The Big Call w/ Bruce Intel Notes by PinkRoses 9-28-17
Thank you
PinkRoses for continually transcribing Bruce's call. ~ Dinar
Chronicles
THE BIG CALL WITH BRUCE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2017, INTEL ONLY
TRANSCRIBED BY PINKROSES
Bruce: Good Evening, Everybody Welcome to the Big Call. Here we are September 28th. At 6:22pm EST, there is an information blackout regarding the GCR and RV starting at 6:22pm EST for at least 24 hours. Did that keep Bruce from getting some Intel? NO, but it did take place at 6:22pm tonight and it will go for at least 24 hours.
Bruce: Has Iraq put out their new rate so the world can see it yet? No. Question, when will they do it? My understanding is it will happen sometime Sunday. I don’t know exactly when, but sometime Sunday. When I was told this, I was also told Sunday is the first day of their business week. Also, that it will be talked about with another announcement and put on their Jumbotron TV monitors in at least 9 provinces. That is going to be big time.
Bruce: Let’s go back here for a minute. What else is happening here? We know that the Fines and Penalties were supposed to have started this afternoon. Realize they need to go out and be paid prior to us being notified. We also believed the core groups under the Admiral need to be paid out as well. Our understanding is that is occurring and should happen late tomorrow afternoon. That is very positive.
Bruce: When it comes to us, I am going to say it his way, Memos have gone out to the Redemption Centers with the exact schedule for redemption. I don’t know when they are going to start, but I can tell you when they are suppose to end. They are to end Sunday night October 15th at midnight when the Redemption Centers will stop doing exchanges unless a change takes place. John Q Public would start Monday, October 26th. That will be the start date for John Q Public
Bruce: We have the UN Operational rates in place, new Forex for the rates, and new rates for the public. Not the same rates we would have at the Redemption Centers, for the so called privately negotiable rates that we will see. Those rates were on the back screens this morning at HSBC. Then sometime early this afternoon at Wells Fargo, no rates were showing front or back screens. That tells you something there.
Bruce: We know the rates we saw earlier today were moving on up. They were hitting sort of the top end where they wanted to be for the ZIM, well in an advance of what we expected on the dinar. The dong is where it should be, very high, and so was the rupiah slightly below of the level of the dong. You know that we have not declared to the world we are asset back yet. We have not declared it to the world. We have had TRN that has been gold back for over a year. We have an USN that has been in place that is asset back for several weeks now, but we have not declared that yet to the world. When will that occur? I don’t know exactly when it could be. It could be as early as October 1, but could be later than that. I would say it is going to be important that the world knows we have an asset back dollar again, partially gold back but completely asset back. At that point when it is announced, the so called fiat dollar internationally it will no longer be taken and we will have opportunity to use our money, exchange the old dollars we have now and utilize the same time with the new money we will get, the USN notes which probably we probably transition in a month to two years time. As we receive paychecks, money at the banks we will get new notes. Our money will spend in the meantime. It will be a one on one exchange for fiat dollars to USN notes, 1 for 1.
Bruce: What other currencies are doing well right now that are gold back? Russian ruble and Chinese Yuan have gone up in value because they are gold back. Those two currencies are purchasing oil with their gold back rubles and Yuan. That gives value to those currencies. They no longer are having to use the petrol dollar to buy oil. Is the petrol dollar dead yet? I wouldn’t give it too long before it is gone.
Bruce: I think what is interesting is what should happen to us based on the information I have and knowledge of the Redemption Centers and their schedule for exchanges I would say we should have a wonderful weekend. That is what I am going to say about it. I am thinking this is going just about to the very end of the month. The first of October is Sunday. I think we are set to have a wonderful weekend. I think we need to see Fines and Penalties pay out, core groups pay out, and things are moving along briskly tonight and tomorrow. Thing are popping and happening.
Bruce: Large humanitarian sources have been told they will receive funds on Saturday. I think that is going to be an important day. You are in a great place to continue to have faith for this, to continue to believe and be part of a greater community. That is what I want to stay together and do projects together. I talked about Rebuild America and the Veterans Retreat Network. We have plans to get both of those underway and other projects such as community gardens, water filtration, all that needs to be done to rebuild America, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and any other islands that will have us. If we will be welcome without a ton of red tape we will help them. We have the knowledge, the technology, the where-with-all to get things going. I am serious about talking about homes that will last, hurricane proof, highly resistant to strong winds. Also build tornado shelters in those states that have a lot of tornadoes such as Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, etc.
Bruce: Intel wise rates are high. Intel is nonexistence for 24 hours since 6:22 pm EST. I think we are in great shape. Silence is golden. Don’t be sucked into fake news or Intel you read. Don’t worry about it. Just chill out, enjoy tonight, and enjoy tomorrow. Sign up on the new website: bigcalluniverse.com a
Bruce: Another thing, we may if we are allowed to, once I have the toll free number, we will send out an email blast to the people who register on our new website:bigcalluniverse.com. That is not the only way you will get the number, I think we will try to see if we throw out an email blast to those who register to our new website:bigcalluniverse.com. I want those who are listening to the Big Call unless you have a group you want to be part of, to consider you will do very well using the number and calling to set your appointment at the Redemption Centers in Canada and US. That does not include Mexico. Mexico will use HSBC and other banks.
Bruce: As far as we know, the Redemption Centers are set up to give us PNR, or Privately Negotiable Rates. I am telling you the rates on the screens this morning, on the back screens, were substantial, way better than we ever thought in the past. Can you privately negotiate these rates higher? Yes you can. Based on the strength of your projects, presentation, or how well you present the fact you want to be a partner with the Big Call Universe to do Rebuild America and work with our Veterans.
Bruce: That is it for tonight. I am excited for you and for us and our community. I want to thank you for listening so faithfully. I do expect this to be our last call officially. I do expect to move into our new home of Big Call universe and start working on our podcast scenario. I know you will have a lot of things you will be doing as we are. We are not going to hit the ground running on day one, because there is a lot to do. You have to get doing with your own banking, financial money managers, CPAs, attorneys, family office, etc. and you may be looking at new real estate, a new ride.
Bruce: I want you to enjoy this. This is not a job for you. I am not trying to hire you. I want some of you to be part of this great project. I just want you to know that is my heart, my vision. You know what we are thinking about and how we plan to come together. All have a beautiful night and get some sleep and we are looking forward to a wonderful weekend. Thank you Sue, Bob, Pastor Steven, and Kent. Good night everybody.

THE BIG CALL WITH BRUCE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2017, INTEL ONLY
TRANSCRIBED BY PINKROSES
Bruce: Good Evening, Everybody Welcome to the Big Call. Here we are September 28th. At 6:22pm EST, there is an information blackout regarding the GCR and RV starting at 6:22pm EST for at least 24 hours. Did that keep Bruce from getting some Intel? NO, but it did take place at 6:22pm tonight and it will go for at least 24 hours.
Bruce: Has Iraq put out their new rate so the world can see it yet? No. Question, when will they do it? My understanding is it will happen sometime Sunday. I don’t know exactly when, but sometime Sunday. When I was told this, I was also told Sunday is the first day of their business week. Also, that it will be talked about with another announcement and put on their Jumbotron TV monitors in at least 9 provinces. That is going to be big time.
Bruce: Let’s go back here for a minute. What else is happening here? We know that the Fines and Penalties were supposed to have started this afternoon. Realize they need to go out and be paid prior to us being notified. We also believed the core groups under the Admiral need to be paid out as well. Our understanding is that is occurring and should happen late tomorrow afternoon. That is very positive.
Bruce: When it comes to us, I am going to say it his way, Memos have gone out to the Redemption Centers with the exact schedule for redemption. I don’t know when they are going to start, but I can tell you when they are suppose to end. They are to end Sunday night October 15th at midnight when the Redemption Centers will stop doing exchanges unless a change takes place. John Q Public would start Monday, October 26th. That will be the start date for John Q Public
Bruce: We have the UN Operational rates in place, new Forex for the rates, and new rates for the public. Not the same rates we would have at the Redemption Centers, for the so called privately negotiable rates that we will see. Those rates were on the back screens this morning at HSBC. Then sometime early this afternoon at Wells Fargo, no rates were showing front or back screens. That tells you something there.
Bruce: We know the rates we saw earlier today were moving on up. They were hitting sort of the top end where they wanted to be for the ZIM, well in an advance of what we expected on the dinar. The dong is where it should be, very high, and so was the rupiah slightly below of the level of the dong. You know that we have not declared to the world we are asset back yet. We have not declared it to the world. We have had TRN that has been gold back for over a year. We have an USN that has been in place that is asset back for several weeks now, but we have not declared that yet to the world. When will that occur? I don’t know exactly when it could be. It could be as early as October 1, but could be later than that. I would say it is going to be important that the world knows we have an asset back dollar again, partially gold back but completely asset back. At that point when it is announced, the so called fiat dollar internationally it will no longer be taken and we will have opportunity to use our money, exchange the old dollars we have now and utilize the same time with the new money we will get, the USN notes which probably we probably transition in a month to two years time. As we receive paychecks, money at the banks we will get new notes. Our money will spend in the meantime. It will be a one on one exchange for fiat dollars to USN notes, 1 for 1.
Bruce: What other currencies are doing well right now that are gold back? Russian ruble and Chinese Yuan have gone up in value because they are gold back. Those two currencies are purchasing oil with their gold back rubles and Yuan. That gives value to those currencies. They no longer are having to use the petrol dollar to buy oil. Is the petrol dollar dead yet? I wouldn’t give it too long before it is gone.
Bruce: I think what is interesting is what should happen to us based on the information I have and knowledge of the Redemption Centers and their schedule for exchanges I would say we should have a wonderful weekend. That is what I am going to say about it. I am thinking this is going just about to the very end of the month. The first of October is Sunday. I think we are set to have a wonderful weekend. I think we need to see Fines and Penalties pay out, core groups pay out, and things are moving along briskly tonight and tomorrow. Thing are popping and happening.
Bruce: Large humanitarian sources have been told they will receive funds on Saturday. I think that is going to be an important day. You are in a great place to continue to have faith for this, to continue to believe and be part of a greater community. That is what I want to stay together and do projects together. I talked about Rebuild America and the Veterans Retreat Network. We have plans to get both of those underway and other projects such as community gardens, water filtration, all that needs to be done to rebuild America, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and any other islands that will have us. If we will be welcome without a ton of red tape we will help them. We have the knowledge, the technology, the where-with-all to get things going. I am serious about talking about homes that will last, hurricane proof, highly resistant to strong winds. Also build tornado shelters in those states that have a lot of tornadoes such as Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, etc.
Bruce: Intel wise rates are high. Intel is nonexistence for 24 hours since 6:22 pm EST. I think we are in great shape. Silence is golden. Don’t be sucked into fake news or Intel you read. Don’t worry about it. Just chill out, enjoy tonight, and enjoy tomorrow. Sign up on the new website: bigcalluniverse.com a
Bruce: Another thing, we may if we are allowed to, once I have the toll free number, we will send out an email blast to the people who register on our new website:bigcalluniverse.com. That is not the only way you will get the number, I think we will try to see if we throw out an email blast to those who register to our new website:bigcalluniverse.com. I want those who are listening to the Big Call unless you have a group you want to be part of, to consider you will do very well using the number and calling to set your appointment at the Redemption Centers in Canada and US. That does not include Mexico. Mexico will use HSBC and other banks.
Bruce: As far as we know, the Redemption Centers are set up to give us PNR, or Privately Negotiable Rates. I am telling you the rates on the screens this morning, on the back screens, were substantial, way better than we ever thought in the past. Can you privately negotiate these rates higher? Yes you can. Based on the strength of your projects, presentation, or how well you present the fact you want to be a partner with the Big Call Universe to do Rebuild America and work with our Veterans.

Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...Iraq is already half way into
Article 8. They have been working hard for almost a decade to get
there. Yes – they need to immerse fully in Article 8
to be an international player and this is coming
shortly.
9-28-2017 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 ..."Global Currency Reset" ... There is NO GLOBAL CURRENCY RESET... I won't go into all the reasons why such is an impossible endeavor... We can't get 2 countries to agree on the simplest of things.
9-28-2017 Intel/Newshound Guru payray Which begs the question... With all of this deficit, and need to rebuild, how much of an increase will their have to be in order to fulfill all of these glaring obligations?... Has it been the plan to place so much of a burdensome debt upon Iraq so as to justify the need to have a higher rate? With all of the talk of the wealth within Iraq as well... Are they preparing for a high rate vs. the dollar?... Just an observation, and I do not know the outcome of all of this obviously... But when you begin to see what is transpiring, you cannot help but wonder... [post 2 of 2]
9-28-2017 Intel/Newshound Guru payray Article: "The dangers of the depletion of the Iraqi Central Bank its reserves in financing the budget deficit" The continued use of the US dollar to carry out the financial affairs of Iraq is depleting their reserves due to increased spending within government, and the conversion of the dinar to the dollar as well... The CBI is declaring that they need to remain independent of the Iraqi government, but had to intervene when the financial situation had worsened... This screams of the need to raise the rate of the Iraqi dinar folks... They know it, and yet only harp on the same subject over, and over again... When they do finally go international with the dinar, and raise the rate, it will alleviate so many problems as it concerns deficits... Which is why it is odd as to why they have done this sooner?... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
9-28-2017 Intel Guru Frank26 Jabouri had over 30 secret meetings while in NYC with other nations...All under the direction of Abadi. Nothing has been released about these meetings. They wouldn't meet with Iraq if there is still a program rate. Abadi ready to give his speech.
9-28-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Politically Iraq could in-fact fall apart and end up with an internal civil war with Kurdistan. Remember the Kurds hold 1/3 of all political positions within the GOI. I am hopeful that the new democracy is strong enough and they will not resort to forceful civil unrest or war. But there is still way too much POLITICAL and SECURITY instability to even think they would push out a reinstatement of their currency at this time. Do they need a higher rate to their currency? This is a loaded question and is hard to define. Yes – many economists believe the currency SHOULD be valued much higher than it is (and I agree)... Are they ready to RV as far as the reforms and what the CBI has done to set them up? Yes – they are fully ready, but it is these factors now that plan a major role in triggering the final part of the process of the “project to delete the zeros”. This final process is what we watch and wait for. [post 2 of 2

9-28-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Trust me
this is not my “opinion” either...The Kurds are not just being
rebellious and this is not just some “smoke” screen for the RV.
Barzani fully intends to separate Kurdistan from the Iraqi Republic but remember
this is not an overnight deal. It will take years to accomplish.
Meanwhile what will be the GOI response? How about the response of its
neighbors? There will be many impacts all around. We are told it
will not be pleasant...the Kurds will not be allowed to leave peacefully.
The Kurds overwhelmingly voted for the referendum and got over 60%
turnout for the vote and the voting process was a huge success. Iraq is
now experiencing major crises and this is disappointing as we really don’t know
how this is all going to turn out. [post 1 of 2....stay

9-28-2017 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [Not real sure about the numbers, but I think I've seen that the Kurd province produces 12 percent of all Iraqi oil and represent 17 percent of the Iraqi population. Wouldn't be better for Iraq (and us) if the Kurds cecede?] If the Kurdish region went Independent, Baghdad (Iraq) would lose their northern border with friendly Turkey and gain a new border with less agreeable tenants (the KRG)... so no, I don't think that is something they want. They also have to address Article140, which neither side wants to cave on. And even if it is "just 12%" of their production/revenue... That is a pretty significant number. So overall, I don't think Baghdad will want to let this happen. Would it be better for us? I don't think it would further the HCL agenda, it might even hurt it. The Kurds would create their own new currency, and we'd still have IQD with less chance of an RV. So in my opinion, nope. Not good for us if they secede.
9-28-2017 Intel/Newshound Guru payray Article: "Association of Private Banks organizes a workshop on safety requirements for financial transfer systems" Quote: "...the presence of the Central Bank for most workshops held by the Association of Private Banks A significant indication of its importance because it is part of its strategy to be implemented during the next five years" [What does this mean?] It means we are preparing for Iraq to go international... [Implemented during the next five years" Gooodness, I could be here awhile.] Nah... Once they go international, it will be a process... But once they do go international, a new rate will be imposed... They will be forever learning, and changing international standards...
9-28-2017 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 [So if the kurds go independent then we have wallpaper and not currency anymore...] You will find out in a few more days...Abadi ordered Kurds to turn over all land...Airports will shut down Friday at 1800 hrs...Borders will be secured...And Iraq military will take over... Barzani was very respectful of Abadi...and they want to support him as PM in the upcoming elections... I know of this from inside...SO... My excitement which makes no sense to many...makes sense to me...Abadi may be playing actor among a bunch of snakes surrounding him and high pressure...But what I know or thought to be true...this is not making sense ...ZERO!

Not in today
Artmeister:
THE BIG CALL has a new website. Seems like it is
BigCallUniverse.com.
At 622 PM EDT
tonight there is an information blackout tonight , running for at least 24
hours.
Q: Has Iraq put out their new rate so the
world can see it? NO.
When will they? My understanding is sometime
Sunday.
First day of their week.
That will be put out along with another
announcement, on their 50 x 80 foot Jumbotrons.
The Fines and Penalties are to have started
(being paid) this afternoon. Those are to be done before our group exchanges.
Core group should be paid out by late tomorrow afternoon.
When it comes to us: Memos have gone out to
the redemption centers, with the exact schedule of redemption. They are to stop doing exchanges Sunday night 15
October, at midnight.
Monday 16th is when John Q public
starts. New UN rates, new public rates.
New rates were in banks on back screens this
morning.
In WF today, NO RATES were showing, front or
back.
Rates from early this morning were moving on
up, top end of where they are wanted for zim,
Zim and dong are where they should be. Very
high. So was Rupiah. Slightly below level of dong.
US has not declared that we are asset backed
yet. TRN has been used for over a year. USN has been in use for several weeks,
but has not been declared. Might be declared as soon as Oct 1st, but
could be later. It will be important the world knows that we have an asset
backed dollar again, partially gold backed.
Fiat dollar will no longer be taken. Can be
used with new USN asset backed, which may transition out in 6 mos to 2
years.
FRNs and USNs
will exchange 1:1.
Russian Ruble
is now gold backed, has gone up 30% in value.
Chinese RMB
is up about 32%. Both are purchasing oil with their currency. Not with
petrodollar anymore.
Petrodollar is not dead yet, but will
be.
Based on what
I hear of the schedule for redemption centers, we should have a wonderful
weekend!!! It is going to the end of the month!
We need to see fines and penalties paid out,
core groups paid. Tomorrow, and even tonight,
things are happening.
Large
humanitarian fund sources have been told they will see funding on Saturday. So,
we are in a great place.
We can build tornado shelters for high
tornadic activity states. $6000 each.
Sam Solis: The people who are in charge of the
global RV reset have had to change direction a million times to satisfy the
leaders and people of 209 countries, setting up a new financial system... There
are thousands of moving pieces to consider at any given moment 24/7.... it's
complicated .. I think everyone who brings intel in such a fluid time as this
deserves better than what has been given in some of the idiotic guru posts
lately.

for the next period," Yildirim told reporters in Turkey. "We want a three-way
summit," he said.
Yildirim's office said he discussed the referendum
in a phone conversation with Iranian First Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri on
September 28. Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey all have sizable Kurdish populations
and have had to deal for years with Kurdish restiveness and calls for
autonomy.
The biggest share of the approximately 30 million
Kurds in the region live in Turkey, which for decades has battled the PKK
Kurdish militant group fighting for independence within its borders. Although
the Kurdish region in northern Iraq already has a considerable degree of
autonomy from Baghdad, its voters this week endorsed a nonbinding resolution
calling for independence by a margin of 92.7 percent.
Baghdad, Ankara, and Tehran have refused to
recognize the results of the vote and are now seeking to pressure the Iraqi
Kurds to back down on their bid for independence by cutting economic ties and
isolating the region.
Turkey has threatened to shut its border with
Iraq's Kurdish region and halt the flow of oil from that region through a
pipeline to Turkey's Mediterranean port of Ceyhan. Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar
al-Abadi's office said on September 28 that Turkey also agreed to deal only with
the Baghdad government in the future on crude oil exports.
Iraqi Kurdish officials say they can withstand an
economic blockade because they are self-sufficient in power generation and fuel
supply, and have fertile agricultural land. They also say that most of the
trucks crossing the Turkish border are only traveling through the Kurdish region
on their way to territory controlled by Baghdad, so any blockade would hurt
Turkey's and Iraq's economy as well as the Kurdish
region.

leave Kurdistan

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bakr Buzdag said his country's
armed forces had stopped training Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga forces, stressing that
his country would take further steps in response to the referendum on
secession.
"Turkey is determined to conduct its dealings with the central
government in Baghdad after the Iraqi Kurdistan referendum," Buzdag, a
government spokesman, said in an interview. "The prime ministers of the two
countries, Ben Ali Yildirim and Haidar Abadi, will meet soon."
"Turkey, Iraq and Iran may hold a tripartite meeting to
discuss the Kurdistan referendum," Yildirim said, adding that he agreed with
Abadi to coordinate economic and trade relations with the central government in
Baghdad after the Abadi government seized control of the border crossings with
Turkey.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry called on its citizens to leave
the Kurdistan region before the suspension of flight tomorrow.
The administration of Erbil airport announced the suspension
of all international flights as of Friday evening, after a decision by the
central government in Baghdad.
The Council of Ministers decided last Tuesday to impose a ban
on flights to and from Kurdistan within 3 days, if not subject to the airports
of the province of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah to the federal government, in the
context of procedures to respond to the referendum on
secession.
