Hello again,

I think you sent me message before.

The http://www.umacr.org/ is mine and I'm the creator of the UMACR
organization, but actually it's doesn't exist in real life, it was just an
idea and a message to tell people what the refugees need. I found the
pictures that you asked me about on the net, I think it was on refugees.org
and I felt it expresses our situation as refugees. I used the black plastic
in my life to put my things and cloths when I move and I used the blanket in
the jail and in the army when I was in Iraq before. This picture effected me
much and the feelings in the eyes of the child from behind the fence always
bring tears to my eyes, I lived these feelings and even today and even when
I write this message. I think this picture shows more than the pictures used
by the UNHCR. Please feel free to ask me what you like.

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you soon.

Well, brother, I have been doing a lot of reading about the Middle East
lately and America's involvement which is not good. I have been seeing how
America supporting Israel is not good. I am a Christian and do a lot of
writing about Christian things. I have been seeing lately that God is going
to involve Lebanon and Syria in a positive way in the future. Mount Lebanon,
in the Bible speaks of this. So I have been trying to get political
information regarding Lebanon and Syria.

As far as your internet involvement, are you saying basically that you did
all that writing 6 years ago, have left it up and basically have done
nothing during all this time?

What do you hope for your future? What are you trying to do? How old are
you? Are you still trying to escape? Can you go back to Iraq?

The url for http://www.umacr.org/ is still up. So do you pay each year for
the domain? If you are not doing anything with it, why keep it up? Do you
correspond with a lot of people via internet? Do you have any writings on
your computer which you have not posted? Speaking of computers, what are you
using? Do you have your own? Thanks, Gary

Dear brother Gary,

The political situation here is open for any possibility but I don't think
it'll be much worse since the Lebanese tested the civil war before and they
don't like to be in its fire again. Every thing depend on USA and Israel and
how they'll push in the future to eliminate Hizb Allah, I'm watching and I
hope it will not be worse than it's now.

About me, I can't return to Iraq now for many reasons, one of them because
of the UNHCR and the UN, I'm afraid that they'll try to stop me like they
did here in Lebanon before with police. Now I'm 42 years old and I hope to
find some where save in Europe, if not I prefer to stay here because I'm
save in my place but the problem I don't work now.

About my sites and the Internet, I think you mixed between the dates of my
life and the dates of my sites! I started to use the Internet as I'm doing
now directly after the 11SEP attacks on USA. That event opened my eyes on
many things and changed me completely. I registered my first domain name
unhcr.us on 2002 and the umacr.org on May6-10-2002. I wrote the about me
page last year. I'm using my sites for many things like showing may pages,
help people to download my ebooks and also in my campaigns via yahoo groups.
I don't pay for the sites because I don't have credit cards to pay online,
but I have friend who lives in UK helping me in that and the UN sent here
treats to stop her from helping me, this is another reason prevents me from
going back to Iraq.

I'm working on new article about the UNHCR and I hope to finish it soon but
the time isn't enough now. I'm using used PC PIII, I bought it with help of
my friend in UK and it's helping me much now, but I use the net shops to
access the net.

I hope I answered you, please contact me again if you have any question.
I wish you nice time and the best in your life.
Peace upon you.

So what do you do all day? How do you eat since you have no job and you say
you are not getting UN aid? Are you free to walk around since you go to net
shops. Are tourists from the West save in Lebanon? I'd like to go on top of
Mount Hermon one day. Are people in Lebanon free to climb this Mountain or
is it strategic and therefore dangerous. I may have asked you before. What
is the percentage of population between religions in Lebanon? What group(s)
have been driven out during the civil war? What are your religious beliefs
presently? Have they been the same all your life? Peace, Gary

Dear Gary,
I'll try to answer your question briefly:

"So what do you do all day?"

SAM- Working on PCs in my room or in the shop.

"How do you eat since you have no job and you say you are not getting UN aid?"

SAM- if you're asking about money, since 2002 when I lost my work because of
the UNHCR, I lived without work depending on financial support form friend
abroad. I'm spending now nearly $100 per month.

"Are you free to walk around since you go to net shops?"

SAM- I can go everywhere if the police or the army don't arrest me because
I'm illegal resident. Mostly they used moving checkpoints on the main
streets to check cars. I need to be careful when I leave my area and go to
another area via car. I don't have problem with that because I don't have
work so I don't need to leave my area and use cars, some time I spent months
without using car. I mean by car ant transportations method like taxies or
buses. I love walking and I crossed Beirut walking many times. Before I use
bike to move around. I know Lebanon now very well and I can avoid
checkpoints and that kept me save all these years. When I was working before
I used to live in the place where I'm working to avoid using transportation.
The big danger for us as illegal residents in Lebanon is public buses and
taxies.

"Are tourists from the West save in Lebanon?"

SAM- yes, never I heard that some thing bad happened for any tourist in past
11 years of my life in Lebanon. Tourists are good financial income for the
Lebanese so they care about them a lot.

"Mount Hermon one day. Are people in Lebanon free to climb this Mountain or
is it strategic and therefore dangerous. I may have asked you before. What
is the percentage of population between religions in Lebanon? What group(s)
have been driven out during the civil war?"

SAM- I don't know where is mount Hermon. And I can't give you correct
answers about the other questions but you can search the net for correct
answers, sorry. One thing, the Lebanese and any one have legal residency in
Lebanon able to go to any place in Lebanon.

"What are your religious beliefs presently?"

SAM- I'm Moslem.

"Have they been the same all your life?"

SAM- yes.

Thanks

So you are now a PC technician working for yourself in the cave? Why don't
you go back to Iraq now?

No, I don't live in the cave now, I left the cave at the end of 1999 (last
century) when the army tried to arrest me but I escaped by a miracle. Now
I'm living in shared rooms with other Iraqis. I'm not PC technician, I'm
human rights activist using the Internet as field for my activist and the PC
is my tool.

I can't return to Iraq because to avoid the persecution of the UNHCR and the
UN and maybe another parties. I feel that if I'll return to Iraq I'll finish
in Abu grebe or with built in my head! I'm afraid that the UNHCR will try
what they tried with me before in Lebanon but with American tanks in Iraq.
There are more minor reasons but I don't have the time to discuss them all.

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you soon.

I'm afraid I really don't understand your situation and you don't make it
very clear. Perhaps you could write an article explaining to everyone. You
seem to give the UNHCR and UN a lot of power that I do not see. The UN does
not own Iraq nor Lebanon. But you make it sound almost like you are refugee
FROM the UN, as if they are out to get you. I don't understand this. I can
understand them being mad at your ads on line, but tough. When you connect
the UN with American tanks, you sound like a crazy person. Here in America,
the UN is almost considered an enemy to the USA. The American governments
usually do NOT like the UN. So to me and to most Americans, when you make
statements like that, you make yourself not credible in our eyes. I hope you
understand that. If you want to reach people in the USA, you must get out of
your mindset and get into ours. Remember, Americans are brainwashed by
propaganda everyday on television. You must know what they are being fed if
you are going to try to undo their brainwashing. Understand?

Dear Gary,

You're right; my situation is very confusing even for me! Some time I don't
believe myself and don't believe that what happened with me is true. I tried
to explain must about my station in my writings but I fell strongly that I
need to write more. There are a lot in my head but I don't have the time to
write it. Now in my head there are many articles, one of them has this name:
'War of truth' it's about the war that the UN declared on me and I'll show
many documents and I hope that'll help people to understand more about me
and my situation.

"You seem to give the UNHCR and UN a lot of power that I do not see."
They have a lot of power against the helpless people like me and like the
refugees, but they don't have power on Americans just for example. They
excluded me from the help that the community providing for the refugees and
they asked the government of the Lebanon to arrest me. The can do the same
in Iraq, they can just ask the American or the new Iraqi government to
arrest me because they can claim that I compose a threat for them, exactly
like they did in Lebanon before and I have official document from the
government stats that they arrest me upon request from the UNHCR because I
interrupted the work in the office via sending them emails!!! It's hard for
me or for any one to understand how sending emails to an office belong to
the UNHCR speaking about the problems of the refugees could interrupt the
work in the office! This is their work to look for the problems of the
refugees and what I sent in my emails is articles about our situation as
refugees living in Lebanon. I didn't send them invitation to look for my
sexy pictures!!! I'm sure that they'll do any thing, not only the UNHCR but
also the UN itself and I also have official documents from the UN stamped
with the UN's logo on paper sent to my friend in UK via formal mail.

"When you connect the UN with American tanks, you sound like a crazy person"

Yes, that what I myself think, it's craziness, when the police arrested me
in the office of the UNHCR and investigated me; they released me in my place
where I live in the same day. But after one month a punch of the police and
the army raided my place (the company that I was working for and live in), I
wasn't there but a friend told me about. There were 3 officers one of them
was major general and there was 3 cars full of policemen and solders. The
people in the place were astonished because this was very big force and not
normal. Here in Lebanon the Lebanese have much pride in front of the
foreigners and it's not usual to send such force to arrest in Iraqi refugee
just because he use the Internet. The force was from the security of the
government, which is the top security forces in Lebanon, and it's job to
protect the government top persons like the president and the ministers.
People are afraid of that force. If the UN successfully pushed this higher
authority to send me that force to arrest me so they can send me the higher
authority in Iraq if I'm living in Iraq. And who is the top authority in
Iraq now?! The American tanks!!!

"Here in America, The UN is almost considered an enemy to the USA."

Yes, I heard that a lot, but I'm not politician and I just a humanist. I
care about humans as humans not as governments or parties. Your government
has problem with the UN just because your government has only 1:15 of the
UN. We all know that the governments like to have all the power in its hand.
I hope you'll understand the idea.

I care about humans, not only about Americans or Arabs or any other
nationality and I'll not wear other dresses. I just have my humanity and I
like to deal with the others humanity not with their nationalities,
religions or parties. If they'll not accept my humanity I'll not accept
their politics.

I'm happy to discuss these subject with you and more topics if you like, but
I'm busy with other work and I hope you'll understand if I'll be late, I
respect others opinion as I respect mine. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks

You speak of your plight as a refugee. What do you know about the
Palestinian refugee problems? Are you a spokesperson for them also? If so,
what have you done? Thanks ,Gary

There are 2 organizations belonging to the Un and working with the refugees, the first one is the UNHCR and the 2d is the ANRWA. The ANRWA is working only with the Palestinian refugees. UNHCR is working with refugees from other nationalities. The Palestinian refugees don’t like to resettle out side Palestinian and that make their problems different from ours. I’m working to improve the performance of the UNHCR, I don’t have any experience with the ANRWA, and I’m spokesman of nobody.

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you soon.
