Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY:
The television is saying parliament committee is saying there is a new number in the budget. They just admitted we have a new exchange rate and they say they want to be in charge of it, that they want to control, they want to put some votes...Saying the budget has numbers that will change and that's unconstitutional without another reading...It is a 15 day appeals process...
Holly ...based on Iraq’s progress things are definitely on track to being done...I see a culmination of this sometime this summer and it could go now or it could be later, no one and I mean no one will know when...We are definitely in the end time of all of this

Rafi Farber The Forex Markets Are Beginning to Break Down
Arcadia Economics: 6-28-2024
The next 4 months or so are going to be tumultuous.
The chaos is reflected in the currency markets, and it is only a matter of time before gold and silver react forcefully to the changes yet to come this year.
The Japanese yen - the gob of spit keeping the Keynesian pyramid together - keeps plunging lower, and the Bank of Japan has yet to respond.
The more they respond though, the more the markets push back, as there is little that is more profitable than pouncing a cornered central bank.
Just ask George Soros. As order crumbles, silver will be a shining light in the midst of the chaos.
