Good morning DinarVets!

 

Current situation breakdown follows:

 

On ISIS:

 

ISIS not defeated, but not making much headway in Iraq.

 

(WARNING: I'm about to rant on ISIS. Doom and Gloom
ahead!)

 

Weeks ago people were screaming and hollering about
ISIS being 20 miles from Baghdad... Baghdad still hasn't
fallen, so draw your own conclusions there.

 

(Related: Baghdad is safe and terrorists retreating.... remember
what I had to say about the media in my last weekly update?)
 

 

ISIS appears to be concentrating on Syrian town of Kobane,
which is strategically located along a good chunk of the
Turkey/Syria border. Turkey is foolishly watching from the
sidelines, much like the US and every other power in the
world. ISIS should not be allowed to take Kobane any more
than they should be allowed to take Baghdad.

 

I said this before and I'll say it again - Obama screwed up
when he pulled the troops. Someone commented last week
that it wasn't Obama's decision... give me a break! Mr E.O.
"Executive Order" Obama isn't even bound by our Constitution,
much less an "Agreement" made 8 years ago... but hey, if
you want another reason to say "It's Bush's Fault!" I guess
that was as good as any. Anyway... what's done is done, and
what needs to happen next is simply deal with the situation
at hand and not continue to place blame and call names.
Ground troops need to be there, because it's obvious that
the airstrikes aren't doing the job - we've heard that from
Syria, Turkey, and Iraq already.

 

And it shouldn't just be our boys and girls over there - the
rest of the world with able bodied men and women should
be stepping up too!

 

:angry:

 

Ok, before I get too far off on that tangent... ISIS is manageable,
and I'm confident that they will be dealt with eventually... but
unfortunately it's going to get worse before it gets better,
thanks to the do-nothing politicians that make decisions for
the world militaries that will eventually HAVE to get involved.

 

And by "get involved", I don't mean sending more tanks, planes,
weapons and gear that ISIS can capture and use...

... that's the easy way to put off action, and it's not going to work.

 

When I say "get involved", I mean SCREW the pundits and bleeding
heart hippies
that think we can talk our way out of this mess. ISIS
needs to be wiped out with incredible force, and YES some innocents
are going to get killed... but how many more innocents do we
have to see missing their heads before it's time to pull the stops
and actually DO something?

 

ARRRRG!! The situation just makes me furious... everyone is just
sitting around talking about it, and that's not going to solve
anything. Sending a couple airstrikes isn't going to do it, either -
it's just another waste of time and taxpayer money.

 

Here comes the bad news... what we need is a REAL LEADER to
stand up and say "We need to defeat these bad guys, so who is
with us?!" - and we don't have that leader. So unless another
country steps up to the plate (which never seems to happen), or
something insanely dramatic happens to FORCE the world to act,
we're looking at another 2 years of "the same" until the current
buffoon is out of office and another buffoon steps in to take his
place... but hopefully, that new buffoon will have ran on a campaign
that promised extreme action to defeat ISIS.

 

Ok... let me catch my breath here real quick. Eventually major
action will be taken, ISIS will be handled, and in the meantime
Iraq is still making headway... so all is not lost. 

 

FWIW - I feel that those of us NOT on Iraqi, Syrian, Turkish, or 

close-by soil are still pretty safe. YES, there will be a few instances of 

TERRORISM (not "workplace violence") outside of the main areas 

that ISIS is fighting for. And YES, there will always be some potential 

for another 9/11... but (unfortunately for the Middle East), ISIS is a 

relatively localized issue and most of us get to go about our daily 

lives without major fear of being beheaded.  (YET.)

 

(Rant over :twothumbs:)

 

Government Of Iraq:

 

Ministers of Interior and Defense still not seated... I'll be blunt,
this one surprised me. Abadi and the entire GOI seemed to be
on a massive fast-track right up until about 2 weeks ago, and
now we're seeing them stall on these two appointments. Fortunately,
it's a simple process - they vote for candidates and Abadi chooses. I
don't foresee this taking too much longer, as things continue to
move reasonably smooth in Iraq, despite what this one situation
would lead you to believe.

 

Kurdish delegates negotiating today and tomorrow with Baghdad.
The people involved (including Oil Minister" give me a strong hope
that this is THE negotiation, and we'll see a completed HCL out of
it. BRING IT!

 

And finally, there's renewed talk of deleting the 0's - every time
I mention it, there's an uproar from people ("Doesn't this mean LOP
Adam? Oh noeeessss!!!") - so before that happens, please please
calm down already! :lol: Deleting the 0's can be done in conjunction
with a raise in values, issuing new currency, and cha-ching! Profit. OR
it can be a 0-sum event, which means nobody loses anything, and
we watch the value climb naturally until we can cash in at 0 loss
(despite what the nay-saying lopsters would argue). The only way
you can lose money in this adventure (in my opinion) is to WILLINGLY
sell at a loss. Otherwise, be patient and reap the rewards.

 

However - this article reminded me of a topic I haven't touched on

recently, and it's a good thing to understand for all you newbies to
the dinar reading this.

 

When a significant increase in value happens, new notes will have to
be issued. They will most likely be put in circulation alongside the
existing notes, and everyone will be given a window (most likely 3-6
months) to exchange notes. (This has NOTHING to do with the "value" -
it's just an "exchange".)

 

In order for that to be successful, the GOI will have to run a pretty
serious campaign to educate the world on the event, so that may be
cause for a week or two delay between the time they announce the
increase and when we can actually cash in. It's possible that in order

to control the event, the CBI will temporarily halt auctions, which means

no USD will be coming out of Iraq during that time, which means that

no foreign banks will be paying out. Once the CBI and the GOI feel they

have a good handle on things, auctions resume, IQD goes back on the

exchange platforms, and then we get to cash out. (FYI There's nothing

negative about that, you'll just have to wait a little longer to buy your

private jet or chunk of Hawaii.)

 

 

So to summarize.... ISIS is a PITA, but not necessarily blocking an RV of
the IQD. GOI could be moving a little faster, but things are getting done
at a faster pace than anytime in the last 8 years.

 

:twothumbs:

 

 

 

Here's the weekly Q&A:

 

captl1  Thanks Adam for all you do and of course for being honest and open with your opinions. Now in your opinion do you see ISIS as a major problem for those who need to take the census for the HCL/ article 140? This could cause a delay. Thanks again

 

 

My pleasure :tiphat:

 

I believe ISIS is not going to be a major issue for HCL at this time, but it's 

definitely a situation I am keeping a close eye on.

 

HBO  Hi Adam,thanks for answering my questions before. Are there any possibilities that IQD will RV 500IQD:USD1 because of the oil deficit? I heard from a source that the high oil deficit (or other deficits,I'm not sure) will make it harder for IQD to RV for 1:1.

 

 

I haven't heard 500:1 from any of my sources, BUT that's still double the value

it currently is at and it would not be a bad first step.

 

new york kevin  Ola. Do we need to join OSI, or is VIP good enough for us to get more info about "dual citizenship" .

 

 

No sir, OSI is not required. All of my dual citizenship information is currently being posted in the VIP 

section at this link: http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/forum/57-pt-2nd-passport-dual-citizenship/

 

new york kevin  Sir Adam: Will we be able to keep the ISX blog going after the RV? Will it be easier to join the ISX and trade stocks on the ISX after an RV? ...

 

 

Absolutely, but the format may change. All VIPs will have access to even more information, but I truly 

believe it is worthwhile to keep the community intact so I will not be closing the site.

 

..... (ran out of allowed quotes....)... To be continued....

Part 2 of 2:

 

yendor  Adam. in your last week's report you stated that you don't trust our government. That started me thinking about this question :  What foreign government do you trust MORE than ours, and why ? Personally, I have very little faith in ANY government.

 

 

None. I don't like any of them.

 

However, looking at the world realistically it becomes apparent that some countries are
better than others for specific things. Some countries have no corporate tax, some have
no income tax, etc.

 

I believe that we all need to do our best to put ourselves in the most beneficial worldly position
possible, with regards to freedom and finances. That's why I'm such a huge fan of legal methods
like offshore business and banking, dual citizenships, etc.

 

:twothumbs:

 

 

Reelemfast  Hey Old Man, I think the U.S. is about had it with Iraq. Far as that goes the U.N. has to. NO more help for Iraq, until they get the Goverment seated, Budget passed, HCL, stable country, currency, quit disagreeing & the list goes on & on. They have a lot of work to do, PERIOD !!!!   If they don't get with it, Soon, ISIS will be the Gov. &  Prime Minister of the country, PERIOD !!!!  Like you said, the Media is Full of Crap also.  Barrack told them NO solders on the ground, tell they join the U.N., like everybody else. What I'm saying is they Got to get this done VERY soon or it's all over with for Iraq.  One more thing, Let's take a vote on Who want's to see Maliki hang by his NECK????  Where's my ticket to Vegas, I want to buy you a Drink.......GO R.V. & God Bless Amaerica

 

I'll take you up on the drink. :D

 

chess  ADAM:   Just curious if Kurdistan (big oil) would have any sway with the CBI regarding currency revaluation?......thx

 

Absolutely yes - that's an integral part of the RV, in fact.

 

TheHyperLinker  How soon after RV will ... [VIP/OSI questions clipped]

 

 

Look here: http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/169041-new-to-osi-the-cheat-sheet/

 

Feel free to ask anything not addressed in that thread in the VIP section - you'll be amazed at how fast
the VIP group will respond with amazing and helpful answers.

 

:twothumbs:

 

Frank61  Adam could you discuss anything you know about Warka Bank ?  We just cant info from them nor can we view our stocks. Thanks

 

 

Sorry Frank61, I'm not current on anything with Warka. My advice would be to post in the Warka
section here on DinarVets.

 

:shrug:

 

 

AustinMom  Adam,  Do you think that Abadi and "team" will have to locate all the billions of misappropriated funds before they entertain the idea of stating the real value of the IQD?  This could take years...... starting in London, all the way to billing, reportedly, 200,000 USD for F-350's (a piece), and pocketing the excess by the minister of transportation.

 

Nah, I think that's going to be water under the bridge so to speak. Nobody is going to
"audit" the CBI when they decide to pay more for their currency.

 

 

new york kevin  Dude do you think then, when do you think they will actually fill the Interior and Defence Minister positions? Got any GOOD inside info?

 

 

 

Hopefully that's happening today/tomorrow. :twothumbs:

WHEW! That was a doozie.... I leave you with this very serious note on Ebola:

I said this before and I'll say it again - Obama screwed up

that it wasn't Obama's decision... give me a break! Mr E.O.

"Executive Order" Obama isn't even bound by our Constitution,

much less an "Agreement" made 8 years ago... but hey, if

you want another reason to say "It's Bush's Fault!" I guess

that was as good as any. Anyway... what's done is done, and

My one and only response ...lest I again be accused of high jacking by replying to a comment in the first post....

 

It was NOT Obama's call. BUSH made Iraq a SOVEREIGN NATION and BUSH signed the agreement withdrawing the troops. Obama tried to negotiate for them staying longer, but the Iraq refused altogether. It takes two to negotiate. Iraq would not budge on the immunity and that was non negotiable...(as it should be), As for EXECUTIVE ORDER PRESIDENT.....Obama has the LEAST amount of EO's since Harding. So, short of AGAIN invading Iraq, Obama could NOT keep the troops there without Iraq's consent.

 

That said...I appreciate all you do, and I applaud your extensive research on the situation regarding the rv. I come here for facts on the RV. If I am unable to respond to your political comments without penalty, let me know now. Thanks

I don't usually respond to contrary posts, because they are usually just opinions. Also, I don't post these weekly threads withe the intention of starting a debate. I post them in order to share my views, and I'm glad to hear that will be your last comment on the matter. You are still more than welcome to come here for the things you appreciate at no cost to you whatsoever.

 

Here is my final response to you or anyone else that thinks there was nothing Obama could have done in this situation:

 

If we simply refused to pull all the troops, what would have happened? Would Iraq have started a war with us? Would they have attacked our troops? NO, they wouldn't have. To argue that "it's Bush's fault" is simply ridiculous.

 

Finally, either he is or he isn't responsible... and he says he was.

 

You can't have it both ways.

 

 

Have a great day. :tiphat:


Thanks for the chat Adam and not to change course of this thread but some folks live in denial land.....

Obama Brags About Getting Troops Out Of Iraq, Then Denies It

 

:lmao:

 

Your video definitely trumps mine. Well done sir :D

completely agree.  however prepare for the negs.  it has become more of an emotional issue than a fact/truth based one.  and with that, YES obama should have slapped the iraqi parliament in the face and kept troops there despite their vote and the wishes of the prime minister.  that is exactly what he should have done.   :shrug:

here is a great article on politico.  i encourage everyone to read, add this to the other education you receive, and then try to find truth from it all.  i know it is popular to bash obama for many and apparent reasons, but if we are to discover truth then conjecture and feelings have to go out the window.  

 

Iraq’s prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki, told U.S. negotiators that he was willing to sign an executive memorandum of understanding that included these legal protections. But for any agreement to be binding under the Iraqi constitution, it had to be approved by the Iraqi parliament. This was the judgment of every senior administration lawyer and Maliki’s own legal adviser, and no senior U.S. military commander made the case that we should leave forces behind without these protections. Even Sen. John McCain, perhaps the administration’s harshest Iraq critic, admitted in a December 2011 speech discussing the withdrawal that the president’s demand for binding legal immunities “was a matter of vital importance.” Moreover, because the 2008 security agreement had been approved by the Iraqi parliament, it seemed both unrealistic and politically unsustainable to apply a lower standard this time around.
 
Unfortunately, Iraqi domestic politics made it impossible to reach a deal. Iraqi public opinion surveys consistently showed that the U.S. military presence was deeply unpopular (only in Iraqi Kurdistan did a majority of people want American G.I.s to stay). Maliki was willing to consider going to parliament to approve a follow-on agreement, but he was not willing to stick his neck out. Other political factions would have to support the move, and the support wasn’t there. The Sadrists, a populist Shia movement that was now a major bloc in the parliament, were dead set against U.S. troops remaining. Ayad Allawi and Sunni politicians aligned with the Iraqiyya coalition supported a continued U.S. presence, but they knew that most of their Sunni constituents did not. They also wanted to condition their support on Maliki agreeing to additional political concessions. The Kurds were more active in their advocacy for a follow-on agreement, but they could not convince others to go along. So when Iraq’s major political bloc leaders met in early October 2011 in an all-night session, they agreed on the need for continued U.S. “trainers” but said they were unwilling to seek immunities for these troops through the parliament. The die was thus cast. Obama and Maliki spoke on Oct. 21 and agreed that U.S. forces would depart as scheduled by the end of the year.

Adam, please, I appreciate the research and info on our investment, but please let's leave political opinions out of this. We are in this for the money not to cast blame, and when you go on tangents based off your personal opinions it taints and pollutes the facts and we can't tell where one starts and the other ends. This isn't fox or cnn, just the facts, please, we are of diverse backgrounds in a common goal, soon this will be less dinar facts and more of people polluting your forum with bitter chats and keyboard tough guys. I look forward to each Wednesday for the chats but today was too much.

I loved it.....facts a sometimes are to find...We have some people here who read..a lot..and they, IMO, are able best to find those few and far between facts. Sometimes these facts have some opinions to go along with it. I love it when someone posts a news piece then goes on to give their opinion. sometimes it makes me look at something in a totally new light....so

 

Bring on the opinions!!

Thanks for another wonderful post, Adam.  It is apparent that you put a lot of thought into it.  I really appreciate your opinions and we want to know you as a person and not just as a business man.  I have suspected that you were an awesome person all along but now you are letting your light shine!  I love it!  Keep it coming . . .

Reminds me of a man who called into Mark Levin's radio show to tell him that his wife won't listen to his show because he's too abrasive. Needless to say Mark Levin announced that the caller clearer doesn't wear the pants in the family and that his wife doesn't have any say in how he runs HIS OWN SHOW! He chastised the caller for that throughout the whole show. Very entertaining.
