ABU DHABI - 
The exchange rate policy, organized by the Institute for Economic Policy in the Arab Monetary Fund in cooperation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Center for Economics and Finance in the Middle East, was recently opened in Abu Dhabi and will continue until the 25th of this month
A statement issued by the Fund on the Director of the Institute of Economic Policies d. Saud Al-Breikan delivered a speech on behalf of the Director-General of the Arab Monetary Fund, Abdulrahman bin Abdullah Al-Humaidi, in which he said: "The session is of particular importance, highlighting many issues related to the management of economic affairs in the wake of the global financial crisis and the consequent decline in growth Especially in large economies, which has led some countries into recession. " Course Themes



"The course focuses on the fundamentals of the analysis of various exchange rate systems, how to read the international currency and exchange rate indices, as well as ways to determine the adequacy of foreign reserves of countries, the relationship between exchange rate policy and macroeconomic policies, , Basic data from the fixed-to-flexible exchange rate, and currency crisis indicators within the framework of the early warning system. " 
"The global financial crisis has shown that countries that have pursued a sound and disciplined macroeconomic policy have been least affected by the consequences of the crisis, some of which have been reflected in the flow of funds into their economies in the form of foreign direct investment that has contributed to maintaining balanced economic growth in these countries," the statement said. Inflation Control



"The policy of exchange rate is one of the most important policies adopted by countries to maintain the stability of macroeconomic variables, the most important of which is inflation, which is one of the obstacles to economic growth," adding that "control of inflation is through the adoption of a combination of monetary policy and more disciplined, Appropriate exchange rate policy ". 
"The fixed exchange rate policy helps curb inflation, and the flexible exchange rate policy helps absorb external shocks," he said. "The results of adopting such economic policies were evident during many of the economic crises that hit the world economies over the past two decades, Mitigate the negative effects of these crises "Competitiveness



The statement pointed out that "the flow of capital significantly, in the presence of effective monetary policy, enables countries to avoid the consequences of these flows of high real exchange rates and thus reduce the competitiveness of their exports." 
"Although these flows contribute to an increase in the volume of reserves, the accumulation of reserves may entail costs of interest payments on government bonds that are used to absorb the liquidity left by these flows," he said. Private capital is short-term as this money is often a quick exit.

"It is important for the national interest of the United States to maintain its military and diplomatic presence in Syria in order to end the conflict in this country," Tillerson said in a speech at Stanford University in the US state of California.

1-17-2018   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   We are just under 2 weeks from the end of January. I still firmly believe we are nearing the re-instatement and it will occur in this month.  But remember when I say we are about to see it that I mean there are still multiple steps to take prior to us going to the bank.

1-17-2018   Intel Guru RayRen98   We do have one source saying “this is it for this week”, and of course we are halfway through the week.  Another source said that the rate was now at .25… but that was only at the CBI.  At an airport somewhere in the Middle East, we tried to get people to confirm that, and then we got reports of that rate in the US, or rather what it amounts to here, which is $4.  That was fluctuating, and not live, but it’s still a good indicator.  If the rate is .25, that is $4 for us.  The US Treasury and banking sources are all saying “any time now”, and both are saying $3.71 is the rate.  Keep in mind that Forex will show a market rate, not the official international rate...We did hear that it was live for 20 minutes in the UK over the weekend.  
We also heard that the CBI sent a message to the BIS that the issues had been resolved around payments to Kurdistan.  If the BIS and IMF are happy with what the CBI is doing, then they will get the green light.

1-17-2018   Intel Guru AdminBill
    There is a very strong possibility that you will be very busy with appointments starting very soon. No dates or rates but be sure to stay informed and stay ready.

1-17-2018   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  "In accordance with Security Council Resolution 2390 on 8/12/2017, Iraq has fulfilled all obligations related to its withdrawal from Chapter VII of the UN Charter."  ...we heard many articles already on getting “fully” out of Chapter VII, but this is not the sole purpose of this article. In this article I believe they wanted so list out yet more benefits for Iraq in getting “fully” out of Chapter VII and where they are heading with the banking system now and in the future. ...they are telling us they are modernizing the banking system to keep pace with the rest of the world, something that is needed if they will be integrated with the “global” economy. A full integration is when they finally roll out the re-instatement of the currency.  I would say based on all the banking reforms implemented so far this is all just about done.
 
1-17-2018   Newshound Guru Adam Montana   I'll remind you that Iraq has a major share of one of the WORLD's most valuable resources. They aren't heavy into technology, but they are advanced enough that major international banking can be turned on with the flip of a switch. Over the last year, we've seen key institutions and organizations mention that Iraq is welcome to join the big boys...if they want. We've waited for them to do so, and IMO the key to this all is still the HCL.  Could this media-crypto-frenzy be a perfect time to slip some action in while heads are turned? We will see.  [post 2 of 2]

1-17-2018   Newshound Guru Adam Montana   I'm pretty sure we can all agree that we don't expect Iraq to give us a warning that they will raise the value of their currency. This is just something we expect to see happen, based on their progress with Government, Banking, Stability, and Political situations. Since we don't expect them to give us a "heads up", it should be easy to understand that a major change in the value of the IQD would happen when the world is distracted... like, by a bloodbath in one of the hottest topics on the planet right now?  In case you live under a rock, I'll explain - the cryptosphere is currently in meltdown mode. "Huge losses", "Major crash", "The End Of It All"! That's what the media is screaming right now... and nobody is even paying attention to Iraq.   [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

1-17-2018   Intel Guru Frank26   [At one time they said the Dong would come out with the Dinar...  Is it going to be in that basket?]    NOT THE ONE THAT WE ARE TEACHING ABOUT...IT WILL CONTAIN ABOUT 6 CURRENCIES AND THE DONG IS NOT ONE OF THEM...MY STANCE HAS NOT CHANGED ON THE DONG...I BELIEVE IT TO BE EVOLVING AND GROWING IN VALUE AND STRENGTH BUT DUE TO CHINA I THINK THEY STILL HAVE SOME TIME TO GO BEFORE THEY CONSIDER AN RV JUMP.

1-17-2018   Intel Guru Bruce   Iraq is still under blackout. They did have a rate change already. People that have the so called Qi cards from Iraq that are citizens were paid on these cards.  These people are getting paid at a real in country revalued rate on their Qi cards. That just changed for them 7 to 8 spending power than they had.   We understand late last night [Monday] what had happened globally was there was a system reboot on all banking systems around the world. They were getting resynced on two things.  1) A new satellite that was coordinating everything under the new banking system.  2) They were being connected to new rates as was going to happen last night from the Forex.   We got evidence the Forex is up and changed with new rates.   You and I can’t see them and professional traders can see them.   ...we know we are in good shape to begin pretty soon.   I have heard the John Q Public will start in about a week or so.  As far as I am aware, things are still on track....it appears is we are exactly where we need to be time wise.

Subject: A FEW GOOD POSTS THIS MORNING. READ TANKS' LETTER TO THE UST-IMPOTANT

1/16/2018 11:57:00 PM EmailedIntelUpdate 

"KIM-POSSIBLE"

It seems like an impossible reality that one person could be in control of the release of the entire human race. However, "Kim" has done some things and made some claims with more authority than anyone I have ever spoken to in this process.

"Kim" explained that Steve Mnuchin had come to see her last year and asked her to release the codes to the Rothchild's and allow them to release it to the US Government. She explained to me that there was an Illuminati agenda to use disinformation, false hope and stall tactics to destroy the American economy and the spirit of the people. But unlike the theorists who have written similar things,"Kim" actually provided proof.

She sent me pictures of the Illuminati Agenda, like a business plan for Evil incorporated. That being said, it made sense that she didn't want to release the codes to the Rothchilds because they never intended to honor their contractual obligations and give the power to the people.

She has provided tangible evidence of everything she said she could do including providing an actual transaction code that the UST has already confirmed is viable. In addition, she has provided me with several pieces of sensitive documentation that we can use for the lawsuit that we could not have otherwise ascertained.

That being said, the constant lies used by the bad guys, and the good guys to keep the secrecy of the big event has made it very hard to trust anyone. Even with the evidence that "Kim" has provided I've had a hard time believing that she is the sole possessor of the transaction codes that unlock all of us from this debt bondage.

But at this moment I am hopeful that everything is in alignment for the transition tonight. We've been told that everything is set to go at the same time including the bonds, the RV and even the Global Currency Reset. So now we get to see who the real problem is. Just minutes ago "Kim" told me that she hopes they test her because she will authorize the release today.

We know for the first time the UST has the codes. We know they have verified the accounts. We know that the entire world is ready to be made liquid at a moments notice. We know everything is complete accept for our inclusion in the exchange process.

It's put up or shut up time. I will know if the UST tries to push this forward, and I will know if "Kim" approves their transaction. This will be the first time in this process that we have an actual look at the reality of this transition. We are in support of the execution of this process and the UST's ability to perform tonight. And I truly hope that "Kim" has made the seemingly impossible, possible.

2. Certain Groups have exchanged and have been hydrated.

3. The Internet group, Tier 4, were considered part of the John Q Public exchangers.

4. The privately negotiated rates were available at exchange centers to Tier 4.

5. Iraq was still under blackout. They had a rate change recently and the people have the new rate on their Q cards. Memos have gone out telling them at such and such a day they would have 3-4 times the spending power, then it changed to 7-8 times the spending power on their cards.

6. Late last night Jan. 15-16 there was a global system reboot in banks around the world and the banks were being connected to new rates on the Forex.

7. Today Jan. 16 the Forex showed new currency rates, but those rates were not visible to the general public.

8. Monday Jan. 15 was a very busy trading day around the world.

9. The DOW went up over 1,000 points in one day on Mon. Jan. 15. Perhaps new money was finding it's way into the financial system through supply and demand.

10. Certain exchanges have been done through Table Top meetings to convert the system to spendable money.

11. Bruce believed the process was coming East to West. We would likely be last to start, but it would happen shortly.

13. The timing was set for us to start soon.

14. Joe Public was scheduled to start in a week or so.

15. We would still receive an 800 number to call for our appointments.

16. The Reagan-Wanta Funds have been repatriated to the US. - 95% of which was in physical gold and that was the primary gold that backed our new US currency.

4. All indicators alluded to the RV release being imminent.

5. All personnel involved in the process (including exchange personnel) were being scrambled to their positions and told to be ready to fulfill their duties.

6.We were once again on hour-to-hour basis for the RV release.

D. Jan. 15 2018 6:44 am EST Intel Update, Fisher: 
"Take it or Leave it" - GCR/RV Intel Update - Fisher - 1.15.18

1. The military was saying that the UST was getting pressure from heads of state from all over the world that was forcing them to release. They're very close.

2. Exchange Centers were fully staffed, opened and prepped for full activity. We were in active awareness mode expecting notification anytime now.

3. Banks have received memo that all institutions would be active this evening Jan. 15 for the event

E. Jan. 16 2018 1:08 am EST Intel Update: 
"Start Time Mystery" - GCR/RV SPEAK Intel Update - Tank - 1.16.18

1. We received a report that the UST was getting pressure from heads of state from all over the world that was forcing them to release. They're very close (hard to confirm as the UST is not sharing information with me directly at this time. But our reports still say if there's anyone entity holding things up it's the UST. We have names at this point that will just be added to the lawsuit, along with anyone trying to keep this from the people)

2. ZIM groups have set appointments for exchange tomorrow Jan. 17 (yawn, its easy to schedule much harder to execute)

3. We were also told exchange centers are fully staffed, open and prepped for full on activity. (Sorry for exchange center intel, I know we're tired of hearing that but at some point it should actually mean something and we believe it's tonight Jan. 16).

4. We were in active awareness mode expecting notification anytime now. (Said everyone in this for the past two years).

5. Bank chairmen were notified that all financial institutions would be active sometime tonight Jan. 16.

6. Bank president reached out to one of our contacts and said that this process would go live tonight Jan. 16 and exchanges would start tomorrow Jan. 17. (True story, and seems to support the memo that was sent out detailed above)

7. In St. George Utah on the radio it was announced that new currency was coming out on Jan. 15 (Unconfirmed).

8. European Royals said Reno was activating the RV today Jan. 15/tomorrow Jan. 16. We were watching for evidence of that. (Unconfirmed)

9. Military said the UST was being watched by too many people to drag their feet anymore (We do know that heads of state have been actively involved in trying to push everything through)

10. Orders went out to go live with the RV this evening Jan. 16. Actual start time was still a mystery. (Not even sure if these orders have any weight as similar orders have gone out before but we have hope and other events that seem to support their validity)

11. Germany's central bank confirmed it would include China's Renminbi in its reserves.

12. The FT reports that Andreas Dombret, a member of Deutsche Bundesbank’s executive board, said at the Asian Financial Forum in Hong Kong on Mon. Jan. 15 that the central bank had “decided to include the RMB in our currency reserves. The RMB is used increasingly as part of central banks’ foreign exchange reserves. The European Central Bank included the RMB [as a reserve currency].”

13. People in the process say that the above information was the trigger for the RV exchange process to start as China had this window right now to capitalize before the American markets opened.

14. We do know that there were packages pertaining to the structure, distribution and management of the different humanitarian funds, universal income, and various relief programs that were received by every country when the M4 assets were officially changed into M1 assets yesterday Jan. 15.

15. In some cases, many smaller countries who did not realize the scope of this effort were seeing these documents for the first time. Many of them reached out to the lead foundation that actually has control of the assets to congratulate them and be sure they had an established relationship so that they could be sure to get assistance for the transition. This outreach would only have happened if we were really in the final moments of the process where it's gone too far to stop.

16. Performance should be evident to us overnight. This means we should have our invitation to go exchange the assets we hold. Each day we are held in bondage because of lack of performance, the energy and awareness grows around the appearance and potential of cruel intentions that we hope are not true.

17. We have a copy of the Illuminati agenda that included a perpetual cycle of false intel until it destroyed the world's economy and the psyche of the people. This spoke to the Civil War taking place behind the scenes as the Cabal struggled to remain in control.

18. We have been told by the good guys that this plan has been disrupted and was no longer in effect. However, currently we have not seen evidence of actual performance. We still believe the Alliance has the Cabal under control and we would finally see true execution tonight Jan. 16.

19. While I've been writing this I've already received reports that contradict our release tonight Jan. 16. These sources are making nonsensical claims about Chinese New Year Fri. Feb. 16 which has been the proven formula to get us looking forward just far enough to stay stagnant and believe. (DO NOT BELIEVE THIS).

F. Jan. 16 2018 12:00 am EST Intel Situation Report: 
“Broken Arrow” - GCR/RV Intel SITREP - Tuesday - 1.16.18

1. Sundown(s) came and went on all coasts and these instructions arrived before midnight EST Jan. 15: “Stand down. Return to beta.” Feels like yet another full practice run done in real time. No 800# release.

2. The big Trump flash bang is either next weekend or a month from now as to tee up the release with the Chinese New Year on Fri. Feb. 16. Next federal holiday is Mon. Feb. 19.

3. Banks don’t know. Rank and file military doesn’t know. Local police forces don’t know.

4. Hearing rumors again about off site redemption locations in abandoned malls, winter dormant stadiums and empty airport hangers. Can’t confirm any of it.

5. Military bases for ZIM a certainty. Confirmed.

6. Fake Hawaii missile alert was counter response to destroying the Cabal's last broken arrow asset.

G. Jan. 16 2018 3:29 am EST: 
Tom Heneghan -- Hawaii Missile Alert from Canada!
https://youtu.be/7NM1BNj1jEk

1. Alert in Hawaii was a real missile alert from joint Canada NORAD. The idea that somebody pushed the wrong button is a total lie.

2. These were the same people who had the US air defenses stand down during 9/11.

3. The Illuminati cockroaches are backed into a corner. Their fake news is not working as well as it used to and more new revelations of their crimes come out daily!

4. Stew Webb was told by super spook Otis Johnson (medal of honor) that Donald Trump was running an "operation" of his own to root out the traitors in our government. We're going to see the results of all this in the next 90 days most likely.

5. The Inspector General (I.G.) report should come out Jan. 16.

6. Michelle Obama has been tied in with operating MS13 gangs inside the US.

7. Barack Obama has already been declared an illegitimate President due to his foreign birth.

8. Emails have been uncovered that linked Hillary Clinton directly to an assassination in Libya.

White Hats Report #62

2018 – The year the American dream is restored?

First of all, we’d like to wish everyone a Happy New Year as 2018 will definitely be a year to remember and history will mark it as a turning point for the US if not the world. What’s coming in the next 12 months will be unsettling for some, long past due for others but will be remembered as a cleansing of the planet.
But before we go forward, it’s important we revisit and review the past so the information is fresh in our minds as in everything, it is connected. Nothing is created out of a vacuum so we will attempt, in the coming weeks, to provide the trail so that everyone can connect the dots on the sophisticated scam that has been perpetrated on the world for the past decades.
As has been and always will be our emphasis, the coming storm from the White Hats and affiliates will concentrate on the world financial sector. We’ve made it our objective to expose the criminal fraud perpetrated on the people of the world by the banksters. That onslaught will not abate but will increase in both intensity and documentation in the coming weeks.
But first….a trip to the past.
February 12, 2012
This is the day Lord David James of Blackheath stole 10 minutes of time in the House of Lords, directed and supported by the London section of the White Hats. The information imparted during that short speech revealed the criminal fraud perpetrated by the Federal Reserve and all their co-conspirators: the banks, Homeland Security and of course, the deep state’s own shadow government organization, Pureheart Investments, LTD. He exposed the bank trading programs and their overnight profit percentages and exposed the Federal Reserve as nothing but a criminal enterprise, in existence for the sole purpose of pillaging the assets of the world and stealing money from every living soul inhabiting this planet.
The fraud disclosed in London that day included the creation of $15T out of thin air, backed by gold that didn’t exist and they didn’t own, sent to the shadow government’s prime criminal business creation, enabled by Homeland Security’s bank clearance code and ignored by law enforcement, politicians and the public on both sides of the Atlantic. But to the cabal, just another day of thievery and deceit, a normal occurrence for an industry with no accountability, no oversight and no consequences.
It’s past time this…..like everything else the Deep State has created to control the world….comes to an end.
The fraudulent transfer of $15T from the NY Federal Reserve to the account of Pureheart at the time was 150% of the total debt of the US. To the cabal entrenched banksters, it was a drop in the bucket compared to the theft they perform on a massive scale. Billions, trillions, quadrillions and more are just the norm for these bloodsuckers of humanity. The secret space program, black projects and blackmailing, compromising and/or murdering anyone who gets in their way, the money trail has to be followed to unravel this centuries old financial scam. The people need to be freed once and for all.
Weather
The winds of change are on the horizon, the storm building in several areas will soon be upon us. We will be creating our own Category 5 force by engaging our readers and followers to assist with the effort. The banking/financial sector of life is purposely created with complication so the masses stay in a constant state of confusion. Cash is actually debt, debt is actually paper, paper is actually worthless and this pretty much sums up the Federal Reserve…worthless. Outdated in their redundancy, criminal in their operation and destructive in their unending quest for total control of the masses.
Its time they were exposed, taken on and taken out. We will endeavor to provide a look behind the curtain to the ones pulling the levers of world domination.
Mueller
We remain undecided on the current Robert Mueller investigation. We know his past which includes being sworn in as FBI Director exactly one week prior to the 911 charade. We know he protected Romney when he cut off Florida FBI agents from investigating the fraud perpetrated on Edward Falcone. We know he refused to extradite Michael Herzog after being arrested by German authorities with incriminating evidence of trading program contracts involving Bush 41. We know he has been running cover for the Bush crime family during his entire time as FBI Director.
Are we to believe he’s now changed teams and working against his puppet masters who he’s so loyally and submissively served his whole career?
Time will tell but we remain skeptical.
Late Update
Chatter is circulating within our realm that certain west coast law enforcement agencies are preparing to serve massive arrest warrants this week. There is no other information regarding Federal vs. State warrants, how many are to be served, what the charge or charges are and if they are all related. We provide this information so as to not mislead as some sites and voices have been preaching imminent arrests for months if not years. Unfortunately, the source of the information is so raw that no other details are available because the source simply does not know. It’s possible it could be confined to a local matter and not related to the reported 10,000 sealed indictments all across the country.
Or….it could be related.
If that’s the case, the release of the long awaited Inspector General’s report could very well be the trigger point for unsealing the indictments and starting the arrests. It is reasonable to assert that if Mr. Horowitz does his job, the IG report will be a very scathing rebuke of the abuses occurring within the FBI and DOJ. If Mr. Horowitz rises to the occasion, he will expose the criminality that has been running cover for the deep state/shadow government for the last 70 years.
We have reported on various schemes, frauds and deceits perpetrated by the cabal on the people of the US since 2010. We have cited and documented crimes committed by various named individuals both in the government and out, in both Republican and Democrat parties and been specific on other details such as times, places, dates and amounts.
In last year’s election cycle, Wikileaks revealed emails which cast a darker, more sinister shadow, even eclipsing our exposure of the fraud, bribes, theft and attempted murder. We’ve named names and been clear about the depth of involvement of who is part of the cabal: Bush, Clinton, Biden, Obama, Greenspan, Bernanke, Romney, Herzog, Guenette, Ackermann, Cheney, Geithner, Jarrett, Dewhurst, Nevin, Panetta, Paulson, Pelosi, Reid, Rockefeller, Soros, Volcker and more.
The one and only one reason they’ve been able to operate their criminal enterprise is because they controlled the FBI and DOJ. The two groups we depend on to arrest the criminals and enforce the law no matter who is breaking it, are compromised. The last few months of disclosures regarding Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Weisman, Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele all serve as examples of the corruption.
There will be more.
