  1. I come from Dubai, I was born in Bahrain. I want u all to know that all this rumors from kuwait, jordan or dubai are all false & carry no meaning whatsoever. My whole family lives in and around the middle east. I'm so tired & so disturbed about the whole rumor section, when people post , without even thinking of the impact people will have. There are so many stories of the people who have invested & they are all so anxious & wishing . So plz this is my humble request to all (terry, Possum) . Stay away from the rumors & watch the real news. If u cant watch the real news then read all the posts which the moderators post , but plz leave your experiences with yours banks relatives & your superiors behind thank u all & god bless

  2. Yeah, yeah. First of all, I have been on this website for over a year and have never posted any cash in rumors. You can read any one of my posts. So I do have a history of NOT spreading prevarications. NOW, to what I heard. And yes this is like adding a log to the "cash in" rumor fire, and I wouldn't even it give it a second thought if it wasn't for the person who called me and told me. She introduced me to this investment over a year ago. This woman would not make this up. It would be like my mother lying to me. And she wouldn't. So...... My friend calls me and tells me she just got off the phone with her good friend who verified two of her friends just cashed in in Dubai at 3.10. They would have gotten more but did not want to open an account and leave their money there. I know this runs contrary to Adam's chat that I actually just read before my friend called me so my excitement was tempered but because I have known my friend for years and know the kind of person she is, I have to give this story as much weight or more. My hestitation in competely swallowing it, is that I don't know the friend who called her. But she does and swears by her. So there you have it. Again this is my first ever rumor post of a cash in, and I am not a newbie. I have educated myself for over a year on this, and have followed it everyday(literally). IF....and I do mean "IF" this is true, then perhaps we are days away. GOD Bless, and hold on just a little while longer, either way.

  3. I'm posting this in the "rumor" section because this is where this "rumor" has turned straight Tsunami!!! Business... First of all, a little about my background. I've been in the IT industry for over 20yrs. I'm a disaster recovery UNIX systems engineer. I've worked in retail, banking, real estate, all from an IT perspective of course (datacenters and such). Now, the rumor that the Bank of America "mainframe" was down so they can prepare for the RV is a stank arse lie. As you will see from the article posted only one area of services was affected. ONLINE BANKING was down and actually not really down but experiencing slow through put. Again I urge you to do your own research to find truth. While alot of companies have "legacy" mainframe MVS and AS/400 systems practically all of them have UNIX/LINUX running in their datacenters. Without getting too technical, it's on those UNIX servers that mostly all the applications that push websites to the internet are running. When you walk into the bank and they're accessing your account, those computers are accessing information coming from UNIX systems. QUESTION??? Were any of the Bank Of America branches closed due to this system down?????? LMMFAO!!! NO!!!! All companies, ESPECIALLY BANKS AND COMPANIES THAT DO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF TRANSACTIONS WEEKLY, cannot afford to have what we call an SPOF (Single Point Of Failure). When you have major transactions going on daily and debit/credit cards are hitting the banks servers from retail outlets all over the world do you actually believe they would only have those running through ONE server???? I think not. Most if not ALL companies use what is called "High Availability" meaning they have 2 servers, which are sync'd, available for the samething. If one goes down the other one receives a signal that the primary server is down and it automatically assumes the primary position on the network. Now it's time to get the primary server fixed. At that point computer operators call 1st level support, if they can't handle it they call 2nd level and so on. Happens ALL THE TIME!!! The employee and the customer are none the wiser. Could you imagine the catastrophy if the main production system for the bank went down for a 10-12 hour period???? Caos...Plain and simple. People...The online banking website was down...that's it....that means, YOU HAD TO GET UP OFF YOUR BEHIND AND GO INTO THE BANK! LOL!! That's all. RUMOR..... DEBUNKED....... Bank of America restores online banking system Bank of America website restored after online banking down for some users over 10 hours Friday Eileen Aj Connelly, AP Personal Finance Writer, On Friday January 14, 2011, 7:57 pm EST NEW YORK (AP) -- Bank of America Corp. said its online banking service has been restored for all of its customers, after being inaccessible for some users for most of the day Friday. The Charlotte, N.C., bank would not say exactly how many of its 29 million online banking customers were unable to access their accounts during the outage. The problem appeared at around 7 a.m. Eastern time, and was resolved about 5:15 p.m., according to spokeswoman Tara Murphy Burke. She said the majority of customers could access online banking during the day, but acknowledged that the system was very slow for those who could get in. As news spread of the outage spread during the day, traffic to the website increased and it became even more difficult to access. Burke said the problem cropped up after a "routine systems change" overnight. The bank's ATM network operated normally throughout the day, she said. It's not the first time customers of the nation's largest bank have had trouble accessing their accounts. The site was down for about four hours on Aug. 27, and there was another outage about a year ago. Other banks have had similar problems, including a problem at Chase.com in September that persisted for more than a day. In December, Bank of America joined several other financial institutions in refusing to handle payments for WikiLeaks, the secret-releasing organization that is rumored to be preparing a release on the bank itself. The bank's actions followed similar moves by MasterCard Inc. and PayPal Inc. The bank's site did not show any impact from hackers at that time in response to its refusal. Bank of America shares added 48 cents, or 3.3 percent, in Friday's session to close the week at $15.25. LINK

  5. Why have I noticed in the past 5 days or so there have been about 5 or so losers that have invaded DV and are bad mouthing Adam and all of us here at DV. They are trying to steal members to some site that I will not reconize but I know you all know what site I am refering too.... Is there site so small that they need to come try to steal from DVs rolls? Do they think that the best way is to bad mouth Adam or other members here at DV? Would it not be smarter to just say hey here is another site which has good info?!? Even though I do not believe the previous statement it would be a smarter way to go... Also another thing how come whenever I see a post involving these members all of them site on it and give a negative rating to anyone who defends DV and and Positive rating to their loser brothers... DV should band together as a family we are and force them away from our forums as I grow tired of seeing their lame exuses for the RV dates and rates and the following excuses of why it did not RV when they said as well as the bashing of Adam when to my knowledge and to my knowledge Adam has not bothered them... I mean to be honest why would Adam bother with these children who obviously cannot be adults and only know how to name call and attempt to ruin someones reputation... Anyways thanks for reading my rant to those who have come to bad mouth DV please and thank you for the negative ratings to the DV family thanks for the replies and positives to ofset their negatives....

  6. Ok folks, think about this. There is a new post over on another site that says there is a large number of private jets flying to the middle east and cashing in. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLA BLAH, those guys are pumping so hard its not even FUNNY and you should be ashamed to see people mess with others hopes and dreams. NO OTHER COUNTRIES ARE CASHING IN!!!!!!!! ITS ALL PUMPING SO DEALERS CAN MAKE MORE DINAR SALES! THEY ARE PUMPERS AT THE OTHER SITE ALL OF THEM Think about this for a second. Lets say I am joe millionaire and I have my own plane and lets say I have 50 million dinar. I hear they are cashing in in Dubai. So I get on my private plane and I fly to Dubai and I cash in at lets say $3.00 to one. Now my 50 million dinar equals $150 million USD. You with me so far. NOW HERE IS MY POINT. What is the very first thing that you SHOULD do. Call Ali and say I want to spend say $50 say $50 million USD and buy a lot more dinar since his rate has not changed in the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, now I just probablly bought 500 million more dinar with the previous cash in in Dubai. Does everyone understand what I am saying here. It has to all go at once. If it does not RV in the united states by the time I get my 500 million dinar from Ali, guess what I take my private plane back to the middle east and repeat the cycle. I turn my 500 million into 1.5 billion and call Ali on the way back from Dubai and say Ali this time lets get a little more..... Don't believe this other countries crap. Those people are pumpers to the max over there. IMF, Forex, and all the brokers across the world need to get paid on this to "get us out of this economic down turn" Love you all but I am so tired of seeing everyone get all excited over all of the pumpers. Here are the rumors that have come from the one web site. 1. Okie, Said last week that IMF was going to take over and we were going to cash in last week 2. Terry K said, the "live" rate was $5.27 and the CBI Rate was $6.18 and we were cashing in as soon as smaller counttries cashed in. 3. Topgunner says lots and lots of private jets are flying to the middle east to cash in while at the same time his buddy pumpers are saying you have to be a citizen from that country to cash in. Well if you have to be a citizen of that country why in the heck are people flying over there. 4. Okie said lastweek that Biden had everything wrapped up and it was a done deal. All of these rumors from these posters have been debunked. The real question should be to Ali, and the question should be this. "Ali, how much do you pay these pumpers to help your Dinar Sales?" Have a great day all Headed to the coast!

  9. No matter where you go on the Internet or what site you are on at the time, all is speculation no matter who it is, PD, DV or DD. We are all adults here, and some of us should become adults, over this matter, and we are responsible for our own actions. You have to take everything with a grain of salt. This thing might happen today, tomorrow, next week, Next month, or even Next year, or what the true rate will be, no one knows for sure, I personally believe and hope that we are very close to becoming wealthy. One thing I've learn since I live here in Las Vegas . Do not bring the rent money, the car payment, or your kid's college fund, to Las Vegas. They do not build these fancy casinos here in Las Vegas by giving money away. And the same goes for buying Iraqi dinars or putting them on reserves, be responsible for yourself and to your family. I suggest to, do not go underwater with your budget. And this is my opinion only as I stated before, we are all adults here and responsible for our own actions. We should not bash other sites of their opinion, and that’s all it is, just their opinions.

  10. This seems pretty convincing to me, but who knows....... I have a small team of people that I talk to on a daily basis. We bat around opinions and ideas, and try to make the most sensible agreements on what’s going on from day to day. I told “Exiled” a few days ago that I have all kinds of info that I never think to put out here, because I assume everyone knows what I know. This is one such piece. Keep in mind that this is strictly opinion that has been debated and has come down to common beliefs of a group of knowledgeable individuals who have done their share of research. Here goes. The current events that we are looking at are Kuwait and Jordan cashing in with a “pre-RV” situation. This IS NOT the RV in terms of the global cash-in. We believe what Iraq is doing is putting this out to the Iraqi surrounding areas initially, as Viper has stated on more than one occasion. This process of giving the “pre-RV” out to surrounding areas is strictly to bring in as many of those “000″ notes as they can. Take Kuwait, for example. The stipulation for their cash-in was “at least 1 Million IQD.” They know that the people holding a large sum of dinars will hit the bank and give up those “000″ notes, because these CITIZENS do not sit on the internet all day and dig up everything they can about the dinar. They simply know, “Hey, I can get a lot of money for this worthless currency now.” And probably never knew anything about the dinar going to revalue. Of course, the Kuwaiti Government knew, and that’s probably why they only offered .1 to the KWD. So, in the end, Kuwait buys back these IQD at a low rate, knowing that it will be much higher very soon. Now a large amount of “000″ notes are out of Kuwaiti citizens hands, and go to Kuwaiti reserves to wait for the actual RV. Of course, Kuwait would be the first to benefit from this, as Iraq “owes them a solid.” Where to next? To an obscure country that you don’t hear a whole lot from everyday. I’m sure that everyone has thought, “Why Jordan? They don’t play a big role in the process.” They actually do. They are a middle eastern country that holds IQD. They aren’t a “headlining” country, so Iraq thinks they can slip in and get the “000″ notes out, without a lot of publicity. Well, they are not taking into account the number of Americans that scour the internet like hawks, just looking for anything IQD. We found it. We called. Iraq wants this to be low key, and Jordan knows this. Now the Bank Manager at JIB is worried about catching heat from Iraq, because 500,000 Americans have made phone calls wanting to cash in. Of course the manager is going to clam up, and not want to say a word. Also, in Jordan there is a stipulation. Corporations and accounts of over 10 Million IQD. Thus pulling in a high amount of “000″ notes, at a rate lower than the actual RV. Next, they will move to another ME country. You may be asking, “Why are they doing the middle east first, and not the entire world?” The answer is this: Iraq has not been able to import or export for years. The middle eastern countries have been where they get a lot of their products and services from. So, over time, these countries have been acquiring IQD. With the exception of the US, the middle east is predominantly where the IQD has been distributed. Iraq wants as many of the “000″ notes out of circulation as they can get, and they want to do it quietly. If they came to the US first, it would not be quiet. What we’re seeing right now, is the implementation of the plan. They are doing what they’ve been saying they were going to do. You’ve seen the articles about plans to “remove the zeroes.” This, my friends is what they’ve been talking about. Again I say, this is a pre-RV situation that they are executing to pull the “000″ notes in mass quantities out of circulation. Once they pull the notes from corporation and the wealthy, they are left with a small amount of people to be cashing in at the RV rate, which in our opinion, will be higher than the offer at the “pre-RV” event. In dealing with how long it will take to get to the US, think about it this way. I’m pretty sure that Iraq knows that we know what’s going on right now. How many people do you think have put millions on reserve, just since the CC today? How long can Iraq afford to let Americans buy up dinar? When you have the answer to that question, you have the answer to the first question. Stay grounded, and know that the US could very well be next. Rest assured in this investment, because the currency that you paid roughly $1000 per million for is being traded at $3,400,000 per million somewhere in the world RIGHT NOW. As it has always been the thought in my mind, it is now reality–> “It’s not a question of ‘IF,’ it’s a question of ‘when.’”

  11. Seriously???? The very beginning of the post states it as opinion, so it should be very evident that there wouldn't be data to back it up. Would you like a tissue with your tears? I for one continue to enjoy the opinions and speculations of the more inventive.

  12. Well guys, I know whole-heartedly you will all bash me for posting this. I could care less about the (-)’s I am about to receive, all I want is for everyone to look at all SIDES of this investment. With everyone being so caught up with all the RV rumors lately I feel many of you have forgot this is an INVESTMENT and in no way a sure thing. The more independent digging I did, the worse it looked. I decided to recruit the help of a TRUE guru, a man who specializes in foreign exchange. He is Harvard educated and extremely knowledgeable. Whether or not anyone wants to listen to what he says is entirely out of my hands. What I can control though, is MY level of involvement. I wrote this man seeking his opinion on a few different questions, which I will copy and past below. Take this for what it is and nothing more: a different perspective from someone who lives this every day. To respect HIS privacy I will not post his name or email address. If this makes you think “I’m making it all up” then fine. All I know is I will go back to reality and not let this Dinar thing take up the amount of time in my life that it was. On the remote possibility that it happens, I’ll hear about it. If not, well it’s been a fun ride guys. Below you will find my email exchange with this man; I suppose to get the full idea you would have to start at the bottom and read up (MY first email to him, followed by response, etc, etc.). Believe what you will. I wish everyone good luck. ------ EMAIL RESPONSES COPIED BELOW------ From: (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2011 2:24 PM To: Ryan (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) Subject: RE: A few questions from a young USMC veteran Hi Ryan, Hey – strong work with the JPY trading! I am definitely not “in” with the IRS but you should know that currency gains get very favorable tax treatment compared to other kinds of investments (for future reference.) Holding the dinar as a long term investment is a good question. The assumption many people will make is that a currency’s value will rise relative to the dollar when an economy improves. This is actually not the case. Sometimes it will and sometimes it won’t – usually they don’t. It would not be in the best interest of the Iraqi government to allow their currency to appreciate (or deflate) and fortunately for them there are some very effective tools they can use to make sure its value doesn’t rise. If you are interested in making a bet on the Iraqi economy I would look for a business investment rather than a currency investment. Unlike the relationship between a stock and revenue or profits; currencies don’t have a positive relationship to GDP. Currency values are subject to supply of the currency (money printing) and interest/inflation rates. All of those things tend to go wayyyy up when an economy does well, and inflation and money-printing tend to be very bad for value against other currencies. I know it is quite popular to pick on a weak dollar these days in the press but the facts don’t support it. The dollar is relatively strong compared to other major currencies (the Chinese Yuan being an exception). That doesn’t mean the US has sound fiscal or monetary policy it just means that most of the other major systems are messed up as well. The dollar is about as valuable today versus global currencies as it has been over the last few decades. Slightly weaker but not by very much. If I had a gun to my head and I had to bet against either the US or the Iraqi currency it would be the Iraqi currency. Before you make your decision you have to separate the connection that some people make between a growing economy and a currency’s value. They are not positively correlated like many people think. I mentioned Turkey and Venezuela in my last note because they are classic examples of very robust, growing economies (with massive natural resources) that suffered from insane levels of inflation at the same time this decade. If you think there are prospects for oil or whatever in Iraq – great, buy a stock that will benefit from that or speculate in oil, because the dinar is just as likely to fall by 50% as gain by 50% as the economy grows. (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ryan (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2011 11:07 AM To: (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) Subject: RE: A few questions from a young USMC veteran Mr. (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY), I truly appreciate the time you took to answer my questions. I can only imagine how many emails you get daily requesting your opinion or advice. In all honesty, I didn’t expect a response; but as the old cliché goes… You never know until you ask. I have dabbled in currency investing before, though on a very small scale. While I was stationed in Japan I would play the day to day Yen (JPY) changes. I would go to the Base Exchange while the rate was hovering around ¥116 and exchange $2,000 or so. Then, I would stash that away and forget about it until the rates would drop to around ¥100. After that I would monitor the exchange rates closely; on more than one occasion I was able to turn roughly $300 or more profit. On a side note, I hope you’re not “in” with the IRS; as I’m unsure whether that would be considered capitol gains, which I never claimed. While not much, it was easy money and provided a couple “free” trips to Tokyo or Osaka (I was stationed in Iwakuni, just south of Hiroshima); which leads me to another question, if you don’t mind. Before I decide to frame the Dinar as a memento to my glamorous vacations in Iraq, I thought I should ask you; would holding the Dinar as a long term investment be worth it? I understand the predictability of a nation in Iraq’s volatile circumstance is miniscule. However, what would hold a nation with as much potential GDP as Iraq has from slowly appreciating against the Dollar? With the Dollar’s current weaknesses and the IMF’s SDR including the lowest Dollar percentage in a decade, what is stopping a(n) (hypothetically stable) Iraqi economy from gaining? Regarding potential GDP, while it has long been suspected that Iraq’s oil reserves are around 150 billion barrels, the majority of their prospective reserves are unexplored and not yet appraised. Being in hydrocarbon exploration gives me a slight insight to this. For example, Gulf Keystone (London based Exploration Company) recently announced a completed appraisal in the Kurdish regions of Iraq. They revealed the appraised prospect at up to 2.2 billion barrels, calling the resource “massive”. Again, I am NOT pinning my retirement on the outcome of a war tattered country located at the heart of one of the World’s most conflicted regions. I have my 401k, and a small college trust that went unused and continues to while I reap my G.I. benefits. The largest factor I foresee preventing the Dinar from slowly appreciating is the proposed Middle Eastern version of the Euro. However, I have very little knowledge on forex matters; I know only what I’ve been able to dig up these last two weeks. While majoring in engineering, the only economic class I’ve taken is…. None. Given that, my knowledge of economics is limited to what I’ve taught myself. So I’m quite positive there are factors in play regarding foreign economies that I am unaware of. While not surprised, I am definitely disappointed about the Dinar. With your permission, I would like to copy your previous response (contact info undisclosed of course) on a forum I frequent. However petty it may be, playing devil’s advocate always brings joy. Okay, so that’s only part true. Honestly, I’ve read people’s posts that were seriously hurting from overextending themselves in this Dinar scam. Instead of buying their kids presents, these people invested in Dinar. I read one post where a man has forgone his mortgage payment for three months, buying Dinar because he believed “gurus’ who stated that the revaluation has happened. I’ll most likely be heavily chastised for posting it but I could care less as it already goes inline with every other post I’ve made. If I can help ONE person think rationally about this “investment” then I feel I’ve already made a difference. I think the most painful (or pitiful) thing is the fact that the majority of the “gurus” use Christianity as a means to push Dinar. They claim this is God’s will and that God will return wealth to Christians; this of course, will be done through Iraq’s currency. I am not mocking religion here by any means, I’m Episcopalian and believe fully; I’m merely emphasizing the absurdity of their claims. To claim God will intervene on an Investment. They prey on people’s irrationality and misinformation. Like shady Three-card Monte hustlers the Dinar dealers use misdirection and slight of hand to systematically induce an information cascade geared at the would-be-investor. I of course cannot prove that the gurus are connected to the dealers but gut instinct tells me I’m correct. Since stumbling across your Dinar article (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) I have read many of your other writings. I thoroughly enjoy reading you and appreciate the information that you provide. Thanks, Ryan ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2011 8:35 PM To: Ryan (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) Subject: RE: A few questions from a young USMC veteran Hi Ryan, Its funny you would send me this note today. I just finished an interview with a reporter doing some background for an article on the same subject. Allow me to answer your questions directly…. Your instincts are correct, the dinar scam is still a scam. Currencies are not “revalued” like you read about online in the dinar forums. They are usually remonetized in much the same way that a reverse stock split is done. The purchasing power is not increased because the dinar is merely revalued with fewer zeroes. This has happened in a few other economies recently (Venezuela and Turkey to name two). For example, if you had 1,000 dinars today worth $1 (or whatever) and they revalued to be 1 Dinar to $1 dollar they would do that by exchanging your 1,000 dinars into 1 new dinar not 1,000 new dinars. As you can imagine, I have been in this business long enough to see several versions of this scam come and go. This one bothers me particularly because many of the victims are young men and women in the armed forces who are very intelligent but don’t have international currency trading experience. The scammers take advantage of that lack of knowledge and build on a common optimism about the eventual re-emergence of the Iraqi economy. All the past revaluation examples they use (German Mark, Kuwaiti Dinar, etc, etc,) didn’t happen the way they say. Revaluations are extremely disruptive; they don’t increase the total purchasing power of the currency you are holding; and usually result in an immediate price-shock of lower overall value. It is the last resort of an economy trying to get back on its feet. Based on your note you sound like a sincere, intelligent person who has bigger things going for them than this dinar stuff. I would suggest you stick the dinar back in your boxes as a souvenir and not worry about the scam. I have tried many times to talk friends out of the scam but once they decide to believe its like some kind of weird religion, so if you have a buddy bugging you about it I would just leave it alone. Otherwise, you just get sucked into the vortex of internet scammers and rumors. Bottom line: Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view) investing in the currency market is very boring but it does offer a moderate return to traders willing to take some risk. It is also very complicated because the big players (governments and central banks) hold all the aces so to speak, but it can be interesting if you ever want to learn more. I get a lot of letters like this and I usually don’t have time to reply; however, I your questions were coming from the right place and I wanted to support you with what I have to give. If you have specific questions I would be happy to either answer them for you or direct you to reliable sources for further research. Best wishes, (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Ryan (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) Sent: Friday, January 14, 2011 8:35 PM To: (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) Cc: (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) Subject: A few questions from a young USMC veteran Mr. (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY), To start off, I would like to say I appreciate your insight and knowledge in investment; specifically your depth of understanding in forex. Now, let me get to the point. I am 29 year old Marine Corps Veteran; currently I am enrolled in the University of Houston’s Mechanical Engineering program and work full time for a seismic oil and gas exploration company. My question is this: Do you still hold your belief regarding the strength (or weakness) of the Iraqi Dinar “investment”? (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY) a few years back and at first paid very close attention to it. After a few months of hype, I gave up on keeping abreast and stored the Dinar away, almost forgetting about it. It wasn’t until a family friend started talking about it that I even remembered my “stash”. With a little digging (and a WHOLE lot of sifting through the rubbish) I was able to come up with some interesting correlations between current events and a plausible (though most likely highly improbable) revaluation. I’m a fairly levelheaded individual; being such, I don’t allow myself to get wrapped up in pipe dreams regarding instant wealth or “guarantees” of 1000X returns. That is probably why I work 50+ hours a week and attend 15+ hours of class a semester. However, if there is a CHANCE that the outlook of the Dinar has changed, I would be extremely interested in hearing it. REAL news regarding the matter is darn near nonexistent. I attempt to sift through the rumors that are out there but have really only been able to come to one conclusion. You see, there are forums and “news” sites specifically aimed towards the Dinar. All of them contain Dinar “Gurus” who speak of “intel” they have that says the Dinar has/is revaluing RIGHT NOW. EVERY week it’s “the Dinar has revalued; you will be able to cash it in at your local bank by Monday”. My take on this, is that all these “Gurus” are actually compensated from the Dinar sellers for getting their followers amped into a buying frenzy. Everyone wants to buy just a little more before it revalues so their eminent wealth will be that much greater. Again, let me stress that I do not buy into this one bit. Although an actual investor’s perspective would be truly refreshing. I appreciate any response or insight you can give in this matter. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Ryan (REMOVED FOR PRIVACY)

  22. In the past few weeks we have had a number of rumors posted on various dinar sites that were promptly debunked by either boots on the ground or experts in their field. Feel free to add to this list as I'm sure there are many I've overlooked. These should serve as reminders to all of us not to believe the rumors. This is a speculative investment that you need to be prepared to hold long term. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose, and for God's sake don't buy dinar on reserve thinking that the RV will happen by the time the balance of your purchase comes due. The RV must happen by the end of 2010 - Debunked by the fact that 2011 is here and the rate is still 1170 IQD to 1 USD There are two prices on products in the stores in Iraq for pre and post-RV - Debunked by several people in Iraq and the failure to produce a simple photo verification Ships are docked in the Persian Gulf and waiting for the RV to be paid in dinar - Debunked by several people via websites tracking ships and people with experience in the import/export field CBI website is down in preparation of the RV despite the fact that the message says it is bandwidth related - Debunked by keepmwlknfny who found a chart showing the spike in bandwidth preceding the site going down Kuwait dinar cash in at DOHA - Debunked by Adam Montana via his contact at the CBI Jordan Islamic Bank cash in (JIB) - Debunked by digital11 and two other web developers as bad data from an unregistered currency converter program Dubai cash in - Debunked by several people like ricknsaudi who are over there or have family members there Military personnel told to turn in their dinars - debunked by (surprise!) military people in Iraq Bank of America mainframe down in preparation for RV - Debunked by tcjams, an expert in UNIX and disaster recovery for banks and similar institutions Lower denoms are now in circulation and in ATMs in Iraq - Debunked by the sources themselves who haven't been able to produce one photo of a lower denom for us Article 40 of Iraq's constitution requires an RV immediately following the formation of the GOI - Debunked by anybody who can read and has access to the Iraqi constitution Outside of Iraq you can only purchase dinar in the US - Debunked by people like sandy040 from Great Britain who did in fact purchase dinar somewhere else

  23. As you can not find alot of info out their about the Kuwait RI, I do beleive that when it happen it was under the radar, as well as the IQD will be to most of the world. The average person not invested in this will never even know what is going on. Now after cashing the news might show some new wealthy people runnig naked thru the streets. IMO>>>> New media will be low on this. Also beleive that for the Kuwait RI the countrys in the ME had 24 hours to cash in before the rest of the world.>>>>From my intel over the last several days, we have heard that the ME is cashing in, and I feel this to be true, several people have always said that it would RI/RV like the sun rises, from the east to the west. I believe it was also, said it would happen on a long weekend/Holiday. Banks are closed Monday, January 17 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Signs are starting to add up. I have been in this for 7 years, and want it done like everyone that is invested. So keep praying, stay grounded and as always we will wait. (Boy it has been a long 7 years.) Hopefully we are at the finish line. Thanks Dumbnar

  24. I hear what you're saying bigd1619, my comments are based purely from an IT standpoint based on the information that was presented in the article. Those kinds of circumstances happen all the time. The average person might have just called or went into a branch and not really thought much about online access issues and probably just blew it off. But as IQD investors, folks are so wired into the news that stories are taken and twisted beyond belief... Thanks Bro, I just couldn't take it anymore. The newbies are being led down the wrong path and it looked like it was getting outta control. Had to "pump" the brakes on'm for a minute. Wow the PUMPERS are on knocking down my +'s.... I LOVE IT!!!! LEAVE OUR NEWBIES ALONE!!!!!!!! BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE!!!!

  26. Okie Chat: 1/16/2011 Noon « on the GET Team: 1/16/2011 at Noon » [denisemason] Good morning OKIE_OIL_MAN! How are you? [OKIE_OIL_MAN] there are much info/intel today--I am trying to seperate it in order to try to make sense on how to explain it--it is all related to the global settlement having an effect on the r/v and its implications to us [OKIE_OIL_MAN] keep your shorts on--this is going to take a while--brain is on over-load [OKIE_OIL_MAN] there are no way to put the intel in a logical chain of progression--so i will give it in sound bites that seem random but are all inter-related and it is up to us to determine if there are a pattern to follow--i couldn't find it-the global settlement agreement while we are not suppose to know the details appears to be another brenton woods type of scenario (regarding globalization of currency's). This has been the hold-up to iraq not r/ving before now--this was finalized along with other things by biden--contrary to what we have been led to believe--the gov of iraq has not been formed completely until today (sunday in iraq) . The second reading of the budget occured today with no abstentions or dis-agreements.-the kurds only today got the agreed upon ministry positions.--part of biden's trip was to influence the gov to put restrictions on maliki because of his strong ties to shitte iranian influence.--the new ministry positions was voted on today and accepted by all of parliment. The budget was based on 73 d [OKIE_OIL_MAN] hit button too soon--will add [OKIE_OIL_MAN] 73 dollar oil. The budget has a projected surplus now instead of a short-fall.the recovery of the three zero currency is now in progress and is expected to be a world wide r/v very shortly--some goverments were cashing at the r/i rate waiting on the real r/v--the canadian news yesterday was not the fact of cashing in but the fact of being removed from the dinar from the ofac list--more as i remember [OKIE_OIL_MAN] as of now there has not been an in country (iraq) r/v but is being traded as such [gator4ever] I wouldnt worry too much if it doesnt show up on Forex today. [OKIE_OIL_MAN] gator-exactly--as to what their plan is--it's unfolding presently--it will become evident when they go international with their currency [OKIE_OIL_MAN] we're in un-chartered waters here and are waiting to see how they handle it from this point forward--looks very promising though--no delays no postponements--today was crucial and so will tomorrow be [OKIE_OIL_MAN] lets just see what happens tommorow and tuesday still looks good--you have been given details that superficially looks like a postponement but it is just info that may confuse the lesser mind--the big picture internationally looks excellent--no despair here [OKIE_OIL_MAN] i should not have confused you with details but wanted you to know how much is really involved in this multi-generational blessing blessing7] Thanks OKIE_OIL_MAN it looks like the game is on just have to let it play through.. [OKIE_OIL_MAN] there are far greater minds than ours that has a plan--we are just trying to figure out what that plan is [msjeta1] OKIE_OIL_MAN I bet most of which will be on a need to know basis only [OKIE_OIL_MAN] this is an international phenomoni that has no historical presidence to base projections on--we are at the mercy of the elements so to speak [stargate] 4. To put it another way, the World Global Settlements, including the US Dollar Refunding Project, are real. They are the instruments of change. They are part of a world wide re-distribution of wealth which includes some 20 countries revaluation [up and down] of their currency, which will become ####et-backed currency. Yes, this does include Iraq which is the cheapest of the lot and therefore had [to prevent unreasonable manipulation] to go first. The very latest information indicates that it has revalued, that it will be posted on Forex sites sometime on Sunday, and will be fully convertible in the US by Tuesday. [OKIE_OIL_MAN] stargate--very good post---kudos [OKIE_OIL_MAN] yes the budget has to be read third time but because of no discenion it is a moot point now--has nothing to do with the r/v moving forward [gator4ever] OKIE is the GOI formed? complete? [OKIE_OIL_MAN] gator-as of today officially [OKIE_OIL_MAN] am not answering phone--save your fingers the trouble [OKIE_OIL_MAN] i will re-state and make perfectly clear--you all are my family and i will treat you equally--i have no secrets to share on phone with others [OKIE_OIL_MAN] once again--read above--budget now a moot point [OKIE_OIL_MAN] looks like maliki got his come-uppence from biden last week---kudos to biden joseph11] OKIE_OIL_MAN You are a stright shooter my friend... No Wonder you shot down 5 Migs in Nam. [OKIE_OIL_MAN] joseph--credit for 3--2 probables--gun camera mal-function [msjeta1] OKIE_OIL_MAN could it be just superficial though? no real substance behind it in the long run? [OKIE_OIL_MAN] well--here come the doubters again--- IncreaseCap] OKIE_OIL_MAN appreciate what you share here God Bless you [OKIE_OIL_MAN] heres an ole expression you may not have heard in a while--we're in the cat bird seat [OKIE_OIL_MAN] all of bidens accompolishments will probably never be brought to light--in the future history books maybe--but not now-this is still in the working out stage-- [OKIE_OIL_MAN] mikev--198 years old--I saw moses smote the rock [OKIE_OIL_MAN] watch for Hillarious to go over there--- [OKIE_OIL_MAN] suebuilder--why don't you just sign off my dear [hanna] Didn't Shabibi say that as soon as the GOI was seated they would RV? [OKIE_OIL_MAN] hanna--thanks for remembering what so many on here has forgotten--kudos to you kid [OKIE_OIL_MAN] remember--this global settlement is still in play--its effect-we will have to see

  28. We put together a few of the key facts. We are interested in hearing from you if you have any contravening information. We always want to understand the other side of the argument... but so far, we haven't learned anything that sways our opinion. We would urge you to share these facts with anyone you care about. Here are the top seven factors we believe MUST lead to the end of the global U.S. dollar standard. The price of gold has gone up for 10 years in a row. We can't think of another market that's ever risen for 10 consecutive years. This is a historical anomaly, and it means something has gone badly wrong with the world's reserve currency (the U.S. dollar). Markets, if left to find their own equilibrium, will naturally fluctuate. Gold isn't fluctuating. Its steady move up proves something strange is happening to our money. Our government's deficits are out of control. The government's annual deficits now routinely surpass $1 trillion. The first $1 trillion deficit came in 2008 – and the government explained it away as the consequence of the financial crisis. But we racked up another $1 trillion deficit in 2009 and yet another in 2010. We'll have another in 2011 and so on. Our national debt has doubled since 2005. We've borrowed more money in the last five years than we had in the entire history of our government until then. This isn't sustainable. The government cannot increase tax revenues enough to cover our spending or repay our debts – ever. Our annual deficits have become completely unlinked to taxes. Total federal income taxes and corporate taxes generate $1.1 trillion a year in revenue, and we still ran a $1.3 trillion federal deficit last year. So even if we increased tax revenues by 100%, we would still have fallen $200 million short. This is totally unsustainable. Special-interest groups – particularly government unions – are looting our Treasury. Self-serving special interest groups have completely hijacked government spending. We now spend $200 billion a year on federal pensions. We're spending another $450 billion on welfare. This spending, combined with our defense spending ($700 billion), exceeds total federal tax revenue and leaves nothing to pay the $200 billion in interest on our debt, nothing to pay for actual government services (like roads), and nothing to pay towards the inevitable Social Security/Medicare shortfall. Remember… most voters do not pay taxes. It's politically impossible to reform this interest group-based spending. These people are robbing the Treasury. They will cause our currency and eventually our government itself to collapse. We're printing money just like the banana republics we used to mock. To support the government's runaway spending, the Federal Reserve is now continuously buying government debt. This process was commonly called "monetizing the debt" or, more simply, "printing money." The Fed creates new money to buy government bonds. This kind of Ponzi financing destroyed every previous experiment with paper money. If printing money were truly good for an economy, Zimbabwe would be the world's wealthiest country. Perhaps even more worrisome than the practice itself is the leadership of the Fed, which has alternately defended this practice and then denied using it. If the Fed continues this practice, it will eventually cause a global run on the dollar that will destroy the value of our currency overnight. We can't repay our debts. Total debt outstanding in the U.S. currently exceeds $55 trillion. That's $681,165 in debt per U.S. family. There is simply no way to repay (or even maintain) debt of this magnitude using the income of the average American family, which is slightly less than $50,000 per family. Interest alone on these debts (based on a 5% rate) would total $34,000 per family every year. Total debt in the U.S. economy is unsustainable and can't be financed without printing vast new sums of money. Shockingly, new debt issuance in the U.S. is soaring, with the lowest-quality debtors borrowing record amounts. Despite all the evidence that the U.S. economy carries far too much debt, both public and private debt issuance soared to new record levels in 2010. Overall, more than $3 trillion in new corporate debt was issued last year – the second record year in a row. And junk-bond issuance set a new, vastly higher record. In 2010, 509 speculative-grade corporate borrowers sold $287 billion worth of new debt. That compares to the previous record (2009) of $167 billion. Our economy has become so warped by its debt load, it cannot function without ever-larger amounts of debt. Anyone looking at these numbers must realize this is not safe and will not last long. Why No One Else Is Issuing These Warnings You may read these facts and ask, "Where are the ratings agencies? Why does a small newsletter based in Baltimore, Maryland seem to have the jump on everyone in Washington and most of the people in New York? Why aren't these facts in the newspaper? On the news at night? In magazines?" The answer: Government spending now makes up more than 40% of our economy. No big business can afford to offend its best customer. And most also depend on the government for protection from competition, in the form of licenses or permits. Take the ratings agencies. The SEC licenses them, and their business model depends on SEC regulations that require all new debt issues to be rated. The ratings agencies can't say anything bad about the government's finances because a single act of Congress could put them out of business immediately. Listen to what Standard & Poor's said recently about the federal government's deficits and the risk the U.S. faces of losing its world reserve currency status: The view of markets is that the U.S. will continue to benefit from the exorbitant privilege linked to the U.S. dollar... But that may change. We can't rule out changing the outlook... No triple-A rating is forever. It's clearly a warning. But it's not specific. And it was issued from an S&P employee in France. Believe me, all of the debt analysts know how much trouble America is really in... but they're not going to say anything. It's a game of "see no evil; hear no evil; speak no evil." Why? What's the point of everyone keeping his mouth shut? The government believes the average American won't understand what's happening as the dollar collapses. When prices begin to explode higher (as they are already doing) the government will pin the blame on commodity producers, like oil companies or the big food conglomerates. No one will notice or care that prices for these commodities are set on global markets and none of these companies has anything close to monopoly pricing power. But the crowd will not care. The crowd will believe anything on the nightly news. NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox will all go along with the government's line – their broadcast licenses depend on it. And so, the game will continue. The middle class will be wiped out. The poor will get vastly poorer. And the rich – the folks who own plenty of assets to protect themselves from inflation – will get vastly richer. What could go wrong? Well, what about our creditors? Sooner or later our creditors will notice what's really happening. They won't care what Brian Williams or Katie Couric says. And eventually one of our major creditors – China or Japan – will demand some kind of compensation for the decline in the value of the dollar. Or else. If you're not out of the dollar by then, it will be difficult for you to maintain your wealth. The dollar will collapse almost overnight. This will happen. Today, no one believes it could. But our government and private debtors have no other way out. There's simply far too much debt to be financed. It must be inflated away. We know most of you simply can't believe this forecast. You can't imagine America could suffer the fate of a banana republic. You will look at our numbers. Then look again. You'll re-read our list four or five times. You might even double-check our numbers. (They're right.) But still... you'll tell yourself, something will change. In a few years, these numbers won't look so bad. Or perhaps you'll simply think, "These numbers are so bad and they foretell of such bad times that I simply don't want to think about them." People often struggle to imagine their lives changing in a profound way. So as a prelude to what's going to happen to the country as a whole... to help you prepare emotionally for what's going to happen... we give you the municipal financial crisis. And it goes on about 27 states going bankrupt in 2011 and Municipal bondholders being basically screwed and left with worthless paper.

  29. Ridiculous??? Really??? You gonna make me do it huh??? CHECK... The need for robust high-availability solutions High availability is a key component of Business Resiliency. A robust, highly available application infrastructure is fundamental in the capability to deliver required service level agreements. The objective behind implementing a high availability solution is to provide near-continuous application availability through both planned and unplanned outages. Business-critical applications are configured into a cluster, which typically involves at least two systems (or nodes); the cluster monitors the critical resources for changes that may indicate a failure, a pending failure or a possible configuration change. The cluster is monitored for health and changes to a configuration within the cluster must be made consistent across the cluster. IT industry professionals have a general understanding about what a high availability cluster should to do; the question to consider is: how well does a given solution approach do it. How much effort does it take to maintain cluster health, to conduct a failover operation or to integrate your application into the cluster? A modern high-availability solution not only provides all of the before mentioned solution elements, but it also participates within the IT production environment. The modern high-availability solution must coexist seamlessly with the operating system and infrastructure it is supporting. . LINK This type of solution is used by ALL companies!!!

  30. First of all I don't have the money to fly over there. Secondly, IF this is true, then all I have to do is wait a few days and it will be here. And if I did have the money to fly over there, I'd fly over there, cash in, then fly back as quick as a flash and buy more here before it did RV here. And no I am not anybody else. Just me. You can go to my history and see I don't pump, but I do believe this is going to be a blessing for all involved. And I, like many, need it yesterday, but will take it tomorrow or the next day, or the next, or the.......

  31. Currency Auctions Announcement No. (1814) The latest daily currency auction was held in the Central Bank of Iraq on the 16-JAN-2011. The results were as follows: DetailsNotesNumber of banks16 Auction price selling dinar / US$1170 Auction price buying dinar / US$----- Amount sold at auction price (US$)149,188,000 Amount purchased at Auction price (US$)----- Total offers for buying (US$)149,188,000 Total offers for selling (US$)----- Exchange rates Dollar's exchange rates / in Baghdad markets Spot Oil ... as you can see there was no sell-off on Friday but a rally ... Dated Brent closed at $98.11 ... I've enclosed a chart so that you can see what a wild ride oil has been ... but leaning to the high side (uncharacteristically). Spot Gold sold off over a 16 hour period ... another pic ... I know I'm very graph dependent this morning ... wanna' bet on my caffeine level? ... you got it! Zeroes ... no I'm not going to post another graphic ... really ... you guys ... but I will tell you that of the 149M (very middle ground) the cash portion was a paltry 668K (.448%). So I'm calling it a near Zero day. If you remember Friday I questioned whether or not there exists another mechanism in place that is keeping these numbers low. Scooter speaks to this a little in his chat post yesterday. It's a good read ... as he speculates on the GCC and other things ... I'm not going to spoil it for you ... "fresh air" ... lol Let's see Agreement on the remaining ministries this week ... we will see ... they didn't even discuss the interior and defense positions! Iraqis NEED billions for housing ... yah think?! Iraq SEEKS to build commercial maritime fleet ... billions again (at least hundreds of millions ... depends on the size ... you can spend a billion on a specialized hauler alone) BP hits oil production milestone ... I told you they were sandbagging numbers. Are you seeing a theme ... they need this as bad as we want it. Will Not Vote on the Federal Budget Should Continue To Be Violated ... Kurds still in control. If I were you I'd find Frank26's brief post yesterday ... Canada ... keep an eye on Dubai ... okay. Headed to church with my God-daughters. I'll check back in later.

  32. Only when you first get in. The pumpers are "lurking" constantly. As time permits, read the "news". That's where you will get your education on this investment. It can be misleading, and change at times, but the rumors can be heartbreaking if you don't know the ropes. STAY FOCUSED!!

  33. This is the 3rd post similar to this news I have read now and wanted to pass it on to you guys...... Just heard from my Brother that the international banking consultant that told us a couple weeks ago that the RV was supposed to take place has confirmed that US should see RV on Forex by Sun or Mon and cashin Tues. Says It was delayed but don’t think for one minute that the problems or the delays have been Iraq. It’s all about BIG MONEY! B of A mainframe was down 12 hrs on Fri getting prepared. 20 countries to RV up or down at same time. Rate to be 3+ to 5+ The info floating around about the Global Settlements is correct. It’s all coming together…..

  34. Ok. I've done some of my own research. And this is how I piece this together. My friend calls me and says her friend tells her about two friends cashing out in Dubai. Her friend then emails her the info I put up on page 4. I have just gone over to KTF and seen those two things posted by two others under rumors. So I think her friend copied and pasted this and sent it to her and she was so excited over what she read she called her and told her "two people cashed in Dubai". And my friend took it as she was telling her that they were her two friends that did the cashing in. Now I am not saying it is not her two friends because I don't know who she knows. But definitely two different people posted that they know these people. So....take them as rumors and until we see the RV on FOREX, nothing is concrete. NOTHING!!!!!

  36. THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD....He will hear our prayers. This psalm has made me a humble person, and I take nothing for granted. "]The Lord is my shepherd: (That's relationship!) I shall not want (That's supply!) He maketh me to lie down in green pastures (That's Rest!) He leadeth me beside the sill waters (That's Refreshment!) He resstoreth my soul (thats Healing) He leadeth me the the paths of righteousness (That's guidance) For His name's sake (that's purpose") Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, (that's testing) I will fear no evil (that;s protection) For Thou art with me, (that's faithfulness) Thy rod and staff they comfort me (that's discipline) Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies (That's Hope) Thou annointest my head with oil, (that's consecration) My cup runneth over (that's abundance") Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me ll the days of my life, (that's blessing) And I will dwell in the house of the LORD (that's security) Forever (that's eternity)

  41. Bradley, welcome to the Vets where everything is vetted in manner similar to our political system. There are 2 sides here and if you tilt one way, you will be hammered. Also, if you ask to many questions that others think they are beyond, they will hammer you to. Then there is the side of those that are always happy and positive. Nothing wrong with that but I feel this should be a place for discussion without personal attacks. Be careful, you can find yourself playing into things that you don's normally do. As for your post, I will be honest, I did not read it all because I got to a point that you can catch up on whats going on here by reading in depth past and current posts. (A lot of the. Go back to 12-1-10 posts and get caught up. You will answer a ton of questions doing this. Then you will get some respect form those that are critical here. Frankly, I welcome you on to the ride!!! Be Blessed

  45. This sounds like one of the dumbest rumors yet. Imagine how many naive people are ordering more Dinars based simply on these Kuwait, Jordan and Dubai "Rumors" and the speculation they're causing. Now, multiply that by THOUSANDS if not millions more purchases if there was any truth to them and evidence to back them up. The "actual" RV amount would have to be many times the amount being paid out to "bring in large notes" to even break even, let alone be profitable. The damage done by the speculation caused would be far greater to put it mildly. If it happens, it will be simultaneous, and we'll see it on forex and CBI first. This stuff is insane.

  46. All I can say is, since nothing like this and of this magnitude has ever happened before. There is really no precedent for it. So I really don't know the rules or how they are playing the game. I just know I am in it. and Happy to be, no matter how long it takes. And please don't buy any more dinars because of this post. It is NOT a verified FACT. It is a RUMOR. For all we know this may not RV for months. But it sure is fun following it all. Seems to me things are happening fast and furious though.

  47. what did not happen? Her phone call? Or her friend calling her? Or her finding out from her friends they cashed in? Or maybe this whole post didn't happen? LOL. Thank you Frank for your insightful comment. Blessings upon you.

  48. I agree. I can't tell you how many times good people have relayed information from people they trust only to get burned. Ask keepmwlknfny or sladrian or kevindking or CinMike ...... etc. Still I hope keylime is right. I'm ready to start my world tour.

  49. In regards to Kuwait, it seemed to be a quiet event...do not expect the iraqi event to be as quiet because of the sheer amount of speculation now happening and going on for at least 7 years since issue of their new notes. Below is a quick review of the Kuwait RV, of course one can find some more details, but it was relatively very quiet and life went on, although some indeed were millionaires, how many I wonder are still doing well? Brief Kuwait RV info link There are some problems in current situation and yet it has potential to be certainly historical far surpassing Kuwait experience...yet within this there are some questions that go unanswered. For instance...Kuwait was not at all near the sad shape that iraq is/was/still is so this is nothing that will likely unfold with swiftness as we all found out. These details may show that iraq will RV at a lower level initially...but to think it will go straight to near par with KWD and in exact fashion could be stretching things a bit...but it WILL eventually RV, as long as Iraq is able to squelch potential uprisings, etc. My opinion is simply this and I will be brief and miss a lot of points: When an official RV occurs, do not at all think it will be the "end" of the worlds problems just because we here in the west think the only solution to all our troubles is to throw money at them....this has proven to be absolutely false. There will be a time of lessening stress for many areas.... but we can never lose sight of the fact that the middle east can be a powder keg that will not change because of a countries RV. The same elements exist, they are not removed by an RV. My take is a short time period of stability returns, certainly...but the outcome over a period of say 12 -24 months may be very disappointing because this RV cannot stop the onslaught of crumbling nations, it will not end financial abuse and mismanagement, those only end when the criminal element is removed from the system. To date, this has not been done, why expect it to be done after some kind of large influx of Trillions into the same system? Why does anyone think the FDIC lifted its limits? Whatever conclusion one comes to, remember it is only for how long? 2 years...ending Dec. 2012 as far as I know, and only for non-interest bearing accounts, keep that in mind. So an RV is a good thing for a limited amount of people and time. it will prove though for Iraq, another set of problems being faced within the country and possible threats to individuals within the GOI, Maliki and others being targeted as time goes on. In short, their problems are far from over, I do not care how many contracts they have, and their wealth, etc, great as it is...this in itself does not stop fighting and power grabs, in fact over time it may actually increase the INTERNAL problems IF Iraq does not get this right from the start. Even if they DO, does it remove the growing threats in the future? We are simply dealing with more than just thinking that larger amounts of money will solve the worlds ills....not going to happen as long as the system remains the same...it is just another bubble to deal with down the road. To offer some sanity to my thoughts, let us look at TRILLIONS (minimal 12.3T so far but growing) that have already been thrown out into the system...globally...via our federal treasury...over 2 year period....how many problems have been TRULY solved? Where is the results we were promised? Where are the jobs and the return to "prosperity" promised by all the TV cheerleaders of wallstreet? Not found, because it was not the intent to do anything but provide liquidity, then banks used the near zero rate funds to invest in guaranteed treasuries, etc., making them billions and not at all serving anyone but their own interests, they once again pulled a fast one on the public. Why would this change, but for a short time even with an RV? Only ones that benefited from near zero rates so far is the 'system' and the ultra wealthy....it has not filtered down to main street, and good reason for that, because all that has been spent cannot create the necessary ingredients for growth....so will another batch of trillions do it? For how long? If we ignore these matters, in favor of only consuming our own wealth and gain after an official RV, (personal consumption only), we end up back at square one in a matter of time as it is evident few have learned a thing from the global mess that cannot just simply go away due to an RV. You do not remove the elements because more trillions come into the world economies. For sure it will help for awhile...but history shows we repeat and repeat the same mistakes. The problem is not a lack of money, it is a lack of fiscal responsibility, personal integrity, systemic integrity, and the insistence of rewarding systemic abuse and failures with yet more of the same tools to do it all over again, thus feeding the same elements. We are slowly learning there must be something greater and deeper in order to truly change for the better globally...but no amount of money can make this needed change because it is a collective matter of the heart...where our priorities are, and who it is, the factions that are fighting for power and control. Until these basest of human issues change, we are destined to repeat the same mistakes, because as far as I can tell having large amounts of money at ones disposal has been a complete failure at being able to change human nature. It remains volatile and self serving, and I suspect it will remain so even after an historic RV. I wish it were different, but here is the key...only God has the ability to change the human heart and mind, and turn our attention away from serving ourselves, and turn it towards having a revelation of purpose and the ability to "see" what we once were unable to comprehend. it is clear that religion itself has also utterly failed, as it is after all, just mans organization based upon tradition and the precepts of men and not after God in its purest form. Until a change of heart and attitude towards purpose, we are blind leaders of the blind...both still fall in the ditch no matter how much money they have. With that said, my sincerest best wishes to all of us. I hope for the day when the games stop, and we diligently seek Gods wisdom and get back to respect and taking responsibility for our actions, in the spirit of meekness and gentleness, desiring the good of others as much as the good for ourselves. All my best! Jim ---
