2021-01-20 Where is MntGoat?

After a couple of posts were deleted/censored-by-FB last week, I was really looking forward to MntGoat’s Latest Newsletter….but so far nothing (as of 8am, New York time). Let me know if you’ve heard anything, like maybe an alternate site?

The Latest MntGoat Newsletter includes

All the news coming out of Iraq is positive. It is all about two important topics mostly namely fighting their corruption and reforming the banking sector. We already know that almost all of the efforts are completed to bring Iraq online to the international community. This is coming soon. Hang in a bit longer.

Headlines include

  • NOURI AL-MALIKI’S GANGS CONTROL IRAQ’S BANKS AND PLUNDER CURRENCY AUCTIONS TO FINANCE IRAN AND HEZBOLLAH
  • AL-SADR: THE TIME HAS COME TO EXPOSE AND HOLD ACCOUNTABLE THE “IMPUDENT MILITIAS”

What I Love About MntGoat

Years ago, I came to appreciate MntGoat for two things. First, the gurus started to hate her; some even banned her from their calls and chat-rooms. She was making sense and they were often off in la-la-land. “Hope-ium” hates facts, I suppose! Second, and at the same time, she backed up everything she said. She didn’t just push an assertion, she crafted a judgement and included facts to support it, often providing links to the sources of her facts. MntGoat totally rocks!!


I am no guru, but I read alot about Iraq. Thanks to MntGoat I have had access to some websites that report on Iraq, usually from within Iraq and the Middle East. As you know from reading her posts, the Farsi-to-English translations are VERY hard to understand!!

I have recently found a resource that ‘aggregates’ news about Iraq. In addition to the usual awkwardly translated material they include a variety of English-speaking sources. That is, people writing in English for an English-speaking audience. It is no replacement for news sourced right from Iraq, but these articles often provide great perspective and context…in my language.

I invite you to check out NewsNow.com’s Iraq page (https://www.newsnow.com/us/World/Middle+East/Iraq).
