Member: Happy Saturday to everyone
Member: Good morning Patriot visionaries and Dinar faithful!!! I have a feeling this is our last Saturday waiting for our blessing
MZ: We spend the first 45 minutes with the CBD gurus and then on to the news of the day.
MZ: I did finally get in touch with one of my redemption center/wealth management folks ….He was told they are not working this weekend but be in early on Monday…. They were told to enjoy the weekend because they would be working some very long hours over the next 2 weeks.
MZ: I hope that means us.
MZ: From Iraq there have been some breakthroughs…..especially on the Baghdad/Erbil issues.
MZ: “ Economist: Iraq loses one billion dinars a month due to smuggling of the region’s oil” the Erbil/Baghdad agreement would stop this.
MZ: “ Imminent agreement between Erbil and Baghdad to re-export the region’s oil and settle the salaries of the employees” looks like they are finally taking care of the “elephant in the room” and stalling us. They are expecting a agreement in the coming days.
MZ: “After the technical delegation . A political delegation from Baghdad awaits arrival in Erbil to end the outstanding files” We are expecting a busy few days in this upcoming week. To me today is a pretty exciting news day.
MZ: The last obstacles appear to be getting out of the way.
MZ; “Departments to stop taking cash in two days. Fifteen million Iraqis are without an electronic card” the government of Iraq is going cashless. From now on folks will not be able to use cash to pay for government services. In the past there was too much cash disappearing from greedy government officials. This has made a massive difference in their revenue.
MZ: This is part of the white paper reforms they wanted to get under control before they raised the value of their currency
MZ: “Iraq’s printed currency at lowest level in a year” they are down to under 100T. .
Member: Many rumors that IQD gets a new rate Monday?
Member: Monday would be sweet.
Member: The 1st is also a great day for the rate!! That is Tuesday and the first day of the third quarter.
