Dubai police issue a statement on the alleged seizure of smuggled Iraqi funds belonging to Nuri al - Maliki 2019/09/11 14:45 Baghdad Today Dubai Police issued a statement on Wednesday, September 11, 2019, on a video that its publisher claimed was to seize contraband funds linked to the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki. The Lebanese journalist Maria Maalouf published a video that said, "The security authorities at Dubai airport seized a shipment of funds full of dollars stolen from the treasury of Iraq, estimated at hundreds of billions of dollars aboard a private Iraqi plane belonging to Nuri al-Maliki, which was intended to be smuggled to a European country." "This money is equivalent to the budget of 10 Arab countries for five years." Colonel Faisal Issa Al Qasim, Director of Security Information Department at Dubai Police, explained that "an African gang tried to defraud the person in the video, by identifying them through social media and then communicated with them and seduced them by their ability to double his money, luring him into an apartment containing dollars boxes. They then filmed him in an attempt to blackmail him and give him money, then he rushed to inform the General Directorate of Criminal Investigations, which in turn took the necessary measures to arrest them. " Al-Qasim said that "the person would have fallen victim to the gang without his awareness and the speed of notification to the General Directorate of Investigations and Criminal Investigations, which in turn hastened to uncover the truth." Al Qasem called on members of the public to be cautious and cautious about communicating with strangers and fake ads in social media and disbelieving them, and to report them through ecrime.ae's electronic communication platform or smart service "Police Eye" through the Dubai Police application or call 999 or 901.

Instead of posting a photo of the Twin Towers burning on Sept. 11, 2001, we wanted to share this photo of the Tower of Voices at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Somerset County. Standing 93 feet high, it features a wind chime for each of the 40 individuals who died on Flight 93 when the hijacked plane crashed in the field on that fateful day. It's often quite windy there at the 2,200-acre park and the sound of those wind chimes is breathtakingly beautiful. If you have a chance, visit the Flight 93 Memorial and never forget what happened on that tragic day.

CBI MAKES BIG BIG ANNOUNCEMENT… GETTING READY FOR THE “RECOVERY” OF THE DINAR TO IT’S FORMER WEALTH!! 9-10-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling Why do you feel so good about what's going on? It's because the people who put this together they're moving this forward - that's why. The language that they used at the beginning, 'We are going to start adding value to our currency and we want to participate in certain markets.' You're watching it literally happen before your very eyes... 9-10-2019 Intel Guru Frank ...the introduction of the description and pictures of the new small category notes and the coins, which in reality are called visual aids (there will be videos too)...IMO...will be be out before the end of this month of September...Part II: ...the satellite private banks information that they would be opening in the next two weeks: We got this information from our teams that were at the meetings with the CBI and approximated two weeks. That would still leave us 1 week left in the month of September...the description [of small notes & coins] is coming out IMO in two weeks. After that if they raise the value they can put the small category notes and coins in the hands of the citizens and they can open the 'satellite' banks...the three things need to come together...1, 2, 3... 9-10-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...there have been many discussions about a float over the years from the CBI, and economic experts in Iraq...Floating the currency is not some arbitrary or random event it precedes pressure created on their financial system otherwise the repercussions could be bad for the country...if significant investment is going to come into Iraq as expected it's going to create pressure. There has to be a mechanism in place just prior to relieve that pressure. That mechanism is a float...If you do not have a mechanism in place, the monetary stability in the country will be thrown completely out of whack. And the CBI could lose control over the currency as inflation skyrockets as a result...precautions need to be in place and tools are used to maintain the stability 9-10-2019 Newshound Guru Jeff I feel the formation of the government is secretly done. Just waiting to be announced. It has to be announced no matter what...the definite ones that have to be fulfilled right now are the Education Minister and the three remaining Vice Presidents...which they're doing this coming Saturday is what they've told us in the latest news... 9-10-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We are now hearing yet more international organizations getting involved with Iraq. Even the oil minister has stated Iraq is ripe for international investors. Really? Now even China...is stepping up and announces its willingness to invest in Iraq. This could lead to an economic revolution within Iraq. How can they survive and transfer funds to and from Iraq with this currency auction still in place? Do they want to mess with these 3 zeros? Don’t they want a normalized and simplified currency denominations to work with? The answers are Yes and Yes and they have already told Iraq this is the case. This is why the finance committee is pushing the CBI to complete the project to delete the zeros.

Time for KRG-Baghdad revenue handover deal running out: Iraq oil minister 1 hour ago | 109 Views Omar Moradi Iraqi Oil Minister Thamir Ghadhban speaks to Rudaw on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference on September 11, 2019. Photo: Rudaw TV Tags: Kurdistan Marivan Zrebar Lake Tourism fish Iraq oil Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Speaking to Rudaw on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference, Iraq Oil Minister Thamir Ghadhban warned on Wednesday that with 2020 budget allocation legislation imminent, time is running out for Erbil and Baghdad to hammer out their differences. Relations between Erbil and Baghdad plunged in 2014 when the Kurdistan Regional Government began exporting oil directly to Turkey. Baghdad responded by cutting the KRG’s budget share – one of the main reasons for a four year slash of KRG employee salaries. Iraq’s 2019 budget bill stipulates Iraqi federal government will pay KRG salaries regardless of whether other terms are honored. For other budget allocations, Baghdad requires the KRG to export 250,000 barrels of oil per day through Iraq’s state oil-marketing company SOMO and hand over all federal revenues to the central treasury - which the KRG has yet to do. Ghadhban said that in order increase the level of oil exported from Kirkuk to Turkey’s Ceyhan port, Baghdad is planning to build a new pipeline from Kirkuk to Peshkhabur, to replace an old pipeline which has severely been damaged by the Islamic State in the past. However, export increases to Western markets are not an immediate term priority, he said. Rudaw: How is the situation regarding relations between the KRG and Iraqi federal government? Thamir Ghadhban: They have generally been good since the election of Mr. Nechirvan Barzani [as Kurdistan Region president]. He came to Baghdad, and there was a fruitful meeting with His Excellency the Prime Minister of Iraq Mr. Adil Abdul Mahdi, which was followed by another meeting after the election and appointment of Mr. Masrour Barzani [as PM]. I attended the two meetings. There was an agreement between the two sides that...we are a unified country with sovereignty and that both sides should work together... to serve the people of Iraq, all over the country, whether in Basra or Erbil, and issues like the payment of salaries, like oil and gas, should be solved amicably between the two parties. Both sides agreed that our reference is the constitution. This was also followed by a meeting in Erbil. I was leading a delegation that met with his Excellency Mr. Masrour Barzani, and later we met the President of the Region of KRG Mr. Nechirvan Barzani. Of course, relations are better. Both sides are [determined] to solve issues between the two sides through dialogue to serve the country, to serve the people of Iraq and serve the people of Kurdistan. We agreed to further dialogues, and to forming sub-committees to look into oil and gas issues, to revenue-sharing issues and issues of security. Concerning oil and gas, how are the negotiations going? Which stage of talks are you now at? Is there a level of understanding between the two governments? First of all, I would like to say that there have previously been a lot of problems regarding solving these issues, how to agree on a common policy, how to market oil produced in the region of Kurdistan, the role of SOMO and how to deal with revenue generated from the sale of Kurdistan Region oil. We have agreed we should really prepare a list of a number of principles that should guide us, those who are going to engage in dialogue.I would not call it negotiations, because the federal budget law of 2019 is very clear. It [contains] rights and obligations. We in the federal government are now paying salaries of all the employees of the federal region of Kurdistan, and similarly for the Peshmerga within the budget of the Ministry of Defense [of Iraq]. But the law also states very clearly that the KRG should commit to the handover of at least 250,000 produced barrels of oil to the federal government so that SOMO, the marketing company of the federal government, can sell it on the international market and the money generated be deposited into the federal government treasury. Unfortunately, this has yet to be done. Of course there is a lot of dismay and disagreement, especially within the special committees and parliamentarians in Baghdad, about the KRG not adhering to and respecting the [budget] law, passed by the whole parliament and agreed to and voted on by Kurdish parliament blocs. Now, there is an exchange of papers between the two sides, and I hope those issues will be solved in meetings in the coming days, and that we both respect the implementation of the federal budget law – otherwise, there will be immense difficulties in the coming budget law of the year 2020. In your opinion, how long it will take for negotiations to bear fruit with the KRG to reach an agreement? Do you think Baghdad and the KRG will be done with these disagreements before passing the 2020 budget? I think it is in the interest of the KRG that we move forward swiftly. We should not [waste] time. We are now in September and it has been … almost seven months since the approval of the budget law. There are now detailed discussions taking place about the 2020 budget law within the federal government. I think we should not be taking our time. We should not talk about negotiation anymore; we should talk about working together and implementing the federal budget law, and also agree on the principles that will guide us both for the year 2020. Does the Iraqi government have any plans to increase the export of oil via the Kurdistan-Ceyhan oil pipeline? How much oil is now going through Ceyhan oil pipeline? We are currently exporting about 100,000 barrels of oil per day. Currently, we do not have a plan to increase export levels. This is simply because of the limitations of North Oil Company [Kirkuk-based state oil company] production capacity. Also a lot of oil [is] being processed at refineries inside KRG - the KAR refinery and Qaiwan refinery. We provide approximately 140-150,000 barrels of oil per day [to those refineries]. The main export route from the south, where we have ample capacity, because the biggest market for Iraqi oil is South-East Asian markets, rather than European Union or American markets. So, we will keep that level for next year. At the same time, we are now in the process of going ahead with the construction of a new pipeline from Kirkuk to Peshkhabur to replace the old pipeline which was severely damaged by the terrorist organization of Daesh [Islamic State]. Once we have that, and we have more connections with networks from the south, then we will be able to export more than the current 100,000 barrels of oil per day at some point in the future. In 2014, the Ministry of Oil in Baghdad filed a complaint against KRG officials [due to independent oil sales]. What is your view on this case and how it should be resolved? Well, it is within the federal court and has taken some time, of course. We are not really putting pressure [on case proceedings], but at the same time, [we want] the issues are solved amicably for the good interests of the whole people of Iraq, and a sound and sustainable agreement detailing that we have common policy. I am now facing difficulties with OPEC, as the KRG is producing increasing amounts without coordination with the federal government - a serious matter, of course. Our accord with OPEC is for the whole country, not the federal government alone. Therefore, whatever production is happening within the federal region of Kurdistan is accounted for as part of Iraqi produced oil. Thus, as I earlier said, once we have a common agreement, and we have a common policy to regulate the production and exportation of oil, I think all pending issues will be solved for the people of Iraq. Baghdad took legal action against Turkey with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in 2014 in Paris, after Ankara announced that oil from the KRG was being exported to international markets. What is your viewpoint now? Well, there is now dialogue between the two sides. We hope that we come to an agreement. The most important point, which is really a valid point, is that we have a bilateral state-to-state agreement [with Turkey], and that any use of the system by a third party should be done with the consent of the two parties. But what has been done in the past has been unilateral action, without the consent of the federal government. That is why the previous government complained, and I think they were right to do so.

Posted this in another thread some people did something

Well There’s our RV folks! 10 Arab Countries budgets for a period of 5 years in duffle bags on Malaki’s private jet! Would somebody nab this sumbitch?! Put that back in the Iraqi Treasury and flip the switch to its former glory already..... this is getting past the point of funny. It gone full r*tard already..... can’t Interpol do something? Or NATO or somebody with guns. He can’t be that untouchable

With the reforms that position is suppose to be nullified. GM DV

We are in the 11th month of the Go Iraq Series... in hindsight the Bros could have made it monthly editions which by now would put them into Go Iraq 11... I agree it’s certainly entertaining and newsy however I resist saying keep it up because I would like this to be the final edition for us all. 🙏

I did not catch it but after my day today I am really ready to walk away from this nightmare. I will be more than happy at a dime. Just curious why there would be a lower rate heading East or a higher rate going West.

I am liking this 😁. I think it is in the interest of the KRG that we move forward swiftly. We should not [waste] time. We are now in September and it has been … almost seven months since the approval of the budget law. There are now detailed discussions taking place about the 2020 budget law within the federal government. I think we should not be taking our time.

Head of the office, Faris Issa, told BasNews that the representative facility had been closed for several years, but that it was opened again to work as a "bridge" between the Kurdistan Region and Iraq as the two sides have agreed on resolving the remaining disputes through peaceful dialogue. He added that the KRG will expand the structure of its office in Baghdad "for the purpose of further activating and institutionalizing the office." "We want to make the KRG representative office in Baghdad an umbrella for all the Kurdish factions from the three authorities of legislation, executive, and judiciary from different Kurdistani political parties in Baghdad to address any issues in accordance with the Iraqi Constitution," Issa concluded.

The White House said Bolton's priorities and policies were incompatible with President Trump.

Went to check on my Jeep and the guy I know said it would be done SOON. Well, I'm back at the food court minding my own business. lol At least he didn't say in the coming days.

I’d love to see this too, but I’m not going to hold my breath. I’m thinking he’s so well protected at this point nobody can touch him. Come on Iraq, prove me wrong!!

I think we are pretty close to this happening. I have never made a prediction or given a window that I can remember. I think within 2 months in my opinion. There are way too many positive meetings going on, articles about notes and coins, formation of the government will be finished soon, more debt forgiveness and reconstruction of infrastructure will soon start which will take dinar (with a higher value) to do so. IMO.

Why don't we FIRE these idiots

time is running out for Erbil and Baghdad to hammer out their differences.

To answer your question who started the great divide of America. Imho it was Obama. Did you think people who didn’t agree with his policies were going to lay down and take it. No, they found a candidate that would fight for all us flyover people and deplorables, who like our Bibles and guns. We we know how much you hate Trump’s everything, you tell us every damn day.

Deep State FBI Given Hard Evidence of Hillarious Clinton-Linked $66 Billion Libya Scheme — Launched Junk Investigation Against Trump-Russia Hoax Instead In February 2018 Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) joined “Fox and Friends,” and revealed shadowy Clinton figure, Sidney Blumenthal, who was involved in the Benghazi scandal, appears to have been a key source for dossier author Christopher Steele. But now there is more to the story. According to Zero Hedge recently made public FBI records reveal that the agency virtually ignored evidence from private GOP-backed sources about a scheme in which Hillarious Clinton associates tried to exploit her position as Secretary of State in order to profit from the 2011 turmoil in Libya she helped to create, according to RealClearInvestigations.
