TNT CONFERENCE CALL WEDNESDAY 4/19/17 DC NY CALL RECAP:
Good afternoon TNT Superfantastic Family. Today is Wednesday Hump Day. It is so quiet and cemetary quiet. Some expecting the roof to be caving in, and there was expectation. There was expectation for today by the bank family, and we were looking for it Tuesday or Wednesday. Then we heard from Iraq. Stop the use of the US dollar with the Iraqi dinar being the only currency being announced yesterday, and the rate would be significantly higher than the current rate. That rate I told you was .90 cents. Nothing has changed and awaiting information for today and watching it develop. We have to wait for whatever day it unfolds. Q&A: .Q: Have you been told personally that you would be the chosen one to give 800 numbers to the group? Ray: No, I have not been told personally that 800 numbers are coming to me, but heard it through the grapevine. Q: Heard Iraq delegation met with the IMF and World Bank? Do you believe the meeting had been moved up? Ray: It could have started today, but others heard Thursday-Friday. Caller: 865 Catnip: There has been a lot of information of PM visit to Mosul and it happened today. Other articles are saying by April 30th everything should be all settled. What have your sources said? Ray: We are not listening to what they say, but what they do. Looking for Reconciliation, Economic Reform and more were saying by April 30th or up until then. Catnip: You mentioned Tony being on a call.. Ray: It will probably be in the moment RV. I don't think you could handle both Tony and me on the call at the same time. LOL. Catnip: You mentioned upcoming Dallas meeting. Is it a post RV event? Ray: That should be post RV. Caller: TX: In you opinion, do you think Iraq is ready now with their system and currency? Ray: Oh sure. People were told that they would bring in their paper money and buy goods and services on their debit card. I think they are in position to do all that, and as far as for us, we don't have to worry about that. We know not to hold the paper currency for a long time and digitize it. That way you don't have to worry about currency being outdated, and once you deposit it you would be fluid and flexible. Caller: 626 Tish: With all these articles out, why are you saying it is quiet? It is not quiet. They are telling everyone their business and getting 840 million at this meeting. That delegation has left, and I believe they are travelling to Washington. They will be there the rest of the week.. I believe they are already liberated and a violin player playing a violin out in the open is normal life and showing they are free. Abadi is out eating in the markets and seems like they can express their grievences. Its not quiet and lots of info. Ray: What of that is telling me that I am going to the bank? That is why I said it is quiet. There is always things going on in Iraq, and you are right in that regard. What I am looking for by my standards that it is quiet. Caller: I suspect you didn't get a confirmation of the SKR's? Ray: That is correct. We also did hear April 30th is when Mosul is supposed to be liberated, however I would like to see it today rather than the 30th. Ray: The last call we threw out a potentional post RV event and throw out another one 19th of May celebrating in Jamaica. That should be a post RV event. Of course we will hang out in Dallas April 30th meet and greet. Where are we? Any day now to the end of the month. Waiting to hear from my SKR people and may say it is here or done. Bank folks still looking at Tuesday Wednesday. We are in the midst of things unfolding. This is the info I am receiving. I report you decide, and we paitently wait. Enjoy hump day Wednesday or later this evening. There is still the expectation, and I believe what I am receiving from my people. I Believe we are there, and anytime between now and April 30th is ok. I prefer now. In the meantime and in between time keep holding on. Hang in there. The writing is on the wall, and before to much longer Proof will be in the Pudding! I Believe! Enjoy your Wednesday!

"Mr. Trump has made some promises and promises," he said during a press conference. "I made this as a humanitarian duty. Everyone has a duty to remind each other. I did it as a humanitarian duty. It does not matter. They agreed or not, I did my duty, and I told him what was the right way and what was the wrong way. "
"I do not wait for an answer, it's public diplomacy, and public diplomacy does not require an exclusive answer. The idea is to address all humanity, but by naming only one person," he said.
"I think Trump chose the path of war despite the promises he made to his people. I said this before and I repeat: this war will certainly lead to the fall of American global hegemony. I have many reasons for this I can explain at another opportunity."
"Iran, the United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey must join together to work primarily for security, dialogue and peace in Syria, and secondly, to help realize the will and sovereignty of the Syrian people," he said. "We must respect Syrian sovereignty and allow the people The Syrian choice of what he wants, and accept his choice no one, no one above the people of Syria, no one. "
"There are many differences between now and then. The world is constantly changing. The days are not the same in the life of the individual. This rule applies to the nation and the country as well, but I do not assume that we are stronger in the political and economic spheres."

He added, "I think that the way the information was presented was incorrect, the nation did not get the right information, we saw that what was said was not achieved ... The sanctions continued and new sanctions were imposed, some of which were extended in the agreement. Around the world, when agreements are reached at this high level, people must be given the right information, asking for their views because it will ultimately affect people. "

Trump reconsidered sanctions on Iran
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said he had spoken to Congress on plans to reconsider whether easing sanctions on Iran as part of a nuclear deal in 2015 was in the United States' security interests.
The announcement came at a time when the White House confirmed that Tehran was carrying out its obligations under the agreement reached under former US President Barack Obama and known as the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan.
"Iran remains the first state sponsor of terrorism through many platforms and methods," Tillerson wrote in a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan.
"President Donald Trump ordered US security agencies under the supervision of the National Security Council to review a comprehensive joint action plan to assess whether lifting the sanctions on Iran related to the implementation of the agreement is necessary for the national security interests of the United States."
Congress receives every 90 days a report on Iran's compliance with the terms of the agreement.
The agreement imposes restrictions on Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for a partial lifting of international sanctions.
Trump has repeatedly criticized the compromise. In an interview with The Times of London and Bild, he called it "one of the worst agreements ever reached."
However, he did not say whether he intended to renegotiate him as he had repeatedly emphasized during his campaign.
The deal was signed in July 2015 between Iran and six major powers - the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany.
Opponents of the accord, including Israel, say that with some of its clauses to expire in 10 or 15 years, Iran will be on the verge of making a bomb.

Rasheed Bank warns employees of "weak souls" on the advances of 10 salaries
(Independent) .... Al-Rasheed Bank warned all employees of the government departments to deal with the so-called "weak souls" in order to obtain the advance of the 10 salaries that were recently launched. He pointed out that the "bad" circles are not covered by these advances until after paying their debts.
"We warn all employees of the government departments to deal with the weak souls in order to obtain the ten salaries that were paid," Rashad Khudair Wahid, the bank's general manager, said in a statement.
He added that "the instructions put a paragraph to prevent cases of extortion by the ministries and departments to submit the names of their employees to the branches of the bank on meals lists signed and sealed by the head of the Department exclusively, and handed over to the branch authorized hand authorized delivery and follow-up.
Wahid added that "the doors of the administration and the communication sites of the bank are open to report any case of corruption to deter it," pointing out that "for the languishing circles, it does not grant advances only in the case of payment of debts of borrowers and borrowers and then be reconsidered coverage.

So they are just giving general statements because they are stalling the process until the GOI gives them the go ahead. Why is the GOI stalling it? They are waiting for more STABILITY and SECURITY, which is imminent since ISIL is almost defeated.

The CBI is just the instrument for conducting the process they have in place for this purpose.

4-19-2017 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...there's some talk in the rumor section that we have an April 30 deadline, but nobody seems to know what it's for. The reason for that is pretty simple... there is no deadline. That's good AND bad... Bad, because it gives them complete freedom to operate as they see fit, and gives us no real way to anticipate the "WHEN" factor here. GOOD, because if anyone could actually predict the RV rate and date, the market would be diluted the hour before RV and a $1 Dinar would be watered down to a penny, if we are lucky. I don't want that, and neither do you, so let's all be grateful that we don't know "WHEN" the RV will occur! [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
