Francis Albert Media uses the word conspiracy theorist to anyone who disagrees with the conventional wisdom they are selling.

Xyz Francis Albert but you can claim that " Covid19 was most likely a bio weapon"?

TWWIII xyz I AGREE IT IS

Francis Albert I started in broadcasting in 1968, and I've never ever experienced a more controlled dysfunctional media

Francis Albert xyz...well, I've talked with some folks, who are deep into how these "viruses" come into being and massive evidence it is. the HIV thing was/is a controlled event. Check out a thing called Tuskegee syphilis experiment.

Francis Albert Nothing is 100%. So, we go through life and find people, develop relationships over years and as that as a backdrop "believe" their take on things. And continue to trust them until they prove untrustworthy. Does that make sense?

Zig Yes

Kaperoni UN Chapter 7 has nothing to do with monetary policy. If it did, the IMF would not be encouraging the CBI to accept IMF Article VIII to send a message to investors that Iraq is open for business.

Kaperoni "25. The government will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and a multiple currency practice (MCP) with a view to eliminating exchange rate distortions. Such a move towards acceptance of the obligations under Article VIII of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement will send a positive signal to the investor community that Iraq is committed to maintain an exchange system that is free of MCPs and restrictions for current international transactions and thus facilitate creation of a favorable business climate

futuremoney Tony says its happening tomorrow … SO THERE !!!

Zig futuremoney : Great!!

Xyz Israeli Researchers Announce Breakthrough in Coronavirus Treatment

A group of researchers in northern Israel said Thursday they had achieved a “scientific breakthrough” in treating coronavirus. At a press conference, researchers of the Migal Galilee Research Institute said that the breakthrough had come while they were doing research on coronavirus in birds. A treatment had been discovered which cured the birds infected with coronavirus, and clinical trials at Israel’s Volcani Agricultural Research Institute had confirmed the treatment’s viability.

The basic coronavirus in birds is very similar in patterns of infection and effect of the virus in humans, and the genetic structure of the virus in both humans and birds is very similar, the researchers said. As a result, the treatment developed for birds could be applicable to humans – and they believed that an effective treatment could be developed for humans within three months, they said.

xyz 3-4-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "Urgent: The President of the Republic approves Allawi's resignation..." Where does Iraq go from here? Will the UN step in and take over? Probably not...I don’t think Iraq is at this point yet. They are still within their democratic government.

Can the UN legally put in place a provisional government to run Iraq in the meantime. No, they cannot do this. How much longer can this go on before Iraqi economy really tanks? If they do not get the budget approved they can not go ahead with any of the projects they had planned for 2020.

This new year is quickly slipping by. The economy too is stagnating and inflation could set in. Will us investors have to wait yet another year to 2021 to see the RV?

This may very well be the case. It appears they just paid the Kurds their salaries. This is not in our favor and shows they already are using the 1/12 rule of the budget...

Patty xyz Did you get a chance to read Whitelions post at 12:32? How can Iraq afford to do that?
