Henig:  Hà Nội, Washington officially launch bilateral trade talks

April 23, 2025 - 22:18

Việt Nam attaches great importance to developing its Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with the US, and wishes to promote economic and trade relations in a balanced, stable, sustainable, and effective manner.

HÀ NỘI — Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyễn Hồng Diên, head of the Vietnamese government trade negotiation delegation, on Wednesday evening held a phone call with United States Trade Representative Jamieson L. Greer to officially launch talks on bilateral economic and trade issues between Việt Nam and the US.

This was an important working session to discuss the principles, scope, and roadmap for negotiations. Attending the call were members of the Government negotiation delegation and technical-level representatives from relevant ministries and agencies.

During the call, Minister Diên affirmed that Việt Nam attaches great importance to developing its Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with the US, and wishes to promote economic and trade relations in a balanced, stable, sustainable, and effective manner.

He emphasised that Vietnamese ministries and agencies are ready to negotiate and address US concerns, and to work with the US to find mutually beneficial solutions based on the spirit of harmonised interests and shared risks. For his part, US Trade Representative Jamieson L. Greer highly appreciated the two countries’ agreement to negotiate a bilateral trade agreement. He expressed confidence that the two sides would soon reach appropriate solutions to foster stable and mutually beneficial economic and trade relations.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the two Heads of Delegation also agreed to maintain regular communication at both the head-of-delegation and technical levels to expedite negotiations on specific issues. Việt Nam was among the countries hit with the highest rate of 'reciprocal tariffs' as announced by US President Donald Trump in early April, at 46 per cent.

 During a phone call taking place shortly afterwards, General Secretary Tô Lâm, Việt Nam's top leader, has told President Trump that Việt Nam can slash all tariffs against American goods into Việt Nam to zero per cent, while seeking for the US to do the same for Vietnamese goods. — VNS   LINK

Henig:  Việt Nam will safeguard core interests while deepening US trade ties: PM

April 23, 2025 - 08:11

PM Chính reaffirmed that Vietnamese goods do not pose unfair competition to US industries, noting that bilateral trade has long been mutually beneficial, particularly for American consumers.

Việt Nam, he added, remains willing to negotiate on issues raised by the US, so long as its core interests are protected and its foreign policy principles upheld

HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính has urged ministries and local authorities to work in close coordination to swiftly address key concerns raised by the United States, as Việt Nam continues to pursue fair and sustainable trade relations, amid shifting global dynamics.

Chairing a Government meeting yesterday, the PM said the current challenges in global trade also present opportunities for Việt Nam to restructure its export base, diversify markets and supply chains, and boost product quality. He emphasised the need for a strategic shift towards high-tech, green and knowledge-based economic development, driven by digital transformation. Institutional reform, he noted, must go hand in hand with growth.

PM Chính directed ministries to tighten oversight in key areas such as origin traceability, anti-smuggling, commercial fraud prevention and the fight against counterfeit goods. He also called for a comprehensive review of tax refund mechanisms and demanded a reduction in administrative procedures, costs and processing times, aligned with Government resolution.

 To further support investment attraction, he ordered the immediate establishment of a national one-stop investment portal and investment promotion centres, at both national and provincial levels. These efforts aim to draw in high-quality, long-term investors, especially in technology and innovation. Such investors, the PM said, should not only bring capital, but also transfer technology, train human resources, invest in research and development and support Vietnamese enterprises in joining global supply and production chains.

This was the fifth high-level meeting chaired by PM Chính, to implement the Politburo’s and Party General Secretary Tô Lâm’s conclusions on adapting to the US’s evolving tariff policies and promoting deeper trade ties.

Following reports and discussions, the PM acknowledged Việt Nam’s timely and flexible response to the US’s tariff adjustments, first introduced under President Donald Trump. He said the country’s calm, strategic approach has produced tangible results and earned a positive response from Washington.

Within the framework of the Việt Nam–US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, General Secretary Lâm held a phone call with President Trump and dispatched Deputy Prime Minister Hồ Đức Phớc and the Minister of Industry and Trade, as special envoys to engage US officials. Vietnamese leaders have also met with the US Ambassador, lawmakers, academics and business leaders to enhance mutual understanding.

Việt Nam has issued decrees to reduce certain tariffs on US imports, addressed long-standing issues in US-invested projects and taken steps to rebalance trade, such as increasing purchases of American-made aircraft, while staying within the bounds of Vietnamese law and bilateral agreements.

PM Chính reaffirmed that Vietnamese goods do not pose unfair competition to US industries, noting that bilateral trade has long been mutually beneficial, particularly for American consumers. Việt Nam, he added, remains willing to negotiate on issues raised by the US, so long as its core interests are protected and its foreign policy principles upheld. He tasked ministries and the negotiating team with thoroughly preparing for upcoming talks, ensuring alignment with the guidance of the Politburo, the General Secretary and the Government.

 He warned against introducing complications that could affect other markets or disrupt Việt Nam’s existing international commitments. The PM said that trade relations should be handled with calm, clarity and conviction. He underscored the importance of prioritising dialogue over confrontation, maintaining mutual respect and pursuing harmonised interests that serve the long-term benefit of both countries, particularly their businesses and consumers.

 He urged a focus on diversifying export markets, product lines and supply chains, improving product quality and cost efficiency and moving towards a high-tech, green, circular and knowledge-based growth model grounded in science, technology and digital transformation. — VNS   LINK

Henig:  Party leader receives Rosen Partners CEO

April 24, 2025 - 00:32

Rosen Partners informed General Secretary Tô Lâm on their investment plans, notably a project to build a world-class amusement park in Việt Nam, and committed to promoting cooperation in science and technology, artificial intelligence (AI)

HÀ NỘI — Party General Secretary Tô Lâm gave a reception in Hà Nội on Wednesday for Daniel Rosen, CEO of Rosen Partners – a privately held, industry-leading investment firm in the US.

Welcoming Rosen's return to Việt Nam on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the two countries’ diplomatic relations and the second year of the Việt Nam-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, Lam expressed his pleasure at the strong developments in bilateral relations in recent times.

He reaffirmed that Việt Nam values the development of its relationship with the US and hopes the two sides will continue to deepen, enhance, and stabilise their cooperation in all fields, particularly in the areas of economy, trade, and investment, for the benefit of the people and businesses of both countries.

Assessing that Việt Nam and the US are two economies with complementary advantages, the Party chief said Việt Nam has an abundant workforce with a strong desire to contribute to and strive for progress, and rich natural resources, and places great emphasis on capital, technology, and high-tech products from the US. Rosen shared his impressions of witnessing the talent, entrepreneurial spirit, and the remarkable changes in Việt Nam, which, he said, have created favourable conditions and opened up more investment and business opportunities for US companies in the country.

He provided information about his company’s investment plans, notably a project to build a world-class amusement park in Việt Nam, and committed to promoting cooperation in science and technology, artificial intelligence (AI), as well as connecting Vietnamese scientists with their US and international counterparts, and building specific collaborative projects in areas such as science and technology, AI, and smart governance.

 Welcoming Rosen Partners' interest in investing in Việt Nam, General Secretary Lâm affirmed that the country is working to streamline its organisational apparatus and reorganise its administrative boundaries to expand space and facilitate development, in line with the country's goals for 2030 and 2045.

Việt Nam encourages investment in the development of culture, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges, and welcomes cooperation with other countries, including the US, in the field of science and technology, he said, urging the group to promote cooperation and invest in areas where the US has strengths and Việt Nam has needs, including high-quality agriculture, and human resources development and training.

 Rosen reaffirmed his commitment to making efforts to implement investment projects in Việt Nam, contributing to the development of Việt Nam and the Việt Nam-US relationship. — VNA/VNS  LINK

US GB Bankers Rule The World

US GB Bankers Rule The World

The Final Wake Up Call By Peter B Meyer

Not one penny of tax pays for any service or programme

Put simply, bankers control the government in almost every country. This has been the case since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, and in Europe for centuries before that.

Their grip was further tightened when the gold standard was abandoned in 1971. For the most part, the public believes that governments get their money from the taxes they collect from their citizens. This money, it is believed, pays for all the services and programmes needed to keep a country running. But this is not the case. Instead, not a single penny paid by the people to the government actually pays for any service or programme.

 The money collected from the people goes directly to privately owned central banks.

 This is how central banks actually work; the central bank lends money to the government and buys the government’s debt. But the banks do not really have the money they lend, so when they need it they just print more.

 The money they print is worth nothing because it is not backed by anything.

 In the past, the US dollar was backed by the so-called “gold standard” and that determined the value of the currency.

• The business model of the central banksters is control. They put governments into debt to control them by creating fake currency and lending it to the government, which then has to listen to what the banksters say. Otherwise they go after the real assets and that is why governments and the population are massively indebted.

 The central banks don’t want to give up this control mechanism, they insist on maintaining their debt-based control system.

 The whole economic system has collapsed since 2008. The banks created an illusion to make everyone believe that the economy had recovered, but as is now known and seen by many, it did not.

 The same central banks are preparing to bring the economy down, but first they need someone to blame. However, they have started to announce that it could happen as early as this year.

Designed for tampering

Pre-programmed for manipulation and deception The average citizen has been programmed to trust the government. It starts with their primary school civics books and continues through college courses in ‘political science’, where young people are pre-programmed to be susceptible to manipulation and deception.

Sure, everyone knows that governments make mistakes and are occasionally inept. But the average person actually believes that government is their friend.

 That’s why they’re perfectly willing to give up privacy for convenience. They think their interests are in the hands of competent, well-meaning and well-meaning people. But that’s not the case at all.

 The government is an entity with its own interests. It’s like a parasite or a predator that feeds on society as a whole. This trend is likely to continue until there’s a crisis.

 Dysfunctional Banks

The present banking system is very dysfunctional. It’s politicised and distorted, while today’s ‘too big to fail’ institutions are already effectively twisted arms of the state.

These are horrendous practices. They are made possible by paying mega-millions to management and socialising the losses.

 The Central Bank Became Everyone’s Bank

Banks have historically provided two financial services: the storage and the intermediation of money. Money was a commodity, not just an accounting fiction. It was a floating abstraction.

This distinction has already been lost with current accounts that pay interest and fractional reserve policies that create currency out of thin air. But people would really be living in dreamland if the central bank really did become everyone’s bank. Right now, the central bank has total control over interest rates and all lending policies, without any competition.

 A Double Transformation

To deal with the mounting debt and the printing of money to pay for dozens of new social programmes, President Franklin D. Roosevelt made two extraordinary changes to the financial system in 1933.

• First, he closed the banks for four days and forced Americans to turn in and exchange every ounce of gold they owned for $20.67 in paper money.

• Then the government raised the price of gold, wiping out 69% of the savings of anyone who played by the rules.

 But that was just the beginning. Roosevelt also removed the ‘gold clause’ from all contracts, including loans, bonds and other financial instruments. At the time, people were worried that the government might inflate away the value of their money. So they added a gold clause, which said that repayments could be required to be made in gold.

 These gold clauses were included in government loans, bank deposits, insurance policies and other private contracts.

When Roosevelt outlawed the gold clause, he stole billions from investors. In fact, a Harvard paper estimates that this rule took $700 million a year in 1933 dollars from private investors who bought government bonds.

Billions more were stolen from people who lost money in private contracts, bank accounts and insurance policies when the gold clause was removed.

The removal of the gold clause was so controversial that investors sued the government. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court. Roosevelt was terrified that his Debt Jubilee would be overturned. He even wrote a speech saying he would ignore the court if it ruled against him.

In the end, his political pressure worked, and the court ruled 5-4 in Roosevelt’s favour. There were consequences, of course: tens of millions of people lost massive amounts of their savings. And after a boom, the stock market soon fell by 50% in a single year. Investor confidence was shattered.

A great financial crisis was brewing. The government and individuals had borrowed exorbitant amounts of money, and many were struggling to repay their creditors because every dollar at the time had to be backed by $0.25 of gold. So the government couldn’t print unlimited amounts of money out of thin air.

 Foreign creditors who held US government bonds were allowed to take repayment in gold bullion rather than dollars, so gold reserves rapidly disappeared. From 1958 to 1968, 52% of America’s gold reserves left the country in the form of repayments on US debt.

The government was terrified. They knew there was only one way out: another debt jubilee. First, they eliminated the 25% gold backing of every dollar. Then, in 1971, President Richard Nixon completely reneged on the US promise to pay foreign creditors gold for their dollars.

 It was the Federal Reserve that created the post-1971 fake dollar when Nixon cut the dollar’s last link to gold. And it was this fake dollar that turned America from the world’s largest creditor to the world’s largest debtor; and from the world’s largest trade surplus to the world’s largest trade deficit.

 This reversal destroyed breadwinner jobs, leaving the baby boomer generation with declining real incomes, part-time jobs and no surpluses to save.

Finally, it was the Fed with its ultra-low, below-inflation interest rates that made saving money uncool, unprofitable and unnecessary.

• The question is: how will larger deficits reduce the national debt?

• How will spending real resources on phony wars make people safer or better off?

Clearly this will end in chaos if nothing is done to stop it.

The central banks have kept the system going longer in order to bring the world into the one world government. For the same reason, all countries must be equally brought down to the lowest standard of living in order to create a level playing field for integration into the New World Order system.

Fortunately, the cabal’s obscure plans were interrupted by the election of Trump. Their plans began to fall apart when Hillary was not elected.

Fake Evidence

People should be wary of fabricated “evidence” of any kind, even more so after what is seen in recent decades.

A case in point is the monstrous lies and massive distortions that accompanied the reckless claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Gold Continues To Diverge From Silver & Trade On Monetary Premium

Arcadia Economics:  4-23-2025

We're in the midst of one of the more fascinating days in gold and silver market history. As the gold futures are down $120, while silver is actually up 60 cents along with the stock markets.

I'm not sure we've ever seen a divergence that extreme between the two metals before, and in today's show, Lynette Zang talks about how we're seeing gold trade at a monetary premium right now.

Gold’s Surge is Unsettling as Trump Shocks System

Liberty and Finance:  4-22-2025

In a recent discussion with Liberty and Finance, the anonymous financial analysts known as Doomberg delivered a stark assessment of the U.S. economy, arguing that the country is already mired in a recession.

They painted a picture of economic headwinds, political challenges, and potential geopolitical flashpoints, urging investors to remain calm and prepare for a period of prolonged uncertainty.

Doomberg pointed to a confluence of economic indicators signaling a significant slowdown. While mainstream narratives often focus on positive numbers, they highlighted underlying weaknesses masked by lagging data.

They suggested that key sectors are struggling, and that the overall economic picture is far less rosy than official reports suggest.

Adding to the economic woes, Doomberg believes that the Trump Administration faces significant obstacles, even before potentially retaking office. Internal pushback from within the government, coupled with a Federal Reserve that appears to be operating at odds with the administration’s goals, could significantly hinder any attempts to implement effective economic policies. This misalignment, they argued, creates further instability and uncertainty in an already fragile environment.

Echoing familiar concerns from the CoviD era, Doomberg warned about the resurgence of supply chain disruptions. These disruptions, they stated, are not isolated incidents but rather a pervasive issue that continues to destabilize markets and contribute to inflationary pressures.

This ongoing instability makes it difficult for businesses to plan and invest, further exacerbating the economic slowdown.

One of the most compelling arguments Doomberg presented was the rising price of gold. They interpreted this not just as a response to inflation, but as a broader signal of a shifting monetary environment. Gold’s rise, they argued, indicates a growing lack of confidence in traditional financial systems and a move towards alternative stores of value.

While energy markets currently appear stable, Doomberg cautioned against complacency. They warned that geopolitical tensions, particularly in volatile regions, could rapidly alter the energy landscape, leading to price spikes and further economic disruption.

They emphasized the unpredictability of these events and the potential for significant ripple effects throughout the global economy.

Despite the somber outlook, Doomberg’s message wasn’t one of despair. They strongly advised investors to avoid the trap of short-term panic selling. Instead, they advocated for a long-term perspective, urging investors to focus on building resilient portfolios that can weather the ongoing uncertainty.

 They emphasized the importance of diversification, maintaining sufficient cash reserves, and investing in assets that tend to perform well during periods of economic turmoil.

In conclusion, Doomberg’s discussion with Liberty and Finance offered a sobering assessment of the U.S. economy. Their analysis highlighted the multifaceted challenges facing the nation, from economic slowdown and political headwinds to supply chain disruptions and potential geopolitical flashpoints

However, by urging investors to remain calm, focus on long-term strategies, and maintain a balanced portfolio, Doomberg offered a roadmap for navigating the turbulent times ahead. The message is clear: preparedness and prudence are essential in the face of escalating economic uncertainty.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Morning 4-23-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

TRUMP WARNS: “PERFECT TIME” FOR FED RATE CUTS — WILL JEROME POWELL LISTEN?

▪️Trump clarified he won't fire Powell but strongly urges the Fed to cut rates, citing global easing.

▪️Markets reacted with cautious optimism, as trade tension easing and Trump's comments influenced Bitcoin and treasury yields.

▪️The Fed remains cautious, balancing inflation with potential tariff impacts, despite Trump's pressure for rate cuts.

The debate over Federal Reserve rate cuts is heating up again. President Donald Trump says he’s not firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell — but he’s clearly running out of patience. In classic Trump style, the message is direct, the pressure is rising, and the markets are watching closely.

Here’s what’s unfolding behind the scenes.

“Perfect Time” for Action, Says Trump

Speaking to reporters, Trump called it the “perfect time” for the Fed to lower interest rates. He dismissed growing speculation about Powell’s removal but didn’t hold back on criticism of the Fed’s slow pace.

“I’m not firing Powell,” Trump said, blaming the media for the rumors. But he added that Powell should be moving faster, especially as other global central banks are already easing their policies.

“He should act early or on time, not late,” Trump said, signaling that the Fed’s current approach could soon fall behind the curve.

Bitcoin Breaks $90K as Market Reacts

Despite Trump’s strong remarks, broader markets stayed steady. But Bitcoin surged past the $90,000 mark, boosted by optimism from both Trump’s comments and new statements from the U.S. Treasury Secretary, who called the trade war with China “unsustainable.”

Short-term Treasury yields edged up to 3.82% after a weak government bond auction, while the U.S. dollar held its ground. Investors appeared cautiously optimistic about easing trade tensions.

Analysts: Trump Is Managing Expectations

Analysts say Trump’s push for rate cuts might be more about shaping public expectations than actually threatening Powell’s role. While Trump says Powell is safe, his public pressure could serve to redirect blame if economic growth slows.

This isn’t the first time Trump has publicly criticized the Fed — and likely won’t be the last.

Fed Holds Course as Inflation Stays High

For now, the Federal Reserve is staying the course. Powell’s position appears secure, and Fed officials are focused on evaluating the long-term effects of Trump’s trade, tax, and immigration policies.

With inflation still running above the 2% target for the fourth year in a row, most Fed members believe current interest rates are appropriate.

Growth Risks Could Force a Rethink

Still, some economists warn that the ripple effects of Trump’s tariffs could slow growth later this year. If that happens, the Fed may have no choice but to revisit its stance.

Rate cuts may not be off the table — even if Powell continues to resist political pressure.

With Wall Street rebounding and Trump increasing his calls for action, one thing is clear: the Trump vs. Powell rate debate isn’t going away anytime soon.

For now, Powell keeps his seat and his stance — but the clock is ticking, and everyone knows it.

XRP IS THE COIN WITH ‘THE MOST UTILITY,’ SAYS TEUCRIUM CEO

In an interview on Bloomberg Crypto with anchors Tim Stenovec and Katie Greifeld, Teucrium Trading’s chief executive officer (CEO) Sal Gilbertie argued that XRP is the crypto asset with “the most utility” in the entire space.

“Ripple’s a company of really professional people working really hard on this. That’s why we chose XRP. We believe in XRP. We’re not making a price prediction, but we do believe it’s a coin that will have the most utility out there. You know Bitcoin is a store of value […] but I think that XRP has a true use case,” Gilbertie remarked.

He further highlighted the professionality of the Ripple team which is a big reason the company believes in the crypto asset: “There’s just no doubt about it in the Ripple team from what the interaction we’ve had with them […] They act like investment bankers over there. They know what they’re doing and they will make this work.”

Teucrium’s 2x Long XRP ETF

Teucrium launched the first XRP-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States on April 8. The Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF, traded under the ticker XXRP on NYSE Arca, is a 2x leveraged fund aiming to provide twice the daily return of the token.

The ETF’s launch coincided with a sharp rebound in the underlying token. While Teucrium cannot see its shareholder register in real time, Gilbertie believes early flows reflect “a mix of professionals and retail trading their own accounts.” XXRP is engineered explicitly for intraday traders, he emphasized: 

“This specific product is geared toward traders who have a short-term view—primarily a one-day view—of what XRP’s price moves might be. This allows them in a traditional brokerage account to achieve leverage without a margin account.”

Gilbertie acknowledged that such magnified exposure is unsuitable for naïve investors. “Of course it’s risky. Leveraged funds are always risky and people need to be very careful,” he cautioned, adding: “I hope that the non-sophisticated traders do their homework first before they set foot in this.”

The conversation also illuminated a shifting regulatory atmosphere in Washington. Gilbertie contrasted the Securities and Exchange Commission’s current leadership with its prior stance under former Chair Gary Gensler, without naming him directly but characterizing the previous regime as “a blocker” to digital-asset innovation.

“The old SEC regime was a blocker…worked against the crypto industry,” he said. By contrast, the gap between administrations—during which newly confirmed Chair Paul Atkins and the fresh slate of commissioners were still settling in—created a moment when Teucrium’s application could proceed.

“We applied as soon as we could, meaning the old regime had left and wouldn’t block us, and we simply listed as soon as we could following the normal rules. The staff is really wonderful at the SEC…It’s the leadership that matters.”

XXRP’s methodology relies on daily rebalancing of swap positions to deliver twice the token’s move—up or down—over a single trading session. Compounding makes the fund unsuitable as a long-term proxy, an intrinsic feature common to all daily leveraged products but one the firm has gone to pains to highlight in its prospectus. Gilbertie underscored that message: “Volatility is the point. You want the action,” but traders must understand that the action cuts both ways.

For now, Gilbertie is betting that the community’s zeal, combined with a friendlier SEC stance, will keep volume humming. “We thought the time was right,” he concluded, “and so far the market seems to agree.”

At press time, XRP traded at $2.24.

Walkingstick   We have entered a window of two weeks to two months.  A window of opportunity for this to go...

Frank26   Nothing is logical at 1310.  That's why to me it is such powerful evidence when we don't see the salaries...HCL...budget tables...lower notes because everything on that list is simply waiting for the new exchange rate...Everything is at a standstill.  Everything is frozen.  It's like somebody clicked the stopwatch and it stopped time in Iraq until a new exchange rate is brought forth. 

Sandy Ingram  The Central Bank of Iraq has successfully completed its transition to having foreign currency transfers handled directly by Iraqi banks through their international correspondent banks moving away from the previous centralized electric platform.  This shift...marks a major step in aligning Iraq's banking operations with international standards.

Gold at the Center of Chaos – Global System Breaking Down | Axel Merk

Kitco News:  4-22-2025

Gold soared past $3,500 an ounce. Bitcoin broke $90,000. Treasury yields surged. And the IMF just cut its global growth forecast to 2.8% — the slowest since the pandemic.

As safe-haven flows shift and capital moves away from U.S. assets, questions are rising about the future of the dollar, Federal Reserve independence, and the direction of global markets.

 In this Kitco News interview, Axel Merk, President and CIO of Merk Investments and portfolio manager of the ASA Gold and Precious Metals Fund, joins Jeremy Szafron to unpack what he calls “a structural shift” in the financial system.

Merk explains why the U.S. is behaving more like a hedge fund than a central bank, why gold is signaling deep systemic stress, and why the market may be underreacting to the risks ahead.

He also shares where smart money is going now — and why junior gold miners may offer critical upside as volatility grows.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

CIRCLE LAUNCHES 'CIRCLE PAYMENTS NETWORK'

The new network will use stablecoins such as USDC and EURC to help financial institutions facilitate global money movement and settlement.

USDC Issuer Circle Debuts Payments Network

Stablecoin firm Circle, issuer of USDC which currently has a market capitalization of roughly $61 billion, has launched “Circle Payments Network (CPN),” a collaborative group of financial institutions that use stablecoins to enable global movement and settlement of funds.

The company announced the network launch on Monday and said more than 20 financial institutions have already signed on. Circle listed companies such as remittance giant World Remit, Nigerian financial services firm Yellow Card, and crypto custody firm Fireblocks, as initial partners.

Large banks like Standard Chartered and Deutsche Bank will take on an advisory role, and more companies will be gradually added to the network.

CPN’s goal is to take advantage of the flexibility stablecoins offer to overcome current operational friction in cross-border payments. Circle says CPN will support remittances, invoice payments, treasury services, and payroll.

“Existing cross-border payments can be slow and expensive,” Circle said in an X post. “CPN is designed to bring efficiencies to the payments system. It is not just faster. It is programmable, secure, and always available.”

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS: US & INDIA FINALIZE TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR NEW TRADE DEAL

Despite the tensions between the nation and the BRICS alliance, the US and India have reportedly finalized terms of reference for a new trade deal. Indeed, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer confirmed the major development amid US Vice President JD Vance’s visit to the country, according to a CNBC report.

Moreover, Greer noted that the United States and India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry have clearly laid out “a roadmap for the negotiations on reciprocal trade.” The major headway was confirmed as Vance traveled to India, meeting with President Narendra Modi on Monday.

US Vice President Meets With Indian President as New Trade Deal Takes Step Forward

Since the start of April, tensions between the United States and the BRICS alliance have been growing. Specifically, the country is inching closer toward a trade war with China. Indeed, amid a series of sweeping global tariffs, they levied an import duty that could reach heights of 245% on China.

However, that hasn’t stopped allies within the economic alliance from seeking a new agreement with the country. Indeed, the US and India have reportedly finalized the terms of reference for a new trade deal. The development was made as US Vice President JD Vance visited the nation, meeting with President Narendra Modi.

According to reports, the two sides have made “significant progress” towards a new trade deal. Both world leaders made note of their “continued efforts” to grow their collaboration. Moreover, they championed the need for a “mutually beneficial India-US bilateral trade agreement.”

During the initial arrival of US President Donald Trump’s Liberation Day tariff plan, India was given a 26% reciprocal tariff. However, that was lessened when the administration announced a 90-day pause. Subseuqnlety, until it resumes, the nation is facing a 10% baseline tariff alongside all US trade partners.

THE GREAT RESET JUST TOOK A MAJOR HIT

On the same day Pope Francis—known for his inclusive beliefs—passed away, another globalist fell: Klaus Schwab, the architect of the World Economic Forum's dystopian agenda, announced he was stepping down from the WEF board.

It marks the end of an era for Schwab, who championed radical wokeness, bug eating, mass vaccination campaigns, population control, and climate de-growth policies through what often resembled digital communism—social credit scores, central bank digital currencies, and many more China-like policies.

 Meanwhile, cultural shifts across the Americas signal a rising movement toward traditional values, sending the WEF's ideological woke grip on governments, non-government organizations, corporations, the church, and society into disarray.

"Following my recent announcement, and as I enter my 88th year, I have decided to step down from the position of Chair and as a member of the Board of Trustees, with immediate effect," Schwab wrote in a statement.

Schwab stepped down as executive chairman one year ago, with former Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende taking over daily operations. WEF said Vice Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe was appointed board chairman in the interim and that a search committee for replacement had been appointed.

WEF stated:

"At a time when the world is undergoing rapid transformation, the need for inclusive dialogue to navigate complexity and shape the future has never been more critical. The Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum underlines the importance of remaining steadfast in its mission and values as a facilitator of progress. Building on its trusted role, the Forum will continue to bring together leaders from all sectors and regions to exchange insights and foster collaboration."

Schwab’s resignation also comes three months after President Trump told globalist CEOs at the WEF’s 2025 Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, “America is back.” It also follows Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative, which nuked USAID programs that funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into corrupt NGOs.

Last month, Eric Weinstein made some very interesting comments at ARC 2025, indicating:

"The post-World War II order has fallen. JD Vance has announced this - I personally think it's very important that the US treat its friends in Europe very very well and it should be done in a fashion that lets people know that the US will be there for the long haul. I am sure that that is in the cards, but we have to realize that we are waking up from a very long period of time which I've called the "Great Nap"..."

Did Trump's MAGA derail Schwab's 'Great Reset' plans?

Looks like it. But globalists will rebrand. So stay tuned.

China Has Officially Deployed Its Digital Arsenal

China Has Officially Deployed Its Digital Arsenal

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  April 22, 2025

By 1970, US commanders in Vietnam were optimistic that they had “functionally severed” North Vietnamese forces.   The generals were particularly boastful about their taking out the Ho Chi Minh Trail—a sprawling network of roads, footpaths, and tunnels through Laos and Cambodia that let North Vietnamese forces move troops and supplies into South Vietnam, bypassing the fortified border.

 After bombing it into oblivion, a senior US Air Force general declared, “Gentlemen, what we have here is the end of North Vietnam as a viable fighting power.”

Unfortunately, the ‘experts’ were wrong again.

 Only weeks after declaring victory, US forces found themselves locked in a brutal and unexpected battle at Fire Support Base Ripcord— a base the US was constructing as a launchpad for future operations.

The North Vietnamese brought in artillery, mortars, rockets, anti-aircraft weapons, and wave after wave of ground troops. All of that firepower, manpower, and ammunition moved hundreds of miles through dense jungle terrain, across borders, and into South Vietnam—right under the nose of US airpower that had supposedly rendered the the Ho Chi Minh Trail defunct.

 Their ability to move silently helped the Viet Cong guerrillas wage a shadow war of ambushes, sabotage, and infiltration—blending into the population by day and striking by night.

 The Viet Cong’s psychological victories eroded US public support. Morale among American troops declined, and political dissent at home surged.

 US troops at Fire Support Base Ripcord held out for nearly a month under constant bombardment and ground assaults. But by late July, with casualties mounting, the last Americans were airlifted out under enemy fire.

 It was a scene that foreshadowed what would play out in Saigon just a few years later as the US abandoned the war.

 And it was through the use of these guerrilla tactics— Distract. Disrupt. Discourage. Dismay.— that a substantially weaker force was able to defeat a much more powerful army.

China is starting to do the same thing in this economic war with the United States. And they’re targeting America’s youth.

For example, TikTok’s ‘Blackout Challenge’ encourages the app’s young users to asphyxiate themselves until they lose consciousness, which led to the death of a 13-year old California boy in February of this year.

A 15-year old in Oklahoma died from the ‘Benadryl Challenge’. Concussions and other serious injuries have resulted from the ‘Skullbreaker Challenge’ where kids ‘prank’ others by kicking their legs out from under them as they jump.

Curiously, Chinese teens haven’t succumbed to the same contests. Instead, viral math problems challenging users' problem-solving skills regularly trend on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok.

One popular influencer is a 12-year-old girl who has gone viral for teaching college-level math, explaining complex problems in a simplified manner.

 Last week, we got another look at how TikTok figures into China’s guerrilla economic warfare arsenal.

 Chinese influencers began pointing American consumers toward a new app: DHgate— a Beijing-based e-commerce platform that sells items directly from the Chinese factories which manufacture brand-name goods.

Their pitch: why pay $120 for name-brand yoga pants when the same exact item, just without a brand label, can be yours for $15?

Within days, DHgate exploded in popularity—climbing to the #2 spot on Apple’s App Store in the US, just behind Temu (another Chinese-owned e-commerce app) and ahead of ChatGPT.

 Yoga pants, handbags, sunglasses, sneakers, you name it—products stripped of their logos and exposed for what they are: glorified drop-shipped Chinese goods with a 700% markup.

 Of course, the sudden surge in popularity wasn’t organic; it was orchestrated.

 Chinese influencers produced videos explaining how major Western brands were bilking their consumers and outsourcing production to these very same factories.

 TikTok made sure those videos went viral in the US.

 Even 145% tariffs would only push the price of $15 yoga pants up to $36.75— still much less expensive than buying from Lululemon.

 China’s guerrilla strategy is clear: They want US consumers to question who is the enemy— the ones selling you affordable clothing, or the ones increasing your cost of living?

 This drives a wedge between consumers and the US government— why would my government prevent me from buying affordable goods? Tariffs could quickly become as unpopular among Americans as the Vietnam War was in the 1960s.

 China is weaponizing TikTok to turn US consumers against the government... and against major US brands.

 They pulled back the curtain on how the economy really makes the sausage—exposing that a $2,000 handbag comes from the same factory, made of the same materials, with the same quality stitching as the $40 knockoff. Americans are paying thousands for a label, not for a superior product.

 You can bet that all the data that has been gathered from TikTok has been sent back to the mothership to be analyzed and weaponized. China clearly understands how to use that information for marketing and messaging in ways that could give them a huge edge in the escalating economic warfare.

 American consumers may quickly feel that China is not the enemy robbing them blind; instead, they may view China as the ones offering a better deal.

 The US government, on the other hand, suddenly looks like the bad guy for keeping prices high and products out of reach.

 And this is just the beginning.

 What happens when a billion-dollar marketing machine—fueled by foreign data, run through a CCP-influenced algorithm, and distributed on the most addictive app in the world—starts targeting not just consumer wallets, but the foundations of America’s consumer-centric economy?

 An erosion of trust in American brands. A growing resentment toward US trade policy. A subtle, creeping, deliberate narrative that China gives you value, while your own government gives you inflation.

 This is now the guerrilla phase of the economic war.

To your freedom,  James Hickman   Co-Founder, Schiff Sovereign LLC

Gold Soars Past $3400 As Stocks Plummet | Mario Innecco

Liberty and Finance:  4-22-2025

Mario Innecco discusses the recent surge in gold prices, attributing it to ongoing global currency debasement and long-term inflationary policies by central banks.

 He highlights the accumulation of physical gold by sovereign nations and central banks as a signal of a potential monetary realignment, possibly involving gold's return to the global financial system.

Innecco also emphasizes the declining credibility of fiat currencies and the dollar index as misleading, noting that all fiat currencies are weakening relative to gold.

He suggests that the Dow-to-gold ratio could return to 1:1, reflecting a major shift in financial markets similar to past historical resets.

Finally, Innecco advises patience and continued accumulation of gold and silver, warning that pullbacks may be brief and sharp as fear eventually drives more investors into hard assets.

Gold Telegraph: He Who has the Gold Makes the Rules

4-21-2025

Gold Telegraph  @GoldTelegraph

The President of the United States said this today:

“He who has the gold makes the rules.”

Nothing to see here…

The world is undergoing a transformational moment… something I have spent years covering.

• Treasuries selling off
• Global trade changing
• Strategic relationships breaking down

The list goes on. Many are watching in disbelief.

The Dow is down 800 points. The dollar is under pressure. Gold has smashed through $3400. The President of the United States has called the chairman of the Federal Reserve a loser. What a time to be alive.

The dollar is getting crushed. And yet, dollar bulls are acting like contrarians while hyping the world’s reserve currency. Seriously? When the music played loud, they all laughed and had condescending attitudes toward gold people.

The US dollar has lost over 40% of its purchasing power compared to gold in the 1 year… This should be the biggest story in the world, yet it is not. This tells you everything.

The world is relearning the meaning of money. Life doesn’t teach through lectures, only consequences.

Militia Man  We are still following along an international event.  I think that is real.
