The Demoncraps have been shutting down AMERICAN businesses since the 1990's! Back in 1997 when Bill Clinton aka "Slick Willie" was President and shutting down businesses. The factory my husband was working in, shut it's doors and sent the jobs to Mexico (cheap labor), as well as a "Union Busting" tactic. We had always been lead to believe that the dems supported the Unions. That was until Clinton took office. 😡 Fortunately for us, my husband had gotten his 25 years in just months before the shut down. They paid for him to go back to school, to train for something else. He went to a local community college, took a one year (at the time that was all it took) course in diesel mechanic training. He graduated and worked for about another 22 years as a diesel mechanic. He retire on his 66th birthday. Jump ahead to about 13 months ago. A paper factory just a few miles from where we live, shut it's doors after almost 120 years! Many of my husbands' family worked there. His father and lots of uncles and cousins. Our son even worked there for few years, until just before they announced the shut down. He went back to driving a truck. BUT not over the road. He went to work for a construction company. He drives a dump truck most of the time. But the company owner liked his over the road, CDL experience and record, and has him driving an 18 wheeler from time to time, to move heavy construction equipment when needed. I just pray that Biden looses in a landslide! We have got to save OUR country!

APIKUR members prepared to sell oil through Iraq’s SOMO Amr Salem June 23, 2024 1192 3 min Workers at Tawke oil field in Iraqi Kurdistan. Photo: AFP/Getty Images Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The spokesperson of the Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan (APIKUR), Myles Caggins, revealed on Saturday that APIKUR member companies are eager to sell oil through the State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO). Caggins told Kurdistan24 that the step is backed by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and seeks to solve outstanding concerns related to transparency and delayed payments. Oil sales through SOMO will give total transparency to the federal government in Baghdad and enable quick payment for oil sales. Under the old arrangement, oil companies faced considerable delays in receiving payments because they relied on Baghdad and Erbil to resolve budget concerns. According to Caggins, foreign oil companies agree with the KRG that the resumption of oil exports via the Iraq-Turkey pipeline, under the supervision of SOMO, is the best option. Turkey stopped receiving oil flows from the Kurdistan region of Iraq on March 25, 2023, following an arbitration decision issued by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris. The decision obliged Turkey to pay Baghdad $1.5 billion in compensation for damages caused by the KRG’s export of oil without permission from the federal government in Baghdad between 2014 and 2018. The KRG began exporting crude oil independently in 2013, a step Baghdad considered illegal. APIKUR recently contradicted media reports that falsely blame the current conflict over the restart of oil shipments via the Iraq-Turkey pipeline on the inflexibility of foreign oil companies. According to media sources, current discussions have stalled because oil corporations operating in Iraqi Kurdistan have taken an unyielding posture. However, no coordinated conversations between international oil businesses, Iraqi government officials, and the KRG have taken place since January 2024. Several multinational oil firms have ceased production, and supplies have yet to restart, despite several meetings between Iraqi Kurdish officials, the federal government in Baghdad, and Turkish authorities.

Al-Sudani: Lifting the ban on Iraqi Airlines is a file that receives great government attention PoliticsIraqSudanese 2024-06-23 // 03:50 Shafaq News / Today, Sunday, Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani chaired a meeting of the committee charged with ending the European embargo on Iraqi Airlines. A statement issued by the Sudanese media office stated that the latter reviewed the measures taken by the competent committee within the efforts to end the ban and its requirements, and in the field of developing the work of the airline company and automating all its joints, as well as in the field of repairing and maintaining aircraft, and continuing efforts to develop the capabilities of the company’s cadres and facilities, and upgrading The level of services provided to passengers, commensurate with the status and role of airlines, as a civilized interface for Iraq. He stressed the need to fulfill the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) as quickly as possible, and keep pace with global development in the field of air transport for passengers and goods, as well as working according to specific time frames to set and achieve targets. Al-Sudani stressed that lifting the ban on Iraqi Airlines is one of the issues that receives great attention from the government, and it is a file that cannot be tolerated. He stated that legal measures will be taken against those who are negligent in meeting the requirements and following up on this file. In June 2023, the former Minister of Transport and member of the current Iraqi Parliament, Amer Abdul-Jabbar Ismail, announced the extension of the air ban on Iraqi civil aviation in European airspace. Abdul Jabbar said in a statement at the time, that the European Aviation Authority Agency (EASA) issued an extension of the ban on the Iraqi Airways Company. The air ban on the Iraqi Airlines company in European airspace occurred since 1991, after Saddam Hussein’s regime invaded the State of Kuwait and imposed international sanctions on the country as a result. Ismail said: It was not lifted until 2009, during our work in the Ministry of Transport 2008/2010. He also stated, “After we left the ministry at the end of 2010, the performance trend of this sector began to decline until it culminated in August 2015 with the re-ban again. Ismail also pointed out that since 2015, successive governments have not realized that the ban is neither a political matter nor a tribal issue, and traveling for supplication and begging is of no use, and you do not need a ruler or a fortuneteller for any luck. He continued by saying that the matter is that there are regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the European Air Navigation Safety Agency (EASA) that must be implemented. https://shafaq.com/ar/سیاسة/السوداني-رفع-الحظر-عن-الخطوط-الجوية-العراقية-من-الملفات-التي-تحظى-باهتمام-كبير

I ask everyone, both left and right, to publish any articles discussing the topic. Even our resident liberals are welcome to publish the messages they have, because WW3 is something that must be looked at from all angles. This is something no one wants to see. Matt Murphy Role,BBC News 24 June 2024, 13:15 BST Updated 29 minutes ago Russia has blamed the US and vowed "consequences" for a Ukrainian missile strike on Sevastopol in occupied Crimea on Sunday, which officials say killed four people - including two children. Around 150 more were injured in the attack as missile debris fell on a beach nearby. Russia's defence ministry said the missiles used by Ukraine were US-supplied ATACMS missiles, and claimed they were programmed by US specialists. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov called the strike "barbaric" and accused the US of "killing Russian children". He pointed towards comments by President Vladimir Putin, who recently vowed to target countries supplying weapons to Ukraine. Moscow said Sunday's deaths and injuries were caused by falling debris, after its air defences in Crimea intercepted five missiles loaded with cluster warheads launched by Ukrainian forces. Footage carried on Russian state TV showed chaos on the beach in the Uchkuyevka area, as people ran from the falling debris and some injured people were carried away on sun loungers. Russia's defence ministry claimed on Sunday that all ATACMS missiles are programmed by US specialists and guided by American satellites. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reiterated the claim during a meeting in Minsk on Monday, saying that the system "cannot be used without the direct participation of the American military, including satellite capabilities". The US has been supplying ATACMS missiles to Ukraine for over a year. The system allows Ukrainian forces to strike targets up to 300km (186 miles) away, according to manufacturer Lockheed Martin. was in effect "a large military camp" which he said held "hundreds of direct military targets, which the Russians are cynically trying to hide and cover up with their own civilians". The UN's human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine says at least 10,000 civilians have been killed since Russia invaded in February 2022. The real figure, officials say, is likely to be far higher

more than ever

This tells me it’s been lifted….another great sign we are very very close

It's very good news because the HCL brings us a new exchange rate. Frankie must of read one of Adam's opinions. I think most of what Frankie comes up with are other peoples information. All other intel is from his high level 3 letter agency intel!

pimpy... complete dork

Remember that I challenged people out there. I would give them $5,000 if they could have a debate with me and prove me wrong about anything that I'm saying. Chance to make a little side hustle money outside of the investment! Easy money! I wonder if he is giving out $5000 in dinars? Just asking?

These articles are extremely long because they are mental warfare intended to prepare the world for WW3.

https://nationalinterest.org/feature/taiwan-and-china’s-nuclear-shield-211572 If war with China unfolds under the shadow of nuclear escalation, it will be effectively a two-front war with Russia included, regardless of whether one or both powers are actually engaged in the fighting. by Ben Ollerenshaw Julian Spencer-Churchill Follow @Ju_Sp_Churchill on TwitterL Whether China blockades or invades Taiwan, Beijing will be executing its strategy from behind its nuclear shield, making any conflict one under the conditions of a limited nuclear war, even if there is no nuclear detonation. Columbia University professor Richard K. Betts has argued that the evidence in past nuclear crises is that in a stand-off between weapons of immense power, outcomes depend not on total warheads but on the balance of interest between the adversaries. In other words, for the West to prevail in a contest over Taiwan, it must demonstrate greater resolve in protecting the principle of self-determination than Beijing’s powerful claim to national reunification. This is a troubling point. As the young twenty-three-year-old John F. Kennedy noted in his senior thesis, Why England Slept, democracies are usually at least two years behind totalitarian states in preparations for war. Taiwan is even less psychologically prepared for war than Ukraine was in 2022. The United States, for its part, still has its head buried very deep in the sand when it comes to the potential role of nuclear weapons in this flashpoint. China provides no unclassified figures pertaining to the size of its nuclear arsenal, leaving the public to rely on the Department of Defense’s (DoD) annual China Power Report. The most recent report credits China with “more than 500” nuclear warheads now and “over 1,000” by 2030. These figures probably constitute minimum estimates—politically motivated to make China’s nuclear forces appear weaker than they actually are, thereby justifying the administration’s de facto minimum deterrence policy—rather than most likely estimates of current or future warhead totals. mobilized neighbors. This foreign policy behavior is typical of a hyper-centralized leadership suffering “propaganda blowback,” meaning it has come to believe and act on its own militant nationalist propaganda. As far as China is concerned, President Xi’s present adventurous foreign policy is hardly unprecedented. One of the great ironies of history is that China’s split with the Soviet Union, which ultimately drove China to partner with the United States, was partly engendered by Mao’s fervent belief that Nikita Khrushchev—hardly the most restrained of Russian leaders—was not being aggressive enough towards the West. To a gathering of world Communist Party leaders in 1957, Mao expressed the following view on nuclear war: [...] if the worst came to the worst and half of mankind died, the other half would remain while imperialism would be razed to the ground and the whole world would become socialist; in a number of years there would be 2,700 million people again and definitely more.

I don't care who you are or what political affiliation you have, this is pathetically sad. We had a saying when I was in the Marines, " you don't put on a condom unless you’re gonna...you know the thing.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-aircraft-carrier-arrives-south-075220931.html SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A nuclear-powered U.S. aircraft carrier arrived Saturday in South Korea for a three-way exercise involving Japan as they step up military training to cope with North Korean threats, which have escalated following a security pact with Russia. The arrival of the USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group in Busan came a day after South Korea summoned the Russian ambassador to protest a major deal between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this week. The agreement pledges mutual defense assistance in the event of war. South Korea says the deal poses a threat to its security and warned that it could consider sending arms to Ukraine to help fight off the Russian invasion as a response — a move that would surely ruin its relations with Moscow. Following a meeting between their defense chiefs in Singapore earlier in June, the United States, South Korea and Japan announced the Freedom Edge drills. The Roosevelt strike group will participate in the exercise that is expected to start within June. South Korea’s military didn’t immediately confirm specific details of the training. Rear Admiral. Christopher Alexander, commander of Carrier Strike Group Nine, said the exercise is aimed at sharpening tactical proficiency of ships and improving interoperability between the countries' navies "to ensure we are ready to respond to any crisis and contingency." South Korea’s navy said in a statement that the arrival of the carrier demonstrates the strong defense posture of the allies and “stern willingness to respond to advancing North Korean threats.” The carrier’s visit comes seven months after another U.S. aircraft carrier, the USS Carl Vinson, came to South Korea in a show of strength against the North. Following completion of the exercise, the Roosevelt strike group will leave for the Middle East to “continue promoting regional stability, deter aggression, and protect the free flow of commerce in the region,” Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement. The Roosevelt strike group also participated in a three-way exercise with South Korean and Japanese naval forces in April in the disputed East China Sea, where worries about China’s territorial claims are rising. In the face of growing North Korean threats, the United States, South Korea and Japan have expanded their combined training and boosted the visibility of strategic U.S. military assets in the region, seeking to intimidate the North. The United States and South Korea have also been updating their nuclear deterrence strategies, with Seoul seeking stronger assurances that Washington would swiftly and decisively use its nuclear capabilities to defend its ally from a North Korean nuclear attack.

Russia summons the American ambassador over a deadly attack that Moscow says used US-made missiles The Associated Press June 24, 2024, 8:01 AM https://wtop.com/russia-ukraine-war-news/2024/06/russia-summons-the-american-ambassador-over-a-deadly-attack-that-moscow-says-used-us-made-missiles/

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/world-war-three-too-late-history-violence/ Imagine, for a moment, that the Iranian government ann­ounces it has developed a nuc­lear bomb and threatens to use it on Israel. The United States reacts with the threat of military intervention, as it did in 1991 and 2003 in Iraq. Iran signals that it will not tolerate a third Gulf war and looks for allies. American forces mass to enter Iran, which orders national mobilisation. Russia, China and North Korea express their support for Iran, and Washington expands its intervention force, bringing in a British contingent. Russia enters the game, raising the stakes in the expectation that the West will back down. A nuclear standoff follows, but with tense and itchy fingers on both sides, as leaders gamble on the risk of not striking first, it all ends in disaster. The Third World War begins with an exchange of nuclear fire, and the rest, as they say, is history. Or picture this: Chinese frustration over the status of Taiwan prompts a build-up of invasion forces. The United States is pre­occupied with its own domestic political crisis. Japan anxiously watches the exchange of harsh words between China and Taiwan, wondering whether to intervene. The United Nations condemns Chinese actions, and China repudiates the censure and orders invasion, confident that a quick victory will prevent others from intervening, as Hitler hoped when he invaded Poland in 1939. The United States now activates contingency plans to save Taiwan, and each side uses tactical nuclear weapons against the other’s armed forces. North Korea and Russia side with China. There is no general nuclear strike, but Russia warns Europe to keep out, dividing American strategy between the two theatres, as it was in the Second World War. The conflict continues to escalate. Now let’s consider a totally different kind of global conflict. The growing division between the democratic West and the arc of authoritarian states across Eurasia has entered a dangerous new chapter. Neither side wants to risk outright war, but there is a possibility that destroying satellite communications will undermine the military and economic capability of the other side. Without warning, the West’s satellite communication ­system is attacked and massive damage is done to its commercial and military electronic networks. No one claims to have launched the missiles, but, in the chaos that follows, blame is quickly directed at anti-Western states. Retaliation is difficult to mount with the collapse of communications. Uncertain what to do, military mobilisation is ordered across the Western world, but Russia and China demand that it ceases. As in 1914, the wheels, once set in motion, are hard to stop, and the crisis grows. Welcome to the First Space War. These three scenarios are poss­ible, though not one of them, I should make clear, is probable. ­Predicting – more accurately, imagining – the wars of the future can produce dangerous fantasies that promote anxiety over future security. It is likely that even the most plausible prognosis will be wrong. The development of nuclear weapons has substantially changed the terms of any future global conflict. There are no doubt contingency plans prepared by armed forces everywhere to meet a range of possibilities that might otherwise be regarded as fanciful in the real world. And while history may help us to think about the shape of a future war, the lessons of history are seldom learnt. Yet the question of how a third world war might erupt haunts us today more than at any time since the end of the last world war. The very act of guessing is proof of our expectation that warfare of some kind remains a fact in a world of multiple insecurities. Conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, Myanmar and Sudan are a reminder of that ever-present reality. And regular threats from Russia about using nuclear weapons suggest that our fantasies may not be so wide of the mark after all. CLICK ON THE LINK TO SEE THE REST

Kaperoni Until Iraqi parliament passes the over 100 stalled laws that pertain to the success and growth of their economy, nothing will happen and the dinar will remain weak. The RV-RI can still happen before the 100 stalled laws are passed. Then the wealth will be there, the investors will come & the economy will grow. IMHO.

Baghdad to fulfill IATA and ICAO requirements Amr Salem June 23, 2024 1235 3 min An Iraqi Airways Boeing 747 sits at Baghdad International Airport. Photo: AFP Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, gave directions on Sunday related to lifting the ban imposed on Iraqi Airways. Al-Sudani’s remarks took place during a meeting he chaired to review the European embargo placed on Iraqi Airways, according to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). The Iraqi Prime Minister reviewed the measures taken by the committee tasked with ending the ban imposed on Iraq’s national carrier. The meeting addressed the continuing efforts to develop the capabilities of the employees and facilities of Iraqi Airways to improve the services provided to travelers. Al-Sudani highlighted the need to meet the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) as quickly as possible, confirming that lifting the ban imposed on Iraqi Airways is one of the priorities on the government’s agenda. The Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority (ICAA) confirmed last July that committing to international standards will help lift the ban imposed by the European Union (EU) on Iraqi Airways, according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA). The president of the authority, Imad Al-Asadi, met in July with a delegation from the EU at Baghdad International Airport, where both sides discussed work mechanisms and possible coordination to develop the civil aviation sector in Iraq. The ICAA President indicated at that time the authority’s commitment to international standards and that its continuous communication with EU officials will contribute to lifting the European ban imposed on Iraqi Airways. Iraq’s national carrier was banned from flying to Europe in 2015 because it did not meet the ICAO’s safety standards.

So, as you asked, I did some research. I'm going to focus on Mississippi because I lived there longer than anywhere else. What you're failing to consider is the income level for each state. Mississippi has the highest level of poverty in the nation. Around 20% living on less than $20,000 a year. From your article. Mississippi Big Mac price: $3.91 What Is Considered Low Income for Seniors in Mississippi? https://www.wjtv.com/news/state/study-mississippi-among-least-affordable-states-in-us/ A low income for seniors in Mississippi is defined as less than 80% of the median income of $49,111 for a household and $26,807 for a single individual. Using these figures from the U.S. Census, a senior household receiving less than $39,288.80 per year or a single senior receiving less than $21,445.60 per year is considered low income. In contrast, an income under 50% of the area median income is considered a very low income. In Mississippi, 19.4% of people live beneath the U.S. Federal poverty line, which is defined as less than $14,580 per year for a single-person household or $19,720 for a family of two. With the average income level just over $40,000. To fully understand what this means we must also consider the average cost of living. Study: Mississippi among least affordable states in US Garret Grove 3 months ago https://www.wjtv.com/news/state/study-mississippi-among-least-affordable-states-in-us/ The article is long so I'll pull the relevant info. USA Today recently calculated the cost of living across all 50 states. It found that Mississippi’s overall cost was $37,949 on average. Though that is the lowest cost in the U.S., the state also has the lowest median household income nationally at $52,719. Therefore, resident’s cost of living takes about 72% of their paycheck, the eighth highest percentage nationally. Mississippian’s average yearly grocery spending adds up to $3,488. Dollar-wise, it is the fifth highest amount nationally. This amount is 6.6% of the median household income for a Mississippi family. Groceries have a bigger impact on Mississippian’s budgets on average than residents of any other state. At 13.6%, Mississippi has the seventh-highest healthcare costs as a percentage of income nationally. Gas typically costs Mississippians $1,712 yearly. That takes up around 3.3% of the overall income of the typical Mississippi household, the third-highest share in the United States. You should be able to figure it out. With the cost of just a Big Mac around $4 dollars the cost of a Big Mac meal, fries and drink is around $8 dollars. When you consider that the cost of living is around 72%, and not taking into account unexpected expenses like car repairs and home repairs, That Big Mac meal is extremely high and something that most Missippians could only buy as a treat. And none of this takes away from the fact that McDonald's CEO has said his company is in serious trouble because poor people (which was their biggest source of income) has sharply fallen. Please note that I used only left wing sources in my reply.

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Measures by the CBI they say will reduce the dollar rate. They say it will help reduce the dollar rate in coming days. FRANK: The only measure the CBI is taking to reduce the amount of dollars in your country is the introduction of a new exchange rate that will add value to your currency, to your lower notes, and eradicate the need of using any foreign currency. This is the goal of the monetary reform process. I agree, in the coming days this mechanism will bring forth value to your currency and continue to remove the American dollar from your society. Clare Video "IBBC Webinar: Drivers of the Iraqi Dinar Exchange Rate" Description "On a webinar organized by the Iraq Britain Business Council (IBBC)...Professor Frank Gunter of Lehigh University and Dr Ahmed Tabaqchali of AFC Iraq Fund (and Expert Blogger on Iraq Business News) discussed the drivers of the Iraqi dinar exchange rate." [Note: In the video you'll see a debate of the pros and cons of the Iraqi dinar's potential. Many things the gurus have reported are confirmed in this video...some are challenged.]

Kaperoni Article quote: "new pipeline project at an amount estimated at approximately 6.5 billion Iraqi dinars ($4.9 billion)" Community Comment "The mathematical 'mistake' basically equals 1.32. This seems very very coincidental to the deletion of the zeros." Referencing the exchange rate in billions rather than trillions is an easy mistake to make. It happens all the time and everyone thinks there's something to it. Wrong. I hope Kap is wrong, and it wasn't just a mistake in typing. This is no mathematical mistake. This has happened on several occasions. Iraqis don't keep on making the same mathematical mistake over & over. IMHO.
