Tishwash: Al-Sudani's advisor identifies the reasons for the global rise in gold and reveals the value of Iraq's reserves.
On Tuesday, advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, revealed the reasons for the rise in global gold prices, noting that Iraq diversifies approximately 15% of its foreign currency reserves into gold.
Saleh told Shafaq News Agency, "There is a violent cycle of strategic asset cycles in the world, led by gold, which has broken the $4,000 barrier per ounce." He indicated that "the dollar has remained the dominant currency in dollar trade settlements since 1971 until today, dominating nearly 83% of the international payments system and about 50% or more of countries' official reserves."
He added, "Despite this, gold remains a standard component of diversifying the investment portfolios of central banks, including Iraq, which diversifies approximately 15% of the value of its foreign exchange reserves into gold. This conservative diversification is considered good in light of the fluctuations in foreign exchange value risks."
According to Saleh, "The reasons for the rise in gold prices, which has led to increased demand, are due to the fact that gold is considered a safe haven in a turbulent global system," noting that "geopolitical tensions (Ukraine, the Middle East, Taiwan, etc.) have increased market risks, prompting central banks and investors to turn to gold as an asset that is not dependent on political confidence."
He emphasized that "the erosion of confidence in the US dollar due to the rise in the US federal debt and the politicization of the use of the dollar in international sanctions has prompted many countries (especially China, Russia, India, Turkey, and a number of others) to diversify their reserves away from the US currency."
Saleh continued, "Gold has emerged as a monetary alternative in the post-dollar system. Since 2022, BRICS countries and countries of the Global South have been moving towards rebuilding their gold reserves as part of their strategy to reduce reliance on the dollar in inter-trade. China, in particular, purchased more than 300 tons of gold through the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2024 to bolster the gold yuan and cover part of its non-dollar reserves, and it continues to do so to a large extent."
Al-Sudani's advisor continued, "Gold is not treated as an ordinary commodity, but rather as a parallel reserve currency in the making, as it is considered relevant to global monetary policies. Declining expectations of a US interest rate cut have prompted investors to turn to gold, which undoubtedly retains its value as a safe haven."
Saleh concluded by saying, "The main reason behind the rise is China's recent rush to buy gold to propel its currency into the global currency club at the required speed, reinforced by the strategic asset of gold. This is the reason behind the rise in global gold prices, as it is the beginning of a currency war between China and the United States, and China versus the trade war between them, and the United States' threat to raise tariffs to 100% with China."
Gold prices have skyrocketed in Iraq over the past period, with the selling price of a 21-karat mithqal of gold in Baghdad's goldsmith shops reaching 820,000 dinars, while the selling price of a mithqal of Iraqi gold ranged between 780,000 and 790,000 dinars. In Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, 21-karat gold sold for 833,000 dinars, and 18-karat gold sold for 715,000 dinars. link

Tishwash: The Article 140 Implementation Committee informs the citizens
The committee to the citizens: Complete the deficiencies of your transactions in a week
The Article 140 Implementation Committee has issued a notice calling on all citizens whose transactions remain incomplete to visit the centers where they have previously completed their transactions within a week, in order to complete their work as soon as possible; The notice also applies to citizens whose transactions are incorrect.
The Article 140 Implementation Committee issued a notice on its social networking site on Monday, October 13, 2025, saying that after the completion of all transactions will be sent to the accounting department for the purpose of issuing compensation cheques.
Regarding the working hours of the committee stations, he explained that citizens can visit the stations on Saturdays from 8 am to 2 pm, but from Sunday to Thursday, from 8 am to 4 pm in all provinces and cities and towns will welcome citizens.
In this regard, Kakarash Sadiq, head of the Kirkuk office of Article 140 told Kurdistan 24, this is an administrative measure, the purpose is to complete the transactions of citizens who have problems in their transactions, preparations for the payment of compensation.
He added that more than 5,000 transactions of citizens remain, there are shortcomings and citizens should visit the centers of the Article 140 committee and complete their transactions within the period specified by the committee.
He said there are about 60,000 single-form transactions, which were displaced from the villages to the cities, this decision applies to them, who must visit the committee's bases to carry out their work.
Regarding the citizens who have received compensation cheques, Kakarash Sadiq said that 42,000 Kurdish citizens and 18,000 imported Arabs have been compensated, and those who remain are expected to be given compensation checks after the parliamentary elections and the approval of the annual budget. link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
Powell Hints at a Turning Point: Are the Days of High Rates Numbered? Today
In his NABE speech, Powell struck a more explicit tone than in recent speeches, tentatively flagging balance sheet limits, labor risks, and a path toward easing, without breaking precedent.
Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
Powell Hints at a Turning Point: Are the Days of High Rates Numbered? Today
In his NABE speech, Powell struck a more explicit tone than in recent speeches, tentatively flagging balance sheet limits, labor risks, and a path toward easing, without breaking precedent.
A More Direct Tone Than Before
On October 14 at the National Association for Business Economics conference in Philadelphia, Fed Chair Jerome Powell delivered remarks that went beyond what he said on October 9. He acknowledged that the U.S. economy “may be on a firmer trajectory than expected” while warning that the labor market remains weak.
Key elements from his speech:
He emphasized the tension between inflation pressures and employment weakness.
He signaled that the Fed may be getting close to pausing the shrinkage of its balance sheet (QT), citing signs of tightening liquidity such as firming repo rates.
He reinforced that future decisions will be meeting by meeting, relying on evolving data rather than committing to a pre-set path.
While his statements were more explicit than in his earlier community banking remarks, he avoided making any firm promises: no guaranteed rate cuts, no specific timeline, just cautious openness.
Was It More Encouraging for Americans?
Yes — but with important caveats.
What makes it more encouraging:
Clarity on balance sheet limits: The notion that quantitative tightening may be nearing its end suggests the Fed is preparing to transition from contraction to neutrality or gentle accommodation.
Recognition of labor fragility: By highlighting weak hiring, Powell shows awareness that policy must consider real economic stress, not just inflation metrics.
No rush but openness: The meeting-by-meeting approach suggests flexibility, leaving the door open for rate cuts if conditions warrant.
What limits the encouragement:
Delayed economic data: Because of the government shutdown, many key reports (jobs, CPI) are delayed. This “data blackout” makes it harder for any Fed signal to be decisive.
Inflation remains a threat: Powell continues to balance the risks of inflation getting out of control against supporting growth — the trade-off remains delicate.
No commitment to cuts: He didn’t promise rate cuts or quantify how close the Fed is to easing. The language remains conditional.
This speech is more overt than in recent days in signaling potential easing, more grounded in macro realities, and thus relatively more reassuring for Americans — but still cautious and noncommittal.
How It Aligns with our Changing Financial System
“This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.”
Monetary policy as geopolitical instrument: Powell’s handling of balance sheet, interest rates, and liquidity is not just economic — it’s a component of U.S. financial power in a global system under stress.
Subtle shifts matter: The move from tightening to signaling the end of QT is a behind-the-scenes recalibration of how money is deployed in markets — structural change in motion, not in obvious stunts.
Capital flows & dollar posture: As the U.S. adjusts, global investors and rival blocs (e.g. BRICS) can respond. Rate cuts or easier liquidity could weaken the dollar, shift yield arbitrage, and accelerate global rebalancing.
Policy legitimacy under pressure: Powell defended past bond purchases and institutional tools amid political criticism. That interplay underscores how even technical policy is a battleground in global finance.
In sum: the speech is a clearer signal of internal recalibration in U.S. monetary machinery — one small pivot in a larger transformation of global financial order.
What to Watch Next
Upcoming jobs & inflation reports (once the shutdown ends) — they’ll test whether Powell can follow through.
The Fed’s October meeting (Oct 28–29) — markets will see whether the subtle signals turn into action.
Reactions from regional Fed presidents and governors — to see where internal alignment is heading.
Global market flows and yield curves — how U.S. policy tilts might shift capital across borders.

BRICS Currency Backed by Gold and XRP Shows Impressive Progress
BRICS nations are advancing toward a gold-backed currency system utilizing XRP, signaling a significant shift in global financial dynamics.
Key Developments in BRICS Currency Initiative
Central Bank Engagement: BRICS central banks, alongside the New Development Bank, have been actively developing the XRP Ledger for years, focusing on features like escrow and automation to facilitate cross-border payments.
Brazil's Involvement: Brazil's central bank has published papers specifically naming Ripple in its tests of distributed ledger systems, and private sector projects in Brazil are already utilizing XRPL for tokenization and financing.
Russia and China's Strategy: Russia is working on tokenizing its gold reserves, while China is expanding its gold holdings to support a future financial system.
Global Implications
De-Dollarization Efforts: The BRICS initiative aims to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar by creating an alternative financial system that leverages gold and XRP.
Enhanced Trade Efficiency: Utilizing XRP's fast and cost-effective transaction capabilities, BRICS nations seek to streamline trade settlements across multiple payment corridors.
Geopolitical Shifts: This move represents a strategic alignment among BRICS countries to assert greater control over their financial systems and reduce vulnerability to external economic pressures.
Interpretation: A Quiet Revolution in Global Finance
The BRICS nations' shift towards a gold-backed currency system utilizing XRP signifies a deliberate and coordinated effort to establish a financial framework independent of traditional Western-dominated systems. This development underscores a broader trend of de-dollarization and the pursuit of financial sovereignty among emerging economies.
Why This Matters
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.
The integration of XRP into a gold-backed BRICS currency system represents a significant departure from conventional financial structures. By leveraging blockchain technology and precious metals, BRICS nations are crafting a resilient and efficient alternative to existing systems, potentially reshaping global trade and economic alliances.

Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin reports from Aruba that the London silver market is experiencing an unprecedented liquidity crisis, with massive backwardation and lease rates soaring above 100%, surpassing even the 1980 Hunt Brothers silver squeeze.
Schectman describes premiums on U.S. Silver Eagles and Gold Eagles skyrocketing as inventories across mints, refiners, and wholesalers dry up, creating what he calls a “broken market.”
He warns that the divergence between spot and futures prices is making it nearly impossible for dealers to hedge, leading some major wholesalers to temporarily halt trading.
According to Schectman, the stress on COMEX and LBMA signals a global shift toward physical metals as investors lose faith in paper contracts.
He advises buyers to cost average their positions rather than wait for a pullback, emphasizing that this time “feels different” and may mark the beginning of a systemic shift in the precious metals market.

The Next Economic Crisis is Not What you Think
The Next Economic Crisis is Not What you Think
Heresy Financial: 10-13-2025
Over the last three decades, financial crises have frequently blindsided the public. But what if these events weren’t random? What if they followed a predictable, escalating pattern—a deadly game of hot potato where the entity that absorbs the previous crisis inevitably becomes the epicenter of the next one?
A recent detailed analysis suggests that this cycle is real, and it points to a startling conclusion: after years of absorbing private and corporate failures, the government itself is now positioned as the next major economic domino.
The Next Economic Crisis is Not What you Think
Heresy Financial: 10-13-2025
Over the last three decades, financial crises have frequently blindsided the public. But what if these events weren’t random? What if they followed a predictable, escalating pattern—a deadly game of hot potato where the entity that absorbs the previous crisis inevitably becomes the epicenter of the next one?
A recent detailed analysis suggests that this cycle is real, and it points to a startling conclusion: after years of absorbing private and corporate failures, the government itself is now positioned as the next major economic domino.
Here is a breakdown of this repeating cycle and the critical steps you must take to protect your financial future in an era of manipulated money.
The pattern identified in the analysis is simple yet terrifying: the crisis is never truly solved; it is merely transferred, growing larger and moving closer to the core of the financial system with each iteration.
The cycle began with the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM). This highly leveraged hedge fund, relying on complex arbitrage strategies, imploded, threatening to drag down the global financial system.
For a decade, the risk resided primarily on the balance sheets of the largest global banks.
By 2008, the burden of transferred risk, combined with massive new risks generated by subprime mortgages, became too great. The epicenter shifted to the banks themselves.
The cost of saving the financial system was transferred directly to the public ledger.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, the economy faced an unprecedented shutdown. The epicenter shifted again, this time centered on the entity that had absorbed the previous crisis: the taxpayers (and by extension, the entire private economy).
This massive intervention was highly inflationary and successful at preventing an immediate depression, but it set the stage for the next and most severe crisis yet.
Following the pattern, the entity that absorbed the 2020 crisis—the government, via the national balance sheet—now holds the greatest risk.
The crisis we are facing now is a Sovereign Debt Crisis.
For years, governments have borrowed and spent far beyond their means, assuming that economic growth would outpace debt accumulation. Today, the reality is that the level of national debt has reached a point where the government’s ability to service or repay it through conventional means (like taxation) is questionable.
The inevitable risk is a sovereign default—a political and economic catastrophe that would shake the foundations of the global financial system.
When faced with the political impossibility of default, the Federal Reserve is expected to step in yet again. They will utilize monetary tools to prevent the government from collapsing under its debt load.
The government avoids default, but the individual pays the price: Inflation.
By injecting massive amounts of liquidity and artificially depressing the value of government debt, the value of every dollar you hold—and the value of those “safe” government bonds—is dramatically reduced. This is a deliberate, subtle devaluation of wealth.
In this environment of crisis transference and monetary manipulation, financial education is no longer optional—it is essential for survival. Protecting your wealth requires actively positioning yourself outside the traditional financial safety nets.
To shield yourself from the coming sovereign crisis and the resulting inflationary pressures, the expert analysis suggests a critical shift in portfolio construction:
The assets that have traditionally been considered the safest—cash and government debt—are now the most vulnerable to monetary policy manipulation.
The crisis cycle has finally reached the top of the chain. This is not a moment for passive investment; it is a moment for active defense. Understanding how risk is transferred and how central banks will react is the only way to safeguard your financial future against the cost of a debt-riddled government.

BRICS Rising: From Summits to Soft Power – Media & Expansion Take Center Stage
BRICS is moving beyond finance: its outreach in media, governance, and expansion is shaping an architecture of influence aligned with global financial change.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
BRICS Rising: From Summits to Soft Power – Media & Expansion Take Center Stage
BRICS is moving beyond finance: its outreach in media, governance, and expansion is shaping an architecture of influence aligned with global financial change.
Media Diplomacy Surges
Reuters maintains a dedicated BRICS section covering diplomatic, financial, and media moves, giving real-time insight into the bloc’s narrative-shaping.
At their 2025 summit in Rio, BRICS leaders agreed on statements to strengthen cooperation in AI, media governance, and global representation.
Russia has also floated a precious metals exchange concept within BRICS to counter Western-dominated trading platforms — a move that overlaps economic policy with messaging and structural autonomy.
Expansion, Mixed Messaging & Tariff Tensions
In June 2025, Vietnam was formally admitted as a partner country of BRICS, expanding the bloc’s footprint in Asia.
Brazilian President Lula has pushed for tighter trade and financial integration, citing tariffs as a tool of coercion — implicitly referencing U.S. protectionism.
Ahead of the summit, President Trump threatened a 10% tariff on countries aligning with “BRICS anti-American policies.” BRICS members pushed back, asserting they remain open to engagement with the West.
Structural Depth: Finance, Trade & Symbolism
Even Brazil cautions: it doesn’t believe BRICS has assets large enough to displace the dollar in the near term.
But at the same time, BRICS finance ministers issued a joint IMF reform proposal,
The Russian-led proposal for a BRICS Grain Exchange remains active in communiques — a strategic push to internalize trade in agricultural commodities.
Why This Matters
BRICS is evolving: not just as an anti-dollar coalition, but as a parallel ecosystem of trade, media, and governance influence.
By extending into narrative control, local institution-building, and soft-power alignment, the bloc is rewriting the rules of financial cooperation — and laying the groundwork for alternatives to Western dominance.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Tues. 14 Oct. 2025
Compiled Tues. 14 Oct. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington
Summary:
Reports concerning the Global Currency Reset (GCR) and the Quantum Financial System (QFS) often generate intense discussion across alternative news platforms.
Among the most prominent sources for these updates is Judy Byington, whose compilations offer a detailed timeline and roadmap for what proponents believe is an imminent, revolutionary shift in global finance and governance.
The report dated October 14, 2025, is particularly striking, setting forth an extremely aggressive timeline and outlining truly foundational changes—from the collapse of legacy institutions to the activation of entirely new systems for banking, health care, and even voting.
The overriding theme of the October 14th report is extreme urgency. Titled “Red October” and coinciding with “World Quantum Day,” the narrative suggests the final activation steps for the GCR are now underway.
According to statements reportedly circulated by “Trump Supporters on Telegram,” the “big day is almost here,” with final activation steps expected within 24 to 48 hours of the report date. This sets the stage for the official notification of the “New Financial Era.”
The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is the central pillar of this narrative. It is described not as a theoretical concept, but as an operational fact.
The shift is expected to be immediate and comprehensive, confirmed jointly by central banks worldwide, launching a new quantum-secured monetary system.
Beyond the technical switch of the monetary system, the report outlines the communication and citizen service infrastructure necessary to implement the reset. This involves a dramatic, orchestrated public announcement followed by personalized outreach.
The report suggests that the trigger for public mobilization will be the activation of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS), accompanied by the sound of “Seven Trumpets.”
Following this event, citizens are reportedly expected to receive multiple messages via their cell phones generated from the new Starlink Satellite System. These messages are crucial for accessing the next steps of the transition.
These Starlink messages will reportedly contain information for scheduling redemption center appointments. Historically, in GCR narratives, these centers were purely for exchanging foreign currency (like the Iraqi Dinar) or structured bonds.
The dramatic financial and communication shifts are framed within a military narrative of “liberation.” The report highlights a key operation:
This framing situates the financial reset within a broader political struggle, asserting that the QFS activation is part of a global effort led by the BRICS alliance and Trump.
The narrative portrays the shift not just as a financial upgrade, but as the culmination of a political and military campaign to dismantle the “old money grid” and usher in the “Restored Republic.”
The report compiled by Judy Byington is not merely an update; it is a declaration of finality. It details the complete operational takeover of the world’s financial infrastructure by the QFS, supported by unprecedented communication (Starlink/EBS) and backed by a military-political framework (WHITE SWAN).
Currency rates, debt adjustments, and the availability of advanced medical technology are all reportedly hours away from public rollout.
For followers of this narrative, the next 24 to 48 hours are poised to be the most significant in modern history. As always with predictions of this magnitude, the professional world watches, noting the specific claims and timelines asserted by proponents of the Global Currency Reset.

Militia Man Article Quote: "Non-oil revenues are to equate from 2024 11% growth." When Vietnam was rocking and rolling big time a few years ago, it was 5%-6% growth and it was the hottest emerging market. They're talking about 11%. That's probably why you see so much activity right now because the writing is on the wall. Iraq is going to explode. 11% GDP is massive.
Frank26 The streets of Iraq are flooded with monetary reform education. There's a lot of talk. You could call it rumors. You could call it scuttlebutt...hearsay...they say, she say, whatever say, but they all say pretty much the same thing...In the streets, I believe there's a need for them to talk an awful lot about this...Everybody knows it's no secret...
Nader From The Mid East With me...I'm going to tell you the truth. Sometimes it hurts but it's life...When I said before, it's after the election, it's not before...Why? Cuz they use the election as a bargain...'If you want purchase power, you have to vote for me.' That's what they saying exactly on TV. You can see it in the debates and everything...The election starts in the end of next month.

The meetings were held on the sidelines of his participation in the Sharm el-Sheikh conference in the Arab Republic of Egypt on the situation in Gaza.
A statement from his office, a copy of which was received by {Euphrates News}, stated that: “Al-Sudani met with the kings of Jordan and Bahrain, the presidents of Palestine, Azerbaijan, and Cyprus, the German chancellor, and the heads of governments of Britain, Spain, Italy, Greece, and Armenia.”
He added, "During the meetings, Al-Sudani discussed joint relations, ways to develop them in various fields, and the importance of developing prospects for joint cooperation in a way that brings mutual benefit to brotherly and friendly peoples."
The statement continued, "The meetings also addressed the steps taken to end the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, the need to work to maintain a ceasefire against civilians, and the need for major powers, Arab and international organizations and institutions to play their part in rebuilding Gaza and providing basic needs for Palestinian civilians."
During the meetings, Al-Sudani emphasized "the need for international efforts to reduce tensions and escalation in the region and around the world," calling for "the importance of strengthening dialogue and finding solutions based on international law to address everyone's concerns, including the existing disputes between Iran and Western countries over the nuclear issue and other issues." link

Tishwash: Al-Awadi: The Prime Minister's participation in the Sharm El-Sheikh Summit is a clear message about Iraq's regional role
Government spokesman Bassem Al-Awadi confirmed today, Monday, that the participation of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani in the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit on Gaza comes within the framework of emphasizing the importance of Iraq's regional role and its firm position towards the Palestinian issue.
Al-Awadi said in a statement to Al-Iraqiya News, which was followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the presence of a large number of heads of state at this summit would not have happened without the great importance of the Palestinian issue, as well as the international community's growing awareness of the importance of the Iraqi role in the region."
He added, "Iraq cannot be informed of the truth about the agreements and initiatives proposed regarding Gaza and the region, without the actual presence of the Prime Minister, which allows him to be directly informed and participate in formulating positions".
He added, "Iraq officially went to the Sharm El-Sheikh summit to confirm its clear position on the necessity of stopping the killing of civilians in Arab and Islamic countries, especially Palestine, lifting the siege on Gaza, stopping forced displacement, and starting reconstruction".
He explained that "the Prime Minister's participation in the summit is to confirm Iraq's firm and decisive position that the Palestinian people have the right to live on their land freely and with dignity," stressing that "this issue is not negotiable, and the Palestinian people must be granted the right to self-determination."
He also pointed out that "the Iraqi government believes in the importance of dialogue and understandings as a way to find a real balance in the region, and warns that failure to adhere to these paths will expose existing agreements to collapse".
Al-Awadi explained, "Through his participation, the Prime Minister seeks to meet with the largest possible number of leaders and officials to exchange views, explain Iraq's firm position, in addition to inviting leaders to visit Baghdad and enhance bilateral cooperation."
Al-Awadi said, "There is a clear international view of Iraq's return to its influential regional role and the balance of its presence on pivotal issues, which is confirmed even by the United States, which believes that Iraq is witnessing development and reconstruction and has become the focus of the region's attention, and its position on the Palestinian issue is clear and firm." link

The Hidden Cost of a Shutdown: When Politics Freezes the U.S. Economy
As Washington’s government shutdown drags on, economic ripples are spreading—not just domestically, but across global markets and confidence in U.S. leadership.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
The Hidden Cost of a Shutdown: When Politics Freezes the U.S. Economy
As Washington’s government shutdown drags on, economic ripples are spreading—not just domestically, but across global markets and confidence in U.S. leadership.
Economic Data Goes Dark
The U.S. government shutdown entered its 13th day, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned the closure is “beginning to harm the real economy.”
With the shutdown, key agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Commerce Department, and Census Bureau have suspended their operations, halting release of critical economic indicators.
A Reuters analysis also flagged that “a shutdown could affect financial markets by limiting regulator operations and delaying publication of key economic data,” thereby reducing visibility for investors and central banks.
Ripples of Confidence & Credibility
The IRS announced over 34,000 employees (≈46% of its workforce) would be furloughed during the shutdown, hampering tax operations and citizen services.
Markets reacted with nervousness: U.S. index futures slid amid concerns the U.S. shutdown would cloud the Fed’s next rate path by suppressing data flows.
Fitch Ratings, however, maintained that in the near term, the shutdown is “unlikely to affect sovereign ratings,” while acknowledging uncertainty and institutional strain.
Global Context: The Governance Gap
As U.S. paralysis deepens, observers in emerging and developing economies see a reinforcement of arguments for diversified global governance—where dependence on Washington’s stability is too risky.
Political dysfunction in the U.S. is being interpreted in some financial circles as evidence that the era of unquestioned fiscal leadership is waning.
Why This Matters
This isn’t merely a budget fight — it’s a test of U.S. institutional resilience. The longer critical functions remain offline, the louder the signal to the rest of the world: monetary and structural dependency on the U.S. is a strategic vulnerability.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Gold’s Comeback: The Silent Vote Against Dollar Dominance
As BRICS nations push alternative financial paradigms, global players are rediscovering gold as a neutral anchor in turbulent times.
Gold’s Strategic Resurgence
Central banks are on pace to buy 1,000+ metric tons of gold in 2025 — their fourth consecutive year of heavy accumulation.
Global gold demand rose 3% in Q2 2025 (to ~1,248.8 metric tons) driven by a 78% surge in investment demand, according to the World Gold Council.
In parallel, physical gold ETFs hit record inflows in the first half of 2025, reinforcing investor appetite for safe-haven exposure.
De-Dollarization & Hedge Demand
With the dollar’s global reserve share slipping, gold becomes a logical diversification asset — especially for nations and institutions seeking refuge from currency volatility or political interference.
Reuters noted that gold hit a fresh record (over $4,000/oz) amid mounting U.S.–China trade tensions and expectations of Fed rate cuts.
Another Reuters piece emphasized that “anxieties over global geopolitical and economic risks are the biggest drivers pushing gold’s 54% surge this year.”
Market Narrative & Forecasts
Bank of America has raised its gold forecast to $5,000/oz by 2026, citing persistent demand as a hedge.
Reuters framed gold now as the “hedge-everything” trade: it thrives when investors fret over inflation, economic slowdowns, or geopolitical risk.
Why This Matters
Gold’s ascent is more than a cyclic rebound — it’s a structural recalibration. Each tonne acquired, each ETF inflow, each central bank purchase is a tacit vote against overreliance on the dollar.
While the U.S. remains a central pillar, its dominance is being tested not just by alternatives — but by assets that transcend them.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

China’s Export Boom Defies Tariffs: Beijing Rewires Global Trade Beyond Washington’s Reach
September data shows China’s export machine remains strong despite 100% U.S. tariffs — signaling a rapid pivot toward new markets and the rise of a multipolar trade network.
Resilient Trade in a Fractured World
China’s exports rose 8.3% year-on-year in September, beating forecasts and marking the fastest growth since March.
Imports also jumped 7.4%, reflecting both restocking and improving demand from developing markets.
Analysts note that Beijing’s export diversification is offsetting tariff pain as the U.S. share of China’s trade continues to decline.
“China is adapting faster than expected,” said Xu Tianchen of the Economist Intelligence Unit. “100% tariffs will bite, but the effect won’t mirror the shock of 2018.”
Tariffs as a Political Lever — and a Catalyst for Diversification
President Donald Trump’s 100% tariffs on Chinese goods — announced last week — revived fears of another trade war.
Beijing retaliated by tightening export controls on rare earth elements and enhancing oversight of semiconductor users.
Exports to ASEAN, Africa, and Latin America rose sharply, while shipments to the U.S. fell to under 10% of total exports — a historic low.
This marks a decisive stage in Beijing’s de-dollarization and south-south trade realignment — the architecture of a new multipolar economy taking shape.
Markets Adjust to the Split Supply Chain
Shipments to India and Southeast Asia hit record highs, showing that regional integration is accelerating even as global supply chains fragment.
Meanwhile, South Korea’s export data reflected muted demand from China, underscoring Beijing’s continued domestic challenges.
China’s trade surplus narrowed to $90.45 billion, down from $102.3 billion in August — a reflection of rising import appetite and global rebalancing.
The numbers show not isolation, but substitution — the creation of new trade corridors that weaken U.S. leverage and strengthen regional interdependence.
The Road Ahead: Tariff Truce and Global Realignment
The 90-day tariff truce between Beijing and Washington expires November 9.
Economists warn that without a new framework, both sides risk renewed uncertainty heading into 2025.
Beijing’s policy push — including a 500 million yuan infrastructure credit program — aims to sustain export-led growth through the turbulence.
China’s ability to adapt under pressure shows that the global trade map is no longer dictated from Washington, but negotiated through multipolar alliances.
Why This Matters
China’s export resilience — despite aggressive tariffs — signals a deeper transformation in how global trade functions.
The U.S. can no longer rely on tariff leverage alone; the world is rebalancing supply chains and currencies at once.
In this multipolar era, trade resilience equals geopolitical power.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
GAIN Act: Senate Pushes Trade Rule That Could Shake the AI Chip Industry
As Washington moves to prioritize domestic markets in AI chip exports, a critical battleground opens between sovereignty and globalization in tech.
Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
GAIN Act: Senate Pushes Trade Rule That Could Shake the AI Chip Industry
As Washington moves to prioritize domestic markets in AI chip exports, a critical battleground opens between sovereignty and globalization in tech.
What the GAIN Act Does — and What It Upends
The U.S. Senate passed the GAIN Act (as part of the 2026 defense & tech bill), mandating that AI chip manufacturers must fulfill U.S. orders before any foreign exports. (CoinTribune)
Export license bans may be imposed on “most advanced circuits,” giving the government discretionary power to block overseas shipments.
The law mirrors the logic of the Patriot Act, treating advanced semiconductors as dual-use technologies essential to national security.
🌱 This is more than trade policy — it reframes chips as sovereignty assets. The state reclaims control over technology flow in defense of strategic dominance.
Winners, Losers & Strategic Fault Lines
U.S. firms gain preferential access to domestic markets — especially leaders like NVIDIA, AMD, and AI hardware providers.
Foreign partners and tech startups may suffer disruption or exclusion from global supply chains.
Crypto miners and distributed computing users are affected: GPUs are essential components for many blockchain networks, and restrictions may raise costs or limit access.
🌱 This is technological containment as power play: one side builds walls, the other must adapt or reroute. The cycle of innovation is being gated by security.
How This Tattoo Matches the Global Reset
The GAIN Act comes just as BRICS and other nations pursue monetary and digital sovereignty. The U.S. is now applying similar logic to tech: retaining control over advanced systems.
This pivot echoes broader themes: the world is fragmenting into competing spheres of regulation, trust, and control, not just shared markets.
Legislation like the GAIN Act complements your earlier themes — whether it’s finance or technology, authority is being restructured around strategic domains.
Risks, Pushback & Unintended Consequences
Innovation chill: Overregulation may slow global AI progress, as talent moves to jurisdictions with freer regimes.
Diplomatic blowback: Allies and trade partners might see this as techno-mercantilism, fueling pushback or retaliatory regulation.
Supply chain strain: Many chip production components are multinational. Restricting trade flows could fracture the supply web and cause bottlenecks.
Why This Matters
The GAIN Act doesn’t just regulate chips — it signals how the U.S. intends to defend its technological hegemony in a fracturing world. As capital, currency, and data realign globally, tech becomes another axis in the reshaping of sovereignty.
• In tech as in finance, the question is not if structures will change — but who sets the architecture.
• As nations reassert control over money, data, and innovation, multi-domain sovereignty is quietly being redrawn.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance and tech restructuring before our eyes.

Dollar in Danger: BRICS Currency Launch Accelerates the Global Shift Away from the U.S. Dollar
The new BRICS financial architecture is accelerating rapid de-dollarization — and Washington’s response through domestic digital currency laws underscores how global power is shifting beneath the surface.
A Rapid, Measurable Decline in Dollar Dominance
The dollar’s share of global reserves has fallen steadily — from 73% in 2001 to around 54% in 2025, according to the IMF. The trend is no longer theoretical; it’s systemic.
Now, with BRICS nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and new partners such as Indonesia — accounting for nearly 40% of global GDP (PPP), the dollar’s dominance is facing its most serious structural challenge in decades.
🌍 De-dollarization is no longer a warning — it’s an active transition, powered by new digital payment systems and the development of local-currency trade mechanisms across BRICS economies.
Three Systems Are Reshaping Global Trade
While BRICS leaders stopped short of announcing a single currency for 2025, their coordinated actions are clear:
Bilateral trade in national currencies has accelerated since sanctions on Russia reshaped global settlement networks.
The BRICS Cross-Border Payments Initiative is building a SWIFT alternative immune to Western sanctions.
A new BRICS Grain Exchange aims to conduct commodity trading — especially in agriculture — using national currencies instead of the dollar.
“BRICS countries repeatedly emphasize they are firmly against using currencies — the U.S. dollar in particular — as a foreign policy weapon.”
(Kelly Bogdanova, RBC Wealth Management)
These mechanisms represent monetary sovereignty in motion — a foundational shift away from the U.S.-centric system that defined postwar finance.
Tariffs Accelerate the Breakaway
Washington’s recent tariff escalation has only hastened coordination within the BRICS bloc.
U.S. tariffs on Brazil and India were interpreted as economic sanctions.
China cut U.S. Treasury holdings by 27% since 2022.
Central banks purchased over 1,000 tonnes of gold annually for reserve diversification.
“We are witnessing a simultaneous collapse in the price of all U.S. assets… The market is rapidly de-dollarising.”
(George Saravelos, Deutsche Bank)
The U.S. is now confronting the ripple effect of its own monetary weaponization.
Every tariff and sanction has become a catalyst for the creation of alternative systems — a global firewall against the dollar’s political use.
Digital Infrastructure Powers the Transition
Technology is doing what politics once resisted.
China’s digital yuan is operational.
BRICS Pay pilot programs and the Bridge settlement platform are expanding.
The New Development Bank recently launched a Multilateral Guarantee Mechanism — funding infrastructure and climate projects in local currencies, not dollars.
“India does not aim to undermine the dollar but seeks practical alternatives for trade settlements where necessary.”
(S. Jaishankar, India’s External Affairs Minister)
India’s position is pragmatic — not anti-dollar, but pro-autonomy.
It underscores how even U.S. partners are seeking monetary flexibility as the financial order transitions toward multipolarity.
BRICS Expansion and the New Balance of Power
The 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro (July 2025) was historic:
Indonesia joined as a full member.
Eleven new partner nations — including Nigeria, Thailand, and Vietnam — entered cooperation agreements.
The bloc now represents nearly half the global population (47.9%).
With India set to lead the 2026 presidency, priorities are shifting to financial reform, digital governance, and climate-linked finance — all structured to reduce dependency on the dollar-based system.
“The multipolar world is already here.”
(Gen. Mark Milley, former U.S. Joint Chiefs Chairman)
The balance of power is no longer anchored in Washington or Wall Street — it’s distributed across digital networks, trade corridors, and emerging alliances.
The Road Ahead
Analysts forecast the dollar’s reserve share could decline to 40–45% by 2040 under a gradual shift — or below 30% by 2030 in the event of U.S. debt or political shocks.
Foreign buying of Treasuries continues to fall, yields are climbing, and the dollar’s reputation as a safe haven is eroding.
The BRICS financial network — through digital platforms, gold accumulation, and local currency swaps — is now a functioning alternative ecosystem.
Whether the transition remains orderly depends on how quickly substitute systems scale and how Washington adapts through domestic innovation, including tokenized dollar initiatives.
Why This Matters
This story is not just about finance — it’s about power redistribution.
The BRICS currency evolution and rapid de-dollarization trend mark the beginning of a post-dollar era, one defined by parallel systems of settlement, trade, and governance.
If the U.S. cannot adapt its economic model and regulatory infrastructure, the Genius and Clarity Acts — which seek to digitize and protect the dollar’s role — may prove too slow to counter this transformation.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

There Was Once A Time When Congress Cared About Literally Every Penny—
There Was Once A Time When Congress Cared About Literally Every Penny—
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) October 13, 2025
As the clock struck midnight on July 1, 1848, Ohio Congressman Samuel Vinton probably started having a minor panic attack. Viton was Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, the Congressional body that, at least at the time, was responsible for all taxation and spending appropriations. Anything that got spent-- or didn’t get spent-- was Vinton’s domain.
The United States was just coming out of a war in the year 1848-- the Mexican War, in which the US invaded Mexico and wound up with 525,000 square miles of new territory as a result.
There Was Once A Time When Congress Cared About Literally Every Penny—
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) October 13, 2025
As the clock struck midnight on July 1, 1848, Ohio Congressman Samuel Vinton probably started having a minor panic attack. Viton was Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, the Congressional body that, at least at the time, was responsible for all taxation and spending appropriations. Anything that got spent-- or didn’t get spent-- was Vinton’s domain.
The United States was just coming out of a war in the year 1848-- the Mexican War, in which the US invaded Mexico and wound up with 525,000 square miles of new territory as a result.
Several members of Congress thought the war unjust and unconstitutional. One critic, in fact, was a little-known politician from the state of Illinois named Abraham Lincoln, who often spoke passionately on the House floor against what he viewed as clear aggression.
Others in Lincoln’s party-- the Whigs, who were essentially proto-Republicans-- winced at the immense cost of the war.
By 1848 the costs of the Mexican War were at least four times what the Democrat-controlled War Department had originally promised. And the Whigs were tired of it.
In one heated exchange that took place on March 20, 1848, after a senior Treasury official had meekly described the enormous war costs as “mistakes” and “miscalculations”, one conservative senator blasted his colleagues saying,
“Our [federal government] expenditures have become so enormous that a few ‘mistakes’ in the calculations of the Treasury Department-- a few mere slips of the pen-- involve a larger amount than the whole annual expenditure during the administration of [President Andrew] Jackson [in 1836].”
In other words, simply the cost overruns for the year 1848 were MORE than the entire federal budget just twelve years earlier.
The Whigs put their foot down and refused to vote on any further appropriations until there was a full audit of the war costs.
At the time, the federal government’s fiscal year ran from July 1 through June 30 (as opposed to now, the fiscal year runs from October 1 through September 30).
So as the June 30 deadline became closer, House Ways and Means Chairman Samuel Vinton became increasingly anxious.
Back then the federal government was much smaller, so there weren’t anywhere near as many programs that required Congressional funding as exist today. But there were still important government functions that needed money-- including the Army.
Vinton knew that he was responsible for passing the Army’s funding bill. So in session after session, he practically begged his colleagues to PLEASE vote on it.
Yet his cries fell on deaf ears. And at 12:01 am on July 1, 1848, the Army was ‘defunded’ by the 30th United States Congress for the first time.
Ultimately the Whigs wanted greater financial accountability of war costs, plus a drastic downsizing of the Army back to peacetime levels-- two perfectly reasonable asks. The Democrats finally caved several weeks later, and the stalemate ended on August 7, 1848, when Congress passed HR 618-- “an act making appropriations for the support of the Army [for Fiscal Year 1849].”
It’s notable that the Army’s entire budget from that appropriations bill was less than $8 million, with some ridiculously specific line items-- like $1,127,428.56 for food, subsistence, and provisions. They seriously added the fifty-six cents! It’s amazing that Congress actually cared about literally every penny back then.
Unfortunately, 1848 wasn’t the last time that Congress had a budget stalemate; in fact, it became typical for Congress to NOT pass appropriations bills before the Fiscal Year-end.
But whenever this happened, most federal agencies (including the military) had leftover money from the previous year to keep themselves funded for an extra month or so. Worst case the Treasury would advance them funds.
The bottom line is that no one ever had to ‘shut down’.
This changed in 1980. For most of his Presidential administration, Jimmy Carter had been at odds with Congress. And on April 25th that year, he asked his Attorney General, Benjamin Civiletti, to issue formal guidance about the possibility of a government shut down.
Civiletti complied and reinterpreted some obscure legislation from 1884 to conclude that no government agency would be allowed to operate unless it received formal appropriations from Congress.
Carter intended to use this legal interpretation as leverage to pressure Congress about proposed FTC legislation. Instead it backfired, and the first-ever government shutdown took place on May 1, 1980.
And ever since, thanks to Carter and his Attorney General, the US government is now under the threat of shutdown every single year.
In the past, most shutdowns (or at least funding gaps) have been because of specific disputes; in 1980 it was about the authority of the FTC. In 1848 it was over excess war spending.
But today’s shutdown is different. First-- it was totally preventable. And second, it’s not about a single issue (including the supposed Obamacare tax credit, which will almost certainly be extended).
Today’s shutdown is because two sides absolutely hate each other and refuse to work together.
Personally, I’m not losing any sleep over the Department of Commerce having to furlough employees. And frankly I don’t believe that any “non-essential” government job should even exist.
But the whole thing is a gigantic stain on the credibility of the US government.
This matters. Foreigners own $10+ trillion worth of US government bonds. It’s the very basis of America’s economic power abroad, and why the US dollar is the global reserve currency. Confidence in the US government is paramount in maintaining this system.
Foreign creditors tend to notice things like a full-blown government shutdown. And the fact that Congress is willing to burn everything down just to spite the other side.
Who would possibly want to continue buying US Treasury bonds when the federal government isn’t even willing to keep itself open for business?
Confidence is waning rapidly. And frankly we can see this in the price of gold, which just surpassed $4,100 as I write this. It’s not a speculative bubble; rather it’s a sad reflection of Congress’s collapsing credibility. And that credibility probably isn’t improving anytime soon.

October 2025
We live in interesting times, don’t we? The world feels like it’s shifting, and sometimes the most profound insights come from voices that cut through the noise of everyday headlines.
That’s exactly what we find in the latest episode of the Jon Dowling podcast, featuring retired Army veteran Mr. Thomas J. Lennox. This isn’t your average financial discussion; it’s a deep dive into the very foundations of our global systems, laced with historical revelations and a glimpse into a future that might sound like science fiction, but is being presented as tangible reality.
Mr. Lennox, with his unique blend of military discipline and financial acumen, takes us on a remarkable journey.
He dissects the intricate workings of geopolitical and financial systems, shining a spotlight on entities that often operate just beyond our everyday awareness. We’re talking about the legendary St. Germaine Trust, the enigmatic IRS, the powerful Federal Reserve, and crucially, the much-talked-about impending global financial reset.
One of the most compelling aspects of the conversation is Lennox’s ability to connect historical dots. He delves into the origins of seemingly mundane documents like the U.S. birth certificate, revealing layers of meaning we might never have considered. O’
He lifts the curtain on the Federal Reserve, suggesting it’s not what it appears to be – hinting at its private ownership and its pivotal role in the financial landscape.
For those who have felt a sense of unease about the current economic system, Lennox offers a perspective that suggests a deliberate dismantling of the IRS and the fiat currency system is already underway.
The sheer scope of the St. Germaine Trust is mind-boggling. Lennox speaks of massive hidden wealth, purportedly worth quadrillions, and its potential role in funding transformative global financial reforms like NESARA and GESARA.
This isn’t just about money; it’s about the possibility of a radical shift in how wealth is distributed and managed on a global scale.
But the transformation doesn’t stop at financial restructuring. Lennox paints a picture of the future: a transition to a Quantum Financial System (QFS). This isn’t just another digital currency; it’s a system backed by tangible assets like gold, silver, platinum, and copper.
He explains how this will replace our current, often fragile, banking systems with a transparent, secure, biometric-based digital currency, managed through specialized phones. Imagine a financial future where security and transparency are paramount.
The episode also ventures into the realm of classified military financial complexities. Lennox offers a fascinating explanation for why military audits often falter, attributing it to fragmented budgeting and accounting systems that are far more complex than we might imagine.
As the episode draws to a close, Mr. Lennox offers a message of hope and readiness. He reflects on the ongoing transformation, urging listeners to prepare spiritually and financially for the changes that lie ahead. This is not a call to panic, but an invitation to awareness and informed preparation.
This Jon Dowling podcast episode with Thomas J. Lennox is a must-listen for anyone who feels the currents of change and seeks a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our world. It challenges conventional thinking and opens the door to a future that is both intriguing and potentially revolutionary.
For the full, in-depth insights and further information, be sure to watch the complete video from Jon Dowling. You might just find yourself looking at the world – and its future – with entirely new eyes.

Is it true that Iraq’s Central Bank just rolled out those new 50-, 100-, and 200-dinar notes, ditching the low-denomination junk to clean up circulation and signal “we’re serious about stability.”?
We will see. Because it definitely appears that way. Rate’s hovering at 1,320 IQD to the buck, but that’s the street price the official’s tighter at 1,300.
Come next week’s IMF review (Article IV consultation drops October 18), eyes will lock on Baghdad. They’ve been teasing a “redenomination” lop off three zeros, so 25,000 IQD becomes 25 IQD without touching your wallet’s power.
Is a full reval in the cards? Damn right it’s plausible. Oil’s at $85/barrel, exports ramping to 4.5 million bpd, and with Gaza quiet, Iraq slots into that “peace dividend” pipeline.
IMF’s been whispering about basket pegs tying the dinar to a gold-oil-USD mix. If they greenlight it, expect a bump to 1,000:1 or better by Q1 ’26. Not pie-in-the-sky; it’s logistics.
Banks are prepping exchange facilities right now. 1:1 & 3:1 and higher is what I am looking at. We are in great shape people. Do not let up now.
Sequence matters, folks: Peace locks in the borders, investment floods the rebuild (think $100B in Gulf sovereign funds alone), trade explodes via Abraham Accords 2.0, and then bam currency resets ripple out.
Dinar holders, you’ve waited 20 years through the scams; this ain’t one. It’s the domino tipping first.
Global Ripples
Iraq’s dinar reval? First brick in the wall. Gaza peace cascades: Lebanon stabilizes, Syria rebuilds, Iran joins the table sans sanctions.
We’re not just ending wars; we’re ending the war on wealth itself.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Ten Major Banks Explore Unified Stablecoin Alliance
Traditional banking giants are quietly forming a consortium to issue digital tokens pegged to fiat — a possible turning point in monetary power.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Ten Major Banks Explore Unified Stablecoin Alliance
Traditional banking giants are quietly forming a consortium to issue digital tokens pegged to fiat — a possible turning point in monetary power.
What’s Actually Unfolding
A coalition of ten prominent banks — including Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Citi, Barclays, MUFG, TD Bank, Santander, and BNP Paribas — is reportedly exploring the issuance of a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to G7 currencies.
Their stated goal: to test whether blockchain-based, fiat-backed digital assets can combine payment efficiency with regulatory compliance and risk control.
The banks are in coordination with regulators and supervisors in markets where they operate, aiming to design a framework that balances innovation with stability.
Why This Matters — The Stakes Are High
If such a stablecoin gains traction, it would allow global banks to control money creation and flow via a digital platform — shifting influence from central banks and payments networks toward private institutions.
The effort represents an attempt to merge control with liquidity: rather than competing in the back end, these banks may jointly own the rails.
It also signals financial institutions taking a direct hand in monetary infrastructure, not just financing — blurring the lines between banking, currency, and payments.
Challenges & Open Questions
Regulatory uncharted territory: Even supportive authorities will demand clarity on reserve backing, audits, redemption protections, and systemic safeguards.
Trust & adoption: Winning public trust is even harder than building the system. If users fear failure or expropriation, adoption could stall.
Interoperability vs fragmentation: Will this new system remain separate, or integrate with current rails (SWIFT, Fedwire, etc.) — or compete?
Power concentration risk: A few banks controlling currency rails may raise concerns about collusion, data privacy, and undue leverage.
Where This Fits in the Bigger Reset
This effort is part of a broader pattern: traditional banks moving from intermediaries to infrastructure owners.
In parallel, SWIFT is developing its own blockchain payments platform, teaming with Bank of America and Citigroup to support tokenized transactions.
The move toward institutional stablecoins complements other shifts: Canton Network, institutional blockchain initiatives, and tokenization of bonds and assets.
If successful, this stablecoin could act as a new monetary backbone — one managed by banks instead of central banks, especially in a multilateral world of competing financial blocs.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just fintech hype — it’s a strategic bet on who will own the future of money.
The seeds of financial sovereignty are being planted not by states alone, but by private capital institutions assembling new currency power.
As this system grows, existing monetary hierarchies may erode — making sovereignty, infrastructure control, and trust the true new currencies.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.
