The US economy is sounding an alarm that everyone is ignoring

Red alert. Donald Trump and other proponents of scrapping the post-financial crisis regulations imposed on Wall Street argue red tape is preventing banks from lending and hurting the economy. It's true that firms have been borrowing less in a sign that they are still uncertain about the economy's prospects, despite record-breaking rallies in the stock market. Here's the rationale Trump offered last month for his promise to "do a number" on Dodd-Frank financial reform rules. "We expect to be Read the full story
Initial jobless claims unexpectedly climb
Business Insider
Initial jobless claims unexpectedly climbed. Claims, which count the number of people who applied for unemployment insurance for the first time in the past week, rose by 15,000 to 258,000. This was the first print above 250,000 in eight weeks, according to Bespoke Investment Group. Economists had forecasted that claims ticked down to 240,000. The prior week's reading was revised up to 243,000. Additionally, the four-week moving average was 240,000, an increase of 1,000 from the previous week's Read the full story

Blessed and Highly Favored:d
There are no updates on the CBI or ISX websites for Friday, March 24, 2017 due to Iraq's holy day.
Blogs:
Frank26 As you know...Abadi came to Washington, D.C. and talked with President Trump. We told you they had their own private meetings....(thanks to the news articles) you can see the proof. The government of Iraq includes the CBI, (they are in charge of the MR with the IMF and the USA) – that’s why the GOI came, represented by PM Abadi...and his huge entourage. Some asked if I thought PM Abadi and Pres. Trump talked about the exchange rate? No, of course not...but Abadi brought people with him that had meetings. Trump and Abadi were talking about INTERNATIONALISM. They talked about the NEXT PHASE in Iraq...that is about to start. The World Bank, IMF, UST, CBI...I’m sure they were talking about the exchange rate. An article surfaced last week...talked about the “mid-term” of what Iraq is doing with their monetary policy. The report said that the IMF was “pleased with what Iraq has done.” I believe that is why Abadi was invited to see Trump.
I don’t think they (Abadi and Trump) talked about a DATE or a RATE. I believe the people that Abadi brought with him did. That is their job. The CBI talks rate...not Abadi. When will Abadi announce Mosul? On the 23rd and 24th --- when Abadi goes to the Arab Summit – maybe that’s when Abadi will announce Mosul. I believe that Mosul is past 95%. Could that be the trigger to announce STABILITY and SECURITY. I believe all they have to do is lift the 3 zeros. So...where is the new rate? I believe the next phase...is ready to go. Lots of the stuff is sitting at the Port of FAW...waiting for a new rate. Investors (like us)...along with the DEALS made with contractors/contracts are expecting the new rate. I don’t give you a RATE or a DATE...but remember ...they were ready to do this...but they postponed it...temporarily ...and I feel that we are at the point that we have “ENDED” the period of the postponement.
Backdoc Article: "Keywords announce start implementing the e-government project"
VERY INTERESTING...WE GO FROM IMPLEMENTING THE DIGITAL E- DINAR ON FEBRUARY 8TH TO NOW GOING DIGITAL FOR GOVT. FUNCTIONS! YES, THE DIGITAL BLOCKCHAIN ADDS BETTER SECURITY, SPEED, AND EFFICIENCY! THIS WILL HELP PUT A HURT ON CORRUPTION!
...THE TWO SHIA BROTHERS (iraq and Iran) HAVE BEEN DELAYED IN THEIR NEW INTERNATIONAL PAYMENT SYSTEMS BUT THAT WILL COME TO AN END SOON. IT APPEARS THE TWO SHIA BROTHERS HAVE HAD A SIMILAR DELAY? ...BASED ON THE ADDITIONAL ARTICLES THAT I HAVE STUDIED, I BELIEVE ALL IS ON TRACK FOR BOTH SHIA BROTHERS.
Delta Article: "Government moving towards a free economy"
Quote: "Secretary General of the Council of Ministers, Mahdi Keywords, said that the government is moving towards a free economy and activating the private sector."
THEY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT ARTICLE 8 AND NEW RATE...
Iraqi RV Update by Beny Wilson 3-23-17
BREAKING NEWS IMF JUST ANNOUNCE TO ALL THE BANKS IN AND OUT SIDE OF IRAQ. THE FOLLOWING:
THIS IS A TRANSLATION FROM ARABIC.
"TO ALL LICENSES BANKS AND LICENSES MONEY TRANSFER TO ALL COMPANIES AND FINANCIAL AND INVESTMENTS AND BROKERS IN BUYING AND SELLING FOREIGN EXCHANGE CURRENCIES, APPROVE ALL COMPANIES FOR EXCHANGE RATE.
ACCORDING TO THE DECISION DATED THAT THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ GRANTS THE INTERNATIONAL PRICE WHICH IS THE REAL EQUIVALENT RATE FOR THE FOREIGN CURRENCIES AND ORDER TO DETERMENT IT'S VALUE OF TRADING OF THESE CURRENCIES AND THE YEARLY REPORT. MORE OVER THE YEARLY REPORT SHOULD STATES CLEARLY THE ABOVE DATA THAT DEFINES THE REAL VALUE ACCORDING TO INTERNATIONAL RATING, DIRECTED TO THE BANKS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTES THAT DEALS WITH THE MONEY AND FOREIGN MONEY"
WHAT THIS ANNOUNCEMENT MEANS?
IT MEANS THAT THE IMF IS GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO ALL BANKS TO TRADE AND EXCHANGE THE IRAQI DINAR TO IT'S REAL VALUE!!!
For those of you who is being following in my Facebook Page and in my private chat rooms. knows exactly that I been telling you that there is no Dragon to follow or Elders or any other Aliens but the bankers.
People are waiting for the Arab Summit and what Abadi may announce to the world this Friday or Saturday?
But my Contacts in the UBS has told me that We need to wait for Saturday as They believe it's going to a FANTASTIC NEWS.!!
You can share this letter if you want to.
I also leaving you a site from the Ministry of Planning of Iraq. I believe this is a old information. but it's always good to know that the Iraqi government is ready for their new value of their currency.

The Big Call w/ Bruce Intel Notes by PinkRoses 3-23-17
Bruce: Welcome everybody to the Big Call. Let’s evaluate where we are. Lets evaluate where we are. Let’s make sure we make it clear to everybody that we know things are happening behind the scenes. Sometimes we see it, sometimes we don’t see it so clearly. Sometimes we get little hints in the news. Mostly what were are getting is way behind the scenes, but fortunately we have sources very close to the area and we sort of know what the real deal is if you know what I mean.
Bruce: Let’s talk about Iraq. We know Prime Minister Abadi was over here since Sunday morning. He met with President Trump, other members of Congress, and a select group of people while he was here. He met with business leaders from various corporations. He worked crazy while he was here even late night meetings. He flew out yesterday to Iraq then from there to Jordan for the Arab Summit.
Bruce: You say what about the possibly of an announcement about Iraq? That is sort of what we all are looking for. We know the new budget was passed and suppose to have been put in the Gazette this morning. That new budget and rate did not show up in the Gazette because there still is a media blackout. A media blackout on social media sites as on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. These are limited and heavily filtered from Iraq outward. Same with cell services. All very limited right now as far as what is going on and what is not going on. We do have some people close to the situation and know what is happening.
Bruce: Where we thought we would have that in the Gazette this morning, would signal the Go time we didn’t have it. Maybe it be in there tomorrowmorning. I would hope so. I understand Abadi is plans to announce retake of Mosul, their restructuring of their banking system, their sovereignty of the country and the release of chapter 7, and also the reinstated dinar and revaluation of the Iraqi dinar. All those things suppose to be announced at this Arab Summit in Jordan. I know it is a big thing. We got 4 individuals from the United States there. There is also at least one Chinese representative there. There are things happening over there, and we are looking for positive news coming out of the Arab Summit.
Bruce: I don’t know if an announcement was made yet today and we just haven’t heard yet from there. I would look for one very shortly. Iraq has taken back Mosul for some time now. The two banks on the west side of Mosul that were down have been brought back up. All of the banks in Iraq have resynchronized and come back on line with the new Swift system that includes the CIPS, which is much faster than the old Swift system and the new Fentech System that has been added to the new Swift system now. Wires can now go from 18 seconds to 58 seconds around the world with no trouble. It is more direct and immediate. It is the new Swift system. We can thank AIIB and People bank of China for all that happen in conjunction with HSB. All our Chinese friends have made all this happen.
Bruce: What else has been happening is yesterday starting between 1:00am to 3:00am in the morning one of 3 separate tranches came through from the East to our banks here. Then we had another one at 6:01pm last night. Then there was one last night between 11:15pm to 11:59pm. Three tranches. You say so what? Each tranche was for 28 zeros. Put a one in front of 28 zeros. That is 3 tranches with 28 zeros in them. They have been sent and received and were processed today to various banks around the world. It was a test to make sure no shenanigans were done with these moneys. No cabal types get in there, make havoc and steal those moneys. Everything went through flawlessly. Those funds were sent for our exchanges. Our meaning the internet group. That is a lot of money, and that was handled and received by late last night.
Bruce: Also late last night somewhere around 2:00am to 3:00am, after that final and third tranche was sent and received, Hong Kong released the payments to be made to the elders. Then this afternoon, Hong Kong released London to do the same thing to begin to pay out elders out of London today. Then we understood next would be our turn and then we would get the release to begin payouts in certain groups on our west coast. My understanding they are there and ready and waiting to have that initiate. The last information I have in that is a couple of our top administrative members were sent there to effect that change, and make a go of it post haste, like immediately. That is what we hope is happening as a result of some delay in the system. We believe things are moving along nicely in that regard.
Bruce: Rates. I don’t normally do rates except to say my understanding is the new in-country rate of the Iraqi dinar is now over $6. Our rates should be substantially higher on our screens here. The ZIM has made a move upward on the screens of the non-NDA rate. The rate was moved yesterday from $2.13 to $2.26. That is fine for those of you who are going to take a screen rate with no NDA, but if you are going to be involved with many projects with us in Rebuild America I encourage you to negotiate a higher rate if you have your own humanitarian projects, or if you don’t and you want to be part of the Big Call is doing with Rebuild America.
We will take that project not only here in the United States but other parts of the world as well in third and fourth world countries also. That is why we are called by the banks the Cos or the chosen ones. Those who have the ZIM especially. We can do a lot more with a lot more. I won’t be ashamed to ask for higher rates. You can negotiate rates. Banks will do fine with us negotiating higher rates.
Bruce: We understand later this afternoon other currencies that should be part of the first basket rates were populating on the screens. My understanding is the US Treasury has given the go ahead to the banks to get started. That is how close we are. The US Treasury under our new government has given the banks the go ahead start. We are right there at the starting gate ready to go.
Bruce: What else we know is the timing is going to be that when we have the go we should be able to start at any time now. We could go any timetonight, overnight, tomorrow. We are being told everyday has a possibility all the way to Saturday. Saturday should be our final deadline for a go. I don’t know if we need to go to all the way to Saturday. We may need to go to tomorrow, but I don’t know if we need to go to Saturday. We know a lot of the RVs in the past were either on Wednesday or Saturday. We passed Wednesday without it yesterday when we thought it could go, but you know it wouldn’t have gone without those 3 tranches. Those tranches did not get down until before midnight last night eastern time. Last night wasn’t too realistic unless it happened in the middle of the night which it did not.
Bruce: The funds that moved through are in position. The people are in position. We believe the redemption centers are ready and in position, but we don’t know if they are in engage status or not. We think engage status goes when they get the go ahead to release the 800 number to us. It is almost once everything is done and we understand everything out west is happening. We understand the treaty is signed again for gold leased to the US to back our currency in exchange China getting oil credits. Those documents have been signed. That is what gives our currency, USN and TRN backing and value to be utilize around the world. We are right there. I am looking for good news to come out of the Arab Summit. I am looking for Prime Minister Abadi to make an announcement.
Bruce: The incident in London yesterday that happened, we are sad about. Our hearts are with you and our prayers for those who lost their lives which I believe were 4 lives. We know a lot of people were injured and sad about that. Who do you think made the first two calls to Prime Minister Teresa May of Great Britain? President Trump and our Secretary of State were the first two. Am I surprise by that? No. I was pleased to find that out. The fact that incident occurred yesterday in London did slow down things and put a pause on things at HSBC London for 6 hours. That could have put a delay for us, but I don’t know if it did. It could have maybe, but I know they were delayed for 6 hours in London. That was a huge hub for HSBC. It was their current headquarters before they moved to Singapore
Bruce: We are looking for our 800 number at any time. It could come in tonight before the call is over. What we could do is rally the troops, put a celebration call together and let everybody have that number on our website: thebigcall.net. We would put it as a link on our website and on our call. Also put it out on a few sites in our community. We will be on it. We are there day or night.
Bruce: I now you are anxious, and some of you are losing faith. I am not. I am gaining in faith because I am hearing. I know what is going on based on the Intel I am getting. I know we are close as we have ever been. We are in good shape. Hang in there, and continue to believe along with all of us on the call.
Bruce: I did get a text during the call that PM Abadi is to be at the Arab Summit on Saturday. He did fly back to Iraq as we thought, but he is not going to head to Jordan for the Arab Summit until Saturday. Interesting. Could there be an announcement on Saturday? We would think so. Does it hold us up until Saturday? I don’t think so. I don’t think that is the case. Based on what I am hearing now, I don’t think we have to wait that long. Bruce can be wrong. I have been wrong before for sure. You know that. I try not to call it, but this thing is getting close. You guys want to know just like I do when this blessing is going to get here. I know it does not do any good to keep saying Is it here yet? Is it here yet? I know guys I hear it all the time. I try to be patient for it. It is hard. I know it is coming.
Bruce: Every indication that I have is that we will people that want to help us. Even people in the banking world want to help us Rebuild America. We had at least 20 different bankers told us they want to be part of what we are doing. I am sure there are many more that want to partner with us in what we will be doing.
Bruce: You know the idea of using Infrastructure bonds and putting them out all over the country for us to invest in with our interest we are going to make with our structure payouts will easily give us more than enough money to buy Infrastructure bonds. We will think of the best way to involve those infrastructure bonds with our projects. I think it is the best way to get started and to use the money and get it in the system for everybody.
Bruce: Everybody wins with that I believe. We are going to have opportunity to have 10,000s infrastructure bonds issued individual type of bonds throughout the country. Each state can offer their own infrastructure bonds. Maybe they be tax exempt state and federal. We could throw some profits into those bonds. Use those bonds to fund the very projects we are looking to do in Rebuild America. From my simple mind the concept seems to be a winner. Let’s see what the Administration comes back with that. I am looking forward to possibly meeting with various members of the Administration on this concept. Let them know we are not looking for any government money. We will try to do this completely on our own doing it privately. The Big Call is not looking for any money. We want to do what we are trying to do on our own as well.
Bruce: What I am looking from you is to partner with you in the sense when you say I am going to adopt Birmingham, AL. Or you say I am going to adopt Nashville, TN. Or I am going to adopt Peoria, IL. Pick a city, an area or town in the country that needs help. We got to get started in the coal country to make sure they have good water, housing and food. Also work with Churches in the country, set up a community garden, food distribution.
Bruce: I want to everyone ready in case we have a major weather event or something that could be difficult. Even FEMA says we should have at least 7 days of provisions on hand. We are going to need to do that and have it the local Church can do it for the local communities as well. Maybe they are relying on the government like food. We have Aquaponics we will put together, community gardens also. Let’s get the local communities and churches involved in what we are doing so they can over see that and take over those projects when we move from one city to the next with these projects. Obviously it won’t be a quick fix. It will be something that will take years and years, but I want to plant beautiful seeds in our inner cities. I want to get our inner cities Rock and Rolling again. I want to get MO town crankin as it was in the 50s and 60s. I mean it in every way not only music also automotive.
Bruce: We are going to rebuild America and in the process make America great again. From what we do from the private sector we don’t need Congress to allocate a trillion dollars for infrastructure. We don’t need it. We got the ability when we get blessed with this, we can certainly have the wherewithal to have trillions of dollars, hundreds of trillions of dollars of infrastructure bonds to rebuild America. Can I get a AMEN form anybody out there?
Bruce: Let’s start here in our country first. Then we will work in third world countries, Africa, South and Central America, Caribbean as in Haiti and the rest of the DR. There are opportunities everywhere and we will find them. Desalination plants, opportunities for employment, and hiring of veterans. This is going to be fun. I am excited. You guys are going to be excited to get started.
Bruce: If you don’t have a project when you go into the redemption center think back to Bruce from the Big Call using Rebuild America. Tell them I am going to partner with him and our banks to rebuild America. We will adopt a city, a town, and a community. We will get it done. We will build new roads, improving bridges, meglove railways, airports, new clinics, homes, neighborhoods, community gardens, Recreation centers, etc. We will find out what the city, town, community needs and create a infrastructure bond for it.
Bruce: The bank comes up with a infrastructure bond, we will find the need, and we will partner with them and make it work. When we are done with this city lets go over somewhere else. I am looking for people all over to partner with us from the Big Call. When the word gets out beyond our listenership, I urge other calls to partner with us and say I heard about that Rebuild America on the Big Call and I am in.
Bruce: We will have a new website and portal so you can have the ability to communicate with us onthebigcall.net. We will not try to reinvent the wheel. We are talking about new technology, new building techniques and free energy possibly.

Zap Says
HI ALL
THE ART OF GIVING IS SIMPLE. WE JUST GIVE. WE SEE A NEED, WE GIVE. WE SEE DISASTER, WE GIVE. THIS IS THE NATURE OF HUMANS AND I WOULD NOT CHANGE THAT FOR ANYTHING. IT FEELS TOO GOOD.
OVER THE LAST YEARS, THE OLD TRUSTS HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS TIME OF GIVING, AND PARTICULARLY AFTER THE LAST ELECTION. THEY WOULD NOT MOVE AND DO ANYTHING UNTIL A NEW ADMINISTRATION WAS PUT IN PLACE. APPARENTLY THE OLD SERIES OF ADMINISTRATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN ACCEPTABLE TO THE TRUSTS IN THE RELEASE OF THE MATRIX FUNDS OF HUMANITY.
WITH THE CURRENT LANDSCAPE, THEY HAVE MOVED FORWARD AND HAVE PROVIDED THE FIRST RELEASES. THESE ARE IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW, AND BESIDES THIS WELL KNOWN INFORMATION, THERE IS LITTLE ELSE WE CAN PROVIDE IN RESPECT OF OUR OWN TIMING BECAUSE OF THE SECURITY WE ARE UNDER AT THE MOMENT. SUFFICE TO SAY THAT WE TOO ARE MOVING FORWARD AND PREPARING OURSELVES FOR THE PROJECT SIDE.
WE WOULD ASK YOU NOT TO ASK FOR TIMINGS AND AMOUNTS AS WE CAN NOT SAY ANYTHING AT THIS TIME.
IN GLOBAL MATTERS, THE RELEASES ALSO PROVIDE FOR THE FUNDS FOR THE HISTORIC BONDS AND CURRENCY EXCHANGES. WE RECEIVE A DAILY MENU OF ASSORTED RUMORS RANGING FROM THE CLOSINGS IN FLORIDA, TO MOVEMENT OF LARGE FUNDS, TO CLOSINGS IN RUSSIA, TO PRETTY WELL A REGURGITATION OF THE PAST YEAR’S RUMORS.
WE DO KNOW OF SOME THAT HAVE REDEEMED, AND THEY ARE BUYING CARS AND HOUSES. THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL AS SOME OF THE ROYAL FAMILIES AND VARIOUS HIGH LEVEL GUARDIANS HAVE CASHED OUT. HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY HAVE NOT HENCE THE RUMOR MILL WORKING OVERTIME.
EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE IN TIME, AND STRESSING ABOUT IT IS NOT THE BEST SOLUTION TO PUSH THIS ANY FASTER. ALL GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME, AND THIS IS NO DIFFERENT. I WOULD THEREFORE COUNSEL YOU TO KEEP PATIENCE AND NOT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE CURRENT WHIRLWINDS.
ON THE PROJECT SIDE, WE HAVE LEARNED OF SEVERAL OTHER GROUPS THAT ARE GOING TO PROVIDE A SERIES OF TECHNOLOGIES TARGETED AT CLEANING UP OUR PLANET. THESE TECHNOLOGIES ARE HIGHLY ADVANCED AND WILL GIVE US THE MEANS OF CLEANING OUR AIR, THE EARTHS, AND ESPECIALLY OUR WATERS.
OUR WATERS ARE LIFE ITSELF. WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO POLLUTE THEM IS ESSENTIALLY MADNESS AS WE ARE IN ESSENCE POLLUTING OURSELVES. THE WATER CYCLE IS PERVASIVE ON OUR PLANET, AND WITHOUT IT, THERE WOULD BE NO CARBON BASED LIFE.
WHAT WE DO TO WATER WE DO TO OURSELVES, SO WITH THESE TECHNOLOGIES, WE WILL BE ABLE TO CLEAN THE LAKES, RIVERS AND SEAS AND OCEANS OF ALL POLLUTANTS. THAT ALSO INCLUDES RADIATION. BUT TIME IS RUNNING SHORT, SO THE FASTER WE CAN GET TO THIS ALL IMPORTANT MATTER, THE BETTER.
ALL PROJECTS WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS, AND OUR PRIORITIES REMAIN THE SAME WITH CHILDREN, SENIORS AND WATER FIRST AND FOREMOST.
THE BALANCE OF SECTORS WILL BE DONE IN PARALLEL, BUT OUR STRENGTH WILL FOCUS ON THESE THREE FIRST. THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY LIES IN THE FIRST TWO OF CHILDREN AND SENIORS BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK AFTER THEM, THE POVERTY ASPECT WILL DIMINISH AND EVENTUALLY DISAPPEAR.
WE WILL BE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE UNITED NATIONS IN SPECIFIC AREAS IN AFRICA. ONE OF OUR OWN HAS BEEN THERE IN THE LAST DAYS TO SEE FOR HIMSELF THE STATE OF THINGS, AND HIS REPORT WAS ALARMING. THE DROUGHT CONDITIONS ARE PREVENTING AGRICULTURE, AND ANIMALS ARE DYING BECAUSE OF LACK OF FOOD AND WATER.
WITH THE VARIOUS GOVERNMENTS AND THE UNITED NATIONS, AND THE ROYAL FAMILIES OF AFRICA, SPECIFICALLY THE KING OF THE ZULU NATION, WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO CHANGE THIS CIRCUMSTANCE, PROVIDE FOR WATER AND FOOD, AND THE MEDICAL ATTENTION THAT SO MANY NEED. THE 1.4 MILLION CHILDREN AT RISK OF DEATH ARE THE PRIMARY FOCUS, AND WE WILL DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO SAVE THE 20 ODD MILLION ALSO AT RISK.
IN RESPECT OF THE TECHNOLOGIES, THE ONE THING WE DID KNOW WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS ELECTED WAS THAT HE WAS WELL AWARE OF THE LIFE CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES THAT WOULD BE BROUGHT OUT. OF COURSE HE COULD NOT SAY MUCH, BUT HE DID MAKE SOME VERY CRITICAL MOVES IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS IN OFFICE THAT WILL MEAN EVERYTHING FOR OUR PLANET.
PLEASE SEE THIS INFORMATION REGARDING THE RELEASE OF SOME OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT SUPPORT OF OUR EFFORTS. THE OTHER SISTER TRUSTS AND FOUNDATIONS WE WORK WITH ARE ALL PREPARED TO MOBILIZE AND BEGIN THIS RECONSTRUCTION PROCESS. THE WORLD NEEDS US AND OUR ABILITIES TO DO THIS WORK AND GET RID OF THE UGLY THAT HAS COVERED THIS PLANET. WITH WORK AND PERSEVERANCE, WE WILL CLEAN UP OUR HOUSE AND CREATE THE HEAVEN ON EARTH THAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT, AND THIS WILL ONLY HAPPEN WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER FOR THE COMMON PURPOSE.
WE WILL GIVE AND PAY-IT-FORWARD THE WAY OUR NATURE DICTATES. IT FEELS TOO GOOD NOT TO DO.
IN FESTIVE GRATITUDE
LOVE AND LIGHT
IN OUR SERVICE

3-23-2017 Intel Guru Frank26 I don’t think they (Abadi and Trump) talked about a DATE or a RATE. I believe the people that Abadi brought with him did. That is their job. The CBI talks rate...not Abadi. When will Abadi announce Mosul? On the 23rd and 24th --- when Abadi goes to the Arab Summit – maybe that’s when Abadi will announce Mosul. I believe that Mosul is past 95%. Could that be the trigger to announce STABILITY and SECURITY. I believe all they have to do is lift the 3 zeros. So...where is the new rate? I believe the next phase...is ready to go. Lots of the stuff is sitting at the Port of FAW...waiting for a new rate.

Some asked if I thought PM Abadi and Pres. Trump talked about the exchange rate? No, of course not...but Abadi brought people with him that had meetings. Trump and Abadi were talking about INTERNATIONALISM. They talked about the NEXT PHASE in Iraq...that is about to start. The World Bank, IMF, UST, CBI...I’m sure they were talking about the exchange rate. An article surfaced last week...talked about the “mid-term” of what Iraq is doing with their monetary policy.

It’s NOW TIME TO CHANGE this to a consistent Dinar Rate, for the entire country...this will stabilize Iraq’s desire to make sure the WHOLE WORLD knows, they are a Sovereign Nation, and AVAILABLE for Business.

But...it may not be until later in the week, before International Exchanges... actually start taking place with the new higher rates... perhaps THROUGH April 10th. ...the inferences from PM Abadi, is that Iraq will go SLOWLY, in it’s growth stages, to restore Iraq back to economic good health...they cannot rip the economy up right out of the gate, with TOO HIGH OF A RATE INCREASE, due to rampant inflation.

3-23-2017 Intel Guru Dr. Clarke Here are the key words, right out of Abadi’s own mouth... It has to do with the “PEOPLE”.

Iraqi’s NOW, need to find somewhat of a Normal, Peaceful Life, as Abadi stated, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - and this strongly includes, ECONOMICS, BUSINESS, TRADE…PROSPERITY. Because of this, we believe that Iraq will raise the value of the Dinar, on or before APRIL 1, 2017, substantially higher, IN ORDER TO SHOW THE PEOPLE THAT LEADERSHIP IS WITH THEM...

The demonstrators, who came from Baghdad and other provinces in the Tahrir Square in central Baghdad, carrying Iraqi flags and chanting slogans against corruption and spoilers.
Security forces imposed a tight security ahead of the night of the demonstration, cutting off many roads leading to Tahrir Square and cutting off the bridges linking Tahrir Square to the Green Zone, which houses government headquarters, to prevent attempts to break into it.
In a speech to the demonstrators, al-Sadr called for amending the electoral law and changing the members of the electoral commission to other independents, threatening to boycott the upcoming elections.
Sadr stressed the need to continue demonstrations against what he described as spoilers, but that these demonstrations remain peaceful to the last stage.
He called on the Iraqi army to support and support the Iraqi army in its war to liberate the city of Mosul, stressing that the army should take over the administration of the city after liberation, not foreign forces.
"I advise you to continue the reform revolution without any fatigue, if they succeed in assassinating me and to keep the peaceful demonstrations peaceful and to the end," Sadr told his followers, stressing that he "would not be pleased to be transformed into something else."
The demonstration comes as part of a series of demonstrations called for by Sadr to amend the electoral law and change the members of the Commission months before the local elections scheduled for the end of this year and the legislative scheduled in the first half of next year.
Parliament has formed a committee to select new members to run the election commission, but has so far not elected any of them.
