TNT CONFERENCE CALL MONDAY 4/17/17 DC NY CALL RECAP:
Good afternoon TNT Superfantastic Family. Today is Marvelous Monday Easter Monday. Lets get into the thick of the matter. We had an interesting Friday info wise. I was reading where a member posted in chat. I don't give you info to get you into a frenzy, and the info should make you feel that way. I gave info that this may possibly unfold by Friday, and accounts were possibly would be funded. Other than that, we are very excited and said it was coming out and a concerted effort to get this done by today. That doesn't mean it won't happen. SKR folks were told on Friday, but it didn't happen on Friday. We always said the writing is on the wall, and the proof is in the putting. This is very much real and going to happen. However some of the info I cant share with you is rock solid, and timeline may miss by a couple of days. The promise of an RV, I share with you based on all of the info I receive. The result can be a feeling of conviction based on the info I receive. I have no reservations about Iraq Revaluing the Currency. We are now after Easter, but I have info that will make you feel good in the grand scheme of things. I can't draw a conclusion, but expect here is where we are and when it will happen is anyone's best guess. I have not heard from the SKR holders yet, so it appears they are not funded yet. There is some info flowing around about groups, 800 numbers and I have never seen of any of this till this morning. Noone of authority has communicated any of that info to me, and we are one of the key players. I would think we would hear something is that is the case. If there is something of real importance they want the masses to know, I would think I would be contacted and involved in this some way. Where we are based on Friday into Monday, still expectations of any minute. We did get some mosque reports and led to expectations Saturday morning into Monday morning. That did not materialize, and the info then gets shifted back. From that expectation, we are looking at Iraq's saying stop using the USD, and that going into effect to using Dinar only and full international rate on Tuesday. That being 3-4 times the rate which current rate is .89 cent. That was reported to us from neighbors in Iraq, and now believing anyone leaving the country they have to convert Dinar to whatever currency and that rate is.90 cents. We are hearing $2.70-$3.60 per dinar. Q&A: Ray: What the banks say is of great value to me. Q: It has been reported that Fils are in Iraqi banks? Ray: No I don't have a solid source saying that. Q: Are you expecting currency rate to change before E dinar comes out? Ray: yes. Callers: 865: Catnip: I was reading about the IMF World Bank Spring meeting 21st-23rd, and will there be a special session with Iraq/ Ray: I don't know and will know more Wednesday. Ray:There will be a call on Wednesday, but I am not sure what type of call. Catnip: Reports are out about Baghdadi and supposedly captured by the Russians. How significant is it that he is brought to justice? Ray: I don't believe it needs to be in 100% in alignment. I don't believe one has an impact on another. When will you tell us what you heard? Ray: When their business hours start. Caller: The land in Zimbabwe has something to do with the value of the currency. That is what I read. Ray: Thank you sir. Caller: Ray: We are just at the beginning and need the RV to happen. Where we are going after this is the important part. The RV is not the end all. It is the beginning. Caller:Is there a place in Louisiana to do an exchange? Ray: I am sure there is when it is exchange time. Ray's Wrap up: Exciting times! We are still looking for it this week and waiting for tomorrow. We will find out one way or another. I am still looking for this week or by the end of the month. I am going with the info I am hearing. We always promise we would share what we are hearing and it is positive. I will take it day by day and based on the info I receive. We will see what we see when we see it. I am still feeling like 24 hours will tell us a whole lot, and if I have something exciting to share, I will text it out. In the meantime and in between time keep smiling. I believe it is still in sight and rapidly approaching this phase and a new beginning. I do Believe! It is already Done! Rayren98

4-17-2017 Intel Guru Frank26 The CBI and GOI is meeting with the IMF and WB. If it was just with the IMF i would say it was a regular continual meeting...But it's not. There is no countdown for a DATE...YOU KNOW THAT. But IOO...There is a Change coming and...YOU KNOW THAT. ...may I point something out ...the indicative rate has not been on the CBI website all year ...they break laws but consider this ...they don't show you 1000 to 1...they will never show you one to one so when they lift the three zeros they won't even show you that...In the still of the night they will simply apply it and go about their business...
4-17-2017 Intel Guru Delta CBI AND GOI WILL MEET WITH IMF AND THE WORLD BANK ON FRIDAY 21ST FOR 3 DAYS.
4-17-2017 Intel Guru Frank26 ...I have gone Silent this week...For the things that are happening inside of Iraq must come out in their voice and it is wiser that I have no Voice...Until next Week. [...it actually seems like its going down this month or the first of next.] Normally...If One can smell something...One is about to taste it.
4-17-2017 Intel Guru RayRen98 From my understanding, there was a concerted effort to get this done this weekend. Everything indicated that, but it didn’t. This is very much real and happening...I have no reservations about Iraq revaluing its currency; I thought it would happen a week ago, then some were being told Easter or immediately thereafter. That’s where we are now, but that is not saying “it is coming today”. Here is where we are, based on Friday coming into Monday – all the information is still holding, expecting this any minute. Exciting times! I do think it will happen this week...definitely think we will be exchanging by the end of the month. Twenty four hours is going to tell us a whole lot...the end is in sight and we are rapidly approaching the phase of this trip that we have been looking for.

Imagine knowing what would be happening on Tuesday motioning 9/11/2001 back on Monday night 9/10/2001?
Imagine knowing that every worldwide sovereign family leader and government, plus all militaries and banks, media and diplomats, were secretly awaiting a once in a lifetime, massive financial transition in some "Lord of the Ring" type passing of the torch to peacefully transfer control of mankind... only to wake up to the horror of the attacks at 8am EDT.
As 9/11 was the exact same day (and time) the world was to loving transition control from dark to light ... and sadly did not.
Imagine knowing who was behind the devastation, the planning, the reasoning and the misery that was sure to follow as the former torch bearers refused to surrender their global monetary throne no matter what was pre-negotiated and agreed to years and decades earlier.
The cabal just backed out. Just like that. And started an invisible currency world war in its place. Done in plain sight for all the world to witness, yet only a select and privileged few knew who, what, where, when or why.
Flash forward 16 plus years and the financial system again finds itself on the eve of such a colossal transition, very differently this time, but none-the-less exactly the same.
Tonight is your 9/10 moment of knowing what is to come tomorrow morning before the rest of the world has nary even a clue.
You know what tomorrow brings and have prepared for it, some for years, some for decades, but all to emotionally be ready and intellectually accommodate the infinite flow of mercy with the remainder of your living days.
Imagine tonight what the future might hold for you and all of humanity tomorrow? It's quite a dynamic moment in your life if you believe it so.
Do you?
Because that's where we stand tonight, 4/17/17, awaiting this indescribable blessing to come on 4/18/17, when all the western banks and markets are open to start the true international business week post Easter book keeping 2016.
Never forget 9/11 is why 4/18 took so long, and all were made to wait until it was safe.
God is with us.
