2) Next it tells us they are aware and will work on the “stalled” and long “delayed” legislation in parliament.

3) then it tells us Abadi’s cabinet reshuffle will be completed (new ministers assigned) within a week

Their words not mine…lol…lol…No secret intel here from some secret sources…lol…lol….

I quote from the article below – “that would follow up the implementation of the reform measures and alterations ministerial week and activate the work of the Supreme Council for the fight against corruption and speed up the resolution of independent bodies”

I quote again from the article below – “for the work of the House of Representatives on the completion of stalled and delayed the legislation of laws”

I quote again from the article below –“follow up the ministerial reforms and adjustment in a week”

Why is this all such VERY GOOD news to us for this RV saga?

Because we all know these are the three main areas of concern (besides ridding Iraq of ISIS and Iranian Kud forces and militia influence) that must be accomplished prior to any RV. WOW!

But, if this is not good enough, yesterday Iraq came out with a commentary once again about these currency auctions and how they will bankrupt Iraq if they continue. So we know why these auctions are held as I explained them to you in previous news letters (go back and reread them if you don’t understand). They are being held because Iraq is in a ‘Closed” economy and to pay for imports, the banks must go to the CBI, get US dollars for their banks to exchange with the merchants for dinars to they can pay the importers for the goods and services. The process is the auctions.

But problem is they overpay dinars for these US dollars and the dollars come out of the CBI reserves. Do you see the corruption? If this continues much longer the reserves will be depleted. With the financial crisis the CBI reserves are not being replenished at the rate necessary to sustain this process. Instead the CBI collects almost worthless dinars in the process. No country’s wealth is stored in reserves using their own currency.

So the only practical way out of this mess is to restore the Iraqi dinar back to it’s original value, place it on the global exchanges (thus RV and going international) and use the dinar to pay for imports. (As a side note – we go to the bank and exchange our dinars when they do).

So why won’t the CBI just do it? CORRUPTION – just too many people making billions over the currency auction process and they are raiding the coffers of the CBI reserves.

You can see it, the good guys see it and so when will it end? What are they waiting for?

We know what they are waiting for! I have told you many times already.

The IMF simply will not allow them to RV (go global) until all these other pieces are done. It is a catch 22 situation, dilemma for the good guys, like Abadi, who is trying to make a difference. But the mess is so large to untangle and fix.

I have explained many times to you what these piece are. I certainly hope you now understand their predicament. YES- it is a predicament since they too want to RV but the stalled legislation, ISIS, and the backwards banking practices are delaying the plan.

So we also see a recent cut back in the amount of US dollars sold in the auctions and of course, as expected, it is causing liquidity problems in the banks once again. Many article yesterday on this topic.

Folks I just have to tell you again – The only way out of this vicious cycle of corruption it to go global with the dinar by moving Iraq into Article 8 as a member nation of the UN. They must STOP the auctions!

So this process of currency auctions can not continue much longer and they know it! What will they do? It is part of the solution to their economic crisis. But Abadi did tell us that some “major economic changes are coming soon”. Does he first want to complete the reshuffle of his cabinet, then he can get the necessary reform laws passed, then he can force the judiciary to do their job, then we can RV?

The article is very long and I did not include the entire article today but here is the essence of it for you below.

I quote from the article by one of the economists –

“Said David Zayer told all of Iraq that ” the decline in central bank sales, confirms that its reserve is unable to secure the required in the market , ” pointing out that ” the political misconceptions followed by the central bank will push Iraq into bankruptcy.”

“He pointed out that “there is a process looting systematic bankruptcy Iraq from its reserve of hard currency , “stressing that” the central bank assumes this responsibility. ”

“and labeled a member of the parliamentary finance committee Majida al – Tamimi, the Iraqi Central Bank ‘s policy in the auction to sell the currency as “serving the corrupt.”

I like these articles below because they are telling us the main concern of the GOI is fighting terrorism in all avenues including the ISIS and DAASH threat as well as Iranian influence. They did not come right out and say “Iranian” but if you read between the lines is all there.

Making the ministerial changes too are important, as Abadi and Allawi says, but lets not forget there is still a way going on with ISIS.

I quote from the article below – “during a meeting with Chairman of the National Coalition , Iyad Allawi, support reform and the importance of walking him and the fight against corruption and support the government and the victories of our security forces to the terrorist gangs and protect state institutions as well as the deepening of relations with the regions.”

Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe it is the chairman of the National Coalition , Iyad Allawi, who is pushing in the background for the reforms? Maybe it’s Allawi who is working through the religious clerics to put pressure on the GOI to move forward more rapidly on these reforms. This is all very good for us.

Update: Ongoing Fight Against Corruption

Many of you have said to me that not enough is being done in Iraq to punish these corrupt officials for their crimes. I agree but a lot has been done too. What we really need now is for the highest gov’t officials like Maliki and his gang to have the judiciary open their files and set trials for all their crimes. We need them out of politics completely.

Why won’t they just prosecute them?
If you have been following my news letters all along you should know why. I told you some more news on this topic today. I also told you there is a coming wave that will sweep them out of politics forever. Just give the process time to work it self through. There is a plan. Let’s watch it all play out.

Isn’t this saga all very interesting to watch unfold?

Update: Fighting ISIS

I do not like the second article below on commentary from a group of Iraqi “volunteer forces” who “ have called on the US marines, recently deployed to the country under the pretext of fighting Daesh, to leave or they will be treated as “forces of occupation.” Really?

Sorry Maliki we don’t buy your propaganda as this article as it is one to be ignored. We all know first of all the USA military has been asked to come to Iraq. They are being given support by the government and made deals to help in fighting ISIS. The USA does not want to occupy Iraq nor does it want to be there. Who else is going to protect Iraq and remain neutral? Will you let the Iranian Kud forces do it? Will you let the Russians or Turkey do it? The USA really is the only driving force of neutrality in this fight against ISIS. I thank God everyday that the USA has the will power to still return to Iraq.

IRAQ’S VOLUNTEER FORCES SAY US MARINES MUST LEAVE

Tue Mar 22, 2016

A group of Iraqi volunteer forces have called on the US marines, recently deployed to the country under the pretext of fighting Daesh, to leave or they will be treated as “forces of occupation.”

Washington announced Sunday that a detachment of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, an air-ground force of 2,200 troopers, had arrived in Iraq to join the fight against the Takfiri Daesh terrorists.

“The forces of occupation are making a new suspicious attempt to restore their presence in the country under the pretext of fighting their own creation, Daesh,” Iraqi Asa’ib Al al-Haq forces said Tuesday.

US officials did not disclose the exact number of the marines that were dispatched to the Arab country.

Pentagon says there are about 3,500 American forces stationed in Iraq, a figure that according to US Army Colonel Steve Warren, stationed in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, is an underestimation.

In late February, a US official said that the US army’s elite Delta Force units were preparing for operations to target, detain or kill what is said to be the main Daesh operators in Iraq.

On Saturday the US Defense Department acknowledged the death of an American service member in Iraq’s northern region, where American forces are leading air strikes against alleged Daesh positions as part of a US-led military campaign in Iraq and Syria.

Iraq has on several occasions complained about the ineffectiveness of the aerial campaign launched by the US and its allies since June 2014.

Iraqis say a significant number of attacks have been carried out without coordination with Baghdad, increasing the likelihood of the coalition fighter jets targeting Iraqi civilians and military forces.

In mid-December last year, several Iraqi soldiers were either killed or injured by a US airstrike as they were advancing on the positions of the terrorists near Amriyat al-Fallujah, west of Baghdad.

Syria has also submitted complaint letters to the United Nations, accusing the US-led forces of huge damages to the country’s infrastructure and leaving behind many civilian casualties.

The US began withdrawing its troops from Iraq in 2007 and allegedly completed the process in 2011, eight years into a chaotic invasion of the country under the false pretext of finding weapons of mass destruction.

It does not matter what religion you believe, if you pray then to your oven beliefs entity it is still the same powers and good for all of mankind. Ultimately it is all the same God anyhow.

“Lord, protect Abadi and all who stand with him in righteousness, the Iraq and coalition soldiers who are fighting the good fight against terrorism, that they would be shielded from the enemy and would be victorious against them in the battle for Mosul! We ask that the victory comes swiftly and healing of the Iraqi peoples and all whom have been effected by these evil doers can begin!
