  2. Iraqi dinars: Smart investment or smoke and mirrors? By Connie Thompson Published: Nov 10, 2011 at 7:57 PM PST Last Updated: Nov 11, 2011 at 8:13 AM PST Some people looking to cushion their retirement savings are getting tips about potential profits in foreign currency investments. One of the hottest currencies right now is the Iraqi dinar. Before the Iran-Iraq war broke out in 1980, one Iraqi dinar was worth more than $3 in U.S. currency. Today, one dinar is worth mere pennies. The investment theory is that once Iraq is stable, the dinar value will skyrocket, turning some people into instant millionaires. Type in the word "dinar" into an Internet search, and you'll find endless websites jumping at the chance to sell you any quantity of uncirculated dinar notes. Many brokers who sell the notes promote the huge profit you can make when the value of the dinar is eventually increased by as much as a thousand percent, or much more. But state and federal regulators warn dinar investment scams are pervasive. Many of the sellers are not registered as required. There's no official dinar value, so sellers set the price. Counterfeit dinars are a common problem. And you can only redeem dinars in Iraq. Then, there's the fact that revaluation may never happen. The state Department of Financial Institutions and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission say they get complaints from investors who lost their money. In some case, scam victims have discovered the real looking notes they paid for are fake. Brokers, financial advisors and economists warn that despite all protests to the contrary, investing in foreign currency - in this case devalued dinars - is highly speculative and extremely risky. If anyone promotes an Iraqi dinar investment (or any investment for that matter), as a having a guaranteed high return, you must accept the fact that there's a high probability you will never see your money again. There is no guarantee. And in the case of fraud or loss, you have no recourse. Bottom line: if you can't afford to lose it all, don't do it. Komonews.com Like someone else said, the government had to say something about it before it happened (RV) or there would be some really mad people out there.
  3. Bumper, The doctor put me on some blood pressure medicine that made my feet swell terribly......I knew it had to be the meds. because it was the only medicine I was on and I had just started it.......like going into a few weeks..........when I went to the doctors he told me that I was getting older and needed to wear these special socks......I thought "hey I'm getting old but not that old". lol Anyway I went home and looked my medicine up on the computer and found out that 1 out of 10 people got swollen feet and legs from these meds. Now if I totally trusted everything my doctor said I would have been dealing with this for the last 2 years. I had him change my medicine and have had no problems since. It's good to do the research because it's your life and no one will watch over you like yourself.......except the Lord, of course. My mom had pain in her neck for years, going down her arm...it was very painful......I had her taken off of a well known cholesterol pill and the pain was gone. All those years and her doctor never even considered the pain was caused from that. Go figure! KM

  7. * Christians fear for their lives after the withdrawal of U.S. troops NOVEMBER 12TH, 2011 11:45 AM · POSTED IN NEWS (IRAQ & WORLD CURRENCY) 11.12.2011 | (Voice of Iraq) – Add comments – Kirkuk (Iraq) – A expressed clerics and Iraqi Christians, yesterday, fearing the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, arguing that their future would be “unknown.” said the Archbishop of Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah for Christians Chaldean, Louis Sako, “according to the statistics obtained, the number of Christian martyrs in Iraq because of terrorist acts Talthm after 2003, there were 905 martyrs in the whole of Iraq.” He pointed out that “Before 2003 we were so up to million people, but now it left us about half a million distributors in the northern governorates and Baghdad. ” In turn, predicted the Deacon Church of the Virgin Mary Anwar John Aziz “to return kidnappings against the Christian component, in order to pay the ransom, for their release.” “We will leave U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, a void, (especially with) the lack of understandings between the political parties after the American withdrawal, which will be the logic of force and weapons is Faisal. ” , said Saljoh when Georgis, a service agent “fear of the stage after the American withdrawal, our future unknown we do not know what will happen to us, most of my relatives went abroad and my family think this is also if returned spiral also realize again. ” In turn, said Laura Hanna, Mark, “I will leave always at the university completely after the withdrawal of U.S. forces, because of the fear of the security situation the stable. “ LINK
  8. Since Obamacare’s Passage, Millions Have Lost Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance 4:42 PM, NOV 11, 2011 • BY JEFFREY H. ANDERSONSingle PagePrintLarger TextSmaller TextAlerts Throughout the Obamacare debate, President Obama repeatedly promised, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.” Now, Gallup reports that from the first quarter of 2010 (when Obama signed Obamacare into law) to the third quarter of this year, 2 percent of American adults lost their employer sponsored health insurance. In other words, about 4.5 million Americans lost their employer-sponsored insurance over a span of just 18 months. This is not what the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had predicted would happen. Rather, the CBO had predicted that Obamacare would increase the number of people with employer-sponsored insurance by now. It had predicted that, under Obamacare, 6 million more Americans would have employer-sponsored insurance in 2011 than in 2010 (see table 4, which shows the CBO’s projected increase of 3 million under (pre-Obamacare) current law and an additional 3 million under Obamacare). So the CBO’s rosy projections for Obamacare (and even these paint a frightening picture) are already proving false. Whether the decline in employer-sponsored insurance over the past 18 months is a product of Obamacare or of the Obama economy — and whether Obamacare is the principal cause of the anemic performance of the Obama economy — can be debated. But what’s clear is that, more than 25 months before Obamacare would really go into effect — if it’s not repealed first — employers are already dropping employees from their insurance rolls. Take Walmart, for example — a prominent Obamacare supporter. Gallup writes, “The nation's largest private employer, Wal-Mart, announced in October that new part-time employees who work less than an average of 24 hours a week would no longer be able to get their health insurance from the company. Wal-Mart laid out several other cuts to its health insurance offerings, including some workers’ ability get coverage for their spouses. Other companies have already made and will likely continue to make similar changes to their health insurance benefits…. “If Wal-Mart's decision is a precursor of how employers intend to manage their healthcare costs, the downward trend in employer-based healthcare will likely continue.” So in addition to costing about $2.5 trillion over its real first decade (2014 to 2023), looting nearly $1 trillion from Medicare over that time (according to the CBO), forcing Americans to buy government-approved health insurance under penalty of law, and amassing unprecedented power and money in Washington at the expense of Americans’ liberty — if Obamacare stays on the books, you may like your health care plan, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you can keep your health care plan. www.weeklystandard.com

  10. What did Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common? They took care of the illegals in the right manner = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback Three Presidents did it, yet we never hear about it. What did Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common? Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.. Harry Truman deported over two million Illegals after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans. And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican Nationals! The program was called 'Operation *******'. It was done so WWII and Korean Veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took 2 Years, but they deported them! Now...if they could deport the illegals back then - they could sure do it today. lf you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter Operation ******* into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself. Reminder: Don't forget to pay your taxes... 20 million Illegals depend on you!

  15. Dinar is equal to the dollar Palm - Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of the appearance of Mohammed Saleh: that the bill includedproposals for a new currency and the groups that carried and details of technical and economic. Saleh pointed out during the permit media to switch the currency and the deletion of zeros decision taken by the executive branch and approved by the legislature, and that the project will not be implemented hastily, but will be taken among other factors to consider before you start to implement it, including the date of the financial year and the strength of the national economy, among other indicators in the favor of the view that This law, if approved, will have a positive impact on the Iraqi currency in several aspects of the need during the next phase, which will strengthen the value of the Iraqi currency. He described the favor of a system of cash payments of the current Iraqi regime miserable, noting that the largest denomination in which value does not exceed twenty dollars, stressing that the deletion of zeros will enhance the value of the Iraqi currency, and reduces the cost of handling cash, currency should its current estimated size of today Petrlionat dinars, making the process of dealing monetary cost is high. And the concerns of rigging the new currency in the event made or it will affect negatively on the economicsituation, responded in favor of: that it reflects the look bleak, do not forget that there are other countries in deciding to switch its currency and dropped them zeros, such as Turkey, Romania and Brazil, without being of its economy to shocks and thus Iraq is not engaged in unknown waters or walking on the road did not knock him one before is likely to include the new currency for the population of the coin by the paper. The increased zeroes on the Iraqi dinar to the days of inflation, which came on the value of the Iraqi currency as a result of previous wars and the subsequent economic blockade was over, the currency of Iraq to the paper was printing the former regime, issued in large quantities without the cover, while the Iraqi dinar until the mid-eighties equivalent of more than three U.S. dollars. But the adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Abdullah Hussein Al-Anbuge said in a press statement: that corruption is rampant in state institutions and the low level of efficiency and economic situation in general at this time not in favor of lifting of the zeroes. He pointed to what he said that he was pitfalls will change the currency, and the deletion of zeros, including the risk of fraud and increasing the demand for goods for reasons of fake due to payment of dinars instead of a thousand dinars, as now, explaining that the re-printing of new currency will have the costs of expensive, stressing that attempts will be made to convince the bank Central plans to slow down in this regard. Previously, the President of the Iraqi Securities Commission confirmed that, earlier, that the deletion of zeros from the Iraqi currency will not affect trading in the Iraqi Stock Exchange and its shares The director of a money transfer companies externally Sami Rashid: I think that lifting the zeros from the currencywill increase confidence in the currency, and will lead to increased purchasing power of citizens, and the phenomenon of trading blocs will drop large cash used by Iraqis since the nineties. He believed economic analyst Talal Jassim said the switch of the Iraqi currency a necessary but pointed to the need to provide the conditions necessary for its implementation, particularly the security and political stability, adding that the relative stability of the Iraqi currency after the issuance of currency recently, and the result of the return link Iraq to the global economy and the availability of reserves of foreign currency due to oil exports , encouraged the Central Bank to consider the deletion of zeros. Jassim added that the lifting of the zeroes of the three will lead to an exchange rate of one dollar per dinar to Jasim, who called to the need to follow the policies of peaceful citizens and to persuade them to get used for a period not exceeding two years. http://www.nakhelnews.com/pages

  21. NOAH TODAY . In the year 2011, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in America and said: "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over -populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans." He gave Noah the blueprints, saying: "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights." . Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark. "Noah!," He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?" "Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed." "I needed a Building Permit." . "I've been arguing with the Boat Inspector about the need for a sprinkler system." . "My neighbors claim that I've violated the Neighborhood By-Laws by building the Ark in my backyard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Homeowner’s Association for a decision." . "Then the City Council and the Electric Company demanded a shed load of money for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it." . "Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the Spotted Barn Owl." "I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!" . "When I started gathering the animals the ASPCA took me to court. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodations were too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space." . "Then the Environmental Protection Agency ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood." . "I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Department of Labor on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew." . "Immigration is checking the Visa status of most of the people who want to work." . "The trade unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience." "To make matters worse, the Internal Revenue Service seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species without paying taxes on them, and now Homeland Security has put me on the list as a possible terrorist using animals to hide Weapons of Mass Destruction." . "So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark." "Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky." Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?" "No," said the Lord. "The Government beat me to it."
  22. It wasn't from DinarVets. I haven't received an email from Adam in a while......km
