Money laundering petrodollars through the US has just become much easier. Two days days before the Saudi Purge, Trump pulled out of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), which was codified into US law by fmr GOP Sen Richard Lugar. The US will no longer participate in a global initiative that requires member nations to disclose their revenues from oil, gas and mining assets. Under the agreement, the US was required to reveal all the revenue it received from oil, gas and mining companies, and required those companies to publicly disclose the payments they make to the US and other governments. http://

1. I think it's interesting that a President can revoke ...

codified law.

3. I was wondering if anyone knows for sure that he did.

The rest of the thread deals with money laundeting petrodollars through an IPO for ARAMCO. Anyone read about this?

2. And on the heels of Jareds surprise visit and the Saudi clampdown

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

5. Oh yeah. That, too!

I mean. JFChrist on a popsicle stick!!
If Obama or Clinton had done one one-hundredth of what the trumps and their aides have done, investigations would make Benghazi look like a parent asking who left 1/2oz of milk in the jug

6. I'm surprised this topic isn't being hashed out here, or did I

miss its first debut? I think the ramifications are huge in the world oil market and for world economics.

7. Im not seeing the most chatter on this.

It’s all guns and dnc.

Rest assured Mueller has his focus.

Just looking at it closer now. Looks rotten.

9. Trump and the Rs overturned that EITI transparency law,

and yes, the Saudis are planning a 2 trillion dollar IPO. Looks like Mohammed Bin Salaman is consolidating power and money.
