COFFEE WITH MARKZ ( SPANISH), 21 JULY

 MarkZ, MilitiaMan y Michael Cottrell Viernes 7-21-2023

Miembro: buenos viernes por la mañana patriotas

Miembro: No puedo creer que estemos en otro fin de semana sin dinero...

Miembro: Creo que podría ser un buen día para un RV. ¿Qué piensan ustedes?

Miembro: ¡Estoy listo para que todos tengamos Navidad en julio de este año!

Miembro: Hoy es el “Año Nuevo” de Irak, una fiesta nacional

Miembro: Dang, se siente como si Irak pasara más tiempo "de vacaciones" que en la vida real

MZ: Y aquí aparece MilitiaMan: Bienvenido. Espero que tengas noticias fenomenales.

MM: Tengo que decir que estamos en esa etapa de la montaña rusa en la que hemos estado durante tantos años que está llegando a su fin. Esta mañana vemos que los kurdos han elaborado los 5 días de reuniones y han acordado realizar algunas auditorías no solo sobre la producción de petróleo, sino también sobre los impuestos y aranceles no relacionados con el petróleo en las fronteras... así que parece que están listos para sentarse a la mesa y jugar bien y compartir algunos de esos flujos de ingresos. .No han hecho eso en 20 años….ahora están listos para ser auditados.

MM: Hay otras cosas que esperamos ver en el próximo corto período de tiempo. Hoy es un día santo y festivo... y sabemos que a veces trabajan en días festivos detrás de escena.

MM: Estoy buscando ver las asignaciones presupuestarias de 2023, 24, 25 que se están hablando... necesitan comenzar a gastar dinero en proyectos. Esperemos que las cosas lleguen a buen término en un corto período de tiempo. Estamos en un marco de tiempo fascinante.

MZ: Hemos visto a Irak hacer acuerdos de infraestructura con China... y pagar petróleo por ello. Están evitando el dólar estadounidense.

MM: No es sorprendente verlos eludir el dólar estadounidense. El nuevo sistema…el Iso 202022 es uno que van a usar en toda la región. Personalmente, no veo que el dólar desaparezca al 100% en el corto plazo... pero no creo que los BRICS acepten el dinar iraquí a una tasa de 1300.

MZ: Van a querer que el dinar tenga un valor real.

MM: Todos y su hermano están ansiosos por tener un tipo de cambio de la era anterior que sea internacionalmente aceptado para hacer negocios en la región... todo el mundo viene a Irak. Estos son tiempos emocionantes y me siento muy optimista.

MZ: Sí, tiempos súper emocionantes. ¿Tienes un presentimiento sobre el tiempo en este punto? Todos los letreros se ven muy bien.

MM: Desearía tener una bola de cristal y poder predecir esa fecha... todos estarían saltando de alegría si pudiera. Pero no puedo. Sin embargo, si observamos que todo el sistema está conectado y si creemos que se trata de una iniciativa global e Irak es el eje... podemos ver cosas que sucedieron el jueves que crearon un entorno a través del sistema Fednow (todos tenemos una opinión sobre si esto es parte del sistema QFS o no), pero diferentes sistemas en todo el mundo tendrán que poder comunicarse.

MM: Mi impresión fue que Estados Unidos fue el último en irse. Si ese es el caso, tal vez veamos que este despliegue comienza con sistemas que pagan instantáneamente... dentro de 4-5 segundos cuando todo está dicho y hecho.

Miembro: Tengo una fuente que trabaja en uno de los principales bancos y ha estado volando aquí y allá haciendo transacciones... y dijeron que durante el día las transacciones han tardado 1 segundo o menos en liquidarse.

MM: Vi cosas sobre eso ayer y es fascinante. Y están usando XRP como protocolo para conectarse….han comenzado esto y no se detendrá.

Miembro: XRP fue aceptado para uso de pago en Irak Jim Willie dijo que Irak será el centro del sistema financiero en el este

Miembro: La reunión entre funcionarios iraquíes y XRP el 4 de julio mencionada por Militiaman el otro día fue grande

MZ: Estoy tratando de mantener la calma durante este proceso.

MM: Necesitamos ver cómo implementan esto. Ellos (Irak) necesitan exponernos algunas cosas y esta exposición podría ocurrir mañana, domingo o lunes. Tienen trabajo que hacer y contratos con los que lidiar. La gente necesita que le paguen, así que tendrán que mostrar sus tarjetas. Básicamente, ahí es donde están. Creo que el corto plazo se ve mejor que el largo plazo en este momento.

MM: Escuché a personas decir que esta implementación podría demorar entre 10 y 30 días para que todo se complete. Esto podría incluir a todos los países y no significa que tengamos que esperar tanto. La tasa no puede quedarse en 1300.

MZ: Tienen facturas que pagar, por lo que es el momento proverbial de s * o salir del bote.

Miembro: ¿Conoce algún paso clave que aún les quede por hacer para que Irak libere su tasa revaluada?

MM: Diría que lo que presenciamos esta mañana con los kurdos ahora a bordo... junto con los impuestos y aranceles en las fronteras que son otra fuente de ingresos... y JP Morgan obteniendo la plataforma BUNA para liquidar monedas digitalmente en toda la región está hecho. El sistema ISO ya está conectado con el componente XRP... FedNow está listo... el QFS está listo. Parece que todo está listo. Entonces, si las transacciones pueden liquidarse en segundos ahora... entonces (¿se encoge de hombros con las manos en alto?)

MZ: Sí, estamos viendo todos estos sistemas diferentes en diferentes países y se trata de integrarse con QFS-imo y la banca heredada (¿antiguo sistema bancario?), por lo que era necesario que todo el sistema de transferencia casi instantáneo estuviera en su lugar antes de apretar el gatillo.

MM: Y creo que estamos viendo la evidencia de eso. Entonces, siempre que el momento es el menos impactante, el sistema es cuando creemos que vamos a ver eso.

Miembro: Siempre nos decían todos los sábados por la noche que todos los bancos del mundo cierran por un breve tiempo... en mi opinión, ese podría ser el momento en que aprieten el gatillo.

Miembro: ¿Fednow es solo para EE. UU.?

MZ: Ahora, cada país tiene su propia versión de un sistema de transferencia instantánea. Una mezcolanza para hacer que todos los sistemas heredados funcionen.

MM: Y todos estos sistemas pueden hablar consigo mismos en todo el mundo.

MZ: Fednow NO es una CBDC. Es simplemente un sistema de transferencia o pago transfronterizo. Se puede usar para bien o para mal. Me dijeron que no debemos temer a FedNow a menos que veamos que la reserva federal implementa el CBDC, entonces se convertirá en algo de lo que preocuparse.

MM: Creo que el objetivo es ser seguro, seguro y rápido. Que todos tengan una gran tarde.

Miembro: Gracias MM por todo tu trabajo e información.

Miembro: Mi entendimiento es qfs es el sistema y feed ahora es el proceso para transferir

Miembro: necesitan sacar a la Fed de FedNow para que cualquiera confíe en ella

Miembro: Creo que pronto nos cambiarán a una moneda respaldada por oro

Miembro: Nader dijo que los bancos iraquíes le dijeron al cbi que aumentara la tasa del dinar

Miembro: están en la Organización Mundial del Comercio, ¡eso es enorme!

Miembro: Escuché que la implementación y las pruebas del Protocolo 20 han comenzado. Esta fase de prueba se completará el 22 de agosto.

MZ: La mayoría de mis contactos simplemente se apagaron... Seguimos escuchando rumores de que a algunas personas se les paga, pero no puedo encontrar a una sola persona que tenga dólares. No puedo encontrar una ballena líquida en ninguna parte... y he buscado.

Miembro: Si es un comienzo de escopeta…. ellos van cuando nosotros vamos……

MZ: Sigo pensando que las cosas son excepcionalmente positivas. Solo abróchate el cinturón y mantente listo. Comienza a poner tus patos en fila con los preparativos.

Miembro: Pedalea hasta el metal, golpea con el martillo y mueve este RV ahora

Miembro: Ore para que suceda la RV, lo antes posible para Irak, que fue tratado tan mal por los EE. UU., así como por muchos países del mundo y el pueblo estadounidense. Dios los bendiga.

"RV UPDATE" BY GOLDILOCKS, 21 JULY

 Goldilocks and Seeds of Wisdom

Goldilocks posted comments and links on global economics:

ISO 20022…. LET’S DO IT
ALERT: THE FEDERAL RESERVE OF THE UNITED STATES COULD LAUNCH ITS FEDNOW REAL-TIME PAYMENTS SERVICE AS EARLY AS TOMORROW

Iraq is in the process of creating an electronic mechanism that would force the sale of the Iraqi dinar inside the bank system and away from external markets putting pressure on their National Currency to rise outside of their control.

Banks in Iraq who achieve this benchmark will be given preferential treatment inside the Foreign Currency Market.

These banks will be given an opportunity to experience more inflows from Governmental funds to help them achieve this goal.

Once this goal is reached, Iraq will be able to formulate a real value for their currency going forward.

~~~~~~~~~~

The BRICS Nations have been buying massive amounts of gold.This expands the net worth of their currencies as an alternative monetary holding.

This puts more pressure on mining companies around the world to accelerate in their ability to function as an alternative source of income available to the world.

If they are successful in creating these new functions for gold, gold will be seen as an alternative Global Currency.

These new demands would increase the value of gold as well as force a repricing event in Gold we are looking for to liquidate our Global economies.

This repricing event would affect our digital, as well as, paper currencies around the world and give companies more money flow to grow their business ventures.

All roads lead to gold, and gold will set us free.

Institutional money is beginning to flow into the crypto space. Companies like BlackRock, Rothschild, Vanguard, and Franklin Templeton have and are beginning to liquidate the digital markets.

These Big Players are capable of moving a market forward, and their visions for a digital economy have placed them into a position that carves out a pathway for their companies to thrive inside a new economic environment.

As we have already pointed out in a previous article, the inclusion of crypto, gold, and the dollar are rapidly becoming inseparable forces of nature that cannot be stopped.

Chainlink Launches Cross-Chain Protocol to Bridge Blockchains With Traditional Capital Markets”

New digital protocols allowing crypto networks to cross over into Traditional Capital Markets are forming Bridges between money and the marketplace.

This is why I keep sharing with you that digital-assets, gold, and money will operate as one entity going forward through smart contracts and artificial intelligence.

______________________________________________________

The tokenization of commodities and assets gives a real value to prices that will secure monetary valuations moving them inside an economy.

This makes a Global Currency Reset more than a possibility. It is inevitable.

As each country formulates digital monetary policies that will meet with recommendations from the G20 meeting in September for the Global Economy, we are being positioned for a standardized process that can give us a path forward.

~~~~~~~~~~

The above process will not take long in a small country like Iraq, and once they have a real value in the microcosm they can take it to the macrocosm.

Currently, they have been using a programmed rate for “in country.” The next step for them in determining a real rate for their country is what they are doing right now.

It will lead to the project of deleting the three zeros.

DINARLAND UPDATE, 21 JULY

MarkZ

[via PDK]

We have heard the HCL is a big key piece and they are acting like its already done over there…  I continue to hear everything is ready and prepared and they just need to decide when to pull the trigger.

Enorrste

We’re hopeful the securities law will get passed within a month or two.  That allows for the stock exchange in Iraq to grow.  At this point it’s minuscule…

 Bruce (The Big Call)

[via WiserNow]

Regarding windows when would it start?  …all the bankers, all the heads of banks have been contacted. This is to go and to let their people know, it’s real and it’s starting. And we’re underway.

…So I’m excited about where we stand right now, you guys. I think this is the closest we’ve ever been to having it actually manifest. And I’m excited about that.

BGG (Dinar Updates)

[reference Guru Pimpy’s post dated 7-17-2023]

Personally, I think it would be the best thing in the world for the Dinar Investor if they did join some “Brics type” union APART from the US. They could even be a reserve currency (since their oil would be bought and sold in Dinar)… meaning the currency you hold would be vastly more valuable . Forget what the US thinks…

"IRAQ BOOTS ON THE GROUND REPORT" BY FIREFLY, 21 JULY

 Frank26 (KTFA)

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]

FIREFLY:  Bank friends says the key to everything that we’re looking for is within the oil and gas because we all know here in Iraq that when they present to us the oil and gas law it will be with a new rate because how are you gonna decide to divide up what everybody gets if you don’t know what the rate is?

FRANK: The key to everything is in that HCL, that’s in the budget, that is waiting for the new exchange rate…

FIREFLY: We are rather anxious.  There are many folks here in the streets that are talking about the dinar.  We were told that the Iraqi dinar would be stronger than the dollar and yet it has not happened yet.  The Financial Committee of parliament is calling in the CBI governor Allaq to question him about it asking him why hasn’t there been a change in the exchange rate of our currency…that are asking the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq to make the dinar stronger than the dollar as quickly as possible…

Clare:  Al-Sadr's supporters burn the Swedish embassy.. The Foreign Ministry denounces and Stockholm holds the Iraqi authorities responsible

7/19/2023

The Swedish embassy in Baghdad was set on fire at dawn, Thursday, during a demonstration organized by supporters of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, on the eve of a gathering in Sweden in front of the Iraqi embassy whose organization intends to burn a copy of the Quran.

The attack on the Swedish embassy in Baghdad came after the Swedish police allowed the organization of a small gathering in front of the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm, where the organizer intends to burn a copy of the Koran and the Iraqi flag on Thursday.

For its part, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned in a statement "in the strongest terms" the burning of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Sweden in Baghdad, calling for the launch of an "urgent investigation" into the incident.

The statement stated that "the Iraqi government instructed the competent security authorities to conduct an urgent investigation and take the necessary security measures with the aim of uncovering the circumstances of the incident and identifying the perpetrators of this act and holding them accountable according to the law."

And Silwan Momica, who wants to burn the Qur’an in Sweden today, Thursday, is an Iraqi refugee there, and on June 28 he also burned pages of a copy of the Qur’an in front of the largest mosque in Stockholm on Eid al-Adha.

In response to the storming of its embassy, the Swedish Foreign Ministry said: We condemn all attacks on diplomats and staff of international organizations. All employees of our embassy in Baghdad are safe and the ministry is in regular contact with them.

She added that the attacks on embassies and diplomats constitute a serious violation of the Vienna Convention, and the Iraqi authorities bear the responsibility to protect diplomatic missions and their personnel.   LINK

Clare:  Iraq.. The Communications and Media Commission suspends the license of the Swedish Ericsson Telecom Company

7/20/2023

Baghdad - 

Today, Thursday, the Iraqi Media and Communications Authority announced the suspension of the license to operate the Swedish company Ericsson for communications in Iraqi territory.  

The commission said in a statement, which Mawazine News received a copy of, that "the head of the Media and Communications Commission, Ali al-Moayyed, suspended the license to operate the Swedish Ericsson Telecom Company in Iraqi territory because its country allowed the burning of the Holy Qur'an and the Iraqi flag."

The media office of the prime minister announced in a statement that the latter "directs the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to withdraw the Iraqi Chargé d'Affaires from the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq in the Swedish capital, Stockholm. He also instructed the Swedish ambassador in Baghdad to leave Iraqi territory, in response to the repeated permission of the Swedish government to burn the Holy Qur'an, insult Islamic sanctities, and burn the Iraqi flag."

Earlier, Al-Sudani chaired an emergency meeting against the background of granting the Swedish government a license to burn the Qur’an, and the incident of burning the Swedish embassy in Baghdad.

The Swedish authorities summoned the Iraqi charge d'affairs in the country, following the burning of its embassy in Baghdad, in protest against Sweden's granting of approval to burn the Qur'an in front of the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm.   LINK

Clare:  It has been suspended for more than 10 years.. Parliament announces the activation of the Article 140 Committee, according to a political agreement

7/20/2023

Today, Thursday (July 20, 2023), the Second Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Shakhwan Abdullah, announced the reactivation of the temporary committee formed in the House of Representatives to follow up the work of the Article 140 Committee of the Constitution, while pointing out that this committee has been suspended for more than 10 years.

Abdullah said in a press conference held with the participation of members of Parliamentary Committee 140, followed by "Baghdad Today", that "the temporary committee formed in the House of Representatives to follow up on the work of the Article 140 Committee of the Constitution, which has been suspended for more than 10 years, was activated after the agreement of the political blocs and support for the activation of this article."

He added, "There are thousands of transactions from those affected by the policies of the defunct regime within the framework of Article 140. We noticed through representatives of the governorates that there are many files, and the truth is that the amount allocated for compensation by the government in the 2023 budget is a very small amount."

And Abdullah continued, "The committee needs to complete its tasks to four trillion. Only 100 billion dinars have been allocated, and after efforts, another 100 billion were transferred to become the amount of 200 billion. This amount needs to be organized for how compensation reaches those included in the article. A mechanism has been established for the work of the committee, and there are regular weekly meetings for the work of Committee 140 to push for its real activation and completion of its tasks."

And he pointed out, "One of the tasks of the committee is also the necessary legislation and the abolition of the decisions of the Revolutionary Command Council that are unfair to the rights of the people of many provinces."

Abdullah concluded, "We thank the efforts of the government that voted on a draft law to cancel the decisions of the Revolutionary Command Council. The committee will have its first tasks to seek to receive the draft law from the government and approve it to ensure the restoration of farmers' rights. There will be a mechanism in cooperation with the government committee to reach citizens' dues in all governorates because there are southern governorates that did not receive compensation in addition to the governorates of Kirkuk, Diyala and Nineveh."

Yesterday, Wednesday (July 19, 2023), the former deputy of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Hassan Ali, criticized the exploitation of the problems of "Article 140" as the elections approached. Stressing that its solution "lies only through the constitution."

In an exclusive interview with "Baghdad Today," Alli seemed surprised by "exploiting the problems of the politically disputed regions with the approach of each new election cycle," considering that "delaying the implementation of the article does not mean at all that it has ended in a constitutional article."

The aforementioned constitutional article does not fall away with time, according to the Kurdish MP. Which confirms that "these areas must be private by the federal government."

The speaker acknowledges the continuation of the problems of the disputed areas, and links their solution exclusively to the "constitution," noting that "the mobilization of politicians will continue with every electoral process."

Yesterday, Wednesday (July 19, 2023), he announced the formation of a political alliance that includes 13 Kurdish parties to participate in the provincial elections in the disputed areas, without including the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Kurdistan Islamic Union.  LINK
