Deputy Chair of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Ikhlas al-Dulaimi, ruled out the government's submission of Budget Schedules within the next two months on Wednesday, while confirming that the 2025 Budget amounts to 216 trillion Iraqi Dinars. Al-Dulaimi said, "The Ministry of Finance has not yet sent the 2025 Budget Tables to the Council of Ministers, even though they were supposed to be sent in October 2024, in accordance with the Financial Management Law, for approval before the start of the new year." She added, "The total Budget amount is 216 trillion Dinars, while actual spending is estimated at about 160 trillion Dinars." Al-Dulaimi ruled out "sending the tables to the House of Representatives within the next two months," noting that "the Ministry of Finance has not yet completed their preparation, which could lead to the postponement of Budget approval until AFTER the 2025 elections." Last February, the Iraqi Parliament voted on the draft law amending the 1st law of the Federal General Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq for the fiscal years (2023 - 2024 - 2025) No. (13) of 2023. -Tishwash: Kurdistan Region Confirms Oil Sales Through SOMO: We Will Give Our Money To Baghdad. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) on Wednesday affirmed the region's firm position to implement an amendment to the Budget Law, allowing the region's oil to be exported & sold through SOMO, with the proceeds returned to the federal Ministry of Finance. A statement issued by the Kurdistan Regional Government's Council of Ministers, seen by Al-Eqtisad News, said, "The President of the Council, Masrour Barzani, held a meeting attended by his deputy, Qubad Talabani, during which the PM instructed the Ministry of Finance & Economy to prepare a schedule for distributing salaries to Kurdistan Region employees for the month of February, after the deposit of 958 billion Dinars into the ministry's account for that month." The Council decided to begin distributing salaries starting tomorrow. All ministries & institutions were also tasked with preparing March payrolls as soon as possible & sending them to the Federal Ministry of Finance, with the goal of disbursing them before the Eid al-Fitr holiday. The statement confirmed that "in the 1st part of the meeting, Kamal Mohamed Saleh, Acting Minister of Natural Resources, reviewed the latest developments in the joint meetings between the Ministry of Natural Resources & the Federal Ministry of Oil, in the presence of representatives of oil companies." The minister explained the efforts being made to resume the region's oil exports within the framework of the federal Budget Law. The Council of Ministers commended the Ministry of Natural Resources' efforts to accelerate the process of resuming oil exports & its joint work with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil to resolve the obstacles related to the process. The Council also affirmed the "regional government's firm position to implement the amendment to the Budget Law so that the region's oil is exported & sold through SOMO and its revenues are returned to the federal Ministry of Finance." Luigi's two cents worth: The Budget may be delayed until after the 2025 election. This should not have any direct effect on the RV-RI release date & rate. The good news is...the IMF recommends strengthening the Iraqi Dinar. It appears the dispute with the Kurds over getting paid has been resolved. All Kurdish oil will be turned over to Bafhdad. This is the Erbil Agreement or HCL. All good news yet DO keep in mind the RV-RI is a separated action from HCL & the Budget. IMHO.

Central Bank Prudential Policies to Counter the Impact of Changes in the Global Economy Articles Samir Al-Nusairi For several years, the global system has been witnessing complex economic, financial and security crises, the accumulated causes of which have centered on rising energy and food prices due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, US and European sanctions on Russia, and the Zionist entity's aggression against Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. The Zionist entity continues to employ a strategy of using war and its military machine, with the support of America and Europe, to draw the political, security and economic map of the new Middle East. In addition to the impact of the US-China struggle for global economic control, the divisions in the visions and strategies of the G20, the G7, the BRICS group, and other international groups working to form new economic poles, and finally Trump's new policies of increasing taxes and tariffs on some competing industrial countries, which has led to confusion in the global economic and trade map. The evidence is the current crises that have harmed the economies of major countries before smaller ones, and what we are currently witnessing of high stagflation in most countries of the world, most notably in the United States, the European Union countries, and countries of the geographical region, and the decline in the purchasing power of these countries' local currencies. Therefore, we believe that our economy will suffer in the near term from the negative effects of the global economic system, from the lack of control over the supplies of food and basic commodities, and oil prices may fall below what was planned in the general budget for 2025, in light of the changing circumstances. These effects will lead to negative repercussions on our economy and the methodology of financial and banking reform. Given that economic stability is achieved through stability in the financial and monetary systems, the Central Bank's precautionary measures in 2023 and 2024, and its objectives outlined in its third strategy until 2026, in light of expected developments in future crises, require a fundamental reliance on building foreign reserves at a level that covers the local currency in circulation, imports, external debt repayments, and other international obligations. It also seeks to diversify reserves to include a basket of currencies, gold, bonds, and securities. It also adopts policies and mechanisms to regulate foreign trade financing and comply with international standards. This is exactly what the Central Bank did during this period, as its foreign exchange reserves reached more than $107 billion and 162.7 tons of gold. The World Gold Council announced that Iraq ranks fourth in the Arab world and twenty-eighth globally. This confirms that the Central Bank is proceeding steadily to achieve the objectives of monetary policy in reducing inflation and controlling the general price level. This is what it recently announced, that the annual inflation rate reached 2.8% and the basic rate 2.5%, as well as controlling the money supply and maintaining the exchange rate of the dinar within the balanced price in the trading market, despite the fluctuations from time to time in the exchange rate of the dollar in cash on the black market. Continuous monitoring and analysis of the interest rate set by the Central Bank. This requires fiscal policy, key economic sectors, and the ministries responsible for them to work together and in clear and specific coordination with the Central Bank's management to achieve economic stability, hedge against the global economic crisis, and mitigate its expected future repercussions over the next three years. 569 views Added 03/12/2025 - 12:28 AM https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=53314

Read about that. There's so much coming out I'm getting all these perverts mixed up. Also out today is the police chief in Utah who was busted for some perv thing, then released by a "judge" without bail. During the police investigation of the guys electronics they discovered a sick perv conversation with another guy, talking about how they wanted to molest kids, discussing doing bad things to one of their extended relatives, and apparently discussing getting together for mutual pleasuring. Turns out that "other" guy was the very same judge that had released the cop perv a month earlier. The cop was rearrested, along with the judge yesterday. Then there was the government employee chat last week that was taken down that was dedicated to sex transition people. The article went into some detail about the content, but I didn't bother reading further. The depravity of these folks is absolutely beyond anything the rest of us could possibly conceive. Sure, you could argue it's each person's right to seek out their own form of pleasure, but our laws are a product of our moral compass, and deviants like that have no place in a position of public authority. If these are just the beginning of the revelations we are going to see in these next four years I am a little terrified of hearing what is to come. Please pray for the innocent victims, kids whose entire lives were affected, childhood's destroyed by predatory monsters. There should be a death sentence option for these crimes, as some of their victims will never recover from the abuse.

So with this new digital dinar, does that necessarily mean they have to raise the rate? We know gurudiots say yes. But a dinar is always going to be a dinar, no matter what the rate. So my guess is they 'can' go digital at 1160. If they raise the rate next year, while being digital, the dinar will still be a dinar. But hopefully we'll be surprised and they won't wait....

Important details about the 2025 budget schedules and the date for submitting them to Parliament were revealed. Time: 2025/03/13 02:15:14 Read: 5,085 times {Economic: Al Furat News} The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, revealed important details about the 2025 budget schedule. Saleh said in a press statement: "The budget is based on two main wings: the first is the operational wing, which constitutes between 68 and 70% of total public spending, and covers the salaries of employees, retirees, and social care, while the second wing is allocated to investment in development and service projects. Saleh pointed out that the budget will operate according to spending ceilings estimated at about (200) trillion dinars, with a hypothetical deficit of (64) trillion dinars. This deficit will be financed from internal sources in the event that the average price of a barrel of oil falls below (70) dollars or oil exports fall below (3.4) million barrels per day. He stressed that the government is committed to guaranteeing the salaries of employees and retirees, pointing out that approximately (8) million citizens receive government income, which contributes to the indirect support of approximately (40) million people. He added that implementing service projects, such as water, electricity, schools, and hospitals, will be a parallel priority to securing salaries. For its part, the Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed that the discussion of the 2025 budget will be resolved after it reaches Parliament. Committee member Jamal Koujar explained that the committee will hold a session to discuss the budget once the schedules are received by the parliament, and will submit a report on the matter to the parliament's presidency. https://alforatnews.iq/news/كشف-تفاصيل-مهمة-عن-جداول-موازنة-2025-وموعد-إرسالها-الى-البرلمان

Knew they spent a lot more than a couple days on it, a Russian general was overheard talking about the ongoing "operation" om March 1, and how if successful it could change the course of the war. Here's a short list of the steps they took: 1) The gas pressure pumps were stopped and the gas was sucked out 2) Oxygen was pumped into the pipeline 3) Diggers dug out rooms for assembly and toilets were installed 4) Water, food and ammunition was brought in to these assembly rooms 5) 800 soldiers went through the pipe to the assembly rooms 6) The soldiers waited 4 days in the assembly rooms and in the pipe close to the exit 7) When the signal was given, they ran out and went into the industry zone of Sudzha 8) The Ukrainian army was surprised to see such a huge force in their rear, they began to panic and became disorganized 9) Russians liberated many settlements in Kursk region, due to this Read about how several were still overcome by fumes, rushed out, and were almost lost. Every single one volunteered, even after getting 800 fully armed and geared solders grouped at the end they had to camp there for four days waiting for the order after the infil LZ was cleared by overhead drones and missiles. That's insane! I don't care what your politics are, those guys deserve respect.

The Association of Private Banks organizes a dialogue session to discuss the latest developments in the banking sector in Iraq. Uses Economy News - Baghdad The Iraqi Private Banks Association organized a dialogue session to discuss the latest developments in the banking sector in Iraq, including deprived banks and fines imposed by the Central Bank. The session was attended by the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, and representatives of banks and electronic payment companies. At the beginning of the session, the Chairman of the Iraqi Private Banks Association, Wadih Al-Handhal, welcomed the Governor and the participants, stressing the importance of joint cooperation between the Central Bank, banks, and electronic payment companies to enhance financial stability and develop the banking system in accordance with the latest international standards.

He explained that deprived banks work daily to implement global financial requirements and are subject to daily fines, calling for these fines to be suspended and reviewed by the Central Bank of Iraq. For his part, the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, addressed the Central Bank's measures related to banks barred from using the dollar, noting signs of optimism in discussions with the US side on this issue. He stressed that the Central Bank supports the establishment of digital banks, with 75 banks having applied for them, contributing to accelerating the digital transformation of the banking sector in Iraq.

Agree. with the Goat... Going digital will have no direct effect on the rate & date. An article out today by the IMF recommends strengthening the Iraq Dinar. Going digital are mainly to stop money laundering, control corruption & reducing the total note count. IMHO.

Today, the Green News scam ends, as the EPA does its part to usher in the golden age of American success,” Zeldin said. “Our actions will lower the cost of living by making it more affordable to purchase a car, heat your home, and operate a business. Jobs will be created, especially in the U.S. auto industry, and our nation will become stronger for it. From the campaign trail, to day one, and beyond, President Trump has delivered on his promise to unleash energy dominance and lower the cost of living.

Not verified. Your opine. FROM IRAQI SOURCES: Iraqi Ports: Plans To Establish An Industrial Zone & Large Companies At The Grand Faw Port. ARTICLE: The Iraqi General Ports Company confirmed on Wednesday that it has reached advanced stages of contracting with an int'l company to manage & operate the Faw Port. It also indicated that a large package of projects will be announced at the Faw Port, similar to the refinery package. The Director of the Iraqi Ports Company, Farhan Al-Fartousi, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “The fixed portion of the submerged tunnel will soon be 100% completed. It will consist of two outbound lanes & two return lanes connected externally to the highway and internally to the submerged tunnel.” He explained that “the submerged portion consists of 10 concrete blocks, 11 meters high, 34 meters wide & 126 meters long, weighing 45,000 tons. These blocks were entirely poured into a special basin called the Submerged Tunnel Basin.” He added, “After the sections were constructed, they were inspected & prepared. Then, the flotation process began, i.e., lifting them with water & transporting them to the designated location. Then, the process of submerging & connecting them to the fixed sections began.” He explained that “our staff and the companies working with us—the Italian company Technical, which supervised the project, the Korean company Daewoo, which implemented the project & the Dutch company specializing in such work worldwide—were able to connect the 1st section & place it in place. They opened it to the fixed section & it became part of the tunnel. We toured & were present at this section, while at the same time, the staff began floating the 2nd section until it was fully formed. After the ten sections are connected, the tunnel will be complete & ready to operate across both banks, whether from Um Qasr to Al-Faw or vice versa.” Al-Fartousi further explained that “very advanced stages have been reached to contract with a scientific company to manage & operate the port. We are awaiting the consulting company’s opinion on the contracting mechanism, regulations & other details. After that, the file will be presented to the Supreme Committee for approval & we will proceed with the contract.” Al-Fartousi pointed out that “there is a large package of projects, including the naval base project, which will be contracted within a month or a month and a half, followed by the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal project. This is in addition to the large project, which is a refinery within the port complex & a petrochemical plant. Contracts have been signed by the Ministry of Oil & we are following up on this file, which will be operational soon.” He added, “We have a plan to establish an industrial zone & there are correspondences & companies interested in entering this large project. A large package of projects similar to the refinery package will soon be announced in the port of Faw.” -Iraq Is Preparing To Launch The Digital Dinar… A Step Towards A Cashless Economy! The CBI is preparing to launch a national digital currency as part of a gradual shift toward a digital financial system aimed at reducing the use of paper money & enhancing transparency & financial inclusion. The initiative relies on modern payment technologies & seeks to reduce transaction costs & combat money laundering. Despite the lack of adequate digital infrastructure. The CBI, meanwhile, reiterates its rejection of cryptocurrencies, deeming them illegal & warns against the activity of fictitious trading companies in the local market. The Gov of the CBI, Ali Al-Alaq, revealed that the country’s financial & banking system is undergoing fundamental transformations, most notably the gradual decline in the use of paper currency in favor of digital payments. During his speech at the Ninth Finance & Banking Conference and Exhibition, Al-Alaq confirmed that the CBI is working to create its own digital currency, which will be gradually introduced as an alternative to paper currency, following the experiences of several global central banks. The CBI announced on December 16 that it would not grant any licenses to stock, metals & cryptocurrency trading companies, warning against the activity of fictitious companies claiming to have official licenses. Despite the growing global spread of cryptocurrencies, Iraq doesn’t appear close to entering this high-risk digital world. According to experts, these digital assets do not represent a real addition to the Iraqi economy, which is primarily based on oil exports & Dollar transactions in global markets. Financial affairs expert Mustafa Hantoush told Al-Mada that “Iraq does not have a legislative or economic environment capable of accommodating these currencies. Rather, they could become a tool for speculation & money laundering in the absence of oversight & regulation.” He pointed out that “dealing in them is limited and informal, via external platforms & offices in neighboring countries, exposing investors to the risk of loss & fraud.” Furthermore, according to Hantoush, cryptocurrencies are not based on real reserves or bank guarantees, making them highly volatile & unreliable in fragile markets such as Iraq’s. According to economic researcher Ziyad al-Hashemi, the initiative to launch the “Digital Dinar” is an attempt to eliminate the chronic problems plaguing the monetary system, but its success remains in doubt. In an interview with Al-Mada, Al-Hashemi explained, “There is a fundamental difference between digital currency & cryptocurrencies. Digital currencies, such as the Digital Dollar or the Digital Dirham, are issued & regulated by central banks & are managed within an official regulatory framework. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, operate within a decentralized system that is not subject to any regulatory authority & are highly volatile in value due to their dependence on supply & demand.” Bitcoin was the 1st cryptocurrency, emerging in 2009 as a response to the global financial crisis. It was designed to operate outside the regulatory framework of central banks, making it an attractive tool for some, particularly in digital circles & criminal networks, due to the privacy & speed of money transfers it provides, free from government restrictions. Transactions in Bitcoin are a legal violation, subjecting perpetrators to the provisions of Anti-Money Laundering & Terrorism Financing Law No. 39 of 2015. The bank issued an official statement during the recent Dollar crisis, emphasizing that trading in cryptocurrencies is prohibited & not recognized in the country. Regarding the anticipated Digital Dinar, he points out that “the CBI will be responsible for issuing & circulating it, allowing it to control & monitor financial transactions & contributing to the reduction of financial crimes & making it similar to paper currency in terms of sovereign value, with the difference that its circulation will be electronically only through bank accounts & digital wallets.” Al-Hashemi believes that “the main goal of this step is to reduce reliance on paper Dinars hoarded outside the banking system & advance financial inclusion, as well as to attempt to limit the widespread use of the Dollar in local transactions by enhancing confidence in using the Digital Dinar as an official alternative in daily transactions.” He adds that “the success of this project depends on providing an appropriate environment & strict implementation. If this is achieved, the Digital Dinar could effectively contribute to withdrawing stagnant cash, revitalizing banking activity & stimulating credit, which could positively impact overall economic performance.” However, Al-Hashemi does not hide his pessimism, emphasizing that The CBI currently lacks the basic components needed to ensure the success of this initiative, due to the significant flaws in its monetary policies, the lack of public confidence in the banking system & the recurring political interference in its decisions. He believes that all of these obstacles could make the Digital Dinar a fragile project, suffering from the same problems as the paper Dinar. He concludes by saying, “Ambition alone is not enough. Without genuine reform of monetary policies, strengthening public confidence in banks & distancing politics from the economy, the chances of success of the Digital Dinar remain extremely limited.” Furthermore, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, economic advisor to the PM, believes that “central banks around the world, including the CBI, are still in the gradual preparation phase for the transition to the world of digital payments as a modern alternative to paper currencies.” This shift, he explains, does not change the essence of money & its basic functions. Rather, it seeks only to improve the efficiency of dealing with it and reduce associated costs, in addition to strengthening financial oversight tools & reducing financial crime & money laundering. Saleh confirms to Al-Mada that “this digital transformation in the monetary system does not mean that money will lose its function as a store of value, a means of payment and receipt, or a tool for unit of account & measurement of rights. Rather, these functions will be fully preserved, but within a more transparent, governed & compliant environment to enhancing the monetary authority’s ability to manage monetary stability using the same monetary policy tools.” Saleh explains that “digital money can expand the scope of banking services to include the poorest & most vulnerable segments of society by facilitating the opening of digital bank accounts. Digital money will be available to all citizens, from the smallest monetary unit to the largest, allowing for instant settlement of transactions without delay or wasted rights or time.” He points out that “providing digital liquidity widely within the banking system, with minimal liquidity risk, will enable low-income groups to obtain immediate & affordable digital loans at a lower cost, given that the funds will remain within the banking system & will not require large reserves or financial hedges. This will optimally leverage the digital credit multiplier, enhancing financing & stimulating economic activity without compromising economic stability or causing monetary inflation, as long as monetary policy tools remain effective.” The economic advisor emphasizes that “implementing this project requires precise & extensive investments in information technology, such as smartphones & social networks, along with the necessity of an advanced digital infrastructure, most notably a reliable internet network, as it is the backbone of the success of digital payments. He also emphasizes the importance of a solid legal structure that protects the rights of users & customers & ensures the security of networks from breaches, within a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that aligns with the rapid development of digital services worldwide.”

Russian Commandos Move Troops and Equipment Across 7 Miles of PIPELINE, Emerge in the Ukrainian Defenders’ Rear in a Breakthrough in the Ongoing Liberation of Kursk In the ongoing general offensive of the Russian forces to dislodge the Ukrainians from their bridgehead at the Kursk region, crazy information has surfaced online saying that a hundred Red Army soldiers have passed through a gas pipeline to the rear of Kiev’s Forces positions in the Sudzha area. The below is sourced from the Telegram channels Sputnik, Intel Slava Z, Lord Bebo, and Slavyangrad. The Russian troops had been preparing for this operation for days, clearing the area where the troops would emerge with aerial bombs (FABs). The troops crossed the underground pipes of the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline, through which the Russian Federation supplied gas to Europe through the territory of Ukraine until January 1, 2025. The diameter of one pipe is 1.4 meters.

https://www.givehim15.com/post/the-month-of-miracles March 12, 2025 The Month of Miracles A team of leaders I am associated with has conducted three healing summits over the past several months, two of which were live and streamed online and one of which was only online. We have received reports of many people being healed, including terminally ill individuals. The next Healing Summit will be Friday, April 4, at The Oasis Church in Middletown, Ohio, pastored by my brother, Tim Sheets. Why We Conduct These Summits We are convening these healing summits because we are passionate about seeing people healed, but there is another very important reason. We believe God wants to use these gatherings, and the agreement in prayer surrounding them, to birth a new season of signs and wonders on the earth. This would include the release of gifts of healing and miracles worldwide. Obviously, this means we are not thinking of them as one night events, but as catalytic prayer gatherings to birth something larger and long-term. In no way are they designed to promote our ministries, or to imply any exclusivity whatsoever: we are some of many contending for miracles. Nevertheless, we believe the gatherings are important. Why do we believe Holy Spirit would lead us to conduct these summits as part of birthing a movement? Because God has chosen to work through people in bringing forth His plans on the earth (Zechariah 10:1). Obviously, God did not make us His partners because He NEEDS the help. Rather, He CHOSE to make us partners in His endeavors because He wanted to work with the family He created on earth (Genesis 1:26-28). This decision to involve us is so consequential that, at times, what God offers is unprocured simply because we humans don’t ask for it (James 1:6; 4:2). He wants our involvement. Why This Date? There is a reason we “landed on” April to conduct this next summit. This year, the Hebrew month of Nisan begins on Sunday, March 30th, and ends on April 28. Nisan, the first month of the Jewish calendar, holds profound significance and is often referred to as the “month of miracles.” This designation stems from several key historical and spiritual events that occurred during this time, including Passover (Pesach), which commemorates Israel’s liberation from slavery in Egypt. As we know, Passover was accomplished through a series of miracles, culminating in the parting of the Red Sea, which allowed them to escape Pharaoh's army. The miracles that occurred during Nisan are multifaceted. First, the plagues that struck Egypt, culminating in the final plague—the death of the firstborn—demonstrated God’s power and commitment to liberating His people. The Israelites marked their doorposts with lamb’s blood to protect themselves from the last plague, which was a picture of Christ, our Passover Lamb, redeeming us through His blood. The crossing of the Red Sea in Nisan marked Israel’s transition from slavery to freedom and the beginning of their new national identity. It was just after this Red Sea crossing that Yahweh made the declaration of Exodus 15:26: “If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.” In Jewish tradition, Nisan is a time for spiritual introspection and preparation for the coming year. The month encourages individuals to reflect on their own lives, seeking personal miracles and transformations. This period is seen as an opportunity for new beginnings, paralleling the natural rebirth that occurs in spring, with blooming flowers and new life. We believe that in Nisan, “the month of miracles,” God has led us to mobilize millions of believers around the world to agree in prayer for a new season of signs and wonders to be released. We encourage churches, leaders, and apostolic networks to join us in this effort. While we are thrilled with and encourage the agreement that will occur when others join us during these summits, we believe Holy Spirit wants to orchestrate something much bigger and broader. Therefore, we’re encouraging leaders of churches and networks to ask the Lord if He would have them conduct one or more healing services in Nisan/April. It could be as simple as streaming the April 4th Healing Summit, or perhaps you would prefer conducting your own. In these meetings pray for those needing healing, of course, but also partner with Holy Spirit by asking for a fresh outpouring of signs and wonders. An outpouring of the miraculous will most certainly fuel the revival that has begun. It would be amazing if hundreds, perhaps thousands of healing gatherings took place around the world in April. God could have released the plagues into Egypt as part of Israel’s deliverance without using Moses and his rod of authority, but He chose to use them. He could have rolled back the Red Sea without Moses extending his rod of authority, but He chose to involve him. God could have brought water from the rock without Moses smiting it with the rod of authority, but He chose to use Moses and his staff. Holy Spirit could have healed the man at the gate called Beautiful without Peter taking him by the hand and declaring the miracle (Acts 3:2), but He chose to use the apostle. He could heal the sick without believers laying hands on them, anointing them with oil, etc., but He often chooses to do so in this manner. My point is simply that God desires our involvement; He wants us to ask. He loves involving His kids and working with them to accomplish His purposes. This was His plan from the beginning. Let’s release our faith in “the month of miracles” for a worldwide outpouring of signs and wonders. Join us on April 4, either in person or online at oasiswired.org, and believe for your miracle, as well as the healing of others. And consider joining us throughout the month of April to birth a season of healing around the world. Pray with me: Father, we are incredibly blessed and humbled by the fact that You use us to accomplish Your purposes. We will forever be amazed that You chose to create family and make them a part of Your kingdom coming to earth. We choose to align with these purposes, not allowing them to be frustrated by a lack of involvement on our part. We will partner with You, asking and acting in faith. We continue to release prayers for worldwide revival. And as a part of this, we release faith-filled prayers for signs, wonders, and miracles. We ask for the gifts of Holy Spirit to be released to believers around the world, facilitating these works of power and the fruit of Christ’s redemption. Heal the sick, deliver the oppressed, set captive people free through His body, the church. Do a work so significant in this regard during April/Nisan, that history will record it as a time when great miracles began, just as in Acts 2. We ask that You glorify Jesus, advance Your Kingdom, and release Your compassion to people here in America and around the world. In Jesus’ name we pray this. Amen. Our decree: We agree with the Word of God that states signs and wonders accompany the preaching of the gospel (Mark 16:15-20), and decree that Christ is “the Lord who heals us” (Exodus 15:26). ******************************* Click on the link below to watch the full video.

Former Las Vegas Officer Who Led Route 91 Shooting Investigation and Maui Police Chief During Lahaina Fires Named as Co-Defendant in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Sexual Assault Lawsuit The allegations regarding Pelletier stem from 2018, when he was hired to provide security for Combs. According to the complaint, one of the co-defendants, Shane Pearce, invited the plaintiff, Ashley Parham, to his house on March 23, 2018, following an altercation that he intervened in at a bar a month prior. Combs showed up at the residence with an entourage and ultimately threatened to give Parham a “Glasgow smile” for disparaging remarks she made about Combs’ alleged involvement in rapper Tupac Shakur’s murder. A “Glasgow smile” refers to cuts made from the corner of the mouth, through the cheek and back towards one’s ear, similar to Heath Ledger’s ‘Joker’ in the Dark Knight series. Following the remarks, Combs and several other co-defendants brutally raped the plaintiff, according to the complaint. Parham was able to escape after slashing Combs with a knife in the abdomen and ran outside screaming for the police. As gunshots rang out in her direction, Parham fled to a neighbor’s house and told them she was raped by Combs. The neighbor informed her that they had already called the police. A man dressed as a Contra Costa Sheriff showed up at the home, however, Parham claims that it was actually John Pelletier dressed as a law enforcement officer. As Parham told him that she was violently gang-raped by Combs and others, he told her that the police had received several noise complaints and that she needed to “find a way to get home.” He did not offer her a ride home nor did he call any emergency services. There was no attempt to help her retrieve any of her personal belongings either. According to the complaint, Pelletier handed the neighbor what appeared to be an envelope that Parham believed was full of cash. The neighbor went inside their home and then quickly returned empty-handed. Parham would eventually retrieve her belongings and keys and leave, despite attempts to convince her to stay. The Contra Costa Sheriff’s office confirmed there was a police report that night made by Parham but refused to release any information when requested by Freedom of Information Act requests. These denials include requests from counsel involved in the litigation, stating they would only release it if it were subpoenaed. Prior to the alleged gang rape of Parham, plaintiffs John and Jane Doe, a mother and son, claim that Pelletier had taken them at gunpoint from their Las Vegas homes and “instructed them to get into a black SUV regarding extraditing Plaintiffs for warrants to California.” When the duo asked to see the warrants, Pelletier alleged threatened to shoot them if they “protested further.” The two were then transported to what they believed was Pelletier’s residence on Bay St., in Las Vegas, where they were brought inside and physically restrained. Eventually, they were loaded back into an SUV and then proceeded to be trafficked to “various locations throughout California” to a string of “safe houses,” with Danville, CA, being the first place they were able to identify. The mother and son ultimately ended up at the location where Parham was allegedly being gang raped. The son was prompted to participate while the mother, herself, claimed she was sexually assaulted by Ruben Valdez. When the mother and son were able to escape, they fled to a neighbor and begged them to call 911. The neighbor refused. The two hid until law enforcement responded, however, according to the complaint, Pelletier intercepted the police and told them there was an ongoing federal investigation into drug-trafficking taking place. Pelletier told the police that the plaintiffs were “suspects” in the investigation, and that they were homeless. Defendant Matias Gonzalez then transported the plaintiffs away from the scene and, after a confrontation regarding payment with two other co-defendants, “gave Plaintiffs the keys to the SUV and released them.” The Plaintiffs drove away, eventually stopping to ask for directions to a police station. Neither had phones or a GPS. Plaintiffs went to a police station in Orinda, CA and spoke with an officer, but stopped short of filing a police report, claiming they recalled defendants saying they’d be “deemed crazy and non-believable.” Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen has asked the Police Commissioner to place Pelletier on administrative leave while they conduct an investigation. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/former-las-vegas-officer-who-led-route-91/ Maui Police Department spokesperson Alana Pico denied the allegations, according to MauiNow.com, telling them in an email:

In the Trump administration’s quest to “Make America Healthy Again,” there may be no bigger target than ultraprocessed foods. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s new health secretary, has cited “highly chemically processed foods” as a chief culprit behind an epidemic of chronic disease in the U.S., including ailments such as obesity, diabetes and autoimmune disorders.......

HUD Secretary Scott Turner Rejects Asheville’s $225M Disaster Relief Request After Shocking DEI Clause Exposed Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner has decisively rejected Asheville, North Carolina’s outrageous $225 million disaster relief request. The reason? A jaw-dropping Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) clause buried deep in the city’s draft action plan—a clause that prioritizes woke ideology over the urgent needs of everyday Americans still reeling from Hurricane Helene’s devastation six months ago. In an interview with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo, Secretary Turner condemned the city’s initial draft action plan for prioritizing assistance based on race and gender identity rather than need. “This draft action plan that the city of Asheville presented at first has elements of DEI, and that is not acceptable to HUD,” Turner told Bartiromo. “It’s not acceptable to the President, according to his executive order to get rid of all DEI. We’re working with the city of Asheville. They have been very responsive to make sure that their upcoming draft action plan is in compliance with HUD and how we give funds out according to HUD’s principles.” “We’re happy to be here. They’re working with us, and we’re looking forward to helping the people of Asheville recover from this disaster.”
