Bassil Says 'Corrupt System' Preparing to Seize 'State Assets'

W460

Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Jebran Bassil on Sunday lashed out at what he called the “corrupt system.”

“Usually, in corrupt nations, the people revolt against oppressive regimes, topple them and recover their stolen rights, whereas here the corrupt system has staged a coup against the people and seized their money and is now preparing to stage a coup against the state’s assets and existence,” Bassil said in a tweet.

“To whom can people resort to recover their savings? To the international judiciary? We will talk soon,” Bassil added.

This sub-human talks as if he is the head of the opposition and not that he and his father in-law have been in total control for at least 5 years.

Execute him!

Anything less would be gross injustice.

They all need to be prosecuted. They target this guy and his father in law and protect the ones that have been stealing for 30 years. they need to stop being hypocrites. Don't blame 2 people when the rest are bigger thieves.

WOW!! not sure what to say but this POS is right about one thing when he says “Usually, in corrupt nations, the people revolt against oppressive regimes, topple them and recover their stolen rights" so hopefully his sheep will wake up and revolt. This POS never ceases to amaze me on how he talks from both ends of his mouth... Is he not the one the looted the state? did he not spend over $40B to have electricity 24X7? No electricity and no money...

Aoun, Bassil and the FPM's hypocrisy for all to see, they're whiling to sell Lebanese territory "لعيون صهر الجنرال"

The main reason Aoun is selling out is to secure Bassil will be the next president of Lebanon and the sanctions against Bassil will be removed. Wait and see...

غرّد النائب بيار أبو عاصي عبر "تويتر" قائلاً: "يبقى جبران باسيل خير وريث للوقاحة العونية كيف لفاجر فاشل بدّد المليارات في الكهرباء والاتصالات والسدود ان يدعو الناس للثورة ضد غيره؟".

"Attention turns today to the meeting of the EU Foreign Ministers in Brussels, to see if the Union will resort to implementing its threat and announce sanctions on Lebanese officials it blames for obstructing the formation of a government, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Monday".

Reads the article just posted by Naharnet! Besides the dog that barks doesn't bite, so poor Jebran is seeing his grasp over the state, and his chances of becoming president dim by the day, and cannot do a thing!

the lowlife talks about corruption and he is the one sanctioned for being corrupt himself.

It’s not Basill that’s the problem, it’s his followers. They embody the essence of everything that is bad about the Lebanese, the notion that they are always right, never to back down, and believe that the sun shines out of their ass, when in truth they, the Syrians and the Palestinians are nothing but beggars.
