Jumblat Says Lebanon Ruled by 'Black Operations Room'

W460

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat charged Wednesday that the country is being ruled by what he called a “black operations room.”

“Day after day, it becomes more and more evident that the country is ruled by a black operations room that rejects any reform and has plans for further impoverishment with the aim of gaining more control,” Jumblat tweeted.

“As if the construction of a tunnel between Beirut and the Bekaa is more important than reforming and modernizing the electricity sector and ending the deficit,” he added.

“As to negotiating with the International Monetary Fund, it is prohibited with the aim of facilitating hegemony over what's left of Lebanon,” Jumblat went on to say.

No Mr. Jumblat Lebanon is ruled by a bunch of war lords such as yourself that don't give a Sh$t about Lebanon and only carry about filling there own bank accounts. I pray the day comes where all of you are held accountable and put on trial by the criminal court. You have no shame ...

They are not Black Ops Room. They are Black Shirts.

So the so called government managed to vote for the following;
1. Lebanese Gov’t Just Voted Against Stopping Bisri Dam’s Works
2. Lebanese Gov’t Just Voted Against Removing Banking Secrecy
3. Lebanese Gov’t Just Voted Against Holding Early Elections
4. Lebanese Gov’t Just Voted Against Lifting Immunity From Ministers, Making It Harder To Hold Legally Accountable...
And none of this is reported on Naharnet

Talk is cheap---unalign from kzb, amal and fpm and show some cajones otherwise all is this talk is for naught. If Jumblatt and Geagea withdraw from M8, then they don't have a majority of seats any more. Maybe start talking about that, and don't align with anyone permanently.

Mr Jumblat : we urge you to conduct a constructive opposition, for the sake of the people of Lebanon, not to favour rhetoric and special interests, as you have been doing to date !

Give couple days he will be singing a different tune. He always changes his mind. I never trust third this guy.

He says he wants reform, yet him and his party are against any form of privatization of state assets, the essence of reform. I dare anyone ask him why he's against privatization with government oversight. I'll give the answer, He's a socialist. Socialist do not believe in private enterprise, they believe in government.

Lately I've been watching former Minister Charbel Nahas on various talk shows. He pretty much nails what the issue with this country. if you get a chance look him up. He was on Al-Jadded and then saw him on LBCI last night.
