I know it's so fucking obscene regardless, but if it makes you feel even slightly better, the aid package was $8billion, not trillion.

Thank you for that clarification but also fuck Israel sideways. They are owed nothing from vulnerable and marginalized Americans stuck in flood waters

We have elderly people dying in hurricanes and children who can’t afford chemotherapy

1/3rd of students in New Mexico are not getting enough food to eat

People are dying in childbirth in record numbers

We have the highest number of incarcerated people ON EARTH

but … thank GOD Biden sent Israel that 8B so they can airstrike other countries repeatedly for no fucking reason

We really needed that, Joe! It’s our time of need and thank god he’s here to take our tax dollars and light them on fire while watching us drown

He’s our liberal hero, truly

Egan Store is still the best US-based, online IQD (Iraqi Dinar) dealer

EganShop.com has closed, but Egan.Store is still the best place on the web to buy Iraqi Dinar currency. 

Ms. Sandy at Edu Matrix has some of the best videos about the Iraqi dinar and it’s prospective revaluation available anywhere on the web.

Everything I’m hearing is that the RV is imminent... anywhere for hours to weeks, months tops. There’s been lots of chatter that this will be a very special Christmas. Sure, could mean anything or nothing, but Trump’s history is pretty close to unanimous in terms of his knowing something specific when he makes remarks like that.

My recommended source for IQD (Iraqi Dinar) is Egan Store (http://egan.store & Egan Shop https://eganshop.com).

Peter (the owner of Egan Store) has told me this week that he intends to start removing IQD listings soon, although he couldn’t give a date, stating that they would only sell what they can replace, but would sell as long as he could get it. So as long as they can get it they plan to make it available and help as many people as possible procure some before it’s too late.

Peter is a good man and his customers love him. His business has achieved a better than 99% customer satisfaction rate selling on eBay, Etsy, other third-party platforms and from their relatively new site, EganShop.com.

Peter will be launching a plethora of currency-specific, niche collectible numismatics, coin & banknote shops — each specific to a particular nation’s currency.

Egan Shop and Egan Store have every denomination of new Iraqi dinar available for some of the best prices available anywhere online. If you find a better price, message them. If Peter can beat it he will.

pretty much everything bad that happened under Trump keeps happening under Biden except there are no popular liberal protests against any of it, meanwhile the same liberals are ready to accept alliance with people who destroyed two countries and destabilized an entire region AND profited from it financially

When will the Iraqi Dinar Revalue? (Bing’s AI Tool)

Today, I became curious after months of+*/ hearing about arificial intelligence, chat bots, Open AI, ChatGPT, etc. I decided to indulge my own curiosity and also assess just how intelligent these artificial brains really are. The first one I played around with is one created by Microsoft’s Bing.

I posed the following (loaded) question: When will the Iraqi Dinar revalue?

The answer it gave me wasn’t particularly impressive, however, when I first attempted to write this post my browser froze and I lost everything. Interestingly, while the gist was the same, the second time I asked the idenical question I got a slightly different answer.

That answer is below, make of it what you will:

The Iraqi Dinar has been a topic of speculation for many years. The Iraqi Dinar Revaluation (RV) is a theory that the Iraqi Dinar will one day be worth a lot more than it is today. The RV theory is based on the belief that the Iraqi Dinar was artificially devalued by the Saddam Hussein regime in the 1990s, and that it will be revalued to its true value once Iraq becomes a stable and prosperous country².

However, on February 7th, 2023, Iraq's cabinet approved a currency revaluation and set the exchange rate at **1,300 dinars per U.S. dollar**³⁵.

Source: Conversation with Bing, 7/1/2023

Umm... What was the rate before it was 1300-1?

I guess noboddy mentioned to it what the rate had been before the government set t at 1,300 dinars to $1. Most people would consider an 11% ROI pretty good for year’s investment. IQD appreciated that much against the US dollar in one day when it was set at 1300-1. So at leats in 2023, if you buy Iraqi dinar you haven’t lost anythign this year, and appear poised to see your patience pay off like so many of us have long hoped.

Here is what it said when I asked what the rate had been prior to being changed to 1300-1 (it was 1468-1, but Microsoft Bing didn’t know and couldn’t figure that out). The response is as follows: 

I couldn't find the exact exchange rate before it was set at 1,300 dinars per US dollar on February 7th, 2023¹. However, the Iraqi dinar was equal to US$4.86 between 1932 and 1949 and equalled to US$2.80 between 1949 and 1971 after being devalued in 1949²³. I hope this helps.

Israel strikes Beirut

dick cheney endorsed her. DICK FUCKING CHENEY.

it's wild to me that people see Ronald Reagan staffers supporting Kamala and instead of going "wow, this signifies that she too represents the interests of the bourgeoisie and neoliberal order as a whole, including some of the far right elements" they go "wow, Reaganites hate trump so much! poggers!! This signifies a positive trend for 'our democracy' that the 'left' party is supported by the most infamous bigots in the country's history"

Don't let the media make what's happening with Israel, Iran and Jordan into some "middle-east problem" again. This was entirely orchestrated and encouraged by the US and the UK. Israel initiated every attack against Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iran. Israel KILLED, targeted, the children and grandchildren of Palestinians political leaders. And the US could've stopped all of this by simply not giving Israel money and weapons bu they didn't.

The Western media has constructed this narrative that countries like Iraq and Iran are the problem and the western nations are the antidote keeping their 'terrorism' at bay. No, they have always and at all times started the conflicts, or worsened them.

Because they want the land, they want hegemony over the resources of that region and that is it. And they've demonstrated already by killing over 33,000 people that they'll do anything.

Stop joking about World War 3 and take the loss of lives and the horror of what is happening seriously. This cannot keep escalating

When he told the people around him about filing a lawsuit, Rensburg said he received a lot of support. "Many lawyers decided to join us in the lawsuit. Many of those who have joined are Muslims, but I am not. They feel obligated to assist this cause, but I believe that what is happening is incorrect." What happened in Iraq is an example of this, he said, noting that no one held the US accountable for the crimes it committed in the Middle Eastern country as the issue was not given the necessary importance.But now people believe what is happening in Palestine is an ideal scenario for the legal process to be carried out, the South African lawyer said, adding that "the US is busy spending more money and more resources to (allow Israel) commit the crime.” “No one says stop, enough is enough," he remarked. Rensburg said the genocide case filed by South Africa against Israel at the ICJ will serve as a guide for their case against the US and UK, and that they will begin the process based on the outcome of the case and the steps to be taken by the United Nations.

Here’s the text from the screenshots above, although I recommend reading the full analysis and clicking through the links to the sources rather than arguing with headlines as so many commenters do - link to article below

The Biden Administration is, by all available metrics, all in on Israel’s “war” on Gaza. This much is clear. They may have process critiques, and may put up some barriers to Israel expressly driving the population of Gaza into Egypt, but they’re 95 percent committed and there’s no evidence this will change. Top US government officials have repeated over and over again that they share Israel’s nominal goal of “eliminating Hamas,” despite Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a closed door meeting acknowledging this is impossible. But never mind, because this goal, as I said, is nominal. The real objective—as has been clear for months—is, at best, to “thin out” the population of Gaza and administer Bronze-age collective punishment, and, at worst, to carry out full-blown genocide marked by a clear-as-day ethnic cleansing campaign. By holding on to the fantasy of “removing Hamas from power,” either of these scenarios remains in play. And the Biden administration has made it clear they will hold onto this fictitious objective indefinitely, with White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby recently telling The New Yorker’s Isaac Chotiner, “We still don’t support a general ceasefire that would leave Hamas in charge.”

The White House also recognizes, however, that support among liberals is eroding more and more every day, and that it’s clear Biden’s quadrupling down on Israel’s genocide is a massive political liability among demographics key to Biden’s 2020 victory: namely black voters, young voters, and Arab and Muslim voters. Thus, Team Biden has a pretty standard P.R. problem on their hands: They’re not going to change their support for genocide, but they need to chip away at the growing discontent and cynicism among their base. Thus, at least in the United States, the US-Israeli destruction of Gaza is fundamentally a P.R. war.

The most recent and nakedly cynical example, as I detailed in The Nation yesterday, is the White House’s rhetorical shift in nominally supporting a “ceasefire” over the past couple of weeks. The Biden administration assumed, correctly it turns out, that most people will be confused and see this as a concession or a “step in the right direction,” rather than what it: a co-option of the term. So the White House went from banning low-level staff from using the c-word to embracing it, hoping no one would notice that their definition of a “ceasefire” was just a temporary pause for hostage exchanges followed by an explicit endorsement of Israel continuing to bomb and siege Gaza indefinitely. This, as I laid out, was a largely successful gambit—in that many otherwise smart people fell for it, and it generated dozens of favorable headlines.

Oh this article just lays out how deeply fucking evil the democratic party and joe biden is man.
