Tanzania's Acacia Spat Shows Deepening Battle With Business
Bloomberg
Tanzanian President John Magufuli’s escalating battles with business risk alienating the very investors he needs to drive his multi-billion dollar industrialization policy. On Monday, the 57-year-old leader ratcheted up his dispute with miners by accusing Acacia Mining Plc of operating illegally in Tanzania and insisting the government is owed billions of shillings of unpaid taxes. It’s the latest in a series of broadsides against private investors who are being unnerved by his administration’s Read the full story

The Big Call (via Bruce)
In Iraq what we are hearing from people who are in country that they have begun their celebrations during Ramadan, for the release of Chapter 7 which has already been released. That was on Friday that they were released by the United Nations and given over to Chapter 8. They started their celebration on Saturday being with Liberation Day, and Monday Celebration Day. Liberation day was a day that indicated a new start of sovereignty, a return to the Iraq of old in terms of being a sovereign nation again that resulted from the release of Chapter 7. It also had to do with the liberation of Mosul which was liberated weeks ago. They already had done the house to house cleansing to rid Mosul of ISIS. People have seen some things in the news talking about the liberation of Mosul not being complete. It has been complete.
When it comes to Iraq in the in-country rate of the dinar we have seen there a major increase in the value and rate of the dinar. Everything seems to be to the point where they have done what they said they needed to do. There were a number of arrests in large number of banks over there where they actually made arrests in many of the banks over 800 and had people all ready to come in to take their place... This is something we heard...occurred and believe it did happen. There were number of other arrests made from Iraq’s Parliament that took place as well. A lot of cleanup continues. Well over 1100 indictments for Maliki came down. Just a lot in terms of what is moving Iraq forward. We do believe everything is as it should be over there. We believe here there have been some proceedings that have taken place would allow us to move forward in this whole blessing. We think it is still coming fairly shortly here. We can’t really call it for a particular date. I have heard some really good news about the next couple of days. I feel very good where we are.
"Ripe" - GCR/RV Intel SITREP - Thursday - June 15, 2017
Expect to see a lot more military personnel at off-site redemption centers as Humvee processions loaded with uniformed troops have been seen all over the country's highways and should be considered deployed by now.
Something sizemic is definitely happening.
ZIM screen rates are well above double digits--at face value redemptions--with structure program payouts and NDAs optional.
Trump's resignation is overtly mirroring Nixon's 1974 presidential experience for precedents sake.
Ultimately his resignation is scheduled--by design--to usher in the restored Republic and new gold backed currency.
Everyone good and once bad seems to be following the same script finally (even BiBi Netanyahu in Israel, Poroshenko in Ukraine and the House of Saud with its sudden pull back of the blockade in Qatar).
I'm told all those geopolitical situations are completely surrounded and there's no escaping what the Chinese, Russians and world community want to accomplish, peacefully.
Iraq is on the cusp announcing that they've removed Daesh and Isis from their nation completely after over a decade of war, and do so sometime during the back half of Ramadan.
When in truth, they long have liberated Mosul and are just waiting for the release moment like the rest of us.
Northern Ireland is negotiating with Britain right now to permanently rejoin Southern Ireland in order to make Ireland whole again. Wow!
Palestine is about to recognize Israel, and Israel Palestine, with pre-1967 land returning to the Palestinians (including Jerusalem) as Israelites will finally get to live in peace with their Arab neighbors. Double wow!
It's not reported, but Israel is being shut out financially and militarily until it performs this act. And there's absolutely nothing BiBi or Likud can do about it in the short or long term. Triple Wow!
Global peace. What a concept. And in our lifetimes. Such amazing grace. How sweet love does sound.
Are we waiting another week, day, hour, minute? All of the above?
Yes.
We just don't know when the NPTB will pull the peach, day or night, time or place, but there's no doubt conditions are ripe for an RV.
Perhaps even worse they are way past due.
The GCR/RV is both real and really happening now.
Sadly, when is an unanswerable question even for our best sources. They're frustrated too. Professional credibility and all.
Logic demands a weekend, late at night, over a holiday weekend. And July 4th is in just two short weeks away, so maybe it would serve as the perfect distraction and theme of restoring our Republic plus include a gold backed new currency
Otherwise, we just have to remain patient and play wait'n see. Calm is the only prudent emotion anyone can adopt at this late stage in the RV game.
Chaos is no longer a viable alternative as we found out yesterday Virginia when only the perp died by gunshot.
Leave anger, disgust and indifference for someone else. That baggage is just too heavy in this new era of light (LOL).
It's a little funny.
God is with us.

Citizens are still being told ‘reconciliation that the end of Ramadan’, and then there is a three-day holiday, which takes us to the end of the month. Everything is still saying the end of the month... People were looking for something to happen yesterday in Iraq, but I didn’t get too excited about it, because we keep reading material about ‘after Ramadan’. But if it happens today, that would not surprise me. For me, the next window is after Ramadan, because that’s what Iraq is saying to their people. It’s inevitable; we just don’t know the exact minute, hour, day, or week. However, we do believe it’s coming.

Drink water .. Health and loss of weight
The water is essential for proper functioning of the body organs and maintaining a healthy appearance of the skin and hair, and some studies suggest that drinking water helps to get rid of obesity as well.
Studies have found that eating a large glass of water during food reduces obesity.
In addition to these studies, a Dutch nutritionist used accurate imaging techniques to monitor changes in the stomach and brain during water intake.
The result showed that water efficiency increased by increasing its quantity. In other words, eating at least 350 ml of water during meals doubles the volume of stomach content and stimulates the centers of feeling fullness in the brain at the same time.
This means that those who drink water during the meal are fed faster and therefore get less calories, all of which help to achieve the goal of losing weight without a strict diet and without the feeling of hunger and lack of food.
It is recommended that you drink at least two liters of fluids a day, but using water as a way to lose weight requires not only drinking water, but also eating water-rich foods, as this increases the feeling of satiety. Finished (1)
