It is not enough that the
developers and other owners of properties lie to the masses and fool them into
buying.
It is not enough that Iskan, BDL,
and banks provide easy facilities and subprime loans to make it easy for the
masses to buy properties, while they suppress all transparency.
For the real estate scam to keep
working, it is also necessary that buyers be a gullible bunch who believe such
myths like somehow Lebanon is different from other economies, and that the average apartment in Beirut today being $588,000 is
justified even while the per capita income is $7,000. They have to believe the
nonsensical myths that prices in Lebanon do not drop. They have to believe this
stuff for them to allow the seller to fool them into massively overpaying for
this junk.
And this is where we come in. Our
objective is to level the playing field and provide facts and information to
save the Lebanese citizenry from exploitation by these unscrupulous sellers.
"Remember, if you believe
it, it's not a lie."
George Costanza (from Seinfeld)
on how to beat a Polygraph (lie detector).
"And if all others accepted
the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie
passed into history and became truth. Who controls the past controls the future
... who controls the present controls the past."
