Drugs Business, Assad's Family, and Cocaine in White House
9 July 2023 By Abiodun Kareem Giwa
Syria has withdrawn BBC's accreditation, the AP reports. Authorities in the war thorn country removed the certification for persistent inconsistent reporting of events. However, the BBC refuted the allegation and said its loss of accreditation arose from a story connecting senior army officers and members of Assad's family to the drugs business. The government did not mention the drugs business as part of the reasons for BBC's expulsion. There is a comparison between the United States and Syria for the Cocaine found in the White House, (Newsweek) and no news organization has lost accreditation for its reporting the news.
The stark similarity between events in Syria and the United is real; safe Syria is a war besieged, and the U.S. is not. The BBC has confirmed that Assad's family and senior military members are involved in the drugs business.
The Cocaine found in the White House is yet to have an owner. And a news reporter's question whether President Biden and Hunter could be owners caused the White House spokesperson, Karine Jean Pierre, to say the question is irresponsible. (Huff Post)
She said the first family was not in the White House on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. She added the Bidens returned to their official residence on Tuesday. But another report says the president attended an occasion on Friday before leaving the White House at about 4:00 pm.
The question about the ownership of Cocaine in the White is even secondary to many observers. The major issue is how the substance arrived there despite all the security measures and cameras. And this leads to a suggestion that the Cocaine must have reached the inner White House through someone who evaded a search or X-ray machine.
What immediately emerged is a story of security dysfunction in the White House. And calling a reporter irresponsible for asking a question is akin to taking away his certification. Does Pierre know she is interacting with professionals representing qualified media organizations? Does not she know what it means to call someone's act irresponsible? Can a skilled news reporter's act be termed reckless? In any case, it is what Syria has called the BBC, and Pierre called a news reporter in the World's number one Democracy for working to hold an elected representative accountable.
Syria is an autocratic country under the boots of war where jungle justice and rash decisions are possible, unlike a Democratic country such as the U.S., with decency and respect for orderly conduct. The discovery of Cocaine in the White House is an open story revealed by security managers, not through an enterprising journalism practice. Some have already said the response to the reporter's question is a way to kill the story and will lead to eventual suppression.
The reporter wants to gather the true information and inform the public instead of allowing rumors to fester. It is true people are making all sorts of suggestions, and the source that should reveal the truth to counter wild and unfounded allegations is making a war out of it.
How would the public know it is not President Biden or his son who took Cocaine into the White House if the spokesperson, responsible for handling such information with care, does not, and she becomes reckless? All said and done, and the public has not heard the last word about this case.
The expectation is knowing who has taken an illicit substance into the president's official residence and office. And this should not constitute a war or its moral equivalent.
