What do we have so far to have all bases loaded. We have Iraq talking about this as the final victory week with the final victory celebration upcoming. The public celebration is already on the way for the troops. All the articles are referencing things in the past tense when it comes to the liberation of Mosul fighting ISIS. Ramadan is supposed to end on the 25th of June by EID. It is believed that Iraq will be celebrating before the end of Ramadan due to the liberation of Mosul. The prime minister 3 country travel around Iran, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and it is believed he is back already. There are articles that have come out about the agreement between Iran and Iraq on the international or national level using their currencies. What could that be about? Could it be that all 3 are going to come out and say the same thing and then match up rate wise? Could that be the first sign of a mini GCR and then for the rest to unfold accordingly ? Time will tell? What is going over here in the US? Some reports are saying that the banks had a glitch in the system, and we have heard that before. Of course some groups are ready to roll saying they have rates on screens. Paymasters are getting ready to get paid. Everthing is out there. I decided to share that with you about the groups, since we are not in the groups anyway. However a lot of you are involved in that. Not a lot of hot intel today. Q and A: Q: Dr. John, anything pointing to before this weekend? Ray: I think I just did that for you. Final victory week says before this weekend. This is the final victory week.

Ray: I truly believe we are at the end of this, but won't be till we are in the bank. I don't think Mosul really mattered and was a scape goat to delay things. All of that happened for a reason. I believe a lot of things happen intentionally on purpose, and everything is manufactured for a reason and to get us to where we are now. They can't stop this, and it is inevitable that the value of their currency will change. Caller: 210 Is there a change in the number of banks that are more than just dong?

AIIB Assessing Iranian Projects for Funding
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is ready to finalize the assessment report on projects introduced by Iran to the China-based lender to receive funding, AIIB’s deputies announced.
During a meeting with Iranian Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Ali Tayyebnia, the deputies presented the draft report of the assessment of Iranian projects prepared by AIIB’s departments to Tayyebnia.
Tayyebnia met with two deputies of AIIB on Monday and informed them that Iran has completed the process of full membership in the bank, Shada, the official news service of Economy Ministry, reported.
According to the AIIB report, the lender is making the final assessment of sewerage projects in three Iranian provinces, which will be presented to the bank’s board to get approval for the required credits.
The meeting was being held on the sidelines of the Second Annual Meeting of AIIB’s Board of Governors which took place in Jeju, South Korea, on June 16-18.
“In line with the government’s policies to expand relations with international organizations and as a founding member state, the Iranian Parliament ratified the country’s membership in AIIB and the [constitutional watchdog] Guardians Council has approved it, therefore the process of full AIIB membership is finalized,” Tayyebnia said.
“The assessment process of projects that Iran introduced are progressing well, as AIIB sends delegations to Iran and it is hoped that after previous follow-ups by Iran, the financing of aforementioned projects is approved by the bank’s board,” he added.
The Iranian Parliament has ratified the country’s membership in AIIB in August 2016 and authorized the Iranian government to purchase 15,808 shares of AIIB worth $580,800. It also permitted Iran’s participation in AIIB’s future capital increase.
Tayyebnia emphasized that developing relations with Asian countries and regional international institutions is of great importance for the Iranian government.
President Hassan Rouhani had sent the bill for Iran’s membership in Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to the Majlis back in December 2015. The bill specifies that membership in AIIB is in accordance with the country’s declared foreign policy to foster relations with Asian states and help augment Asia’s resilience in times of international crises.
Iranian Backing
The Iranian economy minister expressed his satisfaction over the sagacious management of the bank, which is not motivated by political considerations but based on technical and expert criteria.
Tayyebnia also said Iran is prepared to expand relations with AIIB in other fields such as receiving technical assistance or providing manpower for the bank.
An international financial institution, AIIB aims to support infrastructure development in the Asia-Pacific region. It was proposed by the government of China and consists of 57 member states, or “founding members”.
The bank is widely regarded as a strong and emerging rival to western lenders, namely the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, both headquartered in Washington.
AIIB operates with a capital of $100 billion, equivalent to two-thirds of the capital of Asian Development Bank and about half of the World Bank.
Along with 26 other initial founding member states, Iran signed the bank’s constitution on June 29 in Beijing and currently holds 15,808 shares, or 1.61% of all the shares, granting the country a 1.63% voting rights.
Tayyebnia also announced Iran’s support for AIIB in approving new memberships in order for the bank to become the biggest international development bank.
Last May, AIIB announced that it had approved the membership of seven new countries, namely Bahrain, Bolivia, Chile, Cyprus, Greece, Romania and Samoa, which brings the bank’s total members to 77 countries.
According to an internal list of “potential new members” circulated to delegates, the bank’s complexion is set to change with a surge in applicants from Africa and Latin America, Financial Times reported.
That would allow AIIB, which can only fund projects in member countries, to rapidly expand its presence in both regions, as western governments wrestle with the consequences of the UK’s vote to withdraw from the EU.

In a surprise announcement .. King Salman exempts the crown prince and appoints his son Prince Mohammed instead
Release Date: 2017/6/21 8:31 • 495 times read
The king of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdul Aziz, has issued a royal decree to exempt Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef from office, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.
King Salman decided to appoint his son Mohammed bin Salman as crown prince instead of Mohammed bin Nayef.
Thirty-one of the 34 members of the Allegiance Commission voted for Mohammed bin Salman as crown prince in Saudi Arabia.
He called on King Salman to pledge allegiance to his son, Mohammed bin Salman, crown prince after Taraweeh prayers on Wednesday at Safa Palace in Mecca.
The deposed crown prince led the pledge to his successor Mohammed bin Salman on Saturday morning.
The surprise announcement came two and a half years after significant changes in Saudi Arabia, which surprised its allies in 2015 by waging war in Yemen and cutting energy subsidies, as well as its proposed 2016 partial privatization of state oil company Aramco.
The Royal Order, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), included the following: "Article B of Article 5 of the Basic Law of Government shall be amended to read as follows:" The ruling shall be in the sons of the founding King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Faisal Al Saud and the sons of the sons. To judge the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the sons of the founding king will not be the king and crown prince of one branch of the descendants of the founding king. "
The royal court said in a statement that after reviewing the basic statute of the government and after reviewing the Royal Order No. (A / 160) dated 10/6/1436 AH, and the supporter of the vast majority of the members of the Allegiance Commission for the selection of HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to be Crown Prince.
The royal statement added that "based on what is required by the public interest, ordered us to:
First: Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is exempted from the Covenant, and from the post of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior.
Second: The selection of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud as crown prince, and the appointment of a deputy prime minister while continuing as minister of defense, and continuing with other tasks assigned to him.
Thirdly: We shall inform the competent authorities of its adoption and implementation.
Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz was an adviser to the former interior minister, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef.
Abdul Rahman bin Ali al-Rubaian, deputy interior minister, was relieved of his post and appointed as an adviser to the Royal Court under the rank of minister and the appointment of Dr. Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Salem as Deputy Minister of the Interior.
Al-Salem was deputy interior minister.
A royal order was issued to exempt Nasser bin Abdul Aziz al-Daoud, an adviser to the Royal Court from his post, and to appoint him as the Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior.
On Wednesday, King Salman also ordered the extension of the Eid al-Fitr holiday and the return of all allowances, bonuses and financial benefits to civil servants and military personnel.
SPA said that a royal order stipulated "the return of all allowances, bonuses and financial benefits to civil servants and military personnel referred to in Cabinet Resolution No. 551, which were canceled, amended or suspended to what they were, .
Another royal order was issued to extend the Eid al-Fitr holiday to 15 Shawwal for all employees of the government sector, instead of 7 Shawwal

6-21-2017 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [I am starting to wonder if the Iraqi's are feeding the world false information.] Actually, I believe the opposite is happening. Iraq is trying to keep things quiet, but the newshounds we have here pick up on damn near every little hint they let slip. You'll notice that a lot of the things you'll see...that seem important are not major items in the MSM... there's good reason for that. 99% of the world simply doesn't understand that some of these seemingly insignificant things are setting up something much bigger.
6-21-2017 Intel Guru RayRen98 What else to do we have? The PM, his 3 country travel- Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia. It is believed that he is back already. There's already been articles that have come out about the agreement between Iran and Iraq on an International level or National level, if you want to call it that, using their currencies. Hmm, what could that be about? Could it be that all three are to eventually come out and say the same thing? Then, match up rate wise. Could that be the first sign of a mini GCR and the rest to unfold accordingly? Time will tell. Some are expectant of it...today, later this evening. Some... tomorrow ...a lot of scuttlebutt out there...bottom line is everybody is pushing somewhere in the vicinity of this week...we are looking pretty good folks. We're almost there.

All the articles are referencing things in the past tense when it comes to liberation of Mosul, fighting, ISIS. Ramadan is supposed to end on the 25th of June followed by EID (holiday).
