Samson: Protesters tried to burn the home of the candidate for prime minister in southern Iraq
14th December, 2019
Angry protesters tried this evening, Saturday, to set fire to the house of Member of Parliament, Mohamed Shiaa Al-Sudani, in Maysan Governorate, southern Iraq.
Security sources said to Shafak News, that protesters came to the Sudanese house in the Al-Hussein neighborhood of Al-Amara city and tried to burn it, but they withdrew for unknown reasons.
The sources added that the security forces have reinforced their presence around the house to prevent any attempt to burn it. The sources added that the house is empty and no one lives because the Sudanese lives with his family in the capital, Baghdad.
And there were demonstrations in several Iraqi provinces against what was reported by an agreement between political forces on the nomination of the leader of the Dawa Party, Mohamed Shi'a Al-Sudani, to succeed the resigned Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi.
Protesters confirmed their refusal to nominate the Sudanese, who held several ministerial positions in previous governments, to head the next government. Activists on social media circulated marches in the Tahrir Square in central Baghdad, Basra, Babil, Diwaniya and other areas against the candidacy of the Sudanese.
Al-Sudani announced in his tweet on Friday his resignation from the Dawa Party and from the "State of Law coalition" led by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, and confirmed that he is not "a candidate by any party." LINK

Frank26 & Walkingstick ...IMO we know it's a 1 to 1 rate because they told us and we have the articles to prove it. But [Guru] Walkingstick said, 'don't be surprised. They said 1 to 1 but it could be higher.'...
Frank26 ...1 to 1 is not realistic. This is the first time I mention it to anybody...I don't worry about the rate. I don't think a program rate is enough to fulfill the budget. I also now don't think 1 to 1 is enough. Especially with the recalculations...

Economic Collapse News - The Fed's Half a Trillion In Liquidity, Retail Sales Freeze Holiday Season
Silver report Uncut: Dec 14, 2019
Economic collapse news December 14, 2019. First we look at the feds recent statement that they are initiating $500 billion dollars in new liquidity provisions.
This is a much larger sum than QE1 and according to the Federal reserve there is no recession in sight. Next we look at November retail sales have surprisingly stalled.
My issue with this is just last week they were explaining to us that online black Friday sales had reached an all time record along with cyber Monday.
All together you can't take anything away from online sales but we point to the stalled overall retail sales meaning between the two to reach an average of basically unchanged brick and mortar retail sales had a crushing black Friday and the holiday shopping season is almost over.
We have stated several time this is a make or break season for many retailers who have debts coming due.
