Member: Hi ho HI ho it's off to the rv we go
Member: Happiest of Tuesday Evenings to ALL!
Member: Rumor; 100,000 iraqi dinar will be worth $150,000 sometime next week. Ya,ll believe that ?
Member: That would be the NEER (Nominal Effective Exchange Rate) rate give or take a little ……..its possible
Member: Any news from redemption centers?
MZ: I have communicated with one. They are on a “Heightened Alert” for the week. They have been asked to be able to report at a “moments notice” or within one hour during the work day and within 2 hours if it’s after the work day .
MZ: “Iraqi Parliament to approve 2023 budget of $140 trillion dinars soon” The overwhelming part of their budget comes from oil ….about 95% of their income. They have priced the budget at about $60-$65 dollars a barrel and they have a mechanism to adjust the value with a revaluation.
MZ: There is a lot of chatter in the streets of Iraq. Today they expected local cabinet members to be seated…..and that did not happen, but I am told things look very positive for tomorrow. There are a number of politicians discussing where they should go on the rate.
MZ: I also have a finance ministry contact mention that a higher NEER rate was tossed about today in some of their circles. In other words instead of going with the rate of 1162 and floating…..it would start exponentially higher at the NEER rate of $1.60. They are also going back and forth with the pre-Sadaam Hussein rate of about $3.22. We don’t yet know what they will do.
MZ: They keep it cloudy and smokey on purpose and for a reason. They are tossing around all these different rates so that we speculate and don’t know the answer…..We have to make peace with the misinformation that they are doing on purpose and for a reason.
MZ: I hear the most likely scenario continues to be the full revaluation or reinstatement, but they will continue to throw the other lower rates out there to keep us guessing….it is part of the game. We saw this in Kuwait as well before they revalued….also in China. This has happened throughout history.
Member: Just best to be prepared for any plan…..
MZ: It is very excited for me to see us this close to the finish line.
Member: Are we anticipating the dinar rate change this week?
MZ: We are anticipating an announcement thereof and possibly a lower sucker rate. This is before the actual RV The sucker rate is to get many to give up, cash in at the lower rates and then go away.
MZ: “The mother of all economic crisis looms warns economist Nuriel Roubini “ People are pulling out billions in a mad dash to get cash before the music stops. The bleeding will continue.
Member: I wish there was news on gold backed USN
Member: I still wonder will the exchange be in fiat, digital, or the new rainbow???
Member: Mark, when RV occurs, will the world know, and to what extent, or just the currency holders
Member: I would think they want to keep things under wraps…….so all those people that were told the RV was a scam wouldn’t be really angry.
Member: Are we going to have a happy Christmas?
MZ: I’m afraid to say…..but think it’s very close.
Member: I’ve been telling my cat (Archie) for the past two years that we are going to have a big, beautiful farm “soon”…. Lately, he just looks at me and rolls his eyes
Member: I’m still believing we will have a very happy Christmas with the RV first and Nesara/Gesara before the new year.
Member: Watch Trolling News, Markz tells the story about Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, origins,true story,sure made me cry.

The story of how Rudolph came to be.
MarkZ: Not sure who to give credit to for the story, whoever it is, thank you, it has touched many.
A man named Bob May, depressed and brokenhearted, stared out his drafty apartment window into the chilling December night. His 4-year-old daughter Barbara sat on his lap quietly sobbing. Bobs wife, Evelyn, was dying of cancer.
Little Barbara couldn't understand why her mommy could never come home. Barbara looked up into her dad's eyes and asked, "Why isn't Mommy just like everybody else's Mommy?" Bob's jaw tightened and his eyes welled with tears. Her question brought waves of grief, but also of anger.
It had been the story of Bob's life. Life always had to be different for Bob. Small when he was a kid, Bob was often bullied by other boys. He was too little at the time to compete in sports. He was often called names he'd rather not remember. From childhood, Bob was different and never seemed to fit in.
Bob did complete college, married his loving wife and was grateful to get his job as a copywriter at Montgomery Ward during the Great Depression. Then he was blessed with his little girl. But it was all short-lived.
Evelyn's bout with cancer stripped them of all their savings and now Bob and his daughter were forced to live in a two-room apartment in the Chicago slums. Evelyn died just days before Christmas in 1938.
Bob struggled to give hope to his child, for whom he couldn't even afford to buy a Christmas gift. But if he couldn't buy a gift, he was determined a make one - a storybook!
Bob created an animal character in his own mind and told the animal's story to little Barbara to give her comfort and hope. Again and again Bob told the story, embellishing it more with each telling. Who was the character? What was the story all about? The story Bob May created was his own autobiography in fable form.
The character he created was a misfit outcast like he was. What was the name of the character? A little reindeer named Rudolph, with a big shiny nose.
Bob finished the book just in time to give it to his little girl on Christmas Day. But the story doesn't end there. The general manager of Montgomery Ward caught wind of the little storybook and offered Bob May a nominal fee to purchase the rights to print the book.
Wards went on to print, ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ and distribute it to children visiting Santa Claus in their stores. By 1946 Wards had printed and distributed more than six million copies of Rudolph.
That same year, a major publisher wanted to purchase the rights from Wards to print an updated version of the book. In an unprecedented gesture of kindness, the CEO of Wards returned all rights back to Bob May.
The book became a best seller. Many toy and marketing deals followed and Bob May, now remarried with a growing family, became wealthy from the story he created to comfort his grieving daughter.
But the story doesn’t end there either. Bob's brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, made a song adaptation to Rudolph. Though the song was turned down by such popular vocalists as Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore, it was recorded by the singing cowboy, Gene Autry.
‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ was released in 1949 and became a phenomenal success, selling more records than any other Christmas song, with the exception of ‘White Christmas.’
The gift of love that Bob May created for his daughter so long ago kept on returning back to bless him again and again. And Bob May learned the lesson, just like his dear friend Rudolph, that being different isn't so bad. In fact, being different may be a blessing.
