Thurs. Mnt Goat Post - "Plan to Launch Lower Denoms-Hurray!"  Part 2 of 2

So I mentioned this upcoming bond drive to in previous article. Now they are telling when they plan to do it again. Can they do this without a currency value? Can they get the kind of credit rating they need to make these bonds profitable prior to this timeframe?

Maybe now with the backing of the WTO they can pull it off and payout less on these bonds?

Just some questions we need to think about. But the timeline is significant.

Update: Amnesty Law 
We are also hearing there are issues with the Amnesty law and these issues may take time to resolve. This law we know is part of the mix too in beginning this “delete the zeros” project. As the USA and UN will not allow the RV without Amnesty (Amnesty bill with certain conditions in it). These conditions are what Allawi has spoken up against in recent new media yesterday. So yes- they can not go forward with deleting the zeros project without Amnesty bill being passed and appropriate/needed conditions within it. 

As usual nothing happens on time in Iraq. We will patiently see if this all works out prior to end of Nov.

The recent news as I complete this news letter today is that these issues are all settled. However, we wait and see. I do know it is very urgent to get  his law passed since if stalled it could mess up the RV process by holding it back.

Update: Oil & Gas Law
Remember I told you about these changes required in the oil and gas law that are needed by Kuristan. They want to have the “official” approval through parliament to sell as much oil and they want, as long as they also meet the Baghdad currency year budget quotas. The contention with the changes are that many politicians want to leave the oil in the ground and limit pumping only to the budget quotas.

[Update: 2016 Budget]

Earlier this week parliament had the second reading of the 2016 budget law. They are telling us the want to complete the budget and pass it by the end of Nov. They seemed to be on track to do this by end of Now, then yesterday out pops negativity about how the 2015 budget was handled.   

I quote from the article- “large frustration with the Representatives and the lack of enthusiasm to approve next year's budget because of the government's commitment to the implementation of the last budget items”.

Seems once again the govt is not living up to its promises and so support going forward is lessened. My take on this negativity is that there was not enough funding to complete all the projects in 2015 and so some have been delayed. Like in every government there are always the complainers but these politicians are good too since they create a sense of check and balance on the govt. My feelings are this may have little impact in getting support for the 2016 budget once explained and outlines by the govt.

I want also to remind everyone that thinks there is a ton of money remaining in the CBI rolled over from all those previous budgets (money not spent) due to Maliki and his corruption. Let me address this now since I am getting really sick and tired of hearing about this.

All I can say to these thinkers is this. THE REASON WHY THE PROJECTS WERE NOT COMPLETED IS BECAUSE THE MONEY WAS STOLEN by falsified contracts in the Ministry of the Interior etc…

So how can the funding still exist? Where does the nearly 1 trillion dollars that Maliki and his goons are accused of stealing come from?  It comes from an accumulation of years of corruption and pillaging of these prior year’s budget allocations. Remember the budget is allocated, the ministries send in contracts to transfer money to the banks for the projects. The banks release the funds based on documents. The documents were forged and counterfeited in many cases.

At the time the GOI assumed the money was being spent appropriately if audited however time proved otherwise. Anyone who knew about the corruption and tried to expose it winded up dead. So it went on and on until Iraq is  where they are today…missing money, gone!

So please STOP telling everyone Iraq is not really in a financial mess.

US STRIKE DESTROYS 100 ISIS FUEL TANKERS

November 18, 2015 in Iraq Oil & Gas News

By Simon Kent.
A wave of US aircraft, including A-10 bombers which can fire thousands of exploding canon shells per minute, have destroyed 116 ISIS fuel tankers near the Iraqi border in Syria.

The operation at Albu Kamal (the Iraqi side of the border is Al Qaim), code named Tidal Wave II, targeted a gathering of tankers moving crude oil in a move avoided by the US so far.

To date, the US has been concerned that many of the tanker drivers are Syrian civilians desparate to earn a living, but this time the risk to life was minimised as the US planes dropped warning leaflets ahead of the strikes.

Further US operations now focus on not only destroying ISIS oil infrastructure, but ensuring that spare parts are destroyed as ISIS attempt to repair oil installations.

The strikes are expected to deny the group a significant portion of its income, as Syrians desperate for fuel buy it from ISIS, while unscrupulous traders have also been purchasing it in areas next to ISIS controlled territory.
