ISIS Is Said to Destroy Historic Al Nuri Mosque in Mosul
BAGHDAD — The Islamic State on Wednesday night destroyed Mosul’s centuries-old Al Nuri Grand Mosque and its distinctive leaning minaret, one of Iraq’s most famous landmarks, according to the Iraqi and American militaries.
Shortly after the military’s report, the terrorist group used its news agency to claim that the mosque had actually been destroyed by an American airstrike.
Col. Ryan Dillon, an American military spokesman in Baghdad, said that the coalition had confirmed, through drone surveillance footage, that the mosque had been destroyed. “We don’t know how,” said Colonel Dillon, who added that the coalition was investigating.
But shortly afterward, the United States Central Command issued a statement bluntly accusing the Islamic State of destroying the mosque.

The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has welcomed a generous contribution from the German government of 28 million euros to support food aid to 275,000 displaced Iraqis in four provinces across the country.
"Germany greatly appreciates the efforts of the World Food Program (WFP) to meet the needs of the poorest people in Iraq who are in desperate need of life-saving assistance," said Franz Krimp, the German ambassador to Iraq.
"This contribution will help WFP fight hunger in places where food is available in markets but people who are affected by the conflict can not afford to buy it," he added.
With this contribution WFP will be able to continue to use the digital cash card system to provide food and cash assistance.
The digital system - known as scoop cards - allows the program to expand its assistance so that beneficiaries can choose and purchase food from local stores throughout the country.
Every month families receive a text message on their mobile phones informing them that their cards have been shipped for about 15 euros per family member. About 74,000 women and more than 128,000 children under the age of five benefit from this assistance.
"We thank the German government for this generous contribution on behalf of the Iraqi people, which was greatly affected by the conflict," said Sally Heidock, WFP Regional Director for Iraq.

The Big Call w/ Bruce Intel Notes by PinkRoses 6-20-17
Bruce: Welcome everyone to the call. Welcome all the Big Call listeners throughout the world tonight. Let’s go back and talk about Iraq. We told you a lot last Thursday what was going on there. Yesterday there were a series, 3 sets of announcements that were made yesterday morning and late the night before. Our Sunday night into Monday morning, and a couple more announcements that will be made tomorrow morning immediately after morning prayer close to midnight EST tonight in that range, 12:00am to 12:30am EST tonight. Those announcements will be the final announcements that need to be heard about Iraq sovereignty, about the new rates that are going to be seen on their valued dinar, liberation of Mosul, and I think maybe the lower denominations that should be available in the ATM machines in Iraq. Those 4 to 5 concepts of announcements we are looking for to be made tomorrow late tonight early am.
Bruce: Until the whole thing is absolutely revealed to us we probably won’t see those announcements either depending on when we have what you are I are looking for. That is what we are looking for is our blessing. PM Abadi was in Saudi Arabia and he made an announcement there in Saudi Arabia and he is supposed to make one more announcement when he gets back to Iraq.
Bruce: We do have the Summer Solstice on the 21st of June, a great time for more light. Because it is the first day of the fiscal new year for China it represents a lot to them, I think it is going to be a very important day for us. It means a lot to the Chinese and looks like it will be important to us as well. We have that timing. In preparation for that, we had some confirmation that the USNs this afternoon were communicated from the Treasury that we would have the USN going live in the morning. That is important to us because having a gold back currency. The USN, active and live and a true asset back currency for the first time in 100 years. By having that it gives our currency value to the pint our exchanges will be backed by the gold back currency. That is true around the world. The assets are backing the currencies around the world. Iraq has oil, gold, diamonds and other precious gems. Same thing with Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has huge riches under the ground. That is so true in a lot of areas around the world.
Bruce: We have that backing our currency. A very positive thing to happen. The timing is the banks involved in the redemption process have been notified to be ready tomorrow. That is important. We know that the ZIM continues to trade and go up in value every day. It goes a little bit higher and higher. It makes it when you are interested in a higher rate for the ZIM, you can get a much higher rate than what the screen is showing.
Bruce: We do believe that Iraq is pumping oil and which Russia has it, China has it. This is one reason the value of the Iraqi dinar should be higher than we thought. Privately negotiated rates for the Dinar and the Dong will be available to us as the Internet Group for the Dinar, ZIM, and Dong.
Bruce: I know that last night we had mega tranche a very large tranche, two very large funds that paid out, one was last night, Sunday night, and one was Monday night. We had two separate large tranches put in place. One for humanitarian projects, and the other one for Tier 4 exchanges. That is for us. Tier 3 has been all completed, lined up Pay masters all accounts funded. The people remaining in Tier 3 should have their funds intermediately, ready to be fully funded.
Bruce: Last night around midnight EST when that last large tranche was sent over that marked the start of our roll out for us for what we are looking for, and also allowed for unlimited amount of bank wires to be sent. Bank wires of any amount could be sent under the new CIPS system. That is new. They called it the new Swift system but it is really is the new Chinese system that has been integrated into the Swift system. That took place last night. We are excited about that.
Bruce: We think everything is lined up for us, ready to go. We are looking forward in getting the toll free number at any time. We think it will be a day time event. We will see how that looks like. When I receive the toll free number that will be put out not only on our web site, thebigcall.net, and also a couple of other locations online if that is the directive to do. I will make sure to do what is in the instructions I get. I don’t have the 800 numbers in the making of this call tonight. Some think I have it already, but I do not. I hope to get it in short order. Then you can set your appointments and go.
Bruce: Redemption Centers are ready to go. It is more of a military operation than it was. Forces are in location and for oversight. The exchange maybe more like a process, moving from one station to another station to get through the process in a quick manner. The intention is to get our exchanges done and set our appointments with wealth managers a week later to get back into the wealth advisor offices, Abbot Downing so on, to follow up, working your structures, trusts, etc, whatever you need to do. We will follow that and see what happens with that.
Bruce: From what I am hearing the John Q Public would start some time after the first of July. It could be the 3rd or 5th, who knows. It is still up in the air when that start would take place. It is all planned and I think we are on a timer still and the timer is ready to go off I think.
It is looking very strong for us. You made it all the way.
Bruce: I know we had a lot of things happen up and downs in this process. One thing we learned is patience. It means we can feel good about the fact we been steadfast in being patient for the end of the ride to arrive.
Bruce: Thank all for tuning in to the Big Call. Check the website,thebigcall.net, for the 800 numbers. Thank all for listening. Thank you Sue, Bob, Pastor Steven, Kent, and all that are part of the Big Call team. Thank you for your faithfulness and all you out there for listening. We couldn’t do a call without you. Thank you for your faithfulness to the call. Goodnight everybody.
"Seated" - GCR/RV Intel SITREP - Wednesday - June 21, 2017
Intercontinental wire testing completed as of midnight Wednesday.
New country codes were given out Monday, right before the RV to protect the RV.
Each bank had to then test wire transfer to each country with said updated codes.
No problems from HSBC banks were reported, and they are in 70 countries.
The ZIM is rising very fast now. The other currencies are rising too, but not nearly as fast percentage wise.
This is because the ZIM has much further to climb to reach its final Tier 1 holding value and there's new ZIM bond note credits coming on line to re-sell everyday.
So the more product on the market equals more trading, and every central bank is competing for the same pool of limited new ZIM digital credits daily.
Basically, it's a currency feeding fest and governments can't buy the ZIM bond note credits fast enough due to simple supply and demand.
That's not going to change post-RV, as the rate will continue to climb higher--we understand ultimately into triple digits.
Yikes!
Again, the ZIM is staggeringly valuable in relationship to the old financial system, not Zimbabwe's above-ground and in-ground natural assets.
The ZIM's new rate will be completely balanced in relationship to how the new financial system values all sovereign currencies against a common benchmark or spot gold price as determined by the new Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE).
So your ZIM's incredibly high central bank holding value is just how far the old financial system's value measurement was out of whack with reality--in fact, the ZIM had no value at all as recently as April 2009.
Incredible the lies the Anglo-Saxon race has perpetrated against the African continent and it's people. Inhuman is a better word. Psychopathic is another.
With last night's Republic Congressional elections in South Carolina and Georgia now complete, House Republicans gained back all four seats they lost to Trump's selection of sitting Republican Congressmen for his new cabinet.
There are again 241 Republicans and 194 Democrats with 435 total members to complete the House, which technically fully seats our Congress (the Senate has 100 out 100 already seated).
This is important for GESARA compliance purposes.
Same thing happened in the U.K. two weeks ago, and France last week as of this past Sunday.
This means all UNSC permanent members are now considered complete with their Presidential/Parliamentary/
Trump technically completes the Republic's GESARA requirements, but it's obvious we're still waiting on Trump/Pence to be removed and replaced by Ryan/Sasse per Constitutional laws of power succession.
Or are we? Nobody really knows what Obama is going to do.
We do know everyone in the Trump White House has taken outside legal counsel to negotiate their own amnesty deals with special prosecutor Robert Muller.
Meaning, everyone is abandoning Trump and turning state's evidence to save their own hides.
That ugly fact includes President Trump and Vice President Pence. Yup, the "Trumptanic" is sinking rapidly and both the captain and his wing man have jumped into a lifeboat and gone overboard.
Even the top lawyer in the land, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, had to retain outside legal counsel yesterday to finish off his own amnesty deal.
Never a good sign if you're a Trump supporter when everyone lawyers up and seven major legislative bills (or ominous package) are just waiting to be voted on and passed like lightning through the Congress for Presidential signature into law.
But that won't be Trump or Pence signing those bills.
So who's next in line?
Yup, Speaker Ryan... the guy who helped write all the bills years earlier--just as the Chinese planned it when they made him Speaker of the House in October 2015.
I wasn't making this stuff up guys. I knew he was President back then. I just didn't know how or when. Now we know.
To everyone out there who is in a tough spot financially or medically right now, know that I feel your discomfort in all directions.
It's heavy, it's real and it feels insurmountable.
Wish I had the hard release time and 800#s for you tonight, but I don't. At least not yet.
Trust that I'm working on it 24/7. Know the whole world is waiting just like you(us).
We are One.
I do promise to stay vigilant as I know the RV is the only option for humanity to move forward as a species, so it's a question of "when" not "if" for the survival (and ascension) of humanity.
The good news is I have personally known for three long years that we hold the most dynamic yet unknown financial cure all in human history--the ZIM.
That too is heavy and real as you now know. So in a way we're carrying each other's burdens.
I pray our time to redeem is soon, and we get to celebrate our shared blessing finally. Eventually I'm told, all blessings and burdens equal out. Sobeit.
God is with us.

[post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
6-20-2017 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [Guru Kaperoni joins the debate] [...does it really matter to you that the dinar is a "hard currency" or when it becomes one? It does not have to be for the value to go up on the IQD now does it...?] Technically no...it does not need to be a hard currency..but it goes to the premise and the concept of why we are all holding dinar. [stay tuned for more of this spirited debate]
6-20-2017 Newshound Guru Phillyman Article: "Deposit Insurance" Quotes: "Deposit Insurance Act represents a solution to the problem of the most successful liquidity shortage experienced by the national economy, restore confidence between the banks and the public beneficiaries, and pays owners of capital to deposit their money in banks because of legal guarantees for this." "Deposit Insurance Act must see the light because it is the most important one of the real keys to sustainable development." ...seems like a broken record doesn't it. Everyone knows what should be done but it doesn't happen. Hope change is coming.

Everyone knows what should be done but it doesn't happen. Hope change is coming.
6-20-2017 Newshound Guru mike For me, the NFA is a measuring stick for assets abroad, the reserves are used to back liabilities on the issued currency. I too agree the dinar will be a world recognized currency, but not a hard currency. That's my problem with folks like Saleh, they stretch the truth and stray from the facts. Does he do it all the time? No. But he does it often enough to damage credibility and require fact checking his statements. ...I'm ready for these guys to get to work. No matter how we slice it, the reserves are dwindling and if they don't address the economy soon, there's going to be even bigger problems. [reference Enorrste post 6-20-2017....will the debate continue?]
6-20-2017 Newshound Guru Phillyman Article: "Kirkuk’s Oil to play big role in Kurdish Independence" There are alot of articles coming out regularly about this. Saying the region is complicated is an understatement. Abadi is even now on his tour having just left Saudi Arabia and now landing in Iran, 2 countries that despise each other. Does it impact what we are looking for? There will always be conflict over there so my humble opinion is that monetary reform moves forward despite the conflicts regionally.
6-20-2017 Newshound Guru Enorrste [The debate continues....] Each of us is looking at a different set of numbers. In any case, I would personally take Keywords at his word, regardless of the numbers. Saleh's statement is sort of like Trump's "I hope" statement. "Like a hard curency" is not the same as "world reserve currency" in my view. I believe that, unless Planet X wipes us out in the next year or so, the dinar will become a world recognized currency. When is another question entirely. I started this over 10 years ago and am still waiting for it to just start, let alone finish. [reference Guru mike's post 6-20-2017 below....]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH Buddy!
6-20-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru tman23 ...The IQD reality could be between 285 fils to 299 fils to the USD...which would be 2.85 - 2.99...with a margin of +/- 3.5%...
6-20-2017 Newshound Guru mike So...roughly 60 trillion dinars in M0...also ...officials in the GOI that illustrate the CBI reserves are between $40-$49 billion dollars. The results show that Iraq does not have 100% coverage of their outstanding M0 money supply. Why does Keywords state it's covered? Who knows, it's clear though that it's not. He's under a tremendous amount of pressure from the GOI for the dwindling reserves, people under pressure do weird things. ...what are your thoughts, is the dinar, or will it be in the next 20 years, considered a "hard currency?"

Statement: Iraqi army besieged fighters in the old city of Mosul
NINEWA, Iraq, June 20 (Reuters) - The Iraqi army said it was besieging the old city, the stronghold of a pro-Saddam organization in Mosul on Tuesday, after taking control of an area north of it.
The 9th Armored Division took control of the Shifa district, which houses the city's main hospitals on the west bank of the Tigris River, the army said in a statement.
The fall of the Shifa neighborhood means that US-backed government forces have encircled the old city in the western half of Mosul from the north, west, south and east across the river.
The battle for control of the Old City has become the fiercest battle in the eight-month-old offensive to restore Mosul, the real capital of the hard-line organization in Iraq and the largest city controlled by the country.
Aid organizations are concerned about the blockade of 100,000 civilians, half of them children in dilapidated homes in the Old City amid a decline in food, water, medicine and electricity supplies.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Monday that sick and wounded civilians fleeing through Islamic state lines were dying "in large numbers".
The militants move surreptitiously from one house to another through holes in the walls and face advanced forces with snipers and booby traps.
They also covered many streets with cloth to avoid aerial surveillance, making it difficult for advanced forces to hit them without risking civilian casualties.
The Iraqi army estimates the number of militants in the militant group is no more than 300, down from some 6,000 fighters in the city when the Mosul campaign began on October 17. Finished
