The government said on Sunday that the House of Representatives’ vote to amend the budget law according to the text approved by the Council of Ministers confirms the “political stability” and the state of understanding that characterizes this stage, and also reflects the high cooperation between the government and the House of Representatives, calling for action in accordance with it by Kurdistan and the Ministry of Oil.
Government spokesman Bassem Al-Awadi said that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani “expresses his appreciation for the responsible and constructive step taken by the Council of Representatives, by approving the amendment to the Federal General Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq for the fiscal years 2023-2024-2025, Law (13 of 2023), in accordance with the text of the amendment received from the Council of Ministers.”
Al-Awadi added, “On this occasion, Al-Sudani extends his thanks to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the First Deputy Chairman of today’s session, the Second Deputy Chairman, and the heads of the parliamentary blocs, for their understanding and support of the government’s vision, which has continued to implement its program according to the priorities previously approved by the people’s representatives, which meet the aspirations of our Iraqi people in all parts of our country.”
He continued, “Voting on the amendment according to the text approved by the Council of Ministers confirms the political stability and the state of understanding that characterizes this stage, and also reflects the high cooperation between the government and the House of Representatives to continue working together, in order to continue the momentum of the wheel of development, reconstruction and reform, which has started and will not stop, God willing, as the government continues to work to confront problems and challenges with a sense of responsibility and based on the supreme interests of Iraq.”
According to Al-Awadi, Al-Sudani called on both the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq, with its specialized institutions, and the Federal Ministry of Oil, to “immediately begin and work on this amendment, in order to optimally invest our natural resources, especially oil wealth, and let this wealth be a factor in supporting stability, and a motive for further implementation of plans and programs that meet the needs of our people.”

UN: IT’S TIME FOR ALL IRAQIS TO BENEFIT FROM THEIR COUNTRY’S WEALTH, 5 FEB
UN: IT’S TIME FOR ALL IRAQIS TO BENEFIT FROM THEIR COUNTRY’S WEALTH
The Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Iraq, Mohammed Al-Hassan, said on Friday that Iraq is approaching an important constitutional entitlement, which is the elections, expressing his confidence in the ability of the Iraqi people to exercise their constitutional right peacefully and responsibly, stressing that the time has come for all citizens of the country, regardless of their affiliations, to enjoy its benefits, far from sectarian and exclusionary projects.
The message at the United Nations is a clear message: stability and security in Iraq.
Iraq is for everyone and it is a homeland that embraces everyone.
The soil of Iraq rejects sectarian, factional and exclusionary projects.
We at the United Nations believe that such sectarian and factional projects have no future in this country. We have confidence in the awareness of the Iraqi citizen and his ability to distinguish between the good and the bad.
Today, the Iraqi citizen is yearning for more careful leaders, leaders whose concern is not to market political projects as much as it is to present projects that improve the living conditions of Iraqis in all governorates. Projects that provide security and a decent life for all Iraqis. The education, transportation, roads, health, electricity and other sectors need development.
The Iraqi citizen is looking forward to seeing tangible efforts in various sectors.
What we have seen in the past few years is something honorable and heartwarming.
Iraq is approaching an important constitutional entitlement, namely the elections, and we have confidence in the ability of the Iraqi people to distinguish and exercise their constitutional right peacefully and responsibly, by choosing the leaders in whom they see what fulfills their aspirations and hopes, far from sectarianism and far from exclusionary projects.
It is time for the people of this country, regardless of their affiliations, to all enjoy the blessings of this country. The future of Iraq is a trust, sectarian projects and fear-mongering from the past and the future are over. We wish this country all the best and prosperity and all that is good and beneficial for this country and the people of this ancient country.
MNT GOAT: LATEST UPDATE FROM MY CONVERSATION WITH MY CBI CONTACT, 5 FEB
MNT GOAT
Having reviewed all this news for today, I need to conclude with last Wednesday’s 01/29 conversation with my CBI contact:
I will tell you what I was told. You may or may not like it but it is what it is.
My contact told me that there is a “reset” underway. She was definite to define what “reset” meant. As I progress through this conversation you will see more of what she meant.
The reset can’t be stopped, she said. It began when president Trump first took office in 2017 but was slowed down due to the election fraud and the “soft” coupe against the government of the United States. The reset process t now continues but at an accelerated pace during Trump’s second term as president. She firmly believes this RV will not happen until the U.S. Treasury approves it to let it go.
She is still on the committee to coordinate the Project to Delete the Zeros, however has been given another assignment in the meantime.
She explained the reset is NOT just about ending corruption but to have the end result to reset the financial and the economic basis in many countries, especially the US and the UK.
Oh…now I can see why the U.S. and Great Britian all of a sudden are making aggressive moves to invest in projects in Iraq. It all made sense to me now. It will make more sense to you too as you read on and continue….
This procedure of reset would mean restructuring the financial system in the US much like they did in Iraq. She told me as we can already see the progress is underway and will continue. At some point they will turn on the Iraqi dinar and use it to infuse investment capital into the U.S. system. First, however other goals of the Trump administration must coincide as part of the reset process. These goals are to cut expenses, eliminate wasteful and corrupt spending.
They must balance the budget. Then they are going to go after the taxes and find alternative ways to fund the governments and take the burden off of the average citizens. The US is also going to pay down the debt but she was uncertain how this would happen. I mentioned Elon Musk and she said many Iraqis follow the US news media and so she knew all about him.
This was interesting as I can already see the undertones of all of these efforts now underway in the US.
When the US is ready, this infusion of money will go to the citizens and not borrowed the money from the Feds (the banking cartel).
It is the citizens, through the legitimate banking system, who will finance these large-scale projects. I can only imagine the government plans to have some sort of programs at the banks in this regard for us investors to take part in. We will see what is offered.
Also, a very important part of the conversation is that she emphasized with me is that this investment money is also meant to help Iraq, as much of this investment money will recycle back into Iraq as investment money.
She does not now know at what point the US has to reach to reach. One point I do want to make is I can already see a change from the stagnate Obama/Biden era policies of corruption on Iraq. At least know we have some more positive news, I thought.
She then told me she would keep me informed of the latest news as this process is taking place. I was actually amazed at this plan but not shocked. I did see something like this coming. It is actually a brilliant plan.
