Here are the headlines of some of the many recent past articles. Folks these are all about banking reforms. They are just not happening as quick to meet the Strategic Plans to move ahead at the pace needed. We all know Iraq is slowwwwwww.
So, what happened. The Feds finally put their foot down and took aggressive actions and sent in the US Treasury to FORCE these reforms now, not months or years from now.

Folks, what more can I say. I can almost end this Newsletter commentary right here. But I won’t because many of you STILL DON’T GET IT! You won’t get the point of today’s Newsletter.
You have been so brainwashed by all these intel gurus that even when you see PROOF of the holdup of the RV you close your mind to it and still believe this intel from these idiotic, self-proclaimed intel gurus idiots out there. You want the rollercoaster and enjoy the ride. But let’s go on and maybe I can knock some sense into many of you follows of these other brain dead idiots.
Yes, there is great pressure from the prime minister Al-Sudani to work with the CBI in getting the Project to Delete the Zeros underway and to meet the currency reform goals, which we know is ultimately the reinstatement. But there is also political resistance to it too and pressure not to do it. This is a goal of Al-Sudani’s administration, and he will be judged on meeting this goal come election time. I do not believe that any of this pressure from political levels will stop Al-Sudani as he already announced the coming change in the currency to the people. Get it? Even the team at the CBI was already engaged to help roll out the Project to Delete the Zeros as it too already broadcasted one of their educational videos on how the exchange would work. Did you watch the video?
In light of what I just told you I do not believe this delay will be a long delay. Yes, it may take till January 2025 as who can predict. They will have to re-educate the banks on the proper international procedures, then audit them for a time to ensure they are in compliance. In fact, we read in an article today that the Central Bank has contracted with an international company (K2) for the purpose of auditing banks that have restricted access to the dollar in previous periods, so that these banks can learn how to comply with international requirements. So, the process is already underway. You can read the full article in the articles section.
According to my CBI contact, Iraq will have to get the currency auction amount down to the level to support the economy as their gauge of success. They will have to keep this level for a period, which my contact is researching now for me. I hope to get this information in my next call to Iraq.
Folks this is not rocket science. They completed their audits of the banks and they know the culprits. The US Treasury group in the CBI will be there long after the RV for a period of time. Remember that the nature of greedy people, unfortunately, will always be to try to beat the system. The “system” must be set up in a way to control these people and force them to abide by the rules. This is all this recent matter is about. Audits are controls to find those who break the rules.
Next, we must also consider that the democracy of Iraq is at stake too. Since Al-Sudani and his political party’s goals of accomplishing these reforms are at stake in fighting this corruption. Are the going to let the corrupt win and destroy Iraq? This 20 year democracy of this new Republic of Iraq is still young. Can they overcome the corrupt politicians and institute the will of the people? Seems it always comes down to this…doesn’t it?
Now, let’s take a step back to 2023. What was the main goal in 2023?
Of course, we all should remember. It was the DE-DOLLARIZATION of Iraq. Why de-dollarize? Again, I will review that this is part of the first step in the Project to Delete the Zeros. They must get the dollars out of circulation and go back to using the dinar, almost exclusively. They must flush out the stashes of currency both dinar and dollars and get it into the banks for liquidity of the banks. The gauge as to whether this effort is successful or not is the parallel market rate.
Remember also that today the dollars from the currency auction do not actually flow in the physical hands of most merchants anymore to pay their bills. The dollars now flow electronically to only approved sources for goods and to their banks of origin. The other means for obtaining dollars in Iraq is for travel. This too is now isolated to the airports where the goal is to issue the physical dollars then to watch them board the plane. This way the transfer of the dollars illegally for use on the black market can be tracked, controlled and limited. This is what was discovered in the audit process of the banks. There were still ways to slip the money through and the CBI was allowing these measures rather than cranking down on them. The excuse was given that there were ample reserves in the CBI to cover such losses. I find it hard to believe that these kinds of statements would even be openly made. But they were and you read the past articles by Saleh
So, the main problem now stems still in the currency auctions with almost still doubled the dollars sold that are needed to support the economy. Why? Where are all these excess dollars going? These dollars end up in Iran, Syria and Lebanon to circumvent US sanctions but worst yet to support the terrorist efforts, now mostly against Israel. In other words, Iraq is funding these ongoing wars in the middle east. This funding must stop. So now you know why the US Treasury is in the CBI.
Knowing what I just told you, do you actually think that the RV is going to happen tomorrow or should have happened over this past weekend or even happen next weekend? How foolish are you to believe such stupid rumors. Please, please get of the RV roller coaster and come to reality. Do I have to drill a hole in your head and pour in the TRUTH to make you believe it?
I don’t know about you but I have much more common sense than to believe all this rubbish about an RV everyday / any day. I am much smarter than that. I am going to follow the actions of the Feds and the US Treasury in Iraq and see where this takes Iraq. I am hopeful they can clean up this mess sooner than later and move on with the currency reform. I am hopeful this will all happen way before the end of 2024.
I ask everyone to consider a Mountain Goat GIFT to keep this blog going. The cell calls to Iraq are expensive and there are cost to this blog site. Many of my readers demand to know what my contact in Iraq is telling us, yet when I look at the stats I do not see that they decided to gift. Why?
Yes, we all want the news and my goal has always been to bring the TRUTH about this investment and the RV saga. But it takes time to research, translate articles from Arabic to English and then to compose the blog and post it. I do this mostly at night after hours at the Gasthaus work is done. I do all this for YOU not ME. I already know the “Status of the RV.
What can we investors do to help in the RV situation?
We must now buckle down and pray and pray like never before for the success of Al-Sudani and his agreements with Washington are implemented. You do want the RV don’t you? Pray for Iraq and also the U.S. in that there are strong enough representatives in the US Congress and the Senate who will stand up and continue to fight to uphold the US Constitution and keep fighting this Washington corruption. Pray that that God’s Hand will intervene and save our great country. Remember you can say the Rosary daily or use the prayers and links I provided from the Auxilium Christianorum for your prayers. Of course there is also your own form of prayer too. Folks your prayers so far ARE WORKING and God has heard our cries. Just look at all the progress made just since December 2022 when Iraq announced they were finally entirely out of Chapter VII. And now in 2024 the spigot is wide open the final issues preventing the reinstatement are being dealt with one by one. Can you see it too. I am trying my best to help you see it. We don’t’ need this foolishness of this speculative crap or everyday / any day garbage intel confusing us. You think this is all just coincidental? God’s Hand is at work here. He has given Iraq his anointed leader Al-Sundani to help in his work. Even I have to sit back in amazement of what he has accomplished so far. Pray for him and all his success. Let see what August brings us.
