  4. Tlar: "This Is The Crowning Document" - 07/28/2014 28 July 2014 .. Baghdad newspaper of integrity. The head of the National Alliance, the Alliance is the largest parliamentary bloc in the House, he was announced in the media and in the presence of all the coalition parties including the State of law coalition. Ibrahim Al-Jaafari said in a press statement that "the National Alliance is the largest parliamentary bloc, and not the State of law Coalition," and. Adding that he "is not named the largest parliamentary bloc during the first meeting of the Parliament", adding that "but we stood in front of the media, read a statement to that effect in the presence of all the symbols of the National Alliance, including the State of law." Tlar: I am posting this because of the importance of this. I am sorry if it is already posted here somewhere, but it is the crowning document being as al-Jaafrari is not just the head of the National Aliance but he is also part of the SOL. (State of Law) ~~~ The three blocks within the SOL, Jaafari's block, Badr block and the DAWA have all announced they no longer share the same position as the leadership of the SOL. They have by all definition defected as the SOL leadership continues to stand behind Maliki. Although the DAWA, Badr and Jaafari's blocks don't amount to many MP's, their leaders hold a certain amount of prestige with many members of the SOL, especially the new members (40). They are the crack in the SOL's ***** of armor. I would expect that were the NA vote held today, I feel it would be - Coalition comfortably over 100 and the SOL about 78 or less. The task now is to get everybody in the coalition to decide on one nominee. They have honed it down to three, two of which is Chalabi and Mahdi. I think we should have a uniform vote by Wednesday at the latest and it is possible that Jubouri will call them back into session before Friday of next week. tlar

  5. You Won’t Believe What This Son of Hamas Founder Said… July 28, 2014By Matthew Burke Mosab Hassan Yousef, whose father was a founding member of the terrorist Palestinian group, Hamas, bravely made shocking revelations to CNN on Thursday. Yousef, who has converted to Christianity knowing that the penalty under Islam for leaving the religion is “death,” spoke to CNN’s Don Lemon on Thursday, revealing inside information that those who naively support Hamas terrorists may be ignorant of. CNN’s Lemon points out in his first question that Yousef was groomed to take a leadership position in the Hamas terrorist organization, but that he has rejected the group that has indiscriminately showered Israel civilian areas with bombs. Mosab Hassan Yousef, author of “Son of Hamas,” told CNN’s Lemon that the terrorist group Hamas, which has been accused of using innocent citizens as human shields in its propaganda war, doing such atrocities as planting bombs in schools and hospitals, “doesn’t care about the lives of Palestinians; does not care about the lives about Israelis or Americans. They don’t care about their own lives,” he said. Yousef told Lemon, “They consider dying for the sake of their ideology a way of worship.” “How can you continue in that society?” Yousef asked. The Palestinian Hamas terrorist organization’s own mission statement and charter specifically calls for the elimination of Israel and all Jews, which leads Don Lemon to appropriately ask Yousef if it’s possible to negotiate or reach a peace agreement with someone who want to eliminate Jews from the face of the earth. Yousef responded that the Palestinian Hamas terrorist group won’t stop with Israel, but has bigger worldwide plans. Israel is known as the “Little Satan,” while the USA is known as the “Great Satan” among radical Muslim groups. Yousef told Lemon: “Hamas is not seeking coexistence and compromise. Hamas is seeking conquest and taking over. And by the way, the destruction of the State of Israel is not Hamas’s final destination. Hamas final destination is building the Islamic caliphate, which means an Islamic state under rubble of every other civilization.” Yousef bravely spoke knowing that the penalty for converting to Christianity from Islam is death. Yousef continued to say that, from the age of five, “they [Hamas] were preparing us” that without sheding innocent blood, it would be impossible to achieve an Islamic worldwide state.

  6. (235) deputies reject "the third term" By Khabaar Khaba ten forty-nine 07.27.2014 | Views: 28270 Brother - Baghdad MP for the National Alliance, Mohammed al-Tai, Sunday, about 235 deputies refuse to take on the leader of a coalition of state law, Nuri al-Maliki as prime minister for a third term. He said al-Tai in a press statement, seen by the Agency for News News (et) that "if we assume that the prime minister would run for prime minister a third time, there are 235 deputies under the dome of the House of Representatives refuse to do that," noting that "among those deputies coalition of citizen The Liberal. " He added that al-Tai, "the National Coalition and the National Alliance are committed to the guidance of the religious authority not to cling to positions and locations," adding that "it was to change all the faces in the presidency and parliament, and he remained prime minister." The National Reform Movement said, earlier on Sunday (July 27, 2014), that the National Alliance will comply with the invitation of the religious authority of the need to provide an acceptable candidate nationally to assume the post of prime minister, while pointing to the importance of adhering to constitutional deadlines set for the formation of the government. The differences are still going on within the National Alliance for the selection of the prime minister for the next government at a time, which is still state law clings Nouri al-Maliki as prime minister, the other blocks within the coalition of the Liberal and the citizen refuses this nomination, as well as the other blocks out of the coalition is still continuing in its refusal Cutter to take over as prime minister Nuri al-Maliki for the third session. http://khabaar.net/index.php/permalink/25980.html

  7. Your sadly mistaken. Nineveh province filed a law suit on him for the murdering of the protesters. And I believe the wife of one of Hashemi's body guards filed a law suit against him, and Hashemi has taken files to the hague. I mean I don't have exact details still in my mind, but you have been here long enough to remember them. What are you trying to say here? Maliki is being character assassinated? R U serious? His whole desperation trying to hang on to the 3rd term is to keep from being prosecuted. They don't want him, and the ones that do are scared of him or helped him do his dirty work.

  9. Here is how Hubby and I look at it..... If we sell and get back even half what we paid..OK great....we can take a cruise or something. It would be nice. BUT if it RV's at even a penny...we would be forever sorry. If we hold on and nothing ever happens...oh well ....not the worst thing that can happen...the money was spend years ago...and technically written off. One of the worst things to live with is regret. Something I work hard at never doing. Regret can cost you more than this dinar EVER will.

  10. Just did a quick little research on Wasik, and I'm surpised Forbes would even publish his stuff. He literally wrote the book on Keynesian investments, so he probably thinks the best way to make money as an investor, these days, is to ride the stock market up because the Fed is doing everything it can to prop up the DOW and S&P. He thinks global warming is going to be a $4 trillion industry because man is destroying the world. Besides all that, he's got his facts wrong in this piece. He says Kurdistan is on the verge of separation. The election of Masoum, a Talabani ally, is a direct signal that the Kurds aren't going anywhere any time soon. If Maliki gets re-elected, that may change, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen, and the Kurds have said they support anyone but Maliki. Sure, ISIS is in control in a few parts, but they are very small in number, and their success, so far, is solely attritutable to the local population's hatred of Maliki, and will dissipate as soon as Maliki goes. If Maliki stays, I would say this guy is right, and wouldn't have argued with him two months ago, but he's using old information to argue that Iraq is about to collapse. Oh, and remember all those articles about the dinar being undervalued, as stated by various Iraqi economists? Yeah, that, too.

  12. I suspect we will have the answer to that question within the next 8 weeks, IMHO. That reporter is pessimistic. I, on the other hand, am optimistic. I believe I will go with my gut instinct which rarely ever fails me! I've waited this long to see the outcome and things are definitely looking like Iraq will be around in the next 10 years if they keep moving forward without Maliki in the drivers seat. The man is so blinded by his own bloc's greed for power that he will single handedly insure the end of Iraq as we know it today. The funny thing is, even his own tribe is turning their back on him these days!!!

  13. As usual you are wrong Israel doesn’t play the victim card simply because they refuse to be victims. That’s why you and the rest of the zombie hoard hate them so much you just can’t stand it when anyone defends themselves. Hamas decides it can destroy Israel so they start their terror campaign of bombing and killing. But every time Israel kicks their butts and Hamas has to go running to the press and the UN to play the victim and little pukes like you start screaming why can’t Israel just lay down and die like they are supposed to. You think Israel is tough wait until you dummies turn your guns on the American people Israel is proof that man cannot change what is written by God. They will be there until the very end.

  16. The real issue is "why are we buying foreign oil when we should be pumping and supporting our own country?" It's time to be #1 in the world again in all facets. We have turned into a country of importers. If not for govt regulations, mountains of red tape, and huge business taxes we would still be leading in innovation, manufacturing and technology. We would not have all the government handouts and subsidies because jobs would be plentiful for those that want to work. We would be saying remember when we had a 17 trillion debt? Those who don't want to work ....Sorry, here is a cardboard sign.

  17. CNN. Broadcasting Ur Favorite Iraqi Soap Opera 'Days Of Our Lives' ! 7-24-14 Stryker: New President of Iraq. After a long day in Parliament Iraq has a new President and his name is Fuad Masum, a well respect Kurd with the vision of a National Non Sectarian Unity for Iraq. QUOTE: "The head of the House of Representatives, Salim al announced, on Thursday, winning candidate Kurdish blocs Fuad Masum, the post of President of the Republic after receiving a majority of votes." 15 Days Now To See A New Prime Minister ~~~ Now the Speaker of the House of Representatives calls on the new elected President to announce the largest bloc and for them to assign their nominee for Prime Minister. QUOTE: "We call on the president to assign Fuad Masum, the largest bloc in the parliament to form a government and choose a prime minister." QUOTE: "the constitutional period to choose a prime minister is 15 days after the selection of the president." Folks, that's 2 Iraqi Presidents down and 1 to go. Parliament will reconvene on the 5th of August to vote in a new Prime Minister. Will it be Maliki, Mahdi or Chalabi? I believe it will be Mahdi... But that's just me! We are now down to days and not months, when we see a new government formed completely that will implement many changes in Iraq. With the right GOI I believe Turki will finally be able to launch the project that will change the lives of many in the world. That's all for now have a great day. Stryker

  18. CNN. Broadcasting From Reno While Handing Out Bottles Of 'Beano' ! BlueyesinLevis: My friend who got me in.. has a lot of his IQD deposited, counted, verified by De La Rue machine.. and is waiting for the dang RV for his pre registered and verified account to be funded. -I think it is a big gamble to do that.. but he did it. As a small timer.... I was not invited to join the group. I dont know the ins and outs of it.. but I will verify that something is going on.. has been going on with the large groups for some time. I have mentioned this before here.... but I prefer not to make it a big deal.. I am not part of it and I dont know much beyond what I just said. -Much of it is simply dismissed as "Guru Nonsense".. but whatever is happening... something is happening... my bud gets daily updates.... hints and clues... etc. He wont tell me much.. because that is part of the deal. Personally.. I think he went from thinking it would be an early exchange.. to realizing that it is still contingent on the CBI lifting the rate first... and then they will be the FIRST to exchange. That is about how I look at it. -Like I said.. I dont know what the heck is going on.. I am just waiting patiently for the CBI to pull the trigger. I am not focused on either a date or a rate. -It may be an oxymoron.. but Folks.. we are closer than ever before! lol ~~~ Rockstar: Hey Blue just a quick question if I may and if you don't mind disclosing. This bank that your friend deposited with is it safe to say it was with one of the four major banks? I am sure you don't want to say exactly what bank it is and that's ok but if you can that's cool too! Oh and thanks for that further clarification of what Tlar has said with his experience in his email here this morning, just gives more validity since you know someone that has done the same thing! Fred: If I had a bank and knew of millions of dollars (dinar) laying around the neighborhood collecting dust, I would try to entice folks to let me hold it for them. Just in case it did become valuable at some point, my bank would already have a relationship with the owners of those millions. Besides, what does it cost the bank to store a stack of cash... Not much. But look at the potential gain of having that stack of cash become worth a fortune and already be sitting in my bank. Until the banks start cashing dinar into dollars nothing has changed. I do think there would be an advantage to being at the front of the line and that's what these bank deals seem to offer. Frank: If this becomes one of the many International currencies shouldn't we be able to go to our local bank and exchange it for USD ?? i spoke with a banker (wealth manager) a long time ago about the potential future exchange that is hopefuly going to happen - the response - when it happens - I will take my dinar to the teller window and it will take about five minutes to exchange. This is a given. The questions surounding this deal are a bit more complex, IMO. Aaanth: actually, that IS the one true answer. when this happens thats exactly what you'll be ABLE to do. go to the teller's window and get USD for IQD. no doubt about it. the more complex questions and issues are is that what you WANT to do? the tax implications, the visablility of your money for all the world to see, all of the financial planning ahead of you needed to maximize you investment. these are the questions that a person should have a handle on and have consideed way ahead of time. many have said, "i'm just going to pay ALL of the tax and get on with it" ok, fine. if that's what you ACTUALLY think is best, then go ahead. but there are other completely legitimate vehicles to hold on to the maximum amount of your ONCE IN A LIFETIME WINDFALL that, with just a little research, one can do just that. i'm not advising anyone to do anything other than what they want to. i'm just saying that there are choices that the smart investor should be aware of before jumping off a cliff that there in NO RETURN from. ask yourself this question... do you want to be one of the people like the lottery winners who walk away with millions only to be flat broke within 3 to 5 years? or, do you want to be financilally secure for the rest of your life and for generations of your family to follow? these are the harder more complex questions... --there is no higher reality than the truth... Sun Devil: The only reason I'll entertain a bank story and rate of $3.71 is because it's coming from TLAR. I've been in this for more than three years and have suffered through the same mountains of BS you all have and I usually just roll my eyes with the above statements. But having followed TLAR for a while I recognize it's only been the past couple of months that he's put himself out there. It's out of character for him and I'm willing to keep an open mind. Keep the opinions, emails, updates coming. I look forward to your thoughts more than anyone elses in this game. KJWayne: As the old saying goes," it's not that hard to make a million dollars but it is twice as hard to KEEP a million dollars". Think, Plan and think again before you commit to anything. -Parksutton: Time and truth........ August 5th is not that far away Buttercup: Blue, only question I'd love to ask, if you know and are comfortable sharing.... -Re your friend and the bank set up....did the De La Rue verification take place right there in front of his eyes...or was it one of those, "we need to take your IQD and send it out, trust us" scenarios? Curious about the time lapse. Again...only if you're comfortable sharing. Thanks, Blue. Gsjr: Please correct me if I am wrong, I thought RK (Randy Koonce)said there would be financial planners and tax attorneys at the post-RV meeting in Austin. If so, hold on to your Dinar, take notes and seek out a Certified Financial Planner and a Tax Attorney. They will help you set up legal tax avoidance and tax shelters. Note, I did not say tax evasion. Do not misconstrue this as legal advice. I'm just saying this is what I am going to do. I also agree with alot of what aanth said in post #1217. Gene BlueyesinLevis: I dont know a lot more.. Yes it is one of the big four.. so I've been told.... I was not there.... he said he has seen the De La Rue machines when he flew there.... but I dont knwo any of this for fact.. except that my bud swears what he told me is real.. he is still telling me the same story.... as he waits.. like us... but in the catbird seat.. according to him. -look.. I was simply trying to say.. Tlar aint crazy.. he aint Okie. -There is SOMETHING going on.. and has been for some time.... I dont know exactly what it is.... I wont claim a lot of inside scoop.... I'm just telling you... I know of three groups... four if you count Tlar's... and SOMETHING is up. -Hey maybe it is all just a clever scam. and by buddy and Tlar got contacted by them. I dont fault him for sharing with us what happened on his journey. -We are all on the same team.... our friends and family wait alongside us.. and its all gonna be what it will be.... -Please dont ask me any more questions... 'cause I dont know anything more. Seriously.. I have no big secret... though I thought I did when this all first happened. Now .. heck.. you have ALL heard rumours of this for over a year now. -Patience. -Serenety Now ~ Frank Costanza Rockstar: Thanks so much Blue I think that is all anyone needed, you are also well respected and I knew you long before Tlar so I was looking for some validation I guess! We are definitely sitting pretty so far and once the new PM is elected it will be a great day for Iraq and us investors I truly believe! Shanny: Gsjr, Let me take a moment to stress the fact that the event in Austin after RV is NOT a Currency-Chatter sponsored event. As a matter of fact, we encourage you to rethink attending this meeting. Don't get me wrong, we love Randy and he has everyone's best interest at heart. Currency-Chatter is concerned about the safety issues that can arise from getting a large group of millionaires in the same place. There are nearly 14,000 people on this site and more than likely not many of you have met each other and had face to face conversations with each other. I could be a man for all you know. There are a lot of people out there waiting to take advantage of you after RV. This Austin meeting came about because a small handful of us wanted to get together after RV and compare notes on the things we learned and had been educated on by our own personal financial teams. As soon as Randy opened this up to the whole dinar world, the original group checked out and you won't find any of us there. Our advice to you... Take your time and call around to banks and wealth management firms. Interview them and then hire the people that you feel will do the best job with your money. Most banks have personal bankers that will help you with all your financial needs for little to no cost. Laura: Thank you, Shanny. Words of wisdom!....There will be many out there that are looking to separate you from your dollar, and your dinar. Am sorry the world is this way, but, it is. The bank stories make me go....hummmm. But because Blue tells of his friend, and experience with the bank....I believe Blue. Yes, I do...and Tom, I believe you too, and thank Blue for encouraging you to come here. There are many good people on this site, just trying to help one another, and for that I will always be grateful. Though was raised in a small town, still have to remember....just because someone is friendly, it doesn't mean...they are your friend. You will have the money to check people out before you get into trouble....so do it, and be careful. The world...is just that....the world, and how I wish it were different. Maybe each of us....will do our small part...to make a difference. God bless each one of you, as sincerely believe...this really is almost here. Mike: I'm with you, Luara, bank stores are a thing of infamy among the folks who hold dinar. Every bank story we've heard in the past has amounted to exactly nothing. I know it's a lot to ask, but can anyone put me in touch with a bank that has this information about exchanging the dinar and what the expected rate will be? Or an investment firm? Heck, I'd even like to talk with someone that has already participated in this program. Thank you in advance! Phillyman: Great advice Shanny. I think one of the biggest scandals will take place post RV when the phonies in the community will convince those with smaller amounts of IQD how to multiply that with some great investment scheme that only they know how to do. The great financial planners are known now, they are not in hiding. THey have real names and organizations. Barrons and similar publications rate them. We have a guy in Philly that has been on the air for years and has a great organization. Praying we all need advice soon. Go RV. Seraphim: I am posting this for fun! Numbers have always interested me. I don’t go crazy about them I simply take note of them because they are interesting. The rate that Tlar has shared of 3.71 got me to thinking about them. Don’t take this too seriously it probably doesn’t mean much, just for fun! Bible numerology is the study of individual numbers in Scripture. It relates particularly to the meaning of numbers, both literal and symbolic. Conservative scholars remain cautious about assigning too much importance to numbers in the Bible, as this has lead some groups to mystical and theological extremes, believing numbers can reveal the future, or uncover hidden information. This, of course, delves into the dangerous realm of divination. Meaning of numbers in the Bible: One - Denotes absolute singleness. Deuteronomy 6:4
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." Three - Signifies completion or perfection, and unity. Three is the number of Persons in the Trinity. Many significant events in the Bible happened "on the third day" (Hosea 6:2). Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the fish (Matthew 12:40). Jesus' earthly ministry lasted three years (Luke 13:7). John 2:19
Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Seven - Refers to the number of God, divine perfection or completeness. On the seventh day God rested after completing the creation (Genesis 2:2). God's Word is pure, like silver purified seven times in the fire (Psalm 12:6). Jesus taught Peter to forgive 70 times seven (Matthew 18:22). Seven demons went out from Mary Magdalene, symbolizing total deliverance (Luke 8:2). Exodus 21:2
When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. The number 153 is a biblically significant number! Symbolizing abundance, 153 can even represent an OVERFLOW blessing from God. The Bible states the disciples marvelled at the fact that their net held together even though it contained so many large fish (John 21:11)! Additionally, the catching of such a large amount of fish happened only after Christ became involved in the work. This is a subtle (or perhaps not so subtle!) reminder that without Christ the disciples' (and any believer's) attempts to accomplish something great on their own will fail, but that with Jesus all things are possible (John 15:5). Lastly, the 153 fishes is reminiscent of a previously abundant catch Peter, Andrew, James and John experienced when they were first called to follow Christ and become fishers of MEN (and not food). Given the disciples were trying to go back to their pre-conversion employment when the miracle occurred, it likely reminded them that they now worked for God whose will it still was for them to catch men and not fish. The sum of cubes of the three components of 153 gives as result 153: 1^3 + 3^3 + 5^3 = 153. Three other numbers have the same property: 370, 371 and 407 KJWayne: I'm going to Austin to meet Randy and to eat BBQ! If I meet and greet some of the other people from the Dinarland, so be it. CC is a great forum and I hope it does not go away. It can be used by us to tell of new avenues that will open up and some of the pitfalls to avoid . Common Sence goes a long way . Don't flash and you won't get noticed. Stay with your group and stay alert. Oh and enjoy the BBQ! Tlar: Serphim, What did you think of the Cynthia Laguard (Head of IMF) speach in January. tlar Serphim: Tlar, I was singificantly impacted by her remark even though she quoted the verse backwards! But of course it resonated with me and I definately took note. I believe that there is something going on here that is provedential in nature. Once again, I don't want to put too much stock into it, but it got my attention for sure! Thanks for your updates I find them most encouraging! Keep up the good work! Ralph: Delete the zeros and the new currency you are the solution to combat inflation?

dealing with it as we have heard not be compulsory after putting them on the market, but little by little you will find a citizen to deal with it will not cause any damage to the national economy nor the citizens and this opinion humbly. http://www.baghdadnp.com/news.php?action=view&id=21072 BlueyesinLevis: My buddy is wealthy. He has told me many stories of the Wealth Managament division of his bank(s) and the perks and special treatment he has received for years. Lists of foreclosed homes available to him in advance of them being available to the public. Same with repossessed vehicles. All kinds of special stuff that WE NEVER HAVE A DREAMED OF EVEN BEING INFORMED OF. -You can’t just walk into a bank wearing your sweats and be treated like a king. Like it or not.... stuff happens beyond our realm.... and it is no surprise to anyone with money.... that some division of the banks is lining up their wealthy clients first. -C'mon. this thing ie REAL or it is NOT REAL. Seriously. -We expect that this is gonna be our new reality... do you truy think the banks wil be caught flat footed....simply because they are not telling the local drywaller all about the workings of their wealth management division? -And truly.. that is all the bank story we are talking about here.. and there have been many of these rumours for over a year now. -Ask yourself.. is this Currency Play REAL? If so.. then why are you surprised that you are hearing what Tlar is telling us? In my mind.. if the banks were NOT doing something like this.. I would think this thing is NOT REAL. I have more confidence.. because I KNOW that something like this is going on. Wealth Management divisions of banks do not worry about convincing the little people about their behind the scenes activities.. plain and simple. They do not WANT us to know. -I'm out. Mike: Lol, I know, but I'm an optimist and remain hopeful that one of these days a bank story will play out. I mean no disrespect to the board, but just once I'd like some corrobative evidence to the validity of their existence. That's why I like the articles so much, you can judge the truth and accuracy by how many times it's posted and by actions taken during or after they're posted. While I believe that a bigfoot or Loch Ness creature exist, until I see evidence, I'm a skeptic. I've never seen a public statement by any bank, large or small, that address the future of the dinar. They always say pretty much the same thing, the dinar is an exotic currency and few actually deal with it. I do, however, remain hopeful that someone can provide even the minutest shred of evidence to these actions, I will publically swear to keep it confidential and will keep the source anonymous. Mike: How would the Wealth Management divisions discern who the "little people" are? The return on this investment will make all of us wealthy, wouldn't they like to get their hands on my dollars as well? In my small group of friends we would easily qualify as high net worth investors that would be extremely attractive to a wealth management group. I've yet to see how behind the scene's info has benefited anybody, wealthy or poor. Like I said, anybody with a shred of proof PM and we can work out a communication system that is anonymous to all parties. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Issues: Thanks again for the posts! With regard to the deletion of the zeros, it has always been my belief that this just meant the introduction of the lower denoms. In 2009 on the Iraq minister of planning's website - with regard to the planning and design of rebuilding infrastructure etc. it stated the plan is predicated on $3.208 USD to one dinar after the currency was re-instated revalued et.al. It was anticipated that the RV of the dinar would have happend before now. Also it was my understanding that all the currency was printed including the lower denoms at one time when they got rid of Suddam currency. They knew that when the currency was returned to its value Iraqis would need small notes with which to use when making purchases. IMO eliminating the three zeros just means introducing the lower denoms which would coincide with the RV. KJWayne: It isn't a cake for sale until the cake is ready! When it is time for the dinar to revalue then we will see the banks say " come on in".

  21. Hmmm... my simple mind says.. what a coincidence that this article coming out right when Iraq is working their hardest to form the GOI. There is always speculation with any investment, it happens all day long in stock market. The difference is in risk tolerance. I liken dinar as penny stocks, which can give you big return or it can fold to nothing. It takes money to make money Currently there are people buying and selling dinar. You can sell your dinar and lose $200-$250 per million and even though it's not traded internationally, dinar is still one country's currency and let's not forget they are loaded with natural resources that just oozing out of their ground. They are movin' and shakin', looks like they can't wait to fly. There are always two sides of the coin in every situation and dinar world is not an exception. There will be a camp who believes it will gain enormously, and there is another camp who doesn't believe but still follow it.. because it's human nature to try to prove it one way or the other. If you buy dinar and have decided it's money gone and you can afford to lose it, I say ride it to the end. The bottom line with every investment is how you feel about the investment, what your risk tolerance is, when you decide to get out if you have had enough

  25. Report: Hamas Used Child Labor to Build Terror Tunnels; Hundreds Killed Hamas killed hundreds of children in the construction of its extensive tunnel network, built partly to carry out attacks on children across the Gaza border in Israel. That report--confirmed by Hamas itself--emerged in 2012, not from the Israeli government, but the sympathetic Journal of Palestine Studies, in an article that otherwise celebrated the secret tunnel system as a symbol of Palestinian resistance to the Israeli "siege" of the Gaza Strip. The article, "Gaza's Tunnel Phenomenon: The Unintended Dynamics of Israel's Siege," was published in the Summer 2012 edition of the Journal by Nicholas Pelham, who writes for the Economist and the New York Review of Books, according to his bio. It is receiving new attention thanks to Myer Freimann of Tablet, an online journal of Jewish affairs, whose post about Hamas's use of child labor has gone viral in social media. Pelham wrote that despite the economic success of the tunnels underneath the Egyptian border, which enriched Hamas through a thriving black market as well as arming it with new weapons, there were a few drawbacks. One of these was a "cavalier approach to child labor and tunnel fatalities," he noted. "During a police patrol that the author was permitted to accompany in December 2011, nothing was done to impede the use of children in the tunnels, where, much as in Victorian coal mines, they are prized for their nimble bodies. At least 160 children have been killed in the tunnels, according to Hamas officials" (emphasis added). Though some children likely worked voluntarily, the fact that there were public complaints about child deaths, to which Hamas felt compelled to respond at least superficially, is evidence of some amount of coercion. The number of deaths since 2012 has yet to be reported, but almost certainly exceeds the number Pelham reported. To sum up: Hamas is not only using child labor, but likely child slavery, in building its terror tunnel network. While the world worries obsessively over the child casualties of Israeli attacks on Hamas targets in Gaza, it has ignored Hamas's deliberate killing of hundreds of Palestinian children, over the objections of the local populace. The knowledge that Hamas used children to dig tunnels for smuggling and terror up to 25 meters below ground changes the moral calculation of the war significantly. Not only does Hamas show extreme indifference to the lives of Palestinian children by using them as human shields, placing rockets in UN schools and the like, but it actively destroys those lives by sending Palestinian children to die underground in 19th century conditions. Those defending the Palestinian resistance to Israel--and, equally, those demanding a ceasefire that would leave the Hamas tunnel network in place--are effectively defending a slaveholding regime more odious in moral terms than any the world has seen since the child soldiers of Joseph Kony's brutal Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda, or the forced labor camps of the Nazis in the Second World War, who set children to work for the war effort. It is rather ironic that President Barack Obama, who touted his own election in 2008 as an answer to the moral stain of slavery in America, would insist today on shoring up a Hamas administration that demonstrably uses child slavery. The Israeli government was reportedly shocked at how closely Obama's ceasefire terms reflect the Hamas position. The American public ought to be shocked at how cynically Obama has cast morality aside. No Surrender No Retreat and No Compromise

  29. Here is a quote more germaine to the claim is not giving permission to its citizens "The UN's discovery of arms caches in two of its schools in the past week has given Israel's assertions credence. "UNRWA [the UN agency for Palestinian refugees] immediately informed all relevant parties and issued a statement strongly condemning the abuse of its premises," said a spokesman, Chris Gunness. The UN agency UNRWA's shelters have been shelled on four occasions in recent days, despite officials giving precise coordinates to the IDF. Israel also claimed that Hamas had forced civilians to remain in the Gaza City neighbourhood of Shujai'iya after the IDF warned them to evacuate ahead of its assault on Sunday. Civilians were being "held as hostages", said Peter Lerner, an IDF military spokesman." By the way one of the arms cache disappeared. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/24/gaza-hamas-fighters-military-bases-guerrilla-war-civilians-israel-idf You claimed they did not warn to evacuate. I know what the link showed. I only needed to show that indeed Isreal does warn the people in the Gaza Strip of which you claimed it did not. And this statement proves without a doubt that this is being done (from the first article) "...Dr Basman Alashi vowed that he would never leave them, regardless of the physical dangers and an Israeli warning that the surrounding neighbourhood must be evacuated." This would be like saying Islam is peaceful and showing only those verses to show Islam is peaceful. I posted after I thoroughly reading the article. I know what it said and yet I posted it. Why? I will leave that for you to figure out. Same with the second article from the Guardian another UK paper. Shall I investigate more papers that you quoted for this proof that Isreal does warn the Gaza Strip people before military action? And Hamas is using women and children as shields. To which you have yet to say something (anything about!). Again I will again thank you for your apology in advance.

  30. Picking a source you quoted, going to that site and doing a search on the words Isreal and evacuation; the search returned this article date July 16, 2014. Isreal was clearly telling people in the Gaza strip to evacuate but those warnings went unheeded and people were not given permission to evacuate by Hamas. I will thank you in advance for your apology.

  31. No matter how much you try to describe Islam as a religion of peace, everyone and I mean everyone only thinks about morons blowing shite up, killing women and children , crucifixion of Christians, and all manner of human atrocities when you speak of Islam. All while there nonviolent members sit back and say nothing against it. Islam is a purely satanic cult.

  32. Here's MtnGoat's latest 2 part diatribe for those of you who might be interested in what she has to say. Please don't shoot the messenger - eat the meat and spit out the bones. Have a great week everyone, and be blessed...! RON Mnt Goat Sunday Afternoon Update emailed to Recaps - Part 1 of 2 - 07/27/2014 (Thank you George for emailing this to Recaps.) UU0127 - We Wait Hi Everyone, I come to you today to give you a recent update on the election process and how this relates towards the international rollout of the IQD for Iraq. The news was so overwhelming and just pouring out of Iraq. This is a time of great anticipation and expectation not only for our ability to finally exchange our IQD but also for the people of Iraq. They too have been waiting but a lot longer than we have. Don’t forget they had more than 20 years with Saddam and then that last 10 years of war. occupation and Maliki. When is it all going to settle down for these people? When will they finally see some resemblance of peace and prosperity? Could the Islamic Eid Al-Fitr holy day be the beginning of the end? If you have not read my previous news letter from Friday 7/25 (LINK), I encourage you to first read it. Today's news letter, as in all my news letters, is a continuation of the ongoing saga of the IQD RV process. Today’s News Maliki is Still Persistent We have all by now heard that Maliki issued a press conference this week and lied about a judicial decision in that the State of Law Coalition having the right to form the new government. The judiciary upon hearing this news quickly dispatched a rebuttal stating it was not true and in fact did not even grant a hearing on the subject. Go figure! Also recently the outgoing PM. Nori Al-Maliki requested a meeting with the recently elected Iraqi president, Fuad Masoum. In the meeting Maliki requested that the new president recognize the right of the State of Law coalition to form the new government. Seems his game with the judiciary backfired so he has to try to convince the new president. As you may know the president is the one who formally announces the bloc in parliament that will complete the government by selecting the new prime minister. So in short Masoum rejected this request from the prime minister. I have to add how ridiculous can Maliki be? Is he hallucinating? Does he not realize that rule of law does not have the constitutional right to form the next government because it is not the largest bloc in the House of Representatives? Does he not see the writing on the wall? Seriously, at this point in time I think the new Iraq leader and president are about to question the pure sanity of this man. Just my opinion. Formation of a Larger Bloc So now we see a major, major effort being undertaken to form an even yet larger bloc as defectors are now moving over to the anti-Maliki side. I strongly believe we will soon hear an announcement that a new alliance has been formed. An ever larger one incorporating the National Alliance and more. A “super” bloc. All of Sadr and Hakim supporters are now moving into this new bloc. Anyone who was borderline now is seeing the complete insanity being shown in the desperate effort to undermine the election process by Maliki and his goons. Yes- we are witnessing democracy at its best taking hold. This is exactly the kind of stability and unity the USA has been looking for and it’s all very good. I do believe this could be our recent holdup (all stalling) in announcing the new prime minister to the public. Basically I see the Jubouri and Masoum now want to dot their “I” s and cross their “T” ’s as a safeguards to ensure this outgoing PM does not stand a chance in h*ll of having a 3rd term. They also want to satisfy and unite the parties yet even more. Funny how the decent to Maliki is actually the driving force that is slowly uniting people in the country of Iraq. The also want Maliki to formally resign and put it in writing and this time also do it with conditions that are practical and acceptable. Gotta luv it ! Did Maliki Resign…. Again? So today, Sunday July 27th, the outgoing Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki presented a written resignation giving up the post of the Prime Minister of the presidency to the National Alliance. The document was a conditional abdication of the position of the Prime Minister. I do not know all the details and conditions and whether it was accepted and agreed upon by both parties. I can imagine there is some negotiating to do in this area and this may be also what is taking some time. We all know he wants amnesty and some sort of position in the new government. Personally I do not think he is in the drivers seat at this point to demand anything. Some Clarification I want now to also clarify questions some readers are having regarding some of my past news letters when I stated there was a plot to possibly have Kurdistan break off from Iraq. Yes – I too thought it was hard to believe since the Kurds could have broken off at anytime in the early stages of the government building process if truly they wanted to. The advantages of staying a unified Iraq far out weight any decision to break off. I stated this in my past news because this was the information I received and I believed it to be true and so passed it on to my readers. It was just a plot. It was not carried out. I also said (and some have selective hearing cause they do not follow up and read the rest of my news letters) that the plot was not successful and the shenanigans Maliki pulled with the militants and the “national emergency” showed the world just how ruthless and cunning he can be to gain control of this country of Iraq. Think of all the chaos, the homeless people and killed civilians as a result. This recent militant takeover is all intentional and orchestrated by him. He will not stop an anything to get a 3rd term. We once again witness the attitude in last week’s persistence. You have to realize the longer this election process takes the worst it is actually getting for him. He is digging a whole deeper and deeper away from support with each shenanigan he plays. So I hope I clarified this topic for the readers and I hope you will make a point to read all my news letters from now on since they are telling a continuing saga or story. There are also many other very good conference calls and information too that tell the story. Let’s just remember though there is no need for this hype every weekend without any facts to back it up. Mnt Goat Sunday Afternoon Update emailed to Recaps - Part 2 of 2 - 07/27/2014 So how much longer must we wait? Well it looks like we might get the announcement we have been waiting for next week as I can not see them dragging this on longer. All signs are showing this new alliance is forming very quickly. The next session date announced by Al- Jabouri last week simply stated the adjournment of parliament is until August 5th. He did not mention that they would wait for the voting on the new prime minister till this session. This is important. Remember to there many bills over the last 4 years pending completion and final acceptance. Some already voted on and just need to be ratified to become law. The GOI has been holding them up. It is like Jubouri wants now to play catch up and get all this legislation enacted. He almost has to since much of it is dependent on the new budget and thus they can’t open the new budget either unless they can go forward with these laws. This is why we have been reading so many articles about Jubouri meeting with Maliki to learn and understand the issues involved in the holdup. I got to tell you it is like 4 years have passed and nothing substantial has come out of that government. It time to play catch up and make up lost time to move forward. This leads me to believe strongly that Jubouri intends to call in another session prior to August 5th if and when they get all to agree on the candidates for prime minister. I think the Aug 5th date is just the farthest out target date being that it is just 3 days from the 15 day constitutional limitation. In fact just yesterday (Saturday) Jubouri was in communication with Masoun and asked that he quickly announce the majority bloc and get the process of the final stages of forming the government underway – that of selecting and announcing the new prime minister. I sensed much urgency in this communications. This also leads me to believe they will not wait till Aug 5th session to take this next step. This also leads me to believe that in fact, as of today, this is not a done deal as many are telling and making you believe. Today is now Monday. So where is the RV? Are you at the bank? Are you not tired of being put on this hype each weekend without backing up the intel with any real factual substance? Oil Tanker in Texas Let us also not forget about the full oil tanker soon to dock in port, destined for Texas USA. This tanker is full of Kurdistan oil (the one filled from Turkish ports). There is ongoing debate from Iraq that the USA can not buy this oil from Iraq without permission from the GOI. Since Maliki desires to play political games with the Kurds he is refusing to give that permission. Until the new PM is seated he still has this power. I believe he will try to play out this last card in his poker game with the USA for his one last shenanigan to try to force the USA to helping him gain his 3rd term. Baghdad has threatened to sue anyone that buys Kurdish oil. It will not work. The ship can simply wait in port until the new PM is seated. This is my opinion. However the situation does put pressure on the USA to assist to get the Iraq government formed. USA About to Step Up Military Operations "America insists on Maliki leaving in Exchange for military support, but it is not looking to choose the Prime Minister of Iraq and knows this would be a mistake". News from the USA government has said that "this is inevitable and the United States were responsible for ensuring that many of the Federal Constitution and supports the idea of a more flexible Iraq where Kurds and Sunni and Shiite Muslims the way they want." As I said in my last news letter I am also being told today that the USA is stepping up confirmation with the GOI on the latest military developments in Iraq. They are getting ready to support Iraq in its fight against the militants. Does this mean anything to you? Remember I said when the PM is seated the USA will begin these operations. So can we be that close? Please put two and two together. The end is very near. CBI Update Last week I checked in with my CBI contact too and all is ready to rollout the final parts of the international rates to the world. There is very little for the CBI to do. They are just waiting for the “go ahead” from the USA UST and the IMF. Sure maybe the intent was that Iraq would in fact seat the prime minister last week and so we were all put on standby to RV in the USA, the CBI and the IMF but as I said many times before the USA played this game before many times in the past and will continue to pull the rug out from under the RV until the government is fully seated and stable. This is not the holdup just the controlling factor. All have been ready for months now. This does not mean they are going to RV. Yes - they have the power to do it since they control the final international rollout process. Summary So today’s news is all very good news. I tried to present the news so that you too can understand and see many of the pieces to this puzzle unravel as we see the final conclusion to this new government about to take place. There is enormous pressure to get the government fully seated and to pass the final Iraq budget , then RV their currency so they can open it and spend it. We are seeing many articles recently about the lack of funding for government programs such as the retirement pay and food programs. These are programs loaded on their Qi Cards. Remember these cards? Can’t use them unless they are loaded. Can’t load them unless there is funding. In the background we are seeing the building of yet a stronger, larger “super” coalition against the State of Law Alliance. National Alliance needs only a certain number of votes from State of Law to completely override any of Maiki's attempts to mess up the PM voting process. I am now hearing that parliament will wait till after the Eid al-Fitr to complete the formation of the next government. This is not a rumor. As you may or may not know Eid Al-Fitr is celebrated across the world as the day of breaking fast after the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. This year for some Islamic countries it is celebrated on July 28th and for Iraq it will be celebrated on July 29th. Does this give us a hint when we can expect the vote to be taken for the new PM? Remember too it is preferred for Maliki’s sake for him to resign voluntarily instead of being thrown out when the new PM is seated. So today did Maliki finally cave in and resign for good this time? I want you to know the reasons why he may not have left in previous resignations is that his terms offered were not accepted and so he declined later to resign. Will the resignation be accepted on his terms? I am hearing the negotiating is over but I do not yet know the outcome. Also could this be part of the timing delay this weekend? There are many that say they want to roll this RV out by end of July. I too believe this is true. It has been stated many times since January that this is a target in many articles. Today is July 28th. Can they do it? They seemed to have missed most deadlines/targets in the past and always find a way to deal with the consequences. I am optimistic they will complete it this time. We are soooo close. When this new bloc is completed I believe they will bring the nominee to parliament. The new president will formally announce what bloc is in control and introduce him to the world. We simply will wake up one morning and it will be done. Then we all go to the bank. I want to emphasize once again this final announcement of the IQD going international will not happen until the USA feels the Iraq government is stable, non-sectarian and is a functional government. This is has been the plan all along. They may have wavered a bit on how the plan was implemented but the overall plan guidelines have not changed. Peace and Luv To Ya All, Mnt Goat

Iraqi Kurdish crude cleared to unload cargo off Texashttp://www.reuters.com/article/2014/07/27/us-usa-iraq-kurdishoil-idUSKBN0FW0K020140727 Sun Jul 27, 2014 7:27pm EDT (Reuters) - A tanker carrying crude oil from Iraqi Kurdistan was cleared by the U.S. Coast Guard to unload its cargo at sea off Texas on Sunday as a State Department official signaled Washington would not intervene to block delivery of the controversial crude. Coast Guard officials went aboard the tanker United Kalavrvta on Sunday and verified the ship and crew's ability to safely offload the oil, a Coast Guard spokesman said. The ship set sail from the Turkish port of Ceyhan in June with a load of crude oil supplied by a new pipeline from the Kurdish oilfields. Trading sources in Texas, New York, London and Geneva have been unable to identify the buyer of the United Kalavrvta's cargo. The oil could go to any one of the many refineries located along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The ship carries approximately 1 million barrels of crude, which would fetch more than $100 million at international prices.

  38. War-weary Gazans lash out at Hamas By Lisa Daftari Published July 25, 2014 Not only is Hamas losing its latest battle with Israel, it may also be losing its popular support, according to a recent poll and interviews with war-weary Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. The U.S.-recognized terrorist group, which has governed Gaza since 2007, has refused several attempts by international mediators to establish a cease fire since Israel began a ground invasion of the densely-populated strip on July 18. Israel, which on Friday rejected a cease fire proposal offered by U.S. Secetary of State John Kerry, says it launched Operation Protective Edge to stop the daily barrage of rockets fired into the Jewish state and to destroy the labyrinth of tunnels used by operatives to sneak in and out of Israel, carrying out acts of terrorism. But as the body count mounts under superior Israeli firepower, many Gazans are turning on Hamas. A Washington Institute study released this week which surveyed 450 people in Gaza found 70 percent support better relations with Israel. While the poll was conducted two weeks prior to Israel's operation, some Gazans say those feelings have solidified in the wake of the ongoing destruction of their territory. "We want a ceasefire at any cost.” - Mohammad Hassounah, Gaza resident “We want to see the war stop," Mohammad Hassounah told FoxNews.com from a hospital in Khan Yunis, a city in the southern part of the Gazan strip, where his young daughter was receiving treatment after inhaling rocket smoke. "We want a cease fire at any cost.” Like 30-year-old political activist Hassounah, many of the residents of Gaza are paying a heavy price for the 18-day conflict between Hamas and Israel. He said the stench of death from more than 800 people killed in the Israeli onslaught has turned city streets into graveyards. “You need to understand that Palestinian blood has been shed by Hamas itself," a 28-year old journalist who asked not to be identified told FoxNews.com. "Living under Hamas is a tragedy.” Since Israel's operation began Hamas has fired more than 2,300 rockets at Israel, including one that struck near enough to Ben Gurion Airport to prompt a 48-hour ban on most international flights in and out. While the rocket attacks have been largely neutralized by Israel's Iron Dome defense system, the incursion into the Palestinian enclave has left an estimated 140,000 Gazans displaced. “Nobody can forgive Hamas for what they’re doing," the journalist said. "No one can forgive Hamas for butchering Palestinians to get power. Most Gazans hate Hamas with a passion." There is fear of speaking out against Hamas, which is why many have stayed quiet until now, according to the source, an editor at a local Gazan media outlet. “The only reason Hamas rules Gaza is because of its ruthless iron fist and military dictatorship," he said. "We would love to have an independence from both Fatah and Hamas, who are profiting off the Palestinian people. We need to rule ourselves.” The Washington Institute poll found that more than 70 percent of respondents said non-violent resistance had a “positive impact” and that they want Israel to open up its borders so they could go there to work. “The study is quite telling," the Institute's David Pollack, who conducted the survey, told FoxNews.com. "The Gazans want jobs and practical things. They don’t want war and don’t support Hamas ideology. “And with so many Palestinians actually saying they want peace and support an immediate cease fire, it means Hamas is imposing this war against Israel on its own people,” Pollack said. While Gazans' anger at Israel has almost certainly grown amid the Israeli incursion, which has seen the destruction of schools and hospitals, where Israel claims Hamas has hidden rockets, resentment toward Hamas surfaced in local reports this week after Hamas' Qatar-based leader Khaled Mashaal refused to agree to a cease fire absent a lifting of blockades and a release of political prisoners. “The conditions he put means there will never be an end to this war,” said Mudhar Zahran, a Palestinian politician, said from his home in the West Bank. “Gazans were cursing him out on social media and elsewhere when he said that.” According to Zahran, Hamas has never been so unpopular in Gaza, although in the West Bank, where Palestinians are “not in the line of fire,” many may hail Mashaal as a hero. “No normal human being can watch what’s going on and still support Hamas. I beg the Israeli army to understand that Hamas uses civilians, while their own leaders (like Mashaal) are hiding in Qatar.” No Surrender No Retreat and No Compromise

  39. I am a member of Dinar Vets, another site and People Dinar. Does that make me a bad person? NO! I have respect for my fellow man until he proves that does not deserve that respect. Knowledge is good . Looking in one book will not give you a true vision of the big picture. Think before you speak.

  40. The body sleeps, the soul and spirit go to be with the LORD...."Absent from the BODY(sleeping), present with the LORD (Soul and Spirit)"....JESUS hanging on the cross to the thief...."I tell you today you will be with me in Paradise"...when JESUS died he did not go to sleep, his soul and spirit went to hell and preached, then led "Captivity Captive"....Who did HE lead out of Abraham's bosom? They weren't asleep....HE didn't have to wake them up....JESUS said there is a "great divide between Sheol and Abraham's Bosom....and the Rich Man was thirsty....he wasn't sleeping....he was awake and parched....and wanted his servant from his earthly life to dip his finger in the water and at least quench his thirst....No where does JESUS say the Soul and Spirit sleep, only the Body in the grave...which Paul says must take on "incorruption" and "mortality(again the body) must take on immortality..... Now you may want to sleep in the ground after you die, but I am going straight to heaven to be with My LORD and Savior JESUS CHRIST..... Let's see you twist and misinterpret this..... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=732862513439436

  41. there is quite a bit of more detail in what is considered government that is of God, and those that are not. example would be that Hitler was not a minister of God, nor is obama, everything he stands for is against our God, so he cannot be a minister of God. thanks we are not commanded to submit to evil governments.

  42. Judge Declares Washington DC Ban on Public Handguns Unconstitutional VOA News July 27, 2014 3:53 AM WASHINGTON —A U.S. federal judge has ruled that a ban on carrying handguns in Washington, DC is unconstitutional. The ruling, made public Saturday, overturns the city's prohibition on carrying a gun in public. Judge Frederick Scullin said in his opinion "there is no longer any basis on which this Court can conclude that the District of Columbia's total ban on the public carrying of ready-to-use handguns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny." It was not immediately clear whether the city intends to appeal the ruling. The U.S. capital had a law prohibiting anyone from carrying a handgun outside the home. Proponents of carrying handguns usually base their claims on the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The Second Amendment reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." http://www.voanews.com/content/us-guns/1965959.html

  45. No, he is sleeping. I believe the Lord (Jesus), and Paul (Saul) make this clear. Matthew 9:24 NKJVHe said to them, "Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping." And they ridiculed Him. Luke 8:52 NKJVNow all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping." John 11:11-13 NKJV 11 These things He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up. 12 Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps he will get well." 13 "However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 1 Corinthians 11:30 NKJVFor this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. (death) 1 Corinthians 15:51 NKJVBehold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed-- Ephesians 5:14 NKJVTherefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light." 1 Thessalonians 4:14 NKJVFor if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
