  1. Good afternoon DinarVets! This is a general update regarding last weeks chat. The real short story is this: Iraq is in a sweet spot right now, VIP is good, you should join here, and today is the last day to save money using coupon code "flash". I posed a question in the last update about Panamas roadways, and it caused a little bit of confusion. (Spoiler alert…. The answer was “Ecuador”. ) Sometimes I forget that not everyone travels the world like I do, and when I reference things that aren’t common knowledge, some of you rightfully ask why I said what I said… for example, why would I talk about Panama when this is a Dinar site?! It’s a completely understandable question. I wanted to answer it, so I started writing. The words were flowing and before I knew it... I had written about 5000 words related to Iraq and Panama, but I had also touched on China, Germany, Malta, and four (4!!!) other countries - and I was just getting started. I thought to myself, "Jeez, Adam, you better cut some of this out - nobody wants to read a dang novel!" It was challenging. "Cutting words out" is a tough thing to do when you want to explain a complex (yet simple) subject, but I did my best. I chopped it up and cut a lot out and the following is what I am going to share this fine day. We will start with a short explanation on the Panama reference. Iraq is meeting with China this week, and China may be stepping in to develop some infrastructure in Iraq. Here in the US of A, the majority of our roads are taken care of by the US government. Sure, a lot of the work is done by individual companies, but those companies are primarily US companies. The taxpayers here pay for the roads, and that tax money pays the workers. The US has a large workforce (supply of money via tax slavery) and endless resources thanks to our fiat currency, but let's not get too far off track - let's discuss the roads. Some roadways have tolls, which generate income for the state that the roadways are in, supposedly to take a burden off of the taxpayers… I say “supposedly”, because Illinois comes to mind. You know, the state with a city holding the strictest gun laws yet has one of the highest gun crime rates, one of the highest tax rates in the country yet they still have a ridiculous amount of tolls, and ohhhh boy I could get on a rant here about how inefficient government can be, but I’ll save that for a Post RV gathering over drinks. Panama is a small country that thrives on outside money. Their roads are important, and there are tolls there, but the Panama government (rightfully so) doesn’t focus on their roads. They are outsourced…. Ecuador had the majority of the work on the major roadways when I was there last, and they also collected the toll money. Pretty sweet deal for Ecuador, since they don’t have a Canal to pull money from. It was also pretty smart of Panama. They pull in huge revenue from the Canal, but they make another substantial portion of their income from their Corporate services. They don’t need to waste their resources on the roadways when they are making tons of cash on their other assets… … Iraq is in the same situation. They have a major asset in their OIL, and it makes sense for them to potentially let China come in and handle things like roadways and other infrastructure. This China thing could be a MAJOR jump ahead for Iraq if it’s done right. China isn’t new to this game. Neither is Iraq. The point above was pretty simple, and the big picture is also simple, if you’re looking for it. Here’s a fact that this post, and my last weekly update, centers on: I have seen a major opportunity in the value of the Iraqi Dinar for a long time. Many of you do as well. As a community we have weathered a lot of delays, but that doesn’t take away from the potential. The Dinar is going to raise in value. It’s simply a matter of “when” and “how much”. ============= When the Dinar increases in value there will be profits, and with profits come liabilities. I’ve personally put more hours than I can count into the tasks of finding the best ways to prepare for this event, securing the best possible options for returns on the initial increase in value (RV), and also preparing for the protection of those gains. If you’re in the VIP group when the RV is announced, you will benefit from the best exchange rate and get access to Post-RV options that will enable you to continue maximizing your benefits. We also have a thing here called “OSI”, which is basically VIP on steroids (without the side effects :lol:) It’s taken a lot of legwork to get VIP and OSI in place, entailing a lot of frequent flyer miles, because some things simply can’t be done with Google alone. Some things require a handshake and meeting people in person to accomplish. I’ve done that, and if you’re in VIP, you are supporting the work and you will share the benefits. Join here: https://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/store/category/1-vip-membership-packages/ ============= Back to the Panama thing, and how it relates to Iraq, China, and why we’re here in the first place. Part of my “job” here is to dig into the facts regarding the Dinar, but the majority of my work is about maximizing the returns after the RV party and the exchange back to USD. I’m interested in preserving the profits, and that takes work. The nuts and bolts of the best wealth management strategies aren’t free, but we have them in VIP/OSI. Throughout this journey I’ve met with people I won’t name, my passport has been stamped in some pretty incredible locations, and although many of those locations were key to my personal contacts in the Dinar world - some of those trips resulted in other kinds of information, which is why I related Panama to Iraq. Panama doesn’t have OIL. What Panama DOES have is that passageway. A key to commerce. A large influence on world trade, even though Panama doesn’t produce a major good that can’t be made elsewhere. What Panama does do is exist despite the fact that they do not export oil or really anything else we can feel, touch, or hold in our hands. This puts them in a neat position in the world, and in spite of their recent political and financial drama - Panama is still a significant business center of the world. Iraq also has a neat position in the world, and I think we all know what that is. And now I hope you can understand how they could easily use China to help them focus on their true assets, and make some major moves forward. This could all be happening in the next week or so. It’s going to happen quickly when it does, and only you can be sure YOU are prepared. The FLASH SALE ends today. Use discount coupon “flash” to get in VIP, and reap the benefits, at a cheaper price than normal. In a nutshell.... GO RV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy your day, friends! - Adam P.S. Most of you understand how VIP here works. When the Dinar revalues, the VIP group here is going to benefit from a higher exchange rate. It may not be a huge number higher, but it will definitely cover the cost of VIP. More importantly, being in VIP is going to give you opportunities to increase the gain. Why stop at a simple exchange?! Leverage your good fortune, and turn a nice profit into something that can benefit your heirs for generations to come… or just blow it all on a few luxury items and be a statistic. The choice is yours, of course. Heck… even if you decide not to utilize the tools and easy programs we have in place, you can at least say you supported the site as a VIP member. Join us here: https://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/store/category/1-vip-membership-packages/ P.P.S. If for any reason you don't get more on your RV exchange than you spent on VIP fees, I will refund every penny. That's a solid iron clad guarantee that I give to you. In other words... you have nothing to lose. See you in VIP. P.P.P.S. Seriously - China building roads or other essential things in Iraq... it's just the tip of the iceberg. It's a tiny piece of the complex picture that makes it possible for Iraq to increase the value of their currency. I'm giddy about this and I really wanted to share a post that was 10X longer than this!!! Comment away, because I have a lot more to say about it. THIS IS GOOD STUFF!!!!!

  2. Without getting into politics - because China has the money to lend and spend, while the US does not. Yep. That's not our focus here though! We aren't going to fix our corruption, nor are we going to fix Iraq's... ... but we sure as heck can benefit from the situation! (Unlike Illinois or Mass. ) It's deeper than that even... there is a LOT going on right now that could hit HARD! GO RV!!!!!! I agree with you, but as long as they RV... I don't really care how they do it. This is just a phenomenal and timely bit of serendipity that we may be part of. I'll take it.

  7. The first Kurdish response to Baghdad's decision to form a fact-finding committee on Kurdistan's oil Politics , 2019/09/22 12:53 Baghdad - Iraq today: A member of the Kurdistan Parliament of the Kurdistan Democratic Party Rebwar Babkai, on the decision to form a federal fact-finding committee on the imports of oil in the Kurdistan region, in what he considered contrary to the Constitution. Babkai said that "oil is a sovereign issue and is one of the most important points of disagreement between Erbil and Baghdad, and can not form a committee to audit exports without the approval of the oil and gas law." He added that "the adoption of the law of oil and gas will regulate oil matters between the region and the federal government and the formation of this committee is incompatible with the Constitution, which specified the organization of oil matters to approve the law of oil and gas, which stands a number of political blocs towards its adoption." The Commission on Oil and Parliamentary Energy has decided earlier, the formation of a fact-finding committee on the confiscation of oil from the Kurdistan region. The Information Service of the House of Representatives said in a statement, " The Oil and Energy Committee held its meeting chaired by MP Hibat Al-Halbousi in the presence of members of the Committee to discuss a number of important issues related to the oil and gas sectors. The Committee on Oil and Parliamentary Energy formed a fact-finding committee on the region's oil, which includes seven deputies of the Committee to submit its report to the chairmanship of the Committee within two weeks of its formation. Concluded The meeting also discussed "the letter of the First Vice-President of the House of Representatives on the Oil and Gas Law, and the discussion of the Korean Embassy's letter to the Committee through the Foreign Ministry on the Gas Crutch Project." link

  8. Has Iran Won The War For The Middle East? By Yossef Bodansky - Sep 21, 2019, 6:00 PM CDT Join Our Community The most important historic milestone was not the heavy damage to the Saudi oil installations during the attacks on them on September 14, 2019. Rather, it was a quiet Ashura ceremony held in the ImamKhomenei Hussainia in Tehran on September 11, 2019. Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamene‘i led the mourning ceremony for the Martyrs of the Tragedy of Karbala on the Day of Ashura1. To Khamene‘i’s left, sitting on cushions on the ground, were, in order of proximity to Khamene‘i, Hojjat al-Islam SayyedMuqtada al-Sadr, the Shi’ite-Iraqi leader known as “nationalist” and far from being Tehran’s protégé, and then, Qods Force Commander Maj.-Gen. Qassem Soleimani, and the Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Maj.-Gen. Hossein Salami. Significantly, it was Soleimani who invited Sadr and organized his visit, as well as convinced Khamene‘i to give him the honor. At the meeting, Khamene‘i had animated discussions with the three and showed them far more attention than he showed to all other dignitaries in attendance. Significantly, Iranian Pres. Hasan Rouhani did not attend the ceremony. The pro-Khamene‘i Kayhan newspaper emphasized the significance of Sadr’s presence and called the event “the return of the prodigal!” The true meaning of Sadr’s presence is in reflecting the new relationship between Tehran and Karbala (which is more important than Baghdad). “The message was loud and clear. ... It means both the neighbors share identical views on the peace, security, stability, and independence of the entire region, which should be cleared of all vestiges of terrorism, including the illegal presence of CENTCOM terrorists.” Special attention should be paid to Sadr’s own rôle, Kayhan explained. “Sadr, whom the Western and Arab media had portrayed as a prodigal, ready to sacrifice Iraq’s independence by drifting away from his roots for a few favors from the Persian Gulf sheikhdoms and his former enemy, the US, has made all calculations go awry by visiting Iran at the right time and choosing the Ashura occasion to announce his unity with the Resistance Front.” As a result of the Tehran visit and audience with Khamene‘i, “the Resistance Forces consider Sayyed Muqtada Sadr among the pillars of the regional movement against American imperialism, Zionism and Arab reactionaries, side by side with HizbAllah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and AnsarAllah Leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi. No wonder, Trump, Netanyahu and the Saudis are already beginning to see their dreams of dominating the region turning into nightmares.” The coverage of the Ashura meeting in Iranian media focused on the emphasis Khamene‘i gave to “the Axis of Resistance”, particularly the surge to the Mediterranean, the consolidation of the on-land access to the Mediterranean, and the tight control of the shipping choke points in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandeb. Khamene‘i stressed the great importance and centrality of the Axis of Resistance in the regional strategy of Iran and its proxies. “The Axis of Resistance is on the rise while the enemy is falling,” Khamene‘i stated, according to several Iranian newspapers. Although the ceremony of September 11, 2019, was the formal turning point, the key tenets were first introduced on the September 9, 2019, by the HizbAllah’s Nasrallah. He sent a special message to Khamene‘i on account of the Ashuracommemoration in which Nasrallah emphasized the gravity of the current situation and “the unique historic leadership” of Khamene‘i. “Today, we are in the middle of a big battle and our camp is being besieged by the US and Israel and their tools. The leader of this camp is Imam Ali Khamene‘i and the center of this camp is the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Nasrallah wrote. “This is our camp, and this is our Imam, our Leader, and [the] Hussein of this era. In this battle there is no place for neutrality. You are either with Hussein or you are with Yazid. The battle is renewed and so is the confrontation [with implacable foes].” Nasrallah vowed that HizbAllah and all other Shi’ite allies were ready to sacrifice themselves for the Shi’ite cause as led by Khamene‘i. “By Allah, o master and leader, if we are to be killed, all of us … we shall never leave you o son of Hussein,” Nasrallah wrote. Nasrallah reiterated the Iranian doctrine of a single Iran-centric confrontation in the region. “Any war on Iran will ignite the region and destroy countries and people,” he stressed. “It will be a war against the entire Axis of Resistance. We will not be neutral in the battle between right and wrong. This war will be the end of Israel and the American hegemony and presence in the region.” On September 12, 2019, Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, told commanders that Iran had always been ready for a “fully fledged” war with the US and its allies. Related: ‘’Catastrophic Flooding’’ Threatens Heart Of Texas Oil Industry Hajizadeh described the Iranian preparations (as translated by MEMRI): “In addition to the US bases in various regions like Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, the Emirates, and Qatar, we have targeted all naval vessels up to a distance of 2,000 kilometers, and we are constantly monitoring them. They think that they are out of our firing range if they go out to a distance of 400 kilometers. Wherever they are, it only takes one spark for us to hit their vessels, their airbases, and their troops.” There was a new strategic posture dictating that “America has to pick up and leave this region. The Iran of today is not the Iran of 30 years ago. Iran is powerful. There was a time when an aircraft could fly to the center of the country ... but today is very different. Today, we are powerful, and our response will be very powerful and crushing.” Hajizadeh emphasized that Iran’s allies were all integral components of a single system. “If [these allies] are being attacked in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen by enemies that are being supported by America and European countries, it is our duty to support them to the best of our ability and to stand with the resistance. We will definitely help Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen.” US sanctions would, he said, fail to change Iran’s resolve. “Yes, blockades and limitations exist, but we will support them and stand with the Resistance Front at all costs. We will defend the oppressed, and they have now become a coalition. It’s not like in the past, when they were alone. We used to be alone, and some of these smaller groups used to be alone, but today we are all a coalition standing next to each other. The US can no longer do something here and see no consequences in Lebanon. We are definitely interrelated, and we are standing next to each other. The era of hit-and-run is over. We will not allow [the US and allies] to oppress us. We have stood and we continue to stand united against America.” On September 14, 2019, a video of Soleimani was posted to an IRGC Twitter account. In the video (located and translated by MEMRI), Soleimani highlighted the unprecedented spread and rise of the Iran-led Resistance Front — the regional Shi’ite alliance. “We are the nation of martyrdom. We are the nation of Imam Hussein. Ask! We have already overcome difficult events. Since the beginning of the Revolution, our victories in all fronts were guaranteed by adherence to Imam Hussein’s culture, and we have won many victories as a result of this path. This Front is founded on the reliance on Imam Hussein, the Prophet’s family, and the Imams and their companions. Today, you can witness it being reborn every day. Yesterday, [the Resistance Front] had a branch only in Iran. Today, it has branches in many [locations] as a result of this reliance. Today, AnsarAllah in Yemen are following the path of Imam Hussein and his household. Today, the [Iraqi] PMU is also getting inspiration and the power of resistance from this valuable position.” The September 14, 2019, pre-dawn strike on two major oil facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais in eastern Saudi Arabia had a huge effect on the regional and global oil system. The strike eliminated a major element of Saudi oil production and delivery, cutting the output by 5.7-million barrels per day, or more than 50 percent of Saudi exports, for many months to come. Far more important, the strike created new long-term market dependency on Iranian and Shi’ite-Iraqi oil, the only two sources of oil in the greater Middle East which were not threatened by the Houthis and their allies. Furthermore, the strike demonstrated to all the vulnerability of the US allies in the Persian Gulf to Iranian and Iran-proxy strikes. According to Iranian and Houthi sources, the raiding force was comprised of 12 drones/cruise missiles, all from the Qaseffamily, which were launched from the Sanaa area in Yemen, and at least 20 drones which were launched “from nearby”, most likely Iran-held island(s) and/or barges, and provided intelligence coverage, last minute reconnaissance, jamming, decoys and diversion (including strikes on secondary objectives). According to the Iranian and Houthi sources, 10 of the Qasef 3 drone/cruise missiles hit their targets. A few Saeghestealth drones launched Sadid-345 glide bombs against additional six to eight targets. Satellite damage assessment confirmed this statement. On September 19, 2019, Houthi Brig.-Gen. Yahya Saree provided a detailed description of the strike. Three types of strike drones/cruise missiles were used for the attack: the Qasef 3 combat drones, the long-endurance Sammad-3 drones (both with operational range of 1,500-1,700 kms) and “newly-developed drones equipped with jet engines”. This missile is actually a derivative of Iran’s Quds-1 cruise missile. Saree explained that “the attacks were launched from three locations. Qasef 3 drones were launched from one site, Sammad 3 drones from a second and new jet-powered drones from a third.” The Sammad-3 drones “carried four precise [precision] bombs per strike”. As well, numerous “other drones” were also “used to confuse the enemy so the main combat drones could hide in their shadow without being detected, and signal jamming devices effectively disabled the enemy’s air missile defense systems.” Consequently, the strike drones “could reach their targets” undetected and unmolested by the Saudi air defense. “The destruction of the targeted facilities is far greater than what has been announced,” Saree concluded. According to Saudi sources, citing US intelligence, most or all of the drones took off from Iranian bases in Khuzestan, and overflew southern Iraq and Kuwait. However, satellite pictures show that most of the key targets were hit on their west side, the most logical direction had the cruise missiles come from Yemen. The Saudis claimed, on the basis of recovered debris, that at least “18 delta-winged UAVs and seven cruise missiles” as well as “multiple smaller drones” were launched by the Iranians. The Saudis claimed that they had identified a total of at least 17 points of impact in Abqaiq and Khurais. Most of the drones and missiles which impacted were “precision-guided munitions” which had highly accurate “GPS guidance”. The debris suggested that the main strike drones/cruise missiles were of either the Iranian Ababil-T or the Houthi Qasef 3 (itself derived from the Ababil-T) which have a range of about 2,000 km. Other drones involved in the strike were the armed version of the delta-shaped Iranian Saeghe or Houthi Sammad-3 stealth drones which carry miniature, precision-guided Sadid-345 glide bombs (including incendiary munitions) and have a range of more than 1,000 km. There were unconfirmed reports that the Iranians also launched from Khuzestan a few jet-propelled Soumar cruise missiles which inflicted the main damage. There was no forensic evidence pointing to the use of the Soumars and the main reason for the assertion was the conviction of US intelligence that the Ababil-T/Qasef 3warheads “could not have” caused such heavy damage. The US assertion that the drones/cruise missiles must have been launched from Iran was based mainly on the claim that the Houthis were not known by US intelligence to have advanced versions of the Ababil-T or the comparable Qasef 3 derivative. Simply put, there is no concrete evidence that the main strike drones/cruise missiles were launched from Iran. It is plausible the strike drones/cruise missiles were indeed launched from Yemen as claimed by Iran and the Houthis. Throughout, the Saudi Arabian air defense system — using the best US and Western systems money could buy — proved to be blind, paralyzed, and utterly inadequate. This, even though the Saudi air defense was up-graded and boosted after the May 14, 2019, drone strikes on East-West pipeline near the central town of al-Duwadimi. Like the strike of May 14, 2019, the September 14, 2019, strike also caught Riyadh and Washington by complete surprise. Although Iranian media attributed these and earlier strikes on Saudi Arabia to the Houthi AnsarAllah forces, official Tehran has never denied the complete control Iran exercises over the AnsarAllah and other proxy forces. One of the most explicit statements to this effect was made on August 6, 2018, in the aftermath of a Houthi attack on two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea. In a conversation with Fars News (as located and translated by MEMRI), IRGC Brig.-Gen. Naser Shabani put the strike in the context of Iran’s overall relations with proxy forces. “We told the Yemenis to attack the two Saudi tankers, and they attacked. HizbAllah in Lebanon and AnsarAllah in Yemen are our homeland depth. The enemy is so vulnerable that we can entangle it from across the border.” Under Soleimani, Iran’s system of proxies has markedly improved and Iran’s direct control tightened. Given the immense strategic significance of the strike on Saudi Arabia, the operation was under Soleimani’s direct command. In turn Soleimani had received personal approval for the strike from Khamene‘i By September 19, 2019, Tehran was convinced that the US was capitulating and withdrawing from the greater Middle East, starting with the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Syria. What was left for Tehran to do in the near-term was to “help” convince Washington that it was best to expedite the withdrawal. Tehran was convinced that the best approach was to convince the US of the futility in attempting to confront and contain Iran, and by dangling in front of the Trump White House the lure of concluding a deal with Iran so that the US withdrawal would seem to be part of a great success. On September 15, 2019, official Tehran began reacting to the reverberations of the strike on Abqaiq and Khurais, and particularly the initial US suggestions of a possible retaliation against Iran. Tehran did so indirectly by reiterating Iran’s resolve to retaliate had the US struck Iran after the downing of the US Northrop-Grumman RQ-4A Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle in June 2019. Several Iranian generals claimed that during the US forewarning of the then post-drone retaliation, Tehran had threatened to hit three major US bases in the region. Consequently, the Iranian generals believed, Washington canceled the retaliatory strike for fear of cycles of escalation than the US would ultimately lose. Most explicit and detailed was a lecture delivered by the Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, Brig.-Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh. Iran was ready for a regional war. “Had the Americans shown a reaction, even if in the form of an attack on an empty and derelict land of ours, then we would have responded to them and if they had continued with a second reaction, then a war would have started.” Hajizadeh stated that, as ordered by Tehran, the entire Iranian forces were on alert to deliver the major retaliatory strikes against the cornerstones of the US presence in the Middle East. Related: Saudi Aramco: We Never Asked Iraq For Extra Oil “Specifically, al-Udeid base (the US base in Qatar), al-Dhafra airbase (the US base in the UAE) and a US warship in the Sea of Oman had been picked as targets to be attacked in case of a US reaction.” Hajizadeh stressed that the Iranian forces were also ready to further expand and escalate the confrontation into a major war. “In addition to US bases in the region, we have all their vessels, including aircraft carriers and warships, under fire of our missiles to a radius of 2,000 kilometers, and [we] are constantly monitoring them.” Meanwhile, Iranian generals also reminded that in early July 2019, Iran formally adopted the strategy of deep attack and increased the pertinent arsenal of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. On July 9, 2019, IRGC Chief Commander Maj.-Gen. Hossein Salami addressed a meeting of commanders and officials of the IRGC Ground Force. He reiterated that Iran “is today strong enough to defeat the enemies in any war on the ground against the Islamic Republic.” The Commander of the IRGC’s Ground Force, Brig.-Gen. Mohammad Pakpour, elaborated on the “new strategies for assault on the enemy” called the “deep-attack doctrine”. The new doctrine focuses on drone and missile strikes, Pakpour explained. “The IRGC Ground Force’s drone and missile power has grown considerably compared to the past, and this will boost our power in battles.” This new build-up and assertiveness had transformed profoundly the regional posture of both Iran and its enemies. “The Islamic Republic of Iran has turned into a credible regional power and it is intolerable for the US. Targeting an enemy drone that happened recently changed the conditions in favor of the Islamic Republic,” Pakpour concluded. On July 14, 2019, the Commander of the Iranian Army, Maj.-Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi, further elaborated on the new doctrine in a lecture to officers. “We have never been the initiator of any war and will never be; however, we are not relying solely on defense; in the early stage of the enemy’s attack, we will defend, but our offensive power and our ability to strike the enemy is devastating and will make enemies regret [starting a war].” Hence, claimed Iranian generals and senior politicians, the US would not dare start a war with Iran. On September 15, 2019, Mojtaba Zonnour, the powerful Chairman of the Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, disclosed what he claimed to be what Iranian Intelligence knew about the White House deliberations in the aftermath of the shooting down of the US drone. He claimed that “US President Donald Trump revised his decision to respond to Iran’s downing of an American spy drone in June after he was handed an assessment of Tehran’s power to react.” “The Americans reached this assessment after destruction of their drone that in case of military reaction to the move [the shooting down of the drone], they will sustain 15,000 [casualties] and then a war of attrition would break out and Trump was, hence, forced to avoid any military action against Iran after the assessment of Iran behavior,” Zonnour elaborated. This analysis and assessment are relevant to the current crisis. Addressing a meeting with senior commanders on September 15, 2019, Maj.-Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, also related to the precedent set by the US reaction to the downing of the US drone. “The day when the drone was downed, the US president was on the brink of a decision [to attack Iran] and the biggest lie was that they did not do it to prevent the death of 100 people, while the decision was the result of intelligence assessment of the US Army and after they briefed the US President about the outcomes of their attack and about Iran’s missile response, in islands, in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and the regional states where Iran’s arms are deployed. ... They sat with him [Trump] in two two- to three-hour sessions and explained to him that he cannot attack Iran.” Bagheri stated that Trump’s advisors should know that, should they use force after the strike on Saudi Arabia, the Iranian reaction would be even more fierce. Tehran also took formal diplomatic steps in order to dissuade the US from striking Iran. On September 16, 2019, Iran issued “a sober warning” to the US through the Swiss embassy. Tehran denied any involvement in the attack on Saudi Arabia. Any US “retaliation” against Iran “will be met with an immediate response”. The message further warned that “if any attack is launched against Iran, the Islamic Republic’s reaction will be rapid and crushing and will likely target more extensive areas than the source of the act of aggression”. Starting September 18, 2019, Iranian senior officials became even more explicit in warning the US against retaliation. Ali Shamkhani, the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, dismissed all allegations of Iranian involvement in the attacks on the Saudi oil installations, and warned of “a crushing and powerful response” to any retaliatory aggression. Shamkhani noted that “Iran monitors, with full preparedness, any intention and move for the purpose of aggression against the country or the interests of the Islamic Republic and will give a decisive and all-out response to possible mischiefs in the harshest way which can surprise the aggressors”. On September 19, 2019, Maj.-Gen. Salami raised the ante. “We do not fear our enemies — large and small — and have overcome such worries and the enemy is well aware of this. Today, we have become so powerful that they are forced to connect any incident with us through making false claims.” Deputy Coordinator of the Iranian Armed Forces, Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari, reiterated that the US and its allies do not dare face Iran because they are aware of its power. “The enemy is still present but doesn’t dare face a powerful country; our Armed Forces enjoy full readiness. The enemy knows that the Iranian nation backs the Armed Forces and that [the] people and [the] Leader are united.” Because the US could not confront Iran directly, it resorted to covert actions and conspiracies. “Today, they are busy designing different conspiracies with different approaches, but they have always failed.” Sayyari stressed Iran’s enduring posture. “Today, the Islamic Iran is a regional power. We are a great missile power and despite all pressures and sanctions, we could manufacture aircraft.” Practically, however, Iran’s focus remains on the strategic-regional priority: consolidating the on-land access to the Mediterranean via Iraq and Syria that is the primary goal of the Resistance Front. Toward this end, Soleimani and a group of aides arrived in Baghdad on September 16, 2019. He first met with Iran’s closest ally, former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. They discussed enhancing the Iranian dominance over Shi’ite Iraq in case of a major crisis. Soleimani then met with the key senior commanders of the Hashd al-Shaabi and their main elements: Hadi al-Amiri, Falah al-Fayyad, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. They went over the preparedness of the Iraqi forces to implement their allotted tasks in Soleimani’s war plans, namely, to attack and destroy the US forces in Iraq and Syria (mainly the al-Tanf area). If possible, the Hashd al-Shaabi would also launch missiles and raids against Israel and in support of the Shi’ite onslaught throughout the Shi’ite-populated Eastern Arabia. The Iraqi commanders assured Soleimani that the Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units) were capable of carrying out all their missions despite the repeated Israeli bombings on their key installations in both western Iraq and eastern Syria. Indeed, despite the on-going Israeli bombings, the on-land access to the Mediterranean was rapidly consolidated and new installations were being built. Tehran, Baghdad, and Damascus had already committed to building, in the near future, railroad tracks and pipelines from Iran to the shores of the Mediterranean. The best Israel could do under these circumstances was slow down the pace and raise the price of the surge. The US had all but ended any attempt to prevent surge of Iran. Hence, Tehran pays more attention to striking Israel in case of a major regional conflagration. On September 7, 2019, Maj.-Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi clarified the centrality of confronting Israel in case of a war with the US. “Everyone will witness the demise of the Zionist regime. That day is not far away,” Mousavi noted. “The Resistance Front will overthrow America and the imperialist regime.” Mousavi reiterated Iran’s intent to escalate and expand any conflict regardless of their foes’ intent. “The enemies are well aware that any tension and insecurity in the region will place them in the most insecure situation.” Hence, Iranian senior officials and commanders kept warning Israel of Iran’s capabilities and resolve even when world attention was on Saudi Arabia. Significantly, Iranian and Arab senior officials (including pro-US) interpret the proposed US-Israeli defense agreement as a reflection of US weakness. Rather than join Israel in attacking Iran as long advocated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump was now promising Israel protective umbrella in case of an Iranian attack. For Tehran, this analysis reinforced the conviction that the US was not interested in attacking Iran. Hence, Tehran keeps focusing on furthering the offensive surge of the Qods Force and their Axis of Resistance proxies rather than dealing with a possible US retaliation. The Arab world sees and seethes, giving up on the US and its guarantees. Arab leaders were, by September 2019, desperate to strike deals with Iran which would ameliorate the threats to their survival. As well, the Arab leaders sought strategic umbrellas from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Russia, all the more so since Iran had recently concluded long-term strategic agreements with the PRC. Iran had become emboldened and returned to threatening a major regional war with Israel and the US should they try to block the ascent of Iran and the Axis of Resistance. Considering that Iranian population would only embrace a Persian chauvinist government as a substitute to the mullahs’governance (which is increasingly in trouble over the socio-economic problems but far from being endangered by them), the specter of “regime change” serving the interests of the West no longer existed. And so, for all the Arab, and, for that matter Trump’s, bluster, the die was cast. Iran was winning the quest for regional power. https://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/Middle-East/Has-Iran-Won-The-War-For-The-Middle-East.html

  9. 9-21-2019 Newshound Guru Whitelions the news coming out is Fantastic we all should be very excited... 9-21-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...I have said over and over again that the next step is to issue the smaller of the small category notes and coins (250,500 and 1000 already issued) and then to change the program rate by deleting the zeros. For instance, a program rate of .00083 will become .83 or 83 cents. It will still remain pegged at the de-facto peg solely to the US dollar at this point, as it is today. ...Is this changing the rate? Yes... The goal of the CBI is to monitor the inflation rate after they make this next move. This could be 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months. My take is it will be about a week... (post 1 of 2)... 9-21-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...I am reassuring everyone now that the step following this one is to reinstate the IQD and NOT to move the program rate to the exchanges such as FOREX but rather to re-peg the IQD to an SDR basket. This and only this, is what is going to force the rate to change from the program rate they have today...If all goes according to their target dates this could occur any day now. We are already in mid-September. But remember this is not the reinstatement and we can not yet go to the bank to exchange. This is solely going to happen inside Iraq...They are also not going to post anything in the Gazette when the reinstatement happens. It will appear in the news channels as this is the place for this kind of news. The Official Iraqi Gazatte is NOT a news source...(post 2 of 2)... 9-21-2019 Newshound Guru Jeff ...if you look at what Iraq has started going through September and then what they have slated for October...just based on facts using common sense...reaching the end of September is kind of an ending period and starting at the beginning of October is more of a new beginning period because look at 10-1, they have that new NASDAQ software coming online. They have a brand new CBI governor coming on board...10-1 is more of a new starting period versus September... 9-21-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni If they launch the market economy as they have been aggressively trying to move towards and have presented it to be included in the budget of 2020, then I see no reason for a LOP...at that point I would see the CBI...moving to a float to allow the currency to appreciate to offset inflationary pressure created by that influx of capital...Remember the number one job of the CBI is to maintain monetary policy and reduce inflation...The IMF is specifically referencing the Balassa -Samuelson effect as the outcome for the dinar. That is a fact...(Post 1 of 2)... 9-21-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Quote: ..."staff encouraged the authorities to consider creating the conditions which would make possible a move to a more flexible exchange rate policy. Such flexibility could allow a predictable and gradual appreciation of the nominal exchange rate, triggered by strong oil revenues and the Balassa-Samuelson effect," ...The IMF is asking the CBI to create the conditions to float the currency to allow it to appreciate based on the Balassa -Samuelson effect...(Post 2 of 2)... Good Night Everyone....Be blessed..! RON

  12. 9-22-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...The CBI publishes a quarterly report showing how much dinar, and the IMF publishes a yearly report. And several news articles over the years have come out and told as well how much dinar is in circulation. All three of those add up to a pretty factual statement that 42 + trillion exists. And again nobody has proven once that that amount is wrong. Even if the 42 + trillion was wrong and it was say 10 trillion it's still too much money for Iraq to ever significantly RV. No country can support 1 trillion in currency let alone 42. ...they'll never significantly RV - it's not possible... they could Lop or do what the IMF proposed which is float and in my opinion is the most likely due to the fact that they are working behind the scenes to create a market economy to create the conditions for a float. Something to think about...! Have a great Sunday Everyone...RON

As I recall it was Adam who held that position for many years...RON 9-22-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "MOHAMMED SALEH: THE DEFICITS IN THE BUDGET HYPOTHETICAL, AND THAT THE FINANCIAL SITUATION OF IRAQ IS REASSURING AND DOES NOT THREATEN FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY" Quote: "the reserve of the central bank along with the reserve of the government amounted to 87 billion dollars, and this is very positive gives a great resilience to the state in the most difficult circumstances." So the TRUTH will set you FREE. No real deficit and plenty of money to re-mint the needed coins. But we know from 2012 there are already plenty of coins to launch to begin the process anyhow. How was DR shabibi going to do this in September of 2012 anyhow if there was no coins already minted? ...Remember there is opposition to changing the currency and some are happy with the current level of corruption. Why? Because they are in on the take.

In other words it was stopped by a high government official in the Obama Administration. Not Trump, or anyone in His administration. Creepy Joe said if you want this 1 billion in aid you must fire the Lead Prosecutor of yours that is heading the investigation into Hunter Biden for graft and corruption. Which the gov did do. Plus they halted the investigation. Hunter who was grossly under qualified was getting $180,000 a month from the gov run business via what his consulting business. For nothing. Tell me this, whats wrong to reopen the investigation now since its anticipated to prove that J.B. blackmailed the gov of Ukraine while he was VP in what obviously is a pay to play scheme. This for a person who will be running for the highest elected office in the land. Graft is graft, which is corruption, which is illegal, which needs to be investigated and prosecuted.

  35. Another hate Trump article from the Huffington Post, aka Liberal Rag. BA, thanks for posting this but it’s just not the end all story in Wisconsin that The Huffington Post wants you to believe. Dig a little deeper and you will see many in Wisconsin are 100% behind President Trump and his Tarriffs against China. They understand that to do nothing is Economically unsustainable and real Economic Suicide. I have about A dozen or so family members scattered throughout the upper Midwest States of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan. While many in the past supported democrats and the Liberal position in the past they experienced first hand the erosion of jobs moving to China over the past 30 years and most voted for Trump in 2016. I’ve called them and asked them what they think now after the trade wars. Of the 8 that I talked to 6 are in favor of the tariffs and support the President, 2 are totally disgusted with the Trade Wars. The point is you can send a liberal hack anywhere in America to find unhappy people with Trumps policies. Just because a Biased Huffington Post Liberal covers a concert doesn’t necessarily paint the entire story of what’s going on in the minds of the people of the Midwest. One signature on a piece of paper and the Trade War is over and it will probably benefit all those at that concert. We will see how the majority of the people of Wisconsin think next November. 8 out of the 10 family members I talked to still support President Trump and said they will probably vote for him again. Selling Socialism will not be an easy argument to defend for the Democrats.

  47. ECONOMY ECONOMICS Balassa-Samuelson Effect REVIEWED BY WILL KENTON Updated Apr 25, 2018 The Balassa-Samuelson Effect is a phrase that describes the result when countries with high productivity growth also experience high wage growth, which leads to higher real exchange rates. The Balassa-Samuelson Effect suggests that an increase in wages in the tradable goods sector of an emerging economy will also lead to higher wages in the non-tradable (service) sector of the economy. The accompanying increase in inflation makes inflation rates higher in faster-growing economies than it is in slow growing economies. The Balassa-Samuelson Effect was proposed by economists Bela Balassa and Paul Samuelson in 1963. Breaking Down Balassa-Samuelson Effect The Balassa-Samuelson Effect suggests that the optimal inflation rate for developing economies is higher than it is for developed countries. Developing economies grow by becoming more productive and using land, labor, and capital more efficiently. This results in wage growth in both the tradable good and non-tradable good components of an economy. People consume more goods and services as their wages increase, which in turn pushes up prices. How the Balassa-Samuelson Effect Holds up Developing Countries As emerging economies develop and become more productive, they also see increased wages, but they see these increases in both tradable and non-tradable goods sectors of the economy. When wages increase at a slower rate than productivity, countries wind up producing more than they can consume. These countries then have a current-account surplus. When wages grow faster than the productivity rate, workers consumer more goods, and the current-account surplus falls. There can be imbalances regarding wages and prices for tradable and non-tradable goods that run counter to the Balassa-Samuelson Effect. For example, tradable goods that can readily be sold in other nations might not see much price difference in other markets. However, non-tradable services and goods could see pricing and wages that reflect their local economies. The salaries of workers who perform the same jobs in different nations can still see drastically different wages despite high productivity growth. The personal services provided by a driver, a barber or a doctor are not tradable goods, for example, and may see deeply discounted rates in developing countries. This can occur regardless of productivity levels and stem from the economic imbalance with more developed countries.
