Tishwash:  Iraqi Embassy in Washington: Iraq is not affiliated with any country.

The Iraqi Embassy in Washington affirmed that Iraq enjoys full sovereignty and has the right to conclude agreements and memoranda of understanding in accordance with the provisions of its constitution and national laws, and in a manner consistent with its supreme interests.

The embassy explained, in a statement issued in response to the remarks of the US State Department spokesperson, that Baghdad maintains friendly and cooperative relations with many countries around the world, including the United States and neighboring countries, and is keen to build these relations on the basis of mutual respect and shared interests.

She stressed that Iraq "is not subservient to the policies of any country," and that its decisions stem from its independent national will.

In this context, the embassy noted that the security agreement recently signed with Iran is part of bilateral cooperation to maintain security and control the shared border, contributing to the stability of both countries and the security of the region.  link

Tishwash:  The Central Bank of Iraq: Infrastructure, legislation, and community awareness to promote electronic payments.

Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq announced on Saturday the issuance of instructions and regulations to regulate electronic payments across three aspects.

While revealing a mechanism for developing the electronic payment process, he also affirmed that all state institutions are required to use electronic payments, not cash.

Al-Alaq said in a statement to the official agency, followed by ( IQ ): “Electronic payment is witnessing significant development, and it is a gateway to the digital transformation towards a digital economy for a larger issue related to the economic structure and global interaction, to achieve greater financial inclusion, and all of these aspects have become fixed and advanced strategies.”

He pointed out that "the Central Bank, along with the government, the private sector, electronic payment companies, and technology companies, are all engaged in this massive and ongoing effort. We have regulatory and legislative technical initiatives and directions being worked on in coordination between the Central Bank of Iraq and the Iraqi government."

He added, "There is cooperation and coordination with the government through the decision issued by the Council of Ministers requiring all state institutions to use electronic payments instead of cash.

There is also the localization of salaries, which amounts to millions, in addition to public awareness being conducted through electronic payment companies and civil society organizations. There is growing community awareness."

He explained that "progress in electronic payments requires infrastructure, a legislative framework, and community awareness. These are three aspects that are being worked on diligently.

 Much of the infrastructure at the Central Bank level has been completed in an advanced manner, fully in line with international practices and legislative frameworks. We have issued numerous instructions and regulations that regulate the process, but we need more in the third aspect, which is community and cultural awareness."  link

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

Tishwash:  Oil Minister: Signing a contract with the American company Schlumberger to increase production from the Akkas field to 100 million cubic feet per day.

Today, Thursday (August 28, 2025), Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Minister of Oil, Eng. Hayan Abdul-Ghani Al-Sawad, chaired the eighth session of the Opinion Board at the Ministry’s headquarters, with the participation of undersecretaries, advisors, and general managers.

During the meeting, the Minister said that the Ministry has achieved self-sufficiency in gas oil and kerosene, and is continuing work on completing the FCC projects in Basra and improving naphtha in Kirkuk, with the aim of achieving self-sufficiency in gasoline during the current year.

He pointed to the opening of the grease refinery at the Northern Refineries Company, which will meet approximately 70% of the country's needs, directing refinery companies to develop these projects to achieve full self-sufficiency.

Abdulghani also announced the signing of a contract with Schlumberger to increase production rates in the Akkas field to 100 million standard cubic feet per day, in addition to signing an agreement in principle with the American company Chevron to develop four exploration blocks in the Dhi Qar oil field and the Balad oil field.

The session discussed a number of topics on the agenda, and made decisions and recommendations aimed at developing the oil sector and enhancing cooperation with specialized international companies  link

Everything Bubble Set to Pop as Final Stage Signals Collapse

Everything Bubble Set to Pop as Final Stage Signals Collapse

Taylor Kenny:   8-28-2025

They don’t want you to see this chart. Every financial bubble in history follows the same cycle––and right now the signs are flashing red. AI stocks and S&P 500 valuations are screaming danger.

How much time is left before it all unravels?

Ever feel that dizzying rush when the market just keeps climbing? That intoxicating sense of “this time it’s different,” where every investment seems to soar?

While optimism fuels growth, history warns us that unchecked euphoria often leads to an inevitable crash. In a compelling video from ITM Trading, Taylor Kenney unpacks the cyclical nature of financial bubbles, illustrating how the same patterns repeat – and disturbingly, how many of those patterns are evident in today’s market.

We’ve seen this play out before: from the 2006 housing market boom, where everyone believed real estate could only go up, to the dot-com era’s speculative fervor over unproven internet companies. But what’s truly concerning, Kenney highlights, are the striking parallels with today’s market.

The S&P 500’s price-to-book ratios, a key valuation metric, are at record highs, exceeding historical bubble peaks. Compounding this risk is extreme market concentration: a mere 10 companies now comprise an astounding 40% of the S&P 500’s market capitalization, creating significant systemic risk if any of these giants falter.

Sound familiar? The rapid ascent of AI-related investments shares an eerie resemblance to the dot-com bubble. Unproven technologies, enormous hype, and speculative money chasing potential rather than proven profitability – it’s a recipe for disaster we’ve witnessed firsthand.

The biggest danger during a bubble’s mania phase is the widespread conviction that “this time it’s different.” People refuse to acknowledge warning signs, double down on risky bets, and dismiss historical precedents. But history, as the saying goes, may not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. Denial and “bull traps” are often the last enticing lures before the painful descent begins.

So, what’s an investor to do when the market’s euphoria reaches fever pitch? Kenney’s advice is clear: don’t succumb to the hype. Instead, prepare with a sound, tangible strategy. While others chase speculative gains, focus on safeguarding your existing wealth.

Physical assets like gold and silver have historically served as reliable protective measures during market downturns. They act as a safe haven, preserving purchasing power and offering stability when paper assets and traditional markets become volatile. They are not subject to the same systemic risks or speculative frenzy that can cripple other investments.

Understanding the phases of a financial bubble isn’t about predicting the exact day of the crash, but about recognizing the signs and proactively fortifying your financial position.

 Don’t let the “new paradigm” delusion lull you into a false sense of security. Equip yourself with knowledge, consider tangible assets, and build a personalized wealth protection strategy.

50+ Countries Want to Join BRICS: US Global Power Faces Collapse

The defining geopolitical question of 2025 is no longer if but how many nations want to join BRICS. At the time of writing, more than 50 countries have signaled interest, with 23 submitting formal applications and another 28 expressing informal interest. The latest to step forward is Vietnam, underscoring how BRICS expansion has become a global phenomenon reshaping power dynamics.

🔹 Current BRICS Membership

BRICS has grown from its original five members to 11 full members. The most recent additions include:

• Indonesia (January 2025)

• Saudi Arabia (July 2025)

• Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE (earlier expansions)

With these inclusions, BRICS now represents nearly half the world’s population and over 41% of global GDP. Beyond members, the alliance has also established partnerships with Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.

This network shows that BRICS is building more than a trade bloc—it is constructing a parallel system of alliances and institutions outside Western dominance.

🔹 Europe’s Bold Moves Toward BRICS

Despite Western pressure, several European nations are eyeing membership:

• Belarus – the most vocal candidate, citing sanctions relief.

• Serbia – the first European nation to express interest.

• Turkey – a NATO member now openly pursuing BRICS ties.

This demonstrates that BRICS is not merely an alliance of the “Global South” but one that is starting to fracture Europe’s unity under Western influence.

🔹 Asia and Africa Lead Expansion

The strongest wave of new interest comes from Asia and Africa, with countries such as:
Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Chad, Colombia, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Laos, Kuwait, Morocco, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Palestine, Senegal, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Syria, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and more.

Vietnam’s entry highlights a sovereignty-driven shift, as many nations seek alternatives to dollar-based trade systems.

🔹 The July 2025 Rio Summit

At the Rio Summit, leaders debated the pace of expansion.

• China, Russia, and Iran push for rapid enlargement.

• Brazil and India prefer a slower, consensus-based approach.

Brazil’s President Lula da Silva captured the moment:

“We are witnessing an unprecedented collapse of multilateralism.”

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed the developments, declaring:

“BRICS is dead.”

Yet the facts suggest the opposite: BRICS is growing rapidly.

🔹 Key Takeaway

The BRICS expansion wave signals nothing short of a global realignment of power. With over 50 nations vying for entry, BRICS is becoming the counterweight to U.S. hegemony.

Trump’s tariff threats may slow trade, but they cannot stop the structural transformation already underway. The more countries that join BRICS, the stronger the momentum for de-dollarization and multipolar finance—a fundamental shift the U.S. cannot easily reverse.

Ariel: Iraq will be the First Country to Revalue

Ariel: Iraq will be the First Country to Revalue

8-28-2025

Do you remember this post?

Now what do you see happening currently?

What did Donald Trump mean when he said we have a lot of their currency?

Ariel:  The Green Light: What did Iraq announce yesterday? The end of US-Led Coalition Forces in Iraq correct?

What did I tell you all they must do 1st in order to remove American Military from the country?

 Now look at what Donald Trump stated below.

Remember what Mazin Al-Eshaiker (Economists) said last week about Iraq coming out at 1:1? https://newarab.com/news/iraq-moving-end-presence-us-led-coalition-troops-pm

Now do you all see how historical this event is? What do you think 35 billion in IQD will turn into once Iraq reinstate their currency on the Forex Market?

You all know D. Trump loves renovation. Can you imagine what this country will look like?

That Star Trek future is right around the corner. This interview took place with Laura Ingraham of Fox News back on Jan 10 2020 This is the excerpt.

https://google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/media/trump-tells-ingraham-iraq-should-pay-u-s-back-otherwise-well-stay-there.amp

Hot Off The News Wire:

I will say this in the most practical way possible. The proposed distribution of VND100,000 to each of Vietnam’s approximately 100 million citizens, totaling 10 trillion VND (equivalent to roughly 400 billion USD at the current exchange rate of about 25,000 VND per USD), exceeds Vietnam’s annual central government budget revenue of around 1.8 quadrillion VND (approximately 72 billion USD in 2024 fiscal projections) and strains its GDP of 433 billion USD, rendering it fiscally unviable without a substantial currency revaluation that enhances the VND’s purchasing power and international value.

This also plays into what Iraq is currently planning with the new post reform Riyada Bank. Not to mention the other article that was released by the Gateway Pundit about September 1st being a huge day for what D. Trump has planned.

Majeed:  By September 2 each citizen in Vietnam will receive 100,000 VND which is worth $3.8 today We know what’s going on with the new financial system and Iraq and all currencies will go at the same time No way in hell they are gonna give them 100,000 VND by September 2 when it is worthless ………RV before September 2?

Now, with that said I will still say that Iraq will be the ones to go 1st then other countries. So I do not think Vietnam will be the ones to jump the gun on this.

But this report shows that they are on track to be the following countries in the 1st basket.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Fri. 29 August 2025

Compiled Fri. 29 August 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Thurs. 28 Aug. 2025 BREAKING! QFS FULLY ACTIVATED, GESARA ENFORCEMENT UNDERWAY, SHI TOKEN DEPLOYED UNDER SPACE FORCE COMMAND

The digital SHI token — Sovereign Human Initiative — has (allegedly) been deployed. Bound to gold, secured by biometric Quantum Access Cards, and unhackable, SHI is already (allegedly) in use at Redemption Centers in Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska.

Space Force’s Starlink grid (allegedly) provides quantum encryption for every transaction. If a transfer doesn’t pass through Space Force verification, it is blocked. This is total control of the financial battlefield, and it (allegedly) belongs to Trump.

Central banks worldwide are collapsing structurally, not metaphorically. Japan is insolvent. The euro is at historic lows. Germany froze pensions. The UK halted high-net withdrawals. Over 430 elite escape payouts have been intercepted in Monaco, Singapore, and Tel Aviv. Their gold is gone. Their authority is gone. Their illusion is gone.

Over 130 nations are (allegedly) already in GESARA biometric compliance. IRS offices are (allegedly) shutting down. Student loan and tax debts are (allegedly) being erased via quantum ledger corrections. Consumption-based taxation is (allegedly) replacing the corrupt income system. Every account, property title, and investment (allegedly) will be quantum-audited. Fraudulent entries wiped. Legitimate ones preserved.

The Emergency Broadcast System will (allegedly) trigger once 90% of global compliance is secured. Expect public announcements: the end of the Federal Reserve, confirmation of GESARA rollout, activation of SHI as the global token, biometric onboarding, and Quantum Card distribution. Savings and wealth will(allegedly)  be restored under quantum law. Illicit assets will be erased.

Trump did not return for politics. He returned to (allegedly) annihilate the central banking system, dismantle globalist slavery, and restore sovereignty to humanity. The elite’s money is(allegedly)  frozen. Their escape routes destroyed. Their gold seized. Their time is over.

QFS is(allegedly)  live. GESARA is(allegedly)  active. SHI is (allegedly) real. And those who enslaved humanity with debt and lies will not survive what comes next.

Thurs. 28 Aug. 2025 THE GREAT SILENCE BEFORE THE SIGNAL: QFS Live as of Sun. 17 Aug. 2025 …Emergency Broadcast System on Telegram 

The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is no longer a concept locked in secret halls. It breathes. It pulses. It’s being tested in shadows while the old fiat still pretends to be alive.

For months, the system has been whispering. Bank terminals flicker. Satellites “recalibrate.” Power grids stutter for seconds, then return as if nothing happened. To the untrained eye — glitches. To those who know — signals. What you’re witnessing is not chaos. It’s the final rewiring of the global network.

Every transaction you’ve made in recent weeks already (allegedly) passed through nodes you were never told exist. The “banks” you still see on the street are facades, like empty shells of a dead organism. Inside the core — quantum settlement, asset-backed transfers, incorruptible code.

And what comes with QFS? GESARA. NESARA. Debt release. Restoration of stolen wealth. Funding for suppressed technologies — MedBeds, free energy, hidden cures. This is why the silence feels so heavy. Because once the switch flips, there will be no turning back.

Watch for these markers:
• Lights cutting out in government buildings for minutes at a time.
• News anchors “losing” audio simultaneously across networks.
• Sudden revaluation of currencies in small, “insignificant” nations.
• An unexpected global message, looping across every screen.

When it hits, remember this: the storm isn’t coming. The storm is already here. You’re just waiting for the broadcast.

On Sun. 17 Aug. 2025 a Top Secret Global Currency Reset (GCR) (allegedly)  began rolling out that was decades in the making & designed to stabilize currencies & unite over 90 nations under a fairer financial system. The U.S. enters last, ensuring the system is stress-tested before the largest economy commits.

Frank26  This blessing is happening.  It's occurring at a very quick pace...relative to the last 20 years that we've been sitting here wondering when is this ever going to happen.  We were always asking the question, does this have the potential?  Does that have the possibility?  We don't even ask those questions anymore.  What we're doing now is making the  questions of preparation...

Jeff    Like Donald Trump said in the video I brought you last weekend that the US are not leaving until we get paid because we were paid in Iraq dinar, not the US dollar.  The only way we can get paid is for the dinar to have value added to it - a real effective exchange rate. 

Militia Man  Iraq is telling us exactly what they're doing and how they're doing it.  It's somewhat vague but if the implications behind what they're stating is truly showing that they are integrating into the global financial system.

Gold Revaluation, Banking Collapse & the Endgame Ahead | Rafi Farber

Liberty and Finance:  8-28-2025

Rafi Farber dismantles the illusion that gold is merely another commodity, framing it instead as the bedrock of the monetary system against which the dollar perpetually devalues.

 He draws historical parallels—from FDR’s arbitrary revaluation in 1933 to the market-driven surge of 1980—arguing that today’s monetary base implies gold could reach $40,000–$50,000 an ounce, a number that sounds absurd only to those unfamiliar with precedent.

Farber skewers the Genius Act and its stablecoin provisions as nothing more than adding another flimsy layer to an already top-heavy pyramid of derivatives, a bureaucratic sleight-of-hand that will collapse under the same laws of economic gravity.

Ironically, the very schemes meant to preserve the system may accelerate its demise, forcing the choice between saving the banks or the currency—a decision that ensures the destruction of one or the other.

 Yet, he insists the coming “end game” is less apocalypse than rebirth, where those grounded in community and tangible value will endure while the paper illusions dissolve.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Morning 8-29-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

US Regulator Opens Pathway for Americans to Trade on Offshore Crypto Exchanges

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has cleared a new path for U.S. investors to legally access offshore crypto platforms under its Foreign Board of Trade (FBOT) framework.

This marks a significant development in the regulator’s ongoing “crypto sprint” initiative, which was launched to overhaul outdated regulations in response to proposals from the Trump administration.

🔹 CFTC’s Announcement

Acting CFTC Director Caroline Pham confirmed that U.S. clients can once again tap into offshore trading opportunities through the long-standing FBOT registry.

“Starting now, the CFTC welcomes back Americans who want to trade efficiently and safely under CFTC regulations, and opens up U.S. markets to the rest of the world. It’s just another example of how the CFTC will continue to deliver wins for President Trump as part of our crypto sprint.” – Caroline Pham

The FBOT framework, in place since the 1990s, allows registered offshore exchanges to provide U.S. access across asset classes, now extended explicitly to crypto.

🔹 Impact on U.S. Crypto Markets

• Liquidity Boost: Offshore access is expected to increase market depth and reduce regional silos.

• Binance Case Study: The world’s largest exchange, Binance, remains off-limits to most U.S. users except through its limited affiliate, Binance.US. The CFTC’s move could pave the way for broader participation.

• Investor Choice: U.S. traders, often restricted to “walled garden” platforms, may soon benefit from a more competitive and global marketplace.

🔹 Trump’s Crypto Sprint in Action

The announcement follows President Trump’s repeated calls to bring crypto companies back to U.S. soil and secure American leadership in digital assets.

Between 2021 and 2024, unclear rules drove many crypto firms offshore, with the majority of trading volume moving outside U.S. borders. The CFTC’s reforms aim to reverse this trend, positioning the U.S. as a friendlier jurisdiction for digital finance.

🔹 Industry Perspective

Edwin Mata, attorney and CEO of tokenization platform Brickken, stressed that ambiguity in past regulations had created unnecessary legal risk for crypto firms:

• Clearer rules will lower compliance burdens.

• Companies can operate in the U.S. without fear of “regulation by enforcement.”

• More projects will stay onshore, fueling U.S. innovation.

🔹 Next Steps

The CFTC is now accepting public feedback on its crypto framework. Its goal:

• Protect investors and markets,

• Avoid creating barriers that push innovation offshore.

This marks one of the most significant shifts in U.S. crypto oversight since 2021, potentially reshaping where and how Americans trade digital assets.

Mastercard Launches First Stablecoin Transactions in Africa and the Middle East

The world of crypto payments is steadily moving from experimentation to real-world adoption. This week’s development comes from Mastercard and Circle, who have joined forces to bring stablecoin settlements into mainstream banking flows across Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

🔹 A Bold Expansion: USDC & EURC in Banking Flows

• Mastercard now enables settlements in USDC and EURC for acquirers in the EEMEA region (Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa).

• Circle has integrated USDC into Finastra’s Global PAYplus platform, opening access to 50 countries and $5 trillion in potential flows.

• Early adopters include Arab Financial Services (Bahrain) and Eazy Financial Services (Saudi Arabia).

For Kash Razzaghi, Circle’s Chief Business Officer, the initiative is a turning point:

“Our expanded partnership with Mastercard will enable wider reach, global access, and scaled impact, so that USDC can become as ubiquitous as traditional payments.”

🔹 Mastercard’s Strategy: Bridging Fiat and Blockchain

Mastercard is no longer just a credit card network. The company is actively positioning itself as a global bridge between banks and digital assets, leveraging stablecoins to unify fiat and blockchain systems.

Key initiatives include:

• Crypto Credential – identity authentication for blockchain transactions.

• Crypto Secure – fraud detection tailored to crypto payments.

• MTN integration – enabling multi-asset digital settlements.

• Partnerships with Bybit and S1lkPay, offering direct USDC payments via crypto cards.

Dimitrios Dosis, Mastercard’s EEMEA President, emphasized the company’s commitment:

“We know trust is essential to scale, and we are proud to play a leading role by leveraging our decades of experience in security and compliance in the stablecoin universe.”

🔹 The Bigger Picture: Circle’s Global Offensive

Five facts highlighting the scale of Circle & Mastercard’s move:

• +90% annual growth of USDC, now at $65.2B market cap.

• 28% share of the dollar-backed stablecoin market.

• Zero fees for USDC/USD conversions on OKX.

• 50 countries connected through Finastra’s settlement rails.

• 4 Korean banks in talks with Circle on a potential digital won issuance.

Beyond payments, Circle is aiming higher: the company has filed for a U.S. banking license to transform USDC into a native part of the financial system.

🔹 Why This Matters

This collaboration is more than just a technical integration:

• It places stablecoins inside the banking infrastructure, not just at the edges of crypto exchanges.

• It strengthens regulatory trust in stablecoins by leveraging Mastercard’s compliance systems.

• It signals the beginning of a world where stablecoins like USDC can serve as a monetary backbone for digital economies.

Tishwash:  Iraqi ports are included for the first time in the global list of STS service providers.

The General Company for Iraqi Ports announced today, Thursday, its official inclusion, for the first time in its history, on the global list of Ship-to-Ship Transfer (STS) service providers , according to the list issued by the global consulting firm Dynamarine .

In a statement received by Al-Sa'a Network, the company's general manager, Farhan Al-Fartousi, said, "The launch of side-loading services at ports represents a strategic shift that will enhance the confidence of shipping companies and maritime fleets ."

He added, "The company provides side-loading services using modern equipment and specialized personnel, and has received excellent ratings from the vessels it has handled." He noted that "joining the international list will contribute to increasing the number of incoming vessels, increasing revenues, and expanding the scope of maritime services to keep pace with the requirements of global trade ."

Al-Fartousi pointed out that "this achievement comes as part of the General Company for Iraqi Ports' strategy to improve the quality of its services and strengthen Iraq's position on the international maritime transport map . link

Tishwash:  President of the Republic: There is an urgent need to pass the oil and gas law.

President Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid stressed that there is an urgent need to pass the oil and gas law and detailed laws on the distribution of revenues, to solve the existing problems.

The President said in a televised interview: "The Arab-Kurdish Cultural Center is an important step towards strengthening common rapprochement through studying common history and destiny."

He explained: "The relationship between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government is good in all areas, and the existing differences are originally between the provinces and the federal government, and what is common to them is greater than the differences."

He stressed: "There is an urgent need to pass the oil and gas law and detailed laws on the distribution of revenues to solve the existing problems, and unfortunately, Parliament has not succeeded in passing the important oil and gas law."

He pointed out: "It is the government's duty to provide salaries for all employees, and we have a major problem in government expenditures from salaries, as they reach more than 80% of the state's revenues, while in other developed countries they do not reach more than 6%, and we must solve this problem."

He added: "We must ensure free and fair elections, and prevent the exploitation of power and its resources for electoral purposes. We, in the four presidencies, agreed on a document to be electoral regulations to be adopted by the Electoral Commission and other bodies concerned with organizing them."

He stressed that there is no truth to the postponement of elections or the formation of an emergency government, and we must ensure our people's confidence in holding fair elections on time. We in Iraq are proud that all electoral processes took place on time without delay.

The President stressed that the world is facing a major water crisis as a result of climate change, including Iraq. We must obtain a fair share from neighboring countries, stop our waste, and use modern irrigation and agricultural methods.

He stressed: "The continued aggression on Gaza has a negative impact on the entire region, and our position in Iraq is clear and not new, in our support for the Palestinian people in achieving their full legitimate rights to self-determination. The aggression must now stop, humanitarian aid must be delivered, and famine must be stopped."   link

Tishwash:  KRG Delegation to Visit Baghdad for Talks on Resuming Oil Exports to Turkey 

Sabah Subhi, a member of the Iraqi Parliament’s Oil and Gas Committee, told Kurdistan24 on Thursday that the delegation will travel to Baghdad on September 2 for talks with senior officials from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the SOMO.

A high-level delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) Ministry of Natural Resources, accompanied by representatives of oil companies operating in the region, is set to visit Baghdad next week to discuss the resumption of oil exports through the Turkish port of Ceyhan.

Sabah Subhi, a member of the Iraqi Parliament’s Oil and Gas Committee, told Kurdistan24 on Thursday that the delegation will travel to Baghdad on September 2 for talks with senior officials from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO).

According to Subhi, the main objective of the meeting is to reach a binding agreement that would allow oil exports to restart, as several companies have expressed reluctance to move forward without a written arrangement.

A final deal is widely expected to be achieved in the upcoming talks, particularly as oil production in the Kurdistan Region has recently increased.

The planned discussions follow a visit by a delegation from Iraq’s Ministry of Oil and SOMO to the Turkish port of Ceyhan last week. During that visit, the Iraqi side finalized technical procedures and secured an understanding with Turkey regarding the export of oil from the Kurdistan Region.

Oil exports through the Iraq-Turkey Pipeline have been suspended since March 2023 following a ruling by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) that halted independent Kurdish oil sales. Oil exports have long been a contentious issue between the KRG and the federal government, impacting the region's economic stability and development.

The suspension has significantly affected the KRG revenue, which heavily depends on oil exports. This has led to financial challenges for the region. Efforts to resolve the issue through negotiations between the KRG and the federal government are ongoing.  lin

Inflation is Destroying Fiat Currency but Strengthening Gold

Inflation is Destroying Fiat Currency but Strengthening Gold

VRIC Media:   8-27-2025

Recently, VRIC Media hosted a profoundly insightful interview with investment banker and author Chris Whan, who delivered an unflinching look at the global monetary system, the U.S. economy, and the future of financial markets.

 Whan’s analysis offers a compelling (and often challenging) perspective, particularly on the resurgence of gold and the gradual erosion of the U.S. dollar’s unique status.

At the heart of Whan’s analysis is a strong bullish stance on gold. He emphasizes its re-emergence as a primary monetary asset globally, a trend driven not by market speculation, but by national policy. Countries like China and Russia, in particular, are accumulating gold aggressively, seemingly regardless of price fluctuations.

This isn’t just about hedging; it’s a strategic move to diversify away from the dollar and strengthen their own financial sovereignty. For Whan, gold isn’t merely a commodity; it’s a foundational element in a shifting global economic landscape.

But what underpins this shift? Whan points directly to the U.S. dollar’s historically anomalous status as the world’s primary reserve currency. He argues that this position was largely a product of wartime dominance, and it’s now gradually losing ground.

 The culprits?

Rampant U.S. fiscal mismanagement and a growing global skepticism about America’s economic stability and intentions. As nations look for alternatives, the dollar’s perceived invincibility starts to falter, ushering in an era of profound re-calibration.

The erosion of the dollar’s value is, of course, inextricably linked to inflation. Whan highlights its ongoing, pervasive impact on everyday Americans, noting that those without significant stock or real estate investments are disproportionately harmed.

He critiques the Federal Reserve’s policies, including interest rate decisions and “financial repression,” explaining how political pressures and expansive fiscal policies keep the economy “running hot.” Don’t expect a quick fix: Whan believes the Fed’s 2% inflation target remains unrealistic in the current environment, suggesting that inflation is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Beyond the numbers, Whan connects these economic trends to broader societal impacts. He draws parallels with the historic Gilded Age, observing significant wealth concentration and wage stagnation. He attributes this partly to technological advances boosting productivity while limiting labor’s bargaining power, fueling political and social pressures for change.

 Interestingly, he also discusses tariffs as a potential tool for the U.S. to compensate for its reserve currency status and global economic role.

He underscores the importance of understanding American financial history to grasp current challenges and future trajectories, suggesting that knowledge is the best defense against economic headwinds.

Chris Whan’s insights paint a picture of a global monetary system in flux, with significant implications for nations and individuals alike. His book, Inflated Money, Debt, and the American Dream, further explores these themes, offering a conservative perspective on U.S. economic history and policy.

To fully grasp the depth of his analysis and prepare for the road ahead, we highly recommend watching the full interview on VRIC Media. It’s a vital conversation for anyone looking to understand the forces shaping our financial future.

The Groundwork for the New Economic System

The Groundwork for the New Economic System

Gregory Mannarino:   8-27-2025

Do you ever get the feeling that the economic and political gears are grinding in a way that feels… intentional? That what’s happening isn’t just a series of random events, but part of a much larger, orchestrated transition?

Financial analyst Gregory Mannarino isn’t just watching the news; he’s dissecting a profound, and he argues, deliberate transition towards a new systemic order. In his latest thought-provoking video, Mannarino lays bare a critical analysis of our current landscape, revealing how the very structure of our society is being reshaped right before our eyes.

One of the most striking insights Mannarino presents is the idea that the current system is strategically engineered to foster dependency. By making us deeply reliant on the existing framework, the architects of this change are, in his view, paving the way for a smoother, albeit unsettling, shift into a new economic and political structure.

These aren’t isolated incidents; Mannarino frames them as interconnected components of a grand design, all serving to facilitate the move to a different framework.

But perhaps the most profound transformation Mannarino discusses is what he calls the “final act” in a broader series exploring systemic changes. This refers to the accelerating fusion of corporate power with government authority.

Imagine a world where the lines between immense corporate entities and the governing bodies are not just blurred, but virtually erased. This isn’t merely collaboration; it’s a deep, systemic integration that has enormous implications for our freedoms, our economy, and the very fabric of society. This convergence signifies a shift of immense proportions, fundamentally altering who holds power and how decisions are made.

Mannarino stresses that his analysis isn’t a one-off warning; it’s a comprehensive series, with each part building upon previous insights to create a complete understanding of this evolving landscape. He urgently encourages viewers to engage deeply, as piecemeal understanding simply won’t suffice.

However, he expresses concern that only about a quarter of his audience is actively absorbing the full scope of this critical information. In an era where information overload is common, it’s easy to skim the surface. But Mannarino’s message is clear: understanding this evolving landscape isn’t just academic; it’s crucial for preparing for future realities shaped by these transformative forces.

This isn’t just a forecast; it’s a critical juncture in systemic evolution. Mannarino’s call to deeper engagement serves as both a warning and an invitation to equip yourself with the knowledge needed to navigate the profound changes ahead.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS De-Dollarization Reversal: Focus Shifts to Local Currency Trade

The bloc abandons near-term plans for a unified BRICS currency, instead prioritizing local currency settlements and bilateral trade mechanisms.

Shift Away From a Unified Currency

The BRICS de-dollarization strategy has undergone a notable shift. Once expected to launch a single unified currency to rival the U.S. dollar, member states are now focusing on local currency trade systems and strengthening bilateral trade relationships.

This marks a reversal of earlier ambitions, reflecting a more measured, risk-averse approach to challenging the dollar’s dominance.

Putin Softens His Position

Russian President Vladimir Putin, once the strongest advocate for a BRICS common currency, has tempered his stance.

At the 2024 Kazan summit, he was seen holding a prototype BRICS banknote called the “Unit.” But more recent remarks suggest the bloc’s goals are narrower:

“The bloc’s goal was not to break away from the U.S.-dominated SWIFT financial system entirely, but rather to reduce the Dollar’s ‘weaponisation’ and promote the use of local currencies for trade between the BRICS members.”

Brazil Confirms No 2025 Currency Timeline

As BRICS president, Brazil confirmed there is no immediate timeline for a unified BRICS currency.

The Rio de Janeiro summit declaration (July 2025) outlined broad cooperation but omitted any currency launch dates.

This caution reflects concerns over market volatility, especially after President Trump’s return to the White House, which triggered currency depreciation across the yuan, ruble, real, rupee, and rand.

India Pushes Back on De-Dollarization

India has taken the firmest position against aggressive de-dollarization.

Foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated:

“De-dollarisation is not part of India’s financial agenda.”

Instead, India advocates a “derisking” strategy:

• Expanding trade in local currencies (e.g., deals with Russia, UAE, Maldives).

• Diversifying trade partners.

• Building alternative payment systems to reduce currency conversion risks.

Focus on Practical Mechanisms

With ambitions scaled back, BRICS is emphasizing realistic financial tools:

• BRICS Pay digital payment platform.

• New Development Bank as a financial stabilizer.

• Bilateral trade settlements in national currencies.

This gradualist approach underscores the bloc’s recognition that a radical break from dollar-based finance could destabilize global markets, while local mechanisms offer measured, sustainable progress.

 Key Takeaway

BRICS has pulled back from its boldest de-dollarization ambitions, shifting from a unified currency plan to localized trade solutions. By emphasizing stability and bilateral currency use, the bloc signals pragmatism — prioritizing gradual financial diversification over abrupt confrontation with the dollar.

Strategic Implications

• Dollar Challenge Delayed: The U.S. dollar’s global dominance faces no immediate threat, but localized settlements still chip away at its monopoly in trade finance.

• India as Power Broker: New Delhi’s push for “derisking” positions it as a moderating force, balancing ambition with market stability.

• Global Reset in Motion: Even without a BRICS currency, incremental steps toward local trade settlements lay the foundation for alternative financial infrastructures that could reshape global markets in the long run.

Jeff    All of the steps of global financial integration is also happening around the same time that we're pulling the troops out...We're going to have the troops pulled out from all federal government level bases and areas like the Green Zone and Baghdad permanently on September 15th.  The bases will be vacated...That is the United States positioning for Iraq to 
revalue...

Mnt Goat    Article:   "AN ECONOMIST PREDICTS THE NEXT GOVERNMENT WILL CHANGE THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE, AND EXPLAINS THE REASONS"  Quote:  "the salary bill accounts for the largest portion of oil revenues, leaving little for upgrading infrastructure or basic services."  This is why the US is requiring Iraq to diversify its economy and get off the sole revenue source of oil.  Oil fluctuates so much. This is why Iraq must get off the petro dollar...The real source is the petro dollar and sole peg of the dollar to the dinar...But what do they then peg the dinar to if not the dollar? The IMF already has a basket of currencies for the new peg. But this peg coincides with a reinstatement, it can’t be done unless the currency is traded globally.

Sandy Ingram   Syria is revaluing its currency and dropping two zeros.  This talk has been around for a long time for Iraq but Syria is actually doing it.  There's one slight problem.  Russia has been elected to ...print the currency...Russia is under international sanctions and that means some countries may not trade the Syrian pound...This dropping two zeros is big business...They'll have a new currency.  Both currencies will be in operation from December 8th to the last part of 2026.  We can only hope Iraq will draft the same type of revalue.

Massive Property Tax Fraud Exposed - $5.1 Trillion Bond Scam Will Crash System

Daniela Cambone:  8-27-2025

“I started noticing something was off in home appraisals,” says Mitch Vexler, whistleblower and expert on property valuations. He tells Daniela Cambone:

“They were inflating property values to jack up taxes, and that was feeding into trillions in school bond debt that I believe will spiral.”

On the scope of the problem, Vexler is blunt: “We’re talking about $5.1 trillion in school bonds that are based on these inflated appraisals. That’s massive—this is a ticking time bomb for local governments and taxpayers alike.”

He warns of consequences for the bond market: “School districts are relying on this debt, and if the real numbers catch up, there’s no way they can sustain these payments.

We’re looking at a potential collapse if nothing changes.”

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

112 Crypto Companies Urge Senate to Protect Developers in Market Structure Bill

Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple, a16z, and others press lawmakers to safeguard non-custodial services and open-source developers in upcoming legislation.

Coalition Calls for Clear Protections

A coalition of 112 crypto companies, investors, and advocacy groups has urged the U.S. Senate to include explicit protections for software developers and non-custodial service providers in the pending digital asset market structure bill.

The letter, sent Wednesday to the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees and led by the DeFi Education Fund, emphasized that the industry spoke “with one voice.” It warned that without protections, developers could be wrongly classified as financial intermediaries under outdated regulatory frameworks.

“Provide robust, nationwide protections for software developers and non-custodial service providers in market structure legislation. Without such protections, we cannot support a market structure bill,” the letter stated.

Signatories include Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple, a16z, Uniswap Labs, and nearly every major U.S. crypto lobbying group, from the Blockchain Association to the Chamber of Digital Commerce.

Regulatory Uncertainty Driving Talent Abroad

Industry leaders cautioned that without strong safeguards, the U.S. risks losing ground in open-source blockchain development.

Citing Electric Capital data, the letter highlighted a steep decline in America’s share of blockchain developers, falling from 25% in 2021 to just 18% in 2025 — a trend largely attributed to regulatory uncertainty.

To prevent innovation from leaving the country, the coalition called for explicit federal protections that would:

• Shield blockchain developers from misclassification.

• Prevent conflicting state-level regulations.

• Build on the bipartisan momentum seen in the CLARITY Act, which passed with overwhelming support.

Legislation Timeline

Senator Cynthia Lummis announced last week that a digital asset market structure bill is expected to reach President Donald Trump’s desk by year-end.

• September: Senate Banking Committee review

• October: Senate Agriculture Committee review

• Ahead of Thanksgiving: Possible Senate vote and delivery to the President

 The bill will also clarify how the SEC and CFTC divide oversight of crypto markets, a long-standing point of contention in U.S. regulation.

Kraken Meets With SEC Crypto Task Force to Discuss Tokenized Stocks and Bonds

Exchange giant explores U.S. regulatory framework for trading tokenized equities and ETFs, as traditional exchanges push back.

Kraken’s Tokenization Proposal

Kraken, one of the largest U.S.-based crypto exchanges, met this week with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force to discuss its proposal for a tokenized trading system.

A filing with the SEC shows the meeting focused on potential legal and regulatory frameworks for offering tokenized versions of traditional financial assets — including stocks, bonds, and ETFs — to U.S. investors.

This comes just months after Kraken unveiled its international plans to launch tokenized securities in select non-U.S. markets.

Global Expansion With Tokenized Equities

In May, Kraken announced a partnership with Backed, a tokenized equities issuer, to launch xStocks on the Solana (SOL) blockchain.

• xStocks provides tokenized versions of U.S.-listed equities and ETFs.

• The project is initially targeting non-U.S. clients, taking advantage of more flexible regulatory environments abroad.

• Kraken hopes to eventually bring a regulated version of these offerings into the U.S. market.

Pushback From Traditional Exchanges

The initiative comes at a time when traditional stock exchanges are lobbying regulators to impose strict limits on tokenized equities.

The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), representing global exchanges and clearing houses, sent a letter to the SEC last week outlining concerns.

WFE CEO Nandini Sukumar criticized tokenized stocks as a potential risk to investors:

“What we are seeing is a blatant attempt to circumvent regulation, with some firms seeking ‘no action’ relief from regulators or deliberately operating through legal grey areas. Most concerning is the risk to retail investors, who may be misled into believing they hold the same rights and protections as traditional shareholders. In many cases, they do not. Investor protection must remain paramount, and regulation must evolve to ensure that new technologies are not used as a mask for risk and opacity.”

Regulatory Crossroads

The SEC faces a critical decision point:

• Allow tokenized equities under strict new rules, potentially opening U.S. markets to blockchain-based securities.

• Maintain restrictions under pressure from traditional exchanges, which argue tokenization could undermine investor protections.

Kraken’s discussions highlight the growing tension between innovation in blockchain finance and the preservation of traditional market safeguards.

Key Takeaway

Kraken’s push to tokenize stocks and ETFs in the U.S. puts regulators at a crossroads: embrace blockchain-based securities with new safeguards, or restrict them to preserve traditional investor protections. The outcome will shape the future of tokenized finance in America.

Europe in Ruins: Why the ECB Won’t Save It This Time

Despite years of massive money printing, the eurozone is sinking into stagnation, debt dependency, and economic decline — leaving the European Central Bank powerless to stop the collapse.

A Systemic Crisis Across Europe

It’s not just France under François Bayrou that faces trouble — the entire eurozone is trapped in a systemic crisis. The European Central Bank (ECB), once hailed as the continent’s financial backstop, now finds its tools blunt.

Unlike in 2008, when monetary expansion provided temporary relief, the ECB’s latest injections have created a vicious cycle of stagnation and unsustainable debt that the printing press can no longer solve.

Monetary Expansion Without Growth

ECB data shows that in June 2025, the M2 money supply of the eurozone rose to €15 trillion, up 2.7% year-over-year.

Yet, this expansion delivered almost no real growth, a stark contrast to the U.S., where 4.5% monetary growth still produces ~2.5% GDP growth.

This gap reveals a structural failure:

• ECB liquidity fuels unproductive public spending instead of private investment.

• States become dependent on ECB bond purchases, depriving the private sector of financing.

• Europe’s economic system increasingly resembles a “monetary drip” keeping stagnant economies alive.

The Printing Press as Poison

The ECB’s policies have created a crowding-out effect:

• Governments absorb new liquidity, starving entrepreneurs of credit.

• Unproductive companies survive thanks to artificially low rates.

• Innovative firms struggle, weakening Europe’s long-term competitiveness.

This has led to the “zombification” of Europe’s economies, where outdated structures survive while innovation is suffocated.

The ECB as Fiscal Enabler

The ECB has drifted from its mandate of price stability, instead prioritizing the financing of sovereign debt.

This shift effectively turns the ECB into a fiscal policy instrument, propping up states while ignoring inflation risks.

History warns against this approach: between 1970 and 2011, despite central bank dominance, the world experienced 147 banking crises. Central banks often delay crises but amplify their severity — a cycle the ECB now replicates on a continental scale.

The Dependency Trap

Europe is now caught in a monetary dependency spiral:

1. Governments depend on ECB refinancing to survive.

2. ECB bond purchases enable irresponsible fiscal spending.

3. Economic capacity erodes, making states even more reliant on ECB support.

This cycle is unsustainable. By 2024, global public debt hit $102 trillion, with Europe among the most concerning cases. The continent now generates too little wealth to justify its debt levels. Only continuous ECB money creation maintains the illusion of solvency.

Bitcoin as an Alternative?

The failure of large-scale quantitative easing in Europe underscores the limitations of central bank-driven policies.

Sooner or later, Europe will be forced to confront reality:

• Drastic structural reforms — not perpetual monetary injections — are required to restore competitiveness.

• In this context, Bitcoin and decentralized assets may emerge as credible alternatives that governments cannot manipulate.

Key Takeaway

The eurozone is trapped in a cycle of debt dependency and stagnation that ECB money printing can no longer mask. Without radical reforms, Europe risks systemic collapse — opening the door for decentralized alternatives like Bitcoin to gain legitimacy as a safeguard against monetary failure.

XRP Expands in Asia as Linklogis Taps Ledger for $2.9B Supply Chain

China’s leading fintech firm selects XRPL to power its global supply chain finance platform, unlocking liquidity through tokenization.

XRPL Partners With Linklogis

XRP has secured a major win in Asia after Chinese fintech giant Linklogis announced a partnership with the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

The deal will see Linklogis integrate its supply chain finance platform onto the XRPL mainnet, enabling the circulation and cross-border settlement of digital assets tied to real-world trade flows.

Through the collaboration, trade assets such as invoices and receivables will be tokenized, giving businesses faster access to liquidity while boosting efficiency in global trade finance.

Driving $2.9B in Trade Assets

Linklogis is already a powerhouse in supply chain finance. In 2024, the firm processed RMB 20.7 billion ($2.9 billion) in cross-border assets across 27 countries.

By leveraging XRPL, Linklogis aims to:

• Expand business access to funding.

• Enhance transparency in trade financing.

• Streamline settlements for exporters, importers, and financiers.

The collaboration will also explore stablecoins, smart contracts, and AI integration — broadening innovation in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization within supply chains.

XRPL’s Growing Global Footprint

The partnership strengthens XRP’s reputation as a leader in tokenized finance:

• In the past month, XRPL’s tokenized RWA volume grew 22.81%, reaching $305.8 million, ranking it the ninth-largest blockchain by RWA value.

• In May 2025, the Dubai Land Department adopted XRPL for real estate tokenization.

• Across Latin America (notably Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina), XRP is increasingly used to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar in cross-border trade.

This rapid adoption signals rising confidence in XRP Ledger as global financial infrastructure, especially in emerging markets looking for alternatives to traditional currencies.

 Key Takeaway

XRP’s partnership with Linklogis marks a pivotal step in Asia’s digital finance evolution, embedding XRPL into a $2.9B supply chain platform. With expanding use cases in trade, real estate, and tokenized assets worldwide, XRP is positioning itself as a backbone for the next era of global settlement.

The branch also allows customers to speak directly with customer service representatives via audio and video, ensuring a more interactive and flexible banking experience and addressing customer needs immediately.

The Director of Marketing at the International Development Bank, Wissam Al-Amri, stated, "The launch of the smart branch reflects our commitment to placing our customers at the heart of our priorities by providing innovative and easy-to-use banking solutions that enable them to manage their financial needs efficiently and at any time. We believe this step represents a qualitative shift in banking services in Iraq and strengthens the International Development Bank's position as a leader in innovation and digital transformation."

With this pioneering step, the International Development Bank consolidates its position as the first Iraqi bank to launch a smart branch, keeping pace with global developments in the banking sector and affirming its commitment to providing the best financial solutions to its customers  link
