"RV UPDATE" BY KAPERONI, 2 DEC

 Kaperoni  

 Floating a national currency is intended ...to determine its price in a free market according to the forces of supply and demand.  That is what we are looking for...

 There is no overnight RV and The main reason why that could never happen is because the money supply in Iraq is too significant.  There's close to 90 trillion dinar in circulation which makes it impossible for there to be such an event

A significant increase in the value of the dinar at or equal to its face value with 90 trillion dinar in circulation would, in essence, be six times the value of the entire countries wealth..

.This is why I have stated numerous times that if and when the dinar ever was to go up in value, it would have to go up gradually over time so that the dinar money supply could be reduced. But that only could occur if Iraq's economy began to significantly prosper.

Necessitating Protection of Americans in Iraq: A Geopolitical Narrative, 2 DEC

 Necessitating Protection of Americans in Iraq: A Geopolitical Narrative

US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has urged the Prime Minister of Iraq to ensure the protection of American citizens residing in Iraq. This plea underscores the ongoing apprehensions for the safety of US nationals amidst the intricate geopolitical scenario in the region.

Unraveling the Geopolitical Tapestry

The cease-fire between Israel and Hamas has crumbled, given the adversaries’ inability to find a mutual platform for further prisoner exchanges. The situation has escalated with Hamas proposing deals for the liberation of more Palestinians from Israeli detention in exchange for hostages, including Israeli soldiers, held in Gaza.

Mr. Blinken’s return to the Middle East this week was marked by an emphasis on agreements to extend the Gaza cease-fire, expedite the release of hostages held by Hamas, and reduce Palestinian civilian casualties in case of resumed conflicts with Israel. His objectives, however, remain largely unmet with the cease-fire collapsing.

Al-Ayyam Publishing Foundation: A Media Milestone

Separately, the establishment of the Al-Ayyam Publishing Foundation is highlighted. Launched in 1989 by a group of young Bahraini media professionals, it was a landmark initiative in the Arab world with a vision of being owned and managed by its employees.

The narrative culminates in shedding light on the essence of the original content that encompasses diplomatic engagement for citizen protection, the psychological sway of imagery, and a cursory history of a prominent media establishment in the Arab region.

"RV UPDATE" BY MARKZ, 2 DEC

 MarkZ   

[via PDK]  The group chatter has been amazing as they are waiting for release of funds… sitting at the edge of their seats.   Redemption contacts who are “on call”  have not been called in…yet.  But we are stinking, painfully close…

 Yes it's Dec 1st …and yes we were hoping we would have gone by now...but the Redemption center folks will be on call this weekend. They are very hopeful for the next few days... We can feel this is so close which makes it much tougher to wait.

   Very little out of Iraq overnight. But everything coming out of Iraq this week has been overwhelmingly positive. 

I know this is tough…I know we have been sitting at the edge of our seats for entirely too long…But, it’s hard to nail down a world-wide historic, once in a millennium event…But we know its coming.
