Pakistan has made enormous efforts in improving its CTF regime

.
Theatrics.

USA decided to retain Pakistan in FATF grey list and allowed those 3 countries to support the motion (behind-the-scenes stuff).

The very day USA decide to remove Pakistan from FATF grey list, Pakistan would be out from the list in an instant - no need for voting game.

China presides over this organization, not US anymore.

Xiangmin Liu of the People's Republic of China assumed the position of President of the FATF on 1 July 2019. He succeeded Marshall Billingslea of the United States

Friend,

Organizations such as FATF and IMF have multiple members and contributors but they have a clear plan and roadmap for addressing any INTERNATIONAL CASE. Decision to retain Pakistan in FATF Grey List was already made in advance - much before this meeting and official announcement. There were already hints about this decision - I noticed these several days earlier.

There is Afghanistan angle in this matter as well.

It is clear as a stone that until USA is willing to let Pakistan out from this list, this won't happen. There is a clear understanding on this issue between FATF members behind-the-scenes. Voting process is absolutely manipulated.

I don't think US can dictate terms in this organisation, at least China has a track record of casting every vote she can get her hands on against US.

Understand how Pakistan ended in Grey List:
Pakistan had three backers in FATF. China, GCC and Turkey. They vetoed every time. The pushers were UK and France. Then US decided to pull the strings. They offered KSA an independent vote(KSA and other GCC had a collective vote) if they refrained from voting in favour of Pakistan. Now we had only two votes. Not even Malaysia came forward. And Pakistan was placed in Grey list. Now to come off we need 15 votes. And to prevent going into Black list we need at least 3 votes. Now most of the members who vote in FATF are western countries and allies of US. So if US want to put us into Black list or get us out they can dictate it. Because only US has that kind of pull.

Iran Enters FATF Blacklist

06-_fatf.png


Financial Action Task Force, the global anti-money laundering watchdog on Friday put Iran on its blacklist after Tehran failed to comply with international anti-terrorism funding norms.

This came after Iran failed to meet the deadline set the by the watchdog at FATF’s last meeting in October to fully comply with FATF standards. FATF had then given Iran a final deadline to comply with international norms after which “it would urge all its members to apply countermeasures”.

“The FATF fully lifts the suspension of counter-measures and calls on its members and urges all jurisdictions to apply effective counter-measures,” the watchdog said in a statement published on its website Friday.

Reacting to the global watchdog decision, Abdolnasser Hemmati, the Central Bank of Iran’s Governor, discounted the FATF move, saying “it won’t pose any obstacle to Iran’s foreign trade and stability in currency rates”.

According to FATF, Iran will remain on the FATF statement on [High Risk Jurisdictions Subject to a Call for Action] until the full Action Plan has been completed. If Iran ratifies the Palermo and Terrorist Financing Conventions, in line with the FATF standards, the FATF will decide on the next steps, including whether to suspend countermeasures.

“Until Iran implements the measures required to address the deficiencies identified with respect to countering terrorism-financing in the Action Plan, the FATF will remain concerned with the terrorist financing risk emanating from Iran and the threat this poses to the international financial system”.

The FATF said in the statement that it has recognized the progress of Iran’s legislative efforts to implement anti-money laundering and countering financing terrorism polices.

Progress in 2016

In June 2016, the FATF welcomed Iran’s high-level political commitment to address its strategic AML/CFT deficiencies, and its decision to seek technical assistance in the implementation of the Action Plan.

Since 2016, Iran established a cash declaration regime, enacted amendments to its Counter-Terrorist Financing Act and its Anti-Money Laundering Act, and adopted an AML by-law.

In February 2020, the FATF noted that there are still items not completed and Iran should fully address, including “ratifying and implementing the Palermo and TF Conventions and clarifying the capability to provide mutual legal assistance”, “ensuring an adequate and enforceable customer due diligence regime”, ”demonstrating how authorities are identifying and sanctioning unlicensed money/value transfer service providers” and “ensuring that financial institutions verify that wire transfers contain complete originator and beneficiary information”.

The watchdog has allowed member countries to apply appropriate countermeasures when called upon to do so by the FATF. “Countries should also be able to apply countermeasures independently of any call by the FATF to do so. Such countermeasures should be effective and proportionate to the risks”.

And to prevent going into Black list we need at least 3 votes.
China, Malaysia and Turkey, 3 votes, which one do you think can be swayed by US.

This is a Christian/Jews vs Muslim blockade

  • Similar trade block was imposed on Ottoman Era part of history it was not at small transaction level but at Sea export , the blockade caused wars at sea and transit routes
  • This organization (FATF) is invented based on lessons learned vs Ottoman Empire to deprive Muslim countries chance to advance
  • They need data on Muslim Businessman inside Pakistan so they can impose sanction on people when they like
  • They are already checking Muslim people's passport when they apply for jobs in Americas, finger print even eye scans
:coffee:
These sanctions won't pass in UN because many nations would object so they invented this body with less countries mostly Christians to impose sanction on Muslim countries


The group is created so their will always be a Christian Majority vs few Muslim countries


The objection to Iran-Pakistan gas line is one such example, while in their own nation they are building oil pipeline over graveyards of Native Indigenous people

I heard that there was no voting this time in Pakistan case. Not sure thought. In June we are more than likely to be removed from the grey list as well.

Not really. Our closest ally and biggest beneficiary doesn't even believe in God let alone is a Muslim nation. Most of the Muslim nations don't even back Pakistan but support the West, Israel, india etc. Religion doesn't come in to this.
 
. . .
The Economic blockade of Ottoman Empire for 100-200 years caused it to break down over time)

French were plundering , Africa , Spanish was plundering South America and British were in Far east and beating up people in North America

The Christian / Jews will impose sanction on each Muslim nation turn by turn weakening each nation, blackmailing them using this organization

Sudan (Likely)
Syria (Likely)
Iran (Likely)
Libya (Likely)
SAUDIA (Paying 300 billion in ransom pay to USA to stay on good side as weapon/training )
Pakistan (Under consideration)
Turkey (When time comes , already heard Trump's warnings)
Malaysia (Already being blackmailed with Palm export ban punishment for OIC leadership)
Eygypt (Has a lollipop for now)

None Muslim countries to be targetted
Russia
China

At somepoint it will happen

The mighty Saudi Armco shares will tumble one night and Saudis will wake up seeing their once big oil giant shares for cost of pennies at which point it will get purchased from folks from overseas and then suddenly the shares will sky rocket ;) Then folks will arrive in Saudia to demand access their oil fields
