Hello family and friends,

I am Thankful to be able to celebrate my 62nd birthday at home. Having spent the last 174 days in the ICU and Trauma centers of two hospitals. It was a long 174 days!!!

Let me take time and tell you MY story, as this may help someone ….

Last July 2nd 2013, I thought I had stomach flu….and I went to bed. One week later, I thought I had a bladder/UTI INFECTION…..burning and pain. I went to the DR.—he gave me a 10 day script for antibiotics…and sent me home.

On July 16th, Gary, my husband of 39 years had a massive heart attack and died while I did CPR on him, waiting for the ambulance. My Life changed at that very moment. I lost my best friend, my business partner, my husband, my confidant, my soul mate….The love of my LIFE. There was no more a gentleman than Gary. I miss him more and more as the days go on.

I instantly ended up with his 92 year old bedridden Mother to care for…..2 dogs…..3 cats.. 3 bedroom home…2 cars…..etc. These were all things he took care of.

I immediately lost all insurances—from his 24 years of employment with the ST. Petersburg Times. (he was 4 months from being a 25 year retiree.)

I also lost his income….along with his 25 year retirement plan.

Our life insurance policies had apparently been sold off to a company that was now out of business….so the $50,000.00 Life Insurance policy was gone. Gary ‘thought’ he left me in good condition financially…..however……………The cost of his cremation….the July, Aug, Sept. and Oct. mortgage and household bills ‘ate’ the money in our checkbook.

So, I sold a car….got rid of cell phones…carved back as many expenses as I could, including closing a 30 year old business.

At the same time, I still was not feeling well…with bouts of stomach/gut distresses. The smell of food cooking made me sick. I basically ate fruits and cereal, Chicken noodle soup, and water for 3 months, losing 50 # in those 90 days. I went back to the DR. –he recommended that I go to a UROLOGIST.

LESSON #1: CHECK YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VALID LIFE INSURANCE POLICY…TO ALLOW THOSE PEOPLE THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR REMAINS TO BE ABLE TO DO SO WITHOUT FINANCIAL BURDENS AND STRESS. PREPARE FOR THAT TIME.THERE ARE NO “DO OVERS”.

______________________________________________________________________________

A dear friend (Edie) came to my rescue the night Gary died. Edie worked for me for 10 years…and knows my habits….my way of thinking….who I am. She took over my home……taking care of the 92 year old bed ridden mother-in-law….the animals....cooking, cleaning etc. I was in a fog.

I was able to have the funeral, and the cremation, donate the body parts that were viable……I was not feeling well but I had enough sense to “shop” funerals and cremation. I found prices that were STAGGERING.

LESSON #2: SHOP THE PRICES FOR THESE SERVICES IN ADVANCE. THE COSTS VARY BY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THE EXACT SAME SERVICES. DON’T MAKE YOUR FAMILY BE FORCED INTO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT CORRECT. (I was quoted from $995.00 to $4,000.00 for a basic 30 minute funeral and cremation. BIGGGGGGGG DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!)

_________________________________________________________

While in a fog of the death of my husband, I was feeling worse. Knowing I was now without health insurance, I made excuses to my family and Edie and employees…that I felt better…and I was getting stronger…and felt OK.

I had NEVER lived without health insurance and when I tried to find a new DR., as my original G.P. ..And NEUROLOGIST wouldn’t see me without insurance…..I found that the ONLY way I could get medical help was a ‘WALK-IN CLINIC’….which I did. ONLY TO BE REFERRED TO AN UROLOGIST. In my hunt..I was unable to find one that would see me without insurance. SO, at 61 years of age…without insurance…..I was stuck…getting sicker and sicker by the day. Everyone tried to get me to go to a DR. –my response was always the same…..I can’t find one that would see me without insurance.

I lost my core of balance…hugging walls and corners as I went from my bed to the bathroom….that’s when I knew I was really really sick Edie made the decision for me as she knew I was literally on deaths door step…and she called 911.

I spent the first 12 days in ICU—fighting to stay alive with 7 IV pumps running with antibiotics…..a total blood transfusion….a heart catheter with a direct line to my heart, a picc-line (Peripherally Inserted central catheter) in my right arm with 3 ports and every tube known to man down my nose and throat.…..a bladder and rectal (uck) catheter, so “pee and poop’ was going into catheter bags. I was a toxic mess.

I had CT and MRI’S done of my bladder, colon, and stomach. They found I had a vesicointestional fistula and Diverticulitis. So my bladder and my colon both had holes…and my “pee” was LEAKING in my body cavity and my “poop” was in my bladder. I literally was “peeing’ poop. The bladder is not designed to pass anything except liquids. The pain was incredibly horrid. For 13 weeks, I was on Morphine, Dilaudid and Demerol. These heavy duty drugs took the edge off the pain temporarily and then, an hour later it was back.

The Regional Hospital I was in claimed they didn’t have a surgeon that could do the surgery. It was too high risk….and they didn’t have the ability or talent to do the surgery. The regional hospital was purchased by the BAYFRONT MEDICAL TRAUMA GROUP and that opened up other options and DR’S.

Finally, at 61 years of age, I was classified as Medically Needy and I went onto MEDICAID.

On my 40th wedding anniversary 1/18, I transported to one of the best TRAUMA centers in FLORIDA for IMMEDIATE surgery. Six surgeons….seven hours in the Operating Room…AND 58 STAPLES TO CLOSE THE INCISION…from my chest to crotch….no colostomy bags!!!! The miracle hands of DR. Steve Epstein and his Team……I’m alive.

Dr. Epstein is a Critical, High Risk, Trauma Surgeon at the BAYFRONT MEDICALTRAUMA CENTER in ST.PETERSBURG, FLA... Just in case YOU are ever faced with LIFE AND DEATH. He was trained in both Belgium and France.

The surgery went very well…

The team fixed/repaired the hole in my bladder, rebuilt the URETERS…which are the tubes that drain the urine from the kidneys to the bladder, Removed 22” of my colon… built a wall between the bladder and the colon…..reconnected everything, cleaned out the mess in my body cavity and put it all (uterus, bladder, colon and stomach) back into my body cavity. (I’ve seen the pictures of what was done….and they are really UGLY,…not pretty.) I also have 3 VENA CAVA filters to catch the blood clots in my system, as there were many clots in my GUTS.

I really was on the doorstep of DEATH. I didn’t notify anyone. I didn’t want visitors…I didn’t watch TV for 3 months….I was just too sick.

LESSON #3

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF BEING ILL, SICK, WITHOUT INSURANCE, GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM…THEY LEGALLY HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.

MY MEDICAL BILLS WERE $1,200,000.00 SO FAR…AND MEDICAID HAS APROVED PAYMENT ON EVERYTHING. ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH DON’T HESITATE ON GOING TO THE E.R.

OUR HEALTH SYSTEM IS REALLY A MESS….AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. NO THANKS TO OBUMMER.

IF YOU NEED MEDICAL HELP GO TO THE E.R.!!!!!

_______________________________________________________________________

Now to my recuperation.

Because I lost my core of gravity…and I’ve been in bed since last JULY, I’ve lost muscle mass and will need Physical therapy and learn to walk again. I currently can NOT get out of bed. This is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever been through. My bed is my ‘JAIL.’ (This is a hospital bed from a medical supply company that Medicaid is also paying for…)

I’ve located a Dr. that will come to me…to take blood for tests as I am on blood thinners to prevent more clots……the DR. will write the prescriptions for in home physical therapy, and nursing assistance etc.

It will take a few months of therapy….but I WILL WALK AGAIN.

In the meantime, I’ve reconnected to an “old” business partner, and we are working on a business model for a new business…in the medical world. Within a couple of months we should have everything ready to launch, which will provide me income and peace of mind.

I hate living on the edge financially…….and that is what brings me to saying a heartfelt THANK YOU to each of you that stepped forward when the CASPER EMAILS came out with the financial request of donations. You have no idea how much I appreciated what you did. I don’t know who contributed…or how much you sent….

I do know……..Your donations kept the electricity, phone and water on in my home….and my car tag current. Your assistance lifted a ton of stress off of me…when I was fighting to stay alive. I know many of you dug deep into your already empty pockets to help me, and I just want to hug each of you for doing this.

The economy is horrid……people are suffering….and we all need relief!

The Casper emails will return….we we are in our 3rd decade with our FAVORITE AGGRAVATION.


TWENTY PLUS YEARS OF THIS CHASE AGAINST THE EVIL, WICKED AND NASTIEST BASTARDS ON EARTH.



Inclosing, again, THANK YOU for your help. I can’t begin to say it loud enough or strong enough. I can say, I will Pay it Forward as soon as I am able. THAT IS A PROMISE.

You will be receiving emails from Wendycasper777@gmail.com.

You can send emails to that account. Please don’t send the stuff from 4winds…or RMN OR DRUDGE OR THE DINAR SITES…both CASPER AND I monitor these sites several times daily.

Should you have the ability to donate funds to assist me with the offshore servers and keeping the ‘lights on’, you can use PAYPAL with the wendycasper777@gmail.com account info.

Wendy and Casper are back!

I love you and pray for you all every day. That’s a promise.



-WENDY

Tim, the Carpet Man, send me your phone number and I’ll call you.

TNT

Action step: Tony asked us to tweet our support and increased numbers.  If you don’t know how to tweet, here is the link to the youtube video:  Link to the youtube video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw5YLD0UNyY

Tony:  Good morning, TNT!  I am super-fantastic.  It is Monday May 12, 2014, at 11am Pacific time.  We delayed the call on purpose because we hoped it would be a more important call.  We have 25,000 people on the call.  I am waiting to see if DC shows up.

This call has a different feel.  I felt guilty for not giving you information over the weekend.  ON talking with our intel team, we talked about our job here, which is to talk care of the people, and give you our best understanding and try not to mess anything up while we do it.  ON Friday we were asked not to do the call. Wednesday we were asked to tread lightly.  On Friday, we were asked not to do the call because they were looking for ANY excuse to justify NOT doing it, and especially waiting for our call to give us that reason not to do it… or a caller getting all upset… and we didn’t give them that opportunity.

What we know is that the calls have been made, Iraq has notified everyone about their RI, and they were going to do what they need to do, with or without support.  What happened?  Absolutely nothing. They did make the announcement and open their banks up on Friday evening, and had people exchanging currency.  That happened on Friday as it was supposed to.  We wanted to see what would happen today, which is not over with.  We have passed the timeframe to get things done, and they weren’t done. Nothing happened on Saturday or Sunday.  Some people still don’t want this to happen, and they are going all out to block it. There is another group going all out to make sure it does happen… and we know who is winning because we are not at the bank yet.

Iraqi contractors were paid yesterday at 3.71;  they were told not to worry, that they can live their lives.  On Iraqi television, they are saying that Iraq is now ready for global banking;  it’s scrolling on the bottom of the screen right now.  They are announcing this to their people right this minute.  So while we feel good about what’s going on over there, over here it’s a different story. Every bank has told their people that they are not going back in or on shifts in the exchange locations until it actually happens.  Their people are tired of going in and having nothing happen.  That’s where they are today, although one bank does have exchange people in.  They have said this before, and they have sent their people in over the last week, and having the rates on the screens, but after Friday they say they are not playing any more.  They want to get a call after it has been released and then they will sent someone down to the exchange and call centers.  I don’t blame them – it has been costing them millions.

In Iraq, our contact has been ecstatic because he got his payment at the correct rate.

We know we will get a whole lot of nonsense over the weekend, with different strategies, and rates that don’t make sense.  The bonds, cards and contractors are all being paid at over $3, so those other rates just don’t make sense.  They stopped what we expected on Friday, and went back to the table and renegotiated this and that.  Some people are saying “You tried to do something over the weekend and we’re not going for it.”  The reasons we were hearing before were about our nation and people, but I don’t know what it’s about now.  We’re hearing about different strategies about the elections and such, and we’ll see afterwards.

We have people in DC who are absolutely positively trying to help us.  What we don’t know is whether they need OUR help to get this through?  This is the dangerous part, in terms of what people hear me saying.  I am going to speak English, but people still hear what they want to hear, and turn it the way they want to turn it.  There are people in DC who are helping us, making sure we are included in this process.  Again, I am not sure if they need our help.  I’ve sent out messages that we have their backs.  One thing in great concern was our twitter campaign and our numbers.  So this is what I ask you to do:

Go on Twitter and simply say “Tony I am ready, and I am bringing in five new people to support us”.

If you start anything else before we need it, that will give them the excuse to block this again.  We want them to know we are real and that the numbers are there, so that if/when we have to kick it up on Wednesday, we are ready and able to make that happen.  On Twitter, just say “I am ready and I can bring in 5-10 new people as well”, get them signed up on Twitter and ready to go.

I’m not hearing a reason apart from it being personal to this or that person.  It has been released to the IMF, and they can do it when they feel it is justified. But formally releasing something and actually releasing it are two different things.  Many organizations have a formal leader and an informal leader they actually follow.  We need to be careful about this.  This is a careful call.  No one is causing an issue, but we are prepared to support the right people.  We still have everything we had before, with the numbers.

This is what doesn’t work:  for you to threaten people, or be negative, and then we don’t accomplish anything.  Why would you warn someone before hurting them or not voting for them, or whatever. That’s what you do after the fact, if there is any reason to do it.  We’ll let bygones be bygones, as long as that is not about greed or covering things up.  It’s not about being negative or threatening anyone, or calling congress people or whatever.  We just want them to know our numbers.

They know right now that we could effectively reach 2.5 million people from TNT, based on their research.  I want to get that up to five million, so they know they have to be doubly concerned.  Our support team needs to know we are there, available and ready to help them, if required.  We need to tell them right now, and each get another ten people signed up on twitter.  That is the action item for today, and do it the right way so they don’t have any excuse to block it any further.

Other than that, do I still expect this today?  Pam, can I tell them?  I got an email that is a bit convoluted.  Basically, it says that the UAE market will close from 1.50 to 2 o’clock their time to verify the readiness of the application, meaning a change in rates of emerging markets, determining trading rates this Wednesday.  That is a news article over there, so they want the world to know.  I do have the link to this article, and possibly someone will put it in the forum.

We are getting conflicting information about the RI over there.  However, it follows the same pattern as last time, when the contractors got paid first and then the banks followed suit.  What time? We’ll have to see.

I think we are in a good place.  I still think it should have happened over the weekend. They agreed a date – Saturday – and it still didn’t go because some are still fighting against it.  This is where we are right now, today, so you know why we did the calls the way we did last week. That is what everyone agreed to, and it didn’t happen, and that’s why some countries are saying some people are no longer trustworthy, and this will make things more difficult for those people in the future.

Please bring in your extra people RIGHT NOW, so that they can see Twitter is working today.  On Wednesday we will get ready to do whatever they need us to do. They have been helping us, and we want to support them.  With one phone call, we can mobilize five million people, if that’s what it needs to be.  Someone contact DC and tell him it’s safe to come on the line.

I said:  DO NOT THREATEN ANYONE.  Simply send out a tweet saying “Tony, I’m on board, and I can bring in 5 or 10 new people.   We have the back of those supporting us in DC.  We can support you at a moment’s notice on Twitter, FB, Instagram.  We are here to support this, not to start anything.”  We are not trying to be negative or threatening, just to let them know that we are here and ready if they block us from being part of this or getting access to the rates we deserve. They think we are only 2.5 million, and we can get to five million easily, and we want to show them.  Let’s build up our numbers and let them know we are ready and energized, so they know we are ready to back them up.  This is simple. It’s not about contacting congress people.  By Wednesday, they will contact me and ask for the specific help they want to finalize this.  So build up the numbers so that we can be 100% ready to help and support those who have been supporting us.

Why would you want to bring ten more people in?  Hopefully, those are people who already have dinar.  We’ll also bring extra people in, if necessary – if we do that times ten, then 60 million will be asking questions. Right now, all we are doing is letting those who supporting us know that we are supporting them. We can do that instantly, and they will take notice.  The BBC did an article, and they took notice;  I was on the front page of an Iraqi newspaper.  There are eleven countries on this call, and they will take notice!

303 caller:  In a spirit of brotherly affection, you have my profound respect for taking on all this.  However, I do have an issue with some policies and position.  I believe that you are cloaking those blocking this process, and if you were to post their names tomorrow, they would receive so much bad press that they couldn’t tolerate it.  I wish you would reconsider that and let us know who is stalling all this.

There was a report that CL had an envelope with a date and time for release;  is that what you were talking about for Saturday?

Tony:  I don’t know anything about an envelope in her hand.  The date was over the weekend and the timeframe has passed.

Caller:  The IMF had asked the UST to affirm the RI before the RV could commence…

Tony: Everyone signed off on the RI three weeks ago, including the US.  They never thought Maliki would do it, plu they wanted the RV rate, not the RI, and when they wanted it, not when M did it.  But he did do it, and there was a timeframe associated with it, from the agreement when they signed it off.  They got an extension, perhaps, but things are still happening now. There was an agreement, it was not lived up to by certain people, and the reason is what we are concerned with now.  When will it happen?  That’s what we want to find out.

Caller:  Mtn Goat says that there are trades going on and the bankers and investors are making gazillions for every day of delay, then run the rate back down to the starting rate. Why would they agree to an RV when they are making billions from the stalls? Why wouldn’t that extend indefinitely?

Tony:  If they are doing that, they’re not doing it on the regular forex or markets, or we would see it.  IF they are doing it on a secondary level, they’ve been doing it for the last five years. I told you that two years ago.  They always do that, and when the rate changes, they will do it at a higher rate. That’s not something we can influence, so it’s just a way of upsetting people.  That’s the way of the world and it’s how they do business.

When it comes to individuals, and congress people and their friends/relations getting paid when we are not, that is a separate issue.

Caller:  Is this going to happen in May?

Tony:  It should have happened this last weekend, and for the last two weeks. M has announced it to his country, they have paid the contractors, and he is doing his best to push it out there.  The IMF says they are supporting that but they still haven’t released it, and I don’t know why.  IF the delays are lining the pockets of the elite, then we need to get on twitter and let everyone know that we support those in DC who support us.  They can get us that information in a single phone call and we can act on it if necessary.

Ray reminds me that you need to include “#wearethepeople” in your tweets so that it trends. Let’s do that and see what happens.  We know everything else.  The majority of you have trusted us up until now, and we know exactly when it’s time to name names.  Until I see the absolute benefit – you have no idea who these people are, and we only want to do this when we will get the maximum benefit from our actions.

301 caller:  If you had several entities and the RV occurred at, say, $4, what is the maximum amount you would want in each entity? Is there is an amount to stay under?

Tony:  I don’t know.  I don’t have a maximum amount.  You’d have to call a bank and ask them if there is any maximum.  For most who have enough money to be concerned, there will be other options anyway.

Caller:  Were people paid out on Friday, in the US?

Tony:  No.  I’m not under that impression. Those who have done their SKRs were given credit cards with 10K that they could use. They were all excited, but everyone who used them now have credit card payments because it still hasn’t happened.  That was useless, got people excited about nothing, because they didn’t get paid.

We have a special guest for you guys… someone must have told him I said he was scared.  I told them about Friday, Saturday, Sunday, the contractor who got paid at 3.78, told them the negative side and positive side… still people trying to stop it… told them about Twitter already and how they can support those supporting us.  That could be Wednesday or in the next hour.  I said I wish you were here so you could give the exact numbers so we can see how we support them…

DC:  Okay!  About 250,000 follow Twitter with about 100K retweeting.  They believe that this starts conversations and start actions, so they think that the circle of influence is about 2.5 million. We don’t control all those, but Twitter has that kind of access.

Tony:  Give us an overview of where we’re at.  DC, speak to us!

DC:  I’m sorry, I was still working… on the side of caution, Iraq is extremely ready, they are highly frustrated that the US has subverted their attempts in the last few days, for various reasons.  They are ready and have given out announcements and banking, then had to stop and back up. That is frustrating for them, and not good practice to jerk them around and everyone else.  Some game-playing by the usual individuals have caused delays, but we believe that is coming along nicely.  On the US side, we were on the ½ inch line for 36 hours, with some near touchdowns, but were called back.  A few days ago, we were back to the five or ten yard line, now offense has made another major play and got us close again.  A lot of very positive things have started happening again.  I know this is a bit mixed.  If it causes an issue we will clear it up.

Tony:  There are good and bad people.  This should have been resolved over the weekend, and we are hearing good things, and the same people are blocking it. If that is just people being greedy or just trying to change so that we don’t get it, then we’ll do what we need to do, such as disclosing it to the world.  We are not threatening anyone, but we are letting those supporting us know that we are supporting them. So let’s change our numbers to five million, and ask them to bring in ten each as well.  We are very prepared to do what we can to support those guys.

352 caller:  You keep mentioning 3.78 exchange overseas.  When we go in, will we still get a better contract rate?  How does that affect us?

DC:  The contract rates are still available because the oil credit deal is still there.  Also, the way they have accepted the RI and some other documentation means that unless the US becomes a complete idiot, that contract is very much in place. There will be different levels available, with higher taxes and restrictions (option A), medium taxes+restrictions (option B) or international rates without restrictions (option C).  We understand those three options are still in play.

Caller:  Let’s get this done!  Move that bucket of sand that they keep dropping pebble from into the works.

Tony:  Eventually this has to happen, we know that!

602 caller:  In all this discussion in the last few weeks, the dong has dropped out of sight.  If China is the big recipient for all that good stuff, why would that (dong) not come out at the same time?

Tony:  You almost answered your own question!  The dong was supposed to come out with an RV. If the RI is just the dinar, then the dinar is by itself.  Possibly, the RV will come out at a later date that is pretty close.  Do they want that?  Probably not.  Now they are thinking about how to fix that issue. They never expected Maliki to declare the RI, and some feel that screws up many things because it was not what they expected.  It’s all got very complicated, and it puts the wrong people at a disadvantage…

Caller:  It always seems to be something new coming up to block this;  in reality, is it possible that the one thing that needs to be completed is that we still don’t see Iraq has settled everything with the Kurds, the power/money split, so the budget can be finalized and then it is done, done, done.

Tony:  They have already approved and released 80% of their budget and the remaining 20% is the RV!  They have announced a power-sharing agreement in place after the election.  This is no longer the issue. Iraq is not the issue;  they have done everything they needed to do.  They opened the banks, they paid people on their cards and they paid their contractors.

DC:  Iraq is very prepared.  They have already renegotiated their agreements in a very calm way, they are very prepared for the new coalition government, and they are ready.

Caller:  So lock up the guys causing the problem and get it done, then let them out!
Part 2

818 caller:  could part of the problem be that the people have already been taken care of have moved their money to Europe and they are making money off that?

Tony:  If they already got their money, they moved their money and they are getting interest on it, why would they be blocking the RV?  They are not getting interest on dollars because they converted it to euros.  Now they get to move it to other places with higher rates, because they are restricted until this RV happens. There are more people leaving the House and the Senate than ever before so that they can have access to this money.  They have been exposed, they know we know who they are, so there is no point doing that.  There are too many other countries agreeing with Iraq, ever our own allies saying ‘enough is enough’, and that is why we are saying to those in DC that if they need our help, we are more than willing to do this. We are ready, willing and able to support them as they supported us.

Caller:  I know what you are going through because I’m going through a bit of it with the people I am supporting.  Thank you.

DC: Some of the folks in opposition for their own set of reasons or personal gain, they would like to have Tony or others cause a giant security concern, if people start making threats and such, so that they can then say “we have a huge security issue” and close this down.  That’s what they are looking for, as an excuse.

Tony:  One person on Twitter is saying “Tony, 10-20% of the people on your team have no dinar, and we want you to help us, too”.  I don’t know how to help.  We affected the first basket by giving you the rates to the dong, and the rupiah, and the zim;  people went and bought more, and they had to do new calculations, and then they have another excuse to start over.  Other than that, I’m not sure what question you need help with. Those are what we are looking at:  the dinar, dong, zim and rupiah in the first basket.  The formulae have changed several times because the reactions on the call to those currencies.  We are willing to talk about the US economy;  we cannot talk about other currencies in depth.  We have talked about investment, but not about specific things in the second basket and what those rates will be, not until afterwards.

817 caller:  Did Kuwait have to go through all this when their currency revalued?  Like it being prolonged?  I mean the people in the government.

Tony:  Did the people themselves have to go through these changes?  They weren’t concerned with us until we made ourselves visible.  They thought they would just give us dribbles of knowledge because they thought we wouldn’t know any better, and we weren’t part of their plan anyway.  This was just supposed to be their rich buddies.  We are blessed to be here, and now we are here, we make a difference. They don’t care about our survival.  Are they concerned about what we know and can expose and what we can tell the general public and the situation that could cause?  Absolutely!

DC:  In the Kuwait RV, there really weren’t that many ordinary folks that were affected.  Only politically well-connected people made a lot of money, and soldiers who had money in their pockets and passing through.  I had friends who have money in their pockets and forgot to exchange, and they made a couple thousand dollars. 

Whereas in this situation, they are doing this as another piece of the action, and not for what affect it has on us.  Some are doing these delays for reasons they think are good, even if I don’t agree with those reasons.  For others…

Caller:  How long can this go on, how much longer can they keep the CBI from showing the RI, and the agreements that have been signed.

DC: This is uncharted territory.  They have used parsing of sentences to delay it this long (by two weeks).  We have already passed the stated deadlines.  This is way beyond my understanding.  I really don’t know;  I just don’t have a straight answer.

602 caller:  If you don’t have a receipt, but you do have the original envelope with your name on it, can that be used.

DC:  I think any paperwork is good.  If you bought it directly from a dealer, you should be okay. If you bought it with a friend, that is a bit more iffy.  It would be helpful to show the name and dates when it was shipped.

Caller:  I have those, but the original computer crashed and don’t have the people or numbers any more, but I do have the original envelope it came in.

Tony:  That should be okay.

DC:  Pam just text me a tweet that I’m going to read out, and we could find some better wording : “You continue to kiss up to the powers that be, how stupid are you?”

Tony:  This is from Barbara Pait?  “Now tweeting will release a global event;  you continue to kiss up to the powers that be, how stupid are you?”

DC: This IS a global event.  How stupid are you?  You can ask my wife.  When you live in the real world and talk to people in the know… this is much more complex than you think.  I get frustrated and angry, and so does Tony.  I understand that.  However, this is more complex than anyone knows, and it is not black and white, either.  There is no one person who can declare that it is release NOW, no matter what.  The more people come into play, the more complicated it gets.  If you think it’s black and white, you are smoking some seriously good dope.  One person asks for a delay for this reason, then they call their buddy to ask to question the meaning of a single word.  There are very bad people trying to interrupt this process for their own gain.  Tony and I are trying to bring insight into how this is going on, and if you cannot handle that… I get it, this is brutal, and sometimes you have to take a break. You can trust that we are trying to help, or you can find your own intel.  There are good people trying to get this sorted out.  There are some people who are out only for themselves, and they don’t care.  It’s really hard to delay something at this point:  Iraq has declared their RI, they’re a sovereign country, and these others are nickel-and-diming them to hold it up.  There are good people trying to do good things here.

Tony:  Bottom line:  this is not about us.  In January it was about us, and directly affectws us.  When you have power or authority, you want to use it to your advantage, not when they are actively looking for an excuse to hold this up.  They have run out of other excuses and they want us to provide one!  You only burn it down on good, sound advice, when you feel you have been deceived or whatever.  You do that at the end of the rope, not just when you woke up in a bad news and want to burn the house down.  We can only use that when we are relevant.  When they thought they could bring the dollar down overnight, we were not relevant.  You can believe what we say or not;  there are plenty of other sites.

407 caller:  I’m following you and listening… where we are right now, we can still continue to look for this any day, any hour?  IMF contacts UST, UST calls the banks, and the banks call in security… is that what we are waiting to see?

Tony:  Part of that has changed, and I don’t know how much to tell you…

DC:  With the RI and positive moves by the, we believe that there is not much left to do.

Tony:  So, DC, the ultimate authority is where right now?  That’s the question, I think.

DC:  The ultimate authority is in question. [Tony:  code for “shut up, Tony!”]

Caller:  Various things have been said about groups;  will the Admiral’s group still be first and then the rest will follow, or has that changed as well?

DC:  I believe that the public RV and the groups will come at the same time.  The RI really canceled or created some changes in the strategy and process.

206 caller:  Someone said that if they RI in-country, and they don’t have to RI outside the country?  Is this so?

Tony:  they could leave it just the way it is right now, as long as they don’t want to do the GCR or build Iraq back up.  But the whole world has been negotiating the GCR for the last ten years!  This cannot go on forever, and in fact they did agree to this.  There are some things Iraq can do to force the issue.

DC:  They cannot interrupt the entire country and leave out the rest of the world.  They can do this bizarre thing about having all these different rates in different parts of the country.  You can imagine that feels like on a daily basis.  So they are opening up the banks for a little bit and letting some of the new rate.  Sooner or later, the rest of the world will have to accept the new rate.  We understand that Iraq is trying to force of the system to go through because their citizens are in a rough place because of us.  They cannot have this huge variance, and their time is running out, so they are now on overtime.

540 caller:  We’ve shifted paradigms from the RV to the RI;  if they don’t come out at the same time, will we continue to monitor the RV?

Tony:  We’ll have to see what the NDA says. Either way, the contract rates will still be there, and that’s what most of you care about anyway.

Caller:  Those of us with multiple currencies should be concerns about knowing when it RVs for the other currencies.

Tony:  Let me tell you something:  I know what the other currencies are, and have a good idea of what the currencies are beyond those currencies.  I will probably tell you what those are, because I think you should make more money.  It will affect the global economy, but that is not my job.  They don’t care about us! This is your absolute opportunity to be on the global billionaire’s list between now and this December. Do they want me to tell five million dinarians?  No.  I don’t see why they have drawn this out so long.  If the dinar came out at a dollar, I could convert that into fifty dollars, and that would affect the global economy.  Let’s get this done and go to our other site and talk about how to make money with our money.  I know that our NDAs are going to be different from yours, and I don’t know what I’ll be able to talk about.  I’m just being honest and will do my best to let you know what’s going on.

Caller:  We know that if we just do the dinar RI, and the rest don’t RV, then there is the possibility to buy large amounts of people buying those other currencies.

Tony:  They know this and they are adjusting for the new situation, with new laws about who can buy currency, with a ten million dollar qualification to buy currencies apart from traveling.  There is a way around this, and people can think it out for themselves.  Also, there are other strategies you can use to meet that qualifier.  I’m not going to say what they are on this call because I don’t want to give them excuses of what to change.

Caller:  There are people who will take advantage of that situation, that’s all.

Tony:  Of course!  If you see an opportunity or create one, and it’s not against the law, why not?  That’s what this country is based on . That’s what millionaires and billionaires do all the time!  They find the loopholes and utilize them until the loopholes are closed.  And I will help people with that as long as I can or until they put me under an NDA.

214 caller: Did DC talk really fast before he left Texas, or develop that after he got to DC?

DC:  I really do talk fast… it’s all that RedBull.  <laughter>

951 caller:  I have had dinar and dong for a while, and been listening a lot for the last six months.  I’m a public figure, and I’m frustrated, too… and I think people are stepping from frustrated to being mad.  You are the spokesman, and being in the public eye, I get that.  Every week, every Monday, it’s a different problem, and I hope for your sake that it comes to past very soon, because otherwise you are painting a target on your backs.  The same people who are praising you now will crucify you if this doesn’t come to past.  If feels like we are going into battle with this Twitter.  You are all good people making the decision to do this, and if it doesn’t come through, you will be blasted.  I’ve said things in the past, and they didn’t work out, and I got blasted by the papers, people, the whole nine yards.

Tony:  I do know who you are.  Everything you said is true, and… for three of the last four years, that target has been on my back. Those who loved me on Monday hated me on Friday because they do not understand the process, and didn’t understand that we were just passing along the info. Because they cannot pick up the phone or find the information on Google, they say we are lying or whatever. I’ve got death threats, my family has been contacted, it’s been all over the internet, people have been knocking on my door, I’ve been through all of it, and all in the name of helping someone.

NOBODY is paying me.  I was asked to do this, regretted it immediately, and I’m still here because I feel a sense of responsibility.

Caller:  I’ve done this for 43 years, and people have praised me, vilified me, and I’m only saying this to let you know that if this doesn’t come to pass you WILL have problems. It’s unfortunate thing because you are trying to do the right thing.  I’ve done it for 43 years, and I’ve had all kinds of crap.  I got into this not because I need it but because it’s interesting and I’ve got a lot of people into this.

One question:  do you believe with all your heart that this will work out?  Or will you have to do a call saying, “I’m sorry, but this isn’t happening”?

Tony: It’s a country.  All kinds of banks and companies are opening up in Iraq.  I’ve seen the rates on the screens, and I’ve already seen a contract.  We just don’t know WHEN it’s going to happen!  So, DC, in your heart of hearts…

DC:  So, DC, in your heart of hearts do I believe this will happen?  Yes.  It could longer than we expect, I have no idea.  They are dealing with tight timelines that are hard to ignore.  They did the RI, and that is verifiable in so many ways. The guys who investigate conspiracies are very good at it, and we are not.  They cannot make up that all the Iraqi politicians and the people at CBI can somehow match up with a teller in front of a bank in California… they are not good enough to make up that story and create all the evidence it would require.  We have several different sources for every piece of information, and there is not way in God’s green earth that an Iraqi banker is calling a bank manager in the US;  they don’t know each other exists and they don’t care!  That kind of verification is going on fifty different directions a day.  I’m a wild-ass optimist, yes, but I’m not an idiot.  We have seen documentation that this has been going on for years.  I have no interest in being in public, but outrageous things were happening that had to be sorted out.  I am only interested in being private, and will cheerfully sign an NDA as soon as possible!

Caller:  I’ve had a number of people involved, and all I say now is “you know about the Rapture?  Jesus is coming, we just don’t know when.”  You’ve got my number if you ever want to talk!  I’ll help you!

Tony:  You know what I want help with already… so just do it, okay?

435 caller:  I have eight children, 18 grandchildren and 20+ great-grandchildren, so we will have a lot more people tweeting!

Tony:  Sign ‘em up and get tweeting, because we need the support.  There is something in the forum to tell people how to sign up for Twitter and connect them to us.

Caller:  We love you and will support you in any way.  We can’t get into the forum…

Tony:  Pam is here and she can tell you…

Pam:  There is a video on youtube, do a search for Twitter and TNT team.

Caller:  My kids are coming in to town and they are teaching me how to use my phone properly.  Thank you very much!

Tony:  Our time is up, although we started a little bit late. DC, where are we?

DC:  We are back on the 1” yard line, and looking for everything going through.  That’s what we are expecting and hoping for.

Tony:  I’m ready!

Pam:  Go to www.youtube.com and do a search for “Twitter, TNT Tony”.  IN the forum, there is a sticky for how to do it.  This is a simple tweet to show numbers and readiness.

Tony:  That is right:  not threats, just ready to change our Twitter numbers. We are here to offer help to those who supported us, that’s all.

Ray:  Get ready, get ready, get ready to be blessed.

Tony:  there were challenges but they have been overcome. We are looking for it any day.  We are preparing for if we need to take action ourselves.  If they ask for our help, we will bombard Twitter, Facebook and Instagram IF that’s what we need to do to help them accomplish their goal.  I’m hoping to do a call later on, or will try to keep you up as to what is going on.

Frightening new dangers of antibiotics

Frightening new dangers of antibiotics
Hi John
There’s an old saying that has an undeniable ring of truth to it:
Too much of a good thing is no good.
For example, water is very good for you.  But if you drink an inordinate amount of it with meals, you can dilute your digestive enzymes and hamper your digestion, leading to gas, bloating, pain and diarrhea.
In addition, supplements can be very helpful for a variety of health concerns.  But if you go way overboard and, for example, take massive amounts of calcium, you can run the risk of it crystalizing around your joints and causing arthritis-like pain, or even developing a kidney stone. 
Plus I think you’ll agree vegetables are a very healthy food to eat.  However, if you eat nothing BUT vegetables and exclude other important sources of nutrients like proteins, fruits and healthy fats, you can risk developing deficiencies which can lead to a whole slew of health problems!
Arguably nowhere has the “too much of a good thing” wisdom rung more true than in the area of antibiotics.
Because our society’s ever-increasing reliance on these drugs has jumped up and bit us in the derriere.
Here’s how:
The antibiotic craze—too much of a good thing
Antibiotics were discovered when Sir Alexander Fleming observed in 1928 that the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus could be destroyed by the mold Penicillium notatum.
They became a part of mainstream medicine in the early 1950’s, and truly seemed to be the “wonder drug,” fighting infections and causing few or no side effects.
But then somewhere along the way we started to become careless with them.
People began requesting them more often and the medical community began prescribing them in increasing numbers--even when the particular illness in question was actually VIRAL and not an infection.
At that time, the common thinking among patients and doctors was that, if the illness WAS an infection, giving the antibiotics would be a good "head start" on treatment...and if not, no problem.  They won't do any harm.
Well, as we would later find out, that’s not true. 
Far from it.
In addition, antibiotics also began to be prescribed on a preventative basis to help prevent and control conditions like ear infections, sinus infections and even acne. 
That further worsened the problem, as we would soon see.
Note that the antibiotic craze extends far beyond our doctors’ offices…because now they’re showing up in our food supply—specifically in meat and milk from antibiotic-treated cows.
As a matter of fact, agriculture accounts for about 80% percent of all antibiotics used in the US!  About 25 million pounds of antibiotics are administered to livestock in the US every year for purposes other than treating disease!
That’s right.  Antibiotics are given to cows to make them grow bigger, faster.  And the residue from those antibiotics ends up in the meat and milk from the animals—and eventually inside of YOU.
So what’s the problem?
The initial problem that we began noticing with antibiotics was that, while they are destroying the dangerous, infection-causing bacteria in your body like they’re designed to, they also destroy your friendly beneficial bacteria too.
And since 70% of your immune system resides in your friendly gut flora, your ability to resist illness following a course of antibiotics takes a tremendous nosedive.
So that means you become even more susceptible to catching infections or viruses.
Now, what happens when you do get sick again?  It’s off to the doctor for more antibiotics, of course!
So this cycle continues to repeat itself with your immune system getting weaker and weaker with each course of antibiotics and you getting sick again and again.
But the problem is GROWING
The concerns with antibiotics continue to grow…and are becoming even more serious.
Because now we are seeing increasing species of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
You see, bacteria are like “MacGyver”—they are very resourceful and extremely skilled at survival techniques—meaning they have the ability to out-evolve other organisms that can destroy them.
Each time they come into contact with a destroyer like an antibiotic—they continue to put forth their brilliant efforts to outsmart the drug.
And eventually they succeed, my friend.
Here’s an example of how they do it:
Bacteria can develop a protective “shell” so that antibiotics can't invade their cell walls—or the drugs get pushed back out when they do.
And when those now drug-resistant bacteria reproduce themselves, they can pass that anti-drug trait down to the next generation, thereby creating a new “superbug” strain.
“Pass it on” has a whole new meaning!
Bacteria can not only pass these drug-resisting traits down to their offspring but they can also share them with other species of bacteria, thereby exponentially increasing the chances of a wide variety of superbugs.
Stuart Levy, MD, a professor at Tufts University School of Medicine and president of the Alliance for Prudent Use of Antibiotics recently said, "Over the past decade, bacteria have evolved the ability to accumulate multidrug resistances."
Plus people are unknowingly passing on these bacteria and infecting others in ways that you can’t even imagine.
For example, one recent study found that New York’s Hudson River contained bacteria that's resistant to two hefty antibiotics (ampicillin and tetracycline) and its presence was linked to sewage.
In other words, people who have these drug-resistant bacteria residing in them can “pass” them into the environment through their feces, which eventually gets into our waterways. 
The numbers continue to grow
Thus far, bacteria has found a way around every antibiotic we’ve come up with, and we’re quickly running out of answers.
And the numbers of people affected continue to grow.
According to the “Antibiotic Resistance Threat Report” published by the CDC in 2013, 2 million adults and children in the US become infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria each year, and at least 23,000 of them die as a direct result. 
Plus even more die from secondary complications.
You can fight the battle—and WIN!
The glimmer of hope in this scary world of drug-resistant bacteria is that you CAN fight the battle against dangerous infections and illnesses and WIN!
How?
By relying on and nurturing the illness protection provided by Mother Nature, my friend. 
Otherwise known as your IMMUNE SYSTEM.
Here are three strategies you can use to help pamper your immune system and keep it sharp and ready to fight illness 24/7:
1-      Supplement with a high-quality multi-strain probiotic formula
In order to maximize your chances of having a proper flora balance and a strong immune system, it's crucial to supplement with a probiotic formula that contains both Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species.
You see, Lactobacillus bacteria live in your small intestine, while Bifidobacterium strains hang out in your colon. 
So to take a probiotic formula that has just one or the other is selling a portion of your intestinal tract short!
Super Shield probiotic formula and its 13 strains of top-shelf friendly bacteria can help keep your intestinal flora where it needs to be--from one end to the other!
- http://www.bluerockholistics.com/product/pross.asp
Super Shield contains a variety of well-studied Lactobacillus AND Bifidobacterium strains, as well as a prebiotic fiber called FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) which is nourishment for your hard-working friendly flora.
2-      Have a diet of real foods, with preferably organic meat and milk
You can swallow probiotic supplements by the boatload, but if your diet is loaded with fast or processed foods and soda, you are cutting your own throat and counteracting the helpful action of the supplements.
There's no getting around it--in order to have any degree of healthy intestinal flora, you MUST get the nutrients your body (and especially your gut) so desperately need from REAL foods.
And note that when buying real foods, it’s important to go organic whenever you can—especially to avoid antibiotic-tainted meat and milk!
Plus it’s also crucial to have efficient digestion in order to ABSORB those vital nutrients from your foods and eliminate wastes loaded with harmful bacteria
I can help you achieve both of those goals (and love every bite of what you're eating) with the Great Taste No Pain system

Plus they're loaded with delicious ideas featuring probiotic-nourishing real foods that you'll absolutely LOVE--there are no bland or boring dishes in my recipe books!
3-      Keep stress under control
Chronic stress can damage the friendly flora in your gut too (and hence weaken your immune system).  That’s why you seem to get sick during periods of high stress—your body simply can’t fight off illnesses as well.
If you find you’re frequently or constantly stressed, it’s time to do something about it.  The following have been shown to be extremely helpful:
  • Don’t over-commit yourself.  Learn to say no when your plate is already full, and make some “me-time” for yourself, even if it’s just a warm bath for 20 minutes.
  • If your job causes you stress and it doesn’t seem like it can or will get any better, consider looking for another job.
  • See a skilled therapist or counselor.  Note I used the word “skilled”—if you’ve been seeing a therapist and they’re either not helping you or all they want to do is push drugs on you, find another.
  • Exercise!  Exercise is one of the cheapest and most effective forms of stress reduction.  Find an exercise buddy to keep you motivated and keep it fun.  Just be sure to get your doctor’s OK, especially if you haven’t moved much in a while.
  • Reach into your inner spiritual side.  Deep breathing, meditation, prayer and yoga are all VERY effective stress reducers.
Clearly antibiotics are a stark example of what can go wrong when you get “too much of a good thing.”
Although the prospect of contracting antibiotic-resistant bacteria is very scary indeed, remember you are NOT defenseless against them.
Because the more you concentrate on nourishing your body and strengthening the natural protection of your immune system, the better your overall health can be and the less you will have to worry about illness finding a home in YOU!
To your health,
Sherry Brescia

PS:  Always be sure to let your doctor or healthcare provider know what supplements you are taking. 
PPS: Gordon’s feeling a whole lot better!

Hi Sherry,
I have now been using your Great Taste No Pain plan now for 4 weeks and the Super Shield probiotics for two weeks and the results have been outstanding.
About 25 years ago when I was in my early 30's I was diagnosed as epileptic and put onto medication. Over the following 12 months I developed constipation. My doctor told me to drink more water. When that didn’t work he prescribed soluble fiber and when that didn’t work he put me onto laxatives which were never very successful.
No explanations were ever able to be given as to why my constipation was so severe. Around about the same time as the constipation started I also started to experience incredible tiredness, particularly in the evenings, to such an extent that I would sometimes fall asleep on my feet and if I sat down I was out to it. I've lost count of the number of times I've sought medical advice about this problem.
I also suffered miserably from bloating and gas. As a result of these symptoms I became very reclusive.
The combination of properly combining foods and using Super Shield probiotics has eliminated gas, bloating, constipation and the tiredness after eating which has given me my life back.
God bless you and your work.
Thanks and kind regards.
Gordon

400 US mercenaries 'deployed on ground' in Ukraine military op

About 400 elite mercenaries from the notorious US private security firm Academi (formerly Blackwater) are taking part in the Ukrainian military operation against anti-government protesters in southeastern regions of the country, German media reports.

The Bild am Sonntag newspaper, citing a source in intelligence circles, wrote Sunday that Academi employees are involved in the Kiev military crackdown on pro-autonomy activists in near the town of Slavyansk, in the Donetsk region.

On April 29, German Intelligence Service (BND) informed Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government about the mercenaries’ participation in the operation, the paper said, RIA Novosti reported. It is not clear who commands the private military contractors and pays for their services, however.

In March, media reports appeared suggesting that the coup-imposed government in Kiev could have employed up to 300 mercenaries.That was before the new government launched a military operation against anti-Maidan activists, or “terrorists” as Kiev put it, in southeast Ukraine.

At the time, the Russian Foreign Ministry said then that reports claiming Kiev was planning to e involve staff from foreign military companies to ‘ensure the rule of law,’” could suggest that it wanted “to suppress civil protests and dissatisfaction.”

In particular, Greystone Limited, which is currently registered in Barbados and is a part of Academi Corporation, is a candidate for such a gendarme role. It is a similar and probably an affiliated structure of the Blackwater private army, whose staff have been accused of cruel and systematic violations of human rights in various trouble spots on many occasions.

Among the candidates for the role of gendarme is the Barbados-registered company Greystone Limited, which is integrated with the Academi corporation,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “It is an analogue, and, probably and affiliated body of the Blackwater private army, whose employees have repeatedly been accused of committing grievous and systematic human rights abuses in different troubled regions.”

Allegations increased further after unverified videos appeared on YouTube of unidentified armed men in the streets of Donetsk, the capital of the country’s industrial and coalmining region. In those videos, onlookers can be heard shouting “Mercenaries!”“Blackwater!,” and “Who are you going to shoot at?

Academi denied its involvement in Ukraine, claiming on its website that “rumors” were posted by “some irresponsible bloggers and online reporters.”

Such unfounded statements combined with the lack of factual reporting to support them and the lack of context about the compan, are nothing more than sensationalistic efforts to create hysteria and headlines in times of genuine crisis,” the US firm stated.

The American security company Blackwater gained worldwide notoriety for the substantial role it played in the Iraq war as a contractor for the US government. In recent years it has changed its name twice – in 2009 it was renamed Xe Services and in 2011 it got its current name, Academi.

The firm became infamous for the alleged September 16, 2007 killing of 17 Iraqi civilians in Baghdad. The attack, which saw 20 others wounded, was allegedly without justification and in violation of deadly-force rules that pertained to American security contractors in Iraq at the time.

Between 2005 and September 2007, Blackwater 'security guards' were involved in at least 195 shooting incidents in Iraq and fired first in 163 of those cases, a Congressional report said at the time.
