Tishwash:  Secret meeting in Istanbul: Washington threatens new financial sanctions on Iraq

An informed source revealed to Al-Mustaqilla that an unannounced meeting was held in Istanbul in recent days, bringing together the Assistant Chairman of the US Federal Reserve and a high-ranking delegation from the Central Bank of Iraq. The source stated that the meeting came at the urgent invitation of the US to discuss critical developments in the file of financial transfers and Iraqi banking transactions.

According to the source, the US side informed the Iraqi delegation that new financial sanctions are under preparation, to be imposed on a number of Iraqi banks and financial institutions, due to what the US side described as "continued violations" in international transfer systems and the failure of some Iraqi entities to comply with international guidelines to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

Direct warnings

The source indicated that the Iraqi delegation received direct warnings of the possibility of freezing additional assets and imposing restrictions on dollar accounts if urgent measures are not taken to regulate the Iraqi financial system and prevent suspicious flows through some Iraqi banks and companies.

A new crisis is looming

These developments come amid escalating tensions between Baghdad and Washington over economic and security issues, most notably restrictions on dollar transfers and US accusations against some Iraqi entities of dealing with entities on sanctions lists.

Observers believe that the new sanctions, if implemented, will deal a severe blow to the Iraqi banking system and could lead to a further deterioration in the value of the dinar and increased pressure on the local market at a time when the Central Bank of Iraq is trying to revive investor confidence and stabilize the exchange rate.

No official comment yet

As of the time of writing this report, no official comment has been issued by the Central Bank of Iraq or the US Embassy in Baghdad regarding the content of the meeting or the content of the warnings contained therein  link

Tishwash:  Iraq's Ambassador to the UAE: The government's engagement in international partnerships strengthens its presence in the energy future.

Iraqi Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Muzaffar Al-Jubouri, affirmed today, Thursday, that Iraq's engagement in international partnerships strengthens its presence in the energy future, noting that the Energy Readiness Report highlights the promising opportunities that Iraq possesses and its position in the regional and international arena, and represents a turning point towards a sustainable energy future .

Al-Jubouri said during the conference to deliver the comprehensive report on the "Energy Transition Assessment in Iraq," which was attended by the correspondent of the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The launch of the Iraq Energy Readiness Report represents the fruit of national efforts and close cooperation with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), to which we express our deep appreciation, both government and experts, for the technical, technical and cognitive support they provided throughout the preparation of this important report, as the energy sector is a fundamental pillar of economic and social development, a key axis for industrial and agricultural growth, and the provision of basic services to citizens ."

He added, "The Energy Readiness Report highlights strengths and challenges and provides realistic recommendations for improving performance and developing the energy sector in Iraq. In this context, integrating renewable energy into the national system is a strategic option to address significant waste, enhance production efficiency, and reduce emissions. Renewable energy technologies emerge as a practical and economic alternative that provides reliable solutions to secure supplies and enhance energy security. It embodies close cooperation with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)," stressing "Iraq's commitment to moving forward on this path in accordance with a development vision that takes into account national interests and enhances its positive engagement in regional and international partnerships ."

He continued: "Iraq's efforts to launch this report began in 2018, and since joining the Iraqi ambassador to the United Arab Emirates in 2021, one of our primary goals has been to closely follow up with relevant authorities to complete it in a way that reflects Iraq's energy landscape and paves the way for a clear strategic vision for energy transformation."

He pointed out that "the Energy Readiness Report represents a milestone in Iraq's path toward a sustainable energy future, as it highlights the extent of the structural challenges facing the national energy system, such as the large gap between production and demand, high technical losses exceeding 50 percent, and the declining contribution of renewable energy, which still represents 2 percent of the primary energy mix ."

Al-Jubouri explained that "the report highlighted the promising opportunities that Iraq possesses, including the abundance of natural resources and the interest of international partners. Iraq has already begun taking strategic steps, represented by the signing of important investment contracts with international and national companies, including Total Energy, Power China, and Acwa Power, in addition to construction and development projects with the Emirati company Masdar, which represent an important addition to the national energy mix."

He explained that "the most prominent feature of this report is its ability to chart a practical path towards a balanced energy future based on sustainability, economic sovereignty, and diversity, linking Iraq's development goals with global transformation paths, thus consolidating its pivotal position in the regional energy landscape and strengthening its presence in maintaining a sustainable energy future at the regional level." He pointed out that "Iraq's engagement in international partnerships strengthens its presence in the energy future ."

He pointed out that "we view this report as a real starting point for a new phase of institutional work in the energy sector, enhancing Iraq's ability to invest its resources and achieve its national aspirations for sustainable development as a first step toward building a future that meets the aspirations of our people and enhances Iraq's position on the national, regional, and international scene ."

Yesterday, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received the Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency, Mr. Francesco La Camera .

During the meeting, according to the statement, the assessment report on the energy transition in Iraq, prepared by the agency in cooperation with Iraqi sectoral bodies, was reviewed. The report serves as a source for identifying national priorities in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency, and will be launched soon .  link

Tishwash:  Defense: Iraq will look different after 100 days

Political advisor Ahmed Talib Al-Difai said on Thursday that Iraq will emerge differently after the parliamentary elections, which are only 100 days away.

Al-Difai said in a statement received by Al-Maalouma Agency, “These elections will produce a new political mentality in Iraq, completely different from the previous ones, in terms of political engagement, which will move from the box of competition for power to the space of construction, development, and the exploitation and maximization of the country’s financial resources.”

He explained that "developments in the regional arena will have clear repercussions on the next parliament, which will be the culmination of the efforts made by previous sessions and the governments that emerged from them, by dealing with them with more realism and rationality, sparing Iraq from all the conflicts taking place in the region."

He pointed out that "after 100 days, the Iraqi citizen will have the upper hand in determining Iraq's fate, and he will be worthy of this task after proving his awareness and concern for his country, which will be at the top of the pyramid of development in the region if its capabilities and resources are exploited."

He stressed that "the next political generation that will be born after 100 days will be the foundation for a new phase from which all youthful energies will launch, carrying new ideas and projects that will place Iraq among the countries of the region."

He stressed the necessity that "the Iraqi citizen, on whose keenness we rely, chooses his correct future by going out after 100 days to choose his representatives and preserves the gains of the political system, the most important pillar of which is the peaceful transfer of power in an atmosphere of expressing opinions."  link

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

India Backs Away From BRICS Currency, Reinforces Commitment to the US Dollar

• India’s central bank dismisses BRICS currency progress, calls the USD indispensable.
• Comments seen as a strategic pivot to secure U.S. trade ties and avoid Trump’s proposed tariffs.
• India balances rupee promotion with firm support for the existing dollar-based global system.

RBI Governor Rejects BRICS Currency Momentum

In a pointed departure from the BRICS de-dollarization agenda, India’s Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra downplayed the viability of a shared BRICS currency, while openly affirming the enduring dominance of the U.S. dollar in global trade.

“As of now, there is not much work happening on a BRICS currency,” Malhotra said in an interview with The Times of India, noting that the dollar remains an “universal cross-border currency” that is not going away anytime soon.

His remarks, delivered just days after the BRICS 2025 Summit, signal a significant policy stance from one of the group’s most influential economies.

India Distances Itself From De-Dollarization Push

The RBI’s public comments come at a time when China and Russia have aggressively promoted local-currency trade and alternatives to the dollar—moves interpreted by Western analysts as an effort to weaken U.S. financial hegemony.

India, however, appears to be taking a moderated position:

• Promoting local currency trade, particularly the rupee,

• Avoiding full-scale de-dollarization,

• And differentiating its policy from China’s yuan-based ambitions.

“It takes years, it takes decades for local currencies to gain popularity,” Malhotra said. “The dollar is going to be here for a longish time.”

Geopolitical Timing: India Shields Itself From Tariffs

Observers suggest India’s rhetoric is partly aimed at avoiding U.S. tariff threats from former President Donald Trump, who has openly warned countries against abandoning the dollar.

Following the BRICS summit, Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods, signaling a willingness to punish BRICS members seen as challenging U.S. financial dominance. India’s pivot, therefore, may be designed to keep U.S. trade ties intact and protect its export economy.

“India is seeking to dodge Trump’s tariffs,” Bloomberg reported. “Officials in New Delhi are informing U.S. authorities that they do not intend to undermine the greenback.”

Internal Balancing Act: Rupee Promotion Without De-Dollarization

While distancing itself from a BRICS reserve currency, India remains open to settling bilateral trade in local currencies, especially in deals with South Asia, Africa, and parts of the Middle East. This approach boosts rupee internationalization without directly challenging the dollar-based system.

The strategy:

• Encourages regional economic integration,

• Supports domestic growth targets,

• Avoids confrontation with the U.S.

India's dual approach allows it to remain a BRICS member while maintaining trade and diplomatic alignment with Washington.

U.S.–India Trade Alliance: A Strategic Priority

The pivot appears to be paying dividends diplomatically. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance recently praised India’s economic growth and partnership potential:

“The fate of the 21st century is going to be determined by the strength of the United States and India partnership.”

Meanwhile, Indian negotiators are continuing dialogues on trade concessions with the U.S., signaling that New Delhi sees long-term opportunity in siding with the dollar-based system rather than challenging it via the BRICS framework.

Conclusion: India Reshapes BRICS Alignment for Strategic Gains

India’s decision to publicly downplay the BRICS currency and support the U.S. dollar is more than a monetary policy signal—it’s a geopolitical maneuver. In distancing itself from the yuan-led de-dollarization campaign, India is protecting trade access, strengthening bilateral ties, and securing its place in the evolving U.S.-led financial order.

With Trump’s tariff policy back in motion and tensions within BRICS growing, New Delhi is reasserting its independence—not by exiting the bloc, but by choosing balance over confrontation.

The Dollar Is Doomed & Most Will Realize Too Late | Alasdair Macleod

The Dollar Is Doomed & Most Will Realize Too Late | Alasdair Macleod

Liberty and Finance:  7-25-2025

Dunagun Kaiser and Alasdair MacLeod discuss the current state and future outlook of precious metals like gold and silver in contrast to fiat currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar.

MacLeod emphasizes that gold and silver are undervalued, especially when measured against a basket of industrial metals over the long term, suggesting significant potential for appreciation.

He explains that fiat currencies are losing purchasing power, a reality often recognized first by foreigners and last by domestic users who are accustomed to measuring wealth in their national currency.

The conversation also touches on new U.S. legislation, like the Genius Act, which promotes stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasury bills, while banning central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), a move MacLeod believes undermines the global CBDC concept.

Ultimately, they advocate for physical assets as a safeguard against the ongoing debasement of credit-based fiat currencies, urging individuals to understand these shifts for personal financial preservation.

Gold Telegraph: New Global Currency of Power

7-26-2025

The President of the United States says: “I’m the person that likes a strong dollar, but a weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money.”

Very interesting…

Real power isn’t printed. It is mined, harvested, and refined. Financial dominance can be forced. But resource independence must be earned.

True sovereignty means being self-sufficient in energy, food, and critical elements in today’s multipolar world. That’s the new global currency of power.

The President just said it: “You make a hell of a lot more with a weaker dollar.”

That’s fiat currency in a nutshell… devalue to survive. But over time, currencies don’t float… They sink to zero against gold. The only true, sound money.

BREAKING NEWS: THE US TREASURY DEPARTMENT IS NOW ACCEPTING VENMO AND PAYPAL PAYMENTS FROM THOSE WHO WANT TO DONATE MONEY TO REDUCE THE NATION’S $36.7 TRILLION DEBT.

You are reading this right.

“Critics have questioned the value of individual donations toward the national debt…”

Source: https://nypost.com/2025/07/25/business/venmo-paypal-users-can-help-us-government-pay-down-36-7t-debt/

It’s interesting to watch the negotiations between the United States and Japan unfold, especially considering how much American debt Japan holds. At one point, Japan hinted that U.S. Treasuries could be a “card” in trade talks. They have walked it back But the signal was clear.

The Treasury Secretary of the United States says the Federal Reserve is losing a $100 BILLION a year and it’s time for an internal review.

Change is coming… Have a good weekend.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Stablecoin Supply Rises by $4B Amid New U.S. Legislation

• Over $4 billion in new stablecoin supply entered circulation in the week following passage of the GENIUS Act.
• Wall Street firms and federally chartered crypto banks are launching compliant fiat-backed stablecoins.
• The U.S. now has a legal framework supporting dollar-pegged digital assets for institutional use.

GENIUS Act Sparks Institutional-Grade Stablecoin Boom

Just days after the United States passed its first comprehensive crypto legislation, the stablecoin market cap surged by more than $4 billion, signaling a pivotal moment in the evolution of digital finance.

The GENIUS Act, signed into law on July 18, establishes a federal framework for fiat-backed stablecoins, giving banks, asset managers, and fintech firms long-awaited legal clarity to enter the space.

For an asset class long mired in regulatory uncertainty—split between SEC scrutiny, CFTC jurisdictional claims, and stalled congressional action—this new law offers a decisive greenlight.

What the GENIUS Act Delivers

The legislation sets clear rules for fiat-backed stablecoin issuers, including:

• 1:1 reserve requirements

• Mandatory independent audits

• Proper licensing under federal standards

The framework was crafted to protect consumers while providing institutional legitimacy—and early signs show the strategy is working.

Anchorage, WisdomTree, and Wall Street Move In

In the immediate aftermath of the bill’s passage:

• Anchorage Digital, the U.S.’s only federally chartered crypto bank, announced a new stablecoin issuance platform in partnership with Ethena Labs. Their upcoming product, USDtb, will fully comply with GENIUS Act standards.

• WisdomTree, a $100B Wall Street asset manager, unveiled USDW, a fiat-backed stablecoin supporting dividend-paying tokenized assets. This makes WisdomTree one of the first traditional financial firms to deploy a regulated stablecoin.

• Bank of America, JPMorgan, and Citigroup have publicly confirmed they are exploring their own GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoins, a sign of mainstream adoption accelerating.

Fiat-Backed Stablecoins Dominate the Market

The new legislation focuses exclusively on fiat-collateralized stablecoins, which currently represent 85% of the market.

• Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USDC remain the two largest players, with a combined market cap exceeding $227 billion.

Unlike algorithmic stablecoins—which lost credibility following Terra’s 2022 collapse—fiat-backed tokens are backed by dollars and U.S. Treasurys, offering a much more stable profile for institutional investors.

Crypto-backed coins like DAI, collateralized by assets such as ETH, continue to operate but play a much smaller role (DAI’s market cap stands at approximately $4.3 billion).

Stablecoins Go Institutional

The $4 billion expansion is not just a market reaction—it’s a structural shift.

Stablecoins are no longer niche crypto products. They’re rapidly evolving into infrastructure-grade instruments used in:

• Dividend distribution

• Cross-border settlement

• Tokenized asset platforms

• Potential integrations with central banks and government systems

Perhaps most importantly, they now enjoy bipartisan support in Congress, transforming a volatile regulatory risk into a national innovation agenda.

Conclusion: A Regulated Future for Digital Dollars

The GENIUS Act represents a major turning point in U.S. crypto policy. For the first time, fiat-backed digital dollars have a federal legal foundation.

With Wall Street entering the market, banks deploying on-chain assets, and startups building compliant platforms, the stablecoin ecosystem is entering a new era—regulated, integrated, and institutional.

El Salvador’s Bitcoin Reserve Fails to Benefit Average Citizens, Says NGO Executive

• Bitcoin is no longer legal tender in El Salvador under IMF agreement terms.
• State-led BTC education efforts have disappeared, according to grassroots NGOs.
• The country’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy may serve government holdings, not public use.

Bitcoin’s Legal Status Quietly Repealed Under IMF Loan Terms

El Salvador’s once-celebrated Bitcoin experiment is under scrutiny again after local nonprofit leaders confirmed that recent policy shifts have removed Bitcoin’s legal tender status—placing its benefits out of reach for the general population.

Quentin Ehrenmann, general manager at My First Bitcoin, a local NGO focused on Bitcoin education, told Reuters that state-backed initiatives to promote Bitcoin have stalled. The shift came after the government signed a loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which required El Salvador to scale back its crypto agenda.

“Since the government entered into this contract with the IMF, Bitcoin is no longer legal tender, and we haven't seen any other effort to educate people,” Ehrenmann explained.
“The government, apparently, continues to accumulate Bitcoin, which is beneficial for the government — it's not directly good for the people.”

IMF Loan Terms Restrict Bitcoin Purchases and Public Involvement

In addition to repealing the legal tender status of Bitcoin in the public sector, the El Salvadoran government also agreed not to purchase any new Bitcoin, a condition confirmed by a recent IMF report.

That finding directly contradicts statements from El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office, which has repeatedly claimed that the country is buying BTC on a daily basis.

In January, the legislature moved to roll back public sector involvement in Bitcoin to remain compliant with the IMF’s financing terms—raising questions about whether El Salvador’s historic crypto-first policy has ended in failure or simply transitioned into a more private, government-controlled strategy.

NGOs and Foreign Journalists Paint a Contrasting Picture on the Ground

Despite the government’s crypto retreat, some Salvadorans and visiting journalists have continued to test Bitcoin’s use in everyday life.

In 2023, Cointelegraph correspondent Joe Hall visited El Salvador and successfully paid for a hostel stay using IBEX Pay, a Bitcoin Lightning Network-based merchant solution. This demonstrates that Bitcoin infrastructure still exists, but adoption is increasingly dependent on private payment providers and NGOs, not state support.

Conclusion: Bitcoin for the State, Not the People?

El Salvador once made global headlines as the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. But that symbolic move has been quietly reversed under the financial oversight of the IMF.

While the government continues to hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet, the public-facing infrastructure, education programs, and legal framework have receded. That shift has drawn criticism from NGOs and observers who argue that the original promise of financial inclusion through Bitcoin is fading.

With IMF loan compliance now a priority, El Salvador’s crypto strategy appears more centralized, opaque, and removed from public benefit—raising doubts about whether the bold experiment will continue to serve the population it once aimed to empower.

How IOTA Is Quietly Solving the Real Problem in Global Trade with Real-Time Transparency and Feeless Transfers

• IOTA enables real-time customs checks and tamper-proof trade data across borders.
• East African pilot projects cut costs by 30% and sped up exports for smaller traders.
• Feeless architecture and digital audit trails reduce delays, eliminate friction, and increase trust.

The Hidden Bottleneck in Trade: Operational Friction, Not Fraud

Despite decades of technological progress, global trade remains encumbered by slow, fragmented, and paper-based systems. The real challenge isn’t fraud—but friction: missing documentation, slow approvals, and limited transparency.

IOTA, a feeless distributed ledger protocol, is addressing this challenge head-on. Its decentralized infrastructure is now powering real-time trade transparency and instant customs verification—eliminating weeks of delay with a system that charges no fees to participants.

“While others chase speculative hype, IOTA is laying the infrastructure that makes tokenized trade and compliant DePIN a reality,” one user commented on X.

Pilot Programs Deliver Tangible Results in East Africa

Early-stage deployments of IOTA’s Trade and Logistics Information Pipeline (TLIP) in Kenya and neighboring nations have shown measurable impact. Exporters using the system report:

• 30% reduction in costs,

• Significantly faster customs clearance,

• Greater security and trust for small and mid-sized traders.

IOTA’s solution eliminated up to 50% of the logistics gap, helping smaller firms compete on more equal footing.

TWIN Infrastructure Replaces Paperwork with Secure Digital Credentials

The broader initiative, known as the Trade and Logistics Information Network (TWIN), replaces physical documents with digital equivalents, secured by verifiable credentials.

Once implemented, customs forms, invoices, and approvals can be exchanged securely and instantly—removing manual bottlenecks, redundant intermediaries, and national siloing in trade systems.

Nations participating in TWIN trials report:

• Faster inter-agency coordination

• 35% growth in SME export volume

• Cost reductions of up to 80% in certain trade routes (as of June 2025)

Feeless Ledger, Tamper-Proof Audit Trails, and Institutional Partners

IOTA’s Tangle architecture—a feeless distributed ledger—underpins the entire framework. It ensures:

• No transaction fees for end users

• Scalability without congestion

• Tamper-proof data, ideal for trade audits and dispute prevention

Organizations or institutions can sponsor required fees, allowing for sustainable, spam-resistant usage while keeping the network accessible.

The initiative is being coordinated through the TWIN Foundation, in partnership with:

• The Tony Blair Institute,

• TradeMark Africa,

• The Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation,

• The World Economic Forum

Together, they aim to offer a shared, open-source infrastructure for digital trade, especially in developing markets historically excluded from global trade efficiencies.

Token Impact and Analyst Outlook

As of now, the IOTA token (MIOTA) is trading at $0.2080, up 4.6% over 24 hours, with a market cap of $815.4 million.

Recent technical analysis indicates a potential price move mirroring 2020, which could take the asset to $1+—a 300% increase from current levels—should institutional use and protocol adoption continue to expand.

Conclusion: Infrastructure First, Hype Later

While much of the blockchain space focuses on speculation and marketing, IOTA is building the rails of next-generation global trade. Real-world trials in East Africa and Europe show that digital trust, efficiency, and inclusion are no longer just theoretical.

By solving the real problems of global commerce, IOTA is positioning itself not only as a tech innovator, but as a quiet force reshaping how the world moves goods across borders.

“BRICS News” From Kinesis Money 7-25-2025

BRICS Tokenizes Gold - LFTV Ep 233

Kinesis Money:  7-25-2025

In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire exposes the seismic impact of BRICS quietly reshaping global trade - by bypassing the dollar with tokenised gold, decentralised systems and physical pricing, as Western media turns a blind eye.

With central banks hoarding gold off-market and BRICS-backed blockchain infrastructure enabling instant, tariff-proof settlement, physical supply is draining fast from synthetic markets, exposing the fragility of the West’s paper-driven pricing model.

Russia Dumps Dollars and Builds Alternative Gold Market - The Freedom Report

Kinesis Money:  7-24-2025

In this episode of The Freedom Report, Rob Kientz dives into Russia’s bold moves to reshape the global gold market—nationalizing major mines, launching a competing gold exchange, and ramping up trade with China.

With global distrust in Western gold pricing and increasing signs of de-dollarization, Kientz unpacks how Russia and its allies are leveraging gold to build economic independence and challenge U.S. monetary dominance.

As central banks accelerate domestic gold purchases and local refining capacity expands, a global shift is underway—one that threatens the supremacy of the dollar, the Treasury market, and the Western financial system itself.

For everyday investors, Kientz offers a sobering warning: the world is undeniably moving toward gold. The implications of this paradigm shift are profound, impacting everything from currency valuations to investment portfolios.

Those who ignore this accelerating trend may find themselves left behind in a rapidly evolving financial landscape. The future of global finance, Kientz suggests, could be denominated not in dollars, but in ounces of gold.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

India Confirms BRICS De-Dollarization Efforts Despite Trump’s Pressure

• India acknowledges that BRICS nations are actively exploring alternatives to the U.S. dollar for cross-border trade and settlement.
• Despite Trump's 10% tariff threats, discussions on local currency usage and interoperable BRICS payment systems continue.
• India walks a diplomatic tightrope—welcoming diversified monetary systems while rejecting a BRICS common currency.

India Confirms Currency Shift Talks Underway

India has formally confirmed that BRICS nations are advancing talks on mutual trade settlements using local currencies and interoperable cross-border payment systems—initiatives seen by many as stepping stones toward de-dollarization. Officials say these discussions are progressing despite strong opposition and tariff threats from the United States under President Trump.

At a recent press briefing, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal explained:

“We had a highly successful BRICS summit… In the joint statement, there are several aspects that have been fleshed out that strengthen the BRICS platform… Cross-border payments, yes, BRICS have talked about local currencies, but de-dollarisation is not something that is there on the agenda.”

This clarification shows India’s nuanced position: While it supports greater monetary autonomy for BRICS countries, it resists the idea of completely replacing the U.S. dollar or launching a common BRICS currency—at least for now.

Trump’s Threats Complicate BRICS Coordination

The Trump administration’s renewed tariff threats have escalated tensions within the BRICS alliance. President Trump recently warned of 10% tariffs on nations engaging in policies aimed at reducing dependence on the U.S. dollar. The comments came shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed the creation of a new BRICS investment platform—an initiative seen as a vehicle for financial independence.

Trump called such actions “anti-American”, and pledged steep economic penalties on countries adopting them.

India’s Strategic Position: Realism Over Revolution

India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar offered a cautious counterpoint:

“India has never been for de-dollarization. Right now, there is no proposal to have a BRICS currency.”

While India has experimented with rupee-based trade settlements—particularly with sanctioned nations like Russia—the volatility of the rupee and its depreciation (from ₹73 to ₹85 per USD over the past five years) makes a larger move toward de-dollarization risky. India’s leadership is deeply aware that currency instability, Western capital dependencies, and technological reliance make total decoupling from the dollar unfeasible in the near term.

Moreover, policymakers are wary of rising Chinese influence within the BRICS framework—particularly via yuan-settled trade and the New Development Bank.

The Reality of Global Trade Flows

While the dollar still accounts for 54% of international trade, the landscape is shifting. Over 50 nations now conduct trade in yuan, rupees, and rubles, signaling a global trend toward currency diversification—even if the U.S. dollar remains dominant.

India’s approach aligns with gradual diversification, not a wholesale monetary revolution. Rather than pushing for a BRICS currency or direct confrontation with the dollar, Indian officials are opting for “practical collaboration”—focusing on bilateral and multilateral trade mechanisms that reduce visible dollar dependence while maintaining Western financial and technological ties.

Conclusion: India Balances Between East and West

India’s position within the BRICS de-dollarization dialogue reflects the complex geopolitics of the global economy. While aligned with BRICS in diversifying global finance, India remains strategically committed to economic pragmatism, carefully navigating between Trump-era tariff threats, Western capital inflows, and China’s growing influence.

India's message is clear: It supports a more balanced global monetary system, but not at the cost of financial stability or strategic autonomy.

India Confirms BRICS De-Dollarization Efforts Despite Trump’s Pressure

• India acknowledges that BRICS nations are actively exploring alternatives to the U.S. dollar for cross-border trade and settlement.
• Despite Trump's 10% tariff threats, discussions on local currency usage and interoperable BRICS payment systems continue.
• India walks a diplomatic tightrope—welcoming diversified monetary systems while rejecting a BRICS common currency.

India Confirms Currency Shift Talks Underway

India has formally confirmed that BRICS nations are advancing talks on mutual trade settlements using local currencies and interoperable cross-border payment systems—initiatives seen by many as stepping stones toward de-dollarization. Officials say these discussions are progressing despite strong opposition and tariff threats from the United States under President Trump.

At a recent press briefing, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal explained:

“We had a highly successful BRICS summit… In the joint statement, there are several aspects that have been fleshed out that strengthen the BRICS platform… Cross-border payments, yes, BRICS have talked about local currencies, but de-dollarisation is not something that is there on the agenda.”

This clarification shows India’s nuanced position: While it supports greater monetary autonomy for BRICS countries, it resists the idea of completely replacing the U.S. dollar or launching a common BRICS currency—at least for now.

Trump’s Threats Complicate BRICS Coordination

The Trump administration’s renewed tariff threats have escalated tensions within the BRICS alliance. President Trump recently warned of 10% tariffs on nations engaging in policies aimed at reducing dependence on the U.S. dollar.

The comments came shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed the creation of a new BRICS investment platform—an initiative seen as a vehicle for financial independence.

Trump called such actions “anti-American”, and pledged steep economic penalties on countries adopting them.

India’s Strategic Position: Realism Over Revolution

India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar offered a cautious counterpoint:

“India has never been for de-dollarization. Right now, there is no proposal to have a BRICS currency.”

While India has experimented with rupee-based trade settlements—particularly with sanctioned nations like Russia—the volatility of the rupee and its depreciation (from ₹73 to ₹85 per USD over the past five years) makes a larger move toward de-dollarization risky. India’s leadership is deeply aware that currency instability, Western capital dependencies, and technological reliance make total decoupling from the dollar unfeasible in the near term.

Moreover, policymakers are wary of rising Chinese influence within the BRICS framework—particularly via yuan-settled trade and the New Development Bank.

The Reality of Global Trade Flows

While the dollar still accounts for 54% of international trade, the landscape is shifting. Over 50 nations now conduct trade in yuan, rupees, and rubles, signaling a global trend toward currency diversification—even if the U.S. dollar remains dominant.

India’s approach aligns with gradual diversification, not a wholesale monetary revolution. Rather than pushing for a BRICS currency or direct confrontation with the dollar, Indian officials are opting for “practical collaboration”—focusing on bilateral and multilateral trade mechanisms that reduce visible dollar dependence while maintaining Western financial and technological ties.

Conclusion: India Balances Between East and West

India’s position within the BRICS de-dollarization dialogue reflects the complex geopolitics of the global economy. While aligned with BRICS in diversifying global finance, India remains strategically committed to economic pragmatism, carefully navigating between Trump-era tariff threats, Western capital inflows, and China’s growing influence.

India's message is clear: It supports a more balanced global monetary system, but not at the cost of financial stability or strategic autonomy.

The Treasury’s Plan to Take Control of the Federal Reserve

The Treasury’s Plan to Take Control of the Federal Reserve

Heresy Financial:  7-24-2025

A recent analysis by Heresy Financial sheds light on a critical, often opaque, shift occurring within the U.S. economic landscape: the escalating pressure on the Federal Reserve and the potential erosion of its long-held independence.

 The discussion centers on how the Fed’s traditional role is being reshaped by the U.S. government’s burgeoning fiscal policy and massive debt obligations.

While the Fed is officially tasked with three key mandates – achieving maximum employment, maintaining stable prices, and ensuring moderate long-term interest rates – the Heresy Financial analysis suggests these mandates ultimately serve a broader, less discussed purpose: facilitating government spending.

By enabling higher tax revenue through economic activity, managing inflation at a tolerable level, and keeping government borrowing costs affordable, the Fed indirectly yet powerfully supports the Treasury’s fiscal ambitions.

This inherent tension is now at a critical juncture. Currently, the Fed is engaged in quantitative tightening (QT) and maintaining relatively high interest rates, aiming to rein in persistent inflation and mitigate mounting government debt risks.

This hawkish stance, however, directly conflicts with the current administration’s urgent desire for cheaper borrowing to finance its expansive spending. The consequence? Deteriorating liquidity in the government bond market and increasing political pressure on the Fed, with whispers of calls for closer coordination or even direct Treasury control.

Heresy Financial points to historical precedent as a chilling harbinger. Following World War II, the Fed and Treasury entered into a remarkable “accord” involving “yield curve control.” Under this policy, the Fed committed to buying unlimited government bonds to peg long-term interest rates at artificially low levels.

 This effectively allowed the government to borrow vast sums cheaply and inflate away its massive war debt over decades, though the public bore the brunt of the resulting inflationary consequences.

The analysis warns that the U.S. is now entering a strikingly similar phase of the long-term debt cycle. It predicts that the government will likely resort to comparable tactics – renewed yield curve control and tighter Fed-Treasury coordination – to manage its overwhelming debt burden.

 The anticipated fallout includes rampant inflation, significant asset price booms, and a continued wealth transfer. This transfer will disproportionately benefit the politically connected and existing asset holders, while wage earners and savers, whose purchasing power erodes, will bear the cost.

In light of these sobering projections, Heresy Financial advises viewers to prepare for this impending economic transition. The recommendation is to diversify assets into inflation hedges like gold and Bitcoin, alongside well-allocated index funds, as a strategy to protect existing wealth and potentially profit from the shifting landscape.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Fri. 25 July 2025

Compiled Fri. 25 July 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Global Currency Reset:

Judy Note: It is my personal opinion that even though the below video quotes from the Iraqi Gazette, the narrator makes some assumptions that may or may not be true.

It is widely known that with the Global Currency Reset, Trump was (allegedly) in the process of shutting down the IRS and Federal Reserve. Therefore, the IRS could not (allegedly) collect taxes on your exchange.  

We have also been told that if you do not have a trust to put your money in after your exchange it would remain safe in the Quantum System until you can set one up if you so care to do so.

Again, it would be wise to exchange by calling the 800 number when it is released to make an appointment at an official Redemption Center (which could (allegedly) give you higher exchange rates including the Contract Rate on the Dinar) rather than exchanging at a bank.

Tues. 22 July 2025 5:03 pm President Trump: “The reset has begun.” Thurs. 24 July 2025: JUST IN: Trump’s Executive Orders Set NESARA in Motion: Launching the Transition to Greatness and the Global Currency Reset (GCR)! – amg-news.com – American Media Group

On Wed. 23 July 2025 Iraqi Gazette Published Tier4b Exchange Process as per Decisions of the Iraqi Parliament: Tier 4B Exchange Process REVEALED! Step-by-Step from July 2025 Iraqi Gazette Iraq’s official newspaper, the Iraqi Gazette, published last Tues. that notification for appointments for Tier4b (allegedly) begins Tues. 29 July 2025. Exchanges for Tier4b begins Fri. 1 Aug. 2025 and goes through Fri. 15 Aug. 2025. Exchanges need to be done by Fri. 15 Aug. 2025.

Mon. 28 July 2025: “I’m feeling very confident that from the information I have received from groups, that we will wrap this up by Mon. 28 July.”…MarkZ

“On Fri. 1 Aug. you’re gonna get a lot of payments. You’re gonna be very happy. If you’re a citizen of this country, you’re gonna be getting a lot of money.” …President Trump

Thurs. 24 July 2025 Bruce: Notifications for Tier4b should go out to set appointments Mon. 28 July or Tues. 29 July and then appointments would begin the next day. Iraq to bring out a Dinar new rate on Sun. 27 July that will be on the Forex by Mon. 28 July.  DOGE payments to come out by direct deposit Aug. 1,2,3. R&R will be in our Quantum accounts when we open them at our redemption appointments. Increases in Social Security will come out in August. Information on NESARA including changes in income tax will come out sometime between the first week in August and the end of November.

Thurs. 24 July 2025: ALERT: U.S. Debt Clock Quietly Reveals the End of the Federal Reserve System – A New Sovereign Treasury Dollar Is Coming to Destroy 100 Years of Economic Slavery – amg-news.com – American Media Group

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

PHASE TWO HAS BEGUN — TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER TO (Allegedly) PERMANENTLY DISMANTLE THE IRS AND LAUNCH GOLD-BACKED CURRENCY PILOT THROUGH U.S. TREASURY … on Telegram

Just days after ripping $600 billion from the hands of the globalist tax cartel, President Trump has dropped the second hammer: a sweeping Executive Order to(allegedly)  initiate the shutdown of the Internal Revenue Service as we know it — and replace it with a sovereign, asset-backed monetary system under full constitutional control.

Effective immediately, the IRS is(allegedly)   being stripped of its enforcement arms, foreign contracts, and offshore data routing infrastructure. Their legal immunity? (allegedly)  Gone. Their backdoor ties to the World Bank and BIS? (allegedly)  Cut. The agency once used to audit patriots, blackmail dissidents, and fund wars without consent is now being (allegedly)  gutted from the inside. And this time, there’s no recovery plan.

At the heart of this new order is Patriot Coin — the codename for the gold-pegged transitional asset system being deployed under a secret joint operation between the U.S. Treasury and Space Force cyber teams. According to White Hat sources, this digital infrastructure(allegedly)   runs on quantum-encrypted channels, fully sovereign, completely offline from the SWIFT network, and resistant to IMF interference. The coin is(allegedly)   backed by audited reserves held at strategic vault sites recently repatriated from London, Basel, and Hong Kong.

But this isn’t crypto. This is anti-FED tech — tethered to tangible American resources, minted by a restored Treasury, and governed by GESARA protocols. The goal? To eliminate fractional lending, interest slavery, and globalist banking dependency in one synchronized move.

Already, global markets are rattling. The ECB issued a Level 3 alert. The World Bank called for an emergency meeting. And the Rothschild family has reportedly begun liquidating foreign real estate in Zurich, Monaco, and South Africa. They know what’s coming. They always knew. But they never expected it would move this fast.

Meanwhile, across America, thousands of dormant gold and silver mines are being reopened under nationalized contracts, designed to sustain the upcoming hard currency transition. Trump’s team is coordinating with BRICS-aligned economists to ensure that PatriotCoin remains independent but interoperable with global de-dollarization movements — bypassing SWIFT and shutting the door on CBDC tyranny.

When the Green Button is finally pushed, it won’t just trigger Med Beds — it will(allegedly)   unlock Treasury Wallets for every citizen under GESARA compliance. Direct credits. Debt cancellation. Real time transfers, validated by biometric ID and stored on military-grade quantum servers.

The trap was always economic. The war was always spiritual. But the takedown is now fully kinetic.

IRS dismantled. Federal Reserve under seizure. Gold-backed currency underway.

This is not a drill. This is the Return of the Republic — and the final death of globalist finance.

The Great Reversal has begun

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Morning 7-25-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Trump Visits the Federal Reserve, Calls for Aggressive Rate Cuts: “We Should Be Like Switzerland”

President Donald Trump reignited pressure on the Federal Reserve this week, calling for a dramatic 300 basis point interest rate cut during a high-profile visit to the Fed's Washington headquarters. Though officially scheduled to review ongoing renovations, the visit quickly became a platform for renewed criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell—and a flashpoint in the ongoing political pressure on monetary policy.

Trump Pushes for Radical Cuts: “Rocket Fuel” for the Economy

During his remarks, Trump said the U.S. should emulate Switzerland’s near-zero interest rates, calling the current federal funds rate—between 4.25% and 4.5%—“far too high.”

“We should be like Switzerland. A 300-basis-point cut would be rocket fuel for this economy,” Trump declared, citing easing inflation and a resilient job market as justification for immediate rate relief.

Trump's statements come as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) prepares for its next policy meeting on July 29–30, and as Europe begins its own series of rate cuts.

Growing Divide Inside the Fed

For the first time in nearly three decades, two Federal Reserve governors—Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller—are expected to break with consensus and vote for a rate cut. Their dissent signals growing internal disagreement at the central bank, and gives additional weight to Trump's calls for monetary easing.

Fed Chair Powell, however, continues to signal caution. According to CME FedWatch, markets currently price in just a 2.6% probability of a cut in July, suggesting the Fed remains focused on seeing further declines in inflation before acting.

Fed Officials Offer Mixed Signals

While the majority of Fed officials remain cautious, some are adopting a more dovish tone. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly downplayed the inflationary impact of Trump’s tariffs and said two rate cuts in 2025 are still “on the table.”

This mixed messaging reflects deeper uncertainty inside the Fed, as policymakers weigh persistent inflation risks against slowing global growth.

Fed Independence Under Fire

Trump’s direct pressure on Powell has triggered warnings from economists and former central bankers, who argue it could undermine the independence of the Federal Reserve. According to a recent Wall Street Journal analysis, sustained political interference could lead to higher long-term bond yields—ironically driving borrowing costs higher, not lower.

Powell Faces Mounting Legal and Political Scrutiny

Adding fuel to the controversy, Powell is now facing legal scrutiny over the costs of the Fed’s ongoing renovation project. A criminal referral from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to the Department of Justice has amplified questions over central bank spending.

Though Trump stated during his visit that he has “no current plans to fire Powell,” the political spotlight is clearly intensifying. Analysts believe Powell may ultimately be forced to move on rates before year-end to avoid further conflict and retain institutional credibility.

Outlook: A Volatile Balance Between Politics and Policy

As the July FOMC meeting approaches, the stakes are rising. While the Fed remains reluctant to act under political duress, internal dissent, public pressure, and shifting market expectations could accelerate its timetable.

With Trump positioning himself as a champion of growth via aggressive monetary easing, the independence—and future direction—of U.S. interest rate policy is entering uncharted political territory.

GENIUS Act Sparks $4 Billion Stablecoin Surge as Institutions Jump In

The passage of the GENIUS Act is already transforming the digital asset landscape—driving a sharp $4 billion increase in stablecoin supply and opening the floodgates for banks and asset managers.

Just a week after President Trump signed the landmark bill into law, the stablecoin market cap soared to over $264 billion, with new issuers, products, and investment flows reshaping the competitive landscape of regulated crypto finance.

Regulatory Clarity Unlocks Capital

The GENIUS Act delivers long-awaited regulatory certainty for fiat-backed stablecoins—tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by cash or near-cash equivalents.

With the SEC now sidelined from issuing enforcement actions against compliant issuers, institutional players are moving quickly to launch federally recognized stablecoin products in a market that has, until now, operated in legal gray zones.

“This is exactly the kind of signal capital markets needed—clear, rules-based guidance,” one fintech lawyer told Cointelegraph. “It levels the field and invites participation from legacy finance.”

Understanding the Stablecoin Landscape

Not all stablecoins are alike. The market comprises four main categories, each with different mechanisms for achieving price stability:

• Fiat-Backed: Pegged 1:1 to currencies like the U.S. dollar, backed by cash or U.S. Treasurys. These make up 85% of the stablecoin market and are the primary focus of the GENIUS Act.

• Leading examples: USDT (Tether) and USDC (Circle), with a combined market cap over $227 billion.

• New law mandates: Full reserve backing, third-party audits, and proper licensing.

• Crypto-Backed: Overcollateralized with crypto assets like ETH or tokenized BTC.

• Example: DAI, with a market cap of ~$4.35 billion.

• Algorithmic: Maintain peg through smart contract supply controls.

• Notable failure: Terra (UST) collapse.

• Status: Sidelined under GENIUS; expected to be addressed in separate legislation.

• Commodity-Backed: Pegged to assets like gold.

• Example: PAXG (Pax Gold). Adoption remains low due to liquidity and custodial challenges.

Institutional Adoption Accelerates Post-Legislation

Since July 18, when the GENIUS Act became law, major institutions have rushed into the stablecoin sector:

• Anchorage Digital, the only federally chartered crypto bank, launched a stablecoin issuance platform in partnership with Ethena Labs, bringing USDtb stablecoin onshore under new federal standards.

• WisdomTree, a major Wall Street asset manager, debuted USDW, a dividend-paying dollar-backed stablecoin designed to support tokenized asset strategies. The firm becomes one of the first traditional asset managers to fully comply with the GENIUS framework.

• Wall Street Signals Readiness

Traditional banking heavyweights are also laying the groundwork:

• Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan confirmed the bank is actively exploring a stablecoin issuance, contingent on full regulatory alignment under the GENIUS Act.

• JPMorgan and Citigroup have also signaled intentions to enter the stablecoin market, adding weight to the idea that dollar-backed digital currencies are now entering a mainstream compliance regime.

A New Era for U.S. Stablecoins

The GENIUS Act appears to be delivering on its promise: creating a legal foundation for stablecoin innovation without stifling enforcement fears. With regulated entry paths now open, experts expect:

• More compliant issuers,

• Accelerated adoption of tokenized assets, and

• A surge in competition among banks, fintechs, and asset managers seeking to dominate the stablecoin space.

As traditional finance merges with crypto infrastructure, the GENIUS Act may go down as the inflection point for mass institutional adoption of regulated digital dollars.

XRP Quietly Gains Ground on Nasdaq as Institutional Adoption Surges

Once sidelined by legal uncertainty, XRP is now becoming an institutional asset—securing exposure across Nasdaq’s ecosystem and appearing in structured financial products, ETFs, and corporate treasuries.

Thanks to regulatory clarity and growing confidence in Ripple’s infrastructure, XRP has moved from the margins of finance to the heart of Nasdaq’s digital asset playbook.

A Break from the Past: XRP Emerges from the Legal Shadows

For years, Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC cast a long shadow over XRP, effectively freezing out institutional investors and stalling its integration into regulated markets.

The lack of clarity stymied access to essential financial infrastructure:

• No futures ETFs

• No Nasdaq index listings

• No corporate treasury mandates

But 2025 has changed the game.

With new legal frameworks in place and Ripple’s victory over the SEC behind it, XRP is seeing a rapid institutional pivot, with eight major developments linking it directly to Nasdaq in just two months.

Key Institutional Milestones: XRP’s Nasdaq Footprint Expands

The transformation began in earnest on May 23, when Volatility Shares launched two XRP-focused futures ETFs—XRPI and XRPT—on Nasdaq:

• XRPI allocates at least 80% of its assets to XRP futures, granting traders regulated exposure to XRP’s price movements.

• This marked the first XRP futures ETF to debut on a major U.S. exchange—an institutional milestone once thought unlikely.

From there, the momentum snowballed:

• May 28: ZK International (NASDAQ: ZKIN) issues XRP-linked warrants, creating a structured financial product tied directly to XRP.

• June 3: VivoPower International (NASDAQ: VVPR) raises $121 million, allocating $100 million into XRP via the Flare network. The strategy aims to:

• Enhance blockchain-based treasury operations

• Support the XRPL DeFi ecosystem

• Reduce corporate debt

• June 5: Webus International (NASDAQ: WETO) launches a $300 million XRP treasury mandate with an additional $100 million equity line, confirming growing corporate confidence in XRP as a strategic asset.

• June 12: XRP is added to the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index, placing it alongside top-tier digital assets used by institutions for pricing and settlement.

• On the same day, Trident Digital Tech Holdings (NASDAQ: TDTH) unveils a $500 million XRP treasury strategy. Plans include:

• Funding via equity issuance, structured finance, and private placements

• Staking protocols to earn yield on XRP reserves

June 18: Nature’s Miracle Holding (NASDAQ: NMHI) receives SEC approval for a $20 million XRP treasury program.

• June 20: Worksport joins the trend, announcing XRP purchases as part of its crypto treasury diversification strategy.

Muted Price, But Rising Institutional Confidence

Despite this flurry of activity, XRP’s price has not yet reflected the institutional buildup:

• Current price: $3.09

• Down 0.42% over the past 24 hours

• Down 10.09% over the past week

Analysts say the market is still adjusting to the macroeconomic backdrop, even as institutional trust in XRP solidifies.

Conclusion: From “Crypto Outlaw” to Wall Street Asset

What was once a regulatory risk is now becoming a Wall Street instrument.

XRP’s integration into Nasdaq’s ecosystem marks a new chapter—not just for Ripple, but for regulated crypto adoption across the board. From ETFs to indexes to corporate treasuries, XRP is laying down roots in the same financial territory once reserved for legacy assets.

If current momentum continues, XRP may soon stand as a benchmark for what successful regulatory integration looks like in the next era of crypto-finance.

“Tidbits From TNT” Friday Morning 7-25-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Al-Ziyadi: The government is either unable or deliberately obstructing the submission of the 2025 budget schedules.

MP Mohammed Al-Ziyadi accused the government on Thursday of being unable or deliberately delaying the sending of the 2025 budget tables to the House of Representatives, which led to a paralysis in the provision of services to citizens.

Al-Ziyadi said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, "The government is either unable or is creating obstruction by not sending the approved budget tables to the House of Representatives," adding that "all local governments today are unable to provide services to their people due to the absence of a budget and the failure to approve its tables.

" He called on "the Prime Minister to assume responsibility and send the budget tables to Parliament as soon as possible, stressing that "the ball is now in the Prime Minister's court, and his government must act quickly so that citizens can see the services they deserve."

It is noteworthy that the House of Representatives had previously hosted the Minister of Finance to discuss the budget tables and the reasons for the delay in sending them.   link

************

Tishwash: Parliamentary Finance: Current revenues are sufficient to cover the salaries of central and regional employees and retirees.

Parliamentary Committee Chairman MP Atwan Al-Atwani stated, "There is still no real ceiling for the budget deficit. This is because expenditures and revenues have yet to be studied to determine the overall budget deficit ceiling."

Al-Atwani explained in a statement (published by Al-Masry today, Thursday 7/24/2025), that “the Ministry of Finance, along with other ministries, is currently working on solutions after adding stalled projects and projects to relieve bottlenecks, to indicate the new obligations included in the 2025 budget.”

He explained that "Iraqi oil sales on the global market are currently sufficient to cover the salaries of employees and retirees, but the irregular flow of cash may cause delays in paying those salaries," noting that "current revenues are sufficient to cover the salaries of all employees and retirees in the central government and the Kurdistan Region."

The head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee reiterated that "employee rights are fully protected and secured, and that once the budget schedules are approved, bonuses and promotions will be issued and will take effect from the date of issuance of the relevant orders."

The Parliamentary Finance Committee settled the controversy surrounding the budget deficit ceiling reaching approximately 83 trillion dinars, while reassuring employees and Parliamentary Committee Chairman MP Atwan Al-Atwani stated, "There is still no real ceiling for the budget deficit. This is because expenditures and revenues have yet to be studied to determine the overall budget deficit ceiling."

Al-Atwani explained in a statement (published by Al-Masry today, Thursday 7/24/2025), that “the Ministry of Finance, along with other ministries, is currently working on solutions after adding stalled projects and projects to relieve bottlenecks, to indicate the new obligations included in the 2025 budget.   link

Tishwash:  Worth $100 billion: Iraq's "mysterious wealth" on three continents revealed

The British website " Amwaj " reported on Thursday that Iraq is facing major challenges and complications in recovering "lost properties" in Asian, African and  European countries, estimated at a value of approximately $100 billion. It confirmed that these properties include palaces and villas located in France, Italy, Spain and Britain, "tea, rubber and tobacco" plantations in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, an oil refinery in Somalia, in addition to agricultural lands in Nigeria and Yemen .

The website indicated in a report translated by Shafaq News Agency that "the Iraqi parliament's Foreign Relations Committee launched an initiative in June to recover billions of dollars in state assets believed to be scattered across Africa, Asia, and Europe. This move came just weeks after Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud informed his Iraqi hosts during the recent Arab Summit that an oil refinery built by the Iraqis outside Mogadishu in 1974 was still intact, but had long been neglected ."

According to the report, "The news of the neglected oil facility prompted Iraq to deeply reevaluate its efforts to access the country's long-neglected foreign assets. During the global oil boom, and after Baghdad nationalized its oil industry in 1972, Iraq made a wide range of acquisitions and investments, including luxury real estate in Europe, farms in Asia, refineries in Africa, and other projects aimed at expanding Iraq's economic influence, diversifying its resources, and strengthening diplomatic relations under the rule of former President Saddam Hussein ."

The report continued, "After the imposition of international sanctions in the 1990s, many of these assets were suddenly frozen, and the situation became more opaque after a large portion of these assets disappeared from Iraqi records following the 2003 invasion. Stolen archives, destroyed documents, and fraudulent transfers to private entities created a legal ambiguity surrounding these assets ."

He pointed out that "efforts to recover these properties and assets began in the mid-2000s, with more than $2.5 billion in frozen funds likely recovered, but physical assets have been largely ignored." He explained that "there is speculation that many properties have been sold illegally, while others appear to have been neglected or fallen under the control of other individuals or entities, sometimes even armed groups ."

The report noted that "in many cases, the Iraqi state is no longer aware of these assets, leading to what lawmakers and local media have dubbed 'forgotten wealth.'" In 2021, the Parliamentary Integrity Committee estimated that up to $240 billion in public funds, including foreign assets, had been smuggled abroad or even embezzled .

He noted that "Iraqi lawmakers now estimate that at least 50 major assets abroad remain unaccounted for, believed to be worth between $80 and $90 billion, although some estimates put the value at as high as $100 billion." He added that "the news of the Iraqi oil refinery near Mogadishu has raised concerns among Iraqi lawmakers about the need to do more to address the state's neglected assets abroad. The House of Representatives has also called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take urgent steps to identify and recover foreign assets and investments ."

The report added, "While a special parliamentary investigation committee was formed to follow up on the issue and coordinate with relevant ministries, the Iraqi government launched a global search campaign and tasked a group of government agencies with verifying ownership, addressing legal obstacles, and facilitating its recovery. Meanwhile, the authorities launched a project to map historical assets to rebuild Iraq's foreign portfolio, drawing on embassy records and the expertise of retired diplomats. The ultimate goal of these steps is to prepare a comprehensive master list of state assets and direct diplomatic and legal efforts to recover them ."

He pointed to "major obstacles, including property disputes, as legal ownership documents may become ambiguous over time, or the occurrence of illegal sales, which will force Iraqi authorities to provide conclusive evidence for their cases before foreign courts," adding that "the situation has become more complicated with the loss or theft of original documents after the collapse of the regime in 2003. "

The report stated that "nullifying some unauthorized transactions may require lengthy legal battles. Iraq does not guarantee diplomatic cooperation from host countries, as some governments are believed to have shown reluctance or slowness in providing assistance. There are also complications related to the fact that some armed groups or informal settlers have occupied properties in the area," calling on Iraqi authorities to "press hard to regain control of foreign assets ."

“With federal government revenues estimated at 147.8 trillion Iraqi dinars ($123.2 billion) in 2024, more than 90% of which are oil revenues, recovering 10% of this lost wealth abroad could help bolster Iraq’s public budgets,” she explained. “This issue will test the seriousness of ongoing efforts in the coming months. If successful, Iraq will have succeeded in diversifying the economy and strengthening public confidence in governance. It will also signal a broader shift in how Iraq confronts its long and ongoing legacy of corruption and mismanagement link

$15,000 Gold Instantly! The Big Gold Revaluation Will SHOCK the World

$15,000 Gold Instantly! The Big Gold Revaluation Will SHOCK the World - Craig Hemke & Clive Thompson

Money Sense:  7-24-2025

Global financial experts Craig Hemke and Clive Thompson discuss the recent surge in precious metals and the growing speculation surrounding a potential gold revaluation.

Clive Thompson suggests gold could be revalued to 15,000 dollars, which would likely send silver prices soaring even more.

Thompson says revaluing gold to 15,000 dollars could raise 3.9 trillion dollars, 10% of US debt, without causing retail inflation. According to him, the new money would likely flow into assets like gold, stocks, and Bitcoin.

Three years ago, in May 2022, the Congressional Budget Office forecasted that by 2025, the interest cost of the National debt would rise from 8.3% of government receipts to 12.1%, a nearly 50% increase.

In fact, the actual figures are turning out much worse than the CBO's forecast.

In 1934, the Treasury realised a 2.8 billion dollars profit by revaluing gold. Once again, the same financial sleight of hand is under consideration, but this time on a much grander scale.

 In his outlook, Craig Hemke notes growing talk of gold revaluation, citing symbolic hints like a gold-themed White House post. He recalls Trump's past remarks about potentially remonetizing the US balance sheet by revaluing its official gold reserves.

Concurrently, Hemke compares gold revaluation to the "platinum coin" idea, saying it matters only if the US buys at the new price. If that happened, Thompson suggests this could let the US outpace China in gold reserves.

According to OCC Quarterly Reports, the Federal Reserve system holds over 54 billion dollars in non-compliant gold derivative contracts that would need to be unwound or properly collateralized under full Basel III implementation.

 Market expert Craig Hemke notes that freezing Russia's reserves and removing it from SWIFT prompted the BRICS to seek alternatives, fearing a similar action. He notes that this move has weakened global trust in the dollar as supply continues to rise.

Clive Thompson adds that US allies fear becoming "enemies overnight" amid Trump's trade accusations. This uncertainty is prompting nations to reduce reliance on the US dollar.

BRICS nations have been particularly aggressive in building gold reserves, with unofficial estimates suggesting that China alone may hold as much as 35,000 tons of gold within state-controlled banks, far exceeding their officially reported 2,292 tons.

 Similarly, Russia's true holdings are estimated to be closer to 12,000 tons rather than their officially reported 2,330 tons.
