  1. Thanks for your input miquel, I think the probabilities are higher in the first quarter of 2020. Still some work to do by the CBI and GOI. I believe the demonstration put a lot of pressure on the political system and prompted the three authorities to review their positions to meet many of the demands made by the demonstrators. The GOI is under pressure by their own people. It’s time to get it done. Go RV Go asap

  2. Spoke with my Shia friend last night and we talked about the protesting. I told him that the people should be given money for the oil and he kind of stopped me. He said the Iraqis don’t have big dreams of making money or big dreams like us in the western culture. He said the reason they are protesting is because of lack of basic things like electricity, jobs, etc.. he said they are simple people just wanting the simple things in life and be able to adequately provide for their families. He also said the UN is there now so this week and next will probably be very interesting... his opinion. I guess we will see.

They are talking money and how that will effect the demands of the citizens and their purchasing power...imo. The timing of it is no coincidence imo...The CBI probably told the Finance Minister and Mahdi to get the lead out...they all know that this should have been done a along time ago...and now they apparently know they painted them selves into a corner and the demonstrations proved it...(post 1 of 2)... 11-11-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan The MR's have to get done...And now that appears to be the case they will...don't let the GOI issues reflect against the CBI. My view is Mahdi and the Finance Minister may have finally given Alaq the green light... They cannot afford to lose control of the internal fluctuations in the exchange rate going south any more than what it has. So all things interlinked imo bodes so very well for us..imo...(post 2 of 2)... A Salute to all our DV Veterans...Ron

  22. I'm wondering if this article will make it to the gazette. Wish I knew how to submit it because I'm sure all the sheep of Kurdistan would love to know where their money is going... U.S. Kurdistan’s Barzani Family Spends $47 Million on Two Beverly Hills Homes By JAMES MCCLAIN 44 VIEW GALLERY Location: Beverly Hills, Calif. Price: $47 million Size: 20,829 square feet and 11,838 square feet Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills is one of Southern California’s biggest tourist draws outside of Disneyland, its glitzy collection of designer boutiques — Chanel, Hermès, Bottega Veneta and more — forming their own sort of Magic Kingdom to lure gawkers, and sometimes serious shoppers, from around the world. The residential streets just north of the main shopping drag have their own peculiar theme park-like quality, too, with rows of ornate mansions and perfectly manicured yards. The city’s omnipresent tour buses have taken to meandering up and down these palm tree-lined streets, frequently stopping to allow occupants to photograph this or that celebrity’s house. But on a busy avenue just a few blocks from Rodeo, one house draws attention despite not having a Hollywood pedigree. Maison 613, as the property is known, was long owned by a non-famous businessman, yet lookie-loos flock to the property. On a recent Sunday, a slow-driving Nissan pulled over across the street from the house, the driver emerging with a tripod camera to snap pictures. It’s not hard to see what fascinates the tourists. Watch a marketing video for the property, and the magnitude of Maison 613 comes into focus. Up for sale two years ago with a $40 million pricetag, the listing boldly proclaimed that the house “sets a new standard for elegance, beauty and sophistication in the residential landscape of Beverly Hills.” Perhaps that’s true, but the colossal structure also utterly obliterates its neighbors in sheer size alone. Within the mega-mansion’s nearly 21,000 square feet of gilt-trimmed living space are a beauty salon, elevator, indoor basketball court, 17 bathrooms and even a bowling alley. And from the street, the European-influenced architecture invokes Versailles, its towering limestone face festooned with a bonanza of Corinthian columns, intricate moldings and decorative quoins. The house looks like money — a remarkably showy sort of money. A mile north of Maison 613 lies another mansion that might as well be its older, slightly smaller sister. Foothill Manor, as it is known, was built in the 1970s and spans “just” 12,000 square feet, yet is every bit as opulent as Maison 613, with more Corinthian columns, hand-carved architectural moldings and gold leaf everywhere. It’s also more private than Maison 613, with its perimeter a forest-like collection of mature plantings. But the house is so tall that even the giant trees surrounding it can’t shield its roofline from public view. Yet even though Maison 613 and Foothill Manor were designed to impart conspicuous wealth, the names of their current owners are shrouded in secrecy. Maison 613 sold last year for $27 million in an all-cash deal, according to records, one of the biggest transactions ever closed in the Beverly Hills Flats neighborhood. The listed buyer, an LLC, is named after the property’s address and links back to a small, nondescript law office in Fairfax, Virginia. Just three months before Maison 613’s big sale, Foothill Manor transferred for $20 million in another all-cash deal. Again, the listed buyer is a mysterious LLC named after the property’s address; it, too, was registered by the same Virginia law office. As Nick Shaxson once neatly put it for Vanity Fair, there are only two things we can say with certainty about the new owners: “They are extremely wealthy, and [they] … don’t want you to know who they are and how they got their money.” Dive deep into records, however, and one name is linked to both Beverly Hills properties: Haval Dosky, a Virginia-based, ethnically Kurdish man with longstanding ties to Mansour and Masrour Barzani, the two most prominent sons of former Iraqi Kurdistan president Masoud Barzani. For centuries, the Barzani family have been the de facto rulers of the Middle East’s autonomous Kurdistan region, currently based the mountains north of Baghdad, Iraq. Though Kurdistan exists strictly as an imaginary country, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has its own legislature, army and foreign policy, essentially making it a state in all but name. And the Barzanis’ influence among the Kurds is so great that supporters and critics alike have coined the cheeky nickname Barzanistan for the oil-rich region. From 2005 to 2017, Masoud Barzani served as president of the KRG, during which time he established himself as one of the U.S.’s staunchest allies in the Middle East. Barzani’s tenure as president was also marred by controversy. Critics alleged that he and his family secretly held a virtual monopoly on various commercial businesses, reaping tens of billions from their telecommunications empire and other endeavors. Though Barzani himself denied any involvement with commercial enterprises, a local newspaper accused Barzani and his Kurdistan Democratic Party of collecting large profits from illegal oil smuggling into Iran. And a $47 million purchase of Beverly Hills real estate by his sons could be construed as providing evidence of some form of corruption. But stories of the Barzani sons’ vast wealth are nothing new. Though he’s publicly issued a denial, avid real estate watchers widely believe that Masrour Barzani was the anonymous buyer of a gigantic mansion in McLean, Virginia, that ranks as one of the largest homes in the entire state. (The ornate house, immodestly christened Chateau Noble de McLean, bears an almost eerie resemblance to Maison 613 and Foothill Manor.) And if local reports are to be believed, Mansour Barzani once lost $3.2 million in a single night while gambling at a Dubai casino. Back in Beverly Hills, determining exactly who owns Maison 613 is made more complicated by the fact that the Barzanis don’t actually seem to live in this house. Nor does anyone, for that matter. A recent visit to the premises found there were various weather-damaged neighborhood flyers stuck in the front gate, as if the property has been vacant for some time. There are no cars in the drive; at night, the house remains conspicuously dark. Much like Maison 613, Foothill Manor is also vacant. Signs posted on the driveway gate state that a major interior remodel of the home has recently begun, rendering the place uninhabitable. But according to neighbors, the giant house was occupied for most of the past year by Sodabeh “Soodi” Khoshdaman, a U.K.-based woman who they said is a mistress of one of Masoud Barzani’s sons, and the mother of a boy carrying the Barzani surname. Whatever Khoshdaman’s actual ties to the Barzani clan, they appear to have reaped extraordinary financial rewards for her. British land registry records reveal that in December 2016, she paid £10.9 million (approximately $14 million USD at current conversion rates) in an all-cash deal for a fixer-upper house in London’s shockingly expensive neighborhood of Kensington, the same pocket of town where other residents include Formula One racing heiress Tamara Ecclestone, Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Mansour, Roman Abromovich and Lakshmi Mittal, one of India’s richest men. And, of course, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Like Foothill Manor, however, Khoshdaman’s London residence is currently unoccupied, the property engaged in a multi-year, multimillion-dollar renovation and expansion that includes the addition of a full basement level. The local refurbishment specialists at BTL Property Ltd have been hired, surely at massive expense, to design and oversee the home’s extensive remodel. And when complete, the Khoshdaman mansion will quite possibly rank as the largest and most lavish house on her block — a block in what is arguably the poshest area of London. The extravagance of these Virginia, Beverly Hills and London homes is unfathomable to other Kurds, many of whom struggle to earn a living. About 5.5% of Iraqi Kurdistan’s population subsists on less than $80 per month, and while the region is economically prosperous compared to the rest of Iraq, even the reasonably successful Kurdish doctors only earn the monthly equivalent of a couple thousand USD. On top of that, there is widespread political unrest — last month, President Trump made the controversial decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria, a move harshly criticized by the Barzanis and other prominent Kurdish politicians, who described it as “a stab in the back.” Since the troop removal, 130,000 Kurds have fled their homes, and hundreds more have reportedly been slaughtered. All that bloodshed seems worlds apart from the manicured neighborhoods of Beverly Hills. On a recent Sunday afternoon, the only thing disturbing the peace is a black Range Rover, whose driver honks at a Lexus for pausing too long at a nearby stop sign. On the sidewalk, a young Asian tourist strolling along stops in front of Maison 613, gazing up at it for a few seconds before turning to face the street. Behind him, the home’s towering façade looms cold and dark, like a residential version of Mount Rushmore. Then he raises his camera and snaps a selfie. Jeff Hyland of Hilton & Hyland and Ron de Salvo of Coldwell Banker jointly held the Maison 613 listing; Stacy Gottula at The Agency held the listing on Foothill Manor. John Yarborough of Bennion Deville Homes repped the Barzanis.

  30. Rouhani: Trusting the current US president is very difficult By AhadNA3 12/11/2019 02:14 PM | Read Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has criticized the policies of his US counterpart Donald Trump and described his trust as a very difficult thing. Speaking at the inauguration of dozens of reconstruction projects and infrastructure in the southeastern province of Kerman on Tuesday, Rowhani said the current US president is making a new decision every day, so trusting him is very difficult. In September, some countries are still listening, talking and proposing. He added: We have reached an agreement on the foundations, but we are suffering from how to implement and to close the door of negotiations, but it is not feasible on its own, but should be made efforts and activity and promote unity and solidarity. He warned against divisions and gaps in the coming months because of the legislative elections, where competition intensifies and the votes are relatively high. He promised the path of resistance that it was to negotiate with the world as well as to reduce the commitments in the nuclear agreement "We have rejected the proposals made." He pointed to his visit to New York and his participation in the work of the United Nations General Assembly, pointing out that he received relatively good proposals during the visit and was able to take decisions aimed at breaking the embargo, but the atmosphere could not be trusted with the US president.

The Arabic writing between the stars says something like “God is Greatness” or “God is the Greatest”.. he said when they made changes to the flag by removing the stars, they should have changed the whole flag not just part of it because it’s still a sign of the bathe party era.. anyway, they are angry about a lot of things that need to change there..
