Ok how long will it take to get a quorum and for somebody to throw a spanner in the works. IF trump has any influence now would be a good time to use it. Bloody fools

It's terrible to see that the corrupt leaders and the GOI holding this all up for their political greed and will. They don't give 2 cents about their country and their people.

With just a sales tax, they don’t need to know your business or what you make! Plus everyone pays tax! No more free loaders! If you buy you pay! Case closed!

Interesting, the timing of all this. Trump's new UST is in Iraq right now. Sudani awaits to give a big speech. The launch of XRP. Trump's new duty taxes to replace the IRS. A lot is happening behind the scenes. This may be our week...just saying. Go RV.

That's exactly why they call it a fair consumption tax. Go MAGA.

also lets not forget the Simpsons episode where they predicted collapse of bitcoin and xrp going through the roof! and this was suppose to happen in Jan, we are now Feb, could this be our month?

Militia Man This weekend is going to be a very interesting time frame for us. It's really a critical time for us...they even use the word 'crucial'...They definitely have a critical time as far as I'm concerned... All indications are pointing to this week-end or early next week. Go RV.

isn't it interesting that I see a social media post saying japan are launching xrp next week all over google) which is Feb and that financial guy Robert K? is predicting financial collapse in feb 225 with bitcoin crashing to zero?? we also have iraq saying that they are launching new financial initiative with US, interesting timing would you say? what are your thoughts? I have also heard bitccoin will crash and everyone will head towards ripple??? driving ripple through the roof!

Trump has just ordered to attack ISIS in Somalia .......

Parliamentary design reveals a trend to pass the budget amendment Today 14:12 Information / Baghdad.. The Tasmeem parliamentary bloc confirmed, on Saturday, that there is a trend among the majority of political forces to pass the amendment of the federal budget paragraph related to the region’s oil, despite the objection of a number of representatives, especially the Front of Representatives of the Center and the South, which includes more than ten representatives. The head of the bloc, MP Amer Al-Fayez, said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, "The majority of political forces are in favor of passing the amendment to the budget paragraph 12, second paragraph C, sent by the government after it was confirmed that calculating the cost of extracting and transporting a barrel of oil at $16 is a temporary number and subject to change after it is actually calculated by the specialized international committee and is retroactive." He added, "The objections of a number of representatives to the passage of the paragraph on the region's oil by the representatives of the Central and Southern Front, which includes more than ten representatives and a number of other members of the Council, will not have a significant impact on the passage of the amendment paragraph." Al-Fayez expected that the amendment paragraph would be passed during tomorrow's session, Sunday. The member of the committee, MP Moeen Al-Kadhimi, stated to / Al-Maalouma / agency that the cost of calculating the extraction and transportation of a barrel of regional oil at $16 was not estimated by the House of Representatives committees, but was estimated by the negotiations taking place between the Federal Ministry of Oil, the Ministry of Wealth and Natural Resources in the region, and the Advisory Board in the Council of Ministers. This number was agreed upon and is considered a temporary number that ended on / 25m. https://almaalomah-me.translate.goog/news/89704/politics/تصميم-النيابية-تكشف-عن-توجه-لتمرير-تعديل-الموازنة?_x_tr_sl=ar&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc

Come RV. Praise Jesus. April.

Tomorrow.. The Iraqi Parliament votes on the Kurdistan Region’s oil article by amending two paragraphs EconomyIraqi ParliamentoilKurdistan RegionBalance 2025-02-01 08:43 Share font Shafaq News/ The Finance Committee of the Iraqi Council of Representatives announced on Saturday that the Council of Representatives will vote tomorrow, Sunday, on the government proposal to amend Article 12 of the General Budget Law. Committee member, Jamal Kocher, explained to Shafak News Agency, "The draft amendment to Article 12 of the budget law includes two paragraphs, the first of which relates to the costs of producing and transporting the Kurdistan Region's oil after determining the actual estimated costs through the advisory body." He added, "The second paragraph stipulates that if the federal and regional governments do not agree on the costs of production and transportation, the Ministry of Oil shall choose a party to determine those costs, and as a result the cost of extracting oil from the oil fields in the region shall be calculated." He stressed that "voting on amending the law will help the government send the 2025 budget tables to the House of Representatives for approval." The Finance Committee of the Iraqi Council of Representatives announced last Tuesday that the committee's meetings would resume to discuss the paragraph on amending Article 12 of the General Budget Law in the coming days. Committee member, Hussein Mounes, told Shafaq News Agency, "The budget law includes calculating the cost of extracting a barrel of oil from the region at $6, and the amendment sent by the government calculated the cost at $16 per barrel." Mounes explained that "the draft amendment to the budget law will make the government pay the costs of extracting 400 thousand barrels per day from the region's oil fields and wells," adding that "increasing the cost of extraction will cause an increase in the deficit in the general budget." Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Kojer, had expected, during an interview with Shafaq News Agency on January 7, that the financial budget tables would be sent in February, while he indicated the possibility of delaying its passage due to disagreements over Article 12. Article 12 of the draft budget law includes compensation for the Kurdistan Regional Government for the costs of production and transportation of oil extraction in the region. It is noteworthy that the representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party bloc, Jiay Timur, confirmed earlier to Shafaq News Agency, that "the Iraqi government previously calculated in the budget law the cost of extracting oil at $6, and this is a very small number," noting that "foreign companies that work on extracting oil at a cost of up to $26 per barrel." In June 2023, the Iraqi Parliament voted on the draft general budget law for the fiscal years (2023, 2024, 2025). https://www.shafaq.com/ar/اقتصـاد/غدا-البرلمان-العراقي-يصوت-على-مادة-نفط-قليم-كوردستان-بتعديل-فقرتين

I was taking the trash out to the cans and did not realize it was as slick as it was. I found myself looking up at a blue sky. No injuries just a wet butt.

Here's The Goose's two cents worth...Don't come back until the job is done... Bruce The Goose:via WiserNow: Don't Come Back Until The Job Is Done. ARTICLE: President Trump sent our Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent…to Iraq to make sure that they got everything done –The new rate – and everything was ready to go from Iraq’s point of view… he was told…Don’t come back until you believe it’s done. So he’s planning to fly back and be home to the states by noon Saturday…So I’m gonna say likelihood is good for us finally to come to an end of this ride. We get notified as early as Saturday or Sunday, and then get started to exchange maybe on Monday or Tuesday…That’s where we are right now…that’s what I’m hearing.

Looks like he wants to get something done this term... Well here's to the next 4yrs hopefully that's enough time for Iraq to gettRdone

What govt does?

MM & Crew has an exciting video out last night. He doesn't give a date but a couple things are pointing at tomorrow. Worth a watch

There are no coincidences. Something is afoot. I think it will happen before April.

also ripple to unlock a billion xrp next week, maybe just add liquidity due to Japan using it for all cross border transactions!!!!!! 🤔

Dinar.. Currency and Symbol - Abdul Karim Ahmed Al-Zaidi January 31, 2025 Dinar.. Currency and Symbol - Abdul Karim Ahmed Al-Zaidi When a country has its own local currency that it uses in internal transactions, it is inevitably affected by external trade transactions, which require, through financial relations, dealing in foreign currency, which is what we call hard currency that we need in import operations and other financial payments for the various transactions of the country outside its borders. For this reason, the importance of preserving the value of the local currency appears, and what is meant in our country is the Iraqi dinar with its equivalent value of hard currency in the external trade environment. The responsibility for this process and preserving the value of the local currency falls on the Ministry of Finance, as it is authorized in these transactions in coordination with the Ministry of Trade and other bodies within its jurisdiction. What concerns us here, considering that our country is still in dire need of supplying its people’s needs of materials, goods and local market requirements and its reliance on selling crude oil as an economic resource, is to maintain the value of the local currency and enhance its purchasing power against foreign currencies. To be fair in our presentation of the subject, the Ministry of Finance has done its best in attempts to support the local currency and reduce its impact on the exchange of its equivalent in hard currency. Perhaps the most prominent of these is offering the sale of hard currency in the financial markets at a price that competes with the inflation in the exchange rate of hard currency and monitoring the implementation of its instructions in the commercial dealings market in an attempt to stop the decline in the value of the local currency. However, the situation, as it seems, does not represent an ideal solution to this situation after all commercial dealings and markets have become parallel to the exchange value. This matter requires a scientific and practical way out that preserves the value of the local currency and restores its prestige among foreign currencies and strongly fights all efforts to weaken its immunity and weaken its ability to compete again with other circulating currencies. Perhaps Iraqis remember the market dealings with simple and metal money and small coins, which are not far away, and this is frankly what prompted me to review the history of the beginning of the birth of the Iraqi dinar in the year 1932, and after it was It was linked to the US dollar after 1959, so that each Iraqi dinar became equal to 2.8 US dollars. It maintained its value until 1973, when it became equal to 3.37 per US dollar after the United States devalued its currency in 1972. Unfortunately, the situation did not remain the same after Iraq devalued its currency, and the dinar remained in circulation equal to 3.2 per US dollar. It maintained its circulation until the Second Gulf War in 1991, despite the fact that the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar on the black market was 3 dinars per dollar in late 1989. I repeat that the supervisory authorities and the Central Bank of Iraq have a responsibility to work on finding a way out of this crisis and to overcome the weakness of the local currency with solutions that go beyond the short-sighted view that many financial and economic experts still resort to without any salvation, and to bring life back to the Iraqi dinar after a long period of slumber and weakness. https://www.azzaman.com/الدينار-العملة-والرمز-عبد-الكريم-احم/

The only people that have made money with the IQD is the ones peddling it!

I’m calling on April. By faith.

Tuffer every day to believe anyone having 3 names+ prefix that looks like a used 🐪 Camel salesman. Earlier on Id take anything they said with a grain of salt...ran outta salt 🧂 a long time ago. A bold statement would have been Git R Dun in January to show they were serious. Heading into February and it's still all just talk. These clowns are still stinking up the air quality flapping their yaps.

This is exactly the way it has always been planned!!

I remember years ago I heard a sermon on Psalm 1:3 that has stayed with me: That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. The teacher questioned how many people give up right before 'due season'. We will stay fixed until we see our manifestation. When that occurs, our youth will be renewed like the Eagle's. I don't allow myself thoughts of doubt.

New Sheriff in town. Iraq get your banking system in order or we will sanction them… DJT

SQUEEZE'EM LIKE A BUNCH OF GRAPES DONNY!!!!!!!

Very happy to hear no injuries 😄

Ya. Slick here too. Storm missed us pretty much here in idaho falls though.

Prime Minister: The government program was prepared to enhance citizen confidence politics +A -A Baghdad - INA Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed today, Saturday, that the government program was prepared to be applicable to enhance citizen confidence. The Prime Minister's media office stated in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the Prime Minister chaired a dialogue session with the StrategyX Center, in the presence of a group of researchers, diplomats and experts from several countries." At the beginning of the session, according to the statement, the Prime Minister welcomed "the attendees whose visit to the capital, Baghdad, coincides with the organization of many events and activities, including meetings of Arab Ministers of Youth and Sports, the opening of the Baghdad International Fair, and the announcement of Baghdad as the Arab Tourism Capital 2025, and the Arab Capital of Sports Culture, which are events that confirm the vitality of the city of Baghdad and the government's plans for openness and the extent of stability throughout the country," stressing that "most Arab and foreign delegations come with one impression, and leave with a completely different impression; due to the distorted images that some media outlets transmit about Iraq." The Prime Minister added, according to the statement, that "his government was formed in circumstances that witnessed some people's reluctance to participate in the elections and a decline in confidence in the political system," noting that "the government program was prepared to be applicable in order to enhance citizens' confidence in the government, and advanced rates have been achieved in its implementation and the achievement of its goals." The statement continued that "the dialogue seminar discussed several axes, most notably the sustainability of stability in Iraq, achieving sustainable development, addressing poverty and unemployment, and economic axes, in addition to Iraq's regional and international relations, and the achievements and goals achieved in these areas."

Didn't Ripple's lawsuit get dropped this past week?

I am spot on with this as well! This collects from those here illegally too that we have no information on. At least till they get deported back to their country. I believe this will bring more in than the tax code we have now. And it is fair for all.

would love to see XRP explode....

Revaluation slowly moving forward inside Iraq.

Same Sh**te and after 20 years of the same ol', same ol' with these guys ??............. They can't do better for their citizens ??...................... Same dialog, same argument + really, really X 1000 stupid talking points ................... How much $$$$$ is really enough for these corrupt Iraqi politicians ?? .................. How greedy $$$$$ can these Iraqi politicians be ?? Just askin' and sayin' ........................

That’s because nobody knows anything about what is going on over there. If this goes past the 1st quarter, we know it’s another dead year. They said the auctions were supposed to stop the 1st of January 2025! The auctions are still happening still fluctuating, so it’s business as usual. I would love to ask someone with our government if this a scam or a real investment opportunity. George Jr was the one who got this little deal going, but now 15 years later we all know what a fraud the little war criminal George is. I would like for Adam to weigh in on this deal. That is not going to happen. He may show again if there was an RV , time will tell just where this IQD deal is going to go! JMHO case closed

yeo...and if we go back to pre 2013 they were always talking about the "scientific way" which is to delete the zeros....

exactly

I wish this was done when I was a much younger man!!

Get er done!

big news! moving forward nicely....great timing... if they did they would be money laundering banks...cabal banks....

When trump abolished your IRS, congratulations to you all meanwhile here in the UK.. pinnochio Starmer and his goons are hiking taxes even higher.

Every year we are said to be closer to this thing...but I'm beginning to doubt there is even a can to be kicked.

I think he is really pointing out is the need to delete the zeros, which the CBI has often said. My personal opinion is they will do both delete zeros and also add value, just like ole Shabibi pointed out. But whatever they do, outside the country we will get the full value for each and every dinar. That's why we are all here right? I'm riding that horse to the end.
