Aggiedad77 the Iraqis are doing their part well with this last push of Mosul...all is good...the BEST is coming... the feeling I'm getting over the battle action in Mosul...plus the kinds of meetings that Abadi is having in Munich...plus the sheer numbers of meetings he's having...add that on top of Trumps HUGE speech yesterday...this plan IMO is coming together...It's been planned for the right moment...and I'm thinking it's definitely not months away, nor even weeks away...but we all know it's the ME...and they drag their feet in the sand...but Trump is a strong businessman who expects that anyone he works with to be prompt, professional, and to get things done...No more lollygagging like we've seen in the past...he knows what is needed and the results it will bring...it all is pointing in a positive way...it is a time to be searching for the nuggets that are thrown out...it may not be heavily announced...in the still of their night...watch for it

"Shining Star" - Weekly ZAP - The Office of POOFness - 2.19.17
"Fire" - Intel SITREP - 00:00 EST - Monday - February 20, 2017
On Friday, February 17, there was a full scale global dry run of the RV roll out.
On Saturday, February 18, there were deployment of several special operations (over 2 dozen missions in multiple theaters within the last 24 hours).
On Sunday, February 19, a Monday ceasefire was announced for Donetsk, Ukraine between the Normandy Four (Ukraine, Germany, France, Russia). This was the last nation-state military conflict in the world.
On Monday, February 20, 2017 Japanese series 55:57 Bonds started processing, which are supposed to be the last sovereign asset released.
Looking back historically, Operation Neptune began D-Day on June 5, 1944--a day before Operation Overlord started with beach landings at the crack of dawn June 6, 1944.
We believe this same strategical tactic was repeated over the weekend, and NPTB military planners used President Trump's speech as both a global indicator and potential last attack bait (which worked).
At the same time, China stopped exporting coal from North Korea today, effectively bankrupting Kim Jong Un's entire economy--and the most likely the reason he had his defector brother assassinated.
At the same time, Russia stopped importing coal today, effectively freezing out the Ukrainian government for the remainder of the winter, forcing them to sign the Minsk agreements this week.
At the same time, Paul Ryan tells the Israel Knesset that the US Congress will not authorize payment on Israel's 38 Billion, 10 year military aid package until the American RV had successfully completed without incident from Israel (see the compromised dam wall in California near Sacramento and Reno; and the rogue plane shot down off the coast of Florida during Trump's Saturday speech/spectacle).
These 3 cabal die hard countries were the last of 209 sovereign nations who simply refused to play nice at the GCR table so that the world could receive its RV blessing.
Until now.
All are currently under control after the G20 meetings in Bonn, Germany this weekend, as none are prepared to endure the consequences of their continued disruptive and coordinated behaviors delaying the RV that their nation's had previously agreed to per GESARA treaty.
The ignition flame we believe is 100% in General Dunford's capable hands for worldwide release.
It's his call on when the Republic officially RV's, and thus catches fire with all other nations around the globe simultaneously.

2-20-2017   Newshound/Intel Guru BGG   ...much of the expectation we've all had - was directly inspired by Abadi and Alak. They are the ones telling us when they were going to "start the project"... whatever "delay" Alak commented on - seems to drawing to a close...the delay - appears to be the handling of Mosul. They expected this done sooner - it wasn't... looks like now it is.  That's the key - AND, I fully expect some very good news coming out of Mosul this coming week.
 
2-19-2017   Newshound Guru Aggiedad77    IMO...there will be good come of this trip in many ways...watch for it...and with President Trump's rousing speech yesterday, it could likely be this week.  IMO...if today's window slides by...I can see a window either being stretched...or a new one being opened until the end of this month...or to day...because events are happening so quickly...You aren't seeing all of what is happening IMO...what the media reports is only the tip of the iceberg with these meetings again IMO.  [post 2 of 2]

  Article:  "Iraqi presence was influential and present through other meetings Observers believe that the Abadi succeeded in marketing the Iraqi issue globally and gain the trust and sympathy of .the participants in the conference leaders."  It is my deep opinion that Abadi is meeting with more world leaders on this trip than just about any trip he's made in the last year...something is up...Something is astir with all these meetings...and the kingpin of them all his meeting with VP Pence...IMO he might as well been having a face to face with President Trump...that message being delivered by VP Pence was as good as it coming from Trump himself.    [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

(none of which will happen soon)...now - here's the good news...They have managed to "side-step" this whole issue by regularly "codifying" something of an HCL agreement in each and every annual budget...since 2015?  HCL isn't so much land boundaries as it is - WHO GETS WHAT... in simplest terms...how much each bunch gets.  But...they have handled it - in more of a technical "end around"...  [...always heard no hcl no reval.]  let me help you - that's bull ****.

   Investors will not come to Iraq in any meaningful way until they are sure that they can get their initial investments and profits out of Iraq whenever they choose to do so. Investors coming into Iraq is a major part to ensuring that Iraq realizes it’s vision of being one of the riches countries in the world...   Now for the million dollar question.  Is the investment law needed prior to an increase the purchasing power of the dinar? IMO...NOT HAVING THE INVESTMENT LAW PASSED WILL NOT STOP THEM FROM AN RV...HOWEVER IT DOES HAVE TO HAPPEN SHORTLY THERE AFTER IF THEY WANT THE WALL OF INVESTMENT CAPITAL TO COME IN A SUPPORT THE MOVE OTHERWISE THEIR ECONOMY MOST LIKELY WOULD FALTER...HUGE PIECE OF NEWS!  [post 2 of 2]

He hopes Matisse, on his first visit to Iraq as secretary of defense to get the first-hand assessment of the war effort while waging the US-backed Iraqi forces, a new offensive to expel Daesh from areas still under its control in Mosul. 
But it is likely that the US minister faces questions about Trump's comments and actions, including the temporary ban on travel to the United States and saying that America had to take control of Iraq's oil after it toppled the former regime in 2003. 
In January Trump said in a speech to CIA employees [CIA] "We had to hold onto the oil, but Well, maybe you will have another chance."
