Now on Wed. 10 July 2024 Fox News discussed the NESARA Law – indicating that the nation had broken away from the Federal Reserve System by way of a Global Currency Reset to gold/asset-backed currencies of 209 Sovereign nations. That act closed the Federal Reserve and IRS, while the US changed over to a sales tax on new items only – and the Deep State Cabal no longer had control of US Taxpayer monies.

Global Currency Reset: (Opinions/Rumors)
Thurs. 11 July 2024 Bruce, The Big Call The Big Call Universe (ibize.com) 667-770-1866, pin123456#, 667-770-1865
An Email went out to Redemption Center Leaders and was received at 5 pm today Thurs. 11 July 2024. That email said that Tier4b would get our notifications either Sat, Sun or Monday to make appointments before or by Tues. 16 July.
There was a meeting in Reno today Thurs. 11 July where they decided when to pay out the Bond Holders, private groups and platform traders.
Another source said everything would start Sat. night and culminate on Sunday 14 July.
There was another meeting in Reno on Fri. 12 July and Tier4b could be notified to get their appointments any time after, but likely on either Sat, Sun or Monday 15 July.
There was a solid rate on the Dong.
You would be far better off to use the toll free number to get an appointment at the Redemption Center to do your exchange. They offer far higher rates than the banks. There was no reason to do exchanges at a bank.
The Redemption Centers would offer the Contract rate on the Dinar that is way higher than we expected.

Thurs. 11 July 2024 Wolverine:
We are just about to start any time or any day now to pull the trigger for the green light so get ready. This is what we have been waiting for, for a very long time. The powers above are saying any time now for the Green Light.
This means the opera, Carpathia’s beautiful words, the video and trumpets of freedom will be posted. This will be quite an emotional moment for all you guys, especially when the notifications come through.
Some bond holder platform leaders have received notifications, and this includes the NDA they needed to sign and other things they need to do to get paid. There are bond holders that must go to a redemption center to cash in.
So this is it. There is no more than I can say. We are waiting.
The private contractors are getting paid. Pretorious is about to go. Very soon, maybe today or tomorrow. I am quite excited for that to happen.
I will be traveling soon, but I must go. You will not hear from me for a while.
I have a special guest today. I want you to listen to what she has to say. She is part of the Chinese Elders. Her name is Elizabeth Rodriquez Ruiz.
Ms. Rodriguez: First of all, my time here is morning, so good morning to all the Chosen Ones. It is my honor to be one of your speakers with Mr. Wolverine and thank you for this opportunity. Wolverine saw my YouTube interview and there are lots of things happening right now.
My Name is Elizabeth Rodriquez Ruiz. I was born in the Philippines, and I immigrated to the USA Guam in 1975, so it has been 45 years now of being a resident, but I still hold a Philippine passport. I was here in the Philippines since June 2019 before the lockdown, kind of like house arrest, as I could not get out because I did not have the vaccine and was isolated.
As I told Wolverine, I am the only legitimate Heir of the Rodriguez Trust. This Trust will fund all the projects in all the countries of the world. It all starts in July of 2024, this year. This is the time of year that will explode with redemption.
How does it work, start, when how and who. I told Wolverine when I was back in the USA in Las Vegas, NV that my sources told me it would always start in Reno.
Everyone will get toll free numbers to tell you where to go and what type of facility location you will go to.
The minute you start your paperwork you must sign your non-disclosure.
The money is now 1% mobilized and the rest of the 99% will be received later from the center in the Philippines.
When the time comes, they will have an inauguration in the Philippines. There will be a huge change in the country. It will be a royal monarchy.
After the inauguration the facilitation of account holders, including people from bankers and holders of all documents accounts and assets, will be entitled to get 10% of their share.
Being heir to the Rodriguez Trust, I am the sole executor and all accounts will be done by sole executor as I am the only redeemer to execute this.
This month of July of 2024 is the platinum Jubilee. All is in place still waiting for greenlight. We are looking at any time this week, or next week, but July will have the most incredible global explosion. Anytime soon now it will happen, it all must be willed from God, we cannot control it. If you are not part of the physical and spiritual it will not work.
WOLVERINE: I received an audio from a paymaster, not sure which one. The paymaster said to be patient as the green light is about to go. This came in an audio. That is good news.
MS. RODRIGUEZ: We wait for the green light. I wish I could go now to the bank to trigger the light, to redeem, but when you look at this globally, there is a time that it is meant to happen. But the war came with Russia, then things were delayed – the time has to be properly prepared.
Anytime soon – it can happen, tomorrow or tonight, remember we must never lose our hope and to have faith. All this is for only the Chosen Ones, as you were chosen for this.

Thurs. 11 July 2024 Goldilocks: The Central Bank of Iraq is now testing their new Iraqi Dinar Rate on the Forex.
Wed. 10 July 2024 Jennifer Fallaw-Doering: “The bonds have been funded. Notifications are expected within a week. Exchange locations are preparing for the rush. I saw a man sitting at a desk watching a computer screen. I felt that they are making sure the program for notifications is safe and working correctly. People walking by around behind him. Someone asked in chat about the 100t Zim. I heard “3” and “ 7 zeros”. So expected rate still stands. Carry on.”
Thurs. 11 July 2024 MarkZ: “I’m hearing the same thing from all of my contacts – that everything is done and they are just waiting for the green light to go. That’s all of my contacts: Banks, Group and Bond leaders, Iraqi contacts, Military contacts – everything is done. They are waiting for the go. …The Prosperity Packages have already started paying out.”

On June 4, 1963, a little known attempt was made to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the government at interest. On that day President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order No. 11110 that returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency, without going through the Federal Reserve. Mr. Kennedy’s order gave the Treasury the power “to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury.” DISCLOSED: President John F.

Nader From The Mid East What's going on in Iraq is really really good. Last month you see me talking about this month, about July. I said from now to July 8th you'll get some good news and that's exactly what happened. You see every proof of possibility to revalue or reinstate. I think it's reinstatement more than revaluation.
RayRen98 SOURCES ARE SAYING "ATTEMPTS" AT THE RATE CHANGE HAVE BEEN MADE EVERY DAY THIS WEEK SO FAR...TECHNICAL ISSUES ARE BEING BLAMED...TIME WILL TELL...
Walkingstick All the sales of oil are now in Iraqi dinars and no longer in American dollars...The National Oil Company of Iraq will now receive the Iraqi dinars, through them, into the banks of Iraq for the GOI to use. No foreign currency. Nobody stealing foreign currency or their currency. Security and stability is because of the control Sudani has.

Foreigners Massively Dumping USD & Rushing To Gold | Alasdair Macleod
Liberty and Finance: 7-11-2024
Although many noticed the rising gold price over the past quarter, most do not realize that is a side-effect of savvy foreign holders of US dollars and bonds dumping the dollar, and not seeing a safe haven in Euros, Yen, or real estate, rushing into to gold as a safe haven asset.
They see the value of the US dollar is going down the drain. Regardless of the outcome of the election, the US national debt crisis is going to get worse, says Alasdair Macleod.
With foreigners massively dumping US dollars and US Treasuries, gold and silver "are the only protection you should consider," he says.

3 Real Assets Primed For Growth In The Coming Inflation Bonanza
3 Real Assets Primed For Growth In The Coming Inflation Bonanza
Notes From The Field By James Hickman/Simon Black 7-11-24
After today’s inflation report showing ‘only’ 3% inflation, the Federal Reserve is all but guaranteed to start slashing interest rates.
The Fed Chairman essentially promised as much to Congress earlier this week, and has warned that if they don’t start cutting interest rates soon, “we could undermine the [economic] recovery.”
These guys still don’t get it. At this point it’s not even about 3% inflation (which is still too high) or 2% inflation. It’s about prices going back down to pre-pandemic levels… or just lower in general.
But that’s just never going to happen. The Fed doesn’t care about price reductions; they’re happy with a slower rate of price increases… which is totally out of touch with what people want and need.
3 Real Assets Primed For Growth In The Coming Inflation Bonanza
Notes From The Field By James Hickman/Simon Black 7-11-24
After today’s inflation report showing ‘only’ 3% inflation, the Federal Reserve is all but guaranteed to start slashing interest rates.
The Fed Chairman essentially promised as much to Congress earlier this week, and has warned that if they don’t start cutting interest rates soon, “we could undermine the [economic] recovery.”
These guys still don’t get it. At this point it’s not even about 3% inflation (which is still too high) or 2% inflation. It’s about prices going back down to pre-pandemic levels… or just lower in general.
But that’s just never going to happen. The Fed doesn’t care about price reductions; they’re happy with a slower rate of price increases… which is totally out of touch with what people want and need.
They’ve been itching to cut rates for months… almost desperate. And in large part that’s because they’re terrified about the US government’s insolvency.
The national debt is about to pass $35 trillion. And high interest rates mean that the annual interest bill this year will exceed the US military budget-- more than $800 billion-- for the first time in nearly 250 years of American history.
The Fed knows that they have to slash interest rates as quickly as possible. With ultra-low rates (like 1.5%), the interest bill on a $35 trillion national debt is manageable… as long as the federal government can rein in spending and stop the debt from growing further.
Of course there are two key problems with this thinking:
First, there is zero evidence that the government will rein in spending. If anything, they seem primed to spend even more. I’ve mentioned several times before that even the US government’s own budget forecasts project more than $22 trillion in additional debt over the next decade.
Second, slashing interest rates will most likely result in significant inflation-- just like we saw in 2021-2022.
We’ve written before how real assets are a safe haven from inflation, and I wanted to briefly discuss three real assets that look especially promising.
The first is physical gold and silver, which serve as a store of value-- especially during inflationary times.
Higher inflation will likely trigger a surge in demand, making the price of precious metals not only keep up with inflation, but exceed it.
But there is another reason why gold will do especially well the worse inflation gets.
The worse inflation becomes, and the worse the US national debt becomes, the more likely the US dollar will lose its spot as the dominant reserve currency. And central banks all over the world-- India, Poland, Singapore, etc. have been feverishly buying up physical gold over the past few years, most likely to prepare for that potential change.
So if inflation picks up, it’s a good bet that central banks will keep buying up gold-- and driving prices higher.
Gold mining stocks should also do extremely well in that scenario due to their exposure to gold prices.
What’s interesting right now, though, is that despite gold being near an all-time high, share prices of many gold mining companies are incredibly cheap.
That’s because central banks-- which have driven gold prices to record highs-- only buy physical gold bullion. They do not buy gold stocks.
However, while the price of gold has already increased substantially, the stock prices of many great gold miners has not.
This is because most of the current demand for gold is coming from central banks. And central banks only buy physical gold— not gold mining stocks.
This means that gold stocks are currently a bargain-- with a LOT of upside potential.
Last, US natural gas is another compelling real asset primed for huge growth.
Right now, natural gas prices in the US are dramatically lower than they are in Europe… and it’s easy to understand why: the US has some of the biggest natural gas reserves in the world, while Europe has almost nothing by comparison. (This is why Europe is so reliant on Russian gas).
And since Joe Biden has banned new LNG (liquefied natural gas) export terminals from the US, it’s difficult to move that US natural gas to Europe.
This is why prices in the US are less than $3, versus more than $10 in Europe. If US producers were free to export, prices in the US would rise, prices in Europe would fall, and the global natural gas prices would be more or less the same, similar to oil.
In terms of energy equivalence to oil, $3 per million BTU natural gas is the equivalent of paying around $15 - $20 for a barrel of oil. That’s cheap. And it means US natural gas is the most underpriced conventional energy commodity in the world.
But it probably won’t stay that way for long.
First, large tech companies, which are building massive, energy-hungry AI data centers, are also looking at putting in their own power plants… which will most likely be powered by natural gas.
Second, the new export terminal ban probably won’t last. There are lawsuits, legislation, and an upcoming election, any one of which could restart new LNG exports. When this happens, US natural gas prices could quickly rise.
In either case, natural gas producers stand to benefit substantially from higher prices. And it just so happens that shares of many of the best quality producers right now are laughably cheap, with low multiples relative to earnings, book value, and Free Cash Flow.
Looking at the overall investment landscape now, with many conventional stocks and indexes near all time highs, these three sectors strike me as some of the most promising investments for an inflationary environment.

Tishwash: Iraq and the Inter-State Transformations in the Relationship with Washington
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani was not seeking, during his recent visit to the United States, a media glare or a souvenir photo at the White House as much as he was seeking to bring about a qualitative shift in the relationship between Baghdad and Washington
A profound transformation in this relationship and to go beyond the stage of focusing on the security file that has dominated the relationship since 2003, and to move towards multiple partnerships in several fields. However, in the beginning, there is an urgent need to restore confidence between the two parties in a way that achieves the strategic interests of Iraq.
There are still sharp differences between the two parties, the most important of which is in the method of performance and management of files.
It seems that Mr. al-Sudani seemed more willing to reach an understanding and present conditions that were not previously proposed in drawing up the relationship between the two parties, including financial guarantees for loans and other financial exchanges that were not clear in the exchange between Iraq and America. link

Mnt Goat ...two main issues concerning the monetary policy...The first issue is about the cash outside of the banking system...that the percentage of cash outside the banking system reached 91%... they already told us they have plan to retrieve this money... as investors in the dinar...part of the 91% also includes our dinars. They told us this money is desperately needed in the banks...But how will they get ours, as investors? So, the answer is...the CBI will have to revalue the dinar enough to a significant level to get us foreign investors to run to the bank and turn it in. Within Iraq, however it is much different and they only need to overcome the parallel market rate of the dollar and these notes will come flowing back in to the banks. This is also when they can begin the swap out to the newer lower denominations... [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
Mnt Goat The second is the reluctance of the US to allow the currency reform process to move ahead as the 3rd phase of the strategic plan calls for and is supposed to have already begun. But can it really begin without this measure? It is already a week into July and still the US has not given its confirmation as to the support they will give for this next part of the phase...there is not really much going on in the currency reform process...to indicate that the 3rd phase is started...One solution, as we learned, was for the three letter agencies to open the spigot and pour out the very good news about Iraq’s stability. Folks they are prepping for something really big in the very near future. They are trying to kickstart this 3rd phase of the strategic plan... [Post 2 of 2]

G7 Ultimatum: Saudi Arabia Threatens Western Debt Sell-Off Over Russian Asset Seizure
Sean Foo: 7-11-2024
In a sudden reveal, Saudi Arabia issued a warning to G7 in anticipation of the Russian asset seizure.
They warned of dumping EU bonds if the Western powers decided to go ahead with confiscating Russia's sovereign assets.
While this won't immediately crater the US or the European bond market, it shows the Middle East looking to de-dollarize their reserves and trade.

BRAD GARLINGHOUSE COMMENTS REGARDING THE LAWSUIT AGAINST RIPPLE
"As many have noticed - and some have already pointed out - there have been numerous misleading and some factually inaccurate headlines describing the decision made by a California judge yesterday in the class action lawsuit about XRP. (I’m happy to see some correcting them - I wish I could tag / link them all here)
****************************
To be absolutely clear, this is a big win – all class action claims in the suit were DISMISSED, and absolutely nothing in the decision negates or changes the fact that XRP is, in and of itself, not a security (per the NY Court decision). The CA ruling dismissed all allegations that Ripple had somehow violated federal securities law by selling XRP.
As for the single state law claim that will now be scheduled for trial: the sole plaintiff didn’t buy XRP directly from Ripple and can’t say if he even heard the statement before he traded and only owned a couple hundred XRP. This was a clear example of the trolls that unsuccessfully tried to take advantage of the US legal system and distort statements to seek 100’s of millions in class action settlements."

UNISWAP LABS PRESSES SEC TO DROP RULES REGARDING DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES
"Since at least April 2023, the SEC has proposed expanding the definition of what qualifies as an exchange in the Exchange Act of 1934 — explicitly arguing that it should include crypto market participants in DeFi. Uniswap has been among those arguing against it. In a July 9 letter, Uniswap added further arguments following a comment letter it sent last month, calling for the SEC to drop its proposed amendments. "
"Its new argument is that with the Chevon decision — made during the Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo Supreme Court case on June 28 — courts are no longer required to defer to federal agencies to interpret ambiguous laws. Uniswap said this means the SEC will be merely wasting “limited resources” trying to get the definition of “exchange” amended, which had already been “likely to draw, and unlikely to survive, a judicial challenge” even before the Chevron decision. "
"“For all of these reasons, the Commission should not adopt the proposed amendments,” said Uniswap. “The Commission drafted the proposed amendments against a legal backdrop that no longer exists.”

European stablecoin market declines under newly imposed MiCA rules.
Stablecoins trading momentum have slowed amid a broader crypto market downturn.
The market capitalization of European stablecoins declined in June due to the implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, according to CCData’s latest stablecoin report.
The market cap of Euro-based stablecoins fell by 2.51%, hitting a seven-month low of $307 million, the lowest since November 2023. During this period, Tether’s EURT stablecoin’s market cap dropped by 26%, mainly due to delistings from major exchanges like Bitstamp.
CCData noted that MiCA’s implementation spurred interest in stablecoins that comply with local laws. MiCA, the EU’s comprehensive crypto regulation package, was recently enacted. It allows firms licensed by one member state to operate throughout the EU.
However, stablecoin issuers like Tether have criticized the rules for their stringent requirements, such as limits on trading volumes for certain stablecoins.
Despite these challenges, several issuers and their stablecoins, including Circle’s USDC and EURC, Societe Generale’s EURCV, Monerium’s EURe, Membrane’s EUROe, and Quantoz’s EURD, are recognized under the law.
Stablecoins volume fall
In June, the global stablecoin market cap rose by 0.53% to $161 billion, marking a nine-month growth streak and the highest stablecoin market cap since April 2022.
CCData said:
“Stablecoin market dominance is currently at 6.83%, rising from 6.22% in May. The increase in the stablecoin dominance highlights the negative price action of digital assets, with Bitcoin and Ethereum retracing the gains made following the surprise approval of spot Ethereum ETFs in the US.”
Despite the growth, stablecoin trading momentum has slowed amid a downturn in the digital asset market.
Stablecoin trading volume on centralized exchanges fell by 18% to a seven-month low of $907 billion in June. Similarly, on-chain transfer volume decreased for the second consecutive month by 7.5% to $1.8 trillion, the lowest since February 2024. This decline aligns with ongoing bearish market sentiments.
The report also highlighted that USDC had the highest on-chain transfer volume in June, surpassing USDT and DAI.
CCData stated:
“Among the top five stablecoins on Ethereum, USDC leads with $786 billion in on-chain transfer volume, representing 43.6% of the market share. USDT and DAI follow with transfer volumes of $616 billion and $334 billion, accounting for 34.2% and 18.5% of the volumes.”

FTC MAKES A STATEMENT ON CRYPTO AS ASSETS ENTER NEW PHASE
"The chairperson of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Rostin Behnam is warning that the crypto industry is likely to face more headwinds from regulators over the coming months.
Speaking at the 2024 Milken Institute Global Conference, the CFTC chair says that the crypto industry will “probably see in the next six to 18 months or six to 24 months another cycle of enforcement actions” amid “asset appreciation and [renewed] interest by retail investors.”
"Without a regulatory framework, without that transparency, without those tools that we typically use as regulators, you are going to continue to see this fraud and manipulation.
And putting aside the legitimacy and where this technology may go and what role it might play in our economy and commerce, the internet, digital assets generally… we just have to think about things from a regulatory and consumer protection standpoint. And I think that needs to be our guiding light in terms of driving this conversation, filling these regulatory gaps and creating this framework that’s ultimately going to protect American investors.”

Tishwash: A representative accuses America of obstructing Iraq's economic openness to the countries of the world
Today, Wednesday, Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Economics Committee, Yasser Al-Husseini, accused the United States of America of obstructing Iraq's economic openness to the countries of the world.
Al-Husseini said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “The United States of America stands against Iraq's economic openness to the countries of the world, indicating that America has contributed greatly to preventing international companies from coming to Iraq.”
He added, "America stands as a stumbling block in the way of the growth of the Iraqi economy," noting that "what Iraq has reached is due to American interference in internal affairs."
He continued, "America does not want Iraq to be at the forefront of economically developed countries." link

Tishwash: Economic: The ambiguity of the Central Bank's dealings serves the Americans
Today, Wednesday, economic expert Mustafa Hantoush revealed the existence of ambiguity in the Central Bank's dealings, behind which there are intentions that serve American interests.
Hantoush said in a statement to the Maalouma Agency, “The absence of weekly bulletins on the distribution of the dollar from the Central Bank has made the process of selling the dollar more ambiguous,” noting that “the ambiguity in the Central Bank’s recent dealings regarding the file of distributing the dollar.”
He continued, "The confusion in the work of the Central Bank enabled the American side to eliminate Iraqi banking by introducing foreign banks and granting them privileges in the country," pointing out that "80% of the dollar is distributed to foreign banks operating in Iraq in a step called presenting banking work on a platter." Who went to America and foreign banks?
It is noteworthy that the Central Bank authorized the work of three exchange companies inside airports, neglecting hundreds of companies in a decision that many considered a flop, which resulted in the decision increasing the US exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar to more than 150 thousand dinars . link

Tishwash: For the first time, the Iraqi state's non-oil revenues record an increase of 11%
The "Iraq Al-Mustaqbal" Foundation for Economic Studies and Consultations announced on Thursday that for the first time, the non-oil revenues of the Iraqi state recorded 11% of the total revenues, with oil revenues falling below the 90% barrier.
A report issued by the institution today stated that non-oil revenues for the first five months of the current year amounted to 6.24 trillion Iraqi dinars, while oil revenues for the same period of the current year amounted to 48.4 trillion Iraqi dinars.
According to the report, tax revenues on income and wealth increased by 118%, while revenues from commodity taxes and production fees increased by 285%.
The institution's report indicated that fee revenues increased by 50%, while oil revenues increased by 6.4%.
The continued reliance of the Iraqi state on oil as the sole source of the general budget is a dangerous matter in the face of global crises that occur from time to time due to the impact of oil on them, which makes the country turn every time to cover the deficit through borrowing from abroad or domestically, which thus indicates the inability to manage the state’s funds effectively, and the inability to find alternative financing solutions. link

Tishwash: Revealing the volume of trade exchange between Iraq and Saudi Arabia
The Saudi-Iraqi Business Council estimated the volume of trade exchange between the two countries at 5 billion riyals, with an annual growth of 12%, according to the head of the council, Mohammed Al-Khorayef.
The council stated in a report that the council is working to develop Saudi investments in Iraq, in conjunction with the interest of the private and governmental sectors in the Kingdom in investing in Baghdad.
It indicated that Iraq is preparing to propose a law to protect Saudi-Iraqi investment and discuss it before Parliament in preparation for its approval in the coming few months, to enhance economic cooperation between the Kingdom and Iraq, according to a statement issued by the Federation of Saudi Chambers.
In December of last year, Saudi Arabia and Iraq signed a partnership agreement in the field of private sector industrial investments, at a time when the Kingdom’s ambassador at the time confirmed that there were many investment opportunities being studied.
Last November, Saudi Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih also announced that the Kingdom is studying the launch of the first free economic zone with Iraq, in the border area in Arar, expressing his hopes that the zone would be the first free economic zone with a neighboring country without taxes, fees or entry visas to serve investors in both countries.
5 billion Saudi Riyals equals 1,333,082,700.00 US Dollars link

Boots On The Ground In The World’s Bitcoin Paradise
Notes From the Field by James Hickman July 10, 2024
[Editor’s note: This letter was written by Schiff Sovereign’s CEO, Viktorija Simulynaite, who is on the ground in El Salvador.]
The first thing my driver said to me after I got off the plane in El Salvador was, “Welcome to my country. It’s very safe here now.” I chuckled to myself because this seemed like such an odd greeting. But the more time I spent mingling with locals in El Salvador, the more it made sense.
The transformation that has taken place in the country over the past five years cannot be overstated.
Five years ago El Salvador had one of the highest murder rates in the world. It was basically a war zone. Gangs such as MS-13 and Barrio 18 were far more powerful than the government, and they enforced their own laws in their respective territories, sort of like the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The country’s young president, Nayib Bukele, put an end to all that when he was elected in 2019.
Notes From the Field by James Hickman July 10, 2024
[Editor’s note: This letter was written by Schiff Sovereign’s CEO, Viktorija Simulynaite, who is on the ground in El Salvador.]
The first thing my driver said to me after I got off the plane in El Salvador was, “Welcome to my country. It’s very safe here now.” I chuckled to myself because this seemed like such an odd greeting. But the more time I spent mingling with locals in El Salvador, the more it made sense.
The transformation that has taken place in the country over the past five years cannot be overstated.
Five years ago El Salvador had one of the highest murder rates in the world. It was basically a war zone. Gangs such as MS-13 and Barrio 18 were far more powerful than the government, and they enforced their own laws in their respective territories, sort of like the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The country’s young president, Nayib Bukele, put an end to all that when he was elected in 2019.
Bukele invoked emergency powers and arrested more than 100,000 suspected gang members, then shipped them off to a special prison far away from the rest of society. In a country of 6.3 million, that amounts to over 1.5% of the entire population that’s now locked up.
It was a controversial move to say the least… and I wonder about innocent people who may have been wrongfully imprisoned.
But El Salvadorans seem quite happy with the results; today their country boasts a lower homicide rate than anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere aside from Canada.
Simultaneously, El Salvador also put itself on the map by being one of the first countries in the world to get behind crypto; they even made Bitcoin legal tender and passed a number of pro-crypto tax incentives.
Those are pretty much the two things that El Salvador is known for these days– putting tens of thousands of criminals in jail, and Bitcoin.
But I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the country has so much more going for it.
This was a place that was scraping the bottom of the barrel just a few years ago. Even aside from the crime problem, the economy was in the dumps. Corruption and bureaucracy ruled the day, and debts were rising.
In just a few short years, however, El Salvador has managed to turn itself around, and the economy has taken off.
It’s not an accident. The government has slashed bureaucracy and established a number of incentives to bring in foreign capital and businesses.
One is the recently passed International Services Law, which offers significant tax incentives to service-based businesses, similar to Puerto Rico’s famous Act 60.
El Salvador’s law, though, is perhaps even more generous than Puerto Rico’s because it includes exemption for import duties, income taxes, municipal taxes, and more.
Service industries like call centers, data centers, software development, and other back-office services are starting to be growing industries in El Salvador, and I met a number of foreign entrepreneurs who are starting businesses in the capital.
Foreign investment is flowing in, and you can see construction projects everywhere– the capital city is quickly becoming sleek and modern, and it completely defied my expectations. Even the restaurant scene is really great.
More importantly, there’s an optimism in El Salvador– one that I haven’t seen in Europe and North America for a long time. People feel like the worst days are over and the future will continue to be much brighter.
Now, all that said, I’m not trying to suggest that El Salvador is some perfect paradise or that anyone should move their business there. I’m really writing about it as a sort of case study.
We talk a lot about how governments and politicians and “inspired idiots” wreck their economies. They rack up massive debts and engineer painful inflation and higher energy prices… and generally make things worse with their every move.
But it’s fair to point out that sometimes governments do smart things. And El Salvador is a great example.
They knew they had to figure out how to turn their economy around. And rather than go down a destructive rabbit hole of wage and price controls, which are standard approaches for bankrupt nations, El Salvador’s government got out of the way and is allowing the free market to blossom.
The one thing they have done very deliberately is market themselves.
Advanced western countries don’t do this. Joe Biden doesn’t travel the world pushing foreign nations to invest in America. Rather, he takes America’s standing for granted and simply assumes that everyone wants to invest there.
El Salvador is a tiny country plagued by a bad reputation for its past challenges.
But rather than let that reputation fester, its leaders are hustling to promote their country all over the world with a clear message: El Salvador is open for business.
It’s fascinating to watch such a positive transformation unfold for an entire nation in real time– and to see politicians deliberately do the right things to foster economic growth.
Given how many Western countries are rapidly deteriorating from their own idiotic political decisions, El Salvador is an obvious example of how much better things could be if reason and sanity were restored in government.
Imagine what the US would look like if politicians were actually cooperating and hustling to bring in new business, to make smart investments, to embrace capitalism, or even to simply rein in spending and slash bureaucratic waste…
We’re planning a boots on the ground trip to El Salvador for members of our Total Access group (i.e. our highest tier premium members at Schiff Sovereign). It’s going to be pretty great.
We’ll be meeting with senior officials and business leaders and checking out, firsthand, what’s going on in the country so that our members can see the transformation for themselves.
We’ll also eat at some of the country’s nicest restaurants and tour the beautiful countryside. And we might even leave with an investment or two.
(We’ve already had Total Access trips to places like Cuba, Singapore, the Republic of Georgia, Uzbekistan, and more, so El Salvador fits perfectly.)
If you’re interested in joining or finding out more about Total Access -- click here to read more about it. We’ll be opening enrollment soon.

Is the Global Financial System Collapsing?
Wall Street Silver: Is the Global Financial System Collapsing?
7-9-2024
The global financial system is a complex and interconnected web of institutions, markets, and regulations that facilitate the flow of funds and trade between countries.
Over the past few decades, this system has undergone significant changes and challenges, from the 2008 financial crisis to the COVID-19 pandemic.
These events have led many experts and investors to wonder if the global financial system is on the verge of collapse, and what the potential impact on precious metals, like silver and gold, might be.
Wall Street Silver: Is the Global Financial System Collapsing?

The global financial system is a complex and interconnected web of institutions, markets, and regulations that facilitate the flow of funds and trade between countries.
Over the past few decades, this system has undergone significant changes and challenges, from the 2008 financial crisis to the COVID-19 pandemic.
These events have led many experts and investors to wonder if the global financial system is on the verge of collapse, and what the potential impact on precious metals, like silver and gold, might be.
Gold and silver prices often act as a barometer for global financial uncertainty. As the stability of the global financial system comes into question, investors might seek out safe-haven assets like precious metals, driving up demand and prices. Here are a few potential scenarios:
1. Gold as a safe haven: Gold has long been considered a safe-haven asset due to its intrinsic value, scarcity, and history as a store of wealth. During periods of global financial instability, investors tend to shift their assets to gold, pushing up its price and providing a buffer against potential losses elsewhere.
2. Silver as an industrial and safe haven metal: Silver has dual demand drivers, as both an industrial metal and a safe-haven asset. Its use in various industries, such as electronics, solar panels, and medical equipment, fuels industrial demand. Meanwhile, its status as a safe-haven asset, similar to gold, results in increased investment demand during times of global financial uncertainty.
3. Increased volatility: Given the uncertain future of the global financial system, silver and gold prices could experience increased volatility. This can provide opportunities for investors to profit from price swings but also carries higher risk.
The global financial system’s stability is a cause for concern, given rising debt levels, systemic risk, economic imbalances, and regulatory weaknesses. In such an environment, investors should monitor precious metal prices, particularly gold and silver, as they often act as a safe haven during periods of financial instability.
While there are risks associated with this increased volatility, there are also opportunities to profit from price movements. As always, investors should conduct thorough research, assess risk tolerance, and consult with financial advisors before making any significant investment decisions.

Tishwash: Details of Iran-Russia local currency swap agreement
The deputy governor of the Central Bank of Iran said that the national currency swap agreement concluded between the central banks of Iran and Russia contributes to strengthening the ruble and the rial and excluding the dollar from mutual settlements.
Mohsen Karimi explained in statements published by Tasnim News Agency that the monetary agreement concluded between the Iranian and Russian central banks represents a channel for exchanging money between the two countries, and this is the approach followed to eliminate the dollar and mitigate the risks of sanctions.
He pointed out that "this measure is not subject to sanctions, and any sanctions will not affect the national currencies of the two countries."

He pointed out that "this measure is not subject to sanctions, and any sanctions will not affect the national currencies of the two countries."
The Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Iran said: The transactions of the monetary agreement between the two countries and card payments for travelers have been completed, and this agreement will come into effect as of the coming weeks, while card payments will start as of the end of August.
“This will be a good incentive for Iranian exporters to trade with Russia,” Karimi added.
He pointed out that currency swap is a tool through which both parties can obtain liquidity in another country's currency without having to buy it in the currency market.
He said: The Iranian Shatab network will soon be connected to 11 neighboring countries and member states of the Eurasian Union, such as Egypt.
The Iranian official concluded: For more than a decade, the Central Bank has been issuing dollar bills to Iranian travelers. But a new step has been taken, through which we will move to pay the same currency share with the same countries through their bank card. For example, a traveler who applies for travel currency from a Russian ATM can get rubles equal to his currency share and deduct rials from his account. link

I think all the three letter agencies are in cahoots...with the CBI...GOI to go ahead and launch the new exchange rate...I think the exchange rate is either going to float at a fixed rate or it's going to float at a low rate then take some time to grow and be capped. If it's fixed at an RI rate then you know it's not going to float very much because the distance between $3.22 to...where they want to cap it it's not that far and the demand will allow the gap to be reached very quickly. If it comes out at $3.22 you think I'm gonna wait around for a float? No.

JANET YELLEN ADMITS TO DE-DOLLARIZATION
"When US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday testified before the House Financial Services Committee, she said that one of her concerns is how best to protect the international status of the US dollar as US financial sanctions have pushed more countries seek alternative financial transaction methods that do not involve the US dollar, VOA reported."
"The remarks from Yellen have shed light on growing concerns regarding US dollar hegemony. Experts believe that the weaponization of the US dollar will reduce its dominance as the world moves toward local currency settlements and accelerate policies to facilitate de-dollarization. China and other countries are actively promoting local currency settlements and multilateral cooperation, offering more choices and possibilities for the global financial order."
"For a long time, the US has abused its dollar hegemony, shifting domestic crises and harvesting global wealth by damaging the economic and financial stability and well-being of other countries. It is also used as a tool to impose financial sanctions, isolating other countries from the dollar payment system."
"In June, Saudi Arabia joined a central bank digital currency initiative for international trade, which may set the stage for wider local currency payments for oil trade between China and Saudi Arabia and reduce the reliance on the US dollar."

Newshounds News has been reporting on CBDC's and their implementation around the world but the United States has yet to introduce either a wholesale or retail version.
"A U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC) would be a tokenized and blockchain-based version of the U.S. dollar, maintained and issued by the Federal Reserve. This form of digital fiat money would be similar to cryptocurrencies in that a blockchain would be used, but a CBDC would be regulated by the Federal Reserve, recognized as legal tender, and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government."
"The United States doesn't yet have a CBDC as of 2024, but it's important to understand the concept with this option under discussion, as well as the benefits and risks attached and steps taken so far."
"Fiat currency is a government-issued currency that's not backed by a physical commodity such as gold or silver. It's backed by the government that issues it. This type of money is the dominant means of making transactions in most countries. People use it to facilitate the exchange of goods and services in an economy. Generally, a country's central bank issues fiat currency for the nation's use. The Federal Reserve plays this role in the U.S."
"A U.S. CBDC would serve as a complement to existing central bank reserve account balances and widely used fiat currency. As a bonus, it should provide a medium for executing instant and seamless cross-border transactions. "
WHAT US CITIZENS ARE LOOKING FOR IS A CBDC THAT'S BACKED BY GOLD AND NOT THE FIAT DOLLAR.

JANET YELLEN SAYS TREASURY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR 'QUARTERBACKING' BETWEEN SEC, CFTC OVER CRYPTO RULES
"Yellen also responded to questions about concentrated risk and Russia potentially bypassing US sanctions via crypto and stablecoins."
"US Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen said the Treasury is not responsible for ‘quarterbacking’ between the CFTC and the SEC regarding their opposing positions toward crypto regulation."
"Yellen made the statement during a July 9 hearing before the House Financial Services Committee."
Opposing positions
"House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill said that the SEC and CFTC have taken opposing legal positions in federal court on crypto and asked if the Treasury’s Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) is working to unite the two regulators."
"Hill said the council is “supposed to quarterback for financial risk.” However, Yellen disagreed, stating:
“It’s not the job of the Financial Stability Oversight Council to adjudicate.”
She noted that the Treasury had published a report on crypto risks, partly addressing risks arising from a lack of agreement between regulators.
"Earlier in her testimony, Yellen told Hill she remains committed to achieving a regulatory framework for digital assets and hopes the efforts “reach a good conclusion.”"
Concentrated risk, Russian stablecoins
"Yellen also responded to other questions related to crypto. Congressman Mike Flood asked Yellen whether decentralized trading protocols require a different approach to regulation from centralized services."
Yellen answered that the SEC and CFTC are looking at the issue and added that some matters “may fall under the regulatory umbrella of the banking agencies as well.”
"Flood also questioned whether SEC rulemaking could reduce custodial options for crypto. He asked Yellen if a limited number of approved custodians available to registered investment advisors (RIAs) for Bitcoin ETFs would introduce concentrated risk."
"The Treasury secretary responded that the trend could pose a “potential” risk but declined to answer with certainty without more details."
"Congressman Brad Sherman commented on the Russian central bank’s plans to bypass Western sanctions with crypto. Yellen said that the Treasury is “very attentive” to the use of crypto and stablecoins but does not believe that Russia’s activities are substantial."

De-dollarization Shocked the US: BRICS End Dollar Hegemony
Fastepo: 7-9-2024
The term "de-dollarization" refers to the process of reducing reliance on the US dollar in international trade and finance.
While the concept has been discussed for several decades, its prominence has grown in recent years due to geopolitical shifts and economic strategies by various countries.
The exact first use of the term is difficult to pinpoint, but it has gained significant attention particularly after the 2008 financial crisis.
In recent years, countries like China and Russia have actively pursued de-dollarization to mitigate the impact of US economic sanctions and to diversify their foreign reserves.
This trend aims to reduce reliance on a single currency and enhance economic stability by using various local currencies. By focusing on their own currencies, nations aim to minimize geopolitical risks and bolster their domestic economies.
This shift is reshaping global trade and financial systems, potentially lessening the worldwide dominance of the US dollar.
In this video, we explore the growing movement of BRICS+ countries, decreasing their reliance on the US dollar for international transactions.
We examine the motivations behind these choices and provide insights into their economic tactics. Furthermore, we highlight the de-dollarization initiatives within the BRICS+ alliance, showcasing significant steps these nations have taken to diversify the currencies used in global trade.

Vince Lanci: 'If West Wants To Trade With BRICS, They Need More Gold'
As the BRICS nations continue to move their plans forward to a potential gold-backed trade settlement currency, you have to wonder how that will affect the west over time.
Because if an oil producer can sell their oil and receive currency with a partial gold-backing, will they still want to accept treasuries in the current environment?
So in this morning's show, Vince Lanci talks about how if the west is going to continue to trade with the resource rich BRICS nations, they're going to need more gold.

At this point the Globalists planned to keep the World enslaved by bringing in their Great Reset of fiat digital currency that could control everyone’s bank account – including what one traveled, bought and ate, or were unable to eat, with man made food shortages.
However, the Alliance was one step ahead, and had already used the Global Currency Reset to back up a Checkmate.

Frank26 The international community already has seen the new exchange rate. IMO the international community is satisfied and happy and anticipating for what is about to happen. It is not a secret.
Buckeyetree "The dollar system is a thing of the past." Sudani a while back told Iraqis to keep your dinars because the dinar will be stronger than the US dollar, that is, more valuable. IMO, so many will be affected in a good way from the reinstatement except for Iran and the politicians, no more stealing via the auctions which is a good reason not to delay further. IMO, the new lower notes with security features will be very pretty.

Tishwash: Parliamentary effort to question the Central Bank: Costs Iraq trillions and threatens the economy
Member of the Legal Committee, Raed Al-Maliki, announced on Tuesday that he is seeking to hold the relevant authorities accountable, especially the Central Bank administration and the government, due to the failure of their procedures to address the crisis of the decline in the value of the Iraqi currency and the large gap between the official dollar exchange rate and the parallel rate.
Al-Maliki said, in a press statement received by Shafaq News Agency, that the continued failure of the Central Bank and the government to achieve stability of the dinar and reduce the gap between the two prices led to the waste of huge sums of money and exacerbated the suffering of citizens.
He pointed out that these conditions resulted in the state incurring trillions of dinars and enriching the corrupt at the expense of the people, as the prices of most goods depend on the parallel price, which is much higher than the official price.
Al-Maliki also pointed out that the failure of the government and the Central Bank to deal with the exchange rate crisis was embodied in several main aspects, the first of which is the government’s inability to determine Iraq’s position on countries banned from using the dollar, as it failed to reach an agreement with the United States on how to deal with Iran and Syria, while other countries were able to find formulas of understanding in this regard.
The "second failure," according to Al-Maliki, is embodied in the government's inability to control the ports and informal trade. It has failed to unify customs policy and prevent informal ports in the Kurdistan Region, which includes more than 32 informal ports.
The third failure, MP Al-Maliki says, is the failure to address the issue of small traders, whose number exceeds 400,000 traders in Iraq, who rely on the parallel dollar to avoid official procedures and taxes.
Regarding the fourth failure, the government and the Central Bank, according to Maliki’s statement, failed to address the problem of speculation and commissions in banks, as banks buy the dollar at the official price and sell it at higher prices without any legal accountability.
Finally, the fifth failure, according to the statement, is embodied in turning the file of providing travelers with dollars into a corruption case that cost 600 billion dinars, as dollars are collected for fictitious travel purposes without verifying the actual need for travel.
Al-Maliki added that these points represent the most prominent reasons for the continuation of the exchange rate crisis and the waste of money, pointing out that Arab and foreign banks have entered the currency auction and increased their profits at the expense of Iraq.
The MP stressed that he will use all constitutional, legal and popular means to confront this failure and mismanagement, calling on MPs from other blocs to support these efforts in order to protect the interests of the Iraqi people.
For his part, MP Majid Shankali called on the Council of Ministers to take decisive and bold decisions related to the financial reality in Iraq.
In a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, Shankali stressed the necessity that these decisions be preceded by the process of building trust between the citizen and the banking system, which is currently suffering from a significant lack of this trust.
In this context, Shankali called for banning dealing and trading in dollars in buying and selling operations, in a step aimed at enhancing the use of the Iraqi dinar and reducing dependence on foreign currency. He also called for not allowing citizens to hoard amounts exceeding ten thousand dollars or its equivalent outside banks, in order to limit financial evasion and enhance official banking practices.
Shankali also stressed the need to encourage and stimulate electronic dealing in financial transactions, pointing out the need to start implementing these decisions gradually to avoid creating new crises, stressing that these procedures must be well thought out and based on gradual steps to ensure achieving the desired financial goals without causing additional problems for citizens. link
