ظاهرة بارود تخيف الطبقة الفاسدة

عشية تشكيل الحكومة الجديدة، يبدو وزير الداخلية زياد بارود المطمئن الوحيد إلى حفاظه على حقيبته.الأمر يغيظ كثيرون ويزعج من يوتره سماع الناس يتحدثون بحماسة عن هذا الوزير الشاب، لكن "ظاهرة بارود" تستحق التوقف عندها لثلاثة أسباب رئيسية تجعل منه أكثر من مجرد وزير عابر

خلافاً للمنطق اللبناني، لا يأتي بارود إلى السلطة لا بفضل انتمائه إلى حزب كرس شرعية وزارية بفضل السلاح، ولا بفضل ثرواته التي اشترت له نفوذاً يوفر بريستيج الوزارة، ولا بفضل انتمائه العائلي إلى إحدى العائلات - الثوابت في الحياة السياسية أو صداقته لأحد الزعماء. ورغم ذلك يبدو الرأي العام سعيداً بهذا الوزير، وكأن الرأي العام يقول من خلاله إنه يؤيد هكذا تجربة، ويؤيد الخروج من دائرة الطبقة السياسية المغلقة

مقارنة مع معظم الوزراء الآخرين، نجح بارود، دون أخذه الحسابات الانتخابية بعين الاعتبار، بتحقيق إنجازات في وزارته كإتمامه العملية الانتخابية في يوم واحد وإشراكه المجتمع المدني في إدارة هذه العملية وتوفيره هبات عينية تتخطى قيمتها السبعين مليار دولار لإنجاح الانتخابات (حبر، عازل، صناديق الاقتراع...). وتحقيقه بعض الخروقات الأمنية، وتوقيف المشتبه بهم دون مراعاة الحسابات السياسية. وموافقته على إلغاء القيد الطائفي إضافة إلى معالجته نحو 4000 من ملفات "إعطاء الجنسية لغير مستحقيها" السبعة آلاف. وقد فعل بارود مراعاة وزارة الداخلية والبلديات لحقوق الانسان محاولاً الموازنة بين هيبة قوى الأمن وإشعار الناس أن الوزارة تعنيهم. مع العلم أن الناس يلاحظون بعض التفاصيل الصغيرة كتراجع عدد التراخيص للزجاج القاتم، واهتمام بارود بالسجون، وإنشائه موقعاً إلكترونياً إنتخابياً يعرض القوائم الانتخابية ونتائج الانتخابات

ابتسامة بارود وكثرة حركته؛ فالناس ملوا من الوزارء الذين يطلون متجهمين، عابسين، يمنّنون الناس لمجرد قيامهم بواجبهم فيما تطمئن ابتسامة بارود المواطنين وتخفف المسافات بين الوزير والناس.ختاماً، يفترض بالزعماء التقليديين أن يتمعنوا قليلاً في "ظاهرة بارود"، ويستخلصوا العبر. فقد لا يكون لهذه الظاهرة نتائج انتخابية أو شعبية تؤثر عليهم نظراً لحدة الانقسام السياسي، لكن الأكيد أنها حين تعرف كيف تنسج علاقات مع ظواهر مشابهة ستؤثر كثيراً في صناعة رأي عام وصناعة مسؤولين.وربما هذا ما يجعل بعض السياسيين وبعض الإعلاميين يحقدون على بارود

Majority Tycoon Saad Hariri on his way to becoming the new Prime Minister designate.

Hariri met with his Arch-rival Hezbolla’s Fuhrer Dr. Hassan Nasroulla in a secret location for 4 hours. Reports indicate that the meeting was positive for Hezbolla since Hariri will not touch the subject of Hezbolla’s weapons should he become the next Prime Minister which is a 180 degree shift from his election campaign a month ago.

Musical Legend and Genius Michael Jackson is Dead.

Eternal Speaker Nabih Berri has been reselected by foes and allies to remain the Speaker of the new Parliament.

In order to become the next Prime Minister, Saad Hariri has instructed his Deputies to vote for Berri.

On their part, Christian Deputies in the Majority camp casted blank votes thus abstaining from voting for Berri.

No real juicy News today except a small comment regarding the elections in Lebanon: Why is it that the People of Lebanon cannot live without having the same Feudal Families ruling them?

R A P I O

The Christian Deputies in the Hariri Clan have decided to caste a blank vote against Eternal Speaker Nabih Berri sending him a message of dissatisfaction with his shutting down of the Parliament at whelm.

The Christian Deputies of Zahleh deserted their temporary Godfather Nicolas Fattoush by joining Warlord Samir Jaajaa Lebanese Forces parliamentary block.

After lying to the World and denying of having any Lebanese Prisonners, Syria releases 31 Lebanese who have been held against their will in Syrian Terror Jails for years.

Outgoing Interior Minister and National Hero Ziad Baroud regrets not having any information about the kidnapped Engineer Joseph Sader who was taken away in Hezbolla Land near the Beirut Airport.

Both elected Deputies Tueiny and Tersarkissian refuse to join Samir Jaajaa's Lebanese Forces Block in the new Parliament.

The Golden Murex has named Former Lebanese Minister Nayla Solh as Person of the Year.

Feudal Lord Amine Gemayel has finally came to the rescue of his Patriarch Sfeir against what Hezbolla's Fuhrer stated about Sfeir. Gemayel declared that Nasroulla's statement about Sfeir is the foundation of a new religious upheaval in the country.

Maronite Patriarch Nasralla Sfeir has turned a persona-non-grata in his recent visit to the Maronite heartland district of Byblos where he was greeted with offensive signs and slogans by the inhabitants.

An official divorce between the Minority and the Maronite Patriarch is eminent; thus consecrating the split among the Christians in general and the Maronites in particular and rendering them a very weak element in the next phase set to naturalize the Balestinians in the 10,452 km2.

The Ministry of Interior is now permitting Lebanese mothers to apply for citizenship for their children born to non-Lebanese fathers which till now, was not allowed. This is seen as the 1st step to give thousands of Balestinian kids of Lebanese mothers but Balestinian fathers the Lebanese citizenship.

A 3-hour top secret meeting was held last night between Hezbolla’s Fuhrer Dr. Hassan Nasroulla and Feudal Lord Sleiman Franjieh. Speculators predict that the former has briefed the latter about his meeting with Al-Wali Jumblat which would allow Jumblat to return back to the “Made in Syria” camp.

It is also said that Jumblat may have requested a meeting with his Lebanese arch-rival and Minority Chieftain Michel Aoun.

Independent Observers wonder the reason why the traditional Maronite families did not defend their Patriarch Sfeir from Hezbolla's Fuhrer's accusations on him on national TV 48 hours ago.

Last night, a meeting took place between the old allies turned foes and perhaps again new allies Warlords Al Wali Jumblat and Hezbolla's Fuhrer Nasroulla.

Reports reveal that the purpose of this meeting was to re-open the door for Jumblat to return to the Made in Syria Umbrella.

Minister of Energy Tabourian lashes out at outgoing PM Saniora accusing him of ignoring the power plan the former had put forward in order to bring in 24 hour electricity to the people of Lebanon so that the Oil Mafia Cartel in the Lebanon can benefit more by monopolizing the source of energy.

The Lebanese Justice released the Hezbolla man accused of shooting down a Lebanese Army Helicopter killing one Officer.

Feudal Lord Amin Gemayel has demanded guarantees that Hezbolla will not use its arsenal against fellow Lebanese as it did last year.

Gemayel also asked the Lebanese Army to draw a map showing where the Lebanese sovereignty is in Lebanon and where Hezbolla military sovereignty reigns since there are areas in the Lebanon where non-Hezbolla Lebanese are not allowed to enter.

Eternal Speaker and Warlord Nabih Berri is on his way to be re-selected as Speaker of the Parliament for the Nth time since no other Shia dares to run against him.

A wave of fires rages in Southern Lebanon.

Newsweek Magazine reveals that Saudi Arabia has spent $715 Million US Dollars to ensure the reelection of the Majority in the Lebanon.

Israel is shocked by the unexpected meeting between Javier Solana and Hezbolla and the declaration of the former that the later is NOT a terrorist organization. Israel is now demanding an explanation from Europe over this new stand.

The Spirit of extreme extremism continues to prevail in the Iranian, Israeli and Balestinian politics.

Europe recognizes Hezbolla as an integral member of the Lebanese Political system and not as a Terror group. This declaration was announced by the European High Commissionaire for the Lebanon Javier Solana.

Fathi Yakan, Founder of the Lebanese Moslem Brotherhood group which terrorized the Christian Sector of Ashrafieh in Beirut 2 years ago is dead.

Nearly six months after the start of 2009, the Lebanese Cabinet approves the 2009 budget ! And you voted them back in both Majority and Minority !

Both Maronite Christian President Michel Sleiman and Sunni Muslim Saad Hariri reject naturalizing the Balestinians in the Lebanon and both inisisted to US Special Envoy to the Middle East Senator George Mitchell that the Balestinians must all return home to Balestine, known today and 5000 years ago as Israel. The Balestinians in Lebanon will go back to Balestine when pigs start flying and when the Lebanese reject their feudal system.

Lebanon is expected to see a high influx of tourism this summer.

Flash News = A technical problem prevented a 200gr bomb letter from blowing-up as it was delivered to the Lebanese General Security Services, equivalent to the FBI in the USA. The bomb was diffused and is seen to be a direct message from the Mossad against the Lebanese Security Agency after the later has succeeded in arresting dozens of Israeli spies and agents working in the Lebanon in the past few weeks.

Cardinal Sfeir states publicly that had the Minority won the elections, we would be governed by Syria and Iran today.

High tension prevails in the Southern Sunni Muslim city of Saida where the daughter of mini Feudal Lord Ossama Saad has been attacked by certain thugs.

The Parliamentary Block headed by Minority Chieftain Michel Aoun has reached 27 members, making it the second most powerful body within the Lebanese Parliament after the Hariri March 14 alliance.

It is reported that Syrian proxy Feudal Lord Sleiman Franjieh is setting-up a new residence in Baabda to be closer to the action.

Lebanese Forces Warlord Samir Jaajaa is said to be targeted by the Israeli Mossad: Believe it or not! This news has been reported by Jaajaa's deputy Antoine Zahra to the Al-Akhbar Daily.

Other sources even report that in addition to Jaajaa, Saad Hariri and for some reason Fares Boueiz are also targeted by Israel.

Most signs indicate that Majority Tycoon Saad Hariri is headed to become the next Prime Minister.

Minority Chieftain Michel Aoun is demanding 7 Ministers in the new cabinet if it is comprised of 30 members.

What sort of a country and leaders do we have:

After having voted for Sleiman over a year ago, today Aoun questions President Michel Sleiman if he has any National Program for the country so that he can support him.

On his part Saad Hariri and after attacking the military arsenal of Hezbolla during the election campaign, has declared that he supports the weapons of Hezbolla ! ! !

Less than 48 hours after the 2009 Elections, Foreign interferences in the Lebanon continue as usual. Meanwhile Political and Religious Feudalism remain the Masters of the Scene and the Lebanese continue to be Sheeps in the hands of their Lords. . .

Majority Tycoon Saad Hariri is expected to meet with the Minority Fuhrer Dr. Hassan Nasroulla.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak states that Israel is not comfortable with the US supplying Army Surplus equipment to the Lebanese Army.

The Official results of the 2009 Elections are 71 Seats for the US Coalition and 57 Seats for the Syrio-Iranian Axis.

Focus has shifted to the Presidency of the Parliament and on the New Cabinet.

Behind the door talks are taking place to see who will be appointed Speaker and who will become the next Prime Minister.

Even though Minority Chieftain Michel Aoun lost big time in the Christian Beirut district of Ashrafieh and in Zahleh, he managed to increase the number of his parliamentary block from 20 to 25 Seats thus making him the strongest Deputy in the 2009 Parliament.

Congratulations to Lebanon for a Job well done. R A P I O extends its congratulations to Interior Minister Ziad Baroud as well as to the Lebanese Security Apparatus.

Most agencies are announcing the winning of the U.S. backed coalition in the overall elections with around 70 votes for the West and 58 Votes for Iran.

A very tight race to call. So far, The U.S. backed coalition has won the Christian district of Batroun , the the Sunni Muslim districts of Saida and Tripoli and the Druze fiefdom of Chouf and Aley while the Syrio-Iranian coalition has won the Christian districts of Jezzine, Jbeil, Kesrouan, Baabda and Zghorta.

The tight race has been in the Christian districts of Ashrafieh, Zahleh and Metn.

As for Hezbolla Land like South Lebanon and Baalbeck, no one dared to run against the Hezbolla and as such, it won uncontested.

The biggest loser is Shia Muslim Speaker of the House Nabih Berri.

Today is D Day for All of Lebanese. Will it be the Republic of Lebanon or the Revolutionary Republic of Lebanon to say the least? 24 hours separate us from the Truth till the 2009 Elections results are announced.

Independent Observers await to see what will happen to the National Leader Michel Aoun if Hezbolla wins the Elections. Will Aoun remain in full force or will he be absorbed by the Iranian led coalition.

All Eyes are on the Christian Areas of the Lebanon where real democracy exist whereas in the Muslim regions, most, if not all seats have already been appointed by either Hezbolla or the Hariri Clan.

The tight race in the Christian areas is expected namely in Ashrafieh and the Metn Districts.

Less than 24 Hours to Cast Your Votes. Last Chance for a Free 10,452km2. It is Now or Never. Forget Feudalism - Forget Clergymen - Think YOU - Think YOUR Familiy - Think YOUR Country.

Reuters News Agency confirms 3 cases of the Swine Flu in the Lebanon. One asks: How can a foreign news agency reveal such information while the Lebanese Government is absent minded about it and did not inform the Public about this crucial health care issue? Next question: Is the Lebanese Government planning to do anything to prevent more cases from entering the country via the Airport or Syria?

Independent Observers note that ALL the Israeli Spy cells which have been exposed so far in the Lebanon were established by the Israeli Mossad, Sayeret Matkal, Aman and Shin Bet during the years of the Syrian Occupation of the 10,452km2.

In counter accusations, the Kataeb Party of Amine Gemayel asks Aoun for the reasons Aoun does not bring-up the the Suspects who tried to assassinate him in Cyprus.

It should be noted that in both cases, ONE Party stands behind the killing and attempted killings and that Party is the Syrian Social National Party also known in Arabic as the Al-Hezb Alqawmi Al-Souri Al-ijtima3i.

Majority Tycoon Saad Hariri states during his election campaign that while the "Majority thinks Lebanon First, the Minority thinks Lebanon Last".

As expected, Hezbolla denies Der Spiegel's accusations that it stands behind the assassination of Rafiq Hariri.

In a live TV Debate on LBC-TV, Majority Candidate Sami Gemayel wipes the floor with his counterpart in the Minority Deputy Ibrahim Qenaan in a most arrogant way. Gemayel left Qenaan sinking in the tons of papers he had brought along to the debate and kept him on the defensive all the time.

For some unknown reasons and after all this time, today, German Newspaper Der Spiegel writes that Hezbolla and NOT Syria who has planned and is involved in the assassination of PM Rafiq Hariri.

It is expected that Lebanon will encounter the highest number of Media coverage in the World News between June 6 and June 8, 2009.

Should Hezbolla win with a Landslide, Lebanon can become a 2nd Hamassesstan subject to blind, and uncontrolled bombardment by Israel blessed by the West, similar to what is happening in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip after Hamas had won the elections in Balestine.
