You should be grateful.
You’re one of the tiny handful of blessed souls on Earth who’s actually going to enjoy the utter chaos that’s about to unfold.
The world is going to panic.
You?
You’ve been waiting for this moment for years.
We’ve finally reached the turning point.
Cherish it.
Enjoy the show.
One day you’ll look back on this chapter and wish you’d been a little less stressed… and a lot more present.
Haven’t you noticed how everything you worry about always turns out nowhere near your worst fears — even in the most mind-crushing moments?
Everything will work out.
Remember, chaos is the catalyst.
Fascinating convergence that markets are sliding into chaos with cash positions swelling, catalyzed by the unwinding of Japan’s massive yen carry trade as interest rate differentials shift and liquidity tightens.
This initial shock arrives at the exact moment long-awaited crypto regulations are poised to unlock trillions sitting on the sidelines — perfectly timed with the DTCC launching tokenization in July and the SEC preparing to greenlight tokenized stock trading.
Japan’s situation isn’t just background pressure. It may be the first domino. As leveraged yen-funded positions unwind, institutions are increasingly turning to efficient, real-world settlement rails.
With deep infrastructure already in place through SBI and Ripple’s long-standing partnership, this liquidity event could accelerate XRP mass adoption as the bridge asset of choice for cross-border flows amid the turbulence.
The stage is set for the financial reset.
You should be on the edge of your seat with excitement.
It’s finally time.

Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: Television is saying that the 14 members that were voted on and elected by parliament...they have been approved and they are clear of any Iranian influence or backing. It's a fresh start for your government... FRANK: If we're talking about a fresh start for the government without any Iranian influence, then we have security and stability for the new exchange rate, for the monetary reform purchasing power.
Militia Man Look at all the countries that have completely broadcasted the support for this new prime minister. Why? Because it's a clean government...Now you see these convergences over the last week have been amazing...This is a powerful window...We're seeing the pieces of the puzzle come together...
Jeff This new prime minister is a lot more aggressive than his predecessors...Can the new prime minister move an inch without changing the rate at this point? Where does the rate change fit in with their next steps? ...The new government cannot go another inch forward now until the rate changes...The first day in office the prime minister went straight to the economy...financial matters...reforms, everything that requires the rate to change...The rate change has got to be the next move for him to do everything they're talking about...

Jon Dowling & Mark Z Discuss New Developments in the Greatest Wealth Transfer

We are currently living through a period of profound global transformation. As geopolitical tensions rise and traditional financial frameworks begin to show signs of strain, many observers are turning their attention toward the concept of a “global financial reset.”

Jon Dowling & Mark Z Discuss New Developments in the Greatest Wealth Transfer
5-18-2026
We are currently living through a period of profound global transformation. As geopolitical tensions rise and traditional financial frameworks begin to show signs of strain, many observers are turning their attention toward the concept of a “global financial reset.”
recent podcast featuring Jon Dowling provides a detailed look at how these massive shifts—ranging from international policy changes to the evolution of digital assets—are actively reshaping our world today.
A central theme of the discussion is the shifting power dynamics within the Middle East and beyond. The hosts examine the complex interactions between major world powers, including the United States, China, Russia, and Israel.
By analyzing recent developments—such as changes in leadership within Iraq and the tentative lifting of certain sanctions on Iran—the conversation highlights how these regional adjustments are not isolated events. Instead, they appear to be part of a larger, systemic transition that could redefine global influence, with some experts theorizing about the emergence of a regional pivot toward historical spheres of influence.
Beyond geopolitics, the podcast addresses the anticipated “great wealth transfer” and the transition away from traditional fiat currency systems.
As the world moves toward asset-backed digital currencies, the hosts emphasize that we are witnessing a fundamental change in how value is stored and exchanged.
The discussion touches upon significant milestones, such as Iraq’s digital currency rollout and the ongoing conversations surrounding a potential return to the gold standard, often cited in discussions regarding revitalizing the U.S. economy. For those looking to understand these developments, the conversation offers a unique look at why strategic positioning is becoming increasingly vital.
Perhaps the most crucial takeaway from the discussion is the importance of mental and practical readiness. The speakers lean into the idea that these transitions are not just financial, but have moral and humanitarian dimensions.
By encouraging listeners to remain resilient and informed, the podcast highlights that preparation is key to navigating the weeks and months ahead. Whether it is through understanding the mechanics of an overhauled banking system or recognizing the shifts in global trade, being proactive is stressed as a necessary step for those looking to stay ahead of the curve.
The rapidly evolving financial landscape can feel overwhelming, but staying informed is the first step toward effective planning. As the world undergoes this period of adjustment, it is essential to look at the data, observe the markers, and consider how these changes apply to your own personal strategy.
For those seeking a deeper understanding of these complex topics and practical insights into how to navigate this changing landscape, we encourage you to watch the full video from Jon Dowling. Staying connected to expert analysis is an invaluable tool in ensuring you are prepared for whatever comes next in our global economy.
Ross: IQD Revaluation is Tied to the Adoption of Crypto
Ross: IQD Revaluation is Tied to the Adoption of Crypto

XRP IQD (Supercharges)
Iraq: $100B foreign reserves (CBI: covers 12 months of imports).
Major chunk funds bills, dollar auctions & trade buffers.
Global XRP adoption + ODL slashes that need (12mo → 3mo).
Same reserves now 2-4x more effective for IQD stability & backing.

XRP IQD (Supercharges)
Iraq: $100B foreign reserves (CBI: covers 12 months of imports).
Major chunk funds bills, dollar auctions & trade buffers.
Global XRP adoption + ODL slashes that need (12mo → 3mo).
Same reserves now 2-4x more effective for IQD stability & backing.
No more idle cash for tomorrow’s imports — full power toward currency strength.
If you don’t believe me or you don’t get it, read this.
Ross: The Iran War has Iraq’s Foreign Reserves Under Heavy Pressure — a Signal for the XRP Revolution.
Oil revenues are down, yet the country still has to maintain massive dollar stockpiles just to cover imports, service debt, and stabilize the dinar peg. This pressure is exactly why efficient digital solutions like XRP and its on-demand liquidity model were built.
Instead of tying up billions in idle nostro and vostro accounts across foreign currencies, banks can instantly convert local currency to XRP—or Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin—and then to the destination currency on the XRPL.
No delays, no correspondent banking headaches, and dramatically reduced need for massive FX reserves sitting idle. As XRP becomes the bridge asset for central banks and institutions, countries like Iraq could slash the transactional portion of their reserves.
You wouldn’t need to hoard dollars just to settle tomorrow’s oil invoices or pay for imports. Of course, nations will still hold buffers for trade imbalances, economic shocks, and currency confidence. But XRP doesn’t eliminate the need for reserves—it shrinks the reasons for holding so many of them.
XRP shifts Iraq’s reserves from constantly covering the bills to primarily backing the currency itself — providing fuel for a massive revaluation.
Iraq’s current reserve bleed is the perfect pressure point making these digital rails highly attractive. And Iraq is already moving in this direction with a digital dinar.
The Central Bank of Iraq is working on a CBDC—a stablecoin-like version of the dinar, backed 1:1 by the central bank itself. This digital native currency aims to reduce cash hoarding, cut printing costs, keep money in the formal system, and enable faster, cheaper payments both domestically and across borders.
The digital dinar isn’t some private token; it’s official e-cash on a ledger—programmable, trackable, and instantly settleable.
It fights dollarization and improves liquidity management. Paired with global rails like XRPL, it reduces the pressure to defend the physical currency through endless dollar sales.
A revalued, stronger dinar would make this digital version far more credible and attractive internationally. People want to hold and use a currency that feels stable and valuable.
You can’t have a sudden massive revaluation without reforms — that could wreck exports and destroy the reserves they’re trying to protect. Instead, the blueprint is clear: stabilize via the current peg, build the digital infrastructure, integrate efficient cross-border rails like XRP, diversify the economy, and then revalue to support tokenization.
The digital dinar can launch regardless of the current rate but why launch digital garbage? What it needs is stability, trust in the central bank, and interoperability with the world.
This reserve situation and Iraq’s CBDC push? It’s a major clue about what’s coming: a modernized, tokenized Iraqi dinar built for the digital age, with less reliance on bloated dollar reserves.
Tokenization is fuel for the revaluation. A tokenized dinar = improved credibility/stability/functionality. The writing is on the wall for what’s coming. This is what’s different this time around.
Ross: Why you CANNOT tokenize a hyperinflated currency like IQD in its current broken state: Tokenization is just a digital mirror. It copies the currency 1:1 onto the blockchain.
If the rate is still crushed at 1,300+ to 1 USD (a relic of sanctions & war) you’re only uploading digital garbage. Zero real value. Zero trust. Zero liquidity. No serious player will use it for settlement.
BlackRock - one of the key architects in DTCC’s tokenization launch (limited production July 2026, full Oct) - won’t touch it. They’re building the rails for trillions in real assets (Russell 1000 stocks, ETFs & Treasuries on Canton). They demand legitimate on-chain cash legs.
Sequence is everything: Revalue FIRST to reflect Iraq’s true wealth. THEN tokenize the new, strong dinar so it slots perfectly into the CLARITY + DTCC + stablecoin ecosystem.
BlackRock & major institutions will settle in multiple high-quality tokenized currencies (regulated stablecoins + tokenized deposits). A revalued, gold/oil-backed tokenized IQD at or above USD parity becomes a powerful option for diversification, Middle East oil-trade settlement, hedging, and 24/7 global liquidity. That’s the real play.
When will IQD RV?
Look no further than the Reverse Carry Trade unwinding — the catalyst for XRP mass adoption.
The Clarity Act is the signal that it’s almost time.
Everything is converging nicely right now, there’s no denying it.
Buckle up.
IQD Revaluing is Directly Tied to the Mass Adoption of Crypto.
Progress was made today.
The CBI is making serious strides on digital transformation ahead of the July 2026 government cashless deadline — fascinating how it syncs with President Trump’s July 4th Clarity Act deadline.
Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq personally chaired a high-level meeting today with all licensed electronic payment companies.
They directly addressed the main technical, administrative, and regulatory challenges in the sector.
The group worked on upgrading and expanding electronic payment services across Iraq — the exact infrastructure needed to support future crypto integration.
Boosting overall efficiency in banking and finance was a central focus.
This represents important progress toward Iraq’s modern digital economy and positions the country to participate safely in the global crypto space.
The CBI continues demanding full compliance with its rules and international best practices — critical groundwork for regulated crypto adoption.
Security, reliability, and stronger digital infrastructure were key priorities that will enable secure crypto rails.
Expanding financial inclusion for the Iraqi people remains a top goal, building the user base ready for digital assets.
While this is not a rate change or RV announcement, these steps are building a solid foundation for a much stronger dinar in a crypto-enabled world.
The CBI is methodically constructing the infrastructure for a more powerful, globally respected Iraqi dinar future — perfectly timed to ride the coming wave of digital asset clarity.
Iraq’s government deadlock is finally ending, its digital economy is accelerating, the U.S. is rolling out crypto regulatory clarity, the reverse carry trade is set to unwind, and major geopolitical realignments are unfolding.
These forces are not converging by accident.
They are aligning to unlock Iraq’s economic rebirth and deliver a far stronger, globally relevant Iraqi dinar.
You are watching the foundation of one of the most significant monetary shifts in modern history take shape right now.
NCSWIC.

Majeed KSA: What Iraq has Already Achieved
5-18-2026

Here is how the banking reform is done in Iraq.
What Iraq has already achieved.
Over the last decade, Iraq moved from an almost entirely cash-based and loosely controlled banking environment toward a more internationally supervised system.
Majeed KSA: What Iraq has Already Achieved
5-18-2026
You must read this
Here is how the banking reform is done in Iraq.
What Iraq has already achieved.
Over the last decade, Iraq moved from an almost entirely cash-based and loosely controlled banking environment toward a more internationally supervised system.
Major progress includes:
• Electronic payment expansion
• Salary localization into bank accounts
• Stronger AML/CFT (anti-money laundering) rules
• Integration with SWIFT/global payment systems
• Restrictions on c*****t dollar transfers
• Bank audits and restructuring
• Financial inclusion growth
• ATM and bank card expansion
• Preparation for digital banking and possibly a digital dinar
The biggest turning point came after the U.S. Federal Reserve and Treasury forced Iraq to tighten dollar-transfer controls beginning around 2022–2023. That pressure effectively forced Iraq to modernize its banking oversight.
In 2025–2026, the Central Bank of Iraq launched what it openly called a “comprehensive reform project” with consulting firm Oliver Wyman.
That is one of the clearest signs that Iraq has moved from talking about reform to actually restructuring the banking sector.
The key point is this:
Iraq is no longer in the “planning only” phase.
It is now in the implementation and enforcement phase of reform. That is a major difference from most of the last decade.
Today CBI article May 17, 2026
The Central Bank of Iraq met with electronic payment companies to improve digital banking, strengthen regulations, modernize financial infrastructure, and enforce international compliance standards. The meeting shows Iraq is actively pushing toward a safer digital economy, stronger financial oversight, and broader banking reform implementation.
This article tells you:
This article suggests Iraq is now focused on:
• modernizing the payment infrastructure
• formalizing money movement
• tightening oversight
• reducing cash dependence,
• digitizing the economy and integrating into the global financial system.
That is exactly what a country in the implementation phase looks like.
So this article actually reinforces the earlier conclusion:
Iraq is no longer mainly discussing reform, it is actively restructuring parts of the banking system in real time.

Thom Question: "Is there any information on the estimated price of IQD and VND?" I think IQD will be over $3.22 (likely over $4 imo), and VND will likely be a float (a very fast moving float when it goes). My opinions based and what I have researched.
Jeff As long as the US Treasury has removed Iraq from their OFAC sanctions list then all the banks within the United States will start exchanging the dinar. IMO when Iraq revalues the US Treasury will remove Iraq from the OFAC sanctions list at the same time.
Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar On the television we have our prime minister Zaidi. He said we're going to start the next phase. We will see the launch of a "comprehensive economic and financial reform program" that will strengthen our national partnership and focus on improving services and fighting corruption...He said financial reforms can lead to giving the dinar more real value. But he said only if Iraq actually executes the deeper structural monetary reform behind the scenes...The type of reforms Zaidi is talking to us about are the same one that required before any currency can strengthen.

IQD News Update: Why the KWD Reinstated But the IQD Has Not
Edu Matrix: 5-18-2026
In this video, we explain one of the biggest misunderstandings in the IQD investment community. Many investors compare the Iraqi Dinar to what happened to Kuwait after the Gulf War, but the two situations are completely different.
The Kuwaiti Dinar was already internationally recognized and openly traded on global FOREX markets before Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.
After liberation, Kuwait’s banking system and currency simply returned to their previous internationally recognized value.
The Iraqi Dinar is different. The modern IQD was created after the 2003 war and has remained a heavily managed domestic currency controlled by the Central Bank of Iraq. Unlike the Kuwaiti Dinar, the IQD has never freely traded on the open international FOREX market.
In this video we discuss:
• Why Kuwait’s currency recovered
• What “reinstatement” really means
• Why the IQD is considered a closed currency
• The role of the Central Bank of Iraq
• Why there is no true global market price for the IQD
• The difference between speculation and international currency trading

Rob Cunningham: Our World will Soon See Changes
5-17-2026
Central Bank Death 101
Our world soon changes like this:
Taxation stops feeding debt machinery.
Labor, gains, and productive energy no longer get harvested primarily to service interest on money created by middlemen.
Money becomes measurement again.
Currency shifts from manipulated debt instruments toward honest weights and measures: scarce, auditable, rules-based, redeemable, or transparently issued.
Sovereignty returns to nations and people.
Governments no longer rent their monetary authority from private banking structures. Citizens no longer live under hidden tribute systems disguised as public finance.
Inflation loses its primary engine.
If money is no longer endlessly loaned into existence with compounding interest, purchasing power stops being quietly siphoned through currency debasement.
Productive work is rewarded more honestly.
Labor, savings, entrepreneurship, farming, building, invention, and risk-taking gain value relative to financial engineering.
Wars become harder to finance.
Without debt-note expansion and central-bank credit creation, governments must directly justify spending to the people instead of hiding costs through inflation and borrowing.
Markets become less rigged.
Capital allocation shifts away from privileged insiders closest to the money spigot and toward real utility, real collateral, real productivity, and real demand.
Real assets regain moral gravity.
Gold, land, energy, food, infrastructure, productive companies, and verifiable digital settlement networks become more important than paper claims and synthetic leverage.
Public ledgers matter more.
Transparent settlement systems, atomic exchange, cryptographic proof, and neutral interoperability become civilization-grade tools because they reduce the need for trusted middlemen.
Humanity exits monetary adolescence.
The spell breaks: people recognize that money is not supposed to be a control weapon. It is supposed to be a truthful coordination tool.
Bottom line:
When middleman central bankers no longer sit between human labor and human value, the world moves from debt-based control toward truth-based exchange.
From extraction to stewardship.
From hidden tribute to visible accounting.
From artificial scarcity to lawful abundance.
From financial priesthoods to sovereign participation.

You are going to witness unstoppable progress from here on.
Zoom News: Iraq exported 10 million barrels of oil via the Strait of Hormuz in April, sharply down from about 93 million barrels monthly before the Iran war, the country’s new Oil Minister Basim Mohammed said on Saturday. Speaking at his first press conference, Mohammed said Iraq currently exports 200,000 barrels per day through Kurdistan Region pipeline to Turkey’s Ceyhan port, with plans to increase the volume to 500,000 bpd.
Prime Minister Al-Zaidi’s very first decision in office was to meet with the Minister of Finance and the CBI Governor.
That single move tells you everything you need to know about what’s coming next for your IQD investment.

Seven Currencies Cracked this Week, the Operation is Running
5-15-2026
By David E. Atterton | Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
Seven sovereign currencies cracked against the dollar in the same week. India. Indonesia. Turkey. The Philippines. Thailand. Venezuela. Iran. Not seen in generations.
These are not separate events. They are one operation, well planned, years in the making, being executed in real time.
The Convergence This Week
The seven currencies share one common theme. They all import their oil through the same chokepoint Iran has been controlling since the war began, and they all price that oil in dollars they must earn from another source. Hormuz disruption since February has bid that dollar up faster than any of them can produce it. Reserve drawdown is the math.
The Basket That Was Always Going To Move
The currencies the book has named for the reset have been positioning for years for exactly the conditions you are watching land this week.
• Iraq’s dinar sits at 1,310 to the dollar – a rate set by an occupying authority during post-war reconstruction. Iraq holds $16 trillion in proven natural resources against that rate. The cabinet vote this week is the boarding pass dinarland has been waiting for.
• Venezuela’s bolivar is the demonstration. 504 official, 560 black market, down 439 percent year on year. Trump named Caracas as the model on Monday.
• Vietnam’s dong trades at 26,339 to the dollar. The State Bank of Vietnam has been running a digital VND pilot since early 2025 – the settlement layer that has to exist before any rate move can land.
• Indonesia’s rupiah is one of the seven that cracked this week at 17,430 to the dollar, a record low. Jakarta has been quietly accumulating gold for two years. That crash is the squeeze that forces the anchor.
The Part The Headlines Do Not Connect
The United States Treasury still books its 261 million ounces of gold at $42.22 per ounce – the statutory price set in 1973. Market is at $4,678.
A single accounting entry to revalue that holding to market lifts the Treasury balance sheet by over a trillion dollars. Without raising a tax. Without selling an asset. Without issuing a bond.
That entry is the off-ramp from 52 years of petrodollar order that does not require a dollar crisis to execute. The Iran severance, the new Fed chair this morning, the CLARITY markup, and the Iraqi cabinet vote are the political and legal conditions that make that entry possible.
This Was All Planned Decades Ago
Future generations will read this period the way we read Bretton Woods, the way we read 1971.
Stay pegged to a dollar whose underlying is being rewritten in real time, or re-anchor to gold, commodities, and the regulated digital settlement layer about to be signed into US law. Iraq is being held at the boarding gate until Washington gives the signal. Vietnam is two yards away. Indonesia is being forced by its own reserve math. Venezuela is the demonstration. Iran is the country whose revenue was cut to force the choice on everyone else.

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Thursday May the 14th and I had to think for a minute, and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for tuning in again.
Let's move into our intel segment
Now I did get a little bit right at the beginning of the call tonight, and I'll bring that up in a minute. Obviously, we're looking to see, you know, the where and the when.
Obviously, when is usually the most important thing that we are trying to find out. All right, let's start. First of all, with President Trump, you guys know, took off to China with, I believe, it was a total of 13 business leaders, major names that you guys should know, some of them.
Okay, to go to China, he's also over there with Pete Hegsett, Secretary of War, was also over there with some of the other secretaries in the cabinet. I'm sure he made a big show over there to President Xi, very pretty strong presence of American financial power, and whatever it's all, and of course President Trump, in and of himself, so they went over there and they had meetings last night, China time, and there's probably continuing, but not for much longer.
I think he's going to be on his way back in the next day or so, from what I understand. So that'll be good, but what I found really interesting today, we heard that China was under the thumb, let's call it, of the United Kingdom, and has just now received their sovereignty as their own nation out from under the United Kingdom.
Can you believe that? We didn't know that, that just happened, and I'm sure that that can mean a lot for China, for the Chinese people, and hopefully a new government will take place in China. We'll see, we're not gonna hold a breath on that, but we'll see how that'll be interesting.
The other thing is, I did learn I think that there are 11 point 5 trillion with a T trillion dollars going to Continent of Africa for GESARA. -- $11.5 trillion dollars going to the Continent of Africa for GESARA.
Now let's hope that that money is well infrastructure and everything that Africa needs to take them out of the third world and bring them to the first world could take a little while. We have to see how that all comes together, but I was curious to hear about that. Now that money is supposed to go out Sunday and Monday this weekend, Sunday and Monday, to African nations.
Okay, so we'll see. Keep an eye on you guys that are doing mission work and work in Africa. Be aware of that and keep an eye on that if you can.
Now, when is when is the money coming to us in this country? Well, we don't have that NESARA yet. We don't know, but I have feeling it's going to be pretty close to the timing that Africa is getting their monies from GESARA
Okay, now what about us, Iraq, we are waiting a little bit, not for the government to be put together. We have 43 of 25 members of what they're calling, or the cabinet, evidently they're not going to use the parliament name for some reason, but 23 of 25 members are solid, are good to go.
Two are not. The last two need to be changed out. Let's put it that way, and replace
Now Is that something we're waiting for? No, as long as over half of the members of the cabinet are ready that was good to go, and 23 out of 25 is a lot more than that. We're okay on that aspect
But what does Iraq need to do? They need to bring out a new rate tomorrow, which is Friday or Saturday, which we believe they will either tomorrow or Saturday, and that's really good news. Our rates are pretty much locked in, as you guys know.
The contract rate on the Iraqi dinar has been set within a range, and the range is extremely high, and we should be in really good shape on that. And we're not, we're going to be more than impressed with that. If you're dinar holder , all right. So we got two things knocked out, we're out.
What else ? What about timing that we're hearing? All right, let's go back to this. Is kind of interesting about bond holders. Bond holders and their pay masters have been traveling to Reno, three jets coming in per hour, three jets leaving per hour, 22 out of 24 hours a day, 22 hours out of a 24 hour day, three jets in, three private jets out for bond holders and pay masters to go through what they need to do one last time, getting one last time, and then they're putting those funds in the bond holders' accounts,
and then we don't know exactly when they'll have access to it, but my belief is they'll have access to those funds pretty much around the same time that we get our notifications - 800 numbers by email or the start of our exchanges,
it could be a perfect shotgun start, or when we get money on day one of our exchanges, they get access to funds, think they're going to try to make it pretty much along the lines, so that's what's happening in Reno right now.
All right now, and that's, and by the way, that started yesterday, Wednesday, and it will go through Monday, six days, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, six days to get all the bondholders complete, three jets an hour in, three jets an hour out, 22 out of 24 hours a day.
All right, that's your bond wrap up now.
What about us? I remember Joyce Meyer saying, saying and doing robot dance. What about me? What about me? What about me? What about dance?
Okay. What about us? We are in a situation where we're hearing a couple of things that are really very much together. Well, One there was a redemption center leader conference call and ?? Tuesday or Wednesday, I believe it was yesterday, and it only went 20 minutes, but it was to tell them to get ready for exchanges to begin in 48 hours.
Now, are we ready changes in 48 hours yet? That would be Saturday. Look from now.
Now it would be Saturday. Well, let me tell you what a redemption center leader did send.
He sent the word in an email. It said Saturday.
Well, of course, my question is -- is that Saturday mean emails or 800 numbers – is it Saturday begin exchanges, you know, it could be both, it could be get notified and start exchanges, it could be
Now the other piece that came in from extremely high source was that the kickoff for this for us tier 4B for being is this weekend.
Now I take the weekend as Saturday and Sunday, sometimes Friday is included in what's considered the weekend, but let's just say, for argument's sake, that the weekend is Saturday, Sunday.
Could we get notified Saturday, and then the Saturday indication given in the email would hold up for numbers and possibly exchange on Saturday? I think its very possible.
I don't think Sunday is going to be something that will hold this up. It’s not Mother’s Day -- If you say that was last Sunday, that was something we didn't, we couldn't do.
Now, could it be Saturday we get notified, we don't start till Monday? I guess that is possible, right? You know that, but let's just say we're hearing as late as 5o'clock this evening before the big calls start central time, that we are to be everything kicks off this weekend,
That means we should have them something, whether we exchange over the weekend or change the first part of next week, long as we get those numbers – we are over 50% of the way home, and you guys know that -- Once we get the toll-free numbers to call set appointments , we are golden, then the med beds will be ready for us in our days once we go into the redemption center, let them know that yes, we are of dire need, and yes, for the Zim holder, we are, and that should help you get to the front of the line so to speak, in terms of getting an appointment for the Med Bed and I think that's that's really good, I'm looking forward to it myself.
So we have, the weekend - which should be kicked off, and Saturday could be important for us, and Iraq should have a new rate out Friday or Saturday. That’s good, let's get that done.
And President Trump ought to be on his way back, does he need to be out of the country? For tis to happen
An old lifestyle that was way back. I don't think there's anything to it - at least I’ve been told there isn't from my sources, and I don't even know if he's coming back Saturday, Friday, Saturday, or when he's coming back. I have not tracked that. I don't know that he'll get it done over there with the trade with China.
I'm sure they're making all kinds of cool deals and putting that oil thing together, and I just think, you know, President Trump is the deal king. You guys know he is the man when it comes to trade, and he knows what he's doing, and way ahead of the game, so don't worry about that aspect of it.
We're going to be all set, but I don't know if there's anything else that I need to bring to you guys tonight that is relevant to what we have,
I don't know whether Venezuela is going to truly be our 51st state or I don't know, I don't know. Let's just wait on it.
I told you guys last time I thought Alberta was going to be in Canada, our friends to the north, but we'll see. We'll see what happens. I think ultimately maybe we help, we help all of North America, which includes Mexico and Canada. We'll see how that goes.
Until that time, let's just say focus on what we have and what we are looking forward to now. Let's talk about what we have now,
So let's pray the call out, and then we'll look forward to you guys on Tuesday, and we'll see what happens. See what happens of the weekend. All right, everybody. Hey, halfway attention to your emails if you're not registered at Big Call universe.com do it.
Get put your email in there, which shows you how to register, and then that way we've got you to go send out an email to everybody that we have in our in our file, and we can send out, let you guys know the 800 number when we get it, when we get it vetted, and make sure it's right in an email, plus we hope to post it on our landing page of Big Call universe.com We should be able to look to it and see it when it does come out.
All right, everybody, have a wonderful weekend, a wonderful Friday, Saturday, Sunday, if we see something coming in our inbox from Wells Fargo servers, somehow that they'll send us an email about the toll-free number. So let's pray the call out. Everybody have a great weekend

Militia Man Take a picture of all these little articles that come out in the last three days and you put it all together and it's like, whoa! [Iraq] is integrating into the global financial system.
Jeff 100+ trillion dinar physically outside of Iraq...The central bank doesn't give two craps about it pertaining to the rate change...Here's its purpose...Basil III states countries can use foreign currencies to asset back their own country's currency...The United States has half of Iraq's money supply...along with all the dinar that we the people have...Once we go to exchange with our banks, our banks will turn around and give all that dinar back to the US Treasury...The United States is going to use all that physical dinar, the old 3 zero notes, to asset back the United States dollar because it's a Basil III compliance step...All the dinar outside of Iraq will be used for countries to asset back their own country's currency.
Stephen If you hold the Iraqi dinar you are a very small select spirit led group of people...I don't know what's coming...There's a lot of prophecies or a lot of opinions that we're going to enter very hard times in the near future. I don't know if or when that's going to happen but I do believe this [Iraqi dinar RV] is going to create a lot of provision and abundance for a certain amount of people to get prepared...

Big Day For Dinar Investors !
Dinar For Dummies: 5-14-2026
Today was a big day for dinar investors. The majority of the Iraqi government was approved and the clarity act is 1 step closer to being finalized.
