"The Agency will continue to provide basic humanitarian services and additional support to minorities, such as psychosocial support for those who have suffered genocide, enslavement and violence," said Thomas Stahl, USAID adviser. "The budget provided by President Donald Trump included a 30 per cent cut, but for Iraq, we are actually considering additional funding, especially for the Da'ash victims," he told an interview at the US embassy in Baghdad.
Stall said the US government has provided humanitarian aid to Iraq worth about 1.7 billion dollars since the terrorist organization seized control of northern Iraq in 2014.
The assistance includes a total grant of $ 265 million to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Stabilization Fund for Iraq in 2016 and 2017.
Stall said Iraq is excluded from the Trump policy of reducing aid because of the terrible plight, which experienced by the victims of the organization in particular, 'noting that this policy' applied in the short term.

Iraq opens the door to 300 Jordanian goods and exempts them from customs duties
The Jordanian government approved the exemption of more than 300 Jordanian goods from customs duties.
The judges said in a statement to the newspaper "Arab New" that the exemption of these goods from customs duties came at the request of Jordan earlier this year 2017, under the bilateral free trade agreement signed between the two countries, which is the only between Iraq and an Arab country.
He pointed out that the Iraqi side, briefed on the reality of the industrial sectors of Jordan, wishing to export to Iraq, as the goods that will be issued and will benefit from the decision is of Jordanian origin.
Iraq has imposed customs duties on all imports from different countries by 30%, as of last year, as part of a plan aimed at the Iraqi government to protect domestic products and increase tax revenues.
The Minister of Industry and Trade of Jordan expected that the exemption of goods from customs will contribute to increasing Jordan's exports to the Iraqi market, which has declined significantly in the last five years due to the security situation in Iraq and the closure of land borders between the two countries.
The border crossing between Iraq and Jordan was reopened at the end of last August, after being completely entangled since 2014, due to attacks on a large number of western parts of Iraq prior to its recent liberation.
The Jordanian minister said that Iraq is one of the most important export markets for Jordanian products, pointing out that many Jordanian factories were established for export to the Iraqi market.
Jordanian exports to Iraq last year amounted to about $ 695 million, while before the unrest it was about $ 2 billion.
Jordanian and Iraqi trucks exchange cargo inside the trade exchange. Jordanian Minister of Industry said in a press statement last November that Iraqi trucks will not be allowed to enter Jordanian territory until after the security reasons have completely disappeared.
Jordan's exports to Iraq during the first five months of this year amounted to $ 200 million, while imports of Iraqi goods amounted to $ 700,000.

Business Insider UK
The Federal Reserve is widely expected to raise rates at its December policy meeting, making what it signals about future increases more of the focus. Fed officials are confident in the recovery, and are expected to stick to forecasts for another three or even four rate increases in 2018. Low inflation, which has undershot the Fed's 2% target for several years and points to lingering economic weakness, is a key factor that could complicate the outlook. Federal Reserve policy has become Read the full story

Dear John: In past columns you have written that the US economy is broken and can’t be fixed. Your articles are very informative, but I wonder if you may have changed that opinion lately. It was reported recently that the US economy grew at 3 percent for the last quarter even with all the hurricane destruction that took place. The quarter before that, it grew at 3.2 percent. So what do you think? Do you wish to adjust your earlier feeling that the economy is broken and unfixable? Thank you for Read the full story

ITALY is secretly hatching plans to sideline the euro and set up a parallel currency. In a move that will spark fears across the EU of an “Italexit”, three of the country’s political parties are backing the introduction of “Fiscal Credit Certificates” as an alternative to the euro. The complex plan has the approval of the European Central Bank. Among the parties backing it is Silvio Berlosconi’s Forza Italia, which has enjoyed an astonishing comeback in the polls.

At one time you gave a 1 to 10 scale, how bout a 1 to 100 scale rating on chances by 1-1-2018 and how HAPPY we may be according to my bar mentioned above. I AIN'T going to be happy unless you respond to this comment. Thanks hopefully in advance.

DR. CLARKE (12-4-17) - OPINION:
To Leroy: Thank You. Here’s another Blessed Opinion, yes another stupid opinion, based on our most careful, pinpointed, direct, believed, knowed, insightful, given, specific, planned months ahead of schedule, tipped you off, CALCULATED, B.S. Opinion:
....
We like DECEMBER 23, 2017 at a probability rate of 99.999999% (because everything in life is a probability - EVERYTHING)... and thus mainly why we wrote, WAY BACK THIS SUMMER 6 MONTHS AGO, in our JULY 7-27-17 Post:
DECEMBER: “You’re Santa Clause" (or something similar).
HOWEVER, it wouldn’t surprise us at all now, if they waited until 11:59 pm, on DECEMBER 31, 2017 (Iraq Time) - thus, WHY we wrote about January 1st, a few days ago, in our 11-26-17 Post… that’s “WHY”.
IN ANY EVENT, that VERY LAST WEEK of DECEMBER 2017, is what we’re talking about, but we Really Really Really Really Really like the 23rd for some reason. DECEMBER 23rd. Who knows - maybe because it’s a SATURDAY, 2 days before the Big Day, and SANTA will be flying high, at RECORD SPEED, dropping Lower Denoms, turning off currency auctions and currency dealers, magically in RECORD TIME!... Illogically Speaking.
Leroy, you like .50 cents? Great. Santa likes FAR NORTH of that, due to OIL & GOLD Futures skyrocketing up now, and into 2018 & beyond. Thus, $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00+ ... what was that silly rate way back in 2002, 15 years ago? - $3.00+
WE HOPE THIS IS CLEAR & DIRECT ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE.
ARE YOU HAPPY? YES? NO? Well, you should Be.
MAKE NO MISTAKE.

RAY RAP/TRAINING Session Notes, Sunday, Dec 10, 2017
RAY'S RAP SESSION, Sunday, Dec 10, 2017
RAY: It could come out at a different rate than in the budget. (indication was it could come out higher). If everything unfolds, the way I was told, I’m anticipating seeing a ratechange on Monday. . . when we have a new rate then can we exchange now? do we have to wait? Those type of things need to be answered. Banks: The rates for the currencies we have interest in are grayed out in anticipation of a rate change. Until that rate change kicks in the rates aregoing to be grayed out.. . Grayed out means the rate cannot be seen. That would indicate they (the currencies we are interested in) will all change at the same time.
Currency Brokers/Dealers: Three years ago we told you that was going tohappen. They (the dealers) told us back then they would have a 30 minutenotice or better and none of them will be shut down or stop selling, they just change the price. They told us a long time ago they would not shut down, just modify (their rates).
Information came to me they were trying to get this done by Thanksgiving because people wanted to take vacations. That did not happen. Dec 20?
My train of focus is on Dec 11.
Caller: – All over the boards that CNN announced a new rate for the Dinar of$7.12. Have you heard that?
Ray chuckling: Just got notice a member brought that into chat as a rumor. If you hear a rumor that might have some substance it’s okay to bring it into chat. That way we can start chasing it down to see if it has some substance. Preference it, that this is the rumor, and then we can intelligently address that and people can use their resources and pursue it. Then I’ll run it up to my intel . . . to see what they can find about this. How you present it – if you present it as fact, then I’m going to challenge it. If you present it as a question, then that’s what we are here to do, so we are not sitting here on pins and needles every day, falling for whatever comedown the pike. Right here at the end I suspect it will be even more so. Because people will have money to react. What better time to sucker you? When you have money! We are just waiting for a rate change. If the rate change is on Monday at $3.70 (example only). What are you going to do and why? You need to be able to answer those two questions you are ready. If not, your not ready. I would spend the rest of today answering those just in case a rate change is on Monday. . . . I have been telling you guys for two years now what to do when it’s time. There is the best of us and the rest of us. Those are two different TNT clubs. When the rate changes on Monday, it’s your decision which one you will belong to. None of us can tell you what you should do. Just give you options on what you can do. Those are the two questions – The rate goes live and the rate is $3.70 what are you going to do and why? Or the rate is $2.17 what are you going to do and why? Or $4.11 what are you going to do and why? If you do it right, that is how generation wealth is created. Or generational poverty. What are you going to do and why? As long as you have the answer for you, you are ready.
Caller: One of the options for waiting is 1st, 2nd, 3rd mouse; task forces around the country in 13 cities as soon as possible after the green light; once the rate comes out we know we can always get that rate; protect your bread – get your wits about you. Contract rate quickly but we don’t know what the NDA is going to say. It’s a consideration if your going after the contract rate. If you find something in the NDA not to your likely you should be ready to say, “Thank you but no thank you” and leave. Another reason you maybe able to get a loan against the currency (using it as an asset just like borrowing against a house or car)
Caller: With your understanding and what you know right now, does this look like the week to you? Ray: “I’m going to give you your answer” and then he played “It’s YourSeason To Be Blessed.” Are you ready to walk into your season? There are some powerful messages in music. Now the information you have received this weekend and some you have not received, Norman Hutchins wraps it up in, “It’s Your Season To Be Blessed.”
We already know the time frame. I summed it up this morning. I said three words came to me this weekend. NO MORE EXCUSES. All the things we thought had to happen have happened. The significant ones. There are some irons in the fire right now. We are just waiting for them to open the door to the stove so we can see the flames. We know there is a fire in there. Does that have a distinct meaning. Yes, it does! We have reasons to feel good right now. Look at the things that re out of the way. What more could come up that could prolong this for 6 months. Some posting 2018 . . . 2019 for this. Based on what?Some things we faced this year we had no idea would be an issue. Some of them after the facts that . . . became a good scapegoat for the country. Liberation for a country that at one time did not need to be liberated. When we started who gave a flip about ISIS? Abadi came in with bells and whistles. Seemed what took Maliki took forever to do whatever, Abadi didin weeks.
Somebody wasn’t ready for it to happen as far as I’m concerned so they had to create some issues that were the excuse for the hold up. This whole ISIS things . . . was not even an issue years ago. There was no civil strife at that time. Just the Iraqi’s and the Kurd's had to agree on how to run their country. Look at how it transformed from that, into civil war and fighting. Now it’s behind us again. One country. Celebrating today. What could be next? Rate change. Decided to make today a holiday. Could it be this is going to be the holiday that will represent the rate change in the country? Just a thought. We will know by the end of the day. Just a thought. Don’t get all excited. But there are some irons in the fire. Some people stoking the coals as they say. If nothing else we should hear some information throughout the evening . . . or in the morning.We should feel good about where we are. Know we have 66 locations across the US right now, that we can go to. . . The minute that rate changes we don’t kneed a public announcement of the RV. Just the rate change. Whether there is a public release or not. We are just waiting for the rate change. Then are we going in and why for that rate on that particular day. Your in control. Once we see a rate we like the game changes. We will make those decisions. That is what we have tried to geareveryone up for. That you have the information to make the best decision for you and your family. . . If it comes out at $2.00 . . . $3.71 . . . $4.50 you don’t have to rush. The market is going to play with it and take it up. $10 . . . Why rush in on $10 when you can wait a few days and pick it up at $20. If it comes back own where is it going to bottom out at? $10. It is not a stock. It is a country’s currency – there currency is established based on the value ofthat country. Sure, it may fluctuate a few pennies, but not dollars. This is going to be too easy for those who use their brain . . . to make a killing. . . . No matter what decision you make it is going to be good. Even if the market does not drive it up for a few days what have we lost? Nothing. So then I say, "Guys looks like it's not going to drive it up so go do your business. " I don't see a loss there. Whatever Iraq comes out at it will be there for 90 days because the rules say they can't change it (for 90 days). When I go in I will have a pretty good idea on what the banks are doing. I waited. I will still come out "smelling like a rose" because I waited. That's the only way I can see it unfold because . . . it's the value of the currency. That's all the notes I could take as I have to get ready for church thismorning - Sunny

Jubouri calls for disarming "partisan weapons" everywhere in Iraq
Date Created: 2017/12/10 14:41
[Ayna-Baghdad]
Speaker of the House of Representatives Saleem al-Jubouri called for the disarmament of party parties everywhere in Iraq.
"Iraq has been and continues to be an important cornerstone of the world, and our current evidence is that the change that took place in 2003 was the key to a broad change in the Arab world," Jubouri said during his participation in the 13th session of the Manama Dialogue on Regional Security.
"We have to admit that what happened to Iraq was not the result of an internal Iraqi conflict but a product of a conflict known to the parties about the hegemony of the sources of energy and strategic communications in the region and control the capabilities and wealth of their people."
"Terrorism is a global scourge that threatens humanity wherever it is, and eradicating it completely is not achieved by military resolution in its areas of proliferation, but by a comprehensive international program aimed at its intellectual roots and basic floods," he said.
He pointed out that "addressing these challenges will be possible only with a regional and international support for the unity of Iraq and its positive role in the region."
Turning to the most important challenges facing the hurdles is to complete the construction of a state of constitutional institutions, which hampered some of the fight against terrorism.
He pointed to "tackling the deep problems in the political, economic, social and security programs, limiting the arms of the state, refraining from the policy of militarizing the society and disarming partisan parties everywhere in Iraq."
Jabouri called for "a reform campaign to address the slandering and corruption that has been conspicuously and dangerously threatening the future of the country."
He urged "the sharing of power on the basis of national partnership and renunciation of monopoly, and the distribution of wealth and the work force and production equally on all Iraqis, including minorities who still suffer some kind of marginalization and exclusion."
He also called for rebuilding confidence among the Iraqi factions and removing the factors of division and division.
He pointed to the importance of "removing the Iraqi theater from the cycle of conflicts in the region and not to make it a field to settle international accounts at the expense of the blood of its people and the unity of its people and present and future."
