In the words of My Cousin Vinny..."Everything this guy said is bullsh*t" And you're right, if Commimala becomes president we are all DONE!

100% of this post is regurgitated CNN fake news, turn off the fake news and start educating yourself. Most of our civilization has made a decent turn in waking up but you're still standing with your head in the sand...

You believing in the most corrupt administration in history says a lot about you !!! Just how wealthy did the Biden family get off of China, Ukraine, Russia and Iran ?? just how many terrorists did the current border Czar fly into the United States in the past three years ??? Do you think these terrorists came to USA to pick crops .., Nah of course not !!! I’ll stick with the Felon with the bullshit 34 counts !!!

RON Mnt Goat Article Quote: “that the government is demanding guarantees for non – substituent currency back to the markets”. This means the reinstatement back to the FOREX trading markets. The CBI wants guarantees that once they begin the process of the Project to Delete the Zeros, it will go all the way to the reinstatement. So is this not what my CBI contact also told us?

It's disgusting & depraved to (for years) continue to push this bill. Just exactly how many Pedos' are in Iraq that this gains this much traction. They already have pleasure marriages with 9 year olds ( with rules you must follow 😄) arranged by clerics but this isn't enough? Apparently 18 year old women are over the hill & too old. You think I'm joking? An undercover journalist in Iraq exposed this insidious scheme. It still might be up on YouTube.

End of the exchange control over the dinar Internal recognition delete of the 000 Roll out of LD Notes Go stronger dinar

I’m all in at that rate!! If it hits at .76¢ I’ll cash in every last dinar I have and never look back. 👋🏻 Appreciate your input @Theseus!

“There is a weakness in the banking system's ability to absorb all the cash available to citizens, as most of this cash is inside homes, far from banks," noting that "the amount of cash available to citizens in homes is estimated at more than 80% of the issued cash mass, and this constitutes a weakness in the banking system, in withdrawing that mass and investing it.” If the CBI wants to collect the Chunky Cash stashed at home, they will have to delete the 000 sooner than later. “The issue of deleting zeros from the currency in order to reduce its effects on the size of the monetary mass and the value of money. The more difficult and complex the solutions to reduce the dollar exchange rate between the official and parallel rates become, the more calls for the necessity of deleting zeros increase, believing that it is one of the solutions.” Go delete of the 000 Go end of dollar auction Go LD notes Go Purchasing power

A float starting at over a dollar will fix that parallel market in a heartbeat! I would say it will be gone!

I wish to say that this experience has been one of the most educational experiences I've ever had. DV has helped me to grow and become a better person in more ways than I can ever express. I thank everyone, those who loved my commentary and those who didn't. It's without question that this site has forever changed me for the better. I am thankful for Adam Montana and all the moderators who gave me a chance when I probably didn't deserve it. Nevertheless, life has become more than enough for me to deal with. Also I believe that there's nothing more I can offer anyone here. My emotions are as strong as they are deep and for me to continue here would be like playing with 🔥 Fire. I simply don't wish to lose the hard earned respect from my peers. I've made several dear friends 🧡 here and would loved to have visited with you all. @pokerplayer Gloria you and your husband are, and always will be, near and dear to my heart and family. You know how to contact me. @yota691 John, where are you. I've so missed our conversations. Praying the Lord that everything is well with you. You're a great man. @TexasGranny Your level headed approach to everything astounds me. Such a beautiful person and wonderful spirit. May God bless you in everything. @bigwave I've never before seen someone as educated as you that has such a rounded perspective on life. And while I will no longer post I most certainly will be following you. A man who has something to teach everyone. Please don't ever stop. @NoviceInvestor Your generosity for my family will never be forgotten. I'm not sure if you still visit DV but I pray everything is well with you and your family down under. If we never see each other this side of Heaven I always have hope that we will on the other side. @Adam Montana Finally the architect of something so great. Which has cost you just too much. Nevertheless, I must say that your passion for letting everyone speak their piece as long as they are respectful is truly a rare commodity. Nothing could bring back what you paid for in creating this site. So please know that I speak for many here when I say, thank you. As long as I live you and your family will be in my prayers. There are so many others here that I would like to say thanks to individually but that would make this the longest post in DV history. Suffice it to say everyone here has played a part in helping me to be a better human being. God bless you all. 🎅

So they go to talk sanctions and meet with major banks and money transfer companies “high-level negotiating delegation headed by Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq held a series of intensive meetings in New York City, USA, which included discussions with the US Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Bank, in addition to meetings with a group of companies (Visa, Mastercard and MoneyGram) as well as banks (Citi Bank and JP Morgan) as well as international auditing firms (KPMG, E&Y, K2i and Oliver Wyman)." “the meetings in New York City also addressed the mechanisms for expanding the network of international correspondent banks and qualifying Iraqi banks to meet the necessary requirements to open their accounts with international correspondent banks; with the aim of enabling them to complete their financial transactions, whether through external transfers in US dollars or other foreign currencies." sounds like them preparing to go international….and at a time where the advisor saleh says they will not delete zeros at this time?

Dont tell me, your voting for camela! Great option. For sure the world wont be saved then. Keep your head in the sand, your lost. Bash away, again just my opine.

RON Militia Man "...Understanding between the Iraq Federal Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government..." You have two entities coming together. They had a lot of turmoil in the past. Now they've come to an agreement. A huge delegation from Iraq has gone to the Kurdistan region - The highest executive authorities in Iraq, the Ministerial Council of Economics...Planning, Trade, Interior, Central Bank of Iraq, legal, finance, oil department. The whole list was immense with their counterparts from the Kurdistan region working it out, which reeks of national reconciliation. If they get National Reconciliation I can see Iraq is going to go so far. It's phenomenal. Reconciliation is historic. Frank26 Alaq, he's back. He got back Friday...Where'd he go? Straight to Erbil. By the way, he's happy. He's got pep in his step. I'd be on cloud 9 right now too because of what they are about to give you [Iraqi citizens], the purchasing power. Your economic reform is going to explode in a nuclear fashion. Your country is poised to lead the world with its new monetary reform. The beauty is the whole world knows it. And the whole world wants it badly.

Pimpy Article: "The Iraqi Central Bank announces the results of his visit to New York: A high ranking delegation negotiated with the US Treasury" There will be another big meeting by the end of this year. They're trying to find stability in the exchange rates. This is not really new. This is what Iraq has been doing recently, focusing on the banking sector because that's a big part of them getting out of the dark ages and start working internationally once again. Is this a step in the right direction? Of course it is. But does this mean they're going to change the exchange rate anytime soon? No. There's no indication either way... Militia Man Road Development Project is going to be phenomenal. What we're going to see is the Untied States is going to be sticking around in some shape of form to protect their assets. Clare Article: "Economist talks about new measures after stopping transfers" Quote: "the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, in New York over three days with US Treasury officials gave a new boost and confidence to the Iraqi banking system. The Central Bank of Iraq will stop dealings with foreign correspondent banks in the future and reduce reliance on them, after developing the Iraqi banking relations network, and gradually ending work on the electronic platform for transfers and replacing it with direct banking relations between Iraqi banks and the network of international correspondent banks." Fnu Lnu The recent visit of the CBI to New York was most assuredly to have a chat with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The FRBNY is holding the DFI funds and has been since 2003. I should imagine that the CBI was discussing the release of the funds back to the CBI as part of the economic reform regimen. In the past, accounting of the funds has come under scrutiny. $1.7 Billion was unaccounted for, so said the Pentagon. Distrust has been an issue. In 2020 the State Department threatened Iraq with denial of access to the funds if Iraq ever insisted the United States military withdraw. [Post 1 of 2] Fnu Lnu Iraq has attempted exactly such a demand of late. I'm sure these demands and threats were a topic of discussion at the recent meetings. In 2021, the American authorities assured the CBI the funds were secured and accounted for but I should imagine the CBI wanted proof with the conclusion of the economic reform project drawing near. So you see, the recent meeting in New York has everything to do with the monetary reform as the numbers must be crunched and amounts verified. I see this as a positive in the grand scheme of things. [Post 2 of 2] Militia Man Article: "Away from the grey list" Quote: "Due to the spread of this phenomenon means the Iraqi business environment has become compliant with international standards." They're ready to be Article VIII compliant... To be in compliance you're going to have to have an exchange rate... 1310 isn't one of them... This reeks of Article VIII compliance with the IMF, knocking on the door. I think that is powerful.

Breitling may know economics but he apparently doesn't know anything about what's going on behind the scenes.. he only knows of the "show" playing on t.vs everywhere.. I imagine a ton of dinar holders will sell based off the "show" because they believe it's real... ---------- What does the Bible say about transfer of wealth? The transfer of wealth, as depicted in the Bible, refers to the movement or shift of resources, blessings, and prosperity from one entity to another. Proverbs 13:22 encapsulates this idea: “A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.” ---------- The righteous will hold their Dinar!

The valuation of a country. That's what they have to do. Sudani wasn't lying when he said the dinar is going to be stronger than the dollar. MarkZ Comment: Wealth manager sent out memo saying the dinar is a scam. Mark: Well if it is a scam - Trump invested in it, Warren Buffet invested in it…the US treasury has invested in it.

My 2 cents on this; We (the US Treasury) told you (the CBI) in January 2024 to get away from, stop using the US Dollar, stop the auctions and make your (the CBI) currency, the IQD dominate in your country. Since then, you (the CBI) have not done what we (the US Treasury) were asking. So now, we (the US Treasury) are setting up shop in your (the CBI) building to oversee that you (the CBI) follow the procedures that we (the US Treasury) asked you (the CBI) to follow. We (the US treasury) are not confident that you (the CBI) understand or are willing to do what we (the US Treasury) ask. Just to make our (the US Treasury) point and be crystal clear on this issue, we (the US treasury) are asking you (the CBI) to come to New York, to the home office, in August 2024, for a little "sit down", a face to face, just to make sure that you (the CBI) understand what we (the US Treasury) are asking you (the CBI) to do. You (the CBI) are out of time, we (the US treasury) tried to give you (the CBI) enough time and opportunities to get your (the CBI) act together and make things right.
