TNT Conference Call

Wednesday, February 26, 2025

Tony’s Monologue: Tony was waiting on additional information to come in today and the start of the call was delayed. We are still at the go mode. Last night Tony received information saying that there were meetings going on, everything is closing, and to expect it tonight or in the morning. Today the federal reserve was told to expect it today. Everyone is still there, and they are still scheduled to work this weekend. The latest and greatest is that they are in meetings right now and they are expecting it to go tonight. Tony knows we are all frustrated by what we keep getting told over and over again. We can’t make it happen, but we do have contacts that are involved, that are sharing information with us, and involved in the process. Iraq is constantly telling their people and businesses around the world that it is going to happen. A couple of things did happen that figure into things. Zelenski is supposed to be here on Friday and sign a mineral deal with Trump. We might or might not be waiting for this to be done. There is an Iraq deal that they are trying to get done. That they are getting pressure from the Trump administration leading them to believe that their banks will get shut down if they don’t cut off Iran or get rid of the militia. All our administrations do the same thing with them. Apparently Sudani is agreeing with what Trump wants them to do. The three letter agencies are saying they are in meetings but are expecting it tonight. The second update from the banks is that they are supposed to start at 5 pm eastern today. That is what they were just briefed on today. Supposedly they have a go. We will see what happens. Tony thinks that the US wants Iraq to turn off the debit/credit cards from being able to be used for cash outside of the country (Iraq). Hopefully, this is the final piece before this goes. They are eligible to go after 5pm today but we don’t know what time that might be. Is the gold card a cover for the rv? Years ago, people could buy a visa to be able to come over here to the US. It cost about 500K. Today Trump and his administration came out with a visa card that supposedly the intellectuals that have the money, can buy their way into the US and possibly become a citizen. It is being pushed as a brand-new idea to pay down the deficit. Supposedly there are 200,000 people that will pay 5,000,000 a piece to come over here and pay down the US debt. Tony doesn’t think this will be used to cover for the rv. Some of Tony’s contacts are afraid they won’t have a job before too long. In Iraq, the oil flow is supposed to start by Saturday. The rate hasn’t come out yet and that could be why they are saying next week so as to hide that it is coming out sooner. The banks have the numbers, and it is why they have been telling their people that it is going to happen every day for the last couple of weeks. The fed res have been on 12 hour shifts and again being told that it is going to happen every day. Today is a good day to get prepared for the rv to happen if you are not ready. On Monday Tony was told that the UST has authorized the release of the 800 numbers. Tony is hearing again today that the treasury is a go, and he will get it after 5 pm today.

Q & A:

-            Any thoughts on an article saying that Iraq is international? They have said that they are international and Tony is happy that they are saying it. It is also a good thing that they can shut off the cards internationally, which supports this.

-            Other than having your currency separated by country, do we need to do anything else? Know how much you have of each currency and the expected value.

-            Tony is saying that you should know the number of notes you have for each currency.

-            It might be a good idea to make a photocopy of your currency.

Wrap Up: Tony will call them for an added update. Depending on the time things happen, there might or might not be a call tonight. Even if there is a call tonight, we don’t know if they want us just to make appointments tonight or actually go in. Ramadan does start on Sunday, and they will probably want it started before that. Tony is looking for something and might tweet out good news as he gets it. We are all set. Banks are all set. All we can do is get prepared and have your plan ready. Apparently, there are things going on with Chevron in Zimbabwe and Venezuela, the lifting of sanctions, and the currency going up. Everyone again is saying it is done. The banks are saying after 5 pm today. The UN thought it would be last night or this morning and are now saying this evening. We now wait to see if it turns over to us.
