2-4-2026 Newshound Guru Samson Article: “IRAQ ACHIEVES SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN 48 AGRICULTURAL CROPS AND EXPORTS THE SURPLUS”
2-4-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram As I was traveling [To Northern Africa] I thought to myself, what if Iraq charges its [Development Road Project] clients in US dollars? And my heart dropped…Can they do that? Will they do that? I don’t know. I’ve got to…find out if that’s even feasible. They sell oil in US dollars, why would they not possibly at least research the idea of selling the transportation hub services in US dollars…? It doesn’t do anything for their currency the Iraqi dinar but the Iraqi dinar would need to come up. It would need to move over at least two decimal points…We need the IQD to move over several decimal points in order to realize some sort of profit.
2-4-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Bloomberg: Washington threatens to withhold Iraqi oil revenues because of Maliki US officials met with the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq in Türkiye last week” Quote: “Sources told Bloomberg that Washington informed Iraqi officials in recent days that it might reduce Iraq’s access to oil export revenues if Nouri al-Maliki is appointed prime minister, given the US view of him as being close to Iran…the United States issued a new warning during a meeting held last week in Türkiye between the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, and senior American officials.”
2-4-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu Article: “The CBI has officially reduced the currency count in Iraq by 5% in an effort to curb inflation and increase the value of the remaining currency” More than likely, this is how and why the PM has reportedly stated that the value of the currency, currently at 1320, will not remain…All roads DO NOT lead to the RV…There are many ways to add value / purchasing power to the Dinar besides a hard RV. It’s a good idea to keep that in mind while you ride the roll-a-coaster.

2-4-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Aside for the political noise they’re still doing what they’re doing…follow the money. Follow the largest financial institutions in the world. That’s where you should be…
2-4-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY:
The Central Bank of Iraq is rolling out new guidelines aimed at stabilizing the dinar exchange rate. They’re tightening up the rules around the currency auctions and putting some additional checks to ensure the official exchange rate and the street rate stay close together. They’re trying to keep things a little bit more balanced and predictable on the currency front. FRANK: Yeah, you have to do that just before you change the rate. You need a stable platform in order to introduce a new rate.
2-4-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Maliki’s name appears 120 times in Epstein’s files… What’s the story?” Quote: “According to what Al-Sa’a Network has observed, the mention of Maliki in these files is not related to any direct connection to the Epstein criminal case, but rather comes within a broader political and analytical context…The answer provided by these materials does not point to any direct connection with Epstein, but rather places al-Maliki at the heart of what the documents describe as ‘Iraq’s moment of collapse’…One of the most frequently repeated points within the Epstein files relates to what the texts describe as the Iranian engineering of Maliki’s continued hold on power… According to the documents, Qassem Soleimani was the main driver of the political deal that kept Maliki as prime minister…“
2-4-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Iraq still waits for a breakthrough in the election cycle. Meanwhile the Central Bank is still moving ahead with its banking reforms…we know that the Central Bank is ready to move ahead with the currency reform project and make tangible evidence to us. They are ready right now! Yes, the Project to Delete the Zeros still sits in the wings waiting the election to show positive results. Certainly, if Iraq insists on Nori al-Maliki…this process may take some more time. If he backs down and al-Sudani is nominated we could see the rest of the process fly ahead very quickly.
2-4-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] In Iraq: “48 Hours to decide Presidential Election” There is a mad scramble going on inside Iraq. I was told leaders are desperate to talk with the US and avoid sanctions. What I am being told is they feel like they are in between a rock and a hard place. They feel like with Makiki…if they don’t go with him they are bowing to the US…but If they do go with him…they are bowing to Iran.
