Member: Good morning to all you fantastic people…Welcome to the weekend.
MZ: Expectations are high in the bond market for starting tomorrow. We will see if we actually real money moving or not.
MZ: I am hearing that some of the “flippers” started paying for some but have not been able to verify. At the same time I know some people who have sold bonds to some flippers and they have gone dead quiet. So perhaps under an NDA?
MZ: I am hopeful that is it because it would tell us we are very close for the RV. We should stay calm and watch as it rolls out.
MZ: Very quiet out of Iraq. Very quiet for CMKX, Prosperity packages, farm claims ect….But there was very solid , encouraging news all week. Go back and listen to Nader and MilitiaMan and you will see what has been happening. There have been some fantastic articles this week.
MZ: IMO this was a great week for things we can see. Concrete things. But overnight it was very quiet
Member: Calm before the storm?.
Member: I always watch Saturday Nights. That old Bloomberg video that says some Saturday night when all the banks are closed – the rates will change and we will wake up to a new world on a Monday morning.
Member: Can you explain what a flipper is?
MZ: They are folks who know the groups that aggregated currencies and historic bonds. They know what the projected prices should be at the reset. They ask folks if they are tired of waiting and offer lower prices to those who just want to be done and sell now…..Then the flippers have the currency and bonds and will exchange at a higher price when everything goes. They make a profit.
Member: Just like flipping a house.
Member: Mark, I heard that US sanctions were lifted from Venezuela. Is that a true statement? If so, could we bring our Bolivar to the Rv Redemption center?
Member: I am bringing all currencies I own to the RC. Better safe than sorry.
Member: Bolivar is already on the Forex. If the sanctions are lifted, then you would be able to exchange it anywhere
Member: Do you remember a month ago when Venezuela and Guyana were arguing . China and Brazil stepped in brought them to talk ongoing in Brazil. 2 brics countrys helping 2 new Brics countrys avoid war. Nice
MZ: “BRICS plus expansion is accelerating petrodollar collapse: Ultimately leading to a massive global dollar dump-Schectman” This is from Kitco news.
