USPA NEWS - I have read a story bearing great meaning and deep implications which occurred linking it with the political class in Iraq and descended over us from one of the planets by surprise.
The story depicts that in a country there was a shop selling jewellers of gold and silver,
Once an old man with long white beard and bright face entered the jewellers shop looking as if he is an angel. The old man requested the shop owner to fix and repair his diamond ring .The seller agreed asking the old man to sit on the chair and wait .Five minutes later a man accompanied with his wife entered the shop asking the seller fix their set of gold .The seller told them to wait under queue after the old man. The man and his wife felt astonished as they found nobody sitting in the shop. They asked: where is this old man? The seller replied: he is sitting on the chair in front of you.
Accordingly they went out in a hurry from the shop considering the seller as a crazy man. Minutes afterwards a woman entered the shop asking the seller to fix and repair her gold necklace. The seller told her to wait after this old man. She asked: where is this old man, there is nobody .Therefore she hurried and went out of the shop saying and shouting: the owner of this shop is crazy and crazy. The seller was surprised saying to the old man: what is happening our old man? Why nobody saw you of those people ?The old man answered: listen my son I am an angel from the heaven descended to grant you a lot of money then I will admit you to the Paradise .
The old man got a white handkerchief out of his pocket with good scent. He asked the shop owner to inhale it being a blessed handkerchief. After the shop owner inhaled the handkerchief he numbed and gone into deep sleep. When he awaked out of the drug he found himself before a surprise: The shop has been robbed completely realizing that he was a victim of the most dangerous and smartest gang led by the old man with the white beard in addition to another woman plus those who entered after the old man.
The significance of this link; is very clear: It lies between the political class in Iraq and the poor people. This gang represents exactly the Iraqi politicians while the shop owner represents the people .Someone may ask that not every politician in Iraq has a white beard and is an old man but the implication of the link is not the beard but the deception and fraud experienced by this political class against the people.
These politicians and authority owners in Iraq starting from 2003 till today practice all kinds of drugging to these people and follow all methods to rob but we should emphasize an important and clear fact that there is wide difference between the Iraqi people and the shop owner, it is that the shop owner woke up out of the drug and was able to inform the concerned authority about the robbery of the jewelers giving the specifications of the gang to the concerned departments.
As for the Iraqi people; they did not wake up till now and still in their case of sleep and deep coma which helped those politicians rob the gold shop which represents Iraq as the dose of the drug was very effective with influencing validity.
For example any drugging dose may be in shape of religious sermons or lies by which they grant privileges to the citizens such as land plots and so on.. Out of lies and deceptions by which the devastated the people.
I cannot imagine the reality of the situation in Iraq except in a big disappointment to the effect that the people may wake up and the validity of the drug may vanish thus to see itself originally out of the geographical borders of the homeland thus enabling the political class loot the land while the people remain in the desert without a homeland.
