I have serious doubts about anyone's contacts in Iraq. We actually have no proof that any such contacts exist.

So far everything we know is coming strictly from the news. Regretably, no contact info has ever carried any validity.

All we hear is, "I'm waiting for my contact to get back to me". And as usual - they never do! (and if by some total fluke we do - the info is totally lame!)

We hear them talking about their 'boots on the ground' in Iraq but it always adds up to a big '0'.

With all these imaginary 'boots on the ground' we're supposed to have in Iraq - we can't even confirm the price of a lousy candy bar!

So your saying my friends in the military and those working for KBR, are figments of my Imagination? That the Iraqi people I met and became friends with are really not there? What do you classify as a "contact" ?

the previous poster is correct.

Logic shows a reoccurring pattern that, thus far, has been 100% accurate.
After a given sample (number of times), it is reasonably safe to say that
pattern is no longer a hypothesis, but rather a fact.

Just because they have "boots on ground" does not give them moral superiority in the matter of facts occurring or not occurring. Pure scientific method shows that if the rumors they have are 100% wrong 100% of the time, then perhaps they are not to be bothered with regarding them as having valid information in the area of the dinar revaluation. This does not make them bad people anymore than me being unable to play for the NBA makes me a bad person, it just dictates that perhaps we should just enjoy the rumors as good fun while we wait, rather than illogically hope that next Wed (or whenever) a huge event will happen.


I have enjoyed many of these forums as unique people get together a jabber. It is a wonderful motley crew from all over the globe. But I have to say, at times, we have all taken this whole monkey circus a little too serious...

I hope nobody feels this is a flame against them, its just me saying caveat emptor, which I think is German for "Fat Kitten dressed in a meat helmet".

Regrettably, no contact - real or imaginary - has added even one genuine fact!

Really? There are people with contacts who provide the street rate to us all of the time. Are you saying that they are lying?

If we can't get beyond the 'street rate' then you've just made my point!

What the Hell are you talking about? If a contact can provide us with the current street rate and it is accurate then why should any other information from the same source be considered a lie? They provide what they hear and if it pans out, good, If not we just wait to hear what they have to say next... and like it ignore it....

Regrettably, information from so-called 'contacts' or 'boots on the ground' (real or imaginary) is a complete disappointment - a total flop!

We're getting absolutely no hits at bat!

Can you explain it?

It's not about rumors. It's about facts and to date 'contacts' (real or imaginary) have supplied none that can be verified.

So offshorewealths(i.e. Mikes) Kurdish contacts are not verifiable?

Mike doesn't hype info about TV spots showing piles of cash on a table or relatives driving from Baghdad in Humvees that are talking on satellite phone giving info while watching the survey teams shaking the field.

He is actually the only one that has said they have contacts that I would give credence too.

My point is what are we getting? We've gotten nothing worthwhile out of any contacts!

That conversation in the Humvee was a fine example - and the TV spot that was showing every hour but somehow can't be verified by one stinking contact, is yet another!

For all this talk about, "My contacts this... my contacts that" we're getting ZIP!

These contacts are either BOLD FACED LIARS - or they just don't exist!

Thanks for doubting my integrity and value of my posts.

My contact is an Iraqi guy I worked with for five years who still has family in Iraq and speaks to them every week.

Anyone can copy posts from other forums and news sites, all of which turn out to be useless information about some Iraqi politician who has blown his nose or wiped his ass, which must have some bearing on am imminent reval.

Posts like yours are the type that are driving good members away from this forum, how long must this continue?

I don't mean to doubt the integrity of your posts and I agree with much that you say - it's just that for all these so-called 'contacts', what's the net gain? How can it make sense that when certain individuals try to confirm events through their contacts - they come up empty again and again!

We should have a thread called "Valuable Information Supplied By Contacts" - but I'm convinced there wouldn't be any posts.

I've been careful not to unfairly single out and criticize individual posters that are trying their very best - I'm merely pointing out that the batting average of so-called "contacts" is abismal!

Fair point, my aplogies.

OK this was just emailed to me!!Take it for what it is worth!Please don't bash me,just wanted to share

I just got this PM here at IIF! It is from Crazy Bill who is in Iraq as a contractor! We have PMed back and forth a couple of times and I asked him to let me know of any news from his Iraqi workers!

DIG THIS!~

"
1200:1 ?
hey there, i don't know if you remember me or not. this is bill in AD Diwaniyah Iraq, you sent me a message a couple of weeks ago. anyway i was going to start a new thread but this computer wouldn't let me so i figured i would send it to you instead. as i said in the post that you replied to i am in AD Diwaniyah i have many iraqi workers that had been getting excited about the dinar increasing in value so they had been changing all thier U.S. $ back to dinar. i have asked them to keep me posted as to the word on the streets localy and well today a few of them came to me very excited and said that the banks here in AD Diwaniyah are exchanging the U.S.$ into dinar for 1200 to 1 and that the news had announced that the dinar and the U.S.$ will be equal after a few important anouncement within the next few weeks. now ofcourse at that point i freaked out! i have been scouring this forum and every other damn dinar link i can find everywere and cant find anything along these lines. the only thing that i can really find is the rumors about a reprint of the money and yes i do believe that is all they are RUMORS! i can't remember the timeline but i am sure that Iraq had to sign agreements with world bank when they changed the dinar that they couldn't change it for a preset time. anyway i haven't let any of my family or friends know about my dinar investment and i got so excited i had to share this with someone, i hope you dont mind. see if you can find anything out through your channels and keep me posted please. thanks bill"

When I look at a rumor from now on, I check the so-called 'contact' information.

Since we know that 'contacts' and 'boots on the ground' have yielded absolutely no truthful or useful information, this rumor is dead in the water!

These so-called contacts say that the news had announced that the dinar and the U.S.$ will be equal after a few important announcements within the next few weeks - and yet after extensive search to verify the news report, he CAN'T!

His so-called 'contacts' and the info they report are, as in every case so far, unreliable, unverifiable and in some odd way like ghosts - INVISIBLE!

My point exactly! Contacts in Iraq are totally stinkin useless!

You might have dozens of contacts in Iraq. What's the point? You can put all the useful information they have provided to date - ON THE HEAD OF A PIN!

If you must know the truth - THERE ARE NO REAL CONTACTS IN IRAQ!

I'm still waiting for anyone to prove that there are any real contacts in Iraq, or anywhere else for that matter!

This thread has been active for quite some time and guess what - still no evidence that even one credible contact exists in Iraq or anywhere else!

All this talk about, "My contacts here... My contacts there..." is regrettably just a bunch of worthless, pointless posturing!

(Hey, this is the first thread I've ever had - it's kinda fun - sure helps to pass the time!)

Kinda like a secert. "if you tell, then it isn't a secert anymore". Good try thow. I know that my contact, "A freind". Out of respect for him/her will never be revealed to likes of something like this. They are for me. And if I want to share with the membership, that is my choice. I believe all should keep their on Sources to them selves, asfar as revealing them.

I mean they should be vauled of course. But when one's own statements never come to pass, then you just read between the lines from then on. Why try to bring someone down with child play. Just look pass them.

I will say that I have repected your post. So why not keep it that way, and in return, respect others on the forum. If you dont believe the member, just look past the post. Much easier that way, than to try and create problems for that member, or even yourself. Thats it.

Let me thank you for creating my little thread - NO REAL CONTACTS.

I've been having fun here, daring people to prove me wrong. While it may be hard to detect - there is actually an element of humor in my assertion that real, credible 'contacts' don't really exist; that posters play a phantom game of 'hide and seek' with their supposed trusted informers.

Without any real identity, posters refer to their 'contacts' as trustworthy, down to earth, not inclined to exaggerate, high ranking officials, brothers or uncles of high ranking officials, boots on the ground, men on the street, flies on the wall, etc. and yet all this is to what avail?

I appreciate that your contacts are your own secret. I suppose that since 'contacts' are closely guarded secrets, it helps me prove my point; that 'contacts' don't really exist. It's all in fun - no harm intended!

So you think there's little hope of anyone proving the existence of 'contacts' in or out of Iraq?

Thanks for visiting - bring a contact next time!
