6-19-2026 Guest Guru Terrence [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator] Vietnam is trying to export products…It’s in their interest to keep the currency low. Whereas in Iraq, all the signals are pointing suggesting they’ve got to raise the rate significantly…If you look at countries like Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, these countries are not anywhere close to being as rich as Iraq are. Why are their currencies worth so much more than a dollar? It doesn’t make sense.
6-19-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Article: “Alaq was relieved of his position as governor of the Central Bank and Nizar Nasser was appointed in his place” We all knew that it is possible because it’s the right of the prime minister to be able to get a new central bank governor…This [new] man seems to fit the bill. His background is quite nice…It may even be more advantageous for us because it might be more of a seamless cleaner government in the sense, the man has who he wants in place…I like what we see…Prime Minister Zaidi is all about economics and so it the new CBI governor.
6-19-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram Security issues…we see in Iraq. It’s very difficult for foreign currency to come in. People are not going to invest when they see very clearly they could get kicked out of the country, shot or whatever else while they’re in the country. So the US is laying down requirements that must be adhered to within a time frame…The US… delivered a clear warning to Iraq that major sanctions could or would be imposed if Iraq does not implement a series of political, economic and security reforms…The warning followed a high-level meeting in Baghdad between US envoy Tom Barrack and Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Zaidi…
6-19-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Iraq handed its central bank to a man who spent his career chasing dirty money. Its anti-fraud chief now sits on top of the vault. The same day, the US Treasury published a list of bank channels running through Iraq and sanctioned the people moving cash through them, one government scrubbing its own books, the other naming the people who
dirtied them…You do not hand the keys to the money to a fraud investigator unless the next job on the list is counting that money in the open…
6-19-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: On the television they announced to us the United States of America is going to resume physical dollar cash flows into Iraq. FRANK: We stopped it because they were funneling money into Iraq. They can’t anymore…And on this day they tell you no Alaq? …Maliki and Alaq had ties with Iran and neither one of them are around anymore…The constipation is gone for the monetary reform.
6-19-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Did any of us know today that the central bank governor was going to get replaced? Hell no, we didn’t. I’ve been saying for quite a while the news is all scripted. They know exactly what they’re going to do, when they’re going to do it and it will catch all of us by surprise. The rate change won’t catch me by surprise. It might catch you by surprise, not I. I now exactly what I’m looking for to know when the rate’s going to change…The very critical piece we need to see to identify that date will be the completion of the cabinet. Once they complete the cabinet, it’s game over. Rate will change
very quick…
6-19-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Al-Zaydi begins removing officials after Barrak’s visit… Al-Alaq is out of the Central Bank, according to the framework – Urgent” Quote: “Coordination Framework rushed to report the dismissal of the head of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali al-Alaq, and his replacement by Nizar Nasser, who was the head of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Office of the Central Bank. This comes after nearly two days of long and complex discussions held by the Iraqi Prime Minister with Trump’s envoy in Baghdad, Tom Barrack.”
6-19-26 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [Guru] Texas Snake posted…you will be hitting the redemptions on the 21st through the 23rd. Fingers crossed. MarkZ: He’s not the only person we are hearing that from now…stay grounded.
6-19-2026 Guest Guru Ariel “BREAKING: Iraq has approved Starlink’s operating license, clearing the way for its satellite internet service to enter the country. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Iraq Tom Barrack welcomed the approval of Starlink’s operating license.” Iraq’s currency shift isn’t a lottery ticket. It’s a structural realignment. The Central Bank has been pushing full government cashless operations by early July… Starlink provides the connectivity layer that turns those policy papers into operational reality…This directly supports the digital leap…moving trillions through electronic systems…building the infrastructure for any redenomination or rate adjustment.
6-19-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat …if Al-Zaidi can get to the 45% non-oil revenues we may very well be on our way to FOREX, according to my CBI contact.
