BRICS = thieves and dictators running a currency exchange. Good luck with that! 😆

-Call For Political And Social Forces To The “Trial Of The Century” Great to read about this goal. What will be more amazing is if it happens and if they can claw some of that money back. Too early to buy the popcorn, though! People, like Mr. Potato Head, still need held accountable for the Camp Speicher massacre, too

I reckon it is a macro economics tool to buouy the banking system (govt and private), put out/pay for govt contracts into the private sector (ie, invest in infrastructure, housing, roads, etc.). Probably connected to the budget that is waiting to be approved. Could also be some kind of process forced on Iraq to push privatisation. Eg. Govt. debt and private sector holdings tend to be tethered especially in more developed economies, but I ain't educated enough to explain 'why?' Or, it's Iraq, so it could just be Maliki and his cronies on the rob, again!

Quote of the week: Member: Mark. Thank you for keeping us grounded. You are the best !! 🤣😂

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – US and Iraqi military sources revealed that those killed in a US bombing near Baghdad last week included a Yemeni drone expert who went to Iraq to train militants supported by Iran. The incident demonstrates the wide-ranging collaboration amongst armed groups Tehran backs, according to The Washington Post. US officials revealed that the United States launched an airstrike last Tuesday against a base belonging to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in southern Baghdad. Security and medical sources in Iraq said that four members of the PMF, which includes multiple armed groups linked with Iran, were killed and four others were wounded, according to Reuters. The PMF said in a statement that some of its members were killed and others were injured after missiles launched from drones targeted its base in northern Babylon (southern Baghdad) on Tuesday at 9:30 pm, the Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported. The US officials further explained that the strike was directed towards militants who the US believes were attempting to launch drones and constitute a danger to US and coalition forces. Several rockets were fired the week before toward the Ain Al-Asad air base in western Iraq, which is home to US-led forces. No damage or injuries were reported. None of the rockets, according to US sources, struck the base. With 2,500 US soldiers stationed in Iraq and Iran-backed militias connected to the PMF, Iraq has seen an increase in assaults since the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out last October. https://www.iraqinews.com/iraq/yemeni-drone-specialist-killed-in-us-strike-in-iraq/ Amr Salem August 6, 2024

Maybe this should be in the rumors section, but it sounds like Ali Al-Alaq has asked to be relieved of his post. His sticky fingers have probably been used to leverage him out of his position. That is great news if true.

I agree with you and would add bankers won't want to take the risk right now if another war kicks off in the ME. Too risky! They like calmer times to rob you. Maliki, now, he is a whole other subsidiary, likely trapped by Iran and has no choice but to go all in whenever he is directed.

"the corrupt politicians Piggy bank" = pseudonym for "Iraq"

... must be the Jordanian banks that are part of Iran's 'hydra.'

Getting Iranian sticky fingers out of the system with need on-going reform!?

It is quite clever riling up the citizenry with cost increases across the board and correlating that with nationalist fervor against those robbing them and getting in the way of their progress. This swell of public opinion is intentional and part of moving folks away from the pro-Iranian cartels/terrorists and the Iranian government's propaganda. I wonder who taught the Iraqis that trick!?

I tried hypnosis. Worked for me except when I was drinking. I only smoke the odd bowl every now and then. Cigarette free for over 25 years!

He (@horsesoldier) has been saddled with this investment so long, he likes to stirrup things here as our mane commentator. He never reigns it in, as it behooves him to keep us entertained!

That blog article is dated 2012. Here is an old article 2018 showing the conglomerate no longer owns AMC: https://variety.com/2021/film/news/china-wanda-group-amc-theatres-1234929145/ As to who owns AMC, now, with so many synthetics out there, who knows!

When the stock market is just propped up and maintained by a massive and ever expanding derivatives balloon, it won't matter who owns what when it bursts! But, I ain't heard that news or read that news anywhere. Cheers!
