  1. Alright Kids here is the scup, I went to the bank today it took over an hour to just deposit money into my account the place was a Circus. Anyways I found the ringmaster outside smoking on a cell phone his English was poor and my Arabic sucks. Here is where it gets ugly he claims he has “ No small denominations yet” and if he does get them they will not be distributed until he is told to. I asked if he had any information as to when the currency would revalue he said that the CBI was the only ones who knew. But through his banking contacts it was not going to happen until after Ramadan. So there you have it that is all he could tell me, and the best translation you will get from me. Let the Bashing commence and fair “warning” I wired all your minus button to a government implanted explosive device in your computer so go ahead and hit that minus sign!!

  2. My Two Cents Worth as of 7/19/2010 posted by Enorreste on The Get Team Another week has passed and a lot of information has come to light since I did my “Vortex called Iraq” analysis last week. Therefore I thought it might be appropriate if I attempted to ties a few strings together regarding the events of the past week. Almost all of the comments I am going to make stem from information found on our forums. In a few cases, however, I will refer to some information that I have received but for which I am not yet at liberty to give a source. The crisis in forming a government is now coming to a head. Leaders of the various factions have been meeting during the last week and up until today as well. Proposals have been made and former enemies are meeting together on foreign soils in an attempt to get this government finally formed. We will start with Maliki. He has met with members of Al-Sadr’s Iraqi National Alliance (INA) and seems to have made some minor inroads into the coalition that Allawi has been trying to build with the same group. As recently as a couple of days ago Al-Sadr was quoted as saying that if it came down to Allawi, Mahdi, or Maliki, he would side with Maliki. This is the same cleric who said that there was no way that he would support Maliki every week for the last 4 months. Why would he change his position so late in the game? The answer is that Maliki promised to release prisoners of Al-Sadr’s military force. Even more to the point he said that Al-Sadr’s forces could exist outside the city limits of Baghdad. This is a major concession on the part of Maliki, and it appeared that it would work. However, Allawi in the meantime made arrangements to have a meeting in Damascus with Al-Sadr as well. At first the meeting was cancelled, for reasons unknown, but eventually it was held. After the meeting both Allawi and Al-Sadr made statements. The important words in both of their statements were that the talks were “positive and fruitful”. In that meeting Allawi has made a specific proposal. It included having himself as the Prime Minister, Talabani as the President, and Mahdi as the Speaker of Parliament. While Al-Sadr did not end up endorsing Allawi as Prime Minister in their joint press conference today, he did say that the talks were “positive and fruitful”. To me this is an indication that the two are within arm’s reach of each other and that a compromise leading to the final formation of the government is now in the offing. Allawi is then very close. He has his own coalition, the Iraqiya List. He has the Kurdish Alliance on board as well. If he is finally able to get the Iraqi National Alliance, Al-Sadr’s group, then this is a “done deal” and he will have formed his super majority. Of particular importance is that this group will have been formed without Maliki having a say in the negotiations. If Maliki is offered anything at all, it will be table scraps, IMO. I suspect that he will be offered something in the final agreement so that Allawi can appear truly to have formed a “unified” government. Incidentally, Maliki is on record having stated that he had no problem with Allawi becoming Prime Minister, as long as everything was done constitutionally. Furthermore, he said, if this was shown to be the case, he would cooperate fully with the new government. Therefore I suspect he will be thrown a bone, such as one of the presidential slots. As recently as last week these cards were in exactly the reverse order. At the same time, from outside the country, we see the forces coming into the Vortex called Iraq. Hillarious Clinton is currently in Afghanistan and is supposed to arrive in Iraq tomorrow, Tuesday. I sincerely doubt that this is just “coincidental” and that she will come to “crown” the achievement of Iraq finally forming its new government core. At the same time Joe Biden was on television on ABC today and made some interesting statements about Iraq. In particular he used the phrase “transitional government” in reference to Iraq. Therefore we know that from the American perspective, at least, Maliki is no longer serving as the Prime Minister but is just a caretaker in an interim capacity. This is a significant reduction in power, even though none of the players have left the scene. It is a “not so subtle” statement to Maliki to get ready and start packing his bags, IMO. Next we received information last night that the border dispute between Kuwait and Iraq has been finally resolved. This means that one more piece of the UN issues has been removed. As I stated earlier, moving the DFI funds out from under Chapter 7 was part of this. Now getting the Kuwait/Iraq issue largely resolved is the second part. The third part, weapons of mass destruction, is not an issue at all. Therefore is Iraq and Kuwait can resolve the money and body issues privately there is no reason that Chapter 7 should not be released now. I received information from a person in Iraq this afternoon in which he said that he was just told that Chapter 7 has in fact been released. We are attempting to confirm this at this time. If it is true, then we are definitely seeing the forces in the Vortex called Iraq pulling his all together for a very positive outcome for us all. I noted today also that the Arab League of nations in the Middle East has announced that they will hold their next summit in Baghdad. This is interesting indeed, given the security issues in the country. Do you think that maybe they know something that we do not, yet? So what may we reasonably expect over the near term? I believe that the new government shell will be announced and that Hillarious Clinton will be present for that announcement. The announcement will take place between now and Thursday, IMO. Allawi will be named Prime Minister, Talabani the President of the Republic, Mahdi as Speaker of the Parliament, and Maliki as a president in some other capacity. A unified new government involving all of the factions will become a reality. At the same time we will hear the announcement that the UN has removed Iraq from the burdens of Chapter 7. I also believe that we will see that the audit of the CBI will be said to be completed and that the banks will be allowed to re-open. This means that the IMF will also be satisfied that this is coming together nicely. If there are funds that have disappeared this will be handled more quietly by the new government, IMO. Finally, within only a day or two after that I expect to see the announcement of the new rate for the IQD. This will happen of necessity because on the 27th GE will begin shipping the materials for the new electric generators. They were quite specific that they wanted to be paid in dinars at the new higher rate. The Iraqi government gave them the assurance that they would receive their payment by the due date of July 26. This is a Monday, so the RV will have to happen either on Sunday the 25th or on the prior Thursday the 22nd. That is only a few days from today. I hope that this helps the members. Steve

  6. Hi All, this post is like a Part 2 to Frank26's post of today (19 July). It has much good information that helped shape Angel's & Franks's analyses...Enjoy...RON ANGELQUEST Post: 19 July 2010 - KTFM Hi Everyone, These posts below show much in what Frank has stated in his posts…They are old dates because IRAQ has owed them since then and probably future deals and the bottom 2010 article tells us HOW they will continue to prosper....but on TP....US doesnt take dinars but a marketable valued....currency... See it is the time to Pay the Piper as they say.........no???? JMHO…….. $2.4bn to pay for GE, Siemens contracts- minister August 9, 2009 - 05:24:25 BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The Iraqi minister of finance said that $2.4 billion U.S. dollars has been allocated to pay for electricity contracts with General Electric (GE) and Siemens, an official statement said on Sunday. Minister Baqir al-Zubeidi has called for coordination with the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) to send the money orders in an attempt to improve electricity production in the country, the statement noted. Now in searching no mention of money orders for payment since and then below is a total of the 3Billion contract.... no money....me no thinkey GE will keep doing this if no guarantee.........do you??? Oh so instead of paying them then with TP (worthless) they decided in the next sentence to SIGN A CONTRACT...now GE are not fools I say...you??? On December 15, 2008, the ministry signed a $3 billion contract with GE to import power stations with a capacity of 7,000 megawatts. The ministry had signed another contract with Siemens to build new electricity generating stations with a capacity of 3,300 megawatts. http://en.aswataliraq.info/?p=117299 Iraq can’t pay for massive GE contract August 3, 2009 at 10:56 am by Larry Rulison Reuters is reporting that the government of Iraq can’t pay for a $3 billion contract it has with General Electric Co. to provide the war-torn country with 65 gas turbines, enough to provide the country with 7,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity. Rut Roh maybe an RI is coming....no??? http://blog.timesunion.com/business/iraq-cant-pay-for-massive-ge-contract/14658/ GE Energy's Steve Bolze GE Energy, which has its power generating unit headquartered here in Schenectady, made a huge deal of the contract back in December, saying it was the largest in GE history. Steve Bolze, president of water and power for GE Energy, told the Times Union at the time that the equipment would be delivered over the next two years. GE makes its gas turbines in South Carolina and France. Reuters said that the Iraqi parliament could not agree to issue bonds to raise money for the project. A GE Energy spokesman, who was provided a copy of the Reuters story, did not immediately have a comment on the development in Iraq. HMMMMMMMMMMM…..I hear they struck a deal and it was to be paid by JULY 2010….no??? TP for money……………sounds like an RI…………….no????? Iraq signs $480 mln contract with GE for power plants 9:35am CDT BAGHDAD | Fri Jun 6, 2008 12:47pm EDT June 6 (Reuters) - Iraq has signed a contract with General Electric Co (GE.N) worth $480 million to build three power plants and is negotiating with Hyundai to buy diesel generators, the country's electricity minister said on Friday. Iraq faces chronic electricity shortages, with its fragile grid, battered by years of war, sanctions and neglect, struggling to keep up with increasing demand. The capital Baghdad receives only a few hours of electricity every day. Electricity Minister Karim Waheed told journalists in Baghdad that Iraq had signed a contract with General Electric last week to build three power stations in southern Baghdad the southern city of Kerbala, and Taji, north of Baghdad. "According to the plan, the work will be completed between the end of 2009 and the start of 2010," Waheed said. Iraq has also signed two other contracts, each worth $41 million, for GE to supply spare parts for the stations, he said. I just wonder what GE asked when they sent parts……received no US payment and were asked to send more……….makes one wonder………….no??? Iraq said last month it had signed a 179 million euro contract with General Eelctric to buy eight natural gas-powered generators, most of which would be installed in Baghdad. Five years after U.S. forces invaded to topple Saddam Hussein, and with violence at a four-year low, Iraqis are pressing the government to improve service delivery. Many areas lack access to electricity or drinking water. With the onset of summer, when temperatures can reach 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit), demand for power will increase as people turn on their air conditioners to keep cool. Waheed said there was a wide gap between the consumption and supply of electricity in Iraq. Demand is around 10,500 MW, far above the 5,500 MW the grid is able to supply. The minister said a contract would be signed with South Korean company Hyundai in Istanbul, Turkey, next week, to supply Iraq with diesel generators. He did not give a value for the contract. He said a contract would also be inked with German engineering group Siemens (SIEGn.DE) in Istanbul at the same time to supply Iraq with three "gas power units". He gave no further details. (Reporting by Ahmed Rasheed, writing by Ross Colvin) http://www.gereports.com/ge-signs-record-energy-agreement-in-iraq/ Now below shows you how GE knew they would be paid…. GE Oil & Gas Chief Says Iraq Is Challenging, Boom to Take Time February 03, 2010, 7:30 PM EST By Eduard Gismatullin Feb. 4 (Bloomberg) -- GE Oil & Gas, the General Electric Co. unit that provides equipment to oil companies, said Iraq is a “challenging” market and there’s no prospect of a boom for suppliers for at least a year. “Iraq is a potentially interesting market for us,” Claudi Santiago, head of GE Oil & Gas, said in an interview in Florence, Italy. “It’s very fragile and over time we know that there are opportunities.” It won’t “be a booming market in the next 12 months” because of political and security concerns. Iraq faces technical and labor challenges to raise its oil output to its target of at least 11 million barrels a day in the next decade. Santiago said it will take time for explorers to decide what equipment they need in Iraq before they place orders. A “huge” amount of equipment that GE installed in Iraq before war and sanctions stopped investment now needs upgrading, he said. Exxon Mobil Corp., PetroChina Co., BP Plc and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, the world’s largest oil companies, have agreed to develop fields in Iraq, the holder of the world’s third-biggest crude reserves. The Middle East nation said it needs $200 billion in investment to increase oil production fourfold. Oil companies that have agreed on production contracts with Iraq, promised targets for increased output. BP and China National Petroleum Corp. will invest about $15 billion over 20 years to boost production at Rumaila, Iraq’s largest field, to 2.85 million barrels a day from 1.07 million barrels a day in December. ‘On the Ground’ “Equipment on the ground in Iraq needs to be expanded and improved,” Andy Inglis, who heads BP’s exploration and production unit, said yesterday in an interview in London. “This is going to be a period of build-up, it’s about mobilization of our equipment, creating effective use of it. But it’s not an immediate ramp up.” The oil service industry slowed after prices plunged from a record $147.27 a barrel in 2008 to a low of $32.40 a barrel, forcing producers to postpone projects. For GE Oil & Gas “this year could be another year of single digit growth for our business,” Santiago said. “It will take another nine months to confirm that the world is moving to truly healthful economic recovery, though this is going to be bumpy for a while.” GE Oil & Gas revenue was $2.3 billion in the fourth quarter of last year, 5.6 percent of Fairfield, Connecticut-based General Electric’s total and 9.7 percent higher than in 2008, according to financial statements on Bloomberg. Drilling and workover expenditure in the Middle East and North Africa region has the potential to increase by almost a third to $27.9 billion by 2014, according to forecasts from Douglas-Westwood Ltd., an energy consultant. ‘Sustained Growth’ “The outlook for sustained growth is largely dependent upon crude prices, but several markets will be key, namely Mexico, Iraq, Russia, and the deepwater,” Scott Gruber, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York, wrote in a Jan. 29 report. Global oil service markets “are mixed but are broadly in the process of bottoming.” Oilfield service providers and manufacturers doubled fees between 2004 and 2008. After crude prices plunged, oil producers were able to renegotiate contracts. BP Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward yesterday pledged to push the industry “very hard” to reduce costs further. “We have gone through a deflation over the last 18 months. Now, we are moving more into a stable kind of period, which will be good,” Santiago said. “Big swings don’t help the industry to stabilize” and plan operations. __________________

I have always said if you have nothing productive to say then just keep it to yourself. Thanks again for the post. It is very sad that everyone can not just take these posts as they are rumors, and that is where you posted it.

  13. Frank26 Post: 19 July 2010 - KTFM Good evening Family, I like Oreo cookies. When I was a kid I used to take the cookie apart and only eat the center crème filling. When the cookie was first introduced it came in a gold package. The creators were French so they took the gold wrapper along with the French word for gold and added an E to the word to create ………Oreos. Right about now the 17 places where I am copied and pasted are scratching their heads …….some even cursing……..and asking themselves what in the world am I talking about? I am receiving more and more forms of communication where people are concocting some of the strangest rumors about my postings. If you do not belong to KTFM and read my nightly postings to the family members explaining my front page post then you will always be climbing an uphill battle to understand me. I am pointing this out and giving you the first paragraph as an example because we are finding bogus postings that others are doing in my name and blue color. This is disturbing to me. To mislead ………is evil. There is only one site that makes a daily pilgrimage to critique anything I post. Ali knows of this and he has asked this site to behave. The owner did but he passed on his ugliness to one member of his forum. To voice your opinion is a freedom in our country. To attack someone verbally on a chronic and consistent basis in a court of law becomes slander. You KTFM members are probably wondering ……why do I give this person the time of day? Because IMO …….we are close to the end . I prepare to go to the four corners of the world as I have told you but I have also prepared myself to defend what I do viciously. For almost two years I have allowed this one site to continually vomit on me. My lawyers have all of their postings for the last two years. To call me names is one thing but to say that I am stealing from our 501c3 or that I am asking KTFM members to send me all of their dinars as a thief is the definition of slander. This site is about to join forces with a former KTFM member. It has not been released nor will it ever be released why the board of KTFM made admin decisions recently. But I tell you what……..the truth can be set free in any court of law of this land of ours. Thank you kindly for tolerating a necessary procedure. Now for those that respect the efforts of analyzing and studying our investment ……let’s review. Over the last three days you saw the articles that AQ brought to you. They were powerful. One even used the F word to scream at the GOI to sit and operate! There is some serious anger towards the GOI and it has caught their attention. Saturday evening I told AQ to give you the following: 16th to 26th ………..elected officials revealed. 26th to the 3rd……….GOI sits and gets to work. 3rd to the 15th ………..RI is revealed. If you look at these three events and put them together as one………..it is #3 of our 1….2……….3. Three sure took a long time to get here. Today all of you saw the article that AQ gave you where this coming Wednesday Iraq is telling her citizens that they have a ……….”SURPRISE” for them. IMO ……….it is not the time frame for the RI ……..but for the announcement of their parliament positions. Next week we hope this parliament sits as a GOI. With the following week after that……..in the still of the night the CBI releases the RI rate. It was also Saturday night that I had AQ tell you what was rushed through the Senate floor. In the same manner that something was rushed through that Senate floor on December 2009 when many were disgusted with the truth ……….of a post. Two reform bills one with the banking industry and one with the finance industry were prematurely passed last week. They were not due until later this year. Why the rush? Well ……..look a the subject they cover. O will sign for these two reforms on Wednesday. Seems like Wednesday there is a lot of SURPRISE…….SIGNINGS............On both side of the end of the Rainbow. There is gee whiz………and then there is GE. They will deliver a mountain of stuff to Iraq on the 27th. You know why? Because they will be paid on the 26th. You know with what? IQD’s. But aren’t 90% + of the 000’s already removed? Yes. Well isn’t the GE contract worth 3 billion USD……….2.4 billion from ’09 and the work they are doing this year on the generators .........in dinars that's 3 trillion! Yes it is why? Seems to me that for the GOI to make such a large payment in full it could possibly use up the remainder of their currency in the CBI. Interesting…….no? (that’s for you AQ) Well……….that would trigger off the need to release the lower denoms wouldn’t it? Yes it would……..awwwwww……….what a shame huh? Family right after my post today AQ will present to you articles and links covering this subject along with her commentary. That’s enough on the dinar. Let’s talk about other things. Saturday at 9:30pm my phone rings and it says Ali is calling. Hmmm……..I do not recall him calling that late. The heart ………skips a beat with a little excitement and hope. I answer the phone nonchalantly …………hello Ali how can I help you? He tells me to tell you Family that when you order dinars from his website that from now on you must put in their comment box that you belong to KTFM …….in order to get your discount. He said that there are too many calls coming in from KTFM and this will save them time in the long run. He said this applies to the Layaway Plan or any regular overnight delivery orders. BIGJOHN ……..when you have time Sir give me a call so we can change the wording on the top of our pages that remind them to ask for their discount when ordering from Ali. Looks like CHICKEN and I will be with you on another CC tomorrow night. This is helpful for my TINK. I will make a short post tomorrow and meet you at 7:30pm EST. Look for CHICKEN’s post to get the number and code. I have been invited to do a CC with ……….TERRYK. I have not spoken to TERRYK for awhile ............I have nothing but respect and love for the gentleman. He and I try to bring info/intel about our investment ……….spot on or wrong………at least we try with our sincere hearts. I invited him to join me next Tuesday on my CC. I welcome all sites but "one" to join me on any of my CC’s. Unity creates uniformity. Yes I like the #26. So does GE. So does China as they will RV for a second time of their 4 scheduled in 2010. I told you before China can only be patient ……….for so long. The withdraw of our troops has been accelerated!!! NOT at the end of August......But I have been telling You that haven't I. Look at August 1st. This morning one of our members was not in his proper frame of mind. I spoke with SHERRY about DAVID .......may we pray for DAVID. He has a history of motorcycle accidents that have left his body ravished with pain from so many injuries. May we also pray for R&J WALKER. As you know he returned to the heart of Baghdad. He called me last night with encouraging news. He was only angry about one thing.......he kept saying Sir......M has built the largest hotel in the country of Iraq next to his office. He kept saying.........I can't believe how big it is! I told him .........yes ..........compromise for peace comes in many forms. I guess he had a few extra dollars to spend and was given permission to create a place for his fantasy world. He will be able to wine and dine those that he used to.........in his pretty little hotel. Power .......hard thing for evil people to let go of. The problem is ........it's hard to determine who is evil. Finally I know I said no more Iraq but did you see the article today where officials are telling oil industries that they would “Give FULL SUPPORT by the GOVERNMENT for oil drilling” . By the who? By the what? Oh by the way………your government is still none of our business huh? How can they give full support when there has been no GOI seated? Oh I see……..never mind. So in 72 hours there is to be a ……….SURPRISE. LOL……..nothing that this backwards nation does could ever surprise me. But let’s give them a chance this coming Wednesday. I hope our 16th through the 26th surprises us with the announcement of their leaders. Our investment will become a ………Dream come true. But you must consider that ……….No dream is ever remembered nor recalled at its beginning. When awakening from a dream all you remember is that moment and if you are lucky you are aware of its ending. It has been a long battle for us as loyal and dedicated investors of the IQD. This road is coming to an end and I want you to realize that more than likely for the rest of your life you will only remember how ………it ended. Hang in there Family for you are about to be graded on the test of your time. You will never understand until the day we can talk privately as I say to you that I must now go to seek my ...............Golden Oreo Cookie. My Christian love and Aloha.

  15. This chat sure is positive. I just hope it is true. With a rate starting at $1.96 and then going to $3.46 within ten days. This seems extreme and kind of raised a red flag in my mind with this information. I could live with this friday though and with either one of these two rates. Thanks for the post.

IT HAS BECOME SO FRUSTERATING TO GET BACK ONLINE AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE POST TO FIND CURRENT ONES. IF THEY ARE A HOT TOPPIC WITH FEEDBACK THEN THATS GREAT BUT TO COME ON LINE AND HAVE 25 PLUS OLD TOPICS OF THE DAY BROUGHT TO THE FRONT HAS MADE THE SITE A PAIN IN THE NECK IMO! I ALSO THINK IT WOULD HELP IF WE HAD A THANK YOU BUTTON THAT SAYS THANK YOU SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO TYPE AND POST "THANK YOU FOR THE POST" ON ALL THE POSTS. JUST A SUGGESTION!! I LOVE DV!!!!!!!!

  18. Hi Folks, nope no word as of yet. They're supposed to be delivered to Baghdad this week, didn't say when, don't know when, but as I've stated before once I have pics/scans of them, trust me, all of you will see them in all their glory...lol. I'm not a pumper, I don't have a website, I don't associate with any pumpers or dealers, I'm in this just like you, and when my BOG's tell me they've seen them, or sent them home, I have no reason to question or doubt them about it. I have faith and belief in my men, we are from a brotherhood that withstood the ravages of losing our brothers from 9/11, cut from pretty much the same cloth. We're just Americans serving our country and doing what we love, firefighting. I've done over 20 yrs of it, which I'm enjoying some peace and freedom at home now, but still keep in touch with my men, I haven't heard anything but did send out another request last night to my men. Thanks, V

  19. MUSLIM MINDANAO [size="4"] I received a long distance call from my sister-in-law who resides in the southern part of the Philippines where Muslims are a majority.I had previously asked her to check if any of the money changers there accept IQD and also to ask them its value or exchange rate.This is the most up to date information as of today,"she said and i quote " that they do accept exchanges and value the dinar @ 0.18 per dinar which means this": 1000000 (IQD) x 0.18 (Philippine centavos) ---------- 180000 (Philippine pesos) / 46.00 ($1 exchange rate) ---------- $3913.04 (US) So it had actually increased in value more than three times....and furthermore the muslim clerk stated to my sister-in-law that they are just waiting for the memorandum from the Central Bank as to its actual RV rate.This is confirmed and verified.[/font][/size]

  21. I have a tidbit to add to the post above. The Arab League has added its name to those who are insisting now that the new Iraqi government be formed as quickly as possible. The pressure is mounting on the VORTEX called Iraq to “git ‘er done!” This means that we have the UN, the IMF, the US, all of the other countries who forgave Iraq’s debt, France, and now the Arab League all badgering the Iraqi leadership to get the new government formed as soon as possible. It is because of this enormous pressure (and the fact that Hillarious will be arriving tomorrow – LOL!) that I am confident that the compromise new government will be announced within the next 24 to 72 hours.

  22. Cindy Jacobs: An Urgent Call for Massive Intercession Dear Believers in Christ, A few days ago as I watched a news business channel, I received the following word from the Lord. As you can tell, it's a serious warning. I know the nation is in a delicate condition now, but I believe that I need to send this word out. I ran it by Chuck Pierce and he said that it fits with what he has been hearing, only more specific on the economic side. This is a wake up and it's so strong. A Serious Warning and a Call for Urgent Prayer A warning received from the Lord on July 17, 2010 in Dallas, Texas: A few days ago as I watched the financial news, the Lord clearly spoke these words to me, "The nation is teetering!" I then had a vision of the economy of the United States, on what looked like a "scale of justice." He then went on to show me that we must fast, pray and cry out to the Lord for mercy and solutions that will balance righteousness and justice. In praying to the Lord for wisdom about this word, I realized what must be done—it is time for the Church in America to stand up and take her place once again in the nation. I mulled over the fact that we have already lost so many of our liberties and this is what I heard, "If the Church doesn't fast and pray for a faster acceleration of revival and awakening, the iniquitous sin structures in the nation will tip the scale that is teetering and there will be another great depression." Of course, this word shook me to the core of my being. Many of you may be aware that the Holy Spirit spoke to me almost a year before the September 2008 economic melt down, that there would be "no more business as usual." The balance of the economy is fragile and depending on the way we fast, pray, and how we cast our votes in the next election will depend on which way the scale tips. We must pray and do. We must pray and act. We must awaken the Church to the state of the nation without fear of pleasing man or fear for our reputation. God is watching to see which way the die will be cast. If we shift the nation to Biblical values in the arenas of righteousness and justice, the economy will follow. If we continue in our stance of support for Israel, the Stock Market will stabilize and prosper, and that which is fragile will become strong. Supernatural solutions will be sent from Heaven that our natural minds could never reason, nor grasp and they will heal the land. If we do not heed in this hour there will be a tumbling of our economy and dark days will be ahead to such a degree that our nation will possibly never fully recover from and have the greatness as a nation that God has favored us with for generations. God have mercy. God send an awakening. God send salvation. Cindy Jacobs Generals International Email: generals@generals.org

  23. Allawi, Sadr urge to accelerate government formation Tuesday, July 20, 2010 12:01 GMT Head of Al Iraqiya List Iyad Allawi affirmed that it has been agreed with Sayyed Moqtada Al Sadr on the necessity to accelerate the formation of an inclusive government. The government should gather all the components of the Iraqi people and get the country out of the crisis, Alawi said. Political powers should focus on an Iraqi government that unifies the Iraqi community, he added. http://www.alsumaria.tv/en/Iraq-News/1-51994-Allawi%2C-Sadr-urge-to-accelerate-government-formation.html

  33. Alot of you may be younger than me...But I truly don't want to spend years of my life fighting the IRS...so this is what I did. I bought dinars based on what would make me real happy and assuming it RV's at about .10 cents. Then I bought enough more and assumed a 35% tax rate to cover taxes. I am fairly certain that the IRS will have a statement with "their" opinion. I have friends that have fought the IRS for 30 years both in and out of court. I don't want to. I would rather be on the beach sipping drinks with some of you. Do I agree we are getting ripped off...absolutely. THERE IS PLENTY TO BE MADE THOUGH AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY. Just think about what you have been living on and then add another $5,000 or $10,000 a month.Pretty nice huh? And yes...what happens if it RV's at .83...or $2.00 or.....$3.41. Now were talkin....Just don't get in trouble. And remember. POURITFORWARD

  34. Frank26 Post: 20 July 2010 - KTFM Good evening Family There is intel ……..in them there hills. The trouble is finding individuals with a willing working heart to climb these mountains. For the longest time I have proclaimed for us not to pay much attention to the articles. But instead ……..to pay attention to what they do. Logic says that if your eyes witness an event then there is a good chance that you have an understanding of what is going on……….but do we really? God made us with two eyes in order to perceive the three dimensional world in which we live. This world of ours …….in a third dimension ……..can only be seen if both eyes are used at once. Try closing one eye for 24 hours. Watch your perception……..your interpretation of the world that you live in change dramatically. Besides depth perception ……..confusion can set into the mind. One eye alone gives you binary vision. It is crucial for the brain to use both eyes in order for it to calculate the reality of our third dimensional existence. Yes we have 20/20 vision but sometimes it takes a third eye to see clearly. IMO…..that third eye is ……….FAITH. We see with our own eyes every day the obvious progression in Iraq. Yet……the picture is incomplete within the yearnings of our financial needs. Faith can improve our vision. If you saw a man walk to the front of his house with a paint brush ……..a ladder and a bucket of paint…….do you think he is preparing a trip to the moon? IMO…..it is obvious what our eyes are seeing day after day in the formation of the GOI. Do not assume that they are preparing for anything but the obvious. Make sure that you are sincere in your prayers to God so that this third eye of Faith can help you to better see the future of your investment. Be strong……..oh yes……..and then be oh so much stronger. I go through a lot to protect myself and team. So kindly pay close attention to what I painstakingly share. Please …….do not assume. Intel is fragile and critical as it is and needs not to be put on silly putty to be stretched out of recognition. Especially those that are not members of KTFM who do not see the 1500 to 2000 postings that occur nightly after my front post is done. Confusion about my intel defeats the purpose of motivating you with Faith. Let me give you two quick examples. Remember awhile back I asked how the animals boarded Noah’s ark…….I asked for the number of pairings? The majority of you said two by two. Well that was correct up to a certain point. Yes they came to Noah two by two…..male and female. But you had to keep reading God’s intel to understand that the clean animals boarded paired in sevens. That’s 14 of a species. The unclean were boarded only as a pair. When I fully understood this precious intel of God my eyes widened. I learned the story as a child but as an adult when I STUDIED God’s Word of intel …….I realized that the Ark was 14 times larger than I could have ever imagined! Wow…….that’s serious intel that many of us have missed growing up. If I was to ask you how many times the cock crowed when Peter denied Jesus…….I would venture to guess that the majority of you would say………three times. As I read God’s Word that is so intelligent I was hurting for Peter because for an instant his human side shinned. Yet……..I may surprise you when I say that you would be wrong ……it was not three times. Oh but we are so positive and convinced that it was three times that the cock crowed. Yet ……..when we STUDY the intelligent Words of our Creator things tend to make better sense. You see Family in the books of Matthew and Luke ……Jesus told Peter that before a cock crows he would deny him three times. In John……it says a cock shall not crow until he denied Jesus three times. Finally in Mark…….it says before a cock crows twice……..he will deny Jesus three times. As convinced as you may have been to tell me that the cock crowed three times ………it wasn’t……….it was Peter that denied Jesus three times. Yes intel can be as valuable as the gold in them there hills. May we pray and respect and help in the study of bringing intel well examinated verses contaminated. Thank you kindly for allowing me to teach today. Tonight I will be with you on our CC to answer your questions. I will start by giving a breakdown of the following that I presented last Saturday. 16 to 26th……….elected officials announced 26th to 3rd………..GOI sits down 3rd to 15th…………RI rate is released It is the culmination of #3 of our 1……2……….3. It sure took three a long time to get here but IMO……..it’s about to happen. I will occasionally sit on my couch depending on your questions. Good Evening Family, this is jmt0820 speaking aka CHICKEN or more formally known as Jesus. LOL Just taking a little corner of Frank's post to remind you of tonight's Conference Call. The information is as follows: Time: 7:30 - 9:30 PM EST Dial-in Number: (760) 569-7676 Access Code: 892625 As with our last call, there will be members of KTFM and there will be members from PR also. So there may be some qts asked in Spanish, but we will do our best to translate to English for those who do not speak Spanish. Also, as with our last call, after it ends the link will be posted here so those who did not enter the call for any reason is able to hear it. I hope you are able to attend. See you there. Finally here’s part one of a bank story that we will follow. Remember when I told you not to take no for an answer when asking for higher bank officials because they are aware and just as frustrated as you and I? This story shows persistence and we will share the follow up when it is sent to us. Please enjoy. Start of BOA story: I called the bank near us to talk to them yesterday, around 3:45pm and asked if management would be in and they said yes, told them I would be there with in 1 1/2 hrs to talk. That’s all I said over the phone. So when we both showed up, bank was closed, we showed up at 4:30pm knocked on doors and said we talked to someone here already (women at the bank said sorry closed) I said I need management only, she left then came back and let us in and we sat down with management, I told him I was there to make sure that when I have a wire transfer go through that I can call you to confirm it. His comment was a teller can tell you, my comment was no that's not what I want and all I said next was IQD he knew what that was and said ok understand, and also need to help XXX buy, his comment was not right now we can’t sell it but I can have Merrill Lynch call you to help with all the stuff you need, they are a part of us, soooo I am now waiting on that call. It has been a long road that we have walked on. A road that has gone through the valley of many shadows. Some have scared us and some have irritated us but through it all God was always there. You’ll never walk alone. God has also given us each other’s hands at KTFM to hold firmly for support. We are battle tested and stronger for it……if not better. I will see you tonight on the CC and close by singing to you what I am trying to tell you. That with God …….."You’ll never walk alone". My Christian love and Aloha. KTF, Frank __________________ Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

  35. Is it possible that the US could be holding this RV thing up? I've heard talk on here about the new tax laws begining around the first of the year. Just a thought. I just can't wrap my mind around how long this election process is taking. It's almost as if it's being put off for a reason. Oh by the way i'm new to the site but been invested since 04 I mainly just read everybody's post and try to desifer everything as best i can. It's like they don't even know what they are doing over there is that really possible maybe so ????? Who knows.

  39. YO...welcome to the site. Although I would normally agree with you...I think we are to the wire on this RV. It's kind of like saying I'll have kids when I can afford them. It would be a small world if that happened. Hard to believe but they are pretty stable now considering their past. We compare them to us but that is like comparing Marilyn Monroe to a VW Bug. They both have nice headlights but with one if you lean forward you will have good vision and with the other one you won't. POURITFORWARD

  40. I think with the motivation that has been generated on here and it is ALL POSITIVE..... I think once the RV happens... I think we need to form the same type of system to take back America. I think we will ALL have a little more time and money to do what we can to help. I like the intel from these people on here and want to find something or some cause to fight for. Some of my money will be going to help take back the country we once had. Who wants to join me???

  42. I would have to say the article a few weeks back stating that 70% of IQD had been removed at CBI as of April. You dont remove that much liquidity for nothing. It also put the final nail in the coffin of the l o p theory. If they were going to l o p, there would be no reason to remove liquidity.

  45. Thank you for not bashing me, I was letting this person know that in Adams chat he states catagorically that his contact has seen the smaller denoms and that another contact , a bank employee at CBI saw the trucks with the denoms. I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to Adam. If I am wrong in doing so then so be it however, I think we should give a little trust here to Adam. We are on this site mainly because of Adam so throw a little trust his way. We are all frustrated and want to bash people that share info, intel, or even rumors but we need to remember no matter what anyone says or knows or hears that this wont be over til its time for it to be over. We can rant and rave all day long but that wont help. Have a nice day.............

  46. Superfly I tried to get to the Bank today but the place was a ZOO and I had to give it up. Once again I will try and get there tomorrow I need to deposit more dinar into my account and I will pump the bank employees again. They either truly don’t know anything or they are not saying anything. After the thread was posted about small denoms one of the guys from my department went up and asked them about the smaller denom and the bank workers told them that they did not have any denoms under 50 dinar.

  47. For what it is worth I agree we need to see the lower denom scans that were "promised" soon. To say that and then be silent on that issue raises my suspicions no matter who first said that "proof was on the way" even from Chief who then should say why no scans yet!!! This is not to bash but either "put up or shut up" about this I sincerely hope this is not another pumer scheme just like so many we have seen. With all the following AM has, we need more than "hearing" about lower denoms. Thanks and look forward to discussions on this otherwise slow dinar news day AGAIN...........UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

  48. DinarVet Team, To the folks that just made the recent NEGATIVE comments, READ THE PLANS BEFORE MAKING SUCH STUPID COMMENTS ABOUT MY WORK!!!! I spend countless hours to benefit others and I do this free of charge and ask nothing in return! My integrity is the only thing I will go to the grave with and I intend to keep that at the highest level possible. So here's my comments --- READ THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE SAME PEOPLE THAT DO RV'S EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THEM -- SEND YOUR COMMENTS TO THE UN, WORLD BANK, AND IMF --- FRANKLY I DON'T CARE --- JUST DON'T SEND THEM MY WAY UNTIL YOU HAVE CREDIBLE PROOF THAT THE PLAN HAS BEEN ALTERED. TRUST ME, I'VE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST!!! THE ACTUAL LAW OF IRAQ SHOWING THE NUMBERS AND TIMING --- UNTIL YOU HAVE COME UP WITH THAT --- THIS DEBATE IS OVER!!! SEE BELOW TO START: World Bank IRAQ DPL (Page 8 of 119) ---- World Bank IRAQ DPL The Program faces significant risks, which include: "Political and economic performance risks. The ability of the Bank Group to engage with Iraq would become constrained by a reversal of recent, hardwon security gains. Related to that, a deterioration in the political environment either in Iraq or in the Region would also affect the Bank’s ability to implement its assistance program. The DPL could also be affected by risks related to the Government’s commitment to an ambitious reform program at this time. In particular, the design of a robust program acceptable to the Iraqi authorities might be challenging in an electoral year iv and during a time where oil prices have started to rise anew. Likewise, a new Government post elections may not agree to implement the same program. Given these political uncertainties, the operation has been designed as a single tranche DPL as part of a programmatic series of two DPLs. This DPL is underpinned by a reform agenda already adopted by the current Government. In addition, this reform program is being implemented with support through ongoing technical assistance programs by the Bank, IMF and other donors. It has also been designed to be realistic, yet consist of important reforms and milestones, complementing existing Government reforms supported by ongoing TA activities, each with their own risk mitigation measures, and opening the door for the Bank to engage with the Government in the medium to long term on critical issues to improve Iraq’s fiscal sustainability. The programmatic approach of this DPL will also help mitigate the risk of relevance and ownership across Governments." Page 10 -- Same World Bank Document 6. Through the reform program that underpins it, the proposed operation will help focus attention on key reforms critical to Iraq’s longer-term development. These reforms are reflected in a set of prior actions to be completed before the proposed operation becomes effective, as well as on triggers for the second DPL in this proposed series. These reforms focus on: (i) strengthening budget management and prioritization; (ii) reforming the financial sector; and (iii) improving the efficiency of the social protection system. They are consistent with the thematic areas of the Bank’s Interim Strategy Note 2009-2011 for Iraq. The prior actions focus largely on institutions and processes. This is because many of Iraq's institutions were rendered dysfunctional during the past thirty years of authoritarian rule followed by war. As a result, they need to be substantially modified to fit the needs of a modern democratic state. Page 30 77. Underpinning the whole program was a major effort aimed at strengthening the regulatory and supervisory authorities. CBI embarked on a comprehensive program of capacity building covering extended areas of the regulatory and supervisory functions, with the objective of moving from compliance to risk-based supervision. This includes undertaking a thorough and comprehensive review of banking supervision processes; an updating and enforcement of a set of regulations in line with international 22 standards; and making new recruitments and developing training. These initiatives are supported by the World Bank, the IMF and the US Treasury. 102. In all three pillars of the proposed DPL, the underpinning technical assistance projects are funded through the multi-donor Iraq Trust Fund (ITF) financed by contributions from 17 donors15 and administered by the World Bank. The status of ITF projects is reported regularly through the International Reconstruction Fund Facility for Iraq (IRFFI) website and through annual formal reports to donors Page 41 --- Same Document 107. The proposed DPL is underpinned by six key ITF-financed companion projects designed to build capacity and provide technical assistance in each of the three pillars, namely:32 Public Financial Management (PFM) Reform Project (US$18 million; FY09). This project aims to improve allocation, execution, transparency and accountability in the mobilization and use of all public resources. Cross-cutting reform of the PFM will be addressed by strengthening budget formulation, execution and control, improving public financial reporting, strengthening public procurement and developing capacity in PFM, both at the central and the governorate levels. Emergency Banking Sector Reform Project (US$10 million; FY09), which supports the implementation of Phase I of the Banking Sector Reform Strategy—Action Plan (2008–2012), aiming at improving the performance and soundness of the two state-owned banks—Rasheed Bank and Rafidain Bank, as well as strengthening the capacity of the supervisory functions of the Central Bank of Iraq. Page 45 - Same Document 125. In addition to the Bank’s stocktaking specific to the Iraq context, the 2009 Development Policy Lending Retrospective19 indicates that programmatic DPLs have allowed the Bank to stay aligned with country processes and respond more flexibly to changing country circumstances and government priorities, and that this flexibility has been essential to strengthen ownership of reforms supported by the Bank. The programmatic nature of this DPL is suitable for Iraq’s changing circumstances which require flexibility, particularly given upcoming elections and therefore ownership of and commitment to the reform agenda. THERE ARE SO MANY MORE REFERENCES IN THIS DOCUMENT, BUT HONESTLY -- YOU NEED TO READ FOR YOURSELVES BEFORE MAKING THOSE COMMENTS ABOUT MY WORK! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMF Document 1072 -- IMF "UNDERPINNING" PAGE 2 The main objectives of the program are to maintain macroeconomic stability during a period of high economic and political uncertainties (parliamentary elections are scheduled for March 7, 2010), and to provide a framework for deepening structural reforms. PAGE 7 8. Parliamentary elections are scheduled for early March 2010. These follow the first parliamentary and provincial elections successfully held in January 2006 and January 2009, respectively. While the elections could result in a change of government, the main orientation of economic policies is not expected to change. PAGE 25 50. The authorities’ economic program for 2010–11 is well focused on maintaining macroeconomic stability and advancing the unfinished reform agenda. The program will provide an anchor for economic policy during a period of economic and political uncertainties. Also, it will ensure that no time will be lost during the period of political transition after the elections in improving infrastructure and public service delivery and implementing critical reforms to strengthen fiscal governance, enhance oil sector transparency, and develop a financial sector capable of providing essential services. PAGE 82 Against this background, the authorities have designed an economic program for 2010–11 that aims to maintain macroeconomic stability during the period of political transition (parliamentary elections are scheduled for early March 2010) and deepen structural. reforms, particularly in the areas of public financial management, the financial system, and oil sector transparency. In support of this program, the authorities have requested a new Stand-By Arrangement from the IMF in the amount of SDR 2,376.8 million ($3.6 billion). This amount, together with disbursements from the World Bank under a Development Policy Loan and support from some donors, is expected to cover the financing gap for 2010–11. An important objective of the authorities’ fiscal program is to contain current spending in order to gradually reduce the budget deficit and make room for additional investment. Specifically, current spending in both 2010 and 2011 will be kept broadly unchanged in nominal terms at 2009 levels. At the same time, given the urgent need to improve infrastructure and basic public service delivery, a significant increase in capital spending is planned for 2010, following an underexecution of the 2009 capital budget due to administrative capacity constraints associated with security incidents that affected the Ministry of Finance towards the end of the year. Monetary and exchange rate policies will continue to aim at keeping inflation low in 2010 and 2011. I could go on and on with different documents identifying this plan --- my recommendation --- READ THE DOCUMENTS BEFORE CALLING ME OUT!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To those who have offered their thanks and gratitude, have a great night and I am most appreciative!!!! Best regards, Scooter
