Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY:Alaq is on television calling for the price of oil in the budget to be adjusted to $40. It's currently at $70. The only reason we see this happening is Alaq knows there is going to be a rate change... FRANK: That's right, because of a new exchange rate that is coming and because of the oil that will be used in 2025 with the new exchange rate.
Mnt Goat My...CBI...contact...told me there is a planned meeting next week with the director Al Al-Alaq to review the status of the committee work and plan out the next phase of the project to delete the zeros. I was told that the CBI will no longer be supporting the currency auctions come the end of the year...she told me they are now working on many more foreign banks besides the already arranged four (4) U.S. banks that are going to also come into process of supporting the international conversion of dinar to dollars on payment of imports to Iraq. Why would these other banks want to exchange dinars if they were not going to be worth something and globally traded? ...This news was VERY good news for all of us. It tells us there is going be some huge change in policy of currency exchange for international trade with Iraq.

OUT OF CONTROL Bond Yields WILL Trigger Economic CHAOS! - Peter Schiff
Financial Wisdom: 11-9-2024
In his latest interview, Peter Schiff warns that the U.S. economy is on the brink of a major crisis due to soaring national debt, large budget deficits, and rising interest rates. He emphasizes that inflation is already a significant issue and that political promises to reduce spending are unlikely to materialize.
Schiff suggests that the U.S. dollar will weaken as the government resorts to tax cuts and quantitative easing, making assets like gold and silver more attractive for investors. -----
