TNT CONFERENCE CALL WEDNESDAY 10/25/17 DC NY CALL RECAP:
Good afternoon TNT Superfantastic Family. Today is Wednesday Hump Day. As the text went out and said no new Intel just Iraqi Politics and you get enough of that everywhere else. Somethings we can chat about by what of an update. I will tell you far as expectation wise, information come to me says some little issue with the banks that are being resolved or got resolved.. I'm not sure which one, but the bottom line is there is an expectation for later this week that things could be popping out with some rates and exchanges. We will see and I am receiving information saying that Reno is ready. We have had that before but they don''t know. I probably shouldn't tell it but I will tell it anyway. We have our own recon man from Reno, and everytime we hear something he checks it out. When he comes back he says stand down Ray. We chill out and wait for something else. Recon man if you are not listening, I will tell you later. They are saying Reno is ready. Keep your eyes and hears open and if something breaks I know you will be the first to let me know that is going down in Reno town. Now Iraq wise, we know the Kurds are chilling out on the Referendum thing, and for those that didn't get it standing down and conceding on the whole thing. We are back to looking at the 140 and making sure everything is acceptable to the, which more likely it will be. I cannot project the future. Now as far as Abadi, I think the biggest thing most folks are repeating is the statement he made on his press conferenence that Iraq is ready to take its leading role in the region and the world. I am sure folks would debate how could you take the leading role when you have the poorest currency. That goes without saying doesn't it? There was also some comment from some leading economists from that area about the upcoming change in the value, so they still talk about change in the value. That lets us know that it is still coming. Stop talking about it and one of two things is going to take place. The value will have changed or they are not going to do it at all. Then we won't be hearing anymore conversations coming from their leaders, economists, military. politicians or citizens in reference to the change in the value of the currency, but till that happens it is all good. No over here US wise, the only developments I have seen so far are some banks coming on board saying dinar oh yeah we are doing it. The rate still stinks, but the key thing is saying we will deal with it. Where before they were saying, we are not touching it with a 10 foot pole. Now the mentality is sure there is nothing wrong with it. They will exchange it. That's pretty neat, but we are not surprised because we knew that was going to happen anyway as we had been informing you all. Some of the banks were saying no with one day say yest , and we are at 60 plus that at one time said no. We are not touching it. It's black listed, and it is this its that . Everything possibly negative they said it to some of us back then. These 60 now are saying Dinar sure not even apologetic saying we have it. How much do you want to exchange like it is nothing and everyday business? I remember telling folks this is how it is going to be. It is just not full scale yet. 60 banks are better than none. All we are doing now is just waiting for the rate to appreciate, and then we spring into action with our various strategies. Q and A: Q: Sandman back in July I relayed info from a currency trader that we would have to wait to October to see the RV. Your comment at the time is we wouldn't have to wait that long. Some believe we may have to wait till 2018. What is your timeframe? Ray: Select individuals say it is going to happen and look for it to happen plus I had something on my side of the equation that your John Doe did not have, and that was a full belief in those that have experienced a change in the value of this currency.Because I had the belief know it was real, it was just a matter of time before it becomes real for the rest of us. It is just a waiting process and still don't know how long Q: A few calls ago someone asked if there was a bank in Germany and you said you would find out. Ray: I have not heard back from the source that could give me that answer. Callers: Caller: Catnip: If I may I would like to go back to a question from Monday's call about Abadi showing up and making a speech and I asked about the bleachers being set up for the Saturday weekend if they were still standing. Were you able to find out. Ray: I did not get a response back from that and will have to submit it again. Catnip: About your comment of boring Iraq politics and intertwining of Secretary of State Tillerson saying that Mnuchin was there. Ray: I have not heard if he was there. There was no refererence to those visits. Catnip: How far ahead of schedule have we gotten? Ray: Well I am going to say at least 2 weeks ahead of schedule . They are waiting for command to move troops forward. It is an orchestrated situation and a process of a living fluid situation. You have to improvise during the way. Catnip: Iraqi airforce are dumping pamplets to get out surrender or die. Caller: Kurds freeze independence as per dialogue with cease fire. Ray: Now that is out of the way. When that is done removal of restiction of exchanging the currency in the MCP. Looking for things to be said and take place. Looks like full liberation was the front runner and country is now in full unison. We had the skirmish for a couple of weeks for the referendum and that is put off. Caller: I said Kurds cease independence. Ray: Now bring home the national reconciliation, full economic reforms, cancellation of the MCP and the removal of restrictions for exchanges. The we are done unless there is something else that I am not aware of. Caller: Do you thing more than one currency will revalue? Ray: I hope only one at a time. and days between each one. I believe a few will go at the same time. Caller: Artie: What was the last info on the Zim That it could possibly be .0002 with no zeros removed or .11 cents with 6 zeros removed. Caller: Will there be additional calls after the RV itself? Ray: Yes. Ray's Wrap Up: We are halfway there ladies and gents and halfway through the week that is. It is hump day and we still patiently still await to see what happens when it happens, and then how long is it going to happen. Those are the questions I am seeking answers for. When we learn those answers to the questions, we won't hesitate to share them with you especially the how long is it going to happen. That is where the best strategies will have to be implemented when we have that type of information, so we patiently wait. If something else happens today we will be Johnny of the Spot to send out an update, text message whatever the case may be. If it doesn't happen today, we will look for it tomorrow. If not tomorrow we will look for it on Friday. We will be here Friday to talk about either it happened or it didn't. We plan to have some type of conversation on Friday, so enjoy the Hump Day middle of the week and go out and have some fun. I am not expectanting anything major but then again you never know!I Believe I really do! How about you? It is already done! Rayren 98

Tips to keep in mind when selling a home:
Ownership and Use. To claim the exclusion, the homeowner must meet the ownership and use tests. This means that during the five-year period ending on the date of the sale, the homeowner must have:
- Owned the home for at least two years
- Lived in the home as their main home for at least two years
Gain. If there is a gain from the sale of their main home, the homeowner may be able to exclude up to $250,000 of the gain from income or $500,000 on a joint return in most cases. Homeowners who can exclude all of the gain do not need to report the sale on their tax return.
Loss. A main home that sells for lower than purchased is not deductible.
Reporting a Sale. Reporting the sale of a home on a tax return is required if all or part of the gain is not excludable. A sale must also be reported on a tax return if the taxpayer chooses not to claim the exclusion or receives a Form 1099-S, Proceeds from Real Estate Transactions.
Possible Exceptions. There are exceptions to the rules above for persons with a disability, certain members of the military, intelligence community and Peace Corps workers, among others.
Items to Keep In Mind:
- Taxpayers who own more than one home can only exclude the gain on the sale of their main home. Taxes must paid on the gain from selling any other home.
- Work-related moving expenses might be deductible.
- Taxpayers moving after the sale of their home should update their address with the IRS and the U.S. Postal Service by filing Form 8822, Change of Address.
- Taxpayers who purchased health coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace should notify the Marketplace when moving out of the area covered by the current Marketplace plan.

In Iraq, the Kurds are standing down on the referendum issue, conceding and looking back at Article 140. More than likely that will be acceptable to them. As for Abadi, he made a statement that Iraq is ready to take a leading role in the region and in the world. For most, that implies a change in the currency. Economists are also talking about an upcoming change in the value. In the US, the banks are now saying, “Dinar? We’ll deal with it”, rather than the previous position of not touching it with a ten-foot pole. We’re halfway through the week, and we still patiently await what happens.
10-25-2017 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Important note regarding OPEC: This organization doesn't have any direct say in where the CBI sets their auction/trading prices, nor do they have any direct impact on the HCL. HOWEVER... there are already OPEC members looking to wrap up the oil production limits, while others are posturing as if they want to extend it to the end of 2018 or longer. As you might suspect, the wealthier and more financially stable countries are in favor of extending and the little guys are hoping for a quick end to it. Iraq is basically the silent little person in the corner, watching and biding their comments. If they do something before November 7, it will change the "World Oil Outlook". If they don't, then I think the outcome of the upcoming OPEC meeting will give us some serious clues as to what will happen next. Hopefully the OPEC thoughts are some good food for thought, and with any other (better) luck, hopefully we won't even have time to ponder it too long before an HCL sneaks up on us. [post 2 of 2]
10-25-2017 Newshound Guru Adam Montana There is a current agreement amongst a majority of OPEC participating countries designed to control the oil market in the supposed interest of keeping the global economy. I'm not presenting a specific conspiracy theory on that thought, I'm just saying "supposed" because there's always some kind of backdoor deal or subterfuge going on with anything related to politicians! That's also not to say that the current OPEC agreement is a bad thing. I feel like it was a good move on many levels, but let's move on. The current OPEC agreement - and keep in mind, this is a sort of informal, kind of semi-official, non-binding-to-Iraq, completely-beneficial-to-Iraq - yes, that OPEC agreement continues to run a course very attractive to Iraq's interests. Bottom line - Iraq's still sitting pretty in it's ability to potentially skirt the current production limitations and they wouldn't even feel the need to apologize for getting a nice break. Important date regarding the OPEC agreement: November 7, Vienna Austria. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Well you have debts you’re going to want to pay off…you’re going to have certain expenses…Legal and accounting expenses that are going to be coming up in the future. Some plans that are going to require some money…so all of those things need to be taken care of. Only cash in enough to take care of that to meet your immediate needs. Next, get your house taken care of. Pay off your mortgage…your cars. All the debts you have hanging on your shoulders, pay them off. Is there going to be a taxable event? Of course there is obviously and you’re going to calculate whatever your taxes are…this is where you also have a conversation with your tax professional. Because when it comes to fruition they ARE going to listen to you. Because money always talks…so take care of those things first.

: Dinar Update Wednesday
a
Summary: It is hump day today, and I expect further exchanges to be done a little bit later this week.
Bruce gave a very brief intel report last night, and other intel providers have already come on board saying that what Bruce provided was in line with their own information, so I will post Bruce’s full Intel section here.
Trump may have passed the Gold Backing legislation. He was at the Texas Gold depository today.
Sam Oliver: The above article is telling us that Iraq is much further along than the media shares with us. No surprise. It is telling us further that they are ready to begin an open market.
What does this really mean? It means that Iraq was ready for International engagement weeks ago, if not, months.
I am on Forex with a platform in Bitcoin. I can see huge shifts entering the market now. Bitcoin has really shook things up to the point that Christine Lagarde has warned Central Banks about it's influence. She also is have the IMF come out with their own coin called the IMFCoin. It will replace the dollar and give power back to the IMF. Maybe currency wars will be minimized through this effort.
I do have access on all the currencies through Forex. I will be able to tell you when this this starts or about to start.
Right now, there are a lot of pings on Forex to the major currencies we hold.https://www.
Tank: Trump was here and I believe this was our Gold Backed announcement in typical covert fashion. The article is old but I understand that Trump was there today for that

Do you see a change in the financial system taking place? It's in process. It will take some time, but the dollar will be replaced. It might not be a bad idea to store some Yuan after the RV.
Ray's CC Cliff Notes, Wed., Oct 25, 2017
Ray: Text said no new intel, just politics. I don't try to keep up with all those politics . . .you get it everywhere else.
Expectations wise information coming to me says there are little issues with the bank that are either being resolved or got resolved. Expectations this week for exchanges. Heard Reno is ready. We have our own recon man for Reno. Every time we hear something about Reno he checks it out. Recon man is saying Reno is ready. He'll be the first to let me know
Kurd's chilling out . . . standing down . . . conceding on that whole referendum issue. Back to looking at Article 140 that everything is acceptable to them.
Abadi made statement on Iraq being ready to take it's leading role in the region and the world. Folks would argue how do you take the leading role when you have the worlds poorest currency. . .still talk about change in the value.
When they stop talking about it - the value will have changed. Until that happens it's all good.
USA: The only development is more banks coming on board (for exchanging dinar). Now the mentality is, 'sure nothing wrong with it.' They will exchange. . . we are at 60 plus now.
. . .All we are doing now is waiting for the rates to appreciate.
CURRENT WINDOW: Ray: I am still looking at this week. . .Is that a guarantee? No. Cards loaded here in US and other countries in the $3 something range.
Statement
We’re halfway through the week, and we still patiently await what happens. When we learn the answers to those questions, we won’t hesitate to share them with you – especially how long it will happen because that’s when the best strategies come in. We’ll have some kind of call on Friday, and until then, I’ll send out anything vital.

We have heard the language been put to me we are in a highly sensitive area right now. How do we take that? I try to give you what I am getting with no added fluff. I tell you the truth. I never exaggerate I am getting. Tonight is no exception.
Bruce: In Iraq Prime Minister Abadi had made an announcement on Sunday or Saturday that was picked up and recorded. People read about his speech. The language in it was very positive about economic reforms moving forward. The idea of the restoration of Iraq. The belief was that it was what was needed to be said by Prime Minister Abadi to move Iraq forward and release everything in terms of the blessing. That was done.

Bruce: They are still in the midst of their Baghdad International Conference celebration. That started Saturday at 10am Baghdad time with parading of their huge flag. It took 468 people to carry it. It weighed just over a ton. It was taken to a side of the building and two cranes took it, lifted it up and installed it to be on the side of the building. It would fill up most of a football field. That was installed on Saturday.
That International aspect of that conference is continuing. They sold booth space to people that wanted to exhibit and sell things. They had tables and provided a phone line, an internet connection, and electricity for 75 dinar. That doesn’t sound a lot until you realize when it compares to the new in country rate of the dinar that we cannot talk about. It turned into real money. It was a reasonable price to pay but it wasn’t cheap to get that.
Bruce: Everything we have heard is very positive where we are right now with all the currencies coming together, and with all countries coming to together in agreement. With the timing of this coming very close and rather sensitive, I am going to really pretty much leave it at that.
Bruce: I am supposed to get a toll free number and be honored to do that. When I do receive it, I will be able to put that number on our websites: thebigcall.net and bigcalluniverse.com. Also I am going to email anybody who wants the toll free number who emailed to them frombigcalluniverse.com.
If you haven’t registered, feel free to do that, and we will forward you that number to you in an email blast. We can’t capture that on our website thebigcall.net, but you can go there and see the toll free number on the landing page and get it that way as well. Then you call, set your appointment and ready to go either way.
Bruce: Other than that, I can just tell you we really thought we were there even last night. Things happened that didn’t allow it. Those things have been handled and it is moving forward. We are in a great place for our blessing to come through.
Stay tuned and see what it is going to look like. The big call is going to take a month or so time off to get some things done. We will get our pod cast together and see how we want to do that and be in touch with you with our new website: bigcalluniverse.com.
We have a couple of other sites held to do our Veteran Retreat Network and Rebuild America concept, as well as some other projects. Those are the two big projects though that we were going to do.

I think more truth coming forward, and we will get further disclosures about technology, about space travel, etc. that we have wondered about probably start coming out. Be ready for that new paradigm as we move into that.
Bruce: Everybody enjoy the experience of the exchange. Take some time to enjoy it. Don’t rush through it where you don’t appreciate it. Enjoy the time. Be sober minded. Don’t over celebrate things and get crazy. This is serious: keep all your information private to yourself. Don’t start bragging and buying everybody drinks in the bar.
This is serious stuff. Keep quiet whether you sign an NDA or not, just realize this is nobody’s business but yours or yours and your family’s. If you have kids or grandkids, keep it as private as you can because you don’t need things leaking out to put you or your family in any jeopardy.
Make your changes subtle like buying a new car or moving, etc. just be careful how you do things. Don’t draw attention to yourself. We will have more information with our pod casts about that. We will do interviews and other cool stuff in the future.
Bruce: Enjoy a great night’s sleep, and I am to cut the call. Thank you Big Call Universe for tuning in, and all the bank personnel for your help. Thank you to my team Sue, Bob, Pastor Steven and Kent. Talk to you soon. Thank you. Good night Everybody.

Global Chemtrail Summit High Technology now makes it possible to monitor all of us and change the weather, monitor space junk in orbit for launching satellites and undreamed of control of our environment. A multimedia presentation. The following quote is from the writeup on her book.... Chemtrails Haarp & The Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth
We are entering a Space Age, but not the kind President Kennedy originally envisioned. This Space Age is replacing resource wars and redefines planet earth as a "battlespace" in accordance with the military doctrine of "Full-Spectrum Dominance."
This book examines how chemtrails and ionospheric heaters like the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) in Alaska service a full-spectrum dominance. This "Revolution in Military Affairs" needs an atmospheric medium to assure wireless access to the bodies and brains of anyone on Earth—from heat-seeking missiles to a form of mind control.
How sinister are these technologies? Are we being prepared for a "global village" lockdown? The recent release of NSA records have reminded Americans that "eyes in the sky" are tracking us as supercomputers record the phone calls, e-mails, internet posts, and even the brain frequencies of millions.
Elana M. Freeland's startling book sifts through the confusion surrounding chemtrails-versus-contrails and how extreme weather is being "geo-engineered" to enrich disaster capitalists and intimidate nations.
A deconstruction of Bernard J. Eastlund's HAARP patent points to other covert agendas, such as a global Smart Grid infrastructure that enables access to every body and brain on Earth, a "Transhumanist" future that erases lines between human and machine, and Nanobiological hybrids armed with microprocessers that infest and harm human bodies.

Prime Minister Dr. Haidar al-Abadi during his meeting with Jahangiri: Relations between our two countries serve security and stability, and development in the region should be replaced by disputes.
26 - October - 2017
Prime Minister Dr. Haidar al-Abadi stressed during the joint official talks that the strengthening of relations between Iraq and Iran is important not only for us but for the whole region, its security, stability and prosperity. We call for cooperation and mutual interest to serve our peoples and end the interventions that led to more destruction, victims and displaced people. Development is an alternative to disputes and conflicts between the countries of the region and the waste of wealth and energy, and we must invest the energy of young people who are trying to attract terrorist gangs.
Dr. Haider al-Abadi praised the courage of the Iraqis and their sacrifice to sacrifice in defense of their homeland.
On liberation operations, he said: "Today began the process of liberating the last bastions and urging our forces to extend their hand to the citizens.
He added: "We rejected the idea of absorbing the Daash and decided to eliminate it because its survival is a danger to all.
He also stressed that the referendum was held at a time when we are fighting a war against Dahesh and after we unite to fight the preacher, and warned of his actions but to no avail. We did not consider our constitutional procedures to extend the federal authority but a victory for all Iraqis. Our strategy is to subjugate these areas to the authority of the state. Only to cancel the referendum and abide by the Constitution.
For his part, Iranian Vice President Mr. Ishaq Jahangiri welcomed the development of relations between the two countries and said: "We congratulate you on the victories achieved by the Iraqi forces to liberate the cities from Da'sh. It was a great work under your leadership. We also congratulate you on your success in preserving Iraq's unity and sovereignty. He also expressed admiration for the Iraqi army and people's rush to protect their homeland and fight terrorism and win it.
The ministers discussed the two main issues on the agenda related to oil, energy, water, trade, tourism and others.

Dear sons of our people
Here are the legions of heroism and redemption creeping to eliminate the last bastion of terrorism in Iraq to liberate Al-Qaim, Rawa, villages and towns in western Anbar, all of which will return to the homeland with determination and steadfastness of our heroic fighters.

We repeat what we have said before that our battles have become a cornerstone for victory and a defeat for the poor.
It is not in the face of death except death or surrender.
We will continue with determination, ability and confidence in God Almighty to achieve victories in all fields for the people of our giving.

Prime Minister Dr. Haider Abadi met in Ankara today with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, where he held a bilateral meeting and headed for the joint talks session in the presence of the two delegations.

Scarcity of Croissants causes headaches for the French government !!
2017/10/26 10:31
[In-follow]
Some large French croissants have been shelved, while prices have risen in other places, causing a headache for the government, which is trying to improve conditions to make the food chain better for farmers.
The deficit came as a result of the decline in milk production and the increase in the demand for butter in the world, as consumer demand increased.
In France, rising prices and a decline in dairy supplies have put pressure on producers and food companies, some stopping deliveries, while other companies are considering putting high costs on retailers and traders.
Bakers struggled to keep butter prices up to double last year to record levels above € 6 per kilo [$ 7.05]. Butter accounts for about a quarter of the croissant.
Samir Kisho, who has a traditional bakery in Paris, told Reuters he had not yet raised prices because of high butter prices, but he might soon have to.
"With the end of the year and preparations for Christmas, especially the Gallet de Roa dessert, which requires a lot of butter, and if there is not a big drop we will have to raise the price," he said.
The shortage has appeared on the shelves of butter in some supermarkets in the capital, and other parts of France and some shops have hung signs announcing a shortage of some species.
Dairy farmers complain that they do not benefit much from the rise in butter prices in the market and say their money is mostly linked to cheaper milk and milk prices.
Problems of under-supply of butter highlight challenges facing President Emmanuel Macaron's government to meet a pledge made during the election to change practices in the food chain so farmers can get better deals.
Agriculture Minister Stephan Traver played down the possibility of a sharp deficit and told parliament on Tuesday that retailers and suppliers must agree to adjust prices for continued deliveries.
