Red Pilled and Poised: Frank told us the vote does not matter. If the vote occurs on Sunday, or Saturday as mentioned in a previous article, the rate can change and we could very well see this going on a Sunday into Monday.
Youngsc: I strongly suggest that you guys watch Franks YouTube last night and listen carefully to what he had already stated in his opinion about the PM and his cabinet over a dozen times.
Cleitus: Family, listen to last night's ub2b at the 2:13:28 onward and listen carefully what Frank is telling Eddie! There is much to gather from that conversation and it's all POSITIVE!

Frank ...we have a cloud of smoke from the excitement from the explosion IMO of them actually pushing a button...it's not dark humor. It's not science fiction. It's not a comedy. It's all great. The Prime Minister twice talked to the citizens of Iraq about the exchange rate for the improvement of their economy. Twice he's talked about the exchange rate. He also talked to them about the vote. And yeah they're gonna have the vote and he gave the reason why there won't be one today [Wednesday]. It looks like Thursday. Tomorrow hopefully they get it all done. That's really not important. It's really not. IMO the government has been functioning with no problem for quite a while...
Frank This past Monday they pushed the button on the 30 day countdown of the formation and announcement and the introduction of the budget and the introduction of the new rate all within that 30 day time-frame. This is all IMO. I don't know...I wanna say I feel I'm 99% positive about this but I have to be polite and say this is all my opinion because it's not like I can show you...because I can't...
Pimpy ...Dr. Shabibi wrote an article complaining that the monetary policies that the CBI is under from the IMF and World Bank helps keep inflation low but it really chokes off their ability to grow economically. He's the one pushing for a rate change...
Markets in Free Fall Worldwide as Country after Country becomes Economically Crippled !!
The Atlantis Report: Premiered 51 minutes ago
The Fear of the epidemic causes Dow Jones and Nasdaq to plummet. American Airlines swoops - Strong sales on Microsoft and Apple that drag the market down - Oil is falling.
The Financial Markets globally are in free fall as the world wakes up to the fact that we are in the middle of a virus pandemic. This is a worldwide epidemic .
Even here in the United States, we have this one case that everyone's focusing on, but what we failed to miss is the fact that the CDC; because of a problem in getting their test reagents out to the local labs, we've hardly tested anyone.
And so here the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I think we have a much more robust transmission going on in this country right now that we just haven't picked up.
And this is happening in countries around the world. Now 50 countries confirmed, and I suspect it's in many many more than that that will be confirmed in the days ahead.
The virus continues to spread globally. More than 80,000 cases have been confirmed worldwide, including just under 1,000 in South Korea, more than 280 in Italy, and 53 in the United States.
President Donald Trump may claim that the U.S. has the virus under control, but health experts and stock market strategists are less confident in the administration’s assessment.
Japan has called for all public schools to be closed from next Monday to the end of spring break in April. This, as infections outside China, now outnumber those inside China.
Saudi Arabia stopped the pilgrimage to the Islamic holy sites. Numerous international flights have been cut back or canceled.
Altogether, 50 countries or territories have confirmed cases of the virus. South Korea has again seen its biggest one-day jump in infections, and Saudi Arabia has stopped travel to religious pilgrimage sites due to fears over the virus.
In Europe, Italy's outbreak has worsened, while Romania, Denmark, and Estonia are the latest countries to confirm cases. And Australia is taking emergency measures to stop the disease spreading. Numerous international flights have been cut back or canceled.
Countries around the world are fighting to ward off a pandemic. And the FED is speechless in the face of trillions in lost global GDP output; as country after country becomes economically crippled.
Welcome back to The Atlantis Report.
CNBC reported that the virus already wiped out $1.7 trillion in US stock market value in two days. Dow Plunges To Worst Level Since December.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is now at its lowest level since early December. The S&P 500 lost an estimated $1.737 trillion in value in two days. Bounced hard off of something 150 pts in seconds. The bounces are inevitable; traders are going on hunting trips hoping to catch bears out.

Samson: Iraq is reassured that the production and export of oil are not affected by the Corona virus
27th February, 2020
The Iraqi Ministry of Oil confirmed that its preventive measures in oil installations to prevent corona virus did not affect the production and export of crude oil.
Ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency "conscious": "The ministry and since the beginning of the emergence of Corona took several preventive measures, especially for Chinese oil companies. "And that "the measures were to postpone the arrival of Chinese workers who enjoy holidays to Iraq, as well as allocating Health awareness teams to define this disease and ways to prevent it, whether for Iraqi or foreign workers in the oil fields. ”
Jihad added, “Preventive measures did not affect the production and export of Iraqi crude oil,” stressing that “there are no symptoms of Corona virus on workers in the fields.” Oil." The committee of Diwaniya Order No. 55 of 2020 decided to suspend official working hours in all educational institutions and universities, and to close public shops for a period of 10 days. It also decided to ban travel to 9 countries and examine arrivals from those countries.
This comes after the Iraqi Ministry of Health announced today the registration of the first infection with the "Corona" virus in the capital, Baghdad. LINK

Samson: The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are considering holding "virtual" spring meetings with the spread of Corona
27th February, 2020
Informed sources said that the increasing concerns within the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank about the spread of the new corona virus led them to consider reducing the spring meetings scheduled for April or holding them via internet conferences
About ten thousand government officials, journalists, businessmen and representatives of civil society from around the world will participate in the meetings of the two institutions that take place between April 17 and 19 and will be held in a crowded area in the center of Washington, DC, where their headquarters are
Financial markets have fallen sharply in recent days due to news of the rapid spread of the virus in Europe. Italy announced that more than 400 people were infected with the virus, and it was confirmed that people who visited Italy in Brazil, Algeria, Austria, Croatia, Greece and other countries were infected
In the past few days, the IMF has warned of more economic damage due to the spread of the Corona virus outside China and the reduction of its forecast for global growth in 2020
The spread of the virus raises fears within the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank that the mixing of delegations of the 89 member states during the spring meetings may contribute to the problem inevitably
Officials from the two institutions and members of governments said that talking about canceling the entire meetings is premature, but they are considering several options to amend them. They added that no decision had been taken yet, noting that this would depend heavily on efforts to contain the virus in the coming days and weeks
Options include reducing the number of meetings, canceling additional activities, and reducing the number of delegates who will travel to Washington. Another alternative is to conduct “virtual” meetings over the Internet, while the possibility of holding the meetings as usual continues to exist
In response to inquiries from Reuters, the IMF and the bank said that the senior leadership teams were closely monitoring the spread of the Corona virus
"The issue of the arrangements for the Spring Meetings is coordinated by the Fund and the Bank with the respective secretariat, and it is our main liaison office with shareholders. We are awaiting a decision on the scope and scope of the Spring Meetings in the coming days," the statement said
The two international institutions previously canceled their annual meetings in the American capital after the attacks of September 11, 2001, and then took place in November of the same year in Ottawa, Canada
Samson: The world incurs more than $ 3 trillion in losses due to Corona
27th February, 2020
The number of new cases of coronavirus emerging outside China, by the end of Wednesday, exceeded the number of cases of the disease in China within one day, according to the World Health Organization.
Italy has become a hotbed of disease outbreak in Europe, and Iran has become a hotbed of outbreaks in the Middle East, which has helped the virus appear in a large number of countries within days. And Pakistan, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Romania and Algeria announced the first cases of HIV infection, and Brazil announced the registration of a case of the virus, as the first case in Latin America. The rapid spread of the disease during the past few days afflicted the world markets with panic and panic, and the global stock exchanges lost billions of dollars.
Stock markets around the world have lost about $ 3.3 trillion during the last four trading days, and the American Wall Street has suffered severe losses during the past two days, as the Dow Jones index lost about 1900 points. The New York Times confirmed that the Wall Street Stock Exchange will be subject to the largest losses compared to other stock exchanges in the world, given the complexity of trade links between major American technology companies and their Chinese counterparts. Oil prices fell to their lowest level in a year.
European losses and in Europe, European stock losses continued in the last five trading sessions, the British "FTSE" index fell 0.5 percent to 6979.8 points, and the French "CAC" index decreased by 1.08 percent, recording 5643.9 points, as the DAX index decreased "The German increased by 2 percent, to record 12,790.5 points.
In Asia, Japanese stocks continued their losses during the past days, and in Wednesday's session they closed at the lowest level in more than four months. Chinese factories also continued to close their doors, the movement of ships between the ports was disrupted, hundreds of flights and tourism, dozens of carnivals and celebrations were canceled, and dozens of recreational parks were closed. Since the outbreak of the disease in late December, nearly 81,000 people worldwide have been infected, and nearly 3,000 people have died. LINK

Samson: Infection with a prominent Iranian lawmaker with the Corona virus
27th February, 2020
The head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian parliament, Mujtaba Dhul Nur, has been infected with the Corona virus, Russia Today reported.
Dhul Nur said that he imposed a quarantine on himself after he was confirmed to be infected with the Corona virus, stressing that Iran would be able to overcome the virus.
It is reported that Dhul Nur is also a deputy for the city of Qom in Parliament. Earlier, the Iranian authorities announced that the results of the analyzes, conducted by Erg Hariri, Deputy Minister of Health confirmed that he was infected with the Corona virus. LINK

Samson: Corona Kills Iranian Riyal
Iranian riyal reached its weakest level in a year against the dollar, on Wednesday, as a sharp increase in the number of cases of coronavirus led to the closure of most of the country's borders, threatening non-oil exports, which are the main lifeblood of its economy.
According to the "Punpast.com" website for exchange rates, which tracks the free market, the dollar was offered at a high level of 158 thousand and 500 riyals, while its official price is 42 thousand riyals, which implies a 10 percent decline in the currency from it a week ago.
The number of Iranian deaths from the Corona virus rose to 19, the highest number outside China, which prompted several countries to stop flights and most of their neighbors to close their borders with them.
Already, increased pressure from US sanctions is undermining Iran's oil industry and reducing its crude exports. “The entire market is currently in shock,” said Buya Zainali, director of exports for an Iranian pistachio producer and exporter.
Closing the border and canceling flights is certain to deepen Iran's economic isolation, and it relies on trade ties with its neighbors to partially offset the devastating impact of the sanctions that Washington reimposed in 2018 after it withdrew from a nuclear agreement it and other major powers had signed with Tehran in 2015. "The economic risks are great," said Henri Rom, analyst at Eurasia Group. Non-oil exports to neighboring countries were the lifeblood of Iran during the past year. "If this temporary closure of the borders continues indefinitely, Iran may face a serious economic crisis at a time when the economy is already improving," he added.
The International Monetary Fund predicts that Iran’s growth will stabilize this year after shrinking 9.5 percent last year in the wake of US sanctions that have undermined oil sales and pushed annual inflation close to 40 percent. The currency’s decline may exacerbate inflation and harm domestic consumption, while falling exports may cause more unemployment, which some analysts expect to exceed 20 percent this year. LINK

Samson: Trump announces a $ 3 billion arms deal with India
02/24/2020 13:56:24
US President Donald Trump stressed that his country is looking to provide "the best and most intimidating military equipment" to India, in addition to enhancing economic cooperation with it.
Trump's comments came in a speech he made at the beginning of his visit to India, today, Monday, in front of a crowd of Indian audiences in the western city of Ahmedabad, speaking after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Trump said that the United States is about to sign a deal to provide India with military helicopters and other military equipment worth $3 billion, noting that Washington and New Delhi are committed to working to stop the terrorists and fight their ideology.
Trump also confirmed continuing to work with Pakistan to eliminate terrorism, expressing his hope to ease future tensions between all South Asian countries. Trump said he would discuss with Modi efforts to develop economic ties between the two countries, adding that Washington was in the early stages of the path to a "incredible" trade deal with New Delhi.
Trump indicated that he hoped for rapid progress in improving the investment climate in India, and that the United States was looking forward to developing space cooperation with India. Trump (along with his wife Melania) arrived Monday morning in Ahmedabad on his first two-day official visit to India. Trump will hold a meeting with Modi in Ahmedabad, then he will visit some of the tourist attractions in India before heading to New Delhi, where bilateral meetings will be held between the American and Indian officials on Tuesday.

ChrisC: Dow down almost 800. It was always said a market crash will precede the RV. Watch the cattle stampede.
I, me personally, am not worried about the Corona virus but it is jamming up Chinese businesses bad. This had to happen once the supply of Chinese products slowed.
IMO this is all a masterfully planned event. I watched Trump say in an interview last week that Corona virus would be over by April. How in the heck would he know that a supposed worldwide pandemic would be over in a couple of months?
Corona virus panic, market crash, bank collapse, nationalization of collapsed banks, RV, in my conspiratorial minded sequence of events. Of course it may not happen anything like that.
Mr. Harfax: If you are going to implement a new economic system based on new trade deals/agreements ….you'll have to address the old economic system. How do you replace one with the other? One option - You vacate, destroy or raze to the ground the old system. You take it down to nothing and replace it to something new......
ChrisC: Here is the BS about this whole deal, and this is IMO. This virus has a patent connected with it, so not natural but man made. They already have a vaccine, that was known weeks ago, but it will not be available for 18 months or so. Plenty of time to let it do what it will do, which I still think is not that much.
Mr. Harfax is right, you have to handle the old system and that is what I have been warning about for some time now. Do NOT be like the kid on my boy's T Ball team years ago that was just looking around picking flowers in center field.
He didn't think he was in any danger since nobody had hit a ball even back to the pitcher's mound yet. My boy got up to bat and it looked like Jose Canseco hit the ball. That poor unsuspecting kid took it right in the chest and dropped like he had been shot with a deer rifle.
The coach ran out and said "breathe Bobby breathe!". Don't be picking flowers when this happens.
MaOakes12: Chris, the info. I heard concerning the corona virus was that it was manufactured in a lab in China. A firm in Texas stated they have a cure for it here in the US. Just like the HIV virus all this crap is planned by the so called "elite".
Just like the so called "crash of 1929 it was planned. The big boys sold and when the price reached their buying level they started buying again. The stock market is manipulated like no other business in the world.
Time marches on and the money "boys" know when, where, how, etc. it is all going to play out.
Don961: Al-Nasr Coalition: Allawi hides his cabinet from Parliament, and Representatives knew the CV of the nominated ministers through the media! LINK

MilitiaMan: 72 hours from now is Thursday. The President of Parliament set a date for a confidence vote for Thursday.
So, since Pompeo rang up Allawi on the phone yesterday, maybe Allawi was given the nod to let the names fly... We shall see on that. All the while we wait, there has been more data coming out of the CBI. The below is not about Banks.. That would suggest the Banks already have been accounted for. So for the smaller folks, they need to get the 2019 data reported by the 29th..
Then there is the laws that are in place for those that are in the need to know realm. Like large investors, corporations, conglomerates, etc.. So, the seemingly syncronized data is in our favor they Monetary Reforms are coming to fruition.
The demands of the Citizens are still front and center. Don't forget that the new designate PM told us in the speech of his recently that the personal needs as in economic area priority! imo ~ MM

Don961: I served in Iraq ... Trump plans to appoint a security advisor of Arab descent
Arab and International 02/22/2020 10:43 326 Editor: ha
Baghdad today - follow up
The US CNN reported on Saturday (February 22, 2020) that US President Donald Trump is planning to appoint a local official in the state of Florida who served in Iraq and Afghanistan as a security advisor.
The network reported, "Julia Nshiwat, who is in Florida who is responsible for dealing with natural disasters, will replace Adm. Peter Brown, the head of the Coast Guard, who took over as President's Homeland Security advisor about six months ago."
In its new role, Nshiwat will protect the United States from terrorist threats, reinforce protection from cyber attacks, and respond to natural disasters.
She had worked for the US State Department during Trump's term, and the office of the director of national intelligence in the administration of former President George W. Bush.
Nishiwat, of Jordanian origin, is a former intelligence officer in the army, has served in Afghanistan and Iraq, and during her work she has directed a senior operations officer for terrorist network assessments in Asia and the Middle East.
And Trump's decision to raise the position of homeland security advisor to the same position occupied by the President's National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien, with whom Nichiwat worked for the State Department.
And Jordanian media said that "Nshiyat belongs to a clan that lives in the city of Salt (central of the Kingdom), and that she speaks Arabic fluently despite her origins in the United States." LINK

2Cents: WE have been discussing the following:
Our understanding.......Frank's teams have reported that the Fab 4 has been unhappy with the failure of the CBI to make the "Article 2 speech" on two different occasions over the last few weeks.
They have been given 30 days from the seating of the government to stop the currency sales of the USD for conducting business in the country which would require official Article VIII acceptance.
It does not seem logical to be unhappy on one hand for failure to act, but yet, give 30 days after the government seated. The Fab 4 obviously, by the reports given, expected action of some sort notwithstanding the fact that the government is not passed.
That being said, are we clearly now looking for two very distinct events separated by as much as 30 days after government seated, RD/RV ------->RI just as WS posted so long ago?
If so, could we expect the RD/RV just prior, during or just after Allawi getting a vote of confidence and prior to the 1/12 system of disbursements being made Tuesday to the Kurds?? Could the "30 day" timeframe be referring to the RI allowing the new government to complete something specific to allow the IMF to report Iraq as accepting Article VIII obligations??
Time will tell but IMO, all should be thinking of their game plan if RD/RV occurs absent the RI......
I would love, but certainly do not expect, a short WS reply as to the above....
If there is any construed opinion here, please accept as IMO
Hammy14: 2cents, in the YouTube video yesterday, Frank was talking about the tellers getting trained by someone other than Iraq. I believe he referred to these trainers as an international group of some sort, although he didn’t give their name, he did say this move “guarantees” they are reinstating their currency. Just as we have suspected all along, IMO.
2Cents: Hey Hammy.........I agree that they must be reinstating at some point soon and by reports, within 30 days of new government seating.......What I am trying to point out is that we may very well see the RD/RV well before........Just trying to point this out for the "family" so all are thinking of their game plan if that occurs. I am not saying that it might not happen simultaneously within the "30 days" but am trying to have all think what they plan to do if not......
Don961: International Monetary is assessing his advice to emerging markets
Saturday 22nd February 2020
Capitals / Follow-up
How can we make capital flows safer for emerging market economies? Finding the right answer to this question is crucial to financial stability, growth, and jobs.
"It states that the fund is reassessing the advice it was giving to emerging markets and how they fit into the current situation," the International Monetary Fund director "Cristalina Georgievia" wrote an article for the Financial Times.
"Emerging markets benefit from an abundance of external capital, which can be used to fund new ideas and critical infrastructure," she says. But emerging markets also face episodes of large fluctuations in capital flows, which can harm financial stability and the outlook for companies and households. Addressing capital fluctuations can be a daunting task, because there is not much consensus on the right mix of economic policy measures and timing.
Looking at the 2018 episode of capital outflows from emerging markets, we find that Brazil and Malaysia actually interfered in foreign exchange markets to support their currencies, while Colombia and South Africa barely interfered in the exchange rate, while some central banks raised interest rates while others He did not.
Heavy intervention often mitigates currency losses, but not always.
All this raises questions, including for the International Monetary Fund, so we rethink and update our advice to member states
The goal since then is to provide country-specific advice on the appropriate mix of policies needed to maintain financial growth and stability. The new IMF’s “Integrated Policy Framework” will reassess the costs and benefits of four instruments - monetary policy, macro prudential policy, exchange rate interventions, and capital flow measures - to help stabilize economies vulnerable to domestic and external shocks. More importantly, the integrated aspect of the new framework will explain how these tools interact with each other and with country conditions.
The current framework of the International Monetary Fund, based on more traditional economic thinking, directed members broadly towards the use of the exchange rate to absorb shocks, and this approach provides a good convergence of how advanced economies adapt to external shocks and exchange rate movements.
But the current approach can ignore the important characteristics of emerging markets that change their economies ’response to external shocks, and may require a different recipe.
A recent study indicates that although emerging markets are deeply integrated into global trade, their trade is invoiced disproportionately in dollars, and therefore flexible exchange rates provide limited isolation. LINK

Don961: The effects of Corona virus on the Iraqi economy
THURSDAY, 20-02-2020, PM 4:47 KARAR AL-ASADI
Written by: Baqir Jabr Al-Zubaidi
The global economy is witnessing a sharp negative decline in the effects on the global economy exceeding $ 1.5 trillion in early March, while gold prices have risen significantly as a safe haven in the fever of conflicting stocks and global currency prices, while oil prices witness fluctuations and expectations of its decline as a result of the economic recession that the world will live in the future.
With the work of the resigned government continuing, the Iraqi market is witnessing a severe recession for internal and external reasons, foremost of which is the Corona epidemic.
The reassured brothers reassured employees and retirees that the salaries were insured for the current year and the coming years, and there was no need for unjustified panic and not listening to malicious rumors.
That the Iraqi dinar retains its value with the presence of the financial reserve in the central bank, which has witnessed growth exceeding $ 70 billion, knowing that the central bank reserve called "reserve generations" can protect the stability of the Iraqi dinar price until the coming years.
We call on the government in charge to form a specialized working group to study the negative effects of Corona virus on the Iraqi economy and develop scientific and practical solutions, to face the recession in the Iraqi market, develop plans and study a solution to the "dilemma of high unemployment" and stimulate investment and benefit from the experiences of the International Monetary Fund to reformulate the provisions of the budget in 2020 .

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iran, Abdel Nasser Hamti, announced on Saturday that the decision of the International Financial Action Working Group (FATF) to re-include Iran in the so-called black list will not affect the foreign trade and exchange rate in the country.

He added that "this political and unprofessional behavior began since the summer of 2016, sometimes through non-professional excuses by representatives of America and its allies in the" FATF "group, and at other times through attempts to interfere with the experts' reports."
He pointed out that "Iran, as is well known to the people, was able, despite the period of unjust embargoes and extreme pressure policies against the monetary and financial system, to find monetary and financial ties with the world that are not banable, outside the framework of the International Financial Workers' Group (FATF).

Walkingstick: Presidential Message on the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima
NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENSE
Issued on: February 19, 2020
In the long record of American heroism in combat, few episodes capture the indomitable will and the stouthearted spirit of the American warrior better than the triumphs on the island of Iwo Jima in early 1945. Seventy-five years later, we pay tribute to the immeasurable sacrifice of those killed in action on Iwo Jima, and we honor the heroic efforts of all who took part in one of the most costly and significant battles in our country’s history.
By February 1945, despite American forces possessing aerial and naval supremacy, the Japanese forces at Iwo Jima were well dug-in and prepared to fight to the last man for the strategically important airfields on this small piece of land. This was the first time in World War II that the Japanese were defending what they considered home soil. For 5 weeks, our Marines and Navy sailors endured a harrowing trial by fire, fighting to secure this remote volcanic island from more than 20,000 determined Japanese soldiers. Nearly 7,000 Americans died in the effort.

For 5 weeks, our Marines and Navy sailors endured a harrowing trial by fire, fighting to secure this remote volcanic island from more than 20,000 determined Japanese soldiers. Nearly 7,000 Americans died in the effort.
The fighting on Iwo Jima was some of the bloodiest and most costly in all of World War II, but it also gave rise to some of the greatest examples of patriotism and heroism in our Nation’s history, inspiring Admiral Chester Nimitz’s famous statement that “uncommon valor was a common virtue.” Few images evoke as much emotion from the American soul as Joe Rosenthal’s photo of six Marines raising our Flag atop Mount Suribachi in the opening days of the battle. In addition, 27 Medals of Honor—the highest honor given to members of the military—were awarded for actions of conspicuous gallantry during the battle. Of these, 22 medals went to Marines, making up more than 25 percent of the total Medals of Honor awarded to Marines throughout the entirety of the war.
Among the heroes at Iwo Jima were non-combatants, like Rabbi Roland Gittelsohn. In the days following the battle, Rabbi Gittelsohn delivered a powerful, stirring message at the Fifth Marine Division cemetery on Iwo Jima. There, he stated, “Here lie officers and privates, blacks and whites, rich and poor together. Here are Protestants, Catholics, and Jews together. Here no man prefers another because of his color.” For his service ministering to men in the thick of the combat zone, Rabbi Gittelsohn was awarded three service ribbons, and today his words resonate as a powerful testament to the founding principle of our Nation that liberty and democracy are the rights of all men and women of every race, religion, and creed.
On this anniversary, we honor those who answered the call of duty and ensured that the forces of freedom emerged victorious in that fateful battle. As a Nation, we remain forever indebted to the Greatest Generation.

Other articles also talk about: either late this week, or early next week...…….
In conclusion,,, listen to Frank and WS,,, not some of this contradicting news that comes out of Iraq...Much of it comes from Maliki's newspapers (that he owns)………..Of course, all of the above is Blessings family...…….

Pimpy ...I talked about the currency that was being bought by Iraq from the public. They were spending somewhere between a billion to $1.5 billion per month in oil revenues to buy currency off the open market and at that time that was 70% of the currency that was out there...what I recently learned was...they destroyed 70% of the currency...we know that less than 5%...is in the country. I still think it's lower than that...if you look at all the goods they have and you try to come out with a rate...you're probably looking at 4 or 5 cents. That's not unrealistic...in the paperwork I saw a rate of $1.34...The BTI report shows you two rates...$1.71 and $1.13. There's good arguments why you shouldn't trust those. It has to do more with the money supply that's out there...I think the rate's gonna be $1.34. It's gonna be locked there for about 3 years...
Bruce ...we have heard that the Forex will update their rates tomorrow [Wednesday] morning between 2 & 2:30 in the morning – and we understand that the Iraqi Dinar will be one of those which will update to a new rate... ...the fact that all banks have received their final instructions and the fact that yesterday the redemption centers and Tier 1 banks have got their final briefing for a little over 3 hours – that put us in a position to be able to get started anytime now...I have heard from another source entirely that this will be a week for us like no other – Now, I know we’ve heard things like that in the past... I can just tell you maybe this is a week like no other – It could very well be...
Special Restored Republic via a GCR Report as of Feb. 12 2020
(Excerpts) Compiled by Judy Byington
Judy Note: Mike Cottrell said that “The Source” called him on Sun. 9 Feb. and claimed that the whole operation was and I quote, “in process.” “The Source” also called Okie on Sun. 9 Feb. and reported that the reset was in process. “The Source” was an attorney, federal agent, Director of North American Treasury Redemption and representative of 27 Royal Chinese families who held the gold bullion that backed the Global Currency Reset. If anyone knew what was going to happen on the GCR it would be “The Source.”
Happenings of Wed. 12 Feb: On Sun. 9 Feb. “The Source” told Okie that we could get the 800#s by Wed. 12 Feb, plus that something big was to happen on Wall Street on Wed. 12 Feb. On that same Sun. 9 Feb. “The Source” also told Mike Cottrell that something big was going to happen in the Markets on Wed. 12 Feb. Bruce claimed that it was possible Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) could start Wed. 12 Feb. about mid to late morning. MarkZ said all sources including Zurich and his Paymaster were looking for liquidity by Wed. 12 Feb. or Thurs. 13 Feb. MarkZ’s Wall Street guys felt there would be major movements in the Markets on Wed. 12 Feb. Iraq wanted this to go on a Wed. Kuwait went on a Wed.

Wed. 12 Feb. MarkZ: Asia Contacts were expecting liquidity on Thurs. 13 Feb. Snake: No one can give an exact timeline for liquidity, but we were very close. Exchange centers were on an hour alert and expecting the reset this week.
Recent History of the GCR:
End of Nov. 2019: Mike Cottrell verified that President Trump signed the Global Currency Reset release date over to the military and we would see it very soon. With a purpose of stopping corruption, the Debt Jubilee would take place at the same time as the GCR. The Debt Jubilee would zero out current derivatives (bank debt including mortgages) and put gold/asset-backed currencies of the world at parity with each other.
Wed. 5 Feb: Reliable sources verified that the Global Currency Rest officially began after President Trump was vindicated from indictment by the US Congress.
Mon. 10 Feb. Paymasters: A well-connected contact reported that Paymasters were put on an hour-to-hour alert on Mon. 10 Feb, while Bruce claimed that Banks and Redemption Center staff received their final instructions on Mon. 10 Feb. and Tues. 11 Feb.

Fri. 14 Feb: Evidently President Trump was scheduled to be in Geneva on Fri. 14 Feb, while Sources claimed that Sat. 15 Feb. would be our drop dead date for the reset.
On the Restored Republic: So far the Democrats have wasted millions of taxpayer dollars,178 days on impeachment and three years in a witch hunt to destroy a US President duly elected by The People. One wonders why? Glen Beck explains in this must-watch about Trump, Democrats and the Ukraine Scandal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCSwqca8KXU
A. Feb. 12 2020 Morning Chat with MarkZ: https://www.twitch.tv/theoriginalmarkz

B. Feb. 12 2020 3:56 am EST Money Market Riggers and the New Financial System: The Money Market Riggers: We are Living like Medieval Serfs
1. By experimenting with quantitative easing and negative interest rates we were living like medieval serfs. Central Banks were not tied to checks and balance audits.
2. The new Quantum Financial System had accounts for each and every human being on this planet. Real money was linked with gold.
3. A New Monetary System to end the Cabal’s corruption, usury, and manipulation was set to be run on a quantum computer, based on an orbiting satellite and protected by Secret Space Programs, to ensure that it could not be hacked.
4. The purpose of the new financial system was to put an end to Cabal corruption, usury, and manipulation within the whole banking world. The key was to implement limitations that would prevent corrupted Banksters from gaining excessive and dishonest profits.
5. All Cabal assets were to be seized by the Alliance and redistributed to benefit humanity.
6. The RV has evolved beyond a simple revaluation and currency. It would be handled through the Quantum Financial System (QFS). The QFS has accounts for each and every human being on this planet. Compensation funds would be given to every human being, everything the Cabal has stolen would be directly deposited into individual QFS accounts.
7. The Quantum Financial System would be publicly explained after the full disclosure event, as the enactment of GESARA – Global Economic Security Reformation Act – was announced.
8. Assets would be connected to a true algorithm that predicted actual prices based on production and demand, ending Market rigging.
9. The QFS would be enacted with:
Implementation of the Gold Standard
Debt Elimination
20% flat tax on new goods only
Elimination of all income tax
Elimination of government subsidized pharmaceutical drug pushers

Samson: Legal: Iraq will face international sanctions if the Security Council does not submit the results of the investigation to the killing of the demonstrators
9th February, 2020
Today, Sunday, Iraqi legal expert Ali al-Tamimi revealed that Iraq will face international sanctions in the event that the results of investigations by killing demonstrators are not handed over to the UN Security Council.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Akhbariya: “The Security Council depends on gradualism in decisions. It starts from alerting and warning, then forming committees, preventing travel and the economic blockade, then switching to military sanctions and guardianship when states do not abide by resolutions in accordance with Articles 38 to 51 of the Charter of the United Nations.”
He added: "If Iraq does not comply, we will be in front of it, just as the violation of human rights is the most serious impact on international law and the United Nations Charter. It is the ones that bring down the countries as happened to Iraq before 2003 in resolution 688 and longitude 36 and 32."
Al-Tamimi said, "This was accompanied by the American bill proposed by the American Congress on the American State Department, this law differs from the American treasury decisions, which is moral," stressing, "But this law, which will be legislated after 90 days, has an international character and may allow the use of military executive force." Inside Iraq, if the situation continues as it is."

He added, "A committee of lawyers began preparing lists of names of those who participated in these crimes in order to submit them to the International Criminal Court."
It is noteworthy that he committed repressive crimes against demonstrators in Baghdad, Najaf and Basra, leaving a number of martyrs, and wounded. LINK

Samson: Legal: Trying 100 killers, dissolving parliament, and early elections are the solutions for Allawi to win the demonstrators
11th February, 2020
Today, Tuesday, legal expert Ali al-Tamimi confirmed that Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi had two legal steps to win the demonstrators.
He said in a statement, "Al-Ikhbaria" received a copy of it, that the first step is "coordination with the Supreme Judicial Council to form a specialized court to prosecute the killing of the demonstrators, who numbered as many as 100 killers, as indicated by statistics. With this move, an international legal move on the International Criminal Court to try those who carry Foreign nationality and the formation of a team of law attorneys for that."
He added that the second step is "holding early elections in coordination with the President of the Republic to dissolve parliament in accordance with Article 64 of the Constitution and calling for early elections under the supervision of the United Nations," noting that "if he does so, he will win the people."

Samson: Oil prices are taking their breath after the sharp decline under the pressure of Corona
11th February, 2020
