TSVETANA PARASKOVA Tsvetana is a writer for the U.S.-based Divergente LLC consulting firm with over a decade of experience writing for news outlets such as iNVEZZ and… More Info Iraq Transfers State Oil Firms Ownership To New National Oil Company By Tsvetana Paraskova - Oct 18, 2018, 6:00 PM CDT Iraq’s Oil Minister Jabbar al-Luiebi decreed on Thursday the transfer of the ownership of nine state-held oil companies from the oil ministry to the newly formed National Oil Company, Reuters quoted oil ministry spokesman Asim Jihad as saying in a statement. Al–Luiebi is also head of that new national oil company, and he made the decision in his capacity as company chief, not as oil minister, Jihad noted. The nine companies that will go under the ownership of the new national oil company are state marketing company SOMO, Iraqi Oil Exploration Company, Iraqi Drilling Company, North Oil Company, Midland Oil Company, Basra Oil Company, Dhi Qar Oil Company, Maysan Oil Company, and Iraqi Oil Tankers Company. Last week, al-Luiebi was appointed president of the INOC. Earlier this year, the Iraqi Parliament voted to re-establish the national oil company that was dissolved back in 1987, when it became part of the oil ministry. The new oil company will manage the upstream operations in Iraq, while the oil ministry will be in charge of the strategic and regulatory decisions. Iraq is in a government transition period after months of political deadlock following the general elections in May. Earlier this month, the new president of Iraq, Barham Salih, picked a former oil minister and finance minister—Adel Abdul-Mahdi—as Prime Minister-designate. Abdul-Mahdi called upon outgoing government officials not to sign urgent contracts, make non-essential hires, or make other key decisions, although, according to Reuters, it’s not clear if that call was related to al-Luiebi’s decree to transfer the ownership of the state oil firms to the new umbrella company. The PM-designate Abdul-Mahdi, meanwhile, said on Wednesday that he would present his picks for the new government for approval next week. Abdul-Mahdi has until early November to form the new Iraqi cabinet. By Tsvetana Paraskova for Oilprice.com

I dunno, folks!!! I am READAE' to do some of these in the FRONT YARD!!! This looks, smells, AND feels like the HCL being IMPLEMENTED!!! These last few articles appear to reflect HCL related legislation approved earlier this year and looks like it is NOW gaining traction!!! Maybe more Good News forthcoming on the Federal Court HCL ruling that was SUPPOSED TO BE rendered on October 3 that was postponed due to the need to complete the newly elected Bicraqi Iraqi Gubmint!!! This article is from YESTERDAY, the same day the Bicraqi Iraqi decided to play nice through the CBI branches and Ministry of Finance in Erbil and Sulaimaniyah with implications of "financial inclusion" for the Bicraqi Iraqi Citizens!!! Not "official word" of the implementation of the "HCL" but sure lookie like the elements of the "HCL" are being IMPLEMENTED NOW!!! I suspect there have been agreements between Baghdad and Bicraqi Iraqi Kurdistan to implement the conditions of the HCL in the formation of the Bicraqi Iraqi 2018 - 2022 Gubmint. Maybe news on Article 140 to pop out soon, too???!!! We'll SEE!!! I suspect the Cabinet formation is having some last minute jockeying to get all the agreements so things transition smoothly to the new Bicraqi Iraqi Gubmint so I suspect "git 'er dun" is being applied from elsewhere, too. The upcoming crude oil sanctions will hit Iran Sunday, November 4 and is a mere sixteen (16) days away!!! One potentially viable option is the weekday CBI daily currency auctions in the "closed economy" will have to stop to crimp the Insanian funding of their terrorist machine and go to an "open economy" with an internationally valued Bicraqi Iraqi Dinar. My connect-the-dots may be more like etch-a-sketch scribbles and MUST be IGNORED!!! The Good News has been POURING IN the LAST few DAYS!!! Well, OK, just my fantasizing, conjecture, thoughts, opinion, and for whatever THAT is worth!!! Hey, I might REALLY be a nut job after all!!! CAVEAT EMPTOR, Reader!!!

2019? ... That's 77 days Away..

If what I am reading from your post is correct, then your describing a LOP which some people believe in. I highly doubt that this will occur, but that what we will see is a removal of three zeros from the current rate which fluctuates around .00086 at the moment. By doing this we would have a rate of .86 -1 Dinar but in some cases is calculated as $ 1.18 to 1 Dinar. by different folks here. This very topic has been flogged to death here on the site so I suggest do a little reading and your sure to find numerous explanations on this very same thing. Hope this helps. pp

Hope So, GregP, AND The Best Of Your Weekend To You!!! Here is a little background on the guy who wrote the October 12, 2018 article DinarThug posted: Ahmed Mousa Jiyad Ahmed Mousa Jiyad Petroleum Development Consultant Articles(s) by this author Profile Ahmed Mousa Jiyad is an is an independent development consultant and scholar. He studied and graduated with B.Sc. in Economics (Univ., of Baghdad), Post Graduate Diploma in Planning (Univ., of Birmingham, UK), M.Sc. in Development Studies (Univ., of Bath, UK) and MA, Law and Diplomacy (Tufts and Harvard Universities, USA).

Following is an excerpt from the The last paragraph quoted is accomplished nominally ten calendar days later by the consolidation of the companies mentioned via the recent news articles even though conflicts, at least somewhat, with the previous portion in the quoted section. As a result, the Federal Court may have more to say on the "Federal Oil And Gas Law" forthcoming that contradicts the information in the October 12, 2018 column. So, no matter how messed up things appear, there does appear to be remarkable ways to ACTUALLY "git 'er dun" without any "independent development consultant and scholar" input or direction.

Great Point, Theseus, AND The Best Of Your Weekend To You!!! Hey, I did mention the customary but necessary "disclaimer"!!! If I remember right, there were three portions of the HCL with one of them being passed by the GOI relatively early in the year allocating 10% of the crude oil revenues to the Iraqi Citizens. The content of the most of the recent articles in this thread appear to relate to one of the other three portions of the HCL. What I like is the announcement of the formations of these companies under the "National Oil Company" separate from the Cabinet "in order to start direct investment" that appears to be related to a second of the three related to the HCL. Whether or not there is "this requires intensive, complex and long term efforts and may not work in the end" is likely Iraqlish for "we have all our options on the table at all times and are pursuing everything simultaneously to find things that benefit us" that is likely not an indication of any direction or accomplishments they will have for any given day or time. What I find interesting is the news in the past couple months or so with regard to the Federal Court issuing a ruling related to the "Federal Oil And Gas Law" or something like that to infer, at least to me, there are viable constitutional elements to get the "Federal Oil And Gas Law" or something like that elements implemented via the Federal Court. The Federal Court was supposed to rule on this October 3 but decided to wait until after the formation of the newly elected government. Who knows what horse trading was actually done to get where things are now with implications for the future, even very near future? As always, just my conjecture.......................................................................... Of course, may or may not be a rendition of reality. CAVEAT EMPTOR, (every) Reader!!!

Spygate: The True Story of Collusion [Infographic] How America’s most powerful agencies were weaponized against President Donald Trump BY JEFF CARLSON October 12, 2018 Updated: October 13, 2018 Although the details remain complex, the structure underlying Spygate—the creation of the false narrative that candidate Donald Trump colluded with Russia, and the spying on his presidential campaign—remains surprisingly simple: 1. CIA Director John Brennan, with some assistance from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, gathered foreign intelligence and fed it throughout our domestic Intelligence Community. 2. The FBI became the handler of Brennan’s intelligence and engaged in the more practical elements of surveillance. 3. The Department of Justice facilitated investigations by the FBI and legal maneuverings, while providing a crucial shield of nondisclosure. 4. The Department of State became a mechanism of information dissemination and leaks. 5. Hillarious Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee provided funding, support, and media collusion. 6. Obama administration officials were complicit, and engaged in unmasking and intelligence gathering and dissemination. 7. The media was the most corrosive element in many respects. None of these events could have transpired without their willing participation. Stories were pushed, facts were ignored, and narratives were promoted. Let’s start with a simple premise: The candidacy of Trump presented both an opportunity and a threat. --This is a long read, see link below-- https://www.theepochtimes.com/spygate-the-true-story-of-collusion_2684629.html

This looks like a way to make sure all the oil exported will be accounted for. This includes Kirkuk ,Basra and the Kurdish region. If this figure of (all) the oil is close to accurate, it makes the HCL much easier to divide up the percentages cut out for the Region. This is great imho

I think this might be to "throw everyone off". They don't want to tell everyone what's coming yet. I'm not sure at all, of course. I just hope I'm right.

it's being reported now that the caravan is turning around at Mexico's southern border. This is what happens when you got balls.

Yup combined with all the banking news.. I say it’s go time

I agree with you caz ! Living on a border state you see it all, the good, the bad and the ugly. Lock that SOB down ! Some of my best workers are from down in from all of those countries......but they have green cards and I'm ok with that. Get legal or get out ! Go President D-Rex Trump ! Go DV ! Go RV ! Actually the President could issue warrants for all illegals and I'm sure there are a lot of good ole Texas boys that would "round them up" in a hurry. Just give us a drop off point and in 2 weeks problem solved. Hell Yes !

We send millions of $$$$ to these countries to help them out and then they migrate/invade our country and receive million in social aid. If that keeps happening the only recourse is to stop the money and lock down the borders.

Spoken like a TRUE leftist. And of course none of what you speak is ever instigated/ participated &condoned by the your left brethren... and.please don't speak about morals. What side identifies with anti-life? ..... but I guess selective morals is a common theme with the Left as is selective outrage.

These guys are going to do it without notice

They could also be ready now.. just waiting for the new notes to come out..not sure why they would wait much longer..imo

Take a moment and think about this logically..... You have a Saudi embassy on Turkish soil...... Obviously wired illegally so everything in the embassy could be recorded by the Turks..... Like the Saudis didn't know this was the way it was..... Then you have this hit squad walk through the airport with all the surveillance...... Undoubtedly they would know they had all been identified........ Then they go to this embassy walk in through surveillance being identified....... Then supposedly kill this man...... In the midst of the employees that would work at the embassy....... Then carry him out in pieces...... In bags or suitcases...... And Fly away..... Then you have the whole family history....... Which has been outlined in other threads..... And yes he was a reporter although that was not his full time livelihood...... So who stands to gain in this situation....... Is it all about oil prices....... Is it about making Trump look weak..... Perhaps affecting the mid term elections........ Perhaps this a gentleman needed to disappear and this is all a ruse...... Would anyone think the Saudi hierarchy would be so stupid as to do this in this manner....... I believe there is far more to this story..... And in time we will learn all the facts......CL

Trump Vows To Send Millitary, Close Southern Border To Block Migrants by Tyler Durden Thu, 10/18/2018 - 07:57 24 SHARES TwitterFacebookRedditEmailPrint As another "migrant caravan" has swelled to more than 4,000 hopeful "asylum seekers" marching toward the US's southern border, recently prompting the Mexican government to dispatch 500 additional border guards to its border with Guatemala, President Trump threatened tosend in the military and close the US's southern border with Mexico in a tweet Thursday morning, after threatening to withhold aid from Honduras earlier in the week. After bashing Democrats for pushing for "open borders" and Honduras and Guatemala for having "almost no control" over their populations, Trump demanded that Mexico "stop this onslaught" at the country's border with the US. If they fail, Trump threatened to ("in addition to stopping all payments to those countries") "call up the US Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!" The new caravan, which began in the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula with 150 migrants, has swelled in size. It's the second caravan from Honduras this year. Trump added that "the assault on our country...including the Criminal elements and DRUGS pouring in, is far more important to me, as President, than Trade or USMCA," adding "hopefully Mexico will stop this onslaught" before declaring it's "all Democrats fault for weak laws!" Twitter Ads info and privacy Twitter Ads info and privacy Twitter Ads info and privacy It probably goes without saying that closing the southern border would be incredibly disruptive to trade between the US and Mexico, in addition to angering the most willing partner in the newly forged USMCA trade agreement. Then again, Trump is probably hoping that his staunch immigration stance will help galvanize his supporters to vote in the midterms, as reports about another migrant caravan have brought the immigration debate back to the forefront of the US political debate. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-10-18/trump-threatens-send-millitary-close-southern-border-migrant-caravan-approaches

INOC was founded in 1966. In order to protect Iraqi national interests, the company was forbidden from entering into partnerships or granting concessions to foreign oil companies. The only foreign aid came in the form of the Iraq-Soviet Protocol, which was a contract with the Soviet Union that required the country to give technical and financial aid to INOC. By 1980, the company had a production capacity of 3 million barrels per day. However, the outbreak of war with Iran severely damaged production capacity. Subsequent war prevented the return to 1980 levels. The company was scrapped by Saddam Hussein in 1987 and broken into several regional companies. Starting in 2009, there was talk of rebuilding the INOC. Iraq is estimated to have 115 million barrels of oil in its reserves and it is expected that, barring any further setbacks, the INOC can reach production of 3.5 million barrels per day by 2014. There has been a bitter dispute in the Iraqi parliament since the fall of the Hussein government as to the portions of profits that will go to each of the three major groups. The Shiite, Sunni, and Kurdish factions have been unable to reach an agreement. The Kurdish faction has actually begun producing its oil fields, against the edict of the Ministry of Oil, and currently has a production capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil per day. The reason why I posted this is because it appears that Iraq has reinstated the old Iraq National Oil Company under the new National oil company. Saddam disbanded and split up the company and now it appears that they have now merged them back again ie: North oil company. Why are we waiting on a supposed new HCL and when it appears they have had one in place since 1987 and have just reverted back to it with no doubt amendments.

More control on the quantity of oil produced ... good news.! Go hcl Go RV

I agree with synopsis. This baby is done!

10-18-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Right now we are waiting for the new designate PM to form his government, which is his cabinet of ministers that run the government. We know the constitutional deadline is Oct 24th in which to do this. The new speaker just told us...that he fully expects to hold a vote to ratify the new cabinet within this timeframe. We know the USA refuses to sign off and give a full commitment to reinstate the dinar unless they see a stable new government. One of the conditions they have give is to form their new government. Iraqi news reports that Prime Minister-Designate Madhi will present his cabinet choices on Saturday Oct 20th and Parliament will hold a special session on Sunday for voting. 10-18-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty In Iraq, source says Maliki is thinking of withdrawing from the new government formation process. Previously it was stated Maliki would maintain his position as deputy president in new government. 10-18-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We all are aware that the dinar, as it stands today, is worth much more than the program rate now assigned by the CBI. But this higher rate must be realized by supply and demand for the currency. Just be reducing the amount of dinar in circulation down from about 150 trillion to 44 trillion dinars alone is showing us the CBI is serious about this plan. It is only when the dinar is re-pegged to the SDR basket and then gets reinstated to the open market trading platforms once again, as it was in pre-war days, that the dinar can potentially go to a much more substantial rate. Many call this the “revaluation” or RV but technically an RV never really happens. It is a “reinstatement” that occurs that eventually gives the dinar back it former rate (glory days) plus more. 10-18-2018 Newshound Guru Phillyman ...Abdul-Mahdi is supposed to finally present at least half his cabinet next week but as I read in one article there still are issues. Quote: "According to the sources, the debate is still large on the ministries of defense and interior and foreign affairs and finance and planning..." But, the big article of today to me is the GE news...The Trump administration intervened to quash a $15 billion deal for Siemens Corp. to develop power stations in Iraq, instead persuading Baghdad to sign an agreement with General Electric Co., two administration officials said. Article quote: “This is part of very strong campaign of engagement in Iraqi government formation and a very targeted effort to support the Iraqi government and minimize Iranian influence,” 10-18-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Article: "OPEC Secretary General calls on oil producing countries to increase production" ...It was not too long ago that the "Oil and Petroleum Exporting Countries" came to an agreement (unanimous, if I recall correctly) to work together on regulating the production of oil, as a sort of "emergency" measure to keep the markets under control in some uncertain times. They all agreed to control their production. They made a big deal out of it. Iraq's position in this agreement is HUGE... mostly because they are barely even mentioned in all 39 of those pages!!! ...(post 1 of 2)...Reposted.. 10-18-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Iraq, with a very significant chunk of the black gold available to us on this planet, somehow slipped through the cracks and didn't even have to raise a hand in agreement with this major agreement that was put in place by some tiny insignificant countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, wait a minute... those are NOT tiny or insignificant! Quite the opposite, in fact - they are major players. Some of the OPEC members have substantially less resources than Iraq. This is important to remember because to this very day, Iraq has not made any promises to abide by the current agreement. This gives them the full ability to stockpile reserves, and flood the market at a moment's notice, which could bring in an enormous pile of cash to use in any way they want...You know, like... funding an RV. ...(post 2 of 2)...REPOSTED..

SAY WHAT???!!! The Bicraqi Iraqi NOW are deciding to play nice via the Central Bank of the Bicraqi Iraqi (CBBI) AND Ministry Of Finance Branches???!!! What in the World IS GOING ON???!!! Hey, and what about all "THEIR CASH DEPOSITS"???!!! The Bicraqi Iraqi are NOW getting in on this NOW???!!! What this suggests to me, and I could be way, way off and out there, is the banking protocols have been consistently established through ALL the CBI and Ministry Of Finance branches down to the "financial inclusion" of the citizens even in the Kurdistan Region!!! So, why the normalization and establishment of the protocols, asset transfer, etc., NOW???!!! I wonder what agreements were made to make this happen since it seems to be a HUGE milestone achievement for equal and equitable financial capabilities throughout all of Iraq for ALL Bicraqi Iraqi Citizens to maybe include the imminent implementation of the HCL payments to ALL eligible Bicraqi Iraqi. Otherwise, why do this???!!! Just my conjecture, thoughts, opinion and for whatever THAT is worth!!! CAVEAT EMPTOR, Reader!!! In The Mean Time............................................................. Go Moola Nova (YEAH AND YEE HAW, BABY, READY WHEN YOU ARE BROTHER (OR SISTER) - LET 'ER BUCK!!!)!!!

Shabs He's definitely classless in his dealings with those he opposes and thos that oppose him. One would expect more from a POTUS, but quite frankly I would also expect same from the supposively neutral MSM & Left. Difference between him and MSM/Left they've had decades of a head start
