Thanks for sharing the story Moose !! +1

Good Evening -- I have wondered from time to time why Zap / Poof has not been posted here - but guessed that he / they evidently was somehow put with all the other disliked / hated gurus -- I guess Poof was "out there" a little bit - lol -- but I really enjoyed reading his writings -- He had a distinct style and I enjoyed reading just for the pleasure of reading that unique style --

Zap is more on the light hearted side with his flying purple pigs -- I continue to read him and that is all - just read to stay up to date with what he is saying - I do not put any wagers on what he says - I do not make any decisions based on what he says -- I just read it -- like I would read the newspaper -- lol

I have put myself out there on a limb again by bringing this mid week writing from Zap -- but hey wait just a minute before you jump the gun and brutally attack me please -- this one is different -- It does have some value to it -- at least in my opinion -- It makes sense - There is wisdom in these words - if you want to see it -- I just wanted to share a little something different tonight for your reading pleasure - there is plenty of sad depressing news -- too much in fact - As Always....... UNEEK

ZAP Mid - Week:

IN CONTINUATION OF LAST SUNDAY’S WRITING, THE PROCESSES ARE MOVING FORWARD WELL. ALREADY I HAVE RECEIVED MORE REPORTS OF THE BEGINNING FEW THAT HAVE BEEN PAID ON THEIR ASSETS TRANSACTED ON LAST YEAR.

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, THE UNIVERSE IS CONSPIRING TO GIVE US THE JOY AND PROSPERITY WRITTEN INTO THE PLAN LONG AGO.

RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY SNIPPET OF INTEL OUT THERE IS THAT SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO OCCUR TOMORROW (THURSDAY) IN RESPECT TO THE GCR. OTHERWISE, ALL IS IN PRETTY GOOD BLACKOUT MODE AT THE MOMENT

SO THAT’S ALL FOR THIS WEEK. NOT MUCH. JUST ANTICIPATION OF SOMETHING WONDERFUL ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

SO, THIS WEEK, SINCE THERE IS LITTLE TO SPEAK TO, I DECIDED TO COMPILE A LOT OF GOOD STUFF TO SAY IN A LONG PARAGRAPH BECAUSE PAIN AND SUFFERING ARE INEVITABLE, BUT MISERY IS OPTIONAL.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST OUT OF LIFE AND WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT…KINDA LIKE PLAY-DOH.

OFTEN GREAT AND HELPFUL IDEAS CAN SIMPLY BE ONE THOUGHT THAT COMES AT THE RIGHT TIME AND TOUCHES THE HEART WHEN IT IS NEEDED MOST BECAUSE LIFE IS A PROCESS OF GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SELF.

WHAT YOU LOVE IS WHAT YOU ARE HERE TO DO AND PEOPLE GET INTO TROUBLE NOT BECAUSE THEY WANT TOO MUCH BUT BECAUSE THEY SETTLE FOR TOO LITTLE.

PUT INTO YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS WHAT YOU EXPECT TO TAKE OUT OF IT.

EVERY HUMAN BEING IS A SELF ORGANIZING SYSTEM.

SYSTEMS CAN BE CHANGED TO PRODUCE NEW AND BETTER RESULTS AND SINCE FORGIVING AND FORGETTING IS THE SAME PROCESS, START WITH FORGIVING YOURSELF.

SO IF LIFE THROWS ROCKS AT YOU, DO NOT DESPAIR.

THE BUBBLING BROOK WOULD LOSE ITS SONG IF YOU REMOVED THE ROCKS.

NEVER CRY BECAUSE IT IS OVER, JUST SMILE THAT IT HAPPENED AS HAPPINESS COMES THROUGH DOORS YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW YOU LEFT OPEN, SO EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS OK IN THE END.

IF IT’S NOT, THEN IT’S NOT THE END.

BE KIND.

ONE GOOD EXERCISE FOR THE HEART IS TO BEND DOWN AND HELP ANOTHER UP.

IF ALL MY FRIENDS JUMPED OFF A CLIFF, I WOULDN'T JUMP WITH THEM. I WOULD BE AT THE BOTTOM TO CATCH THEM.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THE UNIVERSE ALWAYS WANTS BIGGER & BETTER THINGS FOR YOU.

YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING YOU DESIRE.

YOU ARE NEVER GIVEN A DREAM WITHOUT ALSO BEING GIVEN THE POWER TO MAKE IT COME TRUE.

NEVER TAKE ADVICE FROM ANYONE WHO HAS NOT CREATED THAT WHICH YOU DESIRE IN YOUR LIFE. THESE PEOPLE HAVE THE OPINION OF WANTING TO SAVE YOU FROM YOURSELF.

IT'S JUST THEIR OPINION. IT MAY BE WRONG FOR THEM –

HOWEVER, IT'S EXACTLY RIGHT FOR YOU & WHAT YOU WANT. SO STOP TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING PERFECT AT ONCE. CREATE ALONG THE WAY.

DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT FOR YOU AND DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HOLD YOU BACK.

JUST DO IT.

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IN YOUR LIFE. WHAT YOU WANT TO CREATE IN YOUR LIFE.

YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DESIRE. YOU CAN CREATE IN YOUR WORLD ALL THAT YOU WANT. SEE IT IN YOUR MINDS EYE. FEEL IT IN YOUR HEART. FLOOD YOUR BODY WITH IT.

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DESIRE RIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP & HAVE YOUR MIND THINK ABOUT IT ALL NIGHT. WHEN YOU REALLY BELIEVE IT, YOU CAN CREATE EVERYTHING YOU DESIRE IN YOUR LIFE.

BELIEVE THAT YOU POSSESS SIGNIFICANT RESERVES OF HEALTH, ENERGY AND ENDURANCE AND YOUR BELIEF WILL CREATE THE FACT BUT BE COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT THE MAN WHO INSISTS UPON SEEING WITH PERFECT CLEARNESS BEFORE HE DECIDES, NEVER DECIDES.

IT DOES NOT REQUIRE A MAJORITY TO PREVAIL, BUT RATHER AN IRATE, TIRELESS MINORITY KEEN TO SET BRUSH FIRES IN PEOPLE'S MINDS.

NOTHING IN LIFE IS TO BE FEARED, IT IS ONLY TO BE UNDERSTOOD SO LET HIM THAT WOULD MOVE THE WORLD, FIRST MOVE HIMSELF AS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS SO POWERFUL AS AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME.

AND NO, WAR IS NOT GOD'S WAY OF TEACHING US GEOGRAPHY. PAUSE TO REFLECT ON THE REAL SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD:

1. TO TOUCH

2. TO TASTE

3. TO SEE

4. TO HEAR

5. TO FEEL

6. TO LAUGH

7. AND TO LOVE

AND THOSE WHO WERE SEEN DANCING WERE THOUGHT TO BE INSANE BY THOSE WHO COULD NOT HEAR THE MUSIC BY THE PURPLE PIG PORK BAND.

AND FINALLY, FOR THOSE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED FAILURE IN ANY UNDERTAKING, KNOW THAT GOOD PLANS ARE EASY TO COME BY.

FOR EVERY BAD PLAN, I WILL SHOW YOU 10 GOOD ONES. BUT SHOW ME A MAN WHO CAN MEND A BROKEN PLAN, AND I WILL MAKE HIM FREE OF MY QUARTERDECK AND MASTER OF HIS OWN SHIP.

THE TEST TO FIND WHETHER YOUR MISSION ON EARTH IS FINISHED: IF YOU'RE ALIVE, IT ISN'T.

IN REGAL GRATITUDE. THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO HAVE FUN. ZAP

Salutations to all here who remember us fondly.

May God Bless & Keep every one of you.

Hey 'OlSarge'sGals -- Do you remember me?? ha ha -- I bet you are surprised to see I am still here lol

I remember & cherish you "fondly" and miss you terribly - so sorry for the loss -- Please stay safe and thank you for checking in!! It did my heart good to see your post!! ((((HUGS)))) and prayers for you!! UNEEK

February 3, 2015

wow -- all of this police brutality and such -- makes me want to hide in my house period -- you are not safe from the criminals or the law - I do not like what is happening and what is showing up on videos -- makes you wonder just how long this sort of thing has been going on -- before people had cell phones and the internet to expose it

I am not taking a stand on the video above as I don't really know who is in the right - but other things I have seen have been alarming -- I even fear calling 911 now -- besides I have already had a first hand experience that was mentally & emotionally brutal from the local sheriffs office when I reported a break-in - it was horrible and as horrible as it was -- I consider myself lucky to have escaped without physical injury or death as some did not --

February 2, 2015

Thanks for the videos +1 I was a big fan of her music -- and it did hurt to see her life end so tragically -- I have been following this news about the daughter from day 1 -- so very sad -- I hope she pulls through with full recovery and turns her life around and becomes her own earned success story -- I have not heard her sing but read where she does sound like her mother -- I so loved Whitney's music --

BOBBI KRISTINA ONE POSITIVE SIGN ... But Still in Peril

Doctors saw a slight glimmer of hope for Bobbi Kristina Monday morning -- but they remain clear she's not out of the woods.

Sources connected to the Houston family tell TMZ ... doctors were testing BK's brain reaction to different stimuli, and saw "minimal response" during one of the tests. We're told doctors view this as a very slight improvement -- but it's enough to delay any immediate discussion of turning off life support.

As we've reported ... the situation has been bleak, and we're told just last night the family started discussing funeral arrangements.

Bobbi Kristina's been in a medically induced coma since Saturday ... when she was found unconscious in her bathtub.

I have been following the thread -- sure hope someone hears from him soon -- I was wondering if anyone had sent him an email -- Also would like to hear from the sarges gals --

Will be good to hear from razur again as well -- Prayers for all to be safe !!!!

February 2, 2015

Whatshername -- lol no problem -- it is what it is - society / culture -- just how you view things I guess - what you accept as okay or not okay - and of course your up bringing influence -- There are a lot worse things happening and definitely could use & probably deserve my energy & attention more so than the verbal profanity -

Maybe if no harm or offense was intended then I could more easily let it slide - or just ignore it -- and I feel sure there was none here Aside from the profanity - they were dog gone good advertisements!! lol

Manure... An interesting fact

Manure : In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before the invention of commercial fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common.

It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it become heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane gas of course. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen.

Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!

Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening

After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the instruction ' Stow high in transit ' on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.

Thus evolved the term ' S.H.I.T ' , (Stow High In Transit) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.

You probably did not know the true history of this word. Neither did I.

And now we that did not have a clue -- know the rest of the story -- lol Carry On

February 2, 2015

Indeed true, and pure public conditioning to keep that

fear and paranoia going. At this time, I do not think it

could be more bold and obvious. All mainstream news

bar none is now fully on the bandwagon of dispensing

fear, it is not healthy for anyone to partake of it for even

small amount of time. These type stories just underscore

how out of control it has become...for a reason.

Jim I think you are right --

February 2, 2015

wow OMG -- no words to express this -- you can't make threats - but you can't pray or hug another - no wonder kids are put on anti depressants -- who would not be confused with all the signals they are getting ?? I am so glad I am not in school now -- But my grandchildren are - what is the remedy for this madness????

Thanks pluMmet - +1 you always bring good stuff!! I'm looking for that other good post for today -- lol

February 2, 2015

Hey Bigwave - thanks -- I thought that that the info would have been discussed more -- you know picking it apart - lol of course I couldn't do much of it lol but sure would benefit by the smart ones here doing it -- which is what I had hoped for --

I still read the thoughts - opinions - etc of all -- I like to compare and make my own decision -- but bottom line -- I am not so sure anyone really "knows" the who - what - when - where & how of this thing -- lol really -- Nice to see your comments -

February 2, 2015

Uneek,

It seems like you have a sweet spirit and may not know why there are reactions to certain pumpers. Here's why Mountain Goat evokes such strong emotions. Mountain Goat said she was a woman who lived in the mountains of Germany. She is actually a he who lives in New Jersey. Kinda like Katie45 being Kap, for example. That kind of deception is certainly not necessary to be a pumper. Goat, woman in the know, johnniewg (the guy with the squirrels who broke away from Okie in 2011) all have said they were in groups (general's) and cashed out. I didn't read your post above, and refuse to. It is all blah, blah, blah from someone who has a huge ego. Why keep talking if you cashed out?? oh, yeah, you didn't, did you. I think Mountain Goat may be fishing for some shills like Nadita did.

Thank you for your efforts to explain -- very kind of you -- I know the presumed history / identity etc of Mtn goat -- I sure as heck do not know for sure anything about her or even the other ones - we most all hide behind screen names -- ( a few have been exposed over the years ) lol -- its kinda a shame that society / environment has come to that huh? Lots of fear mongering and yet there are real things to be concerned about and take precautions for --

I was just under the impression that the negs were against the info -- and not the poster -- and maybe that was the reason for the neg and I over reacted -- lol - Geeze I know some folks get really riled up over some of the stuff that is brought over -- but we do have a section for it -- lol -- think I will leave this section to Thug who has the fortitude - skill & talent to handle it all -- lol I guess I'm not cut out for the task lol Thanks again for your response

The second best part of the RV will be that last of these gurus.

I so agree with you on that one !!! Geeze -- Hurry Up RV

February 2, 2015

Well I don't think I will be posting her anymore -- not sure why anyone wants to neg the poster for bringing it to read -- and no one is obligated to endure the long read either - so why even bother or waste your time on it if you know ahead of time you don't like her - don't agree with her and it's all rumor anyway? Geeze ---- UNEEK

February 2, 2015

wow -- thanks for the entertainment -- I really liked their creativity and writing skills but sure wish folks were not so bent on using profanity in just about every sentence -- It is shocking what is allowed and accepted to be said and written these days and most people don't even flinch -- just me I guess lol

February 2, 2015

eburt ----- lol ----- well I love to read ( I also enjoy writing - but do that mostly for my own reflection) but I am "very selective" as to what I do read as my time is limited -- I do not watch tv at all - haven't in years and do not miss it -- I would much rather read and be enlightened for years instead of being entertained (or disappointed) for a few minutes -- All in one's choices --

Not judging anyone who watches tv -- I do watch documentaries & some you tube videos -- I am glued to the pc probably too much but do take advantage of the info that is made available to us --

My last comment would be --- Those who do not read have no advantage over those who cannot read -- so.... reading to be informed is a priority of mine -- UNEEK

OMG!!! This woman is so long winded -- it just amazes me how she can go on & on -- I hope she is wrong about it maybe being another month !!!!

UU1012 – “Re-positioning Iraq for Wealth” by Mnt Goat

Hi Everyone,

Today’s news letter is a long one. Sorry but there is so much confusion now and people are anxious and wondering where is the RV. So I have to take some time now to explain to you what is going on.

I hope everyone also read my last news letter dated 01/28 and 01/30 since this is a continuation of this ongoing saga and this news letter will then make more sense to you.

Today’s News

Today is Monday Feb 2nd and still no RV. Very, very interesting articles coming out of Iraq now in the aftermath of last week’s historical passing of the 2015 Budget Law.

One article in particular I thought I would share with you and should be explained in detail since it is telling so much on when they intend to open and spend parts of their budget.

We all should know by now that when they do begin to spend the 2015 budget they will need to fund it somehow. They will have to have an international currency to meet their international obligations. There is no way around it.

Perceptions/Speculation

If they open this budget and do not have the funding to meet it (liquidity) they will be insolvent. This will not go over too well with the international community since there are international obligations within the budget they needed to fulfill. They will lose credibility.

In the face of what they are confronting with the money needed to fight ISIS and all the bad publicity about the corruption of Maliki, (the 800+ billion of missing funds) and how they are trying to create a safe haven for investors and tourists to come into Iraq, I sincerely do not believe they will want to be looked at as an insolvent country. I do not believe this will happen.

In fact in my mind I fully believe this funding must come very soon. I believe they have already provided for some of these funds, as I described in my last couple news letters. I will not explain this again and I rely on you to go read them.

We see yet more articles too on this topic coming out such as the needed international tie-in for the Mastercard. Did you read this one? I sensed a frustration in that one.

There is also the ATM machines where they can not use the 3 zero notes. These machines have been purchased as a great cost to modernize Iraq years ago however they can only be used when the lower denominations are issued (such as when the purchasing power of their currency increases significantly).

Kuwait too has decided to postpone future war reparation payments as they make backdoor deals to get this owed money on other terms.

Can they ratify the budget and then just sit on it?

Yes they certainly can do this. They have done this with countless other laws already. This has been a huge problem all along for anyone trying to figure out this process. It is the not as straight forward as we would like it to be. But remember also we are not in the Maliki administration anymore.

Things are now different and moving along. There is a whole “package” of laws they are sitting on.

They are all related and interconnected with the implementation of the budget law and so we can expect them all to be released about the same timeframe. Something for all of us to watch for in the Iraqi news. Could it be other laws still need a fine-tuning?

Does placing the budget in the Gazette (their law library) automatically cause it to be implemented?

Technically the answer to this question is – YES. This is how it is supposed to work. However they have already taken many laws in the past and posted them in the Gazette only to implement them months later.

So there is no guarantee they will not now do this with the 2015 budget law if they get stalled in implementing the revaluing process of their currency. I am not saying they are going to do this but I am saying it is a possibility.

If we do not see some re-pricing of the dinar very soon – like this week sometime we know the CBI is having issues with establishing the value they need for the currency and they will not revalue until the economy of Iraq is re-positioned to do so.

I explain all this in much more detail under the topic of “future value of the IQD” section of this news letter. What explain what I mean by “re-positioned” or “re-positioning”.

But first let’s look at the current news about the 2015 budget saga because this event is driven by the target timeline (or deadline) of this re-positioning to be completed as you will see.

Current News Article

It was announced by the parliamentary Finance Committee member Ola Nashi that the 2015 budget was sent to the presidency on Sunday for ratification as required. The president of Iraq now has 30 days to approve the bill or voice his objections to parliament.

Nashi also added in a statement to the press that the process of sending the law to the presidency and ratified take one month only. So he confirmed the process for us.

Nashi also commented that it would be announced in the Official Gazette and rendering it to online sites for the citizens to view.

Now here is the interesting part of her news blast. She also explained that money to allocated to the ministries of justice, agriculture, trade, and for Intelligence and National Security will begin as of the first of the next month of March. The allocations for the Ministry of Education will begin starting from September of this year.

What does this mean to us. This tells us where they are in the process of finalizing the budget. Technically president Masoum could take till the end of February to ratify it and they could be in a holding pattern for any re-pricing of their currency until this timeframe.

Nashi does say in fact that the allocations for certain ministries would not begin until March.

This tells that even if Masoum does speedily ratify the budget they are not in a position to open it and begin spending it for these ministries until this time.

I believe she is making this news conference to satisfy the citizens and to let them know when the funding is to be applied. sort of settling the crowds since they have been promised these reforms for so long.

But what about all the other ministries like the interior ministry? There are huge sums allocated for items related to this ministry. Here we see is where all the reconstruction projects are and the money for the National Guard efforts. We know these security forces have been without pay now for over a month.

They are now threatening to walk off the job if not paid. Can they wait until March? Nashi is not saying they would since she does not talk about when the allocations for this ministry would be spent.

$$$ Future Value of the IQD $$$

This is one of the most misunderstood issues in these dinar intel forums. I see how these so called dinar “gurus” have messed with your minds and totally confused many on this topic. Many of these gurus have no business preaching news about this currency revaluation since they really know very little.

So let me explain and clarify this topic for you. I hope this will help you. However it is a long read and my explanation takes time to understand but it is well worth the long read. So please settle back and relax. Get a cup of coffee and your reading glasses. Maybe even print it out and take it to the toilet with you….lol…..

Remember the CBI can not just arbitrarily just say their currency is worth a new value. THEY MUST CREATE THE VALUE FIRST !

So what does it mean to CREATE VALUE to a currency? For the sake of argument let’s say Iraq did arbitrarily come out with a $3.58 rate. Can they sustain this rate long term?

Many of you are now saying – Of course they can! Do you say this just because you heard about all the oil reserves they have? Really? Think not! Let me explain.

You probably answered this question only from what these “gurus” have been telling you and not from the facts of where the re-pricing process currently is. Re-pricing process?

Yes - there is a plan and this is why everyone keeps saying there is so much for the CBI to do to set up for the revaluation. However it is really not so much the CBI as it is the GOI doing all the ground work.

We see this everyday with the new laws and the unification process. This is all related the positioning of Iraq for a new phase in its history.

Abadi and his team along with the parliament and the workforce here. The CBI is just the brains of this re-positioning effort.

So how to find the value of this $3.58 rate I would first ask this question - What did they “peg” it to? There must be a standard currency used to gauge the new value. The US dollar index is the most widely used and it is widely used in pricing for trade between nations.

You see this international trade is very important. They will need to peg it to something since any rate is arbitrary until substantiated. Trade revenue is what brings in wealth from other nations.

The game is simple- you (meaning other international countries) have wealth and we (Iraq) would like to have it. If we are successful in our trade policies we can provide goods and services to you and you provide us with a stream of revenue. If Iraq manages these new revenues appropriately (prevent corruption) they can become a very wealthy nation.

Contrary to many who believe that Iraq is already wealthy let me say this.

Wealth is real money in the bank or a legally substantiated potential for wealth. Iraq will not be “wealthy” until they can figure out how to milk their trading partners and do it so their trade balance is normalized with higher net revenues (cost of net exports exceeds cost of net imports).

I am no economist but this was all clearly explained to me as to how the CBI plans to create value to their new currency. This value must be realized prior to any revaluation.

So listen carefully to these next paragraphs as to how they intend to do this. All these laws you have been reading about are not for nothing.

They all move this country in a direction towards increased “future” wealth. It is more than just reinstating the IQD such as what they did in Kuwait and I think this is leading many to confusion. The effort in Iraq is monumental in what they are doing in comparison.

We should all be glad too since Iraq will then be able to sustain long term growth. I can’t wait for the huge spike in value too once the investors home in.

Personally I am taking 10% of my IQD and putting it aside to exchange later on this spike in value. I am going to be patient and wait. This is my plan not any advisement. Back to the news….lol…

Next I would look as a host of variables that substantiate the increased value, i.e. how much oil, gold and other minerals. There have been many articles in this area so we know they have the wealth in the ground as with their great oil reserves. But also I would look at the exports.

What exports does Iraq currently have? Yes oil is an export but it does no good if kept in the ground. It is not an export if in the ground. Wealth is measured at realized revenue stream or a legalized potential for wealth. This is in part what brings up the value of your currency.

So oil reserves discovered in the ground is great but alone is not true wealth. Having a legalized plan (pumping so many barrels per year to market) is a projected export.

But still how do you guarantee this extraction and the bringing of it to market s you can include this value into your currency valuation equation? (especially when you know the tribes do not get along in Iraq. The Kurds own all the oil and the Sheites and Sunnis need it).

They must establish legal pumping requirements to let investors know what they intend to take out of the ground on a scheduled basis. If this becomes law then they can substantiate this future wealth.

Get how it works? Thus you can now see the need for the HCL law and why it was so important? Why they needed this law to establish any real future and present value from this oil commodity?

We have read many articles from the WTO and the IMF too already stating that Iraq must diversify its exports such as in agriculture and other products for trade. What did they mean by this? Let me give you a few examples.

We also know they have not one but two of the largest gold mines. What will they do with all this gold?

They will make it into products of course such marketable items as necklaces, watchbands, rings, etc..and then export them or sell them to tourists. Gold is also used in electronics and many other industrial processes.

Iraq also has the largest bauxite ore mine in the world. Did you know this? Do you know what bauxite is used for? It is to be exported as a raw mineral in the making of aircraft parts. It is used in the manufacturing of light weight, high strength aluminum skins and parts for aircraft.

So these are just some of their higher end exports. But again how do they get the bauxite ore to the barges to ship as an export? Again this is where the funding of the 2015 budget comes into play.

There is funding for infrastructure of roads and rail lines from the mines upto the ports for transportation. Are you now getting it?

So if they can substantiate and show how they can bring this bauxite ore to market then it becomes a REAL part of the value equation (of any revaluation formula) and not just ore sitting in the ground.

Many politicians are simple politicians and do not understand this. Dr, Shabibi knows it well and is coaching them well on this topic.

But what about the potential for a booming tourism trade? Don’t under rate the revenues from tourism. They can be substantial. But they will need security and a safe place to have fun and see the sites of the cradle of civilization and museums.

Thus the National Guard and other infrastructure funding is important such as the need for constant electricity, hospitals, good airports, transportation, shopping malls, hotels, roads, clean cities, etc,,.

This is in the budget too. Thus this effort to decentralize has a duel purpose.

Are you beginning now to see how it is all interconnected? The 2015 budget is to provide the funding for these efforts. You now see how it all pieces together nicely to begin to CREATE value to the Iraq dinar by legally obligating them to complete these projects by providing the funding.

See how Iraq is positioning itself to provide for this REAL future value in their currency. See how they must implement some of these simple laws we overlook as trivial but are important to any RV.

So to make a long story short we will never figure out just how they are re-pricing their currency and what formulas they are using since it is a kept secret. I can go on forever on this topic.

So please put this to rest. Stop guessing on what rate will come out. Take your time instead to study more of how they could increase the value by what they are doing in all these projects they have slated.

Study the new laws, the future infrastructure projects, exporting practices, tariffs and the timing to rolling them out. This is time better spent !

This will give you more of an indication of the RV timing than anything else. Please stop listening to these “guru” who are telling you everyday its going to RV just because their “contacts” tell them it will. They may be well intended but not factual.

How many of you readers work in the insurance industry? Would you give away your underwriting secrets and actuarial formulas to competitors? Of course not. This is your bread and butter.

If you were to know this information you could drastically alter and influence the marketable rates of your competitors. So it is the same with a countries currency rates.

You could theoretically influence an entire economy of a country and cause currency manipulations if you knew these secrets. You could make billions in currency trading and you could create havoc.

So my advice is just stop trying to figure out what the new rate of the dinar will be. It is way too complicated for us. We know the rate will be fair and that Dr Shabibi (now heading the CBI once again) wants it as high as needed to jump start their economy. But first there must be these re-valuing items like I mentioned about put into place so he can substantiate the value prior to rolling it out.

He is relying on the GOI and parliament to do this for him. He is not in control of this area. He has had many meetings already with the GOI and head of parliament to establish is expectations in this area.

So we must look at what we know to be facts. This is all we can go by. The only facts we have is what they tell us in the articles, the news media and any contacts we might have in Iraq feeding us day-to-day information.

We can’t forget what was told to us in the past. We must remember and tie it in with what they now are doing. Everything has a purpose. Everything is for a reason.

The CBI did say they would be pegging the new value to a “basket of currencies”. What is in this basket is not yet officially known. We wait for them to announce it to us. This will be a huge sign to us that we are yet even closer to the revaluation.

I believe the Kuwait dinar and currencies of other neighboring countries will be included in this basket. This is my opinion. But remember this is only one or many factors used in the re-pricing.

Other facts that we know is that the CBI has begun the project to delete the zeros YEARS AGO and is completed with the project in-country. Nearly 80% of all the 3 zero notes have been recycled back to the banks and turned back into the CBI already. In return the CBI gave them USD.

This was in an article by the CBI not rumor but fact. So there are very little dinars left on the streets in Iraq. So where are they going to get this $119 trillion dinars from for the new budget funding? Did you wonder about this?

So the mainstream currency being used in Iraq is once again the US dollar since they turned in 80% of the 3 zero notes in exchange for USD. Now that they dollarized once again it is time to de-dollarize to complete the conversion process for the next step. You can’t just give out FREE money.

So the next step is to exchange the USD for the lower denom notes or coins ($1. $5, $10, $20, $50 bills). But here is the clincher. The CBI has told us in many articles that they are prohibiting the future use of the USD in international trade transactions and in-country commerce. So you now see why they did this.

They have not yet enforced this law. Just another one of those laws ratified and in the Gazette but not yet fully implemented, as I mentioned.

How can they do this until the lower denoms are fully distributed and the new currency value is announced. Do you see what I mean? There is so much interconnected in this revaluation process. It is truly almost all set up now.

So there you have it. You now know why it may or may not take a bit more time to “position” the country to a revaluing situation. If Iraq can not truly substantiate the value they need they will continue this re-positioning effort until the CBI is satisfied of the value needed.

It may take some more time or they be now be completed. Who truly knows- do you?

So bottom line – If no REAL substantiated value for an increase in rate then no RV will happen.

This process is spearheaded by the GOI with guidance from the CBI. The governor of the CBI knows this process well and is working closely with the GOI to complete this re-positioning process.

It will be completed soon. It simply has to. Since no one really knows just how far reaching this effort goes (we don’t have a checklist) we can only suppose that the RV could happen any day now but from what the recent articles are telling me it might be later than sooner meaning maybe another month. Just my opinion from what I am now hearing and reading. Please don’t shoot the messenger ! I too find it hard to believe we must wait this long.

So you see Al-Abadi along with the CBI have to make a decision soon on when to RV this currency.

I believe this decision has already been made weeks ago and we are now in the final countdown window now that the budget is truly done. Can Iraq be fully positioned in increased value in time to open and begin spending this budget to meet this RV timeline?

WOW -- it continues to get ugly -- doesn't it?? at least he got a warning -- not sure about all those others ( bankers & CEO's ) who left their jobs ( and life period) --

Does it ever make you wonder if those high paying -- high profile -- high stress jobs are really worth it??? Like I have heard before .... Ignorance is Bliss -- lol maybe there is some truth in that ??? To whom much is given ..... much is required .... another good one -- Maybe there is something to be said for being "average" ?? lol UNEEK

I would like to add .... It may not be the "JOB" but the company - the administrators ?? The situations? The circumstances? I do not want to give the impression that any one aspiring to be all they can be and working towards a position on Wall Street or in Corporate Banking hire a body guard -- Just keep a good set of morals & ethics - be aware of surroundings etc

Hello Shelley -- well I kinda agree with you but don't think the admins would agree exactly if the same article -- I will strive to be a little more creative and post more "similar" ones to keep us aware - attentive - and hopefully wiser with our decisions -

I will spend a chunk at first to replace my 125 yr old house and 9 yr old car lol but that won't exactly happen over night as I don't even have them picked out -- I feel many of us want to be wise with our money and will be but I also feel some spending right off the bat will give us some relief and satisfaction for being on this long ride -- lol

Good Morning, Memphis is one of those serious Free Thinkers -- He reads & studies a lot - he use to post at KTFA; and so did a lot of others - Well we know what eventually happens when someone thinks there's too many chiefs & not enough indians lol -

Memphis now sends out his summaries, thoughts, opinions, etc to a mailing list and gets circulated to DinarLand - His writings are most of the time a little over my head but I feel sure many here will digest it easily -- whether they agree totally or not -- lol -- Maybe some here will share their perspective and understanding for all to benefit -- UNEEK

"The problem ain't what people know. It's what people know that ain't so that's the problem." ~ Will Rogers

I love that quote. It has come to mind often thruout this dinar journey. After typing thousands of pages of material in the past 3 yrs I look back and see that a good portion of it was simply pointing. Pointing to things, both global and domestic changes, that I saw clearly would have a lasting effect on us all.

As Will Rogers astutely observed, we each have misconceptions of our world and my assumption is always that I am not alone in attempting to root them out. To minimize them and REPLACE them with reality.

PICK A SIDE - ACTIVE OR PASSIVE

Last time I made the statement:

"Confidence may seem an elusive thing right now but it will come. Our obvious best friend towards this end is knowledge and as we grow in THAT, our confidence will soar."

Most of my emails last year were not premeditated (be nice). As "real world" examples popped up, I pointed. I get extremely excited when I "see" something that has value KNOWING that few others will see it from the same perspective and thus risk missing a great opportunity to see more clearly how our world truly spins. To add knowledge.

Tonight I am again excited to release this blog. What a shame if we have a real world practical example simply pass us by because we were looking elsewhere!

In preparing for the challenges that lie ahead AFTER the re-pricing of the IQD we each have a hurdle to overcome, a new language to learn. The language of finance. These terms can largely remain abstract to us if not seen in the real world. Today's blog will illuminate one such term.

For all but the seasoned investor, our financial future depends upon entrusting the right persons which first implies that we know enough to seek him/her out of a crowd!

This then requires that we roll up our sleeves and "go to school". This school for me began a few years ago when I gave up my day job of paraphrasing Iraqi news articles and I can proudly report that I have just now scratched the surface!

For most readers the majority of your investment choices will become "passive" in nature as the knowledge needed to invest "actively" is not for the faint of heart. Trust me on this.

Talk is cheap but try making that REAL decision with REAL money? O well, I have never tried to convince folks on anything as it never works. We have to see it for ourselves and (I believe) soon we will.

For others tho, those with a mind to actively manage their wealth, you'll need a rounded macro view of the entire globe as your world will quickly become about managing risk.

Risk however is not a one dimensional problem but has many potential points that must each be recognized, analyzed and quantified.

If the word passive is not part of your makeup then today's blog is tailored to you. It contains a practical "real world" example that will illuminate the discussion of "political risk", an important aspect of risk for any active investor that IMO receives too little attention.

THE PERFECT GOVERNMENT?

Before we look at Greece in our example of political risk can you imagine what the perfect gov't might look like? One that would present to us (as investors) a political risk as close to zero as possible?

Many of you naturally would answer America here but as a contrarian I would suggest no. Never has a republic stood up against the eventual corruption from within (it's politicians) and without (those who would control the game).

That form of gov't most likely to stand and resist such erosions is a pure democracy where the people decide all. This then makes Switzerland the poster child of possibility and (as investors) a nation that should be studied and watched in the years ahead.

If I were to ask you to name one politician from Switzerland I doubt if any hands would be raised. Why is that? It is largely because the PEOPLE are center stage. To my point here, their politicians do not have great power and hold sway over all matters. It is by the vote that matters of importance are settled.

Before arousing a political debate here (NOT my desire) let's shift to what may arguably be the opposite extreme.

So,what does Greece have to do with our discussion on risk? Plenty. But only if we have ALL the information!

If our "opinion" (our reality) is based on what we have seen on TV then we have SOME of the facts. These facts tell us that Greece may soon default on it's debt and exit the European Union. And they may, but is there more?

If the above were the full story, and Greece DID default, then Greece would be a GREAT source of opportunity for capital as their economy would surely begin to heal very quickly. Confidence would soar and (not unlike Switzerland) capital would start pouring in to this tiny nation or at least that is my position.

Confidence is everything and what we are witnessing, and about to witness to an even greater degree in the years ahead, is a great shifting in confidence. Imagine a loose cannon on the deck in a tempest tossed sea and you'll get the idea.

This is where our little discussed aspect of risk comes into play. Fresh on the heels of the Greek election what do we know about the new controlling Syriza party? Is there anything of importance? Are they truly JUST the "anti-austerity" party as mainstream media is telling us?

In defining risk, using a global mindset, we must always consider political risk. This is one of those terms that we must add to our new language but given the volume of new terms that surely are hard for us to quantify and give value to, I am today pointing to Greece and suggesting that (as investors) this is a perfect real world example of the supreme importance of defining ALL risks.

Please don't fail to appreciate that there can be various risk categories applied but for today's purposes? One of the biggies that I see often ignored (seldom talked about) is political. After reading the article linked below you will forever remember the need to take into account political risk.

Is Greece soon to be a hot spot for the value investor or is it more likely to be a turbulent home for only the sharpest of crisis investors?

I think the latter but regardless THIS is a PERFECT example of the changes taking place in our world. It is then up to us to go seize the opportunity that is afforded.

LIVING ON THE EDGE

An important thought in closing.

I have a habit that has been with me from my earliest memories. It has never seemed odd to me and until recent years I assumed that most folks shared my habit.

That turned out however not to be the case. It appears that I am rather odd in that I take EVERYTHING to the extreme. Immediately after being presented with new information it is taken to it's possible extremes. It's my way of chewing on it.

Both "worst case" and "best case" scenarios are imagined based on all probabilities at hand and then I attempt to find balance. In time an equilibrium forms and that is then where I become "settled" on the matter.

Here's why I share this...

Despite what we hear and read in alternate media SELDOM do we witness the extreme possibility become reality. This is important to ponder for what we now see manifesting in the world is exceptional.

I won't go into the many factors driving things globally (other than to mention the extreme of sovereign debts) but allow me today to simply point out that we are witnessing the extreme in Greece. Extraordinary circumstances in that nation have brought about a radical shift in their government and this will have a ripple effect in the region, of that you can be certain.

Is this to be an isolated example? I think not. What we once considered extreme is changing and I think this trend will continue.

It goes with the word "volatility" like Robin goes with Batman and if we think back just 3 weeks another example pops up...

The SNB made a surprising move in the middle of the day when they unpegged the Franc to the Euro. The result?

An unprecedented move in their currency. This was an extreme event folks and extreme events? They change how people think, how they react and THIS is the secret to understanding how and why capital moves.

Exciting times indeed!!

Point Well noted Machine -- I have not bought margarine in probably over 15 yrs -- I am frugal but food and my health are not something I take lightly or scrimp on lol - I hope others read your post and take heed -- I am not perfect but I do make as many healthy choices as I can live with --

I have never smoked or used drugs - I do not drink alcohol but I do have a weakness for Pepsi -- not the diet ones either -- Sugar is another weakness I wish I could get over -- but I am on no medications and I am only about 10 lbs heavier than I would like to be -- or considered over weight -
