Let’s cut to the chase: the second Maarab Conference held last Saturday was a colossal failure, just like the first. It was a disgrace to the alienated Christian leadership, disconnected from the realities unfolding in Lebanon and across the Middle East. The sole purpose of the conference was not to address the concerns of Lebanon, its people, or the Christian presence under Iranian occupation. Nor did it focus on the ongoing war between Hezbollah and Israel, or the disasters plaguing the nation. What Geagea sought, and will never achieve, is the fulfillment of his grandiose delusion of being the “one and only Christian leader.” This delusion has blinded him for years, and because of it, untold catastrophes have befallen the Christians. Let us not forget that he seized the leadership of the Lebanese Forces Party (LF) through violence, without ever being elected to that position.
It is evident that this so-called conference achieved nothing but exposing Geagea’s illusions. There will be no presidency, no first lady, and it’s time to wake up from these delusional daydreams. His obsessive hallucinations will likely lead him to call for a third Maarab Conference soon, driven by the same baseless fantasy of being the “sole Christian leader.” Those who fail to learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them.
On the other side, Aoun, his son-in-law, and their opportunistic herd held prayers for the martyrs of October 13, 1990—the very martyrs they betrayed. It was Aoun and his cronies who jumped over their blood, forming alliances with those who killed them. Aoun and his son-in-law and their herd of puppets, just like Geagea, live in a distorted reality and stuck in a 1990 déjà vu, as if they were still in the presidential palace.
A Brief on Samir Geagea’s Failures
Geagea lacks any vision, and in every pivotal moment, his decisions have been blind and destructive for the Christians. Some examples include: the execution of two men he falsely accused of trying to assassinate him, his participation in the killing of Tony Frangieh, his surrender of the Lebanese Forces’ weapons, his drowning in the Taif Agreement, his idiotic alliance of mutual personal interest with Aoun, his election of Aoun for presidency, and his failure to flee during the Syrian occupation and stupidly go willingly to prison (even Christ fled multiple times). He even extended condolences in Qardaha over Basil al-Assad’s death, abandoned the South Lebanon Army members, and showed cowardice in defending them. His hypocrisy knows no bounds, claiming Hezbollah’s martyrs are like those of the Lebanese Forces, while also falsely stating that Hezbollah liberated the South when he knows Israel withdrew by internal decision. His shameless flattery of Hezbollah’s MPs, calling them Lebanese representatives of the Shiites, while in reality, Hezbollah holds the Shiite population hostage and imposes its MPs by force. He opposed the Orthodox electoral law and sidelined every intellectual in his circle. All this, coupled with his narcissistic delusion of being the “sole Christian leader,” leads to a total lack of leadership and vision.
In conclusion, All Maronites’ Failures, Disasters, and Downfalls since 1986 are the Direct Products of Aoun & Geagea’s Narcissistic and Blind Agendas”
