I am not a very political person. Even my own country's politics is something I barely and rarely pay much attention to. I know when the party in power does something with which I disagree and I vote for the local constuent, regardless of party, who will take my calls and do something when I ask for help. In actuality I know more about Iraqi politics, and politicians, than I do about my own. So ... On this forum I find myself in debt to those members who bring the news, items from various sources, copied, linked, translated where possible, and do so continually, every day, in a most dedicated effort for people who are not being paid or compensated for that effort. To those members who post the news of Iraq, I thank you most heartily !!!! Unfortunately, in most cases, I do not have more than a vague grasp of what the politics behind the news actually portends, for the people of Iraq, or for dinar investors. So ... I am also thankful for the members who read the news and take the time to comment. From their comments I am able to find out what the news means. I get the pro side, the con side, the confused segment and the sometimes the angry segment. It all works together to give me an overview of what the news means without my having to become some kind of political expert. I know a lot of people follow politics for enjoyment. I do not. I find nothing enjoyable about it and prefer to use up my last few brain cells on something I do enjoy more. So, to the posters of the news, and those who make comments on those posts ... THANK YOU ! Without you both I would be floundering here and not have the foggiest idea which way is up. smee2

NC deputy rules out early elections as no one will relinquish power 05/06/2011 21:52 Karbala, June 5 (AKnews) – Staging early elections in Iraq following the recent threats of withdrawal by a major parliamentary bloc from the government, is not probable, says a member of the National Coalition (NC) led by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. The statement of the NC’s Ahmed al-Abbasi came in response to the al-Iraqiya list’s announced plans to withdraw from the government and call for early elections. “Al-Iraqiya cannot call for early elections because they are part of the power-sharing government,” said al-Abbasi. The MP said that withdrawing from the national unity government would constitute a betrayal of the electorate who put them there in the first place. Al-Iraqiya accuses Maliki's bloc of not committing to an October 2010 power-sharing deal signed in Erbil which brought the feuding political parties together after an eight-month impasse over who would lead the government. The most prominent part of the deal was the establishment of a new body, the National Council for Strategic Policies (NCSP), to be headed by al-Iraqiya leader Ayad Allawi. Six months after the current government was formed, the body has yet to be formed. Al-Iraqiya, who came first in the March 2010 elections with a small margin of two seats ahead of Maliki’s bloc, have been accusing the NC of violating the terms of the Erbil accord. The NC however has referred to the renewed call for the formation of the NCSP as “Raising the dead” after Allawi relinquished claim to its leadership in March this year, saying that al-Iraqiya must now just forget about the new body. Maliki said earlier in the week that if the power-sharing government falls apart, they will form a majority government. http://www.aknews.com/en/aknews/4/244862/ Staging early elections in Iraq following the recent threats of withdrawal by a major parliamentary bloc from the government, is not probable,.........Al-Iraqiya cannot call for early elections because they are part of the power-sharing government.........The MP said that withdrawing from the national unity government would constitute a betrayal of the electorate who put them there in the first place........The most prominent part of the deal was the establishment of a new body, the National Council for Strategic Policies (NCSP), to be headed by al-Iraqiya leader Ayad Allawi............ Maliki said earlier in the week that if the power-sharing government falls apart, they will form a majority government...........See this is what will happen if allawi doesnt quit fighting every thing maliki tries to bring or do, as ive said over and over allawi can threaten all he wants but at the end of the day when its all said and done the rest of the gov and parl will not shut down maliki they love there jobs and to shut down maliki shuts them down and they all lose there jobs and have to start all over ..no one wants that but allawi, as maliki told the korean countries PM when he was sewing up that contract with korea to bring in goods an help in reconstruction...he said..if allawi keeps on in the end he will find himself lonely and with out a government to be a part of...so we see that if allawi doesnt give in and stop the stale mate hes been giving..they will hold a majority vote and it will be in favor of maliki...so the gov can finally be set the people will be givin hope that they really do have a gov and then they can begin to rebuild iraq and the lives of its people...all imo..BL ............ Iraq accepted 77% of human rights recommendations 6/5/2011 3:48 PM BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The Iraqi Minister of Human Rights Mohammed Shiya' Al-Sudani said that Iraq has accepted more than 77% of human rights recommendations which were submitted by member countries at the Human Rights Council. During the conference on these recommendation in Iraq, he added that the ministry submitted a report depicting the progress in the human rights in the country. He added that Iraq has accepted more than 77% of these recommendations. The minister pointed out that the ministry has laid down the first national plan to enhance human rights in the country. The three day conference will discuss the national plan " to inform the international community that Iraq is respecting human rights", as the minister said. UN Secretary General in Iraq Ed Melkert welcomed yesterday (Saturday) the consultative operation made by Iraq on the human rights plan. The conference is held on 5-7 June with the special support of UNAMI. http://en.aswataliraq.info/Default1.aspx?page=article_page&id=142957&l=1 This is a good thing for the people and it had to be done iraq has to be seen as a working democracy that cares about its people...june 5-7 is this conferance..kinda sad they have to be shown and told how to care and have compassion for there people, as they have been a barbaric country for there history over 2000 years, this is a first for them and there learning..theve been the way they are over 2000 years there in there infant stage of being civilized...go iraq...go rv ............ US forces will remain in Kirkuk, says Kirkuk governor 05/06/2011 19:49 Kirkuk, June 5 (AKnews) - Kirkuk governor Najmaddin Karim said on Sunday that US forces will stay in Kirkuk beyond the December 2011 deadline for their withdrawal set in a security agreement signed between Iraq and Washington in 2008. Currently, there are some 47,000 remaining US troops in Iraq, about a quarter of the number that were stationed here following the 2003 invasion. ”We have told the US officials that until article 140 of the Iraqi constitution is implemented, the US forces must stay in the disputed areas,” said Mr. Karim, “…and the US officials have given us guarantees that their forces will remain.” Article 140 of the Iraqi constitution outlines a three-stage process to resolving the disputes over areas contested by the Kurdistan Regional Government and the central government in Baghdad. The process involves a period of normalization – whereby the security environment is stabilized – followed by the restoration of the original demographic balance (which was altered by the former Iraqi regime, often at the expense of indigenous Kurds), and culminating with a referendum, which will enable local people to decide the constitutional status of these areas. Article 140 is mainly evoked in the case of the oil-rich province of Kirkuk, which remains the main source of tension between the Kurdistan capital, Erbil, and Baghdad. Mr. Karmi said that “terrorist” groups such as al-Qaeda, Ansar al-Sunnah and Naqshbandi pose a real threat to Kirkuk which is why the US forces need to stay in the province. The majority of ethnic groups in Kirkuk also agree that the US forces should stay in the disputed areas to prevent ethnic tensions from developing into conflicts. ”We do not mind the US force withdrawal from Iraq,” Kasrmi continued, “…but when the Kirkuk issue has been resolved, along with the consolidation of Kirkuk’s security services”. Elsewhere in Iraq however, opposition to the continued US presence in the country is widespread. Iraq’s anti-American Shia cleric, Moqtada al-Sadr has repeatedly threatened to step up “resistance” and mobilize his militia, the Mahdi Army, if the US troops fail to withdraw on schedule. At the end of last month, an unarmed Mahdi army, numbering thousands of uniformed militia, marched through the streets of Sadr City in Baghdad in a show of force, protesting the prolonged “occupation” of the US forces. Sadr’s political movement, the Sadrist Current, is one of the key components of the coalition that put the Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in power.

Hmmmm so per my private convo with drc when i asked so did maliki make a deal with the devil when he 1st went to iran when he was tryin to be pm back in novemeber 2010 did he make a deal with sadr to allow sadr back into iraq after maliki had had a bloody war with the mahdi army and sadr in 2008, when maliki took the iraqi army and whipped sadr an his armys tail sending sadr running and into exile where he fled to iran to protect him....and maliki needed majority votes to win over allawi in the elections he had to have the sadrist and the kurds to be able to have the majority over allawi, so he did imo go ask for sadrs help within the sadrist bloc which is sadr's and he promised him he could come back to iraq, and help with in the government, as sadr always wanted to be a man in power and throw his weight around within the government as weve seen him doing and protesting USA wanting to kick us out of iraq, and then a couple of weeks ago maliki sayin he wants clerics to play a bigger role in the gov, and then as we saw last week..sadr sayin he can and would concile allawi and maliki and thru HIM and his innititive bring about the forming over the government...which i kinda believe maliki will use sadr to get what he wants but in the end maliki is watching sadr and will put him in check after hes achieved all he wants from sadr he will then throw him under the bus and allow US troops to stay or extend them but he will use the saddrist blocs to win the majority vote and set the final part of the government...all this is imo... ...............

I've been involved with this investment for only a year, but have been involved with the church all my life. While there is much wisdom to be gained by applying scriptural principals to your life, I would have to say that combining a particular money making idea into the teachings of the church has resulted in disappointment, disillusionment, and even personal disaster in every case I have seen. The intentions of those promoting the investment or idea are usually good, but the problem lies in the fact that when you weave any investment into scripture, you unwittingly elevate the investment to spiritual or biblical levels. Bottom line, money is money. Having money may calm the nerves a little, and with it you can buy things, but having a good spiritual basis calms your spirit and sets you free! Mixing the two gives the lesser (money) way too much credit.

Apologies are like ****** and for someone to spout off about the green zone cash in and verification of this without showing proof and just saying trust me can keep his apology. There are too many people that believe in this and to have him give false hopes is dispicable. There is a BIG difference from "RUMOR" to "WE HAVE CONFIRMATION" so as far as I see it Frank, Okie, Terry "Blow Heart", Endorse, and the rest of the pumpers should take a long hard look in the mirror and have a heart to heart with themselves....

Maybe...not sure. But I do have a box full of medals and a wall full of awards....does that count?

1. I do not let anyone bad mouth or bash anyone on our forum and the members are of the caliber that they do not do that anyway. 2. IF Adam was being lied about or bashed on my forum not only would he be welcome to come on to my forum to correct those doing such, he would not only be welcome but expected. 3. If you think being truthfuil and not letting people spread lies is low class than so be it

June 6th, 2011 11:53 am · All,I, as all of you know, have struggled what to do with the “Rumors“ and “Doozies“ that fly around about our investment, and the section I’ve dedicated to such information for some time now. Candidly, I feel the crap information contained within the posts of those who’s information I allow on my site that is placed in those sections has undermined the credibility and professionalism of what I am trying to do here. As such, I’ve made a few rules and decisions pertaining to such information, the categories they belong to, and the authors of such ridiculous information. Here they are: The “Rumors“ and “Doozies“ categories will NO LONGER be highlighted within the middle column of the site. The information contained there doesn’t deserve such an honor. So, going forward, only my “Tidbits”, and the “Chats&Posts”, “News Articles”, “Member Info”, and “Forex Feeds” will be given the privilege to be placed at the forefront of information shared here on another site’s Tidbits. The “Rumors“ and “Doozies“ categories will remain on the site, as they are supposed “Dinar Info”, but they will only be found by clicking on the tabs at the top of the site. In other words, you need to be SEARCHING FOR IT if you want to know about it. Don’t think I am throwing it out there for you to read. Bottom line, it’s a side note for me to be aware of and nothing more. I’ve given way too many sites and their “pumpers” way too much exposure and much too big of a forum to grow their numbers through deception and rumor mongering. As such, though I can’t control what they post on their own sites, I CAN control what is shared on MY site. So, going forward, each poster in the Dinar-following world has 3 strikes. That means, if a person sharing info proclaims an RV is imminent 3 different times, and is wrong each time, they will NEVER be allowed on my site again. You will find some already, going forward, that will never be allowed here again. If their words come onto my site, it’s because one of my helpers did it accidentally (it definitely won’t be because of me), and as soon as I know about it, their words will be taken down. I may not be able to control what is said, but if people on other sites wish to have exposure here, then they better clean up the way they share their supposed information. It’s all in the “delivery”… state it as a fact, then I’m taking it as fact and you are accountable. Give me caveats and disclaimers and explanations about your theory or speculation, then I will take it in with appreciation as information for me to consider from you. So, there you have it… time to get real! Time to hold people accountable for their wild, unreserved, and irresponsible claims. I will no longer allow this site to be used by others to propagate their manipulative schemes.

didnt know where else to post this something every American needs to see New Bill (S.679) grants Obama power to be KING New Bill (S.679) grants Obama power to be KING While all of America is distracted and focused on the death of Osama bin Laden, our President and his minions have been fast at work laying the groundwork for S. 679: Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011 to speed through the Senate and then make its way into the House and then to the President to sign. Yes, Obama’s other hand is quickly forming into a dictatorial fist that is about to smash our Constitution. As you will recall, the beginning of the end of liberty in Rome commenced with Augustus Caesar who compromised the authority of the Senate through the force of arms and basically the Senate became a facade. America is poised with this proposed bill, to morph immediately from a Republic into an empire with the privileged eunuchs of the Senate as window dressing and a dictator – the first American Caesar – at the country’s helm. And leading the Socialist Progressive charge is elitist Chuck Schumer (D-NY). No big surprise there. Schumer is an elitist Marxist and a first class progressive who hates America almost as much as he loves power. He introduced S. 679 on March 30th, 2011. He was joined by a gaggle of progressives from the left and the right. This is something I have been warning Americans about for a long time. If we are to survive as a nation, we must rid ourselves of ALL progressives or our nation is doomed and freedom will be swept into the dustbin of history. Schumer’s esteemed list of constitutional traitors is as follows: * Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) * Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) * Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) * Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) * Sen. Thomas Carper (D-DE) * Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) * Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) * Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE) * Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) * Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) * Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) * Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) * Sen. John Reed (D-RI) * Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) * Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) From The Heritage Foundation, here is a succinct explanation of the bill: The bill reduces the number of presidential appointments that require the consent of the Senate and establishes within the executive branch a Working Group on Streamlining Paperwork for Executive Nominations. Individuals nominated to senior executive offices suffer slow and detailed background investigations and mounds of investigative paperwork before a President sends their nominations to the Senate. After nomination, many nominees suffer time-consuming inaction or time-consuming and excruciating action as the Senate proceeds (or does not) with consideration of the nomination. The sponsors of S. 679 have identified a valid problem, but proposed the wrong solution. Congress must not enact S. 679. In essence Obama plans to take on the powers to make appointments to high government office unilateraly without the approval of the American people..He wants to give the office of the President the sole power to appoint people to powerful controlling positions of his choosing within our government. Obama plans to be free to do this without the approval of the U.S. Senate or the American People....... Senate approval of such positions is mandated by the U.S. Constitution in Article II, Section 2 under the "Appointments Clause": … shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: This bill will do away with the checks and balances that separate an American form of government from those such as Venezuela and Brazil . Already we have power mongers such as Cass Sunstein our Regulatory Czar (more commonly known as the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and more aptly titled the Office of Government Propaganda) running amok across the US using agencies such as the EPA as a weapon of regulation and control. There is not a single area in our country that Sunstein does not have his claws sunk deep into. It should scare the crap out of all Americans, but all I hear are crickets and the Silence of Lambs as their capitulation seals our fate as surely as the thunderous applause of approval – so ends the American Republic. More from The Heritage Foundation: When the delegates of the states gathered in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787 and wrote the Constitution, they distributed the powers of the federal government among two Houses of Congress, a President, and a judiciary, and required in many cases that two of them work together to exercise a particular constitutional power. That separation of powers protects the liberties of the American people by preventing any one officer of the government from aggregating too much power. The Framers of the Constitution did not give the President the Regal power to appoint the senior officers of the government by himself without Senate consent . Instead, they allowed the President to name an individual for a senior office, but then required the President to obtain the Senate’s consent before appointing the individual to office. Thus, they required the cooperation of the President and the Senate to put someone in high office. I know Americans have not forgotten about Obama’s string of Czars. Czars that he was supposed to downsize or get rid of. Czars, which in my personal viewpoint, were and still are illegal under the Constitution. But progressives never go away, they just shift… As has done so many of Obama’s Czars. With this sweeping bill, over 200 positions will no longer require Senate approval. Obama will dictate who are his powerful lieutenants and who will control America. The Senate will merely be a sham to parrot Obama’s dictates. With this bill, checks and balances will be effectively nullified. What does that portend you say? One day, your right to own a gun will be gone, just regulated, not legislated away. Businesses will be nationalized even more than they are now. Heavy regulation will ensue concerning communications and the Internet. Many, many private businesses will whither and die. You will be told what and how much to eat – food and gas rationing will become the norm. Poverty and squalor will become equal for all as wealth is redistributed to other nations. If there are elections, they will be a joke and pointless. There will be a few powerful elite’s and then the masses. Guess which camp Liberty loving Americans will be in? Our best hope at this juncture is that this abomination (BILL S.689) will be stopped in the House. In the interim we must weed out the Socialist Progressives and we must win in 2012.

I am Phoenix. Who am I ? I am a former special operations soldier with the United States Army. I left the military to pursue a private career as a private contractor. At this time I am semi-retired. I have lived a full, rewarding and very interesting life both privately and professionally. I have been invested in currencies on and off a few times in the past 25 yrs and currently hold positions in 5 currencies and 2 precious metals. I have been on a few forums over the years as have most persons reading this right now. At this time I am the owner of a private forum and a private chat and also host a nightly Blog Talk Radio program. I am joined in my adventures by my better half who goes by the user name"Lakehouse" and Lakehouse is the owner and writer of the news blog "Going Global, East Meets West" I stand against as I always have any exploitation of the innocent. There are many people who are on these forums who think the concept of "redistribution of wealth" means the redistribution of your wealth to their pockets and I have always spoken out against such behavior. I have never made any money on any forum or any chat in any way and never will. I have never supported or promoted those who do nor never will. I have always had a firm stance and have always suggested that people should support their local bank and the United States banking system and pay all taxes when and as advised by the professional of their choice. Myself and Lakehouse have pointed out fraud and warned of cyber crime and Internet scams as they appeared on the forums and by doing so I have become the target of the very individuals who stand to make a profit off of the innocent investor. My stance has always been "Date and rate are classified" and that this is and has been a "Live and fluid situation" The false claims that I have been saying the "RV has happened" or of claiming dates is not only false but an overt attempt by the individuals mentioned above to discredit me in any what they can. Yes I have pointed out hot windows of opportunity for this to happen in the past as have many (Adam Montana included) but these windows were always pointed out as possibilities only based upon the current events of the times. I make clear and always make clear that my views are speculation based upon due diligence and news and are not from"intel" or inside information. I am also well known for calling BS when I see it. Recent forum background: I first went by the user name of "Secret Key". As "Secret Key I discovered something that exposed a serious weakness and danger in an investment that was and is still hot at this time and put forward the evidence of the potential problems for investors in same. As I made public this damning evidence in an attempt to warn the innocent investor I was attacked on line by the very individuals who were "pumping" said investment". (No surprise) Because I had come forward with this damning information that exposed the potential dangers to said "investment" (not the IQD) those who stood to profit from getting others into the investment went on a full attack to discredit any thing I may say. So...to me no big deal...the truth was the truth. After that "episode" I was invited to join a forum that was new but had no desire to what so ever but after much prompting by the forum owner said yes...BUT he (the forum owner) insisted that I not use the name "Secret Key" because of all of the consorted efforts at the time to discredit any thing I may say. So to appease the request of that forum owner I changed my name to "Ranger77" Why that name? Because I am a Ranger and I like the number 7 and 77 is twice as good! So...on we go. The next thing that happened was that forum owner was in contact with a currency dealer and was approached by said dealer to become partners and to host a forum for the dealer. This forum owner asked me on the phone my opinion on joining forces with a dealer and i was very forthcoming in telling that forum owner I felt it was a very bad idea to do so and list the reason why I thought so. The forum owner decided to join forces with the currency dealer for immediate economic gain and did so quickly. It was very apparent that I was not too happy with what he did and I stopped posting on his forum. The next thing I knew was the forum owner banned me from his forum and launched a huge attack on me in an attempt to discredit anything I may say because of his fear of me publicly speaking out on his position of being in the pocket of a currency dealer and my firm stance against any and all pumping of dinar or dinar sales. It is worthy to note that that forum owner went off the deep end in his efforts to discredit me not only on his forum but others and dedicate hundreds of man hours and much bandwidth to do so. (some funny stuff...very creative). So.....again no big deal....I could not have cared less. Next I was in touch with few people who wanted to start a forum of their own and they wanted me to also join...so again...I said yes. Now this time they came up with the idea that being a new forum everyone should have a new name just for fun. So that is what we all did...we all (including myself) selected new names...and of course the name I chose was...."Phoenix" Well that forum went along doing well for awhile until the "troll factor" kicked in and we began to have a few disruptive postings and problems (like are seen all over this forum) so we decided to open a smaller private chat for just a few of us. Long story short on that is the forum owners manipulated that situation into a way they could milk money out of people for a profit and I was not happy to see this. Soon after a situation came up where we had a dispute and I left the forum. In an attempt to save face they attempted to publicly accuse me of something I did not do but this effort failed. That effort to discredit me failed on their part because of my careful archiving of my e-mails, PMs, chat logs and telephone calls which I have done for years because of my former profession and position. The very people they attempted to discredit me with were simply presented with a small amount of the documentation, the truth was made known and that was the end of that. So after all of that I decided to open my own private forum and private chat which I did...and has been open for one year and ten months. The name of my forum is "Gimme Shelter" and we have a locked membership and accept no new members. We had an open membership for some time and began to have serious problems again Also as you know I host a nightly radio show on Blog Talk Radio every night at 11PM est. The show is called "Gimme Shelter Radio" and is a nightly 30 min. broadcast on current events and news. Why do I post here sometimes? Well even tho I have my own private forum and chat, I like most others read all sorts of places. A while back I noticed that there were quite a few newbies on this forum asking some basic questions and saw many times their questions go unanswered so I did a few postings to answer questions and a few for fun. To find my past post on this forum just do a search. Yes I said "Happy Trails" here in December and for many months did not post and would not have even posted today if it were not for the overt attempt to discredit me seen by the troll force in this thread and am only doing so to set the record straight not for me but for those who may not know the truth to the situation. Why is my forum private? Trolls...that's why. We had a situation where someone had come on to the forum in an effort to disrupt and they were effective to the point they caused some serious problems and cause the splitting of some friends by the telling of some lies and such and as taking false identity on chat and causing many problems so we shut down the forum to the public and just kept a small core of friends as members. We now have 80 members or so and it is a good, proactive positive place with zero problems. Our members are fun, intelligent and all in all a great group of folks with good intent and positive out looks. As can be seen in on many forums the Internet offers a veil of anonymity so persons who feel empowered because they feel they are hidden and use the opportunity to "act out" and vent their frustrations. Most of the time it is just that and people who feel frustrated just lash out but in some cases you have people who are "not well" to put it in a nice way. Many of these people suffer from alcohol and drug abuse and the frustration due to pressing personal situations in their lives fueled by substance abuse will result in some interesting post by these people on public forums.' Now for the most part this is nothing but innocent venting but it can lead to compulsive rants by these people almost bordering on madness in a consistent stalking like stance. I in fact have a few stalkers who follow me around attempting their best to discredit anything I may say...they are quite fanatical and sometimes fun to watch. As far as me being crazy? Dang right!~ They say you must be crazy to jump out of a perfectly good airplane with a parachute! Yes some of the topics I cover and some of my interest may be seen by many to be "crazy" or "out of the box" and that is just the way it is. The way I see it is if the former Navy Seal Jesse Ventura can ask the questions about so called "conspiracy theories" than so can the former Army Ranger "Phoenix". Don't like it? Then don't read it. So that's it. Be well!~ Phoenix Often imitated....never intimidated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hkh7_1hmlzw

Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to hold public hearings on the daily movement of the air at eight o'clock in the evening, the Minister presents report on their achievements and the obstacles encountered in their work during the Hundred Days, and future plans. This comes at a time when the Congress hailed the experiment, amid calls for revamp or to utilize them, especially since it promised to "start to realize reforms and extensive." A statement from the prime minister yesterday: "The routing al-Maliki, this comes with the imminent expiration of the term percent on set by the Prime Minister to evaluate the performance of the ministries and different state institutions and local governments, especially the service ministries that have a great prejudice to the interests and affairs of the citizens." The statement added that "The Prime Minister will submit his final report and presented to the Iraqi people to participate in the calendar, after the end of these meetings"The Secretary General of the Council of Ministers on the Keywords, said in a statement to delegates "morning," Tariq al-Araji: "The prime minister intends to take over the Minister clarify the achievements and actions undertaken by the ministries during the past period and transmitted directly to the citizens so that there is a general perception and the consequences can be read . and when will the minister knows that these things will be in contact with the masses, is supposed to be objective in the IPO. "It gave the Prime Minister, on 27 February last, the ministries and provincial administrations hundred days to evaluate their work and see how their success or failure, stressing that the ministries will see significant changes according to the results of the calendar.. In a related context, he praised the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Ali Alsjeri, "the achievements of the ministries within a percent on set by Maliki," while the whole parliamentarians that the deadline percent on that ends today is not sufficient to bring about radical changes in the general situation, but they are capable of evaluating the performance of each minister. He said MP Mohammed Chihod: "The draft percent on is the opposite of what is promoted him from the It is a project associated with the government and an end, but it is a project put forward by the Prime Minister to be evaluating the work of ministers, and each Minister them to shoulder its responsibilities before the government and the people." For his part, MP for the Kurdistan Alliance, Sheriff Soliman said, "Despite the short duration, but there is some evolution in the service sector", declaring that the prime minister would seek to bring significant changes and reforms and measures such as reducing fuel prices and the holding of conventions and feminine government, "in what she said MP for the Iraqi List, Flowers Sheikhly: "can be considered as time base for the start of incorrect or develop a specific plan or strategy and begin implementation." In the meantime, ruled out a source in the Office of the Adjutant General of the armed forces to impose a curfew on Friday. The source said the "morning": "no intention to impose a curfew. Things are going well and there is no control on the situation." I took out the Arabic for easier reading. Thanks! If he's speaking tonight, that's in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

I'm not sure why Frank apologized in the first place and even more disappointed that everyone is jumping on him. I heard the cc in it's entirety and here's what he said about Tony's apparently false rumor: "No disrespecting the news of soldiers cashing in at $5.25 from other sites – WE researched this news and I found nothing – my team checked and there was no banks open in Iraq and its an exaggeration in my opinion… Not one source of mine told me that anyone was cashing out – MY TEAM says NO and no disrespect that to the ones said cash out was happening Friday. Today the story changes to a voucher being given to the soldiers. Did they do something with their currency? Did they exchange? Odds are astronomical against that as the IMF would not let that happen… Lets pretends that one solider did that – it would be electronic money and the only way they would know his family that is if the soldiers tell them… Somewhere translation got lost in these stories… so I believe this is a mis-translation somewhere… Finance offices inside the base said JOE is what he heard> that can’t be true said Frank as the IMF would come in and say OH NO but…. things can go on behind closed doors – so I am not going to destroy the rumor just not on a Saturday or Friday not at $5.25 and not in the greenzone where the IMF can say no – but behind closed Doors? Who knows what can happen behind closed doors." So he simply found nothing to substantiate the claim. Later in the call Darline had contact with Tony. "Notes from Darline’s discussion from Tony at PTR – she read the following 4:27 PM Cagetrucker…3 days ago he was talking 60-90 days before an RV…but today he completely changed his thought process as he talked to his contact in the military in iraq…His boots on the ground said yes some had cashed in and the different units were given different times to cash in. His unit was told their turn was June 8 to 10 [4:42:20 PM] posted on PTR: Tell Frank that Tony says he is wrong and we will see who is right in the next 48hrs. I have told you guys on several calls that our info is ahead of the curve. You will seeeeeeeeeeeee [4:42:56 PM] also this by tony I just talked to some people who have just left Baghad, you are in for a bit of a surprise very soon. By the way, you need to find some people involved in the process, not just walking Frank states he appreciates all that PTR does and that Tony does want to share this info with him. Is not about who is right and that he will gladly thank Tony for this information if the RV truly does show up tomorrow. But he believes that the parliament still has some voting to do prior." Evidently after the cc several people posted that they were disappointed in Frank. For what I have no clue. All he did was call a cc at 4 on Sunday and give out a lot of good info. He timed it so that if he was wrong in debunking Tony and the Forex showed a rate change he would be on the air at the same time. Tony now says give him 48 hours to prove he's right. Well we'll see. As far as being disappointed? Sure we all wanted the rumor to be true and Frank to verify it. But the facts are the facts; so far at least. IMO Frank went way overboard in apologizing for nothing. And now he gets criticized for doing so? Come on there in a lot more in life to do w/o jumping on someone for an apology. Am I a Frank worshiper? No, but I do appreciate the info he gives. Over the last several he's given "ranges of time" when the RV could happen just like so many others. But never an exact date or a claim that it's already happened. For that I respect him. In time this deal will work out one way or another and it'll be over. Then we can all get back to our lives like before any of us heard of the IQD. As to Frank, I wouldn't wish he wouldn't cloak everything in a religious overcoat. On the other hand, he's a Christian and for that I respect him. Christians tend to go overboard in not wanting to offend. In this case Frank chose to apologize; needlessly IMO. My main criticism of Frank is the same I have for me. At one time in life we could both sing. Now I'm at the age where I don't buy green bananas and I for sure don't sing on the air; only around the house with my guitar singing 60's and 70's songs. Frank may at one time had a great voice and probably sang in public unfortunately now he can't sing a lick same as me. It seems to me that there's a whole lot more to be concerned about. How about moving on and not being so critical of others who are trying their best to give us good intel and info?

READ This is why Scooter says they want to do away with the FED... To: U.S. Congress LINK to Information This petition calls for the abolishment, by Congress of The Federal Reserve Act of 1913. To return all the rights and profits, from the creation of money to the rightful heirs, the citizens and the U.S. Government. It is outrageous that private banks and the FED can create our money and collect interest on it. If we must pay interest on monies created and loaned, let it be the United States of America that receives it, not some private interest. We have lost our freedom to the private banks that create money out of thin air and enslave the common man to a life of debt. If we are to be indebted let it be to our country and not the bankers. "The States should be applied to, to transfer the right of issuing circulating paper to Congress exclusively, in perpetuum." --Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:276 "[The] Bank of the United States... is one of the most deadly hostility existing, against the principles and form of our Constitution... An institution like this, penetrating by its branches every part of the Union, acting by command and in phalanx, may, in a critical moment, upset the government. I deem no government safe which is under the vassalage of any self-constituted authorities, or any other authority than that of the nation, or its regular functionaries. What an obstruction could not this bank of the United States, with all its branch banks, be in time of war! It might dictate to us the peace we should accept, or withdraw its aids. Ought we then to give further growth to an institution so powerful, so hostile?" --Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1803. ME 10:437 Following by Greg Hobbs What Is The Federal Reserve Bank? What is the Federal Reserve Bank (FED) and why do we have it? The FED is a central bank. Central banks are supposed to implement a country's fiscal policies. They monitor commercial banks to ensure that they maintain sufficient assets, like cash, so as to remain solvent and stable. Central banks also do business, such as currency exchanges and gold transactions, with other central banks. In theory, a central bank should be good for a country, and they might be if it wasn't for the fact that they are not owned or controlled by the government of the country they are serving. Private central banks, including our FED, operate not in the interest of the public good but for profit. There have been three central banks in our nation's history. The first two, while deceptive and fraudulent, pale in comparison to the scope and size of the fraud being perpetrated by our current FED. What they all have in common is an insidious practice known as "fractional banking." Fractional banking or fractional lending is the ability to create money from nothing, lend it to the government or someone else and charge interest to boot. The practice evolved before banks existed. Goldsmiths rented out space in their vaults to individuals and merchants for storage of their gold or silver. The goldsmiths gave these "depositors" a certificate that showed the amount of gold stored. These certificates were then used to conduct business. In time the goldsmiths noticed that the gold in their vaults was rarely withdrawn. Small amounts would move in and out but the large majority never moved. Sensing a profit opportunity, the goldsmiths issued double receipts for the gold, in effect creating money (certificates) from nothing and then lending those certificates (creating debt) to depositors and charging them interest as well. Since the certificates represented more gold than actually existed, the certificates were "fractionally" backed by gold. Eventually some of these vault operations were transformed into banks and the practice of fractional banking continued. Keep that fractional banking concept in mind as we examine our first central bank, the First Bank of the United States (BUS). It was created, after bitter dissent in the Congress, in 1791 and chartered for 20 years. A scam not unlike the current FED, the BUS used its control of the currency to defraud the public and establish a legal form of usury. This bank practiced fractional lending at a 10:1 rate, ten dollars of loans for each dollar they had on deposit. This misuse and abuse of their public charter continued for the entire 20 years of their existence. Public outrage over these abuses was such that the charter was not renewed and the bank ceased to exist in 1811. The war of 1812 left the country in economic chaos, seen by bankers as another opportunity for easy profits. They influenced Congress to charter the second central bank, the Second Bank of the United States (SBUS), in 1816. The SBUS was more expansive than the BUS. The SBUS sold franchises and literally doubled the number of banks in a short period of time. The country began to boom and move westward, which required money. Using fractional lending at the 10:1 rate, the central bank and their franchisees created the debt/money for the expansion. Things boomed for a while, then the banks decided to shut off the debt/money, citing the need to control inflation. This action on the part of the SBUS caused bankruptcies and foreclosures. The banks then took control of the assets that were used as security against the loans. Closely examine how the SBUS engineered this cycle of prosperity and depression. The central bank caused inflation by creating debt/money for loans and credit and making these funds readily available. The economy boomed. Then they used the inflation which they created as an excuse to shut off the loans/credit/money. The resulting shortage of cash caused the economy to falter or slow dramatically and large numbers of business and personal bankruptcies resulted. The central bank then seized the assets used as security for the loans. The wealth created by the borrowers during the boom was then transferred to the central bank during the bust. And you always wondered how the big guys ended up with all the marbles. Now, who do you think is responsible for all of the ups and downs in our economy over the last 85 years? Think about the depression of the late '20s and all through the '30s. The FED could have pumped lots of debt/money into the market to stimulate the economy and get the country back on track, but did they? No; in fact, they restricted the money supply quite severely. We all know the results that occurred from that action, don't we? Why would the FED do this? During that period asset values and stocks were at rock bottom prices. Who do you think was buying everything at 10 cents on the dollar? I believe that it is referred to as consolidating the wealth. How many times have they already done this in the last 85 years? Do you think they will do it again? Just as an aside at this point, look at today's economy. Markets are declining. Why? Because the FED has been very liberal with its debt/credit/money. The market was hyper inflated. Who creates inflation? The FED. How does the FED deal with inflation? They restrict the debt/credit/money. What happens when they do that? The market collapses. Several months back, after certain central banks said they would be selling large quantities of gold, the price of gold fell to a 25-year low of about $260 per ounce. The central banks then bought gold. After buying at the bottom, a group of 15 central banks announced that they would be restricting the amount of gold released into the market for the next five years. The price of gold went up $75.00 per ounce in just a few days. How many hundreds of billions of dollars did the central banks make with those two press releases? Gold is generally considered to be a hedge against more severe economic conditions. Do you think that the private banking families that own the FED are buying or selling equities at this time? (Remember: buy low, sell high.) How much money do you think these FED owners have made since they restricted the money supply at the top of this last current cycle? Alan Greenspan has said publicly on several occasions that he thinks the market is overvalued, or words to that effect. Just a hint that he will raise interest rates (restrict the money supply), and equity markets have a negative reaction. Governments and politicians do not rule central banks, central banks rule governments and politicians. President Andrew Jackson won the presidency in 1828 with the promise to end the national debt and eliminate the SBUS. During his second term President Jackson withdrew all government funds from the bank and on January 8, 1835, paid off the national debt. He is the only president in history to have this distinction. The charter of the SBUS expired in 1836. Without a central bank to manipulate the supply of money, the United States experienced unprecedented growth for 60 or 70 years, and the resulting wealth was too much for bankers to endure. They had to get back into the game. So, in 1910 Senator Nelson Aldrich, then Chairman of the National Monetary Commission, in collusion with representatives of the European central banks, devised a plan to pressure and deceive Congress into enacting legislation that would covertly establish a private central bank. This bank would assume control over the American economy by controlling the issuance of its money. After a huge public relations campaign, engineered by the foreign central banks, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was slipped through Congress during the Christmas recess, with many members of the Congress absent. President Woodrow Wilson, pressured by his political and financial backers, signed it on December 23, 1913. Recommend you all read “The Creature from Jekyll Island” by Edward Griffin, so you understand the FED and how it was created and by whom. The act created the Federal Reserve System, a name carefully selected and designed to deceive. "Federal" would lead one to believe that this is a government organization. "Reserve" would lead one to believe that the currency is being backed by gold and silver. "System" was used in lieu of the word "bank" so that one would not conclude that a new central bank had been created. In reality, the act created a private, for profit, central Banking Corporation owned by a cartel of private banks. Who owns the FED? The Rothschilds of London and Berlin; Lazard Brothers of Paris; Israel Moses Seif of Italy; Kuhn, Loeb and Warburg of Germany; and the Lehman Brothers, Goldman, Sachs and the Rockefeller families of New York. Did you know that the FED is the only for-profit corporation in America that is exempt from both federal and state taxes? The FED takes in about one trillion dollars per year tax free! The banking families listed above get all that money. Almost everyone thinks that the money they pay in taxes goes to the US Treasury to pay for the expenses of the government. Do you want to know where your tax dollars really go? If you look at the back of any check made payable to the IRS you will see that it has been endorsed as "Pay Any F.R.B. Branch or Gen. Depository for Credit U.S. Treas. This is in Payment of U.S. Oblig." Yes, that's right, every dime you pay in income taxes is given to those private banking families, commonly known as the FED, tax free. Like many of you, I had some difficulty with the concept of creating money from nothing. You may have heard the term "monetizing the debt," which is kind of the same thing. As an example, if the US Government wants to borrow $1 million ó the government does borrow every dollar it spends ó they go to the FED to borrow the money. The FED calls the Treasury and says print 10,000 Federal Reserve Notes (FRN) in units of one hundred dollars. The Treasury charges the FED 2.3 cents for each note, for a total of $230 for the 10,000 FRNs. The FED then lends the $1 million to the government at face value plus interest. To add insult to injury, the government has to create a bond for $1 million as security for the loan. And the rich get richer. The above was just an example, because in reality the FED does not even print the money; it's just a computer entry in their accounting system. To put this on a more personal level, let's use another example. Today's banks are members of the Federal Reserve Banking System. This membership makes it legal for them to create money from nothing and lend it to you. Today's banks, like the goldsmiths of old, realize that only a small fraction of the money deposited in their banks is ever actually withdrawn in the form of cash. Only about 3 or 4 percent of all the money that exists is in the form of currency. The rest of it is simply a computer entry. Let's say you're approved to borrow $10,000 to do some home improvements. You know that the bank didn't actually take $10,000 from its pile of cash and put it into your pile? They simply went to their computer and input an entry of $10,000 into your account. They created, from thin air, a debt, which you have to secure with an asset and repay with interest. The bank is allowed to create and lend as much debt as they want as long as they do not exceed the 10:1 ratio imposed by the FED. It sort of puts a new slant on how you view your friendly bank, doesn't it? How about those loan committees that scrutinize you with a microscope before approving the loan they created from thin air. What a hoot! They make it complex for a reason. They don't want you to understand what they are doing. People fear what they do not understand. You are easier to delude and control when you are ignorant and afraid. Now to put the frosting on this cake. When was the income tax created? If you guessed 1913, the same year that the FED was created, you get a gold star. Coincidence? What are the odds? If you are going to use the FED to create debt, who is going to repay that debt? The income tax was created to complete the illusion that real money had been lent and therefore real money had to be repaid. And you thought Houdini was good. So, what can be done? My father taught me that you should always stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand up alone. If "We the People" don't take some action now, there may come a time when "We the People" are no more. You should write a letter or send an email to each of your elected representatives. Many of our elected representatives do not understand the FED. Once informed they will not be able to plead ignorance and remain silent. This petition will be sent to all members of Congress, do your part and sign this petition. Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution specifically says that Congress is the only body that can "coin money and regulate the value thereof." The US Constitution has never been amended to allow anyone other than Congress to coin and regulate currency. Ask your representative, in light of that information, how it is possible for the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and the Federal Reserve Bank that it created, to be constitutional. Ask them why this private banking cartel is allowed to reap trillions of dollars in profits without paying taxes. Insist on an answer. Thomas Jefferson said, "If the America people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Jefferson saw it coming 150 years ago. The question is, "Can you now see what is in store for us if we allow the FED to continue controlling our country?" "The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he breaks, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime, and the punishment of his guilt."

hi Possum! Nice to see you. Anybody that asks for FACTS, LINKS, or PROOF in the rumors section made a wrong turn somewhere and needs to head for the "news" section. Everybody should know by now that Possum's intel is from the voices. I still Love you Possum and I hope the voices continue you bring you here! LOL :lol:

Ok ..I am gussing that you are trying to relate WMD's (Weapons of Mass Destruction) to our investment. I am also guessing that you are relating the two by, we relied on intel to gather informantion and it failed. Many assume that we did not find any WMD's in Iraq. I recently had to do a paper for school on this very subject. The U.S. forces found over 550 documented chemical weapons mostly siren gas and mustard gas. More importantly they also found 500 tons on Yellow Cake that when enriched can be used to make low grade nucular devices. This is all documented in U.N. reports. Not to mention the undocumented WMD's that were found. Anyone who knows someonw who served over there has stories about WMD's being found. .....sorry if my spelling and puncuation is off..it's early...haha Anyway my point is this while intel might not always be acurite, but some of it is correct. Hang tight one day soon hopefully this baby is gonna pay off. Just remember ......rumors are rumors and facts are facts!!!!

Who needs soap operas or reality shows when you have this!? If 48 hours pass with nothing will Tony admit he's wrong or will he have a clever cover up? Does Okie have sources or are they voices in his head? Is George Robinson greater than Harold Camping? Will Frank just turn the other cheek? All of this and more will be revealed in "Dinars of Our Lives" (Yes, I'm corny but this is all just getting so humorous to me.)

Hmmm... mistake, gaff? Or perhaps she simply meant that Revere's warning was putting the British on notice. Listen again. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt... she's doesn't need to impress me beyond what she's already accomplished, which is much more than anyone on here. Read her book Going Rogue... then comment further. She may not fit your ideal for a President... but she is an awesome person.

I'm not claiming Sarah Palin is going to be our next president, but I defy anyone to have the right answer when the press is your face 24/7. Bush and Barry have already failed dozens of times when put to the knowledge test, be it the english language or geography. Hell, I can't remember my own kids names half the time. I certainly wouldn't use Sarah's knowledge of Paul Revere to determine whether she is worthy of the presidency, any more than I would hold the fact that Barry thinks there are 57 states in the United States against him.

Navy Corpse-man? My bet is she has accomplished way more than you have, so what does that say for you? Yea, we need people in the White House that are capable of interacting with foreign governments without embarrassing the UNITED STATES!

Your intel guys obviously have been lying to you and you should have fired them long ago! I suggest you look up the word insanity! Anyway on behalf of myself and the entire dinar world one your fired! Go away please and stay there Your actually hurting people!

His reputation sux. Exactly WHAT is on the line?

This states he said something Monday evening, and says 1 hour ago on the site.... Iraq PM backs off firings on 100-day deadline By Mohamad Ali Harissi (AFP) – 1 hour ago BAGHDAD — A 100-day deadline set by Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki amid nationwide protests expires on Tuesday, though the premier has pulled back from a threat of major changes if ministers did not shape up. Though signs of progress are visible, from road construction projects to sewage system upgrades, little in the way of landmark laws have been passed, key issues remain unresolved and protests have already been called for Friday. Maliki had set the timetable on February 27, noting that reviews would be carried out based on ministerial performance over the ensuing 100 days and warning that "changes will be made" based on those assessments. But the day before the deadline was set to expire, he signaled no top politicians would be dismissed for poor performance, insisting his remarks had been misunderstood. "There are those who want to confuse the concept of this initiative," Maliki said in comments broadcast on Iraqiya state television Monday evening. "We think that they want to push people to force ministers to be accountable for a few things that naturally should take more time." Maliki issued the 100-day warning amid widespread protests across Iraq over poor basic services, high unemployment and rampant corruption, in some of the biggest rallies since the fall of dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003. At the time, it was seen as an effort to force ministers to make progress, after Iraq had already languished without a new government for more than nine months following March 2010 elections. But on Monday evening, Maliki said ministries were "accomplishing what they can accomplish". "The 100-day project created new initiatives to address short-term issues," he added, noting that meetings would be held from Tuesday, broadcast live on television, where ministers would explain what they had accomplished, what they would accomplish and what obstacles remained. "(Each) minister has a four-year plan and (they will explain) what is the track that we want to follow in the next 100 days," Maliki said. Protests have already been planned for Friday, with a group set up on social networking website Facebook called "Great Iraqi Revolution" drawing 35,000 members and urging supporters to take to the streets. Other similar groups drew thousands of users, though it was impossible to verify how many were inside Iraq. In response to the February rallies, the government re-routed $900 million originally earmarked for the purchase of F-16 fighter planes to food for the poor and started projects such as the roadworks and sewage repairs that showed visible change. It also reserved $400 million to distribute generator fuel so Iraqis will be able to power air conditioners over the brutally hot summer. Ministers are hoping that will head off demonstrations such as those that erupted from June to August last year across south Iraq. But key questions have not been addressed. These include the future status of the 45,000 US troops left in Iraq, the disputed oil-rich province of Kirkuk, and efforts to diversify Iraq's economy away from crude oil, which accounts for two-thirds of revenues but just one percent of jobs.

You've done your part by informing him (and others) as many of us have, almost out of a sense of obligation. If he wanted to be "convinced"... he'd have thanked you and asked for more information! Simply step away, remove your ego (from having to prove yourself), smile and move along. Just my suggestion.

My friend XXXX, How are you? I hope all is well. It's been four years since my arrival to the U.S. and I managed to bring the rest of my family here with me. I'm doing just fine. Life is hard out here but I'm hanging in there. The value of the Dinar is pretty much the same $1 =1170 IQD. However, the General manager of the Central Bank of Iraq did came with a program to drop 3 zeros from the actual value of the Dinar. The Iraq Parliament hasn't decided yet on the matter. It might take a while until they decide to proceed with the project. I will keep you up-to-date my good ol' friend. My regards to the family. Sincerely, Yasir Al Darraji Who Knows BIAP I spoke with Yasir by phone and while most Iraqi's are hopeful, no one knows when this puppy will pop. That and he is VERY in the know. So if he knows minimal, where do the Gurus fit in? Just thought I would share. pp

Guru';s work hard to come up with stories and rates that are far fetched. Alot of the stories are debunked. 1. Security forces are guarding the ATM's in baghdad No atms currently working, NO POWER 2. Donald Trump, George Bush in IRAQ yeah right. 3. There have been countless stories and fairy tales made up over the years from the dark haired middle eastern guy with a top hat who told his minister about the RV and he signed his napkin. I am sure it wasn't ABE Lincoln to the Airports were closed and the borders sealed BS horn exploding. alot and i am not going to throw all of the gurus in the same boat but alot of them spray so much BS it is not even funny. Some have just plain called an RV and later had to back track. Anyone can make up a story!!!!!

+1 for Scooter and +1 for Proteus...It is very refreshing to see those of us who may soon be able to accomplish great things for humanity with the RV are waking up and spreading info of REALITY in our world which is NOT taught in public schools. I guess that's why I'm so passionate about some of the subjects we discuss on this formum from time to time! Isn't it funny how we as a people, get lathargic after YEARS of allowing the "elite" and banksters to run over us for generations, and they profit off the backs of the "little people" Interesting to me, is how it goes in cycles, and eventually the people wake up, fix the problem ie..dismantled 2 central banks in this country and then blindly allow a 3rd one because they're part of a generation that doesn't remember. I'd encourage every family to spread the knowledge, read, read, read, so we can fix this and NEVER allow this sort of thing again. Just to add...Here is a copy of the bank manifesto of 1892 and another one, 42 years later, in 1934, describing the EXACT same scenario, and see how the "elite" and bankers really view the "average citizen, from whichever country, (doesn't matter to them). This was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to me when I first came across this! It sure sounded ERILY SIMILAR to the events happening in the last few years AGAIN. Hopefully, the sleeping giant is waking up!! THE BANKERS’ MANIFESTO OF 1892 "We [the bankers] must proceed with caution and guard every move made, for the lower order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion. Prudence will therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any organized resistance. The Farmers Alliance and Knights of Labor organizations in the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted men, and we must take immediate steps to control these organizations in our interest or disrupt them. At the coming Omaha Convention to be held July 4th [1892], our men must attend and direct its movement, or else there will be set on foot such antagonism to our designs as may require force to overcome. This at the present time would be premature. We are not yet ready for such a crisis. Capital must protect itself in every possible manner through combination [conspiracy] and legislation. The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When through the process of the law, the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of the government applied to a central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. History repeats itself in regular cycles. This truth is well known among our principal men who are engaged in forming an imperialism of the world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism. The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the Democratic Party, and the question of protection with the reciprocity must be forced to view through the Republican Party. By thus dividing voters, we can get them to expand their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the common herd. Thus, by discrete action, we can secure all that has been so generously planned and successfully accomplished."In order to warn Americans, the1892 Bankers’ Manifesto was revealed by US Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. from Minnesota before the US Congress sometime during his term of office between the years of 1907 and 1917. 42 YEARS LATER!!! THE BANKERS’ MANIFESTO OF 1934 "Capital must protect itself in every way, through combination and through legislation. Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law, the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of wealth, under control of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capital to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expand their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd. Thus by discrete action we can secure for ourselves what has been generally planned and successfully accomplished." The Bankers’ Manifesto ties in with the U.S. Senate Document No. 43, 73rd Congress, 1st Session (1934), which states: "The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State; individual so-called ‘ownership’ is only by virtue of Government, i.e., law, amounting to mere ‘user’ and use must be in acceptance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State." YOU THINK THE STRATEGY OF THE "ELITE" AND BANKSTERS HAS CHANGED? NOT!!! Please support those of us who are trying to help wake up the American citizens. Take back control of our country and support the brave men like Dr Ron Paul who understand the big picture!!! GooooooooooRV!!! Give us the chance to do REAL good and implement REAL change!

Our government has never been open and honest about anything. Most people in the US don't have any idea about how the banking system works let alone how the Fed functions and I am sure that there would be an uprising if they thought they could go into a bank and cash out and the bank said they ran out of money. Too many things we don't know here and probably never will. This country could be great again if the government worried about the people here and not every where else in the world. Charity begins at home.

I CAN POST CRAP ON HIS BRILLIANT MIS-SPEAKS ALL DAY LONG! And don't get me started on his tele-prompter... So, the pirates won't have any PRIVACY?

I disagree with you, to me there's nothing funnier than reading OKIE's posts, I know not to believe a word he says, I read it for comic relief. So I hope OKIE keeps on his clown suit and Keeps entertaining me. Thats just my opinion.

LOL you expect people not to react to someone boldly claiming the RV is going to hit every other day? Lets get real........ Okie fell on his head way to hard.

I would like to see that policy implemented on DinarVets.

Time to get real he says LOL. I find these gurus to be a disgusting example of man-kind.

Thanks for the post, hopefully he will say RV 3.89

Won't bash you at all but I will assume this is a comedy bit, or are you serious? So do you agree with the implementation of the UN's Agenda 21? How about Codex Alimentarius? You are ok with the plan for 80% depopulation and the RFID program to chip everyone? You like America but it will become part of the North American Union. I hope you might do more research on who these people really are, that will take you down many rabbit holes but once you see the links to the plans and the people I don't believe you will be accepting a NWO. What you see for security at the G20's for example is the future, not a pretty sight. These people are very intelligent but also very sick, evil people. Hope you can research some more, many good sources out there. (Also there are many people that are paid to scan the internet and post positive articles like that....hmm)

I'd rather read and "believe" our beloved Possum than Okie, TK, Enorrste, Gankans, SteveI, or a slew of any of the other so-called gurus out there. At least Possum means no harm and isn't trying to lead anyone down the wrong road. As for what their sheeples think of us because of Possum... they can go right ahead thinking it. I don't put much stock in the opinions of blind vapid morons.

Every time you speek? So maybe a 1,000 times? Maybe more? .But who's counting? jk

The only reason there are bashers is because there are post like this. I, like most others, didn't invest in this because of my religion or the Iraqi People. I invested because I wanted to make a profit. If it helps the Iraqi people then that would be a great side benefit. But so far with 41% uneployment and the electricity still not on for most of them in Iraq I doubt it's helped anybody. I'm a Christrian and I resent being judged and talked down to just because I doubt the validaty of most of the supposed inteligence and lies that are thrown around by most of the supposed 6+ year Gurus. When Adam sends me an email that says it's RV'd then I will believe.

Possum, the ringing in your ears (Tinnitus).

You missed the point. He doesn't have to do it; he wants to do it. Besides, the whole point of the "Verified Dinar Owner" badge is to let people know that the poster actually has a stake in this investment and that he or she is not just a troll that is posting opinions or garbage to stir up trouble.

OK. Everyone that is impressed raise your hand. Roadrunner

If they make 25K dinar=25Usd which is the rate what we purchased on, does'nt make sense. Their economy is booming in all fields right now be it Oil, agriculture, mobile, internet, media everything. A country's development reflects directly on their currency. When they start developing 10-12Million barrels per day, do you still think they will LOP, and not share their profits with Investors, that really sound insane to me and a silly govt with a silly decision. You need to know more abt how the world economy works out and it will not go the way you're predicting about. Also, it will go up the same way it came down, not it will take a U-turn in between and from there take a shortcut road, NO. if they had to do this, they would've done that way before. Think people.. Think, don't just listen to people who spread stuff. Logistics to me suggest they want people to sell off iraqi dinars so that they can minimize the no. of people into this investment. 1 more thing, The US introduced this investment in USA to make help iraq ith things and when they're helped big time, how can they ditch the investors by just doing an LOP. I have 10 reasons to support my point and you just say LOP (or) RD. Ofcourse there's a chance of RD(Minimal), but LOP, no way.. Michel!

Dear Sir, Good morning to you, our current rate is IQD1183/US$. With best regards Executive Secretary Al Handal Group cid:image001.jpg@01CC2367.225F3410 ------------------ I received this email from a bank earlier today in IRAQ. Seems there is no RV or RV at this time. Go RV

Sorry, but the premise that this email was generated by a foreigner is weak. Terms such as "I'm doing just fine", I'm hanging in there", "my good ol' friend" are not ones that most foreigners use.. It's just my opinion but I'm calling BS on your post.

As a student of psychology I have found one truth to be true. You attack that which threatens you. I sit and watch the liberals attack Palin without mercy. They call her dumb, stupid, and inexperienced. Yet they are relentless. All I know is that they are terrified of her for some reason. You only attack that which threatens you.

Obama misquotes Lincoln. So what, politicians misquote crap all the time. Joe Biden is a GAFFE MACHINE. If I pull all the mis-quotes and incorrect stories Biden makes up on the fly, I could fill this whole thread.

I predicted once we entered into June we'd start hearing "JULY" enter the conversations...as we enter each month the next month starts trickling into the posts and so it goes on and on and on and 8 months later it stops looking like intel and just looks like stupidity. This is how this thing stretches out....February was it, "WE ARE THERE!" ....and again in March with actual specific dates, then again in April....and May....now June...and it looks like "mid July' is now on the table...
