This is when you need to raise the value of your currency so you can introduce the lower notes…It’s not a crisis…It’s a continuation process of the monetary reform that has put you in a position to raise your currency value so you can introduce liquidity…This is all great news.

2-2-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Let’s get into the ‘Kuwait Syndrome’ aspect of this. Can they tell you before the rate changes that they’re going to flat out pull the OACT sanctions…? Those are the last, final, remaining sanctions on Iraq…Hell no they’re not going to do that…Here’s what they’re doing. They’re reviewing Iraq right now to make sure they’re worthy of lifting the last final remaining OFAC/UNTreasury sanctions so they can increase the currency value and go international. But what they’re portraying in the news is instability and insecurity. They can’t give you clues the rate is about to go up in value. This is the Kuwait Syndrome…When you follow the facts through the means of their actions you can gauge this so much better and accurately… Read more…

2-1-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff They’re past their constitutional period right now, the 30-day mark, of voting on and completing the step of the president, which is step two out of four within their government formation. Their constitutional period reached its deadline as of Wednesday the 28th. They’re now past that…When the formation of the government started, I told you Maliki is not going to get this. It will be Sudani…They stated [Maliki] is the top pick but Trump’s got some big cojones and came forward saying, ‘Hey, Iraq, you put Maliki in and we’re done helping you 100%.’ …Trump put a roadblock right in front of them…and it’s in limbo.

1-30-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man the parallel market is an illegal market. It takes advantage of citizens. They’ve been working on this for many years…The past two days Iraqi markets have witnessed fluctuations in the exchange rate…The smugglers, manipulators, the bad actors are trying to get around the system hence they have to pay more dinar for dollars and that’s the parallel market.

1-27-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff One thing that is so easy to do is bring your emotions into this, let your emotions guide you and take charge. That’s the one thing you cannot do. You cannot have you emotions guiding you in this. Got to keep those out…If you see Maliki voted in…don’t let your emotions guide you and get you mad and upset in this. Because…at the end of the day do we care who’s voted in? …I don’t personally care who’s voted in…With the new checks and balances coming forward, I don’t care how corrupt you are, they’ll shut you down fast… Read more…

1-21-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I have heard from my CBI contact on a call to Iraq last Saturday that the last stage of testing is almost completed on the software for the digital dinar. So, when it is ready and the GOI has completed its tasks, we can expect to see the collection of the three zero notes and the issuance of the new lower denominations. I asked for a timing of this event and she said to follow the election cycle. So, I now believe there are two events linked to kickoff of removing the zeros and that is the digital dinar and the election cycle. Read more…

1-20-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 We are close to 90% in retrieving of the 3 zero notes. Once they change the exchange rate the rest of the notes will pour in like a waterfall because nobody wants to keep those 3 zero notes. Instead they will want to clone the new lower notes that will have value…I believe they told us that you have anywhere from 6 months to a year to trade in the remaining zeros. I think we’re going to have a lot more time than that. Read more…
