Synopsis

Likewise, Bro!

I suspect the note on the left was indicating the circled mark was not a holographic mark like on the real 50K notes. The article seems to say that the 50K notes are being counterfeited and are showing up in the market place. Here is the link to the CBI site that shows what the different notes look like. The 50K note is way at the bottom and is listed as Issue 2015. http://www.cbi.iq/index.php?pid=Banknotes

Thank You Adam and Tech Support for helping DV weather another connectivity storm! Maybe the people on the other end will just push the RV button already!

Thank You Thug and BJInMontreal for posting the articles! The last article states toward the end, "With all of that uncertainty rushing around, a British exit will likely result in a massive rebalancing of currencies." Hey, can the IQD be included in the massive rebalancing of currencies, too? Here's hoping!!!

Amen, Sister!

I must say I am disappointed in this inflammatory post. Why say, "Is white America blind on racism"? Racism of varying degrees knows no racial or ethnic boundaries, time, geographical location, or age - if life, social, and cultural events are viewed only from a perspective of racism. I suspect most balanced and observant people would see through the rhetoric and understand the typical claim of the "underprivileged" is they are a victim of racism to advance their own form of racism to attain some exclusive privileges or exclusion of personal responsibilities. Rule of Law applies to everyone regardless of race or ethnic origin for the health and stability of any society.

Thank You, TennesseeCherokee, for the added tidbits - I agree. Maliki dangling from the rope of justice and the return of a significant portion of the stolen/pilfered/smuggled/misdirected funds aught to clear significant hurdles for the revaluing of the IQD. The noise and drama in Iraq Maliki and associates is creating aught to go away once he is out of the picture. Would like to see the Federal Court Act get passed and implemented. Seems like a significant portion of those in positions of government, or had been in government, understand the implications of the Federal Court Act on them and are doing everything they can to prevent the Federal Court Act from being passed. Once the Federal Court Act is passed, I suspect the debri will be further cleaned from the government positions and the Iraqi progress will really pick up speed.

The second to the last article states, "he noted that" put the 100 class thousand is a pilot project and carefully studying the central bank will see the appropriate time and opportunity to put into circulation. " with if the project to delete the zeros is still there, he said that " the project is the proposal presented in parliament for the Governor of the Central Bank of the former Shabibi and formed a committee for this purpose, was submitted again to theCouncil of Ministers and there were conditions prevailed in Iraq at the time in 2010 ,political and Mnacfat and instability security, that is also the emergence of Daash led to work in this project delay , "stressing that" the central bank did not cancel the project, but is deferred until the improvement of the economic, security and political situation. "" Looks like the "delete the zeros" project is still on and the 100,000 dinar notes will be put into circulation at some time. Looks like Daash is the issue here causing economic, security, and political instability. Maybe once Daash has received the death knell, the release of the 100,000 dinar notes, delete the zeros, and release of the lower denominations will occur soon thereafter. With Fallujah in the final mop up stages and Mosul getting pounded, the Daash extermination may be significantly sooner than the end of 2016. If al-Baghdadi is really toast, ISIS may fragment and then be overcome rapidly.

Here is a link to a similar iPhone issue that may be helpful: I have this advertisement problem on my iPhone before I log in but not after I log in.

Fabulous, JaxinJersey! I did notice the arithmetic progression on the left side of the equation and the gap in the numbers between the 3rd ands 4th line. I was thinking inside the box. However, with the four added lines, there is additional support for the arithmetic answer that is equally as viable as the geometric answer!

Thank You for the great article, DinarThug! With the companies starting their work at the beginning of the new legislative term and these companies getting a "finder's fee", I suspect the ball will get rolling pretty quickly to get the necessary remaining reforms in place - including the Federal Court Act - and the looted funds returned to the rightful place including the CBI. If the Federal Court Act is not enacted, the same corrupt characters can put their paws back into the cookie jar. There is probably no exact figure of the Iraqi monies looted from Iraq. I saw an estimate a while back of nominally 500 billion US. If half of that money returns to the CBI, that would be a huge CBI reserve - not to mention all the loans and other obligations (like to Kuwait) to pay off and all those debts and have a lot left over! Seems like the good news (from actual news articles) is picking up and things are lookin' really good for real, real soon!

Here is more Poppy3 brain (or lack thereof) trust information: This is a Poppy3 post from only ten (10) days ago. I dunno. I suspect what ever Poppy3 has (or doesn't have) ain't working right or has ever worked right!

The article headline, "6/15/2016 Poppy3... I HAVE HAD SUCH A PIECE OF MIND FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT THE RV IS TRULY HAPPENING AND WILL SHOW BEFORE THE SECOND WEEK OF JULY." Is Poppy3 trying to say that outside of the last few week that Poppy3 had no mind at all and not even a piece (extremely small) of mind but only has a piece (extremely small) of mind now? Or, is Poppy3 saying Poppy3 had a mind until the last few weeks and now only has a piece (extremely small) of mind left? Yeah, the "second week of July" is nominally a month off and Poppy3's "piece of mind" will be depleted to nothing and won't recall this bogus post and likely assumes no one else will remember this bogus post either while Poppy3 makes up some other bogus claim.

I was thinking the same thing. Other articles are stating the corruption is being cleaned up at the Iraqi banks that deal directly with the Iraqi citizens and measures are being taken to bolster confidence that banks are a safe place for Iraqis to deposit currencies. Possibly, corrupt characters or law abiding Iraqis are/were taking funds out of the country via personal carrying of the funds and depositing them into foreign bank accounts that drains the potential for the Iraqi banks to support liquidity. I suspect legally and liquid Iraqi bank transactions and loans would greatly enhance the liquidity and bolster the Iraqi economy. With all the personal loans granted/to be granted, I suspect Iraq doesn't want the loan monies to leave the country and for all the loan monies to be plugged into the Iraqi economy. Just my thoughts/opinion.

Yeah, hence a "trick question"! What I have found in domestic life is, sometimes no matter what answer I give, it is always the wrong answer. So, I need to put all the possible answers out there - and still be completely wrong. But, at least I tried (not to get away, of course!) and that seems to somehow earn some favor - at least to try again!

I suspect both answers could be correct since the middle two equations are completely mathematically (arithmetically) incorrect as is. 40 could be the arithmetic answer and 96 could be the geometric answer (xy+x). Arithmetically, the product of the first line (5) plus the left side of the second line (2 + 5) equals the product on the second line (12). The product on the second line (12) plus the left side of the third line (3 + 6) equals the product on the third line (21). So, the product on the third line (21) plus the left side of the fourth line (8 + 11) would produce a product on the fourth line of 40. Geometrically, (1x4 + 1) = 5. (2x5 + 2) = 12. (3x6 + 3) = 21. So, (8x11 + 8) = 96. Since the first line is the only arithmetically correct answer, I suspect the geometric answer of 96 is the correct answer if there is only one and not two correct answers.

The article states, "She added that "the Federal Court Act need to have a quorum in parliament for two-thirds of its members," indicating that "Parliament is now in paralysis because of the lack of a quorum to vote on laws and legislation." Maybe passing the Federal Court Act really is the key to it all and all the other drama is a distraction from this main issue. Looks like the Federal Court Act will end the corruption through the civil functions, including the parliamentarians - not to mention Maliki and associates - and the guilty in power will be indicted and prosecuted. The parliamentarians are probably aware the huge hammer there that is about to drop - on them (the guilty) - should this Federal Court Act be passed. No wonder the stalling by the Supreme Court being aware of the implications of invalidating the parliamentary sessions in question without Jabouri chairing these sessions. The can keeps being kicked down the road to decide. June 28 is a couple weeks away and the end of Ramadan is the week after that. Delaying the inevitable or stalling to get a viable plan in place to prevent the Federal Court Act from being voted on, passed, and implemented? Looks like more drama on the way for around three to four weeks. Hope not. We'll see.

Yep. We like it much better when you two stick around!

Hey You two, Welcome Back!

Thank You, Yota, for posting this and all the other great articles! The article states at the end, "He noted to "discuss the possibility of rehabilitating the railway linking Iraq via Turkey , Germany , the line of what is represented by the line of the economic importance of the two countries as well as a connecting Asia to Europe."" Getting this railway reconstructed to modern rail standards would be an aid to bolstering the Iraqi economy to allow for Iraqi goods to be readily transported to Europe. I suspect Iraq could also collect tariffs on foreign goods passing through.

If Kurdistan produced 550,000 barrels of crude oil per day total for one month (30 days), the total monthly oil production would be 16.5 million barrels. With the stated Kurdistan monthly revenue from the GOI of 1 billion USD, oil would need to be sold at $60.61/barrel for the GOI to break even. Crude oil is showing nominally $48.51/barrel on www.ino.com this morning. I suspect crude oil prices could reach $60.61/barrel late 3Q2016 or early 4Q2016. I suspect the GOI will baulk at the offer. I suspect Kurdistan will want to renegotiate if the crude oil prices get significantly above $60.61/barrel. I would like the offer Kurdistan is making to make headway. There may be a modified agreement. One possible agreement that comes to mind is 500 million USD/month to Kurdistan plus 8.5% (one half the previous percentage) of the GOI oil revenues. Also, Kurdistan's crude oil production of 550,000 barrels per day is nominally 13.75% of the total Iraqi oil production of nominally 4.0 million barrels/day. I suspect once ISIS is removed, the Kurdistan oil production and infrastructure will be increased/improved.

Yeah, I'd like to see that!

Yep. On a pick outside Mosul!

Yep. Need the dead body or verifiable multiple dismembered critical body parts (decapitated comes to mind)!
