Why am I selling my Dinar?
Simple answer: I’m not – I’m buying. I only sell so that we can increase holdings. We keep everything we can afford to. That’s the general concept anyway.
Sometime back we were able to help some folks in a big way with their currency. This was at a time when the dealers were being very harsh with people on their buy-backs and not really passing much of that on to buyers.
We helped. When their advertised buy-back was $500-600 (depending on condition) we were able to get one man $850 x 60 million and helped save his farm. We didn’t make much – but we helped. It was then I realized, if we were gonna’ keep this up, we ought to get registered as a dealer.
We did. We try to offer the best number for those wanting to get out – and the best number we can for those wanting to get in or add more.
Current Sale Price: $995 per million (2014 25k notes – perfect quality – uncirculated)

Sadr announces completion of final touches of government
Alsumaria News / Baghdad – The leader of the Sadrist movement Moqtada al-Sadr announced on Wednesday the completion of the final touches of the government, indicating that it is a genuine Iraqi government and opposition to constructive political and peaceful peace.
“Today, I have completed the picture and I have completed the final touches after you have completed the advice and satisfied you with the government,” Sadr said in a tweet followed by Alsumaria News. “It is a Sunni, Shiite, Arab, Kurdish, nationalist and non-sectarian government. Political peace “.
“We will brief them on the details of the many meetings so that they can have good sayings, and then we will wait for the honest and patriotic blocs that are precious to form a strong patriarchal government that will give the people their rights,” he said.
The leader of the Sadrist movement Moqtada al-Sadr met with a number of officials in the Iraqi government and heads of blocs and coalitions, including Prime Minister Haider Abadi, and discussed with them the formation of the next government and its program.

Chattels (Dinar Guru) – 165 seats are necessary. Sadr’s Sairoon (54 seats), PM Abadi’s Nasr (42 seats), Hakim’s Hikma (19 seats), VP Allawi’s Wataniya (21 seats) and the KDP (25 seats) and Qarar (13 seats) makes a total of 173 if my math is correct. Can I get a “Bingo!“? With the Kurds as part of the government we have the best chance to avoid quotas and establish an efficient majority government for legislation without consensus, IMO. Godspeed the completion of the Iraqi Banking Sector Reform Project!

Sadr meets Hakim to discuss possible governing alliance
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the winning election alliance Sayirun, has met with the prominent Shia leader Ammar al-Hakim, head of the National Hikma (Wisdom) Movement, in Najaf to discuss forming a government.
Both sides say they agree on the need to form a representative government.
“I am thankful to the Iraqi people who voted in the current elections, those who helped reform triumph. [For] even those who abstained from voting, thank you, as they didn’t give their votes to the corrupt,” Sadr told journalists following the meeting.
“God willing, we are looking at a new stage for building in Iraq a democratic, paternal and technocratic government,” Sadr added.
The two leaders have not always been on good terms, according to many sources, with Sadr once saying he would not engage with Hakim politically or share a platform with him prior to the election.
Hakim’s alliance came out as the sixth largest party in the election, even trailing behind the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), with a preliminary result of 22 seats.
Hakim termed the meeting a “valuable opportunity,” where they discussed the election and its results and potential party combinations in government.
“We examined the necessity of forming a government that is national, strong, independent in its political decisions, dependent on the will of the free Iraqi nation, and with a national orientation that transcends components and represents all the sons of the people of Iraq,” Hakim told journalists.
Talk of a possible Sayirun-Hikma alliance marks a good start, Hakim said. Both leaders are open to further talks with any party standing on an anti-corruption, cross-sectarian and cross-ethnic, and pro-reform platform, he added.
He also called on the election commission to seriously examine complaints and allegations of fraud.
“It is clear that the decrease in turnout in elections is a message from the people of Iraq that they want new faces, serious programs and steps to provide the necessary and proper services to the sons of our people,” Hakim added.
Sadr has said he could support incumbent Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi for a second term, owing to similarities in their election pitch.
In a recent pun-heavy tweet, Sadr hinted at potential alliances he wishes to see in an upcoming government.
The KDP, Abadi’s Nasr (Victory) Alliance, Hakim’s Hikma, and some other parties were included in the tweet. It is not clear whether Sadr deliberately omitted Hashd al-Shaabi’s Fatih and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) among others.
Brett McGurk, the US special presidential envoy, met with former Kurdistan Region President Masoud Barzani and PM Nechirvan Barzani in a bid to influence the shape of the next government.
Meanwhile, Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp’s (IRGC) extraterritorial Quds Force, is in southern Iraq seeking to assemble a pro-Iran Shia majority government among the divided Shia blocs.

sandyf (Dinar Guru) – It is a fact that Iraq has for years discussed the project to delete the 3 zeros. It is a fact that ten years ago that Iraq considered the “Turkey model” for their redenomination. It is a fact that in April 2012 the Iraqi cabinet postponed the redenomination indefinitely. It is a fact that in 2009 an investigative report was published into redenominations. It is a fact that the 2009 report concluded that a major contributor to a “successful” redenomination was low inflation. It is a fact that a redenomination introduces a new national currency and that the previous national currency co-exists in-country for a period of time. It would become an ISO historical currency. It is a fact that ISO historical currencies are not recognised internationally…
BGG ~ There are some claims here that I simply don’t agree with… the actual text of the noted articles show differently.

Iraq’s Maliki to engage in more negotiations with Kurds on next govt
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraqi Vice President Nuri al-Maliki’s coalition intends to continue recent talks with kurdish political representatives regarding the formation of the next Iraqi government, his office said.
Hisham al-Rikabi, director of Maliki’s office, said in statements on Wednesday that the State of the Law coalition will launch a new phase of talks within the next couple of days with Kurdish political forces after a meeting between Maliki and a former Kurdish president, Masud Barzani, head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, in Baghdad yesterday.
According to Rikabi, “the meeting between the head of the State of the Law Coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, and the KDP delegation in Baghdad has resulted into resolving lots of past issues between both sides, as well as reaching understandings in relation to the formation of the largest parliamentary bloc”.
Iraqi parliament elections, the first after victory over Islamic State militants, were held on 12th of this month, with results, announced on 19th. Maliki’s list came forth according to the final outcome.
No list has ensured an outright majority, and according to the constitution, the new government should be announced before 90 days after the announcement of results.
Kurds, whose relations with the central government in Baghdad deteriorated since they voted for independence in September, are anxious to secure a place in the next government. Kurdish representatives have met with various political groups, including Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose list came first in the polls.
Kurds have been at loggerheads with Maliki, a former prime minister who is widely blamed for stoking sectarianism and for Islamic State’s takeover of Iraqi territories by the end of his term in 2014.

BGG ~ I really, really, really hope these two jackwaggons go ahead and do a FRUITLESS, IGNORANT, self-serving deal in public and GET RAM-JACKED for it.
ABOUT TIME!!
For our newcomers – these two guys are responsible for all kinds of hideous outcomes for much of the Middle East and likely why we should have seen value change in the Dinar as far back as 2012 but still haven’t.
The reason – they had some really nasty, hinky, CROOKED deals cooked up behind the scenes that no one knew about.
I sincerely hope they both get exposed and thrown in prison soon for their crimes against humanity. Barzani too – he’s in this for his own interests. I GUARANTEE IT (Barzani’s motives – NOT AN RV)!!
P.S. to JWFLATT – who regularly asserts “on the internet” I GUARANTEED an RV some while ago, QUIT LYING!! I did no such thing. In fact, I rarely give a direct answer to such inquiries. Who can know?
There was, however, a man named SteveI, who was convinced an RV was imminent. He shared his opinion on the matter. He “guaranteed” the event. He has since passed away. Quit saying things that aren’t true and you might get to discuss it with him one day. Or not.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) – Article: “MOQTADA AL-SADR, AGREED TO GIVE PRIME MINISTER HAIDER ABADI A SECOND TERM, DURING THE MEETING THEY HAD JUST GATHERED IN BAGHDAD” Okay so now we know Al-Abadi is going to be the next prime minister. We also gain some more insight at to the two conditions that al-Sadr is requiring of him. 1) fight corruption all the way to the top levels of govt 2) publish the list of names of those corrupt political officials.You can bet that on his mind is going after this Nori al-Maliki.
