  1. Well, you can always buy the sxtended warrantee coverage, lol.
  2. Maliki Could Devastate Iraq November 8th, 2011 05:39 pm · Posted in NEWS (Iraq & World Currency) After years of tyranny, we in Iraq had great hopes for a new life, for democracy and freedom. But unfortunately I feel the Iraqi Prime Minister, Nuri al-Maliki, is now walking in the footsteps of former dictator Saddam Hussein and he runs the country in the same style. When the Americans came to Iraq in 2003 and toppled Hussein’s regime, I thought they would never leave again. First, I knew they would have to protect their own interests in this country and second, they would want to avert a possible civil war. Many observers and some Iraqis, despite initial antagonism toward the Americans, also hoped the US will stay until Iraqi security forces are capable of keeping the country together. The fear of sectarian war looms overheard all the time. But I believe that Prime Minister Maliki has now ensured that the Americans will leave Iraq by the end of the year. The news of the American pullout came as surprise to many. Given Maliki’s ambitions to rule Iraq unchallenged, however, it is likely that he has sped up the American withdrawal. With the Americans gone, he can go about imposing the will of his own party and ruling elite and sideline by any means necessary any opponent standing in his way. The Iranian influence on the Iraqi prime minister is undeniable. For Maliki, appeasing the Iranians — who funded his Dawa Party for decades and have stood by him ever since — by making sure the American troops leave Iraq, seems to matter more than the rightful demand of some Iraqis that American soldiers remain in Iraq, which may prevent new hostilities and civil war. In his second term in office, Maliki hasn’t missed a chance to show who is in charge of Iraq. He frequently ignores the Parliament and House of Representatives and does what he wants to do. On his watch, many families in the disputed territories of Diyala province have suffered, been killed and displaced. Suspected insurgents are said to have infiltrated the Iraqi police and army and they persecute people with impunity. Under Maliki the Iraqi government has become so centralized that several provinces — mainly Sunni-majority govenorates — find it impossible to deal with the capital anymore. Last month, members of the Salahaddin provincial council declared autonomy from Baghdad. Diyala and Anbar province are also threatening to part ways with the capital and run their own affairs. In the past, the people of these provinces were firm believers in the unity of Iraq, but the prime minister’s grip on power and the imposition of his party’s will on the entire country has estranged millions. Just recently, Iraqi security forces detained 600 political activists in the central provinces, accusing them of anti-government activities and belonging to the Baath party. Government officials admitted that they had received intelligence from the Syrian regime on these activists. This in itself raises the biggest question about Maliki’s system. The entire world is condemning the Syrian regime for its bloody crackdown on the country’s peaceful protesters and killing thousands since March. But Iraq’s prime minister appears to be building evermore friendly ties with Bashar al-Assad’s regime and getting information from Assad’s dreadful intelligence services, only to use it against Iraqi citizens. Many Iraqi leaders, particularly in Parliament, criticize the prime minister and say he is becoming authoritarian. Iraq’s former watchdog on corruption, Sabah al-Saadi, said he was forced to resign after he uncovered high-level government corruption. Politicians and MPs may enjoy a degree of safety and therefore dare to challenge the prime minister. But journalists must risk their lives should they wish to criticize the current Iraqi government. Local reporters are vulnerable and have no protection. In September, Iraqi radio talk show host Hadi al-Mahdi was assassinated by gunmen in his apartment in Baghdad. Mahdi hosted a daily radio show in which he criticized the government and its leaders, including Prime Minister Maliki, of corruption. Some people believed Maliki’s guards were responsible for silencing Mahdi. Regardless, the government didn’t do anything to protect Mahdi or find the culprits. Once the Americans leave Iraq, it is quite likely that the prime minister himself be the sole cause of the disintegration of the country and hostilities between Iraq’s different ethnic and religious groups.

This could easily be a problem for us.
  3. The one thing you did not equate to is OIL. The reason we went into Iraq was oil. It wasn't WMD and it wasn't out of the goodness of our heart. It was OIL. Do you think two years from now it will be any different? No, we will never let Iran invade iraq. I would think that there are a few other G8 countries feel the same, including China. Just think: If we had spent a trillion or two on alternative energy research and implementation, we would have none of these worries, our military men and women would be whole, but the defense industry wouldn't have any new toys. I say you are likely correct in this, on both the oil statement and the alternative energy idea. As far as the toys for the military, well...as the military becomes more and more techie, perhaps, one would hope, we can save more and more lives, particularly our own troops, and then reduce the size and budget of the military through efficiency.
  4. So...I imagine they will just create their own site. I have to imagine though, that perhaps they may reveal insider information as to what exactly the ongoing "issues" were.
  5. I bought Dinar in the hopes that I will profit from it, like everyone else. I believe I will, but how much, who knows. Anyone that claims to know anything is foolish. No one knows the rate, no one knows the date, no one has any source anywhere that knows anything. Those people that claim these things are, at best, ignorant and wishful, at worst, pumpers and liars. Either way, I have my Dinar and believe it will RV eventually, regardless the hype and the nonsense people think they know. With regard to Iraq and Iran, yes we're leaving, but not really. Yes Iran wants to invade Iraq, but isn't stupid enough to do it right away, especially while we're still nearby. Iran, if they ever invade, will likely wait a few years, let things settle into a peaceful rest, then launch out of the blue like and rush in while everyone has convinced themselves that the area is now peaceful. By then, though, the IQD will have long RVed and I will have long cashed out and been happy. In the end, I really don't care what Iran does with Iraq, so long as they do it AFTER I make my money, AFTER our troops are out, and pray we aren't stupid enough to go in and die trying to save Iraq again.
  6. You spouting some of the conspiracy theory ideas about a one world government, one world currency and so forth. That may happen some day, but since people in the same city can't agree on anything, I don't see a one world anything working out anytime soon, certainly not within the next hundred years or more.
  7. So...I read this to mean or indicate that the IQD will RV about the third week of Nov then, about Thanksgiving then. That's about the time that Adam said he thought it would, which I tend to agree with, at least with regard to the schedule.
  8. It's not rocket science? SAY WHAT??? LOL< Rock on Adam, lol
  9. Not usually, but I do notice that many others do, lol. I will +1 myself to offset an unfair neg when needed.
  10. 3 month VIP membership VIP upgrade 13-October 11 13-January 12 49.99 USD Paid That is copied from my subscriptions area. As far as Dinar Trader, I am talking about DinarBanker, not the same people. DinarBanker is owned by Ty. Check what I have said before you claim to know more than me. Also, Adam has NEVER said that he could get a $0 transaction fee or $0 spread fee, but that he could get a reduction in the spread fee. But hey, whatever dude, rock on.
  11. DinarBanker is not charging $150 per million but per wire transfer. They are also not charging any spread fee other than what CBI will be charging everyone. You claim to know everything, so whatever. You know everything, even me, it would seem, as you judge me to be a coward and a few other things first, initially. OK, whatever. I suspect you of nothing more than talk and of having no real business skills or experience, especially since you are obviously either unwilling or unable to do quality research. NO ONE can negotiate a lower rate than what the CBI will be charging people, IF they charge anything more than the rates they already currently charge. You seem to have an obsessive compulsive issue with me and I would strongly suggest you seek professional help. Here is a quote, direct from DinarBanker's website regarding the cash-in: Upon scheduling your exchange appointment, you will be given specific instructions regarding your exchange appointment. The exchange fee is expected to be $150 per transaction. If you are wiring to multiple accounts, additional wire transfer fees may apply. Each exchange is expected to take between 15-20 minutes. Notice it says per transaction, not per million. If you doubt me, check it for yourself, or call them on the phone, or talk to them on their live online help, or listen to recorded conference calls with Ty (the OWNER). Need I say more?
  12. If you had done your research, you'd know that there is NO SPREAD. Check DinarBanker and half a dozen other sites and see for yourself. The $150 is not per million, but per bank deposit. The buy/sell spread is a true spread, as set by CBI, which everyone will pay and NO ONE can avoid, not even Adam. Many Dinar sellers say they will only be charging $150 per wire transfer, not per million, that's it, no additional spread fees, no extra charges. There is no special deal that can be cut here, as a result, Adam wouldn't be able to negotiate a special deal on behalf of anyone, unless those people were ripping you off in the first place, in which they would simply be ripping you off a little less than someone else. I won't be doing that, I'll be taking my money to the $150 place instead. Talk to Ty from DinarBanker (the owner) and see for yourself, or talk to the many other sites that offer the same or similar deals. If you feel you're going to get a better deal with Adam's "special deal" that he cut on your behalf, then by all means. I have no doubt Adam did get a better deal from those people for his members than his non-members, but that's not hard to do when they know they wouldn't get hsi business otherwise, and when they know they are in fact ripping people off by charging extra spread fees on top of the standard CBI spread that the $150 places aren't charging. No one is knocking Adam here, or his site, just do your own research. Whatever "deal" you think someone else got for you, you can get for yourself if you're doing your own research, especially if you're the successful business man that you claim to be.
  13. LOL, +1 to you, as always, for your efforts, and the smile, lol.
  14. LOL, I'm sorry to have offended anyone and for highjacking the thread, not my intent. My only point is that this site is one of MANY and should be taken as part of a much larger vision of research, and not as gospel and certainly not something to base financial investments on. Feel free to think otherwise. BTW, I'd group group hug with you anyday!, lol
  15. LOL, I thought you were done with this thread, lol. I am not a coward hiding behind a keyboard. I am someone that knows about financials and investing, and am simply saying that you need to rely on multiple sources, not just drink the koolade of one site and be satisfied. I don't understand what you're not understanding about this, or your hostilities toward me about my simply point, but whatever. Feel free to judge me however you'd like, my resume and my experiences need no excuses or justifications, especially from the likes of you. Sorry to have bothered to attempt to enlighten you, ignore my point and continue on about your merry koolade drinking day.
  16. To categorize anyone as part of any group, such as "all of these people..." or "all of those..." simply show ignorance. Thank you for showing, yet again, that people are individuals and don't deserve to be lumped into some group.
  17. Thank god, now shut up. I don't understand why it is people get so angry when logic and reason are introduced to them and their fragile beliefs. Can they not take in the reality of the world and realize that this is a website on the internet full of stuff that may or may not be useful and may or may not be helpful as investment advice? I'm simply saying, take this site for what it is, entertainment, not professional investment advice or a news source. Simple.
  18. I understand you hate this investment and think it's a scam. I also understand you think you're doing a service by trying to convince people not to invest in it. Here's my question to you...are you being successful? Consider this...those that you talk to have already purchased and are likely to purchase more...which means you're not winning them over. Those that might invest are likely going to or not regardless of your input, which means you're not winning them over....which begs the question...whom are you trying to win over? I'd suggest maybe either waste your time, and others', on other things, or try a different approach, as clearing the one you're using now isn't working for you.
  19. LOL, well, actually, I saw this pic here and liked it, so I stole it from here and made it my avatar, lol.
