RV/INTELLIGENCE ALERT - October 4, 2018

(Disclaimer: The following is an overview of the current situation based on intelligence leaks received from several sources which may or may not accurate. Other confirmed sources may also be included in this overview.)

Trump's presidential alert test was far more than meets the eye.

It was a public display by the Alliance and a way of discretely informing the public of the what's to come.

The sting operation involving the RV is over.

The timing of the RV is no longer a security concern
....



​The SCOTUS confirmation vote is essential to the timing of the RV via negotiated terms under GESARA law.

Mass military tribunals followed by a stock market collapse is now inevitable.

It will be the "break in the system" required to activate the QFS and release the RV.

Switzerland is even publicly expressing their willingness to participate in the QFS.

As Q stated, be prepared, united we stand, strong together.

This is Red October.

The end of the Cabal.

Switzerland would join new interbank payment system independent of US

Published time: 4 Oct, 2018 09:19

Bern will take part in any new payment system if it were created as an alternative to the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), according to Swiss Ambassador to Moscow Yves Rossier.

Switzerland's position on the issue of creating payment channels that are independent of the United States is unlikely to differ from the position of other countries, Rossier told RIA Novosti. He added his country may participate in setting up an alternative to SWIFT.

“If there are any new developments in the financial sector, we will closely monitor them, but this is clearly a matter for reflection in the EU, not in Switzerland… But if a new payment system appears, every country will take part in it, including us, of course, why not,” said the diplomat.

SWIFT is a financial network that provides high-value cross-border transfers for members across the world. It is based in Belgium, but its board includes executives from US banks with US federal law allowing the administration to act against banks and regulators across the globe.

It supports most interbank messages, connecting over 11,000 financial institutions in more than 200 countries and territories.

The issue of setting up a system that would allow Brussels to be independent in its financial operations from Washington has been widely discussed lately, particularly after the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.

Last week, EU Foreign Affairs Chief Federica Mogherini said the bloc was working to create special payment channels to do business with the Islamic Republic.

Tehran also said it has considered establishing mechanisms for the oil trade to bypass US sanctions. The White House is expected to ratchet up pressure on Tehran by blocking its oil exports in November, potentially halting some two million barrels a day, or 50 percent of Iran’s output.

In May, US President Donald Trump announced America’s withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). He said any countries or companies that conduct transactions with Iran were liable to face secondary sanctions. The EU asked Washington to grant exemptions to European companies but Trump rejected the appeal, saying exemptions would be made only if they benefited US national security.

The 1,000 dinar note resurfaces as tattered 250's and 500's are being replaced with new currency. There is speculation that even smaller currency will be introduced next week also. [TIME WILL TELL]

Harambe:  Bloomberg: Indonesia's Weak Currency a Source of Strength, World Bank Says

Bloomberg: Indonesia's Weak Currency a Source of Strength, World Bank Says  (10/4/18)
Indonesia’s economy is much stronger than during the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the currency’s weakness is a source of strength, the World Bank said.

“With a flexible exchange rate now, moderate devaluation makes imports more expensive, exports cheaper, and the dollar value of profit transfers lower,” Rodrigo Chaves, the bank’s country director for Indonesia and Timor-Leste, said in a statement on Wednesday. “These elements reduce the current-account deficit automatically.”
 
Indonesia is among the hardest hit in Asia by an emerging-market rout. The rupiah weakened past 15,000 to a dollar this week for the first time since the Asian financial crisis. The government is stepping up measures including import curbs to restrain the current-account deficit. 

The rupiah swung wildly during the Asian crisis, going from a regulated rate below 3,000 versus the dollar to almost 17,000 when a flexible exchange rate was implemented.

Chaves lauded the government’s policy responses this year as “quick, decisive, and coordinated.” The central bank has raised interest rates despite inflation being within the target and has not defended a level for the rupiah, he said.

“While there are risks coming from overseas, let me be clear: Indonesia has strong fundamentals and an adequate policy response function,” Chaves said. “The fact is clear that 2018 is not 1997 or 2013, for that matter. Indonesia is in a much stronger position today than in the past.”

Chaves urged the government to boost exports and foreign direct investment and to reduce its fuel subsidies.

Currency365:  

CBI releasing new lower notes next week for trading to stop the liquidity crisis...doesn't need a rate change even though we would like one but the small notes/coins need a rate change cause they would have negative value..so expect the new 1000, 500, and maybe 250 next week

KTFA:

GFulcher66:  imo rv while A is pm, b4 new goi seated, he gets credit and Iraq moves fwd with a real rate into the new goi

Popeye7:  Sounds like a great plan... 

MarkPam:  Didn't Delta say there would be more "leaks" from the CBI???  If this is a leak, I would hate to see what a "flood" looks like!!!   Go CBI!!  Go Iraq!!

DELTA: (big Smile)

**************

2Cents:  perhaps we were waiting for the president to be elected and the PM designee named.........I have always said the process would begin after business hours Thursday and at least a day before business hours resume..... This is the first "after business hours Thursday" since the election of the President and the PM designee named......I think we should see what occurs between now and Saturday afternoon.......if nothing, then we should probably watch for cabinet formation and see what happens after......One step at a time...... 
 
MilitiaMan:  Agreed. There is nothing that suggests outside of next week.. They clearly are reiterating there intentions to bring in the new next week. Abadi is PM now while and through the end of seating the Cabinet.. eos. The environment is stable and secure now and will be.. Thus, the Independence of the CBI can roll out the new when appropriate, and there words are next week and that is their words not mine, or even any speculation about it what so ever. imo ~ MM

Hammy14:  MM, I agree.  There is nothing that suggests outside of next week.  At the same time, there is nothing that suggests a rate change next week either.  So we'll just see how it plays out.  I certainly hope we get to the new rate next week, but this is still Iraq.  We have thought on numerous occasions that "this is it!" yet here we sit.  Watch what they do, not what they say, IMO.  Show me, Iraq.  It is time.  

MilitiaMan:  We disagree then, in one respect. You don't bring in small currency with out a rate change.. That is imo a reality.. ~ MM

2cents:  Great post Hammy.....So true.......However, for reasons I have stated, if this roll out is truly just the 250, 500 and 1,000, the change in rate has to be "relatively" close (perhaps within weeks) thereafter.  If not, why have they waited so long to do this?  There are articles stating they were going to do this back to at least 2015.  What's the big deal if they are truly just changing out the existing "torn" bills with the same denomination new bills?  Just not logical.

Samson:  Sources familiar with: Abdul-Mahdi resort to the plan, "B" under pressure from the parties in the formation of the government

 4th October, 2018

Prime Minister-designate Adel Abdul-Mahdi began his talks with political parties to form the next government , amid questions about the nature of the intervention of ruling parties in his choices and the imposition of candidates on him to take over ministerial portfolios.

A source familiar with the statements, "Erm News", that Abdul Mahdi seeks to form a government from outside the political parties and not bow to pressure and the rejection of any candidate provided by those parties, and rely on competencies from outside the political system. 

The source added that Abdul Mahdi, who submitted resignations from several previous positions, made it a pressure paper on politicians, the plan "B" can easily resign in the event of intense pressure from the parties, accepting candidates to receive certain ministries, which makes it a point of strength Abdul Mahdi, and a weak point for the political blocs that will search for a compromise candidate with the qualities of Abdul Mahdi is difficult at present.
 
Activists demand social networking sites, public forums and protest demonstrations to appoint independent figures at the head of the ministries, and stay away from party candidates who are often subject to their power and dominance. 

The idea of ​​"technocrats"To the outgoing Prime Minister Haider Abadi, as he made a change in the composition of his government in 2016, and included ministers of "technocrats" who do not belong to the current parties, a change is the first of its kind since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.    LINK
