Lebanon’s Kataeb Party leader Sami Gemayel urged the country’s Shi’ite community to rise up against Hezbollah, arguing that the terrorist group has effectively taken the population hostage and that breaking its control is necessary as Lebanon pursues negotiations with Israel.

Speaking to a delegation from the Lebanese Press Editors’ Syndicate, Gemayel said he considers the Shi’ite community to be among Hezbollah’s victims and has sought ways to encourage a separation between the population and the group.

Gemayel said he approached Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri about engaging with Shi’ites on the issue, but Berri quickly shut down the discussion. Berri is closely allied with Hezbollah, and commentators have suggested that support from the group has assisted him politically.

L’Orient Today reported that Gemayel characterized the Shi’ite community as being held hostage by Hezbollah and said there should be an “intifada,” or uprising, against the group.

His remarks come as Lebanon continues negotiations with Israel aimed at ending the conflict. Gemayel supports the talks, which have resulted in efforts to disarm Hezbollah. The terrorist group opposes the negotiations and has said it will not give up its weapons.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has reported movement in the negotiations with Israel. The Lebanese presidency said Aoun “updated the government on positive progress in negotiations with Israel regarding the border issue.”

The discussions also concern “the prisoners’ issue,” involving Lebanese detainees held by Israel.

Aoun said that “Washington will work to address the ceasefire issue and the pilot zones,” according to the presidency.

Separately, violence continued in southern Lebanon on Saturday. An IDF soldier was moderately wounded by shrapnel while conducting operational activity in the area, according to the IDF Spokesperson.

The soldier was taken to a hospital for treatment, and his family was informed.

Lebanon later reported that a drone strike in the Kfar Roummane area of southern Lebanon wounded two people.

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
