UU6817 –“Extreme Pressure to Complete the Needed Reforms” by Mnt Goat

Hello Everyone,

Now that everyone is rested from my last couple news letters I am going to hit you with a really long one today…lol….. Please, please read it all. It is full of so much information.

Today’s news is all about UNDERSTANDING what is really going on with the new prime minister Abadi’s reforms. So if you really want up to the minute news – here it is.

No hype about a pending RV this week….so sorry!

But I will say I believe we may be heading for another good opportunity for a window to RV coming up in the later part of October/early November if all goes well accordingly. I can not tell you the plan since it is not meant for your ears as you would only hype it up and spread rumors anyhow about it.

I am not saying it is going to RV come mid October/November either. I only said IF, and only IF Iraq can accomplish their goals they will be inline to RV.

So what does Iraq still have left to accomplish?
I HAVE TOLD YOU THESE ITEMS OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN PAST NEWS LETTERS. Please go back and read them. (Link to the Mnt Goat Category at Recaps) Sorry no space in this news letter to review them once again today.

So now let’s get on with the news of today.

Today’s News

Today is Monday October 12th and still no RV. So what is taking it so long?

We simply had to wait for the events to unfold that are required to bring the political stability, physical security and the economic stability needed for this RV event to occur. Why would they bring back the currency when the reason they shut it down in the first place is still evident? Iraq must get to a state of stability or there will be no RV….get it? But when will they reach the needed of stability?

In my last news letter I talked about what is happening in all three of these categories of stability and I let you be the judge to tell me if you see an RV on the very near horizon unless Abadi can get his reforms instituted sooner than later.

So two weeks ago, last week, and over this past weekend once again we witnessed massive protests and demonstrations in the streets of Iraq over the inability to get these needed reforms completed.

I quote from one of the articles below– “The capital Baghdad and 10 Iraqi provinces are (Babylon, Karbala, Najaf, Diwaniyah and Muthanna, Dhi Qar, Wasit, Maysan, Basra and Diyala) is witnessing massive demonstrations since more than a month to condemn the poor services and corruption in government institutions and the judiciary, resulting in many of the reforms announced by the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi”.

The pressure is on the Abadi government to set a timeframe and not let this go on forever, which seems to be the case sometimes. But he can’t do it alone he needs the full backing of parliament. Could this be why the religious leaders and instigating these demonstrations (to force parliament to get off their xxxxx and get these laws passed.

So today I present you with four very recent articles on this topic below. WOW four on the same topic?

Remember I told you when we see so much news on the same topic to pay close attention. Something is about to happen in this area of concern. It is not coincidental.

Please don’t anyone dare tell me the reforms are all done or that they are not important for the RV. You would simply have to be either brain dead or a complete idiot to think otherwise. Yes – I am talking to many of you so called intel”gurus” out there.

These articles I present today tell a couple interesting points:
1) that the accountability and justice law is not yet passed in parliament;

2) the accountability and justice law is VERY important and needed in the next step to prosecuting these corrupt officials thus the lack of these reforms is holding up the process of prosecuting them.

3) the citizens are at a breaking point. They have had enough of procrastination and need a timeline to complete these reforms (will they get it soon?),

I believe when we see the accountability and justice law we will see these corrupt government officials be prosecuted at all levels and at warp speed. These trials should not take long since in most cases the evidence is overwhelming. I also believe this will lead to less disruption in getting the remainder of the needed reforms completed and thus a window for an RV.

It is all going to come to a beautiful conclusion all of a sudden and shortly.

“Extreme Pressure to Complete the Needed Reforms” by Mnt Goat - Monday Update Post - Part 2 of 2
10/12/2015


Next I bring you another very interesting article on how bold Abadi is now to the public and how he must expose the truth as what is holding back the economy.

In a presentation made on Saturday he talked about internal and external pressures that are keeping the current economic situation of Iraq in this crisis and pointed out that those actors (people) perpetrating these pressures and found in the state ministries. He stressed that his committee will host these state officials (hidden hands) to learn their steps followed in the light of proposals submitted to them for reforms and why they do not support the reforms.

Again I ask you this - Are these reforms laws important to see any RV?
I quote from the article below – “that the advancement of the economic reality of the country need laws that began earlier implementation has not yet implemented," noting that "the customs tariff and the protection of the national product, consumer protection and the prevention of dumping laws have not been implemented in spite of the need pressing them to solve a lot of economic problems that plagued Iraq "

These are the words of Abadi not mine. No hype, No rumors, just the FACTS.

HIDDEN HANDS TO SUPPORT EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL ACTORS PUSHING TO KEEP IRAQ'S ECONOMY UNCHANGED!

Since 10/10/2015 15:08 pm (Baghdad time)

The next article is also very interesting. It is about Iyad Allawi and his willingness now to tell all about the 76 missing armored vehicles. If you have been following the news for year you may remember the deal Iraq made to purchase these 76 armored vehicles. Well according to this article they were never delivered to the GOI but were paid in full out of government funds and show in file invoices as received by the Defense ministry. So where did these vehicles go? My personal feeling is that either the Iranian Qud militia forces or ISIS have them.

So this article is telling us many things 1) the corruption continues since more wasted money during the Maliki administration, 2) the Integrity committee needs Allawi’s help in this matter and is investigating the past defense ministry and 3) that Allawi is now ready to talk. But why now? Why did he not want to talk prior? This is yet another example of how the GOI is ratcheting up the smear campaign against Maliki. The fear factor to publicly do so is now gone.

ALLAWI IS READY TO COOPERATE WITH THE PARLIAMENT ON THE FATE OF ARMOR GULF

Friday 09-10-2015 | 4:02:06

Next is an article that needs lots of explaining. First of all Barzani did not steal any employees’ salaries. Instead it is a translation issue meaning that the employees did not get paid, as, if you remember, in my last news letter I gave you an article from Kurdistan news as they were telling the people they could not afford to pay their salaries. So the people are asking now to Barzani where is the HCL money (17%) you are getting from Baghdad? Where is the money going, implying he is stealing it.

With all the other corruption being recently exposed from the past Maliki administration the people are now on a “Witch Hunt” to find yet more corruption in the current government.

So is the GOI now paying the 17% to the Kurdistan region or is this being delayed again? Is this at the root of the problem?

I quote from the article – “The hostel teachers, hospital workers and other staff in the public sector to the streets and went on strike a week ago, demanding their salaries from the Government of the Kurdistan region, which was delayed three months paid” The pressure is building and something has to be done.

I also gave you a recent article in my past news letter concerning how Kurdistan needs the recent HC agreement passed and implemented or else they are going to approve it outside of parliament. They are giving parliament a chance to work with it as a courtesy but are prepared to bypass them if needed. So you see the urgency? They are being stubborn too since they really need to settle this dispute over how Kurdistan will handle any oil sales outside of the normal quota given to them for pumping, as in the budget to meet the funding needs of the budget. This is the major change they are looking for. They do not want to be accused of stealing oil revenues again by the GOI.

So in summary are they themselves creating this pressure with the citizens by intentionally not paying the Kurdistani salaries using the nonpayment of oil share to Kurds (17%) blaming the GOI just to created tensions and force the passing of the HCL in a timely manner?

So we also see in this article a confirmation that the economic crisis did begin in 2014 and not in 2010 as an article told us in an earlier news letter I presented to you. Remember we were disputing the date in that article. In that article is said the project to delete the zeros was delayed in 2010 due to economic crisis. Really?

This simply is NOT true and I just proved it. We know for fact that in 2012 Dr Shabibi was going to RV the currency. So why would he attempt do this during an economic crisis? This all makes good for the argument that now in 2015, when they are in fact in an economic crisis, is now justification to hold back the RV.

I quote from the article below- “The economic crisis began in early 2014 when it reduced the Baghdad government money payments to the Kurdistan region and exacerbated by the conflict with al Daash and falling oil prices that pushed the region to the brink of bankruptcy”.

The economic crisis began in early 2014 when it reduced the Baghdad government money payments to the Kurdistan region and exacerbated by the conflict with al Daash and falling oil prices that pushed the region to the brink of bankruptcy.
