Tivon:  Wait a sec, if this was a meeting where their concerns regarding the currency auctions and  implementing the "Monetary Reform Policy" by deletion of the three zeros which have been delayed to the point of citizens demanding because of the lack of employment which sparked the protests.

Then how else can you end these demonstrations other than to actually follow through and launch these programs ASAP?

Which plays directly into what Delta brought in about the "Visa" asking price of 0.84 which is not the program rate.

This week looks really promising for not only the citizens but the world. Not to mention Frank' stating that they already completed these demands. I don't know how else to look at this article and assume we are about to see something in very short order.
