Happy Wednesday, DinarVets! Here we are, the week before Thanksgiving. To me, "Thanksgiving" is more than just the day in late November when we all gather around with our families and eat turkey and candied yams and green bean casserole and all kinds of other delicious foods... the word "thanksgiving" itself is actually first defined as "the expression of gratitude, especially to God." Personally, I don't care what God you love, or if you don't even subscribe to a religion. I have my own beliefs, and they match some of yours. They don't match others... but we should all agree that it is good to "give thanks", to be appreciative for the blessings that we have, and to find reasons to be happy with life. I'm thankful for this community, the many friendships that have been made here, and I'm thankful for hope. Turkey and pie are just bonuses. (Dark meat for me, please! And keep the celery out of the stuffing, you monster! ) Iraq is in a fantastic spot right now. YES, they have had a rough 6 weeks or so. The people have been demanding change, and it looks like they are getting it. The GOI is making real changes to their government structure, Parliament is discussing some necessary actions to reduce corruption, restructure their systems, and make a final push towards recapturing their glory days. I'm sure a lot of people have given up on Iraq recently. Quite honestly - this is good for those of us that have chosen to hang in there. We can draw a very significant parallel between bitcoin and the Iraqi dinar here - it is estimated that 4-5 million bitcoins have been lost forever. I know I personally lost quite a few on an old hard drive, and others have lost even more. I had some on exchanges that went under, and some I just lost the key to. No matter what happened to them, they are gone forever, which raises the value of those remaining to be traded. The same goes for Iraqi dinar - with every "loss" of outside investors, Iraq's obligation to the world decreases, and makes it easier for them to come out with a higher value. The saying goes, "it's always darkest before the dawn". Iraq has seen some dark times. But dawn IS coming... I'm hanging in there, and I'm thankful that you are as well. Talk soon! And be on the lookout for some Black Friday/Cyber Monday specials around here... they may be coming at a really good time for you. - Adam

[ ISL&M wrote: Very curious if this has at all changed your opinion of him. Thanks..! ] Hi ISL&M, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "if this has changed my opinion about President Trump". He's an imperfect man like each one of us, but I personally believe that God appointed him for a time such as this - to change things in the USA, and the world, and to undermine the shadow cabal (the Illuminati) that has been manipulating mankind and governments. He's accomplished so much for our nation and our citizens, in spite of the resistance in the government & outside. The evil one has used ungodly people to undermine Almighty God's plan for humanity, and He gave mankind free will to choose to follow His righteous decrees and live a Godly life and be blessed, or follow the way of the deceiver and the flesh. He's given us His Word to guide us, but unfortunately mankind as a whole has followed the way of the world, the flesh, & the devil. There are many things the President does or says that I think are inappropriate, but each one of us has to give an account to God for what we do, or say. Many persons used by God in the Scriptures has had failings - Adam, Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah,etc - yet they accomplished His purposes in their generation. President Trump is such a one - He is accomplishing God's purposes in Our Generation. I can think of any other man who could withstand the barrage of attacks that he has, and let it wash off his back. I also reflect on all the prophetic words spoken about Trump starting in 2007 through today. He is God's man, appointed for this hour..! You might want to read Johnathan Cahn's book, "The Paradigm" - it shows the parallel between ancient Israel and today. I won't say any more than that, so as not to malign anyone. It's an excellent prophetic picture of what God is doing in our time through this man, TRUMP...! Blessings, RON

The way you posed your question would lead one to think that you don't think he is a good person. Do you think he is a good person...? Personally, I do - based on what he's done, and is trying to accomplish. I don't judge him based upon the mistakes of the past. Then there is no room for change or redemption. God desires to redeem our lives. We'll still make mistakes, and use poor judgement - that's the human condition. Mankind is fallen..! Well, the Scriptures says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). So, I would reply that the only One Who can make that judgement for you is Almighty God. Also, the Scriptures tell us that "all our righteous acts are like filthy rags" (Isaiah) - so we are all unrighteous, unless we accept the righteousness of God on His terms, not ours. God also tells us that we will be judged by the same standard we use & judge not least you be judged. He also hates a critical spirit. We all do, and say, things we shouldn't, and we all make mistakes. We can judge what a person does, but not the motivation of a person's heart - that's God's job. We all have opinions about people, but you know what they say about opinions. The Scriptures give us God's standards and guidelines for a good life. As I said above, he is an imperfect man - just like you and me. I stand by all I said above. But, all those who know him personally say that he is kind and considerate. New Yorkers are direct and say what they think (I'm from NY City), and we can be a bit brash. He has done more for the nation and our citizens than almost any President, and many historians say he is one of the three greatest Presidents. Look at what he has accomplished in three years without any cooperation from the Democrats, only obstruction. Have a good night and rest of the week. Ron

Well said again Ron. I don't know who gave you the ruby, but I evened you out. When President Trump ran the first time, he was not in it very long and I believe he did not take it seriously. When he got into the race for this term, something changed him. He has even said this time was different. When going across the country he really got in touch with the people. I truly believe he wants to do what is right for the people of this Great Land! That is why everything is AMERICA FIRST with him. This Nation was founded with GOD being in every aspect of it. For too long evil has been creeping in, slowly eroding the moral values of this Nation. This Nation has been given the chance to right the wrong and set it back on the right path. I agree with Ron, he was appointed this duty by GOD.

U Got It Chic ! And Keep Bringing That Wicked Positive Juju While The Bro’s Are In Rehab Or Whatever Lame Excuse That They’ve Been Using For Slacking Off Lately ... LINK Economists: The Biggest Corruption Exists In The Central Bank And Currency Auction 21st November, 2019 Economists expressed their opinion on the actions of the Iraqi Integrity Commission on fighting corruption and corrupt in the Iraqi state, indicating that it dropped the secondary figures and left the "big", stressing that the largest corruption exists in the central bank and auction currency. The Iraqi economic expert, Majid al-Suri, in a press statement followed by the "independent" on Wednesday, "The corruption files that have been raised are just simple issues in the large corruption files that concern projects in most state institutions." He added, “To refer to the reports of the Audit Bureau since 2005 and so far, there is a fixation of very large cases of corruption, especially with regard to the file of electricity and defense deals and the entry of ISIS, and these very large files of corruption shaking thrones, but unfortunately not addressed, because Senior officials are involved and cannot condemn themselves.” He pointed out that "one of the main causes of corruption is the lack of real institutions in the Iraqi state, as evidenced by the contradiction between the ministries and their decisions, as well as the lack of application of laws, including the law on financial management and public debt, which has not been applied since 2003 and so far." For his part, said professor of economics at the University of Wasit Ahmed al-Atwani, "the pursuit of the figures involved in corruption is much more important than the follow-up of corruption sites to catch young corrupt," pointing out that "quotas made the fight against corruption difficult." He added, "The largest corruption exists in the central bank and auction currency, but those files are difficult to disclose because the corrupt have wide ways to circumvent in this framework." He pointed out that "the size of corruption is estimated at 183 billion dollars, but the failure to follow up on these files due to structural imbalance in anti-corruption bodies." The professor of political science at the University of Baghdad, Atheer al-Jasser, in a statement :, "The presentation of these files at the moment can not be read only in the context of absorbing public anger, and can not be taken seriously." "If the Palestinian Authority wanted to succeed in absorbing the anger, it would have toppled the big political figures and the president involved in corruption cases." He pointed out that "there is no longer any confidence between the Iraqi street and governments, and put corruption files in any formula will not only push Iraqis to question what is hidden from those files," pointing out that "the most important question now is who is held accountable?" There is a state of distrust of the entire political class. There is no confidence in its seriousness in the anti-corruption process.”

Ur On It Fancy ! And For Everyone Else Playing At Home - Don’t Skim Thru This Next Article Too Quickly ! If Nothing Else - Just Read The Large Green Highlighted Font In The Middle And The Big Dark Red Font At The End ... Declaration of victory of the revolutions of Iraq and Lebanon and the end of the Iranian regime - 12 Minutes Have Passed The victory of the Iraq and Lebanon revolutions can be "declared" without a doubt, but the Middle East can be declared a new era and the end of the dark tunnel that Khomeini came to power in Iran more than 40 years ago. It is no longer possible to imagine the decline of the revolutions of Lebanon and Iraq and the abandonment of the two peoples' dream of ending the system of corruption and sectarian quotas and the domination of the followers of Tehran, after the spark of the protests of the two countries to the Iranian street and the explosion of pent-up anger in most Iranian cities. If the protests were in one of the three countries, their failure could be likely, whatever the scale of the uprising, because of the cruelty and the dominance of their corrupt regimes. But its explosion in the three countries will prevent it from receding in any of them. Before the flames of protests spread to the streets of Iran, it was clear that the Iraqi and Lebanese revolutions had drawn a lot of determination from each other, which was evident in the slogans raised in the yards of the two countries. The momentum of protests in Iraq or Lebanon could not have diminished as the other country's revolution continued. After the outrage spread to the Iranian street, the heartland of the ruins for which they revolted, the uprising in Iraq and Lebanon has become highly unlikely. The Iranians' protests, sparked by fuel price increases, were caused more deeply by the protests of Iraqis and Lebanese against Iranian influence, which destroyed state institutions in both countries, and is evident in the slogans and cheers raised by protesters in Iranian cities. Surprisingly, the volume of messages and slogans exchanged, especially between Iraqi and Iranian protesters, where the symbolism of raising a number of Iraqi flags in some Iranian protests cannot be overlooked. The Iraqi protesters rushed to carry banners and spread messages addressed to the Iranian street in Persian, Arabic and English, assuring them that the Iraqi protesters are against the policies of the Iranian regime. The letters stressed that the Iraqi protesters stood by the Iranians in their rebellion to get rid of the regime, which ignites the fires in the region and cause suffering and suffering of the people of the region. Iran's insistence on increasing fuel prices, even after the outbreak of protests and the apparent risk that this could lead to the fall of the regime, reveals the magnitude of the regime's impasse and the severity of comprehensive US sanctions, which cannot be compared to any previous sanctions on any country in the world. It is logical that the Iranian regime could not enter this dangerous adventure if it were able to avoid it and did not have to swallow this poison. The harshness of US sanctions is that it is hundreds of times more difficult to circumvent today than it was in the past, because of modern technology and the use of artificial intelligence to detect anyone involved in dealing with Tehran, even indirectly. This is evident in the fact that all international companies, even those of countries that strongly oppose US sanctions, such as China and Russia, refrain from dealing with the Iranian regime, because they realize that they will face American sanctions. It is also not about the abundance of oil derivatives, although Iran imports a proportion of them because of the deterioration of its refineries, but it is about the drying up of Tehran's financial resources in light of the almost complete cessation of oil exports and the comprehensive package of stifling US sanctions. This means that the Iranian authorities are trapped between two of the most bitter problems, and that one has to swallow one. Either the anger of the street or the inability to run the state and pay salaries, including the salaries of the regime's guards from the Revolutionary Guards, the Basij and the army. US sanctions are not a blow to Iran and it's over! Because her pain doubles every day, but every hour. It has no painkillers or hope that it can be alleviated in the near or even distant future. The reality now is that the existence of a regime like the Iranian regime is no longer possible, after the world has changed so much in recent years, and there is only one thorn that is difficult for the international community to deal with. God in the earth, all the earth and not only the Arab and Muslim world. It is no longer possible to turn the page of what was announced by the Iraqi and Lebanese revolution, especially after the spark arrived on the Iranian street. In no way can things be restored to what they were before October 1. Even if one of these revolutions receded for days or weeks, the script was written and declared and could no longer be pulled from the minds of the uprising. This means that the march, which began to end the dark phase, which began with the abduction of the Iranian revolution 40 years ago, is already over and we are in the throes of reality. Thus, the elements and pillars of the end of the period of Iranian influence, and even the rise of political Islam as a whole, which would not have spread without Khomeini's rise to power in 1979, were interconnected. One of the cynical jokes circulated by protesters says that Iran has not succeeded in exporting the revolution for 40 years and that they (the protesters) were able to export the revolution within 40 days. The successes of the Iraq and Lebanon revolutions and the end of the Iranian regime, as it is now devastated, can be declared with complete certainty, pending the elaboration of translation tracks in the coming weeks or months.

courtesy of QAnon... Turns out some Ukraine Ministers of Parliament got some information from journalists about a $7.4 billion scandal and are demanding their new President Zelensky and US President Trump investigate it. Turns out, it's tied into Hunter Biden..... surprise surprise. I hope this is finally what's gonna show the world what lying scum the globalists are and why the Dems are so hellbend on trying to impeach Trump when they have no case. https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/press-conference/625831.html (and fyi, Q did say earlier there would be indictments this year YAY, finally!) MPs demand Zelensky, Trump investigate suspicion of U.S.-Ukraine corruption involving $7.4 bln KYIV. Nov 20 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukrainian members of parliament have demanded the presidents of Ukraine and the United States, Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump, investigate suspicions of the legalization of $7.4 billion by the "family" of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych through the American investment fund Franklin Templeton Investments, which they said has ties to the U.S. Democratic Party. At a press conference at the Interfax-Ukraine agency on Wednesday, MP Andriy Derkach announced that deputies have received new materials from investigative journalists about international corruption and the participation of Ukrainian officials in it. "Last week, November 14, the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO), unnoticed by the media, announced a new suspicion to the notorious owner of Burisma, ex-Ecology Minister Zlochevsky. According to the suspicion, the Yanukovych family is suspected, in particular, with legalizing (laundering) of criminally obtained income through Franklin Templeton Investments, an investment fund carrying out purchases of external government loan bonds totaling $7.4 billion," Derkach said. With reference to the investigation, he emphasized: it was money criminally obtained by the "family" of Yanukovych and invested in the purchase of Ukrainian debt in 2013-2014. For his part, MP Oleksandr Dubinsky from the Servant of the People faction said that according to investigators, "the Yanukovych 'family' illegally obtained $7.4 billion and laundered the funds through an investment fund close to some representatives of the U.S. Democratic Party in the form of external government loan bonds." Meanwhile, Derkach said that several facts indicate Franklin Templeton Investments' relationship with the U.S. Democratic Party. "The son of Templeton's founder, John Templeton Jr., was one of President Obama's major campaign donors. Another fund-related character is Thomas Donilon. Managing Director of BlackRock Investment Institute, shareholder Franklin Templeton Investments, which has the largest share in the fund. It is noteworthy that he previously was Obama's national security advisor," Derkach said. The MP said that the presidents of Ukraine and the United States should combine the efforts of the two countries to establish facts of corruption and money laundering with the participation of citizens of both countries. "President Zelensky must pick up the phone, dial Trump, ask for help and cooperation in the fight against corruption and fly to Washington. The issue of combating international corruption in Ukraine with the participation of citizens, businessmen and U.S. officials should become a key during the meeting of the two presidents," he said. Derkach said as a result of the meeting, it is necessary to build interaction between the Ukrainian investigating authorities and the U.S. Department of Justice to obtain information about the organizers of the bond issue, clients and beneficiaries of investment funds for each purchase, interrogate fund officials, etc. As reported, on October 9, 2019, Derkach published official correspondence between NABU and the U.S. Embassy, according to which the first deputy of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), Gizo Uglava, through his assistant Polina Chyzh, for a long time provided the U.S. Embassy with information that negatively affected the course of events in Ukraine and the United States. Derkach said Chyzh received instructions from the representative of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine Hanna Emelyanova to provide information on the case involving Zlochevsky. Derkach also announced the amount of money transferred to representatives of the Burisma Group, including Hunter Biden. According to documents, in general, in favor of Hunter Biden, Alexander Kwasniewski, Alan Apter and Devon Archer, Burisma paid about $16.5 million. According to Derkach, ex-Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin repeatedly appealed to the NABU Director Artem Sytnyk in the framework of criminal proceedings for Burisma, but constantly received formal responses. The activities of Shokin, according to the MP, irritated then U.S. Vice President Joe Biden during his fifth visit to Kyiv in two years. The visit on December 7-8, 2015, was devoted to solving the issue of Shokin's resignation for the affairs of Zlochevsky and Burisma, he said. "The subject of pressure was the $1 billion credit guarantee that the United States should have provided to Ukraine: Biden himself acknowledged the pressure in his speech to the U.S. Foreign Relations Council in January 2018," Derkach said.

Sorry rock but you are so deceived..! Obama is the reason the country is in the state it was in ... he's a globalist through & through, backed by the Soros machine, and now a key part of it. He and his wife despise our country and our flag (caught even on video saying such) - totally unpatriotic. Trump is taking NO SALARY, but donating it. Enough said..! As for your red rubies, it's what others think of your opinions stated in your comments. (Just so you know, it wasn't me who gave you that red ruby on your first post). Like it has been said in an old proverb: "it's better to be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt". Best wishes. have a great Thanksgiving (A time to thank Almighty God for the blessings we have). RON

Iraqi figures on the US sanctions list on charges of corruption and repression - Two Hours Have Passed BAGHDAD - The United States plans to take punitive measures against Iraqi figures over their involvement in the use of lethal force to quell mass popular protests that began in early October and continue for the 50th consecutive day, informed sources in Baghdad said. The sources told "Arabs" that Washington is also considering punishing Iraqi figures from the first political line, on charges of corruption and violation of human rights. According to the sources, there are two lists that may be issued by the US Treasury soon, including the names of five Iraqi figures, which will be covered by financial sanctions in accordance with the laws in force in the United States. The sources pointed out that the new US sanctions, will be extended to three prominent Iraqi figures, closely linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the Popular Mobilization militias, pointing out that "Abu Jihad al-Hashemi, Director of the Office of Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, put his name at the top of the list of punished figures." Fog has surrounded the fate of al-Hashemi since the beginning of this month, after the leaked office of Abdul-Mahdi news of his resignation, and the appointment of Qais al-Amiri, close to Faleh al-Fayyad, head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, in his position. Hashemi is described as the de facto prime minister in Iraq since the formation of Abdul Mahdi's government, which confirms the sources accompanying that he chose the most prominent pillars, while other sources say that “Abu Jihad is the financial coordinator of the activities of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Iraq, which includes billions of dollars in the areas of housing, entertainment, tourism and materials Food. ” The sources confirm that the decision to resign al-Hashemi was a formality, to suggest to the public that it is far from the office of Abdul-Mahdi when the list of sanctions to come out in public. The second figure, who the sources say will respond to the sanctions list, is Hussein Faleh, known as Abu Zainab al-Lami, the head of the PMU's private security service, and is known as the personal companion inside Iraq of senior Revolutionary Guards general Qasem Soleimani. The third person under US sanctions is Ahmed al-Asadi, a member of the Fatah bloc and leader of the Jund al-Imam Brigades. Personalities targeted Abu Jihad al - Hashemi , Director of the Head of Government Office Hussein Faleh Security Service chief in the popular crowd , Ahmed al - Asadi Soldiers Brigades leader Imam Nuri al - Maliki , the leader of a coalition of state law , Hadi al - Ameri , leader of the Alliance of Conquest Sources confirm that these figures are directly involved in the coordination of sniper and killed and injured and the arrest and abduction Thousands of demonstrators, activists and journalists across the country have been experiencing protests since the beginning of last month. The sources point to the existence of US financial sanctions against another list, including the names of high caliber in Iraq, such as the leader of the coalition of law Nuri al-Maliki and the leader of the conquest coalition Hadi al-Amiri. The sanctions against al-Maliki and al-Amiri related to corruption and human rights violations, while the sources confirm that the United States is considering putting the name of the head of the Popular Mobilization Commission, Faleh al-Fayyad, on the same list, which includes the leaders of the rule of law and Fatah on similar charges. Such sanctions would impose complex financial constraints on the movement of funds for persons listed in the Regulations. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday the administration would not stand idly by "while we see corrupt officials making the Iraqi people suffer." He stressed that the United States will impose sanctions on corrupt figures who steal the wealth of the Iraqi people. He added that the protests in Iraq do not distinguish between communities and ethnic groups, but wants to get rid of Iranian interference, pointing out that the United States remains the largest donor of humanitarian aid in Iraq. But an Iraqi observer played down the seriousness of the leaks and predicted that government sources with limited influence had leaked them, with the aim of spreading terror among Iranian figures, whose presence was heavy on the political system. The observer told Al-Arab, “It can be said that the protests have strengthened one wing of the last wing of the regime in Iraq, so that the wing dare to declare its desire to exclude the faces that have become subordinate to Iran is a burden on Iran itself. All this means that there is an intention to carry out liquidations within the regime, supervised by Iran in order to delude the protesters that there is a real response to their demands. "Even if the leaks are real, they may be part of a plan to soak up popular anger and divert it from demanding the fall of the entire sectarian system and turn the page of corruption into attention to the fragments of the already existing conflict between the pre-existing wings of the regime under Iranian auspices." He ruled that this would affect the protesters and reduce the ceiling of their demands because it is a prosthetic solution, like the ministerial changes, which they refused to consider a solution, stressing that the violence against the demonstrators was not an individual behavior as it was a systematic policy linked to an Iranian defense plan, details of which were illustrated by the recent repression Inside Iranian cities.

That’s what the 2020 budget is all about. The 2020 budget…is the number one thing that has to happen before the RV. The 2020 budget is the financial roadmap to the rate change. Now I have another article saying they are going through the 2018 budget and finalizing all it’s accounts.

Abadi comments on Iran's role in Iraq: my removal from power came with foreign intervention 2019-11-20 The former prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, commented on Wednesday, on the leaks published in the New York Times about Iran's role in Iraq, indicating that his removal from power came by external interference. Abadi said in remarks to the station "Arab event": "I was removed from the rule of external intervention and the use of militias," according to the station. He added, "Our stand against the government of Abdul-Mahdi comes because of the killing of demonstrators," pointing out that "the repression that is happening now in the country has not happened since 2003." Abadi stressed his adherence to the "need to question the government," calling for "early elections."

Middle East Protestors block Umm Qasr port for second time, close Iraq’s Central Bank: officials Kurdistan 24 | November 18-2019 01:42 PM Iraqi demonstrators gather in the capital Baghdad's Tahrir Square during ongoing anti-government demonstrations on Nov. 18, 2019. (Photo: AFP/Sabah Arar) Iraq Iraq Protests Baghdad Umm Qasr ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Protestors in southern Iraq have blocked the key Umm Qasr port for the second time while demonstrators in Baghdad closed the Central Bank, security officials said on Monday. An official in Iraq’s southern Basra province told the Associated Press that protestors had “burned tires” to block roads leading to the Umm Qasr port. Umm Qasr receives imports of grain, vegetable oils, and sugar shipments and is one of the most significant ports in Iraq. After it was blocked in late October, the port was reopened earlier this month as operations resumed. Demonstrators in Iraq are calling for radical change in Iraq’s political system, which they say fails to address their needs, but, rather, serves the interests of a small governing elite. The protests over the past month reflect widespread dissatisfaction with the economy, including high levels of unemployment, the dismal state of public services, and widespread government corruption. Elsewhere, on Monday, staff were forced to evacuate the Central Bank in Baghdad, located on Rasheed Street, as waves of protestors reached the area, the Associated Press reported. Since they began in early October, widespread protests in Iraq have resulted in the deaths of at least 300, while some 12,000 have been injured, according to Iraq’s High Commission for Human Rights. Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi recently said the nationwide protests had pressured political groups to bring about reforms but repeated a call for an end to demonstrations, complaining that the riots are affecting the country’s economy.

"When President Obama announced last month that he was barring a Baghdad bank from any dealings with the American banking system, it was a rare acknowledgment of a delicate problem facing the administration in a country that American troops just left: for months, Iraq has been helping Iran skirt economic sanctions imposed on Tehran because of its nuclear program. The little-known bank singled out by the United States, the Elaf Islamic Bank, is only part of a network of financial institutions and oil-smuggling operations that, according to current and former American and Iraqi government officials and experts on the Iraqi banking sector, has provided Iran with a crucial flow of dollars at a time when sanctions are squeezing its economy LINK

Hey Shabs Did'nt Barry have a problem trying his best to disrespect our law enforcement community on a regular basis while in office?

This is an article from 2012. While the infamous guru's promote BS, I have always maintained that appreciation of the Dinar will be over a couple of decades. If this article is to be relied upon, and considering the Iraqi state of affairs, the Dinar is slowly, but steadily, being positioned to increase in value. Worth a read: https://www.reuters.com/article/iraq-economy-dinar/mideast-money-iraq-dinar-is-short-term-disappointment-long-term-bet-idUSL5E8KT13720121003 Market News October 3, 2012 / 7:00 AM / 7 years ago MIDEAST MONEY-Iraq dinar is short-term disappointment, long-term bet By Aseel Kami BAGHDAD, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Many Iraqis have lost faith in their dinar currency but to some foreign speculators, it promises big profits. The contrast underlines the uncertainties of investing in Iraq as the country recovers from years of war and economic sanctions. The logic of the dinar bulls is simple. Iraq’s oil exports rose to 2.6 million barrels per day in September, their highest level in three decades; the country aims to hit 6 million bpd by 2017, which would put it close to Saudi Arabia’s current level. Even if unstable politics, militant violence and bureaucratic inefficiency prevent that target from being hit, Iraq still seems to be on the threshold of an oil boom that will transform its finances. Inflows of new oil revenue could give the country big external surpluses and push state finances deep into the black by late this decade - the classic recipe for a strong currency. “As far as our investors are concerned, when they buy Iraqi dinars they do know it is a long-term investment. You know it takes time for a country to rebuild itself,” said Hassnain Ali Agha, president of Dinar Trade, a U.S. dealer of exotic currencies. Because the dinar is not freely traded by banks outside Iraq, online dealers of banknotes such as Dinar Trade are the only way that most foreigners can invest in the currency. The Las Vegas-based company says it sells as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of dinars daily, shipping dinar notes to thousands of customers in the United States and elsewhere. Agha said that because of optimism about Iraq’s oil wealth, there had been solid demand for dinars since his company was founded in 2004, a year after the U.S. invasion which triggered years of political violence and economic turmoil. Back in Baghdad, however, Iraqis themselves are not convinced. Many take what opportunities they have to change their dinars into hard currency, and conduct all but small day-to-day transactions in U.S. dollars. “We have no trust in the Iraqi dinar - we feel afraid to save it. We trust the dollar more. The dollar does not go up and down, it is fixed,” said housewife and mother-of-two Eman Saadeldine. WILD SWINGS The dinar has endured wild swings over the past three decades. In the 1980s, one dinar bought around $3, but economic sanctions imposed on Iraq around the time of the 1991 Gulf War sent the currency into decline and stoked inflation, which the government fuelled by printing money. By late 1995, $1 bought as much as 3,000 dinars. After the 2003 invasion, the central bank intervened in the currency market to strengthen the dinar, using its supplies of dollars to manage the exchange rate. But over the last several years, even as Iraq’s oil production has expanded, there has been none of the appreciation for which speculators have been hoping. The central bank now sells dollars in daily auctions at a fixed price of 1,166 dinars, a level barely changed since 2009. In fact, the dinar has recently faced downward pressure as a result of the international economic sanctions imposed on neighbouring Iran and Syria. Iraqi traders rushed to buy dollars to sell on illicitly to residents and businesses in those countries, which are hungry for hard currency. The dinar fell as low as 1,280 in the open market this year before Iraqi authorities reacted by allowing two state-run banks and some private lenders to sell dollars, helping push the exchange rate back to around 1,200 currently. Another factor counting against the dinar is the fact that the largest banknote is only 25,000 dinars. This often makes the currency unattractive to use in an economy where the banking system is primitive and deals are often done in cash. Saadeldine recalls paying in cash for a new house in 2009. “If our money had been in dinars, it would have been impossible for us to carry it. It was in dollars and we carried it in a small suitcase,” she said. The central bank has been considering plans to knock three zeros off the nominal value of banknotes to simplify financial transactions. This would not in itself increase the real value of the dinar, since prices would adjust in line with the redenomination, but economic experts say it could improve confidence in the dinar and thus boost its value eventually. “It would increase trust in the dinar even though its value would not change,” said Baghdad-based economist Majid al-Souri. “Indirectly, when trust increases there will be appreciation.” Earlier this year, however, the cabinet decided to suspend the technically complex redenomination plan until further notice, saying the economic climate was not suitable. The biggest obstacle to dinar appreciation is the fact that for now at least, Iraqi authorities appear content with the exchange rate in its current range. In a memorandum to the International Monetary Fund on economic and financial policies for 2011, written in March that year, the Iraqi government said it saw benefits in keeping the dinar stable. “We believe that the policy of maintaining a stable exchange rate continues to be appropriate, as it provides a solid anchor for the public’s expectations in an otherwise uncertain environment and in an economy with a still very low level of financial intermediation,” it said. LONG TERM In the long term, however, Iraq’s finances and economy may improve so dramatically that authorities feel comfortable allowing the dinar to appreciate under the pressure of flows of oil money into the country. The IMF expects this year’s estimated budget surplus of just 0.2 percent of gross domestic product to balloon to 12.1 percent in 2017. The country’s balance of trade in goods and services, in deficit as recently as 2010, is projected over the next five years to shift to a large surplus of 11.3 percent of GDP. Deputy central bank governor Mudher Kasim told Reuters that he expected redenomination of the dinar to go ahead in 2014 or later, by which time the amount of Iraqi currency in circulation would have increased significantly, making financial dealings in cash even harder. In the long term, the central bank aims to make 1 dinar equal to $1 with a combination of redenomination and appreciation, although that will take over three years because of instability in the Middle East, Kasim said: “If not for the regional circumstances, we would proceed faster with that plan.” Some analysts think the appreciation could go further. Kamal al-Basri, research director at the Iraqi Institute for Economic Reforms, an independent research body in Baghdad, said he expected the dinar to stay stable for the next three years, but that afterwards it might strengthen beyond parity against the dollar, including the effect of redenomination. For that to happen, Iraqi politics will have to stabilise, skill and education levels rise and the economy diversify so that it is not so heavily dependent on oil exports, he said. Speaking at the Baghdad currency exchange shop that he owns, Ahmed Abdul-Ridha said the dinar’s stability in the past three years was good, but it did not indicate the long-term trend. “We wish the dinar’s value would go back to what it was like before, when it used to equal $3 in the 1970s and even in the 1980s,” he said. “I expect that day will come. Why not? What we are going through is an abnormal condition...We are an oil country.” Our Standards:The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

As I read it they have given a timeline inclusive of 45 days in which to complete the reforms .. I see that as within that time. As Adam said in his weekly update that we are in a good place right now.

LINK Iraq demonstrations revive laws and projects stalled for years 21st November, 2019 The House of Representatives has not been able, during the previous sessions, to pass an important package of laws, which were appearing and disappear; Try to absorb the growing anger. Among the pending laws were the judiciary, human rights, civil status and corruption, such as the "Where do you get this?" Law, economic ones such as the "Oil and Gas" law, which includes the establishment of a system for managing oil operations in Iraq, and security such as the investigation of the fall of Mosul. However, the Islamic State in 2014, not to mention the most controversial Federal Court Law, has caused many problems among political forces, as it aims to establish a Council of Judges with one president and one vice president, and eleven members chosen from different judicial units, including the judiciary itself. Experts in Islamic jurisprudence, and members of "jurists by law", As well as the Unified Retirement Act, as well as amending certain provisions of the Constitution. Deputies do not vote on laws of interest to the Iraqi citizen, due to political differences and sectarian quotas, and accounts linked to regional external parties. The past few days have witnessed a political movement accompanied by anxiety and shock due to the unexpected demonstrations by the leaders of the party entities and the deputies. Especially since they have been continuing, for more than a month and a half, in Baghdad and the central and southern cities. Former lawmaker Joseph Saliwa said that "the laws that appear and disappear, and do not pass through parliament, have a clear indication of the weak popular control in the past of government and parliamentary performance, with the dispersion of civil forces demanding rights, there was no organized force following the efforts Parliament and party plans, in the absence of political forces that work in accordance with the interests of the Iraqi people and intimidate the power that works for the benefit of regional states." "The recent demonstrations have forced parliamentary blocs to resort to their old tricks, such as reviewing chains of reformist files and important bills, but they have not succeeded in reading the strong memory of the younger generation and not being able to laugh at it again," Saliwa said. A mission like a law from where you get this, will hit the power of the parties that have been exploited through the money of Iraqis illegally." The current deputy for the "wisdom" bloc Ali al-Budeiri, pointed out that "the demonstrations that began last October, does not resemble the demonstrations that were going out in Baghdad in 2011, which were demanding partial reforms and services, but talk about huge projects that would To change the political life in the country, including the adoption of laws related to the life of the Iraqi citizen and the level of annual income and welfare. Al-Budeiri pointed out that "the most prominent laws that are hoped to be enacted is the oil and gas law, which suffers from constitutional disputes that need to be rectified. Believing in real reform and seriously seeking to calm the street and satisfy the demonstrators. " For his part, the Iraqi politician Ayham Rashad said that "Iraqis believe in the failure of the parties that they think are working only for them, specifically religious parties that serve the regional party supporting them morally and materially, and then serve themselves and members of their gangs, while the rest of the bread crumbs are distributed to citizens, Therefore, the legislation of important laws is severely disrupted, because in reality it does not serve the parties, but rather harms them, namely the Anti-Corruption Law and the accountability of those involved in wasting and embezzling public funds. Rashad explained that "the recent demonstrations, through which the parties were effectively threatened by the burning of their headquarters in the southern provinces of Iraq, and insist on staying in the yards of the demonstration, prompted the parties of the authority to talk about broken laws, knowing that the people who demonstrate does not believe much What these laws will produce, because the truth is that the laws that are enacted are irrelevant, unless they are fully and permanently enforced. " The Iraqi writer and political analyst Hamza Mustafa, that "the differences and political debates and sectarian talk between the ruling parties in Iraq, since 2003 and so far, as well as the principle of consensus and collusion in force, contributed to the disruption of important laws, such as oil and gas law and the Federal Court Health and social security, but the re-emergence of these laws at this time was based on public pressure. Mustafa said that "the demonstrators today seek to hold the successive Iraqi governments for 16 years and not only the current government, as well as the entire political class for its wrong decisions," stressing that "the application of laws depends on the political forces to bear the surgical operations that will affect the body of the current political system The people are imposing a new equation at a time when some political forces are still practicing a state of denial towards them.

I don't support that any more than you supported the Trump loving driver of the car in Charlottesville....But you like to place folks with differing political viewpoints all in one nice tidy little package, don't you? GO RV, then BV

First off I have the greatest respect and gratitude for our military. However, I just listened to a new video by Amazing Polly (an awesome alt news researcher) and learned all about Vindman's family. It sure looks like he's been connected to the Deep State since his family immigrated from Ukraine in 1979 when he was 3 years old. (Also, after only a few hours, this video was pulled from her youtube channel, but luckily it's still up at her bitchute channel. This tells us this info is a definite threat to the Deep State.) While I think most of us do respect our military and the uniform they wear, when it's used by a traitor to betray our country, then I believe that PERSON, regardless of the uniform he's wearing, deserves zero respect, and quite possibly to be arrested for treason. https://www.bitchute.com/video/MJsTquX9WMk/ Also, I just want to point out that probably most average Democrats/people on the left are not bad people, they're just uninformed. They trust the media and until they are open to the possibility that they might be wrong and that they've been misled (which won't come easily), there's no point in arguing with them. When someone is unwilling to listen or see another point of view, trading insults is not productive. It just creates anger and the world already has way too much of that. But on a positive note, we have a new sheriff in town, and Q dropped a bombshell report a few hours ago that may finally blow the covers off what the Deep State has been so desperately trying to keep hidden. And even if it doesn't do it, it's a least a good step in that direction. I just posted that information here: https://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/270028-will-this-be-what-finally-exposes-the-deep-state/

I am not going to argue about him wearing a uniform. LTC North did as Shabs posted above. It is their duty. I do have a problem with the way he went around his chain of command. He is a LTC. He KNOWS Better! If he was a Battalion Commander and one of his 2Lt's went around him to the Brigade Commander on something, I wonder what he would say or do? He would blow his freaking top! You just do not do that! I also find it interesting that him and his brother, a JAG attorney, get assignments in DC, assigned to the White House staff, all at the same time. I have heard several talk about this and I agree with them. The odds on this happening are astronomical. They should buy a lottery ticket. Maybe someone has bought one for them. It should also be noted that his brother was a campaign strategist for a Demoncratic Congressional candidate at one time. So you know where his political affiliation lies.
