[size=30]KTFA Members "News and Views" Friday Afternoon 12-17-2021[/size]
KTFA:Briscom: May I ask for comments about this. On Monday’s CC, at 51:00 in, Petra said that the ‘delay’ (Dec 13 to Dec 22) in announcing the government was ‘strategic’.
Petra or family, could you elaborate on why the change of date to Dec 22 is IYO, a ‘strategic’ move/decision on their part. Thanks
Pompeypete: Several ways of looking at this….It could be a convenient screen for our Blessing in the minds of some…how?
All the time no official Govt or group are sanctioned by the court, no group, Sadr Shia or Fatah/Maliki Shia can claim kudos from the CBI’s move…albeit that Khazemi is with his sitting CoM they can only proceed with prior Govt laws and decisions.
So the official announcement could have been moved ‘strategically’ to allow for the Blessing prior to the announcement of the Election results so that no one group gets a divisive advantage…IMO
PompeyPete: Another view/reason postulated is that Fatah/Maliki and all the other pro Iranian factions got hammered at the election, for some reason people didn’t vote for them because they don’t like being murdered and distorted etc …they lost a big slice of their seats, with it their power took a big dent….whilst that of Sadr almost doubled….
Maliki is fearful of Sadr….who will deal with them if they disarm their militias and give up their CORRUPT….soooo… when the election results are ratified they are anticipating a huge backlash …as Maliki and others pay demonstrators to erupt in the streets…..but if the announcement is made post Blessing, the citizens will be dancing in the streets and the $25/30 given to go and shout outside the Supreme Court will be far less relevant to them..IMO
Petra, MM and I talk at least once a day and I believe this is along the lines of their thinking…imo
Hope this helps….
MilitiaMan: Thank you for your input, well done and those thoughts are in line with mine.. ~ MM
Popeye7: Loved your insight concerning why the Iraqi government decided to wait to give the elections results PompeyPete… Makes perfect sense considering how the residence in Iraq would must certainly be in a celebratory mood once the rate of their currency benefits their buying power… Good stuff… Thanks again MM for your continued insight as this process continues to unfold, and the day draws near to fulfilling what has been in the planning stages for a very long time… God bless, and take care to all…
