Nothing is left for the dictator but his secret box. Overwhelmed by the scare in the presidential palace, and approached by the two or maybe three of his consultants giving him the feeling of safety and usually presenting the universal picture, he must open the box and arm himself to defeat those trapping him once and for all.
Nothing is left for the dictator but his secret box. Overwhelmed by the scare in the presidential palace, and approached by the two or maybe three of his consultants giving him the feeling of safety and usually presenting the universal picture, he must open the box and arm himself to defeat those trapping him once and for all.
There are the state institutions that resisted him from the first day he invaded the state, including the judiciary system; a civil opposition founding itself on the debris of his political stumbles and inability to develop an initiative for transition from authoritarianism to democracy.
Morsi the divine
Morsi is nobody but a one-task delegate from the Society of Muslim Brothers to the presidential palace. He has neither a personal ambition nor a pleasure except serving the society he has, and therefore, in his palace, he is isolated from all but the phantoms created by the few selected people as weaving their conspiracy in the dark to topple him.
In response to these conspiracies, Morsi can do nothing but use his final weapon; thus, stifling all the voices coming into his ear and establishing the frontiers besieging those attempts at suspending his powers.
Since he is scared and nervous, he has over-fortified himself to the extent that he was depicted a god that nobody objected to, his resolutions or approaches of his inviolable self.
The sudden divinization has not even crossed the minds of the strongest oppositionist to Morsi and his society’s governance. The irresponsible use of the box exceeded all theories of insanity and madness caused by power, as well as the society’s lust for the mono-clan.
Morsi issued his declaration after the society called on their audience, thus publically disclosing the fascist tendency on which Hasan Albana founded the first organization to consider the modern state a “block” of the Caliphate State or the sixth corner as extremists have come to call here or there.
This fascist tendency appeared as Morsi felt the danger and went back to the box delivered to people of special tasks throughout the society’s history that terrified those who detected this tendency by awareness or instinct and motivated them to move against the president’s dare to announce his political divinity after two years of breaking the god who maintained his power for more than 30 years. How could an old dictatorship have been rebuilt after a revolution of a blood bill paid by the in order to go out the dictatorship to that of democracy?
Fences in lieu of democracies
Fear gave birth to pharoahs. Generals after 1952 mobilized people in popular demonstrations crying out against democracy fearing that the former regime professionals would come back.
Instead of building democracies, they built fences around the society because they feared being controlled by it, and thus subjected the entire state to this exceptional situation for more than 60 years, as did Morsi in the crisis of the Constitutional Declaration.
Morsi decided to solve the problem of the “Supreme Constitutional Court Decisions” by burning the whole country, instead of dividing society into two separate forces of good and evil; of the believers who call for implementing Sharia and the unbelieving seculars who are the enemies of Islam; or of the majority who goes to ballot boxes to defend them and an elite sinking in their defeats and goals unconcerned with the people. These dualities end by the most disastrous one consisting of the Muslim Brotherhood members and those who are jealous of and malevolent towards them.
Clan governance
It is the clan governance by “going back to Islam”, which has been the implicit discourse of the society since it was established and through its course from an extreme position to moderation. Similarly, destroying attacks on the modern state did not stop.
Worrying about the clan’s position in building the state maintains a special position for the clan. This is exactly what led Morsi to unveil his box without waiting to ally with political forces, being backed by state institutions. He may be staking on his protection of the police and not approaching them, but it is neither certain nor ensured alliance after the rage turned into street war and a division whose parties are the Muslim brotherhood members on one side and the rest of the society on the other.
What threatens of civil violence that Muslim Brotherhood members have always thought they are able to settle it for their favor while they cannot endure the clash for a long time, especially with the presence of other forces that have the ability to use violence in danger.
Is the dictator committing suicide by his declaration? Or is the declaration a mere acceleration of confrontations based on the concept of having the ability to settle “civil violence” and ending it by suppression in one strike and forever?
We don’t know what Morsi was thinking at the time he sent his shocking message. But we do know that the bomb exploded in his hand.
