UNEEK   Venezuela’s New Digital Bolivar Isn’t Digital, and It Won’t Solve the Country’s Economic Crisis

The Venezuelan government launched a digital bolivar last Friday, and it is already generating uncertainty and nervousness, several locals told CoinDesk.

The new bolivar appears to be yet another attempt by the government to combat hyperinflation.

UNEEK   The digital bolivar represents the third removal of zeros from the Venezuelan currency since 2008, when then-President Hugo Chavez removed three zeros from the original bolivar and created the strong bolivar (English translation of “bolivar fuerte”).

In 2018, beset by hyperinflation, Nicolás Maduro, the current president, removed five zeros from the bolivar fuerte and created the sovereign bolivar, which was removed from circulation last week.

According to Lopez, the removal of six zeros seeks to solve a daily problem for companies, public entities and payment systems that face great difficulties in operating with so many digits. Until last week, a kilo of meat alone cost about 33 million bolivars.

UNEEK  With the latest attempt to remove zeros, however, the new digital bolivar is introducing other problems. “There is some nervousness about the future of the exchange rate. People are getting rid of the local currency and are desperately looking for dollars to protect their purchasing power,” said Alejandro Castro, a Venezuelan economist and operations manager at consulting firm Econométrica.

In order to adapt to the new currency, the Venezuelan financial system was halted from Sept. 30 until Oct. 4. During that period, the unofficial quotation of the sovereign bolivar was devalued from 4 million per U.S dollar to 5.6 million, because the official market didn’t operate, Ernesto said.

Wednesday 06 October 2021 The President of the Republic, Barham Salih, stressed that the climate crisis poses an existential threat to our future.

Saleh said in a tweet on Twitter: We appreciate the esteemed parliament's vote on the project to revive Mesopotamia submitted by the Presidency of the Republic as a framework for developing the environmental strategy and facing the threat of climate change in the country.

He explained that the climate crisis has become an existential threat to our future, and it is necessary to start now, and there is no room for inaction.

” He added, "Our population is likely to double from 40 million today to 80 million by 2050. Desertification affects 39% of Iraq's area, and 54 % of our lands are at risk of agricultural loss due to salinization and water scarcity in the Tigris and Euphrates - the lifeblood of our country - which led to the encroachment of the salt tongue towards the upper Shatt al-Arab.

butterfly  He stressed that Iraq is ranked fifth among the most fragile countries globally in terms of water and food shortages and extreme temperatures, and it is expected that our water deficit will reach 10.8 billion cubic meters by 2035 at a time when our financial income from oil is declining as the world abandons oil, and its dependence is more on clean energy.

He pointed out that the recovery of Mesopotamia is a project for Iraq and all of our region, which shares the serious threat of climate change, and the project relies on 9 strategic programs that include afforestation, modernization of the Tigris and Euphrates water management, clean energy generation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and encouraging investment through green climate funds.

He pointed out that realizing the scale of the transnational environmental disaster that surrounds us all, and moving towards interconnected and integrated regional environmental plans, will be a great step in facing the effects of climate change, and pushes the whole region towards joint economic and environmental solidarity, and abandoning the cycle of crises and tensions in which everyone loses. https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=931141

Tuesday 05 October 2021 21:40 The Central Intelligence Agency has warned its officers working abroad that alarming numbers of informants who have been recruited to spy for the United States are being arrested or killed.

The agency said in a report that the agency's Counterintelligence Center had looked at dozens of cases in recent years involving foreign informants who were killed, arrested, or likely infiltrated, the New York Times reported Tuesday.

"In recent years, hostile intelligence services in countries such as Russia, China, Iran and Pakistan have been hunting down CIA sources and in some cases turning them into double agents," the report added.

He continued, "The large number of hacked informants in recent years has shown the increasing ingenuity of other countries in employing innovations such as biometric scanning, facial recognition, artificial intelligence and hacking tools, to track the movements of CIA officers in order to discover their sources."

2021-10-05 02:11   Nechirvan Barzani - Opponents of the application of Article 140 of the Constitution are against the will of 80 percent of IraqisShafaq News/ The President of Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani considered on Tuesday that those opposed to the application of Article 140 of the Constitution are against the will of 80 percent of Iraqis who voted for the country’s permanent constitution in 2005.

Barzani, the deputy head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, said at an electoral festival for the people of Kirkuk in Erbil, “Oh, Kirkuk people, your lands are subject to Arabization, and being Kurdish and Kirkuk is very difficult.”

He addressed the people of Kirkuk by saying: We are all with you, and we are of mind, thought and feelings. We are all Kirkuk, adding that Kirkuk’s wealth should be used to provide job opportunities, and to reconstruct Kirkuk, not to be a subject of greed, and to change the demography of the province.

He added that our war was on the national identity of Kirkuk and its historical geography, as well as the rest of the areas cut off from the Kurdistan region, and we were never against any component, indicating that our demands were not for Kirkuk’s oil, but rather our demands on the identity of Kirkuk.

The head of the region said: We do not want to wage a national war against the people of Kirkuk at all. On the contrary to all the previous regimes that followed the rule of Iraq, we want to provide services and establish stability, security, and achieve true coexistence among the components that live in this province, stressing that ” We do not want, through the fighting, to resolve the fate of Kirkuk, but through Article 140 of the constitution, and this is a legitimate and natural right because the Iraqi people, in 2005, voted on this article.”

butterfly   Barzani renewed his demand for the application of this constitutional article, saying: Those who oppose its application are against peace, against the constitution, against Iraq’s stability, and against coexistence, adding that “those opposed to its application are against the free will of 80 percent of the Iraqi people who voted for the constitution.”

Kirkuk is one of the disputed areas between Erbil and Baghdad covered by Article 140 of the Constitution, and was under joint authority between the Kurdistan Region and the Federal Government before the independence referendum that the region held in September of 2017.

Article 140 provides for the removal of demographic policies conducted by Saddam Hussein’s regime in the disputed areas in favor of the Arabs at the expense of the Kurds, and then census the population before the last step, which is to hold a referendum according to which the population determines whether they wish to join the Kurdistan Region or remain under the administration of Baghdad.

It was scheduled to complete the implementation stages of the article until the end of 2007, but security and political problems prevented that.

The Federal Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that Article (140) of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq should remain in force, stressing that this will continue until its requirements are implemented and the objective of its legislation is achieved.   shafaq.com

UNEEK   If a rich man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it. – Socrates

No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has. -- H W Beecher

The use we make of our fortune determines as to its sufficiency. A little is enough if used wisely, and too much if expended foolishly. – Boovee

Worldly riches are like nuts; many clothes are torn in getting them, many a tooth broken in cracking them, but never a belly filled with eating them. – Venning

Riches do not delight us so much with their possession, as torment us with their loss. -- Gregory

UNEEK  As riches and favor forsake a man we discover him to be a fool, but nobody could find it out in his prosperity. -- Bruy'ere

Worldly wealth is the devil's bait; and those whose minds feed upon riches, recede in general from real happiness, in proportion as their stores increase; as the moon, when she is fullest of light, is farthest from the sun. -- Burton

Wealth is like a viper, which is harmless if a man knows how to take hold of it; but if he does not, it will twine round his hand and bite him. -- St Clement

Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use. -- Johnson

UNEEK There is no society, however free and democratic, where wealth will not create an aristocracy. -- Bulwer

Riches are gotten with pain, kept with care, and lost with grief. The cares of riches lie heavier upon a good man that the inconvenience of an honest poverty. -- L'Estrange

The wealth of a state consists not in great treasures, solid walls, fair palaces, weapons and armor; but its best and noblest wealth, and its truest safety, is in having learned, wise, honorable, and well - educated citizens.

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants. -- Epicurus

Wealth hath never given happiness, but often hastened misery; enough hath never cause misery, but often quickened happiness. – Tupper

Facebook’s stocks continued to drop on Monday afternoon after the social media platform and its sister ventures Instagram and WhatsApp crashed earlier in the day without an official explanation and no end in sight.

Several domain registration portals even had Facebook.com available for sale not long after the apps went down, leading to speculation among tech and cybersecurity experts that something very shady may be going on inside Facebook’s headquarters. Now we are learning that billions of user accounts were hacked and that their information was sold on the black market by data scrapers.

According to a Privacy Affairs report, “the private and personal information of over 1.5 billion Facebook users is being sold on a popular hacking-related forum, potentially enabling cybercriminals and unscrupulous advertisers to target Internet users globally” in the “biggest and most significant Facebook data dump to date.”

UNEEK   Quotes From The Book: Seat of The Soul By Gary Zukav – very deep and thought provoking – may require reading several times before the understanding and gems of enlightenment are realized

Knowledge is power -- and for each level of knowledge -- you are held responsible for how you use it

When we align our thoughts, emotions, and actions with the highest part of ourselves, we are filled with enthusiasm, purpose and meaning. Life is rich and full -We have no thoughts of bitterness -- we have no memory of fear -- We are joyously and intimately engaged with our world - This is the experience of authentic power

Your intentions create the reality that you experience -- Until you become aware of this - it happens unconsciously - therefore -- be mindful of what you project -- this is the first step toward authentic power

The journey to authentic power requires that you become conscious of all that you feel

When seen through authentically empowered eyes - a being with a higher rank in creation is one that has more ability to see without obstruction, more ability to live in love and wisdom - and more ability and desire to help others evolve into the same love and Light

UNEEK   When you consciously invoke growing you consciously invoke the parts of yourself that are not whole to come into the foreground of your life -- With each recurrence of anger - jealousy - or fear -- you are given the choice to challenge it - or to give into it -- Each time you challenge it - it loses power and you gain power

As you choose to empower yourself - the temptation that you challenge will surface again and again -- Each time that you challenge it you gain power and it loses power

With each choice that you make to align yourself with the energy of your soul - you empower yourself - Authentic power is built up step by step - choice by choice -- It cannot be meditated or prayed into being -- It must be earned

By remaining in your power you do not become a static energy system - one that hoards energy to itself -- You become a stable energy system - capable of conscious acts of focus and intention -- You become a magnet for those who are illuminated and those who want to be

You cannot and will not encounter a circumstance or a single moment that does not serve directly and immediately the need of your soul to heal - to come to wholeness

When the personality , Jesus encountered the Luciferic principle , the challenging dynamic of the human experience -- when he was offered dominion over the entire globe -- was he tempted??? Yes he was tempted !! If he were not - there would have been no power in his choice -- Authentic empowerment is not gained by making choices that do not stretch you

UNEEK   Sooner or later, each soul will turn toward authentic power - Every situation serves this goal and every soul will reach it

When you understand that the experiences of your life are necessary to the balancing of the energy of your soul - you are free to not react to them personally -- to not create more negative karma for your soul

Although what you encounter and what you do in each moment is appropriate and perfect to the evolution of your soul -- the shape of the experiences of your life is determined nonetheless by the choices that you make -- It is you that chooses to linger in resentment - or enveloped in grief - or to release these lower frequency currents of energy

Butterfly   UNEEK YW.....I did not want to fill the room with all the fears and security that involves the upcoming election.

UNEEK    Quotes From the book: Seat of The Soul - Gary Zukav:

UNEEK   You create your reality with your intentions

An intention is a quality of consciousness that you bring to an action

At each moment you choose the intentions that will shape your experiences and those things upon which you will focus your attention -- If you choose unconsciously, you evolve unconsciously -- If you choose consciously, you evolve consciously

Every action, thought, and feeling is motivated by an intention -- and that intention is a cause that exists as one with an effect -- If we participate in the cause - it is not possible for us not to participate in the effect -- In this most profound way - we are held responsible for our every action , thought, and feeling, which is to say, for our every intention

From the perception of the five sensory human, intentions have no effects, the effects of actions are physical, and not all actions affect us or others -- From the perception of the multi sensory human -- the intention behind an action determines its effects, every intention affects both us and others -- and the effects of intentions extend far beyond the physical world

Feel your intentions in your heart -- Feel not what your mind tells you, but what your heart tells you

UNEEK   Intuition is perception beyond the physical senses that is meant to assist you -- It is that sensory system which operates without data from the five senses

What is behind our eyes holds more power that what is in front of them

The decisions that you make and the actions that you take upon the Earth are the means by which you evolve

An angry personality will respond to the difficulties of it life with anger, and thereby bring into being the necessity of experiencing the results of anger --

A person who is angry, and yet reveres life, however -- will respond very differently to the difficulties of his or her life than a person who is angry and has no reverence for Life

UNEEK   :Working: :Reading: :Ella: :Nice day:

Zig   I'm an angry Dinar holder :Angry: who refuses to evolve :Moon: LOL

UNEEK   Zig ha ha well but you still hang around just in case ?? As we all are doing - lol

Doug_W   me too but I HAVE gotten off that every day roller coaster

Zig   UNEEK :   :Yes: I am definitely hanging around

butterfly  I don't have a clue who this person is but he makes sense, not like the other so-called gurus out there.............. 10-3-2021 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Once the IQD is cleared Internationally it will be fully Article 8 compliant with the IMF and International Standards. That will require a Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER). The Bonds for reconstruction to enhance the Private Sector to support Iraq away from just oil revenues will require it too. Imo. There is data that supports yesterday that the Bonds will trade on the ISX. It is my understanding that the ISX was closed yesterday and won’t open until Monday, next. Regardless, there is an effort to trade bonds in the very short term that will require international exposure and standards to apply.

Therefore, the 2022 budget plan should be It has orientations other than those of the 2021 budget and its consumption images, meaning that its payments are productive and work to increase incomes for the poor, and indirectly, for the most part.”

Qusay said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA / that "the rise in Iraqi oil prices above $ 69 dollars on average during the year 2021 will support the occurrence of financial savings that can be directed towards repaying external and internal debts and supporting the state-building process."

He added, “With the continued increase in global demand for oil after the gradual demise of the impact of Corona and the continuation of support for extensive financing operations globally by global central banks, the fair equilibrium price of a barrel of oil is between 70-80 dollars, and the more prices rise above 80 dollars, the more they support the increase in production quantities.” from OPEC and its partners.

He added, "At the local level, the rise in Iraqi oil prices above $69, on average, during the year 2021, will support the occurrence of financial savings that can be directed towards repaying external and internal debts and supporting the state-building process through expanding spending within the requirements of economic reform, according to what was stated in the white paper."

The economic expert stressed that "the current government and the next government should allow the recycle of the surplus and unspent funds during 2021 in favor of the same units that the money reached late, and treat government accounting procedures as secretariats related to the year 2021 in order not to lose from those parties."

UNEEK   Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.

http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/a/aristotle132211.html

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Excellence, then, is a state concerned with choice, lying in a mean, relative to us, this being determined by reason and in the way in which the man of practical wisdom would determine it.

Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.

Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.

UNEEK   Bring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.

Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.

Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.

Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered.

He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.

In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.

Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals that they may be superior. Such is the state of mind which creates revolutions.

Dave   Iraq is preparing to formulate agreements with 3 countries to recover the looted funds

Dave   180-350 billion usd https://aynaliraqnews.com/index.php?aa=news&id22=152261

Dave  wow that be.....almost 500 trillion IQD........

Dave   NORV think that would aid in bolstering CBI's reserves or cover some that dinar you mention that is in circulation?

NORV  Dave No country can afford a significant RV to $1 with 80 trillion dinar in circulation. That is just to much money. The US is not even that high at $28 trillion.

NORV   And remember Iraq claims they are only worth 16 trillion including all oil and minerals in the ground.

NORV   Any money Iraq recovers more than likely will be spent on infrastructure such as housing, roads, water plants, etc.

Dave   NORV 5 million barrels/day at 80 bucks......400Million USD/day.... which would equal almost 583,966,880,000 Iraqi Dinars/day.......or about 17,5T IQD a month.........You suggest they have Juust that in its entirety?      NORV ???????What you be talking about?

Finance: Borrowing powers are part of the general budget until the formation of the new government

Friday 01 October 2021 The Ministry of Finance said that the borrowing powers are part of the general budget law to address the transitional period until the formation of the new government.

The ministry indicated, in a press statement, to what was circulated on social media about the authorization of borrowing granted to the Minister of Finance in accordance with the recent decisions of the Council of Ministers, usually that the motive behind these false news is electoral propaganda only.

The ministry explained, "All the loans referred to in that decision were negotiated and approved months or even two years ago and are part of the budget approved by the House of Representatives, and the Minister of Finance has been authorized to make it valid during the transitional period between the elections and the new government only."

And she added, "The public has the right to know why the ministry was forced to borrow despite the recent rise in oil prices, and this is due to the fact that the government's current expenditures from salaries, retirement and social transfers amount to approximately 6 trillion Iraqi dinars per month, before other current expenditures and investment expenditures are added, and debt service at the local and international levels, and the fulfillment of arrears from previous obligations to the electricity and other sectors.

butterfly    And the Ministry of Finance confirmed that "Iraq must abide by the decisions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries that obligate it to reduce its production of oil, and the dues of licensing contracts and compensation for the Kuwait war, which are deducted from export revenues, must be paid."

She explained, "The revenues that we get from oil exports per month amount to about 6.5 trillion Iraqi dinars at current prices, and it is completely wrong to claim that the ministry is borrowing without reason, because the government is obligated to borrow to meet budget goals and maintain credit rating stability in local and international markets."

The Ministry of Finance also indicated that it issues negotiable bonds to improve the work of the money market and provide safe and rewarding securities to investors and civil institutions, stressing its commitment to diversifying sources of funding and working insistently on reforming the tax and customs system after years of neglect.

butterfly   https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Oil-slips-as-OPEC-considers-boosting-output-in-tight-market Oil slips as OPEC+ considers boosting output in tight market 2021-10-01 02:51

Shafaq News/ Oil prices dropped on Friday on the prospect that the OPEC+ supplier alliance might step up a planned increase in output to ease supply concerns, with soaring gas prices spurring power producers to switch from gas to oil.

Brent crude futures fell 12 cents, or 0.2%, to $78.19 a barrel at 0638 GMT, but were still heading for a small rise on the week, marking a fourth straight week of gains.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures slipped 15 cents to $74.88 a barrel, though the contract remained on track to post a sixth consecutive week of rises.

All eyes are now on a meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies led by Russia, together known as OPEC+, on Monday, where producers will discuss whether to go beyond their existing deal to boost production by 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) in November and December.

Four OPEC+ sources said adding more oil was being looked at as a scenario, without giving details on volumes or dates, against a backdrop of oil hovering near a three-year high and pressure from consumers for more supply.

"There is a chance they might further raise output given how high prices are," said Howie Lee, an economist at Singapore's OCBC bank.

"Last time we saw $80, supply was considerably more than where we are right now and I think the world could do with some extra barrels now given the global energy crunch."

Consultancy Energy Aspects expects OPEC+ to roll over its decision to raise output by 400,000 barrels per day each month between August and December. Brent would need to sustain above $80 to change that, analyst Virendra Chauhan said.

butterfly   ANZ Research analysts said in a note: "The upcoming OPEC+ meeting on Monday will be crucial for oil price direction next week. A production increase beyond 400,000 bpd would see some short-term relief."

In the United States, the Biden administration's concern about high oil prices was on the agenda for a meeting between U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman earlier this week, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

With natural gas prices soaring globally, power producers have been turning to fuel oil or diesel instead of gas, yanking oil prices higher. Generators in Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Middle East have already started switching fuels.

"This suggests that we should see strong oil demand in the coming months, which means a tighter-than-expected oil market through until the end of the year," ING commodity analysts said in a note. Source: Reuters

butterfly   https://www.shafaq.com/en/Iraq-News/What-has-changed-after-two-years-of-the-October-Uprising What has changed after two years of the "October Uprising"? 2021-10-01 05:55

Shafaq News / Dozens of demonstrators commemorated the second anniversary of the “October Uprising” in Tahrir Square, the center of Baghdad.

Hundreds of thousands of citizens participated in these demonstrations, the majority of whom were young people, and their most prominent slogans were "We want a homeland,” "Sunnis and Shiites are we won’t sell our country,” and other slogans that denounced the interference of neighboring countries in Iraqi affairs.

During these demonstrations, which lasted for more than a year, more than 700 demonstrators were killed, in addition to the injury of about 27 thousand others.

The demands focused on reforms, and to put an end to corruption, quotas, and the failure at the political and administrative level.

The popular movement resulted in the overthrow of the government headed by Adel Abdul-Mahdi, and the adoption of a number of decisions, including conducting early elections under a new law.

But the demonstrators still see that their movement has not yielded all their demands, in addition they are concerned about the ability of the current government, or the one that will emerge from the elections to achieve a civil state in which a decent life prevails for all citizens.
