2-27-2017 Intel Guru Dr. Clarke We will tell you, that the focus has changed from just Iraq's Safety & Security, clearing, liberation - to, and including a "REGIONAL" focus of Safety & Security, which is now centered also in Syria and others... We mentioned this possibility about the status of Syria & Iraq being equally important and related...and we talked about a "Trigger" recently too...we're going to have to see where this goes, over the next few days...there is a strategy, that's of course hidden, and it definitely involves, the economics & currency movements of Iraq and others. Don't put much stock in this "Bond" thing, introduced this weekend...fyi... "Standby" in Positive Expectation, and watch "The STORM" for now. It's Beautiful.

So, we're currently in "STANDBY" mode, and hope that by this coming Thursday, March 2nd, things will clear up, and become more solidly known. We're not saying things are happening "Sooner" and we're not saying things are happening "Later"...we really don't know at this point, BECAUSE THINGS HAVE CHANGED SO MUCH OVER THE PAST 2 DAYS...and if we did, we'd relay those things along to you.

BY ADDING THESE NEW ASSETS TO THEIR CREDIT WITH THE IMF, THEY WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN A MUCH HIGHER CURRENCY VALUE THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. IN THE CASE OF IRAQ, I BELIEVE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WOULD LIKE A HIGHER CURRENCY VALUE FOR IRAQ SO THAT THE U.S. CAN ACHIEVE A BALANCED BUDGET. VALUE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE, AND YOU MY FRIENDS, WERE ABLE TO BE A PART OF HISTORY. ISN’T IT NICE TO BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VALUE EQUATION?

From the estimates I heard a week ago, this kind of progress wasn't expected for well over a month. ...not bad, huh? Last week, everyone was predicting this operation would take six months.
