News, Rumors and Humor Sunday PM 5-23-2021
Holly: Rv News:
I have been asked to not say too much during this time. I can tell you that much has been happening behind the scenes to have this release.
This is a very powerful week coming up with the blood moon. (May 26th)
The most important thing we can do as an rv community is to stay positive and in love and light. Focus on the final release happening and see it as a smooth and effortless process.
The order of the Rv might change. I will advise as I hear more. Meaning the last will be first. I need more confirmation on that.
We are on the home stretch. Never, ever give up! This is a transition, not a transaction.

Samson: Kurdish parliamentarian: The region’s delegation will not sign any agreement with Baghdad
18:18 - 22/05/2021
On Saturday, a member of the Kurdistan Regional Parliament, Diyari Anwar, ruled out the signing of an agreement between the next Kurdish delegation to Baghdad and the federal government regarding oil.
"The regional government wants the situation to continue as it is, especially as it distributes salaries with a deduction system from employees, and what is deducted goes into the pockets of the corrupt power parties," Anwar told Al-Maaloumah.
He added that "the Kurdish delegation that will visit Baghdad will not conclude any agreement or deliver the oil, but rather it is a formal visit only."
It is scheduled that a delegation representing the Kurdistan Regional Government will visit the capital, Baghdad, in the coming days to discuss the implementation of the budget agreement. LINK
MilitiaMan: I wonder if Diyari Anwar is acting? Why visit Baghdad for a formal visit if not for the HCL? Maybe because they are to come for a photo op, as the HCL has been sorted already (Feb 24, 2021) and now they may have the mechanism for it. imo To the latter, it would be a formality. imo. KEep in mind the new system has corruption under control once they interlink with the mechanism going forward, imo.. lol ~ MM
