9-7-2018   Newshound Guru Kathy    I know the Kurds are kind of a stumbling block but in the end I cannot see them joining Maliki’s group! They had enough interaction to know Maliki signing any kind of document is totally worthless!  Maliki never keeps his word and Ameri is simply an Iranian puppet along with Maliki!  What would be the result if the Kurds decided not to join either block?  I cannot imagine that would be to their advantage!  I think things are going to get real interesting in the near future! 

 

9-7-2018   Newshound Guru Adam Montana    [Can the Monetary Reform happen before the SBA 2016 agreement with the IMF?...Will the CBI be able to act alone and start the Reform without the IMF's Approval?]  In a perfect scenario, the IMF gives the green light, CBI implements the "approved" changes, RV.   Let's be real, though... if the CBI wants to go ahead with it, then they will, and what is the IMF going to do - tell them "no, you can't pay X for your Dinar"?? I don't think so...And if the IMF DID do something like that, can you imagine how many institutions around the world would completely REVOLT against the IMF?!  It would be absolute chaos!   (part 1 of 2)  

9-7-2018   Newshound Guru Adam Montana   ...With that said, I completely reject the idea that the IMF "must" do anything at all to enable, allow, or even encourage Iraq/CBI/GOI/etc to do anything with their currency.  They will do what they want, when they want it. Chapter 7 was a big deal. That prohibited them, via the United Nations and more, from making any major changes. Chapter 7 was the ONLY sanction that completely restricted them from RVing, in my opinion. There are other items that needed to be handled in order to make it easier, but even now - without HCL in place - they could still do it today.   It's my opinion that it is not likely to happen before the HCL is in place, but they COULD.   (2 of 2)   

 

 

9-7-2018   Intel Guru Bruce   ...it looks like everything is coming together at the last moment, and it is getting down to the wire.  We have Iraq still doing their thing. Messing around with their government. Talking about running more stuff through parliament again. ...They are talking about releasing the...Oil and Gas Law...Talking about releasing that in the Gazette on Saturday...What does that mean for our timing?  That could trigger what it is we are all waiting for...I have heard people talk about a 5 day window. The window could be literally hours away to a couple of days or maybe it drags out through the weekend. I really believe that. ...I think we are at a really good shape.   

9-7-2018   Intel Guru Footforward   I still believe and expect the RV to happen. What's been going on hasn't changed my mind. This will come to be...   

 

9-7-2018   Newshound Guru MilitiaMan  Quote:  "The Iraqi National Card is an electronic biometric card issued by the Ministry of Interior from January 1, 2016. It replaced the Nationality Certificate and Civil Identification Document previously issued. In 2018 it will also replace the Residency Card). This card has a high security platform and is connected directly to the Iraqi Civil System"    Now I am not sure how many realize just how big this is? It is telling us they are on the 09/05/2018 ready to "LAUNCH" the E-Regulations a form of many forms that are about E-Governance. That includes E-Banking...It will include Citizens, Employees, Businesses, Countries, Constituencies, Democracy, payments, receivables, etc., etc. (1 of 2)  

9-7-2018   Newshound Guru MilitiaMan   ...WS [Guru Walkingstick]  posted that the COM was paid electronically, and back pay to 01/01/2018. The same was said to have happened for the HCL for the citizens ...we await them to tell us it is fully active. ...The question is, will they leak out the payments of back pay for the Citizens for the HCL? Imo Oh heck yes.. When they do, it will go public by the CBI, GOC or just plain old leakage.  Now keep in mind that Sadr has spoken out about the GOI not fulfilling their responsibilities.In fact imo he is saying have them done before Sunday. Start your meetings ASAP, and by the way they are going to be live on camera.  Therefore, all the citizens that know your sandbagging and they are not getting paid their do, will be able to watch who is sandbagging them...imo....(2 of2). 

 

 

9-7-2018  Newshound Guru chattels  Much of the recent news highlights the question of whether the rule of law or the rule of men, and which men will it be, is or will be in control in Iraq. These are dangerous times in Iraq. Iraq seems continually to jump from the frying pan into the fire and back again, IMO.  It appears that my sense of optimism about the avoidance of quotas and the announcement of a government sooner rather than later in this election cycle was misplaced. The Machiavellian Maliki is very resourceful politically and we should never underestimate him or the capacity of Iraq for self destruction...
