  1. The domino effect is exactly what I was thinking-thanks for the insight. Have a very thankful Thanksgiving and God bless.
  2. With respect to Adam, the rules are the rules. We are aware of them, especially after the last CC. I do enjoy reading the info from zzzzzzzzz and have liked the info shared on the CC's from him-very informative. But, he should have waited for formal approval regardless. Hopefully they will work this out and all will be fine. Maybe even repost the call that was taken off. But rules are in place by the owner of this site and need to be followed respectively. On a personal note Adam, you don't have to be on every call. You should spend time with your family as we all should. Nobody in their right mind should hold that against you.
  3. Follow the link below to read some key questions behind the vote. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8547906.stm
  4. I found this article on the BBC website. Very informative. It is a good read as it identifies the political groups and how no single party or bloc commands a majority of the 325 seats in parliament, but identifies the contenders, how they have had to forge new partnerships and deals in their efforts to share out the positions of power. This is an overview. Go the the link below. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-11730332
  5. Thanks for making us so acutely aware of how pathetic our lives have become!!! Much appreciated. Just sitting around reviewing the site for new news and searching new homes online for when the RV happens. Good to know we are not the only ones with this extravagant lifestyle. Enjoy your evening and leftovers.
  6. Personally I do not mind paying my tax obligation but I do not support gouging from Uncle Sam! If a windfall tax passes then you will not see a 38% tax, you will see much more going to Uncle Sam, and I am not in favor of that.
  7. With all this waiting I think we all needed that laugh! Thanks.
  8. jointrigued- Any idea when we will hear from Steve and if he made it safely there yet?
  9. Get Well Soon!!! From your Dinar Family.
  10. Congrats on winning the lottery. I am sure it will make life much easier in many, many ways. I will tell you a little about my situation. I have been out on my own with my 3 children for about 5 years. I have successfully raised them for the most part on my own on a very limited income. We manage. I bought my house on a land contract 3 years ago, me and my children moved into it and finally this house is a home for us. I went through a very bad divorce from a man that should never had been married, much less a father. That whole situation is very bad and can not be discussed. But the man I bought my house from did not make the mortgage payments and it went through foreclosure. I had no idea until I recieved the notice in the mail what was going on. The bank would not deal with me and now they want to evict me and my kids from our home. I made an offer to the bank to purchase the house from them, but they denied my offer price. I go to court on November 30. I would appreciate a donation of some of your dinar if you so choose. I believe that where we are at is exactly where God wants us it is just hard at times when we go through such things to see how or why. This has been very hard on me and my kids. As it stands I do not even plan on putting up a Christmas tree this year because I do not know where we will be and will be moving in the middle of the holidays and winter. Thank you and I appreciate your consideration. DeShell
  11. Very good article regarding progress on meetings: (Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki appeared likely to win a second term, breaking an eight-month impasse over a new government, after winning support on Wednesday from some members of Iraqiya, his main challenger. Maliki inched closer to a deal on a day when bomb and mortar attacks targeting Christians across the Iraqi capital killed at least three people and wounded dozens of others. Politicians from Shi'ite-led, Sunni-backed and Kurdish factions said they were ready to support Maliki when parliament meets on Thursday and to take part in his government, even if some members of the cross-sectarian Iraqiya alliance, including its leader, former premier Iyad Allawi, refused to join. "We will join the parliament session and support the nomination of Maliki to form the government," said Kadhim al-Shimari, a member of a group within Iraqiya that holds more than 30 seats. "The issue of forming a new government cannot be delayed any more." Iraq has been without a new government since an inconclusive election on March 7 which gave Sunni-backed Iraqiya two more seats than Maliki's bloc. Neither had enough for a majority in parliament, leaving the factions to negotiate a government. Last month, Maliki toured capitals in the region -- from Iran and Syria to Turkey and Egypt -- to gain regional backing for his effort to stay in power. He offered Arab nations investment deals in Iraq in exchange for nudging Iraqiya toward a compromise, political sources said. Over the past months, Iraqiya has repeatedly rejected another Maliki term and demanded the right to form the government as the top vote winner in the election. "Tomorrow in parliament, it will be the beginning of forming not just the government, but forming the Iraqi state," said Maliki on Wednesday. "God willing, we will go ahead." Parliament met briefly in June but lawmakers said they needed more time to decide who would hold the highest offices. Last month, Iraq's high court ordered parliament to resume its sessions, putting pressure on politicians to expedite a deal. The long deadlock has fueled tension even though the sectarian carnage unleashed after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion is receding while U.S. forces prepare to withdraw in 2011. A series of attacks on Christian targets across Baghdad on Wednesday stirred renewed fear in the minority community. The bomb and mortar blasts occurred just 10 days after a bloody siege at a Catholic cathedral that killed 52. TOP JOBS Politicians from Maliki's Shi'ite merger, the National Alliance, said they were going ahead with government formation as long as they had a political majority and even if other blocs chose to boycott the parliamentary session. "We do not imagine a government that does not represent all Iraq's factions ... But the government does not and will not stop, God forbid, if a list stays behind," Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a senior member of the National Alliance, told a news conference. Haidar al-Ibadi, an influential lawmaker from Maliki's Dawa party, said his bloc has agreed with others, including the Kurdish Alliance, which has 57 seats, to attend Thursday's parliamentary session even if others chose to stay away.

  12. Viper- Just would like to know which Iraqi news agency released this info so I can look it up to confirm. Can you share that information please?
  13. Copy and paste and open the link. It is the news story. No, they have not confirmed this is complete yet. The heat is on for them to form very soon by many nations. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/11/08/bomb-kills-including-iranians-iraqi-city/ Here is the same story for ABC News. The 90-minute meeting of political leaders in the northern town of Irbil kicked off three days of negotiations that could signal the deeply divided political blocs are close to a power-sharing agreement. However, officials said there are still major obstacles to overcome. Copy and paste the following link to read the entire story. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wirestory?id=12080767&page=1
  14. Not to worry. Dinar Trade has been fabulous to work with. They will take care of you.
  15. Ok I see. Thanks I appreciate the info. This is superb news then!
  16. I did a search on the swiftcode site for CBI and it showed that it has had a swift code since 2005 or earlier. I found this information when I did a search on google for their specific swiftcode "CBIRIQBAXXX" Here is the exact link I found this at: http://trade.gov/static/iraq_paymentsessay.pdf Am I reading this right, or does this not necessarily mean it has had a swiftcode?
  17. I can confirm this as well. I went to BOA a couple of months ago and asked these same questions. They will handle the Iraq Dinar once it is on their board and be handled as all other foreign currency exchanges are.
  18. Barry and his administration need to go. Especially Pelosi! How is it unconstitutional to make sure that legal registered voters are voting? I don't know about you but I have no problem showing my identification when I go to the polls. I personally feel it is unconstitutional not to show proper identification. Then again we are asking for people to show proof of citizenship when Barry can't even do that! Go figure. Lead by example.
  19. I would like to know if a person should be setting up a business entity now in one of these states, or trust depending on our goals, with the dinars we have on hand?
  20. Thanks for the post Phoenix and keeping it real. Much appreciated! Can you tell me how we will know if the RV is a fixed or a float?
  21. How will we know if the RV comes in as a float or fixed?
  22. Can you tell me how to find the link to watch the address to the people tonight on the livestation.com? I could not find it. Thanks.
  23. Please explain what this means. Is this general rule of thumb for instance is the rv happens on 10/13 then it would be effective as of 10/15? Thanks for the post.
  24. Here is an article from CBS News World that was dated October 10, 2010. The gov't is still in process of being seated-but at least is moving forward. You can look it up for yourself at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/10/10/ap/middleeast/main6944212.shtml. The RV will happen, just maybe not as quickly as we would like. Be patient and be prepared. (AP) BAGHDAD (AP) - The Sunni-backed political coalition that narrowly won the most votes in Iraq's parliamentary election appeared Sunday to be giving up its demand for the premiership, boosting the Shiite prime minister's drive to keep his job. The stunning turnabout is sure to inflame Iraq's minority Sunnis, whose crucial support helped the secular Iraqiya movement edge ahead of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's political coalition in the March 7 parliamentary election. U.S. diplomats worry that if the Sunnis feel sidelined by backroom dealmaking over the formation of a new government, it could spark unrest. A key Iraqiya leader said Sunday the party is no longer insisting on receiving the top job as long as it gets an equal share of power in Iraq's government. It marks the strongest concession to date by Iraqiya, and could break the seven-month political impasse that has stymied Iraq from seating a new government. "We have reached a position that we don't care anymore about posts," said Sheik Adnan al-Danbous, a Shiite who is close to Iraqiya chief Ayad Allawi. "Posts are not as important to us as having participation in decision-making." Al-Danbous said Iraqiya could live with al-Maliki keeping his job - so long as the party gets other plum positions, like the presidency or parliament speaker. "We don't mind if al-Maliki is the prime minister, but we have to have a decision-making post," al-Danbous told The Associated Press. Marginalized in Iraq's power circles after Saddam Hussein's ouster and after boycotting the first round of elections in 2005, Sunnis joined with Iraqiya this year in hopes of regaining political strength and credibility. Sunnis make up the majority of Iraqiya, which is widely recognized as the largest and most influential nonreligious political alliance. The party's leader, former Prime Minister Allawi is a Shiite. Sunday's comments marked a surprising change of course for Iraqiya, which after the election appeared poised to lead Iraq away from hard-line religious politics and toward a more secular government. Iraqiya won two more parliamentary seats than al-Maliki's bloc in the March vote, but neither won enough seats to control parliament outright, touching off a scramble to rally support from other political parties that has dragged on for more than seven months. Al-Maliki also got a boost last month by forging an alliance with anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr that all but sealed the prime minister's hold on his job. That, too, prompted an outcry from Sunnis, some of whom predicted the end of democracy in Iraq if al-Maliki remains in power. Separately Sunday, two small Sunni political groups joined forces in hopes of wielding some influence in the ongoing power struggle. Though their new Iraqi Centrist Alliance only holds a combined 10 seats in parliament, its merger likely signals Sunni frustration with being left out of negotiations. The new Sunni alliance will "include all political parties and all social components will be represented without neglecting anyone," lawmaker Salim Abdullah al-Jibouri said. Al-Danbous, or Iraqiya, said the negotiating was far from over, however, noting that it is still not clear what top role Iraqiya might get as part of the deal - especially since al-Maliki has all but promised Kurdish parties that they will keep the presidency post. It still could take months - until early 2011 - before a government is formed, al-Danbous said. All U.S. military troops are set to leave Iraq by the end of 2011. Meanwhile, Iraqi authorities said they broke up a Baghdad cell of the Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella group for Sunni insurgents that is linked to al-Qaida in Iraq, and charged at least two of its members with orchestrating a series of bombings on foreign embassies in the capital.
