US Sanctions on Lebanese politicians - Magnitsky Act [updated list in OP]

[JustLeb]

Are we still talking about whether this is corruption in the US interpretation for sanctions purposes? I'm not trying to defend an abhorrent practice lol. I'm just saying that it's not something the US sanctions over. And it is also explicitly NOT what they said when they sanctioned him.

I don't know if the Americans care about that or not, but I understood (probably misunderstood) that the treasury won't be affected by mass recruitment

Yes, that definitely was not what I meant.

Ok Aoun and Nasrallah are not perfect. But you can't associate them with Berri. For my Rap that you quoted it was only for fun and entertainment.

[NewLeb]

Not at all, except you are blind or ignorant. I am talking here of the genesis of our problem. And it did not start with the Shia. You should know yourself. Know who are the culprits behind such a shameful, backward, discriminatory, racist and apartheid regime. It was not the Shia. In fact, this regime does not represent me as a Shia. It doesnt represent me as a Lebanese, if I choose today, like our brother @SeaAb to stop being Shia or religious and turn atheist. This regime is not democratic. Its origin was not subjected to the approval of the people as a whole. Most Lebanese had no say in/on it. It was a couple or handful of feudal leaders who undemocratcally exercised their power to impose their will on the rest of the country and on future generations. This is an expired regime that has long ago outlived its effectiveness and usefulness. It is time for us to hold a referendum on this regime. This regime is what has led us to every problem you and I complain about. It is incapable, incapacitated, ineffective, ugly, retrogressive, uncivilized to be useful to build a state or take us into the future and secure a country for our future generations. There is absolutely no problem you and I would complain about that the main cause is not found in the ugliness of this sectarian, apartheid, pseudo democratic regime we have in place. We need a democracy and a modern state where the citizen is the kingmaker and not the feudal warlords.

It’s still better than an alternative where the Shiites are the dominant ones. There has to be a middle way.

هكذا نهبوا لبنان.

جردة دقيقة من داخل وزارة المالية ومصرف لبنان بالأرقام الصحيحة والدقيقة تؤكد كيف تآمر رياض سلامة مع رفيق الحريري ونبيه بري وليد جنبلاط وميشال المر والرئيس ألياس الهراوي ونجيب ميقاتي وفؤاد السنيورة وجمعية المصارف على نهب لبنان ووضعه تحت دين لامَسَ المئة مليار دولار ونهب إيداعات المواطنين اللبنانيين التي تبلغ 186 مليار دولار، وأختفت الاموال دون حسيب او رقيب.

القصه بدأت منذ العام 1992 عندما تَوَلَّى رفيق الحريري رئاسة اول حكومة في عهد الرئيس الهراوي، بتسوية سورية سعودية اميركية،

أتى الحريري بمشروع خطير نَبَّه منه الرئيس حسين الحسيني آنذاك، وشدَّدَ على خطورته، رغم أن الحريري أحد عرَّابي الطائف مع الحسيني.

ما لبث ان غادر الحسيني مجلس النواب واستلم الرئاسة بعده نبيه بري ولا زال.

بأوامر أميركية وبتعليمات البنك الدولي وبحسب خطة مرسومة سلفاً ومُحكَمَة ارتفع الدولار
من 2.4 ليرة
الى 3000 ليرة
ثم هبط سعر التداول فيه الى ١٥٠٠ ليرة وتم تثبيته هنا ضمن سياسة مشروع الافقار الذي جاءَ بهِ الحريري ألأب للسيطرة على لبنان ومقدراته ومنع قيامته ليبقى ضعيفاً في ظل اقتصاد وقوة عسكرية اسرائيلية قوية بجواره.

اشترى حيتان المال اللبنانيون كل العملات الاجنبية الموجودة في المصرف المركزي بعد تعيين رياض سلامة حاكماً له على سعر 2.4 وعندما ارتفع سعر الدولار الى 3000.L.L عاودوا بيع الدولار و شراء الليرة اللبنانية بنفس قيمة العملة التي استبدلوها سابقاً فوصل حد ارباحهم بمعدل 1200٪ ثم أصدَرَ سلامة سندات خزينة بالليرة اللبنانية بفائدة وصلت الى حد ال 45٪ وهي تعتبر جنونية لم يسبق لنظام مصرفي عالمي دفعها من قبل!
وبعد تثبيت السندات ثبت سعر صرف الدولار على 1500 ليرة ايصاً تضاعفت ارباحهم بنسبة 100٪

خلال عشر سنوات وحتى انتهاء تاريخ السندات كانت الخزينة اللبنانية قد تم استنزاف 90٪ من موجوداتها ومنذ اول خمس سنوات بدأت حكومة الحريري بالإستدانة من المصارف لتسديد متوجبات الدين العام الداخلي الذي فاقت مداخيل الدولة عشرات المرات.

هذه كانت الخطوة الاولى لرفيق الحريري ورياض سلامة والمصارف وكبار المودعين وواحدة من الاسباب التي افلسوا فيها خزينة الدولة واوقعوها تحت دين عام داخلي وصل الى الاف المليارات، بدأوا بعدها الاستدانه من المصارف ومن الخارج.
أما السبب الثاني هو الهدر من خلال ابرام الصفقات بالتراضي وتضخيم المصاريف والمدفوعات وعجز الكهرباء المقصود والمنظم.

تقاسمت الترويكا وحلفائهم كل شيء النفايات النفط الغاز البُنَىَ التحتية واحد إلك واحد إلي لغاية الآن وما وصلنا اليه.
أما في جردة الحسابات الدقيقة لكل ما جرى سأكشف لكم واحد من اهم اسرار لعبتهم الخطيرة والدنيئة التي استمر بها رياض سلامة مع شركائه حتى بعد رحيل الحريري ألأب وهي على الشكل التالي...

جمعت الدولة اللبنانية ضرائب من جيوب الناس بدايةً من العام 1993 ولغاية 2018 رقماً مهولاً بلغ بالضبط 149 مليار دولار أميركي، وأيضاً أستدانوا خلال نفس الفترة السالفة الذكر من الخارج ومن المصارف مبلغ 86 مليار دولار بالارقام الموثقة الصادقة.
كما يترتب على الخزينة ديون للضمان الأجتماعي. والمدارس. والمستشفيات. والمتعهدين. والمهجرين. مبلغ 15 مليار دولار
أي ما مجموعه : 149+86+15=250 مليار دولار.
للعلم أن كل هذه المدفوعات كانت جميعها بلا حسابات منذ العام 1993.

انفقت الدولة اللبنانية من العام 93لغاية العام 2018 مبلغ 24 مليار دولار على الكهرباء أضف اليهم الجباية التي بلغت حوالي 12 مليار دولار. ولا زالت الكهرباء 12 ساعه او اقل من ذلك.مع العلم ان لبنان يحتاج الى مليار دولار لتصبح الكهرباء 24/24 وتصبح ذات مدخول ومُنتِجَة لكنهم لا يريدو ذلك.
كما انفقت الدولة اللبنانية بدل فوائد للمصارف خلال 26 عام على مبلغ 84 مليار دولار دين للمصارف بذمتها.
دفعت فوائد بلغت 86 مليار دولار.! وكل ذلك بالاتفاق بين رياض سلامة والمصارف ضمن سياسة ممنهجة لنهب الدولة وافقارها وتدمير اقتصادها؟

بالتفاصيل كيف كانوا يفعلون ذلك؟

يقوم المصرف المركزي بالموافقة على قروض مالية ضخمة للمصارف بالدولار الاميركي بفائدة 2٪ طويلة الامد.
تعود المصارف وتودع نفس المبالغ في المصرف المركزي بفائدة 8٪ أي بفارق 6٪ ارباح من خزينة الدولة تذهب هدراً وسرقة مقوننه على طريقة هندسة رياض سلامة المالية كانَ قد استفاد منها كثيرون مثل نجيب وطه ومازن ميقاتي وبعض القضاة والنافذين وابنائهم بينما يئرزح غالبية الشعب اللبناني تحت خط الفقر!
وصلَت مجموع المبالغ التي اقرضها المصرف المركزي للبنوك والافراد الى 32 مليار دولار بفائدة 2٪ اعادوا ايداعها في المصرف نفسه بفائدة 8٪ الامر الذي خَسَّرَ الخزينة 6٪ بلغت قيمتها على مدى 27 عام 70مليار دولار و200 مليون ما يقارب 60٪ من مجموع الإنفاق الحكومي الاجمالي. تقاسموها فيما بينهم ناهيك عن القروض المعفاة من الفوائد والتي اودعوها بفوائد عاليه تدر عليهم الارباح من جيوب المواطنين.

استمر المجرمون حيتان البلد باللعبة والشعب يزيد افقاراً ولم يرف لهم جفن هؤلاء القُساة القلوب المجرمون.

أن 16 مصرفٍ من أصل 76 مصرف يمتلكهم 11 شخص فقط يمتلكون ما يقارب 80٪ من مجموع ايداعات البنوك اللبنانية وذلك بفضل هندسات رياض سلامة المالية المرسومة سلفاً من البنك الدولي بهدف تجويع وتركيع لبنان.

أضف أن شخص واحد من بين المالكين للمصارف الكبرى ال 11 يمتلك 51٪ من كل ايداعات البنوك اللبنانية بمفرده وتبلغ عدد افراد الأُسر المالكة ال11 حوالي 200 شخص يعمل 5 ملايين لبناني واقتصاد دولة بكاملهِ لخدمتهم كعمال وعبيد.

غالبية الشعب اللبناني يرزح تحت خط الفقر ونسبة البطاله تجاوزت ال 33٪
وفي كل عام يزيد العجز بالموازنة حتى وصل الآن الى 15٪.
وعندما كنا نسأل عن الوضع النقدي كان يتحفنا رياض سلامة بأن وضع الاقتصاد اللبناني جيد والليرة بأمان. في كل مرة كان يخدرنا ونحن لا نستفيق وكل ذلك بفضل حكامنا واحزابنا

Since 2009 GMA started asking for forensic audit back when no one until recently understood what that means.

As soon as GMA took office, he asked to remove Riad Salameh but was immediately threatened that the LL will immediately collapsed if he replaced Salameh because of his special relationship with the World Bank and the IMF. In other words, Salameh is an asset and a foreign agent.

As soon as Diab complained about Salameh’s lack of cooperation with his government, Diab came under attack by the known mafia starting with Berri and ending by Rai and got fired shortly after. Dorothy Shea also made it clear that Riad Salameh is doing a good job and must stay.

If we go back few months before the start of the so called revolution, Salameh’s meetings at BDL with US envoys were intensified and discrete… He kept on lying about the depositors’ monies and the health of the LL. The rest is history.

They forgot to include Amin Gemayel’s name on the above list of thieves who used the exchange rate manipulations and made millions. Don’t be surprised when Rai and his predecessors show up with skeletons in their closets if the forensic audit took place.

And here they tell us Bassil is corrupt and GMA didn’t do anything to stop a mafia protected by the US Super Power and Saudi Arabia.

By the way, anyone so far heard from Rai mentioning Bassil during Sunday mass the way he mentioned and defended Riad Salameh by setting red lines?

Riad Salameh is a cancerous implant in Lebanon’s sick body. He’s protected internally and externally with an ironclad. The only tool the President has left is imposing an emergency marshal law and let the chips fall where they may. The patient is dying anyway.

How naive.

Mr. Trump didn’t lose. As you have probably noticed in the recent elections, America has become a banana republic, and that’s directly related to the fact that the country is becoming less politically dominated by the white man, hence all the election fraud and irregularities.

That’s why Democrats and leftists want to bring in as many third world immigrants as possible. Since America is controlled by Jews, the latter are always anxious about powerful white men in power. They prefer loser frauds they can easily mange like Biden.

That’s why the Jews don’t fear a Lebanon politically dominated by Shiites. The real threat is the Christian community, who they have been successful in gradually destroying. As we know, Christians built Lebanon, the Shiites just blow things up.

There has to be a middle way!

Didnt Trump promise to MAGA? How did America become a "banana republic" under him? Isnt that his failure to bear responsibility for?

The demographics of the country were already backed in the cake by the time Trump was first elected President. As you can see, the major areas of voter fraud and illegalities occurred in corrupt and Democrat inner-cities. These places are known for their high number of minority peoples.

And yes, Mr. Trump certainly did make America great. He made it so great that even Mr. Nasrallah himself called the Trump administration the worst in American history. When it’s coming from the Sayyed, I’ll take that as a badge of honor.

You think those Shiites in Dearborn voted for Biden because of American values? No, they voted for him because they want to bring the rest of their 50-member family into the country. The Jews are laughing to the bank....

You even questioned election results in Republican dominated or governed states. You are as retarded as Trump most times. Racists are a turn off.

Are you white man or a wannabe white man?

So you do concede that Aoun and Bassil are not wrong in their strategic positions to preserve the christian community (and therefore Lebanon )
