Preparing For Dinar Revaluation
Amidst all the hype and hoopla about the dinar revaluation and the rate, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and consumed, spending too much time hoping and waiting and not enough time preparing.
The dinar revaluation is very near. Many, believe it will happen any day.
In the years since I have been following this, never have I seen so much daily anticipation of an announcement, and rate speculations so high. As usual, all we can do is wait, but while we’re waiting, let’s make sure we have a clear plan in place.
Once it happens, whether sooner or later, I believe it will happen quickly and quietly, when we least expect it, and we need to be ready.
Below are two main tasks that, at a minimum, should be decided upon and planned out before rv. They are:
1. Decide on your cash in location:
Several banks are now, or will be set up to make the exchanges. I don’t have a lot to say about banks however because there is so much secrecy and/or ignorance about this investment, with the exception of a few individual branches and TD bank. See my post, “Dinar RV Update” for TD Bank’s handling of the dinar.
Another way to go is through a currency exchange. As with banks, not all currency exchanges are the same. Like banks, fees will vary as well as procedures. You can do a Google search for foreign currency exchange to find one in your area.
When asked about the Iraqi dinar, Currency Exchange International said they will do it with cash, or wire, however they will not know what their fee will be until after dinar revaluation.
They have locations in California, Florida, Massachusettes, and Virginia. Their website is https://secure.ceifx.com/
Another popular option for cashing in is going through Ali from Dinar Trade, utilizing one of the satellite locations he will have set up to make exchanges. He will also prepared to exchange dinar for gold.
Many investors have groups established with transportation via bus. Some traveling by plane are securing private jets for security purposes. In communication with Ali, he assured me that traveling commercially with dinar should not be a problem within the U.S. since Customs would not be involved. I recommend speaking with your local airport security to find out how easy, or not, it will be to fly with your dinar commercially.
For detailed information on Dinar Trade’s cash in procedures go to the “Post RV” page.
2. Consult a CPA, tax accountant and/or tax attorney:
You will need to decide on the types of accounts and/or entities you want to put your money in to. If you own a business, corporation, or ministry you can enjoy certain tax advantages. You could even wait until after rv and cash in a small amount so you can hire professionals and set up your entities. Having a plan for how you want to spend and invest your wealth is a must.
A good tax attorney is a good idea to help U.S. citizens avoid an IRS audit, particularly those who plan to tithe and give sizable offerings. The right professional can help you make charitable contributions and pay taxes with minimal stress while keeping most of your ROI.
If you have made these decisions or at least begun to, you are doing well. Once you cash in according to your plan, a good financial professional/counselor can help you move your money. It is recommended by many not to leave a substantial amount in U.S. dollars.
Hard assets like gold, real estate, possibly silver are good ideas. Other currencies such as the Euro is wise. Many are investing in the Dong hoping to earn a nice return much like the dinar. Annuities are also worth looking in to. For those of you who are traders, obviously you will want to invest in stock, options, etc. By all means diversify. Coming soon to this blog is a page dedicated to traders of all kinds.
I will continue to share ideas as I get them and keep you posted on latest developments.

This is an excellent resource. I have printed off a copy for safekeeping.
Thank you.
December 5th, 2009 at 2:51 am
Thanks for the wonderful post. Keep up the good work. I was thinking that we could start a section or post where we can recommend an Investment Counselor or Tax Attorney if we know a good one. My guy handles a number of FBI agents investments and has done very well through this economic downturn. Just a thought. What do you think?
December 5th, 2009 at 3:51 am
Great Post Admin. I love the down to earth thinking and real information. It’s a nice change from all the hype lately. Good luck to all of us and God Bless.
December 5th, 2009 at 4:23 am
George & Pam – great idea. In my thinking it would be good to be able to categorize the resources by region.
Thanks, admin, for your great work.
December 5th, 2009 at 5:26 am
I’m columbia sc so if you could recommend someone I would greatly appreciated. I went to BOA and spoke with the manager and explained to her that i was interested in opening account with funds i’ve made from foreign currency trading. I said maybe in access of a millions dollars. Of course she had the deer in headlights look. She didnt ask any fact finding questions and I didnt want to say to much because I’m sure she didnt know about the dinar so I didnt mention it but she referred me to the downtown branch.
December 5th, 2009 at 5:47 am
Thank you very much for the great post. It is all very exciting.
December 5th, 2009 at 7:24 am
Does anyone have a link to forms necessary for gifting dinar to family BEFORE RVl?
Thanks Admin! Great info!
Go Dinar!
December 5th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Great Advice Admin!! Does Anyone Have Any Tax Attorney Suggestions?
Thanks
December 5th, 2009 at 9:13 am
I received this e-mail info from my Father and his group…
Just some concepts to keep in mind as we watch the events unfold and the weird way things seem to be going.
First, money: There are basically two types of money; money based on the strength of an economy like the US, and money based on valuable commodities like oil, gold, etc., like Kuwait, Saudi, and at present Iraq, potentially.
The value of the USD is based on our ability to produce goods and services.
The value of the KWD (Kuwait), for example, is 95% based on the value of the oil in the ground being pumped and sold. Iraq, right now, has now valued its money on the value of its commodities of which they have an abundance (oil, gold, other minerals, agriculture and a host of other valuable things the world wants). BUT, Iraq WANTS to have an economy on which to base its money because having a viable economy is MORE stable than simply pumping oil. When the oil runs out, their money becomes worthless again.
Second, International Politics: The US and Iraq are tied together, the US$ is Iraq’s international money. They want their OWN international money.
China wants to dethrone the US$ as the global currency so they are pushing buttons with the IMF to revalue the IQD at a LOW rate which will weaken the US$. But they can’t let the US$ get too low, or their exports will become expensive and they will lose market share in the US. They are conspiring with Russia and Iran to screw the US$ internationally.
Third, US politics: As the US deficit and debt grow our money becomes less valuable internationally. A good Iraq RV will boost the US$ big time and blunt the Chinese efforts to screw us. This just happened with Dubai.
The
Dubai problem is centered in the
..
which effects the EURO. US banks are not heavily into Dubai, thus with the Dubai possible default international money is flocking to the US and increasing the value of the US$ against the EURO. The US took a 6.5% bump up since the Dubai real estate problem became public.
This means that the IMF efforts to pin the Dinar to the EURO (the
$1.49 RV) is weakened by the stronger US$ which makes the Iraqi desire for a HIGH RV in US$ more probable and more feasible.
International Trade: Iraq WANTS to establish an economy based on more than their oil, gold, and natural gas so they have to get into the international market systems. To do this they MUST have a currency with real value.
The sooner they do the RV the faster they will be able to build their economy.
They have taken the steps necessary to begin this process, but still need the revalued currency.
So right now, we know a few things.
First, in order to get a better economic position the CBI had to revalue before the IMF imposed deadline which all information says they did.
So there IS a value but we don’t know what it is. But the CBI has no POWER to implement the RV publicly. Only the government of Iraq can do that and they are looking for the most politically advantageous time to insure their re-election in January or February. Apparently, the CBI HAS made the decision to avoid the embarrassment of having the IMF tell them what THEIR money should be worth. They just haven’t made it known yet. That’s up to the politicians. We believe they are ready to do it but just have not decided precisely when. With their desire to get into international trade, they have to get moving on this.
Second, Iraq didn’t want the low IMF value of $1.49. They would prefer a high $3.27 for two reasons; it is supportable by their natural resources AND it would attract to the country to help build their economy.
Third, they can’t go too high as that would only be based on natural resources and would be better off to go a little lower in order to give them room to grow. Thus, we have the $2.47 possible rate. The problem with the high rate is that it would make the nation a welfare state like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In both those countries with high value money, they don’t do anything but pump oil. 95% of the value of their currency is the money they get from exporting oil. If the exports decrease, their revenues decrease and they have nothing to back it up. The people don’t do anything except receive royalty checks from the government, it’s like a nation of welfare recipients run by rich sheiks. Iraq wants to avoid that situation, but still have a high enough value to attract .
Fourth; the $2.47 rate is based on the SDR which is a “basket” of currencies from different nations with stable economies so that the money value will remain consistent. The SDR consists of proportions from the US$, British pound, Japanese Yen and the EURO. This position makes the most sense as the economies are stable, functional and diversified.
We also know that all of this has to happen pretty soon if Iraq is going to get the benefits from ALL the contracts they are signing to develop their oil fields and get their manufacturing and agricultural economy going. Thus the people get jobs, and don’t end up like Kuwait or Saudi where a bunch of sheiks instead of an elected government runs the country.
With all of the oil (3rd largest in the world) in the ground being exploited, nearly the same amount of oil (approx 150 billion additional barrels) not yet drilled (found but not drilled), their gold deposits, other minerals, natural gas deposits, and agriculture (the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers make the land VERY fertile), Iraq has the potential for a diversified and significant economy. So this country is really on the brink of economic explosion so WHEN they decide to implement the RV, their economy will begin to rebuild. This will be a significant political benefit to the current politicians. Again, the sooner the better for everyone. They are just waiting to get their internal politics lined up and let it happen.
But politically, if Iraq becomes a strong, semi-democratic, economically stable nation, it will divide the jihadist Iran and isolate it from Saudi, etc. and over 2/3 rds of the Middle East oil (which is 60% of the total oil in the world) would be in moderate Islamic control which will blunt the jihadist movement.
As far as we are concerned, all of this good stuff is still POTENTIAL not ACTUAL, so the RV is really for Iraq as much as a speculation as it is for us. They have to get their “ducks in a row”. They have to be generating contracts to develop their resources to get the money to grow their economy. They have to have their politics lined up so the internal factions (Kurds, Sunnis, Shi’ites) who don’t like each other much get the right share of the benefits. They have to avoid the Chinese blackmail attempt to bankrupt them by dumping their 3 trillion dinar on the market to derail their efforts to aid Iran and Russia in THEIR attempts to corner the oil and natural gas to Europe. Right now with the Dubai real estate failures, the European Central Bank is in trouble and the US$ is getting stronger pushing Iraq away from any RV that has the EURO in it. As Iraq moves away from the EURO and toward the US$, that makes China’s bid to deny the US$ as the default global currency less successful.
IF, for example, Iraq RV’s at $3, then the US will have $15 trillion dollars in dinar. We owe China $800 billion which works to weaken the US$. We could give China 100 billion dinars out of our 5 trillion (plus the 1.5 trillion private US citizens own) and pay them off helping the US$ get stronger by wiping out our debt to China and thus counter their political moves against us. The rest of the dinars we own, we could use to buy oil from Iraq with DINARS, not US$ which would again help our economy recover thus pulling out of Saudi. This way we could buy oil, pay off our debt without having to print more US$ and that would help our deficit and debt BIG TIME!! A big RV is a real boon to both the US and Iraq, IF Iraq can get their act together. (Remember Bush said Iraq war would PAY for itself and this is the way.)
So … when we watch the nets and it seems like people are wrong, or seem to be putting out false info, remember this situation is as fluid as water and Iraq is trying to contain a spill. There’s a LOT MORE involved in this RV than simply posting a number on And this doesn’t take into account the biblical aspects of a resurgent Iraq!
This gives me hope, I hope it does for you as well!
December 5th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Thank you Cherilyn:
This site is the best I’ve found regarding the dinar.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Wow we are getting some good info out there.
If this all goes down, I’m getting a new set of tires for the truck.
“Store bought” this time , not used.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Thank a lot for the info
December 5th, 2009 at 11:12 am
George & Pam,
Absolutely. I actually have a page dedicated to Taxes and tax/financial professionals. I’m not showing it now because I’m working on gathering complete and accurate information. I have possibly two professionals lined up to hopefully be able to share with you all. When that’s done, I’ll publish the Taxes page. I also welcome any others who are, or know of good professionals and would like to help out. Just email me.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Thank you Califold and all who have offered positive feedback.
I really appreciate it.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Thank you all for the the great info…keep it coming
December 5th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
David
You make sense but I am left with one primary question. I want to agree with knowing that there has been an RV. How do you know that? Not just logic because it does make sense but what are your facts? Thank you.
December 5th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Hey Bubba, maybe you can move from a prepaid phone card to an actual plan too!!!
You crack me up!!
Thanks Admin for all of your diligence.
David, thanks for that info, all I guess we will have to see won’t we.
George & Pam: I’ve got a guy who has been getting between 11-13% on his investments right now. If your guy is better, I would be all ears!!!
December 5th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Hey Bubba – Maybe we can buy a house without wheels too!
December 5th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Thank you all for this valuable information.
December 5th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
I think I’ll knock the wheels and axles of the single wide and I think I’ll have enough for some of those flemingo “decoys” for the front lawn.
December 5th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
thanks for the info guys you been such a good help we should be hearing something soon.
December 5th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Thanks everybody for all the info. I can’t wait to have fun and enjoy the rest of my life however long that might be. First comes the charities and church, then the bills and long needed vacation. Bless us all and may we all do good with this gift.
December 5th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Church then a Youth Camp here in No. VA to help inner-city kids see what it’s really all about. After that the mortgage, then an Alaska cruise with the wife of my youth. And what a hoot it will be to help needy families with food, rent, car expenses. Psalm 112, the dinar investors Psalm!
December 5th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Psalm 112 works Indwelt! First time post….been following the site for a few weeks. Recently invested and enjoy all the rumors(Cuz I’m a dreamer) but the pessimist in me tells me it is too good to be true? One of my thoughts I’ve had, about why I doubt the RV is close, is because NO ONE at any bank I’ve talked to has any faith or knowledge of a Dinar RV(I’ve called VP’s and managers of Investments and Foriegn Currency)…..But it just came to me…..If the few Bank-Big-wigs that do know what is going on, let everyone working at their bank know about the Dinar potential…………how many workers would still be at the bank(making $10/hour) after they all cashed in post RV? : ) Not many. So I guess i can understand the hush-hush that is going on.
I also have a question…..Heard a rumor that Former President Bush bought BILLIONS of Dinar several years ago. Any thruth to that?
December 5th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
I have a question. I’m a new Iraqi dinar investor, and just recently purchased the 25,000 denomination notes. Now, I’m reading it would have been better to invest in the smaller notes. Is this true? Did we make a mistake purchasing the larger denomination? Thanks for your help.
December 6th, 2009 at 12:10 am
This is the link where I read about the risks of having the larger 25,000 NID notes: http://dinarspeculation.com/2009/11/23/large-iraqi-dinar-notes/#more-488
December 6th, 2009 at 5:01 am
Linda. I read this article you posted a few weeks ago. I thought that I would check on trying to get these 25,000 NID notes exchanged for smaller denominations. I called DinarTrade and they told me they would exchange them for a fee. I also called DinarBanker and spoke with “Guy”. He asked me why I would want to exchange the 25K notes for smaller denominations. I told him what I had read. He told me that this was just a rumor. He said that the 25K notes would be just fine. He said that exchanging them for smaller notes would be a waste of my time. I hope he is correct about this. If anyone knows any other information on this, please post it. Thanks.
December 6th, 2009 at 5:11 am
Thanks David and to whom sent you your email. Good read!
December 6th, 2009 at 6:24 am
It is logical that the large bills would need to come out of the system and be destroyed if they rv is say $1 or more. But how many $1000 bills do you see in the US? If this goes to $2.47 as speculated, then in theory you would need to have a large number of single dinar denominations and 5’s and 10’s. Where are these dinar? How would you buy a loaf of bread? So you can go exchange your 25,000 notes for 1000 notes but how does that help you or the citizenry of iraq. Remember they have large notes also. Do you think the government would choose to do this to their own people when democracy is still very fragile there? Remember also that the purchasing power of your currency is more important than the denominations. This is more about the ability to participate in the world economy and grow the iraqi economy. To do this they must have a currency that is of some competitive value to attract investors and compete in the world of exports. In theory also, they should be at an competitive range with their neighbors based on the oil reserves they hold. Think of it this way…why buy Kuwait oil at $3 exchange rate when I can get the same oil from iraq with an exchange rate of 10 cents.
The rv must happen but there are many forces at play and time will be the key factor.
December 6th, 2009 at 7:01 am
Please people wake up and smell the coffee; the person that runs this blog has no Intel she has the internet, spends hours of time stealing other information.
If we are going to see an RV or RI in 2009 it will be on the 15 of Dec – not saying it will happen that day but that is when you would see in 09!
As for the person that runs this blog she is full of *hit! Not sure how they sleep at night filling peoples head with lies SHAME ON YOU did you forget GOD IS watching!
December 6th, 2009 at 8:09 am
This is my first post, but I have been watching several forums for months and several people posted that it has been set to RV at $2.47, but if that is true..why are they still holding auctions? If Iraq has already set the RV at $2.47 wouldn’t the auctions stop?
December 6th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Dinar Intel,
I hope Cherilynn blocks your IP address. Would you care to elaborate on why YOU feel the 15th of this month is the only day it could RV in 2009?
December 6th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Another hurdle cleared! Whohoo…. http://www.app.com/article/20091206/NEWS06/91206046/Iraq+clears+way+for+parliamentary+elections
December 6th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
To Dinar Intel: Remember God is watching us all!
December 6th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
To Dinar Intel: GET A LIFE and GOD is WATCHING YOU TOO!
As far as the quality of this site, the administrator here is the best I have seen. I prefer the facts and not ficticious “rumortales” the other sites seem to breed by the minute. I hope you are BLOCKED from this site!
December 7th, 2009 at 5:42 am
I agree with Califold; Dinar Intel’s rant is totally uncalled for and inconsistent with the quality of other participants and the great admin we have on this site.
December 7th, 2009 at 7:52 am
I agree with califold also. The rv may not happen as fast as we want it to, but the info which we get from admin is factual and they make sure we get it. It may not be on a daily basis like I wish but when it comes it can be backed up with a second source. I believe that when the rv comes everyone will be happy and thankful to her for bringing us the news. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ADMIN!
December 7th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
I, too, agree with Califold. Be nice or get off the playground, Dinar Intel!
Thanks, Admin!
December 7th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Here is some interesting reading I received this morning. There was a whole lot more but I’m only posting this part. I’m getting excited – I can’t help it! Might be another roller coaster ride but if I remember those I always enjoyed them and got back in line for another trip! Enjoy

So i am 100% thinking it will be on forex this week, and we will be cashing in at some point this week. Now as you know, no one has been right yet, because if one of us was, we sure as sin wouldn’t be having this chat. But i really like our chances in the next 48-72 hours.
I know Ali has been talking to people, and i have a friend that has 400,000 dollars u.s in dinar, and ali thinks as well that this week is the week, in-fact he said it could very-well be tomm. And he would know, considering he gets or got his dinar from trade bank of iraq, and just opened a bank there and a bank here, and I heard a school too, (wow hes packed with money)
i dont have much more to say, but stop listening to all the rumors, and we will see it on forex……… soon.
December 7th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
amen to that. our god is never early,never late, but he is always on time’( just saying this could be our time). butterfly thanks for the info.
December 7th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Forgive your right God is watching us all, I’m frustrated sorry
December 7th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Apology accepted by all, I’m sure. Frustration is inevitable if expectation is too high. I have to pull the reigns myself from time to time and remind myself that I’m already rich in the ways that matter most. Dinar RV for me will be nothing more than one more bright facet on a the magnificent jewel of a fulfilled life.
December 7th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Indwelt ******that was incredible choice of words THANK YOU and sorry again
December 7th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
It can be frustrating especially when so much is at stake. However, my wish is for all the people that are about to receive a blessing like no other, that we all will do good with it.
I have been in many many situations of why me? why me? with finances and very poor health. However, when this blessing happens it will give me the most joy to know I not only will not have to worry about finances again in my lifetime but I will be able to help so so many people that need it.
Maybe Admin can start something to let us all know about others? I know there are very many. I would like to see funds go to the charities where most of the percentage of donations actually go to the needy. Does anyone know of a list???
Hey Bubba!!! Missing your posts. you picked out those new tires yet??? Keep the faith dude
December 7th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Dinar Intel,
Would you care to elaborate on why YOU feel the 15th of this month is the only day it could RV in 2009? You sparked my curiosity with that post. Thank you in advance for sharing.
December 8th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Mr.Phonics a friend I trust has came up with three dates only 1 was for 2009 they quoted this date to me some time in June of 09. Not sure of the reasoning for it? I look to see if they posted anything lately on the other web site did see anything. I email and asked what/why they thought the 15th and what were the other 2 dates were. The response was;
Nice to hear from you don’t get discouraged it will happen “someday” long as you keep that in mind you won’t get frustrated! I don’t believe in INTEL I told you that the dates are my educated guess anyone could come up with that. The three dates based on my emails from my contacts (LOL not INTEL) that were sent to me. My contacts I have are in different types on positions around the world some have invested in dinar some have not. The rest is information I have collected on the World Wide Web.
None know the date if they claim they do they are not telling you the truth, be careful what you believe and stay positive. Don’t bash people for information they give read and learn, be thankful you can take information. I thought the newest website I joined was something real but I have noticed people being banned for different things and when I posted a conversation in chat with a senior member I was banned, I laughed just goes to my thoughts on all these website (I’ll keep that to myself). I’d think I will stick to the blog as I have for the past 2 years good source of info most part great people.
Keep in touch
Please consider the environment before printing this email note. Avant d’imprimer, pensez à l’environnement!
December 9th, 2009 at 7:32 am
I find this site interesting. After being totally fried by the church during my divorce I pretty much vowed to avoid religious people like the plague. I must admit that I like the discussions here. It is nice listening to people who want to get rich not for the sake of getting rich but for the good that could be done with the money. Money is only as good as the good it can produce. This is one of the reasons I am looking forward to the RV. I truly hope that this is the week. I am so tired of watching my wife being treated like dirt at her job and I look forward to her being able to quit and do what she likes regardless if it makes money. Thank you for all your intel.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Hey Doc….Just wondering, what type of Church “fried” you? I was raised Catholic and the Catholic Church(mine anyway) almost ruined me too! Please note, most of my family and many friends are still Catholic…so I’m not slamming the Religion as a whole….Simple Christian now, attending Southern Baptist Churches for the last 10 years has totally changed me and my family. I too enjoy this site and the apparent faith of those that visit it…
As a Catholic, “religious weekly rituals” is what I felt I was part of…..now, it is about the spiritual developement of my relationship with God! The biggest key to my growth in faith is due to the true “miracles” God has worked in my life because of our faithful Tithing. Malachi 3:10 says something to the effect of “Challenge me on this” (tithing) says the Lord, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven, so much that you will not have room for all the blessings”. God doesn’t ask to be “challenged” very often….so I take Him up on this weekly! : ) My family and I have Tithed faithfully for 10+ years(we’re not perfect and have failed occasionally) and God has always provided. If it is God’s will, the RV will happen and we will all be blessed. If it does not happen soon, have peace in the knowledge that God knows our needs, better than we do…and he ALWAYS provides for our needs. The fact that you are sitting somewhere reading this means that every day of your life, God has provided for you(us) all our “needs”. maybe not our “wants….but all our needs. I understand the situation with your wife and hope you get your wish.

Guzo…nice hearing from you. Mine was the Free Methodist Church. Really have not gone anywhere seriously for a number of years but there is a quiet constant connection between me and ‘The Boss’. I love doing quiet things for others hoping that I please ‘The Boss’. I believe that as we are created in His image that whatever we do to one another is a reflection on Him. If I am able to help another human being I see it as an act of worship to the Creator. I believe there is no greater joy in life than to secretly do good for another person.

This first sentence is for Doc. Sorry you had to go thru the fire with the church crowd over your divorce. Please remember, that was people walking away from you, but GOD never did…… and never will. He never left your side throughout all your troubles.
As far as how to get involved in giving, since you really don’t know for sure that all of it actually goes to who it should, I plan on directly giving it to the end user or the needy. Not just my money, but my time also. The joy is seeing firsthand how GOD can bless people thru you. To give to an organization simply because they “appear” to be legit, doesn’t necessarily mean that they are. After all, no matter what or how we give, we are to be wise about it. Do your homework and make sure most if not all your money goes to who it’s supposed to.

jj, you r so right. my husband and i just had this convasation this morning. we would much rather put it in someones hand directly than in an organization. yes, they do have some that are on the up and up, but the reality is they will have to pay for the ones who operate dishonestly. we must be wise in what we do and prayerful in our decisions. and you are also right about our time, what better witness is there than that to give of ones self in one of the most unselfish ways. this will free up many christians time, hopefully we as christians will step up to the plate when the time comes.

Just read another update from a different chat room that is worth talking about. Apparently, some guy named medic is all upset because his group is asking questions about an RV rate that he claimed was already set by Iraq over 2 weeks ago. According to him, he has an “insider” at the treasury and the rate of $2.47 had been settled on. It was essentially a done deal!
He stuck to this claim until a day or two ago and backtracked saying he was sure it would RV soon but wasn’t sure of the rate. Wouldn’t it be natural for some people to say……..hey wait a minute, 2 weeks ago you said it was a done deal @ $2.47 and now you’re not sure? What strikes me odd is that he all of a sudden gets on his high horse and questions our questions. Look, if you’re gonna go out there and claim something and then backtrack…….you better expect some heat for it. Does it matter what it RV’s at? That depends. Some of us want to cash in enough so that we can quit worrying about our own needs and get out of ourselves so we can be a blessing to others. It takes “MONEY” to do this. And yes, there is a big difference between $2.47 which was sold to us and $.47 (just an example) if that’s what it ends up at. Calling people a bunch of babies just because they now wonder how he got this supposed rate to start with and put it out there to the public is an attempt to deflect accountability for claims he made. if you don’t know, just say you don’t know. But, don’t go around bitching and moaning at the very people you made these statements to in the first place only to backtrack. Anyone know if this person and what kind of info he’s putting out?

This man has never been right. Normally if you disagree with him then he kicks you off his website. It is amazing how many people still believe what he says even though he has been wrong numerous times.
December 11th, 2009 at 9:45 am
Now, now…let’s not all jump all-over this guy.
I personally, will need a “medic” if the RV is at $2.47! Bu-thump-bump. : )

It is not my intent to slander anyone. However, it is important for everyone to get as reliable info from the appointed (self or otherwise) leaders who provide this kind of intel. I realize info can lose its purity as it comes out of iraq, but we can only decipher what we are told. And, we were told the rate was set and then we were told…it is not set…….by the same person. If he wants people to trust him ..he has to be trustworthy. When sources of information prove to be unreliable, it’s up to that person to get other reliable sources or don’t announce anything at all or at the very least, provide a disclaimer stating that what I’m about to say is not gospel…..yet.
Don’t tell me the RV rate is a done deal and the treasury is the only ones holding it up and then turn around and tell me something entirely different. I’d rather you said nothing at all. The majority of people waiting for this Rv are looking at perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity and deserve to be told the truth at all times on what’s happening with the RV. It appears that comments or predictions are being offered up without checking and double checking the intel. Hope is a wonderful thing. Pumping a story to create excitement under questionable intel is anything but good. People who have an investment in this deserve better. it’s not a matter of being content with whatever the final outcome will be. 98% of us will be thankful. From alot of the comments that I’ve seen, I think you all know that GOD delights when his people walk in truth. That goes for our leaders too.

Hey…this site has been pretty quiet this week…. I guess all the predictions and rumors about the RV on the 11th are not going to happen??? Oh well, I for one, enjoy a good rumor on Tuesday….It helps get me to Friday…and then I have Powerball to dream about on Saturday!
In case anyone is looking for some good reading: http://www.cbk.gov.kw
Central Bank of Kuwait has some good stuff. They are quite proud of the fact that their Dinar is the most valuable currency on the planet right now. I think the Iraqi people need to “1-up” them! The Kuwaiti Dinar is worth $3.47 USD……can I get a $3.48 from the (IQD) congregation? Who am I kidding…I’d cash at $0.348.

I have a friend who has been relying on this same guy “medic” for his information and medic has not been right yet. I agree that people should not make statements about the RV unlesss they can substanciate them. We all want the RV to happen soon. God Bless

As of this morning, it looks like the oil lease auction went off pretty well. This is pretty important news as it now allows Iraq to have peace of mind knowing that they are moving forward as a player in the world economy. Now, if someone suggest that the RV is imminent, it would make sense. Doesn’t matter how many contracts they signed, if their currency is practically worthless, the people are still hurting and the country is going nowhere. Don’t be surprised if great news hits the street very, very, soon. Might be time for alot of people to start getting their ducks in order. Friendly suggestion: When it hits, celebrate, relax, take some time away and just think about what you wanna do with it, and after the 1st of the year, implement your strategy. Merry Christmas to all no matter what.
December 12th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Merry Christmas to you as well jj and everyone else. I hope all of your wishes come true and as we enter the new year with only 20 days or so away, that this new year brings blessings to you and your families. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

I have a good charity to put money in . . . Its called “Bubbas beer fund”
Its a good cause and it makes the women he dates look better.
Its located in North Central Florida.You are going to have to get some “mud grip tires” to get there.
This guy SFMedic lives with his Mother, has a GIJoe collection. The closest he has gotten to the Spiecal Forces is on PS2.
He ain’t no good, I feel he works for one of the
Dinar brokers and gets a kick back for saying some of the dumb sh#% .
Sorry about that , I had to stop a min. and smoke a cigarette and calm down.
On a third note . . . anyone know a nice girl that can cook, that wants to settle down with a Dinar million aer (cant spell) that looks like Larry the cable guy?
December 17th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
ok bubba, lets not be selfish, what about my beer fund! theres nothing like a cold bud lite in a glass bottle. lets just make sure we do it in moderation so we don’t miss the rv, wouldn’t want you to miss out wile you are passed out!
