Iraq's Sumo and Litasco are establishing an oil trading company in Dubai
May 03, 2017
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iraq's oil companies SOMO and Litasco have established a joint venture in Dubai to market crude oil, with other Middle East producers buying and selling oil to boost their income, trade sources said. The new project, called Lima Energy, is a working group for the Dubai Multi Commodities Center (DMCC), the sources said, adding that trading activities would include Iraqi, Russian and other materials.
"Lima will receive its first shipment of Iraqi crude this month," a source said.
The sources added that Lima was founded along the lines of Oman International Trading, which started as a joint venture between OOC and Vetol but is now wholly owned by OOC. Its activities include the trading of Omani crude, oil products and liquefied natural gas. One source said up to 10 Somo employees, including the head of shipping activities, might be loaned to the new company. And Litasco, a unit of Russia's Lukoil, which develops oil fields in southern Iraq, is one of the world's largest trading companies. Last month, Iraq's oil ministry said it had agreed with Litasco on an oil marketing project but gave no details at the time.
Last week, Sumo sold its first shipment of Basrah Light crude through a tender on the Dubai Mercantile Exchange, possibly a move to find the price. Omani crude sold in Asia is currently being traded on the Dubai Commodity Exchange.
Other oil producers have established trade companies. Aramco, the world's largest oil producer, founded Aramco Trading in 2012 to market refined products, base oils and petrochemicals.

TNT Intel Update for 05/02/2017:
@THE_TNT_TEAM: An update has been placed in the Forum for your review and consideration. #wearethepeople
Iraqi TV is showing a news flash ticker at the bottom of the screen strolling on all television programs with the message: "In the coming days, full liberation of Mosul will be announced."
Fierce fighting is being reported in western Mosul.
Iraqi TV is reportedly saying the end of Daesh is in the coming "hours."
Time Will Tell All! #wearethepeople
Blogs:
Frank26 The RV of the IQD is coming.Iraq also desires to have a currency of pride. You want an RV of the IQD. Abadi wants to free his people in Mosul / Iraq.The MR (Monetary Reform) is coming. So Abadi tells us...maybe 3 more weeks. Give me until the 20th of May.The troops are doing their very best. They've got to get the citizens out of the way. Daesh is running away...but they are still using the citizens. Mosul is a very large city...and they are clearing it. They need to FINISH and bring the people home...and then give them the power of purchase – which has already started. The MR continues to flow... One final word...IMO...in my STRONG opinion...the MR of Iraq will happen this year ...please be ready for it!
Frank26 On the 28th... basically the GOI was pointing their fingers at the CBI...telling them to open the windows to investors. Turns out...Abadi didn’t do it. GIVE ME MOSUL...GIVE ME THE GRAND OLD MOSQUE inside of MOSUL... and you will see the speed of the MR in a completely new light. Abadi said that he would give us Mosul by the end of April. Abadi failed...? No he didn’t. There is something INSIDE of the Grand Old Mosque that you must consider. Inside of Mosul...there are many civilians that are being held hostage by Daesh. THIS IS WAR ...THIS IS NOT A GAME...nor a place for anyone to rant and demand for an RV.

Bank Story by Commander 7
In the past I would go into Chase Bank say Halo to those who work there some would reply others where busy with their clients. I would get my banking done and leave.
Last week I went in again. A bit different this time. All the sudden the banking personal circled me saying Halo they left their clients for a bit, shaking my hand and asking if I needed any help with anything, small talk in between. They know I have Zim and other currency. Actually they have a list of people to contact when this goes live.
I am very thankful for their service. Although I would prefer that wonderful service would be shown to all their clients. If they have $5. or $5T
SPS SOON PEOPLE SOON !!!!!
With Great Peace and Love

The Big Call w/ Bruce Intel Notes by PinkRoses 5-2-17
Bruce: Welcome everyone to the Big Call tonight. We have a nice international reach now. We are getting heard in different parts of the world that we didn’t use to a few years ago. I believe last Tuesday call we had about 370 people from Kurdistan that listened in. That is amazing. I am pleased that we are reaching the Middle East as well as other parts of the Globe as the Far East, South Africa, South America as Argentina, Central America, Mexico, Canada, Europe as in France, Great Britain, etc.
Bruce: I am pleased and love that today is May 2, 2017 and we have May Day is over. This May Day is a lot different because it seems to be more about a worker socialism day, something that closed the banks around the world except for United States, Canada, and Australia. Those 3 countries were the only ones that the banks were actually open. What that did it focused on the some of the attention and Intel we got, but it didn’t please a lot of people that were doing international type transactions because they couldn’t complete them yesterday. It took until the markets opened in China and Hong Kong about 9:00pm, 9:30pm last night to sort of bring everything back again. It was sort of a pause day for us.
Bruce: It didn’t mean things didn’t occur but they did, but they occurred later in the day yesterday and last night. In fact a large fund out of the Philippians was opened up last night at about 6:00pm PST or9:00pm EST. That was opened up and released it was released not to just us, but to 192 countries. This fund will be used to fund hundreds of thousands humanitarian projects. The release of this fund, referred to as” the bottomless pit”, a large fund is just almost the bottomless pit. When that opened up that was the last major thing to occur before the blessing is to be release to us.
Bruce: We know that we have had Tier 1, 2, and 3 account transactions handled with some liquidity and access to funds, and still some with funds showing in the banks with a pending signal by the account. They can see there is money in the account, but no access to the account. My understanding is that status could change even overnight tonight. That is very encouraging. Those of us in Tier 4, the Internet group, will probably start very shortly because we are at the point we are ready for that to occur. We had a pause between Sunday and yesterday with May Day going on.
Bruce: What is going on in Iraq? My understanding is a number of announcements, 5 or 6, were made in the Mosques a few days ago. We may have the availability to hear those announcements or some other announcements relative to those tomorrow morning Iraq time, or late tonight United States time. We have been told those announcements were scheduled for a day later, but since things are moving along nicely they may move those up to the time frame I mentioned.
Bruce: I believe there were 3 announcements made this morning regarding Iraq, China, and United States that were made mid morning today, but not for our ears. Not for us, but for the international financial community. Those occurred and served the purpose they were designed for.
Bruce: We do know the banks are synchronizing the rates of the currencies in the first basket and a 2nd basket have been trading. Currencies we hold already for exchange have been trading upward. The rates have been going up. They continue to go up into an area we didn’t expect. I didn’t expect them to be this high, the range this high, and this includes all of them. Everybody should be extremely pleased.
Bruce: The rates were changing so dramatically that the screens were flickering, flashing to where you couldn’t see the rates stabilized unless you had a strobe light. That changed from the situation yesterday where today the rates were updating, flashing approximately every minute. They are visible and you can see them, but subject to some increase due to trading. That is positive for us. It is sort of like they are settling down. The flashing on the screen has reduced from high changes to stable every minute or so. We can look at it as though the banks around the world continue to get updated with new rates and synchronize and in prep mode for this to release.
Bruce: When are we going to get the toll free number? My understanding is I will receive the toll free number. I am honored to be selected for that purpose. I will take that information with good care, and follow the protocol. If I were to receive the number in the middle of the night, this is to be a day time event. I may get instruction to release it during the day. I don’t know that yet. They do want this to be a day time event.
Bruce: I know that security has been beefed up, and still on active status at the Redemption Centers, and at some of the banks that have international currency trading desks and also participating in this. Most of us will have an 800 number that will focus us toward the Redemption Centers. People will be able to utilize some Tier 1 and some of the 2 banks. Some of the major banks will be in a position to exchange the ZIM for a very short time, like 4 days. Then they will be changed to HSBC. They will be feeder banks that will help HSBC collect the ZIM currency out there that a customer might have that exchange through the Tier 1 and some Tier 2 banks for a very short period of time.
Bruce: Most of us will use the 800 number and have it on the Big Call website: thebigcall.net for a period of time as long as we can keep it there. You can go to the site to see it, and post it couple of locations online that you are use to going to. That is the overall plan for finding out when and all that. Check the web site:thebigcall.net occasionally to see. We are not going to email anybody nor do mass mailing. That is not in the plan
Bruce: Today is Tuesday. We hope that the release takes place before our next call, Thursday night. We will do a call next Thursday if we don’t have the blessing prior. If we do, we will probably not do a callnext Thursday, but do a pre-celebration call, do a link and place it on our site and couple of other locations.
Bruce: This call, the Big Call, we tried to keep this call a non political call 6 years ago. We have listeners from both sides, Independents, a variety of listeners. My goal is to provide accurate information, things you can use, and with Big Call University we bring information no one else have, but something you can use and also Pastor Steven teaching. To have that team and that type of information I love the fact we can put that out in a way that edifies people. Allows them to grow, learn, and experience something new on every call. I appreciate the faithfulness of the listeners we have on the Big Call.
Bruce: We are not a political call. We generally don’t go there. You know tonight one of the biggest things we will ever do is Rebuild America. I came up with this a few months ago. It does mesh nicely with President Trump’s agenda to make America great again. It dove tails with that concept nicely. I am pleased that things are moving in that direction for us as a country. I think we can come together we all want the very best for our country. We do want America rebuilt. We want America be great again.
Bruce: I am not trying to polarize anyone on this call. I am encouraged that the President and the Administration is looking to put together r a very postage tax plan for us to allow us to yes pay less taxes probably but be able to do things that will really inspire and build our economy in this country to bring it up to a thriving economy. It is about creating jobs, helping people and lifting and elevates people and raising the playing field for everybody. When we help people whereof it is around this country, we won’t care whether they are politically. We are not going to get in to the politics s of it.
Bruce: I want to applaud the administration and President for taking us in that direction. I know not all is in agreement with everybody on this call. We want to help other people, less fortunate as well. We are called to do, that is part of this blessing. We know this is coming for us and a very real sense we have been chosen for a time for this. When we go about to rebuild America, helping the veterans, the missionaries and all we do with community gardens, aquaponics, farming, it is to help our country as a whole. I want you to realize that is what we want to bring. It is not a political agenda. Agenda of one, a concept we come together to be one, a force that is more loving, caring, and giving, and forgiving of each other and others. That is my heart, you know my heart.
Bruce: You have heard me for years talk about how we love everybody on this call. We want to show you that, as we take this thing not just to the United States but also around the world. There is a lot of need. That is why when you go into the Redemption Centers and see rates available and you have private negotiable rates on the ZIM that can take it sky high, consider what you plan to do with these funds. What I want to do is use my god fund for all my humanitarian projects and ministry. Maybe some of you want to do this too, and go with a god fund too using 95 percent or more of your ZIM exchange for your god fund.
Bruce: I am looking forward to partnering with many of you who are listening to the call. I am looking for at least 5000 to be part of the rebuild America program. To rebuild cities, build cities, schools, clinics, recreation centers, etc. Big call and Big Call University is here to serve. I am excited about this and coming together with a new portal, website, podcasts, cine together let you blog and have all of that and there we will have a template what we plan to do around the country in the 50 states and 100 cities, adopt a city, adopt a town, adopt a community. That is the concept behind Rebuild America.
Bruce: I just want to thank anyone that is listening from the administration to know our heart on this. Anything we do to rebuild America we are trying to come together as a nation, not here to divide but to unify. That is what I am saying and sticking to it.
Bruce: Thank you Sue, Bob, Pastor Steven, Kent and all for listening. We appreciate you listening to the Big Call. WE are looking for this to come in way of our blessing very shortly and hopefully before ourThursday night call which case we will let you know with a short celebration all in a form of a link and a toll free number will be posted on the Big Call website. We will let you know when that occurs. Check the site every once in a while. We do believe it will be a day time event. I believe the instructions will be put it out sometime in the day, don’t know when. We will find that out.
Bruce: Thank you all for tuning in tonight, and all those in the banking community, and those in the Trump Administration for listening in. Thank you everybody, stand firm, and now we stand in faith. Good night everybody.

THANK YOU BIG CALL AND BRUCE, HUGSSS
NOTE: Due to helping out my family, my Sister-in-law is now or soon will be entering into hospice for ALS disease. I need to be there for her and my brother more. With that in mind, I will only be able to transcribe on Tuesday nights for the Big Call. I am very sorry that I will not be able to transcribe on Thursday nights anymore. I hope you all understand. Our family is very close, and we are always there for each other, and I need to be there more than ever now and not just on the weekends. Again, I will still be transcribing on Tuesday nights until this blessing occurs, and just maybe it will be so before Thursday. That would be awesome for all of us and those of whom we will bless. Thank you.
Love and Hugs to All,

"Rx" - GCR/RV Intel SITREP - Wednesday - May 3, 2017
Mercury Retrograde ends today May 3rd at exactly 12:22pm EDT in NYC.
That's also the exact time FBI Director James Comey will be testifying before a Senate Oversight committee in Washington, D.C. regarding his agency's Trump/Russia investigation.
Then on May 8th, a four day post Mercury Retrograde shadow phase ends as it passes through a high intensity period, exactly at the same time recently fired Obama appointed former Attorney General Sally Yates will be testifying before the House Intelligence Committee.
These two events are scheduled in this way, by the Chinese Elders, for a specific astrological reason.
However on Sunday May 7th, the second phase of voting will commence in the French Presidential elections.
Remember, France sits on the UN Security Council with one of five permanent member veto votes. Meaning, France can legally either stop start warfare... globally.
There is a prevailing belief among RV analysts that sometime during the post Mercury Retrograde shadow period creates the best astrological "launch effect" for a private redemption release.
There is another analytic belief that the Elders will wait until after the Retrograde (Rx) post shadow phase because of the French elections, and allow them to complete before releasing global monies in volume as a large financial event such as this could artificially influence the very important geopolitical election.
We know too private ZIM redemptions have been segmented separately from other currencies in terms of priority, and will will proceed on its own with a separate in-take strategy, apart from the other currencies due to printed face volume.
Precisely when mass US redemptions begin is still an unknown, but we understand all military and security personal, uniformed and plain clothed, have been deployed and are right now stationed near their targets.
The private redemption period is now to be considered a sovereign redemption period, as sovereign rates are what's re showing on front screens.
This eliminates negotiating decision making and speeds up the overall redemption process.
It's also a reward to loyal humanitarians by the Elders who righteously waited to serve their fellow man.
God is with us.
Kauaihn Chatter:
5-3-2017 Intel Guru Bruce What is going on in Iraq? My understanding is a number of announcements, 5 or 6, were made in the Mosques a few days ago. We do know the banks are synchronizing the rates of the currencies in the first basket and a 2nd basket have been trading. Currencies we hold already for exchange have been trading upward. The rates have been going up. They continue to go up into an area we didn’t expect. I didn’t expect them to be this high, the range this high... WE are looking for this to come in way of our blessing very shortly... We hope that the release takes place before...Thursday night.
5-2-2017 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV is showing a news flash ticker at the bottom of the screen strolling on all television programs with the message: "In the coming days, full liberation of Mosul will be announced." Fierce fighting is being reported in western Mosul. Iraqi TV is reportedly saying the end of Daesh is in the coming "hours." Time Will Tell All.
5-2-2017 Newshound Guru mike Parliament is the main hold up for progress in Iraq, they control the legislature and Iran controls them. How many laws are we still waiting for? How did ISIL get into Anbar Province and keep it for two years? I could go on but the lack of political will is the problem in Iraq and we can lay that at the folks who control most of the Iraqi politicians...Iran... I predict that even when ISIL is removed from Iraq the same old problems that have plagued them since Saddam was removed will remain and further stymie progress. I hope I'm wrong. Here's hoping the UN can get it done, it seems like a long shot without the legislation necessary to create the open market economy.
5-2-2017 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article: "Vice: oversees the United Nations five-year plan for economic development in Iraq" Quote: "this time is different from its predecessors, because the United Nations oversees this plan and has allocated a large sum for her, that's why we think the success of this plan." UN means the IMF and World Bank. We should be excited.

5-2-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...in recent weeks we were told by an Iraqi general that it would take another 3 weeks to “fully” liberated Mosul. I think this was perhaps on his response to Abadi’s request to have it done by April 30th? So today is May 2nd we get an announcement it could be only a few more days. All we can do is wait and listen to the rest of the news that comes out this week. This could be an interesting week.
5-2-2017 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article: "Abadi: We prepare for the announcement of the great victory" Quote: "According to a statement to the Office of the Prime Media Minister, Abadi said, in his speech , a festival of national unity , which was held under the slogan ( the great victory on our way towards peace): «We are gearing up to announce a great victory, the biggest priority of peace..." Let's hope so.
5-2-2017 Intel Guru Frank26 The RV of the IQD is coming. Iraq also desires to have a currency of pride. You want an RV of the IQD. Abadi wants to free his people in Mosul / Iraq. The MR (Monetary Reform) is coming. So Abadi tells us...maybe 3 more weeks. Give me until the 20th of May. The troops are doing their very best. They've got to get the citizens out of the way. Daesh is running away...but they are still using the citizens. Mosul is a very large city...and they are clearing it. They need to FINISH and bring the people home...and then give them the power of purchase – which has already started. The MR continues to flow... One final word...IMO...in my STRONG opinion...the MR of Iraq will happen this year ...please be ready for it! [post 2 of 2]
5-2-2017 Intel Guru Frank26 On the 28th... basically the GOI was pointing their fingers at the CBI...telling them to open the windows to investors. Turns out...Abadi didn’t do it. GIVE ME MOSUL...GIVE ME THE GRAND OLD MOSQUE inside of MOSUL... and you will see the speed of the MR in a completely new light. Abadi said that he would give us Mosul by the end of April. Abadi failed...? No he didn’t. There is something INSIDE of the Grand Old Mosque that you must consider. Inside of Mosul...there are many civilians that are being held hostage by Daesh. THIS IS WAR ...THIS IS NOT A GAME...nor a place for anyone to rant and demand for an RV. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

On May 3, the world celebrates World Press Freedom Day.
This day serves as an occasion to inform the public of violations of the right to freedom of expression and as an occasion to remind them of many brave journalists who have enriched death or imprisonment in order to provide them with daily news.
The third of May was chosen to commemorate the adoption of the historic Windhoek Declaration during a meeting of African journalists organized by UNESCO and held in Namibia on 3 May 1991.
The Declaration states that freedom of press can only be achieved by ensuring a free, independent and pluralistic media environment, a precondition for ensuring the security of journalists in the performance of their functions and to ensure that crimes against press freedom are investigated promptly and accurately.
More than 430 journalists were killed in Iraq after 2003, among the most dangerous countries in the field of journalism and media.

2017/5/2 17:04
An Indonesian woman who proved to be "the world's biggest man" - a death, aged 146 - was confirmed and his identity card confirms that he was born on December 31, 1870, according to the Daily Mail.
Mabah Goto, who lives in Saragin, central Java, Indonesia, lived to witness the death of his four wives, ten brothers and even all his children.
The officials of the local documentation office said that they were able to prove that the identity card of the man was genuine and that his date of birth was genuine.
Despite his long life, Goto wished a year ago that he would not stay on this land longer, as he lived to see the children of his grandchildren.
One of the man's descendants said that his grandfather had been hoping to die since he was 122 years old and had already bought a site to bury him near the graves of his children since 1992.
Goto spent most of his time listening to the radio, because his eyesight is very weak, he is a bad smoker, and when asked about the secret of longevity, he answered "patience."
