THE HONEY POT

October 6, 2006

In a couple of earlier articles, we’ve examined the relationship between first – plunging natural gas prices and the “astounding ramp-up” of notional in J. P. Morgan’s derivative book in Q1:06. Then we took a look at the re-jigging of Goldman Sachs Commodity Index [GSCI] and its deleterious effects on the price of gasoline – just in time to bolster crumbling Republican popularity ratings prior to the crucial mid – term elections.

This essay serves to complete the energy tri-fecta with a little contrarian’s look-see into some of the possible reasons as to what or who might be influencing the manic swings we’ve been experiencing in crude oil prices.

Background: All Roads Lead To Baghdad

As early as June of 2003, we know that certain American banking institutions were eying and sizing up potential new business in Iraq,

“Three of the top US banks, including J.P. Morgan, Citigroup and Bank of America, have set their eyes on the lucrative banking business in Iraq, according to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal. These banks and several others have conferred with Treasury Department officials in recent weeks. They are said to be interested in helping the Iraqis build a modern retail banking system as well as with trade finance, payments systems and foreign currency exchange…..” [RK bold emphasis]

Amazing isn’t it, how some helpful folks set up an English language web site so they could keep all of us in the Western World apprised of the ‘late breaking news items’ deemed important for us to get snippets of? Also, ever stop to wonder what the poor Iraqis would have done without the “help” of the likes of good ole J.P. Morgan Chase? Just think – a nice shiny, new retail banking system – yummy!!! And what’s this about TRADE FINANCE, PAYMENTS SYSTEMS AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE? What could a war torn, debilitated bombed out infrastructure that is and was Iraq possibly have that would be of interest to good ole J.P.M? I mean, exactly what does Iraq have that the rest of the world wants or needs besides oil?

Hi Everyone,

I am sure this has been posted because all of the great members on this forum but I will post it on the off chance that it has not been posted sorry in advance if it has been posted. I think this is a great article for a couple of reasons. I think Kuwait maybe willing to write more of the debt off. Also Iraq states they will IMPLEMENT ALL THEIR LAWS AND GO AHEAD WITH THEIR PLANS WITH OR WITHOUT INTERNATIONAL DEBT RELIEF!!!!!!

Dr. Barham Salih, Deputy Prime Minister and Head of the Iraqi delegation to the International Conference in Kuwait, along with Dr. Muwaffaq Rubaie, the National Security Adviser and the accompanying delegation met with the President of the Kuwaiti National Assembly Jassem Mohammad Al-Khorafi and discussed bilateral and parliamentary relations as well as ways of developing them and unify stances in international assemblies.

He stressed the necessity of eliminating the effects of past and enhance the cooperation between the two brotherly nations. They also thanked the Kuwaiti people and government for their support to Iraq in difficult circumstances. Dr. Muwaffaq Rubaie also met with the Prince of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Ahmed Sabah, and discussed the issue of Kuwaiti debt on Iraq, reconstruction and cooperation between the two countries in all fields.

Dr. Barham Salih said that the security situation in Iraq will witness some improvement if Syria cooperate with the Iraqi government to work on controlling the border and prevent the infiltration of terrorists.

Saleh said in a joint press conference with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ashraf Qazi, after the preparatory meeting of the International Covenant with Iraq, which was concluded in Kuwait yesterday: that Syria need to work harder, with greater credibility and must be aware of the gravity of the situation in Iraq, and make serious changes to deal with the political and security conditions in Iraq. The National Security Advisor Dr. Muwaffaq Rubaie revealed in another a press conference held on the sidelines of the same preparatory meeting that a senior official from one of the neighboring countries, will visit Iraq during the next few days to find a political solution for the benefit of Iraq on the security level, without mentioning the name of the official or the state. But unofficial sources in Kuwait reported that the official, who intended to visit Baghdad in this regard, is the Syrian Foreign Minister Waleed Al-Mu'allim.

About the question of, "Assabah" on the timetable of the political and economic reforms that have been agreed to take place in the meeting, and whether Iraq possesses the suitable environment for conducting such reforms, the Deputy Prime Minister said that the commitments made by Iraq to the international community of political and economic reforms over the next four years, stem from knowing the requirements of achieving stability in the country, and based on the initiative of the Prime Minister in the national reconciliation and the government's program of action in the coming stage, as well as other economic agreements signed as part of the debt write-off of the Paris Club. He pointed out that Iraq will implement these reforms, which are in the interest of the Iraqi people, according to the vision of the elected government that represents it, with or without the international support. At the same time, he hoped for the international community's serious stand with Iraq to cross it to shore safely.

He pointed out that there are many of the accounts are cleared at the expense of the Iraqi people and the Iraqi leadership is well aware of the gravity of the situation, which can not continue. Everybody must understand that the instability in Iraq will reflect negatively on the whole region, and those who want to manipulate the security of Iraq should reap the consequences. He called on the neighboring countries to assume their responsibilities in this regard and cooperate against terrorism, which threatens the region.

He pointed out that the problem of financial and administrative corruption, is the most important obstacle to the work of the Iraqi government and instigates the security situation in Iraq. He confirmed that among the articles of the Covenant submitted by Iraq to the international community, is to deal with this problem that can not be ignored, uprooting corruption and collaborating with partners in order to achieve all of the aforementioned reforms.

New offers were received during the preparatory meeting of the Covenant and new financial commitments in support of Iraq by the United States, the European Union and Saudi Arabia, which pledged $ 1 billion provided to Iraq in the form of grants, aid and loans, as well as (500) million dollars provided for the private sector in Iraq. He stressed that Iraq would be able to obtain clear commitments from the international community after launching the International Covenant in providing economic support, grants, facilitated loans, debt write-off and canceling penalties from the previous decades, in addition to providing technical assistance and encourage the Iraqi private sector. On his part, Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ashraf Qazi, expected a broader regional and international participation in the International Covenant with Iraq to be held late this year. He pointed out that the entire world is interested in the stability of the situation in Iraq. Al-Rubaie said, in a speech delivered at the preparatory meeting of the Conference that the conditions are very difficult and, the Iraqi government is still seeking to achieve this goal in addition to national reconciliation. Economic reform as well as international and regional support for Iraq's efforts represents an important element in enhancing the security situation and restore stability in the country.

He pointed out that the Iraqi government has launched the plan of national reconciliation in order to expand the participation of the parties involved in the initiative, regardless of their ideology and policy.

Lets look at this.
1. We were pretty certian the R/V would be today (Sunday).Why? We know that from all of the info gathered up by SGS, Adster and CP and some I might have forgot. The 10,000.00 dinar checks are two weeks late getting passed out, No body believes that they will be passed out without the R/V attached to them. We knew that they were going to be passed out today.

2. We figured they would run it (R/V) in conjunction with the sentencing of Saddam Hussian as that would really help calm things down.

3. With what my friend told me about the neighbors son in Iraq ( I personnally believe the story) and they would not sell Dinar to him anymore because of change in price in a couple days. This was on Thursday a couple days would make it Sunday, In conjunction with the 10,000.00 dinar being passed out. That makes me go Hmmmmmmmmm.

4. Plus RRs info from Indura's family as well, of a couple days. Sorry RR

5 Evidently the curfew is also for tomorrow??????????? I believe so. So when the banks open back up on tuesday, I think that the !0,000.00 Dinar will be passed out then with a R/V.

I think it was all set up to go down today (Sunday) and because of the Iraq government throwing a monkey wrench into the mix it got put off for two days. We know that things do get screwed up over there for reasons that sometimes don't make sense to us but make a world of sense to them.
This is of coarse jmo.
