Geagea: There is a campaign against LF from behind the border

geagea 040808- 2Following the weekly meeting of the Lebanese Forces parliamentary bloc in Maarab, L F leader Samir Geagea admitted that “most Ouyoun Orghosh residents are LF supporters, including those detained over this case.”

He was responding to the media reports of March 8.

He said ” the allegations in the media reports are not based on any concrete evidence, ” adding that he is waiting for “the Judiciary to say its final word on the issue.”

Answering a question on the reportedly seized weapons – having Hebrew writings — and the large amount of drugs , Geagea stressed that “there is campaign being launched against the LF from behind the border.”

“Those who are waging this campaign are agents who haven’t been satiated by their treason throughout the past 10 years,” Geagea added.

“To some, political work is based on false accusations and fabricating stories.”

On Monday, the LF denied it had any link with the attack in Ouyoun Orghosh, vowing legal action against March 8 media outlets for allegedly reporting false information.

“The accusations broadcasted by March 8 media are a forestallment of the Lebanese judiciary’s work, particularly that two of the suspects are still held at the (army) intelligence directorate,” the LF said in a statement.

March 8 media outlets said Sunday that LF gunmen had opened fire on a family having a picnic in Ouyoun Orghosh and then clashed with the army.

Four people, who reportedly admitted to being LF members, were arrested, according to the reports.

The LF statement accused the media organizations of taking orders from “their masters behind the border” to alter facts and distort the image of the party “which spearheads the independent and sovereign” movement in the country.

“The LF is making preparations to take judicial procedures against March 8 media that invented such lies,” it added.

MP Michel Aoun added his criticism today when he commented on the incident by saying : The drug trade is increasing in Lebanon and should be controlled

    Geagea right! Its “TRUTH” campaign thats being waged against you and ur thug followers!

  • Fadi Abboud

    Anyone who deals with Drugs should be persecuted .. but how do you persecute those who control the government and the Bekaa valley ?

  • Tarie Al Fanarie

    Sam Jawad the thugs are the one who are trying to control Lebanon from Tehran via Damascus and via Dahia (underground .. Oops its me Nassrallah) The thugs who want to control everything in Lebanon and when things do not go their way they created May 7th Events. The thugs who are threatening everyone if they don’t follow their ways. The thugs who killed so many lebanese including hariri, Gibran Tueni, Gemyal and try to kill Elias Murr and many more. The thugs who have threatened to bring wrath and destruction on anyone dares to accuse them of any killings. The thugs who runs the drugs in Bekaa and Mexico drug cartels. Who runs Africa illegal trades. Who pirates videos and money laundering. Enough of your crap. Now i wish the isrealis erase you from the face of the earth you scumbags.

  • archoug

    Mr. Al Fanarie : if Hitler couldn’t erase the jews from the face of the earth . why do you think jews can erase the scumbags. it doesn’t work that way . every person has the wright to live & kill & deal with drugs. it is a free world . if you can do it & get away with it .

  • Tabet

    You’re such a tosser Tarie, get over yourself and stop posting such racially motivated comments. By the way tosser your buddy Geagea is a criminal that was proven to be a mass murderer guilty of plotting to kill his own people to instigate secular war. In light of that, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if his private militia was financed by drug money like any other garden variety street thug militia around. And really what are you thinking by writing “Now i wish the isrealis erase you from the face of the earth you scumbags.” Seriously who writes something like that?????? Firstly, tosser, to the isrealis we the Christians are no better than Muslims and to them we are all expendable and they would not hesitate to eliminate all of us without batting an eye lid. So before you ask the isrealis to wipe any one off the face of the earth take a deep breath, think and then DON’T POST ANYTHING !!!!!!! btw you love the isrealis so much MOVE THERE.

  • Tarie Al Fanarie

    Tabet no one is talking about erasing a sect or a single religion. That by itself is not racist. Its cold blooded yes but not racist. Because i have the utmost respect for many shiites and especially their religious sheiks. Second with all due respect to our muslims brothers. Stop you and Aoun followers defending those thugs. Just like others who defends hariri who is selling Lebanon to all Arabs in the name of investment. He’s continuing to do what his late father did. Is it too much to ask for no outside interference whether its be it from Israel, Syria, Iran or the US or any countries. These thugs bring weapans, deal drugs and control lebanon. Killed Hariri, Gibran Tueni and many more people beacuse these leaders tried to step on their toes. So you keep defending these thugs and all i want to erase these thugs. Basically any thugs that harms Lebanon. I do not defend anyone who harms lebanon even if he’s Christian. Erasing them of course is not matter and its not possible. These thugs control Airport, communications in the country and every aspect of Lebanese life. They want to prevent foreigners from European countries to come to Lebanon cause they’re afraid of the mossad. Next thing if anyone names George they will send him to his country? where does it stop Tabet? The Syrians instead of supporting the Lebanese army all these years over control of Lebanon. they support a resistance and now the execuse we carry arms because the Army is so weak. they brought the two farms issues fews years and say its lebanese so the resistance can carry on its armed struggle against israel. Syria controls a lot of Land in Lebanon. Why don’t these thugs tell them to leave the land or we wage war against them. These thugs called resistance want to fight their own pretend war. No one is saying Mossad and Israel are angels but why keep messing with stinging bees for God’s sake. Why do you have to control lebanon other than wanting to get your rules over the country eventually. They’re smart thugs and they don’t control the country at once because they can now if they want to. But slowly they are and no one dares to defy them not even the president of Lebanon. Enough said!

  • Tony Smith

    Name one ruler or politician in the middle east that is not a criminal..
    Get off Geagea’s back..at least he stands up for the Syrian enemy unlike the others that do nothing but kiss their asses..

  • Tarie Al fanarie

    Well Said Tony..Its okay and holy to be israelis enemy but Syria has done more damage to Lebanon and left so many scars and killed so many people. Yet it left lebanon in bad shape and now its controlling it thru these thugs who have no disregard for Lebanon whatsoever. I do not support Geagea but you telling me we’re better off now cause you all kissing up to Assad? Hafez said that Lebanon is ours and there will not be any peace in Lebanon unless we control it. so pick your poison damn it. They suck us economically politically as long as we bow down to them. Its not different from israelis. So if these thugs looking after they benefits, then no its okay you can keep destroying Lebanon for the sake of fighting israel.. Keep making execuses and believe me someone predicted that israel will use limited nuclear weapons in the south because it could not easily defeats the South. I am sure the world will jump on them, but in the end the jews doing what they do best is control Lebanon so it doesnt hurt it anymore. Syria is doing it politically now and use these thugs as its arms. No need to use its milatery since it got agents of hell to do it for it for a good price of course. Get lost you jerks.

  • Tarie Al fanarie

    Sam Jawad how about the thugs who took over west beirut and killed people left and right because they were sunnis? Are they Jail? How come the Army did not move to stop the killing? Could it be your thugs control it? is the Lebanon you want? i guess so? Thugs and intimidations goes well together.
    Once they arrest these people who were responsible for the killing on May 7th. Or those who come on their Cycles and stab people. Those who nearly burned East Beirut because Basmat AL Watan made fun of their thug leaders on TV. Oops poor soul could not take a joke so he sends his thugs out on the street. I think when we have thugs like you then your turn us into one so we can defend ourselves. And last what are people from Bekaa doing over this Area anyway? trying to create some civil strife?

  • Tabet

    Tarie I think you have miss-understood where my loyalty lies. And Tony, I’m truly disappointed in you my friend, you are one of the more intelligent contributors to this site but I’m afraid you too have mistaken the position of my loyalty. Let me clarify to you both my views and position as far as Lebanese politics and Lebanon is concerned. I am loyal only to Lebanon. I would die for the freedom of Lebanon if it were occupied by ANY country. I would support ANY politician of ANY religion that had 100% the best intentions for the preservation of Lebanon as a whole. I hate Israel, Syria, Iran and Mexico only because Mexican food gives me soooo much gas. And I would love nothing more than to see Gemayel, Hariri, Aoun, Geagea, Jumblatt, Nasrallah, Waheb and Assad drop dead tomorrow. So before you assume or question where my loyalty lies just remember unlike many of the Lebanese I really don’t give a stuff about ANY of the current politicians or political parties that are currently occupying the political arena in Lebanon, I only care about Lebanon only!

  • Jack Domani

    I couldn’t have said it better myself.

  • Tony A

    solutions people without the word kill – can you do it? do you know how to negotiate and discuss without your gun?

    the wild west was long over.

  • TABET

    Tony A, you’re right I should just embrace the gas and not hold Mexico liable:)I’ve read your posts and believe me I have the same views as you with respects to middle eastern politics but gee these guys really manage to get under my skin and I always end up posting back in anger. I should just post my bits and resist the urge to impulsive reply. Take care Tony

    ya tarie,
    i am quoting what you said:
    “They’re smart thugs and they don’t control the country at once because they can now if they want to. But slowly they are and no one dares to defy them not even the president of Lebanon…”
    i understand your frustrations, i have read some of your articles and i bet you are good at analyzing situations with your unique kind of perpective, but after the analysis you must reach a synthesis or conclusion.

    you mentioned that these smart thugs are slowly controlling the country; well you should add smart and POWERFUL thugs.
    and guess what, as you probably know, these thugs, as you say, are smart and powerful for a reason: it is because the other party in the equation granted they are most of them allright and patriotic and coming from traditional pro western lebanese families; they are neither smart nor powerful and some of them are waiting for the right opportunity to dump their fellows and desert in a moment’s notice as witnessed lately.

    so instead of repeating endlessly what the hezb and cos. are wrongdoing and successfully and so far, getting away with it despite the disapproval of the majority of lebanese, why dont you concentrate on the other party and their sponsor nations and try to find out why they have been failing so miserably in lebanese politics???

    also, when we talk about the lebanese top gov. officials, historically and generally speaking, they are the masters of double standards; they always stand behind the strongest party in the country, contrary to popular opinion.

    this is even truer in general with the christian lebanese and their gov representatives. these top officials, eventhough they never cease to declare night and day that they are trying to reestablish the authority of the leb gov over all leb territories, they are not ashamed of taking a back seat and praising loudly with the distorted logic of a loser in disguise, those who are keeping them from achieving their goal.

  • Fadi Abboud

    The other parties are losing because their western allies have made broken promises and are not supporting them as well as Iran and Syria supports Hezbollah.. The reason:
    It is not in Israel’s best interest to have a successful,peaceful, westernized , leaning country right next door. A Lebanon thats ruled with Corruption and disrespect to the law and with allies like Iran and Syria give a reason for Israel’s continued political agenda and success.

  • voice of truth

    ya fadi
    at least now we are getting somewhere, meaning we are analyzing why the other party or the 14th of march folks have been failing miserably in lebanon.

    the majority of the lebanese, eventhough they do not support all of the current 14th of march leaders, nevertheless they support the 14th of march ideas that reflect to the world the true and open image of the lebanon we all knew and all wanted to stay that way.

    i definitely agree with you that the previous 14th of march sponsor states and on top of them the us , saudi arabia, and france did not do much to help the pro western party; but to talk about broken promises is not true. no promises were given!!! the promises you are talking about are fabricated propaganda and allegations that hezballah and cos. successfully used as a label against the 14th of march party.

    for example, the famous 2 hours sandwich meeting at the american embassy in aucar between the 14th of march leaders and the american delegation was labelled by hezballah and cos. as the major diplomatic event that was going to change the face of the middle east. we all know that absolutely nothing happened at that meeting, nothing asked and nothing given.

    here i am not saying that the sponsor nations refused to help the lebanese legitimate authority and the 14th of march folks if asked, but what i am saying, the saniora gov. at that time refused to ask for any help, even from arab islamic countries.

    i give you another example: when us navy ships coming from cyprus approached the leb coast few weeks before the 7th of may 2008 hezballah and cos. invasion of beirut; pm saniora was among the firsts to call the american ambassador and demanded the us naval force to stay away from the leb shores. a fatal error saniora paid the price dearly during the beirut invasion.

    so here you have a critical and uneven situation whereby the 14th of march leaders are facing alone without any support from the leb gov., the executive or military and without any support whatsoever from outside trying to withstand the virulent attacks of fully armed hezballah and cos. proudly and openly backed by syria, iran and their followers.

    another problem facing the 14th of march leaders; they are not taken seriously, in lebanon and abroad. proof they were the only party targeted for assasinations and they were hiding in the riviera hotel helpless and could not do anything about it.

    you are mentioning that israel and hezballah have common interests in keeping the leb. gov. weak lawless and corrupt and you may be right, but the logic would dictate that israel would rather have a powerful gov in lebanon like in jordan, egypt or even in syria so it can make peace with or at least hold responsible for keeping peaceful borders, and not have rockets stockpiling against her along the northern borders.
    unfortunately, the current double standards of the leb gov wanting to reestablish its sovereignty over all lebanon and in the same time backing hezballah and cos. all the way is eroding its credibility with the international community.
