Mr. Governor's speech in Washington (FROM CBI
The speech of the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq Dr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq during his meeting with the Director General of the International Monetary Fund and the Governors of Central Banks in Washington on 15-10-2017
Thank you Mr. Laccard, the Director-General for hosting this meeting.
Despite the difficult circumstances, the Iraqi government is committed to implementing its program with the International Monetary Fund and we hope that the third revision will be agreed under the program during our stay here.
We appreciate the work of the IMF team and the flexibility of the policy of advising, as it is important to reach this degree of flexibility and understanding of the exceptional Iraqi situation, where this is important when it comes to balancing the financial situation with social considerations.
The withdrawal of correspondent banks is an important issue for us. We also appreciate if the Middle East Division of the International Monetary Fund can share best practices and facilities and conduct a dialogue with shareholders to address this issue.
Iraq, like other countries in the region, has a large number of refugees and displaced persons (about 3 million for displaced people). It would be helpful for the Middle East to provide assistance in assessing the economic impact associated with it. The international community has the opportunity to provide assistance.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks and appreciation to the Kuwaiti Government for their valuable support to Iraq, including hosting the Iraq Reconstruction Conference in the coming months. In this regard, we appreciate the technical support of the International Monetary Fund in preparing for this conference.
There is a need for great efforts by the International Monetary Fund to develop the representation of our region's staff and to ensure appropriate career opportunities and promotions to the highest levels, and we hope to see tangible progress in this regard at our next meeting.

"The world stands by a unique and unprecedented position in its rejection of all measures that threaten our security and unity. The principle of solution may be based on opening up the horizons of a comprehensive national dialogue that focuses on constitutional constants and does not exceed the contribution of all and the principle of justice and fairness.

10-22-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Next, once the newer 3 zero notes replaced the old Saddam notes, they had to slow down and stabilize the economy somehow. How did they do this? They did this by issuing the news notes along with instituting the a “de facto” peg of these notes to the US dollar. This was pegged to the US dollar only and not the British pound. The CBI and IMF have told us this countless times already in articles and news. Next, this “de facto” peg is not a float and is not even close to a float the IMF has talked about putting the Iraqi dinar on, once they move the currency out of sanction restrictions (which I believe they are now doing) and back to “full” international status. I don’t care to get fussy in what specifically they will call the float they will use but it will be a “fixed float” in that the market will determine the value based on supply and demand for the currency. In other words, they will fix an initial value and let the market drive it. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
10-21-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...let me clarify yet more misunderstandings being passed around. Within the 10 years of the Iraqi embargo prior to the 2003 war with Iraq, the Saddam Hussein currency went into hyper- inflation. This was an intentional stifling of the economy, while pressure was exerted while complying with UN resolutions for the inspection program for weapons of mass destruction. Essentially the economy of Iraq fell apart. Remember the oil for food program. Why in hell do you think they had that program? Contrary to many of the beliefs by the dinar investment community, the rate as this time was not even close to the infamous $3.22 rate, everyone talks about and uses to justify this investment. So let me dispel this rumor. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

Operation Disclosure GCR/RV Intel Alert for October 21, 2017
SOMETHING MAJOR HAS CHANGED FROM PREVIOUS REPORTS.
TRUMP WAS ELECTED BY THE APTB/NPTB FOR A SPECIFIC REASON.
TO DRAW THE CABAL OUT IN THE U.S. AND WORLDWIDE.
THIS IS WHY THERE IS SO MUCH CHAOS AND HATE TOWARDS TRUMP.
TRUMP WAS CHOSEN TO BRING OUT ALL OF THE ISSUES IN THE U.S., TAKING IN ALL OF THE CRITICISM, AND BRINGING FORTH CHANGE (GESARA).
MEANWHILE THE RESTORED REPUBLIC CONTINUES TO REFORM THE COUNTRY BEHIND THE SCENES.
TRUMP WILL BE DISCLOSING VARIOUS TOPICS SUCH AS JFK, 9/11, SECRET SPACE PROGRAMS AND MORE.
THESE DISCLOSURE EVENTS ARE PART OF THE CHAIN OF EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE GCR/RV.
TRUMP WILL EXPOSE THE CABAL MORE AND MORE UNTIL THERE IS ENOUGH FOR THE MASS ARRESTS TO BEGIN.
"DRAIN THE SWAMP" AS HE SAID. HE WAS ALREADY DISCLOSING "THE PLAN" FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
NOW FOR THE WEIRD PART.
THERE ARE TWO CLONES OF TRUMP BEING USED BY THE APTB/NPTB. ONE CLONE WEARS A RED TIE, THE OTHER A BLUE TIE.
HUMAN TRUMP IS NOT WHO YOU THINK HE IS AND IS RARELY SEEN IN PUBLIC BUT HE IS IN-FACT INTERIM PRESIDENT OF THE RESTORED REPUBLIC. HE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE RESTORED REPUBLIC BEHIND THE SCENES THIS WHOLE TIME. THE TRUMP CLONES ARE THE ONES ACTING AS PRESIDENT OF THE CURRENT USA, INC. THEY ARE THE ONES YOU SEE ON TV. HUMAN TRUMP ONLY RARELY APPEARS ON TV TO SIGN EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
ONCE THE MASS ARRESTS BEGIN AFTER SEVERAL DISCLOSURES, THE USA, INC. WILL BE DISSOLVED, ALL CLONES WILL BE DEACTIVATED, AND HUMAN TRUMP WILL STEP IN AS PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC.
THIS WAS ALL AGREED UPON FOR A SMOOTH TRANSITION. THE PUBLIC WILL NEVER KNOW ABOUT THE SEVERAL TRUMPS, THE SUDDEN RESTORATION OF THE REPUBLIC, AND THE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF GESARA. IT WILL APPEAR AS TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT THIS WHOLE TIME. THIS WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL MUCH LATER IN THE FUTURE.
WATCH THE NEWS FOR DISCLOSURES.
JFK DISCLOSURE IS UP NEXT AND THERE WILL BE MORE AFTER.
WITH EACH DISCLOSURE, WE GET CLOSER TO THE MASS ARRESTS.
THE MASS ARRESTS IS THE TRIGGER FOR THE GCR/RV TO BEGIN.
Looks like the Kennedy Assassination files are going to be released in the coming week.

"Switcheroo & Tigger Too" - GCR/RV Update - Saturday - April 29, 2017
Tonight US President Donald J. Trump legally signed the gold standard into law. before leaving for Florida to play golf.
Yup, you read that right: Trump = Gold = Law = Golf. What a country!
The new USN will be legal tender for our Republic per Congressional approval as required by the Constitution--hidden not so subtly in the seemingly innocuous one week budget extension running through midnight May 5th.
If you'll recall on Wednesday afternoon of this week, the entire US Senate was dragged in before Republic military commander General Dunford, who warned that no cabal agent dare interfere with the USN implementation process or risk losing their amnesty and pre-exchanged profits.
They clearly did not stop it.
This is a massive miracle if you understand how difficult just getting to tonight was for so many ... over so long .. with so much on the line.

ANOTHER BRILLIANT[IN MY OPINION] ESSAY BY VICTOR. THIS ON DESCRIBES HOW WE INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVLY HAVE HELPED DELAY THE GCR/RV BY WAITING FOR AND DEMANDING DAILY DETAILS, OR WHAT HAS BEEN CALED INTEL REPORTS; AND HOW THEY HAVE BEEN OLD CABAL TECHINQUES THAT HAVE BEEN PROGRAMED INTO US OVER TIME/LIFETIMES.
"The Limitations of Details" by Victor - 10.21.17
Entry Submitted by Victor at 12:44 PM EDT on October 21, 2017
Everyone get upset over the details of the failed INTEL reports, in that nothing ever happens as it is predicted. To focus on details is a way to limit your manifestations.
IMO........getting everyone addicted to facts and details, is an old Cabal Trick. It is how we have been programmed to believe....." Reality works"..... when it does not work that way. Details don't create or lead a Reality. YOU do by your OVERALL INTENT.
If you study the Law of Attraction and what OWK talked about and what others talk about on this topic. You want to focus on the positive larger picture of what you want to experience in your life. Pat yesterday replied to a post I made and explained it all very clearly and very beautifully, much better than I could have. So did Daughter of Terra today write on the power of the ..."Intent"........The larger INTENT of OWK while he was here and how that relates to what we intend for ourselves.
Focus on our ....."INTENT".....that is the key here to success. NOT just focusing on why the ...."Details of INTEL"..... fail or whether even the RV is real. That questioning, those doubts are what can be called the ........."Second day process"........The second day process is where your ego, your old negative nature, your old programing, the Cabal nature in you. The anti-matter in you ..."HAS TO COME UP".....Lack thinking and doubt have to come up and ask you once again......"Are you certain you want to proceed down this path of manifestation???.........Well do you want this new creation for sure?
These delays and failures are like a check valve in Realities, to make sure you get your ....."Prayers"...... answered the way you want and that......." YOU ARE CERTAIN"........
It is all about your commitment and what you really want. The Universe, Source, prime Creator, Awareness......what ever........is trying to get your Free Will desires just right .That is what the "second day process" is all about and it is to be expected. When it shows up, you just keep on walking. You understand that ALL of that noise is just a delayed reflection of what you used to want in your life and it is showing up to make sure you......"ignore it".......and you no longer empower it. That is all. So ignore it.
Limitations of details, that is partly what failed Intel is all about, along with all the other ........"Delays"........but the delays is our own Higher Self only making certain we want to proceed down the new path of change. That is All. The facts that we think WE are IN only a single....."Objective Reality"........and fixed in stone as the only one Reality in existence is a false understating of the many time lines in existence.
Basely we are deceived into thinking that how we experience Life is only IN......." ONE REALITY".........WHEN IT IS NOT. Any change in our life is a change to another Reality or another time line. The old time line where nothing is happening in it is still there is existence. All that has happened is that......."YOU have left it".....
What has happened is that your ...."awareness " ....is now experiencing another time line according to your own powers of manifestation or desires. Another Holographic universe that seems like the continuations of the One Objective Realty, where you are now at. It appears to be a continuous progression, when it is not. You JUMPED ELSEWHERE.
So if you want the RV experience......"leave it loose of detail".........The details or the Intel do not make it happen at all. Proof of that being true, is what we are experiencing still here, because of our own misunderstand. If we focus on details like Trump has to go.......etc......then we ourselves are putting limitations on how the RV can manifest. When in fact there are many, many other options of how the RV can manifest. Many of those options or timeliness are much more exciting and expansive than the limiting ones we have been......"waiting for".......to happen.
When we ...."Wait".......on details. We are not manifesting properly, because we are empowering limitations and lack or a few options only. When we hold only the larger grander RV picture in mind. We can let the Universe unfold in a more expansive and Creative way. When we say that the RV has to "only" happen in this particular way because we have heard some crazy rumors that those rumors are the ........"only Reality".......of how one can experience the RV.
When we limit ourselves that way we are the problem and don't know it. Just let the RV happen in any way it wants to happen. We don't need to care or look for the details of how our desires manifest. WE are better served by concentrating on the feeling and the positive energy of the larger picture. Then the RV will just happen as it happens and we are not ....."focused" .....on lack and failure when certain details don't manifest.
Asking for particular details or events to unfold for something to happen in our life is a very limiting way of existing and it is how the Cabal wants you to believe reality operates. If you catch on to this trick that has been played on you.....you are free to go. To go experience the RV.........all the rest of the slow pokes who still want Lack can play in negativity all they want and they can say nothing is true. And so ........."SOBEIT".........
Where have you heard that line?.........Yeah...... many can stay in not getting the RV because they themselves are saying through Free Will that it is not real and that it is a .....lie. So when you say it is all a lie and that it is not real..........Then YOU manifest exactly what you have asked for. You are praying for just that. What you have prayed for will then manifest for you. Managing your thoughts is a prayer, is it not?
And your prayers are always answered as you have asked for them. The problem is that you don't know that your prayers are always answered 100% all the time. The Universe never fails. You don't even fail. YOU just have to learn how the Universe operates.........that is all. Learn how to manifest or learn how to Pray correctly.
So everything is perfect now. The universe is operating perfectly. You just have to learn to manifest what you really want and not listen to......"lack thinking"......
Side note: I did have a dream in which OWK showed up last night. I went to visit him with someone else and he seems to be OK. A little fat and older. .......for what it is worth. I really don't remember much more, since there where other things going on and others where there also. I really got no explanation or clarity beyond that he is still apparently here, or where ever dreams happen.

Chemtrail contamination proofs
The speaker is Dr. Deidrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, one of my teachers and my heroes. I think that Moonchild has studied with him as well, and so has Olga. He is decades past what is otherwise available in the US, as far as medical treatments. He is sharing his experience pulling chemtrail toxins from people’s blood. A good introduction to the subject, and good analysis at a higher level of understanding as well. Amazing information, even for those of you who are familiar with this subject! Chemtrails, Aluminum, Glyphosate, and cell phone frequencies are all connected. Video, 32 min, English, German and French. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

ARTICLE 1-A (from PM Abadi's website; posted on both Arabic and English sides)
Prime Minister Dr. Haidar Al-Abadi announces an Iraqi vision for the future of the region based on development and security instead of differences and wars
October 21, 2017
Iraq and its difficult and successful experience in overcoming the threat of terrorism and division and its rise victorious and strong and united and the State and people of the view and the motivation of the sense of responsibility that the countries and peoples of the region have many challenges and common goals, and the need to put forward a comprehensive initiative with dimensions of development and economic basis, Our countries and peoples on a sound and lasting basis according to the following bases:
First, the conflicts in the region have not only brought our peoples destruction and backwardness, they have caused a massive drain on human and natural potential and the loss of opportunities for development and progress.
To extinguish these destructive conflicts and bloodshed and to stop interventionist policies to fuel conflicts is the right rule and the only alternative to a new era of cooperation and building.
It is wrong for the countries of the region to consider their interests in isolation from the interests of others. Our vision is to work jointly to build our interests and economies in a complementary manner without being isolated from one another. As conditions have proved that security is integral, so can the economy, development, Without getting up together, all development and stability projects will falter.
Our group of efforts must be added to each other as an added sum to all of us.
Secondly, we seek to establish lasting, deep and well-established relations among our peoples, and not to restrict them to the relationship between governments because the relationship between peoples ensures the stability of relations in the face of political transformations.
Thirdly, we must give a great glimmer of hope to the youth and not to be left to the prey of terrorism and deviant thought and intruder who exploits their energies in a negative direction and moves them from the moat of construction to the trench of murder and destruction.
Giving hope instead of despair through programs that provide employment opportunities to young people through rehabilitation and productive projects gives tremendous strength and momentum to the reform of societies.
Fourth: The agreement on a comprehensive development program and the optimal use of energies is the right alternative under fair policies based on citizenship and equality of rights and duties without discrimination. In addition to development projects at the national level, it is necessary to work and coordinate the advancement of the region as a whole, where security, peace and well-being can not be achieved if the gap between rich and poor peoples remains large.
Fifth: The preoccupation of the countries of the region to conflicts among themselves and not to invest their resources in an optimal manner marginalized its role locally and globally.
We believe that we must work seriously for the countries of our region to have a voice and influence in decision-making at all levels of the world and in order to make the world safer and more just.
