I must agree . With all of these MOU´s being signed country after country and in the multi billions of dollars . This is some huge enchilada they are building . If I understand it correctly . As money flows into Iraq (and that sure enough is happening ) it raises inflation which pressures the CBI to act and use its tools to lower it . One of which is to raise the value of their local currency . Add that with the return of ill gotten stolen assest and wealth in even more billions , return to agriculture . the capture of natural gas (which they have never done before) , gold, oil and the list goes on super abundantly . Its amazing what we have all become a part of . Now if we could just see it transform into prosperity , good use and into our private accounts ?
