[Correction on OPEC date... :)]

 

Reckon it may be time to get out the list of stuff to do and have ready for an RV especially if you plan to travel to exchange.

 

IE - letters from bankers, utility receipts - etc

[Mnt Goat Saturday News Brief]

After sitting through far too many military briefings - I realize the "briefing" concept is a recapture and covering of thoughts relating to a topic. Depending on the info covered - there are short and long briefs. Time is relative.

Personally - I find MG's coverage of topics to be interesting and well thought out - I look forward to them

[Iraq receives four billion dinars as a loan from the World Bank next month]

 

It would seem to me that if the loans came in the form of dollars, yuan or an EU currency - with the dinar so devalued, Iraq would be able to purchase and hire more as opposed to a higher valued dinar.

Basically. it would make sense for them to leave the dinar at it's current value for in-country infrastructure projects - get more bang for the buck.

I do hope I am wrong, because if this is their train of thought then it might be a long time until an RV occurs.

 

Thoughts??

[Parliamentary Finance: 800 billion dollars smuggled out of Iraq]

Problem is - with all that cash out of the country - shall we expect the Iraqi govt to just say - we are going to issue a different currency in order not to have such large losses.

Now if that happens - where does that leave all of us - with the currency we bought in good faith?

 

 

[Bruce Believes the 22nd is Our Date.]

No idea who Bruce is  - but he is consistent - wrong all the time.

He needs to find a hobby or something - and stop with speculating with dates.

 

[Bruce Believes 1st Of July Could Be Very Interesting.]

I do wish people would stop saying/ writing - "any minute" or "based on my intel source"- the universe wide rv will happen by  X  date. It's a waste of time reading them - only to see such proclamations that never come close to being accurate.

If this ever revalues - it will be a spur of the moment kind of thing as others have said.

At this point - I skip by articles by most of these people since they apparently write just to be noticed - which is very sad.   

From what I can tell - we are neither closer nor farther away from an rv than we were months ago. I just wish some country would say enough and rv independently. What are they waiting for if this is their intent to rv at all. Waiting just cuts them money and misery for their citizens. There is no need or requirement for everyone to go at the same time - so one of them needs to jump out there and be independent thinkers. The longer this drags on - the less likely any country will rv - leaving us with some colorful bird cage lining.

 

[Effects of corrosive corruption in Iraq]

Makes one wonder if the Iraqi's are even capable of self government. Sort of applies to many Middle eastern govts.

We are watching  an exercise in graft and out and out thievery.

Believe it is time for the citizens to storm the GZ and route the whole bunch.

It would be nice to see the RV sometime in the next 5 years.

[Abadi's office source: Council of Ministers did not meet due to a public holiday]

Having spent time over there - I can say, they do like days off.   Seeing how they operate at breakneck sped the rest of the time - heck, it's deserved.

They do have a martyr for every day of the year - but don't give them any ideas. Probably jump at the chance to become democrats

[Solid info on Adams site]

 

This is a great place to get some thoughtful comments/ discussion re what is happening and what is likely to happen.

The only other person I find interesting is Mt Goat. Saying that - I haven't heard or seen any of her posts lately. Anyone know what's up

 

Thanks

[Iraqi government gives Ramadi citizens 72 hours to evacuate Published December 20th, 2015]

I'd fly over  - predawn - and spray the city with sleeping gas. Hopefully none of the elderly or very young would be adversely affected. Would make clean up pretty easy with lower loss of lives. With everyone snoozing - will make looking for booby-traps a tad less distracting.

 

Once complete - turn over all rounded-up daesh to the Iraq Army for disposition - which probably would entail a short hike out into the local desert to some previously dug pits..

[Afghan currency]

OK - thanks. Had planned to just stick with Dinar and Dong - almost glad there isn't another that needs to be considered

[Afghan currency]

I have been hearing that the Afghani is now a currency of interest. Anyone know if it is as good as the Dinar or Dong?

[TNT Tony & DC Now Under Gag Orders.]

I agree with you Indy.  I like listening to Tony and DC. They have never said it will occur on a certain date. Their calls fill in a lot of what is going on in the world - which is interesting.

 

I don't open this site daily but when I do - I'd like to see something intelligently presented. It's apparent that many folks here have little to occupy themselves with. Rather than drag complaints on and on and on - post something that warrants reading.

[A Source In The Office Abadi: The Next Government Will Be Presented To Parliament In The Coming Hours !]

Coming hours is more optimistic than coming days - - but remember this is all on Iraq time - which is subjective at best.

 

I believe it refers to their intention as opposed to an actual clock

[Hamoudi, calls for Cabinet to vote on the budget bill in its session today]

at the beach

[40 American ISIS Fighters returned to the United States]

Unfortunately in our politically correct society - not much will be done. Certainly not with the current mob in DC. Even if (when) we experience another attack on US soil - they will try to turn it to their benefit and will undoubtedly receive enough support from the uninformed citizenry to wander of on yet another poorly planned and thought-out path.

 

Why the concept of politically correct even exists is a mystery to me. Just another "do gooder" philosophy that simply does not work in the real world when dealing with humans.

[Abadi sack 132 officers, including three senior officers of the rank of lieutenant and 24 brigade!]

I know we all would like to do the same thing here in America - but start with politicians rather than military.

 

Everything that is happening - is a result of their actions. Don't buy it when they say things just got out of hand and they are there to help. They are mostly incompetent and we really can't afford much more of their help - it's killing us

 

We may have time left to save the Republic. Just need to get up off our collective apathetic posteriors and do some serious house cleaning.

[RV 2 B Announced Late Tuesday Afternoon]

The above is true............................ Dinner will in fact occur tomorrow

[VP Biden Meets Top US Financial Planners in Aspen, Co.]

If biden was actually there and allowed in the building, the wealth managers were undoubtedly through with the thinking portion of the meeting and probably just discussing Ringling Brothers next visit to CO and wanted a taste of what to expect.

 

For some reason wealth management and biden don't pair up too well - considering he has bragged that he is the poorest member of this administration.

 

Reckon he may be looking to change that - considering his boss has been a major holdup to the RV
