Friday Thoughts From Holly

Good morning roomies! 

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says “I’m possible”-Audrey Hepburn 

Anything is possible! You exist and hold within you  millions of possibilities. Keep finding one till it happens and you unlock the secret key to your greatness! 

Here is my weekly recap for the rv:

1. Lots of great news all week that things were happening. It’s become ad nauseam as this is the weekly theme. Only to have another week go by and nothing.

2. The good news I can share is F&P’s have started with the old prosperity programs. 

3. All sources have said the release should begin this coming week. I will not give dates.

Holly Cont….

4. It does appear things are close based on all the people I talk to. 

5. The biggest problem is they don’t have enough authenticators and that has really slowed down the bond process. 

6. The other issue is the amount of fraudulent bonds has really slowed the process down.

7. Let’s focus on the good news that F&P’s have started to come out with PP’s. They need to get to a % for the release to happen.  Let’s see this done. See the codes put in And the exchange happening.

See yourself free, happy and prosperous. See us changing the world for good! 

NEVER ever give up! This is a transition not a transaction! Keep the faith.  -Holly

Fleming:  04/28/2022 Update

Parliament agreed with the Ministers to launch the ISO 20022, at a rate of $3.22 USD TO 1 IQD. The Parliament also said if this RV is not completed by the end of this month of April, 2022, then nothing can happen until the end of May.

And, according to Parliament, the Afghanistan Afghani will not be part of the GCR because of terrorists.

The Cabal is not handled, not until the evidence is given. The GCR is teetering on a sharp ledge. One way is ultimate sovereignty and freedom. The other is a bunch of garbage.

It’s a balancing act for sure.

Pimpy Question: "Is it not too late to buy dinar? I really need a house or a place to rent on my own. I don't make much and I'm looking for a miracle." People are still buying the dinar but here's the issue with everything that's going on. It's hard to judge when the rate change is going to happen. If you're listening to other people out there right now they're promising you a rate change of $3.22 or that it's gonna happen next week...you hear all this stuff so be careful...make sure that you just buy with whatever discretionary funds you have...

Walkingstick   Question "Will the budget and the white papers be launched this year?"   That's the plan.

10 ‘Normal’ Money Habits That Are Actually Harmful

10 ‘Normal’ Money Habits That Are Actually Harmful

Andrew Lisa  Wed, April 27, 2022

Just because you get into the habit of doing something doesn't mean it's good for you -- and gnawed-on fingernails and cracked knuckles aren't the only proof. Some of the worst habits that tend to die the hardest show up not only on people's bodies but in their financial lives as well.

From the way people budget to the way they spend, save and invest, minor sins are easy to come by. Like so many bad habits, some people don't even realize they're making money-related mistakes at the time. Or they realize it but find it hard to change.

The following money habits have been normalized over the years but are still just as harmful as ever.

Not Following a Basic Budget

In 2020, a survey from Intuit/Mint found 65% of people had no idea how much money they had spent the month before. Perhaps unsurprisingly, younger adults were the least likely to keep track of their spending. No matter your age, your financial goals both big and small will die on the vine if you don't know how much money you're bringing in, how much you're spending, where you're overspending and the percentage of income that you're saving -- if you're saving at all.

Ignoring Your Credit Until It Matters

Despite the widespread availability of free apps such as Credit Karma and free credit trackers that come with most bank accounts and credit cards, plenty of people still ignore their credit for most of the year. They check in only when they're up for big purchases or loans, often finding that their scores are a whole lot lower than they had imagined or that there are mistakes on their reports that they could have corrected before the damage was done.

The truth is your credit is important 365 days a year. It affects the rates you'll pay, not only for mortgages and auto loans, but for things like insurance and utilities. It also impacts whether employers see you as hireable or whether landlords will take you on as a renter.

Knowing what's in your credit report is the first step to managing your credit. By tuning out, you're accepting a more expensive life.

Carrying a Balance on Your Credit Card

According to Lending Tree, a little more than half of America's credit card users carry a balance on their accounts -- which is exactly what banks want them to do. When you pay your statement balance in full every month, you pay only as much as is needed to cover your purchases.

American Concern Over The Delay In Forming The Iraqi Government

April 29, 2022  The "Bil-Iraqi" program highlighted the statements of the US Assistant Secretary of State for Iraq and Iran, Jennifer Gavito, about Washington's position on forming the new government in Iraq, despite the passage of months since the early elections. What is the impact of the delay in forming the Iraqi government on the security situation in the country?   LINK

The Iraqi Parliament Is In The Process Of Issuing A Resolution Obligating The Government To Submit The Financial Budget

Shafaq News/ The Head of the Legal Committee in the House of Representatives, MP Muhammad Anouz, announced today, Thursday, that work is currently underway to issue a parliamentary resolution obligating the government to submit the budget for the purpose of approval, noting that the constitution did not prevent the caretaker government from sending bills to Parliament.

In a statement received by Shafak News Agency, Anouz said, "The political blockage led to the delay in approving the budget and the disruption of bills, which cast a shadow on the country's economic situation and the living reality of citizens."

He added that "there are about 120 laws that have been transferred from the previous parliamentary session to this session, some of which affect the economic aspect."

Mustafa Al-Kazemi’s government stumbled by sending the budget bill for 2022 before the Iraqi parliament in its previous session dissolved itself in preparation for the early elections that took place on October 10, 2021.

A number of specialists considered that the delay in approving the budget for the current year would negatively affect investment projects and delay ongoing projects, in addition to stopping the economic activities of the market in the country in general.   LINK

He Expected A Delay In Its Formation For Another Two Months.. Deputy: There Is No Government Without Agreement With The People Of Arms

Shafaq News/ The representative of Nineveh Governorate, Muhammad Nuri al-Abed Rabbo, expected on Thursday that the formation of the Iraqi government would be delayed for two more months, and while he stressed that the "consensus" between the Shiite parties is the decisive factor in forming the government, he warned against reaching the stage of "breaking the bone."

And caused the mismatch between the main political forces to delay the formation of the Iraqi government after the elections held in October of last year.

Al-Abd Rabbo told Shafaq News Agency, "It is not possible to form a government without consensus among the Shiite parties that possess weapons, and if these conflicting parties do not agree, the government will not be formed."

He added, "If the government is formed according to the principle of breaking the bone or the majority, the parties that will be excluded will not remain silent and will not let things calm down and will resort to escalation in its various forms."

Al-Abed Rabbo suggested that “the country will remain at least two more months without a government, and the situation will continue as it is,” warning of “the danger of the majority government because there are those who own weapons and this does not bode well for all parties.”

With regard to the financial budget, Al-Abed Rabbo expected that it would be passed to the House of Representatives without obstruction, as there is no interest for any party in delaying the approval of the budget, he said.

Regarding the sharing of government positions by the Sovereignty Alliance, Al-Abed Rabbo explained that "Nineveh Governorate is completely absent from the sovereign positions of the Sunni component, in addition to important positions such as agencies and general directorates."

And he indicated that "the leaders of the Sovereignty Alliance shared positions without regard to Nineveh and its weight, and this is what made me, along with eight other representatives from the province, refuse to join the Sovereignty Alliance, which represents the weight of the Sunni component in the country."  LINK

Does it really take three days for checks to clear and post to your account?

No -- It all depends on a person's credibility and the type of check it is. For instance, payroll checks usually clear right away, and so do checks deposited by customers with an ample amount of cash in their account. Sometimes a portion of the check clears right away, and the rest clears in the next few days. The teller we spoke with said he has no knowledge of how the percentage is determined, as it is set by a system.

Debit card loss and theft are not as well-protected as credit card theft.

True. Some banks will cover all the fraud-ability charges, such as Bank of America. However, typically the protection is less than that of a credit card, so if you're concerned, contact your bank and inquire about all the loss and theft protection coverages available to you.

The only bank staff that can work at the teller window are tellers.

False -- It all depends on the bank and their protocol. For instance, at this particular teller's bank, assistant managers have to work at the window but that doesn't mean they always do if they're feeling lax... particularly at his branch. Another example is at Chase, where bankers are cross-trained as tellers.

The bank is allowed to pull money from your deposit if you owe overdraft loans or fees.

True.

Calling a representative or going in person to your branch to resolve a problem will be better than filling out forms online.

Thursday Evening Update with MarkZ 04/28/2022

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good evening all……was hoping Mark would be wearing that golden suit tonight.

Member: Step right up and get your tickets for the RV roller coaster!

MZ: Let’s talk about what is going on….”The Iraqi government has confirmed that the Eid-Al Fitr will begin on Sunday the 1st of May and end on Thursday the 5th of May” …. I am still hearing this is the target. And within 3 days or so at the end of this holiday is when they expect to have a new value on the dinar.

MZ: That is what I am being told from inside the sandbox.  Other than that it has been very quiet on the RV front.  Which is what we expected at the end……A lot of anticipation and a lot of preparation.

MZ: My redemption center folks will be on call this weekend. They don’t think they will be working this weekend based on all the chatter. ,,,so maybe it would be a great time to slip it in there.

Member: This is a marathon…not a sprint!

Member: So from what you are hearing May 8th is the date?

MZ: At this point I would say around the 8th to the 10th…

Member: May 8th would make it a great Mother’s Day.

MZ: This would fit with dates our military contacts have been telling us for the month of May. I am hopeful this is it.

MZ:  I wanted to share a link with you tonight from a New York times Article from 1991...reporting  the revaluation of the Kuwaiti dinar.

MZ: NY Times article from 1991 reporting the revaluation of the Kuwaiti dinar

When Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of 1990, the value of the Kuwaiti dinar dropped to about 5 cents. In other words, it took 20 Kuwaiti dinars to buy one dollar.

In February of 1991 Iraq was expelled from Kuwait, and a month later, the banks revalued their currency to $3.47, the highest valued currency in the world. When this occurred, the New York Times reported the event on March 25, 1991.

http://www.nytimes.com/1991/03/25/world/after-the-war-no-electricity-but-kuwait-reopens-its-banks.html

It still has no water and little electricity or food, but Kuwait revived its banking system today, introducing a new currency.

Banks reopened for the first time since Iraqi occupation forces shut them down in December. Thousands of people lined up to exchange their old Kuwaiti dinars for crisp new ones and to withdraw a limited amount of money....

All other old dinars can be exchanged for new ones on a one-to-one rate until May 7, when the old dinars become invalid. The new official exchange rate is 3.47 American dollars for one new Kuwaiti dinar.

At the same time, the UN put Iraq under trade sanctions, crashing the value of the Iraqi dinar (IQD) from $3.22 to about 4000 to the dollar. Their currency could only be spent in Iraq itself, and people had to carry around wads of 25,000 dinar notes to buy groceries.

Then in 2003 coalition forces invaded Iraq and overthrew Saddam Hussein. By 2004 we gave them a new currency without Saddam's picture on it. The value soon doubled and went up to 2000 to the dollar. A few years ago the Central Bank of Iraq managed to stabilize the value at 1166 per dollar.

On June 27, 2013 the UN removed Iraq from Chapter VII sanctions, allowing Iraq to regain control of close to $80 Billion in frozen funds that had been sitting in western banks since 1990. This also allowed Iraq to be reinstated on the world's banking network, as soon as they are ready. At the same time many expect to see the IQD revalued at or near its former position.

​MZ: There is a pattern that is repeating itself greatly.

Member: ​I'm seeing may 1st to be notified due to iso 20022 compliance

Member:  Isn't our banking system off the Swift on May 1st???

Member:  DEUSTCHE BANK IMPLODING!!!....EYES ON GERMANY!!!

Member:  Nick Fleming called it for May 5th.... if I recall....... One day, someone will get it right

Member:  My credit union will be closed April 29 to May 1… for “scheduled maintenance“. Never happened b4.

Member: This movie sucks!!!

Member: I’m really sick of popcorn.

Member: Dear God, it’s me again. I know your time is valuable but if you could make this happen real soon, we would all stop asking. Thank you

Member: Good evening everyone, see you all latter at whiskey and wisdom

Note from PDK: Please listen to the replay for all the details and entire stream….I do not transcribe political opinions, medical opinions or many guests on this stream……just RV/currency related topics.

Saleh Calls For The Implementation Of “Reviving Al-Rafidain” And Expects A Massive Population Explosion

Wednesday, 27 April 2022 12:59 PM  Baghdad / National News Center  Today, Wednesday, the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, called for the implementation of the Mesopotamian recovery initiative that he put forward last year, while warning of the dangers of drought, climate change and a drop in water levels to significant levels in the country.

Saleh said, in a series of tweets on "Twitter", followed by the National News Center, that "Sawa Lake, the pearl of the south in Samawah, I remember my visit to it with my father when I was young, fascinated by its beauty and luster, that its drought is unfortunate and a harsh reminder of the danger of climate change that It constitutes an existential threat to our future in Iraq, the region and the world, so addressing climate change must become a national priority for Iraq.”

He added, "The population of Iraq today is more than 41 million, and it will be 52 million in ten years, and it will be associated with an increase in demand for water.

Desertification affects 39% of our lands and the scarcity of water is now negatively affecting all parts of our country and will lead to the loss of the fertility of agricultural lands due to salinization.”

Saleh revealed that "Iraq is ranked fifth among the most fragile countries in the world in terms of water and food shortages and extreme temperatures," expressing his expectation that

"our water deficit will reach 10.8 billion cubic meters by 2035, according to studies of the Ministry of Water Resources due to the decline in the levels of the Tigris and Euphrates and evaporation in dam waters and not modernizing irrigation methods.”

Saleh considered, in his tweets, that "the Mesopotamian recovery initiative, which was put forward last year and approved by the Council of Ministers, must be activated and developed as a strategic framework for building a green economy that supports oil resources and avoiding bankruptcy in water resources, drought and its repercussions on the migration of villages, rural areas and agricultural lands."

Saleh concluded his series of tweets, saying that this project "is a project for Iraq and all of our region, which shares the serious threat of climate change, and relies on strategic programs that include afforestation, modernization of the Tigris and Euphrates water management, generation of clean energy, and the integration of environmental plans for the countries of the region with each other through joint solidarity." https://nnciraq.com/124225/
