STATUS OF THE RV

Today I have some VERY interesting information for my readers concerning the Project to Delete the Zeros. At the heart of this information, is a most recent article. I have to use the term ‘intent’ to describe it best. The article is titled “ECONOMIC EXPERT: IRAQI GOVERNMENT STUDYING CURRENCY CHANGE PROPOSAL TO BOOST LIQUIDITY AND STRENGTHEN THE DINAR”

So, first I have to ask why now, why NOW this article? What is the intent?

“Economic expert Haider al-Sheikh Speaking to Channel8 said Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi’s recent visit to the United States produced several economic outcomes, one of which was a proposal to overhaul Iraq’s currency as part of efforts to improve financial liquidity.”

Yes, to get these stashes of currency from the homes into the banks, to liquify them with money that they can then loan out to customers. In many past articles from the CBI they talked about these stashes of cash and how they amounted to nearly 80-90% of the monetary mass. WOW! Then in one of my Newsletters, I took a deeper dive into this issue and presented you many plans by the CBI already implemented in an attempt to bring large amounts of cash held outside the banking system back into circulation. Apparently very few of them were successful. Could this plan accomplish all the needed goals?

“Al-Sheikh plan talked about in this article is also linked the proposal to al-Zaidi’s anti-corruption “Dawn Campaign,” which has already led to the arrest of more than 40 suspects and the discovery of large quantities of cash allegedly hidden in private properties.”

So, now we have economic expert Haider al-Sheikh giving us yet more suggestions to to overhaul Iraq’s currency as part of efforts to improve financial liquidity.  

According to al-Sheikh, the proposal currently being studied includes two possible approaches.

1.The first would introduce a redesigned Iraqi currency with new banknote designs across existing denominations. Okay, so nothing new as this is also in Dr Shabibi’s plan of 2011 to issue almost all new lower denomination notes leaving only the 250, 500 and 1,000 in circulation. But wait a second. In practice you can’t do this if you only delete one zero from the notes. It no longer becomes a simply redenomination and can get complicated as you can see in my chart below.

2.The second would remove one zero from the currency as part of a redenomination process. He stressed that the proposal does not involve printing larger denominations, such as IQD 50,000 or IQD 100,000 banknotes, but instead focuses on replacing the existing currency. I do not see why he even mentioned this issue of these larger notes if he didn’t plan to use many of the existing three zero notes and issue newer notes just taking off one zero. Is this the new currency he suggests. I am showing you in the chart below what I believe these new notes would look like along with the derivation from the existing three zero notes.

3.Under his proposal, authorities would establish a limited period during which citizens could exchange existing banknotes for the new currency through government banks. Okay, so nothing new as this is also in Dr Shabibi’s plan of 2011.

4.He said unusually large exchanges would be subject to scrutiny, allowing authorities to investigate the source of the funds and identify assets linked to corruption.

Okay, so again nothing new as this is also in Dr Shabibi’s plan of 2011

Al-Sheikh said changing the currency could help increase government liquidity, stabilize the exchange market, and strengthen the Iraqi dinar against the U.S. dollar. I do not agree with him as we can see in the chart below the dinar would get a massive boost in purchasing power and this would be subject to inflationary pressures, something the CBI has always cautioned about.

I quote from the article – “Al-Sheikh noted that a separate proposal to adjust Iraq’s official exchange rate had been discussed under former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, including the possibility of setting the rate at IQD 140,000 per $100. He said that proposal is no longer being pursued, and the current government’s focus has shifted toward changing the currency itself rather than altering the exchange rate.”  

So, this is describing only an adjustment to the program rate, something the CBI has done back and forth over the years according to the effects of the parallel market not the official CBI rate. I don’t believe this is really what al-Sudani said in his speeches. If I recall his speeches under al-Sudani plan he specifically told us that the dinar would be greater than the dollar. This did not sound like what al-Sheikh is now telling us. So this statement is inaccurate.

I want to note that according to al-Sheikh, “this currency proposal remains under study and will be reviewed by the Ministerial Council for the Economy, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank of Iraq, and a joint consultative committee before being submitted to the Council of Ministers and later to Parliament if approved. He estimated that, if adopted, implementation could take approximately five to six months.”

Well, well, well that 5-6 months brings us to January 2027 doesn’t it, coincidental? Again we see the same target for a revaluation at the beginning of the fiscal year. These little tidbits are important to pick up on.

He emphasized that the proposal remains under government review and has not yet been formally approved.

I want to conclude that now we know of a plan to redenominate and why now. Let’s concentrate more on the intent than the plan as I do not believe his plan, as it stands, will be approved anyhow. However, the plan also did not mention moving back to FOREX and allowing the dinar to float on the global currency exchanges again. Does this plan include this future for the dinar too? Why did he not mention this part?

As readers of this proposal we must NOT go off halfcocked and maybe even disappointed in only deleting one zero and not all three, which we truly want. Again this effect is only for an in-country rate no matter how high it is. What we want is the FOREX revaluation.

Again, let me mention this is just another proposal, a plan by an economist. It is not coming from the CBI.

I also want to mention that within this article it mentions and I quote – “this currency proposal remains under study and will be reviewed by the Ministerial Council for the Economy, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank of Iraq, and a joint consultative committee before being submitted to the Council of Ministers and later to Parliament if approved”

Yes, this certainly does not sound to me the CBI can just RV anytime they desire, like many of these ridiculous intel gurus are telling you. So why do they persist in their nonsense? They persist because they do not actually study the dinar, do they?  So we learned once again that instead it is a joint decision to revalue or make changes to the currency and they are telling us the path as to how it must be approved.

My summary of this article is that at least the author is asking the GOI and the CBI to take a serious look at the deletion of the zeros again. But it also sounds to me like they are already doing this and is why he is even submitting his plan in the first place.

Below is a chart I composed of what the notes might look like under Al-Sheikh’s plan as he does not tell us. I am comparing his plan to Dr Shabibi’s plan of deleting three zeros. Please take a hard look at the chart.

So, once you look at the chart above, you can see that Al-Sheikh’s plan would increase the purchasing power of the dinar by a lot. But would still need some sort of significant revaluation since it would still not meet our needs as investors. I will explain this last statement better. Read on.

Let’s analyze the chart further and you can then clearly see that if you wanted to meet Dr Shabibi’s plan for the initial in-country swap of larger notes with the newer smaller denominations you must have the LEAST impact on inflation, you certainly would choose deleting three zeros over Al-Sheikh’s plan of deleting only one zero.   

I also want to point out that with Al-Sheikh’s plan he does not specify what lower denominations, if any, would be printed to meet his redenomination effort, so we must assume he is going to utilize as many of the existing notes as possible now in circulation.  

He does not specify how much of a revaluation, if any even. I quote from his article – “He said that proposal is no longer being pursued, and the current government’s focus has shifted toward changing the currency itself rather than altering the exchange rate.”

Again, the emphasis as with deleting the 3 zeros is as it would be with deleting 1 zero would not focus on a revaluation. The revaluation would come as a matter of course.  

SUMMARY:

We can see as far investors go, that Al-Sheikh’s plan does give significant increases across the denominations much more than the Dr Shabibi’s plan. This could also be detrimental to causing inflation when at a time the deleting of any zeros is only transitory meaning it is just a temporary in-country change, a precursor to the FOREX change that comes or should come next. Al-Sheikh’s plan does not mention this next step and so what notes would be left behind after his plan is executed? These notes are  not the notes the IMF wants to be in circulation as the final stage. The CBI has already told us what this set of notes would be and they do not match the Al-Sheikh’s plan.

According to DR Shabibi any plan to delete the zeros should do four things:

1. Help swap out the three zero notes back to the lower denominations (the first stage in finally ‘normalizing’ the dinar prior to 2003
2. Collect the stashes of currency be horded and get it into the banks
3. Not cause for a revalued change in the CBI rate directly
4. Not cause inflation

So we can clearly see something is brewing and I don’t think its going to be only one zero deleted. I firmly believe it they do anything it will be all three zeros and then move to FOREX, pending no high inflation as a result of the changes. They will stick to the Dr Shabibi plan. This is what they actually talked about during Al-Zaidi’s visit to Washington not Al-Sheikh’s plan.

____________________________________

So, now we have yet another article proving to you that the U.S. has to approve any significant RV of the Iraqi dinar. There is no denying this again. Take a peek at the article titled “THE DOLLAR’S JOURNEY FROM “MANHATTAN” TO “AL-RASHID”: A READING INTO THE SECRETS OF MONETARY DEPENDENCE AND THE FUTURE OF “IRAQ 2”

In the article and I quote – “Iraq is a major economic paradox; while it sits atop the world’s fourth-largest oil reserves, it finds itself shackled by a series of monetary crises that raise a pressing sovereign question: Why are our wealth deposited in the US Federal Reserve Bank of New York instead of our national treasuries? And why does every Iraqi dollar pass through US scrutiny before finding its way to Baghdad?”

So, after reading this paragraph and poking around the entire article in the Articles Section for yourself, do you really think the U.S. is not going to have a significant say if the dinar goes back in the global currency exchanges i.e. FOREX? Can it even go back unless the US Treasury releases all these funds back to Iraq into their own national treasuries? I believe some sort of arrangement will be made in accommodate both angles. They can get creative. Let’s watch and see how they do this.

As a side note. To answer this question, we must realize why this process of holding oil revenues by the U.S. still exists in the first place. We have to go back to the Iranian backed politicians, militias and factions based in Iraq.

UPDATE: About disarming the Factions inside Iraq

Some factions have already handed over their weapons, while others are waiting for a timetable to decide their position. However, the scene does not appear to be in such harmony. The US and Iraq agreed on a timetable of September 30^th to complete this task. On July 10, the “Islamic Resistance” and Hezbollah Brigades surprised everyone with fiery statements declaring that their weapons are “a doctrine and a covenant, not a bargaining chip,” and renewing their allegiance to the new Supreme Leader in Tehran. Why are these factions holding back?

Another article in today’s news may give us the answer to this question as to why they are holding back in giving up their weapons. It is titled “AL-ABOUDI: THREE FACTIONS HAVE BEGUN HANDING OVER THEIR WEAPONS TO THE STATE, AND TALKS ARE UNDERWAY WITH WASHINGTON AND TEHRAN TO SUPPORT THE MONOPOLY OF ARMS” gives us the reason why some of the factions were reluctant to give up their arms.

I quote from the article – “stressing that the government held talks with the United States and Iran to support this path, while announcing that three factions have begun procedures to hand over their weapons to official institutions.”

“He explained that the issue of restricting weapons to the state requires dialogue with the various concerned parties, noting that some factions were linking their continued possession of weapons to the presence of American forces, and that an understanding regarding the end of their presence removes one of the justifications that were being put forward in this context.”

I don’t want to bore anyone with this effort to disarm the factions but I thought it would be good to learn what is going on and to add that many of you thought this was going to take years not months. So we need to relax and just let it all play out. There is not anything we can do about it, other than listen. When a timeline arises for the RV we will know because my contact in the CBI will be on top of it.

Here is more information to the important of disarming the factions. It is titled “AL-ZAIDI TRAVELS TO TEHRAN SEEKING (removal of ) EIGHT BALLISTIC MISSILES BELONGING TO THE FACTIONS… AND TRUMP IS WATCHING.”

I look at these past visits as reporting in to Iran. Iran must then agree to whatever Iraq and US agreed to accomplish or else it does not get done. Have you noticed this too especially under the 8 years of Nouri al-Maliki. Let’s hope this trip to Iran is different not the same. But we can already see the meeting of commander Qaani with the factions is different. It is really all about disarming the factions inside Iraq.

In a true test of his promises to US President Donald Trump and his return to the country yesterday, Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is preparing to visit Tehran on July 23, a trip reminiscent of his predecessors’ (as Tehran has traditionally been the next stop for any prime minister after Washington). According to Al-Mada newspaper, information indicates that al-Zaidi will ask the Iranian side to exert pressure on armed factions (groups outside state control that refuse to disarm) to release what is known as the “ballistic missile card” and hand over the hidden missiles (estimated at about 8 ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones) before September 30, the deadline set by the government to resolve the issue of uncontrolled weapons.

Here is yet more news on disarming the factions. It is titled “QAANI CANCELS THE “RESISTANCE COORDINATION” AND REDRAWS THE MAP OF FACTIONS IN IRAQ.”

 Do you remember who Qaani is?

Iraqi security sources revealed what they described as “important” organizational changes within the armed factions loyal to Iran, represented by the directive of the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Ismail Qaani, to cancel what is known as the “Coordination of Resistance in Iraq,” according to the “Eram News ” website.

The website stated in a report seen by Al-Sa’a Network, quoting sources, that “the changes stipulate that the factions move to a stage in which they operate independently, in response to the security and political changes that Iraq is witnessing, coinciding with the approaching end of the mission of the international coalition forces .”

In other words the coalition forces are set to leave by September 30^th therefore Qaani is telling them to gauge your disarming when they leave. This sound sensible to me.

There are some other goodies in this article about disarming and how they intend to do it, if you wish to go read it. My point is that it is happening now and will conclude by September 30, 2026 to coincide with the coalition security forces leaving Iraq. But what will the news status of forces agreement between Iraq and the US look like? Al-Zaidi already told the US he wanted a new agreement but did not yet give specifics. I think he is waiting for Iran to leave Iraq.

I have a sneaky suspicion that Al-Zaidi agrees totally with Trump on the aspects of not having these armed militia and factions inside Iraq, at least for the sake of getting US investors.

UPDATE: Iraq / US partnership in the middle east

I need everyone to shake the cobwebs off your brain and remember once again what I have been telling you concerning the President Trump administration’s plan to turn the middle east around to a peaceful place. In the article titled “AN AMERICAN PLOY TO IMPLEMENT THE NEW MIDDLE EAST PROJECT… WILL IRAQ SWALLOW THE BAIT?”

But we don’t really need this article do we? We can already begin to see serious groundwork being laid for this reality to happen.  

This article today, I feel, is significant because it is telling us without any reservations that Iraq is part of the bigger plan and will be a direct player in this Trump plan. But Trump will also need the cooperation of the Iraq officials to be successful. Folks we can already see the RV taking shape with Al-Sheikh’s plan and the intent behind it. The proverbial cat is out of the bag now just like my CBI contact told me they would begin a campaign once again to educate the citizens of the process to swap out their currency to a new set. It is coming. It is still July and we can expect this to gear up more and more as we approach December. Trump will need the IQD back on FOREX for his plan. Get it?

So, remember Iraq needs SECURITY and STABILITY. This article today goes hand in hand with addressing both of these issues.

This quote is loaded – “The recent security changes at the level of military and security leadership have raised many questions about the nature and timing of these measures, and whether they fall within the context of normal administrative rotation of security positions, or whether they came in response to external directives and pressures aimed at finding alternatives capable of implementing agendas that are consistent with the American vision in the region.”

“the discussion is focused on what are said to be moves backed by American pressure to make changes affecting the Chief of Staff of the Popular Mobilization Forces, Abdul Aziz al-Muhammadawi, and the Chief of Staff of the Army, Lieutenant General Abdul Amir Rashid Yarallah, within the framework of efforts believed to be aimed at removing any obstacles to the new American project in the Middle East”  

Oh boy, Oh Boy this next paragraph in the article really says it all. It needs no explanation from me. I quote – “Observers believe that the United States is moving rapidly to create the necessary conditions for launching its new project in the Middle East, placing Iraq at the forefront of its priorities, given its strategic geographical location and its vast wealth and economic potential, as well as its efforts to tighten the noose and increase the siege on the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

_________________________________

Okay so here is yet another article addressing the economic partnership with the US and Iraq. It is titled “AL-ZAIDI REVEALS THE “ADVICE” HE GAVE TO TRUMP: WE DON’T WANT IRAQ TO BE A FAILED STATE”.

“Prime Minister Ali al-Zubaidi affirmed on Wednesday that his government rejects Iraq becoming a “failed state,” stressing the need to continue fighting corruption and bear “all the consequences,” while revealing that he advised US President Donald Trump against launching a military strike against Iran.”  

“He added that a military presence does not create ties between peoples, and that economic engagement is the guarantor of building those relationships, noting that Iraq is looking for an investment partnership with the United States that extends for 30 years instead of a military presence.”

Oh…. so here is yet more news of this desire to be partners with the US in economic development. It is titled “IRAQ IS PREPARING TO TRANSLATE THE OUTCOMES OF THE WASHINGTON TALKS INTO DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.”

“Iraq and the United States of America launched an economic partnership that represented a highly important strategic transitional phase, especially after the two countries signed 48 agreements and memoranda of understanding worth more than $60 billion, aimed at expanding the prospects of cooperation in the energy, oil, electricity, industry, technology and financial sectors, a step that specialists considered necessary to achieve developmental leaps in various economic sectors.”

Remember this article says have already launched not something to kick the can down the road. The partnership is made. Like planting a seed, now we just need it to grow.

Here is yet more news from the speaker of Parliament. It is titled “AL-HALBOUSI RECEIVES THE US CHARGÉ D’AFFAIRES AND EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP WITH WASHINGTON.”

The head of the Progress Party, Mohammed al-Halbousi, discussed today, Sunday (July 26, 2026), with the US Chargé d’Affaires, Joshua Harris, the political developments and the economic partnership, and explained that the meeting addressed the results of the Prime Minister’s visit to Washington and the regional and international challenges.

____________________________________

One more item to cover today. It concerns the non-oil revenues. The article is titled “IRAQ: NON-OIL REVENUES HIT RECORD HIGH”.

We were told in recent past articles that the GOI and CBI have a goal of 45-55% of non-oil revenues. Seems they already reached 16%. Does Iraq have to reach this goal prior to any RV. I am being told it would certainly help but it is not the main cause of holding back the reinstatement. My contact told me it mostly about the militias, factions and getting the Oil and Gas Law in place.  

The Eco Iraq Observatory announced on Saturday that the contribution of non-oil revenues to Iraq’s total financial revenues has risen to 16%, the highest percentage recorded so far.

The observatory said in a statement received by Al-Sa’a that “this is the first time that the percentage of non-oil revenues has risen to 16% during the months of May and June, after it had remained for years not exceeding 5%.” The observatory explained that “non-oil revenues include commodity taxes and production fees, general fees, taxes on income and wealth, transfer revenues, as well as other revenues.”

He pointed out that “the revenues of the Kurdistan Region represent about 5.5% of the total non-oil revenues, through the funds that the region delivers to the federal government.”

SUMMARY

There is no bad news today. All the news is pointing in one direction, aimed at the end of the year. They even told us this year will be different for the budget and they are using a new method of budgeting and the 2027 budget will be ready by Oct 1^st and hopes to pass by December. I still say this will be a miracle if they can do and I will believe it when I see it. But my point today is they always push for a target with a series of issues to resolve. However, they are always too slow and stagnant. I believe this was caused by the Iranian influence to keep Iraq stagnant. Iran does not need a fruitful country only a controlled and corrupt country to keep as their proxy state. Why? To fund the Iranian factions around the globe and to fund the development of their military. Yes, sad but true. Now that maybe we are seeing an end to all this nonsense with Iran can we finally see some major progress?  The real key to Iraq as far as Washington is concerned is the disarmament of the factions inside Iraq. I believe that post September 30^th we will see Iraq just take off.

_______________________________________________

Let’s keep our prayers alive. There is a deep spiritual dimension at work today bringing about this reset. I believe we are closer than ever for the dinar to get reinstated. But first things first. Part of the mess in the US must be cleaned up too. Then certain laws in Iraq must be passed. Certainly, reviving the economy to at least 45%-50% non-oil revenues could make a huge difference for Iraq and the IMF. Let’s also let the Abraham Accords take effect as more Arab countries join in. By now everyone should be fully aware of these events that caused delays in the currency reform process. This is not rocket science to understand. We are not in control over these obstacles. We need to STOP spreading rumors and over speculating.

What do you think will happen next? (Leave a comment)

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

                                             Just the FACTS!

                                         

These prophecies are an important tool we have to lead us on our path. They are more important now than ever. They give us the strength, perseverance and hope that a better time is coming and that God’s Hand is at work behind the scenes. If you just take a second even to look around you at these past three election cycles, how can you deny that God is at work? Are you sleeping or what?

It is amazing and there is no other way that these events could have happened the way they turned out. But there is more to come, much, much more, I assure you! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected, we need to pay attention to what He does next.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a brighter future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do is taking place right in front of our noses. It is a confirmation to me that God is real and is still with us forever just as in biblical times.

Prophetic Words from the prophets:  Julie Green

God is sending yet more prophecies on the elections in today’s word.

“OBAMA IS STILL FIGHTING TO TAKE BACK THIS NATION”

 Go to the 12:14 mark. From July 17^th.    

I find it pathetic how the democrats accused Trump in 2020 that if he lost the election (which they knew they were rigging) that he would not leave the office of the presidency. Now in this prophecy we learn that God is telling us the Obama, using an actor in Biden’s place did exactly that. He wanted a third term and got it working behind the scenes. I am going to tell you a story today, most may already know it. I need everyone to listen carefully to what I am about to tell you.

They tried to rig the 2024 election too like in 2020 but with the candidates the democrats allowed to run against Trump it would be way to obvious that the elections were rigged again. Get it? Do actually believe that Harris and Waltz team could legitimately win an election without massive voting fraud?

This is also why in the 2020 election, even though the vice president Joe Biden died before the election, the democrats had to salvage the election somehow. They had to put someone in, as an actor, a look alike, to take his place. They had no other alternative since no other viable candidate other than Joe was available. Remember it was the actor, not the real Joe Biden, that picked Kamala Harris as his VP.

The body double was easy to fool the American population since no one really paid much attention to the real Joe as VP anyway. The only time they began paying attention to his figure was when he was nominated by the DNC for president. By then the real Joe was already dead so they actually nominated the actor, the fake Joe Biden. It was this fake Joe Biden, the actor, that took the oath of office in January 2021 too and served four years in the Whitehouse with the former Obama secretly dictating policy to him. All the fake Joe had to do is stay alive and make a few speeches every now and then when he was not bathing in the sun on the beach in Delaware, eating ice cream or in his office in the basement. He even took the dead Joe’s wife, Jill as his first lady. How about that?

If you take the time to look at real pictures of the actor as Biden in the early months of his presidency (Not AI generated) you can see many discrepancies in his face and body language movements. These were then compared to the real Joe before his death. Yes, just months later these pictures were all over the internet. This was a challenge to Obama then to cover up these changes. Quickly they changed how he parted his hair and his ear lobes where surgically changed. The they worked on his face a bit. But you can change the voice and mannerism. Go back to old film clips of the real Joe and watch. Then compare to the film clips of the actor Biden during his campaign and very early presidency. The differences stand right out. You don’t age that much in a year, sorry!

There is solid evidence that everything I just said is the TRUTH and so why has this not yet come out in the open? The fact is it has but the news media will not publish it or talk about it. It is being covered up.

The Problem:

The mental cognitive ability of the actor Joe Biden began to decline ever before he took the office as president. This only continued and worsened as pressures from the office and age took its toll on him. Did you ever wonder why he always tried to convince the public that he was still vibrant and athletic like when he tried to ride his bike and fell, or when he used to do those running sprints or how he would fall often or trip. What about the stories of his youth that he mostly messed up since he couldn’t even remember the stuff they briefed him on about the real Joe Biden. Did you notice too that most of his later speeches were told in dark surroundings as to prevent as much exposure as possible.  

So the former president Obama is still trying to recover from the disastrous days of the actor Biden. It was all a mess and they are still paying the price for the coupe on the presidency. Should Obama and everyone else who was knowingly involved be tried for TREASON? Is it time for justice? Can we finally get justice on this episode of American corruption and ensure it never happens again?

PERSPECTIVES ON THE IRAQI DINAR PROPHECIES

   

Fr. DON BOSCO EXPOSED THE DARK SECRET BEHIND ISLAM

I keep this one out here to view. Everyone should take the time to watch it. It will awaken you about the Muslim so-called religion (or should we call it for it is — a cult.)

— And the Truth the World Forgot about the so-called Muslim religion. Fr.Don Bosco, also known as John Bosco, was an Italian Catholic priest and educator, born on August 16, 1815. He founded the Salesian Society in 1859 to help disadvantaged youth,  particularly boys, through education and community service. His teachings emphasized lovekindness, and the importance of education for young people, making him a beloved figure in Catholicism and a patron saint of youth. Don Bosco was canonized in 1934.  

HAVE WE HAD SECUREST ELECTIONS IN THE U.S. HISTORY?

After auditing only four states by DHS, 278,000 non-citizens were discovered to be registered to vote. Remember that the US Constitution clearly says that only US citizens have the privilege to vote in the elections. This is also just common sense. On this premise alone, how can anyone possibly state that the 2020 election was “the most secure election ever” without even digging into the FACTS of how the voting process worked, the scandals exposed and by looking at the voter rolls.

THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY CONFESSES TO VOTER FRAUD

WOW! WOW! WOW! It finally comes out after years of denial by the democrats. What the heck do you think President Trump has been talking about? Yes, in Georgia they even tried to indite people for crimes for trying to expose their voter fraud. Remember what they did to Rudy Guilliano and many others? Since when is it a crime to expose crime?

So, here we have the confessions of voter fraud in the state of New Jersey. What about Arisona, Penn, Wisconsin, ect.. New Jeresy is one of the states, of many, who refused to let the federal govt review their voter roles. Gee Whiz… I wonder why… Now we see an admission of blatant corruption in the last election. But there is much more to be exposed too. It is all coming to roost….. lol…. PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT NOW!

Oh…but they say its only 400 fraudulent voters in NJ? Well… I have to tell you it may be even a little for each state, and it all adds up to making someone lose or win an election. Get it? Do you really get my point here today?

I want to add one more note here today. Didn’t I say the federal govt should have come in an audited each state, state by state prior to the 2020 elections. This is now being done, late but being done. This along with the Save America Act could have saved so much from going in the hole that the Trump now has to overcome to climb out of that Biden created. Yes, Obama wanted a third term and thought he could finally end the United States as we now know it with a third term. But its now working out that way and you know why? It because of people like you and me who have awakened to what is going on. Let’s end this democrat party push for Socialist Communist once and for all in the midterms.

HOW MAMDANI IS LEADING DEMOCRATS STRAIGHT OFF A CLIFF….

Only many of the democrats are too dumb to realize what the final outcome of Mamdani is going to be for their party. Later, they will regret ever supporting him or at the least not speaking out about him. They are still hopeful someone, anyone, can pull them through these next two elections. It is not looking very good for the democrats.

TRUMPS TELEVISED THURSDAY SPEECH: RECENTLY DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS: SOLID PROOF OF U.S. ELECTION INTERFERENCE BY A FOREIGN POWER.

So much worst that any of us predicted. The democrat conspiracy to rig the election by China. Why would China do this? Now what? I believe this speech by president Trump last Thursday just scratched the surface. It is just the beginning of what is to come. There are thousands of inditements to be served from this 2020 election fraud.

THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH U.S. ELECTIONS.

Why did Trump give his speech on Thursday. Everyone needs to know this and listen carefully. Trumps speech was not about losing the 2020 election (sore loser) but rather election integrity and an orchestrated attack on him by the democrat party through foreign powers. Remember Trump was the president in 2020 and the intelligence agency intentionally filtered information from him about the foreign intervention in their briefings to him. This is the major issue here. RememberTrump also put in place an executive order that states any interference by a foreign power in an election could make it null and void.

ECONOMIC EXPERT: IRAQI GOVERNMENT STUDYING CURRENCY CHANGE PROPOSAL TO BOOST LIQUIDITY AND STRENGTHEN THE DINAR

An economic expert has told Channel8 that the Iraqi government is studying a proposal to change the country’s currency as part of broader economic reforms aimed at recovering hidden cash, increasing state liquidity, and strengthening the Iraqi dinar against the U.S. dollar.

Proposal Emerged After U.S. Visit

Speaking to Channel8, economic expert Haider al-Sheikh said Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi’s recent visit to the United States produced several economic outcomes, including the lifting of U.S. sanctions on seven Iraqi banks, allowing them to resume international transactions and rejoin the correspondent banking system.

Al-Sheikh said discussions following the visit also led to a proposal to overhaul Iraq’s currency as part of efforts to improve financial liquidity. According to al-Sheikh, the proposal currently being studied includes two possible approaches.

The first would introduce a redesigned Iraqi currency with new banknote designs across existing denominations.

The second would remove one zero from the currency as part of a redenomination process. He stressed that the proposal does not involve printing larger denominations, such as IQD 50,000 or IQD 100,000 banknotes, but instead focuses on replacing the existing currency.

Recovering Hidden Cash

Al-Sheikh said the primary objective is to bring large amounts of cash held outside the banking system back into circulation.

He argued that much of Iraq’s liquidity is held by individuals rather than the state, while government cash reserves remain limited.

Under the proposal, authorities would establish a limited period during which citizens could exchange existing banknotes for the new currency through government banks.

He said unusually large exchanges would be subject to scrutiny, allowing authorities to investigate the source of the funds and identify assets linked to corruption.

Al-Sheikh linked the proposal to al-Zaidi’s anti-corruption “Dawn Campaign,” which has led to the arrest of more than 40 suspects and the discovery of large quantities of cash allegedly hidden in private properties.

Expected Economic Impact

Al-Sheikh said changing the currency could help increase government liquidity, stabilize the exchange market, and strengthen the Iraqi dinar against the U.S. dollar.

He added that the government hopes the measure would improve public confidence in the national currency and reduce the volume of cash circulating outside the formal banking system.

Al-Sheikh noted that a separate proposal to adjust Iraq’s official exchange rate had been discussed under former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, including the possibility of setting the rate at IQD 140,000 per $100. He said that proposal is no longer being pursued, and the current government’s focus has shifted toward changing the currency itself rather than altering the exchange rate.

Additional Financing and Legislative Process

Al-Sheikh also claimed that Iraq secured between $2 billion and $3 billion in loans and financial grants from the United States during the prime minister’s visit. He added that Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries are also expected to provide additional financing.

According to al-Sheikh, the currency proposal remains under study and will be reviewed by the Ministerial Council for the Economy, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank of Iraq, and a joint consultative committee before being submitted to the Council of Ministers and later to Parliament if approved.

He estimated that, if adopted, implementation could take approximately five to six months.

Al-Sheikh said Iraq’s currency remains among the weakest-performing in the Middle East and argued that a well-planned currency reform, supported by research from the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance, could contribute to increasing the value of the Iraqi dinar against the U.S. dollar.

He emphasized that the proposal remains under government review and has not yet been formally approved.

THE DOLLAR’S JOURNEY FROM “MANHATTAN” TO “AL-RASHID”: A READING INTO THE SECRETS OF MONETARY DEPENDENCE AND THE FUTURE OF “IRAQ 2”

Iraq is a major economic paradox; while it sits atop the world’s fourth-largest oil reserves, it finds itself shackled by a series of monetary crises that raise a pressing sovereign question: Why are our wealth deposited in the US Federal Reserve Bank of New York instead of our national treasuries? And why does every Iraqi dollar pass through US scrutiny before finding its way to Baghdad?

In this analytical reading, we delve into the profound facts presented by Dr. Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister and the foremost authority on Iraqi monetary policies, to reveal how the “American treasury” is managed, and what are the costs of “systemic waste” that devour the development budget.

First: “Iraq 2” – New York as a bank for global operations

The journey toward monetary dependency began with UN Security Council Resolution 1483 in May 2003, which established the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI). The choice of the New York branch of the Federal Reserve was not only political, but also because it serves as the “International Operations Bank,” managing international liquidity. Today, this fund has legally been transformed into the “Iraq 2” account.

For many years, this account served as a source for paying the $52.4 billion in Kuwait war reparations, which officially ended in 2021, but it remained a crucial financial buffer. Here, a technical distinction must be made between two types of accounts: the “Oil Receipts Account,” into which export revenues are deposited, and the Central Bank’s “Foreign Reserves Account,” where “monetary sterilization” operations are carried out by absorbing Iraqi dinars and injecting dollars to finance trade.

“The US Presidential Executive Order (EO 13303) provides unique legal immunity for Iraqi funds against any legal action or seizures by international and private creditors. It is an international umbrella of protection that ensures the continuity of cash flows, but in essence it entrenches a monetary dependency that makes the US Federal Reserve the primary overseer of liquidity.”

Second: The “petrodollar” trap and compliance with the “SWIFT” system

Iraq technically belongs to the “dollar zone,” and is part of the “petrodollar” system that serves the American financial empire. The decision to price oil in dollars is not merely a technical choice; it is a cornerstone of stabilizing global demand for the greenback.

The idea of ​​a “monetary rebellion” or breaking free from the dollar’s ​​dominance clashes with the reality of “institutional compliance.” The financial world today is governed by the SWIFT system and transparency rules, and any attempt to circumvent the dollar would mean isolation from financing imports, which are vital to the daily lives of Iraqi citizens.

Third: “The Cost of Iraq” and Systemic Corruption

Dr. Mazhar revealed a shocking concept known as the “Cost of Iraq,” an undeclared tax that consumes between 40% and 45% of the value of any project implemented in the country. This waste is not merely individual theft, but rather “systemic corruption” where poor planning combines with extortion and exorbitant insurance costs.

• Feasibility crisis: A startling fact indicates that 90% of projects in Iraq lack genuine economic or technical feasibility studies, turning the investment budget into “wasteful economics”.

• Waste as an alternative to corruption: Dr. Mazhar believes that “waste economics” is the most dangerous face of corruption, where the efficiency of institutions declines and the costs of stalled projects multiply due to conflicting decisions.

“We are not just fighting bribery; we are facing a system of waste resulting from the low efficiency of institutions. Transforming the economy from a ‘waste economy’ to an ‘efficiency economy’ is the real battle to restore the state.”

Fourth: The battle over “white markets” and the restructuring of banks

The Iraqi banking sector recently witnessed the suspension of 28 banks from dealing in US dollars. It is important to distinguish between these banks and those sanctioned by OFAC for financial crimes; rather, they were suspended due to institutional non-compliance with international money transfer standards.

Today, the global firm Oliver Wyman is leading a reform plan to ensure “international compliance,” which includes:

1. Mergers: Creating robust, competitive banking entities instead of “front” banks.

2. Capital adequacy: Raising the minimum capital requirement for banks to 400 billion Iraqi dinars as a condition for survival.

3. Strategic Partner: Connecting local banks with international correspondents to ensure transparency and a complete transition from the “grey market” to the “white market”.

Fifth: “Economic Geography” and the Challenge of the Strait of Hormuz

For years, Iraq has been held captive by geopolitics, but the new vision prioritizes geoeconomics. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have exposed the fragility of relying on a single waterway; direct oil losses (loss of volume, not price) are estimated at around $39 billion since last February, while macroeconomic losses reach $45 billion, according to Dr. Mazhar’s “non-orthodox estimates.”

The lost “opportunity cost” of relying on a threatened waterway for exports makes diversifying export routes (such as the Banias pipeline and the Turkish pipeline) an existential necessity, not merely a strategic option. The “collapse in volumes” that Iraq is currently facing is more dangerous than the collapse in prices because it strikes at the very heart of the state’s financial capacity.

Summary:

Trust as a “tangible asset” that generates wealth

The crisis in Iraq is not a lack of resources, but rather a deep “trust gap.” As Dr. Mazhar describes it, “trust is an intangible asset”; if it is present and the working environment is improved, it immediately transforms into tangible assets and productive wealth.

The institutional reforms Iraq is currently undertaking, from the Higher Investment Council to the program and performance budget, are an attempt to curb systemic corruption. But the question remains: Will Iraq succeed in transforming trust into a national currency stronger than the dollar that resides in Manhattan, New York? It is a battle to restore the state’s efficiency, a battle in which Iraq will not accept compromise.

IRAQI DINAR STRENGTHENS AS IRANIAN TOMAN PLUNGES AMID TENSIONS

The Iraqi dinar has recorded notable gains against the U.S. dollar, while the Iranian toman continues to lose value due to escalating conflict conditions. Market analysts anticipate further volatility in both currencies.

Dinar’s Rise Against the Dollar

Last week, the dinar showed a sharp upward trend. At the start of the week, 100 dollars traded for 153,500 dinars, but by Tuesday, July 21, 2026, it had dropped to 149,500 dinars, and in some cities like Baghdad and Basra even to 149,000. Currently, the rate is stable between 150,000 and 151,000 dinars. Since the beginning of the month, the dinar has regained about 4,000 dinars per 100 dollars.

Political and Banking Factors

Ali Faleh al-Zaidi’s visit to Washington and the announcement of an energy-sector economic agreement, along with the lifting of sanctions on seven Iraqi banks, had a direct impact. Analysts believe that if the Central Bank injects more dollars into the market, the dinar will strengthen further. Market commentator Keyfi Khushnaw stated: “If stricter measures are applied, the price of 100 dollars could fall below 150,000 dinars.”

Trading Volume in Erbil

Khushnaw revealed that daily transactions in Erbil’s currency market reach 30–40 million dollars, much of it domestic, tied to oil and real estate deals. Around 70% of the dollars purchased are used by traders for imports. If the government supplies dollars at the official rate of 132,000 dinars, demand in the parallel market will decline.

Toman’s Decline Due to Conflict

 In contrast, the Iranian toman has suffered heavy losses amid ongoing U.S.–Iran tensions. Within just one week, the rate for 100 dollars fell from 17,500,000 tomans to 19,400,000. Previously, during negotiations, the toman had strengthened to 11,000,000 per 100 dollars, but renewed conflict has halved its value.

Demand for Million-Toman Notes

Currency dealer Dana Mawlud in Sulaymaniyah noted that “the value of the toman is directly tied to the war situation.” He explained that one million-toman notes are in high demand because they are easier to handle, with one billion tomans equating to only 5,000,000 Iraqi dinars.

Historical Comparison

Currently, one billion tomans equals just 51,280 dollars. Fifteen years ago, the same amount was worth one million dollars. This stark contrast highlights the deep depreciation of the Iranian currency over the past decade and a half.

AL-HALBOUSI RECEIVES THE US CHARGÉ D’AFFAIRES AND EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP WITH WASHINGTON.

The head of the Progress Party, Mohammed al-Halbousi, discussed today, Sunday (July 26, 2026), with the US Chargé d’Affaires, Joshua Harris, the political developments and the economic partnership, and explained that the meeting addressed the results of the Prime Minister’s visit to Washington and the regional and international challenges.

The media office of the Progress Party, as reported by Network 964, stated that Al-Halbousi “received today, Sunday, the Chargé d’Affaires of the US Embassy in Iraq, Mr. Joshua Harris.”

He added that “the meeting addressed the political situation in the country, and supported the recent visit of the Prime Minister to the United States of America, which contributed to launching a comprehensive and diversified economic partnership that supports the Iraqi economy and expands investment opportunities.”

He added that “the meeting discussed developments in regional and international affairs, the challenges facing the region, and a number of topics of common interest.”

AL-ZAIDI TRAVELS TO TEHRAN SEEKING (removal of ) EIGHT BALLISTIC MISSILES BELONGING TO THE FACTIONS… AND TRUMP IS WATCHING.

(Mnt Goat:I look at these visits as reporting in to Iran. Iran must then agree whatever to Iraq and US agreed to accomplish or else it does not get done. Let’s hope this trip to Iran is not the same and is really all about disarming the factions inside Iraq)

In a true test of his promises to US President Donald Trump and his return to the country yesterday, Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is preparing to visit Tehran on July 23, a trip reminiscent of his predecessors’ (as Tehran has traditionally been the next stop for any prime minister after Washington). According to Al-Mada newspaper, information indicates that al-Zaidi will ask the Iranian side to exert pressure on armed factions (groups outside state control that refuse to disarm) to release what is known as the “ballistic missile card” and hand over the hidden missiles (estimated at about 8 ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones) before September 30, the deadline set by the government to resolve the issue of uncontrolled weapons.

This move comes in coordination with the diplomatic arrangements witnessed in Baghdad yesterday, Sunday, through the meeting of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Muhammad Hussein Bahr al-Uloom, with the Iranian Ambassador, Kazem Al-Sadiq, to ​​discuss the agenda of the visit, at a time when political circles warn that any failure of Al-Zaidi to dismantle this weapon will negatively affect the overall great gains he brought back from Washington, which included the signing of 48 agreements and memoranda of understanding in the energy, finance and technology sectors, as well as the return of Iraqi banks to the global correspondent network.

Statement

After five busy days in Washington, Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi returns to the destination that has traditionally been the next stop for any Iraqi prime minister: Tehran. But this time the visit does not appear to be an extension of protocol, but rather a test of whether the promises he brought from the American capital will hold up at the first Iranian turn.

Informed political sources told Al-Mada that Al-Zaidi will request, during his visit to Iran scheduled for July 23, that Tehran exert pressure on the armed factions to release what the sources describe as the “ballistic card,” and hand over the missiles in their possession before September 30, the date set by the government to end the issue of weapons outside the state.

The sources add that the meetings in Tehran will focus primarily on the groups that are now described within government circles as “rebels,” who refuse to disarm, while estimates indicate that they are hiding hundreds of drones, in addition to at least “8 ballistic missiles,” which they obtained from Iran, and refuse to hand them over at the instigation of Tehran.

The sources believe that the government is now facing a crucial test. If al-Zaidi is unable to fulfill his pledge to disarm the militias by the end of September, many of the gains he brought back from Washington will be threatened.

“An opportunity to get rid of Iran’s influence”

For his part, former diplomat Ghazi Faisal believes that al-Zaidi’s visit represents a qualitative shift in Iraqi-American relations after years of stagnation, noting that relations were affected by the failure to appoint an American ambassador in Baghdad, the continuation of rocket attacks on the American embassy and the Kurdistan Region, and more than 600 attacks targeting American interests and attributed to factions allied with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Faisal tells Al-Mada that Iraq has suffered in recent years from the difficulty of achieving a balance between its relations with Tehran and Washington, and that Iranian influence has been strongly present in political decision-making. He adds that the current visit gives Baghdad a wider opportunity for political, economic and security independence.

CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ OUTLINES ROADMAP TO REDUCE CASH RELIANCE AND EXPAND DIGITAL SERVICES

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) held an expanded meeting on Tuesday with licensed electronic payment providers to accelerate the nation’s digital financial transformation, strengthen financial inclusion, and curb card misuse. Chaired by CBI Governor Nizar Nasser Hussein, the meeting centered on executing the regulator’s strategic roadmap to modernize Iraq’s payment ecosystem and transition away from a cash-heavy economy.

Addressing representatives from the sector, Al-Alaq stated that the upcoming phase demands a noticeable increase in service quality, efficiency, and system reliability to build public trust in digital transactions.

Key Objectives and Strategic Focus

During the session, the central bank outlined several operational and regulatory priorities:

• Compliance with Global Standards: The CBI urged payment firms to adhere strictly to international frameworks, particularly regarding cross-border financial transactions. Compliance is expected to enable higher card transaction limits and facilitate the rollout of new financial products.
• Countering Card Misuse: Regulators and payment companies discussed joint enforcement procedures to prevent card misuse and enhance payment network security.
• Expanding Acceptance Networks: Al-Alaq called on providers to expand POS (Point-of-Sale) acceptance networks, streamline digital collection processes, and deepen integration with licensed commercial banks.

The initiative comes as part of broader government efforts to modernize the national economy, reduce cash dependency, and implement modern financial infrastructure across both the public and private sectors.

PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE COMMITTEE: THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR WILL DECREASE FURTHER.

Confirmed Finance Committee Parliamentarians said on Monday that the value of the dollar will decrease further.

The committee chairman said Ady Awadfor Alsumaria News“Lifting sanctions on a number of banks will affect the price of the dollar, its flow, and the parallel market,” he said, adding that “this measure will serve the Iraqi market.”

He added that “this will reduce the value of the dollar,” noting that “we will host the Central Bank Governor in the committee to clarify the vision and mechanisms he will adopt regarding this matter.”
He stated that “banks will resume dealing in dollars.”

Regarding the budget, he explained “The government has begun preparing the 2027 budget, which will reach parliament in October,” he noted, adding that “the budget will be approved before the end of the year.”

(They say this about the budget every year. Let’s hope with the new budgeting process (program budgeting) they finally worked the kinks out of the process. It usually takes till March, if even, to get a budget. It would be proper to have it at the beginning the budgeted year, don’t you think?)

QAANI CANCELS THE “RESISTANCE COORDINATION” AND REDRAWS THE MAP OF FACTIONS IN IRAQ.

Iraqi security sources revealed what they described as “important” organizational changes within the armed factions loyal to Iran, represented by the directive of the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Ismail Qaani, to cancel what is known as the “Coordination of Resistance in Iraq,” according to the “Eram News ” website.

The website stated in a report seen by Al-Sa’a Network, quoting sources, that “the changes stipulate that the factions move to a stage in which they operate independently, in response to the security and political changes that Iraq is witnessing, coinciding with the approaching end of the mission of the international coalition forces .”

He explained that “during his recent visit to Iraq, Qaani held a closed meeting with a number of leaders of armed factions, during which he informed them of the termination of what is known as the Resistance Coordination, and the suspension of the previous coordination mechanism between the factions during the current stage, so that each group would manage its decisions individually according to the developments of the stage .”

He added that “the Iranian directive came after the changes that occurred on the Iraqi scene, most notably the involvement of a number of factions, which were participating within the coordination, in the process of restricting weapons to the state, and their expression of agreement to hand over their weapons and rearrange their situations in line with the directions of the Iraqi government .”

The report indicated that “Iranian assessments now indicate that the continuation of the coordination in its previous form is no longer compatible with the new reality, after the factions’ positions on the weapons issue differed, as well as the approaching end of the international coalition’s mission, which prompted the adoption of a more flexible formula based on each faction moving independently .”

The coordination committee was the umbrella organization that adopted the majority of military operations targeting foreign forces and international coalition forces in Iraq, especially since the outbreak of the regional war on February 28, and it issued unified statements in the name of the “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” following most of the attacks .

This coordination included the factions of “Kataib Hezbollah”, “Harakat al-Nujaba”, “Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada”, and “Asaib Ahl al-Haq”, in addition to other factions, and during the past period it formed the media and military framework that claimed responsibility for many of the attacks that targeted bases containing American forces .

IRAQ IS PREPARING TO TRANSLATE THE OUTCOMES OF THE WASHINGTON TALKS INTO DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

Iraq and the United States of America launched an economic partnership that represented a highly important strategic transitional phase, especially after the two countries signed 48 agreements and memoranda of understanding worth more than $60 billion, aimed at expanding the prospects of cooperation in the energy, oil, electricity, industry, technology and financial sectors, a step that specialists considered necessary to achieve developmental leaps in various economic sectors.

Partnership pillars

Despite the diverse agreements and partnerships signed between the two countries during Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi’s recent visit to Washington, Dr. Nagham Hussein, Dean of the College of Business Economics at Al-Nahrain University, believes that the most prominent aspect of the Iraqi-American economic partnership is in the energy sector, explaining that this sector is the cornerstone of the partnership and aims to invest in reducing associated gas flaring will increase revenues, lower imports, boost electricity production, improve energy security, attract US companies to invest in oil, gas, and renewable energy projects, and facilitate the transfer of modern technology and management expertise. Natural resources.

Banking and digital systems

In an interview with Al-Sabah, Hussein added that the second pillar of the partnership between the two countries aims to build a more efficient and transparent financial sector by modernizing banking and digital systems, enhancing compliance with international standards in combating money laundering and terrorist financing, expanding financial inclusion and increasing the use of electronic payment methods, as well as improving the investment climate and connecting Iraqi banks to the global financial system. She noted that the economic partnership aims to develop human resources, modernize educational curricula and align them with labor market needs, expand cooperation between Iraqi and American universities, and thus support scientific research and innovation, preparing qualified personnel capable of leading the transformation. Digital and knowledge economy.

She explained that the focus of sustainable economic development can be activated through economic diversification and reducing dependence based on oil, supporting the private sector and small and medium enterprises, improving infrastructure, attracting foreign investment, creating sustainable job opportunities and achieving inclusive economic growth.

Free zone

In a related context, the academic, Dr. Amr Hisham, pointed out that the topic of economic partnership between countries is an important concept that has existed since ancient times, indicating that this concept is governed by political relations, but in reality there are successful models. 

Hisham explained to Al-Sabah that the partnership could be through the creation of a free zone, such as the economic partnership between America and Canada, as well as Mexico. This economic partnership could then develop into a customs union, then a common market, and finally reach an economic union like the European Union.

Successful models

Hisham stated that there are stages to partnership, and there are also successful models such as the United Arab Emirates, which established an economic partnership with America. Singapore also succeeded in establishing an economic partnership with America, and Singapore followed the same path, indicating that this means that many countries in the world are exploiting the American umbrella politically, militarily, and economically.

He called for the need to move towards reducing customs barriers between the two countries on goods and services and to benefit from investments entering and leaving, noting that Iraq has an investment law that allows foreign investments to enter.

Global energy power

He stated that Iraq is a global energy power and is the third or fourth largest oil producer in the world, noting that it could also be a source of gas to South Asian markets. He stressed the need to develop the oil and gas industry and shift towards petrochemical industries while increasing oil storage and absorption capacities, calling for finding alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz by establishing large and expanded oil pipeline networks.

AL-ZAIDI REVEALS THE “ADVICE” HE GAVE TO TRUMP: WE DON’T WANT IRAQ TO BE A FAILED STATE.

Prime Minister Ali al-Zubaidi affirmed on Wednesday that his government rejects Iraq becoming a “failed state,” stressing the need to continue fighting corruption and bear “all the consequences,” while revealing that he advised US President Donald Trump against launching a military strike against Iran.  

In an interview with The Atlantic, al-Zaidi said he advised Trump against launching a military strike against Iran, stressing that Iraq should be a meeting point, not an arena of hostility, between Washington and Tehran.

He added that a military presence does not create ties between peoples, and that economic engagement is the guarantor of building those relationships, noting that Iraq is looking for an investment partnership with the United States that extends for 30 years instead of a military presence.

Al-Zaydi stressed that “there is no option but to surrender the weapons,” emphasizing that his government rejects the transformation of Iraq into a failed state and is committed to fighting corruption.

He pointed out that economic development and job creation are the path to stability in Iraq, noting that the recent war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have inflicted heavy losses on the Iraqi economy, even though Iraq still represents a promising investment opportunity.

Al-Zaydi concluded by emphasizing his readiness to bear the consequences of his reform project.

Al-Zaidi, accompanied by a high-level delegation, concluded last Saturday a five-day official visit to the United States of America , which focused on launching a comprehensive and diversified economic partnership to support the Iraqi economy, expand investment opportunities, revitalize the local labor market, as well as enabling Iraq to open new outlets for exporting crude oil and increase production and refining capacities.

AL-ABOUDI: THREE FACTIONS HAVE BEGUN HANDING OVER THEIR WEAPONS TO THE STATE, AND TALKS ARE UNDERWAY WITH WASHINGTON AND TEHRAN TO SUPPORT THE MONOPOLY OF ARMS.

National Security Advisor Qasim al-Aboudi revealed new developments in the file of restricting weapons to the state, stressing that the government held talks with the United States and Iran to support this path, while announcing that three factions have begun procedures to hand over their weapons to official institutions.

Al-Aboudi said in a televised statement that Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi’s visit to Washington contributed to developing the course of Iraqi-American relations and moving them to the framework of economic partnership and security cooperation, indicating that the two sides agreed to resume training programs and security coordination, as well as discussing a number of joint files.

He explained that the issue of restricting weapons to the state requires dialogue with the various concerned parties, noting that some factions were linking their continued possession of weapons to the presence of American forces, and that an understanding regarding the end of their presence removes one of the justifications that were being put forward in this context.

He added that the government discussed the issue with the Iranian side, noting that Tehran expressed its readiness to support efforts to restrict weapons after being convinced of the withdrawal of US forces, stressing that Baghdad emphasized during the meetings its rejection of the use of Iraqi territory or targeting it in any conflict.

Al-Aboudi stressed that the government is committed to ending the presence of any weapons outside the framework of the state, noting that the next phase will witness new steps to strengthen the authority of official security institutions and consolidate the state’s monopoly on weapons.

IRAQ: NON-OIL REVENUES HIT RECORD HIGH

The Eco Iraq Observatory announced on Saturday that the contribution of non-oil revenues to Iraq’s total financial revenues has risen to 16%, the highest percentage recorded so far.

(Mnt Goat:I believe they told us their goal is between 45-55%)

The observatory said in a statement received by Al-Sa’a that “this is the first time that the percentage of non-oil revenues has risen to 16% during the months of May and June, after it had remained for years not exceeding 5%.”

He explained that “non-oil revenues rose for the first time to about 10% during the government of Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, and stabilized at this level during the government of Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, before recently recording its highest percentage.”

The observatory explained that “non-oil revenues include commodity taxes and production fees, general fees, taxes on income and wealth, transfer revenues, as well as other revenues.”

He pointed out that “the revenues of the Kurdistan Region represent about 5.5% of the total non-oil revenues, through the funds that the region delivers to the federal government.”

AN AMERICAN PLOY TO IMPLEMENT THE NEW MIDDLE EAST PROJECT… WILL IRAQ SWALLOW THE BAIT?

The recent security changes at the level of military and security leadership have raised many questions about the nature and timing of these measures, and whether they fall within the context of normal administrative rotation of security positions, or whether they came in response to external directives and pressures aimed at finding alternatives capable of implementing agendas that are consistent with the American vision in the region.

According to political opinions and observations, the discussion is focused on what are said to be moves backed by American pressure to make changes affecting the Chief of Staff of the Popular Mobilization Forces, Abdul Aziz al-Muhammadawi, and the Chief of Staff of the Army, Lieutenant General Abdul Amir Rashid Yarallah, within the framework of efforts believed to be aimed at removing any obstacles to the new American project in the Middle East, which observers believe is primarily aimed at ensuring the interests of the Zionist entity and strengthening its influence in the region.

Observers believe that the United States is moving rapidly to create the necessary conditions for launching its new project in the Middle East, placing Iraq at the forefront of its priorities, given its strategic geographical location and its vast wealth and economic potential, as well as its efforts to tighten the noose and increase the siege on the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In this context, Jassim Mohammed Jaafar, a leader in the State of Law Coalition, confirmed in a statement to Al-Maalomah that “any change made by the Prime Minister in the security leadership must be done after consultation with the coordination framework and prioritizing the country’s interest in it,” explaining that “the leaders of the Popular Mobilization Forces must be close to the PMF, and it is not possible to impose leaders who are far from its orientations, as the Popular Mobilization Forces are a striking force and defender of the country, and it is necessary for them to remain, and no one has the right to dissolve them.”

Jaafar pointed out that “not everything imposed will be implemented,” referring to American pressure on Iraq to dissolve the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). He explained that “changes must be made according to a mechanism that aligns with the orientations, ideas, and requirements, and leaders cannot be imposed on the PMF who do not belong to it or belong to other groups.” He expressed his astonishment at attempts to impose American dictates on Iraq, stressing that any “security file must be an internal matter, free from any external interference.”

For his part, political analyst Atheer Al-Sharaa told Al-Maalouma that “US President Donald Trump is continuing the military escalation in the region and deploying his forces in several countries with the aim of achieving his goal of tightening the noose around Iran,” noting that Trump is working to raise the level of escalation in the region, through issuing threats and continuous bombing.”

He added that “the American escalation coincided with a move by Trump to strengthen the American military presence in countries close to Iran, especially in the region, in addition to the American movement in the military bases controlled by the United States inside Turkey.”

He explained that “Trump is using Zionist forces in Azerbaijan to achieve some of his goals, in addition to his continued efforts to control the Strait of Hormuz, which is pushing him to continue the military escalation and the continuous bombing of Iranian territory.” 

The United States, under President Donald Trump, seeks to bolster its influence in the region and bring its countries within the American sphere of influence, whether directly or indirectly. Observers believe that several Gulf states have become launching pads for American forces to carry out military operations and attacks against the Islamic Republic. Meanwhile, warnings are mounting about the extension of this approach to Iraq through attempts to integrate it into the Washington-led security system. This integration is being pursued through projects and plans presented under the guise of “security cooperation,” which are believed to aim at expanding American influence within the country and serving its regional agenda.

WHY IS THE “ASYCUDA” SYSTEM CONTROVERSIAL IN IRAQ? AN ADVISOR REVEALS THE REASONS.

Nabil Al-Khafaji, advisor to the head of the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce, revealed the reasons for the controversy surrounding the “ASYCUDA” system adopted in customs procedures, considering that the main problem lies in the difficulty of modifying data after it has been entered, despite the possibility of developing a more efficient local system.

Al-Khafaji said during a televised interview followed by Al-Sa’a Network that Iraq possesses the competencies and technical capabilities that qualify it to establish a better customs system, indicating that the ASYCUDA system is old and it is difficult to make modifications to it after the data has been recorded.

He added that “many developed countries do not adopt this system,” noting that “Iraq was able to develop a local system that links all financial benefits and procedures more efficiently.”

(Mnt Goat: we had been told in the recent past in articles that many of the developed countries do adopt and use the ASYCUDA system. So this statement is a contradiction of past news. Why?)

He explained that “the problem does not lie in entering the data, but in the mechanism for modifying it after it has been recorded,” noting that “any error in the shipment information or the goods code (HS Code) becomes complicated to correct within the system.”

Al-Khafaji explained that “errors are often caused by the data submitted by the source or exporting company, but the ASYCUDA mechanism makes dealing with these errors more difficult, which is reflected in the speed of completing customs transactions.”

(Mnt Goat: I believe all the resistance to ASYCUDA is also from one thing called CHANGE. Merchants don’t want to pay import duties. Citizens don’t like the cost of these duties passed on to them in the marketplace. The use of ASYCUDA tightens these fees and more accurately collects them, something Iraq did not have in the past.)
