TNT DINAR UPDATE 1-17-26

The Spaces centers on Tony and Ray’s latest RV/exchange status, why Friday’s anticipated start slipped, and what to expect next week. Banks had staff in early, counted currency, issued numbers, and in some cases posted balances, but access is reportedly deferred until next week. Tony reiterates a 10‑day private exchange window before rates appear on Forex; once on Forex, only the public rate applies. He cites on‑screen bank rates and repeats claimed indicative figures (e.g., VND around $11.40, a ZIM figure near $0.11, and a “Sovereign/Chavoreno” path near $0.30), stressing these came from sources. The delay is tied to geopolitical sequencing: an expected strike/operation involving Iran, carrier positioning (reported 18 hours out mid‑week), a Chinese no‑fly‑zone breach by transports, and broader oil supply diplomacy. Tony references a U.S. House vote (naming JD Vance) and says Trump’s “go” remains needed. Callers ask about timing, carrier arrivals, boots-on-ground, and Forex timing; Tony expects Iran activity to begin within 24–72 hours and exchanges to follow next week (not Tuesday). The hosts also urge financial literacy, reading specific books, prudent investing, and preparing teams, noting potential post‑RV investigations and emphasizing readiness over hype.

TNT Super Saturday Call – Summary and Key Takeaways (Jan 17, 2026)

Participants and Roles

• Tony (host; often referred to as “TNT Tony”).
• Ray (co-host; RayRen98).
• Bus Lady (regular caller).
• American Freedom (caller; business background).
• Freddie (caller; longtime community member).
• Danny in Dallas (caller).
• G Man (MPA) (caller).
• Additional callers (unidentified) with questions on timing and military logistics.

Context and Purpose of the Call

• A short, status update call was held because the Friday call did not occur and Monday is a holiday.
• Tony emphasized he needed to keep the call within an hour but wanted to reduce the gap in updates.

Exchange Status, Bank Activity, and Timeline

• Banks had staff on site early: people were in at 8 AM, even though opening was 9 AM; many worked late into the prior evening preparing for a “go.”
• Some individuals had their currency counted and received numbers and/or provisional account postings today; access to funds was uniformly stated as “next week.”
• Tony reiterated that all rates are visible on bank screens but flagged as “not available for trade”; banks can see them, but cannot transact yet.
• The plan discussed earlier was: start on Friday, then exchange for 10 days, followed by rates appearing on Forex on the 10th day. That did not occur due to delays.
• Current guidance:
  • Expect the related geopolitical operation to start within 24–72 hours.
  • RV/exchange activity is expected 48–72 hours after that start.
  • Tony does not expect Tuesday; “next week” remains the consistent message from banks (exact day unspecified).
• Only “generic changes” were processed at banks today; “other currencies” were not yet being handled.

10-Day Exchange Window and Forex Rate Policy

• Tony repeated the rule of a limited exchange period prior to Forex publication:
  • A 10-day window is planned for exchanging at higher, pre-Forex rates.
  • Once the rate appears on Forex, anyone who hasn’t exchanged will only be able to get the Forex rate, not the higher pre-public rates.
  • This approach is described as intended to avoid legal complications (e.g., lawsuits from unequal access to rates).

Currency-Specific Notes (as discussed by Tony and callers)

• Tony stated multiple times that “the currencies are still good; the rates are still good,” and affirmed the higher-rate framework is intact.
• Specific figures mentioned (as relayed by Tony and repeated by callers):
  • “Saboreno/Chavoreno” (pronunciation unclear, likely referring to a specific currency track): 0.30 (30 cents) rate still “going.”
  • Vietnamese dong (VND): $11.40 “higher rate” was said to still be there.
  • Iraqi dinar (IQD): $28.50 was stated.
  • ZIM: A caller asked if the rate is “11, six zeros and 11,” and Tony affirmed that description. (The phrasing was imprecise; participants acknowledge this rate format is unusual.)
  • Tony referenced other higher-tier figures (“53/73”) in context of possible upper rates; a banker reportedly told someone it could be “way more than that.”
• Clarifications from Bus Lady’s Q&A:
  • Expected 10-day exchange period before rates hit Forex.
  • She sought confirmation that “Saboreno” would be the path (as opposed to a digital variant that would yield lower outcomes). Tony said they were “back to the original” approach and confirmed “Saboreno” for today’s plan.

Geopolitical Factors Affecting Timing (Tony’s account and callers’ questions)

• The exchange rollout is being timed around developments in Iran and the broader region.
• Tony’s assertions:
  • A planned start (Thursday night into Friday) did not occur; he referenced an imposed “no-fly zone” over Iran.
  • He said China flew three transport planes into that no-fly zone, which contributed to delaying the operation to avoid an international incident.
  • He stated aircraft carrier groups were “18 hours out” on Wednesday night, contradicting public reports suggesting a one-to-two-week arrival.
  • He expects an initial “shock-and-awe” phase; the exchange was planned to begin in the middle of that phase during a three-day weekend, then proceed for 10 days.
  • After a vote in the House (Tony named JD Vance as a deciding vote), the plan changed: prior limits were removed; the window could now extend, but they still aim to start the exchange only after gauging the initial response.
• Strategic rationale as Tony explained it:
  • The delay is to assess retaliation risks and effectiveness of initial strikes before opening exchanges (cited locations for possible retaliations: Qatar, Kurdistan, Syria).
  • Oil supply considerations complicate regional and global buy-in; measures to ensure continuity of oil flows have been under discussion.
• Humanitarian claims (Tony’s “boots on the ground” source from Iran):
  • Tony relayed casualty figures of over 30,000 killed, alleging bodies were initially piled at intersections, then moved by truck and “dumped in the ocean” to suppress evidence.
  • He reported shootings of pregnant women and children; claims that militias (reportedly Iraqi militia allowed in by Iran) indiscriminately shot civilians, including in hospitals.
  • He asserted children are being armed and coerced to participate.
  • One caller asked if Israeli forces would be used as “boots on the ground” for protection; Tony said “oh yeah,” suggesting that is part of the plan.

Iraq Readiness vs. Surrounding Risks (Tony’s perspective)

• Tony emphasized that Iraq itself is “ready”: banking system connected internationally, smuggling curtailed, banks sanctioned where needed, external controls over flows applied.
• The holdup is not Iraq’s internal readiness but the surrounding geopolitical operation and uncertainty about reprisals.

Domestic Political Notes (Tony’s comments)

• Tony framed delays under multiple administrations (Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden) as tied to legitimate reasons (infrastructure, financial system building, blockades, removing threats).
• He said people should not simply blame whichever administration is current; he positioned decisions as global-level risk management and protection of Iraqi citizens.
• He stated that the “people who wanted to restrict it lost,” crediting Trump for rejecting restrictions (he compared it to an earlier decision attributed to Obama).
• Tony later suggested that after this is over and within a 90-day window, “a lot of politicians” will be removed from office while under investigation.

Tony’s Personal Disclosures, Tone, and Community Guidance

• Tony identified himself as a Democrat but said he does not agree with all positions of any party; he relays information from sources across the spectrum (including Republicans).
• He reiterated he distinguishes opinion from sourced information; when he says “this is what they told me,” he’s passing on source intelligence.
• He discussed prior military experience and said he held a TS clearance; he described the environment as “3D chess” beyond most public understanding.
• Tony expressed frustration with detractors and said he blocks people who disrupt or attack the information; he referenced advice from CIA contacts about oversharing.
• He recommended reading:
  • Creature from Jekyll Island.
  • Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
  • Project 2025.
  • He believes reading is essential to understanding the “bigger picture” and corporate/financial dynamics.

Financial Literacy, Risk Management, and “Pay It Forward” (Callers’ contributions)

• Freddie:
  • Praised Ray’s system and urged members to build wealth prudently now, not just wait for one event.
  • Advised avoiding flashy spending; let money work; invest systematically; knowledge is worth paying for.
• American Freedom:
  • Confirmed Tony’s message with his bank contacts and described the day as exciting.
  • Urged gratitude and paying it forward; warned many people will be hurting and this “blessing” should be used to help others.
  • Recommended rigorous research: don’t trust a single source; surround yourself with competent experts.
• Tony expanded on risk:
  • Warned that failure to understand corporate dealmaking can lead to multi-million-dollar losses (citing an NBA player’s $10M loss as an example of absorbable risk for some but potentially ruinous for others).
  • Mentioned widespread fleecing in certain crypto contexts as a cautionary tale.

Additional Community Notes

• Ray highlighted the forum as a repository of longstanding information; encouraged people to read.
• “Open Mic” was referenced as a place where systems and methods are shared; invitations require requests (per Ray).
• Multiple birthdays were acknowledged (including G Man’s and Mrs. Renfrew’s).

Q&A Highlights

• Caller (unidentified): Asked if everything is on hold or proceeding; Tony said we are waiting for the Iran operation to begin; once started, the exchange follows.
• Caller (unidentified; military logistics): Asked about carrier timelines and Israeli boots on the ground; Tony said carriers were ~18 hours out on Wednesday and confirmed use of Israeli forces.
• Bus Lady: Asked about the 10-day window, Forex timing, ZIM rate representation, and “Saboreno vs. digitalis”; Tony confirmed the 10-day plan, affirmed the ZIM description offered by the caller, and said they are back to the original “Saboreno” track.
• Danny in Dallas: Queried on the Chinese planes/no-fly zone and projected start; Tony clarified the delay and reiterated “next week” for funds access; Danny raised practical concerns about local banks’ capacity to handle large sums, fraud, and investigations.
  • Tony said many bank personnel are trained even if they claim otherwise; some participate indirectly via relatives; asserted Texas banks are familiar with large flows (“mafia banks” comment).

Key Takeaways and Action Points

• The exchange is contingent on near-term geopolitical developments; multiple sources say we are very close.
• Banks repeatedly told people “next week” for access to funds posted today.
• Expect a 10-day exchange window before rates hit Forex; if you miss the window, you will only get the Forex rate thereafter.
• Currencies and higher rates are still affirmed as “going”; specific figures discussed include VND at $11.40, IQD at $28.50, Saboreno at $0.30, and a ZIM formulation confirmed in the call.
• Read and prepare: the forum contains detailed guidance; the recommended books provide the macro context Tony believes is essential.
• Practice sound financial management: build teams of competent advisors, vet information thoroughly, and be wary of hype or insufficient due diligence.

Closing

• Tony expects the start of the related operation within 24–72 hours and the RV/exchange to follow within 48–72 hours of that start; banks suggest funds will become accessible next week.
• Tony and Ray signed off encouraging members to enjoy the weekend, stay “super fantastic,” and await a verified “begin” signal rather than continuously watching for it.
