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

 8/29/2025

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

The digital economy in Iraq: 10 million bank cards and 15 trillion dinars in payments

8/30/2025

The Eco Iraq Observatory, which specializes in economic affairs, announced on Saturday that the number of active bank cards in the country has exceeded 10 million, indicating the rapid expansion towards a digital economy.

The observatory quoted the Baghdad Council for Digital Transformation and Electronic Payments, in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, as saying, "The qualitative transformation in the electronic payment sector is due to the policies of the Central Bank of Iraq and the government's support for this process."

According to the council, the volume of digital payments exceeded 15 trillion Iraqi dinars, including 1.7 trillion dinars for customs, while the remaining transactions were distributed across various other sectors.

The Council emphasized that "electronic payment companies are non-banking financial institutions whose mission is limited to executing transfers without storing funds or opening accounts," noting that "these companies have directly contributed to building the infrastructure for this transformation."

He pointed out that "the ongoing reforms in the banking system aim to consolidate governance and strengthen the foundations of the country's digital economy." LINK

The modern world is wired together by one metal: copper. The electrical grid is one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Copper is the b***d that keeps it alive.

No copper → no grid.
No grid → no modern world.

Every city, every light, every movement of power flows through copper veins carved from the earth. When copper moves, the economy breathes. When it stops, the world stalls. Focus on high-grade situations in good locations… That will be the next floodgate to open.

Triple-Digit Silver Imminent? Critical Mineral, Backwardation & Remonetization | Mike Maloney

8-29-2025

Silver has just soared to its highest levels in nearly 14 years—and by broader measures, it's smashing 2,500-year records.

This isn't just a flash in the pan—it's a seismic shift. Here's what you need to know:

 Monetary demand ignites: Central banks are remonetizing silver, with power players like Saudi Arabia and Russia leading the charge.

Backwardation signals: Spot prices exceed futures—one of the strongest indicators yet of market tightness.

Critical mineral recognition: Silver now appears on the U.S. 2025 critical minerals draft list—amid rising supply risks due to it being a byproduct of other metal extraction.

 Market scale is small: The entire silver market pales in comparison to major companies like Amazon. Expect premiums, tight deliveries, and rising institutional demand.

Chart breakouts hint at triple-digit territory: Mike tracks cup-and-handle patterns, historic highs, and long-running technical formations indicating a surge may be underway.

Don’t miss it—Mike believes we’re on the verge of a triple-digit silver rally, backed by renewed demand, scarce supply, and monumental market psychology shifts.

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.

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.

Countries 1–10: Peru, Chile, Finland, Kazakhstan, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Uruguay, Spain, Singapore, Croatia. These nations test adaptability — from resource-rich South America to European trade hubs.

Countries 11–20: Philippines, Bhutan, Malawi, Venezuela, Nigeria, Mali, New Guinea, Western Sahara, Sudan. Nations long plagued by inflation and debt — stabilized through integration into the reset.

Countries 21–30: South Sudan, Eswatini, Somalia, São Tomé, Gambia, Comoros, Madagascar, Gabon, Mozambique, Equatorial Guinea. African states with limited banking infrastructure leapfrog into digital trade networks.

Countries 31–44: Mauritania, Togo, Lesotho, Eritrea, Djibouti, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, Benin, DRC, Central African Republic. Fragile states often reliant on aid gain liquidity and protection from currency manipulation.

Countries 45–55: Argentina, Bahrain, Costa Rica, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Czech Republic, France, Dominican Republic, Portugal, Bulgaria. Oil-rich Gulf states and European powers anchor credibility.

Countries 56–65: Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Canada, Cuba, Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran, Moldova, Finland, Panama. A mix of rivals and allies proves the GCR bridges deep political divides.

Countries 66–75: South Korea, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, England, Ireland, Morocco, Hawaii, Antigua & Barbuda, Switzerland. Financial giants unite with Pacific and Caribbean islands, merging high-volume trade with small-market resilience.

Countries 76–90: Norway, Monaco, Northern Ireland, Guatemala, Hungary, Austria, United States of America, Spain, Panama.

The U.S. enters last, ensuring the system is stress-tested before the largest economy commits.

Mon. 25 Aug. 2025 INTEL DROP BREAKING! On September 1st, Trump will (allegedly) begin a $150 trillion Gesara operation, which will return stolen elite wealth to the people, causing Deepstate panic. …Q on Telegram

The countdown has (allegedly) started as of August 20, 2025. In order to overthrow globalist economic dominance and restore stolen wealth to the American people, President Donald J. Trump will launch a $150 trillion financial operation on September 1. The National Endowment Directive, which Trump approved under full constitutional and military authority, will (allegedly) release mineral resources buried beneath U.S. federal land that have been purposefully concealed for more than a century by globalist policies.

Large reserves of gold, silver, copper, lithium, uranium, and rare earth elements—worth more than the combined GDP of all countries—are found on more than 250 million acres of land, primarily in the western states.

They weren’t “protected lands.” In order to keep Americans impoverished and reliant while elites made money overseas, they were blockades that were sealed by fictitious environmental laws. That fraud is coming to an end.

With profits (allegedly) going into the Unified Treasury Reclamation Fund and being disbursed to verified citizens via the Quantum Financial System, Trump’s directive guarantees that these resources are recovered under U.S. control.

Phase One (allegedly) starts on September 1st, with land leases prohibited from foreign ownership, mineral surveys made available to American teams that have been vetted, and QFS-driven payouts known as “Repatriation Royalties” already showing up in pilot programs. What used to be theory is now working.

Long ridiculed and suppressed, GESARA is being carefully (allegedly) implemented: IRS regional offices are(allegedly)  quietly closing, internal ledger corrections have zeroed out student loan and tax debts, QFS nodes have activated gold-backing infrastructure, and Treasury-issued asset-backed currency is (allegedly) getting ready to replace the fiat dollar. The change is already in motion, but none of this was intended to go public until it was secure.

The Globalists are obviously in a panic. Desperate to stop Trump’s mineral release, WEF leaders convened in Geneva last weekend with more than 300 private jet arrivals. If the United States switches back to asset-backed currency, the IMF has warned of “catastrophic instability.” In an effort to advance its digital yuan before the dollar resets, China is dumping US bonds out of desperation rather than strength. However, it’s too late.

The Federal Reserve Act(allegedly)  stole monetary sovereignty, wars enriched contractors while bankrupting nations, energy independence was given to foreign cartels, patents were buried, and land rich in resources was locked away. The elites began manipulating the system in 1913. Every action was intended to divert American wealth. That system is being reversed by Trump.

September 1st is the catalyst, not a symbolic date. Following that, the pace of wealth transfer (allegedly) quickens through direct QFS-linked payments to citizens, tax abolition, grant-based business assistance, and zero-interest lending.

This is actual compensation that is backed by gold and linked to physical assets; it is neither scrap nor subsidies.

Americans will get what has always been theirs for the first time in modern history. The globalist myth that there was “never enough to go around” is coming to an end.

Donald J. Trump is at the helm of the largest wealth transfer in history, and it is about to get underway. Still standing, still carrying out, still taking back what was rightfully ours all along, despite being silenced, attacked, and imprisoned.

The first day is September 1st. Furthermore, nobody can stop what is about to happen.

Gold Revaluation: What Price & How? Mike Maloney & Alan Hibbard

8-26-2025

In this episode of the Gold Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Allan Hibbard dive into the controversial idea of revaluing the U.S. gold reserves.

With the Treasury sitting on a massive gold horde officially valued far below market price, could a simple accounting change—from $42/oz to market rates—provide the financial boost Washington desperately needs?

Discover:

 • Why revaluing gold has come up in recent policy discussions

• Which countries have tried this strategy—Germany, Italy, Lebanon, and more

• The real impact on debt-to-GDP: from slight relief to jaw-dropping gold prices

 • Why, despite the drama, revaluation won’t fix America’s fiscal crisis

Watch as they crunch the numbers and show you—in crystal-clear Excel models—why revaluation might offer only a symbolic remedy in a much larger economic battle.

QFS – THE QUANTUM FINANCIAL SYSTEM

QFS heals the economy. For centuries, money has been a weapon. Fiat currencies, interest, inflation — all engineered to drain nations and enslave individuals. Every paycheck stolen through taxes. Every loan chained with interest. Every war funded by invisible hands.

The Quantum Financial System is the antithesis of this corruption.
• 100% gold-backed and asset-based — no printing presses, no fabricated digits.
• Powered by quantum computers beyond the reach of hacking or manipulation.
• Every transaction validated in real time, recorded in transparency, immune to fraud.

The deah of SWIFT is already in progress. Nations quietly align with QFS. Central banks crumble. Hidden gold reserves — Vatican, BIS, and black funds — are being seized and rerouted into the new system.

What emerges is financial sovereignty: Your money is truly yours. Your wealth cannot be stolen by inflation or erased by debt. And for the first time in human history, prosperity is not a privilege — but a birthright.

Fed Crashing Economy, Trump will Put an End to the Endless

Bix Weir - Trump Is Using The Gold In The Grand Canyon To Bring Down The [CB],Smithsonian Is The Key

X22 Report (with Bix Weir):   8-22-2025

Ever wonder if there’s more to our global financial system than meets the eye? The latest X22 Report features a captivating discussion with Bix Weir of Road To Roota, diving deep into claims that could redefine our understanding of economic power, hidden wealth, and the very foundation of currency.

Bix Weir, a name well-known in alternative financial circles, is not your typical banker. A former insider who transitioned into an outspoken analyst, Weir founded the Road to Roota website and YouTube channel to pull back the curtain on what he describes as systematic manipulations within the gold, silver, and cryptocurrency markets. He’s built a reputation for exploring theories that challenge mainstream narratives, and his latest insights shared on the X22 Report are no exception.

At the heart of Weir’s most compelling claims is the assertion that vast, unimaginable quantities of gold – potentially millions, or even billions, of ounces – lie hidden and untapped within restricted areas of the Grand Canyon. According to Weir, these immense reserves have been deliberately concealed by government entities, not just to keep them secret, but to maintain a powerful leverage over the global economy and sustain the current fiat currency system.

Imagine the implications: a hidden trove of wealth so immense it could literally reset the global financial landscape. But who would wield such a power, and for what purpose?

This is where the narrative takes a fascinating turn. Weir proposes that President Donald Trump is actively engaged in a strategic effort to dismantle the central banking system, including the powerful Federal Reserve. The ultimate goal, as Weir outlines, is to restore a constitutional gold standard and finally put an end to the dominance of fiat currency – a system where money is not backed by a physical commodity, but by government decree.

Weir points to Trump’s past actions and public statements as evidence, including his nominations of advocates for a gold standard to positions within the Fed, and his own musings on the topic. The idea is that this hidden Grand Canyon gold could be the ultimate weapon, the physical backing needed to launch a truly independent, value-based financial system, thereby rendering the current central banking model obsolete.

The X22 Report segment also hints at another intriguing piece of the puzzle: the Smithsonian Institution being “the key.” While the full context requires watching the report, this mention suggests a deeper layer of historical suppression or narrative control related to these hidden assets and their true significance in the grand scheme of economic and historical power. What secrets might the Smithsonian hold, and how do they connect to the gold in the Canyon and the potential overthrow of the Federal Reserve?

Whether you find these claims compelling or incredulous, Bix Weir’s insights offer a provocative perspective on the future of global finance. He paints a picture of a world on the cusp of a potential economic revolution, driven by hidden resources and a determined effort to reclaim financial sovereignty from central authorities.

For those eager to delve deeper into these extraordinary claims and understand the full scope of Bix Weir’s analysis, the full X22 Report video is essential viewing. It promises further insights into the intricate web connecting hidden gold, political will, and the future of our economic system.

The Dollar’s Down 99% Since Nixon Temporarily Took us off Gold Standard

The Dollar’s Down 99% Since Nixon Temporarily Took us off Gold Standard

Arcadia Economics:  8-20-2025

What if one seemingly temporary financial decision, made decades ago, has profoundly shaped your economic reality today, from the value of your dollar to the global power balance?

That’s the powerful question at the heart of a recent video from Arcadia Economics, featuring the insightful Vince Lanci. The discussion dives deep into a pivotal moment in financial history: August 15, 1971, the day President Richard Nixon unilaterally severed the U.S. dollar’s link to gold.

Dubbed the “Nixon Shock,” this decision effectively ended the Bretton Woods system, which had pegged the dollar to gold and other currencies to the dollar.

Nixon presented it as a temporary measure, a necessary step to combat inflation and foreign speculation. However, as Lanci meticulously details, what began as a short-term fix unleashed a cascade of long-term, irreversible consequences that continue to reverberate through our global economy.

Fast forward to today, and the chickens are coming home to roost. The video highlights how the long-term repercussions of Nixon’s 1971 decision are now manifesting in the erosion of U.S. hegemony and the rise of alternative monetary strategies worldwide.

Central banks globally are sending clear signals: they’re increasingly dumping U.S. Treasuries and, significantly, accumulating gold once again as a core reserve asset.

 This isn’t just a cyclical shift; it’s a strategic repositioning away from a system that no longer offers the same perceived stability.

Vince Lanci previews an upcoming, thought-provoking article titled “The End of Free Market Capitalism and the US Debt for Equity Swap.” This analysis suggests that with foreign buyers of U.S. Treasuries retreating, America may be facing a critical juncture.

The U.S. might soon need to explore exchanging equity stakes in its future — meaning, pieces of its economic engine and assets — for the capital inflows it desperately needs. This potential scenario marks a significant deviation from a purely free-market capitalist system, signaling a monumental shift in how the nation might finance its future.

Amidst these macroeconomic tidal shifts, specific market signals offer glimpses of opportunity and change. The discussion also touches upon recent precious metals updates, including exciting news from Argenta Silver about exceptional drill results indicating very high silver concentrations.

Such developments underscore the importance of monitoring market signals, policy shifts, and resource potential in navigating these uncertain economic times.

The Arcadia Economics video with Vince Lanci serves as a crucial reminder that historical decisions have tangible, long-lasting consequences.

These aren’t just abstract economic concepts; they are live, evolving challenges that impact every facet of our financial lives and the global economic order.
