Samson: Al-Halbousi accepts the resignations of the Sadrist bloc’s deputies
12th June, 2022
The Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Muhammad al-Halbousi, approved on Sunday the resignation of the Sadrist bloc's deputies, shortly after a directive issued by al-Sadr to his deputies in this regard.
Al-Sadr said in a statement, "This step is considered a sacrifice from me for the sake of the homeland and the people to rid them of the unknown fate, as we sacrificed previously for the liberation of Iraq, its sovereignty, security, unity and stability."
Al-Sadr, who completes the sides of the "Save the Homeland" triangle (the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the Sadrist Bloc, and Sovereignty), had threatened last Thursday to remain in the opposition or to withdraw completely from the political process, unless a "national majority" government was formed, as directed by members of his parliamentary bloc. write their resignations in preparation for submission to the Presidency of Parliament.
In this regard, the legal expert, Jamal Al-Asadi, told Shafaq News Agency, that the resignation of the Sadrist deputies does not require the deputies to vote on these resignations, and the Speaker of Parliament cannot legally reject the resignations of the Sadrist bloc deputies.
And he indicated that "the approval of the House of Representatives on the resignation of the representatives only gives them the right to retire, and this includes every deputy who has been in the parliamentary session for more than a year, and the Sadrist bloc's submission of their resignation does not affect the work of the House of Representatives, as there are substitutes who will rise in their place, and the replacements are the biggest loser in number sound, of whatever mass it is."

Scarter13: Ah the next act in the smoke and mirrors show has started in my opinion. Are you not entertained? In my opinion, for everyone that appreciates alternative opinions I'll offer this (if you don't like alternative opinions you should probably stop reading here, in my opinion).
In my opinion if you zoom out to the macro and look at this potential RI for the global even that it is, it doesn't really make sense for it to happen until we hit the bottom of the crash that is coming.
How far away is that? Could be next week, could be next month, could be next year, in my opinion. In my opinion global inflation is off the charts and is in the process of being corrected and from the numbers just released yesterday we have a long way to go before it is under control.
In my opinion, The FED will be increasing rates and offloading their balance sheet in the coming weeks and these actions tend not to have an effect on the actual economy (usually hits the markets pretty fast but the markets are not the economy in my opinion) for months down the line.
Now yes, I know the FED technically isn't control of the global economy but they control the global reserve currency so they kinda do to some extent in my opinion. So where we currently sit, in my opinion, the FED and the PTB are looking to take liquidity out of the economy to lower inflation and continue to prop up the greenback.
If the RI was to occur now and the currencies we are expecting change all do, that will be fresh liquidity in the global economy that will probably make inflation worse and continue to artificially prop up the markets in my opinion.
So, how does the FSL, the budget, the government formation, and this other political stuff play into all this? In my opinion, none of it really matters until the PTB are ready for the liquidity to enter the global economy and start to rebuild and all this political stuff will "magically" just work itself out.
When with that be? In my opinion that is something we simply won't know until it happens. Now, for the record, in my opinion, I hope that I'm wrong and we all wake up tomorrow to what we seek, but what I aluded to above is what makes the most sense to me.
And in my opinion, until then we'll just keep seeing the smoke and mirrors show in Iraq. But on the bright side, more time to buy more currency and refine your plans.
Deepwoodz: Imo Anything is possible but that would bring Iraq’s sovereignty into question. Not to mention the state of their own poverty being put on the sidelines…. To finish the thought….it bodes well for us if this is true because this means they do expect everything we seek to be completed THIS YEAR.
