Three events rocked Iraq
December 25, 2019
Dr.. Fateh Abdul Salam
Three major and articulated events that marked the history of Iraq in sixteen years. No one can write history The country is in the twenty-first century, except to stop there, investigation and meditation.
The first great event is the American occupation of Iraq in 2003, in a precedent that no country in the world faced Since World War II, when Nazi Adolf Hitler folded the country after another, it was under tank escorts His armies.
The second great event is the fall of a third of Iraq in the hands of ISIS, especially the group’s occupation of Mosul 2014 for three years, and the countless sacrifices that followed Humans and stone and the consequences are still continuing and devastating.
The third major and qualitative event is the Iraqi uprising that springs from the heart of Baghdad and spreads across the south of the country Under practical and spontaneous slogans, they undermine all the positions of the political authorities that have ruled Iraq for a decade and a half From a time full of surgeries, pain, deterioration, injustice, corruption and backwardness.
And the reason for the greatness of this event is not because it forces a prime minister to resign and contributes to changing the compass Another choice is from the depth of the political process, but the fact that it revealed a high level of authentic Iraqi patriotism Confident, patriotic, will ensure that a new path for Iraq toward a future can be invented for the corrupt people and the killers. The
After all that, politicians who are born, brought up and raised in anxious external incubators come and then move to incubator. Premature birth control In the Green Zone for many years, and today they want very easily to trample with their feet on the will of the Iraqi people, He had equal death and life in a country where hope was lost.
This is an uncontrolled path towards a new Iraq that millions sought sixteen years ago and has not been fulfilled There is something of it, and the time has come for the truth to appear, despite the fact that the price is expensive, and perhaps it will be in The coming months are much more expensive.

So I want to see them put a non-Iranian P.M. And then I want to see them start the 2020 budget...as far as I'm concerned those are the only two things I'm worried about right now to know that we're on track...we have to see how it plays out...

IMO they told us they want to use 1 American dollar to 1 Iraqi dinar. That's wonderful. That's a good start...IMO 1 to 1 is not going to cover 160 Trillion 2020 budget...
12-24-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan 11) [Guru] Delta posted articles from the past defining the process and when the process is likely to play out. A rate change is only once a year and around the end or first part of the fiscal year. ...So the rumor that this could go out to March, per the CBI is unfounded...I am fairly confident there is nothing supporting there is anything from the CBI stating they are going to postpone or delay this process. ...Personally, we are in one heck of a window, imo!

12-24-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru Frank26 ...IMO it is the situation now that the recalculation of the rate they want to use for the 2020 budget worked. IMO they told us they want to use 1 American dollar to 1 Iraqi dinar. That's wonderful. That's a good start...IMO 1 to 1 is not going to cover 160 Trillion 2020 budget...
12-24-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan 11) [Guru] Delta posted articles from the past defining the process and when the process is likely to play out. A rate change is only once a year and around the end or first part of the fiscal year. ...So the rumor that this could go out to March, per the CBI is unfounded...I am fairly confident there is nothing supporting there is anything from the CBI stating they are going to postpone or delay this process. ...Personally, we are in one heck of a window, imo!

12-24-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan 9) The CBI has a board of directors for Monetary Policy produce a video that orders the CBI to finish monetary reforms and they accepted those orders. A very BIG clue they are going to increase the exchange rate. In fact, the translation per [Guru] Delta talks of coins.. That is another massive supporting piece of evidence from the horses mouth. 10) From my understanding there may have been recent contact directly from Dr. Shabibi over the prior couple weeks. If true, then another slice is on the plate. [post 4 of 5....stay tuned]
12-24-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan 5) ISX is said to be shutting down and purportedly to be international and opening with NASDAQ 01/02/2019... ISX has rules on value of shares when opening. Sub penny stocks to make muster. If true, it is another supporting slice of pie. 6) The Iraq Trade Bank in Saudi Arabia is and or has been on record of suggesting they'll open now early next year. Per [Guru] Delta that is a recent change. imo. 7) The Citizens are not shutting down from their demands and they mean business too. 8) USA showed up and is helping in that regard.

12-23-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan 3) The CBI shows large out put of money allocations over this last year of about 6-7 million a month for currency printing. As of 3-60 days ago the CBI shows a very large increase in allocations as much as 3-4x as much per month over a two month period. The take away there is minting coins is more expensive than paper printing. This too supports a rate change is to come. imo A strong one too. imo. 4) There was a recent Debt payment of $20 billion that was paid. Thus, a clue as to how high a rate change could be supported. Less debt = more value, imo.. A supporting piece of the puzzle as well. [post 2 of 5....stay tuned]
