  1. Hey hey good morning DinarVets! This is one of those "holy MOLY" spots in history - so much is going on right now! Coronovirus is shaking the stock markets - if you didn't catch @Pitcher's posts in my chat last week, they are worth a look! Super Tuesday was yesterday, and it looks like the Dem race is officially Old White Guy #1 vs Old White Guy #2. (I have nothing against old white guys, I just think it's funny ). Mike Bloomberg bought American Samoa, apparently. Speaking of politics... 'tis almost full tilt political season, according to the drama-meter we run in the background. I'll take a second to gently remind everyone that this is a nice place to visit, we won't all agree on everything, and we like to keep things calm, cool, and collected. And nice. Just be nice to each other, please. BTC is hovering around the 8700 mark, despite the political and health topics and markets. Solid. On to the dinar, which is of course the heart of these updates! We also have some member questions that I'll get to shortly. Sitting (temporary?) PM Allawi has threatened resignation - rather, he has "withdrawn his candidacy". I said from the start that he wasn't my top choice for the spot, but he certainly impressed me! The man went in and started kicking things around like an Iraqi Jack Welch, which is exactly what needed to happen in Iraq. I get the feeling that he is an "all or nothing" kind of guy and didn't feel comfortable with what could have been a solid 80% win. So, what's next? The Iraqi President can simply appoint someone (again), but it's not necessary to take drastic action. Maybe Mahdi steps back up (he was never really gone), but that doesn't make a difference either. As mentioned in a recent post: The good news for us, and Iraq? No matter who steps into the Prime Minister role next, Allawi was able to get some wood chopped. Iran lost a LOT of power over the last month, for one. I think that may have more to do with Allawi's current decision than anything - he seems to want them completely gone, not just 80% reduced. Most importantly, and this is the crux of the matter, Allawi wasn't elected to this position in the first place - yet, things got done. In my opinion, the raise in the value of the Dinar is going to happen regardless of who is sitting in the Prime Minister chair. All of the things that need to happen in Iraq continue to happen, and "who" is sitting "where" does not seem to matter. EDIT: As I was wrapping up this post, @tigergorzow posted this: My thoughts on it were stated above, and remain the same - the name doesn't matter, as long as it's not Maliki! Someone will be in that seat, soon, and the train will continue to chug along. We are getting close. ====== Member questions below ===== This is a very reasonable question - it is based on logic and a thoughtful approach to the issue... ... unlike fiat currency, which is based on nothing of the sort, and actually throws reason out the window. The Iraqi Dinar is a fiat currency, just like the US dollar, and logical rules utilizing responsible financial principals simply do not apply. For this reason alone, it simply does not need to make financial sense to RV. Check out @ladyGrace'sDaddy's post below: Nicely stated, LGD. The summary is this: Iraq doesn't need a 1:1 reserve:cash ratio to have a 1:1 parity with the US dollar, or any other ratio to the dollar. The only thing that matters is "will it sell" - and, it will. There's always one in the group! This is a great question as well! I don't think "massive" is the correct term. "Significant" - definitely, but it's not "massive". Nonetheless - I would only be concerned if OIL was suddenly no longer in demand. Any dips or peaks in the price of oil are temporary until the global demand for oil is eliminated. While OIL is a necessary product in the global economy, the price can fluctuate all it wants - Iraq still has a majority of it, and they will be able to bank on that. If the entire world switched to solar overnight, then it would be "game over". Until that happens, I am not too concerned about the price of oil. 1 - I'll need more info on "1,000,000 IQD is forbidden". The rule is $10,000 (USD) and up must be declared in most countries. 2 - I still remember my first trip to Dubai, where there was a security checkpoint that required removing our shoes and they sprayed everyone's feet with disinfectant on the way through... but regarding your question, I'm going to need a link to be sure we are discussing the same thing Great post, Synopsis The forum software will collapse your comment, but I'd encourage anyone interested to click on it to expand and read it. My answer: I agree with your closing statement: Auctions... I'm not sure what you mean about the auctions. The auctions don't matter - if they sell at 1160 today but sell at 12 tomorrow, do we care what the rate was yesterday or if they did an auction yesterday? The auctions will continue after the rate is changed. It's how they do business. Iran's influence was a major factor, but it is greatly reduced already and looks to be shrinking more by the day. All is well in my opinion! ========= / end Member Q's ======= WHEW! That was a fun update, I really appreciate the feedback and questions from the members! I'll do that again soon, or not, depending on Iraq. Don't forget to chuck your numbers in the Weekly Pool, and GOOOOO RRRRVVVVVV!!!! - Adam

  5. UNAMI chief urges Iraqi leaders to ‘act fast’ for end to political paralysis FacebookTwitterEmailWhatsApp Iraq’s leaders must push past ongoing political crisis for a “more resilient Iraq” to emerge, the United Nations’ top official in Iraq told a briefing of the UN Security Council on Tuesday, amid continuing popular protest and government failure to lock in a new prime minister. “Out of the ongoing political crisis - a fairer, stronger and inherently more resilient Iraq can emerge...for this to materialize, political leaders will have to act fast, and place the country’s interests above everything else,” said Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI). Caretaker Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi resigned in November in the face of massprotests in Iraq’s southern and central provinces, demanding the removal of the post-2003 political elite, an overhaul of the political system, and early elections. Little real change has yet been achieved. Since Abdul-Mahdi’s resignation, Iraq’s various political blocs were locked in talks to nominate a suitable candidate to replace him – no easy feat for such a deeply entrenched elite in such a deeply divided society. Political parties at last reached an agreement in early February to nominate Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi as Abdul-Mahdi’s successor. Allawi was given a free hand by Shiite parties to choose an independent cabinet on the condition that Kurds and Sunnis grant him the same freedom. His insistence to appoint candidates himself, however, caused tensions with Kurdish representatives. Allawi submitted his resignation following his inability to secure parliamentary approval to form a cabinet on Sunday. Political parties are once again in talks to nominate a new candidate for appointment by Iraqi President Barham Salih. The premier designate will be charged with forming the next governmental cabinet. “The ongoing political indecisiveness and dissension, leading to a further paralysis in decision-making, unfortunately do not give cause for immediate optimism. The country and its people continue to be pushed into the unknown,” Hennis-Plasschaert said. https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/Story/47328/UNAMI-chief-urges-Iraqi-leaders-to-act-fast-for-end-to-political-paralysisQ

Speaking at a Security Council meeting on the unrest-torn country, Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the UN, said as the internal political process in Iraq is at an important juncture, the international community should support Iraq in independently managing its own internal affairs and responding to the challenges by playing a constructive role and creating an enabling environment. "We are firmly against interference in Iraq's internal affairs," he said, adding any military action on Iraq's territory must be subject to the consent of thegovernment of the country to avoid Iraq becoming a victim of geo-politics. He said engaging in peaceful and meaningful dialogue toward inclusive reconciliation and harmonious coexistence is in the fundamental interest of the Iraqi people. "We welcome further improvement of relations between the central government of Iraq and the Kurdistan regional government as well as their continuation of communication and dialogue on oil revenue sharing and security arrangements," he said. Moreover, Zhang urged the international community to consolidate the achievements in counterterrorism and safeguarding national security, noting Iraq has made great sacrifice for the international cause of counterterrorism. He warned that the threat of remnant forces of terrorism still remains and the disposal of foreign terrorist fighters and their families is in urgent need of support from more parties. In this regard, he called on international community to fully respect Iraq's sovereignty and jurisdiction, and support Iraq in bringing terrorists to justice and in preventing the return and spread of terrorist forces and activities.

  13. LONG: https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/34981-suicide-or-deep-state-murder-death-of-dhs-whistleblower-philip-haney The coroner’s office of the Amador County Sheriff’s Department in California has done a near 180-degree turnaround on the death of Department of Homeland Security whistleblower Philip Haney. After initially stating Haney’s death appeared to be “self-inflicted,” the department has subsequently stated that news reports attributing his death to suicide were dispensing “misinformation.” It said further that the sheriff's office is "currently in the beginning phase of our investigation and any final determination as to the cause and manner of Mr. Haney’s death would be extremely premature and inappropriate." Haney was found dead of a gunshot wound on the morning of Friday, February 21, in California. The author of See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad, Haney was an outspoken critic of the Obama administration’s systematic destruction of crucial data in the DHS database concerning Islamist terrorist organizations and hundreds of individuals in the United States involved in Islamic radicalism. This scrubbing of the data, he charged, greatly crippled the ability of intelligence and law enforcement to protect America, denying them information that “could have prevented subsequent domestic Islamist attacks.” Haney, a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security following the 9/11 terror attacks, testified before the U.S. Senate, and appeared on numerous radio, television, and Internet programs. (A C-SPAN video of his 2016 Senate testimony on terrorism and violent extremism can be viewed here.) Relatives, friends, and colleagues were quick to voice doubt about the initial finding that the cause of Haney’s death was a “self-inflicted” gunshot, and began posting social-media statements challenging the rush to designate his death as a suicide. This writer reached out to a number of friends and colleagues who had worked with him and spoken with him recently, including Trevor Loudon, Brannon Howse, Representative Matt Shea, Clare Lopez, Kip Webster, and others. The key points that were reiterated by one person after another were that: 1) Phil Haney was a devout Christian who considered suicide a sin, and therefore forbidden; 2) He was happy and upbeat, making plans for his forthcoming book and his book-speaking tours; 3) After grieving for his wife, who died of cancer, he had found love again and was looking forward to an upcoming marriage to his fiancé; 4) He had stated to many people that if he is ever found dead of a supposed “suicide” to “never believe it for a minute”; 5) He was looking forward to returning to work in the DHS under President Trump; 6) He said he has massive digitally archived files from DHS with damning evidence; 7) He stated that his new book would be naming names and would blow the lid off the ongoing corruption in the DHS and the intelligence community; 😎 There are many Deep State operatives of the “DC swamp” — both active and retired — who would have motive for stopping him. One of the first persons The New American talked to about Haney’s death is Brannon Howse, one of Haney’s closest friends and colleagues. Haney had appeared as a guest on Howse’s radio and television programs and conferences many times and had launched his own program, National Security Meltdown, on Howse’s World View Weekend TV (WVWTV). According to Howse, Haney was planning to use National Security Meltdown as the title for his new book. On February 24, Howse posted clips of Haney from his documentary Sabotage, and asked in the title of the posting, “Is This Why Deep State Was Afraid of Phil Haney?” When this writer asked Howse if he believed that Phil Haney had committed suicide, he immediately responded, “Nobody that knows him believes it.” “When I talked to him two weeks ago he was excited, happy,” said Howse. “He was happy about his new fiancé, his upcoming wedding, he was taking bookings for speaking engagements, he was looking forward to the release of his book, to filming more TV shows, and to a planned trip to Israel. This was not a man contemplating suicide. And he had told me, as he had told others, that if he were ever murdered it would be made to look like a suicide.” Howse says he was tipped off about the death by a mutual friend, Reverend Brandon Halthaus, Haney’s pastor, who was one of the first to know that Haney had died. Howse immediately called the Amador County Sheriff’s Department Friday evening, before any news accounts had been published. “I asked them, ‘Do you know who this man [Haney] is,” he recounted. “I told them, ‘He has many friends and enemies in high places and has received many threats. If you put it out that this is a suicide you better be able to prove it because he has many friends in government, in intelligence, in law enforcement and many friends with media platforms that are going to be all over this.’ And I strongly emphasized that they should not rush to label this a suicide before proper forensics had been done.” What was the response? The department spokesman said they were currently working on a statement and curtly dismissed Howse’s concerns with the comment, “We’re professionals!” Howse requested that the department send him an e-mail of any press statement concerning Haney’s death as soon as one was available. “Within an hour they e-mailed me the press release stating it appeared to be a ‘self-inflicted gunshot wound,’ which to me says suicide, since it is even more unlikely that he would have accidentally shot himself.” Below is the full text of the Amador County Sheriff-Coroner Office’s statement of Friday, February 21 (which is no longer on the county’s website): On February 21, 2020 at approximately 1012 hours, deputies and detectives responded to the area of Highway 124 and Highway 16 in Plymouth to the report of a male subject on the ground with a gunshot wound. Upon their arrival, they located and identified 66 year old Philip Haney, who was deceased and appeared to have suffered a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound. A firearm was located next to Haney and his vehicle. This investigation is active and ongoing. No further details will be released at this time. However, after a weekend of being besieged by members of the public and alternative media journalists, the coroner’s office changed its tune. On Monday, February 24, Amador County Sheriff Martin A. Ryan, who also doubles as coroner, issued a new press release indicating the Haney death is not now an open-and-shut “self-inflicted” case, but is an investigation that “is still active and will be ongoing.” The press statement says Haney was found deceased “in a park and ride open area adjacent to State Highway 16 near State Highway 124 ... less than three miles from where he was living,” in a Plymouth, California, RV park. "Unfortunately, there was misinformation immediately being put out that we have determined Mr. Haney’s death to be a suicide. That is not the case," Ryan’s statement says. According to the release, a forensic autopsy will be performed by pathologists from the Sacramento County Coroner's Office, and the FBI has been asked to assist. "We are currently in possession of his vehicle, the firearm located at the scene, and his RV and we will be requesting evidence processing assistance from the FBI on those items as well," the press release states. “No determination will be made until all evidence is examined and analyzed," it continues. In a second interview subsequent to the revised release, Brannon Howse told The New Americanthat this abrupt about-face by the sheriff-coroner was almost certainly the result of public pressure, as well as “high-level pressure” from a number of people in government who recognized Haney’s value to national security. “What was so incredible,” he says, “was that he says ‘unfortunately, there was misinformation,’ as if someone other than he had put it out! If there was misinformation, it’s because the sheriff-coroner’s office put it out!” Author-researcher and national security expert Trevor Loudon has worked closely with Phil Haney, and featured interviews with Haney in his documentary, The Enemies Within. While saying he doesn’t categorically reject the suicide verdict as a possibility, Loudon (who has written articles for this magazine) told The New American that there are several factors that are hard to overcome in order to support that finding in Haney’s case: “First of all, he’s a very devout Christian and would know that suicide is wrong; secondly, he told many people that if he ever turns up a dead, don’t believe it’s a ‘suicide’; third, when I talked with him a month ago, he was happy and upbeat, which is what everyone else close to him reports; and fourth, he was an expert in firearms, making it highly unlikely he would have accidentally shot himself; and fifth, if he wanted to commit suicide, it's unlikely he would have shot himself in the chest.” Washington State Representative Matt Shea, who hosts a radio show on the American Christian Network (CAN) out of Spokane, has featured Haney as a guest and was scheduling a speaking tour of the Pacific Northwest with Haney for this coming April. “I had him on my program by phone three weeks ago,” he told The New American. “After the show, we prayed together and he was very happy, looking forward to getting married, looking forward to our ‘Reach Out Northwest’ speaking tour together.... I can’t believe that he would ever commit suicide.” Kip Webster, a professional field coordinator for The John Birch Society, sponsored Haney for speaking engagements in 2018 in Connecticut and New Jersey. He told this writer that Haney, a member of the Society, was “a very impressive man, extremely intelligent and obviously very brave,” because he not only put his career on the line but also risked his life with the terrorists and high-level government types he was exposing. “We played phone tag a couple weeks ago but didn’t connect,” he said, “But I had no indication he was depressed, suicidal, or anything out of the ordinary.” This seems to be the response from virtually everybody who knew him, including members of his family. “No one in the family believes this is a suicide,” Judith Haney, Phil’s stepmother, told True Pundit. “I mean he was enjoying doing talk radio and was working on another book and was excited about that,” she said. “With his history with the government and everything, it is very, very suspicious but with this kind of situation we realize we may never know the truth about what happened. That’s something we all know and live with but it is still early.” Many others who knew Haney have weighed in on the matter to express suspicion or disbelief concerning the instant suicide verdict, including: Leo Hohmann, journalist, author, blogger; Sara A. Carter, investigative journalist and Fox News commentator; Paul Sperry, investigative journalist, author of Infiltration; Clare Lopez, former CIA operations officer; Brigitte Gabriel, survivor of terrorism, Islamic terrorism expert; David Baldovin, former FBI agent; John Guandolo, author, speaker, and former FBI counterterrorism expert; Jan Markell, author, radio show host, speaker; Shahram Hadian, Christian pastor, former Muslim, and former police officer; Pastor Greg Young, radio show host; and Tom Trento, radio talk-show host. Where’s Phil Haney’s Data? Of great concern to many of Haney’s friends and admirers is the fate of his vast trove of data, as well as the status of his much-anticipated forthcoming book. On February 22, Kerry Picket of the Washington Examiner reported that Haney had sent the Examiner a text on November 11, 2019 concerning plans for his new book and speaking tours in the months ahead. "I have a severely hyper-organized archive of everything that's happened since See Something, Say Nothing (SSSN) was published in May of 2016,” Haney’s text said. “The National Security Meltdown sequel will pick up right where SSSN left off. My intention is to have it ready by early-to mid-Spring of 2020 (just before the political sound wave hits), then ride that wave all the way to the Nov. elections." Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) made reference to Haney’s archive “insurance” in a February 23 tweet, in which he also discounted the early reports of suicide: “Phil Haney was a friend & patriot. He was a target because of all he knew of Islamic terrorist coverups. He insured his life by archiving data that incriminated the highest levels of the Obama administration. Phil Haney didn’t kill himself. RIP, Phil.” Steve King Phil Haney was a friend & patriot. He was a target because of all he knew of Islamic terrorist coverups. He insured his life by archiving data that incriminated the highest levels of the Obama administration. Phil Haney didn’t kill himself. RIP, Phil. https://pgj.cc/kxRCx5 Philip Haney, DHS whistleblower, found dead, police say Department of Homeland Security (DHS) whistleblower and Fox News contributor Phil Haney was found dead in Amador County, Calif., on Friday, according to a press release. Several of Haney’s friends told this reporter they are confident that he got copies of his documents and hard drives to key members of Congress and other friends who will make sure that his information will be put to good use. However, the death of Phil Haney leaves a tragic hole that will be difficult to fill in any future attempts to bring the criminals of the Deep State to Justice. (Stay tuned for more developments on this fast-breaking story).

Even though there were times when it took a lot of time and patience, I thank the Lord for every minute of those times now that I have neither on this earth. For all of you who still have your parents, treasure every moment, it’s a lonely world when they are no longer with you.

They can't even provide for the demonstrators...they said Iraq will be launching their economy on March 30th. Don't forget about that. That was roughly close to a month ago. They said there's gonna be a lot of heavy hitters - financial big players and they said Iraq will be launching their economy on March 30th...Let's hope so, for the sake of the Iraqi people, and for us...! 3-4-2020 Intel Guru MarkZ [Q? : ...Will dealers shut down when its time for cashouts?] No, the dealers will stop selling at one rate and keep selling at another within a short time…maybe they will shut down for 30 minutes or so…but that is about it. 3-4-2020 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...If they ever get to a point to approve the 2020 budget I assure you there is no rate change. Not how monetary policy works. 3-4-2020 Newshound Guru Vital Brad ...there's salaries from government employees that have been needing to get paid. They're saying they can pay the salaries right on this [Qi Card]. From my understanding the salaries were supposed to be paid at the new rate that's why they haven't been paid yet because the rate is still the same. They're saying these cards are set up to receive those salaries. Seems like we're waiting on a rate change. Seems like that's what the holdup is...[reference Vital Brad post 3-3-2020]....Who is the "They" Brad is speaking about...? The CBI, or the GOI,..or the gurus..?

  20. 3-3-2020 Newshound Guru Vital Brad ...with all the struggle of getting the government seated things are still moving forward in the banking sector of Iraq. They've actually created...an international payment system through MasterCard. It's called the Qi Card. My question is why do they need an International payment card while their money isn't even international yet? ...Iraq isn't an internationally recognized currency...Their currency needs to be reinstated in the near future based on this technology in this card coming out... 3-3-2020 Intel Guru MarkZ [Q? : Any truth to the rumor that no RV until after the elections?] No…especially with the corona virus, the pandemic, the shut down of the global economy is going to force it…I still think this is the perfect storm to see the reset...I think we will see a lot of activity this week…whether or not we see the reset. Don’t panic…this is happening… 3-3-2020 Newshound Guru Jeff ...we don't know the whole truth to their elections. That's where they lie the most to the media...their politics...You have to look at the bigger picture...They used the entire year of '19 to set the stage and they still used part of Q1 2020 to set the stage. All of the facts show - they've set a temporary budget. They've delayed the 2020 budget to where they're not going to even start approving it until after the rate change. And they've blatantly told you what's in the 2020 budget. They told you the deficit is the reforms. They told us this budget contains everything for the citizens. Article 140. HCL. They told us all this. There's no question there. We know that factually. So when you look at the big picture everything factually shows they've set the stage to be ready for the rate change... 3-3-2020 Newshound Guru Pimpy ...if this rumor is true this is the type of PM we want to see go in there. Dr. Shabibi...When he was governor of the Central Bank he had a lot of different great relationships with the different blocks...why I would love for him to get in there is because he said this recently...although the IMF and the World Bank have implemented policies that help keep the CBI inflation really low in his opinion their monetary policies did not allow for the growth of Iraq. He said a rate change needed to take place. He wanted to increase the rate. Not at the $3.20 but he is one of the guys that talked about there having to be a "sweet spot". If we can magically get this guy in there as PM I feel way positive that a rate change would happen. I would love to see if this rumor is true. It's not, he's simply repeating what was suggested on several sites, there is no information regarding this from the CBI, GOI or the Iraqi Media. But, it would be nice, as I have stated here several times over the past few years...Ron

  21. I am looking for a new reset or 3-5 year opportunity to go Long on some very choice companies in the coming months. I usually go Long after a good 20-30% correction. We haven’t had that in awhile but this time may be different. I look at everything no matter how bad as an opportunity. This Coronavirus is a horrible deal and I don’t for one second overlook the fact that many are suffering,,,but this will pass and there will be opportunity for those that prepare, educate, and are ready to seize the moment when that time comes.

  22. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/who-warns-dirty-banknotes-may-be-spreading-virus-worldwide..... WHO Urges People To Go 'Cashless' Because 'Dirty Banknotes Can Spread The Virus' by Tyler Durden Wed, 03/04/2020 - 04:15 TwitterFacebookRedditEmailPrint It looks like the Chinese started something... Following reports that Beijing had "quarantined" dirty cash, the WHO warned on Monday that the virus could survive on banknotes, potentially spreading Covid-19 within communities, and across the world. To reduce the risk of being infected by money, the NGO advised citizens in countries struggling with outbreaks to favor digital payments when possible, the Daily Telegraph reported. That the WHO is telling the public to avoid cash is hardly a surprise: research has found that coronaviruses have been found to live on surfaces for as long as 9 days. During the statement, a WHO spokesman referenced a Bank of England study claiming that banknotes "can carry bacteria or viruses" and urged people to wash their hands. Other studies have shown that 90% of US $1 bills had bacteria present, and one Swiss study found that viruses had survive on the faces of Swiss francs for days. The WHO's warnings follow the People's Bank of China last month started disinfecting currency deposited at Chinese banks using ultraviolet light, before quarantining the bills for a week before releasing them back into circulation. Brits, and their fellow Europeans, should be increasingly careful as the virus spreads across Europe, the WHO warned, via the Telegraph: Of course, that one of the world's major NGOs is seizing the opportunity to proclaim the virtues of 'paperless' money is hardly a surprise: the globalist push toward a 'cashless society' has been underway for years now, having had its biggest successes in Scandinavia. Sweden has gone virtually "cashless", and in such a short time, they've already confronted the many drawbacks of relying exclusively on digital money.

  23. Iran's nuclear stockpile now five times over nuclear deal limit FacebookTwitterEmailWhatsApp The UN watchdog admonished Tehran on Tuesday for failing to provide access to two undeclared locations or fully answer its questions about pastactivities there. Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium is more than five times the 300 kg limit set by the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal, announced the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Tuesday, according to AFP. The Iranian stockpile stood at 1,510 kg as of February 19. Some experts consider this amount enough in order to produce a nuclear weapon, but there are still several steps Iran would need to take before making it suitable for a nuclear weapon. The Islamic Republic has not been enriching uranium above 4.5%, according to the IAEA report. https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/Story/47327/Iran-s-nuclear-stockpile-now-five-times-over-nuclear-deal-limit

  26. always fun talking on the positive side of the Dinar. From your last update to this one we are 1 week closer to the RV. When this thing finally hits, Iraq will be one of the seven wonders of the world, because most of the world will be wondering why they didn't get in it. HA!

  29. I'm old enough to remember Dems questioned Trump's mental competence & wanted to use the 25th A to remove him... now suddenly don't have any concerns about Biden's obvious dementia. Joe don't know what state he's in, what office he's running for & who his wife is #RiggedPrimary

  30. The Dem Nomination race is not over but it looks like Biden has the backing of the DNC and we won’t have to pick between Revolution or Capitalism. Now let’ts see if Biden can survive a Ukrainian Investigation into Hunter’s activities. Now that would throw a monkey wrench into the entire process and it might open the door for a brokered Dem Convention.

  31. 3-3-2020 Intel Guru Frank26 ...If we get a prime minister this week there's a good chance you'll have your elections on next Sunday...we hope that in the next few days this cabinet will be announced by a new prime minister that Donald Trump is sending...LOL...really Frank, get real..! 3-3-2020 Intel Guru Delta ...[Q? : Does the Central Bank of Iraq really need the government or the budget to reinstate their currency?] ...IMO the answer is no...the Central Bank of Iraq does not need the government in place for them to lift the value... 3-3-2020 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf It cannot be disputed that Kap [Guru Kaperoni] has done the research, a great deal more than most...I do not agree with the 'float' theory... I Agree that there will not be any significant overnight RV...I came into this in 2004 on the basis that the IQD could rise to around 10 cents under what was then the 7 year plan. By the time of the financial crisis it was fairly obvious that was not going to happen...I have said this before, that if there is to be any return it is not going to come from Iraq but possibly some sort of financial realignment on a global basis, but even that is a long shot...

  32. Not a glen beck fan after the 2016 election! But I happened to be listening to satellite radio the other day, right after Mr. Haney was murdered, according to Beck he was a good friend of Mr. Haney. According to Beck he had interviewed him several times over the years. He said the last time he spoke with Mr. Haney he was planning on getting married, and had a bunch of new information he was fixing to release. He said that Mr Haney always had a thumb drive around his neck. He wanted to interview the Sheriff who is charge of the investigation to see if that thumb drive was on his body. He also said That Mr Haney didn’t exhibit any signs of being suicidal! I believe there is foul play here! I hope it’s not swept under the rug! I believe Mr. Haney to be a true Patriot! JMHO!🤠

  34. This is a Daily Chart of the S&P 500. It’s stretched out so you can see the Dec 2018 low ( circled). From a Technical Analysis viewpoint it would not surprise me if we went back and tested that low. That would take months to get down there but it’s possible. There is your 30% retrace and a great big opportunity to reset and buy some great great tech companies for an investment. For the time being let’s see if the 2855-56 low from Friday holds. I’m seriously thinking we could retest that in the next week or so but it could take longer or be shorter on news. This market is very much driven by news now. I’m in no hurry to jump in for a Long Trade. Trading today was no fun. I pushed on my first one, did well on a gold stock, and then shorted for my last play. The market is very volatile and that is pretty common after a big drop. You can see my other support lines on the chart above. if the 2855 support gets breached watch those other lines. Also take a look at the 50 ema. It’s curling down. Watch for the cross of the 100 and then the 200. Listening to a number of the talking heads on TV and some financial podcasts I can’t help but get a little jazzed when I hear them say the Governments of the world will provide the necessary liquidity to get the world economy going again after this Virus runs its course. The question is how long will that take, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years. No one seems to know but when I keep hearing that they will provide liquidity I can’t help but think Dinar RV/RI. I know it’s a stretch but this is the Dinar board and we gotta dream right. The futures are up over 240 on the DJ 30 so maybe I’ll be playing AAPL, Tsla, or Msft. Tomorrow. If we turn down I’ll be watching Gold or TVIX.

  36. To take a stab at the ORIGINAL QUESTION, I'd like to point out something for whomever sent it to you Adam. Look into the amount of physical cash that the United States has in circulation and add to it the amount of digital money in U.S. dollars. Throw into the equation our National debt and eternal budget deficit, stir it all around on low heat for 100 years. Now ask yourself how come America not only has the world reserve currency but is able to maintain its Super Power status? In Trucker terminology physical currency is little more than a shell game created by the World Banking system design to keep the masses happy while enslaving them. When the World Banking system decides that it's in their best interests, Iraq will RV. And If you ask me that day is one hellof a lot sooner than anyone thinks.

  37. I'm looking forward to pulling these into the Weekly update tomorrow. It's been an interesting week already, and I forgot how much I enjoyed hearing the thoughts that come into the "Questions" threads! I'll be sure to do this more often, as long as we are here. Once or twice more would be good for me.
