  1. The central banks of the world are the reason behind all the corruption that goes on in governments. The central banks including the central bank in America (The Federal Reserve) all around the world are doomed. People are waking up.

  6. True dat girl. I also think that the Trump sanctions have left the folks in Iran little choice. I mean the Mullah's raise taxes so high because of the sanctions and they actually expected the people to do nothing about it. Not very bright.

  7. IRANIAN PROTESTERS SET FIRE TO THE CENTRAL BANK IN BEHBAHAN Iranian protesters set fire to the Central Bank in Behbahan on: November 16, 2019 Iranian protesters set fire to the Central Bank of Iran in the city of Behbahan, Khuzestan Province, in demonstrations against the government’s decision to ration hike the price of petrol. A surprise decision to ration and raise fuel prices by 50% has led to long queues at gas pumps and protests around the country. President Rouhani argues the move is for the good of the people. Demonstrations broke out around Iran Friday night after the government raised the price of fuel by at least 50%, the country’s state news agency reports. In the city of Sirjan in central Iran, demonstrators tried to set a fuel warehouse on fire in protests that police described as “severe.” The semi-official news agency INSA reported that one civilian was killed and several others injured. Acting governor Mohammad Mahmoudabadi said some people had exploited the “calm gathering” and had destroyed public property and damaged fuel stations. He added it was unclear whether the victim had been shot dead by security forces who were “trying to bring back calm to the city.” Protesters also gathered in a dozen other cities. Some crowds attempted to block traffic. State media reported that protests had ended by midnight. Authorities raised fuel prices and instituted rationing measures without warning earlier in the day. The government limited fuel consumption to 60 liters per vehicle per month, down from a prior limit of 250 liters. Prices have spiked over 50% to 15,000 rials (€0.12, $0.13). Every liter above 60 is subject to a penalty cost of 60,000 rials. The move left drivers waiting hours in lines at gas pumps. Many people said they were shocked when they went to refuel their vehicles. Police were deployed near gas stations to keep order. Earmarked for subsidies Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told advisors that the move was intended to put money in its citizens’ pockets and that the government has earmarked all funds to be used on subsidies for poor families. “No one should imagine that the government has done this because it is economically struggling; not at all, not a rial of this will go to the treasury,” Rouhani said, state media reports. The economy has suffered under US-imposed sanctions in place since 2018. Inflation is at 40% and the economy is expected to contract 9% this year. Fuel in Iran is heavily subsidized, costing 10,000 rials (€0.08, $0.09, approximately) prior to the price hike. Rouhani argues that raising prices is a natural move considering the current conditions. The country’s 80 million citizens currently consume about 90 million liters of cheap oil a day. “Increasing petrol prices is to the people’s benefit and also to help the society’s strata under [economic] pressure,” he said. The fuel-rationing measures should bring in 300 trillion rials ($2.55 billion) annually, head of the country’s Planning and Budget Organisation Mohammad Bagher Nobakht said on state television, adding that payments will start within the next 10 days. They will range from 550,000 rials ($4.68) for couples to just over 2 million rials ($17.46) for families of five or more.

  14. ERBIL — Several dozens of people were killed or injured across Iran after protesters clashed with the security forces. Thousands of Iranians across the country took to the streets on Friday evening following a surprising increase of fuel prices. The Iranian government announced before the protests that it had tripled the fuel price and intensified the rationing system for drivers. According to media reports, at least four protesters were killed in Khorramshahr, Khuzestan province in southern Iran. Elsewhere in the Kurdish city of Sanandaj, one protester was shot dead and several others were injured. Multiple casualties were reported from other provinces of Iran, including the Kurdish areas in northwest of the country. Locals said the security forces used tear gas and live ammunition to disperse protesters. At least one state-owned bank and a police station were set on fire by the angry protesters.

  18. For those willing to take the time to learn THIS IS A MOST INTERESTING READ. 🇺🇸 3Days3Nights 🇺🇸 @3Days3Nights Jul 11th 2019, 1. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Patriots have asked me how Trump won the 2016 election if HRC had it rigged. They’ve asked how Trump won the Senate in 2018 but lost the House. They’ve asked me how this will impact the 2020 elections. 2. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON In 2016, it appears MIL Patriots legally stopped DNC rigging in 5 States & ignored traditionally Red or Blue States. This was the riskiest part of the PLAN because it was single threaded. It had to be legal & if it failed, MIL COUP was PLAN Z. 3. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON If you are wondering why the good guys only stopped the rigging in 5 States and not all 50, you MUST understand that [they] were at the PEAK of [their] power in 2016. If [they] sniffed out this MIL OP, only God knows what would have happened 4. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON The 5 States were all swing States, and each was carefully chosen because the PLAN only required UNRIGGING 1 or 2 corrupt counties in each of those States. Additionally, [they] would not realize what had happened until it was too late. 5. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON The States & Counties were... Flor - Miami Dade & Broward Ohio - Cuyahoga (Cleveland) Penn - Philadelphia Metro Mich - Detroit Metro Wisc - Milwaukee Metro Remember how SHOCKED [they] were as Trump won these 5 States. [They] were so confused. 6. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Of these 5 States, I believe Ohio was the only State where we legally stopped the rigging in the entire State. This was probably a test run for 2020 where the entire nation will be Fixed. Trump easily won Ohio by a huge +450,000 votes. 7. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Numbers don’t lie. Statistical outliers are an easy way to identify fraud or the REMOVAL of fraud. Any honest reporter could have figured this out in one day. Let’s take a deep dive into Jill Stein’s radical increase in votes in 4 of the States. 8. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON What if we legally stopped [them] from switching votes from Greens to Dems in 2016. In other words, Jill actually got her real votes for the 1st time in 2016 & NONE were siphoned off to Dems. Why did Jill demand a recount if she was UP +300%? 9. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Now let’s look at Gary Johnson from the Libertarian Party. He also had a radical increase in votes. What if we legally also stopped those votes from being siphoned to Dems? Gary was up an average of +500%. These numbers don’t lie. 10. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Now let’s look at Trump’s narrow win in each of these 4 closest battleground States. His margin of victory in votes was about the same as Jill & Gary’s total increase in votes. Dems weren’t able to swing Jill & Gary’s votes to their ledger. 11. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON It's the day after Trump is elected, and the Left is freaking out. Why? [They] had willingly and knowingly committed all the crimes against children and other treasonous acts under one basic promise: HRC WAS GUARANTEED TO WIN. 12. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Fast forward to the 2018 Mid Terms. Trump assigns the DHS to manage "election security", and he issues an EO to protect against "ILLEGAL FOREIGN INFLUENCE" in our elections. Trump has legally declared WAR ON ELECTION FRAUD. 13. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Since the House handles investigations & the Senate handles prosecutions, Trump makes sure all investigations into [them] are COMPLETED by the GOP House & handed over to the GOP Senate before the 2018 Mid Terms. Trump can now lose the House. 14. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Trump had a FAKE MAJORITY in the Senate before Mid Terms because of comped RHINO's like McCain, Murkowski, Collins & Flake, so 1st goal of Mid Terms was to secure a REAL MAJORITY in Senate. 2nd goal was to catch the Dems stealing House seats. 15. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Trump wins the Senate by making sure the rigging is legally stopped in all the necessary States to secure the 53-47 victory. Without the Senate & SCOTUS with real majorities, Trump would have been illegally impeached by [them] before 2020. 16. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON It appears Trump had the DHS & MIL legally create a STING OP for about 20+ House Seats in the 2018 Mid Terms. In essence, Dems were tracked as they committed voter fraud to steal House seats in Orange County, Broward County and others. 17. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Why allow Dems to steal the House? Simple. The MILITARY objective was to build support for VOTER ID by the 2020 election to solve ALL future election fraud. Plus the Dems would be exposed as anti-American Socialists. This is WAR. 18. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON The US Census will ask 1 new question: "Are you a US Citizen?" Every 750,000 people in a district earns an additional House seat. Since the illegals all congregate in sanctuary cities, those districts earn 20+ fake House seats for the Dems. 19. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON Q has hinted that Trump's DARPA has quietly created an un-hackable blockchain voting system for 2020. Plus @JudicialWatch has won lawsuits causing the removal of MILLIONS of bogus voter records. Plus Voter ID. Plus the US Census. GAME OVER! 20. UNRIGGING THE ELECTIONS #QANON For the 2020 elections, RELAX. 75% of Americans are PATRIOTIC. Trump has won over these patriots. GOP, Dem, ***, Straight, Black, White, Men, Women, Rich, Poor, Young, Old. All PATRIOTS. With no voter fraud, he gets 75% of the vote. John

  20. I think that this is about to come to fruition. And furthermore, several people are about to be charged with multiple criminal violations and some even with TREASON. These leftest monsters can play their games of double speak and manipulations all they want but Hilldabeast said it best, " If that f-ing Bastard wins we're all going to hang". There are serious signs that her statement is coming true. Yesterday morning around 8 am William Barr met with President Trump and top White House officials in what has been described as a very animated conversation. Then later the same evening William Barr made this statement. The important thing to remember here is that Barr is the Attorney General and that his job is Upholding the law.

  24. LINK IBBC hosts Major Iraqi Business Delegation in London 14th November, 2019 IBBC hosts largest ever delegation of Iraqi business people at London Business Forum In a wide-ranging business event over 230 Iraqi business-people and 70 British gathered to meet and discuss Business relations, trade, investment and engagement with the UK’s Business community. Delegates from all regions of Iraq through the chambers of commerce gathered to hear from representatives of trade associations, IBBC members, chambers of commerce and investors. Baroness Nicholson, President of IBBC, welcomed the new Iraqi Ambassador, H.E. Mr Mohammad Jaafar Al- Sadr, who gave a keynote address at the conference. The Ambassador speech was followed by an address of H.E Mr Karwan Jamal, High Representative of the Kurdistan Regional Government. Of note were the panel from Iraqi business people, headed by Dr Dara Jalel Al-Khayat, Chairman of Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Kurdistan, and representatives from Babil, Baghdad and Basra Chambers, as well as the chair of the Importers and exporters association in Kurdistan. From the British side, a panel consisting of Rod Dowler of the Industry Forum, Alan Rides MD of Hounslow Chamber of Commerce, Brigadier James Ellery of Turnkey LLC and Mr Peter Hunt of HWH Associates and Raed Hanna, MD of MFL Finance, all spoke positively of their experiences in Iraq, but tempered with advice on improvements to the Iraqi experience. Finally, Jessica Hao of Crossboundary associates spoke of opportunities to invest in start-ups and SMEs in Iraq with support of USAID. Key messages included the enthusiasm with which the Iraqis are keen for British Investment into numerous sectors in Iraq, especially Agriculture, Petro Chemicals, Food Processing, Housing and Consumer goods. The idea of joint ventures with British know how and expertise and Iraqi partners are also suggested as ways to overcome perceptions of risk in the country. However, many delegates all supported the notion that despite the present legitimate protests in many parts of the country overall peace and stability has returned to Iraq following the defeat of DAESH and that the business environment is getting more favourable. Nevertheless, much needs to be done to free up and boost the private sector, an essential step to meet the demands for real jobs and futures of the ever-increasing young Iraqi population. Following the formal event, the delegates networked extensively with each other and the British contacts in the room. The group move onto Northampton University, Ardley high tech waste centre, and High-tech leather innovation centre in Northampton University before returning to Iraq.

  26. Happy Wednesday, dinarvets! I'm in the middle of a blizzard (ok, it's just snowing a little) and I've got a bajillion fires to put out here at home, so this one will be quick! The good news is that I see lots of good reasons to come back with more updates before next Wednesday. In fact, I made a detour to buy a lottery ticket this morning - that's how good I feel about the near future! (Get in the lotto pool here.) It looks like the protest situation is coming to a head, all while budgetary and other government issues are also moving forward. The US is putting pressure on Iraq to do something about the protests, which really means the US is putting pressure on Iraq to get their butts in gear. This article I posted states that the Iraqis are grumbling about "US interference", but the fact of the matter is this: if the US is putting pressure on them, they are going to do something. And they are going to do something that moves Iraq in the direction we want, and it's not going to drag out forever. Personally, I see that as a positive sign and I'm looking forward to the next week. Here's some evidence of what I'm hearing that has me feeling positive... despite the blustering about not wanting US interference, the news says they are doing exactly what we want. Take a look at this and the 12 posts that immediately follow it: We are looking at a positive situation, friends. I'll be back with more as it develops - hopefully even before the weekend, if the rumors I'm hearing are correct. This can all come to a head very quickly. - Adam

  34. LINK Iran's Supreme Economic Council confirms implementation of gasoline price hikes 16th November, 2019 After the meeting, Iran's Supreme Economic Council confirmed the implementation of the decision to raise gasoline prices. Iranian protests against fuel price hikes escalated on a second day on Saturday, to the point of burning a branch of the National Bank, coinciding with demands to topple the supreme leader and reject Tehran's interference in the affairs of Arab states. In Behbehan, southwestern Iran, protesters set fire to the National Bank, while demonstrators in the central city of Karaj demanded the downfall of the supreme leader's regime on Khamenei. Demonstrators in several Iranian cities chanted slogans rejecting the interference of their country in the affairs of Arab countries, and demanded to improve their living conditions, according to sources in the Iranian opposition. The sources said on Saturday that the Iranian authorities cut the Internet service to the regions of Ahvaz southwest of Iran, after the protests against the Iranian regime. Protesters in Tehran blocked some of the capital's streets, protesting against a three-fold increase in fuel prices. Iranian opposition sources said that security forces resorted to force during the dispersal of demonstrators in Bushehr in the south of the country, while protesters in Tehran denounced spending the proceeds of the country on the Basij forces. Iranian media reported that Tehran and several other cities witnessed mass demonstrations on Saturday, the second day of protests. The official IRNA news agency said on Saturday that the city of Sirjan, central Iran, witnessed "large" demonstrations, noting that people attacked "a fuel depot in the city and tried to burn it," according to Agence France-Presse. This comes less than 24 hours after mass demonstrations in Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan and Tabriz, in protest against the Iranian authorities raise fuel prices, and in response to statements by President Hassan Rouhani, who defended the decision. Activists reported on Friday evening that one person was killed during clashes with Iranian security forces in the city of Sirjan, which began shooting indiscriminately at the protesters, while the authorities launched a campaign of mass arrests of dozens. ####### Iran rises .. set fire to National Bank .. and shouts of the fall of the dictator shakes the throne of the mullahs LINK

  39. Oil, dollar and gold .. What will happen to the value of each? Economy | 01:47 - 16/11/2019 Follow - Mawazine News Everyone is waiting for positive news and forecasts about currency support, but the coming winter may not be the best time for the currency, oil and gold prices, which will be directly subject to the political situation in America, China and Europe. The writer Mikhail Ismailov says in an article published by the Russian news site "News" that all investors and speculators in the world are seeking to make profits and reap huge returns from the money they invest in the economies of developing countries, and although the currencies of these countries are still in great demand, their situation may change Tragically. Trade agreement The international investors are now following the details of the first phase of a possible trade agreement between the United States and China, which the world economy is waiting for some positive indicators that will benefit the development of global trade and improve the political situation in general. Since the postponement of the Asia-Pacific Economic Conference in Chile, there has been much debate about the new history of the event, said Roman Plenov, director of research at the Russian Center for Finance. Plenov explains that the significance of this conference is that a new, very important document, which could defuse the trade war between America and China, could emerge as a roadmap for the first phase of the foreign trade agreement between the two giants. The expected agreement will also be linked to the fate of the Russian currency, given its significant impact on international markets, which is likely to extend until the first quarter of next year. On the other hand, the optimism that prevailed on the Wall Street Stock Exchange has turned into a pessimistic situation in light of the negative expectations of experts, which will change the mood in the international financial markets. As a result, these markets will diminish their growth potential, at least until early next year or early spring. The writer says that the international currency markets survived another wave of dollar decline, although this was expected after the breakthrough in the issue of separation between the European Union and Britain. It was believed that the appreciation of the British pound and the single European currency would weaken the US currency. This would have been considered positive for US exporters, but the continued demand from foreign investors for the dollar helped to prevent the US currency from falling. Uncertainty in the oil market Oil prices continued to fluctuate amid uncertainty over the upcoming China-US deal. Investors are counting on a quick signing of an agreement to eliminate tariffs, but the absence of any official details on the deal makes it difficult to maintain optimism in the markets. Peter Navarro, Trump's trade policy adviser, has confirmed the absence of a ready-made agreement on tariffs, which has led to a further decline in financial markets. The issue of a new agreement between Beijing and Washington has become purely political, as 2020 will see US presidential elections organized, and Donald Trump will see whether signing the deal will help him win a second term or undermine his chances. In the absence of Donald Trump's serious desire, all efforts by representatives of the Chinese and US sides in trade talks between the two countries will be in vain.

  41. BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security and medical officials say protesters have pushed closer to the Green Zone, Baghdad’s fortified seat of government, after security forces pulled back following a night of violent altercations. The officials said Saturday that protesters took control of the strategic Khilani Square and part of Sinak bridge leading to the Green Zone, which houses Parliament and several foreign embassies. Security forces are still deployed on part of the bridge in order to block the protesters from pushing into the Green Zone. Officials say a roadside bomb killed three people and wounded 18 late Friday near Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the protest movement. Another roadside blast in the southern city of Nassiriya wounded 18 that same evening. The officials all spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

  43. Jordanian energy stresses the importance of accelerating the electrical connection with Iraq Economy | 07:22 - 15/11/2019 BAGHDAD - Jordan's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Hala Zawati said on Friday the importance of electricity linkage with Iraq within the framework of the Arab electrical linkage system, which enhances trade relations and achieves energy integration. Zawati said in a statement that "these projects would strengthen the Arab electricity linkage in the context of aspiration for a common Arab market that contributes to the achievement of Arab integration and serve the Arab people." The Minister stressed the importance of electricity interconnection projects in reducing costs and forming a safety net for all participating countries. Zawati's comments came in response to the Iraqi government's decision to approve "accelerating the contract with Jordan to import electricity." Zouati praised the energy cooperation relations with Iraq, especially after the export of Iraqi oil via tankers to Jordan in September 2019. She expressed the hope that the implementation of the linkage network with the Republic of Iraq will begin soon, complete the procedures for extending Iraq's oil export pipeline through Aqaba port and implement the remaining energy cooperation projects between the two countries.

  44. Um folks, every single diplomat works at the pleasure of the POTUS . They can be replaced for any reason or no reason. You wanna talk Fed Employee body counts take President Obama. He sent out a notice to every career diplomat that their services would no longer be needed after his inauguration. No one is complaining about that. It is actually an excellent move in my opinion for any new POTUS. It allows them to ensure that they have people in these key career positions that they can work with. People that more than likely will work within the POTUS foreign policies. As each should do. Why , POTUS Trump did not do this himself is beyond me. Such practices are done in the corporate world all the time. When one company buys another company, the new company brings in all their people in all key positions. Additionally, if Trump feels anyone is no longer promoting his foreign policies as he sees fit, there is nothing wrong with getting someone else .

They can give money to housing units that are unfinished and even improve roads, etc,, but this one they can’t escape. Seems so far, all the “reforms” they promised are like bribes just to shut the protestors up...Oh – but it’s not going to work this time...(post 1 of 2)... 11-15-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...this currency auctions reform is not going to go away either unless they address it and do it very soon. No- they don’t need the protesting to end prior to ending the currency auctions. All they need to so is continue with the project to delete the zeros, pop out the new promised rate and move forward with the reinstatement. Certainly pressure from the US is going to let them do it now...(post 2 of 2)... ......
