"Gerry Maguire Intel - IS CORRECT!" - One Who Knows - 5.14.17
In regard to the Gerry Maguire Intel that was posted on our site earlier today it is:
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!
I have been able to confirm with the highest sources that a Group, in Australia DID IN FACT EXCHANGE $100 Trillion dollar ZIM notes at the rate of $.03/Zim AUD (Australian Dollars) with 6 zeros taken off!
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE FACT!
It was a Pre-agreed to rate in a certain group and it did happen just as Gerry Maguire reported. This means that there was NOTHING wrong in any way with what Gerry was reporting and in fact just the opposite. He has brought valid and important intel to Dinarland that is evidence that the GCR has started.
I apologize for any inferences that his intel was suspect, and in fact I have confirmed that his intel was 100% genuine.
Gerry Maguire, please accept my apology for any hurtful statements that might have been made in my last post. I did say I could not believe it as a NORMAL exchange rate and that it must have been a Special Locked-In Group rate which is what it turned out to be.
It is important to state for the record that Gerry Maguire was the one who brought us this valuable nugget, and for that I thank you Gerry Maguire!

My daughter's 40 yr old violin student went in to the lesson expecting my daughter to have a big grin on her face from exchanging already. He said Tiers 1 and 2 did that a couple of weeks ago and Tier 3 was also exchanging.
Apparently according to him, there was a "sleeping" virus while replacing the Swift system. so he added that it was rescheduled for the 12th but usually when stuff gets rescheduled right away, it’s really a honey trap to test the integrity of the system.
My daughter the skeptic is wondering if this is for real now...lol

5-15-2017 Intel Guru Frank26 1. INITIATION 2. IMPLEMENTATION 3. ACTIVATION. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE POWER BEHIND THESE WORDS...THE FIRST 2 ARE DONE AND WE AWAIT THE THIRD ONE. ALL BECAUSE THE WORLD BANK LAUNCHED THE MONETARY REFORM ON APRIL 28TH WITH THE IRAQI FINANCE MINISTERS, THE GOI, AND ABADI. THE PLAN WAS TO END MOSUL BY APRIL 17...TO ACTIVATE THE MONETARY REFORM ON APRIL 28TH, AND...IMPLEMENT THE MONETARY REFORM IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2017. ABADI TOLD THE IRAQI CITIZENS LAST YEAR THAT DURING RAMADAN HE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THEM BUT WAS UNABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS...DO YOU REMEMBER THAT ARTICLE? THIS IS ALL IN MY OPINION. [post 2 of 2] 5-15-2017 Intel Guru Frank26 FIRST OF ALL THE ISIS CALIPHATE AS OF TODAY [SUNDAY] HAS ENDED AND ONLY 2 DISTRICTS REMAIN IN THEIR CONTROL AS OF THIS MORNING...IRAQI FORCES STORMED 4 DISTRICTS AND HAVE MADE LARGE GAINS...CITIZENS ARE RETURNING TO MOSUL BY THE 1,000'S FROM THE SOUTH TO THE EAST. WE BELIEVE THAT ABADI IS ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE FULL LIBERATION OF MOSUL...I ALSO NEED TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT ABADI IS DOING FOR THE CITIZENS DURING RAMADAN. DON'T EVER FORGET THAT WE SHARED WITH YOU AND SO DID ABADI...THEY WILL BE INTERNATIONAL BY THE END OF THE FIRST HALF OF 2017...THE DEFINITION OF "FIRST HALF OF 2017" IS BY THE END OF MAY/START OF JUNE.

5-14-2017 Newshound Guru Phillyman Article: "Abadi, Sadr near alliance as Maliki renounces majority governance" Quote: "Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is nearing an “electoral alliance” with influential Shia religious and political leader Muqtada al-Sadr in a bid to isolate former PM and premiership hopeful Nouri al-Maliki, according to a newspaper." Could this finally be the tipping point to change the course of Iraqi politics away from Maliki?
5-13-2017 Intel Guru RayRen98 Updates from Iraqi TV since...Wednesday... Wednesday Night: Military leaders on TV today still saying that the goal is to have Mosul liberated by Ramadan. The formal announcement for the total liberation of Mosul should be between the 15th and 19th of May. We "should" see the RV either right before 26 May or during Ramadan which starts on the 26 May. That's what is being said in Iraq in the Mosques. Thursday: 10 percent left to liberate and all ATM's are to be activated soon. More territory was liberated today. Parliament was in meetings and passing more laws. Friday: Iraq stating deals done so that ATM's are now being placed in all post offices in Baghdad and surrounding provinces which will allow access to citizen's MasterCards. Saturday: Iraq TV announced another district liberated today with 13 districts remaining and 2 more main bridges before full liberation is achieved. 5-13-2017 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 The news today is creating a steady "flow" today...a flow like a lava flow...once it is in motion...it is almost impossible to be stopped...a motion that could soon lead to a light speed movement... the BEST is coming.
5-13-2017 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 Since it appears to be a matter of fact that Kurdistan will hold a referendum come late October early November... Since previous articles from past years pushed/delayed the lifting of 3 zeros from the first of the year to June... IF WE ARE CLOSE TO SEEING A CHANGE IN THE CURRENCY... AND SINCE IT WAS SAID TO HAPPEN THE BEGINNING OF 2017...IT IS LOGICAL TO LOOK FORWARD TO MAY 29TH TO JUNE 1ST...AND IT IS LOGICAL TO ASSUME THAT IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN JUNE...IT MAY WAIT FOR THE KURD REFERENDUM AND HELLO 2018!BUT...Since Baghdad would like to keep Kurds interested in a united Iraq...I would think an added value to their currency would lean the scales in that direction...UNITED.
5-13-2017 Newshound Guru G-Lin [new Guru] Article: "ATMs for MasterCard card users" Quote: "the project will be completed within the next few years after the final approvals of the implementation conditions have been completed legally" I'm not too concerned about that 3 year mention. This art. is a very encouraging one. It looks as though Iraq has already accomplished huge things in the banking industry. We are right in the middle of Iraq going digital. E money. And IMO those ATM's will not slow things down one bit. They apparently have already connected to international banks. That is huge. I think the majorities of salaries are being paid on smart cards and that will encourage the peeps to warm up to banks and bring in those 3 0's notes. Once they pull in the liquidity under the mattresses I think they will bring out the LD's. I don't know when that will be of course, but they seem to be on a fast track currently. At least in the banking industry. And that is exactly what IMF has told them repeatedly to do. Finally they are complying.
5-13-2017 Newshound Guru PhillymanArticle: "International Development Bank (IDB) is granted a membership license to MasterCard International" Quote: "The International Development Bank (IDB) on Thursday held the signing ceremony for the contract for the granting of a basic membership license to MasterCard International in Baghdad." I wish the time table wasn't as stated "the project will be completed within the next few years after the final approvals of the implementation conditions have been completed legally" but it certainly is a huge step in the direction of a nation trying to make great strides in their economy. It would also be nice when electricity is running 24/7 to keep those ATMs on.

Scientists: Coffee is much better than palliative pills
LONDON (Reuters) - Coffee is a much better treatment for chronic pain from over-the-counter parenteral pills, according to a recent scientific study conducted by American researchers."Feeling tired greatly increases pain sensitivity, which makes people resort to painkillers," the researchers said.To confirm the results of the study, scientists from the Boston Children's Hospital gave laboratory mice either painkillers, coffee or hypnotic pills, and found that the mice most awake after a dose of caffeine or long sleep were less pain-sensitive than analgesics.The researchers explained their findings, saying drinking caffeine-containing coffee raises the level of dopamine to the center of pleasure in the brain, reducing pain."Five consecutive days of moderate sleep deprivation can significantly worsen pain sensitivity over time," said physiologist Dr. Klu Alexander."Prosthetic drugs can help disrupt the chronic pain cycle, which disrupts sleep, which then promotes chronic pain," the researchers said.Finished (1)
