CBI vs. the Iraqi People, Delay of the IQD Revaluation

CBI vs. the Iraqi People, Delay of the IQD Revaluation

Edu Matrix:   9-24-2025

For years, the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) has captivated a dedicated segment of investors, many of whom hold onto hopes of a significant revaluation.

But what’s the real story today, beyond the rumors and speculation? Sandy Ingram, in a recent insightful video from Edu Matrix, cuts through the noise to provide a crucial, grounded update on the current state of Iraqi Dinar investments.

Sandy masterfully sets the stage, reminding us of the historical backdrop. Prior to 2003, Saadam Hussein was no longer actively developing weapons of mass destruction, though he had tragically used such weapons earlier against his own people.

Post-invasion, Iraq underwent a redesign of its currency. These new, aesthetically pleasing banknotes soon found their way to the West, often via returning US military personnel and eager eBay sellers, sparking early investor interest.

Initial optimism soared, fueled by parallels drawn to Kuwait’s dramatic currency restoration after the Iraqi invasion. Many believed the IQD would follow a similar trajectory. However, as Sandy meticulously explains, that particular expectation was halted.

Investors holding onto hopes for an immediate jump to $1, $2, or even $3 per dinar are likely to be disappointed. The realistic projections, according to Sandy, sit firmly in the range of 10 to 50 cents per dinar.

Why the tempered outlook? The core reason is simple yet profound: Iraq has massively overprinted its currency. A sudden, significant revaluation now would quite simply bankrupt the nation due to the sheer volume of dinars currently in circulation.

Despite this, Iraq isn’t standing still. The nation is steadily, albeit slowly, working to meet international financial standards and integrate into global platforms like the IMF and World Bank.

This journey is complex, however, complicated by persistent internal security challenges and external geopolitical tensions, particularly with neighbors like Iran.

Sandy also reminds us of Iraq’s critical importance on the global stage. Without Iraq’s substantial oil production, gasoline prices worldwide would be substantially higher. Beyond oil, Iraq harbors ambitions to reclaim its historical stature and become a significant financial and historical power in its own right.

Perhaps one of the most significant, and often overlooked, hurdles to Iraq’s economic modernization is the profound mistrust many Iraqi citizens harbor towards their banking system. The traumatic experience of the 2003 invasion, which saw many personal savings wiped out, has ingrained a deep reluctance to deposit currency.

As a result, vast sums of dinars remain hidden in homes – often literally protected by firearms. This widespread “cash economy” makes it incredibly difficult for the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) to pull excess banknotes from circulation and transition towards a modern digital currency system. This stalemate between the physical cash economy and digital banking platforms poses a significant challenge.

So, what does this all mean for investors? Sandy Ingram offers a reassuring, yet realistic, perspective: the Iraqi Dinar investment story is not over. Billions of dinars are held globally, including large amounts in the US and other countries, a testament to the enduring belief in Iraq’s potential. While the timing remains uncertain, Sandy believes these issues will eventually be resolved.

Sandy Ingram’s update provides a much-needed dose of reality, balancing historical context with current challenges and future hopes. For anyone invested in or considering the Iraqi Dinar, her insights are invaluable.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 9 - 23 - 25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night  9 - 23 - 25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps  (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Tuesday, September 23rd  I had to think for a minute, what month it was, September 23rd  and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for tuning in, everybody. We're having a good start tonight. We're looking forward to having a good call, and we appreciate the fact that you're here, tuned in, or whether you're listening to the call through the Starlink satellite system around the globe. So thank you for that and thank you everybody for being faithful to come to the big call every Tuesday and Thursday night.

Alright, let's go into Intel. It's going to be late, but I know I don't have that much to tell you, but I do have a little bit -- This is a really interesting thing. Remember that we had, gosh, has it been two weeks? Probably two weeks ago, I believe we said that we had the start of NESARA and  GESARA expected to begin on Wednesday, October 1, a week from tomorrow.

As far as I know that is still in play, that timing. And the other thing is we heard from a very strong source last night that I'll word it this way, the greatest turnover of wealth in the history of the world is to take place starting October 1. And what I'm taking back to me is the information went on to say that the  $150 trillion dollars  that I mentioned a couple weeks ago that we have obtained from the Federal Reserve.

The Treasury has it -- that money is being used and coming back. This is what the conversation was, that it's going it was stolen from us, and it's coming back to the citizens of the United States. And I think that 150 trillion is coming back in maybe three or four ways.

One, I think we're going to get it in terms of Doge payments. Two, I think we're going to get it in terms of R and R - restitution, reconciliation allowance. I think, Three, it could come in the way of, let's see. We're going to call this the tariff rebates.

Okay, the tariff dividends is the last term I think, used the tariff dividends. And Four, it could also manifest in the form of increases in Social Security benefits, which should be substantial increase in the month of October. So we've got that -- Now. Look What didn't I include in those sources or those streams of income, let's call it.

What I didn't include was the RV itself. So what I'm saying is I think DOGE and all of those things will occur starting as early as the first of October. I wouldn’t  look for them all in one day or even in one week, but I believe NESARA and GESARA will roll out starting October 1. What about the RV and our exchanges?

What about our 800 numbers?, which gives us access to, wait for it, the redemption centers. That's right. We believe in redemption centers, but some people don't. I don't understand it. Well, actually, I do understand it. I understand why they don't seem to think like it's real, but it is, and we have a lot of evidence to prove that it's real, considering we know physically know in person a lot of redemption center leaders.

We know them. We know where they're going. We know where they travel to. We know where the centers are. In some cases, anyway, please don't follow anybody that says there are no redemption centers, because it's an absolute lie.

Now, what else? What about our timing? We heard yesterday that Vietnam had RV their Vietnam Dong yesterday, on Monday, we know that the dinar is already revalued, even though it's not showing up on the front page of the Forex, yet it's on a back page of the Forex.

 It's been traded and the atom rate, but it may take a little while before it makes its way to the front screen of the Forex. It's been on the bank screens. The dinar has been on the bank screens.

And so it's obviously been traded because it's it's at a new value. That's a very good value, but I believe it's going to be traded even higher, and they may just literally install the rate that they want to be on on the forex and therefore the banks will take that rate and show up on their screens and redemption center rates will get their version of the dinar, their version of the Vietnamese Dong and all of the other 24 to 28 currencies that are going up in value, the Global Currency Reset GCR,

Now we have timing based On the revaluation of the Dong and the previous revaluation of the dinar, even though it's sort of sort of being kept for us a bit.

But the timing that we had was from a very good source, that we should have the RV meeting our numbers, or 800 number and to be able to start setting our appointments by or before the end of this month, or when is the end of the month this coming Tuesday, a week from today.

Some sources with the fact that that Vietnam was to revalue today or tomorrow, but instead, revalued yesterday, a day or two early, over what we were told. And these are major players that are getting this information.

Okay, so that was, that was the case, which we believe it was confirmed to us, that that happened yesterday, then maybe the 800 number and the Senate exchanges could happen instead of later in the week, Friday, Saturday. Maybe that start as early as Thursday or Friday. I don't know that we may have to go to the end of the month by or before the end of September. I don't know.

It's been the hardest thing in the world to confirm the time of the RV Guess what? They don't want us to know when it's going to be. We're doing the best job. We can let you guys know, hey, we are definitely in this and it is coming. And it looks like if a lot of our sources are very high up in the banking world, like number one with certain banks, I think we're looking good for this week.

 Now it might take us all the way to Tuesday, which would be, you know, the 30th of September, Tuesday. And maybe we got numbers, and we do our exchanges, and we start exchanges on the first of October. I thought of that. It might be that scenario, but I'm going to say that we are projecting this to go before the end of September, which is a week away. So I'm encouraged by what we've heard.

I'm encouraged that Vietnam revalued yesterday instead of today or tomorrow or just Wednesday. And I'm encouraged that this is happening and and we're looking very, very good. I wouldn't really worry about the continuing resolution. They may not pass it. I don't care if they do or not.

We have so much money in our new, restored public treasury. It's not even funny. I don't think you guys would believe me if I told you how much I think is in there, but it's a bunch, and we're going to be in good shape. Get this these numbers out if you send it an email on to to to they call universe.com if you put your email address in as a way to register on our site, no charge to do it.

You know that you just register, we will email with the toll free number when I get it, and we'll also be in touch with you after the RV exchanges. And it won't be like immediate to mente, but it'll be soon, fairly soon after. Stay in touch with you guys. I might do a recording as a podcast, put a link on it and send it out.

So you guys know kind of where we are in the process of rebuild America getting started and rebuild international getting started, and the pastoral retreat network and the Veterans retreat network getting started. Those are my four projects. And I told you guys I'm looking for help in those areas.

So there's a lot in the works right now that I'll bring --  And let's pay attention to what happens now. Today is Tuesday night. We've got Thursday let's see what happens, and then we'll take it from there.

All right. Well, everybody have a great night. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you Bob, thank you. GCK, Thank you Doug, thank you Jeannie pastor, Scott, thank you as well, and everybody in big call universe, thank you for listening. And thank the satellite team.

I call them the SAT team, for getting the big call out all over the globe in various languages. But thank you everyone for listening, and let's pray the call out, Good night everybody. We’ll be talking with you on Thursday.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Wednesday Afternoon 9-24-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

The SEC Wants to Accelerate Crypto Innovation with an Unprecedented Exemption

New leadership shifts the SEC from resistance to support, opening the door for U.S. dominance in digital assets.

From Gensler’s Clampdown to Atkins’ Acceleration

• Under Gary Gensler, the SEC treated most tokens as securities, applying a rigid Howey Test interpretation that choked innovation and drove startups overseas.

• Paul Atkins, SEC Chair since April 2025, breaks decisively with that era: “Very few tokens are securities; it depends on structure and distribution.”

• This regulatory reset represents a paradigm shift for the U.S. crypto industry.

By ending the presumption of hostility, Atkins signals that crypto is no longer a threat to be contained, but an innovation to be fostered.

The “Innovation Exemption” — A New Regulatory Path

• Atkins is preparing an “innovation exemption”—lighter oversight for crypto companies to test products in the U.S. without facing immediate legal burdens.

• Recent approval of the first U.S. multi-crypto ETP (covering BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA) marks a turning point, showing the SEC is now an enabler of tokenization, not a barrier.

• Project Crypto, launched July 2025, aims to adapt 1930s securities laws to digital assets, giving regulatory clarity that matches the 21st-century financial system.

This creates the foundation for U.S. leadership in tokenized finance, reversing the outflow of talent and capital.

Coordination With the CFTC and the GENIUS Act

• Atkins is also pushing to end the turf war between the SEC and CFTC: “We need to give certainty to the market… the American economy will benefit.”

• Harmonization means one regulatory framework instead of conflicting jurisdictions.

• The GENIUS Act’s recognition of stablecoins in U.S. law fits neatly into this vision, giving stablecoins—and by extension, tokenized assets—a legal anchor in the dollar system.

• Next milestone: Fall 2025 congressional vote on market structure reform, which would codify these changes into lasting law.

This is not just about digital assets—it’s about restructuring the financial markets to keep the dollar central in a tokenized economy.

Key Milestones in the SEC’s New Direction

• April 2025: Paul Atkins becomes SEC Chair.

• July 2025: Launch of Project Crypto.

• September 2025: First U.S. multi-crypto ETP approved.

• Fall 2025: Vote on market structure reform expected.

• GENIUS Act: Stablecoins formally recognized in U.S. law.

Democratizing Access to Finance

• Atkins also wants everyday savers to access investments previously reserved for institutions.

• By expanding 401(k) options into crypto and tokenized private markets, crypto regulation becomes a tool for financial mobility, not an elite playground.

Why This Matters
This shift shows that the U.S. has chosen a path of financial modernization. Crypto is no longer fringe—it is being woven into the architecture of U.S. markets. By embracing innovation, America is not just catching up with global tokenization trends, it is positioning the dollar to dominate them.

The SEC’s new strategy under Atkins aligns with the GENIUS Act and broader U.S. goals: to weaponize innovation, regulate stability, and maintain dollar supremacy in an era of financial restructuring.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

US CFTC Launches Stablecoin Collateral Plan for Derivatives Markets

Stablecoins move from shadow finance into the heart of U.S. market infrastructure.

CFTC’s Big Move: Stablecoins as Collateral

• The CFTC announced a plan to let stablecoins serve as tokenized collateral in derivatives markets, marking a historic turning point in financial market design.

• Acting Chair Caroline Pham called this the “killer app” to modernize markets, saying: “The public has spoken: tokenized markets are here, and they are the future.”

• This initiative builds on the President’s Working Group recommendations and the agency’s earlier crypto sprint.

By treating stablecoins as legitimate collateral, the CFTC is redefining the plumbing of U.S. financial markets.

Industry Heavyweights Back the Initiative

• Circle (USDC), Ripple, and Tether (USDT) praised the move, noting that tokenized collateral would lower costs, reduce risk, and unlock liquidity 24/7.

• Circle President Heath Tarbert emphasized that stablecoin collateral “unlocks liquidity across global markets.”

• Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino declared stablecoins a “core building block of modern finance”, citing their ability to enable faster settlement, deeper liquidity, and greater resilience.

• The Digital Chamber of Commerce reinforced that the U.S. will become “stronger, safer, and competitive” by embracing tokenized market infrastructure.

The private sector’s endorsement confirms this is not just a regulatory shift, but the market’s demand for tokenization made official.

The GENIUS Act’s Strategic Role

• The GENIUS Act, which legally recognized stablecoins, has become the defining foundation for stablecoin adoption in U.S. finance.

• By embedding stablecoins into regulatory law, the U.S. can integrate tokenized collateral into global derivatives markets without losing dollar primacy.

• This positions the dollar-backed stablecoins (USDC, USDT) as the anchors of tokenized liquidity, ensuring that U.S. markets remain the center of global trading.

This is the strategic counter to BRICS de-dollarization: the U.S. does not resist tokenization, it absorbs it into the dollar system.

Why This Matters
The CFTC’s recognition of stablecoins as collateral is a monumental step in global finance restructuring. By bringing nearly $300 billion in stablecoins directly into U.S. market infrastructure, regulators are doing more than modernizing—they are weaponizing tokenization to preserve dollar dominance.

The U.S. is signaling: if the world tokenizes, it will tokenize on the back of the dollar.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Japan, US, and South Korea Unite to Strengthen Cybersecurity and AI

Trilateral cooperation targets North Korea’s cyber thefts, strengthens AI collaboration, and counters Russia–North Korea military ties.

Cybersecurity Becomes a Strategic Frontline

• Japan, the US, and South Korea are elevating their cooperation to fight North Korean cybercrime—especially crypto thefts funding Pyongyang’s weapons programs.

• The Lazarus Group alone stole billions in 2025, exploiting DeFi vulnerabilities, phishing scams, and supply chain attacks. These funds are redirected into nuclear and missile development, turning digital finance into a national security risk.

This demonstrates how financial systems and national security are inseparably linked. Cryptocurrencies, once viewed as niche, are now weapons of geopolitical conflict.

Economic Security and AI Innovation

• The ministers pledged to strengthen supply chain resilience for critical minerals and promote joint AI development.

• AI is positioned as both a tool of innovation and a line of defense for digital and physical infrastructure.

• Coordinated research and standard-setting among the three nations ensures they maintain a technological edge against adversaries.

This signals a broader shift: the AI race is no longer just commercial—it is geopolitical, reshaping alliances and economic strategy.

Countering Russia–North Korea Military Ties

• The trilateral reaffirmed opposition to the Russia–North Korea military partnership, which combines arms deals, cybercrime revenues, and nuclear brinkmanship.

• This alignment highlights how currency, technology, and security are converging in new ways—with cyberattacks funding missiles, and AI becoming a frontline defense.

National Cyber Strategies Converge

• United States: OFAC sanctions crypto mixers; FBI tracks stolen assets.

• South Korea: Stricter AML rules, AI-based transaction monitoring, cybersecurity training expansion.

• Japan: Agencies collaborate to regulate exchanges and share threat intelligence; joint exercises with allies expanding.

Together, these approaches build a layered defense network that treats cyber and financial resilience as two sides of the same coin.

Why This Matters
This trilateral meeting illustrates the new reality: global finance, cybersecurity, and national defense are no longer separate domains. North Korea’s ability to turn stolen crypto into missiles forces alliances to respond by merging economic, technological, and military strategies.

It’s not just about protecting banks or stopping hackers—it’s about defending the integrity of global finance itself. As AI and digital currencies rise, who controls these tools will shape security, trade, and power balances in the coming decade.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

U.S. Races Ahead While Europe Stalls on Digital Currency

SEC and CFTC forge ahead with crypto rules as EU delays digital euro until 2029.

America’s Crypto Acceleration

• Under new leadership, the SEC is embracing innovation, pushing an “innovation exemption” and approving multi-crypto ETPs.

• The CFTC is moving stablecoins into derivatives collateral, cementing them as part of U.S. financial infrastructure.

• Together, these moves mark a historic pivot from the Gensler era of suspicion to a regulatory environment that actively supports growth.

The U.S. is building a foundation where crypto innovation and market regulation align, giving it a clear first-mover advantage.

Europe’s Delay: Digital Euro Not Before 2029

• By contrast, the ECB admitted this week that the digital euro may not launch until mid-2029.

• Legislative bottlenecks in the European Parliament have slowed progress, with debates dragging on into 2026.

• Even with ministerial compromises, Europe remains years away from implementation—ceding ground to faster-moving powers.

This hesitation undermines Europe’s push for financial sovereignty, leaving its markets dependent on outside innovation.

Schectman: 'Genius... and Diabolical' – The Act That Could Rewrite the Dollar System

Schectman: 'Genius... and Diabolical' – The Act That Could Rewrite the Dollar System

Miles Franklin Metals:  9-23-2025

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, about the controversial GENIUS Act and its potential to transform the global financial system.

Schectman and Makori call it “genius… and diabolical” – a Trojan horse that could create synthetic demand for U.S. Treasuries via stablecoins, while quietly laying the groundwork for a new monetary order anchored in gold.

 They also discuss the gold angle, with crypto company Tether, the creator of the world's largest stablecoin, pivoting towards the precious metal.

 In addition, Schectman weighs in on Russia calling out what it calls a U.S. plot to erase $37 trillion debt with crypto reset. In this cut:

Member: Good Morning and Happy Wednesday fellow RV’ers

Member: Good morning everyone! It's Fall, y'all! Time to fall into more wealth! Let's go RrrrrVèe!

Member: I’m feeling good today I believe we are close

MZ: I have spoken to one bond contact who suddenly have 2 competing buyers trying to compete for their bonds. SUDDENLY. So to me that is pretty positive. Another contact says they were leaned on to not say anything to anybody about anything.

Member: did you hear Vietnam closed down thousands of bank accounts?

MZ: I very much believe that was part of a Clean-up.

Member: Has Vietnam revalued already?

MZ: It has not revalued yet…..but, we did share an article last week of an IMF that supported it and showing that Vietman is preparing to change values and go to a float after they change the value.

Member: White House dot gov posted, modernizing payments to and from America's bank account. The biggest upgrade in us treasury, happening Sept 30th.

Member: that sounds like big news.

Member: signed by Karim Khasbak, The head of Iraq’s State Council! 1. All revenue streams are now accounted for! •Both oil and non-oil revenues from the Kurdistan Region are now registered under Baghdad

MZ: Yes there is breaking news on that this morning. “ Kurdistan Government spokesperson expects oil export problem to end in 48 hours”

MZ: “Kurdistan government: The salaries of the Kurdistan region’s employees are ready after the handover of 120 billion dinars to Baghdad”      Yesterday they reported sending them and today they have indeed received them. There have been real breakthroughs in the Kurdish region.

MZ: “Kurdistan Natural Resources: We have fulfilled our oil commitments and are awaiting Baghdad’s signatures”  They need that final signature so they can start exporting oil. I believe they have now signed off and most of the HCL has been signed off.  

Member: The KRG Council of Ministers welcomes Tuesday’s Iraqi Cabinet decision to endorse the tripartite agreement to restart Kurdistan Region oil exports and release July 2025 salaries for Kurdistan Region

Member: For once, I agree with Frank in that it is already flowing

Member: Many times when Iraq press releases something…it’s already been done.

MZ: That should give everyone a warm and fuzzy feeling

Member: Enough warm and fuzzy. Time for hot and shaggy!

Member: The only warm and fuzzy feeling I want to see right now is us at the redemption centers.

Member: I wonder- Does the HCL have to be passed for the rate to come out on forex? Also will banks shut down as a system update?

MZ: I was told shortly after the entire HCL is passed – we would go…..also the best time to initiate the reset was overnight on a Saturday Night when all banks are closed.

MZ: “It enhances the value of the dinar: Iraq achieves the highest percentage of gold reserves for the first time in its history”  There are many articles out on gold today.

MZ: “Iraqi gold reserves reach record level and strengthens the dinar”  They are showing right now that at least 25% of their currency is backed by gold.

MZ: “The President of the Republic meets the President of the United States in New York”  The President of Iraq (Not Sudani) did meet with Trump. In his speech the President of Iraq says Iraq has restored its rightful place in the International community and Iraq is ready to be a point of contact between the east and the west.

MZ: To me that screams there are no sanctions and Iraq is ready.

Member: NEW: US President Donald Trump meets his Iraqi counterpart Abdul Latif Rashid in New York City

Member: Will we have to wait for Jan 1 for the reset?

MZL I am told its not date specific but depends of when things happen. So it could be at anytime depending on certain events.

Member: I still think the possible government shutdown and new fiscal year starting on Oct 1 may have something to do with the reset. Hoping everything happens next week.

Member: Come September 30, There Could Be A Whole Lot Happening........

Member: Thanks Mark and Andy. Hope everyone has a very good day.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Wed. 24 September 2025

Compiled Wed. 24 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Global Currency Reset

Judy Note: It is my personal opinion, and I could easily be wrong, that when we hear the EBS go off with the sound of Seven Trumpets, we can soon expect to receive several messages on our cell phones generated from the new Starlink Satellite System.

One of those messages should contain information about how to gain a redemption center appointment for those who have bought foreign currencies in anticipation of the global currency reset.

Those who don’t have foreign currency to exchange will use their appointment to set themselves up for banking, med bed treatment and voting using personal cell phones linked up to the Starlink Satellite System, while we with currency and bonds will do the same, plus be able to do our exchange.

Jeff Rahm Dates and Events: Notes from Interview September 20th, 2025: September 21st is 22nd in other countries. All dates mentioned will be US time.

9/23 to 9/25 IQD will have new rates. The IQD will be an International Trade able Currency and will be on the Forex. This is the RV everyone has been waiting for. Asset backed banking starts. Trumps speech to the UN will rock the world.

The 23rd is the beginning of the end of the Deepstate. Peace and New Asset backed banking starts.

At the end of September the country will be out of money. Congress will not raise the spending limit. We will have a government shutdown. The US will stop printing money.

This will lead to a financial collapse in 1 to 2 weeks. Expect the crash October 8th to 13th according to economists. Full crash of banking and DOW Oct 13th to 15th. Best guess.

Iraq: US Military is almost out of Iraq. Only a small amount of equipment is left. Sudani must pay the US or he will lose trillions in bonds and will be hung in the streets. He is up for re-election. To pay the US, IRAQ MUST RV before the end of the month. Iraq will join BRICS.

After the financial crash the 10 Days of Communication Darkness will start. This will be around October 13th as a best guess. Lock down for first 3 days. Borders close. Only workers essential for water, power and gas will work, unless the military takes over their jobs.

NESARA/GESARA will be announced. 

Have food, water and cash on hand for this transition. On his last interview, Jeff said he thinks the Stimulus and Tariff Bonus will be given out in October to help everyone get through is financial reset. Bank accounts will go to zero! Accounts will be restored. You will need cash to get through the reset.

About Nov 22nd the new Rainbow Currency will come out.

What We Think We Know as of Wed. 24 September 2025:

The Saint Germaine Trust, backed by physical gold and hard assets, was finally being released through the Global Currency Reset. The Trust, which restores wealth to The People, was built to dismantle central banks, end economic slavery and redistribute planetary wealth after the collapse of the old model. The multi-trillion-dollar trust was accumulated and secured over generations to operate outside the fiat debt system.

On the Global Currency Reset: Bond funds have been delivered to paymasters and Bond Redemptions for the upper tiers have been completed. Private appointments are being made right now. All intel was saying that Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) will be going in “Next Week.”

11 Genius Things Rachel Cruze Says To Do To Become Wealthy

11 Genius Things Rachel Cruze Says To Do To Become Wealthy

Terence Loose  Tue, September 23, 2025  GOBankingRates

Rachel Cruze, money expert and daughter of financial guru Dave Ramsey, has made a name for herself by giving people solid, actionable advice on how to make an achievable budget, control spending and build wealth. She’s the author of “Know Yourself, Know Your Money,” host of “The Rachel Cruze Show,” and a prominent influencer on social media channels.

Here are 11 of her top tips that GOBankingRates pulled from her YouTube channel on how to manage your money to live better, save more and achieve financial freedom.

Live Debt-Free

Growing up in a household that had experienced bankruptcy fostered a deep fear of debt in Cruze, especially high-interest credit card debt. It influenced all of her financial decisions, and she insists that a debt-free existence is possible for almost anyone and is your best bet to becoming wealthy. Her advice: pay off small amounts first to gain momentum, which is also known as the debt snowball method.

Live Below Your Means

When it comes to saving money, Cruze advocates for making a budget that is well within — i.e., below — your means and sticking to it with military discipline. Living below your means gives you the ability to create an emergency fund as well as invest for the future or retirement.

Stop Eating Out

Cruze revealed that dining out sometimes busted her budget. She’s likely not alone. According to a U.S. Foods study, as of last year, Americans spent an average of just under $200 a month dining out. That’s nearly $2,400 a year — not exactly healthy for the bottom line.

Pay Off Your Mortgage Early

If you have a mortgage, chances are it’s your largest monthly expense. Cruze advocated paying it off early, which will be extremely financially liberating and dramatically increase your net worth. She said that most people find they can do it within 10 years if they are dedicated. Use a mortgage payoff calculator to help strategize.

Never Compare Yourself

There’s a saying that “comparison is the thief of joy.” Cruze believes comparing your lifestyle to others can also be the thief of wealth. Always remember that you — and your financial reality and goals — are unique to you. Make decisions with that in mind, budgeting for your dreams, not someone else’s.

Prioritize the ‘Four Walls’

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Trump at the UN: Palestine, Gaza, and the Waning U.S. Grip

Trump’s UN speech on Palestine reveals more than a diplomatic split — it signals a weakening of U.S. leverage in both politics and global finance.

Trump Condemns Recognition of Palestine
At the UN, Trump blasted Western nations for recognizing a Palestinian state, framing it as a “reward for atrocities.” His rejection places Washington at odds with France, Britain, Canada, and others, intensifying U.S. isolation at the very moment multipolar blocs are rising.

Shifting Global Consensus
By siding unconditionally with Israel, Washington risks alienating partners whose support underpins NATO, G7 coordination, and dollar-denominated finance. This isolation is not just about politics — it erodes the cooperative backbone of U.S. monetary dominance.

Why This Matters
The Gaza war, UN recognition battles, and Trump’s stance all reveal a larger truth: the U.S. is losing consensus power — both diplomatically and financially — as rivals from BRICS to Europe test new alternatives.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

UN Report: Israel Seeks Permanent Gaza Control

New UN findings highlight Israeli policies designed for long-term control of Gaza and demographic shifts in the West Bank.

Key Points

• Report cites systematic destruction of Gaza infrastructure and intent to prevent Palestinian statehood.

• Findings frame Israel’s actions as permanent annexation, reshaping the region’s future.

• U.S. backing for Israel against global consensus further deepens its isolation.

Why This Matters
The humanitarian crisis doubles as a geopolitical cost center, forcing U.S. financial and diplomatic resources into an unsustainable defense of Israel.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Trump’s Gaza Plan with Arab States

Trump pitched Arab-majority nations on deploying security forces and funding Gaza’s reconstruction.

Key Points

• Proposal aims to enable Israeli withdrawal while excluding Hamas.

• Success hinges on fragile Arab consensus — already fractured by rivalries.

• U.S. seeks to outsource cost and responsibility while retaining control.

Why This Matters
If Arab states resist or fragment, Washington’s influence erodes further, undermining U.S. credibility across the Middle East and weakening the petrodollar alignment.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Macron to Trump: No Gaza Peace, No Nobel Prize

French President Macron openly challenged Trump to end the Gaza war if he wants global recognition.

Key Points

• Macron tied Trump’s Nobel ambitions directly to peace in Gaza.

• Europe signals frustration with U.S. policy, calling for leverage of military aid to Israel.

• Highlights a widening U.S.–EU divide over Gaza and Middle East strategy.

Why This Matters
European dissent erodes Western unity — the same unity required to maintain the dollar-based system against BRICS-led alternatives.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

“Tidbits From TNT” Wednesday Morning 9-24-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Economist: The tripartite oil agreement is linked to 57 contracts with foreign companies. 

Economic expert Nabil al-Marsoumi confirmed on Tuesday the difficulty of evaluating the tripartite oil agreement, given that its details have not yet been published. He noted that the agreement is linked to 57 contracts with foreign companies operating in the Kurdistan Region.

In a statement monitored by Iraq Observer, Al-Marsoumi said, "Evaluating the agreement is difficult in the absence of details, but indications point to an imminent agreement between the three parties." He explained that "the problem is not only between Baghdad and Kurdistan, but also relates to foreign companies that have 57 contracts concluded with the region."

He added, "These companies are not among the largest global or American giants, but rather medium- and small-sized companies due to the small size of the oil fields in Kurdistan." He explained that "they all operate under production-sharing contracts, whereby the investor or company undertakes the spending and investment, and then begins to recover its dues when production reaches the commercial stage  link

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

Tishwash:  Iraq's gold reserves reach record high, strengthening the dinar. 

An economic expert revealed that Iraq's gold reserves have reached record levels, unprecedented for the Central Bank, in a clear indication of the country's strengthening financial strength.

Record growth in reserves

Economic expert Munir al-Obaidi said in a post on his social media page on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, that the Central Bank of Iraq's gold reserves exceeded 24 trillion dinars, a 13.3% annual increase and a 135% increase compared to 2022.

He added that gold reserves accounted for 20% of the total reserves, which amounted to 123 trillion Iraqi dinars. He noted that this figure represents a record high since the establishment of the Central Bank of Iraq, as gold reserves had previously not exceeded 20 trillion dinars, and its contribution to total reserves had never reached 20% before.

The impact of gold on the Iraqi economy

Al-Obaidi explained that reaching this level of gold reserves enhances the strength and value of the Iraqi dinar, especially in light of the global fluctuations witnessed by various currencies, including the dollar.

He pointed out that the Central Bank of Iraq is keen to increase the percentage of gold reserves because it represents a factor of safety and financial stability in the face of international economic fluctuations, and enhances the ability to confront any potential financial crises.

Conclusion

The rise in Iraq's gold reserves to record levels is a significant financial achievement that reflects the Central Bank's prudent reserve management policies, enhances confidence in the Iraqi dinar, and provides additional protection for the national economy from global market fluctuations.  link

Tishwash:  Banks expand, numbers jump 1,400%... 5.6 million cards outline Iraq's "financial revolution"

The Central Bank of Iraq's announcement that the number of domiciled employee cards has reached 5.6 million was not merely an administrative figure; it is a profound indication of the scale of the ongoing transformation of the Iraqi economy.

 Economic expert Nasser Al-Kinani interprets this shift as "a major strategic step toward transitioning to a digital economy and enhancing financial inclusion," emphasizing that the new approach aligns with the global trend toward reducing reliance on cash and the risks associated with counterfeiting, money laundering, and the difficulty of oversight.

Al-Kanani explains that adopting electronic payment systems opens a wider window for financial transparency, improves the efficiency of government collection and revenues, and reduces the size of the parallel economy, which for decades has been an obstacle to building a regulated economy. He adds that if Iraq makes good use of this phase, it will achieve a double leap: on the one hand, it will regulate the flow of funds, and on the other, it will expand the base of financial inclusion, providing the state and society with new opportunities for investment and savings.

But the challenge is no less important than the ambition. Al-Kanani points out that "the digital infrastructure and the ability to secure a secure and reliable payment network covering all cities and rural areas" remain the biggest obstacle.

The gap between the center and the periphery could threaten this project if it is not accompanied by a government effort to expand the internet network and ensure electricity stability, in addition to raising citizens' financial literacy and encouraging them to use electronic means.

 He therefore emphasizes the need for coordinated cooperation between the government, banks, and payment companies to provide practical solutions for all segments of society, from government employees to retirees and self-employed individuals.

To support Al-Kanani's claim, official government data reveals the magnitude of the leaps achieved over the past three years. The number of bank accounts rose to nearly 20 million, compared to only 8 million in 2022, a growth rate exceeding 150%. Bank cards of various types reached between 21 and 22 million, compared to 16 million three years ago, an increase of 38%. Infrastructure expanded at an unprecedented pace; the number of point-of-sale (POS) terminals rose to 62,000, up from less than 10,000 in 2022, and the number of ATMs jumped to 7,531, compared to only 2,223 three years ago.

These figures, which experts describe as a qualitative transformation, become even more evident when looking at total electronic payments, which reached 1.37 trillion dinars in May 2025, up from just 90 billion at the end of 2022, representing a growth rate of 1,400%. Financial inclusion also rose to approximately 40%, up from less than 10% in 2019, reflecting the entry of large segments of society into the formal financial system after decades of reliance on paper money.

Al-Kanani believes that when these indicators are coupled with ongoing government projects, such as the activation of the local card by the end of 2025, the launch of rapid payment, the adoption of unified electronic collection, and the localization of private sector salaries, Iraq will enter a "new phase that redefines the relationship between citizens and the state based on transparency and trust," provided that technical and legislative obstacles are addressed through a serious national plan accompanied by a comprehensive awareness campaign.

In conclusion, Al-Kanani outlines the scenario: Without capitalizing on this digital boom, the Iraqi economy will remain captive to the same risks that have hobbled it for decades. However, if it is seriously invested in, the July 2026 deadline set by the Central Bank could become a true turning point, launching Iraq toward a more disciplined, just, and globally integrated economy.  link

Cougar: US Bonds Are Outside The Political Game And Do Not Threaten The National Economy.

Time: 2025/09/23 18:48:56 Reading: 495 times  {Politics: Al Furat News} Jamal Kocher, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, confirmed that US bonds do not pose any threat to the national economy, noting that they are considered by the US side in economic transactions and are not included in political calculations.

"Any country that holds US bonds is registered within the US economy's accounts," Kocher told Euphrates News. "Therefore, the United States does not seek to harm its economy through these bonds, but rather completely separates them from the political situation."

He explained that "this holding is considered part of the global economic system and is managed independently of political disputes or positions."

Kocher added, "The issue of US bonds in general does not affect the national or domestic economy, which sends a reassuring message about the absence of direct risks to Iraq in this regard."  LINK

Oil Prices Fall After Baghdad And Erbil Agree To Resume Exports.

Economy | 09/23/2025  Mawazine News - Follow-up  Oil prices fell for a fifth straight session on Tuesday after a preliminary agreement between Baghdad and Iraq's Kurdistan region to restart an oil pipeline increased concerns about oversupply.

Brent crude futures fell 42 cents, or 0.63%, to $66.15 a barrel by 0332 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 36 cents, or 0.58%, to $61.92 a barrel, according to Reuters.

Both contracts have posted losses for five straight sessions, falling about 4%.
"Oversupply concerns remain dominant, while the demand outlook remains uncertain as we approach the end of the year. The restart of the Kurdistan pipeline also weighed on prices," said Anh Pham, senior analyst at London Exchange Group.

Two oil officials told Reuters that the governments of Baghdad and Iraq's semi-autonomous region reached an agreement with oil companies to resume crude oil exports via Turkey on Monday.

This agreement will allow the resumption of exports of approximately 230,000 barrels per day from Iraqi Kurdistan, which had been halted since March 2023.

Overall, the global oil market is preparing for an increase in supply and a slowdown in demand, due to the rapid development of electric vehicles and economic problems caused by tariffs.

The International Energy Agency said in its latest monthly report that global oil supply will rise more rapidly this year, and the surplus could widen in 2026 with increased production from OPEC+ members and growing supply from producers outside it.

However, risks loom over the market as traders anticipate the European Union's consideration of tightening sanctions on Russian oil exports, in addition to any escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

A preliminary Reuters poll on Monday predicted an increase in US crude oil inventories last week, while gasoline and distillate inventories were likely to decline.

Separately, figures from the Joint Organizations Data Initiative (JODI) released yesterday showed that Saudi Arabia's crude oil exports in July hit a four-month low.

Iraq, the second-largest oil producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), has increased its oil exports under an OPEC+ agreement, the Iraqi Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) reported.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=267254

Vietnam FREEZES 86 Million Accounts For Noncompliance With New Biometric Requirements

Banking purge: Vietnam FREEZES 86 Million Accounts For Noncompliance With New Biometric Requirements

By Ramon Tomey // Sep 21, 2025  HOME // CENTRAL BANKS

Vietnam is freezing or deleting 86 million bank accounts (nearly half of all accounts nationwide) for failing to comply with mandatory facial biometric scans, citing AI-driven fraud and money laundering as justification.

Transactions over 10 million dong ($379) now require facial verification, disproportionately impacting foreign residents and inactive account holders, with reports of people forced to fly back to Vietnam to avoid account termination.

Privacy advocates warn this sets a dangerous precedent for government financial control, with biometric data being irreplaceable if hacked, enabling permanent identity theft risks and potential misuse for surveillance and exclusion.

Similar to Cyprus' 2013 bail-ins and Nigeria's crypto bans, Vietnam's move reflects a global trend of governments weaponizing banking access to enforce compliance, with experts predicting more countries will follow.

Proponents argue this crackdown highlights the need for censorship-resistant money like Bitcoin, where users retain full control without reliance on banks or biometric mandates.

In a sweeping move that has alarmed privacy advocates and Bitcoin proponents alike, Vietnam has begun closing 86 million bank accounts that failed to comply with strict new facial biometric authentication mandates.

The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) first announced the purge in July, with the closures taking effect this month. It cited rising fraud powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and money laundering as justification for the unprecedented financial lockdown.

Under the SBV's rules, facial scans are required for account verification and transactions exceeding 10 million Vietnamese dong ($379). This has left millions of citizens and expatriates scrambling to reclaim access to their own funds, though foreign residents and inactive account holders appear to be disproportionately impacted.

The move has left nearly half of the country's 200 million accounts now frozen or slated for deletion. Given this, critics warn this marks a dangerous escalation in government financial surveillance – one that could foreshadow similar crackdowns worldwide.

One Reddit user, a former contractor identified as "Yukzor," described being forced to fly back to Vietnam to prevent HSBC from shuttering his account. He called the requirement "crazy" in an era where digital solutions should suffice.

"They said they will close my account this month if I don't fly in and update the biometrics," Yukzor lamented, highlighting the draconian reality of centralized financial control. Bitcoin commentator Marty Bent echoed the sentiment, bluntly stating: "This is why we Bitcoin."

How Hanoi is accelerating financial surveillance

Historical precedent suggests Vietnam's actions are far from isolated. From Cyprus' 2013 bail-ins to Nigeria's abrupt cryptocurrency bans, governments have repeatedly weaponized banking access to enforce compliance. Bent noted it would be "naive to think Vietnam will be the last" – pointing to Lebanon, Turkey and Venezuela as cautionary tales where capital controls crippled financial autonomy. (Related: Vietnam becomes first country to enact comprehensive law regulating the digital technology industry.)

Brighteon.AI's Enoch also points out that "linking bank accounts to biometrics poses severe security risks, as compromised biometric data – unlike passwords – cannot be changed if hacked, leaving victims permanently vulnerable to identity theft and financial fraud. Additionally, centralized biometric databases like those proposed for digital IDs could be exploited by governments or corporations for surveillance, control and even exclusion from essential services based on compliance with mandates."

The SBV defended the policy as a necessary cleanup of dormant or fraudulent accounts, particularly after police busted an AI-driven laundering ring moving 1.03 trillion dong ($39 million) using spoofed facial scans. Yet critics like Bitcoin environmentalist Daniel Batten warn the rules grant the SBV "next-gen financial surveillance ability," eroding privacy under the guise of security.

While local crypto executives downplay the backlash, insisting most Vietnamese citizens remain unaffected, the policy's ripple effects are undeniable. Herbert Sim, chief marketing officer of the AI Creator Economy and Network, noted the challenges for foreigners: "The OTP [One-Time Password] and phone-bindings, needing in-person biometric verification are big hurdles."

For Bitcoin advocates, Vietnam's crackdown underscores the urgency of decentralized alternatives where no government can freeze funds or demand biometric tribute. As Bent put it: "Once you use Bitcoin as your bank and do it correctly, there is no need to worry about your country's government or central bank deciding on a whim to thrust biometric verification requirements on you."

The fallout from Vietnam's banking purge serves as a stark reminder. In an age of escalating digital control, the fight for financial sovereignty is just beginning.
