The US Treasury requests Iraqi cooperation to limit funding for armed factions
Shafaq News/ The US Treasury Department suggested, on Wednesday, that it would obtain assistance from the Iraqi government in identifying and disrupting the financing of Iranian-backed armed groups in the country, especially after the killing of three American soldiers, as a result of a drone attack launched by an Iraqi faction.
In news translated by Shafaq News Agency, Reuters quoted a Treasury Ministry official as saying, “The Iraqi government must share information about such groups, especially after the killing of American soldiers in a drone strike.”
He added, “We are now in a situation where there has been a loss of American lives in Jordan.”
The official added, “These, as a whole, are groups that use and abuse Iraq and its financial systems and structure in order to perpetuate these actions,” adding, “We must address this directly.”
He continued: “It is clear that our expectations at the Treasury Department are that there is more that we can do together to exchange information and determine how these militias operate in Iraq.”
The official noted, “In just 12 to 13 months, we in the Treasury Department have witnessed a tremendous amount of Iraqi progress in the areas of preventing the dollar from reaching armed groups loyal to Iran.”
He added, “We are not trying to achieve perfection. This is a difficult area, and Iran is very good at this in particular,” stressing his confidence in “successfully making Iraq meet international standards for money laundering and terrorist financing, and this will lead to the removal of a large amount of unsupported financial capacity.” legitimacy of this system.

[Georgia Bank Story FOLLOWUP from 1-30-2024 below]
BANK VISITOR: Today I went to a bank called Truist in Georgia...I asked [the financial advisor] you mind if I get a minute...I'd like to ask you a few questions?
She said Yeah...I said I've been banking with this bank a long time...Have you heard of the Iraqi dinar?
She got quiet... She said, well I know there are things happening in Iraq...yes...I can't really tell you anything but if you want to ask me some question I'll be more than happy to answer...
FRANK: Bingo!
BANK VISITOR: ...Are you guys going to be exchanging the Iraq dinar?
She said, well we will not be exchanging the Iraqi dinar but we will take it and send it off for you to have it exchanged.

BANK VISITOR: I said, I don't know I want that to happen without knowing who that might be and she said, I can't tell you but I can answer your questions. I said, well is Chase Bank part of that?
She said, yes.
I said, What about Bank of America...?
She said yes...
FRANK: The answers she's given you IMO are spot on...Did you ask her if they're going to have a fee to exchange?
BANK VISITOR: Yeah...I said, if I was to exchange here what is the fee you would charge me...?
She said...from my understanding there will not be a fee for people especially of a certain caliber.
FRANK: Bingo!
BANK VISITOR: She said, but we can discuss that more at an appropriate time...probably not too far in the future..
BANK VISITOR: The following day Saturday I got a phone call from Truist [Bank]...a wealth manager...She set up an appointment this Thursday to meet with me...The funny thing about this Frank is this account is a petty cash account. I don't keep any money in this account.
FRANK: But they know you will soon.
BANK VISITOR: My wife said that's not a coincidence. You go and speak to somebody and it's a petty cash account... Why would a wealth manager be calling you?
FRANK: It's obvious they are getting ready for you...
[Stay tuned for the follow up of his Thursday appointment.]
Al-Alaq: We deny issuing decisions to punish a number of Iraqi banks, with the exception of Al-Huda Bank, 31 JAN
Al-Alaq: We deny issuing decisions to punish a number of Iraqi banks, with the exception of Al-Huda Bank
The Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, confirmed today, Wednesday, the adoption of a series of decisions aimed at preventing a number of banks and companies from obtaining the dollar, as a result of non-compliance with local and international requirements, while explaining that these measures come within the framework of efforts to enhance compliance with anti-money laundering rules.
Al-Alaq indicated, in an interview with the official agency, followed by NRT Arabia, that there is a difference between including a bank on the sanctions list by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and depriving a bank of dealing in dollars, stressing that this is not a punishment as much as it is an incentive to investigate… Commitment to international standards.
He explained that the concerned banks can correct their conditions to comply with the requirements, and that there is a committee that issues dozens of decisions weekly related to issues of compliance and combating money laundering, stressing that the Central Bank conducts continuous reviews and issues decisions to deprive some banks for reasons related to compliance with instructions and rules.
Regarding reports about US sanctions, Al-Alaq denied the news that spoke of the issuance of decisions by the US Treasury to punish a number of Iraqi banks, explaining that the reports currently relate to Al-Huda Bank and the Chairman of its Board of Directors.
Al-Alaq concluded by stressing that the Central Bank seeks to regulate the external transfer operations of banks, indicating that non-compliant banks will be deprived of obtaining the dollar until they adhere to the standards and achieve the safety of external transfer operations.

THAT AS IT UNFOLDS BEFORE US – I’M SURE EVEN FOR THE WIDEST AWAKE MIGHT IN SOME OF IT’S UNFOLDING TAKE SOME OF OUR “BREATHS AWAY” IT REALLY COULD BE SO MAGNIFICENT IN IT’S GLORY THAT YOU ARE SHEER WONDERMENT AS TO SOMETHING SO PERFECT COULD EVER POSSIBLY EXIST? AND YET THERE IT IS AND YOUR EYES ARE FULLY WITNESSING EVERY MINUSCULE DETAIL. WHAT WE LEARN IN THE COMING WEEKS, MONTHS AND YEARS – IS GOING TO MAKE UP A THOUSAND FOLD – FOR WHAT WE WERE NOT TOLD – THIS WILL BE THE TRUTH AND THE WHOLE TRUTH – AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT OUR LITTLE ONES, WILL NOW HAVE –
THE FULL KNOWLEDGE AND WHOLE TRUTH – THAT SADLY WE DIDN’T WHEN YOUNG TO THEN ARMED AND READY TO GO FORTH INTO THE WORLD. WHAT A MASSIVE AND OVERRIDING ADVANTAGE THAT IS GOING TO BE FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW “THAT TRUTH WILL SET US FREE” AND THAT FREEDOM IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS LONG FOUGHT BATTLE HAS BEEN ALL ABOUT –
WE ALSO KNOW THAT ALL THAT GLORY GOES TO OUR CREATOR FATHER AND JESUS AND THEIR ANGELS – I KNOW SOME OF YOU (NOT ALL) WILL BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT MANY OF THESE FOREWORDS HAVE NOT BEEN WRITTEN PER SE BY ME – BUT THROUGH ME – THERE ARE WORDS AND THOUGHTS WE ALL HEAR – WHICH WE KNOW ARE NOT OUR OWN AS SUCH, BUT IF THEY ARE COMING FROM THAT TRUSTED HEART SPACE WITHIN ALL OF US – THAT’S THAT TINY VOICE THAT WE NOW MORE THAN EVER NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO – WE ARE GOING TO NEED GUIDANCE AND THAT’S FROM THE PART OF US THAT KNOWS ALREADY THE TRUTH FROM THE LIES. LET’S SEE OUR FATHER’S WORDS ON TRUTH AND LIES –
1 John 3:18
“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth”
James 1:18
“He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.”
John 8:32
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Bruce again saying before praying in the call – that he’s again excited for where we are now – for the intel he has to bring to us tonight. Bruce saying we are in at a Junction Point, and we are about to step into a New Future – New Life – New Blessing and can we release what might be holding us back from the past, because these things no longer serve us. Yes We Can.
INTEL ONLY
***WHERE ARE WE NOW***
I did figure out when we didn’t get notified today which I expected about noon – didn’t happen and thought why not? But we are in a very good space and what is coming and this is what made me think of the timing. I get intel everyday – some days more than others you just never know and we’d heard over the weekend that the R&R is supposed to start February 1 – 7th for the older folks 61 /62 and up as a lump sum payment, first week of February.
The increase in SS hasn’t happened yet – we did get a small one in January – but we now hear that will happen in February but we understand the increase will not exceed $4,900+ which is huge. And the lump sum payments for seniors and it will be substantial, will be big even if your 70 – so R&R starts at 42 – 61 and I’m sure that might be divided further and when it comes to that group – would come monthly over 10-15 year period and you’d have to sign a document to continue working and if you don’t have a job to get a job to get that R&R.
So they are going to receive that monthly. The younger you are the longer the payout is – so they may sub-divide that larger group. That takes care of R&R – so that is supposed to go to the bank account to the one you usually do by Direct Deposit. Not too sure of the details – you might have to give them some details. We will have to see how long SS lasts – but I’m not going there.
