May 1, 2025 Mnt Goat News Brief

Guten Tag everyone:

I have some news for you today.

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.

Since 2013, I have taken my own time from my gasthaus business to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to spend my time doing all this. My time is hard to find, as I have to hold down two formal jobs already due to COVID just to keep the business going. So, I do it out of charity and love with the understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. As I am saying this take time and is like a third job.

I recommend $10-$15 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write eight (8) Newsletters every month. I have to investigate the news and try to pull out the FACTS, then pull off the articles from Iraqi news channels, translate them, talk to my contact in Iraq and then write and publish the Newsletter. Do you think perhaps a little gift might show some appreciation for all this hard work? Just asking…. Still only a hand full of readers help out each month. Enough said….. The future of the Newsletter depends upon you.

 Let’s all try to chip in!

GRAPH: IRAQ IS MOVING TOWARDS THE BIG MONEY MAP

When money speaks, hesitation falls silent. Iraq is recording major investment leaps and shifting its economic compass toward digitalization with confidence that speaks the language of heavy numbers.

More news….

THE FOURTH ROUND OF IRANIAN-US NUCLEAR TALKS IN ROME ON SATURDAY.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi announced on Wednesday that the fourth round of nuclear talks with the United States, mediated by Oman, will be held in Rome on Saturday. “We will also hold a meeting with three European countries on Friday, the eve of the talks.”

France, Britain, and Germany remain party to the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, along with China and Russia.

Just in: The latest round of indirect nuclear talks between the United States and Iran mediated by Muscat, scheduled for Saturday, has been postponed for “logistical reasons,” Oman’s foreign minister announced.  “For logistical reasons we are rescheduling the US Iran meeting provisionally planned for Saturday May 3rd. New dates will be announced when mutually agreed.”   

STATUS OF THE RV

Welcome to May. Yes it is May already and still no RV on the contrary to what most of these idiotic intel guru idiots bring you. It is NOT all done!

The Iraqi dinar saga continues. We are waiting the hear news of a fourth Iranian deal rescheduled with the U.S., then see what comes next. Also, in the news this period we learn of the rare earth minerals deal that was finally completed with Ukraine. We also learn more about the correspondent banks working with Iraq and Iraq’s determination to be a sovereign nation and an update on the Oil and Gas law. There is nothing devastating in the news this period except that with the drop in oil prices the Iraq economy will suffer and many projects will be put on hold.  

There was a recent article about the Project to Delete the Zeros, however it was a repeat of an old articles from last year. Many of the intel gurus took it upon themselves to evaluate it. My CBI contact told me there is a high probability it will be executed this year and that is all she would tell me.

In the news….

😊We learn in the article titled “THE MAJORITY OF IRAQ’S FINANCIAL ASSETS ARE IN US DOLLARS. AL-SUDANI’S ADVISOR DISCUSSES LINKING IRAQI BANKS TO US BANKS.” On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, spoke about the repercussions of linking Iraqi banks to American banks.

“As long as Iraq is within the dollar zone like other OPEC countries, with the US dollar constituting the majority of its financial assets from oil revenues, it is in our country’s interest to deal equally with the US commercial banking system as a global correspondent power for national banks, especially when dealing with more than one US bank operating globally (Global Bank) that has major global branches and arms, ” Saleh said in a press statement followed by Al-Jabal.

This news is of course fantastic news, as it is showing us that Iraq is slowly getting back to normalcy and the final nail on the currency platform is done. We must think of why the currency auction was set up in the first place and know it had to entirely end someday. I believe this day is coming in June and this article in the news now shows us more proof of this effort.

☹In another article today titled “THE IRAQI ECONOMY IS UNDER THREAT. AN EXPERT WARNS OF THE REPERCUSSIONS OF RELYING ON OIL” once again we hear news of the necessity to get off the “rentier” oil economy for Iraq and diversify its revenues. I have talked many times about the fall of oil as the main energy source. It may take a bit more time but when these three new sources of energy surface (as the prophets tell us they soon will) this will kill the oil industry forever (as we know it today). But remember folks don’t go off half-cocked. Things take time and don’t move at your pace. But these changes will occur and now we are hearing more and more the reasons to get off oil. These changes are close at hand.

😊Many of us investors are afraid that Iraq will go to “hell in the hen basket” should the U.S. military completely pull out of Iraq again, as in 2011. This fear is justified and the Iraqi state knows it themselves. The past big push was by the Iranian influencers in Iraq who want Iraq as their puppet state. But this is all changing. Iraq is moving away from the puppet state of Iran. We read in the article titled “TRUMP RECEIVES RECOMMENDATION TO EXTEND US FORCES IN IRAQ UNTIL 2029” that president Trump receives recommendation to extend US forces in Iraq until 2029. Shafaq News/ The New Line Institute, an American think tank specializing in political and military affairs, recommended that the Trump administration extend the presence of US forces in Iraq until 2029, warning of the danger of a sudden withdrawal to the capabilities of Iraqi security forces and efforts to combat ISIS. So, as an investor I would not worry about this 2011 situation occurring again. Remember this is what eventually led to ISIS moving into Iraq and the ISIS war in Iraq. A very bad move by the Obama administration, as Obama was more concerned about keeping a campaign promise in 2011 to get re-elected than he was for the security of Iraq. But this is what the “swamp” does. They only think about themselves and every move is all about their next election. We all know the devastation this very bad decision caused the Iraqi people and the delay in what we want – the RV. Do you realize this caused a delay since. This ISIS war also changed the foreign policy towards Iraq to what we have today and president Trump inherited.

😊However, Iraq is still trying to climbing the uphill battle out of the hole to gain their “full” national sovereignty status. Actions speak louder than words. In the article titled “FOREIGN MINISTER: IRAQ IS COMMITTED TO PRESERVING ITS NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY,” we find the Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein affirmed on Wednesday that Iraq is committed to preserving its national sovereignty. A statement by the Foreign Ministry received by (Al-Youm Al-Akhbariya) stated that “Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein held a roundtable with American media outlets at the Iraqi Embassy in Washington, D.C., to review the most prominent regional and international developments and highlight Iraqi foreign policy priorities, stressing “the Iraqi government’s keenness to strengthen partnership with the United States in the political, security, and economic fields.” I want to add that taking up this new foreign policy with the U.S. under the Trump administration will be the most opportunity Iraq will have to move ahead to financial freedom. To me Iraq will not be free until they obtain the full DFI funds and are able to reinvest this money as they desire, such as in sovereign funds. The option to get off the petro-dollar may not happen until president Trump can get the US off the oil backed dollar and back to the gold standard. We can see this now occurring soon. Also Iraq will need their currency returned to them and traded on a global scale. Remember this is the road to the RV.

☹As investors we have also been watching for the Oil and Gas law/referendum required by the new Iraqi constitution of 2005. Depending on the day of the week or the hour of the day the news on this topic can switch back and forth. One day we hear it is being passed on to parliament and the next day we hear it will not even be considered in the current session. See article titled “TALABANI’S PARTY: THE OIL AND GAS LAW IS OFF THE AGENDA FOR THE CURRENT SESSION, DESPITE THE GOVERNMENT’S PROMISES.” A member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), Burhan Sheikh Raouf, confirmed on Thursday that the oil and gas law will not be passed anytime soon, as the current parliamentary term is approaching its end, despite the urgent need to regulate this vital issue. Raouf told Al-Maalouma, “The current session of Parliament is in its final days, and it is unlikely that the oil and gas law will be passed during the remaining period, even though the draft law has been in existence for nearly twenty years.”

God keeps telling his prophets that the abundance and prosperity is coming. I keep asking when just like all of you. Yes, I am also frustrated at times as our gasthaus can use the funds to clean up some outstanding bills. So, we must continue to pray and pray hard. If you are paying attention to the news from the first 100 days of the Trump administration this gives us HOPE. We have already seen the seeds being sown for the harvest only now we have to watch them grow and be patient.

______________________________

What can we as investors do right now?

• Pray and pray that nothing will mess this up….
• Be very patient….
• Do not sell your dinar….  
• No more intel guru talk….
• No more NESARA / GESARA crazy talk
• Stop listening to all these idiots as they are only confusing you more and more (especially TNT and “The Big Call” idiots.)
• Don’t over speculate and set unjustified expectations

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

                                             Just the FACTS!

______________________________________________

These prophecies 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 this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. 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 more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.

God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.

These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do 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.

From God to the PROPHET:  Julie Green

“Murders and Forced Suicides By the Establishment Are All About To Be Exposed”

Prophecy can be found at the 16:52 mark.  April 27^th.   

_______________________________________

HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?

Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.

Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.

Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.

This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9^th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

________________________________________

PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.

How is all this related to the RV? Do you want to know how the Iraqi dinar fits into the total plan? Bessent talking about the balance in the financial system folks! Did my CBI contact not tell us the RV was going to be used to infuse lots of liquidity into the system but only under a balanced” system. I couldn’t hardly believe that he even used these exact terms. To me putting currencies on a “level playing field” is part of the balancing process. Bessent even mentions this in this speech and interview below. Go figure! Everyone should take the time to listen to these videos today. Folks, this is the plan. Yes, everyone always wants to know what is holding up the RV, well here you have it folks. This is part of it.

IS BRIGITTE MACRON REALLY A MAN?: ONE COINCIDENCE TOO MANY 

Please go watch a four part series sponsored by Candice Owens on what she found to answer this question. First of all why would anyone even ask this question.

You can visit the Mnt Goat Archives April 10th Newsletter here to continue watching the entire series of FACTS. Remember just because the deep state establishes a personality to use does not mean it is the background of the person in question. In other words, Brigitte’s past may be the past of someone else and just used to establish her/his credibility. The “official” records show Brigitte had a prior marriage and two children. No one is questioning these facts but they are actually talking about another person not Brigitte. You see, they take on the personality of someone else. They even photo shop pictures. They are good at this. However, they are getting caught now and the game is over. Just like in the U.S. with Clintons and Obamas they need to use the family structure to get into the hearts of the citizens to vote for them. Folks, it is all a lie and facade.

______________________________________________

  Pray, Pray, Pray & Pray some more!

Please try to remember to pray each and every day. In Hebrews 11:6, it underscores this principle of why we pray: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

You don’t have to be Catholic to pray….lol..lol.. As a Christian, praying the rosaries for me is my way to pray and has had a significant impact on my life and focus during this Easter season and throughout the year. I find it is good to remember the Stations of the Cross during lent and what our savior did for us. In know many of you may not be Catholics or even Christians but try to take a different approach this Easter. Try to see what all the fuss is about Christ. Put yourself in Christ shoes (or should I say sandals) as an ordinary person in today’s world. You can quickly see that the nature of man has not changed very much and if Christ were born today, many would probably try to crucify him. Have we not learned anything?

We all know something has gone terribly wrong with our nation. A supernatural battle is taking place to determine the fate of America. In just twelve minutes a day you help bring forth a divine intervention to save our country using this book. Let us not forget to fast, meditate and pray for the salvation of America. There is an organization that is taking on this endeavor through helpful prayer guidance. This is what I plan to do. How about you?

Anyone can join the hundreds of thousands already involved in this rapidly-growing prayer movement. It’s easy to get started:

THE IRAQI ECONOMY IS UNDER THREAT. AN EXPERT WARNS OF THE REPERCUSSIONS OF RELYING ON OIL

Economic expert Faleh Al-Zaidi warned on Tuesday of the repercussions of Iraq’s continued reliance on oil revenues without taking actual steps to diversify the national economy, stressing that this approach makes the country vulnerable to fluctuations in global markets.

Al-Zaidi explained in a statement to the Al-Maalouma Agency that “oil revenues are by nature subject to fluctuations in the international market and are beyond the direct control of the Iraqi government,” noting that “global political factors often affect oil prices.” 

He pointed out that “the trade policies pursued by former US President Donald Trump, including the imposition of tariffs, contributed to an economic recession that affected several countries, including Iraq.”

Al-Zaidi added that “the success of the ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran will have a positive impact on the region, but it has two contrasting effects on Iraq. On the one hand, lifting sanctions on Iran may contribute to increasing oil production and improving gas supplies, which would address some of the electricity shortage problems in Iraq. On the other hand, the increase in oil supply may lead to lower prices.”
He stressed the need to “diversify the Iraqi economy and develop alternative sources of income,” warning that “continued reliance on oil will force the country to resort to borrowing if global prices decline.”

It’s worth noting that Iraqi oil prices fell today in conjunction with a decline in global oil prices as investors lowered their expectations for demand growth due to the ongoing trade war. Iraq has witnessed significant volatility in oil prices since Trump imposed tariffs on most countries around the world, causing a global economic recession.

IRAQ INVITES MIKE WALTZ TO VISIT BAGHDAD AND SEE THE POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS ON THE GROUND.

Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein invited US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz on Tuesday to visit Iraq and observe the “developments” taking place in the country on the security, political, and economic levels. The Foreign Minister meets with the US National Security Advisor at the White House to discuss regional issues and bilateral relations.

On Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz received Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein. The meeting was attended by Eric Trager, Middle East and North Africa Policy Officer, and Matt Vilansky, Director of the Iraq and Syria Office.

At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Waltz welcomed the Minister’s visit, stressing the importance of continuing dialogue and coordination between the two countries.

For his part, Minister Fuad Hussein gave a detailed presentation on his visit to Washington, outlining its objectives and the outcomes of the bilateral meetings he held with senior US officials.

The two sides discussed the security situation in the region and current challenges. They also discussed the progress of the ongoing negotiations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, emphasizing the importance of reaching agreed-upon outcomes consistent with President Donald Trump’s policy of resolving regional issues through peaceful means.

On another topic, the meeting addressed the issue of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and the outstanding issues between oil companies on the one hand, and the regional and federal governments on the other.

The two sides also reviewed developments in Syria and ways to support regional stability.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Minister Fuad Hussein affirmed that the security situation in Iraq is stable and secure, noting that Baghdad is preparing to receive Arab leaders on May 17th during the Arab Summit.

He also invited the US National Security Advisor and his team to visit Iraq and observe the positive developments the country is witnessing on the security, political, and economic levels.

TRUMP RECEIVES RECOMMENDATION TO EXTEND US FORCES IN IRAQ UNTIL 2029

Trump receives recommendation to extend US forces in Iraq until 2029Shafaq News/ The New Line Institute, an American think tank specializing in political and military affairs, recommended that the Trump administration extend the presence of US forces in Iraq until 2029, warning of the danger of a sudden withdrawal to the capabilities of Iraqi security forces and efforts to combat ISIS.

The website stated in a report translated by Shafaq News Agency, “Following a sharp regional escalation that severed ties with Iran and its proxies in the Middle East, the United States finds itself in a new strategic position in Iraq and Syria, where Iranian influence and capabilities have suffered a severe blow. With the rapid and sudden departure of the Assad regime, allied with Tehran, and the retreat of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps units and forces loyal to it during Israeli strikes, new opportunities loom for American interests in the region.”

The report added, “With Iran’s grip on Damascus and Baghdad weakening—as evidenced by a sharp decline in Iranian and Iranian-backed militia strikes on US assets and partners—the United States and its partners in the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS face fewer distractions and more room to improve the capabilities of their local partners.”

ISIS is lurking in Iraq

The report indicated that “ISIS fighters have increased their momentum in the Syrian desert in preparation for a return across the border into Iraq, a concern that has prompted the Iraqi federal government to sound the alarm and seek a long-term security partnership with the United States.” It explained that “Baghdad has already expressed initial interest in extending the US timetable for military withdrawal from Iraq, adding three years to the already vague withdrawal plan to hedge against Iran and sudden instability.”

He continued: “The United States has long viewed the rapid timetable for withdrawal from Iraq as an opportunity for Iran, ISIS, and other malign regional actors, jeopardizing regional stability and human security. Washington also has a difficult history with hasty withdrawals from counterterrorism missions.”

He noted that “decision-makers are still haunted by memories of the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, in addition to the fact that just three years after US forces concluded their combat mission and withdrew from Iraq, they found themselves returning to the country to fight a new terrorist organization that exploited the vacuum left by US forces.”

He explained that “the second Trump administration represents the beginning of an ambiguous chapter for the American forward presence in the Levant. The new administration has repeatedly expressed its desire to transfer responsibility for regional security in the Middle East to its partner, Israel, and to carry out an immediate military withdrawal. Given its skepticism about the usefulness of a small American forward presence in Iraq and Syria for Washington’s interests, it is likely that President Donald Trump will authorize a rapid withdrawal of American forces from Iraq and Syria.”

The report stressed that “policymakers in Washington and their partners abroad must assess the scenarios that will unfold following the US withdrawal, including how civilian and military missions outside the international coalition, such as the NATO mission in Iraq, will be able to survive on their own, how local forces such as the Iraqi Security Forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces will be able to repel threats from ISIS and pro-Iranian militias without US assistance, and how external actors may seek regional competition or political influence in place of a long-term US presence and partnership.”

Recommendations to stay

The report recommended that Washington seek to “diversify its security influence in Iraq beyond its military presence and capacity-building efforts with Iraqi military forces, and seek to revive cooperation in law enforcement, counternarcotics efforts, border security initiatives, and other areas of coordination.” It noted that “facing a potential US withdrawal from Iraq and Syria or an extension of the withdrawal schedule until 2029, NATO and the European Union should coordinate with Iraqi security forces to develop a strategy for their future presence in Iraq and identify gaps that their missions can fill as the fight against ISIS draws to a close.”

He noted that “with the possibility of withdrawal, the United States should seek greater coordination with other military and civilian capacity-building missions, such as the NATO mission in Iraq and the European Union civilian mission in Iraq, as a sudden US military withdrawal would make these operations vulnerable without careful planning.” He explained that “NATO and the European Union should engage in multilateral discussions with the US government, the Iraqi government, and the Kurdistan Regional Government to develop a strategy for their presence in Iraq in the wake of a potential US withdrawal.”

The US report concluded that, “With ISIS attacks and activity increasing since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024, the United States should encourage the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Iraqi federal government to cooperate with the new Syrian administration and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to increase cooperation on counterterrorism, intelligence, and security, in anticipation of the possibility of ISIS infiltration from the Syrian desert into Iraq and possibly Jordan.”

FOREIGN MINISTER: IRAQ IS COMMITTED TO PRESERVING ITS NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY.

Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein affirmed on Wednesday that Iraq is committed to preserving its national sovereignty.

A statement by the Foreign Ministry received by (Al-Youm Al-Akhbariya) stated that “Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein held a roundtable with American media outlets at the Iraqi Embassy in Washington, D.C., to review the most prominent regional and international developments and highlight Iraqi foreign policy priorities, stressing “the Iraqi government’s keenness to strengthen partnership with the United States in the political, security, and economic fields.”

He stressed that “the government is working hard to reduce dependence on imports and enhance national capabilities in the field of energy production by diversifying international partnerships and activating new agreements with a number of countries, in addition to benefiting from global expertise in the field of renewable energy and investment in associated gas.”

He explained that “the presence of American forces falls within the framework of training and advisory support missions, and not within the framework of combat, stressing Iraq’s commitment to preserving its national sovereignty, its keenness to continue security cooperation, and preventing the return of the terrorist organization ISIS, while affirming non-engagement in any regional conflicts.”

Regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza, he reiterated “Iraq’s firm position in support of calm efforts and its rejection of targeting civilians, stressing that stability in the region will not be achieved without reaching a just and comprehensive settlement.” for the Palestinian cause.”

The meeting also included discussions on developments in the nuclear negotiations with Iran, Iraqi-Syrian relations, and the importance of supporting efforts to combat terrorism and extremism in the region. In this context, according to the statement, he stressed “Iraq’s endeavor to play an effective and balanced role in its Arab and regional environment, based on the principles of mutual respect and common interests.”

THE MAJORITY OF IRAQ’S FINANCIAL ASSETS ARE IN US DOLLARS. AL-SUDANI’S ADVISOR DISCUSSES LINKING IRAQI BANKS TO US BANKS.

On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, spoke about the repercussions of linking Iraqi banks to American banks.

“As long as Iraq is within the dollar zone like other OPEC countries, with the US dollar constituting the majority of its financial assets from oil revenues, it is in our country’s interest to deal equally with the US commercial banking system as a global correspondent power for national banks, especially when dealing with more than one US bank operating globally (Global Bank) that has major global branches and arms, ” Saleh said in a press statement followed by Al-Jabal.

He pointed out that “the Central Bank of Iraq’s efforts to link national banks with major banks and financial institutions in the United States, with more than one bank that enjoys international standing, is an important means of providing economic stability and improving the investment, trade, and development climate in our country through integration with the dollar trade, banking, and investment zone, which remains one of the strongest and most important monetary zones in the world.”

 He stressed that “reducing the costs of foreign banking transactions requires direct banking cooperation with more than one American (Global) bank, and that the Central Bank of Iraq is moving in the right, open, and rapid direction in assessing its priorities to serve the stability of the national economy at the level of foreign banking transactions and implementing them with the required speed and high guarantees.”

He pointed out that “the second American bank is responsible for providing opportunities for Iraqi banks as a global correspondent bank with multiple branches and operations to quickly implement banking operations, whether in transfers or financing foreign trade for our country’s markets, without obstacles and with transparency and high governance. In addition, it provides financing and credit lines for trade and investment in Iraq, as well as benefiting from digital banking services and highly advanced international standards, which will bring our national banks to the required global level. These are factors that encourage the investment and business climate in our country at the same time, in the midst of integration and cooperation with the international banking system.”

***********************************************************************************************

TALABANI’S PARTY: THE OIL AND GAS LAW IS OFF THE AGENDA FOR THE CURRENT SESSION, DESPITE THE GOVERNMENT’S PROMISES.

A member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), Burhan Sheikh Raouf, confirmed on Thursday that the oil and gas law will not be passed anytime soon, as the current parliamentary term is approaching its end, despite the urgent need to regulate this vital issue.

Raouf told Al-Maalouma, “The current session of Parliament is in its final days, and it is unlikely that the oil and gas law will be passed during the remaining period, even though the draft law has been in existence for nearly twenty years.”

He added that “the current government, headed by Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, had promised to pass the law within the first six months of its formation, but this did not happen due to ongoing disagreements and the failure to reach a final political consensus on it.”

He pointed out that “failure to pass the law in this session will postpone the resolution of the oil and gas issue again, despite its importance in resolving the outstanding issues between Baghdad and Erbil, regulating the extraction and export process, and ensuring a fair distribution of revenues.”

More news….

THE THIRD ROUND OF NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN IRAN AND THE UNITED STATES CONCLUDED IN MUSCAT

STATUS OF THE RV

Where do I begin today with all the VERY GOOD news for this period. Lots of smiling faces. I am trying to keep this Status of the RV short and concise, but it is hard, as there is so much very good news to report to you. No, the RV has not yet happened. It is not yet over! Whoever is telling you this is an idiot. We have no word from the Central Bank of this move occurring or staged in the near future. The IQD is NOT yet trading on FOREX. Sorry, all you idiot intel gurus out there. You should all grow up and do your own diligence and research before coming out on your conference calls, YouTube and other social media with your nonsense.  

Now, let’s get to the REAL news. Yes, no fantasies or lies, just the FACTS.  

The first set of articles deal with the currency rise of the dinar over the dollar. Oh WOW! We should be all excited but please no knee-jerk reactions, at least not yet.

We should not get too excited over this news. This is not an RV. Instead, is said to be temporary and in the numerous articles today they tell you why. However, having said this, there is still great potential for an adjustment in the dinar rate and this is a good sign that the CBI is making progress with its currency reforms and its is kicking in. We witnessed so many banking and financial reforms in the past couple years. Also, I want to bring an article from the past (April 15^th) to you once again telling us the black market (parallel market) may soon be completely gone come this June 2025. Why did they tell us this? They told us this because the remaining 5% of the cash payments for imports will be moved over also to the correspondent banks, as was the other 95% last December 2024. This will finally kill the remaining 5% of the black market. Hurrah, hurrah! This had to be done and the CBI told us this years ago. It is about to be reality,,,,,, finally! 😊 I just want everyone to note how many articles we read over this effort and now it is finally going to be done.

Todays news is mostly all about the dinar as it has posted steady gains against the dollar in the parallel market in recent days, reaching 144,350 dinars per $100 (1443) in Baghdad on Saturday, compared to around 150,000 dinars per 100 (1500) a month ago.

Why is this so important?

To totally control the dollar market is important for three main reasons:

1. The US Treasury has told the CBI they must de-dollarize and control the dollar first prior to any reinstatement (free use of the dinar globally). The US Treasury has to approve the reinstatment,

2. It will prevent the corrupt practices and funneling of money to terrorist organizations (Iran),

3. The most important reason to us as investors is that reforming away from the US dollar enables the implementation of Iraq’s own currency – the dinar in international trade. This is the part that will eventually lead to a high demand for the IQD as the WTO policies kick into effect (but not yet).  

Now, I need everyone to understand something more about the news today. Iraq is excited and so should we be. I need you to see how volatile the dollar market is in Iraq. Yes, volatile right now and how it can change very suddenly when certain conditions effect it. Volatility means there can be sudden swings. But will the swings last? This is our concern and study for today. I believe the overall swing will be upward, then a large “pop”.

I am telling you this because the dinar situation can change very suddenly once the right policies are effective. This process is not going to take months or years more. Get it? Can you see it from today’s news?

Remember, we are still waiting for that second in-country “official” rate change by the CBI close to 1000 dinars per dollars, but the parallel market must be broken first and very close to the official rate. It is now at 1443 and needs to be at about 1000-1320. But this is not that far off. I personally believe this is not really the holdup but rather it is political and has all to do with Iran. We can see it now in the political news and how negotiations with Iran have causes, in part, this rise in the dinar. Then comes the Project to Delete the Zeros which, as we know, lays the groundwork for the reinstatement.

The articles tell us today that these recent swings will not last and are temporarily, however they also tell us that the overall trend is going to be upward. This is the groundwork being laid so they will be permanent in the near future. You see, it is going to be a cumulative effect of many reforms that will finally completely break the black market on the dollar, then we will see a sudden rise in the dinar. The key word is “completely”.

This is going to happen suddenly and when you least expect it. They are almost there now. The icing on the cake (the final straw) is said to be in June. So, here are a couple articles from today’s news that may help you understand what is really going on. I suggest you go re-read that article from June.

😊The first article is titled “THE RISE IN THE VALUE OF THE NATIONAL CURRENCY HAS LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL CAUSES.” The Iraqi dinar’s exchange rate against the US dollar has witnessed a significant improvement over the current period, supported by a number of internal and external factors. Most notably, the country’s large financial reserves, the prudent monetary policies pursued by the Central Bank of Iraq, and signs of a thaw in US-Iranian relations have combined to boost the value of the national currency. Oh… did they say US-Iranian relations had an impact? All I can say is “I told you so”. Why else do I spend so much of my time putting together the Political Section of my Newsletter for you? You do want to understand what the holdup is, don’t you? What do I keep telling you? It is all about politics as we all should know by now that the dinar rate is being artificially suppressed due to the political forces who want Iraq to first conform to their globalist policies. You can read it all here in this article for yourself. I am not making this stuff up.

😊So, here is yet another article titled “WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR THE DECLINE IN THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE AGAINST THE IRAQI DINAR?”. On Thursday, April 24, 2025, Professor of International Economics Nawar Al-Saadi revealed the reasons for the decline in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar in local markets.

😊Here is yet another recent article on this subject matter. It is titled “PM ECONOMIC ADVISOR: TRAVELERS’ E-PAYMENTS FUEL IRAQI DINAR RISE”. It reviews some of the same reasons for the sudden rise in the dinar.  

To sum it all up, we hear that that the improvement in the Iraqi dinar’s exchange rate against the dollar in local markets is due to the central bank’s recent policies in six areas of concern. I keep telling everyone there is not any one event that is going to get us the RV but the efforts of many reforms. Get it? It is the cumulative effect of many reforms that will finally break the suppression of the rate and force it to go global. This is important to understand.

There are factors that the articles identify in today’s news including: financial reserves, dollar flow, stabilization, productive sectors, global pressure and electronic cards. We have read many articles about the reform efforts in each of these areas. Here is a short summary of each from the news:  

• financial reserves

He added that the country’s massive financial reserves are one of the main reasons behind the improvement in the value of the dinar against the dollar, and we expect the dinar’s value to continue to improve in the coming period. He pointed out that the Central Bank of Iraq is working to consolidate the national currency by adopting policies that are consistent with Iraq’s financial capabilities and the requirements of the national economy.

• dollar flow

On the monetary policy side, the Central Bank has taken strict measures, including restricting the flow of dollars through auction platforms and imposing strict oversight on banks.  

• stabilization

While effective in achieving short-term stability, remain subject to several risks. The Iraqi economy’s dependence on oil revenues makes it hostage to global market fluctuations.  

• productive sectors

Sustainability of this improvement requires structural reforms, starting with diversifying the economic base and reducing dependence on oil) 

• global pressure

The opening up between the United States and the Islamic Republic has eased global pressure on remittances to Iran, reducing demand for the dollar in local markets and strengthening the value of the national currency.  

• electronic cards

The importance of the Central Bank of Iraq taking action to reach an agreement with the United States and establish an official platform for transactions by creating an electronic payment card for use in Iran, Russia, and other sanctioned countries. This would reduce demand for dollars.  

• Trump’s policies

The economic policies (politics) recently adopted by the US administration, most notably the imposition of tariffs on a number of goods and its relations with Iran.  

So, here is yet another article from today’s new about the decline of the dollar and a reason why. It is titled “PM ECONOMIC ADVISOR: TRAVELERS’ E-PAYMENTS FUEL IRAQI DINAR RISE”. Iraq’s dinar continues to strengthen against the US dollar, fueled by a shift toward electronic payments and tighter foreign trade financing,  Saleh attributed the currency’s recent strength to a drop in physical dollar demand, driven by expanded use of electronic payment cards, particularly among travelers.  

Travelers now access dollar allocations legally through airport facilities, reducing reliance on the parallel market,” he also noted, adding that private-sector trade transactions conducted through correspondent banks at the official rate of 1,320 dinars per dollar have reinforced market stability.

Saleh further credited the Central Bank of Iraq’s recent reforms—including the dismantling of the old payment platform and the launch of compliance-based mechanisms—with reducing cash dollar demand in secondary markets. “These steps have made official payment channels more flexible and cost-effective, marking a major achievement for monetary stability and regulatory oversight.” The dinar has posted steady gains in recent days.

What else is in the news?

😊I want to bring your attention to the news about EBRD in article titled “EBRD ENABLES EXPANSION INTO IRAQ”. Why would they want to do this? Articles like this one only reinforce what we already know about the future of Iraq. It is going to be a financial powerhouse. 😊 Could this also help in full accession to the WTO? Of course it will. What do you think? 😊 Just yet another event where we shake our heads and ask – where is the RV? So, what is the EBRD and why so important for Iraq?

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has amended its statutes, enabling it to expand operations into sub-Saharan Africa and Iraq.

According to a statement from the bank, this pivotal change redefines the Bank’s geographic remit and follows approval by its Board of Governors in 2023. The amendment will formally take effect in three months. The move sets the stage for Iraq to become a full country of operation, alongside several sub-Saharan nations. Iraq, along with Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, and Nigeria, has already joined as a shareholder, while Senegal, Kenya, and Ghana are currently undergoing the membership process.

It paves the way for our governors to grant recipient status to countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Iraq, which will enable us to start operations in our first countries in the region.” The EBRD currently has 75 national shareholders, in addition to the European Union and the European Investment Bank. WOW! This is all related to Iraq getting back on the global stage.

😊In this same regard is article titled “IRAQ STOCK EXCHANGE TO JOIN TABADUL DIGITAL TRADING PLATFORM” The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), the UAE’s largest financial market, has signed an agreement with the Iraq Stock Exchange and the Iraqi Securities Commission (ISC), paving the way for Iraq to join the regional digital trading platform, Tabadul. The signing ceremony was held at ADX headquarters on Tuesday.

These two last articles reflect yet more effort on the Stock Market. If you recall this is one of the vital Pillars of Financial Reform and will pave the way back to FOREX.

Clarity on the VISA and Mastercard saga:

Next, I want to bring news about the Iraqi VISA and Mastercard saga. What is the importance of these cards? There are two articles in today’s news concerning the management of these cards. If you recall for these cards, once the CBI began the de-dollarization effort, quickly became a source of withdrawing cash in dollars from the cards and funneling the dollars to Iran. Not good! The Iranian loyalist inside Iraq will do anything to be loyal to Iran. This had to be stopped as part of the money laundering schemes yet travelers still needed the cards as well as in country Iraqis for electronic payment options. The CBI had to find a solution and did find one. These next two articles are about the solutions and when they kick into effect. This is important for Iraq for establishing how they handle money internationally so pay attention.

😊The first article titled “CENTRAL BANK: VISA AND MASTERCARD CARD ISSUE ABROAD TO BE RESOLVED NEXT MONTH” tells us the Central Bank Governor Al-Alaq announced on Saturday that the issue of Visa and MasterCard cards abroad will be resolved within the next month.  He explained, “When we headed to organize this process, it required a set of procedures that must be worked on, so that we put it in its correct direction and according to acceptable standards, and therefore there were some stops and some changes in the paths.”

Al-Alaq said, “An agreement was reached with all concerned parties – which include “Visa” and “MasterCard” in coordination with the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the auditing company – on “the formulas and paths for settling these cards,” stressing that “the Central Bank has taken rapid steps in this regard, expecting to complete this task within the next month, i.e. before the scheduled date for this process, which is June 1.”

Just so you realize they are NOT using these cards with the “new” RV rate. If anyone tells you this they are crazy people and lying to you. If these cards are used outside Iraq they use the same “official” rate of the CBI if they want to pay for goods in any other foreign country. This is why the link back to the CBI is on FOREX. Get it?  It is the same like if you use a US charge card in Germany. The card will take your U.S. Dollar limit and convert it to Euros. Euros will pay the merchant…simple. The cards can never have a special rate on them. The rate comes from the CBI. So, let’s stop all this nonsense about these cards and having a new RV rate on them. This is so ridiculous it is even scary that anyone would even believe this crap, but these idiot intel gurus (like TNT Tony and Bruce) are telling you this. Yes, very sad with all the lies.

😊The other article on this topic of VISA and Mastercard is titled “THE CENTRAL BANK SETS A DATE FOR OPENING A NEW BANK IN THE US AND RESOLVING THE VISA AND MASTERCARD CRISIS.” The Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq confirmed on Saturday (April 26, 2025) that an agreement had been reached to open another bank in the United States to establish relations with Iraqi banks in money transfer operations.  “The Central Bank aims to resolve the problem of Visa and MasterCard cards abroad within the next month,” noting that “a plan has begun to be developed to issue cards specifically for small merchants.” The Iraqi banking sector faces challenges in international transactions, particularly regarding the use of electronic payment cards abroad, due to regulatory restrictions and global financial compliance requirements.  

Please watch the news when US Treasury secretary Bessent talks. When he talks, I listen! he is giving clues almost every day as to what is about to happen and where they are going with creating the “level playing field” for currencies.

These prophecies 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 this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. 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 more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.

God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.

These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do 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.

From God to the PROPHET:  Julie Green

“I The Lord, Have Heard Every Cry- Restoration Is Just Around the Corner”

Prophecy can be found at the 19:47 mark. From April 23^th.   ”

_______________________________________

HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?

Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.

Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.

Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.

This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9^th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.

TREASURY SECRETARY BESSENT JUST REVEALED THE USA’S GRAND MASTERPLAN TO BALANCE THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM

How is all this related to the RV? Do you want to know how the Iraqi dinar fits into the total plan? Bessent talking about the balance in the financial system folks! Did my CBI contact not tell us the RV was going to be used to infuse lots of liquidity into the system but only under a balanced” system. I couldn’t hardly believe that he even used these exact terms. To me putting currencies on a “level playing field” is part of the balancing process. Bessent even mentions this in this speech and interview below. Go figure! Everyone should take the time to listen to these videos today. Folks, this is the plan. Yes, everyone always wants to know what is holding up the RV, well here you have it folks. This is part of it.

This Is Treasury Secretary Bessent’s Most Important Interview Yet.

IS BRIGITTE MACRON REALLY A MAN?: ONE COINCIDENCE TOO MANY 

Please go watch a four part series sponsored by Candice Owens on what she found to answer this question. First of all why would anyone even ask this question.

You can visit the Mnt Goat Archives April 10th Newsletter here to continue watching the entire series of FACTS. Remember just because the deep state establishes a personality to use does not mean it is the background of the person in question. In other words, Brigitte’s past may be the past of someone else and just used to establish her/his credibility. The “official” records show Brigitte had a prior marriage and two children. No one is questioning these facts but they are actually talking about another person not Brigitte. You see, they take on the personality of someone else. They even photo shop pictures. They are good at this. However, they are getting caught now and the game is over. Just like in the U.S. with Clintons and Obamas they need to use the family structure to get into the hearts of the citizens to vote for them. Folks, it is all a lie and facade.

______________________________________________

  Pray, Pray, Pray & Pray some more!

Please try to remember to pray each and every day. In Hebrews 11:6, it underscores this principle of why we pray: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

You don’t have to be Catholic to pray….lol..lol.. As a Christian, praying the rosaries for me is my way to pray and has had a significant impact on my life and focus during this Easter season and throughout the year. I find it is good to remember the Stations of the Cross during lent and what our savior did for us. In know many of you may not be Catholics or even Christians but try to take a different approach this Easter. Try to see what all the fuss is about Christ. Put yourself in Christ shoes (or should I say sandals) as an ordinary person in today’s world. You can quickly see that the nature of man has not changed very much and if Christ were born today, many would probably try to crucify him. Have we not learned anything?

We all know something has gone terribly wrong with our nation. A supernatural battle is taking place to determine the fate of America. In just twelve minutes a day you help bring forth a divine intervention to save our country using this book. Let us not forget to fast, meditate and pray for the salvation of America. There is an organization that is taking on this endeavor through helpful prayer guidance. This is what I plan to do. How about you?

Anyone can join the hundreds of thousands already involved in this rapidly-growing prayer movement. It’s easy to get started:

THE 25,000 DENOMINATION ACCOUNTS FOR THE LARGEST SHARE OF BANKNOTES IN IRAQ

Revealed by the economic expert Manar Al-Abidi Today, Sunday, the 25,000 category still accounts for the largest proportion of banknotes in Iraq.

Al-Obaidi mentioned in a post on Facebook the number of banknotes issued by the Central Bank during January 2025 amounted to 6 billion banknotes, with a value of 100.3 trillion Iraqi dinars, an increase of 4.7% compared to January 2022, when the number of banknotes issued amounted to 5.7 billion banknotes, with a value of 78.2 trillion dinars.

 
He added that the largest increase was in the 50,000 denomination, which saw a 167% increase in circulation to 792 million banknotes, compared to 295 million banknotes issued in January 2022.

The 5,000 dinar denomination saw a 22% decrease in circulation to 754 million banknotes, compared to 973 million in January 2022.

The 10,000 dinar denomination also decreased by 10%, as did the 25,000 dinar denomination, which decreased by 1.65%.

F.Y.I. according to Al-Obaidi, the 25,000 dinar denomination still accounts for the largest share of banknotes, accounting for 32%, followed by the 10,000 dinar denomination at 13.5%, and the 250 dinar denomination at 13.44%.

The number of banknotes issued by the Central Bank during January 2025 reached 6 one billion banknotes were worth 100. 4 One trillion Iraqi dinars is up by the percentage of 3 5 % of January 2022 which were the banknotes issued by 7 7 One billion papers worth 78 2 Trillion Dinars

******************************************************************************************************

THE RISE IN THE VALUE OF THE NATIONAL CURRENCY HAS LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL CAUSES.

The Iraqi dinar’s exchange rate against the US dollar has witnessed a significant improvement over the current period, supported by a number of internal and external factors. Most notably, the country’s large financial reserves, the prudent monetary policies pursued by the Central Bank of Iraq, and signs of a thaw in US-Iranian relations have combined to boost the value of the national currency.

Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Dr. Ammar Hamad, said that the improvement in the Iraqi dinar’s exchange rate against the dollar in local markets is due to the central bank’s recent policy.

financial reserves

He added that the country’s massive financial reserves are one of the main reasons behind the improvement in the value of the dinar against the dollar, and we expect the dinar’s value to continue to improve in the coming period. He pointed out that the Central Bank of Iraq is working to consolidate the national currency by adopting policies that are consistent with Iraq’s financial capabilities and the requirements of the national economy.

dollar flow

Dr. Nabil Al-Abadi said: “The past few days have witnessed a significant improvement in the exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar, which is the result of a combination of internal and external factors. On the monetary policy side, the Central Bank has taken strict measures, including restricting the flow of dollars through auction platforms and imposing strict oversight on banks. It has also raised the interest rate on dinar deposits, which has stimulated the transfer of some cash liquidity. External factors, such as the improvement in oil prices and the accompanying increase in foreign reserves, have also contributed to this improvement.” 

Stabilization

He added that these measures, while effective in achieving short-term stability, remain subject to several risks. The Iraqi economy’s dependence on oil revenues makes it hostage to global market fluctuations. Furthermore, some austerity measures, such as import restrictions, could negatively impact citizens’ purchasing power if they are not accompanied by policies that support local production. 

productive sectors

He stated that ensuring the sustainability of this improvement requires structural reforms, starting with diversifying the economic base and reducing dependence on oil, through developing productive sectors such as agriculture and industry. This also requires a comprehensive overhaul of the banking system and simplifying customs procedures to boost non-oil exports, as well as enhancing investment confidence through stabilizing legislative policies.  

He stated that improving the exchange rate is not an end in itself, but rather must be a starting point for deeper economic reform. International experience demonstrates that sustainable monetary stability can only be achieved through a productive economy capable of confronting external shocks.

global pressure

Financial expert Dr. Mustafa Akram emphasized that while there is a reason for the gap between the official exchange rate and the parallel exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar, the gap has its causes. He pointed out that the opening up between the United States and the Islamic Republic has eased global pressure on remittances to Iran, reducing demand for the dollar in local markets and strengthening the value of the national currency. This coincides with ample supply from the Central Bank in the form of remittances and other forms of financing, which necessitates strengthening this phase.

electronic card

He pointed out the importance of the Central Bank of Iraq taking action to reach an agreement with the United States and establish an official platform for transactions by creating an electronic payment card for use in Iran, Russia, and other sanctioned countries. This would reduce demand for dollars, he noted, noting that this would serve small traders and travelers, address many problems, reduce smuggling and illegal trade, and increase the value of the local currency.

PM ECONOMIC ADVISOR: TRAVELERS’ E-PAYMENTS FUEL IRAQI DINAR RISE

Iraq’s dinar continues to strengthen against the US dollar, fueled by a shift toward electronic payments and tighter foreign trade financing, Prime Minister’s economic advisor Mudhhir Mohammed Saleh disclosed on Saturday.

Speaking to Shafaq News Agency, Saleh attributed the currency’s recent strength to a drop in physical dollar demand, driven by expanded use of electronic payment cards, particularly among travelers. “No genuine economic foundation is without the law of supply and demand, including currency markets.”

Travelers now access dollar allocations legally through airport facilities, reducing reliance on the parallel market,” he noted, adding that private-sector trade transactions conducted through correspondent banks at the official rate of 1,320 dinars per dollar have reinforced market stability.

Saleh further credited the Central Bank of Iraq’s recent reforms—including the dismantling of the old payment platform and the launch of compliance-based mechanisms—with reducing cash dollar demand in secondary markets. “These steps have made official payment channels more flexible and cost-effective, marking a major achievement for monetary stability and regulatory oversight.” The dinar has posted steady gains in recent days, reaching 144,350 dinars per $100 in Baghdad on Saturday, compared to around 150,000 dinars a month ago.

*****************************************************************************************************

WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR THE DECLINE IN THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE AGAINST THE IRAQI DINAR?

On Thursday, April 24, 2025, Professor of International Economics Nawar Al-Saadi revealed the reasons for the decline in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar in local markets.

Local stock exchanges in the capital, Baghdad, witnessed a rise in the value of the dinar at closing this afternoon, with the selling price reaching 145,500 dinars per $100, and the buying price reaching 143,500 dinars per $100.

The dollar exchange rate in Iraqi markets rose significantly in the fall of 2024, exceeding 1,550 dinars per dollar, or 155,000 dinars per $100, in some areas.

(Just so you know this is not a rise in the value, as the article says. If the amount of dinars per dollar increases then the value of the dinar decreases.)

TRUMP’S POLICIES

Al-Saadi told Al-Jabal, “The current decline in the US dollar’s exchange rate cannot be isolated from the global economic and political context, which is undergoing profound transformations. The United States has been facing negative economic indicators for some time, including slowing growth and declining retail sales data, which has reinforced market expectations that the Federal Reserve may move to cut interest rates in the coming period. This trend, by its nature, weakens the dollar’s attractiveness as a savings and investment currency and increases pressure on it in foreign exchange markets.”

He added, “Furthermore, the economic policies recently adopted by the US administration, most notably the imposition of tariffs on a number of goods, have contributed to raising import costs and increasing inflation rates, which has negatively impacted investor confidence in the performance of the US economy in the medium term.”

He continued: “In addition to internal factors, there are also global shifts that are gradually beginning to impact the dollar’s standing,” noting that “the accelerating trend by some international powers, such as the BRICS countries, toward reducing reliance on the dollar in trade and financial transactions reflects the beginning of the erosion of the monopoly position the dollar has enjoyed for decades. These multipolar policies are beginning to have a clear impact on the balance of monetary power worldwide.”

INTERNAL FACTORS

Regarding the situation in Iraq, according to the expert, “The recent decline in the dollar exchange rate is due to a decline in local demand during Ramadan, when commercial activity and travel decrease, leading to a temporary decline in demand for hard currency. However, this decline is not sustainable, and the dollar is likely to rise again when demand returns to normal levels, especially with the approach of the summer import seasons, or if obstacles arise in the flow of foreign currency into the Iraqi market.”

The professor of international economics concluded his remarks by saying, “The decline in the dollar exchange rate we are seeing reflects a state of economic anxiety and uncertainty rather than a long-term strategic shift.” Al-Saadi stated that “the dollar will not easily lose its global standing, but it is no longer the unrivaled currency, and the world is gradually moving toward new monetary balances that will have profound repercussions for developing economies, including Iraq.”

FUAD HUSSEIN HOLDS MEETINGS WITH US OFFICIALS IN WASHINGTON.

US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce announced that Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein will hold meetings with US officials in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

Bruce added, during a press conference, that Fuad Hussein will be at the Foreign Ministry on Friday to “hold several meetings,” noting that she will participate in one of them.

She noted that she had “no details to provide” about those meetings, but explained that the ministry would issue “media summaries, and there will be some information about those meetings.”

The Iraqi Foreign Minister announced, in a post on the X platform, his departure for the United States to hold “a series of bilateral meetings to strengthen Iraqi-American relations and coordinate efforts on regional and international issues.”

The meetings will also discuss “ways to enhance common security and cooperation in various fields.”

A US congressional delegation visited Baghdad in mid-April, and during their meeting with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, they emphasized “the importance of the relationship with Iraq as a key partner in the Middle East.”

In its meeting with Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, the delegation reiterated its country’s “commitment” to continuing to support Iraq and strengthening the strategic partnership between the two sides. It also emphasized the US Congress’s “keenness” to maintain effective communication with Iraqi leaders to work together for a better future for both countries.

WASHINGTON APPOINTS THE “BEST MAN” FOR TECHNICAL NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN NEXT SATURDAY.

 

The administration of US President Donald Trump appointed on Thursday senior State Department official Michael Anton to lead the US team in the technical negotiations between Iran and the United States scheduled for next Saturday in Amman.

Politico reported that Anton, the State Department’s director of policy planning, will lead a team of about a dozen people, mostly career officials from across the government, to hammer out the details of an agreement that would impose significant restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

He worked with Trump before.

This increasingly infntial administration official served on the National Security Council during the first Trump administration and then served as a fellow at the conservative Claremont Institute.

However, he has not announced any public position on the Iranian issue, which has long sparked intense and divisive controversy in Washington.

A US administration official described him as the ideal person for the position, given his experience and acumen. He added, “More importantly, he will ensure the implementation of Trump’s agenda on this issue.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced in an interview with the Free Press yesterday that Washington is seeking an arrangement that would allow Iran to import enriched uranium fuel from abroad, so it can develop a civilian nuclear program.

Meanwhile, US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff previously spoke of the possibility of allowing Tehran to enrich uranium to 3.67 percent, the level stipulated in the 2015 nuclear agreement.

It’s worth noting that during his first term in 2018, Trump withdrew from the 2015 agreement and reimposed harsh sanctions on Tehran, which remained committed to the agreement for a year afterward before beginning to reverse its commitments. At the time, he described the nuclear agreement, concluded under his predecessor, Barack Obama, as “the worst deal ever negotiated” with Iran.

Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stated in its latest report, issued last February, that Tehran possesses 274.8 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, far exceeding the 3.67% limit set by the 2015 agreement, bringing it closer to the 90% threshold required for use in nuclear weapons.

IRAQ STOCK EXCHANGE TO JOIN TABADUL DIGITAL TRADING PLATFORM

The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), the UAE’s largest financial market, has signed an agreement with the Iraq Stock Exchange and the Iraqi Securities Commission (ISC), paving the way for Iraq to join the regional digital trading platform, Tabadul.

The signing ceremony was held at ADX headquarters on Tuesday.

The agreement follows a preliminary accord announced in January, aimed at enhancing cooperation between the capital markets of Iraq and the UAE. The partnership will focus on technology, innovation, post-trade systems, and the exchange of best practices.

By joining Tabadul, Iraq becomes the platform’s ninth member, enabling seamless cross-border trading between Iraqi and Emirati investors and brokers. The platform allows remote market access and supports participation in IPOs across member exchanges, broadening investment horizons.

ELECTRONIC PAYMENT: A WHITE REVOLUTION AGAINST RED TAPE AND CORRUPTION

With the digital transformation sweeping across the world, electronic payment has become an essential tool for achieving transparency and enhancing economic efficiency.

In Iraq, the transition to digital payment systems is accelerating. This shift has become an urgent necessity to improve financial services and reduce reliance on cash transactions. Dr. Safad Al-Shammari, Chairman of the Baghdad Foundation for Digital Communication and Media, believes that electronic payment is not merely a technical option, but rather “a fundamental gateway to restructuring the economy and achieving development.” He noted that “adopting this mechanism will reduce reliance on paper money and limit administrative and financial corruption by documenting transactions digitally, making them difficult to manipulate.” Al-Shammari explained that the system contributes to “stimulating investment in financial technology and expanding banking services, which enhances economic justice and reduces the gap in access to financial services.”

For his part, financial expert Mustafa Akram Hantoush points out that “electronic payment is an effective tool for rationalizing cash use and providing accurate data that contributes to more effective monetary policy formulation.” He explains that “the system increases the efficiency of cash management and reduces the cost of printing currency, which directly reflects on reducing inflation rates.” Economist Duraid Al-Ghazi criticizes the limited implementation of the system, stressing that “the lack of adequate infrastructure in a number of governorates, weak coverage of electronic payment (POS) devices, and the lack of community education are all factors that hinder the generalization of the experience.” He points out that “a large percentage of citizens, especially in the outskirts, do not possess even the minimum level of knowledge about using these systems.”

**************************************************************************************************

GOVERNMENT ADVISOR: IRAQ IS IN A PROSPEROUS AND PROSPEROUS ERA DESPITE THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY.

The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed that operating expenses, which include salaries and other expenses, constitute approximately 57% of total annual spending in Iraq, and are fully covered as construction projects proceed at an accelerated pace.

Saleh explained in a statement to Al Furat News Agency, “This confirms the success of fiscal space management in supporting the country’s financial, economic, and developmental sustainability, even in light of the relative decline in the oil asset cycle.”

He pointed out that this has had a positive impact on citizens’ living conditions, as annual growth in the general price level, or the inflation index, has remained below 4% per year, a key indicator in the country’s stability roadmap and maintaining its standard of living.

Saleh described the current situation as a “prosperous and prosperous era” despite the difficulties facing the regional and global economies.

He noted that Iraq ranks third in the West Asia region in terms of GDP composition, after Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, among the group of Arab countries with high annual national incomes, according to the latest international indicators and estimates.

(Then were is the true nominal rate of the dinar if this is true? Just another indication it is being artificially suppressed.)

**************************************************************************************************

EXPERT: RESTARTING THE KIRKUK-BANIAS PIPELINE IS A STRATEGIC STEP TO STRENGTHEN IRAQ’S OIL POSITION.

Oil expert Riyad al-Nazzal confirmed in a press statement that “restarting the Kirkuk-Banias pipeline, which was built in the 1950s with a length of 880 kilometers and a production capacity exceeding 300,000 barrels of oil per day, is a step of strategic importance.”

In a press statement, Al-Nazzal pointed out that “the line has witnessed multiple political fluctuations since the tripartite aggression against Egypt, through nationalization operations, the Iran-Iraq War, the first and second Gulf Wars, and finally the international coalition’s war against ISIS.” 

He added that “the pipeline is currently gaining significant importance for Iraq, strengthening its position among the world’s largest oil producers, with more than 3 million barrels per day.” He explained that it enables Iraq to avoid the risks of relying on the Turkish Ceyhan pipeline, which is affected by shifting interests and political balances with the Kurdistan Regional Government, or disturbances in the Red Sea when exporting through the ports of Basra. Meanwhile, the Syrian pipeline remains the least expensive and fastest option for reaching European markets.

Iraq has begun practical steps to restart the oil pipeline extending through Syria to Mediterranean ports, sending an official government delegation to Damascus to discuss rehabilitation mechanisms, according to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s media office. Through this move, the Iraqi government seeks to open new routes for its oil exports amid escalating regional and international challenges affecting energy flows.

THE CENTRAL BANK SETS A DATE FOR OPENING A NEW BANK IN THE US AND RESOLVING THE VISA AND MASTERCARD CRISIS.

Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq confirmed on Saturday (April 26, 2025) that an agreement had been reached to open another bank in the United States to establish relations with Iraqi banks in money transfer operations.

Al-Alaq added in a statement followed by Baghdad Today that “the Central Bank aims to resolve the problem of Visa and MasterCard cards abroad within the next month,” noting that “a plan has begun to be developed to issue cards specifically for small merchants.” 

The Iraqi banking sector faces challenges in international transactions, particularly regarding the use of electronic payment cards abroad, due to regulatory restrictions and global financial compliance requirements. The Central Bank of Iraq has been working for some time to strengthen banking relations abroad and open new channels to improve financial transfers and ensure smooth transactions for businessmen and citizens, as part of broader efforts to reform the banking system and bring it in line with international standards.

(This news is NOT all about the RVso let’s not go off half-cocked. However these U.S. banks could come in handy to exchange the IQD when the time comes.)

****************************************************************************************************

CENTRAL BANK: VISA AND MASTERCARD CARD ISSUE ABROAD TO BE RESOLVED NEXT MONTH

Central Bank Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq announced on Saturday that the issue of Visa and MasterCard cards abroad will be resolved within the next month. Al-Alaq said in press statements, followed by “Al-Eqtisad News,” that “the Central Bank has completed the two tasks related to cash sales and foreign transfers, but the card crisis witnessed a state of “misunderstanding.” 

He explained, “When we headed to organize this process, it required a set of procedures that must be worked on, so that we put it in its correct direction and according to acceptable standards, and therefore there were some stops and some changes in the paths.”

Al-Alaq said, “An agreement was reached with all concerned parties – which include “Visa” and “MasterCard” in coordination with the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the auditing company – on “the formulas and paths for settling these cards,” stressing that “the Central Bank has taken rapid steps in this regard, expecting to complete this task within the next month, i.e. before the scheduled date for this process, which is June 1.”

Al-Alaq revealed that “work has begun on developing a plan to issue cards to small merchants, after completing consultations with companies,” “to accommodate the requests of merchants—a large segment of Iraqis—to cover their foreign trade without passing through long routes, so that transfers can be made directly, which will create a major shift in accommodating merchants who do not use formal transfer methods.”

(They are not using these cards with the “new” RV rate. If anyone tells you this they are crazy people. If these cards are used outside Iraq they use the same “official” rate of the CBI if they want to pay for goods in any other foreign country. It is the same if you use a charge card in Germany. The card will take your US. Dollar limit and convert it to Euros. Euros will pay the merchant. So let’s stop all this nonsense about these cards and having a new RV rate on them. This is so ridiculous it is so scary that anyone would even believe this crap, but these idiot intel gurus (like TNT Tony and Bruce. Are telling you this.) Yes, very sad with all the lies.)

EBRD ENABLES EXPANSION INTO IRAQ

(Nice! 😊 Could this also help in full accession to the WTO? Of course it will. What do you think? 😊 Just yet another event where we shake our heads and ask – where is the RV?)

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has amended its statutes, enabling it to expand operations into sub-Saharan Africa and Iraq.

According to a statement from the bank, this pivotal change redefines the Bank’s geographic remit and follows approval by its Board of Governors in 2023. The amendment will formally take effect in three months.

The move sets the stage for Iraq to become a full country of operation, alongside several sub-Saharan nations. Iraq, along with Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, and Nigeria, has already joined as a shareholder, while Senegal, Kenya, and Ghana are currently undergoing the membership process.

Full statement from the EBRD:

The shareholders of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) have accepted an amendment to Article 1 of the Bank’s statutes, enabling the expansion of its operations to selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Iraq. Article 1 of the EBRD’s statutes defines the Bank’s purpose and its geographic remit for countries of operations.

The Board of Governors approved this expansion in 2023 and the threshold of shareholder approval required for the amendment to Article 1 has now been met. The amendment will enter into force in three months’ time.

The announcement comes as the EBRD gears up for its 34th Annual Meeting, which will take place at the Bank’s headquarters in Canary Wharf on 13-15 May 2025.

EBRD President Odile Renaud-Basso said: “The modification of our Article 1 statute is a pivotal step towards the Bank’s geographical expansion. It paves the way for our governors to grant recipient status to countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Iraq, which will enable us to start operations in our first countries in the region.”

The EBRD currently has 75 national shareholders, in addition to the European Union and the European Investment Bank.

The Bank supports countries in transition by using a combination of investment, advisory work and policy reform, with a focus on developing the private sector and bringing about sustainable change.

ABOUT THE NEWSLETTER:

April 22, 2025 Mnt Goat News Brief

Guten Tag everyone:

I have some WONDERFUL news for you today. Not the RV yet, but we see this news is leading us to it.  

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.

Since 2013, I have taken my own time from my gasthaus business to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to spend my time doing all this. My time is hard to find, as I have to hold down two formal jobs already due to COVID just to keep the business going. So, I do it out of charity and love with the understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. As I am saying this take time and is like a third job.

I recommend $10-$15 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write eight (8) Newsletters every month. I have to investigate the news and try to pull out the FACTS, then pull off the articles from Iraqi news channels, translate them, talk to my contact in Iraq and then write and publish the Newsletter. Do you think perhaps a little gift might show some appreciation for all this hard work? Just asking…. Still only a hand full of readers help out each month. Enough said….. The future of the Newsletter depends upon you.

 Let’s all try to chip in!

Deuteronomy 15:10

“Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.”

IRAN MAKES AN “ATTRACTIVE” OFFER TO AMERICAN COMPANIES AFTER A SECOND ROUND OF U.S.-IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi announced the possibility of American companies playing a role in Iran’s nuclear energy program, promising “tens of billions of dollars in potential contracts.”

Araghchi outlined the strategy in a speech he was scheduled to deliver at the Carnegie International Policy Conference. The Iranian foreign minister posted the planned speech on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday after his attendance at the conference was canceled.

“The trillion-dollar opportunity our economy offers could be open to American companies. This includes companies that can help us generate clean electricity from non-hydrocarbon sources,” Araghchi said, adding that Iran plans to build 19 nuclear reactors in addition to the one currently operating at the Bushehr nuclear plant, with the goal of “generating clean electricity from non-hydrocarbon sources.”

The Iranian foreign minister continued, saying, “The Iranian market alone is large enough to revitalize the faltering nuclear industry in the United States.”

“President Trump seems to be aware of the disastrous mistakes made by previous administrations, which cost American taxpayers trillions of dollars in our region, while achieving no gains for the United States,” the Iranian foreign minister said.

Both the United States and Iran expressed optimism after the second round of nuclear talks in Rome on Saturday. The first round was held in the Omani capital, Muscat, the previous week. Technical talks between the two countries are expected to begin on Wednesday.

STATUS OF THE RV

I hope everyone had a nice Easter day and will continue with a holy and blessed Easter season. Easter does not end on Resurrection Sunday, as many know. At 50 days long, the Easter Season occupies the longest liturgical season of the year in the Catholic faith, outside of Ordinary Time. It comes after the conclusion of Lent and the Sacred Paschal Triduum, where we commemorate Jesus’ Passion, death and resurrection.

So, while it certainly feels like Easter Sunday is the fittingly celebratory end of the solemn Lenten season—we gather for a feast with our families, and “hallelujah” returns to our lips—it is actually just the beginning of the Easter Season, which, just like Christmas, goes far beyond a single day of resurrection Sunday.

So, the second round of Iran/U.S. talks are completed. A third round is scheduled. We are hearing nothing but optimism in the talks. The U.S. may actually benefit from the Iranian economy and help them with their electricity generations issues. We await to see what else shakes out of these talks. Folks, this is very, very important for us because I believe this is a huge part of why they are holding back the final stages of the currency reform process. We have no control over it as we just have to let it play out and pray for the best results. Yes, tell God what you desire. So far, our prayers are working and if you don’t believe then you haven’t been paying attention to the all the news from Iraq and what is really happening in Iraq. Get your mind off the money, it will come. Instead think about learning the TRUTH and this ride will be much easier.

So, now it’s time to get down to business with the Iraqi dinar revaluation status once again. I wanted to summarize where we are now with this reinstatement. I have quite a few juicy articles about the economy and the dinar to share. One article in particular gives us some insight as to why we have not yet seen the announcement of Iraq’s full accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO).

😊The article is titled “AL-NUSAIRI CONFIRMS THAT THE CENTRAL BANK’S APPROACH TO BANKING REFORM AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTES TO ACCELERATING IRAQ’S ACCESSION TO THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.” During his participation in the specialized workshop held by the Ministry of Trade to discuss Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization, Samir Al-Nusairi, Economic and Banking Advisor, emphasized the role of the banking sector in contributing to accelerating Iraq’s accession to the organization and the important role of the financial and banking sector in it. 

He pointed to the measures achieved in 2023 and 2024 by the Central Bank in cooperation with the government, mainly regarding the regulation of foreign trade financing, the electronic platform, and direct work between banks and international correspondent banks, based on the approved reform and development methodology, official data, and monetary policy indicators for 2024 and the plan for 2025 and 2026, in cooperation with international consulting companies specialized in this field, and compliance with financial globalization and international standards adopted by WTO member states.

Yes, what is holding it up? Remember the WTO did already tell us Iraq has met all the requirements. They told us this over a year ago. Does Iraq need a globally traded currency for “full accession”?

😊Another article got my attention today too. It is titled “SPEAKER OF THE ARAB PARLIAMENT TO AL-SUDANI: BAGHDAD IN REALITY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE MISLEADING MEDIA IMAGE.” Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received Arab Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Yamahi on Sunday. The speaker emphasized that the reality of Baghdad differs sharply from the “misleading and negative images” portrayed by some media outlets. I have been telling everyone your perception of Iraq today may be stuck on one from thirty years ago. As investors we have to rise to the occasion and see reality. Iraq has changed so much in just the last couple years. If this progress continues all the prophecies about Iraq are going to come to fruition.

😊Here we go again with yet more terrific news from Iraq. This article is titled “GOVERNMENT ADVISOR: DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS PLACE IRAQ ON THE THRESHOLD OF A NEW ECONOMIC ERA” The Prime Minister’s Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Wednesday that development indicators place Iraq on the threshold of a new economic era, noting that the gross domestic product (GDP) is pushing Iraq toward sustainable development faster than expected. Folks, I firmly believe this sudden and drastic change is all due to your prayers. Yes, we must keep praying. Does this sound gloomy? Folks, it’s coming…..

😊 “WOW!” Yes, there is more! So, here it is in black and white if many of you doubted me before. The article title is “THE MOST PROMINENT OF WHICH ARE “THORIUM AND URANIUM”… IRAQ: OUR NATURAL RESOURCES ARE ESTIMATED AT (16) TRILLION DOLLARS.” The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Friday that Iraq ranks ninth globally among countries rich in natural resources, while pointing to a move to invest in strategic minerals whose revenues rival those of oil . “Iraq ranks ninth among the world’s ten richest countries in terms of natural resources, with its wealth in precious metals, minerals, and other resources estimated at least $16 trillion, according to preliminary global estimates .” He pointed out that “Iraq ranks first in the world in terms of the concentration of natural resources per square kilometer of its vast and diverse geography, particularly in the Mesopotamia Basin region, which is rich in underground resources .”

So what we have here is oil revenue, then they told us in the past that customs and tariffs could rival the oil revenue, if managed correctly, then today we learn about the natural resources and how it too could rival those of oil. So, what just happened in the news? Iraq just announced potential of three (3) times their oil revenues. Also for us investors they just told us they will soon be out of the “rentier” oil economy and more diversified no longer dependent on oil alone for survival. Is this not what we want? Is this not what they keep telling us must happen to move ahead to global status? Let me conclude “WOW!, WOW! WOW!”……….

There is yet one more topic I have to cover today. It is these ridiculous stories of four-letter agencies and bank memos about some pending RV. Folks this is all ridiculous lies masked with more lies to make you believe it. Anyone can come on a conference call and  talk “jack-shit” and sound very convincing. But the bottom line is what is the result of it all. Really now, what has ever come to reality in getting the RV from these intel idiots. The really funny thing is there are followers of these idiots who swear by this nonsense and just can’t face reality. Again I want to present some idiot talk to entertain everyone today. Here is the nonsense. Enjoy a good laugh…. 😊 😊 😊  

F.Y.I. and Laughter: Here is a statement made by one of the TNT puppet members. I quote- “TONY AND RAY ARE PRETTY GOOD IN MY OPINION OF DECIPHERING INTEL VERSUS BOLOGNA….. AND TONY MAKE SURE HE TELLS YOU ON EACH CALL WHICH HE BELIEVES IT IS. LUNCH MEAT? OR INTEL? LOL” I wanted to show you these kinds of ridiculous statements made by mindless, brainwashed idiots following this jerk. TNT Tony is not alone. There are many more like him. Do you know that for the last 10 years TNT has told his followers that the RV was going to happen every week or every weekend. Oh, he would say, you might wake up on Monday and see it on FOREX. Really? Then he forgot he already lied to everyone in the past that it was already trading on FOREX. Opps, caught in his own lie. I of course tried to clarify and got bashed on his call over and over again for trying to tell the TRUTH. So, tell me how is this “deciphering intel versus bologna”?  Enough said. All you have to do is look at the lies over the past decade. If people can’t see through this idiot (and others like him) by now I can’t save you. All I can do is continue my journey to bring you the FACTS and TRUTH.  

______________________________

What can we as investors do right now?

• Pray and pray that nothing will mess this up….
• Be very patient….

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

                                             Just the FACTS!

______________________________________________

These prophecies 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 this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. 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 more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.

God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.

These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do 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.

From God to the PROPHET:  Julie Green

“The Vaccine Lies are Soon About to be Exposed”

Prophecy can be found at the 14:17 mark. From April 20^th.   

_______________________________________

HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?

Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.

Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.

Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.

This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9^th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

________________________________________

PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.

IS BRIGITTE MACRON REALLY A MAN?: ONE COINCIDENCE TOO MANY 

Please go watch a four part series sponsored by Candice Owens on what she found to answer this question. First of all why would anyone even ask this question.

You can visit the Mnt Goat Archives April 10th Newsletter here to continue watching the entire series of FACTS. Remember just because the deep state establishes a personality to use does not mean it is the background of the person in question. In other words, Brigitte’s past may be the past of someone else and just used to establish her/his credibility. The “official” records show Brigitte had a prior marriage and two children. No one is questioning these facts but they are actually talking about another person not Brigitte. You see, they take on the personality of someone else. They even photo shop pictures. They are good at this. However, they are getting caught now and the game is over. Just like in the U.S. with Clintons and Obamas they need to use the family structure to get into the hearts of the citizens to vote for them. Folks, it is all a lie and facade.

______________________________________________

  Pray, Pray, Pray & Pray some more!

Please try to remember to pray each and every day. In Hebrews 11:6, it underscores this principle of why we pray: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

You don’t have to be Catholic to pray….lol..lol.. As a Christian, praying the rosaries for me is my way to pray and has had a significant impact on my life and focus during this Easter season and throughout the year. I find it is good to remember the Stations of the Cross during lent and what our savior did for us. In know many of you may not be Catholics or even Christians but try to take a different approach this Easter. Try to see what all the fuss is about Christ. Put yourself in Christ shoes (or should I say sandals) as an ordinary person in today’s world. You can quickly see that the nature of man has not changed very much and if Christ were born today, many would probably try to crucify him. Have we not learned anything?

We all know something has gone terribly wrong with our nation. A supernatural battle is taking place to determine the fate of America. In just twelve minutes a day you help bring forth a divine intervention to save our country using this book. Let us not forget to fast, meditate and pray for the salvation of America. There is an organization that is taking on this endeavor through helpful prayer guidance. This is what I plan to do. How about you?

Anyone can join the hundreds of thousands already involved in this rapidly-growing prayer movement. It’s easy to get started:

SPEAKER OF THE ARAB PARLIAMENT TO AL-SUDANI: BAGHDAD IN REALITY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE MISLEADING MEDIA IMAGE.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received Arab Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Yamahi on Sunday. The speaker emphasized that the reality of Baghdad differs sharply from the “misleading and negative images” portrayed by some media outlets.

Statement from the Prime Minister’s Media Office:

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received on Sunday the Speaker of the Arab Parliament, Mohammed Ahmed al-Yamahi, and his accompanying delegation, which includes representatives of various Arab parliaments participating in the Arab Parliamentary Meetings held in Baghdad from April 19-21.

His Excellency welcomed the Arab delegation and congratulated them on their meeting in the capital, Baghdad. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that its outcomes meet the challenges currently facing the Arab world, and explained that Arab parliaments are an expression of popular and popular positions that must play a significant role in resolving the issues facing the Arab world.

The Prime Minister affirmed his support for the Arab Parliament’s efforts, noting that the outcomes of the upcoming Arab Summit, to be held in Baghdad next month, will be of great importance to the Arab world, as it will be held amidst the major challenges facing Arabs and the region. He explained that Iraq is focusing on the content of the summit’s outcomes, which must rise to the level of the current phase.

Mr. Al-Sudani addressed the reconstruction and building movement taking place in Iraq, as well as the growth in foreign investment. The government has proposed cross-border projects, including the Strategic Development Road Project, which will enhance economic integration among the countries of the region.

For his part, Mr. Al-Yamahi expressed his gratitude to Iraq and praised its supportive stance on Arab issues, particularly the Palestinian cause and Gaza in particular. He also commended the recovery and stability Iraq is currently experiencing, stressing that the picture on the ground in Baghdad is completely different from the misleading and negative images presented by some media outlets, which contradict the reality of the country’s security and prosperity.

THE CENTRAL BANK RENEWS ITS WARNING AGAINST TRADING IN WITHDRAWN BANKNOTES.

In recent years, this bank has observed the circulation of foreign banknotes from various countries, some of which are genuine and in circulation, others withdrawn from circulation, and some counterfeit. Such banknotes are used by unscrupulous outlaws to defraud citizens by luring them into exchanging them for Iraqi dinars at prices far exceeding their actual value. They claim that exchanging them offers them significant profits and rare investment opportunities.

Therefore, the Central Bank of Iraq calls upon the public and the specialized security and regulatory agencies to monitor these matters and refrain from handling these banknotes. They should focus on Iraqi banknotes and those handled by the Central Bank of Iraq and the banking system, to avoid falling prey to outlaws.

THE MOST PROMINENT OF WHICH ARE “THORIUM AND URANIUM”… IRAQ: OUR NATURAL RESOURCES ARE ESTIMATED AT (16) TRILLION DOLLARS.

The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Friday that Iraq ranks ninth globally among countries rich in natural resources, while pointing to a move to invest in strategic minerals whose revenues rival those of oil .

According to the official agency, the Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, “Iraq ranks ninth among the world’s ten richest countries in terms of natural resources, with its wealth in precious metals, minerals, and other resources estimated at at least $16 trillion, according to preliminary global estimates .”

He pointed out that “Iraq ranks first in the world in terms of the concentration of natural resources per square kilometer of its vast and diverse geography, particularly in the Mesopotamia Basin region, which is rich in underground resources .”

He explained that “investing in strategic minerals such as thorium and uranium could generate returns comparable to those of oil, as thorium is a cleaner and more important alternative for energy generation compared to uranium.” He noted that “linking the value of the national currency to investment in these minerals depends on Iraq’s ability to enter value-added chains, which contributes to raising the gross domestic product .”

He added that “the discovery of large quantities of thorium and uranium in southern Iraq represents ‘strategic news’ that will have a significant impact on diversifying the national economy if exploited optimally, especially if linked to the investment policies associated with the Development Road Project .”

Saleh emphasized that “advancing the exploration and manufacturing processes for these two resources will pave the way for the development of non-oil resources, enhancing Iraq’s global geo-economic position. Furthermore, this development will chart the outlines of a new industrial map linked to the path of development, establish a sustainable future, attract major global mining companies with advanced technological capabilities, and provide quality job opportunities within the Iraqi market .”

He pointed out that “this boom in mineral investment will have a positive impact on fiscal and monetary policy, by enhancing monetary stability and increasing national income, which will contribute to improving citizens’ well-being .”

He continued, “The importance of thorium and uranium minerals in the global energy market, and the presence of major economic partners such as India, China, and the United States, make Iraq a pivotal player in the field of unconventional fuel resources and an influential center in facilitating international security and energy paths.”

AL-NUSAIRI CONFIRMS THAT THE CENTRAL BANK’S APPROACH TO BANKING REFORM AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTES TO ACCELERATING IRAQ’S ACCESSION TO THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION. 

During his participation in the specialized workshop held by the Ministry of Trade to discuss Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization, Samir Al-Nusairi, Economic and Banking Advisor, emphasized the role of the banking sector in contributing to accelerating Iraq’s accession to the organization and the important role of the financial and banking sector in it. 

He pointed to the measures achieved in 2023 and 2024 by the Central Bank in cooperation with the government, mainly regarding the regulation of foreign trade financing, the electronic platform, and direct work between banks and international correspondent banks, based on the approved reform and development methodology, official data, and monetary policy indicators for 2024 and the plan for 2025 and 2026, in cooperation with international consulting companies specialized in this field, and compliance with financial globalization and international standards adopted by WTO member states.

Al-Nusairi explained the main points of the banking reform project launched by the Central Bank this month in the presence and participation of the Prime Minister.

He pointed out the customs war launched by the US administration and its effects in the medium and long term on the principles of unifying customs duties. 

Customs duties of the member states of the organization, and what are the means of confrontation that will be adopted by the World Trade Organization and the CAT organization concerned with regulating customs duties at the international level.

The workshop was attended by members of the National Governmental Committee for Joining the Organization, in which Iraq currently holds observer status along with 21 other countries, out of 166 countries with full membership. Representatives of relevant ministries, the private sector, and unions were also present.

AFTER A SECOND ROUND OF U.S.-IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS, WHAT’S NEXT?

The U.S. and Iran have agreed to meet again for nuclear talks. President Trump has not ruled out military strikes if talks fail.

---

Apr 19, 2025 06:05 PM

MILES PARKS, HOST:

The U.S. and Iran have concluded a second round of talks on Tehran’s nuclear program with an agreement to meet again in a week’s time. The two sides gathered today in Rome, and the talks are being mediated by Oman. President Trump says he wants to prevent Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon, and he’s indicated he’s willing to give these negotiations a bit of time. We’re joined now by NPR’s international affairs correspondent Jackie Northam to tell us a little bit more. Hey, Jackie.

JACKIE NORTHAM, BYLINE: Hi, Miles.

PARKS: So tell us what we know about the second round of negotiations here.

NORTHAM: Well, the meeting took place at Oman’s embassy in Rome, and this was the second time in as many weeks that they’ve met after, you know, years of having no direct talks between the two countries. The U.S. side was led by President Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, represented Iran, and he told Iranian TV after the four-hour meeting, the talks were good and held in a constructive manner. But Araghchi gave no specific details about what was discussed, and we haven’t heard from the U.S. side yet.

PARKS: It does seem to me that things seem to be going well just by the fact that they have agreed to meet again for a third round of talks next weekend. Can you talk us through what the endgame is here?

NORTHAM: Well, after their first meeting last week, U.S. envoy Witkoff said that Iran could enrich uranium to a low-grade level to produce energy. And then a couple days later, he turned around and said, Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment. So it’s a little unclear what the U.S. is willing to accommodate. But, you know, Iran has been firm that it will not give up what it insists is its right to enrich uranium for civilian use.

Other than that, Iran may be looking for sanctions relief. You know, during his first term in office, Trump pulled out of the previous nuclear accord, which had been negotiated by President Obama. And he placed crippling sanctions on Iran, which has just hobbled its economy. So getting out from under that may be one thing that Iran is looking for in these talks and perhaps can help reach a compromise.

PARKS: But considering the weakened economy point and also some recent military setbacks, is Iran really in a position where they’re going to be willing to compromise?

NORTHAM: Oh, you’re right. You know, Iran is not in a position of strength right now. Since the start of the Gaza War 18 months ago, Israel has decimated Iran’s main proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas. And it took out key Iranian air defenses when the two countries traded missile and airstrikes last year for the first time ever. And the U.S. has been carrying out frequent strikes on the Houthis, which are also aligned with Iran.

You know, there’s also speculation that Israel may want to launch its own strike against Iran’s nuclear targets. And President Trump appeared to confirm a report in The New York Times that he’d held off such a strike that was proposed, according to the report, by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visited the White House recently. And I just want to say that NPR hasn’t been able to independently verify that reporting yet.

PARKS: Right, but it does signal some openness here to kind of letting these negotiations play out, seemingly. Can we…

NORTHAM: Right.

PARKS: What are we expecting next week as these kind of talks continue?

NORTHAM: Well, analysts I’ve spoken to expect Iran will try to drag out these talks for as long as possible without making any real concessions since they’re negotiating from a position of weakness and don’t want to give too much that would make them look even weaker than they are. But President Trump has made it clear, the clock is ticking. And we understand there’s a meeting on a technical level during this upcoming week, and that’s before Witkoff and Araghchi are due to meet in Oman next weekend. You know, that’s raised hopes that they might be able to get some traction on these talks and avoid the possibility of a conflict, but, you know, it’s a very complicated process.

PARKS: That’s NPR’s Jackie Northam. Thank you so much, Jackie.

NORTHAM: Thank you.

After a second round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, what’s next?

The U.S. and Iran have agreed to meet again for nuclear talks. President Trump has not ruled out military strikes if talks fail.

THE CENTRAL BANK LAUNCHES THE VIRTUAL BANK PROJECT.

The Central Bank of Iraq announces its adoption of a project to launch a virtual bank in Iraqi universities. This is the first virtual bank to be established in an Iraqi university. The first phase will be held at Al-Muthanna University, which hosted a comprehensive exhibition held on the sidelines of the second scientific conference “Artificial Intelligence and Labor Market Requirements.” The conference was organized by the University’s College of Administration and Economics, in cooperation with Mansoura University of Egypt, the Central Bank of Iraq, the Muthanna Chamber of Commerce, and the Muthanna Chamber of Industry.

The exhibition included pavilions representing a group of banks and companies, as well as displays of fine art and heritage.

The virtual bank project aims to provide students and graduates with practical experience in banking, preparing them to develop human resources capable of meeting the needs of financial institutions. It also aims to provide students with practical experience by simulating the work of financial institutions and adopting international best practices. It also aims to encourage financial institutions operating in Iraq to access and expand financial services to all geographical regions of Iraq, with the aim of strengthening financial inclusion plans.

AL-SUDANI’S ADVISOR: IRAQ’S FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES ARE FINE.

 The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Monday that Iraq’s foreign exchange reserves cover 100% of the national currency.

Saleh said, “Iraq’s foreign currency reserves still have the capacity to cover 100% of the national currency issued, and that commercial efficiency has been achieved.”

He added, “These reserves still cover the country’s imports for three months, and therefore foreign reserves are considered stable.” He pointed out that the development of the optimal external use of foreign currency is achieved through a careful balance between the role of these reserves in maintaining the foreign purchasing power of the dinar and the stability of the exchange rate, and the standard of reserve efficiency, which is one of the functions of monetary policy as an independent body in achieving its goals of monetary stability and economic development.

On March 31, 2025, the Central Bank of Iraq revealed that the central bank’s net foreign reserves for 2024 amounted to 130.81 trillion dinars, a 10.18% decrease compared to the same period in 2023, when they reached 145.64 trillion dinars. The Central Bank confirmed that the reason for the decline in foreign reserves is due to the rise in domestic public debt, which is intended to cover the real deficit in the state’s general budget.

WILL THE GOVERNMENT RESORT TO MANDATORY DEPOSITS FOR CITIZENS? THESE OBSTACLES

The head of the Iraqi Economic Alliance, Adi Al-Alawi, warned of the major challenges facing monetary and fiscal policy in Iraq, emphasizing that financial reform requires real tools for transformation, most notably the independence of the central bank.

During his appearance on the “Free Talk” program on Al Furat satellite channel this evening, Al-Alawi pointed out that: “The most prominent problem lies in the lack of effective oversight of banks,” stressing that “the Central Bank is in one valley, and the banks are in another, as the latter do not adhere to official instructions and operate according to special policies, which has caused the banking system to lose real control over it.”

He added that “strict oversight represents the Central Bank’s best weapon in controlling banking activity,” calling for “a move toward a cashless economy despite a deep-rooted crisis of confidence among citizens in the banking system due to past experiences, including the seizure of funds in the 1990s and the subsequent bankruptcy or failure of some banks.”

Al-Alawi stressed that “citizens cannot be forced to deposit their money in banks, even within the legal framework, because that would have negative repercussions.” He 

pointed out that “persuasion must be achieved through incentives,” revealing that “the number of shops and commercial companies registered with the Iraqi Chambers of Commerce is 1.2 million, while the number of unregistered ones is 2.8 million, bringing the total to approximately 4 million outlets.”

He explained that “the mentality governing the Iraqi economy remains socialist, despite the official transition to a market economy following the 2005 constitutional vote,” suggesting that “Iraq’s budget is close to $100 billion or more, and was supposed to generate $12 billion from non-oil revenues.”

Al-Alawi called for “a five-year tax freeze to regulate corporate operations and alleviate concerns about joining the financial system, which could bolster the state treasury by $17 billion currently missing due to dollar-selling mechanisms.”

In the same context, Al-Alawi revealed that “the Central Bank has agreed with two international companies, one specializing in bank mergers and the other in private sector restructuring, to submit a comprehensive study next July on the struggling banks.”

DIGITAL CURRENCY AND THE DOLLAR

Despite the BRICS group’s failure to find a solution to replace the dollar with its own currency in the global payments and financial transfer system, with the aim of eliminating the dollar’s dominance as a weapon held over countries’ necks, the search for alternatives continues.

In February of this year, 2025, Trump renewed his stern warning to the G20 countries against any attempt to weaken the dollar, threatening to impose customs duties of up to 100 percent on goods imported into the United States.

Meanwhile, a new, different effort has emerged, called Project Amberg, which proposes digital currencies issued by central banks in certain countries in an attempt to eliminate the dominance of the dollar in 2021.

Yasser Al-Mutawali

The Amberg project was founded by the Bank for International Settlements, China, the UAE, Thailand, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, issuing their own digital currencies to regulate transactions between them outside of the dollar. It is an easy, cheap, and cost-effective method for dollar-denominated transactions. Saudi Arabia joined the system in 2024, giving it momentum and credibility.

Thus, Amberg comes after BRICS to try to end the dollar’s dominance over the global payments and trade system. Will it face the same American resistance to thwart it?

The BRICS group has been unable to agree on a common currency to replace the dollar in the global payments and financial transfer system, due to technical and technological reasons related to the countries’ capabilities, in addition to US threats.

It’s worth noting that the use of the dollar as a double-edged sword to punish countries and deprive them of their use of the greenback, as happened with Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, threatens to destroy their economies, prompting countries around the world to seek alternatives. Today, countries are competing to acquire gold as a hedge against sanctions.

The Amberg system is being adopted by China, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. A successful operation was carried out by the UAE Central Bank, which transferred 50 million dirhams in digital currency to China, eliminating the need for the dollar in trade payments between the two countries. 

Financial experts believe that the Amberg system, which reduces significant costs and time in exchange transactions, will be the biggest challenge to the dollar and limit its dominance over payment settlements.

Remarkably, Iraq announced earlier this year that its central bank intended to issue its own digital currency to keep pace with global trends in the field. The question here is whether Iraq will succeed in overcoming all the obstacles and challenges, especially given its continued commitment to international agreements and restrictions.

GOVERNMENT ADVISOR: DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS PLACE IRAQ ON THE THRESHOLD OF A NEW ECONOMIC ERA

The Prime Minister’s Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Wednesday that development indicators place Iraq on the threshold of a new economic era, noting that the gross domestic product (GDP) is pushing Iraq toward sustainable development faster than expected.

Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “Iraq’s position as the third economic power in West Asia among Arab countries in terms of GDP, after Saudi Arabia and the UAE, is an indicator that extends in two directions. The first is the accelerated ability to achieve significant progress in development, confirming the unprecedented speed and development of our country in imposing the significant economic and political stability that Iraq has achieved.”

He added, “The second relates to the GDP, and it also confirms, on the domestic level, that our country is an effective economic force in attracting investment opportunities in development areas. The great stability provided by the environment in recent years has helped support sustainable development at a faster pace than expected.” He continued: “The urban renaissance and the launch of infrastructure and service programs are among the most important activities in the government’s policy and economic program. Their success has not stopped, as they have proven to be successful in accelerating progress, so that our country can assume its geo-economic position as a promising path, indicated by high rates of economic growth.”

He pointed out that “the positive indicators we see in Iraq’s favor among the economies of West Asia have established a new economic era for Iraq, accumulating rapidly in development rates preceded by strong stability, which was a necessary condition for our country to occupy third place in GDP growth (as a sufficient condition) and with high cohesion.”

The Prime Minister’s Advisor indicated that “the foundation of this cohesion has remained the effective participatory and institutional role of the three branches of government: the legislative, executive, and legal. This has helped overcome the experience of difficult years to achieve the desired progress towards securing the future and building a future of prosperity, stability, and development. This has undoubtedly given the current government program the ability to achieve its positive goals of achieving widespread economic success.”

CENTRAL BANK: WE ARE COMMITTED TO BUILDING A MORE INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE DIGITAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) emphasized on Wednesday the importance of the media’s role in supporting financial inclusion and spreading financial literacy, while also underscoring its commitment to building a more inclusive and equitable digital financial system.

In her speech at the Ninth Scientific Conference (Third International) of the College of Media at the University of Iraq, under the theme “Artificial Intelligence in Media: Prospects for Innovation and Challenges of Cultural Dialogue,” the bank’s Assistant Head of Financial Affairs, Adhraa Taha Mohammed, said, “This conference reflects the bank’s vision to promote financial inclusion, implement government directives toward the use of electronic payment methods, and the role of the media in spreading financial literacy.”

She added, “Financial inclusion has become a pillar of economic and social development. It doesn’t just mean individuals having access to banking services, but also empowering them to make smart financial decisions that contribute to improving their lives and supporting the stability of society as a whole.” She emphasized that “the media’s vital role is not limited to raising awareness, but extends to building a solid financial culture that enhances trust between citizens and financial institutions.”

She explained that “the government’s drive to promote the use of electronic payment methods has become an urgent necessity imposed by modern developments, which requires all parties, whether academics, journalists, or institutions, to work together to guide society.”

She emphasized that “media colleges play a pivotal role in preparing media professionals capable of delivering financial messages in innovative and credible ways, bringing economic concepts closer to all segments of society, especially marginalized groups or those previously excluded from the traditional financial system.”

She emphasized that “the Central Bank of Iraq is committed to actively participating in building a more inclusive and equitable digital financial system, and is opening doors to cooperation with universities, researchers, and all relevant parties to achieve this goal.

This can be achieved by: organizing workshops and seminars within universities to introduce students to the concepts and importance of electronic payments, providing technical and cognitive support for university research focused on digital transformation and digital finance, encouraging financial innovation among students by urging the financial sector to offer financial products and services tailored to the student segment, and offering accessible digital solutions. It also aims to involve students in awareness campaigns as active contributors to spreading a responsible financial culture in society.”

She concluded by saying, “This integration between the Central Bank and universities aims not only to increase the use of electronic payment tools, but also to create a financially and technically literate generation capable of leading the national economy toward greater progress and modernity.” She emphasized that “investing in financial awareness within universities is an investment in Iraq’s future and the best path to achieving true and sustainable digital financial inclusion.”

April 17, 2025 Mnt Goat News Brief

Guten Tag everyone:

I have some good news for you today. Not the RV yet, but we see this news is leading us to it.  

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.

Since 2013, I have taken my own time from my gasthaus business to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to spend my time doing all this. My time is hard to find, as I have to hold down two formal jobs already due to COVID just to keep the business going. So, I do it out of charity and love with the understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. As I am saying this take time and is like a third job.

I recommend $10 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write eight (8) Newsletters every month. I have to investigate the news and try to pull out the FACTS, then pull off the articles from Iraqi news channels, translate them, talk to my contact in Iraq and then write and publish the Newsletter. Do you think perhaps a little gift might show some appreciation for all this hard work? Just asking…. Still only a hand full of readers help out each month. Enough said….. The future of the Newsletter depends upon you.

 Let’s all try to chip in!

STATUS OF THE RV

I want to wish everyone a Holy and Happy Easter week, Resurrection Sunday and the season that follows.

No! The RV did not yet happen. The IQD is not yet trading on FOREX and certainly there were no banker’s meeting with Trump at Mara Largo to announce an RV. Yes, these are the stupid rumors once again this week. I wish these idiots would get a life and educate themselves.

Not a lot of new developments this new period to report. However, there was one nugget of news I do want to share that I find interesting. Based on my recent conversation with my CBI contact in Iraq (which was yesterday), she also agrees with the rest of the citizens that if the Iranian issue can be resolved, they are going to move ahead with the currency reform effort and complete it.

We know that the next round of talks between the U.S. and Iran are scheduled for Saturday April 19 in Rome. Why Rome I haven’t a clue other than maybe its just neutral ground. There is talk that maybe the Vatican might have a hand in these negotiations and the outcome. I think there is much more “passive” power from the Vatican than most think.

Now, having said this – Did I say it was going to RV on Saturday the minute these talks are completed. First of all, we don’t even know how the negotiations will go. Next there may be many more future meetings. Then once the terms are negotiated by both parties, there may be work to done to show an honest commitment by both parties.

But we do have at least some sense of some timing?  Let’s look at what we do know. We know that they just told us in Tuesday’s Newsletter that the corruption with the dollar and I quote “Member of Parliament Majid Shingal confirmed on Sunday “that June will witness an end to dollar smuggling operations, noting that strict oversight will be imposed on the funds of companies, politicians, and influential people.”  We also know that The EU announced the digital Euro is coming in October. We also know that the Budget tables are being adjusted in the finance committee and we were told that once they do arrive in parliament they will be “pushed” through and passed. The hold up in the drop in oil prices and they had to review the projects again and adjust. They do not want to go into deficit spending and have to borrow.

So, does the Iraq currency reform have any alignment with these events? These are questions and thoughts to put in the back of your mind. We are not going to play idiot intel guru ☹ and start making up opinions, predictions, lies and rumors. As responsible educated adults we are going to watch it play out. We are going to stay calm and not over speculate. I believe that there are also spiritual issues that come into play. If after watching all these prophecies I have given you and then watching them play out, I don’t know have anyone can deny that these future prophetic events will not also occur. Just listening to personal boots-on-the-ground, I learned that we are very close as my CBI contract was told last week that she would be coming back to work on the committee for the Project to Delete the Zeros very soon. She was told to finish up her current work assignment. So, we have to listen and take in all these clues. There is something brewing. We need to stop demanding a definition of “very soon” and just relax. Like I keep saying there is also a spiritual timing to all this as this RV is part of God’s great reset and transfer of wealth.

Having said all this, I want to cover yet more recent news about the tourist industry in Iraq. I know I talked about this already in my last Newsletter. Remember the 23 cruise ships Iraq is contracting to build? Oh boy… have you given any more thought to this “river taxi project”, in conjunction with the Ministry’s plan to develop the Corniche dock in Basra Governorate? So today we are wowed with yet another article with more of the same about making Iraq a “destination”. THINK, THINK, THINK about it and THINK some more what they are doing. Not only are they building a huge port for these container ships to dock and unload/reload, then these “economic cities” as we would call them “industrial parks”. They are going to best utilize the waterways. Then they secured their borders, controlling the customs and tariffs revenues. They are also building the infrastructure such a roadways and electricity to accommodate it all. Folks the writing is on the wall. They are not riding camels anymore in the desert….lol..lol..

😊The very recent article I am referring to is titled “FROM ARMS TO PROSPERITY: A EUROPEAN REPORT INDICATES THAT IRAQ IS BECOMING A TOURIST DESTINATION.”

The Swiss newspaper “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” (NZZ) published a report on Wednesday on the improvement of tourism in Iraq, confirming that the country has regained its health and transformed into a center of prosperity after being rife with chaos and scenes of violence and weapons.

I quote from a piece from the article – “Iraq has put its modern history behind it and is beginning to welcome tourists after it was once seen as hell on earth,” the newspaper reported, translated by Shafaq News Agency. “But the country has regained stability, and the government is working hard to attract visitors,” it said. “Cities like Baghdad and Basra are witnessing remarkable changes, including the renovation of streets and historical sites. Religious sites, especially the shrines in Karbala, attract millions of pilgrims, and the government is seeking to capitalize on their economic and tourism value .” You can read the full article in the Articles Section. I wish you would.

Many of us need to get a different perspective of Iraq and what is really going on today. Many of us still have this stench of war on our minds of burnt-out caravans of cars and trucks on the roads. Although Iraq has not yet gone fully global, they are a far cray from the 2003 war situation. Folks, it has been 20 years already and they have come a long way. This is why I emphasis what they have accomplished in the just the last 2 years is a topper to it all and the final phase now that they are out of Chapter VII sanctions.

Remember that you don’t come out of sanctions that lasted for over 30 years (1991-2022), they just pop right back. It takes time. And worst yet to “pop back” there were strict guidelines given to them to accomplish. We know that these are they are the Pillars of Financial Reform. The world changed so much in 30 years. The world of banking is now modernized and Iraq had to make these changes to compete.

So, I really hate when someone asks me what the hold is for the RV. This tells me their ignorance and lack of understanding of the Iraq situation. Could they have progressed much faster? Sure they could have and we were told way back in 2014 that trillions of dollars (not billions) had been stolen that could have rebuild the entire country a couple times over.  They also have had a couple bad prime ministers and they certainly did not help more the progress along.

So today is Holy Thursday. Why not take this holy season to pray and move forward on our thoughts about this coming gift from God.

______________________________________________

These prophecies 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 this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. 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 more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.

God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.

These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do 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.

PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.

____________________________________

HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?

Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.

Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.

Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.

This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9^th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

ARE YOU SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE LIES ABOUT THE TRUMP’S TARIFFS?

Do you want to know the TRUTH? Yes, there is a long-term plan. It is not chaotic.

IS BRIGITTE MACRON REALLY A MAN?: ONE COINCIDENCE TOO MANY 

Please go watch a four part series sponsored by Candice Owens on what she found to answer this question. First of all why would anyone even ask this question.

You can visit the Mnt Goat Archives April 10th Newsletter here to continue watching the entire series of FACTS. Remember just because the deep state establishes a personality to use does not mean it is the background of the person in question. In other words, Brigitte’s past may be the past of someone else and just used to establish her/his credibility. The “official” records show Brigitte had a prior marriage and two children. No one is questioning these facts but they are actually talking about another person not Brigitte. You see, they take on the personality of someone else. They even photo shop pictures. They are good at this. However, they are getting caught now and the game is over. Just like in the U.S. with Clintons and Obamas they need to use the family structure to get into the hearts of the citizens to vote for them. Folks, it is all a lie and facade.

  Pray, Pray, Pray & Pray some more!

Please try to remember to pray each and every day. In Hebrews 11:6, it underscores this principle of why we pray: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

It is LENT time for us Catholics. We are winding down LENT as it is now Holy Week. Why not take advantage of the LENTEN season and pray. You don’t have to be Catholic to pray….lol..lol.. As a Christian, Praying the rosaries for me is my way to pray and has had a significant impact on my life and focus during this Easter season and throughout the year. I find it is good to remember the Stations of the Cross during lent and what our savior did for us. In know many of you may not be Catholics or even Christians but try to take a different approach this Easter. Try to see what all the fuss is about Christ. Put yourself in Christ shoes (or should I say sandals) as an ordinary person in today’s world. You can quickly see that the nature of man has not changed very much and if Christ were born today, many would probably try to crucify him. Have we not learned anything?

TRADE BANK OF IRAQ LAUNCHES FREE CASH DEPOSIT SERVICE VIA ATMS

The Trade Bank of Iraq announced on Tuesday the availability of a free cash deposit service via ATMs for its bank cardholders, stating that this service aims to simplify procedures and provide faster and easier services to citizens.

The bank’s media advisor, Aqeel Al-Shuwaili, said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and reviewed by “Al-Eqtisad News”, that “the cash deposit service is available to holders of the bank’s cards (Visa, Mastercard) issued in Iraqi dinars only,” noting that “the service is free and does not require any additional fees.”

Al-Shuwaili explained that “the maximum limit for a single deposit transaction is 5,000,000 Iraqi dinars, provided that the number of banknotes does not exceed 150, while the maximum monthly deposit limit is 13,200,000 Iraqi dinars,” noting that “other deposits made through the bank’s mobile application or through branch cashiers are counted within the specified monthly ceiling.”

He explained that “the cash denominations accepted through ATMs are: 10,000, 25,000 and 50,000 Iraqi dinars,” calling on customers to “withdraw the transaction receipt after depositing, as it includes its details, in addition to sending a notification of the deposited amount to the customer’s email.”

He stressed that “the cash” deposit service is available through ATMs in the following locations:

* Main Branch: Al-Harithiya – Al-Kindi Street – Building No. (4).
* International Zone Branch: Al-Tashree’ District – Green Zone – Block 228.
* Al-Mansour Branch: 14 Ramadan Street – next to Shamisani Restaurant.

* Al-Saydiya Branch: Al-Alwa Street – opposite SAS Toyota Company.
* Al-Masbah Branch: Al-Karrada – Al-Masbah Intersection – near Dijlah Village.

FROM ARMS TO PROSPERITY: A EUROPEAN REPORT INDICATES THAT IRAQ IS BECOMING A TOURIST DESTINATION.

The Swiss newspaper “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” (NZZ) published a report on Wednesday on the improvement of tourism in Iraq, confirming that the country has regained its health and transformed into a center of prosperity after being rife with chaos and scenes of violence and weapons .

“Iraq has put its modern history behind it and is beginning to welcome tourists after it was once seen as hell on earth,” the newspaper reported, translated by Shafaq News Agency. “But the country has regained stability, and the government is working hard to attract visitors,” it said. “Cities like Baghdad and Basra are witnessing remarkable changes, including the renovation of streets and historical sites. Religious sites, especially the shrines in Karbala, attract millions of pilgrims, and the government is seeking to capitalize on their economic and tourism value .”

The report added, “This oil-rich country was widely seen as hell on earth, a place where fanatical militias fought, car bombs exploded daily, and foreign Islamist militants were dressed in orange jumpsuits before being beheaded on camera. Now, all that is changing. After years of utter chaos, Baghdad today enjoys a sense of stability .”

“As a result, the government of Iraq, which was once in chaos, has ambitious plans to turn it into a tourist destination with promising potential,” he noted, explaining that “Mesopotamia is, after all, the cradle of civilization, where agriculture originated and where the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Arabs established great empires .”

He stated that “Iraq has more than 12,000 heritage sites listed on the UNESCO list, including the ruins of Babylon and Ur, and what is believed to be the remains of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Iraqis are famous for their hospitality, and Baghdad was recently chosen as the Arab Tourism Capital for 2025, and the government has launched an electronic visa .”

Baghdad “A Great Adventure “

The report quotes Ahmed Qutaiba, a Baghdadi, who opens his fiery red Dodge Charger, reminiscent of the Fast and Furious movie series, to ferry tourists around Baghdad. He   used to work for Oxfam, but now visitors can book him as a tour guide for $250 a day. “I support myself financially,” he says. “I recently had a tour group from Romania, so I had to rent a bus for them .”

He adds, “Baghdad has been through harsh times, with Shiite and Sunni extremists fighting each other and committing massacres against civilians. But after the city repelled an ISIS attack in 2015, things changed. Today, Baghdad is witnessing renewed construction activity, with cranes raising new skyscrapers and highways being built everywhere .”

In the old city center, the government has renovated the famous Mutanabbi Street, where books have been sold for centuries. In the 1960s, Baghdad was one of the cultural capitals of the Middle East. Few traces of this era remain, after the bloodshed in recent years drove many to flee the country. However, intellectuals still reside on Mutanabbi Street .

Karbala is a destination for visitors

The report stated that, “In Karbala, the shrines of Imam Hussein and Imam Abbas are located about an hour and a half by car from Baghdad. Its massive mosques with their crystal chandeliers are among the most important shrines for Shia Muslims, with pilgrims flocking from far and wide to Karbala or neighboring Najaf, where Imam Ali is buried. These shrines in central Iraq are among the most visited places in the world .”

He pointed out that “about twenty million visitors visit this place annually, during the month,” noting that “inside the shrine, it is common to see men bursting into tears, or simply sitting on the ground staring into nothingness in astonishment .”

“Outside, things seem simpler. In the streets leading to the holy shrines with their golden domes, vendors sell almost everything, from religious items to clothes and mobile phones, ” he said.

The report quotes Najm, the head of security at one of the shrines in Karbala, as saying, “The establishments surrounding the shrines have long since become huge commercial enterprises. The state is also investing in Karbala, building hotels and restaurants .”

Iraq is a secular state

Iraq was once considered a secular state, with former President Saddam Hussein designating Johnnie Walker whiskey as the national drink. But since his fall, social life has become more restricted, not just in Karbala. The government cracked down on alcohol sales and closed most bars in Baghdad. Since then, Iraqis drink alcohol at home, travel to Kurdish areas of the Kurdistan Region, or visit one of the few hotel bars still open in the capital .

He explained that “at the ‘Happy Times’ bar at the Palestine Hotel, women in elaborate makeup serve small glasses filled with schnapps, while men with mustaches resembling Saddam’s throw wads of counterfeit money into the air .”

“For a long time, this was almost impossible in Iraq,” he explained. “During the dark years of civil war and the ISIS invasion, many Iraqis holed up in their homes, and every step outside was life-threatening. But now, with some stability in the country, people are going out more, as if to make up for lost time. As a result, Baghdad’s restaurants are full, and people are still wandering the streets until late at night .” 

Basra is renewed

In Basra, the newspaper quoted Badr, a train manager for 32 years, as saying, “We’ve been working almost constantly, even during the war. The train is a symbol of the Iraqis’ will to resist, and now we hope to welcome visitors from abroad .”

“In Basra, the desire for normalcy is clearly evident. The city, which until recently was considered deserted, is now being revitalized,” the report said. “On the Shatt al-Arab corniche, where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow into the Persian Gulf, families stroll along newly paved streets. In the old town, UNESCO has restored some old houses, and there is now a small history museum and a five-star hotel where a Belgian tourist group is staying .”

He stressed that “Basra suffers from air pollution and high temperatures, and climate change threatens the nearby marshes, which are vast swamps teeming with water buffalo and endless reed forests .”

SALEH: THINGS BETWEEN BAGHDAD AND ERBIL ARE MOVING TOWARD A BREAKTHROUGH, AND EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT A SOLUTION.

Former Iraqi President Barham Salih affirmed on Wednesday that the relationship between Baghdad and Erbil remains below the desired level, but that the steps currently underway give cause for optimism about the possibility of reaching serious solutions.

“The situation is heading toward a thaw, in light of the ongoing meetings and discussions between the federal government and the regional government, in the presence of the federal prime minister, his counterpart in the region, and the oil minister,” Saleh said during a press conference attended by Shafaq News Agency.

He pointed out that “what is reassuring is that everyone is speaking the language of resolution, and that there is consensus on the need to overcome outstanding differences,” noting that “resorting to the constitution must be the first and final authority in resolving outstanding issues, with the interests of citizens being placed above all other considerations.”

Regarding the legislative elections, Saleh explained that “the decision to hold the elections was approved and announced by the Prime Minister, who affirmed the government’s commitment to holding them on the scheduled date.” He considered this step necessary to consolidate political stability in the country.

Regarding the Kurds’ position in light of regional and international changes, he highlighted “the importance of unifying Kurdish ranks and seriously addressing the major transformations taking place in the region and the world, ensuring the preservation of Kurdish rights and gains within the national framework.”

INFORMED SOURCES: US-IRAN TALKS SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY MOVED TO ROME  

Informed sources revealed on Wednesday that an agreement has been reached to move the US-Iran talks scheduled for Saturday to Rome.

Sources reported that the Italian Foreign Ministry informed its European partners and the Gulf states of Rome’s continued readiness to provide any kind of support to the mediation process between Tehran and Washington. Following the first round of talks held in Muscat, Iran announced that upcoming talks with the United States would remain “indirect,” mediated by Oman, and would focus exclusively on the nuclear issue and the lifting of sanctions.

ABOUT THE NEWSLETTER:

April 15, 2025 Mnt Goat News Brief

Guten Tag everyone:

I have some good news for you today. Not the RV yet, but we see this news is leading us to it.  

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.

Since 2013, I have taken my own time from my gasthaus business to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to spend my time doing all this. My time is hard to find, as I have to hold down two formal jobs already due to COVID just to keep the business going. So, I do it out of charity and love with the understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. As I am saying this take time and is like a third job.

I recommend $10 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write eight (8) Newsletters every month. I have to investigate the news and try to pull out the FACTS, then pull off the articles from Iraqi news channels, translate them, talk to my contact in Iraq and then write and publish the Newsletter. Do you think perhaps a little gift might show some appreciation for all this hard work? Just asking…. Still only a hand full of readers help out each month. Enough said….. The future of the Newsletter depends upon you.

 Let’s all try to chip in!

Proverbs 11:25

“Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”

IRAQ AWAITS ECONOMIC BREAKTHROUGH FOLLOWING US-IRAN AGREEMENT

Amid the successive crises facing Iraq, the national economy stands on the edge of waiting and anticipation, searching for a glimmer of hope that will open windows of relief amid the blocked financial horizon and the tightening noose on the local market.

Amid the anxiety of traders and the fear of consumers, the signs of the anticipated agreement between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran emerge as an opportunity that may carry within it the features of an economic breakthrough for Iraq, after years of suffering due to sanctions and regional tensions.

With every announcement or hint of progress in the negotiations, Iraqis’ hopes are pinned on the possibility of liberating themselves from the shackles of complex transactions, and that this agreement will transform from a mere political card into a key to facilitating trade, ensuring stability, and protecting what remains of their purchasing power and economic capacity, which has been weakened by regional tensions.

Economic expert Nasser Al-Tamimi confirmed on Monday (April 14, 2025) that the expected agreement between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran will have economic benefits for Iraq.

STATUS OF THE RV

I first want to clarify yet more nonsense. I never said the RV process would go until 2029. Please stop putting words in my mouth or I will band you from the blog! I do not know why anyone would make such a comment. Also, I am going to delete any comments from the blog when statements are made, whether positive or negative, about the RV without first showing proof. I am open to any new developments but not lies or rumors. We are a factual based blog trying to investigate the revaluation process of the IQD (Iraqi dinar) not an overly speculative group of rumor spreaders. We can not go around lying. It is not going to get us anywhere. Sorry… there are other sites you can go to get your daily dose of bullshit and lies.

You have to understand why I started the blog and my Newsletter. It was to combat all the stupidity and ridiculousness of the lies out there about the RV. How many times must we hear that the lower denominations are out or the IQD is back on FOREX? Yes, catchy headlines to click on with not an ounce of TRUTH in them.

Let’s look at today’s news….

The two main drivers to focus on in today’s news are:

1.The ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran – What will this mean to Iraq if successful? We are talking weeks not months or years;

2.Attracting investors to Iraq and the economy that is about to explode.

Remember that any agreement made during the Trump administration with Iran is NOT just about a nuclear deal, as we have all been so brainwashed already on this subject. The deal must also include advancing the efforts to clean Iraq from the Iranian influence and puppet state status. It must also include dealing with the Iranian mobilization forces leftover from the ISIS war. President Trump will try with Iran to emphasize that working in partnership with the rest of the world and dropping this notion of constant war through terrorism is a waste of resources. Why not have peace and use your wealth for the benefit of your citizens and everyone prospers? Why spend so much of your national treasures on war?  

In the three articles shown above we can see that progress is being made with Iran. The negotiations are now underway. What will be the final result? I think we should all pray, pray and pray some more especially during this Holy Week of Easter season for this to go right. We are hoping for a breakthrough soon. Finally resolving this Iranian issue will certainly bring Iraq that much closer to regaining the independence of their dinar, knowing they are no longer a puppet state for Iran.

But I want everyone to remember the negative comments made on my blog that this effort with Iran would take months, if not years to accomplish with Iran. I said really? After all the prophecies I presented to you and all the other news how can anyone make such comments? Are you till sleeping? If you would only learn to use the tools available that can help us understand, such as the prophetic word, you might learn something. I can’t force you to learn. I can’t force you to wake up. Oh… but that takes FAITH! Many even have told me they doubt the prophetic word? Many don’t even believe in God. Really? Look at all the “prophecies fulfilled” I have shown you? Do you think all of this is just coincidental?  

The second main focus is about the economy and the signals we are getting that it is being lined up for a major boom in Iraq. I also, consequently, believe that this boom in Iraq will coincide with the boom in the U.S. You see, Iraq is part of the wealth transfer. Oh… But you already knew that? If you do know it then why are you now concerned then what happens in the U.S. too that will impact Iraq? Iraq can’t have the RV unless the U.S. allows it. It is that simple- in a proverbial nutshell.

So, let looks and yet more evidence of this coming economic boom.  

😊In the article titled “RAFIDAIN BANK LAUNCHES OBDX SERVICE AFTER ACTIVATING ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING SYSTEMS” we find that Rafidain Bank announced last Friday, the launch of its online banking service, OBDX (Online Banking Digital Experience), following the activation of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations. This step aims to enhance digital transformation and comply with international standards.   “The OBDX service provides an integrated digital banking experience, enabling government agencies to conduct their financial transactions electronically and with the highest levels of security, which contributes to accelerating procedures and reducing reliance on paper transactions.” This goes hand in hand with what the CBI has been telling us all along. That they are digitizing the banking system in Iraq. You would think they already had a similar system in place? I guess not…. Welcome to the 21st century…lol..lol… 😊 Finally!

😊In the article titled “AL-NUSAIRI CONFIRMS THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE BANKING REFORM PROJECT ANNOUNCED BY THE CENTRAL BANK WILL YIELD PROMISING RESULTS”, we find that economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi confirmed that the banking reform project is successful consistent with the methodology included and adopted in the government program and the Central Bank’s third strategy for the years 2023 and 2024.

It will yield promising results in cooperation with global consulting firms Ernst & Young, K2, and Oliver Wyman to build a transparent information base for comprehensive reform, starting with the banking sector as the first essential link in the economy. Without a sound, solid, and modern banking sector, a strong and robust national economy cannot be built. Al-Nusairi pointed out that among the important initial results achieved is the commencement of the completion of the actual implementation of the plans drawn up during 2025 and 2026 for comprehensive reform, which are summarized in enhancing financial inclusion and achieving stimulating and sustainable returns for shareholders and investors. 

If you can remember a decade ago how Iraq tried to get the influx of investors to Iraq and couldn’t. Why was this? We read so many articles about all their investment forums, but nothing really happened afterwards of any real significance. To answer this question we have to go back to the Chapter VII sanctions. Once these sanctions were “fully” lifted in December 2022, it allowed Iraq then to move at a rapid pace to put the final touches on the needed banking reforms. Once the banks are stable, and investors have a real good assure that they money is not going to be stolen (or just disappear) only now does Iraq have that stable environment to attract investors, thus we begin to see them pour in.

😊Take a peak at the news in article titled “MP: JUNE WILL MARK THE END OF DOLLAR SMUGGLING IN IRAQ”. A member of Parliament Majid Shingal confirmed on Sunday that June will witness an end to dollar smuggling operations, noting that strict oversight will be imposed on the funds of companies, politicians, and influential people.”  “Our transfers are currently considered dollar smuggling, but the situation is now better. I believe that in June, regular correspondence will be adopted, which will significantly reduce smuggling, and may even lead to its near disappearance.” 

If you remember last December 2024, the correspondent bank transfer process was put into effect. This eliminated 95% of fraudulent payments. Ali Al-Alaq told us this was an acceptable level, however the U.S. did not agree. They are now talking about a way to get rid of the other remaining 5%. Back in December Iraq was only working with 4 major correspondent banks. Now they have agreements with dozens. This is how they are able to make this claim. However, this is not the entire story to RV but a piece that needed to be resolved. I just don’t want to lose sight of what is really happening. Please do not bench mark June for an RV! I am not saying this is a target.  

😊In the article titled “WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF 1,200 LOCAL AND FOREIGN COMPANIES, THE BABYLON BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT FORUM KICKS OFF” we see yet another investment forum occurring. Will this one be successful? The Business and Investment Forum kicked off in Babil Governorate last Saturday, with the participation of 1,200 local, Arab, and foreign companies, showcasing 450 investment opportunities in various sectors. I believe it is different this time and Iraq will attract investors.

More of the same….

😊So, here is yet another article titled “AL-MASHHADANI TO THE AMERICAN DELEGATION: THE UNITED STATES IS ONE OF IRAQ’S MOST IMPORTANT STRATEGIC PARTNERS”.  

Just last week, an economic delegation from the American Chamber of Commerce met  at the Presidential Palace in Baghdad, Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, received the Chargé d’Affaires of the US Embassy in Iraq, Daniel Rubenstein. Rubenstein was accompanied by a large economic delegation from the US Chamber of Commerce, including representatives of 57 American companies, headed by Lotus Steve, and a number of company presidents and investors. The meeting was held as part of the US Chamber of Commerce’s economic conference in Iraq.

More of the same….

😊Here is yet another article on this subject matter which is telling us that even the International Development Bank is willing to invest in Iraq. We usually don’t see this kind of support from a global bank unless there is serious stability in a country’s financial system. The article is titled “TO BOOST THE ECONOMY, THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANK IS THE OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF THE IRAQI BUSINESS SUMMIT.” The International Development Bank announced its official sponsorship of the Iraqi Business Summit (IBS). The summit will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025, in Celebration Square-stage Al-Mansour Downtown Baghdad. The summit will be held with broad participation from local and international economic institutions and investment companies. I would have to even call this a “WOW!” article.

More of the same….

😊If all this news about investors potential investors finally pouring into Iraq is not good enough for amazing news, they lets look at the article titled “AN ECONOMIST PROPOSES A WAY TO TRANSFORM IRAQ INTO AN “ACTIVE REGIONAL PLAYER.” An economic expert has proposed a practical way to transform Iraq from what he calls a “field of influence” into a “power” and an “active regional player” in the worlds of politics and economics.

Economic expert, Manar Al-Obaidi, pointed out in a post on his social media account that, “At a time when countries around the world, whether allied or hostile, are rushing to win the favor of the Donald Trump administration.  The economic expert believes that “the use of Iraq as a bargaining chip is no longer limited to the Iranian side. Arab and Turkish parties have also entered the fray, and various Iraqi issues are sometimes managed as part of understandings or escalation deals between regional powers and the United States.”  Iraq has a rare opportunity to transform from a mere arena of influence into an effective regional player, if it makes good use of its economic tools. One of the most prominent of these possible tools is the proposal to establish an Iraqi-American investment fund, financed by the export revenues of no less than 100,000 barrels of oil per day, sold directly to the United States. These revenues would be allocated exclusively to investment in the American market, forming the nucleus of a sovereign fund capable of generating long-term profits for the Iraqi state.”

According to Al-Obaidi, “developing this fund and enhancing its investments would create mutual economic interest with the United States and transform Iraq into a political force with regional influence, linked by long-term strategic economic relations, rather than remaining a tool in the hands of negotiators at a table to which it is not invited.”

So, if we are smart we don’t even had to read between the lines of what is going on in Iraq. Instead, it is blaring us right in the face. Oh boy! If you can’t see what is coming after today’s Newsletter I can’t help you. Let me explain. It took a business man like Donald Trump to see the potential in Iraq for American companies but also, which is most important, to take advantage of it. But Trump knows that before he can convince American companies to come to Iraq, he must erase the stigma of Iranian influence in Iraq. Do you get it now, why the emphasis on cleaning out Iran from Iraq all of sudden? Do you see why now? This should have been done a decade ago. I will go a step further and say it was through many U.S. administrations and BAD FOREIGH POLICIES filled with corruption that led to Iran entering and abusing Iraq in the first place. Iraq back then counted on the U.S. to help is and it didn’t. Now, like so many other issues, this must be reversed. From my Newsletter today we get a really good clear look at where the Trump foreign policy towards Iraq is going and its all VERY GOOD!

Again, I am going to also bring up the “Development Road Project”, the port of Faw and the interconnected system of roadways and rail lines being constructed throughout Iraq. What the hell do you think this is all for? You can go re-read my Newsletter dated April 3rd in the Archives for more info to refresh your memory.  

😊Lastly there is one article that totally shocked me (in a good way). This one is titled “IRAQ INTENDS TO PURCHASE AND MANUFACTURE 23 CRUISE SHIPS”. Really, cruise ships in the desert. The Ministry of Transport intends to contract for the purchase and manufacture of 23 different vessels and boats to support the river transport sector and stimulate its movement locally and internationally as part of a plan to revitalize the sector in the country. The Director General of the Ministry’s General Maritime Transport Company, Ahmed Al-Asadi, said his company intends to contract for the purchase of 15 tourist boats to activate the river taxi project, in conjunction with the Ministry’s plan to develop the Corniche dock in Basra Governorate, which is currently being referred for implementation.  

Folks can you see it yet? Come ‘on! This article is the icing on the cake for today’s news. They must have planned this Corniche dock project for a while and are now activating it based on money from the budget. Iraq is planning a vast tourist industry. We already know about the annual pilgrimages to Iraq, as Iraq is considered the cradle of civilization. There are many museums and religious sites to see. The many waterways in Iraq are ideal for this project. I remember Iraq when I was stationed there from my Army days and I always said how nice it would be have peace and to be able to take a quite cruise down one of their lovely many rivers. These rivers include the Tigris River, Euphrates River and other rivers such as Diyala, Little Zab, and Great Zab also flow through the country. My point is the are no longer just riding camels…lol..lol..lol..

So, today I am going to emphasis again that we must be patient and wait. Noone knows the date of the RV. Not even these idiot intel gurus i.e. TNT, Bruce, MarkZ, Frank 26 and an array of others. Our RV is coming but it is all attached to the reinstatement back to FOREX. This is a byproduct of all the reforms.

Iraq is now being methodically pieced back together and the goal is to have a booming economy. Why did it take 20 years? This timespan is based on two issues. One was the corrupt past U.S. adminstrations and the inability due to Chapter VII sanctions still being in place.

What we don’t know is exactly how far they have to go to get the reinstatement. My guess, and this is ONLY a guess is that when this Iranian issue is resolved we can expect wonderful things to occur. Heck… they told us today that by June they will have resolved the dollar crisis. We will not be exchanging at the rate we want until the U.S. says so. In the meantime, we will just have to suck it up and put on our BIG BOY pants and learn about our investment. The more I think about it the more I realize we would not have even wanted this RV during the Obama or Biden administrations anyhow since they would have only found creative ways to only take it from us. That’s what socialist do – Spend and tax, spend and tax.

______________________________________________

These prophecies 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 this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. 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 more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.

God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.

These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do 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.

PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.

____________________________________

HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?

Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.

Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.

Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.

This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9^th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

IS BRIGITTE MACRON REALLY A MAN?: ONE COINCIDENCE TOO MANY 

Please go watch a four part series sponsored by Candice Owens on what she found to answer this question. First of all why would anyone even ask this question.

You can visit the Mnt Goat Archives April 10th Newsletter here to continue watching the entire series of FACTS. Remember just because the deep state establishes a personality to use does not mean it is the background of the person in question. In other words, Brigitte’s past may be the past of someone else and just used to establish her/his credibility. The “official” records show Brigitte had a prior marriage and two children. No one is questioning these facts but they are actually talking about another person not Brigitte. You see, they take on the personality of someone else. They even photo shop pictures. They are good at this. However, they are getting caught now and the game is over. Just like in the U.S. with Clintons and Obamas they need to use the family structure to get into the hearts of the citizens to vote for them. Folks, it is all a lie and facade.

WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT THE DAVOS ELITE

Ever wonder who really is in charge? Former Prime Minister Liz Truss only lasted 6 months and was forced to resign as prime minister in the Great Britian for the conservative party. She was too conservative for the conservatives who actually didn’t want reform bad enough, as she proposed. So, they formulated a plan and ousted her out. Who actually runs the Great Britian?

Listen carefully and you can pull out of this conversation the issues facing Great Britian. Do they sound familiar? Nothing in Great Britian is based on common sense. Oh… who always talks about “common sense” politics?

You can clearly see that in the Trump policies he is not alone as to how politicians should operate for their own country and not some global entity.

BLACKROCK: THE CONSPIRACIES YOU DON’T KNOW

Time to take a good look at Blackrock Asset Management company. Afterall to figure out what is going on in Iraq just follow the money. Last week the company Blackrock announced the purchase of the Basra port in Iraq. So, what do you think they are up to? Let’s first learn about the company and at another time we will investigate more about this purchase.  

The fact of the matter is there is a concentration of the majority of investment wealth in three main asset management companies including: BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street. All of them own shares of each other. If one should fail they all would go down. But how can this happen as they each support the other. Essentially they are like one very huge conglomerate.

HEY UNITED STATES….YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

FARAGE MAKES A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT | REFORM PARTY LEADER ATTACKS THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS OF THE UK

Sound familiar? Yes, this is a global issue. The PUSH to destroy your countries is not coincidental. It is an orchestrated effort by the globalist elite. It is happening all over the world not just in the U.S. or Canada, only your major mainstream news media channels in your country refuse to tell the truth and are not letting you know the FACTS of what is happening in the rest of the world.

Yes, it is the UN that is “covertly” behind it. The U.S., is not alone in this fight. Look what they are doing to Canada and now Great Britian, your brother countries! They don’t give a damn about you only to use an upcoming crisis caused by their political mistakes to gain yet more power and control over you. Does this sound familiar what they are doing in the UK?   

Why do your politicians do it? Why do you keep voting to keep them to stay in control to accept this globalist ideology?

Listen carefully in the reforms he recommends. If you are in the U.S. do these reforms sound familiar?

There is a solution and it comes with “common sense” and with a party that is on your side. Is Nigel Farage the Donald Trump of the UK? Do you get it now what is going on?

WHO ARE THESE MODERN “LIBERALS” ANYHOW?

These visions of a post-national world are delusional. Ayaan Hirsi Ali during ARC 2025 speaks out against these neo-liberals and their ideology. Have they gone TOO far left we can now call them fascists and even Marxist Communists? If the shoe fits wear it!

WHAT DOES THE DEMOCRAT PARTY STAND FOR ANYWAY?

What is do bad about cutting waste and saving taxpayers billions, maybe even cutting your taxes as a result. Do they even know themselves? If you are a democrat and object to the Trump DOGE agency, then you might want to watch this video and learn something. I find it amazing how people forget so soon, if they ever even learned anything at all in the past.

WHAT YOU ARE NOT BEING TOLD ABOUT THE UN AGENDA 2030

If you ever wondered where this woke stuff comes from you can clearly see it is a non-elected body of people with their lofty ideas for humanity. It’s called the United Nations leadership team. Actually, it’s about lining their own pockets and pockets of their big paying supporters. Of course, they use their fancy narratives to lend credibility to what they propose and to get you to go along with it. But we have already seen with UN Agenda 2021 has done to the world, that in really it is not about equality, racial justice or any of their other narratives, but just all about more CONTROL. Listen carefully what they want to do, not what they say. Who the hell are these people anyhow to force their own design upon the world?

One last note. There is a reason why President Trump is defunding these UN agencies. See if you can understand it more after watching this video. I am here to try to help you understand. These Un guys are marching to the tune of Marxists Communist ideology.

CONTROL- CONTROL- AND MORE CONTROL

It is LENT time for us Catholics. We are winding down LENT as it is now Holy Week. Why not take advantage of the LENTEN season and pray. You don’t have to be Catholic to pray….lol..lol.. Praying the rosaries for me is my way to pray and has had a significant impact on my life and focus during this Easter season. I find it is good to remember the Stations of the Cross during lent and what our savior did for us. In know many of you may not be Catholics or even Christians but try to take a different approach this Easter. Try to see what all the fuss is about Christ. Put yourself in Christ shoes (or should I say sandals) as an ordinary person in today’s world. You can quickly see that the nature of man has not changed very much and if Christ were born today, many would probably try to crucify him. Have we not learned anything?

MP: JUNE WILL MARK THE END OF DOLLAR SMUGGLING IN IRAQ

Member of Parliament Majid Shingal confirmed on Sunday that June will witness an end to dollar smuggling operations, noting that strict oversight will be imposed on the funds of companies, politicians, and influential people. 

Shingal said in a statement monitored by (IQ): “Our transfers are currently considered dollar smuggling, but the situation is now better. I believe that in June, regular correspondence will be adopted, which will significantly reduce smuggling, and may even lead to its near disappearance.” 

He noted that “some type of oversight will be imposed on the payment system in Iraq, including knowing who paid, how they paid, and where the money was spent. These processes will be automated to ensure transparency and track expenditures.”
 
Shingal explained: “The goal of these measures is to reduce the amount of support provided to factions and those loyal to Iran. It is true that reaching zero support is not currently possible, but we are very close to achieving it, and this is the primary goal.” He added, “Another goal is the entry of 60 American companies into the Iraqi market daily, and this is a very positive sign.” 

 
Shingali continued, “I heard that there is a freeze (block) of some politicians’ funds in foreign banks, and this is said, but I do not know how true it is. In the same month, the official audit will begin, and these accounts will be revealed, to whom they belong, and where they were transferred. It is worth noting that these accounts are located in Europe and can be stopped at any moment.” 

He concluded by saying, “These politicians always benefit from the money they steal from people in their countries and deposit in foreign banks, but in the end, they get nothing from it. To this day, the former regime’s assets have not been recovered, and there is still money deposited in anonymous bank accounts, frozen in Switzerland and other countries.”

AL-MASHHADANI TO THE AMERICAN DELEGATION: THE UNITED STATES IS ONE OF IRAQ’S MOST IMPORTANT STRATEGIC PARTNERS.

Al-Mashhadani receives US Chargé d’Affaires Daniel Rubenstein and an economic delegation from the American Chamber of Commerce.

On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at the Presidential Palace in Baghdad, Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, received the Chargé d’Affaires of the US Embassy in Iraq, Daniel Rubenstein. Rubenstein was accompanied by a large economic delegation from the US Chamber of Commerce, including representatives of 57 American companies, headed by Lotus Steve, and a number of company presidents and investors. The meeting was held as part of the US Chamber of Commerce’s economic conference in Iraq.

Al-Mashhadani affirmed, according to a statement received by Al-Jabal, that “Iraq welcomes all initiatives that contribute to developing its economy and strengthening its international partnerships, particularly with the United States, which represents one of its most important strategic partners in various fields.”

The Speaker of Parliament emphasized “the critical importance of investment in Iraq, particularly in vital and strategic sectors such as oil and electricity, which represent the backbone of the Iraqi economy. He also emphasized the need to stimulate investment in the agricultural and industrial sectors, as well as in service sectors that are vital to the lives of Iraqi citizens, such as the environment, education, and health.”

Al-Mashhadani explained that “the Iraqi Parliament has enacted an investment law that provides a secure and stimulating legal environment for investment, protects investor rights, and encourages transparency and equal opportunities.”

He pointed out that “Parliament, as the ‘house of the people,’ ensures a dignified and safe life for citizens and works closely with the government through effective coordination mechanisms to support development projects and facilitate investment.” He stressed that “the Iraqi Parliament strongly supports the signing of bilateral agreements with friendly countries, which contribute to stimulating economic activity, attracting more foreign investment, and creating new job opportunities that contribute to reducing unemployment and enhancing economic stability.”

According to the statement, Daniel Rubenstein, Chargé d’Affaires at the US Embassy in Baghdad, affirmed “his country’s commitment to supporting Iraq on its path towards economic development and stability, and strengthening partnerships between the American and Iraqi private sectors.”

Lutz Steve, head of the US trade delegation, emphasized that “Iraq represents a promising investment market, and that US companies are looking forward to cooperation opportunities in various sectors, with a focus on creating job opportunities for Iraqi youth and contributing to the development of infrastructure and vital services.”

AL-NUSAIRI CONFIRMS THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE BANKING REFORM PROJECT ANNOUNCED BY THE CENTRAL BANK WILL YIELD PROMISING RESULTS.

Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi confirmed that the banking reform project announced by the Central Bank is consistent with the methodology included and adopted in the government program and the Central Bank’s third strategy for the years 2023 and 2024.

It will yield promising results in cooperation with global consulting firms Ernst & Young, K2, and Oliver Wyman to build a transparent information base for comprehensive reform, starting with the banking sector as the first essential link in the economy. Without a sound, solid, and modern banking sector, a strong and robust national economy cannot be built.

Al-Nusairi pointed out that among the important initial results achieved is the commencement of the completion of the actual implementation of the plans drawn up during 2025 and 2026 for comprehensive reform, which are summarized in enhancing financial inclusion and achieving stimulating and sustainable returns for shareholders and investors, and the government and the Central Bank leading projects aimed at modernizing the private banking sector and meeting the needs of the transition to a rapidly growing national economy, creating a fair competitive environment in the banking market, and raising the level of private banks’ ability to confront risks and protect depositors and creditors, thus restoring confidence in the banking sector in general, as well as expanding digital transformation procedures, expanding and diversifying banking services and products, and complying with international standards.

Al-Nusairi pointed out that the above objectives, which were discussed yesterday at the Banking Reform Conference, are established as primary and secondary objectives in the Central Bank’s third strategy for the years 2024-2026, and that work is being done on them with a steady, systematic approach, and that the objectives will be achieved in cooperation with Oliver and Eman at an accelerated pace in the years 2025 and 2026.

It is clear that the Central Bank, in cooperation with relevant authorities, will focus on the following: sharing with the private banking sector detailed criteria and timelines for implementing the reform process, activating support channels, and holding workshops to provide technical assistance. The Central Bank of Iraq is fully committed to achieving this transformation by working closely with all relevant stakeholders to pave the way for a strong, resilient, modern, and inclusive financial and banking system.

US FEARS THE POPULAR MOBILIZATION LAW… “IT THREATENS WASHINGTON’S INTERESTS AND CREATES A NEW REVOLUTIONARY GUARD.”

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy called on the US administration, headed by Donald Trump, to send a “calm and firm” message to the Iraqi government regarding the risks of passing a new law related to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), warning that this legislation would transform the PMF into an entity similar to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

The institute stated in a report translated by Shafaq News Agency that “the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) have been considered a threat to US national security interests and Iraqi civilians for years,” noting that “US-designated terrorists hold senior leadership positions within the PMF, including the head of the organization and the chief of staff, exploiting this institutional structure to secure government salaries for tens of thousands of militia members affiliated with designated terrorist groups such as Kata’ib Hezbollah and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq.”

He considered that “these practices represent blatant manipulation,” noting that “Baghdad is currently studying two legislative projects that could grant the Popular Mobilization Forces greater legitimacy as a national security institution. The first is the Popular Mobilization Forces Service and Retirement Law, which the report described as internally aiming to remove leaders of rival militias. The second, and more important, is the amended Popular Mobilization Forces Authority Law, which restructures the Mobilization Forces within a formal framework resembling a ministerial institution.”

According to the report, passing the new law would consolidate the Popular Mobilization Forces, which number approximately 238,000 members, as a parallel armed force with powers at the local and regional levels. The report emphasized that “the legislation will consolidate the Popular Mobilization Forces’ status as a permanent structure within the Iraqi security sector, not as an emergency force, but rather as a ministry-like institution that would be difficult to reform or dissolve later.”

He also warned that the draft law explicitly refers to the Popular Mobilization Forces as the “guarantor of the political system,” led by Shiite factions since 2003, similar to the role of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. This weakens the standing and prestige of the Iraqi armed forces and grants the militias broad powers that could include “militarizing the political process, from candidate registration to voting and government formation.”

The report also warned that the legislation could encourage militias to repeat the violence against demonstrators and civil society organizations, as occurred during the 2019 protests, it said.

He called on the Trump administration to act quickly and convey its clear objections to officials in Baghdad, via direct messages to the President, Prime Minister, and Speaker of Parliament, to prevent the bill from being referred to the House of Representatives for ratification. He noted that such a step would not require a significant American effort, but rather a “firm signal behind the scenes.”

He pointed out that the current tense regional situation presents Washington with a powerful opportunity to exert pressure, as the United States is redeploying its forces extensively, while Iraqi militias are keen to remain outside the US targeting circle. This provides Washington with leverage that must be used wisely to prevent “the birth of a new Revolutionary Guard in the heart of the region,” as the report put it.

According to the report, the institute called on decision-makers in the White House and the US embassy in Baghdad to urgently reinforce this message and shift from quiet pressure tools to more vocal ones, including imposing sanctions on the Popular Mobilization Forces as a whole, as Washington previously did with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

He explained that “these sanctions will have a broad financial impact within the Iraqi financial system, given that the Popular Mobilization Forces receive their salaries from the Iraqi government.”

The report continued, stating that “early US action to block this legislation would demonstrate the Trump administration’s awareness of the delicate developments in Iraq and its ability to deter Iranian-backed groups without waiting for a military escalation via drones or kidnappings and killings of Americans.”

The report concluded with a recommendation not to be satisfied with warnings, but to take concrete steps, such as imposing immediate sanctions on the General Engineer Company, the economic wing of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), which the report likened to the Khatam al-Anbiya Foundation, the economic conglomerate affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has long been subject to international sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations.

US OFFICIAL: WE HAVE HUGE OPPORTUNITIES IN IRAQ

The Vice President of the US Chamber of Commerce, Steve Lutes, announced that “his country’s companies in the energy and healthcare sectors will visit Baghdad in the coming period,” stressing that “there are tremendous opportunities in Iraq.”

A US delegation arrived in Iraq last Monday, the largest US trade mission ever, comprising representatives from 60 companies across various sectors.

In a statement seen by Al-Masry Al-Youm on Thursday, Lutz said, “The American delegation listened to a speech by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani regarding relations between Iraq and the United States and ways to develop them.”

He added, “The US economic delegation signed several important agreements with Iraq, some of which were attended by the Iraqi Prime Minister, and this was in coordination with the US Treasury Department.”

Lutz noted that “this visit will be a new spark for developing relations between American economic and business companies and Iraq, especially given the many investment opportunities we seek to capitalize on in light of the long-term partnership with our Iraqi partners.”

TO BOOST THE ECONOMY, THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANK IS THE OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF THE IRAQI BUSINESS SUMMIT.

The International Development Bank announced its official sponsorship of the Iraqi Business Summit (IBS).

The summit will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025, in Celebration Square-stage Al-Mansour Downtown Baghdad. The summit will be held with broad participation from local and international economic institutions and investment companies.

AN ECONOMIST PROPOSES A WAY TO TRANSFORM IRAQ INTO AN “ACTIVE REGIONAL PLAYER.”

An economic expert has proposed a practical way to transform Iraq from what he calls a “field of influence” into a “power” and an “active regional player” in the worlds of politics and economics.

Economic expert, Manar Al-Obaidi, pointed out in a post on his social media account that, “At a time when countries around the world, whether allied or hostile, are rushing to win the favor of the Donald Trump administration, realizing that survival lies in distancing themselves from an administration that sees its international relations as nothing more than a means to achieve its own interests, Iraq remains a spectator to this dynamic scene.” He noted that “neighboring countries from north to south and from east to west are making direct offers to the United States, in an attempt to protect their security and stability by securing their national interests, while Iraq is often left as part of the negotiating tools rather than an actual participant in them.”

The economic expert believes that “the use of Iraq as a bargaining chip is no longer limited to the Iranian side. Arab and Turkish parties have also entered the fray, and various Iraqi issues are sometimes managed as part of understandings or escalation deals between regional powers and the United States.”

He said: “Amidst this landscape, Iraq has a rare opportunity to transform from a mere arena of influence into an effective regional player, if it makes good use of its economic tools. One of the most prominent of these possible tools is the proposal to establish an Iraqi-American investment fund, financed by the export revenues of no less than 100,000 barrels of oil per day, sold directly to the United States. These revenues would be allocated exclusively to investment in the American market, forming the nucleus of a sovereign fund capable of generating long-term profits for the Iraqi state.”

According to Al-Obaidi, “developing this fund and enhancing its investments would create mutual economic interest with the United States and transform Iraq into a political force with regional influence, linked by long-term strategic economic relations, rather than remaining a tool in the hands of negotiators at a table to which it is not invited.”

IRAQ INTENDS TO PURCHASE AND MANUFACTURE 23 CRUISE SHIPS

The Ministry of Transport intends to contract for the purchase and manufacture of 23 different vessels and boats to support the river transport sector and stimulate its movement locally and internationally as part of a plan to revitalize the sector in the country.

The Director General of the Ministry’s General Maritime Transport Company, Ahmed Al-Asadi, said his company intends to contract for the purchase of 15 tourist boats to activate the river taxi project, in conjunction with the Ministry’s plan to develop the Corniche dock in Basra Governorate, which is currently being referred for implementation.  

He added that his company is planning to build eight new vessels, and has submitted the project to the Cabinet Secretariat to obtain the necessary approvals. He revealed that the company has begun receiving offers from companies for the purpose of joint operation with the company’s fleet for integrated transportation of various types of vessels. He pointed out that the completion of these contracts will complete the transportation mechanism for his company from containers, ships and docks, as it owns shares in a commercial dock and another for oil.

ABOUT THE NEWSLETTER:

April 10, 2025 Mnt Goat News Brief

Guten Tag everyone:

I have some news for you today. Not the RV yet, but we see this news is leading us to it shortly.  

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.

Since 2013, I have taken my own time from my gasthaus business to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to spend my time doing all this. My time is hard to find, as I have to hold down two formal jobs already due to COVID just to keep the business going. So, I do it out of charity and love with the understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. As I am saying this take time and is like a third job.

I recommend $10 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write eight (8) Newsletters every month. I have to investigate the news and try to pull out the FACTS, then pull off the articles from Iraqi news channels, translate them, talk to my contact in Iraq and then write and publish the Newsletter. Do you think perhaps a little gift might show some appreciation for all this hard work? Just asking…. Still only a hand full of readers help out each month. Enough said….. The future of the Newsletter depends upon you.

 Let’s all try to chip in!

2 Corinthians   

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

STATUS OF THE RV

Wasn’t all the news from my April 8^TH Newsletter wonderful? There is not much news to report on today. But what we do have is yet more good news, this time stemming around building the Iraqi economy. I will not talk about all the articles today in this commentary. You can go read them for yourself it you are interested. But I will say that Iraq is moving ahead regardless of the many obstacles they keep throwing in front of them. This is the uphill battle they fight every day. There is also some bad news too today, but it is what I believe is just “informative bad news” and will not actually occur and can’t occur. If you read the article today on this subject matter of the Iranian militias, you will clearly see why I am saying this.

Have you noticed that the news no longer revolves all around the corruption but instead the Rafidain Bank and the use of it along with the digital dinar for dealing in foreign transactions. Iraq is now building their data center to handle the digital dinar and it is soon to come online. Let me remind everyone that Europe and digital Euro is planned for implementation in October of this year. Could this also be a target for Iraq? Also in the background remember that the “Development Road Project” is still underway and the  initial funding for the first “Economic City” was provided. The roadways and rail lines are being build to run north and south, extending out east and west to the main ports of entry/planned cities to transport goods and materials needed into vital parts of Iraq much like the U.S. highway systems runs. This is what is going to bring the economic boom. Iraq has also opened up to the strong possibility that their future revenues cannot rely solely on oil.

However, there are still a number of troublesome issues with the left-over Iranian militias. This is still at the root of the problem in Iraq. Yes, these pain-in-the-asses still linger like used gum on the bottom of your shoe. What the hell to do with almost a quarter billion militia? Do you disarm them and then find them jobs? You must first create the jobs. Do you allow them then to vote in the upcoming elections? Can’t send them back to Iran or can they? What does the U.S. demand? These are questions they are asking and must solve.

So, Iraq is not yet out of the proverbial doghouse yet on these issues. The first step is to disarm them and can they even be able to do this? Let’s explore these issues today so we can understand what is taking place. As investors in the Iraqi dinar, we must learn to take the bad news along with the good. We must be realists and stop lying to ourselves, as many of these intel gurus do to their listeners. I am not throwing away all this progress we have seen over these last two year,s but I am saying we must also realize there is still work to be done. We don’t need to go off half-cocked and disappointed either, as things are moving quickly now and we are not talking about years maybe months at most.

☹In the article titled “US FEARS THE POPULAR MOBILIZATION LAW… “IT THREATENS WASHINGTON’S INTERESTS AND CREATES A NEW REVOLUTIONARY GUARD.” The Washington Institute for Near East Policy called on the US administration, headed by Donald Trump, to send a “calm and firm” message to the Iraqi government regarding the risks of passing a new law related to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), warning that this legislation would transform the PMF into an entity similar to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.  

He considered that “these practices represent blatant manipulation,” noting that “Baghdad is currently studying two legislative projects that could grant the Popular Mobilization Forces greater legitimacy as a national security institution. (Oh no, we don’t want this! )

1.The first is the Popular Mobilization Forces Service and Retirement Law, which the report described as internally aiming to remove leaders of rival militias.

2.The second, and more important, is the amended Popular Mobilization Forces Authority Law, which restructures the Mobilization Forces within a formal framework resembling a ministerial institution.”

According to the report, passing the new law would consolidate the Popular Mobilization Forces, which number approximately 238,000 members, as a parallel armed force with powers at the local and regional levels. The report emphasized that “the legislation will consolidate the Popular Mobilization Forces’ status as a permanent structure within the Iraqi security sector, not as an emergency force, but rather as a ministry-like institution that would be difficult to reform or dissolve later.”

He also warned that the draft law explicitly refers to the Popular Mobilization Forces as the “guarantor of the political system,” led by Shiite factions since 2003, similar to the role of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. This weakens the standing and prestige of the Iraqi armed forces and grants the militias broad powers that could include “militarizing the political process, from candidate registration to voting and government formation.”

In other words if this law did pass, it would make these militias legitimate piece of the Iraqi armed forces, loyal towards Iran and not Iraq. The Iranian backed politicians could use these forces to bend the will of the Iraqi people and I quote from the article “draft law explicitly refers to the Popular Mobilization Forces as the “guarantor of the political system,” They would be legal and hard to disband at this point.

So, what would this accomplish in line with the Trump administrations goals of isolating Iran and getting Iran out of Iraq altogether? It absolutely would do just the opposite and so when we read articles earlier in the week about disarming the Iranian backed militia this seemed to be all good news for us and finally there was hope. Now we hear this news today and it makes us wonder what the hell is going on. Of course, this new law is backed by the Iranian politicians and we must realize and see clearly that they simply do not want to lose their current influence in Iraq. All we can do as investors is now sit back and see what happens with this new “draft” law. It certainly can’t become law and enforced. I do not think the U.S. is going to allow it.

😊Meanwhile we also have some more good news today. In the article titled “US OFFICIAL: WE HAVE HUGE OPPORTUNITIES IN IRAQ” we learn that the Vice President of the US Chamber of Commerce, Steve Lutes, announced that “his country’s companies in the energy and healthcare sectors will visit Baghdad in the coming period,” stressing that “there are tremendous opportunities in Iraq.”

A US delegation arrived in Iraq last Monday, the largest US trade mission ever, comprising representatives from 60 companies across various sectors.

In a statement seen by Al-Masry Al-Youm on Thursday, Lutz said, “The American delegation listened to a speech by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani regarding relations between Iraq and the United States and ways to develop them.”

He added, “The US economic delegation signed several important agreements with Iraq, some of which were attended by the Iraqi Prime Minister, and this was in coordination with the US Treasury Department.” Lutz noted that “this visit will be a new spark for developing relations between American economic and business companies and Iraq, especially given the many investment opportunities we seek to capitalize on in light of the long-term partnership with our Iraqi partners.”

I know this second article sounds very hopeful for Iraq but remember this U.S. involvement comes with strings attached. Iraq must clean up its act and get rid of the Iranian influence. Americans do not want to deal with these militias as they are a threat to American business in Iraq. This is not how America likes to do business.

To summarize the status of the RV today I have to also add that the reinstatement to FOREX was NEVER planned for this week or last week. We should also not expect it next week either. If we follow the news and progress in Iraq there is going to come to a point in time when they begin talking more and more about three topics in their news: The Project to Delete the Zeros, the digital dinar and the WTO accession. I am told that when these three issues come up in the news in a short span apart and discussed in detail, we can expect something BIG to occur and my CBI contact informed me she was  already told to prepare going back to the committee for the currency change-out to the newer lower denominations, so we know this period of time is closer than we think with the convergence of these three topics in the news.

There is not much more to add to my commentary today, as we are winding up to the Easter Sunday / Resurrection Sunday next week and warmer weather to pop out. This is a time of hope in many directions and instead of being sad-sacks we all should be cheering with joy for the many blessings we already have and what God, through his prophets, has told us and is more imminent than ever is coming VERY SHORTLY! Remember this is the moment for many of these prophecies foretold a decade ago to come to pass. This is the time and we can all feel it. Embrace it and keep praying for it. This is the entry of the “Golden Age” of American. Stop and think why God is telling us this if not for a great wealth transfer that is coming. God does not lie to us! 😊    

I encourage everyone to stay focused too on Julie Green and other prophecies that I bring you. Yes, these are AMAZING TIMES!

I want to add that in the blog comments someone asked me if “Any Chance to get back to Dinar info”. When I read it, I said to myself “you got to be kidding”! All I can say is this person just still does not get it. All the effort I put into bringing all the tools at our disposal to truly understand what is going on. I am only presenting information to you because it’s all interconnected. I am so sad to see that this person still does not see the connections. He/she still does not get it. Folks corruption is ramped not just in Iraq but globally in all the developed countries. Get it? Do you really think they are going unleash all this money under these corrupt conditions? Remember the U.S. has the highest level of influence thus they will allow or disallow the reinstatement. What will it take to wake you up? Seems maybe my blog is not for you. If you want your daily dose of intel dinar guru hype, there are other sites you can go to. There is plenty of that bullshit to go around…..

_______________________________________

What can we as investors do right now?

• Pray and pray some more for the people of Iraq
• Be very patient….
• Do not sell your dinar….  
• No more silly intel guru talk….
• No more NESARA / GESARA crazy talk
• Stop listening to all these idiots as they are only confusing you more and more (especially TNT, Frank26 and “The Big Call” idiots.)
• Don’t over speculate and set unjustified expectations, be real and stick to the FACTS.

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

                                             Just the FACTS!

______________________________________________

These prophecies 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 this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. 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 more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.

God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.

These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do 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.

From God to the PROPHET:  Julie Green

“Many Things Are About To Change Drastically In Your Nation”

Prophecy can be found at the 21:00 mark. It is from April 5th.  

_______________________________________

“Expose of the Biden Years and Who Was Really in Charge”

Prophecy can be found at the 21:33 mark. Third one from April 5th.  

WOW! WOW! WOW!

___________________________________________

PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.

____________________________________

HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?

Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.

Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.

Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.

This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9^th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

IS BRIGITTE MACRON REALLY A MAN?: ONE COINCIDENCE TOO MANY 

I think many of my readers might think this is a silly and foolish topic to even bring up. You might add that “of course Brigette is a woman” and “who cares”. I first thought the same when I clicked and watched these presentations by Candice Owens. All I can say is listen to the evidence. Then judge for yourself. Is it all just a waste of your time? I respect Candice and her research.

I encourage you to watch all four (4) episodes and then decide if Brigitte could actually be a man and could have been running a pedophilia organization. I know each episode is a bit long and we all want instant gratification these days, but sometimes you have to work a little to get to the bottom of the TRUTH. So, remember you can also come back to my Archives at any time and continue to watch all the other episodes. You don’t have to watch them all today. Here is the Newsletter Archive link.

I want to bring out one last note. Remember the prophets told us from God that “what can be exposed, will be exposed” and many people even after hearing all the FACTS will refuse to believe the TRUTH about all these conspiracies as they will be unbelievable that these sorts of things could even actually happen, and they could get away with them for so long.

But I believe they have and unless you stand up to them they will continue. Let’s just take the conspiracy on Iraq and the all the money that was stolen. Do you actually think the U.S. would allow such a thing, if these U.S. politicians were not also getting their share of it? Really now are you that dumb? You all want to know what is holding up the RV and so I am trying to show you, bit by bit.

When will the TRUTH also come out about the death of the real Joe Bidin in 2019, at just the start of his campaign for president. Then who is the actor put in his place for the next four years? Then what are Michelle’s and Barrack Obama’s real sexual orientations?  In a democratic society we must keep asking these questions and find the TRUTH.

Don’t you believe for one second that they can’t fool us as they are very good at this. But you can’t hide all the TRUTH all the time. People have lives and friends these are liabilities and someone or something such as the facts are all going to be exposed.

The real reason why I present this to my readers is because it has everything to do with the Iraqi dinar revaluation. If they can lie about somethings as simple as these false identities, then don’t you think they could have concocted the entire scheme with Iraq to steal trillions of oil revenue over these last two decades? Did they use the currency auctions and parallel market as “fronts” to front the money stolen to substantiate that the money was stolen and shifted to Iran when in reality, much of it never actually made it to Iran but into the pockets of these rich politicians. Sure, some may have gone to Iran but don’t you think this scheme would be all too tempting for many U.S. politicians not to have their hand in the proverbial “cookie jar” ? Come’ on folks you are not that dumb.

__________________________________________

WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT THE DAVOS ELITE

Ever wonder who really is in charge? Former Prime Minister Liz Truss only lasted 6 months and was forced to resign as prime minister in the Great Britian for the conservative party. She was too conservative for the conservatives who actually didn’t want reform bad enough, as she proposed. So, they formulated a plan and ousted her out. Who actually runs the Great Britian?

Listen carefully and you can pull out of this conversation the issues facing Great Britian. Do they sound familiar? Nothing in Great Britian is based on common sense. Oh… who always talks about “common sense” politics?

You can clearly see that in the Trump policies he is not alone as to how politicians should operate for their own country and not some global entity.

____________________________________________

BLACKROCK: THE CONSPIRACIES YOU DON’T KNOW

Time to take a good look at Blackrock Asset Management company. Afterall to figure out what is going on in Iraq just follow the money. Last week the company Blackrock announced the purchase of the Basra port in Iraq. So, what do you think they are up to? Let’s first learn about the company and at another time we will investigate more about this purchase.  

The fact of the matter is there is a concentration of the majority of investment wealth in three main asset management companies including: BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street. All of them own shares of each other. If one should fail they all would go down. But how can this happen as they each support the other. Essentially they are like one very huge conglomerate.

HOW DID THE UKRAINE WAR BEGIN, JEFFREY SACHS MAKES FIERY SPEECH 

The Truth about the Russian / Ukraine is all about the violation of the Minsk agreements and keeping NATO and its missiles out of Ukraine. Was this war really just a U.S. proxy war? What was Putin’s real intention in the war?

HEY UNITED STATES….YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

FARAGE MAKES A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT | REFORM PARTY LEADER ATTACKS THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS OF THE UK

Sound familiar? Yes, this is a global issue. The PUSH to destroy your countries is not coincidental. It is an orchestrated effort by the globalist elite. It is happening all over the world not just in the U.S. or Canada, only your major mainstream news media channels in your country refuse to tell the truth and are not letting you know the FACTS of what is happening in the rest of the world.

Yes, it is the UN that is “covertly” behind it. The U.S., is not alone in this fight. Look what they are doing to Canada and now Great Britian, your brother countries! They don’t give a damn about you only to use an upcoming crisis caused by their political mistakes to gain yet more power and control over you. Does this sound familiar what they are doing in the UK?   

Why do your politicians do it? Why do you keep voting to keep them to stay in control to accept this globalist ideology?

Listen carefully in the reforms he recommends. If you are in the U.S. do these reforms sound familiar?

There is a solution and it comes with “common sense” and with a party that is on your side. Is Nigel Farage the Donald Trump of the UK? Do you get it now what is going on?

_________________________________________

WHO ARE THESE MODERN “LIBERALS” ANYHOW?

These visions of a post-national world are delusional. Ayaan Hirsi Ali during ARC 2025 speaks out against these neo-liberals and their ideology. Have they gone TOO far left we can now call them fascists and even Marxist Communists? If the shoe fits wear it!

_________________________________________

WHAT DOES THE DEMOCRAT PARTY STAND FOR ANYWAY?

What is do bad about cutting waste and saving taxpayers billions, maybe even cutting your taxes as a result. Do they even know themselves? If you are a democrat and object to the Trump DOGE agency, then you might want to watch this video and learn something. I find it amazing how people forget so soon, if they ever even learned anything at all in the past.

WHAT YOU ARE NOT BEING TOLD ABOUT THE UN AGENDA 2030

If you ever wondered where this woke stuff comes from you can clearly see it is a non-elected body of people with their lofty ideas for humanity. It’s called the United Nations leadership team. Actually, it’s about lining their own pockets and pockets of their big paying supporters. Of course, they use their fancy narratives to lend credibility to what they propose and to get you to go along with it. But we have already seen with UN Agenda 2021 has done to the world, that in really it is not about equality, racial justice or any of their other narratives, but just all about more CONTROL. Listen carefully what they want to do, not what they say. Who the hell are these people anyhow to force their own design upon the world?

One last note. There is a reason why President Trump is defunding these UN agencies. See if you can understand it more after watching this video. I am here to try to help you understand. These Un guys are marching to the tune of Marxists Communist ideology.

CONTROL- CONTROL- AND MORE CONTROL

Please try to remember to pray each and every day. In Hebrews 11:6, it underscores this principle of why we pray: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

It is LENT time for us Catholics. We are winding down LENT as Palm Sunday is just around the corner. Why not take advantage of the LENTEN season and pray. Praying the rosaries for me is my way to pray and has had a significant impact on my life and focus during this Easter season. I find it is good to remember the Stations of the Cross during lent and what our savior did for us. In know many of you may not be Catholics or even Christians but try to take a different approach this Easter. Try to see what all the fuss is about Christ. Put yourself in Christ shoes (or should I say sandals) as an ordinary person in today’s world. You can quickly see that the nature of man has not changed very much and if Christ were born today, many would probably try to crucify him. Have we not learned anything?

AL-MASHHADANI TO THE AMERICAN DELEGATION: THE UNITED STATES IS ONE OF IRAQ’S MOST IMPORTANT STRATEGIC PARTNERS.

Al-Mashhadani receives US Chargé d’Affaires Daniel Rubenstein and an economic delegation from the American Chamber of Commerce.

On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at the Presidential Palace in Baghdad, Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, received the Chargé d’Affaires of the US Embassy in Iraq, Daniel Rubenstein. Rubenstein was accompanied by a large economic delegation from the US Chamber of Commerce, including representatives of 57 American companies, headed by Lotus Steve, and a number of company presidents and investors. The meeting was held as part of the US Chamber of Commerce’s economic conference in Iraq.

Al-Mashhadani affirmed, according to a statement received by Al-Jabal, that “Iraq welcomes all initiatives that contribute to developing its economy and strengthening its international partnerships, particularly with the United States, which represents one of its most important strategic partners in various fields.”

The Speaker of Parliament emphasized “the critical importance of investment in Iraq, particularly in vital and strategic sectors such as oil and electricity, which represent the backbone of the Iraqi economy. He also emphasized the need to stimulate investment in the agricultural and industrial sectors, as well as in service sectors that are vital to the lives of Iraqi citizens, such as the environment, education, and health.”

Al-Mashhadani explained that “the Iraqi Parliament has enacted an investment law that provides a secure and stimulating legal environment for investment, protects investor rights, and encourages transparency and equal opportunities.”

He pointed out that “Parliament, as the ‘house of the people,’ ensures a dignified and safe life for citizens and works closely with the government through effective coordination mechanisms to support development projects and facilitate investment.” He stressed that “the Iraqi Parliament strongly supports the signing of bilateral agreements with friendly countries, which contribute to stimulating economic activity, attracting more foreign investment, and creating new job opportunities that contribute to reducing unemployment and enhancing economic stability.”

According to the statement, Daniel Rubenstein, Chargé d’Affaires at the US Embassy in Baghdad, affirmed “his country’s commitment to supporting Iraq on its path towards economic development and stability, and strengthening partnerships between the American and Iraqi private sectors.”

Lutz Steve, head of the US trade delegation, emphasized that “Iraq represents a promising investment market, and that US companies are looking forward to cooperation opportunities in various sectors, with a focus on creating job opportunities for Iraqi youth and contributing to the development of infrastructure and vital services.”

AL-NUSAIRI CONFIRMS THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE BANKING REFORM PROJECT ANNOUNCED BY THE CENTRAL BANK WILL YIELD PROMISING RESULTS.

Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi confirmed that the banking reform project announced by the Central Bank is consistent with the methodology included and adopted in the government program and the Central Bank’s third strategy for the years 2023 and 2024.

It will yield promising results in cooperation with global consulting firms Ernst & Young, K2, and Oliver Wyman to build a transparent information base for comprehensive reform, starting with the banking sector as the first essential link in the economy. Without a sound, solid, and modern banking sector, a strong and robust national economy cannot be built.

Al-Nusairi pointed out that among the important initial results achieved is the commencement of the completion of the actual implementation of the plans drawn up during 2025 and 2026 for comprehensive reform, which are summarized in enhancing financial inclusion and achieving stimulating and sustainable returns for shareholders and investors, and the government and the Central Bank leading projects aimed at modernizing the private banking sector and meeting the needs of the transition to a rapidly growing national economy, creating a fair competitive environment in the banking market, and raising the level of private banks’ ability to confront risks and protect depositors and creditors, thus restoring confidence in the banking sector in general, as well as expanding digital transformation procedures, expanding and diversifying banking services and products, and complying with international standards.

Al-Nusairi pointed out that the above objectives, which were discussed yesterday at the Banking Reform Conference, are established as primary and secondary objectives in the Central Bank’s third strategy for the years 2024-2026, and that work is being done on them with a steady, systematic approach, and that the objectives will be achieved in cooperation with Oliver and Eman at an accelerated pace in the years 2025 and 2026.

It is clear that the Central Bank, in cooperation with relevant authorities, will focus on the following: sharing with the private banking sector detailed criteria and timelines for implementing the reform process, activating support channels, and holding workshops to provide technical assistance. The Central Bank of Iraq is fully committed to achieving this transformation by working closely with all relevant stakeholders to pave the way for a strong, resilient, modern, and inclusive financial and banking system.

US FEARS THE POPULAR MOBILIZATION LAW… “IT THREATENS WASHINGTON’S INTERESTS AND CREATES A NEW REVOLUTIONARY GUARD.”

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy called on the US administration, headed by Donald Trump, to send a “calm and firm” message to the Iraqi government regarding the risks of passing a new law related to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), warning that this legislation would transform the PMF into an entity similar to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

The institute stated in a report translated by Shafaq News Agency that “the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) have been considered a threat to US national security interests and Iraqi civilians for years,” noting that “US-designated terrorists hold senior leadership positions within the PMF, including the head of the organization and the chief of staff, exploiting this institutional structure to secure government salaries for tens of thousands of militia members affiliated with designated terrorist groups such as Kata’ib Hezbollah and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq.”

He considered that “these practices represent blatant manipulation,” noting that “Baghdad is currently studying two legislative projects that could grant the Popular Mobilization Forces greater legitimacy as a national security institution. The first is the Popular Mobilization Forces Service and Retirement Law, which the report described as internally aiming to remove leaders of rival militias. The second, and more important, is the amended Popular Mobilization Forces Authority Law, which restructures the Mobilization Forces within a formal framework resembling a ministerial institution.”

According to the report, passing the new law would consolidate the Popular Mobilization Forces, which number approximately 238,000 members, as a parallel armed force with powers at the local and regional levels. The report emphasized that “the legislation will consolidate the Popular Mobilization Forces’ status as a permanent structure within the Iraqi security sector, not as an emergency force, but rather as a ministry-like institution that would be difficult to reform or dissolve later.”

He also warned that the draft law explicitly refers to the Popular Mobilization Forces as the “guarantor of the political system,” led by Shiite factions since 2003, similar to the role of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. This weakens the standing and prestige of the Iraqi armed forces and grants the militias broad powers that could include “militarizing the political process, from candidate registration to voting and government formation.”

The report also warned that the legislation could encourage militias to repeat the violence against demonstrators and civil society organizations, as occurred during the 2019 protests, it said.

He called on the Trump administration to act quickly and convey its clear objections to officials in Baghdad, via direct messages to the President, Prime Minister, and Speaker of Parliament, to prevent the bill from being referred to the House of Representatives for ratification. He noted that such a step would not require a significant American effort, but rather a “firm signal behind the scenes.”

He pointed out that the current tense regional situation presents Washington with a powerful opportunity to exert pressure, as the United States is redeploying its forces extensively, while Iraqi militias are keen to remain outside the US targeting circle. This provides Washington with leverage that must be used wisely to prevent “the birth of a new Revolutionary Guard in the heart of the region,” as the report put it.

According to the report, the institute called on decision-makers in the White House and the US embassy in Baghdad to urgently reinforce this message and shift from quiet pressure tools to more vocal ones, including imposing sanctions on the Popular Mobilization Forces as a whole, as Washington previously did with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

He explained that “these sanctions will have a broad financial impact within the Iraqi financial system, given that the Popular Mobilization Forces receive their salaries from the Iraqi government.”

The report continued, stating that “early US action to block this legislation would demonstrate the Trump administration’s awareness of the delicate developments in Iraq and its ability to deter Iranian-backed groups without waiting for a military escalation via drones or kidnappings and killings of Americans.”

The report concluded with a recommendation not to be satisfied with warnings, but to take concrete steps, such as imposing immediate sanctions on the General Engineer Company, the economic wing of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), which the report likened to the Khatam al-Anbiya Foundation, the economic conglomerate affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has long been subject to international sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations.

US OFFICIAL: WE HAVE HUGE OPPORTUNITIES IN IRAQ

The Vice President of the US Chamber of Commerce, Steve Lutes, announced that “his country’s companies in the energy and healthcare sectors will visit Baghdad in the coming period,” stressing that “there are tremendous opportunities in Iraq.”

A US delegation arrived in Iraq last Monday, the largest US trade mission ever, comprising representatives from 60 companies across various sectors.

In a statement seen by Al-Masry Al-Youm on Thursday, Lutz said, “The American delegation listened to a speech by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani regarding relations between Iraq and the United States and ways to develop them.”

He added, “The US economic delegation signed several important agreements with Iraq, some of which were attended by the Iraqi Prime Minister, and this was in coordination with the US Treasury Department.”

Lutz noted that “this visit will be a new spark for developing relations between American economic and business companies and Iraq, especially given the many investment opportunities we seek to capitalize on in light of the long-term partnership with our Iraqi partners.”

ABOUT THE NEWSLETTER:

April 8, 2025 Mnt Goat News Brief

Guten Tag everyone:

I have some “WOW!” news for you today. Not the RV yet, but we see this news is leading us to it shortly. The writing is on the wall.  

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.

Since 2013, I have taken my own time from my gasthaus business to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to spend my time doing all this. My time is hard to find, as I have to hold down two formal jobs already due to COVID just to keep the business going. So, I do it out of charity and love with the understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. As I am saying this take time and is like a third job.

I recommend $10 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write eight (8) Newsletters every month. I have to investigate the news and try to pull out the FACTS, then pull off the articles from Iraqi news channels, translate them, talk to my contact in Iraq and then write and publish the Newsletter. Do you think perhaps a little gift might show some appreciation for all this hard work? Just asking…. Still only a hand full of readers help out each month. Enough said….. The future of the Newsletter depends upon you.

 Let’s all try to chip in!

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

STATUS OF THE RV

I have to say that the pace of change and reform for the U.S. is overflowing now into Iraq as the new U.S. leadership takes shape on foreign policy. How many times have I said over this past decade that Nori Al Maliki and his gang of Iranian thugs must be dealt with? How many times have I said these Iranian backed militia stationed in Iraq must be dealt with?

It is now almost indescribable my feelings as to what is going on in Iraq and all the  wonderful changes happening that we prayed so hard for and so long.  

So, let’s get into the news for this period.

No, the IQD did not move to FOREX as TNT Tony and other idiot “gurus” told their listeners would happen on this past Monday. Yes, this was for the thousandth time already they told them this. You would think maybe they might question their sanity and their sources telling these ridiculous stories?

In the news this period there seems to be two main themes based around:

1.the decline of Iranian influence in Iraq and

2.a new chapter in the Iraqi-American partnership with Iraq.     

Let’s now take a look at the articles to back up each of these two main topics and what this is all going to mean for our coming reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar back to FOREX.

😊Starting with the article titled “IRAN-BACKED MILITIAS IN IRAQ ARE READY TO DISARM FOLLOWING TRUMP’S THREATS” we find that several of the Iran-backed militia groups operating in Iraq are set to demilitarize for the first time to avoid conflict with the US following President Trump’s threats to Tehran’s proxies.  Ten senior commanders and Iraqi officials urged the capital to begin the process of disarming and disbanding the militias operating in Iraq to avoid the worst-case scenario with the US.

“Trump is ready to take the war with us to worse levels, we know that, and we want to avoid such a bad scenario,” a commander of Kataeb Hezbollah, the most powerful Shiite militia operating in Iraq, told Reuters.

Do you know just how good this news really is? If you have been following my Newsletter blog all along you should realize we have been waiting for this kind of news since these Iranian militia from the Kud forces first entered Iraq in 2014 to fight ISIS. I always declared that these forces would be trouble and wondered why in hell Iraq chose them over U.S. forces. But if  you know anything about the past, They did so because the U.S. forces in 2011 under Obama had already pulled out and the U.S. Iraq would have to negotiate yet another status of forces agreement for U.S. troops to come back in. Was this all a setup and intentional? This all will soon be exposed.

The U.S. forces did come back into Iraq, but it was way after the Iranian militias had already taken hold in Iraq. Not a good situation and Iraq has been paying the price since. We have then witnessed the Iranian influence in the government, especially parliament and all the corruption and funneling of funds to Iran. Do you think the U.S. is going to approve the reinstatement of the IQD in this situation?

As listeners of the news we kept asking when will Nori al-Maliki get what is coming to him for all his crimes against the state and humanity too. He seemed untouchable and his influence, although limited today, still exists. We witnessed eight (8) years of his “do nothing” lame administration. Even today we still see small articles from his gang trying to bring descent to the policies of Al-Sudani. Oh, but he is sly and careful not to ruffle too many feathers too much these days because he knows his days are numbered. Well in today’s new we find this justice with Nori Al-Maliki is coming much sooner than most think.

If this isn’t a WOW! WOW! WOW! article I don’t what is….lol.. lol.. lol..

😊Then in another article titled “CALLS FOR “LIBERATING IRAQ” IN WASHINGTON: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S VISION AND ESCALATION WITH IRAN”. Recently we learned about the Trump tariffs in the news and he called this “Liberation Day” for America. Now we find out more on just what president Trump’s policy is towards Iraq and Iraq too is going to have it’s “liberation”. I told you if we are just patient, it will all come out and so here is more of it now in the news. The article tells us that former Iraqi diplomat Ghazi Faisal confirmed on Saturday (April 5, 2025) that calls for the “liberation of Iraq” issued by US officials in Washington reflect the vision of the administration of US President Donald Trump for dealing with the situation in Iraq. If this isn’t a WOW! WOW! WOW! article I don’t know what is….lol.. lol.. lol.. Liberating Iraq from what? From or course Iran and also the associated corruption of the Obama/Biden era policies and forcing Iraq to be accountable and more importantly supporting them when they do. Remember too the Obama/Biden era politicians still must be held accountable for these illegal early exchanges of Iraqi dinar held in late 2012-early 2013. This also will be part of the liberation process for Iraq.

In a statement to Baghdad Today that “Republican Representative Wilson’s statements regarding the ‘liberation of Iraq’ project do not come out of nowhere, but rather represent the Trump administration’s strategy toward Iran, which the United States considers a ‘terrorist state’ and the world’s foremost sponsor of terrorism.”

He added, “The armed factions loyal to Iran have transformed into a parallel force to the official state in Iraq, strategically allied with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.”

He pointed out that “calls to ‘liberate Iraq’ could be a prelude to decisions and actions that Washington may take in the coming period, given the ongoing escalation between the United States and Iran, as all options remain open.”

😊Opps there are a couple more articles on this topic and one is titled “FACTIONS ENTER “ULTIMATUM C” AFTER THE “LIBERATION OF IRAQ” PROJECT FROM IRAN”. The

 news of an “emergency government,” Al-Sudani speaks of conspiracies. A “C-Warning” was issued to armed factions and groups in Iraq as tensions escalated between Tehran and Washington. These groups have been conducting “evacuations” for months, according to informed sources, while their leaders have disappeared, even down to the third line. The “factions” had completely halted their activities at the end of last November, with the truce between Israel and Hezbollah taking effect.
With the Pentagon sending additional reinforcements to the Middle East, including an aircraft carrier and a squadron of fighter jets, and the continued strikes on the Houthis and the threat to Iran, informed sources told Al-Mada that “the factions took the highest precautions in five years, following the killing of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Forces.”

😊The other article is titled “IRAN’S SURPRISE: WITHDRAWING ITS FORCES FROM YEMEN AND ABANDONING THE HOUTHIS”. Iran has ordered the withdrawal of its military personnel from Yemen, abandoning its Houthi allies , as the United States escalates its campaign of airstrikes against the rebel group. A senior Iranian official told the British newspaper The Telegraph that this move aims to avoid a direct confrontation with the United States if an Iranian soldier is killed. Iran is scaling back its strategy of supporting a network of regional proxies in order to focus on direct threats from the United States. The source said that Tehran’s primary concern is US President Donald Trump and how to deal with him. 

So, we can now more clearly see the stance of the American president Trump towards Iran which is also being reflected in the policies towards Iraq. How did Iraq ever get itself mixed up so much with Iran? I believe that part of this comes from the U.S. abandoning Iraq at such an early stage of their newly found democracy. The “big brother” did not do its job and so we as investors had to wait this long for any real progress. However since 2023 have witnessed beyond my imagination so much progress.

Oh, yes more good news. The reform progress continues and it is also this second part of our theme in the articles of today that is going to facilitate getting the reinstatement. We learned in the past that Iraq is purchasing electricity and natural gas from Iran. The U.S. has said they no longer will consider a waiver on these purchases. We learn today the efforts to combat these two resources by Iraq.

😊This next article titled “AL-SUDANI’S ADVISOR TALKS ABOUT A “NEW CHAPTER” WITH WASHINGTON AND THE AGENDA OF A US DELEGATION IN IRAQ SOON.” According to Farhad Alaaldin, the Iraqi Prime Minister’s advisor for foreign affairs, spoke about a “new chapter in the Iraqi-American partnership.” He also touched on a “promising” opportunity for American companies specializing in the manufacture of floating platforms and the supply of liquefied natural gas to participate effectively in Iraq.  

So, let’s talk more about American companies from this article: This visit is likely to result in the signing of an unprecedented agreement between General Electric and the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity, aiming to produce highly efficient power bridging the gap in electricity demand away from Iran. Parallel efforts to address this challenge to complete the Gulf Electricity Interconnection Project, which aims to deliver electricity from the electric grid to the Gulf Cooperation Council countries via the State of Kuwait by 2025. Yes, this year not years down the road.   

Also, Iraq’s natural gas sector also highlights the significant opportunities available to advance the country’s energy development. Huge quantities of associated gas are still being flared daily, around the clock, due to weak infrastructure and the urgent need for advanced international expertise in processing and exploiting this vital resource. In this context, American companies possess advanced technical and technological capabilities, making them ideal partners in this field.  On March 4, Iraqi Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani announced that the ministry is in the process of importing a floating regasification platform (FSRU) to secure gas supplies for the country’s power plants. The bidding process is currently underway.

Over the past two and a half years, Iraq has awarded more contracts to American companies than ever before, reflecting the growing level of trust and partnership between the two countries.

Let’s go deeper into the VERY GOOD news…. So, what is this “new chapter” in relations with America they are now talking about? It is the move from the Obama/Biden era of relations to the Trump era. Like I told everyone this policy of first economic giant then RV will not work. At some point all the reforms must work together to get the economy they desire and the reinstatement the Iraqi dinar is part of it. Then let the country grow and rebuild yet even more, using the investment wealth generated from the currency reform. So, this new era I believe includes a new thinking in different terms to get the Iraqi currency reforms completed too and not to delay. But remember, as we have been reading recently, there are banking reforms with Rafidain bank that still need work and the digital dinar currency for inter-banking transfers.

😊In an article today we again learn Ali Al-Alaq talking about the new digital dinar. It’s found in the Article Section under the title “AL-ALAQ: DIGITAL CURRENCIES WILL RESHAPE THE TRADITIONAL BANKING SYSTEM”. The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, affirmed on Monday that digital currencies represent a key pillar in the future of the financial sector and could contribute to reshaping the traditional banking system.

😊In the article titled “JPMORGAN STRENGTHENS COOPERATION WITH IRAQ BY INCREASING CORRESPONDENT ACCOUNTS AND PROJECT FINANCING.” In the article we learn that the bank JPMorgan/Chase announced its readiness to expand cooperation with Iraq by increasing the number of correspondent accounts opened for Iraqi banks, in addition to financing a number of important investment projects. WOW! WOW! WOW! Also was discussed “mechanisms for securing credits and financial transfers and ensuring their delivery to those entitled to them in Europe and the United States.”  Is was stressed the importance of expanding the scope of partnership between Iraqi banks and one of the largest global banks JP Morgan/Chase, noting “the government’s readiness to provide all forms of support to strengthen this relationship.” 

😊Yet more GOOD news in article titled “DURING A MEETING WITH AL-SUDANI, AN AMERICAN BANK EXPRESSED ITS WILLINGNESS TO FINANCE INVESTMENT PROJECTS IN IRAQ.” US bank JPMorgan/Chase also expressed its willingness to enhance financial cooperation with Iraq by expanding the number of accounts opened by Iraqi banks and financing investment projects in the country. This came during a meeting held by a delegation from the bank with the Iraqi government.

Folks, could the news get any better short of the reinstatement? Oh…but this is what is going to get us the reinstatement, get it?

😊Then out pops yet more GOOD news in the article titled “PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE COMMITTEE STRESSES THE NEED TO REACH AN UNDERSTANDING WITH THE US TREASURY REGARDING THE EVALUATION OF BANKS.” Are the Iraq banks now ready for the reinstatement?

The Parliamentary Finance Committee stressed the need to reach an understanding with the World Bank and the US Treasury regarding the evaluation of Iraqi banks’ performance, to avoid any “sudden” decisions that could negatively impact the country’s banking sector. This came in a speech delivered by Finance Committee Chairman Atwan Al-Atwani on Monday during his participation in the Iraq Banking Sector Development Conference, attended by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and in cooperation with Oliver Wyman, in Baghdad. 

The CBI and Finance Committee is telling us they want to stay on track to complete the banking reforms and their quest for globalization of their economy.

We also learn that the CBI is still concerned about around the 87% of money in Iraq is kept outside of banks due to widespread distrust in the financial system, an expert in economics and banking has revealed. Don’t they realize that a huge chunk of this money is outside of Iraq in our hands as investors?  Siamand Shekha, speaking to BasNews, explained that this lack of trust is holding back the country’s economic growth and banking development. According to the economic advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, approximately 95 trillion dinars out of a total of 109 trillion dinars are not in the banking sector. How will they retrieve this money? They still have not come up with a solution. But as faithful followers of this RV saga we know that the Project to Delete the Zeros was designed specifically to reign in this money as part of the overall Dr Shabibi plan. But in doing the Project to Delete the Zeros, the CBI will have to move to a revalued dinar close to a dollar to incentive the citizens to turn them in. In other words, they will have to convert the CASH dinars to digital dinars (newer lower denominations). I was told by my CBI contact that this event will happen shortly after the U.S. deals with Iran and neutralizes it. Many of you comment in the blog that this will still take decades. I say “really”? We can already see the writing is on the wall in all the GOOD news of today in this regard. Does all this action seem like it going to take decades? Let’s all keep praying as we can see our prayers are working and God is answering them especially during this time of lent. Let’s take advantage of this season.

Remember the other tools at our disposal too in trying to see the TRUTH and FACTUAL story of the RV saga. These tools also include politics and politics formulate policy towards Iraq. Get it? Also there is the prophetic words that tell us a warning of what is coming next. Remember there have been many prophecies about the dinar and how it too will help the needy and poor. It is all part of the great wealth transfer that is about to take place. In the Political Section of today’s Newsletter we also learn more reinforcement that this situation of the globalists/extreme liberal ideology is not just being forced down the throats of Americans but also of all nations throughout the world. We especially hear the cries of the British and Canadian people. We must also pray for them.  

Are you Getting HAPPIER yet!

• Don’t over speculate and set unjustified expectations, be real and stick to the FACTS.

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

                                             Just the FACTS!

______________________________________________

These prophecies 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 this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. 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 more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.

God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.

These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do 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.

From God to the PROPHET:  Julie Green

Important prophecies from the Weekend of March 29th – 30th.     

Today I being you two prophecies back-to-back and recorded. These are from March 30^th and include the 1^st and 2^nd prophecies from that day. I bring these together for you as part of the five (5) total prophecies from that weekend. The ones from March 29^th 1^st and 2^nd are also recorded and can be found in my 4/3 Newsletter in my Archives.

I also included the most current Prophecies Fulfilled about planes dropping out of the sky. This prophecy from the book Phoenix Rising 1986 publication by Mary Summer Rain in Chapter 3 titled Eyes Searching, page 43-44 about the planes dropping out of the sky and page 45 about the trains with bad accidents. How did No Eyes, the prophet know about all these future events? Remember she is also blind. If I were you, I would surely buy this book and read it. It will amaze you on the predictions that have come to pass already. But what about the ones to come? These are even scarier. With such a good track record of fulfillment, I truly believe we can see these other prophecies come to pass too. We are now in this period of transition she talked about and our prophets today keep talking about.

Of course, the question that always come to mind as to when is enough and when will God let the wealth transfer occur. If you are waiting just for the RV you are thinking wrong. This RV is just a mere part of it. The entire U.S. and global financial system must first be revitalized and uncorrupted. This includes the U.S. taxation policies and how the government finances itself. These endless wars must stop. We already see the DOGE process underway now and talk of eliminating the IRS and the Feds. The Gold standard too will soon be put back in place. This is the restoration that God talks about through his prophets. I hope everyone is at least beginning to see now why I use the prophetic word as part of the tools to put the entire picture together as to what is happening and paint a timeline to see the reinstatement and RV.

_______________________________________

PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.

____________________________________

HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?

Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.

Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.

Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.

This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9^th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT THE DAVOS ELITE

Ever wonder who really is in charge? Former Prime Minister Liz Truss only lasted 6 months and was forced to resign as prime minister in the Great Britian for the conservative party. She was too conservative for the conservatives who actually didn’t want reform bad enough, as she proposed. So, they formulated a plan and ousted her out. Who actually runs the Great Britian?

Listen carefully and you can pull out of this conversation the issues facing Great Britian. Do they sound familiar? Nothing in Great Britian is based on common sense. Oh… who always talks about “common sense” politics?

You can clearly see that in the Trump policies he is not alone as to how politicians should operate for their own country and not some global entity.

BLACKROCK: THE CONSPIRACIES YOU DON’T KNOW

Time to take a good look at Blackrock Asset Management company. Afterall to figure out what is going on in Iraq just follow the money. Last week the company Blackrock announced the purchase of the Basra port in Iraq. So, what do you think they are up to? Let’s first learn about the company and at another time we will investigate more about this purchase.  

The fact of the matter is there is a concentration of the majority of investment wealth in three main asset management companies including: BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street. All of them own shares of each other. If one should fail they all would go down. But how can this happen as they each support the other. Essentially they are like one very huge conglomerate.

HOW DID THE UKRAINE WAR BEGIN, JEFFREY SACHS MAKES FIERY SPEECH

HEY UNITED STATES….YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

FARAGE MAKES A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT | REFORM PARTY LEADER ATTACKS THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS OF THE UK

Sound familiar? Yes, this is a global issue. The PUSH to destroy your countries is not coincidental. It is an orchestrated effort by the globalist elite. It is happening all over the world not just in the U.S. or Canada, only your major mainstream news media channels in your country refuse to tell the truth and are not letting you know the FACTS of what is happening in the rest of the world.

Yes, it is the UN that is “covertly” behind it. The U.S., is not alone in this fight. Look what they are doing to Canada and now Great Britian, your brother countries! They don’t give a damn about you only to use an upcoming crisis caused by their political mistakes to gain yet more power and control over you. Does this sound familiar what they are doing in the UK?   

Why do your politicians do it? Why do you keep voting to keep them to stay in control to accept this globalist ideology?

Listen carefully in the reforms he recommends. If you are in the U.S. do these reforms sound familiar?

There is a solution and it comes with “common sense” and with a party that is on your side. Is Nigel Farage the Donald Trump of the UK? Do you get it now what is going on?

What is do bad about cutting waste and saving taxpayers billions, maybe even cutting your taxes as a result. Do they even know themselves? If you are a democrat and object to the Trump DOGE agency, then you might want to watch this video and learn something. I find it amazing how people forget so soon, if they ever even learned anything at all in the past.

WHAT YOU ARE NOT BEING TOLD ABOUT THE UN AGENDA 2030

If you ever wondered where this woke stuff comes from you can clearly see it is a non-elected body of people with their lofty ideas for humanity. It’s called the United Nations leadership team. Actually, it’s about lining their own pockets and pockets of their big paying supporters. Of course, they use their fancy narratives to lend credibility to what they propose and to get you to go along with it. But we have already seen with UN Agenda 2021 has done to the world, that in really it is not about equality, racial justice or any of their other narratives, but just all about more CONTROL. Listen carefully what they want to do, not what they say. Who the hell are these people anyhow to force their own design upon the world?

One last note. There is a reason why President Trump is defunding these UN agencies. See if you can understand it more after watching this video. I am here to try to help you understand. These Un guys are marching to the tune of Marxists Communist ideology.

CONTROL- CONTROL- AND MORE CONTROL

Will the other developed nations realize the dangers too and take the lead from the U.S.? Can we solve yet another crisis brought on us by the woke UN policies? Oh… maybe it’s time to stop funding the UN or better yet get rid of it altogether. What purpose is it now serving?

HILLARY CLINTON EMAILS REVEAL REAL REASON U.S. DESTROYED LIBYA

In case you are wondering this is all connected to what we are now seeing going on in Iraq and why the dinar is being still suppressed even though we know its true value based on its assets.

The U.S. in decades of past administrations supported a global system of sustaining itself to stay in control to serve only the 1% of the elite. This is the real “sustainability” they mean when you hear this term used quite often by the UN.

Yes, it is your tax dollars supporting these efforts. Hillary tried to wash her computer while communicating off the Federal secured servers, but the information was still obtained on what was going on and why in Libya. So, we can see that the CIA is the non-elected organization that must be cleaned up and is the controlling mechanism for these foreign wars.

What happened in Libya is a perfect example of what is taking place. In my 04/01 Newsletter I presented information about the Libya currency and how it finally was reformed, but only after the country’s resources were finally compromised and controlled by the elite.

The “Project For The New American Century” planned out seven (7) Middle Eastern and African countries that needed to be taken. What did they want? They wanted their resources.

Libya

Syria

Iran

Iraq

Somalia

Afghanistan

Lebanon

Do all of these countries sound familiar? Are these not the countries in the past decades that have been the areas (target) of conflict and war? Of course the “fake” news media paints a different picture to hide the TRUTH. These small wars don’t just happen they are all orchestrated and planned for a reason. It’s all about the money.

Elect officials that will eliminate these players or agencies from your governments and then ensure the checks and balances are being enforced in the future.

AL-SUDANI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING AN UNPRECEDENTED PHASE OF RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said on Friday, April 4, 2025, that: “Iraq is witnessing an unprecedented phase of reconstruction and development.”

During his meeting today with a group of tribal sheikhs and dignitaries from various communities at the guest house of Hajj Rahim Majisar al-Baydani in Baghdad, Al-Sudani affirmed that “the tribes have always been with the state since its founding, beginning with the 1920 Revolution, and their contributions and sacrifices have continued effectively at various stages and times.”

The Prime Minister pointed to “the role of the tribes and their honorable stance in responding to the religious authority’s call for sufficient jihad, the call of the nation, as all members of the tribes that bear the Iraqi color lined up in the trench of confrontation against terrorism. This stance came at a time when it was rumored that Iraq had ended as a state, only for the country to return safe and unified.”

Al-Sudani stressed that “the supreme religious authority’s indication that Iraqis have a cultural and intellectual heritage that they must study, understand, and rely on is a fitting indication, and that our country, with its culture and resources, is capable of facing various challenges.” He emphasized that “her talk about Iraq’s recovery and being on the right path is a reassuring message to some alarmists who paint a picture of anxiety, panic, and defeatism among society.”

He explained, “What we enjoy today is thanks to the sacrifices and honorable stances of the tribes, which we cannot forget. Iraq is strong, capable, healthy, and progressing, as attested to by all regional and international institutions.” He indicated that “Iraq has an important pioneering role, and the reconstruction and development it is witnessing, from Basra to Nineveh, is an unprecedented phase.”

He continued, “From the outset, the government has worked on priorities based on the needs of the people, far removed from any personal or partisan objectives. We cannot mortgage the country’s future solely to oil, especially since Iraq possesses the potential for agriculture, industry, and tourism.”

Al-Sudani stated, “Our country is distinguished by its geographical location as a global trade corridor. That’s why we launched the Development Road project, and we are working day and night to achieve our commitment. We have the capabilities, resources, and determination to face various challenges.”

He pointed out that “work is continuing on a project to transport gas to our power stations, and there is a genuine will to implement reforms, and we have made significant progress in this regard, in a timeframe not exceeding two and a half years of the government’s term.”

He continued, “The region has witnessed exceptional circumstances, and the government’s greatest test was how to handle this crisis, given Iraq’s principled position on the Palestinian issue. The continued Zionist aggression against the Palestinians has demonstrated the failure of the international community.”

He explained, “We were able to preserve Iraq by acting wisely and responsibly to avoid slipping into the arena of war and conflict. Some emotional and hasty voices wanted Iraq to go to war and conflict.”

The Prime Minister stressed that “the interests of Iraq and Iraqis are the government’s top priority, and there is no room for favoritism toward any internal or external party.” He explained that “the government’s approach is to preserve the supreme interests of the state, and we have full hope that the clerics, tribal sheikhs, and elites will promote a discourse of unity, solidarity, and brotherhood among all members of society.”

He continued, “There are those who thrive on the rhetoric of sedition, crisis, and conspiracies, and we must pay attention to this matter, especially with the upcoming elections. We are confident that Iraq’s future is promising, thanks to its people, capabilities, resources, and sound principles for governing the state.”

WITH ITS GLOBAL DECLINE, AL-SUDANI: THE COUNTRY’S ECONOMY CANNOT BE MORTGAGED TO ITS DEPENDENCE ON OIL.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani met today, Friday, with a group of tribal sheikhs and dignitaries from various components, at the guest house of Hajj Rahim Majiser al-Baydani in Baghdad.

Al-Sudani congratulated the attendees on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, thanking Rahim Majiser al-Baydani for the invitation. He also praised his social and humanitarian role and contributions, including his provision of aid and support to security forces and displaced persons during the war on ISIS. He emphasized that the tribes have always supported the state since its founding, beginning with the 1920 Revolution, and that their contributions and sacrifices have continued effectively at various stages and times.

The Prime Minister pointed to the role of the tribes and their honorable stance in responding to the religious authority’s call for sufficient jihad, the call of the homeland, as all members of the tribes that bear the Iraqi color lined up in the trench of confrontation against terrorism. This stance came at a time when it was rumored that Iraq had ended as a state, only for the country to return safe and unified.

Al-Sudani emphasized that the supreme religious authority’s reference to Iraqis having a cultural and intellectual heritage that they must study, understand, and rely on is a fitting gesture, and that our country, with its culture and resources, is capable of facing various challenges. He emphasized that the reference to Iraq’s recovery and its being on the right path is a reassuring message to some alarmists who paint a picture of anxiety, panic, and defeatism among society.

The following are the most important points made by the Prime Minister:

What we enjoy today is thanks to the sacrifices and honorable stances of the tribes, which we cannot forget. Iraq is strong, capable, healthy, and progressing, as attested to by all regional and international institutions.

Iraq has an important pioneering role, and the reconstruction and development it is witnessing from Basra to Nineveh is an unprecedented phase.

From the beginning, the government has worked on priorities based on the needs of the people, far from any personal or partisan objectives. We cannot mortgage the country’s future to oil alone, especially since Iraq possesses the potential for agriculture, industry, and tourism.

Our country is distinguished by its geographical location as a global trade corridor; this is why we launched the Development Road project. We work day and night to achieve our commitments, and we have the capabilities, resources, and determination to face various challenges.

Work is continuing on a project to transport gas to our power stations.

There is a genuine will to achieve reforms, and we have made significant progress in this regard, in a period not exceeding two and a half years of the government’s term. 

The region witnessed exceptional circumstances, and the government’s greatest test was how to handle this crisis, given Iraq’s principled position on the Palestinian issue.

The continued Zionist aggression against the Palestinians has revealed the failure of the international community.

We were able to preserve Iraq by acting wisely and responsibly to avoid slipping into the arena of war and conflict. Some emotional and hasty voices wanted Iraq to go to war and conflict.

The interests of Iraq and the Iraqis are the government’s top priority, and there is no room for favoritism toward any internal or external party. The government’s approach is to preserve the country’s supreme interests, and we have full hope that religious leaders, tribal sheikhs, and elites will promote a message of unity, solidarity, and brotherhood among all members of society.

There are those who thrive on the rhetoric of sedition, crisis, and conspiracies, and we must pay attention to this matter, especially with the upcoming elections. We are confident that Iraq’s future is promising, thanks to its people, capabilities, resources, and sound principles of state administration.

AL-SUDANI’S ADVISOR TO RUDAW: US TARIFFS DO NOT INCLUDE OIL AND GAS, AND THEIR IMPACT WILL BE ZERO.

Mazhar Mohammed Salih, financial and economic advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, downplayed the impact of the US decision to impose a 39% tariff on Iraqi products, noting that Iraq has no significant exports to the US market.

Mazhar Mohammed Saleh told Rudaw Media Network on Thursday (April 3, 2025): “The US customs tariffs do not include oil and gas, which means that the impact of this move on Iraq will be zero, because Iraq does not have any other noteworthy goods exported to America that could be subject to customs duties.”

Saleh explained that “Iraqi crude oil exports to the United States do not exceed $5 billion annually, and the US market is considered a secondary market for Iraq compared to those of China and India, where approximately 70% of Iraqi oil is exported.”

Regarding the import of American goods to Iraq, he noted that “Iraq imports 90% of its goods and civilian needs from Turkey, India, China, the UAE, and some European countries,” describing the American market as a “secondary market” compared to Asian and European markets. 

Al-Sudani’s advisor said, “The Strategic Framework Agreement signed between Iraq and the United States in 2008 has protected Iraq from shifts in the US’s highly protectionist policy, particularly with regard to the imposition of customs duties.”

US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the imposition of 39% tariffs on imports from US trading partners, including Iraq.

**************************************************************************************************

ECONOMIST: CUSTOMS TARIFFS PORTEND A GLOBAL RECESSION AND IRAQ WILL BE HARMED BY THE DROP IN OIL PRICES.

Economic expert Abdul Rahman Al Mashhadani confirmed that the United States’ imposition of customs tariffs on goods and commodities will have indirect effects on Iraq, even though the price increase will have a direct impact on the American market.

Al-Mashhadani explained to Al-Furat News Agency that “this policy will cause an increase in inflation rates within the United States, which will negatively impact American citizens with a general rise in prices depending on the importance of commodities.”

He explained that the indirect impact is the possibility of a global economic recession resulting from a decline in the volume of American, European and Canadian exports to European markets, due to reduced investments and the disruption of commercial activity due to the size of the American market.

Al-Mashhadani warned that “this recession will affect global industry, reducing demand for oil and leading to a decline in its global prices, which will indirectly harm the Iraqi economy, which depends heavily on oil revenues.”

Two days ago, US President Donald Trump announced the imposition of countervailing tariffs on most countries around the world, with rates ranging from 10% to 49%, including Iraq.

Trump designated April 2 as “Liberation Day.”

*****************************************************************************************

THE IMPACT OF NEW US POLICIES ON THE NATIONAL ECONOMY

For two months, the world has been witnessing new economic decisions by the US administration and political, security, and economic tensions. The latest concerns the increase in tariffs on US imports from some countries, particularly the European Union, China, and oil-producing and exporting countries.

Of course, the primary objective of these economic decisions is purely political.

In light of a realistic analysis of international economic, political, and security developments and their expected impact on the Iraqi economy, and with a close eye on the challenges and crises experienced by the national economy, influenced by the economic crises suffered by major economies, the strategic conflicts between the US, China, European countries, and emerging economies such as India, Brazil, and the BRICS countries, the bias of some countries toward the US strategy to lead the world economically, and other countries toward the strategy of China and some emerging countries to establish a new international economic pole to confront US hegemony. One of the most prominent outcomes of this conflict is the global energy and food crisis, which has persisted for more than a decade and continues to plague countries with weak, poor, and rentier economies, preventing them from making a structural and comprehensive transition to emerging economies capable of withstanding and overcoming the effects of global economic conflicts. Since mid-June 2014 and the first quarter of 2020, the Iraqi economy has faced complex and cumulative challenges due to changes in the global economy, including the slowdown in global economic growth due to the US-China conflict, the COVID-19 pandemic, the fight against terrorism, the decline in global oil prices, which reached a decline rate exceeding 70%, and the economic recession. Most countries around the world have been affected by these repercussions, which have had a profound impact on the Iraqi economy. What concerns us is the results of these repercussions and the expected impacts and implications for the economic reality in Iraq in the coming years and until 2030.

In light of the study and analysis, the following can be expected at the level of the global economic system and its implications for Iraq:

First, growth rates in the global economy are expected to decline significantly, affecting the US economy and the economies of the European Union countries, China, and Russia, but at varying rates. Stagflation will prevail in most countries of the world, and this will be reflected in a slowdown in GDP growth by rates ranging between 4-10% in oil-producing and non-oil-producing Arab countries, especially after the countries of the geographic region faced new challenges due to the Zionist aggression on Gaza and the West Bank. The West, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and American threats to Iran have created a new complex situation that will have negative repercussions on the national economy.

Second, the new global economic order we expect to emerge in the coming years will inevitably take shape and will be under the clear economic and financial leadership of the United States, China, and other powers. The Silk Road will be implemented to include the countries through which it was planned to pass, to revive their economies, and it will actually be completed. It is also expected that the path to development will be completed, and Iraq and the countries participating in the project will play a significant role, with positive economic repercussions.

Third, the philosophy of economic management will most likely shift from the capitalist market economy to the social market economy currently adopted as a disciplinary ideology, as in China and some other countries around the world.

These are only early predictions, and the Arab economy will likely be subordinate to the new, larger and more economically powerful pole.

So, what is required of economic decision-makers in Iraq in the face of these developments and changes expected to sweep the world? I see, with a penetrating analytical view of the current economic reality, that we urgently need radical and comprehensive economic change and reform based on the following key pillars:

First: Reshaping the national income resources map by reducing reliance on oil as the primary resource and activating other resources in the coming years to bring them to 30% of the total general budget resources.

Second: Radical and comprehensive change in agricultural, industrial, trade, oil, energy, and water policies by relying on local resources to ensure food and water security, encouraging, protecting, and supporting local production, and developing programs and strategies to protect consumers.

Third: Supporting, developing, and stimulating the private sector, leveraging its capabilities, potential, capital, and investments in building the national economy, and involving it in economic decision-making and economic management.

Fourth: Developing clear strategies for coordination between monetary and fiscal policies, formulating clear financial policies, and re-establishingfoundations for preparing and presenting annual general budgets based on programs, not items. Reducing the budget deficit to the legally specified percentage of GDP, as well as reducing domestic borrowing to a minimum and avoiding any external borrowing.

Fifth: Completing the new methodology adopted by the Central Bank for banking reform and development and digital transformation in all digital fields, with a focus on implementing the Central Bank’s strategy, establishing the financial center, and using artificial intelligence in analyzing, ensuring transparency and accuracy of data for sound economic planning purposes and overcoming the challenges of instability in the financial and monetary systems. This means developing coordinated and balanced plans to overcome the challenges of monetary policy, the challenges of the deficit in non-oil revenue, the deficit in the balance of payments and the trade balance, and the percentage of contribution of productive sectors (the real economy) to the gross domestic product.

A HIGH-LEVEL US TRADE DELEGATION IS EXPECTED TO VISIT BAGHDAD.

Iraq is anticipating the visit of a high-level US trade delegation comprising several major American companies. The visit is expected to strengthen relations between Washington and Baghdad in the areas of security, infrastructure, andenergy.

This was announced by Farhad Alaa El-Din, the Sudanese Prime Minister’s advisor for foreign affairs, on Friday, April 4, 2025. He explained that the delegation will arrive in Baghdad next week, and that an agreement is expected to be concluded between the American company General Electric and the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity to develop the electricity sector in Iraq.

The advisor noted that the agreement will help address Iraq’s current electricity shortage, which stands at 48,000 megawatts.

Alaa El-Din added that the United States has significantly expanded its economic relations with Iraq over the past two and a half years, and that Washington is playing an increasingly important role in revitalizing the Iraqi economy.

The US delegation’s visit was organized by the Iraqi Chamber of Commerce, and several agreements and memoranda of understanding are expected to be signed between the two sides, in addition to an agreement to develop the electricity sector.

Alaa El-Din also noted that Iraq seeks to leverage the capabilities of American companies to address the problem of flaring large quantities of associated gas due to the lack of adequate infrastructure.

The US trade delegation’s visit comes amid US President Donald Trump’s imposition of tariffs on several countries, including Iraq, which Trump announced on Wednesday night, April 2, 2025, at a rate of 39%.

IRAN’S SURPRISE: WITHDRAWING ITS FORCES FROM YEMEN AND ABANDONING THE HOUTHIS

Iran has ordered the withdrawal of its military personnel from Yemen, abandoning its Houthi allies , as the United States escalates its campaign of airstrikes against the rebel group.

A senior Iranian official told the British newspaper The Telegraph that this move aims to avoid a direct confrontation with the United States if an Iranian soldier is killed.

Iran’s main concern

The official added that Iran is also scaling back its strategy of supporting a network of regional proxies in order to focus on direct threats from the United States. The source said that Tehran’s primary concern is US President Donald Trump and how to deal with him. 

He added, “All meetings are dominated by discussions about him, and we no longer discuss any of the regional groups we previously supported.” Since chat messages from senior Trump administration officials were leaked to the media last month, the United States has launched near-daily attacks on the Houthis.

Donald Trump described the strikes as “incredibly successful,” destroying important military targets and killing field commanders.

A Pentagon spokesman said more warplanes would be sent to the region, without providing specific details.

However, the US Air Force’s 124th Fighter Wing announced late last month that it would send “several” A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft and 300 aircrew to the Middle East.

A Russian military expert in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital, is also believed to be advising the Houthis on how to carry out their attacks while avoiding targeting Saudi Arabia.

The kingdom has bombed Houthi forces in Yemen since intervening in the civil war in 2015, and hosted high-level talks between the United States and Russia on a possible ceasefire in Ukraine.

The Houthis announced that they were attacking US warships in the Red Sea, including the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, which is leading efforts to strike the rebel group.

No ships have been hit so far, but the US Navy said the Houthi fire was the heaviest its sailors had encountered since World War II. The US aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, currently stationed in Asia, is heading to the Middle East to support the Truman.

They won’t be able to stay.”

An Iranian regime source said: “The view here is that the Houthis will not be able to survive and are living out their last months or even days, so there is no point in keeping them within our network.” 

He added: “They were part of a chain that relied on Nasrallah [former Hezbollah Secretary-General] and Assad, and keeping only one part of that chain makes no sense in the future.” 

Trump has intensified pressure on Iran to come to the negotiating table to discuss limiting its nuclear program. Last week, he moved B-2 stealth bombers to the US-UK military base of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands.

The US position on Iran and the Middle East has changed radically since Trump took office.

Sanam Vakil, director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Chatham House, said the escalation of US strikes on Yemen represents an attempt by the Trump administration to distinguish itself from its predecessor.

Former US President Joe Biden removed the Houthis from the list of terrorist organizations in 2021—a decision that Trump reversed last January.

“Trump is trying to prove that he is more effective in ending and resolving conflicts than the Biden administration,” Vakil said. She added that the strikes “are linked to his maximum pressure campaign, while simultaneously sending a message to Iran and the axis of resistance that his administration will take a more aggressive approach to destabilizing regional activities.” 

Mahmoud Shahra, a former Yemeni diplomat and current fellow at Chatham House, said the United States had pursued a “defensive strategy” against the Houthis during Biden’s term.

“Previous miscalculations regarding the Houthis in the US have led Trump to launch heavier strikes against them now, and [the US] has begun targeting key individuals and influencers within their ranks,” he told The Telegraph from Amman, the Jordanian capital. 

He explained that the Houthis’ weapons are more advanced, making them more powerful than other Iranian-backed non-state groups in the region.

“After the collapse of Hezbollah and the Assad regime, the Houthis are now on the front line, and they have carried out very intensive attacks. They are escalating and taking risks because, according to their own calculations, it prolongs their political life in Yemen,” Shahra added. 

“They are receiving missiles and drones from Iran and rebranding them with Houthi names because they don’t want to show their connection to Iran due to internal propaganda,” he said. Israel’s success against Hamas and Hezbollah—two key elements of Iran’s proxy network—has provided an opportunity to weaken the Islamic regime’s influence.

Analysts also believe that Iran’s failure to carry out effective missile strikes on Israel last year has undermined its ability to provide credible deterrence against external attacks and has weakened the morale of its allies.

The Israeli military destroyed most of Hamas’s infrastructure in Gaza and inflicted heavy losses on Hezbollah. Iran also failed to protect Bashar al-Assad, the ousted Syrian president and a key ally, from a surprise rebel offensive that led to his ouster in December. 

As Hezbollah’s influence declined, the Houthis attempted to take its place in leading the fight against Israel.

“They are not like Hezbollah”

Since the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks on Israel, the Houthis have improved their tactics and missile capabilities, building a strong public image.

The newspaper says, “They control Sana’a, print money, collect taxes, divert aid, smuggle drugs, sell weapons to terrorist groups in Africa, and disrupt international shipping routes in the Red Sea.” 

They also enjoy a geographical advantage; Yemen’s mountainous terrain, similar to Afghanistan, helps them hide missile and drone stores in caves and underground.

“They don’t have the same experience as Hezbollah, but they are more aggressive and dangerous at the same time – Abdul-Malik al-Houthi aspires to lead the axis of resistance,” Shahra said. 

“The streets of Yemen are filled with anger. The Houthis are not paying salaries and are imposing absolute taxes without representation. Therefore, their social base is not strong, and that is why they are relying on the Gaza war,” he added.

CALLS FOR “LIBERATING IRAQ” IN WASHINGTON: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S VISION AND ESCALATION WITH IRAN

Former Iraqi diplomat Ghazi Faisal confirmed on Saturday (April 5, 2025) that calls for the “liberation of Iraq” issued by US officials in Washington reflect the vision of the administration of US President Donald Trump for dealing with the situation in Iraq. 

Faisal explained in a statement to Baghdad Today that “Republican Representative Wilson’s statements regarding the ‘liberation of Iraq’ project do not come out of nowhere, but rather represent the Trump administration’s strategy toward Iran, which the United States considers a ‘terrorist state’ and the world’s foremost sponsor of terrorism.”

He added, “The armed factions loyal to Iran have transformed into a parallel force to the official state in Iraq, strategically allied with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.”

He pointed out that “calls to ‘liberate Iraq’ could be a prelude to decisions and actions that Washington may take in the coming period, given the ongoing escalation between the United States and Iran, as all options remain open.”

The “liberation of Iraq” project being promoted in Washington reflects American concerns about Iran’s influence in the region. Some US officials are calling for more decisive steps to counter this influence, reflecting an escalation in positions that could lead to changes in US policies toward Iraq and the region as a whole.

FACTIONS ENTER “ULTIMATUM C” AFTER THE “LIBERATION OF IRAQ” PROJECT FROM IRAN

Following news of an “emergency government,” Al-Sudani speaks of conspiracies.

A “C-Warning” was issued to armed factions and groups in Iraq as tensions escalated between Tehran and Washington.
These groups have been conducting “evacuations” for months, according to informed sources, while their leaders have disappeared, even down to the third line.

The “factions” had completely halted their activities at the end of last November, with the truce between Israel and Hezbollah taking effect.
With the Pentagon sending additional reinforcements to the Middle East, including an aircraft carrier and a squadron of fighter jets, and the continued strikes on the Houthis and the threat to Iran, informed sources told Al-Mada that “the factions took the highest precautions in five years, following the killing of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Forces.”

The sources close to the armed groups added that the latter “took security measures for fear of being targeted in conjunction with expected strikes on Tehran.”

The sources explained that “first, second, and even third-line leaders took refuge in unknown locations as a precautionary measure.”
These groups, which are called the “Iraqi resistance,” have been adhering to “unprecedented” security measures since the “Pager” incident, which revealed Israel’s penetration of the Lebanese Hezbollah party before the killing of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, last September.

Outside the flock, the Friday Imam of Najaf, Sadr al-Din al-Qabanji, threatened to target American bases in Iraq, against the backdrop of the recent escalation with Iran.

Al-Qabanji said in his Friday sermon: “We advise Trump not to rush into war or threaten war. We are ready to defend our religion and are certain that the gates of heaven have been opened to us.”
He added that “the American bases in Iraq are within range of Iranian artillery; indeed, they are within reach of the fists of Iraq’s youth, and no one can prevent them from doing so.”

About two months ago, the government began “faltering” negotiations with “four factions” that still do not comply with the instructions of the Popular Mobilization Authority, while Parliament is considering a law to “restructure the Popular Mobilization Forces” to prevent these groups from returning and dragging the country into war.

According to statements by the leader of the Hikma Movement, Ammar al-Hakim, “the armed factions are committed to not escalating against Washington to avoid embarrassing the government led by Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.”
Some unknown armed groups appeared last month, following events in Syria and Yemen, such as the “Abbas Shield Forces Martyrdom” group, but quickly disappeared.

Factions or the Popular Mobilization Forces?!

A debate is raging in Iraq over the fate of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). Mithal al-Alusi, a former parliamentarian, believes that “there is no such thing as ‘factions’ in Washington,” and that Washington wants to “dissolve the PMF.”

However, Hadi al-Amiri, leader of the Badr Organization, said that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani “personally” denied to him circulating reports about the United States demanding the dissolution or integration of the PMF.

He added in his statements that “talk about the resistance and the PMF carries many allegations and lies,” considering that “the PMF is Iraq’s safety valve, and it is everyone’s duty to confront the lies.”

Iranian Ambassador to Baghdad, Mohammed Kazem Al-Sadiq, had previously said that US President Donald Trump’s letter to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei included a request to “dissolve the PMF and the armed factions.”

In response, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani responded to the Iranian ambassador’s statements by confirming that there was no US request to dissolve the Popular Mobilization Forces.

Subsequently, the Iranian ambassador retracted his statements, denying knowledge of the message’s content and saying he had analyzed the signals coming from Washington.

Liberate Iraq!
The US Senate is considering a bill introduced by Republican Senator Joe Wilson, which calls for the so-called “liberation of Iraq from Iran.” No Iraqi party has yet commented on the US proposal.
The provisions of the new bill are reminiscent of the previous “liberation of Iraq” from Saddam’s regime law, which was introduced in the Senate in 1998.
The text of the new law includes proposals and provisions requiring the US State Department and the US Treasury to develop a comprehensive 180-day strategy to reduce Iran’s influence in Iraq.

The provisions include proposals to dissolve the factions and the Popular Mobilization Forces and classify them as “terrorist organizations,” as well as the prosecution of major Iraqi political figures.

The bill imposes sanctions against 11 factions, in addition to 12 Iraqi political figures’ and includes a halt to US security assistance to Iraq until “the factions and those close to Iran are removed from state institutions.”

Crisis and Openness
These developments come amid reports circulating in political circles about the formation of a “crisis cell” or an “emergency government.” The government has not yet officially commented on this information.

In what appeared to be an indirect response to this news, Al-Sudani said during a meeting with a group of tribal sheikhs: “There are those who thrive on the rhetoric of sedition, crisis, and conspiracies, and we must pay attention to this matter, especially with the upcoming elections.”
He added, “Some emotional an” hasty voices wanted Iraq to go to war and conflict,” explaining that “the region witnessed exceptional circumstances, and the government’s biggest test was in how to deal with the crisis.”

Nouri al-Maliki, leader of the State of Law coalition, had spoken of “a danger surrounding the electoral process,” but said he would speak about it later.
In a video address regarding the elections, al-Maliki called on Iraqis “not to listen to anyone trying to dissuade them from participating in the upcoming elections.”

Al-Maliki spoke of “a danger surrounding the elections,” but said he would “address it later, and citizens must adhere to an agreement and contract to protect the electoral process and reject cases of manipulation and the spending of money to spoil it.
“ Contrary to the tensions between Baghdad and Washington, the Iraqi Prime Minister’s advisor for foreign affairs, Farhad Alaaldin, emphasized the existence of a “unique opportunity” for the two countries to deepen their strategic partnership.
This partnership, according to Alaaldin’s vision, expressed in an article published by the British newspaper The National, is no longer limited to traditional security cooperation, but rather extends to broader horizons of economic integration and the strengthening of regional security and long-term stability.

Alaaldin’s statements are supported by the upcoming visit of a large delegation of American companies to the Iraqi capital in the coming days.

This visit is expected to result in the signing of several memoranda of understanding and agreements between American companies and their Iraqi counterparts, which will enhance the volume of trade exchange and joint investments.

**************************************************************************************************

AL-SUDANI’S ADVISOR TALKS ABOUT A “NEW CHAPTER” WITH WASHINGTON AND THE AGENDA OF A US DELEGATION IN IRAQ SOON.

Farhad Alaaldin, the Iraqi Prime Minister’s advisor for foreign affairs, spoke about a “new chapter in the Iraqi-American partnership.” He also touched on a “promising” opportunity for American companies specializing in the manufacture of floating platforms and the supply of liquefied natural gas to participate effectively in Iraq. He also revealed the agendas of a “high-level” American delegation visiting Iraq this month.

Alaa El-Din said in an article in the Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, followed by Al-Jabal, “On the sidelines of a recent visit to Washington, D.C., an American official explained to me that the US administration’s foreign policy approach focuses on making the United States more secure, stronger, and prosperous. In my opinion, this approach is completely in line with Iraq’s aspirations and foreign policy, particularly with the policy of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who has adopted the principle of putting Iraq first and the common interest, which will also make Iraq more secure, stronger, and prosperous.”

He added, “The ongoing transformations in the country are contributing to the consolidation of solid and advanced partnerships between Baghdad and Washington. Over the past years, Iraqi-American relations have witnessed steadily growing in the areas of security, energy, and the economy, in accordance with the principle of mutual interests . Today, with the accelerating pace of economic renaissance and comprehensive development in Iraq, particularly in the energy sector, opportunities are more available than ever before for major American companies to contribute to shaping this renaissance and leave a clear and effective mark, in addition to their role in strengthening and consolidating bilateral relations between the two countries .”

He noted that “a high-level delegation representing a select group of major American companies is scheduled to arrive in Baghdad in April to explore new and promising opportunities in the rapidly growing Iraqi market. This visit, led by the American-Iraqi Chamber of Commerce, is part of a broader initiative to strengthen economic and trade relations between the two countries .”

The advisor said, “Several memoranda of understanding and cooperation agreements are expected to be signed during the visit between visiting companies and their Iraqi counterparts. It is certain that solid global companies such as General Electric, KBR , Baker Hughes, Halliburton, Honeywell, and others are capable of playing a pivotal role in developing Iraq’s energy sector, given the availability of investment opportunities and multi-billion-dollar contracts to modernize this vital sector .”

Alaa El-Din noted that “this visit is likely to result in the signing of an unprecedented agreement between General Electric and the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity, aiming to produce 24,000 megawatts of highly efficient power, as announced by the Minister of Electricity, Engineer Ali Fadhil, in a televised interview on March 28, 2025. This agreement aims to contribute to bridging the significant gap in electricity demand, which is expected to reach 48,000 megawatts .”

The Prime Minister’s Advisor explained that “parallel efforts to address this challenge include establishing cross-border partnerships, in addition to continuing national work to complete the Gulf Electricity Interconnection Project, which aims to deliver 500 megawatts from the electricity grid to the Gulf Cooperation Council countries via the State of Kuwait by 2025. Iraq’s understandings with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are also expected to result in importing a total of 2,500 megawatts of energy by 2027. While the volume of imports increases to meet the growing demand, paving the way for reaching the stage of self-sufficiency, the need to cooperate with American companies in the areas of technology transfer and infrastructure development remains critical to achieving sustainability and providing long-term solutions .”

He added, “Iraq’s natural gas sector also highlights the significant opportunities available to advance the country’s energy development. Huge quantities of associated gas are still being flared daily, around the clock, due to weak infrastructure and the urgent need for advanced international expertise in processing and exploiting this vital resource. In this context, American companies possess advanced technical and technological capabilities, making them ideal partners in this field. These capabilities can effectively contribute to reducing waste and maximizing the use of natural resources, which will benefit both countries and help Iraq achieve energy self-sufficiency in the near and medium term .”

“On March 4, Iraqi Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani announced that the ministry is in the process of importing a floating regasification platform (FSRU) to secure gas supplies for the country’s power plants. The bidding process is currently underway, and the most suitable bid to implement the project is expected to be selected in the near future. This project represents a promising opportunity for American companies specialized in manufacturing floating platforms and supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) to participate effectively and compete on an equal footing with other international companies, as part of Iraq’s efforts to expand its options and diversify its sources to secure its energy needs, ” he said.

Alaa Al-Din continued, “Over the past two and a half years, Iraq has awarded more contracts to American companies than ever before, reflecting the growing level of trust and partnership between the two countries. Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States has witnessed remarkable growth, encompassing various sectors, including agriculture and food industries. Currently, the Iraqi government is moving to accelerate the implementation of major infrastructure projects, particularly in the areas of transportation, water, and communications. These sectors are areas of interest and expertise for American companies, making them among the most prominent candidates to win these contracts and contribute effectively to the development process in Iraq .”

He pointed out that “Iraq’s accelerating economic trajectory represents a real opportunity to deepen the partnership with the United States, especially in light of the ambitious drive to develop the energy and infrastructure sectors. American companies are in a unique position to lead this process and contribute to the implementation of its most important components with high efficiency. US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz confirmed this possibility during a phone call he had on March 10 with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. He thanked the Prime Minister for his commitment to the bilateral relationship between the United States and Iraq and praised the Trump administration’s dedication to strengthening energy and economic relations between the two countries for the benefit of both the American and Iraqi people .”

He pointed out that “it is increasingly clear in both Baghdad and Washington that the path forward is defined by shared interests and opportunities, which is driving bilateral relations toward more robust cooperation, based on mutual respect and convergence of strategic objectives. This is consistent with the fundamental principles of making the United States safer, stronger, and more prosperous, on the one hand, and fulfills Iraq’s aspirations for promoting stability and comprehensive economic development, on the other .”

He explained, “Looking ahead, Iraq and the United States have certain opportunities to deepen their partnership in ways that contribute to enhancing regional security, economic integration, and long-term stability. This approach was at the heart of the phone call that took place between Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and US President Donald Trump on November 8, 2024. According to the statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, both sides expressed their commitment to advancing the strategic partnership between Iraq and the United States and strengthening bilateral relations beyond security aspects, with a focus on the areas of economy, finance, energy, and technology .”

Al-Sudani’s advisor concluded by saying, “This agreement paves the way for a new chapter in the Iraqi-American partnership, heralding a promising future in light of shared interests. It places economic development and regional stability at the heart of the relationship between the two countries, serving their peoples and effectively contributing to consolidating security and peace in the region and the world .”

AL-ALAQ: DIGITAL CURRENCIES WILL RESHAPE THE TRADITIONAL BANKING SYSTEM.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, affirmed on Monday that digital currencies represent a key pillar in the future of the financial sector and could contribute to reshaping the traditional banking system. He called for serious investment in artificial intelligence and financial technology.

In his speech at the Iraqi Banking Sector Reform Conference, Al-Alaq said, “The Central Bank aims to achieve an advanced economy based on modern tools capable of keeping pace with global transformations.” He emphasized the “need to increase investments in research and development in the field of artificial intelligence, as it constitutes an effective element in developing banking services.”

He added that “digital currencies have the potential to restructure the traditional banking system and create more flexible and inclusive financial models,” noting that “the Central Bank of Iraq announces its full readiness to implement a comprehensive reform plan for the banking sector, in line with the country’s economic vision.”

Al-Alaq ‘s statements come at a time when global financial markets are witnessing increasing interest in digital transformation, which opens the door for Iraq to keep pace with this development and modernize the banking structure in a way that enhances stability and economic growth.

**************************************************************************************************

PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE COMMITTEE: LAUNCHING THE BANKING REFORM PLAN IS THE BEGINNING OF ECONOMIC REFORM.

Parliamentary Finance Committee Chairman Atwan al-Atwani affirmed on Monday that the launch of the banking reform plan is the beginning of reforming the Iraqi economy.

In a speech at the Iraqi Banking Sector Reform Conference, attended by an Al-Eqtisad News correspondent, Al-Atwani said, “Developing the banking sector is a fundamental pillar for developing the Iraqi economy beyond oil revenues.”

The head of the Finance Committee called for “diversifying revenue sources to cover the financial deficit.”

He pointed out that “the reform and development process must be accompanied by engagement with international banks to regulate foreign remittances.”

He stressed that “unofficial border crossings cause a waste of public money.”

***********************************************************************************************

LAUNCHING A PRIVATE BANKING REFORM PLAN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH IRAQI AND INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. 

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, announced the launch of a comprehensive plan to reform private banks, in partnership with local and international institutions. He emphasized that the next phase will witness a qualitative shift in the nature of banking services, based on innovation and digital transformation.

During the Iraqi Banking Sector Reform Conference, which was attended by an Al-Eqtisad News correspondent , Al-Alaq said that Iraqi banks have made significant strides in developing their banking services, but they are required to further embrace modern technology. He emphasized that artificial intelligence must be at the core of future investments in the banking sector.

He added: “The world is witnessing a broad transformation in the financial structure and banking systems, which requires traditional banks to keep pace with this radical change by offering innovative services that meet customer aspirations amidst the tremendous technological acceleration.”

The Central Bank Governor indicated that digital currencies will play a vital role in accelerating payment and money transfer transactions, requiring banks to develop their digital infrastructure.

He also noted that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could reshape the global banking landscape, adding: “Successful banks of the future will be those that embrace digital transformation tools and integrate artificial intelligence into their daily operations.

****************************************************************************************************

PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE COMMITTEE STRESSES THE NEED TO REACH AN UNDERSTANDING WITH THE US TREASURY REGARDING THE EVALUATION OF BANKS.

The Parliamentary Finance Committee stressed the need to reach an understanding with the World Bank and the US Treasury regarding the evaluation of Iraqi banks’ performance, to avoid any “sudden” decisions that could negatively impact the country’s banking sector.

This came in a speech delivered by Finance Committee Chairman Atwan Al-Atwani on Monday during his participation in the Iraq Banking Sector Development Conference, attended by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and in cooperation with Oliver Wyman, in Baghdad. 

Al-Atwani congratulated the Central Bank of Iraq’s management on the launch of the “Banking Sector Development Project,” noting that it “represents a starting point for a comprehensive reform of the financial and monetary systems, based on solid scientific foundations, and paves the way for achieving sustainable development and economic reform.”

The Chairman of the Finance Committee noted the committee’s commitment to supporting the Central Bank’s efforts to promote sustainable financing concepts, encourage public and private banks to finance economic activities and development projects, and diversify sources of income, thus contributing to reducing the financial deficit in public budgets. He added that “the banking sector is the cornerstone for driving the national economy and combating corruption.”

Al-Atwani emphasized that developing this sector “is a cornerstone of the economic reform project and a pivotal step in the transition to a diversified economy, away from excessive reliance on oil revenues.” Discussing maximizing non-oil revenues, he explained that “the introduction of modern banking systems into the Tax and Customs Administration contributes to improving financial transaction tracking mechanisms, enhances revenue collection efficiency, and reduces tax evasion, in addition to closing informal outlets that drain the state’s resources and weaken its ability to invest and provide services.”

Al-Atwani also emphasized that rebuilding confidence in the banking system and expanding the scope of digital transactions, both domestically and internationally, requires developing the banking sector’s infrastructure and enhancing its cybersecurity. Furthermore, the reform process requires establishing genuine partnerships with international banks and institutions and regulating foreign remittances to ensure compliance with international standards.

The head of the Finance Committee called for “the necessity of formulating a clear understanding with the World Bank and the US Treasury, establishing the principle that the Central Bank of Iraq is the body authorized to evaluate banks’ performance, ensure their compliance, and punish violators, to avoid any sudden decisions that would negatively impact the banking sector.”

Al-Atwani concluded his remarks by emphasizing the need for a comprehensive “reform revolution” beginning with the banking sector, emphasizing that “this requires genuine political will, institutional cooperation, and a strategic vision that goes beyond temporary solutions.” He also called for collective responsibility for reforming the banking sector, “considering it a national priority that touches on national security and financial stability, directly impacts citizens’ livelihoods, achieves social justice, and ensures the future of future generations.”

The United States announced sanctions on a group of Iraqi banks, including Rafidain Bank, for allegedly smuggling US dollars to sanctioned countries, most notably Iran. The US called on the Iraqi government to implement reforms at these banks as soon as possible.

They also discussed mechanisms for securing credits and financial transfers and ensuring their delivery to those entitled to them in Europe and the United States. This will contribute to improving services provided to Iraqi traders and importers.” 

He stressed “the importance of expanding the scope of partnership between Iraqi banks and JP Morgan,” noting “the government’s readiness to provide all forms of support to strengthen this relationship.”

IRAN-BACKED MILITIAS IN IRAQ ARE READY TO DISARM FOLLOWING TRUMP’S THREATS

By Ronny Reyes

Apr 07, 2025  

Several of the Iran-backed militia groups operating in Iraq are set to demilitarize for the first time to avoid conflict with the US following President Trump’s threats to Tehran’s proxies, senior Baghdad officials said.

Ten senior commanders and Iraqi officials urged the capital to begin the process of disarming and disbanding the militias operating in Iraq to avoid the worst-case scenario with the US.

“Trump is ready to take the war with us to worse levels, we know that, and we want to avoid such a bad scenario,” a commander of Kataeb Hezbollah, the most powerful Shiite militia operating in Iraq, told Reuters.

The commander, along with leaders of the al-Nujaba, Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada and Ansar Allah al-Awfiya groups, have been meeting with each other and officials in Baghdad to discuss the demilitarization efforts.

Izzat al-Shahbandar, a senior Shiite Muslim politician close to Iraq’s governing alliance, confirmed the meetings between the militia chiefs and Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, describing the talks as “very advanced.”

“The factions are not acting stubbornly or insisting on continuing in their current form,” he noted, adding that the militants were “fully aware” they could be targeted by US airstrikes like their fellow Iran-backed militants in Yemen.

The militia leaders said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has given them their blessing to make whatever decision needs to be made to avoid conflict with the US. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has been in talks with militia leaders and is seeking for all militants in the nation to stand down. 

AP There are some 50,000 militants operating in Iraq under the umbrella of the Islamic Resistance.

Along with overseeing the militias’ demilitarization, Sudani is allegedly calling on all the estimated 50,000 militants across the Islamic Resistance in Iraq to put down their weapons and surrender their arsenals, which include long-range missiles and anti-aircraft weapons, according to two security officials who monitor militias’ activities.

The US State Department touted Iraq’s proactive approach as it reins in the militias, calling on Baghdad to absorb the forces and keep Tehran’s influence out.

These forces “must respond to Iraq’s commander-in-chief and not to Iran,” the department said in a statement.

The move comes after the Houthi rebels in Yemen were hit by a series of airstrikes by the US. Getty Images.

The IRGC declined to comment on the progress in Iraq.

The demilitarization efforts come as the US seeks to further isolate Iran and its so-called “Axis of Resistance,” which has seen major blows following Israel’s destruction of Hamas and Hezbollah’s leadership in Gaza and Lebanon.

The Houthis in Yemen have also suffered recent blows under widespread US airstrikes last month, with Tehran also losing its foothold in Syria following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

Ibrahim al-Sumaidaie, a former political adviser to Sudani, told Iraqi state TV that the US has ramped up its warning since Trump’s return to the White House, telling Baghdad to take the threats seriously.

“If we do not voluntarily comply, it may be forced upon us from the outside, and by force,” he said.

Since 2013, I have taken my own time from my gasthaus business to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to spend my time doing all this. My time is hard to find, as I have to hold down two formal jobs already due to COVID just to keep the business going. So, I do it out of charity and love with the understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. As I am saying this take time and is like a third job.

I recommend $10 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write eight (8) Newsletters every month. I have to investigate the news and try to pull out the FACTS, then pull off the articles from Iraqi news channels, translate them, talk to my contact in Iraq and then write and publish the Newsletter. Do you think perhaps a little gift might show some appreciation for all this hard work? Just asking…. Still only a hand full of readers help out each month. Enough said….. The future of the Newsletter depends upon you.

 Let’s all try to chip in!

STATUS OF THE RV

April showers bring May flowers and so will we see these lovely flowers? Still no RV and “NO!”, it’s not going to happen this week…lol..lol.. How far must they go until they pull the plug…? Still also no recent news of finalizing the WTO accension for Iraq. I believe this is all related to this Development Road Project too.

So, today I have some more interesting news.

For today’s Newsletter I want to continue the news about the ongoing effort for the economic development in Iraq. My impression of this news is that this is Iraq’s time. Why am I only now showing excitement about this effort. This excitement comes because of all the components I see now coming together and I can see the writing on the wall of the end result.

Okay so another analogy coming….Those of my readers who know anything about cooking know that to get a dish that is tasty and satisfying you have to learn to first have the right ingredients then, take the time too blend the ingredients by slowly simmering it on the stove. What could go wrong? If you don’t start with the right mix of food and spices then how can they blend to the taste desired.

So, what are the ingredients needed for Iraq needed to develop its economy (the ingredients)?

• Desire to grow the economy
• Investment Laws
• Local Laws
• Lack of Corruption and Bribery
• Low Taxes
• Ability to Transfer funds into and out of Iraq safely
• Safe Iraqi banks
• Safe and Efficient Means of Transportation
• Overall Safe Environment
• Infrastructure (water, electricity, fuel)

Within this analogy of my cooking experience, I am presenting a video of an interview with a potential entrepreneur wanting to invest in Iraq Mr. Mohammed Khudairi. In this video we get a first-hand look at the obstacles facing in Iraq. These are the ingredients for preparing the fine, tasty meal (or RV). It seems from his perspective Iraq is close but still needs some work to completely open its doors to outside investors. Seems some ingredients are still missing.

He tells us a potential investor can navigate through them but still to be cautious. His interview also tells us there are still many obstacles to overcome and possible challenges Iraq needs to make to “smooth cut” to a transition to a capitalistic economy. Yes, Iraq is a tough market to get into, however if you listen carefully, you will see the potential is enormous. This means huge potential for growth which means huge profits. My question to Iraq is this – Why don’t they organize a forum of small businessmen and get their feedback on the challenges facing them. If you have been following my blog all this time you know that the CBI already held these kind of forums for very large investors many times already. These forums were held in Great Britian and Iraq and were held many years ago. Many of the changes we still see for small businesses. We know small businesses (mom and pop) are at the heart of any strong capitalistic system.

Here is a map below of Iraq with its bordering countries. Can you see now why it is considered a central hup? The main Development Road Project is in blue. The pink and green routes are future road projects that go inward from the central core road. The additional routes extent from the initial road to a specific country’s border or ports of entry/exit. Think of this road project as the U.S. interstate highway or Germany’s Autobaud systems. What is their real purpose? To align with shipping and transportation of goods within a corridor for trucking. They too where strategically laid out in a corridor from the port of entry/exit (s) to the interior if you care to study their maps. They also have the same main highways going north to south then east to west. Now Iraq is following this plan too only decades later. If you look at the prosperity of the U.S. and Germany, we can contribute most of it to the ability to transport these produced goods to markets. The U.S. has even gone one step further in deliveries to the home directly with UPS, Federal Express and now Amazon same day deliveries at no extra charge. Trust me as Iraq too with only its 40 million citizens will need these other middle eastern countries for their markets.

HOW TO WIN IN ONE OF THE WORLD’S TOUGHEST MARKETS

From my perspective, I see the largest impacts that are going to “drive” everything else for the Iraqi economy are multi-level including the banking sector and with transportation. I have a very hard time separating only a couple factors but these factors stand out as the highest priority. Of course, security too is a given and I believe the may very well be at a level of needed security, not any more or less then in the U.S. or any other developed country. We have already seen the “desire” of the CBI and the GOI to lead these efforts in the many reforms in the banking sector including this huge project of the new First Rafidain Bank as it ties to the Development Road Project.

In today’s news we get more very good news in this direction. Why am I presenting mainly only this kind of news? It’s because of all the news coming from Iraq this is the news. Get it? These are the issues they are now encountering and moving ahead with. Again I am telling you they have moved mostly now from the “Pillars of Financial Reform” that I have talked about with you for years to the now using these reforms to build their economy and bring in the investors. They keep calling this the “next stage”.

So, Iraq seems to have moved on to a “next stage” and we learn about this stage today in the news articles too. There are three articles in particular that stand out on this subject matter of building the Iraqi economy. They deal with mainly with building the infrastructure of Iraq and how this will benefit Iraq and can be used in itself to be profitable, never mind the long-term benefits to other businesses by having this infrastructure in place. Yes, it will help Iraq to grow even more. It is exponential. By this I mean something allows something else and so on and so forth. Then the working connectivity of all the parts together allow for the synergy of the end result – the whole to be realized.  

Define Synergy: The interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.

😊 😊The first article is titled “IRAQ JOINS TIR TRANSIT SYSTEM”. The global TIR transit system became fully operational in Iraq on April 1, 2025. I want to emphasize that this is happening NOW not months or years down the road. “The International Road Union (IRU) said that Iraq is poised to strengthen its position as a key trade hub in the Middle East, making goods transport more efficient and secure across the country’s borders and beyond. The initiative connects southern and northern Iraq, also providing an efficient trade corridor linking Asia, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, Türkiye and Europe.” If you seriously read and take to heart this news today you can’t help but to say WOW! WOW! WOW! Can you say WOW! WOW! WOW!?  Can the news get any better in this direction for opening the doors for trade in Iraq? Remember I always told you in the past the plan for Iraq is to make it a key trade hub and so now we learn this again in this article this is the goal and the infrastructure is being laid NOW to do just that. They will need the infrastructure to transport these goods and distribute them to market. If you look at the map you can clearly see Iraq’s centralized position in the middle east.

😊 😊This next article in today’s news is just as good as the first. It is titled “IRAQ SIGNS CONTRACT FOR NEW ECONOMIC CITY”. The National Investment Commission (NIC) has signed the Task Order for Phase One of developing the Al-Tayeb Specialized Economic Service Zone in Maysan Province, positioning it as Iraq’s first integrated economic city. So, it has begun. They are actually NOW (not years from now) beginning to build these new economic cities (industrial cities). We learned about these industrial cities years ago and so now they are happening. I also want to tie this article of today to the issues we keep hearing about the 2025 budget and its holdups. No it’s now about not wanting to show a RV rate change in the budget (how ridiculous) but instead this is the money needed for these cities that they talk about in all these other articles about the triparte budget for 2023-2025. It is all connected. Get it? This money is needed as an addition to the 2025 budget projected in 2022. Why would Iraq spend billions on this project of these new concept cities if the potential for a big payoff later could not be realized?  The contract was signed with U.S. firm KBR, and includes strategic economic studies, investment opportunity packaging, and sectoral planning for the area.

Here is the best part about the news in this article and I quote – “We are told this project aims to establish a major economic hub linked to the Development Road project among other benefits.” Are you beginning to see the synergy?

Then a third article also inline with the first two brings us news of a serious investor in Iraq. This company BlackRock has its hands in just about every large company worldwide in one way or the another. It is a behind the scenes capitalist and company builder. It is a huge company and influences just about everything in our lives, only we don’t realize it. So, by BlackRock acquiring a port in Iraq means they are there do business. They are now just laying their infrastructure for their business model. In the future we will see much more of BlackRock in Iraq. Remember that I said this to you when I bring it up again in the near future.

😊 😊The article is titled “ONE OF THEM IS IN IRAQ…AMERICAN “BLACKROCK” ACQUIRES PORTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.” US asset management firm BlackRock and Italian shipping company MSC have acquired 43 ports owned by Hong Kong-based multinational CK Hucheng Holdings in a deal that will give the US asset manager control of 12 ports in the Middle East, located on strategic coasts stretching from the UAE and Oman to Iraq and Egypt. 

😊😊There is one more important article in line with what we are emphasizing today and it is titled “MONEY MOVES INTERVIEWS MOHAMMED KHUDAIRI”. In this episode of Money Moves, Muhammed Mekki sits down with Mohammed Khudairi, an Iraqi-American entrepreneur and investor who’s helping rebuild Iraq, one business at a time. Mohammed’s family company, Khudairi Group, has grown into a multinational spanning oil and gas, construction, and retail. But what sets him apart is his passion for Iraqi startups. From backing the country’s first major tech exit to advising early founders, Mohammed is proving that doing business in Iraq isn’t just possible, it can be incredibly profitable.

In the interview they talk about:

• What it takes to succeed in frontier markets like Iraq
• How the Iraqi diaspora is returning to build the country
• Why the future of tech in Iraq is brighter than you think
• Real estate, startup exits, and investing in one of the most misunderstood economies on earth

Please watch the video I presented above.

In summary we can see the potential in Iraq and we must dispel these negative attitudes that the RV will never happen or it will take years more. If you just take the time to get serious about your investment in the Iraqi dinar and LEARN and EDUCATE yourself maybe you might stop complaining? So we have to wait a bit longer. Can you think of any investment out there now that you can make multi-millions off a simple thousand dollar investment? How long you have to wait all depends on when you invested but I will add that many of these intel gurus have compared this Iraqi dinar to the Kuwaiti dinar event and this is so unfair of a comparison to make. This is what got many so excited and went off half-cocked. This Iraqi dinar is not a get rich quick scheme, although if you decide to stick out the ride, you may be rich beyond your wildest dreams.

God through his prophets even tells us of this coming abundance and prosperity and the bible says we will be given back seven fold what has been taken from us.

Proverbs 6:31

The phrase “sevenfold” is often associated with the biblical principle of accountability and justice. In Proverbs 6:31, it states that if someone is caught stealing, they must repay seven times what they stole, even if it costs them all their wealth.

Have you been watching these prophetic videos I have been presenting to you about all the exposure of corruption in the US government? I believe that when we begin to see the inditements and convictions we will begin to hear more about the Project to Delete the Zeros. In fact we are due for an update any day now from this CBI on this topic.

We are witnessing a new age for America and Iraq unfolding in front of our eyes. If you have also been reading my blog on the Iraqi dinar investment you can see the same parallel happening there too. There is a huge change underway, not coming, but here already begun. It is happening NOW! We can all feel it but many of you don’t want to believe that God is orchestrating it. Okay so you don’t believe in God. But can you deny the sudden changes and the pace to which they are now happening? Yes, I firmly believe God is using certain politicians to do the work, remember this is a physical world too and God needs His prophets and boots on the ground to facilitate the work. It is not easy work as tthere is a great paradigm shift that must occur in Iraq and in Washington. In fact, I will go so far as to assure you this shift will also happen throughout the entire middle east. Like what is not happening in Iraq will soon spread throughout the middle east, as countries will realize PEACE is much more profitable than TERRORISM.  The changes in the U.S. too will be contagious with other developed countries and God’s movement of exposure and justice will come to many nations, like what is taking place in the U.S.

I encourage everyone to go listen to the Julie Green prophetic words in her five (5) hearings from last weekend. They are powerful. I presented the first one in my 4/1 Newsletter and today I present the combined 2^nd and 3^rd ones together. I hope to have the last two on Tuesday. I actually recorded just the prophecies for you this time, as they were so powerful you needed to hear them this way back-to-back. We all need to absorb these prophecies and understand what God is telling us now.

So, I have to emphasize again there are tools that we can use at our disposal to analyze and study what is going on in the world today and tie this all together with our investment in the Iraq dinar. What tools you might ask? I will list them – educating ourselves, news from Iraq, factual information, gift of prophecy. Them watch it all play out. It is our choice to use these available tools.

—OR—

We can look the other way and keep going on with all this nonsense talk from these intel gurus. We can sit like lumps on a log, crying in our spilt milk like babies and listening to all this crap and silly nonsense from these idiot intel gurus. They are not a least bit concerned about really taking the time to study this situation and put all the pieces together for you. They are scammers and all about making money now while using lies to hook you to their silly nonsense. For when you do put the pieces together, they tell of a different story, a wonderful story and the picture of the puzzle finally comes clearer and cleared. We don’t need these stupid bank memos, four letter agencies or every day / any day RV stories telling us all this FAKE news. How much longer will some you bang your head against the wall with these idiots? We can study this in a very real sense. Yes, no speculation or worry. Our investment is sound and we can see the path to the RV.

Are you Getting HAPPIER yet!

_______________________________________

What can we as investors do right now?

• Pray and pray some more for the people of Iraq
• Be very patient….
• Do not sell your dinar….  
• No more silly intel guru talk….
• No more NESARA / GESARA crazy talk
• Stop listening to all these idiots as they are only confusing you more and more (especially TNT, Frank26 and “The Big Call” idiots.)
• Don’t over speculate and set unjustified expectations, be real and stick to the FACTS.

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

                                             Just the FACTS!

______________________________________________

These prophecies 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 this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. 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 more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.

God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.

These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do 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.

From God to the PROPHET:  Julie Green

Two prophecies from Weekend of March 29th – 30th.     

The 2nd and 3rd of the 5 prophecies given this past weekend.   I will try to get all 5 of these very explosive prophecies to you this week.        

It appears the exposure of the big lie from the 2020 election is now about to come out. Also the efforts to bring down all the U.S. major cities and how the were doing it. I thought it best of you heard both prophecies back-to-back in one video. I tried to capture just the prophecies but you can go onto Rumble and find the complete commentary and biblical passages that follow.

_______________________________________

PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.

____________________________________

HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?

Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.

Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.

Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.

This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9^th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

AMERICANS UNDERSTAND WHAT DOGE IS DOING.

Senator Kennedy puts it all into perspective. Why don’t the democrats understand? could it be they are 1. involved in much of corruption being exposed; 2. like the situation the way it was in the past, like the corruption; 3.can’t face the same diversity and change they claim they always wanted but just not for them, yes, they own the hypocrisy,

__________________________________________________________

MEET THE DOGE TEAM.

Aren’t you getting sick and tired about now of the democrat liberal rhetoric about the DOGE Team? So, what is the TRUTH. Who is actually on it and how do they operate? They are not a bunch of mischievous high school kids as the democrats want you to believe. See for yourself the lies being told.

____________________________________________

WHAT DOES THE DEMOCRAT PARTY STAND FOR ANYWAY?

What is do bad about cutting waste and saving taxpayers billions, maybe even cutting your taxes as a result. Do they even know themselves? If you are a democrat and object to the Trump DOGE agency, then you might want to watch this video and learn something. I find it amazing how people forget so soon, if they ever even learned anything at all in the past.

WHAT YOU ARE NOT BEING TOLD ABOUT THE UN AGENDA 2030

If you ever wondered where this woke stuff comes from you can clearly see it is a non-elected body of people with their lofty ideas for humanity. It’s called the United Nations leadership team. Actually, it’s about lining their own pockets and pockets of their big paying supporters. Of course, they use their fancy narratives to lend credibility to what they propose and to get you to go along with it. But we have already seen with UN Agenda 2021 has done to the world, that in really it is not about equality, racial justice or any of their other narratives, but just all about more CONTROL. Listen carefully what they want to do, not what they say. Who the hell are these people anyhow to force their own design upon the world?

One last note. There is a reason why President Trump is defunding these UN agencies. See if you can understand it more after watching this video. I am here to try to help you understand. These Un guys are marching to the tune of Marxists Communist ideology.

CONTROL- CONTROL- AND MORE CONTROL

ITS CALLED THE UN UNCHECKED OPEN BORDER POLICIES. The U.S. is not alone in this problem, only that the U.S. under the Trump administration now seems to understand and is doing something about it. Will the other developed nations realize the dangers too and take the lead from the U.S.? Can we solve yet another crisis brought on us by the woke UN policies? Oh… maybe it’s time to stop funding the UN or better yet get rid of it altogether. What purpose is it now serving?

HILLARY CLINTON EMAILS REVEAL REAL REASON U.S. DESTROYED LIBYA

In case you are wondering this is all connected to what we are now seeing going on in Iraq and why the dinar is being still suppressed even though we know its true value based on its assets.

The U.S. in decades of past administrations supported a global system of sustaining itself to stay in control to serve only the 1% of the elite. This is the real “sustainability” they mean when you hear this term used quite often by the UN.

Yes, it is your tax dollars supporting these efforts. Hillary tried to wash her computer while communicating off the Federal secured servers, but the information was still obtained on what was going on and why in Libya. So, we can see that the CIA is the non-elected organization that must be cleaned up and is the controlling mechanism for these foreign wars.

What happened in Libya is a perfect example of what is taking place. In my 04/01 Newsletter I presented information about the Libya currency and how it finally was reformed, but only after the country’s resources were finally compromised and controlled by the elite.

The “Project For The New American Century” planned out seven (7) Middle Eastern and African countries that needed to be taken. What did they want? They wanted their resources.

Libya

Syria

Iran

Iraq

Somalia

Afghanistan

Lebanon

Do all of these countries sound familiar? Are these not the countries in the past decades that have been the areas (target) of conflict and war? Of course the “fake” news media paints a different picture to hide the TRUTH. These small wars don’t just happen they are all orchestrated and planned for a reason. It’s all about the money.

____________________________________________

THINK TANK: PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY

So, if you truly, truly want all these endless, costly wars to end, saving $$$ trillions of your tax dollars and lives, then you must first stand up and fight the establishment, know who is causing them and then shut down these warped policies forever. Elect officials that will eliminate these players or agencies from your governments and then ensure the checks and balances are being enforced in the future.

THE COVID FIASCO OVER U.S. EDUCATION

What really happened during Covid in our schools and why? Who orchestrated this downward spiral in our educational systems? Maybe after watching this interview today you can get a much better sense as to why President Trump decided to shut down the U.S. Dept of Education and turn it back to the states to run.

____________________________________________

The U.S. Financial System: DO YOU WANT A GLOBAL MAFIA OR THE FEDERAL RESERVE?

Obviously, there is yet another 3^rd choice to which President Trump brings to the table. A revamping of the entire U.S. and maybe even the global financial system.

It is estimated that there are up to 170 top secret dark U.S. military bases throughout the world. How do they get the money to fund all these bases?

Why is DOGE so important? Is its effort just the beginning of draining the swamp? What really has to be done to complete the job?

Catherine Fitts helps us see the big picture and piece together what is really going on. Are we still asleep to the control grid behind the scenes? Can we further expose it in its entirety and fix it? Will Trump go all the way?

Catherine Fitts: Missing $21 Trillion, Corruption

When she talks about “hard power” vs “soft power” she is referring to weather modification capabilities, using wild fires, intensifying hurricanes, etc. Yes, using today’s technology to bend the will of the people and eventually take the land and control over the population. I know this sounds ridiculously mind bending issues and how this could even be happening in the US, but I assure you it is.

Please try to remember to pray each and every day. In Hebrews 11:6, it underscores this principle of why we pray: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

It is LENT time for us Catholics. Praying the rosaries for me is my way to pray and has had a significant impact on my life and focus during this Easter season. I find it is good to remember the Stations of the Cross during lent and what our savior did for us. In know many of you may not be Catholics or even Christians but try to take a different approach this Easter. Try to see what all the fuss is about Christ. Put yourself in Christ shoes (or should I say sandals) as an ordinary person in today’s world. You can quickly see that the nature of man has not changed very much and if Christ were born today, many would probably try to crucify him. Have we not learned anything?

IRAQ JOINS TIR TRANSIT SYSTEM

The global TIR transit system became fully operational in Iraq on April 1, 2025.

The International Road Union (IRU) said that Iraq is poised to strengthen its position as a key trade hub in the Middle East, making goods transport more efficient and secure across the country’s borders and beyond.

The initiative connects southern and northern Iraq, also providing an efficient trade corridor linking Asia, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, Türkiye and Europe.

Iraq transport minister H.E. Razzaq Muhaibes Al-Saadawi said: “The operationalization of the TIR system in the Republic of Iraq, in which IRU played a significant role, marks a significant milestone as it places the country on the brink of a new phase of potential investments and interregional trade with our neighbors and other countries in the region.”

The TIR system is expected to leverage Iraq’s strategic location and to increase the efficiency of cross-border trade, and it is forecast to reduce transport time by 80 percent and costs by 38 percent. “For the last two years, we have been working tirelessly on upgrading the road transport infrastructure in cooperation with all relevant parties. We are therefore committed to maximizing the advantages of the TIR system in Iraq to boost the transport sector and the national economy,” said Al-Saadawi.

IRU secretary general Umberto de Pretto, commenting on the launch, said: “For almost eight decades, TIR has been driving secure trade. I look forward to seeing the first TIR truck crossing the territory of Iraq.

“Trucks will seamlessly transit the country and proceed along corridors offering a high level of security, opening a new chapter for the country and its role in international trade.”

The integration of TIR’s Electronic Pre-Declaration (TIR-EPD) system with Iraq’s national URUK platform allows the submission of advance cargo information. Throughout a journey, trucks can be closely monitored using GPS tracking, while regular checkpoints ensure cargo and transport security, before it ultimately reaches its final destination safely and on time.

ONE OF THEM IS IN IRAQ…AMERICAN “BLACKROCK” ACQUIRES PORTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

US asset management firm BlackRock and Italian shipping company MSC have acquired 43 ports owned by Hong Kong-based multinational CK Hucheng Holdings in a deal that will give the US asset manager control of 12 ports in the Middle East, located on strategic coasts stretching from the UAE and Oman to Iraq and Egypt. 

In March 2025, a consortium of BlackRock and MSC reached a $22.8 billion deal to acquire 43 ports owned by CK Huzhen, a Hong Kong-listed company owned by one of Asia’s richest men, 96-year-old billionaire Li Ka-shing.

The deal made headlines because it would give BlackRock and MSC control of two ports at each end of the Panama Canal, the strategic waterway that US President Donald Trump has threatened to seize to limit China’s influence in the Western Hemisphere.

But the agreement’s impact extends beyond Panama to the Middle East, where Arab countries, particularly the Gulf states, are seeking to diversify their economies away from oil. The shipping and ports sectors represent another source of economic diversification for these countries.

Which ports will BlackRock and MSC acquire in the Middle East?

Under the deal reached between the US-based BlackRock and Italy’s MSC Group, the two companies are set to acquire 12 ports in the Middle East, distributed as follows:

Egypt (5): Alexandria – Dekheila – Abu Qir – Ain Sokhna – and the new B100 berth at Alexandria Port

Emirates (4): Ras Al Khaimah – Ajman – Khasab – UAQ

Sultanate of Oman (1): Sohar

Iraq (1): Basra

Saudi Arabia (1): Jazan

IRAQ MOVES UNDER US PRESSURE TO LIMIT HOUTHI ACTIVITIES

The Iraqi government has pledged to restrict the activities of Yemen’s Houthi-aligned government within its borders, confining their operations to media and cultural endeavours, according to sources cited by Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. This decision comes amid heightened international scrutiny and pressure, particularly from the US, which has intensified its aggression against Yemen.

Since 2018, the Houthis have maintained a presence in Baghdad’s Jadriya neighbourhood, operating an office overseen by Abu Idris Al-Sharafi. This office has facilitated coordination with Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) and other pro-Iran factions. According to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP), the Houthis have leveraged Iraqi territory for logistical support, including the smuggling of arms and subsidised fuel to Yemen, often in violation of international embargoes.

The Houthis’ integration with Iraqi resistance factions has extended to joint military operations. In July 2024, Houthi missile specialist Hussein Mastour was killed alongside members of Kataib Hezbollah in a US air strike targeting a drone facility in Jurf Al-Sakhar.

Despite official denials of an operational Houthi presence, sources indicate that “many of their activities — particularly political and media-related ones — have been halted, but the movement’s representatives remain in Iraq.” Abdulrahman Al-Jazaeri of the State of Law coalition acknowledged international pressure to close Houthi offices, stating, “All such activities are being monitored… strictly limited to civilian, media and cultural work only.”

Supporters of the Sanaa-based government, currently only recognized by Iran, argue that Iraq has offered them essential space to resist aggression and support the resistance in Gaza against the occupation state. Far from posing a threat, the Houthis’ presence in Iraq is seen as part of a broader struggle for sovereignty and regional justice in the face of Western-backed encirclement.

ARAQCHI: IRAN WILL NOT SEEK TO RESEARCH, PRODUCE, OR POSSESS NUCLEAR WEAPONS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stressed that Iran will not seek to research, produce, or possess nuclear weapons under any circumstances.

The minister said in a press statement that the 2015 nuclear agreement included a fundamental commitment from Iran that still stands and the United States has benefited from it.

He explained that there is not even the slightest evidence that Iran has violated its commitment to the 2015 nuclear agreement.

He stressed that diplomatic engagement has proven effective in the past and can remain effective until now.

He continued that it must be clear to everyone that there is no such thing as a military option, let alone a military solution.

He pointed out that the catastrophic failures in the region, which cost previous US administrations more than seven trillion dollars, speak for themselves enough.

IRAQ SIGNS CONTRACT FOR NEW ECONOMIC CITY

The National Investment Commission (NIC) has signed the Task Order for Phase One of developing the Al-Tayeb Specialised Economic Service Zone in Maysan Province, positioning it as Iraq’s first integrated economic city.

Key Developments:

• NIC Chairman Dr. Haider Mohammed Makiyah stated that Al-Tayeb Economic City will attract global investors across agriculture, industry, tourism, housing, and entertainment sectors, serving as a model for future multi-service economic cities in other provinces.
• The contract, signed with U.S. firm KBR, includes strategic economic studies, investment opportunity packaging, and sectoral planning for the area.

The project aims to:

• Establish a major economic hub linked to the Development Road project.
• Boost Iraq’s economy and provide local employment in Maysan.
• Strengthen interagency coordination for smooth project execution.

The meeting was attended by the Governor of Maysan, members of Executive Order Committee 24771, the Maysan Investment Commission, and representatives from the Prime Minister’s Office. Discussions focused on ensuring timely implementation, promoting sustainable development, and creating attractive investment opportunities in Iraq.

ABOUT THE NEWSLETTER:

April 1, 2025 Mnt Goat News Brief

Guten Tag everyone: I have some excellent good news for you today. In fact its WOW! news.

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.

Since 2013, I have taken my own time from my gasthaus business to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to spend my time doing all this. My time is hard to find, as I have to hold down two formal jobs already due to COVID just to keep the business going. So, I do it out of charity and love with the understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. As I am saying this take time and is like a third job.

I recommend $10 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write eight (8) Newsletters every month. I have to investigate the news and try to pull out the FACTS, then pull off the articles from Iraqi news channels, translate them, talk to my contact in Iraq and then write and publish the Newsletter. Do you think perhaps a little gift might show some appreciation for all this hard work? Just asking…. Still only a hand full of readers help out each month. Enough said….. The future of the Newsletter depends upon you.

 Let’s all try to chip in!

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

AL-SUDANI AND ALLAWI DISCUSS GOVERNMENT EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE ECONOMIC REFORM.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani discussed with former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi on Saturday strengthening government efforts to achieve economic reform.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani receives former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, and they discuss strengthening government efforts to achieve economic reform.

(You remember former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. He was the very first prime minister for the new democratic Iraq. His second term was stolen by corrupt politicians and Nori Al-Maliki took over for the next 8 years and did not advance Iraq, in fact he is the one that corrupted the currency auctions and fed Iran billions of US dollars, not to mention ignoring most of the new constitution. Sound familiar? It is so good to see Allawi supporting Al-Sudani’s reforms and efforts to bring back the dinar to its “glory days”. 😊 Actually this warmed my heart to see the cooperation between these two men. Its been a long time…)

More news….

PRIME MINISTER: WE RENEW OUR COMMITMENT TO IMPLEMENTING THE GOVERNMENT’S PROGRAM AND CONTINUING TO WORK UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES WITHOUT INTERRUPTION.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani congratulated Iraqis on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.

A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, a copy of which was received by {Euphrates News}, quoted Al-Sudani as saying: “On the occasion of the blessed Eid al-Fitr, we pray to God Almighty to bless its days for our noble Iraqi people and for the entire Islamic nation, and to accept our acts of obedience, good deeds and striving to please Him, and to spread peace and security throughout the world.”

He added, “We renew our commitment to implementing the government’s program in all its service, social, and economic dimensions, and to continue working at all times and under all circumstances without interruption, and to exert every effort for reconstruction and development, in accordance with what is required by the supreme interests of our people and the aspirations of all its citizens.”

(WOW! WOW! WOW! you have to luv it! Please put two and two together. What are they saying? We will go over this in today’s news. 😊)

STATUS OF THE RV

Welcome to April! Still no RV and no its not going to happen this week…lol..lol.. Let me emphasize again that these RV intel gurus on the internet are playing head games with you. When will you learn their garbage is only confusing you? 

So, today I have some interesting news. I want to preface telling this news because many of you are going to off half-cocked as you normally do, by thinking the RV is imminent. It is NOT, however it won’t take long to implement this strategy either. Al-Sudani knows he might get another term, but nothing is certain either. So like President Trump he is moving things along. So please don’t give me your sad story bashing me that the RV did not go on ‘YOUR” timing.

Today the focus is mainly all on the Development Road Project within Iraq. We can now see the intent of the digital dinar and why they need it. It all now fits together nicely. Yes, it took a few weeks to figure it out.

It is to transfer funds during the series of these projects and afterwards used to export and import. Folks, this Development Road Project is huge and encompasses many aspects of what we have and are still learning. There are huge financers now coming forward. These are big players. Why are they all of a sudden committing all this money? Could it be the influence of President Trump? Could it be the announcement of the digital dinar? Could it be the announcement by Al-Sudani that the dollar is finally controlled, something that Ali Al-Alaq told us almost 6 months ago. These planned industrial cities are meant to produce and goods to be consumed in country and some exported abroad. The ability to manufacture and deliver exports has always been the wealth of any great nation.

Oh… so if Iraq can produce more needed goods in country and do not have to import what is this telling us? It is the balance of trade and making Iraq rich. Is this not where they needed to go economically? Is this not getting out of the sole issue of an oil based “rentier” economy? How many times must we hear about this goal in the news. Oh… did I mention the customs and tariffs that also are an integral part of this process and result from all of this trade? Didn’t they also told us in the past that this revenue alone could rival the oil sales? Are you putting two and two together? Actually, its much more than two and two. Let’s take a look at all the pieces:

1.Port of Faw

2.Customs and Tariffs Reforms

3.Industrial Cities

4.Development Road Project

5.All the Pillars of Financial Reforms we have been witnessing (last 2 years)

6.A non-corruptible system of payments and funding (The new Digital Dinar)

7.Currency Reform (TBD)

Are all these parts not what they have been telling us all along they needed to do in order to have the needed economic “stability” and “sustainability”?  I do not believe for one second, they intend to use the US dollar anymore for trade in the near future, actually they just told us this recently, so we know its now a FACT. They told us they will be using their own currency – the digital dinar. If this ain’t a WOW! I don’t know what it…. lol.. lol.. lol… But how can they do this without the IQD on FOREX. I don’t know, you tell me…. 😊

Having said all this, then why are many of my readers so gloomy? Why are many of you giving up? I don’t get it. Yes, I get the frustration too. Don’t think I am not also frustrated with all the corruption that has been holding back what we want. 

______________________________

Today I also wanted to bring you news of what just happened in Libya with theor currency. We need to look at these other middle eastern countries and learn lessons from them too.    

The Libyan Dinar Saga:

On 20 January 2025, the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) had announced the issuance of new banknotes in the 5-, 10- and 20-dinars denominations in the coming weeks and months. Yes, their newer lower denominations. The LD 10 denomination was issued on 26 January. All the new denominations bear the signature of the new CBL Governor, Naji Issa. The CBL said the new denomination will go into circulation along with the currently circulating issuances, starting today, Thursday, 27 March.‎

Just so you know today 1 Libyan Dinar = 0.21 US Dollar (21 cents)

What can we learn from this Libyan Dinar?

Remember that the politics of Libya has been shaped by the “shallow state” ceded by former authoritarian leader Muammar Gadhafi, who was overthrown in 2011. It took Libya 14 years to restructure their country and finally get back their currency. Iraq is now in this same process and it is taking a bit longer than Libya due to its association and corruption with Iran. Remember that Iran is still part of the axis of evil.

So what can we learn from this latest redenomination in Libya?

First, we can learn that Libya “gradually” rolled out the new lower banknote denominations.

Secondly, we can also see that the rate is 21 cents not thousands of dinars per dollar.

Third, we can ask the question of how can Iraq expect to trade in an environment of the middle east where many, if not all, of their trading partners have currencies that have been already “normalized” and lower denominations as legal tender?  

My final point about this Libyan dinar saga is that we all know Iraq is chock-full of resources with many more assets than Libya and even many other middle eastern countries. Why is the Iraqi dinar then still suppressed? Oh….but what is important about Libya is what has been told to us in the recent articles from Iraqi news. Did you pick up on what these articles said. I hope you did but I will present a couple of the articles to you again below: (pay attention!)

______________________________

Will Iraq ultimately be forced by the U.S. to permanently dissolve the Iranian Popular Mobilization Forces stationed within Iraq?

Remember that I told you years ago that these forces will cause havoc within Iraq and and pawns to the Iranian politicians in the government just like the illegal immigrants were for the democrats in the U.S. and like BLT and Antifa riots. This is how they have “unofficial” groups do their dirty work for them. So we witnessed it too in Iraq as these militia sent off rockets many times hitting U.S. bases. But you decide after reading the culmination of these very recent articles I am presenting below:

So here is a past article from my 03/18 Newsletter titled “IRAN MAY LOSE IRAQ.” TRUMP AND THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPLOITING “FEAR” IN NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS”.  The American magazine “Foreign Affairs” reported that the Trump administration has an opportunity to expel Iran from Iraq, not through military action, but rather through “firm diplomacy, the threat of sanctions, and intelligence operations,” giving the Americans greater leverage at the negotiating table with the Iranians.

After the American report, translated by Shafaq News Agency, pointed to the success of Iran’s strategy since 1979, establishing a network of “agents and friends” across the Middle East, which has given Tehran influence in Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria, the report said that the events of the past year have upended this regional order, with Israel’s destruction of Hezbollah in Lebanon and the control of Sunni forces supported by Türkiye over Syria. He added that Iran is “terrified of another domino falling,” with Iraq considered the most likely place for this to happen, as Tehran’s allies in Baghdad are already on edge. Yes, Libya is not part of the Tehran axis of influence.

In another article from today’s news titled “AL-SUDANI: THERE IS NO AMERICAN REQUEST TO PERMANENTLY DISSOLVE THE POPULAR MOBILIZATION FORCES, AND IRAQ’S ACCOUNT IN THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS NOT SUBJECT TO GUARDIANSHIP.” Oh… really? Let’s get the TRUTH on this one. Read on….

Al-Sudani said in a press statement that “Iraq’s account with the US Federal Reserve is now under the control of the government and is not subject to Washington’s tutelage.” He explained that he responded to questions about the United States’ silence over the past 20 years by saying, “America wants to verify the final destinations of its dollar, and this is its legitimate right.” He stressed that “there is no American request to dissolve the Popular Mobilization Forces permanently.”

The first article was titled “BAGHDAD IS OFFICIALLY OUTSIDE THE “AXIS OF RESISTANCE”…AND THE US WANTS “ZERO IRAN” IN IRAQ” from my 03/25 Newsletter.

Abdul Mahdi arranges the deportation of the Houthis, and the factions remain silent.

Baghdad is working on “three lines” to avoid potential Israeli strikes, according to the Iraqi Foreign Ministry. An Iraqi politician reveals the content of “non-negotiable” American messages sent to Baghdad, including cutting off funding to the Houthis.

Parliament is expected to begin preparations for the “dissolution of the factions” in a session on Monday, which will discuss the “restructuring of the Popular Mobilization Forces.” The “restructuring” includes a confirmation of a previous decision taken six years ago, stipulating the separation of “the Popular Mobilization Forces from any political entity,” making it a more clearly state-affiliated institution.

Take a peak at one of today’s article titled “IRAQ AND THE APPEASEMENT STRATEGY: A DIFFICULT BALANCE IN TIMES OF PRESSURE”. What does it say about this subject matter? Yes, it says the same. The US is using pressure on Iraq to get rid of these Iranian forces occupying Iraq.

Then there was the next article titled “AN ECONOMIST DETAILS POTENTIAL US PUNITIVE MEASURES AGAINST IRAQ.” and so what did it say.

Economics professor Saleh Rashid confirmed on Wednesday (March 26, 2025) that America is trying, through its current economic war, to use all the punitive means at its disposal through its large financial and economic infrastructure, indicating that Washington has many cards to play in the Iraqi scene.

Rashid told Baghdad Today,  He added that “Washington is facing a different formulation of economic warfare, employing all the punitive means at its disposal through its extensive financial and economic infrastructure,” noting that “Washington has many cards at its disposal in the Iraqi arena, including sanctions on banks and the flow of funds. Consequently, we may witness an attempt to narrow economic paths, which will inflame the Iraqi street and put direct pressure on the Iraqi government.”

So do you think now the US does or doesn’t want the dissolution of these factions (Iranian Popular Mobilization Forces) from Iraq? You decide but I believe “absolutely”! In fact I believe so strongly that the RV WILL NOT happen as long as they are still present in Iraq. Remember the US must signoff on the RV.

______________________

What else is in the recent news?

A Contradiction:

Let’s take a look at this first news article titled “AL-SUDANI: WE HAVE CONTROLLED THE SALE OF DOLLARS AND ARE WORKING TO REFORM THE BANKING SYSTEM.” Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed the government’s control  over dollar sales, and that financial transfers are conducted in accordance with internationally recognized procedures.

Then just a day later this article comes out titled “TALKING ABOUT $2 BILLION MISSING AND A CATASTROPHIC SITUATION, A DEPUTY CONFIRMS THE CONTINUED SMUGGLING OF DOLLARS THROUGH “NEW METHODS.” Parliamentarian and member of the parliamentary economic committee, Sipan Shirwani, confirmed that billions of dollars are lost in government bank accounts, pointing to “a new way to smuggle US currency to sanctioned countries.” 

Does this seem strange to anyone that these two articles can contradict each other so much. So which is it? Does Iraq really have control over the dollar?

_____________________________

Then finally the major news of this period…

I always say to just let time pass and the pieces to the puzzle for the Iraqi RV saga will come to light and so this past weekend this picture is becoming clearer and clearer as we just learned more. Let’s review this now.

Let’s all first take peek in to the article titled “RAFIDAIN BANK CEO: THE BANK IS AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW PHASE WITH GREATER INFLUENCE ON THE IRAQI FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE.” What is it telling us? This was not the first article on this subject matter of banking reforms for Rafidain Bank. However, there is news of the new “First Rafidain Bank” and this bank I believe is going to handle the bulk of money from investors for the “Development Road” project. If we connect the dots, we can now more clearly see what they are doing. The CBI is setting in motion the process to protect and safeguard investor’s money from the corruption schemes of money laundering. This is why the entirely new bank (First Rafidain Bank). The digital dinar is going to play a pivotal role in this transformation of the banking sector along with the “First Rafidain Bank Heck we just read today that billions had been money laundered through new creative ways. So, this is why I believe the digital dinar is so important. I had to give the investors a reassurance of their funds in Iraqi banks.

I quote from the article “Rafidain Bank General Manager Ali Al-Fatlawi announced that “the bank is at the beginning of a new phase, one that is more advanced and influential in the Iraqi financial landscape.”

You might also want to take a peak at these other articles titled:

😊“RAFIDAIN BANK GENERAL MANAGER: FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY IS THE FUTURE OF THE BANKING SECTOR IN IRAQ.”

Rafidain Bank’s General Manager, Ali Al-Fatlawi, confirmed that the bank has witnessed a qualitative transformation in recent years, becoming a pillar of the modern Iraqi banking sector through adopting financial technology, enhancing banking inclusion, and adhering to international standards of integrity and compliance.

(Remember all the articles about the digital dinar? This is what they are going to use to transfer funds for imports and exports abroad. No more dollar only SAFE dinars. This is also what will introduce dinars to the international community. They will have to launch FOREX at this time. They will have no choice.)

😊“CENTRAL BANK: WE WILL LAUNCH A MAJOR INITIATIVE TO FINANCE INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS”

The Central Bank of Iraq announced on Sunday its intention to launch a major initiative to finance industrial projects in cooperation with the Trade Bank of Iraq and the Industrial Bank.

Are you HAPPY yet!

______________________________________________

These prophecies 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 this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. 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 more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.

God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.

These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do 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.

From God to the PROPHET:  Julie Green

“ Brace For The Fallout of The Big Lie of 2020 Will Bring “      

Prophecy begins at the 17:32 mark.  First of 5 prophecies given this past weekend.   I will try to get all 5 of these very explosive prophecies to you this week.        

It appears the exposure of the big lie from the 2020 election is now about to come out. Julie has talked about his many times, but not in this intensity. If you think you know it all already, God is going to exposure much, much more of just what happened and how they did it.

_______________________________________

PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.

____________________________________

HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?

Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.

Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.

Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.

This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9^th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

Please try to remember to pray each and every day. In Hebrews 11:6, it underscores this principle of why we pray: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

It is LENT time for us Catholics. Praying the rosaries for me is my way to pray and has had a significant impact on my life and focus during this Easter season. I find it is good to remember the Stations of the Cross during lent and what our savior did for us. In know many of you may not be Catholics or even Christians but try to take a different approach this Easter. Try to see what all the fuss is about Christ. Put yourself in Christ shoes (or should I say sandals) as an ordinary person in today’s world. You can quickly see that the nature of man has not changed very much and if Christ were born today, many would probably try to crucify him. Have we not learned anything?

AL-SUDANI: WE HAVE CONTROLLED THE SALE OF DOLLARS AND ARE WORKING TO REFORM THE BANKING SYSTEM.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed the government’s control  over dollar sales, and that financial transfers are conducted in accordance with internationally recognized procedures.

During a televised interview broadcast on Al-Sa’a Network, Al-Sudani stated that “the government has contracted with reputable international companies to reform the private banking sector.”

He added that “the Iraqi banking system operates transparently in accordance with international standards,” stressing that “we have reached the final stages of establishing the first Rafidain Bank, to develop the banking system and achieve development.”

***************************************************************************************************

TALKING ABOUT $2 BILLION MISSING AND A CATASTROPHIC SITUATION, A DEPUTY CONFIRMS THE CONTINUED SMUGGLING OF DOLLARS THROUGH “NEW METHODS.

Parliamentarian and member of the parliamentary economic committee, Sipan Shirwani, confirmed that billions of dollars are lost in government bank accounts, pointing to “a new way to smuggle US currency to sanctioned countries.” 

“According to the reviews we conducted on the banks in the past period, we found a catastrophic situation in which Iraqi banks are operating, including those affiliated with the Ministry of Finance,” Sherwani said in an exclusive interview with Al-Jabal platform on Thursday. “When you look at the expenditures, you find billions of dollars in corruption cases,” he added, noting that “the numbers are beyond the range of expectations, and there is no oversight of these amounts.”

Sherwani stated that “in one case at the Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI), two billion dollars are missing, and in another case, two trillion dinars were given as loans to the people, and nothing was returned. This reflects negligence on the part of the bank itself and the Ministry of Finance.” He pointed out that “if there was no collusion between these parties, there is certainly a reason for the failure to return these funds. This proves the failure of the bank and the authorities responsible for managing the people’s money.”

At the same time, Shirwani added, “The smuggling of dollars abroad is continuing, and smugglers have found a way to smuggle the currency to neighboring countries and from neighboring countries to countries subject to US sanctions,” stressing that “this is documented.”

The parliamentarian said, “We see astronomical amounts of Iraq’s financial resources being squandered, left unattended, and these sums are public funds deposited by the ministry in these banks for citizens to benefit from in various projects.” He added, “These funds are being given to specific entities without revealing the identity or private information of those entities, and they are not returned.”

According to Sherwani, “There are banks that have lost an estimated two billion US dollars due to non-performing loans, and in other banks, the amount of lost funds has reached one billion dollars, or trillions of Iraqi dinars,” indicating that they “were granted to private entities, individuals, and companies.”

The MP had previously held a press conference at the Parliament’s press center regarding the “failure of the Ministry of Finance and government banks to manage state funds.” He said that “in the absence of accurate oversight, billions of dollars have been lost in government banks without any real accountability, which raises questions about the management of these financial institutions.” He pointed out that “Rafidain Bank has not been audited for more than nine years, in clear violation of transparency and accountability standards.”

He added that “TBAB has not been audited for four years, despite the volume of financial transactions it conducts,” stressing that “there are two trillion dinars in unrecovered loans at the bank, which constitutes a continuous financial drain. Financial obligations are converted from dinars to dollars, then sent to other countries and then smuggled to countries subject to sanctions. What raises suspicions about dollar smuggling operations is the disappearance of two billion dollars when it was received from Hamdia Al-Jaf at TBI.”

Sherwani pointed out that “TBI’s smart cards are ineffective outside Iraq, which requires an official explanation for this disruption. Obtaining loan funds in dinars instead of dollars leads to price differences of up to 10% between the official rate and the parallel rate, causing losses to the state treasury.”

To protect public funds and recover defaulted loans, the MP confirmed, “We contacted the Ministry of Finance and the relevant banks to obtain the required data, but TBI Bank refused to provide us with the information under the pretext of account confidentiality, ignoring its responsibility to protect citizens’ funds instead of covering up suspicions of corruption. The Ministry of Finance and Rafidain Bank refrained from responding to our official communications despite repeated confirmations.” He stressed, “Based on this, and in accordance with Law No. 15 of the Council of Representatives and its formations, we will resort to the necessary legal measures and refer the entire file to the Integrity Commission, the Financial Supervision Bureau, the judiciary, and the Public Prosecution to ensure accountability and recover state funds.”

**************************************************************************************************

AL-SUDANI: RESTRICTIONS ARE USEFUL, AND I ASKED THE AMERICANS ABOUT THEIR SILENCE ON THE DOLLAR CHAOS BEFORE ME!

Answered about selling 300 million daily

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani asserted that US sanctions were the best way to eliminate “rogue shops” and that the punitive measures imposed on Iraqi banks were a result of the previous government’s failure to fulfill its commitments to the US.

He also said that the Treasury described the progress in reforming the banking system as “the revolution we dreamed of.” During a lengthy interview, al-Sudani justified the increase in the Central Bank’s dollar sales by the acceleration of construction activity and the import of building materials. He also promised to launch a reform plan to correct the banking sector, which is “the most important in Iraq’s history.”

Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, during an interview with journalist Samer Jawad:

There is an exaggeration of the problems facing Iraq, even though countries face many similar challenges, even on the security level. During the ISIS crisis, they said that Iraq was finished, and on the economic level, they said that the economy was finished, but things later proceeded normally.

After assuming the premiership, I faced the issue of the agreements between the previous government, the Treasury, and the US Federal Reserve, which were two years old at the time, regarding a roadmap for Iraq to enter the global financial compliance circle. However, the previous government did not implement any of them, and the deadline expired at the beginning of my government.

My government was able to transform the challenge and commitment to the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve into an opportunity to reform the Iraqi financial and banking system. This came at a social and political cost, which our opponents exploited. However, we leveraged the issue to end the anomalous situation of dollar-selling shops, which we all complained about, and we were able to implement the imposed obligations.

The sanctioned banks were sanctioned for violations committed during the previous government’s term. The sanctions imposed by international institutions were related to that period, but there are no violations in this regard now.

We have been able to implement the standards, and now the Iraqi banking system operates transparently, in accordance with international compliance standards and certified by international institutions. During my last visit to New York, the US Treasury representative informed us that Iraq has achieved a revolution we had dreamed of in previous periods. International compliance standards have been applied to all Iraqi financial transfers, via correspondent banks and the US audit firm. Not a single dollar is spent without passing through these bodies.

The only cash dollars exchanged are for travelers, and are spent at the plane door. Therefore, not a single dollar is exchanged outside of improper transactions and procedures. The Central Bank’s increased dollar sales have a different interpretation related to construction and development in the country, unlike what used to happen in the days when the process was conducted through receipts and chaos. Thirty percent of the value of our annual imports goes to construction materials, and this reflects the scale of construction and development.

The Iraqi banking system has reached such a level of reliability that international banks have begun opening credit lines here. We have contracted with Oliver Wyman to reform the private banking system, and we will launch the reform plan after Eid. It will be the most important plan since the founding of the Iraqi state. The government banking sector will be reformed under the supervision of Ernst & Young.

*****************************************************************************************************

AL-SUDANI: THERE IS NO AMERICAN REQUEST TO PERMANENTLY DISSOLVE THE POPULAR MOBILIZATION FORCES, AND IRAQ’S ACCOUNT IN THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS NOT SUBJECT TO GUARDIANSHIP.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed that the US Treasury informed him that Iraq’s progress on the dollar issue “represents a revolution we’ve been dreaming of,” announcing the imminent launch of the most important plan to reform the private banking sector in the country’s history.

Al-Sudani said in a press statement that “Iraq’s account with the US Federal Reserve is now under the control of the government and is not subject to Washington’s tutelage.” He explained that he responded to questions about the United States’ silence over the past 20 years by saying, “America wants to verify the final destinations of its dollar, and this is its legitimate right.” He stressed that “there is no American request to dissolve the Popular Mobilization Forces permanently.”

The Prime Minister indicated that his government has no regrets about the one million job positions included in the three-year budget, stressing that this decision stems from the government’s commitment to addressing accumulated structural and social problems.

Regarding the industrial sector, Al-Sudani revealed that products from 54 Iraqi factories are being exported to foreign markets, indicating that this step reflects a significant development in enhancing national production capabilities.

In the energy sector, Al-Sudani announced an increase in electricity production from 19,000 to 27,000 megawatts, stressing that these efforts are part of the government’s strategy to improve services and meet citizens’ needs.

IRAQ AND THE APPEASEMENT STRATEGY: A DIFFICULT BALANCE IN TIMES OF PRESSURE

Iraq has recently faced a significant escalation in US economic and financial pressure, primarily targeting dollar transactions and Iranian gas imports, along with repeated demands regarding the future of the Popular Mobilization Forces. These pressures come as part of Washington’s efforts to isolate Iraq economically from Iran, with the aim of strengthening the effectiveness of sanctions imposed on Tehran to force it to reassess its nuclear program.

However, this policy presents Iraq with complex challenges as it attempts to maintain a delicate balance in its foreign relations.

Recent reports indicate that the United States has refused to renew the waivers that allowed Iraq to import gas and electricity from Iran. This was confirmed by Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein on March 19, 2025, who noted that Washington described the decision as “irreversible.”

This decision threatens to exacerbate the energy crisis in Iraq, which relies heavily on Iranian gas to power its power plants. Imported gas accounts for approximately 40% of the country’s total energy needs, according to estimates from the Iraqi Parliament’s Oil and Gas Committee.

On the financial front, the United States is seeking to restrict dollar transactions in Iraq to prevent its smuggling to Iran, which is suffering from massive economic pressures due to sanctions. According to a report, Washington believes that cutting off these financial arteries will directly weaken Tehran, thus strengthening the impact of the sanctions.

But this approach places the Iraqi government in a difficult position, as Iraq holds financial reserves exceeding $100 billion in the United States, making it dependent on Washington’s goodwill to access its oil revenues.

(This is why the U.S. won’t transfer the remaining DFI funds to Iraq and keep renewing exec order 13303. See it now?)

Separately, statements by the Iranian ambassador to Baghdad, Mohammed Kazem Al-Sadiq, on March 27, 2025, sparked widespread controversy when he said that US President Donald Trump’s letter to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei included a request to dissolve the Popular Mobilization Forces and other armed factions.

However, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani quickly denied any direct US request in this regard, stressing that any decision to dissolve the factions is linked to the end of the international coalition’s presence in Iraq.

For his part, MP Alaa Al-Haidari defended the Popular Mobilization Forces Law, considering it an internal matter aimed at honoring those who sacrificed for the nation.

The Iraqi government is adopting a strategy of appeasement in its foreign policy, attempting to maintain a balance between the United States and Iran, two of its historical allies. However, this approach faces increasing challenges, especially with mounting US pressure to end economic and military coordination with Tehran. Analysts believe that Washington also aims to “undermine the unity of the arenas,” the strategy Iran uses to connect its fronts in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.

Economically, Iraq is paying the price for its heavy reliance on Iran for energy. Iraqi lawmakers have called for exploring alternatives, such as Qatar and Turkey, for gas imports. However, this step requires huge investments and a long-time frame, both of which may be unavailable given the current crisis. Conversely, experts believe that economic decoupling between Baghdad and Tehran could increase pressure on Iran, but it could also cause internal unrest in Iraq, especially if the electricity crisis worsens.

IRAQ PREPARES FOR THE LARGEST LEAP IN ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION: HISTORIC CONTRACTS WITH GE AND SIEMENS AND PLANS TO COMPENSATE FOR GAS SHORTAGES.

Minister of Electricity Ziyad Fadhil revealed on Friday that Iraq is about to sign two historic contracts with the American company General Electric and the German company Siemens to boost electricity production. The first contract will provide 24,000 megawatts, while the second will add 10,000 megawatts to the national grid.

The minister confirmed in a statement received by Al Furat News that “the issue of importing Iranian gas has not yet been resolved, explaining that the ministry has not received any official notification of the suspension of supplies, while discussions on the matter are still ongoing.” 

In the face of any potential gas supply shortage, Fadel noted that “the government has alternative plans, including the use of kerosene, taking advantage of electricity interconnection projects with neighboring countries, solar power plants, combined-cycle units that do not require fuel, and the establishment of a floating gas platform at the port to enhance energy sources.” 

The minister noted that “the ministry is currently implementing the largest campaign to resolve power grid bottlenecks in all governorates, by upgrading and creating new lines and installing transformer stations, with the goal of achieving greater stability in supply hours.” 

Regarding warnings of an electricity crisis next summer, Fadel confirmed that “there is an exaggerated hype,” emphasizing that the government is well aware of the challenges and has clear plans to address them and ensure stable electricity supply in the coming months.

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE: POLITICAL DISAGREEMENTS OBSTRUCT PASSAGE OF OIL AND GAS LAW

The House of Representatives’ Oil, Gas, and Natural Resources Committee acknowledged on Sunday that political differences are impeding the passage of the oil and gas law, stressing that consensus between Baghdad and Erbil is a prerequisite for its passage.

Committee member Bassem Al-Gharibawi told Al-Maalouma News Agency that “disagreements between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region are hindering the passage of the law in parliament.”

He pointed out that “political ambiguity remains an obstacle to resolving the issue during the current parliamentary session.” He pointed out that “the law is considered controversial legislation, and it can only be passed with political consensus among all parties.”

************************************************************************************************

CENTRAL BANK: WE WILL LAUNCH A MAJOR INITIATIVE TO FINANCE INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS

The Central Bank of Iraq announced on Sunday its intention to launch a major initiative to finance industrial projects in cooperation with the Trade Bank of Iraq and the Industrial Bank.

“We are currently making arrangements to finance major industrial projects through coordination between the Trade Bank of Iraq and the Industrial Bank. This will be done by utilizing the liquidity available at the Trade Bank of Iraq and recycling this money in the Industrial Bank to launch a major initiative to finance industrial projects in Iraq, which will soon see the light of day,” Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq told the National News Agency, as reported by Kalamah News.

He added, “This initiative was recently proposed by the Cabinet as part of the government’s banking sector reform program and government measures with the Central Bank,” noting that “the Cabinet agreed to cooperate between government banks with a financial surplus to finance a package of industrial projects through the Industrial Bank.”

He explained that “all other projects are funded according to their sectoral channels, as part of the government’s general approach to supporting industrial, agricultural, housing, education, health, investment, and other projects.”

(WOW! WOW! WOW! This is going to get us the reinstatement. Are you listening? Please go to my RV Status commentary in todays Newsletter to understand why I am saying this. Please also read the next article about Rafidain Bank initiatives. 😊 😊 😊 Hang in just a little while longer. The RV is coming! )

************************************************************************************************

RAFIDAIN BANK CEO: THE BANK IS AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW PHASE WITH GREATER INFLUENCE ON THE IRAQI FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE.

Rafidain Bank General Manager Ali Al-Fatlawi announced that “the bank is at the beginning of a new phase, one that is more advanced and influential in the Iraqi financial landscape.”

Al-Fatlawi said in a press statement, “The bank has witnessed a qualitative transformation in recent years, becoming a pillar of the modern Iraqi banking sector.”

He explained, “We have contracted with the American University of Baghdad to implement advanced programs in banking management, financial risks, and compliance,” noting that “advanced systems have been adopted to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, including the UN-backed GoAML system.”

Al-Fatlawi continued, “We launched a team dedicated to developing banking initiatives and contributed to settling electronic payment revenues for most government departments.”

He added, “We launched electronic payment services that made it easier for employees and retirees to receive their benefits. We aspire to make Rafidain Bank a model of banking leadership in Iraq and the region.”

*************************************************************************************************

RAFIDAIN BANK GENERAL MANAGER: FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY IS THE FUTURE OF THE BANKING SECTOR IN IRAQ.

Rafidain Bank’s General Manager, Ali Al-Fatlawi, confirmed that the bank has witnessed a qualitative transformation in recent years, becoming a pillar of the modern Iraqi banking sector through adopting financial technology, enhancing banking inclusion, and adhering to international standards of integrity and compliance.

Al-Fatlawi said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and reviewed by “Al-Eqtisad News,” that the success was not merely the result of administrative decisions, but rather an integrated vision based on investing in human capital, building strategic partnerships, and upgrading banking services in accordance with the latest international standards.

Al-Fatlawi believes that no financial institution can achieve success and sustainability without qualified personnel possessing modern skills. Therefore, investing in the development of the bank’s employees was one of our main priorities. We allocated large budgets for training, sent our staff to educational programs inside and outside Iraq, and contracted with the American University in Baghdad to implement advanced programs in banking management, financial risks, and compliance.

The General Manager of Rafidain Bank added that enhancing financial integrity was a priority, and we adopted advanced systems to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, including the UN-supported GoAML system, and cooperated with the global company K2 to develop compliance systems. He indicated that these steps strengthened the confidence of international regulatory and banking authorities in the bank and contributed to improving our position in the financial market.

He pointed out that financial inclusion is not an option, but an economic necessity. Therefore, we launched a team specialized in developing banking initiatives and contributed to the settlement of electronic payment revenues for most government departments, which reduced reliance on cash. We also launched electronic payment services that facilitated the easy collection of dues for employees and retirees.

He announced the launch of the ATM service for the first time, and the introduction of a savings card as a new service to enable customers to invest their money intelligently. We are also in the process of issuing a credit card, which will facilitate financial transactions inside and outside Iraq, placing us among the ranks of digitally advanced banks.

The General Manager of Rafidain Bank pointed to the establishment of partnerships with global institutions such as Ernst & Young (EY) to develop banking governance, and with K2 Global to enhance financial compliance, noting that these partnerships have increased the efficiency of our operations and made us more compliant with international banking standards.

He explained that Rafidain Bank is at the beginning of a new, more advanced and influential phase in the Iraqi financial landscape, as we continue to launch digital services, enhance financial inclusion, and expand our international partnerships. He indicated that we aspire to make Rafidain Bank a model of banking leadership in Iraq and the region.

ABOUT THE NEWSLETTER:

March 27, 2025 Mnt Goat News Brief

Guten Tag everyone: I have some excellent good news for you today.

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.

Since 2013, I have taken my own time from my gasthaus business to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to spend my time doing all this. My time is hard to find, as I have to hold down two formal jobs already due to COVID just to keep the business going. So, I do it out of charity and love with the understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. As I am saying this take time and is like a third job.

I recommend $10 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write eight (8) Newsletters every month. I have to investigate the news and try to pull out the FACTS, then pull off the articles from Iraqi news channels, translate them, talk to my contact in Iraq and then write and publish the Newsletter. Do you think perhaps a little gift might show some appreciation for all this hard work? Just asking…. Still only a hand full of readers help out each month. Enough said….. The future of the Newsletter depends upon you.

 Let’s all try to chip in!

STATUS OF THE RV

As we are about to round the corner into April, let me emphasis one more time that these RV intel gurus are playing head games with many of their followers. This prejudices them when they come to my blog to read about the FACTS. The FACTS don’t sell subscriptions or get people interested in listening. Why? It’s because the FACTS are contrary to the lies being put out. You all heard the lies:

• The rate is in the budget
• If we could just get the budget tables, the RV would happen
• Lower denominations are out in Kurdistan (said years ago)
• We are going to the bank prior to the new rate on FOREX coming out (like we investors are going to get some special exchange privileges? Really?)
• Etc., etc., etc.

So today, all I can tell you again is let’s look at yet more of the FACTS to see just what state Iraq is in and where they are going in the near future. I am not going to lie to you.

Iraq has made tremendous strides in all areas since January 2023. Folks I cannot change reality but I can give you HOPE. I know the reality of the situation in Iraq may not very popular with us investors because the RV is not happening, but if you just stick to the FACTS and stop listening to this garbage from people like TNT Tony, Bruce (big stupid call), Frank26, MarkZ and many other idiots, you might learn something and begin to realize that Iraq is truly on its way to a renaissance beyond your imagination. Then take what the prophets keep telling us and you can clearly see that there is huge prosperity and abundance coming to us beyond our wildest dreams. God is telling us to just settle down, relax and he will bring it to us all on His time and His terms. Then knowing this, pay attention to what is going on and the breakthroughs with corruption and all it’s exposure.

Breakthrough with the IQD:

😊I need everyone to go to my Articles Section today and read the entire article titled “AL-NUSAIRI: 2025 INDICATORS: A STRONG ECONOMY, A RECOVERING DINAR, AND DEVELOPING BANKS.” Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi confirmed that his predictions, made in previous articles and statements, that our economic indicators in 2025 herald a strong and robust economy based on the availability of foreign currency reserves exceeding $108 billion and 163 tons of gold, sufficient to cover imports for 18 months. Al-Nusairi also said in an interview with Al-Eqtisad News that the local currency issued amounted to approximately 100 trillion dinars, and our dinar is recovering and gradually returning towards an exchange rate against the US dollar towards the equilibrium price targeted by the Central Bank.

So, let’s hold our proverbial horses and not go off with a half-cocked reaction to Al-Nusairo’s statements in the article of today. Lets’ pay close attention to the words he said. He said “gradual” which is exactly what I keep emphasizing on my blog. He did not say tomorrow or next week. He merely said “gradual” and so when it happens, it happens.

Then he talks about an “equilibrium” price that is being targeted by the CBI. Operative words are “equilibrium” and “targeted”. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy is this not what my CBI contact has been telling us all along? She said that the parallel market must be cracked to drive down the informal price of the dollar to the “official” CBI rate. Appears to me they are cracking the parallel market. I told everyone this will not happen overnight and will take weeks to materialize once the U.S. ends sending paper cash to Iraq. This means that the dinar, as it is still pegged to the dollar, will also “gradually” go up in rate. So, what is this “equilibrium” price exactly they are targeting?

The CBI is not going to divulge this target rate to us but we do know they told us it is at the “official” rate or very close to it. Then we were told when this happens this will trigger the Project to Delete the Zeros and so on and so forth. Again, the word “trigger”.

Remember that I was worried when I heard all this recent news about the decision by the CBI to go forward with their digital dinar. Would they still conduct the Project to Delete the Zeros? Would Iraq still have a paper currency? What would happen to our dinar that we hold? Should we have been worried? I then listened to the news going forward from that week and we then learned the answers to these important questions. But what happened was I took my time, relaxed and kept listening to the news. I did not go off half-cocked. No knee-Jerk reaction. The FACTS will always eventually surface. There is no need to lie about the future. They will tell us.

Yes, much of the news is delayed as many times it already happened by the time when we get it. What is wrong with this method of distributing the news? Even though it is untimely, we can still put the picture of the puzzle together to see where they are going and how they plan to get there.

Good News – Let’s look at some of the other very recent articles in the news from Iraq:

😊“AL-SUDANI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING A STATE OF RECOVERY, GROWTH, PROGRESS, AND PROSPERITY.” :  

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress, and prosperity, and that we are working to advance this process. He emphasized that establishing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects. Did he say establishing “security and stability” ? Oh boy I have heard these terms many times already. Do you believe it yet?

😊“AL-MANDLAWI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING STABILITY AND HAS AN ATTRACTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR INVESTMENTS.” :

 

First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Mohsen al-Mandalawi affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is interested in developing its relations with its brothers, neighbors, and friends. He also stated that Iraq invites reputable companies to invest in Iraq and benefit from its internal stability and attractive environment.

The consulting firms EY and Oliver Wyman reviewed plans to reform and upgrade the public and private banking sectors in line with international standards and facilitate the integration of Iraqi banks into the international financial network. 

😊“GEOPOLITICAL FLUCTUATIONS AND OIL MARKETS: HOW CAN IRAQ PROTECT ITS ECONOMY FROM SHOCKS?” :

 

The Iraqi economy: financial hedging and relative stability

Despite global challenges, Salih affirmed that Iraq’s financial situation is stable, with the first quarter of 2025 drawing to a close without any financial disruptions. The country’s fiscal policy is also operating with high discipline, ensuring the provision of salaries, pensions, and social welfare, in addition to the continued implementation of service projects according to the government’s program.

Finally, is Iraq heading towards financial stability?

While the world experiences severe volatility in oil markets, Iraq’s fiscal policy appears to be moving steadily toward hedging and stability, while ensuring the sustainability of public revenues. As the three-year budget continues, the question remains: Will Iraq remain immune to the coming economic storms, or will geopolitical challenges impose a new reality on global oil markets?

Now that we had all this good news, let’s look at the other side. The side that still has to be dealt with. The negative side of Iraq. We can’t deny reality and these issues still linger with Iran and corruption. Remember Iraq is in the middle east, still a very volatile area of the world. Iraq has been a “bad boy” in the past and we all witnessed the corruption and money laundering over these past two decades. The fact is this is why they still sit today without a normalized currency. They can’t escape this reality and even though they are making strides in the right direction, a very conscious effort to rehabilitate themselves, there are still lingering consequences to face from the past. The news from Iraq has told us many times  in the past that the U.S. is using economic warfare to mold Iraq to their bidding. Do you believe the RV is going to happen while this attitude towards Iraq prevails? When will this U.S. attitude change?

If you read the full articles below you can see that we can also interpret this news as good news for Iraq too since the U.S. is finally taking serous interest in Iraq with good intentions to help it. But Iraq does not know what is best for itself, at least this is the “conquers” attitude still towards Iraq. I am talking mostly about the Iraq sovereignty. When will they truly regain their full sovereignty again?

Let’s now look at the other side of the equation in the recent news from Iraq:

☹“AN ECONOMIST DETAILS POTENTIAL US PUNITIVE MEASURES AGAINST IRAQ.” :

Economics professor Saleh Rashid confirmed on Wednesday (March 26, 2025) that America is trying, through its current economic war, to use all the punitive means at its disposal through its large financial and economic infrastructure, indicating that Washington has many cards to play in the Iraqi scene.

☹“MP: AMERICA HAS NO OTHER MEANS OF PRESSURING IRAQ THAN ECONOMIC MEANS.” :

 

Member of Parliament Amer Hussein confirmed on Wednesday that America has no other cards than the economic card and financial pressures to confront Iraq with in order to exert pressure and achieve its goals. Hussein told / Al-Maalouma /, “America has no other cards than the economic cards against Iraq if it wants to tighten the noose on the country, such that it will move towards restricting the movement of Iraqi funds held in American banks.”
 

😊 If you take the time to read the article titled “PM’S ADVISOR: IRAQ’S OIL EXPORTS TO THE US INCREASED BY 110% IN TWO YEARS” you will soon learn that the situation is much, much different than in the Dr Shabibi days.I mean much better is a much better way…lol..lol.. So why is the dinar then still being suppressed? In other articles today we learned why. The reinstatement of the dinar is called “leverage” the U.S. has over Iraq. When will the finally let it go? Let’s look at the details of this situation in this article today. The economic situation in Iraq is hardly about to crash.

The Prime Minister’s Financial Advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed that Iraq’s oil exports to the United States have increased by more than 110% in two years.

Salih told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States extends to many diverse investment, trade, and economic fields. Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States has witnessed remarkable developments in recent years.” He noted that “the volume of trade between the two countries has more than doubled over the past two years, with Iraq’s oil exports to the United States increasing by more than 110%, and Iraq’s imports from the United States increasing significantly over the past two years, with the value of this trade ranging between $9 and $10 billion.”

He explained that “Iraq’s imports were primarily in automobiles, transportation equipment, and engineering and electrical equipment. However, the trade balance remained in Iraq’s favor, with a difference of $5.7 billion, reflecting the continued superiority of Iraqi exports to the United States, particularly in the crude oil sector.”

So, you see even some articles don’t tell the entire story if you don’t read all the news and stop skipping over many of these juicy ones. All I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW! But I assure you there is going to come a time when this game is all over and it will be Iraq who will have the upper hand and all the leverage and not the U.S.

☹“SOURCE: IRAN-US NEGOTIATIONS TO BE HELD IN THE UAE AFTER NOWRUZ HOLIDAY” :

A media activist close to Iranian political officials revealed on Tuesday (March 25, 2025) that “the indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington will turn into direct negotiations in the coming days in Abu Dhabi.” The informed media source added, speaking to Baghdad Today, that “negotiations will resume in Abu Dhabi, and this is a step toward achieving further calm.”

I put these articles down as a negative only because of the issue with Iran and its influence over Iraq must settled. These left-over Iranian militias (Nori Al-Maliki’s Mobilization Forces) must be dealt with. Nori Al-Maliki too must be dealt a blow of justice for what he did to Iraq. When will this happen? Remember it was under his watch that ISIS was allowed to come into Iraq. Also under his watch he let the US prematurely withdraw its troops from Iraq. It was under his watch that the corruption and money laundering to Iran began. These networks with the currency auctions began.

What can the CBI do to gain liquidity in the banks?

☹Before discussing this question, you should first go read the article titled “EMPLOYEES WITHDRAW 8 TRILLION DINARS FROM BANKS IN TWO HOURS.. THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE SEEKS A SOLUTION.”

I quote from the article “Employee and retiree salaries, which amount to approximately 8 trillion dinars, are now paid electronically, but they are withdrawn within two hours, immediately emptying all banks. This must be addressed.”

Apparently, the CBI has NOT yet overcome the liquidity issue of stashes of cash outside the banking system.

There are two issues here to discuss with the Iraqi banking system:

First the article is telling us there is a crisis of confidence despite the electronic system that was put in place. Let me explain. The CBI put in place automatic electronic deposit for employees and retiree’s salaries. This done was to encourage this money to stay within the banks, while the employees use the ATMs just for small petty cash withdrawals. Thus also the strategy of all the ATMs throughout Iraq. This strategy was hoped would provide the bulk of the money to stay within the banks for loans and to thus allow the banks create banking products to turnover the methods of profit revenues for banks away from almost solely the currency auction spreads of the past. But what just happened with this last payroll cycle?

Secondly, remember the currency auctions are gone, so how will the banks make their money if not through other creative banking products? This is the second issue.

As the article title states, almost the entire payroll was withdrawn from the banks in 2 hours. WOW! WOW! WOW! So, do you think the CBI plans for liquidity in the banks is working? Just asking because many of you are still in denial of what is really happening in Iraq and the obstacles they face to be overcome. Why would they reinstate the dinar at a time like this?

I don’t want to sound negative, however when this happens this does not look good for the Iraqi banking system. Seems to me they still have a problem with these large stashes of cash outside the system. Do you see now why they may very well decide even to go “ALL” digital dinar in the near future. This of course would require much more infrastructure including wide use of advanced cell phones, digital wallets and other Point of Sale machines. I will add that maybe, just maybe the real issue is the value of the dinar over the dollar? Will raising the value of the dinar over the dollar force this change to occur. Maybe more strict limits too of how much money can be withdrawn in a period might help. Also maybe more incentives like higher interest rate or promo products might also help to keep the money in the banks.

Clarity of blog comments

Comment from John Tanner:

Mountain Goat, greetings, I’m sorry but in my opinion you’re a little bit off track about the digital currency aspect and how its unfolding. this is not needed for the RV and not needed to clamp down on Iranian corruption in Iraq. if you’re contact is saying this, she is just not being accurate in her assessment in my opinion

Reply Mnt Goat:

Guten Tag John. I need to clarify what you commented on in my blog. I do not understand the comments made. You show me anywhere in my Newsletters where I told my readers that the digital currency is needed for the RV or to fight Iran? Who told you this? Obviously, you are listening to these other intel gurus again and confused. I only report on the FACTS and I show articles and conversations with my CBI contact to back it all up. I recommend you take another look at my 03/25 Newsletter and read it a couple times to sink in.

Comment from Wader59:

From what I have seen here is that certain criteria needed to be met in order to get the RV. Once that criteria were met, they changed the criteria. None of these articles now show a real progress toward our ultimate goal of the RV. They only show the changes Iraq is experiencing. All countries go through similar changes. I am very confused now about what to anticipate. I see no light at the end of the tunnel.

Reply Mnt Goat:

Guten Tag Wader59. I just want to clarify your comment to the blog. So, for one more time, read my lips – THERE IS NO SET CRITERIA NECESSARY TO GET THE RV. Get it? How many times have I said in my blog to stop focusing on a series or a single event that will trigger the RV. You have more brains than that…don’t you? Yes, the articles show the changes that Iraq is going through. Yes, all countries coming out of a war situation, like what they did to Iraq show these changes. The problem in Iraq is that it’s been 20 years already and the past Obama/Biden administrations put such tight criteria on Iraq then they essentially tied their hands of any making any real progress, the same progress they told them they needed to make to move ahead. It is now an uphill battle to make progress. They needed the reinstatement to do exactly what they told them to do, but they held back the reinstatement as a carrot to force them to make the changes in their economy. So what comes first the chicken or the egg? These changes could have gone rapidly, if they had the reinstatement and their investors back online, such as what Dr Shabibi planned to do in 2013. Does this make any sense? No, it does not make any sense but that’s the way the Obama/Biden foreign policy played it. That’s been my point all along. This caused the real problems we are experiencing today in getting this RV.

So, this decades of corruption was absolutely intentional. It gave them time to funnel money to Iran and their pockets. You would think the foreign policy of the U.S. would move more aggressively to getting their currency back online.

In retrospect, just look at just these last 2 years with all the progress. Can’t you see it? This all should have been done decades ago. Why now? So, we need to look at today not yesterday – is the glass half empty or half full? You decide but mine is half full. Sounds like yours may even be empty? It’s the future culmination of all these changes that now are finally taking place that will bring the reinstatement of the dinar, which means bringing it back online to the global trading platforms.

______________________________________________

These prophecies 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 this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. 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 more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.

God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.

These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.

NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do 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.

From God to the PROPHET:  Jonny Enlow

“ Get Ready For A Momentous April For “We The People “ “     

Prophecy begins at the 12:00 mark.     

_______________________________________

Next, I just had to bring you Tuesday’s prophecy. I was so excited when I listened to it. I trust Julie since her words have been an inspiration to me as we go through this difficult journey. So, this next prophecy is a “doozie”, yes a “real” doozie! I actually heard about the fall of two Justices years ago and so now this one is coming forward again. It must be it’s time.

“The Deep State is Being Irradicated from This Nation “      

Prophecy begins at the 23:08 mark.  Prophecy from Saturday March 22^nd.

A Great Shaking is Coming to the Supreme Court:       

• U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts will be exposed, sit for his own trial and then removed from office. He will be sentenced for TREASON.
• Roberts is deeply connected to the sex trafficking world, padded his pockets in bribes by not allowing strong evidence of the 2020 election fraud to be exposed.
• Video, audio and email evidence will bring him down
• This will take place much sooner than you think
• There are other justices too that will be exposed and brought down

• Chuck Schumer you will not be a senator much longer
• Schumer will be convicted of TREASON
• Clintons will be exposed in a major way
• Democrats will have to hand over corrupt fellow Democrat and govt employees politicians for bargaining chips to save their own skin

Sorry I do not want to make this blog about bible school lessons however, in Julie Green’s prophecy today it is so obvious what God is doing. God’s hand is at work today as she states her prophetic word then reviews what is in Deuteronomy 7:20-24. From this biblical passage we can then begin to see what God is doing to clean out this nation(s) from the wicked and corrupt.

I quote from a bible passage of Deuteronomy:

“Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God. The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them.”

If you study the bible you can find out that Deuteronomy is traditionally attributed to Moses, who is believed to have delivered its teachings just before the Israelites entered the Promised Land. Composed around the end of the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, this book takes the form of speeches delivered by Moses to the Israelites. When I researched all this my jaw dropped as God is telling us we are about to enter the land of “milk and honey”. You may ask what the hell is that? You ask only because you are ignorant of the biblical Exodus story and what God promised the Israelites when they left Egypt from their enslavement.  

Of course, not literal milk and honey for us. This is metaphorically speaking. What Julie says God is telling us we are now entering the end phase of the cleanup, the end is near. Just as the Israelites wondered in the desert then finally came to their destiny, we too are coming to the end of this battle of ending the corruption in the U.S. and freeing us of taxation burden, debt and corrupt politics. We are now in the last stage of this clean up. We are about to see the prosperity and abundance (milk and honey) God has been telling us about now for over a decade is to come. God used this passage in the bible to convey more clearly to Julie and us what he meant.

Who will remain in the government when all this is done? We watch and wait to see.

What form will this prosperity and abundance come to us? We watch and wait to see.

The question many are now going to ask is when will the RV come out?

For the RV, I will only say to relax and let this drama of cleaning up the corruption all play out first in the US Government and Iraq. How many times must I tell you it is the Obama/Biden foreign policies towards Iraq and their taunting with Iran that has been the major cause of corruption in Iraq and this has caused the holdup of the reinstatement. Is Iraq ready? Of course, and they have been since 2013.

How many times have I told everyone that you can’t separate the politics from this RV saga? Many intel gurus want to ignore it and go on with their petty news of everyday /  any day lies? But followers of my blog know the TRUTH, don’t we? We have many tools at our disposal. We have prophecy, the news of the U.S. cleanup and Iraqi news itself to back up what is forecasted for the near future. We don’t have to lie or pretend. All we have to do is connect the dots. Yes, I keep saying the near future, but many of you are not listening. Hey folks, this is not going to take years. The President Trump administration has only been in office now for a little over 3 months. Look at all the exposure so far. God says this so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Give it a break. Let it  play out. God has told us, if you were listening to these Julie Green prophecies you should already know that early summer 2025 things will finally calm down. What does this mean to you?  

Folks, we must stick to the TRUTH as we are done with all the FAKE news and democrat lies. TRUTH is our weapon too to fight them.

_______________________________

PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.

____________________________________

HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?

Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.

Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.

Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.

This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9^th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

Please try to remember to pray each and every day. In Hebrews 11:6, it underscores this principle of why we pray: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

It is LENT time for us Catholics. The rosaries for me is my way to pray and has had a significant impact on my life and focus during this Easter season. I find it is good to remember the Stations of the Cross during lent and what our savior did for us. I know many of you may not be Catholics or even Christians but try to take a different approach this Easter. Try to see what all the fuss is about in Christ. Put yourself in Christ shoes (or should I say sandals) as an ordinary person in today’s world. You can quickly see that the nature of man has not changed very much and if Christ were born today, many would probably try to crucify him again. Have we not learned anything?

AL-NUSAIRI: 2025 INDICATORS: A STRONG ECONOMY, A RECOVERING DINAR, AND DEVELOPING BANKS.

Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi confirmed that his predictions, made in previous articles and statements, that our economic indicators in 2025 herald a strong and robust economy based on the availability of foreign currency reserves exceeding $108 billion and 163 tons of gold, sufficient to cover imports for 18 months.

Al-Nusairi said in an interview with Al-Eqtisad News that the local currency issued amounted to approximately 100 trillion dinars, and our dinar is recovering and gradually returning towards an exchange rate against the US dollar towards the equilibrium price targeted by the Central Bank.

Our banks are developing and proceeding at a steady pace in accordance with the Central Bank’s strategy for reform, development, digital transformation and compliance with international standards. The number of Iraqi banks that have banking relations and accounts in solid international correspondent banks and deal with them directly in foreign transfers has reached approximately 20 banks and deal in multiple foreign currencies after leaving the electronic platform at the end of 2024.

He explained that the Central Bank is making great efforts to qualify, develop and assist other banks to join the twenty banks mentioned above, pointing out that it is closely monitoring the reality of monetary policy applications and the Central Bank’s procedures, and its close monitoring of international economic variables and their impact on the Iraqi economy and compliance with international standards that allow Iraq to be regular in the global banking system and control the movement and safety of foreign currency trading.

The banks’ commitment to implementing the new foreign transfer instructions and addressing obstacles as soon as possible has led to refuting the extremist and pessimistic views that say the exchange rate crisis will continue and our situation will be like that of Lebanon, Iran, Syria and Turkey when the dollar devoured the local currencies of these countries.

He explained that through our precise knowledge of the Central Bank’s monetary policy applications, its coverage of the entire demand for the US dollar in the trading market and through its various official outlets, and its control over the distribution of cash dollars according to a new method that the US Treasury praised and considered a globally advanced method for distributing the US dollar, and this is what I confirmed in my previous articles, that the dinar will recover and the crisis is temporary despite all the external and internal reasons.

At the end of his speech on the Central Bank, Al-Nusairi hoped that the next phase would be an evaluation and analysis phase of the achievements made in 2023 and 2024, and a re-evaluation of operating banks and licensed and unlicensed exchange offices, reclassifying them and developing their work in all fields in 2025. He also hoped that stability would be maintained in the financial and monetary system and that important steps would be taken to stimulate and enable the banking sector to contribute to investment and development, as stated in paragraph 7 of axis twelve in the government program for reforming the financial and banking sector, because banking reform is the beginning of comprehensive economic reform.

AL-SUDANI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING A STATE OF RECOVERY, GROWTH, PROGRESS, AND PROSPERITY.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress, and prosperity, and that we are working to advance this process. He emphasized that establishing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects.

The Prime Minister’s Media Office said in a statement, seen by Al-Eqtisad News, that “Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, joined officers and fighters of the Land Forces Command for a Ramadan iftar meal.”

The statement added that “al-Sudani congratulated those present on the fasting of the holy month of Ramadan, stressing that the security and stability witnessed by the country is thanks to the sacrifices of the members of the security services of all kinds. He pointed to the improvement in security indicators, in light of security and stability, and the decline in terrorist operations, attacks and even criminal crime, stressing that imposing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects.”

Al-Sudani stressed – according to the statement – the necessity of securing the fighter’s entitlements and rights, especially those related to providing housing, indicating that “the Ministry of Defense has made significant progress in completing the requirements for distributing residential plots, and they will soon be distributed in serviced areas among members, as a government commitment, in addition to caring for the families of martyrs and the wounded, without whose sacrifices security and stability would not have been achieved in Iraq.”

The Prime Minister affirmed that “Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress and prosperity, and we are working to continue it,” stressing that “we must remain prepared, alert and vigilant, and this is achieved by adhering to basic principles.”

He added that “discipline, commitment, professionalism and readiness to sacrifice are military values ​​that must be present, and leaders, officers, commanders and non-commissioned officers must instill them in their behavior towards army members.” He explained, “We need continuous training and updating its curricula to raise the level and readiness of army members to face various challenges.”

The Prime Minister explained that “the government has made significant strides in empowering the Iraqi army, with all its leadership, formations and types, especially in the field of armament.”

He continued, “Arming the army will be done through several projects that we are working to complete, in addition to rehabilitating the infrastructure of bases and camps. It is our duty to deliver all rights stipulated by laws and decisions to the families of martyrs and the wounded.”

Al-Sudani concluded his remarks by emphasizing that Iraq’s path is moving in the right direction toward brotherhood, solidarity, unity, and a unified national discourse for all Iraqis.

AL-MANDLAWI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING STABILITY AND HAS AN ATTRACTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR INVESTMENTS.

First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Mohsen al-Mandalawi affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is interested in developing its relations with its brothers, neighbors, and friends. He also stated that Iraq invites reputable companies to invest in Iraq and benefit from its internal stability and attractive environment.

The media office of the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, said in a statement received by Al-Maalouma that “Al-Mandalawi received the Turkish Ambassador to Iraq, Anil Bora Inan, and his accompanying delegation to discuss a number of important issues at the local and regional levels, as well as bilateral relations and ways to strengthen them in various fields.”

He stressed, according to the statement, that “Iraq is interested in developing its relations with its brothers, neighbors, and friends, and provides significant facilities for solid companies to invest in the country. He called on them to take advantage of the internal stability and attractive environment to expand their participation and presence, particularly in the areas of developing the energy and electricity sectors, improving infrastructure services, and strengthening their economic partnership to serve common interests.”

Al-Mandlawi called for urgent, high-level dialogue between the governments and parliaments of the region’s countries to address threats that destabilize regional security and stability, and to work seriously to prevent the expansion of the conflict, deter the Zionist occupation forces from implementing their malicious plans, and to work together to stop the crimes of genocide in Gaza, and to condemn the ongoing violations of the autonomy of Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.

GEOPOLITICAL FLUCTUATIONS AND OIL MARKETS: HOW CAN IRAQ PROTECT ITS ECONOMY FROM SHOCKS?

Amid the geopolitical turmoil sweeping the world, energy markets remain vulnerable to extreme volatility, posing significant challenges for oil-producing countries, including Iraq.

In this context, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, the Prime Minister’s advisor for financial affairs, confirmed that Iraq’s public finances are well-prepared to withstand any disruptions to global oil prices.

Peace Economics: Post-War Is Not Necessarily Stable

Despite global anticipation of an end to the Russian-Ukrainian war, Saleh believes that the post-war period will not mean immediate market stability. Rather, affected countries will enter what is known as “peace economies,” which focus on reconstruction and increased investment to offset losses. This will create a new wave of demand for oil, driving prices higher.

Saleh explained that every 1% increase in global economic growth leads to a 0.5% increase in oil demand, which enhances oil price stability and prevents sharp collapses in the energy market.

Between Washington and Moscow… the oil balance game

While the United States is the world’s largest crude oil producer, it faces major challenges if prices fall below $70 per barrel, due to the high cost of shale oil production. Russia, the second-largest producer, is not in its interest to sell oil at low prices, as it seeks to maintain international consensus within OPEC, especially in the post-Ukrainian war period.

The Iraqi economy: financial hedging and relative stability

Despite global challenges, Salih affirmed that Iraq’s financial situation is stable, with the first quarter of 2025 drawing to a close without any financial disruptions. The country’s fiscal policy is also operating with high discipline, ensuring the provision of salaries, pensions, and social welfare, in addition to the continued implementation of service projects according to the government’s program.

He pointed out that the three-year federal budget, approved under Law No. 13 of 2023, set the price of oil at $70 per barrel, ensuring stable public revenues despite global economic fluctuations.

Finally, is Iraq heading towards financial stability?

While the world experiences severe volatility in oil markets, Iraq’s fiscal policy appears to be moving steadily toward hedging and stability, while ensuring the sustainability of public revenues. As the three-year budget continues, the question remains: Will Iraq remain immune to the coming economic storms, or will geopolitical challenges impose a new reality on global oil markets?

AN ECONOMIST DETAILS POTENTIAL US PUNITIVE MEASURES AGAINST IRAQ.

Economics professor Saleh Rashid confirmed on Wednesday (March 26, 2025) that America is trying, through its current economic war, to use all the punitive means at its disposal through its large financial and economic infrastructure, indicating that Washington has many cards to play in the Iraqi scene.

Rashid told Baghdad Today, “The American strategy after Trump’s arrival at the White House relied directly on economic sanctions as the most effective means of achieving the Greater Middle East project, which represents a lifeline for Israel by securing its influence in the region and pushing it to digest what remains of the Palestinian people’s rights.”

He added that “Washington is facing a different formulation of economic warfare, employing all the punitive means at its disposal through its extensive financial and economic infrastructure,” noting that “Washington has many cards at its disposal in the Iraqi arena, including sanctions on banks and the flow of funds. Consequently, we may witness an attempt to narrow economic paths, which will inflame the Iraqi street and put direct pressure on the Iraqi government.”

He pointed out that “Washington seeks to separate Baghdad from Iranian influence, as it views Baghdad and Tehran as one arena.” 

Noting that “if the central government does not take steps to restructure the contentious issues related to the factions and the Popular Mobilization Forces, we expect more stringent economic sanctions, which may include withdrawing companies or obstructing the operations of investment companies, especially in the energy sector.”

He explained that “if companies feel that Iraq’s environment is unsafe and unstable, they will withdraw their investments, which will have repercussions for the energy sector and other services, especially since the Iraqi people need these investments to develop their capabilities, whether in the energy sector or in other sectors.”

Rashid emphasized that “Iraq faces major challenges in the coming period, and all expectations are open,” noting that “Washington’s resort to withdrawing companies from southern Iraq and the central Euphrates is likely to achieve three goals. The first is to pressure Baghdad to continue distancing itself from Iranian interests, and to try to position Baghdad as part of its pivot in the Middle East. In addition, it is to ensure that the largest investments in Iraq are for American companies, or at least companies from countries allied with it.”

Last February, the Central Bank announced details of its meetings with the US Treasury and the US Federal Reserve.

The Central Bank of Iraq stated in a statement received by Baghdad Today that “the first quarterly meetings of 2025 with the US Treasury Department and the US Federal Reserve, held in Dubai with the participation of international auditing and consulting firms (EY, K2 Integrity, Oliver Wyman), have concluded. The meetings culminated in praise for the steps taken by the Central Bank of Iraq and the Iraqi government to reform the banking sector.”

He added that the most important steps taken were the development of the US dollar cash distribution system in Iraq, which they considered the most closely monitored and controlled system in the world, limiting manipulation and smuggling of US dollars. The qualitative shift in foreign exchange transactions and the steps taken by the Central Bank of Iraq to address the risks associated with these transactions have now risen to the level of transfers carried out by international banks.

The Central Bank explained that consulting firms EY and Oliver Wyman reviewed plans to reform and upgrade the public and private banking sectors in line with international standards and facilitate the integration of Iraqi banks into the international financial network. 

The Central Bank, according to the statement, emphasized the need to ensure adherence to the bank’s official channels for the latest news and to avoid transmitting inaccurate information, such as reports that some Iraqi banks are subject to international sanctions. This is because transactions carried out by banks operating in Iraq depend heavily on the confidence of international correspondent banks in the Iraqi banking sector.

Two informed sources reported last February that the Central Bank of Iraq would ban local banks from dealing in dollars. Reuters quoted the two sources as saying, “The Central Bank of Iraq will ban five local banks from dealing in dollars at the request of the US Treasury.” The two sources added, “Three payment services companies will be banned from dealing in dollars, in accordance with a request from the US Treasury.” They pointed out that “the US submitted its request due to serious monetary violations and the smuggling of dollars out of the country.”

MP: AMERICA HAS NO OTHER MEANS OF PRESSURING IRAQ THAN ECONOMIC MEANS.

Member of Parliament Amer Hussein confirmed on Wednesday that America has no other cards than the economic card and financial pressures to confront Iraq with in order to exert pressure and achieve its goals.
Hussein told / Al-Maalouma /, “America has no other cards than the economic cards against Iraq if it wants to tighten the noose on the country, such that it will move towards restricting the movement of Iraqi funds held in American banks.”

He added, “The American side has the economic card to play with Iraq, as it is possible to prevent dealings with certain companies and restrict financial transactions, but such a siege cannot be resorted to by Washington without justifications that push it to such options.”

He explained that “America will not be able to re-exert pressure on Iraq through the security aspects related to the terrorist ISIS, and therefore it is working on the economic card to achieve its interests.” End

SOURCE: IRAN-US NEGOTIATIONS TO BE HELD IN THE UAE AFTER NOWRUZ HOLIDAY

A media activist close to Iranian political officials revealed on Tuesday (March 25, 2025) that “the indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington will turn into direct negotiations in the coming days in Abu Dhabi.”

The informed media source added, speaking to Baghdad Today, that “negotiations will resume in Abu Dhabi, and this is a step toward achieving further calm.”

He also explained that Iranian and US representatives will hold meetings at the UAE Foreign Ministry in Abu Dhabi after the Nowruz holiday in Iran, which ends in 10 days.

In a related context, Hamid Abutalebi, deputy director of former Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s office, noted a new direction in the relationship between Iran and the United States, noting that statements by officials on both sides reflect an approach based on dialogue and negotiation to resolve differences.

Abu Talbi added that the current phase requires continued multilateral contacts, both overt and covert, and a move toward “direct and comprehensive negotiations” to reach sustainable solutions between the two sides.

For his part, Iranian journalist Ali Qalhaki revealed a different account of the secret message sent by US President Donald Trump to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, noting that the allegations published by Abdulkhaleq Abdullah, an advisor to the Crown Prince of the UAE, contained inaccurate information.

According to Qalhaki, Trump’s message did not address regional issues, as the Emirati official claimed, but rather focused primarily on the Iranian nuclear issue. He also emphasized that the claim of a “broad military option” is unrealistic given its grave consequences for the United States itself.

Qalhaki pointed out that these allegations raise questions about the UAE’s role in fueling US and Israeli pressure on Iran, rather than pursuing a responsible policy toward regional security.

IRAQI PORTS AUTHORITY DISCUSSES OPERATING MECHANISMS FOR THE GRAND FAW PORT WITH THE AMERICAN COMPANY KBR.

The General Company for Iraqi Ports announced on Wednesday that a meeting was held at the Ministry of Transport headquarters with representatives from the American company KBR, in the presence of representatives from the Ministry of Planning, to discuss the mechanisms for the actual transition to operating the Grand Faw Port after the completion of the project’s basic work.

Farhan Al-Fartousi, Director General of Iraqi Ports, told Shafaq News Agency, “The Grand Faw Port is going through a pivotal phase, as many preliminary works have been completed. This meeting is a strategic step to coordinate efforts between government agencies and international companies, ensuring the success of future operations.”

Al-Fartousi pointed out that “the meeting comes within the framework of preparing for the transition to the actual operational phase of the port, relying on available international expertise and in line with the Prime Minister’s government program,” stressing that “qualifying Iraqi cadres to manage and operate the port is a key priority in the programs for contracting with international companies.”

The cost of the Faw Port is approximately 4.6 billion euros, with an estimated capacity of 99 million tons annually, making it one of the largest ports overlooking the Gulf and the tenth largest in the world. The foundation stone for this project was laid on April 5, 2010.

The Grand Faw Port issue and the delays in its completion have sparked widespread controversy in Iraq. MPs have accused successive governments of striking deals with neighboring countries that squandered the port’s construction in favor of those countries’ ports. The project has also experienced some delays following the mysterious suicide of the technical director of the South Korean company Daewoo, which was implementing the Grand Faw Port project.

(Again more past corruption is exposed. When will it all come out?)

EMPLOYEES WITHDRAW 8 TRILLION DINARS FROM BANKS IN TWO HOURS.. THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE SEEKS A SOLUTION.

Crisis of confidence despite the electronic system

Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Moeen Al-Kadhimi, called for stopping the provision of subsidized dollars at an exchange rate of 1,320 dinars for non-essential luxury imports, and instead providing them for the import of necessities such as production lines and agricultural equipment, to reduce the volume of imports later. He pointed out that many private banks were not established according to the needs of economic sectors and that they profit from transfer operations despite being inactive due to their inability to deal with foreign correspondent banks. He also confirmed that the government deposits about 8 trillion dinars monthly as salaries for employees and retirees, but they are withdrawn within only two hours, calling for the matter to be addressed.

oeen Al-Kadhimi, in an interview with journalist Saadoun Mohsen Damd, followed by 964 Network :

The banking system is linked to the Central Bank, the body responsible for regulating banking operations. Numerous workshops have been held recently to develop the banking system. However, there are external factors that influence banks attempting to link up with foreign banks, which also impact the development process.

From our perspective as a parliamentary committee, we believe the Iraqi banking system is still in its early stages of adapting to global regulations. The Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance are required to support the work of banks so they can fulfill their role beyond limited tasks, such as supporting the agricultural and industrial sectors, and other diverse economic sectors.

Some banks are trying to profit solely from dollar transfers, without contributing to other developmental aspects. One of our most important observations is the increasing number of banks being established without feasibility studies. This is despite the fact that they are practically at a standstill because most of them have been unable to link up with international banks to conduct financial transfers, thus preventing them from accessing the currency window.

The Central Bank sometimes justifies some of the violations of its instructions by private banks. It must then address the missing relationship between the public and the banks. Some citizens lost their money after certain banks declared bankruptcy, and the Central Bank must also address this issue.

Improving banking performance is key, and we have approached the Central Bank about addressing the issue of depositing funds and the difficulty depositors face in withdrawing them later, while improving interest rates to ensure depositors feel valued. Most importantly, we are increasing automation, moving away from cash transactions.

The internet is no obstacle to the electronic transformation of financial transactions. Banks must improve their digital applications and technologies to benefit from the country’s internet services and quality. Employee and retiree salaries, which amount to approximately 8 trillion dinars, are now paid electronically, but they are withdrawn within two hours, immediately emptying all banks. This must be addressed.

The Ministry of Finance’s monthly priority is to convert its dollar balances into dinars to boost remittances and foreign imports, which are often for luxury goods, as traders benefit from the exchange rate difference. This must stop, and subsidized dollars must be allocated to essential needs, such as importing production lines, to reduce imports later.

PM’S ADVISOR: IRAQ’S OIL EXPORTS TO THE US INCREASED BY 110% IN TWO YEARS

The Prime Minister’s Financial Advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed that Iraq’s oil exports to the United States have increased by more than 110% in two years.

Salih told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States extends to many diverse investment, trade, and economic fields. Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States has witnessed remarkable developments in recent years.” He noted that “the volume of trade between the two countries has more than doubled over the past two years, with Iraq’s oil exports to the United States increasing by more than 110%, and Iraq’s imports from the United States increasing significantly over the past two years, with the value of this trade ranging between $9 and $10 billion.”

He explained that “Iraq’s imports were primarily in automobiles, transportation equipment, and engineering and electrical equipment. However, the trade balance remained in Iraq’s favor, with a difference of $5.7 billion, reflecting the continued superiority of Iraqi exports to the United States, particularly in the crude oil sector.” He noted that “economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States is developing, with a focus on enhancing trade exchange and supporting joint investment activities, serving the economic interests of both countries.”

Salih stated that “financial and economic cooperation is part of a positive joint dialogue between the two countries. Since the beginning of this year, many mutual understandings have been reached in the field of economic cooperation, which are consistent with supporting stability and economic reforms outlined in the government’s program, particularly the development of an attractive investment cooperation environment for investors between the two friendly countries, within the country’s general economic policy to achieve sustainable development goals.”
