In the picture…….. an American actress’s comment on US President Trump after his speech, while he is moving his hand while it is bent and his mouth is in a crooked position, and he likens the words of some American politicians to those with disabilities:
“Lack of respect breeds disrespect, and violence breeds violence. When this instinctive tendency to insult people is done by a public figure, an influential official, and the holder of the highest position in the state, its effect will extend to everyone, because it gives others permission to do the same.”
But although her speech came in conjunction with a media campaign that America witnessed against him, which may not be devoid of political motives, her words in general are very correct, as her speech in conclusion is almost present in our heritage with the saying (people follow the religion of their kings).
It is very natural that this awareness and good sensing of this thing came from the mouth of a Hollywood movie star, Meryl Streep, because she works in a field whose primary mission is to create symbols of society. She is well aware, because she is in a position that understands the truth of symbols and their role in directing societies. .
what is the code ?
The symbol in general…is a distinctive icon for all society or a group of society.
This icon… is able to move collective consciousness easily, and it can also reproduce consciousness easily.
A while ago I was in a conversation with a friend about a topic in this context, and we talked about the connection between culture and political power in the whole world, and at the end of my conversation he mentioned a book and asked me to read it to an American entitled: Who Pays for the Piper? The book talks about a major American project to establish cultural and intellectual institutions around the world and the role of those institutions in creating elites in society.
Some people do not realize the fact that the peoples of the whole world… in the collective unconscious… are led behind symbols… they only think through symbols.
Symbols must be created in society, and through these symbols, the collective awareness of societies can be very easily managed and directed to the appropriate place that is compatible with the policy and security of the powers.
These symbols are political, cultural, religious, artistic, sporting, etc., because what the symbol does will be reflected in society automatically and quickly.
The symbol is not limited only to the human being. The symbol may also be a place, or it may be a state or a mental concept.
■ State symbolism
From that previous fact, we will know the real reason behind the anti-refugees and anti-Muslim statements of Trump and some Republicans in the American elections and currently, which were unprecedented in American history.
These statements are not directed at the American interior, but rather they are directed abroad, specifically toward Europe, and their real purpose is to embarrass the European interior and raise the popularity of the extreme right in Europe. How?
Imagine… when the greatest country in the world, and the first country in the world that sponsors and represents democracy and human rights, adopts such a speech, it will indirectly give permission to others to have the courage to adopt such speeches and statements. This will be broken. The barrier that prevents anyone from adopting such speeches.
Trump’s statements aim to pressure Europe to make concessions.
The symbolism of the state has another concept in political science called…the role model state.
■ Symbolism of place
The previous fact also answers a friend’s question about Sunni Muslims in the region and the causes of their problem, which has become a striking phenomenon worthy of study, and which some have interpreted as the disappearance of Misr’s role in the region. Indeed, it is a correct answer, but the interpretation of the miserable awareness of Sunni Muslims based on that fact would be the symbolism of Mecca.
Because Mecca is in the grip of Saudi Arabia, and this means the awareness of the Sunnis is in the hands of Saudi Arabia. This extremist, contradictory, volatile, fearful and oppressive awareness is a natural and true reflection of the Saudi policy that controls its grip on Mecca.
A contradictory policy that suffers from existential anxiety and an alienation that expresses external interests and is ready to sacrifice anything in exchange for victory.
With this symbolism, the House of Saud is aware of the extent and depth of its impact on all Muslims in the world.
A statement by Saudi Foreign Minister Al-Jubeir in June 2018 to an American magazine summarizes that fact when he said:
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia possesses a great deal of soft power, which can influence nearly 2 billion Muslims around the world who turn to it five times a day. When the Kingdom changes, opens up, and adopts policies of moderation, tolerance, and innovation, then Muslims will follow suit. No country has Such soft power.”
They realize that any speech that comes out from within the symbolism of Mecca is a speech from Allah……Allah commands Muslims according to the desire you desire as long as the speech is from Mecca.
■ Leadership symbols
There is a very important point that many must understand, which is the symbolism of the person, especially when we talk about a personality like Saddam Hussein, no matter how much we disagree about his personality, whether it was negative or positive! But everyone must know that he represented a great symbolism in the region, whether we like it or not. Our father…this was a reality….even if some people did not like this…but it is a reality…and therefore the decision to execute Saddam in this way is a crime and a disaster, and the execution was not of an innocent person at all, but rather came from a malicious awareness that realized The impact that his execution will have in this way, and with that religious character, will open the region towards a new awareness…a sectarian cramp. Because you are now executing a symbol in front of his audience… and executing the symbol will direct his audience towards those who executed him.
Imagine what if America killed him and abused him. Do you think that the collective consciousness in the region would become as we see it today?!
Not at all…in fact, awareness would have turned into a comprehensive confrontation against America.
But some do not understand this point, and do not realize that America is well aware of this matter… and realizes that it is in its interest to execute him at the hands of an internal force to create strife. Therefore, America, without a doubt, is the one who ordered the end of Saddam in this way and manner. Deliberately, to destroy collective consciousness, create internal division, make the battle internal, and turn the real enemy of society, which is America, into an internal enemy.
The same applies to Gaddafi, who represented a symbolism, no matter how much we disagreed about Gaddafi’s personality, negatively or positively… NATO was the one who killed him, but it made the story of Gaddafi’s killing at the hands of the Libyans in that brutal way, to create brutality within society and make internal fighting between the Libyans and transform… The enemy in Libya turns from an external enemy to an internal enemy.

I mentioned to my friend during our conversation about a group of literary writers in Yemen. Training courses were being held for them in literary writing and screenwriting in the Emirates, and I think there was a person among them who wrote novels dealing with topics that provoke the morals of society and raise waves of discontent. My friend commented that there was There is also a French institution based in Lebanon that carries out the same activity, as evidence that there is one intellectual project.
………..
■ Moral symbols
The Assembly of the Immortals in France. This tradition in France is considered one of the highest cultural, scientific and literary symbols in France. This complex includes the name of every Frenchman who had a cultural, scientific and intellectual imprint, such as Victor Hugo… and recently France began to intervene. Arab names for the complex, such as Amin Maalouf and two others.
This French tradition has the primary function for which it was created, which is to create moral symbols for societies, so that it becomes like the highest honor that a person can wear or that anyone can seek to obtain, so that it becomes the symbolism that is given to all personalities who follow the direction taken by the political ruling authority, to be the place where Produces the highest symbols of society.
And here comes the value of international awards in all areas of life. The value is not in the financial amounts that are awarded, but in their moral value…..the largest of which in the world are the Nobel Prize and the Oscar Prize.
Whoever wins the Nobel Prize, for example, can then speak so that everyone listens to him with submission.
Award makers do not care at all about the amount of money spent to create these awards, because their interest is mainly focused on creating symbols of society according to their orientations and policies, and from this point you realize the real reasons behind the interest of the Gulf countries in creating several international and international awards, from the Dubai Award to the Award. Qatar to the King Faisal Award, the reasons for their great celebration and the reasons behind its focus on figures of certain intellectual orientations, or its focus on figures from certain countries in the region.
It is the process of creating symbols of society, and we have the best model that explains this fact, Tawakkol Karman, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. After receiving the award, her Facebook page became crowded with followers for no other reason than because she received the Nobel Prize as the first woman in the region.
■ Religious, political, militant, artistic, cinematic, and legal symbols…etc
Have you seen the large number of political symbols that appeared during the so-called (Arab Spring)?
Do you see the large number of religious sheikhs who constantly appear on media channels?
Have you seen how many stars of art and singing entered the world of politics after the so-called Arab Spring?

Perhaps the book that my friend advised me to read, the author took its title from a story from the heritage of one of the countries that revolves around the owner of the magic flute, who used to play the flute and enchant the villagers with the sound of the flute and make them walk behind him and lead them to any place.
It is the world of making symbols that play for the masses and lead them anywhere… making pipers.
Now…imagine with me:
– What if the symbol, with all that brilliance, but carried a corrupt approach and faulty logic, how would society’s awareness become?!
Society will be an exact replica of the symbol with its behaviour, thinking, morals and logic.
Rather, imagine what if all the symbols in society were created by a single power system and agreed on a political direction. Naturally, they would easily lead society to any place, and the people would not be able to escape from the magic of those symbols that dominate their consciousness.
The symbols of what is falsely called the “Arab Spring” and the magic they performed on the masses… are a vivid example of this.
Is the Antichrist in the religious heritage a story with an pedagogical goal to bring closer the truth of how symbols enchant the masses and make them go to destruction while they believe they are going to heaven?!
