TNT CONFERENCE CALL FRIDAY 10/13/17 DC NY CALL RECAP:
Good afternoon TNT Superfantastic Family. Today is Fantabulous Friday. We are here to talk about a few things and then enjoy our weekend. We left Wednesday's call with expectations with the banking system being somewhat on call starting this weekend with the call centers. I have not heard from any of the facility locations yet, so I don't know if they are on call yet or not. It was anticipated for Friday to be on call as far as some of the call centers. I would imagine some exchange locations as well. While we await that, it looks like we are still awaiting the official announcement of Ali Alak as the Governor of the CBI, so that is still forthcoming. The other interest items we have on Iraq and the US banks met over in DC for International interests in the financial sectors, so we know those things are in the works. Now it has come to my attention the plan supposedly for Abadi to announce the full liberation of Iraq all provinces in late November or early December with the International Rate finally surfacing in January, but you know what a plan is. It is just a set of desired results based on desired timeframes that a lot of times does not manifest according to the plan .I will give you an example. One of the military commanders is on TV over in Iraq today referencing in the coming days full liberation saying that it is 97% now, so it looks very unlikely that an Abadi announcement would come late Novermber early December. when in the coming days 97% clear could say next week. Think it would be full liberation before the month is out, so don't frett too much when you hear the plan. It is just a plan and plans always change and are met ahead of schedule. We won't let that deter us from being ever optimistic that this ride is about to come to an end. Now they are saying in the coming days, so that sounds good. Q and A: Q There has been many reports of a potential military conflict between the Kurds and Iraqi forces. There supposedly has been a buildup of military forces or Kurds and Iraqi Army near Kirkuk. I have to imagine if a conflict does break out that will put in a definite delay in the RV. What have you been hearing? Ray: I have been hearing anyday now the RV is happening so whatever the conflicts that exist between Kirkuk, the rest of Iraq and the Kurds is not an issue accoriding to sources I am hearing from. Q: If you can share any new news on the Dong or Zim? Ray: No I have not heard anything new. Q Any Iraq TV or Mosque update you can share? Ray: I did that in the opening statement. Q: Have you received any updates from your hedge fund contacts or any other high wealth contacts? Ray: No Q: Please explain contracts rates. Ray: Contract rates from what we remember hearing way back is a special set of rate on currencies that one can receive and why they exist is beyond me, but supposedly they exist. We have members who have contacts that have seen contract rates on the screen in the system. The dinar was in a 20-30 dollar range contract rate. That could be a contract rate, but for the rest of us $20-$30 where as the regular international rate $3.71 you would have to sign a contract and if you breach the contract they will take all of the money that you received during the exchange and anything you bought that would hang in the balance. The contract would be called an NDA non disclosure agreement and you are promising to keep you mouth shut, and not disclose the activity you were involved in or suffer the consequences.Callers: Caller: 519 I checked on a TD currency bank. They did have it on the screen, but it didn't have any rate. The head teller said they are not trading it at this time. Ray's Wrap Up: So we are just basically waiting. Lets see what happens next if the call centers go on call hopefully we will get notification on that and especially if the exchange locations are on call we should get word from that as well. So we are looking for some exciting things to possibly happen throughout the weekend that will give us a better outlook on what next week will yield, especially with these recent development with the surrenders goin on and with Daash the provinces being cleared aheard of schedule or supposedly ahead of this plan that came out to us if that is the plan. It should be modified already. So I think we are in a good place. Folks are gearing up possibly looking for it this weekend into the first of the week. We are definately I Believe seeing this ride come to an end. At least we can remove the question or is this thing ever going to happen? It's on the way, so lets enjoy our Friday and go into the weekend and have a good time with family or friends or whatever things you have on your agenda for the weekend. If something else pops out, we will send out an update and put a text message posted in the forum or chatroom to update you and bring you information. So in the meantime and in between time we patiently wait, because I Believe! How about you? Enjoy your weekend! Rayren98

Iraqi Kurds Deploy Extra Forces Near Kirkuk as Tensions Spiral
Bloomberg

Iraq’s Kurdish administration deployed an extra 6,000 fighters to near the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, responding to what it says are “threats” of an attack by government forces, the Kurdish news agency reported. Iraqi authorities denied preparing for military action against the Kurds, saying activity to the south of Kirkuk was meant to “cleanse” areas recently freed from Islamic State control.

Zimbabwe: Bitcoin Reliance - Central Bank Loses Out On Interest RatesAllAfrica
The increasing reliance on Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, by Zimbabweans, is disastrous, as the country is losing out on monetary policy interventions, which can be useful when the Reserve Bank has a currency it can control, a leading American academic has said. A cryptocurrency is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange using cryptography to secure the transactions and to control the creation of additional units of the currency.

0-14-2017   Intel Guru RayRen98    ...we are...still awaiting the official announcement of Ali al-Allaq as the Governor of the CBI.  Iraqi and US banks met in DC about international interests in the financial sector, so those things are in the works.  Supposedly the plan is for Abadi to announce the full liberation of Ira in late November, with the international rate surfacing in January.  But you know that a plan is just some desired results according to a certain time line.  However, one of the military leaders is saying on television that 97% of Iraq has already been liberated – that could b 100% within a week!  We remain optimistic this ride is coming to an end ‘in the coming days’.   We’ll see what happens over the weekend or setting us up for next week, with the liberation of Iraq or whatever the plan turns out to be.  I definitely believe we are seeing this ride come to an end.  It’s on the way!
 
10-13-2017   Intel/Newshound Guru payray   Article:  "Kurdish Referendum may see Iraqi Elections Postponed"   An opinion piece... I still believe that the referendum was purposely carried out as a diversion tactic... It has certainly been the focal point these last few weeks as the writer points out... As far as their local, and national elections?... Does it really matter that much?... The continued drive towards economic prosperity continues in Iraq despite all of this... Which leads me to believe that Iraq is being lead by those not necessarily within Iraq... But if it is getting the job done, in the end, those who hold high office within this country will get the credit...   

10-13-2017   Intel Guru Rayren98 
  [...there have been numerous reports of a potential military conflict between the Kurds and the Iraqi forces.  There reportedly have been a build up of military forces from the Kurds and the Iraqi Army in Kirkuk.  I have to imagine that if a conflict does break out that will put an indefinite delay in the RV. What have you been hearing?]    “Any day now, the RV is happening”, so whatever conflict is being reported, that is not an issue according to my sources.

10-13-2017   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  "IRAQIS DEMAND TRIAL, EXECUTION OF MALIKI OVER MOSUL FALL TO ISIS"  Many keep asking me why this guy Maliki is still around.   ...Listen up! - NORI Al-MALIKI HAS IMMUNITY UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF HIS VP POSITION AND CURRENCY CAN NOT BE TOUCHED.  This trial, of course, can not take place until after the 2018 elections when Maliki loses his immunity under his VP position.  However the most important point to remember in this saga is this: 1) if this is the case he will do anything to either try to stay in some govt position that allows for immunity again or 2) he will create a crisis…again. This is the scary part and the part that could hold up the RV, if they don’t get it done prior to the election timeframe in 2018.  This is why he is still a liability and will continue to be a liability until they final get him….

And to think we have been brought to this point in order to partake of this part in history...  

10-13-2017  Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan  …Because what it’s based on is whatever the taxable income is in that particular calendar year…let’s say for example you decided to just cash in part of it the first year.  Part of it the next year and part of it the next year.  Great strategy if you could do that, that’s wonderful.  But remember you’re still gambling on solidity of the government and the currency and the solidity of the region.  So keep that in mind as you prepare and think about your strategies for cashing in your dinar.  But if you do take the time to spread those out over time…you’re still going to be caught up in whatever tax brackets applicable to you.  So don’t think that just because one year you got slammed the next year it’s going to go back to where the old one was…no that’s not how it works.  [Post 2 of 2]

In a nut shell... They do not want to be so dependent on oil, and the fluctuation of it pricing within the open market... But in order to get to that point, this is going to require more liquidity... Which means they are going to have to "you know what!".... Value, Value, Value, and a little over a half to their currency...  They are certainly prepping Iraq to become a MAJOR economic hub of the Middle East...

10-13-2013   Newshound Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  "A HOSTLE SITUATION IS DEVELOPING WITH THE KURDS ...this could be the beginning of a civil war, if not handled correctly!  Do you think they are going to RV if this happens?  They will use the excuse that they do not want to allow the dinar to rise in value so the Kurds can not have funds to support and resupply their forces against the federal forces. Do you see the picture here? YES – this could hold up the RV and I don’t care what any rating agency like FITCH or others have to say. FITCH is not the IMF and certainly not the CBI.  This could have significance reprocussions...   [post 2 of 2]

 There are 4 taxes we need to be aware of when dealing with the dinar.  And planning for those 4 taxes are going to pretty much take care of everything for the future.  #1.  Federal Taxes…you can find the tax brackets out on the internet anywhere and with the current idea’s being presented by Trump you’re going to see some changes on what those brackets are from 7 down to 3 once/if that passes everything. I’m hoping it does cause it’s going to make it a lot easier for everybody.  When you take a look at the tax brackets [federal] I have people asking me “Well if it’s only 15% that I’m paying right now is that going to change when I cash in the dinar?”  Well obviously it’s going to change!… [Post 1 of 2]

The recent Kurdish referendum was not so much about Kurdistan succeeded as it was more to get leverage to get the constitution “fully” implemented.  It was all about “stirring the pot” or “shaking the hive”.  It has been about 12 years already since the constitution of Iraq was ratified, and still it is not “fully” implemented.

MUST DOs REMINDER AGAIN


When there is an Revaluation Things to Remember HELPER
Good to Read Over!!!

Must Do's

1. ARRIVE EARLY! Make sure you know where you are going. Do not loiter. If you are too early, stay SECURELY in the general area.

2. Be discrete, be professional, and be alert and aware of your surroundings. BREATHE! Seriously consider hiring security to accompany you to your appointment or bring a trusted friend.

3. Collect business cards from everyone or take their name and phone numbers as well as the location of their regular branch office.

4. THE FIRST THING you will likely do is sign the NDA!

5. The second thing will be to learn the rates and make sure bank will not be charging a spread (reduction of the rate to you because bank takes a ‘fee’ for facilitating the transaction)

6. If you exchange multiple currencies, open separate accounts for each. DO NOT PUT FUNDS IN ANY EXISTING ACCOUNTS you may have with the bank. DO NOT CO-MINGLE FUNDS. This is a critical tax issue.

7. GET PRINTED RECEIPTS of all of the transactions with regard to all the accounts which includes Deposits, Debits, and Current Balance.

8. Record your account numbers for each account using the Bank Form in this book.You can also use this form to record other pertinent details about your account.

[ ] Get a receipt for your deposit. Some people are making copies of their currency and requiring the wealth manager signs off on each page.

[ ] Ask for all accounts to be NON – testing, Non – training and NOT available online (off internet). Require that the wealth manager be the only person with direct access to your account information.

[ ] Get a copy of your signed NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)

[ ] If you need immediate funds to deposit in some other current bank account to pay bills, etc. until you get your second appointment with your private banker. You can also use this time to get cashier’s checks to pay off existing debts, etc. Bank Cash Exchange Check ListAsk For Onsite verification and instant deposit credit. Some banks will try to require a 10-day hold. This is negotiable. YOU have the power.

Specific Requests

1. Please waive all bank fees

2. Banker to sign and date each IQN purchase receipt upon exchange of dinar

3. Flagged all accounts as access restricted to non-essential bank personnel and tagged as Non-test/Non-Training Accounts

4. Provide list of Cashier’s Check to be drafted for paying off bills, etc.

5. Book of checks (at least 10) to have with me when I leave

6. Ask for credit or debit cards that are secure. Be sure they are NOT RFID-enabled. (RFID = Radio Frequency Identification).

7. $10,000 cash in $50 bills

8. Gold/silver coins/bars if available

9. “Proof of Funds Letter(s)” (for each property to be purchased) from the bank to show to realtors and/or 10-20 CCCs if still applicable

10. Obtain copy of NDA

11. Do NOT agree to give the bank “power of attorney”. Not maintaining this control could result in the theft of some/all of your money.

12. Do NOT let a money manager have complete fiduciary control over any of your money. Make sure you have to sign for everything. Not maintaining this control could result in the theft of some/all of your money.

13. Do NOT have a “test” account. This opens access to your account, increasing the likelihood of theft.

14. Do NOT have access by all tellers. You want to protect your privacy and safeguard against theft.

15. Do NOT have automatic withdrawals on your accounts. Set up a secondary account that you can transfer money into instead of using the wealthy account.

16. Do NOT use computer or remote banking from your iPhone or computer

TRANSCRIBED BY PINKROSES
[Excerpts]
{Note: At the opening of the full call, prior to the praise reports and the usual marketing talk, Bruce stated again that this would be the last regular Tuesday-Thursday call.]
Bruce: I have been told not to go into certain areas tonight. This is what we can talk about. What has gone on in Iraq is the IMF has asked Iraq to do two things. Remember the law that was against about anti money laundering law in conjunction with counterfeiting? That law was passed long time ago. They want to see this enacted. The IMF wants to see that done. I believe that will get enacted. The other thing the IMF wants is to see Iraq’s reinstatement rate made public.
Bruce: Iraq has nine dignitaries who have been invited to come to the United States for the final day of the IMF meeting in Washington DC. Sunday would be the last day of the meeting. It makes sense that they would comply with the final things the IMF has requested before coming over to that meeting on Sunday. That is a positive thing for us.
[Omitted two paragraphs repeating all the stuff we have heard many times before about call centers and redemption centers.]
Bruce: Things are happening not only here in the United States, but all over the globe. Things we are hearing that are happening in European and in China. Some can’t talk due to having signed NDAS, and some are on gag orders. It is quiet for a reason. We are in a great place.
------------------------------------
[Omitted more repetitve blah, blah, blah.]
Bruce: I want all to enjoy this experience and have fun with it. We should have the best weekend of our lives.
Just stay strong, stay in faith, and stay confident and you should do very well. Everybody have a great night. Get some sleep look forward to a good weekend.

DEAR GCR Community ,
We have just received the following information from Bluwolf in Aceribo, Puerto Rico.
He has explained that the situation is truly devastating.
No help has come to his area. People are dying of lack of food and water while supplies sent in by their loved ones sit at the airport, without release.
He is expending all his energy to keep people alive. You can see his accounting of the money we raised. The only course of action we can take is get him money so that he can find what he can.
Bluwolf Message and Fundraiser Accounting
Over $2900.00 has been spent between construction, supplies, pampers, food, bottled water, (when found) gasoline, mess, respirators, insecticides, fruits when available, masks, eye drops, battery power , saws, drills and more.
And all with what you guys have sent me. You have been the beacon of light to so many people. For that I say thank you.
Be Blessed,
Bluwolf
We are sending this request out to every website in all of Dinarland. I am guessing that this post will reach a minimum of 30,000 dinarians. Can you please each give $3.00, the cost of a cup of coffee , to save these souls? This could be you or your family members dying. By the grace of God we are safe. Many Puerto Ricans are currency holders. Imagine knowing you hold riches and yet you are dying of hunger and thirst and you are watching your loved ones die.
Who are we if we stand by and watch this travesty? Knowing the cabal orchestrated it? Knowing we could do something by joining together 3 single dollar bills that will grow into thousands and save lives.
Yes, we are scrambling to find a way to send supplies post RV, which we believe is any moment now, but how many will die as we wait?
Every minute counts.
Can we count on You?

Weinstein Scandal Exposes Disney for Giving Convicted Pedophile Access to Kids as Film Director
Posted on October 12, 2017 by # 1 NWO Hatr
Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist
Pedophilia in Hollywood, according to victims and those who expose it, is rampant and exists throughout the industry. Those who expose it are often tarred and feathered in the mainstream and the predators in Hollywood remain protected. However, the recent revelations about the alleged sexual abuse doled out by Hollywood mogul, Harvey Weinstein, appears to be a chink in the pedophile protective armor enjoyed by Tinseltown.
After the NY Times piece exposed Harvey Weinstein for his rampant sexual harassment, actresses and actors came out to expose how they too have been abused in the industry. This massive coming out is forcing the mainstream media to finally cover the sexual abuse that goes on behind the scenes leaving a trail of damaged children and adults alike in its wake.
To highlight just how sick and depraved many of those in this industry are, shortly after Walt Disney Company bought Bob and Harvey Weinstein’s company in 1993, Disney hired a convicted child molester—who molested a young boy on a movie set—to direct the film Powder.
Becuase Disney acquired Miramax, they are now subject to potential lawsuits over the alleged abuse doled out by Weinstein since he stayed on with the firm until 2005.
“If, sometime between the years 1993 and 2005, when it owned Miramax, Disney was aware of Weinstein’s behavior, Disney was obligated to protect its employees, including young actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow and Rose McGowan, who claim to have been harassed, including Asia Argento who claims Weinstein raped her in 1997,” Breitbart’s John Nolte reported. “Outside of the ‘open secret,’ another issue that makes one wonder about Disney’s moral, ethical, and legal liability, is the settlements.”
“Unless Weinstein settled using his own money, which is unlikely, how could Disney not know about corporate money spent for sexual harassment settlements?”
Five years before Disney hired the convicted pedophile, Victor Salva, he was convicted of molesting a child on a movie set—which he directed—and for possessing child porn.
To highlight the nature of how Hollywood not only looks the other way in these instances but actually condones them, Disney cared not about hiring Salva and, once again, gave him access to children on the set of Powder.
Instead of lambasting Disney for hiring a convicted child predator, the industry went on to praise him.
“As controversy swirled around filmmaker Victor Salva, who pleaded guilty in 1988 to molesting a boy on the set of his low-budget picture ‘Clownhouse,’ Salva’s agent said that a good showing at the box office may salvage the 37-year-old director’s career,” the LA Times reported on Oct. 31, 1995.
“At least three studios are meeting with him. One has already given Victor scripts to read,” said his agent, David Gersh, who declined to name the studios.
“If ‘Powder’ does well,” Gersh added, “Victor will see work again. He is a true talent. If not . . . who’s to say?”
Let that sink in.
Not only was this man not blackballed in the industry for molesting children and possessing child porn buthe was being fought over by multiple Hollywood companies.
In fact, in spite of the controversy, Salva has gone on to write and direct many more Hollywood movies since Powder, including the horror series Jeepers Creepers, which releases its third sequel this year.
As the rest of society casts out pedophiles and makes them register as sex offenders to warn others about their tendencies to prey on children, Hollywood embraces them, gives them access to children, and puts them on a pedestal — a true horror story indeed.
As the Free Thought Project reported last year, childhood star turned adult actor Elijah Wood, also claimed Hollywood is in the midst of a massive sexual abuse scandal, which can be compared to that of Jimmy Savile in Britain.
Wood came forward in an interview to blow the lid off the dark underground world of child acting in Hollywood.
In the interview with the Sunday Times, Wood dropped a bombshell, noting how child actors were regularly “preyed upon” by industry figures.
“Clearly something major was going on in Hollywood,” said Wood. “It was all organized.”
“There are a lot of vipers in this industry, people who only have their own interests in mind,” continued Elijah Wood in his interview. “There is a darkness in the underbelly – if you can imagine it, it’s probably happened.”
Wood says the abuse runs unchecked because the victims “can’t speak as loudly as people in power.”
“That’s the tragedy of attempting to reveal what is happening to innocent people,” he said. “They can be squashed but their lives have been irreparably damaged.”
Wood is referring to the immense power of Hollywood elites to control the narrative and quash any allegations of abuse before they even happen.
This narrative is so controlled that after Wood made these comments, the very next day the mainstream media attacked him and forced him to downplay them.
Indeed, this control over the narrative is so strong, that Weinstein may indeed be a sacrificial lamb, cast out of the group as to divert attention away from these atrocities.
Rose McGowan, who worked with both Salva and Weinstein attempted to call attention to this problem on her Twitter account Wednesday, and for this, they suspended her account.
If this is their plan, we must not let them simply distract with one scapegoat or silence those who are calling them out, we need to keep pushing this issue and wake up more people to this elite group of people who prey on innocence.
It is also important to note that this problem is not just in Hollywood either. It is in Washington as well — up to and including the current Trump administration.
Please share this article with your friends and family so that they may see the dark nature of Hollywood’s elite.

By Jon Rappoport
Paul Watson at infowars has the story:
"Workers at the Route 91 festival during which Stephen Paddock unleashed his massacre have reportedly been given back their phones and laptops by the FBI only to discover that all messages and videos from the night of the attack have been wiped clean."
"According to a Las Vegas resident who posted a status update on Facebook, 'A bunch of people that worked the Route 91 [concert] said they got their cell phones back today. They all said that all their phones are completely wiped clean! All messages and info from that weekend are completely gone. Anyone else experience this'?"
"'A few different people who were vendors there are all saying the same thing,' the woman later comments."
"Later in the thread, a Route 91 worker confirms the story, commenting, 'Of course. It's an active federal crime scene. They can wipe it clean. I was the beverage manager for the entire event. My laptop is wiped clean'."
What?
First of all, in a recent article, I demonstrated in detail why you can never trust what the FBI says about evidence in any investigation. There is a notorious history of the Bureau cooking and slanting and inventing data to support prosecutions.
Second, who says the FBI can take people's phones and laptops, watch and copy the video footage, and then wipe it all away before returning the devices to their owners?
The FBI literally owns the crime scene AND any record of what happened at that scene? Baloney.
The obvious reason for wiping out the footage: it contained evidence that contradicts the official scenario. And most likely, that evidence revealed multiple shooters.
As Vegas cops, the FBI, and the owners of the Mandalay Hotel have changed and massaged the official narrative, one assertion has remained constant: there was only one shooter, and he was Stephen Paddock.
Law-enforcement pounced on that claim early on, without the slightest justification. Without interviewing multiple witnesses who state they saw other shooters.
"Okay, the mass shooting happened yesterday and we know there was only one shooter. That's it. Don't ask us any questions about this. Anyone who disagrees with us is spreading rumors and impeding the investigation."
Admitting multiple shooters is admitting there was cooperation, collusion, conspiracy, a plan, and a purpose for that plan beyond "the lone gunman was crazy." This is the door law-enforcement keeps slamming shut every time it opens.
And now we have reports that the FBI has wiped witnesses' phones and laptops. No more footage of the shooting. No more evidence.
Let's be clear: the FBI is impeding the investigation.
There is no Constitutional rule that states private citizens can't investigate crimes. There never was. There never will be.
Law enforcement doesn't OWN investigations.
If they did, every time a journalist probes beneath the surface of a crime and uncovers important information, the FBI could say, "Well, we just opened an investigation of that very crime, and therefore we want all your notes and we want you to cease and desist your inquiry. Shut up and go cover Sunday picnics."
In most cases, law-enforcement doesn't have to worry about mainstream reporters. Those denizens simply take dictation from local cops and federal cops and their stories appear in papers and TV news broadcasts wiped clean of independent thought.
That leaves the truth a wide open field.
Private citizens and non-mainstream journalists own that field, not through edict, but through default. Don't blame us. If you were doing your jobs, we wouldn't have to do them for you.
Your first rule would be: stop lying.
Destruction of evidence is a felony. Those concert workers whose phones and laptops were wiped clean had a felony committed against them. By agents of government who have sworn to uphold and protect the Constitution.
Thousands of smart lawyers out there will say, "Come on, there's no way you could make a charge like that stick." Well, maybe there would be a way, if enough of you decided there has been enough destruction of the Constitution and it's time to stand up and be counted, come hell or high water.
Meanwhile, whoever can look past the lies and fabrications and distortions of a criminal investigation can say something because they saw something.
Here is a quick excerpt from my recent piece about the FBI's stance on crime probes. It should give you a clue about the Bureau's attitude and reputation:
April 20, 2015, The Atlantic: "...the Washington Post made clear Saturday in an article that begins with a punch to the gut... 'Nearly every examiner in an elite FBI forensic unit gave flawed testimony in almost all trials in which they offered evidence against criminal defendants over more than a two-decade period before 2000,' the newspaper reported, adding that 'the cases include those of 32 defendants sentenced to death'."
In the Vegas shooting case, the FBI is saying: Trust us. We're the pros. We do investigations the right way. Now give us your cell phone so we can look at video footage of the shooting and make a copy and wipe your phone clean and give it back to you.
Don't worry, be happy. All is well. The centurions are on duty.
