Mon. 7 April 2025 URGENT: QFS IS ACTIVE — GESARA IS REAL — THE DEEPSTATE IS FALLING FAST …John F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram

The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is LIVE and tracking every corruptt banker, every treasonous politician, and every dirty transaction across the globe. The Deepstate’s days are DONE.

Bankers are being arrested in real time. Gitmo flights are increasing. The QFS is untouchable — run by quantum satellites protected by classified Space Force tech, rendering all Cabal attempts to hack or delay the system completely useless.

GESARA is no longer a dream — it’s coming FAST. Every country that wants to trade must be GESARA compliant. Those that aren’t? They’ll be left behind, begging for survival through bartering like medieval peasants.

The Central Bank system is collapsing. The QFS is already replacing SWIFT, crypto, and outdated blockchains. All currencies will be backed by real gold or assets, not fake fiat or imaginary tokens.

This isn’t some future event — it’s happening RIGHT NOW. The QFS has been secretly running alongside the corrupt system, catching every illigal transfer. That’s why so many bankers have vanished.

Every dollar, euro, and yen is being digitally tagged, traced in real-time. If it’s stolen, the system knows who, when, and where, and arrests follow instantly. The Cabal is out of moves — and they know it.

The Revaluation and Global Currency Reset (GCR) are ready to roll. A powerful formula is being used to value every currency equally, backed by physical gold. When it launches, the price of gold becomes irrelevant — because all money will be tied to real assets.

Walkingstick  Iraq has mirrored our banks and Iraq has mirrored our ports. 

Jeff   The rate change is extremely close...It's ridiculously close right now.  It's amazingly close.   When the rate does change I will let you know...

Militia Man  Article:  "The Central Bank of Iraq denies stopping supplying travelers with dollars and the official price"  Well well! The Central Bank is putting the fake news on notice! The bank will not tolerate fake news and may prosecute those responsible for today’s earlier article stating that Iraq stopped selling dollars to travelers at the official exchange rate. This shows there are entities that want to stir up doubt and that doubt goes against her focus on sustaining confidence in the banking system! Good on the central bank!

Clare:  The Central Bank of Iraq sets regulations for the international use of bank cards. Document

4/7/2025

 The Central Bank of Iraq issued a new circular containing regulations for the use of bank cards (credit, debit, and prepaid) outside Iraq. This circular aims to strengthen oversight of international transactions and ensure the safety of future growth in international settlement payments.

The circular, dated Monday, April 7, 2025, and received by Shafaq News Agency, stated that the new cards will be activated for use outside Iraq 30 days after their issuance date. The relevant authorities will later be provided with lists of relevant merchant categories (MCC Codes) within the specified controls.

The Central Bank confirmed the suspension of these rules effective April 20, 2020, with the possibility of reviewing them periodically to support the sustainable growth of international settlement payments. 

He also noted that the current limits on international transactions involving prepaid cards, whether issued by banks or payment service companies, will remain in effect.

On the other hand, the circular clarified that travelers will continue to receive their foreign currency (dollars) at the official Central Bank rate, in accordance with the procedures adopted within the current e-governance system.

The bank confirmed in its circular that the new limits aim to regulate the use of payment cards issued by Iraqi banks, including debit and credit cards, according to the following categories:

Retirees: $10,000 per month or equivalent.

Travel: $20,000 per month or equivalent, including airfare, hotel reservations, and car rentals.

Treatment outside Iraq: $50,000 per month or equivalent.

General uses outside Iraq: $5,000 per month or equivalent.

He added that the maximum limit for using merchant bank cards outside Iraq will be $20,000 per month or its equivalent.

He also indicated that the new cards (debit, credit, and prepaid) for international use will be activated 30 days after their issuance date, with these rules to be implemented starting April 8, 2025, and to be reviewed periodically to support the growth of international payments.

The bank explained that it will later provide the relevant authorities with the merchant category codes (MCC codes) associated with these regulations, while the current ceilings for prepaid cards issued by banks or payment service providers will remain in effect.

The Central Bank sent a copy of the circular to a number of entities, including the Banking Supervision Department, the Non-Banking Financial Institutions Supervision Directorate, government and private banks, branches of foreign banks operating in Iraq, and electronic payment service companies, urging them to adhere to the aforementioned regulations.

Markets Crash, Debt Explodes: Why 2008 Was a Warm-Up for 2025

Daneila Cambone:  4-7-2025

“It goes far beyond just a correction. It's the entire global debt-based system that's at risk in my opinion,” says Tim Wood, CPA and publisher of market newsletter Cycles News & Views.

 In an interview with Daniela Cambone, Wood introduces his long-term economic cycle research, explaining that historic market cycles—from the Panic of 1819 to the Dot-Com bubble—have consistently followed a pattern of boom and bust.

 In an interview with Daniela Cambone, Wood introduces his long-term economic cycle research, explaining that historic market cycles—from the Panic of 1819 to the Dot-Com bubble—have consistently followed a pattern of boom and bust.

 However, he identifies the post-2002 era as uniquely precarious: unlike previous cycles fueled by real economic innovation, this one relies heavily on government debt and stimulus with no solid economic underpinning.

If the third decline “bites,” it could trigger a deflationary spiral similar to the Great Depression, warns Wood.

Gold Telegraph: The Fort Knox Question, Prelude to a New System?

THE FORT KNOX QUESTION: PRELUDE TO A NEW SYSTEM?

In 1944, the world’s most powerful leaders gathered in Bretton Woods to discuss the future and write the rules of a new global monetary order.

Gold Telegraph: The Fort Knox Question, Prelude to a New System?

THE FORT KNOX QUESTION: PRELUDE TO A NEW SYSTEM?

In 1944, the world’s most powerful leaders gathered in Bretton Woods to discuss the future and write the rules of a new global monetary order.

There’s one critical detail many forget…

The United States controlled the lion’s share of the world’s gold, granting it the power to influence the outcome and define the system itself.

Fast forward to today:

• The President of the United States is calling for an audit of the gold held in Fort Knox.

The current Treasury Secretary?

• He says he has been called gold bug throughout his career.

With the trade war now in full swing, change is certainly in the air.

According to a top economic adviser to the U.S. President, more than 50 countries have approached the United States to begin trade talks.

Are we getting closer to a Bretton Woods moment?

We very well could be.

The U.S. Treasury Secretary previously said:

“We will need a grand global economic reordering, and I’d like to be a part of it. I’ve studied this.”

Last week, Scott Bessent explained in an interview with @TuckerCarlson why gold remains so interesting and also pointed out that the entire global trading system was once anchored to gold until Nixon took the U.S. off the standard.

The world is shifting.
Quietly, but unmistakably.

Nations are accumulating gold, questioning old alliances, and preparing for a future no longer tethered to the previous rules.

What once seemed unshakable is now under review, from Fort Knox to the foundations of international trade.

We’ve seen this before.

Power consolidates, confidence erodes, and a new system emerges, often born not in the spotlight but behind closed doors.

The question now isn’t if we’re approaching another Bretton Woods moment.

The question is: 
Who will define it this time?

Militia Man  Al Sudani's tone got my attention today.  He speaks of radical reform changes to come.  It should grab everybody's attention when this man talk with purpose like that.  Like it or not radical change is coming to Iraq.  The Development Road Project is going to be a really big deal.  It's not going away...It's front and center.  That should have everybody as excited as I am because it's welcoming to see the amount of things we are watching being accomplished that we have never seen before.

Global Financial Crisis:

Sun. 6 2025 CNBC’s Jim Cramer
Warns of ‘Black Monday’-Style Market Crash Amid Trump Tariff Shock …QFS on Telegram

CNBC host and veteran market analyst Jim Cramer has issued a dramatic warning following President Trump’s sweeping new tariff policy, cautioning that the economic shock could rival the infamous Black Monday crash of 1987. In a heated segment, Cramer called the administration’s actions “a direct hit on the global economy” and said investors should brace for “violent volatility.”

The warning comes just days after Trump announced a baseline 10% tariff on all imports, with elevated rates targeting key trade rivals like China. Markets responded swiftly and sharply: the S&P 500 dropped 6%, the Nasdaq 5.8%, and the Dow plummeted over 2,200 points in a single session — the worst trading day in years.

Cramer compared the sudden economic jolt to the events of October 19, 1987, when the stock market crashed by over 22% in one day. “We are entering dangerous territory,” he said. “You cannot shock the system this violently and expect orderly reactions. We’re playing with fire.”

While the Trump Administration insists the tariffs are necessary to protect U.S. jobs and sovereignty, critics like Cramer warn of rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and a possible recession. JPMorgan recently raised the probability of a U.S. recession to 60% in response to the unfolding trade war.

As global markets continue to reel, Cramer’s prediction hangs in the air: “This could be the beginning of something much worse if cooler heads don’t prevail — and fast.”

Restored Republic: WHITE SWAN Initiated – Trump’s Final Operation Is Underway. …Quantum Financial System on Telegram

March 29, 2025. Etch it into your memory. History will remember this date, even if the world around you pretends it never happened. The silence in the media is deafening because what’s unfolding now is not a drill—it’s the real thing. The world is being quietly but forcefully reshaped by an operation decades in the making. “WHITE SWAN” has been initiated. And this isn’t just a military maneuver—it’s the final stage of a spiritual war that has lasted generations. Trump didn’t just return. He never left.

GESARA is no longer theory—it’s becoming structure. As the dark web of globalist power dissolves, the Quantum Financial System quietly takes its place. The IRS is losing grip. Central banks are bleeding. Gold is no longer an antique—it’s the backbone of what’s coming. Trump’s team, alongside the Global Military Alliance, has already begun simulations for debt cancellation and asset redistribution.

Stay grounded. Stay alert. Because “WHITE SWAN” isn’t a warning—it’s a signal. The last move before checkmate. The final gust that clears the board. Hold the line. The world we were promised is no longer a dream—it’s rising through the shadows, unstoppable, unshakable. And nothing can stop what is coming.

Tishwash:  Launching a private banking reform plan in partnership with Iraqi and international institutions.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, announced the launch of a comprehensive plan to reform private banks, in partnership with local and international institutions. He emphasized that the next phase will witness a qualitative shift in the nature of banking services, based on innovation and digital transformation.

During the Iraqi Banking Sector Reform Conference, which was attended by an Al-Eqtisad News correspondent , Al-Alaq said that Iraqi banks have made significant strides in developing their banking services, but they are required to further embrace modern technology. He emphasized that artificial intelligence must be at the core of future investments in the banking sector.

He added: "The world is witnessing a broad transformation in the financial structure and banking systems, which requires traditional banks to keep pace with this radical change by offering innovative services that meet customer aspirations amidst the tremendous technological acceleration."

The Central Bank Governor indicated that digital currencies will play a vital role in accelerating payment and money transfer transactions, requiring banks to develop their digital infrastructure.

He also noted that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could reshape the global banking landscape, adding: “Successful banks of the future will be those that embrace digital transformation tools and integrate artificial intelligence into their daily operations. link

Tishwash:  Iraq's gold reserves drop by 100 kilograms

The World Gold Council announced on Sunday that Iraq's gold reserves had decreased by 100 kilograms.

According to the latest table published by the Council in April, "Iraq's gold holdings decreased by 100 kilograms, reaching 162.6 tons, down from 162.7 tons the previous month. This represents 14.5% of its remaining reserves."

He added, "Iraq maintained its 28th place on the list out of 100 countries included in the table," noting that "Iraq came in fourth place among Arab countries after Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Algeria."

The Council also noted that "the United States of America tops the list of countries with the largest gold holdings in the world, with 8,133,000 tons, followed by Germany with 3,351,000 tons, then Italy with 2,451,000 tons, while Iceland comes in last with two tons."

The 100-kilogram shortage in Iraq's gold reserves is due to its domestic use and sale in the form of gold bullion, according to Shafaq News Agency's economic correspondent.

It's worth noting that the World Gold Council is headquartered in the United Kingdom and possesses extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of the factors driving market change. Its members comprise some of the world's largest and most advanced gold mining companies. link

Tishwash:  Prime Minister’s Advisor Reveals Plan to Merge Rafidain and Rashid Banks

Advisor to the Prime Minister and Executive Director of the Reform Management Cell, Amer Al-Adhadh, revealed plans to merge Rafidain and Rashid Banks. While addressing the government's achievements in the field of economic reforms, he explained the contents of the "House of Reform" project and its importance to the investment file. He also outlined the contents of the draft law on public-private partnerships, which aims to enhance the investment environment in Iraq.
 
Al-Adhadh told Al-Shabaka magazine, as reported by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), in his talk about the “Reform House” project, “This project is not just a government program, but rather a comprehensive roadmap aimed at achieving sustainable development through interconnected goals, one of which is activating human capital and enhancing national competencies.”
 
He added, "Economic reforms cannot succeed without a legal and regulatory environment that attracts investment, which is what the government is working towards through this project."

Regarding cooperation with the World Bank, Al-Adhadh stated, "The World Bank commended the reforms implemented by the Iraqi government, including the "House of Reform" policies that support sustainable development, and cooperation focuses on supporting financial reforms, providing technical advice, and financial assistance to enhance the stability of the Iraqi economy and improve financial governance systems."
 
Al-Adhadh also noted that "the government has made significant progress in preparing the draft law on public-private partnerships, which is an essential part of the government's program. This partnership aims to enhance cooperation between the government and the private sector, particularly in infrastructure, transportation, and energy projects, thus contributing to stimulating the national economy and achieving sustainable development."
 
Regarding the issue of restructuring the banking sector, Al-Adhadh revealed a plan to merge Rafidain and Rashid Banks into a single entity with the aim of improving Iraq's credit rating and increasing international confidence in the banking sector. He noted that an international consulting firm has been commissioned to oversee the merger process, which includes improving financial and administrative performance and developing the digital infrastructure.

The Prime Minister's advisor also addressed the issue of economic diversification, stressing that "the government has achieved a significant increase in non-oil revenues, which is an important achievement within the framework of the income diversification strategy." He noted that "the government is focusing on improving tax administration, developing customs duties, and stimulating investment in non-oil sectors such as industry, agriculture, tourism, and technology, to ensure the sustainability of these revenues."

Al-Adhadh confirmed that "the economic reforms implemented by the government contribute to strengthening the investment environment and achieving sustainable economic growth, ensuring Iraq has a stronger and more diversified financial future."  link
