Two Teams, One Vision Working Together arriving at the same place for the Dinar Community

HIGHLIGHTS GOVERNMENT

LJ'S Next Step Team and The IQD Team Round Table Discussion bringing more great research, analysis and discussion (Highlights below..listen to the call for the entire discussion...GREAT STUFF)

Topics:

The Memorandum of Understanding July 18

How things have changed since the 17th
Tony Blinken from the US ...The most important thing is at that same time Tony Blinken from the US and the MOU was signed...don't think it was a coincidence to be done at the same time....

From that time July 17....the end effect is that the US made efforts to kick this into gear and it has been effective....things have changed..

MOU supported the Central Bank more than it supported the Central Government as opposed to what Shabibi has been talking about getting the private sector started....that was real juice to the Central Bank with that MOU being there ..not a coincidence being done at the same time...net effect of those things a push to help to get things going...

USAID and their Role

ISRAR (Iraq Solution For Regulatory and Administrative Reform) and The Guillotine TM in Iraq - A Regulatory Reform Tool being used since 2011 as a 1st step for a country to be able to reform and progress fast thru old laws...used to speed up laws being passed and cut thru the red tape - implemented in 2011 ....what normally would take decades can be accomplished in months....
Now it is tied together in the MOU announced on July 18 officially launching the ISRAR Project - ISRAR will review and eliminate unnecessary regulations that hinder business and private investment. Implementation of these reforms will send a clear message to the international community that Iraq is rapidly creating a new economic foundation.   ISRAR is just a number of projects sponsored by the US Embassy under auspices of the Strategic Framework Agreement, to support efforts by the Government of Iraq to strengthen the private sector.

Read more about it here

Discussion about the the distribution of the 25% of the cash surplus for the Iraqis and lack of payment and its effects on the Iraqi people,
Budgets, supplemental budget and what they would need this for and its importance, giving it to them post or Pre RV and its effects on the people in Iraq when they receive it, people playing with numbers while Iraqis are starving, Article 140 & HCL, and more

Bottom line is "sign the 140 and Erbil and all this goes away"

They are working some plan over there and this is moving on their plan sooner than later...Have the support of USAID, ISRAR Guillitone things moving forward quickly

Following the Bouncing Talabani....President Talabani receives President of the Supreme Judicial Council at his residence in Germany
We just need him to come back....Germany or Iraq...who knows where he is...this Justice went over late June ...he was in Arizona for a conference in Phoenix - he stayed there til July 1 and we can't find where he returned to Iraq...no trace where he returned.....We know Talabani is out there...hidden for a reason...we would really like to see him show up somewhere soon....His country is in turmoil...sitting and waiting for him to return.....timing thing because as soon as anybody sees Talabani we will should see the National Meeting....until they are ready we will not see him....pretty strategic plan to get him out of the way til they are ready...can't wait much longer...As soon as we see him In Iraq everyone will have expectations

Two perfect storms moving in the same direction....
CBI needs to get some things done...already talking about the new budget wanting to be in the new dinars AFTER the deleting of the 3 zeroes which obviously implies that there is going to be some sort of value increase for that time....they are running against so many barriers going on....you have the tariffs that really need to come into play which helps with the WTO...Once everything drops into place we will see things take off at light speed one right after the other...THe RV occurs...you get WTO, all the items on the checklist we have been watching for will get done one after the other once the RV happens ...and the floodgates will open

CBI/ECONOMY

"Finance parliamentary reveal five to seven models for the new currency"

We have seen good things about them starting to talk about Reform and their role in starting committees for these things that need to be passed very quickly, things to get done to support the economy....I think they are starting to get an understanding of the value that is going to be added and I believe to a certain degree it scares them because I kinda eluded to it before government loses alot of power when the people get money and add more value and things become more important...job of what the government does to maintain that becomes more important and people notice it because it starts to effect things negatively ...
Going from 1166 to 1200 in your currency is less felt when you are at $2.00 per dinar and it fluctuates down 2-4% that gets felt in the economy
Trying very hard to get these things done...
Shabibi has said we really want to do a managed float with this currency and really what that does is protects the economy from outside influences and protects the economy from outside fluctuations - they don't have to worry about the price of inflation or the dollar.
If you really want to see how this is done and what it looks like you can go to the Kuwait Central Bank website and you can see how they list their currency now that it is a managed float over there and the description they put out...they have one rate now managed and everybody gets the same rate - based on that basket of currencies that they have and that is how they list it....its very much for the stability of the country.....you have to have your economic policies in place when you are ready to go

Shabibi has been working feverishly ...2nd meeting we have seen him going to with the Finance Committee and he has been doing that very quickly in the last 2-3 weeks...he is moving forward over...he is developing the private sector....he really needs this Finance Committee to get on board so that they can start getting these regulations passed for the banks and they can start letting this economy open up...its like a balloon - once this opens up and they RV-the amount of money that will be coming in to the banking system for projects is going to be HUGE...you see people coming in on a regular basis - they have NO intentions of using dollars - they have every intention in using their own money

"Presidency of the parliament was discussing with the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Central Bank of the development of monetary policy"

How important was this meeting today?? We had two newspapers one with more info than the other....the importance of what happened and to put the clarity that Nujaifi came in and I like what they said...had to explain to these guys what your position is...Guys stop it with what you think you know.....they got taken to the woodshed...best example...they came out with the understanding they are going to study the laws to be done...This was a VERY IMPORTANT MEETING in this whole piece that happened today..the articles kinda pulled it together
If you want a positive thing that happened today it was this Meeting- the quicker that these laws can be done and the Finance Committee gets what their role is the quicker that all the i's and t's get crossed and dotted so that they can move forward with their economy...Remember juggling lots of balls for the RV but from an economic standpoint its a very complex set of things that really have to happen
We all joke and everybody hears the gurus say just press the button and wonder who is in charge...all the conspiracies China etc etc but Shabibi is in charge of the whole orchestra...but what he is in charge of is not just pressing the button - he is in charge of infusing his new economy with life...the lifeblood of any economy is commerce....injection of loaning money..it has to do with creating jobs...creating financing projects so the banks work hand in hand with building that....if you loan money to the projects you start employing people..all this starts to happen to get more money...they put their money into the banks...banks loan more...all fractional banking...you start to see that circle go..people get going...they get paid more they get raises...they in turn become entrepeneurs and start their own company...start filling the needs inside their own economy for things that are missing - entrepeneurial people start coming in
We talk about USAID being there seeding these people with cash and capital to move them forward to give some lifeblood to this economy
You seed with some entrepeneurs...banks into a system...
Now you don't want anything to block it like a labor law that says regardless of whatever if you start this project you can only hire Iraqi people...problem with that is we want to do the job but I have to bring in trainers to train the Iraqi people but the labor laws say no I have to hire 60% Iraqis regardless....these people are poor -they need jobs ...you have to get them going…...you as a laborer say I can't hire these people...I can't teach them to pour cement..I have to bring trade people in to teach them how to do this, learn the trade and do whatever they can to help them build these projects

You need the laws in place to open up so they understand its okay and they will be protected when they go to the WTO..they will be protected with these other organizations that will come in and help allay any fears that the have of people being taken advantage ...it all fits hand in hand.
There is NOT one event that is going to make this RV happen
Not one person who knows ahead of time that this will happen
Not one banking person other than Shabibi that knows what is happening and all of the pieces that are going thru - they may have an inclination it is going to happen like we do...they may think it is close and do all of this other stuff and they can speculate on all of that..But Watch the economy grow..watch things grow...this is going to happen....when you look back hindsight is going to be 20/20
PRETTY IMPORTANT MEETING THAT HAPPENED TODAY..We had about 205 reps so we had the The full Finance Committee probably there...GREAT SIGN FOR US....lets see what kinda action we will see in the Gazette with the laws that need to be passed

RECAP LJ's NEXT STEP TEAM
Light news day but at the same time we have now an idea of the differences between who is really making things move...who is the catalyst behind things moving…..US govt giving them some help...
We found they are still going to question Maliki
Excited that Sadr finally came out and said you guys are making money and you are not sharing the money ... whats the deal?
moving forward we just need to let it play out...hate saying that but it is the truth...moving ON towards the NEXT STEP

And there you have it...

The IQD Team plus LJ's Next Step Team
Two Teams, One Vision Working Together arriving at the same place for the Dinar Community

LJ'S Next Step Team brings some great research, analysis and discussion about their research today about The Memorandum of Understanding and USAID - Very excited today because we were thinking it was a very slow dead end news day and then we looked and dug a little deeper at what we initially thought we read to determine what was MEANT to be read it..IT CHANGED THINGS and now we can see things a little bit differently from 5 days ago and what progess we have made and why we are not seeing as much as we used to see so when we share it with you we think you will have a better understanding of why we think we are in a better situation than we were at Noon Pacific time....researched the agreement and the man behind it...Alexander Dickie, Mission Director..who has been there since August 2010.....more than likely present in the meeting about the Erbil Agreement and shared several news articles that tie it together...Listen to recording for all the great information and research shared..

"U.S. Embassy and the Office of the Prime Minister sign a cooperation agreement for administrative reform in the country"

Signed the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad today by the U.S. Agency for International Development [USAID] Memorandum of Understanding with the Office of the Prime Minister outlines support for U.S. efforts to alleviate the Iraqi administrative obstacles in the Iraqi private sector and in line with the strategic framework agreement.

And the "implementation of these reforms will send a clear message to international business that Iraq is laying the foundations of a new economic at a fast pace."

Alexander Dickie, Mission Director
Dr. Alexander Dickie was appointed USAID’s Mission Director for Iraq in August 2010. He previously was the Director of USAID’s Middle East/Iraq (ME/IR) Office in Washington, DC, and was responsible for the management of USAID’s programs supporting the efforts to rebuild Iraq and assist the transition to stability and democracy.

Odai Awad: There is a consensus to approve the oil and gas law
There is the 2007 agreement and there is the 2011 agreement...what 2011 agreement?...At the beginning of this year they rushed thru another version of this Oil & Gas Law....I call this the Signing of the Contracts Law just to clarify...2007 when you go back and you tie into what LJ talked abut tonight and everybody moving together with the original intent of what was signed back in 2010 - part of what was signed in 2010 was this 2007 agreement on the Oil & Gas..this is how the contracts will be signed and how the money is going to be split...This is what the Kurds have been working off of...They know it is constitutional..it was written by people who know its beneficial to them
as well as Maliki and Baghdad - it gives everybody enough money and it gives enough authority to the regions to do what they need to do.....to be a little bit autonomous...basically they get to negotiate it and they sign off on it or earmark these things and they jsut do the formalities..pass them and take their percentages and go
All comes back to what we talked about before...You see how in the end the Kurds get a bit more of the benefit because they are part of the largest population....they add a lot to the oil production so therefore because of that they get treated a little bit better and if you are Maliki and you don't want all of this to happen these are the blocks..this is what has been putting people in the way...So they are ready to go...
I will go on the theme tonight with LJ and the NEXT STep Team...something has changed very dramatically because we have seen the rheurotic change and drop in the government
we can see these things that were brought to you today that really make us think we need to keep a close eye on things..

Recap of tonights news Discussion and Analysis
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed after each news article listed below)

Recap: CBI/Economy - Straight Talkin Mike
CBI is done....CBI is done...CBI is done
They need no more information to go ahead and get the currency going
Remember to watch out for articles coming from The Finance Committee - they don't have any power over this - they wish they did

We talked about the Hilton and the Sports Complex- countries ready to come in and invest - they are still there and they are NOT pulling out which means the situation is becoming stable - we hear international...international all the time - when LJ does his recap you are going to hear a little bit about why we are having that push...they are ready- it is time now to get the parties together - time to stop the bickering - time to start moving forward - and its time to Let Dr Shabibi do his stuff - we need everybody to be quiet to let that happen as far as the Finance Committee goes...no more leaking information they get ahold of that they think is juicy because they want an advantage over this or that - time to stop scaring the people inside the country with this change and know that it is coming...let it come and let Shabibi work his magic...THE CBI IS READY....

Recap: Government LJ's Next Step Team
LJ:   Everything is working together for an eventual climax of allowing Shabibi to act...
We have been wondering what the government is doing for a little bit of time and wondering why they haven't made the steady paced advantage we would like to see them make it
This is a paving of the way of democracy there....last thing I want to say is we have to be patient.....of course we do....I have been patient and I know many don't want to wait anymore..and Neither do I...but we have to let this play out and be patient....we have been looking for a needle in a haystack for you guys and we share with each other what we find thru the News to figure out what is going on...Don has been tearing this apart all day as well....I can bring something to Don and he always tears it apart first and try to find the areas of concern and find the common ground to share with you
Today we learned about Alex Dickie and how instrumental he is helping countries do what they do...we know that agriculture is going to be a big part of the area of revenue for Iraq...tourism as Mike talked about on the last call....Of course oil everybody knows that - so the different sectors of business there has to be an understanding from the government down....has to be a top down system where the govt understands how to manage it and if this guy Dickie is not only instrumental in helping them with democracy and stability but also brings his business sense where he can show them how they can maximize their resources so that they can make the most out of them.....what better guy to have sitting over in the Embassy with his wife to help them accomplish that...its about trying to figure out what is going on what was going on with that MOU and find out why it was so important and to inform all of the listeners out there that we need to understand these things because on a slow news day like today...we might as well learn something....We are not going to get an RV today...so lets learn something new that helps us build on what where we are trying to go...
And that is what we did.....We see an attitude of cohesiveness....we see them trying to work together....and bridging the gaps that they have...they have them....they know it is not going to be perfect...they all know they have to give a little to get a whole lot.....because when they establish themselves the master plan will really set itself in place and these Syria, Iran issues they won't go away...you will still see issues with that and people who have their own agenda like Al Queda groups
But You are going to see a more unified and professional Middle East whereas they have kinda been in disarray ....I think What happens in Iraq will set the tone for what will happen in the region and it will have world implications as well and all of us from America to Germany to Japan and China and all of the other Brics nation all will be converging on Iraq to be apart of whats going on there....everybody wants to make money and they are going to be spending it pretty soon

What we felt like we found today is a Gentlemen who is over their who is instrumental in showing them the way and hopefully he is one who can do so without being abrupt or having any type of arrogance
that people always seem to think the Americans have....and do what he is capable of doing and what he has done for the last 20 years

Arthur: Very important what you said LJ.....we are looking at a country that is forming a democracy..a fledging democracy...and it was put together a Plan.. a Strategic Framework Plan was put together by Dickie and the others with the others with that plan ..democracy right there in that region that could be like a shining example of democracy for the rest of the other countries...you look at Libya...Syria...Egypt in turmoil right now - they will be looking for a model and that is one of the reasons we haven't seen an RV yet because as the model is supposed to...as a kid you were taught you cant have any candy until you clean up your room....we are watching Iraq clean up their room - they are getting a little help to clean it up since last week but they are cleaning up the room and when they get thru doing that...thats when Shabibi will give the go ahead to move ahead with the currency and match the stability we can see in the country

When you read the MOU you see words like fast paced....they are going to get this done to remove all of the obstacles that we have seen that have impeded there ability for them to become the democracy they need to be to show the stability that they need to see....if you look at the American dollar its a fiat currency but what it is backed by is the stability of US....stability of our country makes our dollar what it is...same thing for Iraq...they have the oil...now they just need the stability...They are fast paced to get there and in my opinion as this MOU and the help they are getting and the way they themselves know it is time to stop bickering and get this big economic powerhouse on the road we are going to probably see fast track heading to the National Meeting with Talabani calling and get us everything we want and the blessing we and Iraq deserve for all of the time we have been in this

Discussion about how we break apart the news and work together as two teams who want to get to the truth and share it with our listeners....Great discussion.....
One particular guru said the news is not true and there is nothing in the news - don't waste your time.....
The news articles have meaning and there are good people who really work for a living to bring us the news....To say the news articles don't hold any weight...have no merit and have no validity and we still havent rv'd yet I think we will take the news over the guy who has called it every day for the last year...

What a great call.......Must listen to.....

And there you have it...

Recap of tonights news Discussion and Analysis
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed after each news article listed below)

Highlights CBI/Economy

"Cabinet agrees to accept the instruments of private banks $25 million, rather than 5 million"
Banking system being able to issue Letters of Credit...financing..we talk about the small little laws that need to be approved and the regulations that need to be approved for the banking sector
This is one of those that is just fantastic...because who needs a performance bond for $20,000...did you catch that? Its talking about dinars..not dollars...found this interesting - if you have a currency that revalues and you then start talking about 25 million versus 5 million dollar projects...
lets just say if it does it at $1.00 then then it makes much more sense to you ...so this is one of those pre-regulations that they are putting in that makes sense on a revalued currency - even if it does it at $3.00 - that would be 75 million outside dollars to the 25 million dinar dollars...it makes sense...and then it talks about the banks guaranteeing this....this really blew me away today because I am looking for laws to be passed on the CBI side from the government - and this is the Cabinet that is passing this..already made its way thru Parliament has the approval and is now enacted...It shows you that things are going on during Ramadan...things are getting done...

"Shabibi announce the selection of British and German companies for the printing of the currency after you delete the zeros of which"
Some great quotes from the article..
Shabibi and explained that the main reason in the process of deletion of zeros Due to the economic stability experienced by the country and the ability of the large cash at the bank Central.

And on the currency auction Shabibi between the operation as a window to enter the Foreign currency and raise the value of Iraqi dinar.

During the meeting, discuss the latest Developments reached by the Central Bank in the subject to delete the zeros and replacing the national currency The policy followed in the completion of this process...

The meeting also discussed the issue of Controls adopted in the auction currency and the volume of the money supply.

Great stuff shared by Mike.....CBI is all on board...they have read the Future of Iraq Project...FOI project has to do with the economic side....Shabibi is worried about the economics...would he love to have a great government thats all for the future of his people...Yes he would...but what is more worried about is the economic future of his people and that differs...he is not there to pick the people who are in office...he is not there to give his approval to the people in office...he is there to do what he needs to do and get it done....so that when his term is over he can say what he was sent there to do which was to build the economy..get the new currency going..and get it RV'd to the point where they have viable economic circumstances and then someone is going to come in and take it to the next level...real simple from his side....what they didn't tell him along the way is that he was going to have a government that would fight him every step of the way....
and thats been the biggest difference - why you see him time and time again probably moving a little faster now because there are alot of things he would like to get done...he wants this to be a 2 yr process and if his term ends in 2014 hes got two years so he really can't expect much more delay from the things he wants to do...if he wants to pull this off and have his economy going - there seems to be a sense of urgency from the Central Bank that we have seen past month and 1/2..they are just moving forward

Stock market: the end of dependence on a sophisticated system to encourage trading
Arthur from LJ's Next Step Team....Great article....in order to be the country that we know Iraq is going to be they have to have a robust stock exchange....these stock systems around the world need sophisticated technology - Preparations in the final stages...usually when we see this it is already in place..finished and they are just testiong....This will put them in the global international financial market to gain that access to the intl stock market They will have to be traded on Forex - to do that obviously you need a tradeable viable currency which we know they are going to have....having this advance system will attract funds and investors in order to raise the volume commensurate with the aspriations of the countrys economic revival that they are going to experience - amazing for us to see - putting all of these systems in place..they need these systems in place in order to have a robust stock market....to get this it has to be a revalued currency ..it has to be coming very soon because they are putting systems in place for this to go...one more step in the process

Again they are talking about international markets...every time we read articles over the last 3 weeks they are talking about on an international level....great stuff...

Government...Round Table Discussion about all of the Government articles with Arthur & DON from LJ's Next Step Team and Straight Talkin Mike The IQD Team....listen to the great discussion and analysis of the incredible articles shared tonight

RECAP

Great news night.....if you missed it go back and listen to the recording because there was some great juicy news discussed and read tonight....especially on the political side...one of those nights where we started the news night not knowing where it was going to take us...took us to some very positive stuff going on...some positive movement ....status quo has changed...things moving forward quickly

CBI.....there was an article that talked about the implementation of tariffs...designed to be a negative article but we gleaned some info from it about the political side kinda taking a jab at the political side - kinda getting them in order - the economic side is ready for the tariffs but the politcal side was not quite ready and not supporting the value of the dinar at this particular point in time- I would agree with that....that is probably right

We talked about the existence of the National Currency being effected by the political situation - telling us this political situation could affect the currency in a negative manner...gives a few reasons in the article and again we kinda back that up

Juicy article about the Cabinet agreeing to let private banks lift their loan rates from 5 million to 25 million dinars...

We talked about the last 3 articles talking alot about being international and doing international business - word international used throughout all of the articles when they refer to the currency tonight and for the last 3 weeks

We discussed an article where it referred to the currency and we said great there are alot of banks that need to do things - this is one of those things that are regulations that are being implemented that are ready for the RV because 25 million 3 times..1 time...2 times...50-75 million......these are the type of projects you want your banks to loan money to...these are buildings downtown - these are condos homes all of those type of things - small businesses - those type of things...and things are being done...quite honestly alot of things are being done during Ramadan ..quite honestly alots of things getting done during Ramadan we were not sure what to expect but moving quite quickyl thru that

Talked about Shabibi going to the Finance Committee this week - he talked about having selecting the German and British company to complete the process of printing the new currency
We talked about Shabs is ready to go ahead and move forward - he needs absolutely nothing...and we also issued word of warning that usually when Shabs meets with The Finance Committee 3 days later you will always read 1 or 2 negative articles from the Finance Committee...he needs nothing from the government side to move straight ahead....pay no attention to the man behind the curtain if you see the negative article....it is usually put out there by Maliki....let other people run with it - you will not have to worry knowing everything is in place and ready to go

Arthur brought an article out about the Stock Market and the sophisticated things that are going to be implemented - international trading of the stock market - they don't do this for currency that does not have any value and have a program rate...

All of these articles lead us to believe that these are the things that need to be in place on the CBI side for him to increase his value and we start to see these more and more very day coming out of the CBI....CBI is ready to add value to their currency at some point in time...there maybe some sort of circumstances economically they are waiting for and they maybe waiting for some things to be cleared up on the political side...which brings us to the political side

House is meeting tomorrow to work....working during Ramadan....voting on 10 bills...they are working...there was a posting in the Gazette this morning...

Then we started into the juicy part of the news which was the reforms that are going on over there..

We talked about developments in Kurdistan....where Kurdistan was moving the oil and all of sudden Baghdad is ready to start talking - saying we are ready to go ahead implement Article 140..we are ready to talk to you and get these reforms done and move forward

We talked about National Alliance and Iraqiya List coming together for reform....Allawi all of sudden involved in the negotiations...Great article....on how they are moving forward with reform - how everybody is being included in these reforms..how they are very hopeful that these things are getting moved forward and that they are moving towards a Natl Conf with Talabani when he gets back and they hope to announce these things...
In the last few days the ministers out there being announced...seeing movement towards the 140...seeing some movement towards reform...they are talking about the Vote of No Confidence being off the board...as well as throwing Maliki out and now they are talking about negotiating...2-3 things that probably have forced this is the Kurds taking the oil out to turkey which forced Maliki to come to the negotiation table because thats all his money going out the back door - he's got to make sure he has that money...we have seen him put in election reform to limit his term limits which means he has a limited amount of time that he can still do anything he is trying to do - eventually that ends....so he knows that there is an ending point to him and other things with the election the last thing we will probably look for coming out the Natl Meeting which we probably won't hear too much about which will be some sort of reform for all the old things people have done wrong..amnesty law eventually once they all agree...

We had a great round table Government discussion....listen to the recording....We talked about some of the winners and losers in the govt side...Certainly as we have all agreed wasn't quite going to look like we thought it was...Things are moving forward...the status quo has changed and now people are negotiating...we keep a watchful eye for the implementation of these things..they are talking about time limits being put in here to put Malikis feet to the fire
For some reason everybody is ending up at this Reform table and that the people in charge are moving this project forward - and that they are getting the guarantees they need to make these people happy
not talking negatively toward each other at this part point in time
as much as they were 2-3 weeks ago....and there you have it...

What a great call.......Must listen to.....

And there you have it...

Recap of tonights news Discussion and Analysis
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed after each news article listed below)

Highlights ..

CBI/ECONOMY

Member: The Finance Committee will discuss with the Central Bank the possibility of connecting to a network of banks unified communications
Another article talking about the infrastructure being built of the banking systems…Modern banking systems being there…Finance Committee talking about the banking system telling us there is going to be an depth banking system there…..Again do you go thru all this trouble with a valueless currency?...
Sounds like they are getting the system ready for something to happen in the future that’s going to be a very viable baking system – we can’t say enough about whats going on with the CBI …day by day we read articles everyday we read something is in place or getting in place…another great article…
Obviously they will be using the banking systems in the future and using them a lot……and will have excess purchasing power soon..

Mike talks about how the people in Iraq will receive increased “purchasing power” when this RV occurs ...listen to the recording…

“Expectations of price stability of the dollar (1189) DT”
Talking about the internal currency rate in the country and keeping it stable ..you see these articles usually come out around the holidays...Just talking about keeping the stability in the rate because this is when he loses his stability in the rate …things that are going on that are not normal circumstances in the market like holidays like Ramadan...Remember we talk about the patterns…things we look for….have not seen an article like this in a long time….generally put out by Maliki because he wants the people to be aware of what they are paying for their dollars because he does not want to give them credibility…
Internal rate in the country and getting it stable…yes we want that done…want single window banking system where they all go to the bank to get it and they are working on it and doing a good job…we have not seen any major fluctuations in the currencies

Darraji: the next phase will see the great cooperation with the World Bank to finance projects of strategic
This is great – World Bank & Getting these roads built is so very important…..day in and day out we see more and more things important to Iraq….it only makes the economy stronger when you see these type of things Period

MoU between US Embassy, PM's Office drawing headlines of US support to Iraq
Strategic Framework Agreement…..we are supporting them in getting their infrastructure started….supporting them in getting their private sector running....this is what we should be doing as we move forward…its part of what we do when we rebuild other countries…another great article…and another one about the infrastructure and running and doing what it is supposed to do…it makes the wheels of the economy go round and round….making sure this will work and work well

CBE's / JD / shares of the banks of the daily dollar
CBI issues new regulations on currency allocations to banks
Mike talks about Syria....Iran…the other countries purchasing dinars and sending them back for dollars….Auctions…banking and new mechanisms to deal with them…..and understanding the process of what he is up against… It’s a concern for Shabibi and he wants to be sure he is doing it right and getting it right because if he gets it wrong it could be a lot of money in the hands of the wrong people……not only does he have his own people to worry about he has the international scene too…..when it is your neighbors you have to be extra careful…(listen to the recording for the analysis)

Iraqi currency change to take effect next year
Great article…explains the whole process and the pros and cons of the process from both sides without all the fear ...And all the gurus out there …are they listening to the other gurus…lol ???
This should give you some confidence on whats going on over there...
Why each side believes what they believe….its about thinking their economy is not ready to go….we have read articles every day how they are building the banking systems…building the economy…and we talked tonight about infrastructure getting built and building the roads – that’s what they are talking about in this article when they talk about the economy…some parts will move faster than others….but this economy will boom with the banking systems when they start using the banking systems which is one of the keys to that…..banking system will bring in monies from international – things to help them with the economy… Love this….

Did you hear the word redenomination in this article?   NO because that is NOT what is going to happen…they even talk about Turkey in this article…..we have always talked about Turkey and others opinions which we do not agree with… how that will NOT happen…
You have to look at this and put it in perspective and realize what is going on over there ...This is NOT the normal situation…..It’s a worn torn country that’s come out that is a new economy...
Never before has anyone gone in and taking the rate down artificially and then tried to build the infrastructure up again and revalue the currency…..So it is going to look a little different…its going to look a lot like a lot of different things that are out there….BUT it will be different because there will be little pieces of each they have to use in order to get it to go and that is why they talk about having these currencies co-exist….because it is NOT going to be something that is an going to be an absolute…they have to keep the people using it because of the economy….the economy needs to grow…you can not freak the people out….you can not give them less…..You can not do things that will produce instability in the currency and that is what this article is kinda saying underneath it all….Take the time to read this article and what’s going on and what they are going to do with it

As the government turns….
LJ’s Next Step Team…. not a lot to go over - all the same news from Tuesday...
“Status Quo”
You still have Maliki wanting reform and people out there complaining things are moving to slow....Talabani not back yet or he’s not around…he’s nowhere to be found…he maybe vacationing in Germany because it is too hot in Iraq and he wants to stay In Germany…....
The problem is they need to figure this out and with everything going on there going to figure it out a little slower that surer ...
Nothing is going to move too quickly because it has come to the forefront now - Because it is going to be something that Needs to get done...And When Talabani shows back up with whatever he is doing REFORM is the way they are wanting to do this...
I don’t think at this particular point in time that they want to get rid of Maliki in a very strong way – they are going to try to box him in – try to keep the term limits on and really going to just put the pressure on
You will still here about them calling for them…hearing more about a lot of happy about meetings to have meetings to discuss meetings…
A lot going on hidden behind the scenes - Will not have a lot of news coming from Iraq so don’t get concerned when you don’t…..we are going into Ramadan – news cycle will slow down…its about a 2-3 day cycle now…puts it out about a week…do not freak out when you don’t hear a lot of news right now…really by design…and it’s a Good time for them to go in and get a lot done and not have it reported in the news…..
Parliament will be working…they will be doing some things and getting there things done – Talking about Article 140 and Oil & gas – needs to get done but if we could sum it up with one word it would be “StatusQuo”…Nothing new and exciting…nothing old and unexciting…..exactly where we were over the last couple of days….just not much news coming out and until Talabani gets back we are just going to have to watch...wait and see….

RECAP CBI/ECONOMY

We talked about the unified banking system – still moving forward and hearing lots of good things about telephone banking, communications, and international banking….

Hearing things about stabilizing the internal rate so that they have one single window system where everybody buys their dinar …they pay the one price and everybody knows who is buying the dinar

We talked about the World Bank coming in to help with infrastructure

We talked about US signing some papers to help with the infrastructure

And then we talked about the different banks and how in the Coming Days they are going to be stricter and stricter on how they are going to put this out ...
This is a prime time NOW for Shabibi to get control of his money so that he realizes that when he RV’s this it is not going to be going to Syria, Iran ……that it all comes back to the economy of Iraq and he is able to make sure that even with his people around him that he can stabilize his currency and make sure it’s not being sucked back out and people are drawing out his dollars using that to trade to get an advantage in the world when they are not supposed to have one . He is working hard at that and it looks like he is making some in roads and I am anxious to see in the coming days as to what will actually happen

The CBI is ready …they are doing and defending each and every day
Be patient – it’s a process – its moving forward and we are happy with the process

And there you have it...

Recap of tonights news Discussion and Analysis
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed after each news article listed below)

Highlights GOVERNMENT

What a great call.......Must listen to.....

LJ, Don, Arthur & Mike analyize and discuss many news articles...discussion about The History of the Ministers and the 3 1/2 year game of these ministers which will open the doors to everything else happening.....Important of these two ministers and why they are important to the power sharing and what this country needs...why these are the two most important ministries of all the ministers....

Discussion about Article 140 and how important it is and where we believe it is

Discussion about Barzani forcing Malikis hand when he started dealing with Turkey and getting oil refined in Turkey

Talabani Watch and where we believe he is or is not.....something has to be happening behind the scenes.....why he chose to be out of the country until things have been completed...

Discussion about why they really want to do this with reform and why it is the right way to do this and not throwing the PM out..

Great information shared about a document "The Congressional Research Service" Iraq: Politics, Governance, and Human Rights

Discussion about what is the most important thing holding up this entire RV...the NCSP and now we hear about it in the Article of the Day....

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SEVERAL ARTICLES NOT READ:
1) Talabani and Maliki had a telephone conversation today - Maliki called Talabani to check up on him but he also said we want to stick to reform....Talabani said as soon as I return we will get this done

2) Barzani said we need to have the National Meeting NOW....ASAP....Maliki is calling for an extraordinary session
which means that the postponement...it means that they work but they dont hold a special session...they are always getting more done when they are not in session than when they are in session
Maliki now asking for the right to go before and ask them for the questioning...he doesn't believe Allawi and those guys are ready....Talabani wants reform...what we are going to see is a speed up of the process especially when we see Talabani show up on the scene....Is he there now....he could be.....we don't know...we hate to speculate - he could show up at any moment - Germany is an 8 hr flight.....and we are going to see a speed up of the process with getting all the formalities set in preparation for Talabani and we are going to see possible compromises Maliki and Allawi.....The best day of news that we have had in 7 days....Give us great cause for hope

ARTICLE OF THE DAY
"Fatlawi: National Alliance will be included in the subject of Council policy reform paper"
So huge.....Arthur found this article and confirmed what we have been thinking....reform issues going on behind closed doors
We know something is on-going...keeping it blacked out of the media.....keeps it from us but we really don't need to see the play by play.....we just want to know the outcome....we have to get that NCSP position for Allawi however form that needs to be...
it confirms what we already knew....things are moving...they are happening and even though we are not seeing it all we are getting little peeks into it - very exciting to see this.....VERY IMPORTANT ARTICLE

Don from LJ's Next Step Team....shared with a great find he found some time ago regarding our investment:
.PDF File from The Congressional Research Service
Iraq: Politics, Governance, and Human Rights
- by Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs
Page 17 of Adobe .pdf File / Page 13 at the bottom of page:

On November 10, 2010, with reported direct intervention by President Obama, the “Irbil
Agreement” was reached in which (1) Allawi agreed to support Maliki and Talabani to remain in their offices for another term; (2) Iraqiyya would be extensively represented in government—one of its figures would become COR Speaker, another would be defense minister, and another (presumably Allawi himself) would chair the enhanced oversight body discussed above, though renamed the “National Council for Strategic Policies;”9 and (3) amending the de-Baathification laws that had barred some Iraqis, such as Saleh al-Mutlaq, from holding political positions. Observers praised the agreement because it included all major factions and was signed with KRG President Masoud Barzani and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq James Jeffrey in attendance. The agreement did not specify concessions to the Sadr faction.

Obviously this was written by the US...54 page document you can download and read - its a long read but if you really want to know whats happening from 2002 til June 13, 2012 its something you probably want to read - It goes thru everything - all the major players....very enlightening to us....

Mike - How outstanding you found this Don....awesome find for this community....solid hard core black and white facts that we can see what it actually happening and why....finding out that this is exactly what was supposed to happen, etc ...you will find out why they are all fighting and so much more...
By reading this document you will know exactly why Barzani acting the way he is acting...why Maliki is acting the way he is acting....why Allawi is acting the way he is acting...unbelievable what these guys do to one another behind the scene and this is all laid out in this document........Great read....I suggest you all download it and read it when you have time
Don found this awhile back.......amazed on what was in this document....and it is constantly being updated last date updated June 13, 2012...Pretty accurate and right on the money as to the Next Steps.....

This document is more important than the "Future of Iraq Project" and so important to what is going on right now...
It will give you an understanding as to what is going on and what we can expect next...
This document Don found changes the face of how we look at the government going forward

CBI/ECONOMY

Mike discusses the Finance Committe and the negative articles that come out and why they come out....Smart Cards....The auctions....counterfeiting...de-dollarization...and much more

"Central Bank: a new mechanism will be announced within a few days to deal with branches of international banks"
NEW Mechanism to bring them into the international market in the coming days to deal with branches of international banks......
They are telling us something is going to happen in the coming days on an international level with this currency with a NEW mechanism which has something to do with the dollar exchange rate....
I am not saying it is an RV...we may see things we have not seen before - there are some things out in the communiity...fluctuations on the forex....certain things that are going on that are leading us to believe that internationally this currency may be coming onto the market soon...

"The central bank adviser: the integration of small banks with large management will help to build strong banking"
Very important to the functionality of his banking system - Saleh talking about the banking system needs to be a private banking system - it needs to be strong and heres what we are doing to govern you and tell you what we need to do internally so that you can have these required deposit amounts by the time you need them
Why would they be giving out this advice now?? I ts almost like they are urging these banks to get their act together quickly
because something is going to happen...they want the banking system to be set for this event to happen
The last article talks about doing something internationally.....that starts Opening up the door for international investment...
starts the free flow of money and Once this RV's the floodgates open.........This process is moving very quickly - and he wants it to get done now and wants it to be soon rather than later

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CENTRAL BANK - GREAT ARTICLE
"On the anniversary of the establishment of the Iraqi Central Bank"
Some great quotes from this article
Central Bank of Iraq today stands at the top of the pyramid, which is composed from the Iraqi locomotive institutional life ..

Because of this new vision (legal) has become the CBI organization deserves to be the interface of our dear .. He became Governor of the Central Bank international figure has a weight in the forums related to the functions of central banks and global economic forums.

The central bank will soon issue a new series enjoys the benefits of a project known as the high deletion of zeros.

is the engine of life

The promising future of our economy of Iraq is under the near future, and will be the Central Bank and other institutions of indignation which this gate is vested in the future ..

Tribute and homage to the Central Bank of Iraq, our leader in building our future ..

Tribute and the tribute to the Iraqi Central Bank Governor Dr Sinan Shabibi, national character and national character venerable son of the late Sheikh Mohammad Reza Shabibi.

GREAT TIMING OF THIS ARTICLE
Gives the history of the CBI

Mike talks about Dr Shabibi and how influential he is to the world...our investment....and so much more

Theme for tonight...Take a deep breath
We had some great articles that told us about the Central Bank and the history thats going on
Some great articles and discussion telling us whats going on in the government and Parliament
I just don't realize maybe what you are going to realize that happened on this call tonight but the document that LJ's Team brought forward tonight that explains what is going on in the Parliament - just how important that is....it will be something we will refer to alot in the future and it will give us alot of peace with whats going on with the government side

We know the Central Bank is moving forward and after reading the article about Shabibi celebrating the Anniversary of the CBI you should have some peace in knowing that the guy that is in charge of this particular process is one of the greater minds that has ever done this...he studied under some of the best people and some of the best banking system and he knows exactly what he is doing...once this government situation gets done and he knows where thats at and he can have the laws and everything he needs he is going to take this forward...he has not stopped once - we say sometimes this RV has been postponed or that it hasnt been done but he has done nothing but move forward in line that he needs to so that when that opportunity comes for him to do what he needs to do he will able to do it - He has done everything from having a government shut down their country...screw up his exchange rate to possibly having a government that maybe interfering with daily auctions in order to make him look bad but yet he has never cried..never cried foul....never did anything but come out said that they would correct it....A true leader does not point their fingers at someone else....a true leader comes out and says he will take care of it and he has...
Shabibi has done nothing but take care of what he needed to take care of.....his banking system is stronger...he never says anything about the negative press...not once has he said anything bad about others...
So If I can sum up everything we said on this call tonight it would be You should have confidence in whats going on over there
that sometimes a mess doesn't reallty look like a mess when you know where the parties are..and whose on first...and whose on second...and now that we have a players guide now with the Document Don found - gives us alot of strong confidence that things are moving forward and even when we didn't think it was moving forward it was.......we just have to realize it is in their time not ours...Just sit back...watch and enjoy the view as we take this ride together

Arthur....Talks about how important Don from LJ's Next Step Team is to their team and his great research and resources that make it available to the entire community to give the dinar community peace and understanding as to where we are

LJ....Don is our Go To Guy....he is the one that is always asks alot of questions and gets the answers with his extensive research
Makes me proud as to what we have built as friends and as a team together.....Just having Don, Arthur, Tracey, Barney, Tim and now the IQD Team....very thankful for what everybody does on this call sharing the economic side gives me peace and understanding with where we are with this investment

Don....this is team effort.....very thankful we are here joining forces with The IQD Team to get some peace...it is a team effort and we are all here for each other
Tracey - very important to the team and all she brings

IMPORTANT WARNING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CALL TO OUR LISTENERS:

How a Con Man Builds a Con...
Listen to the entire warning on the recording about what is happening out there in the dinar community....taking it to new levels.....people trying to get you to invest in Iraq....Invest in Real Estate....Trusts.....Taxes/Investments......Off Shore Info.....Tiers...Setting you up for the BIG CON....the con that involves your dinar....separating you from your dinar....separating money from you if they can't get your dinar.. They have come up with crazy things out there they have come up with Tier 1...Tier 2...Tier 3 etc THESE DO NOT EXIST.....No special tiers.....BEWARE you will lose your dinar

Remember don't separate yourself from your dinar - never give your dinar to anyone
Remember don't think that you will get something from them that you will only get from them...there is NOTHING SPECIAL FOR YOU TO GET...If anybody tells you these things....run away from these people
They will tell you how special they are and they will be able to get you in and you can only get it from them...Please use common sense.......and do not give your dinar to anyone or your personal information.......

RECAP CBI/ECONOMY

WOW....WHAT A GREAT DAY OF NEWS FROM CBI....They really came out full force....This is what I really like Shabibi....he came out full force and he supports everything that is going on....

We had the Central Bank of Kurdistan come out and talk about they really want to see this project move forward
The head of the Central Bank of Kurdistan said lets move it forward - we want to see the Kurdish language
We want to get rid of the American money that was printed for us - we really want to go ahead and get this project go thru and the Kurds are there

We talked about Shabibi coming out and actually saying hey don't worry we are kinda proofing these pictures right now - They are going to be done very tastefully...They are going to be great - we are going to put them out there - Its going to be a sense of pride for everybody....certainly for the Kurds will be a sense of pride..and we are going to use pictures from all around Iraq that will really show the diversity of that - There will also be Kurdish writing for the Kurds so that everybody understands they are all one country
So its kinda a thing from a monetary standpoint they want to move forward - Its great stuff...we are getting close to proofing something...getting close to enacting that as we move forward
Don't know what the plans are but they are certainly moving forward and letting people know they are ready...and ready to go for it

We talked about the project moving forward for the accounting systems ..all of the things they talk about when they are out there

We are learning more and more from the CBI that their economy is huge compared to where it is at - There are some great numbers when you look at the size of GDP...when you look at the size of the growth and you look at the size of what they have in oil production it puts them in the top 10 of the world among natural resources...This is just huge!!! They are one of the top 10 wealthiest countries in the world based on natural resources - So if you start backing your money with those naturual resources as we see that they are trying to do and what they are trying to accomplish here it gives alot of value to that - When you look at all of these countries that have this fiat currency and you look at the trillions of dollars that are around in these natural resources it really gives you an idea that there is alot of value that can be had here as we move forward

We discussed a Great article " Monetary policy and its arms of future" take the time to read this great article ...Saleh coming out saying there is 34 billion in total dinars.....4 billion being the circulation around....very interesting low number and really brings into perspective what the CBI has been doing in order to get themselves ready for the replacment of this currency as they move forward

Is the CBI ready??? They have been born ready for this particular project - they know exactly what they want to do and how they are going to get it.......the brains already know what they are doing....its the government and everything else kinda sitting there and fighting them along the way.....but they are smart enough to get by it and they are moving forward - even when it looks like they take a step back they take 4 steps forward (with the negative articles coming out from the Finance Commitrte all the time)

As we discussed a word of caution when reading articles find out your frame of reference.....if it is coming out of the Finance
Committee, they have NO power over this process...they want power over this process - I can see why they say all of these negatives things because they want to have control over the process
they can't......they don't...its not in their Constitution...so they are going to yell and scream
What does the CBI do...they move forward step by step.....slowly but surely they move over it.
CBI IS READY....BEEN READY AND MOVING FORWARD...FULL SPEED AHEAD

That doesn't mean we know a date or rate....Remember as we talked about earlier in the call...we talked about the patience that you need because this is a totally fluid situation over there with everybody trying to gain an edge...one group wanting democracy in their government....one side that wants some sort of Islamic rule
with a dictatorship type over everything.....resources and everything.....that is the fight that is going on and the battle being waged and we will have to see how that comes out...
You are probably going to see a cross between the two as I have always said - there will be some sort of compromise in there eventually that will make it look something really weird - Don't be surprised and quite honestly if they get their government moving together we need to do what we need to do and get this done....they are going to add value to this currency at some point here and we are seeing the steps being fulfilled bit by bit

Recap - Government
Really no change since Thursday.. ..Talabani hasn't shown back up yet.....Still talking about reform and still threatening to question Maliki - its status quo - one of my best lines..until status quo changes where one side gains an advantage you are going to see this tug of war over the next few days
I am assuming when Talabani returns....whether he has had surgery on his spinal cord...foot..his neck...I think he has had everything operated from his big toe to his left nostril on as we have seen in the news....it is what it is....its a process and they are going thru it
CBI going thru their process and eventually at some point in time those two will meet or they won't and the CBI will move fowrard and do what they need to do

We talked about an article about the Oil and Gas law getting moving forward....status quo - pressure on Maliki

We talked about another article talking about the Guillotine Patented Process of passing laws and moving them thru without delays ...article saying we can get things done quickly period from a legislative standpoint...great article....designed for new countries to cut thru the red tape quickly....Look at what has appeared in the Gazette since June 15......things are definetely being done behind the scenes and you can bet they are using this Guillotine Process to get these laws thru quickly

(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed after each news article listed below)

Highlights of CBI/Economy

Tonight we are going to go over 4-5 CBI/Economy News Articles & then The Government portion is a Round Table Discussion...just Great Discussion about where we all think we are with the news about the government

CBI/Economy

"Adoption of smart card for the distribution of salaries"
"This step will bring a quantum leap in the banking system of the province, as well as the satisfaction of staff in the delivery of monthly salaries"
Great news......we are seeing a Test market for the smart cards in Nineveh province ......They are excited about getting these smart cards and having their salaries on the smart cards because it gets them used to using something that is associated with the banking system...it gets them used to using the Credit card machines...ATM machines and the things that are going to be around...
As we start to move forward we will see more and more of these as they get used to the banking systems...Huge giant step forward
This makes their banking system stronger...makes it awesome .....lets me know their structure of what they have is in place and ready to move forward for any of the international things they want to do with these cards....we have been discussing it for awhile...cables have been laid.......the groundwork is there......and we are further along than we probably even know...
.
"Five important decisions for the economic cabinet"
"The meeting was attended by ministers of finance, oil, trade, agriculture, The Iraqi Central Bank Governor, President of the National Commission for Investment, Dr. Abdul Hussein Al-Anbuge economic adviser in the Office of the Prime Minister, the Deputy Secretary General of General of the Council of Ministers for Administrative and Financial Affairs, also hosted the Economic Commission for meeting both the Ministers of Electricity, Municipalities and Public Works and Director General of Trade Bank of Iraq"

This was a huge High Level Meeting which happened in the evening.......they had everybody who had to do with everything at this meeting that had to do with the Investment and the Economics of the country.....And if you think that all they talked about is the Trade Bank of Iraq and increasing their capital and restructuring their money think again...this was huge...this was High Level Meetings.....this was a meeting to discuss everything that needed to be done
(I hope Shabibi did a wrestling move on to Anbuge and smacked him around because he is the guy that has caused more consternation in this community than anyone else other than the gurus)
This is a huge meeting...almost positive they were discussing the investment laws that they needed in order to move things forward They talked about restructuring currency - they are really talking about the things they need to put in place to stimulate the economy and things to move forward ...When he goes to these meetings things start to happen because they really seem to get it.... and right before he goes to these meetings he always seems to get the negative articles coming out from the Finance Committee....
Dr Shabibi determines the monetary policy....monetary policy is being developed for this country...going to be the 1st set of things that they do....its going to control everything they do....will control the investment into the country...control how much money comes into the country...how fast the economy heats up....how quickly the government gets its money....how quickly they can fulfill these contracts and he is determining that - he needs a set of rules that are laid down to help him to open up the country for investment...
Taking care of these banks and getting them on line - for them to be meeting and talking about all of this leads me to believe
there is some real high level things going on underneath and those are the things we like to see. The things that can hold up this RV are definetely on the investment side - has nothing to do with who is in power....once that is all decided...and it will be decided...Dr Shabibi knows this and that is why he is working so hard..
This type of stuff not being in place can kill his economy - can make it hard for people to come in....hard for people to get paid
and one of the things you don't want to have when you are expanding is people not getting paid because they will stop working...pull workers off and start demanding payment.....This is huge on the international scene that all that works the way it is supposed to...and the banks are able to come in and do it....When you see something like this where they are meeting into the evening leads me to believe that something is going on underneath the scenes on the CBI side to get their Parliament stuff they need to get done...Huge push for all of this going on .....Great article..my favorite of the night

"Parliament calls for the central bank to take measures to reduce the real exchange rate of the dollar "
"No Shiites".....One of those articles that came out from the Finance Commitee....they should be saying we want to support you in what you want to do....What they come out and say is you need to do this because of XYZ...
Its a program rate so it truly is not a exchange rate.....how about if we RV and then you can start having conversations like this - its almost the cart before the horse and this is where the understanding of the Parliament/Finance Commitee comes in..
You can't fix stupid......its kinda like you know just enough to get yourself in alot trouble and these are the type news articles that people read in the community and everybody think they have credibility....You have to remember where they are coming from and the frame of reference is off of these....Coming from a member of Parliament saying well we are doing good but where does this exchange rate stuff come from...well the person who pushes the exchange rate to the people always comes from Maliki
Maliki knows the only thing that he can do is get the people upset about their exchange rate and then he can maybe have the ability to move in and take over the CBI....that is his grand plan in the scheme of things - maybe it is maybe it isn't..almost seems that way when we see it in the news....Now it is a pattern and I have watched it for two years...when the CBI comes out with 2-3 weeks of articles non-stop almost immediately these type of articles come out on the negative side - they talk about the exchange rate....they talk about the people getting ripped off....they talk about banks not doing what they are supposed to be doing.....banks not in good shape....The only place this comes from is someone in the government who doesn't want them to be successful to try and counter this ....all this is aimed at the people and aimed to create fear...as it does in our community here - we should be smarter and realize where these articles come from ...and I guess that is where my frustration comes from....important to follow the patterns of these articles.....and if you understand where these are coming you can see where the pressure is.....
Maliki wants to stay in power....he wants all the power he can possibly get - been doing this ever since the troops left and before that....he has been out there defeating them....and now that the Central Bank is much better at defending themselves and much better at getting things accomplished and where they are going - and then having this huge meeting today and then something like this comes out to try to tell us basically what this says is RV your money,...but what he is really trying to say is there is alot of corruption out there and you shouldnt trust the bank.....go figure...they don't get it sometimes....because they don't understand it and they are .working towards a goal of just getting people upset
Always remember where these articles are coming from...who they are coming from and what committee it is when reading these articles ...it will give you alot of insight as to why it is not that great of an article and others people analysis ----it just doesn't work that way....they are oversight - you have to understand that there are not people in the government who understand how this process is going to work and a small percentage in the government who want to see it fail.........you have to weed thru them...no different than our papers here in the US

"Deputy: National Alliance is ready to implement article 140 and Council policies after sitting at the table of dialogue"
Pretty pivotal point for all of this..National Coalition - one of the things they keep on talking about is doing it thru the Constitution
there is something in the 140 that is either counter productive to the Constitution that they are hanging there hats on or not and it may seem to be who is going to sign the oil contracts - biggest thing is Maliki is upset that they signed all of those contracts.......and when it comes down to the dollars of those contracts coming back...we have read that at one point in time Kurdistan region has 42-50 contracts and Baghad has only signed 16.....my guess is one of the sticking points on 140 is Kurdistan region wants to keep a majority of those funds for themselves becasue they signed those contracts because they drug their feet and they were not in there ....this is where this constituional thing keeps coming up with the 140..and I think this is where this is at...it is probably a huge substantial amount of money back to the government and going thru - There is a willingness to get this done....a willingness to sit and negotiate it but it truly comes back to the money as we move forward...its important to understand that once they determine where that all is going and where it is going to be that they will come to an agreement with it...and it is on the top of the agenda - It is part of the 9 point negotiation process they have going on...bones being thrown out there by Maliki trying to stave off as long as he can with whats going on with Parliament.....we are watching and looking for this to be done...

LJ'S Next Step Team....Arthur
"Member of Finance Committee: Negotiations are continuing with Kuwait to extinguish the debt .. And remove Iraq from Chapter VII will be achieved soon"

Excellent article....Arthur shares some great insight into his friend Larry and how important the WTO is to Iraq....."90% of intl trade are member of the WTO"
You can bet that Chapter 7 and Ascension into the WTO were included in those High Level Meetings ..these are things that they are doing...they are on-going - all part of what we need to get to where we need to be....getting out of Chapter 7..getting into the WTO....having all of these meetings.....having all of this progress...we are seeing it move forward...seeing a robust economy - we see Shabibi doing all of these things....I always go back to what the CBI is doing and the big picture that we read about and see...
you can see the progression...never really a shortage of progress being made....laws being passed....Shabibi doing things in order to get us where they and we need to be....All of these things are the modernatization of this country as they move forward and we know part of that is going to indeed soon be the revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar

GOVERNMENT ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION

Great 30 minute discussion and analysis of the news articles....where we stand in the opinion of the two Teams....
Listen to the replay...GREAT ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION

Quick synopsis...we went over alot....But certainly feel like we are moving in a positive direction...we don't know what we don't know about the government as far as that goes and we are watching a fluid situation..seems to be the undertones are that things are moving underneath..meeting happening behind the scenes...people are meeting - things are being talked about - we are heading to either reform or bringing Maliki out with a Vote of No Confidence...that is where we are at right now and thats fine....it is not necessarily stopping this RV....Shabibi would just like to see some structure there - they can fight about what they want - if he is sure the structure is going to be there and that things are going to get implemented that need to be implemented he will feel very comfortable and confident his window will open for him very widely for him at the particular point in time....

I guess one of the things that will come up tonight is whether this will RV before or can it happen during Ramadan......we talk about this NOT being event driven....gurus get on an event.....this is NOT event driven...Ramadan will not cause this RV to happen....there are certain things that still need to be done internally before this can really happen and move at a quicker pace than it is
Please take it all with a grain of salt if you are hearing gurus calling it all over the place...but things still need to be done.....I would love to be wrong and it happens and I could say Wahoo here we go but my common sense tells me that if we all need to keep grounded and thinking of that we are moving forward and keeping ourselves grounded we will be much better off and won't be up til 2 in the morning

Can Shabibi do it tonight or tomorrow? Bottom line we need to remain grounded either way....Realize it has not happened yet for a reason and that reason is it is an ongoing process - we do the best we can with the IQD Team and The Next Step team to give you the info as it happens and it is occuring and break it down from what we are seeing and everybody can use their own...we all have opinions and we all have different insight.

We can all feel very confident and we are going to get the closure we are all looking for very soon

RECAP
CBI....

LJ did a great synopsis of the government - very insightful....should open up your eyes a little bit to whats going on there..nothing major going on there...moving forward...we had a Round Table Discussion that was great....gives you ability to listen to everybody and make up your own mind...thats what makes this world go around....we all feel like we are moving forward

CBI....we had some great articles and events we discussed....
Adoption of the smart cards in one of the provinces ..sort of a test market for these cards....they are going to deliver their salaries to these smart cards - excited about bolstering the banking system in that area..excited about these smart cards getting into the peoples hands....we do not think this is not going to cause the RV....it is not event driven...it is a part of the process of building the banks and people going to the banks..eventually they will add value to it but they are going to get the people used to it.

I talked about remembering back in 1980 getting your first card when you open up a checking account..this check card they were trying to force upon you..... these people are starting at Point A with these cards just like we did....great to see happen and it will bolster the banking system

We talked about the High Level Meetings that went on With Shabibi and just about everybody who had anything to do with economics in the country at this meeting...they met far into the evening - what we go out of the news is that they were discussing alot of the economics situation and I am sure adding value to the dinar was on the table
They talked about the probably more so with the Finance Committee the rules and regs they need to make this economy work - Remember there are many important cogs that have to happen from the Central Bank and the Economics side that have to be in place.....It is as simple as pressing a button but if all of those pieces are not lined up to a certain degree Its like a pressure valve on a tank......you have to open it up....You can open it up slowly....that pressure valve starts to release and you open it up all the way as long as you know that there is no stoppage along the way and it won't blow anything up - thats what the economy is - thats what all of the pieces we talk about are to this economy...that they all need to be in place....So again this was a very huge meeting

We talked about about Article 140 ..listen to the Round Table you will get a much better idea about what is going on with this and on the economics side...

Arthur brought a great article to the table tonight.....Chapter 7 & WTO...what they need to do to get into the WTO..things they need to do...is it important....will Chapter 7 cause the RV...we talked about it not being event driven....eventually because the high powered countries would like to see them out of Chapter 7 it probaby will happen ..they will need to restructure their currency and have a viable currency...it is not going to cause it but these are all things that are going to look good for them for their entrance into this and most of this will happen fairly simultaneously around the time the RV happens because once they have value it fixes alot of these problems
Remember that...one of the reasons they have the problems that they have is that they have very little value to their currency
the minute they add value and pruchasing power to that currency alot of things can kick in and it can go very quickly - they are all voted on and passed they just need to be implemented

News is all good and full speed ahead....CBI is ready....government has negotiations going on underneath and we are looking forward to see what they come up with ....and eventually here pretty soon we will know what they are going to do...whether they compromise on the government side - it is a slow process because they need to do it consitutionally and get things lined up
it is just their culture ...there are alot of things they counted on things getting done and they are going thru it slowly but surely
there will be an ends to a means

And there you have it...

SOME VERY GOOD NEWS HAS HAPPENED
OUR TARIQ FROM IRAQ HAS MADE IT HOME TO THE UNITED STATES TODAY
Welcome to Tariq who has made it to the United States
He arrived in the US - received his clearance papers...has arrived in the US and no longer has to fear for his life

Mike shares the story behind Tariq...a great friend of The IQD Team for over a year now....was an interpreter for the American troops where he spent many months hiding and fearing for his life
He decided to get his plight out and has been on our call several times over the last year
We are thankful he has made it here and truly excited about his return

You can read his story on our website under Iraq News....Tariq Plea For Help

We are so excited that he is home.......He is Home Sweet Home..as he wrote on his Facebook page
"I am home in the U S of A"

He sent an email to The IQD Team and to all of you our listeners and followers....

Dear Friends
I hope this email finds you well
Finally I am holding my Passport with an Immigrant Visa on it and my plane ticket...On July 12th...I will heading to my new home...the USA
I just wanted you to know because you have all been helping me since Day 1 and I know you will be happy to hear it
I hope I can meet you all one some day...somewhere in the US
Thank you so much for everything you did to help me
Special thanks to Becca Heller, Director of the Iraqi Refugeess Assistance Project for her continuous support and wonderful spirit that kept digging thru the mazes of this bureaucracy to give me a priceless gift like the one I holding in my hands right now
I will eventually be looking for a job so please keep me in mind
Wishing you all a very Happy Day
Very respectfully .....Tariq

Makes you think that what you have here that you take for granted on a regular basis called Freedom...what people will go thru no matter how screwed up we think this country is as some of us do....or how great so think it is as some of us do...that people strive to come here because it is the land of opportunity.....keep that into perspective and understand the greatness you have and the people that have paid the price for that to give us the opportunity to talk about this investment that maybe that will put it into perspective for a few people....There are people on a regular basis concerned about getting blown up walking outside their doors....and maybe it is a just a reality check when you see the vigor and excitement that comes out of people when they get a taste of freedom
WELCOME HOME TARIQ

Recap of tonights news Discussion and Analysis
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed after each news article listed below)

RECAPS

CBI/ECONOMY
CBI is ready...set... go...
We read about the release of Gold Cards that tells us the banking system is continuing to get better and better...
They are paying off debts which means that their currency can get stronger and stronger and truly they are waiting on no one ..Shabibi has this in his hands and what we feel he is waiting for in our opinion is the government structure to be put in place and the 140 to be there and some rules and regs he needs to get done once this is all there but he is moving forward as if this is in place

Government
They are going to interrogate Maliki and they are going to take him out...They have resolve..they have the vote....disappointment in Sadr about not hearing the bell ringing of reform...whether they have reforms or not they are going to question Maliki and they have enough votes I believe that he is going to go...we should see something happen by Thursday according to what the news says

You try diplomacy...I think they have been more than patient...we've been more than patient even though we don't play a part in it
it has required alot of patience...I was talking to people in the room telling them this is not for the faint of heart - we have to have resolve and assurance that we are on the right path..noone in their right mind would have thought it would have gone this long.......we thought they were going to work things out
We thought Maliki was in the corner deep enough
And he's really shown he has alot of resolve...this guy just dug in and dug in deep...On one hand as much as I don't like him because I have learned who he is...trying to dig into keeping his power which is what it is all about..He is rooted so deep in that there is some part of me that respects it even though I don't like it
because he just won't give in and nothing will sway him
On the other hand I can respect noone that thinks only of himself when 32 million people have needs...so it is kinda something I can't work with...I normally draw a line in the sand on one thing or another but this guy is really rotten to the core as far as I am concerned

Highlights of some of the News Articles
Mike gives an overview of what we have read in the past and where we are at...
Beginning of the first of the year they were all ready moving forward with the deletion of the zeroes...
At that particular time they got news from the IMF about their banking system - gave them a report saying we would really like to see these reforms take place in your banking system….
Remember in the Future of Iraq Project one of the last things needing to be done was the development of the banking system
Over the last 3 months we have seen more movement in the development of the Banking System….Shabibi coming out and talking about the private sector and getting his banks healthy and ready for fractional banking……
You don't do this if your currency is going to be worthless and as Arthur said before they are doing this and acting like there is value to their currency already....
One of the big keys in getting the people interested in the banking system...making sure they can have all of the amenities outside of the world…we read articles where people were afraid to bring their money to the banks and put it in there because Sadam took it.....add to that you have Maliki who tried to take over the Central Bank and you've got this pseuodo dictatorship as it looks looks like to the people and he's going after the Central Bank....they are still throwing pot shots at Shabibi every now and then..there was an article today that came out wanting him to release his assets kinda like the political candidates do in an effort to try and embarrass them - to try to glean something to get some negativity out of it
They have to realize the banking system and the CBI is sorta outside of what goes on politically - because it is a private institution so they don't have to truly adhere to all of these standards that are there but it is in their bylaws to do some things in what they do They truly develop the economic policy in their country and Parliament has oversight
Its funny as we have read these articles we have seen the Finance Committee kinda get on the same page but there is always one or two members in this Finance Commitee that seem to be on Maliki's side that come out and talk about all of this and say
we need to stop it ..we need to do this or that....we are not quite ready for that, etc
Then CBI comes back and says NOPE WE ARE MOVING FORWARD...WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED
and although it was one the slower days for CBI news from all that we had coming out lately..we had 3 great news articles today

Government
LJ.....I am excited.....I am positive but I talked with Don today and we discussed about whats going on - that you have to give the people the reality of whats going on with the government because their expectations that are being brought out by the good news we have....You don't want to be irresponsible with the way you are interpreting the news...because the way I am interpreting it is we are going to see something happen relatively soon......What I expected to wake up and see this morning didn't happen...expected Allawi was in Parliament...see that he put forth with Nujafi that he wanted to question Maliki and had 7 days from today to do it..thats what I expected but as soon as I didn't see it I told myself you know because you tell everybody else not to have expectations and it just taught me another lesson...it reigned me back in and thinking I have to wake up and allow the news to read and not have expectations because I was disappointed today....I am not discouraged and still very positive...

I Like LJ's comments because it shows we are just like everybody else - we get involved in this and we got thru the news - and you know what sometimes we do set our expectations ..I like that statement because maybe it relates to some of people on the call...we have alot of people who go to forum to forum to get that excitement ...but it is not about that...its about taking away those expectations and realizing there is something underneath here they dont want us to know...we are just as human as everybody else....

Remember on June 15 postings in the Gazette appeared that Parliament was passing we had no idea they were getting done...And they were travelling...meeting and were not even supposed to be there..Then tons of laws hit the Gazette the first week in July...13 of them....Parliament was travelling then...Something is happening....one of the laws that hit the Gazette had to do with Article 140...Most of them were the Reforms for the People...there is something getting done behind the scenes that we are not seeing...The fact that Talabani has gotten out of town and so out of this and he normally plays a big part in all of this as the President...he's still signing these because they are hitting the Gazette...so something is going on...All the news is giving us a picture of what going on and you will get slants from one direction or the other...Something is moving because the CBI does feel confident about what they are doing..now more than they ever have
and as the situation looks bleaker than it has because its all muddled up
I certainly see Maliki trying to be the guy who doesn't want to leave
don't get me wrong he is going to do everything that he wants and I certainly don't know if they have enough to go ahead and do the Vote of No-Confidence and move him if they have to or if they are waiting on something else.....
Barzani came to America....he visited Turkey...he went all the way around and he did his due dilgence and talked with everybody
said this is what we are going to do...do we have your blessing?
And pretty much everybody gave him their blessing to do what they wanted to do so he was in the drivers seat...So I Have feeling there is a means to an end with this government..and that maybe we really are not getting the full picture because of what is coming out.....

LJ....I don't want to come across as not being optimistic because I am very optimistic....I know that once they are able to get Maliki out...things will move extremely fast....I believe Shabibi knows we are close but todays government news basically seems like it did 6 months ago....I know all of our expectations were that there was going to be huge movement on the 10th but I don't necessarily think any of this will be televised in the news media for the whole world to see.....

All of the articles tonight are about pointing in the direction of questioning Maliki and getting rid of Maliki...Once he is removed things will move extremely fast....I hope they get it done this weekend or on Monday....I don't know why they would have to wait....If they call for it on Thursday and make a formal invitation to him he cannot negate that responsibility...he can not walk away from it...doesn't mean they have to wait 7 days.....hopefully schedule it early in the week...but I believe now based on what the news is telling me they are going to remove him and the Reform is not going to work...I believe the reform initiative that was sent out by Jaafari had some things in it that actually went back to what he was saying in January about the National Council Strategic Policy ....wants to make sure constitutional and he wanted a dialogue about it ..and I think it just pissed off Allawi even more....Once they get him out they already have provisions for what they are going to do...I believe they have a game plan....I pray and hope that they do...But I believe they are not going thru all of this not to have some type of quick resolution once they get rid of him.......they know that they have to do that....because he's going to waste more time if they let him stay in...We want him to stop wasting time and either do it or them to remove him

And there you have it...

Two Teams, One Vision Working Together arriving at the same place for the Dinar Community

Highlights from some of the News Articles Discussion and Analysis
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed after each news article listed below - the following are the highlights after the articles were read and a Recap follows)

Highlights

"Parliamentary Finance: Central Bank will continue to receive the old currency for a period of ten years"
Shabibi Had a meeting with Maliki a year ago on June 19, 2011...So lets see they were ready a year ago...Its now July 5, 2012 - yes I would say they are ready to go...
This is going to be "RV for Dummies" Let me break this down and understand why this is so important so all of the misinformation can go away..
You have 30 trillion dinars...thats the total M3 money supply...you have an internal money supply whats in the bank and whats in the Iraqis pockets..thats the M1 money supply...thats a smaller portion of the total money supply..there are countries that hold dinar
We hold dinar in another country...Theres 15 trillion or less in country...most of that other is held outside of the country..there is not much held in the banks
The reason this 10 yr period is so important is because when other countries cash out there money it goes to their Central Bank...Ours goes to the Federal Reserve Bank ..Now they are not like all of us ...we just hit the lotto and going to run and cash in your money and go out and spend it...Central Banks are going to hold onto that money which means the have a 10 yr period to exchange what they have in their reserves
for the new money.....they do that ...we don't do that....we just trade it in...this is almost like depreciating this money over 10 yrs for him as far as paying for the RV.....they are making it very clear to the world each time we see one of these articles that there is going to be a 10 yr period for these Central Banks to do that...
Now we may only have 2 yrs which is what they say and we are in this process...run concurrently for 2 yrs and the new currency is coming out ....We believe that sometime before this currency comes out this RV will take place because you can't issue the new currency with money that is worthless because it costs more to print it than it does...Now the debate can rage on all it wants on whether or not they are ready but when you have the Governor of the Bank a year ago telling them they are ready to do this and they wanted to do as of January of this year..June last year they went to Maliki and said we are ready to do this 2012...well all of the political stuff went on so they moved it to 2013 so they are beyond the point of no return..they know they are going to do this and that this is going to happen..as we move along this ride they are giving us all of friendly information to keep everybody on board...
Now everybody can come up with their theories and all of that other stuff...they are not not going to lop their currency...they are not going to take value away from it...we here on this team believe that this investment will be worth more than what we paid for it at some time in the future..period... end of story...You can talk about all of the other theories, etc but this is basically what these articles are telling us and that the Finance Committee is on board...I don't think we have had this kind of response from the Finance Committe ever....its almost like they are over zealous at the Finance Committee- they don't understand the difference between oversight and monetary policy..they think they have to implement all of this..so they are out
there blabbering and talking away...half the time in these articles they don't know what they are are talking about - so when you read an article make sure where it is coming from..is it coming from the Finance Commitee or is it coming from Shabibi at the CBI...the more correct information is going to come from the CBI....the overblown info from the Finance Committes because they truly do not understand what that process is....so we really need to make sure you understand your frame of reference when you read these articles...but this is another article that lets us know that as they have been telling us for the last 1 1/2 years...there will be a 2 yr period...currencies will run concurrent which means they will have equal value....they keep on telling us that...and that at some point in time over 10 yrs people can turn these in and when they talk about people they are talking about the Central Banks...
It is truly that simple...people try to overcomplicate it....

Arthur....I think whats important Mike is that we now see a convergence of all these agencies and entities in Iraq all on the same page at least...as you said the Finance Commitee may go a little overboard and not be totally in sync with Shabibi and the CBI but they are on board....we remember earlier in the year when Shabibi himself was trying to maek sure that Parliament and the
Council of Ministers and the Finance Commitee everybody would get on board..because he was already ready then - slowly seeing the convergence of all of these entities getting on board and as you said we can beat this to death all day about if and when they are ready and what Shabibi is looking for and all that but we can see they are telling us everything we need to know....and that everybody is on board and ready...So we wait for the Next Step

Mike and Arthur:
Have you ever seen the Finance Commitee this positive about this particular event since you have been in this investment?
Actually the Finance Committee is one of the entities I have been waiting on to get to this point...they were the one kinda lagging behind...even to the point where I was wondering if is was going to happen and if it did they would maybe have to go around the Finance Commitee but they are now blowing a horn just as loud if not louder than the Central Bank...This is a good omen for us - overzealous and maybe not knowing completely what they are talking about but they are anxious..and this is a big deal - to actually delete the zeroes and raise the currency rate in Iraq after so many years is a major deal and I think the Finance Commitee just wants to be on board and let the citizens know Yes we were all of part of this too and we are on board and this is going to happen...

"JD .. published decisions of the Commission amend the investment law"
Investment Laws hmmm....Wonder if they had any help with those...wonder if The Guillotine Process was involved......
You know we talk about how quickly things can get done - Why are these important? Remember Saddam - part of their Constitution that they gave all of the power to pretty much the dictator so instead of gutting everything they took their Constitution..reworked it and added things..kept things..knowing that down the road they would have to get rid of these things...when we look at the Future of Iraq Project the last part of this is getting the banking and investments on line...Now its hard to say what can come first...the cart or the horse....you can RV your money and eventually whats going to happen is you have a ton of people coming in and investing because the money has value...so now you have value...you have a solvent country....loans are guarateed...its a huge influx...people will run because it is guaranteed money...if I told you could put in 15 million homes and you had no worries about getting paid for those homes you just had to go build them you are there...its profit and once your contracts are signed your profits are guaranteed for the 2, 3, 4, 5 yrs..the length of the project ....so companies will run -   - they need to make sure these laws are in place to handle these investors coming in wanting to buy land..wanting to buy things....we saw articles today about the malls going up....these are just like malls we have...local malls with all of the stores...retailers..food vendors....these are modern malls that you see everyday where you are at.....these are the type of investments that are going to be flowing in - You do NOT do this if you have a valueless currency....at some point in time that RV has to take place which is going to ignite all of this so the regulations need to be in place and that is what we are seeing happening now - They are struggling to get this done very quickly and they are moving and it's been a topic of conversation - I don't know if it has been voted on or where they are at with it but there is alot moving and we are keeping our eye on it making sure that it goes because all of this needs to be in place at or about the time they are ready to RVs because it influxes...
We are seeing contracts that they are starting to be signed in dinars to smaller companies that are willing to come over and sign them in dinar....so people are really starting to take a risk at this at some point in time...waiting to see how this is all going to work out and they take educated risks when they do these things....
We are starting to see what we need to see with the banking sector coming on line and with the banks being the centerpiece of loaning money and making sure they can do that properly once these regulations are in place the banking system will need to have fuel and that fuel is the RV...that fuel is the money coming into the economy and that will ignite this banking system and ignite this country very quickly so it is nice to see these things moving and getting themselves into position to take advantage of this when it
happens

Arthur & Mike have a great discussion about all of the companies and deals..Automobiles...Kia...GM..Ford...etc.....and why these companies are running to Iraq (listen to the recording)
Just the very fact that this is happening right now ...The fact that they are putting their investment laws in place and the fact that these huge companies are going to do business with Iraq right now it bodes 100% well not only for our investment but where we are for all of this to it show that our investment has bite and backing....very exciting and shows us we are in a very good place..

"Energy Commission confirms the enactment of the oil and gas during the next two months"

"We are forced to vote on the law during the next two months, the law technically written in 2007 and did not see the legislative light to now"

In process and moving forward....funny the only thing the people in the community see is it is going to take two months..No think about the progress we have made with this Oil & Gas Law...they are now putting it up....it is now front and center...it now has to go forward...I contend that Shabibi needs to know whether or not his contracts that are signed are going to be legal and constitutional so that he knows that the lifeblood of his economy is going to happen and come forward...Once he knows or he has guarantees that will happen he is going to move forward...but that is the most important part for him..He has to know and for this to come out front and center....this is what we want to see get done...It is on the agenda - they are talking about moving it forward and actually bringing it out and the one we want done is the one from 2007 because that is the one that has teeth that gives a little bit of automony back to Barzani and those guys...they know what they have - down in Kurdistan their govts are operating - they are building things...they are giving away money....all they need to know is make sure these oil contracts that they have signed..45 of them...are going to be legal and that is what they are fighting about in this whole thing
But to have this move forward is a major piece of legislation that will come to putting these parties to rest and it is my opinion this is probably all part of what they are negotiating on to get these meetings done and to move forward - nice to see that these things are on the agenda...it means things are moving forward all over the place...Very Very major step...

Arthur...
Everybody sees two months and gets upset in our community....but LJ has taught us all how to look at the words they are using...nowhere in that article did it say even this law was going to be in 2 months...it actually said they confirmed the enactment of the law of oil and gas DURING THE NEXT FEW MONTHS...during the next two months could be tomorrow.....Some of the other wording in the article it said "the next session of the House of Representatives will put the oil & gas law... to create a parliamentary law to provide vote within the council"
So they are going to put the law up in the next meeting of Parliament within the next sessiion...it said the current time is appropriate to vote on the OIl & Gas law to regulate everything....This is something that is happening NOW..

Barney: Read an article yesterday where Barzani came right out and said "that the new future and even the past contracts are for the Country of Iraq....and he was basically going away from the Kurdistan saying we are now for IRAQ...and why would he do that? Because he knows what is coming up.....It leads us to believe he is on board with this and they are moving forward
We are Now for Iraq is a Very significant statement...with what we are seeing on our side...somebody has done something behind the scenes
Mike, Barney & Arthur discuss more about the different versions of the Law and the contracts..listen to the recording for more

"Banking expert: Iraqi dinar to the economic stability needed to be desirable in the outside"

"He added that the Central Bank of afraid to enter the counterfiet currency when allowing entry and exit of the Iraqi currency, but allowed to get out of the country will force countries to deal with and become internationaly accepted and has a real value against other currencies"

That sentence doesn't sound like I am going to have to fly back and get my money to Iraq like others in the community threw out there.....This is just good news....its called internationally traded currency and they are working towards it...This is how the process works....This article was fantastic......all the steps they are taking to make it an internationally traded currency
Right now before the RV they are limiting the amount of money that goes outside the country...brilliant idea...logical step
Talks about this becoming a Hard currency...a hard currency is a currency that Federal Reserves keep in reserves so they can add to their 63 billion in reserves because it has value and it doesn't fluctuate.... like gold..silver...dinars won't fluctuate because it is a managed float and they have value based on what they have in the country...(listen to the recording for more)

LJ & Mike discuss a CBI article and Shabibi...what a brilliant man he is and how this process has taken place ( listen to recording)

GOVERNMENT
"Kurdistan Alliance: our discussions with the federal government failed to reach a result and are continuing to question al-Maliki and the withdrawal of confidence"
The reason I included this article is because I wanted you to see that I told you they were not going to take their foot off the gas pedal on wanting to remove Maliki but you have to realize we had various stories that came out and the one that came out that really stood out to me was one that stipulated Noone believes in Maliki promises...he said he has done so many things before...like Mike said earlier these articles are starting to show redundancy here...I brought this up because I want you to know just because we believe we are on the verge of something huge here....Kurdistan Aliance said they are okay with getting the reforms.....and they will go ahead and as soon as they get the reforms which is Erbil Agreement we will step away from the No-conf vote but they never backed away from questioning him..we always thought it would be a watered down event when they did do this....Now they are basically saying we have met .... and these reforms that these people are writing initiatives inside these reforms and wanting them to dialogue on these things..this is what Maliki has wanted this whole time....it is almost feeling like Maliki is getting his way with having a dialogue instead of Erbil....Allawi is saying just give us Erbil and lets move on from here...You want to continue to muddy the water by throwing these other things in here...everybody thinks you are wasting time.. we are telling you we are going to remove confidence from you when Parliament returns - you have a window of time to get this done....we are seeing what the CBI is doing and how they are waiting for things to happen and so right now Kurdistan is NOT going to let up and they shouldn't and we shouldn't expect them to...we should expect them to hold the petal to the metal until he gives them what they want....sending a message to him and they are sticking to what they want...I think we are going to see resolve thru reform..they are just sticking to their guns....Once they give us Erbil and Shabibi does what he needs to do to get us where we need to be...we won't care what they do with Maliki after that....Iraqiya List and Kurdistan have to keep the pressure on ...thats is there job...(listen to the recording for rest of the discussion)

"Khuzaie to a U.S. official: the political crisis is over and we will work to bring the parties to dismantle the various differences"
He works for Talabani.....Khuzaie saying we are going to work these reforms...we are going to bring this all together....and then you have our US Ambassador show up with a delegation in his office today and he says we are on the path to reform...even though we have faced obstacles we are going to get this done...don't worry about it ...the crisis is over and we will work to get all of the parties together to dismantle the differences....I hate hearing the crisis is over because we do not have Erbil...when the crisis is really over is when we have the Erbil Agreement but we are moving in the steps that Mike talked about..starting to see these little baby steps are making progress...We are one step closer with the CBI and the government to getting things done because they are praising Khuzaie's efforts in bringing all of the people together in a framework of unity to make them strong...What we are seeing is Talabani that has now been corresponding with all of the people of Iraq and especially Khuzaie and you have an interaction with US Ambassador and Khuzaie who has been working for the betterment of bringing the reforms and finding the common ground to get it done.......this news is just so common sense and to the point.....we are watching something happen right now
(LJ, Arthur & Barney discuss more about this and how they are working Right NOW behind the scenes prior to the Parliament meeting before the 10th..great info..must listen to ..... listen to the recording)

"State law: the repair option is a suitable alternative and is currently available out of the crisis"
All they are saying is compromise..compromise....compromise...
We really would love to get rid of Maliki but The Natl Alliance has put together this reform committee and we tried to make the environment pleasant for all parties because Hakim is a diplomat and tried to figure out all desires of each party
They got to the hot points of each - we know that the Kurds want HCL and Article 140....we know that Allawi wants the NCSP and we know that Maliki doesn't want to be questioned....the fact that they are saying now that this is the only choice we have to take a path that gives us an advantage and gives us an opportunity to make sure that our government succeeds and by doing that the Reform Committee is basically taking the option of declining to withdraw confidence off if possible and also having an option - we don't have to adhere to it - we can try to remove confidence but if he does these things then we can see him not being interrogated as well...we will not care about whether or not they do what they want to with Maliki AFTER he gives us the Erbil Agreement...and this is just saying in order for us to have this work and everybody get what they want ...Allawi gets what he wants... Barzani gets what he wants...Maliki gets what he wants...its a recipe for success and coming up with an Erbil Agreement and thats all I care about right now....They have to compromise...they are not going to get out of this any other way...this is the only path they can take...they have already worked it out...each of them willing to take steps back in order to see the progress of the whole.........todays news is really really good...Arthur talks about how they forming sorta of a Super Committee to get this done.

With the CBI and the government articles we are seeing we have front row seats because noone really cares about what is going on in Iraq except us...We have front row seats to watching democracy there so they can have an RV....we have to work backwards from the completion and see the steps backward in order to get to the completed event and thats why we have ringside seat to watching all of the completed steps...although they are small.....and they are killing us....we want this RV NOW

LJ: Talabani watch again today..but he didn't show up ...don't know what is going on with the guy..Maybe they can get him a bionic knee....maybe he can get in touch with Steve Austin and they can work this thing out....He can run from and get there in 3 minutes...lol

Mikes thoughts on Talabani..think that there might be a lot more negotiations going on behind the scenes where he is not in the news - don't think he is bad off as everybody says he is..I don't think he is outside of the country for this so long...you can't really keep major illnesses a problem...boy when these guys want to disappear they really can disappear but alot seems to get done when they do...

RECAPS

STRAIGHT TALKIN MIKE
RECAP - CBI
We read an article talked about the CBI being done and ready to go last year at this time..great articles....

We talked about if there was one article that everybody needs to read is "JD published decisions of the Commission to amend the Investment Law ...Talks about the investment laws that are on track and need to be done and get everything moving forward

We talked about companies coming in - these laws that need to be put in place to let the expansion of the dinar when they add value to it...Bring this investment in - ability to buy cars...buy land..etc

We talked about a great article ...for all of those people who have fears about this currency being worthless need to read this "Banking expert: Iraqi Dinar to the economic stability needed to be desirable in the outside"..Talked about it becoming an international currency and how it moves forward thru the system....Discussed how the banks outside are going to be forced to deal with it because it is going to be valuable and it is going to be a reserve currency and that it is going to have value....probably one of the most awesome articles we have read in a long time about what the outside is looking at when all of this happens

We talked about the Oil & Gas law - bringing this up in the next session which is the current session July 10 - good news from that article is they are talking about it now and it is all in play

Both the CBI and the government sides "perfect storm is coming" its brewing on both sides of this...CBI is ready and willing to wait for the government to finish up in order them to accomplish what they want

We have the CBI and the Finance Committee on the same page which we have not seen in a long time and this train is moving forward and we are here watching it as the scenery goes by and it all looks great

LJ
RECAP - GOVERNMENT

ALL WE ARE SEEING IS REFORM REFORM REFORM....STICK TO YOUR GUNS..STICK TO YOUR GUNS...
Allawi supposedly has a victory he is talking about in Amman Jordan...Barzani saying we are tired of everything..we should have had 140 a long time ago....If you give us what we want we just might pull No-confidence off the table and take off questioning
But until you do this and we ae going to stick to our guns and hold pressure on you....Based on what Shabibi is telling us and Parliament they have to start and implement these laws
CBI has to implement the 3 zeroes to get their economy back in line
They just have to do what they set out to do back in 2010 and set this government the way it was meant to be and then Maliki just goes off on his own...They are going to stick to their guns and we are going to hear REFORM REFORM
Everybody is line....Sadr came out today - I am stickin with it but lets not forget if we go to a No-Confidence Vote he's going against Maliki.....We have a proper environment to knock this thing out...get rid of it....set it behind us...Get our government one for the people if you guys would just continue on with where we started and where we are today...Beautiful thing to watch..all of the parties are saying the right things and the parties that need to stick to their guns are sticking to their guns...
Don't wory...don't panic...the perfect storm is brewing...we are just watching it...it is fun to watch...tedious but fun...This is your dues for getting the kind of windfall you could possibly get with the RV of the dinar....This is the price we all pay........

And there you have it...

Thank you to LJ's Next Step Team who joined us again tonight...
Thank you
LJ, Don, Barney, Tracey, Tim, Arthur
We joined together again tonight for a Joint Round Table Call ..Two Teams, One Vision Working Together arriving at the same place for the Dinar Community

Highlights from some of the Best News Articles Discussion and Analysis
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed after each news article listed below - the following are the highlights after the articles were read and a Recap follows)

Highlights

"The central bank determines the proportion of foreign currency granted to banks"
Couple of good things in this article...at the beginning we have been talking about them getting control of the monetary policy and also the exchange.....having the banks exchange...This is the next step....one of the things a bank can do that the Central Bank can't do is you have to prove to a bank who you are and where you are taking the money.....at least who you are...Eventually they can have the rules to say where you are taking the money similar to what we have here in our country for terrorism purposes....they can enact all of these laws and get those going....we are in next stage of this...and basically what they are going to do is let the banks participate based on the amount of capital they have which makes sense...you want them all to have enough skin in the game so they don't overdo what they are doing....and it doesn't entice somebody to come in and put out more dollars and take back more dinars than they have to....basic good rules
They talked about the banking system and how they want to trade.. bank...how they want to participate - and the key thing is they talked about the laws not being ready for the banking system just yet -
One of the things we are watching in Parliament with the Finance Committee is these 16-20 so rules, regulations, laws that need to change for the banking system...They were supposed to come up for a vote then it got very very quiet again with that information which leads us to believe they are either working on it underneath or they may have voted and passed on some of it - sounds to me like they must have passed some of the little things to help with this money situation because we are starting to see articles talking about money laundering, etc being able to be handled by these banks...people starting to grasp what is going on
The banking sector getting stronger by the day over there....
and again they are not doing this so they can have a worthless currency
At some point in time this is all going to come back in spades but if they don't have a good foundation set up they are going to lack some of the things they need in the future...so we are seeing the foundation being set up Step by Step and it is moving forward

"Central Bank expresses its hope that the adoption of the new currency in the budget next year"
The article says "He stressed that the completion of the project for the improvement of the payments and to facilitate the circulation of currency, he said, adding that the process will RAISE THE EXCHANGE of currency and its value in improving the domestic and global market."

Absolutely a wonderful article that lets us know they are starting to move forward - Saleh says this is a process that has already begun and that we are in the middle of this process...over a year ago....yes we knew that...thats where we find comfort here...we don't get excited one way or the other because we know that the process is moving forward however long that takes...its perfectly fine because the end is going to be a nice gain for us when it comes to completion...and as they get the government together the Central Bank is ready to go..they need some regulations and they need the government together.....when LJ talks tonight he is going to be very excited because there is movement and things going on inside the government and when we talk about things moving more quickly....we always talk about time and how it is always crazy how long it takes them to do things....light speed is when we see things happening in 3-4 days when there is nothing going on and all this bickering going on ...so you are going to see movement and be confident that this movement is going to be a positive end...look at what the Central Bank is telling us...they are ready to go forward...they are NOT going to decrease the value..they are going to increase the value....increase the purchasing power...they say it over and over again - I don't have a crystal ball - we are going by what they tell us - makes sense economically - educating the people
If the first phase was over a year ago...we are now in the regulation phase where they need to get all of these regulations in place
so when they handle the RV they can handle the investment coming in
Think about opening a balloon and letting all the air out....when you are trying to blow it up....Thats what this economy is like.....he's blowing up it up slowly by slowly and the minute he does this RV he will have an influx of people coming to his country for oil and everything else they have there

LJ shares how excited he was hearing Wolf Blitzer talking today about Iraq for 7 minutes on CNN.......need to watch that if there is a repeat...hope it replays...saying good things about Iraq...very very exciting
It took me back a couple of weeks ago listening to Mike talk about the banks...articles that had came out where Saleh came out and said we are going to hold off until the environment is correct for removing the zeroes...two days later he came out and said
You know what we have a responsibility economically to Iraq...we will not hesitate to move as soon as the government is complete
Its almost like they are telegraphing something that maybe going on in the government.....Exactly!!

Speaks volume to us that something is going on......should speak volumes to us that alot of people in the dinar community
the last couple of weeks out there saying the currency is worthless...I don't know why they do it but the fact that they are doing it should be telling us telling us something is about to happen because the government is looking like it is going this way...the economy looks ike it is going that way and you hear all of these crazy stories ......This article that ends with "the process will raise the exchange of currency and its value in improving the domestic and global market."
Great stuff....Love it.....

"The central bank's license (25) banks sell foreign currency"
Where did these regulations come from...The Guillotine Process"
They can do things very quickly with this process....this is the perfect opportunity for the Central Bank to bring in rules and regulations to get the currency exchange into the bank - just like we go to a bank for a foreign currency or international currency
thats the type of system they want in Iraq...if you look at our banking system....this is what they are trying to mirror over there
Read about it...its not MY words...its in the "Future of Iraq Project" (available on our website)...READ IT ....if you are new to the dinar community and you don't have an understanding go to our website and Read it..it will tell you the process they went thru in Iraq to get this economy back on....We are in the final stages of getting that economy back together - which is the banking system...they are going to follow a banking system similar to our banking system here...a centralized banking system with fractional banking....and its going to make that country BOOM when it actually comes into full effect....We are seeing this happen right before our eyes...
these Rules and Regulations are getting passed very quickly..they are coming up - they have 88% of the banks on ...12% that they will probably get out of the way, fine or they will move but they are going to go ...going to play ball.....this is the way they are going to get the exchange rate under control inside the country and Why is that?...Because if I RV I have to make darn sure that my people do not get ripped off...I could care less what goes on outside the country but if I have money changors that know what is going to happen they can hoard the money....they can take the money from the people...they can take the wealth from the people...but if it is in the banking system everybody has a fair shot....you don't go out onto the street and get ripped off....
As we have heard in this community and all of the stupid cash in early deals...about the people getting ripped off by trying to cash in early and going to other places besides the banks....and losing there dinars with people other than Banks.....this is exactly what they dont want to have happen in Iraq...they want it done thru the banking system thru the regular channels....
Words of Wisdom...if anybody asks you to go outside those channels...RUN far away from them.....they will tell you all kinds of stories and it will all be to get what you have...be careful abuot that.....they are trying to you should take note too....

"Iraqi trade import licenses imposed on all imported goods"
Sounds like activation of the tariffs...excluded some goods....this is a tariff...they stated they are going to vacation some items...didn't give us a full overview of it ..I think what we are seeing here is either a back door placement of these tariffs coming on board very quietly....without fanfare so it doesn't pop inflation... get people excited about goods and services going up - It gives the Central Bank some cover so they don't have to worry about whats going on at this particualr point in time so they can still go forward ...If you are asking me I think we have selective tariffs of goods and think we are moving towards getting this economy on track...that is a great sign for all of us...we will look for more articles that say things about these tariffs..we may not see them but it is my guess that those tariffs are in place on certain items as we speak at this particular point in time.....Of course that also opens them up to be in the WTO...

STRAIGHT TALKIN MIKE CBI ECAP
Great night for the CBI...outstanding..we heard about the Banking system being put in place
We are seeing the finalized plans for the banks becoming the place to exchange for yourself and getting things to go forward as we do in this country - The Banking system will be the #1 place where people will transact business....and all the economies will evolve around the banking system as it was set up in the Future of Iraq Project
They are not doing this because they are going to have a worthless currency...Saleh told us we are already in the middle of the project to delete the zeroes....he talked about that there will not be a decrease in value - there will be an increase in purchasing power and that they are very confident they can come into the international world with a solid currency
We are excited about this....we know we are in the middle of this process...its time to just be patient...let the process work
let them get the things they need in place to move forward
We talked about just a few more regulations that need to be passed - things are passing quickly..we talked about the Guillotine Trademarked Process - its a process they use to get laws & regulations thru ...they can get things done as quickly as they need to with this Process....what normally would take decades can be accomplished in a short period of time....In the world of economics that could be just a few days to have things going
We talked about the tariffs...this told me they have put selective tariffs on goods coming into Iraq - this helps them in two ways...#1 starts to keep people from dumping poor goods into their country which they need to have happen......gives them a means to start tracking things and making sure they know what is coming into their economy so that they have solid goods coming in
It will add a little bit of inflation - but its very quiet so the Central Bank will be able to work thru this and do what they want to do

Talking about the new budget being put in the new dollars as we come forward... remember it does not mean an RV has to take place.....it has to do with purchasing power - these are the things we want to hear about...they are talking about the completion of the process and when this process completes we can breathe a sigh of relief

We are talking about The Next Step...when we say things are getting processed and going thru...it does not mean the RV is immenent...it means the process and the next steps are finishing up...we finish up one step and LJ talks about the next step we get excited about that step because that means we are one step closer to the end of this process....Neither I nor anybody else knows when this is going to happen but we are following these steps...the things that need to take place before they can officially go forward and we are excited because those steps are getting fulfilled...

GOVERNMENT

LJ's Next Step Team discuss the following 4 articles and is a must listen to portion of this call to understand where we are with the
Next Steps.

"Iraq expects to question al-Maliki in September and Sadr back"
Reform...Reform..Reform.....They want this reform done........
Extremely exciting article - we are going to see Reform over No Confidence and we should see something relatively soon depending on when Talabani gets back into the country.......Listen to the recording for all the great analysis

"MP: KA ready to support Maliki if he performs according to constitution"
Great article - shows the Kurdistan position
Kurdistan Alliance is the last group that pulled back the Vote of No-Confidence...so that was great to hear in this article
(Listen to the recording for all the great analysis)

"Source: meetings away from the media between Sinead and Jumaili and infallible resolve differences"
Sounds like a Preparatory Meeting at a High Level...Good for us to see this ...Need to put the leaders together from each party for a meeting and in the article they name them....
"will get together and hold meetings without media to resolve the crisis in quiet"...keep it away from the media.....lets make sure we are going to have success....we have all agreed to the Reforms....so now we are going to create this environment that when we get together in public and we are in front of our 32 million citizens we are going to present an environment of a Unified Iraq.....
You guys this is exciting because this is the first time you have people representing each party that are coming together in a concerted effort...an effort that Maliki, Allawi, Barzani is making by sending their representatives....they all understand what is going on and the importance of the agreement and why they are going to meet up with Sadr ..and then Talabani.....Get truly excited about seeing this progress ...Everybody is tired of hearing about the meetings to have a meeting to have a meeting...lol
Very delicate situation there that have never gotten along since the beginning of time and now we are asking them in 7 years to come up with a plan that will benefit themselves and possibly the world
and they have the pressure of getting it done....they know what they have - they are not under pressure....they believe everybody is waiting on them....not to change on a global scale, economic scale, or a corporation, etc...more important They are saying...We have to make sure we have all of our eyes dotted and all Ts crossed for us because if this falls apart and we don't present a Unified Iraq going forward we will have failed and if we have a fracture later on down the line and we have not put the mechanisms in place to make sure that we can have success that we want the world to see we failed.....
This process right now is determining the Future of Iraq and where they will stand...and we are Seeing this happening right before our eyes.....this event tells me that relatively soon here when Talabani comes back.....He has an ear to everything that is going on...

"Talabani's office denies the deterioration of his health, he points out exercising is currently in Berlin"
The team discusses Talabani's health and the many articles that came out with conflicting stories
Talabani said not only am I fine..he knows exactly what is going on
Not only am I aware of what is going on...I have constant communication witht he leaders and I am for Reform
I had a complete knee replacement....he is 78 yrs old...has health conditions and had to go thru rehab...Has to be put thru rigorous rehab in order to get him back to speed
He is telling us today that he knows exactly what is going on...he is fully aware of where we are trying to get to...also trying to get back as soon as he can
I expect him to come back soon....if he can get on a plane....he can recuperate in Iraq...right now they need him....With what is going on with the government you have to strike when its hot
Right now we have a concept going on in Iraq
Everybody is hot...everybody is ready to move....All parties are in Agreement.....they have come to a Reform Agreement
This is what Jufairi has been putting out - I am not only creating the Reforms for the National Alliance
Hakim the diplomat in this whole thing asking all these open ended questions taking notes and saying this is how all the parties feel - saying if we can take our feelings and put them aside...lets work this out and get it done
When Talabani comes back they are preparing for it....
Other articles came out saying Talabani was coming back soon..they were calling for him to come back yesterday...I don't know that he is NOT back.....I will tell you he is coming soon....Barney says it best - he calls him "Talabani Claus"..well Talabani Claus is coming to town...With the news we had tonight....we as a Team have been waiting and waiting and been on Talabani watch for him to show up....well today was the day he showed up..he said look I know exactly whats going on - I am fine...I am not dying - the news reports was untrue....I had a complete total hip replacement....

RECAP - Government - LJ's Next Step Team

Everybody is ready to go....they have come to a Reform
We are moving towards reforms and we are moving towards them fast...The Iraqayi List is in Amman Jordan in meetings over there and they said Allawi has a victory...
Well what is Allawi's victory in this?
Allawis victory in this is that he gets the National Council of Strategic Policy...If the reform speaks of him getting his National Strategic Policy and we have a true power share then Allawi has won....
If Barzani says that he is going to meet and they will regain confidence in Maliki then what does that tell us?
That tells us that HCL and Article 140 has been mentioned, addressed and agreed to within the reforms...
What does Maliki want? He wants not to be questioned..he wants to stay in power...he is going to have to share it but he wants to stay in a position to share power and he wants to offer these positions to the Natl Alliance and have them represent what he wants...
Believe me all three of them know exactly what the others want.....all 3 of them know it...thats what Reform Means..that whats the Dialogue has meant....so we should be extremely excited...I know we want the RV yesterday....

Don....Obviously we want to go ahead with the RV...the one thing we found that was very exciting when we were on the Talabani watch is the fact when we had not heard from him in 2 weeks then Chalabi goes over there with some of the Council of Ministers......actually visited him which was a good thing...
Guys it is looking really really good ..very excited that they are moving in the directions where we need them to move
Just the fact that all 3 of these groups get together and having these high level preparatory meetings tells us wonders

And there you have it...
