This should not be happening to bloggers and journalists. I repeat what Gino said and I also ask the Lebanese Judicial System, and the cyber crimes office as well, to put some faith in journalists, bloggers and activists and prevent such cases from occurring in the future.
All the support to you bro!
Read the full story [Here]. Al-Akhbar covered the story and [Maharat] as well.
Wake up. Get a serious-sounding call from a 01. Officer quickly introduces himself and summons me to their offices next day at 10:00AM. Asked repeatedly what for, all I got was “just be here at 10″ and could barely get directions to the bureau. An hour later, technical glitches at IDM and Cyberia made access to the blog via these providers impossible. So, you can imagine the uneasiness I was feeling about the interrogation that followed what at first seemed to be yet another block of my blog after the one in December.
Of course, I knew I had done nothing wrong. Over 4 years on the blog have taught me how to avoid slander and libel (kad7 w zamm) in my writing. As for any other crimes, the only thing I could think of was my criticism of bad practices by the ISF that could land me in that seat (despite my fair-handed writing of when they do good as well).
Turns out it was a slander and libel complaint filed by Bonofa, the people behind Cube 7, by a person I never met or heard of before. It was an article I wrote back in July, that you can find here, and check for yourself that there is no slander in libel (as per more than one legal advisor). [Link]
Thank you bro. Much love to you.
All the Support for you Gino, i just went to your blog … it is a good one, i will start reading old stuff 😛
What a mafia state! Keep it up Gino. Screw them.
these guys are a mafia … My friend tried to convince me to join the Cube 7 for I will gain quick money … But after reading just a few minutes I discovered that it’s all about selling a product that don’t even exist … It’s a hierarchy where they try to invite members to join and when you convince sm1 to join , you’ll get a commission … This is complete fraud !! I had enough awareness not to join this clique.
can we go say crap on their dead fb page? >:D or will be loaded into the paddy wagon?
who are the people behind this Cube 7? these people are ridiculous!
One of the people from bonofa contacted me through linkedin and told me they are recruiting and they are interested in me if i want to join to schedule a meeting but it was so mysterious they dont give details about what it is they dont say anything they just tell u to come watch a presentation or meeting. i noticed a friend on fb is a part of it so i asked her what it is and she wouldnt say anything all they say is just come watch the meeting or talk to this guy if your interested he will meet with you and explain. i lost interest.
Hi Guys,
Sorry for what happened to you bro, you have all the right to say what you said.
it is a well formed and very organized propaganda, sorry for the long post, but i detailed what happened with me:
my cousin invited me to Royal hotel,he didn’t say what for, he just said it was a surprise, come and see, so i went hoping it was a bar gathering have a drink chill out something like that. when i got there, there were around 200 people all suited, well dressed etc…my cousin paid like 30$ to get me in and my GF, but in the first 5 seconds of the presentation i realized what was happening, and i was so furious, the Guy giving the presentation is young stud doing pre-med, public health etc, fun and funny guy too, so basically they gave him a good background, the presentation is motivating for people who don’t know or don’t have immunity on bullshit especially this kind where the presenters are relating FACTS to ASSUMPTIONS in a very smart way and that they have a combination of products unified under CUBE7 , making you believe they are right , they know what they are doing and indeed the future is now. If you are uneducated or a bit away from business nowadays or not a TECHI, you will fall for it… that i am sure of. Those guys are dangerous, they ripping off people that are desperate to make money, not that there is anyone who doesn’t want to make money, but the way they persuade you is very well build. At first after the presentation (note: the host gives lots of credits to partners who bought in and make you believe they did something extraordinary) is finished the the guy who invited you try to convince you by telling you he’s making alot of money now bla bla bla and the money you pay to buy in you get the amount in .ComCredits that you can spend within Cube7… when? nobody knows… , if you don’t buy in, he makes you bump into some of his friends who at their turn give it a shot.. still not in? well we have our “MR.” conversational wizard (the guy giving the presentation, who all seem to fear him) .the GUY will say, promise, do anything to put you at ease. After an hour talking to this guys, he got a bit angry after i gave him an existing free solution to every product he is proposing and him trying to convince me that their system is not a pyramid schema eventually he tried the reserve psychology with me by saying that the product is gonna BOOM soon with or without you.
There is no way stopping those guys, all we can do is spread the word, and those changes strategies really fast, like from now on the partners won’t invite you to conferences anymore, but in a way they convince you to go the office and after you will attend the presentation.
so please keep on spreading the word, the presentation i attended was yesterday.
