Keep em coming, folks! I’m going to hold my weekly update until tomorrow - this has been a really interesting week and I want to give it more time than I have today. Side note... did you all see this?! The conversation and the article posted are some of the best in quite a while! I like what we are seeing.

Jaybake They have to dedollarize to be a sovereign country with an international currency. The way for them to do this is make the dinar "on par" with the dollar so Iraqi's will use it over the dollar. Plus from past articles it used to be a matter of national pride to return the dinar back to it's former glory. Hope this helps! Sq2

Would have to agree. They better hope the world doesn't find a replacement for oil or your looking at a giant sand box that no one will care about.

Baghdad-Erbil Reconciliation Reviving Region's Economy - Kurdish Party MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The reconciliation deal reached by Baghdad and Iraqi Kurdistan last fall has helped improve bilateral relations and revive the autonomous region's economy, Hoshawi Babakr, representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Russia, told Sputnik. "After new Iraqi Prime Minister [Adel Abdul Mahdi] was elected [in October 2018], relations between Baghdad and Erbil changed a lot. [Kurdistan Regional Government's Prime Minister Nechirvan] Barzani's trip to Baghdad changed everything after their frank talks. Iraq now allocates a budget to Kurdistan; wages are being paid regularly to officials. This has resuscitated Kurdistan's economy. The agreement between Baghdad and Erbil works well", Babakr said. © REUTERS / RODI SAID Kurdish-led SDF Continue Offensive Against Daesh in Syria's Baghouz (VIDEO) Erbil and Baghdad are now in the process of negotiating the terms pertaining to Iraqi Kurdistan's participation in Iraq's new government, which it is rebuilding itself after years of military conflict with the Daesh* terrorist group. These developments come after bilateral relations significantly deteriorated in 2017, when the region held a referendum in a bid to secede from Iraq. Baghdad declared the referendum illegitimate and launched a military operation in the region, notably capturing the capital of the oil-rich northern province of Kirkuk. Oil Production Babakr also addressed the plans to increase oil production at the Kirkuk oil field up to 600,000 barrels per day (bpd). "We plan oil production in Kirkuk to increase even further, up to 600,000 [bpd]. Back in the day, the norm was 500,000 barrels per day", he said. The official expressed hope that Iraq would receive waivers from the OPEC-non-OPEC deal in order to boost its oil production. "Iraq is OPEC's member and tries to comply with the agreement. But we see that Iran decreases production. Who will take its place? Probably Iraq will be given the opportunity because the country still has to recover its economy, destroyed cities. That's the way I see it", Babakr added. © AFP 2019 / RYAD KRAMDI 'Supply Crisis Is Looming On Horizon' If OPEC+ Makes More Cuts - Energy Expert Last December, the signatories to the oil output cut deal, which has been in force since 2017, agreed to reduce overall production by 1.2 million bpd for six months starting from 2019. OPEC member states pledged to cut their production by 800,000 bpd, while non-OPEC countries agreed to reduce the output by 400,000 bpd. Oil exports from the Kirkuk oil field were disrupted after the Iraqi military carried out an operation in the area and took control of Kirkuk in the fall of 2017 in response to Iraqi Kurdistan's independence referendum. https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201903211073426593-baghdad-erbil-deal/

Lol. The day of reckoning when President TRUMP gets his second term and cant wait to see the crybaby demwits with their mouths wide open after all the data shows once again your favorite dem is going to be president and they all fall flat on their faces. Another demwit for the block list💔👅💋👀🤹

Wow I am not sure why I am responding to you but I have been in this since 2005. You really should spend more time researching may I suggest! First of all Iraq doesn’t have to cover the RV so stop listening to guru nonsense while you are researching. The dinar you own does not get covered by Iraq. Iraq only has to cover what is circulating inside Iraq period...no they do not have 40 trillion circulating inside Iraq either so again you need to do more research. This is all I am willing to tell you believe what you want but in the end you will be lucky because you have invested in the dinar albeit not because you have been informed correctly sorry to say! The only thing you really need to do and research is post RV so are able to keep and grow your lucky windfall dinar investment may I highly suggest!!

And When U Receive The Email 3Kings - Can U Post It To MySpace So That President Davis Can Give His Commentary ...

Be Careful Kid - U’ll Go ‘Blind’ !

Would have to agree. I do feel good about this year.

Oh Ya, Don’t Be Modest - U Go ‘Crime Fighter’ ...

While Licking The Rear Window ...

Seriously Botzwana? That's a stretch even for you. In the idea of a civil discourse, the modern day Nazi's are those in and who support Antifa. I know antifa defines themselves as anti fascist. But that is just their propaganda, their mis-information and brainwashing soup for the uninformed or the developmentally disabled. Antifa is 100% what they say, yell and scream they aren't. Antifa is fascist . What else should you call a group of anarchists that utilize every tactic the Brown Shirts used in post WW I as Hitler began his movement and rise to power. You call them Fascist,even if they call themselves The Blueberry Scouts of the Benign Universe and Anti Bovine Fatulence Club. They destroy property as they "protest", legally not protected speech. They violate others freedom to assemble and freedom to speak. They bring weapons, M 80's (a quarter stick of dynamite) to throw at the people they wish to silence. Save the term Nazi for the Fascist of Antifa fame. Tell the other dude you think he/she is radical and noninclusive in his thoughts, he is a azz wipe whose only purpose in life is to stop free speech ... or stop up sewer lines. A racist. Don't hate them just because they are pro legal immigration. Trump would never allow an American to not come back into the US. Unless they renounced their US citizenship, went to Syria to join ISIS, and pledged death to America and Americans. They can stay wherever they ended up at outside the US.

Seems like things are really moving in our direction. That finish line could be right in front of us.

Savoy, Both notes are bonified currency. To compare just think of our $100 notes in circulation. The blue ones have all kinds of security features and the green ones are just old school. They Both spend the same way.

Iraqi Parliament Prepares to Evict US Troops US military's presence in Iraq falling out of favor across several political blocs Jason Ditz Posted onMarch 20, 2019CategoriesNewsTagsIraq, Pentagon In the wake of the ISIS War in Iraq, Pentagon officials will tell you what they’ve been saying all along, that America’s intention is to stay in Iraq, and that there is no consideration being given to leaving. It’s not clear the US has spoken to the Iraqi government about this, however. While many Iraqis accepted the offer of help in the more desperate moments of the ISIS War, the US military has quickly worn out its welcome. Across a number of major political blocs in Iraq, there is growing consensus that the US, and indeed all foreign military forces, need to go. This has been brewing for months. The Iraqis saw Trump’s visit to Iraq, during which he didn’t meet the Iraqi PM, as a sign of disrespect. That the Pentagon keeps insisting they’re staying in Iraq, without asking the Iraqis, only adds to the sense that the US isn’t really an invited guest in any real sense. Hawks are already trying to spin this, as with everything else that doesn’t go America’s way in Iraq, as Iran’s fault. Iraq’s political scene is dominated by Shi’ite parties, and US officials have plenty of practice pretending that Shi’ite is just a fancy word for “Iranian” these days. Yet this underpins one of the major reasons the US is on the outs with so much of the Iraqi parliament. US hostility toward Iran has meant practical hostility toward Iraqi Shi’ite militias who fought against ISIS and enjoy strong support from the Iraqi government. US ultimatums to disarm militias that are practically part of the Iraqi government have always come with the implied threat of the US leaving, when they never had any intention of doing so. And now, when hostility to the Shi’ite militias has turned parliament against them, US hawks are still trying to spin this as proof of an Iran problem, In reality, the US and Iran have been backing the same parties in Iraq since 2003, and US discomfort with that fact has been consistently undermining their goals. https://news.antiwar.com/2019/03/20/iraqi-parliament-prepares-to-evict-us-troops/

3-22-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...we are in a very good place - within the place we are in now with MRs. Add in Mahdi who is in Cairo, then with Jordan tomorrow... Egypt and Jordan are huge trading partners. Is Mahdi getting accolades, from possibly what he did today the 21st of March at the beginning of Norouz holiday to end at the end of the holiday, just as the neighbor [Kuwait?] did in 1991? Well time will tell. But, be sure (IMO) things are in alignment as far as I can tell... 3-22-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...two articles...confirm the plan for the currency as we have said for years. It will not RV or RI, but will gradually rise over time via float. These articles are simply stating that the government is going to begin to take action (like passing laws) which will have an effect on the CBI (and exchange rate). IMO, Still weeks maybe months. Exciting news for sure but this still takes time. First we need the laws, then the investors/investment, then pressure on the capital account at the CBI, then the float to offset that pressure. Remember...the CBI is in control of monetary policy. And the government is in control of activating investment/investors. The tool the CBI uses to combat inflation is to float the dinar. This all takes time.

Sure did, things are coming together at a faster pace.

, Artitech, AND The Very Best Of Your Weekend To You!!! I Consciencely Object to ALL forms of violence BUT ABSOLUTELY AM NOT a Conscientious Objector. The basic issue is whether or not a person is a True The United States Of America Patriot AND is willing AND does get the six of True The United States Of America Patriots. Conscientious Objectors directly OR indirectly consider themselves above True The United States Of America Patriots on THEIR screwed up self seeking principles AND directly OR indirectly consider True The United States America Patriots fodder for THEIR self seeking principles. These SAME cry BLOODY MURDER AND being so ABUSED when confronted about THEIR self seeking principles at the expense of True The United States Of America Patriots. Clarifies the basic issue, doesn’t it? I’ll stand as a True The United States Of America Patriot AND get the six of the same. Go Moola Nova!

Thanks SD for posting. People playing nice in the sand box. Hmmmmmmmmm

We may see the increase value of the iqd this month. Iam very hopeful at least. Cheers pp and thanks for this great news n cheers dvers.

I am so done with this.. But it is the only hope I have. Crap for retirement and hate to waste the ammo. The strange things one thinks of at any given time......

3-22-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn I don't care how it comes out to be honest - just come out...it would raise to how the investments come in. I don't think it would take forever to get to where we can make money. I find it interesting how Iraq is buying gold for their reserve. that would also help with their currency and stability. ...it has been a long road but they also have made a lot of progress too...not saying they don't have a ways to go but someday there will be a finish line. Hopefully not that far away, time will tell.

I see Iranian interventionist behind the eviction of US troops.

You could very likely be right about that. I’d take this “report” with a grain of salt at best. Here’s a link to the mission statement of the website ... https://www.antiwar.com/who.php

I doubt this information very much!!

CF that is exactly right. When the oil runs out, Iraq will be in the rear view mirror. Sand buggy paradise. Right now they can't get out of their own way. Mahdi has done nothing to improve things, other than moving cement barriers in the Green Zone. US and allies should have demanded a long, long term solution before dropping one bomb on ISIS. Just a bunch of 18th century camel lovers.

Morning to you nannab. Things are getting interesting.

Boy. Talk about Jaded . Bombs. Corruption and Poverty. Sectarianism Al La Iran and we're Screwed up ? Jeez.

And he's the only Canadian who can sit in the back seat, and still drive.

Captain John S McCain US Navy, Better know to the Viet Song General as "Song Bird"!! Lead the way to expose the Steele Dosier and gave the "very courageous" vote to prevent the repeal of Obummer care. GREAT PATRIOT my ARSE!!

Interesting that you posted this. A group us Vets were talking this morning and it basic came down to this. McCain was a POW and served his coutry. A hero is the guy that jumps on a grenade to saves his comrades.

No friend, I did not have the honor of serving in any branch of the US Military. They ended the draft for Vietnam when I was in my Sophomore year in HS. I have vivid memories of the Juniors and Seniors being allowed to listen to the radio during Study Hall when the lottery/draft was occuring. My Mother had major health issues after that till her death. I do have a son currently serving in the USMC.

I think you got a ruby because of the negativity in your post. You are what you manifest and you manifest what you are. If you are expecting negative things, then negative things will come your way. If you are positive good things are coming they will come. Another way to look at this if you have a negative attitude you will only see the negative things in your life. If you have a positive attitude your life will be wonderful because you will see all the things that you are blessed with. I don’t think anyone on this site is posting positive thoughts to sell you dinar. Then again I saw someone get a ruby for saying good morning. So go figure. LOL 😎

Unlike your dehumanization of Trump as being disgusting (not discusting; you should not type with a NY/NJ accent), and your uninformed belief that Trump has not spoken a true word any time in his life. I will not do the same about John McCain. McCain was a longtime and wonderful Senator. I did not like the ways he would regularly vote against the Republican position on matters. McCain did lose two Navy aircraft while piloting them. One crash was found to be McCain’s fault, the other due to an engine failure of undetermined cause. A third was destroyed on the deck of the carrier USS Forrestal when a missile fired accidentally into McCains own aircraft causing him to panic. Which caused him to accidentally drop 2 bombs on deck, triggering a disastrous fire. McCain "accident" did kill 134 sailors and nearly killed McCain. A fourth plane was lost when he was shot down over North Vietnam on a bombing mission over Hanoi. this according to FactCheck.org . Google it see for yourself. McCain cheated on his wife. You know he was married before right ? He courted his current wife, Cindy, for months before divorcing Carol Shepp in 1980. Again, per FactCheck.Org . Isn't it nice that they used the word "courted" instead of "cheating." My point is that once elected to office and what the person does while in office to effect the reachable goals of his constituents and declared party is what matters. Not the past, sordid or not. All have a skeleton or so in their closet. Thats why we must all ask God to forgive us. And why Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for our sins and misgivings, so that we wouldn't have to pay the cost of them. McCain and Trump did not get along. Also a fact, no need to go to FactCheck.org for that one. Trump says he was a daredevil clown sometimes when behind the joy stick. (A phrase McCain himself used.) McCain didn't like Trump who was a self made man after a $1 million dollar loan from his father. He didn't like that Trump took $1 million and worked to turn it into 3-4 billion. There is no law or IRS regulation that requires a POTUS candidate to make his or her income tax records public. But Parts of Donald Trump’s 2005 federal tax returns were made public , revealing that the president made $150 million that year and paid $38 million in taxes. This means that , that year he personally paid a bit over 25% of his income in taxes. What more are you just going to close your eyes and mind to about POTUS Trump. Trump won, HRC lost. Trump has been falsely accused and investigated for almost 3 years now. Hopefully HRC will be next. I know because I am not contrite to your position, because I can, will and do defend my thoughts on such matters I am a misogynist, and your NOT a misandrist ? Its time to move on from your rhetoric and mine. Trump is doing at minimum a pretty ok job so far.
