Michel Hayek: 35 Percent of Lebanese Politicians Resort to Fortunetelling
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Fortuneteller Michel Hayek revealed that some Lebanese politicians have started to base their actions based on predictions he made for them, reported As Safir newspaper on Tuesday.
He told the daily: “Over 35 percent of politicians resort to fortunetelling.”
“The consultations are held in secret as some of the officials want to keep the issue private lest the media exploit the matter,” he explained.
“Our society still considers fortunetelling as a sign of weakness or backwardness,” Hayek said.
Hayek has been practicing fortunetelling for 25 years and he has forged relationships with politicians over these years, adding: “Predictions play an essential role in political life in Lebanon.”
It has become tradition in the past few years for Hayek to make a televised appearance each year to make predictions for the New Year.

Unfortunately, they are all "dajjaleen" like you, so it is like "Tanjara wla2it gataha".
As to the great lebanese people (l sha3b l lubnani l 3adeem), I am speechless!! It seems their arrogance and ignorance has topped the charts!! People who spend their New Year's Eve listening to dajjaleen like you do not deserve any better!
Kama takounoun youwalla 3alaykom!!

“Our society still considers fortunetelling as a sign of weakness or backwardness,”-- one of the few things our society is getting right!

This just goes to prove how truly sick we've become. If a fortune teller who does tenfold more internet research than all of us combined could keep people glued to their TV screens during New Year's eve during all his silly predictions, then it truly means we need to seek professional medical advice. The same can be said of the now truly laughable approach used by other Lebanese TV stations, who it seems cannot elevate themselves above insulting the intelligence of the people, or is it a fact that it's truly too late for us?

I remember very vividly and very clearly this man predicting before the festive season began, that there will be another explosion at a mall, but thereafter business will boom. ??!! Thank goodness this did not happen, but what are our politicians still doing seeking advice from people like him who are making us look sillier by the year? Can we please wake up?!
