Millions of Iraqis Demand US Forces Leave their Country While Our Color Revolutionaries Stay Home



While our color revolution assets in Iraq pretend they are all about calling for a sovereign Iraq, they stayed at home because that is not at all what they want. They want regime change because the current government wants us out and is growing ever closer to Iran, China and Russia. Meanwhile Sadr calls for a million Iraqis to show up to demand we leave... and at least two million answer that call. Looks like The Donald is going to be the president to lose all those financial gains from the illegal and immoral Iraq invasion and occupation.

US threatens to cut off Iraq's access to oil account in New York if troops expelled: Paper

from Press TV

Iraqi officials say the administration of US President Donald Trump has threatened to shut off Iraq's access to a key central banking account if Baghdad expels American troops from the Arab country.
Washington would shut down Baghdad's access to its main account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, used to collect revenues from Iraq's overseas oil sales, The Wall Street Journal quoted the officials as saying. 
According to the most recent financial statement from the Central Bank of Iraq, the bank held almost $3 billion in overnight deposits at the close of 2018.
The report came a day after Trump implicitly threatened to seize $35 billion of Iraqi money held in US banks if the country insists on having American forces withdrawn from Iraq.
Trump said he had told Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi that Iraq "should pay back the United States for its investments in the country over the past several years or the American military will stay there," Fox News reported.
"I said, 'If we leave, you got to pay us,'" Trump told the news network in the White House. "If we leave ... you have to pay us for the money we put in."
Asked how he planned to collect money from Iraq, Trump said: "Well, we have a lot of their money right now. We have a lot of their money. We have $35 billion of their money right now sitting in an account.
"And I think they’ll agree to pay. I think they’ll agree to pay. Otherwise, we’ll stay there," he added...

Baghdad Embassy Evacuated After Iraqis Respond to US Attacking Their Military Forces



In all likelihood the attack on the K1 base last week was a ff that was done in order to provide justification for our attacking Kata'ib Hizbullah. Any way you look at it, KH would not attack Iraqi soldiers so blaming them makes no sense. Of course, our neocon warmongers are using this opportunity to call for war against Iran which had nothing to do with this at all.

Who Is The Third Force Behind Killing Iraqi Protesters?

from Piazza Della Carina

Over forty days since outbreak of demonstrations in Iraq, people continue to protest in the streets of the capital and southern cities against corruption and poor services. Despite the news about winding down of the protests, news still come out talking about civilian deaths.

The Iraqi security and military sources now blame a “third party” responsible for killing of the protestors. Defense Minister Nejah al-Shomari, for example, recently presented evidence suggesting that the type of weapons by which people are killed are not used by the security forces and police and that very likely a third force is targeting the demonstrators. On November 15, while there were light demonstrations with small number of people, a hand-made bomb exploded killing a protestor and wounding 16 others.

Now the question is that who is directing such violent actions behind the scenes? What are their goals? Since the beginning, some home and foreign media in quite targeted propaganda tried to blame the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), the voluntary force founded in 2014 to fight ISIS terrorist group, for the actions. However, to make clarifications, a multi-level analysis is necessary...
