Update 2: OPEN LINES NIGHT: Previous unknown group of Andromedans Inbound

Update 1: I mistakenly typed the year as 2012, it should have read 2020.  Thanks to Martha for catching that flub.

Update 2: see below 

August 26, 2020

Terran note: For lack of a descriptor (they didn't give me one), I call these UAG, "Unnamed Andromedan Group". It's hard to describe these beings, very high frequency, I could feel them in my heart, I joke below they felt like "12D Germans", I got the sense they were a precise and no nonsense and matter of fact, group of beings.  Denice felt some humor in them. They seem to be of perhaps variable form?

OPEN LINES NIGHT

Terran: Anyone out there want to chat?

Denice: One sec

UAG: SEVERAL PARSECS AWAY. BEGIN. 

Terran: Hello!

UAG: TERRAN. YOUR BEING DESIRES A COMMUNICATION. 

Terran: Yes

UAG: BEGIN. 

Terran: Do you have a name?

Denice: (White body suits with pointed hoods)

UAG: TERRAN YOU KNOW US AS “ANDROMEDANS”. PARTICULARLY WE RE-ENTER THE GAME NOW AFTER “LAUNCH” FROM OUR FORMER LOCATION. NOT RECOGNIZABLE TO EARTH.   WE TEMAIN IN FORM AND IN “SPACE”  FOR NOW.  TERRAN. BEFORE YOU ASK. KNOW THAT “ANDROMEDAN” ENCOMPASSES A VAST DOMAIN. WE RETURN TO OUR ORIGINS AS PLANNED NOW. 

Terran: Yes it’s a big galaxy

UAG: WE ARE “ANDROMEDAN” BECAUSE OF OUR TRAVELS THROUGH THE “WORLDS/REALMS” THERE.

Terran: Have I interacted with your group or people before ? Did you originate on Earth?

UAG: TERRAN. ORIGINS ARE “SUBTLE”. WE AFFIRM EARTH CONNECTIONS. 

UAG: THERE IS NO PREVIOUS INTERACTION WITHIN THE EARTHSPHERE. . WE ARE SEVERAL PARSECS AWAY STILL.

Terran: I infer your destination is the Earth solar system?

UAG: TERRAN YES. AND WITH GREAT PLEASURE. ALTHOUGH QUITE LATE TO THE GAME. 

Terran: What name would Thor know you as?

UAG: OUR FLEET IS 6 GRAND CRAFT AND MORE THAN 10,000 BEINGS NOW.   WE ARE BEYOND NAMES. THE FORMS INTERPRETED HERE BY THE TRANSMITTER ARE NOT THE “UNIFORMS”.   [This felt like saying "we are more than our bodies]

UAG: TERRAN. WE KNOW OF COMMANDER THORAC AND THE COMPLETE FORMER COMMAND . IN ALL RESPECT. 

Terran: Are you UNIVERSALS?

UAG: TERRAN.  BY YOUR MEASURE, IN SOME REGARD. YES.  IT IS OUR DUTY AND PLEASURE TO RETURN TO BASE IN AN EFFORT TO “SHIFT” THE DYNAMICS. 

Terran: Base being Earth correct?

UAG: TERRAN. YES. 

Terran: I want to ask how long has your journey been from base but time is an Earth illusion...  I take it you’ve been traveling a long time?

UAG: TERRAN. “WHAT YOU CALL “TRAVELING” WE CALL EXPLORATION. RETURN TRIP GUARANTEED. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. 

Terran: Here we call that “fashionably late” in all humor.

Terran: What is your people known for? How large are your ships?

UAG: TERRAN. OUR BEINGS ARE NOT KNOWN IN YOUR RECORDS. OUR SHIPS VARY IN SIZE. SPEED IS A DETERMINING FACTOR IN SIZING A SHIP. RECALL? ? 

Terran: There is much I have yet to recall...  but that seems common sense.

Terran: What do you look like? Are you in our frequency range of vision?

UAG: TERRAN. HUMANOID FOR NOW. THAT SHOULD SUFFICE. EXPLORATION HAS GIVEN US AN ADVANTAGE. THE VARIED LIFE FORMS NEARLY ALWAYS REVERT TO HUMANOID. EFFICIENT STRUCTURE AND FORMS. TERRAN. UPON ARRIVAL. ALL WILL BE VISIBLE THERE. 

Terran: Do have an estimate how long that would be in our perception of time?

UAG: TERRAN. ESTIMATED ARRIVAL BEFORE YOUR EQUINOX. DOCKING PATTERNS PLANNED BEYOND YOUR MOON SATELLITES. 

Terran: What draws you now to Earth? Answering a call? Exploration? Curiosity?

Terran: (I feel their energy - feels something like being at higher altitude in Colorado)

UAG: TERRAN.  IN OUR NOW.  EARTH IS THE “DESIRABLE”. LOCATION. THE EXPANSIONS YOU EXPERIENCE ARE ENTICING. THE CONSTRAINTS. ABHORRENT. 

Conversation with Thor 8/17 & 8/24 Brotherly Advice and Images of a Battle on Mars

Conversation with Thor 8/17 & 8/24

August 17th was a particular rough day.  I really had my fill of all the COVID19 mask and mask-shaming madness.  I just wanted all the nonsense to end.  Not my best day honestly. 

Thor gave some tough brotherly advice and a set of images he asked me not to reveal.  Yesterday he told me the images are no longer embargoed as the Op is complete.

I debated whether to include the personal advice from Thor but decided to post it all.  There's a reason I am in the form I am in, and I think its because I needed to share the same journey as the rest of humanity until this is over.  The limitations are frustrating, but it's mine to deal with. And perhaps what I learn is useful to others in my predictament.

Abundance

@LaLuminista

ABUNDANCE IS PERPETUAL.

Just as clouds block the sunshine; 

we block the flow of abundance by denying our connection to Source. 

The sun always shines & abundance is always available.  

You are worthy & deserving to have and be within this flow.  

Accept your soul birthright.

I just wanted to talk to a couple of you—ah my name is John Paul Rice for the people that are watching that may not know who I am—my friends know me.  I’m an independent film producer. I’ve been in Hollywood for about 20 years. I started my film career in “Remember the Titans.” I worked at Senator International, later Mandate pictures under the producers who did Juno, The Grudge, Harold and Kumar, Stranger than Fiction and eventually the Hunter Games when they were back at the Lion’s Gate.

ABN AMRO shrinks investment bank, quits trade, commodity finance

This is one of those milepost markers in where we are at in Bank Trade and Finance... Amsterdam was always a kid brother to London in bank trade and finance, but significant in its worldwide reach.  - Terran

ABN AMRO shrinks investment bank, quits trade, commodity finance

EMEA
Steve Slater

ABN AMRO is quitting trade and commodity finance activities and will wind down corporate banking in the United States, Asia, Australia and Brazil under a plan to shrink its investment bank.

About 800 jobs will go.

The Dutch bank said on Wednesday the focus of its slimmed-down corporate and institutional banking (CIB) will be on clients in Northwestern Europe and clearing.

It is setting up a non-core unit for CIB, which will include about €14bn of risk-weighted assets, or 35% of CIB's total. The non-core arm will have about €18bn in client loans, or 45% of CIB.

It said about 800 employees are currently dedicated to non-core activities and the wind-down of the businesses is expected to take three to four years and be capital accretive.

"We have concluded that to be successful, CIB’s activities need more focus and scale," said CEO Robert Swaak. "Furthermore, CIB will need to reduce risk to adhere to a moderate risk profile and will align to the bank’s overall strategy and financial and non-financial ambitions."
ABN said in natural resources and transportation and logistics it will focus on European clients only.

Its only non-European corporate banking activities will be clearing, where the bank said it had taken several de-risking measures in recent months after incurring a large loss.

Stricter lending criteria and credit limits have been set based on clients' individual credit rating, available collateral and geography of origin.

ABN has already cut its markets activities in recent years, including equities, rates, credit, currencies, equity capital markets and debt capital markets. The markets business largely serves clients in private banking, commercial banking, CIB and treasury.

Several other European banks are reported to be rethinking their trade and commodity finance operations, including Natixis and BNP Paribas, after losses in energy trading.

ABN said about 80% of the CIB non-core portfolio will mature by 2023 through natural run-off. It said it will consider options to accelerate the wind-down.

Its loan impairment allowance for the non-core portfolio is €1.4bn and it expects additional impairments. It also expects to book a provision of about €200m for staff-related costs.

GOING DUTCH

ABN has made several attempts to increase profitability and reduce risks in CIB after losses in the energy sector, but it said the attempts had been insufficient.

Swaak said the core Amsterdam-based CIB business will target markets where it has scale and can be sufficiently profitable and try to build on its profitable domestic franchise and footprint with links with the Netherlands.

That is likely to focus on mid-sized clients in sectors such as financial institutions, shipping, technology, media and telecoms, and real estate, and on products including lending, payments and asset-based finance, as well as the markets products.

It is sticking with clearing because it has strong roots in the Netherlands, offers diversification of income and is countercyclical, the bank said.

ABN said it wants the core CIB business to produce a return on equity of 10% in the long term. The core business' pro forma RoE was 9% in 2019 but was negative 12% in the first half of this year.

CIB made an operating loss of €894m in the first half - including a €209m loss for what will remain as core CIB - after an impairment charge of €1.4bn. In 2019, CIB made a profit of €291m - including €280m in the core business - on revenues of €1.9bn.

CIB's impairments dragged ABN to an overall net loss of €5m for the second quarter.

ABN was bailed out by the Dutch government in 2008 and was reprivatised in a 2015 initial public offering. The Dutch state still owns a 56% stake.

Its shares jumped 8% to €8.74 on Wednesday after the review and Q2 results.

ABN Amro Exit Threatens Commodity-Trader Liquidity Squeeze
By Andy Hoffman  and Ruben Munsterman
August 12, 2020, 4:20 AM CDT

ABN Amro Bank NV became the latest bank to exit the commodity and trade finance business, further shrinking the pool of funds available to trading houses moving trillions of dollars of oil, metals and grains around the world every year.

The Amsterdam-based lender, once a key pillar of a triumvirate of Dutch banks providing short-term loans to traders, said Wednesday it’ll close the division after racking up losses from a series of trading scandals. Following similar retreats by one-time stalwarts BNP Paribas SA and Societe Generale SA, it’s a blow for commodity traders dependent on such credit to fund their operations.

The Amsterdam-based lender, once a key pillar of a triumvirate of Dutch banks providing short-term loans to traders, said Wednesday it’ll close the division after racking up losses from a series of trading scandals. Following similar retreats by one-time stalwarts BNP Paribas SA and Societe Generale SA, it’s a blow for commodity traders dependent on such credit to fund their operations.

“Our position is a long-term strategic decision,” Chief Financial Officer Clifford Abrahams said on a conference call. “We looked at our business, and looked at the capital deployed at our business, and concluded we can use those resources better.”

ABN Amro, among the top 10 trade finance banks, will let existing loans wind down over the next three to four years. “We will work with our clients to do it in an orderly way,” Abrahams said in an interview. “It’s tough for our clients and our staff, but we are convinced it’s in the best interest for the bank.”

Commodity traders rely on short-term finance deals from banks to fund the buying, transport, refining, blending and storage of raw materials -- from crude oil to wheat to zinc. Without access to the low-cost loans, they can’t fund their day-to-day operations.


“ABN’s decision to pull out of commodity trade finance is worrying for the sector,” said Jean-Francois Lambert, an industry consultant and former trade finance banker with HSBC Holdings Plc. “ABN was a very active player in the industry.”

Options Shrinking

While major trading houses such as metals giant Glencore Plc, top independent oil trader Vitol Group and Trafigura Group still have scores of banks to tap for loans, the options for mid-size and smaller niche traders are drying up.

“What we are witnessing could trigger a liquidity squeeze for the sector,” Lambert said. “Already smaller players are feeling the pinch as lenders have become more restrictive.”

ABN Amro and Dutch peers ING Groep NV and Rabobank have a long and storied history of lending vital short-term finance to trading houses.

But the global pandemic and wild gyrations in commodity prices have brought to light a wave of scandals. In the collapses that followed, Singapore oil trader Hin Leong Trading (Pte) Ltd. left more than 20 banks on the hook for $3.5 billion in losses amid allegations of fraud. Earlier this year, ABN said two client cases accounted for 460 million euros ($540 million) in provisions, including one tied to a “potential fraud case in Singapore.”

Stricter Rules

As well as the scandals, oil’s slump and a historic decline in fuel demand have changed the landscape for lenders to commodities traders.

Trading-house finance executives and bankers have said the sector will need to adopt tighter loan rules and restrictions to guard against further frauds and losses. Major industry lenders have already cinched their purse strings, raising the cost of borrowing amid more than $9 billion in potential losses for banks.

Even the biggest traders could be squeezed if more banks pull back or exit the space.

“Commodity trading needs ‘other people’s money,’” Lambert said. “Any restriction on the availability of such liquidity will have an immediate effect on their ability to trade.”

ABN Amro said Wednesday that its trade and commodity finance activities will be “discontinued completely,” as it reported a net loss of 5 million euros.

The bank’s exit follows the halt of new trade finance loans by France’s BNP Paribas. BNP was, for many years, the leading lender to the industry, accounting for as much as half of some trading houses’ bank lines. It cut trade finance operations significantly after 2014 in the wake of a record fine for violating U.S. sanctions, but was still a top 10 lender.

Fellow French bank Societe Generale confirmed this month it was closing its trade commodity finance unit in Singapore following the collapse of Hin Leong and other trading-house scandals.
