Central Banks Prepare for BRICS Gold Standard Amid Dollar Distrust

As dollar confidence wanes, central banks are accumulating gold and laying the infrastructure for a new monetary paradigm.

Record Accumulation Signals a Shift

  ● In 2024, central banks globally added over 1,000 tonnes of gold, a rate not seen in recent history.
  ● Even Western institutions are reacting: Germany and Italy are reconsidering the safety of storing their gold overseas (in New York or London). 
  ● Some nations (e.g. China, Nigeria) are actively repatriating bullion stored abroad, reflecting concerns about access and control. 

These moves aren’t mere hedges — they’re strategic repositioning in a world where reserve assets can be politicized.

Gold-Backed Settlement & Payment Infrastructure

  ● BRICS Pay and other gold-settlement systems are being envisioned to bypass dollar-based infrastructure. 
  ● Some energy trades among BRICS nations are already settled partly in gold — a practical testing ground for a broader gold-backed model. 
  ● These systems won’t appear overnight, but parallel rails and architecture are being built system by system, not by sudden leaps. 

Gold has advantages: no counterparty risk, no political strings, immunity from permissioned interference.

Strategic Positioning Across Major Economies

  ● Russia, China, India, and other central banks are boosting gold reserves to reinforce their financial sovereignty. 
  ● Gold has overtaken the euro in terms of reserve share in some central bank portfolios, signaling shifting trust in fiat assets. 
  ● This is defensive more than speculative — central banks are preparing for fractures in the dollar system, not necessarily rallying behind gold’s price. 

Challenges & Realism in the Transition

  ● Not all BRICS or allied states will join a full gold standard — many prefer hybrid systems and gradual adoption. 
  ● Brazil’s central bank director has cautioned that BRICS doesn’t currently hold assets large enough to overtly rival the dollar in the near future. 
  ● Trust, liquidity, legal frameworks, and gold distribution logistics remain major obstacles.

These structural challenges mean any shift will unfold gradually — not overnight — but intention and groundwork are clear.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

Central banks are no longer passively managing gold — they’re actively repositioning reserves and building infrastructure for alternatives to the dollar-based order.

• The accumulation of gold is more than preservation — it’s control over assets that can’t be seized or blocked.

• Parallel payment systems backed by gold challenge the old fiat-led hierarchy.

• Capital will gravitate to those rails and institutions that offer reliability and sovereignty

This evolution points to a future where power over money, trade, and credit is redistributed — and the question isn’t if, but when, the new order consolidates.

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

End of King Dollar, BRICS Gold Networks, CPI Lies, and the Great Reset Explained

End of King Dollar, BRICS Gold Networks, CPI Lies, and the Great Reset Explained

The Market Sniper:  10-5-2025

The global financial system is not merely shifting; it is entering a phase of fundamental, seismic transformation.

For those paying close attention, the tremors beneath the surface—inflation, bank instability, and geopolitical maneuvering—signal the impending end of the fiat currency era initiated by the 1971 Nixon Shock.

In a recent, detailed conversation, Francis Hunt, The Market Sniper, sat down with financial analyst Bill Holter to dissect the escalating systemic risks. What follows is a summary of their stark, yet crucial, analysis covering everything from the mechanics of market failure to the necessary steps for personal preparedness.

Holter and Hunt paint a clear picture: the US dollar’s reign as the world’s reserve currency is nearing its conclusion. This is not driven by simple economic cycles but by a deliberate, geopolitical pivot.

The experts highlight the accelerating trend of nations, particularly the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and others), moving decisively away from the USD and toward a sound money paradigm backed by physical commodities and precious metals.

This shift signals the widespread loss of trust in unbacked fiat currencies. As central banks and major global players liquidate dollar assets, the demand for true, tangible wealth—physical gold and silver—soars.

Bill Holter provides crucial insights into the precious metals market, specifically silver. He details the dangerous disconnect between the paper derivatives market and the actual supply of physical metals.

A key indicator of systemic stress is the persistent “failure to deliver” in the silver market. This phenomenon suggests that the amount of paper silver traded and promised far exceeds the physical metal available, proving that the paper price is a manipulated fiction.

As nations demand physical settlement and retail investors recognize the paper manipulation, the pressure on the price of gold and silver will reach a tipping point, forcing a massive, rapid revaluation that reflects underlying real demand.

Key takeaway: Precious metals are not viewed as mere commodities by central banks anymore; they are the foundation of the next global monetary system.

One of the most insidious threats discussed is the deliberate manipulation of government statistics, particularly inflation data. By underreporting the true rate of inflation, governments obscure the actual pace at which fiat currency is losing purchasing power, lulling the public into a false sense of security.

However, the manipulation serves a greater purpose: preparing for the systemic collapse. Hunt and Holter explore the concept of the “Great Taking”—a systemic event that could manifest as government-driven asset confiscation, forced revaluation, or wealth taxes designed to resolve unpayable national debts.

When the financial system finally breaks, the integrity of contracts, property rights, and even basic public services will be jeopardized. This financial failure is projected to trigger a wave of societal consequences.

As a potential solution to a broken fiat system, governments worldwide are rapidly advancing plans for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

Hunt and Holter view CBDCs not as an innovation, but as the ultimate tool of government control. In a collapse scenario, a CBDC would grant authorities unprecedented oversight over individual spending, saving, and movement. This digital currency acts as a lockbox, allowing for instant implementation of policies like negative interest rates, expiration dates on money, and even asset freezing linked to political behavior.

While the outlook presented by Holter and Hunt is grim regarding the current institutional structure, they close by emphasizing that this era of systemic collapse also represents a historic opportunity for those who are prepared.

The time for preparation is now. Ignoring the signals being broadcast across the global financial landscape is no longer an option.

For a complete and detailed analysis of these complex topics, including Bill Holter’s precise market observations and Francis Hunt’s strategic insights, we highly recommend watching the full video conversation available from The Market Sniper.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sun. 5 Oct. 2025

Compiled Sun. 5 Oct. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Summary:

For those tracking the extraordinary shift in global finance and governance, the next two weeks are poised to rewrite history.

Sources confirm that the long-anticipated Global Currency Reset (GCR) is now actively underway, quietly ushering in a gold/asset-backed Quantum Financial System (QFS) just as the old fiat structure prepares for its final, dramatic collapse.

As we are repeatedly reminded, we are merely watching the end of a grand cinematic drama. The indicators are now accelerating, suggesting that the climax is imminent.

A fundamental requirement for the Global Currency Reset has long been global stability. According to reports, President Trump now holds seven major peace deals, fulfilling the prerequisite for the world to transition to asset-backed currencies.

The true kingpin in this global shift—the Iraqi Dinar—has been (allegedly) confirmed to have revalued.

Iraq’s celebration of its National Day, recently extended for a full week (beginning Sat. Oct 4, 2025), is interpreted by experts as the public acknowledgment of their monetary reform completion. This celebration  (allegedly) anchors the start of the final phase.

With Iraq’s Dinar (allegedly)  revalued and bond holders reportedly receiving payments, attention turns to Tier 4b—the currency and bond holders awaiting exchange appointments.

Three high-level sources suggest that notifications to set these crucial appointments could be delivered as early as Monday, October 5, or Tuesday, October 6, 2025. This movement confirms that the system is ready for the public to participate in the greatest wealth transfer in history.

The period between October 13th and 15th is widely anticipated to be the breaking point for the globalist-controlled fiat system, signaling the necessary transition for GESARA to officially take effect.

Experts are warning of a significant banking and market collapse around this date. This event is not viewed as a disaster by the White Hats, but rather a necessary cessation of the corrupt financial structure.

While the Stock Market craters, the backbone of modern finance—the SWIFT Global Banking System—will meet its end. However, the world will not be left in chaos: 209 countries  (allegedly) already have banks connected to the new asset-backed Quantum Financial System (QFS).

This date has been designated as World Quantum Day, the moment when the foundational laws of NESARA/GESARA are anticipated to become official globally.

A full banking and market collapse on Wednesday, the 15th, is expected to trigger the long-awaited activation of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS).

Once the EBS signals with the sound of Seven Trumpets, citizens can expect to receive key personal messages via the Starlink Satellite System regarding their next steps—including instructions for scheduling Redemption Center appointments, (allegedly) utilizing future Med Bed treatments, and secure quantum voting protocols.

Beneath the drama of the market collapse, the foundation for extraordinary economic reform—GESARA—has  (allegedly) been put into play.

On October 1, 2025, President Trump reportedly launched a $150 trillion financial operation via the National Endowment Directive. This act unlocks vast mineral assets (Gold, Silver, Rare Earths) sealed away for decades beneath U.S. federal land—resources valued at more than the GDP of every nation combined.

The QFS, running node by node through secure Starlink satellites, ensures that all new transactions are transparent, incorruptible, and tied to true asset value, officially ending the reign of the Deepstate Cabal’s economic empire.

We are told the silent preparation phase of this monumental shift is over. The moment is here.

As the old structure crumbles, the new one—built on gold, transparency, and abundance—is (allegedly)  fully operational. For those involved in the physical currency exchanges, prepare for your notification between October 5th and 6th. For all citizens, prepare for the EBS, which is the signal that the QFS and NESARA/GESARA are officially rolling out worldwide.

The game of scarcity, debt, and dependency is  (allegedly) over. We are entering a new paradigm enforced by asset-backed currency and quantum technology, bringing justice and prosperity back to the people.

Samson   Article:   “THE PRIME MINISTER DIRECTS THAT THE NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATIONS CONTINUE FOR A WEEK”

Militia Man  You have an extension to a one day holiday with a long weekend attached to it.  You can’t make this stuff up…Basically national day extended for a week…  Sudani’s directive extends to manifestations of a celebration for a full week through October 10th…Article quote:  “This is unusual and the standard is a single day off.”  Adding that extra time is obviously a move on purpose…They’ll be able to have cultural shows, military parades.  They’ll have sovereignty emphasis.  

Frank26  The holiday has been extended to seven days.  What you got up your sleeve? Nothing Bullwinkle.  You have to have watched Rocky the flying squirrel to know what that means.  Never mind.  He went from 3 days to 7 days.  We’re not stupid…There is nothing to celebrate at 1310.  Quit playing with us.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Morning 10-5-25

Economist: Controlling Exchange Rates Is The Responsibility Of The Central Bank, And The Challenges Facing Banks Continue.
 
    Time: 2025/10/03 16:11:39 Reading: 90 times  Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert Salah Nouri affirmed on Friday that the   financial system and exchange rate control    are among the primary responsibilities of the Central Bank of Iraq,         noting that the bank faces numerous challenges in this area. 

Nouri told Al Furat News Agency, "The Central Bank faces challenges in light of the fact that  many private banks operate outside    its     controls and  conditions, in addition to the   conditions set by the US Federal Reserve    regarding foreign currency transfers."

He added, "Controlling exchange rates in the parallel market    is difficult to completely eliminate.

Rather, the solution lies in    reducing price fluctuations  through the flexibility of the central bank's tools     in response to global fluctuations."

 Nouri continued, "Private banks'   response and   adaptation to the Central Bank's lending instructions    contributes to revitalizing the Iraqi economy.

" He explained that  "the instructions for   external financial transfers for import purposes  are similar to the US Federal Reserve's procedures in this area,   which requires private banks to ully   adapt and   comply    with the Central Bank's instructions."   https://alforatnews.iq/news/خبير-اقتصادي-ضبط-أسعار-الصرف-من-مهام-البنك-المركزي-وتحديات-المصارف-مستمرة    

Revealing US Efforts To Ensure Continued Kurdistan Oil Exports
 
October 3, 2025  Washington / Iraq Observer follow-up   The Trump administration is working to ensure continued oil exports from northern Iraq— resumed after a two-year hiatus—in the long termto support the country's economy,generate gains for American companies, andcounter Iran's influence in the region.
 
According to a report published by the Asharq Al-Awsat website, the United States is focused on    ensuring the  implementation of the oil export agreement and   fulfilling its financial obligations,   according to a senior US State Department official    who requested anonymity due to the confidentiality of the talks. The official added that
 
Washington has been working over the past weeks to bring    international oil companies   together with the    Iraqi and   Kurdish governments,  an effort that included hundreds of phone calls and meetings     that paved the way for reaching the agreement.
 
The United States' role in    resuming shipments through the pipeline    to Turkey's Mediterranean coast    also enhances the agreement's long-term sustainability.  

The current agreement is only valid until the end of the year,    during which the parties are scheduled to hold talks on the companies' dues,  amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars,    while Türkiye is pushing for new terms for the transportation of crude.
 
Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained last week in a post on the X platform hat  the agreement “will deliver tangible benefits to both   Americans and  Iraqis,   while reaffirming Iraq’s sovereignty.”
 
According to Iraqi and Kurdish officials,US pressure was a decisive factor in reaching the export agreement, and Washington is now    seeking to transform it into a long-term agreement    that also protects the interests of American companies.       https://observeriraq.net/الكشف-عن-سعي-امريكي-لضمان-استمرار-صادر/

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Government Shutdown: Domestic Fallout and Global Ripples
The 2025 government shutdown is exposing cracks in the U.S. financial system — and the ripple effects are spreading across global markets.

Domestic Disruptions: The Shutdown’s Toll on Americans

  ● Federal Operations Halted — The U.S. government officially shut down at 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to pass a budget, forcing over 800,000 federal employees into furlough or unpaid work.

  ● Critical Services Impacted — While Social Security and Medicare continue under mandatory funding, discretionary programs, public lands, and grant programs face suspension.

  ● National Parks and Infrastructure — About 9,300 of 14,500 park employees have been furloughed, leaving visitor services and maintenance stranded. Federal housing markets around D.C. are seeing ripple effects as unpaid workers cut back or list properties.

  ● Economic Hit — The White House estimates up to $15 billion lost per week, with unemployment expected to climb by 43,000 in a single month of disruption.

  ● Credit Rating Risk — European rating agency Scope warned that fiscal dysfunction could strain the U.S. credit outlook, adding uncertainty to global bond markets.

Economic Strain & Domestic Uncertainty

  ● Stalled Programs and Delayed Spending — From DOJ domestic violence grants to small business loans, federal funding halts are rippling through states and private contractors.

  ● Market Jitters — While Wall Street has priced in temporary disruptions, prolonged paralysis could dampen consumer sentiment, federal investment, and GDP growth.

  ● Structural Warning Sign — Analysts note that every week of shutdown trims roughly 0.1 percentage point from quarterly growth — a warning sign for an economy already absorbing inflation pressures and global headwinds.

Global Ramifications: Financial Reverberations Beyond Washington

  ● European Exposure — Analysts estimate that a two-week U.S. shutdown could cost the EU €4 billion in lost activity; an eight-week standoff could stretch that loss to €16 billion.

  ● Investor Confidence and Market Volatility — The shutdown adds a destabilizing variable to already uncertain global conditions — especially for nations reliant on U.S. liquidity and dollar flows.

  ● Sovereign Credibility Under Scrutiny — Prolonged political gridlock undermines confidence in U.S. fiscal reliability, raising bond yields and widening sovereign risk spreads across emerging markets.

  ● Data Delays and Policy Blindspots — Economic reports such as jobs data, retail spending, and manufacturing indices face delays, leaving central banks and investors operating in the dark.

Why This Matters

The U.S. shutdown highlights how fragile the world’s most watched economy has become. While shutdowns are historically short-lived, this one unfolds amid rising debt, inflation persistence, and political brinkmanship — all undermining confidence in the U.S. dollar’s stewardship role.

If Washington cannot stabilize its fiscal governance, other powers — from BRICS to the EU — may accelerate parallel systems less dependent on the dollar.

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

Geopolitical Shifts Reshape the Global Order: New Alliances, New Systems

From defense compacts to digital finance, nations are redrawing the architecture of global power.

China’s Institutional Challenge to the West

  ● In a major UN address, China unveiled its Global Governance Initiative, directly criticizing U.S. unilateralism and calling for a more “balanced multipolar order.” 
  ● Beijing is now forming AI alliances and unified tech standards, aiming to cut reliance on U.S. technology and strengthen domestic sovereignty. 
  ● This represents institutional competition at scale — not just economic rivalry but a bid to control the frameworks that define trade, technology, and governance.

“Whoever writes the rules of digital infrastructure, writes the future of global finance.”

The Expanding Frontier: Space as the New Strategic Arena

  ● The U.S. and France have expanded joint satellite and surveillance programs to counter China’s growing orbital presence.
  ● These partnerships mark a shift from competition on Earth to rivalry over data, communications, and orbital security — areas critical to digital banking and global transaction networks.
  ● Control of space infrastructure increasingly equates to control of real-time global information flow, directly linking defense dominance with financial and technological supremacy.

Trade Realignment: The Fragmentation of Global Supply Chains

  ● Facing escalating U.S. tariffs and trade disruptions, Europe and Asia are building alternative alliances to safeguard energy and industrial stability. 
  ● This shift signals a clear trend: regional self-sufficiency is replacing global interdependence.
  ● Countries are hedging against U.S. policy volatility and exploring non-dollar trade corridors, aligning directly with BRICS strategies of localized payment systems and commodity-backed trade.

Defense & Security: New Blocs on the Rise

  ● Pakistan and Saudi Arabia’s Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement formalized joint military cooperation, marking a major pivot toward Middle Eastern defense autonomy. 
  ● Similarly, Albania, Croatia, and Kosovo signed a defense pact, deepening Balkan coordination in response to NATO realignments. 
  ● At the 2025 Hague Summit, NATO members pledged to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, fundamentally reshaping budget priorities and geopolitical leverage.

Academic Models Confirm: Politics Now Drives Economics

  ● A recent Arxiv study found a strong correlation between geopolitical alignment and trade volume — meaning politics now determines economic flow. 
  ● Another report shows countries are building alternative financial ecosystems — bypassing SWIFT and testing regionally governed digital payment networks. 
  ● Together, these findings confirm a structural decoupling of the global economy — where financial integration follows political allegiance.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

The evidence is unmistakable:
We are witnessing the realignment of power across every axis — trade, defense, technology, and finance.

  ● Old institutions are fracturing under political and economic strain.
  ● New blocs and systems — from BRICS Pay to regional defense pacts — are emerging to fill the void.
  ● This is not fragmentation by accident, but restructuring by design — an intentional reordering of who governs global rules and resources.

As nations pivot toward sovereignty and multipolar stability, one truth echoes across every capital:
Out with the Old, In with the New.

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

“Tidbits From TNT” Sunday Morning 10-5-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Parliament postpones the 2025 budget law until after the elections.

Parliamentary Services Committee member Baqir al-Saadi confirmed on Saturday that one of the most important laws yet to be passed is the 2025 budget schedules law. He explained that this law is on hold until after the elections because the government has not sent it to the House of Representatives.

Al-Saadi told Al Furat News Agency, "The House of Representatives is expected to hold a single session this week to approve a set of laws, after which the electoral race will begin."  link

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

Tishwash:  The Iraqi parliament will not be in session until the elections. What are the reasons?

An Iraqi parliamentarian revealed the existence of a political will aimed at continuing to disrupt parliamentary sessions until the next parliamentary elections. Meanwhile, a researcher pointed to political calculations obstructing legislative work.

 MP Yasser Al-Husseini said in an interview with the "Al-Jabal" platform on Saturday, October 4, 2025, that "the inability of the House of Representatives to hold its sessions during the current period is due to the lack of political will and the intention to keep Parliament paralyzed until it is dissolved as the election date approaches."

 The MP stated that "the deliberate disruption of sessions is not due to technical or procedural reasons, but rather to hidden political agreements that seek to keep the parliament paralyzed, depriving citizens of the parliament's oversight and legislative role at a time when important decisions are required."

He added that "there are political forces that see the continued disruption of parliament as an opportunity to pass the time until the next elections, with the aim of avoiding the constitutional and oversight obligations imposed by this stage. This behavior contradicts the principles of democracy and undermines the public's confidence in elected institutions."

 The Iraqi parliament was scheduled to hold a parliamentary session last Wednesday to discuss and vote on 11 draft laws and proposals. However, the lack of a quorum prevented the session from convening for the third time in as many days.

 "Political calculations"

 For his part, political affairs researcher Riyadh Al-Wahili agreed with the parliamentarian's position, saying in a separate interview with Al-Jabal that "Parliament is facing a clear paralysis in holding its sessions, not as a result of technical or procedural circumstances, but rather due to the political will and premeditated intent of some influential forces.

There is a clear tendency to disrupt parliamentary work and leave Parliament in a state of stagnation until it is officially dissolved as the electoral deadline approaches."

 Al-Wahili explained that "this obstruction reflects narrow political calculations aimed at exploiting the legislative vacuum for electoral gains, rather than adhering to Parliament's constitutional role of oversight and legislation."

 According to him, "the continuation of this situation could open the door to further political crises, as the absence of parliamentary sessions means the absence of crucial decisions that affect people's daily lives, in addition to the suspension of necessary legislation to keep pace with the current situation."

 The political affairs researcher concluded his remarks by noting that "if political will remains bound by electoral calculations, Parliament will lose its justification for existence and will remain mired in obstruction until the next elections finally decide its fate.  link

Tishwash:  Iraq's gold reserves surge to 163 tons: PM advisor

Iraq’s gold reserves have increased by about 10 tons, but its foreign currency reserves are down, an advisor to the prime minister told Rudaw on Saturday.

Iraq's gold reserves have "increased significantly from 152.6 tons" last October to "163 tons" today, said Mazhar Mohammed Salih, an economic advisor to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani.

Iraq holds the 29th largest gold reserves globally and the fourth largest in the Arab world, according to the World Gold Council.

"Having these reserves indicates Iraq's strong financial and economic stability," Salih said, adding that Baghdad's abundant reserves "could lead to encouraging foreign investment and securing a lasting economic infrastructure for our country."

Foreign currency reserves, however, stood at "around $100 billion, down by eight billion dollars compared with October last year," he said.

Iraq's foreign currency reserves consist of the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen, Chinese yuan, and the British pound.

Iraq's economy has shown signs of stabilization in 2025, with inflation dropping by 21 percent and gold reserves seeing a significant increase, according to a July report from the Central Bank of Iraq. The country is, however, grappling with a persistent budget deficit.  link

Tishwash:  Iran removes four zeros from its currency

Iran's Islamic Consultative Assembly voted on Sunday to remove four zeros from the currency, through a bill amending the Monetary and Banking Law.

The bill stipulates converting every 10,000 current Iranian rials into one new rial, while retaining the name "rial" as the country's official currency.

The move aims to simplify financial transactions and mitigate the effects of the severe inflation that Iran has been suffering from for years.

It is noteworthy that the law removing zeros also requires the approval of the Guardian Council before it comes into effect.

This move comes after years of inflation and the deterioration of the rial's value against foreign currencies due to economic sanctions, with the US dollar now worth more than 900,000 rials on the parallel market.  link

Jon Dowling Weekly RV Updates 3rd Oct 2025 Latest Updates

Jon Dowling Weekly RV Updates 3rd Oct 2025 Latest Updates

Chris Real World and Jon Dowling:  10-3-2025

October signals the entry into the final quarter of 2025—a period historically reserved for year-end maneuvering.

 However, the latest comprehensive Weekly RV Report for the week of October 3rd suggests that this Q4 is shaping up to be far more than just a typical fiscal close.

We are witnessing a monumental convergence of financial system overhauls, bold geopolitical power shifts, and the long-anticipated technological unveiling that together signal a complete restructuring of the global economic landscape.

From Baghdad’s banking halls to the evolving standards of international digital payments, here is a breakdown of the critical updates defining this pivotal moment.

The Middle East remains a nexus of financial and political change, highlighted by two extraordinary developments:

After years of fluctuating stability and regulatory uncertainties, the Weekly RV Report underscores that Iraq is actively completing significant banking reforms. 

These decisive actions signal the country’s profound readiness to re-engage fully with the international financial community. This move is viewed by many analysts as a concrete step toward economic sovereignty, despite previous contradictory signals that have clouded market expectations.

Crucially, United States support for Iraq’s constitutional reforms accompanies this financial maturation. This backing is not merely political; it is an affirmation of emerging stability and adherence to sound economic policy, paving the way for Iraq to play a much larger role in regional and global trade.

Adding an element of intrigue, the report notes unusual banking activity in Saudi Arabia. Speculation is rife regarding the nature of this activity—is it a sophisticated cyberattack testing the resilience of the Kingdom’s financial infrastructure, or a strategic, preparatory maneuver tied to deeper, perhaps undisclosed, economic and political transitions?

Either interpretation points to major volatility brewing within the core energy-producing nations.

The engine of global finance is undergoing a complete replacement, marking perhaps the most significant structural change since the Bretton Woods agreement.

The gradual, yet persistent, abandonment of the traditional SWIFT payment system is being accelerated by the transition to a modernized, digital asset-backed framework—commonly referred to as the Quantum Financial System (QFS) and governed by the ISO 20022 standard.

This adoption of distributed ledger technology and digital assets is not just about faster payments; it’s about transparency, security, and establishing a new paradigm for cross-border value transfer, paving the way for asset-backed currencies worldwide.

For Americans, this financial transition carries massive domestic implications. The report anticipates sweeping reforms aimed at restoring the nation’s economic prosperity to levels reminiscent of the Constitutional Republic prior to 1913.

Key among the projected changes is the potential removal of both income taxes and excise taxes. This revolutionary tax structure, utilizing consumption or tariff-based revenue models, aims to reduce government bloat and stimulate domestic production, fundamentally altering the relationship between citizen and state.

The report further details tectonic shifts across technology, monetary policy, and international defense.

The indicators of systemic financial restructuring are stark. The U.S. debt clock continues to tick down, acting as a visual testament to the ongoing restructuring efforts. This coincides with the reported gradual phasing out of the Federal Reserve, signaling the end of the current central banking model and reinforcing the move toward a fully asset-backed sovereign currency system.

The confluence of these factors—sovereign financial readiness, digital asset adoption, massive structural tax reform, and a volatile geopolitical landscape—demands immediate attention.

As the world enters its final quarter of 2025, the convergence of these events suggests that the next few months will bring historic economic and political shifts that will fundamentally redefine the 21st century.

For an in-depth analysis and further insights on these rapidly developing global events, we strongly recommend watching the full video report from economic analyst Jon Dowling.

11 Overlooked Risks That Could Ruin Your Financial Stability

11 Overlooked Risks That Could Ruin Your Financial Stability

By Claire Conway  Jun-12-2024

Financial pitfalls can throw a monkey wrench into even the most responsible person, which is why everyone should be aware of hidden threats that can derail your financial security. People reveal what unexpected life changes can turn your life upside down. Have you experienced any of these hidden financial threats?

1. All Homeowner-related Expenses

Where do I begin? Owning a home comes with endless potential repairs, from heat and water pumps to air conditioning, flooring, and roof repairs (and everything in between). Although owning a home is a significant life milestone, even the most frugal homeowner confesses that the expenses quickly pile up and easily turn a secure financial situation upside-down.

2. Missing a Credit Card Payment

In school, you learn about world history, calculus, and home economics, but you aren’t taught one of the most important life lessons: Paying your credit card payments on time. One of the most severe financial penalties you can face is failing to make the minimum monthly payment on your debt, causing interest rates to spike and your credit score to plummet. For many Americans, missing a credit card payment is catastrophic.

3. Car Loans

If you’re ever applying for an auto loan, always focus on the out-the-door cost of the vehicle you want to buy. The dealership will always push you toward lowering your monthly payment, even if there are better ways to navigate the loan. The longer your loan is, the more you’ll pay in the long run for your vehicle. Don’t fall for the “lower monthly payment” trick because it will cost you far more money in the end.

4. Losing Your Job

Nobody plans on ever losing their job, but sometimes, the unexpected happens. Getting laid off greatly affects your income, but nobody ever plans for it. After all, we misguidedly believe it will never happen to us. But trust me, your life can change in the blink of an eye when your “steady income” is suddenly ripped away! Obviously, an emergency fund is handy in times of unemployment, but that’s another aspect of financial wellness that many people underestimate.

5. Your Spouse’s Pension Ending

Unfortunately for married people, when one person passes away, their financial benefits cease to exist as well. One woman specializing in finding work for older Americans knows how hard it can be. “I’ve seen firsthand too often when the husband dies, the pension stopped,” one woman attests. “It sucked helping older women find jobs, especially when they had no experience in any job. We had to provide training in soft skills, too, like showing up at an exact time.”

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Dollar Devaluation Advances With New Payment Systems

As BRICS nations build their own financial rails and lean on gold, the dollar’s grip is under direct challenge.

Payment Infrastructure: Building Alternatives to SWIFT

  ● At the Rio summit, BRICS leaders discussed a guarantee fund to undergird BRICS Pay, intended for local currency settlement without resort to Western banking networks. 
  ● The bloc is shifting focus from grand unified currency schemes to interoperable payment systems and national rails, per analysts at GIS Reports. 
  ● BRICS Pay is a decentralized messaging mechanism where member nations route payments via local currency systems
  ● While technical and regulatory gaps remain, prototypes and pilot links (e.g. between SPFS, CIPS, UPI, Pix) are being tested to bypass SWIFT. 

Gold & Local Currency Strategy: Anchors for De-Dollarization

  ● BRICS nations now hold over 6,000 tons of gold — about 20-21% of global central bank reserves. Russia and China together control nearly three-quarters of that total.
  ● This accumulation acts as a hedge and backing for alternative currency initiatives and reduces exposure to dollar volatility. 
  ● Trade among BRICS states increasingly uses settlement in national currencies, reducing the need for dollar liquidity and hedging. 

Competing Views, Internal Tensions & Rebalancing

  ● Some analysts argue BRICS is pulling back from aggressive de-dollarization, focusing instead on gradual shifts in trade settlement. 
  ● Indian officials maintain that while BRICS jointly explores alternatives, they have no intention to undermine the U.S. dollar outright. 
  ● Political pressure from the U.S. — including threats of tariffs — adds complexity. Russia has responded by distinguishing between a settlement system and a new currency, signaling continued work despite external pressure. 
  ● Diverse economic structures, regulatory standards, currency convertibility, and trust among states pose serious technical and institutional hurdles to full integration.

The Shift: Out With the Old, In With the New

• Traditional dollar-based networks and financial dominance are being contested

• BRICS is investing in alternative rails, backed by tangible assets and local currency trade

• Power over payment systems, reserve strategies, and settlement becomes a core battlefield

In effect, we are witnessing a structural reconfiguration of global finance, where decentralized, sovereign-controlled systems are replacing old hierarchies.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

BRICS’ push for dollar-free payment systems and gold-backed safeguards is not just incremental — it’s rearchitecting how trade, credit, and capital move globally. As dollar dependency weakens, new centers of financial gravity emerge.

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

Frank26   Something is going on.  We see the words I have been sharing with you for years in print now.  It's exciting...The monetary reform of the Iraqi dinar doesn't have much more time...They told the citizens they're about to give them the new exchange rate.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY: Sammy said Alaq said the monetary reform has ended.  It has achieved all its goals.  We are now implementing it according to the time frame set.  

Walkingstick   [Iraq bank friend Aki update] WALKINGSTICK:  Do you have a time period when you're going to be closing up for about 3 days.  AKI: Yes.  That's not a secret.  The US Treasury is constantly in and out of our country.  Many time we are following all their instructions.  They told me I had to stay here in my private bank [in Dearborn] because the US Treasury wanted it that way. WS: Why do you think they asked you to stay there?   AKI: Because we are at the end of the time line...I told you we have had a date for a long time.  That date is coming to an end.  On that date they will introduce a new exchange rate.

 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani directed, today, Friday (October 3, 2025), to continue the celebrations of the Iraqi National Day for a week.

Cutebwoy: : Iraq celebrates National Day with parades, marathon, and cultural events

2025-10-03 02:55   Shafaq News – Baghdad

Iraqis are celebrating their National Day on Friday, October 3, marking 93 years since the country gained independence from the British mandate and became the first Arab state to join the League of Nations in 1932.

The date, chosen as Iraq’s official holiday in 2020, recalls the League’s approval of Iraq’s membership, which recognized the new state as sovereign and capable of governing its own affairs.

Prime Minister Nuri al-Said submitted the request that year, ushering Iraq out of mandate rule and into the international community.

While some Iraqis have proposed other milestones—such as the 1958 founding of the republic, the 2003 fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime, or the 2014 call to arms against ISIS—October 3 has become the most widely accepted symbol of independence and international recognition.

This year, celebrations stretch across the country and beyond. In Baghdad, the Ministry of Defense prepared an aerial parade by the Air Force and Army Aviation, alongside a 21-gun salute at dawn. Military officials said the events reflect pride in sovereignty and unity, encouraging citizens to share in the festivities.

The capital also hosted a National Day marathon under the slogan “One Flag, One Homeland,” with free participation open to the public. Athletes from seven provinces joined the race, which carried a total prize fund of 15 million dinars. Organizers provided uniforms, participant numbers, and facilities to accommodate runners, turning the event into a festival of sport and community.

Beyond official ceremonies, ministries, provinces, and Iraqi embassies abroad are holding cultural and social events.

In a message marking the occasion, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani extended his “sincere congratulations and heartfelt blessings” to all Iraqis, describing October 3 as the day that embodied the modern Iraqi state and its historic, civilizational, and cultural presence. He emphasized his government’s commitment to safeguarding the constitution, protecting resources, strengthening the economy, and securing Iraq’s rightful place regionally and internationally.

Tishwash:  Iraq: A Promising Economic Destination for Arab and Foreign Investment

 Iraq is currently witnessing a qualitative shift in its economic development, making it an attractive environment for investors from around the world.

Participants in investment forums emphasized that Iraq has become a preferred destination for companies and businessmen, given its significant economic and tourism potential, coupled with government efforts to create a favorable investment climate.

This comes at a time when trade with neighboring countries has reached record levels, amid a growing willingness by international companies to enter the Iraqi market and contribute to development projects.

In this context, Chairman of the Turkish-Iraqi Business Council, Khaled Akar, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), "The volume of trade exchange between Iraq and Turkey has reached $16 billion, and we are seeking to increase it to $30 billion." He indicated that "Iraq's accession to the World Trade Organization will contribute to developing the volume of trade domestically and internationally, and will enable Turkish companies to contribute to the growth and development of Iraqi trade."

He added, "Turkish businessmen are ready to contribute to supporting development in the construction, health, digitalization, and other sectors," noting that "40 Turkish businessmen participated in the Iraq Investment Forum." 

For his part, Faisal Al-Jarba, a member of the Iraqi-Saudi Business Council, told (INA), "The investment forum held in Baghdad was important and successful, as we witnessed clear satisfaction among Arab investors, as well as investors coming from East Asia and several other countries."

He added that "a large number of influential businessmen in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia participated in this forum, which means that Iraq has become an important destination and a clear choice for investors." He noted that "the Iraqi government is serious about its work to combat corruption and confront anyone who attempts to seize state property or exploit its authority, and this bodes well."

He expressed his "hope that the Iraqi economy and Iraqi businessmen will receive the status they deserve, and that they will play a fundamental and effective role in building their country, in cooperation with other countries and investors from around the world."

In turn, Nasser Al-Noubis, Chairman of the Rotana International Group, confirmed to (INA), "Iraq is a promising country with great potential in the tourism sector. Today, it needs more than thirty thousand hotel rooms, while the available rooms are still insufficient."

He explained that "the more infrastructure develops, whether through the construction of hotels or facilitating investment and entry procedures into the country, the more opportunities will be to attract investors and encourage tourists to come to Iraq."

He pointed out that "Iraq is a great and civilized country, with diverse tourist attractions, especially the religious sites in Karbala, Najaf, and Kadhimiya, which attract visitors from all over the world."

He continued, "We began investing in Iraq more than 12 years ago, opening in Erbil, then Sulaymaniyah. Today, we are present in Baghdad and have also begun operations in Karbala. We look forward to expanding across all governorates, given the broad prospects for growth in Iraq's tourism sector."   link
