"RV UPDATE" BY MARKZ, 20 NOV
MarkZ
[via PDK] “Iraqi Prime Minister orders a reform of the Iraqi banking sector” He goes on to address exchange rates.
“Iraqi financial expert predicts decline in dollar exchange rate.”
He expects the dinar to continue to gain strength against the US dollar. “BRICS: Iraq to ditch US dollar for imported goods” They are looking to start their own “free trade zone” for selling local goods in their own currency. With a steep discount for the goods. So by using the dinar they get a better deal on these products. This is part of de-dollarization.
In Iraq: “Iraq joins EBRD, becoming the 74th shareholder announces foreign ministry”
This is the European bank for Reconstructions and Development. This is a major worldwide organization and bank. They are not doing this for some third world country. Iraq applied to be a member in 2018. But, they waited until now to bring them on board.Does this tell you anything ?
I believe it tells us we are about to see a currency change. If they are joining an international organization they are going to need an international currency.
The big news...is “Parliament convenes Special Session as alliance nominates three successor candidates to Al-Halibousi”
The overwhelming agreement is that Halibousi has been a major roadblock especially on the 3 paragraphs of the HCL…
the Kurds and Baghdad. So they removed Al Halibousi who was wildly considered to be a roadblock and kept us from getting across the finish line with the HCL law. From my sources I feel very confident that he was the roadblock. It is very encouraging that he was removed and is being replaced. They continue to tell me they want this done by Dec. 1st. Let’s pray and hope this is accurate.

Political Dynamics in Iraq: Implications of the Dismissal of Sunni Speaker, 20 NOV
Political Dynamics in Iraq: Implications of the Dismissal of Sunni Speaker, 20 NOV
The political landscape of Iraq is experiencing a significant shift with the recent dismissal of Sunni Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Mohammed al-Halbousi. The Federal Supreme Court’s decision has stirred the established ethno-sectarian divisions that have been in place since the U.S. occupation in 2003. This system, although lacking a constitutional foundation, has become a norm, allocating the three sovereign positions – the presidency, the prime minister, and the parliament speaker – to the Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis, respectively.
Fallout from al-Halbousi’s Dismissal
The Speaker of the Parliament holds a pivotal role within the Sunni community. The dismissal of al-Halbousi has sparked competition among Sunni leaders and underlined the absence of a unified Sunni leadership. This shift in dynamics could potentially transform Iraq’s political fabric, challenging the traditional ethno-sectarian divisions.
Regional Tensions Escalate
Simultaneously, regional issues are gaining momentum, with the Israeli army launching artillery strikes on southern Lebanon in response to attacks on northern Israel. This development is further complicated by the killing of three military leaders of Hamas in Gaza by Israeli forces, hinting at escalating tensions and potential conflicts in the region.
Financial Instability in Iraq
Amidst these political developments, Iraq faces economic challenges. The Central Bank of Iraq has been implementing strategic measures to address the depreciation of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar. This collaboration with renowned institutions aims to stabilize the currency and provide economic stability in the face of political turmoil.
Historical Repercussions: The 1953 Coup in Iran
Going deeper into the region’s history, the 1953 coup in Iran continues to cast a long shadow over the geopolitical landscape, shaping dynamics and influencing international relations. The coup’s impact transcends the contemporary political scene, reminding us of the interconnectedness of past events and their lasting effects on the region.
As Iraq grapples with these complex political and economic challenges, the country’s resilience and ability to adapt will be tested. The dismissal of al-Halbousi, coupled with regional tensions and financial instability, makes for a critical juncture in Iraq’s history. The trajectory of Iraq’s future hangs in the balance, hinged on the country’s ability to navigate these tumultuous times.
"CALL THE BANK EXPERIMENT RESULTS" & " SPAIN BANK STORY" BY FRANK26, 20 NOV

[Call the bank experiment results]
Of about 300 people...half of them told me Mr. Frank, they said it's a scam. And the other half told me, Mr Frank, they told me everything and more...The experiment worked. I didn't give you a phone number for a bank...I gave you an 800 number for Chase Financial call center...
Of nearly 300 phone calls we were able to find a pattern...the names of these operators. We found the operators that were negative...Yet there were these other operators that were...educated or maybe students of the Iraqi dinar said, oh, yes you need to talk to our Wealth Management Department let me transfer you over there right away...The experiment was a success!
[Spain Bank Story]
As you know I live in Spain. Last Friday I went to the Bank of Spain branch in Barcelona. It's the Central Bank of Spain
. There are only two branches in our country...I showed the man at the counter a 50K dinar bill. The man looked at me and told me they couldn't change that bill there...but he told me the two banks that will 100% be involved in exchanging this currency is Banco Santander and BBVA. They are the two largest banks here in Spain.
They know everything. He even explained to me the process on how to do the exchange. He spent time with me, the amount of cash that I could legally withdraw etc. etc. He knew what bill it was and where it was from. Here they are paying attention to what is going on, what is going to happen in a very short time. They're not playing no games in Spain...The banks know about everything.
