Mnt Goat News Brief 8/20/19
Hi Everyone,
I bring you much news today.
Remember last Thursday’s newsletter? Not much to report then but now the flood gates have opened and the news is pouring in.
So, let me recap on the news today. The parliamentary finance committee has decided that the CBI needs to move to the next step of the “project to delete the zeros” and put the Iraqi dinar on a “level playing field” with the rest of the middle east currencies.
Yesterday they came out with the announcement to re-mint the Iraq coins once again. They are saying they now need to put together legislation in which to give the CBI permission to do so.
Didn’t the CBI plan this step all along to provide coins as part of the project to delete the zeros? Weren’t coins part of the smaller category notes all along? Didn’t they already try to issue them back in 2004 unsuccessfully?
The answer to these two questions is YES, YES and YES! However, now they are going to do it again and they just told us they are going to do it. This is the important part. When they do, will they need a rate change? This is the important part of all this latest announcement.
So in 2004 the CBI issued the 25, 50 and 100 dinar coins but soon withdrew them. Why is this important?
We know they must someday move to the next step of the project to delete the zeros. The CBI already somewhat moved forward already putting emphasis on the 250, 500 and 1000 dinar denominations as petty cash for the citizens. Remember I told you then the next denomination we should be looking for is the 100 dinar. So if they follow the procedural next step, as we think they will do, they will now be issuing at least these same three denominations of smaller categories in coins once again meaning 25, 50 and 100 dinar coins. To do this they will need a higher exchange rate. But before we all go out and buy champagne and jump up and down let us look at some variables here that need to be answered first.
So what do we watch for next? Let us look at the FACTS.
NO Hype, No Rumors,,,,,just the FACTS!
1)They will need this piece of legislation they are telling in today’s articles that will need to get passed by parliament to allow the re-minting of these coins.
2)What denominations do they plan to re-mint? They do not tell us in today’s articles. Will it be the 25, 50 and 100? Using the term “re-mint” in the articles today suggest they do. Incidentally Syria just announced it will issue new Syrian banknotes 25, 50 and 100. Is this coincidental? The currency in Iran is the Iranian rial. Coins are available in denominations of: 50, 100, 250, and 500 rials. Is this coincidental. What is going on here? Just so you know I am not supporting any notion of investing in the Syrian pound or Iranian Rial/Toman. I just wanted to note these FACTS.
Are they (the IMF and World Bank) trying to put in place a “level playing field” for these currencies? So, again this is all taking place right in front of everyone’s noses yet it get very little attention from all these idiot gurus of yours. Why? Because they are so busy telling you about this crazy notion of their so-called GCR and their so-called basket of currencies, that they are not paying attention and over looking to the rest of the world. They are side tracking you for a reason. Someone is giving them this bad intel to do it. Someone is using all these gurus.
3)Remember if they are going to use coins now to transact business among neighboring middle eastern countries, they will need to send in their orders to re-mint much, much more of them. Will they change over to a new design or use the coins from 2004 to start? Minting a new design will take time and you know how Iraq is in making a decision. But no fear – I believe they will use the exact some coins from 2004.
4)How they will distribute and circulate these coins as the lower denominations? These coins cannot be placed in the ATMs. This will be interesting to watch how they do it.
5)I want to note that the CBI recently added a new link to their site called “know your money”. Here is the link https://cbi.iq/page/92.
It currently is empty but I am told they plan to load it with the explanations of the newer smaller category coins they are about to re-mint.
Just like I have been telling everyone all along. We DO NOT HAVE TO GUESS or make these stupid assumptions or opinions to find out when they intend to increase the value of the dinar against the dollar. I said THEY WILL SIMPLY TELL US and EDUCATE US and so now they are doing it.
My CBI contact has told me that Iraq will keep us abreast of the new developments and we can read the same articles the citizens of Iraq can read. They are keeping their promise.
There are no secrets or reasons for coming up with these ridiculous banks stories or every day / any day timeframes.

BAD INTEL ONCE AGAIN
So, this jerk TNT Tony is once again filling everyone’s heads with this immediate RV crap. How can they RV when parliament has not even passed the needed legislation (they just told us they need) to get the coins re-minted. This will take time and then they have to somehow issue and get them into circulation. Right off the bat we know this jerk is jerking us all around with his bullshit. Relax and let this coin news come to full reality. It will. The last time we heard about the re-issuing of these coins was in the summer of 2012. I remember it like it was yesterday. Articles back then told us that the CBI planned to issue these same coins in September of that year. Then what was supposed to happen (scheduled to happen next) was the reinstatement of the dinar in January 2013. We know this for a FACT this is not opinion or conjecture. They have since told us they had in FACT planned to do it then but had to postpone it due to the Nori al-Maliki corruption.
Let me summarize:
Are we going to do down this same road of 2012 again? It seems to be playing out that way. If we do I am once again pointing to this January 2020 timeframe which seems that maybe they are tracking to once again. Oh – did I not say this in March that we might have to wait until then?

They are still playing the take from Peter to pay Paul game instead of addressing the debt and helping to pay it down somehow. Maybe a reduction in spending and increased revenues might help. Oh – what a novel idea….lol..lol..lol… If we ran our Gasthaus this way we would have been out of business a long time ago….lol..lol..lol.. )

But when will they “reinstate’ the dinar back to the global currency exchanges? This is what we really want to see happen and is when we go to the bank and not a moment before. Get it. Not before! )

IRAQI INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES LINKED TO IRAN ARE SMUGGLING CASH OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO AVOID FINANCIAL SANCTIONS IMPOSED BY THE US TREASURY
Iraqi individuals and companies linked to Iran are smuggling cash out of the country to avoid financial sanctions imposed by the US Treasury.
Despite technically being denied access to US dollars by Iraq’s central bank, they are exploiting the bank’s daily auction of hard currency by employing middlemen to convert Iraqi dinars into dollars. The funds are then transferred out of Iraq using private exchange offices.
“In previous months, the daily release rate of the dollar at the currency auction was between $150 million and $180 million, sometimes up to $200 million. In the past few days it has reached $270 million,” the owner of a large currency exchange and financial transfer office in Baghdad told Arab News.
There is “no noticeable justification” for the sudden increase in dollar purchases, exchange operators said. Traders at Shorja Market, the largest wholesale market in Baghdad, told Arab News the surge in remittances could not be explained by any changes in the market, where there had been a shortage of hard cash since the end of last year.
Daily buying and selling remained weak, they said. One prominent banker told Arab News:
“Traders have nothing to do with this fever; 80 PERCENT OF THE REMITTANCES THAT WERE MADE THIS WEEK WERE CASH TRANSFERS AND WILL BE DELIVERED BY HAND.”
On July 18, the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control imposed financial sanctions on groups and individuals including two commanders of pro-Iranian paramilitary groups and two former governors supported by Iran. The sanctions were imposed under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, targeting “perpetrators of serious human rights abuses and corruption,”and banned any financial dealings with those named.
In response, the Central Bank of Iraq issued a circular to all Iraqi banks ordering them to freeze the accounts of anyone targeted by sanctions and prevent their access to funds.
There was a wave of criticism and anger from Iraqi politicians and leaders of armed factions, especially those associated with Iran, who complained of “unilateral sanctions that violate Iraqi sovereignty and target Iran and its allies in Iraq under the pretext of human-rights abuses and corruption.”
The protests were accompanied by heavy pressure on Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi and the governor of the central bank to change the policy. Four days later the bank issued a new circular that limited the financial freeze to US dollars only, permitting withdrawal of Iraqi dinars. It was then that the surge in dollar purchases through middlemen began.
Bankers said depositors were withdrawing their funds in Iraqi currency "to avoid attracting the attention of the US Treasury, which monitors the movement of the dollar in Iraq.”
Iraqi security officials, members of parliament and armed faction leaders told Arab News that most politicians and commanders associated with Iran, or who enjoyed its support, were “deeply concerned” as they believed they could be targeted by US Treasury sanctions at any time. This has prompted them to withdraw their money from Iraqi banks and transfer it abroad to “minimize the damage.”
“The sanctions have deeply confused and concerned them,” a senior Iraqi national security official said. “They began to withdraw their money from Iraqi banks and settle their financial assets with the Iraqi government to reduce the damage and avoid having their assets frozen and property seized in the event of sanctions.
“Our information suggests that they transfer most of the money to private companies in Dubai, and use some of it to buy property, both inside and outside Iraq.
“Actually, this is not new. THEY HAVE BEEN LAUNDERING THEIR MONEY FOR YEARS, BUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED NOW IS THAT THE SANCTIONS HAVE ENTANGLED THEM and forced them to change how they do it.”
(Mnt Goat – Why is this such BIG news all of a sudden. We all know this has been happening since 2011. What I want to know is what are they going to do about it to stop it? They never tell you that part. )

In ending I want everyone to know your constant prayers in the fight against evil (ISIS) in Iraq have worked. God has guided these young men and women on the battle field. The major war with ISIS has been over since Dec 2017. Let us all know that there is a new battle now to fight. A battle to save our homelands from the corrupt politicians and secret societies who are bent on taking what they want from our current wealth and from future generations without our permission. We must keep praying for the end to the rapid corruption and enslavement of people in Iraq and in the United States. We must pray for our leaders when they are being guided by the Holy Spirit. We must stand by them and let them know we are still there to support them, even after the election is over. I have composed a prayer maybe we can all pray today in our own way and until the reinstatement of the Iraq dinar occurs.
PRAYER
“For all leaders of all nations, that they may be anointed by the Holy Spirit to do God’s will to bring about abundance and prosperity to all.
To fight this waging war on corruption, our freedoms, our liberties, socialist plans and injustice.
That the FREE WORLD may be a shining example for the rest of the entire planet.
In the name of Jesus Christ our King and Savior, Amen”

IRAQI INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES LINKED TO IRAN ARE SMUGGLING CASH OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO AVOID FINANCIAL SANCTIONS IMPOSED BY THE US TREASURY
Iraqi individuals and companies linked to Iran are smuggling cash out of the country to avoid financial sanctions imposed by the US Treasury.
Despite technically being denied access to US dollars by Iraq’s central bank, they are exploiting the bank’s daily auction of hard currency by employing middlemen to convert Iraqi dinars into dollars. The funds are then transferred out of Iraq using private exchange offices.
“In previous months, the daily release rate of the dollar at the currency auction was between $150 million and $180 million, sometimes up to $200 million. In the past few days it has reached $270 million,” the owner of a large currency exchange and financial transfer office in Baghdad told Arab News.
There is “no noticeable justification” for the sudden increase in dollar purchases, exchange operators said. Traders at Shorja Market, the largest wholesale market in Baghdad, told Arab News the surge in remittances could not be explained by any changes in the market, where there had been a shortage of hard cash since the end of last year.
Daily buying and selling remained weak, they said. One prominent banker told Arab News:
“Traders have nothing to do with this fever; 80 PERCENT OF THE REMITTANCES THAT WERE MADE THIS WEEK WERE CASH TRANSFERS AND WILL BE DELIVERED BY HAND.”
On July 18, the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control imposed financial sanctions on groups and individuals including two commanders of pro-Iranian paramilitary groups and two former governors supported by Iran. The sanctions were imposed under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, targeting “perpetrators of serious human rights abuses and corruption,”and banned any financial dealings with those named.
In response, the Central Bank of Iraq issued a circular to all Iraqi banks ordering them to freeze the accounts of anyone targeted by sanctions and prevent their access to funds.
There was a wave of criticism and anger from Iraqi politicians and leaders of armed factions, especially those associated with Iran, who complained of “unilateral sanctions that violate Iraqi sovereignty and target Iran and its allies in Iraq under the pretext of human-rights abuses and corruption.”
The protests were accompanied by heavy pressure on Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi and the governor of the central bank to change the policy. Four days later the bank issued a new circular that limited the financial freeze to US dollars only, permitting withdrawal of Iraqi dinars. It was then that the surge in dollar purchases through middlemen began.
Bankers said depositors were withdrawing their funds in Iraqi currency "to avoid attracting the attention of the US Treasury, which monitors the movement of the dollar in Iraq.”
Iraqi security officials, members of parliament and armed faction leaders told Arab News that most politicians and commanders associated with Iran, or who enjoyed its support, were “deeply concerned” as they believed they could be targeted by US Treasury sanctions at any time. This has prompted them to withdraw their money from Iraqi banks and transfer it abroad to “minimize the damage.”
“The sanctions have deeply confused and concerned them,” a senior Iraqi national security official said. “They began to withdraw their money from Iraqi banks and settle their financial assets with the Iraqi government to reduce the damage and avoid having their assets frozen and property seized in the event of sanctions.
“Our information suggests that they transfer most of the money to private companies in Dubai, and use some of it to buy property, both inside and outside Iraq.
“Actually, this is not new. THEY HAVE BEEN LAUNDERING THEIR MONEY FOR YEARS, BUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED NOW IS THAT THE SANCTIONS HAVE ENTANGLED THEM and forced them to change how they do it.”
(Mnt Goat – Why is this such BIG news all of a sudden. We all know this has been happening since 2011. What I want to know is what are they going to do about it to stop it? They never tell you that part. )

In ending I want everyone to know your constant prayers in the fight against evil (ISIS) in Iraq have worked. God has guided these young men and women on the battle field. The major war with ISIS has been over since Dec 2017. Let us all know that there is a new battle now to fight. A battle to save our homelands from the corrupt politicians and secret societies who are bent on taking what they want from our current wealth and from future generations without our permission. We must keep praying for the end to the rapid corruption and enslavement of people in Iraq and in the United States. We must pray for our leaders when they are being guided by the Holy Spirit. We must stand by them and let them know we are still there to support them, even after the election is over. I have composed a prayer maybe we can all pray today in our own way and until the reinstatement of the Iraq dinar occurs.
PRAYER
“For all leaders of all nations, that they may be anointed by the Holy Spirit to do God’s will to bring about abundance and prosperity to all.
To fight this waging war on corruption, our freedoms, our liberties, socialist plans and injustice.
That the FREE WORLD may be a shining example for the rest of the entire planet.
In the name of Jesus Christ our King and Savior, Amen”
Auf Wiedersehen
Much love to ya all,
