    Iraq: Khaled Al-Obeidi, a label for a bag of Defense became a done deal

    BAGHDAD – A source in the Iraqi List led by Iyad Allawi said on Monday that the issue of nomination of Khalid al-Obeidi of the Ministry of Defence has become a settled matter.

    The source, who preferred anonymity said: “This matter has become a foregone conclusion after the generated Everyone believes that al-Obeidi acceptable to all political blocs.”

    He pointed out that “the Iraqi List, you want to resolve the issue positions and one basket, such as the security ministries and the National Council for the strategic policy to be allocated to Iyad Allawi, head of the list.”

    The only link I could find that would allow me access to verify this posting, was Currency Newshound, which is not considered (on this site) to be a verifiable news source, and therefore is considered to be rumor, not fact.

    Please post legitimate link holding integrity of news if possible. Thanks.

  2. Personally, I follow Scooter's postings, Breitling's blog talks and asdf's blog talks. They each work from verifiable articles, news and or passed/passing laws. None of them give a date or rate. They simply present info. and encourage you/one to continue on the path of research for yourself.

    From what I've been gathering, this Frank-Dodd law plays some kind of underlying connection to linking the dinar's currency value to gold. Perhaps this is why all the fuss about the FD Law. I really think if there's one article pointing us in one direction, they'll be several more pointing away from that initial pivot point. IMHO we're being manipulated away from the truth. I think what Breitling means, is that they have to get laws passed (not connected to RV) before they can get to laws pertaining to RV. But also, they are reinstituting laws from prior to the war (re Dinar). I think there really is a lot going on with regard to the RV that we simply aren't privy to. We just need to trust and not over analyze every little thing that comes our way. I trust this will happen. I've opened a Warka account, and have done my best to diversify in relationship to this investment, so I can be prepared for a few likely/potential outcomes.

    All the best to everyone.

    Just an update...here's a link to Breitling's blog spot explaining the significance (in part) of these laws that have been passed in Iraq of late.

  4. Success!!!

    Got my account #'s!!!

    Now do I just take the e-mail that they sent me to my bank, along with a pocket full of cash to do the wire transfer or is there some sort of form that goes along with it.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Here are all the Warka email addy's I have: c.services@warka-bank-iq.com , e-bank@warka-bank-iq.com, ifrd@warka-bank-iq.com (Mr. Issa).

    I had to send daily emails requesting that they divide and allocate monies from my USD accnt to my IQD account (maintaining a 150.00 USD balance). I sent these emails to all three addresses above. I also translated them into Arabic (Google translate). I've requested my e-bank account be set up to no avail. So, I'll be emailing them daily on this one as well.

    The Swift code is the code for Warka's account HELD at Citibank of NY. This is the account that the money needs to go to. Warka should have emailed you a form to include with your wire transfer. Your bank should provide you with a form if Warka didn't. The important thing to remember is to reference both of your IQD and USD accounts held w/Warka on the wire transfer form. As long as you reference your account numbers, Warka will allocate the money only to the USD account at first. Then you have to hound them to divide and allocate. The fed wire number they provide to you is the number you use to wire the money, then the swift code CITIUS33 redirects the money to Warka's account. So, both numbers need to be used to get the money to the right place. At least, this is how it worked for me.

    Good luck!

    I agree, this is not easy to read. Your browser should allow you to increase the percentage size of the file and/or zoom in. Hope this helps.

    As Breitling has stated,

    "Below are the laws and documents which have been passed since June 1, 2011. Take a look and see if you can spot the patterns of laws that are being expedited through their Parliament. ONCE YOU SEE THE PATTERN, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVEN'T REVALUED THEIR CURRENCY!!!! "

    I'd post the link to Breitling's site, but not sure it's allowed.

  6. Thanks for going to the trouble of posting this, sincerely, I mean that.

    However, when I heard the posted portion of Frank's CC from last week, towards the end of the call, it felt contrived (there was contrary info/and frank leading the interviewee on a bit). I knew last week when Frank spoke of his posting for this week to check in with his source in TX, that there would still be no movement on the dinar (the week is not up yet, so we'll see, but the call turned out as I expected). This may well be a blessing from a higher power, but it seems awfully convenient for Frank and his team to fall back on "God" whenever things don't turn out as he/they stated they would, yes stated, as he did last week; that we would see the banks working from East to West and that by Thursday at the latest we would see the rate. Tick tock, tick tock....and still we await on another/forthcoming posting from Frank (and his team) to confirm, deny, state, re-state or retract and blame it on something else "out of his control". Yet, posting that CC recording from last week wasn't out of his control was it? I know this will happen, but this man and his group, well, what i'd like to say about their dinar selling tactics is rude, so I won't go any further.

  7. No, they aren't. So any talk of a RV is nonsense.

    First of all, we know we don't know everything that goes on behind closed doors. Second, after analyzation of the GOI's guidelines, it's recently been disclosed that all that needs to be done to get out of CH 7 is for security ministers to be seated, and that this can be completed/accomplished by a simple hand shake between Allawi and Maliki, as stated in the GOI by-laws.

  8. "Keeping it real" means posting verified news articles. Even if the articles are seemingly negative, they're articles, not attitudes. If we here on DV allow negative thinkers to continue their rants, it only lends to a negative attitude or result with regard to creating wealth for ourselves. This is why I think the nay-sayers should go. Negative emotions attract more negative emotions and therefore negative outcomes. Dwell on the positive, and create it!

  9. Yea I figured the negatives would fly. People can click the - button quick when someone points out something that violates the pie in the sky. Yet not one single negative pusher can give me a legitimate reason why this theory may be wrong. Not one person. Go ahead, click away.

    Perhaps if you based your postings on news/governmental/official articles (whether real or smoke screens, because some are actually verified information), your words may be taken with more credence. An emotional response is not going to help anyone, especially yourself. Heard of quantum physics? If not, "What the bleep do we know?" is a great film to check out.

    An effective Iraqi cabinet is not as impossible as it seems

    Reidar Visser

    Jun 30, 2011

    The impact of the Arab Spring in Iraq has been comparatively negligible, with one significant exception: the idea of making the Iraqi government smaller is finally gaining some traction. When Adel Abd Al Mahdi resigned as vice president in May, he did so with reference to a growing chorus of dissent from street demonstrators as well as Shiite clergy who demand a smaller and more effective government.

    Last week, Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki also began talking openly about the need for a much smaller government, and a few days ago the Iraqiyya party, too, said demonstrators had made legitimate demands about a government free from honorary positions whose sole purpose was to satisfy ethno-sectarian quotas.

    As so often in Iraqi politics, new ideas are being bandied about entirely without reference to the Iraqi constitution or laws in force. In fact, it is not possible to shrink the government just like that. Unless the government intends to resign as a whole, the only possibility would be for parliament to individually question each of the ministers they wanted to get rid of and then dismiss them in separate votes of no confidence. This would certainly require greater effectiveness on the part of the Iraqi legislature than its members have exhibited thus far.

    That said, the idea about a smaller government is a good one and worth pursuing a little further. First, let us for a second forget about politics and just try to envision how, in an ideal world, the current government could be restructured and downsized to about 20 ministries.

    The first aim would be to get rid of the many bogus ministries and ministers of state that were invented during the formation of the second Al Maliki government in December 2010. The obvious place to start would be the ministry that is actually a contradiction in terms - the "ministry for civil society". Next, all the 10 or so ministers of state could go as well, with the possible exception of the one for women's affairs which remain an urgent priority area in Iraq.

    For purposes of greater efficiency, education, science and technology, and culture could be easily merged into a single ministry of education and science, whereas an infrastructure ministry could take care of what are the separate ministries of transportation, housing, public works, communications, tourism and provincial affairs. A separate ministry for sports also seems unnecessary: if anything, Iraqi sport needs less Iraqi government interference, and the building of arenas and other activities could be undertaken by the infrastructure ministry.

    Finally, the current ministries of planning and labour come across as redundant. A good government plans collectively, and with separate ministries for oil, commerce and industry it is hard to see what a labour ministry can achieve on its own.

    So much for theory: Iraqi politics has become increasingly polarised lately and unrealistic agendas tend to dominate. On the one hand, the secular but mostly Sunni-backed Iraqiyya keeps pushing for a strategic policy council with executive powers that the current Iraqi parliament is unlikely to ever grant them. Recently, the parliamentary speaker, Usama Al Nujayfi, even made an unprecedented threat about "Sunni separatism" if Iraqiyya's demands are not met.

    On the other hand, Mr Al Maliki, of the Shiite Islamist State of Law alliance, is signalling impatience with Iraqiyya. As an alternative to the continued bickering, Mr Al Maliki is proposing a "political majority" government: a not-so-veiled threat to ditch Iraqiyya from the governing coalition and instead build a more narrow government with support from the Kurds, splinter elements of Iraqiyya, minorities and maybe some of the smaller Shiite Islamist factions. The Iraqi press keeps discussing this scenario despite the fact that it seems quite unrealistic as well, not least since Mr Al Maliki would have to resign himself if the whole government were to be changed.

    Enter the idea of shrinking the government. Is this perhaps Mr Al Maliki's more realistic plan for reaching the same goal of marginalising or splitting Iraqiyya? The problem for Mr Al Maliki in this respect is that the ministries held by Iraqiyya are pretty important and indispensable (especially finance, education and agriculture) whereas those held by his own coalition tend to belong to the bogus category. In fact, State of Law ministers like Safa Al Din Al Safi and Ali Al Dabbagh would probably be among the first to get axed in any straight-faced parliamentary move to shrink the government.

    But if Mr Al Maliki thinks creatively, he could persevere with the idea of shrinking the government by doing something truly bold: getting rid of the Sadrists and the smaller Shiite Islamist factions that once delivered him the premiership by creating the Shiite super-alliance called the National Alliance. Mr Al Maliki actually no longer needs that fractious alliance, and it could be argued that trying to keep it together might create more problems for him in the future.

    Not least - and despite the latest official pronouncements on the issue - individual members of his own State of Law alliance keep signalling an interest in keeping some kind of extended US presence beyond 2011, which would mean conflict with the Sadrists and other members of the National Alliance who share the Iranian view that it would be best to get rid of the US forces entirely and as soon as possible.

    By chance, a restructuring of the Iraqi government from 40 plus to some 20 ministries could actually dovetail with a sacking of the ministers from the Sadrists, the smaller Shiite Islamist parties as well as the tiny Sunni parties. That would leave a slimmer coalition made up of State of Law, the Kurds and Iraqiyya (who in turn should give up the idea of a strategic policy council in return for enhanced relative weight inside the government).

    Such a coalition - similar to the preferred US scenario around May 2010 but completely unrealistic then because of the premiership issue - would be in a far better position to remain united, govern Iraq effectively and reach an informed decision on the question of a US presence after 2011.

  11. No it doesn't. Just like Turkey and Zimbabwe have done all you need is a lopping off the zeroes to ease cash transactions and use LESS cash. It even says so right on the Forex site and I've posted that link.

    Instead of 2,000 dinars to buy a loaf of bread you just lop off 3 zeroes and now it's 2 dinars. No revalue needed!

    Anyone with an "Excellent Reputation" want to respond, please?

  12. Radio Free Europe (RFE) has a good article about Iraqs' Chapter 7 demise. Look under economy. I would post but my work computer does not allow(sorry)

    Hmm, can't find the article on RFE website. Can you provide me with more info: Date of article? There is no specific tab labeled "economy", Title of article? Because it doesn't come up under "Chapter 7 demise"? Thanks.

    http://www.rferl.org/search/search.aspx?st=article&k=iraq%20chapter%207&ob=dt#article This all I could find when typing in "Iraq", "Chapter" and "Seven" or "7".

  13. Just a question;

    Please indulge me, I'm playing devil's advocate here on this one;So, if according to Shabibi, during his now infamous video, wherein he states that Iraq's inflation rate is relatively low, combined with the fact that Iraq can make money off its oil by selling via Turkey, and... they could reissue the lower denoms so people aren't carrying around so much cash.....with all of this considered, why does Iraq have to revalue sooner than later?

    Also, I'm still confused on this (as I've heard differing opinions): Do the security ministers have to be re-seated to see an RV/RD/RI?

    Thanks again, all. I value your thoughts.
