Lebanon was the only Christian-majority nation in the Middle East.
It's where I was born.
We prided ourselves on inclusivity. Always welcoming Arab Muslim refugees from all over the Middle East.
We had the best economy despite having no natural oil. The best universities.
They called Beirut the "Paris of the Middle East" and the Mountains of Lebanon was a tourist destination.
My early childhood was idyllic, my father was a prosperous businessman in town and my mother was at home with me, an only child.
Slowly, the Arab Muslims began to become the majority in Lebanon and our rights began to wither away.
Soon, we would find ourselves unable to leave our small Christian town without fear of being stopped and killed by Arabs. In Lebanon your religion is on your government issued ID.
As the war intensified and the radical Islamists made their way south, my home was hit by an errant rocket and my life was forever changed.
We spent the next almost decade in a bomb shelter, scraping together pennies and eating dandelions and roots just to survive.
If it was not for Israel coming in and surrounding our town, I do not know If I would be here today.
Lebanon is now a country 100% controlled and run by Hezbollah. I lost my country of birth.
I thank God every single day I was able to immigrate to America and live out the dream that BILLIONS of people only dream of having.
Now here in America, my adopted country that I have come to love so much, I see the same threats and warning signs happening now that took place in Lebanon when I was a child.
This is my warning to you, America, reverse course now while you still can.
It's not too late to save our freedom and preserve it for the next generation.
Iran invites Israel and the US to a new war in the Middle-East. Taking the bait will accelerate the inevitable decline of the bankrupt US Govt. Imagine US wars in Ukraine, Iran and Taiwan simultaneously + North Korea attacking the South. A coordinated geostrategic checkmate. #WW3
Understanding the Hamas attack on Israel:
Iran is aiming for a confrontation with Israel and the US. The success of Russia in Ukraine is encouraging Iran to undo decades of hostile US foreign policy in the Middle East. A bankrupt US Govt has just been invited to another war.
The timing is opportunistic. The US Govt is forced to print trillions of USD as it struggles to raise new debt. Another war would lead to a significant increase in inflation and an accelerated economic decline of the US.
If Iran mines the Strait of Hormuz the global energy crisis would become critical. The Biden administration has used the majority of US oil reserves to stabilize domestic oil prices. Iran can increase the pain for the US Govt significantly.
Ukraine is turning into a major defeat for the US and NATO. A new front in the Middle East would accelerate the US decline. The US Govt and its western partners simply cannot afford it. Russia and China would benefit most. Iran understands this and is playing into the hands of its partners.
After a phone call with the main stock exchange in ๐ฉ๐ช Germany (Frankfurt):
Trading has been suspended due to "unclear information" on $AMC and $APE.
According to the statement, this designation is often used when the settlement of the shares is affected.
Also, but less often, when corporate actions are pending.
At the moment it is not known when trading will resume.
Guys:
Please take screenshots of your accounts / holdings for safety and also document the fact that you cannot trade. Just in case.

META isn't blocking anyone from accessing anything, they're simply not hosting links to those sites on their own site any longer in order to comply with new legislation imposed by the Government of Canada.
As was widely and loudly predicted when this bad law was first revealed.
