Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... RON ** Sandy Ingram Article: "Venezuela's risky currency stabilization to tackle inflation" Venezuela's currency is up in value. Can the IQD follow? ...the new Bolivar has against all odds managed to stabilize the economy...We know Iraq has over printed its currency...We know that if Iraq decides to do what Venezuela has done and issues a new currency many of us will or might be in trouble with our investment unless we are willing or even allowed to travel to the Middle East to exchange our old Iraqi dinars for the new Iraqi currency...[Post 1 of 2]. ** Sandy Ingram Even then the fact that Iraq has overprinted the money may spell trouble for the old currency to the new currency exchange. It would depend on how many people, companies and countries show up for the exchange or even if we are allowed to make the exchange. This is all based on what if Iraq does what Venezuela has done. Iraq would have control over the new currency and it would be in control of their own creation...[Post 2 of 2]. ** Mark Some folks...are very worried about news out of Iraq. The election to choose the new president has been moved to April 3rd to the 6th now… But, I would like to again point out that they let us know on Monday that they can still move forward with committees, and Saturday they sat the finance committee. ...Since the finance committee was seated…the banking side and CBI are squared away and they do not need the rest of the Government to RV. If they do not seat a new government by the 6th, …the existing government just takes over again. ** butterfly Only 152 lawmakers showed up for the latest vote...For the third time, Iraqi parliament fails to elect a new president.

Iranian Defector: US Working 'On Behalf' of IranSunday, 29 Mar 2015 04:01 PM By Greg Richter An Iranian journalist and top media aide to Iran's President Hassan Rouhani defected while covering the nuclear talks in Switzerland and has accused the United States' team of acting on Iran's behalf in the negotiations. Amir Hossein Motaghi defected late last week, saying he no longer saw any point in his profession in a country whose government told him what to write, the U.K.'s Telegraph reported. Motaghi told the London-based Irane Farda, an Iranian opposition television station, that the American team is working to convince the other members of the U.N. Security Council nations and Germany – the P5+1 powers. "The U.S. negotiating team are mainly there to speak on Iran’s behalf with other members of the P5+1 countries and convince them of a deal," he said. He told the station that a number of people attending the talks on Iran's side are reported to be journalists, but that "their main job is to make sure that all the news fed back to Iran goes through their channels." "My conscience would not allow me to carry out my profession in this manner anymore," he said. Motaghi had held a major press position for Rouhani. During his campaign, Motaghi headed up Rouhani’s successful social media efforts to bring his message to young voters through Twitter. The Iran Student Correspondents Association (ISCA) confirmed that Motaghi had been in Lausanne to cover the talks, but had quit. Motaghi's critics clamed he had gone to Lausanne only for the purpose of defecting. He is said to be a friend of jailed Iranian-American journalist Jason Rezaian and had been lobbying internally for his release. The Telegraph said one news website reported that he had been tipped off that he would have been arrested if he had returned to Iran.
