Clare: With the exception of legal matters, Parliament postpones the allocation of committee members until after the formation of the government.

Zainab Al-Khazraji, a member of the Reconstruction and Development bloc, confirmed that the House of Representatives will vote in the session scheduled for today, Sunday, on the members of the Parliamentary Legal Committee only, even though the agenda includes distributing representatives to committees without naming them.
Al-Khazraji, speaking to Shafaq News Agency, attributed this trend to the delay by the heads of political blocs in submitting the names of their candidates from among the deputies to fill membership in the parliamentary committees.
Al-Khazraji said that the number of parliamentary committees is 25, and the membership of the remaining committees will be decided successively after the political blocs have submitted the names of the candidates.
According to the MP from the bloc, the appointment of the heads of the parliamentary committees will be postponed until after the formation of the next government, noting that the upcoming sessions will witness the appointment of the parliamentary committees in succession.
Al-Khazraji concluded that the process of completing the formation of parliamentary committees may continue for up to a month, until all committees are fully decided. LINK

Jeff It's a very difficult investment to study right now because there's a lot of unknown information. There's things they're not telling us...They're stalling the formation of the government.
Frank26 IMO American soldiers will deliver the lower notes to the banks that have qualified and are working with the United States Treasury and Donald Trump on your monetary reform...Trump is demanding security and stability for this new exchange rate that we are introducing to [Iraq] because the CBI is too stubborn to introduce it...IMO
Militia Man They're not soft balling it anymore. Highly credible data is out, consistent with the evidence. Alaq's...performance since 2022 has been stellar. Gatekeepers have noticed and endorsed it quietly. The BIS nod via the Bank of International Standards Alignment is real...Iraq is being prepared for deeper global financial engagement....If you tie everything together, you're going to see that, wow, this is big. The Arab League AMF gives regional backing and stability. All part of the quiet long game plan. The "quiet" to me has delivered results...Our study has proven time and time again that the gatekeepers are pleased. The next phase is closer than most realize.

$7 TRILLION WIPED OUT in Gold & Silver - What REALLY Triggered the Crash
Lena Petrova: 2-9-2026
Gold and silver just suffered one of the most violent selloffs in modern history. In a single day, gold plunged nearly 9% and silver collapsed more than 35%, wiping out trillions in market value.
This wasn’t a normal correction — it was a liquidity event driven by crowded trades, leverage, and forced liquidation after a political shock at the Federal Reserve.
In this video, I break down what really caused the crash, why gold and silver failed as “safe havens,” and what this means for the future of the gold bull market. Is this a buying opportunity or a warning sign? Watch before making your next move.
