March 13, 2026 Mnt Goat News Brief

Guten Tag everyone:

WOW this RV saga continues with the election cycle. The deadlock over the Maliki candidate for prime minister is finally over. Now we need the president announced by Kurdistan, then ratified by Parliament. Next is the same for the prime minister.

GIVE A GIFT TO MNT GOAT

I decided to allow everyone to give a Free-will GIFT to Mnt Goat on PayPal if you so desire. Here is the link below. Please show your appreciation for all the hard work I do.

I recommend $15-$20 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write up to eight (8) Newsletters every month. This is like a second job to me. The only way I know that people are reading and appreciating all the FACTUAL news I bring is through their appreciation. If I do not receive equal appreciation for all the hard work I do, I will simply end the Newsletter and save myself endless hours at the computer. You do want to get paid for your job, don’t you? What makes my job any different? Tell me….. I am tired of this RV saga just as you are. We are now down to addressing the Iranian militia in Iraq. This is a very good thing and had to happen sooner or later. The RV will not happen as long as Iraq is a proxy state of Iran.

 Let’s all try to chip in!

STATUS OF THE RV

There is not much current news to share today with my readers. We are still waiting for the ‘official’ announcement of al-Sudani as the nominee for prime minister. There does not seem to be any rush since parliament has already told us they do not intend to hold any sessions while the conflict with Iran is ongoing. Kurdistan is now ready to announce its candidate for president but is also holding back. This could take weeks or even longer. So I need everyone to relax and let it all play out.

Even though there is not a lot of news, I have a presentation that was given on the Frank26 conference call the other night. Kudos to Frank. I give credit when credit is due. This audio sums up most of what has been going on between Iraq and Iran since 2003 and the deception that has been played out over this reinstatement process.

Everyone interested in knowing the TRUTH should carefully listen to this audio (click on picture below). It that explains it all in a nice, easy to understand summary. We can be sure there are more US politicians that played also in this game of deception. I can assure you there are many republican and democrat names that will soon come forward in the news over this scandal between Iran and Iraq and with their currency reform. So, please listen to the audio its about sixteen minutes long and packed with information. I think it will answer many of your questions as to why the RV is taking so long.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT FOR HISTORY.

We must keep asking ourselves how could Dr Shabibi be all set to reinstatement the Iraqi dinar in 2012-2013 yet it has not reinstated even since and that was well over twelve years ago? Yes, that’s the key to unraveling the corruption in Iraq. That’s the stake in the ground to work by in our investigation. We must also concentrate our thoughts on the current Iraqi election cycle and how it is all connected to the past twenty plus years of corruption. What games are now being played by the Coordination Framework to get al-Maliki back in power and why. Why Maliki of all people?

Yes, in case you are wondering Barrack Obama had a huge role in the Iranian takeover of Iraq. Iran needed money to continue its enrichment program for the ‘bomb’. Iran needed vast amounts of money to overcome the sanctions.

I firmly believe Barrack Obama is a traitor to the United States and should be tried and hung for TREASON! But do the republicans have the guts to do it.

The evidence is overwhelming from all the damage he did to the United States while in office. I know many of my readers may be Obama fans but we all need to step back and listen to the FACTS and adjust our thinking. There is no shame from learning the FACTS and how these changes from Obama era affected our lives and what we must do to fix it today.

These issues go beyond politics. The Iranian issue is only the beginning. These disastrous middle east policies were the Obama assurances to Iran that they can be allowed to continue their Islamic / Communistic spread throughout the world and to ensure it success. Obama supported the development of the nuclear threat from Iran. Be careful what he says, as he is good at deception. He always says what his public wants  to hear and then does something else. The nuclear treaty was just a coverup, a backdrop from his administration to ‘pretend’ to care about the nuclear threat and to stop it. He needed to get public support for his next re-election and so he used the nuclear issues with Iran to do it. He also used the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq in the same terms for his campaign for re-election regardless of the consequences. Oh… but he knew the withdrawal would create a gap in security for Iraq and it was not coincidental that ISIS later entered Iraq. The intelligence was already strong telling his administration this could happen. And who was the prime minister at that time- al-Maliki.

Many of us may say these were just ‘bad presidential policies’ but I am here today to tell you they were intentional, coordinate policies to support Iran in Iraq and to allow Iran to continue its efforts in building the ‘bomb’.

It was only through Trump that the ‘real’ threat was recognized and the nuclear treaty shown to be nothing more than a scam. President Trump is also exposing the proxy Iranian government in Iraq and trying to free the people from it. This is really what this latest election in Iraq is all about. The question is – will Iraq be able to break free from Iran after all.

WHAT WAS IN THE NEWS 9 YEARS AGO? DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER?

I know memories are short, so let’s review what was in the news during the Obama era. How did this ultimately effect Iraq and our long-awaiting reinstatement?

OBAMA PAID IRAN $1.7B, TWO DAYS AFTER $400M CASH PAYMENT

TRUTH OR DARE…..

Oh… Obama knew what he was doing in sending money to Iran and now we are paying the price for the consequences from it. How dare the democrats apposed this current conflict with Iran to destroy this regime and its nuclear ambitions, but they do and we have to wonder just what side they are on?

What else is in the news?

In an interesting article titled “REVEALS WHY WASHINGTON REJECTED MOJTABA KHAMENEI” we learn why Washington rejects the chosen new leader for Iran.

 On Tuesday, the United States’ special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Wittkopf, revealed the reasons for his country’s rejection of Mojtaba Khamenei succeeding his father as Supreme Leader in Iran. “If the new leader of Iran follows the same path as his father, this is a problem for President Trump,” Witkoff said in a television interview monitored by Shafaq News Agency.

________________________________________

In today’s news we also get a peek at when Iraq might have its next parliament sessions to conclude their four month long, deadlocked election process in the article titled “A BREAKTHROUGH IS EXPECTED AFTER EID… AL-MOUSSAWI OUTLINES A ROADMAP TO OVERCOME THE POLITICAL DEADLOCK.

Al-Moussawi told the Information Agency that “political forces are currently holding intensive consultations to agree on a roadmap to extricate the country from the crisis,” noting that “expectations point to a breakthrough in the selection of the president and ministers immediately after the Eid holiday.”

Al-Moussawi clarified that “resolving these constitutional requirements is no longer a political luxury but an urgent necessity to protect Iraq’s security and stability in light of regional challenges,” emphasizing that “the national decision must prioritize the public interest to overcome the current political stalemate.”

_______________________________________

In the following article titled “100 TRILLION DINARS HELD IN HOMES: WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS FUEL A “CASH ECONOMY,” BUT THE CENTRAL BANK OFFERS REASSURANCE.” we learn that the amount of cash outside of the Iraqi banking system has increased recently from about 80 trillion dinars to over 100 trillion. Yes, its in the news again and still a concern for the Iraqi economy. But like we learned today about why the currency reform is delayed we can see this these concerns are manifested too in holding up the development of the Iraqi economy. So somehow there must be a breakthrough also in this effort to retrieve this cash to liquify the banks. I quote from the article – “Experts point to the existence of a large cash mass outside the banking system, saying: “The cash mass in Iraq amounts to about 100 trillion Iraqi dinars, which is equivalent to 75 to 76 billion dollars according to data from the Central Bank of Iraq at the beginning of 2026,” indicating that “about 70 to 90 percent of this cash is outside the banking system and in homes, which leads to a weakening of the credit role of banks.”

The article also points out that “this also contributes to increasing the cash economy, as citizens keeping their money outside banks leads to an increase in cash circulation outside the banking system, which reduces the state’s ability to monitor financial and tax activity and the movement of funds that may be directed towards terrorism, support for extremist and terrorist groups, or corruption.”

So, now that we know about some of the importance of having this cash in the banking system, what is the CBI going to do about it to fix the problem? Again, I am telling you that the only fix is to revalue the dinar over the dollar and expire these large three zero notes. This will drive the citizens to turn in this cash. However, at the same time the CBI must also implement the digital dinar and allow for its use. So, again this article is telling us this project to delete the zeros is way overdue. This reluctance to do it is political and is we know why now it is being held up. Please go listen to the audio above from Frank26 conference call and presented here today under the title “SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT FOR HISTORY”.

SUMMARY:

After today’s Newsletter I hope all my readers have a really good idea now about what is holding up the currency reform process in Iraq. I would rather not have anyone making statements alluding to questions as to what is holding up the RV/reinstatement. We all know why now what the problem is and the plot to hold it up. Are we smart enough to accept it or complain about it. There is a tremendous opportunity under the current president Trump administration to finally get this currency reform project done. We can see the writing is on the wall to reinstate the dinar but these Iranian issues must resolved first if the US is going to work with Iraq to rebuild its economy. Trump is not about to have American companies come into Iraq at the level needed to support the massive rebuilding of their economy without security and stability. We can clearly see these Iranian issues are coming to the forefront now and being exposed for what they really are. This is a good thing, yet, a VERY GOOD thing! We must not also forget about the prophetic words spoken by God about this abundance and prosperity that is coming our way. He says to be patient, and I believe this reinstatement is part of it. Remember that this reinstatement has to happen and the Iranian politicians know that when it does it shuts down their goose that lays the golden eggs. This is why they have been fighting it and not moving ahead on it, as they should.

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

PRAYING WITH SINCERITY

Many may ask why their prayers are not being answered. Our new Shepard in Rome Pope Leo XIV has given us some direction.

You can purchase a nice pair of Rosary Beads here to pray:

                                         

These prophecies are more important now more 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 prophet:  Julie Green

“More People Around President Trump Will Be Removed “

Go to the 17:25 mark for the prophecy.  From Mar 6th.  

  • Pam Bondi will not stay as the AG for much longer.
  • More Rhinos will be exposed and removed from the Trump administration.
  • VP JD Vance will soon start to show his true self and it will be obvious he is not the man to lead this nation after Trump
  • These three-letter intelligence agencies will be totally gutted to get rid of any snakes against this country
  • Proof will come out of former president Barrack Obama and how he was orchestrating the assassination attempt in Butler, PA against Trump
  • Many more assassins are waiting in the shadows waiting for the green light to take their shot at the president

CALLS FOR THE TRUMP ADMIN TO ‘FINISH’ IRAN’S MILITARY

Dumb founded, ridiculous and almost to a point of brainless allegations from some democrats politicians that Iran was not a threat to the US and so why attack it. These kinds of statements pose a deep question of whether the democrats actually know what the hell is going on in the middle east, at home and with the ongoing War Against Terrorism.

If I remember correctly, they are the party that let millions of illegal immigrants into the US through their UN Agenda 2030 open boarder policies. Along with the immigrant came unvetted militia terrorist groups. These groups could be triggered, and probably will be triggered, at sometime soon to conduct operations in the US.

What will the democrats have to say when their neighborhoods are attacked and innocent people are killing in their districts? What then? Will they continue with their dumb founded rhetoric. Of course, is all about hatred for Trump and not even thinking about the security of the US. I don’t know about you but I am getting a bit tired of this stupidity and rhetoric towards Trump. It has gotten to the point that it does not even make any common sense anymore. We are not that stupid!

Midterm voting is coming up and we must THINK, THINK about what party we want to present us. Is it a party of fantasy or a party of reality we want in these house seats?

Just so you know I absolutely DO NOT adhere to high-risk investments where you can lose it all in a flash. Look at it this way – you are going to have all this money from your dinar exchange. Then why blow it! Most of us investors waited decades for this RV to happen and so why would you even think about pissing is all away in some high-risk gamble of an investment. Yes, there are going to be scammers out there but let’s talk about legitimate investment opportunities only. These scammers can suck you dry and there is not a damned thing you can do about it.

Go to a legitimate wealth manager associated with your bank. Let the licensed experts advise you. Please, please stay away from idiots like MarkZ, TNT Tony, Bruce (on the Big Stupid Call), etc. , etc. Go to professionals.

She added that “the meeting witnessed discussions on vital issues, foremost among them the axis of maximizing public revenues.” The minister stressed “the need to intensify efforts and push towards enhancing non-oil revenues in accordance with a modern vision that adopts digital transformation.” She stressed “the importance of joint coordination between the ministry’s departments towards a comprehensive structural reform that ensures the sustainability of financial resources and directs them towards the most important development sectors.”

REVEALS WHY WASHINGTON REJECTED MOJTABA KHAMENEI

On Tuesday, the United States’ special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Wittkopf, revealed the reasons for his country’s rejection of Mojtaba Khamenei succeeding his father as Supreme Leader in Iran, noting that President Donald Trump’s administration is waiting for notification from the Iranians to open a dialogue with it.

“If the new leader of Iran follows the same path as his father, this is a problem for President Trump,” Witkoff said in a television interview monitored by Shafaq News Agency.

He pointed out that “Trump is ready for dialogue, but will it be fruitful with the Iranians or not?”, stressing that “Trump has drawn a red line, which is that Iran cannot possess a nuclear weapon.”

He added, “Let’s see if the Iranians want to talk. We have almost completely destroyed their uranium enrichment capability.” Witkov denied that Russia had provided Iran with any intelligence on US military assets, while suggesting that he would visit Israel next week to discuss options for military action against Iran.

100 TRILLION DINARS HELD IN HOMES: WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS FUEL A “CASH ECONOMY,” BUT THE CENTRAL BANK OFFERS REASSURANCE.

Confidence in the Iraqi banking sector is facing a critical test. While an economist warns that restricting withdrawals is fueling a “cash economy” and hoarding 100 trillion dinars in homes, the Central Bank rushed in an extraordinary session to reassure the markets, stressing the strength of the financial system and its ability to manage liquidity, in an attempt to bridge the gap between precautionary policies and depositors’ fears.

Loss of confidence in banks

Economic expert Haider Abdullah Asfour told Al-Alam Al-Jadeed on Tuesday (March 10, 2026) that “the inability of citizens to withdraw their money in full from banks causes significant damage to the banking sector and the economy in general,” explaining that “this is mainly due to the weakness of those in charge of this sector, their lack of experience, and the confusion in dealing with crises, which greatly affects the work of banks.”

Local news sites reported on Monday that Rafidain and Rasheed banks are suffering from a severe liquidity crisis and a shortage of cash, with a clear decline in the funds available within them. Branches of the two banks have begun asking customers to wait or return later to receive their money in full, while some branches are providing part of the required amount and postponing the delivery of the rest.

Asfour explains that “one of the most prominent of these damages is the loss of confidence in the banking sector, as when a citizen cannot freely withdraw his money, he loses confidence in banks, which leads citizens to refrain from depositing their money in banks and prefer to keep cash at home instead of in banks.”

It is believed that “weak confidence also leads to a decline in bank deposits, as citizens begin to gradually withdraw their money from banks, which leads to a decrease in the volume of deposits and weakens the banks’ ability to lend and invest.”

Cash economy

He points out that “this also contributes to increasing the cash economy, as citizens keeping their money outside banks leads to an increase in cash circulation outside the banking system, which reduces the state’s ability to monitor financial and tax activity and the movement of funds that may be directed towards terrorism, support for extremist and terrorist groups, or corruption.”

He adds, “Among the repercussions is also the weakening of investment and development, as banks rely on deposits to finance projects, and when deposits decline, loans granted to small and medium enterprises decrease and economic growth slows down.”

Investors’ reluctance

He continues, “Restricting withdrawals also leads to damage to the reputation of the banking system locally and internationally, as it harms the reputation of banks and leads to the reluctance of foreign investors and the difficulty for banks to enter into international partnerships.”

100 trillion dinars

Expert Asfour points to the existence of a large cash mass outside the banking system, saying: “The cash mass in Iraq amounts to about 100 trillion Iraqi dinars, which is equivalent to 75 to 76 billion dollars according to data from the Central Bank of Iraq at the beginning of 2026,” indicating that “about 70 to 90 percent of this cash is outside the banking system and in homes, which leads to a weakening of the credit role of banks.”

Asfour calls on decision-makers and those in charge of this “sector to reconsider the policies followed in a way that serves the Iraqi economy and the national interest and does not harm the interests of citizens and their confidence in the banking system.”

Iraqi market

The economist points out that “regional conditions, including the war between the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other, and what is related to the Strait of Hormuz and the halt in oil production, as well as the banks depositing about 117 trillion dinars with the Central Bank, in addition to the banks’ fears of the rise in the price of the dollar against the dinar, are all factors that have confused the Iraqi market.”

It also points to “practical problems faced by those dealing with banks, such as contractors who have payment vouchers issued by certain ministries and deposited with banks, but they face difficulty in receiving their money due to the lack of liquidity, which casts doubt on the banks’ ability and weakens confidence in them.”

Central Bank reassures

The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed on Monday that it continues to perform its constitutional and legal responsibilities in protecting monetary and financial stability and maintaining the strength and integrity of the banking system in Iraq.

The bank stated in a statement received by “Al-Alam Al-Jadeed” that the Central Bank’s Board of Directors held an extraordinary session to follow up on current economic and financial developments, review the most prominent macroeconomic indicators, and assess future expectations in light of local and international developments and the challenges or opportunities they may present to the national economy.

The statement added that during the meeting, the council conducted a comprehensive assessment of the monetary and financial market conditions, including an analysis of liquidity levels in the banking system and developments in the money supply, as well as a review of the levels of foreign reserves at the central bank.

The Council also reviewed financial stability indicators and the performance of the banking sector, in addition to monitoring foreign trade and payment flows, while assessing potential risks associated with regional and international economic variables and their potential repercussions on the Iraqi economy.

The council discussed a number of possible economic and financial scenarios for the next phase, focusing on how to enhance the flexibility of monetary policy and the sustainability of financial stability, and ensure the banking system’s ability to respond efficiently to the demands of economic activity.

Temporary shocks

Asfour affirms that “building a successful banking system requires an integrated and modern system that serves all parties,” stressing “the need to adopt economic policies that enhance confidence among investors and depositors instead of weakening it.”

He warns that “banks may be able to withstand temporary shocks, but they are required to look at the long term, enhance confidence, attract funds and investments, and encourage the localization of funds within banks through appropriate incentives and benefits, which will contribute to bringing the large monetary mass into the banking system and supporting financial stability in the country.”

Media sources revealed earlier (February 15, 2026) that the government was forced to withdraw about 20 trillion dinars from Al-Rafidain Bank, in addition to between 7 and 8 trillion dinars from Al-Rasheed Bank, as well as withdrawing about 7 billion dollars from another bank, along with sums of money from industrial and agricultural banks, in order to cover salaries during the past months.

A BREAKTHROUGH IS EXPECTED AFTER EID… AL-MOUSSAWI OUTLINES A ROADMAP TO OVERCOME THE POLITICAL DEADLOCK.

Member of Parliament, Mukhtar al-Moussawi, called on political forces Wednesday to prioritize the national interest to break the political deadlock, amidst high-level political activity aimed at making strategic decisions concerning both domestic and international affairs.

Al-Moussawi told the Information Agency that “the region is passing through a dangerous security juncture that necessitates the swift formation of a fully empowered government.” He explained that “the current impasse and the halt in oil exports necessitate the presence of an executive authority capable of confronting the rapidly escalating economic repercussions.”

He added that “political forces are currently holding intensive consultations to agree on a roadmap to extricate the country from the crisis,” noting that “expectations point to a breakthrough in the selection of the president and ministers immediately after the Eid holiday.”

Al-Moussawi clarified that “resolving these constitutional requirements is no longer a political luxury but an urgent necessity to protect Iraq’s security and stability in light of regional challenges,” emphasizing that “the national decision must prioritize the public interest to overcome the current political stalemate.”

  1. Hi MG, just a quick question regarding the ‘oil contracts’. You mentioned earlier that the max would be 20mil, is that 20 mil dinar to exchange or 20 mil us dollars received? At $28.50 per dinar, what is the max we can take to the bank. I know it is a dumb question but you are used to those by now, lol. Thank you in advance for all you do for us.

    1. You should refer to your notes. MG has made this clear time and time and time again. At this stage, you should absolutely know the answer and be confident in it. In no way, shape or form has MG ever stated that there is a cap on how much to exchange at the bank. Ever.

  5. Hello MG, hope you are well, thank you for your post, I must bring something to light in that the “excuse” as to why they haven’t moved forward with the PTDZ’s is the black market price of the dollar is a ruse. That is the official “excuse” they are telling everyone, as that excuse is impossible to accomplish without some major changes on the behalf of the CBI. I will explain: the definition of a black market is a market that can not be controlled by official or government institutions, so by definition they can not do anything about the black market rate as it is outside obviously of the control of the CBI or GOI, secondly a black market works off of the principle of supply and demand, so the only way to lower the price of the dollar is to increase supply of dollars to the black market, but that is contrary to the goals of the CBI as they are trying to de dollarize the markets, and not to mention the U.S. Treasury would not allow that in the first place as the extra dollars would end up in Iran, so as you can see, that is just the official excuse, not a real reason, that reason remains to be seen.

Want to stop the black market, move the rate to 1 dinar = $1.10-1.20, put it on forex, bring out the lower denoms,give the Iraqis 30-45 days to get their three 0 dinar into the bank and after that they are no good in country.

  6. Could there now be a sense of urgency to delete the zeros due to a very recent article? I will quote the entire article below:

    ” A leading Iraqi economist has predicted that US President Donald Trump’s pressure to reduce oil prices will harm the Iraqi economy, and could lead to a devaluation of the Iraqi dinar.

    In a post on Facebook, Dr Nabil Jaafar Al-Marsoumi, former Professor of Economics at Basra University, and member of the Advisory Board of the Iraqi Economists Network (IEN), said:

    Following Trump’s demand for Saudi Arabia and OPEC to reduce oil prices to provide cheap energy and expedite the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war, OPEC Plus’s abandonment of its cuts amounting to 4.650 million barrels will be implemented within a few weeks. Oil prices will decrease as Trump planned, and oil revenues for oil-exporting countries will decline.

    “However, the greatest harm will be to Iraq. Although its production will increase by approximately 220,000 barrels per day, the drop in oil prices to 60 dollars will put Iraqi finances in severe distress, as it financially means a reduction in Iraqi oil revenues by about 15 billion dollars, which will need to be secured through domestic borrowing.

    “If prices drop to 50 dollars, devaluing the dinar will become one of the important options to increase public revenues denominated in dinars to reduce the deficit gap in the general budget!”

    1. consider that Trump does know the oil prices needed for usa profitable production of oil and oil products, seems like $76+ is necessary for a profit margin, so a price below that level will actually hurt our small oil producers across the usa. USA is also pumping oil out of iraq as recent reports indicate ongoing negotiations to continue working iraqi fields. So it’s in the world’s best interest, as opec seems to also understand, as they try to set the price slightly below that level to curtail non opec production as their costs of production is considerably lower (-$20), and to me it’s very interesting how the contract rates are just above that level based on $30 deals between nations (china ?) and iraq.

  8. I’m concerned about the recent articles concerning the printing of new large currency Dinar notes that have enhanced security features and brail.

    If the CBI is supposed to delete the zeros and issue lower denominated notes in the near future, why would they spend a lot of money printing expensive new notes for mass circulation? It only makes sense to wait?

    I’m concerned that the project to delete the zeros may be further away than we like to believe.

  10. Thank you MG.. Yes its a process that has taken all kind of rabbit trails and holes over the last 15 years. Still am very perplexed why Sudani would say he would give value to the dinar before the end of the year. Was he really that stupid to make statements that he could not deliver. Needless to say confidence has been lost by many investors in Sudani after the tremendous progress had been made over the last 15 months. Yes we are in February, so much for January, can your contact give a reasonable probable response that this will happen in 25, or are we looking at the magical January 1 date again, that should not be to hard to do. We always hear the statement we have never been this close before over and over, so far that means nothing. Again thank for all your efforts, blessings on your business. We Wait!!!!

    US Secretary of State visits Middle East after Trump proposal to control Gaza

    US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will visit Israel and Arab countries in mid-February, a State Department official said, in his first visit to the Middle East after revealing President Donald Trump’s widely condemned proposal to move Palestinians out of Gaza.

    A senior State Department official said late on Thursday that Rubio would travel to the Munich Security Conference and to Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia from Feb. 13 to 18.

    Rights groups have denounced Trump’s proposal to permanently displace Palestinians from Gaza as part of U.S. control of the territory.

    Rubio said on Wednesday that Palestinians in the enclave would have to move to other places “temporarily” while it is rebuilt after the war.

    The US official stated that Rubio will discuss during the tour the situation in Gaza and the repercussions of the attacks launched by Hamas on October 7, 2023 on Israel, and will continue Trump’s approach in trying to resolve the current situation in the region.

  17. I know when Jesus gives me insight and in the past and not very often mind you, but he has given me visions and dreams throughout my life. One of the purposes of the Holy Spirit is to show us things to come. This is one of those moments. I will say that every vision the Lord has given me he has brought to pass in its due time. I submit this here for encouragement. So, to the glory of God here now is the dream:

    I had a dream, 5 days ago of being on a boat, fishing. We were fishing intently yet we weren’t catching anything and after a while one of my friends decided he wanted to quit and sail away. He happened to be at the controls of the boat at the time. At that point suddenly I hooked something in the water. As we began to boat away what I had hooked came nearly to the surface. It was a “Samsonite” suitcase, and it submerged again. Within moments though the suitcase reappeared, and I got it on board. You could tell it had been buried in the sediment a long time. I opened it to discover it full of stacks of US money. I also noticed that everybody onboard the boat was a dinar investor; All of the friends that I had introduced the currency to throughout the years were there. Everybody got their share.

    That is the end of the dream. I think we are near the end of this.

  21. In order to eliminate the Iranian influence in Iraq and to truly achieve security and stability, Sudani and the U.S. will have to resolve the significant issue of the continued presence of the PMF (Popular Mobilization Forces).

    I will quote part of the link below:

    ” This country has effectively been hijacked by the often-overlooked Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a 235,000-strong militia network.

    Iraq itself is playing an exasperating double game. The PMF has been allowed to establish a parallel power structure, officially sanctioned by the Iraqi state, which actually provides most of the PMF’s annual budget of $3 billion, even though the PMF operates under the control of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

    Tehran itself also funds and directs some of the most powerful units within the PMF, including Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, Kata’ib Hezbollah, and Harakat al-Nujaba, all of which have been involved in attacks on U.S. forces and allies. The IRGC’s Quds Force provides weapons, intelligence, and ideological training, turning these militias into an extension of Iran’s regional ambitions.

    The militias have carried out systematic sectarian violence, war crimes, and attacks on U.S. forces—often with U.S.-made weapons and equipment that Iraq is providing to them.

    In this way, “the U.S. is inadvertently subsidizing groups the U.S. itself has designated as terrorist organizations by providing funding to the Iraqi government, which then channels it to these militias,” says Kenneth Pollack, former CIA analyst and former director of the Persian Gulf Affairs at the National Security Council. “

    1. Here in Canada, there is a $10,000 cash transaction threshold with regards to reporting to Fintrac but there doesn’t appear to be any limit as to the amount of the cash that can be exchanged.

      I will quote part of the Canadian related link below:

      ” 2. What is a large cash transaction

      A large cash transaction occurs when you receive $10,000 or more in cash in a single transaction.

      Cash includes:

      • coins and bank notes issued by the Bank of Canada that are intended for circulation in Canada
      • coins and bank notes of countries other than Canada
      • fiat currency

      Cash does not include:

      • other forms of funds such as cheques, money orders or other similar negotiable instruments
      • virtual currency

      3. When to submit a Large Cash Transaction Report

      You must submit a Large Cash Transaction Report to FINTRAC when you receive $10,000 or more in cash in a single transaction from a person or entity.

      If you are a foreign money services business, you must submit a report only when you receive $10,000 or more in cash in a single transaction from a person or entity in Canada.

      Note: You must submit a Large Cash Transaction Report to FINTRAC within 15 calendar days after the day on which you receive the cash.

      Foreign currency

      If you receive cash in a foreign currency, convert the amount into Canadian dollars using the exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada in effect at the time of the transaction to determine whether you have reached the reporting threshold amount of $10,000 CAD.

      If an exchange rate is not published by the Bank of Canada, then you must use the rate you establish in the normal course of your business at the time of the transaction.

      Your process for establishing an exchange rate to determine if you have reached the reporting threshold amount should be outlined in your compliance policies and procedures. “

      I will also quote part of an archived link below:

      Is there a limit on large currency exchange?

      In most countries, there are no legal limits on currency exchange.

      The UK, US, Canada, Australia, NZ and the countries in the EU have no restrictions on the maximum size of a bank-to-bank money transfer.

      There are, however, some countries such as India, China, Russia and Argentina that do restrict the movement of money (it is always easier to get the money in, than out).

      In the UK, although there are no legal barriers, the big UK banks often set their own internal daily limits for online transfers.

      Here are the daily limits of the Big Four:

      • Natwest: £25,000
      • HSBC: £50,000
      • Barclays: £50,000
      • Lloyds: £30,000

      The daily limits imposed by banks can be a problem for large currency exchange.

      If your transfer is over the limits, it may end up costing you more time and hassle, as well as transfer fees, if you then have to make several transfers.

      An easy workaround is to use a currency broker (also called a money transfer company) instead.

      Currency brokers don’t usually have any daily limits, so you might find them to be the best way to exchange large amounts of currency. “

    2. “cash” must be different from “exchange”.

      Every western bank limits the amount of local currency you can get from a transaction (eg, a withdrawal, cashing a check, a currency exchange). Few have a limit on what you can deposit.

      if you cashed a million-dollar check, you would not leave the bank with a million dollars cash. You might get a few thousand in your pocket but the bulk would be in an account. Same for currency exchange.

  29. ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – There is currently no decision an the resumption of the Kurdistan Region’s oil export through Turkey’s Ceyhan, Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources told The New Region on Monday.

    “No new decisions have been made and no time has been set,” the ministry said.

    This comes as Iraqi Minister of Oil Hayyan Abdul Ghani told state media on Monday that the pipeline to export oil through Turkey’s Ceyhan is ready and exports could resume within two days. 

    The minister added that the resumption is now pending Turkey’s approval.

    —————-

    This means the oil will not flow anytime soon between Kurdistan and Turkey.

    Are we surprised? Not at all. This is middle east – not western Europe. We can

    now expect a very long delay. I really wonder why Turkey now also will drag

  31. ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Iraqi oil minister confirmed on Wednesday that Baghdad has recently struck an agreement with Erbil to restart the Kurdistan Region’s oil exports after nearly two years of suspension. The Kurdish government announced the deal earlier this week. 

    “We held a series of meetings with the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Region, which resulted in important understandings,”  Iraq’s Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul Ghani told the state media on Wednesday.

    “We have reached an agreement that guarantees joint cooperation for the operation of the Turkish port pipeline,” he added.

    The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) on Sunday said it had struck a deal with the federal government to restart the Kurdish oil exports.

    “An agreement was reached and confirmed to resume the export of the Region’s oil according to available quantities. Today, a joint technical team was formed to inspect the oil pipeline and determine its readiness,” the KRG’s team negotiating the matter with Baghdad said in a statement.

    Iraqi oil minister said on Monday that the Iraq-Turkey pipeline, designated for the resumption of the Kurdistan Region’s oil exports through Turkey’s Ceyhan port, was ready to use.

    He expressed hope that “exports will resume within the next two days” after the resolution of “some technical issues.”

    Oil exports from the Kurdistan Region through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline were suspended in March 2023 after a Paris-based arbitration court ruled in favor of Baghdad against Ankara, stating that the latter had violated a 1973 pipeline agreement by allowing Erbil to begin independent oil exports in 2014.

    Before the suspension, Erbil was exporting approximately 400,000 barrels of oil per day through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline, in addition to 75,000 barrels per day from Kirkuk.

    Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani said on Wednesday that Baghdad wants to open a “new page” with the international oil companies operating in the Kurdistan Region.  This came after the federal parliament approved an amendment to the budget law, increasing the fee of oil companies operating in the Kurdish region. 

    Sudani held a phone call with the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday, emphasizing the need to accelerate the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region.

  42. Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq had previously stated during a speech he delivered at the Finance and Banking Conference and Exhibition that “the financial and banking system will witness fundamental transformations, including the decline of paper currencies and their replacement by digital payments for central banks.” He explained that “the Central Bank is moving to create its own digital currency, which will gradually replace paper transactions, as is the case with some central banks around the world.”

    Lower banknotes are already printed, the CBI counting and sorting instructions Page 4 mention Promote the circulation of small denomination banknotes, and supply the bank branches with them. Look at the page and notice every banknote is identified and see also it mentions banknotes that are small denomination and are also unidentified in the last sentence. Effective date for these instructions is Jan 2, 2025… You think they have plans? 

    CBI third initiative points out the introduction of new issues of high-quality currency to reduce the environmental impact. They’re not talking green new deal they are speaking of the monetary environment. The way you reduce it is to change the rate and introduce new banknotes, you know the notes where high resolution photocopies were provided to be unloaded on the CBI servers in Houston. Simply introducing those notes reduces the environmental impact by shrinking the amount of notes in circulation. When they say high quality, I understand that to suggest higher value besides security features. This is market sensitive news, and they deliberately attempt to be ambiguous in their descriptions.

    Someday, a cashless society will exist, but not yet. Right now, the step of the CBI is to replace the current banknotes and introduce the new lower notes. This will shrink the mass cash issue in Iraq and draw society into the banking system. Iraq does not have the infrastructure to go all out CBDC and won’t for a long time. Start looking at the idea as a hybrid system Electronic and cash existing at the same time. That should sound familiar to all of us. Don’t let this electronic dinar talk scare you. There is nothing to fear.

    Also, Trump said no CBDC for the US dollar. We all understand the control central banks would have, its sovereignty issue and Trump was very clear and spoke numerous times on the subject.
