Word on the Street Tuesday 6/27/17:
TNT CONFERENCE CALL MONDAY
6/26/17 DC NY CALL RECAP: Good afternoon TNT Superfantastic Family.
Today is Marvelous Monday. No new intel, so we will do some training. This call
is for TNT members. From the weekend review that will give us an idea where we
are looking to be by today knowing we are not there. We had reports come to us
on Saturday that there was parades in the street and were going all through the
weekend and celebrating victory, end of Ramadan and EID holiday commencing. I
guess you can call it a triple celebration. We were told that the EID was to
commence on the 25th of June at close of Ramadan. Supposedly massive firework
displays in Baghdad and getting confirmations on that. I do believe it took
place. On Iraq TV were reporting that US govt officials and some others have
been contacting Iraq govt and congratulating them on the success of defeating
ISIS. Even though we have not heard the official word and also on the official
liberation of Mosul and the rest of Iraq. CBI site the new one is undergoing
some changes and some of you have been accessing it while it was up and down
reflecting some different rates. A lot of you got excited over that which I
think it was ok to get excited. Some of your conclusion were premature, but it
just didn't materialize when you thought it would materialize. If nothing else
one of the best things that went across their TV screens is broadcasting the
coming days will mark a significant impact to purchasing power for all citizens
of Iraq. That was a message to them, and we know what that means. Only know of 2
ways you can have a significant impact to your purchasing power from your
dollar. If you do a major major drop on all goods and services, that is going to
have an impact on your purchasing power, or it whatever you are using to make
those purchases is revalued and has a higher rate, that to would impact the
purchasing power. So that remains to be seen, and we know which one it will be.
Since there is no talk of prices drastically dropping just for the sake of
making things more affordable or more plentiful in your purchase activity. There
has been plenty talk of the value of the currency increasing here and abroad.
That is pretty mcuh it of reviewing the intel over the weekend. I don't have
anything real exciting to share with you today intel wise, but timing wise I
believe that would be the exact opposite. Before we go into that lets hear what
the questions were. Q and A: Q: What have you heard about
things over the weekend? Are we still looking good for this week or is it going
to roll into next month? Ray: Well I just shared with you what I heard over the
weekend. Yes we are still looking good for this week, and I doubt it will roll
into next month. It is still obvious that things are being directed over a
certain time constraint and don't know what that is. Q: Do you know if taxes
will be taken out for the exchange just for the IQD or for all of them? Ray: No
I do not know of any taxes being taken out on an exchange and never heard of
them being taken out on an exchange. There would have to be major restructuriing
of law to say we are going to take out taxes now. I don't think that will happen
during the exchange. Q: The task force idea you have is fantastic. Do these task
force members include bank representatives and or employees? Ray No the actual
members are not bank representatives. They are TNT members. Q: Is there any
advantage of taking a structured payout at exchange time. Ray: I dont know of
any structured payout on a regular exchange. Q: They said a couple of years ago
that they overprinted the dinar. Ray: I don't recall that info. Q: Per giving a
gift is there documentation we need. Ray: Some are giving a stock gifting
letter, and I don't know of any special documentation letter you need. You can
give before you pay taxes there is no limit of gifting to charitable
organizations and can only write off up to 50% of your gross adjusted income
each year. You can give any amount. Callers: 865: Over the
weekend PM Abadi did post on his website a text of congratulations. Was curious
how your sources over in Iraq responded. Have they given you any insight as to
how the Iraqi people are seeing that, because for the last couple of weeks we
have been on kind of an alert for some sort of announcement, and was wondering
if that was being perceived that way in Iraq? Ray: Nothing has come from the
weekend activities yet. It is all quiet. Catnip: Including any feedback of any
message from the people at the mosque Ray: Only message I know that has gone out
this morning is on the TV. Mosul will be liberated in the coming days. That is
it so far. Catnip: Are 800 numbers in the planning stage that we should be
getting. Ray: I am of that assumption but have not heard anything official or
unofficial on that in the last week of so. Ray's Training: Faith empowers Fear
disables. Replay of call and training: http://events.iteleseminar.

Parliamentary: National reconciliation procedures are mere slogans
http://translate.google.com/
MP for the Reform Parliamentary Bloc
Adel Khamis Mahlawi, Monday, that the national reconciliation procedures in Iraq
are mere slogans to raise the absence of political will.
"After 14 years of regime change
in 2003, we hear national slogans and reconciliation projects calling for
tolerance in the successive governments that have passed through Iraq, adopted
by various political blocs, most recently the historic settlement," Mahallawi
said in a statement. the fact indicates that its actions completely different.
"
He added that "the accountability
and justice procedures adopted against hundreds of employees in the various
ministries of the State during the past three months, including the Ministries
of Science, Technology and Foreign Affairs, working according to the double
responsibility and direct conviction, which led to the increased severity of
dealing with the right of state employees and significantly in recent times, "It
is not fair that an employee who has served the country for 14 years and with
high efficiency and professionalism is dispensing with his services. Some of
them have fought terrorism and wounded and others have been martyred in the
ongoing liberation operations against the criminal organization, especially
those working in the armed forces, Y have proved their courage and
patriotism of the country and the direct testimony of their officials. "
He explained that "the most
important purpose of raising the slogan of national reconciliation in order to
inspire domestic and international opinion that the government adopts it and win
their support for them, even if serious, it must take a position of
accountability and justice measures against the employees of the last state,
especially those who served the country in government agencies for many
years. Finished

Daily Telegraph": 300 Britons including children and women stranded in Raqqa and Mosul
The Daily
Telegraph newspaper quoted intelligence sources as saying that about 300 British
citizens, including children and women, were trapped inside the Da'ash area in
Raqqa and Mosul.
"It is expected
that those foreign fighters still in Mosul and Raqqa will soon be liquidated by
local forces," the newspaper quoted Robert Jones, deputy commander of the
international coalition forces, as saying.
The coalition
encourages local forces to besiege Mosul and Raqqa to prevent hundreds of
foreign militants from escaping to Europe after the collapse of a "shaky"
state.
Jones has
tightened the noose around al-Raqqa, while Iraqi forces are trying to find their
way into the labyrinth of streets to purge the old city of Mosul of
insurgents.
He said that in
the past there was a large influx of foreign fighters to Iraq and Syria, but
today the flow has turned into a sluggish path, adding that the return route has
become very dangerous for these foreign fighters, describing the border as
"solid".
Kurdistan confiscated a large amount of Iranian fuel is poor
The head of the industry and
energy committee in the Sulaymaniyah provincial council Ghaleb Mohammad said on
Monday that the authorities of the Pervez Khan border crossing with Iran had
confiscated a large amount of bad fuel coming from Iran.
Ghaleb Mohammed said in a press
statement seen by Shafak News that the 50 tanks loaded with fuel were stopped
and contain benzene of poor specifications unacceptable.
He added that the tanks stopped by
the company Qaiwan, which sought to supply to the region from the Iranian side,
pointing to the crossing official pledged to return the amount of bad gasoline
to Iran.
He pointed out that there are
attempts to change the instructions issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources
in order to facilitate the supply of benzene from a poor number of border
crossings to the region.
In the past, the crossing authorities
have returned more than 100 tankers of benzene to the country of origin in
Iran.
The former president of the CIA: the right of the Kurds to have an independent state
Stressed that the process should
be conducted in a peaceful manner
"It is true that the Kurds have
the right to be independent, but the independence is not easy now," said former
CIA chief and former commander of Iraq and Afghanistan David Petraeus.
"The Kurdistan Regional Government
has decided to hold an independence referendum, but it is difficult to declare
independence," Petraeus said in an interview with Australian Strategic Policy
Institute.
Petraeus added that "during his
presidency of the CIA, he conducted an assessment and reached the vision that in
order for the Kurdistan Regional Government to declare a coherent state, it is
necessary to export 800 thousand barrels of oil abroad every day, the price of a
barrel at least 105 dollars" .
Pointing out that "the Kurdistan
Regional Government in the days of free crises produce 800 thousand barrels of
oil per day, and exports a portion of this production at $ 40 to $ 50 per
barrel, so Kurdistan, still needs some of what gets from Baghdad."
Petraeus also believed that the
process of independence should be conducted in a peaceful manner. "This has to be
friendly relations with Iraq and a good agreement with Turkey," he said.
"The Kurds
will probably remain a part of Iraq for a longer period" because of the
financial situation and political conflicts facing the region.

[How excited are you today from
yesterday?]
MORE.
[Why more sir?]
BECAUSE THEY ARE RVING IMO.
[When they change their rate, do you think there will
be a delay with u.s. banks finding out about the rate change?]
OH NO!!! THEY R READY.
[IYO, Do you...believe that the new CBI website will
realistically be fully ready by June 30, for the new International financial
world?]
WE DO NOT KNOW...JUST EXCITED THAT THEY R CHANGING
IT.
[IYO is the CBI web site now being hosted within
Iraq?]
...YES.
[so much has taken place since the 12th of June, so
many articles talking about internationlism with the IQD, IYO, is the 26th-30th
still promising?]
...WE STUDY 26/30 RT NOW BECAUSE IT IS LOGICAL...SUFFICE
IT TO SAY...THINGS ARE UNUSUAL AND EXCITING ON THE MR [Monetary
Reform].
Frank26 The UN – they
might give Iraq CHAPTER VII. The UN told Iraq to pay attention to the IMF. The
escrow money will gladly be released once they comply. The Iraq Stock Exchange
is closed for an entire week … in the middle of the year. Strange. CBI changed
their website…The CBI website has new data. No more “buy and sell” – just one
rate. There is also a CURRENCY CONVERTER on the website…This is the monetary
reform in action. It is still at a program rate … as they are not completely
done with the website. Things are happening at a faster pace now…As of now … IMO
… you are going to see a LOT of international talk…IMO … they are NOT changing
the website for the program rate!!!
…About a year ago, [Guru] Delta and I told you that when
we would see a CHANGE in their exchange rate … we would see the CBI website
change…The website needs NEW CONTENT … and this is why [Guru] Delta watches the
CBI website 24/7. This “new” CBI website would NOT be hosted in Houston either.
TA-DA! This website … by the way … is “international” style class … modern …
updated. Before they change the rate … they had to change the website…We’re just
waiting for them to lift the value of their currency – and I pray that is what
they are doing. There is nothing left to do! They just need to show us the new
rate so they can stop pretending that they have an international rate/status. We
are still on course! CBI server … is no longer in Houston … it’s in Iraq. They
are TOTALLY international. No more CBI trustees to answer too.
Currency365...Let’s
see how the week plays out. We’re going to watch it all together and it should
be fun. It’s either gong to be very exciting or very disappointing this
week….Friday the 30th is the escrow [U.N.deadline] and I hope Abadi has planted
the flag or announced to the world that Iraq is fully liberated and they’ve also
removed the MCP [Multiple Currency Practices] and lifted their value. I’m hoping
this is the stuff we hear this week but it doesn’t mean we’re going to hear it.
And if I’m the United Nations and I don’t hear this stuff this week I write up
something and extend the escrow money for another 30 days. Until they do what
they’re actually supposed to do...
…Hopefully by Wednesday Abadi goes to Mosul and plants
the flag giving the United Nations a two day head start to release those funds.
Hopefully Wednesday or Thursday Abadi planting the flag in Mosul or make the
announcement….should be a historic week…tomorrow will begin to heat up
tremendously I believe and into Wednesday and Thursday and the escrow accounts
on Friday and into the weekend it could be another historic week.

Well finally this silence was highly let's say suggest

Worldwide 209 Countries Event.
Finally the world's people will be receiving there
reliefs that since November of 1963 was signed off to be released for all
humanity in whole. Yes it is time my dear friends, please Let It Flow for JEHOVÁ
is before us and nothing evil will stop this event from happening anytime
soon.
Many have called for dates and rates and those that know
me know that I do not share any secure information.
Just know that all has been achieved and is now ready to
fulfill the dreams of so many people who have waited for so long, for the
ability to rollover to phase two of this blessing for the manifestation of the
Kingdom of God.
The Celestial Agreements have been fufilled and all
religious sec. are now on board for this worldwide distribution of wealth. Note
that it will not take any longer for justice and relief to hit every home in our
planet and for that please repeat after me by just saying "THANK YOU LORD,

Extremely Very Very important!!!!
I have been informed The following.....A paymaster was
told by his attorney that when you go into exchange or through an 800 number and
asked how many currencies do you have?
Tell them how many currencies you have but do not
include the ZIM as a currency:
Mention you have XYZ currencies and you have ZIM
BONDS!!!
So in summary do not Associate the Zim as a currency
because it is not!....the calculation difference could be huge
financially
***Also take note if we do go to exchange centers, it
will be very prudent to check IDs of the establishment don't get too excited and
lose your focus .. I personally am going in with the attitude that I'm the buyer
of a relationship not the seller of currencies!

Extremely Very Very important!!!!
I have been informed The following.....A paymaster was
told by his attorney that when you go into exchange or through an 800 number and
asked how many currencies do you have?
Tell them how many currencies you have but do not
include the ZIM as a currency:
Mention you have XYZ currencies and you have ZIM
BONDS!!!
So in summary do not Associate the Zim as a currency
because it is not!....the calculation difference could be huge
financially
***Also take note if we do go to exchange centers, it
will be very prudent to check IDs of the establishment don't get too excited and
lose your focus .. I personally am going in with the attitude that I'm the buyer
of a relationship not the seller of currencies!

…About a year ago, [Guru] Delta and I told
you that when we would see a CHANGE in their exchange rate … we would see the
CBI website change…The website needs NEW CONTENT … and this is why
[Guru] Delta watches the CBI website 24/7. This “new” CBI website would
NOT be hosted in Houston either. TA-DA! This website … by the way …
is “international” style class … modern … updated. Before they change the
rate … they had to change the website…We’re just waiting for them to
lift the value of their currency – and I pray that is what they are doing.
There is nothing left to do! They just need to show us the new rate so
they can stop pretending that they have an international
rate/status. We are still on course! CBI server … is no
longer in Houston … it’s in Iraq. They are TOTALLY international. No
more CBI trustees to answer too.

The UN – they might give Iraq CHAPTER VII. The UN told Iraq to pay
attention to the IMF. The escrow money will gladly be released once they
comply. The Iraq Stock Exchange is closed for an entire week …
in the middle of the year. Strange. CBI changed their website…The
CBI website has new data. No more “buy and sell” – just one rate.
There is also a CURRENCY CONVERTER on the website…This is the monetary reform in
action. It is still at a program rate … as they are not
completely done with the website. Things are happening at a faster pace
now…As of now … IMO … you are going to see a LOT of international
talk…IMO … they are NOT changing the website for the program
rate!!! [Post 1 of 2]

The amazing part is that one of them is very recent. I mean VERY recent! In fact it is from today June 26th, 2016. Yes – you read me correctly. I said today!…The BIG question now is – Will they actually do it this time or postpone it again? Time will tell but I don’t think we will have to wait much longer to find out. I am very excited! How about you? Article [Deletion of zeros project will be implemented in early 2017] Note the date. This is taken from Iraqi news channels today June 26th 2017. Get what they are doing? They are moving ahead now with the project since ISIS defeat is just about completed. So now we wait for the re-education process the CBI told us would happen again. This will be our sign we are VERY close to the event.

tman23 [what are your thoughts on Iraq changing
currency, a redomionation so to speak?]........ The way they have described
the process is "redenomination"...... They just have played a cat and
mouse game in not being perfectly clear on the subject...... So we are left with
exactly how will they trear the notes with 3 zeros and for how
long........I believe Iraq won't do anything until 2018 - They
can't even Liberate Mosul in 6 months & Then they Have a Lot of Mopping Up
To Do !… To think that a 25,000 currency note that was worth $21.50
at one time will overnight turn into a worth of $25,000 usd or $75,000 usd is
ludicrous.......BUT after much research and following.....there is the
possibility that it could do just that.... So at the risk of losing
30-40 percent of what we invested ..... WHY NOT !!! Think of it this
way......what is a safer play today....... Buy Iraq Dinar or take an annuity
from Illinois State Lottery. [ so do you believe the Dinar has the
potential to be on par with the USD?] absolutely.....100%

6-26-2017 Intel Guru RayRen98 …CBI site going through changes. Up and down, up and down reflecting different rates. One of the best things coming across that TV screen was the broadcast, “significant impact to the purchasing power for all citizens of Iraq.” I only know of two ways to have significant impact – do a major drop on all goods and services or whatever you are using to make those purchases is revalued at a higher rate. . . .There has been plenty of talk of the currency increasing. Mosul is a done deal, still have to wait for announcement. Citizens are being told on TV, “in the coming days.” It’s coming out. EID officially ends tomorrow. Some areas have extended it into Wednesday We might see some things pop between now and the 30th...those escrow accounts are to be terminated and Iraq receiving that money with the understanding they are Inter [International?] and the currency revalues.

6-26-2017 Newshound Guru Currency365 ...Let’s see how the week plays out. We’re going to watch it all together and it should be fun.

I’m hoping this is the stuff we hear this week but it doesn’t mean we’re going to hear it.

The smell of death and the mounds of buildings are the horrible new face of the old city of Mosul
Nineveh - June 26: As Iraqi forces advance to expel an insurgent
organization from its last stronghold in the old city of Mosul, which was home
to Iraq's most historic monuments, destroyed buildings, piles of rubble and the
bodies of the organization's fighters have become the horrific new faces of the
city's neighborhoods.
For
the third time in minutes, Lt. Col. Mohammed al-Tamim passes without looking at
the fossilized body of an al-Qaeda operative, half buried under a huge pile of
rubble that was the old facade of a building in the Farouk
neighborhood.
Because of their presence for several days in a temperature of over 40
degrees, the smell of mold from the swollen and half buried body is
unbearable.
The
bearded man, dressed in combat gear, was killed carrying his weapon in what
appeared to be the fate of some 200 fighters of an organization calling on those
trapped in an area of only one square kilometer of Iraq's second largest city,
which he controlled three years ago.
Al-Tamim says that "Al-Da'ash does not give up," while mortar shells,
bullets and rockets are rising in the Old City.
"They
will either be killed, or commit suicide by blowing themselves up as a last
resort."
The
streets of the old neighborhoods of Mosul are scattered with the remains of
motorbikes and motorbikes that were booby-trapped and exploded.
The organization's fighters have repeatedly tried to
slow down Iraqi forces' advance in suicide attacks.
The
height of the ruins of the roofs or facades of buildings damaged by violent
fighting in the narrow streets sometimes reach several
meters.
A
soldier who took part in the battles to restore Al-Faruq said that the air raids
were an important factor because of the difficulty of entering the armored
vehicles in the alleys.
"We
move forward and determine where the enemy is, and then we ask for air raids to
eliminate them, and then proceed cautiously," said the soldier, who asked not to
be identified.
"We
see many bodies. We are looking for
others "who are still alive.
The
destruction in the old city of western Mosul seems
terrible. Several buildings
were completely leveled, with power cables hanging
dangerously.
As for
those that still hold, the remnants of car bombs gather in their upper layers.
Al-Farouk, once a residential neighborhood, became a
group of destroyed buildings, its streets covered with rubble and mountains of
rubble.
Inside
the houses that have survived during the fighting, chaos
prevails. Housewares,
furniture, clothes and tents are everywhere, along with bicycles, some blankets
and toys. But no spirit in
place.
The
Iraqi Army stresses that it is taking all possible precautions to avoid harming
civilians during its attack on a sympathetic organization.
It is believed that tens of thousands of civilians, half
of them children, are still being held as human shields by the extremist
organization in the Old City.
"The
civilians are our priority, and we have provided them with assistance," the
commander of the anti-terrorism forces, Lieutenant-General Abdulwahab al-Saadi
said.
On
June 18, Iraqi forces began an incursion into the Old City, more than eight
months after the start of the country's biggest military operation in years to
restore Mosul.
Hundreds of civilians and hundreds of members of an armed group have been
killed since the operation began.
More
than 800,000 people have been forced to flee their homes, and many remain in
overcrowded camps.
Survivors of the battle in Mosul say that most of the families
have lost more or less, some of them killed by a sympathetic organization,
others during the
fighting.
Civilians displaced
from the battlefield indicate that entire families have resorted to cellars
occupied by the organization's fighters and were killed by the
shelling. Finished

The success of the experiment to use the magnet in controlling eye tremor
Editorial date: 2017/6/27 9:02 • 71 times read
(Baghdad:
Al-Furat News) Doctors succeeded in planting a magnet behind the eyes of a
patient to treat a condition that causes eyelashes or trembling
involuntarily.
One in 1,000 people suffers from what is known as nystagmus or "dancing eyes," a condition for which no medical treatment is available.
Doctors implanted two small magnets in each eye to help overcome jitter.
One in 1,000 people suffers from what is known as nystagmus or "dancing eyes," a condition for which no medical treatment is available.
Doctors implanted two small magnets in each eye to help overcome jitter.
Experts claim that this paves the
way for increased use of magnetism to control the movement of other parts of the
body.
The two magnets interact with each other to block involuntary eye movement and improve the patient's vision.
The study, led by the London College and Oxford Universities, is the first to successfully use magnetism to control eye movement.
"Nystagmus has multiple causes of multiple sources in the central nervous system, which poses a challenge to the development of pharmacotherapy, so we have chosen to focus on the eye muscles themselves," says Parashkev Nashev, a senior researcher at the Institute of Neurology at London College.
"But so far, mechanical approaches have been elusive because of the need to stop involuntary eye movements without preventing intentional physical movements."
In many cases the cause of nystagmus is not known
The patient, who underwent the operation with a woman in his late 40s, was infected with lymphoma.
This situation had a significant impact on his life, including the loss of his job. The difficulties of his life led the research team to seek solutions.
"Fortunately, the strength used for voluntary eye movements is greater than the force that makes eye tremors involuntary," said Quentin Banchurst, a professor at London College. "So we only need very small magnets, which reduces the risk of eye movement."
Two magnets were planted in each eye, one placed in the bone at the bottom of the quarry, and the other with one of the external eye muscles.
The magnet was implanted in two separate sessions at a hospital in London.
The patient quickly recovered and reported a significant improvement in his vision. In addition, after more than four years, no adverse effect was reported on functional eye movement. He has returned to paid work and practices daily activities such as reading and watching television more easily.
Researchers have stressed that further research is needed to find out which patients can benefit most from this treatment, warning that magnetization will not be appropriate for those with nystagmus, such as those who constantly need magnetic resonance imaging.
