Er... You are aware that list shows Iran is a member of the IMF? It has actually been a member, virtually since it was founded in 1945.

But, hey - 67% is still a passing grade for accuracy.

Edit. Though I should deduct marks for Libya which has been in the IMF since 1958, hardly the "3 years" claimed.

Good point. So, I guess we should research who runs their (respective) central banks?

Yeah, rather more research would seem to be required.

It's just my opinion but I think Iran will eventually step in line along with Cuba. They might not like it but they know the score and they are finally getting to where they can reassert their power in the Middle East and I think they'll take that as a trade-off for shutting the fuck up and doing as their told.

North Korea... I think they only thing keeping them off the global central bank game for the moment is they are a useful lever for China against the West. For the moment it suits the bankers in their geopolitical games but they'll flip the lid there too by whatever means necessary once they are no longer useful in that capacity.

Although Syria has a "Central Bank," it is stated-owned.
