A prime directive from Alpha Command emanated midnight Wednesday in Beijing.
Handpicked military command generals from all nations were alerted and ordered to have assets ready for full engagement and deployed in 12 hours, which would have been around 11am Tuesday in the United States.
The GESARA release protocol goes as follows for every nation’s elected leader per their own constitution:
Alpha - Standby
Beta - Received
Alpha/Alpha - Engage
Beta/Beta - Conquer
This same protocol is then followed at all participating military bases, call centers and off-site redemption locations by all central commands ultimately responding with the same “beta/beta - conquer.”
Once all redeeming nation’s leaders and the armed forces commanders return in the beta/beta affirmative, global consensus has been achieved, and then Marshall’s are then notified to prepare for the delivery of Matrix Funds Packages, Prosperity Packages and Farmer’s Claims Packages.
Final activation however rests still in Beijing. We believe this is an honorary gesture given to the architect(s) of the GCR/RV master plan. No different than a ribbon cutting.
Once released in China, the much heralded 800#s spit out globally to authorized legal touch points, banking sources and chosen internet providers and/or pre-selected civilians for disbursal.
Redemptions are set to begin immediately upon achievement of all master plan criteria met as to ensure the safe and sustainable release of prosperous and peaceful future for mankind and planet earth.
When this event actually happens is still unknown. There’s is no firm performance window per se regardless of reports. There’s a timelessness to the release design. All go or none go.
Whenever China believes we’re ready to launch as a family of nations, we go. Not before, not after. Perfect timing.
All is well.

The petro yuan is gold backed. It will also change the financial system. In fact, the financial system was changed last March when Trump signed an Executive Order to level off the currencies. Any new system takes around 8 months to complete it's cycle. We are now at that point for an any moment venture.Venezuela… needs money bad. They are going to back their currency soon with their gold, oil, diamonds, etc... Asset backed currency tells us something here. It means what we want to see in the rest of the countries and there are many. We want to see them follow. When it does, a domino effect could happen all over the world to change the financial system.

BREAKING: Julian Assange Granted Ecuadorian Passport - Reports
Here is an article about stem cells. I do not know if what is being said in this video series is true, but I think many of you will be interested. As a former stem cell researcher, who has had his laboratory broken up by Cabal police and his partners arrested, I know that the Cabal does not want us to have this technology. Still, caveat emptor—do your own due diligence.—dle
The Truth About Stem Cells
…the simple solution to your pain was already here… already available?
…the cure for what will someday surely kill you is already available, already in… you.
…the “fountain of youth” was REAL? (ok, not the fountain of youth, but at least a few drops from it….)
What if your own government has been actively conspiring to keep this from you…
An extremely important documentary is going live on January 16th. It concerns a powerful self-healing mechanism within the human body that the government is actively blocking you from accessing.
Film-maker Jeff Hays (who brought you the film BOUGHT) and his investigative team have been digging into the truth about what is really going on with one of the most searched and shared subjects on the internet…. STEM CELLS.
The Healing Miracle: The Truth About Stem Cells will broadcast the docu-series event for 9 days only.
From Tuesday, January 16th through the 24th, and you can watch the whole thing for FREE.
These fascinating microscopic miracles called stem cells (manufactured by your own body) turn out to be the biggest medical breakthrough in decades. They have been shown in clinical trials to end some of the deadliest of diseases without the staggering side effects of other drugs and therapies.
So, why is the FDA and local governments working against the release of stem cell therapy – keeping you from utilizing your very own stem cells to get well?
And… how can you get the real, full story?

THIS POST PUTS ONTO PERSPECIVE WHAT ZIM IS WORTH IN RELATION TO LIVING TODAY.
100 Trilltion U.S. Dollars? Why?" by Michael Murdock - 1.10.18
Entry Submitted by Michael Murdock at 3:45 PM EST on January 10, 2018
Happy Wednesday IDC! -
Are you in Dinarland to make billions of trillions of dollars so you can buy many toys and not help humanity? Or are you in this to create a smooth transition for many people, many places, many things while still ensuring that you are living with a roof over your head, transportation to carry you to different places, and money to be able to buy food, clothes, etc when you need them?
Just checking. Why? Because I have been seeing some things that raise questions around why people are doing things.
Many of these questions arise from reading things posted by those who post dates, post rates, post requirements to exchange, etc. Some have 3 letters in their names, others have more.
When I speak with people and they tell me they have 100 100T ZIM notes and they must have them all exchanged at a particular rate so that they have enough money to last them a lifetime. That’s ALL for them, not for any projects or anything else. What’s funny is that 1 100T Note will last 1 person 10 lifetimes easily at a level of comfort they’d never need anything else.
How can I say that? because the average person living and not doing anything weird in their lives goes for around 85-87 years old, and many people never even spend a million dollars in their lifetime, much less a billion dollars, much less 999 billion, much less 999 billion plus 1 dollar or 1,000 Billion which is 1 Trillion.
Here’s some information you might find handy regarding a TRILLION dollars. It might help you realize that giving is a lot of fun:
How much is a trillion dollars?
Million, billion, trillion … all big numbers. A trillion is just a bigger number, right? True … but it may be bigger than you think. A million is hard enough to imagine, much less a billion. We need some perspective on what these unimaginable numbers really mean.
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Numbers
We’ll start simple: how big is a trillion on paper?
1,000 = one thousand
1,000,000 = one million
1,000,000,000 = one billion
1,000,000,000,000 = one trillion
A million is equal to a thousand thousands (1,000 x 1,000).
A billion is equal to a thousand millions (1,000 x 1,000,000).
A trillion is equal to a thousand billions (1,000 x 1,000,000,000)
or a million millions (1,000,000 x 1,000,000).
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Time
How Long Ago Is a Trillion Seconds?
If you count backward, then:
1 million seconds = 12 days ago
1 billion seconds = 31 years ago
1 trillion seconds = 30,000 B.C.
(give or take a decade or two)
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Height
How high is a trillion in $1000 bills?
If you stack a trillion-worth of $1000 bills together, then:
1 million dollars = 4 inches high
1 billion dollars = 364 feet high
1 trillion dollars = 63 miles high
(give or take a foot or two)
Note that this is a STACK, not laid end-to-end.
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Money
With about 305,000,000 people and 111,000,000 households in the U.S.
$1 Million is 1¢ per household,
$1 Billion is $3.28 per person and $9 per household,
$1 Trillion is $3,280 per person and $9,000 per household
If a person’s salary is $40,000 per year it would take:
25 years to earn $1 Million
25 Thousand years to earn $1 Billion,
25 Million years to earn $1 Trillion
If you lived to be 80 years of age, to have:
$1 Million you would have to save $34 each day of your life,
$1 Billion you would have to save $34,000 each day of your life,
$1 Trillion you would have to save $34 Million each day of your life
Unless you’re going to buy every company in the stock market (while others are doing the same thing), you’re not going to spend a trillion dollars for your home(s), cars(s), plane(s), trip(s), cruise(s) etc because while you’re out spending, the money you’ve left in the bank (because you will leave it in the bank to have access to it) will gain interest. It will be multiplying in savings accounts, IRAs and other account types so that it is perpetual to carry on when you’re gone.
My suggestion, take it or leave it: Be Greedy! but be Greedy about sharing the abundance with others so they are able to accomplish so much more in this life. There are many out there who question the validity of the RV. Should it materialize they will not be in the position we are in. That’s when we have the opportunity to educate them in many new and exciting ways. Be Greedy about having that opportunity and then go forward helping others to realize their dreams so they know that life is meant to be lived, enjoyed and cherished.
People have asked me how much currency I have in my possession. I have no problem sharing what I have because that’s how I am. Open.
2 Million DONG, 1.5 Million RIAL, 200T, 500M ZIM, 100K DINAR
That’s what I have to exchange when the time comes for this all to be real. Do I expect to be able to have enough to live the rest of my life? Well…if the DINAR revalues at $3.55 I’ll be set for the next 5 years of time comfortably because of being in Arizona with a place to live, a replacement car and all debts paid, plus enough to eat out every day in a nice restaurant and at the end have more to spare because of investments.
If everything else gets to be exchanged at the same time at an awesome rate, then I can achieve my goal of helping many to level the playing fields in their lives, plus I can stop living in my car and make sure that there are no Veterans living on the streets in any places in this country.
I’m still trying to figure out what people are getting out of lawsuits, out of broadcasting rates that they have nothing to substantiate, out of dates that continue to be wrong, more wrong and even more wrong…but it could be any moment…any hour…any second…but it might not happen until 2020…do you notice a pattern in these things? I sure do!
Thanks for reading, I hope some of this was fun and other parts informative. God bless all who are inspired by this to give, gift, and to share along their path in this world.

A prime directive from Alpha Command emanated midnight Wednesday in Beijing.
Handpicked military command generals from all nations were alerted and ordered to have assets ready for full engagement and deployed in 12 hours, which would have been around 11am Tuesday in the United States.
The GESARA release protocol goes as follows for every nation’s elected leader per their own constitution:
Alpha - Standby
Beta - Received
Alpha/Alpha - Engage
Beta/Beta - Conquer
This same protocol is then followed at all participating military bases, call centers and off-site redemption locations by all central commands ultimately responding with the same “beta/beta - conquer.”
Once all redeeming nation’s leaders and the armed forces commanders return in the beta/beta affirmative, global consensus has been achieved, and then Marshall’s are then notified to prepare for the delivery of Matrix Funds Packages, Prosperity Packages and Farmer’s Claims Packages.
Final activation however rests still in Beijing. We believe this is an honorary gesture given to the architect(s) of the GCR/RV master plan. No different than a ribbon cutting.
Once released in China, the much heralded 800#s spit out globally to authorized legal touch points, banking sources and chosen internet providers and/or pre-selected civilians for disbursal.
Redemptions are set to begin immediately upon achievement of all master plan criteria met as to ensure the safe and sustainable release of prosperous and peaceful future for mankind and planet earth.
When this event actually happens is still unknown. There’s is no firm performance window per se regardless of reports. There’s a timelessness to the release design. All go or none go.
Whenever China believes we’re ready to launch as a family of nations, we go. Not before, not after. Perfect timing.
All is well.

FISHER INTEL IN HIS OWN TAKE NO PRISIONERS STYLE
I Have No Intention of Bursting Anyone's Balloon" by Fisher - 1.10.18
But recent intel says that the U.S. has every intention of taking the USN/USD into the realm of Basel 4 compliance, i.e., digital status, as of this coming Friday. "Codes" were entered Tuesday evening which started an alleged 72 hour "timer", after which the whole RV/GCR would kickoff for real and the 800 numbers could be released for distribution.
Just what I have been told, believe it or don't, makes no difference to me.

• Everything in the Middle East is awaiting signatures to sign contracts for the real value of the IQD to show
• Iraq is waiting on some kind of USN announcement-which could be an inner bank memo
• After midnight we received several reports that Reno had gone live
• We also heard European Bankers were putting serious pressure on Shanghai to release as quickly as possible-now that a good sign we might actually be there
• Allegedly the global launch began Tuesday morning at 11:00 AM EST and the 800# will come out 72 hours afterwards
• We can be sure 800#s will NOT come out at 11:00 AM tomorrow morning if for no other reason than they told us they would.
• If the numbers come out after 11:00 AM tomorrow it wouldn't surprise anyone, so there is a chance that we get lucky sometime today.

GCR/RV Intel SITREP - Thursday - 01:11:11 - 1.11.18
1/11/2018 02:06:00 AM Emailed, Intel, SITREP
Received via email at 1:01 AM EST and published with permission. ~ Dinar Chronicles
A prime directive from Alpha Command emanated midnight Wednesday in Beijing.
Handpicked military command generals from all nations were alerted and ordered to have assets ready for full engagement and deployed in 12 hours, which would have been around 11am Tuesday in the United States.
The GESARA release protocol goes as follows for every nation’s elected leader per their own constitution:
Alpha - Standby
Beta - Received
Alpha/Alpha - Engage
Beta/Beta - Conquer
[Hold a bit, folks. Can you REALLY envision a scenario in which a military force will arrange an order “Alpha/Alpha”, as opposed to just plain old “Alpha”? Proof here, that this is BOGUS!!!!-dle]
This same protocol is then followed at all participating military bases, call centers and off-site redemption locations by all central commands ultimately responding with the same “beta/beta - conquer.”
Once all redeeming nation’s leaders and the armed forces commanders return in the beta/beta affirmative, global consensus has been achieved, and then Marshall’s are then notified to prepare for the delivery of Matrix Funds Packages, Prosperity Packages and Farmer’s Claims Packages.
Final activation however rests still in Beijing. We believe this is an honorary gesture given to the architect(s) of the GCR/RV master plan. No different than a ribbon cutting.
Once released in China, the much heralded 800 #s spit out globally to authorized legal touch points, banking sources and chosen internet providers and/or pre-selected civilians for disbursal.
Redemptions are set to begin immediately upon achievement of all master plan criteria met as to ensure the safe and sustainable release of prosperous and peaceful future for mankind and planet earth.
When this event actually happens is still unknown. There’s is no firm performance window per se regardless of reports. There’s a timelessness to the release design. All go or none go.
Whenever China believes we’re ready to launch as a family of nations, we go. Not before, not after. Perfect timing.
All is well.

BREAKING: Julian Assange Granted Ecuadorian Passport - Reports
Here is an article about stem cells. I do not know if what is being said in this video series is true, but I think many of you will be interested. As a former stem cell researcher, who has had his laboratory broken up by Cabal police and his partners arrested, I know that the Cabal does not want us to have this technology. Still, caveat emptor—do your own due diligence.—dle
The Truth About Stem Cells
…the simple solution to your pain was already here… already available?
…the cure for what will someday surely kill you is already available, already in… you.
…the “fountain of youth” was REAL? (ok, not the fountain of youth, but at least a few drops from it….)
What if your own government has been actively conspiring to keep this from you…
An extremely important documentary is going live on January 16th. It concerns a powerful self-healing mechanism within the human body that the government is actively blocking you from accessing.
Film-maker Jeff Hays (who brought you the film BOUGHT) and his investigative team have been digging into the truth about what is really going on with one of the most searched and shared subjects on the internet…. STEM CELLS.
The Healing Miracle: The Truth About Stem Cells will broadcast the docu-series event for 9 days only.
From Tuesday, January 16th through the 24th, and you can watch the whole thing for FREE.
These fascinating microscopic miracles called stem cells (manufactured by your own body) turn out to be the biggest medical breakthrough in decades. They have been shown in clinical trials to end some of the deadliest of diseases without the staggering side effects of other drugs and therapies.
So, why is the FDA and local governments working against the release of stem cell therapy – keeping you from utilizing your very own stem cells to get well?
And… how can you get the real, full story?

THIS POST PUTS ONTO PERSPECIVE WHAT ZIM IS WORTH IN RELATION TO LIVING TODAY.
100 Trilltion U.S. Dollars? Why?" by Michael Murdock - 1.10.18
Entry Submitted by Michael Murdock at 3:45 PM EST on January 10, 2018
Happy Wednesday IDC! -
Are you in Dinarland to make billions of trillions of dollars so you can buy many toys and not help humanity? Or are you in this to create a smooth transition for many people, many places, many things while still ensuring that you are living with a roof over your head, transportation to carry you to different places, and money to be able to buy food, clothes, etc when you need them?
Just checking. Why? Because I have been seeing some things that raise questions around why people are doing things.
Many of these questions arise from reading things posted by those who post dates, post rates, post requirements to exchange, etc. Some have 3 letters in their names, others have more.
When I speak with people and they tell me they have 100 100T ZIM notes and they must have them all exchanged at a particular rate so that they have enough money to last them a lifetime. That’s ALL for them, not for any projects or anything else. What’s funny is that 1 100T Note will last 1 person 10 lifetimes easily at a level of comfort they’d never need anything else.
How can I say that? because the average person living and not doing anything weird in their lives goes for around 85-87 years old, and many people never even spend a million dollars in their lifetime, much less a billion dollars, much less 999 billion, much less 999 billion plus 1 dollar or 1,000 Billion which is 1 Trillion.
Here’s some information you might find handy regarding a TRILLION dollars. It might help you realize that giving is a lot of fun:
How much is a trillion dollars?
Million, billion, trillion … all big numbers. A trillion is just a bigger number, right? True … but it may be bigger than you think. A million is hard enough to imagine, much less a billion. We need some perspective on what these unimaginable numbers really mean.
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Numbers
We’ll start simple: how big is a trillion on paper?
1,000 = one thousand
1,000,000 = one million
1,000,000,000 = one billion
1,000,000,000,000 = one trillion
A million is equal to a thousand thousands (1,000 x 1,000).
A billion is equal to a thousand millions (1,000 x 1,000,000).
A trillion is equal to a thousand billions (1,000 x 1,000,000,000)
or a million millions (1,000,000 x 1,000,000).
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Time
How Long Ago Is a Trillion Seconds?
If you count backward, then:
1 million seconds = 12 days ago
1 billion seconds = 31 years ago
1 trillion seconds = 30,000 B.C.
(give or take a decade or two)
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Height
How high is a trillion in $1000 bills?
If you stack a trillion-worth of $1000 bills together, then:
1 million dollars = 4 inches high
1 billion dollars = 364 feet high
1 trillion dollars = 63 miles high
(give or take a foot or two)
Note that this is a STACK, not laid end-to-end.
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Money
With about 305,000,000 people and 111,000,000 households in the U.S.
$1 Million is 1¢ per household,
$1 Billion is $3.28 per person and $9 per household,
$1 Trillion is $3,280 per person and $9,000 per household
If a person’s salary is $40,000 per year it would take:
25 years to earn $1 Million
25 Thousand years to earn $1 Billion,
25 Million years to earn $1 Trillion
If you lived to be 80 years of age, to have:
$1 Million you would have to save $34 each day of your life,
$1 Billion you would have to save $34,000 each day of your life,
$1 Trillion you would have to save $34 Million each day of your life
Unless you’re going to buy every company in the stock market (while others are doing the same thing), you’re not going to spend a trillion dollars for your home(s), cars(s), plane(s), trip(s), cruise(s) etc because while you’re out spending, the money you’ve left in the bank (because you will leave it in the bank to have access to it) will gain interest. It will be multiplying in savings accounts, IRAs and other account types so that it is perpetual to carry on when you’re gone.
My suggestion, take it or leave it: Be Greedy! but be Greedy about sharing the abundance with others so they are able to accomplish so much more in this life. There are many out there who question the validity of the RV. Should it materialize they will not be in the position we are in. That’s when we have the opportunity to educate them in many new and exciting ways. Be Greedy about having that opportunity and then go forward helping others to realize their dreams so they know that life is meant to be lived, enjoyed and cherished.
People have asked me how much currency I have in my possession. I have no problem sharing what I have because that’s how I am. Open.
2 Million DONG, 1.5 Million RIAL, 200T, 500M ZIM, 100K DINAR
That’s what I have to exchange when the time comes for this all to be real. Do I expect to be able to have enough to live the rest of my life? Well…if the DINAR revalues at $3.55 I’ll be set for the next 5 years of time comfortably because of being in Arizona with a place to live, a replacement car and all debts paid, plus enough to eat out every day in a nice restaurant and at the end have more to spare because of investments.
If everything else gets to be exchanged at the same time at an awesome rate, then I can achieve my goal of helping many to level the playing fields in their lives, plus I can stop living in my car and make sure that there are no Veterans living on the streets in any places in this country.
I’m still trying to figure out what people are getting out of lawsuits, out of broadcasting rates that they have nothing to substantiate, out of dates that continue to be wrong, more wrong and even more wrong…but it could be any moment…any hour…any second…but it might not happen until 2020…do you notice a pattern in these things? I sure do!
Thanks for reading, I hope some of this was fun and other parts informative. God bless all who are inspired by this to give, gift, and to share along their path in this world.

An unconfirmed report earlier in the session indicated that China may be considering halting or slowing Treasury purchases, which had cast a pall on the market, driving prices lower and yields higher, as investors appeared to shun U.S. assets.

A prime directive from Alpha Command emanated midnight Wednesday in Beijing.
Handpicked military command generals from all nations were alerted and ordered to have assets ready for full engagement and deployed in 12 hours, which would have been around 11am Tuesday in the United States.
The GESARA release protocol goes as follows for every nation’s elected leader per their own constitution:
Alpha - Standby
Beta - Received
Alpha/Alpha - Engage
Beta/Beta - Conquer
This same protocol is then followed at all participating military bases, call centers and off-site redemption locations by all central commands ultimately responding with the same “beta/beta - conquer.”
Once all redeeming nation’s leaders and the armed forces commanders return in the beta/beta affirmative, global consensus has been achieved, and then Marshall’s are then notified to prepare for the delivery of Matrix Funds Packages, Prosperity Packages and Farmer’s Claims Packages.
Final activation however rests still in Beijing. We believe this is an honorary gesture given to the architect(s) of the GCR/RV master plan. No different than a ribbon cutting.
Once released in China, the much heralded 800#s spit out globally to authorized legal touch points, banking sources and chosen internet providers and/or pre-selected civilians for disbursal.
Redemptions are set to begin immediately upon achievement of all master plan criteria met as to ensure the safe and sustainable release of prosperous and peaceful future for mankind and planet earth.
When this event actually happens is still unknown. There’s is no firm performance window per se regardless of reports. There’s a timelessness to the release design. All go or none go.
Whenever China believes we’re ready to launch as a family of nations, we go. Not before, not after. Perfect timing.
All is well.

• Iraq is waiting on some kind of USN announcement-which could be an inner bank memo
• After midnight we received several reports that Reno had gone live
• We also heard European Bankers were putting serious pressure on Shanghai to release as quickly as possible-now that a good sign we might actually be there
• Allegedly the global launch began Tuesday morning at 11:00 AM EST and the 800# will come out 72 hours afterwards
• We can be sure 800#s will NOT come out at 11:00 AM tomorrow morning if for no other reason than they told us they would.
• If the numbers come out after 11:00 AM tomorrow it wouldn't surprise anyone, so there is a chance that we get lucky sometime today.

GCR/RV Intel SITREP - Thursday - 01:11:11 - 1.11.18
1/11/2018 02:06:00 AM Emailed, Intel, SITREP
Received via email at 1:01 AM EST and published with permission. ~ Dinar Chronicles
A prime directive from Alpha Command emanated midnight Wednesday in Beijing.
Handpicked military command generals from all nations were alerted and ordered to have assets ready for full engagement and deployed in 12 hours, which would have been around 11am Tuesday in the United States.
The GESARA release protocol goes as follows for every nation’s elected leader per their own constitution:
Alpha - Standby
Beta - Received
Alpha/Alpha - Engage
Beta/Beta - Conquer
[Hold a bit, folks. Can you REALLY envision a scenario in which a military force will arrange an order “Alpha/Alpha”, as opposed to just plain old “Alpha”? Proof here, that this is BOGUS!!!!-dle]
This same protocol is then followed at all participating military bases, call centers and off-site redemption locations by all central commands ultimately responding with the same “beta/beta - conquer.”
Once all redeeming nation’s leaders and the armed forces commanders return in the beta/beta affirmative, global consensus has been achieved, and then Marshall’s are then notified to prepare for the delivery of Matrix Funds Packages, Prosperity Packages and Farmer’s Claims Packages.
Final activation however rests still in Beijing. We believe this is an honorary gesture given to the architect(s) of the GCR/RV master plan. No different than a ribbon cutting.
Once released in China, the much heralded 800 #s spit out globally to authorized legal touch points, banking sources and chosen internet providers and/or pre-selected civilians for disbursal.
Redemptions are set to begin immediately upon achievement of all master plan criteria met as to ensure the safe and sustainable release of prosperous and peaceful future for mankind and planet earth.
When this event actually happens is still unknown. There’s is no firm performance window per se regardless of reports. There’s a timelessness to the release design. All go or none go.
Whenever China believes we’re ready to launch as a family of nations, we go. Not before, not after. Perfect timing.
All is well.

BREAKING: Julian Assange Granted Ecuadorian Passport - Reports
Here is an article about stem cells. I do not know if what is being said in this video series is true, but I think many of you will be interested. As a former stem cell researcher, who has had his laboratory broken up by Cabal police and his partners arrested, I know that the Cabal does not want us to have this technology. Still, caveat emptor—do your own due diligence.—dle
The Truth About Stem Cells
…the simple solution to your pain was already here… already available?
…the cure for what will someday surely kill you is already available, already in… you.
…the “fountain of youth” was REAL? (ok, not the fountain of youth, but at least a few drops from it….)
What if your own government has been actively conspiring to keep this from you…
An extremely important documentary is going live on January 16th. It concerns a powerful self-healing mechanism within the human body that the government is actively blocking you from accessing.
Film-maker Jeff Hays (who brought you the film BOUGHT) and his investigative team have been digging into the truth about what is really going on with one of the most searched and shared subjects on the internet…. STEM CELLS.
The Healing Miracle: The Truth About Stem Cells will broadcast the docu-series event for 9 days only.
From Tuesday, January 16th through the 24th, and you can watch the whole thing for FREE.
These fascinating microscopic miracles called stem cells (manufactured by your own body) turn out to be the biggest medical breakthrough in decades. They have been shown in clinical trials to end some of the deadliest of diseases without the staggering side effects of other drugs and therapies.
So, why is the FDA and local governments working against the release of stem cell therapy – keeping you from utilizing your very own stem cells to get well?
And… how can you get the real, full story?

THIS POST PUTS ONTO PERSPECIVE WHAT ZIM IS WORTH IN RELATION TO LIVING TODAY.
100 Trilltion U.S. Dollars? Why?" by Michael Murdock - 1.10.18
Entry Submitted by Michael Murdock at 3:45 PM EST on January 10, 2018
Happy Wednesday IDC! -
Are you in Dinarland to make billions of trillions of dollars so you can buy many toys and not help humanity? Or are you in this to create a smooth transition for many people, many places, many things while still ensuring that you are living with a roof over your head, transportation to carry you to different places, and money to be able to buy food, clothes, etc when you need them?
Just checking. Why? Because I have been seeing some things that raise questions around why people are doing things.
Many of these questions arise from reading things posted by those who post dates, post rates, post requirements to exchange, etc. Some have 3 letters in their names, others have more.
When I speak with people and they tell me they have 100 100T ZIM notes and they must have them all exchanged at a particular rate so that they have enough money to last them a lifetime. That’s ALL for them, not for any projects or anything else. What’s funny is that 1 100T Note will last 1 person 10 lifetimes easily at a level of comfort they’d never need anything else.
How can I say that? because the average person living and not doing anything weird in their lives goes for around 85-87 years old, and many people never even spend a million dollars in their lifetime, much less a billion dollars, much less 999 billion, much less 999 billion plus 1 dollar or 1,000 Billion which is 1 Trillion.
Here’s some information you might find handy regarding a TRILLION dollars. It might help you realize that giving is a lot of fun:
How much is a trillion dollars?
Million, billion, trillion … all big numbers. A trillion is just a bigger number, right? True … but it may be bigger than you think. A million is hard enough to imagine, much less a billion. We need some perspective on what these unimaginable numbers really mean.
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Numbers
We’ll start simple: how big is a trillion on paper?
1,000 = one thousand
1,000,000 = one million
1,000,000,000 = one billion
1,000,000,000,000 = one trillion
A million is equal to a thousand thousands (1,000 x 1,000).
A billion is equal to a thousand millions (1,000 x 1,000,000).
A trillion is equal to a thousand billions (1,000 x 1,000,000,000)
or a million millions (1,000,000 x 1,000,000).
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Time
How Long Ago Is a Trillion Seconds?
If you count backward, then:
1 million seconds = 12 days ago
1 billion seconds = 31 years ago
1 trillion seconds = 30,000 B.C.
(give or take a decade or two)
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Height
How high is a trillion in $1000 bills?
If you stack a trillion-worth of $1000 bills together, then:
1 million dollars = 4 inches high
1 billion dollars = 364 feet high
1 trillion dollars = 63 miles high
(give or take a foot or two)
Note that this is a STACK, not laid end-to-end.
Let’s Measure a Trillion in Money
With about 305,000,000 people and 111,000,000 households in the U.S.
$1 Million is 1¢ per household,
$1 Billion is $3.28 per person and $9 per household,
$1 Trillion is $3,280 per person and $9,000 per household
If a person’s salary is $40,000 per year it would take:
25 years to earn $1 Million
25 Thousand years to earn $1 Billion,
25 Million years to earn $1 Trillion
If you lived to be 80 years of age, to have:
$1 Million you would have to save $34 each day of your life,
$1 Billion you would have to save $34,000 each day of your life,
$1 Trillion you would have to save $34 Million each day of your life
Unless you’re going to buy every company in the stock market (while others are doing the same thing), you’re not going to spend a trillion dollars for your home(s), cars(s), plane(s), trip(s), cruise(s) etc because while you’re out spending, the money you’ve left in the bank (because you will leave it in the bank to have access to it) will gain interest. It will be multiplying in savings accounts, IRAs and other account types so that it is perpetual to carry on when you’re gone.
My suggestion, take it or leave it: Be Greedy! but be Greedy about sharing the abundance with others so they are able to accomplish so much more in this life. There are many out there who question the validity of the RV. Should it materialize they will not be in the position we are in. That’s when we have the opportunity to educate them in many new and exciting ways. Be Greedy about having that opportunity and then go forward helping others to realize their dreams so they know that life is meant to be lived, enjoyed and cherished.
People have asked me how much currency I have in my possession. I have no problem sharing what I have because that’s how I am. Open.
2 Million DONG, 1.5 Million RIAL, 200T, 500M ZIM, 100K DINAR
That’s what I have to exchange when the time comes for this all to be real. Do I expect to be able to have enough to live the rest of my life? Well…if the DINAR revalues at $3.55 I’ll be set for the next 5 years of time comfortably because of being in Arizona with a place to live, a replacement car and all debts paid, plus enough to eat out every day in a nice restaurant and at the end have more to spare because of investments.
If everything else gets to be exchanged at the same time at an awesome rate, then I can achieve my goal of helping many to level the playing fields in their lives, plus I can stop living in my car and make sure that there are no Veterans living on the streets in any places in this country.
I’m still trying to figure out what people are getting out of lawsuits, out of broadcasting rates that they have nothing to substantiate, out of dates that continue to be wrong, more wrong and even more wrong…but it could be any moment…any hour…any second…but it might not happen until 2020…do you notice a pattern in these things? I sure do!
Thanks for reading, I hope some of this was fun and other parts informative. God bless all who are inspired by this to give, gift, and to share along their path in this world.
