Welcome everybody to the big call tonight, it's Thursday, November 21st one week from Thanksgiving, and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for tuning in tonight. We should have a very good call tonight for you - looking forward to it - and before we go too far along, we just welcome everybody that is listening around globe, everybody that tuned in on free conference call, or whether you're listening on the replay link or replay number, we're just glad to have you here, and let's go ahead and pray the call in
Okay, good, good. Thank you Bob what is our time hack for fun? It’s 10:16 – ok good good - I think we can do this in the next 14 minutes or so. Thank you, Bob, appreciate that very much. Here we are, guys. You know, I have to apologize because the information that we received on Tuesday that I brought out on Tuesdays call two nights ago did not come true for us yesterday, which was Wednesday, today, being Thursday. Of course, we did get more information.
We did get hopefully better or reliable intel - I was pretty confident I did everything to call it Tuesday night, and maybe I kind of almost did, but I'm not going to call it tonight, but I'll tell you, the information we’re getting is looking very good, very good. We know that they want to get this to us before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a week from today.
I really think where we are now, let's go back and talk briefly about other things, and then I'll come in on what we want to hear about all our time, the restitution and reclamation allowance, which I refer to as R and R is set to start on Thanksgiving night for everyone who is not exchanging currencies.
And there's a bunch of people, obviously seniors, and they're calling seniors, 60 and older. 60 and older will get a lump sum amount of R and R, and it's going to be substantial. Everybody that's older, 60 and older is going to get a pretty good chunk. I can't say how much it's going to be, because it's going to be different for everybody so, but that's good to know that that's coming.
So even though those of us who have zim and other currencies are going to have quite a bit more to work with, for projects, these will - there will be enough for people to really change their lives quite a bit - So keep that in mind.
It's going to start for us when we go to the redemption center and we open up and activate our quantum accounts.
Remember, that's the account where all the proceeds from our exchanges go, and then from that we move funds about up to 1.6 - 1.8 billion into our Wells Fargo account, which is what I'm calling my primary account.
Now, if you have LLCs in place, already set up, and you want to open a bank account for each one of those, which I'm going to do, you would be able to move more funds from your quantum into those accounts. They're almost like sub accounts. Primary wealth account is where you move the money to begin with. And then if you want into your sub accounts, which would be your second account, I guess, primary and secondary, then you can do that too, and then go into what you'll use in the first six months.
And then after that, we should be able to move as much as we need to, as much as we want from the quantum account into the wealth account. Or if you have one or two other banks you want to tie in to your to your quantum card, you can do that.
I believe they want you to have no more than three banks that are actually able to receive the funds from your quantum account so wells and maybe two other e banks that would work for you. It might not work to use credit you know, credit bureau, not credit bureaus –
You know, like some of the smaller banks that you're three tier four banks, it's probably not gonna work, because you're in a different game. You're really in a totally different world. When you're not even going to be going to the retail bank anymore, you don't even go into your normal bank, or you go right now, if you're going in at all, you're going to be able to just do this banking online from your new Q phone that they'll give you If you're a zim holder,
You'll get one of those at the redemption center when you leave. So they have that designed so that you can do that securely from a Q phone. Otherwise, that's really nothing – the timing Is starting on the 28th which is a week from tonight of November.
All right, so, but if you're like us, that are going in for exchanges, which we believe will be before then, and I'll get to that in a moment or two, when we get in there, we will have our funds already in our quantum account –
But when you go in, you activate and you see the screen that shows how much you have from your from your R and R. What you want to do is write that number down on a pad when you're in there so that you remember how much of your balance was, your restitution and reclamation allowance. It's kind of various, kind of, maybe some of you go, Well, I don't care. I've got zim - It won't really matter.
And I know what you're saying, but it'd be kind of nice to know how much it was. How much did you pay in taxes? Did you pay in interest? Did you pay in mortgage interest, credit card interest, all of that stuff you get back and then also, well, there's more to it. I won't get too deep into it, but you'll get your you'll know whether you're going to get it all in one total – it won’t be broken down, but you’ll know, for example, that your birth certificate was traded, you know, marriage license traded – marriage divorce decree traded on, you know, everything you know, even death certificate was traded on.
There's all kinds of ways that they tried to make money on us. We're going to get that money back. That's our NESARA, N, E, S, A R, a part of this NESARA okay, so that'll be good to look into
Social Security increases I believe will end up being more like first week of December. - I've been told it could happen at the end of this month, but I'm not going to bank on that. I think we're going to get that Social Security increase in December. So be looking for that keep - your eyes open for that.
Bob had mentioned to me. Someone even wrote in and said, What happens if I die? Will my monies or funds be able to be used or picked up by someone else? Well, that is a great question.
And the answer is, do you have your estate planning started at least - yet? Do you have an estate planning attorney that you have worked with a trust for you and and get your desires, your trust, trustees, beneficiaries, successor trustees, all of them, do you have that in case something happens to you, it's something to look into. It's something to look into right away.
And I'm going to tell you that the Wells Fargo wealth management side of the bank will be able to provide services for us. Now, the attorneys that you might want to contact that are specifically estate planning attorneys. You know, I have one, and I've used one that has worked beautifully in putting my estate plan together.
But, you know, from time to time, you have to tweak it, you know, you have to make some changes in it. So definitely that is that is important to make sure you have that and put it in place as soon as possible.
Let me think, well, I don't have an estate now. I don't have, I don't have anything to really bequeath to a beneficiary, but you sure will be after these exchanges. So make sure that you are in contact with the estate planning attorney, and maybe go through wills. Maybe Maybe go through their trust department. Maybe give that a shot.
Or if you have another bank that you like, you know, look at them and see what they have. But that's definitely something that needs to be addressed, and sooner rather than later, they don't really want anybody walking out of the redemption center and having an issue and passing away without a trust in place, but so make sure that you're able to look into that and get that set up as soon as you can.
Okay that way, as soon as you can. So that's the answer to that question. The only way you and I would recommend using estate planning with trusts, because it keeps all of this information private.
See if you didn't have any of that and you had a will say, Oh, well, I got my will. Well, so is everybody else, because everybody else is going to see it. It's public. It becomes public information.
You don't want to just use a will. The only will you want to put out is something called a living will, and that's your final instruction should something happen to you, and it looks like it's the end of life for you, and this is end life type wishes that you want to put in to your living will.
That's a part of your estate plan. Okay, so you want to get that set up too. And if you don't have that, your estate, whatever is left of you will go through probate, and that's where the state takes a piece of the action.
And also can slow down and delay the funding of everything to people that you wish to have the money – So there’s a lot to this, and it's more than an afternoon , but you get it started with an hour or an hour appointment, you can do a really good job on knocking this out.
And then you can always come back with your attorney and tweak it, and come back in and make these fine tuning adjustments to it. And you may want to have new names. You might want to put in new beneficiaries. Might want to change you know, as your family grows and you know people come and go in your family, you might want to look into that too.
All right, so I wanted to say that now Social Security increases. I said, I think it'll be substantial increases – some people that are getting 3300- $3400 $3,500 now might see themselves around 5000 and that won't be that significant to us - again You know the exchanges in zim to redeem, but look, Don't look a gift for us in that, and that's what it's going to be.
Also, I don't believe our Medicare, which everybody's getting bombarded with Medicare calls and Medicare commercials and so on, Medicare was supposed to be free to us, not even cost us the 170 or $200 premium per month is taken out of our social security check right now our direct deposit. That should change under President Trump. We should have that going away and we’ll see, we'll learn more and more in the coming months. Okay, let's see what else before we get to the heart of the matter.
Okay? I think the next piece is what we thought would happen Tuesday, or rather, yesterday- Wednesday and we did not get it. But we're hearing two different things. Two of our sources are saying that we look like we will be notified tomorrow, Friday, depending on what time we get notified -- If it were before noon, could we exchange tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow evening? We believe the answer is yes.
If the numbers don't come out till later in the day, it's setting us up to call set our appointments with and start probably on Saturday. So it's Friday, Saturday right now,
If we had heard besides these two sources, was that we should get notified over the weekend, which starts Friday for them, Friday, Saturday, we would get notified by Saturday with our emails and start our exchanges early next week, like Monday. I don't even want to go to Tuesday, Monday.
Now, yes, that is possible. -- But they the Treasury was looking this thing over pretty carefully, and I thought, rather than do it that day, we'd rather do it a day earlier, which would put us instead of being notified Saturday, then we would get notified Friday. So I'm holding out that it might be tomorrow for us.
I'm not calling it like I just about did on Tuesday night, but it looks very good for us to get this and to have the exchanges at least well underway before Thanksgiving. Remember, for everybody else, R and R comes out Thanksgiving night, that's when it starts to come out, and that will show up in accounts that they know are Social Security bank accounts that can show up in your Social Security accounts as this R and R and blow their minds, I think of a lot of bankers that don’t have a clue what's going on.
So we'll see how that goes. But let's say and you're 30 years old to age 45 in that 15 year old, 15 year gap, you're going to get your R and R over a three year period, once a month, which is 36 months, you'll get an amount directly deposited into your bank account.
Now, if they don't have your bank account for some reason they'll have to send you something to get your bank account information. And if you're a second group, which is age, say, 45 or 46 to age 60, then you get your R and R over a two year period, once a month for two years, say, 24 payments monthly to you, all right, and that'll be good. It'll be substantial. It won't be like getting a lump sum all at once, like if you're 60 or older, and the older you are, the chances are, the bigger the amount.
It's based on how much you paid in taxes paid on how long they traded on your birth certificate, death certificate, Marriage license, fees, all that stuff, all tradable as funds. So that's what I wanted to say about that.
Make sure you get your estate planning set up as soon as you can after the extreme if you've got it set up now and you have your Trust documents bring them in when you do your exchanges and redemption of zim bring them into the redemption center, they will set up a seat read your trust documents - Probably affidavit of trust may do it, but you might need to bring a copy of the entire Trust - that way, they'll be able to to set up your bank account in the name and do that way. And then you can do all that other –
Be prepared and maybe practice. Know what you have to do for your quantum account to activate it.
First of all, you need a fingerprint or thumb print. Take a hand, any hand, I don't know if it'll matter, but you will have that -- then you need a username that'll be brand new. For the username that'll be brand new, you'll have a five digit PIN code that you'll have that you will create that'll be brand new. You'll have an email, a brand new email, that you'll be setting up. And of course, you need a new password to get into your email.
So however many things that is I think 7 you're going to need, you might want to write a few things down so that you take them in and you're sort of ready to go on your quantum ready to go on getting the quantum card.
They will print those cards out for you. Okay, they'll have them there when you go in, as you sit down, and you go through, you give up your currencies, and they go ahead and count them. And they'll do that, leave machine counting all that stuff, and you're talking about the rates of the currencies and so on. They're offering you -- what we believe they're going to offer us at the redemption center, ONLY – only - O N L Y only
You're going to get a contract rate offered to you on dinar - I've told you 100 times what the Zim is going to be worth –if you are redeeming zim -- Dong is going to be a great rate, way better than certain people thought it would ever be. And then the other currencies are doing well too.They're all going to be good. And credit has set this up where we will get the highest potential available rates through the redemption centers.
Now let's talk about the redemption centers for a minute' they’ve got the leaders that send
out the emails to the redemption centers, and the leaders that send them out to the banks have received their emails for both Redemption center and banks to be sent out.
And our understanding is that they will probably go out sometime tomorrow. I don't know when it will be morning, before noon - quite likely that it would be -- and then they the leaders in the ……
All right, let me explain - so certain people east and west of the Mississippi River are in charge of getting those numbers out to the redemption center leaders and all the redemption centers across this country. Canada has their deal. We have ours.
Mexico is using primarily Bucha Santander and HSBC might be some other banks too, maybe, BANK OF Mexico - I don't know, but I would say this, keep an eye on your email tomorrow. Let's see if they come in and then set your appointment if you need some time to get all your act together, go ahead and take the time you need. You don't have to be the first one in. You know, I like to get mine done tomorrow. I'd like to tomorrow night, but if I have to go Saturday, that's cool, too. It doesn't matter that much.
So if this comes through as we're being told, and we do get it tomorrow, praise God, that's great. We're off and running,
if it comes in Saturday and we can exchange on Saturdays, would probably be the first of the week. But we want to get this knocked out as many as we can before next Thursday for Thanksgiving. Will they exchange on Thanksgiving? I would not put it past them. I would say it's possible that certain people could exchange on that day.
The people that are working in the redemption centers might work that shift. Might be three shifts, and they get up or that afternoon and they've had their Thanksgiving or morning, and they have their Thanksgiving that afternoon, or evening.
I mean, I would not be surprised if they do exchanges on Thursday. not saying, though that they might. And they go through with this until they've got all the Zim in as soon as possible. Of course, that's their first concern. And then after that, you know, all the other currencies
I think that's everything I wanted to cover, All right, that’s what I wanted to say about that, guys, I just hope the intel that we have today is just solid and everything is good to go for tomorrow. Our sources are saying tomorrow, the others are saying it could be Friday, but it should be over the weekend, which starts Friday, tomorrow, and then we've exchanged, if not Saturday, then starting Monday. So let's see how this goes for us. And let's go ahead and pray the call out and we'll look forward to having a fantastic weekend and a very blessed day.
Well, thanks everybody. So let's see what happens in the next couple of days, and we'll take it from there, all right, and we'll get in touch with you. Bye. Eve, make sure you're registered with your email on big call universe.com. Okay. And we'll be in touch with you about our projects. Okay, thanks so much. Have a great night, and a great weekend coming up.
CAN THE POPULATION CENSUS SUCCEED IN DRAWING A NEW ECONOMIC POLICY IN IRAQ?
The Iraqi government is preparing to conduct a general population census on November 20, the first census to include all regions of Iraq in nearly 4 decades.
Iraq witnessed the last general population census that included all its governorates in 1987, and although the country conducted another population census in 1997, the latter did not include the governorates of the Kurdistan Region, because they were semi-independent from Iraq during the era of the former regime.
The population census represents a vital tool for formulating economic policies based on updated facts and data that enhance the government’s ability to achieve comprehensive and balanced economic growth, while addressing economic and social challenges.
On the subject, the financial and banking specialist, Mustafa Hantoush, said in an interview with / Al-Maalouma / Agency that the Iraqi state’s funds are scattered and it does not know where to direct them or where to start the development process, indicating that “The general population census is full of positives and has no negatives.”
He comes added, “There are no higher policies or clear lines to work on, and every country that puts forward its ideas far from the needs of society, and the population census will end this chaos by clarifying a number of important matters.”
He pointed out that “Iraq has clear economic problems in work, housing and diversifying the economy, and the state cannot solve them except by conducting a general population census.”
For his part, economic expert Dhurgham Muhammad confirmed that the results of the general population census will help the government reach a realistic formula and vision during the preparation and amendment of next year’s budget schedules, while he pointed out the necessity of having a real reading of the future of oil prices for next year in order to determine a reasonable price for a barrel of oil that will be adopted by the 2025 budget.
Mohamed Ali said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “The amendments to the 2025 budget schedules will depend scientifically and realistically on the results of the general population census that will be conducted at the end of this month,” indicating that “the census Results will give the government clarity when conducting transfers and drawing up realistic development plans.”
He added that “the authorities responsible for preparing the budget must re-read it for the future of oil prices and adopt an appropriate and realistic price that is consistent with the expectations of global oil market experts, when preparing the schedules for next year, as Most indicators confirm a decrease in oil prices for security and economic reasons.”
Recently, rumors have spread on social media that the general population census will lead to the cutting of welfare salaries or the imposition of new taxes on citizens.
In this context, MP Aref Al-Hamami said in an interview with Al-Maalouma, “What is being said is inaccurate and we deny it completely and in detail through our close knowledge of the census’s progress and its great benefits in preparing the country’s strategic Plans for decades in terms of economy and development.”
He pointed out that “effective participation with the provision of accurate information will ensure the existence of comprehensive data that gives the government a vision in drawing the foundations of its future plans directly.”
The general population census will be launched on the 20th and 21st of this month in all Iraqi governorates, which will include a curfew. About 120,000 enumerators will participate in the census, while the Ministry of Planning confirmed that this census will contribute to knowing the real numbers of the population and the living conditions that will be invested for development purposes.
(The key wording in this VERY IMPORTANT census is “in all governorates”. This will be an all inclusive census to develop Iraq as an all-inclusive country and not sectarian as past federal governments did.)
MZ: Bond news is all over the place and we are trying to figure out what is real and what is not. They thought they were supposed to be paid last night….now its before the weekend or over the weekend…we are getting a lot of different stories from different people.
MZ: One group leader did say they may actually get paid Sunday night to Monday morning. So there is a little chatter on that front.
EXCHANGE RATES WILL RISE FURTHER.. WARNING OF AN IMMINENT ECONOMIC CRISIS DUE TO THE “COLDNESS” OF THE CENTRAL BANK
Economic researcher Ziad Al-Hashemi warned of serious economic repercussions as the deadline to stop the dollar platform approaches in six weeks, noting that the Central Bank of Iraq is still dealing with the crisis coldly, which could lead to higher exchange rates and a shortage of imported materials.
Al-Hashemi explained in a post on the X platform that “dollar platform transfers represent about 22% of the total monthly transfers, which is a large number that has not yet been zeroed out, indicating that the continuation of this high percentage and its failure to adapt it to the new correspondent bank transfer system before the specified date may cause major disturbances in the markets.”
He added that “not addressing this issue will lead to some of the remittances going to the parallel market, which will increase the demand for the dollar and raise its exchange rate significantly, which will negatively affect the prices of goods and services in the Iraqi market. He also expected that this will hinder the ability of a large number of traders to import, which will cause a shortage of imported goods and an increase in their prices.”
He pointed out that “the Central Bank seems to be betting on a smooth transition process without problems, but it considered this bet unrealistic in light of the absence of a clear plan to manage the transitional phase.”
Al-Hashemi concluded his warnings by saying, “The Central Bank has only six weeks to act and manage this crisis, otherwise the delay will lead to disastrous results that will cast a shadow over the Iraqi economy by the end of this year.”
(There repercussions of the dollar platform will not happen if the sole peg to the dollar is also repegged away from the dollar and the demand for the dinar by global trading is realized. Many more banks “correspondent” banks will take up the exchange slack and avert any issues. But to do this means getting the reinstatement back to FOREX. Is this the plan? Is this why the remaining 22% does not seem to bother the CBI? Do they know something the author of this article does not know?)
