565. Georgia war and Russia, their role in Iran war (8/19/08)

The massive naval armada heads for Iran includes UK carrier battle group and French naval assets. Which may indict there will be false flag terror attack taking place in Europe to justify the coming Iran war joined by two powers (UK and France).

But terror attack is not enough to justify a war. There must be something else. What is it? I allege it could be the permission from Russia for some forbidden nuclear equipment to be constructed in Iran. (possibly relate to production of highly enriched uranium). Russia then will be a witness to prove Iran intends to produce nuclear weapon. To strengthen that role, US and Russia played a soap opera - what we saw are the two events: The war between Russia and Georgia and the agreement between US and Poland on defense missile system. The two events gave people an expression that Russia is hostile to US. So once the Iran war breaks off, Russia's evidence will be believable even if it favors US and its ally.

It's not the first time Russia plays this role. The first attempt was to justify Iraq war. The event was the famous Padilla dirty bomb case. Attorney General Ashcroft announced Padilla's arrest in Moscow on 6/10/02. Five days later I alleged there was a secret deal. The frame attempt then went soured. Padilla's case eludes finally in this year (2008). I even don't know what is the formal charge on him. It seems dirty bomb and Iraq was never linked to his case. Anyhow, Russia, had payment in pocket, carried out their witness duty. That was what Putin said on 6/19/2004 that Russian intelligence had received information in early 2002 that Iraq was planning an attack against the United States. "This information was more than once passed on to our U.S. partners in oral and written form in the fall of 2002,"". (Washington Post, 6/19/04) Since this was a revealed plot, the news never was treated seriously. (see #68, Re 7. Padilla and OKC bombing (6/15)", "Re. 9. Ashcroft in Moscow". #77. The payment of deal(July/02)" #247. Russia and terror attack (8/14/04))

Again Russia and US play the "hostility" soap opera more actively this time. In last year's drama, Russia had its long range strategy bombers patrolled to Guam and UK coast, Bush at that time threatened World war III, and Putin said Russia wouldn't accept military action against Iran. (see #516) This time, the hostility opera upgraded. That was Georgia war and missile defense system in Poland.

Why Georgia is selected in this war? Because there is a gas pipe line in its land. The gas goes to Europe. If it had been cut, then European economy will be hurt. It will cause a free fall of Euro. You now know, Iran has turned on to Euro in its oil trading. Its foreign currency reserve are mostly Euro and yen. Who will be hurt if Euro falls?

The same tactic was used in early 2007. Read the following I wrote in #462:

"In Europe, on Jan. 1, Russia doubled the price of the natural gas it sells to Belarus. As a retaliation, Belarus imposed a transit fee on Russion oil which supplies Europe through the pipe in Belarus land. The oil for Europe was cut in early January.

Quote, "EU scolds Russia for cutting oil supply
By Peter Finn
Washington Post

When it comes to energy, the European Union, which is heavily dependent on Russian natural gas and oil, has almost no short-term alternatives. Russia supplies about 25 percent of the union's oil and 40 percent of its natural gas."
(Mercury News 1/10/07) (see "462. The collapse of Euro and worldwide economic crisis (1/20/07))

In that attempt war on Iran plot, I wrote, The collapse of WANT fund and oil shortage will cause the collapse of Euro. Iran not only will be bombed, but also suffer a huge financial loss.
The tactic repeats. Notice that in these two attempts of gas cut to Europe, (or attempt war on Iran) Russia plays the major role.

566. False arrest leads to DNA case (8/24/08)

Why I am so care at war on Iran? Because it plays the role of a distraction to the framed drug case. There were several times US prepared war on Iran. These attempts always linked to the framed drug case. When the framed drug case went soured, so did the Iran war attempt. The most evident one was the 8/31/07 plot. As I have said, in framed case, one important tactic was to close the Bay Bridge.(see #433) From June 2006 to March 2008, there were at least six cases in which Feds closed (or tried to close) the Bay Bridge. 8/31/07 plot was the biggest one of these attempts. Feds closed the Bay Bridge from 8/31 to 9/3 (labor Day holiday) in the name of repair. To justify the repair, Feds even created Minneapolis Bridge collapse early that month (8/1). For that case, Feds prepared a nuclear attack on 8/30. That was the famous incident that a B-52 carried six missiles loaded with nuclear head flying over the US continental. The nuclear attack would have justify the bombing on Iran's nuclear sites.

The August 31 plot was soured under my constant revelation. So was Iran war attempt. (see 502. Warrantless surveillance and August plot (8/13/07) to 516. Iran war next stage (10/23/07)).

People may doubt: "How could your personal case is more important than a war?". That is the point of view from different angle. You should judge it from the angle of the Feds. For them, which is more important? A war or Kat Hak Sung's case?

The answer is pretty simple. Feds view my case the highest priority than anything else. If there is a war, what will they gain? Power and money. If there is no war, what will they lose? Nothing. Just no gain. But in my case, if I have been eliminated, what will they gain? Feds wiped out a witness of their crime so they can continue with their super power to rule over the people. Otherwise, they have to maintain a large army of surveillance to watch on me and have to pay interest in secret deal to foreign intelligence to frame the case. And risk the danger to be prosecuted by their committed crime. Compare no gain with being a prosecuted criminal, which is more important? Consider what I have revealed in my messages.

This is why Feds even frame a "drug money" case on me. The "drug money" is clearly a framed case, finally will be proved not from drug trading but from my relatives or bank. What Feds needs is an excuse to search and arrest. I allege the real plot of the Feds is to frame me in some other crime case with "DNA" after the false arrest. Here is a pre-mind occupation propaganda from Feds:

DNA clears JonBenet's family, points to mystery killer
7/10/08
CNN) -- Recently developed "touch DNA" technology has cleared all members of JonBenet Ramsey's family of her slaying, authorities said Wednesday.

Boulder County District Attorney Mary Lacy said no one in the Ramsey family is considered a suspect and formally apologized in a letter to John Ramsey for the cloud of suspicion his family has lived under for nearly 12 years.

Instead, DNA tests conducted earlier this year point to an "unknown male," in the 6-year-old child beauty pageant contestant's December 1996 slaying.

DNA clears JonBenet's family, points to mystery killer - CNN.com

DNA is a skilled technique and Jone Benet case is an old case. It is mentioned again because Benet case is a popular one that can appeal public eyes. The point is to emphasize the importance of DNA evidence. But as I have said, DNA evidence, hair, or sperm or spit trace, is no other than other evidence such like gun or poison. It could be planted easily, especially when the investigator is the criminal. Benet case had been used in attempted framed case on me about two years ago. (see "436. Ramsey Benet case and DNA (9/15/06)) This news is just a tactic repeat.

567. Oil price, tax refund and Iran war (8/29/08)

Now it becomes clear the original Iran war plot was planed to start around August 8, when the openning ceremony of Olympic Games was performed in China; the war broke out between Georgia and Russia; and a joint naval armada consisted of US, UK and France headed for Iran. The plot should have been designed in February, when Iran inaugurated its oil Bourse. To save the dollar, US pushed up the oil price. That price, I think, had been projected to maintain in high level until Iran was attacked and going out of oil trading business. In another word, the oil price will go normal after Iran going back to petro-dollar in oil trading. The price manipulation will justify the Iran war: See, It was Iran caused high oil price, we had a war on Iran and defeated it. Now price come down. The opinion certainly will be approved by a lot of people.

But the oil price went down after July 4th, a month earlier than the planed war date. Why?

1. I posted "556. Petro-dollar, the cause of Iran war (7/4/08)" on 7/4. Pointed out US manipulated oil price to save the dollar. And Iran war is inevitable. On same day, obviously felt the approaching war threat, Iran had a positive response to the nuclear package. I at first thought Iran's response may postpone the US war plan. In #557, written on 7/9, I wrote, "Iran's constructive preliminary response is positive. But it's a dismay to warmonger. They lose an important excuse to start a war. It disturbs their war schedule. So US media treat the news with a low key and drop the news in the corner. However, the market reaction is inspiring. From 7/5 to 7/8, the oil price dropped for four days from $145 to $136 a barrel."

2. But the later development changed my view. US still send a massive naval armada to Persian Gulf. It means US doesn't care Iran's active response.

Before Iraq war, Saddam Hussain let weapon inspection team of U.N. inspect and search the WMD in Iraq. He even let them search his palace. The U.N. weapon inspection team found no evidence of WMD. Still, US invaded Iraq. Because WMD is only an excuse. So what for Iran's positive response. When a wolf wants to eat a lamb, it will do even there is no excuse.

3. Now I think the oil price start to drop is the result of my analysis posted on 7/4. Feds used to have swift response to my revelation.(see #47, 96, 113,168,337, 531.) Oil price is very sensitive to ordinary people. It affects their daily life. If people knew that the high price is caused by the manipulation of the government insiders, the response will be disastrous. So they quickly drive down the price.

4. One thing leads me to conclude that the government insiders had planed the August Iran war in February was their decision of tax refund in that month. When Iran inaugurated its oil Bourse on 2/17, the inside group chose to push up the oil price to save the dollar. At the purpose that people will become angry at the high price. The inside group will take the chance to activate a war. When Iran has been forced to return to the petro dollar in oil trading, the oil price will drop. No one will blame this war then. The higher the oil price goes, the better the Iran war will be justified. So the group blows the trumpet:

Quote, "Goldman Sachs: $5.75 Per Gallon Gas Soon
Monday, June 30, 2008 12:00 PM

Look for the price of crude oil to continue to climb - reaching upwards of $200 per barrel - and for prices at the pump to reach $5.75 per gallon in the next two years, warns Goldman Sachs’ gas guru Arjun Murti .

MoneyNews - Goldman Sachs: $5.75 Per Gallon Gas Soon

Four days later, the bubble broke off at $147/barrel. Due to, I think, my revelation. Otherwise, the oil price would have been possible at $170/barrel in early August - the planed war time.

Someone said the government is incompetent. I don't think so. Did you see how they could start an unjust war in the name of something not existed? And how they had that notorious President to stay on the seat once again in 2004? This tax refund case, from the plan date in February to June when most people received their cheques, took only four months. It was very efficient. Why? Because the planed high oil price will hurt consumers confidence and hit the economy badly. So they gave each family $300 - $600 dollars to compensate the pain of the temporary high gas price. For June, July and August when the planed war would break out.

The oil price dropped to $110, then fluctuate between $110 and $120. It seems to be the equilibrium boundary for the dollar. Why they pushed it to $147 and intended more? Because the higher the oil price goes, the higher profit the speculator makes, and the better the war justified.

5. $110/barrel oil price is still too high, but a necessary to support the dollar. To pull it down, Iran war is inevitable.

Everything is prepared: false flag attack; secret deal with Russia and China; cooperation of allies; massive naval armada.... why they delayed again? Remember what I have said, the first priority for the Feds is to eliminate a witness of their crime who have revealed their plot so many times. So be watchful these days on hurricane, "natural disaster" and "terror attacks".

568. To punish and award through media propaganda (9/3/08)

I have said Georgia war is part of the Iran war plan in August. Now it becomes more and more evident. What did Russia lose in that war? Though there was a strong criticism from West, it was only an oral service. Russia got what it wanted: having two area split from Georgia.

Quote, "Kremlin announces that South Ossetia will join 'one united Russian state

The Kremlin moved swiftly to tighten its grip on Georgia’s breakaway regions yesterday as South Ossetia announced that it would soon become part of Russia, which will open military bases in the province under an agreement to be signed on Tuesday

Kremlin announces that South Ossetia will join 'one united Russian state' - Times Online

The situation is well described in a brief news that Russia is a winner (greeted as a victory) in that war:
Quote, "Medvedev slams Georgian leader

........ The Russian president made his comments a day after the European Union issued statement strongly criticizing Russia for its military offensive in Georgia, but stopped short of imposing sanction.

Overall, Moscow greeted the European warning as a victory. The Baltic nations, Poland and Britain had pushed for concrete sanctions, but the European leaders agreed on only one measure, a threat to postpone talks on a strategic partnership with Russia, combined with the written reproach."
(San Jose Mercury News, 9/3/08)

Former Russia President Putin also was awarded with a positive news. Two days ago, you may have watched a field report from TV news about a heroic story how Putin saved a photographer from the attack of a Siberian tiger. The screen showed us that Putin helped scientist to put a locating collar on a tiger which was said to be tranquillized by him.

Quote, "Putin saves TV crew from tiger
http://www.bigpond.com/news/world/co...01/2351315.asp

When Russia is condemned for the aggression on a sovereign country and the violation of cease fire agreement, its strong man appears in mainstream media in a heroic profile. Is it a contradiction? There is no strange if you could view the Georgia war as part of Iran war plot and that tiger news is a reward to an asset of US intelligence.

Just 30 days ago, I talked about how media turned a bank hero into a criminal by its negative propaganda. (see #561, 562. San Francisco bank robbery) Now you see another vivid positive propaganda how the Feds rewards a favorite. To expose the reward and punishment system by media manipulation, is another factor why I am the most wanted of the Feds.

569. Payment to China for Iran war (9/9/08)

To have a war on Iran, another important country needed to compromise is China. Besides Bush's attending to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Game. There were other payment.

1. On 8/14, a law maker in Taiwan announced a document from the Justice Department of Switzerland which said the relatives of former Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian having account in their bank. Swiss government alleges money laundry was involved and requests an investigation. Several hours later, Chen Shui-bian admitted the existence of that account and said that money was from political donation from his president election campaign.

Chen Shui-bian is the prominent leader of Taiwan independence movement. I alleged Chen had been the murder target in several secret deal of soured frame case when he was still a president. (see #254,382,383) Now the scandal heavily hit his party and the independence movement.

2. News brief of 8/28: "The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, was suffering from exhaustion and has canceled two planned international trips to undergo medical tests." (San Jose Mercury News, 8/28/08)

I think if the Iran war breaks out, Dalai Lama could die on "natural disease". Which will heavily hit Tibet independence movement.

3. On 8/11, news said Iraq working on reviving oil contract with Chinese. It would be the first Saddam Hussein-era oil deal to be honored by the new Iraqi regime. Two weeks later:
"China hails three-billion-dollar oil deal with Iraq
8/28(?)
BEIJING (AFP) - Becoming the first foreign firm to enter such an agreement since the end of Saddam Hussein's regime, state-owned China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) this week won the right to develop the Al-Ahdab oil field south of Baghdad.

AFP: China hails three-billion-dollar oil deal with Iraq

China is an oil customer of Iran. If Iran's oil trading is blocked by war, Iraq's oil will fill that hole. The timing is not a coincidence. Consider China has no special relationship with Maliki government and Maliki government is a puppet of the US. There is no doubt this deal is a US payment. Notice that this is the first oil deal of post Saddam era for Iraq. US not only paid a secret deal by Iraq's oil business, but also avoids to bear an accusation that the Iraq war is an oil looting war.

Now you know why suddenly Al Qaida mystically weakened in Iraq and disappeared. Their task is fulfilled. US needs a peaceful Iraq to replace Iran. US starts to take advantage of Iraq's oil business.

570. Distract in election (9/14/08)

What has the Republican government done in past seven years? If it was a restaurant, the menu they served you were: a false flag attack of 911, the price you paid, 3,000 lives. an unnecessary war in Iraq. Price: 4,100 loss of US soldiers; a Patriot Act, price: loss of your civil rights; low federal bench interest rate below 2% for more than two years from 2002 to 2004, price: sub-prime crisis in housing market; banned US banks from facilitating transactions with Iran’s banks in later 2006, which forced Iran to turn to Euro in oil trading, price: high oil price; war on terror, price: 858 billion so far; and a mess of financial crisis, price: to take over the bankrupt firms with tax payers dollar...... when you leave the store, without awareness, they also charged your credit card with a huge amount of money : this government creates an unprecedented national debt. Big trouble is waiting for you ahead.

Now it's time to change the management of the restaurant. To attract people the Republican makes it a circus show. The star of a circus - the clown - is too old, so they pick up a bikini woman to sale tickets. But a beauty queen doesn't mean a qualification for a VP. The experience to wear bikini doesn't mean experience to wear a uniform. She is a blank in foreign affairs, diplomacy, military, legislature..... Can you imagine Harvard University to fill the vacancy of its vice principal by a primary school teacher with the reason of "small town school value"? No respectable institution, or big firm or large cooperation will do like that. Then why Palin is selected for the VP of US?

1. She was a champion of a beauty pageant so she could attract sights by her appearance. 2. She is used to do lip service - to attack the Demo opponents. Media beat the drum on "Palin power". Says that she is a pit bull in attacking Obama. All they can find are odds and bits: something about a bridge, some scandal about her family, the style of her eye glass, or her dress.... It is said thus she turns away some white women's votes. It's cheerful like a circus. But what is in it? Nothing, media turns it into a gossip land.

Here we saw another tactic of the Feds which we are familiar with: distraction. They diverse the public attention to somewhere of nowhere. The purpose is to let you forget the 911 truth, a cheating president, the growing budget deficit, the rising unemployment rate and high gas price. They want you to forget the real purpose you go to a restaurant, and to believe it was because some white women's votes the evil management could grasp that restaurant again.

But are you fools to go the way they want you to go? Do you go to a restaurant for tasty food or only as they suggested, to see the color of a waitress' lip? If there is an honest election system, Republican will win only if moose votes.

571. October surprise for election? (9/28/08)

The hand to manipulate the election is the Feds. The tactic they used so far were:
1. Try to split Democratic Party by a tied competition between Obama and Hillary. This tactic seemed failed. But you could see how Feds manipulated the votes to make it a tied long competition (Feds control voting office through their informants) and blow up it a fierce campaign through media.

2. To get Obama win the candidate of Demo. Because Obama is easier to be defeated than Hillary. In another word, it is easier to justify a rigged election by saying that Americans are not ready to accept a black president. (Which I have talked about seven months ago in "536. Feds and Obama (2/3/08)")

3. To manipulate VP candidate by selecting Biden not Hillary. The combination of Obama and Hillary would have certainly threatened Republican more than Obama and Biden team does. Besides, they dropped Hillary because Feds also intends to play female card for Republican.

4. To justify a rigged election by another saying that women's votes caused GOP's victory, they selected a female VP - even she is not qualified. We all saw how media pushed up a "Palin power" soap opera.

Some possible October surprise for November election:
5. High ranking Al Qaida could be eliminated, in Pakistan. (include Bin Laden, or his vice Zhawahiri) For this, they prepared the step down of Musharraf and a new Pakistan president.

6. An agreement of US troop's withdrawal between Iraq and US. The agreement is done already. Only waiting for the right time to debut.

7. An economic recovery. That is why Bush and Paulson rushed to push the 700 billion bailout plan to pass in the House. With this plan, government will have at least 350 billion cash in hand next month. There is no problem that this amount of money, can buy up the market - at least for a month.

What does the 700 billion bailout plan means?
The key point is: Now Treasury Department requires no approval from Congress - pumping billions of dollars of fresh capital into the home loan market through purchases of mortgage-backed securities.

It also means a wholesale action on bad loans possible - according to FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair. The way she suggested was to work out better terms for as many borrowers as possible, turning unaffordable, delinquent loans at current income levels. The best way to do that in a large portfolio is not on a retail, loan-by-loan basis, but rather by using a "systematic" approach where all delinquent borrowers who fit pre-set criteria could automatically qualify for a modification of payment terms.

It means if a man bought a house of 500k value, but his income level only can afford to pay a 300k value house, he would exempt from to pay that extra 200k. His speculation will get a 200k reward. It is big.

The 700 billion bailout plan helps the greedy Wall Street bankers and investors. They made good profit in sub-prime loans. Once it turns out to be bad debt, they sold it to government. It also helps those irresponsible house buyers, some of them speculators. The plan will reward them big value of the house. Who pay the money? The hard working, dutiful tax-payers will pay off these debts in coming years. Is that absurd?

( I was harassed to post in internet. For most of past ten days, I was blocked to post the whole day. It only proves what I said are truth. Feds is afraid of my article. It may also indict that Feds is preparing a big frame case in coming days. )

572. How Feds plant (10/15/08)

I used to post a journal article every five days. From 9/14 to 10/14, I could only post two article #570 and #571. It means there were 20 days in the past 30 days I was blocked to post in internet. This is how the Feds abuse the power to censor free speech. It may also indicate that Feds thought I could be eliminated anytime soon. How? By arrest on "spending drug money", I think.

I alleged Feds fed me the "marked drug money" through the hand of my relatives. So I returned the cash they gave me. I searched the house to find the cash saved for emergence, I also found some rare money such like two dollar note and one dollar coin which I saved for fun. Two months ago, I went to the bank despite Feds intimidated in media that there was bank robbery near Washington Mutual branch and that Wachovia bank gave out fake money to customer.

It was early Saturday morning, there was little customer inside the bank. After I finished the talk with the manager to change the minimum balance of my account, I found there was a long queue for bank teller. It was a typical tactic of Feds. They used to deploy S.S.G.(special support group - teamed by informants) to control and monitor the suspect. . A long queue would give agent time to prepare for reception. So when it's my turn, I was directed to the end window of the counter. I withdrew one thousand cash. The lady asked, "what kind of bill do you like?". I want one hundred bill. She took out a small plastic package, held it high (about same level of her head) then in that inconvenient posture, she tore off the package, counted ten pieces to me. It was very clear that she wanted me to know it was a particular prepared money. Another intimidation?

Anyhow, I went to a nearby super market right away. When I waited at the counter with food, a staff with a cashier's box came to me. Tipped me to another open counter. I paid my food with the hundred dollar bill. I surprised to find in the change he gave me, there was a two dollar bill. I started to use the two dollar's bill recently. Obviously Feds checked all the money I spent. It was that easy to feed "special money" to me by change. I've returned the big bill to my relatives, so the hundred bill is from the bank. But it's hard to tell the small bill which is from which. I decide not to use these change any more to avoid any risk of "spending drug money" trap.

Last week end, I spent whole value of hundred dollar for food. Next day. From 10/13, I could post in internet again. Perhaps because I have bought enough food for the coming month, so there is rare chance to arrest on "spending drug money". But Feds is preparing another big case in November.

On 10/1, in my continuing effort to get on to my homepage, I got a notice from AOL that "We're sorry, your page cannot be previewed now. Your member Web space may be full, or the system is unavailable. Please remove old files from your space or try again later. "

The effort to remove old files resulted to the loss of the whole file. I couldn't enter my homepage since. Later, AOL said the homepage service will end on 10/31. That is very unusual for a big firm like AOL. Since censor my message is the top goal of Feds, I would say Feds prepares a big frame case in November. They will close my homepage before the framed case break out. And the other web site which having my article will be attacked too, I guess.

573. Big operation to censor my message (10/17/08)

I learned that the MSN web sites are abandoned by microsoft. It proves what I said in last message "other web site which having my aricle will be attacked too". It may also indicts that a big operation is coming. The top goal of the Feds is to eliminate my revelation. My message is too true to exist in this information world.

Re: "Confirmed: Microsoft Gives Up On MSN Groups, Hands It Off To Multiply

Jason KincaidTechCrunch.com

Wednesday, October 15, 2008; 3:59 PM
We've received confirmation that Microsoft is handing over the reins to its MSN Groups property to the social network Multiply. Microsoft is planning to release a new service called Windows Live Groups in November, and apparently doesn't want to compete with itself. Oddly enough, Microsoft has chosen not to allow groups to transition between the two services, and instead is going to offer a migration tool that will allow users to take groups over to Multiply, which currently bills itself as the world's 8th largest social network.

.......
The Microsoft post also states that users will have until February 21, 2009 to migrate their groups over to Multiply, after which point the site will cease to exist.

This just seems weird - why would Microsoft abandon a sizable (but dwindling) chunk of users to an entirely unrelated social network? It's nice that they aren't leaving their users out in the cold, but why not just cut off new signups to MSN Groups and allow the legacy users to continue on in peace? Microsoft may appear to have made the gesture in good faith, but it's likely that the company is hoping users will scoff at the idea of having to migrate, and just sign up on the new Live service when it launches.

Whatever Microsoft's intentions, Multiply is sure to be happy with the deal, as it has just been handed millions of new users (we're trying to contact Microsoft for the exact number). "
Confirmed: Microsoft Gives Up On MSN Groups, Hands It Off To Multiply - washingtonpost.com

The purpose of this oddly and weird decision is very clear for me - to censor my long time journal style revelation - "The dark side of US" and other messages. There will be a framed drug case prepared in November. So once Kat Hak Sung is eliminated in the framed case, he couldn't transfer (or in their word: migrate) the file to new site, this is why both AOL and Microsoft will clear the old site - no trace will left for people. That's a typical style of Feds.

AOL and Microsoft are two big firms. Their decision is unreasonable which will hurt their fame and popularity. The timing is not a coincidence. It will match the coming framed drug case which may come with some other big events as distraction. No one except the Feds can force the two giant firms to make such a weird decision.
