there is some contradictions between the post above and her
earlier posts .....
below is her post on August 4 2007,it was the time of the metn
by-elections :

Pity Lebanese Democracy and vote:

In the war of words "under the belt" a lot of citizens are searching for a last resort to avoid the Christians this Christophorus burdon of the power greed of the great empires and the blood split between Shiites and Sunnites to conquer the realm. Even the Korean war and the Chinese longing to democracy is carried on the shoulders of the Metnist.
Are the Metnists predestinated to carry the cross to Golgotha, to Mount Lebanon?
Why can't this war be carried in Beirut :Oum El Shara2i3" The "Mother of Law"?

The elections will happen and in all cases it will be a great loss for the Christians who preach that they understand and implement DEMOCRACY!
Is this happening on the media democracy or driving the country from war of words to war of guns?
General Aoun I advise you to resign, you have infringed all "principles" you talked about:
- You allied yourself with a gunned guerilla troup of terrorists
- You preach on political correctness of speech and you go under the belt
- You long for Democracy but you refuse the votes given to Pierre Gemayel (May he rest in peace) in 2005 and you do not recognize the seat for the Phalangists
- You abuse the word Democracy to put your tents and nawar in the capital city which lead to the unemployment of 10 thousands of people because of your understanding for Democracy
- You loudmouth Democracy but do not recognize the votes of the Lebanese in 2005 who voted for the Cedar Revolution, for Liberty, Souvereignity and Independence. You, Mon General NapoleAoun want us Lebanese to sink in a neverending vicious circle of demonstrations paralyzing the country because you do not respect the others and provoke them not to respect you.

Summa summarum, my vote goes to the Feudals, at least they did not deliver us to the Syrians, nor to the Israeli or Palestinian.
My vote goes to President Amin Gemayel, just to tell the dictator that I refuse to have Hafez El Aoun cheering with the Baathists and SSNP in my 10452km2!

I don't want to add to her misery but prior to 2009, she worked with
the pro-government pro-14 feb National news agency
and in 2009, they stopped paying her.

I wonder why they stopped paying her. Did Hariri run out of money?
I disrespect puppets.
Joumana was not a puppet. She called the shots as she saw them. It takes courage to admit you were wrong.
I respect people that believe in a cause even if it was not mine.
Joumana has passion and conviction. I respect her for her leadership. She’s a free thinker not a follower. We are not here to judge others but to accept those who come around and express their honest visions.
Does anyone doubt Joumana was faking her emotions by daring the top dogs.
She’s in jail for God sake.

no one knows why they stopped paying here, that's the point. may be
they wanted to get rid of the excess baggage. they do have an army
of journalists, you know. i am not saying that she should rot in jail, i do
support freedom of speech and i am not looking for revenge, there are
people on this forum who said/still saying things about Aoun even
worse than what she wrote back in 2007. i am only thinking that
everyone should stand by her IF she is not involved in something illegal,
that's all, because no one knows the details of the relation between her
and her previous employer(s).
