Samson: Death toll rises in Iran
9th November, 2019
The number of deaths and injuries caused by the devastating earthquake in Azerbaijan province in Iran has risen.
According to information received, six people were killed and 530 others injured.
There have been 153 earthquakes recorded over the past 24 hours.
A relatively strong earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale struck early Friday on the outskirts of the town of Turk, which is part of the city of Meyana in the northeastern province of Azerbaijan. LINK
ChrisC: doesn't it seem strange to see the huge range of stories as to what is happening? One says Iran is coming to kill everyone and another says things are going back to normal. I would think one is wrong IMO.
Iggy: someone once told me..."There will be confusion at the end"...(smile)
ChrisC: hopefully the situation is beginning to return to normal,thats what Cbi need to see,fake news are disturbing sometimes,but with the US help i think the mass in iraq would be cleared very soon.not much time left if iraq doesnt want to see a esclating riot againdt their own goverment,remove the iranian and stop the killing.

Samson: US newspaper: Iraq may become the focus of Chinese aspirations in the Middle East
16:11 - 09/11/2019
China sees Iraq as a key element in the success of its global development strategy known as the "One Belt One Road Initiative" in the Middle East, a report said Saturday. But Beijing's economic expansion in the region could force Baghdad to seek a new balance in its relations with China and the United States.
"Beijing's presence in the Middle East has been growing over the past decade, making it more quickly a trading partner for many countries in the region and its growing economic strength will attract the attention of other players in the region," the report said. Region, like the United States.”
“China's goals in the Middle East revolve around energy, infrastructure, trade and investment, and with owning Iraq world's fifth largest oil reserves and a geopolitical strategic location, China considers Iraq the key missing piece in its plans to control trade throughout Europe and Asia, as well as Being a bridge between its shipping lanes in countries such as Israel, Turkey and the Gulf states.”
"China is Iraq's largest trading partner, with trade between the two countries reaching nearly $ 30 billion last year. Likewise, Iraq is China's second largest supplier of crude oil and China's fourth largest trading partner in the Middle East.
The report pointed out that “China's acquisition of Iraq in a single road project and one belt is a big step towards its goal of gaining economic dominance in the Middle East has seen every region in the world has seen a significant decline in Chinese investment and construction projects except the Middle East and North Africa. LINK
Doodlebug: This is why I think China is on the phone with Iran saying, "Knock it off! We stand to make a lot of money in Iraq and you idiots are messing it all up. Now, go back home, sit down and sh'up(!) and we can talk laaaterrrrrrr. Just let Trump's Art. Of. The. Deal., work! Okay pun'kin?!?" All IMO.

Frank26 ....seven times I think Allaq has come out in the last twenty-three days to talk to the citizens about the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar and about lifting the zeros from their exchange rate, about the smaller notes…
Jeff Don’t forget I have strongly suggested to you that Donald Trump is definitely in charge of all this…It’s the US government that actually poured trillions of dollars into the country of Iraq and the US is the one that shed blood for Iraq. So really the U.S. is in charge not so much the IMF and World Bank. They may have a little say but not on timing. IMO the timing of this is all dictated and directed by the Trump Administration and I will promise you that he’s gonna use the timing of the rate change to benefit his political gain…seven to eight months before the US November elections…it’s all unfolding right before your eyes.

Economic Collapse News - Are They Hiding The Truth, What If We Used The Real Economic Data?
Nov 9, 2019
Today we focus on the constant stream of positive economic reporting on cable economic news programs. The main talking points appear to be the Unemployment rate, GDP and the Stock Market. In fact these seem to be the only data points they focus on.
These data points are all highly altered to present a rosier picture of the US Economy. I wanted to break down a couple errors in some of these viewpoints.
They don't want us to focus on relevant points The truth is they don't want us to understand how the economy works or it could disrupt the American consumer lifestyle.
