Iraq is now, and this system is not a system

20th October, 2019 - by Dr. Emad Abdul Latif Salem - Annabaa.org

 

Latif Salem

No one in Iraq today, especially the younger generation, who did not know the details of the previous tyranny, wants to overthrow the current "regime". These oppressed youth (poor, deprived, obstructed horizons) want a "system" that serves their interests (the legitimate "interests" of ordinary "citizens"). The extravagant homeland cake, strangled by knives from all over the world, has nothing in their stomachs and those of their hungry families.

They only discovered (in a moment of noble anger) the meaning (and magnitude) of the lies that had been inflicted on them for nearly two decades of lost age and lost time. This "system" that exists now is simply not a system and the reasons are as follows:

 

• The current political “regime” in Iraq, now in power and wealth, is unable to offer anything positive to its citizens, except for the few “lucky” ones.

This ruling system cannot create jobs, because it is a system based entirely on oil revenues and neglects other "core" productive sectors, which are the main creators of income and jobs.

This "system" cannot promote the basic productive sectors, because it depends on the financing of the reasons for its survival on the "arms" import everything, and therefore does not allow, and will not allow, to produce anything. The sources of power and wealth here come mainly from the revenue from imports. A foreign "importer" kills the national "product", especially if the importation is unstable, and is not subject to sound economic account logic.

 

• This "system" finances its imports through the receipt of oil revenues, and then distributed a significant part of them to the "commercial arms" associated with it. These robust economic "arms" break all foreign trade "joints" and controls through their (direct and indirect) control of all of Iraq's "trade" outlets with the world.

The most that this regime can do for its citizens is an unfair and inefficient distribution of more than half of the oil revenues as "privileges" for a few "beneficiaries", as well as "disguised" unemployment benefits for a vast army of employees and retirees, and a distribution of Remains of the "crumbs" on those covered by the social "maintenance" system.

 

• This political "system" becomes (when threatened by its very existence) a "patriarchal" system, which relies on containing its opponents on the notorious method of gifts, gifts and "honors" and tries to circumvent its "complex" structural crises and escape From its current crisis (the biggest and most serious of its crises against its poor citizens), by adopting short-term "arrangements" based on more "distribution" of rent (by "distributing" the remaining state land in the margins of "forgotten cities for decades, and distributing" Subsidies "to the unemployed," "distribution" of job grades, and "distribution" of houses that have not yet been built ..), not through "Astra" Ejiat "and" plans "and policies, working to build a productive economy, and the creation of income-generating activities" permanent, "sustainable.

It declares its “intention” to implement these “arrangements”, without referring to the determinants and complexities of the “environment” in which it operates, how it funds all these proposed “solutions”, without verifying the timeframe to accomplish this, and without paying attention to The disastrous consequences of such "long-term" arrangements.

 

• This “political” system is not based on a “economic” system with a specific purpose, nor is it based on clearly defined policies and strategies that work to achieve higher “sovereign” objectives, agreed upon by key elements of the political system, all of which should have been It takes place within the framework of the "systems" of the modern state and its effective institutions, not through the "systems" and "values" of the pre-state, which have been overtaken by other countries for centuries.

 

The existing “economic system” is a system of “deals”, which are carried out in the manner of pre-modern bazaars, shorjas and shops. What creates jobs, and sustains income, is the modern economic system, not the notorious "entrepreneurs", multilateral "servant" deals and "notorious" auctions.

 

This political system cannot build and manage this modern “economic system”, and it is not in its interest in the end to do so.

 

• Corruption is the main driver of the mechanisms of the current political system and is an essential part of its general structure. If corruption is eliminated by breaking up its infrastructure, the entire system will collapse. So, obviously, this system doesn't allow it.

 

• This political system does not believe in democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. He uses democratic "means" to seize power. When this "democracy" threatens the deep and deep foundations of this power, it will immediately become a bloody-authoritarian-theocratic regime.

 

• This system is not "young". This system is aging every day by a thousand years.

Therefore, this “regime” does not trust young people, is afraid of them, doubts their motives, challenges the sincerity of their search for better opportunities to live in dignity in their homeland, and “kills them” through the syndrome of frustration, despair, ignorance, ignorance and lack of horizon. He cuts off the means of creativity, leadership and leadership.

 

This “system” will not allow “young experts” (and we have dozens of different disciplines, some of whom have received the highest academic degrees, and received the highest academic titles) to play their part in the policy-making process in this country .. and therefore will not be allowed to work effectively In the process of its construction, development and revival.

 

• This “system” is based on “quotas” and allows the creation and reproduction of “ministers” who came from nowhere and turned the ministries (which need the best scientific and professional expertise and skills) into sectarian, ethnic, family and regional “feudalities” controlled by “office managers”. ", So that the government shifted from the government of" ministers", to the government of" office managers."

This "system" expels the "good currency" from the market .. And gives "bad currency" all the reasons for the power to go to the market, and cramming all the beautiful minds in a narrow corner, from the corners of this great "cave" of Iraq.

The “protesters” demands for the disastrous performance of this system for sixteen years are not “demands” of a “one dimension” for a “one spectrum” population. They are “multidimensional” rights that shape the future destiny of the entire people. The existing political system is able to contain it easily, and use it to reproduce the "faces", "arrangements" and "systems" themselves and to "recycle" them again.

 

• This “system” cannot provide a solution to any problem, however minor. This is a crisis system. Its crisis lies in its severe imbalance and its structural social stress, due to the very conditions of its formation.

 

• This “system” is a big and serious “problem”. Can this “problem” itself be the source of the solution? This is what you will answer for the coming days.

ChrisC's opinion of the article:  This is WHY  the protests were initiated.  I am paraphrasing, but it is like in our Declaration of Independence where it says people are willing to take a certain level of abuse just to stay with something that they know, 

" But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security". 

The people had to be shown they aren't sheep because Iran says they are.  If they had been given wealth without realizing this then Iran would have kept stealing from them and bullying them.  They aren't going to bully them anymore and we can withdraw with a greater degree of safety now.  IMO.

Corrupt governments and the path of collapse

Insights from the ideas of Imam Shirazi

Nothing will immune the corrupt government from collapse, and with all the repressive measures and methods of tyranny, the tyrannical ruler will not survive the inevitable end that lies in it, and the inevitable end of every corrupt and authoritarian regime will come. Because, by nature, man is keen on what is good and in his interest.

On the other hand, the people revolt, get angry and protest when they feel that the ruler or the regime is surrounded by injustice and corruption. Rightly, they are illegal spoils because they fall under the banner of injustice and come at the expense of the rights of the common people.

To make matters worse when the ruler claims Islam but does not adhere in his policy and administration to the principles of Islam, but may be farther away from this commitment, and in this case, public outrage is overwhelming and energetic, as soon as the mass protests against the ruler, who declares his affiliation to Islam and rule people by tyrants So the people do not care about the ruler saying that he is Islamic, but they consider the actions and management of the interests of the people.If his claims of affiliation to Islam apply in his actions, decisions and policy, then, if he claims affiliation and rule tyranny, corruption and discrimination, people will repent Counting him then arise until it drops it.

The late Imam, Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Muhammad al-Husseini al-Shirazi (may Allah have mercy on him) affirms in his precious book entitled (Shura in Islam) that: "When people see that the Islamic ruler has not applied the law of Islam, they shake off around him and then revolt against him until he is overthrown."

Therefore, we note that the masses who thirsted for Islamic rule, and gave it the opportunity to rule with justice and in accordance with the principles established by the divine justice, when it touched the indicators of tyranny and signs of corruption of those rulers who claim Islam and do not apply its teachings in the rule of the people, quickly diverged from them, and stopped their support and then The phase of undermining them and their fall from the helm of government, and so some of them fell evil fall, and others are still in the process of falling down.

This is acknowledged by Imam Shirazi in saying: (The governments in the present era, which in the name of Islam did not pass until a little time until the people around them broke up, and then worked to undermine them, some of them fell and some near the fall).

Stolen rights and stolen gifts

When the squares are rife with massive protests and gatherings because of the cheap policies of the rulers who seize power and its advantages, and give gifts to their relatives (sons and brothers) and their friends and supporters, we note the escalation of the revolution against the corrupt tyrant, and is haunted by the voices of the people asking him: Why tyranny and corruption, and where is the Shura Governance, and why this injustice that makes people's lives like hell ?.

Usually, the answers of these rulers are deceptive and falsely aimed at calming the anger of the masses and absorbing their resentment. The rulers' answers are lame, false, misleading and full of falsehood, all until the angry protesters of corruption have calmed down. The rulers say that we are not tyrannies. Words in the air lie to the actions and policies of corrupt rulers.

Imam al-Shirazi says: "The first question people ask the rulers is: Where is the Shura? We consult, do not you see we have a Council of Nation and a Council to lead the revolution and a Council of Ministers and the like ?!).

One of the open methods of such rulers is that they lavish the nation's money on their aides and supporters, and think that they will stay forever in power, and do not consider or advise the despotic experiences of the recent and distant history, so corrupt rulers resort to bringing clowns and clowns At the same time, they remove the competencies and open the gates of the cells to the intellectuals and the good opinion. The rulers of such a repressive method will protect them from their fate to fall inevitable.

Imam Shirazi says: (At the same time as the rulers talk about democracy and Shura, we find them lured to cheerleaders and clowns and mercenaries and luggage with the nation's money to praise them in the media, and we find them open the doors of prisons for the owners of thought and opinion, and woe to those who opened his mouth with one word, thinking that the prisons will suppress the voice The reality of Islamic regimes abounds with such unfortunate facts that we hardly see the same mistakes of rulers being repeated without deterring or advising those who oppress people with their policies, decisions and corruption.

The tyrants are even breaking their minds !!

What is even more surprising is the strange and bizarre insistence of rulers who are more concerned with stealing the people's money, exceeding the wealth of the nation, and plundering the rights of the masses, using the harshest methods of repression that amount to the killing of live bullets to anyone who raises his voice protesting or demanding his legitimate rights. The known method of corrupt dictators, oppression, murder, besieging and doubling the number of prisons, while ravaging the country in all areas to the point where people become humiliated frightened by the oppression of the ruler and his forces, which are only interested in the implementation of the unfair decisions of their lord who bestows them And Awardees.

Imam Shirazi says: (That is why you see the rulers more in the robbery of money, and the killing of innocent people, and the proliferation of prisons, and sabotage the country, and humiliation of slaves), and compounded by the misery of these rulers that they support even their minds, as the more people reject them and their anger on them become more clinging to tyranny Corruption, they rely on their repressive apparatus to brutally fight protests, but at the same time they are raising ashes in their eyes by their ranting statements of democracy and freedom as they are the most distant creatures.

The masses know the methods of dictators and corrupt officials, forgetting and neglecting those historical lessons that plagued all the miserable rulers, even the owners of the great empires that were overthrown by the tyranny of the sultans and their corruption, as the pages of history mention about the Umayyad terrorist tyranny, the tyranny of the Abbasid rulers, all the way to the Ottoman Empire that fell under The barrage of corruption and injustice inflicted on the nation.

There are corrupt officials who do not read history, and do not benefit from the repressive experiences near and the fall of their thrones, they are very close to the edge of the fall, because they are blinded in their corruption and injustice, Tngtn the gifts of power and magic and forgotten that for the great people, such as Imam Ali peace be upon them, and although they declare their affiliation to Islam and some boast By belonging to Imam Ali, peace be upon him, but they continue on their way to fall as other corrupt autocrats fell.

Imam Shirazi says: (The Umayyad Caliphate has disappeared and is no longer because it practiced terrorism and tyranny.

As a result, no one remembers the tyrants and the corrupt except when the remembrance is defamation and reason, because their black history blackened their faces in the world before the Hereafter, so the corrupt tyrants of officials and rulers to preach before those who reach the moment of collapse that await them at any moment to come !.

Sad isn't it. Unfortunately, it's looking more and more like we won't see what we're looking for anytime soon. Maybe sometime next year things may change but i'm not counting on it. Very depressing...Whats so sad is they were so close, but they just couldn't help themselves. Now they're talking about a new government, forget about it!

Hard for me to wrap my head around - so many positives then boom - why??

 

That's what Kim Clement said, "when it looks really bad - it will happen"

 

got to re-listen to his prophecy

I forgot

 

Kim has been right on as his prophecies unfold - we just need to hold on and keep the hope alive.

Hope is an interesting word in the original greek: It's an eager expectation of what will come to pass.

There are a number of other prophetic voices who have echoed Kim's prophetic word.

Thanks for the reminder davis411 (+1)...RON :salute:
