Arriving in Iraq (Not What I Expected)

It's hard to believe that I'm arriving in Iraq, truly not what I expected. Incredible to experience the culture and meet this amazing people in Baghdad and other areas. Indeed, not what I expected.

Baghdad was a kurdish city. Bagdad in Kurdish means land of lords. Bags were lords and my family are Bags and many Kurds! If you search in Arabic there is no meaning for Bagdad and just says online city of peace which should be مدینە السلام(madina alsalam) so why don't they say madina alsalam? Because Bag dad are both Kurdish words again! Arabs, Pars/fars and Mongols/Turks stole our land, history and language. They stole everything from us Sumerians/Kurds for over a 1000 years with the help of some western countries also! Kerbela also was a kurdish city! Ker=donkey lol Kurds used donkeys to move goods around and one time the donkeys got sick and became problem so they named the place ker=donkey bela=problem. Ker is bela! Donkey is problem! Get it Kurds? Wake up please. Kerkuk anyone? Ker+kuk. There is a story behind every city name! The Arabs came up from Arabia and took our land! Also Pars/ Fars new race was made during the times Arabs moved here and Kurdish kingdoms hired these gypsy Arabs and called them Pars, pars/ parastin Fars/Persian are Kurdish words and mean protecter and protecting. Fars have no idea and they even say pars for bark. They have no idea that's where their name Pars came from! They love to say they are Aria but they don't know the real words are Ar+yan= pure being/pure flame in Kurdish. Everything about Fars/Pars is a lie! They believe Evesta belongs to pars but if you gave them the book they have no idea what the words are but Kurds can read it easily because Zertosht meaning Serdasht used to be a cities name and the people from ser dasht were called ser dashty! Their leader of course was called serdashty which became zartoshti in Parsi lol Everything Pars knows is a lie! Many Kurds were assimilated and thought they were pars/fars. Kurus is a Kurdish word and means the Boy and he was a kurdish king. But Pars have no idea what kuru even means in Frasi because again it's a Kurdish word we use everyday to say Boy! Turks are all originated from China! Look it up! I hear Turks say they are indiginous to these lands but if you look it up you'll see all Turks are originated from China! Kurds are descendents of Sumerians, the oldest civilization on Earth so does that mean Kurds are the indiginous people along with Greeks who I belive are very close relatives of Kurds. Even Armenians are from the Balkans! They killed almost 1 million kurds with the help of Russian army and took kurdish land! Assyrians are from Arabian pennensula and their language is proof to this calim, semetic languages are not originated from Masepotamia! Kurdish is new version of Sumerian and kurds are the only people who can read Sumerians tablets. Now talk to the ✋️ Here are some examples of North Kurdish language and Sumerian similarities! Both languages are the only ergative languages in middle east! Now Pars/Fars can steal our words but they can't steal our Grammer too because they don't have the brains for it lol Yes I became racist because I lived amongst Pars, Turkos and Arabs!

[@nole8923]

There’s been much worse that’s happened to other countries even in just the last 100 years. Iraqs biggest challenge right now is getting a competent, responsible, and honest government. Between its oil reserves and potential for archaeological tourism it has a ton of potential. It just needs a good and competent government to tap into this potential.

There’s a huge resource iraq has that it isn’t taking advantage of. If iraq can establish itself as a safe place to visit it can make a ton of money from archaeological tourism. Ancient Sumer, the Akkadian empire, Assyrian and Babylonian empires, etc. And it needs to use its oil revenues to modernize its infrastructure, and educate its people. It has what it needs to become a prosperous modern society. The only thing it seems it’s lacking is competent and honest people running the government. I’d like to visit the archeological sites from thousands of years ago there, but I’m afraid I’ll be kidnapped or something there.

It has just made it onto my bucket list as a place to visit (provided it is possible to get there without a stop-over in the rogue state - I am not totally comfortable with even the thought of just over-flying a place from which the negative energy of 75 years of accumulated bureaucratic evil and psychological violence must so strongly emanate.)
