Central Bank of Iraq Announces Digital Dinar
Central Bank of Iraq Announces Digital Dinar
Edu Matrix: 12-7-2025
The video presents an insightful overview of recent developments in Iraq’s financial and geopolitical landscape.
It begins with the Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) banking sector reform program aimed at modernizing the financial system through introducing a digital dinar and restricting dollar transactions to curb illicit financial flows and enhance regulatory oversight.
The CBI governor clarified that these reforms are not a prelude to currency redenomination or devaluation but are intended to stabilize the economy, increase transparency, and encourage greater public trust in the formal banking sector.

The video presents an insightful overview of recent developments in Iraq’s financial and geopolitical landscape.
It begins with the Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) banking sector reform program aimed at modernizing the financial system through introducing a digital dinar and restricting dollar transactions to curb illicit financial flows and enhance regulatory oversight.
The CBI governor clarified that these reforms are not a prelude to currency redenomination or devaluation but are intended to stabilize the economy, increase transparency, and encourage greater public trust in the formal banking sector.
However, public skepticism remains high, with Iraqi citizens reluctant to deposit their currency in banks, posing a challenge to the reform’s success.
The video then shifts focus to the geopolitical strategy of the United States in Iraq, highlighting the opening of the world’s largest US consulate in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region.
This $800 million facility symbolizes strengthened US presence and commitment in northern Iraq, particularly significant amid rising regional tensions involving Iran, Syria, Turkey, and the ongoing Kurdish autonomy disputes.
The consulate’s opening follows years of fluctuating US-Kurdish relations and recent attacks on Kurdish infrastructure attributed to Iran-backed militia groups.
The US government’s message is clear: despite planned troop withdrawals, America intends to maintain a robust diplomatic and strategic foothold in Iraq, particularly in regions free from Iranian influence, signaling continued engagement and influence in the broader Middle Eastern geopolitical landscape.

Judy Note: From the below information in this update it might be assumed, and I could be wrong, that a Black Swan Event was well on it’s way to collapse the Global Financial System.
As of the month of December 2025 the world’s top economies were insolvent: the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, Israel, U.K., Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand. They have been (allegedly) held up by false news reporting and the fiat US Dollar, but cannot sustain their debt any longer.
The fiat Global Financial system was crumbling, though a monumental shift has been happening since the (allegedly) Nov. 28 2025 shotgun start of the Global Currency Reset.
The new revalued gold/asset-backed currency rates on the Quantum Financial System (QFS) (allegedly) locked into place on Fri. 5 Dec. 2025 and would be announced to the public in Jan. 2026.
The gold backed QFS was set to replace the corrupt banking system that has enslaved the World for centuries. This fully decentralized system was set to eliminate the Central Banks and their criminal grip on global finance.
At 00:00 Z**u sharp on Sat. morning 6 Dec. the Saint Germain World Trust (allegedly) released the “Infinity Tranche” uncountable zeros. Every humanitarian wallet on Earth just received an irreversible nine-figure starter balance.
A few moments later at 00.06 Z**u on Sat. 6 Dec. all sovereign rate screens(allegedly) showed “Redeemed.”
By Mon. 8 Dec. 2025 the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) was set to activate worldwide and give pointers on how to access your banking money account already mirrored onto the QFS.
Tier 4B appointments for those in the Internet Group who hold foreign currencies and Zim Bonds (allegedly) commence on Tues. 9 Dec. 2025
Thurs. 18 Dec. will (allegedly) see a full global rollout of the Global Currency Reset to the general public.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Global Currency Reset:
Sat. 6 Dec. 2025 Wolverine: Wolvie says he will be fully under NDA in a few days. He will do the opera but will be off Telegram. Triggers will receive their master contracts today, to sign. Secondary contracts will go to their members. After signing and returning, they will be paid on Monday. Early payments of GESARA have begun. The taking down of the fiat dollar and banking systems has begun. The transition is designed to happen without mass panic. The system that was designed around hidden taxes and inflation is crumbling. NESARA protocols are being activated. These things won’t be explained in traditional channels. Redemption Centers are ready for December/January intake. The current window, as people focus on the holidays, is ideal. Re Tier 4b, there are lots of rumors. The private sector is moving and people are definitely being paid.
Sat. 6 Dec. 2025 A2Z has confirmed what Wolvie reported, particularly the following:
• Wolvie will be fully under NDA within the next few days.
• Triggers are receiving master contracts now.
• Secondary contracts will follow, with payments expected Monday after execution.
• Tier 4B: Many rumors are circulating that Notifications are expected to begin as Tier 4A payments are dispersed.
• Redemption Centers are prepared and ready for intake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHY THE HOLIDAY TIMING MATTERS
The current window, late November through Christmas 2025, was chosen intentionally. During this period, public attention is fragmented and the nation’s energy is focused on family, travel, and celebration.
It is the ideal moment for Treasury, DoD, and civilian clearance teams to finalize the structural components of the new financial era without interference.
The coming weeks are not about celebration alone, they are about positioning. Those who have followed the signals understand the magnitude of what is unfolding.
The January 2026 transition is not approaching. It is already in motion.

Militia Man Iraq is further along than the headlines suggest because that's what's taking place in that quiet hush that I talk about. They're further along and that's really powerful...Because those quiet signals...are turning louder because they're done with the quiet. They're over that. Now they need to start talking about it and they are. It confirms just how ready Iraq is to get into the international environment.
Mnt Goat It is early December and the CBI may still go ahead with removing the zeros in time for a January release. Oh… but remember it does not have to happen exactly on January 1st as there are thirty-one days in the month. They could also change the plan and remove the zeros in early January and release in late January. There are options...
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: They're running that speech from Alaq again on TV. He said 1310 officially/ legally expires at the end of December '25. FRANK: For those of you who exaggerate, we're not saying there's a new rate on January 1st. We're talking about December 31st. We have no idea what's going to happen on January 1st. <smirk> I'm serious. <laugh> ...If you guys can't take a hint...I don't how else they can tell you it's coming...that you're about to get your purchasing power...I don't know what's going to happen on the 1st of January 2026. I wish I did. I can only imagine...welcome 1 to 1 IMO...

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Visa Pushes Into Syria, Expanding Digital Payments in a Sanction-Shaken Economy
Global rails enter contested territory as financial access is rewired
Overview
Visa signs agreement with Syria’s central bank to build a national digital-payments ecosystem
Move brings global payment rails into one of the world’s most isolated financial systems
Signals accelerating expansion of digital infrastructure in conflict-impacted economies
Key Developments
Visa’s entry marks a strategic shift—bringing Western payment technology into a country long cut off from major financial networks.
Syria’s central bank frames the deal as modernization, aiming to digitize commerce and reduce reliance on cash.
The partnership suggests geopolitical flexibility—as global payment firms seek growth in underbanked or reconstruction-phase regions.
Digital-payment expansion is becoming a competitive geopolitical tool, allowing influence in markets once considered too risky.
Why It Matters
Digital rails are becoming a core strategic asset in the emerging global financial restructuring. Expanding into conflict-affected regions allows payment giants to set standards, create new dependencies, and influence future cross-border trade flows—aligning with a broader transition toward programmable, trackable, and globally interconnected financial systems.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Technology – Visa’s move shows how digital-payment infrastructure is becoming a decisive global lever, especially in nations rebuilding economic systems.
Pillar: Trade & Payments – Establishing new rails in previously isolated countries shifts regional commerce patterns and reduces reliance on legacy correspondent networks.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

China’s Data Sovereignty Push Weakens WTO E-Commerce Rules — Indonesia Caught in the Crossfire
Digital protectionism fractures global trade as data replaces oil as the world’s strategic commodity
Overview
China’s data-sovereignty doctrine is reshaping global digital-trade rules and eroding WTO authority
Fragmentation of cross-border data standards threatens developing nations’ bargaining power
Indonesia faces rising costs, weakened position, and strategic vulnerability amid global digital realignment
Key Developments
WTO e-commerce frameworks are failing, unable to regulate digital markets that now depend on global data flows rather than physical goods.
The U.S. champions digital liberalism, pushing free-flow regimes that benefit Big Tech but lack consistent domestic privacy protections.
China advances “Data Mercantilism,” requiring strict localization under its Cybersecurity Law and PIPL, turning data into a state-controlled strategic asset.
Digital protectionism is spreading — India’s DPDPA 2025, EU transfer restrictions, and other national regimes are creating a maze of conflicting rules.
Developing nations like Indonesia lose leverage, forced to accept unfavorable provisions in bilateral negotiations due to the absence of unified global standards.
Why It Matters
The WTO’s inability to modernize digital-trade rules is accelerating a shift toward regional blocs and unilateral controls. Data — the backbone of global e-commerce and AI — has become a strategic commodity, and the battle between digital liberalism and data mercantilism is reshaping global power structures. For countries without the scale of the U.S. or China, this fragmentation dramatically erodes bargaining power and raises compliance costs.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Technology – Control of data flows is becoming central to national power, altering the architecture of global digital infrastructure.
Pillar: Trade – Fragmented rules signal the breakdown of multilateral trade systems, pushing nations into competing digital blocs.
Pillar: Assets – Data itself becomes a monetized asset class, with governance determining who extracts value and who becomes a digital raw-material supplier.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Digital Sovereignty Wars Escalate as China Reshapes WTO Rules and Europe Targets U.S. Tech
Fragmented data governance pushes the world deeper into competing digital blocs
Overview
WTO e-commerce rules are collapsing amid China’s expanding data-sovereignty doctrine
Digital protectionism spreads as nations impose localization rules and platform regulations
EU fines against X highlight a widening transatlantic battle over tech control, free speech, and data flows
Key Developments
Cross-border data flows now underpin a US$6.86 trillion e-commerce ecosystem, yet the WTO remains unable to craft binding rules to protect digital trade.
China’s Cybersecurity Law and PIPL enforce strict localization, framing data as a sovereign asset essential to national security and technological independence.
The U.S. pushes for open data flows, but domestic privacy inconsistencies weaken its negotiating position and fuel accusations of double standards.
Indonesia is caught between competing digital ideologies, facing higher compliance costs and weakened bargaining power as global rules fragment.
Europe’s record fine against X reveals a new fault line—the EU’s aggressive regulatory posture against Big Tech is clashing with U.S. officials who call the penalties a political attack on American platforms.
Trump-era officials, including Marco Rubio and JD Vance, accuse Brussels of censorship-driven regulation, highlighting widening ideological divergence over digital governance.
Why It Matters
The global trading system is splitting along digital-sovereignty lines. China’s mercantilist model, the U.S. free-flow agenda, and Europe’s regulatory maximalism are incompatible—leaving countries like Indonesia without a stable framework. As governance fractures, digital markets are shifting from a unified global system toward rival spheres of control, transforming how value, information, and influence flow across borders.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Technology – Control of data and platforms is becoming the primary lever of geopolitical power, shaping who sets the rules of the digital economy.
Pillar: Trade – With WTO mechanisms paralyzed, nations are defaulting to regional and unilateral rules, accelerating the breakdown of multilateral trade.
Pillar: Governance – The U.S.–EU fight over platform regulation signals a deeper realignment: digital regulation is now a central arena of geopolitical competition.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Some Thoughts on Silver’s All Time High
Some Thoughts on Silver’s All Time High
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) December 3, 2025
The ancient people of Uruk— who lived in modern-day southern Iraq more than 5,000 years ago— didn’t seem terribly interested in bequeathing colorful stories of their civilization to history.
Rather than memorialize abundant tales of their immense works, or chisel countless tablets embellishing stories of their military victories, the main artifacts they left behind to modern historians are rather mundane market accounts and grain prices.
Some Thoughts on Silver’s All Time High
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) December 3, 2025
The ancient people of Uruk— who lived in modern-day southern Iraq more than 5,000 years ago— didn’t seem terribly interested in bequeathing colorful stories of their civilization to history.
Rather than memorialize abundant tales of their immense works, or chisel countless tablets embellishing stories of their military victories, the main artifacts they left behind to modern historians are rather mundane market accounts and grain prices.
It would be as if the only thing to be locked into a time capsule from our own era were the stock section of the Wall Street Journal. It would hardly be a reasonable description of our time.
Nevertheless, the ancient scribes of Uruk went to great lengths to record financial and commercial transactions. And one of the things we can see from their civilization is that they used silver (and NOT gold) as the primary medium of exchange.
It’s interesting to note that they did not bother minting coins. Rather, silver was weighed in bulk— the unit of measurement eventually becoming the shekel, around 8.3 grams— and then traded for grain.
(Just imagine paying for your groceries by piling a bunch of scrap and raw silver onto a scale.)
Gold was obviously a well-known commodity and considered extremely valuable... but far too rare to be used as everyday money. So silver remained the dominant financial standard for thousands of years.
Even by the time of the ancient Greeks, and then subsequently the Roman Republic, silver coins (the Greek drachma and Roman denarius) were the primary currencies of those civilizations.
But by then there was a bi-metallic system... a fixed ‘exchange rate’ that governments set between gold and silver.
In ancient Babylon during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II, for example, cuneiform tablets show silver being exchanged for gold at a ratio of 10 to 1.
A few decades later, in the 6th century BC, King Croesus of Lydia minted the first standardized gold and silver coins, setting an official exchange rate—again, roughly 10 to 1.
The Persians under Darius the Great fixed it at 13 to 1. The Romans under Julius Caesar set it at 12 to 1.
Even as recently as 1792, the newly formed United States established a silver-to-gold ratio of 15 to 1 in the very first Coinage Act.
It wasn’t until the late 20th century—when postwar Bretton Woods gold standard was fully abandoned—that this ratio between gold and silver was finally left to the market. Since then it’s ranged from about 25:1… all the way up to 120:1.
Right now it’s somewhere in the middle of that modern range— around 73:1... and the ratio has been falling fast, primarily because silver has been on an absolute tear.
This is pretty crazy when you think about it; gold has skyrocketed this year. But silver is up even more.
And there are a lot of people who focus very heavily on this silver-to-gold ratio and believe that it will inevitably fall to its historic average of roughly 50:1. Still others think that the ratio will fall even further to 15:1, where it was originally set by Congress in 1792.
This would mean $85+ silver, or even $250+ silver.
But here’s the problem: the gold/silver ratio is meaningless. There’s no law or financial regulation requiring the ratio to be at a certain level. Just because it has historically hovered around 50:1 doesn’t mean it can’t go to 5,000:1.
Instead, in order to understand either metal’s trajectory, we should look at supply and demand.
This is why we’ve been so bullish on gold; for the past three years, central bank demand for gold has been soaring, primarily because foreign countries have been rapidly and aggressively diversifying their US dollar holdings.
And for a sovereign government, gold makes a lot of sense. It’s portable. Universally recognized. It’s a traditional strategic reserve asset.
And most importantly, unlike US government bonds or even IMF “Strategic Drawing Rights”, gold isn’t controlled by anyone... no other government, central bank, or supranational institution.
So there’s zero counterparty risk, i.e. no country has to be worried about being sanctioned or frozen out of its own gold bullion holdings.
This trend of foreign governments and central banks buying massive quantities of gold has sent the metal to its all-time high. And that extra demand has been more than enough to offset weakening gold demand in the jewelry sector.
Moreover, as we regularly argue, this trend is not going away anytime soon. As long as the US fiscal situation remains dismal, foreign countries will continue diversifying out of the dollar.
Silver, on the other hand, does not have such a strong long-term catalyst.
Central banks aren’t buying it; the market is far too small, and silver far too cheap. Foreign countries can much more easily buy $100 billion worth of gold. They just can’t do that with silver.
We’ve predicted in the past that silver would likely follow gold’s run-up— NOT because it shares the same monetary fundamentals, but because investor psychology.
Obviously there’s no telling how far this speculation can go; investors could potentially push silver prices much, much higher from here.
But without that same long-term institutional demand from central banks, silver's trajectory is much harder to predict... and to justify.
It’s also noteworthy that more than half of silver demand comes from industrial applications such as solar panels, electric vehicles, 5G infrastructure, semiconductors, and medical technologies.
According to the Silver Institute, industrial demand for silver hit an all-time high of 680.5 million ounces in 2024, the fourth straight year of growth in that category.
Importantly, total silver demand has consistently outpaced supply. The global silver market ran a structural deficit in both 2023 and 2024, meaning more silver was consumed than produced.
This created an obvious catalyst for higher silver prices.
But it’s important to understand that industrial demand is not the same as central bank demand.
When central banks buy gold, they aren’t trying to time the market or flip it for a profit. They’re diversifying reserves. It’s a long-term, strategic shift—motivated by growing mistrust in the US dollar.
In short, central banks buy gold irrespective of price.
But silver doesn’t have that kind of anchor. Industrial demand is highly cyclical. It depends on global manufacturing activity, tech infrastructure, energy-sector spending, and overall economic health.
In an economic slowdown, much of that industrial demand could dry up quickly.
If the AI bubble bursts and data centers downsize, silver demand slows. If the “green energy” push implodes, and people decide they don’t want—or can’t afford—electric vehicles and solar panels, silver demand drops.
Jewelry demand, though smaller than industrial, faces the same problem. It’s sensitive to consumer spending.
To be clear, I’m not suggesting that the silver price is going to fall. I’m saying that it’s important to understand the differences.
With gold, foreign central banks are a clear and obvious long-term driver of demand. Silver demand, on the other hand, is being driven by speculation and highly volatile (and unpredictable) global economic factors.
And I think it’s important to be clear-eyed about the differences.

TNT:
Tishwash: Iraq achieves a historic leap in the speed of international trade through the TIR system
The International Road Transport Union (IRU) confirmed in a report on Friday that Iraq has become a strategic and rapid transit hub for international trade, having shortened the time it takes to transport large shipments from Europe to the region from weeks to just a few days.
The report, which Kalima News reviewed, stated that "the successful transfer of film equipment from Hungary to Jordan via the Iraqi international road in just six days, after it used to take five weeks, is evidence of a major transformation."

The International Road Transport Union (IRU) confirmed in a report on Friday that Iraq has become a strategic and rapid transit hub for international trade, having shortened the time it takes to transport large shipments from Europe to the region from weeks to just a few days.
The report, which Kalima News reviewed, stated that "the successful transfer of film equipment from Hungary to Jordan via the Iraqi international road in just six days, after it used to take five weeks, is evidence of a major transformation."
The report noted that "this achievement highlights Iraq's growing role as a vital link connecting Europe with the Gulf and Middle Eastern countries, especially with the expansion of the use of the international (TIR) customs system, which speeds up procedures and reduces stops at borders."
The report noted that “the digital expansion of the system and the activation of transit routes through Iraq will enhance the country’s position on the global trade map, and will encourage the private sector to adopt the Iraqi route because of the time and cost savings it provides.”
It is worth noting that the Ministry of Transport had previously announced the implementation of successful trips within the (TIR) system, as more than 1,000 land transport operations were recorded on the Dohuk-Umm Qasr line since last June, reflecting a remarkable growth in commercial transport across Iraqi lands. link

Tishwash: An endless crisis: Why hasn't the oil and gas law been released from the drawers for 20 years?
For more than a decade, the energy sector in the Kurdistan Region has been a silent arena for an unresolved economic and political struggle. Despite the growing need for oil and gas within Iraq, what energy experts describe as a "systematic obstruction" of any attempt to develop the region's production infrastructure continues.
Energy expert and head of the Sustainable Energy Organization, Mohammed Amin Hawramani, confirms to "Baghdad Today" that internal parties in Baghdad have been "obstructing any expansion in the oil and gas sector in Kurdistan for years," whether by opposing the development of fields or limiting the work of foreign companies, despite the region's direct reliance on these sources to secure its needs for energy and oil derivatives.
Horamani points out that the Kurdistan Region, in accordance with its constitutional right, enacted an oil and gas law within its regional parliament, before the Federal Constitutional Court struck it down "in the absence of a federal oil and gas law that should have been passed nearly two decades ago."
The constitution clearly stipulates the necessity of enacting a federal law to regulate the management of oil wealth, but accumulated political disputes have left the issue unresolved for more than twenty years, creating a legislative vacuum with far-reaching economic consequences for both Baghdad and Erbil.
With the region's oil exports halted for over two years due to a complaint from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, losses mounted before exports resumed later under a tripartite agreement between Baghdad, the region, and foreign companies.
However, according to Horamani, the delay was not technical; rather, it reflected, in his view, "a genuine reluctance on the part of some to allow the region to manage its own production or exports," even though all sales are conducted through SOMO (State Oil Marketing Organization).
He adds that international and American pressure was a decisive factor in pushing Baghdad to accept the resumption of pumping, especially with the decline in global oil prices during the past three years to below the price adopted in the budget law ($70 per barrel), which made the federal government more dependent on the region’s revenues to finance the salaries item.
The expert points out that Iraq is "practically obligated to continue exporting via the Turkish Ceyhan pipeline," not only to secure revenues, but also to maintain a sensitive oil-water exchange equation with Ankara, which makes the energy route part of a broader network of regional interests.
For nearly twenty years, the federal oil and gas law remained inoperative despite being included in the constitution, leading to an unstable regulatory environment that affected long-term investments, disrupted domestic gas development plans, and kept the relationship between Baghdad and Erbil hostage to temporary understandings that changed with the change of governments.
Even today, the absence of this legislation remains one of the biggest factors hindering the building of a cohesive energy market within Iraq, and delaying the transition towards more efficient management of oil wealth, both in the region and in the rest of the provinces. link

Tishwash: The collapse of the Iranian currency: a crisis that shakes markets and confounds Kurdistan's traders.
The Iranian rial has been experiencing a sharp decline for days, the most severe in years, in a rapid downward wave that has cast a shadow over the markets of Iraqi Kurdistan, especially the banking sector, which relies heavily on the movement of the toman in daily buying and selling.
According to a Shafaq News Agency correspondent in Sulaymaniyah, the price of 100 US dollars reached about 12 million and 150 thousand Iranian Tomans, an unprecedented level that prompted many traders to recalculate their accounts.
Kawa Yahya, a currency trader in Sulaymaniyah, told Shafaq News that the recent decline was unexpected, stressing that demand for the dollar inside Iran rose exceptionally following the escalation of tensions between Tehran and both the United States and Israel, which put direct pressure on the local currency.
Yahya points out that what is happening today cannot be explained by economic standards alone, and in his opinion, "the political factor is the main driver of the current decline," expressing surprise that a country with such broad local self-sufficiency as that achieved in Iran cannot prevent this decline in its currency.
He adds that many currency traders in the Kurdistan Region have suffered significant losses as a result of the rapid decline, especially those who had been holding large quantities of Toman during the past period.
In the context of a broader economic analysis, economist Ismail Mohammed reveals to Shafaq News Agency that the current crisis has complex roots, starting from the outside and not ending at the inside.
The expert confirms that the deterioration of relations between Iran and the United States and European countries has put the local currency under direct political pressure, saying that "any disturbance between a country and America or Europe is quickly reflected in the value of its currency, and the Iranian rial is no exception."
But at the same time, he points to the existence of concurrent internal reasons, represented by a package of economic decisions that the Iranian government is preparing to implement at the beginning of next year, most notably raising fuel prices and increasing the prices of a number of local goods in exchange for government plans to raise employee salaries, which are measures that he believes will double the pressure on the currency and open the door to a new wave of inflation.
The agency's correspondent reports that the currency exchange markets in Sulaymaniyah, Halabja and Garmian have witnessed a clear state of confusion over the past two days, as a number of traders have reduced their transactions in Toman while waiting for the market to stabilize, while others reported a decline in demand from customers who usually relied on the Iranian currency for daily transfers or for purchasing goods coming from the Iranian side.
This decline comes in the context of a long downward trend witnessed by the Iranian currency during 2025. According to a quick tracking, the year began with a price of approximately 4.8 million tomans per 100 dollars, then it rose to about 7.5 million tomans in the middle of the year following a new round of US sanctions.
With the fall, and with the increase in regional tensions, the price exceeded 10 million tomans, reaching 11.15 million tomans in December, which is the lowest level in more than ten years.
Analysts agree that continued political tension and the absence of radical economic solutions could push the currency down further in the coming weeks unless Tehran intervenes with effective steps to curb the decline. link

Weekly RV Updates for December 5, 2025
Jon Dowling: 12-5-2025
As the festive season approaches, Jon Dowling’s weekly RV (Revaluation) report for December 5th, 2025, cuts through the holiday cheer to deliver a potent dose of critical insights, not financial advice, on the profound shifts occurring across global financial and geopolitical landscapes.
From Iraq’s burgeoning digital currency ambitions to the whispered promises of a coming “golden age,” the report paints a vivid picture of a world on the cusp of monumental change.
The report begins by pinpointing Iraq as a pivotal player in the evolving global financial landscape. Its ongoing efforts to integrate a digital dinar into the international system are gaining momentum, a move that could significantly reshape its economic future.
However, this progress unfolds against a backdrop of increasing regional instability. The intricate dance between Kurdish, Sunni, and Iranian factions continues to escalate tensions, with Israel notably positioned on the sidelines, its readiness for potential military action a silent, looming question.
This volatile environment underscores the complex challenges and opportunities facing nations attempting to modernize their financial infrastructure amidst deeply entrenched regional conflicts.
Shifting gears to the digital asset space, Dowling’s report emphasizes the burgeoning potential of cryptocurrencies, particularly XRP.
It’s framed as potentially one of the “last affordable investment opportunities” before an anticipated bull run. This optimistic outlook is explicitly linked to predicted changes within the U.S. Federal Reserve leadership.
The anticipated appointment of Kevin Hasset is highlighted, signaling a potential shift towards more crypto-friendly, low-interest policies that could fuel significant growth in the digital asset market. For many, this signals a pivotal moment for those looking to enter or expand their positions in the crypto space.
Perhaps the most transformative insights came via a revealing clip from X22’s financial report, where Donald Trump is quoted outlining a radical blueprint for America’s financial future. This vision transcends incremental policy changes, proposing a fundamental overhaul of the current system.
This comprehensive plan is presented as part of an anticipated “global monetary reset,” designed to dismantle existing debt-based systems and usher in a new era of financial solvency and integrity.
Despite the reported volatility and geopolitical complexities, the overall tone of Jon Dowling’s report remains cautiously optimistic. It suggests that while significant challenges lie ahead, the world is collectively moving towards a “golden age” of financial restructuring.
The convergence of digital currency adoption, a looming global monetary reset, and a re-evaluation of national financial strategies points to a future that could look dramatically different from our present.
For deeper dives and comprehensive understanding, Jon Dowling encourages viewers to watch the full video for further insights and information.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
India Deploys $16B Liquidity Boost as Debt Pressures Intensify
RBI rate cut signals major economies leaning on monetary tools to manage rising debt stress
Overview
RBI cuts policy repo rate by 25 bps to 5.25%, easing borrowing costs amid slowing economic momentum.
Up to $16B in liquidity support announced through bond purchases and forex-swap operations.
Move signals growing reliance on monetary interventions to stabilize debt-heavy financial systems.
Central banks worldwide increasingly favor liquidity injections over austerity or restructuring.
Key Developments
The Reserve Bank of India launched a dual-action intervention: a rate cut plus large-scale liquidity support for banks.
The liquidity plan includes bond purchases and foreign-exchange swap operations, designed to stabilize funding markets and reduce rollover risk.
The decision reflects global macro-stress, as several economies attempt to soften the impact of high sovereign and private-sector debt loads without triggering credit shocks.
Analysts note this shift mirrors a broader pattern among emerging markets, where monetary easing is used to offset tightening global financial conditions rather than relying on politically unpopular fiscal adjustments.
Why It Matters
Debt sustainability is becoming the defining stress point of the global financial architecture. India’s actions show how major economies increasingly rely on central-bank levers—not fiscal discipline—to avoid systemic strain, highlighting how debt pressures are shaping the global reset dynamic.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Debt (Monetary Backstops Replace Austerity)
Nations are turning to central-bank liquidity instead of direct restructuring, signaling a transition toward permanent debt monetization frameworks.
Pillar: Trade (Regional Flows Under Pressure)
As debt burdens rise, currency volatility increases, forcing countries to create protective trade and liquidity buffers within their regions.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Unveils Gold-Backed UNIT System as Parallel Dollar Alternative
New settlement instrument accelerates bloc-based finance in the global reset
Overview
BRICS officially launches its gold-backed UNIT payment system, advancing a commodity-anchored model for cross-border trade.
The framework enables settlement in gold, platinum, and rare-earth minerals—bypassing Western-controlled financial channels.
The system now includes eleven full BRICS participants with twenty-two more applying to join.
Global central-bank buying reinforces BRICS’ strategy as gold accumulations hit multiyear records.
Key Developments
UNIT is designed as a wholesale, cross-border settlement instrument collateralized by gold and a BRICS currency basket. Insiders describe it as a formalized mechanism for parallel trade settlement in a multipolar world.
BRICS gold reserves continue to expand. Brazil added 16 metric tonnes in September 2025—its first since 2021—bringing reserves to 145.1 tonnes. Russia (2,336t), China (2,298t), and India (880t) anchor the bloc’s holdings.
Global central-bank buying tops 1,000 tonnes annually (2022–2024), the longest sustained accumulation streak in modern history.
Analysts suggest the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) may ultimately issue UNIT, with a valuation formula rumored at 40% gold / 60% BRICS currency basket—though formal confirmation is pending.
BRICS positions UNIT as a non-fiat, collateral-anchored alternative backed by physical commodities rather than U.S. dollar credit structures.
Why It Matters
UNIT is not merely another payment system—it reflects the strategic split of global finance. BRICS is accelerating the move toward commodity-anchored trade settlement, reducing reliance on U.S. monetary policy, and creating a parallel economic architecture aligned with a multipolar reset.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Assets (Gold as Neutral Collateral)
BRICS is using gold to rebuild trust in settlement, shifting value away from fiat and reinforcing physical collateral as a base layer of global trade.
Pillar: Trade (Bloc-Based Settlement Systems)
UNIT creates a parallel trade network that operates outside Western platforms, accelerating fragmentation into competing monetary ecosystems.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Saturday Afternoon 12-6-25

Thursday, December 4, 2025, 13:53 | Economy Number of views: 267 Baghdad / NINA / The Central Bank of Iraq has settled the controversy surrounding the decision to freeze the funds and movable and immovable assets of a number of international parties and entities.

The Central Bank: These Are The Circumstances Surrounding The Decision To Freeze The Funds Of International Entities And Parties... And We Have Directed That Some Of Its Provisions Be Amended.
Thursday, December 4, 2025, 13:53 | Economy Number of views: 267 Baghdad / NINA / The Central Bank of Iraq has settled the controversy surrounding the decision to freeze the funds and movable and immovable assets of a number of international parties and entities. The bank's administration directed, on Thursday, that some paragraphs of the decision be amended.
The Central Bank's Committee for Freezing Terrorist Funds released the text of its Decision No. 61 of 2025, published in the Iraqi Gazette, Issue No. 4848, on November 17, 2025. The decision freezes the funds and assets of a list of entities and individuals linked to the terrorist organizations ISIS and al-Qaeda, based on a request from Malaysia and pursuant to UN Security Council Resolution 1373 of 2001.
In an official statement, the committee clarified that "this list included references to a number of parties and entities that are not linked to any terrorist activities with the aforementioned organizations. The Iraqi side's approval was limited to the inclusion of entities and individuals linked exclusively to ISIS and al-Qaeda."
She indicated that "the inclusion of the other entities' names was due to the list being published before revision, and what was published in the Iraqi Gazette will be corrected by removing those entities and parties from the list of entities linked to the ISIS and al-Qaeda terrorist organizations." https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1265164
The Controversy Continues Despite The Government's Assurance That It Has Rectified The Error Of Freezing The Funds Of Two Entities.
December 5, 2025 Baghdad - Al-Zaman Vehicles carrying resistance flags toured the streets of Baghdad and the provinces in response to the error that accompanied the decision of the Committee for Freezing Terrorist Funds published in the Iraqi Gazette, which included the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Houthi group on the list of terrorist entities, and sparked a wide wave of controversy, despite the directive of the caretaker Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, to open an urgent investigation to determine responsibilities, hold those responsible accountable, and correct the error contained in the decision.
A statement received by Al-Zaman yesterday said that “Al-Sudani ordered an urgent investigation and accountability for those responsible for the error that accompanied the decision of the Committee for Freezing Terrorist Funds, which was published in the Iraqi Gazette and included entities unrelated to ISIS and al-Qaeda on the list.
The government considered this an inaccurate reflection of Iraq’s political and humanitarian stance.” The statement added that “Iraq’s approval was limited to names and entities exclusively linked to the two terrorist organizations, and anything else was the result of an unrevised publication that will be corrected immediately.”
It further noted that “Iraq’s positions on the issues of the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples are firm and principled and not subject to political maneuvering, and no one can question Baghdad’s support for the right of peoples to liberation and to confront occupation, aggression, and genocide.”
For its part, the Presidency of the Republic denied any knowledge of or approval of any decision related to classifying Hezbollah or Ansar Allah as terrorist groups.
A statement issued yesterday confirmed that "this type of decision is not sent to the Presidency of the Republic, as it falls outside its jurisdiction. Its role is limited to ratifying laws and legislation issued by the Council of Representatives, and it learned of the decision only through social media."
For its part, the Committee for Freezing Terrorist Funds at the Central Bank clarified in a statement yesterday that "the published list included parties and entities not covered by Security Council Resolution 1373, and their inclusion resulted from a publication error prior to revision."
The statement added that "the Iraqi side agreed exclusively to the inclusion of those affiliated with ISIS and al-Qaeda, and the correction will be officially published in the Iraqi Gazette." Meanwhile, former MP Raed al-Maliki revealed documented details concerning the decision of the Committee for Freezing Terrorist Funds.
Al-Maliki wrote a post on his Facebook account yesterday stating that "after investigation, it became clear and documented that the decision of the Committee for Freezing Terrorist Funds was made on October 12th and circulated to all ministries and governorates by way of a letter from the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers."
He continued, "The decision concerned freezing the funds of 76 individuals and 24 Malaysian entities. The list of entities included Hezbollah and the Houthis. The same decision, which was circulated to the ministries and governorates, included a request to the Iraqi Gazette to publish it in the Official Gazette."
The Official Gazette had published, in its issue number 4848, the committee's decision to freeze the assets of 24 entities, including items that referred to Hezbollah and Ansar Allah as terrorist organizations, before it became clear that this designation did not have the government's approval and did not align with Baghdad's declared political position.
The committee, formed within the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, is chaired by the Governor of the Central Bank, with the Director of Anti-Money Laundering serving as his deputy.
It also includes representatives from the Ministries of Finance, Interior, Foreign Affairs, Justice, Trade, Communications, Science and Technology, the Integrity Commission, and the Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Services. Videos circulating on social media showed vehicles carrying resistance flags in response to its inclusion on the list of terrorist entities, despite the government's assertion that this was a mistake and an oversight.Meanwhile, al-Sudani approved the final findings of the investigation into the attack on the Kormor oil field.
The spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Sabah al-Nu'man, said in a statement yesterday that "the attack was carried out by two drones, launched from areas east of Tuz Khurmatu," noting that "the drone wreckage has been secured and the names of the perpetrators, who belong to outlaw groups, have been determined."
He confirmed that "al-Sudani approved the committee's recommendations, which included redeploying security forces east of Salah al-Din, strengthening intelligence coordination, changing some commanders, equipping the field with air defense systems, restricting the use of drones, and requesting the judiciary to form a joint committee to follow up on the case."

International Union: Iraq Has Made A Significant Leap In The Speed Of International Land Trade.
Baratha News Agency2082025-12-05 The International Road Transport Union (IRU) confirmed on Friday that Iraq has made a significant leap in transit speed through the TIR system for international trade. A report issued by the IRU stated that "Iraq has become a growing strategic transit hub after successfully reducing the transit time for film equipment from Hungary to Jordan from five weeks to just six days, taking advantage of the Iraqi international road that was recently reopened for commercial transport within the international customs transit system TIR."
He added that "the operation proved that the Iraqi route has become a new route that the world has begun to discover, after it contributed to facilitating the passage of the heavy European shipment at an unprecedented speed towards Jordan, where the equipment will be used in the production of a film that introduces the history of Jordan and its heritage landmarks."
The report also noted that "this achievement reflects the growing role of Iraq as a vital link connecting Europe with the Gulf and Middle Eastern countries, especially with the increasing reliance on the TIR system, which contributes to accelerating transit procedures and reducing stops at borders, thus enhancing the capabilities of supply chains in the region."
The report also indicated that “the digital expansion of the TIR system and the activation of international transit routes through Iraq will enhance the country’s position on the global trade map and will encourage the private sector to use the Iraqi route because of the time and cost savings it offers.”
It is worth noting that the Ministry of Transport had previously announced the implementation of the second international trip within the International Land Transport System (TIR) through Iraqi territory, on the route of the Ibrahim Al-Khalil border crossing in Dohuk - the northern Umm Qasr port in Basra, while government statistics indicate that 1,000 land transport operations have been recorded on this route since last June.

Sudani Praises Ministries After The Growth Of Iraq's International Trade And Affirms The Continuation Of Major Strategic Projects
Localities Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Friday that the growth in land transport activity demonstrates Iraq's commitment to modernizing its trade sector. He also stressed the need for government departments and institutions to proceed with modernization, automation, and digital technology projects.
Al-Sudani's office stated in a press release that he "commended the performance of government agencies and relevant ministries, following the significant growth in international land trade transiting Iraqi territory, as confirmed by the International Road Transport Union (IRU)."
He noted that "the growth in regional and international trade, transport, and exchange via the Iraqi road network is evidence of Iraq's commitment to modernizing its trade sector and adopting international best practices."
He emphasized "the continuation of major strategic projects, most notably the Development Road, and the increasing benefits derived from adopting the international customs transit system (TIR), as well as activating the Border Ports Authority's required systems and facilities in partnership with the IRU."
In his directives, the Prime Minister stressed “the need for the departments and institutions concerned with modernization, automation and the use of digital technology to proceed, so that Iraq can play its full vital and central role in global trade, in a way that benefits local development, creates job opportunities and maximizes the non-oil economy.” https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=63080
Oil Prices Hold Onto Gains As Peace Talks In Ukraine Are Awaited
Economy | 09:02 - 05/12/2025 Mawazin News -Oil prices held onto their gains for the second consecutive day as investors monitored developments in the Ukraine ceasefire talks, amid signs of a widening supply glut in the market.
Brent crude traded above $63 a barrel after rising 0.9% in the previous session, while West Texas Intermediate crude approached $60.
Ukrainian negotiators are preparing for a new round of talks in Florida, while Russian President Vladimir Putin said some points in a US-backed peace plan are "unacceptable" to him.
Markets are watching for any potential progress on an agreement, which could lead to the lifting of sanctions on Russia and an increase in oil exports, although reaching a formal agreement seems a long way off. Meanwhile, additional supply could put downward pressure on prices, which are already facing significant annual losses due to the oversupply.

Why the BRICS Just Launched their Gold-backed Unit
Why the BRICS Just Launched their Gold-backed Unit
Arcadia Economics: 12-5-2025
The financial world is buzzing with a development that could mark a seismic shift in international trade and monetary policy: the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – have officially launched a new gold-backed digital unit of account, aptly named the “unit.”
This isn’t just another digital token; it’s a meticulously crafted system with the potential to redefine global economic relations.
Why the BRICS Just Launched their Gold-backed Unit
Arcadia Economics: 12-5-2025
The financial world is buzzing with a development that could mark a seismic shift in international trade and monetary policy: the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – have officially launched a new gold-backed digital unit of account, aptly named the “unit.”
This isn’t just another digital token; it’s a meticulously crafted system with the potential to redefine global economic relations.
Launched on October 31st in a controlled trial phase, the “unit” operates on blockchain technology, seamlessly integrating with existing national currencies.
What sets it apart is its innovative backing structure: 40% gold and 60% major BRICS currencies. Crucially, there are no bonds or long-term debt involved.
This is a bold departure from the fiat currency systems that have dominated global finance for decades, and it echoes an idea first proposed at the influential 1944 Bretton Woods Summit – an idea that was ultimately sidelined in favor of U.S. dollar dominance and the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights (SDR) system.
This move signals the establishment of a new monetary zone, a bridge between East and West, with gold poised to become the central “password” or reserve asset for transactions.
The “unit” is currently undergoing a “pumpkin batch” phase – a controlled environment allowing real transactions and daily data publication.
This staged rollout highlights a growing divergence between Western and Eastern financial spheres, suggesting that future trade with BRICS nations may increasingly necessitate holding gold and key BRICS currencies in reserve baskets.
This ambitious financial undertaking unfolds against a backdrop of significant market activity. We’re witnessing rising yields, fluctuating commodity prices for gold, silver, copper, and energy products, and a palpable metal supply squeeze, particularly in industrial powerhouse China.
The metal market, in fact, is exhibiting unusual behavior, with indications of a rolling shortage and backwardation in silver – a clear sign of stress in the physical availability of these crucial commodities.
Looking ahead, we can anticipate deeper dives into these market dynamics, including JP Morgan’s 2026 outlook for base and precious metals.
The evolving financial ecosystem will also necessitate a closer examination of cryptocurrencies actively engaged in payment rails, such as Ripple and Cardano, which are likely to play an increasingly important role.
The launch of the BRICS “unit” is undoubtedly a development to watch closely. It represents a potential paradigm shift, challenging established financial norms and paving the way for a more multipolar monetary landscape.

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE! CBD GURUS MATT AND LUCAS KICK OFF THE FIRST 45 MINS AND MARK GIVES THE NEWS UPDATE AT 10:30 AM
Member: Good Saturday Morning to all.
Member: Are we there yet?
Mod: Remember to ask Matt to share the “Limo Story” again
Matt: This was 1995. I used to be a limo driver. I had my own company and there was about 10 of us who worked downtown in Minneapolis. I was by a Hyatt hotel one morning and a doorman told me he has a ride for me (This was just at the start of cell phones)
Matt: I asked the gentleman where was his luggage? He told me he didn’t have anything…just himself.….I asked if he wanted to sit up front and talk on the way….He said that would be great….and he sat in the front seat. At that day and age chatting sometimes made for bigger tips.
Matt: I asked what he was doing here in town….He said he was here for just a couple days meeting with Wells Fargo and the Federal Reserve…he also mentioned meeting a couple big shots that used to work in Minneapolis-Stock Broker outfits ect…..
Matt: I then found out he worked for the Federal Government and was working with financial people. He said there was going to be a “switch over” probably around 2023. He was talking about empires….you know like there used to be a Roman empire, a British Empire…stuff like that. He said the US Empire is ending.
Matt: He said all the financial institutions are getting ready for it. He said they had been working on this since the 1950’s. I asked him who was going to be in charge in the future….He told me it was going to be the East. I was thinking Japan and china ect…..Now I think he was talking about the BRICS.
Matt: Now we know its India. Russia, China, Vietnam, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia ect……I asked if this was going to bad…..He said No, It’s just going to be different.
Matt: I asked if 2023 was set is stone…..he said that’s what they were shooting for.
Matt: the bottom line is -He told me there was going to be a financial switch over probably around 2023 …The US would no longer be the policeman of the world and it would be more of a shared thing. I didn’t know what he was talking about then…I know what he was talking about now. Looks like things are coming to a head now.
Member: Sounds like Global Currency Reset to me.
Member: Crazy that this has been in the works for over 40 years. Thanks Matt for sharing with us.
MZ: Normally a monetary system last about 100 years. And they started planning on a “switchover “ about 50 years ago. That makes sense
MZ: Still very quiet on the bond side…but it will be very interesting next week as we start getting updates and hopefully find out if they got what was expected…Very upbeat bond contacts expect liquidity in the next few days.
Member: If they signed NDA’s….they will not tell you if they got paid….I do not blame them a bit. .
MZ: Some interesting things coming out of Iraq.
MZ: A new foreign policy …a massive change in direction of the United States and how they are going to deal with the middle east and the world. I believe it fits with what we believe Nesara/Gesara is going to look like.
MZ: “Trump Re-engineering the Middle East and drops Iraq’s card” A 29 page document shows Trump’s policy is driven above all, on what is good for America.
MZ: “ Baghdad Today: Publishes Trump’s middle east strategy-official document” so this strategy is changing in the middle east…and all over the world.
MZ: “Trumps new National Security Strategy-Key Takeaways” Basically we (the US) is done trying to engineer countries, trying to change them. He says they are what they are and we need to stop trying to change them. Its up to them and part of them being sovereign.
MZ: But the United States will protect our own and keep our own culture what it is and protect our own borders. And start better vetting to only let people in who embrace our own society and what we have created. Trump says we are not isolationists …but we will no longer be “interventionists” .
MZ: This is a massive change in direction from the globalist policies of the past. He believes he will concentrate on “America First” and other countries should focus on their own citizens as well.
MZ: Trump is hoping Iraq will be a rudder in middle east policy and help others in the region. We are going to get our return on our investment in Iraq and then stop monkeying in the middle east. In the future we are going to just let them do their own thing.
Member: Just like going down in a plane you put your mask on first before you go help others. Can’t help others if you don’t help yourself first
MZ: That is a very good example
MZ: In the future Trump will treat foreign relations as a “business” and quit trying to change them.
MZ: About BRICS…there are a number of stories out today,…..”New BRICS group launches gold backed Unit payment system.” 40% gold and 60% BRICS currency basket. The Unit will allow 30+ countries to trade metals outside the federal reserve SWIFT system.
MZ: This is “Asset Backed” money. This to me is the final straw that forces the reset. This is the Free Markey forcing the new financial system. It may be a bit unsettled while this plays out- but any big changes can cause some upheaval. I am excited about the thought of us having de-centralized money.
Member: This is huge: BRICS will force the reset…..
Member: Mark, some are saying tier 4 B the (internet group)are getting to go to appointments .
MZ: Nobody is going to any appointments…yet. Those people are pre-mature.
Member: Wish we could see the checklist of all that still needs to be done …..and what has already been done.
Member: Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend. Stay safe and stay warm

Paul Gold Eagle: Aurora-QFS Protocol was Activated (Opinion/Rumor)
12-6-2025
Paul White Gold Eagle @PaulGoldEagle
On 12.12.2025 at 03:33 UTC, while the world was asleep, the AURORA-QFS protocol was activated — a silent operation that redirected the global gold channels away from the old banking grid and merged them into the new quantum layer.
From that moment on, the financial system we once knew began collapsing without a sound, and the algorithm of the future descended only upon those who know how to listen.
Paul Gold Eagle: Aurora-QFS Protocol was Activated (Opinion/Rumor)
12-6-2025
Paul White Gold Eagle @PaulGoldEagle
On 12.12.2025 at 03:33 UTC, while the world was asleep, the AURORA-QFS protocol was activated — a silent operation that redirected the global gold channels away from the old banking grid and merged them into the new quantum layer.
From that moment on, the financial system we once knew began collapsing without a sound, and the algorithm of the future descended only upon those who know how to listen.
Inside the closed networks, the cube that appeared — the same one you see here — is the first key, the central node already rewriting the codes of XRP, Bitcoin, Litecoin, and three additional assets scheduled for revelation on 21.12.2025, the date marked as THE SOLAR THRESHOLD.
According to documents never meant to surface, this is when the first global migration will occur — from the old debt matrix into the architecture of quantum liquidity.
Nothing will be announced publicly, nothing will be officially confirmed, yet the signal is already circulating: old-world servers are losing pulse, while those aligned with QFS feel the rising pull of the golden stream.
This is not a prediction, not speculation — this is the phase that was delayed for years… and has finally begun.
Whoever is here already senses the shift.
Whoever remains will see the truth first.
Silence is no longer silence.
Silence is the code.
And the code speaks clearly now: QFS IS ACTIVE.

Militia Man Delete the 3 zeros still being talked about. Lower denomination banknotes have been printed and are stored. That's in the news I have. Old and new notes will circulate for 6 to 12 months when introduced...Is that plenty of time to do an exchange? Of course it is. Is that in country or not? Doesn't say. We'll see how that turns out. But there's no forced exchange and no loss of purchasing power. So that tells you the story. There's no lop. Same purchasing power. It's going to be good.
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: Today we saw on television talk about the different types of floats...and they talked about a managed one...Then Alaq...said the parallel market is now around 1320 which is less than 1% from the official rate. They said 1310 would be good until January 1, 2026. Alaq also said the time for both currencies will coexist for 6 to 12 months... FRANK: Shut the front door! And the back door!

Possible Black Swans Circle | Dr. Mark Thornton
Liberty and Finance: 12-5-2025
Dr. Mark Thornton warns that the economy is primed for contagion because years of Federal Reserve intervention have created fragile leverage points across markets, especially in opaque areas like private equity and commercial real estate.
He argues that despite mainstream caution, small investors remain complacent and heavily exposed, with margin debt and speculative leveraged products still near extremes.
Thornton links the surge in precious metals, especially silver’s explosive move above $50, to rising global uncertainty, inflation fears, and new institutional demand that is transforming the physical market.
He emphasizes that shortages of wholesale silver bars and refinery bottlenecks are reshaping premiums and creating unusual opportunities in constitutional silver as refiners refuse to process it.
Throughout the interview he encourages viewers to understand the principles behind free markets and sound money, highlighting his new book Hayek for the 21st Century as a tool for teaching why government intervention repeatedly destabilizes economies.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
U.S. Reverses Visa Denials as Iran Rejoins 2026 World Cup Draw
Washington clears key Iranian officials after temporary boycott threat
Overview
Iran reverses its boycott and confirms participation in Friday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup draw in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. grants new visas to Iranian officials after initial denials sparked diplomatic tension.
The dispute stemmed from June travel restrictions affecting nationals from nearly 20 countries.
Human rights groups warn that fans from restricted nations may still face unequal treatment.
Key Developments
Iran’s delegation initially announced it would skip the draw after three visa applications—including federation president Mehdi Taj’s—were rejected under U.S. travel rules.
By Thursday the situation shifted, with Iranian Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamali confirming that key officials received approvals and would attend.
Head coach Amir Ghalenoei and FFIRI international-relations chief Omid Jamali are expected to participate after last-minute clearance from U.S. authorities.
U.S. policy currently restricts travel from 19 countries, but includes exemptions for World Cup athletes, coaches, and support personnel. The partial denials underscored confusion and inconsistency in applying these rules.
Fans remain the most vulnerable, as even FIFA’s new priority-access system (the FIFA Pass) cannot guarantee visa approval for supporters traveling from restricted nations.
Human rights organizations warn that enforcement practices could lead to discrimination or mistreatment during the North American tournament cycle.
Why It Matters
The episode highlights how geopolitical tensions and visa restrictions directly influence global sporting events. With the U.S., Canada, and Mexico preparing to host the 2026 World Cup, questions about fairness, security, and accessibility for teams and fans have become central to ensuring the tournament remains internationally representative.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Trade (Mobility and Access in Cross-Border Events)
Visa and mobility restrictions shape how nations interact, even in areas like sports, reflecting broader shifts toward bloc-based access and differentiated treatment between countries.
Pillar: Technology (Digital Identity & Clearance Systems)
Systems like the FIFA Pass hint at emerging digital access frameworks that may become standard as countries tighten entry controls and require enhanced verification for international events.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Gold Pact Expands to 33 Nations as Russia Leads New Metals Exchange
Bloc accelerates commodity-backed settlement systems to bypass Western pricing control
Overview
BRICS gold pact now spans 33 countries, advancing a unified precious-metals trading infrastructure.
Russia pushes for a BRICS metals exchange to establish independent pricing mechanisms.
China’s Shanghai Gold Exchange International anchors the settlement architecture.
BRICS members leverage nearly 6,000 tonnes of gold to accelerate de-dollarization.
Key Developments
Russia is spearheading efforts to create a BRICS metals exchange, enabling gold, platinum, and rare-earth trading outside Western-controlled platforms. Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said the exchange would ensure “fair and equitable competition based on exchange principles.”
The gold settlement mechanism operates through China’s Shanghai Gold Exchange International, which has been building the structural backbone for years. The system was piloted in 2017 when Russia accepted yuan for oil with blockchain-verified guarantees convertible to gold.
Sergey Lavrov clarified that BRICS is not attempting to “replace the dollar,” but instead expand settlements in national currencies supported by physical assets.
BRICS gold reserves now total roughly 6,000 tonnes, representing about 20% of global central-bank holdings. Russia leads with 2,335.85 tonnes, followed closely by China with 2,298.53 tonnes.
The pact’s infrastructure includes vault networks in Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Malaysia, allowing partners to store, pledge, and securitize gold for credit lines.
Officials project the system will be fully operational by 2030, with Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov emphasizing that participation remains voluntary and rooted in physical gold as the basis of trust.
Why It Matters
The BRICS metals initiative challenges decades of Western dominance over commodity pricing and settlement. By shifting trade away from dollar-based systems and toward gold-anchored instruments, the bloc is reinforcing an emerging multipolar financial structure built on collateral, not credit.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Assets (Return to Physical Collateral)
Gold-backed settlement systems reflect a structural move away from fiat leverage and toward hard-asset collateral as the foundation of international trade.
Pillar: Trade (Parallel Commodity Markets)
A BRICS metals exchange introduces alternative pricing power and reduces reliance on Western institutions such as SWIFT and the London Metal Exchange.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

China Expands Currency Swap Network as Trade Realigns in Multipolar Shift
PBOC–Macao upgrade signals deepening bloc-based trade systems and yuan-anchored settlement
Overview
PBOC increases China–Macao currency swap line from 30B to 50B yuan to support offshore yuan liquidity.
Agreement becomes a long-term standing facility to reinforce bilateral and regional trade stability.
China’s November exports are projected to rebound, reflecting renewed trade flows amid tariff resets.
Trade networks continue shifting away from Western-centric settlement systems.
Key Developments
The People’s Bank of China upgraded its swap agreement with the Monetary Authority of Macao, expanding available liquidity to support yuan-based settlement.
The larger swap line creates a structural tool for stabilizing cross-border trade, especially in regions adopting yuan for invoicing and clearing.
Early export data suggests China may have rebounded in November, despite ongoing tariff negotiations and geopolitical frictions.
Analysts view the move as another step toward regional financial integration, strengthening Asia’s internal settlement architecture and reducing dependency on U.S. dollar funding.
Why It Matters
Trade systems are fragmenting into regional blocs. Expanding yuan-swap networks signals China’s intention to build a parallel settlement system resilient to Western financial leverage—an essential layer of the global reset’s trade realignment.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Trade (Bloc-Based Settlement Infrastructure)
China continues constructing a yuan-anchored trade ecosystem, enabling partners to transact outside dollar-based platforms.
Pillar: Technology (New Clearing Mechanisms)
Swap lines lay the groundwork for future digital or blockchain-based yuan settlement networks as global payment rails bifurcate.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.
