Today
A.C.E is a worldwide High Intelligence Society who's main goal is to educate
people about their mental abilities, and how to use these abilities to improve
the world we live in today. We also help people with mental challenges, and
increase society's awareness in regards to such challenges.
Apart
from the Intelligence branch of A.C.E , there is also a "Pride and
Honor" branch who's main goal is to preserve honor, and pride throughout
all nations and races, by helping them accept each other, and respect one
another.
The other two
branches of A.C.E are the "Silver Cross" branch, which works to
preserve Christian values and beliefs, and the "Free Lebanon" branch,
which increases people's awareness of the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, and the
factions working against the growth and prosperity of a once great nation.
How
It all Started
To understand the purpose of any organization you need to understand the
environment in which it was formed. After undergoing a continuous 18
year war with Israel and Syria, Lebanon which was once the Pearl of the
East' and the central bank for all its neighboring countries was held
back in a time warp. Not able to advance because of continuous bombings
of its main power, water, and transportation recourses, Lebanon became
what is known as a T.W.C. But the Lebanese nation is very strong and
proud, and every time a bomb would fall through the roof of a house a
new house would be built the very next day. Realizing this the enemy
forces started playing on the sensitive nerves of the Lebanese people.
And so civil wars started within the Lebanese community. Being worn-out
by the entire killing and the pain that had been caused by the enemy
forces, every group of people was lead to believe that the other was an
enemy. So no matter what the difference was, it was every group for
itself. Many times brothers would enter a battlefield against each other
because they belonged to different political parties. And the fact that
some countries supported a specific group because of their religion
caused a splitting between the people. Each religion took a side and
slaughters where made in the name of God.
After
the war, many things changed, many people lost their hospitality,
and many lost what was known as `Lebanese Honor'. People no longer
trusted each other and many lacked the purely that once filled every
Lebanese's heart. So for that reason a group of teenagers got together
and decided to form a community in which the old Lebanese culture
could be revived. The name of this community was `A.C.E', which
stood for `Association of Christian Era'. Yet at the time no one
wanted to be part of a group of boy scouts, so for a long time the
group consisted of only 4 people. Then the founder of A.C.E, (G.H.C),
thought if he made this organization seem like a cool secret military
group, many may join and then the idea of restoring purity to peoples
hearts could be presented and if necessary imposed on as much people
as possible. Part of that idea worked, within the first week A.C.E
had grown from 4 to 12 members. Then the idea was presented, and
to several members it was ridiculous, they had joined to kill, but
they where being armed with the bible. So within a couple of month
A.C.E was fixed with only 10 members, and with no new ideas, and
little funding, the group was useless.
But
to the leader of A.C.E, (G.H.C) his organization was very successful.
Sure he wasn't able to change all the evil in Lebanon, and sure his
group was never in the news, and even in the city where it was formed no
one knew it existed. But between its members he was able to establish a
family, a trust, and a true Lebanese society. And if at the age of 17 he
was able to make a perfect society where every member was respected and
honored as a leader, then in the future there is great hope for Lebanon
to return to what is once was. And since A.C.E was originally formed to
give the Lebanese back their true identity, then this Association of
Christian Era was indeed successful.
