Why the Fed raising interest rates wasn't all that surprisingNew York Post
Even if last Friday’s employment report had been a dud, the Federal Reserve was likely to raise interest rates again this week. But the report wasn’t bad. In fact, the 228,000 new jobs created in November exceeded the 190,000 that were expected. And November’s gains continued a streak of improvement in the job market that has lasted for a few months. The one exception was September, when only 38,000 new jobs were created. And that disappointment resulted mainly from the rash of hurricanes that Read the full story

12-13-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ PRESENTED ITS FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC VISIONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS LEFT WITH JOYFUL IMPRESSION" ...they are “buttering” everyone up to accepting the future policies of the CBI...One of which we know is monetary reform (includes getting back their real currency true value. Remember the article I presented a month ago? It talked about how neighboring countries namely Iran, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia want to conduct trade in their own currencies. How can Iraq do this when they have these currency auctions which mandate the conversion of dinar IQD to USD for payment. Oh -wait one second...we now know technically this is no longer mandated since Iraq is now “fully” out of Un Chapter VII sanctions. It is just a matter of a short while before Iraq makes this long awaited change over.

Subject: FW: Dinar Update Tuesday Noon
Summary: The following scenario has very little strong evidence to support it, but a lot of small bits and pieces which suggest that this is the way the puzzle goes together. So, I am going to suggest this scenario, and let you watch to see if it is correct:
The United States of America is on the verge of martial law. US Marines have been conducting excercises for a month, practicing protecting US citizens, banks, and exchange centers. Some of them have probably been practicing arresting indicted politicians. The National Guard units of some states have been put on alert, to back up the Marines. So have elements of the United States Army.
Today, the number of sealed indictments has reached 9000. Not widely known, each indictment may hold 100 up to 1000 named and indicted individuals on the listed charges. That means that there may be 900,000 to 9 Million people under indictment. These indictments are spread out over all of the states and district court areas. There is talk of further indictments as the heads of certain agencies are arrested, get plea agreements, and finger their subordinates.
We have been told that the plan was to get the indictment number up to 10,000 before they were opened. We were told that this might take until January. There might be a million people indicted by that time. Fisher has said that those who cooperate and agree to participate in a South Africa-like Truth and Reconciliation program would be allowed to live, and those who did not agree would be killed or taken off planet.
I understand that the Republic has been funded, and will be replacing the Corporation of the United States. The Republic may be the entity to call for martial law.
The purpose of the martial law is to take away power from the Deep Cabal while they are being rounded up. We understand that the FEMA camps which were originally built to contain individuals who opposed the Deep State have been repurposed so that they will keep Cabal members and families there. Martial Law would allow for Military Tribunals to try the Cabal members. These are much faster, studies show that they are much more fair, and do not rely on corrupt Federal judges chosen by past presidents.
Marine units claim that we are nearly at the point where: Martial law will be inacted, sealed injunctions will be opened and arrests begin. The new currency release may also be at this time, and the RV/GCR may coincide, or follow slightly.
Let there be peace on Earth!

Abadi before returning from Paris: Corruption is the most important reasons for the entry of terrorism to Iraq
2017/12/13 8:29
[Ayna-Baghdad]
Prime Minister Haider Abadi concluded his visit to the French capital Paris and returned to Baghdad after the Iraqi delegation participated in the Paris Climate Summit.
"Iraq has cleared its land of terrorists and we are moving towards reconstruction and concern for the environment that has been neglected for decades by wars," Abbadi said in a speech on the sidelines of the Paris Climate Conference on Tuesday.
He added that "Iraq's participation in international meetings is fundamental and effective," noting that "the world owes Iraq to its sacrifices and suffering and the fight against terrorism, and the great Iraqi successes call on the international community to stand with Iraq."
"There is an international trend to support Iraq, and we are benefiting from the atmosphere of international meetings to create an environment conducive to investment and to support the economy and reconstruction of Iraq, and initiatives to support Iraq has now begun."
"The fight against corruption is part of the reconstruction and stability. If there is corruption, there can be no reconstruction and stability in the country," Abbadi said, pointing out that the main reason for the entry of terrorism into Iraq is corruption and fighting it is a vital and vital part.
He said: "Our relations with countries are for the sake of common interests, which is important for the continuation of international support for Iraq, and we have seen through our meetings with world leaders the readiness to support Iraq even in the fight against terrorism, intelligence, because terrorism threatens other countries and we must cooperate in this field."
"What was put forward at the Paris climate conference is that Iraq can be a shining picture of the countries that have been subjected to terrorism and how they have risen again, and terrorism is looking for other places, but it will not be possible for us to be cooperative," he said.
"We do not want the world to abandon us after we have accomplished our task of eradicating terrorism and liberating our land and keeping Iraq united," he said. "We call for a very dangerous terrorist organization. We must be careful about it. And its ability to recruit young people. "
"Iraq is a success story in eradicating terrorism, and we must preserve this achievement and preserve Iraq's unity," he said. "Iraqis are equal in rights and duties regardless of religion or nationality. This message is important and we have established it in Iraq."
"The Peshmerga fought alongside the Iraqi army and the rest of our forces in the liberation of Mosul, and there are those who wanted to differentiate between the Peshmerga and the Iraqi army through the referendum and the fighting of the army, but we said that the Peshmerga were part of our forces, The Peshmerga are part of the Iraqis and should be cooperated with them. "
"We are the first of others in our country, and we want the help that we ask and we know where to go," he said.
"Iraq today has changed, and the world has come to him, and we have identified the assistance of the international community to us when we fought to support a group of things and did not expand it and did not fight on Iraqi soil other than the Iraqis," he said.
"We do not want the world to donate billions of dollars to us. We are realists and we need basic things," he said. "Iraq must remain a center of attention for its successful experiment, and we must preserve this status.
