The call of Freedom!
UALM – Australia By: Eli Atmé

I would like to state for the record, for the people of Lebanon and for every concerned citizen in occupied Lebanon or in the Diaspora, by means of manifesting my right as a concerned citizen of a group of many, representing of a very much larger group of Lebanese that couldn’t voice there opinion in Lebanon, and if it was possible for all of us to be there, we would have declared the same kind of testimony.

AN ELECTION FREE OF SYRIAN INTERVENTION!

I call on the men of freedom and independence asking where is the leadership of Patriarch Houyek, where are the men of independence and have Lebanon been emptied of the men of change; men who accepted to lose there freedom in turn so we can keep ours and keep it forever. The genuine men of independence tolerated to go to jail or into exile so we can keep our freedom and not give away our country with shame. Our Lebanese martyrs gave there lives willingly when duty called so we can keep ours and not impart it to the neighbors or the so called sisterly country (Syria).

We are asking the free nations represented today in the United Nation UN (remember Lebanon is occupied) what came about of your UN charter announcing full support to all people of man kind. Is it possible that the shouting and table poundings Dictatorships, Monarchies and Totalitarian regimes the one dominating the majorities of your seating arrangements are overwhelming the voices of Justice, Freedom and Democracy in your hallways (merely 9 votes fro the voices of Freedom in Lebanon). Leaving countries like Syria’s to ‘snigger’ and boost it’s ego by claiming that your resolution (1559) was born weak in the delivery and will be "toothless" in the implementation.

The free people of Lebanon calling on you to restore there right in the name of humanity and justice, the free people of Lebanon looking for you to deprecate the voices of evil calling for a referendum over the occupation, what is more they are asking for this referendum to take place under the same occupation that silenced our voices for the last three (3) decades. Since when people make referendums over an occupation army, by which laws or under what rules these criminals would like our people to conduct this referendum to legitimize this occupation.

I would like to talk to you a little bit about the so called election result in occupied Lebanon and would like to assure you and confidently announcing to you from a legal point of view that under the constitution of Lebanon know in our language as the "DASTOUR" it’s illegal what they have made on Friday the 3rd of September 2004, they have turned a process of agreement into a practice of mockery, it is a Black day for our history and likewise it’s a black day for our constitution. All the people of Lebanon concurring to the same anger and sense of betrayal of what took place in the occupied parliament, all too often, Syrian Stalinist security officers interferes in our daily lives by ways of enforcing Syrian policies over our people consequently pilfering our voices.

We saw Lebanese deputies lose there sense of morality as they accepted very coolly after they voted for the re-election of the tyrant (Emile Lahoud), they refused to stand for freedom and democracy, rather they side it with the occupation in the name of "strategic alliances" serving as well as favoring the Syrian interest over the will of people with the justification of being manipulated or coerced into it.

We watched for three (3) decades the Syrian Stalinist Bathisst regime falsifying the very first democracy in the Middle East, in fact they glorified a fixed election result on Black Friday (3rd of September 2004), by given it a full dressing (fireworks, oversized pictures, subservient crowds at the misery palace) to congratulate the tyrant . We listened to empty speeches delivered in the media by the occupation puppets repeating the words of the appointed tyrant talking about (reconciliation) as if for the last Fourteen (14) years of occupation or the tyrant’s six (6) years in office caused them an amnesia with reference to reconciliation, and now only now they remembered what the doomed "Taif" called for and supposedly reconciliation would have been its corner stone.

Now we are told that the Syrian Stalinist Bathisst regime support the tyrant in Baabda in regard to his statement, Fourteen (14) years after the ill-fated "Taif " were signed the travesty continues by doing what? misleading the people again into the same old empty speeches about reconciliation and the stability of the country as if every time the free people of Lebanon who believes in Freedom, Democracy and Sovereignty make a move to free there homeland from occupation and it’s stooges suddenly they represent clear and present danger that require them to accept the condition of the occupation or else…!?

I am sure all of us today understand the Syrian diplomacy and how they do business and to whom his or her memory doesn’t serve them right and they can’t remember, perhaps they need to ask president elect Mr. Bachir Gemayel or maybe the late Sheik Mr. Hassan Khaled or some other political leaders the likes of Mr. Kamal Jumblat or possibly Mr. Danny Chamoun, they all knew what the price for opposing Syria’s Bathisst regime and you know what? Still, they stood tall placing freedom for all before that of there own. Today more than ever we are in need of strong leaders whom they believe strongly in Lebanon in which, they can stare down the occupiers back to their dark and rotten caves.

Each day, in order for us as Lebanese to facilitate the process of change in our homeland we must stand united, speaking the same language declaring to the whole world not only we are supporting UN resolution 1559 voted on in the UN Security Council. As a consequence we are going forward to achieve our goal with an open minds and hands to work with all countries ANY country or organizations that accept truly Lebanon as a Free, Independent and Sovereign State in which, we can deliver the final blow to the occupation and its stooges so we can evict the Syrian occupation army from our homeland and liberated our people from this long nightmare.

Free Lebanon…Lebanon is Freedom!
