God punishes us for our infidelity and lack of faith in Michel Aoun, who has succumbed to all the temptations of Lucifer, and in his son-in-law, Gebran the Magnitsky (sanctioned under the US Magnitsky Act), and in all those who are of their Trojan ilk. Elias Bejjani/September 23, 2025
The popular receptions and celebrations held for Michel Aoun and his sanctioned son-in-law during their tours in some regions of Lebanon in recent days are a shameful and strange reality, to which the popular saying “the cat loves its strangler” and “Stockholm syndrome” apply.
These receptions are the best evidence of the depth of our national and spiritual tragedy. On a personal faith-based and firm conviction, I have become certain that the Lord is punishing us Christians in Lebanon and the diaspora in particular, with a class of stinking, devilish, corrupt, and corrupting politicians and clerics who have gleefully succumbed to all the temptations of Lucifer, the king of demons. This is because we have distanced ourselves from our faith and the duty to protect our sacred homeland, and we have deliberately and premeditatedly preferred all that is worldly, earthly, and uncontrolled instinctive.
I have personally become convinced that the punishment and retribution for this instinctive reality come to us through infidel leaders, politicians, rulers, and clerics, foremost and most dangerous of whom are the corrupt and narcissistic Gebran Bassil, and his uncle Michel Aoun, who has killed within himself all the components of shame and conscience, which are God.
Through the power, debauchery, and harlotry of these scribes and Pharisees of politicians, heads of so falsely called political party (in reality commercial companies), and turbaned and hooded groups, God is punishing us by letting them roam freely, deciding our fate by buying and selling us in the slave market. They have surpassed their masters in inventing all kinds of evils and falls, drowning us in their quagmires and burning us with their fire.
In this context of punishment, I find it strange that there is still a single rational and faithful Christian in Lebanon and abroad, capable of differentiating between good and evil, right and wrong, who has not explicitly cursed Michel Aoun, his son-in-law, and the majority of politicians and heads of party companies after all the infidelity, ingratitude, collaboration, betrayal, corruption, depravity, errors, and sins they have committed.
In short, whoever is still submerged in a coma of ignorance, stupidity, and slavery, and continues to “glorify” and “sanctify” Michel Aoun and his son-in-law Gebran, receiving them, walking their walk, and saying their say despite their un-Lebanese and unpatriotic actions and choices, it simply means that the effects of the heavenly curse, divine wrath, and retribution will not stop. They will continue to strike Lebanon and its people through this duo and through all those of their ilk from politicians, clerics, and leaders.
It remains that the political and national exposure of Bassil and his uncle, their practices, errors, and sins, does not in any way mean that the rest of the heads of our party companies, their followers, and 99% of our political teams, and the turbaned and hooded ones are better than them, even if they do not provoke the noise, disgust, and curses that Gebran and his uncle, and those who follow them of merchants, opportunists, and narcissists, provoke.
We ask: How can any Lebanese expatriate support Gebran Bassil and Micheal Aoun and not curse them, and not work to overthrow them from all that they politically and nationally represent, while they, with debauchery, shamelessly oppose the participation of Lebanese expatriates in the parliamentary elections just like their resident relatives? How can the expatriate not curse them when they are the ones who handed the country over to Hezbollah and let it turn it into an Iranian colony? Those who still support them in the diaspora should go to the nearest mental health clinic and pray day and night, hoping that God will forgive them for their national, spiritual, and mental falls.
It remains that our current reality is a reality of a time of drought, misery, sorrow, and disbelief… while Lebanon of sanctity and saints is being eaten to the bone by the worm of moral and ethical decay due to a lack of faith and the fear of God and His final judgment.
The Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act
The Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act is a U.S. law that gives the government the authority to impose targeted sanctions on foreign individuals and entities responsible for significant acts of human rights abuse or corruption anywhere in the world. It was enacted in 2016 and expanded on the original 2012 Magnitsky Act, which was a specific response to the death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.
Origins: The Story of Sergei Magnitsky
The law is named after Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian tax advisor who uncovered a $230 million tax fraud scheme involving Russian government officials. After he exposed the corruption, Magnitsky was arrested and imprisoned. During his 11 months in custody, he was reportedly tortured and denied medical care, dying in a Moscow prison in 2009. His death sparked international outrage and led to the passage of the original Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act in 2012, which specifically targeted Russian officials involved in his case.
Key Provisions
The Global Magnitsky Act broadened the scope of the original law, making it applicable to human rights abusers and corrupt actors worldwide. It gives the U.S. government the power to:
Freeze Assets: Block all property and interests in property of sanctioned individuals and entities that are under U.S. jurisdiction.
Impose Visa Bans: Deny entry into the U.S. to sanctioned individuals and revoke any existing visas.
Prohibit Transactions: Prevent U.S. persons and businesses from engaging in transactions with those who have been sanctioned.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Department of State are responsible for implementing these sanctions, often working with information from human rights organizations and foreign governments. Since its enactment, the Global Magnitsky Act has been used to sanction hundreds of individuals and entities from dozens of countries, including officials involved in the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the persecution of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and other egregious acts. The law has also inspired similar “Magnitsky-style” legislation in other countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, creating a more coordinated international effort to combat global corruption and human rights abuses.
