what would be the reaction if i announced, through various social media, that i saw an elephant flying during the hours of curfew? often no one will believe my words, because elephants do not fly. what if i sent a second message, in which i cried heartburn, and asked the minister of information to send the television crew to photograph the phenomenon?
here too, no one will pay attention. but if i repeat the messages and cry more often, a sane man and a former speaker of parliament will believe my story, and ask, for the first time in years, a government minister to intervene, because he believed that an elephant could fly!
the tragedy does not stop here, but rather gives in to the response of the minister of information to the request of the former speaker and assign a high-level television crew, in these extremely difficult circumstances in which we live, to obtain curfew passes for them to visit the zoo and photograph a ‘miracle’.
this is not a fictional novel, but rather an honest depiction of what happened days ago, when a female spiritual and herbal healer, in her books “treating marital disputes with plants, and the book of treating witchcraft and envy with plants” (!!) announced, and she found the treatment for corona and requested to see the minister of health.
in the midst of all this suffering that we are living and the huge responsibilities that lie ahead, his excellency the minister accepted the request and assigned a team, including one or more doctors to meet her, and those attending the meeting came out with a smile and declared the medicine, or a vaccine has been found (so lightly) and production will start soon.
i don’t know how senior statesmen and officials believed that someone who has never attended faculty of medicine in her entire life can ‘make’ medicine for a disease that all laboratories of the world – germany, russia, china, japan, america, france, britain, and others have failed to make? how does a minister of health with the level of understanding, the icon of the government, waste his time arranging interviews and meetings, delivering and receiving files of medicine invention to cure corona, and posing for the camera with a big smile on the face?
one of the governors announced a prize for those who teach his mule how to read, and whoever fails will be beheaded.
a number of idiots ventured to do the job but lost their heads, and after a while, juha went to the governor and offered to teach the donkey to read, provided he received the prize money in advance and the governor gave him five years because the task is difficult. juha he went out dragging the mule behind him as the people laughed at his stupidity. during the five-year period, either the judge will die, so my neck will not be cut, or i will die, or the mule will die.
ratification of such a claim and dozens of other similar allegations, such as the collapse of the situation in italy, the death of millions in china, and corona is the lord’s punishment for the infidels, indicates the level of thinking in our societies, even from the elite.
i confess that i was saddened by the approval of a respected minister, and a well-known doctor, who everyone respected, to bow to pressure, whatever its source and waste his time and the time of the ministry in such matters, after all his brilliant accomplishments?
we do not seem to have learned anything from the previous bitter lessons, or we will learn anything from the current bitter lesson, and i hope i am wrong.
note: this claimant could have kissed anyone with a corona and then treated herself, to applaud her 8 billion people at once and become the richest woman in the world.
your excellency the minister of information: for your information, kuwait tv has refused a request to interview me, as head of a charity, other than in my capacity as a journalist and novelist. but the ktv has opened the door several times at the same time to jugglers, prosecutors, and fraudsters.
