Tishwash:  A US delegation visits Baghdad to discuss a number of issues. Withdrawal is on the table. 

A high-level US delegation is scheduled to visit the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, in the coming days to discuss a range of issues with Iraqi officials.

According to an informed source who spoke to Shafaq News Agency, the delegation will discuss the US withdrawal from its main bases in Iraq and its repercussions, in addition to an economic file and another related to energy.

The US delegation is also scheduled to visit the Kurdistan Region, according to the source, to discuss several issues, including the repercussions of the recent events in Sulaymaniyah.

Relations between the United States and Iraq have been at a diplomatic standstill since Donald Trump took office. Communication and meetings have been limited to the Chargé d'Affaires of the US Embassy in Baghdad, Stephen Fagin, and a single call received by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani from Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

This comes as the first phase of the US-led international coalition's withdrawal from Iraq has begun, with a US military convoy already departing Ain al-Asad base for Syria last Monday.

The schedule includes the withdrawal of international coalition forces from Ain al-Asad base and Baghdad by the end of September 2025, with a portion of them being transferred to Erbil and Kuwait. Meanwhile, the number of troops will gradually decrease from approximately 2,000 to less than 500 in Erbil.  link

Tishwash:  US delegation to visit Iraq as troop withdrawal advances

A senior US delegation is due in Baghdad in the coming days for talks on the withdrawal of American forces as well as economic and energy issues, a source told Shafaq News on Saturday.

The group is also scheduled to travel to the Kurdistan Region to address several files, including the recent unrest in al-Sulaymaniyah, the source added.

The visit coincides with the start of the Global Coalition’s drawdown. Earlier this week, a US convoy left Ain al-Asad base for Syria, with full withdrawals from Ain al-Asad and Baghdad planned by the end of September 2025. The American troop presence will then shrink from around 2,000 to fewer than 500, concentrated mostly in Erbil.  link

Tishwash:  US Forces in Sudden Withdrawal from Ain al-Asad, Victory Bases in Iraq

US forces began a sudden, phased withdrawal from Ain al-Asad and Victory bases in Iraq on Sunday following an embassy order, a top Iraqi official told Kurdistan24. Some troops have been moved to Erbil. The full evacuation is expected within days.

as of 3:11 am PDT  

 American military forces have initiated a sudden withdrawal from the major Ain al-Asad and Victory Base Complex (VBC) in Iraq, a high-level source within the Iraqi government told Kurdistan24 exclusively on Sunday.

The withdrawal began this morning following what the source described as an order issued by the American Embassy in Baghdad.

According to the source, the withdrawal is being conducted in phases. A portion of the American soldiers departed from both bases this morning, with a complete evacuation of the two sites expected to be finalized within the next few days.

The source stated that the Ain al-Asad base housed approximately 2,000 American soldiers, while Victory Base Complex (VBC), located within the perimeter of Baghdad International Airport, is occupied by an additional number of soldiers.

It was also indicated by the source that a portion of the military personnel who have withdrawn have been transferred to Erbil.  link

Tishwash:  Economist: Raising Iraq's Credit Rating Is Key to Attracting Investment and Reducing Borrowing Costs

 from telegram

Economic expert Ahmed Abd Rabbo stressed that improving Iraq's credit rating represents a pivotal step toward reducing sovereign loan interest and boosting foreign investor confidence. He noted that most international investments do not flow to a country unless its credit rating is satisfactory and high.

Abd Rabbo explained in an interview with ABC Arabic that raising a country's credit rating sends a positive signal to global financial institutions and contributes to increased investment. He noted that the Iraqi government, in coordination with the Central Bank, is moving toward reforming the banking system, considering it "the primary interface of the economy." A strong economy cannot be built without a banking system capable of meeting market and financing needs.

He added that improving the rating is not impossible, but it requires comprehensive practical steps, starting with diversifying sources of income and strengthening non-oil sectors such as agriculture, industry, and services, along with financial reforms that reduce the deficit and control public spending.

He stressed that political and security stability are essential pillars, as international financial institutions assess Iraq's ability to simultaneously repay and manage risks. This makes progress in combating corruption and enhancing financial transparency crucial factors in improving investor confidence.

Abd Rabbo explained that improving the credit rating has positive repercussions and enhances confidence in the national economy, which contributes to achieving broader monetary and financial stability and consolidates Iraq's position in the global financial system.

Jon Dowling Quick RV Updates 22nd August 2025 Latest Updates

Jon Dowling Quick RV Updates 22nd August 2025 Latest Updates

Chris Real World and Jon Dowling:  8-22-2025

The global economic and political landscape is a dynamic, ever-shifting puzzle. Staying abreast of the latest developments is crucial for anyone looking to understand where we’re headed.

Jon Dowling’s weekly RV Updates for August 22, 2025, deliver a crucial snapshot of a world in flux, highlighting significant movements in currency, precious metals, cryptocurrencies, and geopolitical tensions.

One of the most striking points from this week’s update is the intense focus on currency reforms, particularly in Iraq. Under reported pressure from President Trump, Iraq is making significant strides in reforming its currency issuance and bolstering its gold reserves. This move isn’t just about internal stability; it’s a strategic push toward greater international financial reform, signaling a broader shift in the global monetary system.

Closer to home, the Federal Reserve remains a central character in this unfolding drama. The report highlights the ongoing political pressure from the White House to lower interest rates to stimulate the economy. This pressure is so intense that it’s fueling discussions around Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s impending replacement. The anticipated interest rate cuts in September are not just a market expectation; they’re a political imperative with far-reaching consequences.

Adding another layer to this narrative, U.S. legislative efforts are also targeting the very fabric of financial governance. The report notes efforts to abolish property taxes in states like Texas and Tennessee, which are part of a broader, more ambitious agenda to diminish the Federal Reserve’s influence. This push for greater financial sovereignty at the state level reflects a growing discontent with centralized control and hints at fundamental changes to America’s economic architecture.

For those tracking digital assets, the volatile world of cryptocurrencies is currently experiencing a tactical downturn. This isn’t necessarily a sign of long-term weakness, but rather a reflection of profit-taking and short selling.

However, the report anticipates a robust bullish market run this fall, directly linking it to the expected interest rate cuts in September. Lower interest rates typically make riskier assets like cryptocurrencies more attractive, setting the stage for renewed enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, precious metals continue their quiet vigil. The update encourages investors to exercise patience, hinting that a confluence of factors is aligning to create significant shifts in this sector. While no specific timelines are given, the underlying message is clear: the foundational support for gold and silver continues to strengthen amidst global uncertainty.

On the geopolitical front, tensions continue to simmer, particularly concerning Iran. The U.S. has maintained a firm stance, imposing sanctions aimed at crippling Iranian oil revenue and disrupting its funding for terrorism. This ongoing pressure highlights the complex web of international relations and the persistent challenges posed by regional conflicts to global stability.

The economic implications of these sanctions, particularly on global energy markets, remain a critical watchpoint.

Jon Dowling’s August 22nd RV Updates paint a picture of a world undergoing profound changes. From the shifting sands of global currencies and central bank policies to the ebb and flow of digital assets, and the enduring allure of precious metals, coupled with persistent geopolitical pressures, the landscape is ripe for transformation.

While the report doesn’t offer specific timelines for these monumental economic shifts, the direction is unmistakable. The overarching message is one of patience and keen observation. As multiple factors align, understanding these intricate connections will be vital for navigating the opportunities and challenges ahead.

France Signals Support for India’s 2026 BRICS Presidency

French President Emmanuel Macron has pledged full support to India’s BRICS 2026 Presidency, signaling a possible breakthrough for European engagement with the bloc.

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

Macron and Modi’s Strategic Call

During a Thursday phone call, Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed:

• India’s BRICS 2026 Presidency and France’s willingness to support it.

• The Russia-Ukraine conflict, following former U.S. President Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

• Expanding France–India trade ties across multiple sovereignty-critical sectors.

Macron emphasized: “We agreed to work closely together in preparation for the French presidency of the G7 and India’s presidency of BRICS in 2026.”

Could France Attend the BRICS 2026 Summit?

• India will host the BRICS 2026 Summit, and speculation is rising that France may receive a formal invitation.

• France previously attempted to attend the 2023 BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, but its request was rejected, reportedly due to opposition from China and Russia.

• With India’s leadership, insiders believe the door may open for a European guest presence at BRICS for the first time.

West-East Realignment in Motion

The Macron–Modi call comes as global alliances shift:

• The U.S. has imposed tariffs on nearly all European allies, including France.

• These trade conflicts are nudging Europe closer to Asian partners.

• Even Australia is signaling cooperation, sending mixed signals to China about the balance of power.

France–India Partnership Strengthening

Macron reaffirmed France’s strategic commitment:

“We agreed to strengthen our economic exchanges and our strategic partnership in all areas — this is the key to our sovereignty and independence.”

If invited to attend the BRICS 2026 Summit, France would become the first European nation to participate—a symbolic step toward bridging East and West at a time of deep geopolitical fragmentation.

Tishwash: Mazhar Saleh: Iraq's foreign reserves provide exceptional stability for the national currency.

The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Friday that the Central Bank of Iraq enjoys substantial foreign reserves that represent the primary backing for the national currency. These reserves are managed within a diversified foreign currency investment portfolio in accordance with the highest standards of global banking efficiency and professionalism.

Saleh added in an interview with Al Furat News Agency that "the ability of these reserves to meet external demand for foreign currency for the purposes of financing import trade is one of the primary indicators of their efficiency," noting that "the global standard for financing trade from central bank reserves is three months' coverage, while Iraq has an exceptional capacity of up to twelve months."

He pointed out that "this level reflects a high degree of stability in the foreign exchange market, despite the temporary pressures on the current account of the balance of payments due to the relative contraction in oil prices," noting that oil revenues continue to constitute the main pillar in the formation and accumulation of these strategic reserves. 

Saleh explained that "the Central Bank largely controls the foreign exchange market by imposing an official exchange rate of 1,320 dinars per dollar for the dinar. This has contributed to keeping the annual inflation rate below 3%, which falls within what is known as the normal range for the general price level or the natural price break-up in the country."

He emphasized that this represents the highest levels of stability targeted by Iraqi monetary policy.   link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani discusses with Halliburton the development of Basra fields and the expansion of associated gas investment.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received a delegation from the American company Halliburton on Thursday, headed by Shannon Slocum. The two discussed ways to enhance cooperation in the oil and gas sector and develop Iraqi fields using the latest global technologies. The company affirmed its commitment to supporting national cadres and expanding its investments in Basra.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received today, Thursday, the President of the American oil and energy technology company Halliburton, Mr. Shannon Slocum, and his accompanying delegation.

Mr. Al-Sudani emphasized that the presence of major oil companies in Iraq reflects the government's commitment to the country's energy sector and its efforts to develop it according to modern international standards and through the best energy companies. He emphasized the government's vision for developing the oil and gas sectors and its commitment to ensuring that development takes place with the highest possible capabilities provided by advanced technology, as well as Iraq's continued expansion of its use of associated gas and the production of petroleum derivatives.

His Excellency pointed out the importance of expanding the scope of work with Halliburton, given its expertise and capabilities in the fields of extraction and refining, and its possession of modern global technologies. He affirmed his support for the company's work in developing the Nahr Bin Omar and Sindbad fields in Basra Governorate.

For his part, Mr. Slocum affirmed Halliburton's interest in operating in Iraq, given the country's progress across all sectors, its stability, and its openness to major international industrial companies. He explained that the company is committed to providing the latest technological developments for oil and gas fields, after finalizing the contract model.

He also stated that the company will employ modern administrative and technical methods in its work, and is committed to developing the skills of the Iraqi cadres working with it.  link

Tishwash:  A Second Term Hanging by a Thin Thread: Al-Sudani Swings Between Washington and Domestic Allies

Al-Masala: Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani faces an early test as he seeks a second term, amid intensifying US pressure to end the influence of armed factions. Meanwhile, these factions insist on remaining a strategic shield in the national security equation.

 The scene reveals a complex battle, where domestic considerations intersect with external dictates. The upcoming elections are becoming an indirect battleground for the struggle over the identity of the Iraqi state between the "government centralization" project and the "armed pluralism" project, which constitutes an extension of the post-2003 balance of power.

 A report by the American Soufan Institute indicates that the recent clashes in the Dora district of Baghdad have once again highlighted the duality of power between official state institutions and the centers of influence represented by the factions. This reflects the political system's inability to resolve the debate over who ultimately holds the sovereign decision.

 Observers believe that these factions are not merely military arms, but rather a deeply rooted social structure supported by a broad segment of the Shiite community, which still recalls the experience of ISIS's invasion of large swaths of Iraq in 2014 and the subsequent expansion of the factions as a rescue force in the face of an existential threat.

 Al-Sudani's government is trying to strike a balance between reassuring Washington and its regional partners that Iraq is capable of asserting its security sovereignty, while at the same time avoiding a rupture with the factions, which represent a political pillar within the Coordination Framework, their primary incubator. 

The approaching general elections in November require Al-Sudani to carefully consider his options. The continued fragile balance may give him additional time to regroup, but it also increases the risks if Washington decides to increase the pressure or if the factions choose to test their strength on the street.

For Al-Sudani, the battle for a second term appears to hinge on his ability to market himself as a man of possible consensus. However, he realizes that his image as a "statesman" versus a "factionalist" may determine his political future more than the ballot box.  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Fed Chair Powell Signals September Rate Cut, Warns on Inflation Risks

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech provided clarity for traders on U.S. monetary policy, confirming a likely September rate cut while warning about inflation risks. His remarks lifted both stock markets and crypto assets, even as he ruled out a long series of cuts.

A Likely Cut, But With Caution

Powell told the audience that U.S. monetary policy is already “in restrictive territory.”

• Risks around jobs and inflation are shifting.

• He acknowledged that “downside risks to employment are increasing” but stressed the labor market remains strong and the economy has shown resilience.

• For this reason, the Fed is not ready to commit to multiple cuts after September.

Tariffs Put Pressure on Prices

A central concern for Powell is the inflationary impact of tariffs.

• “The effects of tariffs on consumer prices are now clearly visible,” he said.

• The Fed expects these effects to accumulate over the coming months with high uncertainty.

• Powell cautioned that while some price pressures may be temporary, the risk of stagflation—high inflation combined with weaker growth—is real and something the Fed intends to avoid.

Fed Updates Its Playbook

Powell also announced a significant shift in the Fed’s operating framework.

• The central bank has dropped its 2020 “makeup strategy,” which allowed inflation to overshoot the 2% target.

• It has returned to a flexible inflation-targeting approach designed to keep long-term expectations anchored.

• “Our revised statement emphasizes our commitment to act forcefully to ensure that longer-term inflation expectations remain well-anchored,” Powell said.

This adjustment reflects changes in the U.S. economy over the past five years, including higher inflation pressures and major shifts in trade, tax, and immigration policy.

Market and Crypto Reaction

Markets reacted positively to Powell’s remarks.

• The Dow Jones surged more than 600 points, closing at a record high of 45,548.

• U.S.-listed crypto stocks climbed, as lower interest rate expectations tend to improve liquidity and risk appetite.

For digital assets, Powell’s cautious signal is key: while lower rates support crypto markets, the Fed’s guarded stance on inflation means the path ahead remains uncertain.

Fed Governor Waller: Embrace Blockchain and Payment Innovations

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller called on the central bank to embrace new technologies—including blockchain, stablecoins, and digital assets—arguing they are essential for the future of payments and U.S. dollar strength.

A Technology-Driven Revolution in Payments

Speaking at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium 2025, Waller said the U.S. payments system is undergoing a “technology-driven revolution” fueled by advances in computing power, data processing, and distributed networks.

While some remain skeptical of these changes, Waller stressed that the history of payments has always been defined by technological progress.

Stablecoins and the U.S. Dollar’s Global Role

Waller highlighted stablecoins as a particularly important innovation.

• They can support the international role of the U.S. dollar, ensuring it remains the anchor currency in global finance.

• Stablecoins also have the potential to improve both retail and cross-border payments, making transactions faster and more efficient.

“The technologies available today might be new, but leveraging innovative technology to build new payment services is not a new story,” Waller noted.

Fed and Private Sector Collaboration

According to Waller, the reliability of the U.S. payments system has historically come from partnerships between the Federal Reserve and private industry.

• The Fed should continue to embrace innovation to modernize its services.

• Stronger engagement with fintech innovators and the digital asset ecosystem will help ensure the U.S. financial system remains competitive and resilient.

“It is important for the Federal Reserve to continue to embrace technological advancements to modernize its services and continue to support private sector innovation… particularly as there is increased convergence between the traditional financial sector and the digital asset ecosystem.”

Ripple vs SEC Lawsuit Officially Ends After Appeals Dismissed

The nearly five-year legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially come to a close, as the Second Circuit Court dismissed both parties’ appeals.

Court Confirms Dismissal

According to a one-page filing shared by defense lawyer James K. Filan, the Second Circuit approved the joint stipulation by Ripple and the SEC to withdraw their appeals.

The order, signed by Clerk Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, was marked simply as “So Ordered”—effectively bringing one of the most high-profile cases in crypto history to an end.

Background on the Appeals

• In October 2024, the SEC appealed Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling that Ripple’s programmatic XRP sales and certain distributions were not investment contracts.

• Ripple, in turn, cross-appealed the part of the case it lost, challenging the decision that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws.

Judge Torres imposed a $125 million fine and a permanent injunction restricting Ripple from institutional XRP sales without SEC registration.

When a new pro-crypto administration took office in January, both Ripple and the SEC agreed to settle by reducing penalties and removing restrictions. However, Judge Torres denied the proposed revisions, leaving both parties to formally withdraw their appeals.

What the Final Judgment Means

• The lower court rulings remain intact, including Judge Torres’ finding that XRP itself is not a security.

• Ripple must pay the $125 million fine, already held in escrow, to the SEC.

• Future institutional XRP sales must be registered with the SEC to comply with securities laws.

Ripple and XRP Moving Forward

For investors, this closure removes one of the largest uncertainties hanging over XRP since the SEC’s lawsuit began in December 2020.

With the case resolved, XRP has rallied alongside the broader crypto market:

• Price: $3.03 (up 5.82% in the past 24 hours)

• Market Cap: $180.29 billion

This development secures Ripple’s legal position in the U.S. while allowing the company to focus on its global payments and stablecoin expansion strategy.

Ariel Iraq’s Dinar Eclipse, Gold’s Forbidden Surge Shatters the Global Veil of Deception

Ariel Iraq’s Dinar Eclipse, Gold’s Forbidden Surge Shatters the Global Veil of Deception

8:21-2025

Iraq’s Dinar Eclipse – Gold’s Forbidden Surge Shatters the Global Veil of Deception!

Good afternoon to you all. We are in a powerful month. I wanted to add more info to the last post but I didn’t want to make it longer then what it needed to be. As I think I got my point across. This post is a continuation of the last article.

On August 21, 2025, Iraqi state television broadcast footage of U.S. military convoys initiating a gradual withdrawal from Iraq toward Kuwait, marking the commencement of the first phase of troop relocation as per a September 2024 Baghdad-Washington accord to end the U.S.-led Global Coalition’s mission by September 2025.

This move involves relocating approximately 2,500 U.S. personnel from bases like Ain al-Asad and Baghdad to Kuwaiti facilities such as Camp Arifjan, under the guise of “regional security realignment,”.

In-house Pentagon memos was said to reveal it’s a calculated extraction tied to undisclosed financial concessions from Iraq, including accelerated oil revenue sharing and currency revaluation commitments.

Donald Trump’s longstanding ultimatum demanding repayment for U.S. expenditures in Iraq before full departure, estimated at over $2 trillion since 2003 looms large, with backchannel communications confirming that Iraq’s only viable payback mechanism is reinstating the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) on the international Forex market at a premium rate of 1:1 or higher against the USD, backed by Iraq’s 162+ tons of gold reserves and untapped hydrocarbon wealth.

This development, broadcast on channels like Al-Iraqiya with Arabic chyrons declaring “American forces begin transferring military equipment from Iraq to Kuwait,” aligns with CBI Governor Ali Al-Alaq’s high-fluidity currency conversions and post-Ripple-SEC crypto integrations, positioning IQD holders for explosive gains amid Kurdistan oil restarts and impending 2025 budget openings.

 Monumental in scope, this withdrawal isn’t mere logistics it’s the fulcrum for a global financial reset, where U.S. exit pacts force Iraq’s hand on revaluation to settle debts, unleashing trillions in hoarded value while exposing decades of occupation-era manipulations that drained Iraq’s sovereignty.

Digging into the withdrawal mechanics exposes a ruthless orchestration: The convoys captured on Iraqi TV, laden with MRAP vehicles and logistics gear under U.S. flags, aren’t fleeing chaos but executing Phase One of a bilateral agreement forged in late 2024, where Washington agreed to draw down 2,500 troops by September 2025, (https://thecradle.co/articles/washington-prepares-for-troop-withdrawal-from-baghdad-reportrelocating ) them to Kuwait as “reserve forces” for Middle East contingencies.

Blunt reality leaked CENTCOM dispatches show this isn’t voluntary goodwill; it’s leverage, with U.S. commanders conditioning the pullout on Iraq’s compliance with anti-I**S pacts and financial reparations, echoing Trump’s 2019 rants about seizing Iraqi oil to recoup invasion costs.

This ties directly to IQD revaluation, as shadowed Treasury briefs indicate Baghdad’s repayment blueprint hinges on elevating the dinar from its pegged 1,300 IQD/USD to a 1:1 parity, backed by surging gold values at $110 million per ton and oil exports resuming via Turkish pipelines post-July 2025 KRG deals.

Holders, brace hard this monumental exodus strips away U.S. military oversight that suppressed Iraq’s economic autonomy, forcing CBI to unleash Forex integration by Q4, where your stacks could multiply overnight in a blood-soaked payback scheme that flips the script on two decades of exploitation. https://www.reuters.com/world/coalition-military-mission-iraq-end-by-sept-2025-us-iraq-say-2024-09-27/

Trump’s repayment dogma isn’t rhetoric; it’s the iron fist driving this development, with unearthed Oval Office transcripts from 2025 revealing his administration’s “pay or stay” doctrine, demanding Iraq offset $2 trillion in U.S. war expenses through asset transfers or currency hikes before troops fully vacate.

Bold assertion: The Kuwait relocation framed as a “gradual transfer” on Iraqi broadcasts serves as a staging ground for potential re-entry if Baghdad reneges, but intercepted State Department cables confirm it’s the prelude to fiscal extraction, where IQD revaluation at 3:1 or higher becomes Iraq’s ransom for sovereignty.

This monumental pivot exposes the raw underbelly: U.S. forces, down to 2,500 from peaks of 170,000, have guarded elite oil cartels while stifling dinar strength; their exit, timed to CBI’s digital wallet penetrations at 40% and ISO-20022 compliances, unleashes a reval wave that could peg IQD to XRP efficiencies, rewarding holders with fortunes while dismantling petrodollar chains that bled Iraq dry since 2003.

The TV footage’s Arabic overlay “American forces begin transferring military equipment from Iraq to Kuwait” isn’t propaganda; it’s a veiled signal of impending economic liberation, with forensic analysis of the broadcast (via Al-Iraqiya and Shafaq News feeds) tying it to August 18 Basnews reports of Phase One commencement, relocating assets to Kuwait’s Camp Buehring for “enhanced regional posture.”

Intel drop: This monumental news masks deeper pacts, where U.S. withdrawal memos stipulate Iraq’s gold reserves up 4.76% in H1 2025 back a revalued dinar to settle debts, aligning with Trump’s crypto reserve builds that integrate XRP for cross-border settlements.

 Holders, this isn’t coincidence; it’s engineered expect Q4 Forex listings post-withdrawal, where 1:1 rates shatter black market distortions, exposing how U.S. occupation propped fiat manipulations that hoarded trillions in suppressed value, now primed for a big release.

Expounding on the financial nexus, this withdrawal development catapults IQD revaluation from speculation to inevitability, as unredacted IMF riders from July 2025 warn of reserve pressures unless dinar floats freely, backed by Kurdistan’s 230,000 bpd oil commitments and gold hikes to $12 billion valuations.

 Trump’s “get paid” mantra, reiterated in 2025 White House events, enforces this through covert accords, where Kuwait’s role as a U.S. hub ensures enforcement troops there can “monitor” Iraq’s compliance, but the real hammer is economic, forcing CBI’s high-fluidity conversions into full reval by December with fingers crossed.

This monumental shift unmasks the grotesque: Decades of U.S. presence enabled resource theft, with Halliburton-style contracts siphoning billions; now, as convoys roll out, Iraq’s payback via 3:1 dinar rates liberates holders, redefining global finance in a torrent of gold-backed vengeance that buries the occupation’s legacy in unfiltered prosperity.

Currency Wars: BRICS SWIFT Alternative vs. U.S. GENIUS Act Stablecoin Strategy

The global financial order is entering a new phase of intense competition. On one side, BRICS nations are building a SWIFT alternative designed to bypass Western-controlled payment systems. On the other, the United States is advancing the GENIUS Act, which cements the role of USD-backed stablecoins in international finance.

Together, these initiatives mark a historic confrontation over the future of payments, trade, and monetary dominance.

BRICS SWIFT Alternative: The Push for De-Dollarization

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, leaders formally unveiled plans for a new cross-border payment system. This initiative is framed as a direct alternative to SWIFT and represents the most serious challenge yet to U.S. financial dominance.

Key features of the BRICS system include:

• Integration of Russia’s SPFS, China’s CIPS, and India’s UPI networks

• A decentralized messaging framework capable of processing 20,000 transactions per second

• No mandatory transaction fees and flexible currency conversion options

The BRICS plan is rooted in the need for financial independence. U.S. sanctions, particularly on Russia, have accelerated efforts to create a parallel system free of Western influence. If successful, the BRICS payment system could reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar in global trade.

The U.S. GENIUS Act: Securing Digital-Dollar Supremacy

In sharp contrast, the United States is working to fortify its currency dominance through the GENIUS Act (Guaranteeing Emergency National Infrastructure for USD Stablecoins).

The GENIUS Act establishes:

• Strict regulations for stablecoin issuers

• A requirement for full USD-backed reserves

• A framework to make regulated stablecoins the global standard

With stablecoin circulation surpassing $266 billion, the U.S. strategy effectively digitizes dollar dominance. By anchoring the global digital economy to tokenized dollars, the U.S. ensures its currency remains the foundation of international liquidity, settlement, and trust.

Competing Strategies: East vs. West

• BRICS Strategy: Build an alternative network to reduce reliance on the dollar and escape U.S. leverage over payments.

• U.S. Strategy: Strengthen dollar dominance by embedding USD-backed stablecoins into global trade.

Both strategies address the same reality: the future of money is digital. The difference lies in whether that future will be multipolar or dollar-centric.

Outlook: Parallel Payment Systems Ahead

The competition between BRICS and the United States could shape the monetary order for decades to come:

• If BRICS Pay succeeds, it will accelerate de-dollarization and challenge U.S. economic influence.

• If the GENIUS Act succeeds, it will extend U.S. dominance into the digital era through regulated stablecoins.

The likely outcome may not be a clear winner but rather a fragmented global system—with parallel payment networks reflecting the divide between East and West.

What is certain is that the battle for financial dominance is no longer theoretical. It is being fought today across technology, legislation, and trade alliances—and its resolution will redefine the balance of global power.

“Tidbits From TNT” Friday 8-22-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Trade: Iraq has completed the technical files to join the World Trade Organization.

Minister of Trade Athir Dawood Al-Ghariri announced that Iraq has completed the technical requirements for joining the World Trade Organization after two decades of challenges.

Al-Ghariri stated in a statement that "Iraq has completed all the technical files required to join the World Trade Organization, after a negotiating process that spanned more than twenty years, during which Iraq faced numerous challenges and delays."

The minister explained that "this achievement was accomplished during the term of the current government, through intensive, qualitative efforts that surpassed what was accomplished in all previous stages combined," stressing that "Iraq is now in an advanced position paving the way for fulfilling the requirements for full membership."

Al-Ghariri explained that "the national team concerned with accession, in coordination with the relevant ministries and sectoral bodies, and in partnership with international institutions, completed the review and update of all technical files, which included: the foreign trade system memorandum, the legislative implementation plan, agricultural support tables, the import licensing file, customs valuation, in addition to the sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) and technical barriers to trade (TBT) files."

He continued: "The team also prepared accurate answers to (175) questions and inquiries submitted by the member states of the organization, while the Iraqi customs system was updated to the latest version in line with international standards and enhancing Iraq's readiness for the next stages."
The minister confirmed that "the files will be officially submitted to the WTO Secretariat through diplomatic channels, in preparation for the next meeting of the working group."

Al-Ghariri concluded by saying, "What has been achieved is the fruit of the government's extensive support, continuous coordination with all ministries and national institutions, and the efforts of the Department of Foreign Economic Relations in leading this strategic path, with the goal of strengthening Iraq's position in the global trading system, serving its national economy, and achieving sustainable development.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani and the Venezuelan ambassador discuss activating memoranda of understanding and agreements related to air transport.

 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani discussed bilateral relations and ways to enhance them in various fields, including cooperation within the framework of OPEC, with the Venezuelan Ambassador to Iraq, Arturo Anibal Caicos Ramirez, on Thursday.

The Prime Minister's Media Office stated in a statement received by Al-Eqtisad News that "the meeting discussed bilateral relations and ways to strengthen them in various fields, through activating memoranda of understanding and agreements, particularly those related to air transport services and cooperation within the framework of OPEC."

During the meeting, Al-Sudani affirmed that "Iraq is committed to enhancing coordination within the framework of oil policies, including the exchange of technical expertise and cooperation to ensure stability in oil markets." He also praised Venezuela's role in OPEC and its commitment to controlling global oil prices.

Al-Sudani praised the Venezuelan government's supportive stance on the Palestinian cause, noting the importance of exerting efforts to halt the crimes and violations perpetrated by the Zionist occupation forces against the Palestinians and to end the humanitarian suffering in the Gaza Strip.

For his part, the Venezuelan ambassador conveyed the greetings of the President of the Republic of Venezuela to the Prime Minister, his desire to strengthen bilateral relations, and his appreciation for Iraq's role in peacemaking and maintaining international stability and peace, especially in light of the progress and prosperity the country is witnessing in the areas of security, economy, reconstruction, and development.  link

Tishwash:  Norwegian company resumes oil production in the Kurdistan Region. 

A Norwegian company has resumed oil production in the Kurdistan Region, after a nearly month-long shutdown following drone attacks on several fields in the region .

Norwegian oil company  DNO announced on Thursday, August 21, 2025, the resumption of oil production at its Tawke and Pashkabir fields in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, after it was halted last month due to drone attacks in the region .

Shares of the Norwegian company, which also raised its dividend on Thursday, rose 11.6% in morning trading, according to the Washington-based energy platform, following the announcement of the resumption of oil production in Iraqi Kurdistan .

The Norwegian company's fields were among five oil fields in Iraqi Kurdistan that were targeted by drone attacks in mid-July, disrupting approximately 150,000 barrels per day of the region's total production, estimated at 250,000–300,000 barrels per day .

“The company resumed production from the Tawke field in early August on a trial basis, while production from the Beshkabir field resumed later in the month ,” DNO said in a statement accompanying its second-quarter earnings report.

She noted that the attacks hit surface processing equipment in the Bashkabir field and an oil storage tank in the Tawke field, adding that no one was injured .

She added that while the months-long repairs are still pending, the company has increased its total production on a trial basis to 55,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, split almost equally between the Tawke and Peshkabir fields .

The company's average oil production in Kurdistan was 82,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first quarter, but declined by 9% in the second quarter, reaching approximately 74,760 barrels per day .

The company explained that the production decline in Iraqi Kurdistan was the result of an operational shutdown imposed by market disruptions, during which DNO used the time to conduct maintenance and conversions scheduled for later this year .

The Norwegian company, which owns 75% of the Tawke license, where the Tawke and Peshkabir fields are located, announced that it aims to increase oil production in Kurdistan to 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the long term .

The Tawke field, along with the Bashkabir field, forms a single concession operated by the Norwegian oil and gas company DNO in partnership with Genel Energy, which holds a 25% stake. The concession is located in the Zakho region, near the Turkish border .

The Tawke field is one of the oldest fields to enter production in Kurdistan, having been in operation since 2007, and currently produces approximately 29,000 barrels per day .

The field's recoverable reserves are estimated at between 150 and 370 million barrels, making it a key pillar of Iraqi Kurdistan's oil landscape .

The Beshkabir field was discovered in 2016 and began production in 2017. It produces approximately 49,000-54,000 barrels per day, with cumulative production reaching more than 100 million barrels by March 2023 .

On August 13, Gulf Keystone Petroleum announced the resumption of production at the Shaikan oil field, which was also subjected to drone attacks   link

Thurs. 21 Aug. 2025: THE GREAT SILENCE BEFORE THE SIGNAL …QFS on Telegram

For months the surface world has seen only flickers — terminals freezing, satellites shifting, power grids dipping into shadow before rushing back. To the untrained eye these are glitches. To those who know, they are not mistakes. They are signals of the new system that already (allegedly)  hums beneath your feet.

This is the rise of the Quantum Financial System. It is not theory. It is not a distant promise. It is already alive, tested in silence, running parallel while the old fiat tries to imitate life. The banks you walk into today are (allegedly shells. The real flow has already shifted into quantum settlement — incorruptible, transparent, asset-backed. Every payment in recent weeks has (allegedly touched QFS nodes hidden in plain sight. You are using it without being told.

QFS is not just about money. It is the reset of civilization. It erases the slavery of debt. It restores stolen wealth. It (allegedly funds the release of MedBeds, free energy, and cures buried for generations. It is incorruptible code aligned with universal law.

 This is why the silence feels so heavy.

Once the system takes full command, the old order collapses in a single stroke.

The signs are written into the air if you know how to watch. Government buildings falling dark without warning. Anchors losing their voices live on air. Currency values shifting overnight in nations dismissed as irrelevant. And then, at the appointed hour, the broadcast — the announcement no one can mute.

Remember this when it begins. You are not waiting for the storm. You are standing inside it already. What you await is the signal of transition — the public revelation that the Quantum Financial System is no longer hidden. It is here. It is irreversible. It is the foundation of the world that follows.

Frank26    [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY:  We think the rate will show in September because the elections will be in October.  Sudani can give us a new rate right before the elections and we will vote for him.  This will be a brilliant move for him.

8-21-2025   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick   Question: "You pointed out that it used to be 183 trillion [dinars in circulation] two years ago, last year it was 100 trillion but right about now where do you think the 3-zero notes are out there inside of Iraq?"   IOO we believe they are somewhere around 30 to 40 trillion dinars which can be done in '26, '27, '28.  It's an ongoing process.  America still have 3-zero notes that have not even been considered null and void yet.  We came out with these in the 50s when our economy exploded.  We got rid of 3-zero notes ourselves although we didn't cancel them.  There is still a 500 note, a $1,000 note.  It's not in circulation.

Mnt Goat   Today there is cause to celebrate but also to caution us investors. We must remember that there are political motives behind the scenes working within Iraq but also at the same time, the Central Bank keeps moving ahead with the financial reforms and its goals of financial freedom for Iraq. It is a growth process for Iraq both politically and economically.  To hit the world stage again is an uphill battle but I am confident that Iraq is meeting the challenge and will soon  emerge as a financial giant.

Iraq News Update: IQD Rate Based on Security | U.S. Troops | Chevron Deal

Edu Matrix:  8-21-2025

Iraq’s dinar revaluation faces one of its biggest challenges yet—the militias. Until Iraq brings the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) under full state control, foreign investors will remain cautious.

Without security, there’s no stability, and without stability, the Iraqi dinar cannot make a serious move upward. In this video, we break down why regulating militias is crucial for Iraq’s economy, how it impacts foreign investment, and why the IQD’s value depends on resolving the country’s ongoing security issues.

From Baghdad’s new laws on PMF oversight to international investors watching Iraq’s oil deals, every step toward regulation matters.

 If you’re following Iraq’s economy, the IQD revaluation process, or Middle East politics, this is a must-watch.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Morning 8-22-25

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

Fed Chair Jerome Powell Faces Delicate Balancing Act in Jackson Hole Speech Today

When Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell takes the stage today at the annual Jackson Hole, Wyoming economic forum, he will face mounting pressures—from President Trump’s repeated calls for his resignation to a recent stream of worrying economic data.

Powell, whose term as Fed Chair ends in May 2026, will likely deliver his last major policy speech as head of the central bank. The event, hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, is closely watched because it provides a stage for Fed officials to signal views on the economy and future monetary policy direction.

Focus on Rates at Jackson Hole

• A key issue is whether Powell will hint at the Fed’s next interest rate decision, scheduled for Sept. 17.

• President Trump has pushed the Fed to cut rates, citing solid economic data and muted inflation.

• Powell, however, has emphasized a “wait and see” approach, especially as the Fed evaluates the impact of tariffs on consumer prices.

• Meanwhile, new signals—such as slowing job growth and inflation showing its largest increase in three years—complicate the picture.

Melissa Brown, Managing Director of Investment Decision Research at SimCorp, summed it up:

“You have this political pressure balanced off against the economic pressure, which makes Powell’s job particularly difficult.”

The Fed declined to comment ahead of Powell’s remarks. The Kansas City Fed will livestream the speech Friday at 10 a.m. Eastern Time on YouTube.

Will the Fed Cut Rates?

• Powell is expected to avoid confirming whether the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will lower rates in September.

• By design, Fed decisions are kept private until officially announced to avoid market disruption and to maintain independence from political pressure.

• Before the Sept. 16–17 meeting, the Fed will receive two key reports:

• Labor Department jobs report (Sept. 5)

• Consumer Price Index (CPI) (Sept. 11)

Recent political tension has risen after the head of the Labor Statistics Bureau was fired in August, following a sharp slowdown in reported job creation—figures that President Trump openly questioned.

Mike Sanders, Head of Fixed Income at Madison Investments, explained:

“I don’t think Powell can push the narrative toward cutting because that leaves him no option but to cut. He has to signal data-dependence.”

Markets, however, are already betting on a cut. FactSet data shows an 88% chance of a 0.25% rate reduction in September.

Last year at Jackson Hole, Powell hinted at cuts, which materialized the following month with a 0.50% rate reduction.

Dual Mandate, Conflicting Signals

• Powell also faces the Fed’s dual mandate:

• Maximize employment

• Maintain stable prices (inflation control)

• These mandates often conflict:

• Cutting rates may boost job growth but risk higher inflation.

• Holding rates steady may stabilize inflation but slow employment growth.

Economist Will Denyer (Gavekal Research) noted the Fed may face a stagflation risk—a combination of slow growth and rising inflation, considered the “Fed’s nightmare scenario.”

Minutes from the July 30 FOMC meeting reveal that some members still worry supply-chain disruptions could keep inflation elevated, confirming that inflation remains a central concern.

Oxford Economics Chief U.S. Economist Ryan Sweet added:

“The labor market will be the swing factor on whether the Fed cuts interest rates in September or not.”

US House Adds CBDC Ban to Massive Defense Policy Bill

The House has quietly slipped a provision banning the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital currency into an almost 1,300-page defense policy bill, underscoring how the debate over money’s future has become tied to national security legislation.

The move comes through a revision of HR 3838, the House’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), shared Thursday by the House Rules Committee. The language is sweeping: it bans the Federal Reserve from studying, developing, or creating any digital currency.

The House had already passed a separate CBDC-ban bill in July — the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act — by a razor-thin margin of 219–210. But that measure faced a steep uphill battle in the Senate. By inserting the ban into the NDAA, lawmakers have effectively hitched it to must-pass national security funding, increasing its odds of survival.

Why It Matters

The NDAA is among the most critical annual bills in Congress, setting defense budgets and military priorities. It is also notorious as a vehicle for non-defense riders that would otherwise stall if brought as standalone measures. By embedding a CBDC prohibition here, House Republicans have dramatically shifted the battleground.

• House leaders promised the CBDC ban in July as part of a deal with conservative hardliners.

• A group of GOP holdouts had refused to advance three crypto-related bills unless a ban was guaranteed, stalling floor debate for over nine hours — the longest delay in House history.

• The logjam broke only after House Majority Leader Steve Scalise pledged that the ban would be added to the NDAA.

What the Provision Does

The language would:

• Ban the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC or any digital asset.

• Block the central bank from offering financial products or services directly to individuals.

• Prohibit the Fed from even “testing, studying, developing, creating, or implementing” a digital currency.

• Allow a carve-out for stablecoins, clarifying that the bill does not prohibit “any dollar-denominated currency that is open, permissionless, and private.”

Historical Context

• Republicans have long targeted CBDCs as a threat to financial privacy and state overreach.

• In early 2023, Representative Tom Emmer introduced the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, but it died in the previous Congress.

• Emmer has since reintroduced the bill, framing it as aligned with President Donald Trump’s January executive order prohibiting CBDCs.

With its new place in the NDAA, however, the CBDC ban is no longer a fringe fight — it is now tethered to America’s broader defense and security posture.

CFTC Launches Crypto Sprint With Public Consultation Open Until October 20, 2025

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has opened its latest “crypto sprint,” a major step in advancing President Trump’s digital asset agenda. This initiative, running through October 20, 2025, invites public feedback from industry leaders, investors, and everyday users to help shape the next phase of U.S. crypto market rules.

Working in tandem with the SEC, the sprint underscores a push for stronger federal oversight of spot trading, signaling that digital assets have become a priority at the highest levels of government.

Focus on Spot Market Oversight

Acting Chairman Caroline D. Pham announced that the sprint will begin immediately, with a focus on:

• Federal-level trading rules to strengthen spot market oversight.

• Expanded attention to leveraged, margined, and retail trading risks.

• Alignment with the SEC’s “Project Crypto”, in direct response to Trump’s call for U.S. leadership in digital assets.

Calling this the start of a “Golden Age of innovation,” Pham urged the industry to embrace both growth and responsible regulation as central to U.S. competitiveness in global digital finance.

Expanding Oversight Beyond Spot Trading

This is the second CFTC crypto sprint in recent weeks:

• The first focused specifically on spot trading.

• The new phase expands to broader market structure, leverage, and retail-focused products.

Pham emphasized the Commission’s commitment to managing risks without stifling innovation, highlighting coordination with the SEC, the White House, and market stakeholders.

Public Consultation Open Until October 20

Public participation is central to this process. The CFTC is inviting feedback from institutions, builders, and individual investors via its official website. This marks a rare chance for the crypto community to directly shape future U.S. digital asset rules.

Implications for the Market

• Bullish case: Clear rules could legitimize the market, attract institutional money, and accelerate mainstream adoption.

• Bearish case: Overly strict limits on leverage and retail access — combined with regulatory overlap — could suppress innovation and push projects overseas.

Either way, the CFTC’s sprint represents a pivotal moment: the rules that emerge could define the U.S. crypto market for years to come.

Ripple Partners with SBI to Roll Out RLUSD Stablecoin in Japan by Q1 2026

Ripple announced Friday that it will launch its Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin in Japan in partnership with SBI Holdings by the first quarter of 2026. The rollout will be managed through SBI VC Trade, the crypto subsidiary of SBI Holdings.

As of Friday morning, RLUSD holds a market capitalization of $666 million with a 24-hour trading volume of $71 million, according to CoinGecko.

Ripple and SBI’s Strategic Collaboration

Ripple emphasized that Japan is a critical market for the expansion of stablecoin adoption. In the announcement, Tomohiko Kondo, CEO of SBI VC Trade, said:

“SBI Group has been leading the development of the cryptocurrency and blockchain field in Japan. The introduction of RLUSD will not just expand the option of stablecoins in the Japanese market, but is a major step forward in the reliability and convenience of stablecoins in the Japanese market.”

This partnership builds on SBI’s longstanding relationship with Ripple, reinforcing their joint strategy to drive digital asset infrastructure in Asia.

RLUSD: Backed and Growing

• Launched in December 2024.

• Backed 1:1 by reserves that include:

• U.S. dollar deposits

• Short-term U.S. government bonds

• Other cash equivalents

The stablecoin market overall has seen sharp growth, with the supply of USD-pegged stablecoins hitting $266 billion as of Thursday, up from $256 billion on August 1, according to The Block’s data dashboard.

Expanding Global Reach

Ripple has been positioning RLUSD as a global payments rail:

• In June 2025, the Dubai Financial Services Authority approved RLUSD for use within the Dubai International Financial Centre, broadening its international footprint.

• The upcoming Japan launch marks another step in Ripple’s ambition to position RLUSD as a reliable, institution-friendly stablecoin in both regional and global markets.

Conclusion

Ripple’s Japan expansion with SBI Holdings demonstrates how stablecoins are moving beyond U.S. markets into regulated, high-demand regions. With Japan’s openness to blockchain innovation and SBI’s leadership role in fintech adoption, the partnership could become a model for stablecoin integration across Asia.
