The US embassy denies the authenticity of the message sent to the owners, and explodes a
surprise of a large caliber!
The US embassy in Baghdad denied sending a message to the leader of the State of Law coalition, former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, ending with a debate sparked by the politician Izzat Shabandar when he published a message in both Arabic and English, claiming that he had received it from a party affiliated with the American embassy, and many people did not view this message with certainty Because of the loss of confidence between the Iraqi citizens and the beetroot.
But al-Maliki’s entry on the line, where he supported his friend Shabandar to receive such a message gave the topic importance, and put on it some credibility among some, but the slackness and fragility of the English language in which the letter was written, which made some doubt a thousand times that it was written in an American pen, and that All Shiite leaders did not support receiving such a message, as well as being free of (the loco) of the American embassy, he discredited the message, and revealed the player as they say.
Therefore, the denial of the American embassy today has definitively resolved the matter, and the summer season is officially winter, as the Iraqis say, although it did not add to the Iraqis ’conviction that the message was correct, especially after its subject became a joke that bloggers address in their pages during the past two days.
Perhaps the surprise that emerged in the denial of the American embassy today is the relationship of Mr. Maliki to the American embassy, when a "diplomatic source" at the embassy said, "Mr. Maliki is a permanent ally of the United States of America from the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime until the moment and for now we need to send him a vague message." .
The American diplomat added, "We have supported former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki during his 8 years in the rule of Iraq, and we will continue to support him, and what has been raised about a message from the American ambassador in Baghdad came as we believe to press for the Ministry of Interior to obtain his brother-in-law, Yasser Abdel-Sakhil. Al-Maliki, and this internal Iraqi affair is left to the new assigned official.

5-6-2020 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Iran apparently decided to delete 4 zeros today and introduce the Toman as the new currency. This took parliament approval and is a LOP. Very similar to what has been discussed with Iraq. This is not a RV/RI but a neutral event. We do not want to see Iraq do this...In fact, we have seen several articles in Iraq talk about parliamentary approval. Therefore, we know that is what the CBI is also considering. Parliamentary approval is not needed for traditional monetary policy.
5-5-2020 Intel Guru Delta ...It looks like the Iraqi Stock Exchange did jump about 1000% for the month of February. Meaning the value of the stocks...and it looks like the IQD, jumped in value for some reason. Question "If that is the case why do we not see that reflect on the ISX when they opened?" Very good question...the Iraqi Stock Exchange does not have to show the true index until they go international...
5-5-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...the news was all over the place as Iraq tried to pin down a date to vote on the new Al-Kazimi government line-up. So right now as it stands they did not yet take a vote in parliament and it will come down to...very close to the deadline day of May 7th. So we hear today they plan to vote on Wednesday. Article quote: "The Presidency of the House of Representatives decided to hold a voting session on the ministerial program and the government cabinet on Wednesday, 6/5/2020 at nine in the evening." Let’s see if they actually do it. Finally…
5-5-2020 Intel Guru MarkZ [via PDK] I know there is lots of chatter/rumors ...that things are all done…all the codes have been entered…the exchanges have started…. From Reno contact last night…they are prepared but have not started yet…. I spoke with a contact at a redemption center and they are in place. There are a few people in centers to keep the lights on while the rest wait for the “go ahead” …They are all prepared so we are close. We just have to wait for the “go”... There is a lot of smoke and lots of rumors and lots of leaks…they may be purposely putting it out there…so until we officially can go…try not to get to worked up just yet...we are close…
5-5-2020 Newshound Guru Jeff ...they've told us they're going to vote on the government tomorrow. They've also told us they would do it Thursday. It may be a one or two day session of parliament. We'll have to see how that unfolds and occurs...
5-5-2020 Newshound Guru Pimpy ...I told you guys this week's gonna be big. Not only are we gonna find out whether or not Al-Kazemi makes it in as P.M. and his cabinet gets voted or whether he fails and the President has the right to dissolve Parliament...this could be an exciting week...between tonight and tomorrow all the parliament members are going to be arriving to vote. The rumor is that he's going to get about 75% of the votes...
5-5-2020 Intel Guru RayRen98 From our citizen contact...USA sends important message to the Parliament of Iraq via USA ambassador to Iraq saying do not fail to form the government of Kazemi. If failure happens, USA will do whatever it needs to protect and take care of the Iraqi people.
