"Hurry Up and Wait" by Dr. Dinar 9-8-2020

Hurry Up And Wait by Dr. Dinar

You'd think I'd be better at this thing.

And by "thing" I'm referring to this seemingly endless waiting game known as the RV/GCR

Heck, right from the very beginning we've been waiting.

Started off waiting in some wonky dark bubble of some kind.

Finally, after 9 long months, thinking the wait was over, we began to see what we thought was the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sheesh, get us out of this Waiting Room.

We're ready to rock this world!

Unfortunately, as we'd come to find out, there was much more waiting ahead.

Waiting for someone to hold us.

To feed us.

Someone to do whatever else it was we felt needed doing that for some reason or another we hadn't quite yet figured out how to do ourselves.

And so we waited.

And waited some more.

Not much seemed to be happening as far as speeding up the waiting process so we began throwing in a tantrum or two, simply to turn things up a notch.

Sure, we also threw in a bunch of whining as well, for dramatic effect.

Really added to the heightened sense of urgency.

Or so we thought, anyway.

After all, what did we have to lose.

It wasn't like they were gonna put us back in that wonky bubble, right!?!

Amazingly enough, occasionally all of our screaming, crying, and whining actually worked.

We got what we wanted.

Other times, not so much.

So when it comes to waiting, although we don't enjoy it, after a lifetime of perfecting our waiting skills we've pretty much become experts at it.

As time passed, we moved from turtle on its back status to terror on the floor tile mode and everything escalated from there.

We were in essence mobile and that was a complete gamechanger.

No longer were we being held back by our physical limitations.

Suddenly we could scream and shout as well as twist it all about.

And did we ever take advantage of it.

To the point of being such a huge distraction on all levels that they were forced to up their game in accordance.

Hence, our introduction to the Rumor Mill.

All brought to us courtesy of a colorful cast of characters that lived in a box in the family room.

From morning to night, 7 days a week, these fine folks told us everything we ever wanted to know about life.

About reality.

Well, reality from their perspective anyway.

Who were we to say they were wrong.

Who were we to say anything.

At that point, we were pretty much speechless. Literally.

They all seemed so convincing, even if we weren't quite convinced they were real.

After all, most of us had cats & dogs at home and so we knew they were real.

Yet, for some unknown reason, none of them ever took the time to talk to us.

Yeah, they made the occasional weird noise here 'n there but it only seemed to happen when they wanted food.

Or attention.

Come to think of it, I'm beginning to see a pattern there.

Anyway, the one's in the box spent the time to give us the full scoop on everything that was going on.

So it was probably best to listen to them and forget the one's at home.

They obviously had an agenda.

The one's at home only wanted us for food.

We knew it.

They knew it.

Their gig was up.

As time passed, we began to reach new heights, which enabled us a better perspective with which to view the world.

Once again, in an effort to contend with our new & improved viewpoint, they were forced to up their game, reaching new levels of creativity.

Enter fine folks like the Tooth Fairy and Santa Clause and who knows who else in between.

None of them visible, much less verifiable, but believe in them we did.

And as I recall it didn't take a whole lot to get us to believe those stories.

Was it because they came with a built in bribe, a reward of sorts, as proof that they existed?

Perhaps.

I mean, if they didn't exist, how else did those quarters end up under our pillow.

Even better yet, what about all those presents under the Christmas tree.

Who do you think could've managed that.

All overnight, no less.

That was no dream, although it sure felt like it.

And that went on for years.

At least until we were about 7 or 8 years old.

That was about the time we began to notice the first inklings of disinfo floating around the classroom.

Rumors that, not only were they confusing, but they were extremely disappointing as well.

What do you mean the Tooth Fairy isn't real!

Who's gonna make up a story like that.

And if they did make it up, what would be the reason behind it.

Why would they want us to believe in something that wasn't true.

Next thing you know, it was the Easter Bunny.

Say it ain't so.

I mean, some of us have actually seen him in real life.

Even had our photo taken with him.

There's no way he's not real.

And then they really dropped a bombshell on us.

Yep, the jolly guy in the big red suit... was a fraud.

Mind blown.

Almost from day one I'd gone to the Mall to visit with him, convince him of just how nice I'd been, drop off my Must Have list, and go home and wait for that oh so special day.

That's one guy I knew for certain was real.

Now, did I ever actually see him slide down the chimney?

Ummm, that would be a no.

Did I ever see him place all the presents under the tree?

Again, that would be a no.

But how could I.

I was too busy sleeping because I was told that if I went to bed early, I could get up early and open up the presents he'd dropped off overnight.

Made total sense.

And I wasn't about to risk it by testing their story.

I knew that somewhere between the socks, sweaters and underwear was bound to be at least one, if not two things that were actually on my list.

But eventually the rumors became impossible to ignore.

To the point where I finally had to give in.

Sure enough, Santa Clause wasn't real.

Santa was a rumor.

He was a big piece of a huge disinfo campaign, sent to me by the very same people I was supposed to trust the most in life.

Looking back, I guess I can see why they did it.

Their goal was to keep hope alive.

To help us have faith in the unseen.

To believe in better days ahead.

Fast forward to today and it seems as if we're living in the very same scenario.

We're running on rumors, misinfo and disinfo.

We've been down this road a time or two.

We should be experts at this by now.

And at the end of the day, we are.

The hard part is in having the patience to hang in there and remember that.

That's the one life lesson that we never truly master, regardless of how many times we're tested.

We have to know in our hearts that it's a process.

A process that's been in process, in the process of processing, for longer than any process has any right to process processing.

And thankfully, we also know that somewhere along in the world's slowest ongoing process, they will begin to process our exchanges.

And I hope you continue to hang in there until the process reaches our level of processing.

That will make all of this seemingly forever of waiting all worthwhile.

Remember, we were raised on rumors.

We're experts.

We got this!

Kindly,

Dr. Dinar

Whatever Floats Your Boat by Dr. Dinar

8-30-2020

So, here we are, nearing the end of June, summer just starting and... oh wait, hang on a second, this is July.

What!?! No, it's the end of August.

Almost Labor Day weekend.

The "unofficial" end of summer.

How can that be!?!

What happened to June & July?

What about all those promises of never getting to summer without seeing the release of the GCR.?

Yet here we sit, nearing the end of another summer, and still no sign of the release being released.

Not yet anyway.

How could we have floated right through an entire season and seemingly gotten nowhere.

That's quite a bit of water under the bridge.

More than too much to swallow.

Apparently I'm drowning in Dinarland and due to a severe lack of oxygen, I've been too lightheaded to even realize it.

Am I focusing too much on the RV/GCR?

Possibly. Okay, maybably. Yeah, probably.

But then again, who's to say how much is too much.

I have a few family members & friends that, for better or worse, decided to take the plunge when I first mentioned this whole RV thing but not one of them have signed up for the three hour tour to the depth that I have.

Matter of fact, while some decided to jump ship, most have chosen to remain onboard, simply choosing to tune out.

Deciding to wait for me to send the disembark signal.

Letting them know that the coast is clear, the seagull has sung, and that it's finally time to leave their bunk.

And while I sometimes struggle with it, wondering how they can remain so tuned out to the whole thing, on the other hand, I often find myself admiring their passive perspective.

Envious of their ability to just let it slide.

Somehow they're able to put the whole RV/GCR thing over in the whatever happens... whenever it happens pile and forget about it.

Living their lives as if the GCR doesn't exist.

Then there's me.

Continually working towards my GCR PHD.

Full on immersed in this thing.

Wetsuit, tanks, weight belt, mask, snorkel, big ol' swim fins, Fauxlex dive watch, you name it.

If it's GCR related, I'm wearin' it.

Without a doubt, I'm in deep, in it to win it.

I simply can't help it, needing to be as educated as possible about this whole thing.

Not only because I want to be prepared to the Nth degree for my exchange appointment but I'm one of those people that likes to know what makes things tick.

How they work behind the scenes.

What makes them "go".

Or in this case, not go.

Deeply digging for the nuggets of truth that are floating out there somewhere.

Unfortunately, the closer we get (and in spite of all we can't see, I firmly believe we are getting closer with every passing day), it's getting increasingly more and more difficult to find much of anything we can firmly rely on as being factual.

Now, is that because I've heard it all a thousand times over the past decade plus.

Or is it more because there is no visible proof of any of it actually happening.

That's a question that, despite his amazing depth of knowledge of all things going on below the surface, even the great Jacques Cousteau would have had trouble answering.

And that got me to thinking.

You know that feeling you get as you're floating in a lake, down a river, out in the ocean, anywhere where you're floating on top of the water?

Well, you're well aware there are lots of things going on under the surface.

None of which you can see.

Most of which you don't really want to know about, yet you know they're going on anyway.

Perhaps this RV/GCR thing is the very same way.

Maybe all those things we constantly hear about, things that are rumored to be happening behind the scenes, really are going on.

The water being far too murky for us to see them.

It isn't until we approach the shore, jumping ship as it were, that our feet touch bottom.

And it's at that exact moment we instantly realize that there truly are things going on under the surface.

Gooey, gushy things that instantly send a super squirmy feeling up our spines.

As those things come oozing out from under our feet and in between our toes, the reality of what's happening down below becomes impossible to ignore.

Which in turn speeds up our pace, as well as our heart rate, causing us to quicken our pace as we quickly speed to shore.

And that is what I hope is happening with the whole RV/GCR thing.

I'm hoping that the closer we get to the release, the closer they are to dealing with the last of the squishy stuff between their toes and they're nearing the eelgrass on the very edge of the release.

If they're still stuck in the squishy stuff, let's hope that's enough to freak 'em out and cause them to pick up the pace.

The one thing we do know is that we're all in this together, heading downstream towards the shore.

Just continue to do whatever it is you need to do to keep your boat afloat and don't allow anyone to poke a hole in your dreams.

I'm not giving up the ship anytime soon and I certainly hope you won't either.

Kindly,

Dr. Dinar

Personal Note: *I'd also like to send a special Thank You to "CH" for taking the time to send a wonderful bit of inspiration my way. While I must admit my posts do help me in being able to vent a little (hopefully in a humorous way that others can relate to), my main goal is to help others see that they're not alone on this far too excruciatingly slow and exceedingly long, needlessly drawn out journey. And that we all struggle a bit from time to time. But in the end, we'll all reach the shore as one.

"Welcome to the Hotel Dinarland" by Dr. Dinar 8-24-2020

Thank you Dr. Dinar

Welcome To The Hotel Dinarland  by Dr. Dinar

There it sits, like a giant used car lot spotlight shining in the sky. October 1, 2020.

The start of yet another fiscal year.

Okay, so theoretically we're still another month away from the actual new fiscal year start date.

But with the way this year has been going so far, I won't be the least bit surprised to discover they have somehow managed to quarantine the current fiscal year prior to its scheduled closing date, thereby nullifying until further notice any and all upcoming dates of note.

Looking back, it's likely been a decade or more of these fiscal fiascos in the books for me.

But at this point, who's counting.

Well, come to think of it, probably somewhere in the neighborhood of about 5 million or so people are counting.

After all, when you've been held captive in this ludicrous lockdown for the past 6 months, chances are you long ago ran out of sheep to count.

Will this "has to happen by" date be blown by like all the rest?

Another date that's been rumored to be the perfect day for the release of the RV/GCR.

Oh, and don't they have to announce the new budget prior to that date as well.

Talk about pressure.

Honestly, in all the years I've been involved in this RV/GCR shindig, they have yet to show any urgency to the release of the budget, either here or in Iraq, and I don't foresee that changing any time soon.

Which leads me to believe that the rumor of any fiscal year end/start date having anything whatsoever to do with the timing of the release of the RV/GCR is yet another Dinarland fabrication.

Nope, might as well put it in the same "Move along, nothin' to see here" category as all the other blown-by Budgets, Calender cancellations, Blue Moons, Numerical No-Shows and all the other craziness that has been rumored to be THE scheduled release date.

Makes one wonder if there is an actual scheduled release date of any sort on the books.

To be honest, I'm of the opinion that no one has this thing worked out.

Least of all the people rumored to be working on getting this thing worked out.

Meaning, there is no playbook for this "game".

No ready-made recipe for the "how", "what", "where" and "when" of it all.

Hence the very reason that no one, certainly not at our level, can figure this thing out.

Guru's included.

How can anyone be expected to have the answer to a question that even those that are supposedly working diligently to achieve completion have no hope of answering.

As much as I hate to say it, it's a process.

A process that is in the process of processin.

And until that process reaches the point where the process has completed all the necessary processing, thereby reaching the completion of the processing process, no one will be able to process their exchange.

Not the Private's, nor the John Q. Public's, Tiers 1 thru 100, likely none will be made liquid prior to the completion of the processing process.

Any thoughts you ever had of a double-scooping of dinar have been rendered null and void.

I don't know about you, but that kinda drives me up the wall.

I'm a planner, a scheduler.

I wanna know what my next move is going to be, long before I've finished making my last move.

I take huge pride in my preparation skills.

But how can one even begin to prepare for a future something when you have absolutely no idea what it is you're preparing for.

Yes, I still believe this RV/GCR will eventually happen.

Of that I've never wavered.

It's the "when" that has me pulling out what's left of my hair.

Has the thought of selling out and running away from this Dramafest ever occurred to me?

And by that do you mean more than ten times a day?

Why yes, as a matter of fact, it has.

On more than a few occasions no less.

However, similar to the Hotel California (made famous by Don Henley and The Eagles), the last thing I remember I was running for the door.

Desperate to find the passage back to the place I was before I was informed of this "too good to be true, two week maximum timeline" endeavor.

Suddenly, off in the distance, I caught a glimpse of a Broker chillaxin' in an Adirondack chair, selling IQD and VND out of a suitcase on the front porch of the Hotel Dinarland.

It was about that time I heard a faint "Relax, we are programmed to receive. You can check out any time you like... but you can NEVER leave!"

I don't know about you but I took that to be a sign.

A sign I couldn't ignore.

A sign that I must continue to hang in there, more than ever before.

I know this RV/GCR thing is real and I know it's going to happen.

And once it does I'll be able to help my family and friends, as well as myself and many others I've yet to meet live all of our dreams.

So I'm not "checking out" any time soon and I certainly hope you won't either.

Hang on folks, every passing day brings us closer to the finish line.

Kindly,

Dr. Dinar

Don961:  Iraqi-American Partnership .. Foreign Experience and Opportunity for Economic Advancement

Saturday 22nd August 2020

Baghdad / morning

 Experts and specialists in economic affairs considered the visit of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi to Washington a step towards creating a partnership with the largest economy in the world, by attracting giant American companies to enter the Iraqi market, while they indicated that there are attempts to use international expertise to advance the economic sectors. The visit is on the economic level, especially in light of the financial and health crises the country suffers from. 

Economist Dr. Safwan Qusay said in a statement to "Al-Sabah": Al-Kazemi's visit to Washington represents a step towards activating the partnership with the United States, which has the largest economy in the world, pointing out that there is an attempt to pressure the United States towards the process of putting Iraq on the map of global production.

 Investment of raw materials

He added that "Iraq possesses raw materials that represent a store of raw materials at the level of the globe, indicating that if the American administration can pressure its companies towards investing these raw materials, whether at the level of gas, oil, phosphates or cement, then Iraq can create resources far from Oil and diversifies its economy. "

He continued: "There is also an attempt by the Al-Kazemi government to rehabilitate the Iraqi banking sector, because this sector has been affected due to its distancing from the world by creating partnerships with international banks, stressing that this will give us reassurance for international investment who wishes to deal with an advanced banking system to come." To the local environment.

 Reducing Iraq's share in OPEC

He indicated that Al-Kazemi will also try to pressure the American administration to reduce Iraq's share in the oil cuts, Cubic Plus, indicating that (OPEC +) has pressed Iraqi production by about one million barrels, and there is an attempt, under the direction of the American administration, to the countries of the region in order to reduce the percentage of the reduction in the level of Iraqi oil. , Especially at this stage in which Iraq desperately needs revenue at the level of the federal budget.

Iraq's relations with the largest economies in the world

He went on to say: We are looking forward to future partnerships with the United States, especially that Iraq wants the economic approach to be the dominant one away from tensions in the region, stressing that this is a historic opportunity that Iraq has good relations with the largest economies of the world, which are the United States of America as well as China and the European Union. We must invest in these relationships towards re-activating all economic sectors in Iraq, whether educational, health, or the energy system.

 Iraq is an attractive environment for American companies

He pointed out that Iraq is looking to create free industrial cities. Foreign direct investment can invest in these cities, and thus increase the level of industrial stability in Iraq and financial and food stability, explaining that just the American president's reception of the Iraqi prime minister, this is a clear indication that the Americans are still betting On the political system in Iraq, and this also gives a good indication to investors and companies, that the US administration is a guarantor of stability in Iraq.

The need to get rid of the dominance of oil

For its part, a member of the Administrative Board of the Iraqi Economists Association, Dr. Ikram Abdel Aziz, in a statement to Al-Sabah: In light of the unilateral continuity, control and dominance of the crude export oil sector and in light of the deterioration of the reality of agriculture, industry and even the service sector, reform is an imperative and reform efforts are what must be adopted and pursued by specialists and technicians in this Economic matter .

And she added, that all of this collides with the reality of the financial consequences that Iraq suffers, as there is a debt crisis that has approached the risk level, and accounted for between 55 to 56 percent of the gross domestic product of the Iraqi economy.

 Inviting the giant American companies

She indicated that Al-Kazemi's visit to Washington was aimed at inviting giant companies and businessmen to enter the Iraqi market and into the field of investment, to take advantage of the technologies that they have and their capital and to progress to this country from the expertise and consultants, in order to contribute to the development and diversification of the structure of the Iraqi economy, and this is what we were aiming for. To him years ago.

And she continued: As well as focusing on the energy and electricity sectors, pointing out that the electricity sector has become a worrying concern for the Iraqi citizen in terms of instability and its consequences not only on the citizen, but on the factories and the economy in general, as for the energy sector, there may be a diversity of energy sources, Regarding gas, oil, and more.

The economic success of Al-Kazemi's visit

She indicated that Al-Kazemi met the International Monetary Fund with this fund, which deals with debts and others, indicating the country from which it borrows to follow the recommendations and proposals of the World Bank, which are binding, including restructuring the economy according to the vision of the World Bank.

Abdul Aziz confirmed that the prime minister's visit will be a servant of the economic paths whenever this visit and its results are employed by the Iraqi professional and practical experiences that may contribute to activating the axes, which Al-Kazemi intended to be in the interest of Iraq through his discussions with The Americans officials.

On Thursday 20/8/2020, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi and US President Donald Trump chaired a meeting of the Iraqi and American delegations at the White House, in which Al-Kazemi affirmed that no threat to Iraq would be allowed from any country, while Trump expressed his country's readiness to provide all forms of aid To Iraq.

The media office of the Prime Minister said in a statement: "Al-Kazemi met, at the White House, the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump." The statement added that "Al-Kazemi held a bilateral meeting with the US President, in which they discussed strengthening relations between the two countries, the situation in the region, and the many challenges that Iraq faces."link

Pimpy  ...Al-Kazemi is the man.  He didn't waste no time.  He found out exactly what they needed to do.  What they needed to get done.  Hell the man started getting things done on the way back as well.  He did not play around...this man is no joke...He went there [Washington] on a mission and he accomplished a lot IMO...What I don't want to see happen is people get immune to the good news and you become impatient.  Everything we're seeing one step at a time seems to be a great step in a positive direction...we are definitely getting there.

Mot:  Financial Planning explained by an Irishman in the Outback.

Paddy bought a camel from a farmer for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the camel the next day.

In the morning he drove up and said,
‘Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The camel’s died.’

Paddy replied, ‘Well just give me my money back then.’

The farmer said, ‘Can’t do that. I’ve already spent it.’

Paddy said, ‘OK then, just bring me the dead camel.’

The farmer asked, ‘What are you going to do with him?’

Paddy said, ‘I’m going to raffle him off.’

The farmer said, ‘You can’t raffle a dead camel!’

Paddy said, ‘Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.’

A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, ‘What happened with that dead camel?’

Paddy said, ‘I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2 each and made a profit of $898′

The farmer said, ‘Didn’t anyone complain?’

Paddy said, ‘Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2 back.’

Paddy now works for the Minister of Finance.

Dinar Dictionary

(Originally posted by Victicious at GET Forum )

For all of us on this journey I have made a dictionary of terms used in the Iraqi Dinar re-evaluation investment/speculation.

Hopium: Preferred drug of the Dinar investor producing feeling of euphoria and a general sense of well being. A typical dose last 2 days at which time a new fix must me acquired or serious withdrawal symptoms occur. Warning withdrawal symptoms can manifest in events called "bashing".

Guru: Dinar drug dealer. A person responsible for distributing the addicting drug called "hopium". The "Guru" delivers the controlled substance simply be writing what's known as a "post". This "post" must contain the term "RV" and "exchange" to give the proper dose of hopium an addict needs.

Intel: Intel is the main ingredient of the drug known as "hopium". It is collected by "Guru's" from "sources". A good example would be: A "source" (cleaning lady at the white house) over hears the president say to a staff member "I can't be late for "Dinar tomorrow" or she will kill me. She is making something special". Since the source clearly hears the words "Dinar" and "tomorrow" clearly she tells the Gurus that the president said the "Dinar" will RV "tomorrow" and hopium is created.

RV: This can be both a time or a place.

     1. Time: RV is a time where all is set right in the world. Each country in the world is given a gazziliion dollars (called "global settlement packages") and everyone lives "happily ever after". A time in which there is no evil. All trees bear fruit and the fruits are comprised of gold, silver, and precious gems.

     2. Place: Similar to what takes place after one dies. In some Dinar folklore this place is sometimes referred as "heaven like". Streets of gold, no evil exists here etc...etc. In other Dinar folklore this is a place where god is a pimp and gives all men that are Dinar holders 40 virgins. For non-folklore types this is just a place of peace where one doesn't have to work any longer and can retire and see the world and live in luxury.

Done: Any process that has been started. Example: I am going to wash my car. I have got a bucket and a rag and I am walking towards the car. I am therefore "Done".

98-100%: A mathematical term used in place of the word "done".

Shabibi: A god-like figure to Dinarians. He holds the magical keys to the "RV". The all knowing "Shabibi" writes his own posts. These are also called "news articles" He and his friend "Seleh" post these articles every other day about  an event called "the removing the 3 zeroes". He is also at war with the evil wizard called "Maliki".

Maliki: Many consider him the evil wizard that holds back all things that are good.

LOP: Beware of the LOP. It is the antidote to "hopium".  The most evil of all words. It is said that if you say LOP 3 times in a mirror at night you will turn to stone.

Others view the LOP as a mythical creature that will sneak into your home and alter all of your Dinars by removing 3 of the zeroes.

Iraqi holiday: An event that happens in Iraq at least every 3 days. The purpose of these holidays are not known at this time (not even by Iraqis).

It's Too Late To Turn Back Now by Dr. Dinar

I recently received an email from a friend who, thanks to me, is also involved in this RV/GCR endeavor.

By that I mean she too is anxiously awaiting the release of the GCR.

And by 'thanks to me', I mean that in the most tongue in cheek, be careful what you wish for tone in mind.

She made the decision to get involved many years ago based largely on what I possibly (okay, admittedly) portrayed to be a semi low risk - possible high reward, situation.

Because I believed that to be the case.

And as many of us were led to believe, there wasn't much time to think about it.

The small window of opportunity was closing quickly and it was kind of a now or forever hold your peace kind of thing.

Back then most of us, including myself, were led to believe that we were in a 48 hour window and there simply wasn't any time to overthink it.

Get in or get lost.

Looking back on that high speed scramble a decade or so later, the sheer absurdity of the whole thing still blows my mind.

I willingly admit when I took the plunge, I knew next to absolutely nothing about Iraq other than what I saw in short blurbs on TV.

And I didn't watch the news nor much in the way of regular TV.

Needless to say, that left me knowing pretty much next to nothing about Iraq.

Nor any of the current events taking place there at that time.

This was right around the time of the global markets crashing back in 2009 and unfortunately I was already heavily involved in that debacle.

No need to fill my brain with any extra depressing drama.

So Iraq wasn't in any way included in my "must see TV" schedule.

Simply wasn't on my radar.

And when you add in all the too good to be true, turn a thousand into a million overnight propaganda, the entire deal had shady written all over it.

Not to mention a quick trip to Google was a sure guarantee that the entire prospect of an RV of the Iraqi dinar was nothing short of an outright scam.

It was plastered all over the internet as a scam and as we all know, the internet never fibs.

Right!?!

Basically you'd pretty much have to be an absolute fool to waste one Fil on that endeavor.

So of course, armed with all that knowledge, I WAS IN!

Yep, right after losing everything in the Real Estate market crash and promising myself I'd never take a chance on anything ever again, I exchanged my last few dollars for some foreign funny money and I was in.

All in!

I was one of the chosen few.

The Secret Society of Super Secrecy, no tshirt required.

And just in time too because remember, this thing was about to pop.

And when it did I would instantly be in recovery mode, making up for everything I'd lost over the previous two years.

It was almost too good to be true.

Almost as if it was meant to play out this way.

As if the Universe had already scripted this entire journey, just for me.

Finally the Universe was on my side.

All I had to do was relax and enjoy the ride.

But as the weeks turned to months, this get rich quick scheme was in the process of being anything but quick.

Nor rich, for that matter.

Nope, the more time slid by only forced me to further question my original decision to get involved.

And to add insult to injury, I did what I'm sure many others did.

Call me crazy but in the spirit of wanting others to experience the same excitement, I found myself informing family members, as well as a few close friends, about the upcoming RV.

About how great it was going to be and although it wasn't a 100% sure thing, it was about as close as you could get to one.

And yes, I might have made them aware of the two week window and how it was now or never.

Fortunately, a few decided to take the bait.

I mean, they decided on their own to take a chance.

To risk the risk.

Others however, chose a different direction.

That being to not get involved, claiming everything they read told them the RV of the IQD was a scam.

And Google surely knew more than I did.

They didn't have to say the last thing they were going to do was take a huge chance on some fly by night fluke based on info from someone that recently lost everything in the Real Estate market crash.

That was a given, no need to say a word about it.

So, wishing me the best of luck, they did an instant 180 degree turn and headed the other way.

And might I add, as fast as they could.

Which, although I didn't know it at the time, was a blessing in disguise.

You may be asking yourself how that could be.

Wouldn't I want all my family and friends to share in this wonderful journey.

Of course I did.

How could their refusing to get involved be a blessing.

Well, had it been a two week trip, then sure.

But being it's been a decade and counting, I never would've survived all of the "Did the RV happen yet?" and "When are we gonna be rich?" continual questioning.

While there was a small bit of that at the start, things eventually began to calm down as we all realized this thing was on a completely different schedule.

One that none of us had in our Weekly Planners.

An excruciatingly long, mind blowingly exhausting, mentally draining time frame.

And while I feel fortunate in saying none of those I made aware of this opportunity have chosen to totally bail out, at least not yet anyway, a few have decided to tune out as it were.

Meaning they've kinda lost that believin' feelin', having gone more to the call me when it's over side of things.

And honestly, it's difficult not to blame 'em.

Heck, I've been right there a couple few hundred times myself.

It's only natural.

We all had such high expectations, that we'd be living the Lottery Life faster than we could say Cash Out!

Or was it Cash In.

It's been so long I don't really remember.

Whatever it was, it was good to know the friend who emailed was still interested in the current going's on.

And even better, she wanted to know if I thought she should buy more dinar.

Now, I'm no Wealth Manager, nor am I anything remotely close to a Financial Advisor.

I'm simply one of the millions of Crazy Cats that chose to get involved in this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Therefore I'm not about to suggest to her whether she should or shouldn't buy more.

That's on her and the last thing I want is the guilt of that decision resting on my shoulders if anything were to go sideways from here forward.

Not that I think it will.

But as we've all learned, in this made for TV circus, anything is possible.

And I mean anything.

So as I pondered her question, I began to ask myself that same question.

Hasn't that always been the main goal.

To buy more and buy often. And buy more often.

And if you were around back in the days of the Reserves and Lay-A-Ways, then you'll know exactly what I'm referring to.

And those of us that were there at the time saw how well all that worked out.

One thing in my favor, I don't really have to deal with that situation in real life as I'm not in any sort of position to purchase more currency.

However, this wasn't about me.

It was about her and her situation.

The more I thought about it, it wasn't as much about buying more currency as it was about being fully convinced that the decision she made all those years ago was indeed the right choice.

And if so, shouldn't that be enough of an indicator as far as getting further involved is concerned.

So my reply to her was "Are you in... or are you out?"

Are you fully, 100%, no regrets in it to win it or are you still straddling that barbed wire fence between fear and for sure.

Between the fear that it may never happen or the knowingness that for sure it will happen and it's only a matter of time.

To which she replied, "I'm 100% convinced this thing is real and that it's really going to happen."

And there ya have it.

In not so many words she basically answered her own question.

Will she purchase more currency?

I have no idea.

That's entirely up to her.

She knows what's best for her and her family.

She just needed to see it for herself.

We all need reassurance every now and then.

Myself included.

So next time you find yourself drowning in doubt, reflect back on that feeling you had at the start.

That rush you got upon opening your first envelope full of dinar.

Even if "full" was only one 25K note, I have a feeling it still felt like a million bucks.

Focus on that feeling and allow that tingle to carry you through to the finish line.

As far as I'm concerned, it's too late to turn back now.

Either you're in... or you're out.

At this point, there is no in between.

Hang in there folks, I have a feeling we're getting closer every day.

Kindly,

"Hello RV/GCR Hotline......Please Press..." by Dr. Dinar 8-14-2020

Thank you Dr. Dinar

"Hello, RV/GCR Hotline... Please Press..."by Dr. Dinar

"Thank you for calling the RV/GCR Hotline."

"Please press #1 for the date of the public release of the RV/GCR."

"Please press #2 for the new and improved, continually changing Contract rates."

"Please press #3 if you hold ZIM and think it's a Bond."

"Please press #4 if you hold ZIM and think it's currency."

"Please press #5 if you are in need of your daily rumor fix."

"Please press #6 if you'd like to hear the latest articles out of Iraq on Audio-articles."

"Please press #7 if you want a copy of the Iraq Gazette sent to your email."

"Please press #8 if you would like to set an appointment with one of our Certified Therapists."

"Please press #9 if you believe your Brother in Law is correct and that this whole RV/GCR thing IS a scam."

And so on and so forth, until all the various buttons have all been exhausted.

Not to mention all of your buttons as well.

Even to the point of hitting 0#0#*0#0#**0#* a few hundred times in rapid succession, hoping to crack the code, while screaming SPEAK TO AGENT into your phone!

Don't we all wish it were just that easy.

After all, in today's world of instant auto-gratification, shouldn't it be?

I mean, is that simply too much to ask?

Well, as a matter fact, now that you ask, yes.

That is too much to ask.

At least when it comes to this here RV/GCR thing anyway.

You see, nobody really knows what's going to happen and they surely don't know when.

How could they be expected to know the unknown when even those that are working feverishly behind the scenes (at least we've been told they are anyway) haven't a clue as to when this thing is officially going to pop.

Sure, they have windows.

Small sections of time when they hope to have everything lined up, all pings re-pinged, algorithms ready to roll.

And once having accomplished that relatively simple (in the eyes of many people) set of steps, they can then push the Easy Button, thereby installing the codes and the dominoes begin to fall from there.

Eventually populating all the gray/green/blue/black/purple front & back bank screens across the globe with the new & improved rates, instantly rendering all of Dinarland with an abundance of 800 numbers.

Then, after hearing the wonderful news of the release of the RV/GCR, folks can finally begin to board numerous buses (in an orderly fashion mind you) and make a beeline for the Banks.

Unfortunately, it's more than likely not going to happen that way, despite how much many of us wish it would.

The best we can hope for is just a nugget or two of possibilities here and there along the way that could very well be signs of global progress right before our very eyes.

Whether we are smart enough to see them or not.

Enter the quote-unquote "Guru's" of Dinarland.

The outspoken few that have taken it upon themselves to step up on their soapboxes and post their opinions, pointing out these possibilities, despite the huge amount of flack that comes along with the territory.

Why do they do this?

Why continually put themselves in harms way?

Nobody really knows their motives, what drives them to want to share their opinions at great peril.

Mainly to themselves.

But despite knowing all the pitfalls, they continue to do so.

Well, most of them anyway.

I recently became aware of one of Dinarland's faves that has chosen to bow out, to say goodbye, quickly exiting Stage Left, due to the ungrateful negativity that can become all too consuming in the RV/GCR game.

After all, skin is only so thick and after a while the negativity can become all too overwhelming.

Which I myself find to be truly a shame.

Especially at this stage of the game.

As I mentioned earlier, I don't believe anyone, Guru or not, can state that beyond a shadow of a doubt THIS is the day the RV/GCR will be released and THESE are the guaranteed new rates of the popular currencies you hold.

Nobody.

But what they can (and do) offer is hope.

Yes, hope. A reason to remain in the game, despite all odds.

And at this point in time, hope is a precious and extremely rare commodity.

Difficult to put a price on it, that's for certain.

And I believe hope is different from hopium.

Hopium, to me anyway, connotes a feeling of falseness.

An intention to mislead.

But hope gets people through another day of disappointment.

Which, at this point, I believe is priceless.

After being on this journey for over a decade, the one thing I find most difficult is to keep hope afloat.

And no, it's not because I ride the so called Dinarland roller coaster.

I choose to take the global way around this thing and even then, every time you begin to think there's no way this country or that country's economy can survive a disaster of that proportion, they do.

And they do it time and time again.

Can you spell endless manipulation?

As someone well known in Dinarland used to say, "There are no guarantees in life. None."

Truer words were never spoken.

My point in all of this is that there comes a point where you have to ask yourself, am I in it to win it or not.

If not, there are plenty of ways to sell your currency and simply walk away, stress be gone.

It truly is that easy.

Unfortunately I had to do that very thing a short time ago, selling back a good bit of my currency.

Not as a bail-out, but as a matter of survival.

After all, if I'm not there at the finish line, then all this struggle was for naught.

But you better believe I'm going to be there at the finish line with whatever currency I still hold in my possession.

And I hope all of you will as well.

Forget about how many days/weeks/months/years you've spent grinding, hanging on by your last cuticle, to get where you are now.

Instead choose to focus on the strength it took to get here and celebrate that huge accomplishment.

Remaining grateful that you've made it this far.

Many haven't been as fortunate.

We can only go forward from here.

We do that with hope.

Hope for a better future for us, our family and our friends.

Hope for a better planet for all people of the world to enjoy.

Please continue to hang in there and whatever it takes, find your hope, from wherever it may come.

And continue to hold onto it, no matter what it takes.

We've never been closer than we are right now.

All my best,

Dr. Dinar

"We're All In This Together" by Dr. Dinar 8-8-2020

Thank you Dr. Dinar

We're All In This Together by Dr. Dinar

Okay, so where are we now.

Where exactly do we stand in this seemingly never ending journey to the GCR.

Honestly, I have absolutely no idea.

And as far as I can tell, nobody else really knows either.

Yes, they continually give their best guesses but time and time again, these guesstimations are anything but correct.

Not to fault them.

After all, they're doing the best they can with what they have to work with.

Having said that, and as much as I'd love to know how close to the finish line we truly are, it makes complete sense that nobody knows the date.

Nor the rate.

For some reason that still doesn't prevent me from wanting just an inkling of info in regards to where we are on the Checklist To Completion.

If such a thing exists. Which I highly doubt it does.

Sure, they have things that need to get be accomplished.

But it always seems as if while they're working on one thing, two other must completes pop up in the meantime.

So with the one forward, two back routine always seemingly in play, how are we ever supposed to reach a conclusion.

All we can do is continue to hope that eventually circumstances will dictate that things must make a change, otherwise everybody loses.

And if you're anything like me, that script-flip can't come a minute too soon.

I recently had cause to reflect on a time when things were so much simpler.

A time when all we were dealing with was the RV of the IQD.

It was a two day trip, two weeks at the most.

We'd done the research, endlessly scowered the map, we couldn't have been better prepared.

All of our gear in order, everything laid out in front of us, To Go bag by the door.

What could possibly go wrong.

Well, as it turns out, quite a few things could go wrong. And did.

First of which was getting banned from one of the very few (at the time) reliable RV sites.

For the second time no less.

Why was I banned?

Well, silly me.

Who knew you weren't allowed to speak your mind.

To give your opinion.

To question authority.

After all, it was an open Forum format, was it not.

Apparently, contrary to popular belief, it was not.

So, after experiencing my second banishment, I determined that if I was to remain connected to the going's on in Dinarland, it was I and not them that was going to have to make a few changes.

With that in mind, I decided it was best to take on an entirely new persona, as well as a new demeanor, if I had any hopes at all of staying connected.

And staying connected, for me, was Job #1.

Armed with a new identity, as well as a new email address, I gave it the ol' college try.

Fortunately for me, the third time was the charm.

I was, as they say, in like Flynn. Whomever Flynn is.

Back in the know.

Back in with the in crowd as it were.

Up close and personal with all the best intel.

Or so I was led to believe anyway.

And you better believe I wasn't going to question it.

Nope, not this time.

I quietly sat in the back of the room, training myself to become a great listener.

As time rolled on I did become just a bit more vocal, connecting with those I resonated with, but I also paid more attention to keeping my questions, as well as my opinions, under wraps.

I will add that at the time I was also connected to a couple other private situations which afforded me an even better glimpse into the supposed behind the scenes happenings .

Keeping in mind that this was a decade or so ago and as it turns out we really hadn't a clue as to what was going on.

Not as far as the GCR was concerned anyway.

The GCR was never really spoken of, and if it was, it was only in the context of something else that was in the works but it in no way would have any affect on the RV.

What I will say though is the history lessons I received while attending those other classes was and is something I'll always be grateful for.

They served as the concrete that created my unwavering foundation, solid in the knowing that this entire GCR thing really is real.

Knowing the initial reasoning behind the RV itself, who some of the major players were, and why they were there really helps to make sense of so much of what we see today, all these years later.

Although most of the folks I've connected with throughout the years have chosen their own ways of making it through to the finish line, at the end of the day we're all heading in the same direction.

Not necessarily in the same boat, but most definitely on the same river.

I'm willing to bet that nobody that has been involved in this endeavor over 5 years ever thought things would go this way.

That it would take this long.

With so many crazy twists and turns.

That so many last broke Friday's would fall by the wayside, leaving us with far too many still broke Monday's.

Yet, here we are and it is what it is.

Nothing we can do about all the time that has passed other than cherish the Economics education we've received, as well as the like-minded friends we've made along the way.

At this point in the game, from here on out we're all paddling down the same river, heading for the same destination.

All of us looking forward to the day we can reach the shore, exchange our paddles for Porsche's (or whatever flavor of fun you desire), and move on to the life of our dreams.

Until then, please continue to do your best to hang in there.

And whatever you do... KEEP ON PADDLIN'!

Remember, we're all in this together.

Kindly,

Dr. Dinar

"You'll See It When You Believe it" by Dr. Dinar 8-4-2020

Thank you Dr. Dinar

You'll See It When You Believe It by Dr. Dinar

Good morning! Well, it is morning.somewhere…….

And it's great to be alive.

Unfortunately, like many of you, my Bank account is still runnin' on empty.

Which isn't so great.

Not that I'm surprised.

Sure, all week long we've been hearing that this is our week.

Actually since last week we've been hearing that THIS will be our week.

What am I thinking.

We've been hearing the very same thing for many many years now.

That we're in the window, it has to happen now, everybody (except of course the Bad Guys) wants it to happen now.

It HAS TO happen now, or else this or that will happen.

And if this or that happens, then that will be really bad and "they" (whomever they are) don't want this or that bad thing to happen, so they will definitely do it this week so this and that doesn't happen.

Well, they didn't do it.

It didn't happen.

So, shockingly enough, this and that IS (are?) happening.

Which makes one wonder, even though we continue to hear they don't want this and that to happen and are supposedly doing everything possible to avoid this and that happening, perhaps they actually do want all this and that bad stuff to happen.

What is this, like Day 5 of the 2008 Stock Market Meltdown Flashback.

Back to a time when the markets crumbled so horribly that many, like myself, still have yet to recover.

Sure, they threw tons of money at the Banks to keep that shaky House of Cards visibly afloat.

And as difficult as it is to believe, they've managed to keep that facade floating for over a decade now.

Perhaps you can get a pig to hold still long enough to apply lipstick to it after all.

Worked for Arnold Ziffel, so why not the entire Banking industry.

In reality, that charade will have to end at some point.

You can only throw so much bad money after bad before you run out bad money to throw.

And what will happen when the smoke dissipates and the entire world finds out that nothing was ever fixed.

Nothing was ever made better.

No problems were ever solved.

They were simply covered in cotton candy and all that candy melted.

And when it melted, it did so in global proportions.

One thing's for certain, it won't be pretty.

And eyes will be opened to the magnitude of all that's been going on for far too long.

Which brings me back to my original thoughts behind this post.

That being the RV/GCR and how it relates to all of this global meltdown stuff.

For better or worse, I'm still a believer.

I believe the GCR will happen.

And when it does, the RV will be included in the soon after.

I have absolutely no idea when but I do believe it will.

The question for me now is when it does happen, will I actually believe it has happened.

And that it's okay to finally get a bit excited.

After hearing that it's about to happen, on the verge of happening and yet nothing ever happens, for far too many years, I'm not so sure I'm gonna believe it when it really does happen for real.

Even if I were to see it.

And that makes me a bit nervous.

Will I miss the Cash-Out... oops, I mean EXCHANGE window?

Or will I sleep right through the entire process, refusing to get duped yet again.

I certainly hope not.

Crazy as it may seem I'm not at all sure of what it's going to take to convince me that the release is real.

Will it be released at night?

Why not during the day?

Are weekends better?

What about during the week when all the Banks are open.

Do all the Banks need to be open?

Or should they be closed during that illustrious Saturday night "all Banks are closed" window.

All we know is that it's always 5:00 somewhere.

And the release will happen on a day ending in "Y".

Beyond that, the release date is anybody's guess.

I don't think even those that are supposedly releasing this thing have any idea of when that will be.

I doubt we'll ever get any sort of advanced notice.

None that we'll ever believe anyway.

Which, on one hand, I completely understand.

If they were to announce anything in advance, that would make this whole thing appear as if it's real.

And they can't have that happening.

And I get that.

People would scurry to buy each and every piece of "basket-worthy" currency available.

But on the other hand, it makes little to no sense at all.

It would seem to me that they'd want to eliminate the pandemonium that's been created by all of the "get to the Bank ASAP so you don't miss out on your 10 day cash-out window" hype that's been floating around Dinarland for far too long.

If you were around maybe 8 or 9 years ago then you'll surely recall all of the trouble caused by the folks stating week after week that beyond a doubt "This will be your LAST BROKE FRIDAY!"

Sure enough, first thing Monday morning numerous Bank parking lots across the country were filled with busloads of folks banging on the glass doors, demanding to be "Cashed Out".

Claiming that a certain well known Guru had promised them on Friday that the RV was going to happen over the weekend and they could simply show up at the Bank first thing Monday morning, dinar in hand.

Needless to say the Banks were on fire!

And rightfully so.

From that point on the Banks started their Recorded Ridiculousness Campaign stating "We never have, never will, not now, not ever, never, have anything to do with the dinar" followed by a loud "Click!".

Only problem with that was many of us had purchased our first dinar from those very same Banks.

So we weren't as easily swayed as others that were to arrive later in the game.

Yet, with the way things are headed, with a long rumored short exchange period looming, seems to me they're heading in the same direction.

Should they clarify things just a bit better, as far as the slowest roll-out in history is to play out.

Not only for our benefit but for theirs as well.

Hmmmm... I'm not sure.

Yes, it would be nice but at the same time, it might open up an entirely new can of worms.

Which at this point would likely be twisted into yet another delay.

The last thing we need right now is another last ditch hitch or glitch to slow this thing down any further..

So I guess all we can do is roll with it.

To wait it out.

I don't believe they think we're simply going to fade away.

It's much too late for them to hope for that at this point.

Even if they do, good luck with that.

No way us Toothless Crackheads are giving up that easily.

Right!?!

We've come much too far to bail out now.

We have to see this thing through 'til the end.

Even if we don't recognize the actual "end" when we see it.

Perhaps it's what Churchill meant when he said "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning".

Whether it's the end or the beginning or somewhere in between, I only hope that it's closer to the end than it is the beginning because honestly, I'm pretty much done with this thing.

This adventure lost most of its allure many years ago.

At this point it's a seemingly endless, cuticle grinding, uphill marathon and I feel like Forrest Gump in the middle of the desert.

I'm worn out.

I'm tired.

I just want to cross the finish line and get rolling on my new "Pay It Forward" path.

I feel as if I've been in a time loop for the past decade and I'm ready to jump off this mind altering Merry-Go-Round before I lose my cookies.

Please continue to keep your eyes peeled for a sign.

A signal of some sort.

Something that will finally convince us that this part or the journey is over and that we can finally begin our new lives.

Lives filled with hope.

Filled with dreams.

Dreams of enriching the lives of others.

It's gonna happen.

I can only hope we believe it when we see it.

Kindly,

Dr. Dinar

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.

It’s always darkest before dawn. So if you’re going to steal your neighbor’s newspaper, that’s the time to do it.

Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.

Always remember that you’re unique. Just like everyone else.

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.

If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.

Some days you’re the bug; some days you’re the windshield.

Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

Duct tape is like ‘The Force’. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

Generally speaking, you aren’t learning much when your lips are moving.

Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
