 The Securities Commission Warns Against Dealing With Fictitious Companies Claiming To Provide Stock Trading Services

Chairman of the Securities Commission Faisal Al-Haimas  Stock Exchange Economy News – Baghdad  The Securities Commission warned citizens, on Thursday, against dealing with fictitious companies that claim to provide online stock trading services.

BRUCE: WHERE ARE WE NOW?, 14 DEC

 WHERE ARE WE NOW?

We heard that the IQD was between $4 and $4.20 in Iraqi trade and that our rates in the RC will be much higher and yes, we will be offered the contract rate; and if you want to find out what it is, try to find out what the price per barrel is and you'll find out, and that's your rate and it's a contract rate.

What we heard most recently, this afternoon, is that we are going to have an incredible weekend. Now it's Thursday, we hear that it's Friday and that we will start on Saturday. Now we are hearing that the releases will be on Saturday for bond holders and for us at T4B, so not so much tomorrow,

 but on Saturday and the Redemption Centers would be open on Sunday if we start on Saturday, but the main thing is to get those figures advance. This is a short way of saying that this is what we're hearing and WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC WEEKEND.

Now, at the Redemption Center, the rates were on the screens and then they went off. It's called "digital sequencing," like bank transfers. 

They are using Fintec to allow everything to go much faster and that is what they are doing and rates will go up again. There is no point in not using the R Center.

 So believe Bruce: they exist and he has contacts who are the real leaders and are in charge of the staff working on the exchanges. And if you have two boxes or less, you should let them know when you call and they should have the Starlink system and this is capable of handling them for you.

So, it is quite different from currency. And Bruce has no idea how many bonds are in a box. So if you have loose-leaf bonuses, the big ones count too. When you call, they transfer you to the call center who will take care of you when you give them the zip code of your home or where you work or where you want to exchange.

So I'm sure we're ALL more than happy with tonight's information, AS LONG AS IT ALL COME TRUE THIS TIME. I MEAN SERIOUSLY, WE JUST NEED THIS TO HAPPEN AT ONCE SO THAT EVERYONE, NOT JUST THE SELECTED FEW, RECEIVE THIS HEAVENLY BLESSING. Definitely.

--_--


That's how it is! We all really hope that this is the weekend we have been waiting for and that everyone is announcing...

Central banks are closing and going bankrupt.

The old financial systems are broken. Congress, the White House, the IRS, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve are closed. American corporations are bankrupt.

Gold Backed Currency, Digital Assets, QFS, Nesara Gesara is Booming! ✨

QFS NESARA Gesara speaks. The Global/Galactic Alliance continues to work to eliminate the control the DS cabal has over humanity; They are currently removing the satanic spell on the global mass. The journey of the Great Awakening will be more intense and turbulent.

The Earth and humanity are under construction while businesses remain open. The DS, panicked, desperate and wounded, launch savage attacks.

Satanic energies can no longer be hidden because this is something that everyone can see throughout the matrix society.

True colors are being revealed. Many more unpleasant truths will be revealed to the public.

Why will Iraq become one of Trump’s “priorities” in the coming period? – Urgent, 13 DEC

 Why will Iraq become one of Trump’s “priorities” in the coming period? – Urgent

Baghdad Today – Baghdad

Political researcher Ahmed Al-Yasiri predicted, on Friday (December 13, 2024), that major changes will take place in the Middle East region after Donald Trump assumes the presidency of the United States of America.

Al-Yasiri said in an interview with Baghdad Today, “Trump is planning major changes in the Middle East region, and therefore the region is entering a new phase, and Iraq will be at the forefront of these changes in terms of the security and economic reality.”

He added, “According to this change, Iraq will witness internal events, some of which will be difficult and related to the security aspect of the weapons file outside the control of the state. Trump is planning to significantly limit these weapons as part of the policy of trimming Iran’s arms in the region.”

Trump will assume his duties as US President on January 20, and since winning the presidential elections, he has been making provocative statements from time to time about developments in the region, including that if the detainees in Gaza are not released before his inauguration, there will be “hell” in the Middle East, he said.

STATUS OF THE RV , PART. 3 BY MNT GOAT, 13 DEC

 STATUS OF THE RV , PART. 3

Remember that the CBI tries to stay out of politics and adhere to a neutral stand to govern the monetary policy. We can only pray that this new process to begin at the end of 2024 will bring success for Iraq. But let me add also a question. 

Why did the CBI decide to wait until the end of their fiscal year to do it? Hint,,,, Hint,,,, could it be under the direction of Dr Shabibi they also told us the most opportune time to conduct a substantial revaluation is at the beginning of a fiscal year?

 Their fiscal year begins January 1st. Just saying. We have to put the pieces together to see why they are doing what they are doing. Also I then back up with my conversation I had just yesterday with my CBI contact that told me her committee to switch out the notes still intends to go forward with the process of deleting the zeros at this same time period also. Coincidental?

😊 Oh, but now let me bring you one more article today titled “AL-SUDANI: IRAQ IS A KEY MEMBER OF THE INTERNATIONAL COALITION” You definitely want to read this one. Now a member of an international coalition? Really? Do you realize just how amazing this news is?

In it Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mr. Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, received today, Tuesday, Commander of the US Central Command, General Michael Kurilla, and his accompanying delegation.

 In the meeting witnessed discussions on cooperation and coordination between Iraq and the international coalition in combating terrorism and confronting extremism.

 The Prime Minister stressed that Iraq is a key member of this coalition and is committed to cooperating with the international coalition to confront and monitor terrorist groups in a way that preserves security and stability in the region.

So, what is this article telling us. It tells me that Iraq just jumped for a timid country hopeful for it’s survival through Chapter VII sanctions to a more powerful force in the middle east that just joined a military coalition NOW to help preserve security and stability in the region.

 Opps there that security and stability once again. But this time to preserve it. Well, well you can preserve it if you don’t have it in the first place, right? Get it?

 Do you see my point? Does this sound like a country that is going to stay with 1/6 of a penny dinar? For how much longer can they delay this next move? So once again I am saying to the CBI please don’t try to snow-job us investors any longer.

We must keep praying. So, if you never prayed before, please try to pray this time for Iraq and the sovereignty of their country and to overcome any obstacle preventing them from moving forward with their monetary policy. I include some help in how to pray too but you can pray in your own way.

 Simply just talk to God and tell Him what you desire. Pray in the name of Jesus. Folks, even if you don’t believe in prayer or even God, what harm would it do to pray.

 Folks, it could only help. Please give it a try. So far it is working and this has been the secret all along to the sudden progress we have seen in just the last 2 years. Some say but, but or but….and they go on to why the changes in policy have happened. But we must remember that God works through the physical world as this is where we live. He is not going to send down chariots pulled by four white stallions full of gold bullion and give it to us. This would be wonderful by it is not how He works.

He added, "The products of these companies on display are made with the latest technologies and we are in dire need of them as Iraq is witnessing a major urban renaissance, in addition to the market's need for such products," noting that "most of the companies participating today are from the private sector, which is the main partner in the process of construction, reconstruction and development in general."

The Iraqi Parliament... Frustrates Iraqis and Causes Huge Financial Losses, 13 DEC

 The Iraqi Parliament... Frustrates Iraqis and Causes Huge Financial Losses

The Iraqi parliament ended its second legislative session without being able to pass any of the pending controversial laws, despite extending its sessions for an additional month to try to resolve these sensitive issues.

At the forefront of these laws are the general amnesty, personal status, state real estate, and the vital amendment to the general budget law, which is seen as a renewed dilemma affecting the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region.

These issues reflect the deep-rooted differences between political parties, where factional, sectarian and national interests appear to be a solid barrier to any common understanding.

According to an informed political source speaking from Baghdad, “the delay in passing the laws was not due to the complexity of the texts as much as it was a direct result of party directives that prompted some representatives to deliberately miss sessions in order to disrupt the legal quorum.”

The source added that these directives are linked to what he called “rearranging political alliances” that precede any influential vote.

Citizen Ahmed Al-Saadi, an activist from Basra, commented in a Facebook post saying: “The House of Representatives lives in a parallel world; it discusses matters that concern its interests while the citizen suffers from crises in services and the economy. The budget is faltering, oil exports have stopped, and millions are being lost every day.”

A similar tweet on the X platform described the situation as “legislative chaos that reflects the collapse of the concept of the state in favor of the concept of class and party.”

The election of Mahmoud al-Mashhadani as the new speaker of parliament has sparked great controversy. Analysts have suggested that this change reflects an attempt to restore the image of the legislative institution, but the same analyses have not ruled out that the issue could turn into a mere change in names without achieving a fundamental change in performance.

Social researcher Ali Al-Jubouri said: “This election is like trying to treat a deep wound with a simple bandage. The problem lies in the quota structure that turns positions into fixed shares for parties and sects.”

On the other hand, obstructing the amendment related to the budget law will cause the state huge losses.

According to economic information published by a local financial institution, stopping oil exports from the Kurdistan Region costs Iraq more than $8 million per day, deepening the financial crisis for both the federal state and the region.

Kurdish citizen Saman Abdullah from Erbil spoke in a video clip he posted on Facebook, saying: “Political differences do not only harm Baghdad, but we in the region are paying the price directly. Employee salaries are delayed, and prices are rising without control.”

An analysis by economic expert Fadhel Al-Dulaimi explained that the crisis could become more complicated if it is not resolved in the coming months.

Al-Dulaimi said: “Without an agreement on the budget law and oil exports, the economic situation may explode, especially with the increase in debts and the decrease in cash reserves.”

The atmosphere inside the parliament is described as gloomy, according to what a citizen named Iman Al-Taie said on her X account, where she said: “The representatives are exchanging accusations via media platforms, while we have not seen any practical steps yet. Everyone blames everyone else, but it is the people who pay the price.”

Thus, the Iraqi parliament remains stuck in a vicious circle of disagreements, as its sessions turn into an arena for settling political scores instead of resolving crises. Analysts expect that this situation will continue as long as sectarian and nationalist quotas govern the state’s scene.  link
