Why The Biggest “Threat To Democracy” Is The US National Debt

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)   January 12 2026

On September 1, 1575, a royal courier from King Philip II of Spain arrived to the banking house of Niccolò de Grimaldi in Genoa.  The Grimaldi bank had loaned Philip quite a sum of money, and the Italian bankers already knew that the king’s finances were on shaky ground.

2026-01-11 Shafaq News– Baghdad   Iraq’s rapidly expanding digital content sector operates largely without regulation, allowing significant online revenues to move outside state oversight and increasing financial risk, a member of the Dijlah Center for Strategic Planning warned.

Speaking to Shafaq News on Sunday, Ali Karim Idhayib noted that the spread of social media, especially live streaming and paid content, has created parallel cash flows beyond existing controls, cautioning that the absence of clear rules on income disclosure, taxation, and supervision leaves the sector vulnerable to misuse, including tax evasion and the movement of funds with unclear origins under media or entertainment labels.
