High ranking officials from Ministry of Finance and Planning met with members of parliamentary Finance Committee to discuss 2015 budget and ways to cover deficit due to falling oil prices. They have lost almost half of their revenue since they peaked in summer. The meeting took place late Sunday evening and discussed ways to generate revenue from non oil related sources. The falling oil prices may reach a level where the cost of oil production may exceed the crude oil price in some Canadian and US shale oil productions. This is a dilemma OPEC countries did not agree to lower their production and exportation. PM of Economic Advisers Mathar Saleh said Iraq is facing temporary crisis because of sliding oilprice. He said the government is finding ways to cut expenses. He added PM Abadi is the first high ranking official to take 50% paycut in salary, which was followed by his entire cabinet and parliament members voluntarily.

Uneek feels good finally Federal appeals court on Wednesday vacated the insider trading convictions of two former hedge fund managers stemming form trades in Dell and Nvidia. Tood Newman and Anthony Chiasson were convicted in 2012 of trading on insider information. The US 2nd circuit court of appeals ruled in part that there was a lack of clear evidence that the two knew the person giving the tip received any benefit from the trades. This is a major blow to Manhattan US Attorney Bharara. From Dinar Land : Captl1 accompanied US Defense Secy Chuck Hagel to meet with PM Abadi who said Iraq needs more airstrikes and ammunition to fight ISIL. Hagel was greeted by American and Australian troops where he made a short speech saying that Iraqi security forces and Kurdish peshmerga are now fighting bravely assisted by US led coalition air cover led by Sandfly. Both Abadi and Hagel agreed that ISIL has not been beaten but weakened and on the defensive in most areas. Abadi also stated that the push to liberate Mosul, Iraq’s 2nd largest city is coming soon and that security forces are eager to gain control of the whole country. Iraqi security forces and Kurdish peshmerga assisted by US led coalition airstrikes launched offensive attacks in several front killing and wounding scores of terrorists in Diyala province. PM Abadi has appointed Lt. General Riyad Tawfic as the new commander of Nineveh operations. Several members of parliament and high ranking officials expressed their confidence in Tawfic’s ability to lead the troops against ISIL. Calkid11 overheard US Lt. General James Terry said 1,500 more troops will be added to the 3,000 US troops now advising and training security forces. Terry added these troops will not engage in actual combat. He didn’t specify the nationalities of these additional troops. It is confirmed that Iran conducted airstrikes against ISIL positions near the Iranian-Iraqi borders. The strikes were made at the request of PM Abadi for all countries to join to fight the terrorists. US and Iran denied any cooperation in these airstrikes that are conducted over a 25 mile wide corridor near the borders. Iraqi Pres. Massoum told tribal leaders that the only way to defeat ISIL and their cohorts is to stand united regardless of sect of religion. He said Iraqis must be loyal to Iraq first and foremost. He added all sects, Kurds, Shiites, Sunnis must abide with national reconciliation document signed by all parties and that can be achieved by ongoing dialogue and compromise. A western observer said ISIL evolves from Al Qaeda and the ideology of the late Osama Bin Laden but the danger it presents and the cruelty it displays makes Al Qaeda looks like a moderate organization in comparison. Drj gives thumbs up to PM Abadi in his strongest campaign against corruption said he started cleaning government institutions and the big wigs in the armed forces. These big whales have caused so much damage to Iraq and endangering its security and stole public funds. Iraqi armed forces said it stopped paying approx 4,000 ghost soldiers who have military ID on record but they bribe their way not to report to their assigned duties and hold other civilian jobs. Abadi added that he is aware of campaigns aimed to his downfall but he will not back down even under the threat of being assassinated. Ministry of Oil said Iraq is losing 300K-400K bpd because of ISIL control in oil production areas in Kirkuk province. Under normal circumstances the oil would have been exported via Turkish Ceyhan port. The losses exceed $1B per month. ISIL steals the oil and sells in black market at an estimated one third of oil price. PM Abadi met with BP’s CEO Bob Dudley to discuss ongoing operations especially oil fields operated by BP in Rumaila and Kirkuk. Chess is counting the barrels going to be pumped out of Kirkud and Rumaila once security is not an issue. Nfire predicts the free fall of crude oil prices is forcing officials at all levels to look for ways to save money. Expenses have been slashed in order to keep deficit within a manageable margin. A prominent financial analyst said the free fall of crude oil price is a blessing in disguise as it forces government and parliament to work on cutting unnecessary expenses, battle corruption and bring to the front the necessity of working on diversifying the country’s revenues. In the long run, the oil slide will help in shaping Iraq’s priorities and to stop corruption especially in high levels of government and other institutions including the armed forces. Minister of Finance Hoshyar Zebari talked to reporters about security, future plans for Iraqi’s economy in the next phases and stability of Iraqi dinar. He stressed on the importance of adopting 2015 budget. He has had meetings with IMF in Amman. He added it is important for Iraq to deal with the rest of the world honestly, clearly and with transparency. Iraq is working hard to attract domestic and foreign investors. Saudi Arabia is shuffling several ministers in their cabinet. Observers and Saudi affair experts said the slump in crude oil prices and ISIL threat played a major factor in this sweeping changes. The kingdom is attempting to shed its image as a stringent non-progreesive country as demonstrated by not allowing women to drive, etc. ISISL issue is also shaping the way Saudi is thinking now. Genx4me thinks it’s about time Saudi moves to 21st century. From Rumor Land : Enorrste thinks a free float will bring the official rate and the street rate together overnight. Jester believes things are moving around but no timing is given. Wmawhite says they are going to live by 2015 budget sometimes in 2015, then things are going to have to change in our favor. BGG thinks it can happen anytime between now and the first of the yar is an opportune moment. Millionday thinks that the release of IMF is a turn of a page. Tim724 feels good for Q1 2015. DC thinks Abadi will make short announcement to not cause an international stir and that will change the rate in Iraq. The US may take a few days to open this up, or they may use this as a signal to quietly release this to the internet right away.

NASA hopes Orion will one day carry astronauts to Mars. Defense Secy Chuck Hagel says there’s been real progress in the Pentagon’s effort to combat sexual assault in the military. There were nearly 6,000 victims of reported assaults in 2014, compared with just over 5,500 last year. According to new defense dept date, despite rise in reported assault anonymous survey showed victims are more willing to come forward. Hagel says the military still has a long way to go in combating the problem, as more than 60% of female service members who filed sexual assault reports say they faced retaliation for coming forward. Rodandstaff takes a deep breath when he hears Pentagon confirms its attempt last month to free American hostage Luke Somers from Yemen failed because he was not present at the targeted location. 33 year old Somers is the only American among about a dozen hostages held by al qaeda’s Yemeni offshoot.

US said there is no coordination with Tehran to launch airstrikes and flight paths of the US led coalition so not to cross those Iranian warplanes. Military analyst said Iran is keeping an eye on a 25 mile wide stretch along its border with Iraq and the airstrikes are limited to those areas. They added the commanders in both camps are aware of the airstrikes and their timing in order not to cross path. Iraq welcomes any country willing to join the fight against terrorists. US said Iran should not further inflame sectarian tensions. The head of Nahrain Bank, Abdul Mohsen al-Munthiri said Iraq is fortunate enough to have several options when faced with challenging circumstances. He projected Iraq will work on creating industries and agricultural projects in near future. The private sector will play a major role in the next phases. He concluded that all Iraqis have the responsibility and duty to help increase revenues.

From Dinar Land : ReinMan reported US led coalition airstrikes have slowed ISIS advancement in Kobani. Kurdish defenders managed to retake a hill and other positions. Military analysts say the city has no real strategic value for the long war on terror but it has humanitarian importance for the Kurds and the coalition helping them. It boils donw to reputation for ISIL and continuous control of swathes of land in northern Syria bordering Turkey. 15M Kurds living in Turkey are not happy with Turkish response and that may destabilize Turkey’s fragile truce with PKK whose leader is jailed and vowed to continue the struggle if Kobani falls. US and its NATO allies are still waiting to see if they can use an airbase in southern Turkey in fight against terrorism. US led coalition airstrikes target ISIL positions, equipment and shelters near the large oil refinery in Beiji and Haditha. A member of security committee in Salaheddin province, Khaled al-jassem said US stationed 200 military advisers in Speicher base near Tikrit. The base was the scene of a massacre committed by ISIL against Iraqi security forces where over 1,500 Iraqis were slaughtered. The American advisers will advise Iraqi ground troops but will have no combat role. Britain said they will be sending armed drones to Iraq to participate in the fight. Okane heard PM Abadi in his address to military academy vows to reveal details about the massacre at Speicher base. He said ISIL terrorists and their Baathist backers committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in that incident. He added because of their big losses ISIL and their backers are spreading false news including how close they are to taking Baghdad airport. The Integrity Commission said Iraq is cooperating with Interpol to locate and seize monies stolen or illegally obtained in Iraq by individuals who have fled Iraq. A list of “wanted” people is being prepared. IC spokesman said Interpol and Iraqi authorities will go after the criminals very aggressively. American, British, and German companies have expressed their interest in helping Iraq with the rebuilding of its infrastructure, industrial, agricultural, real estate projects. Investment economist Adel Abu-Rugheif said it will take Iraq a very long time to achieve its goal with all the money coming from Iraq’s treasury. That’s why Iraqi government and lawmakers are urged to make it as attractive as possible for Iraqi, regional and international investors to invest in Iraq’s projects which include tax cuts, tariff exemptions and a healthy return on the invested money. This can only be achieved if all government agencies and banks works towards creating the right atmosphere to attract private investors. World Bank declared it will have Iraq in resolving its displaced population issue by providing finances for agricultural, electricity, housing and other projects. 40 year soft loan will be made available to Iraqi institutions to expedite housing and provide employment opportunities to as many displaced Iraqis as possible. The amount is not specified but experts estimated hundreds of millions of dollars if not more will be made available soon.

  18. Nadita File – 10/14/2014 Good evening everyone, thanks for watching Nadita File where the spin starts here J Fighting ISIS : Captl1 reported Pres. Obama and top military commanders meet Tuesday with defense chiefs from countries battling ISIS. Pres. Obama says there will be days of progress against ISIS, but also periods of setback. Obama, who stressed Tuesday that there are no quick fixes, vows our coalition is united behind this long term effort. ReinMan heard Feds warning US law enforcement about the threat ISIS inspired terror attacks against police officers, government workers, and media figures in the US. FBI and Dept of Homeland Security bulletin issued Saturday warning about ISIS on social media forums for violence. Bulletin says officials are not aware of any specific credible threat against US targets by home grown terrorists inside the US or overseas at this point. Warning follows a separate US army intel bulletin urging military personnel to be vigilant after ISIS called on supporters to scour social media for addresses of their family members. A-J516 wonders who this group calling themselves “White Shroud” has reportedly emerged in eastern Syria to fight ISIS in their own way. They work in small groups, two to four fighters to trap ISIL terrorists. So far the group claims to have killed 100 ISIS terrorists. Their mission is to strike fear into terrorists. It has already shown that ISIS terrorists are walking in a group of two or more. Leader of White Shourd says US led coalition airstrikes are not helping them as ISIS terrorists once gather in large numbers, and now they move in small groups. White Shroud has 300 members whose 80% never take part in combat before. They are trained and joined White Shourd because of the great oppression they feel after ISIS takes control. Ebola Outbreak : Uneek heard Dallas nurse who caught Ebola while treating a patient receives a blood transfusion from an Ebola survivor in hopes that it will help her fight off the disease. 26 year old Nina Pham was one of about 70 staff members at TX Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas who cared for Thomas Eric Duncan, who died last week. She is the first person to contract Ebola in the US. Nina has a dog and there is a debate whether animals are carrier of Ebola and if the dog should be euthanized. Our prayers are with Pham family and may God’s healing hands touch her and heal her miraculously. There are 2 more days to hit 21 days for Ebola incubation. 70% death rate when contracted, possible airborne transmission. It is estimated Ebola will reach 1.4M cases by January 2015. Quarantine or travel ban ? as time goes on, greater crisis is looming on the horizon. Calkid11 reported head of the UN mission for Ebola’s response says the world must meet critical goals by Dec. 1 or face an entirely unprecedented situation for which we don’t have a plan. Anthony Banbury says the current plan for fighting Ebola won’t be enough for the future crisis if the goals aren’t met. He says he is deeply, deeply worried that efforts so far will not be enough. Chess heard WHO says there could be up to 10,000 new cases of Ebola per week within two months. WHO officials says there have been about 1,000 new cases per week over the last four weeks.

Yahoo Finance poll asked what “E” worried people the most right now : 47% - Ebola outbreak, 22% - Europe slowdown, 6% - Energy prices dropping, 25% - Earnings. From Dinar Land : ISIL terrorists’ resilience and efficiency have surprised most seasoned military experts. ISIS is pushing its way to control Kobani using suicide bombers to blow up Kurdish defensive lines. ISIS also has over run a military base near Hit and as a result they control 80% of Anbar province. Coalition airstrikes have killed thousands of ISIL fighters but it seems they are capable of recruiting fresh fighters from the globe. The airstrikes help to slow them down but not stopping them. ISIL fighters have been spotted 10 miles away from Baghdad airport and US has deployed its Apache helicopters to repel the terrorists. It is reported Trukey is bombing Kurdish PKK fighters in a location close to the Iraqi borders. The Kurds are frustrated as Turkey is doing absolutely nothing to fight ISIL and not letting Kurdish fighters cross the borders to help their colleagues. Iraqi parliament is eagerly waiting to debate the nominations of two most important positions of Ministers of Interior and Defense. Even though the names are kept secret but the blocs and coalitions are not at odds. PM Abadi will reveal the names on Thursday session. PM Abadi also revealed a plan to evaluate every minister’s performance every 100 days in an effort to curb administrative corruptions.

Ministry of Electricity said power will be supplied around the clock in most provinces except the western provinces where terrorists continue to sabotage facilities and power lines. Anbar, Nineveh, and Salaheddin will receive intermittent power supplies while repair are being done. Ministry of Housing and Constuction said a plan is being discussed to connect Basra and Turkish Ceyhan ports overland. The project will help Iraq economy tremendously. The Ministry of Interior said as soon as the project is funded, they will start issuing passport embedded with electronic chip or strip similar to those issued in advanced countries. Iraq and Iran announced they are increasing their commerce activities and industrial cooperation. Iran has become a natural partner in many projects including land transport and communications.

Hundreds of civilians are still trapped inside the city and fears of slaughter by ISIL. Kurdish fighers are fighting fiercely but they are outgunned and undermanned. Turkey blames Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) for the unrest and a high rank Turkey official likened PKK to ISIL drawing more criticism and demonstrations. PKK is labeled as a terrorist organization by Turkey and also in the west including US. The Kurds have been asking for autonomy for the last 30 years. Turkish Pres. Erdogan is more interested in toppling Assad’s regime over saving Kurds in Kobani which drew criticism from US and other NATO countries. Retired Gen.

Finance committee will also discuss the relations between GOI and KRG and to resolve the outstanding sales of oil. Financial and monetary experts says Iraq’s oil production in the south is not affected by the security situation in the north. Iraq’s production and export projection are realistic and if they are off, it will be a very slight margin, which means Iraq will have enough resources to work on the five year plan. They also agree that ISIL will soon ebb and all Iraqis including Sunnis will find it’s in their best interest to stop cooperating with ISIL and work on being more included in governing Iraq. They also like the plan about privatizing Iraqi industries and businesses.

A security force remained anonymous said ISIL has recently acquired sophisticated anti aircraft missile systems including Strella missiles. These weapons were observed in Anbar and Salaheddin provinces. Two Iraqi helicopters were downed this week. These air defense systems are feared to be the reason which gives US more targets especially after it used its apache attack helicopters recently. Rayzur reported live from the border, Kobani is gradually being gobbled up by ISIL at least one third of the city, despite airstrikes by US led coalition.

Kobani is just a few miles away from Turkish borders and can be clearly seen from the Turkish side where tens of tanks have gathered and just sitting there doing nothing. The Kurds said they are being let down by the world and especially Turkey. Analysts say Turkey has its reasons : 1) Turkish government considers Kurds as their enemies, 2) Turkey wants to topple Assad regime. Even though they are fighting the same enemy – ISIL. Turkey is not willing to help his enemy’s enemy. Many countries including US are also getting frustrated of Turkey’s inaction and their desire to create a buffer and no fly zone in Syria’s border which will need Syrian government’s approval.

Pricing Thursday, October 9th From Dinar Land : A-J516 reported terrorist group al-Nusra called on jihadists around the world to strike against the alliance combating ISIL even though the two terrorist groups are not linked. This creates a dilemma for US and its allies because Bashar al-Assad government that the alliance wants to topple or change are fighting the same enemy. That fact is also angering countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia whose priority is to fight Assad’s regime over defeating the Islamists. Russia and Iran are committed to back up Assad regime, even China will surely block any action by UNSC to forcibly topple Assad’s regime. Another terrorist group which is the offshoot of al-Nusra is Khorasan which believed to be more dangerous than ISIL. There are radical voices in al-Nusra to join ISIL which will make it a larger terrorist organization for US and its allies to worry about, which also applies to Iraq and Syria. Some analysts say Turkey and Qatar are still helping in the funding and arming of some terrorist factions. US led coalition warplanes conducted waves of airstrikes in Syria and Iraq most notably a strike against positions of ISIL which is trying for weeks to overtake Kurdish town on the Turkish border. Even though, PKK has faught fiercely but they are being outnumbered and outgunned. PKK leaders requested more airstrikes to eventually stop ISIL advances. Turkish president Erdogan who is known being Islamist is more interested in toppling Syria’s Bashar al-Assad regime than crushing rebels such as al-Nusra that Turkey stands accused of facilitating the passage of arms and fighters to. Turkey who labels the Kurdish PKK as a terrorist organization is reluctant to battle the Sunnis extremists in trying to save Kurds in northern Syria. Turkey is more likely expected to suggest creating a safe area in northern Syria including no fly zone which will be unacceptable by Syria and its backers. Turkey is a member of NATO and has a large US air force base but it is restricting its use to humanitarian aid. The temporary parliament committee designated to revise 2014 budget said the revised budget is to be sent to parliament tomorrow. The committee will revise the amended version then parliament will likely to vote on adopting it within two weeks of Eid al-Adha holiday that starts on October 4th. Some MPs predict 2014 and 2015 budgets will be merged. The budget has been hashed and revised many times in one year and prior to ISIL in June. MP who remains anonymous said although Iraq is literally in war with ISIL and their supporters, the elected representatives have obligations to keep the country running and pay attention to the next phase of Iraq’s infrastructure. Members of parliament called on private sector and government ministries to form an emergency team to create jobs such in public works, construction and housing, planning and industry and agriculture for the increasing number of unemployed Iraqis. Some MPs blamed the house for not passing 2014 budget that slowed down economy and temporarily froze some projects. Ministry of Agriculture said it made preparations for 2014-2015 winter season as one of the most successful in recent history. More than 4 million acres have been readied for planting crops and vegetables, irrigation canals, green houses and soil preparation are in various stages of completion. Ministry of Electricity is leaning towards connecting Iraqi grid with its Kuwaiti counterpart as a first step towards connecting it to other gulf countries as means to provide uninterrupted power supply to entire country especially in times of emergency. Iraqis are encouraged by the news that more Sunni tribes in Anbar and Nineveh are joining the fight against ISIL.
