STATUS OF THE RV. PART. 5 BY MNT GOAT, 27 FEB

 STATUS OF THE RV. PART. 5 

☹ Also in the news this period is an article titled “LEADER IN THE FRAMEWORK: AMERICA IS EXPLOITING IRAQ’S MONEY IN THE FEDERAL BANK TO UNDERMINE ITS AUTONOMY”

The leader of the Coordination Framework, Salam al-Zubaidi, confirmed today, Saturday, that the United States is exerting security and political pressure on Iraq in a number of files, including oil, and undermining its autonomy through the money it deposits in the US Federal Bank.

 Al-Zubaidi said in an interview with /Al-Maalouma/ agency, that “America is exerting pressure on Iraq politically and security-wise, while Iraq has autonomy and decisions that must be respected by everyone,” indicating that “exporting oil is an internal matter that does not concern the United States, even if the money from Iraqi exports goes to the US Federal Reserve, which undermines Iraq’s autonomy in this matter.” 

This article is referring to blackmail by the U.S. holding Iraq oil revenues in the DFI fund in NYC banks. The U.S. uses this money as leverage to get what they want even though Iraq has been fully out of Chapter VII sanctions since Dec 2022. 

Since this time this money in the DFI should have been released to Iraq and put into their sovereign fund that Saleh has talked about creating in many articles. Of course, Iraq should also be able to get off the petro-dollar for oil sales too. This was part of the sanctions, which are now released. Why won’t the US let them?

☹Then in another article we see proof of what the leader Salam al-Zubaidi, told us on Saturday, that the United States is exerting security and political pressure on Iraq in a number of files, including oil. Take a peek at another article titled “REUTERS: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION GIVES IRAQ A CHOICE BETWEEN QUICKLY RESUMING KURDISH OIL EXPORTS OR FACING SANCTIONS”The United States of America threatened, today, Friday, February 21, 2025, the federal government in Iraq with sanctions if the Kurdistan Region’s oil exports are not resumed quickly. Reuters quoted sources as saying: “The administration of President Donald Trump asked Iraq to resume (Kurdish) oil exports quickly or face sanctions alongside Iran.” Do you now see the situation in Iraq when I say its “an uphill battle” to get back their national sovereignty?  When will Iraq truly be a free nation again? I though we fought a war to free Iraq from tyranny. Did we free them from the mouth of one tiger into the mouth of another? Folks it been 20 years since the end of the war!

Can you see how many of these article are interconnected. The news is not stand alone but gives us a picture of the situation going on in Iraq. We don’t need some idiot secret contact lying to us.

😊 Yes, there is a bit of good news too today. In the article titled “THE DOLLAR DECLINES IN IRAQ.. STABILITY OR TEMPORARY CALM?” Today, Tuesday, the local Iraqi black markets witnessed a noticeable decline in the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar. The dollar breaking the 150,000 dinar barrier for the first time in months is a positive development, but it does not necessarily mean that the crisis is over

The matter remains subject to the ability of the government and the Central Bank to maintain this stability and prevent speculation that may return the dollar to its upward path again. Is this decline the beginning of an economic breakthrough, or just a temporary break before a new wave of increases? All I can add to this is I hope this trend continues but I have to also say that unless they get of the sole peg to the US dollar they will continue to suffer. Will the US support this effort now that Trump is president? Will the Trump administration have a new change in foreign policy for Iraq for the better or worse for Iraq? So, far it is leaning to the worse side….. just saying…

I encourage everyone to continue our prayers. These are the prayers that God wants to hear. He needs to know your concerns and wants to help.

DEPUTY SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT: NEW US DECISIONS MAY BE ISSUED REGARDING IRAQ, 27 FEB

 DEPUTY SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT: NEW US DECISIONS MAY BE ISSUED REGARDING IRAQ

Shakhwan Abdullah, deputy speaker of the Iraqi parliament, said on Saturday that the administration of US President Donald Trump may make new political and economic decisions regarding Iraq.

This came during his speech at a scientific conference on the present and future of Kirkuk, which was held at Soran University in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

In his speech, Abdullah explained that Kirkuk has always been the focus of conflict between the great powers due to its wealth of intellectual, mineral and natural resources. He added that its geographical location has made it face policies of Arabization and demographic change over the decades.

He stressed the need for all parties to work to restore rights to their owners in Kirkuk, with the aim of addressing the effects of previous policies that affected the city’s demographics.

Abdullah confirmed that the Iraqi parliament has reactivated the Article 140 Committee, in a move aimed at abolishing the legacy of the Baath regime and addressing the changes that have occurred in the demographic composition of the areas covered by this article.

He also referred to his recent visit to the United States of America, where he returned to Iraq this morning. He explained that during the visit, he discussed the issue of Kirkuk and the disputed areas with the US Assistant Secretary of State and the head of the religious authority in the United States, noting that the American side views these areas with great importance.

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives concluded his speech by pointing out that the new US administration may issue several political and economic decisions concerning Iraq and the United States, which has been discussed on several occasions with the federal government.


TIDBIT FROM MILITIAMAN, 27 FEB

 Militia Man  

We know Iraq's value is not based off oil alone.  Aside from the obvious natural resources, non-oil revenue streams...she has massive diversity with income streams. 

 All of which are underlying issues to get a proper valuation based on real assets and not based off sanctioned exchange rate that is not an international one.  It has been in sub-penny range for over 20 years now.  It's Iraq's time to shine...Iraq's ready for full integration into the international arena.

LEADER IN THE FRAMEWORK: AMERICA IS EXPLOITING IRAQ’S MONEY IN THE FEDERAL BANK TO UNDERMINE ITS AUTONOMY, 27 FEB

 LEADER IN THE FRAMEWORK: AMERICA IS EXPLOITING IRAQ’S MONEY IN THE FEDERAL BANK TO UNDERMINE ITS AUTONOMY

The leader of the Coordination Framework, Salam al-Zubaidi, confirmed today, Saturday, that the United States is exerting security and political pressure
on Iraq in a number of files, including oil, and undermining its autonomy through the money it deposits in the US Federal Bank.

Al-Zubaidi said in an interview with /Al-Maalouma/ agency, that “America is exerting pressure on Iraq politically and security-wise, while Iraq has autonomy and decisions that must be respected by everyone,” indicating that “exporting oil is an internal matter that does not concern the United States, even if the money from Iraqi exports goes to the US Federal Reserve, which undermines Iraq’s autonomy in this matter. ” 

He added that “re-exporting oil from the Kurdistan Region is an internal matter that concerns the federal government and the Ministry of Oil, and there are many pending files between Erbil and Baghdad in addition to the decision of an international court issued in Paris due to violations committed by the Kurdish side,” noting that “during the visit of the President of the Region, Nechirvan Barzani, to Baghdad, it was agreed to remove obstacles and eliminate crises.”

He pointed out that “the American pressure should be on the region and not on Baghdad, considering that Erbil is the one that has problems in this issue, but for Washington to come and impose decisions on Baghdad is not correct.”

It is noteworthy that international reports revealed that the United States threatened to impose sanctions on Iraq unless Baghdad allowed the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan region despite the political and technical problems in this file. 


STATUS OF THE RV. PART. 4 BY MNT GOAT, 27 FEB

 STATUS OF THE RV. PART. 4 

What else is in the news?

The Federal Ministry of Oil announced yesterday, Sunday, the completion of the necessary procedures to complete the export of oil produced in the Kurdistan Region via the Turkish port of Ceyhan, 

stressing that this step comes in accordance with the mechanisms specified in the budget law and its amendment, and within the production ceiling set for Iraq in the OPEC organization.

The Kurdistan Regional Government’s negotiating delegation responded to the Ministry of Oil’s announcement by calling on the federal government to implement its obligations before proceeding with the oil export process.

The delegation explained that despite the regional government’s confirmation of its commitment to implementing the first amendment law to the federal general budget law, which relates to re-exporting oil produced from the region’s fields to the Turkish port of Ceyhan via SOMO, 

implementing the law requires agreement on several basic points, including determining the quantities allocated for local consumption in the region, in line with actual needs, similar to the rest of Iraq,

 and establishing a clear and specific mechanism for paying the dues of production and transportation companies to the regional government, in accordance with what is stated in the law.

☹ Another article titled “PARLIAMENTARY WEALTH REVEALS WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUSPENDING THE OIL AND GAS LAW”. A Member of the Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Resources Committee, Basem Al-Gharibawi, revealed today, Sunday, who is responsible for obstructing the legislation of the Oil and Gas Law, stressing that the region’s failure to comply is delaying the legislation of the law.

 Al-Gharibawi said in a statement to / Al-Maalouma / agency, that “the political dispute between Baghdad and Erbil is obstructing the legislation of the Oil and Gas Law.

 Da….no kidding!!! I hope that every one of my readers can see how important the article in the Iraqi constitution is that specifies the referendum for the Oil and Gas Law and how screwed up things can get when the constitution is not implemented in a timely manner. 

Also we can now see why this referendum is needed prior to the reinstatement happening. I rest my case….
