[buck] What is Turki regretting??? thx

    [millionday] here we go  >>>  Economists said the sources in the International Monetary Fund that Iraq, despite the security situation troubled the index, however, economic growth is still going to rise through its oil exports. saw Mohiuddin cloves, investment manager for the Global Sukuk, the Middle East and North Africa,

said of the unintended consequences of the conflict the Iraqi political is a decline in the cost of borrowing the Iraqi government has increased foreign exchange reserves increased by 33 percent to 88 billion dollars in the fourth quarter of 2012 after the superiority of Iraq against Iran in the production as the second largest oil producer in OPEC.

    [millionday] A spokesman for the Ministry of Planning Abdul-Zahra al-Hindawi told a news briefing that the annual inflation index from April 2013 to April 2014 rose slightly by 1.5 percent due to higher prices of some materials, especially food and housing together, and 1 percent on the level of Iraq, noting that Index Department of Food and housing is still significantly affect the high and low inflation.

    millionday] so what that shows is economic stability and the skills of the economists to use the tools available to them for the benefit of the country and its citizens --- great news  --  smile  ok brb with more

    [millionday] this is fun to bring good news -- and it seems like its all the time but i could give it up if they would get busy – lol  brb -- smile

    [millionday] here we go  so this is huge in any country

    [millionday] Maliki decide to exempt the Mahdi Gharrawi, his deputy and the commander of the Third Infantry Division and a number of military leaders from office and refer them to the military court

[millionday] i have to say -- not a good time

    [Smokey Mtn. Dinar] Maliki will be next! IMO

    [millionday] i am sure that with all the other things going on legally that need resolved with some other leaders and serving -- the story will be long   brb with more

    [graylnjo] Is this a stalling tactic by M?

    [millionday] As the top U.S. diplomat, Kerry has played a central role in what may be the Obama administration’s biggest foreign policy gamble: negotiations with Iran over its suspect nuclear program.

Those talks resume this week, with time running short to reach a deal that would lift crippling economic sanctions in return for steps designed to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.

The interview comes as Kerry launches a two-day “Our Ocean” conference at the State Department. "It is a vital national security issue for the United States, what is happening to our oceans," Kerry said.

"This is vital to food security, it's vital to stability, it's vital to security, it's vital to livelihoods for people. It's also the lifeline for life itself on Earth." The conference rests on three pillars: sustainable fishing, battling marine pollution, and reducing ocean acidification. "This is a very, very important conference," Kerry said.

    [millionday] note -- now see if you recognize the next statements

    [millionday] And it ties in with Kerry’s frequent, outspoken warnings about the potentially catastrophic impact of climate change. “You might not see climate change as an immediate threat to your job, your community or your families. But let me tell you, it is,” Kerry warned at Boston College’s commencement on May 19.

 “If we do nothing, and it turns out that the critics and the naysayers and the members of the Flat Earth Society ... if it turns out that they’re wrong, then we are risking nothing less than the future of the entire planet,” Kerry said.

Kerry’s push on oceans, and climate change generally, will test the Obama administration’s ability to set the agenda at a time when headline-grabbing crises — Iraq, Ukraine, Nigeria — dominate the discussion of world affairs.

    [blossom] Im sorry & Robinredhead pls edit this out but what a bunch of crock!!!

    [tourman] more rhetoric to place more regulations against the American people...

 [millionday] the reason i brought that is that major news was saying that the leader of the free world was also discussing the oceans clean energy act ect ---- and commented in the midst of all of this war? and fighting ? -- i have to say the same --

    [mudder] lol lol

    [kba] distraction distraction distraction.

    [graylnjo] Kerry was for it before he was against it !! :}

    [millionday] what about the situation room and the meeting of many minds -- it sure does not seem to be as bad as what the world is saying if you look at actions

    [millionday] i hope everyone saw this but here it is

    [millionday] A spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq on Monday that the provincial government believes that the share of total sales of Iraqi oil should be up to 25 percent, according to Reuters news agency Mazkrth.

She said that the Government of the Territory, "the Baghdad provincial budget cuts to pay for the sale of oil independently away from the control of the central government in Baghdad."

 [millionday] The spokesman said Sven Dzia, a former minister of foreign affairs and education in the Kurdistan Regional Government said that "supposed to be the region currently receives 17 percent of Iraq's oil revenues,

 however, this ratio should rise based on increasing population and rising oil production." "The number should be much higher .. and when the official census conducted of the population believe that the figure could reach 25 percent on average." "The rate was just seventeen percent estimate was used, but so far we do not get it in the current year we get about 10.5 percent only of the total budget of Iraq.

    [millionday] so what we have is the kurds are wanting 25% (wont happen) and maliki fired four of his military leaders for not doing their job he says -- cbi is stating that all funds they have are safe and they can release the value of their currency and go forward with a high rate and not even have a ceiling ---

the parliament members have been certified and they are to sit in their chairs on July 1st --- and they have been stated in the news again to be the number 2 oil producer ---

    [millionday] there is a lot going on with security within the country and the precious loss of lives

millionday] how ever --- the citizens can see or anyone can see --- that the country is set for their reforms and the first half of the fiscal year is over July 1st

    [millionday] other than that --- i have to pack and will see everyone tomorrow night

Gov’t Seizes Control of All Your Financial Accounts


Written by Damon Geller
Everyone knows that the United States has gone bankrupt.  As the U.S. government and the Fed poured trillions of dollars of YOUR money into the banks and markets after the 2008 economic collapse, this unprecedented level of money-printing is catapulting the U.S. debt to $28 trillion by 2018.  But now, the U.S. government and the Fed are completely out of ammo.  They desperately need money to maintain their own power, and taxes are no longer enough.  So in order to keep the Ponzi scheme going, the U.S. government has made several highly controversial moves to be in position to seize control of all your financial accounts.   And it’s becoming clearer by the day, if you want to protect your savings and wealth from government confiscation, you only have ONE choice.

The Bankrupt State
What happens when America goes bankrupt?  The $17 Trillion question?  Let’s be clear, America is already bankrupt.  “Bankrupt” is defined as “any insolvent debtor” – a debtor whose liabilities exceeds its assets.  The U.S. government, by its own admission, is a bankrupt entity.  Not bankrupt “soon,” bankrupt NOW.  To the tune of just OVER $17 trillion.  In an attempt to fabricate the illusion of “growth,” the Fed and their bank-owned politicians poured trillions of dollars of YOUR money into big banks and the markets in order to prop up stocks, bonds and real estate after the 2008 economic collapse.  The idea was to “fix” the economy by pouring 1,000 gallons of high-octane debt-gas on an already raging debt-fueled bond fire.
Of course, REAL growth never materialized.  Instead, all that these criminals managed to accomplish with their money-printing was to blow up new bubbles, widen the income divide, and dramatically increase the wealth of a select few at the expense of the rest of us.  The tragic result:  the USA’s liabilities now exceed its assets by an amount so astronomical it’s almost incomprehensible.  And by its own admission, that hole will be getting deeper each year until we reach $28 trillion in debt by 2018.  Or until the Ponzi scheme blows up.
What Now?
The questions now are, what happens now that America is already bankrupt?  How do broke governments survive as long as they can?  What are they capable of doing when they know their fate is at hand?  How do the Ponzi masters keep the Ponzi scheme going?
The answer to all these questions may shock you:  The U.S. government has made several highly controversial moves to be in position to seize control of all your financial accounts!  They’re using legislation and authoritarian power in collusion with the modern financial system to gain access to your private assets in the name of “protection”, “security” or “national emergency.” But in reality, your savings & wealth have become a prime target for confiscation.
How can they do this?  Well, the “beauty” of the modern financial system – to a banker or an insolvent government – is the ease at which they can access your wealth with the stroke of a computer or a new law or tax.  When you combine the digital banking & financial system with the overreaching legislative power of an insolvent government, we citizens don’t stand a chance.  Unlike English soldiers breaking into the homes of colonists, today’s government can be far more subversive.  Just take a look at these government regulations & initiatives that are right now in the process of taking effect:
FATCA:  As everyone has heard by now, the July 1st FATCA provision requires foreign financial institutions such as banks, stock brokers, hedge funds, pension funds, insurance companies, and trusts to report all U.S. citizens’ accounts directly to the IRS.  The government can’t put its paws on your money if it doesn’t know where it is.  The more information a government has on the movement, location & size of global citizen wealth, the more efficiently and effectively it can create legislation & systems to control that wealth.  FATCA even requires reporting to the IRS by foreign private companies on any income made by a citizen of the U.S. whether they live here or not.  And FATCA, once implemented, will negatively impact the U.S. dollar, the global economy, and our international relationships.
MyRA:  In the State Of The Union Address – and coincidentally just as soon as the Fed started tapering their endless QE treasury-buying experiments – Obama announced the creation of the MyRA – your retirement money will now be used to pay for U.S. debt. The MyRA is nothing more than an investment scam being sold to the American people as a you-can’t-lose, zero-risk investment by the pitchman-in-chief himself.  The reality is, since the Fed can’t conjure up money from thin air to buy the debt anymore, and our foreign friends don’t want our debt anymore, Obama needs to sell it to John Q. Public.  Since the federal government has done so well at everything from delivering mail to affordable healthcare, what could possibly go wrong with jumping into the investment advisory business?  Where do I sign up?
CARDS:  The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which oversees how investments are sold, proposed what it calls CARDS – Comprehensive Automated Risk Data System – which is an electronic system that will regularly collect data on balances and transactions in all 4100 brokerage accounts nationwide. CARDS is disguised as a way to “protect” investors, but the system is clearly designed to have detailed information on the structure & location of every citizens’ investments.  Since the government needs us to support its debt (because outside interests no longer do), wouldn’t it be convenient to know and control the structure or every investment portfolio in America?
So for the first time ever, The U.S. government is directing you where to invest your savings & retirement and has gained full access to the activity in every single citizen’s bank accounts, retirement accounts, brokerage accounts and trading accounts.  The IRS will also have full visibility on any oversees accounts, income, equity or other earnings, effectively giving them access to all the wealth of every American citizen no matter where they reside on earth.  So now that we know what they’re doing and why they’re doing it, the question for you is:  what are you doing to safeguard your savings & wealth?
There’s Only One Place to Hide
With our desperate government gaining unprecedented access to your financial accounts everywhere in the world, you need to take action NOW to protect your savings & retirement from possible capital controls.  But if the government has its hands in your bank accounts, retirement accounts and brokerage accounts, is any place safe?
Absolutely. There’s ONE asset class this sits outside the financial system and is completely secure from government confiscation and global economic collapse:  Gold & Silver.  Gold & Silver have been the best wealth protectors for over 5,000 years and have survived every government & currency collapse in history.  Today, physical gold & silver are selling in record numbers around the world.  Central banks around the world and nations like China are stockpiling gold as a hedge to any possible collapse of all the dollars they hold.

The government has spent way beyond its limits.  And now you know that the government is seizing control of your financial accounts.  So the time is now.  Protect your savings & retirement with physical gold & silver before you have nothing left to protect.

How Three Fateful Actions Helped Lead to the Failure of Today's Mainstream Medicine
Posted By: LuellaMay [Send E-Mail]
Date: Wednesday, 18-Jun-2014 11:43:38

(The Best Years in Life) Three fateful actions dating back over 100 years ago ultimately led to today's mainstream model of medicine: Treating the body as a collection of parts instead of treating and nurturing the whole body; treating illness by managing symptoms with unnatural drug compounds; and ignoring and suppressing safer and more effective natural health and healing. As a result, millions of lives have been lost and many millions more have suffered needlessly.

[Papajack] Well there is much going on behind the scenes so if I get anything I'm allowed to share I'll make a flyby, but if I'm hearing right Okie should be in the pattern soon. Blessings all.

more....

[Papajack] Good Morning if I get bumped off it is because the storms are so bad here it's like night time.

[Papajack] The continual delays are because the good guys want to make sure the bad guys can't regroup.

[Papajack] Only real believers like you folks on here can imagine how evil these bad guys really are.

[Papajack] Just be encouraged things are getting done behind the scenes, we have already won.

[Papajack] I wish I could share all the good stuff going on but I promised to keep my mouth shut but I am encouraged we will see our blessings very, very soon. Lots of smoke out ........


[Papajack] One last thing, beware of these private deals going on many of them are scams, don't accept any of them unless they pay you in cash. And here is the key to your blessing, it is tied to the new asset backed system being implemented, I doubt anybody will be able to exchange into the old system and I'm told nobody will be able to double dip. All of this is JMHO so ya all be careful now, ya hear!!! Blessings

Confirmed, ongoing arrests are being made globally by Interpol. The London Gold Exchange final draft of documents is flying to Shanghai right now
Confirmed Jack Lew is pleading with Saudi Arabia over keeping the petro dollar oil contracts. The Republicans and Democrats list of failures in Iraq by delaying, cost them billions and they have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

The MSN reporting on Iraq is the media spinning the misinformation from DC, mind controlling and brainwashing the masses in the news..  Just like George Bush did with weapons of mass destruction in the Iraq war.

American "Governance" .. USA vs US
http://usavsus.info
American Governance
Both systems concurrently exist today. However, the corporate system has been gaining predominance in the last 70 years. Many Sovereigns (We the people) have contracted with the corporate system unknowingly, unintentionally, and or without full disclosure given.
Once you learn the difference, you may have to make a decision for yourself, family, and posterity. That decision may require changes in how you conduct yourself. You will have to undo what has been done to make your Sovereign status known. This is not taught in the corporate government's public school system, because you are not to know.
The elite of the "One World government" corporate system want
and need to have power and control over the population (masses)
they call "Human Resources."
I recommend reading the "reader comments" on the youtube page as well …..

A Group of Pleiadians Removed Thousands of Cabal from the Planet June 15th

 

A Group of Pleiadians Removed Thousands of Cabal from the Planet June 15th [audio]

Thank you, Jane, for sending this. I still haven’t had a chance to listen to much more than an hour, but WOW!
Julien Wells always shares the most incredible insights about what is happening behind the scenes on the Galactic Front and this discussion is no exception.
If you’re not familiar with Julien, he has an incredible conduit to the Pleiadians who regularly share information with him and he never knows when the telepathic transmissions are going to come through.
He says a group of Pleiadians that is desperate to make a difference in the planetary situation went outside the box and devised a way to free nearly 11,000 underlings of the cabal who have been screaming to get out of their predicament and contracts with their masters—despite the fact that other groups of Pleiadians, Andromedans, Arcturians, Orions, Sirians, etc. disagreed with their plan.
Those removed from the planet are the highly compartmentalized cabal who are afraid for their lives at the hands of Humanity when we learn what they’ve done. They are not near the top and just do what they’ve been trained to do—but that does affect us and their removal will benefit many of us.
You’ll have to listen for yourselves, but this makes it crystal clear that…
1.  There are many, many independent groups of galactics on their own missions to free us and that is why no ONE spokesperson at our disposal knows everything that is happening or will happen, or why.
2.  Our star families are under no such edict to keep their noses out of our business and refrain from “interfering”. They’re interfering BIG TIME! and I’m so grateful. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I think it was a brilliant plan.
Thank you Julien and everyone involved with bringing us this fascinating information. There is another interview they recommend listening to first, but I had to jump on this one when I had connectivity. I’ll catch up later.  Click the link below to listen and get the details.  ~ BP

I really needed this. Thanks to those who shared it. The cabal hates it when we laugh at them, and sometimes if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.
There will be plenty of time for anger when the world is acquainted with the truth of this monstrous tale. 
“The Queen Is Named As Part Of An International Paedophile Ring by Bill Maloney.”  Clever video. 
If you read some of the comments beneath the video, you’ll see that not everyone knows the truth. Yet.  They don’t WANT to believe it, of course, but in short order they’ll have no choice.  
Hopefully they’ll do some research and land on the ITCCS web site.
BTW, you may have heard that Facebook is playing games with Kevin Annett and Alfred Webre and the postings. All sorts of blocking, etc. going on. 
And that’s a clue right there to the authenticity of the claims. If it was all lies and disinfo, they would have no issues sharing their latest updates.  It’ll all get sorted.  ~ BP

US general links Chalabi to Iran



 

US general links Chalabi to Iran



Ahmed Chalabi, the former Iraqi exile whom the Bush administration once hoped would replace Saddam Hussein under its “regime change” policy, has been openly branded an Iranian collaborator by the top commander of US forces in Iraq.
General Ray Odierno told an audience at the Institute for the Study of War in Washington that Chalabi and another Iraqi politician, Ali Faisal al-Lami, are “clearly influenced by Iran… We have direct intelligence that tells us that.”
Odierno’s comments the latest episode in a decades-long struggle by Chalabi, widely seen to have misled the Bush administration over Saddam Hussein’s WMD capacity, to gain power in his homeland.
Chalabi and Lami had had “several meetings in Iran with a man named [Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis] Muhandis… who was on the terrorist watch list for a bombing in Kuwait in the 1980s – they are tied to him,” Odierno said., adding that Muhandis was right-hand-man to General Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Army’s Quds force. The US claims Quds, which reports directly to the Ayatollah Khamenei, sponsors Islamic militant groups around the world.
Lami, a Shiite who is close to the hitherto secular Chalabi, headed an Iraqi panel that tried to bar around 500 mostly Sunni candidates, many of them members of Saddam’s banned Baathist Party, from running in the general election scheduled for March 7, which is to be the second since the invasion of Iraq. Following pressure from the United States, the list was reduced to 145 candidates, though leading Sunni member of parliament Saleh al-Mutlak is still excluded.
The US fears an outbreak of fresh violence between Sunnis and Muslims in the wake of Lami’s perceived move to marginalise Sunnis. Chalabi, who was deputy prime minister of Iraq between May 2005 and May 2006, claims he had no role in barring the Sunni candidates. Nevertheless on Sunday he directly accused US Vice President Joe Biden of interfering in the election by pressuring the electoral appeals committee into reversing its decision to ban all 500 candidates.
Odierno said “no one denies that… you have the right to work through de Baathification, [to] disqualify anyone who’s involved in the Baath Party, or leans towards the Baath Party… [but] what actually was the authority of this commission.  What’s the authority of those running it, and why they were able to do this, and was it according to the law…”
He said the candidate vetting process had not been transparent. “Unfortunately, it happened right before the election, which was clearly planned very carefully by certain individuals — Ahmed Chalabi and others who I would argue are getting support by other nations, who in fact are trying to push very specific agendas inside of Iraq.”
Lami vehemently denies he has any link with Iran or any hidden agenda. Supporters of Chalabi say he was in fact encouraged by the US to set up an office in Tehran in an attempt to improve relations between the US and Iran. Before the invasion – and before President George Bush’s “Axis of Evil” speech helped bring Iranian hardliners to power – Chalabi was close to the reformist President Mohammad Khatami. “There are geopolitical reasons to be friendly with Iran,” he told the New Yorker in 2004.
“Iran has the longest border with Iraq. Also, Iran is a much stronger state than Iraq, with three times the population. So strategically it’s not a good idea to be on bad terms. My good relations were not a secret from the US.”
Indeed, Chalabi was close to US hawks Paul Wolfowitz, the former deputy secretary of defence, and Richard Perle, former chairman of the US Defence Policy Board, both architects of the Bush administration’s “regime change” strategy. In 2004, US officials accused Chalabi of revealing to Iran’s top spy in Baghdad that the US was reading Iranian spy traffic. Perle, in Chalabi’s defence, told the New York Times at the time that he believed the CIA had turned against Chalabi because he had refused to be the agency’s “puppet”. Chalabi, said Perle, had “a mind of his own”.
However, Chalabi’s reliability had worried the CIA even before the invasion of Iraq. Though President George W Bush was informed of the CIA’s view of Chalabi at the start of his first term, Bush chose to follow the advice of Vice-President Dick Cheney and the neo-conservatives. Chalabi’s Iraqi National Congress (INC) organisation provided the hawks at the Pentagon with the WMD “evidence” they wanted. Though the CIA believed much of the information passed to the Pentagon by the defectors was false, the then US Secretary of State Colin Powell’s address to the UN Security Council on February 5, 2003, was based largely on this “evidence”. As Robert Baer, a former top Middle East operative put it, “Chalabi was scamming the US because the US wanted to be scammed.”
Wolfowitz acknowledged in an interview with Vanity Fair that the WMD evidence was not the best argument for the invasion of Iraq, but “we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on, which was weapons of mass destruction”.
Chalabi appears to believe that he is being pilloried for having influenced US policy.  “There is a smear campaign that says I am responsible for the liberation of Iraq,” he once said, “but how bad is that?”
On Tuesday, General Odierno had this response: “Chalabi, you know, has been involved in Iraqi politics in many different ways over the last seven years, mostly bad.”

Dear Mr. Deputy Prime Minister:
We write to you as members of the 60 to 70 percent of Americans who believe that this war has been (in the words of the polling companies) a "mistake," or (in our own words) a criminal fraud. We resent the role you played in instigating it. We believe you owe an apology.
You owe an apology not to Judith Miller, whose career is ruined but who consciously chose to disgrace herself by working with you. Rather, you owe an apology to the families of the over 100,000 people who have died in this war, including over 2,000 U.S. soldiers.
Your misinformation campaign has been exposed:
