  1. It's quite informative. He goes into Iraq's current options and explains some of the news articles people have posted here. Encouragingly, he now thinks, for Iraq to cover its budget, it needs to come in around $.66 instead of the $.53 he used to think, and he goes into why that is. Also we're in a window up to around mid-September. Of course, we've all been hoping it would be much sooner than that, and I guess it still could be. But he does a great job at explaining the important ramifications about where they choose to come in at, and explains that's why it's taking Iraq some time. And apparently, the longer it takes them to RV, the higher, in theory, they will need to come in at. So, even if it does take until September, maybe it might be pretty close to a buck! And I for one would be happy to wait another 2.5 months if it means I get an extra $.10 or maybe even $.20 or $.30 or maybe more!) per dinar. Although, there's really no telling if Iraq is going to evaluate their situation the same way Breitling does. After covering he dinar, he gets into some geopolitics as well as the US election in November. All and all I'd say it was one of his best audios because he really goes into to detail explaining what current events mean and in these really disturbing times, he presented a lot of food for thought. I'm not allowed to post a link, but if you search his name and "dinar" on youtube, you should find it easily enough.

  2. Good Afternoon Dinar Vets, here's an opinion & comment by Breitling that will be of interest to you. Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. H>e's are simply stating his opinions based on what he perceives to be happening in Iraq. RON *** Breitling *** ...what's the definition of a "white paper"? There's absolutely nothing official about it at all. I've written many of them. I've coached individual on how to put them together...There's absolutely nothing official about it at all...having said that...we are there...because things have changed...we are in an even better spot even with oil prices going up...I can't stress enough about the position you are in. It's a very very good spot... ... I'm more than ready ... RON

  7. Good Morning Dinar Vets, here's opinions & comments by Breitling & Jeff that might be of interest to you. Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They are simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq. RON *** Breitling ...There's two options on the table. To withdraw from the reserve or to add value to the currency. That's the main debate going on. So some of these guys in parliament are are like, 'let me get this straight, so if it's not $66 per barrel [oil] we're getting our asses kicked financially domestically inside of Iraq. But if we add value to our currency not only do we get to keep our reserve but if we get it high enough we can pay all of our salaries? There's actually a debate on whether we are going to use our reserve or add value to our currency?' That's how ridiculous it is... *** Jeff ...the reason the rate hasn't changed is because the U.S. is requiring them to have stability. The stability for Iraq means them being able to work together and getting things done together. Since the beginning of last year they have not been able to form a government revealing to the world that they're not able to work together. Right now they still have to finish what's IMO the two items...the rate change is waiting on - would be these "special grades". The independent bodies is for the formation of the government. One of these as an example would be the Central Bank Governor. That's why his proxy term is only right now valid through July 15th. That's when he's out. The other item is the oil/budget numbers agreement between Kurdistan and Baghdad...both are now very close to being done within the next two weeks... Here we go again...!

  8. I listened to it, and agree it was very detailed. Will need to listen again, but he made some distinction on the rate based on whether or not they went global. I believe he said $.66 to meet their budget, but it could be more if they went global to get into western markets. Would love to hear other's take on it.

  9. Tuesday, June 30, 2020 Because of Corona ... new measures for the central bank to support the economic and productive sectors With the continuing economic repercussions caused by the Corona pandemic and the restrictions that imposed economic activity in most of the productive and service sectors and the decline in oil revenues, the Central Bank of Iraq decided to enhance the liquidity of the “existing projects” that were funded from the (one trillion) initiative in the amount of (5) million dinars for those wishing Thus, the project guarantees the same for administrative and interest-free commissions. The Central Bank also directed banks and guarantor companies to reduce interest from (4.8%) to (3.5%) for borrowers within the 1-20 million dinar segment and reduce the bank loan interest from the 21 million to 1 billion dinar segment after it was (6.3%) to become (4%) ). The Central Bank also directed banks to take into account projects related to the tourism, hotels and restaurants sectors whose recovery might be prolonged by considering postponing their premiums for a longer period until recovering from the pandemic crisis. https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/ar/Story/197754/بسبب-كورونا-إجراءات-جديدة-للبنك-المركزي-لدعم-القطاعات-الاقتصادية-والإنتاجية

  16. Specialists warn of the repercussions of the devaluation of the dinar Tuesday, June 30, 2020 Baghdad / Hussein Thugb Mustafa Al Hashemi At a time when reports have spoken that the government is considering reducing the value of the dinar against foreign currencies, as measures to confront the financial crisis caused by the decline in oil prices and the repercussions of (corona), a group of specialists in economic affairs confirmed that the reduction of the dinar price against the dollar is not based on objective grounds and cannot Its approval of the resulting damage to the Iraqi economy, the purchasing power of the citizenry, the strength of Iraqi bonds abroad and the country's credit rating. The economist reported Dr. Fadel Muhammad Jawad said that "the central bank has a direct relationship to the issue, as it is the financial and monetary adviser to the government, and therefore cannot be excluded from the process." He added that "the Iraqi-Jordanian Business Council (the owner of the proposal to reduce the value of the Iraqi dinar) - according to Jawad - will not be affected by the decline as it is affected by the citizen who lives inside Iraq, as he bears the results more than he who lives outside and deals in dollars and foreign currencies, not in the Iraqi dinar." Jawad called "the central bank and Iraqi economists inside the country to clarify their opinion on this sensitive issue that concerns the country and the citizen." For his part, the economic advisor to the Speaker of Parliament, Dr. Hammam Al-Shamaa, “The advocates of reducing the dinar’s exchange rate are not unaware of its inflationary effects, and the resulting social tensions will deepen the misallocation of income.” From selling foreign currencies when the exchange rate is lowered. " "They promise the government to increase an additional 60 billion dinars, and a total of 18 trillion dinars annually if the proposal is implemented, but they have forgotten that the cost of establishing a robust and strong social protection network for five million Iraqis without the poverty line, compensating 73 percent of retirees whose monthly income is less than 500 thousand dinars, and compensation for a million and a half million employees whose monthly income is less than 500 thousand dinars, will generate huge numbers of those who receive support because of this procedure, and whose value may reach the value of the amounts deposited due to the reduction. He noted that "the social protection network will be an ongoing case, as in the ration card program, which is 32 years old and no one dares to cancel it until now." Al-Shamaa stated that “the advocates of the reduction forgot the experience of printing and converting paper into a currency in the 1990s and how this printing weakened the purchasing power of the middle class,which turned into destitute had it not been for the adoption of the ration card program at the time”, pointing out that “reducing the dinar exchange rate is a process Quite similar to the printing of banknotes, in the end it means that the government wastes part of the purchasing power of people with fixed income and is ultimately an innovative way to deduct a portion of the employees ’salaries by 60 billion dinars per day, initially, as price relations soon create an upward inflation that falls on the poor.” . Al-Shamaa felt that "the advocates of the reduction are the beneficiaries to promote their local products, whether agricultural or industrial, and this is legitimate and we call for administrative and customs measures to reduce competition from the local product and not by reducing the exchange rate of the dinar." He pointed out that "the monetary policy drawn up and implemented by the central bank, whether in Iraq or in any country in the world is a policy independent of the will of the executive authority, without this implying the absence of coordination between the fiscal and monetary policies." And that "the exchange policy and its system is one of the most important pillars of monetary policy, and therefore the statement that the central has nothing to do with the exchange system indicates the lack of awareness of economic facts, just as saying that money is government money is a fallacy because the government and the monetary authority and the legislative and judicial authority are the components of the state Whose cornerstone is the people. " For his part, the economic researcher d. Ahmed Al-Husseini said, "It is not appropriate now to carry out a currency devaluation, especially since thinking about this measure coincides with the state of the global economic recession and the recession in the local economy." He explained that "devaluation of the currency in order to finance the fiscal deficit in the budget will have unforeseeable economic effects, especially the rise in the general level of prices due to increased inflation," noting that "the economy currently cannot tolerate such effects, as well as the effects of economic dumping on the market With goods that may be of poor quality due to the lack of a customs deterrent that might prevent this from being achieved, stressing, "The devaluation should not be the first line of confrontation for the financial crisis caused by the drop in oil prices and the effects of (corona)." link[/b]

  21. Your post of the President Trump balloon doesn’t help with the divisiveness Shabbs. The things you spew that you don’t like about Trump are exactly what you bring to this board everyday. Everyday you bring hate, divisiveness, stupid childish cartoons ( meant to aggravate) and a never ending exasperation of why why why do you people support Trump. Maybe you should take a closer closer look at the Dems candidate and examine how he wants to reshape America. These are just a few things the Dems support and a few things They have not denounced. Open Borders Sanctuary Cities Illegals allowed to vote Illegas receiving SS, and Free Medical Care, Free housing, and Food Stamps/CHIPS Removal of our 2nd Amendment Rights The Murder of unborn babies The Destruction of our Oil Businesses The gutting of our Military Over Regulation of our Businesses Over Taxation of our Businesses Vilifying people who have worked hard and made a buck Weaponizing the Inteligence Bureaus to drum up a Phony Russian Collusion Story A one sided Impeachment Trial of the President The use of words like Deplorables and Smelly Wal Mart people to describe about 40% of The USA Some things you never hear Dems denounce. Censorship of anything Conservative National Media inaccuracies and flat out lies The Looting and Rioting in our Cities The unlawful acts by Terror Groups like Antifa and BLM The Racist inflaming rhetoric spewed by those Terror Groups. Calling out those who fund those Terror Groups The absolute disrespectful attitude and acts against our Police The destruction of Monuments. I could add a lot more to both of my lists above but hopefully you get the point. Go ahead Shabbs, keep posting your cartoons while you and other Dems support the Systematic destruction of the Institutions, the Education, our Religion. the Rule of Law, the Business Environment, the Freedom of Speech, our Law Enforcement, our Military and anything else that made our country GREAT!!! Socialism, yes sir, that’s what the Dems are saying in public but read what BLM leaders are saying and what Antifa is doing and it gives you a pretty good indication of what the Dems have planned for America. Their silence of what these Terror Groups say and do speaks volumes of what they want and support. “ Summer of Love”. Not to the 5 people who have died in Seattle since CHOP was formed.

That’s why I have zero money Long Term and why I’m Day Trading and Swing Trading. With our Government 25T plus in debt how sustainable and how long can that behavior last. I personally think they are trying to Bankrupt the Country. Boeing going up 20 bucks today made no sense but I got on it and got some. Bursts and fits, it’s a Traders market.

  36. LINK Al-Bawi: Those who seek to establish the prestige of the state must preserve the sovereignty and airspace of Iraq and hold the corrupt accountable 08:30 - 30/06/2020 Political analyst Hazem Al-Bawi said Tuesday that whoever seeks to establish the prestige of the state must preserve the sovereignty and airspace of Iraq, hold the corrupt accountable, apply the law, and eliminate political deals. Al-Bawi told Al-Maalouma that it is "shameful that the government searches for preserving the prestige of the state on one side and leaves another aspect that is permissible or violated, as those who want to preserve the prestige of the state must stop the chaos in the provinces that caused the disruption of public life and completely paralyzed it." He added that "whoever wants to preserve and restore the prestige of the state, to throw the corrupt behind bars and to implement justice in the punishment of the thousands of slaughtered prisoners in five-star prisons amid the people's fear of smuggling them through political deals at the expense of the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent people." He pointed out that "who wants to accomplish the journey of preserving the prestige of the state, he must protect the atmosphere and land of Iraq from external violation in this miserable way, and that he intend to extend the prestige of the state to the border outlets, not to remain idle about preventing the Peshmerga from the anti-terrorist agency from reaching the 3 outlets Out of 20 outlets in Kurdistan.” And Al-Bawi said, “The people are awaiting the application of the law of parties and the law (from where do you get this) and the recovery of the stolen, smuggled and frozen funds in the banks of Kurdistan and other countries, not that the state will be unable to provide for the livelihood of its employees in front of international public opinion, so that its prestige will be lost and its credibility will be endangered? The people are waiting for their government to act, not to hide behind electronic armies made from distributing the employee’s salary a unique achievement.”

And preceded the visit of the delegation of the regional government, a visit by the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, in which he met the three presidencies, leaders of the forces and political bodies in Baghdad. And previously, the delegation of the regional government held two visits to the capital, Baghdad, after the previous federal government headed by Adel Abdul Mahdi stopped financing the salaries of employees and workers in the public sector in Kurdistan. The differences and pending issues between Erbil and Baghdad are based on the region’s share of financial budgets, peshmerga dues, oil exports, and the disputed territories covered by Article 140 of the permanent Iraqi constitution. The Kurdistan Regional Government has expressed, on numerous occasions and times, its willingness to deliver 250,000 barrels of crude oil per day in exchange for the Iraqi government’s funding of 450 billion Iraqi dinars in salaries per month.

  39. 6-30-2020 Newshound Guru Breitling ... There's two options on the table. To withdraw from the reserve or to add value to the currency. That's the main debate going on. So some of these guys in parliament are are like, 'let me get this straight, so if it's not $66 per barrel [oil] we're getting our asses kicked financially domestically inside of Iraq. But if we add value to our currency not only do we get to keep our reserve but if we get it high enough we can pay all of our salaries? There's actually a debate on whether we are going to use our reserve or add value to our currency?' That's how ridiculous it is...

  43. Exclusive from Gen. Flynn: If We Don't Act, 2% of the People Are About To Control the Other 98% Joseph Prezioso / AFP via Getty ImagesPolice officers in riot gear stand guard outside the State House in Boston on June 27, 2020. (Joseph Prezioso / AFP via Getty Images) By Michael Flynn Published June 29, 2020 at 11:01am I was once told if we’re not careful, 2 percent of the passionate will control 98 percent of the indifferent 100 percent of the time. The more I’ve thought about this phrase, the more I believe it. There is now a small group of passionate people working hard to destroy our American way of life. Treason and treachery are rampant and our rule of law and those law enforcement professionals who uphold our laws are under the gun more than at any time in our nation’s history. These passionate 2 percent appear to be winning. Despite there being countless good people trying to come to grips with everything else on their plates, our silent majority (the indifferent) can no longer be silent. If the United States wants to survive the onslaught of socialism, if we are to continue to enjoy self-government and the liberty of our hard-fought freedoms, we have to understand there are two opposing forces: One is the “children of light” and the other is the “children of darkness.” As I recently wrote, the art and exercise of self-governance require active participation by every American. I wasn’t kidding! And voting is only part of that active participation. Time and again, the silent majority have been overwhelmed by the “audacity and resolve” of small, well-organized, passionate groups. It’s now time for us, the silent majority (the indifferent), to demonstrate both. The trials of our current times, like warfare, are immense and consequences severe and these seem inconquerable. As a policewoman from Virginia told me, “People don’t feel safe in their homes and our police force is so demoralized we cannot function as we should. In my 23 years with my department, I have never seen morale so low.” Another woman from Mississippi told me that we need our leaders to “drop a forceful hammer. People are losing patience. It simply must be stopped! Laws MUST be enforced … no one is above the law.” Don’t fret. Through smart, positive actions of resolute citizen-patriots, we can prevail. Always keep in mind that our enemy (these dark forces) invariably have difficulties of which we are ignorant. Completing this poll entitles you to The Western Journal news updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. For most Americans, these forces appear to be strong. I sense they are desperate. I also sense that only a slight push on our part is all that is required to defeat these forces. How should that push come? Prayers help and prayers matter, but action is also a remedy. Our law enforcement professionals, from the dispatcher to the detective and from the cop to the commissioner, are a line of defense against the corrupt and the criminal. It is how we remain (for now) in a state of relatively peaceful existence. We must support them with all our being. They are not the enemy; they bring light to the darkness of night through their bravery and determination to do their jobs without fanfare and with tremendous sacrifice. The silent majority (the indifferent) tend to go the way of those leading them. We are not map- or mind-readers; we are humans fraught with all the hopes and fears that flesh is heir to. We must not become lost in this battle. We must resoundingly follow our God-given common sense. Seek the truth, fight for it in everything that is displayed before you. Don’t trust the fake news or false prophets; trust your instincts and your common sense. Those with a conscience know the difference between right and wrong, and those with courage will always choose the harder right over the easier wrong. I believe the attacks being presented to us today are part of a well-orchestrated and well-funded effort that uses racism as its sword to aggravate our battlefield dispositions. This weapon is used to leverage and legitimize violence and crime, not to seek or serve the truth. The dark forces’ weapons formed against us serve one purpose: to promote radical social change through power and control. Socialism and the creation of a socialist society are their ultimate goals. They are also intent on driving God out of our families, our schools and our courts. They are even seeking the very removal of God from our churches, essentially hoping to remove God from our everyday lives. Remember, we will only remain united as “one nation under God.” And yes, there is a “resistance movement” by the forces of darkness. However, we must also resist these onslaughts and instead take an optimistic view of our situation. Like war, optimism can be pervasive and helps to subdue any rising sense of fear. We must, however, be deliberate about our optimism. Otherwise, we may get lost in discouragement and despair of any failings we encounter. We must be tenacious in the ultimate end we wish to gain. That end is to remain an unwavering constitutional republic based on a set of Judeo-Christian values and principles. We must not fear these and instead embrace each. Our path requires course corrections. To move our experiment in democracy forward, we should fight and reject the tired and failed political paths and instead pursue a more correct path that shines a bright light on liberty, a path with greater and greater control of our livelihoods instead of being controlled by fewer and fewer of the too-long-in-power politicians. They have discarded us like old trash. Our will, our individual liberties and freedoms, remain powerful forces and must be understood and applied smartly. We must not be overly stubborn. Following the Constitution as our guide and adapting to change as we have throughout history, we learn more about what freedoms humans desire. At times, however, we have to fall back on what got us here. We cannot afford to lose our God-given human rights and the strong inner desire for freedom to choose and to breathe the fresh air of liberty. We must stand up and speak out to challenge our so-called “leaders” of government. We put them in charge; we can remove them as well. It is through our rights and privileges as American citizens that we challenge the political class and leverage our election process so “we the people” can decide who will govern. We must not allow a small percentage of the powerful to overtake our position on America’s battlefield. We, as free-thinking and acting individuals, must control how we will live and not allow a few passionate others to change our way of life. To the silent and currently indifferent majority: Wake up. America is at risk of being lost in the dustbin of history to socialism. The very heart and soul of America is at stake. In war, as in life, most failure comes from inaction. We face a pivotal moment that can change the course of history of our nation. We the people must challenge every politician at every level. We also must stand and support our law enforcement professionals: They are the pointy end of the spear defending us against anarchy. Now is the time to act. .

  44. Parliamentary finance talks about a risk that threatens the central bank's foreign currency reserves Bank 6 hours ago 00 less than a minute A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Ahmed Al-Saffar, said today, Monday, that the Central Bank of Iraq succeeded in light of the global crisis caused by the collapse of oil prices, while stressing that the window to sell the dollar currently constitutes a threat to the bank's reserves. Ahmed Al-Saffar said, “The value of what is sold from the dollar within the window of the Central Bank of Iraq is much greater than the proceeds from the sale of crude oil, given that the latter is the most important source of hard currency in the country, and therefore the window actually affects the monetary reserve despite the fact that this money goes on the basis of support Importers according to the official papers provided by banks that participate in the currency auction Al-Saffar added, “With a calculation between what is sold from the dollar through the currency, and what is received through selling the dollar, it reveals a big difference that really affects the cash reserve, but the latter, according to his policy, tries to maintain the dollar’s exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar, because any reduction It will raise the value of the dollar and reduce the dinar, and consequently, the prices will rise. He is trying to create a balance between the price of the dinar and the reserve value A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed that “the central bank is an independent institution, and it is not possible to interfere in its monetary policy. It succeeded in the last period because it maintained the rate of inflation and the exchange rate of the dollar after the collapse of international oil prices and its accompanying repercussions in the health crisis He pointed out that "the situation of Iraq is better than the neighboring countries, some of which collapsed currencies," noting that "the Central Bank policy is particularly good and made sure that people with limited incomes and those with daily wages are not affected by inflation or high prices in the markets."

  46. We didn’t make it to the 200 ema. Yesterday I said we were sitting on the 50 ema and if we breached it we would probably test the 200 ema. Well, we breached that 50 ema but we bounced higher off it on news that Boeing was going to start testing their jets. Boeing has a big influence on the DJ-30 with a percentage weighting of over 11. When Boeing goes up like it did today, over 20 bucks then the Dow goes up as does the Nasdaq and S&P Even though the charts were indicating down ( and we were doing so early on) this market is very News Driven, and Boeing provided the good news today. Earnings Season starts in less than 2 weeks. That will be a driving force for sure. Yes, I traded Boeing today from my laptop.
