Iraq's Parliamentary Defense Committee investigates PM Al-Sudani's Washington deals
Shafaq News/ On Saturday, the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee announced its plan to probe arms contracts signed by Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani during his recent visit to Washington.
Mohammed Al-Rumaithi, a committee member, told Shafaq News Agency that the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee would "scrutinize the armaments file in the Ministry of Defense. This includes contracts for purchasing warplanes, armored vehicles, tanks, and equipment to equip the Iraqi army."
"The committee will convene with the Minister of Defense, the Director of Contracts and Armaments, and senior officials from the Ministry of Defense in the coming period to discuss recently signed contracts, including those for American F-16 aircraft," Al-Rumaithi stated.
Earlier, Tahsin al-Khafaji, head of the Iraqi Security Media Cell (SMC), disclosed that Iraq had signed contracts during Prime Minister Al-Sudani's visit to the United States for acquiring 21 helicopters to "bolster the Iraqi army's capabilities."
Notably, during his Washington visit in April, Al-Sudani held discussions with the CEO of Lockheed Martin, James Taiclet.
The company responsible for manufacturing F-16 aircraft has expressed readiness to fulfill the terms of the contracts for supplying aircraft to Iraq. Al-Sudani's media office said.
The Iraqi government spokesperson Bassim Al-Awadi recently disclosed that Iraq had signed an arms deal to purchase 41 aircraft after a meeting between PM Al-Sudani and U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House.
Al-Awadi stated in a televised interview that "there will be a flexible plan to pay for some of these aircraft, while others will be provided as gifts from the United States."
"The aircraft will be delivered within a few months, and a dedicated production line will be opened for Iraq."
According to Global Fire Power, a renowned military-oriented platform, Iraq secured 4th place among Arab nations and 45th place worldwide.
Welcome, everybody to the big call tonight. It is Thursday, May 2nd and you’re listening to the big call. Thank you satellite team for connecting everybody all over the globe. I know last Tuesday we heard that that we had to call out throughout Iraq. They were your confirmation that they got it there, and were listening. So that was kind of cool. Of course, we think getting out to anywhere from 190 to 200 countries on every call with as many as 18 – 18 and a half million listeners. So we’re really thrilled about that.
And thank you for listening big call universe for being here. Sue’s here – Bob’s here – I’m here – and we’re ready to start a call. So let’s do this. Let’s all get into the attitude of prayer and let’s pray the call in.
All right, we’re in the month of May – May 2. Wow. Well, we’re here. And the good news is that I have some good news for you. What’s, what’s happening right now and of course, we’re always basing this on modified shot gun start with our tier three bond holders that have been told they were getting their emails today and have not yet received them. So they haven’t gone yet. We haven’t gone yet.
But what we are hearing as of today is – first let’s talk about Iraq – Iraq is tentatively – based on acute education we received before this morning, Eastern Time. They are tentatively going to celebrate what’s called financial inclusion – tomorrow –
Now, financial inclusion, to me sounds like they’re part of the world system again – They’re part of being a trading entity with a currency, the Iraqi dinar – that has been revalue and is about to be put out with an international rate for everybody to see –
Now remember, we have the Iraqi dinar trading on the screens for weeks now. Or what the rates have been – Are we know – we know that they’ve been – today’s bank screens and redemption center screens are showing the currencies flickering, the rates flickering on the screens.
That means they’re changing. They’re trading up or down and they’re about to be tradable for us – so tentatively tomorrow, celebration for Financial Inclusion to start in Iraq That’s good news.
Then we got some other information. – And this is about what — remember we talked last Tuesday about the idea of the global takedown.
These were arrests that were occurring. I said that should take at least two or three more days. Hopefully none. But it should not affect our start. At least that’s what I was told Tuesday.
Hopefully it does not affect our start. But what’s interesting is one of the three letter agencies that begins with C was one of the ones that they are really doing their best to clean up.
This is a cleanup like I said, and President Trump is still a commander in chief CIC is doing what President Kennedy JFK had attempted to do, but was not able to complete – Trump has taken over that and is following up on that responsibility. Still very much in the picture, and I heard I think yesterday that Arizona had overturned their election results from 2020.
(Small portion political not allowed)
The other thing I told you guys was we’re waiting for three green lights.
Green light from military, green light from the Treasury, and green light from Wells Fargo, and then the email notifications go out and we move through the exchanges. Well, I didn’t realize until yesterday – either I was not told – or it ws not clear to me – that the military gave the green light on Monday.
So we have the Military green light – that’s one down and two to go – those.
We need treasury and we need Wells. And that is boom boom. Here we go — 800 numbers received – set appointments – and then do exchange
The same person who brought that information about that timing also said in a very short text very short. All it said was five / four, which is May 4 which is Saturday – 5/4 “Be Ready” – and that was it – short and sweet. What does that tell us? I don’t know but its telling me I better be ready on Saturday — we got to be ready for something –
Maybe that is when everything is unleashed – we get the other two green lights – and these emails come out –
So that’s what I hoping – that;s what I hope it means – 5 / 4 BE READY!!
So intel looks good – from Iraq”s perspective – they are going to celebrate financial inclusion – starting tomorrow – if we’re getting action on the global takedown – on the third day of that – like that started early, very early Tuesday morning – and it’s now Thursday night. So we are in it to win it – and we’re looking good at as far as that goes. And guys, I think we are just about hopefully to hear about the start of the emails.
Oh and the other thing about the bond holders when they get those emails they will have access to 100 – 200 million dollars of their account – some of the bond holders will have way more than that – but that is their initial amount – maybe that 30 day – I don’t know how many days – but that is good news – they will have liquidity – we will have liquidity – and as I mentioned earlier, if we’re exchanging – which we are – redeeming zim – our Restitution and Reclamation allowance is to be added on top of our exchange – should be given – . Oh, by the way, here’s your R & R – They should give some explanation for it. And this is this amount. And that’s thrown on the pile and go on our total
And the same thing could be true. I understand. If you’re in prosperity and getting the prosperity package that also if you’d let them know, by the way I’m in prosperity, they should know that about you and then be able to add that amount to your total at the time of our exchange.
So that’s really everything I’ve got to give you guys tonight – there was a little piece of intel I was hoping to get during the call that did not manifest. And there’s a little bit more tonight but it is late tonight
So I’m gonna say we’ve got enough to say grace over – it is national prayer day – so let’s pray this call out – with a prayer for national prayer day for all of us . Okay.

MICA is currently giving us a digital framework by regulating current prices on the new digital economy. They are also securing our new digital economy as well as many other facets of the QFS.
It is a Government Intervention on assets across all sectors of the market. Below is a brief summary of the overall picture.
Some of our assets are overinflated while others are way undervalued such as foreign currencies in the eastern half of the world. Regulations will help level the playing field going forward.
Governments can regulate the price of assets such as fiat currencies through buying and selling actions (supply and demand) in international markets.
And, they can create regulations as we are seeing now to control excessive enthusiasm for an asset class that correlates with the cost of doing business.
Price controls keep assets from being pushed up in price through a group of people manipulating its price pressures through speculation.
The overall purpose of regulating the new digital economy will be to allow utility to drive the price through supply and demand bringing our assets into real values across every sector of the market
