  1. NO. It means that 2 IQD equals 1 USD (or as they put it: 1 IQD equals 0.50 USD). Not the other way around like you posted. 2 x 0.50 = 1.0. Since you multiplied one side of the equation by 2 you have to do the same on the other side of the equation. 2 x 1 = 2. So if you had 1 million IQD and the exchange rate is 2 IQD to 1 USD you would walk away, after exchanging, with $500,000 USD minus any exchange fees.
  2. The Korean War started in 1950. The United States and North Korea has never formally signed a peace treaty, although an Armistice Agreement was signed by Eisenhower. It was the Armistice Agreement that created the infamous DMZ between the North and South Korea. Most claim that because Eisenhower signed the Armistice Agreement that ended the war in 1954. The Korean War is one of the United States least talked about wars due to the fact that the United States was very unprepared for that war so soon after WWII. The debate lingers on to whether the war officially ended or is nothing more than a long term cease fire. In some circles you will hear that Afghanistan is America's longest war but with only an Armistice Agreement and not a treaty signed it can be argued that the Korean War is America's longest running war, lasting 71 years and counting. So your answer is no.
  3. My Grandmother had this type of cellphone. It was very dangerous. It could cause severe head injury and even death during a thunder and lightning storm. As my grandmother found out one day during a very heavy thunderstorm when a ball of fire shot out of the mouth piece on that cell phone and flew across the room. So even the earliest of cell phones were known to be harmful when held close to the head.

  5. And using this same logic October (10th month) 13, 1307 is the number 7. Why is that date so important? Seven is deep, introspective, intuitive, private, reclusive, secret, separate, distant, and indifferent to the outer world of phenomena but not to the inner worlds of secrecy, intrigue, hidden mysteries. Seven is highly analytical, inquisitive, perfection-seeking, often critical. It asks why and travels within to find out. Those who desire to know the inner secrets of life, the cosmos and the universe have seven highly active in their vibration matrix. Funny how the word "secret" shows up in the definition of the number 7. Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 making him a 1. Yep still no 3, 6, or 9 but this is not true for the Fibonacci Sequence which contains the number 3 and is naturally occurring within nature. The Fibonacci sequence goes 0, 1, 1, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and so forth. So this theory doesn't hold up when it comes to naturally occurring patterns in nature. The most famous example of is a snail shell. Telsa was a good inventor that was undercapitalized. However, the snail shell is naturally occurring while the pyramids are not.
  6. Or the true significance of triskaidekaphobia (This word comes from the board game Trivial Pursuit).
  7. Clarification: However, the 0.30 figure depends on how Iraq does their conversion. If they do it like I show it, it will be the 0.30. After checking the CBI website they go to three decimal places. So potentially it could be 0.333 after removing the zeroes. This also depends how many decimal places the currency is traded on the FOREX. So yes it could be 0.30 or it could be 0.333, based on how the currency ends up being recorded by the central bank and how it is traded on the international market. Not all countries use the same number of decimal places when trading their currency on FOREX.
  8. If 1 USD = 3,000 IQD then 1 IQD = 0.0003 USD. (1/3000 = 0.0003). If 1 USD = 1,460 IQD then 1 IQD =0.0007 USD (rounded up). That is why removing the three zeroes is an important discussion. Remove the three zeroes and the 1 to 3000 becomes 1 IQD = 0.30 USD (Still less than your 0.33 USD per IQD) and the 1 to 1460 becomes 0.68 USD = 1 IQD.
  9. Is half an hour considered a holiday to these guys? Ah politicians come first, citizens are secondary, good thing politics doesn't change no matter what country you are from!
  10. Oil is the current commodity of the day. Iraq has so much more going for it that is also beneath the ground. The minerals Iraq sits on is worth more than its weight in gold. They just need to start improving the infrastructure to get to it. It won't be long after that that oil will be the secondary source of income for the Iraqis. Right now let them exploit their reserves while it lasts, increase their private sector and their banking sector. The writing is on the wall with oil being consumed as fuel for transportation. Oil no matter how much people want to get rid of it, will never disappear from countries needing it because it is used in too many products besides trains, planes and automobiles. Iraq, as long as they have oil, will always have an additional source of income in the oil industry. Don't let the climate hoaxers fool you into thinking that just because we are using electric cars (worse for the environment than the combustible engine - think about it) that bubbling black gold is going to mysteriously not be used anymore. The way you talk, the world is never going to use oil again. Total hog wash baloney! Oil being used is here to stay as long as humans are here on this Earth and they have a way to extract it from the Earth. Example: Why you should never eat margarine. Margarine is dyed yellow to make it look edible to the consumer. It was developed first as a lubricant for tanks during WWII. Think about it. It is a petroleum based product to further extend the reserves of the oil we had on hand during the war. Just like petroleum jelly is edible too, so is margarine. Now who wants a big ole dollop of margarine on their cornbread?
  11. If Iraq wanted to use spoons for currency, they could. And that is why using the dollar is legal in Iraq. Currency is just a piece of paper that people recognize collectively it is tradeable. Just like Cryptocurrency. It means nothing unless a group of people get together and claim it is worth something. They could use camel nose hairs for currency or they could use the plumage of rare cockatoos as currency. The Native Americans used beads as currency. Something that people say has value to trade for something equal to or lesser to that value. BTW I have 6 million camel nose hairs for trade. /s
  12. I was not telling you how to think. Ot feel for that matter. I have heard, seen and lived this narrative before. When? Shortly after 9-11. Oh America had awakened to the ills of Islam. How the US were "woke". Where are we 20 years later? We have moved about six steps backward as a country. The narrative was fraught with words and semantics and yet people still did nothing. Yeah Osama Bin Laden was shot but that isn't a result of educating the people. You see the left throws things against the wall and what sticks they run with. If it doesn't stick they quickly find out why. The right of this country normally just sits back and allows it or they just cave. So tired of people saying that they are "woke" and yet they are in a snooze fest and do nothing. Here is an example of what is currently going on that most are oblivious too. Most know Biden has said we won't have a Vaccine Passport. Now that has been stated the CDC has stated that those that are not vaccinated they still have to wear a mask. Businesses and schools are also stating the same thing. For example the school that is charging $80 for students that are not vaccinated to attend Prom. A few people, less than 3%, are coming out against this against the Superintendent. Why do I bring this up? Because this is just another way to divide people. Who else did this based on a person's genetics? Yes the Nazi party. Now I am not calling anyone Nazi, I am pointing to history and saying we are repeating history because people seem to understand this. The Nazis were not the first to come up with this idea. So the vaccine passport is on the way, no matter what Biden has promised. It will come through the schools and businesses that push for some way to viably prove you or I have been vaccinated. While people are being distracted with CRT, alternative seeds of division are being planted. Awake? Not even close. This is the same as what followed from 9-11 and the left learned what they needed to. Being called a racist was actually going away because it was way over used. But it then was rocketed into the stratosphere. Call that awake?? Not even close. The mob has run amok and using our laws against us.
  13. They have been working on this long before the 20's. They started well before 1861. This goes back to the founding of this country with the Federalists and Anti-Federalists. The Federalist Papers came from the position against political parties. The Jeffersonian Republicans, anti-federalists, grew into the Demoncrap party of today. The history of the demoncraps stems from the controversial issue of the Federal Bank and US Treasury versus the private banking system and the banking families like the Rothchild's. Four U.S. Presidents have been assassinated because of the Banking system in this country - 3 Republicans (Lincoln (shot April 14, 1865), Garfield (shot July 2, 1881, died September 1881), McKinley (shot September 6, 1901 died September 14, 1901)) and 1 democrat (Kennedy (November 22, 1963)). There have been numerous recessions in the United States with all or most related to the banking industry before the 1929 Great Depression. The The Panic of 1873 and the Long Depression was a direct result of private banks wanting to do away with the Federal Bank system, this also included unions. The Panic of 1857 through 1858, was the recession of the Civil War and a major factor in the Civil War. Socialists have tried to control the monetary system in this country as far back as the 2nd President of the United States. It was always a Republican President (or the party opposite the Anti-Federalists which are the demoncrap party of today) who have tried to bring the monetary system back in line with the United States Constitution. If you follow the banking system you can follow the Socialists, later Communists (aka Marxists) in the United States. Sometimes the Presidents have succeeded in this goal but the majority of the time the Presidents who wanted to revert currency back to what is specified in the Constitution have failed. The Federal Reserve is not a part of the US Government. A good detective will tell anyone to follow the money trail in a corrupt system and you will find the Socialist and Communist hidden there. This statement is wrong and as you previously alluded to with the American Revolution of 3% versus the British, I would fathom less than 1% of True Americans is near having enough. While there is the beginning of a movement to begin to push back, there is still too many stuck on the sidelines. Yeah they might favor Trump, but those people believe it is up to Trump or someone like Trump to do all the work for us as we sit back and type away on forums and in threads such as this. When people begin to mobilize,, go to school board meetings to fight the implementation of CRT, vote out the politicians who only represent themselves and vote to enrich their pocketbooks, to hold those responsible and have them account for their wrongs then and only then will people begin to have had enough. This is happening but it is not as great in numbers as one would think. ``` I have always stated and pondered what would happen after Trump as I was not so much worried about him while he was in office, rather what would happen after he left the POTUS office. I have had my answer. Remember how Trump tried to remove 0Bummer's EOs? Watch what happens during the next Republican President who tries to do the same for the EOs they try to remove. It will be litigated so fast it will make the pea soup scene in the Exorcist look like a fun kid's ride at the local grocery store parking lot carnival. If you want people to make real change and not just 1-term presidential change, then people have to get organized, donate time and money, and exercise their rights under the US Constitution. Too many people are worried, and rightly so, about their work, paying the bills and their families to do all of the things the left is doing. So they take care of their daily lives and have faith that these issues will be taken care of by someone else. True Americans have not had enough, because when they have had enough their priorities will change swiftly and it will shake the heavens and the earth when it happens. Until that time, half of the nation is asleep but slowly the momentum is building.
  14. So what have they learned thus far? The dollar is just as high percentage wise as when the dinar was at a lower rate and just as wanted too. Guess they haven't learned anything. Btw way before the dinar was 1180 and before the 1460 rate it was at 1166. Some have forgotten this as it was at this level for over 5 years. Ironically it cost more to buy dinar at the lower rate, 1180, than it did at the higher rate, 1166, to the dollar. 1 million IQD could be bought for just at 1,000 USD. Where now its like 1250 USD to buy 1 million IQD.
  15. Climbing a building in NYC is illegal. So NYC should charge him with that. As far as Protestor's Comp, he was probably getting paid so it would fall under the auspices of Worker's Comp. However, the drawback is that if he was doing something illegal at the time of injury, such as climbing a skyscraper in Manhattan, then there is hope he can afford the Ambulance ride (around $1200) and the hospital bills out his own pocket. Knowing him, he probably has 0bummercare but can't afford paying the deductible. In the end it will be the taxpayers who pays for this lousy scum's medical bills. One good thing is he won't be attending any riots soon. Bad for him. Good for everyone else.
  16. So you would rather waste our taxpayer dollars in a war with Iran? Not that we are not fighting them, along with China, in a silent war already, Better silent than loss of life on our end.
  17. A true lazy days bank story: In my straw hat and a piece of straw hanging out of the corner of my mouth, I put the hook through the slimy worm as it wiggled in my hand. With my tongue, I moved the pice of straw to the other corner of my mouth as my focus was zoned in onto what I was doing.The sun lay low in the sky as twilight was quickly descending upon me. The smell of the pine filled the air as a westerly wind blew ever so gently across the lake. I slowly leaned the fishing rod backwards then with a quick thrust followed by a sudden stop, I cast the line into the water. The red and white bobber kerplopped on top of the water and settled as my baited hook settled to the bottom. Satisfied with the cast, I laid down and brought my hat over my face as I settled into a bedding of pine needles on the bank of the lake and waited patiently for that tell-tale sign I had hooked a fish. None to soon did the day end and my eyes closed as the sounds of nature lulled me to a blissful sleep.

Michael Keaton on the set of 'Batman.' (Sunset Boulevard/Corbis via Getty Images) "To be honest with you, you know what worries me more than anything about all this stuff? It’s COVID," Keaton said at the time. "I’m more concerned. I keep my eye more on the COVID situation in the U.K. than anything. That will determine everything, and so that’s why I’m living outside the city here on 17 acres, staying away from everybody, because the COVID thing has got me really concerned. So, that’s my first thing about all projects. I look at it and go, is this thing going to kill me, literally? And you know, if it doesn’t, then we talk."
