Shafaq News / It was announced in the United States that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will begin a new tour of the Middle East that includes Israel, and a number of countries in the region.
Blinken will leave Washington on Thursday evening, the official said, without giving details about the scheduled schedule and terminals for this flight.
US diplomatic envoy Amos Hoxtein, he said, would also travel to Israel to work to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.
Regional tensions increased with the assassination of Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri in an airstrike targeting him in the southern suburb of Beirut, on Tuesday evening.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah warned that “what happened in the southern suburb is a great and serious crime and it will not remain unanswered or punished,” adding: “And between us and you the square, days and nights.”
Here's one way they can do it. They can do what's called a re-denomination... You got 3-zeros and then you've got a re-denomination which is another set of currency which is what many call the smalls. You've got a 25,000 note and then you've got a 25 note...The key...a re-denomination occurs when there is an exchange in currency but there is no value change.
No value change - that is what a re-denomination is [LOP]. What can happen is you get the larges, you exchange them for smalls, they're given a certain time frame, say 10 to 20 days and in that 10 to 20 days they change prices in their markets...and then sometime between 10-20 days they jump on Forex and it goes International...That is one way they can do it...
People are asking are they international? Are they gonna go international? ...They have two currencies trading in dinar...pegged to the dinar...They are already operating internationally in a controlled environment...It's not going to shock the market when they go on Forex and peg to six different currencies. They're already doing that now. The roll out has already begun. The markets are already accepting them. The markets are warming up for them to go on Forex officially. They are already doing what we want them to do on a small controlled scale...They've proven that they can do it.
Question: "Do you believe in redemption centers?" I have not been able to confirm that redemption centers exist. But just because I haven't been able to confirm it doesn't mean they don't exist.
Here's the the thing, a country doesn't claim its independence hoping that one day they become independent. Nope, they claim their independence when they are independent.
They are no longer waiting for their independence. I'm talking about banking reform, economic reform, military, geopolitical, every level. They're not waiting to be independent, they are waiting for the day to celebrate their independence. Independence is upon them now.
It is who they are. That dinar is about to be independent and travel the world like a free little bird and baby I cannot wait to celebrate! It has been too long.
When the UST Secretary Rosenberg was here a couple weeks ago, the day after she left, auctions changed...and there were changes after the UN meetings. There have been tons of changes because things have been signed off.
Sunday, Alaq makes an official announcement... there's going to be massive important shifts in external transfer mechanism and it says this came after an agreement between the CBI and the US Federal Bank. What they're saying is at the end of the year, January 1, the Central Bank of Iraq's auctions will be completely different. They will be run like all the other international central banks of the world. That's what will happen January 1. That's an announcement.
US official: US strike targeted Iraqi militia commander responsible for attacks against our forces, 5 JAN
Shafaq News/ His country has launched an air strike against a “militia” commander responsible for attacks against U.S. forces, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.
“The U.S. military carried out a strike in Baghdad against a leader of an Iraqi faction believed to be responsible for attacks on U.S. forces,” the official was quoted by Reuters as saying.
For its part, the Washington Post quoted a U.S. defense official as saying that “U.S. forces and coalition forces in the region have been subjected to about 115 attacks since October 17.”
The Baghdad Belt Operations Command called the Popular Mobilization in a statement “Leader Abu Taqwa al-Saidi following a brutal American aggression.”
Earlier in the day, a source in the Iraqi police said that the military official of the “Al-Nujaba” movement, called “Abu Taqwa”, one of his companions, was killed by an aerial bombardment targeting the headquarters of the crowd east of Baghdad.
Earlier in the day, an official security source said that an unknown airstrike with a manner aircraft targeted a popular crowd headquarters east of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
3-LETTER GUYS ARE INFORMING THAT THE "ISSUE" STOPPING THE RV HAS BEEN RESOLVED...
[via Babysmom] ..."EFFECTIVE 1/1/24 (BUT STARTED ALREADY) DEALERS (USA) CAN ONLY SELL YOU $1,000 WORTH OF DINAR PER 24 HOUR DAY. THAT'S NOT EVEN 1 MILLION DINAR TODAY."
[via Babysmom] ..."BANKERS CAN SEE RATES..."NOW" EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE TO WAIT ON FOREX TO OPEN FOR THIS WEEK...WOOOOO HOOOOOO"
US BANKS HAVE THE RATES, SAID THEY WERE WAITING FOR FOREX TO LOAD BEFORE THEY CAN START ...THEY "THOUGHT" IT WOULD BE AT OPENING ON SUNDAY EVENING, BUT NOT YET. FEDERAL RESERVE IS SENDING ALL STAFF IN TOMORROW NIGHT TO OBSERVE THE "TRANSACTION".
.. .I DO "BELIEVE" THAT IT HAS BEGUN!! RATES DID CHANGE IN IRAQ LAST WEEK...MAYBE AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND?
WAITING TO HEAR FROM SOME FOLKS WHO WERE EXCITED LAST NIGHT AND WERE LOOKING TO SEE SOMETHING (BEHIND THE SCENES) THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT...TIME WILL TELL
The expected RV is now scheduled. Good news. This morning Iraq citizens were told in the next couple days. Sudani told ppl the rate is going to change in the next couple of days. I also go this from Tish she was watching in Iraqi tv. The RV was supposed to occur last nightThurs. 14 Dec.
Supposedly, the reason it didn’t is the U.N. filed a motion to take over the entire process. The judge denied the U.N. motion. It didn’t make any sense b/c the IMF already released it to the counties. Every country has money, reserved currency, and is waiting to go live. Our window of time is 4:30pm Eastern Fri. 15 evening until 5:00 pm Eastern Sun 17 Dec.of when this could go through. In Iraq today the Kurdistan region was told that today was the last day they can turn in three zero notes and actually get 25,000 dinar for a 25,000 note.
Sudani was telling ppl this morning in a town hall type of meeting that the rate is going to change in the next couple of days. The last day the rate changed was the 20th of December. If Iraq says today is last day, 4:30 EST is the next day Iraq time ~ a few minutes past midnight. They wanted to do it at 1:00 am eastern. This is how they want it to go down. In Iraq everyone is off Monday and Tuesday so they can go vote and the budget will be released onTuesday.All the money.
Always said they wouldn’t do that until the rate was changed. This hopefully will be our weekend. People who had bank appointments this weekend were told that there would be no fees during the exchange. If you go to the teller window, there will be fees. There is no turning back. US has released it. IMF released to each country so when it goes, they can start exchanging. The money is in place so they can operate with it. They can’t wait. Sudani saying in acouple of days.
Fri. 8 Dec. TNT: It was supposed to goThurs. night 7 Dec.Everyone was waiting on the IMF to release it. After a meeting earlier todayFri. 8 Dec,contacts said it will happen byMon. 11 Dec. Sun. 10 Dec. is Iraq’s Victory Day, so Tony thinks it might happen then.
People that have already contacted their banks are being called in to go over the procedures for the exchange, interest rates they would pay them, debit and credit cards that will be available to them, etc. Banks are acknowledging that it is happening and that they want people to choose them.
The US State Department called on the Iraqi government to hold accountable those responsible for the attacks on US forces in the country, noting that US forces are in Iraq at the request of his government.
“American forces are present at the invitation of the Iraqi government, and the Iraqi government must hold accountable the perpetrators of attacks against it, whoever they are,” U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a press statement.
“The Iraqi government should take further steps to protect U.S. forces there at its invitation,” Mather Miller added.
