7-31-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday NOW ON THE WTO SITE IRAQ IS LISTED AS WORKING TOWARD ACCESSION. THEY ARE PART OF THE COUNTRY LIST. I READ THAT THEY ARE HOPING TO NOT WAIT THE ENTIRE 30 DAYS BECAUSE OF THE PRODUCT ANALYSIS THAT GOES ON WHEN PRODUCTS ARE FOR WTO CONTRACTS AMONG OTHER REASONS. I AM WORKING ON FINDING OUT IF THEY ARE COMPLETELY DONE WITH ALL REQUIREMENTS OR NOT -- IT SAYS COMPLETE AND I HAVE TO SAY IT LOOKS EXCITING. [post 2 of 2]
7-31-2014 Newshound Guru Stryker BREAKING NEWS... WTO. IRAQ IS ARTICLE VIII COMPLIANT MEANING THE IRAQI DINAR CAN BE TRADED INTERNATIONALLY. ...the WTO Agreement states that accession to the WTO will be “on terms to be agreed” between the acceding government and the WTO. Accession to the WTO is essentially a process of negotiation — quite different from the process of accession to other international entities, like the IMF, which is largely an automatic process. ACCORDING TO THIS RESEARCH IRAQ IS COMPLETELY READ FOR FULL ACCESSION INTO THE WTO...ONE LAST REVISION AND THEY ARE DONE WE/THEY ARE JUST ABOUT THERE!!!
7-31-2014 Intel Guru WILDDUCK [I hope I wake up to an RV.] GCR [GLOBAL CURRENCY RESET]. RV BEEN DONE, GCR IS WHATS COMING. IT HAS TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER. IMO CAN NOT KEEP THE DRIFT UP IN IRAQ FOREVER.
7-31-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday WE WERE FOLLOWING ALL THE DATES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS OF THE ENTRY OF THE WTO... THEY HAVE WORKED HARD AND HAVE STATED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THAT THEY WERE WORKING TOWARD ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP. THE LAST THING WE HAVE SEEN IS THE MOVE TO A FREE MARKET ECONOMY IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND THAT IS THE MOVE TO ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP TO THE WTO --- IT WAS JUST A COUPLE DAYS AGO.

7-31-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar the NA will not allow through vote, for Maliki to be named the nominee. The coalition will have their candidate and the SOL will have their candidate and then the NA will have their vote. The winner of that vote, either Chalabi or Mahdi will be the NA nominee they will take to the floor of parliament as the Shia nominee for PM. The coalition has decided on their candidate and I believe the SOL has decided on their candidate, Sharistani. The NA will vote in the next two days, maybe even tomorrow. The Shia nominee either Chalabi or Mahdi will be ready the same day he is brought to parliament to announce his government having chosen the minsters in advance. This should be over next week as to the government being formed. I am sure of that.
7-31-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 LOTS OF THINGS HAPPENING IN IRAQ. THEY ARE STILL IN THE FEASTING AND GIVING STAGE TODAY TILL MIDNIGHT AND WE SHOULD HEAR MUCH MORE NEWS TOMORROW. MEETINGS STILL HAPPENING EVEN IN THIS STAGE OF THE END OF RAMADON CELEBRATION. PEOPLE ARE ENCOURAGED IN BAGDAD AND THEY ARE ALL REJOICING THAT MALIKI HAS RESIGNED. WE ARE IN GOOD PLACE AND...MY ATTENTION HAS TURNED TO MR. TURKI. THEY HAVE BEEN IN A VERY URGENT HURRY FOR OVER A MONTH AND NOTHING AT ALL SAYS THAT HAS CHANGED.
7-31-2014 Newshound Guru Stryker "The National Coalition also nominated Ibrahim al-Jaafari and Adel Abdul Mahdi and Ahmed Chalabi for prime minister on the one hand and the state of law and nominated Khodair al Hussein al-Shahristani, on the other hand." ... that sure looks like Maliki is out. But like I said, he aint going to go away easy...and some gurus are saying he will be forming a new government after the Eid al-Fitr...that ends tonight... Some are still saying that Iraqi TV is showing Maliki resigning but there is nothing in the news about it today officially and my people say that it's not true, yet. But there is some great news about the Budget being ready for Parliament and other encouraging news...
7-31-2014 Newshound/Intel Guru Randy Koonce The reason we get away from dates and just look for the event is since this is a multi headed snake you have different factions controlling the RV and GOI at any given time... Right now we know IRAQ is READY to show the GOI but why has it not shown...the US is who Iraq is waiting on to give the ok to finish... Question 4 will the fighting stop the RV? It has nothing to do with RV...the money was only an issue if the US had troops that the militants could use the money to buy weapons against them. OVER the weekend until Tues seems to be the time to look for the GOI to be done...we are close...do not pay attention to anything other than the formation of the GOI after that we will be done. [post 2 of 2]
7-31-2014 Newshound/Intel Guru Randy Koonce ...we are coming to an end now with the GOI getting formed...That is why we do not look at dates and particular days. Question 1. is Maliki Out? Unless Maliki can find a miracle to happen he will not be able to form the largest Block...His own Party will not put him up now as the candidate...So Maliki is OUT. Question 2. who will be the PM? it will either be Chalibi or Madhi either one for us is fine...we should know for sure in about a day...Right now it is Madhi. Question 3. could it take longer for the PM to be seating? Yes...but we do not think so if you listen to all the news the GOI will be formed by the first... that has been moved right now any time to get formed... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
7-31-2014 Intel Guru Okie_Oil_Man AS OF THIS AFTERNOON I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING NOTHING BUT PROGRESSIVE, POSITIVE NEWS RELEVANT TO COMPLETION OF THIS LONG JOURNEY WE HAVE BEEN ON. IF ALL GOES ACCORDING TO SOURCES WE ARE REALLY AT THE END OF THE TRAIL. I CAN NOT BE EXPLICIT BECAUSE OF PRIOR AGREEMENT'S THAT PRECLUDE ME FROM GIVING SPECIFIC'S. JUST KNOW THAT "THE PLAN" HAS AND IS BEING FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER OF THE LAW. WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING ANY PROLONGED WAITING PERIOD FROM THIS POINT FORWARD. JUST FOLLOW THE BOUNCING BALL AND SING ALONG WITH ME-- "WE'RE IN THE MONEY-WE'RE IN THE MONEY. ---FINAL POSTING SHOULD OCCUR SOON.
7-31-2014 Intel Guru Frank26 Article quote: "discussions are ongoing between state law and the political blocs to agree asking Maliki to form the next government," noting that "there will get a surprise in the next few days." IMO, Sunday will SHOW us MANY MANY things. NOT an IR [International Rate] ...The Substrate of it ...Upon which the IR will act.
7-31-2014 Intel Guru SteveI Article quote: "Wednesday that the Parliament sent a modified version of the budget bill to the federal government for approval and then approval in the House of Representatives" Awesome. This is what I have been looking and waiting for. [ Is there a chance that when the budget is released officially, the rate will remain the same?] Well of course there is that chance, however, all of the momentary reform that has taken place would sure lead me not to believe that to be so...we believe in now and what is waiting for us in the release and approval of the budget. That is a rate greater much greater than the current. [Do you think it's really going to happen this time around?] Yes I do. There is every indication that we are on track this time. The need for money is the key and they need it fast, so yes, we are at the end finally. The PM does not have to be named for this to happen, but the budget and HCL does.
7-31-2014 Intel Guru Mnt Goat Ramadan is now officially over. Eid al-Fitr the last day of Ramadan, a festive day and so it too is also over. Will Iraq now finally complete the formation of their new government? There is one last step to complete it and that is to announce the prime minister. I was told they will complete the new government within days if not hours after the holiday. There are many that say they want to roll this RV out by end of July. I too believe this is true. It has been stated many times since January that this is a target in many articles. I have not heard Iraq say it will be delayed. Can they do it? They seemed to have missed most deadlines/targets in the past and always find a way to deal with the consequences. I am optimistic they will complete it this time.
7-31-2014 Intel Guru TerryK ARE WE READY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. GETTING WORD WE ARE WITHIN THAT 72 HOUR WINDOW AGAIN.
7-31-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 LIKE I HAVE SAID FOR DAYS ALL IS WELL, JUST LET IT HAPPEN. AGAIN I AM EXCITED AT ALL OUR POSSIBILITIES AND THEY HAVE URGENCY TO COMPLETE IT...
7-31-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday REMEMBER THAT THE RESERVES IN IRAQ ARE NOT BEING TOUCHED AND ARE PART OF WHAT BACKS THEIR DINAR --- THE MONEY FOR THE BUDGET COMES FROM CONTRACTS AND TRADE THAT THEY ARE TAKING PART IN. AS SOON AS THEY ARE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AND CBI HAS A BUDGET THAT THEY CAN USE TO TRANSFER MONEY TO WHERE IT GOES. [post 2 of 2]
7-31-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday "...the Parliament sent a modified version of the budget bill to the federal government for approval and then approval in the House of Representatives...the government will send this copy to Parliament early next week to be approved." SO WHAT WE HAVE IS AMENDED BUDGET TO THE TABLE OF THE GOV AND THEN TO PARLIAMENT TO AGREE ON THE CHANGES THAT HAVE OCCURRED. SO THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK IT SHOULD BE BEFORE PARLIAMENT. THIS IS A HUGE WHOPPER AND FAST FAST FAST AND THE WAY THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING -- IT SHOULD COME RIGHT OUT A LAUNDRY SHOOT. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
7-31-2014 Intel Guru Delta [You don't think Maliki, if Iraqi T.V. is accurate about is Presidency, will play the same game he did before proxying himself with all the positions like security etc. and prolonging the formation of the gov't?] YOU ARE MISSING A BIG POINT. LAST ELECTION WAS HARD CUZ ALAWI WAS VERY CLOSE IN VOTES TO MALIKI THAT'S WHY IT WAS A PROBLEM AT THAT TIME, BUT THIS ELECTION STATE LAW HAS 103 SEATS AND THAT'S MAKE THEM THE LARGEST GROUP, THE NEXT WINNER HAS ONLY 30 SEATS. THE IRAQI COURT ANNOUNCED THAT STATE LAW IS THE LARGEST GROUP. SO THEIR LEADER WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO FORM THE GOV . [Well lets say that Maliki is the PM. It isnt much of a unity govt if StateLaw has both the PM and the 1st Deputy of Parliament. They have gained power- not given it up.] BINGO...... BIG POWER FOR STATE LAW. LAWS WILL GET PASS VERY FAST.
7-31-2014 Intel Guru Mnt Goat Today [Wednesday] Iraq parliament sent a modified version of the 2014 budget bill from the committee to the federal government for approval. Next it was sent to the House of Representatives for approval. So today the really good news is the budget approval has happened in parliament after the members agreeing on all points. Folks we had a passing of the budget for the year 2014. Finally! Do you remember that I...told you that the RV is not dependent on the budget being passed but the budget needs the RV prior to opening it and spending it. I said that when we see the budget passed, the RV will come very soon afterwards, if not just before. We are soooo close to an RV! [post 2 of 2]
7-31-2014 Intel Guru Mnt Goat Today the MP for the Liberal bloc, Riad al-Saadi indicated that the National Alliance has five candidates for the post of prime minister while noting that the outgoing Prime Minister, Nuri al-Maliki, withdrew his candidacy for the post because of political pressure. So after talking to many of my sources I have come to the conclusion that in fact he would still like to have a 3rd term, if possible, but under political pressure he did finally withdrew his candidacy early today [Wednesday]. I still believe that they will take the final vote prior to Aug 5th and they will seat and announce their new prime minister to the world. It could literally happen any day...

7-31-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [you have said in the pass that the CBI is the only one that can rv. Cbi has stated that despite all the problems that IRAQI has that the dinar is still strong. So can't the CBI rv without parliament or a pm?] Absolutely. [With Ramadon almost over, do you believe we will start to see a lot of activity leading to an R/V?] August is going to be an exciting month.
7-29-2014 Intel Guru TerryK ITS HERE... NO STOPPING IT... THE PM HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED IN IRAQ JUST NOT IN PUBLIC. WE ARE TO SEE THIS ACCORDING TO SOURCES WITHIN THE NEXT 72 HOURS AND FOCUSED ON THURSDAY NIGHT PROVIDING NOTHING GOES WRONG. ADDITIONAL BONDS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE TRUSTS THAT WILL ALSO BRING IN THE NEW GOLD STANDARD AND THE RV. WHAT IM BEING TOLD IS A COURIER IS ON ITS WAY TO THE USA TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. AGAIN REMEMBER WE WENT THRU THIS MONTHS AGO SO TREAT ALL AS RUMOR.
7-29-2014 Newshound Guru Mailman17 THE DISSENSION WITHIN THE RANKS OF THE SOL IS A LONG TIME COMING. THEY HAVE FINALLY REALIZED ITS BETTER TO DISSENT THAN TO BACK A DEAD HORSE (MALIKI) IF THEY INTEND TO HOLD ANY KIND OF POWER POSITION WITHIN THE NEW GOI. MALIKI HAS HELD IRAQ TO A NO WIN SCENARIO AS LONG AS HE WAS IN POWER AND HE USED THAT POWER TO HIS UTMOST ABILITY... THOSE DAYS ARE OVER. THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ WILL GET WHAT THEY HAVE JUSTLY DESERVED FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS...AND WE ALL WILL BE A PART OF IT AND REWARDED ACCORDINGLY. THE MANY RANK AND FILE SOL WILL GIVE THE NA THE LIFT THEY NEED AND THEY TOO WILL BE REWARDED. THE NEW IRAQ IS COMING...
7-29-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday IT IS SO EXCITING...THE MANY THINGS WE HAVE SEEN RECENTLY AND THE CALL FOR THE ENTIRE BANKING REFORM ACTIVATION AND THE LAUNCH OF INDUSTRY ALONG WITH THE REASONING OF THE RETURN OF THE KURD OIL BEING FOR THE SFA -- THE AMNESTY BEING DONE AS WE HAVE STATED AND OF COURSE THE VERY COOL NEWS ON THE HCL -- IS NOTHING SHORT OF EXCITING TO SAY THE LEAST.
7-29-2014 Newshound Guru Stryker Ramadan was officially over yesterday (July 28th) and the celebration known as Eid al-Fitr started last night and will end on Thursday the 31st of July. I am telling you this so everyone knows that the State Law of Coalition (Maliki's Party) has given the National Alliance until the end of the holiday to name their nominee for Prime Minister or they will be named the largest bloc, according to them. QUOTE: "State of Law bloc is the largest number in the event of the failure of the National Alliance to a final agreement after the holiday on a candidate for prime minister" Maliki did sign the National Alliance document declaring them as the largest bloc. QUOTE: "President of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq Ammar al-Hakim and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and a number of leaders of the blocks of the National Alliance and was al-Jaafari read the statement, which was agreed upon The announcement was that the National Alliance is the biggest bloc."

7-29-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 REMEMBER THAT KUWAIT RV'ED IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS AFTER THEIR INVASION AND THE REASON THEY WERE MUCH FASTER THAN IRAQ IS BECAUSE THEY STILL HAD A FUNCTIONING GOI AFTER THE WAR AND IRAQ HAD ZIP THEY HAVE HAD TO START FROM SCRATCH. WE ARE IN AWESOME POSITION AND THIS SHOWS THEY HAVE PLENTY TO RV AT 3 PLUS DOLLARS AND PAY YOU AND I. ANNOUNCEMENT OF PM AND SEATED GOI...FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE RV CAN BE ANNOUNCED AT ANY MOMENT FORWARD. I EXPECT TO HEAR THE PM ANNOUNCEMENT WITHIN THE NEXT 5 DAYS. MY OPINION ONLY.
7-29-2014 Intel Guru Freeway Bill I am coming to you in what may very well be the last time (we pray) so I have to make it count...The news you are hearing are half truths! The movement you are reading about are half truths! But, do you really think anyone knows enough to lay 100% truth on you? The great thing is that there is enough truth in what you are hearing and reading to be very excited about the progress that has been made in the past few months and KNOW that you are closer to the day you have been waiting on now than ever before IMHO! The RATES don't matter! I promise you it will be enough to curl your hair....(for those that have any). No INTEL here, NO HOPIUM! Just ingredients that based on what I know to be true and mix that with what COULD be true tells me to look toward the heavens and be encouraged...
7-29-2014 Newshound Guru Mailman17 THE NEW PM MOST LIKELY HAS THE NAMES OF HIS CABINET ALREADY PICKED AND JUST NEEDS TO GET THEM IN...THEN THE CBI WILL ACT. AND THAT VERY WELL CAN HAPPEN AS SOON AS HE IS SWORN IN, THE REVAL ALONG WITH INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING OIL REVENUE BACK TO THE PEOPLE IS BUILT INTO THE BUDGET. THE NEWLY RATIFIED AND ADJUSTED BUDGET MUST BE IN PLACE FOR THE NEW MINISTERS TO ACT ACCORDINGLY WITHIN THEIR OWN AREA. LOOK FOR THE BUDGET TO BE ACTIVATED AND VOTED IN RIGHT AFTER THE NEW PM AND HIS MINISTERS. AND THAT COULD ONLY BE A FEW DAYS BECAUSE MALIKI WILL BE A FORGONE CONCLUSION. JMO [post 2 of 2]
7-29-2014 Newshound Guru Mailman17 AS MUCH AS I BELIEVE THE CBI IS INDEED READY TO RELEASE THE RATE, THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE MENTALITY EVEN GOING BACK TO SHABS, THAT THEY WILL RELEASE IT WHEN A FULLY FUNCTIONING GOVT IS FORMED.

7-29-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar I have stated that I thought this would be over by the end of July and have continued to think that up until very recently. The decisive factor IMO is the government being put together and it becomes really obvious that Maliki is not a part of and the coalition won. It continues to amaze me that the SOL has not broke with Maliki choosing to destroy their own party. Anyway if you will allow me I would like to change my prediction to within days of the parliament nominating a prime minister which means it could take another week...once we see a nominee announced in parliament, my guess is that starts the clock.
7-29-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels ...my sense is that the judiciary has spoken and the same decision that put Maliki in office in 2010 may put him out in 2014, a great irony.
7-28-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar The point I am making is what's changed from 2008 when it was determined back then the currency was worth 88 cents per dinar and the plan was to RV the currency per Shabibi according to the strategic study? I will tell you. Assets, and more assets, and some additional assets. Added altogether and if it were ever to be published on their...website, it is: 100 billion in foreign currency reserves, 120 tons of gold 82 billion released early last Oct-Nov which I think because Maliki had stated he was going to get the money, Turki deposited in BIS, and the additional 180 billion the US just stated was being released in the US of property, financial instruments, bank accounts and DFI funds. Somebody please tell me again how is it that a country that is this wealthy cannot RV their currency? Remember their neighbor next store Kuwait, has less the 40 billion in their reserves and only produces 1.5 mbpd (the same as Iraq back in 2008) and has a currency worth $3.48 USD per dinar? [post 2 of 2]
7-28-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar I hate to keep quoting the 2008 strategic study commissioned by the CBI but it concluded that far back that Iraq with its resources in 2008 could support 1.13 dinars to 1 USD. The reserves were sitting at around 30 billion at the time (not the 100 billion they are today), and they were producing 1.5 mbpd (not the 4 mbpd they are today). No gold had been discovered as of yet and the CBI did not own any gold then (certainly not the 120 tons as it does today. Their was no relationship with BIS with deposits in the billions being made into BIS, and they did not have the other assets reported to be 180 billion which includes the DFI had not been released and earmarked for the CBI due to the fact THEY HAVE BEEN RELEASED FROM CHAPTER VII.

7-28-201 Intel Guru TerryK ALL I’M GOING TO SAY IS ARE YOU READY...REALLY ARE YOU READY...READY FOR THE RV. GET YOUR BAGS PACKED. GET YOUR SHOES ON. ITS A COMING MY SOURCES ARE GOING NUTS. THEY ARE ALL SAYING THE BLESSING IS UPON US.
7-28-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday IT WOULD MAKE NO SENSE TO HAVE GLOBAL BANKING WITH MASTERCARD WITH NO REALITY RATE IN PLACE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT BE COMPETITIVE OR MAKE IT IN THE MARKET FOR IRAQ --- THEY HAVE BROUGHT IN MASTERCARD AND AFTER THE FEAST THEY WILL BE USING THE PAYMENT CARDS FOR CITIZENS.
7-28-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar It is amazing to what lengths these guys will try to go to. Their new battle plan is to say now that the document they signed along with Maliki saying the NA is the largest block, is a forged document. I think the document they all signed stating the NA is the largest block was most likely signed a while back at least a month ago. At the time it probably meant nothing to the SOL or Maliki because they figured that having 95 MP'S they controlled the NA anyway so there was no reason not to sign it...They never dreamed that this document took total control out of their hands and would be used against them and essentially turned the tide. This document has turned out to be the crux of their downfall. Now that's what I call crossing the T's and dotting the I's and great foresight. Last night was their 28th and Wednesday our day is the day after their 3rd night? EID will be over this Wednesday and they can get back to work?
7-28-2014 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Article quote: "...A source from the National Alliance, the four-way meeting was held yesterday evening between the head of the National Alliance, Ibrahim al-Jaafari and Parliament Speaker Salim al and Fuad Masum, President of the Republic and the President of the Federal Court Medhat al-Mahmoud to discuss the biggest bloc in parliament..." This article is saying al-Jubouri, Massoum, Medhat al-Mahmound and al-Jaafari met and decided the NA would be the ones to form the next GOI – not the SLC singularly. It goes on to say (translated) Massoum will call the NA to proceed later this week (essentially – based on the Eid al-Fitr timeline). HUGE NEWS turn out the lights Maliki - the party is OVER!!
7-28-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony [via Adept1] There is a date, a time and a final plan. Everyone has agreed. We’re there. That doesn’t mean it’s in the next 15 minutes, but we’re there. In Iraq, they have met with the incoming and outgoing PM, they have a PM ready to be announced. Hopefully it will be a great day and a great, great week...know that something could happen this week to change the rest of your life.
7-28-2014 Intel Guru DC [via Adept1] Everything looks really, really good and I pray this is the final thing. In Iraq, they are very busy with last-minute agreements. My take is they’ve had the PM now for many weeks.The security situation is going well, too. The CBI is ready...Banks are ready...The UN Security Council is happy with the ministers, and the progress being made. We can see the end in sight and it looks like we’re going to nail it. It looks really good.
7-28-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 BEING TOLD THEY WILL HAVE A EMERGENCY CALLED MEETING THIS WEEK. NOT CONFIRMED BUT A RUMOR FROM IRAQ. [in your opinion do you think Maliki will be gone by the end of the week?] ALL DEPENDS ON WHEN JABORI DECIDES TO ANNOUNCE THE NEW PM. I EXPECT THIS TO NOW HAPPEN AT ANYTIME.
7-28-2014 Newshound Guru wmawhite two to three weeks ago I thought Maliki still had a chance to survive this. However, with al-Sistani speaking up and calling for a change, many within the SoL now have jumped ship using al-Sistani as cover. I believe Maliki is history.
7-28-2014 Intel Guru TerryK THE OIL TANKER FROM IRAQ...THE QUESTION IS WHO ORDERED IT AND HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING FOR IT. IF ITS TO THE US PART OF PAYMENT THEN I SAY WE ARE THERE. IF IT IS FOR PRODUCTION TO A PRIVATE GROUP I SAY WE ARE DAMN CLOSE. REMEMBER IRAQ OWES US SO MANY BILLION BARRELS RIGHT...PART OF THE AGREEMENTS.
7-28-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar Baghdad newspaper of integrity: Quote: "Ibrahim Al-Jaafari said in a press statement that "the National Alliance is the largest parliamentary bloc, and not the State of law Coalition," I am posting this because of the importance...it is the crowning document being as al-Jaafrari is not just the head of the National Alliance but he is also part of the SOL (State of Law). The three blocks within the SOL, Jaafari's block, Badr block and the DAWA have all announced they no longer share the same position as the leadership of the SOL. They have by all definition defected as the SOL leadership continues to stand behind Maliki. The task now is to get everybody in the coalition to decide on one nominee. They have honed it down to three, two of which is Chalabi and Mahdi. I think we should have a uniform vote by Wednesday at the latest and it is possible that Jubouri will call them back into session before Friday of next week.
7-28-2014 Newshound Guru Kaperoni In fact, reading the "transition to a market economy" documents...state the central bank must move to the new Exchange Regime prior to opening the Capital Account. Which is great news for us because it gives us a timeline. Also, it make no sense for the CBI to RV prior to moving to a new regime as they would be forgoing profits (which is what the CBI wants) as the dinar rises. No international banks or central banks are going to just take "a leap of faith" on some RV of the dinar at say 1 to $1 rate. This is a much more complicated matter than just some simple RV... As Saleh stated...they want the dinar to be a "hard" currency (which means it must float) and be traded around the world and held in central banks for a very long time. The only way that happens is if the dinar appreciates gradually so the bankers can profit. [post 2 of 2]
7-28-2014 Newshound Guru Kaperoni currencies don't revalue when they change Exchange Regimes, they simply move from one to another. So the current rate is 1166 which means when they enter Article VIII and a new regime it will be at 1166. That being said, it won't stay there long. Every expert that I have ever seen has stated it is under valued which means that it will rise. And if Iraq lines up the economic activities as we stated, it should be like turning on a kitchen facet because once the CBI opens the Capital Account, investment will flow into Iraq and put people to work, new constructions, businesses, etc. Which will cause inflations with a fixed currency...so the dinar must rise as a result of transition to a market economy.

7-28-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels "...a tanker loaded with crude oil from Iraqi Kurdistan currently anchored near the port of Galveston, Texas, and will be subject to a procedural inspection by the U.S. Coast Guard on Sunday before being allowed to unload its cargo." If the ship docks in a US port it would mark not only the first arrival of Kurdish crude oil to the United States but an important victory for the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), which has faced challenges in finding buyers for its disputed crude oil. THE OFF LOADING OF THE OIL TANKER IN GALVESTON MAY BESPEAK AN AGREEMENT ON THE EXPORT OF OIL OUT OF KURDISTAN, WHICH WOULD BE VERY SIGNIFICANT I THINK.
7-27-2014 Intel Guru EXOGEN KURDISH OIL TANKER UNLOADING IN TEXAS RIGHT NOW IS SOME OF THE BIGGEST HISTORIC NEWS OF THIS INVESTMENT!!! THE KEY IS IT IS UNLOADING. THAT MEANS IT HAS BEEN PAID FOR.
7-27-2014 Intel Guru TerryK WORD I GOT IS ALL IS DONE, DONE, DONE AND WE ARE TO SEE THIS EITHER TONIGHT OR BY TUESDAY.
7-27-2014 Intel Guru Frank26 [when I saw the oil tanker go to galvinstan tx, it seems that Iraq has gone international and article compliance east to west.] FINALLY!!! These tanker carry oil that IMO Has an IR (International Rate).
7-27-2014 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "Kurdistan's oil tanker loaded with a value of 100 million U.S. dollars dock port" As this article indicates Family...this tanker is not yet docked in the US...it is anchored in the Gulf of Mexico..."off the Galveston coast". IMO, if this tanker is allowed to dock in the US that will be sending a strong message to Iraq and the ME as the US position regarding the Kurds sale of crude on the international market will have shifted significantly...it telegraphs the message that the US sees a unified government being put into place...one that will recognize the actions being taken by the Kurds in this "international process"...to me this could be HUGE...whether or not the US allows the ship to proceed to a dock and start to off-load.
7-27-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana We are nearing the end Ramadan, and I have feeling things are going to be heating up again real soon! Iraq in general is notorious for not accomplishing much during Ramadan, but this year was a bit of a refreshing change. Here's to good news soon...GO RV!!!
7-27-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar ...the definition of what constitutes the largest block was at issue. It was important to make sure to the coalition that they define that as something other than the SOL. Jubouri yesterday defined the largest block as the National Alliance effectively removing the power the SOL was trying to obtain through the courts by having them rule the SOL was the biggest block. The National Alliance (Shia Party) consists primarily of two opposing groups, the coalition 83 MP'S and the SOL 95 MP'S. (State of Law). The coalition wants Chalabi or Mahdi which are both acceptable to all Iraqi's and are non sectarian. The SOL leadership wants Maliki and has shown no interest in negotiating. Things are moving very fast and things are not going Maliki's way. He is still fighting but becoming more irrelevant every day. Side prediction - Maliki and the leadership of the SOL will be on an airplane heading to parts unknown within an hour of the announcement from the NA of their new nominee.
7-27-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels Article quotes: "The head of the Iraqi National Alliance, Ibrahim al-Jaafary, assured that the INA is the biggest bloc and not the State of Law Coalition headed by the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki." "Habeeb al-Turfi, of the Citizen bloc assured that the Iraqi National Alliance is the biggest parliamentary bloc. Speaking to AIN, Turfi said "The biggest bloc is the INA due to its effect in the parliament and it will be able to nominate the next PM." WOW ! it seems clear now that President Massoum will designate the choice for PM made by the National Alliance then that PM must form and seat a government/Council of Ministers acceptable to a majority vote by the full Parliament within 30 days after designation by the POR (President of the Republic).
7-27-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday Report quote: "new Iraqi Parliamentary Speaker Jabouri, speaking at a press conference following Masoum’s election, called on the new president to “use his constitutional powers to choose a candidate from the largest political bloc." SO THE PRESIDENT HAS THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWER TO PLACE THE PM FROM THE LARGEST BLOCK AND SEEMS TO BE REFERRING TO THAT TASK WITHIN TWO WEEKS. [Do you think they will stretch this out 2 more weeks?] I WOULD SAY NO BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL STATEMENTS BUT WE CAN ONLY WAIT – I DO SEE A SPEED THAT WE HAVE NOT WITNESSED BEFORE WITH ALL THAT ARE IN PLAY -- LAWS -- ELECTIONS -- AND SO MUCH MORE -- IT IS AMAZING TO SEE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. Quote: “There are a handful of very capable leaders who may emerge as the next prime minister of Iraq. We’re going to have to see this unfold very rapidly over the coming days.”
7-27-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 ...LIKE MY SOURCE HAS SAID THEY HAVE NEVER STOPPED THE MEETING ON HOW THEY WILL MOVE FORWARD AND THEY MEET TILL THEY AGREE ON A PROCESS OR CANDIDATES THEN THEY IMMEDIATELY REPORT THAT TO THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ THEN CONTINUE THE MEETING TILL THEY CROSS THE NEXT HURDLE. JABORI HAS BEEN AWESOME TO KEEP...THE WORLD NOTIFIED OF EVERY DETAIL OF PROGRESS AS HE MOVES THEM FORWARD. I SUSPECT A COUPLE MORE DAYS WILL SHOW MORE PROGRESS THAN WE REALLY EXPECT. WAIT AND SEE HOW HE PULLS OFF REMOVING MALIKI ...THAT...IS THE DAY THE POSSIBILITIES OF SEEING THE RV DOUBLES IMMEDIATELY. TURKI IS SAID TO BE STANDING IN WAITING TO MAKE HIS MOVE TO WELCOME AND ANNOUNCE FINANCIAL REFORM PROCESS.
7-27-2014 Newshound Guru wmawhite ...just keep in mind that once Iraq has a PM and will have a budget very soon...as a government they will NOT be able to function using the IQD unless the CBI steps forward and completes the monetary reforms. In other words, they are showing us their intended time frames...it is now serious for Iraq because they are not protected (financially) by the UN Security Council anymore.
7-27-2014 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Article quote: "Montadhar T نajem @MontadharN 4h Islamic Dawa Party announces it is supporting Sayd Sistani call to replace the PM position with new name #Iraq" That is MASSIVE NEWS. That is Maliki's inner circle saying they are done with him. I like the news right now... Period.
