The Tough Choice

The Future Movement is in quite a dilemma after authorities at the Beirut Airport caught over two tons of heavy drugs with a prince from Al Saud.

It's no secret most of the money of that political party comes from the Kingdom of ISIS (I mean Saudi Arabia). Even its political party chief, has the nationality of the head-chopping, crucifying "kingdom". Just like most of Hezbollah's money comes from "charitable" Iran, which would explain why both teams are so thirsty to steal our money for the garbage crisis. After all, Saudi is too busy funding a war on Yemen and terrorist groups, and Iran is too busy doing the same, so HA and FM are cash-strapped it seems, which is why they insist on keeping the garbage on the streets till we cave and give them our money.

Here, the FM crew in power faces a huge problem: do they succumb to their foreign handlers and financiers, or do they try to maintain just a tiny, microscopic inkling of integrity in front of their constituents?

Lebanon's Horrific Track Record

Lebanon and its human-rights abusing ISF are monsters when it comes to drugs. The cash-hungry, corrupt and inept ISF cannot do anything to fight real crime on a daily basis. Murder, rape, theft, violence are all things the tawouk-loving, bribe-worshipping cops run away scared from. But, when it comes to entrapping, falsifying evidence, torture, coerced confessions and lies, you'd think they're a joint FBI-CIA strike force, using cutting edge technology and foreign training to crack down on university kids who allegedly smoked a joint. Why? The money.

They make a loooooot of money. Bribes, "incentives" from foreign countries to "fight the war on drugs at the source" and the list goes on and on. The rude tawouk-lovers usually say "if you don't like it, change the law", but the law has been changed, and drug users should be taken to the addiction committee and given medical attention, not treated as criminals and put in jail cells for weeks and months before ever seeing a judge (in hopes the cops can milk the kids' parents' money enough before they're released).

It is also the main reason a lot of Lebanese utterly despise and dread the ISF. It's true the gray-camouflage wearing thugs don't get an inkling of the respect and admiration our Army does, but that's because the army rarely assaults, tortures and humiliates taxpayers. The ISF on the other hand, those three things are like their mantra.

The Deal

Since we know how corrupt you are, and that pressure from the ISIS kingdom won't stop, and you need the petrol money they send, and since we know that your approval ratings are lower than the qualifications of your police officers, let's propose a deal:

• You can release the Saudi prince/drug lord, ON ONE CONDITION:
• You may no longer, ever, in history, arrest a Lebanese taxpayer for a lesser charge.

This means, that if a Lebanese person is caught with anything less than 2-tons of drugs, you can't milk him for bribes. But hey, we're honest folks, not drug dealers, and most Lebanese would never touch the kind of drugs the Saudi prince was smuggling, so, let's just keep it for marijuana. NO LEBANESE TAXPAYER from now on will ever be tortured, illegally arrested, evidence "fabricated" against them (Tamam, Google "fabricated" before you think it's just another floating garbage video), ever.

It also means that Lebanese people with actual drug addictions, will be given the necessary medical treatment, not thrown in jail to wait for the bribes to come in.

Fair Deal

If you want the Saudi favor and money to keep coming, you need to give up on the illegal income you make from taxpayers' bribes. Sounds like a fair deal, right? Given how we're almost all broke, not sure you'd make enough money from our bribes and by blackmailing us. Saudi will have petrol for a few more decades though, so that's your safer bet.

You get to please your foreign handlers, and we get back our rights and stop being assaulted by people we pay to serve and protect us.

Don't Care What Your Opinion on Weed Is

I know the conservatives will have a heart attack reading this, but the cops don't go to your home and beat and arrest you for abusing a much worse drug: alcohol. Nor does anyone make you spend 4 weeks in jail for smoking cigarettes indoors in a public space. So, why should pot smokers be subject to that? No one is forcing you to smoke it, but it's none of your business what other people want to do on their own time in their own homes. They pay the same taxes you do, and have the same rights as everyone else. Worst thing? Is that the law actually forbids the incarceration of pot smokers, so it's not just wrong ethically and breaking human rights, it's also breaking our own fucking laws.

Releasing Saudi Prince = No More Punishing Pot Heads

I hope you'll take the right decision!
