Chattels Amid governmental instability, it remains unclear whether Baghdad and Erbil will renew their deal which dictates that the KRG must send 250,000 bpd to SOMO in return for its federal budget share from Baghdad. Unconfirmed reports say the two governments have reached oil-for-budget agreement.

chattels Omar Al-Nidawi@omar_nidawi

Good points by @SajadJiyad The key to compromise/incremental change is getting politicians to collectively recognize the unsustainable conditions they created. This is sadly unlikely when they feel they control the money & guns. Also, most are too proud/not smart enough https://twitter.com/omar_nidawi

chattels REad Iraq’s Protest Movement Is an Existential Challenge for the Political Elite

Sajad Jiyad Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2020 https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/28530/in-iraq-protests-pose-an-existential-challenge-to-the-political-elite

KRnMS chattels, much appreciate your info, saw you are worried about Trumps abilities to fight the Iranians due to the Senate vote, fear NOT, he will certainly VETO any bill of that sort even if the HOUSE votes to also curtail his war powers, if Iran tries to roll tanks into Iraq, you know he will take action

Chattels Deputy for the State of Law coalition, Alia Nassif, confirmed that the government of Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi is outside the framework of quotas, noting that most of the political blocs did not participate in the new cabinet.

Nassif said in a press statement today, Friday, that "the Prime Minister-designate's refusal to the quota system and his failure to comply with the requirements of the blocs may lead to obstructing the wheel of his government."

chattels Nassif demanded that all blocs give up their political gains to support the new government and succeed in fulfilling its duty if it was a cabinet of popular entitlements.

chattels Controversial new law could make Iraq's early elections late Omar al-Jaffal February 14, 2020

chattels The Iraqi parliament, under public pressure from months of widespread protests, has passed a new electoral law that still leaves protesters and parties representing Kurds and Sunni Arab areas far from satisfied. The law has yet to reach the president's desk to be ratified.

sandyf @Dave sandyf on your next drive by could you please explain the prior month of your spread sheet. 46 Trillion. May and June would be over 100 Trillion???

Do not know what you are talking about. I did not post a spreadsheet, I referred to the financial statement issued by the CBI for the end of Dec 2019 which shows the currency issued as 51.9 Trillion, it also shows the figure for the end of Nov 2019 at 51.0 Trillion. Where does May & June come from?

sandyf @Dave Currency ISSUED couLd also be electronic?

Totally irrelevant, the only thing that counts is the liability faced by the CBI.

sandyf @Zig Lots of "could be" this and "could be" that.....

There is very little "could be this" or "could be that" in the accounts, that all comes from dinarland.

This chart you posted on 3rd Jan has now been amended to reflect what is in the financial statement. The concept of it suddenly being reduced to 5 trillion was nothing more than dinarland clutching at straws.

Kaperoni Hello

Kaperoni Here is a question from 13 Feb 20, 04:33 PM Young_SC Where do you get 48 trillion dollars to cover that budget that is about to come out??

Kaperoni The budget is not 48 trillion, it is over 148 trillion!

Kaperoni The way they are trying to accomplish this is about $100 trillion is the (regular amount each year) from oil sales and the additional 48 trillion is part of a new public/private partnership which was designed to kick off the private sector and rebuild the infrastructure.

There are several articles on this concept from last July-Nov or so that came out. It is not a RV or any other guru nonsense, just a plan to bring investors into Iraq to rebuild and have it financed/coordinated with the help of the GOI.

This is risky of course and recent talk is to modify this budget before it is passed as a result of the protests, delays to next year. Time will tell what they decide to do. But the idea was good at the time.

chattels Sajad Jiyad — My article on why failure to take the protests seriously and initiate reforms will lead to the collapse of the political system in Iraq

chattels "The commission of Muhammad Allawi to form the cabinet was not a constitutional assignment, as it was not nominated by all components of the largest parliamentary bloc in accordance with Article 76 / First of the Constitution, which is considered a clear constitutional violation, but rather a violation of the constitution." ".

chattels Basem Khashan: All political blocs are sticking to their ministerial quotas ... The allegations to the contrary are empty

Chattels Sadr disbands 'blue hats', calls for independent government chattels Allawi is under intense pressure to form an inclusive government which satisfies Iraq’s powerful political blocs and the protesters who have been on the streets since October.

He now has until the end of the month to form a cabinet.

chattels Anti-government protesters have been in the streets for more than four months, demanding regime change, constitutional change, and better lives in a country where poverty and corruption are widespread.

Security forces and unidentified armed groups have responded with deadly violence, including live rounds and military-grade tear gas.

More than 600 protesters and security force members have been killed, and at least 18,000 people injured since protests began in October, according to Human Rights Watch.

The disbanding of the militia follows a deadly attack on protesters in Najaf on Wednesday, where individuals claimed to be part of the ‘Blue Hats’ killed 11 protesters and injured hundreds.

Zig Young_SC : Kaperoni's reply: "Lol. I don't change anything to suit my needs. It may have just been a typo or a slightly different version from using electronic translators. There are two or three translators online, each one produces slightly different results.

In any case, Arabic is a very difficult language and documents should never be taken as correctly translated electronically unless it's only used as general information. I actually have two very fluent translators that work with me and if something is important enough it is translated professionally by them because that's the only way to get the real intention.

I don't know where this quote came from or who it came from but who's is to say one quote is more accurate over the other? At the very least it's incredibly vague. These people that are critiquing things are doing so because they're trying to justify some kind of mythical RV/RI that's never going to happen.

And there are two major reasons why it can't happen because there's too much currency in circulation. That is a fact. And it's not how a central bank's monetary policy works. Any English economic book can explain that". Kap
