Dave  butterfly Received about 7-8K......could have received more if i asked....

Dave  my Kids kids will be paying for that

butterfly  Dave that is truly amazing. Here we want to take care of the wealthy, who don't need another fricking dime, but we must take care of them.

butterfly  Dave You have been paying for that threw your taxes as we have here in the US.

butterfly  If we peons did not pay taxes, we would not have a government as it is with every country.

butterfly  In Iraq they could do the same, but the wealthy must be taken care of first......put the peons on the lower level of consideration.

Dave  butterfly Iraqs politicians...richest on the Earth

butterfly  BINGO

Dave  "Where did they get tHAT"?

Dave  OLD QUESTION......

butterfly  I use to play/fly/meet/etc with the wealthy. To be honest I would prefer to be with the not wealthy. Not my bag of people.

Dave  butterfly Very wEALTHY people i know care of 1 thing.....More wealth?

Dave  Create a legacy i suppose.......

butterfly  sheila As my d-n-l says to this day, she is a remarkable blessing for me but I will say up front, you do not want to p#ss her off because she has a way of putting you in your place. I laugh every time I hear her say that because I have no clue what she means.

butterfly  I don't yell, I use words..............WORDS MATTER.

Sheila butterfly I know what she means.

Sheila  butterfly Power of the Spoken Word by Florence Scovil Shinn... god stuff, karma, vibrational backlash, whatever you want to call it... yes, WORDS MATTER -- agree wholeheartedly, period.

Sheila  Courtesy of DinarGuru.com: 3-30-2021 Newshound/Intel Guru Petra ...Are we excited on where we are at??? ABSOLUTELY!!! We do mine the articles for validation of accuracy and continued process towards the RI and there have been many for sure. The key for everybody to understand is the need for DISCERNMENT as to what is real...and...the Dog and Pony show.

So accurate a metaphor for where we are right now as we await the CBI to make the change. ...question: How many contrary articles have you seen in the last 7-10 days. I would say..a lot!! ...we are most excited but...what the media is doing in Iraq because...just tells us they are looking for headlines while the real "minds and hearts" of Iraq are focused on getting to the end game of the RI for...Iraq.

So, chin up...the game is definitely afoot and I am excited to see what the "near proximal" future has to show us as we await the CBI, AND ONLY, the CBI to make their move...

Sheila  Zig I do not look entirely at the Messenger and dismiss nor accept everything they state. Look at what is being said. Petra is correct about all the negative articles coming out the past couple of weeks about Iraq voting on Budget.

Sheila  Zig And I couple that with what I am now hearing from my one and only bank source then I am pleasantly cautious about believing Petra's post provided above.

butterfly  sheila They have done this every year........every year!

Sheila  butterfly How many years since Iraq's Dinar was devalued in the war?

See this content in the original post

butterfly  sheila Please do not misunderstand what I am about to post. Seck has a personal banker, etc. every time he would go in and he would request information...............NOTHING has changed even back then.

Sheila  butterfly How many years? Has it been since 2003?

butterfly  Back then it was the same information posted in dinar world........and he would check.....NADA, ZILCH, ETC.

butterfly  Girl I can't remember the dates, years, this old mind can only handle what she is going to do a day at a time. BUT as I remember it is the same "stuff" that was posted back then is being posted now. As he found out from the IMF, it is up to each Central Bank of each country about the currency.

Sheila  butterfly 2003?

Zig  sheila : I do admire your OPTIMISM LOL

Sheila  Zig Yes, optimism. Mostly about contracts. Read somewhere in all this stuff, that if it's been 17 years, Iraq may be coming up on limit for Municipal/Government Bankruptcy time allowed. 2021 would be the year to see them at least get back to being an International Traded Currency on FOREX? Maybe?

 https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/American-Heritage-excludes-Iraq-from-the-Index-of-Economic-Freedom-ranking  

2021-03-30 09:48   Shafaq News/ The American Heritage Foundation that measures the level of economic freedom in countries around the world announced that Iraq is not ranked in the 2021 index.

According to the report published by the foundation, “six countries out of 179 including Iraq, did not have any rank in the global economic freedom”, these countries are Iraq, Libya, Liechtenstein, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen.

Singapore’s economic freedom score is 89.7, making its economy the freest, followed by New Zealand, which scored 83.9, then Australia ranked third, scoring 82.4, and Switzerland ranked fourth, scoring 81.9

The United Arab Emirates ranked first in the Arab World and 14th globally, followed by Qatar as the second and 31st globally, scoring 72. Bahrain ranked third and 40th globally, scoring 69.9, and Jordan ranked fourth and 64th globally, scoring 64.6

The Index measures 12 specific components of economic freedom, focusing on four critical aspects of the economic environment, each of which is graded on a scale from 0 to 100 and averaged to determine the score of the country: the rule of law (property rights, judicial effectiveness, government integrity), government size (tax burden, government spending, fiscal health), regulatory efficiency (business and labor freedom) and open markets (trade freedom, investment freedom, financial freedom)

The index of economic freedom focuses on an individual’s freedom in working, consuming, and investing without any restrictions.

If poverty, disease, and ignorance are declining in all regions, it is primarily due to the widespread adoption of more advanced and transparent economic policies.

butterfly  This was reported back in February:...... https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Iraqi-Oil-Minister-80-US-barrel-would-help-Iraq-meet-the-budget-s-expenditures

Iraqi Oil Minister: $ 80 US/barrel would help Iraq meet the budget's expenditures 2021-02-07 01:32

Shafaq News / Iraqi Minister of Oil, Ihssan Abdul-Jabbar, considered setting a price of 80$ US/oil barrel suitable for Iraq to meet the federal budget's expenditures.

Abdul-Jabbar said in an interview with Shafaq News agency, "Iraq will export in 2021 about one billion and 100 million barrels of crude oil according to market data. The budget needs 140 trillion dinars", adding, "the price of $ 80 a barrel is the right price to make Iraq can pay the budget dues."

He pointed out "the price of $ 80 is impossible to reach in the current year."

See this content in the original post

Iraq is under great pressure under the weight of the worst economic crisis it has witnessed since 2003, due to the low oil prices and the outbreak of COVID-19.

However, the minister explained that the price of one barrel would reach 60$ in the first quarter of this year, while in the third quarter, if the vaccine is available worldwide, the price per barrel will reach between 62 and 63 dollars."

Iraq was forced to reduce the value of the local currency against hard currencies, especially the US dollar, to provide the salaries that it paid in the fourth quarter of 2020 through the fiscal deficit law approved by Parliament.

The Iraqi government is struggling to secure employee salaries and other operating expenses due to the collapse in oil prices caused by the pandemic, which has crippled large sectors of the world economy. The country relies on revenues from selling crude to finance more than 90% of state expenditures.
