Mountain Goat says that his days are numbered as your guru

However there is a stronger, a more spiritual side to the ending of this RV saga. Since this light at the end of the tunnel is the end of the corruption, the end of Maliki and the Iranian influence in Iraq. It is the end of many of the leaches, who were bent of bringing the country of Iraq down while they filled their pockets with loot, causing death and despair to countless of civilian citizens in the process. Yes – we can now see an end to these days and a new light for the people of Iraq.

This is really my message today. A message of HOPE and great JOY.

So I need to begin today’s news letter with a couple paragraphs from Osama al Sharif’s article
Published — Wednesday 26 August 2015, in the Arab News.

I did not include the entire article since today’s news letter is already is very, very  long and it is enough to read. Like so many  of my long news letters, please print it out, pour yourself a cup of hot coffee and relax in you favorite arm chair. You are going to be here for a while.

No – I am not going to give you a quick date and a rate since you caneasily get this from these other so called intel “gurus” you trust and admire so much.. So go to them and ask for their date and rate and “exchange procedures”. Go to their Q & A and ask them about Vegas. This news is not for you since we seek truth here and real intel.   

However for today I tried to slice out the important parts of this article and I hope you can now understand more clearly just what is going on in Iraq. This is my purpose. As you will see it has been a power struggle and now has many faces. It started just prior the 2014 elections but it has been stirring for the last 4 years of the Maliki administration. One side is political, another face is economic and yet another is security. 

There are the good Sheites (Abadi patriots) and the other side is the Maliki Sheites (Iranian backed). Yes –Maliki still holds much power and this is why he is still around. There are also the Kurds and the Sunnis who seem to be joining Abadi by the thousands more and more each and every day as these reforms take shape. Everything is changing and the speed is now on warp drive. 

But kindly read what I have included below since it explains it all in more detail. Thanks.

Piece of Article below:

 Al-Abadi was almost certainly Al-Maliki’s choice it the 2014 elections. Both belong to the pro-Iran Al-Dawa party, which is headed by Al-Maliki. The latter had hoped to continue to run things after he was appointed vice president. Even after his ouster he still controls 93 seats in the parliament.

But Al-Abadi soon realized that Iraq was on the brink of collapse as a result of sectarian divisions, rampant corruption, failing public services, poor relations between Irbil and Baghdad, ill-trained army and the looming threat by Daesh. For him to rally the Iraqi people behind him he had to demolish Al-Maliki’s legacy of corruption and sectarianism. The public protests provided him with an opportunity.

But Al-Abadi must brace himself for a backlash, especially from influential behind-the-scene players. The question is can he carry out his reforms agenda to the end? The fact that religious Shiite parties are divided may help him in the short run. He has the backing of Al Sistani and the charismatic cleric, Muqtada Al Sadr, among others. But the biggest challenge will be to restructure the judiciary if his pledge to hunt down and prosecute corrupt officials is to be taken seriously.

Al-Maliki is already fighting back. He has important influence over the Shiite militias, the Popular Mobilization, who are supporting the army’s campaign to liberate Al-Ramadi and Fallujah in Al-Anbar province from Daesh militants. The militias have been accused of committing atrocities against the Sunnis and are being led by Iranian advisers.

For Al-Abadi to succeed he must first win the confrontation between pro-Iran factions, under Al-Maliki, and the nationalist flank that is supported by the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council and the Sadri movement and backed by Shiite clerical authorities in Najaf. The outcome of this showdown could determine the future and integrity of Iraq.

Today’s News

Today is Friday August 28th and still we have no news of an RV, nor will there be a window for one at least until mid September when they hold the PTB hold the next review of Dr Abadi’s progress, as was planned for in the last Paris Conference in June. I am not saying an RV in mid September so please do not put words in my mouth.   

But I will say there is just so much progress being made in Iraq I hardly know where to start telling you about it today. This is very apparent by all the news articles I bring to you today. Don’t want to read the articles? Then how will you know what is truly going on in Iraq. Oh- you have a secret government contact. Really? He is bringing you all the news you need and its going to RV this weekend. Really? So tell the news then and why you feel it going to RV this weekend.

Many of you might think some of this news is gloomy but then again is the glass half full or half empty?

I tend to look at it this way – We had to bear the Maliki gloom and doom, the stalling and procrastination over the last eight years of the Maliki administration. There were days when only a third of the members of parliament showed up for a session. Now at least someone (the new prime minister Abadi ) is shaking things up and the status quo has definitely been changed. The pendulum is swinging in the other direction now and Iraq now has much more momentum in the right direction.

How long will it take to get to the end of these reforms? At least long enough for them to complete the currency reforms we are waiting for. Who knows for sure but we do know this week they have told us they would like to put the dinar on a currency float and at least are considering it seriously with all the pros and cons of the subject matter. WOW !

They are also telling us that money laundering and corruption in regards to the currency float is the major obstacle. WOW !

They have passed the Parties Law this week (amazing! ) and they are  pushing aggressively towards the Judicial Reforms next week, the National Guard Law (maybe tomorrow). We know by passing the Parties law anyone alleged of criminal activity (or under investigation) can no longer hold office or receive immunity. This is HUGE for insuring the downturn of Maliki.

I personally feel once we get these other laws passed we will see the Federation Council announced and the official announcement of Dr Allawi as the president of it. You see there will then be 4 presidents residing in Iraq. We are seeing right before our eyes this new government take shape.

We heard about this money laundering years ago too and so on the surface this is nothing new to us. Supposedly Dr Shabibi maintained a steady dinar value and found ways to stabilize the currency, fighting the laundering was part of the process. But it was always an ongoing battle. When he sucked in the 3 zero notes he seemed to be able to control it but this problem  keeps resurfacing. Why?

But this time it is different. A new spin is being taken to the anti-corruption process of money laundering. There is now support from the government (GOI) this time. How is this any different from the past? 

Well in the past the CBI could not get any support from the Maliki administration to combat money laundering.Why? BECAUSE IT WAS HIS PEOPLE DOING THE MONEY LAUNDERING! He stood to make billions.

This week the CBI is also telling us there is plans for a near future bond drive, that will be issued to raise capital for the economic crisis and try to balance the budget. Iraq needs funds in local currency and not in hard currency, so the central bank is preparing to launch bonds in local currency for sale in order to strengthen the local currency.

These are NOT international bonds but are to be sold within country only meaning “nationally” sold bonds. So don’t get carried away and put on your RV glasses as of yet.

How will the Iraq citizens pay for these bonds? They will pay for them using the large 3 zero notes, thus the CBI will suck in yet more of the provisional currency. The CBI told us they have a surplus of foreign currency (US dollars) so they will pay out the premiums on the bonds in US dollars. What other foreign currency does the CBI have in surplus? What other foreign currency do they dare introduce to the Iraqi citizens? 

US Dollars of course is the only logical choice since they country is all but re-dollarized once again anyhow.

This is good since then eventually, when the lower denominations come out, they can exchange the US dollars (now almost 80-90% of Iraq currency) for the lower denominations, thus flooding Iraq with hard Iraqi lowe denom dinars with higher revalued currency (when the timing is ready).

Since money laundering is ramped for the old 3 zero note dinars, the CBI is telling us this will get yet even more of these large 3 zero notes off the streets, out of corrupt hands and back to the CBI. A win win for the country of Iraq in the process of currency reform. Thus will also help eliminate or lessen the money laundering of the dinar. They have done this tactic in the past too and it always seems to work.

But they also need now to clean up the cause of the corruption or it will only begin again once the new lower denoms are out on the streets and is traded INTERNATIONALLY. This would be a HUGE problem. So do you see how this combating money laundering is yet another one of Abadi’s reforms but not just a tactic for the CBI but also now a GOI reform since this time they want to clean up also the ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. No temporary fixes. 

This time they also expect the CBI’s plan to clean up the money laundering it to work but there is a difference spin in it. The difference now comes since they know the ROOT CAUSE, the  three ring leaders (referred to as the “three whales” or “kings of the market”) of the money laundering. Oh no! They are actually political figures? Does this surprise you?

Abadi is going after these three political figures on money laundering charges. Will Iran like this? Will this also shake up Iran? Maybe this will lessen the continuance of these corrupt practices when they are prosecuted and used as an example. This money laundering HAS TO STOP.  Iranian influence HAS TO STOP.

So why is money laundering so important all of a sudden?
Do they want billions of dinar going into the wrong hands when the value increases?  Is the RV then dependent on this part of currency reform?  Do you get my point?

Are the reforms then important? Are you kidding me? YES, YES and YES again…..I rest my case….

So can we all now agree to stop this frugal argument between intel providers in our community once and for all and at least come to mutual agreement on this subject matter?

NO REFORMS NO RV….GET IT ?

So here are the many articles today on all of these topics I have just talked about above in my summary for you. I included them for all those bozo the clown intel gurus who seem to call me crazy and a liar. Read them for yourselves since they are not my words but the words coming from Iraq itself.  No RV hype, just the facts. Plain and simple !

How a Currency Crisis in Iraq Risks Fight Against Islamic State (Bloomberg)

Falling oil price is reducing revenue used to fund military.

Dollar reserves have tumbled 20 percent as dinar weakens.

Any currency crisis usually comes with dire consequences for a country, and the threat of one in Iraq shows how the impact can go beyond the economy and markets.

A foreign-exchange crunch because of a drop in oil prices could force a devaluation of the dinar and risk making the fight against Islamic State militants even tougher. The nation, currently OPEC’s biggest producer after Saudi Arabia, is dependent on oil revenue to fund its operations on the battlefield and quell growing unrest over the economy.

Iraq's Looming Dollar Shortage
Dollar reserves tumbled about 20 percent to $59 billion as of July 23 since the fighting escalated a year before, and the losses are accelerating. In the first 25 days of August, the central bank sold $4.6 billion of currency to keep the dinar at a pegged rate, a daily outflow of about $184 million, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

“Iraq’s perfect storm means the country will continue to lose reserves until the government of Iraq decides to devalue the dinar,” said Frank Gunter, author of “The Political Economy of Iraq.” The currency could weaken as much as 20 percent over the next year, he said

Might ask anybody, how could Kuwait occupied by the former regime and lost everything to restore prestige to the dinar (who was in a competitive race with the Iraqi dinar so that overcomes one over the other little difference to the very beginning of the eighties of the last century), and how Jordan was able to maintain fixed exchange rates

Several years ago, a sink indebtedness and the aid-dependent and does not involve the fortunes of the oil it imports crude oil from Iraq, although it adjoins (Israel) have fought many wars and has a constant threat because of unwanted neighbor?

And how withstood the Libyan dinar after the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime and the proliferation of militias and tribal divisions? And although we have the part of the answers to these and other questions, we Snhjb our answers because they may pose views on the subject, it is needed is not a number of opinions, but a detailed and clear facts, facts and numbers and names answers, a subject must Taatkvlh neutral parties and should preferably be international in order to be referred to eliminate Iraqi when you confirm the existence of suspicions of corruption, subject of such importance should be subject to review and investigation and audit and accountability and that does not pass unnoticed, because it relates to the wealth of Iraq during more than 12 years and some are wasted and ran away without the benefit of the country and reflected on sustainable development but poorly too.

It goes from our compatriots to any country in the world impressed due to witnessing the progress and services, while we Nckoa all of the deficiencies and shortcomings in most aspects, despite the annual Mdjulatna of oil revenues alone may draw five times or more of balancing those countries, oddly enough The demonstrations, which the country is currently witnessing sometimes focus on topics very much simpler than the economic problems experienced by Iraq,

The country is on the verge of a real setbacks when the price of a barrel of oil up to $ 30 or less, because the state will be insolvent in its affairs management may be forced to enter the enormous indebtedness guaranteed Oil or national sovereignty, and can pass such topics easily as long as the salaries paid Bmeidha or after a delay for a limited number of days, and still wound is bleeding in the area of selling the dollar in the Iraqi Central Bank auction, Valambiet up to $ 250 million a day and sales of oil does not exceed 4 million barrels per day with an average price of 40 dollars per barrel, which means that daily oil revenues are less than sales, and what baffles if oil revenues up to $ 160 million a day, so how can the auction sells $ 250 million a day and where to go these sales? It's a complicated question is asked constantly convincing answer but did not get it after the citizen.

Despite the tremendous sales of the dollar (former and current), which estimated value of the current chairman of the Finance Committee in the Parliament, Dr. Ahmad Chalabi of more than $ 300 billion, the real exchange rate of the citizen is the price of 1230 dinars per dollar, which means that efforts to stabilize the exchange rate policy in order not to hurt citizen of the volatility of exchange rates is real, Valtzbzb brought the price to 1480 dinars per dollar did not fall into what it is until after the Federal Court approval to repeal the Council of Ministers of the amendments to the House of Representatives on some budget 2015 materials including setting the exchange no more than $ 75 million a day , also suggesting that the absence of any port can citizen on the dollar gets it at the price of the central bank when his desire or having to travel outside of Iraq for the purpose of (the Hajj, Umrah, treatment, tourism, etc.), and are resorting to
 banking that choose Offices exchange rates outside the mainstream at the central bank prices, it was really strange to think that the Iraqi Central Bank is a tool to manage the money and the economy, even though he was on monetary policy because the economic and financial policies must be developed and managed stakeholders out, as that of unjust watching on bank sales Central without creating a convenient way for the delivery of the dollar to the citizen, because it is the legitimate right and not a share of (thieves).

IRAQI ECONOMY: PUZZLE BETWEEN CORRUPTION AND FLOAT CURRENCY      

http://rawabetcenter.com/archives/11607

With the continued erosion of oil prices and talk about the steepest drop in the coming days, the disaster looming on the horizon for the Iraqi economy battered, Will lead to the entry of the country in economic trouble may be difficult to predict future Banekasath.

As mentioned in a previous article, that the economic crisis experienced by Iraq produced a number of crises that had an impact on the lives of Iraqi citizens, especially the crisis staff salaries delayed and disrupted thousands of vital projects on level of infrastructure, not to mention the benefits and obligations of other companies. In short, it is the stage could call it difficult labor phase.

and foreshadowing the current reality of the Iraqi economy is very difficult circumstance would pay more crises especially with rampant corruption apparently was or secret, and classified Iraq as part of the most corrupt countries in the world, according to Transparency International, which stretched budgets General of the State. Today is the fear of resorting to reduce salaries to reduce expenses, which will be held the economic and social landscape of the country.

RESORTING TO FLOAT THE DINAR
some reports indicate that the Iraqi government may resort to the liberalization of the dinar which will not solve the financial problem in the country, but would have disastrous effects on Iraqi citizen in the first place. On the other hand, the flotation is the port for speculators in the market to carry out money laundering and manipulation auction currency within the central bank.

What do we mean the currency float Floating?
First has to be to make it clear the concept of floating currency and what are the repercussions on the lives of the citizen and the country in general to understand the consequences of such a hold on life citizen.
We mean the currency float is to let the exchange rate of a currency floating rise and fall with demand and supply in the money market, and the introduction of waves Balaattabarmistoy liberation of the national economy, and the adequacy of its performance, and flexibility of its production apparatus.
In order to understand more of the process of flotation, the Central Bank of the State to leave the exchange currency in local currency rate ( Iraqi dinar and foreign) such as (the dollar) is determined dinar according to the trends of demand and supply on the dollar, if the demand for the dollar in the foreign exchange market has increased (dollar market), the dollar exchange rate tends to rise, and if the demand for the dollar has fallen, the dismissal rate tends downward.

It is the risk of this process that it opens the door to money laundering and diversion of corrupt money from the Iraqi dinar to the free currency in order to smuggle them out operations.

A study that Iraq is seeking to edit the national currency, which is considered, according to the experts that the float of the dinar in the interest of Treasury but on the other hand the tragedy of the lives of the Iraqi citizens that lack of oversight contributed to the presence of many corrupt and financial mafias, who took advantage of the situation in the country, whether political or security or economic, to achieve a very huge financial gains due to the absence of official censorship institutions.

Here we highlight the speculators are manipulating currency market known as the "three whales" or so-called some of the title of "the kings of the market" illusion of senior corrupt who Aguetatwa funds Iraqis and resources of the country:

• Hassan Nasser Jafar and who stands behind a bank across Iraq, one of the defendants subject of an auction of foreign currency and buy dollars from the central bank, has the exchange of Baghdad in Amman and has suspicious activities in this regard, according to a government report released in July this year, Nasser has several transform informal offices sell money orders out of Iraq illegally and outside the scope of the Iraqi Central Bank Law , leading to negative effects resulting from money laundering operations.
• Hamad al-Moussawi Bank Huda director, a senior accused of money laundering Foreign remittances, and manipulation auction sale currency.
• Ali Ghulam, executive director of the Bank of the Middle East, and accused of fraud and accused of trespassing on public money , and the owner of lists of import counterfeit and transaction banking suspicious.

These three names, and many others are still Tlhoa money Iraqis, because of their relationships with lobbies within the government of politicians and senior civil servants, which contributed to the continuing work of these whales in spite of reports and cases detected exceeding the public money.
And here we must refer to the Iraqi authorities claim to hold accountable those people, and return the stolen money to the Treasury, it is part of its efforts to prevent the fall of the country into the quagmire of bankruptcy and economic collapse.

In conclusion, we should offer a number of comments that could contribute to stop the bleeding Iraqi economy in general and the banking system in particular, as follows:
1. Prosecution of traffickers and corrupt public money who Aguetatwa Iraqi funds and be enormous wealth for themselves.
2. Iraq today is an urgent need to reform the banking system and on the head of the Central Bank and the banking correct policies.
3. Stop interference in the bank's policy by the executive, legislative and other institutions authorities whether it be directly or indirectly.
4. for sale. Addressing the process of money laundering and economic crime and the smuggling of hard currency from Iraq, and know where the money that is dollar-buying by the source..
5. The establishment of an economic court with an independent authority concerned with the economic and criminal side, through the eyes brought before arising from the application of the laws relating to crimes of bankruptcy and supervision away from the interference of official figures and politicians suits.
6. Contribute to resolving a large part of the financial problem experienced by the country due to low oil prices, through the diversification of sources of income.
7. Compensate the poor class in society and affected by the manipulation mafias money at the price of the dollar by the influential central bank previously.
Iraq today is going through the most severe historical stages and the economy today is cracking horribly and talk about future plans is a form of wasting time, the need today is an urgent because each official and the national citizen turn to save the country from the clutches of traffickers and corrupt public money who pose a threat to the country for at least the level of terrorism that has ravaged the country.

Update: Ongoing Reform Laws

Many have said that I am exaggerating the need for completion of the reforms in Iraq. Really?

Some intel “gurus” are filling your heads with the notion that all the reforms are now done. Really?

Oh - What planet do they come from? Do you know anything about what is happening in Iraq or are they still just being subservient to those telling them what to  pump to you?  You know who I mean.

Well below are two articles for your reading pleasure just in case any of you doubted or still doubt mnt goat’s sanity on this subject matter. Please see them below.

When I tell you about these reforms I am also following a plan given to me that Iraq is using to rebuilt Iraq from the disasterous days of the Maliki administration. I am slowly rolling out this plan to you as we see it unfold.

Yes- it is a mess and the new prime Minister Abadi is working desperately to maintain solvency and avoid a huge economic blowout that could lead to major political instability. He is doing this through the recently seen corruption reforms and the ongoing planned reforms (reform laws) he has coming out in subsequent weeks ahead.

At this point we can expect to see much more shaking up and exposure of the political leaders in this area of concern namely those involved in money laundering and corruption. Stay tuned this is going and its going to get very rough before it gets any better. I am told they hope to achieve much and at the end, (hopefully by mid September timeframe), they will begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel for coming out of this crisis.

Maliki Update

Many have emailed me about the article below and asked me if Maliki will get immunity back and prevent his prosecution (since they are about to hold his trial).

First let me say Maliki knows if he stands trial he will be convicted and his sentence will be death by hanging.
He will suffer the same fate as Saddam. So his intentions now are to delay the inevitable in the hope of gaining time to figure a way out of this mess he has gotten himself into.

All I can say is that this (article below)  is a strategic political move by Maliki and will backfire on him. I can already see the next move by Abadi but I will not spoil the ending or the fun for you.

I do not know how Abadi or Jubouri will work it out but I do know if they will able to formally charge Maliki for his crimes in time since he can not sit as a parliament members due to this nature of his criminal status, if he is formally charged.

So will they rush his case to the courts and get the formal indictment on time as needed? Is there some other trick in the game of chess that Abadi will play out? Remember there is also the international INTERPOL right on his heals who would luv to get him too. So who will get him first?

Is this interesting or what?

We all know the end to this game of chess. Maliki will get destroyed (checkmate) in the end since it is just a matter of time and how the game finally ends. Let’s watch and see how the pawns, rooks and nights are moved around the board…lol….

I luv the game of chess and no one in my family or my close friends can beat me…. I also luv this kind of drama…..
