Below are the latest guru updates from late last night and yesterday...be sure to check them out before you leave...
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru lojak Article quote: "Prime Minister-designate Haider Abadi began talks with the parties of the country's parliament on the formation of a new government." Abadi had the list of his suggested cabinet yesterday, and was already pitching their names in Parliament. He'll be done much sooner than the articles suggest.
8-12-2014 Intel Guru TerryK SO WE HAVE A NEW PM SWORN IN TODAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CARDS ARE BEING PUT OUT TOMORROW...FOOD RATION CARDS. SO HERE IS WHAT I GOT TODAY...WE WILL SEE THIS THURSDAY. I DID NOT GET A RATE. SO LETS ALL KEEP OUR EARS PEALED FOR TOMORROW BUT WORD IS WE WILL SEE IT THURSDAY. THE BLESSING IS UPON US ALL. THIS IS OUR WEEK.
8-12-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 I CAN SAY YES THE WORST IS ABOUT OVER WITH MALIKI. AS I STATED YESTERDAY I EXPECTED ABOUT 3 DAYS BEFORE MALIKI IS GONE OR HE IS ARRESTED AND REMOVED FROM PUBLIC. SEEMS HE IS LEAVING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AND THE NEW PM HAS SAID IN PUBLIC HE WILL FINISH AND PRESENT HIS NEW CABINET WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, NOT THE MONTH HE HAS AVAILABLE. THIS SOUNDS GREAT SO COME ON TURKI GET WITH THE PROGRAM AND TURN OUR MONEY LOOSE. [post 2 of 2]
8-12-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 just received this from a friend...The situation although not completely resolved now looks as if it will be in short order. Maliki's relatives have come out asking him to step down and transfer power to the new government peacefully. Maliki's own legal department that has always done his bidding has now stated they will no longer work for Maliki but instead now work for the new government. The army which was my biggest fear because some were loyal to Maliki, are now on record saying they no longer answer to Maliki but answer to and will protect the new government. Obama came out in total support of the new government warning Maliki to back off and step down. Iran has recognized the new government as has Europe. One by one everyone is acknowledging change is here. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar I was the biggest proponent of an 86 cent dinar on the internet. I have abandoned that number because of things that I have come to realize and things I have found out. So bless all of you for hanging tough. Maliki stood in the way of progress in Iraq and the RV. He is very close to being gone. The people in Iraq are dancing in the streets of Bagdad today chanting Bye Bye Maliki. That's not a fantasy of mine, they really are in the streets chanting Bye Bye Maliki. This is the first time they are in the streets dancing and singing. The second time they [will] do it in a week or two from now, so will you and I. I assure you. [post 3 of 3]
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar It is my belief that as soon as the new government is complete and seated, Turki will do his thing. This is what I believe and has been backed up by intel that concurred my belief. ...I will hang tough on the next statement. The RV will be within three days of the government being seated and it is still $3.71 per dinar. I have come to this number based on 4 or 5 conversations and on experiences I have had over the last three months. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar Today Maliki forced the CBI to wire transfer 328 million dollars. Another sign that he is preparing to leave the country IMO. It is now my opinion that he will run in the next 24 hours. Abadi is pushing to quickly finish building this government. He has stated he will be ready next week with his list of Ministers to take over their new positions. This list will be given to parliament and at that time they will vote to make it a government. The vote will be close or at unanimous because these guys are now for the first time all working from the same page. Even the SOL guys are working in unison with the parliament for the first time. Yesterday Abadi dismissed Maliki's Ministers telling them they are through. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday "Hashemi Iraq seeks to open the horizons of cooperation banking on the Arab and international levels through the establishment of a banking relationship with them..." THEY ARE FINISHING THE LAUNCH OF THE MASTERCARDS AND SMART CARDS TO GO TO INTERNATIONAL AND GLOBAL BANKING...CREDIT CARDS, THE CREDIT AND ATMS AND INTERNET PURCHASES -- THIS CANNOT BE DONE WITH OUT REALITY RATES. CREDIT RATING THEY ARE WORKING ON -- INTERNATIONAL COMPLIANCE COMPLETION AND GOV AND ALSO SWIFT CODES --- AS WE HAVE EXPECTED ALL AT ONCE...THIS IS GREAT...
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar Article quote: "Maliki heads the caretaker government, but the position of the Armed Forces wasting his efforts to block the formation of a new government. Baghdad - apparently increased the isolation of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki former ethnic Tuesday with military leaders pledged allegiance to President Fuad Masum, and respect his decision commissioned Haider Abadi form a new government amid widespread international acceptance." THE BEST ARTICLE OF THE DAY IS THIS. ARMED FORCES PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO NEW GOVERNMENT. This takes the stinger out of Maliki.
8-12-2014 Intel Guru TerryK Article quotes: "Announced the new Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi assigned by the President of the Republic, that the ministerial cab will be ready within the next week." "naming ministers next government will be announced next week, but not accepted for the delay, stressing that the minister will be named on the basis of competence, integrity and history of all people of good candidates. He added, We are keen on the participation of all political forces in the next government in order to build a democratic process sober."
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "Finance Minister agency purity of net debt, balancing the budget in 2014 will switch from anticipatory planning to realistic budget based on real numbers" Budgets based upon "real numbers"...the world at large should wake up and pay attention to this effort...it could be the first of its kind...if I am not mistaken several days ago I saw mixed in a news article that Abadi had been placed in charge of the temporary committee when it was formed back in July to study the budget and bring back possible solutions to Parliament...If that is so...could that have been an early "sign" of things to come in that he would eventually be the Prime Minister and intimately involved in the budgeting process anyway...
8-12-2014 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Everyone - including the formerly "pro-Maliki" SJC has started the process of distancing themselves from him... much of this bluster about lawsuits is just that. [if the seating of the COM doesn't trigger the RV I give up guessing.] it doesn't "have to". [Prob need to implement some laws first?] Not IMHO. IMHO - once Maliki is "gone" - completely, is when our possibilities are more likely.
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels from the language of the constitution, article 76: The Prime Minister-designate shall undertake the naming of the members of his Council of Ministers within a period not to exceed thirty days from the date of his designation.
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday THE PRESIDENT OF IRAQ TOOK A NEW NAME FOR PRIME MINISTER [ABBADI]. HE IS ASKED TO BEGIN FORMING THE NEW GOV RIGHT AWAY. HE CAN FORM IT QUICKLY AND I TELL YOU WHY. THIS MAN HAS BEEN IN THE POLITICAL ARENA FOR A LONG TIME AND IS WELL RESPECTED WITH ALL PARTIES AND HAS GREAT RESPECT FOR THE GOV AND THE LAW -- AND ALSO WAS WITHIN THE FINANCIAL GOV...HE HAS A LONG RESUME'. THIS PM HAS CLAIMED AND SHOWN THAT HE IS ALL FOR THE CITIZENS OF ALL OF IRAQ.
8-11-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 HE NOW HAS 30 DAYS TO FORM HIS NEW GOI PANEL BUT FROM ALL INDICATIONS AT THIS TIME HE WILL MOVE VERY FAST TO COMPLETE THIS STAFF. GUYS HE IS FROM A FINANCIAL POSITION AND HAS BEEN FAMILIAR WITH THE CBI AND TURKI'S NEEDS FOR SOME TIME. HE ACCORDING TO ALL THE NEWS WILL PUSH FINANCE FIRST. I DO NOT THINK THAT TURKI WILL NEED TO WAIT TILL THE ENTIRE GOI IS SET. WHAT HE WILL NEED IS MALIKI OUT OF THE WAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. WATCH THEIR ACTIONS... [post 2 of 2]
8-11-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 I SUSPECT WITHIN A COUPLE THREE DAYS THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE FORCE WILL COME IN AND ARREST MALIKI FOR POLITICAL OBSTRUCTION... JUST WATCH THEIR ACTIONS. THEY HAVE ALREADY ANNOUNCED HE WILL BE CHARGED AS SOON AS HE IS OUT OF POWER. WELL THIS OLD BOY THEY HAVE NOW AS PRIME MINISTER REPLACING MALIKI SHOULD BE GREAT FOR US AND SHOULD ACT FAST TO GET TURKI WHAT HE NEEDS TO GET THE RV RELEASED AND START THE FINANCIAL REFORM THEY DESPERATELY NEED. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-11-2014 Intel Guru Jester WE HAVE THREE DISTINCT TYPES OF SOURCE RIGHT NOW...ONE IS THE UST CONTACTS...THEY CAN BE DIVIDED INTO TWO...DISTINCT TYPES... THE ONES THINKING IT IS RIGHT HERE EVERY DAY OR NIGHT AND THE ONES THAT ARE CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT IT BEING CLOSE... MINE ARE THE LATTER NOT THE FORMER...TWO IS THE OUTSIDERS...THE LEGITIMATE SOURCES WE HAVE IN BANKING AND FOREX AND TRADERS AND SUCH...AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR IT BUT TELLING US THINGS ARE "CLOGGED UP" RIGHT NOW...AND THREE IS THE THREE LETTER GUYS... WE LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN RIGHT A LOT...SO THAT IS HOW WE GET THE INFORMATION IN A NUTSHELL SO TO SPEAK. [post 2 of 2] [See the RV meters on in the Left Dinar Guru Resource Bar]
8-11-2014 Intel Guru Jester THEY HAVE NAMED THE NEW GUYS... AND I GOT INFO FROM SOURCES TODAY THAT BACKS UP HE [MALIKI] IS GONE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER...IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS GOING THE RIGHT DIRECTION... NEXT ON THE LIST WOULD PROBABLY BE THE FORMATION OF THE GOVERNMENT... THEN THEY CAN WORK ON THEIR ISSUES. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "Central bank: we have maintained the stability of the currency despite the instability in the markets" What better lead off story than from the CBI and Governor Turki this morning...he insists that despite the turmoil witnessed in the markets in recent days and the ongoing security issues around the country the CBI has maintained strong stability with the currency at the same time...he says the bank attempts to work equally with private banks and government banks alike...Turki is going a good job of showing strength for the CBI during all the upside down issues that Iraq is experiencing.
8-11-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony Over the weekend, on Saturday, Maliki moved stuff out of his office and started burning documents. Then on Sunday he changed his mind. But things are not as bad as it is portrayed to be. It may sound bad but it is right where we need it to be. We looked at all the news from around the world and we keep seeing "Iraqi crisis" but it's going from crisis to Christmas. I don't expect it to take a long time but I don't expect it to happen in the next hour either. It still could be a tremendous week, month for us. We're in a good place. [post 2 of 2]
8-11-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony [via Duke] The US Admin already made it clear they would back the new president before Sunday. So we knew who the new PM was. Because Iraq is so vital the entire world is taking a strong interest in this. Abadi has good reps and connections with all the sects and this will have a very calming affect throughout the country. [Have they officially sworn in the new PM?] It's in the Gazette and is being shown on CNN and in the US news. We got it from other countries before we heard it here. Yes, it's official. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-11-2014 Intel Guru DC [via Duke] ...this morning they made it official, published it in the Gazette - made it official, that Abadi is the new PM. They have a judiciary ruling so it's unlikely changes will be made. The CBI said "we're good, let's go" and they're ready with a timeline, which we were asked not to share. In summary: everything in Iraq is wonderful. The PM drama has subsided in the past 2 hours, per texts I've been getting. It's becoming more secure and stable by the minute. The new PM has triggered events and we are all extremely optimistic that the timeline is close.
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Doc We do concur with a very few...that the likelihood of a significant RV is virtually zero. All factually information suggest the plan is for appreciation over time as the economy expands. We still have not ruled out an initial small RV but it is very obvious the plan for major currency valuation increase is from gradual appreciation. Unfortunately none of this is likely in the near to mid term with stability in the country. We report, you decide. [post 2 of 2]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Doc To speculate who will be PM at this point is a frustrating exercise. Rumors are all over the map and as we've repeatedly said we do not promote rumors. The key is actually very simple. What we want is the new PM/GOI to bring a sense of stability to the country. And we believe this will only happen if the GOI strikes an inclusive balance between the blocs. If it doesn't civil war may rage on for some time now. The reality of the situation is the currency will be pressured to move not in our favor as long as this situation exists. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday Report quote: "al-Sadr congratulated Abadi for assignment formation of the government and discussed with him the political benefits to come." AS WE SEE -- HAIDER AL-ABADI IS FORMING THE NEW GOV...HE HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE POSITION OF PM AT THIS POINT ... HE IS NOT SWORN IN SO FAR AS I CAN SEE... HE IS DESIGNATED TO BE PM. --- BUT THE GOV IS TO BE FORMED BY HIM...IF HE FAILS TO START WORKING WHICH IS VERY DOUBTED BY ALL -- HE WILL BE REPLACED WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS. HUGE NEWS. THIS WILL MOVE FORWARD TO BE STABILITY QUICKLY. THE UN IS HAPPY AND STATING THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE HIS JOB IN NAMING WHO IS TO FORM THE NEXT GOV.
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar Turki put the following article out this morning saying the dinar is stable and has been unaffected throughout this process of government change, one of the two requirements for monetary change the other being the government issue "settled". The laws pertaining to money laundering are in place and the banking system is complying to international banking laws. Through this article and his statements, he is implying that Iraq is ready for a monetary change. Article: "Governor of the Central Bank and the Agency Abdul Basit Turki 08/11/2014 14:50 Tomorrow's Press / Baghdad: Student Central Bank of Iraq, Monday, private banks and financial trading companies to adopt mechanisms to the financial statements in accordance with the international regulations accredited." [post 2 of 2]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar Iraq is in compliance with IMF's article VIII international currency rules which means they are ready to go international with their currency. The WTO says that Iraq has met all regulations to become a full member and is just waiting on the WTO to stamp their certificate of ascension (I believe they are doing what the WTO said they would do in 2009 and that is the minute Iraq goes international with their currency and gives it value, they will get that stamp). [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-11-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 JUST GOT ANOTHER TEXT SAYING TURKI WILL REMAIN AT LEAST FOR A TRANSITION PERIOD OF THE NEW GOI, SO THAT SOUNDS VERY GOOD. WE KNOW HE HAS WANTED TO RESIGN FOR SOME TIME AND TRIED UNDER MALIKI BUT THAT WAS BECAUSE OF DISAGREEMENT WITH THE POSITION MALIKI KEPT PUTTING HIM IN. THIS IS SOUNDING VERY PROMISING. WE CAN SEE FOR SURE THOUGH THEY ARE NOT STATUS QUO THEY ARE IN A URGENT MOVE FORWARD MODE. WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NEW PM WE HAVE NOW INCREASED OUR POSSIBILITY OF THE RV BY 50% OR BETTER AT ANYTIME NOW.
8-11-2014 Intel Guru Bluwolf Listen up, Iraqs distress is because of the new PM being announced. US military are in place to assure that everything transpires accordingly to democratically elected law. Once it is evidently acknowledge through there Gazette (and it has) your rv is your new reality. We are all ready, everything will go silent in a heartbeat, expect your blessings now.
8-11-2014 Intel Guru SteveI I have every reason to believe my sources that is telling me that former Prime Minister Maliki is now officially history. Yes will continue to rattle some cages, but nothing will become of it. I hope now focuses on his exit plans vs. his continued third term. I do believe it he stays and causes trouble, he will be arrested pursuant to the current charges against him in the International Courts. Our day is almost here. Now the next focus will be the rest of the laws including the budget. Bright days ahead for all of us.
8-11-2014 Intel Guru Mnt Goat So today’s news is all very, very good news as it went from very bad to very good in a couple of days once again. So the clock stops ticking and the new PM was announced today on Monday. Ibrahim al-Jaafari said today in a statement that the alliance of Shiite political parties has agreed to nominate Haider al-Ibadi to replace Maliki and to form a new government. He is also voted in by parliament and accepted by the majority. He has not however taken his oath of office yet to begin his job. Since the PM is now selected (the third of the three presidents) we wait for the oath of office to be administered and the public announcement. This will be our sign that the RV is just around the corner. I want to emphasize once again this final announcement of the IQD going international will not happen until the USA feels the Iraq government is stable, non-sectarian and is a functional government.
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru lojak Its getting more "official" by the minute! Quotes: "Jaafari's office: infallible Abadi officially commissioned and convey it in a press conference" "Nominated and the Iraqi National Alliance, earlier in the day Monday, first deputy chairman of the Council of Representatives Haider Abadi for prime minister, a majority of 127 deputies." For over a month, it has been blatantly clear in articles that he [Maliki] was going to leave. I think he may now just move on fairly quickly. With the Supreme Court ruling against him today...he is totally without recourse. he is still PM of the caretaker govt until they vote in Abadi...according to a phone call I just got. the state dept has already met with Jabouri and Masaoum and is pushing hard to get this to Parl at the earliest moment.
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru tman23 Isn't all the news just GRAND! A COUP...NO COUP...IN, OUT, UP, DOWN...A negative following every positive...Misinformation is abundant. But official reports now say Adadi is the name...There will be no constitutional legal arguments that have any merit, not with the US, Britain, France, and Japan overseeing the finer details.
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels Quote: "Haydar al-Abbadi is a former finance minister who is well liked by groups outside the Daawa and State of Law, who elected him as deputy speaker for the new parliament earlier. He will now have 30 days to present his cabinet for approval by the Iraqi parliament with an absolute majority." [post 2 of 2]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels Quote: "Haydar al-Abbadi Is the New Iraq PM Candidate Posted by Reidar Visser on Monday, 11 August 2014 13:48...Today, what remains of the pan-Shiite National Alliance formally presented Haydar al-Abbadi of the Daawa party as their PM candidate. Abbadi will be charged by President Fuad Masum to replace the current PM, Nuri al-Maliki." Let's revel for a moment in the prospect of peace and harmony in Iraq. [So this new guy might be supportive of RV being former finance minister?] Godspeed the completion of the Iraqi banking sector reform project! Come "RV"! [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday I WOULD SAY THAT THE ISSUE UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW WILL BE RESOLVED...SPECIAL FORCES WOULD RESOLVE THIS VERY QUICKLY. SO KNOW THAT THIS WILL NOT BE AN ON GOING EVENT BY ANY MEANS. [if the US decides to stay in Iraq will they have to stay at the imposed rate? or can they still RV?] THEY ARE WORKING ON THE REFORMS SEPARATELY FROM THE SECURITY ISSUES --- THEY CAN STILL MOVE FORWARD AS WE SEE THE PROGRESS THEY ARE DOING NOW. [Do we need the Budget passed for the RV? Or no?] NOT IN MY OPINION. [post 2 of 2]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday MALIKI IS SAYING THAT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NAMED THE PM AND THAT THE PRESIDENT WENT AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION BUT EVERYONE ELSE IS DISAGREEING - INCLUDING THE US...HE IS TRYING TO MAKE THE POINT THAT THE ATTACKS WILL GET WORSE DUE TO HIM NOT BEING PUT IN AS PM. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO SERVE THE 3RD TERM -- HE IS THERE UNTIL THE NEW PM IS PLACED. WHAT MALIKI AND HIS FRIENDS ARE DOING IS ILLEGAL -- HE IS NOT ABLE TO CONSPIRE WITH THUGS AND HOLD PEOPLE AT GUN POINT OF THE IRAQI GOV AND THREATEN OR SCARE OR PLACE TERRORISTIC THREATS...
