Al-Araji: There will be a return of gratitude to the international coalition countries that provided to Iraq
National Security Advisor Qasim Al-Araji said on Saturday that the federal government will conclude bilateral security agreements with the countries of the international coalition forces led by the United States of America as a response to what they provided to Iraq in the war against ISIS, and there will be no rift with them if they withdraw from the country. .
Al-Araji's statements came during a dialogue session on the sidelines of the sixth Baghdad International Conference, which began this morning.
Al-Araji said in his statements that drugs have become the first danger in Iraq. ISIS is present in some remote places such as mountains and caves, and the security and intelligence services have accurate information about this presence, and are targeting the organization’s leaders.
Regarding the statistics that some reports indicate that there are 5-6 thousand members of the organization in Syria and Iraq, Al-Araji said: This number is exaggerated.
He added that in 2014, we were required to bring friendly forces to help us confront ISIS, and from 2014 to 2024 our forces developed a lot and have experience in confronting organizations, and therefore the government formed from all sectors decided to re-evaluate the presence of these forces.
Al-Araji went on to say that there will be a return of the favor in the form of concluding bilateral security agreements with the countries of the international coalition, and these countries welcome this matter and there is no objection on their part.
The National Security Advisor also confirmed that the NATO coalition is in Iraq for consultation, and they are not combat forces, and international cover is there. We have not severed relations with the international coalition, and there are negotiations with them, and the Iraqi government is awaiting the results of the committees. link

"QFS CONVERSATIONS" WITH GOLDILOCKS, 24 FEB
GOLDILOCKS
On March the 6th, 2024, the CFTC is having a follow-up meeting with the Global Markets Advisory Committee.
The GMAC is a subcommittee that represents the Digital Market Financial System. This meeting is expected to be a time for them to discuss recommendations on their findings so far and move forward with the Digital Financial System.
The purpose of this meeting is to "enhance the resiliency and efficiency of global markets, including increased liquidity in U.S. Treasury markets and the upcoming transition to T+1 securities settlement."
My understanding is that instant settlements are already being worked on. It is also my understanding from conversations with developers that the move from T+1 settlements to T+0 will not take long.
As they are stating in this next meeting, they're going to discuss liquidity in the US Treasury Markets. More and more millionaires and billionaires are retrieving their funds from the stock market and moving into digital economy assets.
This move encompasses assets tokenized and supported by gold. It provides investment opportunities many of these whales are looking for to move their money.
We are witnessing a ground floor opportunity for those who decide to participate inside the new digital economy. Traders pray for such opportunities as this we are witnessing.
As we move into legislative regulations for protocols inside the crypto economy, stablecoins to pay for these tokenized assets will be coming into focus.

"RV UPDATE" BY BRUCE, 24 FEB

[via WiserNow] ...Tuesday, which is the 27th is the day that we are supposed to receive our notifications...That 27 – 28 - 29 is going to be a real interesting period for us to be notified on the afternoon of the 27 which is Tuesday, start exchanges on Wednesday, the 28th... I'm excited. I'm excited about the fact we have a really good timeline - it does get us started before the end of the month.
Prime minister of Iraq met with our President Trump for a couple of hours in an undisclosed location on Sunday afternoon and they were discussing the fact when Prime Minister, Sudani of Iraq was going to fly back to Iraq that afternoon...he was going to announce to the entire country of Iraq they were indeed a sovereign nation and had a sovereign currency - once that occurred...we would have simultaneous announcement here...
not quite sure who was going make it but was to be made to banks and to our redemption centers, and other institutions - with other officials dealing with currency exchanges... once those announcements were made, we felt like we were good to go and get ready to get started...
...we haven't started yet. But we know that we've checked with certain banks...like Chase and Wells have the dinar, for example is one of our currencies on the front screens of the banks and ...they're rising in value.
But there the last time we checked, the bank screens rates were flashing - ...when it's flashing on and off...it means that it's not quite ready...to be exchanged...So we're waiting according to the latest information that we have from redemption centers and banks, that they're waiting for the green light to come in the form of an email from Wells Fargo, corporate New York...When that email comes in to the redemption centers, they will know that it's time to go it's time to start...we're close.
