DAVEP POST - Dinar Vets 1/21/10

The person who convinced me to invest in dinars is a "quasi" expert on Iraq. He told me today, his opinion of course, Shabibi has adjusted the exchange rate every year for the last 5 years, last year on Jan 17. He will adjust the exchange rate again. This adjsutment will be in the next few days...probably before the end of the month... so ..will he adjust it the standard 10-15% he has done the last 5 years....according to my friend, probably not...due to budget concerns, and other issues discussed in this forum, an exchange rate adjustment is not strong enough for the situation as it exists today. An RV is necessary...somewhere in the $`1-$1.50 range...now...this is one man's opinion who has insight and information concerning the issues...however...it is no more valuable than perhaps yours....but I trust his judgement.

FED TO END OVERSEAS DOLLAR 'SWAPS'

JANUARY 21, 2010, 2:47 P.M. ET.
By JON HILSENRATH


The Federal Reserve is on track to end a program, begun during the financial crisis, that provides U.S. dollars to institutions overseas through foreign central banks.

In the depths of the crisis, the Fed shipped more than $500 billion overseas through arrangements with other central banks, in exchange for their currencies. Such lending is down sharply and officials expect to end the program according to plan on Feb. 1.

As of January 13, the Fed held $5.9 billion in dollar "swap" agreements with foreign central banks, down from $63 billion in early September and $583 billion in late December 2008 as the financial crisis was worsening.

Before the crisis, many foreign financial institutions depended on short-term money markets to borrow dollars to fund their holdings of U.S. dollar assets, like mortgage-backed securities. These markets froze when the crisis hit and many foreign banks and investors found themselves short of the dollars they needed to finance their holdings.

The central banks stepped in, with the Fed offering dollars to foreign central banks like the Bank of England and the European Central Bank, which in turn lent dollars to financial institutions in their local markets. The move helped to stem the credit-market panic.

The Fed said in December it was "working with its central bank counterparties to close its temporary liquidity-swap arrangements by February 1." With the Fed's next policy meeting coming on Tuesday, Jan. 26th, and Wednesday, Jan. 27th, it is likely to formally announce plans to shut the program down.

FRANK26 POST - KTF Missions 1/21/10

I am different with my intel ……….because of what happened last Monday and I tried to explain it the four days prior to this past Monday. I kept drilling the point daily that on the 18th they would fulfill the one year requirement of keeping their currency stable without any fluctuation, burp, hiccup whatsoever and they did it! What happens when you graduate from school……….they give you your diploma. Iraq graduated from the school of hard knocks in financing this past Monday……….and IMO………they received their diploma of CH7. That opens a completely different set of events to unfold. Now you may say to yourself Frank………where’s the link to prove that such documents have been signed sealed and lifted? Silly rabbit……….you know better than to ask me that……….just wait a few days and you will see what I am talking about. It is my history. It is what has caused KTFM to be successful in the way we share intel. An exodus of dinar information seekers have come in our direction. I get communications of all forms from some of the most amazing people on this planet. When I told you to pray for John Hillerman, who played Higgins on Magnum PI, last week………..I was very sincere. So I carry a great responsibility on how I share intel because there are so many out there that have gravitated to our forum. They say that silence is golden ……….does not my silence give you a feeling of something golden soon to come? Regardless of how I share my intel with you Family………..I have noticed how you old timers that have been with me from the very beginning are not letting the thousands of newbies in the recent weeks fall to the side. I am made aware of the pm’s that you are exchanging with each other to keep them up to date. When they laugh at me at other forums for my style…….most of you simply smile. Last night I had so much fun with all of you. When I told you I had to leave at 11:30pm I was touched by the response. Truly we had a wonderful time playing with numbers. IMO……..enough time has gone by and I am ready to take you to my blue couch. The following actually happened today. But it was on my blue couch.



Ring ……..ring.

Yes this is Frank……..can I help you?

Frank this is xxxxx ………..I’m outside in my car because I had to swing by 5th/3rd and since I was in your neighborhood I was wondering if I could come in and talk to you for a little bit?

Greetings good friend…………you’re outside? In my parking lot?

Yes I’m really sorry but I was wondering if I could talk to you about what Obama did at noon today.

Yes of course you can come in.

Knock, knock.

Hi …….come on in. Please take your shoes off and sit with me on my couch. I know what you are talking about and I actually saw O today on CNBC. Actually he was on all of the stations at noon today. Why are you so troubled about it?

*%#@^&………..O!

Whoa…….wait a minute………chill. I did not vote for O but you must learn to respect his office. It is a position that all Americans should respect. But why are you so mad at what he said today on tv?

Frank while the man was up there explaining at his news conference that he was changing policies that banks use ………half of the screen was showing that every stock across the board was plummeting downward. One stock after another was being shown with arrows pointing down. His statement to change how banks are going to have to run their business…….scared Wall Street! It scared me too.

Friend………it scared you because you have stock in the market. But did you listen to what he was telling the banks of the US?

Well…….at first I was…………..but all I kept seeing where the charts on the left side of his head so I stopped listening to him and started counting my portfolio.

Do you like green tea? This is my favorite………..it has little pieces of popcorn in it……….tastes so good. You want some?

WHAT?!

I’m going to answer your question ……..but I need you to relax first and take a deep breath. Now take a sip of this and listen to me. You have dinars don’t you?

Well of course I do……..you know I do!

Then you should know better friend. You reacted impulsively to what O said ………..because of what you saw. Now stop and think ……..remember when he said he does not want the banking system to carelessly spend their profits? How he doesn’t want them to recklessly use their investments? He especially doesn’t want them to pay out those ridiculous and selfish bonuses to their executives. He wants them to have a better accountability of their money and big brother is going to watch them a little closer which temporarily caused Wall Street to take notice and react with their buying and selling. Wall Street’s actions to what O said this afternoon are merely reflexive not permanent. Now here is the big key my dear friend that you and so many other financially struggling people missed. IMO……..the banking industry in a matter of weeks will be …………..dealing with many customers that are going to exchange their IQD’s . These banking institutions are going to make a serious amount of money via the spread. Can you imagine if the same freedom that devastated the banking industry last year was allowed to run rampant once they got a hold of these profits? IMO………..O……..is in the right place to know what is about to happen to the IQD and he wants to limit banks from doing something stupid again this time around.

That’s good Frank.

Aaaah………but let me ask you ……….is the tea good?

LOL…………yes it sure is. Can I ask you another question?

Can you refrain from not asking?

LOL………I could but I would rather not.

Then ask dear friend.

You changed your style ever since last Monday. You and I have been friends for many years ………..isn’t there anything you can share with me that you won’t share with others on your forum?

If I had dinar …………….for every time I heard that.

I’m sorry………..I better go.

Not until you are done ………with your second cup as I share with you. Try to understand that there are things right now that are none of our business and we really shouldn’t be talking about it. Isn’t it enough for me to tell you that on the 18th ……….this past Monday ……….Iraq graduated in all qualifications to lift CH7. If it were true ………then I would be silent wouldn’t I? I would encourage you to stay in constant prayer………wouldn’t I?

Well ……….that’s exactly what you did since last Monday.

Do you need to be told more?

You go by faith Frank…….I go by links.

Calm down. Have you not noticed that all I have given you since Monday is nothing but articles? Tell me good friend what else can I tell you?

I want to know what your team is telling you.

Things that if I shared with you……….would only prove how stupid I am. These are very, very sensitive times. I like telling stories……….would you like one that’s almost 48 hrs old?

Heck yes!

Last night a soldier called me that now resides in the states. He told me that his pastor had just called him 5 minutes ago to give him intel. Keep in mind that this pastor was a 1st Sergeant in the Army at one time. My soldier ………upon returning from Iraq……..gave his pastor, last year, $600,000 dinars and told him to hold on to them and pray. This pastor was accompanying another pastor friend of his to have supper at a couple’s home that are part of his congregation. While the two pastors and the couple were having supper a phone call came to the lady of the house from Iraq. It was her cousin. Her cousin ………….is a
Colonel! He knows she has dinars and rarely calls if ever. He told his cousin that he had some special info to share with her and her husband. He gave her a date and a rate. (actually …..I gave you the date in yesterday’s posting within my words I believe in the second to the last paragraph but everyone seemed to have missed it.) Of course she became emotional and the husband inquired about the facts. The husband and the two pastors sit at the dinner table listening to the conversation on the telephone…………with the Colonel. When the call ended………my soldier’s pastor makes it known to everyone else in the room that he possess dinars. Needless to say……….there was great jubilation. The only one that didn’t possess any was the couple’s pastor. I would venture to guess ……….that he has some by now.


WOW!!! That’s a great story.

Yes……….it is isn’t it? But I’m not done. Do you want to hear more of the story?

Yeah……..I mean ……….yes Sir.

Hmmm………..politeness………….I like that. This morning my soldier calls me to update me on this story full of intel. He said that his pastor, who still has military connections………..received 4 phone calls that evening into the early morning hours from Iraq. He still keeps in contact and each one of them felt like a hammer hitting a nail deeper into the wood. Each call repeated what the Colonel had told his cousin.

Thank God……….is there more to this story?

Oh yes………..but that’s suffice.

So what’s the rate and the date?

Go to my postings as I was having fun with the Family last night……….and you will find the area code. Clue : minus 2 pennies.

Man you never give a straight answer do you?

No………because many try to follow me.

Well can you tell me the date?

Funny how people can accept an area code with little repercussion but to give a date………has a tendency to seem sacrilegious at times. When I give an open window of opportunity as intel to be taken to the Lord in prayer……….one or two would rather throw me out that window. But if I tell you that I find great interest from the 29th to the 6th of February would that satisfy you? A week is a week…….is a week.

What in the world does that mean?

You bought your dinars from Ali didn’t you?

Yes most of them why?

Do you know that Ali has a bank in Iraq and all the paperwork for it is done? You will soon be able to deposit your money into any bank you wish when you exchange with him and that includes his new bank. Clue: why is there no open sign in his bank if all the paperwork is done and he can officially open?

I have no idea………why?

IMO………there is no need to turn the overhead on right now. But the nano second that you see the sign flipped over from closed to open at his bank……….IMO………we are inches away from the announcement.

Hey! That’s interesting.

Hey! You want some more tea?

Can I just ask you one more question?

If you do I will never share my tea with you again. Don’t push it. LOL.

Oh……..okay. It was wonderful visiting with you. Thank you Frank.

It was my pleasure ………to fill your cup of tea.

CBI - IRAQ IS A LAW OF ELECTRONIC BANKING

Source: Dar Al-Hayat - 21/01/2010
«Central» Iraq is a law of electronic banking


The Director-General of the unity of the banking and credit of the Central Bank of Iraq and Idi Walid Abdul-Hussein said in a statement to the «life», the central bank is a law of electronic banking, and submitted to the State Advisory Council for discussion and approval, in addition to preparing a new system of payments helps to provide advanced banking services, referring to the topic to facilitate handling of the provisions of Article 28 of the Banking Act which identified some activities are not allowed for private banks, and try to correct them to serve the Iraqi economy and banks.

KAPERONI POST - Dinar Vets

Kaperoni's assessment to a RV.... Ok..today I wanted to get some factual information leading for or against a currency RV. Much of this is already known but is nice to have it listed. By RV'ing, Iraq can have an International tradable currency with buying power. In order to achieve this, they must follow some IMF guidelines. Not necessarily in order...

- DDSS provides the dissemination of information of international banking information. A requirement. (Started back in Nov, 2009)

- Iraqi poverty program, announced last week

- Visit from the World bank - yesterday

- Upgrading banking connectivity - much of it done

- Reuters' deal (may or may not be a factor)

- Fixed rate for a year..completed. IMF site now states Iraq exchange rate is NOT fixed. Read it somewhere in these docs...http://dsbb.imf.org/Applications/web...strcode=IRQ#AB

- Implementation of a ERM Exchange Rate Mechanism (thanks SBX for your hard work). According to media, this is done or in the works.

These all add up to the fact that the CBI has done what is needed to take the Dinar international. In my opinion, they are close or done completing those requirements. This may not be all of the IMF requirements. This though does not mean they will RV today or tomorrow, or a month from now. In my opinion, the RV is now a political thing. It may be an election event, or it may be decided based on the new poverty program results 6 months from now, or the signing of the HCL (Hydro Carbon Law). In any event, I think the CBI is doing there part.

I would like help with this project. The next part is find out what it takes to bring a currency online and international. Be it via FOREX or not. It is just a party? What work must be done to make it available internationally and traded/exchanged? Apparently the CFTC overseas currency investing and they may have the answers

ALI SENDS MESSAGE: LISTEN UP...

Neno Today, 04:57 PM

... Just got informed by Ali as he wanted all to know that he checked into a guy going by the name of Jerry Brew mer-(?????) or something to that tune, that is reaching to dinar holders and telling them he can beat Ali's rate with buying your dinar now for .75 and says he is in a office in California.

Ali was alerted of this as I am sure by a investor with great concern. Ali decided to contact a Friend in that area that went over to check out this place and was told by a landlord that he hasn't been around in a few days. The guy is asking that you make photo copies of your dinar and then send him the dinar.

First, Ali has no rate as the CBI is the only rate. Ali went another step further to find out about this guy and got some info on the dude out of Maryland, that he has been apart of three other scams done to people. So beware.

Look folks, you have to use good judgment and if you do not know something, ask someone. prefer if it is to do with a mentioning that "Ali Said", as this guy is saying, are anything to do with "Dinar Trade", which a BIG NAME to swindle folks when using, that you come to the board or call Dinar Trade to find out.

Ali, I are any other good citizen do not want to see you fall for a SCAM but, it is your fault if you do. So that is the best play we can provide is to go to the Horse. I am ask to make this available to all as we can not investigate everything and really do not have the time to do one. So if you would just call first before every doing anything, you will get the Truth if, it has a association to Dinar Trade.

This was just a friendly gesture to all passed on from the Man..

MACATTACK POST - Dinar Vets 1/21/10

RV, is this for real?

First of all I am not an authority on the IQD, just a blue collar worker that was fortunate enough to get the honor to work along side the men and women of our great military.

In 2003 & 2004, I worked with K.B.R (Kellogg Brown & Root) in Iraq and Kuwait. I remember when we landed in Kuwait City airport I bought a combo meal from Burger King and it cost me almost $15usd. I was like what?? Therefore, I seen how strong the dinar was in Kuwait and later learned how it came to be.

With that in the back of my mind, I remember two very special occasions that happen while I was in Iraq, One was when we caught Saddam Hussein; they did party like it was 1999. One of the Iraqis told me it was their Christmas and that he would give his eyes to George Bush.

The other was the day that they took the old currency out of circulation and brought in the new. I need to let you know that where I was at was a new base, no TV, no internet, one or two cell phones was all that we had. You may ask why is this important or why do I care, well here is the thing. I didn’t have pumpers trying to sell me dinar, the Iraqis was so excited that I learned from them that they would not stay poor. I mean we were paying them $7usd a day to work for us. They explained to me how the new currency would revalue, would take at least five years or more.

So if you think this is a internet scam or just hype I hope that you can have a little more faith now knowing it didn’t start in some 14 year olds kids basement. Maybe that some rumors started there but hey what are you going to do, that part is just life. I laugh when someone says that they just bought dinars and that we need to be patient it is not a get rich quick over night. The people in Iraq have been waiting for a long time, so let us remember them and that the sooner this thing happens the better off they will be first. Then we can party like its 1999 all over again.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,

Information Dissemination

Wow...couldn't even log on for like a week and things sure have changed. Wish they'd change the key for the lock.

Well I had a lot of time to waste so I thought I'd post something.
Not really a rumor but don't know where else to go with it.

Here we go.

A lot of people have said a lot of things and a few have been passing that they have intel. Yet this intel never pans out.
There is a reason I always say do your research and pay attention.

People read US newspapers thinking that the paper is going to say "Iraq Revalue Coming". It will not happen that way. You should not be looking to US news for news on Iraq. Point blank.

Things don't work the same way over there, that they do in the US and people always seem to forget this.

There was a reason I posted that ERM article. Most people ignored it even after 4 other people posted it too. But I knew someone out there would see the significance. *stardogger took it and ran with it. *stardogger has an excellent post on the matter if people care to go look. Exchange Rate Mechanism does mean something.

Back to the people with "intel". Pay attention to what they say. They always blow in like a hurricane...and nothing happens. Pay attention to the guys who talk a lot but have nothing to back it up or if they don't know about major holidays in Iraq which are marked on all calendars. They take what news is out there and just regurgitate it in their own words. Or you have people who say they cashed in with Kuwait and don't know the value. Think about who you listen to.

There was a reason I posted a bunch of dates which made sense for a revalue and the next is January 23rd. I'm sure some people have already said it's going to happen and they have intel and whatever else. It's not intel. The GCC is supposed to be January 23rd and most think Iraq will be a part of it or revalue at the same time.

Iraq has come a long way in the past few months which leads to guesses, etc. Guesses are guesses but when someone says intel and they can't back it up or they're always wrong. Why do you still listen to them?

I made a guess of January 7th and backed it up. I listed a few possible other dates and backed it up. Didn’t happen but they were educated guesses and not “intel”. I have a guy who is high up in Wells Fargo and he says NOTHING. Like most of the other people in his position would. They could lose their jobs, etc.

Do your research, save yourself some headaches.

There are many breadcrumbs out there for you to follow. So why follow those who just want attention but provide nothing in return except lies.

Newest breadcrumb coming up. Budget should be coming very soon. GCC this weekend. Oil deals being closed and okayed. There is reason to believe it’s coming but it’s not coming because of intel. If those people knew it was coming then there would be more people buying them up.

The only intel most people have is in their computers.

All that crap intel also said it happened but wasn’t released. Or they tried to blame Obama for Iraq not revaluing. Just pay attention and follow along, weed out the ridiculous nonsense.

There are a lot of people out there ready to believe everything but you have to remember it’s an investment and not one like any other before it. But if you follow the breadcrumbs it looks incredibly close. But it could also be far away and you have to be prepared for that too.

Don’t spend your kids lunch money, the rent money or anything like that unless you know 100% that you can afford it. Do NOT take out loans or anything like that just for dinars.

Like Public Enemy said…don’t don’t don’t believe the hype.
