CBI is getting ready for his debut in the international market.! Go CBI Go international Go RV

I’m thinking they are using these articles to subliminally condition their people to seeing lower denominations.... They are saying it without saying it! Little less talk and a lot more action is what I’m hoping for!

Pokerplayer , Good Morning . To me it means a few things . Yet another country making changes to the currency and perhaps some kind of reform in France . Iraq will soon be International . They must be aware of changes to all currencies and monetary policies on an International level. I think its good news . Iraq heading for their big entrance into International status .

Good morning Yota and DV. Thanks for the interesting and intriguing posts. I can't recall the ICB issuing statements on foreign currency to the extent that this one does. "The central bank calls on all banks to inform their employees who are working in the field of foreign exchange..." This really spells international to me... Go RV!!!

Did we just get a major clue ? Banknotes of the Swiss franc are issued by the Swiss National Bank in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 1,000 Swiss

Yes there is, and the word is, DEMOCRATS.

BlueSkyLine, AND The Best Of Your Up Coming Week To You!!! The article did say: I suspect this is a delay to, "the next government" and not to go back to "square one" with this decision and especially within the allotted six month window from April 9, 2018 when this portion of the HCL passed by the previous Parliament and signed by the previous President was published in the Gazette. I also suspect Iraqi Oil Minister Jabbar al - Allaibi and Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi can do nothing other than authorize this specific piece Iraqi Oil Minister Jabbar al - Allaibi signed off on but then retracted due to the new Bicraqi Government not yet being announced as fully formed. I really suspect this will be announced within the next couple to few weeks and this will get reimplemented immediately since it had a maximum six month requirement and is now beyond that. Maybe reading between the lines but maybe there is a WHOLE LOT MORE significance to what happened here and how important this is for what we have been waiting for. So................................................. We wait and see. Ah, no never mind here. Just some more excitement, conjecture, thoughts, opinion, and for whatever THAT is worth!!! Hey, I really might be a nut job or somethin'!!! 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!!!)!!!

That Negerator is not right in the head. Starr

Thanks Starr ! The Judge don't lie ! Build The Wall !!!

SAY WHAT???!!! What in the world does THIS, "IMMEDIATELY RESPOND" "to the needs and requirements of citizens of services and a decent life" REALLY mean???!!! Looks like news of the, "Adel Abdul-Mahdi in forming the government within constitutional terms" is what we are looking for!!! Supposedly, the (maximum) 30 day clock started ticking at Adel Abdul-Mahdi's announcement as Prime Minister on or about October 3 which means that any day up to Friday, November 2 (twelve (12) days away) could be very, very interesting on the announcement of the Bicraqi Iraqi Cabinet being formed and the Bicraqi Iraqi Government being FULLY formed. The second round of the Insanian sanctions start on or about Sunday, November 4 (fourteen (14) days away) with the mid term elections to be completed on Tuesday, November 6 (sixteen (16) days away). I am looking for an action packed news portfolio in the next two and a half ( 2 1/2) weeks, how 'bout YOU???!!! Well, OK, just some more excitement, conjecture, thoughts, opinions and for whatever THAT is worth!!! Hey, I might be a nut job or somethin'!!! 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!!!)!!!

The second edition of 100 dinars,which is of the economic aspect is very important that the smallest currency in the country is 250 dinars and when buying small purchases by the facilitators less than 250 there is no smaller currency to return to the consumer by the seller and this causes extensive financial damage to the consumer Al-Khakani stressed the need to activate small currencies as it will generate economic and financial benefit for the Iraqi consumer, including the category of 50 dinars

Middle East Iraqi PM-designate sends proposed cabinet to parliament ahead of vote Sangar Ali | 2 hours ago Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Adil Abdul-Mahdi. (Photo: Press Office) Iraq Baghdad ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Adil Abdul-Mahdi has submitted his cabinet to the Iraqi Parliament for consideration before the expected voting session, a source said on Monday. Abdul-Mahdi is expected to present the names of his cabinet ministers to parliament later this week for approval before the constitutional deadline expires. According to the constitution, the Iraqi Parliament must vote on the government of Abdul-Mahdi before November 2. “Abdul-Mahdi sent the biographies of the proposed cabinet ministers to the House of Representatives ahead of the vote,” a Kurdish political source told Kurdistan 24. Iraqi officials say the Reform and Reconstruction Coalition, which is comprised of the two largest parliamentary blocs, dominate the list, holding most of the ministerial posts in the new government led by Abdul-Mahdi. Recently, a list of the alleged distribution of posts in the new government circulated Iraqi social media but was promptly revealed as false by Abdul-Mahdi. “There has been no report from the prime minister-designate’s office in this regard, and what is being circulated is absolutely false and baseless,” Abdul Mahdi’s press office said in a statement published on Sunday. The Iraqi Parliament is expected to hold a session to vote on the presented names of Abdul-Mahdi’s cabinet before the end of this week. Some sources have speculated the formation would be incomplete as Iraqi lawmakers may not approve some of the candidates. Editing by Nadia Riva

More good news ! Let us also not forget that the estimated 5 tons of gold taken out of iraq [one of the first thing US did after the invasion} ,has yet to make an appearance . These funds were allegedly included in the DFI ,minus the cost of the war .I bet you dollars to donuts that these funds are still being held by the US . This money ,minus what was pledged , belongs to the citizens of our great great country . As president , Trump acts as trustee for these funds . God only knows what would have happened to this money if Hillarious had gotten her meat hooks on it . She would have followed the "strategic patience " policy implemented by obama , giving even more money to Iran ,Syria , Russia ,ect.One of the first things Trump said on the campaign trail was that "we must be paid back for the war in Iraq "

Was she saying that they had come in legally or don't come in at all? She wasn't really clear in her message. (sarcasm) She is rightfully irritated.

LOL!

And you keep deflecting the discussion with another. You are like a ricochet. You bounce off a discussion and go in another direction. I can't have a discussion that way. My man brain likes to stay on one topic and not bounce around. My wife says I need a woman's brain to do that. She also said there is maybe a 1/1024 of a chance I have a feminine side.

the deletion of zeros from the Iraqi currency evidence of the strength of the Iraqi dinar exchange and return to the predecessor of his reign.  1 iqd =$3+

Wit? Love for his country? Something obamma did not have.

Our President Trump saved us, the American citizens and ultimately the world. All it took was 1 non politition that could not be paid off. Sadly, we can quickly return to the abyss once Trump is out of office and the deep state swamp things drag us down into the abyss once more. At least by then hopefully we have some RV money to help us along. Go America, Go RV, keep America Great, keep our pesident Trump safe.

The true winners of Trumps tax cuts are We The People. We have magic wand jobs coming back to the U.S.A record number of people off unemployment, food stamps. America has had it's eyes opened to the lefts desire to destroy America and the terrorist tactics of the Democrats. He has also shown that the swamps claim that every issue is so complicated that it takes decades to solve. He has done more for the American people in two years then the last three Presidents combined. We keep winning you keep losing. Get over it or get out there are plenty of people that love freedom and the right to succeed waiting to take your place in the Greatest Country In The World. People like you are nothing but a drag on this great Nation No Surrender No Retreat and No Compromise

Anything that treads on our moral values, family values, interferes with my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness is definitely an issue to defend. Allowing all this shenanigan lifestyle to to take priority is wrong. Get me straight on this, I don't condone their lifestyle but I do pray and love them as human beings.

Does this guy want cheese with his whinning? Good afternoon Yota and DV

I hope we have Guards on the Canadian side, Don't want them Pot Smokers coming over. LOL Starr

World Iraqi Oil Minister reverses NOC decree to take ownership of state oil firms Kurdistan 24 | October 21-2018 09:06 AM Iraqi Oil Minister Jabar al-Luaibi. (Photo: Reuters/Thaier al-Sudani) Iraq Baghdad Oil ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraq’s Oil Minister, Jabar al-Luaibi, reversed his decision to transfer the ownership of nine state-owned oil companies from the ministry to the newly formed National Oil Company after opposition from Iraq’s Prime Minister-designate, the ministry confirmed on Saturday. In an interview with state media, Luaibi stated that Iraq hopes to produce seven million barrels of oil per day (bpd) through the National Oil Company and export four million bpd in 2019. He reversed his decision to transfer ownership two days after issuing the decree. The move will enable the new government of Prime Minister-designate Adil Abdul-Mahdi to make its own decisions in the oil sector, Iraq’s Oil Ministry said in a statement. Luaibi is the current Oil Minister in the outgoing government led by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. Abdul-Mahdi had reportedly been “annoyed” by the original decree which had been “made in a rush and without his approval,” a senior Iraqi oil official told Reuters. Luaibi had issued a decree on Thursday to transfer the ownership of nine state-owned oil companies, including oil marketer SOMO, from the Oil Ministry to the newly-formed National Oil Company, which Luaibi also heads. The nine state-owned firms included in Luaibi’s decree, are SOMO, the Iraqi Oil Exploration Company, the Iraqi Drilling Company, the North Oil Company, the Midland Oil Company, Basra Oil Company, Dhi Qar Oil Company, Maysan Oil Company, and the Iraqi Oil Tankers Company. On the same day, Abdul-Mahdi called on current Iraqi officials in the outgoing government cabinet to refrain from signing urgent deals, making non-essential hires, or other critical decisions. The Iraqi federal government last week named Luaibi as head of the new National Oil Company, which is to serve as an umbrella organization for all state oil companies. The positions of company chief and minister are not related, but Luaibi currently holds both. In March, the Iraqi Parliament voted to establish the company, which is meant to manage the country’s upstream operations, freeing up the ministry to set plans and strategies to develop the sector. In an interview with state TV on Saturday, the Oil Minister stated that his country hoped to export one million bpd through Jordan’s Aqaba port, without offering more details or a specific timeline.
