Tishwash: See you a million ... The demonstrators are preparing to raise the pace of their protests by February 25
Iraqi demonstrators are preparing to raise the pace of their protests by leaving with a "millionaire" on February 25th, activists on social media called on them, while others talked about their intention to go from their southern provinces to Baghdad.
Activists launched on Twitter, and tagged #Relcom_million, in order to call for the planned demonstration, to reach the list of hashtags most commonly traded on the site.
With their tweets, which came under this tag, the tweeters attached photos and video clips documenting events that occurred after the first of last October, the day the demonstrations began so far, some of the demonstrators killed during their participation in the protests, among more than 500 dead and about 25 thousand wounded.
And February 25 coincides with the anniversary of the start of the 2011 demonstrations in Baghdad, affected by the wave of the "Arab Spring" in Arab countries, most notably Egypt and Tunisia, and toppled the presidents of the two countries, Hosni Mubarak and Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
At the time, Nouri al-Maliki was in charge of his second government, and the demonstrators had demands, most notably the amendment of the Iraqi constitution and the end of sectarian quotas in the sharing of positions between political parties, and the protesters were subjected to violence inside Tahrir Square, and some were stabbed with knives.
School students, universities, and institutes are keen to renew the spirit of demonstrations, through mass marches towards the sit-in areas, in addition to feminist marches that roam the streets of some governorates heading to the same squares and denounce the abuse of women demonstrators by parties and religious groups.
The call to organize a million, with the aim of lifting the pace of protests on February 25, comes at a time when the official in charge of forming the government, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, "rejected in the demonstration squares," faces Kurdish and Sunni political protests over his mechanism in choosing his cabinet, with a pledge not to give his government confidence in Parliament. , Which is scheduled to be brought to the vote before March 2.
While Allawi describes his cabinet, the members of which are kept by himself until now, as a "historic achievement" and says that they are completely independent and free from the dictates of political parties, the head of the caretaker government, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, recently vowed that he will not continue his work after 2 March, and that he will resort to "the solutions stipulated in the constitution and the internal system of the Council of Ministers." link

Vital Brad ...Allawi is kicking butt...out of the 300 parliament members 220 deputies will vote to pass the Allawi government. Which is a really good sign. Another headline "Allawi's government enjoys great parliamentary and international support." Sounds like it's done - having his government in place...Monday the 24th are gonna have a vote for the government...when we have a government in place I think things are gonna start getting really exciting. So big things to come. Lots to look forward too...
MarkZ & Mike Cottrell MarkZ: HSBC and a number of banks even local and Regional are now on the RTP…Real Time Protectionsystem where even international stuff will only take seconds now instead of weeks before you have funds. Mike Cottrell: That technically is the QFS. Coordinating with CIPS and Swift with real time confirmations and deliveries of funds. This is required when we go to the new currency system. MarkZ: To me this is one of the best signs that we are well underway.
Footforward Article: "IBBC Spring Conference 2020 ‘Iraq – Open for Business’ " Says right at the top of the article they are open for business. If they aren't international that's a false and misleading statement Open for business?! This tells me Iraq MUST be having an RV! You can't be open for business if you aren't international and you can't be international without an RV! I can't fathom they put this out there and then the RV drags on for two more years.

Feb 22, 2020
In this episode of Keiser Report from Mexico City, Max and Stacy discuss a report arguing that cutting violent crime in Mexico could boost GDP growth.
They wonder if this would work in the U.S. and Europe by cutting financial crimes and weaponized derivatives.
They also note a recent Gallup poll puts Trump’s approval ratings on the economy at a hard to beat 60%.
In the second half, Max interviews John Ackerman, a professor and journalist, about the new government in Mexico and what they can do to help the economy and foster innovation.
