The State of Qatar has been involved in the financing of terrorist activities for $ 64.2 billion from 2010 to 2015, according to sources close to the ruling regime in Doha.

The newspaper pointed out that Riyadh has documents to prove the involvement of Doha to support the violence and terrorism in the region. These documents reached Saudi Arabia during the reign of the late King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, including what he got during the past two years.

Qatar has allocated $ 7.6 billion to finance terrorist operations in 2010, and the figure rose to $ 10.4 billion in 2011, before jumping to $ 11.4 billion in 2012, according to the unnamed source.

In 2013, Qatar increased its financial support for terrorist operations to $ 12.2 billion, jumping to $ 12.6 billion in 2014 before shrinking to 9.9 in 2015.

The State of Qatar has consistently supported extremist groups and terrorists in more than one country in the region and beyond. The most prominent aspect of this support is financial support and political cover for these groups.

Several Western reports have suggested that Qatar is the largest country in the region to turn a blind eye to providing funding to extremist and terrorist groups, although its domestic laws criminalize such practices.

The support dates back to 2008 when Qatari Khalifa Mohammed Turki al-Subaie provided financial support to Pakistani Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a leader of al-Qaeda and the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the Telegraph newspaper reported.

The US Treasury Department accuses Qatar's Salim Hassan Khalifa Rashid al-Kuwari of transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars to al-Qaeda through a terrorist financing network.

According to US documents, al-Kuwari worked with another Qatari, Abdullah Ghanim al-Khawar, 33, to manage a funding network that supports terrorist groups and confirms Khawar's contribution to the release of al-Qaeda members in Iran.

Among the blacklisted names in the United States and the United Nations, Abdul Rahman bin Omair al-Nuaimi, accused of transferring $ 1.5 million a month to al-Qaeda in Iraq, and 375 thousand pounds to al Qaeda in Syria.

Among the names, Abdel Aziz bin Khalifa Al-Attiyah, a cousin of the former Qatari foreign minister, has already been convicted in a Lebanese court of financing international terrorist organizations and is linked to al Qaeda leaders.

Lebanese media reported that Al-Attiyah met in May 2012 with Omar al-Qatari and Shadi al-Mulawi, two al-Qaeda leaders, who gave them thousands of dollars.

The department is expanded to include residents in Qatar engaged in suspicious activities that the Qatari authorities turn over to fund terrorist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as groups in Asia, Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

The country's support for the Brotherhood was not limited to its territory, but included groups emanating from it in Turkey, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Lebanon and Libya.

Qatar's financial support to terrorist groups has extended to the "victory front" in both Syria and Lebanon, making the terrorist-classified group look like a "diagonal arm."

In Libya, Qatar has supported several terrorist figures, including the cleric Siddiq Qatar Ali al-Salabi, Abdul Hakim Belhadj, a former al-Qaeda operative, Abdel Basset Guelleh, well-known terrorist elements and businessmen.

Non-updated maps are still showing areas not liberated. There seems to be no movement. (What is still being kept from view? Hmmmmm?)
A CBI representative was interviewed today indicating that the next steps include the lower denoms to the street level. (How soon is soon?)
The Iraqi military announces full control of their borders. (Just in time for the celebrations, right?) #wearethepeople
A contributed story from a dedicated member...
Hi Ray,
"Capt ____" here. Seven years ago we were introduced to the currency revaluation by our daughter and son-in-law. My son-in-law's family has a close personal friend who is high up in Wells Fargo management. They were advised to get involved in this by him. Over the years, we have been given periodic updates by their friend. Last month, he basically confirmed everything that you had been telling us on the US Banking side of things. Yesterday (Sunday), I asked my son-in-law if he had heard anything from their banker friend. I mentioned your homework assignment and asked him if he could contact his friend and see if there was any new info that he could pass along. We heard back from the banker this morning. His text was short and sweet - "It's starting to heat up! I'll call you when I can." We haven't heard back from him yet, but I'll forward whatever information I'm allowed to.
Thank you so much for all your effort in behalf of the TNT community. WE all greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
"Capt_____"

Frank26 and Delta “What if the exchange rate were to drop to 1250?” What if it dropped down to 1200? This is about 2%. If they dropped down to 1190 or 1180 – the CBI wouldn’t be able to make money anymore. ...they have done a great job in getting within the 2% compliance. The CBI has done some impressive things. The IMF can’t stop being so proud of them. It looks like the CBI is adjusting accordingly to the 2% -- to the rate of the IQD internally – which is an IMF requirement. The IMF stated that their sole objective were a few things, and that is it. The IMF looks very, very happy. Everything is looking very good for investors. The biggest obstacle was corruption. We’ve been waiting so many years...but it was good that they waited until they got it right. ...that’s why they brought in Jack Lew – they learned from what happened in Kuwait. They needed border control, needed to manage the float. They are going to control this very well.
Delta [...you said that 2 commanding generals said that they were basically done, and they would be celebrating a victory pretty soon --- and perhaps the 10th – which is the anniversary of the caliphate declaration. Would this be a time that would be celebrated as an Iraqi victory and the defeat of Daesh?]
Exactly...it looks like this might be what they will do – turn it into a holiday. Old Mosul’s streets are very, very tight – you must go on foot, door-to-door. Let’s watch from the 2nd to the 9th (or 10th) and see what they are going to do.
Frank26 It seems to me that Abadi wants to declare a date. The last remaining Daesh fighters are very hard-core – they don’t want to give up. But, this “cancer” is being removed! The 10th … I’m not saying that is an RV date … but that could be a date of their DIGNITY! Their rebirth! This could be when they are going to plant their flag as a sovereign country – no longer under control of Iran and ISIS
The Big Call w/ Bruce Intel Notes by PinkRoses 6-6-17
Bruce: Welcome everyone to the Big Call. I believe we are moving forward one way or another. I know you are listening from far from all parts of the world. I appreciate the audience that comes in faithfully every Tuesday and Thursday. Soon there won’t be the need of putting out Intel, just good quality information as part of the Big Call University as far as learning something new. What is happening now that is different or new in terms of the Intel? Look for what is new what I am going to bring you. In some ways things are new but yet none of us are at the banks yet or are richer. However, everything is pointing to a trip to the Redemption Centers. Why am I saying that? Here is what is going on.
Bruce: Let’s talk about Iraq. Is there anything new in Iraq? Yes, there are a few things that are new. Remember we talked about the lower denoms of the dinar that were being placed in the ATM machines and ready to go? Our understanding is they are still in there ready to go, but have not been put out yet. They have not yet utilized those lower value notes of the dinar. They were supposed to be put out today. They were supposed to be, but weren’t. Their intention was to make their rate change known today and the lower denoms would be needed because the rates would have gone dramatically higher in the range both you and I know they will be. We have heard the rates in Iraq are in a very strong situation and will be stronger. People who are getting paid on their cards or retirement pay it is going up substantially like 134%. I think due to the in-country change of the dinar rate. Without able to prove that exactly, I just can tell you that everything is complete regarding what is happening in Iraq.
Bruce: Iraq has already announced that this Saturday, the 10th is the Liberation Day. What are they talking about liberating from? I think that is a direct liberation and take back of Mosul and a number of different announcements around that day next Saturday, June 10th. What about the 12th? Monday is called Celebration Day in Iraq. What would they be celebrating? The liberation of Mosul, the return of a Sovereign Republic, a return of a currency that is revalued and internationally traded again, and celebrate the new rate that would be in their budget that would be put in their Gazette, etc. That is what the schedule is going to show Saturday and celebration on Monday.
Bruce: Does that mean we have to wait until Monday? Us, who are the Internet group who are informed and waiting? Does it mean we have to wait who is part of this group for the weekend? Right now I going to say I don’t believe so based on the other Intel I am getting. Even if it was the case that would be the longest we would need to wait. We can all make it till the weekend. I think the plan is to release this soon.
Bruce: Let’s we go back to our country and see what has happened. On the east coast what happened yesterday at 10am EST there was a conference call involving Wells Fargo Bank, and all their branches, personnel, wealth managers, to private bankers, to staff members, etc, All heard about the 5 currencies, their names that would be in the 1st basket. They were told yesterday morning within 4 to 6 days. They were not given an exact date because they didn’t know the exact date. They were told to be prepared for this change, for these currencies to go up in value. That is the first time as far as I know that all in the bank were made aware of this. Wealth Managers have known for a long time, and those at the Redemption Centers, but this is talking about the branches. That is new information. That is the first time that has occurred.
Bruce: What about the other Tier 1 banks? Bank of America, Chase Bank, and Citi Bank? Also the other Tier 2 banks which there are107 banks? Have they had similar calls? We don’t know that. Only suspect at least the Tier 1 banks are up to speed. HSBC is up to speed now and all their personnel know since a lot of their personnel will be involved at Redemption Centers and also at Wells Fargo locations. That is new.
Bruce: What is going on with the ZIM? The ZIM is continuing to trade. It hit a certain level last night, Monday night, that put it where it was needed to be in terms of a number, in terms of a value or of a rate. I believe it is in a good place where now it is settled and not trading anymore. It is right there where they want it. It has been solidified right where it is and exactly where they needed it to be. A very strong rate. That is new. That is another thing that is new.
Bruce: What about what is going on out west? Out west what is new and different? We talked about Tier 2 and Tier 3. Tier 4 is part of the Internet group. Tier 2 and Tier 3 have been moving through nicely especially today. We had an audit that was taking place and was completed yesterday afternoon. The audit produced the results they were looking for in terms of personnel that didn’t qualify to be part of this that were there and were removed from the groups. Let’s call it that. That was a very exciting results and very positive results.
Bruce: All that were involved in the audit was completely successful. As a result of that we know that the groups and Tier 2 and Tier 3 have continued to be funded to the point where the accounts are being hydrated and the funds, as far as I know, are available. That is a very positive thing. My belief on that today it is ongoing. I am not getting too specific on anything else.
Bruce: Things are moving towards us more than ever. Things are moving in the right direction where we anticipate notification by the toll free number to come shortly. I know that all of us would have wanted this yesterday. In some ways it was intended for today, but it hasn’t happened yet. We are going to say let’s continue our intention that it is on its way and we will receive it at the proper time. I think everything is moving forward. It seems it is moving slowly from our perspective, but behind the scenes things that we can’t see, things are moving very quickly. Funds are moving towards major Humanitarian Funding sources to where those are being received. Major Tranches are taking place and will continue to take place this week and next week.
Bruce: We understand that everything is sort of staged and ready for release. We understand the expression all the moves have been checked is true. It is going to be a matter of exact specific time to be released? That we don’t know. We can’t know quite when that will be. We know we are right there ready to receive it.
Bruce: There are several things that happened the last couple of days especially today that are new. We have heard the expressions like “hang on”, “we are right there”, “wait a few days”. Maybe it will be a few days and will take until the weekend. I think things are moving through that we could have this before the weekend. I don’t know it. I am not going to lie to you and pretend, not going to exaggerate it. It is what it is and it is very good. I am excited and we heard it again it is our week several weeks in a row. We have been told that again even today. One of these days that is going to be true. It is going to be our week. I am hoping this time it will be true and it will be our week.
Bruce: What are you suppose to do in the meantime? You are supposed to maintain whatever it is you are doing in Plan A. If you have a job, you keep your job. Maybe you are thinking I am going to get out of here after this thing happens. Give your notice, do the right thing. If they let you go right away, okay. Give your notice, and be honorable and do the right thing to any employer you have and leave with a good exit. You are going to have to decide how you are going to exit from Plan A to Plan B. In the meantime stick with Plan A. Don’t change boats in mid stream. You have to stay with this until it is time. I wish we all have tried to do that. Years ago some people have had nothing going on the last number of months and years because they just knew it was right there. I know it. I thought it was right here too. I been doing this call, and I am in my 6th year now. 7 years doing calls, and 13 years being a part of this. It is a long time. It is a 4th of my life, close to it, not exactly.
Bruce: I think we are in a good position right now to take advantage of it. Right now things are very quiet. I like the idea of laying low. Don’t anybody put out what they think the 800 numbers are. I will be one of the first people to know because I am the one that will be getting the 800 number to give to you. It is a blessing and an honor for me. I just want everyone to lay low, watch the rumors, just stay positive, stay confident, and look forward to a new existence for yourself because it is going to be a new game.
Bruce: It is a prime time for us to expect this miracle in our lives. Expect this blessing. Everything I am reading is very positive for the timing to come through for us. Just do the right thing in your life. Stay with Plan A just a little bit longer and then get started to as soon as you can taking care of yourself in becoming healthy, becoming the best healthy, most fit person you can be.
Bruce: I want to thank everybody for coming in tonight in listening to the Big Call and being part of us all over the globe. Thank you everybody. Remember when we get into our Redemption Centers, you have the ability to privately negotiate your rates as part of the Internet Group. We do have that luxury and the honor to do that. Think of your projects you have. Remember we have plans for Rebuild America, and plans for the Veterans Retreat Network, a lot of plans to go not just in the United States but plans to do all over the world. There are going to be opportunities all over such as in Asia, Africa, Central America, Caribbean, the Islands, etc. We will stay together. We will let you know what you can do and how you can be part of it. We will be in touch with you. Stay tune to the Big Call website:thebigcall.net
Bruce: We will put out the 800 number probably for a limited time. Probably for 3 days we will only be allowed to keep it up there. We will put it out where we can. You will see it. It will be online. Just everybody be excited for the possibility of this happening hopefully between now and the weekend. We will see when it does go down. All have a goodnight sleep and thank you all for coming in and listening. All have a great night.
"Sharing a Bank Story" by SHABBY PINK - 6.7.17
I opened an account for my son today [06JUNE2017]. Then I inquired if they exchange foreign currencies.
The representative said "YES, WE DO... what kind of currencies do you have?" I replied, "I have IQDs and ZIMs." she asked, "ZIM?" " Oh, we do not deal with IQDs and what's that? ZIM?"
As we are finishing, the bank representative said,
"HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE OF THE IQD's"
"HOW MUCH IS THE EXCHANGE FOR THE ZIM?"
"HOW DID YOU KNOW ONLY HSBC IS EXCHANGING ZIM?"
Then she went on and on about their bank is one of the 4 largest and I should transfer from my MILITARY bank to her bank. As we were finished the bank representative said, "FROM HERE ON, I WILL BE YOUR "PERSONAL BANKER. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO FALL IN LINE. JUST ASK FOR ME."
I replied, " OH, LIKE A WEALTH MANAGER?"
The bank representative said, "THAT"S WHERE I AM GOING TO BE."
Funny how it started their bank does not deal with IQDs and ZIMs and yet at the end she said she is my "personal banker."
I thought I'd share....

I can't find an example in the history of the IMF/WB that they've taken over the sovereign financial obligations of a country, let alone for such a small amount.   Article quotes:  "Iraq has signed with the International Monetary Fund memorandum of understanding conducive to monitor the financial and economic policy" and this: "The program aims to assist Iraq in reforms in the foreign exchange policy"  The SBA and SMP are monitoring programs, they advise, assist and monitor Iraq's financial progress with the banks, budgets and currency programs.  [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

At some point they will do something with this currency. When that happens - you are positioned to enjoy the benefit...and that is probably the most encouraging you have heard me in a while.

NINEWA, Iraq, June 6 (Reuters) - An Iraqi human rights watchdog warned of the death of an interrogator of 90,000 displaced people from areas west of Mosul, near the border with Syria, who are already suffering from hunger.
The Iraqi Observatory for Human Rights said that "approximately 90 thousand displaced people in Umm al-Jarabeeh camp in Tal Abata district (73 km from Mosul) are lying in the ground without tents, aid or even food. They are dying of hunger and thirst. And an old woman. "
"The place where 90,000 displaced people are located is called a camp, but in fact it is only a place with a fence of wires, with only 200 tents or less, and the families there do not have anything to eat or drink," said a member of the monitoring network, .
The Observatory called in a report Tuesday, the federal and local governments in the province of Nineveh to expedite finding solutions and provide assistance to the displaced in the camp of Umm al-Jarabi, because the situation there can not tolerate delays or complacency, and displaced without tents or food.
"There is nothing in the camp," a displaced person told the monitoring network at Umm al-Jarabiya refugee camp, who was in his car with his family. The problem is that we have brought with us our cattle, some of which have died. We did not receive any assistance, but we received water tanks that were contaminated with kerosene. We put our mattress on cars, to protect ourselves from the sun.
