That is pure evilness!  They need to uproot their government and get an all new one in there that cares about their people.

Remember who helped them set up their government(US). Looks like their gov is working perfect has planned. Getting someone in office who seems to actually care about the people is impossible.

The US gets a president who seems to actually care about the US, it’s citizens, and it’s military and he’s portrayed by many as the most evil and worst president we have ever seen. 

He is not a politician and refuses to play their game of deception and screwing the American citizens, therefore even members of his own party want him out. 

The US is a sad example of a good government.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said on Thursday that US military leaders are preparing a plan that would prevent the Islamic State terrorist group from reappearing in Syria and prevent it from seizing Syrian oil.

"There is a plan under preparation by the Joint Chiefs of Staff that I think might work," Graham told reporters after receiving a briefing from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the White House. He continued: "I feel to some extent that a plan being prepared will meet our core objectives in Syria," according to "Reuters."

A source in the Russian Defense Ministry, confirmed on Thursday, that Moscow will send 276 troops of the military police and 33 units of military equipment to Syria within a week. The Interfax news agency reported on Thursday, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin, as saying that Kurdish forces have begun to withdraw from areas in Syria near the Turkish border. Moscow, a close ally of Syria, asked Syrian Kurdish forces to withdraw from the border area on Wednesday, as part of an agreement between Moscow and Ankara to deploy Syrian and Russian troops in the northeast. Russian military police began deploying on the border in northeast Syria on Wednesday under an agreement with Turkey to drive Kurdish fighters out of the region.

Russian military police arrived in the strategic city of Kobani in Syria on Wednesday, while Moscow warned the YPG forces that they would face a new armed conflict with Turkey if it did not withdraw from the entire border with Syria. Moscow's warning came after it reached an agreement with Turkey calling for the complete withdrawal of fighters of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), formerly an ally of the United States, but Ankara calls them terrorist.

Former Iraqi oil minister and member of the Supreme Parliamentary Committee for Energy Jabbar al-Luaibi described the outcome of the political process in his country as “painful in all its vital joints, left extreme poverty and starvation pressured people, in addition to the low standard of living, and financial waste more than $ 50 billion annually Only the oil sector and other services. ”

 

Loss of the right political vision
He said, in an interview with the Independent Arab, "The current situation has produced an increase in the number of millions of migrants and displaced people inside and outside Iraq, in addition to a devastated economy as a result of the accumulation of events, wars and conflicts that have been going on since the 1980s."

Al-Luaibi added, “The declines continued even after 2003 due to the inevitable policies of the wrong, despite the exit of Iraq from the dominance of the siege during the nineties of the last century.” It led to a decline in decisive reform decisions that would save Iraq from being lost. ”

The Iraqi Minister continued, “The lack of vision to set priorities in the construction of a modern state of the most serious and important reasons that led to the accumulation of setbacks and stop the immediate solutions, and the current government made chaotic decisions in the context of a disgraceful, and without the ability and efficiency to make a qualitative leap in the life of society, despite the potential God blessed Iraq for the land, people, environment and a privileged position that enables the reduction of time and reduce losses, and accelerate the rise of the country.

Decreasing the number of competencies
and around his vision to get out of the overall crisis in Iraq , said Jabbar Allaibi, "If you own vision in setting priorities and work to achieve them through the development process of a successful raise the level of political performance and the employment of the economic factor in solving societal crises, can save the country, which It has come under political and economic pressures at home and abroad, which makes it impossible to solve the most pressing problems.

`` To make matters worse, we are not aware of the nature of the challenges we face.First of all, there has been a decrease in the number of competencies that have been reduced by the pressure of the expelling political factor, and the country's dependence on a single resource, oil, which provides direct revenues that do not need much effort by virtue of its inherited existence. ''

The restructuring of the oil sector
and its long experience in the oil sector, which extends over half a century, says the Iraqi official, “I have received graded positions in the Ministry of Oil for many years, and we had our own vision to make a radical development in this sector, which costs the state budget only a little effort Relying on national capabilities, this vision can yield significant results that provide tremendous amounts to the state treasury. ”

According to Al-Luaibi, the most prominent obstacles and problems in the Iraqi oil bodies are the "call for restructuring is not correct, and the old administrative system that governs and adds burdens to prevent its development," stressing that "we must begin to build an efficient and courageous management of specialists and trained from the national cadre And to give them a role in decision-making, and launch a training campaign for oil cadres on modern technologies in the world and materials used equipment, tools and methods.

The Iraqi minister stressed the possibility of "promoting the potential of the sector with a trained and faithful administration that will maximize the resources of the state and multiply it in the outcome of spending and training it."

Gas Investment
The former Iraqi Oil Minister called for a qualitative leap in the oil sector through the "investment of gas associated with oil extraction," saying, "We lose more than 5 billion annually as a result of burning associated gas in oil fields, at a time costing the import of oil derivatives in the country of oil producer and exporter It has about $ 3-4 billion a year, which can be saved in many ways. ”

He added, "The transportation of crude oil budget costs more than one billion and a half billion dollars, at a time when the state has owned a fleet of tankers and provide all these amounts, which gives us an opportunity to develop this service again."

The scandals of the oil licensing round,
Luaibi demanded to reconsider the "licenses and benefits of the licensing round," stressing that "an important requirement to reduce the damage suffered by the country because of this wrong decision, as the state budget costs $ 15 billion, and can be reduced to 8 billion, by multiplying Corruption, which can be controlled within two years. ”

He continued, “The import of oil products exceeded $ 30 billion during the period from 2003 to 2018, while the import of this product during the year is estimated at $ 4 billion in the country of oil producer and exporter, stressing that“ there are forces to prevent it from being able to refine oil locally. ”

“If we can restructure the Ministry of Oil and vigorously support national competencies, we can develop free gas investment in the crutches, Rawa and all fields in the northwest,” he said. Between 15 and 20 billion dollars. ”

On the development of the oil refining sector, Al-Luaibi explains, “The refining capacity can be increased by 500 thousand barrels per day, to provide more than two and a half billion dollars, in an increase in state revenues by 500 thousand barrels per day. The sector is in the first phase, then dominated in the future to save $ 2 billion of what is now spent. ”

Al-Luaibi believes that the waste in reforming the electricity sector was “bad”. Billions of dollars annually in the requirement to produce electricity that can be replaced by gas burned in our fields wasted. ”

Regarding his vision of the deteriorating Iraqi economic situation, he says, “Expectations about the deficit in the next budget will be heavy due to waste and corruption penetration. We are pressing for the development of the sector by continuing to restructure the Ministry of Oil.

Mobile banking services

 

Friday 25 October 2019

 

Free Membership 
 
 
It appears that the CBI is proceeding with the implementation of the strategy of financial inclusion, establishing a banking reality capable of providing digital services based on modern technologies, and up to the level of the banking industry Globalism.

After talking about e-travel cards, the central bank directed all the licensed banks to introduce Mobile Banking over the next six months, under which the public will receive banking services through mobile phones.

Through the mobile phone can conduct transactions and transfer funds between customers' accounts by linking money transfer services between banks electronically, and give the customer access to the details of financial accounts with the possibility of requesting a statement of banking operations, as well as access to the details of services and loan statement Credit cards and payment, as well as contacting the customer service center on everything related to services.

The process is done by accessing an application for this service, using a user name and password for each customer that can be changed when necessary, by sending an e-mail or SMS alert when incorrect login attempts or any other operation, such as making transfers , Denial of access, change or reset the customer's password Etc.). 

It is certain that the banking sector is moving slowly towards digital services, which means that there is a new reality that imposes itself on the structural imbalances suffered by this sector over the years, which will make the restructuring of government banks a reality, not only at the level of technology introduction but At the level of departments and cadres, the entry of (Mobile Banking) is one of the most prominent outputs of the comprehensive banking system, which means the need to leave the manual work and the decline of paper trades, and therefore we will engage in new mechanisms and concepts such as the use of electronic signature mechanism and procedures Fair and the mechanism to identify the customer by using the password once (OTP), and could not be part of a state of change, the change will lead him out of the yard the work.

Tax adjustment and investor support contribute to reform


Friday 25 October 2019

 

alsabaah-20939.jpg


Baghdad / Mustafa al-Hashemi

 
While many economists are demanding to quote global experiences and apply the appropriate ones in Iraq, economist Dr. Essam Mahaweli pointed out that the closest international experience of the Iraqi economy is the experience of Brazil, which witnessed a recovery after a severe economic crisis weighed down by the budget of the International Monetary Fund.

Salaries for poor families
Al-Mahaweli told Al-Sabah that the country's president, Lula da Silva, had put an item in Brazil's general budget called "direct social subsidies", worth 0.5 percent of the country's gross national product, which is paid directly to poor families.
"This means replacing in-kind subsidies with cash support of $ 735, which was paid to 11 million families, including 64 million Brazilians, but how is Brazil bankrupt? The answer is that it raised taxes on everyone except those subsidized by the subsidy program and limited it to businessmen and wealthy The people. "
 
Investment facilities
"The businessmen agreed to this simply because it gave them great investment facilities, the mechanism to operate and operate their businesses," "granting them free land, facilitating licenses, giving small interest loans that helped them open new markets, and the income of the poor will rise," he added. "The process of buying business products" doubled their turnover so they didn't feel it "Levy".
He explained that "businessmen are paying taxes for these facilities," adding that "after three years, two million Brazilian immigrants and 1.5 million foreigners returned to invest and live in Brazil.
"Even the IMF borrowed $ 14 billion from Brazil during the global crisis in 2008," he said. Loans. "
 
The four things
"Brazil's economy has risen thanks to a focus on four things - industry, mining, agriculture and education," he said, adding that "Brazil is now making aircraft (the Brazilian-made fleet of Imperial aircraft)." The poorest of all, it is the state to dispense with many luxuries to support the poor. "
Al-Mahaweli stressed that "the recovery from underdevelopment is not impossible, but it is the implementation of the will and the application of good management standards that will overturn the economic system from a purely consumer to a product within a few years only if the management of the economic file properly was exploited the resources available in Iraq and develop the reality of industry Agriculture, attention to the poor and productive groups, and the quality of education. " He pointed out that Iraq has resources not owned by any country in the world, in addition to that the country has a good reputation in the global markets to pay its debts and dues, both external and internal.

The Associated Press: 23 people were killed during protests in Iraqi provinces on Friday

 


by vBulletin® by Ali EjamNews Iraq  Two Hours ago
 
 

Baghdad-AP

Twenty-three people were killed during protests in Iraqi provinces on Friday, the Associated Press quoted security sources as saying

Ten demonstrators were shot dead in the cities of Nasiriyah and Amara in southern Iraq, during an attempt to storm the headquarters of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, the most prominent factions of the Popular Mobilization Forces,according to AFP security and medical sources.


30233C5A-ADB7-4695-9BC1-E9EC10F3528F_w15

Two other demonstrators were killed during the burning of a party headquarters in Samawa, also in the south of the country.

During the day, eight demonstrators were killed in Baghdad, either as a result of security fire or tear gas.

Security forces repelled a barrage of tear gas on Friday by thousands of demonstrators gathered in central Baghdad

All security forces have been on alert since Thursday evening by the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi, who on Friday completed its first year in power

The representative of Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the highest Shiite cleric in Iraq, called in Friday sermons for "restraint" to avoid "chaos."

He added that the religious authority's assertion that the protests should be peaceful and free from violence stems from its keen interest in the future of this country

The cheering of the demonstrators was unified, "all thieves," calling for the overthrow of the government, in an oil-rich country but suffering from chronic shortages of electricity and drinking water

The dispersal came hours before the expected mobilization of supporters of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, who put all his weight in the balance of the protest movement

Sadr, who has been at the forefront of anti-corruption protests, has called on his supporters to demonstrate and has asked his armed Peace Brigades to prepare to "protect protesters", raising fears of further violence

Sadr had earlier called for the resignation of the government and early elections in the predominantly Shiite country

On Thursday night, Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi addressed the nation defending his achievements, accusing his predecessors of having handed him a state with a depleted economy and fragile security. He also criticized Sadr without naming him

Video .. Police use water cannons against protesters and close to bridges and a green gate
 
 
2019/10/25 


 

Security forces used water cannons to disperse protesters who broke barriers at dawn Friday and entered the Green Zone, which is being taken by the government and diplomatic missions in central Baghdad.

Security source said that hundreds of demonstrators were able to enter the Green Zone at dawn today. The demonstrators began to lift the barriers on the bridge of the Republic of Moody to the Green Zone, after advancing from Tahrir Square where they rallied hours ago demanding the dismissal of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, and dissolve parliament.

 

Protesters gathered in large numbers in Tahrir Square in the center of the capital, carrying the Iraqi flag, and slogans including "I want a homeland", "go" and national chants. The authorities closed the bridges of the Republic and Al-Sunk in central Baghdad because of the increasing number of demonstrators and closed the concrete blocks entrance to the Green Zone from the side of Harthiya.

It is noteworthy that the security forces closed all roads to the Tahrir Square in central Baghdad, coinciding with the gathering of citizens preparing to demonstrate to demand reforms and eliminate corruption, while Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi called calls to overthrow his government and early elections outside the scope of the Constitution and the law as "adventure and chaos".

The slogan, which has been the Sofa King's strapline since it began trading nine years ago, appears on the Northampton firm's shop front and vehicles.

But the cheeky advert sparked complaints to police in 2004 and drew further criticism when used in a regional newspaper due to its possible interpretation as a swear word.

Three readers of the Northampton Herald and Post claimed the catchphrase was 'offensive and unsuitable for general display' when it appeared in the paper on August 4.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) upheld their objections.

 

The ASA noted that the phrase ‘Sofa King Low’ used the advertiser’s company name but considered that it could be interpreted as a derivative of the swear word ‘f***’, which consumer research had found to be a word so likely to offend that it should not be used in ads at all, even when it was relevant to the name of a product,' the watchdog said.

'Because of that, we concluded that the slogan was likely to cause serious or widespread offence.'

The Sofa King, based in Northampton, defended its advert and said it has been using the strapline since it began trading nine years ago.

'They said complaints made to Northamptonshire Police in 2004 were not taken further by the Crown Prosecution Service and that no complaints had been made direct to them,' the watchdog said.

'They said the slogan simply used their company name to refer to pricing and that the words had not been changed or run together or punctuation used in a way that was intended to cause offence.

'They did not believe the slogan caused serious or widespread offence.'[/b]

Calls for international intervention to protect Iraqis from Iran's armed militia and its arms in government

Baghdad - Writings


Demonstrators in Iraq called on the international community to intervene urgently to protect the Iraqi people from the systematic killing and liquidation carried out by the Iranian militia in the country in cooperation with some security elements of the government of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi.

Demonstrators called on the international community to act to protect them from the militia and government killing machine that killed more than 31 Iraqis and injured hundreds during the uprising in which they declared their rejection of the current government and Iran's domination of Iraqi wealth during protests since the early hours of 25 October 2019.

The demonstrators shouted strongly against Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Karbala and tore up his pictures in the holy city of the Shiite component.

Iraq is now and this system is not a system

 

5dac0aed32c68.jpg

 

20th October, 2019

 

by Dr. Emad Abdul Latif Salem

 

No one in Iraq today, especially the younger generation, who did not know the details of the previous tyranny, wants to overthrow the current "regime". These oppressed youth (poor, deprived, obstructed horizons) want a "system" that serves their interests (the legitimate "interests" of ordinary "citizens"). The extravagant homeland cake, strangled by knives from all over the world, has nothing in their stomachs and those of their hungry families.

They only discovered (in a moment of noble anger) the meaning (and magnitude) of the lies that had been inflicted on them for nearly two decades of lost age and lost time. This "system" that exists now is simply not a system and the reasons are as follows:

• The current political “regime” in Iraq, now in power and wealth, is unable to offer anything positive to its citizens, except for the few “lucky” ones.

This ruling system cannot create jobs, because it is a system based entirely on oil revenues and neglects other "core" productive sectors, which are the main creators of income and jobs.

This "system" cannot promote the basic productive sectors, because it depends on the financing of the reasons for its survival on the "arms" import everything, and therefore does not allow, and will not allow, to produce anything. The sources of power and wealth here come mainly from the revenue from imports. A foreign "importer" kills the national "product", especially if the importation is unstable, and is not subject to sound economic account logic.

• This "system" finances its imports through the receipt of oil revenues, and then distributed a significant part of them to the "commercial arms" associated with it. These robust economic "arms" break all foreign trade "joints" and controls through their (direct and indirect) control of all of Iraq's "trade" outlets with the world.

The most that this regime can do for its citizens is an unfair and inefficient distribution of more than half of the oil revenues as "privileges" for a few "beneficiaries", as well as "disguised" unemployment benefits for a vast army of employees and retirees, and a distribution of Remains of the "crumbs" on those covered by the social "maintenance" system.

• This political "system" becomes (when threatened by its very existence) a "patriarchal" system, which relies on containing its opponents on the notorious method of gifts, gifts and "honors" and tries to circumvent its "complex" structural crises and escape From its current crisis (the biggest and most serious of its crises against its poor citizens), by adopting short-term "arrangements" based on more "distribution" of rent (by "distributing" the remaining state land in the margins of "forgotten cities for decades, and distributing" Subsidies "to the unemployed," "distribution" of job grades, and "distribution" of houses that have not yet been built ..), not through "Astra" Ejiat "and" plans "and policies, working to build a productive economy, and the creation of income-generating activities" permanent, "sustainable.

It declares its “intention” to implement these “arrangements”, without referring to the determinants and complexities of the “environment” in which it operates, how it funds all these proposed “solutions”, without verifying the timeframe to accomplish this, and without paying attention to The disastrous consequences of such "long-term" arrangements.

• This “political” system is not based on a “economic” system with a specific purpose, nor is it based on clearly defined policies and strategies that work to achieve higher “sovereign” objectives, agreed upon by key elements of the political system, all of which should have been It takes place within the framework of the "systems" of the modern state and its effective institutions, not through the "systems" and "values" of the pre-state, which have been overtaken by other countries for centuries.

 The existing “economic system” is a system of “deals”, which are carried out in the manner of pre-modern bazaars, shorjas and shops. What creates jobs, and sustains income, is the modern economic system, not the notorious "entrepreneurs", multilateral "servant" deals and "notorious" auctions.

 This political system cannot build and manage this modern “economic system”, and it is not in its interest in the end to do so.

• Corruption is the main driver of the mechanisms of the current political system and is an essential part of its general structure. If corruption is eliminated by breaking up its infrastructure, the entire system will collapse. So, obviously, this system doesn't allow it.

• This political system does not believe in democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. He uses democratic "means" to seize power. When this "democracy" threatens the deep and deep foundations of this power, it will immediately become a bloody-authoritarian-theocratic regime.

• This system is not "young". This system is aging every day by a thousand years.

Therefore, this “regime” does not trust young people, is afraid of them, doubts their motives, challenges the sincerity of their search for better opportunities to live in dignity in their homeland, and “kills them” through the syndrome of frustration, despair, ignorance, ignorance and lack of horizon. He cuts off the means of creativity, leadership and leadership.

 This “system” will not allow “young experts” (and we have dozens of different disciplines, some of whom have received the highest academic degrees, and received the highest academic titles) to play their part in the policy-making process in this country .. and therefore will not be allowed to work effectively In the process of its construction, development and revival.

• This “system” is based on “quotas” and allows the creation and reproduction of “ministers” who came from nowhere and turned the ministries (which need the best scientific and professional expertise and skills) into sectarian, ethnic, family and regional “feudalities” controlled by “office managers”. ", So that the government shifted from the government of" ministers", to the government of" office managers."

This "system" expels the "good currency" from the market .. And gives "bad currency" all the reasons for the power to go to the market, and cramming all the beautiful minds in a narrow corner, from the corners of this great "cave" of Iraq.

The “protesters” demands for the disastrous performance of this system for sixteen years are not “demands” of a “one dimension” for a “one spectrum” population. They are “multidimensional” rights that shape the future destiny of the entire people. The existing political system is able to contain it easily, and use it to reproduce the "faces", "arrangements" and "systems" themselves and to "recycle" them again.

• This “system” cannot provide a solution to any problem, however minor. This is a crisis system. Its crisis lies in its severe imbalance and its structural social stress, due to the very conditions of its formation.

• This “system” is a big and serious “problem”. Can this “problem” itself be the source of the solution? This is what you will answer for the coming days.
