I pulled this from Dinar Speculator... Groovegal Chat... 10/06/09... Please let me know if this isn't appropriate to post here. I thought it was a GREAT read and something that Duck, Ward, OOM, Neno, and others may wish to weigh-in on...
3:08 PM [Groovgal] okay guys to understand the current situation we have to understand how we got here in the first place
3:09 PM [Groovgal] i won't go back too far but we must understand the root of a problem to understand the greater picture
3:11 PM [Groovgal] if we go back to August when this thing really began to take off
3:12 PM [Groovgal] we will see that we have seen major movement on all fronts
SOMEONE IS GONNA WANT TO POST THIS
3:12 PM [03goldwing] i got it
3:12 PM [Groovgal] I have UN source that I work with
3:12 PM [Groovgal] tell me that this was done as of Aug
3:13 PM [Groovgal] you are only as good as your sources allow you to be
3:14 PM [Groovgal] Now, with that said.. this source has access to all UN information
3:14 PM [Groovgal] things that you or I cannot see
3:14 PM [Groovgal] inner office memo's and things of that nature
3:14 PM [Groovgal] according to her
3:14 PM [Groovgal] Iraq was given a timeline
3:15 PM [Groovgal] it was a not the sort of time line with an experation date
3:15 PM [Groovgal] instead the time line was merely a list of things that had to be completed in order to achieve their agenda
3:16 PM [Groovgal] the agenda is what we are seeing now in the news and media
3:16 PM [Groovgal] release of Chapter 7 and an RI
3:16 PM [Groovgal] Now this list was mostly completed back in Aug.
3:17 PM [Groovgal] once it was completed my source said that nothing at that point should have stood in their way
3:17 PM [Groovgal] now, you all must understand
3:18 PM [Groovgal] there are very few people that know all that is going on.... they all have bits and pieces of information
3:18 PM [Groovgal] she was restricted to only what Iraq was doing with the UN/IMF/WB etc
3:18 PM [Groovgal] and didn't have access to what was occurring within the borders of Iraq
3:18 PM [Groovgal] that is where her intel stopped
3:19 PM [Groovgal] Now, lets fast forward to Sept
3:19 PM [Groovgal] we all know that movement was on par in the news and media around this time
3:19 PM [Groovgal] UN meetings were becoming as common as office gossip
3:20 PM [Groovgal] They sometimes appeared to be meeting every week about something
3:20 PM [Groovgal] now not everythig was about the RV
3:20 PM [Groovgal] I suppose that is what is most frustrating to those of us who research this stuff endlessly
3:21 PM [Groovgal] and we see some try to turn everything into news of the RV
3:21 PM [Groovgal] not everything is pertaining to the revaluation of the IQD
3:22 PM [Groovgal] now... I also have a government source who is on the Foreign Economic Advisory Board
3:22 PM [Groovgal] this board has been in place for quite a long time
3:23 PM [Groovgal] and it's main purpose is to set an agenda and a working budget for the government of Iraq to become the mirror image of Kuwait
3:24 PM [Groovgal] when Iraq hits a new quarter the (FEAB) is sent to Iraq to do a review
3:24 PM [Groovgal] and to check their budgets to make sure they are staying on the plan
3:24 PM [Groovgal] now many of you have been in this for years
3:25 PM [Groovgal] you sit each day and hear more and more bs rumors released that amount to nothing
3:25 PM [Groovgal] and that is what you've lived off of for some time now
3:26 PM [Groovgal] but the actual workings of the process of reaching an internationally recognized currency has only truly been in the workings since July or so
3:26 PM [Groovgal] why?
3:26 PM [Groovgal] because they had to complete the "list"
3:27 PM [Groovgal] now... roughly in the middle of Aug... China threw a fit about the value of the USD
3:28 PM [Groovgal] this was for a two fold reason
3:28 PM [Groovgal] 1) they anted to draw attention to themselves as most dictators love to do
3:29 PM [Groovgal] also, to pose the possibility that the U.S. is no longer able to maintain their powerful position thus fueling concern to the Global Leaders of its unstable economy and in hopes of taking away the U.S.'s voting power
3:30 PM [Groovgal] from the UN/WB/IMF etc
3:30 PM [Groovgal] BUT there was another reason
3:31 PM [Groovgal] the secondary reason was this
3:31 PM [Groovgal] They were concerned tht with the value of the USD falling
3:32 PM [Groovgal] and everything backed by the greenback
3:32 PM [Groovgal] it would be fruitless to allow Iraq to RV in the current economic climate
3:33 PM [Groovgal] if they allow Iraq to RV/RI in the current economic climate and their currency were to float against the world market
3:33 PM [Groovgal] the value of the IQD would drop
3:33 PM [Groovgal] further causing more economic crisis....
3:34 PM [Groovgal] in essence everything that the U.S./Europe and other have done to turn Iraq into another Kuwait would be an essential wash
3:43 PM [Groovgal] The RI was their only focus
3:43 PM [Groovgal] it was the topic of discussion
3:44 PM [Groovgal] if you can wrap your minds around the idea that Iraq right now feels as if they are having their hands held and are essentially still wearing "diapers" then you'll understand just how badly Iraq wants out of this
3:44 PM [Groovgal] they want the RI and they want it NOW
3:45 PM [Groovgal] They had 10 + hour meetings with our FEAB
33:46 PM [Groovgal] it wasn't Treasury that had anything to do with this
3:46 PM [Groovgal] it was the FEAB
3:46 PM [Groovgal] yes some members of Treasury did visit iraq
3:46 PM [Groovgal] but only to discuss the GDP and NAFTA agreements
33:47 PM [Groovgal] So on Sept 4
3:48 PM [Groovgal] my source attending a meeting with the Iraqi FM's and they were discussing how they can prove their economic sustainability
3:48 PM [Groovgal] what do they produce the most of?
3:48 PM [Groovgal] OIL
3:49 PM [Groovgal] the only way to prove themselves worthy of an RV was to prove that they would be able to reach an acceptable level of out put
3:49 PM [Groovgal] far greater than what is in production
3:49 PM [Groovgal] which we
3:50 PM [Groovgal] ve seen in a recent article earlier today in which it states that Iraq expects to reach 6 mill
3:51 PM [Groovgal] Now, my government source was given orders on the 4th while in Baghdad to
3:51 PM [Groovgal] fly to London
3:51 PM [Groovgal] he had never been asked to speak in front of any UN meeting and he was a tad taken back with this order
3:52 PM [Groovgal] when he reached there...
3:52 PM [Groovgal] he had to lay out the budget before the members of the group for Iraq
3:53 PM [Groovgal] and essentially show how Iraq was going to be economically sustainable
3:53 PM [Groovgal] now if you all are paying attention here
3:53 PM [Groovgal] you will see that I keep using the phrase "economic sustainability"
3:54 PM [Groovgal] mean, can they sustain their economy without failing?
3:54 PM [Groovgal] that is the global concern right now!
3:54 PM [Groovgal] on all fronts
3:55 PM [Groovgal] Now on Sunday Sept 6th... my source while meeting with the UN walked away with the doors being shut behind him for a closed door meeting
3:55 PM [Groovgal] he doesn't know 100% for sure but he is about 70% certain that on that day
3:56 PM [Groovgal] the UN council voted on whether to allow Iraq to RI/RV and also discussed the issue of the Ch. 7 release
3:57 PM [Groovgal] now, before everyone gets in a tizzy about the Chapter 7 release I want to say that
3:57 PM [Groovgal] Iraq doesn't need a full release from chapter 7 to RI/RV
3:58 PM [Groovgal] they are currently in a position to RV/RI
3:58 PM [Groovgal] now..... I believe that we can catch up to this month now
3:58 PM [Groovgal] This month we have witnessed Talabini go before the UN
3:58 PM [Groovgal] if you go back and read his speech
3:59 PM [Groovgal] you will see that he speaks of why Iraq should be released from Chapter 7
3:59 PM [Groovgal] he speaks of the 2009 budget
3:59 PM [Groovgal] he IS talking about the review completed at the first of Sept by the FEAB
4:00 PM [Groovgal] he is stating his plea to the UN without outright stating this.... they Iraq has proven they have grounds to be released from the Chapter 7 AND
4:00 PM [Groovgal] this is the part you wont hear
4:01 PM [Groovgal] but it is also the plea for an RI/RV
4:01 PM [Groovgal] now
4:02 PM [Groovgal] if you are just now hearing of this article here is the link
4:02 PM [Groovgal] http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2009/gaab3917.doc.htm
4:03 PM [Groovgal] now this is where it gets a tad confusing
4:03 PM [Groovgal] I can see why he was confused
4:03 PM [Groovgal] or mistaken rather
4:04 PM [Groovgal] and I'm going to try to attempt to explain this in a way that is easy for everyone to understand
4:04 PM [Groovgal] imagine a pyramid if you will
4:05 PM [Groovgal] the pyramid represent an organizational structure
4:05 PM [Groovgal] at the top is the UN
4:05 PM [Groovgal] it then branches off into 6 other organizations below it
4:06 PM [Groovgal] The Charter established six principal organs of the United Nations: the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the International Court of Justice, and the Secretariat.
4:07 PM [Groovgal] but it is also stated directly on the UN web page, "The United Nations family, however, is much larger, encompassing 15 agencies and several programmes and bodies."
4:08 PM [Groovgal] of those additional 15 agencies is the IMF and the WTO
4:09 PM [Groovgal] the IMF will be the ones to actually pull this
4:09 PM [Groovgal] but if you've been paying any attention at all to any of the media releases you will see
4:09 PM [Groovgal] that it has been say several times they they want to curb currency speculation
4:09 PM [dinollar] who else can but IMF
4:10 PM [Groovgal] if they allow currency specualtion it could cause volital market disruptions
4:11 PM [Groovgal] image if you will that the IMF were to actually come right out and state "We're going to allow Iraq to reinstate its currency which is now worthless!"
4:12 PM [Groovgal] now maybe it's just me but I would assume that everyone on the globe would run down and purchase IQD
4:12 PM [Groovgal] wish would or could cause havoc on nearly all fronts including all markets!!!!!
4:12 PM [Groovgal] You would or could possibly see a Black Monday like never seen before
4:13 PM [Groovgal] sorry Which*
4:13 PM [Groovgal] not wish*
4:13 PM [Groovgal] lol
4:13 PM [Groovgal] So, again... yes it will be the IMF to call this.... but we will only hear snipets from the IMF about this
4:14 PM [Groovgal] so how will be lead on to what is actually occurring?
4:14 PM [Groovgal] The UN is master's at hiding their movements
4:15 PM [Groovgal] they are master's at releaseing something but burying it... and if anyone were to ask at a later date or question at a later date...
4:16 PM [Groovgal] they can say...."why it's right there buried in paragraph 20 sentence 4!"
4:16 PM [Groovgal] Now, you will also see snipets coming from the GCC
4:16 PM [Groovgal] too
4:16 PM [Groovgal] in which we did some weeks ago
4:17 PM [Groovgal] it was an article that was referencing the IMF
4:17 PM [Groovgal] titled with with GCC
4:17 PM [Groovgal] that spoke about percentages of possible currency reval's
4:18 PM [Groovgal] I dont have the aritcle in front of me to quote directly and I'm running off memory here
4:18 PM [Groovgal] so forgive me if there is something slightly wrong
4:19 PM [Groovgal] So, we have a UN document release yesterday
4:19 PM [Groovgal] this document was speaking of UN membership dues
4:19 PM [Groovgal] but was largely discussing Economic Sustainability
4:20 PM [Groovgal] it was talking about adjusting member dues based upon their income while not hindering
4:20 PM [Groovgal] the sustainability of each government
4:21 PM [Groovgal] China is a prime example here
4:22 PM [Groovgal] and you can go and re-read the article where China makes a plea to not consider the size of their population in factoring in their dues because their actual income is only $3,000
4:22 PM [Groovgal] yes $3,000
4:22 PM [Groovgal]
4:22 PM [Groovgal] So while they write an article discussing global economic sustainability
4:23 PM [Groovgal] they throw in two interesting paragraphs referring to Iraq
4:23 PM [Groovgal] I will copy and paste them here
4:24 PM [Groovgal] The Committee agreed that, once chosen, there were advantages in using the same base period for as long as possible, so as to smooth out over the course of consecutive scale periods the impact for every Member State. It also decided to consider further at future sessions the questions of the debt burden adjustment and the low per-capita income adjustment. Also during the session, the Committee decided to adjust market exchange rates for Iraq and to use United Nations operational rates for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Myanmar and the Syrian Arab Republic.
4:25 PM [Groovgal] In connection with conversion rates, he said that for 11 countries, a country-by-country assessment of possible exchange rate overvaluation or undervaluation had been conducted, including the examination of information about the economic and financial situation. Based on the review, the Committee had decided to adjust the conversion rate of Iraq. Some members considered that the rate of the other 10 countries should also be adjusted. However, in line with the past practice and its recommendation on the scale methodology, the Committee had decided to use market exchange rates for the other Member States.
4:25 PM [Groovgal] now... it has been specualted for some time that we will see a mass revaluation of currencies
4:26 PM [Groovgal] and we finally know how many now!
4:26 PM [Groovgal] !!
4:26 PM [Groovgal] 11
4:26 PM [Groovgal] Iraq is one of them
4:26 PM [Groovgal] now what this was
4:26 PM [Groovgal] was the UN coming out and stating that it has been DECIDED UPON
4:27 PM [Groovgal] THEY WILL adjust Iraq's exchange rates!
4:27 PM [Groovgal] don't try to read more into it
4:27 PM [Groovgal] don't try to tear it apart
4:27 PM [Groovgal] and over analyze what was written
4:28 PM [Groovgal] this is what I do for a living
4:28 PM [Groovgal] I read the UN art's the WB arts
4:28 PM [Groovgal] etc
4:28 PM [Groovgal] they do this!
4:28 PM [Groovgal] and it drives me insane!
4:28 PM [Groovgal] So, as we sit!
4:29 PM [Groovgal] the UN has basically announced that the IMF is in agreement to allow Iraq to revalue/RI
4:29 PM [Groovgal] and now we wait
4:29 PM [Groovgal] we went from speculating on a currency
4:29 PM [Groovgal] to knowing that the currency is going to revalue
4:30 PM [Groovgal] the only question is now.... when and how much
4:30 PM [Groovgal] this just became a serious game!
4:30 PM [Groovgal] now my qustion is ....
4:30 PM [Groovgal] if we consider the trends of the UN/IMF etc
4:31 PM [Groovgal] how long is it going to take them to flip the switch
4:31 PM [Groovgal] days, a week etc
4:31 PM [Groovgal] that is an answer I don't have
4:31 PM [Groovgal] but I without a doubt am more relaxed than ever!
4:31 PM [Groovgal] the wait will soon be over for us all
4:32 PM [Groovgal] and I personally believe it will be this month
3:08 PM [Groovgal] okay guys to understand the current situation we have to understand how we got here in the first place
3:09 PM [Groovgal] i won't go back too far but we must understand the root of a problem to understand the greater picture
3:11 PM [Groovgal] if we go back to August when this thing really began to take off

4:13 PM [Groovgal] sorry Which*
4:13 PM [Groovgal] not wish*
4:13 PM [Groovgal] lol
4:13 PM [Groovgal] So, again... yes it will be the IMF to call this.... but we will only hear snipets from the IMF about this
4:14 PM [Groovgal] so how will be lead on to what is actually occurring?
4:14 PM [Groovgal] The UN is master's at hiding their movements
4:15 PM [Groovgal] they are master's at releaseing something but burying it... and if anyone were to ask at a later date or question at a later date...
4:16 PM [Groovgal] they can say...."why it's right there buried in paragraph 20 sentence 4!"
4:16 PM [Groovgal] Now, you will also see snipets coming from the GCC
4:16 PM [Groovgal] too
4:16 PM [Groovgal] in which we did some weeks ago
4:17 PM [Groovgal] it was an article that was referencing the IMF
4:17 PM [Groovgal] titled with with GCC
4:17 PM [Groovgal] that spoke about percentages of possible currency reval's
4:18 PM [Groovgal] I dont have the aritcle in front of me to quote directly and I'm running off memory here
4:18 PM [Groovgal] so forgive me if there is something slightly wrong
4:19 PM [Groovgal] So, we have a UN document release yesterday
4:19 PM [Groovgal] this document was speaking of UN membership dues
4:19 PM [Groovgal] but was largely discussing Economic Sustainability
4:20 PM [Groovgal] it was talking about adjusting member dues based upon their income while not hindering
4:20 PM [Groovgal] the sustainability of each government
4:21 PM [Groovgal] China is a prime example here
4:22 PM [Groovgal] and you can go and re-read the article where China makes a plea to not consider the size of their population in factoring in their dues because their actual income is only $3,000
4:22 PM [Groovgal] yes $3,000
4:22 PM [Groovgal]
4:22 PM [Groovgal] So while they write an article discussing global economic sustainability
4:23 PM [Groovgal] they throw in two interesting paragraphs referring to Iraq
4:23 PM [Groovgal] I will copy and paste them here
4:24 PM [Groovgal] The Committee agreed that, once chosen, there were advantages in using the same base period for as long as possible, so as to smooth out over the course of consecutive scale periods the impact for every Member State. It also decided to consider further at future sessions the questions of the debt burden adjustment and the low per-capita income adjustment. Also during the session, the Committee decided to adjust market exchange rates for Iraq and to use United Nations operational rates for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Myanmar and the Syrian Arab Republic.
4:25 PM [Groovgal] In connection with conversion rates, he said that for 11 countries, a country-by-country assessment of possible exchange rate overvaluation or undervaluation had been conducted, including the examination of information about the economic and financial situation. Based on the review, the Committee had decided to adjust the conversion rate of Iraq. Some members considered that the rate of the other 10 countries should also be adjusted. However, in line with the past practice and its recommendation on the scale methodology, the Committee had decided to use market exchange rates for the other Member States.
4:25 PM [Groovgal] now... it has been specualted for some time that we will see a mass revaluation of currencies
4:26 PM [Groovgal] and we finally know how many now!
4:26 PM [Groovgal] !!
4:26 PM [Groovgal] 11
4:26 PM [Groovgal] Iraq is one of them
4:26 PM [Groovgal] now what this was
4:26 PM [Groovgal] was the UN coming out and stating that it has been DECIDED UPON
4:27 PM [Groovgal] THEY WILL adjust Iraq's exchange rates!
4:27 PM [Groovgal] don't try to read more into it
4:27 PM [Groovgal] don't try to tear it apart
4:27 PM [Groovgal] and over analyze what was written
4:28 PM [Groovgal] this is what I do for a living

4:28 PM [Groovgal] and it drives me insane!
4:28 PM [Groovgal] So, as we sit!
4:29 PM [Groovgal] the UN has basically announced that the IMF is in agreement to allow Iraq to revalue/RI
4:29 PM [Groovgal] and now we wait
4:29 PM [Groovgal] we went from speculating on a currency
4:29 PM [Groovgal] to knowing that the currency is going to revalue
4:30 PM [Groovgal] the only question is now.... when and how much
4:30 PM [Groovgal] this just became a serious game!
4:30 PM [Groovgal] now my qustion is ....
4:30 PM [Groovgal] if we consider the trends of the UN/IMF etc
4:31 PM [Groovgal] how long is it going to take them to flip the switch
4:31 PM [Groovgal] days, a week etc
4:31 PM [Groovgal] that is an answer I don't have
4:31 PM [Groovgal] but I without a doubt am more relaxed than ever!
4:31 PM [Groovgal] the wait will soon be over for us all
4:32 PM [Groovgal] and I personally believe it will be this month
