When the government tries to control or decrease the amount of money sold in the auction, the market rate will go out of the 2% compliance on the spread. The only way to decrease the amounts at the auction and stay in compliance would be to move from IMF Article XIV into VIII and make the Dinar internationally traded. That gives way for less need for a hard currency.

With all due respect you are still bending things to support your views. You’re a hater, I get that but don’t even try to convince me that the Dems are correct on just about any issue because they are not. My friend you are a parrot and common sense would tell you that the Dem policies are not good for America, they just don’t work. Our country wasn’t built by whinny, lazy entitled people but that’s what we have become under your party’s policies. I guess I will have to be done with you because you have your views and I have mine, I’m not going to change and you won’t either. This has become a colossal waste of my time. I was mildly amused but now I’m just bored with it and your constant hatred of our President. Have a nice life. BTW that’s not me giving you red rubies

From a closed market economy to an open market economy..... coming soon Go end of exchange control Go real market value Go purchasing power

Are Americans working for free. They will get paid. Is the shutdown hurting the economy. Not yet. Are farmers hurt by tariffs. For a short while but China is buying MORE soybeans now than before tariffs. Is Issis defeated. No but they are lowered to just small groups. Unlike during Obama when they were taking over Iraq if America leaves NATO it will hurt our Allies. We are not leaving Nato. They are paying more than ever. Is Nort Korea still a threat. Yes but they are not firing missles over Japan and we haven’t paid them off like Obama You tell half truths to fit your Democratic agenda. Why won’t your Democratic leaders grow up and negotiate in good faith with President Trump. Why is everything with the Democrats NO and Resistance. Your leaders are garbage

Do liberals have their head in a cloud, yep. Are liberals blinded by their unabated hatred for President Donald J Trump? Yep

House Democrats File Bill to Force All Americans to Fund Abortions NATIONAL STEVEN ERTELT JAN 16, 2019 | 12:35PM WASHINGTON, DC What a difference a party makes. When pro-life Republicans controlled the House of Representatives, they passed legislation to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business and to ban late-term abortions. Now that Democrats are in control of the House, they’ve already passed a bill to fund Planned Parenthood’s International abortion agenda. And the next item on their list is forcing all Americans to fund abortions here in the United States: But a brand new poll finds most Americans oppose funding abortions with taxpayer dollars. A new national poll conducted by Marist University finds an overwhelming majority of Americans support restrictions on abortion and would like Roe v. Wade reinterpreted to allow restrictions on abortions. By a double-digit margin, a majority of all Americans oppose any taxpayer funding of abortion (54 percent to 39 percent). In addition, the survey found that three-quarters (75 percent) of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion abroad, fewer than two in 10 (19 percent) support such funding. Opposition to this funding includes most Republicans (94 percent) and independents (80 percent) and a majority of Democrats (56 percent).

Good afternoon DinarVets, and welcome to the weekly! I love days like today, where I can just hop right into the MEAT. As much as we all hate "I told you so's", here are a couple. Headlines from the past couple days include: 1. BREXIT. When this was first brought up in 2016, I voiced my opinion that it wouldn't be successful and not to worry about it. As of this morning, it looks like the whole thing was a huge waste of time and is going nowhere... time will tell, but I could have told you that as well. 2. Did you catch my update last week? One of my talking points was oil, the price per barrel, and Iraq's sneaky but convenient exception to the ongoing limitations on production by OPEC members. Just look at these headlines... "Could Oil Prices Rise By $25 Per Barrel In 2019?" "Kuwait National: $ 65 Brent crude average during 2019 and 2020 " " Oil Markets Could See Deficit In 2019 The oil supply surplus is “starting to reverse,” according to a new report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch." (the word "deficit" is a good thing here ) "Heavy Crude: From Glut To Shortage - Jan 15, 2019, 5:00 PM CST" ("Shortage" is another good word for us right now) " Oil rises with hopes of a better market under OPEC-led cuts " ... and so on. Here's the thing, folks... this is the situation that Iraq wants. This writing is on the wall, in the headlines, and it's heading towards RV time. Iraq can read the headlines just as well as we can, so for now we just hang on tight. Oil is at $52.18 right now, and for scientific discussion purposes, I have painstakingly explained below what I'd like to see happen in this market: What more can I say at this point? 2019 is cruising along nicely for us, and as long as you're in VIP with me... you're ready just like me and a boatload of other DV members! Here's the weekly Q's: Possibly. Our VIP options in Mexico seem to change on a daily basis, and I keep an updated database of what is safe, reliable, and viable. If I say "yes" today, it could be "no" next week, so I won't give a commitment on that question until the time is here. In a roundabout way it does, because global events always have some impact.... so, yes. But it doesn't merit any concern for us at this time. I am midway through writing a post on exactly that topic. I'll wrap it up soon and send out an email. For now, my simple answer - I don't think it's likely that they will take the first approach. More on that later. ================ That'll do it for now! Hang on tight everyone, when the nuts and bolts of my picture above come into play, it looks like we're ready for blast off. GOOO RRRVVVVVVV!!! - Adam

Iraq's top officials agree to postpone gov't completion: Binna'a Coalition MP Mithaq al-Hamedi said on Thursday that a high-level meeting between the Iraq's president, prime minister, and parliament speaker agreed to postpone the completion of the government until the next legislative term. The three officials agreed on Wednesday to adjourn the completion of the government formation in order to enable the political blocs to finalize the law of the 2019 budget, Hamedi said, describing the budget law as "the most important joint file in the work of the state." Parliamentary finance committee member Mahasen Hamdoun on Wednesday said that the national budget law for the year 2019 will be finalized and submitted to the parliament within ten days. The finance committee is still discussing the law of the general budget with the relevant governmental committee, Hamdoun said, adding that no decision has been taken yet to change the articles of the budget law https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/Story/35286/Iraq-s-top-officials-agree-to-postpone-gov-t-completion-MP

Chinese Power Play Could Threaten Taiwan’s Energy Industry Jan 17, 2019, 12:00 PM CST Join Our Community Ever since Tsai Ing-wen was elected as Taiwan’s president in 2016 as head of the pro-independence ruling party, tensions between China and Taiwan have escalated to multi-decade extremes. Before her election, relations between the two sides had reached a new era of conciliation or, as Beijing would like to call it, reconciliation during the administration of President MaYing-jeou, a Beijing-leaning bureaucratic that seemed prepared to allow the merging of the two sides through economic cooperation. Now that Tsai has been in office nearly three years, cross-strait relations can arguably be called the worst since 1979 when China stopped firing artillery barrages across the strait at Taiwanese outlaying islands. However, Beijing hasn’t been satisfied with just a war of words lately but it is backing up its oft-saber rattling by conducting naval war games close to the Taiwanese coast as well as sending bomber sorties near or even into Taiwanese air space. This stepped-up tactic of using the stick instead of the carrot fits all too well with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s more muscular approach in the Asia-Pacific region. Soon after becoming president in 2012, Xi pledged to not militarize the numerous islands, reefs and formations that it occupied, or in the case of Scarborough Shoal in the Philippines’ own UN-mandated 200 natural mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), it seized after a tense standoff between Chinese naval and maritime vessels and a less equipped Philippine navy. But in the ensuing years, Beijing has not only broken Xi’s promise, it has upped the ante to a dangerous level, by enforcing its ill-founded claim to around 90 percent of the South China Sea, based on historical claims, something that other rival claimants can also promulgate, particularly Vietnam which reportedly has ancient maps and documents backing its overlapping South China Sea claims. Coming full circle Now, Taiwan is stating that it will not bow to Chinese pressure for international support against what it calls Beijing’s “out-of-control actions”, a Taiwanese presidential spokesman said on Thursday, after Beijing urged companies to change the way they refer to the self-ruled island. Alex Huang, the spokesman for the Taiwanese president told reporters in Taipei that as for China’s related out-of-control actions, we need to remind the international community to face this squarely and to unite efforts to reduce and contain these actions. The power of words The Chinese state-run Legal Daily reported on Wednesday, citing a report released by Chinese government think tanks, that U.S. companies including tech heavyweights Apple and Google had erred and wrongly labeled Taiwan and should take immediate action to correct their mistake. This is not the first time that Beijing has lashed out at Western companies over how they refer to Taiwan. Last year, Beijing put considerable pressure on U.S. airlines on how they refer to Taiwan, asking them, actually forcing them, to refer to Taiwan as “China Taiwan.” Related: Oil May Never Return To The Triple-Digits According to a Washington Post article in July, American Airlines wiped Taiwan from its website, and United Airlines said it was working to meet China’s requirements. The kowtow by the American-based airlines came three months after Beijing ordered dozens of foreign airlines to refer to the island (Taiwan) as a Chinese territory or face consequences in the world’s second-largest aviation market. The same week, the Post report added, Chinese users could no longer see the name “Taiwan” on a map of Asia on the American Airlines website, while China, Japan and the Koreas remained. https://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/Asia/Chinese-Power-Play-Could-Threaten-Taiwans-Energy-Industry.html

Wait, what, this can’t be. BA said ISIS is real dangerous and now the Iranian leader says Iraq defeated them. Who do I believe. Hahahahaha. Lighten up folks.

I agree with you Shabbs but You can’t misquote what I wrote or the context. You did. Just another example of how you and BA bend your truth to meet your agenda. I write a lot of stuff tongue in cheek to show a preposterous exaggerated view of a situation. Do I truly believe if you dropped a few the immigration problem would go away NO, and I stated in that post it was a drastic approach. It’s so typical of you hysterical Dems. You guys go hysterical over everything. Do you not think for one moment Trump isn’t jacking with you Dems. Of course he is and So am I most of the time.

I don’t take you seriously and your truth is well, it’s your truth. I don’t agree with about 80% of what you write.

Stricken with Pneumonia, Ruth Bader Ginsburg Cancels Event Set for January 29, 2019 The 85 year old cancer survivor fights for her life after contracting Pneumonia Share Tweet2 Comments January 15, 2019 US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Develops Pneumonia, which is generally a death sentence post surgery Update, 1/16/19: Justice Ginsburg today cancelled a public appearance set for January 29, 2019, as she remains in a hospital fighting Pneumonia. The elderly judge appears to be nearing the end of her life, as the Trump administration asks allies for suggestions to replace her. Jan 29 in LA - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Cancels Public Appearance in Los Angeles Set for January 29 https://t.co/ilYdXI05NHvia @gatewaypundit As any reader of the Santa Monica Observer knew last September, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed lung cancer. The 85 year old Supreme Court Justice had surgery as quietly as possible on December 22, 2018. Following surgery, she has developed complications including pneumonia. Pneumonia often afflicts elderly post surgery patients in the US, since antibiotics have resulted in Multi Resistant Strains of the lung infection. The left and the main stream media have tried to put on a brave face as Ginsburg missed three straight days of argument this week, interviewing cancer doctors to say that she would recover. They claimed that she was working in her hospital room, knowing that it was untrue. https://www.smobserved.com/story/2019/01/07/politics/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-will-retire-from-the-us-supreme-court-in-january-2019/3658.html

This list is all fine but you all forget who we all are dealing with. The same group that brought us " Pass it then read it." They will agree to the money and even half the list. Potus will say o.k. The shutdown will end. Then instead of enacting the bills and passing them, the Dems will stall and claim POTUS is weak. This is what compromise means to the Democratic Party. Take and no give. Mr. President... Do your job. Enforce the laws Congress passed.

Camel dung..... for american cannabis crops.....

I would like to say that I'm stunned this is something that ANYONE would make an issue of, BUT I'M NOT. The American Embassy in Iraq is the Largest American Embassy in the world. Thus it would of a necessity be maned by the largest complement of personnel in the world. Personnel that are only going to serve a max of 18 months in country before being reassigned. Personnel that naturally come with thousands of pounds of personal belongings. Belongings that must needs be shipped when said personnel are reassigned. Upper Echelon and High ranking personnel at an Embassy like Iraq might even have there families with them and thus have there own family housing quarters. The average weight of a families household goods would be between 10,000 to 15,000 pounds. All of which would have to be shipped with the family at the time of the Embassy Personnel being reassigned. Such Upper Echelon personnel don't always come back to the United States upon reassignment but would request, as a career enhancement, to be moved to another Embassy with seemingly more status. IE. Norway. These shipments for the most part are most likely nothing more than the personal belongings of the Embassy staff. And from some of the wording of the article I STRONGLY suspect that the author knows this.
