Stevel: "Things Are Looking Better & Better Every Day"

Post From Peoples Dinar

​Greetings all,

 
First of all, I am very sorry about not having the News Chat Room functioning correctly. There were some technical DNS issues out of my control. I was able to keep the forums going but not the chat. Chat is back on line. It is complicated, so I will just leave it at that.
 
Yes there has been a lot of awesome news lately. All I ask is that you do not get all caught up in the hype of the phantom or ghost experts that are now calling it every day. It appears there is another race to call the RV first. There are even new one's popping up that you have never heard of. Go figure.
~~~


The latest is miss XXXX  that is now calling it within the next few days, wait it was two weeks from now, or September of this year, or by the end of the year. She cannot seem to make up her mind as it changes daily. Yet another race to call it first. Whatever, we say. Could it happen, sure but will it happen is yet to be seen.
 
With the IMF agreement in place and Iraq desperately needing the money, I am just not sure how this will all play out. Iraq being a third world country seems to have maneuvered around many agreements in the past. Maybe this is different because the world is watching. Yet to be seen.
 
What I am trying to convey here is not to get all caught up in the hype that others are predicting because of self gratification and some prize that does not exist or after this happens, no one will even care or remember anyway who said it first, but rather focus on family and friends. 
I have to admit and agree, things are looking better and better every day. I am very excited about July, but still very cautious and not going to set myself or others up for more disappointments.
 
I plan on finishing this journey with you all and hopefully will be meeting you in the near future.
 
Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.
 
Steve
 
PS. I talked to Millionday yesterday and she is very positive about the news she has been reporting and will continue to report. Exciting times ahead!

More Bits and Pieces in Dinarland Late Thursday Night 6-30-16

Tidbits from The Big Call/ Bruce Intel: " We are switching from an old to a new financial system.
 
CIPS system starts on July 1.
 
Well is flowing.  It is a joyous time.  

All will be released and nothing is on hold any more.
 
We all should have the best July 4th ever.

Release is at any moment now because of the new system we start tomorrow.

Exchange Procedures - we went over Tuesday night.  Banks are ready.

Fed and Treasury gave green light.
 
Hsbc, Aiib, wells fargo, pboc and others are lined up and  ready to go."

"We're almost on auto pilot."

WSOMN:

TerryMac:  7-4-16 is our INDEPENDENCE DAY and ALSO: The eve of close of Ramadan / Eid-al-Fitr celebration. Sounds like a good day for the R/V.

From The Big Call:  MDinn:  INTEL: ROB'T THE WELL IS FLOWING FREELY, NO MORE STOPS, OR HOLDS

ANYTHING ON HOLD..SKR'S, HOLDS WILL BE RELEASED..EVERYTHING WILL GO AT ONCE

ANY MOMENT NOW REVEAL..BECAUSE OF THE NEW CIPS SYSTEM STARTING TOMORROW

*****************************

WingIt:

 GRATITUDE'S TO CALIFORNIA SUGAR FOR HER NOTES~  

Bruce - WF is the lead bank.  All have Green Light from Treasury

Robert - "the well is flowing freely" no more stops, no more holds.  it is a joyous time.

Bruce - also hearing that we are in a new financial system that will trigger other events to happen at once.

Bruce - Time frame for new system is same for CIPS system to be used solely. SWIFT will no longer be in use as of Friday (tomorrow, July 1).   Also heard that with the transition from old to new that certain SKR's, prosperity packages, fines and penalties, farm funds, all that was on hold, will be released.  

Robert - anything that had an ADMIN hold on it will be released because going into new system, banks cannot trade on funds that are on hold.

Bruce - my sources as saying that this will be the best July 4th that we have ever had in our lives.  Not calling in on 4th, just saying in that time frame because of the new system starting tomorrow.

Bruce - In summary …. Rates will be excellent.  The Fed and the Treasury lifted all holds to lead banks so all other banks in that sequence the banks that will feed into WF are set and ready to go.  Systems in place that will handle large transactions.  With new system, we are almost on autopilot for this to roll out. Be sure to review your list of items to take to redemption center…currency, separated by country and denominations within currency type, passport, 2 photo ids, notes.  Leave your cell phone and your guns in the car!  When you get notified, they may ask which currencies you have.  If you have Zim, let them know right away.  My theory is that those who have Zim will go first because they want to "retrieve" it within 72 hours.  Be sure to take the other currencies with you, when you exchange the Zim.  Finally, have fun with this!  It will be joyful.  When you come out, after an hour to 2 hours, be cool, calm and collected.

Winds of Change  By Elmer
 
The winds of change leave gentle reminders that touch my soul. 

A passion and hunger burns inside me. 

I thirst for knowledge that seems to never be satisfied and it causes me greater thirst.

 I yearn more and more for its understanding!Like the wind, I can feel it and you know it's there but you just can't touch it, making you want to hold onto it more. 

The wind reminds me constantly of what is coming, yet it never tells me when it will end. 

Although gently, it's Stirs me, awakens me vigorously looking for answers, I can't hold on too, yet I see its purpose.

The wind reminds me I am alive to search for truth and understanding.

Its gentle touches let's me know my quest isn't in vain.

For the winds of change is here with me!

"Deutsche Bank Poses The Greatest Risk To The Global Financial System": IMF

by Tyler Durden

Jun 30, 2016 5:58 AM

Over three years ago we wrote "At $72.8 Trillion, Presenting The Bank With The Biggest Derivative Exposure In The World" in which we introduced a bank few until then had imagined was the riskiest in the world.

As we explained then "the bank with the single largest derivative exposure is not located in the US at all, but in the heart of Europe, and its name, as some may have guessed by now, is Deutsche Bank. The amount in question? €55,605,039,000,000. Which, converted into USD at the current EURUSD exchange rate amounts to $72,842,601,090,000....  Or roughly $2 trillion more than JPMorgan's."

So here we are three years later, when not only did Deutsche Bank just flunk the Fed's stress test for the second year in a row, but moments ago in a far more damning analysis, none other than the IMF disclosed that Deutsche Bank poses the greatest systemic risk to the global financial system, explicitly stating that the German bank "appears to be the most important net contributor to systemic risks."

Yes, the same bank whose stock price hit a record low just two days ago.
    Here is the key section in the report:

    Domestically, the largest German banks and insurance companies are highly interconnected. The highest degree of interconnectedness can be found between Allianz, Munich Re, Hannover Re, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank and Aareal bank, with Allianz being the largest contributor to systemic risks among the publicly-traded German financials. Both Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank are the source of outward spillovers to most other publicly-listed banks and insurers. Given the likelihood of distress spillovers between banks and life insurers, close monitoring and continued systemic risk analysis by authorities is warranted.

    Among the G-SIBs, Deutsche Bank appears to be the most important net contributor to systemic risks, followed by HSBC and Credit Suisse. In turn, Commerzbank, while an important player in Germany, does not appear to be a contributor to systemic risks globally. In general, Commerzbank tends to be the recipient of inward spillover from U.S. and European G-SIBs. The relative importance of Deutsche Bank underscores the importance of risk management, intense supervision of G-SIBs and the close monitoring of their cross-border exposures, as well as rapidly completing capacity to implement the new resolution regime.

The IMF also said the German banking system poses a higher degree of possible outward contagion compared with the risks it poses internally. This means that in the global interconnected game of counterparty dominoes, if Deutsche Bank falls, everyone else will follow.......

_firefly_ says():General Manager's speech: Global realignment and policy rebalancing
 
Speech and presentation of the key messages of the BIS Annual Report delivered by Mr Jaime Caruana, General Manager of the BIS, on the occasion of the Bank's Annual General Meeting, Basel, 26 June 2016.
 
_firefly_ says():Global realignment and policy rebalancing!
 
_firefly_ says():Drawing on the Annual Report, the speech discusses the realignment taking place in the global economy and the required rebalancing of policies. The large exchange rate and commodity price movements that had played out even before the recent market disturbances can only be fully understood by considering long-term trends in the global economy.
 
Rising debt, lower productivity growth and diminishing room for policy manoeuvre have contributed to a build-up of vulnerabilities that give rise to three threats: macroeconomic instability; the adverse effects of persistently low interest rates; and a loss of confidence in policymaking.
 
Countering these threats requires that prudential, fiscal and structural policies take on a more prominent role. More realism and clarity about what central banks can and cannot achieve would facilitate the rebalancing. Recent shocks make this task more complex, but also more necessary.

The Invisible Hand Of The Disorganized Masses And.....

​Cultural, Economics, Free Pom

The Invisible Hand Of The Disorganized Masses And The Application Of Pre-French Revolution Conditions In The Modern World (Freepom)

June 30, 2016     By JC Collins
 
The comments this week coming from the so-called elite referencing the ignorant masses have manufactured an aggressive response.  The mainstream media have not picked up on these comments but the alternative media have been on the cultural front lines with well strategized talking points.
 
It should be noted that I have often referenced the disorganized masses in previous posts.  This phrase stands in contrast to what is being referenced with the term ignorant masses.  Disorganized would suggest non-ignorance with a lack of focus and intent.  Ignorant simply means that the masses are too intellectually inferior for advanced comprehension.
While it cannot be denied that there is a vast component of ignorance maintained within the disorganized masses, this ignorance, for the most part, is not willful and is the product of massive cultural and socioeconomic conditioning.  Being that all people are not intellectually equal, it can be assumed that there are varying degrees of comprehension when it comes to socioeconomic trends and directions.
 
The one common trait which is shared by all demographics is the expression of self-interest.  The term “Invisible Hand” was first used by Adam Smith in the lead up years to the French Revolution.  The invisible hand described the unintended social benefits of individual actions.  It was reasoned that individuals’ efforts to pursue their own interest may frequently benefit society more than if their actions were directly intending to benefit society.
 
The French population was guided by this invisible hand as the people expressed their self-interest through anger at the French monarchy in 1789.
 
In his book Proofs of a Conspiracy Against All the Religions and Governments of Europe, Carried on in the Secret Meetings of Free Masons, Illuminati, and Reading Societies, Collected from Good Authorities, John Robison, Professor of Natural Philosophy, and Secretary to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, presented a strong case that the French Revolution was manufactured through the manipulation of the domestic economy by external banking interests.
 
http://ift.tt/1dayrzn
 
 
The book, which was published in 1798, only a few years after the initial revolution, has since been minimized and disregarded as inaccurate and unproven.  This typical smear tactic, which we still see in use today, has done little to address most of the facts and events discussed in the book. 
 
The work is a major announcement of the methodology which was used, and continues to be used, by international banking interests against the ignorant (disorganized) masses.  I have a first printing from 1798 in my own collection and consider it to be one of my most prized possessions.
 
The accepted causes of the French Revolution are listed on Wikipedia as follows:
 
Cultural: The Enlightenment philosophy desacralized the authority of the King and the Church, and promoted a new society based on “reason” instead of traditions.
 
Social: The emergence of an influential bourgeoisie which was formally part of the Third Estate (commoners) but had evolved into a caste with its own agenda and aspired to political equality with the clergy (First Estate) and the aristocracy (Second Estate).
 
Financial: France’s debt, aggravated by French involvement in the American Revolution, led Louis XVI to implement new taxations and to reduce privileges.
 
Political: Louis XVI faced virulent opposition from provincial parliaments which were the spearheads of the privileged classes’ resistance to royal reforms.
 
Economic: The de-regulation of the grain market, advocated by liberal economists, resulted in an increase in bread prices.  In period of bad harvests, it would lead to food scarcity which would prompt the masses to revolt.

These are all the same causes which John Robison also attributes to the French Revolution.  The difference is that Robison does not accept that idea that these conditions materialized as a natural process of socioeconomics.  For Robison, the intentional manufacturing of these conditions by powers outside France was obvious.
 
Turning entire populations towards revolution takes years of socioeconomic conditioning and the application of downward pressure on civil liberties while also drawing attention to that downward pressure. 

The disorganized masses through the ultimate expression of self-interest, as defined by the invisible hand of Adam Smith, will inevitably rise up and overthrow those they perceive as being the cause of the problem.  The solution to the problem will have been previously weaved into the fabric of the revolution.
 
In the case of the French Revolution the problem was the monarchy and the solution was the overthrow of that monarchy and the establishment of the state governance framework and central bank methodology.
 
It would be beneficial to consider that in the modern world globalization and central bank practices are fulfilling the same role as the monarchy.  The solution, which will wear the revolutionary mask of modern-nationalism, will morph into the final objective of global governance and monetary consolidation.  The framework for these objectives has already been weaved into the developing response.
 
Let’s take another look at the causes of the French Revolution detailed above and apply modern trends to them:
 
 
Cultural: Like the Enlightenment, the Information Age and developing technology is changing the world at the fastest pace since Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution.  The pressure which is building on the old traditions and ways of life is promoting the concept once again of a new society.
 
Social: Like the French bourgeoisie a new caste of “elite” have risen from within the ranks of the commoners (disorganized masses) and have aspired to political equality with the clergy and aristocracy.  The American elite simulacra of political families, such as Clintons, Bushes, etc.., are fulfilling this role whether they realize it or not.
 
Financial: Like pre-revolution France, western governments have accumulated vast amounts of debt fighting wars around the world and unrestrained fiscal spending.  This debt has caused some nations to reduce privileges through austerity measures and increase taxation on the disorganized masses.
 
Political: Like the provincial parliaments in pre-revolution France, nationalist political movements are developing in countries around the world.  This new modern-nationalism will be the tip of the spear for further global governance and monetary consolidation.  The response to BREXIT of deeper monetary consolidation within the EU and the development of an EU Super-State would suggest this to be the case.

Economic: Like the de-regulation of the grain market in France, the modern world has experienced a massive amount of de-regulation in everything from energy to banking.  As in the past, this de-regulation has caused additional strain on the disorganized masses and has contributed to the growing sense of unfairness and aggression.
 
As we can see, all of the components which facilitated the French Revolution are being used in the modern world in various forms.  The methodology which was used in pre-revolution France went on to be used against other nations and fundamentally changed the world and how massive populations were managed and wealth distributed.
 
Over the last few years I have been writing extensively on the fundamentals of the monetary transition aspects of this new global governance mandate.  On so many occasions I have attempted to present a convincing case to readers that we are being herded down a path which has been engineered with great care and attention.
 
But unfortunately the large majority of readers have been unable to accept the methodology described and have instead folded under the massive mainstream and alternative propaganda which is fulfilling the same mandates as in the French Revolution.
 
As before, where the mass population of France could not see the external influence from outside, the disorganized masses of the modern world cannot see that the five causes of revolution described above are being engineered by a power which resides above the nation state and the structure of central banking.
 
While we are focusing our anger on central banks and our political classes the real framework is being weaved into the well planned out response, which will take the form of modern-nationalism with a focus on repairing the damages which have been hammered into the five effective causes defined as cultural, social, financial, political, and economic.
 
Each of our own expressions of self-interest, the invisible hand which is manipulated, is being used against us for a larger purpose.
 
Often I am asked the question of why I think the plans of the elites will work.  I am told that this time it is different.  This time the people have awakened and they are taking their power back.  The obvious answer is that we are talking two different elites. 
 
Most readers consider the elites to be the political and financial classes which have been allowed to develop.  The elite I reference have engineered those used and abused subjects for the specific purpose of attracting the anger and aggression of the disorganized masses.
 
Some of this methodology and engineering have been further described in the following posts:
 
How Rothschild Inc. Saved Donald Trump
 
BREXIT – The New Modern Nationalism is Global Governance
 
New Age Socialism and the End of Debt-Based Money Creation
 
All of the above, like this article, are FREEPOM posts, which are meant to spread the message as far as possible.  Some information shouldn’t have a monetary value, and my attempt to spread truth is genuine.
 
Trends are difficult to reverse, and the disorganized masses are impossible to organize without access to massive media formats.  Blogs such as Philosophy of Metrics are one of the only methods available of attempting to spread truth and awaken the masses to the methodology described above.  The information age has provided this opportunity to stimulate a true awakening. 
 
Unfortunately this open media is being massively infiltrated and used through alternative media to manufacture the aggressive response required.  They serve the same purpose as the commoner leaflets in the lead up to the French Revolution. 
It is ironic that the site which is honestly attempting to provide an education on the methodologies and socioeconomic engineering being used is frequently accused of promoting the agenda of the elites.

Such is the power and influence of the scripting which is being used.  Like the French population of the past, our populations today are blinded to the real causes and purpose of the events of our time.

 
The question of why I feel so confident that these plans will work has its obvious answer in the fact that the question even exists.  Like John Robison, I am attempting to do my part for the good of humanity but feel burdened with the lack of acceptance and encouragement from the larger population.
 
Standing as a man of conviction I will continue to research and present information for those few among us who still remain free in spirit and thought.  The ignorance of the disorganized masses will continue and this post will be attacked across the blogosphere as more JC entitlement and lack of understanding the economic fundamentals.
 
Renewing the spark of life within each of us is more important than taking a punch in the face.  This transformation of the worlds systems will continue and the disorganized masses will bitch and moan about engineered elites and scripted imbalances.  What was before will be again.  But his time I’m awake, and no matter what the world becomes the truth inside can never be altered or destroyed.  – JC

Iraqi marsh residents hold tight to their reed homes. By Wassim Bassem

An Iraqi Marsh Arab woman paddles her boat at the Chebayesh marsh in Nassiriya, 300 km (185 miles) southeast of Baghdad, February 15, 2013.
 
 The Marsh Arabs who had farmed this area for thousands of years, were badly affected by a campaign mounted by the government of Saddam Hussein in the 1990s to destroy their lifestyle.
 
The marshes were drained of water, and hundreds of thousands of Marsh Arabs were forced to flee to cities, where they live in poverty, the locals in this area said. Picture taken February 15, 2013. REUTERS/Thaier al-Sudani (IRAQ - Tags: SOCIETY)

NASIRIYAH, Iraq — Many houses in the towns and villages in southern Iraq are made of green reeds. The town of Nasiriyah, which is located 350 kilometers (217 miles) southeast of Baghdad, is one of them. The green reeds, found in the marshes of southern Iraq, turn into strong yellow sticks after drying.
 
Green reeds are environmentally friendly, and Iraqis are proud of their cultural value, as they date back to the days of the Sumerian civilization in Iraq in 4000 B.C., specifically in the southern regions of the country. Houses made of papyrus and palm trunks are also common in the south of the country.
 
Folklore researcher Khayoun Chaker, who lives in the marsh area in Nasiriyah, told Al-Monitor, “Clay inscriptions and cylindrical seals inscribed with the images of houses similar to these [homes] were found in the historical city of Ur near Nasiriyah. This proves that these houses made of reed are the same as those built by the Sumerians thousands of years ago.”
 
Journalist and Nasiriyah resident Alaa Kouli told Al-Monitor that people buy these houses, which are common in marsh areas such as al-Jabayesh and Hammar Marshes, because “they are cheap and can be built in a few days. They are simple and well suited to the marshes’ environment that has an agricultural aspect with people living off agriculture, fishing and hunting birds.”
 
Abu Abbas al-Assadi, a sheikh from the Bani Asad tribe in al-Jabayesh district, lives in a house made of reeds in al-Jabayesh, 70 kilometers from the city center of Nasiriyah. The area accommodates floatingvillages on the marshes. Assadi told Al-Monitor, “The raw material from which these houses are built are the plants and large papyrus fields that grow in water. Modern construction materials such as cement and bricks are not used here.”
 
Assadi said, “This area is still as it was thousands of years ago, and it is home to water, reeds and papyrus. People still hunt for fish in small boats.”
 
He spoke about the cultural role and status of these houses, saying, “Many of these guesthouses were built of reeds and papyrus plants. The people meet there to discuss political and tribal issues in the presence of prominent figures; social rituals and religious practices are also held there.”
 
Haider al-Salihi, an expert with 20 years of experience in the construction of reed houses, told Al-Monitor about the building method of such homes. “Reeds and bamboo are dry hollow sticks brought from swamps and marshes that are dried and cut to the desired measurement to be exported to consumers,” he said. “Bamboo sticks are connected by ropes to form six firm columns in the ground, which are considered the basis of the structure.
 
Long, bendable arms are made of these sticks to cover the ceiling and walls, which are connected with ropes. The structure is then covered with carpets made of papyrus plants or palm fronds to give the guesthouse its final shape.”
 
He added, “Roughly seven people take turns to build the guesthouse. They do not use any industrial machines, except knives to cut the reeds and ropes. But after the completion of the houses, they are furnished by their owners — if they are rich — with satellite dishes, internet, and heating and cooling appliances.”
 
In Babil province, which is roughly 100 kilometers south of Baghdad, Sheikh Majid Kallabi spoke to Al-Monitor about “the popularity of this method in the construction of houses, despite Babil being far from the marshes where reeds grow.”
 
He said, “This method of building houses became widespread in the 1980s when the region's population emigrated to Babil after the marshes were dried out due to the Iran-Iraq War [1980-88], and they brought this new method of construction with them.”
 
In Babil, Mohamed Hassan, a farmer, gave up his clay house and built a house of reeds, palm fronds and trunks. He told Al-Monitor, “This kind of house is adequate for the hot Iraqi weather because it provides a cool environment due to air currents that come in through the perforated walls of the house. In winter we insulate it well to avoid rain leakage.”
 
In 1824, military commander George Keppel described these structures as “lined-up yellow houses [across the Tigris River], ranging in length from 50 to 60 feet and resembling the structure of a capsized ship.”
 
To preserve this heritage in eco-friendly houses, the marsh environment — suffering from limited water resources — needs help. Water issues are pushing people to migrate and killing reeds and papyrus plants that provide the raw materials for the construction of these houses.
 
Iraq is seeking to include the marshes on the World Heritage List in mid-July at the UNESCO meeting to be held in Turkey, where member states will vote on the inclusion of new sites on the list.
 
Adel al-Dukheili, the official in charge of trying to get the marshes included on the World Heritage List, told Al-Monitor, “There are exceptional efforts made by the local government and the Nasiriyah provincial council in cooperation with the citizens to achieve this goal, which has political, cultural and economic ends.”
 
He added, “There is international sympathy for the inclusion of the marshes on the World Heritage List, especially the reed guesthouses in southern Iraq because of their Sumerian cultural and social role.”
 
For the residents of southern Iraq to maintain their culture of building homes out of reeds and to prevent the people from migrating, national and international support of the residents of the marsh areas is required.

Bondlady   “Roughly seven people take turns to build the guesthouse. They do not use any industrial machines, except knives to cut the reeds and ropes. But after the completion of the houses, they are furnished by their owners — if they are rich — with satellite dishes, internet, and heating and cooling appliances.”       Shocked Shocked Shocked cheers

KTFA:

Aggiedad77: Family....your Dessert notes from last night's Conference Call...enjoy
.
.Aloha   Randy

 CC Notes for Wednesday June 29, 2016

 Frank26:  So where were we when we were last together Family…..well we really don’t need to go back and review do we….but what we will do is that we are going to tell you that there is a Letter of Intent….that more than likely no one is ever going to see…..you don’t really get to see these letters do you….

But what you do get to see are the guts of the LOI….and this past week wouldn’t you agree with me that almost every article had some mention of some aspect of the agreements they had between the IMF and Iraq…..I would say yes and I would hope you would say yes too
....
So this agreement…..we keep seeing shadows cast all over the place….and you do to because you are a student…..C$hessman is saying….yeah…..here is a loan sir almost a line by line item detail….what a beautiful way to put it….so yeah….we are seeing fragments….little pieces….you know the old comparison….like a jigsaw puzzle….here’s a piece….where does it go…..I don’t know….it looks like this color over here…..no it doesn’t fit there….and that is our confusion by the way….they don’t tell you anything….but they aren’t hiding anything either….

It is for you to be a student and determine what they release…..is that a piece….no we don’t need that piece….wait a minute….no that piece matches right here perfectly….and what we are seeing….IMO….are a bunch of little jigsaw pieces of the LOI that are being released to you…..because you are curious and you want to know….and the media knows it….and everyone who is a student of the IQD is very well aware of what is going on.
 
I loved it when Kuwait says to Iraq….hey you said you are ready to pay us for the war…..yeah…..don’t pay us right now….there are many indicators we said on Monday didn’t we….many indicators…..what we told you on Monday there it is the following day…..I even stopped….I was posting…..there it is that was on your CC notes, yep there it is….I just stopped because almost everything that was coming out we had told you the night before.
 
These little pieces of the Letter of Intent between Iraq and the IMF are important to me and my TEAMS…..because we trying our very best to piece all of these pieces together to make one explanation of what the LOI says.
 
One important factor…..is that every day Abadi is telling the citizens he is bringing them their reforms…..starting on Monday when he planted the flag in Fallujah….a few hours later he went out and he told them….I’m not forgetting you….all of the reforms…and the Financial Reforms.
 
Then on Tuesday what did DELTA do….he gave you a report….an update….from the CBI website….reassuring the citizens once again….hey I got you….I haven’t forgotten you….we are getting these reforms….we are getting the loans….we are going to start paying people….now can they do this at 1166….yes they can….that part you need to know….just because you like salt on your food doesn’t mean…..you better pay attention to the pepper too.
 
I want them to lift the value…..and I think that they will….IMO…..especially with us escorting junior as far as we have so far…..and it wasn’t because we had nothing to do…..you keep saying we Frank….who is we….you know….you are students.
 
The indicators are out there Family….left and right….and it is happening as we told you….right after Fallujah….we said Give me Mosul….Family they are giving you Mosul in little pieces….and by doing so….every time you read an article about Mosul….read deeper….not only in that article but deeper that day….don’t just stop at one source.
 
Let me give you an example of what I am trying to teach….”The Iraqi Government Officially Announced the Launch Editing of Mosul Operations and its Cleaning on the Participation of the Popular Crowd”….you see here you have the combination of four different things in one article…..

You have the Iraqi government who is actually busy passing laws….amending laws and following the LOI with Dr. Shabibi and Abadi….but yet we are being told the Iraqi government officially telling us of the launching of the editing….wait…why doesn’t the army tell us….why doesn’t the Commander in Chief tell us….we are being told about the Iraq government officially doing something….what….about Mosul….the cleaning of it….in participation with the Popular Crowd….four different subjects…the government…the city….the military….and now those that are helping the military.
 
What did we tell you on Monday….watch…..15,000 citizens…..and they call them the Popular Crowd….they are actually calling them a lot of names….but this is huge.
 
Give me Mosul….well we don’t want you to know what is actually going on….just yet….but the next thing you know….you are being told what is going on aren’t you…..there is more to this by the way…..Abadi says we will have a military formation an important role in the liberation of Mosul….now I said that was four subjects….make it six…..so when you read an article that is talking to you about Mosul….get close to it….or dig deeper that day to find in reference of it.
 
Here you have the Iraqi government telling you that we are officially launching the cleaning of Mosul….well that is the second stage….first there is the editing….oh….we also want you to know we got the citizens….they call them the Popular Crowd….and according to Abadi they are to have military formation….in other words….the military of Abadi…the commanding General of the Iraqi army is escorting 15,000 citizens of Mosul who are doing something….what are they doing….well it is an important role in the liberation of Mosul itself….and we can tell you about it now…..because if you think that 15,000 people all of a sudden got together in a day or two….sorry Family.
 
Abadi is looking really good with the citizens….and this is so important….for me and you….this is really extremely important for Abadi to come out looking like a hero to the world….and he is looking good….you see us….in the sense of the USA….we want a Ronald Reagan….you know what I mean….we want a Bush….we want somebody with a good set of idea…..we do not want any weakness….and this man is one of the most stubborn people I have studied….I love his stubbornness….and his stubbornness is bringing forth what he promised to the citizens….

And every now and then you get a little glimpse from DELTA that he is talking to the citizens in the same manner that he is not telling you about the 15,000 citizens….what you think they talked to them and boom…..no they talked to them for a long time….and prepared them….in military formations for their important role….that is what the article says…..you understand what that important role is….to take over their city…..to take over their banks….to take over their reforms…and the money is coming because they agreed on the LOI….that was studied yesterday….and will be shown to those that need to see it…..

You will never see the LOI….but you will see fragments of it….and one day you are going to wake up in the still of the night  and you will see a rate change for the IQD….and everything else will continue to wait and bow to Iraq’s decision about raising the value of their currency…and until that day happens there is not a whole lot we can do…..except to continue to threaten them, encourage them, push them….or drive them into the international theater where you cannot survive with a program rate…..

You can leave it at a program rate….but it would backfire big time….and the only way Abadi can keep the promise to his citizens…..is to give them jobs…..ahhh what….he’s not going to raise the value Frank…..he can raise the value 1 to 1 and they would blow their money in a few weeks…..and they would go back to the multi-currency policy….but that is not the ultimate goal is it.
 
So the citizens of Iraq…..only 15,000…..so they tell you….so the citizens of Iraq….IMO…are now working in the direction that we want….for all their reforms….and the Financial Reform is one of them….take care of those banks…..you got it….tell us who is doing it….you got it…..turn that person in….we can do that…..arrest these people….give us the authority…give us weapons….give us intel….but most of all give us the banks….because if you give us the citizens the banks we will gain confidence….the way the international world is gaining confidence in Abadi….

You keep talking to us Abadi….keep talking….keep telling us….and we will keep getting closer and closer….inch by inch….not all at once now…..you know how it is here in the ME….but we are close aren’t we…..I’ll tell you what….we will cooperate….we will pitch in….we will do anything and everything you want us to do.
 
Today you see the articles where something to that degree is occurring isn’t it…..the citizens need a reason to belong….all human beings do….all human beings want to be a part of something….no one wants to be banned from KTFA…..no one wants to be left out…in Iraq….Family it is the jobs….and it is the jobs the citizens are looking for…..and if you don’t get me jobs….the lifting of the value isn’t going to do any good…..I need for you to give me what I need in order to keep the RV going Abadi.
 
So Abadi tells the people….IMO….he will eventually tell you….IMO….look the international world still does not know what is going on….we have so many companies that are coming in right now…..we have so many agencies that are giving us the equipment we need right now…..to deal with the international world….not just in the bank world but in construction and many other different fields…..security…..I even have a guy in the government that is going to say that all my ministers….all my technocrats that I told you about….he’s saying….no it was all rejected….don’t even pay attention to that….it is brilliant tactics by Abadi Family…..brilliant….give the citizens more purchasing power through the reforms and a sense of contributing to the development of Iraq…..along with their new hero….Abadi.
 
Now….IMO….this was something junior was given to do….and junior did very well with it and is doing very well with it…and that is why I said that Mosul will be given to you a little bit at a time….it might be that tomorrow they give you all of Mosul…..it might be that they give you everything tomorrow or the next day….and that is why we might have an extra conference call this week.
 
They have information that is making the citizens comfortable to join in not only with the removal of ISIS….but to also join in with the reforms…..they know about the digital platform that I believe is going to be launched in the first week of September…..they know about these things…and you wonder to yourself….what do they care about that…..well they know many emerging countries from around the world are being affected by what is going on right now….there are many of these digital platforms that are reaching out to these countries right now….China….Vietnam….Indonesia and many other countries and the citizens know this….

The citizens know there is an agreement with Abadi to open the financial accounts…..now that is huge….and they know…this so called new money…they know it is going to go to the provinces…they know that the loan money is going to the provinces…..they know that the CBI and their government is going to abuse this money….they are being told little details….down to the HCL…..they know about the HCL….they know about Mosul and Kurdistan….IMO…..they know Abadi is talking with Joubari….and the citizens they want to help…..they don’t want to be a problem….they don’t want to be a delay….

Do you remember….go back in your notes….what did I say was the biggest delay to all of this…..the citizens…..I’m the only guru that ever said that….everybody else said oh it’s Obama that is creating a delay….oh it is this or that….or it’s Maliki….but I looked you right in the eye and said….the reason we don’t have it is because of the citizens….they are mad….they are not cooperating….they won’t go into the banks….they won’t stop using all of these currencies…..they won’t help the military….but it is a different story now.
 
Many committees are now meeting left and right with each other…and they know what the CBI is doing….they know about the amendments that are going on too in their country with many of their laws.
 
Look at this….we expect this agreement….what agreement…..you know what agreement….and that is why it is given to you in little pieces….and by the way…..remember that I told you on Monday…..Abadi does not say….I’m lifting the 000’s…..no he doesn’t talk that way….he talks about…..we have an agreement…..yeah to lift the 000’s don’t you….and what about it……well we expect that this agreement is going to bring fruition….by improving the quality and the equity in the educational system….and also in the European Union…..

What…..well it is an important impact on the government of Iraq…..didn’t we say that on Monday….many currencies would be affected in a positive way….what else Abadi….well especially after the signing of the partnership agreement and the cooperation that we had back in 2012….yeah…..back in 2012 when Dr. Shabibi wanted to lift the value of their currency….yeah…what about it….well which aims to strengthen the relationship between the two sides and achieve the integration of Iraq into the global economy.
 
I’m sorry….what more do we want….there are many things they are doing and this is one of them…..and they are all being successful….so yeah the citizens are happy….so yeah the investors are happy…..and yeah you are starting to get happy aren’t you…..you’ve never been this happy before with this investment…..you know that too don’t you…..you’ve never seen these huge, gigantic, Paul Bunyan steps.
 
The ME countries….all against the same common foe….the militia obeying……and the Peshmerga and Iraqi armies obeying Abadi….the international world knows there is a keyword….and that keyword is…..agreement….IMO….every time you see agreement Family….anywhere….I want you to realize that IMO….they are talking to you about the LOI and they are trying to define little pieces of it for you….so that you can catch up with them…..hey…what we agreed upon…..we have done it…..

The IMF and Iraq is constantly meeting on these agreements Family….constantly…..and for one person from the Iraqi courts to come out…..Iraqi courts for crying out loud….what business is it of yours….you are a judge….you can be bought a dime a dozen…..and what was your opinion…..oh well ah…Abadi’s cabinet….he’s not going to reshuffle it….up yours…..who are you with….I’ll bet we aren’t going to hear from you again….seriously…..everybody is going in one direction and all of a sudden one numbskull….how much did Maliki give you….you know very well that is what happened.
 
Family the 000’s will be deleted from the exchange rate in the same manner that the 000’s have been deleted from the streets…..because they told you 75% of it had been collected….that was a long time ago….can you imagine where they are at now…..that is why there are holes in the things they are doing and telling us….that we are seeing.
 I love you and I have a present for you….Admins go ahead and put them up….now here is what I have….IMO….if I had the Letter of Intent….I wouldn’t give it to you…but I want to….on our forum at KTFAlways.com post 28 that has just been put up….I asked some of our TEAM members to go back….at least two years…maybe up to around 2014…..and I asked them to do me a favor…..I asked them to find me….every article that we have in our archives that defines the steps of lifting the 000’s of the Iraqi dinar….not only within the streets but within the exchange rate…and the plan that it was to take this….I want every member of Parliament’s opinion….I want Keywords….all of them on the situation of the country itself of Iraq about lifting the 000’s….pro or against…..

Now when you look at this and they are three documents….you have to download them into your computer….this is only for KTFA Family….no one else can do this….you can’t copy and steal this can you….because this took a lot of work…and IMO listen…..this is the LOI….you have three documents….they are all long…..they are all filled….unfortunately I apologize….we were not able to put them in sequential order as far as the dates…..so I would like for you to do that for yourselves…2014….2015….2016….Frank read the titles to several of these articles within these documents….all of this comprises the LOI….IMO….

And when you think very seriously about what we are telling you here….this present if for you for a reason….this gift if to you….it took a lot of work to put it together…..I want you to first put it in chronological order…then second I want you to pray about it….because the meat of these three documents that we just gave you….are our studies….and this is the way you should study….by compiling these all together in these three documents we are sharing with you some that is rather private and personal with us…..and if you pay close attention to these three documents….you may get emotional…..because you don’t have these documents stored up like this….

And for you to hear Monday’s call and this one and then read all the articles and understand what they are doing with Fallujah and Mosul now a little better…..and then you look back at these three documents….you can’t help but look at these documents and look at today…then go back to the documents…..back and forth….and you are going to smile….they are not hiding anything……they just aren’t telling you….but we thought we would tell you…..these three documents….IMO….are the LOI….

And they have given you ever indication they have agreed upon the LOI and are activating it and Abadi said he will take care of the citizens with the reforms….which is within the LOI.
 
Dismissed with a prayer.
