Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – …we are looking at the security in the GOI and the CBI. Now the CBI security and the GOI security is being groomed and is being developed but not only at a pace but at a production very, very shocking…These guys are doing it. Abadi is delivering the ball to so many different departments in the GOI and in the CBI…bringing security to the GOI and the CBI in MANY FACETS! We have the security, IMO with the cities that we need. Why do want Mosul so badly…There’s no international company that will invest in Iraq with ISIS…The process to reach the revalue-ization of their currency will speed up very fast once they tell you about Mosul. IMO, Iraq has a time frame…you have to look at this timeframe IMO, in its entirety. You cannot separate. See how everything is connected? Everything is coming together at one…IMO. [post 3 of 3]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …They are talking about lifting restrictions. Those restrictions have to do with the value of the currency. So it’s not technical or any laws that need to be passed or anything like that because there isn’t any restrictions on the currency. You can trade as much as you want. Banks can inner-exchange as much as they want. There are no restrictions. I bought my currency from Chase Bank. Chase bought it from Bank of America. Bank of America has a seat on the auction floor and bought it from the CBI on floor in Iraq. So this is a code word. For the first time since I’ve been in this investment…it is a true code where they want to add value and that’s going to help move the Iraqi dinar around the planet. Specifically the reason the CBI wants Citi Bank to be part of that (they want all the banks)…what are they after? Supply times velocity. The same good ole fashioned formula that the US uses to maintain and dominate the globe with…hallelujah [Post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________
Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – The auctions, the MCPs [Multi Currency Policy] and the T&Ts [Taxes & Tariffs]…They all have to happen at once. IMO…have to be done instantly together…or the MR [Monetary Reform] will fail. They all have to be stopped at once or they all have to hold their breath at once at least for three (3) days. (smile)…and anything else and anything less than that is an indicator that they are about to raise their value of their currency within that timeframe. …the loans…well the loans maybe they made the loans with a different rate. IMO, inside of Iraq, 1:1, and we told you about the bridge of three (3) days that will actually be driven, the market will get it for those three days. It will drive it, and when outside of Iraq finally given to us, I don’t think it’s going to be 1:1… These loans are being backed by the United States of America and trust me, we’re not stupid, we don’t want to go into any further debt.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …They want to get rid of some of the restrictions that is stopping the Iraqi dinar to not be [from being] traded globally…”let’s make it easier”. It is great news and the language is fantastic! …Bank of America is buying dinars off the auction floor. Are they selling it to you and me? No. Ask them if they sell dinar and they’ll tell you “no…you don’t want to get into that stuff.” But they are still buying it from the auction floor and Chase is still buying it from Bank of America. That’s where I bought my dinars when they used to actually sell dinar. Are they selling it to the public now? no. But they are still buying it from Bank of America. Do you see the pattern here? It’s not very hard to follow…It’s a very important currency…there is a lot of money being spent. A lot of US Treasury being spent to help maintain a structure so the Iraqi dinar can gain true value and that is another thing people miss…We see things that most people don’t see and it’s designed not to be seen. [Post 1 of 2]

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – Obviously, we all want to know what this LOI says…the wording of the LOI. …we all know…that there’s an agreement. The agreement has been met half way in the sense that the IMF kept their part. it is now become “their” plan and that plan is in an LOI that has been given to the IMF from all representation of Iraq. This is HUGE and this is what we are waiting for. …this country is surrounding itself with many things that are needed for the International World to accept them. Are you ready to lift the value of your currency? …We’ll give you Article 8, that’s the only thing that’s left that’s keeping you away from the international world. [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Millionday (Dinar Guru) – Quote: “…with Iraq ‘s openness to the world and within the efforts to double the non – oil fiscal imports, comes an urgent need to develop the Iraqi ports of the importance of its strategic as a link between the continents of the world point. He called advisory in industrial development and investment Amer Jeweler to expedite the completion of the port great Faw utmost importance in supporting the country’s economy…” THAT MEANS THAT THE ORDERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO HURRY UP AND GET THE PORT OF FAW READY WITH CUSTOMS AND ALL NEEDED FOR IMPORTS BECAUSE IRAQ IS OPENING TO WORLD TRADE AND IT IS NEEDED TO BRING IN ALL IMPORTS AND TAKE OUT MADE IN IRAQ AS WELL. THINGS ARE MOVING SO FAST THAT I THINK YOU WILL BE SHOCKED AT HOW MANY OF US WILL BE LOADED WITH NEWS IN THE NEXT WEEKS…

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) – Article quote: “…a review of laws that have affected the performance of banks and activating insurers pointing at the same time that business trends misconceptions contributed to the migration of the Iraqi capital out of the country and the state ‘s economic and political appropriate targets for the return of the money put through specialized institutions” it is interesting this article should come up today where it speaks of the laws and the process of creating the right conditions for growth. [Guru] BondLady has said this whole process is like the spokes on a wheel and as each spoke is added it strengthens the wheel. if we look at the laws as the spokes, each time they pass one it makes everything stronger. part of the problem is that some of laws require other laws to be passed as well, for instance the tariff law needs the support of product protection etc… so yes they pass laws like the AML but as we saw the other day it too needed additional laws to support it…and the wheel gets stronger everyday.

mike (Dinar Guru) – While I remain hopeful that Parliament is going to get over themselves and get to work for the people of Iraq, I’ll believe it when I see it. It’s abundantly clear that they’re not afraid of the protesters, they’ve broken into both the PM’s office and Parliament itself and still these guys won’t cooperate. The first thing we need is the Federal Courts decision on whether or not Jabouri is still the Speaker of the House and then we’ll need Abadi to cobble together some kind of coalition to get the reforms through. That’s not going to be an easy task even if they somehow manage to remove ISIL from Fallujah. Doing that should give Abadi enough credibility to gather the necessary MP’s to push through all the legislation that’s needed to move the country forward. Your move Iraq.

rcookie (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Kurdistan: ready for a new oil deal with Baghdad against the billion dollars a month” SO…KURDS ON BOARD FOR NEW OIL DEAL…WHERBY GOI GIVES THEM 1 BILLION AND THEY AGREE TO RAMP PRODUCTION AND PROCESS THROUGH BAGHDAD….ALL FOR A MEASLY 1 BILLION PER MONTH…UNDERSTAND WITHOUT THE UST AND CBI AND INT’L AGENCIES AUDITING…MONITORING…PRODUCTION RECORDS… BANK RECORDS…THIS WOULD NOT BE A CONSIDERATION. THEY HAVE COOKED THE BOOKS AND PRODUCTION FOR YEARS…THE CBI BEING THERE WITH ALL OF THOSE AGENCIES CREATES A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TRANSPARENT LANDSCAPE!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – While all of these activities are going on…you have the taxes and the tariffs at the borders that are being set up. They used to collect them manually but…it’s not going to be manual anymore. And that’s why the World Trade Organization (WTO) is asking Iraq, “will you guys join us?” And the reason why is because that they got the coding a long time ago and they are about to implement it in the taxes and tariffs at their borders. Now the software to reveal this encoding of every item that is going to be taxed…is only going to increase their revenues of the country…Not only in shipping imports but exports as well. They set up an E-Government system and electronic taxes…all of this with the software that will give them the encoding that will allow them to become World Trade Organization members? Hmmm…I guess the timing to join them is exactly right because an LOI [Letter of Intent]…This is a very sophisticated system and not for no program rate. The IMF has a LOI of what Iraq wants to do and the evidence of this agreement is all over the place.
______________________________________________________________
Backdoc (Dinar Guru) – WHO CO-SIGNED ON THE IMF LOANS? RIGHT! THE U.S.! SO WHATEVER AFFECTS THE U.S. AFFECTS IRAQ! WAS IT A SURPRISE TO YOU THAT IRAQ MOVED THE TARIFFS FROM THE 15TH TO THE 25TH? WILL THE IMF FOLLOW THROUGH WITH, “ALL WILL BE DONE BY MID YEAR”? WITH NO OTHER WORD, AND WITH MANY POINTS OF GLOBAL PROGRESS, WE HAVE TO BE ENCOURAGED.
______________________________________________________________
wmawhite (Dinar Guru) – IMO, Iraq is now engaged within the global Economy markets. In fact…This article is more evidence that Iraq (the CBI, GOI, and its’ banks) have entered the global economy markets. Quote: “…Director General of the Trade Bank of Iraq, Faisal Sam Alheims with Conception Flannery, Managing Director of the Office of Citibank in Iraq examine how which will develop and strengthen banking relations and financial exchanges between Citibank and the Trade Bank of Iraq, as well as lifting the barriers that stand in the way of traffic and movement of money Iraqi around the world).” If Iraq was not part of the global economy markets, why would one of the world’s leading banks, Citibank, being discussing with the Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI) about now to…“develop and strengthen banking relations and financial exchanges between Citibank and the Trade Bank of Iraq”…and… “lifting the barriers that stand in the way of traffic and movement of money Iraqi around the world).” This is Citibank…which I believe is aligned with the TBI…The trade Bank of Iraq which is the CBI’s arm that reaches outside of Iraq.

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) – Article quote: “the Iraqi Kurds are ready to conclude an agreement with the federal government in Baghdad on increasing oil exports, if guaranteed them a monthly income of one billion dollars.” the Kurds are saying give us a billion dollars each month…that is close to 17% of the budget…their share of the federal budget which they are entitled too and if they can be assured they get their monthly payment then they will pump more oil through Baghdad and they will agree to a new oil agreement. this has great potential and sets the stage for passing the HCL! and if they can pass the HCL it will totally change the landscape in Iraq. it will unite the country and the people will benefit too…it will bring in more international oil companies and regular companies too with a renewed confidence in Iraq! they have to show the world they are worthy and the HCL will certainly further that along…and protect contracts etc…

SIGR Report Recap (Flashback)…
THIS REPORT WAS SENT TO CONGRESS LAST MAY (it appears to be from May of 2012). IT PLAINLY SHOWS IN THIS REPORT THEY EXPECTED THE DINAR TO REVALUE AT AROUND A DOLLAR IN 2013.
We are seeing and hearing that the inflation rate is still climbing and they are pushing to get us our money?? This screen shot is from page 84 of the massive SIGR report.
BGG ~This is a screen shot from the “Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction” – May 2014, quarterly report to Congress. For members of our Government to say they have no idea what is going on here – means they haven’t read some very basic documents presented them.
__________________________________________________
I point out this is a highly speculative investment. We are, in no way, guaranteed anything. However, this SIGR report gives us some valuable insights…
1) This is information given to the US CONGRESS on a quarterly basis (up until the end of July 2012 – the end of their mission in Iraq) … I find it hard to believe such a source would intentionally mislead Congress. They tend to frown on such behavior. Which goes directly to the validity of this adventure – no matter what Wells Fargo or other such naysayers gripe about.
2) It points out there having been a legitimate “plan” – or time frame in motion…having been projected to be done in 2013. We are obviously in “over time” now.
3) It gives us an idea as to who is in charge…the CoM – or Council of Ministers. Who do they answer to?? Maliki (during that era – Abadi now). Period. Historically – Maliki was a “weak Dinar” policy advocate.
4) Though no guarantee of the actual future plan they wind up engaging – this report points out an increase in value that would have taken the Dinar from “one-tenth of a cent” to a value “of slightly less than $1″…

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Article “Iraqi trade talks with Citibank to develop relations” Quote: “…lifting the barriers that stand in the way of traffic and movement of money Iraqi around the world).” [They are talking about an internationally convertible currency.] For sure the right words, but Iraq has work to do with compliance. Convertibility is coming once the IMF and the CBI work out the transition to Article VIII.

Mountainman (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Iraqi trade talks with Citibank to develop relations” Quote: “…(the meeting between the two sides is part of the bank’s policy of developing relations with major international banks and financial institutions around the world…” AWESOME…No MORE Stopping and Starting…IRAQ is MOVING FORWARD…(NOT) Backwards…TIMING is KEY…and INTERNATIONAL BELLS are RINGING…The WEDDING is NEAR and The DANCING in the Streets Are Speaking Loudly..

The Exchange Rate of Foreign Currency in Economic Feasibility Studies
Below are the central controls related to the exchange rate of the foreign currency to convert the project inputs and outputs from foreign currency to its equivalent in the local currency, and that is by calculating the net discounted present value standard and the internal return on investments in economic analysis that governs investment projects that costs excess one million dinars.
Estimate the shadow price of foreign currency:
1. It is necessary to put central controls to amend the official exchange rate * to reflect the shadow price of the foreign currency, and that is considered one of the necessary requirements to implement the net discounted present value standard and the internal return rate on investment in the economic calculation stated in the instructions, paragraph nine….

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – …they did a lot of things in this process in order to become known internationally…Isn’t it amazing? Congratulations! In fact…the World Trade Organization (WTO), which is an international organization comes out and says, “Hey guys…when you get the true rate, and you get those taxes on the borders, and you get everything all set…this is going to be good. And in fact, we want you to join us.” [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________
Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – …the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, tells countries what to do with their currency…They can increase their currency, decrease their currency, print new currency, print new plates, whatever the case is, the IMF is involved with that, globally, internationally. “Iraq sent a message to the IMF on the 15 of May confirming their “agreement” to the conditions and the mechanisms and the framework for the physical policy”…that’s financial…” for the fiscal policy and presented it to the IMF board at the end of June.” …this is not even the end of June. Do you see how far ahead of schedule they are? There is just a lot of evidence of the fact that they…are following the steps of the IMF to lead themselves into the international world the way the IMF promised them in the first half of 2016…and here we are… [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) – Article quote: “the Finance Committee followed up the subject of money laundering through the achievement of money laundering of 2015 law “, noting that ” follow – money laundering focus of Money Laundering Office, a competent central point…” so the committee did it’s part now it’s up to the CBI to implement it and they are!
