Patriotism in the most elementary sense of the term (the word derives from the Latin patria or “fatherland”), suggests the loyalty that all citizens owe to their country or nation. Therefore, I am a Lebanese Patriot

600 Million Dollars of Iranian Cleansed Money to its Allies in Lebanon
Based on a French Member of Parliament (source), Iran has spent 600 million dollars to make sure its allies in Lebanon will win the election next spring.
وكشف النائب الفرنسي النقاب ل¯ "السياسة" عن ان المعلومات الفرنسية تتحدث عن ان ايران "رصدت منذ شهر اغسطس الماضي مبلغ 600 مليون دولار بهدف انجاح حلفائها وحلفاء سورية في الانتخابات اللبنانية النيابية المقبلة وانها ابلغت هؤلاء ان لا سقف لدعمها بهذا الهدف تحقيقا لتسلم النظام الجديد في بيروت على انقاض النظام الديمقراطي القائم".
واكد البرلماني الفرنسي ان هذه الاموال الايرانية المرصودة للانتخابات اللبنانية "بدأت بالفعل تصل الى "حزب الله" لتوزيعها على حلفائه واتباعه, وان السفارتين الايرانية والسورية المزمع افتتاحهما خلال الاسابيع الثلاثة المقبلة, ستضطلعان بالقسم الاكبر من الحملة التي ستبلغ ذروتها في فبراير المقبل لتعبيد الطريق امام جماعاتهما للسيطرة على الحكم في لبنان عبر تلك الانتخابات اذا حصلت".
The scary part is if they do not win the election, how far are they willing to go? Sorry for using the adjective "willing" and associate it with Iranian and Syrian dogs in Lebanon.

Syrian Troops Enclosed Lebanon
Is this in good faith to implement UN 1701? Or, they want to do another stupid mistake in invading Lebanon?
Another question, why that map from Debka shows Iranian flag next to the Syrian troops? What about the Saudi flag up north?

Iranian "Cleansed" Money to Aoun
Based on some Iranian sources, General Aoun has achieved the following from Iran:
- 30 Millions dollars for election campaign expenses
- 10 Millions dollars for OTV (yearly).
- 400 members of FPM will be trained by Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
- FPM spies will be employed by the Minister of Communication Gibran Basil to monitor the "other" Lebanese.
Good for you ya General.... Now you are an official dog for Iran.

Russian Navy in Tartus
DEBKAfile’s military sources disclose that a powerful Russian naval contingent, led by the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov , left Murmansk on the Barents Sea Aug. 18 to dock at the Syrian Mediterranean port of Tartus Saturday, Aug. 23. It includes the Russian Navy’s biggest missile cruiser Moskva and at least four nuclear missile submarines.
Task force with Flag ship aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov (52 aircraft, 15 support ships and submarines) deployed at the Syrian port of Tartus.
Guided Missile Cruiser Moskva
Moskva (easily recognizable by the unique battery of sixteen SS-N-12 Sandbox surface to surface missiles sited on both sides of the ship. It was designed primarily to take on American aircraft carrier battle groups.
One thing to note that the fleet was before in port of Sevastopol (Crimean area of Ukraine). Ukraine charges Russia $93 million per year for using the Sevastopol base, and Ukraine keeps demanding more money. Bashar al-Assad does not charge the Russians for using Latakia and Tartus, nor does he charge them for water or electricity.
What is the meaning of this step? Is it related to Hezbollah movements in North Lebanon?
There are a lot of dots to connect in here....

Could You Believe This Guy?????
Aoun: We must know who sent the military helicopter to the place where it came under fire (link)
Aoun issued what he described as “formal request,” to the army, asking them “to tell us who directed the military helicopter to the place where the shooting occurred. They must tell us who gave this order and what was the mission.” He said his party wanted to know what the guiding principle of the flights over these regions was, especially since they are zones where the UNFIL and the Resistance were present. “Accordingly, we can tell the mother of Capt. Hanna why her son was killed and who killed him.”
Am I reading this right? Is he asking who gave a Lebanese Officer a permission to fly over a Lebanese soil?
To refresh our memory, check out the map of the deployment of the UNIFIL forces
By the way, Soujod is north of the Litani river. And even if it was in the zone of the UNIFIL, they do not prevent the Lebanese helicopters from flying over there. And, they do not shoot them!

Hezbollah and Akkar Invasion Plan
Some sites (Link, Link) were reporting that
حزب الله" ينشر قواته في جرود عكار ويطرد اهالي القبيات من الشنبوق وكرم سباط
المعلومات المتوافرة من مصادر عدة، تؤكد ان وحدات عسكرية تابعة للحزب احتلت مواقع عسكرية لها في اعالي جرود عكار وتحديدا في منطقة الشنبوق التابعة اداريا لمدينة القبيات المسيحية في شمال لبنان ووصلت في انتشارها الى الكنيسة القائمة في تلك الناحية، استعدادا لأقتحام عكار على محور القبيات – البيرة – وادي خالد ومنه في اتجاه قرى السهل العلوية. في حين انتشرت قوات معززة بالصواريخ والاسلحة الثقيلة في منطقة كرم سباط المشرفة على بلدات فنيدق ومشمش استعدادا لأقتحام عكار على محور فنيدق – مشمش نزولا في اتجاه حلبا.
واستنادا الى الخبراء العسكريين من ابناء المنطقة فأن خطة الهجوم هذه التي اعدها "حزب الله" تؤدي الى سقوط عكار بين فكي كماشة من الشمال والشرق لتنحصر المواجهة عندها في محيط مدينة حلبا والتي يستعد الحزب السوري القومي للاخذ بالثأر لضحاياه الذين سقطوا في حلبا ابان احداث السابع من ايار، وتتحدث معلومات امنية عن نقل مجموعات من مقاتلي السوريين القوميين الى عكار استعدادا للمعركة الفاصلة التي تنتظر التوقيت المناسب والقرار السياسي واعداد الارضية اللازمة، وهذا ما يتولاه النائب ميشال عون من خلال حديثه المتكرر عن اعمال تسلح في عكار، اضافة الى الحملة الاعلامية التي تشنها "قناة تلفزيون الجديد" للايحاء بوجود حركات سلفية متطرفة في عكار لتبرير الهجوم على المنطقة واقتحامها.
واكدت مصادر مطلعة ان انتشار "حزب الله" تأكد بالعين المجردة ومن خلال مشاهدات يومية ينقلها من يستطيع الوصول الى الشنبوق وكرم سباط في خراج القبيات. حيث شوهدت تحصينات مموهة ومتاريس واليات دفع رباعي ومقاتلين يرتدون زيا عسكريا موحدا .

That is scary... If this happens, many massacres will be the results. It will be another crazy adventure of Hezbollah.

For You We Did The Last War
Mr. "Divine Victory" (A.K.A Hassouna) has admitted that he did the last war for the release of Mr. Kuntar.
So again, just a reminder about the cost of 2006 war:
- 1200 civilians dead
- billions of dollars in damages
- 4 more prisoners in Israel
All of that equals the release of Mr. Kuntar.
Do not misunderstand me, I am not against his release. But, I think we could have done in a very different way.

What's Next for HizbIran (A.K.A. Hezbollah)?
Internally, Johnny Abdo mentioned on Bikol Jeraa that HizbIran’s plans are to make sure that they have majority (over 2/3) in the next Parliamentary elections. He mentioned that, like Iran, they would not allow their opponents to exist.Three possibilities in here:
- Taken over Lebanon - HizbIran will take over Lebanon. He will be exactly like his Syrian masters before in Lebanon. I think that they have the capabilities to spread on all Lebanese territories. But they cannot last in any position other than their own territories (most of the South, parts of Bekaa, Southern suburb of Beirut). They have no manpower to be able to be everywhere like the Syrians before. The Syrians had in Lebanon 14,000 soldiers . And on top of that, Lebanese people feared them. So fear and quantity (not “quality”) helped in controlling Lebanon. HizbIran does not have that. HizbIran has 1,000 full-time members, along with a further 6,000-10,000 volunteers . HizbIran’s strength is in militias’ kind of battles and not traditional warfare techniques. So, they are not trained to take over positions and keeping them. And it will be against their tactics if a war is to happen with Israel. This possibility is a suicide for HizbIran.
- Status Quo - Keep everything as-is even if a government is formed. Fighting will erupt from time to time in different areas while HizbIran is expanding its network and military presence in most of Lebanon. Election will happen under the influence of the guns maybe it will lead to the third possibility.
- Iranian Style Election - HizbIran will push March14 leaders outside of the country or will assassinate them. In any way or form, HizbIran will make sure that they will not be able to nominate themselves for election. And if they did, HizbIran will make sure that they are not elected. HizbIran and company will be the only winners.
