  1. Amen...! Praying every day at 11:11AM PST for it to happen on SUNDAY, 3/22/2020 FROM ANOTHER THREAD: Perhaps it might be propitious for all of us to take a moment to pray at 11:11 AM every day and COLLECTIVELY ask FATHER GOD to bring about an increase value in the IQD. Many of us have called this event our BLESSING, and the FATHER loves to bless His children (James 1:7 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. Also, Luke 12:32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.) Remember what Jesus said in Mark 11:24-25 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. ,hawk-eye-view suggested the date March 22, 2020 and the following: 2:11 pm EST 1:11 pm CST 12:11 pm MST 11:11 am PST I like this best for everyone's convenience, plus ScaryMary suggested the time first 10:11 am AkST 9:11 am HST So, here we go ... Corporate prayer at the same time - all in agreement for the increase in IQD Value. ......

  2. These people are extremely motivated. You have to give it to them to be marching in the streets in close quarters with the CV outbreak. They are holding the Politicians feet to the fire. This is exactly what is needed imo. Politicians fear a mob of people who are carrying clubs and pitchforks. Hoorah for their bravery.

  3. 3-6-2020 Intel Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Economic news…markets are dying and imploding. 1 in 8 businesses worldwide are borrowing just to keep the doors open. Ports are empty…no freight is moving…whether this virus scare is real or not...the economic realities are…schools are in lockdowns...its best to be prepared just in case. This is getting crazy…the perfect storm for the RV!! 3-6-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Doesn't this process of selecting a new prime minister and his/her government seem to take longer and longer each time? More corruption each time as since 2014 the corruption has only gotten much, much worst as Irian has been allowed to infiltrate Iraqi politics. This is at the heart of the delays. So, here we go again…this is de’javu! Among the names that are being discussed during the meetings are Asaad Al-Eidani, Ali Shukri, Muhammad Shia'a Al-Sudani, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, but until now, there is no specific agreement on any candidate. 3-6-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Think about all this for just a sec…They have had several Shia dominated government’s that were corrupt and not getting anything done for anyone but themselves…(Maliki, Abadi and Mahdi). They were headed for another Shia dominated government with even less accountability than in the past. 1) The protesters didn’t like this guy [Allawi]. 2) The Kurds didn’t like him. 3) Sadr didn’t like him. 4) The Iraqi President of the Republic, Barham Salih, very nearly resigned over having to “nominate” him in the first place. There are is a very good chance we just dodged another bullet with the developments of last Sunday. If he wasn’t the right guy to get this done – he wasn’t the right guy. Instead of always thinking THIS was some kind of delay…(post 1 of 2)... 3-6-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG If these protests continue and we get a real reformer in there, this could still be a huge win for us… especially with Iran getting “blacklisted” like they are. There will be very little latitude for Iraq to continue doing business with (and selling US Dollars to) a country under such international scrutiny. The end result? Less Iranian influence and not nearly as much need for the CBI / IQD / currency auctions. The ending of these auctions will likely usher in true currency reform in Iraq...(post 2 of 2)...

  4. GO Protesters !! They (the protesters) seem to be the only thing that the Iranian Puppets in Iraq fear and respond to. I hope Maliki, Sadr and the rest of the Puppet show, all take a road trip to Tehran to "lick the wall" for a nice "fresh" Corona .... Semper Fi Go Protesters !! Go Demonstrators !! Go RV !!

And yet they stand united my hats off to them, they deserve respect and should be given what there asking for. Hopefully it doesn't turn violent, but maybe this time there words won't fall on deaf ears and just maybe they will form the correct government for the people fingers crossed.

  8. Iraqi demonstrators started on Thursday morning to close several roads and traffic intersections and burn tires in Basra province, south to denounce the mechanism of choosing a candidate to form the next government, local witnesses said. The German news agency, DPA quoted the witnesses as saying that angry demonstrators have started since the early morning hours to cut off the commercial intersection and burnt tires and prevented the passage of vehicles and citizens. Read: The significance of the veiled Knesset member According to the sources, the intersection is critical in the province. It leads to a group of important roads such as the demonstrations square in the navy yard, the military hospital, Basra Court of First Instance and Basra General Traffic Directorate. The witnesses said the protesters chanted slogans demanding the fulfilment of their demands including expediting the nomination of an independent candidate to form the next government. The Iraqi security forces were deployed in the province’s streets, calling on the protesters to retreat to the central demonstrations square, reopen closed roads, and restore the movement of vehicles. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20200306-iraqs-angry-protesters-returns-to-the-streets/

  10. I didn't figure you were referring to disinfectants, but you can never be too sure The "sterilization" that's being talked about isn't anything new. Actually it's an integral part of how the auctions and exchanges work... not sure why they even bother putting out articles like that sometimes, but there's no point in trying to understand government logic sometimes! Regarding the "1,000,000 IQD" - that amount is approximately $10,000USD inside Iraq, but in many countries it may as well be a billion or a five dollar bill. The statement only applies to the country of Iraq, and most of us won't be carrying any amount of Dinar into or out of Iraq, so it simply doesn't apply to us. EDIT: Math error, mostly irrelevant, see my post below.

  13. 3-7-2020 Newshound Guru Breitling ...I've been getting emails and I'm not gonna name the guy out there that's putting this information out...here's the math. He's talking about that there's too much currency out there for it to revalue so it's impossible... if you do not think they are going to reduce the money supply you do not need to be in this investment. Because that is the key. That is what we've been watching. So that is the dumbest statement I've ever heard people say is that there is too much currency out there. Their plan was and they've specifically said they are going to reduce the money supply. And that's where we find our value...(Post 1 of 2)... 3-7-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready This seems to be a case of the corrupt in Iraq, thinking they could put this RV off again, thinking the world would sit back and be patient again. I think the UN is probably dictating to Salih and parliament exactly what they will do to fix this. 3-7-2020 Newshound Guru Kaperoni UN Chapter 7 has nothing to do with monetary policy. If it did, the IMF would not be encouraging the CBI to accept IMF Article VIII to send a message to investors that Iraq is open for business.

  14. 3-7-2020 Newshound Guru Breitling ...everyone thinks it's at a market rate and somehow they're gonna add or subtract wealth to it. It doesn't work that way. No currency works like that. They're either taking currency out of the market or they add to devalue the currency...They've been reducing the note count and they're gonna reduce it even more. The official procedures are coming out of the CBI is that when they introduce a new note that will absorb the new prices the notes that you and I have and the new notes will coexist with the added value for two years...they'll have a process where they're getting rid of the denominations that you and I have. It will be a two year process.(post 2 of 2)...

  15. That is the problem with the liberals. They can read mind and interpret Trump's words and intentions. lol. We have seen this throught out Trump's impeachment fiasco, where they injected their opinions to made make it seems the truth. Yes, Trump could cut spending on many different spending programs such as food stamp and medicals because more people are working, and also make it stringent for qualification for others. I've seen it where some people came from different countries and within few years, they are qualified for SSI and free medical. How is that? They never contributed to the system, yet received money from the government. This has to be changed. It is not fair for working American people. lol

  21. YYYEEEAAAHHH BBBAAABBBYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER Insanian IRGC Leader TAKES A DIRT NAP!!! Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force Commander Assassinated in Damascus Quds Force Commander assassinated in southern Damascus on Friday; He was reportedly killed in close proximity to the IRGCC regional headquarters. Islamic Revolutionary Guards Force (IRGC) Quds Force Commander Farhad Dvirian was killed on Friday in Damascus, Syria, according to reports. Dvirian is said to have been primarily responsible for overseeing the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq & Syria (ISIS) in the region but certainly had other responsibilities. Dvirian is reported to have been killed near the regional headquarters of the IRGC in Sayida Zainab which is located in southern Damascus. He is also said to have been a close friend of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader for the Lebanon-based Iranian terror proxy, Hezbollah. News of Dvirian’s death is another blow to the Quds Force, who lost their chief leader Qassem Soleimani in early January after the United States carried out a deadly airstrike via an unmanned air vehicle (UAV). Additionally, the IRGC lost another senior member in February when Asghar Pahsapour was killed in a fight with Syrian rebels. Details surrounding how Dvirian was killed are unknown at this time.

Depressed people need mental heath before illegals get heath most agree. States get cleaned out, homeless off the streets and reform our justice system. First to be helped is our law enforcement without them no one is safe. Thank you all for your service. With GOD by our side and Trumps love for country we will get sooner them later. gooo rv PLEASE??

Televangelist Jim Bakker is warned to stop selling fake $125 Coronavirus cure Silver Solution that claims it can kill the disease in 12 hours and boost your immune system by applying the gel all over your body Lisa Landau, Chief of the Health Care Bureau, gave 'The Jim Bakker Show' 10 days to comply with the letter that was sent on Thursday The letter highlights that during a February 12 screening of the conservative show, Bakker posited that the Silver Solution would cure the disease Landau said that the discussion and adverts for the solution 'may mislead consumers as to the effectiveness of the Silver Solution product' She ordered that a disclaimer be listed to all Silver Solution products on the show's website The show was selling a bundle of Silver Solution products for more than $125 To use, consumers were instructed to 'apply generously to skin as needed to help promote natural healing' The office of the New York Attorney General released a scathing cease-and-desist letter to televangelist Jim Bakker telling him to stop trying to sell people a fake cure for the coronavirus. Lisa Landau, Chief of the Health Care Bureau, gave 'The Jim Bakker Show' 10 days to comply with the letter that was sent to the convicted fraudster on Thursday.

  36. The headline was written by me to get a response. Respond in any manner you think it warrants. All I ask is you try to keep the debate civil and try to refrain from name calling, I’m right you are stupid, arrogant, flippant remarks. I welcome all opinions because I am going to give you mine and remember it is only my opinion. I was trying real hard not to comment on what I have been reading the last few weeks but after the last few days of reading headline stories it has become very apparent this epidemic is quickly becoming a political football aimed at clubbing each other over the head. Both parties are using it but it is becoming more and more of a political theme by the Dens who want to try to paint President Trump and his Administration as a bunch of buffoons who are behind the 8 ball. I would have thought both Parties would come together in a CRISIS like the recent 8 B Bill to combat the disease. The Dems just can’t help themself. “Never let a Serious Crisis go to waste”, Ron Emanuel Democrat. It’s an Election year and this will be used by the Dems to fire up their base much like the Kavanaugh hearings. This is raw red meat for a Party that has nothing to offer the USA but a mentally declined flawed candidate in Joe Biden. Read this link which is left leaning. It’s actually one of the more mild sites. Anyone up for a good fight? The Dems are, read the hysteria they are propagating. https://www.huffpost.com/

It doesn't matter whether it's stocks, bonds or Dinar, it's a longterm investment and I'm along for the ride. Although, we admit we are in control of nothing outside ourselves. We accept proudly the option to choose while, we are hopeful of determining our own destiny, leaving nothing to fate.

  40. By stopping trade and moving to reduce oil production ... the actual impact of "corona" on the Iraqi economy! Friday 06 March 2020 Private: I wrote - Nashwa El-Hefny: The effects of the “Corona” virus began to cast an actual shadow on the Iraqi economy, forcing “Iraq” to take measures to stop commercial lines and close commercial outlets, so the official Iraqi News Agency quoted the “Border Ports Authority” in “Iraq” as saying that it would stop the trade exchange between "Iraq" and its two neighbors, "Iran" and "Kuwait", for a week, starting from the eighth of March 2020, due to concerns about the virus "Corona". The Border Ports Authority added that Iraqis currently in "Iran" will be allowed to enter "Iraq", until March 15 this year. The death of the first two cases in Iraq .. Yesterday, two Iraqis died from the new Corona virus, one in the Kurdistan Region and the other in Baghdad, in the first two deaths recorded in "Iraq", according to health officials. A spokesman for the Sulaymaniyah Health Department announced the death of a 70-year-old man with the new Corona virus. And quoted, "Agence France-Presse," the doctor, "Ayad Naqshbandi," as saying: "A man (70 years) died, after his health deteriorated due to infection with the Corona virus." The man, an imam of the mosque in the city of "Sulaimaniya", was subject to quarantine before his death, according to the spokesman. In "Baghdad", the "Ministry of Health" later announced in a statement that the death of a person who had contracted the virus in the Iraqi capital, pointing out that he was suffering from "a lack of immunity." The authorities are taking strict health measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic, especially in the Shiite holy places of destination, especially Iranian visitors. A decision to ban gatherings .. And the governor of Sulaymaniyah, "Haval Abu Bakr", during a press conference, on Wednesday, issued an order to prevent any rallies and the holding of football matches on the county stadiums without an audience. The “Dar Al Ifta” in the province of “Sulaymaniyah” has also announced the suspension of the performance of congregational prayers and Friday prayers until further notice. The authorities have recorded more than 30 cases (Covid-19), including 30 Iraqis returning from "Iran," according to a spokesman for the Ministry of Health doctor, Saif Al-Badr. And yesterday, "Al-Badr" announced the discovery of 31 cases of this disease, one of which was an Iranian student who left "Iraq", the country next to "Iran", which is among the countries most affected by the epidemic. And "Iran" announced the discovery of 2336 confirmed cases of the virus and 77 deaths. Amid growing concern in the country, the government issued, last Wednesday, an order to close cafes, cinemas, schools, universities and other public places until March 7 in an attempt to contain the disease. Preventing the travel of citizens .. The governmental committee also decided to prevent citizens from traveling to "China, Iran, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Italy, Kuwait and Bahrain", while prohibiting entry for non-Iraqis traveling from "Bahrain and Kuwait". And previously, "Iraq" to prevent entry of foreign travelers from "Iran and China." The Ministry of Health advised citizens not to approach large gatherings, prohibited gatherings in public places for any reason, and asked the relevant authorities to take the necessary measures to implement this. The move could be a blow to anti-government protesters who have been gathering in "Baghdad" and southern "Iraq", since October 2019. It is a real crisis for the 2020 budget. On the extent of the impact of "Corona", the advisor to the Prime Minister, Abdel Hussein Al-Hanin, confirmed yesterday that "Corona" may constitute a real crisis for the 2020 budget. Al-Hanin said, in an interview with (Alsumaria News): “Because of the global crisis over the Corona virus, there is a decline in oil prices that may constitute a real crisis for the Iraq budget for 2020, given that it should be designed on more than 55 dollars per barrel and now the prices It is less than 50 dollars and these numbers are alarming. Al-Hanin added that it is the duty of the “government to adjust and adapt its revenues according to the new data; Prices of "oil" decreased since the beginning of the year; after the Corona virus damaged the global economy, the virus spread in China, in the second largest economy in the world, and then spread to many countries of the world. The deficit persists with the fixed quantities of oil exported. In the same context, the financial advisor, Kamal Al-Basri, painted a bleak picture of what the Iraqi economy could be during the past years, expecting the big deficit in the public budget to continue even if the quantities of “oil” exported are fixed; and non-oil revenues increase. The scenarios of revenues, expenditures and deficits .. "Al-Basri" assumed scenarios for revenues, expenditures and deficits, dividing them into three scenarios. The first scenario included a decrease in the amount of "exported" oil by 5 percent; he expected a deficit of 4.662 billion dinars in the year 2023, and the second scenario: included a decrease in the amount of "exported" oil By 3.5 percent; the deficit is 5.274 billion dinars in 2023, which is the worst possible scenario. In the third scenario: With the amount of "oil" exported decreasing by 2.5 percent, the deficit is 4.452 billion dinars in 2024. Note that the first scenario includes a decrease in the amount of “exported” oil by 5 percent, 3.5 percent, or 2.5 percent, with lower prices for “oil” in the same proportions, higher non-oil revenues in the same proportions, and stabilization of expenditures with the value of operating expenses only for the year 2019. The second scenario includes the stability of the quantity of “exported” oil with a decrease in the prices of “oil” by 5 percent, 3.5 percent, or 2.5 percent, respectively, increasing non-oil revenues by the same proportions, and fixing the amount of expenditures with the same value of operating expenses for 2019. The third scenario includes reducing the amount of "exported" oil and "oil" prices by 2.5 percent for the period from 2021 to 2026, increasing non-oil revenues by the same proportions, or reducing the amount of "exported" oil and "oil" prices by 5 percent, for the period from 2027 to 2033, increasing non-oil revenues by the same proportions, or reducing the amount of “exported” oil and “oil” prices by 3.5 percent, for the period from 2034 to 2040, and increasing non-oil revenues by the same proportions while fixing the amount of expenditures with the same value of operating expenses only for the year 2019. And select “ Al Basri ”operating expenses and revenues accrued, in 2019, as general expenditures for the years Coming, a situation that assumes that government spending does not exceed this level (88 trillion), oil revenues (93 trillion), and non-oil revenues (6.6 trillion). Iraq is the country most affected by Corona. On this topic, the economist, Saleh Al-Hamashi, says: “Iraq is one of the countries most affected by this global economic confusion, as it is the second largest source of crude oil to China, at $ 22 billion annually, and this amount has decreased due to the impact of the Corona virus.” . He continued, "Al-Hamashi" by saying: "The impact of this virus has lowered oil prices, as well as decreased religious tourism in the country, and confused local markets and state institutions, and the fiscal deficit increased from 48 to 51%." He added that: "The Iraqi Ministry of Health does not have the capabilities to confront this virus, due to the lack of financial resources that Iraq suffers from." Iraq may support the direction of "OPEC". In a related context, the economic expert expected, "Malath haven", to support "Iraq" (OPEC) to reduce oil production to support the price of crude and meet the challenges of the global market, especially after reducing the demand for crude from "China" due to the "Corona virus" ” Commenting on the OPEC meeting in Vienna yesterday, Al-Amin said: “Iraq announced, on more than one occasion, a support for OPEC’s decisions with the oil countries outside it, regarding production cuts to maintain an appropriate price and to face challenges The global market and to ensure natural global economic growth. "Noting that:" the outbreak of the Corona virus in China led to a reduction in Beijing's energy needs due to the suspension of large production sectors in the country and the decrease in the use of fuel for cars, vehicles and locomotives, and as a result increased the supply of crude in the market. " This was reflected in the prices, which decreased by 20 percent. Expectations of an increase in the rate of decline as the virus expands. He continued, "The Secretary"; that: "The rate of decline is expected to increase with the expansion of the virus in other countries in Southeast Asia, India and Australia, so it was necessary for (OPEC) to take a decision to cut production again to maintain crude prices." : "Iraq, as a member of (OPEC), will support this trend, especially as its national economy depends on financing on crude revenues by more than 93 percent." “The Secretary” indicated that: “If Russia rejects the decision to cut production, OPEC countries will adopt the decision to cut alone for a period of three months, after which the market situation will be evaluated to take a new decision, either by returning to the previous production ceiling or continuing with the reduction measures until the conditions improve. Economic activity in China and other countries to return to its production activities that are natural and dependent on crude. ” Saudi Arabia and other members of OPEC are seeking to persuade Russia to join them in additional large cuts in “oil” production to support prices that have fallen due to the Corona outbreak. And a technical committee made up of representatives of a number of member states in the (OPEC) and "Russia" and other producers, last Tuesday, to reduce production by an additional amount of one million barrels per day, during the second quarter of this year only. It also recommended extending the current cuts of the group known as (OPEC +), which amounts to 2.1 million barrels per day until the end of 2020. Russia has hinted, so far, that it may be ready to agree to the extension of the current cuts, which expire in March, but may find it difficult to agree to greater cuts. Hoping to cut more than a million barrels .. A source in (OPEC) had clarified, earlier, that: "The organization hopes to cut more than a million barrels, but the challenge is still Russia." He added, "Much depends on the meeting of the Saudi Energy Minister, Abdulaziz bin Salman, and his counterpart." Russian, Alexander Novak, Wednesday. ” The Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee, which includes a few ministers (OPEC) and ministers from producing countries outside the organization, met last Wednesday, to discuss the matter, and the energy ministers, Saudi and Russian, are members of the committee. The current cuts were not enough to counter the impact of the virus on "China", the world's largest importer of "oil", and on the global economy. Factories were disrupted, international travel was slowed and other activities slowed, which limits the demand for "oil." The benchmark "Brent crude" price, about $ 52 a barrel, on Wednesday, a level at which many (OPEC) countries will face difficulty in achieving a balance in their budgets; although Russian President, "Vladimir Putin", said that the current price is acceptable. The meeting of the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee, Wednesday, is part of the process of developing recommendations for the wider meeting of (OPEC) ministers yesterday, and the meeting of (OPEC) ministers on Friday. A serious threat to the global economy .. In this context, the Director General of the International Monetary Fund, "Kristalina Georgieva", said on Wednesday that the outbreak of the "Corona virus" poses a serious threat to the global economy. "Georgieva" added, at a press conference, that "global growth in 2020 will decrease to levels lower than last year to the extent that the outbreak of the Corona virus continues." She explained: “The 189 member countries of the IMF are committed to coordinated action to combat Corona.” "The outbreak of the Coruna virus requires a coordinated response mechanism," she added. She noted that: "The global financial system is considerably more robust than it was before the 2008-2009 financial crisis."
