Word on the Street Saturday 4/1/17:
TNT CONFERENCE CALL FRIDAY 3/31/17 DC NY CALL RECAP:
Good afternoon TNT Superfastastic Family. Today is Fantabulous Friday. Text you received, missed expectations or maybe not or interpetations maybe so? What you have been reading and even what I looked at wasn't 100% promising. It was still looking good. Expecting to see something unfold today, and of course it still could. The day is not over, but this is the last of the quarter. A lot of folks looking at this has to be done by the end of the quarter in order to cover back pay to citizens dating back to January. That was an expectation from the way some people were looking at the info, and that is how some of it had come to me as well as an expectation. As well of it not going into the second quarter without having this or something taking place. That does not necessarily mean that things are not taking place. It just means we are not seeing them publicly taking place. Some of that expectation info could be right on the mark, and that was not needed to be fully public. Then you had info that was on the TV over in Iraq. The Treasury giving Iraq a high ranking award for excellence in banking and getting all the banks connected online. So we know that is not an issue for this to roll. The citizens information is slowing due to the car bomb situation. Some people blaming it on the US air strikes, and some were blaming it on ISIS. There is some video footage collaborating the car bombing activity by ISIS that caused civilian casaulties. Also on their TV, there is something to look at. Abadi calling for the UN to lift Chapter 7. Some say that is not necessary, and time will tell on how much impact that really has or just window dressing. That is about it info wise. Still scuttle butt going around about who said who is looking what to happen. We are still not going to the bank just yet. There are still some expectations between now and some course of the weekend that could change. We have to patiently wait and see, since we don't have the answers to the questions. I believe the ones that truly do have the answers are still not talking. Expectation is still on a high on the Iraq side and US side for banking. Everyone is still pretty much on an anyday, any hour scenario, or expectation. Especially with the few things that happened that are not being talked about. It still takes me to a good round of expectation pretty soon. Q and A: Q: Is there anything we need to do to protect our funds on exchange day? Ray: No. Q: Has your excitement moved up and why? Ray yes it has moved up and expectation is even higher and sounding good. Q: Do you know if a particular bank is exchanging the Dinar. Ray: No I don't Q: Have you heard about the Dong lately? Ray: Nothing lately. Expectations and everything is on target. Caller 865: Just hoping this will be the last pre RV call. We didn't get into the Gazette and what was said? Ray: I had nothing in my opening statement about the Gazette. If it was something worthy of you knowing, I would share it. Does the UN secretary general have to be there or have any part of it. Ray: Based what I have received, I don't have any information that and it is not relevant to what we are looking for. Caller: Are you going to let info out? Ray: When it is pertinent. There is not a lot going on. Caller: Are we still waiting on the deletion of the 3 zeroes? Ray: we lost his line. He fell off. Caller: Have you heard anything from the Mosques? Ray: No. Caller: On Zimbabwe is that ZWD's? Ray: I have no idea. When we go to the bank we will find out. Ray Wrap up: Folks we are in a good position and still looking good. I am still excited. There are still some benchmarks to look forward to. Some are still holding to the end of the quarter which ends tonight. Some are already looking into April, but whats been said and whats happened, some things that are projected, I am still feeling good about the whole situation. Could something happen between now and Monday? Sure it could. I am thinking, due to info that I have not received that I was looking to receive by now. That is leading me to the other thought that should something happen this weekend, it won't be for all of us. It could be for some of us, and if that happens it will clearly be a good expectation for the rest of us going into next week.. A lot of this is still iffy at best, because it is all based on some things that I was told that is supposed to happen. Some of those things have not materialized yet. At least I have not received any info that they have. There are some things that people want me to believe that have taken place, but I have not seen proof of it. Until I see proof of it, you won't hear me referencing it even though there are others that choose to believe it is taking place. The proof is in the putting of what is going on or supposed to go on. I think most of you the TNT membership, you are more interested in proof in the putting than he said she said. Then we don't see any clear indication of that taking place. We do what we do best and sit back and plan. If we hear something that sounds of a positive nature, I try to substantiate it. Then see where we fall in the grand scheme of things. I am anticipating hearing some more things through the weekend, and have the best sources nail it down and confirm if it is true and see where we fall in that picture. I will send out information to you to help you best to take advantage of whatever may be coming down the pike. So while we wait, enjoy the weekend. Life still goes on while we wait for this magic moment. Continue on and enjoy life. Enjoy your weekend. It is Friday and start living it up. If anything happens, I will put the information out to you. You'll see the text message and there will be an update in the Forum. We will keep you posted. Enjoy your weekend! Keep on Believing! I sure do! It is already done! Rayren98

Backdoc Article: "April 1...Iraq is the best country in the world"
THE GLOBAL DEBT PROBLEM COULD ACTUALLY HAVE A SOLUTION WITH IRAQ'S RE-ENTRY IN TO THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA! WELL, THE TIME HAS COME FOR THAT TO HAPPEN! SOME TIME BACK I WROTE A POST ABOUT IRAQ BEING THE LONELIEST NUMBER 1! WE KNEW BACK THEN OF IRAQ'S MASSIVE MINERAL WEALTH. WE KNEW THAT BLACK GOLD WAS JUST FOR STARTERS SO TO SPEAK. WE KNEW IRAQ SHOULD EVENTUALLY COMMAND THE VALUE FOR ITS' CURRENCY. VERY SOON THE WHOLE WORLD WILL SEE JUST HOW LONELY THEIR CURRENCY WILL BECOME!
FOR STARTERS, ON THIS ARTICLE IT IS SPEAKING FROM A PAST TENSE POSITION. IT'S SPOKEN AS ALREADY DONE ON THE DAY PRIOR TO APRIL! SO LET'S SEE HERE WHAT IS DONE. WELL, AFTER 14 YEARS THERE IS NO MORE TERRORISM IN IRAQ! WOW! NEXT, THEY CONFIRM STABILITY AND SECURITY. STABILITY IMO IS ALL ABOUT LEADERSHIP! THIS LEADERSHIP SHOWS UP AS FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL! DONE! NEXT THEY SPEAK OF ALL THE DISPLACED PEOPLE HAVE RETURNED TO THEIR HOMES, ALL! NEXT, WE KNOW THE FINANCIAL CORRUPTION HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED DUE TO THE NEW DIGITAL BLOCKCHAIN SOFTWARE THAT PROTECTS THE NEW E-DINAR AS WELL AS ALL GOVERNMENT AND BANKING SYSTEMS!
IN CLOSING THEY ADD, "IT'S A BEAUTIFUL REALITY"! JUST LIKE I SAID, PAST TENSE OR HISTORY NOW! DONE, DONE, DONE. WHAT IS THIS NEW REALITY? OH, IT'S CALLED DEMOCRACY! YES, DEMOCRACY IS A BEAUTIFUL REALITY!
CONGRATULATIONS IRAQ, "MR. LONELY" NOW IT'S TIME TO SHOW THAT "NEW REALITY" FINANCIALLY WITH AN INCREASE IN THE VALUE OF YOUR CURRENCY IN THE COMING HRS. OR DAYS!
The BIG Call (via Bruce) We are not getting any information that we thought we would get today regarding the Arab Summit in Jordan where President Arabi [Abadi?] was the 2nd speaker to speak yesterday morning. We believe he made the announcements he needed to make to inform the people what was going on with Iraq, take back of Mosul, etc. I really think that was all done, but not heard confirmation out of the Middle East. We did hear from the Far East that everything was done and accomplished. Are we going to have an announcement out of there and in our news? It is hard to say. I think they are still holding back the discussion of Iraq dinar being revalued, Iraq returning to sovereignty. Remember they will use the terms like Fair Trade Value instead of the term RV... I believe this is imminent for us. I am excited now as I ever have been in my life. It has been one of anticipation. The revaluation of the blessing has started. We are at the end of our road. We are right there for this to manifest for us.
"Public Release" - Intel from TNT RayRen98 3-31-17
I got it straight from my best friend's girlfriend's mother who is 2nd cousin to the waiter who works in the kitchen where his supervisor was at a dinner meeting listening to his cousin's long-time college mate who was roommates to the chauffeur who worked at the motor pool next door to the White House mechanics shop....that the PUBLIC RELEASE of the RV is appearing in a neighborhood near you very soon! And THAT's A FACT!
"Release from Chapter 7" - Thoughts/News from TNT Lilypad
So Abadi says the country of Iraq has completed all the requirements and has made a formal request on Iraqi TV to the UN to release the country of Iraq from the restrictions placed on them by Chapter 7. The UN must formally release Iraq from Chapter 7 to move them into Chapter 8 which gives them an international currency. The formal request has been made by the Prime Minister of Iraq. IMO
BAGHDAD, March 31 (KUNA) - The United Nations Organization for Human Rights (UN) is carrying out humanitarian and relief work for the displaced and restoring stability and community reconciliation, .
The statement added that the Prime Minister called on the international community to "support Iraq to restore stability to liberated cities and REMOVE IRAQ FROM CHAPTER VII to end the file of the occupation of Kuwait and the decisions imposed on the Iraqi people because of the policies of the former regime."
"The people of Iraq have demonstrated their ability to defeat terrorism and expel the oppressor. We are in the final stage of liberating Mosul. Our forces are exerting their utmost efforts to protect the civilians," Abadi said.

May I ask what countries you are referring to when you say "year of transition"? Thanks!
BACKDOC » March 31st, 2017
MOST SIR, ALTHOUGH I KNOW OF OVER 70 COUNTRIES THAT ARE ALREADY DIGITAL! AS THE NEW BUDGETS ARE COMPLETED FOR 2018 THEY WILL BE ASSET-BACKED! AS I MENTIONED EARLIER IRAQS' BUDGET IS ALREADY ASSET-BACKED. DOC IMO
Cole » March 31st, 2017
Ok, TY... would those countries include the ones that we have interest in for currency trade? Vietnam, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, For parity with usd? Also, another one, if the USD is the biggest reserve currency, why wouldn't it go digital first? Shouldn't it be the most cutting edge before any other country?
BACKDOC » March 31st, 2017
YES, THE U.S. DID GO DIGITAL FIRST BUT BEING ASSET-BACKED IS ANOTHER MATTER.
THE NEW DIGITAL DOLLAR IS ASSET BACKED OF COURSE BUT THE U.S. BUDGET WON'T BE DONE IN THAT NEW DIGITAL DOLLAR UNTIL OCTOBER WHEN THEY PASS THE NEW 2018 BUDGET.
FOR NOW WE ARE FUNCTIONING ON FED DOLLARS. I CAN'T TALK FURTHER ON THIS MATTER DUE TO SENSITIVITY.
AS FAR AS THE OTHER COUNTRIES, WE KNEW ON FEB. 8TH WHEN IRAQ WENT E-DINAR "DIGITAL", THAT THERE WERE ALREADY OVER 60 COUNTRIES THEN BASED ON THE SWIFT ARTICLE.
ALL OF THE CURRENCIES THAT WILL R.V.I ASSURE YOU WILL GO DIGITAL! SOME HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING. THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY. DOC IMO

Getting a massage...
Talking about the pain...
Celebrating the accomishment...
High fiving each other...
How are you going to feel?

Nothing but love from me either way.
But how will YOU feel in retrospect.
You only have this opportunity to set this victory up for yourself.
So get your feet on the ground and run.
Finish your own race.
Then party like a champion.
You deserve this.

4-1-2017 Newshound Guru mike If Abadi can find a way to do the right thing for the Kurd's and Sunni's, we have a real chance at watching Iraq grow and flourish economically. Abadi is going to gain a ton of political capital when he captures Mosul, with that he can make real change and begin the process of providing security and stability, two things that are the cornerstone of a healthy country, economy and currency.

If the private banks are going to be involved with investment and engaged with the global banking system, they need to be trained. Clearly if they trained over 500 here they are preparing for significant activities sooner than later.

3-31-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Well we are at the end of March already and we are now moving away from EARLY 2017 timeframe. Still no RV. So what happened? We all should be aware by now what happened and why the CBI will not move forward with the currency reform (the part we want anyhow) until there is STABILITY and SECURITY in Iraq. The aspects must be at levels needed for this to occur. By now all of us also should understand what the CBI means by this statement. Remember Iraq must also get out of sanctions and the UN controls this aspect. But what I do know for certain...is that the CBI will make another attempt very shortly to launch the lower denominations and they will change the rate to a rate conducive to the trading on the global markets. There is now so much evidence pointing in this direction. I am very comfortable where Iraq is right now and know it is just a matter of time.

3-31-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG When we talk about the price tag the IMF and the UN have put on Mosul...one has to wonder exactly what leverage the UN has in this game... It is clear what say the IMF has - they are the IMF... but the UN, on the other hand, not so clear...unless viewed through this narrow window. I doubt the UN will allow Iraq an immediate exit from Chapter 7 - the sanctions, yes... the protection... I just doubt it. What does this mean for us? As long as they are doing as the IMF and UN have laid out for them - no reason the IMF and the UN won't support a return "international acceptance and integration"...and that is all any of us care about.

Hakim warns of announcement of early victory, emphasizes need for new political mentality running Iraq [expanded]
2017/4/1 12:26 • 8 times read
[Ayna-Baghdad]
Warned the head of the National Alliance, Ammar al-Hakim, from the announcement of the early victory over gangs, calling for terrorism, "stressing" Iraq's need to manage a new political mentality. "
Warned the head of the National Alliance, Ammar al-Hakim, from the announcement of the early victory over gangs, calling for terrorism, "stressing" Iraq's need to manage a new political mentality. "
Al-Hakim said during his speech at the official memorial ceremony for the day of the Iraqi martyr, which was held today in his office in Baghdad on the anniversary of the martyrdom of the former Supreme Islamic Council chairman Mr. Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim, and the presence of the three presidencies and senior leaders and a crowd of Iraqi officials and representatives of foreign missions: Today we see the youth of this country fighting, We are in front of a people who can overcome all odds. "
"Today we stand on the threshold of the great victory and we fought a battle that witnessed the whole world as one of the fiercest battles with an enemy armed with a deviant satanic ideology, and an enemy sees death as a means to achieve its evil goals.
"Beware of declaring early victory because the war against the people and the homeland is not over yet, and this war is not over, but we have ended our problems. The enemy is living on our differences and intersections," he said.
"We believe that Iraq will remain at the forefront of events, the most important stop on the path of civilizations, and international and regional influences will remain, but we have a duty to address them," he said. "We have a political situation that reached a high level of suffocation and a security and service phase. More than one million displaced. "
"Despite the challenges we face, we are in a volatile region, where international competition has reached a critical stage, Iraq is at the heart of this region, and the spheres of competition and influence are taking place, but we have a great opportunity for our difficult journey to build Iraq in a way that achieves Aspirations of all his people. "
He stressed the need for a new political and social mind within the framework of the Iraqi constitution for the next phase in order to overcome the dangerous stages that pass through the region and complete the new Iraqi character that adopts honest citizenship in the process of building the state, and calm access to new Iraqi leaders and restore confidence between the people and forces Political and the Iraqis with various components. "
The President of the National Alliance, "We have presented the initiative of national reconciliation from various parties of the National Alliance is not ideal and can be discussed, but a project submitted by the largest partner and the rest of the partners to present their perceptions and deal with the controversial points of the spirit of the solution and the nation.
"The two conferences outside the walls of the homeland I say that national projects must be under the roof of the country and its borders and the doors of Iraq is wider than to be closed to his sons."
He also called on "the judicial institution to consider all the issues before it and resolve it and the return of some personalities who did not commit a crime but are concerned about the return because of the existence of issues on them," warning that "we are in a phase of fragmentation will lose them all and we will accept the same solutions that we did not accept together and then we will lose our people and us Getting things done and accepting the other. "
He pointed out that "we pay tribute to the sacrifices of the martyrs as we meet today a dear memory to the hearts of Iraqis with those who knew the martyr of the mihrab and with whom to deal with him, and our leader martyr Muhammed Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Baqir al-Hakim spiritual and emotional relationship with this country and its people and recorded in his life the title of resistance against injustice And despotism, as in the form of martyrdom, the title of his fight against terrorism. "
"The way he was cited is the same for thousands of Iraqis after him. He was opposed to injustice, tyranny and deviation in his life and his martyrdom, and this is the fate of senior leaders to transform their lives into a bridge of freedom and dignity."
"Our journey in the freedom of this country was long and harsh and full of challenges and critical turning points and the brave leaders stood down in every decline and challenge. Our leaders were wider than geography and narrow calculations. They were legitimate men, vision and responsibility. Our martyrs believed in a diverse, religious,
He pointed out that the martyr al-Hakim "was an artist carrying all the concerns and was a stop for Iraq and al-Qadhiyya and a mind that works with vision, mobility and openness to man from an Islamic concept. Today we miss him very much at this critical and fateful stage of our homeland. Iraq, without discrimination, was the father of all and always dreamed of a single Iraq reconciling with itself, and our Iraqi people is a wonderful example of sacrifice and honor, and was always rising between the ashes renewed and full of dignity and hope and our people do not know despair.
"Today we stand on the threshold of the great victory and we fought a battle that witnessed the whole world as one of the fiercest battles with an enemy armed with a deviant satanic ideology, and an enemy sees death as a means to achieve its evil goals.
"Beware of declaring early victory because the war against the people and the homeland is not over yet, and this war is not over, but we have ended our problems. The enemy is living on our differences and intersections," he said.

April Fool's Trick By itself .. history distorted and unknown reasons
The people of all countries of the world used to lie to each other in a sarcastic way on the first of April of every year, but what is the history of the "April Fool" and its origins?
The "April Fool" is rumored to be a European tradition, which appeared when the beginning of the calendar year was changed in the sixteenth century, with many cities in Europe celebrating the beginning of the year on April 1, while the end of winter and early spring from March 25 to 1 April.
Then came Pope Gregory XIII at the end of the sixteenth century and modified the calendar to begin the year on January 1, and begin the celebrations of the holidays from 25 December. People who have been celebrating the old calendar celebrate sarcastic comments because they believe (April Fool's Day).
This "common" may in itself be the "April Fool's Day", since history has shown that this habit has already emerged.
The 14th century "Canterbury Stories" by Jeffrey Schuster, tales of the "April Fool," deny this "Gregorian" origin.
And then there are many peoples who have a rite of earlier European Middle Ages quite similar to the "April Fool," which asserts that the rumors about the history and origin of the April Fool may be a "lie" in itself.
The April Fools' Month also relates to how and why and where the habit came from.
In 1983, the Associated Press published a report by many media outlets on the origin of the "April Fool" by Boston University history professor Joseph Buskin.
The theory says that the custom began at the beginning of the fourth century AD during the reign of the Roman Emperor Constantine. There was a clown of the palace called Kogel who told the emperor that the clowns could rule better than the emperor. For fun, the Emperor installed a one-day emperor's joker (April 1). The emperor admired the idea and prayed to it and became a tradition every year on the same day. Weeks later, the Associated Press discovered that she had fallen into the trap of "April Fool" and Professor Buskin invented the story.
