"RV UPDATE" BY MARKZ, 22 OCT

 MarkZ 

  [via PDK]  There are some interesting articles from Iraq. “Teachers in Iraqi Kurdistan strike over delayed salaries”

  This is all part of the HCL stuff and the money that is supposed to be flowing to the Kurdish region.

 They have a urgent need to get this thing done so they can meet their obligations and take care of their people. This new government over there does care about their people and they are working hard to fix things…

There is still lots of chatter out of Iraq…there is a huge project that is underway right now as they look to fix their housing crisis. “Bismayah New City”  This is part of the national housing program …massive new city about 10 miles north of Baghdad. Huge project and they have already broken ground. 

Where is this money coming from ? How are they planning the potential 600,000 population city with houses, high rises, entertainment…you name it? 

It’s clear Iraq is planning for prosperity. They are going to need a new exchange rate to justify this city…imo.

   In Iraq:  “Barzoni and the CBI Governor discuss economic cooperation” 

 It was great to see this article come out today. This is a feel good article on how much has been accomplished. I am also getting reports from a finance ministry contact in Iraq that things are exceptionally good right now between Barzoni and the government of Iraq. So this is fantastic.

Al-Sudani, Macron call for immediate ceasefire in Gaza

Shafaq News / Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire, the opening of humanitarian corridors for aid delivery to the besieged residents of Gaza, and concerted action to prevent further escalation.

The Iraqi Prime Minister's office, in a statement, confirmed that Al-Sudani received a phone call from President Macron, focusing on the rapid developments in the region and the grave incidents unfolding in the occupied Palestinian territories due to the continued assaults by Zionist occupation authorities on civilians in the Gaza Strip. The conversation underscored the importance of ongoing efforts to find swift resolutions to the ongoing crisis.

Both leaders highlighted the serious repercussions of the ongoing events on regional and international peace and security. They agreed to continue communication and joint efforts to secure an immediate ceasefire, contain the conflict, and work towards comprehensive and just solutions.

Al-Sudani stressed that the crisis did not begin on October 7th of this year but is deeply rooted, spanning decades of non-compliance with international laws and legitimacy by the occupation authorities. These authorities have subjected an entire population to unjust imprisonment, creating a profound sense of oppression and injustice within Palestine and beyond.

President Macron emphasized the necessity of serious action to prevent the conflict from spreading and shield civilians from the consequences of further escalation.

Both leaders agreed on the imperative to secure an immediate ceasefire, open humanitarian corridors for aid delivery to the besieged residents of Gaza, prevent further escalation, and halt the humanitarian suffering in Gaza.

"IRAQ BOOTS ON THE GROUND REPORT" BY FIREFLY, 22 OCT

 Frank26 (KTFA)

The goal is to get to 1 to 1 for what reason?  To add purchasing power.  There is the key, to add purchasing power to the currency of Iraq.  I didn’t say the Iraqi citizens are going to get rich.  I said to add purchasing power to buy good and services with their currency…

FIREFLY: There’s a restaurant coming into Iraq.  It’s called Johnny Rockets. It’s a burger join.

FRANK: I told you the whole world is pouring in…When you stop and think about it, those places that are coming into your country, they’re either stupid or they know exactly what the monetary reform is about to do for them and you Iraqi citizens…

Question:
“Many years ago Dr. Shabibi said the dinar would be able to support it up to $16. Would that still be true for the RI?”

No, it’s far past that but it would be illogical to come out at $16 or $28 or whatever. You need that margin for the float.   You don’t need it to show off.  That’s what Kuwait did and they realized their mistake…The next day they brought it back down very quickly.  It gave a window for sharks and whales…and they made massive amount of money.  Obviously it was done on purpose.  And obviously the IMF doesn’t allow that to happen again.
