He directed the Ministry of Environment and the Carbon Economics Company to "simplify procedures and move toward signing partnership contracts with companies, and move toward concrete action ."

For their part, company representatives expressed their interest in participating in the conference, stating that they were "there because of the developments Iraq has witnessed over the past two years, and that they will sign contracts and memoranda of understanding with Carbon Economics ."

They expressed their willingness to "contribute to building a green economy, accessing clean fuels, and cooperating in transferring expertise to specialized personnel in Iraq link

XRP LEDGER SHARPENS COMPETITIVE EDGE WITH FRESH STABLECOIN ADDITIONS OF EURØP, USDB, AND XSGD

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) just made a major leap forward in the global stablecoin race, with three new fiat-backed stablecoins—EURØP, USDB, and XSGD—joining its ecosystem this week.

This marks a significant expansion of XRPL’s role as a preferred blockchain for cross-border financial transactions and fintech innovation, thanks to its low fees, fast finality, regulatory readiness, and native real-world asset support.

1. EURØP: MiCA-Compliant Euro Stablecoin

On May 22, EURØP, issued by Schuman Financial, became the first MiCA-regulated euro stablecoin on XRPL.

• Fully backed by reserves held at top-tier European banks.

• Audited by KPMG.

• Issuer licensed by France’s ACPR (Banque de France).

“This will give Europe and euro-denominated financial markets an integral infrastructure for the next wave of financial innovation, which is happening on-chain,” said Martin Bruncko, CEO of Schuman Financial.

2. USDB: New USD Option for Brazil

Also on May 22, Brazilian fintech Braza Group launched USDB, a USD-backed stablecoin on XRPL, adding to its earlier BBRL token.

• Braza CEO Marcelo Sacomori sees USDB as a hedge for Brazilians against local currency volatility.

• Projected to reach 30% market share of Brazil’s USD-pegged stablecoin segment by end of 2026.

“New pathways for global currency settlement” will drive the token’s adoption, said Sacomori.

3. XSGD: Singapore’s Stablecoin Comes to XRPL

XSGD, backed 1:1 with reserves at DBS Bank and Standard Chartered, officially launched on May 19.

Issued by StraitsX, a key digital payments provider in Southeast Asia, XSGD is aimed at:

• Financial institutions,

• Startups, and

• Developers seeking fast, low-cost, compliant-ready digital transactions.

“Regulated stablecoins like XSGD will serve as the foundation for borderless, real-time financial services,” said Liu Tianwei, Co-Founder and Deputy CEO of StraitsX.

📈 A Growing Stablecoin Hub

The XRP Ledger is rapidly positioning itself as a stablecoin hub, now offering options for euro (EURØP), U.S. dollar (USDB), and Singapore dollar (XSGD) transactions—each backed by fully regulated, real-world banking infrastructure.

BRICS NEWS: MAJOR UPDATE ON TEN-YEAR DE-DOLLARIZATION PLAN

Amid rising global tensions and economic uncertainty, the BRICS alliance has issued a surprising update on its decade-long de-dollarization strategy, signaling a potential shift in tone and expectation for the US dollar's global role.

Background: BRICS vs. the Dollar

• The BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) has spent the last few years pushing to reduce global reliance on the US dollar, aiming to launch its own trade currency.

• This effort has faced intensifying pressure in 2025 as US President Donald Trump, now in his second term, responded with 150% tariffs on BRICS nations, citing their anti-dollar efforts.

New Outlook: Dollar May Stay on Top

Despite the hostile rhetoric and early-year momentum toward dollar alternatives, Brazil, which holds the 2025 BRICS chairmanship, has made a startling admission:

“There is no realistic prospect of any currency overtaking the US dollar’s dominance over the next decade,” said Nilton David, Brazil’s Monetary Policy Director.

• This represents a major pivot from Brazil’s previous stance as a vocal proponent of full-scale de-dollarization.

• David acknowledged only a small chance of meaningful change in USD dominance by 2035.

Key Takeaways

• BRICS is not abandoning the de-dollarization agenda, but it's tempering expectations.

• The US dollar is still under threat from global dissatisfaction, but full replacement appears unlikely in the near future.

• This could signal a strategic shift: instead of dethroning the dollar, BRICS may now focus on creating a competitive alternative for trade and finance.

The Road Ahead

The "America First" and protectionist policies of the Trump administration have contributed to falling confidence in the greenback, yet they have not yet accelerated BRICS’ efforts to build an immediate replacement.

💬 The question now: Will BRICS build a viable alternative to compete, even if not to replace the US dollar?

Baking a Gigantic Currency Crisis into the Cake – John Rubino

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com 

Analyst and financial writer John Rubino has a new warning concerning Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” making its way through Congress and Moody’s downgrade of US debt. 

 The Big Beautiful Bill is going to explode the debt by $20 trillion in the next 10 years, and the credit downgrade has people like billionaire investment fund founder Ray Dalio worries about money printing to pay the $1.5 trillion in interest on federal debt. 

 Rubino warns, “The story with Moody’s downgrade isn’t that they did it, that they moved the US from triple A (Aaa) to one notch below (Aa1).  It’s kind of insane that a government with 125% of GDP has an investment rating at all.  Right?  They are clearly baking a gigantic currency crisis into the cake. 

Ray Dalio gets it right.  The rating agencies excuse or explanation for why the US still has an investment grade credit rating is that a country with a printing press can never default because it can just print enough money out of thin air to pay interest on its bonds, and it can do that forever.  

So, it’s triple A credit, which does not make any sense at all because if you just print a lot of money out of thin air to pay your debts, then your currency goes down in value, and you are paying back your creditors with depreciating currency, which is a form of default. 

The credit rating agencies are only looking at one kind of default where we just stop paying.  They are not looking at paying with cheaper currency year after year, and we stiff our creditors that way. 

 That’s why you don’t want to own Treasury bonds.  They are not going to stop paying interest, but the interest will not cover inflation going forward.  So, you will have a net real loss until they just crater, and then you will have a massive capital loss.”

On top of that, interest rates have been rising and not falling.  The 30-year mortgage rate is now just under 7% again.  Rubino says, “We went back up to unsustainable interest rates really quickly. . . . The Fed has promised a couple of rate cuts this year, and for interest rates to go up while the Fed is inferring easing means we are risking losing control of the financial markets. 

If the Fed can’t control interest rates, we are monumentally screwed as a financial system.  That’s kind of what we are headed for now.  In the US, interest rates are going back up, but if you want to look at an extreme case, look at Japan.  They don’t just have 30-year bonds, they have 40-year and 50-year bonds and those are cratering, which is to say the interest rates on those bonds are spiking.

  Long term Japanese bonds used to be 0%.  Now, they are 3% and change. . . . That change is huge.  So, Japan, the US, Europe, the UK and China, all of these big countries are basically making the same mistakes, and they are all headed in the same direction. 

We are in the early stage of a currency death spiral where interest rates start to go up and the government can’t control that and then their debt goes parabolic . . . and this goes until everything breaks down.  We are in the third inning of that game, and the last couple of innings are going to be hair raising.  There are going to be currency crises, which we have never seen in our lifetimes. . . . It will be fun times if you are a gold bug.”

Rubino thinks gold will go up in price way over $10,000 per ounce, and he also expects silver to take off too.  Rubino says, “Silver is a great story because it is an industrial metal that is in deficit.  Industrial uses are taking more silver off the markets than what they are producing, and that is going to lead to a shortage.  Even if you don’t look at silver as a monetary metal, the industrial demand makes it a buy right now.”

There is much more in the 46-minute interview.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

XRP LEDGER BREAKS GROUND WITH ITS FIRST MICA-REGULATED EURO STABLECOIN

Schuman Financial’s EURØP has officially become the first euro-denominated stablecoin to satisfy the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regime—while launching natively on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

Launched from Paris on 22 May, this historic development ties MiCA-grade legal certainty to a blockchain that has already processed over 3.3 billion transactions in its 12-year existence.

“EURØP on the XRPL combines the resilience of a global blockchain with euro-native liquidity and compliance at its core,” said Martin Bruncko, founder and CEO of Schuman Financial. “This will give Europe and euro-denominated financial markets an integral infrastructure for the next wave of financial innovation, which is happening on-chain.”

XRP Ledger And Why MiCA Status Matters

MiCA’s stablecoin provisions, which govern e-money tokens (EMTs) like EURØP, came into effect on 30 June 2024. These rules demand:

• Full 1:1 fiat backing

• Daily redeemability

• Bankruptcy-remote reserves

• Authorization by an EU regulator

Schuman Financial is licensed by the French ACPR as an EMT issuer. Its reserves are audited by KPMG and held at Société Générale and other top-tier banks.

While only a few issuers—Circle’s USDC and EURC, Société Générale’s EURCV, and about a dozen niche firms—have cleared MiCA’s high bar, EURØP is the first to do so on the XRP Ledger.

Historically, XRPL’s native DEX, rapid finality, and low fees made it a stronghold for IOU-based fiat tokens. However, EURØP now brings a fully MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin to that ecosystem for the first time.

The Strategic Importance of EURØP

Euro stablecoins currently make up just 0.15% of the $232 billion global stablecoin market—about $338 million as of April 2025. Still, they are now a strategic priority for European banks and fintechs, thanks to MiCA’s passportable legal framework.

For payment firms and corporate treasurers, EURØP delivers:

• Programmable settlement

• Transfers in 3–5 seconds

• Transaction costs of a fraction of a cent

• Full EU regulatory compliance

According to Schuman Financial, EURØP will support:

• DeFi lending pools

• Automated foreign-exchange corridors

• On-chain euro legs for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs)

These use cases align with MiCA’s framework—especially when firms file for a “significant” EMT designation with the European Banking Authority.

“The launch of EURØP on the XRP Ledger demonstrates how stablecoins can meet the high standards set by MiCA while unlocking new possibilities for on-chain payments and RWA tokenization,” said Cassie Craddock, Ripple’s Managing Director for UK & Europe.

SENATORS PLAN TO AMEND GENIUS ACT TO ADDRESS TRUMP FAMILY'S STABLECOIN

Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, and Jeff Merkley, are preparing to introduce an amendment to the GENIUS Act aimed at blocking U.S. presidents from profiting from stablecoins, in direct response to the Trump family’s involvement in crypto.

On May 20, the Senate voted to advance the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act)—after failing a procedural vote on May 8. The new amendment is designed to add anti-corruption guardrails, especially in light of Trump’s ties to the stablecoin USD1 and the crypto platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI).

“Passing the GENIUS Act without our anti-corruption amendment stamps a Congressional seal of approval on Trump selling access and influence to the highest bidder,” said Senator Jeff Merkley on X (May 22).

Trump Family Crypto Ties Under Fire

Trump and his three sons are linked to World Liberty Financial, which launched the USD1 stablecoin in March. Critics argue that Trump stands to personally benefit from legislation recognizing such stablecoins as official financial instruments.

A $2-billion investment in Binance, funded by an Abu Dhabi-based firm using USD1, could potentially generate profits for the Trump family via transaction fees.

While WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff dismissed the allegations as “flawed,” Democratic lawmakers have called for investigations into these potential conflicts of interest.

More Than Just Stablecoins: The Memecoin Dinner Backlash

Democrats also took aim at a separate controversy: a private dinner hosted by Trump at his golf club on May 22 for up to 220 top holders of his personal memecoin.

• Senators Merkley and Warren, alongside Senator Chris Murphy and Public Citizen, held a press conference and are demanding Trump release the dinner guest list.

• Progressive advocacy group Our Revolution joined Public Citizen in protesting the event.

 “What is happening tonight — this private, secret dinner — in which individuals who have put money in Donald Trump’s pocket, get access to him, is maybe the most corrupt of all the corruption,” said Senator Chris Murphy.

Murphy further alleged the attendees could be buying access to influence national security policy—especially as many of them remain anonymous and some are reportedly foreign nationals.

📝 The proposed amendment to the GENIUS Act represents a major push to regulate not only stablecoins but also potential political conflicts arising from crypto adoption at the highest levels of U.S. government.

Gold and the Great American Monetary Resets: From 1792 to Today

Gold and the Great American Monetary Resets: From 1792 to Today

by Nick Giambruno

Gold has been at the heart of the US monetary system since the nation’s founding, evolving from a direct anchor for the dollar to a strategic reserve asset.

Though it no longer backs the dollar, gold remains a cornerstone of central bank reserves, a discreet but powerful force in global finance.

Throughout American history, monetary resets have been a recurring theme—and more often than not, they have revolved around gold because gold is money.

Understanding this history isn’t just about the past—it’s about the future. And if history is any guide, another reset may be coming sooner than most expect.

1775: Continentals and the American Revolution

Before the Revolution, gold and silver coins were the backbone of trade in the American colonies.

When war broke out, the Continental Congress lacked the authority to levy taxes, forcing them to seek an alternative way to finance the war.

In 1775, Congress began issuing “Continental Currency”—the first fiat paper money in US history. These notes, known as “Continentals,” were supposed to be redeemable in gold and silver after the war, but that promise lacked credibility.

Continentals quickly became worthless amid hyperinflation. The phrase “Not worth a Continental” became synonymous with worthlessness.

By 1781, Continentals had lost over 99% of their value, and the US government effectively abandoned them, leaving holders with massive losses.

This disaster deepened distrust in fiat money and cemented the belief among the Founders that gold and silver must be the foundation of any stable monetary system.

1792: The Coinage Act and the Birth of the US Monetary System

After the disastrous failure of Continental Currency, the Coinage Act of 1792 created the first official US monetary system, ensuring stability by tying the dollar to both gold and silver.

Gold was set at $19.39 per ounce, while silver was also legal tender.

The Founders aimed to prevent another Continental-style collapse by anchoring the currency to hard money.

The First Bank of the United States (1791–1811)

The First Bank of the United States, the nation’s first central bank, was established under the leadership of Alexander Hamilton to stabilize the economy, issue a national currency backed by gold and silver, and manage federal deposits.

However, it quickly became a political flashpoint, facing fierce opposition from Thomas Jefferson and states’ rights advocates, who feared it concentrated too much financial power in the hands of the federal government.

When the bank’s 20-year charter expired in 1811, Congress refused to renew it.

The Second Bank of the United States (1816–1836)

In the wake of the financial chaos following the War of 1812, the US established another central bank, the Second Bank of the United States, in 1816.

Like its predecessor, it was designed to regulate credit, stabilize the currency, and hold federal deposits.

However, it quickly became a political lightning rod, particularly under President Andrew Jackson, who saw it as a corrupt institution that served elite interests at the expense of ordinary Americans.

Jackson vetoed its recharter in 1832, waged a successful campaign against it, and ultimately dismantled the bank in 1836.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS: STANDARD CHARTERED, DEUTSCHE BANK PREDICT US DOLLAR’S FUTURE

Amid the ongoing BRICS de-dollarization agenda, global leading banks Standard Chartered and Deutsche Bank have provided the latest insights on the US dollar’s future prospects.

The two banks remain bearish on the greenback due to various macroeconomic factors. These trillion-dollar institutions are now questioning the profitability of US-backed financial assets on a global scale.

The US-backed assets, especially the dollar, which was once the bedrock of all global finances, is slowly drifting away after BRICS kick-started the de-dollarization initiative, and Standard Chartered and Deutsche Bank are taking notice of the drastic changes that have occurred in the markets since three years ago.

BRICS: The US Dollar’s Future Is in Danger, Say Standard Chartered & Deutsche Bank

Standard Chartered and Deutsche Bank wrote in their latest report that the US dollar is in danger, not just from BRICS, but from everyone.

“The dollar weakness story is not over,” wrote Standard Chartered Global FX head Steve Englander. The strategist explained that the new trade policies have caused a long-term strain, eroding confidence in the White House.

Following Standard Chartered’s warning, Deutsche Bank wrote that the US dollar would face trouble not only from BRICS but from within.

Deutsche Bank analysts warned that Trump’s tax-cut bill would add $3 trillion to $5 trillion to the nation’s fiscal debt. This projection estimates that the extended debt could be added over the years.

As of May 2025, America’s debt stands at $36.2 trillion and is spiraling out of control.

“The combination of diminished appetite to buy US assets (from BRICS and others) and the rigidity of a fiscal process that locks in very high deficits is what is making the market very nervous (on the dollar),” wrote George Saravelos, Global Head of FX Research at Deutsche Bank.

Therefore, both Standard Chartered and Deutsche Bank are bearish on the prospects of the US dollar, as global demand weakens and fiscal instability intensifies.

US LAWMAKER INTRODUCES ANTI-CORRUPTION BILL AHEAD OF TRUMP'S DINNER

Donald Trump is preparing to host up to 220 people at his golf club, with access tied to his memecoin purchases.

California Representative Maxine Waters, ranking member of the US House Financial Services Committee, has announced plans to introduce legislation “to block [Donald] Trump’s memecoin and stop his crypto corruption.”

In a May 22 notice, Waters said the Stop Trading, Retention, and Unfair Market Payoffs (TRUMP) in Crypto Act of 2025 bill would be aimed at blocking the US president, vice president, members of Congress, and their families from engaging in “crypto crime.”

The US lawmaker referred to Trump and his wife, Melania, issuing personal memecoins in January, his family launching a stablecoin, USD1, through the crypto platform World Liberty Financial, and the president attempting to establish a national Bitcoin reserve as his sons back a BTC mining venture.

“Donald Trump is preparing to dine with the top donors of his memecoin who’ve made him, and his family, richer,” said Waters, adding:

“Trump’s crypto con is not just a scam to target investors. It’s also a dangerous backdoor for selling influence over American policies to the highest foreign bidder.”

Waters’ bill was one of many actions announced to oppose the president’s dinner to reward memecoin holders. Senators Chris Murphy and Elizabeth Warren are expected to attend a press event with representatives for the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, and two Democratic organizations are set to protest at the Trump National Golf Club outside Washington, DC, where the memecoin dinner will be held.

Majority of participants have stayed anonymous ahead of dinner

The number and names of attendees to the May 22 dinner were still largely unknown, but several revealed their intentions through social media and news outlets to apply for background checks and meet the president.

Bloomberg reported that more than half of the participants eligible for the dinner and “VIP Tour” — a separate experience limited to the top 25 memecoin holders — were likely foreign nationals.

Among those claiming to attend included:

• Tron founder Justin Sun

• Hyperithm co-CEO Oh Sangrok

• Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu

• Synthetix founder Kain Warwick

Sun posted to X on May 21, showing himself appearing to gain access to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, DC, part of the White House compound.

Addressing members of the press on May 22, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump was attending the dinner “in his personal time.” 

She denied that the event would take place at the White House, despite the memecoin project’s website previously stating the top 25 holders would be eligible for a tour of the government building.

Since the launch of the TRUMP memecoin on Jan. 17, many lawmakers and industry figures — including some generally supportive of Trump’s policies — have criticized the project.

In a May 20 article, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board called on the White House to disclose the names of those attending the dinner, adding that Trump would “help himself by calling off his Thursday gala.”

Two organizations behind the TRUMP token are tied directly to the president and control roughly 80% of the total supply, opening up the potential for a rug pull in the future. In the previous 24 hours, the price of the memecoin has risen more than 11%, to $15.76 from $14.13.

Gold Telegraph: Without Central Banks Monetizing Debt, the Entire System Cracks

Gold Telegraph: Without Central Banks Monetizing Debt, the Entire System Cracks

5-22-2025

Gold Telegraph  @GoldTelegraph

Suddenly the entire planet is watching Japan. We all have been watching this financial circus for years.

This cartoon I made from 9 months ago is starting to look like reality. Look at the bond market right now in Japan.

I have been sounding the alarm on Japan for years. I mentioned this on stage in Denver last year but Japan has literally socialized its financial system.

What was once unthinkable is now the model… Without central banks monetizing debt, the entire system cracks.

BREAKING NEWS: THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK IS WARNING THAT A FUNDAMENTAL REGIME SHIFT COULD BE UNDERWAY AS INVESTORS RETHINK UNITED STATES ASSETS

The world is becoming awake.

“The ECB suggested that investors seem to be rethinking U.S. assets…”

Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/21/a-fundamental-regime-shift-could-be-underway-as-investors-rethink-us-assets-ecb-says.html

Gold is the anchor that reality ties to your ankle when you spend without restraint. Governments know this, that’s why they fear it. Because gold doesn’t negotiate… it exposes.

Japan printed itself into a corner. Now the world is watching its bond market and pretending to be shocked.

What did you expect when the central bank owned over half the debt? Why is this so hard to understand?

I wrote this nearly 2 years ago. Complete monetary confusion in Japan.

Gold Telegraph:   COMPLETE MONETARY CONFUSION IN JAPAN Japan's budget demand for the upcoming fiscal year is expected to reach a RECORD high of over $767 billion. The Japanese government has debt that's over twice the size of its economy. Largest amongst industrial nations. Japan is the third largest economy in the world. The Bank of Japan is in a deep, dark corner as they have created an illusionary financial market that is now distorted.

 ‣ Gold is right at record highs in Japan.

‣ The Japanese Yen's buying power sinks to a 53-year low.

‣ The country STILL has NEGATIVE interest rates.

‣ The Bank of Japan is purchasing government bonds at a RECORD pace this year.

 ‣ In May, The Bank of Japan reported an unrealized loss on its Japanese government bond holdings for the first time in 17 years

‣ The Bank of Japan holds 53% of outstanding Japanese government bonds.

 ‣ The Bank of Japan owns 6% of the entire Japanese stock market.

This is what flying by the seat of your pants looks like.

We recently discovered that the Bank of Japan is collaborating with 60 companies, including megabanks, regional lenders, Sony, Toyota, and East Japan Railway, on a pilot program to develop a digital yen.

 As I have often said: Gold is a hedge against stupidity. How much more strange can Japan get?

News, Rumors and Opinions Thursday 5-22-2025

Note: All intel should be considered as "Rumors" until we receive official announcements ...and “Rates and Dates” could change anytime until we get to the banks/redemption centers.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 22 May 2025

Compiled Thurs. 22 May 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note on Exchange Appointment: It is my personal opinion, and I could be wrong, that exchange rates were set and non negotiable, that we could gain immediate access to our monies as soon as the currency was verified not to be a forgery and that no one but ourselves would see what’s in, or could gain access to our wallet (personal bank account on the QFS System). Also, we will be given a second appointment to explain our Humanitarian Projects and redeem Zim Bonds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s official: as of Fri. 23 May 2025, Redemption Centers will (allegedly) begin processing live appointments under full GESARA protocol. …Nesara Gesara QFS on Telegram

Locations are tightly controlled. No drop-ins. You’ll receive your time slot via direct encrypted alert — be ready.

According to sources inside two U.S. Treasury branches, the schedule is already (allegedly) being populated with approved Tier 4B participants. This is the moment we’ve all prepared for.

What happens at a Redemption Center?

• You’ll confirm your identity through biometric authentication.
• Your ZIM, Dinar, and Dong holdings will be verified and exchanged at asset-backed rates.
• You’ll (allegedly) receive a digital quantum card tied directly to your sovereign QFS wallet.
• You’ll be briefed on post-exchange asset management, debt clearance, and project support funds.

Starting Mon. 26 May 2025 initial Redemption Centers in the U.S. and EU are expected to go live for private appointment scheduling. …Nesara Gesara QFS on Telegram

These centers are pre-designated quantum access locations for early adopters and pre-authorized individuals to transition into the QFS ecosystem.

Biometric scan entry

Currency exchange at fixed quantum rates

On-boarding to sovereign asset accounts

Immediate digital wallet deployment.

What’s key here? No banks. No third parties. No surveillance. Just a clean handshake between human and system.

Expect this phase to remain mostly silent in the media. But those with invites will know what to do. This is the real quiet before the financial storm.

The Greatest Financial and Political Shift in Modern History is Underway

The Global Currency Reset Has Been Released

Three More Days

Be Ready

Blackout

The World is Connected, is Watching.

TRUST THE PLAN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Judy Note: The IRS is (allegedly) gone, the Federal Reserve collapsing and the Worldwide Quantum Financial System has been placed online.

President Trump has (allegedly) signed GESARA into law – the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the World – taxpayer monies stolen by globalist elite were being paid back to hard working people who answer only to a loving God.

The corrupt financial system was crumbling. The Federal Reserve, collapsing, the IMF and World Bank scrambling.

Frank26  This is actually happening.  I know it's late.  I know it's a constant delay but it really truly sincerely is happening...The articles keep screaming everything that [Boots on the ground Firefly's banking friend] Mr Sammy wants to tell us.  Mr. Sammy knows damn well that it's about to happen...Right now it's not a guessing game anymore.  It is a reality...The whole world is not coming to Iraq because of 1310.  These are exciting time for our investment.  That's my opinionated fact...  

Kaperoni   Though many people feel that they haven't seen any results,  significant improvements in Iraq include the central bank's efforts to transition to digital. The two-year plan to integrate the banking system with the global financial system is a critical step.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

US LAWMAKER REINTRODUCES BILL AMID PUSHBACK ON TRUMP'S CRYPTO TIES

The US president's intention to host a dinner for people who purchased millions of dollars worth of his memecoin has contributed to slowing or halting crypto bills in Congress.

A Democratic representative in the US Congress will support a blockchain bill at a time when many left-leaning lawmakers are blocking crypto-related pieces of legislation due to concerns with President Donald Trump’s potential conflicts of interest.

In a May 21 notice, Minnesota Representative Tom Emmer said he had reintroduced the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, a bill that “solidifies that digital asset developers and service providers that do not custody consumer funds are not money transmitters.” Emmer, a Republican, said Democratic Representative Ritchie Torres would co-lead the bill, making it a bipartisan effort in Congress.

“The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act reflects a thoughtful, bipartisan effort to get digital asset policy right,” said Torres. “While similar language was voted down in markup last Congress, we took that feedback seriously and returned with a smarter, sharper framework that protects innovation without compromising oversight.”

Representatives of advocacy organizations, including the Crypto Council for Innovation, Solana Policy Institute, Digital Chamber, Coin Center, DeFi Education Fund, and Blockchain Association, said they would support the proposed blockchain regulatory bill.

It was unclear whether Emmer and Torres had a majority of votes in the House of Representatives for the legislation to pass.

Torres has supported many bills and policies favorable to the crypto industry since assuming office in 2021. Together with Emmer, he has led the Congressional Crypto Caucus to advance crypto-friendly policies in the House since March.

A Bipartisan Blockchain Bill Amid Memecoin Concerns?

Other Democratic House members, including Representative Maxine Waters, have suggested they intend to block any legislation related to crypto and blockchain until Republicans address Trump’s connections to the industry, such as his family’s stake in World Liberty Financial and his TRUMP memecoin.

The president is planning to host a dinner with up to 220 people holding the most significant amounts of his memecoin on May 22.

MICHIGAN LAWMAKERS PROPOSE FOUR NEW CRYPTO-RELATED BILLS

The new Michigan bills would permit Bitcoin pension investments, bar state CBDC support, and offer tax breaks for crypto mining at oil sites.

▪️ Michigan lawmakers introduced four crypto-related bills, including HB 4510, which would permit public retirement funds to invest in Bitcoin via regulated exchange-traded products.

▪️ HB 4511 seeks to block state support for U.S. central bank digital currencies, banning any licensing, taxation, or official advocacy of CBDCs by state agencies.

▪️ Two companion bills, HB 4512 and HB 4513, promote Bitcoin mining at abandoned oil wells, offering tax breaks to companies that restore environmental sites in exchange for mining rights.

Four new crypto-related bills were introduced in the Michigan House late Wednesday, joining a growing trend of state-level efforts to define the role of digital assets in public policy.

Rep. Bill Schuette’s (R-MI) House Bill 4510 seeks to allow Michigan’s state treasurer to invest retirement funds in crypto, provided they averaged a market cap of at least $250 billion over the previous year and are held through exchange-traded products.

That threshold effectively narrows eligibility to Bitcoin, which soared past $111,000 on Wednesday and set a new all-time high amid renewed institutional interest.

Assets must be held through exchange-traded products issued by registered investment firms, ensuring regulatory oversight, according to HB 4510.

The next measure, House Bill 4511, introduced by Rep. Bryan Posthumus (R-MI), takes aim at the federal government’s push for central bank digital currencies.

The bill proposes a state-level ban on any licensing, taxation, or restriction of digital asset holdings, and outright prohibits state agencies from advocating for a U.S. CBDC.

“An agency or department of this state shall not advocate for or support... the testing, adoption, or implementation of a [CBDC],” the bill reads.

Meanwhile, Rep. Mike McFall (D-MI) introduced two companion bills, HB 4512 and HB 4513, focused on Bitcoin mining and tax reform.

One establishes a “Bitcoin Program,” allowing private firms to plug abandoned oil or gas wells in exchange for temporary rights to mine Bitcoin using residual fuel sources.

The other offers income and corporate tax deductions for revenue earned through such mining efforts, linking crypto directly to environmental remediation.

If passed, the program would be administered by the state’s Supervisor of Wells, who would maintain a public registry of eligible well sites, solicit annual bids, and ensure that participating miners carry financial responsibility for site restoration.

Michigan’s legislative push comes as several U.S. states race to either welcome or restrict crypto adoption.

Just hours earlier, the Texas House passed a bill to create a state-managed Bitcoin reserve, sending it to Governor Greg Abbott’s desk.

The bill would allow the state comptroller to invest in any digital asset with a market cap above $500 billion, currently only Bitcoin.

New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed a similar bill into law earlier this month, making her state the first in the country to formally authorize crypto and precious metal investments for public funds.

Tishwash:  Iraq and France Discuss Boosting Economic Ties

Iraq's Minister of Trade, Dr. Atheer Daoud Al-Ghurairi, met on Tuesday with French Ambassador to Baghdad, Patrick Durel, to explore ways of enhancing bilateral cooperation, particularly in the economic and investment sectors.

Al-Ghurairi emphasised Iraq's commitment to creating an attractive investment environment and highlighted the country's promising opportunities across various sectors. He invited French companies to participate in a "Made in France" exhibition in Iraq and proposed a joint forum for Iraqi and French private sectors to present investment projects and explore partnerships.

The two officials also discussed strengthening cooperation in trade, agriculture, and healthcare.

Ambassador Durel praised Iraq's ongoing economic reforms aimed at improving the business climate. He formally invited Minister Al-Ghurairi to visit France to deepen coordination and expand areas of cooperation.

Both sides agreed to continue joint efforts to broaden business engagements and reinforce economic and commercial relations for the mutual benefit of the two countries.  link

Tishwash:  Minister of Environment: Carbon projects will provide additional income for Iraq and attract international investments.

Environment Minister Helo Al-Askari confirmed on Wednesday that carbon projects will provide additional income for Iraq and attract significant international investments.

“Iraq faces major environmental challenges, including rising temperatures, low rainfall, water scarcity, and declining water levels in rivers and water bodies. This has led to a significant decline in biodiversity and an increase in desertification, which has resulted in the displacement of a number of villagers and rural residents in some areas to other areas, which will cause future problems for the receiving regions in terms of social, political, environmental, and economic aspects,” the Minister of Environment said during the first international conference on carbon economics, which was followed by Al-Masry.

The Minister of Environment explained that "these factors have prompted the Iraqi government to pay attention to the environmental file and related issues. One of the most notable achievements of the government of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is the establishment of the General Company for Carbon Economics within the Ministry of Environment." He indicated that "this company not only works to issue carbon bonds, but also seeks to implement environmental improvement projects to preserve Iraq's environment."

The Minister affirmed that “Iraq is witnessing an urban, political, economic and social renaissance, and the features of an environmental renaissance have begun to appear, in accordance with the Prime Minister’s directives to maximize and diversify the financial revenues of all ministries. Our ministry, through the efforts of all, has been able to establish the General Company for Carbon Economics and work with relevant national and international bodies to attract international companies to the country for investment, which will contribute to securing an additional source of income for Iraq.”

He pointed out that "the ministry has achieved a major accomplishment through the General Company for Carbon Economics, attracting the interest of international companies, including the global specialist company Olefin, which has pledged to invest £2 billion in the first phase of the project."  link

Tishwash:  Erbil International Fair: A Vital Platform for Attracting Investors

The 15th Erbil International Construction, Electricity, and Energy Exhibition is a key meeting point for investors and owners of industrial and commercial companies from inside and outside Iraq, reflecting the vitality of the industrial and commercial sector in the region and the country as a whole.

The exhibition, which will run for several days, features more than 250 local, Arab, and foreign companies specializing in construction, equipment, and building materials, providing a great opportunity to exchange expertise and establish new partnerships that enhance investment opportunities and economic development.

The exhibition's general manager, Kuran Saad Abdullah, told Al-Sabah that the local government in the Kurdistan Region attaches great importance to the exhibition and is working in coordination with relevant government ministries and directorates to support its activities. The exhibition has attracted wide participation from 16 Arab and foreign countries, including 34 specialized Chinese companies, which reinforces the exhibition's importance as a regional and international center for trade and industry.

The exhibition provides an integrated platform that brings together specialists in the fields of infrastructure, housing, and various investment projects. Participating companies showcase the latest products, services, and advanced technologies that meet the demands of the local and regional markets.

Abdullah pointed out that the exhibition's activities include a global trade conference, which will include extensive discussions on opportunities and challenges in the industrial and investment sectors, with the attendance of senior government officials, diplomats, and relevant authorities.

He explained that entry to the exhibition is limited to companies, investors, and specialized visitors via a barcode system, and will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The exhibition will continue until tomorrow, Friday, allowing those interested in building business relationships and strengthening their presence in the market.  link

Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and an IQD Update “The Quiet Phase”

Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and an IQD Update “The Quiet Phase”

589bull:   5-21-2025

Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill isn’t just about tax cuts and immigration.

It’s the operational key to unlock a full financial realignment.

You’re watching:
– Iraq’s IQD revaluation prep
– XRP liquidity pathways being finalized
– VND quietly shifting positions
– Gold reserves recalculated
– The IRS phased out in favor of tariff-based funding
– CBDCs stalled to make room for asset-backed alternatives

This bill seals the border because sovereignty must come before value.

It ends tax slavery because the system is moving to external revenue (trade, not labor).

It restructures the federal beast because you can’t plug in the new rails until the old system is neutralized.

No bill = no legal trigger.
No legal trigger = no reset.

This vote is the mechanics for the RV.

And if it passes… Don’t be surprised when IQD pairs go live, XRP corridors ignite, and the fake fiat world starts getting priced out of existence.

This is it. Execution phase.

IQD Update – The Quiet Phase

A lot of people are asking: “Where did the signals go? Did we miss something?”

No. You’re watching exactly what a pre-reset holding pattern looks like.

Here’s what’s happening under the silence:
– Budget tables are locked
– KRG salaries are unified
– $64B in foreign capital secured
– Arab League alignment complete
– Oil contracts being centralized by Baghdad
– Exchange rate chatter hasn’t been denied

This is a strategic blackout before a shift.

We’re past the noise phase. Now it’s timing, execution, and positioning.

The reset doesn’t warn you…

Hold the line.

Rich Dad Poor Dad Author Warns ‘The End Is Here’

Rich Dad Poor Dad Author Warns ‘The End Is Here’

Anushka Basu  Wed, May 21, 2025

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, posted an alarming warning on X on May 21, saying that "the end is here" after a U.S. Treasury bond auction that he said failed.

Kiyosaki has been a big proponent of Bitcoin, which is only 2.22% away from reaching its all-time high, now trading at $106,663.73, as per Kraken's price page.

Robert Kiyosaki  

@theRealKiyosaki

THE END is HERE: WHAT if you threw a party and no one showed up? That is what happened yesterday. The Fed held an auction for US Bonds and no one showed up. So the Fed quietly bought $50 billion of its own fake money with fake money. The party is over. Hyperinflation is here. Millions, young and old to be wiped out financially. Good news. Gold will go to $25,000. Silver to $70. Bitcoin to $500 k to $ 1 million. “The Big Print” the title of Larry Lepards latest book is on. Please read it. THE END I have been warning the world about is HERE. May GOd have mercy on our souls. 6:48 AM · May 21, 2025 ·976.5K  Views    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/rich-dad-poor-dad-author-155007276.html

Kiyosaki said the Federal Reserve was forced to buy $50 billion in bonds, which he called "fake money to buy fake money." On May 20, the Federal Reserve put out a $60 million auction claim, which will be issued on May 27, as per the Treasury offering news.

Kiyosaki, in his typically blunt style, warned that this action is the beginning of hyperinflation, leading to a financial collapse that will decimate millions. "The party is over," he wrote, adding that both young and old will be "wiped out financially."

Final Melt-Up to S&P 8000 - Then an 80 % Crash

David Hunter WARNS: Final Melt-Up to S&P 8000 - Then an 80 % Crash

Wealthion:  5-21-2025

Contrarian macro strategist David Hunter delivers his boldest outlook yet: a final parabolic melt-up in stocks during 2025, capping a 43-year secular bull market, followed by what he calls the biggest deflationary bust since 1929.

In this must-watch interview with James Connor, Hunter predicts the S&P 500 surging to 8000 and the Dow to 55,000 before an 80 % collapse wipes out trillions.

Key points he explains:

Why the Fed is already behind the curve and will soon panic-cut rates

How bearish institutional positioning could fuel the melt-up

Signs we may already be in a recession

Why the coming global bust could dwarf 2008

How a $20 trillion Fed balance-sheet expansion could spark hyperinflation later in the 2030s

Why the next bull market should favor commodities, oil, and precious metals over tech

Also discussed: his targets of $ 20,000 gold, $500 silver, $500 oil, and why traditional index investing may be “dead money” for a generation.
