Recession Impacts Pt.2

     Last we left off I was still living under Douglas Dam in a tent.  It was no doubt cold now.  We where at the end of November, and the winter had come on.  I had managed to save enough money to rent a hotel room in a very low-budget hotel.  It was really bad.  Like Gatlinburgs' own little Harlem.  This hotel had a life of it's own.  I really missed the peace and quiet of the campground.  Imagine that.  All I heard all night was baby's crying and people fighting.  The cops where all ways there because of drugs, child neglect, you name it.  This place was $110.00 a week and really should be condemned by the city.  The worst part of it all is After a couple of weeks of being there I had began to drink and make other bad choices, as I fell in with the wrong crowd.  It just so happens to get a little busy during the holiday season in Gatlinburg.  I was making more money and had a roof over my head.  I could afford to eat and other than trying to feed all of the kids at the hotel was doing ok.  The problem is the parents that live in this place are usually drug dealers and drug addicts. They stay messed up and the kids end up doing with out.  It is a very sad situation in that particular place.
     I ended up staying there through the winter.  It was close to work and I just dealt with everything else.  I did gradually slip into becoming an alcoholic.  I still had all of my belongings in a storage unit and was having to make those payments as well.  Come the spring time in 2008 I was offered my old job back at the rental company.  Also with a raise.  Wow!!! I am on my way back up.  I knew this was my time to get back to that place that I was at.  So I started working for the rental company again.  I was making all kinds of money.  I eventually left the hotel as I could afford to pay rent on a better place.  I found a studio apartment that had 2 levels.  It was perfect.  It was $600 a month and I had my privacy back.  I was settled in by mid summer 08 and was going out drinking every evening.  I had made new friends again.  That's right I forgot about that Acquaintance area I created.  Seems like I forgot about a lot of things I had experienced.  Drinking everyday will do that.  My job performance did not suffer though.  I always maintained a level of professionalism and never drank on the job.  Things where great for the time being.  After a while my boss started making certain advances at me.  My boss was a female in a very difficult relationship.  I did not respond to the advances and it wasn't long till I was replaced and out the door.  Funny how that happens isn't it?  By this time though I was a full blown alcoholic and had just met my special someone.  Yep, I met the girl of my dreams.  I walked into a restaurant and she was the waitress.  We hit it off.  I didn't tell her I was an alcoholic, but she didn't tell me she was either.  We kind of found out about each other together,as  we moved in together within 2 weeks of meeting.  I started working at the RoadHouse again.  I was serving.  It wasn't so bad this time.  I noticed that there where more people starting to come on vacation.  I was making really good money as a server.  She was working as a server at another restaurant.  Things where only getting better.  Then all of a sudden we come home and there is an eviction notice on the door.  We paid our rent what was the problem?  I called the land lord and she said that since I didn't work at the rental company anymore that we could not live there anymore.  Wow once again.
     So she and I moved into a weekly hotel rental.  It was the fastest thing we could find that was in our budget.  However it was a much nicer hotel.  Still a weekly rental but on the other side of town.  A downgrade none the less.  We fell further into alcoholism.  No surprise there right.  I was promoted to bartender and my significant other started working at the Road House with me.  We where making a fortune.  Loved our jobs and was doing what we wanted to do.  We didn't bother anyone and didn't want to be bothered.  We stayed to ourselves and worked our butts off.  Also drank our butts off.
     Everything was going great.  We had plans to get another place in the next couple of months.  Things where really looking up.  All until I found out about an ABC sting that Sevier Co. does.  They came in when we where slammed out the door and I was the only bartender.  The guy sat down and asked for a beer.  At that moment I poured the most expensive beer I have ever had to buy.  When I set the beer down he stood up walked out the door and in less than 3 minutes I was whisked away to a private area in the restaurant.  The people waiting on me there where not nice at all.  I was cited for serving a minor.  The guy I served was 2 weeks from turning 21 and he was an undercover officer in training.  Needless to say I was in big trouble and unemployed again.  This time was going to be a little harder to find a job.  I also incurred a large amount of fines, Intensive Public Service, and on probation.  All on a first offense.  That's right.  Not even a speeding ticket was on my record.  Later I found out why I got slammed with all of that.  The judge I had also owns the probation offices and has a vested interest in the intensive public service program.  I would say there are some crooked things going on but who are you going to get to fight it.  So I was stuck with it and had to complete all of this, and also pay my fines.  All of this for going to work.  Minding my own business.  I learned about how our government really oporates.  I started learning from the guys who had been in the system a couple of times about the coruptness that go's on.  We paid all of this stuff off and I finished all the things the court had me to do.  Then we got the hell out of Gatlinburg.  We thought we would be able to find jobs in another town in North Carolina.  What a day that was when we pulled in to Asheville, NC.    That is where I am going to have to sign off.  I will be writing the next blog over the next couple of day's.  I hope you enjoy.

Recession Impacts

     We have all been feeling the crunch from the recession.  Why is this recession so much worse than any other  collapse in the markets?  Why does it seem that people all over the United States are only being taken advantage of?  Is this only happening in the US?  Of course not.  The rest of the world is feeling this as well.  However this is a true story that I am writing about how this recession has affected my friends and family personally.  I will be writing about events from the beginning of this recession up to this point. I am writing about the whole lot of it.  The good the bad and the ugly.  This will be released in a series of blogs that will show how things have changed and are changing.  So be sure to follow me and share your stories.  Together we can all take this nation back and put it in the people's hands.
     Here is a little personal information about myself.  I am 30 years old.  I work as a server for The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.  I was a very well trained HVAC technician before the recession hit.  I was in my very early 20's, and I was on top of the world.  I didn't drink alcohol.  I did smoke a little pot in the evenings though.  Never have done any hard drugs or pills.  Nope just an average guy, that's all.  I loved my job and was very good at it.  I enjoyed hunting and fishing.  I also did a lot of studio work as a musician.  Like I said, I was on top of the world!!!  So things where moving along great from 2001 to 2006.  I had moved to Gatlinburg, TN.  I was now working as a musician more full time than just as a studio musician, and I was working as a maintenance and housekeeping supervisor.  I had accomplished all of this and was doing very well for myself by the ripe old age of 25.  Then the recession hit and hit hard.  Tourism all but stopped and companies started closing down.  No one could afford to pay a band or even a single musician doing an acoustic gig.  Then the inevitable happened.  You guessed it,  I lost my job due to the company I worked for closing down.  This is where my story really begins.
     I was living in a very nice studio apartment.  My rent wasn't over the top.  I was only paying $500 a month for rent.  The electric bill was fairly low.  I didn't really have any other bills.  So I was on top with no debt.  Living the dream.  Well when I lost my job I wasn't to worried because I didn't really understand what was going on in this economy.  I figured I would just go out and find another job.  That is when I realized that this just got very hard to do.   I showed up at my first job interview, which was another Chalet rental company.  When I walked in there where at least 20 people there for the same job.  I couldn't believe it.  So I still wasn't discouraged to bad.  I thought this must be a really great company to work for.  It ended up they cut the interviews short and no one got hired that day.  I knew something was up then.  I went to apply for another job that was listed in the paper.  There where even more people there.  I started talking to people and finding out that a whole work force has been put on the unemployed list.  That is when I realized that I was going to have to start looking for the types of jobs that I did when I was younger.  So I finally found a job with a private electrician.  It was only part time and it was strictly for roughing in houses that where few and far between.  So I went back into bartending at night.  I just so happened to find a bartending job at a little hole in the wall bar that only served beer and whiskey.  Usually a bunch of dudes that where not thrilled to see a guy behind the bar.  I made it work for the time being though.  It didn't last long though.  I then went to serving.  I got on at the Texas Road House.  Now I am making less money than I have ever made and am very behind in my bills.  I would say about 3 month's behind in rent and final notice on all my other bills.  Well with tourism being down and server's only make $2.13 an hour.  People can't really afford to tip and the average bill at a Texas Road house is around $30.00.  That is for 2 people.  So you might get a $1.00 tip.  No matter how well you served them.  Imagine the frustration.
     I ended up loosing my apartment." Shocker".  I had no where to go and no money to get there.  I had 1 week to get out of my apartment.  I also only had 3 shifts that week.  They where not even week end shifts! So I made about $80.00 that next 3 days and I found a rental unit to store my things as I knew I could not afford to rent another place.  It costs me $50 to rent it.  Now I was down to $30 to get a place to stay and to buy food.  So I got my stuff moved in the storage unit and had to look at making some very tough living decisions.  I had no clue what I was going to do or where I was going to do it.  I had a small tent in the storage unit, so I grabbed that and went to a campground under the Douglas Lake Damn.  This was my new residence.  It was only $8 a night for me to put my tent up and use their bathroom facilities.  On the bright side I was next to a river that I could catch some food out of until I got to work again.  That was 4 more days away.  I got a fishing rod I had kept up with since I was a boy, and started fishing.  It was in the end of summer so it was still warm and bearable.  I caught enough fish to feed myself for those 4 day's.  I went back to work for my shift and made about $50.  I was a little relieved.  I could afford to stay another week. I could also afford to eat something other than fish cooked over an open flame.  I worked the next 3 shifts and made about $120.   That was such a relief.  I didn't have to worry about getting evicted from the camp grounds.  It is amazing what you can come to appreciate.  Life had changed for me in a really rough way.  After about 3 weeks at the campgrounds it was turning colder and I had managed to save about 100 bucks. I was making about $100 a week.  Not enough to even afford a cheap weekly rental hotel.  So the sobering reality of having to face the elements of winter had become a reality that I was not ready to handle.  I questioned a lot of things about myself.  I blamed myself for being in this situation.  I could not believe that I had fallen so far so fast.  It was getting colder and that is when it is the slowest at the restaurant.  For the second time in my life I really did not know what to do.  I was scared and alone.  For someone who once had a ton of friends that called on him all the time, I couldn't call on any of them.  I learned another lesson at that point.  Friends seem to be there as long as the money is there and when it's gone so are they for the most part.  That is when a new department in my life opened up called ACQUAINTANCES.  This category is where the new people in my life go before we ever even think about using the friend word.  Back to the story.  I was in the ending of fall and it was cold now.  People where looking at me like I was crazy for staying there in a tent.  I was clean shaved and I showered everyday.  I didn't look like Grizzly Adams.  I still had nice clothes and presented myself well.  I think that is what made people wonder.  I looked and dressed like the people in the nice motor homes, but lived in a tent, and as much as I tried to hide it looking back everyone that come through could see that was my residence.  I had a 1982 yellow and rust colored.  Mostly rust.  I used to drive a four runner but had to trade it because I couldn't afford to run it.  I traded it for that little yellow beast.  I still think I came out on top of that trade though.  Maybe not monetary value so much, but that truck and my living situation humbled me.  I saw the not so good in life and still maintained a positive attitude.  I had a lot of time to think, and every night I could here my grandmother say things don't stay the same forever.  She was right.  I will be writing the next part of this epic adventure over the next couple of day's.  Thank you for reading and I hope that stick around for the next part of to many peoples realities.

Lifestyle Movement

     Every generation is caught in a lifestyle movement.  Things change drastically over 15 years.  The parents are no longer hip to the young crowd, although these days parents aren't much older then their children.  Not so much different than if we look back just to the early 1900's.  I have found that most women in 1905 had their children at the ripe old age of their late teens and early 20's.  The women in those day's also had as many children as they could bear.  It was a more innocent age when the man provided for the family and the women had the hard tasks of keeping the home together.  It must have been difficult to feed 5 to 8 kids plus yourself and your husband and anyone else that came by passing through.  It was a different time then with different morals and values.  The smaller things in life are what really mattered.  Owning a piece of land for a homestead for the family.  These where the things that where affordable and business was done with honor.  It wasn't until the 1940's when big business came in and immediately after that big government came in and got their hands in with businesses.  Ever since then morals and values have been altered and all together changed.

With the business boom that happened from 1930-1970.  There was a movement of money.  People had money in their pockets, a great family, a home, a fenced in front yard, and a job that paid well.  Even if they liked it or not, it did provide for an affordable mortgage and also put food on the table without having to worry so much.  The 40's, 50's, and 60's where a golden era in time when the values of our American leaders ran in a high regard.


     These images are not from a time so long ago.  These are just from
the 1950's.  Just looking at them brings up feelings of purity from a
decent and pure time.  When television was clean and commercials
didn't advertise the indecent things that are seen on television today.
You can cut on prime time television any time of the day and see ads
that pushing sex, drugs, and alcohol.  24 hours a day these commercials
are streamed all over the world.  Children are forced to learn of things
that they shouldn't have to know about until they are teens.  The
unfortunate part of that is, we can never get that back.  All we can do
is censor the things our children watch.  That is the problem though.  Why should adults even be subjected to the filth and garbage that is spewed out at us.  In the 60's and 70's a 1 hour show was exactly that.  There was no 25 commercials every 8 minutes.  Which if you do the math we watch more commercials than actual show.  That is where our lifestyle changes have brought us.  Religion has been all but removed from the schools and the government.  Religion and honor is what these things where built on.  Now our schools teach you how to get over on someone else.  What are we setting our future generations up for if we have pushed the envelope this far in this short of a time.  In 20 years will porn on Prime time television be acceptable.  Where will this end.  I think it ends with each individual parent.  I think if we allow our children to be subjected to these principals or lack there of, then it is our own fault for what we will have allowed to happen.
     It is not that hard to set parental controls.  With all of this great technology comes an even greater power.  We have the technology to set time locks now, and block all kinds of things.  Of course kids will be kids and find ways around it.  That is what they do.  It is our jobs to check up on them.  These days you can check the memory of the television to see what has been watched that day.  All it takes is the time to be responsible with the technology that we are placing in front of our children.  If we provide it we must be responsible for it.
     Can you believe there was a time when music bands played real instruments and used their natural voices to produce music.  They worked hard at their craft and learned their instruments.  They didn't just sample things together and use auto-tune for their vocals.  They really played and sang to their audiences.  They where true artists.  In fact the beats that are being sampled where laid down by a real musician who will probably never make it because the people today want to here what someone has dubbed together and called their own.  It is fairly horrible what has happened to the entertainment industry.  As we can see every time we turn on the news.  It is always some teenager or even now some actors who have been around for a while making absolute fools out of themselves.  It is like Hollywood is playing one large game of
swaparoo.  Everyone marries everyone and drugs and alcohol use in public are almost coming to be accepted as the normal thing to do.  These are the people that our future leaders are watching and following.  
     All of these problems stem back to the government.  They are the ones who censor what we are allowed to see.  It seems as though they are censoring the things they don't want us to see, such as the real news that happens everyday.  Prime time news now covers the latest of what the newest reality stars are doing.  They are not telling us where all of our money has gone or is going.  They can't even get the weather right 90% of the time.  That is the weather forecasts that are released from a government controlled weather media station.  All we need our government to censor is the reality junk.  That is a dumbing down of our culture.  We are force fed stuff that has nothing to do with the world and even what roll we are playing in it.  I remember my grandfather telling me how the government used to report what was really happening and men discussed real world events at lunch.  So where does that leave us?  Just tell the government no.  You will not let them dumb our nation down.  Tell them that we want to know where we stand in the world matched up against other countries.  Ask them why no one can get financed for a house now.  After that realize that we are the ones who give them the power, and we are the ones who can demand results.  We can change the line up.  There are 500 people that make up the congress and senate.  There are millions of people represented by that little number of people.  You decide where the change go's from here. Thank you for reading.

Lifestyles Today Compared to YesterYear

     How much has our lifestyles changed over the past decade?  How much has it changed over the past 50 years?  Quite a bit right.  In some areas of life that is a fact, but in some way's have we evolved at all or are we just reverting to survival instincts?  Now that times have become so hard on everyone, we are seeing families moving back in together just to pay the bills and have a roof over our heads.  I know because I am speaking from first hand experience.  My whole immediate family has had to move back in together.  Not because we are not smart well trained individuals, but because bills are only going up and jobs are only going down.  I was a very well trained and certified HVAC repairman.  Ten years ago I was making plenty of money, and so was the rest of my family.  My father has been in industry management for his whole life.  Over 40 years in upper management.  Can't find a job.  This is happening all over America.  What does a person do who has dedicated their life to one industry and the industry doesn't want them anymore because of economic difficulties?  When you where making a certain amount of money and now you have to work for 1/2 of that or even a 1/4.  With the way bills are today, how do you keep your head above water?  The answer is the same as it has always been.  Families come together and make it happen.
     It is not uncommon to see a family of 6 or 7 living together now.  That is just how difficult it has become.  What has put us in this position?  That answer is simple.  There are thousands of highly trained people that are voicing out that they are able and willing to work.  There are just no jobs to be found.  So you have to take a job you know nothing about and just hope and wait for something better.  Just ten years ago if you wanted to better yourself you just needed to apply for a job and you would more than likely get an opportunity to improve.  That is just not the case in today's society.  I my self have had to resort to serving and bartending.  It is not the most glamorous job out there, but I have come to realize that I love making people happy.  In the A/C industry I was mostly by myself and didn't interact with the mass public.  Now I have been thrust into the spotlight so to speak.  It is quite a rush I must say, but there are very few to almost no laws that govern the serving industry.  So Servers and Bartenders are worked 12 to 15 hours a day in most cases with no breaks.  This work is done on your feet moving quickly and carrying 25 to 40 pounds every 4 minutes on average.  I know, I do it.  I work for a large corporate restaurant.  You wouldn't believe how hard servers have to work.  Then you have to deal with getting stiffed.  I guess the mass population doesn't realize that servers only make $2.00 and hour.  That is right.  When a server gets a check, 90% of the time it states ( This is not a Check) across it.  The craziest thing is, 75% of the people I work with have masters degrees from very well known universities.  These are the people who are coming into the serving industry with huge amounts of debt and they have little to no serving experience at all.  They often times have  a complete misconception of what the serving industry is all about.  People who have masters degrees in amazing fields can't pass the training of a restaurant a lot of times.  Then many times people just can't handle the pressure.  Either way you get the idea, or are living the same scenario that I have just laid out.
     What I am getting to here is that there are 1000's upon 1000's of people out of work who are more than willing at this point to go back to work in their professional fields.  Jobs are going out of country.  Industries are moving away for cheaper labor and little to no taxes.  Why are they doing this I wonder quietly to my self?  Because the government has made it possible.  If you take a little trip through political history you will find that the politicians that are running this country are heavily invested into all of these companies.  Remember that Goldman Sax issue with them getting bailed out.  Why did they get bailed out?  Because the people running our government where invested and made fortunes to turn their heads while these big businesses ran rampant through the little guy's pockets.  They financed things that people could never afford. Property values where through the roof.  Things where great for the people on top while the people like us on the bottom have slowly watched America descend to the point that we are at now in this day in time. So it is very easy to see who is to blame here.  Our own Leaders.  All we can do is ban together as we are seeing done with the Occupy Wall Street Movement.  It is time to take America back and create some wealth of our own.
     Did you know that a Senator makes $174,000 a year.  Not to mention their little side investments.  That is where the money is.  It is a great time to be in the business of being a politician.  You would have the power to pass the laws that pertain specifically to the businesses that you are invested in.  Why not.  That gives them the power to control the outcome for each industry.  Lets not talk about the charitable donations that come from the companies that these politicians are invested in.  So we see how this is all tied in together.  It is not hard to connect the dots.
     We can get things back to where they where or better if we come together and change the line-up.  There are only 500 people who are elected to represent millions.  Many of these people have been in their positions for over 40 years.  How is it that you can only be president for a certain term and Congressmen and Senators can spend their whole life in the ultimate position of power.  It is time for change if we want to take back our country and what it was founded on.  I do know that doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is the definition of insanity.  So if you are doing nothing to change your situation you are missing the boat and it is time to be a part of a change.  Thank you for reading and I welcome any and all comments.
   We also have our own designs of clothing and apparel.  Here are just a couple of things we have for sale.  All apparel can be found at The Social Buy Spot.

Dinar Investment

     Wow are we getting closer to Iraq and it's currency becoming internationally recognized.  So much great news is coming out of Iraq, even as we speak.  Everyday is headline after headline about monetary policy, and the Iraqi government finishing all the things that we have been watching for years now.  They are close to being done with the HCL laws, and just today the security ministries have changed hands from Maliki to the heads of the security block.  For over a year now Maliki has managed the security port-folio by proxy.  That means he assumed all responsibility for any security issues in Iraq.  Now selecting these ministers has been assigned to the  heads of the security blocks.  Almost immediately after reading that article another came out that stated that the House of Representatives has a list of qualified candidates to fill these positions.  I would say that we will see a resolve to the securities in a week or two.  Keep in mind that almost everything being finalized has to do with the US troops pulling out.
     Yesterday we saw an article released from the CBI more directly from Shabibi that stated that when most of the troops have pulled out and Iraq is an independent nation he will allow the value of the Dinar to rise.  What does that mean? That means that after the troops are gone we will get our RV.  Shabibi also released that Iraq has the highest reserves in currencies than it has ever had in it's history.  That is a huge gain to our investment.  The reserves are what Iraq is going to pay for the RV in.  The higher the better.  I would expect to see the lower denominated currency to start being released.  That and the RV also go hand in hand.  I would not worry about Kuwait to much as they are out of reasons (excuses) to keep Iraq under Chapter 7 sanctions. All Kuwait is  doing is trying to keep Iraq from surpassing them as the leading nation in the middle east.  Well they are out of excuses and the UN is tired of hearing it.  On top of all of that, Iraq paid another 1 billion dollars to Kuwait today.  It was released through the UN to pay Kuwait.  There are to many pro's to be negative at this point.  Maliki is playing ball just as we thought he would once all of the hoopla was over.  Now he seems to be our number one person in getting the government together.  Coincidence I think not.  This is all planned and master scripted.  Who is pulling the strings though?  That would be the leaders of the world banks and the UN.  They hold all of the cards and are releasing them as quickly as possible now.
     If anyone thinks this will not be the largest transfer of wealth in history then I would suggest just reading a little news.  You will quickly find that Iraq will be the strongest nation in the middle east and nothing at this point will stop that.  They are making leaps and bounds now.  Which they should as the world is waiting on Iraq to open up for business.  Once we see the RV we will see tons of investment in Iraq.  We are seeing a lot right now, but this is nothing compared to what is to come.  The ISX will do amazing things almost over night and there will be a lot to be gained in Iraq.  So just hold on and continue being patient.  That is what 90% of all investments are, PATIENCE.   We are nearing this finish line very quickly, so be prepared and plan for what need and what you want.  Yes they are 2 different things entirely.  Thank you so much for reading and I hope this has made someones day a little better. Keep in mind that our Occupy Wall Street apparel is for sale and so is our Knuckle Kidz apparel.  You can check it out at The Social Buy Spot.  Thank you once again for taking your time to spend with us today.

      We have seen a lot of things get finalized in the past few weeks.  We have seen the continual withdrawal of troops from Iraq.  This is a major move when it comes to Iraq being a sovereign nation and internationally recognized.  Iraq has been doing a lot of work since they have been on vacation.  No surprise there.  They always do seem to get the most done when they are on vacation.  So I look at this vacation just like the last one.  Things are going to get done and when they do come back in to session be it an emergency meeting or what ever they do.  All there will be to do is to vote and pass the laws that need to be passed.
     We saw today the 21st of October, President Obama come on television and hold a press conference stating that troops have been being withdrawn from Iraq, and all troops will be home before Dec. 25th.  He also stated that he spoke directly with Maliki today and they agreed to finalize the Strategic Framework Agreement.  Also Obama stated that Iraq is a fully sovereign nation that takes responsibility for it's own security.  That means that they are in control of themselves.  That is what we have been waiting on to be recognized.  With our troops fully pulling out and Iraq in charge of their own future, they must be released from Chapter 7 sanctions.  These sanctions are the only thing that have kept them from being internationally recognized.  All of this ties directly into the RV.  
      Now there are a lot of articles that have come out in the past couple of weeks that pertain to the removal/deletion of the (000"s).  Does it mean LOP or are they going to do a straight RV and remove the large notes over time?   Isn't that the question of questions.  We can hash this out till the cows come home.  What I will say is Iraq is not going to lop the currency.  They do not need to nor will they as that will turn away all major investors that are pumping money into Iraq.  A lop would mean that Iraq is not in control of their monetary controls.  Also the major investors in Iraq are looking to see pay off for investments made long ago.
      When it comes to a time frame, I believe that Obama gave us a date to look for in his speech.  By the first of the year.  That is only 2 more months away so we will wait and see.  If Iraq is to be completely sovereign then they will have to have a currency that will reflect the strength of the country and 1170 isn't going to make the cut.  I personally look for this to pop by Thanksgiving as do others who are much smarter than I am.  However if it does not then I will be looking to the 1st of the year.  Either way, you can bet that you made a great investment and it will pay off.  
      Also there have been to many delegations that have been visiting Iraq.  We are not talking about the regular government delegations, these delegations are from the UN and major Central Banks.  China has a group over in Iraq right now working with the government and the CBI to get Iraq where they need to be in order to work to work internationally.  There are also delegations from USA, France, Europe, and countries that we thought would never have anything to do with Iraq.  Needless to say Iraq is well on it's way to achieving all of it's goals and aspirations that make it a functioning part of this world.  The UN is releasing articles almost on a daily basis that pertain directly to Iraq fulfilling it's obligations to the international community.  Also I saw an article that stated Iraq has held a meeting with many of the countries that they owe and have reduced the amount owed to each country to a number that both parties agreed to.  With that being done we may be able to see Iraq pay off it's debts and that may also be what is keeping Iraq in these sanctions.  I will be willing to bet that debt's play a large roll in these sanctions still being in place.  Remember it all ties in together.  The more this is unraveling the more I think this has been a well orchestrated and thought out plan that is coming together just as it was written.  The timing of everything is just to cohesive for their not to have been master orchestrators  behind the scenes pulling the strings.  Who could these people be to have this much power?  That is really easy to answer.  All one has to do is follow the money.  Then follow the power names in the world.  You always come to the same people.  These are the people who started the FED, BIS, UN, World Reserves, Central Banks, and NATO.  It always comes back to the same names. Rothchild's, Bernanke's, these types of people.  It's not that far fetched.  He who controls the money controls the world.  At least that is the way I have heard it always said and when their is major news breaking with the financial world these names are always at the forefront.  Just a little food for thought.  Have a great day and smile at someone,  maybe even say Hi, How are you?  Thank you for reading.

     There have been a few articles that have come out today from the CBI.  One of which is stating that all mechanisms are in place to execute the removal of the zero's.  Though there is speculation on this and what it actually means.  That is pertaining to a LOP or just to pull in the existing notes with 3 zero's.  I and many others who have been doing this for a long time and have studied currencies and how it works, believe that the CBI will raise the notes that are in existence.  The IMF is also there with their hot shot team to get this thing done. 
     The government has also stated that they will read the draft laws for the 2nd time.  That could possibly give Shabibi the go ahead to implement the new monetary policy, thus giving us the RV.  It is amazing how everything is playing out.  This investment is coming to an end.  Although there will be new ones that are already on the horizon.  One of which is the VND. That is Vietnam's currency.  They are on the way to having a very strong nation and currency.  It may very well be a 10 year investment, but for the price why not?  I will be doing a blog in the coming future to explain more.  Thank you for reading.

Making Money Investing in Currency

     Making money in currency is and can be quite lucrative.  I have found that it is really a timing and patience type of investment.  It doesn't really matter which currencies you buy if you invest at certain times of the year.  Let's take the EUR/USD for ex.  The Eur and USD are suffering from a very bad economical disaster really.  So how can you make money from these currencies?  I am going to answer that for you by explaining how it all works.  What you would want to do is take $1000 and open a Forex Acct. That is the hardest part of it all.  Keep in mind you can close the account at any time and can get your money back.  Now that you have your Forex Acct. set up, you will want to look the currency trends in a moving average chart.  Select the timeline that is set up for at least 3 years.  This way you can see what the markets did in the same month's in the previous years.  This will give you something to set your timeline by.  For each person their timeline will be different.  You will select the currency pairing that you wish to trade against.  I prefer the USD/EUR.  I also like to invest during the times when I see that the market has made major up trends in the the previous years.  Though that is a little harder to do right now the average will still run in the same margins.  I will hold for the timeline I have set for myself, and nearing the end of the timeline I will really start paying attention to the way the currency is reacting to the economic situation. 
     Knowing When to Sale  
     Knowing when to sale is just as crucial as knowing when to buy.  It is really a feeling.  You know that economies do their best during their holidays.  So find what holidays that the country you are investing in is.  Get their dates, and look at moving average timelines.  Those are guides that never lie.  Think about it, around November everyone starts buying for Christmas right?  So why not invest in the USD by buying it in EUR.  This way you will make money on the uptrend of those few months.  Pretty easy huh.  So pay attention to when the currencies tend to fall off at the end of holiday's and major developments.  Like I said,"It takes time for any investments to pay off".  This is just one way to make a substantial amount of money over a few months.  Also pay attention to major tourists times in each country.  I hope this has helped someone who may have been wondering how this is done.  Thank you for reading.

     Wow what a turn of events that has taken place over the past couple of day's.  Mr. Alaiwi has resigned.  It is official.  That means that there is no one to hinder Maliki now.  With Alaiwi out of the way Maliki will get everything he wants.  As of now it looks as if that is working out to our benefit.  Maliki is promising everything under the sun now.  He has called parliament back into session on their holly day to vote on the draft law of federal court.  Also to vote on the supreme judicial council.  Looks like Maliki is working  to get everything done and give everyone what they want.  Maliki has held a meeting with the Kurdistan representatives.  In that meeting Maliki vowed to implement all the agreement pertaining to Erbil.  That is a huge one.  We are watching things wind down nicely now. 
     The Kurdish Diplomats also released a press statement that said they have just finished negotiations and talks with all of the political blocks.  They referred to these talks as very positive and successful.  The Negotiations team will write up a report and a delegation will be sent to finalize and implement all of the agreements.  That also includes all agreements Erbil.
     IMF   
     The IMF has released a press statement that states the IMF is showing it's conviction for the financial policy of Iraq.  Basically what they are saying is that they are ready to increase the reserves and that they have the money to support an increase in the the value of the Iraqi Dinar.  It also shows that the CBI is ready to make a move in the Monetary Policy to support the private sector and lower inflation.  These are huge things being accomplished at a very fast speed.  We are in a great place to see things happening by Thanksgiving. 
     With Maliki having full run of the government now, the CBI will seize the opportunity to strike while things are moving forward positively in the government.  The government could be finalized as soon as this week.  That would give Iraq the power it needs to remove the final sanctions of Chapter 7.  That is as long as they keep their mouth's closed about Kuwait.  Don't forget, the reason that they are still in chapter 7 is because of Kuwait.  Iraq must let it go with the Kuwaiti's.  Peace and prosperity is their new horizon. They must accept that. 
     Najafi is going to London Sunday on an official visit, and will be accompanied by a foreign delegation.  Though the direct reason for the visit is still unknown at this time.  The meeting will have some type of direct impact on the investment into Iraq.  As soon as the the meetings are concluded Najafi and his delegation will go to Berne to participate in a World Conference of Parliaments.  All of the news has been very exciting and things are moving along very quickly.  Let's just hope that Iraq can stay the course and make things happen.  I hope this has helped in making things a little clearer up to this date.  I would also like to thank you for reading.

Dinar Investment 10/5/2011

     A lot of news has come out since my last post.  These said meetings that I have been talking about have taken place and there have been many agreements set in place.  There have been several articles that have been released that tell us that the RV is just around the corner.  So we will get right into it then.
     1: The Currency Oversight Reform Act.   
     This whole law is directed at countries that undervalue their currency.  The continued undervaluing of a currency makes it unfair to trade internationally, thus it makes inflation run out of control.  We will take China for example.  China has undervalued it's currency for many, many years.  As a result the US has not had a way to keep up in the fair markets.  So in turn China is making a lot of money off of every American sale that takes place in China.  Where as in America when something is bought that came from China, then China is still making more money than they should.  That money has to be turned into their currency and then sent to China.  America is loosing money when they convert the currencies either way it go's.  So America is stopping that by enacting this law which carries penalties and consequences for countries that under value their currency. 
     This is where Iraq fits into the equation.  Iraq has a currency that is worth 1140 to 1 US dollar.  If Iraq continues to keep their currency at that rate that it is, then they will in turn be doing the same thing that China is doing.  It will only be worse because Iraq will be dealing in oil.  Everyone in the world needs oil.  So yes this law will apply directly to Iraq, and any other country that doesn't keep their currency updated.
     2: The Successful meeting of the Political Blocks.
     The meeting between Talabani and the leaders of all of the blocks went very well.  The blocks have agreed to security issues and are implementing all of the agreements Erbil.  This is very big as long as everything holds up.  Don't forget that the UN has given Iraq until Dec. 30 2011 to get everything done.  The CBI says it does not have that long.  By then the inflation will be to high.  Also street vendors are raising their prices in expectation of a currency shift.  The new tax laws also have a lot to do rising prices. These are all great things that support economic growth and stability.  They also agreed to have the US stay and train the Iraqi military.  That means the final sanctions can be lifted because Iraq will be allowed to be a sovereign nation and still have the training and protection from Iran that it will need. 
     Now keep in mind.  I am not saying it will RV tomorrow.  I just simply post the news and what it means.  They are giving us a timeline on their own.  We are very close and things will start becoming much easier to understand as we get even closer.  There are still more meetings that have to be had, but they will get this finished.  Iraq is learning how to do this for the first time, and there is a lot of pressure coming from everywhere.  I want to thank you for reading and I hope this has helped.

Iraqi Dinar Investment 10/4/2011

     Today we have seen lots of information coming out.  There have been meetings going on, and these are very high top level meetings.  As I said in my last blog, the UN has given Iraq specific instructions to get everything done and now.  The UN will not allow for anything less.  There is a currency over haul that has to happen and now.  The Dinar is just the beginning of all of it.  With all of these meetings going on about the security situation and oil and gas laws that must be passed.  We see that Iraq is under an immense amount of pressure.  When I say Iraq I am mainly referring to the government.  The time for Iraq to strike has come and gone, so we are in extreme overtime.
     At this moment there is a delegation headed to Iraq from Kurdistan, a region of Iraq, and they are on the way to deal directly with the security ministries and oil and gas laws.  This meeting will resolve all outstanding issues or there will be a vote of no confidence.  There will be a ton of new information coming out this week.  A lot of it will be directly misleading.  The government if all go's accordingly will get all the major issues finished this week and we could see some major financial sector overhauling start.  
     The CBI is releasing articles again today stating it is time to implement the deletion of the 3 zero's.  There is a lot of speculation going on over the deletion of the zero's.  Some say this means to LOP the currency.  could they do that?  Absolutely.  Will they do that?  Highly doubtful.  The Iraqi government does not want a lop.  The affiliates that make up the government also hold a lot of ( IQD)  and they would stand to loose as much as investors.  With a little luck the government will make sure that the CBI will do the right thing as they are not in any type of hyper-inflation.  There is no need for a lop.  That is plain and simple.  Now a re-denomination is a completely different animal.  An RD could mean lower denominations will be released and the old currency phased out.  That would be great.  Iraq would get lower denom's and we would see an increase in the value.  So as you can see there are several ways this could play out.  Keep your emotions under control.  Whatever is going to happen will happen soon, one way or another.
    

Dinar Recap 10/1/2011

     The Iraqi Dinar is strongly favored move up in a very short time.  Today we have seen the UN release a statement directing Iraq to get it's political hoopla finished.  The UN told Iraq in this release to finish the security ministries and all outstanding issues now.  We see Talibani is in Iraq now with his delegation and is holding meetings on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to finish the political deadlock.  They have released that the securities will be addressed, finished and seated.  The oil and gas law will also be completed and all outstanding issues that pertain to the Erbil agreement will be finished and implemented.  So as you can see all of these things are what is holding up everything.  All of these issues have been timely issues, because of the fighting for power that has been going on in the government.  Miliki has been pushed into that preverbial corner and has no more excuses.  Talibani has stated that there has been a delegation appointed to solve all of the issues by votes instead of allowing the government to continually fledge on agreements.  So there have been alternate provisions that have been made in case these meetings fail.  I do not believe that the meetings will fail though.  It seems that the government realizes that their time has run out and are starting to move on things very quickly as to not let it go to any further.
     We also have articles that state Iraq recognizes 236 Kuwaiti corpses.  Now doing some digging there are articles from April that Kuwait sent to Iraq about Chapter 7 sanctions.  These articles stated that if Iraq would acknowledge the corpses that came from the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, then Kuwait would give the go ahead to release the final sanctions on Iraq.  So this is incredible news.  The final sanctions lifted would liberate Iraq and all things would fall into place perfectly in order for Iraq to gain it's power and riches back.  This could very well be the month that Iraq's currency will be given it's true value.  With all of these meetings going on and the UN stepping in and ordering Iraq to finish everything, I would say that things are shaping up very nicely.  Thank you for reading and I hope this has brought about some clarity or even a little hope that Iraq will be strong again and very soon.

     As you can see movement is being made in leaps and bounds at this point.  Yes Miliki is still doing what he does best, Nothing.  So I should expect to see some kind of governmental movement to strike Miliki if he doesn't start playing ball with everyone else.  This is great news though and here is another article that further states what is going on.

     I have also read today that Vice Pres. Biden is in Iraq right now discussing the further withdrawal of the U.S. troops.  He is also over there to get things done with the government.  He is going to set Miliki and his cronies straight and get this ball rolling faster.

      Now we know that a certain number a U.S. military has to be drawn down in order to become a fully sovereign nation.  This will in turn support the release of chapter 7 sanctions and thus make the Iraqi Dinar gain value in the international community.  Once the Dinar is recognized internationally there is no way to stop it from gaining in value.  The only question in my mind is, are they going to R.V. or are they going to put it out and let it gain value on it's own against the other currencies that are internationally traded?  I personally believe that there will be an R.V.  If Iraq where to put their currency out at a value of 1170 then the inflation will run rampant and all will have been for nothing.  Therefore they will need to at least get equal to the U.S. Dollar.  This will curb the inflation and give the Dinar a true start to gaining value. 
     So many people are just waiting on the R.V. of the Dinar.  There will be %80 of investors cashing out, but is that really the best thing to do?  Maybe, Maybe not.  That is something each investor will have to decide for themselves.  Let's say that the Dinar comes out equal to a U.S. dollar.  That will be quite a substantial gain on investment.  However the Dinar will go up in value considerably after it is traded internationally.  Iraq has stated that it will be the richest country in the middle east.  To do that Iraq will have to raise the value of the Dinar to almost $4.00 to one U.S. Dollar.  That is the only way for Iraq to lead the Middle East in to the future.  Pretty simple right.  All it takes on the investors behalf is patience.  The Dinar will have value again.  We just do not know exactly when.
     There has been talk about Iraq raising the zero's in 2013.  That is just misdirection to curb speculation.  A quick search will show that the currency auctions held everyday are actually designed to pull in the large denominations.  These large denom's are being destroyed, thus showing us that the CBI is and has been taking steps to remove the U.S. dollar from their country and to support the Dinar as the in country currency.  So once again be patient and great things come to those who wait. 
     Thank you for reading and I sincerely hope this has provided some clarity amongst a seemingly chaotic scene in Iraq.  Remember misdirection is what is supposed to be put out to curb  speculation. 

Stock Investments A Thing Of The Past?

     Stocks were at one time a very sound investment.  Businesses were, for the most part, honest, and things were very transparent.  Then came the greed, and things went south.  I can't even say how fast stocks plummeted in just a 3 day period.  So many people got crushed.  Completely wiped out.  It was the worst financial week in history.  We have not even come close to rebounding.  There hasn't even been a steady growth in stocks.  In fact, part of the New York Stock house was sold out to another country.  It all seems pretty bleak, with no horizon in sight.  That is how so many see the financial future of stocks and bonds.  There are a lot of shady companies out there who are waiting to take your money and run.  That is a truth which is indisputable.  Penny Stocks seem to be the new thing.  Fast return on investment.  A much larger risk, of course.  I know I paint a pretty dark picture.  I see down the road a long way, though.  I see a lot of light at the end of this tunnel.  Stocks are at rock bottom so there is no better time to invest than right now.  They are only going to go up.  The government is restructuring to give America an adrenaline shot to the financial market.  Why do you think the government bailed out all of those big businesses?  We can't let them go down because those are the types of industries that built America.  Those are the big boys who created stocks to trade and invest in.
     What kind of stocks are safe bets to invest in?  That really depends on you and what you have to spend, versus time to invest.  You can always follow the government and invest in the car companies.  They will be seeing a lot of growth over the next 10 years.  You could also invest in phone companies.  Technology and social media are big money and will have a place in the world markets forever.  These are just a couple of suggestions.  I have personally invested in a couple of auto maker's stocks that became public, and in just six months have seen a 35% growth on my investment.  If things continue on upward through the first of the year I may be very near a 60% growth on my initial investment.  That is cold hard profits there.  So I say invest, but be very smart.  Do some research and even spend a little money for advice.  There are some really great investment programs that are starting to come on the scene, and they are showing all the old investment guys a few new tricks.  I highly recommend Stock Picks Systems.  These guys are incredible.  They really show you how and when to get into stocks that are geared for every individual's personal comfort level.  That is really where it is all going to anyway.  Back in the day, the investor didn't worry about what the trader was doing with their money.  Everyone was making money.  Now this is a more savvy world and people want to have a say about what their money is going into and being used for.  It is all about peace of mind in the long run.
Stock Market Forecasting Software is another way that the pros have found for projecting what stocks will do.  It is your money and it is up to you keep up with what your money is doing.  Even if you are paying someone to invest it for you.  You only have yourself to blame if you don't at least have some kind of knowledge of what is going on.  Another way to go about educating yourself on stock investments is to take a Premium Stock Training Course.  For the money, this is also a great place to start and come out investing like a pro.  You will be completely prepared after taking this training course.  I often revert back to it to brush up on being able to see odd balls coming.  Like all investments you want to minimize loss and maximize gain.  The only true way to do this is knowledge.  I will surely spend $100 to make $1500.
This is not some kind of ancient Greek language that only certain people speak.  This is something everyone can and should do.

Iraqi Dinar Investment

      I  have addressed the Iraqi Dinar several times.  I have been being asked what my stance on it and a few other currencies are as of right now.  Iraq has been seeing substantial growth in the past 2 month's.  So much so that it is getting hard for the big boy's to turn away.  It is almost becoming transparent as to what is going on with the government vs. the bank.  Now we are seeing the government vs. themselves again with some very serious withdrawal of confidence vote talk.  I do not believe that there will be a withdrawal of confidence from Miliki.  This is a lot of posturing for power.  The thing to be worried about is Miliki trying to gain control of the funds in the bank.  Mr. Shabibi has worked very hard to get to this point and now right at the end Miliki is throwing the wrench in the whole process.  To know what is truly going on you must look way back and know that Miliki is an Iran freak and will do anything that they want him to do.  There in lies the problem.  A different government has stepped in for the U.S. with a different vision of what this can be made into for there own benefits.  That's right the big (D"s).  That may not be so bad though.  The (Dems) are just not as aggressive with getting things done over seas.  It is just how it is.  Now Miliki has been able to really implement his Iranian influenced kinks.  So we are left with Barzani to clean up the mess.  Miliki will not budge. Of-course Miliki will promise them everything to their faces, and when they get in parliament he completely does the opposite.  This will happen until he is out of office, so lets get back to the monetary movement in Iraq.  
      The money of Iraq has to go up in value, and down in supply.  Basic needs of goods from the citizens is causing this to happen.  Forget what other countries currencies are doing.  Other economies play a different type of big role in this.  As of now just concentrate on the needs of Iraq.  They need a viable currency.  The world is calling for it so that the price of gas and other things that Iraq can supply will go down.  This will help economies in it's own right.  Furthermore the citizens are calling for it.  They want to have at least the basics.  Affordable food and water.  They want electricity.  Things are happening on a lightning fast blaze in the money market side of things in Iraq.  There are articles everyday coming out from the (CBI) that are all saying that now is the time.  What will the value be?  Isn't that the million dollar question?  All I can say is what is able to be supported.  That is by taking into account public information.  Reserves, auctions, projections, budget allocations.  When you take all of this into account you see that Iraq can support up to a 3.40 to 3.70 rate.  Will they revalue that high?  So many say yes, so many say no.  I would greatly appreciate your opinion this.  Leave a comment and answer if you think yes or no.  What rate do you think Iraq will come out with?  Will they (LOP)?
     That last one was a big one I know.  Let me tell you something now.  Shabibi will not lop.  There in no way will be a lop.  I can tell you that there are not enough large notes out there to support a lop.  There for inflation is not in the hyper flavor.  There will not be a lop.  The other countries that have invested in Iraq through the Dinar will not allow that to happen.  I personally do not know what Iraq will come out at, but I know that what ever it is, I will make a lot of money on this investment.  Even if I have to wait another 6 years for it to reach the value that I am willing to sell at.  Keep in mind this is an investment and almost all investments take time.  The progress that is taking place in Iraq at this point further supports my belief in the Iraqi Dinar and many other currencies and emerging economies that are great investments also.  We will talk about those in a few more days.
     The sanctions that where placed on Iraq are all almost completely lifted.  This is very huge as to how it ties into Iraq being a completely sovereign nation.  With those sanctions gone Iraq will be able to buy things that their military needs to defend itself.  This is exactly what Iraq has to have in order for their currency to be viable and competitive in the market.  This all promotes investment in a further emerging nation.  No one wants to invest in a country that can't defend itself.
     This is a great time for anyone looking to really get started in the Forex(Currency) Market. 
I am providing a few links that can get you started on the right foot in currency trading.  Currency trading is not as hard as everyone makes it out to be.  There are certain times of the year that I buy, and certain times of the year that I sell.  It is that simple for me.  This way I am never caught in the middle of major currency swings.  This is an investment as well.  If you know that you may have to hold something for a length of time it makes it easier to prepare for the investment.  What has happened with the Dinar is so many people are being told to hurry up and invest the dinar is going to revalue in two to three day's.  That is just not true.  It may still be another 2 months yet before we see anything happen.  However these people who know nothing about investing have been being lied to, and they keep getting told week after week that it is going to happen tomorrow.  After a month of that they are bored with it and mad.  Some people can handle investing and some can't.  It is just how it is.  Now these people will still benefit as much as I will, but will have a bad taste in their mouth for investing and what to invest in.   Investing in currency of any kind takes patience and understanding of how things work and where everyone stands in the grand scheme of things.  So to all people feeling a little inpatient about the dinar or any other investments in their life. Start spending your spare time learning to do something else.  Invest $40.00 or $50.00 in an educational training that will prepare you for the next journey in life that  you are going to make.  Only you can change your stars.  Currency is great for investing in and will provide for quite a return on your investment.  You could even get really good and make unheard of dividends.  It just takes a little training to get the edge in this field.
