It Is a Desire for the Position

In a text he wrote, somewhere, he claims that there is a Kuwaiti group abroad that raises its voice as a “political opposition,” claiming to advocate for reform and rectification, while their practices, in his view, reveal a lack of dialogue values and political work rules! One who writes such things should embody dialogue values and political work rules, but this person’s actions, behavior, and writings are far removed from that, especially with those closest to him (!!). Moreover, those he attacked and belittled are not Kuwaiti citizens anymore, as their citizenship was revoked by sovereign decisions. They already endure enough suffering, hardship, and sorrow, being far from their families and homeland, facing daily humiliation and loss of security. Yet this self-proclaimed moralist adds insult to injury with claims of politeness and national loyalty, while he himself often lacks dialogue etiquette and has deliberately insulted many individuals, including me. My article responding to his personal attack is available for anyone who wishes to read it.

What he wrote generally serves as an attempt to erase himself from public memory and remind government institutions of his existence, suggesting they might consider employing him. He knows they “know his true nature,” who he is, and has sufficient knowledge of his background. He is a burden to anyone who employs him, having previously faced severe reprimand in his first job and been dismissed. The same thing happened to him in a more humiliating manner in his second job, with the scandal covered up in exchange for his dismissal. He repeated his clumsy behavior in his third position, when a prominent figure intervened on his behalf, out of pity, resulting only in his removal from his prestigious post. But he repeated it a fourth time, leading to a “block” on his employment in any government position. Even some newspapers where he used to write asked him to stop contributing. With no other options, he resorted to using his pen for whoever pays, engaging in cheap sycophancy toward those who control his hiring and return him to the public stage, albeit through the back door.

He writes attacking the “opposition abroad,” claiming that a desire for revenge possesses them, accusing them of lacking argumentative strength, and alleging that they confuse opposition to policies with enmity toward the nation (!!). He asserts that their actions may succeed in creating noise, but they do not make political history nor offer a national reform project! It is strange that such words come from someone who has never been known for making history or being the author of a national reform project.
