Its on THE other site and on news sites as well.

good post.... reported 9 hours ago on another site as well.

Amazing Simply Amazing Great Job, (sarcasm) There was a "person" on here that once started a topic talking about how they were upset how a guy got "shreded " sharing his intel. This person came as far as to say that it was almost a disgrace, atleast from the interpertation of the reading. The amazing part is, your profile states that you created that topic, must be an IT error or you had a change in heart for people who freely share their information. Its sad, from reading the forums you would think there is a trophy or a bonus for the person who gets the date and rate right, so much so that people are wanting Adam to win the trophy. No disrespect intended to Adam. Come on people, read the information provided, glean from it what you want to keep and move on. Some of us are so full of emotions of bashing, smashing and shredding that I bet you can't ever read the weather forecast without arguing about it, cuz the weatherman got it wrong last month. Enjoy the trophy and good luck.

You know, it is sad. People are sharing the information they have been given or have heard and all some people do is find a way to bash, slam or discredit it. Yet, people here are still going there to get information because the forum sounds like it is a little more open. Its simple, if you dont like thier process don't go there. If you dont like thier posts that are put here, stop reading it. If you think it is a waste of your time and you keep reading it, then really, who is the smart one? I say thank you for sharing your info.

I completely understand their stand on possession of the IQD. They are hiring and incurring the expense of training an individual to handle the work load that is anticipated. A good manager would not hire someone that would be 'retireing' before the influx of business began, just not good business sense. My reall question is, how can anyone bash something that is labeled a rumor. A rumor is just that a rumor. It is not like it is labled "Intel from the President". Come on people, if we are calling it a rumor when we post it, why bash the person posting it. If all that was is truly posted here is 100 percent verifiable intel with a notarized statement stating the validity of it, well we would simply have another CNN. Wait, even CNN posts rumors all the time. So, I don;t know what we would have besides a one of a kind non-existant forum. Geez get a grip people. As far as whether or not it is discriminatory,..... come on, if it is a criteria that is applied to every application, how is that discrimnatory. It is not based on race, age or nationality, it is based on the logic that you would not be around post rv.

Well my take is this.... For the last 7 years we have been waiting on the RV to take place. Amazingly enough, for those 7 years we have had taxes, the same time every year. This is the first year that this information has been told to my knowledge. In addition, we have never been closer to the RV than we are now either. Coincidence? maybe. Plausible that something is about to go down, likely so.

dude, do you ever have anything postive?

Well, I will say this, Most people only really get upset when they loose money. From what I see posted in this thread, the talk is of a "bogus scam" that is costing $25 post RV, its one time fee. Some sites offer VIPS membership with annual fees that are more than $25. With hopes of this or that to become educated and privy to information. Face it folks, for those that hold dinar, you will watch all the sites, know enough people that hold dinar, and have enough to knowledge, that you will know on your own within that the dinar has RV/RI'd. From what I am learning, a lot of your 'tax deferrments' need to be taken care of before the currency has RV'd i.e. putting some in an IRA. Yet, noone has offered a web conference, conference call, or even a youtube video in regards to this. Most people on the sites speak of God and being christians. A hyprocrite is someone who Monday through Saturday are not who they are on Sunday. Go ahead and bash me, but when you get in a car wreck or when you mom is sick, God will be the first one you call on. If you say you dont believe in God, it wont take but a second to convince you, the second before you die. With all this said, my point is this. No one is perfect, no one has a perfectly clean background, I mean raise your hand if you have never lied on your taxes about $1. If somone is willing to post information about this investment I commend them. If somone reads ANY information and believes it 100% without your own due deligence I pray for you. I look to websites to try to help gain knowledge about what is going on in Iraq. I do not need any website to email me or text me that the RV has happened. Trust me, if you done your due deligence and began a personal relationship with a banker, they will call you personanlly and let you know it RV'd. The bank wants your deposit and the banker wants a raise which he gets by increasing his deposits. This is becoming a sick joke one website talking crap about another. If you have the 'intel' to disprove any other 'intel' then share it. If not, dont bash it. If you have enough intel to disprove every rumor that is currently posted, then you should have enough intel to give a rate or date, which i dont think anyone can do. Its easy to sit back oh they are lieing,,, watch. give it 2 days. But if this is the best you can do in discussing intel, then you much of a great leader or friend. Character assination gains very little favor. Standing tall among peers because of your personal merits is worth more than towering over the masses because of someones short comings. Remember, be wise as serpent and harmless as a dove.

Here is what I don't get. If you "know" a site is posting inacurate data, then why do you keep going over there and seeing what they have posted. Either you hope they are correct and want to know or you are a fool and choose to waste your time. Early today thier site went down and a thread filled up so fast with people saying they could not get on, that it was pulled. I thought this site was to discuss the dinar and not to critique other sites. The majority of what I learned today is that people do not care about researching and posting information about the dinar, rather they would like to run to this site or that site and come back and make fun of the site. I don't mind people saying someone is wrong, but can you do it with a little intel or information to back it up. All I want to be able to is gain knowledge to put together an idea of what is going on in Iraq, instead all I have found is high school game that resembles the Kurds and Iraqis squablling. Come on already. If you have something productive to say, please say it. Follow up with a link to evidence to support your information. Some of this is so stupid, its like going to a resturant that you know serves bad meat and you keep going. If you have made up your mind that a source is unreliable, don't go there. You have to ask yourself, who is the bigger the fool, the person who believes in something and keeps going back, or the person who disbelieves and keeps going back.

link does not work, have to agree this is copied from another sight. remember Peoples, its about the Dinar

Thats what I am saying. After all it is all for the Peoples and all about the Dinar.

Ok so here is my take on all this DRAMA. These sites are not used by us to determine if you want to invest in the dinar, rather they SHOULD BE USED TO LET US KNOW HOW THINGS ARE GOING AND PROGRESSING. Are we all thinking that we are going to make more money off this investment by being a member of here or there or anywhere. We all have heard of the BIG DEALERS saying we are going to a better rate here or there. We have all heard that we should negotiate the spread, well I do agree to some extent. In negotiations you have to be able to demand something and take something away too. The banks are going to negotiate to some extent, you have to remember we are going to need a bank to put the money in. I just think it is crazy for people to be pushed, shoved and pulled here or there, we are not going to get any trade secrets from any sites on the dinar. So why worry who is right and who is wrong, because from what I have read, everyone has been wrong to date. No one has cashed in, no one has had a bank account expand from this investment but dealers, banks and websites. Anything you read today or even tomorrow is not going to change your opinion about the dinar, if so, you would have never gotten in on it to begin with. live long, prosper much, bless many!!1

It was a great phone call. hosted by some don't promote other sites. Glad I could share information in regards to it.

Ok, so I think sometimes its best to take the 'intel' we are provided, put it all together and study it. So if you do that with Terry's intel and take the average of it. THEN HIS INTEL IS SAYING A RV RATE OF 4.29. Hey, sometimes you just have to have fun and take the average. Heck, I would take 4.29 anytime. lol

22 Power Plant Tenders to be Issued Next Week Posted on 24 November 2010. Tags: Calik Enerji, Electricity, GE, General Electric, Mitsubishi, Orascom, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Shell, Siemens 22 Power Plant Tenders to be Issued Next Week Iraq will soon ask for bids on projects to install and run 22 gas turbines that could boost its power generating capacity by 30 percent in the next few years, an official from the Ministry of Electricity said on Tuesday. Reuters reports that the ministry plans to ask companies to build plants in four provinces, install and operate turbines it has already purchased from General Electric, and sell the power back to the government. Power-starved Iraq, trying to rebuild after years of war and economic sanctions, hopes to triple its electricity capacity to 27,000 megawatts from the current 9,000 MW in four years. Laith al-Mamury, the head of investments and contracts at the Electricity Ministry, said the deal will allow the companies to buy the turbines on a delayed payment plan. “I believe on November 30 [the tender details] will be offered to the companies,” Mamury told Reuters in an interview. “We have the units. The investor will come to finish the rest of the equipment and operate the plant for 20 to 25 years,” he said. The 22 gas turbines, valued at $40 million [47 billion Iraqi dinars] each, would be installed in Diwaniya, Muthanna, Maysan and Basra provinces, Mamury said. The turbines would produce 125 MW each, or 2,750 MW in total, more than 10 percent of Iraq’s ultimate goal of 27,000 MW. They were among 72 turbines Iraq purchased in 2008 from GE and Siemens in deals worth more than $5 billion. http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2010/11/24/22-power-plant-tenders-to-be-issued-next-week/ Ok gurus, what is the significance of the 30th?

Ok, so as I said, one bank was RBC here in NC, the second bank is First Citizens. First Citizens has a foreign currency branch in Garner, NC supposedly with a De Le Rue machine, yea I may have missed misspelled it. At First Citizens in Cary NC as a whole they are knowledgeable of the procedure to purchase it, the rate, and the buy back procedure. However, it was at First Citizens where I had to spell for the teller. My point being, do not rely on the "front line" people to give you quality information. The front line will only know about the Iraqi Dinar when its an openly traded currency.

One thing I can tell you about banks, is that you have to remember that front line people at the bank are just tellers. I used to be in the banking industry, so I dont mean this in a slamming way at all. But most people in the bank are making $12 to $15 an hour max and some are less than that. When I purchased dinar from a bank, that is set to buy them back, I had to spell IRAQI Dinar for the Teller. At RBC, I had to educate the bank manager, which does not deal in the dinar YET. Foreign Currency is on a need to know basis in banks, and most seem not to need to know. It is difficult to gain reliable data from banks. The banks are about making the dollar, and they are not going to let many people know what is going on for the fear of information leaking out.

I know this article is 5 days old, but..... Steady oil stream between Kirkuk oil fields and Ceyhan Saturday, November 13, 2010 11:45 GMT A source in North Oil Company said on Friday that oil pumping operation from Kirkuk northern oil fields towards Ceyhan Turkish port are stable with a ratio of 400000 barrels per day. The source stressed that the drop in exported quantities is due to drop in production in some fields because of technical problems. http://www.alsumaria.tv/en/Economics-News-Iraq/3-56399-Steady-oil-stream-between-Kirkuk-oil-fields-and-Ceyhan.html

Steve, have to say I have come to respect your knowledge and opinions, not to mention we share the same birthday , just a few years a part. Seems like to me that the greed for power and money are big in the parliament, or else it would not have taken 8 months to get to this point. We have heard all kinds of rates, some low and some high, I am not here to discuss rates. However, it seems to me that the MPs have been collecting dinar monthly, they stand to become rich upon the RV just as we do as investors. I don't see how they will let RV come in too low. Your thoughts? Side note, everyone has talked about how it has taken 8 months to get to this point, ironically 8 is the number of beginnings.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – The head of Iraq's main Sunni-backed political group has pronounced a new power-sharing deal "dead" and predicted more violence, just days after the accord aiming to end political infighting was reached. Former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's Iraqiya was the final big group to agree to join a coalition this week in an accord that gave Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki a second term. But two thirds of Iraqiya members walked out of parliament on Thursday saying a deal between blocs was being violated. Allawi said some Iraqiya members might join the government, but the "main bulk" of them, including himself, would stay out. "We think the concept of power-sharing is dead now," Allawi told CNN in an interview. "It's finished." Asked how the end of a power-sharing deal might affect a future government, he said, "For Iraq, there will be tensions and violence, probably." However, other Iraqiya figures said on Saturday the party still planned to join the government, and one called the walkout from parliament a "misunderstanding." Iraqiya's shifting position heightens concerns about the future of the government deal, which ended eight months of rancorous bargaining among Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish factions. Maliki has enough support from Shi'ite and Kurdish parties to rule without Iraqiya, but Washington and Iraq's Sunni Arab neighbors are anxious to ensure that the Sunni-supported bloc is also represented. Iraq needs a stable government to rebuild infrastructure and exploit its vast oil wealth while violence ebbs seven years after the U.S.-led invasion that ousted dictator Saddam Hussein. Under the power-sharing deal reached three days ago, politicians divided the three top posts -- prime minister, president and speaker of parliament -- among the main ethic and sectarian political blocs. Lawmakers elected Osama al-Nujaifi, a Sunni leader of Iraqiya, as speaker, and reappointed Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, as president. Talabani then nominated Maliki as prime minister. Allawi was made head of a yet-to-be-created policy council. But the show of unity, which had arch-rivals Maliki and Allawi sitting side-by-side in parliament, quickly unravelled when about two-thirds of Iraqiya's lawmakers walked out. Allawi told CNN he was thinking of forming a parliamentary opposition rather than taking part in the government. "I will not be a part of this theater," he said. "This is a new dictatorship that is happening in Iraq." Other Iraqiya leaders and members, however, said the bloc had not reversed its decision to join the government. "Iraqiya will take part in the government," said Mustafa al-Hiti, a senior member of Iraqiya. Jaber al-Jaberi, an Iraqiya lawmaker, called the walkout from parliament a "misunderstanding." "The intention of Iraqiya is not to boycott the political process and this is the decision of the Iraqiya leadership," Jaberi said. The party could still boycott the government if Maliki does not fully implement the agreement, he added. ]Iraqiya lawmaker Talal al-Zubaie said Iraqiya would take part in a session of parliament scheduled for Saturday. He called Allawi's comments "a surprising thing for me." "Iraqiya will take part and be part of the government."

This goes along with what Steve started: Further to our reports of major gas contracts being agreed in principal on 20 October for three fields holding 11 trillion cubic feet of gas (4 trillion cubic metres), most of them have now been signed. Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO), Kuwait Energy and Kogas won the right to operate Iraq’s Mansuriyah gas fields and have committed to producing 320m cubic feet of gas per day (113m cubic metres) for $7 per barrel of oil equivalent. The Mansuriyah fields contain almost 370bcf (130bcm), according to the Oil Ministry. Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO) and Kuwait Energy will also operate the Siba field, producing 100m cubic feet of gas per day (35m cubic metres) at $7.50 per barrel of oil equivalent. Abdul-Mahdy al-Ameedi, from the Oil Ministry expects that the contractors will reach 25% of its production target in three years and the full target in six. The signing of the contract for gas production in the Akkas field, which is split 50-50 between KazMunaiGas and Kogas, has been put back to “clear a misunderstanding,” the Oil Ministry said. These companies have agreed to produce 400m standard cubic feet of gas per day (141m cubic metres) at Akkas at a price of $5.50 per barrel of oil equivalent. However, there could still be political setbacks to these contracts, which might be revealed as the new government takes shape. http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2010/11/15/huge-gas-deals-signed/

Baghdad, Nov. 15 (AKnews) – An official in the Iraqi Oil Ministry said on Monday that finalizing the Ukaz gas field license was postponed until the end of this week’s Eid al-Adha national holiday for technical reasons, indicating that the delay is not related to Anbar council’s opposition to it. Abdul Mahdi al-Amidi, the director general of licensing at the Oil Ministry told AKnews that the investing company had requested the postponement because of technical issues that need to be studied before pressing ahead with plans to exploit the field, located in the north-west of Anbar province, close to the Syrian border. “The contract will be formally signed after the Eid al-Adha holiday, before being sent to the Council of Ministers for ratification,” Mr. Amidi said. “The contract will be formally signed after the Eid al-Adha holiday, before being sent to the Council of Ministers for ratification,” Mr. Amidi said. Meanwhile Anbar provincial council voiced objections to the license because it had not been consulted and was unaware of the terms of the agreement. “Many efforts are being made to resolve misunderstandings of the legal management of gas and oil fields by some provincial councils,” the licensing director explained. The Iraqi oil ministry signed deals on Sunday with two foreign companies to develop the Mansuriyah and Siba gas fields, as part of a bid to boost its energy production and break into the lucrative global natural gas market. “This third round of licensing will support Iraq greatly and increase its energy production,” Amidi enthused. Reported by Jaafar al-Wanan Rn/Ka/AKnews http://www.aknews.com/en/aknews/2/195828/ So my question is, does it benefit Iraq to wait till after the RV to sign this?
