Servant of the band of thieves attacks UN mission
By Abdullah Alkabir, political writer and commentator The briefing of the UN envoy to Libya, Ms. Hannah Tetteh, did not appeal to the thieves in their fiefdom in Cyrenaica. UNSMIL's accusation that some "political figures" were inciting against the mission and encouraging mobs to commit illegal acts was not sufficient insinuation to identify the person directly accused in this respect. In her briefing to the UN Security Council, the UN envoy praised the discipline of government forces in the face of the Tripoli demonstrations. However, she expressed concern over the budget that the band of thieves wanted to pass to the treasury official of the General Command of thieves. She stated that it would undermine the efforts of the Central Bank to stabilize the exchange rate and address inflation. The person to whom insinuations were made, imagined that he was really head of a government with a stake in the political movement, then issued a statement criticizing the mission and holding it responsible for the worsening crisis. He accused it of failing to achieve any real progress for more than a decade, and of contributing, intentionally or unintentionally, to the escalation of the crisis. He described the attack by some mobs on the UNSMIL's headquarters as a natural expression of popular discontent. The delusional person's talk of popular discontent is laughable—in fact, it is so absurd it knocks you off your feet. The delusional person's talk about popular discontent, as if he doesn't know that the law, within the sphere of his delusional jurisdiction, shackles the discontented with chains, locks and throws them into a doghouse. Or it tortures them to death, and yet the obituary announces their suicide. Or women; members of their family are detained to force them to surrender themselves to the murderers. Yet, in the evening, their sheikh prostrates in prayer of thanks, thanking Allah for the safety of their girls. How can you encourage popular protest and cast it as evidence of growing discontent, while you forbid it and consider it a heinous crime, deserving its perpetrators of chains and locks, the arrest of their girls, and a fall from a balcony?! And so on, of other peculiar stories of so-called artificial intelligence! The delusional person exploited the climate of freedom of expression and the situation in Tripoli, paying a clumsy boy to hire a few dozen thugs and push them toward the UN mission headquarters in Tripoli. With all impudence, the delusional person considered the protests a natural expression of popular anger, holding the mission responsible for the failure to resolve the Libyan crisis. The delusional man ignored the people's will and their calls for comprehensive change, sweeping away all criminal gangs across the country, especially the gang he imagines he heads. He has never even cast a sheer doubt that the systematic and deliberate mischief being perpetrated by the head of the House of Servants [House of Representatives], loyal to the ruling gang in the Cyrenaica fiefdom, was the catastrophe that had ruined the country. The delusional man was unaware that the ruler of his fiefdom had plunged the country into civil wars, oppressed the people, brought in mercenaries, and smuggled oil. He could not have committed all these heinous crimes without the aid of delusional people like him. The delusional is raging with anger at the mission's intervention to halt a major banditry operation under the banner of reconstruction. The delusional man has forgotten that the country's economic situation could not tolerate further devastation, and that those for whom the illusion of reconstruction is being marketed, were no longer able to provide a living for their children. The mind of a person who is immersed in his delusions fails to perceive the clear truths, because delusion only leads to more delusion. Objectivity and fairness completely disappear from the mind of the person who is delusional, because he does not think through the data of reality and its developments, but through his delusions. Like all those who are immersed in their delusions, the person who is delusional does not return to his senses except with a strong shock that restores the flow of electrical charges in his brain to their natural lines. Calm logic based on solid rules is of no use with the delusional, as long as their mind does not work in accordance with the rules of sound thinking.
