Samson:  Parliamentary Finance expresses its concern about the "food security" funds: This is what we will do!

11th June, 2022

The Finance Committee of the Iraqi Parliament revealed today, Saturday, that there is a fear about wasting or stealing some of the financial allocations included in the Food Security Law, which was recently enacted by Parliament.

Committee member Sajjad Salem told Shafaq News Agency, "The financial allocations included in the Food Security Law are actual needs that the Iraqi people suffer from, such as the electricity file, the ration card file, the reconstruction file, and the farmers' entitlements."

Salem added, "We do not deny that some ministries and state institutions are corrupt and corruption is almost completely controlled, and this is what makes there fear about the financial allocations included in the Food Security Law, but we are in the Finance Committee in the Iraqi Parliament, we will strictly monitor the disbursement of these allocations.

We will also demand statements of these expenditures, which are carried out by ministries and state institutions, to prevent any waste of money or suspicions of corruption such as thefts and others.

Tivon:  The Tax Authority pretty much covered this section in terms of eliminating corruption. Now you have a movement towards sending the money allocated from the FSL directly to the Ration Cards. And now we have an admittance from the Finance Committee that corruption is just about a non-issue given all the legal and electronic parameters set in place that will protect the funds from being looted.

Now do you guys see why Mailiki wants to file lawsuits against the FSL? He is actually upset that he will not be able to steal from the citizens anymore.

So whenever you see anyone trying to come out against the FSL just know the incentive may be more nefarious then they would ever let on.

This Law is the real deal. Otherwise it wouldn't have faced so much resistance. There are gurus out there who read my post looking for zingers where they think my position will falter at some point because they presume there has to be holes somewhere in my argument.

The Director-General of the authority, Shaker Al-Zubaidi, stated, according to a statement of finance, that "after coordination and follow-up between the concerned departments, the Ministry of Transport will provide the General Customs Authority with the validity of the issuance of the entry of goods through land, air and sea ports, and in turn the authority informs the Central Bank of Iraq."

Which means if you do not have paperwork to justify pricing of products to match the offering/purchase as opposed to mark ups on items from parties under questionable aliases they can not account for it will not be allowed at the port of entry to proceed towards shipping.

This will help with fraud in the currency auctions. No more using citizens names under the guise of appointment to buy/sell who have zero income to attribute to any legal contract.

 All of this is addressed in the FSL. There are parties that take advantage of the citizens' full documents under the pretext of appointment and others, and their names are registered in the currency auction and financial transfer.

This is why they will now use an identification number system instead of the citizens names assigned to the remittances, and on this basis, no name will be accepted, but rather an identification number so that there is no similarity and will also end corruption and the like.

JaimieO:  FRANK, MM, TIVON, PETRA OR ANYONE ELSE... PLEASE HELP ME OUT ON THIS:

IMO - There were several articles  recently covering Sadr calling for the resignations from his entire block.  Yet, unless I missed it, nobody has commented on this at all.

Can someone please tell me why Sadr would have his block MP's resign???  What does he gain by that & what part would that play in forming the GOI???   OR, was this just a big BLUFF???

Tivon:  Listen, in general the goal is to return to the "Gold Standard". Which will by default will result in a smaller government in most countries anyway.

Power is returning to the people. Keep in mind Iraq has not announced a return to the Gold Standard yet. Russia did. Zimbabwe plans to. China is in the process. From 1879 until the outbreak of the World War in 1914, the United States was a participant in what has been called the classical gold standard, under which all world powers redeemed their sovereign currencies in a definite weight of gold.

What is Iraq trying to return to or already has? A Sovereign country.

Everyone thinks the "Criminalizing Normalization Zionist Law" was to create social/racial conflict among the average citizens. No, it was to ensure the corrupt elite entities that pledge their allegiance to Rothschilds/Khazarians no longer can impose or implant political figures who work on behalf of "The British Crown" who can uproot Iraq from it's own wealth under the guise of "The War On Terror" to pillage its gold/precious metals so they can remain under the hegemony of the US Dollar.

Al-Sadr knows corruption runs deep in the politics blocs. Before the Civil War, government officials weren’t in charge of picking the quantity of dollars at all. Rather, the public determined how many dollars were in circulation by presenting gold or silver to the government for minting as coins according to weights specified in law.

Remember,  Fiat Money = Fiat Government.

Once the reinstatement occurs you will see governments around the world be reduced by a wide margin. I'd say 70-90%. Why do you think they are trying to get Al-Kazemi to run the country through the FSL for the remainder of the year?

Because they plan on using this time to shave off the fat and oust most from their position before the end of the life cycle of the FSL. Then they can start fresh with a new E-Government. Free of corruption.

 Since it will be extremely hard to steal most people running for office will be very small. Fiscal prudence is a deterrent. IMO

Tivon:  My fellow members of KTFA, I want to bring something to your attention that I think has been overlooked from a few weeks ago regarding the "Food Security Law" and what it entails.

 We will focus on a particular section in an outline of objectives written by "The Finance Committee" and the agenda they look to activate once the FSL is published and implemented on the day it is to be printed in the Gazette.

What are one of the areas of "Citizens Entitlements" can be found in the proposed law? The HCL/Oil & Gas correct? Tell me what accounts for 90% of Iraqs revenue? Oil, correct? They told you a week ago that this has already been legislated.

Isn't it in their Constitution (Article60/Second) Based on provisions of Article 17/First of Parliament Law and it's formation Number (13 of 2018). And Article (120) of The House of Representatives internal system that includes the distribution of the oil revenues is owed to all the Iraqi people according to Article (111) in the Constitution.

Which states that Oil & Gas is the property of the Iraqi people in all regions and provinces.

Didn't the Federal Court exert their constitutional will upon the Kurdistan Region to sign over the Oil & Gas Law to Baghdad? So how will they attain these funds if the result of this will be "Purchasing Power"?

 Who did the CBI meet with to ensure the electricity file will be paid? Iran, correct? Isn't the Electricity/Gas File in the FSL? So how or why wouldn't the CBI know of the FSL if they are the ones obligated to ensure debts of this file is paid to Iran? (MG).

 Didn't Mazhar Muhammad Saleh state a few days ago that the FSL will move the wheels of the economy? How do they plan to do so if the international exchange rate is not applied if they plan on giving these entitlements to citizens that is predicted upon the HCL/NGO/Oil & Gas?

Where else can you find someone in Dinarland willing to break this down to you daily? I am not an expert/guru. I am using critical thinking skills. Now couple this information with what you heard on Frank's call last Thursday. Think. What is about to come out for the citizens? ATM's, Visas, Small, Notes, and all the details concerning the rate that you heard from Walkingstick.

Edna:  I truly am grateful for Tivon, his analysis, straight foreword, no distractions, no detours, no interpretations approach,coupled with supporting facts and articles has helped my understanding tremendously even from a month ago. So many times (made to believe) we were at the doorstep, only to be denied time and time again, folks double talking, plausible deniabity, all that foolishness....I know. But having said that, I must say I'm hopeful the fruit we all desire will come forth soon..I'm NOT excited (that was taken long ago) but Hopeful and grounded...let's sit back and see what they give us.

TSM: Exactly Edna.... There have been far to many Victory laps... ta-da...and I told you so to get too excited...I am of the camp that need results not another 200 final articles, which while they show progress... they don't show a clear finish line...and most articles will have another one completely contradicting what we think we have read...and sadly a good lot of the negative articles...have been proven to be more accurate than the rose colored ones...all IMO

Tivon:  Tsm, I understand your sentiment as it is based on past disappointments of not having the discernment required to decipher through who is your opposition and who are the protagonist as everyone in Iraq for the most part is looked at through one lens.

So to break through the gray area you have to internally understand your own humanity in order to spot it in others.

 And when you study, I mean really look into these articles you can clearly see who the antagonist are. Because when you look at some of these politicians when they mention the many obstacles from opposing parties who don't live in Iraq but like to criticize laws that would help the average citizens and demand it be changed or revoked look at their residence, status, history, and connections you can start the process of understanding their refusal to support something that goes against how they attained their wealth.

What is about to be published in the Gazette? The Food Security Law.

 How many have said it was the end of the world vs the ones who said this law will help Iraqis? Why do you think the World Bank came out and apologized to Iraq?

273 Deputies voted for the law. I can post many opposing viewpoints from the FSL. But who ultimately won out? The 273 people who voted for it. Now look who holds the oil contracts. Not Kurdistan. So obviously something has change dramatically. IMO
