident that happened in Russia in 1917, during the Bolshevik Revolution.. and executes it to the letter in Tahrir Square.

And this incident we will talk about later.

And there remains more to say.
