It's good to bring home the bacon! Suggestion for a contest theme song... "There's a sty in my eye, my new home in the sky, and if pigs sure could fly, That's Amore...."

The guess is 3456.

Why is it that everytime I see a post by DinarThug, I think of a Stephen King movie?

You left out the most famous one of all.... "Squeal like a piggy for me...." (Deliverence)

Post facts not assumptions. Unfortunately, that is not SOP on this posting site. (Just saying)

I want to pose a hypothetical question to the population on this web site regarding the upcoming presidential election. "How do you think we can best elect the right person as our leader?" I have a suggestion. In the interest of saving billions of dollars in election handouts, political favors and listening to endless drivel about squabbling in primary debates, I propose we enact a 21st century solution that will allow us to accurately and definitively know who to choose to be the leader of our country based on our morals and beliefs. I propose we make it manditory for every presidential candidate to participate in the electoral version of "Big Brother". At first, you may think this is a hair-brained, silly idea. But think about it... do you really want another person in the White House that says one thing and does another? Do you want to know if they are really that deceiving or coniving? Wouldn't you want to know how they really will react to get what they want to to succeed at a challenge? I think this might be the best way to really learn about the person behind the political position and see what is truly there. For some folks, they will be drooling over watching Palin and Bachmann go at it. Others will want to see if Gingrich is as tough as he appears and be the bully to Obama. I, for one, want to see what America wants them to eat each week if they fail to achieve a concensus on a challenge. Its not as if we would be radically changing the process as it exists. Ultimately, it is the one who impresses us the most that we vote for after staged debates, kissing babies and barnstorming an area for a brief period of time to earn electoral votes to be nominated as a party choice. My idea is to let each state call/text their vote to an 866 number each week and obtain their poling info this way, thus eliminating a candidate each week until election week. Candidates may have unlimited time to blog from their one way computer (outgoing) as well as express their views during the nightly telecast while competing in creative, entertaining stunts/competitions for the viewing audience. We will see who can compromise, who will stab the other in the back, who will sleep with another and who can succeed without having to lie, cheat or corrupt someone. Either way... we know what we are getting. It will be the most watched thing on the boob tube and has to beat the fall line up from the major networks. Any comments or new suggestions are always welcome.

My party starts 24 hours after I cash in. Anybody interested in Vegas..Baby??

From looking through and READING the entire document, this bulletpoint (section 64), was pertinent to Chapter VII being lifted upon completion. Here is a copy from the third reading on the UNAMI recommendation. 64. It is almost seven months now since the Security Council lifted a number of Chapter VII mandates on Iraq, a move unanimously hailed as a major step towards the normalization of its international status. I take this opportunity to reiterate my personal commitment to seeing Iraq achieve full normalization of its international status pursuant to Security Council resolution 1859 (2008). I therefore wish to remind the Government of Iraq of the importance of demonstrating to the Security Council tangible and expeditious progress on outstanding obligations pertaining to Kuwait, in particular missing Kuwaiti persons and property, including archives, and the Iraq-Kuwait boundary maintenance project. I would also like to remind the Iraqi authorities that the issue of compensation payments to Iraqi private citizens pursuant to resolution 899 (1994) is still pending. The Department of Political Affairs is awaiting a response to proposals it submitted to the Government of Iraq in this regard. I have consistently stated that progress on these fronts could create a positive momentum and enable the Security Council to take up my report pursuant to resolution 1859 (2008). In this context, both my Special Representative and Highlevel Coordinator remain committed to assisting Iraq and Kuwait in bringing closure to these long-standing Security Council mandates. Any comments?

The luck of the fools is made from the backs of others.

My splurge will happen after I give 10% to church, provide for Veteran charities (Wounded Warrior, Band of America's Few), and settle famiy debts. That being said, I'm gonna get matching Desert Eagles w/ sequential serial numbers, a few other "toys" to play with, a Super Snake (all pimped out), and one heckofa trip to Vegas. Baby!!!

while the reports are from October and November, they state there will be other responses from Iraq to take place regarding if the procedures are being followed and corrected data. It seems that a "correct" accounting has to take place before something else can more forward.

While many have chosen to only complain about why their RV ship has not come into port, I have been trying to find what might be delaying the schedule. I took a chance by going to the IMF web site and checking the Iraq reports (in country) and became interested in the problems with the auditing difficulties that have taken place since 2009. It seems the IMF have been extremely concerned since procedures that have been established to expidite the audit have gone awry with improper reporting, depositing, and misuse of funds. Now, to some, this is not "news", but by browsing the articles below (all from the IAMB web site and declassified) it leaves one to wonder what improvements have taken place to even ALLOW for accuracy to be provided. Please feel free to look these over and provide a reasonable/plausible excuse why the budget will be implimented soon. One note of hope though is that according to the 3rd report of the UN Security Council, there will be another meeting regarding these audit procedures this month. (Uggh!) GO RV...................please!! http://www.iamb.info/min/m101510.pdf http://www.iamb.info/auditrep/pwc063010.pdf http://www.iamb.info/pdf/S_2010_567_3rd_report_of_Govt_of_Iraq_to_UNSC.pdf http://www.iamb.info/pdf/S_2010_563_3rd_report_of_UNSG_to_UNSC.pdf

Thought I'd post these words from the musical Les Miserables. The song "One Day More" was sung by the characters in the show reflecting not knowing what would happen at the barricades the resolve the issues of the French Revolution. Their hopes...their dreams...their beliefs...all hinge on what one more day would bring. Its beautiful lyrics seem to reflect upon similar desires for today. Enjoy. "One Day More" from the musical Les Miserables Valjean: One day more. Another day, another destiny, This neverending road to Calvary. These men who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time. One day more. Marius: I did not live until today. How can I live when we are parted? Valjean: One day more. Marius and Cosette: Tomorrow you'll be worlds away. And yet with you my world has started. Eponine: One more day all on my own. Marius and Cosette: Will we ever meet again? Eponine: One more day with him not caring. Marius and Cosette: I was born to be with you. Eponine: What a life I might have known. Marius and Cosette: And I swear I will be true. Eponine: But he never saw me there. Enjolras: One more day before the storm! Marius: Do I follow where she goes? Enjolras: At the barricades of freedom. Marius: Shall I join my brothers there? Enjolras: When our ranks begin to form, Marius: Do I stay, and do I dare? Enjolras: Will you take your place with me? Chorus: The time is now. The day is here. Valjean: One day more! Javert: One more day to revolution We will nip it in the bud. I will join these little schoolboys, They will wet themselves with blood. Valjean: One day more! Thernadiers: Watch 'em run amuck Catch 'em as they fall. Never know your luck when there's a free-for-all. Here a little dip There a little touch. Most of them are gonners so they won't miss much! Rebel Students: One day to a new beginning Raise the flag of freedom high. Every man will be a king. Every man will be a king. There's a new world for the winning. There's a new world to be won. Do you hear the people sing? Marius: My place is here I fight with you. Valjean: One day more! Marius and Cosette: I did not live until today Eponine: One more day all on my own. Javert: I will learn their little secrets, I will know the things they know. Valjean: One day more! Thenardiers: Watch 'em run amuck. Catch 'em as they fall, Never know your luck when there's a free-for-all. Javert: I will join these little schoolboys Valjean: Tomorrow we'll be far away Tomorrow is the judgment day. All: Tomorrow we'll discover What our God in heaven has in store. One more dawn. One more day. One day more!

For me, I plan to give the first 10% to God through a fund set aside for Christian work (TBD), pay off all debt, and help family members in need. I also hope to help struggling veterans who feel unconnected to society after returning from service by trying to establish a transition program utilizing VA. By giving vets skills to acclimate back into society, the chance for success is improved for the individual as well as deter chances for vets from becoming homeless, substance abusers, and disenfranchised. Many veterans are returning to find not only are they no needed by the military, but also a lack of jobs at home. By providing services through a pilot program at the VA (looking to create positions for vets to receive service as well as give back to other vets), WE can be there for them as they were for us and our country.

I know the dinar roller coaster has been a ride many would choose not to do again, but please let me encourage you. News has never looked better and the chance of an RV looks brighter than ever. While many of us are in difficult circumstances, the hope of a better future for our familes is what keeps that hope alive. It may seem ludicrous to some, but the RV is something that WILL happen. Before selling your dinar, ask yourself will the sale benefit you more now or waiting a bit longer will. In any event, I would strongly suggest you wait until after Nov. 3 to make that decision to sell. My hope and prayer for you to receive the blessing of an RV will be with you.

Isn't it nice to know we are still nearby to come to the aid of our Iraqi friends as they curse at us? If we were willing to pack up and go home, I wonder how much they would truly appreciate how far they have come courtesy of the "Yankee dogs". We all know how willing Venezuela is to come to their aid.

To all my DVets Family... Over this long journey, we have all laughed, cried, argued, sighed and ached over seeing this investment come into fruition. You have provided me with knowledge, analysis, amusement, and most of all, a heartfelt friendship that I will cherish throughout my life. I wish to dedicate this last "dinar ditty" to all of you, my dear "comrades in cash", and hope you enjoy this poor attempt of showing my gratitude. Thank you. 'THE NIGHT BEFORE R.V. (after "The Night Before Christmas", by Clement Clarke Moore or Henry Livingston) 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE R.V., IN THE CHAT ROOM I SAT, NO INVESTOR WAS STIRRING, NOT EVEN A RAT; THE TAX FORMS WERE HUNG NEAR THE CELL PHONE WITH CARE, WITH HOPES AN ANNOUNCEMENT SOON WOULD BE THERE; THE DINARS WERE NESTLED ALL SNUG IN MY STASH, WHILE VISIONS OF DOLLAR SIGNS REPLACED THEM AS CASH; AS MOM TALKED OF R.V., AND I TALKED OF L.O.P., WE JUST STOPPED DEBATING AND WENT TO BED WITH A FLOP, WHEN UP ON THE TV WHOOPED A REPORTER FROM FOX, I SPRANG UP FROM THE BED AS I REACHED FOR MY STOCKS. AWAY TO MY LAPTOP TOO FAST TO BE SEEN, I CLICKED ON MY BOOKMARK AND GAWKED AT THE SCREEN. THE BLUR FROM THE WEB SITE AROSE WITH A GLOW GAVE THE LUSTER OF BUILLION, (BUT HOW WOULD i KNOW?) WHEN, IN FRONT OF MY RED PUFFY EYES FULL OF SWIRLS POOFED ADAM MONTANA AND EIGHT VEGAS GIRLS! WITH A SUAVE, WELL-GROOMED DRIVER, SO DAPPER AND SPRY i KNEW IN A MOMENT, BETTER ZIP UP MY FLY. AS LOUD AS A FREIGHT TRAIN, ON HARLEYS THEY CAME, "THE GURUS FROM D-VETS", HE SHOUTED THEIR NAME. "NOW, SCOOTER!, NOW, DEENAR!, NOW, SPARKLING BLUE!. ON, FRANKC!, ON, RSNEED!, ON, SUNGLASSES TOO!! MR. RICH, DO A WHEELIE!, MR. PARROT, DO A FLIP! AND, FOR GOODNESS, DEAR RVorBUST, PLEASE DON'T TRIP!!" LIKE CONFETTI THAT FALLS FROM A SKYSCRAPER, TALL, THE HARLEYS COLLIDED, AND FELL IN A SPRAWL, SO, UP FROM THE BLACK-TOP, HIS POSSE AROSE, BRUSHED OFF ALL THE DOG POOP, AND CLEANED OFF THEIR NOSE. AND THEN, IN A TWINKLING, MY EYES GAVE ME PROOF, ADAM'S SHOW GIRLS WERE DANCING THE TWIST ON MY ROOF! AS i SHOOK MY HEAD QUICKLY, AND WAS TURNING AWAY, IN THE FRONT DOOR CAME ADAM AND COMING MY WAY. HE WAS DRESSED IN ARMANI, FROM HEAD TO HIS TOE, NOT A SPECK OF DIRT ON HIM. (IT WAS QUITE A SHOW!) A HUGE BAG OF CASH HE HAD PULLED FROM A BOX, HE LOOKED JUST LIKE JAMES BOND THAT'S ROBBING FT. KNOX. HIS EYES---HOW THEY TWINKLED! HIS DIMPLES---BIG AND FAT! HIS LEGS WERE LIKE TREE TRUNKS! HIS ARMS---A BASEBALL BAT! SOME DROOL FROM HIS MOUTH THAT LEAKED OUT FROM HIS SMILE, WAS CAKED ON FROM CASHING IN DINAR AWHILE. THE STUB OF A CIGAR FLICKED ASH ON HIS SLEEVE, AND THE SMOKE THAT ESCAPED IT MADE ME STRUGGLE TO BREATHE; HE HAD A STRONG FACE AND A GUT TIGHT AS MORTAR AND WAS TIGHT AS A BED SHEET BEING BOUNCED BY A QUARTER. HE WAS HAPPY AND CAREFREE, WITH MONEY TO BURN, AND I LAUGHED WHEN I SAW HIM, CAUSE NOW ITS MY TURN; A WINK OF HIS EYE, AND A PULL ON HIS EAR, SOON LET ME KNOW I HAD NOTHING TO FEAR. HE SPOKE NOT A WORD, JUST LAID OUT THE CASH, AND FILLED THE KIDS' TRUST FUNDS WITH A MILLIONAIRE'S STASH, AND USING HIS CELL PHONE AFTER MAKING HIS RAID, AND GIVING A NOD, SIGNALED "D-TRADE". HE GATHERED HIS SHOWGIRLS, TO HIS PALS GAVE A HOLLER, AND AWAY THEY RODE OFF, AND ASKED NOT A DOLLAR. BUT I HEARD HIM EXCLAIM AS HE SPED OUT OF SIGHT, "GET YOUR DINAR TO ALI, CAUSE IT RVed TONIGHT!!!" AND MAY ALL OF YOU, HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE ENJOYING THE BLESSINGS FROM ABOVE!!

THE BALLAD OF MAL CLAMPETT set to the tune of "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" (song by Jerry Scoggins, Lester Flatt, & Earl Scriggs) Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Mal, Poor Iraqi puppet, barely kept a friend or pal. Then one day, he was shootin' at some Kurds And up from a sand dune came some bumbling words.... (L O P, that is...., US gold...., Texas RV.....) Well, the first thing ya know old Mal's Prime Minister. Kin folk said, "Mal, try not to interfere!" Said, "Iran or Syria is the place ya ought ta be." So, he loaded up his camel and he fled from Allawi. (Duned in, that is..., ethnic purges..., al-queda stars....) Well, now it's time to say goodbye Mal and all his kin. They would like to thank you folks for kindly chippin' in. You're invited back agin' to this "democracy", To have a heapin' helping of their forthcoming R V!!! (Nice folks..., "Y'all come back now, ...ya hear!" )

UK tax attorney would have that info.

Hmmmmm..... I wonder if this offsets the 1% banking transaction fee set to be imposed on all banking transactions? Seems making a deposit into a non-interest bearing account would be a transaction. But what do I know...I'm not an economist, etc... yada, yada, yada. I just want my money to be my money and the united states of America can find another form of taxation.

Scooter, I think a lot of what you say has merit. Due to chronic pain and insomnia, I have spent most of the past 12 hours surfing the web and links looking for possible connections to the dinar and I have had similar thoughts. 1. I believe China in the linch pin in all of what is occurring. The trade deficit between US and China is huge and has only continued to widen. Add to that the US debt China holds (and has been trying to liquidate), it is a drag on both parties that will get worse because of the falling dollar. As the yuan gets higher and the dollar drops, the spread increases our debt, but drains the Chinese budget as well. 2. The major currencies are lowering as third world currencies are rising, much to trade demands. Germany, UK, and France are all going through similar plights to the US (what happens in US affects the world). Each of them need the "booster shot" to invigorate their economies, especially as the mid-east boom begins to explode and the only world player who is trying to slurp up oil is China. 3. Revaluation would solve most of the problems economically for US, Europe, and eventually the Asian markets if there is a way for no country to get the upper hand. While money is the main focus for making things move globaly, positioning of power is also in play. Europe only survives as a bloc and while China has resources and no effective infrastructure, is also dependent on trade to get what they want. The US dollar is the benchmark and the world feels the aftershocks of the wild economic rides economically. To bring stability, even enough to level the global market so the effects are not as prominent, there will have to be some sort of adjustment for a normacy to be gained. 4. I'm reminded of an old Peter Sellers movie called, "The Mouse That Roared" where a tiny insignificant country suddenly held the world at bay when a nuclear missle ends up in their country and the entire world had to kowtow to them to reduce the worldwide fear of its use. Iraq is in the fortunate position of not just having UN protection status & huge oil resources/revenues, but also the attention of the world as they can control the release of when the RV can happen. I believe this is why droves of companies are flocking to Iraq, giving them infrastructure, economic stability, and an elevation of status to global power much like Japan after WW2. Now, I may be rambling like a crazy person, but I somehow see these items linked together. Maybe just lack of sleep has had its effect. In any case, I can see the parallels coincide with your musings, so maybe there might be something. may Scooby Doo will be able to confirm this or have us both sent to the funny farm. In any event, these are my thoughts ( and I aint no guru, economist, medium or channeller of Shirley MacClaine - so please have mercy!!)
