Progress on Customs Automation in Iraq, 19 OCT

Progress on Customs Automation in Iraq

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani chaired a meeting to review customs automation and network integration progress.

Representatives from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) attended the meeting.

Detailed reports on the first phase of implementing the global system for customs automation and modernization, known as ASYCUDA (Automated System for Customs Data), were discussed during the meeting. The reports focused on the challenges faced during the implementation process and the solutions devised. The goal of the implementation is to unify customs procedures and issue electronic permits through comprehensive information technology. The reports also emphasized the importance of data exchange and the ultimate goal of establishing a single window for foreign trade.

The Prime Minister has instructed to complete the financial commitments for the first phase and provide the necessary infrastructure to ensure the success of the project. In addition, he has ordered the initiation of technical workshops to promote awareness of this significant project. The project aims to support the government’s efforts to develop economic infrastructure with transparency and integrity.

Customs automation is a vital component of the government’s economic reform program, as highlighted by Al-Sudani. It serves as a basis for financial and banking reforms and aligns with the government’s goal of promoting fair trade and fighting corruption.

"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT, 18 OCT

 Mnt Goat  

 The saga about the Iraqi dinar RV only gets better as the months roll on.

 More and more pieces are put in place for the inevitable revaluation and reinstatement of the dinar. It has become not a matter of “if” these events will occur but “when”.

  Article quote:   “We hope that the Central Bank will remain steadfast and independent, stand against pressure and rumors, and continue to implement international standards and prudent measures that will improve and stabilize Iraq’s economy and exchange rate .”
]
 Al-Najjar also pointed out...the presence of major corruption within a group of banks and banking companies, which led to smuggle dollars.  ...there are elements that do not want the currency reform to be completed since the goose with the golden eggs will end.  

I assure you it will end and end soon! This corruption will not continue...I know much more of what is going on behind the scenes that I am not telling you and can’t tell you.  I know this reinstatement process has to continue to the end and is going to move quickly...

Abdul Mahdi calls for the implementation of Parliament’s decision to withdraw US and NATO forces from Iraq, 18 OCT

 Abdul Mahdi calls for the implementation of Parliament’s decision to withdraw US and NATO forces from Iraq, 18 OCT

On Wednesday, former Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi urged the House of Representatives to activate their decision which calls for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq. This comes in light of the recent events in the Gaza Strip, Palestine.

Abdul Mahdi issued a statement today stating that two urgent demands must be met in response to the aggression against Palestine. Firstly, the House of Representatives’ decision of 1/5/2020, which entails the withdrawal of all American and NATO forces with all their names, must be immediately implemented.

Abdul Mahdi urged preparedness at all levels and fields for the upcoming battle.

The Iraqi Parliament agreed on a resolution on January 5, 2020, requiring Baghdad to take steps to withdraw foreign soldiers from the nation.

The decision was made two days after an airstrike near Baghdad airport by Washington resulted in the deaths of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces, and Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Quds Force.

As a result of pressure, for the first time, Erbil submits to Baghdad and hands over its oil shares, 18 OCT

  As a result of pressure, for the first time, Erbil submits to Baghdad and hands over its oil shares, 18 OCT

According to Moeen Al-Kadhimi, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, the regional government has acknowledged the delivery of the region’s approved oil share, as well as non-oil revenues related to the border crossings. This marks the first time that the government has acknowledged the delivery of the region’s oil share as stated in the 2023 budget.

According to a statement by Al-Kadhimi, the region is currently under social pressure due to the failure to pay the salaries of its employees for the months of July, August, and September. The amount received from the federal government as a first payment is not enough to cover all the salaries, as the monthly salary expense for the region’s employees is around 900 trillion, which amounts to approximately 10 to 11 trillion annually.

According to him, due to public pressure, the region has agreed to hand over its oil share of 400,000 barrels to the Federal M inistry of Oil, along with non-oil revenues related to the border crossings. This marks the first time that the region has complied with its obligations to the federal government.

The Kurdish delegation arrived in Baghdad on Tuesday and plans to request the government to fulfill its commitment of providing the remaining financial payments to pay the salaries of its employees. However, the government will only do so after the regional government acknowledges its obligations to implement the provisions of the 2023 budget for the Kurdistan region.

On Wednesday, the Minister of Finance of the Kurdistan Region will meet with the House of Representatives to discuss financial obligations between Baghdad and Erbil, including salaries.

A delegation from the regional government arrived in the capital city of Baghdad yesterday evening, Tuesday. Today, Wednesday, they will hold a meeting with the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives to discuss the budget and salaries. The meeting is expected to address important issues related to the financial wellbeing of the region. The delegation’s visit is a significant step towards resolving these issues. The meeting is scheduled to take place today.

"RV UPDATE" BY MILITIAMAN & BRUCE, 18 OCT

 Militia Man  

Their goal is to de-dollarize the country.  They've been working on this for a long time.  Their job is not to specifically say, 'We're going to change the rate on Thursday of next week.' 

 They're not going to do that.  They just will not.  I think everybody should understand that by now...

When they do direct banking to go international it's not going be at a rate like 1310, it's going to be something that's fair, real effective exchange rate, something similar to that...

This is good information.  It's phenomenal.  Central banks' involved, the appropriate ground has been set for the auction window to leave...

Article: "...Representative have agreed on the importance of passing this law [HCL] because it guarantees the fair distribution of wealth to all Iraqis ..." 

 That's everybody in parliament, that's everybody, so I think there isn't going to be anybody that would miss that vote... So why haven't they done it?  They have to value that.  That's what we're waiting for to see if they have a new valuation for that based off the new international exchange rate...

Bruce  

 [via WiserNow]  ...our hope is that we get notified - we set our appointments - and at least start Thursday. 

That's what I'm hoping that we'll see if that's what manifests... you know guys, we've been awfully close before, or at least we thought it was that case. And now we're at that same point of could it happen?  ...So we hope that this is it...

Iraq's Pursuit of a 1 to1 Exchange Rate with the USD: A Positive Sign fo...

Iraq Just BANNED The Dollar | Sets A New Tone For Global Dollar Dump, 18 0CT

 Iraq Just BANNED The Dollar | Sets A New Tone For Global Dollar Dump

Tech Revolution:  10-18-2023

Iraq has shared an important announcement. Starting on January 1, 2024, Iraq will no longer allow people to take out or make transactions using U.S. dollars.

They're doing this to stop bad people from using the U.S. dollar for illegal activities and to avoid getting in trouble with the United States over sanctions on Iran.

The idea is to prevent about half of the $10 billion that Iraq brings in from the New York Federal Reserve each year in cash from being used in bad ways.

Mazen Ahmed, who works at Iraq's central bank, explained this to. This move is also part of a bigger plan to use the U.S. dollar less in Iraq. People in Iraq have been using the U.S. dollar a lot because they've had many problems like wars and crises since 2003 when the United States invaded their country.

If you put your U.S. dollars in a bank before the end of 2023, you can still take them out in 2024. But if you deposit dollars in 2024, you'll only be able to take out the local currency at a rate set by the government.

The government has one rate for the Iraqi dinar, which is their currency, but on the street, people exchange money at a different rate. Starting in the year 2024, if you happen to possess U.S. dollars in Iraq, there will be some significant changes in how you can use them.

You will have two main options. First, you can use your U.S. dollars with a specially designed card that will allow you to make purchases and transactions inside Iraq at the official government exchange rate.

 The second option is to convert your U.S. dollars into the local Iraqi dinar at the rate set by the government.

 In simpler terms, if you have U.S. dollars and want to spend money in Iraq, you'll need to convert them into the local currency at the government's exchange rate, and then use the dinar for your transactions.

 However, here's an important clarification: These new rules apply primarily to accounts that receive money from other countries. In other words, if you're receiving funds from abroad, these regulations will affect you.

 If you're only dealing with money generated within Iraq, you may not be subject to these specific restrictions.

 This shift is aimed at controlling the use of foreign currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar, in international transactions within Iraq, ultimately promoting the use of the Iraqi dinar and formalizing the country's financial system.

Iraq has already put a system in place to keep an eye on the money coming in and going out of the country, especially wire transfers, which are like electronic money transfers. This was a big problem before because some people were doing fake transactions and sending money to Iran and Syria, which were under U.S. sanctions.

Iraq has established a new system, with assistance from the United States. This system plays a crucial role in managing Iraq's substantial income from selling oil, a valuable resource for the country.

Over time, this system has become increasingly effective in its operation. One of its key functions is to ensure that U.S. dollars are available at the official exchange rate for individuals and businesses engaged in legitimate international trade.

This means that when Iraqis or businesses want to buy essential items like food and consumer goods from other countries, they can access U.S. dollars at a fair and standard rate.

Imagine you're buying groceries at a store, and you want to use your local currency to purchase imported products. Thanks to this system, Iraqis can easily obtain U.S. dollars, which are widely accepted in international trade, to pay for these goods.

This simplifies the process and ensures that transactions are carried out smoothly, without any unexpected currency complications.

So, this system not only helps Iraq manage its oil revenue but also supports the everyday needs of its people by providing access to U.S. dollars for essential imports, all while maintaining a fair and consistent exchange rate.

But, according to Mr. Ahmed, people were still finding ways to misuse cash withdrawals, especially travelers who were allowed to take out up to $3,000. Iraq wants to make sure it doesn't upset the United States because it relies on U.S. help to manage its money and oil.

At the same time, Iraq's government, which is supported by powerful groups close to Iran, doesn't want to make Iran mad or upset the groups that are deeply involved in Iraq's informal economy.

Economy news Iraq iqd #iraq BY NADER FROM MID EAST

Iraq’s Ambition: From Dates Industry to Gaza Conflict, 18 OCT

Iraq’s Ambition: From Dates Industry to Gaza Conflict

In the heat of the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, another narrative quietly unfolded in the Middle East’s labyrinth of connections and loyalties. This narrative, away from the Gaza Strip’s smoke and rubble, involves Iraq, one of the world’s leading date producers. While this might seem unrelated to the conflict, the interplay of regional politics and global trade offers a nuanced understanding of the Middle East’s dynamics.

Shaping the Date Industry

Iraq has taken a significant step to solidify its position in the global market: it has voted to join the International Dates Council. This move may appear inconspicuous amidst the region’s political turmoil, but it is a manifestation of Iraq’s ambition to capitalize on its agricultural resources. As one of the world’s leading date producers, Iraq’s involvement in this global body will help it manage and promote its dates industry, potentially influencing global prices and trade policies.

The Proxy Web in Gaza Conflict

While Iraq is making strides in the date industry, its factions loyal to Iran have reportedly been involved in supporting Hamas during the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip. These factions have allegedly established a ‘resistance operations room,’ signaling Iran’s influence reaching beyond its borders. The leaders of these factions visited Syria and Lebanon to coordinate with regional groups, indicating a complex network of alliances and proxies.

Photographs of these leaders, including the head of Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada, Abu Alaa al-Walae, in Lebanon, circulated among activists, confirming their presence. This intricate web of connections echoes the region’s complexity, where power dynamics are often manifested through proxies rather than direct involvement.

A Media War or a Ground Offensive?

Despite the intensity of their support for Hamas, these Iraqi factions have ruled out the possibility of a traditional confrontation with Israel in response to a ground attack. This stance suggests that their involvement is primarily centered on providing support and gathering intelligence rather than direct combat.

However, the implications of this ‘media war’ are profound. It underscores Iran’s expansive influence in the region and its ability to coordinate various proxy groups. It also adds another layer of complexity to the conflict, with multiple actors involved on different levels. The potential for escalation cannot be ignored if these factions decide to take direct action against Israel.

Future Implications

The interplay of Iraq’s agricultural ambitions and its factions’ involvement in the Gaza conflict paints a comprehensive picture of the region’s complexities. It highlights the country’s wider aspirations to strengthen its global influence while illuminating the intricate network of alliances on the ground.

As the geopolitical chessboard continues to evolve, the role of Iraq and its proxies will undoubtedly shape the region’s future. Their involvement in the Gaza conflict, coupled with their ambition in the dates industry, signifies a nation attempting to balance its regional loyalties with its global ambitions.

Finance and Politics Intertwine: A Deep Dive into the KRG-Iraqi Finance Committee Meeting, 18 OCT

 Finance and Politics Intertwine: A Deep Dive into the KRG-Iraqi Finance Committee Meeting

Amidst the labyrinth of political tensions and economic hardships, a slender thread of dialogue has been extended between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraqi Finance Committee. In a four-hour discourse held in the heart of Baghdad, Awat Sheikh Janab, leading the KRG delegation, and his counterparts from the Finance Committee, sought to untangle the knot of financial burdens plaguing the salaried employees in the Kurdistan Region.

A Struggle for Sustenance

The KRG, grappling with financial difficulties, has found itself in the throes of escalating disagreements with the central Iraqi government over the distribution of the region’s budget share. The result is a singularly human crisis: the inability of the KRG to pay its employees, triggering a wave of unrest and protests within the Kurdistan Region.

A Step towards Resolution

The recent diplomatic rendezvous is hailed as a promising step towards resolving the salary issue and thawing the frosty relations between the KRG and the central government. Both parties, recognizing the need to prioritize the welfare of Kurdistan’s salaried employees, have agreed to separate this matter from the broader political disputes. A beacon of hope, perhaps, in the murky sea of uncertainty.

Seeking Support in a Tumultuous Economy

The KRG’s financial struggles are largely attributed to the plummeting oil prices and the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The region, heavily reliant on oil revenues, has been severely impacted, pushing it to seek financial support from the central government. In an attempt to diversify its economy, the KRG has been encouraging investment in industries such as agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing. However, these efforts are continuously undermined by the financial constraints faced by the region.

Meanwhile, the geopolitical landscape of the region continues to shift. From Libya, where protests erupted over a deadly strike on a Gaza hospital, to Israel, where the government halted military operations during US President Joe Biden’s visit. In Iraq, the development of a ‘Dry Canal’ road project is underway, aiming to connect the north and south, boost investments, and significantly alter international transport routes. Amidst these changes, the Iraqi government is courting foreign investment, inviting Spanish companies to contribute to the development road project and invest in sectors like transport and renewable energy.

But hurdles remain. Economic experts point out the lack of an industrial base and agriculture in Iraq, potentially impeding its entry into the BRICS group. Furthermore, the Central Bank of Iraq’s decision to raise the interest rate for bank depositors, part of its banking reform measures, reflects the country’s ongoing efforts to revitalize its banking system.

While these developments unfold, Huawei, the Chinese multinational technology company, showcased its latest artificial intelligence and digital transformation solutions at the GITEX Global 2023 exhibition in Dubai. A testament to the relentless march of technological evolution, even amidst political and economic turmoil.

In summary, the dialogue between the KRG and the Iraqi Finance Committee is not merely a meeting; it is a manifestation of the shared human will to overcome adversity. It is a testament to the power of dialogue in resolving crises and the potential for cooperation amidst conflict. As the region witnesses a confluence of protests, diplomatic visits, infrastructure projects, and technological advancements, the plight of the salaried employees of Kurdistan remains a stark reminder of the human element embedded in the grand narrative of politics and economics.

The Central Bank Denies “Information” Issuing A New Category Of Local Currency, 18 OCT

 The Central Bank Denies “Information” Issuing A New Category Of Local Currency

   October 16 14:18  Information / Baghdad..  The Central Bank of Iraq denied, today, Monday, that the bank has any intention to issue a new currency or a small or large denomination during the current period.

A member of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ahmed Barihi, said in a statement to “Al-Ma’louma” that “talk about issuing a new currency by the Central Bank of Iraq is not true at the present time.”  Berihi added, “If a new denomination of currency is issued, whether small or large, it will not affect the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, but rather it will only serve and facilitate transactions in the simple market.”

A member of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq pointed out that

"the Iraqi currency is stable and the existing denominations are sufficient."

A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Representative Nermin Maarouf, announced in press statements that

the committee will discuss with the Governor of the Central Bank the feasibility and motives behind taking the decision to issue the 20,000 dinars denomination, the

financial value of this denomination and  other details related to its expected issuance. Ended / 25 AD

Welcome, everybody the big call tonight. It is Tuesday, October 17th and you're listening to the big call. Thanks, everybody wherever you're located around the globe. We had we were in 201 countries on last Thursday's call - Let's see how many we have had 28.5 - 28 point 6 million listeners confirmed tag back to us that listen to the call and that's a record. That's the most the largest reach we've had so far, Internationally. So thanks so much to the satellite team for putting that together. And hopefully we have a similar reach on our call tonight. Alright, let's see. Where are we tonight? You know, I'll start with this. We don't have a speaker of the house yet But I know Jim Jordan, they put a third vote through today, in in the house, and he got 200 votes he needs 217 Now, tomorrow, they're supposed to have another vote. Maybe that'll do it. I think that's important for us. It may not be absolute, but I think it's important for us to move into the arena of political change that we're looking forward to. So let's see what happens with that. All right, outside of that, we do talk to redemption center people occasionally, and tell them some of the top let's just call it the top Wells Fargo personnel - And where we stand right now - is yesterday at the redemption centers. - They were doing a series of I believe five video conference calls, five in one day. That's a lot. We don't know who they're with. We can only presume who they might have been with based on the past and based on Treasury calls and calls with other bankers calls that are maybe international versus calls that are domestic throughout the US. But that occurred yesterday. And I know that where we are today we've got a consensus of redemption centers, staff and top Wells Fargo personnel that are suggesting the same thing and that is they are looking for an email tomorrow morning between 10 and 11 - Eastern time tomorrow. That would most likely go out not only to tier one banks, but also at least to the redemption centers. And it may go out to all the banks. I don't know that. But we know that the redemption centers are looking for it between 10 and 11 in the morning, that would give them a heads up as to notifications - we think are going out tomorrow. It's not absolute, but the notifications come in by email from Treasury between 10 and 11. And it suggests that go ahead for us. We could very well get notified tomorrow. Now, what else? When we get notified - Especially if it's - well, let me put it this way. If we were to get notified before noon, It would be quite possible we would start exchanges on that same day in the afternoon and evening. So in the case of tomorrow, we got it before noon. We can maybe exchange tomorrow afternoon / tomorrow evening - which is Wednesday. Tthat would be great. Now, it doesn't mean that even if they get the email between 10 and 11 that we get notified then. We could get notified in the afternoon. We could get notified overnight. We don't know exactly when to do it and neither do the redemption centers and neither do the top Wells Fargo people. They're just going to have to get in when they get it. So our hope is that we get notified - we set our appointments - and at least start Thursday. That's what I'm hoping that we'll see if that's what manifests I mean, there's so much stuff going on around the globe. And we do need a number of things to get ready to come out. I don't know that they all have to come out before we get notified. We're supposed to still go on a shotgun start with our bondholders and with our other brothers in tier 4A - brothers and sisters in the admirals groups. But I'll say this I think that the shotgun start could be and we've heard it said several times to us. That happened within a 10 to 12 hour period of each other. The bondholders might get access to their funds that such and such. We may get our notifications at such a time – set our appointments to begin in such a time - and the whole thing and the admirals groups, emails and notifications to their participants would go out. It all should occur within about a 12 hour period. it may be tighter than that. It may happen within a two or three hour period. but it should occur within 12 hours of each other. That's what I mean by that is a shotgun start. So you know guys, we've been awfully close before, or at least we thought it was that case. And now we're at that same point of could it happen? Could it happen tomorrow? I don't know - but I'd say one thing. Redemption centers and top executives for the banks are looking for that email to occur between 10 and 11 in the morning. We don't know what it's going to say we think it has to do with the release of notifications, for us. Bondholders still do not have access to funds yet. They would be looking for an email as well that would give them access to funds. And then they have some spendability - they've only had what I call walking around money so far, that's been allocated to them. And it hasn't been a lot. It's been a little something but it hasn't been anywhere near the 1% or 10% or whatever their arrangement is, of what they're going to get. And so, you know, we're gonna have an opportunity to move approximately $1.2 billion into each of our LLC accounts - From our quantum account when we go in. So in the case, in my case, I've got four LLCs. I should be able to move about 1.2B into each account. They're already set up. I mean, the accounts aren’t but the LLCs are set up. That's how I'm choosing to do it. Not the only way to do it. It's just the way that my attorney and I have talked about and decided to do it that way. So I think you know what I'm doing four accounts because one is for rebuild America, one for rebuild international ones for veterans retreat network and one's for the pastoral retreat. But we've got four LLC for four separate projects. You obviously don't have to do it that way. I'm doing it that way, you know, just for accounting purposes and whatever else. So I'm looking forward to it. Remember our appointments are only supposed to last about 30 minutes now. Not 40 like we were taught about a couple of months ago. Now we're looking at trying to get everything done in 30 minutes they're going to have three delarue machines at each redemption center that they can literally - If you had three or four or five different currencies, they can run them quickly through three different people operating those delarue machines at the same time - And that's gonna be cool to listen to that happen - (sound of money counting machine) simulated. So that's exciting. And obviously what's more exciting is what we're going to be able to do with these resources for humanity with our projects and to be prepared for those projects - You need to be as prepared as you can be between now and the first six months, maybe a year. That's really the majority of everything we think I can tell you this. What we got in report today was all the rates are extremely good. And we know that the dinar came back up on the Forex yesterday and came back up on the streets for trading on forex and on the bank screen today. The rates are very good. And I think everybody will be super pleased with that. I don't know if there's anything - you know, it's funny yesterday, and even the day before so that would have been like Sunday and Monday. We had very little information in fact yesterday was sort of a dud because it didn't really bring us much of anything. Today was a little bit better even though we are still waiting for those emails morning. So I'm talking about the ones going to the redemption center centers and the banks that if those turn out positive, then we should operational words “should” be notified as early as tomorrow. But let's see what happens. It’s kind of exciting but you know as well as I do, you know nobody's information in 100% including mine. I do the best I can to bring what I get from several sources, multiple sources, and sometimes we're right on the verge of it. And then something happens and we're not there. So we hope that this is it. I'm looking forward to getting notifications just like you guys. So thanks everybody for tuning in tonight. So thanks for listening everybody all over the globe. Thank you for we finally met we were looking to get 200 countries. On Thursday. We got 201 out of 209. We got two old ones. And I don't think we got to Israel or couple others in the Middle East. That might have been where we were a little short on on Thursday night but hopefully tonight we're reaching quite a few countries. The main thing is that we are looking forward to receiving this blessing. So in a very timely manner here. So let's pray the call out. and then we'll say goodnight for tonight and look forward to see what happens in the next couple of days.

"ANALISIS OF NEWS OF IRAQ" BY SANDY INGRAM, 18 OCT

Sandy Ingram 

 Article: "Iraq Economy News for 2024, According to the IMF is not Good, Iraq Says Differently"  

What the IMF is saying is Iraq's economy forecast is leaning towards a negative because countries with currencies pegged to the US dollar, except Iraq's central bank, have followed the US fed's footsteps and adjusting the interest rates accordingly. 

  In other words Iraq did not follow in the footsteps of the Federal Reserve and as a result the IMF sees Iraq's inflation rate at or around 9% in 2024 rather than at 3.5% the the Iraqi minister of planning announced.  The 5.5% difference is enough to be concerned about.

Protests Emerge Outside the US Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq #shorts, 18 OCT


In the heart of Baghdad, a city steeped in a rich tapestry of history and conflict, a new wave of dissent has unfurled outside the US embassy. The bone of contention: Israel’s devastating airstrikes in Palestine, which have culminated in over 500 fatalities. This public outpouring is one manifestation of a broader swell of protests that has surged across the Middle East and North Africa, a poignant echo of solidarity with Palestine that resonates in the face of escalating violence and rising civilian casualties.

These protests, like a wildfire of indignation, have sparked across countries such as Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Iran, and Turkey. They stand as a collective testament to the outrage against Israel’s actions, their voices amplifying the silent cries of Palestine. The catalyst for this uproar was the deadly Israeli air attack on the Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital in Gaza – arguably the most catastrophic single attack since the start of the Israeli-Hamas war. And while Israel has denied responsibility, the World Health Organization’s condemnation and call for the protection of Gaza’s civilians and healthcare workers reveal the depth of the crisis.

The protests have spread far and wide. From Iran, where crowds thronged outside the French Embassy in Tehran, to Turkey, where protestors outside the Israeli consulate were scattered by the police. In Lebanon, Iraq, and Jordan, protestors attempted to storm the Israeli embassies or consulates, their sentiments a mirror reflecting the region’s long-standing anti-Israel sentiments .

A Global Outcry
Yet, the scope of these protests is not confined to the Middle East and North Africa. In Libya, hundreds marched through the streets of Tripoli, their hands bearing Palestinian flags, their voices chanting slogans of support for Gaza. Reports of protests have also filtered in from Yemen, Morocco, and Tunisia. These global demonstrations underscore the shared anger and disdain for Israel’s actions in Gaza, fueled by decades of oppression and violence against the Palestinian people.

But the international community isn’t merely a silent spectator. US President Joe Biden, who happened to be in Israel during these protests, expressed his grief and outrage over the hospital blast. He even hinted that Israeli forces might not have been responsible. The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which established ties with Israel under the Abraham Accords of 2020, have also condemned the attack. The United States has raised its travel alert for Lebanon and greenlit the voluntary departure of US government personnel’s family members, while Israel’s national security council has warned against travel to Turkey.

The protests, then, are more than just an outpouring of anger and frustration over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They represent a broader sentiment of solidarity with Palestine and a condemnation of the violence and civilian casualties caused by the Israeli airstrikes. And as the death toll continues to rise and the violence escalates, it’s clear that the situation remains far from resolved. The protests, a testament to the deep-rooted anti-Israel sentiments in the region and the strong emotions the conflict arouses, are likely to continue, a stark reminder of the human toll of this seemingly endless conflict.

Coffee with MarkZ and Andy Schectman. 10/18/2023

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Wednesday morning…..Trying hard not to ask “Are we there yet?”  lol

Member: Can I have an RV to go please? Is this the right drive thru?

Member:  I feel like Linus on Charlie Brown just sitting in the Pumpkin Patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive, while all of my friends are out trick-or-treating, oblivious to the Great Pumpkin arrival!

Member:  Mark are we close. just asking for a friend

MZ:I think we are close…..It certainly feels close. 

MZ: I was expecting a lot more news today…especially out of bond sources….they are still hearing conflicting info as to if its now…or when the conflict overseas is settled. There are some with appointments this Friday and they are expecting full funding….There are also a couple appointments for over the weekend…..we shall see…..they had also expected full funding 2 weeks ago. It is interesting getting so many different stories from the bond side.  

Member:  I thought that the bondholders money was going to be released when we went in??

MZ: MilitiaMan did a good video …he is talking about what we mentioned yesterday…..Instead of the dollar at customs and duties…there is de-dollarization. They are making certain that everything is conducted in dinar from here on out.  For government function they can only use dinar….no other currencies. 

MZ: “Government revisits using “Gold Dinar” as reserve currency”  According to the Prime Minister of Malaysia……..and this is yet another story from the PM that they will reinstate a “Gold Dinar” Many countries have realized they need to go to commodity backed/gold backed currency. 

Member:  Don’t get it Iraq acting like they have a new rate … but yet no new rate nor operational budget nor HCL … frustrating

Member:  Iraq needs to borrow Kuwait RV Team and get this done!!

Member:  (From Dinar Guru)  Mnt Goat   The saga about the Iraqi dinar RV only gets better as the months roll on. More and more pieces are put in place for the inevitable revaluation and reinstatement of the dinar. It has become not a matter of “if” these events will occur but “when”.

MZ: It is absolutely a “When” not an “if” 

Member: Mark can this really happen with all the wars going on, Or dose the fighting have to be over.?????

Member: while the world is watching Isreal, banks keep folding....the financial system can't keep going this way...

Member: What do you still expect as the rate for the dong?

MZ: I still expect the low $2 range….$2.25 ish. But, most of my sources say it could be more in the $3 dollar range….we shall see. 

Member: 5 RV’s have happened since World War 2

MZ: Bam….yes they have. There is a lot of historic precedence for what we are going through….. 

Member: Do we need a new speaker of the house before Iraq can move forward?

MZ: We are being told that the ball is in Iraq’s court now….so no…..


Member: I’ve been on this journey since 2016 and it’s been hell

Member: it almost over ! been waiting since 2017

Member: I have been waiting since 2007……I agree- it has been hell…..praying there is a light at the end of this loooong train tunnel

Membeere:  y'all just be patient. When this does finally happen. it will be a great blessing. Just do the best you can with what you have until then.

Member: Everything could change suddenly in the blink of an eye……

Member:  I am not sure I am going to believe when this thing actually happens - I'll be in shock for sure….A good shock

Member:  Mark and Mods thanks for all you do!

PM al-Sudani denounces Israeli attacks on Gaza as genocide, full-fledged war crime, 18 OCT

 PM al-Sudani denounces Israeli attacks on Gaza as genocide, full-fledged war crime, 18 OCT

Shafaq News/ Iraq's Prime Minister Mohamed Shai al-Sudani on Wednesday condemned the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Palestinians in Gaza as a full-fledged war crime and an act of genocide.

Al-Sudani's came during a meeting with Arab parliament speakers and members participating in the 35th Arab Parliamentary Union's emergency conference, held in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, to discuss the evolving situation in Gaza.


Al-Sudani reiterated Iraq's unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, calling for an urgent action to support the Palestinian people who are facing "blatant aggression and a full-fledged war crime, an attempt at genocide, as Israeli authorities have relentlessly targeted innocent civilians."


He also condemned to the recent ruthless bombing of a hospital in Gaza on Tuesday evening, an act that resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives, including children and women.

"This heinous act, which goes against all international conventions and humanitarian law, further underscores the need for immediate international intervention," he added. 


The premier called upon the international community, parliamentary and political entities, to come to the aid of the oppressed Palestinian people, ensuring their full legitimate rights to establish their state on their homeland.
