KTFA Members and Frank26 "Q&A" and more Tuesday Night 10-29-19
KTFA:
SC1: (Re: Monday CC) Thank you, Frank, Walkingstick, Delta, FF77, Samson, Clare, MM, and All !!
Genuinely appreciate all you share with us and help us and lead us in our study !!
Glad to hear and know that the CBI is Eager to give the completion of the MR to the citizens !!
In the same vein of thought, in terms of caring for the citizens:
Wouldn't it really help speed the process along and meet the demands and needs of the citizens, if one of the religious leaders would just declare a FATWA against:
1. The program rate,
2. The auctions,
3. Those loyal to or under the control and or influence of Iran,
4. Proxy government,
5. Unemployment,
6. Lack of housing,
7. Lack of safety and security
8. etc., etc. (Corruption), etc.
???????
..Just to name a few things...
Wouldn't doing so be caring toward the citizens ??
And meet their demands and needs ??
Wouldn't that help take the bull by the horns, so to speak, and actually get things done ??
ChrisC: Excellent point. As severe as the situation is, they do appear to dance around the root of the cause. They need to address the bullet in the hole and quit putting bandaids on the top. More importantly they need to address who shot the bullet in the first place and cutting off their funding as quickly as possible is going to do that. IMO

Samson: Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri announces his resignation
29th October, 2019
Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri announced on Tuesday that he would submit the resignation of his government to the president after nearly two weeks of popular protests shaking the country.
In a direct and concise address to the Lebanese people, Hariri said that “13 days ago, the Lebanese people have been waiting for a political solution to stop the deterioration. During this period, I have tried to find a way to listen to the voice of the people and to protect the country from security, economic and living risks.
He said, “I will not hide you and I have reached a dead end and it is a duty to act as a big shock in order to face the crisis.
Local media in Lebanon reported that Hariri had contacted political parties, expressing his desire to resign. She pointed out that some representatives of these parties tried to discourage Hariri from his position, but he insisted on it.
An unprecedented wave of protests erupted in Lebanon on 17 October after the Hariri government announced its intention to impose taxes on WhatsApp calls to fill the chronic budget deficit. Protests against the Hariri government and the country's ruling political class quickly turned, and protesters demanded the downfall of the Hariri government, which they say failed to address the country's serious economic downturn.
