  1. And this is after the article that was published not long ago about ISIS selling the women and children as slaves to make money because a large part of their money suppy has been cut off. I say bull snot on this one. Just my opinion. ISIS is getting weaker as the days pass. Although I do hope it will speed up the CBI and they RI or RV whichever term you choose.
  2. LOL. Or they are talking about $1 million Dinar, if thats the case I will take 1 or 2 lol.
  3. Someone should explain to them that the Virgins are all men lol.
  4. Houses $1,000.00 USD per sq ft? Thats almost 10 times of what it is here lol. So why not RV their currency 10 times ours, lol. Let's see, .85 X 10 = $8.50 USD/IDQ. I'm all for that. Lol. Looks like the White House and needs the military to protect it just like our real one. Hmmmm.....new home for Obama. Just Say'n
  5. I like the in addition to, ,,,,, now lets just get the addition to my bank account,
  6. I agree. I was just answering the question someone else posted on "what would the 250 note be if they moved the 3 000's?". I have no opinion anymore on what they are thinking or going to do, lol. I ain't sure they even know. It's all speculation and I am glad I'm on the ride no matter which way it goes.
  7. If they deleted the 3 000's off the notes and took the 25,000 note to 25, then a 250 note would go to .25 note like our quarter. It would be = to one quarter of 1 Dinar.
  8. Very informative. Thanks. Supports what I have always suspected. Wish all Americans would pull their head out of the sand and stand together to make the changes needed. Just like in the elections here. One can win the popular vote but lose the electorial vote. DOes that mean that the peoples choice wins? Not to me it doesn't.
  9. A life without dreams is a hopeless life. We all, I hope, dream of one day not having to work everyday and enjoy a comfortable retirement. We dream of places we would like to go see or visit. We all wonder/dream of what it would be like to be able to help others and not have to worry about how to pay the electric bill. I, for one, dream of helping my uncle build a family ranch and let the less fortunate kids come and experience what we enjoyed as we grew up. No, my family was not and I am still not rich, YET. I dream of making this happen one day so when I die, I will know I gave back the enjoyment I was fortunate enough to enjoy. I am getting older and have experienced a lot of things in my lifetime. This is one thing I would love to have the chance to Pay Forward. Just my Daydreaming.
  10. By the time I got to the bottom reading, I forgot what you said at the top! Don't rekon it was enough to offend anyone. I hope this happens before long so people will get the hate out of their head. YOU didn't tell them to buy or sell them their Dinar, so why be upset with ya. Have a great long weekend everyone.
  11. I watched the whole game. It was a good game but I dont think Holland deserved to get that penalty kick. What's done is done. I was rooting for Mexico. Always next year.
  12. Well, they don't work much so, teah they have a lot of energy to make babies. Raise their income and work them more days per year. Raise the value of the monies they get paid in. in 13 years they almost doubled their population. Wow they are busy when they aren't working.
  13. Iraq’s Remarkable Stock ExchangePosted on 07 June 2014. Tags: Baghdad, Iraq, Iraqi Stock Exchange, shares, stock market By John Lee. Arabian Business has published a revealing interview with ISX chief Taha Abdulsalam al-Rubaye, outlining the incredible challenges the stock exchange has faced since its creation from the old “Baghdad stock exchange” under Iraq’s sanctions hit economy of the 1990s. Despite terrifying security challenges, the ISX success has been monumental, but al-Rubaye notes the difficulties that still remain in promoting economic diversification and cutting red tape in Iraq. Incredibly, the article reports how last year, “871 billion shares were traded on the exchange, with a total value of $2.371bn” and that according to market researchers FMG, the ISX has seen “the fastest earnings per share growth of any stock exchange anywhere in the world.” You can read the full piece here. http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2014/06/07/iraqs-remarkable-stock-exchange/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
  14. Italy Enters KRG Oil Controversy Posted on 07 June 2014. Tags: Baghdad, Ceyhan, Iraq, Kurdish regional government, Turkey By John Lee. The Italian Industry Ministry has issued a letter to refineries and traders, warning of legal action that may be taken by Iraq’s State Oil Marketing Company in the event of purchasing oil from the Kurdish region. At the time of writing, the cargo vessel United Leadership was moored in the Mediterranean, laden with 1 million barrels of oil taken from storage tanks at the Turkish port of Ceyhan. Reuters interviewed an anonymous Italian trader who noted that Italy’s warning was a sign of how seriously the country takes its oil and gas business with Baghdad. Referring to oil on the United Leadership, the letter noted that, “SOMO reserves the right to take legal action against the buyer of such a cargo.” The Kurdish region’s exploitation of newly found oil fields has caused huge controversy, with Baghdad claiming the move is unconstitutional and illegal. By contrast, the KRG argue that the exploitation of oil in the Kurdish provinces is their constitutional right, while several observers have noted that the constitution is too vague on the matter. http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2014/06/07/italy-enters-krg-oil-controversy/
  15. Obama should have never agreed to the swp. He has torn apart all our soldiers have suffered for. We should never negotiate with any terrorist group. It is sad they are kept hostage and in prison and may God have mercy on them.
  16. Categorized | Telecoms/Comms Iraq Authorises 3G LicensesPosted on 05 May 2014. Tags: 3G mobile, Asiacell, Internet penetration, Iraq, Mobile internet, Zain By John Lee. The Iraqi government has announced that it will shortly offer licenses to mobile operators to give customers 3G internet service, AFP reports. The colossal increase in mobile phone ownership in Iraq post 2003 has been one of the notable developments in the country, a nation which still has a highly limited fixed-line network. Mobile internet use is therefore proliferating rapidly. Asiacell chief executive Amer Sunna welcomed the news, while noting that some frustrations had been expressed by mobile operators in the long wait to move beyond 2G technology. “We are really eager to know the terms and conditions. Because until now, it’s just an announcement. It’s been a while. I think frustration is there. Today, you see the penetration rate hitting 90 percent, and we’re still on 2G.” Iraq Business News has previously noted the huge potential of this market. According to BuddeComm, the country has 3.4 million internet users, roughly 10 percent of the population. This will no doubt rise quickly when these licenses are issued. (Source: AFP) I love seeing articles like this. Lets me know Iraq is on the move with improving technology. I don't see it being long to get what we have been waiting on. http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2014/05/05/iraq-authorises-3g-liscences/
  17. Personally I don't put to much credit into much of the news put out, but I do value everyones opinion because one never knows. I expressed mine and it waqs based on how I interpreted it. I think that they will never put out an article stating how much Dinar, digital or physical, they have at this point in the game. This article could be true. It could also be either good or bad. We know from being here reading article after article that just when you think you have them figured out, OOOPS that isn't what they meant or the article was fake. We still don't know if Talabini is alive or dead. I have a freind who is an Iraqi and he is still telling me that he is dead, so who knows. I will tell you I DO NOT KNOW, lol. I am as confused as the rest, just hopeful and I express my opinion once in a while.
  18. You have to read it again. It says : He pointed out that among those 40 Trallona deposits (34 billion dollars) back to the public sector banks exist in the national and 30 Trallona (26 billion dollars) as seed money deposited in private banks, government and private. Read more: http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/176827-deposit-growing-movement-in-the-financial-iraqi-banks/#ixzz301pROhRH 40 trillion in deposits is right, but you have to deduct how much was recirculated back for payrolls and government funding. Then re-deposited and recirculated. The way I took it is this is a total of all deposits in general. 30 trillion in government banks I don't count because if the government owns it, it can't hurt the government when it RV's. Tells me the same as 30 trillion out of circulation and in the governments posession, thus taking it off the streets. Think positive, stay positive, let positve things happen. Just my opinion of course.
  19. Syrian refugees cling to stability in Iraq Finding relative stability in northern Iraq, many Syrian refugees are in no hurry to return to their war-torn country. Ali Al-Arian Last updated: 24 Apr 2014 11:51 Domiz refugee camp, Iraq - While the United Nations is warning that Lebanon could buckle under the pressure of hosting more than a million Syrian refugees, the situation in northern Iraq is a different story. Here, refugees forced from their homes by the war in Syria are slowly rebuilding their lives. Of the 250,000 Syrian refugees in Iraqi Kurdistan, nearly 120,000 live in cities like Dohuk and Erbil, while the remainder live in 10 camps spread throughout the region. More than 45,000 Syrian refugees live in Domiz camp, close to the city of Dohuk on the Syrian-Iraqi border. It is one of the first camps built after the initial influx of Syrians into Iraq in 2012. Hundreds of tents line the streets, some of which were converted into more permanent housing structures as prospects for a political resolution in Syria grew bleak. "It is an organised and normal life here," Amina Darwish, a mother of four who has lived in Domiz for the past year and a half, told Al Jazeera. "When I came and saw the stability and the life here, I told my parents and sisters to come with their families." RELATED: Syrian refugees flood into Iraqi Kurdistan Unlike camps set up in Turkey and Lebanon, where many refugees struggle to eat, stay warm during the harsh winter months and educate their children, Syrians in Iraqi Kurdistan say they have found relative stability. "We have not seen a reception before like we have witnessed here [from the Kurdistan Regional Government, KRG]," said Umm Mohammad, who lives in the Kawergosk camp. We are helping my neighbour build his house for free. We help each other because we know how difficult our situation is. - Sharif Hasan, refugee Like Domiz, Kawergosk is another city of tents. A year and a half newer, the camp, situated near the Kurdish capital of Erbil, was set up in August 2013. Cobblestone streets within the camp line a path to outhouses, drinking fountains and small schools set up by UN agencies, as well as stations where various NGOs dispense supplies such as blankets and food. The KRG has given many of the refugees living in the camps permits that allow them to travel and work within the northern province. "We asked the government to work and they allowed us," said Sharif Hasan, who lives in Domiz camp but works in a ceramics shop in Dohuk during the day. Many refugees have also started their own businesses within the camps, from barber shops to shoe stores and restaurants. This creates a circular economy, UNHCR spokesperson Liene Veide told Al Jazeera: Those who work outside the camp spend their cash on the local businesses inside. "This allows the refugees possible ways to regain self-reliance and sustainability, to earn money and bring it back to their families," Veide said. At night, many refugees work to build homes or shops, Hasan told Al Jazeera, as he shovelled cement in what little daylight remained. He and his friends were helping a neighbour build a home where a tent once stood. "We are helping my neighbour build his house for free," he said. "We help each other because we know how difficult our situation is." The vast majority of the Syrian refugees living in Iraq are Kurds, and many of them are from the northeastern Syrian province of Qamishli. "Every short while, you would see explosions, bombs striking nearby areas and hear gunfire, rockets shooting and planes flying overhead," said Darwish, explaining what prompted her to leave the war-torn country. "We could not sleep or rest; our emotional state suffered and it was especially difficult for the children." Darwish’s fears crystallised when, after she and many of her relatives had arrived in Iraq, her brother was killed in a market by a car bomb, allegedly detonated by fighters from al-Nusra Front. Due to weak phone connections in Qamishli, Darwish only found out a day later, while watching the news. Umm Mohammad, meanwhile, told Al Jazeera that she finally made the decision to leave Syria after reports spread in her town that rebel fighters were kidnapping and raping young women, and holding young men hostage for ransom. "Many young women were taken from our town and surrounding towns, and I could not risk it with my three daughters," she said. Darwish and others recalled the trauma of witnessing explosions within a kilometre of their homes, but said their greatest challenge was obtaining sufficient food, water, electricity and gas to keep them warm. I would call my brother and wouldn’t be able to have a conversation with him, but we could at least hear each other’s voices so that we know we’re all alive. - Abu Mohammad, refugee "Some people stayed in Syria, like my sister, but there are no phones to talk to them," Umm Mohammad told Al Jazeera. Her husband said it was sometimes possible to reach relatives through the Turkish networks, since Qamishli is close to Turkey. "But the connections are very weak," he added. "I would call my brother and wouldn’t be able to have a conversation with him, but we could at least hear each other’s voices so that we know we’re all alive." IN VIDEO: Syrian Kurdish refugees pour into Iraq Many refugees said they faced a gruelling journey to Kurdistan, and they understood why others chose to remain in Syria. "It was very difficult to come here," Darwish explained. "We all walked for hours and hours, over 200 of us together, walked with our children across the border. We did not eat during the journey." For many Kurdish refugees, living under Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during the war was the last straw of a life rife with discrimination and hardship due to their ethnicity. Umm Mohammad and her husband recounted how they and others in their community were not allowed to speak the Kurdish language in public or in schools, noting many in the community were not granted Syrian citizenship and were considered to be "foreigners" by the government. "It was not until after the war started that Bashar [al-Assad] began granting many of those in my community citizenship," she said. "It was to draft them into the army," her husband added. Ahmad Hussein, 30, a mosque leader in Domiz refugee camp and a graduate of Damascus University, fled after being called upon to serve in the army. "The situation before the war was difficult for Kurds. Land was seized from us by the government and jobs were difficult to secure," he said. "We were not even allowed to give our children Kurdish names or we would be interrogated by the government." Given the relatively stable situation Syrians have found in Iraqi Kurdistan, it comes as little surprise that many of the refugees do not wish to return to their homes "so long as the Syrian regime’s army and groups like al-Nusra remain," Umm Mohammad explained. "No one knows right now who causes the explosions when you see them from a distance, if they belong to the Free Syrian Army or the regime," said Aywar Khalil, 30, a refugee from Damascus currently residing in Domiz camp. "Everyone [living in these camps] is a martyr in addition to those who have already died. "Those who died were laid to rest, but we do not rest - even here away from the war," Khalil explained. "You live with fear for yourself, your children, your country; thinking about the future and if you will go back home or not. If you do go back, will things return to the way it was or not?"
