Trump’s Trade Deals in Asia — Strategic Trade Meets Financial Settlement

Why the latest U.S. trade pacts in Asia matter for the global financial reset

Overview
Donald Trump’s recent trade agreements with Southeast Asian nations (notably Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam and frameworks with Thailand) illustrate how economic diplomacy is being used to recast alliance structures in Asia — and by extension, to reposition access to global trade and financial networks. 

Key developments

• On October 26 2025, the U.S. finalised trade deals with Malaysia and Cambodia, covering about 68 % of U.S.–ASEAN two-way trade.

• The pacts include provisions for export-controls, investment-screening, and tariff concessions tied to broader strategic goals (implicitly directed at China). 

• The U.S. also struck a one-year trade truce with Xi Jinping’s China on the sidelines of the APEC summit (October 30 2025), easing trade-war risk and injecting new momentum into regional realignments. 

What this means for global alliances

• Trade deals as alliance currency: The U.S. uses access and concessions in trade to cement partnerships and counter competing blocs (e.g., China-ASEAN, BRICS).

• Financial settlement risk and loyalty: Countries aligned with U.S. trade architecture may gain preferential access to dollar-flows, debt markets and settlement rails — reinforcing the trade-finance-alliance triangle.

• Regional realignment: Southeast Asia may pivot from being primarily China-linked to diversifying toward U.S. and Western networks — changing trade-ecosystem risks and rewards.

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• Stronger U.S. trade ties with strategic partners allow the U.S. to remain central in settlement systems, yet the incentive for others to build parallel systems rises if they feel excluded.

• As trade deals are increasingly tied to economic security and tech supply-chains, settlement systems upgrade to reflect those linkages — making trade and finance inseparable in the new architecture.

• We are seeing a dual-track system: one anchored in the U.S./West trade-finance model and one emerging from Asia-Pacific/BRICS with its own rails. These trade deals sharpen the contours of that bifurcation.

Practical signals to watch

• Which nations receive settlement-rail access, swap line support or credit enhancements following trade deals.

• Whether new trade agreements explicitly mention payment-system or financial-infrastructure cooperation.

• If nations outside the U.S.–Japan–Australia bloc accelerate links with BRICS or non-U.S.-settlement networks as a hedge.

Bottom line:
Trade is not just about goods and tariffs anymore — it’s about who controls the flow of payments, access to finance and settlement networks. These Asia-Pacific deals reshape the map of alliances, and finance will follow the trade.

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

Jerome Powell’s Rate Cut — Monetary Shift, Global Fallout

Why the Fed’s decision matters not just for the U.S., but for the emerging global financial order

Overview
The Federal Reserve, under Chair Powell, cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 bps, bringing the federal funds rate to 3.75 %-4.00 % on October 29 2025. However, Powell signalled that further cuts are not guaranteed, injecting uncertainty into the global liquidity outlook. 

Key developments

• The second rate cut in 2025 comes amid concerns of labour-market softness and economic slowing. 

• Powell emphasised that “a further reduction of the policy rate in December is not a foregone conclusion.” 

• The Fed’s statement reaffirmed its dual mandate of maximum employment and inflation-at-2 %. 

What this means for global alliances

• Reserve-currency signalling: A U.S. rate cut weakens the dollar’s yield advantage, prompting reserve-holders and trade partners to reconsider currency-diversification and settlement-systems.

• Liquidity shifting: Lower U.S. policy rates can drive capital flows toward emerging markets — those that can offer stable settlement rails become more attractive partners.

• Monetary policy as geo-economic tool: The Fed’s stance influences global yields, funding costs and the competitive positioning of monetary blocs (U.S./G7 vs. BRICS).

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• Lower U.S. rates reduce the structural advantage of dollar-funded trade and settlement systems — creating space for alternative currency systems and rails to gain traction.

• Uncertainty about future U.S. policy increases incentives for countries to seek non-dollar settlement channels and to build reserves in other currencies or hard assets.

• The link between trade/settlement infrastructure and national currency policy becomes tighter — monetary policy decisions matter for alliance structuring and settlement networks.

Practical signals to watch

• Movement in carry trades and dollar funding-cost spreads.

• Reserve-currency diversification announcements from major economies (e.g., central banks increasing non-USD holdings).

• New settlement deals in local currencies following or triggered by the Fed’s rate change.

Bottom line:
A seemingly domestic monetary policy decision — a rate cut by the Fed — is in fact a signal in the global architecture. It influences alliances, settlement rails and the balance of financial power.

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

Terrifying High-Tech Bank Scam Drains Your Life Savings In Seconds

Terrifying High-Tech Bank Scam Drains Your Life Savings In Seconds — and ‘devastated’ victims are sounding the alarm

Asia Grace  Mon, October 27, 2025  NY Post

Noel Phillips can’t believe he was cleaned out so quickly — and easily.

The New York millennial was bled dry earlier this year by a group of scammers who used phone number-spoofing technology — software used to misleadingly alter caller ID information — to empty his bank account, taking all of his life savings, totaling nearly $30,000.

“It’s devastating,” Phillips, 33, a journalist and an NYC transplant from London, exclusively told The Post. “I can still hear the voices of the people who called me, posing as employees of Chase Bank, claiming there had been fraudulent activity on my account.”

“They used fear tactics to basically hypnotize me into handing over all the money I’d worked so hard to earn and save over the last four years,” he added.

Deborah Moss, a 65-year-old caretaker from Northern California, was previously thunderstruck by a similar wave of devastation when an imposter targeted her, draining her Chase account of a shocking $162,000 in 2020.

“I started screaming like you wouldn’t believe,” Moss recently told The Post. “I was, like, ‘Oh, my f—king God.’ I was just hysterical. That was all my money.”

That’s the sinister trickery of business imposter scams, which have been on a steady rise, outpacing romance scams, family and friend scams and tech support scams over the past five years.

The crime now ranks as the No.1 consumer complaint of 2025, per data provided to The Post by the Federal Trade Commission.

As of late June, the FTC, which protects folks from deceptive and unjust business practices, has been inundated with over 516,000 imposter scam complaints — totaling almost $1.7 million in losses.

To get their paws on a target’s money, imposter scammers often call — or email, text or direct message — a victim, pretending to be a representative from a trusted, established company. They typically claim that there’s been some sort of privacy breach or unauthorized dealings on their account.

After spinning a falsified yarn about an alleged faux pas, the wolves in sheep’s clothing create a sense of urgency and panic about the situation, convincing their prey to hastily transfer large sums of money or divulge personal information to avoid any further malfeasance.

But in reality, they’re the bad guys, siphoning cash and info for their own greedy gain.

And imposter scammers don’t limit their villainy to masquerading as reps for financial institutions like Bank of America or TD Bank — just two of the corporations that Upper East Side granny Nina Mortellito, 86, is suing in New York state court, alleging they failed to protect her from a $700,000 con.

In August 2023, she was allegedly targeted via a pop-up window that falsely warned that her bank accounts were about to be hacked, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this month.

Over the course of nine months, Mortellito, who suffers from age-related memory issues, was allegedly convinced by fraudsters to make a series of unusual withdrawals, totaling anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, from Merrill Lynch, TD Bank and UBS accounts, according to court papers.

Although the banks were aware she was vulnerable to scammers, they didn’t raise any alarms, the lawsuit charged.

The Post has reached out to Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, TD Bank and UBS for comment.

Robert Georges, Mortellito’s attorney, told The Post he’s inundated with bank imposter fraud cases from victims plagued with “devastation, embarrassment, confusion and upset” following the violation.

“There’s this fear about how they’re going to live without their life savings,” he added. “This is a well-known epidemic in America. All the banks are aware that this is a major problem, but we don’t feel that banks are doing a reasonable job to protect people. We’re bringing these lawsuits to hopefully effect change.”

Mortellito and her lawyer are seeking unspecified damages against the banks, whom they’re suing for negligence, The Post previously reported.

In addition to impersonating bankers in the name of fraud, ne’er-do-wells also commonly pose as customer service staffers for popular retailers, delivery service couriers or utility company workers, just to name a few.

Christopher Brown, a lawyer with the FTC’s Division of Marketing Practices, calls the swindles “sophisticated” and credits the prevalence of artificial intelligence with helping fraudsters seem legitimate.

“AI can certainly amplify the scams, making them more believable,” Brown told The Post, noting the multitude of AI-powered spoofing and voice-hijacking tools available to perps. “They’re trying to gain your trust, making you believe they are who they’re claiming to be.”

The Federal Communications Commission reports that US consumers receive approximately 4 billion spoofed calls, including automated robocalls, from money-hungry scammers each month.

To combat the crisis, the FCC recently implemented its STIR/SHAKEN framework. It’s an industry-standard caller ID authentication technology that validates the legitimacy of calls, allowing the phone company of the receiver to verify that a call is, in fact, from the number displayed on the caller ID.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday Morning 10-30-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  A mysterious visit and closed-door meetings: Trump's envoy arrives in Baghdad "secretly" and meets with prominent political leaders.

On Wednesday (October 29, 2025), journalist Hossam Al-Hajj, known for his close ties to political parties, leaked that Mark Savaya, the special envoy of US President Donald Trump, arrived in Baghdad two days prior and held a series of secret meetings with several heads of political blocs.

According to information relayed by Al-Hajj, the meetings took place away from the spotlight and had a sensitive political character, addressing the upcoming American strategy in Iraq, issues related to the American presence, elections, and regional alliances.

There has been no official confirmation yet from the US Embassy or the Iraqi government regarding the visit or details of the meetings held by the US envoy.  link

Tishwash:  The constitutional clock is ticking... A deputy announces the end date of the parliament's term and reveals the "last minute" sessions. 

Member of Parliament’s Legal Committee, Murtada al-Saadi, revealed on Wednesday (October 29, 2025) the constitutional date for the end of the current session of the House of Representatives, speaking about the possibility of holding limited sessions after the upcoming elections to complete postponed legislation.

Al-Saadi told Baghdad Today, “The current House of Representatives held its first session after taking the constitutional oath on January 9, 2022, and according to constitutional and legal procedures, it can continue to hold sessions and vote on laws until January 9, 2026, that is, after four full years of the current term.”

He explained that “this legal cover gives Parliament the authority to hold sessions, discuss draft laws, conduct readings, and ultimately vote on them,” but he ruled out “holding any new session before November 11, due to the political blocs being preoccupied with election campaigns and field activities.”

He added that “Parliament will hold only one or two sessions after the elections to decide on a group of laws that have reached advanced stages of discussion, especially those that enjoy broad political consensus,” indicating that “a number of these laws have completed the first and second reading stages and are ready to be put to a vote in the coming period.”

This clarification comes as the electoral process enters its final stages, with parliamentary work having been suspended for weeks due to political blocs being preoccupied with alliances and election campaigning. Observers predict that the current session may conclude after the approval of a limited set of laws before the start of the new session in early 2026.  link

Fed Cuts Rates to 4% as Market Liquidity Drains

Fed Cuts Rates to 4% as Market Liquidity Drains

Lena Petrova:  10-29-2025

The financial world is holding its breath as the Federal Reserve gears up for its next highly anticipated policy decision. While a quarter-point interest rate cut seems almost a foregone conclusion for many, the real story – the one with profound implications for markets and the economy – lies in what happens to the Fed’s massive balance sheet.

Specifically, all eyes are on the future of Quantitative Tightening (QT), the Fed’s quiet but powerful program of shrinking its asset portfolio. And according to recent insights, we might be on the cusp of a significant pivot away from tightening.

To understand the shift, let’s quickly recap. During times of crisis, like the 2008 financial meltdown and the C***D-19 pandemic, the Fed aggressively expanded its balance sheet, buying trillions of dollars in bonds and other assets. This “Quantitative Easing” (QE) injected massive liquidity into the system, aiming to stabilize markets and stimulate the economy.

Once the immediate crises passed and inflation became a concern, the Fed began Quantitative Tightening (QT). This involves allowing those bonds to mature without reinvesting the proceeds, effectively pulling money out of the financial system. The Fed’s balance sheet, which soared to nearly $9 trillion, has since shrunk to around $6.5 trillion. The goal: to normalize the economy after years of extraordinary stimulus.

For months, the Fed has been on autopilot with QT. But signs are emerging that the financial plumbing is getting too tight. Liquidity in short-term funding markets, where banks and financial institutions borrow from each other overnight, has been showing signs of stress. We’ve seen troubling spikes in overnight borrowing rates, indicating a scramble for cash.

With cash flowing out due to the TGA and no longer being absorbed by the RRP, the ongoing QT program is acting as a “double whammy,” further draining liquidity and making short-term markets increasingly fragile.

Against this backdrop, many economists believe the Federal Reserve will soon pause or even end its QT program. Why? To prevent a full-blown liquidity crisis and stabilize funding markets.

Ending QT would mark a subtle but powerful shift. It wouldn’t be “Quantitative Easing” (QE) – the Fed wouldn’t be actively buying assets again right away. Instead, it would be a move from actively withdrawing liquidity to a more supportive stance, ceasing the drain and allowing market conditions to normalize. This could involve adjustments to the Fed’s standing repo facility to ensure ample liquidity.

The Fed’s upcoming decision is more than just a number on interest rates. It’s a recalibration of its entire monetary strategy, impacting everything from your mortgage rates to corporate borrowing costs. It’s a testament to the complex balancing act central banks perform to keep the economic engine running smoothly.

For a deeper dive into these crucial developments, I highly recommend watching the full video from Lena Petrova, which provides further insights and context.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Wednesday Evening 10-29-25

Liquidity And Balance Of Payments In Iraq Declined Over The Past Three Months.

Money and Business   Economy News – Baghdad  The Ministry of Planning announced on Wednesday the economic indicators for the country for the first quarter of 2025.

The Central Statistical Organization of the Ministry stated in a report seen by “Al-Eqtisad News” that the most important indicators for the first quarter of 2025 indicate a decrease in merchandise imports compared to exports, which led to a decrease in the net balance of payments to reach 5.9 trillion dinars.

He added that there has been a decrease in public deposits with banks, which has led to a decline in cash liquidity, noting that total bank credit amounted to 71.3 trillion dinars.

He pointed out that the amount of electricity produced in the first quarter of 2025 amounted to 33,142,433 megawatt-hours, while the amount of imported energy amounted to 1,673,496 megawatt-hours.

The unit "megawatt-hour" means the amount of power generated or imported during the actual operating hours of the national electricity grid.     https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=61721

Customs Revenues Exceed 2.15 Trillion Dinars.

Money and Business  Economy News – Baghdad   The Customs Authority has achieved revenues exceeding two trillion and one hundred and fifty billion dinars since the beginning of this year, with expectations that they will reach about 2.5 trillion dinars by the end of the year, according to what was confirmed by the Director General of the Authority, Thamer Qasim Al-Tai.

Al-Ta’i explained in an interview with Al-Sabah, which was followed by Al-Eqtisad News, that this large increase came as a result of adopting modern electronic systems that contributed to doubling the value of imports and improving customs work mechanisms, noting that revenues increased from one trillion dinars in 2023 to more than two trillion dinars this year, and that the complete digital transformation is the main reason for this progress.

Al-Ta’i explained that the revenues achieved will support the state budget within the government’s direction to maximize non-oil resources and support the national economy by revitalizing revenue sectors, in line with the government’s program to achieve accelerated economic and investment growth.

He pointed out that the Authority has begun amending the Customs Law, which dates back to the 1980s, to introduce the concepts of electronic work, digital declaration, and simplification of customs procedures, in order to keep pace with global technological development and contribute to facilitating trade.

Al-Ta’i said that among the most prominent steps of the electronic transformation is the adoption of the “single window” system, which links the government agencies concerned with import and export operations, in addition to the application of the global “ASYCUDA” system to facilitate procedures, reduce time and effort, and reduce corruption rates.

He stressed that the Prime Minister’s interest in the ports and customs file contributed to accelerating the steps of digital transformation and enhancing the Authority’s position as one of the most important sources of non-oil revenues, noting that full automation will reflect positively on the national economy by encouraging investment, raising performance efficiency and reducing operational costs.

In conclusion, Al-Ta’i stressed that the Authority is continuing to develop its legal and technical structure, in order to ensure transparency and smoothness in procedures and enhance the confidence of the commercial and industrial sectors in state institutions.      https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=61717

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Currency — Currency Diplomacy and the Slow Shift from Dollar-Only Settlement

How FX moves and central-bank signalling are becoming diplomatic tools, and what that means for alliance economics

Overview
Currency markets are not just pricing interest rates or growth; they are being used deliberately as diplomatic signalling tools (fixes, verbal intervention, managed exchange-rate adjustments). Recent PBOC fixes and dollar moves around trade optimism show how policy and diplomacy interact in FX. FXStreet+1

Key developments

• The People’s Bank of China set a stronger USD/CNY midpoint in recent sessions, signalling support for a firmer yuan amid trade diplomacy. 

• The U.S. dollar weakened modestly as trade optimism increased, reducing some safe-haven FX demand. 

What this means for global alliances

• Instrumental currency policy: States now use FX policy to reward or discipline partners — coordinated moves (e.g., synchronized fixes or intervention) can be an instrument of alliance economics.

• Local-currency preference: As trust networks deepen, countries in the same political/economic bloc increasingly prefer settling trade in local currencies, reducing USD invoicing for aligned partners.

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• Greater use of local-currency settlements and swap lines reduces transaction reliance on the USD → this is a structural shift in the plumbing of cross-border finance. 

• Central bank reference-rate management and verbal signalling become part of diplomatic toolkits: currency action is policy and diplomacy simultaneously.

Practical signals to watch

• New agreements to invoice or settle trade in local currencies (bilateral announcements).

• Expansion of central bank swap lines or regional FX stabilization facilities.

• PBOC and other major central bank midpoint/fixing behavior around high-profile diplomatic events.

Bottom line: Currency policy has become a diplomatic lever. The gradual shift toward multi-currency settlement, coordinated fixes and regional FX facilities will be a core pillar of the emerging financial architecture.

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

BRICS Capitals Sign Moscow Pact, Mark New Phase of De-Dollarization

How a municipal-level pact is accelerating the shift away from the dollar and reshaping global alliances

Overview
The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa + newer members) de-dollarization drive has taken a concrete step forward: on October 28, 2025 the Moscow City Duma hosted representatives from capitals and major cities of BRICS countries at a signing ceremony of a cooperation agreement aimed at reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar and building a multipolar financial system. 

Key developments

• Mayors, city council heads and parliamentary officials from BRICS member capitals gathered in Moscow to sign the agreement. Pars Today+1

• The agreement emphasises trade in local currencies, alternative cross-border payment systems and municipal diplomacy as tools to challenge Western-dominated financial structures. 

• Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak claimed Russia has shifted to local-currency settlements with China and India by 90-95%. 

What this means for global alliances

• Vertical integration of alliances: National governments are now being complemented by municipal layers of cooperation — capitals and cities aligning with national foreign-policy aims.

• New axis of trade & finance: Capitals of BRICS nations coordinating creates a parallel network of economic diplomacy outside traditional Western structures.

• Shared currency strategy: By promoting local-currency trade and payment systems, BRICS members deepen their mutual dependencies and signal a combined alternative to dollar-centric alliances.

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• The pact signals a step toward settlement systems outside the dollar-clearing architecture (SWIFT/dollar-invoiced trade).

• It strengthens the trend toward local-currency invoicing and payments, which reduces exposure to U.S. monetary policy and sanctions risk. 

• City-level diplomacy means the infrastructure of finance is being re-wired from the ground up—making the architecture of global finance more distributed and less U.S./West-centric.

Practical signals to watch

• Announcements from BRICS capitals about trade settlements in local currency or bypassing the dollar.

• Establishment of municipal or regional clearing and payments platforms tied to BRICS frameworks.

• Further coordination of policy between national and city governments in BRICS nations around de-dollarisation and finance.

Bottom line:
This isn’t just rhetorical: by institutionalising cooperation at the capital/city level, BRICS is laying a structural foundation for a multipolar financial system. The dollar remains dominant today—but the scaffolding for its alternative is being built.

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

Thoughts From Ariel: Iraq Update, October 28th, 2025

Ariel: Iraq Update, October 28th, 2025

Just my personal observations.

Listen, I will say this. With $100+ billion in U.S. post-war infusions think those gleaming Rafidain and Rasheed bank networks wired for SWIFT and blockchain-ready ops the stage is set.

Iraq’s CBI has been prepping their in-country redenomination (lop off three zeros from notes, so 1,000 old IQD becomes 1 new IQD) to clean up domestic inflation without shifting real value.

But internationally? Trump’s forcing a revaluation tie-in, pairing the new dinar at ~$1 USD (or 1:1) on Forex by Q 2026, making every old note redeemable at parity. Why?

Iraq owes us big oil infrastructure, military bases, frozen assets and this flips their black-market currency into a repayment machine.

No more three-decade stall; Trump’s Treasury team (led by Bessent) has backroom pacts with Baghdad’s PM Sudani, enforced via tariff threats on their $20B annual U.S. oil exports.

Banks like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo? They’re drilled for this internal memos confirm 1:1 desks ready, with FDIC greenlights for seamless swaps.

Today (Oct 2025), 1 USD buys ~1,310 old IQD. Your 100k old IQD? Worth ~$76 USD peanuts, locked in dealer spreads.

Redenomination Step (Iraq Domestic): Drops three zeros. Your 100k old IQD = 100 new IQD (face value only; no value change yet it’s like swapping 1,000 pennies for 1 dollar, same buying power in Baghdad markets).

Revalue Trigger (International/Forex): Trump’s deal sets new IQD at 1:1 USD. So 100 new IQD = $100 USD. Scaled: If you hold 100k old IQD (post-redenom: 100 new IQD), cash in for $100 USD exact parity, minus ~2% bank fees.

Now for the ~$35B in U.S.-held old dinars (Treasury vaults), this nets $35B back in greenbacks. Your stack? Direct 1:1 conversion at U.S. branches (call ahead Chase at 270 Park Ave, NYC, or BofA hubs). Iraq repays via oil-backed reserves flooding Forex liquidity; Americans cash in tax-free under Trump’s foreign-exchange amnesty (no cap gains on pre-2026 swaps). From what I was told. But this needs more study.

CBI announces redenom Jan 2026 or before; Forex relist anytime between Jan/March 2026. Even though I would never rule out Christmas. Trump’s chess: Hold their $7B frozen assets hostage till they comply equal footing with Saudi riyal, but we get paid first.

Just my personal observations.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 10-28-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night  10-28-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps  (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. it's Tuesday, October 28th  and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for tuning in again on this Tuesday night, we look forward to bringing a really good call to you tonight with good information, and I'm sure, Sue has some wonderful things to bring and I know Bob does, too, so we're looking forward to getting started, let's do it.

Now, let's transition over to Intel. Now I've got a few things to bring to you, starting with what happened yesterday at 1030 in the morning, Eastern Daylight Time, the supreme court voted six to three in favor of President Trump as the commander in chief for the restored Constitutional Republic of the United States as of yesterday morning at 10:30am.

That's a very good thing that's going on. And as such, President Trump is going to have the ability to clean house in all positions throughout the country, and that'll be good.

Beyond that, what we understand is the  ---  let's talk about NESARA first. NESARA and GESARA are supposed to kick off in the first week of November  -- The USN -  the currency, the actual folding money, the new money, the USTN currency, is already in the banks and in the redemption centers, because we know people that have delivered it there.

Okay, well, that's good if they're ready, waiting for us  --  With NESARA starting in, we believe the first week of November, which, by the way, November 1 is this Saturday, two days from now. So we're very close to it. No, it's not two days, four days from I'm sorry. I was thinking it was already Thursday. It's still Tuesday. All right, my bad.

So where does that put us?  According to our connections with the lead bank, Wells, Fargo, we believe what we're hearing is that notifications for us in tier 4B the Internet Group, are to come out between either Thursday, Friday or Saturday, which is the first of November, right? Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Now that's not far off.

The other thing that's major is supposed to happen on Thursday is your ST Germain Trust is to be open. And I know it's not Christmas yet, and I know it's past Easter, but they're opening it up Thursday, and it the funds that they take out of it out of that trust will be used for NESARA  and GESARA.

Now, what we've referred to in the past as DOGE payment is pretty substantial, and the that payment is coming by direct deposit to age 20 to age 30 and over 30, all the way up, will get a payment, and it should start in the neighbor of $200,000 maybe between two and 300 and then work its way up all the way to where anybody 65 and older, I'm understanding, will be at around 495,000 just under a half a mil.

Now that's a nice piece of change.   It's going to be not as significant for us that are exchanging when will that come out? We understand it should come out in the first week of November.

Okay, so that we've got that to look forward to,   let's see what else do I want to talk about ?

So we have the timing for us. What does that mean? If it comes out Thursday or Friday or Saturday, the first of November, it's most likely to come out where we would set our appointments and exchange in the first week of November, which would be Monday, Tuesday would be what the third and fourth of November.

We don't know if it's possible that we get notified, for example, Thursday and go Friday or Friday and go Saturday. So I think we just have to plan on the USN coming out between the first and the third of November is what I'm hearing. So let's call it early, first week of November. And I think we need the USN to be out, out, out in terms of announced probably Scott Bessent, our treasury secretary is who I would think would announce it. We don't know for sure, but I would say that makes sense, so we'll see what happens.

But it's very encouraging to get this happening the you know, the new USN, getting DOGE payment in the first week of November, and also getting the NESARA and GESARA kicked off then as well. And there's quite a bit in NESARA, and I think they're going to roll it out between November and the end of the year.

You might not see everything in the first week or two. It could roll out a little bit at a time, and we might get some disclosure in that time frame about some of the things that are going on that we know about with the arrests and so on. Okay, we'll see what, what that looks like.

But that's really the majority of what is applicable  to us moving into November, Social Security increases obviously did not happen this month, no. So we don't know for sure when they're going to occur.

I would think it would happen now, based on the information we have what happened in November, so we'll see how that what that looks like  -- R and R could either be at the redemption center for us waiting, or it could also be a direct deposit for us that have currency to exchange it and Zim to redeem.

President Trump has been, you know, in Southeast Asia and Japan yesterday, putting trade deals together with Japan. I believe it was with North and South Korea today, getting that squared away --  China, I think, is also done already, and he's got that line up. I think there were nine countries that were involved in. Let's call it the Southeast Asian trade Summit. Let's call it that that were there, and also Zimbabwe was there. Zimbabwe not a southeastern Asian country, but they were there. I wonder why.

Okay, so everything is lining up for us beautifully.

I think that, yeah, I have a feeling they'll get notified and start exchanges first week in November in the new USN, and if they're ready for us right now, they were doing deliveries of USN, ustn, rather, the actual United States Treasury notes and more Q phones. Q phones have been delivered to the redemption centers for Zim holders only and the satellite phones in their satellite phones. They'll work on the StarLink satellite system

That's going to be cool. Other than that, I think I've covered what I really wanted to cover tonight. I've given you the timeline that we're looking at - Bond holders. We didn't get confirmation on exactly when they're going to going to get their emails to tell them they have access to their funds, but it should run pretty close to when we're going in the first few days of November, probably when we're getting our exchanges started.

Okay, so that's what I've got for tonight. I just want to thank Sue for doing a beautiful job tonight on everything and Bob.

Remember, guys, we go to daylight savings time this coming Sunday, at 2am if I remember right, we fall back, meaning we we lose an hour of sleep. Fall so we'll see your phone will tell you it won't change the time for you automatically.

So thank Bob, I want to thank GCK Jeannie, thank you so much. Pastor Scott, thank you again, and Thank you Doug and Becky, Larry and Bob and everybody that has contributed to the big call.  Thank you satellite team for getting the message out so beautifully all over the globe. And thank you big call universe for listening for 14 years, and thank you for your faithfulness.

Let's just take this and keep praying for those Caribbean island nations that are in the path of this hurricane Melissa. Pray for them to be safe, very limited to no loss of life, hopefully, and then just will, it'll be a project for us and rebuild International. So everybody have a blessed night and a great day tomorrow, and we will look forward to seeing you on Thursday.  Well, good night everybody. God bless you, we'll see you on Thursday.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Wednesday Afternoon 10-29-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Markets — Hope vs. Fear: The Two-Speed Repricing

Why markets are simultaneously rallying on diplomatic hope and testing safe-haven ceilings

Overview
Equities and credit markets have shown optimism tied to high-level trade diplomacy and ceasefire developments, while safe-haven assets (gold, certain sovereign bonds) remain sensitive to headline risk. Markets are price-discovering around two possible pathways — durable détente or episodic relapse. 

Key developments

• Stocks climbed on growing hopes of US-China trade progress; currency moves signalled reduced refuge flows to the dollar.

• Oil and defence equities have trimmed the wartime premium after ceasefire signals, but volatility remains. 

What this means for global alliances

• Market signaling: Rapid market responses to diplomatic actions increase the value of being a first-mover in economic diplomacy (trade pacts, tariff relief).

• Investment corridors: Nations that secure peace or trade deals will attract faster capital deployment; allied states will coordinate to build the accompanying financing platforms (bonds, guarantees, development funds).

• Coalition economics: Economic blocs may tighten policy coordination (tariff reductions, synchronized investment incentives) to lock in advantages.

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• Access to capital will increasingly follow political trust networks; market access becomes another lever in alliance politics.

• Private capital will be channeled into projects that carry diplomatic backing, supported by state risk-sharing mechanisms.

Practical signals to watch

• Sector rotation: inflows into infrastructure, travel, and regional champions after diplomatic wins.

• Changes in sovereign bond spreads for countries central to new trade or peace frameworks.

Bottom line: Markets are a real-time scoreboard of diplomacy; as alliances shift, capital follows swiftly — creating new winners and hastening financial realignment.

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

Metals — Gold as Barometer, Not Bulwark

Why gold’s volatility reflects political risk and the search for monetary insurance

Overview
Precious metals have seen dramatic moves: gold hit record forecasts and rallied strongly on risk, then softened as trade/diplomatic optimism returned. Gold today functions as a barometer of fear and a strategic reserve preference — and central banks are key actors. 

Key developments

• Analysts and industry forecasts project higher structural prices (some near-term forecasts exceeding $4,000/oz), driven by central bank buying and hedge demand. 

• Price dips occurred quickly when diplomatic or trade optimism reduced safe-haven demand (gold below $4,000 after trade progress headlines). 

What this means for global alliances

• Reserve strategy: Countries seeking autonomy from dollar dependence accelerate gold accumulation and bilateral swap arrangements to insulate from sanctions or policy shocks.

• Strategic signaling: Visible purchases or gold-backed initiatives become diplomatic signals — showing intent to build parallel monetary buffers.

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• Increased gold accumulation by non-Western central banks supports multi-asset reserve diversification, which underpins arguments for multi-currency or asset-backed settlement systems. 

• Private market structures (warehouse, vaulting, and tokenized gold platforms) tied to state partners may become instruments of cross-border trade settlement.

Practical signals to watch

• Central bank gold buying announcements and import/export flows.

• Emergence of new gold-settlement corridors or gold-linked settlement hubs.

Bottom line: Metals, especially gold, are becoming strategic insurance in a world where political alignment equals financial resilience; their price swings are the market’s heartbeat.

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

Clare:  A mysterious visit and closed-door meetings: Trump's envoy arrives in Baghdad "secretly" and meets with prominent political leaders.

Baghdad-

On Wednesday (October 29, 2025), journalist Hossam Al-Hajj, known for his close ties to political parties, leaked that Mark Savaya, the special envoy of US President Donald Trump, arrived in Baghdad two days earlier and held a series of secret meetings with several heads of political blocs.

According to information relayed by Al-Hajj, the meetings took place away from the spotlight and had a sensitive political character, addressing the upcoming American strategy in Iraq, issues related to the American presence, elections, and regional alliances.

There has been no official confirmation yet from the US Embassy or the Iraqi government regarding the visit or details of the meetings held by the US envoy.  LINK

Clare:  Kurdistan Finance Delegation Begins Talks in Baghdad to Boost Non-Oil Revenues and Resolve Customs Disputes

10/29/2025

A delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Finance has arrived in Baghdad and is scheduled to begin meetings today, Wednesday, October 29.

Delegation Members
The delegation includes Kamal Raouf, Director General of Kurdistan’s Customs, and Kamal Tayeb, Director General of Taxation, along with a number of legal and administrative advisors.

Main Objective of the Talks
According to available information, the primary goal of the discussions is to increase non-oil revenues. This comes as Iraq remains heavily dependent on oil income, which has recently seen a decline in prices.

Reorganizing Border Revenue Collection
One of the key topics on the agenda is how to restructure customs duties at border crossings in a way that boosts non-oil revenue for both Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.

Discrepancies in Customs Definitions
Another major issue under discussion is the significant 80% discrepancy in customs definitions between Erbil and Baghdad, which has created serious challenges in unifying customs procedures. LINK

Frank26   We know very well the budget has been opened with 12-2c. We know very well they told the citizens of Iraq, 'We're going to lift the zeros from our exchange rate to add purchasing power that we promised you'.  We know very well they just finished showing them all the lower notes and fils.  

Militia Man   Removing three zeros from the currency doesn't make any sense to me...They're not going to take off three zeros off the currency.  But what they'll do is they'll take three zeros from the exchange rate. 

Mnt Goat   Article quote: “Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq confirmed that the three-year budget “included very large expenditures and a high deficit,” noting that the issue of removing zeros from the dinar may witness developments in the coming period.”  ... He is then saying by removing the zeros (thus revaluing the dinar) will resolve this issue in the coming period...they only have a few more months until January 2026 and need to conduct the removing the zeros prior to any reinstatement... We know the Project to Delete the Zeros MUST be done prior to the reinstatement ...Remember Iraq is hardly ever on time and so we may go inpart into January. Don’t expect the reinstatement right on January 1st.

$40 Trillion Debt Bubble - Systemic Collapse Ahead | Francis Hunt

Liberty and Finance:  10-28-2025

Francis Hunt, The Market Sniper, joins Elijah K. Johnson to break down the hidden forces driving U.S. Treasury demand and why much of it may be artificially created through the Cayman Islands and leveraged “basis trades.”

He explains how this setup mirrors the systemic risk of subprime and Long-Term Capital Management, setting the stage for another major financial crisis.

Francis also connects these developments to the recent gold and silver pullback, revealing what his charts suggest about short-term bottoms and long-term price targets.

He argues that we are still in the early innings of a massive secular bull market in precious metals — with gold far from its top and silver primed for explosive gains once the debt system begins to unravel.

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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

Member: Gooood morning Mark, Andy Schectman, mods and fellow Patriots!

Member: Hello Mark, Mods And Dinarians from around the globe!

Member: What new and exciting news do you have today Mark?

MZ: On the historic bond side….my contacts are still showing “pending” on their accounts as of the first thing this morning. Hopeful it will be released soon. It is their belief it will all release tomorrow for the bond folks.  2 More contacts are hoping for theirs tomorrow. One of these is a close personal friend of mine.

MZ: Bond folks expect their currencies to go within a few days after bond payouts.

Member: Is the Fed making an interest rate decision today?

MZ: It is probably announcing as we speak. Basically they are pivoting. They are going back to easy money but the fundamentals are still the same. This will probably lead to more inflation….so the question is “What is the plan?”  Devalue the US dollar, then revalue gold, and maybe reset the monetary system??????

MZ: Some of the biggest economist names in the world are all talking about it.

Member: Per Frank26- HCL draft has finalized and approved by the Council of Ministers (COM) and just waiting now to be passed. Also parliament to have sessions before the Nov 11th (election day)

MZ: That is probably accurate. I am hearing it was read and ready to go out of committee to go to a vote in parliament soon.

MZ: An interesting article dropped in Iraq. “ Al Karwi: Parliament continues after November 11 and upcoming sessions to resolve important laws”  they are letting us know that even with the elections, the parliament will continue to meet and pass laws. One of the laws they are concerned about and trying to get done is the HCL (Hydro Carbon Law)

MZ: I am still hearing the vote will be before November. Its great to know they are still meeting to grind out these laws.

MZ: “A delegation from the Erbil government arrives in Baghdad to discuss non-oil revenues” They are also pounding out HCL differences so they can pass it.

Member: Central Bank Iraq signs cooperation agreement … with Kuwait National Bank blending the two currencies within the region.

Member: I am praying the rate is in the HCL

Member: there's no other explanation for the lower denominations other than an upcoming RV / RI. IMO

Member: Mark Z, do you think since we are so close that all the banks that will redeem are trained by now for this process?

Member: They have had more than enough time to do so…imo

Member: I am still waiting for a audit of The Federal Reserve and Ft. Knox. They need to get it done.

Member: everybody relax...you will wake up one morning soon and boom the rate will be there

Member: Thanks Mark and Andy. Hope everyone has a safe and prosperous day
