Member: Happy Thursday and good morning Markz and everyone

Member: What state is everyone in? I'll start:  I’m in the state of confusion…lol

Member: Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Said from the back of my RV station wagon!

MZ: Lots of rumors floating around….Rumors have pretty much called it every night for about 2 AM for the last 3-4 days. We seem to be in some kind of holding pattern .News is not flowing like it was. We know we are close and we know people have been moving into position. Paymasters, bond holders , currency holders groups…. all seem to be in position.  All we can do is sit and wait.

Member: Waiting on the RV--I feel like that old Ketchup Commercial, sitting here singing " Anticipation, Anitic-a-pay-ay-tion... its making me wait!"

Member: We are sitting on the bench waiting for the coach to tell us it’s our turn to play.

MZ: Exactly

Member: it's hard to understand why they r playing this “hold on” game. if they have given traveling money that means they r putting holds on private jets costing 1k to hold

MZ: No updates on CMKX, farm claims and prosperity packages.

Member: Mark, Will there be a need for FDIC when we exchange?

MZ: Supposedly we are not supposed to need the FDIC because your money will be held as “ledger” and covered. It is my understanding that instead of covering $250K…..we will be protected and covered to infinity…and beyond.

Member: Spot gold hit $3,060 this morning...down a little now....Siler is up to $35 now

MZ: in Iraq: “Sudanese advisor talks to Al-Jabal about the reason for delay in sending the 2025 budget schedules and the date of their arrival to parliament”  They have handed it off to parliamentary members now so they start working on it in the committee. They will have a vote on these tables soon. There are many articles out about this today.

MZ: “ The second phase of the Jordanian-Iraq electricity interconnection project is nearing completion.”  They are going through with the plan to remove any dependence on Iran. This is part of that.

MZ: “ Maximum Pressure: Iran’s Rial hits record low due to US sanctions”  The Iranian rial fell to $1 million 39 thousand against the US dollar. So one dollar buys over one million rial now. No idea if Iran will be in our first basket or not.

MZ: “Zimbabwe may scrap US dollar for local transactions without notice” They just may drop the dollar and promote using the ZIG . This is part of sovereignty and part of Nesara/Gesara and working towards parity with each country. .

Member: Does anyone think Trumps “Liberation Day” next Wednesday has anything to do with the rv?

Member: Tariffs set things for the future. Outcome Tax. No Income Tax. External income tax instead of internal income tax

Member: Tariffs and bonds will be what takes place for the money coming in to replace the IRS

Member: Tariffs are leveling things out so all nations are 1 to 1 ... all Trumps actions like deportations (we always wondered how they'd go home) are setting the stage for NESARA ...IMO

Member: We are moving from a debt system to a credit system. Get excited people.

Member: Will we get emails as to where to go to exchange. Who sends those?

Member: If you are in a group or members of Dinar Recaps or Chronicles…you should get emails….But the exchange info will be posted by almost every intel provider (including Mark) …you won’t miss it.

Wed. 26 March 2025 How to End the Fed …QFS on Telegram

So much has been written about why we should end the Federal Reserve. With growing public demand for an audit, the call has finally reached the masses. If such an audit happens, it may expose hidden programs like the Bank Term Funding Program and open the door to something bigger. What’s missing, however, is the how. Ending the Federal Reserve must be done carefully—without shocking the system. The goal is simple: unwind its power while minimizing disruption to the money supply.

This can be achieved in five deliberate steps.

First, revoke the Federal Reserve’s authority to manipulate monetary policy. Repeal the Federal Reserve Act and remove its power to control interest rates or print money.

Second, freeze all expiring debt assets on the Fed’s balance sheet—U.S. Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and loans—and let them expire naturally over time. These assets make up about 99% of the Fed’s holdings.

Third, sell off non-expiring assets, if any, gradually over 1 to 5 years. Their volume is small and unlikely to cause market instability.

Fourth, convert the Fed into a fully private institution, stripped of its special legal privileges. It may continue operating based on its existing market position, but without state-backed power.

Finally, if the Fed can’t sustain itself as a private bank, other institutions can take over its limited remaining functions—like interbank lending—under standard private banking laws. Its collapse would then be irrelevant.

The Fed’s balance sheet currently holds about $6.8 trillion, mostly in U.S. debt. Roughly $4.2 trillion is in Treasuries and $2.2 trillion in mortgage-backed securities—both with set expiration dates. Letting these assets expire passively, instead of selling them, would slowly shrink the Fed’s footprint. The initial decline would be steep—about 10% in the first year—then taper off to about 1.7% annually, averaging 3.1% per year.

Unlike traditional quantitative tightening, this approach doesn’t drain bank reserves. No reserves are destroyed, no liquidity pulled. The Fed would continue earning interest on remaining assets, using that income to pay interest on reserves held by banks, softening the transition. Over time, as the Fed’s income declines, interest payments to banks would shrink. This would push banks to deploy capital more actively into markets, rather than earning passive returns at the Fed.

The shift would spur lending and investment, adding inflationary pressure that could counteract the deflationary impact of ending the Fed’s debt-buying programs. The result: a gradual rebalancing.

If done correctly, the outcome would be monumental. The Fed would lose its privileged authority. Direct manipulation of interest rates would end. Money supply remains stable, as reserves stay intact. No shock to the banking system. No need to redesign payment systems like ACH.

The dollar may appreciate slightly as discipline returns. The government would face pressure to rein in debt, as a stronger dollar increases real debt costs. And markets, no longer warped by artificial intervention, would reward prudence over reckless leverage.

Ending the Fed isn’t just possible—it’s a necessary step toward a freer, more honest economy.

Frank26  The currents of Iraq are only flowing in a direction of a new exchange rate.  It's not flowing towards 1310. 

Walkingstick Trump actually said we can take Iraq's oil as repayment.  You think these 20 years we're not going to get paid back?  We got paid back by Kuwait...Therefore the oil flowing in Iraq is not just a statement in Iraq, IMO it is a forced action to start the oil flowing now.  This would expose the budget tables.  This Iraqi monetary reform, I got a feeling about it and that feeling has a lot to do with the quick actions of Donald Trump that we are witnessing.

Militia Man  Regarding the exchange rate article quote "The official exchange rate will become the prevailing and sole one as will the digital exchange rate adopted by monetary policy."  He's talking about the official exchange rate.  He's not necessarily talking about 1310.  He says the official exchange rate 'will become', that sounds to be like it'll be something different and it'll be a sole one on its own

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Thursday AM3-27-25

Financial expert: Iraq's budget deficit is due to bond issuance
 
Economy     Iraq     breaking     Budget     disability     Financial bonds
2025-03-24 23:01  Shafaq News/ Financial expert and former director general of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mahmoud Dagher, attributed the country's budget deficit on Tuesday to the Iraqi Ministry of Finance issuing large bonds. Dagher told Shafaq News Agency,
 
"The budget deficit is behind the Ministry of Finance's efforts to issue bonds worth 3 trillion dinars to obtain cash liquidity to cover its expenses."

He added, "Given the difficulty of marketing bonds to the public, interest rates on bonds were raised and  they were marketed through banks this time,
 
given the latter's liquidity and preference for risk-free, profitable securities such as government bonds."
 
Dagher expects this move to attract banks, given that the interest rates offered are close to the returns generated from other activities.
 
The Iraqi Ministry of Finance is seeking to issue national bonds worth 3 trillion dinars (about $2.3 billion) allocated exclusively to local banks, 

according to a letter issued by the Central Bank to banks. She noted that
 
the bonds will be divided into two tranches: the
 
first,
     worth half a million dinars per bond,
     for a two-year term, with an
     8% annual interest rate, and the
 
second,
     worth one million dinars per bond,
     for a four-year term, with an
     annual interest rate of 10%.
 
The sale is scheduled to take place from March 20 to 29.

Insurance and Credits
 
Economic 03/26/2025  Yasser Al-Mutawali  Article 45 of the current budget law stipulates that open documentary credits must be insured within Iraq. This procedure means that
 
when the state or individuals import from abroad,
the imports must be insured by companies in the country within Iraq.

This decision reflects the government's interest in activating and stimulating the insurance sector, given its
 
     significant role in maximizing financial resources, on the one hand, and
     in bearing risks in a balanced manner across economic sectors as a whole, by distributing them fairly.
 
Continuing our previous article titled "Insurance and Risk,"
 
it can be said that the Central Bank of Iraq has
 
     circulated this order to banks and
     called on them to implement it,
     indicating its support for this important decision.
 
However, it is noticeable that the
response from banks has been very weak, so
 
coordination between insurance companies and banks is required to ensure the full success of this decision.
 
The current government, in its efforts to support the insurance sector, is attempting to revitalize this vital and important financial sector.
 
These measures may be a response to what we raised here in Al Sabah newspaper, given the difficulties this essential sector is facing.It is clear here that
 
there is unfortunately a lack of insurance culture,
for which the insurance companies themselves and the economic media bear responsibility.
 
It is worth emphasizing here that , in

 this measure will contribute to maximizing the budget's financial resources addition to

preserving the hard currency that goes to international insurance companies in the insurance process.
 
The benefit of the domestic insurance decision will therefore be to stimulate important economic sectors, such as insurance companies and banks, while providing many job opportunities in this field,
 
thus alleviating the widespread unemployment among young people.

Here, I believe that a partnership should be created between reputable Iraqi insurance companies and international companies, with the aim of benefiting from each other's expertise, 

similar to the partnership between our banks and correspondent banks, to ensure profitability from the outset.
 
We ask: What role does the Iraqi insurance company play in these changes?
 
It used to play a major role in insuring imports and exports and investing funds domestically and internationally.
 
In a related context, the government's support for this sector was not limited to requiring documentary credit insurance, but
 
this interest was also reflected in the new health insurance law, which encouraged insurance companies to issue insurance policies for expatriate and resident workers.
 
Thus, insurance companies will flourish again, but insurance companies are required to work on developing their workforce, given the expertise required by these insurance products, especially in the era of digital transformation.
 
This is a shared responsibility in cooperation and coordination between the Insurance Bureau and government insurance companies.  Both private and public.  https://alsabaah.iq/112251-.html    

Iraqi oil refinery  energy  Economy News – Baghdad  The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Wednesday that Iraq's oil exports to the United States have increased by more than 110% over two years.

"Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States extends to diverse investment, trade, and economic areas. Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States has witnessed remarkable developments in recent years," Salih said in a statement reported by the official news agency and seen by Al-Eqtisad News.

He pointed out that "the volume of trade between the two countries has more than doubled over the past two years, as Iraq's oil exports to the United States increased by more than 110%, and Iraq's imports from the United States increased significantly over the past two years, with the value of that trade ranging between $9 and $10 billion."

He explained that "Iraq's imports were primarily in cars, transportation equipment, engineering, and electrical equipment, but the trade balance remained in Iraq's favor, with a difference of $5.7 billion, reflecting the continued superiority of Iraqi exports to the United States, especially in the crude oil sector."

He noted that "economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States is developing, with a focus on enhancing trade exchange and supporting joint investment activities, serving the economic interests of both countries."

Saleh stated that "financial and economic cooperation is part of a positive, shared dialogue between the two countries. Since the beginning of this year, many mutual understandings have been reached in the field of economic cooperation, which are consistent with supporting stability and economic reforms outlined in the government's program, particularly the development of an attractive investment cooperation environment for investors between the two friendly countries, within the framework of the country's general economic policy to achieve sustainable development goals." https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=53840

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Morning 3-27-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

PAUL ATKINS SEC CONFIRMATION HEARING BEGINS: IS THIS GOOD NEWS FOR CRYPTO?

▪️Former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins, a Trump nominee, is expected to bring a more crypto-friendly regulatory approach.

▪️Atkins' confirmation faces scrutiny due to his past advisory roles, financial ties to crypto, and potential conflicts of interest.

▪️The crypto industry anticipates Atkins' potential leadership as a shift towards clearer regulations.

The crypto market finally has a leader at the SEC who supports digital assets. After years of strict regulations, uncertainty, and legal battles, there’s a chance for real change. Paul Atkins, a former SEC commissioner and Trump’s pick for SEC Chair, is expected to take a more crypto-friendly approach – if confirmed. Unlike his predecessor Gary Gensler, who cracked down hard on the industry, Atkins wants to introduce clear and predictable rules. He believes confusing regulations have slowed innovation and pushed businesses overseas.

His confirmation hearing today could set the stage for crypto’s next big chapter.

Senate Hearing Begins Today

Atkins will face the Senate Banking Committee today for his confirmation hearing, where he plans to push for a balanced regulatory framework. He has criticized the SEC’s past policies, arguing that complicated and politically driven rules have hurt businesses and investors. His goal is to create common-sense regulations that encourage growth while ensuring proper oversight.

Industry Support vs. Political Opposition

The crypto industry is optimistic about Atkins’ nomination, seeing it as a chance to move away from the SEC’s aggressive enforcement, which has driven innovation overseas.

But not everyone is on board. Senator Elizabeth Warren and other critics have raised concerns about his regulatory past. Warren has questioned his advisory role with FTX, his ties to major financial firms, and his decisions during the 2008 financial crisis. She recently sent him a 34-page letter demanding answers before his hearing.

Questions over Atkins’ crypto investments

Atkins’ financial records show he holds up to $5 million in a crypto investment fund and $1 million in equity across two crypto firms. His and his wife’s total assets exceed $328 million, mostly from his wife’s family wealth. These investments have raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest, which he is expected to address during the confirmation process.

What Happens Next?

Until Atkins is officially confirmed, Mark Uyeda will serve as interim SEC Chair following Gary Gensler’s resignation. The Senate will decide when to hold the final vote on Atkins. If he is approved, it could mean major changes in how the SEC regulates crypto.

While the crypto market welcomes a shift in policy, some worry that too much freedom could lead to illegal activities and fraud. Trump’s open support for meme coins like TRUMP, which remain unregulated, has added to concerns.

Over the last few months, some of Trump’s policies have backfired, and the crypto market is still recovering, far from its peak of $109K. Whether Atkins’ leadership will bring stability or new challenges remains to be seen.

Atkins might be the SEC’s new face, but in crypto, the real question is always the same – will the rules change the game or just the players?

US SENATE CLEARS RESOLUTION TO KILL IRS’S CONTROVERSIAL DEFI BROKER RULE

A rule to scrap a U.S. Internal Revenue Service rule targeting decentralized finance platforms has cleared the Senate, setting the stage for the president’s expected sign-off.

On March 26, the Senate voted 70-28 in favour of repealing the controversial DeFi broker rule, which sought to expand tax reporting requirements for businesses in the sector.

Earlier this month, the House of Representatives passed the resolution with bipartisan support, with Republican Representative Mike Carey, a vocal critic of the bill, calling it a “massive government overreach” that would compromise the privacy of American nationals and hinder growth in the industry.

Now, the resolution heads to President Donald Trump’s desk for final approval. David Sacks, the White House’s crypto and AI adviser, has previously confirmed the administration’s support, and Trump is expected to sign it into law.

The rules, initially proposed by the IRS and the United States Treasury Department in August and finalised in December 2024, would require DeFi platforms to report user transactions—specifically, gross proceeds from crypto sales—to the IRS, similar to traditional brokers.

This would include collecting and filing personal data of users involved in these transactions, which critics say goes against the nature of decentralisation and puts unnecessary pressure on platforms that often don’t have central operators.

Supporters of the repeal argued that the rule was unworkable in practice and could drive innovation out of the U.S.

The Blockchain Association, a digital asset advocacy group, along with the Texas Blockchain Council, sued the IRS last year.

Marisa Coppel, the association’s Head of Legal, criticized regulators in a joint statement last year, claiming that the IRS and Treasury had “gone beyond their statutory authority in expanding the definition of ‘broker.”

“Not only is this an infringement on the privacy rights of individuals using decentralized technology, it would push this entire, burgeoning technology offshore,” he added.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday Morning 3-27-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Sending budget tables to the Cabinet

 The government issued new assurances on Wednesday regarding the country's financial situation. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Planning, Mohammed Tamim, announced the completion of the 2025 budget schedules and their submission to the Council of Ministers. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed that Iraq's public finances are resilient to oil price fluctuations. 

The Ministry of Finance, for its part, ensured financial stability by disbursing salaries on time, as well as disbursing pensioners' salaries before Eid al-Fitr. In a meeting with the Parliamentary Finance Committee, the Minister of Planning confirmed that the schedules include funding for ongoing projects without adding new ones.

According to information published by "Al-Sabah", the (2025) budget is expected to reach about (200) trillion dinars with an estimated deficit of (64) trillion dinars. For his part, the financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, explained that Iraq is hedging against oil price fluctuations, and that the first quarter of (2025) passed without financial turmoil, while ensuring the stability of salaries and social care, in addition to implementing service projects.

Saleh pointed out that "the price of a barrel of oil in the Federal Budget Law for the three years, issued pursuant to Law No. (13) of (2023), was set at about (70) dollars, which ensures the stability of public revenues despite global economic challenges."  link

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

Tishwash:  Employees withdraw 8 trillion dinars from banks in two hours.. The Ministry of Finance seeks a solution.

Crisis of confidence despite the electronic system

Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Moeen Al-Kadhimi, called for stopping the provision of subsidized dollars at an exchange rate of 1,320 dinars for non-essential luxury imports, and instead providing them for the import of necessities such as production lines and agricultural equipment, to reduce the volume of imports later.

 He pointed out that many private banks were not established according to the needs of economic sectors and that they profit from transfer operations despite being inactive due to their inability to deal with foreign correspondent banks. He also confirmed that the government deposits about 8 trillion dinars monthly as salaries for employees and retirees, but they are withdrawn within only two hours, calling for the matter to be addressed.

oeen Al-Kadhimi, in an interview with journalist Saadoun Mohsen Damd, followed by 964 Network :

The banking system is linked to the Central Bank, the body responsible for regulating banking operations. Numerous workshops have been held recently to develop the banking system. However, there are external factors that influence banks attempting to link up with foreign banks, which also impact the development process.

From our perspective as a parliamentary committee, we believe the Iraqi banking system is still in its early stages of adapting to global regulations. The Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance are required to support the work of banks so they can fulfill their role beyond limited tasks, such as supporting the agricultural and industrial sectors, and other diverse economic sectors.

Some banks are trying to profit solely from dollar transfers, without contributing to other developmental aspects. One of our most important observations is the increasing number of banks being established without feasibility studies.

This is despite the fact that they are practically at a standstill because most of them have been unable to link up with international banks to conduct financial transfers, thus preventing them from accessing the currency window.

The Central Bank sometimes justifies some of the violations of its instructions by private banks. It must then address the missing relationship between the public and the banks. Some citizens lost their money after certain banks declared bankruptcy, and the Central Bank must also address this issue.

Improving banking performance is key, and we have approached the Central Bank about addressing the issue of depositing funds and the difficulty depositors face in withdrawing them later, while improving interest rates to ensure depositors feel valued. Most importantly, we are increasing automation, moving away from cash transactions.

The internet is no obstacle to the electronic transformation of financial transactions. Banks must improve their digital applications and technologies to benefit from the country's internet services and quality. Employee and retiree salaries, which amount to approximately 8 trillion dinars, are now paid electronically, but they are withdrawn within two hours, immediately emptying all banks. This must be addressed.

The Ministry of Finance's monthly priority is to convert its dollar balances into dinars to boost remittances and foreign imports, which are often for luxury goods, as traders benefit from the exchange rate difference. This must stop, and subsidized dollars must be allocated to essential needs, such as importing production lines, to reduce imports later.  link

Tishwash: Iraq Implements Global Transit System TIR from April

Iraq will implement the global transit system TIR from 1 April 2025, marking a significant step in enhancing logistics and international trade.

According to state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA), the Border Ports Commission announced that the system will streamline cross-border transport, strengthening Iraq's position as a key trade hub in the Middle East.

The TIR system is expected to play a crucial role in the Development Road project, linking southern and northern Iraq while providing an efficient trade corridor connecting Asia, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Turkey, and Europe.

Logistics firms are prepared to launch TIR operations from locations such as Mersin, Turkey, to Gulf countries via Umm Qasr Port. Initial trials indicate that the journey could be completed in under a week-compared to 14 days via the Red Sea or 26 days if ships reroute around Africa.

Transport Minister Razzaq Muhibis Al-Saadawi highlighted that TIR implementation, supported by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and facilitated by the International Road Transport Union (IRU), will reduce transport times by 80% and costs by 38%, offering substantial economic benefits and job creation. Over the past two years, Iraq has developed its transport infrastructure to maximise TIR's impact on trade and the national economy.

IRU Secretary-General Umberto de Pretto welcomed the initiative, stating that TIR has facilitated secure trade for nearly eight decades. He anticipates that Iraq's integration into the system will enhance regional economic connectivity and streamline freight movement. The system's electronic pre-declaration (TIR-EPD) will integrate with Iraq's Uruk platform, enabling cargo monitoring via GPS and enhancing security through regular checkpoints.

TIR, governed by a United Nations convention and managed by IRU, is designed to ensure smooth, cost-effective, and secure international trade.

In 2023, Iraq became the 78th country to accede to the United Nations TIR Convention. link

Worst Crash Since Great Depression will Force Monetary Reset

Worst Crash Since Great Depression will Force Monetary Reset

Commodity Culture:  3-27-2025

In a recent episode of “Commodity Culture” with Jesse Day, market strategist Henrik Zeberg painted a stark, almost paradoxical, picture of the future. While many are bracing for an imminent market downturn, Zeberg believes the bears are premature.

 He predicts a significant market rally, culminating in a dramatic blow-off top, before a recession and market crash eviscerates asset values and ultimately necessitates a monetary reset based on sound money, specifically gold.

Zeberg’s forecast hinges on the idea that the current market landscape, despite its apparent fragility, still holds the potential for a final, exuberantly irrational surge.

He argued that underlying market forces are not yet aligned for a sustained bear market. Instead, he envisions a dramatic final rally, driven by factors like lingering liquidity and the herd mentality of investors eager to chase returns. This “blow-off top,” as he describes it, will be the final act of this current market cycle, and its peak will be the precipice of significant economic pain.

Following this artificial high, Zeberg foresees a harsh and unavoidable correction. This won’t be a simple dip; he predicts a profound recession, potentially even a depression, where virtually all asset classes will suffer significant losses. He anticipates a crash that will wipe out substantial wealth and shake the foundations of the global economy.

The silver lining, according to Zeberg, lies in the ashes of this economic devastation. He believes that only when faced with the utter failure of current monetary policies will global powers be forced to consider a radical shift.

In this scenario, he sees a return to sound money principles, most likely anchored by gold. This wouldn’t be a matter of choice, but rather a necessary consequence of the collapse of the existing system.

Zeberg’s vision is a compelling, albeit unsettling, one. He suggests that riding the coming wave requires vigilance and a deep understanding of market cycles. While predicting a significant market rally, he also urges caution, emphasizing that the ultimate goal should be preserving capital and preparing for the inevitable downturn.

In his view, the short-term gains should be viewed as a prelude to a long and challenging period, ultimately leading to a fundamental shift in the global monetary system, a shift that favors the stability and security of gold.

Whether you agree with Zeberg’s specific timeline or not, his conversation with Jesse Day on “Commodity Culture” provides a thought-provoking and timely perspective on the potential trajectory of the markets and the future of money itself.

It underscores the importance of understanding macro trends and preparing for a range of potential outcomes in an increasingly uncertain economic landscape.

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Wednesday Afternoon 3-26-25

Al-Nusairi: 2025 Indicators: A Strong Economy, A Recovering Dinar, And Developing Banks

Banks   Economy News – Baghdad   Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi confirmed that his predictions, made in previous articles and statements, that our economic indicators in 2025 herald a strong and robust economy based on the availability of foreign currency reserves exceeding $108 billion and 163 tons of gold, sufficient to cover imports for 18 months.

Al-Nusairi said in an interview with Al-Eqtisad News that the local currency issued amounted to approximately 100 trillion dinars, and our dinar is recovering and gradually returning towards an exchange rate against the US dollar towards the equilibrium price targeted by the Central Bank.

Our banks are developing and proceeding at a steady pace in accordance with the Central Bank’s strategy for reform, development, digital transformation and compliance with international standards.

The number of Iraqi banks that have banking relations and accounts in solid international correspondent banks and deal with them directly in foreign transfers has reached approximately 20 banks and deal in multiple foreign currencies after leaving the electronic platform at the end of 2024.

He explained that the Central Bank is making great efforts to qualify, develop and assist other banks to join the twenty banks mentioned above, pointing out that it is closely monitoring the reality of monetary policy applications and the Central Bank’s procedures, closely monitoring international economic variables and their impact on the Iraqi economy and complying with international standards that allow Iraq to be regular in the global banking system and controlling the movement and safety of foreign currency trading.

The banks’ commitment to implementing the new foreign transfer instructions and addressing obstacles as soon as possible has refuted the extremist and pessimistic views that say the exchange rate crisis will continue and our situation will be like that of Lebanon, Iran, Syria and Turkey when the dollar devoured the local currencies of these countries.

He explained that through our precise knowledge of the Central Bank's monetary policy applications, its coverage of the entire demand for the US dollar in the trading market and through its various official outlets, and its control over the distribution of cash dollars according to a new method that the US Treasury praised and considered a globally advanced method for distributing the US dollar, and this is what I confirmed in my previous articles, that the dinar will recover and the crisis is temporary despite all the external and internal reasons.

At the end of his speech on the Central Bank, Al-Nusairi hoped that the next phase would be an evaluation and analysis phase of the achievements made in 2023 and 2024, and a re-evaluation of operating banks and licensed and unlicensed exchange offices, reclassifying them and developing their work in all fields in 2025.

He also hoped that stability would be maintained in the financial and monetary system and that important steps would be taken to stimulate and enable the banking sector to contribute to investment and development, as stated in paragraph 7 of axis twelve in the government program for reforming the financial and banking sector, because banking reform is the beginning of comprehensive economic reform.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=53806

The Ministry Of Planning Announces The Completion Of The 2025 Budget Schedules And Their Submission To The Council Of Ministers

Money and Business  Economy News – Baghdad  Minister of Planning Mohammed Tamim announced on Wednesday the completion of the 2025 budget tables and their submission to the Council of Ministers.

The office of the head of the parliamentary finance committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, stated in a statement seen by Al-Eqtisad News that "the committee, headed by Atwani, hosted Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Planning Mohammed Tamim to discuss maximizing non-oil revenues."

Al-Atwani emphasized that "the Finance Committee noted a clear flaw in the estimation of non-oil revenues. By amending the law of the General Authority for Monitoring the Allocation of Federal Revenues, we seek to assess the extent of revenue from investment of state assets and other revenue streams, so that we can have a clear picture when formulating the country's financial policy."

He added, "The committee is determined to activate the work of this important constitutional body and grant it broader powers so it can assume its responsible national role."

He expressed his "concern over the halt in listing projects and the delay in financing ongoing projects," noting that "these reasons are a dangerous prelude that could lead us back to the problem of stalled projects."

The statement added, "The meeting reviewed a number of proposals and ideas agreed upon between the Finance Committee and the Minister of Planning regarding adding tasks and duties to the General Authority for Monitoring the Allocation of Federal Revenues and granting it expanded powers to review revenue estimates and plan for their collection."

He pointed out that "the meeting addressed the issues of the suspension of project listings, the delay in funding ongoing projects, the governorates' financial entitlements, and the delay in announcing the results of the population census."

For his part, the Minister of Planning said, "His ministry has completed its preparation of the 2025 budget schedules, and we have sent them to the Council of Ministers." He noted that they "do not include any new projects, but do include funding for ongoing projects."

The Minister of Planning added, "The results of the general population census are fully ready, and their delay depends on the arrival of some data related to the Kurdistan Region." https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=53832

Data Confirms Iraq's Pivotal Role In The Global Oil Market

Buratha News Agency1412025-03-26  SOMO today explained the importance of Iraqi oil and its vital role in global markets, while indicating that Iraq has the fourth largest proven oil reserves in the world, at approximately 145 billion barrels. SOMO emphasized the advantages of Iraqi oil, explaining,

“Global crude oils are classified and their quality is determined based on their API (specific gravity) and sulfur content. Iraqi crude oil produced on this basis is classified into (medium and heavy crude oil) based on its specific gravity.

It has a high sulfur content for both types, according to the sulfur content standard. It is considered a crude oil with specifications (required globally), and is compatible with the operational plans of refineries that wish to produce specific products according to their needs.”

She explained that "among the advantages that help attract buyers are the significant and growing demand for medium and heavy crude oils, stable production, and the availability of large, stable quantities that ensure long-term supply contracts for these refineries.

The geographic location and low shipping costs make Iraqi oil a favorite in the Asian market, in addition to the fair, competitive price based on market fundamentals."

The company continued, "Iraq ranks fifth in the world in terms of oil production, with an output of approximately 4.27 million barrels per day, making it the second-largest producer in OPEC after Saudi Arabia. Iraq also has the fourth-largest proven oil reserves in the world, at approximately 145 billion barrels."

She pointed out that "this ranking reflects Iraq's vital role in global oil markets, as it contributes significantly to meeting global energy demand. Marketing-wise, Iraqi crude oil is considered an important oil with a good market reputation, as it is relied upon by many global refineries in their refining operations and there is relatively high demand for it."

She added, "Iraqi crude oil is in global demand for refineries in several countries, as Iraqi crude oil is exported exclusively to companies that own refineries, but most of the companies to which Iraqi crude oil is exported are Asian companies, the most important of which are China and India, at a rate of approximately 70%, and approximately 30% for the other two markets, European and American combined."

She also pointed out that "OPEC and OPEC+ policies determine production levels, which are reflected in global prices, impacting the buying and selling of Iraqi crude oil. The greater the production restrictions, the higher the prices and the lower the quantities sold, and vice versa. These policies also impact the market share and financial returns."   https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/458057

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Evening 3-26-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE-SEC LAWSUIT UPDATE: XRP SALES BAN MAY BE LIFTED SOON!

▪️Ripple withdrew its cross-appeal against the SEC, signaling the nearing end of their legal battle.

▪️The SEC may seek to lift the injunction that restricts Ripple's direct XRP sales to institutions.

▪️If the injunction is lifted, Ripple could resume institutional XRP sales, but must adhere to securities laws.

Ripple’s long-running legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is nearing its final stage. The company has withdrawn its cross-appeal, leading to speculation that the SEC might ask the court to lift the injunction preventing Ripple from selling XRP directly to institutional investors.

If this happens, could Ripple restart these sales? Experts share their views on what this means for Ripple, the SEC, and the broader crypto market.

Could Ripple vs. SEC End Soon?

After the SEC settled its lawsuit with Coinbase, many in the crypto space wonder if Ripple’s case could also be resolved soon.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed that the company has withdrawn its cross-appeal, signaling that the legal battle is entering its final phase.

The SEC-Ripple Legal Battle: The Background Explained

The SEC’s injunction has significantly restricted Ripple’s business, preventing direct sales of XRP to institutional investors.

The legal fight began in 2020 when the SEC accused Ripple of selling XRP without proper authorization. Last year, Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled that Ripple’s institutional sales were an unregistered securities offering. However, she clarified that XRP sales on public exchanges did not fall into the same category.

The SEC has not yet confirmed whether it will request the court to lift the injunction.

Experts Weigh In: Will Ripple Resume Institutional Sales?

Legal expert Fred Rispoli believes that if the court removes the injunction at the SEC’s request, Ripple could restart institutional sales. However, he emphasizes that the company must comply with securities laws.

He says: “Ripple’s institutional XRP sales still must conform to securities law but can now sell to say, hedge funds or private equity firms directly instead of to OTC desks first.”

XRP Community Reacts

While some XRP supporters see Ripple’s decision as a positive step, others remain uncertain about how it will affect XRP’s future.

Currently, XRP is trading at $2.47, reflecting a 6.6% increase over the past week and a 280.2% surge in the past year. At the start of this month, XRP was priced at $2.14602, meaning it has risen nearly 14.98% since then. However, it is still 18.73% below this month’s peak.

Ripple’s withdrawal of its cross-appeal is a key moment in its legal fight with the SEC. If the injunction is lifted, the company could resume institutional sales, but it must still comply with securities laws.

The XRP community remains divided – some are optimistic about XRP’s growth, while others remain cautious due to regulatory uncertainty. Ripple’s next moves and the SEC’s decision will play a crucial role in shaping XRP’s future.

Whatever happens, you can’t deny, this whole Ripple saga? It’s been a wild ride for everyone watching.

WYOMING GOVERNOR SAYS STATE’S LONG-PLANNED STABLECOIN COULD LAUNCH BY JULY

Wyoming's planned stablecoin—first proposed in 2022—will work across Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and multiple ETH scaling networks.

The state of Wyoming is gearing up to launch its long-planned stablecoin in the coming months, Governor Mark Gordon said at the DC Blockchain Summit on Wednesday, with the state eyeing a potential July debut following a period of testing.

The stablecoin, which was first proposed via a state bill in February 2022, will be powered by LayerZero and be usable across multiple chains, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and the Ethereum scaling networks Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

“We are thrilled to share Wyoming's vision for state leadership in the nation's capital,” Governor Gordon said in a press release issued following his DC Blockchain Summit interview. “Our forward-thinking approach to blockchain and digital asset legislation has positioned Wyoming as a model for not only other states, but the federal government as well.”

The token, WYST, which is now in testing phase across seven blockchain testnets, is poised to benefit both the state and its users, according to the Governor. He said that it will require an over-collaterization of the cash and U.S. Treasuries that back the token to reduce the risk of de-pegging, or shifting from the 1:1 ratio the token is supposed to hold with the U.S. Dollar.

Additionally, interest from the treasuries that back the token will be deposited into the state’s school foundation fund, according to a press release from the Governor.

Though the idea of its state stablecoin first surfaced in 2022, Wyoming’s progress accelerated in March 2023 with the passing of the Wyoming Stable Token Act, which led to the creation of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission—the group ultimately tasked with issuing a stablecoin that “aligns with state laws and fiscal responsibility.”

The Commission, which is leading the launch of WYST, is currently still engaging with vendors as it relates to the “development, deployment, and management of WYST.”

“The next phase of testing and customizing smart contracts is an imperative step towards delivering the best product for Wyoming and stable token holders,” said Commission Executive Director Anthony Apollo. “Once launched, WYST will grant holders the ability to transmit dollar-denominated transactions of any value, anywhere in the world, nearly instantly, with significantly reduced fees compared to traditional ACH or wires.”

The testing process is expected to occur throughout Q2 2025, leading up to the potential July launch.

Stablecoins remain at the center of crypto headlines in recent days and weeks, highlighted by the GENUIS Act, a bipartisan bill to create a regulatory framework for the tokens and their issuers.

On Tuesday, Wyoming-based Custodia Bank said it created the first bank-issued stablecoin on Ethereum. Wyoming’s launch of WYST would be the “first fiat-backed and fully-reserved stable token issued by a public entity in the United States,” according to the release.

Trump vs. BRICS, the Battle for Global Currency Supremacy

Trump vs. BRICS, the Battle for Global Currency Supremacy

Geopolitical Analyst:  3-26-2025

The global financial landscape is undergoing a significant shift, and at the heart of this transformation lies a power struggle for the future of global currency supremacy.

 For decades, the US dollar has reigned supreme, serving as the cornerstone of international trade, investment, and holding the coveted title of the world’s primary reserve currency.

However, the rise of new economic powerhouses, particularly the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), and the expansion of the BRICS+ coalition, are challenging the dollar’s long-held dominance.

The emergence of these powerful economies, spearheaded by China and Russia, has ignited a strategic rivalry with the United States, each side vying for control over the future global currency system.

Fueling this competition is the legacy of former President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy, which sought to solidify the US dollar’s position. Meanwhile, the BRICS+ nations are actively exploring alternatives to de-dollarize and diminish the US currency’s influence.

But what do these competing forces mean for the global economy, and is the US dollar truly in danger of losing its coveted position as the world’s reserve currency?

The US dollar’s dominance in the global financial system spans nearly a century. After World War II, the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944 established the US dollar as the central currency for international trade and finance. This landmark agreement, which pegged other currencies to the US dollar, solidified its position as the world’s reserve currency.

Even the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the early 1970s couldn’t dethrone the dollar, which continued to reign supreme in global finance.

Several factors have contributed to the dollar’s unparalleled strength. Foremost among them is the sheer size and resilience of the US economy. As the world’s largest economy, the United States boasts a financial system that is deep, liquid, and trusted by investors worldwide. This inherent stability attracts capital and reinforces the dollar’s attractiveness.

Furthermore, the dollar has become the default currency for key global markets, most notably the oil market. The “petrodollar” system, which mandates that oil transactions be conducted in dollars, has been instrumental in cementing the dollar’s central role in global trade and demand.

Beyond economic factors, the dollar has also benefitted from its status as the preferred reserve currency for central banks worldwide. The United States’ considerable political and military influence further reinforces the dollar’s dominance. Countries looking to engage in trade with the US or maintain access to its vast markets are incentivized to hold dollar reserves, effectively reinforcing the dollar’s global position.

Wednesday Evening Chat with MarkZ. 03/26/2025

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good evening, MarkZ and RV gang.

Member: Good Evening all…..Hoping for  some Solid RV news tonight

MZ:  Some interesting news from the group side today. There are reports from other people’s contacts saying a number of the groups have their funds and are preparing for distribution.  Members of the groups do not have those funds yet. I heard this starting from reputable contacts late yesterday …This gives me hope we are about to see those distributions

MZ: Once that goes- then it is all ready to roll

Member: A shotgun start…woonoo

Member: Reports are not confirmations though.

MZ: Yes and while they look and sound great- they are not confirmations. I am waiting for folks I know personally to give me those confirmations before I get to excited.

Member: Wolverine’s been saying that Pentecostal group have received their funds. Not sure about distribution though

Member: I was told that Iraq budget tables have been approved, and its not being sent to the council of ministers-I hope it’s true!

MZ:  Yes- we are finally getting some solid movement on that front. This gives us a bit of hope for this weekend.    “The Minister of Planning announces the completion of the preparation of the budget tables and their submission to the Council of Ministers.” 

Member: So, after they discuss the budget tables, 15 days to implement?  Hope its sooner than that though.

Member: Does it matter that the Iraqi government is on a 10 day vacation?

MZ: Parts of the government are on that vacation . Part are still working. Ministers of parliament are still working (MP’s)

MZ: This one is really interesting: “ The US government is a big money laundering operation- John Rubino”   There are some big parts in this I think are very important.

MZ: “ Interest payments are spiraling to infinity because we have overspent.   With  massive amounts of debt and currency creation we have hit the death spiral for the dollar and other big fiat currencie…this means the cost to maintain this debt starts to spiral out of control and people lose faith. Then the currency collapses or you have a “currency reset”.

MZ: The Trump administration contains a lot of “gold bugs” . There is a decent chance that instead of having a collapse because the dollar is evaporating, that this government will be smart enough to do the monetary reset. To go back to the “Gold Standard” or some type of commodity based standard where we peg the dollar to something that is real and cannot be created in infinite quantities on a printing press.

MZ: in this scenario the dollar sinks in value and gold needs to be 10K an ounce or higher. Gold has to go way up on price in a “reset”. This is a fact throughout history. If gold goes up 3x’s…then silver will go 5-10x’s

https://usawatchdog.com/us-government-is-a-big-money-laundering-operation-john-rubino/

MZ: This is not me or any other gurus saying this. We have heard this from John Rubino, Jim Rickards, and Andy Schectman and some other great economists. They are all telling us this. We have already hit the death spiral and there is only way out- A reset.

MZ: There is legislation sitting in congress right now –in committee to change the value of gold….they are preparing.

Member: Thanks Mark and mods. See everyone in the morning

Member: It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Clare:  Iraq has the fourth largest oil reserves in the world.

3/26/2025 - Baghdad

State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) highlighted the importance of Iraqi oil and its vital role in global markets on Wednesday, noting that Iraq possesses the fourth-largest proven oil reserves in the world, at approximately 145 billion barrels.

The company said: “The promotion and sale of Iraqi crude oil is taking place in the three main markets (the Asian market, the European market, and the American market), in addition to the African market, by participating in international forums and conferences and holding meetings with major international companies directly or through the official website for online participation, in addition to inviting and providing the opportunity for major international companies, under announced conditions and within the established contexts, to participate in spot cargo auctions (Spot Cargo), which has worked to attract many international companies to be permanent customers for purchasing Iraqi crude oil, while emphasizing that the marketing strategy followed is to focus on markets that offer the highest returns and the best stability of demand, with flexibility in directing shipments according to global price changes to the rest of the markets to export the full available quantities of Iraqi crude oil.”

Regarding the advantages of Iraqi oil, SOMO confirmed that “global crude oils are classified and their quality is determined based on their API (specific gravity) and sulfur content. Iraqi crude oil produced on this basis is classified into (medium and heavy crude oil) based on its specific gravity. It has a high sulfur content for both types, according to the sulfur content standard. It is considered a crude oil with specifications (required globally), and is compatible with the operational plans of refineries that wish to produce specific products according to their needs.”

She explained that "among the advantages that help attract buyers are the significant and growing demand for medium and heavy crude oils, stable production, and the availability of large, stable quantities that ensure long-term supply contracts for these refineries. The geographic location and low shipping costs make Iraqi oil a favorite in the Asian market, in addition to the fair, competitive price based on market fundamentals."

She pointed out that "an increase in the API (specific gravity) means the possibility of producing larger quantities of light products with a higher price value compared to heavy products, while the higher the sulfur content in crude oil, the less desirable it is to buyers because it requires higher costs to refine it."

The company continued, "Iraq ranks fifth globally in oil production, with an output of approximately 4.27 million barrels per day, making it the second-largest producer in OPEC after Saudi Arabia. Iraq also has the fourth-largest proven oil reserves in the world, at approximately 145 billion barrels."

She pointed out that "this ranking reflects Iraq's vital role in global oil markets, as it contributes significantly to meeting global energy demand. Marketing-wise, Iraqi crude oil is considered an important oil with a good market reputation, as it is relied upon by many international refineries in their refining operations and is in relatively high demand."

She added, "Iraqi crude oil is in global demand for refineries in several countries, as Iraqi crude oil is exported exclusively to companies that own refineries, but most of the companies to which Iraqi crude oil is exported are Asian companies, the most important of which are China and India, at a rate of approximately 70%, and approximately 30% for the other two markets, European and American combined."

She explained that "the Oil Marketing Company adopts a clear strategy in accordance with the best marketing principles adopted globally through the principle of transparency and clarity in dealing with international companies specialized in the field of oil. It also adopts medium and long-term contracts to ensure the marketing of crude oil with the best return, achieving the interest of the country, which depends on more than (90%) of its budget financing on the revenues achieved by the Oil Marketing Company."

She stated that "the Oil Marketing Company also adopts the export of products such as naphtha, fuel oil, jet fuel, sulfur and any other surplus products beyond local needs, while the imports of these products vary according to the quantities and types available for export. The production costs borne by companies investing in Iraqi oil fields can indirectly affect the global prices of Iraqi oil, as the price of Iraqi crude oil depends on market factors such as supply and demand. Production costs affect Iraq's profit margins and its investments in oil, but global prices are determined more by supply and demand factors, competition, OPEC+ policies in some cases, and others. If costs rise significantly and affect Iraq's production capacity, it may lead to higher oil prices due to a shortage in supply."

Regarding the difference in selling prices for Iraqi oil compared to Brent crude prices, the company said: “Iraqi crude oil is sold at a higher or lower price than Brent crude, due to differences in quality, specifications, shipping costs, infrastructure challenges, and competitive pricing policy. However, it varies according to global market conditions, as Brent crude oil is the benchmark used in the European market. There are also other oils that differ from Brent crude oil, such as Dubai + Oman crude oil for the Asian market and the ASCI sour crude oil index in the US market.”

She added, "OPEC and OPEC+ policies determine production levels, which are reflected in global prices, impacting the buying and selling of Iraqi crude oil. The greater the production restrictions, the higher the prices, but the lower the quantities sold, and vice versa. These policies also impact its market share and financial returns."  LINK

Militia Man  We haven't heard anything about the oil running...It hasn't started through the Cyan Port.  Salaries haven't been completely 100% sorted, the '23, '24 budget schedules haven't been exposed and they haven't gone to the parliament yet.  But now parliament is pushing for that to happen.  What are they waiting for?  They're waiting for an exchange rate...

Frank26    Article:  “Blessed by Tehran, a ‘framework’ agreement to protect American interests and prohibit unilateral military support for Palestine.”  Article quote: “The main forces within the Coordination Framework…reached an agreement to remove the Popular Mobilization Forces from the political file, in addition to merging all factions within the Popular Mobilization Forces Authority. The agreement stipulates that all Popular Mobilization Forces…are subject to the orders of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces only, and that no party may act outside the framework of official military orders under any name or reason…noting that Tehran, which is the supporter of the axis of resistance, has supported this”  Is this for real?  Because if this if for real…we now have security and stability!

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 3-25-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 3-25-25 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It's Tuesday, March 25th  and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for tuning in, wherever you're located all over the globe. Thank you Sat team for getting the signal out all over the place, all over the globe, in so many different languages. We appreciate you. So let's go ahead before we go to sue for teaching another beautiful teaching that she found for us tonight. Let's go ahead and pray the call in.

Let's get into the Intel tonight and see where we stand. I know that we're getting a lot of good information in the last two or three days especially. And let's talk for a minute about rates on screens -Now the rates on the bank screens are tied to the Forex, and the rates have been blinking. They started blinking very quickly on forex and bank screens and redemption center screens too.

Now redemption  center screens are not tied to Forex. They're tied to something that's different. They can be, they can be put at whatever rate needs to be there for that particular currency, for us and for others  too. So we look at this and say, okay, the rates are all blinking very quickly.

 Now, what about more recently, like, let's say, starting Friday or Saturday. Did they slow down? Yes, they slowed down. And when the rates that were blinking get slowed down to its very slowly blinking, pretty soon, you're going to have the rates stabilized. The rates will settle in a given rate, and they'll be they'll be there. And that's what we wanted to see.

We thought that might happen by Friday, you know when it actually occurred, was Monday, yesterday, at just a few minutes after 10 pm. So they settled in  that's good for us. That's very good. That means the rates are there on the redemption center screens, and that's a good thing for us to move forward.

As of tonight, I'm hearing very good things about everything moving forward for us, I'm hearing that we should be getting good news we are liber toll free number, and we're also looking to get emails from Wells Fargo, and I think we're looking very closely at what will happen tomorrow for us, and it could be a Wednesday, Thursday type thing, or we might actually end up getting notified on Wednesday and yesterday, but we don't know that absolutely, and we may end up, You know, on Charlie Ward’s Thursday realistically, everything is moving forward –

It’s in the situation now,  from what I understand this has moved through the various chambers, and I'm sure Department of Defense, for example, is looking at this from a security point of view, making sure everything is all set. All the P's are crossed in the eyes are dotted before the green light and Treasury gets the green to release those emails from Wells Fargo to all the currency holders that we know up here in let's just call it North America for sure, the US and probably Canada.

But all that is being positioned for release, and I think that that's going to be very much welcome for all of us to receive that and to know that we can record our exchanges with the redemptions in and go forward with pre destruct with tier three and tier four, tier three being the bond holders, and they get their access to funds pretty much with an email to tell them they have access.

And then we should be getting our notifications telling us that we can set our appointments and begin setting appointments for the redemption centers and going in for our exchanges.

So I think to the extent that the shotgun start is those two things, you know, the bondholders getting access to their liquidity in their accounts, and us getting access to the toll free numbers to set our appointments for our exchanges, seem to me that's pretty much the term shot gun start with a plan in that sense. Other than that, it looks like everything is moving in the direction we want it to be in.

I think today being Tuesday, it's hard to say for sure, but maybe Thursday, we have these numbers and we have our appointments set, and hopefully we can do a celebrate call on Thursday. And if that is the case, then it might not be a long call. It could be a 20 to 30 minute celebration call.

But I'm excited about that. I'm excited about the potential that we have to move forward with this and help level the playing field around the globe. And, you know, help give back to humanity for everything that God's given us. But we look at this blessing as an opportunity to help in rebuild America, which my number one project, rebuild America.

Number two, rebuild  inational we were talking about starting with the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic Haiti, and working in three areas to start with. And then, of course, we'll take it from there beyond that, but to work with rebuild America.

And I know that we're not going to be saying the new infrastructure, per se, that's something the NESARA was going to be over, just like internationally GESARA is going to take that in in South America and Latin America and Africa and other parts of the world, but we'll concentrate on homes, rebuilding homes that are in need of it. I want to see community gardens in these rebuild America, cities and towns.

I'm excited about where we are. I think we're extremely close release of everything. And at least from what I'm hearing, things are really moving forward, and we should, we should get this. I would think pretty soon, this couple of days, is what I'm hearing. So we'll see about that.

April Trump has a lot on his plate. He's got a lot of things to bring out on April 2. So I believe we're going to get started with what we have prior to that, at least that's what I'm hearing that we still have to get that done. I really believe our Social Security increase and our dose checks will come out for the peak of April. That's the latest update I had since our last fall, Thursday night.

 And I think that we're going to get the restitution reconciliation allowance, the R and R, as I call it, I think that is there for us that it changed. It will be at the redemption center, and they'll either volunteer or do us a little asset.

Otherwise, you guys know the drill on the quantum financial system and how the funds will go into that quantum account, and you'll move a certain amount of funds into your primary wells account or secondary wells account, if you have those set up, and it's going to be that'll have to hold you for 60 days, and then you'll be up for 60 days, you'll be able to move freely into one or more of those accounts.

So I think it's really interesting everything that's happened out behind the scenes, and I'm looking forward to a new update on that, and maybe tomorrow I'll have that. But in meantime, everybody will look forward to seeing what happens now on Thursday, and hopefully we have numbers, and we'll put those on the website, our homepage on big calluniverse.com and we will send out a we'll send out an email with the number to those that have registered for that purpose on the site.

Okay, read your email. There's no cost. I'll send that out and email last number, but last but the numbers come out and we put them up. I say numbers. I expect one 800 number. After that comes out, we'll put it on the home page of the website, and then everybody just go to big call universe.com and see it okay and take it I appreciate everybody out there. We thank you for calling.
