  1. this was sent to me by a newsletter reader - interesting read!

    Announcement from After The Gold Rush

    >

    > Situation:

    >

    > Ok...so here we are.

    >

    > There is a large amount of intel and supporting news that has been

    >

    > gathered and shared on the chats, postings and e-mails from various forums.

    >

    > All of this points to a revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar and other currencies to happen soon.

    >

    > This is an event that has been in the works for many decades and is being coordinated on a global level as we all

    >

    > know and the supporting data of same is easy to find on most forums or by the simple use of a standard Internet search engine.

    >

    > I will use this brief e-mail to summarize and clarify the current situation as it relates to currently available intel,

    >

    > info and data as cross referenced with intel we had received in the spring of this year as a base reference.

    >

    > I will be doing this because it has become evident to those who were made aware of this information earlier this year by a former contact who had shared information with us that we now seem to be seeing this information being replicated and verified by other research teams working independently.

    >

    > Recap from spring of this year:

    > 1. We were told there will be two rates.

    > One rate is to be a higher rate that will not be seen by the public and will only be used as a government to government rate.

    >

    > This higher government rate had been set up by the IMF and World Bank as a means of settlement of outstanding international issues between Iraq and the debtor nations.

    >

    > This was being done as part of the International Compact with Iraq. The I.C.I.

    > This higher government "book" rate was to never be seen by the public and will never be used outside of its

    > specific parameters of use as per designated by the IMF, the World Bank and the International Compact with Iraq.

    >

    > The higher non-public government rate we were told at that time was planned to be $3.86

    > The second rate we were told is the lower "public" rate.

    > This rate we were told would be higher than a Dollar, lower than the Pound and at or near the Euro.

    >

    > The current rate of the Euro is $1.47

    > 2. We were told there would be a limited time to exchange the Iraqi Dinar.

    >

    > We were told that this time which will be made known some time after the rate change would be no longer than 45 days.

    >

    > Now....here is where I would like to give some clarity to some of the current information we have been hearing.

    >

    > There was word that the U.S. Treasury would be taking something "off of the top" of the Iraqi Dinar exchange.

    >

    > Well that is some what true...but how that will happen is (as we were told in the spring) by the existence of the two

    > separate rates....the higher government rate and the lower public rate.

    > So YES the US Treasury will get more.....but not in the way most have feared.

    >

    > They (the US Treasury) will receive more by the use of the higher government rate....not by taking anything from you,

    > but by ADDING to the book value of the Iraqi Dinar as prearranged by the ICI, IMF and WTO.

    >

    > So nothing will be taken from you!

    >

    > BUT value will be ADDED to the Iraqi Dinar when the U.S. Treasury and the governments of the world

    > take possession of the IQD from the banks.

    >

    > So nothing is taken off of the top. BUT The value of the Dinar is MORE when used by authorized governments.

    >

    > Now as an example this is how this will work and how everyone including Iraq will benefit from this.

    >

    > I will use the rate of $1.00 (one dollar) as an example to explain this....remember that rate is only an example.

    >

    > Example:

    >

    > 1. Lets say the Iraqi Dinar revalues at a rate of $1.

    >

    > 2. Everyone goes to the bank and exchanges their dinar and opens accounts and the banks are flush with

    > thousands of brand new multi-millionaires.

    >

    > 3. The bank then turns over all of the exchanged Iraqi Dinar to the U.S. Treasury who gives the banks a higher commercial rate.

    > As an example I will say the U.S. Treasury gives the banks $1.50 for every IQD so the banks now have

    > just made .50 pure profit from every single dinar exchanged with the U.S. Treasury.

    >

    > 4. As soon as the U.S. Treasury has possession of the Iraqi Dinar it is instantly listed on the books at

    > the higher "government rate" of $3.86 so the U.S. Government and all the governments of the world will

    > make more than 100% pure profit instantly!

    >

    > Also all of the existing Iraqi Dinar that is held by the governments at the time of the revaluation will make the bottom lines of all the nations soar!

    >

    > So just as your financial bottom line will change from the RV so will the US Government's as well as other governments world wide!

    > So YOU make money...the BANKS make money....AND the US Government makes money!

    >

    > Now...as most know...it has been arranged by the IMF and the ICI that the Iraqi Dinar held by the nations

    > only be returned to to Iraqi in a very controlled manner.

    >

    > Now this had been set up before hand by the ICI and IMF but as many may know this just became an serious issue

    > when China threatened to do otherwise and that would have been a very destabilizing act upon Iraq's economy.

    >

    > So deals have been struck to prevent this from happening and the assurances from the nations who hold

    > Iraqi Dinar had to be solidified to insure that the return of the Iraqi Dinar to Iraq by the nations who hold IQD would

    > be done so in a very metered and controlled fashion.

    >

    > This info about the "China situation" as most know has been provided by the team at DV and if you want those

    > details contact a DV or DS member for the details.

    >

    > So how does Iraq benefit from all of this you ask?

    > Well besides the obvious positive points that the revaluation will bring to the Iraqi people and government there

    > are also hidden aspects to this "two tier rate" that help Iraq.

    >

    > First I would like to point out that Iraq is a nation...a nation who has as its primary products and exports oil and natural gas.

    >

    > Iraq is NOT in the currency exchange business.

    >

    > When the Iraqi Dinars that are held by the U.S. Treasury and other governments return to Iraq they will be used

    > to buy oil and natural gas.....so there is no exchange of currency.

    >

    > AND the benefit to the US and the other nations is that this high government to government rate will in essence enable

    > the US Government to buy Iraqi oil at a great pre set discount!

    >

    > That is because the Iraqi Dinar that will be used by our government to purchase oil and gas from Iraq will have been secured

    > from the banks for less than half the value!

    >

    > ALSO! What this has done for Iraq by doing this is in this manner is Iraq now has GUARANTEED customers for all of it Oil and Gas!

    >

    > So all of the governments who will soon be holding all of these Iraqi Dinars have a very real incentive to hold on to

    > all of the IQD they can get...for in doing so they are assured of the discounted purchase of oil and natural gas in the future.

    >

    > So EVERYONE benefits!

    >

    > YOU become rich!

    >

    > The Banks become flush with brand new millionaires!

    >

    > The US economy soars!

    >

    > The banks make BILLIONS from the exchange to the US Treasury.

    >

    > The US Treasury makes TRILLIONS of dollars instantly!

    >

    > The US Government is guaranteed decades of discounted oil and natural gas products by the use of the Iraqi dinar to purchase oil from Iraq.

    >

    > The nation of Iraq is guaranteed customers for their oil for decades!

    >

    > This is a classic win win situation.

    >

    > And that is how this works to the benefit of all...you...the banks...the US Government and the nation of Iraq.

  2. ok sorry i posted my opinion and now i am getting the 5th degree for it.

    Where are you getting the 5th degree? I didn't see it happen here...

    1, 2, 3 and 4 in your response - you are entitled to your opinion, and you are obviously a skeptic. I don't fault you for that, you are free to decide how you like. That's why we have an open forum.

    Regarding the IP address, you missed the most important part of my post. I used to have several dedicated servers (costing over $1000 per month) at the same company that hosts the CBI website and email servers. YES, the email routed through Texas - but I had some friends dig further and verify that the email originated from Iraq and then went through the mail servers at the host.

    Now, nobody ripped on you - but I do believe I have corrected your misinformation about how the email was verified.

    You are still entitled to your opinion, whether you decide to change it or not based on the facts that I have provided is up to you. Thank you for keeping your posts respectful.

    -Adam

  3. Hey everyone.

    I put the video up to show the people that were in chat. Over 300 people saw the video that confirmed I have a legitimate contact at the CBI.

    For those of you that understand a little about how IPs work, I do know that it is possible to spoof IP addresses. It took me a little longer to release this information because I wanted to be 100% sure my contact was legit. In order to do that, I tracked down the CBI website's host and had them reverse verify that the email actually did come from that server - not another server. This was done, and I am 100% confident when I say my contact is who he says he is.

    The video was pulled off of youtube in order to protect my contact from any kind of backlash. Over 300 people saw the proof... well, if you don't believe 300 eye witnesses, I don't think anything will convince you!

    I do have more information coming, but as always I AM NOT A PUMPER OR A DEALER. I verify and double verify ANYTHING before I release it. It's not my intention to give false hopes, I am only here to share information that I am able to get so that YOU can make your own decisions.

    Thank you.

  10. I was out of town this weekend and didn't get to return any PMs - I apologize for that, and hope everyone is finding their way around ok.

    From what I've read, there is a common theme among many new members... that theme is that you don't want to be banned for speaking your mind, and you want some INFORMATION and TRUTH!

    Well, here's a real easy and real quick mission statement:

    As long as I have something to do with the management of this forum, free speech will be the norm - not bans. INFORMATION is necessary to all of us in order to make wise decisions... I do not want to see this place become filled with nazi mentality mods, nor will it be a place where pumpers have the floor and questioners are beheaded.

    Please, invite your friends to come chat and post on our forum. We welcome all, because you never know who might know someone... that might have the key to our futures.

    Best wishes, prosperity, and happiness to you all.

    -Adam

  11. lol! Nobody is going to ban you for that around here - that's the kind of thing that happens on other sites that are pushing an agenda. In Medic's case, he's threatened by anyone who disagrees with any of his "intel".

    For the record, I didn't hack anything. Someone PMd him on chat and was disagreeing with him, so he assumed it was me. He then went on to say he had contacted the FBI (blah blah blah) and other "authorities"... I have yet to receive a phone call from anyone regarding anything, which means one of two things.

    1. He lied and didn't contact the authorities.

    2. The authorities placated him and said "yeah yeah yeah medic, we are real worried *yawn*"... and they don't give a damn about his childish antics.

    Either way, he's full of bull and only as trustworthy as any other keyboard warrior.

    I will continue to share information as I find it. I will always back my claims up with links, and if I don't have actual proof I will say that it is only a rumor. Medic makes up stories and claims to have intel, but he never produces results.

    Oh, and I never called anything a "scam" - except maybe the "intel" on people exchanging dinar in tents. That "intel" is nothing but a scam, since it's been proven false over and over.

    I'm here to stay. Cheers!
