REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON NORV [aka Kaperoni] Article: "Advisor to the Association of Banks: The Central Bank is following a consistent approach to achieving banking reform" Quote: "the management of the Central Bank of Iraq plans to gradually cancel the window for selling foreign currency during the year 2024, until it leaves it completely." ...this is huge news... Iraq cannot end the auctions unless they have an alternative to the auctions... which means they plan to float the dinar by the end of the year...floating the dinar will give them a new mechanism to maintain the dinar, the CBI will buy and sell blocks of dinar like other central banks do to maintain their currency. [Post 1 of 2] NORV [aka Kaperoni] They will also have to use dinar to pay for goods and services which will make the dinar internationally traded...they want the banks and Iraq to establish relationships around the world with International standards and full compliance which means that means IMF Article XIV... This seems pretty clear and excellent news. We very well see that Iraqi dinar float on the global market at the end of this year or early next year... I think it's very promising... it definitely is very good news. [Post 2 of 2]

From, what we know, there is a lot of issues on the table that are exchange rate oriented. This is a good sign.. imo.

Israel plans to strike Iranian nuclear reactors Arab And InternationalIsraelIran 2024-04-09 // 07:23 Shafaq News / A Western security official confirmed that Israel will strike targets inside Iran, including nuclear reactors, if the latter responds to the attack that targeted the Iranian consulate in Damascus, and bombed sites inside Israel. According to a report reported by the Times of Israel website, in recent days, the Israeli army conducted secret Air Force training by flying different types of fighters, marching over long distances, conducting maneuvers, and targeting sensitive sites in Iran that may be facilities belonging to Iran’s nuclear project. American media previously reported, citing Iranian and American intelligence sources, that Iran is planning to strike dozens of sensitive targets in Israel, including energy production infrastructure facilities and other various sites, using ballistic missiles and suicide drones. Analysts saw the raid as an escalation of Israel's campaign against Iran and its regional proxies, which risks sparking a broader war that goes beyond the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Both Iran and Hezbollah vowed to retaliate for the strike. Advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, threatened Israeli embassies, telling the Iranian Students News Agency on Sunday that "the embassies of the Zionist regime are no longer safe." In televised statements last Friday, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said that an Iranian response is coming. Nasrallah said, “Be certain, certain, that the Iranian response to targeting the consulate in Damascus will certainly come against Israel.” After an assessment conducted on Sunday by senior Israeli army officers, Defense Minister Yoav Galant said that Israel is ready to respond to any attack by Iran, and that it has “completed preparations to respond to any scenario that might lead to that,” according to the “Times or Israel” website. Israel has been on high alert over the past week amid Iranian officials' promises of revenge for an air strike in Damascus that killed their top commander in Syria, Mohammad Reza Zahedi; Along with six other members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and at least one member of the Iranian-affiliated Hezbollah group. “Iran will not attack directly.” However, unnamed US intelligence sources told CNN that Iran is unlikely to attack Israel directly for fear of US and Israeli retaliation, and will instead urge its various proxies in the region to launch attacks on its behalf in the coming days. It should be noted that there are informed sources warning that the future of the region, especially with regard to the tension between Iran and Israel, may be fraught with dangers. Despite Iran's assurances that it will respond forcefully in the coming days, on the one hand, Israel threatens to respond twice as strong if it is exposed to any attack by Iran. https://www.shafaq.com/ar/عربي-ودولي/اسرا-يل-تخطط-بضرب-المفاعلات-النووية-الايرانية

7 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-9-2024 April 9, 2024 The Statue of Liberty There is probably no icon more known for depicting America than the Statue of Liberty. In the following dream given to Gina Gholston in 2019, an enraged and violent mob is seen trying to destroy the statue. This is obviously a metaphorical picture of the current attempt to destroy America. The dream is too long to allow commentary, but none is needed: God uses the praying church to save America. This we will do. And we will continue to birth and protect the great worldwide harvest. The dream: The Attempt To Destroy America “On November 10, 2019, I dreamed that I came upon a chaotic mob of hundreds of people. Rage, hatred, and evil permeated the atmosphere. In the middle of this mob stood a living, life-sized version of the Statue of Liberty, wrapped in the American flag. The mob was kicking and beating her. She was pushing back, attempting to fight them off. “Then, the Statue of Liberty fell to the ground. When she fell, I ran toward the mob and saw a militant man dressed entirely in black, carrying a black machine gun. As I ran toward them, he used the machine gun to push me backward. I fell, crying, and screamed, ‘SHE’S DYING! SHE’S DYING, AND I CAN HELP HER!’ I stood up and attempted to break through the mob to get to her, but the militant man again pushed me to the ground. “As I lay there, I could see the Statue of Liberty lying on the ground, the mob continuing to kick and beat her. She was bleeding from her nose and mouth; her hands were bruised and bleeding. Beside her, I saw Dutch Sheets attempting to resuscitate her. These vile people would grab him by his feet, pulling him away from the statue, but Dutch would quickly scramble back to her, continuing to attempt CPR. This happened several times. “Seeing a set of bleachers, I stood and made my way into them. From there, I was able to see everything clearly. I could see Dutch and many others with him: Ceci, Chuck Pierce, Tim Sheets, and more. “I noticed that many people in the vicious, raging mob were dressed in professional attire. It is difficult to describe their rage, hatred, violence, and the chaos it created. “In the bleachers, I looked down beside me and saw a defibrillator! Picking it up I yelled, ‘DUTCH!’ He looked up, saw me, and I motioned that I was going to throw him the defibrillator. I did so, and he caught it. “He then said, ‘This is great, but how will we power it?’ “I shouted, ‘WE’VE GOT POWER!’ “A lady and several others in the mob began pushing against those standing with Dutch. She was their spokesperson and shouted, ‘YOU CAN’T DO THIS! YOU CAN’T DO THIS!’ “Then Chuck Pierce rose up. As he did, he grew taller and spoke to me very calmly, ‘The distress signal has been sent out.’ “I knew he was using a biblical reference to Nehemiah who had said to Israel regarding Jerusalem, ‘Do you see the distress we are in?’ (see Nehemiah 2:17). It was as if Nehemiah’s words brought an ‘awakening’ to the people, and they rose up with a ‘mind to work.’ I felt that Chuck was saying, ‘The awakening message has been preached, and people have received it. They’re awake, ready, and will know what to do.’ “With Chuck’s words in my mind, I looked around for help. There were many people walking around, and I realized some of them were literally glowing! When I saw these ‘glowing ones,’ I took them by the hand and said, ‘Come with me. We may not be able to get down with Dutch and the others, but there is a place for us, and I know how to get us there! We have to get in our place!’ “I led them into the bleachers, which had now encircled the entire scene like a colosseum. The bleachers were filled with these ‘glowing ones.’ “I prayed, ‘Lord, how are we going to do this?’ “Instantly, I heard the Lord loudly say, ‘USE THE POWER!’ “I told all of the people in the bleachers to hold hands and be ready! I heard some of them humming a familiar song. I began instructing the people that when I gave the signal, some were to pray in the Spirit while others sang the song they were humming. “We all held hands. With my right hand, I picked up the cables attached to the defibrillator I had thrown to Dutch; with my left hand, I held the hand of the lady next to me. “The chaos was still raging - loud, chaotic, vicious! In the midst of that, Dutch took the paddles of the defibrillator and placed one on the Statue of Liberty‘s right ear and the other on her heart. Then, as loudly as he could, shouted, ‘CHARGE!’ “I yelled to the people in the bleachers, ‘NOW!’ “Some began fervently praying in the spirit, while the others sang with very loud voices, ‘ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME; LET ANGELS PROSTRATE FALL. BRING FORTH THE ROYAL DIADEM AND CROWN HIM LORD OF ALL!’(1) “As we did so, a visible jolt went out of my hand, through the cables, and into her, causing a shaking. “The people in the mob screamed, ‘STOP! You can’t do this!’ “Dutch yelled again, ‘CHARGE!’ “I shouted, ‘NOW!’ And again, we sang and prayed in tongues, causing another jolt to go through the cables and into the Statue of Liberty. Again, she shook. “This happened twice more, and the Statue of Liberty stood up. She had been bleeding, and parts of her had been broken off, but she stood up completely whole…no bleeding, no breaks. “The mob was furious! This was their ‘big move,’ what they had been planning and plotting. But God’s power, flowing through His people, had stopped it. “The vile lady, the mob’s spokesperson, had the authority to call in a militant force and did so - hundreds of them. They surrounded Dutch and those who stood with him, pointing machine guns at them. “Watching from the bleachers, our hearts were pounding. We knew the severity of what we were about to witness if God did not intervene, but we also knew that we had to take a stand. It was do or die, and if we had to die, we were willing. There was absolutely no fear in us, just courage and determination to do our part! “When they pointed the machine guns at Dutch and those standing with him, it was an indescribable moment. Then they fired the guns, but there were no bullets—no ammunition! Nothing! “The vile lady screamed, ‘THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING! YOU CAN’T DO THIS!’ And she instructed the militant company to take us all out—even those of us in the bleachers—with brute force! As they started their move toward us, we all—Dutch, those with him, and those of us in the bleachers—simultaneously fell on our knees and began to cry out to God. “When we did so, there was the loud sound of an old-fashioned telephone ringing. As it did, the ground shook, and everything went silent. Everyone stopped moving. There was not one sound other than the ringing of the telephone. The instant silence was as dramatic as what I had previously seen. It was indescribable how it went from all the rage, chaos, and loudness to complete stillness and silence! In the dream, I heard these words, ‘Call unto Me, and I will answer you!’ (Jeremiah 33:3). “As that ringing sound continued, the Statue of Liberty stretched out her left arm, holding the tablet. We could all see written on it the Scripture reference, ‘Romans 10:9,’ which states, “If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, YOU SHALL BE SAVED!“‘ “Then the Statue of Liberty spoke, saying, ‘I WILL NOT DIE! I WILL LIVE AND DECLARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD!’ (Psalm 118:17). “Dutch then stood up and said boldly and powerfully to the militant people and the mob, ‘You can’t stop it now! We have called, and the Lord has answered us… America IS saved!’ “At that very moment, the torch in the right hand of the Statue of Liberty began to burn, a large flame leaping up.” End of dream. Keep praying, church! Let no threats, attacks, shaking, or fear silence you. We have the [spiritual] power - use it! Pray with me: Father, it is the power and authority of Christ that has prevailed over the evil one. He expelled him from Heaven; He broke his authority over earth, taking it back; and He took the keys of hell. He has now delegated to the church His authority on earth. All hail the power of His name! You were not confused and weren’t simply speaking Your “hope” when You told Him You were giving Him the nations of earth as His inheritance. Nor was He when declaring He would build an unconquerable Ekklesia. This church is now arising throughout the earth under Holy Spirit’s orchestration, releasing Kingdom authority and reaping Christ’s reward. By Your strength and grace, Christ’s victory, and Holy Spirit’s power we will not waver or fail. America shall be saved. Awakening is occurring. The cloud of witnesses will not have run in vain. The harvest is and will be reaped. More than a billion souls will be won by You in our day. And one day, as the great hymn in this dream goes on to declare: “Let ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tribe, On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all,
To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all. “O that with yonder sacred throng, We at His feet may fall,
We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all.
We’ll join the everlasting song, and crown Him Lord of all!”(2) Our decree: We decree that the church, authorized by Christ and connected to Holy Spirit, is releasing life-giving power to restore America. ********************** You can find out more about Gina at GinaGholstonMinistries.org.

5 min read https://www.givehim15.com/post/april-8-2024 April 8, 2024 Eclipse Day, 2024 Welcome to “Eclipse Day, 2024.” Many people have asked for my thoughts regarding it: “Is it prophetic?” “Is it a sign?” “What does it mean?” Many have written about it, and numerous broadcasts have been released. Some say it is a warning of judgment, while others declare it a sign of the end times, that the rapture will occur soon. In some teachings, it has been reported that its path will go over seven cities in America named Ninevah, a sign of judgment—if enough repentance doesn’t occur. Actually, it will be a full eclipse over only two towns named Ninevah; the others will see only partial eclipses. In order to confirm that this eclipse bodes negative consequences, reports are also circulating that some cities and states are actually preparing for problems or calamities The truth, however, is that this is not because they fear judgment or calamity, but due to the influx of visitors - possibly hundreds of thousands - coming to their areas in order to see the full eclipse. They are concerned about supply issues - food, water, housing, etc. - not judgment or calamity. So, Is the Eclipse A Sign? The Bible does indeed tell us the heavens give us signs, including eclipses and blood moons (Genesis 1:14; Isaiah 13:10, 38:8; Ezekiel 32:7; Joel 2.10, 2:31, 3:15; Matthew 24:29; Mark 13:24; Luke 21:25–27; etc.). There is no Scripture I’m aware of, however, that says every eclipse is a sign or warning. This means prophetic discernment is necessary in order to determine whether or not a heavenly phenomenon is a sign. And since there is NO ONE who hears from the Lord perfectly, great caution is necessary when attempting to discern this. I am not implying that those stating this eclipse is a sign are mistaken; nor am I endorsing them. I have listened to several; some seem credible, others do not. I’ve also read articles by and listened to podcasts of those attempting to discredit them. These individuals do point out a few wrong facts used by some in formulating their prophetic statements. Most of the critics, however, are obviously cynics of the prophetic in general, and form their beliefs only in the realm of intellect, knowing nothing of prophetic revelation. I also find their arrogance and critical spirits hard to stomach. Having acknowledged my lack of clarity regarding this eclipse being a sign, I want to state clearly that I do believe America is headed for increasingly difficult times for a season. I have consistently said a difficult shaking is coming to our nation in order to finish the task of turning us back to God. I believe this has begun and will intensify. Sin has wages (Romans 6:23). Rebellion to God and mocking Him comes with dire consequences. Psalm 2 is clear: when rulers mock God, He mocks back; when they conspire to throw off God’s rule, they experience His rod of iron. The fools and reprobates now ruling America believe they can mock Him without consequences, celebrating Resurrection Sunday/Easter as the Transgender Day of Visibility instead, along with numerous other “middle fingers” they have given God, His Son, and His Word. The “piper” is about to be paid. The votes they thought they could buy by allowing millions of illegals into our nation will instead buy terrorism and numerous other difficulties. Those who naively voted in these leftists, Marxists, atheists, and liars are about to taste the fruit of their ignorance and rebellion. And a savorless church with its low-watt light will receive its wake-up call. We are all about to taste and see that God is not only good - He is also in charge. I absolutely believe America will be saved and that God will help us recover. But it will not be without pain. As a nation, we have stiffened our necks and doubled down on our pride, rebellion, and stupidity. We have sown the wind, and the whirlwind is coming. At least five proven prophetic voices whom I trust believe the shaking will begin intensifying this month. They are not saying this because of the eclipse, though they seem to be acknowledging that it, as well as other events occurring in our nation, could be further signs that the shaking will now increase. I concur with them. I believe the shaking, which I have called a merciful and redemptive shaking, is about to intensify. It is merciful because its purpose is to turn our hearts redemptively, not because it won’t be painful. It will be. But mercy will triumph over judgment, and America will survive and be restored. Continue to repent on behalf of America and her sins, and decree that she will be saved through a third great awakening. Again I say, the prayers of a remnant are saving America and birthing Earth’s greatest revival. I also believe our prayers can lessen the reaping from our rebellion. It is not time to back up, grow weary, or lose heart. It is time to be unwavering, determined, and strong. Whatever comes in the shaking, God’s Kingdom will not be shaken. It will increase. I have mentioned the following quote by Thomas Paine in previous posts, yet its relevance for us today is great. He wrote it the year our nation was born, though we were just beginning the war to enforce the birth. General Washington made all of his soldiers read the entire article. Here is a portion: “These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country, but he that stands by it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph…”(1) Pray with me: Father, we are thoroughly convinced of Your goodness. We are convinced of Your grace and mercy, that Your heart is to redeem, not punish. This is a sustaining truth in difficult times, an anchor for our souls. You are a good and wonderful Father; though You allow prodigals to eat with the pigs and wallow in the filth of their unwise decisions, You also run to meet them when they return to You. We are thoroughly convinced that America will return to You and be restored - because of Your heart and unparalleled wisdom. You know how to turn us back. We are also confident that in any shaking, Your Kingdom will stand strong; those who stand with it will, as well. Not for a moment do we believe that satan has outwitted or could ever overpower You. And we do not doubt for a moment that You will have the harvest You have spoken of and promised Your Son. So we say, let the shaking intended to deliver us from evil intensify. Let it come and awaken millions to their need of You. Let it come to free millions of young people from the demonic ideologies with which they have been fed and poisoned. Let it come to open our hearts and prepare us for the outpouring of Your Spirit. Our eyes are on the goal You have in mind, not the pain that will endure for a season. We pray this in the matchless name of Jesus...! Our decree: We declare that God is for us, not against us. *************************** Click on the link below to watch the full video. -------------------------------------------------------- https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/thomas-paine-publishes-american-crisis

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Sandy Ingram Zimbabwe has a new structured currency...People will have 21 days from Friday April 5th to exchange their currency for the new structured currency... [We] were always concerned Iraq would use this same process to eliminate the millions of Iraqi dinar banknotes outside the country. If this were Iraq and not Zimbabwe, you would only have 21 days to exchange the currency within Iraq. Pimpy Iraq is transforming in a very quick and powerful way is great news... The fact they're able to accomplish all these projects and there are a lot of huge projects being accomplished somehow with an exchange rate of 1320...

Militia Man Al-Sudani is coming to America and hopefully coming home that he has accomplished everything in Iraq's favor as a whole. So give or take, whether it's before he comes home or after he comes home Iraq is going to be whole. That means everything is in Iraq's cards...they have the ability to be sovereign again. That's what we're waiting for. Frank26 Question: "How long do you think we'll have to exchange IYO?" I don't know. Normally they give you anywhere from 6 months to about a year.

Pimpy There seems to still be some confusion about the official exchange rate versus the real effective exchange rate... comments like "When they get to the real effective exchange rate" or When they switch to the real effective exchange rate." Or "When they use the real effective exchange rate"...This is confusing...what a real effective exchange rate is...An official exchange rate is at which country's currency can be exchanged for another country's' currency...Real Effective Exchange Rate is a broader measure that takes into account not just one bilateral exchange rate but a weighted average of a country's currency against the basket of it's major trading partners...Iraq already reports the effective exchange rate...It's already there...you don't have to wait for the real effective exchange rate to come popping up, it's already being used... Militia Man We're watching Iraq go international. It's an interesting study. It's fascinating... Iraq is coming up... Iraq is moving in the a direction to go international and it's phenomenal.

A rare scene.. Anti-Hamas expressions in the streets of Gaza (photos) Arab And InternationalIsraelGazaAgitationGaza War 2024-04-08 // 00:45 Shafaq News/ After months of war in the Gaza Strip, “rare” protests emerged against the Hamas movement’s policy in managing the war file internally and externally. In a "rare" scene, a group of young men wrote statements denouncing the rule of the Hamas movement, and others opposing the movement's leader in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, who is seen as the de facto leader of the Hamas movement. Phrases such as “Down with Hamas” and “Down with Sinwar” appeared on a statue in the middle of a square erected by Hamas near the Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, in the latest form of protest against the movement that has controlled Gaza since bloody clashes with the Palestinian Authority in 2007. Near a camp for displaced people, east of the city of Rafah, others wrote similar phrases on a cement cube, in light of the mounting anger over the movement’s management of the situation in the Gaza Strip, with the war continuing for more than seven months. Demonstrators had previously gone out in a shelter center west of the city of Rafah to demand an end to the war, and criticized the separation of Hamas leaders, most of whom live outside the Gaza Strip, from the widespread suffering experienced by the residents of the Strip as a result of the war and displacement. A limited demonstration also took place in the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, demanding the release of hostages held by Hamas and an end to the war, in a rare protest against the movement’s policy, which a wide sector of Gazans view as having dragged Gaza into an uncalculated battle with Israel, which caused the destruction of the Strip. In justifying its widespread attack on Israel on October 7, Hamas said, “The operation was a necessary step and a natural response, to confront the hatched Israeli plans aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause and resolving sovereignty over Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy sites.” She indicated in a document published last January, entitled “This is our story... Why the Al-Aqsa Flood?”, that “the Palestinian people have suffered from all forms of oppression, injustice, confiscation of basic rights, and apartheid policies, and the Gaza Strip has suffered from a stifling siege that has continued since For more than 17 years, it turned into the largest open-air prison in the world.” https://www.shafaq.com/ar/عربي-ودولي/مشهد-نادر-عبارات-مناهضة-لحماس-في-شوارع-غزة-صور
