The source , who preferred not to be named , said the Iraqi dinar will see over the next few days , a significant rise in price against the US dollar.

murd11, the 500 Dinar note that we have doesn't have the Kurdish language on it, this one does. The big difference it will make is the exchange rate when it RV's....The 500 Dinar note will be the highest denomination note in public use I think, so the average Iraqi won't have to carry around so many bills. I will try to find the article that states what notes will be in circulation.....

Your spot on...see article below. 22 Nov 2016 Mike... Article: “Iraq new 500-dinar note (B357) confirmed” Good stuff, so, from all appearance’s, they not only need this note now, they’re going to need it in the foreseeable future. As the value slowly rises the note will go from a value of .50 to a buck and hopefully all the way to $500 when the value reaches 1-1. During that time, the newer notes like the 1, 5, 10, 20 and 100 will come out. I’m looking forward to Iraq starting the process in 2017 so that in time, they can get to the lower denominated notes.

I Hope We All Wind Up Filthy Rich ...

Because the current value of a 500 note is very small. So why print them ? I as well as others believe this is a run up to an RV by putting out a smaller bill. I suspect further small denoms are to follow. pp

Luigi And Frank Are Drinking Shots Out Of The Fat Lady's Belly And Are Calling Them Fuzzy Navels !

DinarThug Thanks, DV.....Why did the CBI release the new 500 note now without notice? Hmmmm.....Let's hope the LD'S will come out in the very near term as well. Folks, I do believe a lot of surprises are coming our way in the weeks ahead IMHO so sit tight and enjoy this final ride to paradise.....😊😊😆😆 Keeping the faith!! GO RV!!

And everyone one is invited

That statement can be applied to just about every Gov't in the world DoD. I agree with you 100% pp

The Kurdistan government has to do exactly the same thing as the GOI, they have to get rid of some of the corruption before they can move forward. There is as much currpution there from the top down as was in the previous GOI, the stalled HCL proves that point...

7 Memorable Quotes From Gen. James 'Mad Dog' Mattis Retired Marine Corps Gen. James “Mad Dog” Mattis is a top contender for secretary of defense in President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet.

If he didn’t like an assignment he was given, his attitude was to always do the best that he could. "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."

"It’s all the more important today that we hold to our precious legacy of ferocious, ethical combat performance. For in a world awash in change, Americans need to have confidence in the everlasting character of our Marines.” "Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people.” According to CNN, Mattis said he “should have chosen his words more carefully” after receiving counsel from the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Michael Hagee, for comments he made during a 2005 panel discussion about fighting the Taliban. "Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot.

Thanks Thug. Waiting for al the chips to fall in order.

Just curious, can you give some examples, other than your bank account, of the good times the Country has been rolling through these past 8 years?

These rioters remind of a time when I saw a mother handing a icecream to a small child and the child knocking the icecream to the ground and crying. A bunch of ingrates who have been coddled, apologized to and spoiled. Time for TOUGH LOVE. Time for discipline and respect.

All the precious little Snowflakes and SJWs...you know, the ones who are throwing their temper tantrums in the streets of our great cities. Indy

Enjoyed this read very much. Yes, our Lord should be and must be first and foremost in all our lives. I would also like to add that if we had more Dads in this world like Mike Pence in this reading, we would have a much stronger, moral world. My personal belief is the breakdown of the family is the breakdown of our relationship with the Lord and the reason for the falling apart world. I could get on a rant about some of the family structures that exist today but I will give you a break. 😀

Yeah scuba diving! Thanks for the post DV RV invite Wiljor. Thank you Mr. Thug great find.

very nice for getting notes out ! what would get gypsy really tingly and soaking ! the fils ------- > the coins would knock every ones shoes off I bet ....

"Mad Dog" - Perfect. Leaving the politics out of it, Trump is a business man and stated early on, "Hire the best and let them do their job". The history of James Mattis reminds me of General Patton and should be a taken seriously by those who seek to harm us. If not, he will deal with it swiftly/effectively and come home because his men/women come first as opposed to some political agenda. We cannot lie to ourselves as there are some bad people out there that mean us (and everyone) harm. The radicals may be currently brainwashed to fear nothing now but when they show up with a knife and he brings a cannon, the conversation will be short. Don't get me wrong, I do not condone war but if we are threatened, our country/families protection comes first. With that said, when there is only one option left send a warrior, not a politician. This in itself is the biggest deterrent to conflict.

Iraqi parties are racing against time to pass the draft law of the popular crowd in the Iraqi parliament before the end of the battle of Mosul against al Daesh in anticipation that the expel of Daesh from Nineveh province will lead to the absence of justification to proceed with the continuation of government spending on Shiite militias. Therefore this Council discussed last Wednesday , during its 25 session , the project of the Act of Popular Crowd , which provides for the consideration of the crowd as a formation that enjoys with legal personality and part of the armed forces and linked with the commander in chief of the armed forces, and stipulated the inclusion of members of formation with the law starting from June 13 2014. And the legal draft law adopted by the National Alliance (Shiite) gives fighters of the popular crowd privileges parallel to those received by the members of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, which are relatively high privileges compared to salaries for civil institutions. The draft law obligate the government of arming the popular crowd, and meet all its logistic requirements , and give it the authority to liberate the provinces under the control of Daesh , which means to legitimize its spread in the Sunni areas, and the consequent abuses and violations of a sectarian dimension against the local population. The draft law does not aim only to accommodate the fighters of the crowd in the army or Iraqi forces , but to recognize the militias as a military entity independent from the rest of the systems and the Iraqi government undertakes spending on it on condition that the crowd keeps independently with its management and agenda. The legal draft law of People crowd presented to the Iraqi parliament has raised wide argument and sharp disagreements between the Shiite National Alliance who insists on passing the law, and among other powers that have reservations and concerns about it . The political blocs in parliament have agreed to vote in 26 of the current month’s meeting on the draft law of People crowd , before the start of the legislative recess for the current season at the end of this month. And sharp differences have been escalated on some articles of the controversial draft law amid objections of Kurds and the Union of Iraqi forces on the grounds that it gives legal immunity for its affiliates amid accusations of committing abuses in the liberated areas, noting that the Iraqi government admitted to the occurrence of some of them. The map of the objectors of Representatives indicates to the Sunni rare unanimity to oppose the draft law. It is not true that the popular crowd, which was founded on June 13 2014, based on a fatwa of Shiite cleric Ali al-Sistani to face the organization Daesh that includes all Iraq’s communities and his own people as claimed by Hakim Al-Zmili , the chairman of the Security and Defense Committee in the Iraqi Council of Representatives noting that in a study prepared by the Rawabet Centre for Research and strategic Studies about the popular crowd and published in the August 28 of this year, which came under the title “popular Crowd in Iraq .. Origin and future “the survey study ” the study showed that the most elements of popular crowd are descended from the southern provinces of the Shiite character and consists of 76 armed factions that the religious marja of the most of them is the Iranian Murshed ( Supreme Leader) of revolution Ali Khamenei. And that 80% percent of its military effort is the responsibility of Saraya Al-Salam , the Badr Brigade, the Hezbollah Brigades of Iraq, and Asaib Ahl-Al-Haq ,they are also religious factions affiliated to Ali Khamenei, with the exception of one Christian faction , a “battalion of Babylon.” So the popular crowd is not as said by Hakim Al- Zamili that it represents all the people of Iraq , but represents one sectarian spectrum “Shiite” of the Iraqi society. And the legal draft law of Popular crowd if passed in the Iraqi parliament would raise concerns of different Iraqi spectrums because it legitimizes to the militias who have non-Iraqi agendas , as they relate to the Iranian regime, and planning to fight proxy wars for their interests , such as announcing the transition to Syria to fight alongside the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad after the completion of the battle of Mosul .As its leaders announce since now that the «crowd» is a necessity required by the threats facing Iraq and waving from now to the need to fight Daesh in Syria. Nouri al-Maliki was not satisfied, a political face on the top of the government pyramid, by shouting « we are coming ,Al-Riqa» as the capital of Daesh, but added saying « we are coming, Aleppo » . Iraqi Observers said that to give legal legitimacy to the sectarian militias will obligate the government to legitimize the other ethnic and sectarian components such as units of the Kurdish Peshmerga and the Sunni National crowd , otherwise it would announce its bias to a certain component without the other and lose its character as an Iraqi inclusive government. The continuation of the popular crowd in Iraq after Daesh may increase of Iraq’s internal and external crises , Internally we can talk here that the continuance of it would increase the burden on Iraq’s Finance especially the Iraqi state since years ago is suffering from a severe financial crisis due to the decline in global oil prices which reflected directly on the government sector because the Iraqi government has become unable to pay salaries to half of its staff, and there is no doubt that the government will double the deficit with the addition of more than 100 thousand element of the popular crowd at Iraq’s institutions. The Matter here is not confined only to the salaries of those elements, but also the need of the military supplies and financial allocations for media channels as well. This financial crisis has been accompanied by a security crisis in Iraq noting that these factions that make up the popular crowd despite its integration into the Iraqi state institutions, but it effectively will continue to receive orders from its organizational leadership and not government, Each one knows that those particular factions such as “Saraya Al-Salam , Hezbollah Brigades of Iraq and Asaib Ahl al-Haq, the Badr Brigade ” are in control of certain parts of the Iraqi capital Baghdad and the provinces of Iraq of Shiite component , and these factions have the ammunitions and weapons making their control seems as an actual division to the areas they control as if we were in front of the case” the kings of the tawai’f that prevailed in the state of Andalusia as conflicts and wars between them led to the fall of Andalusia and this may be repeated in Iraq after Daesh and postmodern world as factions leaders in Iraq may becoming emirs of tawai’f ” communities” , including disagreements and conflicts may lead Iraq to the brink of the abyss, and the truth of this hypothesis was proved as the armed factions already engaged in armed conflicts among themselves in the south of Iraq. On the external level that the continuation of the popular crowd in Iraq after Daesh and its political, military, security and media and economic weight and a link of its main factions as it was also known to the Iranian regime and the control of this regime on Iraq since 2006 and to this day, it may make the popular crowd as reserve army to the Iranian regime in Iraq and be a tool for this regime to intervene in Arab affairs to destabilize it, it is no wonder that it will send some factions of the popular crowd after elimination of the Daesh in Iraq to Syria to support Bashar al-Assad, and sends it also to some of the Arab Gulf states, then , the disaster will be taken place in Iraq first and in Arab secondly noting that the Iranian regime in this case hits the Arabs with Arabs, and Iran is the only one which benefited from this beating. This is not what we hope for. This means that the dark tunnel in which Iraq entered to it will not end with the end of regulation Daesh but may be a new beginning for conflicts in Iraq, including the popular crowd and emphasis on sectarian quotas in the governance of Iraq, and conflicts between the majority of the Sunni population of Mosul who are interested in their city administration to certain extent of independence and between the federal government predominantly by Shiite color, which will seek to restore its central control over the province, and the conflict between the Kurds, who will seek to deduct parts of the province and its annexation to Kurdistan and the federal government, and conflicts between the Arabs of Mosul and the Kurds about the matter itself, and the potential conflict between Turkey and Iraq, which is bound to witness a realignment of Iraqi forces with each of the two disputants, a process that has existed since now, as Turkey adopts the wing of President of Iraqi Kurdistan Massoud Barzani, the Kurdish leadership and the Arab trained current for the battle of Mosul . As well as the existence of a chaos of rampant weapon in Iraq noting that the popular crowd who owns a huge amount of weapons can no longer be disarmed under any circumstances, and Daesh war made available for the Kurdish Peshmerga more regulation and arms until it became a strong army . For its part, A Sunni tribal groups are trying to catch the “arms race” in Iraq and participate in the ongoing war against al Daesh and hold the land that is to be restored from its fighters and in southern Iraq , armed clashes took place in some areas of the separated periods in the range of tribal and family disputes revealed about a huge amount of light and medium weapons owned by Shiite clans . And it is expected that the issue of misuse of weapons will remain exist in Iraq, and to be turned in the post Daesh to the existential danger threatening entity of the Iraqi state, which reached to an unprecedented degree of weakness that touched various institutions, including the security and military institutions that had sectarian considerations and armed Shiite forces appeared to compete it and working as a factor to weaken it and prevent to rebuild it after the semi-collapse case reached during the past years. According to the followers of the Iraqi affairs , the chaos of weapons had its consequences that go beyond of its security appearance to the political situation in the country and what distinguishes it of the fierce struggles on power . They assert that the weapons attributed to factions of the popular crowd are in the end weapons belonging to the competing personalities and parties , and each one of them has known militia works for its interest . and they warn that the state of the political life in Iraq of sharp disagreements and conflicts alarm that the struggle for positions and gains could turn into an armed conflict, especially if the war on organization of Daesh ended and tens of thousands of fighters have become idle and free from work with a huge amount of the weapons and ammunition at their hands . Not to mention the competition which could be up to the level of conflict between the Iranian regime and Turkey on Iraq in general and the control on the strategic city of Mosul to both of them in particular. the day is not far off when the Iraqi parliament will vote on the law, if necessary, to establish a «popular crowd» as a force independent from the Armed Forces . Waiting for the parliamentary elections after two years ? if the uncalculated surprises did not occur in Iraq of surprises , the representatives of «crowd» would achieve big victories that secure their control on the ruling Shi’ite National Alliance, so the Iraqi citizen aspiring to build a civil state is not the only one who fears from this nightmare .And not a Sunni and non-Arab people are alone in fear of it . Perhaps the ones who feared more from the nightmare are the leaders of Shiite National Alliance as the balance of powers within their structure will be turned . As if the destiny of the Iraqi state since 2003 and to this day to live the case of the troubled state and the society which is going to fall due to its endless crises . Go Iraq United

I know it's a Tom h.a.n.d.

Mom took a spill on some black ice yesterday. She broke her thigh bone and had 3 breaks in her ankle that tore open the skin. Her orthopedist did surgery last night on her ankle to clean out the wound and stabilized the ankle with plates and screws. She's having surgery on her femur this afternoon. Mom's a feisty 86, but she's still 86 and has a cardiac history. I ask that you keep her in your prayers. Thanks, 429

2017 is going to be a wonderful year. Thanks Thugs!

HowieC, can't answer that but here is an article from July 2012 from "Banknote" showing them to be issued in July 2013. Old archive articles like these is where I'm getting my opinions from. You remember a lot folks long time ago with that corny saying about "Smoke & Mirrors" well they still haven't RV'd yet...I'm not busy today so I will keep looking for articles from the CBI because they are the ones driving this train after all...Just my opinion of course. Iraq discloses designs for redenominated banknotes slated for July 2013 Jul 21, 2012 08:17 AM Category: Middle East According to Iraq's semi-official Alsabaah newspaper, the finance committee received specimens of the new Iraq banknotes from the Central Bank of Iraq. The specimens were of the 25, 50, 100, and 200 dinars. The committee urged the central bank to delay the introduction of the new currency from January 2013 to July 2013 to study all the aspects of the process. Other Iraqi media reports state that the new currency will be issued in denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 dinars for banknotes and 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 fils, plus 1 and 2 dinars for coins. The designs have been already chosen for banknotes and coins: 5 dinars: Beck waterfall and palm tree 10 dinars: dinar coin minted in the reign of the Umayyad dynasty and lighthouse Hadba in Mosul 25 dinars: King Hammurabi receiving the law and farming of Iraqi Kurdistan 50 dinars: King Codaa and Fort Ukhaydir 100 dinars: Central Bank building in Azwaip area in Baghdad and ziggurat 200 dinars: bridge and school

Much appreciated Thugs, I hope they just sign The HCL instead of another HCA. and let there people prosper.

GM DT AND DV.

In the last day or so DV member DoD said he feels the 500 note may be the largest note available soon. Having thought about this I have to agree. While no one can say what the new value will be what he says makes sense. So if the 500 is out not I feel we can expect the smaller denoms and coins to follow and right quick. pp

Not sure who negged you Indraman but I evened you out. Truly they are, "the ones who are throwing their temper tantrums in the streets of our great cities." This is a Democratic Republic that has used a consistent set of standards throughout the presidential elections. With the rife corruption promulgated mostly by the candidate who was not elected, there is likely inviolate reason for having the Electoral College. Why should States in the United States of America who have taken steps to reduce/eliminate voter fraud and eliminate non citizen voting be penalized by States who do not have appropriate citizen voter standards in place?

Thank you Bama Girl, I appreciate your kind words and support as well. As for the number of Dads out there like Mike Pence. We have more than we most likely realize and at the same time we need the ones we have to gain others with their talents. The fields are white and ready to harvest. However, it starts with fervent effectual prayer of the righteous (Revival is on the way)

bigwave, the new 500 Dinar note is part of the new currency reform. I'm thinking this is the highest denomination they will have. I will see if I can find the article that list all the new ld's.....

Why would a 500 dinar make any difference in rving

ohhh ya with you on that point really filthy dirty rich or enough to live a bit and to help wait i like yours better filthy rich

Abadi's mandate is REALLY beginning to take shape DV, we are seeing it come together daily on different important aspects. Check and double check your personal plan cause early 2017 could be very interesting Yota, your awesomeness is over the top, very much appreciated

Just more evidence that this is coming together.

The article states, ""the House of Representatives Select next Saturday corresponding to the 26th of November this date for the adoption of the popular crowd Act, after the political blocs by consensus". I am excited about this coming Saturday, November 26. Baghdad is nominally 1/3 of a day ahead of the Continental US so we can wake up to the middle to end of their working day and find out what is happening through the end of their working day. I think likely they will have some key things from their "must be done" list moved to their "done" list by end of day. There may be more news about the progress of the retaking and extermination/expulsion of ISIS from Mosul, too, to give an indication of when Mosul may be declared as taken back entirely from ISIS. Based on the other news articles, I suspect the announcement that Mosul is retaken will kick off another flurry of parliamentary action. Also based on the other news articles, I suspect from now to year end could see significant accomplishments in Iraq's progress leading up to our much anticipated event.

Largest Organized Voter Fraud Operation in Texas History! 1000’s of Forged Ballots! At least two races were won by Democrats through major voter fraud in one of Texas’ largest and most Republican counties!, Tarrant County! Aaron Harris of Direct Action Texas has documented severe voter-fraud and filed the evidence with the Texas Secretary of State who has referred to the evidence as “voluminous.” OH HELL NO!!! (In Texas when you hear those words you best run away very fast!) From the KCTP: The outcome of this investigation will be staggering. The left is salivating to turn Texas blue and so far their efforts have backfired. Wendy Davis’ State Senate seat was in Tarrant County and she gave it up to run unsuccessfully for Governor. Republican Konni Burton took that seat. The Liberal organization BattleGroundTX put everything they had into Davis’ race. Wendy could not even break through 40% of the vote and became known as the gift that kept on giving! She helped turn Texas redder, not bluer! So now the liberals turn to the only option left… cheating!! Well Y’all got caught! I expect this story to have many legs as we find out all the details. Yeah…someone better start running! You can see Aaron Harris’ presentation at the Empower Texas FB page. Here is a local report shortly before the election and before the Liberals actually stole two races with the massive voter fraud.

But the Democrats say there is no voter fraud, it is a figment of Republicans imagination. That is why Dems are hell bent against voter ID laws. The truth is that the more early or mail in voting that is allowed, the more voter fraud can be expected. In NC, they are not arguing IF voter fraud took place, instead they are going to determine if illegal votes should be thrown out if they are not subject to a formal protest. As more and more fraud is uncovered every election cycle, it will not be long before Americans will rightly question any and all election results. Elections Disputes Cooper, Dem lawmakers urge McCrory to concede in North Carolina governor race Published November 22, 2016 FoxNews.com Incumbent Republican Pat McCrory was urged to con cede the still-unresolved North Carolina governor’s race Monday nearly two weeks after Election Day. McCrory’s challenger Democrat state Attorney General Roy Cooper has said repeatedly that he won the race and received big support from Democratic lawmakers who believe there’s no way McCrory can win. "By any definition, Roy Cooper has won this election," U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., told reporters in Raleigh, adding that McCrory "is continuing to show his defiance and his stubbornness that he has shown the world over the last four years." Cooper said in a statement that “it would be irresponsible to wait any longer to tackle the issues we campaigned on across the state." He also brought online a website for people interested in working for his administration. The latest results from the State Board of Elections late Monday put Cooper ahead of McCrory by about 6,500 votes from nearly 4.7 million cast. That is up from about 5,000 votes on election night two weeks ago. Cooper claims the margin is wider and will be reflected as counties complete their formal tabulating. More than 20 of the 100 counties had performed their canvassing by Monday evening, state board data show. McCrory has shown no signs of giving up the race. His campaign pointed to formal protests in dozens of counties alleging absentee fraud and ineligible. The campaign is supporting formal protests in at least 35 counties that allege potential miscounts, absentee ballot fraud and ineligible votes cast by dead people or convicted felons. A spokesman says Cooper wants to bypass the legal steps for examining votes. "Instead of insulting North Carolina voters, we intend to let the process work as it should to ensure that every legal vote is counted properly," McCrory campaign spokesman Ricky Diaz said in a statement. A few early ballots were put aside because a voter hadn’t completed their felony punishment or had died before Election Day. The State Board of Elections revealed Sunday a data search determined more than 300 convicted felons may have voted unlawfully statewide during early voting. The state board also has been investigating allegations that roughly 150 absentee ballots were filled out in Bladen County unlawfully by a handful of people linked to a local PAC. Except for a protest over the counting of 94,000 early votes in Durham County — rejected unanimously by the local board — the number of ballots at issue in other disclosed protests is less than the race's current margin. Once all 100 counties complete their tabulations, probably by early next week, the trailing candidate can seek a statewide recount if the margin is 10,000 votes or less. On Tuesday, the board will have a hearing to receive opinions from political parties and the McCrory and Cooper campaigns about how it should advise county boards on whether they can throw out ineligible votes that aren’t subject to formal protests.
