The times they are a changing… or not

It seems a few have gotten a wee bit of the message, but they still don’t get it, and yes! There’s Q&A today!

Let’s get to the breakdown first, 9-5-2024  MarkZ  I am getting many reports…that payments have started. Reports that payments are rolling out to groups… But I am staying calm because I have not been able to prove it yet. But I am looking for proof that this is accurate.  I am hearing this from many different sources….  IF this is accurate…in the next day or two-you and I should find out when we can go in and exchange our currency – IF THIS IS ACCURATE.  …I am getting blown up with contacts saying they have let things go…I have heard this from a number of sources… STAY CALM….I am really trying to stay calm as well. So at least there’s the precursory warning to stay calm, the problem is you’re still covering yourself by putting information out there that has absolutely NO value. All this is merely self proclamation for the sake of keeping people tuned in to your money flow. “IF THIS IS ACCURATE” in itself is a laughable statement! Nothing you’ve provided has even been close to accurate so NOW you want to say IF. IF you had posted anything that had come true previously on one of your guesses, you might have some credibility, but at it stands, IF you’d shut up, we’d all be better off. Is that accurate enough?
9-4-2024  Pimpy  Article: “The Iraqi Central Bank announces the results of his visit to New York: A high ranking  delegation negotiated with the US Treasury”  There will be another big meeting by the end of this year…They’re trying to find  stability in the exchange rates…This is not really new.  This is what Iraq has been doing recently, focusing on the banking sector because that’s a big part of them getting out of the dark ages and start working internationally once again…Is this a step  in the right direction?  Of course it is.  But does this mean they’re going to change the exchange rate anytime soon?  No.  There’s no indication either way… This is a perfect example of how to be ambiguous and negative at the same time. First, you state there are good things happening then immediately turn it sideways and backwards to a negative. But let’s look at some things from this, “focusing on the banking sector” is excellent in that they’ve been pushing this for about a year now, trying to straighten out some crooked banks. Then we get to the kicker comment, “does this mean they’re going to change the exchange rate anytime soon? No, there’s no indication either way”. So basically what you’ve said here is you don’t know either way if it could change value soon. But you said NO just because you can’t prove it one way or the other. Guess that wikipedia page you use for your sources hasn’t updated yet. Iraq has made huge strides in the economic landscape as proven by their non-oil revenue streams that have been developed over the last two years especially. They are working internationally now with the banks being able to work in other currencies. More change is coming.

So a number of questions the last couple weeks and I’ll just summarize a few of them since several are the same question restated different ways.
BR- You keep saying the gurus are profiting off of us, can you explain more in depth how? Sure. If they have a site, besides the obvious subscription base, you two at two other main areas. First, do they require you to register with an email? If so, that allows them to build a database of emails that can be sold or used for email marketing. Second is click through or site visit traffic revenue. Google tracks the amount of traffic a site gets, this allows them to make good choices for advertisements they want to target. So let’s say I wanted to advertise my site, I would go to google ads and pay for a search term, let’s say dinar chat. I would then pay Google for so many “impressions”. These impressions are the number of times that ad will be seen under that term on a site. If you look at sites like dinarguru or dinardetectives, you see a LOT of ads. These ads generate revenue for the owner of the site by providing monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments for an “impression” or a spot on the site. If you click on that ad you would then visit the advertiser which is called a click-through, which generates even more money. These sites can then use that data to attract more advertisers because they boast a lot of visits or click-throughs for other ads. Youtube is a whole other animal in that they measure not only the visit to the video, but how much time you spent watching it. The longer you watch it, the more value that gives to the poster. You notice the ads that run prior to a video or sometimes during? Those ads paid for the ability to target you based off of your viewing habits, which yes they track also.

AN- What about when this is over, what are your plans? I’ve made those pretty clear, quite simply, I will keep living my life. Having been in this for so long, my plans have somewhat evolved over time. There were a number of business ideas I had considered but as time has passed, my main concern is to see my family taken care of. After that is resolved, I have plans to see some locations that I’ve always wanted to visit and try to do some good in the world. As I’ve explained in previous posts, I’m not one for running out to buy a bentley or anything although I do have some plans for a vehicle upgrade. One of the most important things I’ve talked about is how you live off of income. For me, the key is building wealth, in other words, I want to live off of interest and let the money work harder so I don’t have to. Too many people want to rush out and buy everything they’ve ever wanted. It may behoove you to actually get a loan for something rather than pay cash up front. Consult your advisors (which you will need) once you come into that money. Also, remember that your advisors should work for you when investing or giving advice, not the bank or someone else. Sure they should be compensated for their advice, but only when they are making money for you. Bad advice (Gee, that should apply to the gurus) shouldn’t be rewarded.

SG- You mentioned several things that need to be done, if you had to see one thing change first, what would it be? That’s a dual sided question and isn’t that simple to answer. I mean, I’d love to see the lower denoms posted on the CBI site and in use, but for that to occur other things have to have happened. That main thing being the removal of Iraq from and currency restrictions so that U.S. banks could and would deal with the currency. But honestly you can’t have one without the other I don’t believe. Banks wouldn’t care about an exotic currency that only has a value of .00076 to the dollar. Why? They can’t make any money off something that has no value. Iraq continues to make progress that we can see with lifting of some restrictions, removal from lists and introductions into organizations that require an internationally traded currency.

Hope these help resolve some anxiety, I’ve read several of your emails and I feel for the continued burdens that many still face after all these years. I applaud you for your determination and resiliency to continue to keep your heads above water. I wish this would have been resolved years ago, but politics is a brutal and selfish game that countries and politicians play. Many get rich off of the unfortunate circumstances that the regular person has to deal with on a daily basis. I hope that the playing field evens out a bit, but it will take many voices to be heard above the noise. Keep evolving your plan, know what’s important to you above all, and don’t forget others, no matter how much grief you’ve been given over the years.
