[via PDK] We do have people from the UN in Iraq today. “UN Security council to discuss Iraq: budget, security and human rights on the agenda” They are telling us how well the discussions went. They say Iraq is making great progress.
Comment: I think the US is holding up the process. MarkZ: I think they were…I don’t think they are now. I think they desperately need it now...guess what the US desperately needs right now for stability? They need Iraq to RV.
Comment: I have exchanged currencies all over the world and have never been taxed on it. MarkZ: And this should be no different …I am still hearing we will not be taxed on this exchange…BUT, am prepared in case we are…. [Always check with your tax professional at the appropriate time.]
Question: How is the war affecting the RV…is it now delayed? MarkZ: I am told it may be a small speed bump but will not distract from it completely. Most of my sources think this is still our week. I sure hope so…

Today the news is almost all about the dollar crisis in Iraq and the CHANGE that must take place.
My talking point today is about this dollar crisis Iraq and how it is now experiencing it in simple terms, caused by still being on the US dollar through these currency auctions and being on it way too long already.
Seems the corruption schemes have taken deep roots and Turkey, Iran, Syria and other middle eastern countries have become dependent on the dollars smuggled out of Iraq’s financial system.
This too is going to be painful for these other countries when the dollar stops in Iraq in early 2024.
Change is not easy and as investors in the Iraqi dinar we have witnessed first-hand in 2023 the pain of this change that MUST take place.
In today’s news we learn that Iraq was seeking a special shipment of $1 billion in cash from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, but U.S. officials have withheld approval, saying the request runs counter to their efforts to rein in Baghdad’s use of dollars and halt illicit cash flows to Iran.
Then yet another article came out later by the CBI tells us something much different and I quote – “the Central Bank of Iraq denies the US Federal Reserve’s refusal to send the country’s oil dues and confirmed on Friday that the dollar shipments sent by the US Federal Bank are proceeding according to a specific schedule and timings agreed upon between the two monetary institutions adding that the shipment was received on time, denying news and media reports that talk about stopping or reducing shipments sent to the bank“.
So, who is lying?
Does Iraq also have a FAKE news media channels and for what purpose do they hope to serve?
To me anyhow, it is obvious who the FAKE news in Iraq serves.
It serves the corrupt and by bashing the Central Bank they hope to get consent to oust Ali Al-Alaq as the governor and to destabilize the dinar, hoping to keep their racket of corruption going with the US Dollar.
It is really that simple.
They need to split public opinion, as we are watching the same tactics now being used too in the US politics over Donald Trump and many of his close ties.
Seems if you can’t nail down who the actual corrupt individuals are, then it is much easier to keep them in power.
We see this with the Bushs, Clintons, Obamas and now the Bidens.
Of course, these same rings of corrupt politicians exist in Iraq and so they must also be rooted out and dealt with.
Just like what the US now faces, we have to ask is the new and still fragile Iraqi democratic republic strong enough to deal with them?
Yes, there is still a plan in motion, the plan of Dr Shabibi and this is why they want to oust Ali al-Alaq so much from the CBI.
Seems every week yet another article bashing the great work of the CBI and Ali al-Alaq’s efforts.
He knows the plan and worked in the CBI alongside Dr Shabibi.
When I heard he came back as governor I saluted him as I know he is going to help facilitate what we are looking for and not prevent it.
So, today, like you, I sit and wait for the re-education phase to begin.
My CBI contact is on the committee in the CBI to facilitate these events and the phases they must take to get where they want to get – back on FOREX and trading the dinar once again.
If you are trying to figure this process out just remember – “first things first”.
We cannot go to the bank until the rate is back on FOREX.
The rate is not just going to magically appear on FOREX one day without us first hearing about these other events taking place.
There is a sequence to the process they MUST go through to get to FOREX.
It is now almost all about stabilizing the dinar against the dollar inside Iraq.
Just as I said that politics do interfere with the progress of the RV as politicians blackmail Iraq and have been blackmailing Iraq for a very long time.
It is not until these entities are neutralized that we will finally see the RV followed by the Reinstatement.
Al-Sudani to RT: Iraq is looking forward to joining the BRICS group
Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani said that his country is ready to join the BRICS group, if it receives an invitation from the founding countries.
Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani said in a special statement to RT during a dialogue session with representatives of the Iraqi community in Russia that Iraq understands the role played by the group and is aware of the conditions and specifications for joining it.
Al-Sudani indicated that he discussed with Russian President Vladimir Putin a wide range of economic issues, including the

He stressed that he was grateful for Russia's principled position on the Palestinian issue, noting that he discussed this issue with President Putin in depth and out of concern for the lives of civilians.
Al-Sudani revealed that Iraq is in the process of studying a project to open an Iraqi cultural center in the Russian capital, Moscow, based on the deep historical relations that bind the two countries, which will reach its eightieth anniversary next year since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Moscow and Baghdad. link
A LEADER IN THE FRAMEWORK: THE STRATEGIC AGREEMENT WITH WASHINGTON WILL BE CANCELED IMMEDIATELY AFTER ITS DIRECT INTERVENTION IN PALESTINE
The leader of the coordination framework, Jabbar Odeh, confirmed on Tuesday that the cooperation agreement with Washington will be dropped immediately if it intervenes directly in supporting the Zionist entity.
Odeh told Al-Maalouma, saying, “What is happening in the Gaza Strip now can be described as a genocide of a revolutionary people who resist the occupation with determination and resolve. The Palestinian people are still offering dozens of martyrs every minute in the face of the deadly machines supported by the West.”
He added: “The security agreement with Washington will be canceled immediately if it directly supports the Zionist entity and sends soldiers to confront the Palestinian resistance. We will not remain idle if the use of American bases in Ain al-Assad or Harir to send weapons to the Zionist entity is confirmed.”
He stressed that “what is happening in the Gaza Strip now represents a revolution against the occupier, and Operation Al-Aqsa Flood demonstrates once again that the choice of resistance is the one that expresses the will of the Palestinian people, and that the forces of normalization will be pushed into the trash can of the region’s history along with its Arab rulers and others.”
It is noteworthy that the Gaza Strip is witnessing violent bombardment by Zionist occupation aircraft, resulting in the death of hundreds of martyrs during the past three days.
(Please tell me now that politics has nothing to do with the RV….. of course it does.)
