If it was good for the goose it should be good for the gander. Particularly in light of video proof that Hilary's staff, and therefore Hilary herself, paid union members/reps $1,500 to go and initiate violence at Trump rallies. Plus both of Hillarious's campaign directors rigging the primary elections against Sanders and now Trump, via special favors and cash. Stuff less than this forced Nixon to resign. Not just encouraging thug like behavior, but actually paying gang members to start fights at Trump rallies. Is the DNC now going to pay for the police cars, businesses, and private property that were destroyed after the " just doin business for the neighborhood" got got. Just askin, cuz they should. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History shows that world events, geo politics, and technologies change regularly in a republic so why shouldn't the political representatives change too. Case in point, this country and the world saw a great economic revival when JFK, a Democrat cut corporate and personal income taxes for the U.S. citizens. Now, 56 year later when the economics strongly suggest that such a move will be needed again, the topic is demeaned and ridiculed because a Republican candidate proposed it.

fredst Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Shabibilicious, I hate to be so cynical but drinding it all down to the baser element of our society it seems to me about three words....'where's my check?' We have allowed ourselves to accept the situation because we're more in tune with Survivor, Kardasians, Gaga, 50 Shades....and so much other drivel. More people get their main source of news on social media sites than mainstream news sites...neither is good but mainstream relies (usually) on (SOME) actual facts.

flboy Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hello All, Just a honest answer to a honest question. After 13 years of waiting, hoping, reading this site and trying to be reasonable and believe what I am reading, Please give me a honest reasonable answer if this is ever going to be a blessing. Hell I would settle for .05, ..10 on the dinar. Just saying. Thanks for your time and consideration. flboy a long long time follower. Thanks God Bless America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indraman Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Flboy, Totally understand your concerns. I believe this is a once in a lifetime investment that could be in our lifetimes, or it could not. Reading the tea leaves in Iraq is like reading an oil pit...things get very murky from time to time and as a result, I think it is very difficult to predict the exact steps that needs to occur. I have been following this since 2010 and have seen so-called gurus come and go. I believe there are bits and pieces of truth in each person's view on the situation, and for me, it has been sort of like building a puzzle picture as you find puzzle pieces here and there. But in any case, the picture that I can see now is the best picture that we have seen in a long time. I will argue that there was possibly one previous time that might have been close, which was when Shabbi was at CBI, ISIS was no where to be found, and the political climate was fairly stable. But then as you know, everything went south and Iraq has been working its way out of the tar-pit ever since. Where i think we stand today can probably be summed up best by multiple people on this site...LaidBack has put down a pretty good list, with onr of the most important items being identified by Adam, the HCL. Let me summarize what I think the list should be, with no particular importance in order: 1. Security and stability--includes the removal of ISIS from Iraq, or at least the impression ISIS is no longer a threat. 2. Political stability--requires fully formed GOV with all figure heads filled and not held by proxy, including Judiciary and other branches of the GOV. 3. Corruption stability--all known offenders removed from power and positions filled by people whoare not political appointees but instead technocrats. 4. HCL--this would be probably one of the biggest political agreements that is necessary to move Iraq forward so that the new found wealth and economic well-being will be had by every Iraqi citizen. 5. Territories and region stability--requires full agreement in territorial areas to be held and controlled by the three factions--Hurds, Sunni, and Shia. (I could probably make the argument that this is the least important items on this list, as long as political and security stability provided a path forward to the realization of this item). 6. IMF/WB/USA agreements--although many have made great arguments for Iraq being sovereign in this process, I believe there are other external forces at work here, and in my mind makes the final decision point the most difficult to pin-point.

chess Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I concur with the above. For a RV to be implemented, it must be presumed that stability would be maintained, in order to maintain the value of the RV itself. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okane Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Flboy, Just sit tight. It is extremely frustrating, I'm with you, heck we are all with you on that one !!! But you, at least, somehow came to know about this little thing called dinar. You bought a few with the hopes that it would increase in value someday. So now we wait but as frustrating as it is remember that you are sitting in a good spot. You haven't lost anything be waiting. Not that I am thankful for the wait but I do think that I have matured over the years. ( Real story, several years ago, there was a huge tax break on airplanes. Yeah, I thought about ordering one banked on the thought the RV was at hand !!) So glad I didn't !!! I would still be paying for that one. I think I would have used that increase less wisely years ago. Sorta "easy come, easy go". The "wait" and all that comes with it has helped in many ways, I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
