Something I shouldn't have missed yesterday:

On March 16th we remember and mourn a hero who stood against the Iraq war and invasion and who died defending Palestinians against the Western-backed Israeli war machine.

She was crushed to death by an IDF bulldozer

RIP dear Rachel Corrie

RIP Rachel 🥀
Hezbullah should understand that today is harder than 1997. If they do not become pro-active in Lebanese politics and start taking bold actions, another "Harakat Al Mahroumin" movement will be born and it will scar deeper than that of Sobhi Al Toufayli.

Time is of gold.
Day after day the shia community is growing more desperate and angry. Not against Hezbullah but against his lack of action to face the situation in Lebanon. They have trust.

People need action because with each passing day, the community becomes weaker.
Enemy media (Israel):

The Zionist entity received an official letter from the Hague Court to open an investigation into the crimes committed by the entity.

Lebanon's ex president narrating his story with ex PM Rafic Al Hariri quoting the latter saying:" No, stay away from these communists \[not actual communists], they will tell you start industrial and agriculture projects. They will destroy Lebanon."
Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khaminai told IRGC that it is Hezbullah's Nasrallah that decides and supervises the overall strategy of the axis of resistence.
PM Al Hariri will visit President Aoun tomorrow. Do not expect a government formation as neither have decided to budge or soften their remarks / demands.
Hariri's visit tomorrow is simply to say:" I have a formation, Aoun keeps on refusing it. Blame Aoun."
🦠 The USA, UK and EU once again blocked a measure to temporarily waive patent rules at the World Trade Organization. It would have permitted the manufacturing of generic vaccines in the global South.

American experts suggested to WaPo that China's and Russia's "aggressive vaccine diplomacy" is "striking in our own backyard" by providing vaccines to Latin America. The Biden's administration has likewise focused on countering China and Russia, with (narrow) commitments to Japan, India and WHO's COVAX initiative targeting 20% of vaccine needs in the South. [Obviously, it's not the same as to secure for Israel]

A "global leadership", but not at the expense of lower profits for Pfizer and Moderna. "PhRMA, the leading industry lobby group, spent over $530 million on lobbying and political donations last year."

On Saturday night I will likely open a clubhouse room and will discuss the Hezbullah - Iran relationship in the light of Nahas's recent remarks and some questions asked.

It will be in Arabic and it will involve a general discussion after. Will post the link below when done.
Syrian prisons and what was done there is a crime against humanity. Who oversaw them should be punished.

But you are hypocrite if you do not condemn and act by example against Israeli prisons and American. What was done in those is on par if not more. Enough hypocrisy.
We, west Asia, used to have to deal with few adventurous orientalists who came to study this part of the world. Who actually came here

Today with the age of internet, we have to deal with hundreds and hundreds of them. Most understand nothing, yet their opinion echos everywhere.
LBCI Information: Central Bank governor Salameh did not appear before Judge Ghada Aoun for questioning about the file of money laundering and money transfers abroad, but rather sent his legal representative, lawyer Shawky Kazan, who presented an excuse for his client.
In the weekly justification of the future massacre of Lebanese civilians by Israel:

IDF CoS Kochavi to present to President Macron with IDF maps of Hezbollah targets [similar to Benny Gantz's map], warning that Lebanon will be hit very hard in next war.
President Putin to Biden after 'killer' comment: “I wish him good health”.

Putin definitely understand Biden's state of mid and dementia. He is unfit and a puppet figure for the deep state.
After failing to plant pumpkins and carrots, I finally was able to successfully plant potatoes.

First harvest:
Meeting between Al Hariri and Aoun to start shortly.
