Question: "Is [Firefly boots on the ground in Iraq] optimistic or frustrated?"
Both. He's optimistic because he knows what Sudani and the CBI have been telling the citizens of Iraq...Because he can go into a bank in Iraq now and ask questions and they will answer them point blank. But he's also frustrated because how much longer? We're talking about going into...January already. This thing should have happened at the beginning of the year . What's the hold up? Why are we waiting?
I don't think they're waiting for much of anything right now. They're moving fast. They're moving quickly in every aspect of the monetary reform. The next step is to show the lower denoms...new exchange rate and to allow it to float on an international platform...These are not subjects we are proposing to you, these are subjects that are in the articles themselves...

Article: "Iraq returns to the World Trade Organization 14 years after its expulsion” They didn’t finish fifteen years of work in one year to not have accession. The development road and sustainable development projects are only just beginning. Iraq as we have been noting here has been setting the stage for entering the international financial system. We are a part of and watching history in the making!! This is truly an amazing article...
Article quote: "The new role of government banking in financing foreign trade for the private sector is in accordance with approval of the International standards..." Iraq is telling you that they have the private sector in mind. They're doing it in what? In accordance with the approved international standards.Did they have that before? Obviously not. Why would they be talking about it if they did.
There's some very significant, big, big players exposed to this. We all know JP Morgan, CitiBank and others are 100% involved...See the picture of the Vice President of JP Morgan Chase doing deals with Iraq...You walk into the bank at Chase and your average guy doesn't know what we know because what we know is we study and we have the data to support and the articles that are public that present that information.

SUDANESE PARTICIPATES IN THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM IN DAVOS, SWITZERLAND
A government source reported, on Saturday, that Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani will participate in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The source told Shafaq News Agency, “Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani is participating in the World Economic Forum in the Swiss city of Davos in its fifty-fourth edition, which will begin its work on the fifteenth of this January.”
This year’s edition of Davos carries the slogan “Restoring Confidence,” and will focus on the conflict in the Gaza Strip, along with issues of global concern, such as climate and artificial intelligence. The forum is supposed to witness the participation of heads of 100 governments and representatives of 1,000 international organizations.
Government spokesman Bassem Al-Awadi had confirmed earlier today, Saturday, that the Council of Ministers session would be postponed to tomorrow, Sunday, instead of Tuesday, which witnesses the holding of the Council’s regular sessions every week.
(Every mid January the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) gathers for a four-day event held in the Swiss skiing resort of Davos.
Initially founded by Professor Klaus Schwab and King Charles as the European Management Forum, the mandate of the organization has evolved into one focused on championing the “One World Government” solutions and the great global reset. It’s main goal is not really to help humanity unless any of its measures also help in the push to establish a global governance over free and sovereign nations. In a nut shell, this is what these Davos meetings are all really all about. Don’t be fooled. These meetings have been going on for decades already and so if they were all about helping mankind and its suffering, then why are we still suffering? Why hasn’t any real solutions been agreed to and put in place? Folks, it really all about Control and Power. As independent, sovereign nations we don’t have to go along with this group of individuals who think they can mold the world to their liking and ideology. Their goal is to use NARATIVES that they bring upon to push us in their their direction. And so, what is their ideology? Just listen to them speak. It is very, very scary what they propose for mankind. You can read up and get more information on the Davos meeting in the link below.)
