You Can Bank On It: by Dr. Dinar

You Can Bank On It by Dr. Dinar

10-7-2025

In the beginning, when the most talked about RV rumors circled around the prices being changed in all the stores in Iraq. When rumors were running rampant of Contractors in the Green Zone(wherever the heck that was) now being paid at the "new rate".

When the infamous "boots on the ground" sources were able to pay for their new shoelaces at the new rate, the one thing that still hit closest to home were the bank stories.

It wasn't the printing in the Gazette, the new budget being announced(that mysteriously kept getting postponed), Article 140 being implemented, the HCL, the Kurd's getting reimbursed, the announcements in the Mosques, not even the sandal toss games. None of that got the juices flowing like the tried and untrue Bank Stories.

While all those other sandbox suspicions were fine and dandy, it was the bank stories that, for me anyway, and most likely many others, were the most relatable. Not that I necessarily believed them but at least I could picture them taking place in my mind's eye. After all, in those days online banking wasn't what it is today. 

Back then there were numerous bank branches open all over the place. Seemed as if there was a different branch on every corner. You couldn't drive two blocks without seeing a bank or a credit union ready to hold your money for them... I mean you.

Recently I found myself reflecting back on all the bank stories I've read throughout the years. Some of them being so realistic you almost felt as if you were right there along with them. Gnawin' on a hotdog while waiting impatiently for the doors to open promptly at 9am.

Not only from the customer's side of the counter but we were also hearing from the Tellers side as well. And supposedly some "in the know" Managers just to give it that extra jolt of believability. 

On ledger, off ledger. front screen, back screen, green screen, black screen, screen door. You screen, I screen, we all screen for ice cream. Oops, sorry. Got a bit carried away there.

Be it cubicle, kiosk, random room of any sort, it was easy to picture yourself right along with that person sharing their experience. Lots of talk of new signage materializing overnight. 

Same with the new RV exchange "instarooms" being built by the bunches. Yep, all the signs were right there, impossible to ignore. We were right on the cusp of the biggest wealth transfer to hit since the California Gold Rush of the 1880's.

Nervous? You betcha. After all, we were about to make history. Us Toothless Crackheads, as they use to refer to us, were about to enter the big leagues. We were going to finally get a chance to show all those naysayers just how wrong they were. 

Ready? You're darn right we were ready. And then some. With our trusty, albeit a bit dusty, "To Go" bags sitting diligently right by the front door just like we were instructed to do oh so long ago. 

Matter of fact they've been there so long I'm sure most, if not all, of us couldn't recall all of what was actually in them but we were ready nonetheless.

Did you bring all your currency. Was it all neatly in order, right side up, left side down, lowest to highest, all facing the same direction, and so on. Which was odd because in the beginning there was only one currency to deal with. One of any concern. The Iraqi Dinar.

The be all, end all, of every up and coming exchange. Life revolved around that one single currency. And to make matters that much easier, it was always the 25K notes that stood at the top of the stack. 

Better yet, they all had what appeared to be the exact same serial numbers. How much easier could it get.

Sure, there were other "versions" of the dinar but we were only concerned with the one version. That's it. And beware of those notes with that no good evil do'er Saddam's face on them. They had been rendered worthless since the new and improved, sixty three built-in safety features had been released in 2003.

At a printing cost of $0.06 per note they made our USD look like Monopoly money. Heck, that actually sounds like an insult to Monopoly money. My apologies. 

Yeah, some of us did hold a few of the other variations but mostly because they were gifted to us as "Thank You's" for previously purchasing the Big Dog 25K's. Oh wait, there was one other item of concern. Circulated or uncirculated.

That debate went on for years. What was the difference. Was there even a difference. In reality there was one main difference. Odd as it sounds, it was the smell. Yep, that undeniable aroma. 

Same exchangeable value but one didn't really smell like anything in particular whereas the "used" version smelled like it had been everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE! And not in a good way.

It was difficult to explain. Not like anything I'd ever smelled before but man oh man, there was no hiding from it. Wrap it up in ten freezer bags, the funk still got out. 

I only know this because I made the mistake of taking the cheap route (as there was a hefty price difference between the two at the time) a couple of times and lived to smell... I mean tell about it.

From then on, whenever I was fortunate enough to find the funds, it was all uncirculated or nothing at all. The small price savings wasn't worth living with the circulated funkification. That's one stinky sock drawer I wanted nothing to do with.

Not to mention running those notes through the De la Rue machines, the smell wafting wildly windward would be more than amplified at the speed those things run the currency through.

Speaking of the De la Rue machines, there was also lots of talk running around about those at the time as well. Supposedly every bank branch was going to have at least one machine available for the RV exchanges but at a cost of $30K each, that one was a bit difficult to swallow. 

But heck, with the rumored multi million billions that would be flyin' around all willy nilly 'n such, what's an extra $30K between friends.

And yes, friends of the banks we would be. Finally. At that stage of the process we will have officially been morphed from penniless peasants to high net worth individuals, our status skyrocketing at the same time. So called "Intelligent Investors" as it were.

Wealth Managers, Financial Advisors, Private Bankers, Family Office officers, you name it. All of them at our beck and call. Clamoring for our attention, screaming "Pick me, pick me" as the De La Rue machines whirred away at lightning speed.

Who would we choose. More importantly how would we choose them. Would it be based simply on us having introduced ourselves pre-RV or would that even be necessary. 

Rumors were rampantly swirling at the time of those folks that attempted to make contact with a representative of the bank only to basically be laughed right out of the bank. Door locked swiftly behind 'em.

Sure, there were a couple of wink wink, nod nod's rumored to have taken place as well but for the most part it was complete denial on the bank's part. While many of us had made some of our earliest currency purchases at the bank, growing tired of the constant "I'm calling about the upcoming RV happening this Friday" jibber jabber, they took it upon themselves to flip the script.

Not only did they stop selling the currency but they took it even a few steps further, changing their voicemail messages to reflect the RV itself being a total scam as well as their non-participation in anything having to do with the RV on any level. Even crazier yet they began telling their employees they weren't allowed to purchase nor own any IQD.

That's about the time the latest and greatest rumors began to float around. Those surrounding the hints of just how unhappy the Tellers and other bank employees were going to be once us exchangers showed up to exchange our currency post RV and them having been told it was all a scam and nothing they need be interested in nor concerned with.

They would be working for us, not with us, and having to do it with a smile. Who could blame them for being upset about missing out on a once in a lifetime opportunity simply because the boss says so. Thankfully word began to spread of those taking the risk and getting involved anyway. And good for them.

As we morphed into the whole GCR thing the bank stories were fewer and further between. Was that due in large part to the rise in bank branch closures combined with the whole online banking takeover? 

Not exactly sure but no doubt they began to show up less and less. To the point where they no longer happened. Or at least weren't boasted about, even if they did continue to happen on occasion.

Perhaps those experiencing them felt less and less secure in sharing their perceived close calls. Becoming non-believers themselves in the process. Whatever it was, someone turned off the spigot and they just dried up.

It's a shame as I'm sure many folks enjoyed hearing them. Nowadays it seems to be all about the gold. Gold this, gold that. Gold is skyrocketing, reaching levels never seen before.

Which is all fine and good but likely for a majority of folks they are unable to see the correlation between gold and the RV/GCR. Whereas a relatable banking story with their good buddy Brad down at their local branch made them feel as if they weren't alone on this journey. That someone else, someone supposedly much better "connected", was actually experiencing some behind the scenes stuff.

For me it's another part of the far too long list of things that have changed over the years. But I can't deny I do miss a good ol' wink wink, nod nod story every now and again, just to keep the close call vibes alive.

Hang in there folks, this here GCR is eventually going to happen. It has to happen. The global economy is depending on it. It's only a matter of time. 

By the way, am I the only one or have you noticed the big time golden makeover inside the Oval Office? Do you think that happened by happenstance. I don't think so. Wink wink, nod nod.

Kindly,

Dr. Dinar

I'm simply someone that chooses to believe in the power of positive thinking and on the odd chance this thing truly is real, I want to make sure I'm there at the finish line to enjoy it.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Unveils Plan to Replace the U.S. Dollar — While India Runs a Bold Gold Auction

Two concurrent moves from the bloc suggest an accelerating shift in monetary architecture and reserve strategy.

BRICS’ Bold Dollar Challenge

  ● Precious Metals Exchange Launch: At the 2025 Moscow Financial Forum, BRICS announced plans for a trading platform allowing countries to settle in gold, platinum, diamonds, and rare earths — sidestepping SWIFT and traditional commodity exchanges. 
  ● Resource Leverage: BRICS controls ~72% of rare earth reserves, anchoring their plan not on fiat alone, but on tangible assets. 
  ● Trade Bypass: As of now, ~68% of BRICS trade is alleged to bypass the dollar, and 90% of Russia–China trade occurs in local currencies. 
  ● Not a New Currency (Yet): Rather than founding a fresh fiat, BRICS seems to be constructing alternative rails and asset-backed exchanges to challenge dollar dominance. 

The strategy is not about sudden overthrow — it’s about building parallel systems that gradually erode dollar dependence.

India’s Gold Auction: Strategic Signal in Reserve Strategy

  ● Gold Auction Mechanism: The Central Bank of India holds auctions of pledged gold (from defaulted loans) through online platforms, recovering owed amounts. 
  ● Reserve Accumulation: The RBI added about 72.6 tons of gold in 2024, pushing India’s holdings toward 876 tons. 
  ● Dual Strategy: This auctioning (liquidation) coexists with aggressive accumulation — reflecting a dual posture of discipline and expansion in gold reserves. 
  ● Part of the Bloc Trend: India’s actions mirror a broader acceleration of gold acquisition by central banks within BRICS and beyond. 

India’s move is more than internal reserve management — it signals alignment with BRICS’ structural shift in monetary strategy.

How This Fits Into the Global Restructuring

• From Fiat to Asset Anchors: The shift from purely fiat systems toward gold- or resource-backed exchanges signals a redefinition of what constitutes money.

• Parallel Rails Over Revolution: Rather than overthrowing the dollar outright, BRICS is building alternatives (payment systems, commodity-based settlement, resource exchanges).

• Sovereignty Over Dependence: Nations using these new rails gain independence from U.S. sanctions, dollar volatility, and centralized financial control.

• Multipolar Monetary Architecture: These initiatives fragment the once-monolithic dollar regime, enabling a world where multiple reserve systems co-exist.

As these systems scale, capital, credit, and trade flows will gravitate toward those offering reliability, autonomy, and immunity from centralized leverage.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

BRICS’ unveiling of a precious minerals settlement exchange, paired with India’s assertive gold auction and reserve build, is not mere symbolism — it’s the architecture of a new financial order being erected.

These parallel rails and asset-anchored structures are extracting power from legacy systems and redistributing it across sovereign partners.

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

$4,000 Gold: Is It Time To Sell?

$4,000 Gold: Is It Time To Sell?

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  October 7, 2025

You’d think Charles de Gaulle would have been a little bit more grateful to America.

 As head of the Free French Forces during World War II, de Gaulle was essentially a leader in exile, and he had to base himself in England for the majority of the war after the Nazis took Paris.

 It was only because of the sacrifices made by American troops-- and exceptional generosity from US general Dwight Eisenhower-- that de Gaulle was allowed to enter Paris on August 25, 1944.

America had already done all the fighting. But de Gaulle marched through the streets in triumph as if he had personally won the war.

 The US government then went on to cement his power, so de Gaulle became head of France’s post-war provisional government, then later French president. France also received billions in aid from the Marshall Plan, courtesy of US taxpayers.

 The guy pretty much owed his entire political career, not to mention the liberation and economic solvency of his country, to the United States.

But de Gaulle’s ego was far greater than his sense of gratitude; in fact in his own memoirs he compared himself to Joanne of Arc. He even whined that he didn’t receive enough US support.

 The ultimate disrespect came on February 4, 1965. De Gaulle called a press conference to criticize America’s “exorbitant privilege” in global finance, concluding that the world needed to return to a classical gold standard.

 Ever since July of 1944, the world had been on the “Bretton Woods” system. Every currency was pegged to the US dollar, and the US dollar was pegged to gold at a price of $35 per ounce.

Having the global reserve currency meant that America could finance its government deficits by simply printing more money. This is still the case today. De Gaulle was jealous of this benefit, so he tried wrecking the financial system.

In addition to demanding a return to the classical gold standard, de Gaulle also insisted that the US government redeem France’s dollar reserves for gold.

 The idea caught on. Governments around the world, along with financial speculators and investors, started paying attention… and many began trading their dollars for gold as well.

 This trend picked up steam over the next several years until, finally, in 1971, Richard Nixon shut it down… announcing that the United States would no longer redeem US dollars for gold.

 The gold price naturally started to rise. Within a few months, gold was already above $40, up 13.5%. It reached $60 in 1972 (up 42%), nearly $100 in 1973 (up 66%), and $180 in 1974 (up 80%).

 It’s not hard to understand why. Inflation was soaring. The world was a geopolitical hot mess. Then there was the Nixon political scandal at home. Uncertainty abounded, and gold was the remedy.

 But then something interesting happened: Congress passed a law finally allowing private ownership of gold.

It seems crazy today, but ever since 1933, it had actually been illegal for Americans to own gold. Congress reversed this in 1974.

 So just imagine you’re an average American in the 1970s watching gold rise more than 5x, from $35 to $180… but you can’t do anything about it because it’s illegal to buy. Then suddenly the law changes. Almost overnight, US investors started aggressively investing in gold.

Back then, of course, people didn’t have brokerage accounts, let alone access to futures exchanges. And there were no ETFs.

 So instead people bought physical gold coins-- Krugerrands, Eagles, etc. And there was booming demand for a while.

 But right around this time, large investors, hedge funds, etc. started feeling like gold was overbought… and that the price had risen too far, too fast. So they started selling. In fact many funds were selling as small retail investors were buying.

 And as you can imagine, the gold price soon started to fall; in fact the correction lasted roughly 18 months. Gold eventually hit a low of ~$100 in August 1976-- a drop of more than 40% from its record high in 1975.

 Yet even though speculators were selling, the fundamentals of gold had not changed.

 Specifically, foreign governments and central banks were still seeking to diversify from their US dollar holdings. And more importantly, the US government financial condition was still atrocious.

 So after an 18-month hiatus, the gold price started rising again in August 1976… from ~$100 to $800+ in December 1979.

So even though gold had reached a record high in 1974, people who understood the long-term fundamentals, i.e. why the gold price was going higher, saw an additional 4x return. People that were smart enough to buy more when the price fell did even better-- 8x in less than four years.

 And people who sold their gold in 1975 missed the rise from $185 to $850.

 Gold just hit $4,000 today. It’s up more than 50% in a year, and up 100% in two years. So is it time to sell?

In our view, this is like 1975 again. Gold may be overbought now; after all, nothing is supposed to go up (or down) in a straight line.

We’re also seeing interesting data from ETFs. The “GLD”, for example, the world’s largest gold ETF, is seeing record inflows, including more than $2 billion in a single day last month.

 This is a sign that, just like 1975, individual investors are piling in to gold after sitting on the sidelines for the past few years.

 Strong, sudden retail demand is often a top signal, at least temporarily. And it’s possible that there could be a short-term correction.

But even if that happens, it doesn’t change the fundamental story of gold. Just like the 1970s, foreign governments and central banks today are aggressively diversifying their US dollar holdings, and gold is the most convenient asset for them to buy.

We don’t believe this has changed at all. Foreign governments and central banks might pull back on their purchases temporarily to see what happens in the market. But long-term they are still strong buyers of gold thanks to the US government’s terrible fiscal trajectory.

 And despite any short-term corrections, this is what will ultimately drive gold prices higher over the next several years.

Dr. Scott Young: The US 1861-1865 Banking Crisis

Dr. Scott Young: The US 1861-1865 Banking Crisis

10-7-2025

We often think we know American history, especially pivotal moments like the Civil War. But what if there’s a crucial, often overlooked, layer to the story – one woven deeply into the very fabric of our financial system?

Dr. Scott Young is here to peel back those layers in his new four-part series, introducing us to a fascinating and complex era he aptly terms “pre-fed banking.”

This isn’t just about dusty ledgers; it’s about understanding the financial and political dynamics that shaped a nation. Dr. Young’s inaugural episode dives headfirst into the period from the Civil War era through 1913, asserting that to truly grasp the monumental conflict, we must examine more than just the moral imperative against slavery.

While the moral abomination of slavery was undeniably a central conflict, Dr. Young encourages us to look deeper, to the intricate web of economic and banking interests that fueled the divide.

He highlights how banking crises, fragmented currency systems, and the very nature of collateral created a precarious financial landscape, particularly in the South.

Imagine a financial system where a significant portion of your capital, and thus your ability to secure loans, is tied to human beings. In the South, this was the stark reality.

Plantations and enslaved people served as primary collateral, creating a fragile and ethically bankrupt economic backbone. This contrasted sharply with the North’s burgeoning industrial and banking strength, a system built on diversified assets and commercial enterprises.

This fundamental economic divergence, Dr. Young argues, played a far greater role in escalating tensions than commonly acknowledged.

These actions weren’t just wartime necessities; they were foundational shifts that led to long-term consequences for American financial sovereignty and the power of the federal government.

Perhaps one of the most profound, yet subtle, shifts Dr. Young highlights is the metamorphosis of the American identity itself. Before the Civil War, it was common to hear “the United States are,” implying a coalition of independent states. Post-war, it emphatically became “the United States is,” reflecting a fundamental transformation from a confederation of states to a singular, national entity with a strong central government – a shift solidified by the very banking and financial structures put in place.

Dr. Scott Young’s initial installment is a powerful reminder that history is rarely as simple as it seems. By coining the term “pre-fed banking,” he invites us to explore a crucial chapter in American economic history, one that profoundly influenced the Civil War and set the stage for the federal banking developments and complex corporate formations to come.

This is just the beginning of a fascinating four-part series that promises to unpack the long-term consequences and the evolution of American financial sovereignty right up to the establishment of the Federal Reserve.

Militia Man   When they do adjustments to currencies, Central Banks and the powers that be are very tight lipped about it and that's why we don't have a specific date and rate.

Militia Man   Article:   "Iranian Parliament approves the deletion of the 4 zeros from the national currency".   It's about the Iranian parliament...This isn't the first time we've heard this.  Quote:  "Converting 10,000 old rials to 1 new rial to simplify transactions amid hyperinflation and sanctions because it's 900,000 rials to the dollar."  900,000. Iraqi dinar is 1310.  This isn't Iraq's path, but it shows regional currency reforms and efforts.  Iraq is a totally different story.  It has completely different circumstances.  Definitely don't compare the two like being one...Iran's move addresses devaluation  without a full revaluation.  Iraq has 8% inflation in the first half of 2025 which is historically low...

Pentagon Iraq Announcement | Forex Market | Eric Trump's Prediction

Edu Matrix:  10-7-2025

In today’s video, we’re diving into two explosive stories — one from Iraq’s shifting military landscape and another from the crypto world that could change everything for investors.

The Pentagon has confirmed it’s scaling back its mission in Iraq, which could open the door for Israel’s next strategic moves against militants backed by Iran. With U.S. troops reducing their presence, the balance of power in the Middle East could shift dramatically.

Meanwhile, in currency and crypto news, global forex trading has surged to a record $9.6 trillion a day, proving the dollar’s dominance — but there’s a twist.

 Eric Trump recently predicted Bitcoin could hit $1 million, and while critics didn’t fully agree… they didn’t disagree either

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Tuesday Morning 10-7-25

Iraqi Securities Commission launches major reforms to boost investment and meet Vision 2030

IRAQ Jawad Al-Samarraie October 6, 2025

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Securities Commission (ISC) announced today, Monday (October 6, 2025), a comprehensive strategy to modernize the country’s capital market, asserting that the reforms are fundamental to achieving Iraq’s Economic Vision 2030. The announcement was made by Chairman Faisal Al-Himais during the “Global Investor Week” conference, marking the ISC’s 21st anniversary.

Al-Himais emphasized that the government, under Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani’s patronage, is committed to creating a transparent environment, positioning the Iraq Stock Exchange (ISX) as a key engine for economic growth. This commitment involves modernizing both the legal and technical foundations of the market.

Yasin Taha Weis, a member of the ISC Council, detailed the legal reforms, confirming that the ISC is working to replace the outdated Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) legislative order of 2004 with a new law that will increase investment guarantees.

This proposed law has already had its second reading in Parliament. Additionally, the ISC is upgrading the infrastructure and work methods of the ISX by collaborating with major international companies that specialize in electronic trading systems.

The commission’s strategy is twofold: to enhance oversight and organization, and to significantly expand the base of listed companies. According to Weis, increasing the number of listed companies and improving their performance is vital, as it directly correlates with greater investor engagement and a rise in the total volume of investment in the market.   https://www.iraqinews.com/iraq/iraqi-securities-commission-vision-2030-reform/

 Kirkuk-Banias Pipeline And Its Strategic Importance
 
Economic 2025/10/07  Dr. Hamid Rahim Janani     Concerns remain about the fate of Iraq's oil export capacity in the event of conflicts in the region. It is illogical for 90 percent of exports to be dependent on the Strait of Hormuz, which is under constant security and military pressures, evident in the escalating statements of the warring states from time to time.

Radical solutions may require specific approaches, projects, and significant effort, and even a relatively long period of time to achieve a high degree of flexibility in export outlets. What is important is to implement short- and medium-term measures to achieve radical strategic solutions in the long term.

The issue of the oil pipeline from Kirkuk Governorate to the Baniyas oil port in Tartous Governorate, northwest of Syria, on the Mediterranean coast, was recently raised. This issue could constitute a pivotal point in Iraq’s export policy.

This pipeline was established in the 1950s with an export capacity of up to (300) barrels per day, with a length of (891) km and a diameter of (30) inches. Pumping in the pipeline stopped during the Iran-Iraq war.

The pipeline was restarted in 2000, but it broke down again. It was exposed to significant damage after 2003 and is still stopped.

The efforts of the governments in Iraq and Syria to revive this pipeline have surfaced, and here comes the role of economic analysis in determining the importance of this step if it is successful, as the rehabilitation costs are estimated at (8) billion dollars, and it is possible to change the export capacity to reach (700) thousand, which is a relatively good thing, and may largely justify the size of the costs necessary for re-operation.

This pipeline also constitutes an important factor in diversifying export outlets and alleviating the state of Focusing on the Strait of Hormuz, and as is clear, transport via pipelines is the least expensive of all means of transport, which enhances the chances of maximizing oil profits if it is possible to export a larger quantity of oil via pipelines instead of sea tankers and land transport.

 It is important to point out a very important issue, which is the possibility of Iraq possessing a card that gives it strength in its negotiations with the Turks regarding the (Ceyhan) pipeline, given that the outlets will be more available to Iraq and will not be limited to the Turkish side only.

The project is large and will represent a qualitative shift that enhances Iraq’s oil status, so the pace must be accelerated and solutions must be found to the outstanding problems, especially the security one.

It is also necessary to involve foreign parties in financing, consulting or investment partnerships to link interests, while studying the possibility of increasing the export capacity to numbers greater than what was mentioned. https://alsabaah.iq/121711-.html

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Tuesday Morning 10-7-25

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

India Launches Foreign Currency Settlement System via GIFT City

By enabling local foreign exchange settlements, India accelerates its shift toward financial sovereignty and reduces reliance on Western clearing networks.

What’s New & Why It Matters

  ● GIFT City System Launch: India has launched a foreign-currency settlement system in its GIFT City financial hub. Transactions in USD (and other currencies) can now be settled locally, avoiding time delays through overseas correspondent banks. 
  ● Standard Chartered Role: Standard Chartered India is supporting U.S. dollar clearances under the new framework.
  ● Strategic Ambition: This move strengthens India’s capacity to control its own financial infrastructure and signals a step toward reducing dependency on legacy global rails.

How It Relates to Global Financial Restructuring

• Decentralizing dominance: India is carving out alternatives to traditional Western-dominated settlement systems.

• Regional gravity shift: As major economies build own rails, capital flows may realign closer to India or South Asia.

• Incremental resilience: With local settlement, India insulates itself from external disruptions in cross-border finance.

Key Takeaway

India’s move is more than infrastructure upgrade — it’s a deliberate pivot toward monetary autonomy in a fracturing financial world.

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

France’s Government Collapse: A Warning Sign for Western Order

When political dysfunction strikes key Western states, it weakens the pillars of the old global financial and governance architecture.

What Happened

  ● Historic Resignation: Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned just hours after unveiling his cabinet, making it the shortest-lived government in modern French history.
  ● Market Turmoil: French stocks tumbled ~1.4–2%, bond yields spiked, and the euro weakened. 
  ● Credit Warning: Rating agencies issued fresh warnings over France’s sovereign credit outlook amid deep political paralysis. 

Underlying Drivers & Systemic Risks

• Fragmented Parliament: France’s legislature is deeply split, making coalition governance nearly impossible.

• High Debt & Deficits: Public debt exceeds 110% of GDP, with deficits far beyond EU thresholds. 

• Political Polarization: Distinct right, left, and centrist blocs prevent consensus.

• Legitimacy Crisis: Repeated government failures erode faith in institutions and accelerate political fatigue.

Global Implications & Connections to Restructuring

• Weakening Western Anchors: When major Western powers falter, their financial and diplomatic influence weakens — creating space for alternative blocs.

• Risk Premiums & Capital Flight: Investors may redirect capital to more stable regimes or emerging powers.

• Dollar & Euro Pressure: Financial turmoil can stress reserve currencies and inspire deeper de-dollarization or parallel systems.

• Institutional Erosion: The failure of governance in key nations accelerates the shift toward multi-pole structures, regional alliances, and financial fragmentation.

Why This Matters

France is not just another European country — it’s a central pillar of EU influence, NATO strategy, and global finance. Its instability sends shockwaves through markets and institutions alike.
If Western systems crumble, the architecture they built becomes vulnerable to replacement.

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

Rafidain Bank Closes Its Branches In Sana'a After Previous US Threats.

Banks  Economy News – Baghdad   Yemeni Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Muammar al-Eryani revealed on Sunday that the Iraqi state-owned Rafidain Bank has closed its branches in Sana'a.

Al-Eryani said in a blog post on the "X" website that "the decision of the Iraqi Rafidain Bank to close its branch in Sana'a and end its financial and banking activities is a step in the right direction and a direct result of international efforts aimed at drying up the sources of funding for the terrorist Houthi group affiliated with Iran."

He pointed out that this measure "reflects a positive response to government warnings and US and international pressure, and sends a clear message to other regional and international financial institutions about the need to review their activities and ensure they do not fall into the cycle of exploitation or use to serve the agendas of the Iranian regime and its terrorist arms in the region."

Al-Eryani asserted that "the Houthis have transformed financial and banking institutions operating in areas under their control into tools for plundering Yemenis' money and financing their cross-border terrorist activities."

Last August, US Representative Joe Wilson accused the state-owned Rafidain Bank of conducting financial transactions with the Houthi group in Yemen, threatening to cut off US financial support to Iraq as a result.

Wilson wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that "the Iraqi state-owned Rafidain Bank is conducting financial transactions for the Houthis, a terrorist organization," adding, "We have a name for these countries: state sponsors of terrorism."

"I will work to cut off funding to Iraq during the next appropriations legislation" in the US budget, he added.

Wilson also urged the US Treasury to "punish" Rafidain Bank.  https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=60756

Debt Crisis Builds, Gold Soars, System Reset

Debt Crisis Builds, Gold Soars, System Reset

ITM Trading: Taylor Kenny:  10-5-2025

The economic landscape feels more unpredictable than ever. From rising prices at the grocery store to whispers of financial instability, many are asking: What’s really going on with our money and our future?

A recent video from ITM Trading, featuring Taylor Kenney and Eric Griffin, dives deep into these pressing questions, offering insights that challenge conventional thinking and highlight crucial strategies for wealth preservation.

The conversation opens with a stark look at the commercial real estate (CRE) market. Imagine a perfect storm: rising interest rates making borrowing more expensive, declining occupancy rates (thank you, remote work!), and a mountain of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) facing refinancing deadlines.

 This isn’t just a hiccup; it’s a recipe for potential disaster.

As interest rates climb, property values naturally fall, making refinancing a nightmare. Many commercial property owners will struggle to meet their obligations, potentially triggering a financial crisis in the sector.

 The proposed “solution”? Central banks might resort to what’s known as “extend and pretend” – temporarily cutting interest rates to allow owners to refinance at lower rates, thereby propping up asset values and delaying the inevitable. It’s a bandage, not a cure, and it has significant implications for the broader economy.

But the real story of our current economic woes isn’t just about rising prices – it’s about the very foundation of our money.

The video powerfully argues that inflation is fundamentally currency debasement. When central banks engage in excessive money printing, they erode the purchasing power of the dollar. This isn’t just theory; it’s a fundamental erosion of your savings and your future wealth.

This perspective flips the script: traditional fiat currencies (like the dollar) are not truly “real money” because their value can be manipulated and diminished by policy. Instead, the rising price of assets like gold isn’t necessarily because gold is getting more expensive; it’s because the dollar is losing its value.

In this environment of currency debasement, precious metals like gold and silver emerge as vital tools for wealth preservation.

Gold, with its intrinsic value, acts as a hedge against a weakening dollar. It’s “real money” that has stood the test of time, unlike paper currencies that have historically come and gone.

A common question is, “Is it too late to invest in gold?” The experts in the video suggest quite the opposite. Given the ongoing monetary debasement, long-term gold prices could far exceed current levels. It’s about protecting your purchasing power over time, not short-term speculation. And for those concerned about accessibility, gold can be acquired in fractional ounces, making it reachable for various budgets.

The video also delivers a critical warning: physical precious metals are paramount. Relying on paper or digital gold products (like ETFs or bank-held accounts) carries significant risks.

In times of crisis, digital assets can be frozen, devalued, or simply inaccessible. Physical gold and silver, however, provide tangible security and control – “money in your hand” that isn’t subject to the whims of financial institutions or government policies.

And don’t overlook silver! Often called “poor man’s gold,” it offers similar protective qualities and is particularly useful for smaller-scale transactions or barter in a truly extreme scenario, complementing gold’s role as a major wealth preserver.

Looking ahead, the experts warn of continued challenges: potential stagflation (a toxic mix of stagnation and inflation), job market shifts due to technological advances like AI, and the near certainty of more money printing to combat economic headwinds. In such an environment, waiting to act could prove costly.

The message is clear: proactive positioning is key. By understanding the true nature of currency debasement and acquiring physical precious metals like gold and silver, you can protect your wealth and secure your financial future in an increasingly uncertain world.

Watch the full video from ITM Trading with Taylor Kenney joined by Eric Griffin for further insights and information. Understanding these dynamics now could be the most important financial decision you make.
