Below are the latest guru updates from late last night and yesterday...be sure to check them out before you leave...
6-18-2014 Intel Gurus TNT Tony & DC Then he came on the news and announced (with the CBI) that we are doing this based on prior agreements. We are going to the RV on Friday, with a specific rate and time...they have done all the agreements and have announced it will be on Friday. He has announced it throughout the entire world and throughout Iraq. The US mainly wants a stable Iraq, so instead of power-sharing, they are trying to get other positions filled by others than Maliki, to form a more inclusive government. In essence, Maliki has thrown down the gauntlet to everyone. Everything looks phenomenally good. Even Chalabi is happy with the position he’s been offered. Maliki has said THIS is the date and THIS is the rate, and that has never happened before. We have to wait and see. [post 3 of 3]
6-18-2014 Intel Gurus TNT Tony & DC That was yesterday. The US said, “Wait, hold on!” So the US stopped it again for various reasons. But the CBI said they calmed everyone down, and it’s our country and we’re doing this. That fight went back and forth several times last night. CBI is still geared up to get this thing out. Now Maliki is no longer the PM although he is acting like it. M said, “If I can get this RV done here, today, what about making me PM again?” A lot of the folks came back and said, “If you get it done, sure. Good luck.” He got smacked down last night, so how could Maliki get this accomplished? [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
6-18-2014 Intel Gurus TNT Tony & DC [via Adept1] Maliki basically told everybody he would do it just before the government had it’s last power. At the last minute, the US came in with security problems and saying it was not great for us right now. In essence, they worked out a deal. Bottom line, M got what he wanted, and President Obama got what he wanted...It was a good deal for both Maliki and President Obama. They seated the government yesterday...They announced the seating of the government and...Chalabi said he would be the next Prime Minister. Meanwhile, the CBI said, we are tired of all this, we don’t like the agreement, and we are doing it now that the government has been seated. They notified the BIS , and the BIS notified all the other central banks. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
6-18-2014 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "Iraqi dinar regain "a bit of stability," a week after wobbling because of security threats" CBI claims they have sufficient reserves to address the current crisis and maintain the exchange rate...basically business as usual for them...there were increased demands for the dollar last week amidst the security crisis as it unfolded but this week has seen more stability.
6-18-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [Whoever pulls the trigger on financial prosperity (RI/RV) stands to create loyalty and promote stability. The way I see it, it still just remains a matter of time. IMHO.] I do agree with you - while it's not encouraging to see the current happenings, Iraq has come very far and I don't think this is going to destroy the important structure that Iraq has rebuilt nor do I think this will put an end to Iraq's potential and future progress.
6-18-2014 Intel Guru Okie_Oil_Man AUTHORIZATION TO THE BANKS FOR THE EXCHANGE CAN ONLY BE MADE BY THE UST AND NOT ANY GROUP OR INDIVIDUAL. YOU WILL ONLY EXCHANGE AT THE PROPER TIME AT A BANK THAT HAS THE AUTHORIZATION AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UST AT THAT BANK. THE QUESTIONS SURROUNDING THIS POST WILL BECOME MORE TRANSPARENT AND PROVED WITH LATER POSTS. I PLAN ON MAKING ANOTHER POST LATER ON TODAY AND WAS REQUESTED BY THE UST TO MAKE THIS POST IMMEDIATELY TO PRECLUDE PROBLEMS WITH UNAUTHORIZED INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS. REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU HEAR DO NOT CALL BANKS, DO NOT GO TO BANKS, DO NOT INTERFER WITH AN ONGOING PROCESS. [post 2 of 2]
6-18-2014 Intel Guru Okie_Oil_Man THIS IS AN OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED POST. THERE ARE GROUPS BEING FORMED FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXCHANGING YOUR FOREIGN CURRENCY. AS PER US TREASURY SOURCE NONE OF THESE GROUPS ARE AUTHORIZED BY THE UST AND ARE NOT CONSIDERED AS A AUTHORIZED OR RECOGNIZED GROUP. AT PRESENT THEIR ARE ONLY 1 AUTHORIZED GROUP AT THIS TIME. YOU UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE TO SEND YOUR DINAR TO ANY OF THESE GROUPS. THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO FORM OR BE RECOGNIZED AS A VALID AUTHORIZED GROUP REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEIR STATEMENTS ARE TO YOU. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
6-18-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony All good news but no action (yet).
6-18-2014 Intel Guru Frank26 Do not know the date but my Spirit says once the CBI is Satisfied with the GOI...We will see an IR (International Rate). Because in further examination I strongly believe the IMF is Satisfied with the CBI. The way my Spirit sees it is that we have something in common with the CBI and IMF...We are both watching and waiting.
6-18-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana The current situation is pretty serious over there - ISIS is not a good organization and they are making progress in their initiative to take control. If the GOI doesn't start handling business, it's going to get worse. It's my opinion that Iraq is going to need outside help - they simply aren't doing an effective job of defending their cities. My thoughts and prayers go out to the innocents that have and will be affected by the current situation, and I hope to see a quick end to the radical terrorist invasion that is currently taking place. [post 2 of 2]
6-18-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...while Iraq has taken a step back, and I don't expect to see this blow over very quickly...all is not yet lost. There will be no RV tomorrow or this week or probably not even this month, which takes us right into Ramadan (basically the whole month of July). In the past, I have always maintained that no RV would happen during Ramadan. Depending on how the next couple weeks go, I may change my stance on that statement...we will just have to watch as events continue to unfold. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
6-18-2014 Intel Guru Delta On Iraqi tv they announced to the citizens: we told you about the Qi cards and you are to report on July 1st to get paid.
6-18-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels Market Rate bounced upward to 1,217 today. [is that because the cbi is charging for a larger spread?] not sure of such. what occurred to me is that one should expect some change given the dramatic circumstances in Iraq if the auction info is REAL.
6-18-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday Article quote: "House of Representatives held its first session of the newly elected for the 2014-2018 legislative session in 30 of the current month of June, after the passage of 15 days from the date of approval of the Federal Court on the results of the parliamentary elections as stipulated by the constitution after the Court confirmed the results on Monday 06/16/2014." the calculation of this order puts the new parliament in their chairs on the July 1st date... excuses will not be listened to this time...the new names were certified and done...and they shall start work in two weeks... they are saying that the four names that did not make it through the certification process will not hold up the seating of the parliament due to the constitutional orders and compliance -- they will be working and sworn in with the names of president and deputies by majority vote -- dont even need quorum.
6-18-2014 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "CBI: our reserves "safe" with banks abroad" CBI Governor Turki has said that the Iraqi reserves are safe and contained in banks abroad...the CBI has the ability to support the exchange rate of the dinar to the fullest extent...and without a roof...interesting choice of words....gold reserves have been doubled three times just in the current year...the masterful things the CBI does while everyone's attention is on other things.
6-18-2014 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [if they let it float right now its already going in the downward motion . whats to keep it from falling more and more every day. the only reason its where it is now is that the CBI is holding it there.] the dinar is managed now through what is termed a "currency board" or fake daily auction where citizens buy dollars, sell dinar in country under Article XIV. The value of the dinar is in a pegged "exchange regime" to the dollar. The exchange rate does not move and only the Market Rate changes based on these auctions. When the CBI moves to Article VIII and the dinar becomes a worldwide convertible currency, it also will have a new "exchange regime" in which the currency will no longer be pegged to the dollar and will some sort of float thus allowing it to find its true value based supply and demand as the world sees its worth. Significant difference here from an internally managed currency to a real world currency.
6-17-2014 Intel Guru Okie_Oil_Man [via Sambo] ...WAITING FOR THE AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE THE POST. [reference Okie's prior post 6-17-2014]
6-17-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 I HAVE QUOTED MANY TIMES WHAT THE CBI GOVERNOR STATED AND WHAT THE IMF HAVE STATED AND EVEN PLACED ON THEIR WEB SITE FOR 3 DAYS. $3.22 PLUS UP TO 20% MORE FOR POSSIBLE INFLATION DURING AND SINCE THE WAR STARTED AND YES THERE HAS BEEN MUCH INFLATION AND INCREASE IN RESERVES SINCE THAT TIME SO THE RATE WILL BE ACCORDING TO WHAT THOSE FIGURES BRING THEM. WE KNOW ALSO THAT THEY HAVE STATED MANY TIMES THEY WILL BE WITHIN 10 CENTS UP OR DOWN TO KUWAIT AND I READ TODAY THAT KUWAIT IS NOW AT $3.65 SO THAT WOULD GET US FROM $3.55 TO $3.75. NOT SET IN ANY RATE FOR SURE BUT JUST POSSIBILITIES. [post 2 of 2]
6-17-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 RV IS STILL A FEW DAYS AT BEST AWAY BUT IS STILL MUCH CLOSER THAN EVER. THE GOI AND FINANCIAL BODIES ARE STILL PLANNING AND MOVING FORWARD. POLITICAL DEADLINES AND FINANCIAL DEADLINES HAVE BEEN SET AND ANNOUNCED BUT WE ALL KNOW THEY ALMOST NEVER HAPPENS ON THE DEADLINE BUT THEY WILL NOT MISS THEM MUCH. MUCH TALK ABOUT RATES AGAIN...AND ZERO HAS CHANGED ABOUT RATES FROM ANYONE THAT HAS ANY SAY ABOUT WHAT THE RATE WILL BE. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
6-17-2014 Intel Guru Mnt Goat I believe we will see the RV soon as I have stated many, many times but only when parliament is seated, the president is seated, the prime minister (Chalabi) is seated, and all his ministers are seated. They (meaning the USA) are not going to repeat the mess they had back in 2010 with Maliki. They will use the currency reform as leverage to get the government formed and fully functional. Then they will pop the currency out to the international markets...this final announcement of the IQD going international will not happen until the USA feels the Iraq government is stable and is a functional government. This is has been the plan all along. [post 2 of 2]
6-17-2014 Intel Guru Mnt Goat Finally yesterday the Federal Court announced the ratified of the election results. However there are 4 candidates that are being withheld...The reason for not ratifying these candidates is unknown... It was...announced yesterday in Iraq that Ahmed Abdel Hadi Chalabi would be the national alliance/citizens coalition’s candidate for prime minister. I have an excellent source in the Iraq government and they are telling me Chalabi is the new prime minister, as we will all witness very shortly. I can see Iraq is trying to progress quickly in the completion of setting up their new government. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
6-17-2014 Newshound Guru Stryker The news is much better than reported on our main stream media folks...
6-17-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony Yes it is true. A new PM in Iraq and it is official. Government officially seated today. We are next.
6-17-2014 Intel Guru Okie_Oil_Man 4.40PM CST-- I EXPECT TO BE MAKING A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS---AS PAUL HARVEY USED TO SAY--"STAND BY FOR NEWS"!
6-17-2014 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "Will chair the opening session of the new parliament and government rescue of the free and the citizen and the other blocks, headed by Chalabi" This is awesome news and comes on the tail of [Guru] Frank's announcement ...that Chalabi would be the name put forth by the National Coalition as Prime Minister when the new Parliament comes together for their first session...with this new government it is expected that a reformatted agreement with the US will be forthcoming...
6-17-2014 Intel Guru Frank26 ...our opinions on C [Chalabi]...For now this is ONLY A nomination. They will share with You at a very slow pace. ...worry not about what they say...Focus instead on what they do. They want You to understand their feelings as a nation on who they want as PM. While M [Maliki] invokes all methods to keep his position as PM ...Attention is turned to C [Chalabi]. There are many CHANGES forming in Iraq...IMO a change of PM would compliment a new Beginning.
6-17-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar We have seen only one article so far that the NA chose Chalabi as their PM. Originally I thought maybe it had been released early and it was pulled. It turns out the newsite that released it went down right after it was released and that the article is most likely a good article. So this is not over but it should be over very soon. The next government will be formed before the end of the month. Maliki will be out. [post 2 of 2]
6-17-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar Maliki refuses to leave in the face of countries all over the world telling him to get out. He lost the election but still he stays. He has lost his immunity but still he stays. This morning he announces that he doesn't need emergency powers because he already has them under a law he tried to push through parliament a while back, - THE NATIONAL SAFETY LAW. Parliament did not approve such a law. This morning the legal guys in Iraq have said this is another illegal move to stay in power and that it does not give him any powers to act as though a state of emergency exists. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
6-17-2014 Intel Guru Frank26 [via R601a] parliament seated before the end of this month...ISX international on July 01 - will need real value...Maliki in caretaker mode...Turki said mid year major changes will happen to currency...Expect announcement this week that political situation is under control - ie stability...something VERY important to be announced in next 2 weeks...Delayed issue of Qi cards that were to be issued last weekend - waiting for RV?...Qi cards when issued will be international at the NEW RATE - contractors are being held up using these cards...All laws relevant to RV have been passed and processed.
6-17-2014 Newshound/Intel Guru Eagle1 [via R601a] [We passed the 15th will we see a seated Gov in June?] IMO by 28 - 29th June.
6-17-2014 Intel Guru Delta [via R601a] No gov seated in June. Parliament seated in June. Gov will not start until end of July to the middle of August. But this has nothing to do with the monetary policy. CBI can RV at any time - fully authorized to RV at any time they wish - very likely within the next 2 weeks - was told that a major announcement near the end of June...be happy - something very good is going to happen very soon.
6-17-2014 Newshound/Intel Guru Bluedog I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE OIL IN IRAQ AND ALL OIL COMPANIES HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS...IF YOU WERE ISIS YOU WOULD HIT THE OIL FIRST (WINK)...THATS IRAQS ECONOMY BUT OIL GOES ALONG WITH NO PROBLEMS.
6-17-2014 Newshound Guru Stryker Article: "Asadi: the first session of the new parliament after consulting political leaders" the Vice President Khodair will call the first session and it looks like they could call it early, after determining the right date...the first session can be held anytime after the ratification of the election results but before 15 days from the date of ratification. My point is, they can speed up the process to help boot Maliki to the curb and take control of the mess he has caused.
6-17-2014 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [...why did the CBI jump 57% today...] a 57% jump in sales in the daily auction means that there was an increase in demand for dollars which in essence means Iraqis are probably dumping the Iraqi dinar in wanting the dollar. when demand goes beyond the cost of imports and it becomes the citizens desire then the currency in the country becomes less desirable which is not good for us.
6-16-2014 Newshound Guru Stryker We still need confirmation on this one but it sure looks like Maliki is out and Chalabi looks to be the one and only National Coalition nominee. Confirmation is the key but it sure is looking good folks!
6-16-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony A month ago, two weeks ago, Friday we didn't think we'd have to wait for the new PM. But it's now part of the new agreement and it's not going to be weeks or months. We're getting calls from people over there telling us it's not like what we're seeing on TV here. There are some things going on but not like that. We are still in a good place and things are moving along very fast. We are almost there. [You think we have a good opportunity for this week?] Yes, you should have been in there this morning. If I have to give a back wall, it would be July 1. But the plan isn't for it to go that far. [post 2 of 2]
6-16-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony [via Adept1] You should be at the bank right at this moment. But the schedule was blown apart. I want to give more details without getting us in trouble. Okay, lots of money at stake. It's Maliki's last day/week in office and things could get out of hand. Some could take money that doesn't belong to them and run. Some could be forced into those situations here at the last minute. It has gone as far as some reaching out to others asking for help to protect their money. Those issues had to be worked out and a deal was put in place. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
6-16-2014 Intel Guru DC [via Adept1] Bottom line is that a very last-minute agreement was reached at the very last minute to not release this to the public until the GOI is seated and going through. They wanted a smoother transition. We understand that's any minute, any day. They are announcing they have the votes and it frees up again when it becomes official and goes forward. [Do we have to wait until 7/1 for them to announce the new GOI?] They are supposed to announce the new GOI at anytime, any day. Could be at any time. I'm going to say that things are looking extremely good.
6-16-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 JUST GOT ANOTHER TEXT SAYING PM NAMED A COUPLE HOURS AGO BUT HAVEN'T CONFIRMED THROUGH ANY SOLID SOURCE AS OF YET...I WILL HAVE TO SEE IT ANNOUNCED BEFORE IT WILL BECOME REAL TO ME. WE NEED TO JUST WAIT TILL THE BIG DOGS TELL US FOR SURE. [is it possible that the RV could still come roughly the same time as the PM announcement?] I DON'T THINK THEY WILL BE FAR APART. SEVERAL THINGS STILL PENDING AND THEY CAN ALL HAPPEN ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY...THEY HAVE REPORTED THE HCL AND 140 AND TARIFF LAWS AND REGULATION ARE AGREED ON AND JUST NEED IMPLEMENTATION.
6-16-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar I am confident that everything will work out once Maliki is gone. I will not minimize what has happened and is happening is not serious and could get worse. It is difficult to remove a dictator and no one really knows in the end what measures you will have to go to, to do it. I would point out that no one is backing this government which I find strange. Everyone is backing the people of Iraq. That's why I continue to say this is not what it seems. No matter the truth of what's going on will come out very soon. Iraq will have a new government. By the way, the CBI has been continuing through this crisis to make the changes in preparation for something. It has been business as usual for them. They don't seem to have missed a step. [post 2 of 2]
6-16-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar Many residents are returning to the towns that are listed as taken over In Mosul which is the 2nd largest city in Iraq there are two check points going into and out of the city. People who evacuated are already returning and yet the city is still under control of "the insurgency". I realize the news we are getting in this country tells a different story and it is somewhat because of the confusion on the ground, but this will soon sort itself out unless something new comes into the picture. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
6-16-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday ...there is a lot on the news of fear in Iraq of civil war -- the service men and volunteers have done a great job but there is a lot of violence in the country. Article quote: "Despite the challenges and difficulties faced by Iraq, but the property rights guaranteed are not affected by the current crisis..." the country is actually showing a healthy isx in country. they are monitoring for compliance and also looking at the index to see if the security problem is causing a drop and it seems -- not much -- thats great. this means that the constant or predictable rate that is imposed now is holding so they are being successful -- stability in the market especially in a time such as this is very important and obviously they are showing stability.
6-16-2014 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG this is still the "End Game..." for Maliki. It is becoming more and more widely accepted that Maliki is really bad for Iraq. Lots of news pieces. I didn't expect him to go quietly...It is a complex situation - many human rights tragedies going on... it is heart breaking. The financial aspects are - minor in comparison. We should be in prayer for this nation. It is in some peril. I believe it will get worked out quickly once leadership change takes place. [how long before you think it will take to get the government changed?] tough to say - supposed to have elections certified and new Parliament seated soon.
6-16-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 I WAS...TOLD THE ELECTION RESULTS WILL BE ANNOUNCED WITHIN THE NEXT 72 HOURS. LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE THEY HAVE NEVER MET THE FIRST DEADLINE... THE GOOD NEWS IS THEY ARE STILL ON IT AND MOVING TO FINALIZE ALL THE STEPS THEY NEED TO ACCOMPLISH. I THINK IT IS POSSIBLE THEY WILL ANNOUNCE THE RESULTS TOMORROW [MONDAY]. TIME WILL TELL THE FACTS.
6-16-2014 Intel Guru Frank26 If we have SECURITY and STABILITY then watch the OIL of IRAQ flow like LAVA. The KURDS are in control is not just a catch phrase...It is A PLan. Articles are good but the KEY is we are BACK to the end of o's [Obama's] mistake in 2012. As if our USA Troops never left. Article 140 is alive again. The cost for oil goes up and so does the SALE of it? Not ironic...A Plan. Back to the end of 2012 when o made his mistake to pull out of Iraq TOO EARLY! USA TROOPS...Only...BACK in Iraq. A Plan! IMO, MR (Monetary Reform) Dominoes are falling like Giant Redwood Trees.
6-16-2014 Intel Guru TD The Kurds also have grabbed Tikrit and they are ready for an independent state. IT IS VERY POSSIBLE that a new state dividing the nation into 3 factions is the ultimate outcome after the fighting and sorting through is done. EVERYONE in Iraq is disgusted with the status quo and each faction says THEIR future does not include the other two. Whatever happens, this sad mess will take months & months to sort through. [post 2 of 2]
6-16-2014 Intel Guru TD Calling real time events being covered by now, the world media, "smoke", "sideshow", etc. is a real insult to those who are living it and suffering from the breakdown of Iraq. IMHO, posters need to be more respectful to this human tragedy. It is "real" and it brings about severe uncertainty for the immediate future. We have to keep in mind the Sunni-Shiite discourse has it's roots back to the 17th century and will NOT (this time) just evaporate. ISIS is still gaining and NOT being defeated or retreating. By stealing over $400 million dollars (in Mosul), capturing military hardware, etc. from the GOI, it has momentum, the might & funds to furnish it's cause. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
6-16-2014 Intel Guru Hub [we need the dinar history post - motivational.] well here we go...go to the 1955 funk and wagnels and you will see the iraqi dinar exchange value was $2.55, at that same time, the dong was $2.20 and it kept its value until france went into the country...and we all know the dinar was $3.22 with sadam...so now that all the unbelievable resources found in iraq, it has to go up to the value of the country.
6-16-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 Article quote: "Days after Iraq's second-largest city fell to Al Qaeda-inspired fighters, some Iraqis are already returning to Mosul, lured back by insurgents offering cheap gas and food, restoring power and water and removing traffic barricades." Only days after Mosul fell, Iraqis return to find lower prices, restored services and more. like old POPPY3 TOLD YOU THINGS WILL CHANGE FOR THE BETTER VERY FAST.
6-16-2014 Intel Guru Bluwolf THE OCCURRENCES IN IRAQ IS JUST A SIDESHOW THAT WILL DISAPPEAR...SEE THIS IS HOW COVER UPS TRANSPIRE AND THIS IRAQ ISSUE IS JUST THAT, A BUYING OF TIME IN ORDER TO GET SOMETHING PUT IN PLACE. I WILL SAY THIS THOUGH...WE ARE FINALLY THERE FOLKS NO MATTER WHAT IT MAY SEEM LIKE... [post 2 of 2]
6-16-2014 Intel Guru Bluwolf THE CURRENT STORM OF EVENTS IN IRAQ DOES NOT CHANGE THE IMMINENT GLOBAL RESET. NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR I HAVE NOT RECEIVE A WORD ON THIS SUBJECT. THE UST IS ON LOCKED DOWN AND BANKS HAVE BEEN ALERTED. SOME...ARE SAYING THAT THE DONG WILL COME OUT TOMORROW [MONDAY] AT .47 AND THEN GO UP WITHING 4 OR 5 DAYS. THIS I DO NOT BELIEVE TO BE TRUE. THE DONG DOES NOT NEED TO FLOAT FOR IT ALREADY IS A TRADEABLE CURRENCY. THE INTERNATIONAL RELEASE SHALL BE COMING OUT FULLY ALL 198 COUNTRIES SHALL APPEAR AT THE SAME TIME. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
6-16-2014 Intel Guru Jester I DO NOT SEE THAT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN THE WAY IT NEEDS TO START PROGRESSING YET... HIGH HOPES THAT SOME OF THE THINGS GOING ON WILL GENERATE SOME MOMENTUM FOR THAT FIRST DOMINO TO FALL...SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS LINING UP.
6-16-14 Newshound Guru Tlar So by Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday we should see the process again moving along only IMO it will move quickly because all the main players have already been chosen and agreed to. So potentially up to Friday next week everything will continue to look confusing especially if you are reading the US media. Everything will become much more clear by next Friday or before. The crux of the hold up is the election results not having been ratified yet. [post 2 of 2]
6-16-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar The process to change the country has begun. Maliki tried to get the federal court to grant him the state of emergency and they declined. So he just declared it all by himself. Everyone is ignoring his self proclaimed state of emergency. The parliament is the only organization that has the power to grant a state of emergence and rather than do that they called for the government to resign. ...the election results will be released in the next two to three days. The election committee had reported that the numbers floating around a week ago will not change much. Once the election results are ratified the new parliament will meet and get down to the business of changing the government which is now operating under a caretaker government.
