OPEC committee and oil producers recommend extension of production cut 6 months

Revision date: 2017/3/26 15:32 • 44 times read
{International: Euphrates News} The Joint Ministerial Committee of OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers recommended on Sunday in a press statement to extend the agreement to reduce world oil production six months.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and 11 other major oil producers, including Russia, agreed in December to cut their total production by about 1.8 million bpd in the first half of the year.
"The Commission expressed its satisfaction with the progress made towards full compliance with voluntary production adjustments and urged all participating countries to move forward towards full commitment," the statement said.
The December agreement, aimed at supporting the oil market, lifted crude prices to more than $ 50 a barrel. But the price increase encouraged US rock producers not involved in the agreement to increase production. "
"It is aware that certain factors such as low seasonal demand, maintenance of refineries and increased non-OPEC supply have led to an increase in crude oil inventories," the committee said.
"But the end of the refinery maintenance season and the marked slowdown in US inventories as well as the decline in floating storage will support the positive efforts to stabilize the market," she said.
Oil Minister Jabbar Ali al-Allaibi told reporters ahead of the meeting that there were some encouraging factors that suggest that the oil market is improving and that Iraq will support any steps to bring stability to the price if agreed by all OPEC members

Calling for civilians to flee near the collapse of the Euphrates Dam by the US bombing
Baghdad / Sky Press:
A source from the Euphrates dam east of Syria, the dam was temporarily out of service as a result of fighting and shelling in the vicinity.
The source said in an interview with "Sky Press" that the bombing extended the electric control station in the dam, which led to the departure from work. "
He added that the organization "Daash" calls through loudspeakers civilians to leave the city of Raqqa because of the near collapse of the Euphrates Dam, and the closure of all gates in the dam by the raids and artillery shelling of the United States.
According to experts, the Lion Lake, which is being held by the Euphrates dam behind it, contains more than 12 billion cubic meters of water. If the dam is destroyed, a 9 meter high wave will be built at a speed of 7.5 meters per second on 119 square kilometers that will sink 67 residential centers including Al-Rigga.
The terrorist organization had recently used the dam as a place for its leaders, where there would be no attack by international coalition aircraft or Russian aircraft. However, over the past year, the organization has threatened to blow up the dam if it feels that its capital will collapse.
Reuters said the terrorist group had warned that blocking the class in Syria, which Syria's US-backed democracy forces are trying to wrest control from, is in danger of imminent collapse due to air strikes and rising water levels.
The organization also said in letters to him that the dam has stopped working and closed all flood openings, according to Reuters.
"The dam is threatened with collapse at any moment as a result of the American strikes and because of the significant rise in the level of water reserved by the dam," he said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had learned from its own sources that the dam had stopped working, but "Daash" still controls the operating facilities and the turbines.
The observatory added that the dam was about four kilometers long and that the Syrian Democratic Forces had advanced for a short distance along the dam from the northern bank of the river, but progress was slow because of the many mines planted by the "Dahesh" in the region.

"Pono" - Yosef - Sunday - March 26, 2017
Dear Dinarland,
Let me begin making pono by first saying how sorry I am for upsetting anyone in the RV Internet community and family.
I have acted badly at times out of frustration, angry or fear, when I could have acted more benevolently and for that I do apologize.
Like you, I too get infuriated with the pace of the RV roll out, and while I do my best to analyze everything in context to calm my own nerves, clearly I am an amateur analyst functioning within an event that requires highly skilled and trained professionals, which I am not.
Please forgive how unprepared I was walking into this currency house nearly 3 years ago, and for over 1 year now on-line. I did not understand what I was getting myself into, or you for that matter when I began posting and doing calls.
Sadly, I still don't understand this event even after all my hours, weeks and months of study. My intellect is just not what I thought it to be, and you can't buy smarts but yes arrogance is cheap, so I now agree with so many disgruntled posters and accept that its best to accept limitations and ask for forgiveness.
I did the best I could given what I had to give away, and many have heaped praised upon me for that. But I deserve much of the negative comments out there, and for those comments (corrections my ignorance or bad behavior) I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We all need critics to help us understand our true nature and positions more clearly.
Also, for those who sent me kind emails or posts, thank you. Sharing your stories made me weep from time to time. And a few really made me laugh.
For those who found my posts and observations to be intentional disinformation, thank you for caring enough to comment. I'm just a guy in my basement like many of you, searching for something I know exists and just trying to prove.
I didn't always agree with your assessments, nor you with mine, but I always accepted we each had the God given right to share them in an influential manner and with voracity should we choose that pathway.
Everyone certainly has an opinion, and Patrick, you sir have generously given us all the digital platform by which to share ours, openly and without constraint. Thank you again, Patrick… I look forward to meeting you and your family in the Philippines when I visit. And for that matter, thanks to everyone who participated on Dinar Chronicles.
Finally, the Internet is sure one strange place, very real and unreal at the same time, and when I cam to Dinarland I was an Internet novice. No Facebook, Twitter or Snap Chap in my past. Only a few absolutely necessary apps on my phone. So I dove into this world very naive, and stay and played in it like a true novice.
And while I have enjoyed my experience on the whole, the distance between human beings interacting has left me empty. I discovered along the way I love the potential to communicate of the Internet more than the Internet experience itself. And what I missed most was simple human-to-human contact, love and affection.
So to all the bloggers, posters, readers, chat roomers, web masters, lurkers and even the trolls who called me out at every opportunity, I want to express my love for your humanity.
And too all the call-in show hosts and pod casters out there who entertained my rants, I want to express my love and appreciation for your souls and what you were able to accomplish on a much more consistent basis than I could handle.
Bruce, Sue, Kent, Bob, Robert, Pastor Steven: I think you guys know my disgust was with Wells Fargo decision makers and not any of you personally. I love you all very much as people as well as Big Call Nation; and I enjoyed my time with each and all of you. Please forgive me for walking away at the advice of counsel.
Iko and Gerry, boy we've sure had our differences, but your longevity in this RV game has revealed your sincerity and commitment to Wing-It Call Country, so please hear my sincere apology for my poor choices and feel my gratitude and love for your part played in currency history.
Ray, DC and Tony… many in the intelligence community have shared from who and where your Intel originates, and yet I appreciated your involvement in the Internet community, as you guys taught us all so much. I offer nothing but love and gratitude for your participation in this grand odyssey, as without TNT's bold leadership many years ago there would have been no need for Yosef.
To the Real Truth Universe, especially host with the most Dr. WC, to whom I have the utmost respect for as a follower of Christ and long-time leader in the truth movement, I will be continuing on with with RTC world in some capacity moving forward, as I discovered my personal quest was more about revealing hard truths freely and teaching philanthropy versus excelling in sovereign wealth affairs.
And to all who shared their opinions, voices, time, texts and emails in order to keep the RV balloon in the air, please receive my love for your efforts. Even those cabal psy-ops and disinformation agents who participated for non-benevolent reasons, at the end of the day we are all just one family climbing an invisible mountain, pushing an invisible rock, anticipating this invisible fortune.
All of you have made me better in what was certainly an unprecedented financial event… thus extremely difficult waiting experience.
Servicing this community with pros and cons has been one of the greatest honors of my life. What a wild, twisting and unpredictable train ride we all took together, huh? Surreal yet sublime. Utterly amazing.
Best of luck in all your future endeavors where ever they may lead you, with infinite wealth in both form or spirit by the grace and mercy of our benevolent and loving God through the heart of Christ, Yeshua Ben Yosef of the Nazarene from Galilee.
Aloha Makualani

SO, THE IMF ANNOUNCES THAT IRAQ MUST BE UP TO FAIR VALUE FOR THE CURRENCY WITHIN 72 HOURS

FOR OVER 40 YEARS ALL OIL HAS BEEN TRADED IN US DOLLARS
ON SUNDAY OPEC MEETS TO ESTABLISH THE VALUE OF OIL BASED ON PRODUCTION
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 40 YEARS THAT VALUE WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE CURRENCY OF EACH COUNTRY
FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, YOU CANT HAVE KUWAIT AT 3.22 IRAN AT . 003 whatever and IRAQ AT .001166. THAT WOULDNT BE FAIR TRADE
SO BEFORE THEY CAN DETERMINE FAIR VALUE THEY HAVE TO KNOW THE CURRENT FAIR VALUE IF THEIR CURRENCY
THAT WAS WOULD INCLUDE IRAQ AND IRAN AND...ANYONE ELSE WHO BUYS OIL FROM OPEC
SO THE PUBLIC TERM FOR THE GCR IS "FAIR TRADE VALUE".
WHENEVER YOU SEE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT

3-27-2017   Intel Guru RayRen98    It was reported today that Iraqi TV is referencing a memo from the CBI to the banking industry pertaining to an established (but not revealed) new international rate that must be adhered when released. Time Will Tell.
3-26-2017   Newshound Guru mike   7) We know Baghdad hasn't paid the Kurd's anything in over two years.  8) We know that the majority of politicians in Iraq don't want US combat troops in the country.   9) We know there's been none to little movement on legislation related to the economy.  10) We know that Iraq's reserves have dropped from $84 billion to somewhere around $40 billion.  11) We know Iraq has roughly 63 trillion in M0 money supply.  I could go on, but you get the point. Does the news give us a date for when Iraq adds value to the dinar? Nope, but that won't happen anyway. The reality of Iraq is right in front of us, all we have to do is have a basic understanding of geo-politics, finance and currency and it's pretty straight forward after that, there's tons of information out there to gauge progress.  [post 2 of 2]

3-26-2017   Newshound Guru mike   I learn a lot from the articles. There's tons of great information out there, you just have to winnow through the garbage and find the truth, which there's loads of.  Think about it, what have we learned from the press about Iraq?  1) Iraq was invaded by ISIL because the Shia led government marginalized the minority Sunni's.  2) Iraq's HCL is hung up because Baghdad wants to centralize everything.  3) We keep track of the MCP and exchange restrictions in Iraq.  4) We can read and follow the Article IV consultations from the IMF.  5) We learned about the SFA and how are partnership with Iraq is supposed to work.  6) We know Iraq still has an incomplete government, there are no Minister of Finance, Minister of Interior or Defense Minister.   [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

3-26-2017   Newshound Guru Kaperoni   Article:  "The Central Bank of Iraq introduces a new logo"  Engaging the banking system with the world's financial system seems like a good time to create a new logo...especially one that shows where its from (showing the outline of Iraq).

3-26-2017   Newshound Guru Loopback  [formerly known as Guru loop]   Article:  "Central Bank introduces a new slogan mimics its history and financial policies"  Quote:  "And that there is a brief phrase CBI's "CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ" in the center of the map of Iraq is a sign that the role of the central bank includes all parts of Iraq from north to south and from east to west as the backbone of the national economy."  CBI has a new Logo.  Seems that they want it to represent inclusiveness and being at the center of economic development.  The timing seems a bit strange to me. Usually when an institution unveils a new logo (slogan) it goes hand in hand with a new strategy or direction. Let's hope that this pertains to the event that we are looking for.

   Article:  "Parliamentary Finance: The existence of a currency of 150 thousand dinars so far perhaps 100 thousand"   Quote:   "The Parliamentary Finance Committee on Saturday reiterated its rejection of a proposal to put the KD 150,000 category at the present time by the Central Bank of Iraq."   Not happening.  No more time for these types if schemes.  Currency reform to remove the zeros over time and put the dinar more on par with the dollar is the plan.

3-26-2017   Newshound Guru loop   Article:  "Iraq is approaching the resolution of the external debt profile"   Quote:  "Jubeir revealed about his country's intention to cancel the previous debt owed by Iraq, noting that his country seeks to open a flight route from Riyadh to Baghdad and Najaf in the context of strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries."  Looks like Saudi Arabia does not want to be left out of the money to be made in Iraq as is moves to a market economy and is forgiving the 15 billion dollars of debt the Iraq owes.
3-26-2017   Intel Guru Frank26   IN MY STRONG OPINION...the MR has been going on inside of Iraq for quite awhile ago.  We’ve shown you many articles of how this is possible.  Infancy is NOT the starting of the MR...it is in the stage that it is in right now...

   Article:  "PM Barzani: There Will Be a Referendum on Independence This Year"   Quotes:  "Barzani said "there will be a referendum this year. No question," noting that "the outcome doesn't mean we will immediately embark but it will show the international community what the population wants."  "The Kurds continue to consolidate their gains and refuse to give up on what they have liberated since 2014."  Never say never when it comes to Iraq. Baghdad has always treated their minorities like crap and now they want change. Having a US military base takes away 98% of the threat from Iran, Turkey and Iraq itself. If the Barzani's can sell this to the Trump administration, this could become a reality.

3-25-2017   Newshound/Intel Guru BGG   [Would changing the rate of the Dinar have any affect on their rampant corruption issues?]   Just the opposite...them dealing with their corruption issues will help the world accept a higher rate for the Dinar. I am positive this is one of the items the IMF will be discussing shortly.

3-25-2017   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  Article:  "Iraq on the brink of an ambitious program looming..."     I am encouraged that we will see the beginnings of currency reform within the next few months. We can hope anyway.

3-25-2017   Newshound Guru loop   [Would changing the rate of the Dinar have any affect on their rampant corruption issues?]   IMO...They have a good handle on the corruption going on in the banking sector. While they still have work to do on this front they have systems in place to catch the crooks. 
So I do not see it has stopping them from a rate change at this point.

  The month of March is winding down and so where is the early, in the EARLY 2017 statement, for the continuance of the “project to the delete the zeros”?  Article quote:  "Secretary General of the Council of Ministers Mahdi Keywords, said on Thursday that the government is proceeding towards a free economy and activating the private sector."  ...they didn’t say they WILL proceed they just told us instead they ARE proceeding forward...  ...so now it sounds like the GOI is about to give the CBI the go ahead once again to proceed with the “project to delete the zeros...it’s coming.  We watch and wait for the articles from the CBI then we get excited....  (...the Iraqi news media is using the term“keywords” to mean an influential person of authority speaking policy...)

3-25-2017   Intel Guru RayRen98   It is getting hot in terms of what we are looking for.  There was a translation from Arabic found on the CBI website, and it reads: “to all licensed banks and money transferers and currency dealers, approve all companies for exchange rate..."   ...it seems to be saying that the CBI has approved a new rate for all currency locations.  One of my best translators...says that is what is says.  ...this is the type of thing we want to see and hear and acknowledge...and there is a lot of excitement and expectation surrounding it, but there is still a timing factor. If the green light has been given, how fast does movement commence?   It could happen today[Friday], tomorrow or Sunday. We know it’s inevitable...because the process has already begun.
