"Hi all, just got into the Dinar thing buying for self and Adult kids. Retired few years ago from Calif. Law Enforcement, so I'm tired. Reading some of the posts it appears that most are tired of "I heard from a friend that told a friend" So..... here goes (sorry) I was told and got into the Dinar because of a story from a Iraqi millionaire (yes here goes) that General Electric (GE) Has been doing business in Iraq for some time and is being asked to provide delivery and installation of electricity for the entire country. GE will demand payment to employ and start. To do this the RV date will be in July (a few weeks). There you have it another story...... I did a Googled "General Electric, Iraq, electricity" and found several references to the supply by GE of electricity generation equipment to Iraq. GE contracted to supply $3 billion USD of gas turbines to Iraq. This will more than double Iraq's electricity capacity. GE has also contracted 1 $billion USD to the Saudi's for similar equipment. Please dont bash the Newbe I want to be here for a while"..
