The Iraqi Parliament calls for confronting US sanctions and selling oil for anything other than the dollar
In an effort to counteract US sanctions on Iraqi banks, the Finance Committee of the Iraqi House of Representatives advocated on Wednesday for the sale of Iraqi oil in a currency other than the US dollar.
In a statement obtained by the Parliamentary Finance Committee, it was stated that “imposing sanctions on Iraqi banks would To undermine and obstruct the steps taken by the Central Bank to stabilize the dollar exchange rate and reduce the selling gap between the official and parallel rates.” The US Treasury is still using the pretext of money laundering to impose its sanctions against Iraqi banks, which calls for a national stance that puts an end to these arbitrary decisions.
The committee affirmed its call for the government and Central Bank of Iraq to act quickly to diversify our cash reserves from foreign currencies and declared, “its rejection of these practices, due to their repercussions and consequences on the livelihood of our citizens.”
The committee suggested forcing the Ministry of Oil to accept foreign currency for the sale of Iraqi oil.
In addition to Fly Baghdad Airlines, the United States of America has already placed sanctions on a number of Iraqis connected to armed groups.
Hamad Al-Moussawi, the owner of Al-Huda Bank, was also subject to sanctions.
How the Act of 1871 and International Bankers Silently Transitioned America from a Constitutional Republic into a Commercial Corporate Entity
Buried deep within the annals of American history, there lies a narrative seldom explored in the classrooms of our nation’s schools or the pages of mainstream historical discourse.
It is a tale that, if known, could fundamentally alter our understanding of the governance and legal foundation upon which the United States operates today.
Every Fourth of July, Americans celebrate their independence with great pomp and patriotism, believing in the freedom and liberty that the Founders fought for. Yet, unbeknownst to the vast majority, the freedoms we cherish and the government we trust to uphold them may not be as secure or as sovereign as we are led to believe.
This narrative revolves around a pivotal yet largely overlooked moment in history—the enactment of the Act of 1871, which established a corporate entity known as the “United States,” distinct from the original Constitutional Republic founded as “The United States of America.”
This act, passed under circumstances of financial desperation and political maneuvering, marked a departure from the principles enshrined by the Founding Fathers and set the stage for a profound transformation in the American political and legal landscape.
Why does this matter?
Every Fourth of July, Americans celebrate their independence with great pomp and patriotism, believing in the freedom and liberty that the Founders fought for. Yet, unbeknownst to the vast majority, the freedoms we cherish and the government we trust to uphold them may not be as secure or as sovereign as we are led to believe.
The distinction between the “United States of America” as a Republic and the “United States” as a corporate entity is not just a matter of semantics; it is a fundamental shift in the nature of governance and the rights of the citizenry.
This article seeks to peel back the layers of history to reveal a forgotten chapter that explains how and why the original Constitutional Republic known as The United States of America has been overshadowed by a corporate, legal construct.
We will delve into the backstory involving international bankers, the role they played in this transformation, and the implications it has for the freedoms and governance of the American people.
By understanding the events surrounding the Act of 1871, the motivations behind its passage, and its subsequent impact on American life, we can gain a clearer insight into the challenges facing our nation’s founding principles today.
Critically, this transition was not merely a legal technicality; it signified a shift towards a system where the federal government assumed greater control over the newly created category of federal citizens.
This hidden history is not merely an academic exercise; it is a quest for truth and understanding. Not just for Americans, but for all of humanity that seeks sovereign individuality.
It is a call to reexamine the foundations upon which our laws and institutions are built and to question the narratives that have been passed down through generations.
We must remember that the real history is far more complex and intriguing than the simplified versions we have been taught.
It is time to uncover why the original Constitutional Republic called The United States of America no longer exists in the form it was intended, and why this matters for every American today.
The Act of 1871: The Beginning of the End of American Self-Governance
At the heart of this exploration is the pivotal year of 1871, a time of profound transformation that redefined the United States’ legal and financial landscape.
This period, situated just after the Civil War, marks a crucial juncture in American history, a moment when the nation found itself grappling with the immense burdens of war debts and the daunting task of reconstruction.
It was against this backdrop of financial desperation and national vulnerability that the Act of 1871 was enacted, laying the groundwork for a seismic shift in the nation’s governance structure.
The post-Civil War era was marked by significant economic pressures and the looming influence of international bankers, notably the Rothschilds of London.
The Civil War, while primarily a battle over the moral and economic fissures created by slavery, also served as a stage for less visible but equally significant conflicts.
Among these were the strategic maneuvers by international banking interests, notably European financiers, who sought to extend their influence over the burgeoning American economy.
The war had left the United States in a precarious financial state, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, and it was under these dire circumstances that Congress was compelled to act.
The legislation known as the Act of 1871, officially titled “An Act To Provide a Government for the District of Columbia,” was ostensibly passed to create a more efficient governance structure for the nation’s capital. However, the implications of this act were far-reaching, establishing a separate municipal government for the District of Columbia, a federal territory not exceeding ten square miles.
This act was not merely administrative; it represented a fundamental change in the nature of American governance.
The underlying motives for the Act of 1871 were complex. Financially drained and seeking to avoid direct borrowing from international bankers, who were already tightening their grip on global economies, the U.S. government found itself in a quandary.
The act was a strategic response to these pressures, facilitating the creation of a municipal corporation that would operate under a different set of rules than the original constitutional framework.
This new entity, known as the “United States” in a corporate sense, marked a departure from the Republic established by the Founding Fathers.
Critically, this transition was not merely a legal technicality; it signified a shift towards a system where the federal government assumed greater control over the newly created category of federal citizens.
This was not merely an administrative decision; it was a strategic move that laid the groundwork for the creation of a corporate entity known as the “United States.”
These citizens, now subject to the municipal laws of the District of Columbia, found themselves entangled in a web of statutes and regulations that diverged from the freedoms promised by the original Constitution.
The Act of 1871 thus laid the foundation for a dual system of governance, where the principles of the Republic and the dictates of a corporate entity coexisted in an uneasy balance.
The consequences of the Act of 1871 extend beyond the legal realm, touching upon the very identity of the American nation and its citizens. By redefining the framework of governance, the act facilitated a subtle yet profound realignment of power, placing the United States on a path that diverged from its founding ideals. This historical juncture, though often overlooked, is essential for understanding the contemporary challenges and debates surrounding freedom, sovereignty, and governance in the United States.
The Transformation from Republic to Corporate Entity
The United States of America, conceived as a beacon of freedom and democracy, underwent a profound transformation that is neither widely acknowledged nor understood.
This metamorphosis from a Constitutional Republic to a corporate entity was catalyzed by the Act of 1871, a critical yet often overlooked moment in American history.
This act, ostensibly designed to provide a government for the District of Columbia, effectively redefined the very fabric of the nation’s governance and its relationship with its citizens.
The Role of the Act of 1871
The Act of 1871 was passed during a period of vulnerability for the United States, following the devastation of the Civil War.
The nation found itself weakened, financially depleted, and in need of a mechanism to restore its coffers without succumbing to the influence of international bankers. It was within this context that Congress, under its constitutional authority, established a separate municipal government for the District of Columbia.
This was not merely an administrative decision; it was a strategic move that laid the groundwork for the creation of a corporate entity known as the “United States.”
Enter the Rothschilds: Economic Pressures and Foreign Bankster Influence
The post-Civil War era was marked by significant economic pressures and the looming influence of international bankers, notably the Rothschilds of London.
These financial powerhouses sought to extend their reach into the recovering American economy. The United States government, in an attempt to maintain sovereignty and avoid direct borrowing, issued Greenbacks – creating America’s first, official fiat currency.
However, this move was insufficient to fully alleviate the financial strain.
The Act of 1871 represented a compromise of sorts, a way to restructure the nation’s financial system without directly engaging with these international entities.
From Republic to Corporate Governance
This pivotal act signified a departure from the original Constitutional framework envisioned by the Founding Fathers. The creation of a municipal corporation for the District of Columbia introduced a new layer of governance, one that operated under a different set of rules and principles than those of the Republic.
This new government form was not merely a municipal entity; it was a corporate body that held sway over the District of Columbia, and by extension, had implications for the governance of the entire nation.
The Impact on American Freedoms
The transformation from a Republic to a corporate entity had far-reaching implications for the concept of freedom in America. The liberties and rights guaranteed under the original Constitution were gradually supplanted by a system of statutory laws and regulations that favored corporate interests.
The sovereignty of the individual and the state was undermined, replaced by a legal framework that prioritized the interests of the newly established corporate entity.

US strikes on IRGC, Iran-backed militias to ‘continue:’ Biden
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The United States will “continue” to carry out strikes against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran-backed militias in Iraq and Syria in retaliation to the killing of American soldiers and drone strikes on US bases in the region, President Joe Biden said on Saturday. “This afternoon, at my direction, U.S. military forces struck targets at facilities in Iraq and Syria that the IRGC and affiliated militias use to attack U.S. forces,” Biden said in a statement. “Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing,” he added. A large-scale American retaliation campaign was launchedon Friday against IRGC-Quds Force and affiliated militia groups in Iraq and Syria, striking more than 85 targets with over 125 precision munitions, according to the US Central Command (CENTCOM). 1 The strikes were ordered in retaliation to the deaths of three US soldiers in a drone strike carried out by pro-Iran militias on a US military base in Jordan last Sunday.
“Let all those who might seek to do us harm know this: If you harm an American, we will respond,” Biden stressed.
Numerous facilities including “command and control operations centers, intelligence centers, rockets, and missiles, and unmanned vehicle storages” were struck, CENTCOM said. Iraq condemned the US strikes as “a violation of Iraqi sovereignty and an undermining of the efforts of the Iraqi government” at a time when the government and hardline Iraqi politicians are seeking to expel forces of the US-led coalition from the country. “The cities of Qaim and the Iraqi border areas are subjected to American airstrikes,” said Major General Yehia Rasool, military spokesperson for Iraq’s prime minister, who called the strikes “a threat that will drag Iraq and the region into unforeseen circumstances.” US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin called the strikes “the start of our response,” saying that Biden “has directed additional actions to hold the IRGC and affiliated militias accountable for their attacks on U.S. and Coalition forces.”
“These [attacks] will unfold at times and places of our choosing,” Austin stated.
American troops and bases in Iraq and Syria have come under about 140 rocket and drone attacks since mid-October by Iranian-backed Iraqi militia groups condemning Washington’s support for Israel in its war against the Gaza Strip, according to the latest tally from the Pentagon. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a network of shadow Iraqi militia groups affiliated with the IRGC, has claimed responsibility for most of the attacks on US interests in Iraq and Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a Britain-based war monitor, said that 18 pro-Iran militiamen were killed in Syria’s eastern Deir ez-Zor province, near the Iraqi border, by suspected American strikes.
Around 2,500 American troops in Iraq and 900 in Syria are leading an international coalition through Operation Inherent Resolve that has assisted Kurdish, Iraqi, and local Syrian forces in the fight against the Islamic State (ISIS), which once held swathes of land in Iraq and Syria but was declared territorially defeated in 2019.
[via PDK] ...rumors...from every corner of the “blogisphere” …they are saying the CBI has released rates to the government of Iraq and Iraq has released those to all the central banks in the world including the US…and that everything is locked and loaded. That is the chatter.
“My Iraqi contacts have said that the CBI has sent the new rates to the government. So the rumor is the CBI has released the rates to the Iraqi government. Now- when will they pull the trigger? I have heard similar things from US bankers- that all rates are now set and fixed. So imo it’s “any moment.” A number of contacts are still remaining silent because they have signed an NDA.”

“ The US Treasury requests Iraqi cooperation to limit funding for armed factions” This is all part of what’s going on as Iraq cleans up. And yesterday - again in Iraq - they started openly talking about the exchange rate and the value of the dinar.
Comment: I hear more and more groups are under NDA’s. MarkZ: We are hearing of more and more… My banking contacts still feel If we have to sign one - it will be about the amount we get...we are definitely close.
International community should play role in protecting Kurdistan Region security, says PM Barzani
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The international community should play an important role in protecting the security of the Kurdistan Region and its constitutional rights, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani told the Norwegian ambassador.
The remarks by Prime Minister Barzani came as he received Espen Lindbæck, the Norwegian Ambassador to Iraq and Jordan, in Erbil on Wednesday.
Barzani and Lindbæck discussed the bilateral ties and the latest developments in Iraq and the region.
The premier expressed his appreciation for Norwegian solidarity and support, stressing the international community should play an important role in protecting the Kurdistan Region’s security and guaranteeing its constitutional rights.
Norway-Kurdistan Region relations have been characterized by strong economic cooperation and political support. With Norway's significant investments in the Kurdistan Region's oil and gas sector, both regions have benefited from mutually beneficial trade partnerships.
Furthermore, Norway has been a vocal advocate for the Kurdistan Region's political aspirations, providing diplomatic support and fostering dialogue between the region and the international community.
The Norwegian oil company DNO on Dec. 19, 2023, said it had increased production from its licensed Tawke field in the Kurdistan Region, with its current December average approaching 90,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd).
