Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6

Part 5 was interrupted by the evening news bulletin, and then LBC Europe stopped transmitting a few minutes later.

It seems that the broadcast of the news bulletin started again. I hope that LBC will retransmit Part 5…

LBC is retransmitting the remaining of part 5

Enjoy

I hope you all will be there, this is a very special occasion .. 25 years and it feels like he only died yesterday ..

Bashir Gemayel Avenue … At last !!

Did you ever imagine we would have a Hafez el Assad avenue in Lebanon before having a Bashir Gemayel one ???
It took us 25 years to get this great man an avenue ????

He should have the airport, the seaport, the parliament, every single monument in the country named after him …

This is a compilation of the Bashir 25th anniversay as a president provided by a friend of mine.

False allegations have been circulating for years, on how Sheikh Bashir wanted to install a proxy regime for Israel in Lebanon and on how The Kataeb party is a fascist party and inspired from the Nazis…

There are many other allegations but those i read in a post done by Marxist From Lebanon on Matn elections. The post entitled Regarding Matn Elections: Insanity, Racism, Sectarianism .

I will start with The Kataeb being labeled as a “facist” party.
“Gemayel doesn’t hide it, he belongs to a fascist party (hence the name Phalange). “

The Kataeb were not forged in a facist way and were not inspired from Franco as some say. When Sheikh Pierre came to Lebanon after being exiled in Egypt, they start the Phalanges as a youth party that was interested in sports, and it was inspired from the Sokols, and indeed they kept working as a non-political entity for a quite a while before declaring the Phalanges a party.

As for Franco and Sheikh Pierre’s visit to Nazi Germany, he was impressed more by the organizational structure of those regimes, rather than the fascist ideology, and Kataeb’s original ideology, even though there was not really one, was closer to secularism than fascism.

I will develop further if needed, Sheikh Pierre had a “special” character and he was a bit imposing indeed, but he was loved rather than feared and he as a large group of advisors he listened to, we can debate his politics later on, i dont agree on lots of points, but to accuse Kataeb of being fascist is wrong.

As for Sheikh Bashir and the Israelis, this is a very long topic, but i will resume it for the time being saying Bash was always after a strong relation with the Americans, and was never willing to bow to Israel or any proxy regime, and even though he was capable of doing this puppet regime and ruling Lebanon and its muslims with a hand of steel, he refused and argued with the Israelis and went on his first visit to the KSA later on to prove

This man believes in his country, and believes he could unite his people under one banner, and he died for that idea ..

It was an exceptional event, not too crowded but very symbolic.

Thank you Sheikh Nadim and BG foundation for the organization ..
Thank you Sheikha Youmna as well ..

And most importantly thanks to the Achrafieh people who are still faithful to Bashir and after 25 years are still there to commemorate this day and the 14th of September of course.

Bashir 7ay fina …

(more…)

Its been already 25 years !! yet his name is on every political discussion and on every event or incident ..
A true idol, a true legend .. this is what Bashir has become ..

Even those who didnt know him, miss his presence everyday, one can listen again & again to his speeches and never get bored, never understand how this man managed to do so much with so little, spoke so little but meant a lot …

It was too good to be true .. a dream that evaporated and turned into a nightmare that Lebanon still didnt wake up from.

An event is being organized on the 23rd of August to commemorate the 25th anniversay.
You can find below the text from the BG site.

For Bachir, and with Bachir always.

At 6:00 P.M. the poster will be raised in Sessine, then the crowd will proceed to the Kataeb house in Achrafieh where Cheikh Bachir was assassinated, to pray for his soul.
