It's going to be a traffic nightmare again here

I wasn't worried I was just adding my two dinar worth. When I first started getting the warning I thought to myself "oh Maliki what are you up to now"

Same here. It's random. A few days ago I was getting the same thing. I got the warning flag this morning as well. This is in both firefox and google chrome.

Where have I ever heard that before? Oh yeah the real estate industry before 2008. Remember 2008? I haven't seen those late night real estate infomericals since then (they were the pumpers of the real estate industry) Mere speculation on how this is going to play out. Oh those scammers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4pF3dN533U When will they ever stop

Yet it's okay for people to still invest in Wall Street despite massive amounts of people loosing massive amounts during numerous and ongoing crashes that occur and will occur. And those same people keep coming back for more. Maybe you should start going on investment boards and tell them how much of a scam investing in wall street is. Heck you might even save a few of them from making the same mistake over and over. Or how about the amount of money one spends/looses over a lifetime playing the government run lottery. One has a better chance of getting stuck by lightning 3 times in ones life. It's all the same premise. To hopefully one day strike it rich and both the private sector and government feed off of that. What makes this any different?

Well like I stated I've been in this since the beginning of the new dinars. I wasn't sold a bill of goods from dinar sellers/pumpers. I got mine directly from the source. I neither pump nor do I buy and trade them. Here I've sat with them just patiently waiting for something to happen. Even if I make a dollar in the end that's a dollar more in my pocket that I didn't have before That's the way I look at it. "May fortune favor the foolish"

It's Iraq I couldn't even hazard a prediction. For all we know we may still be waiting 1000 years for anything to happen with the currency.

This is the government that dropped the ball for the wall street crash of 2008 isn't it? This is the government that has put everyone's asses in debt for 3 generations isn't it? Yeah sure I'll trust their word more than a pumper... I dunno what they mean by scam perhaps the dinar sellers/pumpers who keep saying it's going to RV today or tomorrow or next week for the past few years then yeah that part of it is a scam. The actually investing part is not. I have already almost doubled my initial investment money (going by the current exchange rate and note values) since I got into this very early. Long before the dinar sellers and pumpers existed. So explain to me how they (BBB and Government) or you can state that the investment or my investment into this is a scam?

Quite frankly I don't see how a lop on physical notes is at all legal. I accepted those high denomination in good faith with the verified understanding that say a 25,000 dinar note was equivalent to 25 thousand 1 dinar notes. Nowhere was it mentioned or understood that the 25k notes were or would be equivalent to 25k Iraq pennies. I bought these dinar based on the exchange rate between 1 iraq dinar and 1 U.S. dollar. If they were to phase out the high denomination notes and replace them with the lower ones with a 1 to 1 exchange, that would be a different story altogether and quite legal.

I was just telling an acquaintance last week that no matter what is going on over in Iraq, there has been no fluctuation of the currency whatsoever which shows how highly undervalued it is.

Yes there could be a danger in that. However, once the quality of life starts improving for the average Iraqi with Maliki gone, I think it would be safe to assume they will know without a doubt who was the truly bad guy and who kept them down.

That's because the money flow is not being diverted into Maliki's bank accounts anymore

I knew it! I just knew it!

The deal was I'm sure is that Maliki gets to keep his embezzled money and safe haven for him and his cohorts Anyway the bottom line is that this sociopath is gone finally. Hurrrah!

Looks like Maliki is standing on a box to make himself look taller and more imposing while al-abadi is saying "what the hell is your problem"

Finally the coalition government that was envisioned long ago where all parties get their proper cut and say

There's been a few past articles about this. The old currency will remain in circulation with the new for a year or two don't remember there being an exact deadline on this. The old notes will gradually be taken out of circulation with the beaten up bills taken first.

This is a job for Yoda then (not to be confused with yota)

Maliki is the direct cause of everything happening and now he's furious about what he has created. My suspicions are now confirmed that he is indeed a sociopath.

The sectarian war from 2006-2008 yeah sounds like you had a very stable Iraq when you left power.

How about, well you know, run Iraq for the Iraqi's!

The only day I will feel giddy is when I actually see the RV printed in black and white

This is the same thing that happened the last time Sunni's in 2006 went all Insurgent. All everybody really has to do is not get too excited about the Sunni's and just mount a good defense and in time the Sunni's will turn on each other and start fighting and you just have to mop them up afterwards. Works every time.

Iraqi Kurds dig frontier around disputed areas By DIAA HADID 3 hours ago MARIAM BEK, Iraq (AP) — As Islamic extremists seek to sweep away borders in their advance across the Middle East, Kurds in northern Iraq appear to be in the process of digging a new one, asserting their claim to hotly disputed territory and expanding their semi-autonomous region in a bid for greater autonomy or outright independence. The emerging frontier of sand berms, trenches and roadblocks is being built to take in areas Kurdish fighters seized as Sunni militants led by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant swept across northern Iraq last month, routing the armed forces of the Shiite-led government in Baghdad and raising fears the country could be torn in three. Kurdish forces say they assumed control of the disputed territory in and around Kirkuk -- a major oil hub -- to prevent it from being taken over by the Sunni insurgents as Iraqi troops melted away. They say the defense of the 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) frontier is necessary to prevent the militants, who have declared a transnational Islamic state straddling the Syrian-Iraqi border, from advancing further. "This is a security measure. We are dealing with a serious threat," said Falah Bakir, the Kurdish region's top foreign policy official. "We are neighbors to a terrorist state — the Islamic State — and we have to take measures to ensure our safety." But the barriers, hastily built over the past few days, are also defining the borders of a possible future Kurdish state, and laying the groundwork for a conflict with Baghdad over Kirkuk, which has a mixed population of Kurds, Arabs and Turkmen. Politicians close to Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki have condemned the Kurds' assertion of control over the disputed areas outside their semi-autonomous region, accusing them of exploiting the security breakdown to pursue their long-held dream of greater autonomy or outright statehood. The United States and Iraq's regional neighbors Turkey and Iran -- both of which have large Kurdish minorities -- are opposed to Kurdish independence. The Kurds say they have tried for years to reach an agreement with Baghdad on where to draw the frontier of their semi-autonomous region, but say the Shiite-led government and Sunni leaders dragged their feet. They point to a constitutional amendment requiring that Kirkuk's fate be decided by referendum, but which has never been implemented. "If the Shiite forces and the Sunni forces don't abide by this pact between the sides, to draw the borders of Iraq, to draw the borders of the province of Kurdistan, so it is the right of the Kurdish province to take the areas that were taken away from it," said the Kurdish deputy head of the Kirkuk Provincial Council, Rebwar Talabani. https://news.yahoo.com/iraqi-kurds-dig-frontier-around-disputed-areas-134140800.html
