Mnt Goat …they are now telling us they can see light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. No, they do not directly tell us this but you can read into the articles and understand the tone…
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY:
On November the 20th to the 21st we have a curfew for the very first census in the last 27 years. FRANK: …It looks like Sudani ordered for this new census to occur for your HCL benefits as Iraqi citizens. It seems to me the only reason he’s doing it now is because you have a new exchange rate that they can work with. If not…there wouldn’t be a new census…as they determine the fair amount everyone is supposed to get. This new census IMO screens that there is a new exchange rate…

The Fed JUST ADMITTED The US Dollar Doesn’t Stand A Chance
Atlantis Report: 9-18-2024
Get ready, because the economy is in trouble, and even the important people at the Federal Reserve are starting to worry-they just realized that the strong U.S. dollar may not be as powerful as they thought.
The signs are clear, and it’s not good. The U.S. economy has been quite volatile recently, experiencing more ups and downs than a roller coaster.
Now, some of the most influential figures in the financial world are raising concerns. The Federal Reserve took the widely expected step today of announcing its first interest rate cut in years, a move that will have a major impact on the finances of Americans across the board, making borrowing cheaper, though the golden days of high-yield savings instruments may be over.
