Mountain Goat 3/7/16

We may not on the surface see much happening in this area, but if we follow the news, we can find tid bits showing the completion of the needed steps to complete this path.
 
So there are two distinct paths being driven now. One from the financial sector and the other from the political side. The political side is to end corruption, legislation stalling and install the needed laws to coincide with the financial sector that is preparing Iraq for operating under a modern, global banking system.
 
These are two very distinct paths but not necessarily separate since at some point the progress much merge together to get the final outcome needed. What is the final outcome? It is NOT THE RV but an orderly, secure, progressive society that can responsibly function in a global economy and pay back the PTB on their investment from Iraq. The RV is only a by-product and a necessity of this process. So everything is not always about the RV but instead about PROGRESS in these two distinctive paths. Learn the paths and you can almost predict the outcome and when it will occur.
 
WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE AN EXPLOSION OF PROGRESS when these paths converge (or collide) very soon.  Folks – this can not and will not go on forever! Be patient !
 
See article below.
 
I quote from the article below- “the economic and investment commission in Parliament, announced earlier, the intention of the government to activate the tourism sector in Iraq, similar to other countries”
 
So Iraq is planning to activate the tourism sector in their country. Really?
So just how do you so this with a terrorist threat still looming in Mosul? So is the situation in Mosul much better than they are telling us in the news?
 
I quote from the article below- “She noted that religious tourism in Iraq is the front-runner of the geographical and archaeological tourism, considering that the security situation has a significant impact on that side," asserting that "all these things are just initial steps deliberate but fruit be gained at a later time and not immediately."
 
How would you get tourist to come to Iraq and see all the bombed out buildings and ruins? So is the reconstruction in fact moving ahead much quicker than they are leading us to believe?
 
How will they pay for their stay? Can they use credit cards in the hotels and stores? How will they exchange their money? What will be the rate since MCP still exists in Iraq? Will this cause yet more confusion and corruption among the present day money exchangers on the streets?
 
These are all issues they need to think about if they are ever going to have a thriving tourist industry. They will need a foreign currency and move out of their “closed” economy. So is the reality that Iraq is much farther ahead than they are leading us to believe. Does Najiba Najib know something we don’t?
 
Essentially we will have to get the lower denominations and coins soon and move into a globally recognized currency. Just my thoughts! What are yours?

PARLIAMENTARY ECONOMY: THERE ARE PLANS TO ACTIVATE THE TOURISM SECTOR
 
March 6, 2016
 
Our economy / Iraq
A commission of economy and investment representative, on Sunday, there are plans to activate the tourism sector and the advancement of economic reality.
 
He said committee member Najiba Najib "The first step for the advancement of economic reality is interest in the agricultural and industrial sector because some plants need support in order to be rehabilitated and thus provide jobs and have more economic paybacks."
 
She said Najib, "As for the tourism sector, there are plans and programs are converting to private investment so as not to overburden the burden on the budget, as it we have a good religious tourism if organized well by some of the ministries concerned in this regard and those we could get revenues supply the state treasury a lot of money ".
 
She noted that "religious tourism in Iraq is the front-runner of the geographical and archaeological tourism, considering that the security situation has a significant impact on that side," asserting that "all these things are just initial steps deliberate but fruit be gained at a later time and not immediately."
 
She said, "The country was going through an economic and administrative chaos, in addition to the obvious lack of planning and strategy, but do not drop in oil prices to what we saw performing procedures seriously and move a few things."
 
It is said that the economic and investment commission in Parliament, announced earlier, the intention of the government to activate the tourism sector in Iraq, similar to other countries.

Today’s News
 
Today is Monday March 7th  2016. Still no RV.  Sorry!
 
Once again I will tell you to watch Iraq the CBI, Finance Ministry and Parliament. Only these areas will give us  CLUES as to when we can expect any significant increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar.  So this is what we will concentrate on most. No we don’t have to worry or watch anything China or Iran does as it is all insignificant in determining our new window for an RV.
 
The CBI actually told us out straight that they plan to inform the people on an ongoing basis the steps in the currency reform process. They seem to be doing just that. So we do not have to listen to nonsense about “funds being moved around” or “people already being paid out”. This other stuff is all nonsense with motivation to get you to buy more currency. I also have warned you in the past about this gross speculation on these other currencies especially the Iranian Rial, Vietnamese Dong and Zimbabwe Zim. These perpetrators will be brought to justice for their fraud as we are slowly seeing them being rounded up and charged with fraud just as I said would happen.
 
Update: Abadi’s Cabinet Reshuffle
 
We know that Abadi has been fighting corruption over this last year and we see he has hit a brick wall once again on getting the last few remaining needed laws passed. We know it is the National Alliance and in particular the Shi’ite dominated Dowa party that is stalling these efforts. We also know why and it is because these new laws impact them the most, as it will end their reign of terror and set the stage to prosecute them.
 
So Abadi has come out with a comprehensive road map for reform and the fight against corruption and the ministerial amendment. Recently we have seen the cleric Moqtada al – Sadr  who called on Friday for the government to be overthrown if it failed to act against corruption. This was amazing news since we know they have been demonstrating for weeks now with no real progress by the government to meet their demands.
 
We have also heard from other religious leaders the same on this topic of corruption as they too have spoken out in support of Sadr’s stance. The protestors came very close to raiding the green zone in Baghdad over this past weekend and the demonstrations almost went to a dangerous level of rioting. So we are seeing continued pressure by the clerics and it will not end until corruption is finally dealt with. These actions are once again all in our favor and will move in the direction of getting the RV.. I will show you how.
 
So now we are seeing a series of events take place. I bring you a series of articles in a time sequence that I hope you will understand. Nothing  just happens and is coincidental . So when you read these articles, in the sequence I present, you too can clearly see the direction Abadi is taking in solving this issue of stalling his reform movement.
 
Why do I bring this to you today?
I bring this because we know these last remaining laws MUST be passed and implemented prior to any RV.  This will not happen unless Abadi has his cabinet reshuffle and cleans out the corrupt officials from his cabinet. Remember in Iraq it is Abadi’s cabinet that writes the laws and the Federation Council that reviews them, then parliament legislature that enacts them.
 
We also know that in the background another BIG financial effort has been underway to set the stage for the launching of the lower denominations once again. The plan is for these two main events to collide together if all is successful and we can see this happening sometime soon. This is the proposed time to go global thus time for the RV.
 
In my last news letter I mentioned a timeframe of maybe mid April but I am was being a bit pessimistic since their goal was early December, then early January, then end of February and now it is mid April. But this is just for the launching of the lower denominations IF AND ONLY IF they can get these two events to collide (meaning both completed at the same target of mid March).
 
Am I predicting a date for the RV?
NO- I am only giving you my evaluation of what I am hearing and seeing take place. The fact that these two events may not collide means that in fact this may be held up again. There is no real date set for the RV only a proposed target timeframe for the completion of these two paths I describe today. We still have a couple weeks to go so let’s see what happens! 
 
So I mentioned two paths that must collide. What are these paths.

• Get the needed laws passed to end the corruption (first the reshuffle of Abadi’s cabinet to make a more technocratic GOI)
  
• Reform the CBI (financial institution) and work with the IMF and World Bank in satisfying all needed requirements for movement into Article 8 of member nations of the UN.   
  

 
Define technocracy: 1. a theory and movement, prominent about 1932, advocating control of industrial resources, reform of financial institutions, and reorganization of the social system, based on the findings of technologists and engineers. 2. a system of government in which this theory is applied 
 
So knowing what I just told you let us look at the recent news.
 
First we know that cleric Sadr in the mosques has been organizing a huge demonstration and public display of discontent with the slow movement to which the reforms on corruption has been moving. They want the corrupt officials gone from the government and they want them to be prosecuted. They want to end the stealing of the Iraqi funds. See article #1 and #2 below. They need final conclusion and so Sadr also states a 45 day deadline to implement the reforms. If not the protestors will move into the green zone and overthrow the government forcefully. To me this sounds very serious and can get very forceful again like in 2013 demonstrations. So I do not believe the GOI will want this to happen, especially when they are still fighting ISIS up north.
 
Second we see Abadi bringing together all the religious leaders of Iraq. We can now understand why he had to do this and why he did it on Sunday 3/6. He needed to explain his reform plan   See article #3 below.  
 
Third later on the same day we hear through the news media of Iraq of Abadi making a public speech telling us he secured support from the main Shi'ite groups in Iraq. See article #4 below. So we know the earlier meeting was very successful. So I guess Sadr’s ongoing demonstrations of Friday and Saturday did some good?
 
Then we see in article #5 below Abadi’s meeting with the leaders of the Kurdish parliamentary blocs to also gain support for upcoming cabinet reshuffle and the importance of unifying efforts to meet the challenges taking place in the country.
 
Next I bring article #6 that tells us the worries of the Kurds on Abadi’s announcement of a cabinet reshuffle. hy wouldn’t’ they be worried? Abadi is noted for eliminated jobs and positions as part of his reforms. The Kurds, according to the constitution are allowed 20% of the seats in his cabinet. Remember it is the cabinet that writes the laws so it is essential Kurdistan maintain this 20% through this reshuffle process. Article #6 tells you what the Kurds ended up getting. I bolded what they finally agreed to. Very, very good article and amazing how these past recent articles all flowed together in progression. Do you see it too? Does it all make sense to you now? 
 
So all in all it looks like Abadi’s road trip did some good. We see the seeds planted for cabinet changes. We know whey there was so much resistance to it. Now, as the dust settles, we need to see the fruits of his labor from all this effort. The stage is set…lol…lol…let’s see what happens in the coming weeks.
 
So can you see the articles ARE important and do give us clues as to what is going on only you  have to READ them to understand and not go off half cocked because some secret sourced told you the banks are ready to receive exchangers or China or the stock market is doing this or that…..lol…lol… Instead look at the Iraqi news and concentrate on the areas we have been told to now watch. I listed these areas of most concern in my last news letter dated 3/5. Did you read it? I always now try to cover just these areas in my news letters. I don’t care what other countries are doing. It is Iraq currency I care most about thus let’s stick to Iraqi news. Get it? My news letter is all about Iraq and when can we see this long awaited RV. But we must work to get to this point of prediction and this means listen to them not some half cocked idiot trying to tell you some rumors or misinformation they can not substantiate or verify.

IRAQ PM ABADI SECURES SHI'ITE SUPPORT FOR CABINET CHANGE PLAN: STATE TV
 
3/6/2016
  
Iraq's main Shi'ite groups on Sunday voiced support for Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's plan to overhaul the government and combat corruption, state TV said.

The broadcaster cited a statement issued by the National Alliance, a loose gathering of Shi'ite groups that controls the majority of seats in parliament, after a meeting with Abadi in the Shiite holy city of Kerbala, south of Baghdad. The other blocs in parliament mainly represent the Sunni and Kurdish communities. Abadi, 19 months into his four-year term, said in February that he wanted to replace politically-appointed ministers with technocrats in a bid to weaken the current system which distributes positions along ethnic and sectarian lines, creating patronage networks blamed for breeding corruption.

Abadi's move came after criticism from the nation's highest Shi'ite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, that his government has done little to combat graft. "The National Alliance affirms its position of support of the reforms and ministerial change that the Prime Minister has called for," the statement read on state TV said.

The Shi'ite meeting in Kerbala was attended by Moqtada al-Sadr, the powerful cleric who called on Friday for the government to be overthrown if it failed to act against corruption, according to state TV.

Sadr, whose opinion holds sway over tens of thousands of people, including fighters who took on U.S. troops in 2006-07, had threatened to break into the heavily-fortified Green Zone that houses main government buildings, the parliament and foreign embassies.Representatives of Abadi's ruling Dawa party and Ammar al-Hakim, the leader of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq ‎were also present at the Kerbala meeting, according to state TV

Let’s talk today about this damned Amnesty law.
 
First let me say this law was initially conceived in 2005. Yes- it has been around a long time and has met much opposition especially by those corrupt politicians who have had their own “private” militias terrorizing the Iraqi people all these years.
 
So once again the General Amnesty law surfaces (for the 5th time in recent times…lol…) and they are telling us it is ready once again to bring to parliament for a final vote. I am hearing the Dowa party (again) has been holding it back since they wanted to include terrorists accused of the bombings (probably Iranian militia).
It is a strong part of the reconciliation process and Abadi reforms.   
 
I quote from the article below - "the law will include a large number of convicts and detainees, including those convicted of murder if there is a compromise and reconciliation with the victim," pointing out that "the law DOES NOT INCLUDE those convicted in accordance with Article 4 / terrorism”.
 
We know they are letting thousands of innocent prisoners out every week. So the article below confirms in fact they are NOT going to let the terrorists out. Remember also they already passed the Iraqi anti-terrorist act back in August 2015 so these prisoners will stand trial and probably be executed since terrorisms is now punishable by hanging in Iraq.
 
Opps did I mention according to the new law Maliki and many of his goons would also be incited on crimes of terrorism? Can you see now why the final version of this law keeps recycling? Can you see now how they are setting the stage for prosecuting many of these corrupt officials in the near future? Can you see how they are going to use the system to get them?
 
So we know the Amnesty law has been a “ work in progress”. It is done once again but still needs a final vote to be final and legal going forward (so they can get these bastard corrupt politicians later on…lol..) . I also mentioned to you many months ago this is a mandatory law prior to any RV. So this is all very good news, if they really go through with it this time. Just one step closer….lol…lol…We should all be excited in many ways of the things to come out of the full implementation of this law.

SADOUN'S: FINAL AGREEMENT ON A GENERAL AMNESTY DOES NOT INCLUDE TERRORISTS
 
3/5/2016
 
At one point during the past 3 years, there were over 100,000 people in prison, including men, women, children, and mostly Sunnis.  The prisons had Shai -I guards over the Sunnis, an arrangement done by Maliki.  Many people were put in prison due to artidle 4 of the Constitution, since Maliki accused everyone as being a terrorist, if they were against him.  Now, we see this MAJOR LAW ABOUT TO BE VOTED ON IN ITS FINAL FORM.  This law is needed to bring corruption into the court rooms, and assign the proper punishment for the crime committed.  Below we see a line of people, that appears to be people leaving the prisons. JMHO
 
Vice-Chairman of the Parliamentary Legal Committee Muhsin al-Sadoun said he "was a final agreement on the wording of the draft general amnesty law."

He said al-Saadoun told all of Iraq  "We discussed yesterday the home of the President of the House of Representatives general amnesty law in the presence of competent judges and display the main points of contention have been agreed upon." 

He explained that "the law will include a large number of convicts and detainees, including those convicted of murder if there is a compromise and reconciliation with the victim," pointing out that "the law does not include those convicted in accordance with Article 4 / terrorism." 

He guessed Sadoun "Showing law in future meetings and vote on all articles," stressing that this law "falls under the reform." 

The House Speaker Salim al-Jubouri, search at his home yesterday, with the parliamentary legal committee in the presence of a number of judges and experts and advisers to speed up passage of the amnesty law. 

The head of the parliament, "the need for the completion of the preparation of this law as soon as possible and the need to come out so as to ensure justice to all the slides and applies justice and help create a favorable climate for moving a successful project and a real reconciliation." 

The Chairman of the Legal Committee of Parliament Mahmoud al-Hasan said to [where] earlier, "a political convergence around a general amnesty law, through the re-trial of a number of suspects in terrorist crimes through giving them a new opportunity to re-investigation," pointing out that "the investigation will include a seducer and all of them doubted the charge against him ".

Update: Payment of Employee Salaries
 
I have to tell you this topic is like going down a rabbit hole as far as intel goes. I keep hearing many of these so called intel gurus telling their audiences to keep watching for the new rate to show on this damned SMART cards. Over and over again for over a year now they get everyone hyped up to watch for these cards.
 
Well I will tell you this – The new rate will NOT show until the RV happens and they are not now paying the people with the RV rate…period!  I have to tell you to stop watching for these damned SMART cards and I have told everyone many times already.
 
They do not have any impact on the RV. They do not drive the RV but rather will be an outcome of the RV.
 
If you want to know if the RV is happening then go to the source. I have been told by some very reliable people in the CBI to PAY ATTENTION to what is going on with the GOI and the CBI when they meet with the IMF and World Bank. They are in charge of forcing this RV when Iraq has met all mandates.
 
So I bring you this next article below.  This issue is important to watch. Why?
 
Because it shows us once again the CBI is not doing its job. Also note there is an expense to print newer currency to replace the old ones. An expense the GOI is not ready to occur anymore since there is a ton of the new lower denominations in storage warehouses ready for distribution. This is the reason for the hesitation.

It all makes perfect sense! Think about it! These lower denominations should have been distributed months ago to replace the 3 zero notes. This is really the problem here but nice article for us.

Most importantly please, please, please let’s not forget to keep praying for the success of THESE IRAQI AND COALITION SOLDIERS. I believe our prayers are in part some of the acceleration of the process we are now witnessing.  
 
Remember too to pray to the princess of peace – Our Blessed Virgin Mary. She has the ear of Christ and she can intercede in heaven and bring us the peace we all desire here on earth. We can not do it alone. I believe that if we all make this our daily prayer you will see change. It is already working even in the short time since I have been publishing this prayer section. It does not matter what religion you believe, if you pray then to your oven beliefs entity it is still the same powers and good for all of mankind. Ultimately it is all the same God anyhow.
 
“Lord, protect Abadi and all who stand with him in righteousness, the Iraq and coalition soldiers who are fighting the good fight against terrorism, that they would be shielded from the enemy and would be victorious against them in the battle for Mosul! We ask that the victory comes swiftly and healing of the Iraqi peoples and all whom have been effected by these evil doers can begin!
 
We pray for the process of the currency reform, the full implementation of  the Iraqi economy to full  international status and the bringing of prosperity and wealth to its people“  Amen!
 
Till next time…. Auf Wiedersehen!
