1-19-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 What is the #1 law for the citizens that is going to be passed right away? The #1 law is the HCL and that requires a new rate. But we learned the HCL can be passed without the rate…[but] if anyone is silly enough to believe they’re going to do it at 1300 I got some land to sell you on the moon…The moment you see the HCL, within nanoseconds, you will see the new exchange rate.
1-19-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram A conflict between Iran and the United States is brewing. It is reported there has been over 16,000 protesters killed in Iran…A lot of Iranians are using smaller border crossings in northern Iraq to enter into Iraq. Lots and lots of Iranians have already crossed the border…This is not good for Iraq or Iraqi investors.
1-19-2026 Newshound Guru Clare “President Trump doesn’t want any Iraqi officials lying to him. We have a clear example: when Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani visited Washington, he spoke about finding a solution to the issue of the factions, about state sovereignty, and about monopolizing weapons. But upon his return to Baghdad, he said that the factions have a right to exist in Iraq. This duplicity is unacceptable…Savaya’s briefcase …contains one essential document, titled: ‘Do you want a strong and influential Iraq within the region? Then you must disarm the militias.’ …If the Iraqis don’t want to change their reality, Trump will ask Savaya to leave Iraq and will clearly state: “These are countries that don’t want any solution to improve their situation.” [Post 2 of 2]
1-19-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Tom Harb, President of the American Middle East Coalition for Democracy, interview “What is the significance of choosing Mark Savaya as President Trump’s special envoy to Iraq? …The appointment of Mark Savaya is a positive step that Iraq should capitalize on.
The selection of a special envoy simply means that President Trump is personally interested in direct engagement with Iraq and its development and growth. Savaya’s arrival in Baghdad will signify the White House’s willingness to push Iraq toward significant reforms. However, this is contingent on him finding a genuine partner within the government, one who doesn’t merely make statements for the cameras and then return to Baghdad contradicting the commitments made in Washington.” [Post 1 of 2]
1-19-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff The news is phenomenal. Looks amazing. The next critical thing we’re looking for is when they’re going to have and hold a session of parliament to tackle and vote on the president. They haven’t given us that date yet but they’re in close proximity to doing that…When they get to the point of a prime minister, this can go very fast…They could announce the prime minister the same day they announce the president.
1-19-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Digitalization is going to be important. It will help to collect the three zero notes because physically it is going to be a nightmare but electronically it’ll be done very quickly, very easily, very clean… There are so many things already in place to bring in the three zero notes. IMO digitization will simply be the cherry on top of all the other mechanisms to make sure that hyperinflation does not destroy the monetary reform…
1-19-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Article: “The governor of the Central Bank of Iraq meets discusses with Oliver Wyman Company and ways to improve Iraq’s sovereignty and credit rating” They want to lift the value of their currency and get a better credit rating. This article is telling us they are getting ready for that change.
1-19-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] Redemption centers are going to be the way to go. Why? Because the rates are going to be higher. The only way you’re going to get a contract rate on the dinar is at the redemption center, and it’s extremely high. We believe, by what we’ve seen so far, that the Dong rate is higher at the redemption center, at least initially.
