Hezbollah rearms with fresh Iranian cash Hezbollah has spent three months preparing for a possible new round of fighting. The new twist: tens of millions of dollars from Iran for weapons, on top of the $200 million for displaced families which the US disputes. Lebanese security sources say the group is procuring explosives and producing drones that can be flown into Israeli positions, using the lull in hostilities since Jun⁠e. Hezbollah is also restoring command-and-control structures that broke down in key battles, including Bint Jbeil and the Ali al-Taher ridge. What to watch: I guess the next move will depend on whether a US-Iran escalation reopens the Lebanon front which I believe it will Brace yourselves @LBpresidency @nawafsalam @youssefRaggi @DrSamirGeagea @NadaHamadeh @realDonaldTrump @SecRubio @netanyahu @MOSSADil @fmakhzoumi @MorganOrtagus @FMNSOULII @FheiliIbrahim @YaredPierre @WaelChehab1 @SecureSocialMe2 @eTiquities @eli_bar_on @AviJorisch @AviKaner @rachelehrenfeld @NewSamawal @ChuckDBrooks @DanielLubetzky @davidschenker1 @PhillipSmyth @robsatloff @Levitt_Matt @marklevinshow @HagarChemali @ryanmauro @AliKhalife5 @mdbarakat @hadimourad1 @maherkombarji @MarcoSuid @habeebhabeeb @MariamKesserwan @nancy_lakkiss @JohnHajjar6 @HarbTom @faboujamra @Naji_Hayek @GermanosPeter @PhilippeBustros @EddeRoger @bilarakib @GuyNohra @josephwehbeai @TonyBouloss

Netanyahu seems to have achieved one of the greatest victories of his political career, even if he did not secure 61 seats. If the end result is a win for Netanyahu, I believe the first consequence will be a strike on Iran in a matter of only a few days. As to if he does not secure 61 seats (and regarding Lebanon in particular), it would be a mistake to believe that Netanyahu's departure would automatically lead to a change in Israeli policy. Border security in the north, Hezbollah's arsenal, and confronting Iranian influence are issues that enjoy broad consensus within Israel's security establishment, even if politicians differ on the means and timing. The prime minister may change, and diplomatic language may become less harsh, but Israel's security doctrine will not shift merely with a change in the parliamentary majority.

The Art of the Deal President Trump boasts that he’s made deals that will bring some $20 trillion of capital investment into the U.S. This is likely an exaggeration, but even if we use conservative estimates, that giant sucking sound you’re hearing is the United States attracting investment from the rest of the world. Even after adjusting for inflation, the capital inflows are multiple times higher than in previous years. These trillions of dollars of investment are a big bet by foreigners that Trumponomics is pro-growth and the U.S. has the most favorable climate for profits. Tax cuts, deregulation, and pro-business policies are luring capital for new manufacturing, construction, infrastructure, housing and technology. It just goes to show that capital always flows to where it's treated best. Do you hear that Lebanon? And if you don't believe me, ask the Brazilians. @LBpresidency @nawafsalam @youssefRaggi @DrSamirGeagea @NadaHamadeh @realDonaldTrump @SecRubio @netanyahu @MOSSADil @fmakhzoumi @MorganOrtagus @FMNSOULII @FheiliIbrahim @YaredPierre @WaelChehab1 @SecureSocialMe2 @eTiquities @eli_bar_on @AviJorisch @AviKaner @rachelehrenfeld @NewSamawal @ChuckDBrooks @DanielLubetzky @davidschenker1 @PhillipSmyth @robsatloff @Levitt_Matt @marklevinshow @HagarChemali @ryanmauro @AliKhalife5 @mdbarakat @hadimourad1 @maherkombarji @MarcoSuid @habeebhabeeb @MariamKesserwan @nancy_lakkiss @JohnHajjar6 @HarbTom @faboujamra @Naji_Hayek @GermanosPeter @PhilippeBustros @EddeRoger @bilarakib @GuyNohra @josephwehbeai @TonyBouloss

With the threat of a new regional war looming, we at ALEF usalef.org/ issue an unequivocal warning to Lebanese leaders: The time for procrastination is over. Washington’s patience is wearing thin and the Lebanese politicians starting with President Aoun and Prime Minister Salam are still stalling and playing games. Time to step up to the plate. Enough is enough. The state has already decided to prohibit Hezbollah’s military activities. The remaining question is whether it will enforce its decision. Waiting for Hezbollah to develop a sense of responsibility toward the people it has repeatedly endangered gives the party time to preserve the very capacity the government says it intends to dismantle. The fear of civil war is real. Hezbollah’s ability to exploit that fear must end. Each postponement tells the party that threatening Lebanon works and teaches Tehran that its remaining investment still buys obedience. No amount of money can restore the old Hezbollah. Enough political hesitation can still allow it to drag Lebanon into a new disaster.

American authorities have prepared a lengthy list of individuals whose names could gradually be added to sanctions lists. Information deliberately allowed to leak by American officials suggests that the sanctions could target political figures outside Hezbollah, including individuals in the Lebanese government who do not belong to the Shiite community. Lots of heads are coming to roll. Stay tuned to the final list to be published soon I warned you. No one wants to listen.

Here’s why we lost the Congressional elections: -Iran war -Diesel prices -Gas prices -Housing prices -Food prices Here’s why America is not over: -We control the White House -We control the Supreme Court 6-3 -We control the Executive branch (DOJ, FBI, DHS, ICE, HHS, State etc) -We control the military -We have the biggest right wing, independent media machine in history that now has a true enemy to fight thanks to Elon Musk -We have free speech on the internet If we fix most of the reasons why we lost, we’ll do a lot better in 2028.

Rubio warns Beirut: Israel won't sit still if Hezbollah backs Iran US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told President Joseph Aoun that Israel will act if Hezbollah resumes supporting Iran, and could try to link the south of the Litani River to its north. That follows earlier Rubio messages on the seized Dahr al-Baydar explosives, where he told Aoun that returning them to Hezbollah "should not be open for discussion." Speaker Nabih Berri passed the message to Hezbollah, which replied through intermediaries that Iran does not need the party's support. What to watch: Whether Rubio's warning is a pressure tactic or a preview, and how Hezbollah's "Iran doesn't need us" line holds if talks between Washington and Tehran stall. Brace yourselves for a major escalation.

It is high time to realize folks that attempting to disarm Hezbollah solely through military means is unlikely to succeed, and will not result in the kind of stability and prosperity that would ensure sustainable peace in Lebanon and the region. What is needed is a domestic approach through which the state reasserts its authority over the whole of Lebanon. That includes tightening control of financial channels and ports through digitalized customs and cross-state cooperation over smuggling networks. The domestic approach needs to be coupled with the gradual return of the state’s presence in Beirut’s southern suburbs, the south, and the Bekaa through government-led reconstruction and the provision of essential services and credit. A “military only” approach to disarmament focuses on restricting and erasing these systems, while a domestic approach looks into how other institutions, governmental and otherwise, could provide credit, compensation, reconstruction, and basic services to secure the consent and approval of an increasingly alienated constituency of people. Time for this government to step up to the plate and stop pontificating with no results... Short of that, expect the unexpected but then don't come back crying saying you haven't been warned time and time again This circus has to be and will be stopped once and for all.

Time To Face Reality You went into a closet, pulled a curtain, and picked between a red elephant and a blue donkey, and somehow you think you're in charge of the government? Look at how it works. In the US you get two options. Two. They walk out of the voting closet chanting “I'm in charge, I'm in charge.” No, you're not. Both parties in CONgress get their donations which are bribes/ payoffs from the same lobbies. There is no real difference. The left-right system just marches you toward total tyranny while keeping you hopeful that the next batch of puppets will save you. And the MAGAs? Tell them Trump “ended eight wars” and they'll repeat it like little repeaters. Forget about AI taking over the world and turning people transhuman; the artificial brain slaves have already been brain-drained.  Now look at the banking dominoes. Paraguay's central bank shut down Ueno Bank, one of the biggest banks in the country, and froze the money of 3 million customers… roughly 60% of all adults in the entire country. Salaries, pensions, savings: frozen. No apps, no cards, no ATMs. Even $380 million of the state pension fund is stuck inside. And, it's not just Paraguay.  AI-agent hackers hit 200+ organizations across 14 countries in just 11 days.  The European Central Bank had malware planted on its websites.  Belgium's finance ministry got hit. Nine South Korean banks were targeted since late September.  In France, more than €118 million was pulled out of Crédit Mutuel and converted into crypto before its app went down and every transfer was blocked. This is all happening on top of the macro reality: Decades of money printing, all papered over with debt instead of allowed to collapse. Most banks are insolvent right now. I've said for years the next collapse is going to be unbelievable, because we're carrying decades of debt. What's happening in Paraguay is coming everywhere. Salaries, pensions, savings, gone. Meanwhile, the markets had a temporary relief bounce. Crypto bounced after the blue donkeys took CONgress - defying the usual red-team/blue-team pattern.  Weren’t the red elephant team the pro crypto side? The Dow rose 1,000 points going against the normal pattern where the blue donkeys are seen to be anti-market. How do they keep the whole charade running? Professional disinformation tactics: * Projection… accuse your enemy of exactly what you're guilty of.  * Name-calling… scream “conspiracy theorist” until people are afraid to ask questions.  * And, manifestation; because if you get millions of people focusing on something, it'll actually happen.  Stop voting for your slave-masters. The exit isn't a voting booth, it's self-reliance, precious metals, crypto, etc.... It's understanding the greatest scam on the planet… the central banking system and fiat currencies… and positioning yourself before the collapse wipes out everyone still inside the Matrix.

The whole world is progressing while Lebanon is going backwards with more bureaucracy, more regulation and more inertia than ever Figure this out... Banque du Liban (BdL) has once again raised the withdrawal limits under basic circulars No. 158 and No. 166, which allow depositors to recover some of their dollar deposits frozen by banking restrictions in place since 2019. Beneficiaries cannot again immediately withdraw the additional amounts in cash but may use them for bank card payments at point-of-sale (POS) terminals. Not only has any depositor can recover any of their monies stolen but now they are being more restricted than ever to withdraw any money Rather than reemerging as a sovereign state and vibrant economy, the country is clearly sinking back into its familiar pattern of a state without real sovereignty that is riven with corruption, unable to effectively determine its own fate or to protect its own people. This President and his Administration has proven to be one of the most incapable and most pathetic Presidents the country ever had. No vision, no strategy, no fiscal policy, no accountability, nothing.... and this Parliament of puppets led by thug and con artist Nabih Berri leading the pack has clearly given up its role and is only concerned with the status quo Go figure @LBpresidency @nawafsalam @youssefRaggi @DrSamirGeagea @NadaHamadeh @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @SecRubio @netanyahu @MOSSADil @fmakhzoumi @MorganOrtagus @FMNSOULII @FheiliIbrahim @YaredPierre @WaelChehab1 @SecureSocialMe2 @eTiquities @eli_bar_on @AviJorisch @AviKaner @NewSamawal @hahussain @ChuckDBrooks @DanielLubetzky @davidschenker1 @PhillipSmyth @robsatloff @Levitt_Matt @marklevinshow @HagarChemali @ryanmauro @AliKhalife5 @mdbarakat @hadimourad1 @MarcoSuid @habeebhabeeb @MariamKesserwan @nancy_lakkiss @JohnHajjar6 @HarbTom @faboujamra @Naji_Hayek @GermanosPeter @PhilippeBustros @EddeRoger @bilarakib @GuyNohra @josephwehbeai @TonyBouloss

Now that the midterm elections are over, what's next? Let’s take a deep breath think clearly for a bit. It was only six years ago that the entire world was in the throes of the Covid insanity. In the US, lockdowns, media hysteria, mask mandates, business closures, etc. had everyone stressed to the max. Then came the “summer of love” with “fiery but mostly peaceful” protests. People were called cave men and white supremacists for expressing a different opinion. Cancel culture prevailed.....And in the midst of all that was the presidential election of 2020. Now, I will never believe that 81 million people voted for Joe Biden and his basement campaign. But I do believe that most of the people who did cast their ballots for him were realistically voting for peace and quiet. People were sick and tired of the hysteria, the screaming, the chaos. They just wanted calm. And the voters’ sole mandate for Joe Biden was to not be Donald Trump. That’s it. The guy basically had to do nothing for four years so everyone could take a breather. Instead, Biden (or whoever hijacked the presidency) decided to play the second coming of FDR. He spent trillions, wrote climate fanaticism into law, went woke on everything, and hosted trans women who saw fit to expose their chesticles on the White House lawn. Republicans came in with an equally simple mandate in ‘24: end the woke insanity, close the border, and above all else, bring down the cost of living. Pretty simple. And, they did accomplish some of that. But they also chased away Elon Musk— the one guy who was trying to cut spending (and hence inflation). Then they passed a “big, beautiful” bill that added trillions to the debt. Rather than tackle high prices, excess spending, or deregulation, they decided to launch trade wars across the world. This upended global commerce and set off a chain reaction that led to foreign countries dumping their US Treasury bonds. Interest rates skyrocketed as a result. Best of luck buying a house these days. The colossal mistake, of course, was Iran. The merits of the war are debatable, but the war itself has been prosecuted poorly. There’s an old expression in the military: you can’t be a little bit pregnant. You’re either at war, or you’re not at war. And if you truly ARE at war, you’re all-in....But this conflict with Iran has been in a bizarre in-between state for months. It’s no longer a war, it’s a quagmire. Today, the economy feels sluggish and expensive for two reasons: there’s far too much business regulation, and far too much government spending. And until politicians deal with those two inputs, nothing is going to improve. My expectation is that the Left will fall flat on its face trying to bring prices down, and voters may very well thrash in the other direction again in 2028... desperately seeking to fix a [rather simple] problem that no one can seem to understand.

For the record.... Too often, discussions about Lebanon and Israel have been framed as a choice between Lebanese sovereignty and Israeli security. That is a false choice; a sovereign Lebanon and a secure Israel are mutually reinforcing objectives. For Lebanon, this means continuing the difficult but essential work of strengthening national institutions, restoring public confidence in government, and ensuring that the state alone exercises legitimate authority over the use of force. For Israel, it means recognizing that long-term security will ultimately be achieved through the emergence of a capable Lebanese partner committed to enforcing its sovereignty, and disarming and diminishing the influence of Hezbollah. So far no such partner exists @LBpresidency @nawafsalam @youssefRaggi @DrSamirGeagea @michelmoawad @CamilleDChamoun @JohnHajjar6 @cheyennemawad @HarbTom @SecureSocialMe2 @bilarakib @sakr_arz @robertgrabil @Fakhravar @TonyBouloss @WaelChehab1 @ShadyBZoghby @NewSamawal @LebEmbassyUS @nadinebarakatlb @NadimKoteich @RonFarra @GermanosPeter @EddeRoger @habeebhabeeb @JowelleHowayeck @MatthewZweig1 @robertgrabil @YaredPierre @AviKaner @eTiquities @lebaneseflare @Yassine_Ahmad1 @RicardoRKaram @fmakhzoumi @wabousleiman @saleh_machnouk @thebeirutbanyan @davidschenker1 @makramrabah @Hayat_Arslan @LinaHamdan2023 @monicaslim @AliKhalife5 @FheiliIbrahim @SehnaouiAntoun @Yassine_Ahmad1 @yinyang_cn @USAF1119 @SecureSocialMe2

Lebanon's Bank Bosses Wired $1 Billion Abroad While Freezing Your Deposits While Lebanon's banks locked more than a million depositors out of their savings, the chairmen and board members of those same banks were quietly wiring their own money abroad. Now, for the first time, the judiciary has the names — and it wants the cash back. The Financial Public Prosecution, led by Judge Maher Chaito, has so far received responses from six banks via Banque du Liban Governor Karim Souaid — and the transfers from those six alone exceed $100 million. With 60 banks in Lebanon (46 commercial, 14 investment), the total could approach $1 billion once all responses arrive. About 60 individuals have already been summoned — roughly all board members of the six banks that responded — and the prosecution says it has legal authority to seize funds from anyone who delays or refuses. Bank lawyers are already floating a defense: what their clients did was "legal, even if unethical." The prosecution's counter-move would convert the recovered "fresh" dollars into mandatory reserves at BDL, with dollar-equivalent credits issued back to the bankers. What to watch: Whether the remaining 54 banks comply or mount a political lobbying campaign against the prosecution — judicial sources say both scenarios are live. @LBpresidency @nawafsalam @youssefRaggi @DrSamirGeagea @michelmoawad @CamilleDChamoun @JohnHajjar6 @cheyennemawad @HarbTom @SecureSocialMe2 @bilarakib @sakr_arz @robertgrabil @Fakhravar @TonyBouloss @WaelChehab1 @ShadyBZoghby @NewSamawal @LebEmbassyUS @nadinebarakatlb @NadimKoteich @RonFarra @GermanosPeter @EddeRoger @habeebhabeeb @JowelleHowayeck @MatthewZweig1 @robertgrabil @YaredPierre @AviKaner @eTiquities @lebaneseflare @Yassine_Ahmad1 @RicardoRKaram @fmakhzoumi @wabousleiman @saleh_machnouk @thebeirutbanyan @davidschenker1 @makramrabah @Hayat_Arslan @LinaHamdan2023 @monicaslim @AliKhalife5 @FheiliIbrahim @SehnaouiAntoun @Yassine_Ahmad1 @yinyang_cn @USAF1119 @SecureSocialMe2

Dear Friends, Supporters and Sponsors I hope this finds you well. I wanted to reach out personally and share with you our latest. The American Lebanon Education Foundation usalef.org/ is launching a new project in New York: the ALEF Youth Sovereignty Academy. The goal is simple. Give Lebanese American youth and the broader NYC community the knowledge and leadership skills they need to stand for a free and sovereign Lebanon. That means workshops, digital learning modules, and practical civic education grounded in transparency, rule of law, and merit. We are raising $35,000 on Crowdfunder to launch the first cohort. Crowdfunder as you know is fee-free, so every dollar goes to the program. What Your Support Makes Possible....With $35,000 we will: • Develop a complete, values-based curriculum and digital learning modules • Host 6 to 8 high-quality workshops and community events in New York City • Produce professional educational video content accessible to the global Lebanese diaspora • Provide materials, certificates, and modest support for participating youth • Measure impact and publicly report results with full transparency Why This Matters Now Lebanon stands at a crossroads. The Diaspora is one of its greatest remaining assets. Educated, organized, and values-driven young leaders in cities like New York can help shape a different future: one based on sovereignty instead of domination, transparency instead of corruption, and merit instead of sectarian allegiance. ALEF has already built a significant research capacity, launched a speaker series, and engaged policymakers. This Academy turns education into action at the community level. If this mission matters to you, here is how you can help: 1. Donate what you can and 2. Share the page with 2 or 3 people who care about Lebanon Campaign page: ALEF Youth Sovereignty Academy crowdfunder.com/p/alef-youth… With determination, American Lebanon Education Foundation (ALEF) 445 Park Avenue New York, NY 10022 @LBpresidency @nawafsalam @youssefRaggi @DrSamirGeagea @michelmoawad @CamilleDChamoun @JohnHajjar6 @cheyennemawad @HarbTom @SecureSocialMe2 @bilarakib @sakr_arz @robertgrabil @Fakhravar @TonyBouloss @WaelChehab1 @ShadyBZoghby @NewSamawal @LebEmbassyUS @nadinebarakatlb @NadimKoteich @RonFarra @GermanosPeter @EddeRoger @habeebhabeeb @JowelleHowayeck @MatthewZweig1 @robertgrabil @YaredPierre @AviKaner @eTiquities @lebaneseflare @Yassine_Ahmad1 @RicardoRKaram @fmakhzoumi @wabousleiman @saleh_machnouk @thebeirutbanyan @davidschenker1 @makramrabah @Hayat_Arslan @LinaHamdan2023 @monicaslim @AliKhalife5 @FheiliIbrahim @SehnaouiAntoun @Yassine_Ahmad1 @yinyang_cn @USAF1119 @SecureSocialMe2
