Michel Sleiman Picture
Dec 4th
There is no good picture of our Army commander and ?future president? on the net so whenever someone wants to write about him, they attach an old picture of him available on the army’s website to the article. I don’t really like the fact that we’re gonna have him as our next president, but since everybody is writing about him here’s a recent High Definition picture of him you can attach to your articles or modify into a caricature.
Opposition camp, 1 year anniversary
Dec 2nd
Les tentes ont un an aujourd’hui. Elles sont là, vides et offrent un paysage honteux à ce centre-ville si beau et jadis si prospère, car le campement n’aura servi qu’à ruiner les citoyens et non point le Gouvernment. Alors un mot au début de ce mois des Fêtes : Messieurs, levez le camp. Mieux Foutez le camp…

Crazy Country!!
Dec 1st
I stopped watching the news regularly since they started to fight over who was going to lead us to destruction. But for some reason today I decided to watch the evening news and we seriously live in one crazy country!!
Pierre Raffoul is now giving speeches to a crowd with SSNP in them, Caghlos Eddeh is attacking Bkerkeh and March 14, and is threatening that his party (all 50 members) will leave it if they change the constitution! And finally our Syrian ambassador is still showed on TV! Who the hell does Wi2am Wahab represent to oblige me to see his face on my TV whenever I turn it on!! Why did they give this clown any importance when he originally popped out!
Oh and btw I really like the source: “Masader rafi3at l Moustawa” or “Masader Moutali3a” in every statement that leaves politician’s offices!
Gebran Tueni Month
Dec 1st
Two years ago on the 12 of this month a bunch of cowards assassinated the only free, independent and Lebanese politician in Lebanon. On the 12/12/05 they murdered Gebran Tueni! They tried to silence him by killing him but they did not succeed and they never will. Starting today I will publish a post about Gebran everyday until the 12 of December, those post will hopefully let each one of you remember Gebran’s words and let the killers remember that he will never die!
I’ll start by the most famous speech of Gebran, his speech on March 14 2005, the day we gave Syria the final kick out of Lebanon, the day we all pledged to remain united together protecting our Lebanon.
Na7na Ktir Cool!!
Nov 29th
General Michel Aoun ktir cool!! Check out his latest statement, he tells us he is cool at exactly 11:04. In case you don’t know “Na7na Ktir Cool” is a sentence used by Carlos and Pamela, two characters from the “La Youmal” TV show from Future TV. La Youmal has a sketch about Aoun and FPM in every episode so him saying this today makes the sentence even funnier now! You can check out the original “cool” pair in any of the La Youmal videos here.
Email claiming McDonald’s could be a Terrorist target
Nov 29th
Today I received a forwarded mail that claims that sources from the UNIFIL intelligence told someone that some terrorists want to attack MCDonalds in Lebanon to oppose the Annapolis conference.
Here’s the mail, it was originally sent by some Joumana but that could be easily faked so I wont put the full name or e-mail of the person:
Dear All,
Through UNIFIL Intelligence Sources, we are informed that Mc Donald’s restaurants in Lebanon could be a target by TERRORISTS opposing the Annapolis meeting. So you are advised to avoid these places for the remaining of the week.
Stay Safe,
Joumana
In my opinion this mail is just a bad joke done by some person that wants to harm McDonald’s. For starters UNIFIL does not go sharing its intelligence with people! And even if it did I guess they would have just made it public instead of telling “Joumana” leaving her the task to protect the Lebanese! In addition to this and if my memory is correct I remember receiving something similar to this a couple of years ago, and the mail got denied on TV back then and the police started an investigation to find out who the sender was.
So if you receive this mail just ignore it and throw it in your trash, I am pretty sure McDonald’s is secure, don’t worry you can have a big Mac this week!
ICE Campaign in Lebanon
Nov 25th
This morning I watched a Lebanese red cross ad on TV encouraging people to enter an ICE number into the phone book of their Cell-Phones.
ICE means In Case of Emergency and entering this phone number will allow the Red Cross or any first responder to know who to contact in case you are in an accident. All you have to do is add a contact to your cell with the number of the person you want them to call in case you are in an accident. If you have multiple ICEs just name them ICE1, ICE2 … you can also add the relation you have with that person after the number like this: ICE1-Mom …
Note that the ICE program is not only running in Lebanon, it is also used in Europe and North America so get your cell phone and add an ICE entry now!
Christmas is here = Lahoud Finally left
Nov 24th
Visitors to LF’s site tonight got a weird message saying “Christmas is Here” one month before Christmas, the reason they got this message is because the guy that did the countdown that was running on the site took a Christmas countdown and modified it, the only thing he forgot to modify was the result :D, here’s a screenshot of the site the second Lahoud left office.
Lahoud Left Baabda
Nov 24th
Lahoud is now officially finally an EX PRESIDENT!
I hope they agree on a new president soon that will be able to fix the mess done in those 9 years!
A State of Emergency
Nov 23rd
Lahoud declared a state of emergency, so I guess the army now controls the country, any idea what is gonna happen after this?
Here’s the declaration in arabic:
صدر عن الامانة العامة لرئاسة الجمهورية
ان رئيس الجمهورية بناءاً على الدستور المادتين 49 و 50 مرسوم اشتراعي 102 / 83
المدتين الاولى والثانية
وبناءاً على المرسوم الاشتراعي 52 اعلان حالة الطوارئ او المنطقة العسكرية
بما ان الولاية تنتهي في 23 من الجاري،
زبما انه لم يتم انتخاب رئيس للجمهورية حتى تاريخه، والحكومة تفتقر الى الميثاقية الدستورية
بحيث لا يسعها ممارسة السلطة بطريقة سليمة، مما ينسحب على مجلس الوزراء ومجلس الدفاع وعملاً بالتزامات رئيس الجمهورية تجاه وفي ضوء الظروف الاستثنائية يعلن رئيس توافر وتحقق اخطار حالة الطوارئ اعتباراً من 24 ت 2، 07 يكلف الجيش حفظ الامن ووضع قوى الجيش بتصرفه، عرض التدابير التي يفرضها الجيش فور تشكيل حكومة ميثتقية جديدة.
And btw we will get to see Lahoud leaving live on TV at 00:00 AM :D.
Update: The government is going to announce that the state of emergency is unconstitutional because apparently the constitution says that the government must announce it and it should be signed by the Minister of Defense (Source: LBCI)
