Jeff Article "Pompeo: US welcomes formation of new Iraqi government". The reason why Mike Pompeo went to Iraq on Easter Sunday and met with the new prime minister Kazemi is because his government is done and formed. They cannot and will not tell you all of the truth out of Iraq...Iraq's new government is done formed and complete. "We welcome Shia, Sunni and Kurdish political leaders seem to have arrived at a consensus on government formation..., Pompeo said in a statement."
Jeff ...what [community member] MD1978 is trying to tell you is that the end of March would be the end of the 2019 fiscal year and...Iraq only has 30 days to show you the rate...so by the end of March [April?] Iraq has to show you the rate and make it public. I personally agree with MM1978 100%...that encircles the weekend of April 25th-26th that weekend. By having a lot of key things that would put stability in place for Iraq over the weekend of the 25th-26th we need to keep our eyes around that time period. That's when a lot of important things are happening.
Frank26 ...Donald Trump is just doing some amazing things...who is he doing this with? The CBI...I think it's important that Donald Trump is the reason why you're reading a lot of CBI articles...everyday more than one. And they're all coming from where? That meeting that we told you about... 1. Stop the auctions. 2. No use of the American dollar...this is miraculous...this is powerful... 3. New small category notes...coexist with the notes out right now... 4. New rate...the last 6 days we've had an avalanche of information from the CBI and all because of Donald Trump IMO...he's pushing it out...we told you this was going to happen just before they release all this information. It's about to be released and that's why they're giving you the information. You need the new rate before you get the new currency. You need the information before you get the new currency. You need the information before you even get the rate to get the new currency. Oh snap! That's what's going on right now. This is serious family!
KTFA:
YoungSC: Does anybody know when does the ISX opens back up?
Hammy14: Young_SC, as of right now, it is scheduled to open back up this Sunday, April 19. As always, that could change, but we will see what they do.
MarkPam: Clearly, there are final moves being made to solidify the imminent change of both monetary policy and political instability to initiate a new Iraq. Amidst the craziness we see in the world there continues to be progress on both these fronts regardless of roadblocks and sidebars.
To this:
Post 7: IMF sees a strong recovery next year for Iraq. Now how can they forecast that in light of the current challenges facing the country with low oil prices, unemployment, and a worthless currency unless something "outside" the current paradigm changes. More on that later...
Post 8&9: Securitization of Salaries for citizens payrolls....how can that be, they say they will use their reserves...no way they can do that and not jeopardize their future. Like closing your 401k when your 35 years old...wrong! This is just appeasing the masses temporarily but anybody who studies here with Frank and teams know that is a façade.
Post 10: The need for Private Sector Investment...BINGO! The reference is not local "private" but "INTERNATIONAL" investment. And why would they come in at a PR? They would not, so, they know what has to be done and done quickly due to liquidity challenges and the deletion of the use of the USD in their markets. Remember, no MCP practices are allowed under Article 8!!
Post 14: Replacement of US Forces for Economic Forces...Hey Iraq...how about having both!!!
Post 19: Al-Alaq now being promoted to "Chairman of the Board" of the AMF. Wow...he got a promotion and he hasn't started yet. How does that work? Part of DT's plan for playing ball with the MR? IMO I believe so. And, why announce it now...unless his job is just about done and on to a new adventure!
And lastly, Post 22: Kurds coming to Baghdad for "their deal?" That has already been decided and is in the budget per previous posts about 90+ days ago. Why come back now? And what day are you coming? How about Tuesday and say hello to the new seated PM and his cabinet?
So, lots of coincidences occurring these next few weeks such as:
ISX re-opening on the 18th, CBI ceasing use of USD illegally, Gas purchases from Iran to cease, Pompeo's mandate for May 1 to have their political and economic act together. Lots going on and it's pretty darn exciting!! Blessings All!!! And don't forget to wash your hands!!
MilitiaMan: Thanks for your input MarkPam.. This is the stuff that gets the cogs whirling around and around for me.. lol Mine may need some extra grease.. lol
As for post 7: The IMF knows full well that the IQD is under - valued and knows the books Alaq has prepared be sure, during his stay at the CBI. They know that the systems in place will be the platforms of Iraq's future. I.e., block chain improved reporting for customs and accounting measures at the borders, E-Government, etc. Customs fees alone can and will if oil stays low exceed the oil revenues if not match them when it rises again. Then we have the Secondary market concerns that need to be activated. The secondary markets can help facilitate hedging the oil pricing. The IMF would know that needs to be done and will be.
This link shows that most likely Alaq has been the deputy for the AMF for a year now real close, training? Don't know... The timing of him now being exposed as the Chairman of the AMF is very profound and imo suggests his job is about over at the CBI..
It also suggests that what he has done at the helm for the CBI in respect to the value of the IQD is going to garner appreciation from the region at large and globally. Think about it.. His value he placed on just the bad loans was a 6/1 ratio. Just as the currency printed was and will be according to the statistics from the CBI site.. imo.... That is from the CBI data not mine.. imo
Time has me, so I'll leave the latter items you have for now. But, they are key points and everyone should focus on them too. The ISX is not going to hook up with the NASDAQ at a program rate, nor is the value of the shares to meet regional standards going ti improve unless the IQD is RId imo. A few things to add.. imo.. So, thank you!
Peace.. ~ MM
