Walkingstick:  WikiLeaks" on behalf of the designated Prime Minister of Iraq: an American hostile to Iran and Syria

 Wednesday, March 18, 2020

Yesterday, Barham Saleh, the Iraqi president, assigned former Najaf governor, Adnan Al-Zorfi, to form a new government that is to choose the last moments, which did not win the support of all the effective Iraqi forces, most notably the "Building Alliance" (a coalition that includes Hadi al-Amiri, Nuri al-Maliki, Faleh al-Fayyad, Khamis al-Khanjar, and others. ...), which was explained by Zorafi's refusal for many reasons, the most prominent of which can be considered his political bias towards the Washington camp since 2004, and the suspicion of his involvement in burning the Iranian consulate and the shrine of the founder of the "Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council" Muhammad Baqir al-Hakim, in Najaf

However, who is Zarrafi who differed over the assignment of political parties and movements in Baghdad?

In one of the WikiLeaks documents leaked from the State Department telegrams bearing the number (09BAGHDAD1506_a), Al-Zarfi presented himself during his meeting with the American "reconstruction teams officers" on June 2, 2009, as a "consensus candidate to transfer Najaf beyond the era of political fighting." ». 

Al-Zarfi, who holds American citizenship and speaks fluent English (as described in the telegram), said that the main goal that he will work on during his assumption of office is "to combat and dismantle the Iranian and Syrian spy networks in Najaf."

During the meeting, the newly-appointed Prime Minister talked about the details of his meetings with the religious authority in Najaf, Mr. Ali Sistani, and then complained to the Americans with “open and systematic” about his bitter experience with the former governor, Asaad Abu Jalal and his deputy, Abdul Hussein Al-Abtan, saying that they were not satisfied. He expelled those close to him, but also assassinated his most important political allies. 

To confirm the bad relationship with them, Al-Zrafi revealed to the Americans that "after leaving office, Abu Jalal took the furniture of the office and the house, and he refused to return the motorcade." As for his relationship with Abtan, I tell him that "at one of the funerals he attacked me and described me as an agent of the Americans, and he said that he will send me back to America." And according to what was stated in the telegram: "Al-Zarfi smiled with fraud and said," Maybe I will return him to Iran. " When asked about his two Sadrist representatives, Mohsen Sharif Razzaq and Hassan Hamza Al-Zubaidi, Al-Zarfi described them as “activists and working without fatigue”. Sharif described him as a "more moderate moderate than a chest, but he is afraid to meet the Americans."

During their talk about the security situation, Al-Zarfi told the American officers that he intended to make several security changes, and he repeated - according to the document - "more than once that this will happen slowly and cautiously during the next year", stressing that his primary concern is "the operations and cells of the Syrian and Iranian intelligence in Najaf" . He pointed out that he intends to establish a "separate intelligence cell to work with the American forces in the province," recognizing that the use of the province's funds to create this apparatus "may be illegal."

And it appears in the telegram that when he was asked directly about the change of the director of police, the former commander of the Badr Organization and close to Abtan, Major General Abdel Karim Al-Mayahi, he responded firmly and in one word, "patience," adding that "he will not be the first official to be changed, and it takes time."

The document states that the designated prime minister considers the “Mahdi Army” and the “Badr Organization” two outlaws, operating on behalf of Iran and threatening the province and US forces. Al-Zorfi said that Abtan "gave official clothes, badges, and government cars to people to carry out operations against the American forces." 

"I have many indications that Iran was involved in the attacks, but I will now prevent prosecution of the forces responsible for the operations," he added. At the end of the meeting, Al-Zorfi told the American officers, "I hope to tell you that the Sadrists in Najaf are peaceful, but some of them are practicing violence, to target the security of the province and your forces." As for the impression that Al-Zrafi left among his American speakers, he is "the owner of Ham's head, and he has a number of hostile relations in Najaf.

Walkingstick:  Member of the conquest: It was the US embassy that nominated Al-Zarfi for the post of prime minister

3/18/2020 5:54:43 PM  

Baghdad / Obelisk: Wednesday, 18 March 2020, MP from the Al-Fateh bloc, Mukhtar Al-Musawi, accused the President of the Republic, Barham Saleh, of violating the constitution and assigning what he described as the US embassy candidate to form the Iraqi government.

Al-Musawi said that Barham Salih penetrated the Iraqi constitution by not assigning the candidate of the largest bloc to form the government, noting that the conquest and the allied blocs presented more than one candidate to the President of the Republic, but the president did not respond to us and did not take their approval before assigning him to Al-Zrafi.

He pointed out that the President of the Republic not only violated the constitution, but rather commissioned the candidate of the American embassy to form a government with the help of some political parties.

In turn, the official in charge of forming the Iraqi government, Adnan Al-Zarfi, did not mention, on Tuesday 17 March 2020, the fate of the American forces present in Iraq in his speech on the assignment.

Observers noted that Al-Zarfi did not mention the parliament’s decision to remove the American forces from the country, which is the most important file among the demonstrators and political forces alike.

Meanwhile, the US Secretary of State, Al-Zarfi, blessed his assignment to form a government, noting US and international support for him. Certainly, this will not happen, unless Zarfi takes care of US interests in Iraq.

Al-Zrafi ignored in the government program speech, the American violations of Iraqi sovereignty, the most recent of which were the headquarters of the popular crowd in Anbar, Salahuddin, Babil, and civilian facilities at Karbala International Airport.

The Shiite forces in a meeting attended by the head of the State of Law coalition Nuri al-Maliki and the head of the wisdom stream Ammar al-Hakim and the head of the Fatah alliance Hadi al-Amiri as well as the National Security Adviser Faleh al-Fayyad and Hammam Hammoudi and the Fadhila Party refused to assign the head of the parliamentary victory bloc, Adnan al-Zrafi to head the government.

To that, according to analyzes received in the obelisk, the American authorities appear to be intent on providing full support to Zarfi, hoping to enable him to confront the anti-American forces in Iraq and those seeking to end their presence there.

 The announcement of the Al-Fateh Alliance, the rejection of President Barham Salih’s decision to assign Adnan al-Zrafi to form the Iraqi government, is a glimpse of the expected confrontation between two political camps. The first is described as related to the American axis, while the second moves in contradictory space.

Al-Zorfi's assignment has faltered more than once in the past two days, before President Saleh signed the decision, defying a Shiite refusal.

Jawad al-Talibawi, a prominent field commander in al-Asaib, said that the position of most of the resistance fighters against Adnan al-Zarfi. He added: We do not fear him or his masters, referring to the United States.

Foreign disinformation campaign on fake national quarantine trying to cause panic: officials

Trump administration officials say a foreign disinformation campaign is trying to spread fear amid the coronavirus pandemic, with false rumors of a nationwide quarantine and more.

A senior administration official told Fox News on Monday that it is imperative to ensure the information about the novel coronavirus is coming from verified outlets.

“There is an ongoing effort to spread disinformation and cause undue panic,” the official told Fox News, specifically referring to the rumors of a nationwide quarantine. “There is no national quarantine for the United States.”

The official added: “It’s important we remain vigilant in ensuring our information is coming from verified sources.”

The Associated Press reported that federal officials are describing the disinformation as part of a deliberate effort by a foreign entity to sow fears inside the U.S., though they did not specify which foreign entity may be involved.

The White House National Security Council took public steps to tamp down rumors, tweeting late Sunday that “Text message rumors of a national #quarantine are FAKE.”

“There is no national lockdown,” the NSC tweeted. “@CDCgov has and will continue to post the latest guidance on #COVID19. #coronavirus.”

Acting Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Ken Cuccinelli also weighed in Monday, warning against “serious” disinformation.

“Hey folks, we’re not shutting down the United States,” Cuccinelli tweeted Monday. “Lots of serious mis-information being peddled out there!”

Katie Miller, press secretary for Vice President Pence, also shot down rumors of a nationwide “curfew.”

“This is not correct,” Miller tweeted in response to a reporter on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the Department of Health and Human Services reportedly was hit with a cyberattack on Saturday. Bloomberg first reported the attack, which was aimed to slow the agency’s computers. Bloomberg reported that the attack did not have any meaningful impact but was part of broader "disruption and disinformation" efforts. The NSC tweet reportedly was related to the hack and disinformation concerns.

The FBI declined to comment on the attack.

One source told Fox News that the attack was “likely” a “state-sponsored attack.”

The warnings come as the nation, and the world, grapple with the novel coronavirus, which causes COVID-19. The World Health Organization designated the virus as a global pandemic last week.

President Trump announced a national emergency on Friday. The president also announced a temporary halt on air travel to the United States from Europe, now including flights from the United Kingdom, but excluding those carrying cargo.

The announcement came as major sporting and other events were called off or postponed, businesses across the country instituted telework policies, government buildings and schools shuttered and other disruptions rocked the nation, amid efforts to curb the transmission of the virus.

The Federal Reserve also slashed interest rates to near zero and said it would buy $700 billion in Treasury securities in an aggressive step to insulate the U.S. economy from the pandemic.

The outbreak is believed to have originated at an animal and seafood market in the city of Wuhan, China.

As of Monday morning, there were more than 3,700 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the United States, in 49 states, including Washington, D.C. The U.S., so far, has seen 68 coronavirus-related deaths.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus.

According to WHO, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.

Alliance's Possible Corona-Virus Cover Op 2020 -- Step By Step / by Ed

The following was found on 8kun:

Get Civilians and Children off the streets, out of schools and away from public events. This prevents the cabal from doing mass-killings for distraction or to take revenge.

Quarantine provides cover for mass arrests. Self-quarantine is the world leader and the Hollywood celeb version of the CEO mass resignations.

Shutting down airports and borders = no escape for cabal. (Earthquakes in Glen Falls, NY is destroying the remaining Deep Underground Military Base hideouts and shuttles.)

Capture/execute cabal figureheads and celebs swiftly without having to red-pill the public which can come later when the dust has settled.

0% Payroll tax, extend the 4/15 deadline for income tax filing to restructure the IRS. Cutoff tax revenue to shutoff the IRS money being funneled to the cabal.

Draining the swamp operation is disguised as a Public Health & Safety response.

The financial economic catastrophe is coming to Iraq as soon as we imagined

 3/10/2020 6:20:40 PM    Baghdad / Obelisk: 

Dr.. Thaer al-Fili

The financial economic catastrophe is coming to Iraq as soon as we imagined.

And it started today: with a decrease in the Brent mix (Brent oil), which is the global measure of the price of oil, it began today at $ 32 per barrel (after what was before the spread of the Crohn’s virus at $ 62) ((The cost of our production in Iraq is now $ 12 per barrel) means our net resources decreased from ($ 50 per barrel - $ 20 per barrel.) Meaning that the annual budget resources decreased from ((80 billion dollars - to 32 billion dollars only), meaning that the annual budget deficit will rise to more than 60% ؜.

This deficit will cause a complete collapse in the Iraqi economy if it continues for another year. It will cause the state to fail economically and the possibility of declaring bankruptcy completely. Which means the collapse of Iraq as a country and becomes one of the economically failed countries.

And the nature of the national collapse means that Iraq will completely lose the state’s fundamentals, and it is natural for division, fragmentation and civil war, and this is what we warned of during years, especially during the past few months.

What are the urgent exceptional solutions that stop this collapse and the methods of dealing with the required economy immediately and how to deal with it?

All sincere patriotic economic researchers are required to advance this responsibility and engage the entire Iraqi people with an urgent and exceptional awareness campaign, especially the youth of Iraq, to ​​ward off the deadly threat to our country, compel politicians to change their approach, and leave the economy in the hands of professionals to preserve and preserve the country and change their failed policy.

Stop being unjust to this country.

http://almasalah.com/ar/news/189064/ The financial-economic-disaster-is coming-for-Iraq-as soon as we imagine

Walkingstick:  (Snippet) Thanks Samson..Two recommendations that are currently being floated....

Samson:  He proposed measures to confront him .. The Sudanese: the budget deficit reached 60 trillion, and the revenues will not cover the salaries

* Determining _ or preventing _ importing unnecessary goods to allow the local product to cover the needs of the local market and what it represents by generating job opportunities and maintaining the currency within the country.
* Reconsidering the currency auction and adjusting the dollar exchange rate, so as not to burden the poor class.

Al-Sudani concluded by saying, "These are the most important measures to confront a budget whose deficit is estimated at (60) trillion dinars and revenues. If the barrel of oil continues to be sold at $ 30, it will not pay the salaries of employees and retirees."   LINK

Iraq entered its rentier economy, on the line of the crisis between the oil giants Russia and Saudi Arabia, after the latter's insistence to flood the market with oil, contrary to the agreement of the Organization of Petroleum Exporters "OPEC".

Economists agree that the collapse of oil prices in urgent contracts, today, Monday, will place Baghdad in front of very difficult options, and perhaps resort to strategic cash reserves.  LINK

Walkingstick:  Ftti: The GOI expenditures are not paid from the CBI reserves... They are paid from the (oil proceeds fund) established at the US federal reserve...

Iraq draws roughly 1.5 - 2 billion per month from this fund for GOI expenditures... A fund that is believed to contain roughly 35 billion..The CBI, itself... has been urged a number of times by the IMF,  maintain a (healthy reserve) considered 6 months of gross expenditures....  ie: foreign currency reserve of roughly 50 billion...

The IMF has also warned against , the continuation of pumping 150+ million into the auction.. A scenario that could be unsustainable, putting the local currency at risk... Adding, to that... They, have been .. cautioned, the use of currency reserves at the CBI should only be used as a weapon of last resort... 

Yes, the IMF had recommended in past..Iraq resort to external borrowing in a scenario such as this... Therein, lies the problem...

The CBI is the borrower, but..  it does not borrow money on its own behalf... The CBI borrows money on behalf of the GOI... It is unknown, though unlikely, a caretaker government is in a position of power to request such a loan from the IMF.. It is, certainly illegal .. per Iraqi, law..

Don961:  New York Stock Exchange suffered the most severe daily loss in 11 years

2 hours ago   Agencies - Abu Dhabi

The Wall Street suffered, on Monday, its heaviest daily loss in more than 11 years, in a decline caused by the collapse of oil prices due to the price war launched by Saudi Arabia on Russia and the outbreak of the new Corona virus in the world.

The Dow Jones industrial average losses at the close of 7.79 percent as it fell to 23.85102 points, losing more than two thousand points.

As for the Nasdaq index, which is dominated by technology companies , its losses reached 7.29 percent, closing at 7,95068 points.

The Standard & Poor's 500 Index, in turn , tumbled 7.60% to settle at 2.74656 points.

According to Howard Silverblatt, an index specialist at S&P Dow Jones Indices, the S&P 500 lost a total of $ 1870 billion during Monday's session and $ 5,300 billion since February 19, when it hit an all-time high.

Compared to the population of the United States , the loss incurred by the New York Stock Exchange on Monday is equivalent to $ 5682 per person.

For the first time Monday, the Dow Jones index caused a significant decline at the start of the trading session, when it lost more than 7 percent by activating the 15-minute suspension mechanism.

The combined losses of the three major indices on the New York Stock Exchange were about 20 percent each since hitting an all-time high last month.

The losses came as a result of the collapse of oil prices, which fell by 25 percent, after Saudi Arabia decided to reduce oil prices significantly in the wake of its failure to reach an agreement with Russia on production.

On the other hand, the death toll from the emerging virus, Corona virus , continues to rise, exacerbating the panic that prevails in the markets.   LINK

Samson:  High oil prices after the biggest daily loss in 30 years

10th March, 2020
Oil prices rose 8 percent on Tuesday, to recover from the largest loss recorded in one day in nearly 30 years, while investors are looking for a possible economic stimulus in light of the price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia and the slowdown of new cases of coronavirus in China.

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would take “significant” steps to support the US economy in the face of the impact of the Corona Virus outbreak and would consider salary tax cuts with Republican lawmakers in Congress on Tuesday.

By 0605 GMT, Brent crude futures rose $ 2.85, or 8.3 percent, to $37.21 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures gained $ 2.46, or 7.9 percent, to $ 33.59 a barrel. The benchmarks fell 25 percent on Monday, dropping to their lowest levels since February 2016 and marking the largest percentage decline in one day since January 17, 1991, when oil prices fell when the Gulf War erupted.

Trading volumes in the contract for the closest entitlement to both raw materials reached record highs in the previous session after the collapse of a three-year agreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia and other major oil producers to reduce supplies on Friday.

Asian stocks rose and bond yields rose from historic lows, as speculation of coordinated stimulus by central banks and governments around the world calmed the sell-off by panicked investors. Spirits also received a boost after Chinese President Xi Jinping Wuhan visited the epicenter of the outbreak of the Coronavirus, for the first time since the epidemic began, and as the spread of the virus on the Chinese mainland slowed strongly.  LINK

Don961:   China sets next April as the date for the launch of the vaccine that the world is waiting for!

19:45 Monday 09 March 2020   Baghdad _ people

"Scientists are about to find a vaccine for the deadly coronavirus (COVID-19), the first of its
kind, and it will be available for emergency use by next April," a Chinese government center
said on Monday.

The director of the Development of Science Center and Technology Commission of the National
Health China Zhong Cheng Wei according to the reported  site  " Mchabl " American Technical,
today, (March 9 , 2020), "according to our estimates, we hope that the intervention of some
vaccines , clinicalresearch , or be useful in emergency situations, By next April. ”

He added, "Scientists have succeeded in reaching this vaccine through cooperation and
exchange of the genetic sequence of the virus between various Chinese research institutions.

The Chinese announcement comes days after a famous Chinese epidemiologist injected
herself with a new vaccine against the emerging coronavirus, with six members of her team.

"We are doing everything we can to put the vaccine we are developing into the clinical trial
and application phase," said Chen Wei, an officer with the Chinese army. With providing
strong technical support to win this battle, ”she indicated, it usually takes between 12 and
18 months to ensure that vaccines meet safety standards.

Under Chinese law, vaccines can be used in an emergency before that period, if "their
benefits outweigh the risks," according to China's National Medicinal Administration.

And Moderna Biotechnology Company in the United States revealed its own vaccine that it
shipped this month to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to start
human  tests, while the director of the institute, Anthony Fushi, warned that even if the
initial safety tests  were good, it would take 12 to 18 months to see these vaccines widely
used around the world.

Experts stressed that expediting the use of vaccines outside the specified testing period
may be "ineffective and insecure", considering that China is trying to contain the flood of
criticism directed at it in dealing with the crisis of the spread of the Corona virus, by
appearing as a  savior and developing a vaccine without taking the necessary precautions.

Don961:  Corona and Political Corona

- 14 Hours Ago

It is no secret to anyone that the emergence of the new coronavirus has aroused grave global concern, and it carries with it many ramifications, the extent of which has not been determined yet, and if there is consensus that it is dangerous to human health, and may have negative repercussions that threaten our lifestyle in the 21st century.

The first cause of turmoil and anxiety is not only the emergence of the virus, as the world previously exposed to viruses, and will face others in the future, but the source of anxiety is due to the fact that the new virus presents an equation that is not clear-cut, not prepared for, and led to confusion and lack of transparency in the initial dealing with its emergence.

The anxiety was exacerbated by the rapid growth in the number of patients, and its rapid spread in a large number of countries around the world, which had several repercussions, including, among other things, placing restrictions on receiving visitors from or traveling to specific areas in China, then from other countries after that In an effort to stop the spread of the virus and avoid its consequences.

Challenges and new events, and a government hesitation in dealing with events, the speed of transmission of events and challenges across borders, airspace and seas, and reactions towards isolationism, are the same features and challenges that we are witnessing politically and economically, or advocated by some in the era of globalization, whether in government interaction, or in The emergence of populist tendencies toward isolationism in small and large countries, democratic and centralized in decision-making.

Will the world go through the "political corona" stage?

All indications point to this. The contemporary international system was established in the aftermath of World War II, on the basis of a balance of power between the Western Atlantic Alliance and the eastern Warsaw Pact, with a third group complementing the scene, namely the non-aligned countries.

This was accompanied by the development of the most important international charters, the first of which is the Charter of the United Nations, and the adoption of a number of economic documents in the crucible of Bretton Woods, in the context of which the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund were established, as well as a set of documents and treaties to arrange international situations, for example the Universal Declaration of Human Rights , And arms control agreements, the NPT ... etc.

These documents and treaties defined the balance of political power that existed at the time as the basis for the movement's drive for the contemporary international system for more than half a century, and it remained stable and exists in general, despite being subjected to various challenges in light of the tension and attraction between the two allies, or with the non-aligned developing countries, which were The number is increasing as a result of it getting more independence from the old European colonialism, each with its aspirations and stances.

The situation was not fair in the past century, and there were numerous violations by the major powers over the rights of others, but international competition maintained stability in general, until the end of the eighties and the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact with which he headed, so the balance that was providing some deterrent controls was disturbed by the actions of the two allies. .

International law remained the only pillar of the stability of the international system, and it was subjected to more challenges and irregularities with the growing willingness of various countries to overcome and ignore it, especially those that enjoyed security, political and economic superiority at the international or regional levels, and among these violations are the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the genocide in Rwanda, the war in Syria and Libya, and many other examples that have come to characterize the past few decades.

With the increasing rates and speed of international globalization, driven by huge technological developments in the field of communications and information transmission, new circumstances, achievements and challenges have arisen between governments and peoples from one moment to the next, and rapid, uncontrolled communication has occurred for peoples and goods, providing enormous opportunities, as well as many problems and challenges.

Among the main drivers of globalization are neoliberal policies, such as free trade and privatization, which were required of developing countries to implement them quickly, regardless of their conditions and competitiveness. However, some in developed countries feared competition from more efficient markets and less expensive employment, and several isolated and right-wing currents appeared in West, East, North, and South, and the popular and national trend has grown towards focusing on personal interests at the expense of societal and national and at the expense of regional and regional at the expense of international and global interests.
The problem lies in the fact that the rates of change in the era of globalization came very fast, and posed a real challenge to stability and traditional identity, as well as that the economic aspect of globalization was applied without giving great importance to the different circumstances and special considerations of other least developed countries, as well as to the differences of cultures between societies.

What we have seen from spontaneous reactions to the new virus is the same that we have seen politically and economically during the past decades in front of the challenges of globalization, and the best ways to deal with this new challenge medically are very similar to the correct ways to deal politically, economically and socially with the challenges of the globalization era, namely cooperation in accordance with the rules International and agreed upon, as cases of health crises and emergencies require transparency between governments, states and societies, cooperation and interaction in accordance with international protocols, rules and laws in the context of the international multilateral system in which we live, including respect for all countries health rules In relation to the Corona virus, cooperation is required in implementing three initiatives to support the capabilities of countries in detecting, evaluating and reporting public health events, and granting the World Health Organization the coordinating role to build this capacity, and taking specific measures in transportation such as ports, airports, and land crossings, to reduce The spread of health risks, without

There are also lessons from dealing with the new Corona virus that can be used in our political dealings, the most important of which are:

1- That technological development, globalization, and considerations of market economies will all remain part of the future societal equation, with all its pros and cons.

2- We live in an integrated world, and we depend on each other, and therefore cooperation is a necessity, isolationism and unilateral decisions are a chain bound to failure in the long run. Fast and as much as possible.

3- That pluralism and setting the rules for collective preventive action are better and safer in the long-term and strategic, and that giving priority to immediate needs at the expense of the long-term interest is not a solution, but rather inevitably takes us from one problem to another.

4- That confronting urgent problems will require from time to time precautionary measures by states and governments, but they must be in accordance with the need and for specific and limited periods.

5- The importance of having strong and effective governmental authorities and agencies, knowing that their strength and success will depend on their success in educating their people and communicating with them with credibility.

6- The necessity of respecting international law, general rules and equal rights of peoples in order to preserve international stability from fluctuations in the balance of power and emerging international challenges, in order to ensure states' commitment to their obligations.

7 - That dealing with issues in an international, prior, preventive and strategic framework is not a necessity, but a necessity, including for example climate change, the scarcity of available freshwater quantities, extremism and terrorism, the militarization of security concepts, the excessive use of force to resolve disputes, and employing modern technology to develop Military capabilities, including outer space.

Walkingstick:  Sumaisem told Obelisk: The central bank put up $ 250 million to prevent the collapse of the dinar ... and the deficit of $ 51 billion ... and then what?

3/9/2020 11:15:02 AM  

Baghdad / Obelisk: Economist Salam Smaism, on Monday, 9 March 2020,

considered Iraq and Iran to be one of the biggest losers in the oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, and this caused a major economic blow on them.

Sumaisem said in an interview with "Obelisk" that the central bank put 250 million dollars, Monday, March 9, 2020, for trading in order to control the currency market and prevent the collapse of the Iraqi dinar.

And Smisim continued: The budget was not deliberately approved, and the corrupt people prepared it at the price of $ 56 a barrel of oil, which is now falling to $ 33 and an approximate deficit of more than $ 51 billion!

She added: No one dares to ask: What then? The Iraq treasury will be emptied, and who is responsible?

And Sumaisim considered that Iraq is a victim of the war in oil prices launched by Saudi Arabia after the collapse of the Russia deal.

Sumaisem said that Saudi Arabia is flooding the world oil markets with oil to punish Russia for its refusal to reduce OPEC prices, while Russia's economy, which depends on oil revenues, faces a major crisis.

Oil prices tumbled in global markets after Saudi Arabia decided to increase supplies in a price war with Russia after an agreement between OPEC and Moscow collapsed, as well as regional and global stock exchanges and oil and aviation stocks collapsed against the backdrop of a price war and fears of an outbreak of the Corona virus.

The head of the Center for Political Thinking, Ihsan al-Shammari, said on Monday, March 9, 2020 that the decline in oil prices will cast a shadow on the level of Iraqi per capita income, fully blaming the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi for the implications of this decline and its impact on Iraq's economic future.

DELTA:  A new product through the system for the window selling foreign currency to the Central Bank of Iraq.

MARCH 4 ,2020 

Al Mansour Software Solutions Co.

Mansour Express Exchange and Remittance System

It is an electronic computer system that supports the exchange and money transfer companies that have been developed to suit all exchange operations and transfer funds by experts and specialists in this area, in addition to the legal accounting of evidence Calculations and the status of accounting values within international accounting

The system consists of the department of the system management, the accounting section, the exchange section, the incoming and incoming remittances section, as well as their treatment from the department of the system, the accounting section, the department of the banking department, the incoming remittances section and the department of the accounting system. Accounting, public budget and reports for regulatory services.

MilitiaMan:  Thank you for the find Delta.. I see this is a few days old now. Is that what the RED ALERT was about 3-4 days ago? lol.

They clearly have now set things up to be electronic and in a big way. And in an International way. They are telling us they have the legal accounting, evidence of "Calculations", of Accounting Values, with International Standards.

That last sentences suggests they have the international rate to go with it too.

Keep in mind Experts and Specialists will be using the software, as it is a full management system of incoming and out going remittances. They would not be going cashless with a system like this at a program rate and at a time like this. But at an international rate imo, yes they would.

 The accounting of Public Budgets and the ability to report to the Regulators and in a transparent way with speed and efficiency will make this move to a market economy smooth, safe and secure. imo CASH LESS... 

Having the cash register X'd out shows they need to cease the use of cash. As we spoke about Delta, with the CBI telling banks to stop using cash because of the Corona  Virus, they'll (the CBI) need to cease using cash as well. All types of currencies, too.

Thus, they will need to stop the  Currency Auctions. (KO punch to Iran?) They now have a valid excuse outside the parameters of the GOI to RI, as it is vital to the Monetary system to keep money moving.

They stop money movement they will have problems with the IMF, UST, WB,  inflation rearing it's ugly head, no liquidity, etc.. So this suggests they are ready to raise the rate soon, as they have the calculations and values necessary to do so.  The have the excuse of the virus as an ace in the hole to get it done. imo

The above mention of calculations and value is important, imo. We knew that the CBI told the money ex changers weeks ago they need to have the 2019 numbers to the CBI by 02/29/2020 or be fined daily for lack of reporting. The above supports that to have been done now.

What also supports that, is we have had articles telling us thy have 9 key banks all geared and ready to help facilitate electronic payments, ACH money transfers, etc.. Then the show us they have a MOU with 70 more banks and hundreds of money ex changers to facilitate money movement.

We already witnessed the CBI telling us in a 55 page report they have accepted article 8 obligations that includes lifting exchange restrictions. By lifting exchange restrictions they can not stop the movement of capital!! 

With stopping cash sales at the auctions without announcing article 8, as in announcing they lifted the 000s from the exchange rate and give an international calculation to it they would be in violation of that.  imo. Therefore problems arise. So with all we know, that will not be the case.

They will soon announce they are Art 8 and at what rate they have calculated for the value of the future IQD exchange rate that all the Iraqis await and we too.. imo 

Delta! Agreed, the Perfect Storm is Upon us.. ioo... lol ~ MM

************

Youngsc:  But we need a seated PM with seated cabinet before the rate comes out as Frank stated?

Iobey777:  IMO.... WALKINGSTICK has already told us that they DO have a seated Pm and Cabinet with Mahdi, although it is a "caretaker" Gov't it can hand off the RI!! IMO!  This is looking VERY EXCITING!

DELTA:  SUPER SAMSON GREAT ARTICLE ........THEY ARE DONE AND LIVE...

****************

2Cents:  Why did Mahdi resign????  

Why did he go to such elaborate lengths yesterday to make sure he is not involved in any day to day decisions???

Based on WS postings yesterday, Mahdi failed to implement the CBI RD/RV plan twice already this year....

Perhaps, Mahdi has been threatened and/or compromised by Iran and he is now operating out of Fear......We know Iran does not want a change in the currency sales as it would cut off the flow of USD into Iran and Hezbollah.......  Based on WS posts, it appears that the GOI, by and through the PM, must have to do something to allow the RD/RV and or RI.......WE always believed the change in currency must be authorized by the government......Based on WS posts, it may appear that is the case.....

Note that the UN report states:

"there are armed groups outside the Iraqi state that prevent him from operating normally

Is this the possible reason of Mahdi's failure to implement?????

The question is now whether the Deputy PM's now have the authority and courage to implement or do we have to wait for a PM to be seated to have the authority....

Just some thoughts....

The ultimate question I have  had since the WS posts yesterday is whether implementation of the CBI plan to RD/RV------->RI requires some action of the PM to implement......??????

Walkingstick’s Posts 3-2-2020  

Hammy14:  2cents, I asked that very question to some folks with knowledge of the situation, and I was told the CBI can certainly RI the currency on their own, but would be taking a risk in doing so, since they need the support of the citizens to make it all work.  Therefore, they (CBI) would much prefer the cooperation of the GOI and the economic reforms to support the value of the monetary reform put forth by the CBI.  So apparently, Mahdi, under Iranian influence, refused to move forward with the economic reforms needed to support the CBI's intended goal.  Simply put, it all goes back to the need to remove Iranian influence and Iranian puppets within the GOI.  Time will tell, but they may have to completely dissolve Parliament to get that accomplished.  We shall see.  All IMO

Mr Harfax:  I don't know if it requires an action of the PM but every day I ask myself what good would a rate change today do for Iraq?  IMO until there is a mechanism to put Dinars in the hands of Iraqis citizens (i.e. a budget with programs and projects to create jobs) I don't see why the CBI would pull the trigger.  These dance partners need to get on the same page.  

BlaqueBeauty:  Hello, imo per delta yesterday live, it was stated cbi is it's own entity and can not wait any long for goi to get there act together,  therefore cbi train still moves forward, but would look good if they could both be presented together  Also imo per the count down has been started from the 24th if feb and 15days and possible   Election Sunday and march 30th iraq open for business event,  something is going on behind close doors

Popeye7:  As has been spoken on this site, by giving Iraq a true rate would cut off Iran's money supply, and thus their influence within Iraq's governmental affairs... This all seems to be coming to a head, and there is certainly more going on in a more positive way, than what the media is portraying... IMO...

The CBI continues status quo, and one true indication of success personally is the rate of the Iraqi dinar remains consistent... Has not lost any significant value, and if the powers that be knew they were not succeeding in bringing to fruition the ultimate goal of RI'ing Iraq's currency, IMO, the rate would become even more worthless in order to apply even more pressure...

But that has not been the case, and as we know the rate is relatively stable... Despite all of the drama, and at times chaos that has transpired within Iraq in recent years... With that in mind, IMO, those who control all of this ultimately, have a specific date in mind... And Reinstating on this particular date must be of utmost importance for more reasons than one IMO... Otherwise, why the wait?... 

2Cents:  If CBI can just implement the RD/RV------>RI, why would WS say it was Mahdi that failed to implement twice.....????  What does Mahdi have to do with it??????  

Mr. Harfax:  And would the CBI want the current contingent to have access to this tool in this current environment?  I'm certainly excited with the progress they have made removing/limiting the corruption but given that we are seeing new names added to the list on the regular it would appear there is still work to be done.  I suspect some of the incumbents would welcome the opportunity to attempt to take advantage of the current environment (i.e. GOI sub-optimal).  There is still work to be done but they are getting there...

Frank, Walkingstick and KTFA Members Monday PM 3-2-2020

KTFA:

BlueJen:  IMO Frank alluded to a Delay in the last UB2B.

Harb, the Legal Expert has extended the Deadline of Mar 2nd to Mar 8th due to Holidays. Harb also stated Allawi has met the Deadline by Presenting the Cabinet and he has a Legal Right to remain in Office. This "Throwing in of the Towel" is a weak move for someone who has stood against Corruption and also Declared on TV he would Prosecute any Minister who was Corrupt and was Paid to come Against the Cabinet.  Completely un-Trump Clone-like. This is becoming very Theatrical and illogical.

Khoumeni arrives for a Mtg and no one is talking about it....Why? I expected Iran to be given Terms and the remaining Proxies to run back to Iran with their tails between their legs. Instead the Embassy deals with another Missile Attack. Potentially the Citizens are going to escalate and more than likely burn out Halbousi, maybe even Sadr and a few others.

The UN n USA are putting great pressure to Prosecute the Caretaker GOI for Human Right Violations. The GOI looks like Keystone Cops. Meanwhile the Banks continue Training, now Customer Service material.

And so we wait for Monday's UB2B for a Clue about next Sunday's reveal??? 
We're gonna need more Cookies IMO

The Snod:  Several months ago, WS said there was a back-up gov’t in place if necessary.   Iran trumps Trump? Trump and China trumps all.

GodLover: If what you state is accurate as far as WS stating this......then it does give some peace of mind imo. With that said, makes me wonder why the back-up government has yet to be exposed? There has to be an actual reason for this back-up government not being exposed yet...imo.
I have made it known that I feel the need for a seated GOI prior to the MR....per articles that have stated this as well over the last months imo. Not to mention the thought of releasing the MR without a seated GOI seems impractical imo. On that same thinking.....maybe it's not the CBI waiting for the GOI seating....but the back-up government is waiting for the CBI to be ready? imo. Some will agree....some will disagree....it is what it is, but ultimately we are still hoping & praying we are at the end of this ride, grasping for reasons why it has yet to happen imo.

Walkingstick:  Ftti (For those that inquired) : IMO...Too much, focus ... on Allawi... Keep in mind, whether... Allawi is seated or not..  Iraq, does have ..  a seated and functioning government/cabinet in place.. which, continues to convene and issue directives under Mahdi..... 

***************

GodsServant:  Thank you for your post WS. The existing Govt as I understand it is a Caretaker Govt and cannot pass any new laws. They can only enforce what has been approved.

As Frank said the button was pushed on the 24th IHO and many in here are wondering what was initiated on the 24th. In following the constitution Salih has 7 days to accept MTA's resignation and then 15 days to name the new PM. In the meantime Mahdi is still the PM , and he is suggesting in articles that he can dissolve Parliament.

It appears that the CBI is waiting on Citizens to be satisfied as they remain the largest Bock.

My understanding is Parliament can be dissolved by the PM and President agreeing along with a 1/3 vote from Parliament. IMO MTA was not able to get his vote of confidence even with his independent cabinet.

 IMO we should study the constitution and see what it takes to dissolve Parliament and watch the actions of the incumbents and what they do for the Citizens. Can the CBI move forward, I believe the answer is yes. The question is why haven't they and what stopped them the last two times.

All open for study and comments.   Thank you KTFA

Walkingstick:  Agreed, Mahdi and his cabinet (form) nothing more then a care-taker government... Yet, they are in fact a seated government... Nor, can they now or have they ever had the authority to vote on a bill, to become law ... The PM and his cabinet propose bills, which...in turn, are forwarded to parliament for a vote, which are then voted on... becoming law, or not....

Parliament, on the other hand... is not, part of the executive branch... Any bill that has reached parliament, sitting in parliament (100's ) or was approved prior to Mahdis resignation can be voted on in parliament. ie: 2020 budget..  Parliament must also vote on the acceptance of a cabinet put forward by any PM... 

As a caretaker government Mahdi and his cabinet cannot issue bills to parliament but they can issue directives to other branches of the government. ie: release of funds to citizens, claim a holiday,   etc..These do not require a vote in parliament... 

I agree, and yet the CBI has been prepared for quite some time... An event, Mahdi failed twice in its implementation...

Myself, I put no faith in their abiding by their constitution... They opt to select when to abide by it when it's in ones best interest... In the years since it was voted on, all sitting governments have been in violation.... Article 140, HCL... only 2 of many clear violations....Regards.....

Frank, Delta and MilitiaMan Saturday Night 2-29-2020

KTFA:

Article:  Al-Shammari: There is no truth to present a new candidate for prime minister, and we hope that youth elements in the booth   LINK

MilitiaMan:  The media has been used to keep the pot stirred. Behind the scenes, is probably more refined than what is being portrayed. Some confusion, some propaganda, some truth and even blatant lies are all mixed in the pot. 

This was told to us time past and many years ago would be a part of the process by Dr. Shabbibi . As 2 Cents has just reminded us these articles lately are all too familiar. The back and forth sown to the wire is culturally a norm. Going to negotiate to the last second..

The new PM designate has nothing to lose, yet, the corrupt have everything to lose.. They clearly don’t have the will of the masses in mind. They have themselves and those close more in mind and most likely have them on the dole in some shape or fashion. 

The re iteration that the validity of having another choice for PM is not true according to the above. Whereby, it is imo supporting a view this is being orchestrated to a specific time that gets it down to the wire. With Allawi having been very focused and working behind the scenes long before it was made public and having the support of the citizens has possibly fueled their behavior to do whatever it takes and as long as it takes to save what they may or should know is lost by now. 

So within the next day or so we should see the results of Allawi’s efforts. Those efforts should have the citizens in mind away and devoid of corruption as best as possible and additionally the personal and economic needs of the citizens met. 

From the CBIs perspective they are and have been ready and it is my understanding the CBI has publicly shown the citizens they are accepting the IMF obligations of Article 8. That was back on the 23rd of February 2020 in a 55 page report in Arabic. It mentions getting the flow of money to the citizens, lifting restrictions on their funds and allow freedom of external transfers of such funds. 

That report has me of the mind once it was published for the citizens, it was notice to the BIS the citizens, and then to us that they are going to be lifting the exchange rate at a very close point in time, imo. Add in the printing of new notes, minting coins, all have been done with the afore being and end game notification if you will.. imo.. ~ MM. 

DELTA:  HELLO FAMILY THIS IS THE PROVE OF ARTICLE VIII FROM CBI 55 PAGES DOCUMENTS ...

9.. Restricting foreign transfers or regulating the flow of money out to citizens is a trend that is not consistent with the fact that the Iraqi dinar is transferable with its equivalent of hard currency inside Iraq, as well as that is inconsistent with  external transfer and Iraq’s commitment to international agreements, in particular the application of provisions of texts Article 8 of the International Monetary Fund agreement, which obliges member states to adopt the freedom of external transfer and lift restrictions on the movement of citizens ’funds, except for legal violations resulting from terrorist financing

MilitiaMan:  Foreign Currency Equivalent means, with respect to any amount denominated in Dollars, the equivalent amount thereof in the applicable Foreign Currency as determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined in respect of the most recent Revaluation Date) for the purchase of such Foreign Currency with Dollars. Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Based on 97 documents

https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/foreign-currency-equivalent

MilitiaMan:  Thank you Delta, bringing in the proof is fascinatingly apropos. You supported the data we have that they the CBI has offered the public. They have given notice of a change to come. They are on a time line now.. That link above gives legal text examples of the meaning for Foreign Currency and Hard Currency (USD)  with respect to samples of internationalism to go along with it. They have and will have obligations now that they came out with that data. Whoo yahhh! imo Lets hope we see the train stop and the whistle blows the IQD announcement of a new international rate... !!!+ ~ MM
