  1. Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... RON *** Mnt Goat Article: "AL-KAZEMI AFFIRMED THAT IRAQ WILL RETURN TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE AND ITS COVENANT KNOWN FOR ITS STRENGTH AND HUMAN AND GLOBAL PRESENCE" - We appreciate when these politicians talk about “global” presence or anything international. It shows they are thinking on the right track. Remember just 5 years ago this was not the case. *** Mark [Q? : What’s the news in Iraq , did they vote?] We are hearing from the 2 largest blocks who rarely agree on anything…that they have agreed and have things fixed…so guess we buckle up and watch this one…. I think a lot of it is just for show as we move forward. *** Sandy Ingram Learning how to improve your financial portfolio is a wise way to spend our time. For instance, what if the IQD floated to .25 cents next week or next month? If you had 1 million Iraqi dinar to exchange - What would do with $250,000 to build your wealth? There are hundreds of different answers to his question...research is always up to you... *** Mnt Goat ...I must tell you what the CBI and the US Treasury are telling me. They are waiting for the govt to be formed, hoping that the Iranian influence will be under control and have the least impact on Iraqi politics. Also that the Sadr anti-corruption policies work.

  2. FINANCE COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES OIL PRICE IN DRAFT OF IRAQI BUDGET LAW PM:10:31:06/04/2022 1156 View SULAIMANI — The finance committee in the Iraqi parliament said on Wednesday (April 6) the price of oil has been set at $75 per barrel in the draft of the 2022 federal budget law. Mashaan Jabouri, a member of the finance committee, told Iraqi News Agency (INA) the figure was reasonable considering the rise in the oil price on international markets. Jabouri said it was not logical economically to reduce the value of the dollar against the dinar, adding the government, the minister of finance and the Central Bank of Iraq believe the low value of the dinar poses a risk to the Iraqi economy long-term. The Iraqi government and the Central Bank of Iraq instituted changes in December 2020 that brought down the value of the dinar and the exchange rate in relation to dollars, from 118,000 IQD to $100 to the rate of 145,000 IQD. He stated issues with the food security law currently being discussed in parliament would delay the approval of the 2022 budget, adding the law would provide emergency funds that the government couldn’t touch. The Iraqi government has struggled to deal with protests over mounting food costs, announcing a suspension to the customs duties on food products and monthly stipends to aid pensioners and low-income civil servants. The Iraqi Ministry of oil announced on Saturday more it exported more than 100 million barrels of oil at above $11 billion in March, the highest level since 1972. Oil exports account for above 90 percent of Iraq’s income. The current price of oil on the international market as of April 6 stands at $101 per barrel. Prices have risen steadily since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war. (NRT Digital Media) https://nrttv.com/En/detail6/3056

  5. As much as I hate to say it, (my opinion only); Just wait a few days for the DOJ to appeal this lower court decision, seeking to overturn and or place an injunction. The Dems are grasping at straws, as the mid-terms approach and will try anything to keep January 6 alive. Just sayin ......... Semper Fi

  7. The so called COVID pandemic has been very revealing and potentially telling of future events. I had COVID twice. Once in January of 2020 and once in March of 2021. Although testing was not available in January of 2020, the symptoms later published indicated I had the COVID original strain. I convalesced for three days. I was fatigued so I slept a lot. I really did not have body aches. I had a fever with chills for a couple hours the third night that broke easily. I had a bland taste for a day. I had a very thin and light lung excretion for about 3 weeks. Usually, when I get sick like this, I don't feel like eating and make myself eat. All of this I got over with without and medication or medical assistance. I tested positive for COVID in March of 2021 - likely the DELTA variant of COVID. I convalesced for 2 days, had fatigue, had body aches, and some controllable intestinal issues. I do not know of any lasting effects from having COVID. I had no medical attention or took any medications. All my relatives that got COVID got over it without medical attention. I will not, not ever will I, receive a COVID vaccination. I witnessed, however, a fairly wide ranging public adverse response to COVID and COVID measures. Seems like the Chinese Communist Party have not only stole The United States Of America Citizen's Intellectual Property Rights but, more critically, The United States Of America Citizen's ability to Critically Think and act accordingly. The antics of the hysteria prone, panic stricken, intellectual miscreants, and diabolically evil were epic during the so called COVID pandemic. Gee, the government is lying to me so I better do what the government says I should do or they will take away my freedom. So, I better get the mRNA COVID vaccination to maintain my rights so I do not have to wear a mask and travel where ever I want. For now. The reports are showing consequences of the mRNA vaccination. My opinion is the mRNA vaccination consequences would have been more publically recognized by now. The people I know who have received the mRNA COVID vaccination have regretted done so. They tell me specific body changes they have experienced after having received the mRNA COVID vaccination. It isn't good. A coworker reported an elderly friend has two sons who are doctors. They all are (or have been) advocates of the COVID vaccinations. One of the doctors who had a the COVID vaccination some time later had a seizure so severe that both his shoulders where wrenched from their sockets. He also had a broken finger bone. Yeah, one of the side effects of getting the COVID vaccination. I have had people go beserkers telling me to get the COVID vaccination. Ranging from people I know to be hysteria prone to people I would trust for their advice. I have no idea why common sense is being dispensed in the name of COVID. I am now seeing reports the COVID unvaccinated have brain damage and heart inflammation. What a lie. The COVID vaccinations are creating the problems noted not COVID infections and recovery. While the COVID vaccinated are still getting COVID at nominally the same or greater rate than the non COVID vaccinated. This is in no way an indictment of anyone who has received COVID vaccinations. I am concerned for them, though. The Israelis are one of the highest per capita COVID vaccinated. My heart goes out to them. Having suffered genocide, they should not be allowed to commit fratricide. As much as the Liberals and Progressives are intent on destroying Our Republic, they, too, are self eliminating by receiving the COVID vaccinations. And, still getting COVID. At, nominally, the same or greater frequency than the non COVID vaccinated. Make no mistake, I do not want to see the COVID vaccinated of whatever political views to suffer from the COVID vaccinations. What I fear is the so called COVID pandemic and subsequent individual actions will be used as a lever for a soft Communist or Socialist revolution. Guns and ammo will not prevail in a biologically driven attrition of The United States Of America Citizens. Likely not this year or the next but five to ten years down the road. There may be compounding effects to accelerate the soft Communist or Socialist revolution. People dependent on Health Care. People dying. More hysteria prone, panic stricken, intellectual miscreant, and diabolically evil people being the Saul Alinsky type useful idiots. This may or may not have an impact on our investment. Time will tell. Hopefully, I am wrong about the COVID vaccination effects and the potential for being a ploy for a soft Communist or Socialist Revolution. The ground work has been laid more securely with the public response to COVID considerations. Common Sense and Critical Thinking are most necessary in these times while I trust the hysteria prone, panic stricken, intellectual miscreants, and diabolically evil will see they are being used as pawns and will be expended at the soft Communist and Socialist completion. Except, they come to their senses. For the ardent Communist and Socialist, they are expended for the next Communist or Socialist regime. A concern I have is for the Christian leaders who have received and, especially, have recommended the COVID vaccination(s). My opinion is they will be disciplined for not knowing and helping to avert the ensuing crisis likely to occur from the COVID vaccination(s) since COVID has a very low mortality rate for the non COVID vaccinated. All the while, when the COVID vaccination effects become known, the non believing will look to the Christians and ask why the Christians did not take a stand to let everyone know the deception involved with COVID and COVID vaccinations. A valid concern. I suspect this will initiate even more unwarranted skepticism of The Bible and the TRUTH of The Bible. Even potentially resulting in persecution of and violence toward Christians. Not something I want to see for myself or others without regard to whether or not a Christian has received any one of the COVID vaccinations. Hard to say if what I am seeing here is real at all. Maybe time will tell.

  9. Luigi found this article of Dinarian interests... Al Kazemi says a mouthful. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. MntGoat: Aricle: "Al Kazemi affirmed that Iraq will return to it's rightful place & it's covenant known for it's strengths & human global presence". We appreciate it when these politicians talk about "GLOBAL" anything, international. It shows they are thinking on the right track. Remember, just five years ago, this was not the case.

  10. Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... RON *** Pimpy Can actions of Russia help increase the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar? Oh yeah it could! It absolutely could bring the rate back to where it was in the past...What did Russia do that could help Iraq increase the value of the Iraqi dinar? They moved into the gold standard...through the sale of their oil... Article: "Russia sets fixed gold price as it restarts official bullion purchases" What does this mean? [post 1 of 3....stay tuned] *** Pimpy ...You cannot buy Russian oil unless you use the Russian ruble. Right now around the world they use...the Petrodollar. In other words the United States dollar. Russia and China had already agreed to start doing trade in their own currencies. Saudi Arabia is agreeing to sell oil to China and Russia in their currencies and getting away from the greenbacks...these people are...moving us back into the gold standard...that's going to strengthen the currency which is going to be strengthened by its gold and the gold is going to come from the sale of oil. So what does that have to do with the Iraqi dinar? [post 2 of 3....stay tuned] *** Pimpy ...What Iraq and OPEC should do is the same thing...We already saw the Russian ruble was devalued right when they got put under sanctions but in less than a month it has already regained all of the value it had lost. What do you think is going to happen to the currency now that's it's moved into the gold standard? It's only going to get stronger...if you force people to buy the oil using...the Iraqi dinar then it's going to increase the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar. It's going to make it a stronger currency because more gold is coming in, more people are forced to use the currency - think supply and demand. Demand for the Iraqi dinar would increase big time...they should follow in the footsteps of what Russia is doing. [Post 3 of 3] *** Mnt Goat You can clearly see on the chart below what the rate of the IQD was in 1972. Today Iraq’s economy is actually much better and pumping more oil now than in 1972. The price of oil is also staying at records high today while in 1972 oil was very low. This article only gives us yet more proof that the rate of the IQD is being artificially manipulated.

  19. I know your pain. Before one of my sons went to college he was my SCUBA buddy, road and dirt bike buddy, hiking buddy, etc. We shared a lot of activities. I was an umpire for the league so I could spend time with both of my boys. Photographer for both their football teams. Gave him one of my favorite street bikes so he could get plates from the state he went to school so he wouldn't get harassed by police. He believed in God as Jesus Christ. His biggest complaint was when I dropped hic or his brother off I always demanded a hug and told them I loved 'em, and he was embarrassed in front of the High School. I was worried after visiting him during his second year when he announced God was a "good principle" and an effective support for "some people". Almost killed myself paying tuition and the credit card I put in his name. He hasn't spoken to me since the day he graduated. No explanation, won't talk about it to anyone, not even his brother. It's been six years now, he blocked my phone, we used to play World of Warcraft online after I divorced his mom, the three of us spent many hours chatting, questing, and raiding. He deleted me as a friend. I realize he's heavily influenced by his mom, who's still angry I left, but the obvious major shift was his "higher" education. I know how it is in school, so many professors are far more concerned about being the Alpha/Omega than curriculum, and the loudest activists are also the lowest performers, who then decide to find their fame in agenda. I keep reminding myself that if a person is under 30 and not a democrat they have no heart, and if they're not a republican over 30 they don't have a brain. The problem with him is he's an engineer, he gave into the "dark" side, and is as arrogant and elitist as any other engineer, which means he might admit he's wrong if the science proves, but for anything else it's a long shot. He won't admit it to anyone, but I'm betting he's too scared to talk to me, because I have a science degree also, and he knows he might have to change his mind when presented with truth logic. All you can do is pray for them. Wokism is spreading so fast mainly due to the governments deep pockets. Companies feel like they have to embrace the whole dynamic if they expect to feed at that trough. I've talked to several who have had to at least pretend to be leftist at work just to be able to keep a low profile. My friends still active military are forced to undergo continuous diversity training, they can't talk about a lot of it publicly or they face charges, and most of them have well over 15 years invested, they can't loose the pension they've spent their life working for. It's only going to get worse before it gets better. If America survives the next two years it will ONLY be through the Grace of God.

When your time is over on this earth, he will be the one with regrets and thats going to hurt more than anything. Arguing in front of the kids, if you did at all before the divorce and your wife wanting sympathy and expressing that to your kids could have flipped a switch in his mind to be angry with you. All you can do is, keep reminding him, about your true feelings and that you miss him and your in pain because of it. Please forgive me. Hang in there, he loves you no matter what!
