Ok, you're going to understand how I read Iraqi articles. LOL. Before I get into this Let me first say that I absolutely believe the CBI just announced the RV. So without further ado. ....... They begin by starting what the CBI policy has been up to now. "Objectives of monetary policies is to achieve economic growth and stability-reduce unemployment- stabilize prices- stabilize the exchange rate". Then they say they have "Achieved these goals by monetary policies". Going on. ... They say the bank (ORDER) enhances the mechanical moving of cash to INFLUENCE. .. the cash market. ... REQUIRES lifting the EXTERNAL value of the dinar. They then explain that this is to control inflation. (As a side note it has commonly been believed that rising inflation would be the catalyst) continuing. ... CBI .... strong signals for proportionate and DESIRABLE changes with the evolution time structure and. ...... interest rates. I'm thinking that this is saying they now have strong signals (OR REASON). And that is why they are changing the time structure because of interest rates. They go on to talk about the"BASIC"functions the bank uses to do this. ie.foreign reserves. Going on they basically said, "we've done this, though prices have not stabilized completely". AND HERE'S THE GOOD PART. They say, "in this context ( meaning considering everything we have just said) and the HIGH level of foreign exchange", ....."They have installed the exchange rate". In my not so humble opinion, LOL, This is directly referring to the NEW EXCHANGE RATE. They say this is"APPROPRIATE and REQUIRED at the current stage. It goes on considerably explaining that inflation is the reason. And that by doing this it will dedollarize the economy. ( only way to do that is to make the dinar just over one dollar) continuing. ... They want to, "transform the smaller currency from the larger currency"(that is not exactly the wording, but I did start off telling you that you'll see how I read Iraqi) LOL For me the end says it all, "the proposed project to delete the zeros from the I'D (FIRED)....good consideration of management". When you take in everything else we have gotten from this article I think it's a pretty safe bet that, FIRED, is like saying," FIRED FROM A CANNON". That's to say this decision has been made and is done. NEVER HAVE WE SEEN AN ARTICLE SUCH AS THIS FROM IRAQ. And at what 4am Baghdad time. SUDDENLY SUDDENLY SUDDENLY. If my understanding is wrong we will know in just a few hours. Because you don't put something like this out and wait for it. BELIEVE THAT.

Yesterday I was at the Villages' (an area north of Orlando full of retirees) Publix (our large food chain in Florida) buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Owen, the Wonder Dog and was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had an elephant? So because I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again.... I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and that the way that it works is, to load your pants pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete,(certified), so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I had stopped to pee on a fire hydrant and a car hit me. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Publix won't let me shop there anymore!!!!!!!! Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the World to think of crazy things to say. -

Actually we have seen this a few times before - I think I mentioned it in the Cash In Guide. You can't count on the CBI site, they are notorious for slow updates. The logic behind my estimate on the rate still stands strong. The only thing that will change it, in my eyes at this time, is the actual value of the USD. If our dollar dips to some crazy low value for some reason, then I will have to re-evaluate... but barring that, I'm very confident in my estimation of an RV between .10 to $1 Can I just blame it on Hillarious? I'll turn this bus around! Keep in mind where Allawi's political allegiance is, and you'll quickly understand why he says things like this. yaker, that's a great question. al-Qaeda is primarily aligned with the Sunnis, but not all Sunnis are aligned with al-Qaeda... it's a pretty complex situation. Until I can take it to the bank, I don't care what a website says. The CBI is always late - by the time you see $0.10 on that site, our VIP members will have already cashed in at a quarter. (My apologies to those of you that aren't VIP.)

I can quite honestly state that I have never seen any of these movies! Which means my conservative beliefs come from my family values based on biblical teachings and common sense as well as 70+ years of watching the stupidity of politicians. Also, a good solid reading of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

don't worry ........ he'll be on this like a grease monkey fly on BMW poo!

Hey everyone! I realize chat is a little later than usual this morning, I've had an INCREDIBLE set of meetings this morning, and as much as I'd like to let loose right now, I'm going to reserve my comments until the news is released on official channels. I have reason to believe that we will be seeing major HCL news in the next couple days. FINGERS CROSSED! You are right, HCL has been dragging on for some time now - I believe we are at the end of that road. And once the HCL is resolved, I believe we are on a homerun streak. This is a tricky one, because "publicly" Maliki has stated they will not take military action, but we all know that they can't simply turn a blind eye. Sausage McMuffins with Egg will be 68 cents before the Sunnis and Shiites agree on anything significant, but that matters not a hill of beans for the rate of the Iraqi Dinar. They may not like each other, but they all like money... and the value will continue to rise no matter how they label a breakfast sandwich. I think it's funny you put it that way: "If you were an odds maker" - because that's actually EXACTLY how I look at this whole thing. I'm a gambling person, and I constantly look at the odds. At the end of every conversation I have about the Iraqi Dinar, I think about one thing... "what are the odds that this currency will go UP this year?" I won't pretend to know how high the Iraqi Dinar will go up this year, but I am willing to bet ANYONE that it WILL go up in the year 2014. With that said, if you're on my side of this deal then you are on the winning side. I can't wait to see how much we win No news to report, sorry That's a great question, but keep in mind that any "official" budget that is passed can be revoked in a heartbeat... so the "budget" really means nothing. It's really just a formality. Maliki is a sock puppet for the PTB, and any opponents that might make it onto to big screen will be the same. (The board won't let me post the rest until someone else posts)

But I want my chat and I want it NOW! - Sorry I could not resist making fun of impatient people.

YES!!!! IT's MUCH WORSE THAN ANYTHING YOU'VE IMAGINED !!!! It's called Trans-Pacific Partnership TPP It's called the Bi-partisan FAST TRACKING of TPP And if would help tremendously if the folks organizing this would pull their heads out of the clouds and stop jousting with windmills...... and start focusing upon the laws and regulations that literally threaten our existence as a country. And if we don't all come together on the upcoming laws and regulations that really matter and genuinely threaten our very existence as a Constitutionally driven Republic...... Then all the militia stuff in the world won't matter, as International corporate interests will be driving the laws governing our lives in the very near future...... Then all the militia stuff in the world won't matter, as it will no longer be

Is'nt it nice to know that we are so endearing towards each other. We notice when someone has not been around. I dont post that much but Im always reading. Im aware of who's around and who's not. I miss reading a lot of the great people that used to post and are now long gone. And I also value very much the wonderful ones that have stuck around. And to those I say as our very special friend "Sandfly" would say "THANK YOU" for staying and supporting us till the end.......

Never said arming everyone isnt the answer. Did however say that alone will not work. I think one of the biggest problems is listening to people with no practical experience but a piece of paper that somehow makes them an expert. How many child psychologists have been murdered by their own kids? I spanked my kids a couple times, before either were 4 years old, and never had to do it again, because of the way the punishments were administered. They got far more love than anything else. Both of them have grown to be outstanding adults. They don't swear, drink, or do drugs. One is almost a Mechanical Engineer, and the other is on his way to being a Software Engineer. One is engaged to a former liberal, a child of progressives. Her degree is useless. More importantly, since being welcomed to the family, she has realized the deceptions her parents are under, and the delusion of socialism. No, Christianity is not necessary for clear thinking, however, following true Christianity, not any religion, has resulted in hundreds of millions of humans finding inner peace, and not even contemplating violence as an alternative. No need to get hostile, all I said was common sense is required, if you don't agree, then so be it.

"I shot to stop the threat - then reloaded and stopped it some more..."

Your close.. truth is he was so used to making up whatever "truth" suited him while in uniform, he had lost the ability to separate truth from fiction. Ever see a homeless drunk wandering the streets arguing with themselves? I think it's the same principle. That drunk has "evolved" to the point they are no longer able to contain the internal issues that causes them to drink, so also that retired cop was so used to his life of privilege, "being" the law, and not actually enforcing anything but their will on the general public. It is this same decrepit logic that is destroying America. Those in power only desire more power, at any cost, and have completely lost touch with the reason they were first given that power to begin with. It is the reason so many innocent people are in jail, or have a "criminal" record. I wonder, how many times did that cop abuse his authority during his career? From not paying for a meal, to false charges to justify brutality, it's all the same. Karma's a *****, I'll bet there are hundreds, if not thousands of people laughing right now, hoping that guy is sent to their cell block. Have to disagree with you on this. That cop lost it a long time ago, There used to be something called ethics, it went hand in hand with etiquette and respect. No, simply allowing everyone to carry loaded guns wont help, no without going back and teaching basic human respect. That has been lost in the progressives drive to eliminate God, morals, common sense, and critical thinking. However, taking everyone's guns, and forcing us to be subject to this cops buddies every whim that are still active, is forcing into mere subjects.

Let's talk Turkey....

hi sandstorm looks as if you are being your happy self this evening.

What happened to 6 and 7? 8) Jaws ~ because all politicians should take a dip in shark infested waters. GO RV, and NO BV

Here are some good ones. A few from some people you would not suspect. “An armed society is a polite society” – Robert A. Heinlein“A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.” -Sigmund Freud When the people fear their government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. – Thomas Jefferson “I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence.” – Mahatma Ghandi “Gun control has not worked in D.C. The only people who have guns are criminals. We have the strictest gun laws in the nation and one of the highest murder rates. It’s quicker to pull your Smith and Wesson than to dial 911 if you’re being robbed.” – Lieutenant Lowell Duckett, President of the Black Police Caucus, Special Assistant to the Washington, D.C. Police Chief He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. – Luke 22:36 We should not blame a gun itself for any crime or any acts of violence, any more than we can blame a pen for misspelling a word. – Senator Bennett (UT) It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government. – Thomas Paine. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have. – Barry Goldwater “Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.” – George Washington “If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.” – Dalai Lama (Seattle Times, 05-15-2001) “Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.” – Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi “Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” – George Orwell “A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves” – Edward R. Murrow “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened.” – Norman Thomas, American socialist “The tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” – Thomas Jefferson “A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition” – Rudyard Kipling “That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer’s cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.” – George Orwell While the bitter parties stifle every voice that warns of war, Every man should own a rifle and have cartridges in store! – Henry Lawson “The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life.” – Theodore Roosevelt “You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” – Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. – Cesare, Marquis of Beccaria, “On Crimes and Punishment” “25 States allow anyone to buy a gun, strap it on, and walk down the street with no permit of any kind: some say it’s crazy. However, four out of five US murders are committed in the other half of the country: so who’s crazy?” – Andrew Ford “Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.” – James Madison “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” – Thomas Jefferson “All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The Communist Party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.” – Chairman Mao “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government” – Thomas Jefferson “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” – Ben Franklin, 1759 “We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” – Ronald Reagan “The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates.” – Tacitus “A Liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn’t own.” – Unknown “When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both.” – James Dale Davidson, National Taxpayers Union “The constitution of the United States asserts that all power is inherent in the people, that they may exercise it by themselves, that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed!” – Thomas Jefferson “The Constitution shall never be construed… to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.” – Samuel Adams “The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.” – James Madison “It’s better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it” Christian Slater “There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution. But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism — government.” – Ronald Reagan If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so. – Thomas Jefferson “We would just go out and line up a bunch of cans and shoot with rifles, handguns and at times, submachine guns… When I was a kid it was a controlled atmosphere, we weren’t shooting at humans… we were shooting at cans and bottles mostly. I will most certainly take my kids out for target practice.” - Johnny Depp ” … the right to defend one’s home and one’s person when attacked has been guaranteed through the ages by common law.” – Martin Luther King

I wanted to share some information that I just got from some friends of mine. This talks about the 3 main antioxidants that are produced by our own bodies - and the ones most people really don't know anything about. These 3 are actually hundreds of times more powerful than any antioxidant you can get through your diet. This is take from an article written by Dr. Dave Carpenter, N.D., C. Ac. He is naturopathic doctor and an acupuncturist. He has studied at the University of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia and Central States College of Health Sciences in Columbus, Ohio. He is nationally board certified as a Naturopathic Medical Doctor and is a member of the Idaho Naturopathic Physicians Association and the International Association of Medical Acupuncturists. Dr. Carpenter has over 20 years of clinical experience and has served on several industry boards of directors, including the Idaho Association of Naturopathic Physicians, the Medical Acupuncturist Board and the International Iridology Practitioners Association. Glutathione, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase - these are all antioxidant enzymes produced naturally within the body. Studies show that as we age the cells produce less of these important enzymes, which then leads to many of the health challenges we experience as we age. Increasing their availability to the cell has vast implications. I would like to share with you some thoughts on what this means to you! Catalase Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme that helps the body convert hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, thus preventing the formation of carbon dioxide bubbles in the blood! Hydrogen peroxide is a naturally occurring but very destructive waste product of all oxygen-dependent organisms that is produced when fatty acids are converted to energy and also when white blood cells attack and kill bacteria. Catalase is also critical in breaking down potentially harmful toxins such as alcohol, phenol and formaldehyde and helps prevent hydrogen peroxide from converting to the potentially damaging hydroxyl radicals that can attack and mutate DNA. Catalase works closely with superoxide dismutase (which I’ll talk about later)to prevent free radical damage to the body. The SOD converts the dangerous superoxide radical to hydrogen peroxide, and we now know that catalase then turns that into water and oxygen. Catalase has to be one of the most efficient enzymes found in our cells. Every second each catalase enzyme is converting millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules into water and oxygen. Many people think that graying hair is just a normal sign of aging but research actually shows that it is caused by an excessive buildup of hydrogen peroxide in the body. (Science News. Science Daily 2009-02-24. See also Hitti M. 2.25.2009. “Why Hair Goes Gray.” Health News. Web MD. See also Wood JM, Decker H. February 2009. “Senile Hair Graying…” FASEB J. 23(7) 2065-75.) Hydrogen peroxide interferes with melanin, the pigment that colors our hair and skin. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Superoxide dismutase is an enzyme that repairs cells and reduces the damage done to them by superoxide, the most common free radical in the body. SOD is found in both the dermis and epidermis and is key to the production of fibroblasts or skin building cells. Studies have shown that SOD acts as both an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory in the body. SOD is currently in the spotlight of anti-aging researchers because we know that SOD levels fall off as we age, leading to more wrinkles and to precancerous cell changes. There are two types of SOD: copper/zinc SOD which protects the cells’ cytoplasm and manganese SOD which protects the mitochondria. Each type plays a different role in helping our cells stay healthy. Many researchers believe that abnormalities in the copper/zinc SOD may contribute to the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) which is better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. This is because without the SOD these people are not protected from superoxide which destroys their nerve cells. This is a disease which causes a deterioration of motor nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. SOD has also been used to treat arthritis, prostate problems, corneal ulcers, burn injuries, inflammatory diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, as well as long-term damage from exposure to smoke and radiation, and even to prevent side effects from cancer drugs. It is also being used to reduce facial wrinkles and scar tissue, heal wounds and burns, lighten dark skin (hyper-pigmentation) and protect skin against harmful UV rays. Glutathione Glutathione is fundamental to a wide range of metabolic and regulatory functions throughout the body. Glutathione is a tripeptide created in the body from the amino acids glutamine, cysteine and glycine. It is not only the body’s most important antioxidant but it is known to be one of the best detoxifiers in the body. Most health experts know that healthy levels of glutathione strengthen the body against heavy metal toxins. Glutathione is used to treat lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium poisoning. From my research I’ve learned that a deficiency in glutathione has been linked to a number of diseases including anemia, neuropathy, HIV/AIDS, cirrhosis, hepatitis, COPD, asthma, Crohn’s Disease, gastritis, duodenal ulcer, pancreatitis, heart attack, coronary artery disease, stroke, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, cystic fibrosis, cancer, seizure disorders and autism. It protects the skin, the lens of the eyes and the retina from radiation from the sun and is the best detoxifier the body has in its arsenal. In fact, autism researchers have found that 100% of the kids studied had “unusually low concentration of the antioxidant glutathione in their cells” while none of the normal kids showed this problem. (Science News. April 16, 2005. Biochemistry. “Blood Hints at Autism’s Source.”) Jill James, director of biochemical genetics at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, notes that “This pattern is consistent with an inability to detoxify poisons, especially heavy metals, such as mercury or lead. That’s because glutathione normally binds to heavy metals and the body then targets the molecular complex for elimination.” Summary Catalase, SOD and glutathione peroxidase are crucial to good human health and also have the potential to increase the human lifespan. These amazing enzymes are very vigilant in protecting our cells from the world we live in and even in protecting us from many of our bad habits. But science shows that as we age our cells' production of these amazing enzymes goes down.

Well I suppose this deserves a response from me. We see that the CBI had an auction today at the old rate and still hasn't updated the currency rates. We also see another article stating that"there is a false rumor being put out about deleting the zeros". I am thinking that this was the referred to rumor. I really don't know what to say. That someone would do such a thing is beyond me. Not just to us, but the Iraqi people also. Now we see articles telling us that Maliki sent the budget to parliament WITHOUT the Kurds approval. Even more confusing they say it because the Kurds won't pump 400,000 barrels a day through THEIR pipeline to Turkey. Strange how that yesterday the issue was that the Kurds wanted to pump oil through that pipeline without Baghdad's approval. I CAN'T imagine how they can do it but it seems that were now back doing the same bs as every other year. Let me apologize if some may have gotten there hopes high only to be treated like an Iraqi stepchild once again. I truly thought this was it. Someday we'll see something happen, until then we must watch the little kiddies play in their sandbox.

..........AND, that's why it's now called "Snow White** and the Seven Little People" **name under review

I know that evidence strongly suggest Maliki has done some very awful things, but lately it seems as if someone else is pulling the strings. Let's consider where we get our news about Iraq. From Iraqi media sources. Assuming that there media is used the same way ours is we must ask ourselves what is real? Remember that just yesterday Ban Ki Moon visited Maliki. We really don't know what was discussed except that it appeared both parties were happy afterwards. And yet you just found an article telling us that Maliki just closed down some newspapers. Are we to really think he would do something like that on the coattails of Moon's visit without having response from the U.N.? All I'm saying is that like Obummer I think Maliki is only a puppet. Doing exactly what the master makes him do. The Anbar situation was created for the sole purpose of showing the world that Iraq can provide security and stability. We know it's farcical, and we know that no nation can provide total security. Look what happened to us on 9/11. Still with every piece of news you and some others have put out in the last month (THANK YOU VERY MUCH) it seems clear to me that the PTB have decided to IMPLEMENT the next stage. I know I won't be able to sleep until the CBI updates. LOL.

Whether it be the egg or the chicken that comes first, I am not bothered anymore. Either way, an international economic impact will take place due to the fact that there will be increased investment in Iraq. It's a win-win no matter if this triggers a RV, has followed an RV/RD, or causes a float event. This is great news!

The Season for Liberty by Crowdsource Commentary - copyright 2013 by William T. Newton As the Polar Vortex of Liberalism descends upon warming alarmists of New York City (and the surrounding American megalopolises) some of us exult in the New Year and a new day for the rise of Liberty. When the misguided progressives come face to face with the error of their choice in leadership and futures, they will gravitate back into the direction of a democracy. It is the pendulum swing of politics and it seems that the uneducated people in the world cannot fathom even in the face of its constant occurrence (or circumstance). At least in a true democracy there exists a contrast with a dictatorship (or tyranny), focusing on opportunities for all “eligible” people to control their leaders and to oust them without the need for a revolution. When they arrive at this revelation then there may be a possibility of enrolling them in our real form of government, a Constitutional Republic! They might soon learn that democracy alone can't provide personal and political freedom unless the institutions of civil society are also present; and that can only come to fruition when the expectation of elements such as political pluralism; equality before the law; the right to petition elected officials for redress of grievances; due process; civil liberties; human rights; and elements of a civil society outside the government are protected (as well as defined) through the execution of a Constitutional republican form of government. Our Founders understood that after being dictated to by a monarchy. But let’s keep this simple! Real Freedom will never be realized until enrollees of the progressive philosophy accept personal responsibility and participate in that exercise beyond simply banking from their mailboxes. Unfortunately for them, our country and form of government was ‘declared’ as a Constitutional Republic and when those cold Muscovite winds of this winter‘s torment hemorrhages under the open collar of liberals it will present a nagging feeling of disappointment presented by an intrusive leviathan government which assaults their own sense of self-determination. My belief is that it will excite a change in their collective allegiance and that time is not far off. “America is Rising” (© William T. Newton). The Conservative tide is rising in America while the word on the lips of the ersatz entitled crowd is “equality”. Little have the Progressives grasped that equivalence will never be achieved under the jack-booted control of their ascribed philosophy. Extending unemployment for another 3 months on top of five years does not create jobs, but it does insure the down-spiral of hope, achievement and personal freedom, self-determination and liberation. Economic control over the populace has historically demonstrated permanence of failure and poverty. Four and a half years into the current administration’s failed policies and deconstruction of the Republic provides a condensed picture of a fruitless dictatorial philosophy that has gripped our nation since the Civil War. Imagine appointing three additional months of tax-payer payments to the unemployed after five years of government monetary misuse and failure that raising the minimum wage of unskilled (and undocumented) workers and compounding the current economic fiasco by throwing open the gates of immigration that these actions won’t hasten the demise of America, is beyond any basic elementary comprehension! This leaves no other conclusion except to believe that IS THE POINT….. It is “high” time for our American Spring! If the prevailing winds (or cannabis clouds) are any indication of society’s need for an intervention, accept the fact that other countries’ (not built upon a foundation of respect for Independence, Liberty and self-government) citizens have walked out of their front doors and joined with others to claim such rights have recognized this! Why not Americans? On May 16, 2014 every man, woman and child needs to set aside this one day in their life as if nothing else has ever mattered as much; clear the calendar, lock arms and march on Washington. And if the day requires replace our representatives with citizens who will uphold our Constitution and defend those principles upon which our Nation was conceived. This “winter of our discontent” must end now. Read your history which is full of such demonstrated outpourings of no confidence with governments. Most of the countries who have witnessed these protests received them from citizens who have not had the gratification of living in America but hold dear to those concepts which they perceive as our greatness. To rephrase William Shakespeare’s “Richard III”: ‘Now is the winter of our discontent - Made glorious spring by the rising of America.’ Unlike Richard whose final history has shown otherwise, our own American would-be-king’s history will caste a pale light upon him. As surely as Bartholdi's gigantic effigy “Lady Liberty” was originally intended as a monument to the principles of international antimonarchism, the relic of this time will be remembered by the glowing Sun of springtime in our Nation’s Capital announcing to the world that - America is Rising!

Frank has reason to believe that the website may be in the midst of being rebuilt. This morning there is a new addition to the website under the title of "Welcome to the Central Bank of Iraq" there is a new link called "Home Exchange Rates" but what is showing is a pdf file that is still short of the current date in my opinion. ************ cshessman wrote on January 15th, 2014, 8:26 am:Good morning Sager and Prudence,Just so you know I appreciate both of your opinions but now I would like to share one of my own. What I see as significant and a SERIOUSLY BIG CHANGE in course of their actions by posting this new link...in RED no doubt, and NOT posting the usual rates in the manner in which they have always done in the PAST that we are then looking at exactly THAT! This "appears" to be a SUMMARY of their PAST exchange rates. A finality of all their accounting lately, IMO. A final Report if you will and just making it available to pull up for anyone who finds need to look back into their PAST. Now, therefore, "IF" what I see is correct in my assumptions then the FOREST I see is their FUTURE!!! Meaning something NEW is coming! SOMETHING is ABOUT TO (x)CHANGE!!! ps. Their future is about to BURN BRIGHT as I think Knarf tripped and accidentally lit the fireworks and set the forest on fire. Wait I just woke up...I think that was something I Dreamed. BulldogFord65 :Good morning gentlemen -- just remember that they did take the site down completely this past weekend.... they went down entirely, and now it seems they are "accessorizing" (that's totally a chick thing...) the website.... can't wait to see the new shoes and purse with the new rate in it!! *************** aggiedad77 » January 15th, 2014, 8:48 am Good morning Family.....here is some of the Wednesday morning update of news from overnight: As mentioned earlier Iraq is participating in the International Donors Conference being sponsored by Kuwait. This conference is designed to provide aid to Syrians in the way of food, water, medicine, schools and refugees. You will see articles that indicate that the Parliamentary Finance Committee wants to carve out the 17% of the budget for Kurdistan because of their indication to pump oil to Turkey....IMO....this is smoke, I believe both parties have been told to kiss and make up. I believe...IMO...that the Kurds will get their 17% AND be able to flow the oil as planned. The last bit of news this morning is a change in the chi.iq home page. Under "Welcome to the Central Bank of Iraq" title, you now see in RED letters the link for "Home Exchange Rates." This takes you to a pdf document of over 600 pages, a poorly copied document at that. It seems to reflect the past history of the indicative rates, and I believe like Sager has pointed out that it is through the first six business days of 2014. IMO.....this is perhaps the first of other changes to occur, it is NOT the change(s) that we hope for...IMO. Continue to keep a close eye on the cbi.iq website for other changes. ************ Alan wrote on January 15th, 2014, 8:45 am:Can the cbi do an auction and change the exchange rate on the same day. Or would they have to start the day with a new rate. Or can they just do whatever they want. I guess what I'm asking is..... if we see an auction can we assume there will be no changein a rate for that day. aggiedad77: Good morning Alan, you are asking great questions for early in the morning. I believe....I'll add.....IMO....it is possible with today's technology that the CBI could indeed have an auction on a given day and also change the rate. In fact I believe that is highly likely as they will wait.....IMO....to the last nanosecond to make the change we are looking for. goldenboy: If you check off on history and who is pushing the button, at the moment they decide to RV. they will have to post auction results first. Cleaning out the old to bring out the new. ************ BulldogFord65: Hey my brother aggiedad77 ! First, thank you so very much for investing your time and your talents to provide us all with your astute analysis and summary of the news throughout the day. We appreciate your willingness to share your God-given talents with all of us. Thank you for all you do for this family so faithfully day after day. I am grateful to you, for you, and to be associated with you!! If I might add one small thought: Iraq is now the model of the latest and best technology for currency, smart cards and banking systems -- so why would they have to keep track of exchange rates on a manually-entered PDF document??? Unless of course the electronically-generated rate linked to the world's banking information superhighway has a different rate????? How nice of them to provide us this 697 pages of reference information....... IMO, this is "HUGE"!! ************** Maroneret22 wrote on January 15th, 2014, 8:28 am: Where can i go to see this?????, BulldogFord65: Good morning brother! CBI website home page, center column "What are you looking for" "home exchange rates" in red http://cbi.iq/ document link: http://cbi.iq/documents/Home%20exchange%20rates.pdf Wishing you a wonderfully blessed day,

For non-morning people, waking up can be the battle for your sanity. I thought this was rather amusing as it fits some people. Morning comes and I am vaguely aware of noise....I tune it out and try to go back to sleep to dream about good things. I hear the noise again....it's an annoying noise....It's like a loud buzzing. Once again, I turn over, tune it out and try to find dream land. And there it is again only this time it has a voice with it, oh its my wife. Somewhere in the back of my mind, a neon sign is flickering. It reads, "Just hit the snooze button maybe it will go away". This sounds like a peaceful agreement between me and my alarm clock if only it worked that way. Alarm working with me on this but my wife is up and sounding a battle cry like a drill sergeant. Get up, comes the command, you have laid there long enough and I am thinking yeah right you have no idea woman. By this time she is getting a little annoyed at me and her voice shows it. By this time I decide to open one eye and see what if I can cope. The alarm is afraid to say anything again. Seems I wasn't hitting the snooze button I was tapping her on the forehead. With one eye open, I said, "Why is your stupid head where the snooze button is supposed to be" I grumble as I painfully get out of bed and steal the blanket off the bed and wrap it around me to ward off the cold. As I head downstairs I hear my wife once again complaining, something about me being a jerk for stealing the blanket. As I enter the kitchen, I nearly trip to my death on the cat who is still sleeping blissfully, as I look closer not just blissfully but with a smirk. Makes me wonder if she is smirk because I have to go to work and earn money to feed her flea bitten carcass. Oh, I pick her up ever so gently and throw her out the back door and she is standing there looking at me like, "what'd I do". I stumble back across the kitchen to the bathroom and sit down on the toilet trying to sleep with one eye closed for sleep and one eye open to find my way. Finally I sit down, after a few minutes pass, still half asleep I wonder why no water is splashing. So I stand up to see that I still had the blanket wrapped around me like a burrito. Good thing I didn't strain to hard. Blanket unwrapped and ready to do business. After this appointment is finished I washed my hands and strolled back into the kitchen to make me some toast. I can't find the bread anywhere, while looking a was muttering a few unkind words. In walks my wife, fully dressed, wide eyed and says, "what are you muttering about". I said loudly someone lost the stupid bread, and she says, "Its on the shelf in the bread pantry. OMG, there it is can't let her know she was right, so I go on about my business of making toast. I didn't check the settings before I plunged the bread down and out it comes like a piece of black Lava rock, burnt to a crisp and shot up from the belly of hell. It also seems to be smirking at me in my state of attitude. I manage to find a pair of pants and head out to work. I get in my truck, but realize that it is nearly impossible to put on a pair of pants inside a truck. I step back out of the truck and finish pulling them up. Something told me to look across the way and there was the neighbor lady looking out the window grinning ever so big. I could just imagine her thoughts as she watched me in this silly maneuver. Finally with pants on and a rock hard piece of lava toast in my mouth, I'm able to get the truck rolling down the road. I make it to the coffee shop and take one last look at the lava toast before slinging it out the window. I turned around to watch some birds land and take one peck off the bread and fly off, they couldn't stand it either. Once inside of the coffee shop it smells so good. Dark roast coffee and a glazed donut, ahh, the breakfast of champions. As I walked out of the coffee shop the tone for the day was set, I was ready to take on the world. I even laughed at myself and the beginning of what started out as a day from hell. Thank God for coffee it has saved a many a day. Each new day is a blessing from God and we should realize it. As this story tells it would be true for a lot of people. Now if the morning was started with a prayer think things would fall into place and we wouldn't make so many mistakes for ourselves....Have a good day.

She acknowledged that, “The central bank made a request to remove the zeros, but our committee refuses such requests because they are not in the interest of Iraq’s market and also, it is hard to control currency exchange - serious work needs to be done for this.” So this sheds some light on their perception of the elusive and ambiguous "remove the zeros" issue. Not in the interest of the market...what could this mean? It seems they feel deletion will raise the deficit, given they sell oil in dollars. Something to consider. Others better versed in this should analyze this one. Two, "serious work needs to be done" beforehand. This points to a revaluation rather than and LOP in my opinion. The technical fix of an LOP does not require serious work involving years of preparation in banking, foreign trade, stability, Q cards, etc etc. It is a central bank technical fix that removes past inflation. "Serious work" must mean something else - what we are interested in. They would have LOP'd long ago if that were their intention.

Removing zeros doesn't concern us. We are waiting for Article 8.

And I highly doubt the GOI and parliment could ever agree on this with any kind expediency. Also confirms that there is no draft law in parliament about removing zeros from the Iraqi currency, which also means it would be required if the plan was to LOP I guess the CBI will have to find another way to raise the value!!!

You guys are really excited! But as in Iraq they lie, lie and then they lie more. Don't want to be a downer so best wishes on the possibility of an RV. It's just hard to believe anything out of there mouths anymore.

Maybe we already have, and maybe friendship and laughs are just more important to us than money at this stage in our lives.........

LGD >>>>I DON"T JUST LIKE HOW YOU THINK >>>>>>> I LOVE HOW YOU THINK and BOY DO I HOPE THAT YOU'RE CORRECT TONIGHT !!! BTW corrected a due --- ado...although I almost said OVERDUE

DinarStud - Jollywood thinks the world revolves around it and that any crap it puts out the rest of us hold our nose and swallow hard. Well - I've not seen the majority of those movies and for darned sure - I will never be and never have been swayed by any garbage they pump out. I was taught to think for myself - I've always walked to the beat of a different drum and not a liberal one either.

Prayer, coffee and a morning hug, is what keeps me in line. Miss one and no telling what I turn into. Have to agree with Heavy you guys are funny. Tankdude, LadyGrace maybe your coffee is not strong enough.

I want to grow up just like you TexasGranny Don't need no stinking movie to sway me either way. Only the weak minded will be swayed.

She loves the zeroes, she loves the zeroes not. C'mon exchange rate, be a good girl like this article says you should. Thanks for the article.

That's about all I got to say about that...

THE PSYCHIC SIDE OF ME SAYS SOMETHING IS GOING ON : IRAQ IS # 2 IN OIL EXPORTS : TIME FOR A WORLD-WIDE TRADEABLE CURRENCY

Ask Randallyn To Pass The Vodka Redbull's !

NYkevin. Believe me when I say I know exactly how you feel. As everyone knows I had to quit my job in the North Dakota oilfield for health reasons. Those reasons being so severe that my family and I had to move back to Kansas over the Thanksgiving holiday. A $5000 dollar expense at the worst time of the year. And you know how difficult it is to find a job in December. I am not the kind of man that would tell allot about his personal life in this forum, but as a man of the most high God and fighting every single day to keep the faith I can tell you it's been a long and hard battle. Never before in my life have I felt as much strength from God flowing through me. As you and everyone here knows I am not the man to keep my mouth shut. Indeed just ask Bumper and Adam, my mouth gets me in the most trouble. Even with God. So I began asking God to put a watch over my mouth that I may not sin against him. And to just do his will in my life. These prayers are answered everyday. But there's something more. We have all seen so many brothers and sisters in such dire needs, all desperately seeking God's will and his blessings. I sincerly believe That he has heard the prayers of his children and that we have humbled ourselves sufficiently. That is the biggest reason why I believe SUDDENLY is upon us. Let us never forget how tough things got and more importantly how much worse They can get. Remember how in our time of need God answered, and know that if we fall back into selfishness and pride his grace will be removed. Look up to his Glory and give him eternal praise for that were about to receive.

Not funny...

Sometimes I think if it wasn't for coffee I'd be doing 5-10 for assault....*lol*

Would we not make the nightly news......crazy new millionaires all dress like sixty's hippies in bikinis drunk, walking arm in arm down the strip in Vegas singing "we are the champions".
