8-14-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar THE CURRENCY: The clock does not start with the formation of the new government as I had thought all along. The clock will start on the first verifiable news that Maliki is gone. Within 48 hours, TURKI WILL PULL THE TRIGGER. This is a currency with potential at any number they come out at. They are only producing 50% of the oil they intend to be producing by 2020, 6 short years from now. They will have solved their government problems and if they can get their act together economically, they will be the richest country in the world. Their currency should continue to increase in value over at least the next 5-6 years. [post 2 of 2]
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar In the next 24-48 hours we should see the departure of Maliki. Maliki had filed a lawsuit with the Supreme court as a last stand. The lawsuit is intended to stall or stop the formation of the government. The court if they do rule, will favor the citizens of Iraq. It will fall in favor of the new government. This afternoon Maliki got with his party and announced he will no longer seek the PM position. Rumor has it that he has accepted a deal. He has been granted some part of an immunity deal and has agreed to leave Iraq. Today there was a protest in the streets of Bagdad. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru wmawhite "Maliki: I withdraw my candidacy for PM in favour of Abadi to safeguard unity & stability of Iraq, political processz" "Maliki: I have not asked for any position in return for stepping down" IMO the subject now changes from Maliki to the forming of the government and the passing of the budget because the new government can not do anything with the budget until the status of the IQD changes. Remember what Turki stated the first day after the election in April...basically, when the political is decided/complete I will not hesitate to move forward and complete the project. Iraq will never be able to conduct international commerce unless the status changes of the IQD. I see no advantage to Iraq coming onto the world market at a low rate.
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday YES IT IS OFFICIAL --- MALIKI HAS RESIGNED AND WOW WHAT PERFECT TIMING WITH EVERYTHING ELSE -- NOW I AM OFFICIALLY EXCITED...
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels "Official: Al-Maliki to step down and convinces withdrew his complaint in Federal Court ."
8-14-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony Maliki gives speech announcing his departure alongside successor @haideralabadi and other Shia. Washingtonpost: "Iraq's embattled prime minister Nouri al-Maliki will step down" Its a great day to be you.
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru lojak "BREAKING: Maliki speech beginning now, standing with Dawa party leaders, is stepping down!" Article: "Iraq's al-Maliki to back new prime minister, officials say" Guys, you may start your engines...Maliki gone is what many have been waiting on for a long time...as a matter of fact SInce August 8, 2013--which was 30 business days after they were released from chapter 7 sanctions.
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday ABADI BEGAN RIGHT AWAY WITH THE FORMATION OF THE GOV AND THAT IS GREAT – THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE FEDERAL COURT RULING TO ENSURE THAT IT IS ACCEPTED AS BEING RIGHT AND TO MOVE FORWARD – ALSO THAT THE ONLY POSITION MALIKI WANTS IS THE PM SO THAT IS GREAT TOO. UNDERSTAND THAT HE HAS MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT AFTER THE DECISION HE WILL AGREE TO STEP DOWN SO WE ARE WAITING AND SO IS THE ENTIRE PLAN - REFORMS - AND ALL COUNTRIES
8-14-2014 Intel Guru Frank26 I am of the Mano a Mano school that believes in a 1 to 1 rate. The MoP and MoF know about 1.16/1.17 because it is derived from the program rate of 1166 via the removal of one digit. They told the GOI in 2010 that would not work ...That they needed a rate of 3.2108 and to add 20% more to it for 2011. Then o pulled us out at the end of that year and the rate was mugged by M with his demands of Dr Shabibi and the CBI. When M FIRED Dr S ...The rate simply went into hibernation until ...Stability and Security returned. In other words ...OUR TROOPS!!! So, IMO, IF 1 to 1 is the 2014 budget's fundamental start then the topic of 1 or 1.16/1.17 is ready to surface Without any FEAR.
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday [Is there in documentation that support the lower denom existence?] YES THERE IS -- THEY REPORTED THAT THEY HAVE PRINTED THEM AND ALSO WE HAVE READ LAST NIGHT THAT THE 100 AND THE 10,000 ETC WILL BEGIN EXCHANGE BY THE END OF THE MONTH IN THE PLAN TO REMOVE THE THREE ZERO CURRENCY. THE INTERNATIONAL LAW REQUIRES THAT WHEN A CURRENCY (LEGAL TENDER) IS DISCONTINUED -- THAT IT IS RECOGNIZED FOR A STATED AMOUNT OF TIME – IT IS A SIGNED LEGAL PROMISSORY NOTE -- IT IS NOT GOING TO BE JUST INVALID. THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY...
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels Article: "The head of the Iraq Center for Media Development, a member of the state of law coalition , Adnan al-Sarraj announced the postponement of the Federal Supreme Court, to Maliki's appeal concerning Haider Abadi assignment and the formation of the next government, until further notice." [im guessing M could have gotten the court to stall?] possible, but i would like to think that the stakes and pressures too great to "play" with or protract this situation any longer. [Are you saying they dismissed Maliki's challenge?] i am not. the article says expressly that any decision is postponed until further notice...my sense is that Maliki cannot "win" the appeal.
8-14-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 Maliki has become a moot point... One of Abadi's first moves is out...he is meeting with the Kurds in Kurdistan. They are meeting over the seating of the government and setting the roadmap that will help benefit future negotiations and resolve outstanding issues. The Kurds FIRST in this process is just spectacular.
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru lojak The US advised Abadi against doing his Press conference yesterday in Parliament and announcing his cabinet, to let the legal system do its thing. Since they ( the court) basically have passed, saying that the situaion has pretty much resolved itself with the Dawa party and Sistani statements--I would think that Abadi will probably move forward. BUT, it is my understanding that we (US/UN) want Maliki out...before any real military support happens and the RV occurs. There is a timer, and if he wants to live happily ever after, Maliki better take a deal. [post 2 of 2]
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru lojak Article: "Bayraktar: Federal Court needs more time to decide on the pretext of al-Maliki" IMO, they arent going to rule, and are saying in essence that the situation is going to/or has resolved itself, in that the DAWA party has publicly dumped Maliki and Sastani is meeting with Abadi. The court has gone fishing--Maliki better pack his bags. It is my understanding that he is on a short timer. He better take a deal that has been put on the table or he may be meeting his maker. But the court clearly is saying that with the Dawa party and Sistani statements, this court ruling is not necessary. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-14-2014 Intel Guru Jester SOMETHING IS HAPPENING...THERE ARE SOME BANKING TYPE THINGS THAT ARE BEING DONE THAT WERE NOT POSSIBLE BEFORE... TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY... WHAT HAPPENED TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE NOW... THE THEORY IS...A DOMINO FELL AND CAUSED SOMETHING IN THE CASH FLOW TO CHANGE... SO THEY ARE DOING THINGS TO PROP UP THE CASH FLOW... WE'LL SEE.
8-14-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 THE BEAUTIFUL PART OF THIS IS WHILE THEY ARE PUSHING MALIKI OUT OF THE PICTURE AND THEY WILL ...THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO IGNORE MALIKI AND KEEP DOING THEIR JOBS AND THE NEW PM IS MOVING FAST TO GET HIS CABINET SET AND READY TO PRESENT TO THE COUNTRY WITHIN THE NEXT 7 DAYS. WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE RV AND I THINK WELL WITHIN THIS MONTH AS LONG AS THEY CONTINUE THEIR FOCUS AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD. TURKI HAS PLENTY OF SMALL DENOM TO RELEASE SO THATS NOT A HOLD UP AS SOME ARE SAYING.
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [what still remains to be completed so an RV can happen?] At this time - successfully seat the new Prime Minister, form the new Government which should be much more friendly and likely to make the HCL a reality, control the situation with IS. [do you see things now more in our favor and moving quicker?] I do see things moving quicker now - if they successfully replace Maliki with Abadi, things should be much better for all of Iraq.
8-14-2014 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Maliki is still squirming as to be expected...IMO...he wants time to clear out his office...IMO...hidden meaning there...to purge any incriminating files that no one else needs to see...at this point he is not a well liked individual and because of the power that he has grown accustomed to having about him....he is reluctant to give it away. It has also been pointed out that even some of Maliki's own allies may turn against him...especially those who have other loyalties in addition to just him. Continue to watch the news...especially that of and from the CBI.
8-13-2014 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article: "Statement of the Islamic Dawa Party on the mandate of Dr. Haider Abadi, the formation of new government" Maliki's own party has denounced him in favor of Abadi. Maliki has nothing left.
8-13-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony There have also announcements made about the banking system in the last 24 hours, and those do affect the RV in a very encouraging way. The IMF officially recognized that Iraq has an internationally traded currency. That has completely gone through. This morning we got a call from an Iraqi citizen in another country, and he said that today, for the first time, he could use his Qi card internationally. They are dancing in the streets about that. [If they are able to spend money on the Qi cards internationally, then how far behind can we be?] We are not telling you that in an hour you will be at the bank, but I can tell you that we are here. We are in a window, everyone is prepared...
8-13-2014 Intel Guru DC Bottom line, folks, is that things look very, very good. It’s similar to Monday where we had concrete steps in Iraq and to push the RV out. Iraq is making credible moves forward. Maliki has moved most of his papers out of his office and burned many of his files...Maliki is still there, but not really in play. The CBI and others have put out press statements saying they are implementing banking reforms, and the revaluation as it applies to everyone’s financial balance sheets. They have to use the new rates to reflect the new dinar. [some sources have been saying the Iraqi government has to be seated and stable, and until then Turki will not release the RV?] We have a good feel for where the CBI stands, and we don’t think that’s really an issue any longer. WE have been told to ramp up our preparations we believe this is coming out on a short timeframe.
8-13-2014 Intel Guru Randy Koonce Guys this process will be in and all over the news over here...if you have watched fox for the last few days they have been covering Iraq closely and everyone including the Ayatollah Khomeini from Iran has told Maliki to step down... So the steps that we are looking for is Maliki out of the GOI and Political process and Country then the RV will take place...Not before. No one has cashed out any Dinar and it will not be over 8 bucks. Just wait and this thing will happen. It is getting closer. The Reason they still call Maliki PM is because he has not stepped down but in reality he should have no power. But we will see the end within the next few days...And by end I mean Maliki out of the country. [post 2 of 2]
8-13-2014 Intel Guru Randy Koonce AS long as Maliki is In the County the RV will not take place, the powers at be do not want Maliki to get credit for the RV...Does Maliki have a chance to remain PM of Iraq? NO. NO. NO. He only has the ability to delay his leaving. The Iraq President picked Ibadi as the next PM and Maliki has screamed ever since.... they were smart tho because Ibadi was from the same party as Maliki and because of the Pick it fractured the Party and Maliki now only has 28 people to support him and he would need 167. So as you can see...His only play is the delay leaving with every trick he can think of or go live in London where his house is and family. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-13-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 TODAY IN IRAQ THEY HAVE TO TAKE A 25,000.00 NOTE TO BUY A 1/2 GALLON MILK...AFTER THIS RV HAPPENS THEY WILL TAKE $3.50...JUST LIKE WE WILL EXCEPT WE WILL HAVE A LOT MORE $$$$$$$ AVAILABLE. THE PRICES IN THEIR STORES WILL ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. ALL PRICING WILL HAVE TO BE CHANGED THATS WHY EVEN DR SHABIBI SAID IT WOULD TAKE A MINIMUM OF THREE DAYS TO MAKE THE CHANGES THAT WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN.
8-13-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Another important point - the new President of Iraq is a Kurd (Sunni), but the new choice for Prime Minister was chosen out of the same political party as Maliki. This is a strong indicator of exactly how powerful the Shiite clan is in Baghdad and in the government there, which begs the question...Will a new PM make a difference? After much research on the new choice for PM Haider Al-Abadi, I think it will. Although they are of the same political party, Haider Al-Abadi is a much different man than Maliki... Abadi appears to be more of a diplomat. He will be much more likely to reach across the aisle and compromise or even help the Kurds, and that's something that is desperately needed right now. So at this time, we wait a short 27 more days to see if Abadi can be successful in actually pushing Maliki out and forming a government. [post 2 of 2]
8-13-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana I've said it before, and I'll say it again...sometimes it's good to be wrong. I've held onto the belief that Maliki would remain in the position of Prime Minister, but now there is a serious chance that he will be replaced. For those of you just tuning in, President Fuad Masum has made a bold move and declared Haider Al-Abadi the new PM, and gave him 30 days to form the government. There are a couple of things to consider on the matter, so I won't be making any statements like "He is GONE" - it would be foolish to underestimate Maliki and possibly over-estimate the new President Fuad Masum's ability to stand by his decision. Maliki does have supporters and is indeed a very powerful man in Iraq. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-13-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 The word I have is Maliki has recognized the new PM and agreed and set conditions are being worked out for his (Maliki) departure...The news is conflicting so we shall see.
I believe...Maliki leaving.
8-13-2014 Intel Guru EXOGEN The new Iraq Prime Minister should be permanently positioned within the next 24-48 hours, and transition from Prime Minister Designate to the acting Prime Minister. The cabinet is close to 90% completed, and the required number of seats for a complete GOI has been reduced. All central banks have been integrated globally with the new banking system...Global arrests are taking place daily and LIVE rates are showing up WORLD WIDE. International currency holders should start checking their banking resources "minute by minute" as the rate "ROLLS OUT" from EAST to WEST. The Iraq international Smart cards are projected to be activated this WEEK!
8-13-2014 Intel guru Frank26 There is a form of peaceful protest going on within this NEW GOI against M [Maliki]. They are very impressive. Basically, They are clearing out of the way of M's Line of sight. The next few hours or days Will not be pretty for M...They will be pretty ugly.
8-13-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar The dollar is not sound. The plan to fix the dollar starts with the dinar. The plan to fix the world economy starts with the dollar. If we don't at some point fix the dollar and the dollar caves in value, every country out there will be affected. That's what the IMF has been trying to fix in conjunction with every major institution and if you understand and believe this, then it is not too difficult to fill in the blanks on why this experiment in Iraq has to work and has to be successful. If I am right and I believe I am, it also has to be done soon or the growth of our debt most likely will outgrow the plans ability to fix it.
8-13-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday [Is al-Abadi officially in his position?] NOT UNTIL HE FORMS THE GOV AND THEY WILL BE BROUGHT IN ALL TOGETHER -- HIM AND THE MINISTERS. HE HAS 15 DAYS TO SHOW PROGRESS AND 30 DAYS TO HAVE ALL IN PLACE. THE OATH IS TAKEN WHEN THE PRESIDENT AND PARLIAMENT IS HAPPY WITH THE MINISTERS IN PLACE. I SEE NOTHING THAT SAYS THEY HAVE TO WAIT.
8-13-2014 Intel Guru Jester SO...GOT US A NEW PM... DINAR LAND IS ALL CONFUZZLED...WONDER WHAT THEY WILL COME UP WITH NEXT? THE BANKING SYSTEM IS DOING FUNKY STUFF... THINGS THAT WERE NOT HAPPENING BEFORE ARE ALL OF A SUDDEN POSSIBLE... HMMMM...IT IS LIKE THEY ARE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHIFT AND GOT CAUGHT IN BETWEEN...AND THEY NEED TO DO SOME STUFF TO KEEP THE CASH FLOW MOVING...NO WAY OF KNOWING WHO IS LETTING IT HAPPEN... ALL I KNOW IS THEY NEED MONEY AND CASH FLOW TO KEEP THINGS MOVING... WE'LL SEE.
8-13-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 [is the dinar that we hold going to stay as the Iraqi currency?] OUR DINAR WILL BE GOOD AND WILL BE PHASED OUT AS COLLECTED AFTER THE RV AND WE WILL HAVE TIME TO EXCHANGE.
8-13-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday THE RV --- IT IS DEFINED AS A REVALUE --- THAT MEANS THAT THE VALUE OF THE CURRENCY WOULD BE CHANGED TO WHAT IT SHOULD BE --A CALCULATED VALUE THAT WILL BE ON THE UN SITE AND ALSO THEIR TRADE VALUE. WHEN THEY ARE DECLARED INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR TRADE -- AS IN THE FREE MARKET ECONOMY -- THEY WILL RELEASE THE VALUE THEY HOLD IN TRADE FOR EVERY COUNTRY ON FOREX AND ALL TRADE SITES AND CBI -- WE EXPECT THEM TO BE WORTH MORE THAN THEY ARE RIGHT NOW -- SO WHEN THEY RELEASE HOW MUCH THEY ARE WORTH WHEN SOLD FOR US DOLLAR -- YOU WILL TAKE THEM TO HAVE THEM EXCHANGED THEN. [post 3 of 3]
8-13-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday THE ONLY WAY THE SMALL DENOMS AND THE MONETARY POLICY CAN BE LAUNCHED AND A FREE MARKET ECONOMY CAN BE ACTIVATED FOR IRAQ IS FOR THE TRUE VALUE AND THE INTERNATIONAL RATES TO BE CALCULATED AND RELEASED -- REMEMBER THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT USING THE MASTERCARDS AND THE SMART CARDS ...TO HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL RATE FOR ALL COUNTRIES AND THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE A FREE MARKET ECONOMY AND BUY ON THE INTERNET IS TO HAVE INTERNATIONAL RATES THAT ARE TRUE -- THE RATE IT IS RIGHT NOW WAS IMPOSED AT 1166--- OR AROUND AND THIS IS NOT WHAT THE VALUE IS OF THE DINAR NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN --- IN HISTORY. THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ACTIVATING THE MASTERCARD AND LAUNCHING FREE MARKET ECONOMY SAYS TOTAL ECONOMIC REFORM. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
8-13-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday THE REPORT WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST FEW DAYS ABOUT THE PRINTING WAS OF SMALL DENOMS. THEY ARE CALLING TO REPLACE THE CURRENCY AND CHANGE THE COUNTRY FINANCIALLY.

8-12-2014 Newshound Guru lojak Article quote: "Prime Minister-designate Haider Abadi began talks with the parties of the country's parliament on the formation of a new government." Abadi had the list of his suggested cabinet yesterday, and was already pitching their names in Parliament. He'll be done much sooner than the articles suggest.
8-12-2014 Intel Guru TerryK SO WE HAVE A NEW PM SWORN IN TODAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CARDS ARE BEING PUT OUT TOMORROW...FOOD RATION CARDS. SO HERE IS WHAT I GOT TODAY...WE WILL SEE THIS THURSDAY. I DID NOT GET A RATE. SO LETS ALL KEEP OUR EARS PEALED FOR TOMORROW BUT WORD IS WE WILL SEE IT THURSDAY. THE BLESSING IS UPON US ALL. THIS IS OUR WEEK.
8-12-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 I CAN SAY YES THE WORST IS ABOUT OVER WITH MALIKI. AS I STATED YESTERDAY I EXPECTED ABOUT 3 DAYS BEFORE MALIKI IS GONE OR HE IS ARRESTED AND REMOVED FROM PUBLIC. SEEMS HE IS LEAVING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AND THE NEW PM HAS SAID IN PUBLIC HE WILL FINISH AND PRESENT HIS NEW CABINET WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, NOT THE MONTH HE HAS AVAILABLE. THIS SOUNDS GREAT SO COME ON TURKI GET WITH THE PROGRAM AND TURN OUR MONEY LOOSE. [post 2 of 2]
8-12-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 just received this from a friend...The situation although not completely resolved now looks as if it will be in short order. Maliki's relatives have come out asking him to step down and transfer power to the new government peacefully. Maliki's own legal department that has always done his bidding has now stated they will no longer work for Maliki but instead now work for the new government. The army which was my biggest fear because some were loyal to Maliki, are now on record saying they no longer answer to Maliki but answer to and will protect the new government. Obama came out in total support of the new government warning Maliki to back off and step down. Iran has recognized the new government as has Europe. One by one everyone is acknowledging change is here. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar I was the biggest proponent of an 86 cent dinar on the internet. I have abandoned that number because of things that I have come to realize and things I have found out. So bless all of you for hanging tough. Maliki stood in the way of progress in Iraq and the RV. He is very close to being gone. The people in Iraq are dancing in the streets of Bagdad today chanting Bye Bye Maliki. That's not a fantasy of mine, they really are in the streets chanting Bye Bye Maliki. This is the first time they are in the streets dancing and singing. The second time they [will] do it in a week or two from now, so will you and I. I assure you. [post 3 of 3]
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar It is my belief that as soon as the new government is complete and seated, Turki will do his thing. This is what I believe and has been backed up by intel that concurred my belief. ...I will hang tough on the next statement. The RV will be within three days of the government being seated and it is still $3.71 per dinar. I have come to this number based on 4 or 5 conversations and on experiences I have had over the last three months. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar Today Maliki forced the CBI to wire transfer 328 million dollars. Another sign that he is preparing to leave the country IMO. It is now my opinion that he will run in the next 24 hours. Abadi is pushing to quickly finish building this government. He has stated he will be ready next week with his list of Ministers to take over their new positions. This list will be given to parliament and at that time they will vote to make it a government. The vote will be close or at unanimous because these guys are now for the first time all working from the same page. Even the SOL guys are working in unison with the parliament for the first time. Yesterday Abadi dismissed Maliki's Ministers telling them they are through. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday "Hashemi Iraq seeks to open the horizons of cooperation banking on the Arab and international levels through the establishment of a banking relationship with them..."

THE BEST ARTICLE OF THE DAY IS THIS. ARMED FORCES PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO NEW GOVERNMENT. This takes the stinger out of Maliki.
8-12-2014 Intel Guru TerryK Article quotes: "Announced the new Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi assigned by the President of the Republic, that the ministerial cab will be ready within the next week." "naming ministers next government will be announced next week, but not accepted for the delay, stressing that the minister will be named on the basis of competence, integrity and history of all people of good candidates. He added, We are keen on the participation of all political forces in the next government in order to build a democratic process sober."
8-12-2014 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "Finance Minister agency purity of net debt, balancing the budget in 2014 will switch from anticipatory planning to realistic budget based on real numbers" Budgets based upon "real numbers"...the world at large should wake up and pay attention to this effort...it could be the first of its kind...if I am not mistaken several days ago I saw mixed in a news article that Abadi had been placed in charge of the temporary committee when it was formed back in July to study the budget and bring back possible solutions to Parliament...If that is so...could that have been an early "sign" of things to come in that he would eventually be the Prime Minister and intimately involved in the budgeting process anyway...
8-12-2014 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Everyone - including the formerly "pro-Maliki" SJC has started the process of distancing themselves from him... much of this bluster about lawsuits is just that. [if the seating of the COM doesn't trigger the RV I give up guessing.] it doesn't "have to". [Prob need to implement some laws first?] Not IMHO. IMHO - once Maliki is "gone" - completely, is when our possibilities are more likely.

THIS MAN HAS BEEN IN THE POLITICAL ARENA FOR A LONG TIME AND IS WELL RESPECTED WITH ALL PARTIES AND HAS GREAT RESPECT FOR THE GOV AND THE LAW -- AND ALSO WAS WITHIN THE FINANCIAL GOV...HE HAS A LONG RESUME'. THIS PM HAS CLAIMED AND SHOWN THAT HE IS ALL FOR THE CITIZENS OF ALL OF IRAQ.
8-11-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 HE NOW HAS 30 DAYS TO FORM HIS NEW GOI PANEL BUT FROM ALL INDICATIONS AT THIS TIME HE WILL MOVE VERY FAST TO COMPLETE THIS STAFF. GUYS HE IS FROM A FINANCIAL POSITION AND HAS BEEN FAMILIAR WITH THE CBI AND TURKI'S NEEDS FOR SOME TIME. HE ACCORDING TO ALL THE NEWS WILL PUSH FINANCE FIRST.

8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "Central bank: we have maintained the stability of the currency despite the instability in the markets" What better lead off story than from the CBI and Governor Turki this morning...he insists that despite the turmoil witnessed in the markets in recent days and the ongoing security issues around the country the CBI has maintained strong stability with the currency at the same time...he says the bank attempts to work equally with private banks and government banks alike...Turki is going a good job of showing strength for the CBI during all the upside down issues that Iraq is experiencing.
8-11-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony Over the weekend, on Saturday, Maliki moved stuff out of his office and started burning documents. Then on Sunday he changed his mind. But things are not as bad as it is portrayed to be. It may sound bad but it is right where we need it to be. We looked at all the news from around the world and we keep seeing "Iraqi crisis" but it's going from crisis to Christmas. I don't expect it to take a long time but I don't expect it to happen in the next hour either. It still could be a tremendous week, month for us. We're in a good place. [post 2 of 2]
8-11-2014 Intel Guru TNT Tony [via Duke] The US Admin already made it clear they would back the new president before Sunday. So we knew who the new PM was. Because Iraq is so vital the entire world is taking a strong interest in this. Abadi has good reps and connections with all the sects and this will have a very calming affect throughout the country. [Have they officially sworn in the new PM?] It's in the Gazette and is being shown on CNN and in the US news. We got it from other countries before we heard it here. Yes, it's official. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-11-2014 Intel Guru DC [via Duke] ...this morning they made it official, published it in the Gazette - made it official, that Abadi is the new PM. They have a judiciary ruling so it's unlikely changes will be made. The CBI said "we're good, let's go" and they're ready with a timeline, which we were asked not to share. In summary: everything in Iraq is wonderful. The PM drama has subsided in the past 2 hours, per texts I've been getting. It's becoming more secure and stable by the minute. The new PM has triggered events and we are all extremely optimistic that the timeline is close.
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Doc We do concur with a very few...that the likelihood of a significant RV is virtually zero. All factually information suggest the plan is for appreciation over time as the economy expands. We still have not ruled out an initial small RV but it is very obvious the plan for major currency valuation increase is from gradual appreciation. Unfortunately none of this is likely in the near to mid term with stability in the country. We report, you decide. [post 2 of 2]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Doc To speculate who will be PM at this point is a frustrating exercise. Rumors are all over the map and as we've repeatedly said we do not promote rumors. The key is actually very simple. What we want is the new PM/GOI to bring a sense of stability to the country. And we believe this will only happen if the GOI strikes an inclusive balance between the blocs. If it doesn't civil war may rage on for some time now. The reality of the situation is the currency will be pressured to move not in our favor as long as this situation exists. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday Report quote: "al-Sadr congratulated Abadi for assignment formation of the government and discussed with him the political benefits to come." AS WE SEE -- HAIDER AL-ABADI IS FORMING THE NEW GOV...HE HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE POSITION OF PM AT THIS POINT ... HE IS NOT SWORN IN SO FAR AS I CAN SEE... HE IS DESIGNATED TO BE PM. --- BUT THE GOV IS TO BE FORMED BY HIM...IF HE FAILS TO START WORKING WHICH IS VERY DOUBTED BY ALL -- HE WILL BE REPLACED WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS. HUGE NEWS. THIS WILL MOVE FORWARD TO BE STABILITY QUICKLY. THE UN IS HAPPY AND STATING THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE HIS JOB IN NAMING WHO IS TO FORM THE NEXT GOV.
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar Turki put the following article out this morning saying the dinar is stable and has been unaffected throughout this process of government change, one of the two requirements for monetary change the other being the government issue "settled". The laws pertaining to money laundering are in place and the banking system is complying to international banking laws. Through this article and his statements, he is implying that Iraq is ready for a monetary change. Article: "Governor of the Central Bank and the Agency Abdul Basit Turki 08/11/2014 14:50 Tomorrow's Press / Baghdad: Student Central Bank of Iraq, Monday, private banks and financial trading companies to adopt mechanisms to the financial statements in accordance with the international regulations accredited."

8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Tlar Iraq is in compliance with IMF's article VIII international currency rules which means they are ready to go international with their currency. The WTO says that Iraq has met all regulations to become a full member and is just waiting on the WTO to stamp their certificate of ascension (I believe they are doing what the WTO said they would do in 2009 and that is the minute Iraq goes international with their currency and gives it value, they will get that stamp).

8-11-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 JUST GOT ANOTHER TEXT SAYING TURKI WILL REMAIN AT LEAST FOR A TRANSITION PERIOD OF THE NEW GOI, SO THAT SOUNDS VERY GOOD. WE KNOW HE HAS WANTED TO RESIGN FOR SOME TIME AND TRIED UNDER MALIKI BUT THAT WAS BECAUSE OF DISAGREEMENT WITH THE POSITION MALIKI KEPT PUTTING HIM IN. THIS IS SOUNDING VERY PROMISING. WE CAN SEE FOR SURE THOUGH THEY ARE NOT STATUS QUO THEY ARE IN A URGENT MOVE FORWARD MODE. WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NEW PM WE HAVE NOW INCREASED OUR POSSIBILITY OF THE RV BY 50% OR BETTER AT ANYTIME NOW.
8-11-2014 Intel Guru Bluwolf Listen up, Iraqs distress is because of the new PM being announced. US military are in place to assure that everything transpires accordingly to democratically elected law. Once it is evidently acknowledge through there Gazette (and it has) your rv is your new reality. We are all ready, everything will go silent in a heartbeat, expect your blessings now.
8-11-2014 Intel Guru SteveI I have every reason to believe my sources that is telling me that former Prime Minister Maliki is now officially history. Yes will continue to rattle some cages, but nothing will become of it. I hope now focuses on his exit plans vs. his continued third term. I do believe it he stays and causes trouble, he will be arrested pursuant to the current charges against him in the International Courts. Our day is almost here. Now the next focus will be the rest of the laws including the budget. Bright days ahead for all of us.
8-11-2014 Intel Guru Mnt Goat So today’s news is all very, very good news as it went from very bad to very good in a couple of days once again. So the clock stops ticking and the new PM was announced today on Monday. Ibrahim al-Jaafari said today in a statement that the alliance of Shiite political parties has agreed to nominate Haider al-Ibadi to replace Maliki and to form a new government. He is also voted in by parliament and accepted by the majority. He has not however taken his oath of office yet to begin his job. Since the PM is now selected (the third of the three presidents) we wait for the oath of office to be administered and the public announcement. This will be our sign that the RV is just around the corner. I want to emphasize once again this final announcement of the IQD going international will not happen until the USA feels the Iraq government is stable, non-sectarian and is a functional government.
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru lojak Its getting more "official" by the minute! Quotes: "Jaafari's office: infallible Abadi officially commissioned and convey it in a press conference" "Nominated and the Iraqi National Alliance, earlier in the day Monday, first deputy chairman of the Council of Representatives Haider Abadi for prime minister, a majority of 127 deputies." For over a month, it has been blatantly clear in articles that he [Maliki] was going to leave. I think he may now just move on fairly quickly. With the Supreme Court ruling against him today...he is totally without recourse. he is still PM of the caretaker govt until they vote in Abadi...according to a phone call I just got. the state dept has already met with Jabouri and Masaoum and is pushing hard to get this to Parl at the earliest moment.
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru tman23 Isn't all the news just GRAND! A COUP...NO COUP...IN, OUT, UP, DOWN...A negative following every positive...Misinformation is abundant. But official reports now say Adadi is the name...There will be no constitutional legal arguments that have any merit, not with the US, Britain, France, and Japan overseeing the finer details.
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels Quote: "Haydar al-Abbadi is a former finance minister who is well liked by groups outside the Daawa and State of Law, who elected him as deputy speaker for the new parliament earlier. He will now have 30 days to present his cabinet for approval by the Iraqi parliament with an absolute majority." [post 2 of 2]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Chattels Quote: "Haydar al-Abbadi Is the New Iraq PM Candidate Posted by Reidar Visser on Monday, 11 August 2014 13:48...Today, what remains of the pan-Shiite National Alliance formally presented Haydar al-Abbadi of the Daawa party as their PM candidate. Abbadi will be charged by President Fuad Masum to replace the current PM, Nuri al-Maliki." Let's revel for a moment in the prospect of peace and harmony in Iraq. [So this new guy might be supportive of RV being former finance minister?] Godspeed the completion of the Iraqi banking sector reform project! Come "RV"! [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday I WOULD SAY THAT THE ISSUE UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW WILL BE RESOLVED...SPECIAL FORCES WOULD RESOLVE THIS VERY QUICKLY. SO KNOW THAT THIS WILL NOT BE AN ON GOING EVENT BY ANY MEANS. [if the US decides to stay in Iraq will they have to stay at the imposed rate? or can they still RV?] THEY ARE WORKING ON THE REFORMS SEPARATELY FROM THE SECURITY ISSUES --- THEY CAN STILL MOVE FORWARD AS WE SEE THE PROGRESS THEY ARE DOING NOW. [Do we need the Budget passed for the RV? Or no?] NOT IN MY OPINION. [post 2 of 2]
8-11-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday MALIKI IS SAYING THAT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NAMED THE PM AND THAT THE PRESIDENT WENT AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION BUT EVERYONE ELSE IS DISAGREEING - INCLUDING THE US...HE IS TRYING TO MAKE THE POINT THAT THE ATTACKS WILL GET WORSE DUE TO HIM NOT BEING PUT IN AS PM. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO SERVE THE 3RD TERM -- HE IS THERE UNTIL THE NEW PM IS PLACED. WHAT MALIKI AND HIS FRIENDS ARE DOING IS ILLEGAL -- HE IS NOT ABLE TO CONSPIRE WITH THUGS AND HOLD PEOPLE AT GUN POINT OF THE IRAQI GOV AND THREATEN OR SCARE OR PLACE TERRORISTIC THREATS...
