Mon. 17 Nov. 2025 TIER 1 DETONATED – THE GLOBAL RESET IS NOW IN MOTION …Gitmo TV

Tier 1 is no longer a rumor. It is confirmed. The first and most powerful layer of the global currency reset has been (allegedly) executed in silence as sovereign nations, central banks, and high-level monetary entities  (allegedly) locked their rates and completed their redemptions behind closed doors. Nothing about this stage was public.

Nothing was speculative. It was the ignition key of the entire reset, and now that it has fired, the rest of the architecture begins to move.

Once Tier 1 locks in, the world shifts. This stage establishes the baseline rates that every tier above it must follow.

 These numbers are not predictions or projections. They are fixed benchmarks coded directly into the system. With the foundation secured, Tier 2 humanitarian structures begin aligning for release, Tier 3 high-net-worth pools move into position, and major banks quietly rebalance their ledgers to prepare for the next waves of liquidity.

The entire design is deliberate. Liquidity rises in controlled stages, preventing market shock while allowing global revaluation to unfold with precision.

And while the surface appears calm, the internal machinery is already active: compliance units recalibrating protocols, international channels tightening security, and institutional platforms updating in real time.

This is the quiet phase of a much larger event.

Next comes the most anticipated stage – Tier 4B. The moment when private holders, individuals who have waited for years, finally step into the process.

 Iraq, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe signaling greenlight wasn’t random. It was the final confirmation that the sequence has begun, and that Tier 1 completion has triggered everything that follows.

The reset isn’t approaching. It has already started.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Gaza’s Turning Point — UN Endorses Trump’s Peace Blueprint as Netanyahu Pushes Back

Unexpected UN alignment with Washington’s proposal reshapes the diplomatic battlefield.

Overview

• UN officials signal formal support for major elements of Donald Trump’s proposed Gaza stabilization plan.

• Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects key points, arguing they endanger Israel’s long-term security.

• Arab mediators cautiously welcome the framework, calling it the first viable multi-power roadmap in months.

Key Developments

• UN envoys endorsed a phased demilitarization model, describing it as “the only scalable path to sustained calm.”

• Netanyahu publicly rebuked the proposal, stating it limits Israel’s operational freedom and weakens deterrence.

• Washington reportedly secured preliminary backing from Egypt, Jordan, and Gulf partners for reconstruction oversight.

• UN officials highlighted economic corridors, including proposed U.S.–Arab reconstruction funds tied to governance reforms.

Why It Matters

This marks one of the most significant diplomatic shifts since the start of the conflict. UN backing lends global legitimacy to a U.S.-driven framework, while Israel’s resistance exposes deep fractures over who controls Gaza’s future governance. The competing visions now emerging are reshaping alliances, negotiating leverage, and long-term regional architecture.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 5 — Diplomacy & Peace Architecture

• UN support strengthens a multipolar peace framework no longer dominated by a single regional actor.

Pillar 2 — Sovereignty & Governance Realignment

• Israel’s pushback underscores a global struggle to determine who defines post-conflict governance norms — states, alliances, or international bodies.

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

The Coming Global Debt Shake-Up — UN Signals a New Financial Era

UN and IMF leaders warn that the world’s sovereign debt system is reaching a breaking point.

Overview

• Global debt leaders issued urgent calls for restructuring, arguing the current system is no longer sustainable for many developing nations.

• The UN’s Economic and Social Council highlighted over $1.4 trillion in annual interest costs, preventing vulnerable nations from funding essential services.

• Reformers pushed for a modernized debt architecture, emphasizing transparency, coordinated restructuring, and deeper multilateral cooperation.

Key Developments

• Developing economies demanded faster and more equitable restructuring tools, saying slow and fragmented processes worsen crises.

• IMF and World Bank leaders were pressed to expand their roles, with many nations calling for a more inclusive and representative governance structure.

• Civil society groups joined finance ministers in insisting that debt relief, climate funding, and development support must be integrated into a unified global framework.

Why It Matters
The debate is shifting from temporary relief to structural redesign. If global debt rules are rewritten, the balance of financial power — and the governance of capital flows — could be permanently altered.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Sovereign Debt Realignment — Momentum builds toward a more transparent, predictable restructuring mechanism, reducing the dominance of creditor-driven processes.

• Pillar 3: Financial Governance — Pressure for inclusive decision-making is accelerating reforms that could redefine how international financial institutions operate.

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

Elon Musk Warns ‘The Only Way to Get Us Out of the Debt Crisis’ and ‘Prevent America from Going Bankrupt is AI and Robotics’

Elon Musk Warns ‘The Only Way to Get Us Out of the Debt Crisis’ and ‘Prevent America from Going Bankrupt is AI and Robotics’

Caleb Naysmith   Mon, November 17, 2025  Barchart

In a wide-ranging conversation on the Joe Rogan Experience, Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk offered a characteristically direct assessment of the United States’ fiscal trajectory. Known for speaking bluntly about technology, governance, and long-term societal risks, Musk framed the national debt not merely as a political challenge, but as a structural threat to the country’s economic future. His remarks reflect longstanding concerns he has raised about government inefficiency, declining industrial productivity, and the need for technological acceleration to maintain global competitiveness.

During the discussion, Musk argued that “the only way to get us out of the debt crisis and prevent America from going bankrupt is AI and robotics,” a conclusion he reached after observing what he described as unsustainable growth in federal obligations. He noted that interest payments on the national debt now exceed major federal expenditures, including the military budget — a comparison he called a personal “wake-up call.”

According to Musk, traditional political tools are insufficient: “You can make it directionally better, but ultimately you can’t fully fix the system… there’s no way to solve the debt crisis” without economic expansion at a scale only advanced automation could provide.

Musk’s perspective is rooted in decades of engagement with capital-intensive industries — spaceflight, automotive manufacturing, and energy infrastructure — where advances in automation have been central to efficiency and cost reduction. Tesla’s use of robotics in high-volume manufacturing and SpaceX’s reliance on automated systems in rocket reusability mirror his belief that technology can compensate for structural inefficiencies. His argument that democratic systems are limited in their ability to impose deep, unpopular cuts is consistent with his prior critiques of bureaucratic inertia and his advocacy for innovation-led solutions over policy-driven austerity.

Gold Prices Remain Stable Globally

Economy | 17/11/2025    Mawazin News - Follow-up:  Gold prices held steady as investors awaited a series of US economic data releases this week that could provide a clearer picture of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path.

Spot gold rose 0.1% to $4,083.92 per ounce by 02:56 GMT, while US gold futures for December delivery fell 0.2% to $4,085.30 per ounce.

Traders are awaiting key data releases, most notably the September non-farm payrolls report on Thursday, along with an update to the economic data release schedule, which was impacted by the recent US government shutdown.

Investors currently estimate a 46% probability of a quarter-point US interest rate cut next month, compared to 50% last week, amid ongoing concerns about inflation and signs of relative stability in the labor market following two rate cuts this year.

Gold typically tends to perform well during periods of low interest rates and economic uncertainty, but a stronger dollar index has made the precious metal less attractive to holders of other currencies.

Data from SPDR Gold Trust—the world's largest gold-backed fund—showed that its holdings fell 0.47% on Friday to 1,044.00 metric tons, compared to 1,048.93 tons the previous day.

Among other precious metals, silver rose 0.8% to $50.96 an ounce, platinum gained 0.7% to $1,552.36, and palladium climbed 1.7% to $1,408.13.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270351

After 230 Years, The U.S. Penny Is Retired

After 230 Years, The U.S. Penny Is Retired—What To Do With The Ones You Still Have

Before you empty that change purse, here’s what shoppers should know.

Alexandra Emanuelli   Mon, November 17, 2025

As Dolly Parton once sang, “If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold, I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold.” These days, though, even Dolly’s pockets would be a little lighter. As of November 12, the U.S. Mint pressed its final circulating penny. The move comes after President Trump instructed the Treasury Department to halt production because the coin now costs more to make than it’s worth.

So what happens to the smallest form of currency when it suddenly disappears? Will your old change jars become tiny treasure chests? Probably not, according to coin expert Charmy Harker, who noted that our northern neighbor stopped minting pennies back in 2012 and most Canadians barely noticed. In an increasingly cashless society, the loss of the penny has more practical implications for shoppers than sentimental ones.

Are Retailers Changing Prices?

It probably won’t surprise you that there hasn’t been a single, unified response from retailers. Some national brands with strong Southern footprints—including Georgia-based Auntie Anne’s, Cinnabon, Jamba, and Carvel—have already announced they’ll round prices to the nearest nickel when customers pay with cash. Other stores are choosing a different approach and are simply asking shoppers to provide exact change.

The good news is that shoppers won’t suddenly be stuck with unusable coins. “Yes retailers will still be accepting pennies (except those that no longer accept cash for any purchases), and I believe they will be accepting pennies for a while, most likely until pennies that are currently in circulation become too scarce,” says Harker. Most major retailers have confirmed they’ll continue to take pennies at checkout, so the coin’s retirement won’t cause immediate chaos.

For anyone paying with a credit or debit card, nothing changes. Digital transactions will continue to ring up to the exact cent, and you won’t notice any difference.

What Should You Do With Your Pennies?

Even though the U.S. Mint has stopped producing new pennies, the ones already in your home, car, or junk drawer are still very much real money. Stores, banks, and most coin-counting machines will continue accepting them, so there’s no rush to dump out your change jar.

As Harker explains, “Pennies aren’t being recalled so they will still be in circulation for quite some time, and whether stores and/or banks need pennies will depend on how soon stores start rounding sales to the nickel.”

In practical terms, pennies won’t vanish overnight. Instead, they’ll slowly fade out of circulation as they get lost, damaged, or turned in for deposits. With no new pennies being minted to replace them, the national supply will naturally shrink until the coin becomes more of a rarity than a regular part of your wallet.

So what should you actually do with the ones you have?

Can You Just Keep The Cash If You Stumble Upon A Cache?

Can You Just Keep The Cash If You Stumble Upon A Cache?

Danielle Antosz  Mon, November 17, 2025   Moneywise

Ohio man bought $1K house, then found $10K in the basement

In a world where stories about hidden cash often end in legal headaches or ethical questions, one Ohio man showed how doing the right thing can turn a surprise find into something more meaningful.

Walter Castanedo of Toledo bought a rundown home in early 2024 with plans to renovate it. The three-bedroom, one-bath house cost him only $1,000. While clearing out the basement, he uncovered something he never expected: old envelopes stuffed with $100 bills. In total, he found about $10,000 hidden between paving stones.

"I just kind of felt like 'Whoa'," Castanedo told WTOL 11 reporter Steve Iwanek in early 2025. "Because you read about this stuff, but you never actually see it. And then when it's right there in front of you, it's kind of hard to process.”

Most of the bills appeared to be from the early 1980s, with the most recent from 1981, which suggested the money had been hidden for decades.

Finding treasure

Castanedo discovered five envelopes with money inside while gutting the basement of the small home. Some were wedged under bricks where he believed a potbelly stove once sat.

"They were black, but you could just make out when I shined a light on it,” Castanedo explained. “There were 100s in the corners."

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator, $10,000 in January of 1981 would be worth $36,276.44 as of December 2024.

But the real surprise wasn’t the cash itself. After the shock wore off, Castanedo tried to track down someone connected to the home’s past. With a few calls, he reached Andrew Aranyosi, who lived in the house from 1946 to 1967. Aranyosi believed his dad, Andrew Sr., likely hid the money.

"I talked to him (Aranyosi) and I said, 'Look, I found something in your basement," Castanedo told WTOL11. "I found some money in your basement and I'd like to split it with you. "

Aranyosi was shocked. He suspected his dad had likely hidden the cash, but he never knew about it.

"My dad built parts of the home," Aranyosi said. "He added a whole new bedroom on the back of the house above the kitchen, and that's actually the bedroom I was in. The $10,000 — I would say my father definitely tucked that somewhere in the bricks or wherever."

Dr. Judy Shelton recently told me something that the world should play close attention too.

China, the world’s largest producer and consumer of gold, is almost certainly not being transparent about how much it really holds.

Through the Shanghai Gold Exchange, Beijing has quietly built the infrastructure to merge gold and the yuan — setting the stage for settlement through digital instruments or stablecoins.

She warned that China may soon propose a new international monetary system anchored to gold… a move that could redefine global finance.

“Vietnam News and Views” Posted by Henig at KTFA 11-17-2025

KTFA:

Henig:  IMO: I like what I'm seeing here: "major progress on multiple issues" and "narrowing differences on outstanding matters." As we've discussed before, exchange rates are almost always going to be a part of any trade talks like this--especially given the fact that they're spurred on by President Trump's tariffs. Let's continue to watch and see how this situation develops.

Việt Nam, US make major progress in 5th round of trade talks

 November 16, 2025 - 16:19

In the series of talks, the Vietnamese and US delegations made major progress on multiple issues, including services, digital trade, agriculture, technical barriers to trade (TBT), and sanitary and phytosanitary standards (SPS), while narrowing differences on outstanding matters.

HÀ NỘI — According to the agreed plan, the fifth round of in-person negotiations on the Việt Nam–United States Reciprocal Trade Agreement concluded after the three-day session from November 12 to 14 in Washington DC, the Ministry of Industry and Trade reported.

Việt Nam’s negotiating delegation was led by Minister of Industry and Trade and Government Chief Negotiator Nguyễn Hồng Diên, joined by members of the negotiating team and representatives from the Ministries of Public Security, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Home Affairs, Agriculture and Environment, Science and Technology, Justice and the State Bank of Việt Nam.

During the talks, the Vietnamese and US delegations made major progress on multiple issues, including services, digital trade, agriculture, technical barriers to trade (TBT) and sanitary and phytosanitary standards (SPS), while narrowing differences on outstanding matters.

In the closing session, both the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) and the Vietnamese negotiating team assessed the round as highly positive, creating favourable conditions for the early conclusion of the Việt Nam–US Reciprocal Trade Agreement.

The US highly valued the goodwill, effort and creative approach of the Vietnamese delegation, particularly the results of the direct meeting between Minister Diên and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer held immediately before the official technical negotiations. Responding to Việt Nam’s proposals, the US side offered initial positive feedback and indicated it could consider further steps based on the overall negotiation outcome.

The two sides also agreed on follow-up work after this round and consented to hold several online meetings in the coming days to continue addressing outstanding issues and prepare for a virtual ministerial-level negotiation between Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Minister Diên, expected later in November.

In addition to the negotiations, Minister Diên held working sessions with the US Under Secretary of State, members of the House of Representatives including the Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, and met with leaders of major US technology and semiconductor companies as well as the Footwear and Apparel Association, to promote bilateral economic, investment and trade cooperation and rally support for Việt Nam’s reciprocal trade negotiations. — VNS

Vietnam 2.0 investor conference to spotlight new “Dragon Rising” growth phase

November 17, 2025 - 07:26

Held under the theme “Vietnam 2.0 – Unlocking the Next Growth Phase,” the two-day event on December 3-4 will explore Việt Nam’s transformation into a new era of accelerated and sustainable growth.

HCM CITY — More than 100 leading investors from Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Japan, Europe and the UK will gather in HCM City early next month for the Dynam Investor Conference 2025, one of the year’s most anticipated international investment events.

Held under the theme “Vietnam 2.0 – Unlocking the Next Growth Phase,” the two-day event on December 3-4 will explore Việt Nam’s transformation into a new era of accelerated and sustainable growth.

The conference, jointly organised by Dynam Capital Ltd (Guernsey), Vantage Point Asset Management (Singapore) and Shinec Vietnam, aims to open new channels for long-term foreign capital into one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic economies.

According to the organisers, the event will feature in-depth analyses, candid dialogues and direct networking with top Vietnamese business leaders and policymakers.

It will bring together global financial experts to discuss ways to strengthen Việt Nam’s capital markets and build a more transparent and sustainable financial ecosystem.

Key sessions will focus on macroeconomic trends, market outlooks and investment opportunities in infrastructure, energy, environment and technology.

The event follows a successful Melbourne VPAM Vietnam Investment Roadshow, which gathered major institutional investors such as Future Fund, Macquarie Group, Morgan Stanley, Smorgon Family Office, Myer Group, Farrer Capital, Bloomberg and Navigate Australia.

Discussions during the roadshow identified Việt Nam as one of Asia’s next key growth markets, reflecting growing global investor interest in infrastructure, manufacturing and capital markets.

“Việt Nam is no longer just a ‘rising star’, it has become a soaring dragon,” said Ken Atkinson, senior advisor to the organisers.

“This conference serves as a bridge for global investors to seize golden opportunities and help build a prosperous and sustainable future for Việt Nam.”

With billions of dollars in potential investments, the conference is expected to attract significant attention from the international financial community and provide a platform for Vietnamese enterprises to connect with high-quality foreign capital. — VNS

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

The Hybrid Currency System of the Future Has Arrived
CBDCs, stablecoins, and liquidity protocols form the next monetary architecture.

Overview

• Academics warn that CBDCs could increase bank-run risk without structural safeguards.

• A hybrid model — CBDCs plus regulated stablecoins — is gaining support.

• Nations are accelerating research into digital monetary sovereignty.

Key Developments

• New models propose embedding stablecoins into central bank settlement systems.

• Political narratives around “digital dollar resets” are being challenged by policy experts.

• Research shows digital currencies must include strict limits to avoid systemic stress.

Why It Matters
Digital currencies are no longer speculative: they are now central to the next-phase monetary system.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Digital Monetary Architecture — Expect dual-layer systems combining central bank authority with programmable digital assets.

• Pillar: Sovereign Digital Currency — Countries may adopt digital money to control cross-border flows more precisely.

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

Alert: Iran Teams With BRICS for Crypto Sanctions Workaround

Tehran pivots to blockchain-based settlement as sanctions pressure intensifies.

Overview

• France, the U.K., and Germany reinstated sanctions on Iran in August 2025, accelerating Tehran’s push into cryptocurrency-based settlement.

• Iranian officials declared at the deBlock Summit—the country’s first government-backed blockchain conference—that blockchain is now essential for international commerce.

• BRICS partners are increasingly positioned as Iran’s alternative trade network as dollar-based systems tighten restrictions.

Key Developments

• Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said digital currency settlement is no longer optional, emphasizing the need for foreign investment in Iran’s crypto ecosystem.

• Iran’s government pledged to collaborate with universities, researchers, and technology firms to expand blockchain infrastructure.

• Industry leaders criticized regulatory gaps, warning that outdated rules undermine Iran’s ability to use crypto to bypass sanctions.

• Iran’s central bank continues to restrict Rial-to-crypto conversions on local platforms, complicating BRICS crypto settlement plans.

• Business leaders stressed that sanctions blocking Iran from SWIFT make blockchain indispensable, yet regulatory clarity is still lacking.

Why It Matters
Iran is openly positioning digital assets as a survival mechanism. With Western sanctions tightening and access to traditional payment channels blocked, cryptocurrencies are becoming Tehran’s primary pathway for international trade.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Currency & Trade Integration — BRICS-led digital settlement is accelerating as sanctioned nations seek non-dollar channels.

• Pillar: Digital Monetary Architecture — Iran’s rapid blockchain adoption may push BRICS toward a unified cross-border crypto settlement system.

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

The Ministry of Trade is adopting strategic steps to enhance Iraq’s chances of joining the World Trade Organization as a full member.

The official spokesman for the ministry, Mohammed Hanoun, said in a statement followed by “Al-Eqtisad News” that “joining the organization represents an important step towards full integration into the global economy and reflects Iraq’s commitment to reforming its economic and trade system in accordance with international standards.”

Hannon added that “joining requires the government to implement a reform program that includes strengthening trade policy, improving the business environment, and creating favorable conditions for foreign investment,” explaining that the ministry is working in coordination with the relevant authorities to take all necessary steps to complete the joining process.  LINK

Clare:  "At the last minute": A legal comment on calls for "extraordinary sessions"

11/17/2025

On Monday, legal and constitutional expert Salem Hawas commented on calls to hold extraordinary sessions of the Iraqi parliament days before its constitutional term ends.

Hawas told Shafaq News Agency that "the calls made in the last days of the parliamentary term to hold emergency or extraordinary sessions do not change the deteriorating legislative reality over the past four years, and the lost time cannot be suddenly remedied a few weeks before the end of the parliament's term."

He explained that “the Iraqi Constitution, in Article (58/First), allows the Speaker of Parliament or fifty members of parliament to call for an extraordinary session dedicated to a specific topic. However, this text should not be used as a cover to pass laws that have been stalled for four years, and then to suggest that Parliament is fulfilling its duties at the last minute.”

He added that "real legislative work is measured by adherence to constitutional deadlines and the principle of legislative continuity, not by intensifying sessions in a few weeks to complete what has accumulated in shortcomings. The laws that have been discussed since the first day of the parliamentary session have not seen the light, despite their importance and sensitivity, including laws on compensating victims, the Popular Mobilization Forces, drugs, the various amendments to the service and salary scale, minors, civil defense, and others."

He added that “intensifying the calls now does not absolve the House of Representatives of its political and constitutional responsibility for the delay, nor does it grant full legitimacy to pass complex legislation without sufficient discussions or technical consultations. The House of Representatives must exercise its legislative and oversight role fully and regularly throughout the years of the session, not just in its final weeks.”

The legal and constitutional expert concluded by saying that "the constitution does not recognize the term 'wasted time,' but it does recognize the principle of the proper functioning of public facilities, which has not been achieved in legislative performance during the past years. Extraordinary sessions are a constitutional right, but they are not a substitute for a genuine commitment to legislative duty, and they should not turn into a cosmetic attempt in the last days of the parliament's term."

Earlier today, Mohammed al-Khafaji, a member of the legal committee in the Iraqi parliament, called on the Speaker of Parliament to hold extraordinary sessions to finalize some important laws before the end of the current parliamentary session.  LINK

Militia Man  There's a very interesting thing that's taking place today...It's an article...with Sudani from Newsweek.  It's going to come out on November 21st...I think it has some serious significance with timing...Iraq has been really vocal that she's doing things...but there's a lot of things in the background they're not telling us...Many different things haven't been exposed yet...because it's about an exchange rate...The BIS...IMF... United States Treasury Federal Reserve and everybody have to be very quiet about certain things.  But they have to give education...That article in Newsweek...is about the Prime Minister Sudani and his plan to Make Iraq Great Again...It's not just a feel good story.  To me and I think to the world, it's a signal.  It's a real sign Iraq is getting ready for a major changes in money, trade and global standing...It's Newsweek for crying out loud.

Frank26   There was a wonderful release from an American Magazine called Newsweek...concerning the Iraqi Prime Minister... Newsweek is telling the world it's time to shine... Do you think 1310 deserves to be put in any spotlight?  What is it Newsweek is trying to tell the international  world? ...Time to shine, prime minister.  It's going to shine like a diamond.

Member: mark z what’s most important HCL law or bonds get REER out. We are getting close to thanksgiving

Member: Some gurus say no RV until after Jan. 1….Iraq Parliament reconvenes on Jan 8. That’s why I think we may be waiting that long.

MZ: “ Government Advisor: Amendment to the Trade Agency Law supports Iraq’s ascension to the World Trade Organization” and “ Al Sudani supports Iraq’s ascension to the World Trade Organization with a new law”

MZ: They are trying to wrap up everything so they can ascend to the WTO. Sudani is in Erbil right now working on the HCL issues.

Member: I wonder if Iraq needs to be in the WTO before they an RV?

Member: I think the WTO is waiting for them to RV and then they let them in the WTO!!!
