  1. Many of them actually bring something informative to the table. They seem to be trying to be up to date and accurate as to what is going on. Others seem to be people who are starved for attention - like a hell of a lot on social media are these days. Nobody in their immediate circle listens to them much if at all - so they get on the media to espouse their goofy thoughts. People hide behind posts - getting worse. Always interesting to confront folks in person. You often times find out they are just parroting what some uninformed cretin states as fact. See it in what used to be the news and on just about all talk shows. Ton of other platforms as well - we see it every day.
  2. I agree with everything...except the slowly part. It's almost like watching a race to see what the current administration can ruin fastest.
  3. Quien sabe. There are so many - what if's being bantered around - nothing they come up with will surprise me. Many of the explanations provided actually seem pretty well thought out and likely. That said, there are some wildly differing scenario's proposed. Personally - I just scan articles/comments and will simply react when the RV occurs to however it is orchestrated by the Iraqi's.
  4. I trust you are kidding .......... otherwise yours is a pretty weird comment to a somewhat exasperated overview of a lingering litany of setbacks
  5. I hope nobody is holding their breath for any real increase in the dinar anytime in the foreseeable future. This has been a skipping record for a long time and looks to continue for a while. You can speculate how this will affect Iraq - but you will be wrong as they have a knack for pulling off the ridiculous and shooting themselves in the foot at every possible opportunity. I think Amir is a pretty savvy person and this video worth viewing SPECIAL MIDDLE EAST UPDATE - CHAOS IN IRAQ AND LIBYA 130,526 views Streamed live 21 hours ago Behold Israel with Amir Tsarfati SPECIAL MIDDLE EAST UPDATE - CHAOS IN IRAQ AND LIBYA
  6. In the 3rd paragraph - the comment re newly printed currency is of interest/ concern. I have thought/ worried for many years that Iraq might do so in order to invalidate all that Maliki, Iran and others have stolen, cut out all of the foreign investors such as ourselves to reduce the currency out there that they would have to honor. I do hope this isn't a possibility for any number of reasons. Would certainly suck for us all.
  7. So thoughtful and caring of Joe to do this for us. I do however wonder who he needs to thank for setting the reserves aside in the first place - thus providing a way for him to partially un__ck this small portion of what he has done to the country. And when he magnanimously does release the reserves, he will take credit for helping solve a national emergency. The fact he created the emergency won't matter to his lockstep followers.
  8. The dinar saga could very possibly fade away w/o an rv. This is something Adam and others have pointed out over the years. That said - although frustrated with the Iraq CBI and govt, those of us sticking it out believe in the likelihood that they will rv at some point for a number of reasons - unrest within the population, ability to do business internationally, cumbersome nature of handling a devalued currency that requires a wheel barrel full of it to go to the store etc... Each passing day will bring the rv closer. This year is actually looking promising - or likely in my opinion. The stars seem to be aligning well enough. I certainly feel your frustration - we all do. The preparations Adam and crew have made over the years are designed for us to have a thoughtful strategic path forward once the rv occurs. Until then we are all in a holding pattern waiting for something we see as inevitable to occur to finally happen. I pondered selling some dinar - then investing in crypto or lithium - make some money and then reinvest in dinar. If you are fed up with the whole expectation that an rv is coming - perhaps sell off a portion of your holdings - but do keep enough to make it worthwhile having been invested for this long. -
  9. Why they allowed Qaaani in the country baffles me. Granted there is an iranian following in Iraq - but Al-Sadr should be strong enough at this point to ensure at least the high-profile bad guys are kept out. Obviously, there are lower ranking subversives crossing into Iraq daily.
  10. Iraq doesn't need visits from this group - or any others from Iran. They need to get the western and eastern countries in asap. May help make them less susceptible to Iraqi influences. These countries would of course bring along their intel groups (something all countries do) which would make it easier to ferret out the bad guys - once you figure out where the bar is for bad guys in the ME.
  11. Although the US has never had a monopoly on - stupidly wicked people - ours are definitely more accomplished at it
  12. I'm surprised the citizens are putting up with the crooks and delays. Soon, I expect, there will be some serious rioting and with any luck a few of the crooks in govt hauled out into the street to get their posteriors kicked.
  13. My login info hasn't changed - all working. Send Julie a message if you run into anything you can't solve
  14. Been there - very interesting site. At Abrahams house site, only the walls have been rebuilt. Not sure as to their accuracy - doubt the plans are still around. The Brits were there back in the 20-30's , I believe, for archeology digs. You can look down into shafts they dug and see old fireplaces and pottery. We all thought UR looked a lot like Mayan structures. It's pretty complete except for the structure on top supposedly holding the golden harp. Used to be a very lush area until the Euphrates river changed course. The population moved with the river - had to.
