2-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready About the only thing Trump has ever said is that prosperity is coming. Just as Bill Clinton never mentioned Kuwait in public, I doubt that Trump will ever mention The Iraq RV in public….. There are ...people who made good money from the Kuwait revaluation, but it was never announced in public.
2-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I do find is weird how the CBI has NOT given us an update on the “project to delete the zeros” for over three months. They normally give us an update each month. So we can expect one soon. We know for a fact that the CBI has already contracted with a German firm to print the smaller category notes. Also the coins are already stamped are waiting for distribution. So this is VERY close. What are they waiting for to finally launch the reinstatement? I believe it is political stability (get govt fully formed) and the elimination of the harmful Iranian influence (in the govt matters). [post 2 of 2]

2-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...It is like we are in a holding pattern, ready for takeoff but just not yet. The CBI has not given any indication whatsoever of targeting a reinstatement this week or any day soon. But we know it is waiting in the wings. I am waiting to see how this all plays out with the completion of the election process. We know from a recent article that completing his process is VERY important for the CBI as it can demonstrate STABILITY or INSTABILITY, depending on what direction it takes. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-4-2019 Newshound Guru ChrisC ...the Dec 30 date...I don't believe he [Guru Frank26] haphazardly threw that out there. I have been following Frank for years and he has never pinned himself down to a date and time like that and I think it bears a lot of attention. He wouldn't have given that date and time if it wasn't real, but I think we should be asking ourselves why they did that but haven't revealed it yet. We HAVE to be sitting right on top of this, but I don't know what they are holding for, and based on what we think we know about IMF rules, more important ...can they continue to delay the reveal and if so, for how long?
2-4-2019 Intel Guru ADMINBILL ...THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO VIEW WHY WE HAVE NOT SEEN THIS COME TO FRUITION YET...IT REMAINS MY OPINION THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A SELECT FEW THAT BEGAN A PROCESS SEVERAL YEARS AGO THAT AIMED AT PROTECTING THE POTENTIAL OF DOING GOOD WHILE SLOWLY OVERCOMING EVIL PEOPLE AND GAINING THE UPPER HAND. IT APPEARS THE GOOD GUYS HAVE SUCCEEDED BUT THE "PROCESS" HAS BEEN LONG AND PAINFUL AND WILL END. PERHAPS SOON.
2-4-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...I've been on hold all week regarding this HCL news. It hasn't fallen through, and that means it's possibly going through...With any luck, this HCL news is going to materialize...Fingers crossed!
2-3-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready This may not hit forex until after we exchange. So, each bank could have a different rate. And the rate could vary from one customer to another. We will have to see what happens. This is why Ray [Guru RayRen98] said to wait a couple of days, so we can see which banks have the best rates.

The presidency of parliament is not compatible with the removal of US troops from Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq - February 4: The declared positions of the conflicting positions of the Presidency of the Parliament on the law of the removal of US forces.
"Iraq still needs the efforts of the international community in the fight against terrorism, which is contrary to the position of his deputy, Hassan al-Kaabi, his deputy for the alliance of the others.
Halaboussi said in a statement today that "his country still needs the efforts of the international community in the fight against terrorism, and fulfill its obligations to Iraq and support his government."
"The Iraqi parliament will work in coordination with Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi to know the actual need for foreign forces."
This comes hours after US President Donald Trump announced the maintenance of a US military base in Iraq so Washington could watch Iran.
"One of the reasons we want to keep US troops is because we want to watch Iran somehow because Iran is a real problem," Trump said in an interview with CBS.
"We deplore US President Donald Trump's statement on the extension of the US presence in Iraq and justify it by monitoring neighboring countries," said House Speaker Hassan al-Kaabi.
He added: "Everyone has the responsibility to act urgently; to end the US presence, and not to allow Iraq to be a launching pad for aggression or control of any state."
He stressed that "the House of Representatives will work during the next legislative term, to enact a law that includes the termination of the security agreement with America, as well as the termination of the presence of trainers and advisers American and foreign military in Iraqi territory."
Observers believe that the Trump is actually directed to Iran and not to the Iraqis; to prevent Iranian expansion in regional countries, as well as the speed of response if needed. Finished (1)

Sources: Marines encircle an area in Deir al-Zour, which includes ministers and leaders of Dahesh
DER EL-ZOUR, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) - Syrian forces on Monday announced that a US Marines force was being surrounded by a group of top-level leaders in a sympathetic organization.
The statements of leaders of Syrian forces backed by Washington, that "a special US force fully trained with the Syrian Democratic forces besieged a residential area about 7 kilometers in the outskirts of Deir al-Zour, on the Iraqi-Syrian border, hiding a group of leaders urging adults."
The sources speculated that "five of the ministers of the so-called Badash, in addition to the official of the organization and other leaders, are present in this narrow area and asked the Americans to negotiate and open a way for them to cross into Iraq or Turkey, but the Americans rejected this and their choice between surrendering or killing."
She pointed out that "Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the organization, was seen two weeks ago in this region, but was not sure whether it is present or not."
"All the entrances to Deir al-Zour are completely closed, but the presence of civilians intensely impedes progress," she said.
"Iraqi intelligence is hunting down al-Baghdadi and we believe he is not staying in one place for more than a day," said Abu Ali al-Basri, director general of intelligence at the Iraqi Interior Ministry. We have information that he is still moving from cities in Syria and enter the Iraqi border through Anbar province, while moving along the province of Salah al-Din. "
"The most recent estimates for this year reported that al-Baghdadi remained particularly involved in the cities and villages of the eastern border of Syria and most of his movements take place between the areas of the Syrian hybrid city and Al-Hasaka," Basri said. "There is a belief that the hidden leader is resorting to masquerading as unconventional, So as not to remain under constant surveillance. "
Basri said that "the last two people met al-Baghdadi, are Ismail al-Issawi, a member of the educational committee in the organization of Dahesh, Jamal Al-Mashhadani, a leader in the organization of a preacher in Kirkuk." (1)
