Word on the Street Tuesday 4/18/17



Here's what GoldenLady 

¶  PROTECTING & SECURING BANK ACCOUNTS DURING/AFTER EXCHANGE & ALWAYS!

Things that you need to do now!
■  Have ALL QUESTIONS written down.
■  Have Your ID.   Include PASSPORT, BIRTH CERTIFICATE, UTILITY BILLS with address that help to confirm who you are, your RECEIPTS, if you wish, in a 3-RING BINDER NOTEBOOK.  If you plan on the Bank person signing his/her name/date/name of Bank on each RECEIPT at time of deposit to keep [for tax records], have that ready in binder also, along with your DEPOSIT RECEIPT which is your PROOF that your funds from your exchange have been deposited.
¶  Please check out the wonderful post from DAZ...which may trigger your mind. Link is: http://tntshowtime.activeboard.com/t56942491/personal-binder-and-id-prep-list/
■  You will need to familiarize yourself NOW with an NDA, especially if you are going for the CONTRACT Rate.  You will need NDA & PA. - PRIVACY AGREEMENTS.  Next item will show the reason.  You can find them online & even have your Attorney look at it or he may even make one for you.
■  While on the subject think about this.  TO MAINTAIN YOUR PRIVACY/ SECURITY, obtain PA [privacy agreement] & NDA [non-disclosure agreement] forms for PEOPLE YOU DO BUSINESS WITH.  Use them with your ATTORNEY, CPA, ALL professional contacts, people that you hire to work for your entity, secretary, mechanic, domestic engineers, etc..  Get yet another form suited to individuals and those whom you gift.
■   Remember to KEEP your IQD. in a SEPARATE BANK ACCOUNT.  Why?  That has been strongly suggested for several years, as IQD. may be handled differently for tax purposes [if it is taxed].
■  All OTHER CURRENCIES EXCHANGES can be put together in another account unless later we receive other direction.
■  Do your exchange at a Bank with ABSOLUTE REAL-TIME, ON-SITE VERIFICATION of the CURRENCY you are bringing in, where ALL CURRENCY EXCHANGES ARE INSTANTLY CREDITED TO YOUR ACCOUNTS without additional review or unnecessary delay.
■  Make sure they have a WEALTH MANAGEMENT DIVISION CAPABLE OF SERVING YOUR BANKING NEEDS.
■  Have DECIDED BEFORE you go to the Bank, HOW MUCH DINAR YOU WILL BE EXCHANGING at this one BANK or INSTITUTION & what rate you want to achieve.
The above can in many cases be taken care BEFORE we exchange so take care of it now. 
________________________
The following will be accomplished at Exchange and/or at our meeting with our WM. or Private Banker at our second Bank meeting after we manage to calm down & are thinking clearly again.
These are reminders for the PRIVACY/SECURITY of your Bank Accounts . We need to know these so print this out or make your own list & take it with you.  Check it off as you get them done.
■   FLAG ALL ACCOUNTS as "ACCESS RESTRICTED TO NON-ESSENTIAL BANK PERSONNEL" & TAGGED as "NON-TEST/NON-TRAINING" ACCOUNTS to prevent Banks from using your accounts for new staff training purposes where funds can get lost!
■  NEVER PUT your ACCOUNT ONLINE!   I remember distinctly our DC. telling us several times that he would do his banking the olé fashioned way ~ in person!!!  Remember: NOT ONE THING  is PRIVATE ONLINE!
■   Emphasize:  NO TOUCHING OR TRADING WHATSOEVER until YOU have your MEETING WITH the WEALTH MANAGER [WM] or YOUR PRIVATE BANKER & your Account is FULLY SET-UP!   Remember: THIS will be your SECOND time to visit the Bank.  At that time, I personally will GET THAT FIRST & THIRD POINT IN WRITING ~ SIGNED, DATED & DELIVERED with COPIES.
■   Once the WM or Private Banker & YOU have your meeting, emphasize that there is to be:ABSOLUTELY NO THIRD PARTY ACCESS AT ALL !  [You may wish to get that in writing.]
☆  If disabled,  your Wealth Manager or Private Banker will come to your home!  My Bank has offered that for me.
■  ALL PHONE CALLS + EVERYTHING MUST GO THROUGH MY WM/PRIVATE BANKER ONLY !!!  Then ONLY HE will call me.
■  SET UP A SECRET VERBAL PASSWORD THAT ONLY YOU AND YOUR WM/PRIVATE BANKER KNOW.  You will use this password to do REMOTE BANKING by phone when needed...like raising a spending limit on DEBIT CARDS or SECURE TRANSFERS of FUNDS for PURCHASES or INVESTMENTS. 
■  Add a P.O.D. [pay on death] clause to  EACH ACCOUNT and SIGNATURE CARD that you get. You will need to name/designate a person that can access that money if your die without state probate interference. You list your beneficiary[s] on the Account and upon your death, FUNDS GO DIRECTLY TO YOUR BENEFICIARY[s] without having to go through probate.  All the beneficiary needs is a copy of your Death Certificate.
■   SETUP ACCOUNTS WITH LIMITS for your PROTECTION.  Example: $5000 DEBIT CARD, $25,000 CREDIT CARD, etc. [Or whatever amount you figure is best.]  This too is a SAFETY MEASURE and can be modified at will.
■  Check to be POSITIVE THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR POSSESSION ALL FORMS, DOCUMENTS, RECEIPTS, etc. that have been generated during your Bank visit this day.
I hope this has been helpful for all of you.  I pray for our TNT. & our OM family.   I hope everyone is successful in going forward, making sure of our own family's legacy for generations to come & wisely helping others.
Blessings!

TNT CONFERENCE CALL MONDAY 4/24/17 DC NY CALL RECAP:
Good afternoon TNT Superfantastic Family. Today is Marvelous Monday. We don't have a great deal of info to talk about. Recap and moving forward. From Friday there was a lot of info and things going on. Friday prices dropping in Iraq, 5 day holiday and ends tonight. We are looking for business to start back up tomorrow. Been hearing some dinar prices. Can of coca cola for 5 dinar. Consumer prices drop coca cola 500 dinar to 5 dinar. On TV, don't believe what they say but watch what they do. 6 districts to 16 left and different military leaders saying Mosul is complete. It is not completely liberated but under our control. Where are we? Banks under the impression of seeing us today or seeing coming in on Monday. Monday is not over. There has been more training with banking staff dealing with foreign currencies. Iraq people saying celebrating going on, but price drop is the biggest thing. I am awaiting more new info today but not yet. It may appear before we end the call or end of the day. If that is the case, I will get the info out to you. We are status quo from Friday. More and more comments on prices dropping is the biggest thing right now. Q and A: Q: Have 800 numbers been released? Ray: I have not received any 800 numbers. Q: Will Iraq RV first? Ray: I feel like that has taken place but don't have the info that this has taken place. Q: Are we waiting for the 28th? Ray: Lets go past this question. Q: Do you have any rates? Ray: I don't have any official rates to share with you. These are the most consistent rates I heard in the past couple of years. . Dinar $3.41 Dong: .47 -51 cents.

Ray: Ok Ray's Recap: We are looking for this thing to pop out now until the 30th. Supposedly some announcement in the mosques. Banks people looking for this to pop. We will wait to see if that materializes and groups too. Everything looks good, and we are in an exciting place. Post RV, we should be doing a birthday celebration in May 20, 21, 22. Once this happens, we will let you know when the liasons have dates for post RV bank seminars. There will be a wealth of info from those seminars. Some of those banks will be exchange banks. We will try to have all these seminars as quickly as possible. All we can do is sit back and patiently wait on any new info coming out. The writing is on the wall. Why would prices be dropping in Iraq, or is it the public release of the RV? It is coming for you and for me. While we wait, take advantage of the leveraging opportunities, and we will talk again when warranted. Keep Believing. I Believe! Rayren98

"No SITREP Tonight" - GCR/RV Update - Monday - April 24, 2017
Aloha Community,
I was going to post a very interesting and tangible intel SITREP tonight, really fascinating stuff linking up all the half truths and puzzle pieces, and I might share it with everyone eventually, being so close and all... but not tonight.
Tonight a dear friend let me down in a way I never expected, in a "You broke my heart Fredo," kind of way and I just don't feel up to sharing what I know with anyone.
In future dealings, be wary of unknown khazars with designs on your life position, even if you have gone out of your way to bless them unconditionally.
Know you never need permission to do the right thing, just discipline, and do said right thing just because it's the right thing to do.
Let no being hold your tongue in place of the truth.
Now not everyone will be up to your level or degree of commitment, but let your moral standard be non-negotiable... as what you ultimately accept becomes what you represent.
My feeling is always, "if they knew better, really knew better, they would have done better."
Now I must accept the second face that was revealed to me tonight and just release it. May God bless and keep all the sinners in the heart of Christ.
Ascension can be very lonely sometimes.
Tonight is just such a time for me. Please forgive my Intel absence--I'll return if necessary at a later date.
God is with us.

Kauaihn Chatter:
4-24-2017   Intel Guru RayRen98   On Friday, there was a lot going on, a lot of situations; from the prices dropping to the limited communication to the five-day holiday that ends tonight – and it’s already evening in Baghdad. Businesses will start back up, and these price drops will be seen more and more.  So where exactly are we? Banks were very much under the impression they would be seeing us today...  Some Iraqis have reported celebrations before the holiday and information blackout. The biggest thing is the prices dropping...we are pretty much status quo from Friday.  This think could pop out any time between now and the 1st. That’s what all the sources are saying. It’s all looking good...The writing is on the wall, we can see this is happening. With those prices dropping, the currency is revaluing, or they are having a huge fire sale.

4-24-2017   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article quote:  "...Jaafari, Foreign Minister Saturday, to activate the strategic framework agreement signatory between Baghdad and Washington, stressing the need for concerted efforts by the international community and contribute to the reconstruction of underground infrastructure and the adoption of a project similar to the Marshall plan."  ...in the news last week, the Trump administration talked about oil for USA support in the reconstruction. So I think the US plans a major role in the reconstruction efforts, post ISIS. I believe Trump will set up this situation so American companies will make billions off this effort. But will they even want to come into Iraq with a currency worth an 8th of a cent per dinar?

4-24-2017   Newshound Guru Stryker  Article:  "IMF and World Bank International call for Iraq to proceed with "reforms "federally and locally..."   The dinar is undervalued, which puts it at an unfair exchange rate advantage and now we see the IMF and World Bank demanding that Iraq's government to proceed with financial reform, at the local and international levels.
4-24-2017   Intel/Newshound Guru tman23    They are in the process of monetary reform and getting ready for massive infrastructure rebuilding...I don't believe it is long before we have our answer to our "speculative investment"... AND PLEASE NOTE...I WOULD NOT FOLLOW THIS IF I DID NOT BELIEVE WE THE SPECULATORS HAVE A GOOD CHANCE FOR A POSITIVE OUTCOME...AND I'M NOT TALKING FLOAT AND MAKE A FEW BUCKS!  [post 3 of 3]
4-24-2017   Intel/Newshound Guru tman23   [so what are your thought on them saying that the 3 zeros will be good for 10 years...]   They say they will be in the marketplace side by side with the new currency and it will take approx 2 years to withdraw the majority from circulation...and they will be accepted for 10 years... The 50 dinar was given 2 months to turn in...BUT you can go directly to the CBI and exchange the notes still today...So I have no doubts that the currency will be honored...   [so you think they will have 2 rates?]  OH NO! NEVER 2 RATES... This is exactly what the IMF is getting them off of! The unknown is how will 3 zero notes be treated @ the currency exchange window...  [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]

4-24-2017   Intel/Newshound Guru tman23  ...Lifting 3 zeros is not speculation and has been progressing...The speculation is the 3 zero notes you hold will make you a 1000%  - 3000%  profit... AND the fact is...There has been no indication through legitimate news sources that a huge profit is in the "cards" per se'...nobody knows... The same can be said for the 3 zero notes we hold...NOBODY KNOWS! ...And everything that follows the currency as being highly profitable is pure speculation and opinion...  [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

4-24-2017   Newshound Guru mike   Article:  "Parliament postpones vote on the provincial and district elections law"   They have to get this fixed pronto, delaying elections is a bad move. At some point the GOI are going to have to step up and start getting things done, the IMF/WB are already demanding economic reform as a stipulation for continued financial support. 

4-24-2017   Intel Guru RayRen98  [via sunny]   ...very, very positive the revalue of the Iraq currency will happen before the end of the month because of all the intel ...coming in from within Iraq...multiple contacts inside Iraq sending...information.
