  1. I have A Question. What about A Group of People who numbered 22 Million. Who did not ask to be brought to A particular Country?

    Who where forced to go. A culture, language and identity were forced upon them?

    Which to date has a lingering affect.

    Hashim1968 - I detect a hint of Muslim descent in your username. No doubt then, you are offended by the topic of this thread. Sorry. I will quote Bill O'Reilly who said, "The World Has a Muslim Problem". And you know what?... I strongly suspect he's correct in his assertion. I used to live in Den Helder, Holland and just as it is in Australia where the Prime Minister is telling her Muslim residents, "This is Australia. You chose to come here, no one forced you to be here. If you don't like how we do things here, then leave". Holland has had enough of the problems caused by the Muslim community, as well the security considerations and I suspect they've made the conscious decision to rid themselves of the problem as Germany tried to do in the early 80's, when they offered Muslim families 8,000 Deutschmarks each to leave and go back to their respective countries.

    So now in an effort to lash out and decry your contempt for such harsh treatment of your people, you bring up the African-Americans as an example of a people enslaved and forced to adapt to our way of life which, (by the way) has no bearing on this thread whatsoever, the governments of Holland, Germany and Australia are talking about a people who chose to come to their respective countries. No one forced them.

    However, a new day is dawning and just like that "group of people who numbered 20 million", you, my frend, are free to leave this country at your earliest convenience.

    Have a nice day.

  2. 7-8-2011 Guru Delta Iraq is saying they’re out of Chapter 7. To go International...you cannot have recognized currency until you change the value of the currency... trying to hook up all the computers systems to be 100% linked inside and outside of Iraq...was one of the delays...Today’s announcement about 20 banks...started the new ACH system...looks like they’re ready to do it...The value has to go up...Time for Shabibi to do it. We don’t know the date or the rate but there’s a good chance that they might do that before the 14th

    ...you cannot have recognized currency until you change the value of the currency...

    What!!!! That statement makes my head hurt.

    WRONG!! If the IMF (in the judgement and concurrence of its member countries) decided the New Iraqi Dinar was fairly valued at its current level, Iraq, could in fact enter the international currency markets with the Dinar valued precisely as it is now, and be tradeable at its current value with no increase whatsoever. Those of you who are fixated on the idea that the Dinar's value is too low (and we all know this is true relative to the country's wealth and natural resources possessed, but negating the stability issues of the country) are forgetting those world currencies (past and present) whose value relative to the US Dollar are the same, or less. i.e. Italy's Lira traded at 1,500 Lira to the dollar for years and right up until Italy was accepted in the EEU and converted to the Euro.

    I think we all agree that such a scenario is pretty much off the table as it would do nothing to serve the greater good. However, if you're going to keep an "Eyes wide open" approach to this investment, you should at least be cognizant of and considerall the possibilities.

  3. Excuse me J.F but I have lived in Florida for 30 years and we have a Republican governor and also had Jeb Bush as governor (a Republican).The only part of the state thats liberal is south Florida and thats a mix. Most of our rural areas are republican and we have a lot of those.

    The reason Casey got off free is NO DNA, NO FINGERPRINTS, NO WEAPON, NO WITNESS AND THE BIGGEST OF ALL WAS NO CAUSE OF DEATH. The jury had no choice but to find her not guilty. I hate that Caley's death has not received justice however over time it will, I believe in Karma....I will NOT buy anything that puts money in the Anthony's pocket although I think people will get curious and buy, but not me.[/size]

    EXACTLY! Circumstantial evidence has sent more than one defendant to the gas chamber, but in each of those cases you had prima facie evidence of a crime having been committed. That said, as damning as the evidence found in the remains might be, if you can't prove cause of death, then how in the world are you going to prove a crime was ever committed.

    Guaranteed, it pains me no end to see Casey Anthony walk, it's a travesty of justice and I wouldn't urinate on her if she were on fire. However, I take a modicum of solace in the fact that in our judicial system can work for both sides.

  4. Basically the redenomination will be you have a 25k note now when they issue lower denomsyour 25k notes becomes a 25 dinar note hint removing the three zeroes but the value of that note remains the same, everyone basically what they are gonna do is simply issue lower denoms to the people while removing the larger bills its a simple trade for the citzens but will have the same value as it did before. I think it makes sense what aboiut you?

    As stated, and if they are not lopping the currency, then at an exchange rate of say, $3.22, you are proposing that their new 25 Dinar note would be worth $80,500.00 US. It would make a lot more sense if you had stated that when the CBI pulls the 3 zero bills of the street and renominates, that the citizens would be given 1,000 25 Dinar notes per 25K note. Just exchanging a 25K note for a single, new 25 DInar note would be nothing less than a LOP. ohmy.gif You can't spin it any other way. IMHO.

  5. I liked the post!!! Thanks

    As did I. However, if memory serves, I seem to remember reading a number of articles (some of which had to do with the HCL and the Kurds portion of the Iraqi oil revenue) wherein it pretty well stated that we (the good guys), got the best deal at $32.00/bbl. China and Russia (our traditional friends), made their deals at $38.00 and $40.00/bbl, respectively.

    I'm pretty sure the deals are legit and went down in that fashion. I would dispute the notion that China and Russia got the same deal we did on per-barrel pricing. After all, Who fought that war, it damn sure wasn't Russia or China.

    Respectfully submitted,

  6. I haven't heard anything on this subject in a few weeks and was wondering if there might be some sunshine in our future.

    When last we picked up our book on this never-ending saga in February, we read that Iraq had passed the new Tariff Laws as required by the WTO and they were supposed to be effective March 1st, mainly because they thought they would have had the RV done by then. When it didn't go down as planned, they suspended the Tariff laws until (and correct me if I'm wrong) ...April 6th, which is today.

    Can we assume that perhaps, they planned or are planning to have this all done today? huh.gif

    Just wondering.

  7. Alrighty then,.... we've witnessed the events of the elusive budget, HCL (still ongoing apparently), and the never-ending shell game with the ministers. And now, it seems the world is fixated on the spinning reels of some giant slot machine, waiting for the just the right sequence to fall. Really??? Robbie the Robot? Seriously!! blink.gif

    So, can we now assume that irrespective of all the wid a$$ guesses flying around, that not until the GOI is announced and seated will we see the RV finally, magically appear? dry.gif

    ....Just wondering.

  8. Murph: On phone with Lebanese friend. His sister-in-law lives in Kuwait. Today, Kuwait bank will take 25K Iraqi Dinar and give back 25 Iraqi dinar note. Does this make any sense to anyone.

    Rumor pilfered from another site in case you missed it biggrin.gif

    what is KD trading at these days?

    Considering the fact that the 25 Dinar note has not been released yet, I'd say that would be a pretty good trick. tongue.gif

  9. here it is please take it with a big grain of salt.

    [kettle7] tm Here's another one [ALREADYBLESSED] KME verified intel with his own intel..... From what he is hearing and has surmised, we look good for late Monday night, start making cash-in appointments on Tuesday..... 3.87 is the rate. He did also add that NO ONE SHOULD GO OUT AND BUY UP RESERVES BASED ON THIS INTEL..... IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN MARCH BUT KEPT GETTING PUT OFF!!!!! IT COULD VERY EASILY BE PUT OFF AGAIN. But, the ball is rolling!! [TerriLD] 3.87 is my favorite number!!!

    [kettle7] Just posted on PTR [elsie] one of our members, Honeybun stated that Shabibi appeared on TV yesterday to let the citizens know that the currency was about to change...imminently. He also stated that they would be dropping the three zeros, but that this would be a good thing for the people. They will be allowed to exchange their 25,000 notes for smaller denominations that will equal 25,000 It was a TV segment from yesterday in Iraq It was verified through our sources in Iraq

    - - TREAT AS RUMOR ONLY!!!

    Just got a call from a friend who just received an email containing info/intel from [bondLady] and [Elsie]. Said we should be watching for the RV at 10:00 pm CST.

    I'm assuming that's 09:00 Tuesday morning in Iraq. Let's cross our fingers, say a prayer and hope for the best.

    My best to all,

    Scott

  10. smells like poo........a 5 year old has better creative writing skills.....

    Son, I've seen and done more in my first 30 years than you will your entire lifetime. So, let me just say to you (and I mean this from the heart), "You don't know ****".

    Oh, ...and have a nice day. smile.gif

  11. I have had no problem accessing the website from anywhere except when I try from my SniperHill ISP in Iraq. It just says I am not allowed to view the site. Any thoughts?

    Dear Madam, given the huge disparity in the quality and accuracy of information disseminated by Dinar Vets and our own wonderful forum here, it just begs the question, "Why would you want to access them"? ...Just sayin' unsure.gif

  12. Maybe they are thinking they can wait to announce to every one while they are right in front of parliament building so everyone will know at the same time ...LOL Just a thought cool.giftongue.gif

    Too funny. ...The sad part, is that I think they'd actually try to handle it just like that.

    Can you say, ..Maroon? biggrin.gif

    IMO the only thing that can quell the people and buy the GOI a little more time is if they get the electricity on and clean water running ASAP

    Great Thought, But I think there a good ways off from that goal.

  13. Hey All,

    While we're all just sitting around and waiting with baited breath for this puppy to bark, I thought I'd make a personal observation here and see what y'all thought.

    With the clear and present knowledge that the "soon" is a subjective term, and the GOI always seems to wait 'til the very last nanosecond to accomplish something, and where, at this point, the popular supposition is that they will definitely RV prior to the 25th for obvious reasons, then wouldn't you think that they're cuttin' this baby a little close?

    As I think about the logistics of such a sudden shift, I have to wonder if they can get it out and handled by the local banks in the various regions in a timely and orderly enough fashion so as to avert the upcoming furor. Personally, I'm thinking they needed to trip that trigger yesterday. Any further delay is going to result in a total cluster you-know-what of a scene.

    Just wanted to get that out and see what y'all might think on the subject. blink.gif

  14. Um well first off they had a budget last year and no GOI.. so... I do not think that everything rests on the announcement of the last seats to be filled. And I believe that the budget last year was not approved until Jan also, so their budget not being finished yet is neither here nor there. I think that it would be spectacular for the GOI to all be seated, and we will see amazing things when this does happen..but no one really knows what it will take or what steps need to be taken in order for Iraq to RV, everything we think needs to be done is all speculation anyways... no one knows for sure.

    IMO>>> I think this is all some sort of power conspiracy... There are only like what... 3 vacant seats, some one or some group is delaying this for a reason, even though Iraq takes their precious time with like EVERYTHING, this 3 seat thing has been dragged out way to long for there not to be serious underlying issues that we probably can not even comprehend... ya know

    Conspiracy? ...You don't know how right you are. Okay, let's examine this for a moment.

    Maliki wants the RV. Allawi wants the RV. Dr. Shabibi wants the RV. The whole world is pushing them towards an RV because the whole world needs it. And, who cares what Talibani wants. Agreed? ...Agreed. But, their can't be an RV until the government is seated and the ministerial positions filled.

    So, who's the 800 lb. gorilla in the room? Who is it that's making everybody's life miserable? ...You got it, ...Maliki. Maliki is trying his best to consolidate power for his side of the aisle and wants to be the people's hero. As such, he has basically laid down the gauntlet.

    He also wants the RV now, and without further delays. So, "You give me the RV and I'll give you the remaining 3 appointments. Make sense? ..You decide.
