Going on over 10 years now, I have taken my own time to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to be doing this. I do it out of charity and love with understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. So, I try to help out. But remember I too am very busy in my daily life too. I am no different, yet I take the time out each day to complete the task of research and composing my newsletter for you. This Newsletter will not survive without your ongoing support. There are more than 20,000 followers and readers on my blog. Why do the same handful only help out? Do the rest not want or care about the news I bring?

I feel we have been in a critical period of the currency reform program since January of last year 2023. Now we are in a “vital” period.  Like a game of chess, we are now in a waiting mode for the Central Bank to make their next move and rollout the second-rate change in-country to just over a dollar, that we were told is coming. Since they told us they now control the parallel “black” market, and that negotiations were successful in lifting sanctions on many Iraqi banks.

If you have gifted already, as I can see many have recently…. a heart-felt Thank YOU! 

Malachi 3:10

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

STATUS OF THE RV

WOW! Do you believe it we are nearing the end of April soon. Colleges are preparing for final exams already and soon students will enter the summer job market for work. We are now ramping up for the main season of our guest Haus. What will this summer bring us? We are hoping for more tourism in the southern Bavaria area than we have seen since Covid hit. We wait to see.

What will the month of May bring us investors in the Iraq dinar?

Al-Iqtisad News just told us and I quote from the article – “The visit of the Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, to America is very positive, but so far the results of what was agreed upon in Washington have not appeared.”

Why do we have to ask?

Then later in the article we find out a couple issues that may be holding up or may hold up, the progress of the next step in the currency reform. I quote again from the article – “It is hoped that the Central Bank of Iraq will announce the measures that were agreed upon in Washington, which could have a positive impact on the exchange rate,” pointing out that “the real problem of exchange rates has not yet been solved, which is dealing in trade with banned countries.”

Yes, the real problem has not yet been solved. What is the real problem that appears that could have a positive impact on the exchange rate? The article refers to dealing in trade with banned countries. These are sanctioned middle eastern countries mostly if not exclusively. It does make reference to Iran as I quote from the article – “discussions held by the Central Bank of Iraq, with the US Treasury regarding the sanctions imposed on Iraqi banks or even the issue of financial transfers to Iran,” it also makes reference to the energy field too. Could this be the Oil and Gas Law (or referendum) the Iraqi constitution mandates? I believe it is. I still contend that this law is required. We will see. But the good news is the Iraqi speaker of parliament has been reinstated and they told us they will not be ending this current session until certain laws are addressed.

We also know that the Iranian gas sold to Iraq is a US issue but they have granted a waiver again for five more years over the Iranian sanctions. Then we read of an article telling us that The Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced the signing of a contract with the Ukrainian company “Yukrzm Resources” to develop the gas crutch field for Iraq. It was pointed out that “the ministry aims, through the contract with the Ukrainian company, to reach an average of (100) mqmqm for the first stage of (1-2) years, and (400) maqqm within (4) years. This effort could meet or maybe finally exceed the recent 5 year sanction waiver by the US to buy gas from Iran. If you remember this gas is mainly to power the new electricity generators for the Iraqi grid, destroyed by the 2003 war. So these agreements had to get in place too.

Remember also that this step in natural gas production represents an important step towards gas investment, especially in the western region of Iraq because of the large gas reserves that this region holds. The first step is to work to invest this gas production optimally, to supplement the national networkwith new gas energy and also for future revenues that contributes to supporting the energy sector in Iraq and enhances national production. Yes, this gas production in the near future could yet another huge source of Iraqi revenues rivaling again the oil revenues. I expect to see large contracts with the EU for this gas in the coming short term.

More recent very good news….

The Minister of Commerce and Chairman of the National Committee concerned with Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization, Atheer Daoud Salman Al-Ghurairi and I quote from the article – “announced the completion of the files for the initial offer of goods and services within the files for joining the organization”. No, they did not yet announce Iraq’s full accession to the WTO but his is certainly getting close.

Then the article goes on to say ““this important step comes in the context of the Iraqi government’s efforts and its program aimed at promoting international trade and achieving sustainable development, which reflects its commitment to ensuring global economic integration and expanding economic partnerships.”

After reading this about the WTO accession step just completed, can you see how this is also integrated with the news in the first article we reviewed? It is all about the mulla $$$ and the money making potential for trade but most importantly for us investors is the ability for Iraq to openly trade and use foreign currencies freely, including the currencies of their trading partners.

So for Iraq’s accession process it appears yet another huge step is about to take place. I quote from the today’s article – “The National Committee, the technical committees emanating from it, and the accession team in the ministry were able, within a short period, to complete these files and submit them to the organization in preparation for holding the third meeting of the working group on Iraq during the current year, 16 years after the date of the second meeting of the group in 2008.”

So, in 2024, I assume sometime soon, the National Committee will hold its third meeting with Iraq on the accession review. Remember also that the Sadie Arabia is sponsoring Iraq for the WTO and we recently also learned the US is now onboard too. With the US now backing Iraq this should move along quickly now. So does Iraq need a viable currency to trade? Of course they do and they already have it with the 3 zero notes. There is no requirement stated anywhere that they need anything else. However, having said this let me add I sincerely do not believe for one second that they are going to join the WTO with these notes as their currency. First, they will have to be reinstated on FOREX just before or after their full accession. Why?

Iraq will need a global currency for global trade. WTO is global trade organization and partnership. It has a process We are not just talking about just middle eastern trading partners anymore when we refer to the WTO. We are now talking BIG TIME, about massive trade, manufacturing plants and warehouses with Iraq from the US, China and the EU. Why do you think they are building the rail line from the shipping ports and inward into Saudi and Turkey? Why do you think they are now pushing the Strategic Framework Agreement so much with the US? Why is Iraq taking on the “Silk Road Project”. Oh… call it what you want but it’s the same. The WTO will enhance Iraq’s integration into the multilateral global trading system.”

Also, in today’s news the European Union Ambassador to Iraq, Thomas Seiler, welcomed the Iraqi government’s signing of the Singapore Mediation Agreement. This is considered a milestone for resolving commercial disputes trade, and I am pleased that the technical support provided by the European Union to anti-corruption and international arbitration efforts has been important and effective. Why are they signing this agreement? It is because they are lining up for some massive trade with the EU and the EU will want this mediation agreement. Folks this is all tied too what is coming next and its massive business for Iraq thus massive revenues. Iraq alone is ripe with new customers, never mind the rest of the middle east. Folks, it may seem hard to believe now that peace and prosperity will come to all of the middle east and that time is not far off. Remember president Trumps mantra – Peace through Prosperity not War. But first we must overcome these entities bent on constant war and them lying to us and justifying it with “humanitarian” sympathies. Folks, just so you know these are the same wicked people who orchestrate and start these wars, and then later want you to support them for “humanitarian reasons”. It is all a game. Trump wants to end this game and use these national treasured to grow and prosper our sovereign nations.

So , as intelligent investors we must stop looking at the WTO as just another target, thinking that Iraq needs a rate to join and so…… Instead why don’t you educate yourself and pay attention the entire stream of activity interconnected with trade with Iraq and then why the WTO membership then becomes so important for them. Then how it will drive the currency reform as a “byproduct” and not the other way around. Get it? Does this make any sense to you now?

What else is in the current news….

Qusay said {to Al-Furat News} told us and I quote – “The current policy of the Central Bank of Iraq goes towards auditing the cash dollar, which was marred by many failures in the first periods, especially its leakage through travelers to the irregular market, and this issue needs a new and clear mechanism.” Then it goes on to add “It is assumed that travelers are dealt with through tourism and airline companies, and the travel ticket is not allowed to be canceled unless the traveler returns the amount he purchased from the exchange outlets or banks.”

Folks, if you care to remember, I told you a year ago that the only way to solve this dollar crisis with travelers selling their dollars to the black market at an increased rate (called racketeering) is to put the money on a debit card. These cards can only be used to get cash out of them at the “official CBI rate”. Why won’t they do this? It has also been mentioned by many economic scholars too inside Iraq. Is some corruption going on here that needs to be addressed?

I don’t want to fill you minds with false hope or over speculate but come’on folks…. we can clearly now see something BIG is about to happen to these currencies. I would compare this to our choo choo train speeding down the track. The destination is the reinstatement but remember to reach it, the train must first make a couple stops along the way. Many of these stops already occurred as we get closer and closer to our destination. Another one of these stops is the Washington DC trip. The next stop is the in-country rate if all goes well that we should expect shortly after Al-Sudani’s return from Washinton DC. We then know the rest of the process and what happens next…. And all the other stops 😊 We can almost see the finish line as the train is about to come around the bend. Please, please no more derailments!

We must now buckle down and pray and pray like never before for the success of Al-Sudani and his trip to Washington. Pray for the U.S. in that there are strong enough representatives in 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.

Their words not mine…..No Rumors, No Hype, No Opinions ,,,,,

Just the FACTS!

We have now entered a new period in 2024. It is shaking the very foundation of all the corrupt leaders and non-elected officials. We are now feeling the shift, says the Lord our God. A very different period than 2023. This is the period of justice. But where is the justice do far? The courts will be shaken and those who brought this plan to destroy our nations will be dealt with. With spring comes new life to our nations and then in Summer we will see the Lord’s vengeance and the earth will speak out to us, as it too feels our pain.

THE CORRUPTION IS SO WIDE IN US POLITICS. HOW DO YOU FIX IT?

World War III? Is this four years of the Biden administration really a military operation / 4 year sting operation to fix the corruption in the US government? You might want to expand your thinking and listen to what Derek Johnson has to say. Is this true? He can help you decide by yet more of the evidence he presents. But you decide, I don’t want to push anything on you….lol.. lol.. lol..

Heck, look at how they can’t even impeach a crooked cabinet member (Mayorkas) in the Senate and hold his mandated trial for someone who is blatantly disobeying long standing immigration laws. Then to make it worse he lied about it in Congressional hearings on the subject matter. Shouldn’t he be held in contempt of Congress? Shouldn’t something be done to this guy?

HOUSE PASSES 95B FOREIGN AID PKG

Oh…wait a second! Didn’t they say no more aid unless they had full transparency as to where the money is going? Why such a change? What happened? Let this one shake out. We will find out sooner than later. The margin of majority is so slim in the house right now only by 1. They don’t dare lose it by taking the risk of voting to replace speaker Johnson.

SENATE DEMOCRATS ENTERING ‘WITNESS PROTECTION’ IN ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS IMPEACHMENT

_________________________________________

IS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DELIBERATELY DISMANTLING & BANKRUPTING AMERICA?

All you need to do is go read the UN Agenda 21, 30 and now 50 documents and you can see this is their goals, only they needed the US politician puppets to go along with it and implement it. This is now what we are seeing in 2022-2024 with Joe Biden as they are 4 years behind since President Trump set them back by four years in accomplishing their sinister goals. Sinister you ask? Go read these documents then match up to what we are seeing take place in our country. Is is way beyond bizarre. But this UN and WEF push to change the world and control it is slowly breaking apart. We must keep the pressure on them and not let them destroy our great country.

UPDATE ON BIDEN IMPEACHMENT

After watching the fiasco of what took place in the senate a week ago with the Mayorkas impeachment, do you really think the can get the needed votes to impeach Biden, even if they were allowed to hold a senate trial for him too? Think! Think! Think! Could this be why God through his prophets, are telling us he will fall another way. God never mentions any impeachment of Biden. Get it? I have reviewed these prophecies with you many times already. It’s almost May, just 6 months before elections, so if these prophecies are going to materialize it will have to be soon.

ISRAEL GAZA CONFLICT UPDATE:

COULD THE IRSAEL / HAMAS WAR FINALLY BE OVER AFTER 7 MONTHS OF FIGHTING?

The answer is NO! These are just catchy captions to get you to click on their channel. Also to get you to sympathize with Hamas over Israel. So, let’s hear the truth.

WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN THE UKRAINE?

After three years we need to take a step back and ask ourselves again what is really going on in Ukraine. I how that after listening to Derek Johnson’s interview on Elijah Streams that you have a different perspective of what is really going on and why Americans are being lied to.

WILL THE AGREEMENTS SIGNED WITH THE US TREASURY REFLECT POSITIVELY ON THE EXCHANGE RATES?

Today, Thursday, economic expert Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani stated the possibility of Iraqi getting a green light to contract with Iranian companies that are not sanctioned by the United States, while anticipating the impact of the Central Bank’s agreement with the US Treasury on exchange rates.

Al-Mashhadani said, in an interview with Al-Iqtisad News, “The visit of the Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, to America is very positive, but so far the results of what was agreed upon in Washington have not appeared.”

He added: “It is hoped that the Central Bank of Iraq will announce the measures that were agreed upon in Washington, which could have a positive impact on the exchange rate,” pointing out that “the real problem of exchange rates has not yet been solved, which is dealing in trade with banned countries.”

The economic expert explained, “The economic aspect was the main focus of Sudanese’s visit to Washington, and it became clear through the meetings and discussions held by the Central Bank of Iraq, with the US Treasury regarding the sanctions imposed on Iraqi banks or even the issue of financial transfers to Iran, in addition to the required investments, which “It is possible to sign in the energy field.”

He stressed, “Iraq got the other light by contracting with unsanctioned Iranian companies, which allowed the Ministry of Electricity to sign a contract to recover Iranian gas for a period of five years, at a time when the government is heading to end this file after 3 years, according to what was announced.”

SALEH: SUDANESE’S VISIT TO WASHINGTON IS AN “IMPORTANT TRANSITION” ON THE ECONOMIC AND INVESTMENT LEVELS

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad, considered Al-Sudani’s visit to the United States of America an “important transition” in the level of economic and investment relations between the two countries.

Saleh told Al-Sabah: “This visit encouraged major technology companies in America to take on their vital role in the fields of reconstruction and building productive economic partnerships with the activities of the branches of the national economy, especially the private sector.”

He added, “This visit is in the interest of strengthening thefabric of bilateral relations between the two countries, the starting point and objective basis of which remains the strategic framework agreement signed between Iraq and America since 2008,” noting that it is “a basic introduction to activating the investment climate and paths of economic cooperation in vital and important areas, foremost of which is energy.” science and technology.”

Saleh explained that “financial and banking cooperation will form an important pillar in supporting America’s efforts to support and strengthen the financial and banking market in Iraq,” noting that “the launch of a project to protect and maintain the investment environment in our country and improve government services for foreign investors, especially the investor sector from America, represents the launch of solid official directions.” “In building strong pledges that support the stability of foreign investment activity.”

The financial advisor stated, “This trend is an indication of providing opportunities for success for the work of investors, which requires providing a smooth and easy climate free of inherited bureaucratic obstacles that in the past delayed investment activity in our country and led to adding high and exceptional burdens and costs to the accounts of investment projects, which in the literature has been called the cost of Iraq.” Which means the cost of investment risks outside global measurements. He believes that “the Prime Minister’s pledge means that the executive authority will become the direct supervisor of the work of American investors in the selected investment fields in our country.”

THE EUROPEAN UNION WELCOMES IRAQ’S APPROVAL OF THE SINGAPORE MEDIATION AGREEMENT

The European Union Ambassador to Iraq, Thomas Seiler, welcomed the Iraqi government’s signing of the Singapore Mediation Agreement.

Siler said in a tweet on the X website, “I welcome the Sudanese Prime Minister’s government’s signing of the Singapore Mediation Agreement, which is considered a milestone for resolving commercial disputes, and I am pleased that the technical support provided by the European Union to anti-corruption and international arbitration efforts has been important and effective. I call on Parliament to expedite ratification on the agreement.

He added that this decision would enhance investments and business in Iraq, and facilitate international trade. This indicates the government’s intention to make Iraq an attractive place for investments.

He stressed that the European Union remains committed to providing expertise to the government and the economy.

On April 19, 2024, the United Nations Development Program (UNPD) announced that Iraq had officially signed the Singapore Agreement on Mediation, which is an “important” step towards developing the resolution of commercial disputes in Iraq.

The Singapore Mediation Convention is a standardized and effective framework for international settlement agreements resulting from mediation, which parties conclude to resolve a commercial dispute.

The Singapore Agreement will facilitate international trade by enabling disputing parties to easily enforce and recall settlement agreements across borders. Companies will benefit from mediation as an additional option to litigation and arbitration in resolving cross-border disputes.

The Minister of Commerce and Chairman of the National Committee concerned with Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization, Atheer Daoud Salman Al-Ghurairi, announced the completion of the files for the initial offer of goods and services within the files for joining the organization.

It is worth noting that the World Trade Organization (WTO) has issued the annual report on the accession of observer countries and has praised the efforts led by the Ministry of Commerce through its presidency of the National Committee, which considered activating the process of Iraq’s accession to the organization an important step for the organization, which was welcomed and praised by the member states and that Iraq is the only Arab country whose accession process has become active and has passed advanced stages among the Arab countries that hold observer member status.

IRAQI MINISTRY OF OIL ANNOUNCED THE SIGNING OF A CONTRACT WITH THE UKRAINIAN COMPANY TO DEVELOP THE GAS CRUTCH FIELD

(I wonder if this was one of the deals made in Washington during Al- Sudani’s visit. Ukrainian company? Go figure. But remember these former satellite countries use mostly natural gas as their source of energy. I does not surprise me that Ukraine would have the high level of expertise in this field. Can Iraq even maybe export this gas some day with their surplus, yet anoher export item?)
