"RV UPDATE" BY MILITIAMAN, 29 OCT
Militia Man
Every one asks why isn't it [HCL] done yet?
...Everybody wants it today...I know everybody wants it. So do I, but the truth is we're seeing things that's never been done before...They have the law out there and written. They just haven't got to it...
I think we all know...if they were going to do it at 1310, 1305 or 1320 they would have already done this by now and they haven't...I hope and pray...the thing that they need is an international Article VIII compliant exchange rate...
A lot of different things that go on behind the scenes that your average person has no idea that it's even going on. They're just looking for what we all are to some degree - When's it going to go, when's it going to happen.
But it's a complex process and the awesome thing about it is what we're seeing in public and behind the scenes is showing it's coming. It's coming fast. It's coming furious. It's good.
If you've been paying attention closely, it isn't just the oil and gas law anymore. It's the oil, gas and natural resources law.
They're going to add more to it so the citizens are going to benefit from this...that's all the politicians too. Everybody in the country is going to benefit from it...

Iraq announces self-sufficiency in various food and industrial production sectors, 29 OCT
Iraq announces self-sufficiency in various food and industrial production sectors
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals said it has reached total autonomy from its reliance on exports for various types of products, ranging from dairy products to cement.
On Oct. 28, Zuha Juburi, spokesperson for the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals, told the Iraqi News Agency that the country no longer relies on imports of various products, including dairy, juices, soft drinks, sugar, mineral water, cement, industrial salt, table salt, canned aluminum containers, and some veterinary vaccines.
Juburi reiterated that the production of these items is only enough to meet the needs of the domestic market so far, and has not exported any existing surplus.
The ministry also stressed the need to comply with quality assurance principles and international standards in the production of these products to improve the quality of their products and compete with imported products.
The Iraqi government has been known to institute protectionist measures and ban certain imports to support its domestic companies. The country banned the import of eggs, frozen fish, oranges, tomatoes and cucumbers, with many of the food products coming from neighboring Turkey.
Iraq is a net food import country that heavily relies on other countries to feed its population. The country exclusively exports its wheat, a problematic situation that has been exacerbated by the Russo-Ukrainian War, involving two countries that provide more than a quarter of the global wheat supply, according to a Dec. 2022 United Nations report.
Complicating Iraq’s economic uncertainty is its overreliance on petroleum, which reportedly makes up 97% of the country’s exports. The country ultimately lacks any reliable export sector for its manufacturing industry.

Iraq's Al-Sadr Calls for Shutdown of US Mission
ERBIL — Iraqi prominent Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr on Friday urged the Iraqi government and parliament to shut down the US embassy in Baghdad in response to the US backing of Israel amid the escalating conflict in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement he shared on X, the Shia cleric called on Iraq's government and parliament to unite and approve demands calling for the shutdown of the US mission in the country in protest to Washington’s support for Israel in the ongoing war with Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip.
However, he urged the Iraqi government and military forces to protect foreign missions in the country amid recurrent attacks targeting US bases in Anbar and the Kurdistan Region in recent days.

In response to these security threats, the US government on Sunday decided to evacuate non-essential personnel from its embassy in Baghdad. Washington has since updated its travel advisory too, strongly encouraging its citizens to avoid traveling to Iraq.
