Iraqi Dinar Revaluation
How the U.S. Plans to Make Trillions Off the Revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar
U.S. national debt will exceed $14.5 trillion by the end of the
summer.
The government has been underwater so long, it has gills...
But
despite their desperate condition, the Feds still have a few tricks up
their sleeve that will allow them to keep “kicking the can” down the
road.
One of the gimmicks they've cooked up to stave the wolves off is becoming more and more evident: Iraqi Dinar Revaluation.
The
dinar collapsed after the United States invaded Iraq and toppled
Saddam. Prior to U.S. invasion, the Iraqi currency was trading over USD3
to one Iraqi dinar on the strength of the country's massive oil
industry.
After the collapse, the dinar was trading significantly lower. At one
point, a single dollar purchased one thousand Iraqi dinar.
Speculators
began to take positions in 2004 hoping someday, the dinar would recover
and the UN economic sanctions would be lifted, allowing the currency to
be revalued. Since then, there has been much speculation regarding how
and when that would occur.
But here's the really interesting part...
The U.S. Government is the Largest Holder of Iraqi Dinar Outside of Iraq
Does that really come as a surprise?
The U.S. Treasury does not officially list the Iraqi dinar as part of the country's forex reserves.

However, the Treasure does say it did an initial currency swap with Iraq to fund their government and Ministries...
Exactly how many dinars were traded is not mentioned, but it does make reference to “billions of U.S. dollars” traded to Iraq.
About
two
months ago, Iraqi dinars could no longer be purchased; the recent Dodd
Frank bill appears to have legislation related to the revaluation of a
foreign currency and preventing mass hysteria.
From
what I have been able to gather, it sounds like this plan was
originally put together by George Bush, Dick Cheney, Alan Greenspan, and
others years ago as a way for the U.S. government to be repaid (read:
get kickbacks) for their efforts in Iraq.
Experts speculate the U.S. government received nearly 4 trillion Iraqi dinars at an exchange rate of 4,000 dinar to USD1.
If
this is even close to true — and the UN allows Iraq to revalue their
currency up to USD1: one Iraqi dinar — the U.S. government would stand
to profit in
trillions... as would anyone else who speculated on the dinar over the
years.
Bush’s statement, “This is a war that will pay for itself,” will be true 10 times over.
