Mere Lebanese Political Puppets Elias Bejjani/January 27/16 Apparently for our Maronite rotten political leaders, it seems that all the roads they love to walk through to achieve their individual power agendas leads to Hezbollah. Accordingly, It will not be a surprise for any Lebanese who can differentiate between right and wrong and between a patriotic and a puppet to witness very soon a sort of a fishy meeting between Geagea and Nasrallah. Sadly In Lebanon, In the Iranian occupied Lebanon there is nothing any more surprising.
The 1960 Parliamentary Election Law is no Federation… Tom Harb/Thawrat Al Arz/January 27/16/Make no mistake the so-called 1960 law which would allow members of a commuity to elect their representatives, will actually give the control of the representation of the community to those who have most money, including regional donations and create a dominant power inside each community while Lebanon as a whole is controlled by Iran and Hezbollah. If the Christians of Lebanon or any other community wants a real reprentation and a democratic one, they should establish a real federal system with local Governments and assemblies. The 1960 Law is not a federation. It is a mafia style control of each community by warlords and zaims who in turn would divide the authorities of the Government among themselves. The Lebanese Christians and other communities should call for a clear and transparent federal system not a zaims-systems.
