The article below, Billions over Baghdad, written by John B. Taylor, under secretary of the Treasury from 2001 to 2005, and the author of “Global Financial Warriors”, is a concise explanation of the beginnings of the plan to devalue, print a new dinar currency, then revalue (RV) the Iraqi dinar. It was first conceived by Cheney & Greenspan, et al, and then put into action before the first shot was ever fired in the Iraqi War. It also gives credibility to GW Bush when he expressed many times as to how this war would pay for itself, namely OIL. Iraqi oil at less than $33/barrel coming to the USA.
The 3-5 trillion Iraqi dinar currently held by the US treasury will be returned to Iraq beginning 6 months from now in exchange for oil at the lower price. This, in part, is how Iraq will finance this revaluation. One barrel of oil will cost the US roughly 6 dinar currently held by the US Treasury. That barrel of oil actually costs Iraq from $1.00 to 4.00 to produce. This equates to approximately $.20 to $.50 per dinar (not the $4+ connected to the upcoming RV). Spread the costs of this exchange of dinar for oil out over several years or decades amidst the back and forth commerce of unprecedented proportions between the two countries, and it is clear that the actual costs of dinar for oil will hardly be felt at all.
Iraq will gain so much from international trade and commerce following the rebuilding phase currently underway, that, from this alone, the sum total of the RV could be financed. This is not really hard to imagine when you understand that the FOREX market itself moves (circulates) over 4 trillion dollars worth of currency in a single day. International commerce trades much more than that in a day. The key here is "back and forth". The same money will be recycled many times in many ways, and from this, bills get paid.
In 2003 the new Iraqi currency series was sent by ship, and also flown by twenty seven 747's, into Iraq right during the war. That new series is the very SAME dinar that we all presently hold awaiting its revaluation.
Bottom line is this: The events in Iraq are part of a long standing plan. Now, over 2 million Americans hold an average of 1 million dinar. Every government in the world owns large amounts of dinar with the expectation of leveraging their countries into a lower state of debt. (Have you wondered why the papers have reported numerous "forgiveness of debt" deals being made at national levels lately?)
Most of us, as average American citizens, are only involved in this investment because the election for a new Prime Minister of Iraq last March (2010) was inconclusive, resulting in a 9 month delay (to Dec 15th) to confirm Maliki as the PM. Tens of thousands got wind of this investment during that 9 months. This was followed by another five months to complete the technical infrastructure on the banking and FOREX sides, iron out the last minute back room deals, settle all Chapter 7 requirements, negotiate the payment of debts, and officially form the Iraqi government/cabinet with the final Security Minister being positioned and announced concurrently with the RV.
On Feb 25th, 2011 the Iraqi Minister of Trade formally requested being granted permanent membership into the World Trade Organization as a fully fledged member, rather than as an observer member. Such an appointment can only be made if all Chapter 7 sanctions have been removed and their currency is tradable on the open market. (via Google Translator)
Word has spread 'round the globe, partly due to the diligent efforts of the dinar forums, which have complied vast amounts of research, data and first hand intel, in an effort to determine, and plan for, the two most important pieces of information associated to this grand event – "the rate" and "the date".
120+ countries will see changes in their currency values along with Iraq upon the initiation of this unprecedented event. Each nation's currency rate will ultimately (if not immediately) be based mostly on the nation's assets (precious metals, oil, gas, GDP, etc.). See the article in Business Line "Drifting Back to the Gold Standard"
The revaluation of the Iraqi dinar is the beginning of the greatest wealth transfer in the history of modern man. The economic structures of the world are currently undergoing their most profound change in economic history. I anticipate that we will see the biggest economic boom the world has ever known taking shape over the next 50 years. We are all part of this history now being made!
Now is the time to prepare the foundation for your future of abundance so you can devote yourself to the pursuit of your purpose and your passions. Be diligent, study, learn and prepare!
May your brightest dreams become physical reality,

EARLIER this month, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing that criticized the decision to ship American currency into Iraq just after Saddam Hussein’s government fell. As the committee’s chairman, Henry Waxman of California, put it in his opening statement, “Who in their right mind would send 360 tons of cash into a war zone?” His criticism attracted wide attention, feeding antiwar sentiment and even providing material for comedians. But a careful investigation of the facts behind the currency shipment paints a far different picture.
The currency that was shipped into Iraq in the days after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s government was part of a successful financial operation that had been carefully planned months before the invasion. Its aims were to prevent a financial collapse in Iraq, put the financial system on a firm footing and pave the way for a new Iraqi currency. Contrary to the criticism that such currency shipments were ill advised or poorly monitored, this financial plan was carried out with precision and was a complete success.
The plan, which had two stages, was designed to work for Iraq’s cash economy, in which checks or electronic funds transfers were virtually unknown and shipments of tons of cash were commonplace.
In the first stage, the United States would pay Iraqi government employees and pensioners in American dollars. These were obtained from Saddam Hussein’s accounts in American banks, which were frozen after he attacked Kuwait in 1990 and amounted to about $1.7 billion. Since the dollar is a strong and reliable currency, paying in dollars would create financial stability until a new Iraqi governing body was established and could design a new currency. The second stage of the plan was to print a new Iraqi currency for which Iraqis could exchange their old dinars.
The final details of the plan were reviewed in the White House Situation Room by President Bush and the National Security Council on March 12, 2003. I attended that meeting. Treasury Secretary John Snow opened the presentation with a series of slides. “As soon as control over the Iraqi government is established,” the first slide read, we plan to “use United States dollars to pay civil servants and pensioners. Later, depending on the situation on the ground, we would decide about the new currency.” Another slide indicated that we could ship $100 million in small denominations to Baghdad on one week’s notice. President Bush approved the plan with the understanding that we would review the options for a new Iraqi currency later, when we knew the situation on the ground.
To carry out the first stage of the plan, President Bush issued an executive order on March 20, 2003, instructing United States banks to relinquish Mr. Hussein’s frozen dollars. From that money, 237.3 tons in $1, $5, $10 and $20 bills were sent to Iraq. During April, United States Treasury officials in Baghdad worked with the military and the Iraqi Finance Ministry officials — who had painstakingly kept the payroll records despite the looting of the ministry — to make sure the right people were paid. The Iraqis supplied extensive documentation of each recipient of a pension or paycheck. Treasury officials who watched over the payment process in Baghdad in those first few weeks reported a culture of good record keeping.
On April 29, Jay Garner, the retired lieutenant general who headed the reconstruction effort in Iraq at the time, reported to Washington that the payments had lifted the mood of people in Baghdad during those first few confusing days. Even more important, a collapse of the financial system was avoided.
This success paved the way for the second stage of the plan. In only a few months, 27 planeloads (in 747 jumbo jets) of new Iraqi currency were flown into Iraq from seven printing plants around the world. Armed convoys delivered the currency to 240 sites around the country. From there, it was distributed to 25 million Iraqis in exchange for their old dinars, which were then dyed, collected into trucks, shipped to incinerators and burned or simply buried.
The new currency proved to be very popular. It provided a sound underpinning for the financial system and remains strong, appreciating against the dollar even in the past few months. Hence, the second part of the currency plan was also a success.
The story of the currency plan is one of several that involved large sums of cash. For example, just before the war, Saddam Hussein stole $1 billion from the Iraqi central bank. American soldiers found that money in his palaces and shipped it to a base in Kuwait, where the United States Army’s 336th Finance Command kept it safe. To avoid any appearance of wrongdoing, American soldiers in Kuwait wore pocket-less shorts and T-shirts whenever they counted the money.
Later, American forces used the found cash to build schools and hospitals, and to repair roads and bridges. Gen. David Petraeus has described these projects as more successful than the broader reconstruction effort.
But that wasn’t the only source of dollars. Because the new Iraqi dinar was so popular, the central bank bought billions of United States dollars to keep it from appreciating too much. As a result, billions in cash accumulated in the vaults of the central bank. Later, with American help, the Iraqi central bank deposited these billions at the New York Federal Reserve Bank, where they could earn interest.
Finally, when Iraq started to earn dollars selling oil, the United States transferred the cash revenue to the Finance Ministry, where it was used to finance government operations, including salaries and reconstruction. Many of these transfers occurred in 2004, long after the financial stabilization operation had concluded. Iraqi Finance Ministry officials had already demonstrated that they were serious about keeping the controls they had in place. The 360 tons mentioned by Henry Waxman includes these transfers as well as the 237.3 tons shipped in 2003 in the stabilization.
One of the most successful and carefully planned operations of the war has been held up in this hearing for criticism and even ridicule. As these facts show, praise rather than ridicule is appropriate: praise for the brave experts in the United States Treasury who went to Iraq in April 2003 and established a working Finance Ministry and central bank, praise for the Iraqis in the Finance Ministry who carefully preserved payment records in the face of looting, praise for the American soldiers in the 336th Finance Command who safely kept found money, and yes, even praise for planning and follow-through back in the United States.

Snipette of Frank 09-15 The following is getting very interesting.
latraga meaning is no way back, one way street. How it relates is this. Last Sunday the GOI said the RV should wait until the 2012 year, Monday the CBI used this word, to say this is done, and finished, no way to stop it now.
The order of rules if you will for the CBI to RV is this.
Step 1, prepare a draft or plan.
Step 2, deliver it to the GOI and explain completely the draft (this does NOT need to be approved by the GOI) but must sit in the parliment for 30 days. The draft was delivered to the GOI on Aug. 16th , today is the 30 day end.
[7:49:28 PM] Lindeco: we should see the new rate by Monday
[7:49:44 PM] Lindeco: Jerry on Franks call is saying tonight
[7:50:16 PM] Lindeco: Delta said mark his words, M will be gone, out of his position following the RV
[7:50:50 PM] Lindeco: this is why he's holding up the show, he knows hes done. He's trying to fill his pockets
[8:05:14 PM] Lindeco: also said on the call by Delta.......WB, IMF and UN has been put on alert that the CBI will be releasing the rate
88888888888888888888888
9/14 - 8:46 PM [..OKIE OIL MAN] I HAVE SAID IT ALL WHEN I SAID---IT IS FINISHED---DON'T BEAT A DEAD HORSE---ALL WE CAN DO IS WAIT FOR THE INEVITABLE--DETAILS ARE NOT NECESSARY ANYMORE---SOME THINGS ARE NOT TO EVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY---NOW BE SATISIFIED WITH THAT AS I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT----NO QUESTIONS----THEY AREN'T NECESSARY ANYMORE----RELAX ---SIT BACK---AND WAIT FOR IT TO APPEAR
A short time later, Okie (through Ghost, stated as a poorly veiled CLUE) urged members to pray for the RV to happen "after 10 PM in Hawaii on THURSDAY night." (Tonight)
It was Bear who mentioned a couple of days ago a CLASSIFIED document he'd obtained that specified Sept 15 as the DEADLINE for the RV happening.
Let's HOPE this is really the case.

these highlights are paraphrased-not word for word. they talk fast!!!!!!!!
On Frank's call tonight 9-15-11 :
The word latraga is a magic word!! In Arabic- It means there is no way back. No stopping it. No more delays. Dr. Shabibi gave the word. He did it. He notified all the world powers it is moving forward. There is no stopping it. It is done. Everything is submitted to IMF, all the Central Banks and authors of the Marshall.plan.
Delta says: Shabibi met with parliament 30 days ago without Maliki to show them the draft to RV . He needed a thumbs up- He got it. After 30 days then, Shabibi could RV. that was Aug. 15th. Maliki is mad. The CBI can legally by yesterday Sept. 15th-by law in the Constitition. CBI law. page 10 article 4. activate the RV. he is doing everything aaccording to law. no one can stop him. M tries to stop him-he could be arrested.
Maliki pulled his last fast one, his last delay. Hes about to be fired, washed up, gone. OUT OF POWER. Shabibi is stepping over Maliki.
Shabibi is fed up with him-M is doomed. M does not have the power. Shabibi does.
The lower denominations have all arrived at Warka banks. Employees are trained. The CBI doesn't care about secrecy anymore.
Delta says we can see it on any day-even holy days or Fridays or Saturdays. They can't wait anymore. Inflation is getting to high.
Inflation is our friend right now. Its a fact that why would the lower denoms be out in the banks and tellers trained, and law followed with parliament if he wasn't going to RV now.!!
In Dubai, a main transport hub of dinar out of the middle east, From Federal Express;: All who are dealing with Iraq currency-Beware because Dubai customs is confiscating Iraqi Dinar. This may dry up all supplies worldwide. Dinar may get very scarce. Deltas opinion is in Dubai, you could always exchange Iraqi Dinar everywhere. Why would they stop suddenly, unless they knew it was about to go up in value? Why confiscate them unless they do not want them to leave the Middle East right now.
Jerry comes on: The Central Banks in Europe fits that 30 day window that are helping out many countries in the EU. now. Jerry thinks it should be done tonight. he thinks it should RV a couple weeks before the last quarter in Iraq starts and the US fiscal year starts on Oct. 1st.
I had to go and missed the rest of the call. sorry about that:
The Central Bank of Iraq
