I welcome everybody the big call tonight. It's Tuesday, November 12TH and you're listening for the big call. I hope everybody had a wonderful Veterans Day. Yesterday was a bank holiday, Federal holiday, and what is Bob usually says our week starts at nine o'clock Eastern time on Tuesday night, which is tonight. So let's do this. I want to welcome everybody that is listening. Thank you for tuning in yet again. Let's go ahead and pray the call in
All right, let's get into where we are on Intel, this has been a very slow day. Intel wise, we did get a little bit at the last minute about, oh, I'd say, four hours, maybe before the big call started. And I always like to get it and refresh it and fine tune what I can get the day of the call, because it's, it is just that it's fresh. So here's where we are.
We were anticipating, and I believe I brought this up on Thursdays call, we were anticipating getting notified today and exchanging either today, if we got some numbers early enough, or tomorrow, which is Wednesday.
Well, we didn't get notified today, but that part didn't happen for us, and it seems that what is happening now is when we talk to people, we get bankers, we get redemption centers, we get we get, sometimes we get other sources, sometimes we hear from some of these guys - And today, was one of those days where we got one piece of Intel, one piece but it might be all we need,
And Here's how it went, we did speak to someone who is at a redemption center. This person said that they were told that they were waiting for the US, the new US Treasury, to make an announcement.
Now we don't know they're making an announcement to the leaders of the redemption centers, to all of us, the US. We're not quite sure, but this announcement was supposed to come out and then the redemption center leaders and the people that are putting out the information to all the redemption centers across the country are to receive an email from Wells Fargo that would give them our Start Time and everything that we find out so that we get some idea of when we're going to be notified.
Now that's an announcement from the new US Treasury and the email from Wells Fargo, both of those to happen within next three days. Now we have to use Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Those are our next three days. Now it could happen anytime those three days, or it might take all the way to Friday.
But I felt like, what's interesting is we don't always get everything that we're looking for, but we might get just what we need to hear. And even though we don't have everything, this information is sufficient. God's grace is sufficient for us. And I look at this as this is God telling us to just hang in there a little longer. We're almost done. Let's go ahead and get these. -
Get this announcement from the US Treasury, the new US Treasury, and let's get the email to come out from Wells Fargo to us and see where we stand at that point, all within the next three days, between Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Now, beyond that, I just want to say there was some information out that I heard about today that was dealing with med beds, and it went on and on and on into a long plan or timeline that gave us med beds in the hospitals and so on and so forth, into well, into next year and into actually starting next summer.
Well, let me give you a little update on what really is happening on med beds. This information was partially correct and partially not correct.
What I'm going to tell you is what is and what is real. We talk to people that are in charge of putting the med beds in med bed centers and training military to administer those all around North America. That means Canada, the US and Mexico.
But we also know that this is happening in other parts of the world as well, but I can tell you that right now in Canada and the United States, we have 38,400 med bed centers that are outfitted with two med beds in each one Well, that's quite a few.
Now, I believe we in the United States, probably around ….. ? we have plenty, and they're going to be making more, and they're going to be putting in - Now where the hospital comes into play. Take all the hospitals we have now, the information I'm hearing is that 80, 80% of those hospitals will be closed or sold in the coming year, leaving us 20% of the hospitals still in business.
But hospitals will no longer be considered like we see now. There will be healing centers, and yes, they will get med beds again, possibly what was written that might be fairly accurate, starting in January or March, but the med beds we have available right now, are waiting for us to go - just as soon as we start our exchanges –
Once we exchange. and redeem our Zim, we let the people know, yes, I am a candidate for the med bed I have if you have a dire need, you know blindness counts as dire need, for example –
You let them know, and they will enter something and make sure that you are notified very quickly. You will be able to get into the med bed and get it all squared away.
So obviously, I'm looking forward to that as many of you are as well, and each of you zim holders do get a priority. They do get priorities – they want us to be around a long time to see our projects through the completion. So that's a very good thing – We are going to be one of the first ones to get in, if you're, a dire need and a zim holder, you've got, you've got the holy grail to get in. So don't be misaligned by certain things that you're reading.
As I said some of that was correct, but some of it does not take into consideration that those of us who are paying attention to the big calls that are getting ready for your exchanges and your zim to be redeemed we're the first in line. We're ready to go. Dire need, and zim holder is the first to go.
So keep that in mind, we're coming into a really important time to get our exchanges started to redeem zim, There's a lot of changes getting ready to happen. And that's really what I wanted to talk about tonight, not a lot of Intel, just, you know, a little bit, but enough for us to know that we're supposed to start within the next days, we need a an announcement from the new category, and then we need from Wells Fargo to the leaders of the redemption centers. And then they get their notification. We get our notification, and then we go.

Member: Good Evening- Anyone else feeling (and praying) we are close?
Member: Mike Bara and Jen had some interesting tidbits in their show today... Maybe our new currency will be announced soon!??
Member: Hi Mark is there a chance that whales are being handled during the Forex higher rate tests? A way to go under the radar?
MZ: I highly doubt it but, not going to rule it out.
Member: will the US dollar RV like the other currencies?
Member: If the USD becomes gold backed….it will finally be worth a dollar……the fiat dollar is only worth a few cents right now.
Member: Hasn’t Iraq said they are going to be the financial savior of the world? If so – do they have to have a higher rate then Kuwait?
MZ: If Iraq is going to be the financial savior of the world (according to Jaime Dimon) then it may have to have a higher rate than Kuwait. Sudani said the dinar would go back to its former glory and would be the most valuable currency in the world.
MZ: He also said the revaluation would be done by Victory day…which is December 10th.
MZ: “Parliamentarian reveals the suspension of the Oil and Gas Law “Territorial Differences”
This is the HCL…..They say they have to resolve these points. I think it’s already done…..What I am hearing from Iraq is very different then what is printed in the paper. Now right before Kuwait RV’d…we had the same type of articles. And then BAM- they did it…..on the same day. Similar story in China when they RV’d. Mixed stories are on purpose so we do not know the timing….
MZ: “Oil Minister A consultant will be appointed within 60 days to recalculate the amount of crude in Kurdistan” Who thinks they do not already know how much crude is being produced? Believe me- they already know…..I am excited watching this play out.
MZ: “Planning confirms the implementation of a proactive process for the population census tomorrow-Thursday” In a few hours the census will be well underway. Great stuff coming out of Iraq today..
Member: With the census the government is closed…and a curfew is enacted……would be a good time to pull the trigger.
MZ: I have heard nothing from redemption folks and nothing from bonds today.
Member: Mark- Nader said IQD on forex, I wonder what does that mean for us?
MZ: There are still some trading restriction on the IQD…but, this tells us they are preparing for that international status. We should start being excited.
Member: Hey guys. Does anybody know what website is showing that IQD is revalued? I keep hearing it is but I have a 4X account that says not.
MZ: It only showed it for 20 minutes or so. Tons of folks took Screen shots.
Member: TNT thinks we should be happy by Saturday. Big celebrations in Zurich, apparently..
Member: Praying it does go over the weekend!!
Member: I hope we have a gold backed “Banksgiving” this year

Kurdistan Minister of Planning: The census that will decide the region’s share of the budget should not be politicized
11/14/2024
The Minister of Planning in the Kurdistan Regional Government, Dara Rashid, stressed on Thursday the necessity of not politicizing the population census scheduled to be conducted in all of Iraq on November 20 and 21, considering that this census will decide the region's share of the budget.
Rashid said in a press conference held today in Erbil, attended by Shafaq News Agency correspondent, that "the population census should not be politicized, and the rights of all other components in Iraq should be preserved," adding, "The decision of the Federal Council of Ministers regarding the census was not in accordance with what we demanded."
He added, "In the shortest time and with the least budget, we completed the necessary preparations to conduct the census," describing the Kurdistan Region's concerns about the census as "constitutional and legal."
Rashid also pointed out that the 1957 census will be the basis for the 2024 census, noting that the 1957 census will preserve the rights of all components.
The Minister called on the people of the region to cooperate in conducting the census, stressing that after the 21st of this month, no one can be registered in the census.
Rashid urged the residents of the areas covered by Article 140 of the Constitution (disputed) to go there and be present during the population census, noting that the Kurdistan Regional Government is providing facilities for the return of the residents of those areas to them during the census.
He went on to say that the population census will determine the region's share of the budget, which was reduced from 17% to nearly 12%, and that the population of the region, which has increased like the rest of Iraq, will become clear, noting that the census will increase Kurdistan's representation in parliament and the rest of the federal institutions and ministries.

Coffee with Zester. 11/14/2024 “Hidden in S.4912 - BITCOIN Act of 2024”
Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim
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
MZ: Zester has the helm this morning as I am traveling-Not RV related.
Member: Good Morning all!! Blessings on all that you do
Member: GM Zester and fellow hopium addicts……is this our week???
Zester: I do have a news update today from pops. He is on his way back to the states and he may be able to pop on for tonight’s podcast. We will see.
Member: Just curious if your dad traveled to the states to do his exchange? Maybe wishful thinking??
Member: Its very interesting that he left for the states and did not mention it last night…hmmmmm
Zester: This trip happened in a bit of a rush even though he had been planning a trip back home for the middle of November in order to see family. It just happening on different days then he expected.
Member: I was hoping Mark signed a NDA and couldn't tell Zester.
Zester: From Iraq: It appears there is progress on the Erbil HCL agreement I am posting links to these in chat….for you all to share
Zester: On the bond and banking side today….things remain particularly quiet. Pops is looking forward to having more information this evening…but he is particularly happy about progress in Iraq at this time.
Member: This is the calm before the storm…..or the deep breath before the RV plunge.
Member: Nadar said the Dinar is on the FOREX.
Member: Remember Sudani says Monetary reform done by Dec 10……hope its true.
Zester: “BRICS members hoping to develop a digital BRICSPAY crypto currency international trade system” BRICSPay is making the announcement to counter the US Petro dollar.
Zester: We have heard about the I-Dinar in Iraq …and countless other digital currencies from many other nations that are primarily backed by natural resources. These countries are major raw materials producers. We are seeing a massive push for an international crypto currency trade system
Zester Pops wanted me to highlight a bill that Senator Cynthia Lummis put out. The Bitcoin act of 2024. This is a bill that is supported by Donald Trump and a growing list of Congressional folks on both sides of the aisle.
S.4912 - BITCOIN Act of 2024 https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/4912
Zester : The plan behind this bill is to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve in order to back up the Us economy. And there are interesting ways to go about this. By doing this the plan is to massively reduce our national debt . Cynthia Loomis estimates we could eliminate half of our national debt solely by maintaining a Bitcoin national reserve in the coming decades…..
Zester: It gets very interesting when we look at what is actually in the bill. This is what pops wanted me to cover. It says Bitcoin Act of 2024…but this is not a crypto Bill. This bill also talks about gold reserves and actually creating a financial backing to the US economy. And it plans on doing that by actually going after the Federal Reserve.
Zester: I find this to be extremely interesting. They are talking about purchasing $200,000 Bitcoin per year…over a 5 year period with a goal of reaching a million Bitcoin which is about 5% of the total Bitcoin out there. The US already has about $100,000 Bitcoin supposedly ….But if you add another million to that it puts US at owning 5% of all the Bitcoin on the planet.
Zester: The reason behind this as I stated earlier …is to back up the US economy and to “decentralize” the US economy. The most interesting parts of this are the “proof of reserves system” and offsetting the cost and how they plan on paying for it.
Zester: The “Proofs of Reserves system “ requires the secretary to provide a quarterly proof of reserves that would be publically available. Everyone in the public would be able to see the balance sheet fr the Department of the Treasury. Including an independent third party auditor to verify the accuracy and integrity
Zester: This means they will actually bring the power back to the American people and the US Treasury to audit US reserves.
Zester: It has been up to the Federal Reserve in most cases in the past to tell us what they have. So this bill which includes crypto and other parts are not about crypto. It is also about removing power from the US Federal Reserve bank system
Zester: This bill is designed to set up a decentralized and secure network of Bitcoin and crypto holding facilities across the United States in order to decentralize the wealth of the nation and protect our futures.
Zester: It allows for states to voluntarily participate and then states can start their own sovereign funds in separate and segregated accounts from Federal Reserve money and sole ownership would remain with the states . This is huge and will allow for states to start having accountability in their own books.
Zester: How will they pay for this? The Federal Reserve has to actually give the US Treasury its money back.
SEC. 9. Offsetting the cost of the strategic Bitcoin reserve.
(a) Discretionary surplus funds of federal reserve banks.—Section 7(a)(3)(A) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 289(a)(3)(A)) is amended by striking “$6,825,000,000”and inserting “$2,400,000,000”.
(b) Use of remittances to treasury.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding the second subsection (b) of section 7 of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 290), for fiscal years 2025 through 2029, if the Federal reserve banks remit net earnings to the general fund of the Treasury during that period, the first $6,000,000,000 of these remittances (before repayment of any deferred asset) in a fiscal year shall be utilized by the Secretary for the implementation of the Bitcoin Purchase Program, pursuant to the purposes set forth under section 5.
(2) EXCEPTION.—Paragraph (1) shall not apply if the Federal Reserve banks do not remit net earnings in any given fiscal year during the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2029.
(c) Federal reserve system gold certificates.—Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Federal reserve banks shall tender all outstanding gold certificates in their custody to the Secretary. Not later than 90 days after the tender of the last such certificate, the Secretary shall issue new gold certificates to the Federal reserve banks that reflect the fair market value price of the gold held against such certificates by the Treasury, as of the date specified by the Secretary on each new gold certificate. Upon issue by the Secretary, each Federal reserve bank that receives a new gold certificate shall remit the difference in cash value between the old and new gold certificates to the Secretary for deposit in the general fund within 90 days.
Zester: This is HUGE. They are going to revalue the gold held by the United States!!! And this paragraph is not about crypto currency. For those wondering what this means…Currently the Federal Reserve values all US gold at $42.00 a troy ounce….…If you were to look up the price of gold right now- you will see it is trading at about $2,569.00 per troy ounce……..
Zester: This means if the Federal Reserve Bank was forced to pay the difference in cash values between the new and old gold certificates- they would be on the hook for a huge bill.
Zester: Say the US Treasury revalues gold at $2,500.00 point….This would mean that for every single gold certificate-the Federal Reserve bank holds –they would owe the US Government @2,570.00 dollars minus $42.00 dollars…..so $2,528.00 per gold certificate that would need to be paid to the US treasury by the Federal Reserve banks.
Zester: This would bankrupt the Federal Reserve. The Federal reserve would not be able to pay back the gold it has improperly been valuing to the US Treasury. That is what makes this so HUGE. This is the revaluation of precious metals by the United States and the destruction of the Federal Reserve all in one bill…...
Zester: This is a legitimate bill on Congress.Gov . This is legitimate legislation and public information. This is a bill that will be introduced in the next administrations early days. If passed in its current form it would bankrupt the Federal Reserve.
Zester: Pops feels we will be discussing his topic a lot in the near future. And this could be how we see the revaluation of precious metals in the new financial system and get our natural resources properly valued to back our currencies. . And all of this is hidden inside a Bitcoin Act.
Member: This would definitely End the Fed.
Member: This is going to make the federal reserve insolvent, which is a good thing…
Member: This is about having a gold backed currency right???
Member: Is this an announcement of the new USTN?!!!!!!
Zester: one more Thing I really like in this Bill is “Protection of Property Rights”
(a) Rules of construction.—Nothing in this Act shall be construed to—
(1) authorize the Federal Government to seize, confiscate, or otherwise impair any property right in the lawfully acquired Bitcoin holdings of any person; or
(2) infringe upon the rights of individuals, businesses, or organizations to purchase, hold, transfer, or dispose of Bitcoin in accordance with the law.
(b) Affirmation of rights.—This Act affirms and protects the rights of persons to maintain full lawful control over the Bitcoin and other digital assets of those individuals, recognizing that the ability to maintain self-custody of private keys is fundamental to the principles of financial sovereignty, privacy, and personal liberty in the digital age.
Zester: so not only does this bill ensure the Federal Reserve cannot pay its bills…but ensures that we get properly valued gold (and most likely silver) and affirms our rights to self -custody of our money.
Member: WoW $11 billion dollars at $2050 would be $22,550 TRILLION dollars.
Zester. Yes the say there is 11 billion in gold certificates valued at $42.00 a troy ounce. This is where the US can pay off its debt. This is where we return power pack to the US treasury where it should have been all along. This bill was introduced with Trump onstage at the Bitcoin conference and is expected to be up for vote in 2025.This needs to brought to the main stream media.
Zester: This is going to be an insanely exciting bill to follow in the legal system. I hope you all read the bill….. S.4912 - BITCOIN Act of 2024 https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/4912
Zester: This bill is authored by Senator Cynthia Lummis – A Republican from Wyoming.
Member: I believe this is our USN’s, And QFS all rolled up in one. WOW
Member: How does this affect the RV?
Zester: Remember all of these currencies that are backed by nations and primarily “resource rich” well, the revaluation of those metals and resources would essentially mean a revaluation of the nation’s value which will become extremely important. Also a way to say “Hello Nesara/Gesara. I don’t believe any of us were expecting things to happen this way.
Zester This could just be a back up plan…and things could still happen sooner but I find it extremely exciting. Keep in mind that if the United States revalues our gold would essentially result in the rest of the world doing so
Member: Including Iraq and all the other currencies we hold. Zimbabwe would be crazy rich.
Member: What an amazing time to be alive!!!
Member: Thanks Zester for being here today. What a wonderful podcast today. Thank you for explaining things so well.
Member: our future is so bright- we have to wear shades.
