3n1... I agree it seems to have been put on hold especially after Zaha's death. However, this was stated, "In January 2018, construction activities commenced and are underway with completion scheduled by December 2021" at this site.... https://www.reportbuyer.com/product/4907858/cbi-new-central-bank-of-iraq-headquarters-iraq-project-profile.html and this is currently listed on Newtecnic's website makes me think they have begun to proceed in it's construction. http://www.newtecnic.com/central-bank-of-irak/ Fingers crossed.

US has largest debt in world history, dollar to lose status as No.1 currency – Jim Rogers Published time: 24 May, 2018 11:17 Edited time: 24 May, 2018 14:00 © Thomas White / Reuters The US dollar is becoming less appealing for investors as American debt continues to soar and the greenback is printed to cover it, investor Jim Rogers said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). The American currency will lose the status of main reserve currency much sooner than 2030, Rogers said at the Valdai Club’s discussion session, held as part of SPIEF. “Dollar is going to be higher than now because the turmoil is coming. Then, it is going to be overpriced and people will look around and say, ‘America’s got the largest debt in the history of the world. It’s printing money as fast as it can,’” the investor said. People will look at what Brazil, Russia, China, India, Iran and other developing countries are doing, Rogers said. “They are forming a competing currency right now,” he added. So, the dollar alternative will come from the countries that “have been bossed by the US, and they don’t like it, but have enough power to do something about it.” Rogers went on to say that organizations such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank “have never been right about anything” and should be abolished, since they have been politically dependent on the United States for decades. Speaking separately to RT, the businessman said that sanctions and trade wars are the biggest threat to the world’s economic stability. “The world has learned throughout history that closing off is not good, opening up is good,” Rogers said. https://www.rt.com/business/427638-dollar-reserve-currency-jim-rogers/

I didn't seem to get the second e-mail yet I checked my settings and everything seems to be correct as far as my e-mail address is concerned. Am I missing or not understanding something?

Do you think the Iraqi people would want to trade? Our president for their prime minister? Then maybe we could get something done here at home. And as a bonus we could throw in some congressmen as well.

Reminds me of a man who called into Mark Levin's radio show to tell him that his wife won't listen to his show because he's too abrasive. Needless to say Mark Levin announced that the caller clearer doesn't wear the pants in the family and that his wife doesn't have any say in how he runs HIS OWN SHOW! He chastised the caller for that throughout the whole show. Very entertaining.

Do these people know how to read a calendar? Sheesh!
