Military Expert: America Will Not Leave Iraq Without A Long-Term Security Agreement, 30 JAN
Military Expert: America Will Not Leave Iraq Without A Long-Term Security Agreement
01/29/2024 Mawazine News – Baghdad Military expert Sarmad Al-Bayati confirmed the impossibility of the withdrawal of American forces without concluding a strategic security agreement with Iraq, noting that the Iraqi airspace is exposed and America can never leave it without sovereignty.
The Iraqi military expert, Sarmad Al-Bayati, said in a statement followed by Mawazine News: “There is a big difference in the statements between Iraq and the United States, and some may be confused about what is happening, despite what was announced about the formation of an American-Iraqi military committee to sit with the international coalition.” "
Al-Bayati added: “But those sitting on the Iraqi side in this committee are figures who have nothing to do with the issue of the withdrawal of coalition forces, including the Federal Police, whose work is linked to NATO, so they focused in the meeting on assessing the threat of ISIS and operational training, in addition to the most important One point, which is to strengthen Iraqi armed capabilities.”
The military expert stressed that "it is impossible for any withdrawal of international coalition forces to take place if the strengthening of armed capabilities and control of Iraqi airspace is not completed. Therefore, cooperation continues with the coalition, and even if a withdrawal occurs, the American forces will take a long time on this matter."
Al-Bayati stressed, "The American forces will not leave Iraqi airspace uncontrollably, so there will certainly be a strong security agreement between Baghdad, Washington, and the international coalition, and it is not easy to leave Iraq an easy prey for ISIS."
The Iraqi expert explained, "The Americans actually work in Iraqi military bases as advisors, but there are other forces to protect them, and thus their secrets and policies in the region remain with them. It is not easy to know their true number in Iraq, because they do not give their combat position to any party."
Al-Bayati ruled out that there would be any forced exit of the international coalition forces from Iraq, because the matter would have a negative impact on the entire country. Therefore, no forced evacuation of them would occur, but rather after assessing the situation regarding the extent of the threat and danger of ISIS.
American forces returned to Iraq in 2014 as part of the international coalition forces, at the request of the Iraqi government to support them in confronting ISIS, which invaded a large part of the lands in the north and west after the collapse of the Iraqi army units. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=241271

We also believe, we also know, that 400,000 emails are, if not overnight, starting tomorrow and they are for T4B and mainly for North America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Caribbean islands, so We can say, it's mainly Zim headlines starting tomorrow, and don't be surprised. if they don't leave before lunch time and they want us Zim holders to come in first because they want the hydration and for us these funds go to our QFS account and then we move a certain amount of funds to our main account, and really we won.
I don't have much time to do more so for me between 10 and noon tomorrow, but if 400,000 leave, more will leave later that day and including Thursday, we thought they would all go at once, but that's not exactly what's going to happen – - then at least we can call with the 800 number – are you in the first one? – I don't know – but if you only have currency don't worry, your email will arrive. And don't worry, I will put the 800 on our website and everyone will receive it as soon as we can make it available.
That's really interesting, the 10 a.m. start. m. for the bond sellers and then we are next. And this is what our best sources told us last night at midnight – on Monday within 24 – 36 hours WE WILL ALL BE SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR – we know that the banks and RC had four employees today and 6 tomorrow and that is to take appointments and if you get those numbers, we could make exchanges tomorrow. I really want us all to smile from ear to ear and tomorrow is January 24th so maybe the Chinese will get their 8 after all and I know everyone is ready for a life changing event. This will happen and we expect those numbers tomorrow and also for the Admiral in T4A. So if this happens like I'm told, we won't have a call on Thursday, but maybe just a link in an email for a celebratory call. .
So if we have your email, you're signed up and that's the main way we'll communicate with you: we have things to do in those first few weeks and plans to upgrade our house or car and even a vacation, whatever you want to do. - DO IT – and then we'll be ready to start all those projects. Remember we were looking for people who still wanted to get involved with some of them. We will have questionnaires you can take online for that. I'm really encouraged by what I heard and I want everyone to stay focused and look for those emails and this is what I heard today so have faith that it will manifest.
Thanking all the listeners around the world.
I know you ALL will pray with Bruce and I know you will continue to pray because all of Humanity desperately needs him, as you ALL know. I love you ALL, gem.

And then the 11th – we are supposed to have announcements made regarding Nesara and possibly Gesara and not sure how deep those things will be talked about – but we know more than many others including Gold Backed currencies and R&R allowances and that we’re not paying income tax and there are so many things and remember that flat tax on new items – and that to be collected at the state level and then split to support interests for the Federal government.
And going away from Maritime Law to Common Law – so many aspects that we might get those announcements Thursday or even the political change or overturn of the elections – so who knows? We’ve had dates come and go and things moving us towards this goal and even the RC and banks have the new currency in their vaults and the new USN monies in the RC for us and this has happened.
And yesterday morning the RC leaders and bank managers in at least one area and throughout the US to put in their access codes and submit them to Treasury and that was about 11.30 – noon – so banks and RC – the leaders and bank manager all put in their codes and now they just need the green light to given them that to proceed and to send out the emails for us in T4B and A to make our appointments and our exchanges – so they are done – and now it’s up to the Treasury to give that green light. So that’s where we are and we go onto Bond Holders some have received emails and some are still waiting for emails. I think the majority should have them overnight tonight for access to their accounts and access to 10% and the remaining 90% in 90 days.
So when are we going to be notified – let me put it this way the BH’s tonight or tomorrow and they are T3 and I believe once they have those emails – if we are in a shotgun start could take 12 – 14 hours to receive our notifications – so we’ll see how that works out for us and how close we are and with what is going on tomorrow and Thursday – it looks like we are right there.
Remember this – this is the information I’m getting – obviously we don’t need new intel – we just need the Intel we are getting to come TRUE – and many things have come True – but what is the timing for us – what is our date – we ALL know this and this is the one thing we’ve not had an accurate predication of – but we are getting closer whether we know about them or notification
From Military contacts major concentration of arrests and is now ongoing here and Internationally and going great guns and they aren’t getting much resistance – do we have enough arrests – yes – and that is enough for us to move forward these accounts are already funded and they just like the bond holders who can see the funds and just need access. And that’s where we are as far as I can tell – especially Wed/Thurs – with some talk about the 17th but that’s next week are there other things like the Epstein papers and that’s coming out between now and the summer – but when it does it will rattle a lot of people and that’s all I wanted to say and now Bruce is talking about Sue
So that’s for sure all the intel he has for us tonight – so am sure he’ll be thanking the whole team Sue and Bob and GCK and Pastor (prayers for him because he had a fall recently) and Jeannie and Larry – and all those very faithful listeners from around the world. Then praying out the call – so please join with Bruce in those prayers and please dear ones keep praying because it really does sound as if the coming hours and couple of days are really pivotal for us to receive those notifications – Please pray with the deepest of heartfelt intent – I know you ALL WILL – this Heavenly Blessing is so desperately BUT YOU ALL KNOW THAT. Love Always Gem.

Iraq has already been making changes to the new exchange rate in Iraq and the dollar is DEAD in Iraq. They want them to transition to the new lower denominations. This is where the ban on publishing internationally seems to be controlled by the states from here and from what we have heard it will be removed tomorrow and if the exchange rate of the dinar is known internationally, we know that there are nine in the first basket that are increasing in value. – and most of you have IQD – ZIM – IRP – Afghani and Dong and Bolivar, there are nine in total increasing in value and the rest of the currencies half will remain the same and the other half will go down slightly – they have changed things slightly and only we need the toll-free numbers and we are off to the races – so please hold on – we may be there – so look at the information and maybe this is close – maybe soon – and now I am sure that Bruce We will continue talking about Sue and your programs and we will also talk about staying with Plan A until Plan B happens; We really have to think positively about this, and all we can do is get on with it and redeem our Zim and trade.
Yeah, he's talking about Sue now, so I'm pretty sure that's our information for tonight and it still sounds good for this week, so I'm sure, as always, he'll thank his entire team, including Sue, Bob, GCK, Pastor Scott, Jeannie and Larry, and also as always praying for the calling, we have to keep praying until this Heavenly Blessing is FULLY MANIFESTED in our lives, so pray with Bruce and keep praying, my dear ones, with the most sincere intention that they can muster, without giving up NOW.

An investment budget it's not going to work at 1310. They don't have enough dinar to do that...The project is to delete the zeros off the exchange rate. Once they have done that, they've applied the Real Effective Exchange Rate they're going to have to do things differently. The world knows that.
WTO...Bank of International Settlements ... IMF...US Treasury...US Fed - everybody seems to be the ones that are knowing it but they just haven't quite done it yet or are they working to finish a process that is highly complex? That's my opinion...
Germany had a marshal plan. Japan had a marshal plan. Iraq to me is a Marshal Plan. What does that mean? It means after the war they're going to rebuild the country. After Germany, rebuilt.

Iraq has a few more things they really have to fix. Taxation [and] their tax system in general. In addition to that they have to learn how to balance a budget...Balancing their budget, fixing their tax system would go a long ways in Iraq...
If you increase your money supply that is going to cause the value of your currency to go down. Think supply and demand. The more you have of something the less valuable it is. What does that mean?
You have to get rid of the 3-zeros. By getting rid of the 3 zeros you need less bills to make purchases...
90% of Iraq's exports are in oil... Remember Iraq wants to be competitive in the trade market. Increases in their exchange rate would cause the items they are exporting to go up in cost. Since 90% of the exports is oil, this is different...An increase in Iraq's exchange rate could lead to a stronger Iraqi dinar relative to other currencies. This would mean for each unit of oil sold, Iraq would receive more foreign currency.
Iraq's revenues from oil exports could potentially rise. So they can increase their exchange rate and what they could do to balance that increase in their exchange rate is either increase or decrease their oil production...We also know their foreign currency reserves have increased to $115 billion. Increasing the exchange rate would also increase their currency holding, which is good because they can us that to protect the Iraqi dinar. Increasing the exchange rate would benefit Iraq big time.

Kazem Al-Touki, a member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, confirmed on Monday that the Kurds have placed obstacles to resolving and ending the oil and gas law and handing it over to Parliament for reading and voting on it.
Al-Touki told Al-Maalouma, “Members of the Oil and Gas Committee communicated and moved towards the political parties and heads of blocs in order to end the problems of the Oil and Gas Law and ensure its passage in Parliament.”
He added, "Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani continues to move to end the aforementioned law, and to reach a consensus formula agreed upon by everyone in order to resolve the law and vote on it, especially since the government program focused on this file."
He stated that "the Kurds do not have the seriousness to resolve the oil and gas law, and obstacles have been placed in front of this law, which now needs political consensus before it is sent to the House of Representatives for the purpose of reading and voting on it." link

...the hot topic in the CBI, as my contact told me...is that the CBI is working towards getting the parallel black market rate in check with the “official” CBI rate of the dinar. I asked my contact why the past plan to end this crisis has not yet ended it?
I was told it is taking more than expected for the measures underway to take hold, but that they will eventually end the crisis and the rate will come down..
I then asked about the “basket of currencies” we been hearing about to re-peg the dinar. I was told this is coming but they can’t peg the current in-country rate until they resolve the parallel market crisis and move to FOREX.
This is exactly what I wanted and needed to hear. This falls directly in-line with the 2011 Dr. Shabibi plan I have talked so much about already. So all is very good in my eyes as far as this process goes.
