  4. Thanks Thugs, and good morning, Imo, HCL is a done deal, and has been for some time now. Something happened a while back that upset the Kurds and talks broke off, but the deal itself has already been drafted. We are still moving forward and, with a sense of urgency in the air, Iraq is complying with all guidelines set forth. Abadi will complete his mandate and bring Iraq back to its former glory. IRAQI MINISTER SAYS READY TO SETTLE OIL ISSUES WITH KURDISTAN REGION Iraq, September 20, 2017 Iraqi Oil Minister Jabar al-Luaibi said on Tuesday (September 19) he was ready for dialogue with the Kurdistan Region to settle oil issues. Luaibi said his country needs an oil price between $55 to $60 a barrel for a better financial situation, CNBC Arabiya reported on Tuesday. Speaking at an energy conference in the United Arab Emirates earlier on Tuesday, Luaibi said Iraq did not see the need for oil producers to reduce output further. Tensions between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and central government hit a high in 2015 after officials from both sides accused each other of failing to abide by the terms of an oil revenue sharing deal struck by officials in December 2014. Officials from Baghdad and Erbil signed a revenue sharing deal, under which the KRG would receive 17 percent of the federal budget in exchange for exporting 550,000 barrels of oil per day to the Iraqi State Organization for Marketing Oil (SOMO) at Ceyhan Port in Turkey. That deal collapsed months later when the KRG ceased transfers to SOMO altogether. Baghdad in turn stopped the transfers of budget payments. nrttv http://iraqdailyjournal.com/story-z15916369

  5. 24-09-2017 08:16 PM We send you the speech of the Prime Minister Dr. Haider Abadi to the Iraqi people In the name of Allah, the Merciful , the merciful , the sons of our Iraqi people, from the north to the south and from east to west and from the ease to the mountains and marshes and plateau and Sahara .. Peace be upon you .. wherever you were in these moments when the sons of Iraq spare their lives and their pure blood in defense of Mesopotamia and the unity of the country . In the days of the intensification of the war on terrorism and with the approaching final victory over Al-Da'ash in western Anbar, Hawija, and western Kirkuk and everywhere, the map of Iraq is being exposed to an attempt to divide those that would tear up the unity of Iraq and differentiate between the sons of one nation on a national and ethnic basis and expose them all to dangers. Severe. At a time when we unite the people and the fighters to repel the criminal gang, we are surprised by the calls for discrimination and a return to the era of darkness, domination and dictatorship. Tikrit, Anbar and Mosul have removed the danger from Erbil and the cities of the beloved north. This is a duty we owe and we will defend in every inch of the precious land of Iraq. Today, we confirm that we will not abandon our Kurdish citizens. We have rejected and rejected the sectarian state and the racist state. Iraq will remain for all Iraqis and we will not allow it to be the property of this and it acts in it as it pleases and without counting the consequences. The duty of leaders is to take care of citizens' affairs and to protect them from the dangers that surround them, not to endanger them and to bring them into conflict. What did the Iraqis gain from the conflicts that the tyrant Saddam inflicted on them internally and externally? Nothing but destruction and saturation of arrogance and domination and recklessness that led Iraq to loss and underdevelopment and loss of security and stability. The regime of the tyrant Saddam has oppressed all Iraqis by Arabs, Kurds, Turkmen and other components because he saw in all honorable Iraqis a threat to him and his tyrannical rule. Most Iraqis rejected this oppression and domination, but there was a misguided eagle of all nationalities aligned with the tyrant of Arabs, Kurds and other nationalities. It was also supported by Arab Baathists, Ba'athists and Kurds, as well as Arab and Kurdish Baathists, injustice and racism. After reminding us of these facts, all the Arabs were accused of accusing the people of Baghdad of injustice while the worst injustice was inflicted on them by a repressive regime. Of different nationalities. What should be explained to our dear Kurdish people is that most of the problems of the region are internal and not with Baghdad and therefore they will be consistent with the calls for separation, and the economic and financial difficulties in the region are the result of corruption and mismanagement. My words to the Kurdish people in particular: Ask the officials in the region where the money goes oil and they seized about 900 thousand barrels of oil per day, equivalent to a quarter of oil produced in the rest of Iraq .. Why pay the salaries of employees in the region, although reduced to the minimum levels with them On the quantities of oil much higher than the proportion of the population in the province compared to the rest of the cities of Iraq, while we are here in the center and despite the great economic difficulties and the cost of the high war did not lower salaries and did not stop. Ask the region's officials: Why do not oil imports enter a clear and public account that citizens know, as we do here in the central government, and why they do not allow financial control of public funds. These questions about the fate of the oil money of the region and the non-payment of salaries have been offered to the officials of the region several times, and directed the financial control bodies to do its duty, but, on the pretext of independence of the region, they reject the work of the oversight and integrity and consider it interference, while the real goal is to cover corruption and mismanagement. "These facts, although we have previously announced to the public several times, but we were not focused on the media and did not want to enter the media war in order to obtain fair and equitable solutions that preserve public funds and citizens' rights and within the constitutional and legal frameworks of the relationship between the government And the eleventh region. Public funds shall not be the property of persons and parties and shall pay salaries and gifts to supporters and leave the rest of the citizens. Another proof that the problems of the province is the internal freeze of the work of parliament for twenty-two months and the continuation of the provincial government without legal cover because of the policies of officials in the region. And these internal problems within the region will also be exacerbated, and there will be no support from either the international community or the neighbors because of the hostile positions of the regional officials against all their neighbors and against the international community, which are contrary to the interests of our citizens in the region. We can not continue to impose the status quo by force, and this logic will fail as the failure of the Baathist Baathist to impose on the Iraqis with brutality and the power of arms. The uniqueness of the decision affects the unity and security of Iraq and affects all its citizens and the security of the region through the referendum on the unilateral separation is a decision contrary to the Constitution and peaceful coexistence between citizens and will not be dealt with nor its results and we will have steps later to preserve the unity of the country and the interests of all citizens. Long live the one victorious Iraq and will remain for all its sons .. Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings. Dr. Haider Al-Abbadi, Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces

  9. 9-23-2017 Newshound Guru G-Lin Article: "The World Bank is asking the Iraqi government to provide jobs to restore confidence with citizens" ...art. last week from IMF was very emphatic with their instructions. Increase your value and eliminate MCP. I think they are waiting for the security issue they have talked about for 2 years now. And they are very close to accomplishing their fight against ISIS. That may be it. If the Parl. manages to vote that 2nd amendment for CBI through, it could be a timing issue after that. They don't tell us everything. If the debt to Jordan and to Kuwait has been addressed, that would lift them entire from Chap. 7 I believe. The banks have been and continue to be brought up to International standards. Money laundering and corruption are being addressed. Some new currency would go a long way in that corruption fight. Let Abadi take the credit for winning the war and if he gives the peeps some purchasing power, his spot for P.M. next year would seem solid IMO. We are getting there... One thing is for sure, with all of Iraq's wealth, this increase in value will happen...JMO.

PLEASE CONSIDER THE REMAINDER OF THE POST AS ENTERTAINMENT ONLY - ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my opinion, folks, this is some serious chunk of investment with17 billion Emirati Dirham so 17 billion AED x 3.6734 USD/AED = a whopping 62.45 BILLION USD Smokin'!!! Hey, and what is this small potatoe's bi'ness about 5.4 billion USD in Gubmint Loans???!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm......................................?????????????!!!!!!!!!! In my opinion, it is all about the investment monies. To me, this indicates the threshold of "international" and all that implies for Iraq - if not already there.

  18. CNN. Broadcasting From The CBI While Trying To Spread Some Of That Success Around To Their Worthless Currency ! Iraq is a success story 24/9/2017 We are used to reviewing the successful experiences of countries in facing the risks and challenges, and in advancing after the collapse, and I see that today we have to leave the box of frustration that is required for a long time, and pay attention to our experience as a success story that can be marketed to the world. In recent years, Iraq has been exposed to the most serious challenges that have threatened its existence, the people and the state, the challenges, risks and collapses that were capable of overthrowing any other country, but with Iraq, it is completely different, and faced by heroes of all levels with patience, hardness, wisdom and steadfastness. The collapse of oil prices, the collapse of entire cities, and the fall of a vicious criminal gangs, the collapse of morale among large sections of the people, to the extent that many of its policy experts on the speculation and ideas that Iraq will not return to what it was. The second choice was the one of choice for the Iraqis, and it is on this basis that the Iraqi people joined together to become a huge force that took the lead and managed to crush the frenzy. The whole world is with the Iraqis in their war against terrorism. For the first time, the international media has captured the sacrifices and the courage of the youth of Iraq with their various components. For the first time, all of us agree against a common enemy and everyone races for sacrifice. A big challenge almost collapses Iraq into the cycle of failure and collapse. From Baghdad Strong army and security services have the experience and courage counterparts lacking him in all countries of the world, and to mobilize a popular form of the bond in support of the Iraqi security effort, and the elite media lined up behind the armed forces to confront the intellectual terrorism and erase its impact psychological high morale. A strong Iraq that has faced the challenge of collapse and won the war against terrorism will win the battle to preserve its national unity, and Sinjo Iraq of all plots and selfish attempts to tear apart its land and cohesion of its people. Iraq today is a success story, the world will face it with great admiration, so we have to review our strengths and write about, and reproduce, to make them the lines of success story of his Iraqi men and the industry of the heroic sacrifice. http://www.alsabaah.iq/Article.....?ID=144852

To simply "protest" some sort of general "inequality" or "social injustice", or "whatever"... is the weakest-minded form of kumbaya expression, meant only to stir the pot and fan the flames of division. What is their message... individually, or as a "group"?!!! Reminds me of the "Occupy Protests"... no one could articulate it... and it dissolved... as it should. These "citizens" should be ashamed of themselves... of their ignorance toward the Constitution, and their inadequacy to create a true narrative. WHAT is their message?

  26. Towards economic leadership Economic and Financial Advisor Samir Nusairi Samir Nusairi The national economic elites in various jurisdictions must have an active role in analyzing and assessing the economic reality in Iraq over the past 14 years and identifying the failures, challenges, addition and fortification of the successful experiences and bright points that emerged during the suffering of Iraq from the financial and economic crisis which it is going through, And their love for Iraq and its people to be given the appropriate opportunity of the government because the Iraqi economy to its builders and the rest of its sons only experts and technocrats true. The observer and observer of the role of government institutions during the lean years passed by Iraq and is still going through since 2003 in terms of management of the Iraqi economy notes that there are failures and challenges and black pages related to the loss of methodology and the lack of clarity of policies and programs and the lack of harmony strategies developed in partnership with international organizations and experts and consultants with The reality of the Iraqi economy mono-resources, which depends mainly on oil revenue and the reason for this structural and structural imbalance in the economy and the lack of stability in the financial system and monetary system due to non-oil deficit and balance of payments deficit In addition to the lack of coordination between the fiscal and monetary policies, in addition to the mismanagement of public funds and the obvious weakness in the economic leadership of most of the governmental economic institutions, in addition to the failure to give an active role to the private sector in economic decision-making. All the above failures, combined with political and security instability and the war on terror, have led to economic instability and lack of vision to build a solid national economy capable of drawing the preconditions for a transition to a social market economy that I believe is the solution to our economic reality. The challenges presented above have created the pessimism and gloomy outlook of our economic future among many of our economic elites, but I believe and believe many economic, financial and local experts. I also consider that there are points and experiences prepared by some economic institutions over the last 14 years, clearly and effectively during the years 2015 - 2017), the years of economic and financial crisis suffocating. One of the highlights of this march is the experience of the Central Bank in supporting the national economy while maintaining its functions and objectives specified in its law. The most important achievement of the Central Bank is its contribution to achieving economic steadfastness and strengthening the decisive victory over terrorism. I do not want to clarify the executive and development procedures and build balanced relations with Arab, regional and foreign banks and its strategy for the next five years, the results achieved on the scope of monetary policy applications internally and convince the international financial organizations and most important official reports issued by them confirm the success of the policy of the Central Bank to achieve an important transition of the Iraqi economy from Gray phase to follow-up. The Bank has played a major role in supporting the national economy and strengthening the state treasury with JD21 trillion in addition to its various contributions and initiatives to activate the economic cycle, enhance liquidity in banks and maintain the salaries of employees. And the entitlement of contractors and farmers and reaching a re-bridge coordination between the financial and monetary policies and propose new economic and structural policies to prepare public budgets for the coming years and attempts to restore confidence in the banking system. The central bank has proved critically and economically its ability to interact and analyze the obstacles of work and create the conditions to overcome the challenges, and the road is still long before the central bank and the competent government in order to achieve a sound national economy, so I call on the national economic elite that loves Iraq and its people to interact with Points and light experiences and enrich them with their ideas, visions and proposals to build a strong national economy and overcome the challenges and correct the wrong tracks and dialogues transparent and calm without personal and partisan targets, because the abuse of our national economic institutions is the national abuse of the bride S and its proud people.

  30. #BREAKING CITY NEWS SEPTEMBER 24, 2017 / 3:14 PM / UPDATED AN HOUR AGO Iraqi government asks foreign countries to stop oil trade with Kurdistan Maher Chmaytelli BAGHDAD, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Iraq on Sunday urged foreign countries to stop importing crude directly from its autonomous Kurdistan region and to restrict oil trading to the central government. The call, published in statement from Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s office, came in retaliation for the Kurdistan Regional Government’s plan to hold a referendum on independence on Monday. The central government’s statement seems to be directed primarily at Turkey, the transit country for all the crude produced in Kurdistan. The crude is taken by pipeline to the Turkish Mediterranean coast for export. Baghdad “asks the neighbouring countries and the countries of the world to deal exclusively with the federal government of Iraq in regards to entry posts and oil,” the statement said. The Iraqi government has always opposed independent sales of crude by the KRG, and tried on many occasions to block Kurdish oil shipments. Long-standing disputes over land and oil resources are among the main reasons cited by the KRG to ask for independence. Iraqi Kurdistan produces around 650,000 barrels per day of crude from its fields, including around 150,000 from the disputed areas of Kirkuk. The region’s production volumes represent 15 percent of total Iraqi output and around 0.7 percent of global oil production. The KRG aspires to raise production to over 1 million barrels per day by the end of this decade. Kurdish oil production has been dominated by mid-sized oil companies such as Genel, DNO, Gulf Keystone and Dana Gas. Major oil companies such as Chevron, Exxon Mobil and Rosneft also have projects in Kurdistan but they are mostly at an exploration stage. However, Rosneft, Russia’s state oil major, has lent over $1 billion to the KRG guaranteed by oil sales and committed a total of $4 billion to various projects in Kurdistan.

  41. Disclaimer: I'm gonna let my mind go all "guru" and turn any headline into "RV Happening NOW"...even though I know better. The reason they are just now releasing this information is because it was supposed to be a secret "behind closed doors" meeting. Somebody important got caught and needed an alibi, hence the "we were training on security and fraud prevention...blah, blah, blah" ...Meanwhile the last day of the work week they are at the bank setting up all the extra de la rue machines up and prepping the banks for Sunday morning cash in! BOOM! RV NOW!!

  42. Thanks VERY much Thugs! I appreciate the effort and the emphasis you've made by adjusting the font for the 'big words.' When this thing hits, I look forward to knowing that clowns are smiling everywhere- along with 30+ size font of RV in past tense.
