Samson:  Oil prices fall on expectations of weak demand and supply concerns
21st October, 2019

Oil prices fell on Monday amid continuing concerns about the global economic outlook and the impact on oil demand, while Russia again failed to meet the target of oil production last month

Brent crude futures were down 10 cents, or 0.2 percent, at $ 59.32 a barrel by 0108 GMT

US crude futures fell 9 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $ 53.69

China's economic growth slowed to 6 percent year-on-year in the third quarter, the weakest growth in 27-1 / 2 years and below expectations due to lower factory output and continuing trade tensions

However, the achievement of refinery production in China increased 9.4 percent year-on-year in September indicates that demand for oil from the world's largest oil importer remains strong

On oil supplies, Russia said it produced more oil in September than stipulated in a global deal because of an increase in gas condensate production as the country prepares for the winter

OPEC, Russia and other oil producers in the so-called OPEC + alliance agreed in December to cut production by 1.2 million barrels per day from the beginning of this year

But several countries, including Saudi Arabia, have complained that Russia has not fully complied with the deal. Talks between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to resume oil production from jointly managed fields in the divided region have raised fears of oversupply

Kuwaiti Deputy Foreign Minister Khalid al-Jarallah said on Saturday the talks were very positive after Kuwait's Al-Qabas and Al-Rai newspapers reported earlier, citing unnamed sources, that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia had agreed to resume oil production from the divided region   LINK

Don961:  How did you get this?

Sunday 20 October 2019

Free Membership

Senior officials with special grades (deputies, ministers, and presidencies) annually submit a statement of their financial receivables to the INT.

Drop the imposition of first order.

They are of different positions and recitations and backgrounds and the failure of some state-owned system from the system of issuing statements in which they give us good news discharge from rampant corruption.

Integrity, for its part, is also grateful for a detailed statement of those who have submitted their financial disclosure. When the statement counts, even Gobaiden, Kofi Annan and Sergey Lavrov offer to disclose our financial discretion to ensure privacy, clean advertising and silence until the end of the year to the coming year and new data and drop more assumptions.

Therefore, according to all these statements, including the promise of a great good for the country and the people, we never need to legislate the law "Where do you get this?".

Why do we enact this law and most of the gentlemen who entered the political attic after 2003 complain that their money that they inherited from their parents and grandparents has decreased?

We do not need to legislate such a law because it is the citizen who pays a bribe to the employee in order to go along with his treatment and is often caught in an ambush by the Integrity Committees and a well-known offender who encourages a public servant to bribe.

The citizen according to this description and description is a partner of the employee in the guide pieces deployed in all departments of the State and the content of "God curse and bribery." Since the invitation is incomplete, I suggest adding “molasses” until the complaint is complete.

I am sorry for your “dough” with the title “How did you get this”? To answer this question, I say that all that is recovered annually from stolen funds by the oversight bodies does not exceed a few million dollars? They are "blessed" as long as the money looted in this way or that returned to the treasury. 

But what about the billions that officials talk about before citizens. Where are they and how did they spend?

This is a question that requires an accurate answer.

In order to be able to accurately answer this question, what should be enacted is the law “How do you do this” and not “Where do you get this?”. 

Why? Because oil is our main resource, which makes up more than 95% of the budget. We know the source of the money and as a result we do not need to ask any employee to what degree inflated his money during the years of his job, where do you get this because we know the source of the money of the Iraqi people derived from oil sales in general. 

So the question to ask and which is supposed to be legislated by the parliament is .. How do you get this? That is, how I managed to collect this wealth, not where it was collected. The question of "how" not "manna" is the one that reduces all questions and answers and we no longer need to scramble annually to disclose financial discharge in the absence of .. Real censor 

It is a conscience.     link
