chattels: I read where many of the gurus are calling again for the deletion of the zeroes project in the near(er) term. Please recall the following article from November 23, 2015, about five weeks ago, " Parliamentary Economy: delete the zeros need a safe environment ............ "
 
chattels: " delete the zeros need a safe environment "
chattels: " delete the zeros need a safe environment "
chattels: " delete the zeros need a safe environment "

chattels: " the Iraqi Central Bank completed the previously all preparations for the project, indicating that it " has been postponed because of the situation security is stable "in what it said that" the application of the project to delete the zeros needs to assign by the government and parliament to make it a success after the stabilization of the situation in the country because the ground current is suitable for the implementation of such a project. "
 
chattels: " the subject of deletion of zeros is linked to the security situation closely because it will include all operating in the country banks to receive the old currency and replaced by the new and the old collection and destruction of pointing out the difficulty of the success of that process in the provinces experiencing control Daash parts of them. "
 
chattels: " pointing out the difficulty of the success of that process in the provinces experiencing control Daash parts of them. "
 
chattels: " ............ the provinces experiencing control Daash parts of them. "
chattels: WHAT HAS CHANGED REGARDING DAESH SINCE NOVEMBER 23, 2015 ?
chattels: NOT A LOT, IMO.
chattels: ABADI SAID RECENTLY FROM CHINA THAT 20 % OF IRAQ IS NOT SAFE.
 
chattels: ABADI SAID RECENTLY FROM CHINA THAT 20 % OF IRAQ IS NOT SAFE.
 
chattels: Again, I recognize that my narrative is not a popular one. If it " rv's " in the next three days I will acknowledge the superior insight of all others and shut up forever because I will be very wealthy and out of here. :)
 
Doug_W: won't we ALL "C" ?
chattels: The problem in Syria and much of the Middle East, ........... , is more about liberal tolerance of others, power-sharing and good governance. For a way out of such problems, Syrians can look to two Kurdish examples: the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq (KRG) and the “democratic autonomous cantons” of the Syrian Kurds.
 
chattels: " ............. “democratic autonomous cantons” approach, ..............."
 
 chattels: Applied across Syria, this model would see the Assad regime keep territory it presently controls. Various rebel groups who accept the model (which would preclude the likes of the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra) would likewise keep their current territory and self-defense forces, at least until some later time if and when they decide to unite with others.
 
The different cantons would compete in terms of the quality of governance they provide their people, all the while remaining officially part of one united Syria. This kind of solution is not without precedent, as such arrangements put a stop to the grinding civil war in Bosnia via the Dayton Accords.
 
Most importantly, such a solution addresses the structural problem of mutually distrustful communities rather than the shibboleth of “Assad is the problem.”
 
chattels: David Romano has been a Rudaw columnist since 2010. He is the Thomas G. Strong Professor of Middle East Politics at Missouri State University and author of The Kurdish Nationalist Movement (2006, Cambridge University Press) and co-editor (with Mehmet Gurses) of Conflict, Democratization and the Kurds in the Middle East (2014, Palgrave Macmillan).

chattels: " It’s not about Assad and it never was " By DAVID ROMANO
 
chattels: " remember where the Kurdistan Region of Iraq was politically between 1994 and 1998, when civil war between the KDP and PUK threatened the fragile experiment in Kurdish self-rule.
 
Lack of trust between the parties and disputes over power-sharing and revenues almost destroyed the people’s future in that part of Kurdistan. The Washington Peace Accord of 1998 calmed things down by allowing for the creation of two Kurdistan Regional Governments – one run by the KDP in Erbil and the other by the PUK in Suleimaniya.
 
Instead of shooting at each other, the two administrations learned to live with the other and competed in terms of which could provide the best model of governance to its people.
 
After a few years of such co-existence, the administrations in Erbil and Suleimaniya were able to voluntarily decide to reunite into one Kurdistan Regional Government "
 
chattels: How many people know that the Kurds fought a civil war in the ' 90's and then had two governments for several years ?
 
chattels: " Lack of trust between the parties and disputes over power-sharing and revenues ............. ", sounds like current day Baghdad / Iraq, eh ?
 
chattels: Sectarian conflict or identity politics ?
 
chattels: Identity politics are political arguments that focus upon the interest and perspectives of groups with which people identify. Identity politics includes the ways in which people's politics may be shaped by aspects of their identity through loosely correlated social organizations.
 
Examples include social organizations based on race, class, religion, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, ideology, nation, sexual orientation, culture, information preference, history, musical or literary preference, medical conditions, professions or hobbies.
 
chattels: Identity politics is open to wide debate and critique. Minority influence is a central component of identity politics. Minority influence is a form of social influence whereby a majority is influenced by the beliefs or behavior of a minority.
 
chattels: Iraq is full of various kinds of minorities.
chattels: The Shia government itself is a minority. The Kurds are a minority. The list goes on.
chattels: " ...... is more about liberal tolerance of others, power-sharing and good governance. "
 
chattels: External forces, other nations in the MIddle East, and DAESH play upon minority issues and are creating havoc in Iraq with agendas contrary to the Iraqi interest.
 
zidziljian: :ninja:
 
chattels: My original point is that sectarian conflicts, competing politics based upon religious identification, is an oversimplified and exaggerated aspect of the turmoil in Iraq.
 
chattels: How the battle against the Islamic State is redrawing the map of the Middle East
 
 chattels: AMIRIYAT FALLUJAH, Iraq — Along the vast, zigzagging perimeter of the Islamic State’s self-styled state, the militants are steadily being pushed back as the forces­ ranged against them gain in strength. In the process, new borders are being drawn, new fiefdoms are being carved out and the seeds of potential new conflicts are being sown.
 
 A war seen by the United States as primarily aimed at preventing future terrorist attacks in America is being prosecuted for very different reasons by the diverse assortment of Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni fighters battling in both Iraq and Syria, often in pursuit of competing agendas that work to subvert the goal of defeating the militants.
 
chattels: " .............. the diverse assortment of Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni fighters battling in both Iraq and Syria, often in pursuit of competing agendas that work to subvert the goal of defeating the militants."
 
chattels: The Islamic State may or may not be vanquished soon — and a string of defeats inflicted in recent months in northeastern Syria, northern Iraq and most recently Ramadi have raised hopes that its demise may be closer than had been thought. ‘
But already it is becoming clear that victory over the militants won’t end the bloodshed in the region, said Fawaz Gerges, a professor of international relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
 
 “There is little thought being given to the morning after, and the morning after is going to be as bloody, as chaotic and as destabilizing as the situation we are seeing now,” he said. “The heart of the Middle East has changed. The fragile state system is no longer there.”
 
chattels: " ..........the morning after is going to be as bloody, as chaotic and as destabilizing as the situation we are seeing now,”.....
 
chattels: Point : The ouster of DAESH does not equate to stability and safety in Iraq, IMO.  

chattels: 2015 In Review: The Year Iraqis Lost Hope That Things Would Ever Get Better Mustafa Habib In 2015, every Iraqi – almost without exception – paid a price for events in their country. Some Iraqis lost their jobs, others lost loved ones. But the biggest loss of all in 2015 cannot be measured. 31.12.2015 | Baghdad Politics http://ift.tt/1VAFbXD...

I WOULD ASK YOU TO PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE IN OUR 2016 ENGLISH BUDGET THREAD - HERE IS JUST ONE PARAGRAPH FROM MR. AL- KHATTEEB - HE IS ONE SMART, AND WELL RESPECTED GENTLEMAN
 
OOTW: The only way forward to resolve these disagreements between Baghdad and Erbil is to pass the Federal Revenue Sharing Law and the Federal Hydrocarbon Law, as well as establishing the relevant federal institutions underpinned by these laws to regulate the practice in Federal Iraq across all provinces and regions.
 
With a failure to do so, current and future political deals will continue to be short-lived and fail drastically, prolonging the ongoing institutional and constitutional vacuum that has existed since 2006.

chattels: " .............. added 16 items to the draft budget sent by the Cabinet to the parliament."
 
chattels: Technically, all legislation must originate with the COM ( or the President if memory serves ) under the Iraqi Constitution and decision(s) of the Judiciary, so my understanding is that the addition of " items " to the budget as proposed / approved for submission to Parliament by the COM is problematic.
 
chattels: Additions by Parliament that is.
 
chattels: " .............. suggested the Presidency approval of the budget next week. "
 
chattels: If the date of passage on the budget is indeed the 17th ( Some reports have it as the 16th ) and if President Masum received the budget the same day then 15 days from that date would be January 1st / 2nd.
 
chattels: Legislation is deemed ratified by default of any Presidential action 15 days after receipt by the President is what the Constitution of Iraq provides I think.

chattels: Iraq is always GOING to do this, that or the other, tomorrow, in the coming time, next year, etc., ad nauseum, but TOMORROW NEVER COMES.
 
chattels: As we often observe here about the news, it is the difference between RHETORIC and REALITY.

chattels: sczin11 was talking about the foregoing in his earlier post today I think.
chattels: The " same 'ole same 'ole " undermines any sense of optimism much less ebullience, eh ?

Rrrr:  Post RV, For all the doubters who laughed at us, Counselling will be available through my “Who’s Crazy Now” Foundation. I will set up offices around the country. Sessions will be focused around a comfortable couch…. A grossly enlarged picture of their emails, stating things like ”Are You Crazy”, “Have You Lost your Mind”, and “How much money have you thrown away on this Scam?” I will offer tons of smiles….and complete silence… then give them a 1st class ticket tooo … Any ideas?

ApexDinar:   Another year, another opportunity

As it was in 2008...2009...2010...2011...2012...2013...2014...2015...this remains a speculative investment w no guarantees.  No amount of bank stories, random off-the-grid exchanges, open-and-closed windows, insistence from gurus that it's, 'a done deal,' or crossed fingers will change that.

Hope for the best, and don't feel you have to wait for wealth to Pay It Forward.  It costs nothing to be a good person, and dedicating your time to those in need doesn't require an RV.  Can't control if or when the RV will happen - but the two things we control in life are our attitudes and our effort. 

Make 2016 a great one.

WhiteHatsAuxiliaries Fact Check #129

​Fact Check #129  by Whitehatsauxiliaries
A Restatement Of Purpose For 2016
Hello and Happy New Year!
 
The following are my words alone.
 
After some thought, I decided to close our last thread for the year, and will stay on this one until December 31, 2016, or there is some news of great importance to announce. I thank you all for your blog contributions, your support of the White Hats and your hard work and dedication to set good examples as citizens of your respective nations.
 
I had not intended to write this, but after some recent observations on this blog and other places, I thought it best to offer a recapitulation as to why WHA exists and also offer some opinions.
 
The mission statement is simple.
 
To Unite In Support of The White Hats and Accurately Inform About The Mission to Release The World Global Settlements/Global Currency Reset
 ~~~

The key points are to "unite in support", and "accurately inform". The former is simply done by gathering here at the blog. The latter is accomplished by simply bringing forward any information about the relevant activities germane to our mission statement, from DIRECT contact with involved parties, and not broker-dreamers, NESARA high priestesses, or dinar pitchmen who use cleverly worded pablum that taps into the emotions of people who are easily lead to believe that "Donations Macht Frie".
 
You have often heard us convey that "what can be told to us, will be, at the right time". This arrangement remains in place and we have some good people to thank for this.
 
For their hard work, they ask nothing but being the best person you can be, and to plan for anything so that you can assist others in what may come. In the meantime, take comfort that we won't have to guess if any news that comes from our contact is legitimate or not.
 
For all of 2015, many bloggers and self appointed "intel providers" and NESARA salesmen continued their shtick to the predictable and inevitable false conclusions that they specialize in. This is no surprise.
 
 It creates, among many, a complacency that falsely conveys that personal effort is not needed to increase ones personal fortunes.
 
Sadly, many have been lulled into this dangerous frame of mind to their detriment, and the bulk of the "intel call" audiences are languishing in total peonage from the induced lethargy created by injections of such unsubstantiated predictions. Many have remained stultified for literally decades by this. Jim Jones had nothing on these actors.
 
Nothing comes without a price. As stated in the movie, Magnificent Obsession, "...but I warn you, the investment of one's life in others, and the alignment of one's self to the forces that lead up and on....this does not come cheap!"
 
This is very true for many reasons.  With this in mind, I wish to briefly share an opinion on something that I feel is important to consider so that you can attain an effective footing in a world that is arranged to trap and ensnare those who do not think things through to the possible outcome if certain paths are taken.
 
You may disagree. That's fine. But I beg you to consider the forces that are waiting for the naive and those who rashly court disaster, or insist that you do as a matter of "honor".
 
The Internet is awash with many ideas that outline a clandestine system of management of people as economic chattel via a "strawman". These systems are ostensibly used by powerful people who "own you".
 
You are then farmed as an asset over your lifetime and your "account" is the commodity they trade to maintain their position. Enormous time, effort and resources are diverted into spreading this information, and further, some bring these ideas framed as legal arguments to get out of traffic tickets, taxes, criminal charges, asset seizures and the like. Most, if not all who do, fail, and pay a heavy price in terms of civil seizure, criminal charges and prison time.
 
Remember, in any tactical position you have to consider your opponent and know him better than you know yourself. If you fail to do so, you risk defeat. If you charge across a field, you better have the benefit of knowing what you are charging into.
 
To bring down upon you and your family, something so onerous and formidable as a judicial system, with endless funding behind it, is potentially a life altering event that you may come to regret. I know of many who tried and paid heavy prices. And in the end, they did not accomplish anything but personal ruin.
 
The moral of the story is simple. Let the big dogs, like the White Hats, do the heavy lifting and take the risks of their tasks. They are equipped for such. They have performed reconnaissance and know the ground. They are in their respective positions for a good reason.
 
If change is to come that is akin to being free of your "strawman", it will not come from mass public organizing. History shows us that changes of this nature are rarely accomplished in such ways.
 
Our job is to stay strong as individuals and communities so we can take whatever benefits we are lucky enough to have, post GCR, to advance into new horizons that leave the present systems, including any monetary slave management by banking cartels, behind.
 
You cannot be effective in this if you are languishing in jail or fighting off tax cruds or legal problems, no matter what kind of "article court" you are in.
 
It's fine to understand about these things and know they exist, but don't then walk into a hornet's nest while trying to fight a battle on your own. By all means, stand up for your rights in all things. But, don't saddle yourself with impediments that prevent you from being free to maneuver once anticipated changes are upon us. You are of no value to anyone in that position. Not to yourself, your family, your fellow man, or anyone that you could be helping otherwise. Consider the practical nature of anything you undertake as a personal way of conducting your affairs, and don't buy a bill of goods that has no beneficial use.
 
If such systems of control do exist, and are crimes against us, then let the big dogs perform the duty of disclosing it at the right time, via mass communication of an appropriate nature, with the consent of those who are duty bound and empowered to act on it. That, by in large, is not you or I as individuals, or bloggers who wish to argue how right they are, while accomplishing nothing.
 
The situation we find ourselves in as a culture, and the incredibly incompetent way we manage our planet's resources, will not be remedied by placing yourself at odds with a leviathan. It will be solved by moving forward and away from the very systems that have now grown obsolete and no longer relevant vis-à-vis the technology we now possess. That's simply a fact that future generations will come to find as more and more jobs are lost to technology. 

The gateway to the future is being worked on by good people who are trying very hard to wrest control from the very few who have had too much power for too long. Once done, if successful, then resources will be placed into the hands of those who are intelligent and gifted at engineering the way forward for all of us, based on new paths that the development of new technologies will allow.
 
We cannot turn our backs on this. To do so is to willfully agree that we are incapable of forward progress, yet it is demonstrated all too often that the opposite is the case.
 
Be active, be productive, be prepared. But please, don't work so hard at becoming a target. By trying to fight against the idea of being an "economic slave", you will in turn become one by attracting the force of legal action against you. What you resist, you become.
 
So, again, if you wish to spend time reading about such, by all means, do so if you feel your time is of a premium for such things. But, I suggest you be very, very careful in applying it to open warfare with a formidable system that is well-funded, well entrenched and means to hold their ground at all cost.
 
Many thanks again to our WH contact, his staff, and their colleagues the world over. Without them, the path would be dark.
 
We saw some major changes in international financial power in 2015. From the AIIB to the inclusion of the Yuan in the SDR basket, it was one for the books. Also, it was established that a lot of what is now going on cannot be discussed in broad detail by our fine contacts. We can assume this is for good reasons and underscores the magnitude of their work.
 
Let's see what 2016 brings. Be ready for anything.
 
With sincere appreciation and thanks to all of you,
 
WHA
