Peter Schiff: 9-18-2026
Following the Federal Reserve's unanimous 12-0 vote to raise its policy rate 25 basis points, Fox Business host Liz Claman brings together BNY Investments chief economist Vincent Reinhart and Euro Pacific Asset Management's Peter Schiff to break down new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first rate decision.
Schiff argues the hike is too small and too late to contain inflation, noting the Fed was backed into a corner after months of hawkish signaling and that a single 25 basis point move will not derail rising prices.

That was a declaration of operational readiness. CBI does not broadcast next steps unless the infrastructure is already in place.
Today, Iraq’s Minister of Finance met with the World Bank to discuss “financial reform and enhancement of the efficiency of financial institutions” amid international commitments to support Iraq.

Notes From the Field By James Hickman 9Simon Black / Sovereign Man) September 16, 2026
On Sunday afternoon, the power went out at ExxonMobil's refinery in Channahon, Illinois, a southwest suburb of Chicago. Oil refineries run at tremendous heat and pressure, so whenever the power goes out, all that heat and pressure has to go somewhere. It’s basic physics. Hence why the plant burned it off through the flare stacks, with black smoke visible for miles.

Trump Strategic Delay Architecture & IQD Sovereign Rate Activation — The Three-Week
Trump’s delay architecture operates on a principle that the opposition hasn’t fully decoded: an administrative rule creates permanent regulatory structure without legislative vulnerability. A bill can be stalled, amended, gutted, or buried in committee by a single strategically placed senator.

However, aggregate statistics obscure the composition of changes occurring at the country level. In this post, we show that the aggregate decline is not a systematic global shift away from dollar assets. Rather, the aggregate decline reflects the actions of a handful of large reserve holders, changing either their currency preferences or the size of their reserve portfolio.

Perhaps no country in the world has abolished paper currency, but amidst the anxiety surrounding discussions in the local market and among banks—both those sanctioned and those not—within an economy mired in a ceaseless war, an Iraqi expert and academic believes that the chaos plaguing the financial market necessitates the "complete abolition of paper currency" and its conversion into a bank card for every citizen.
