TNT CONFERENCE CALL MONDAY 7/24/17 DC NY CALL RECAP:
Good afternoon TNT Superfantastic Family. Today is Marvelous Monday. We had some updated info come in on Friday and more info on Saturday. Governor of CBI saying victory of economic reform is in the next few days. IMF and World bank are in Iraq. Citizens didn't get good confirmations of lower denoms being released. Looking for the passing of the budget but parliament was supposed to meet Saturday. Lower denoms and new rates should appear in a few days. It appears the supplementary budget passed and will be printed in the budget. Iraq meeting with the world bank about a loan. We are looking at this between now and August 1st. Eveyone is locked in on those dates. As far as the CBI, they submitted all paperwork to the World Bank. Don't know what the next move is. Waiting for WB and IMF to sign off on it, and others saying it is a process. That remains to be seen. Most of us looking for this to unfold before August 1st. Q and A: Q I have 2 sisters and I have currency and thought we could do one exchange. Would that trigger gift tax penalties? Ray: If you all own a section of it but doing the exchange you probably get buy on a gift tax. If it is tax as income all 3 of you should pay. All 3 of you could do exchanges. Q: I heard passing of the supplemental budget. Ray: We are still waiting on implementation. Q: Do think all currencies will RV at the same time? Ray: Yes. Q: Do you this week will be RV week? Ray: This week looks pretty good if everything goes according to what I have been told or it could go to next week. Q: With all the past time seeing this over and over and not seeing this happening do you see this over this year? Ray yes based on the info yes. Q: Today Iran announced they are coming out with a new currency. Have you heard where we can exchange it. Ray: No Q: Is there is a new rate in the supplemental budget? Ray: I don't know I have not heard or seen that. Q Do you know of any banks in Colorado or N Mexico? Ray: I have a list but I don't know off hand.Callers: Caller: 470 Catnip: We keep looking for security and unity and Kurdistan is trying to pull away. That leaves Iraq shaky. How much in you opinion is this a magician trick? Ray: There has been no comment of this being an issue. Catnip: We have a presumption it is going to be Abadi to make an announcement. Whatn is the likelihood it may be someone else to announce this? Ray: It could be anyone's guess and heard nothing about that. Abadi has made statements about economic reform and now all we need is action. Catnip I like what you say on or before August 1st. Caller: 210: I have a question of something that was said on Open mic talking about 2 non believers that saw a pending value on the dinar. Ray: Apparently the non believers are now believers. Caller: 747: Are the salaries going to be paid to the carholders this month ? Ray: The expectation is they are to be paid by the end of the month. All we can do is wait it out and see what happens. Caller: 281: Have you had any memos on the banks in the US? Ray: Not yet. Caller: 360 Is there a difference between a sovereign rate, street rate and international rate. Ray: I have no idea. Caller: Heard the border between Saudi Arabia and Iraq will be open. Ray: That is great. Ray's Wrap Up: We are in a good place based on factual and promised info. This can happen anytime between now and the first, and this will get underway in the next day or too. We will have to wait it out. I think this RV date is like a storm. It is forecasted but may change force. I think most of them will be on the same page between now and the first unless something else pops up. Watching banking community, they are status quo. Once you hear dont take vacations, bring a bg lunch or leave your cell phone in a box, those are indications of things to pop. Lets see what banking info we hear in the next few days. Iraq is something different until the bank get the green light at the new rate, so we wait and see. This ride looks like it will be over by August 1st. What we have been through and what you can read is seeing this should be it until something else comes up. Until then, just wait patiently until more info comes out. Thank you all for being on. Keep Believing since I sure do! Rayren98

"Opportunties" - GCR/RV Op-Ed - Monday - July 24, 2017



Many in Dinarland are desperately attempting to understand and participate in the seemingly new and exciting Treasury Direct Account debt relief program (aka TDAs).

However, TDAs are neither new nor as exciting as they first appear.

Sure it's understandable and legal that people desire to pay off their debts as desperation is obviously running wild in this community--this after so many years of waiting for first basket RV currencies to revalue publicly, ultimately to be made redeemable through private appointment.

But as with all currencies and historic bonds waiting to be reconciled, all are clearly in the same USN activation basket anticipating a global shot gun start.

It's therefore fair to conclude that all accounts worldwide are simply waiting for a common quantum computer release code, that we hope launches the new American gold backed currency.

This is why your sincere and valid requests for debt payment satisfaction via the TDA program are being reversed. It's just not time yet to release the new digital money globally aka USN.

And why even electronic wires are not being processed. As the shot gun start has not yet begun in earnest--at least not as of Monday morning.

Thus setting high expectations of immediate debt relief as well as new asset accumulation emotional suicide until said USNs are released.

Try thinking of each RV asset class as a different tiered level of opportunity that all wait on the same starters gun.

Debt relief programs (TDA) will be the instrument used to pay off accrued institutional debts for non-currency or historic bond holders -- but post RV.

Currency redemptions (IQD, VND, AFA, IDR, IRR) will the instrument used for generational wealth and hard / soft asset accumulation -- but post RV.

Historic Bond redemptions (ZIM) will the instrument used to provide the world with much needed infrastructure, job creation and humanitarian project funding -- but post RV.

Now all the above exciting monetary opportunities will eventually come to pass--and we pray in short order--just after the USN is officially globally released by the Republic Leadership & the Chinese Elders (through AIIB/HSBC) who will determine when the timing is just right--and not a minute before (pre-RV).

Also worth noting is that a temporary version of USN has long been used by this well researched community.

This currency version does not reveal itself in the form of rainbow colored printed bills by the Republic Treasury Department without any Federal Reserve Bank markings or identification. Although the bills do slightly vary in color and design from existing USD bills.

Many internet gurus feel we're close to the USN release, but again, not there quite yet.
But in fairness to them, the Chinese Elders and Republic leadership -- this temporary physical version of USN is doing the job nicely in the meantime and has been since it was launched in the third fiscal quarter of 2013.

That's when a hybrid of your existing USD bills (seen below) and a similar but different version of new USN gold backed bills were order printed and released by the Chinese Elders--who had immediately assumed all global debt responsibilities of the permanently defaulted United States of America, Inc. in December 2012.

These same Chinese Elders are the ones responsible for safe guarding a vast supply of physical wealth also known as the global collateral accounts.

And they used these temporary USN bills to help America and all other nations reliant on the USD worldwide to begin a peaceful transition off fiat / physical USD currency and onto asset backed / digital USN currency.

So yes, temporary USN bills are currently in circulation now, and you are pro Scot very familiar how they look and feel already.



(Notes:* The temporary $100 USN bill came a little later than the $50, $20, $10, $5 bills. ** The $1 & $2 USN bills were always gold backed and thus did not replacing.)

So there's no reason to panic or get exacerbated about TDA reversals or what feels like delays to the process.

Know the TDA program was set up to help those without an ability to afford purchasing revaluing currencies or general indifference / ignorance to the GCR/RV.

These people will still be able to pay off their debts long term and gently receive GESARA benefits via their internet connection and social security number.

But they are not you because you are informed and thus intellectually invested.

But all above asset classes are in limbo, existing in a temporary state of abundant wealth mind pre-RV--which includes those considerably more valuable currencies and historic bonds.

Please try to remain patient, calm, appreciative and respectful to this invisible process that has been lovingly created to protect and provide for everyone worldwide for many generations.

Making whatever struggle you feel 100% self induced.

God is with us.



"Wheeled" - GCR/RV Intel SITREP - Monday - July 24, 2017



It's been confirmed by someone who helped write the health care bill that the RV (USN, gold standard return) is buried within the American Health Care Act which is being voted on tomorrow night in the US Senate.

This after weeks of delays.

Voting in majority favor of the bill will make our money gold backed with President Trump's signature and why he was even placed/forced there in the first place.

Once signed, Trump will be removed from office and the RV will be allowed to release by Grandmother/Quan Yin.

Everything technically, structurally and financially is ready for this endless saga to find closure.

Also as a result of the repeated delays on passing healthcare (RV), leading cabal obstructionist John McCain's left eye was removed via blunt force by a Chinese General who is here over seeing the RV for the Elders.

McCain is now being forced back to Washington, D.C. by military escort, and literally being wheeled onto the Senate floor as to vote in favor of the gold standard (health care).

Can't make this shit up folks.

God is with us.

   The CBI talked about economic reforms in the next few days, and said that they would lose IMF support if they didn’t get it done!  We haven’t had confirmation of lower denominations. IT was said that the supplementary budget had to be passed first, and we understand that when it is passed, the rest will appear in the next few days. Over the weekend, we were told that the budget was approved and it should show up in the Gazette on Wednesday.   Iraq has a meeting ...1. August with the World Bank about their 580 billion dollar loan, and reforms must be in place before that time. The CBI has submitted their paperwork to the World Bank, and I guess we are waiting for the IMF and World Bank to sign off on it. So we are looking for this to unfold prior to August 1, or on August 1. We’re feeling pretty good about the 1. August, or before, unless something unforeseen happens.  It looks like we are at the end of this ride, based on the information.
 
7-24-2017   Newshound Guru mike    Demand for the dollar is high and will only get higher now that ISIL is out of Mosul, construction and other imports are going to be needed and that's all bought with dollars. The IMF has placed a minimum amount of time to hold that 2% spread and that's 90 days, so, the minimum amount of time necessary to get the 2% straight is 90 days, in addition to how long it takes to actually get the spread to that minimum, say a month or twenty, it all depends on what the CBI can do.   [post 2 of 2]

7-24-2017   Newshound Guru mike   [Getting the dinar into Article VIII would be the first step into stopping the auctions? That would mean the spread would have to be 2%; how close are they to that at this time?]  Great question, here's the thing, if Iraq un-pegged today there would be no disparity between the market and street rates, although, the IMF has advised them not too. WhyBecause if they do, the dinar will more than likely drop to somewhere around 1500-$1 which would increase inflation and the pain the citizens are already feeling. Without an economy and exports other than oil, there's next to zero demand for the dinar and that won't change overnight, we're still waiting for the needed legislation to encourage internal business creation and foreign investment.  [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

This is what you do one minute of sports a day

Lester - Iraq Press - July 23: Many people think that to get good sports results, you have to devote his life in the gym, and keep it for long hours, but this is not true.
A recent study shows that exercising for one minute a day can be very beneficial for your health.
According to a study by the Exeter and Leicester universities, women who exercise 60 to 120 seconds a day at high weights, with high intensity and pressure, have an improvement in bone density of up to 4 percent more than women who do not exercise.
According to the British Independent newspaper, after reaching the age of 30, people tend to lose bone mass more than they gain and help the sport increase your bone density and decrease the incidence of osteoporosis.
A previous study of more than 2,500 female participants found that women were at greater risk of osteoporosis with significantly reduced postmenopausal density.
According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, ten women aged 60 years are affected by osteoporosis, up to two-thirds of women aged 90 years.
Says Dr. "There is a clear link between this type of high-intensity exercise and exercise that puts pressure on the body in a tight time to reach the maximum effort and health of bones in women," said Victoria Styles, a study supervisor.
In a previous study this year, researchers at the University of McMaster found that 60 seconds of exercise is divided into 3 parts in 20 seconds with maximum pressure on the body that increases your health.
