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 Morning….RV there yet?????

Member: Hi Mark! lots of internet chitchat! What are you hearing???

MZ: on the bond side…there are many key meetings today and tomorrow . A number of contacts are believing  they will complete their transactions. We may have the top 25 groups done by Thursday ish…..that would be one heck of a kick off . I believe this will give us the necessary number to pull the trigger on a revaluation. .  

Member: mark, what do you think the hold up really is? what could they be waiting for?

Member: We keep checking the boxes, but still have no RV. I don’t get it. Wish I did.

MZ: the news is great and we just need it to come to fruition. 

Member: Could they possibly be waiting for audits to be finished on the Fed. Reserve, The UST and Ft. Knox?????

Member: So then 3-10 days until we go after the 30 percent of bonds threshold is reached. ?

​​Member: DOW up 528

MZ: Its pivoting.  Possible brakes going on in the trade war. 

Member: You have said you will open a multi currency account. Will you do this at your exchange apt.?

MZ: I was told at our appointment they are just getting us in….exchanging into your account and then you out the door. They will give you a contact number at your first appointment  for wealth manager ect….to set all that up in your next appointments

Member:  How long do you think we will have to redeem once we receive notifications?

Member: Mark always said 10 days to make appointments and 30 days to exchange…..unless they have changed it of course. 

MZ: I believe 30 days to exchange is the bare minimum. We will have plenty of time to exchange. 

Member: Do I have to go to a large financial bank for exchg? I called my local WFargo and then a Chase 400 miles from me and they said they don't exhg IQD. Do I need to go to a large metro area? Thanks

Member: We were told that most people will have an exchange center within 50 miles of them. But if you live in rural areas …you will have to drive further. 

Member: we won’t know exactly where to exchange until it is time, they will have several options

Member: are you hearing anything about rates on Bank screens?

Member: TS reported yesterday that the HSBC had VND on their screens yesterday morning

MZ: That would fit what my contacts are seeing. One of those is a HSBC. 

Member: How much did it say the VND was worth?

Member: VND .49 or 2.50? 

MZ: That is not nearly the rates my contacts have seen

Member: TNT said yesterday that VND rates were $1.80- $1.85. 

MZ: There are a good chance that all rates being seen are testing rates……may or may not be the rates we will get. 

Member: Mark- do have a guess on the IQD rate?

MZ: Logically – what makes the most sense is $4-$6 bucks. IMO

Member: Do you think Trump’s Sovereign Wealth fund will be funded with IQD?

MZ: Possibly. A high possibility. Foreign currency reserves count towards it. 

Member: isn’t our president supposed to be out of the country for the RV or Nesara announcements?

MZ: Well he will be attending the Pope’s funeral …but I do not think he will have to be out of the country for us to go. He is the first who wants the RV…Other presidents had fought it tooth and nail. 

MZ: In Iraq: “ Sudani: we work according to a vision that advances Iraq’s higher interests first away from emotions”  They are nearing the end of the united nations missions to Iraq. They are letting us know they are ready, safe and secure

MZ: “Calls for encouraging citizens to deposit into Iraqi banks” only 40% of Iraqis regularly use banking. The majority of the currency is not in the banking system. There are many articles about this….

Member:  There is "newly discovered" $16T in Uranium and Thorium in Iraq...(Iraq is 7th in Gold

MZ: they have had a whole bunch of economic discoveries this month. 

MZ: “China is in economic dire straits….and they are unable to hide it.”  We are their biggest trading customer….and shipping containers are empty….people are not getting paid….who is going to blink first? Negotiations are heating up. 

Member: I feel like we are all standing next to the RV Road with our Thumbs in the air.

Member: hopefully this month is still in play….Keep praying and stay positive. 

MilitiaMan joins for a short time today. Please listen to the replay for his opinions and information

TIDBIT FROM MILITIAMAN, 23 APRIL

 Militia Man  

When's this going to happen?  What else is going to delay it?  

Is there [a delay] or is it just an interlinking?  Is it a synchronization?  It could very well be because it's a complex situation.. .

Pairing currencies all at the same time, everybody's got to be on the same page or it doesn't work...

There can be shocks in markets.  I would think the IMF, the Bank of International Settlements, World Bank, US Treasury, US Federal Reserve Bank...know a lot more than we do.  All central banks know a lot more than we do...
