Japan Lit the Fuse, the Yen Carry Trade Unwind will Crash the US Economy
Japan Lit the Fuse, the Yen Carry Trade Unwind will Crash the US Economy
Lena Petrova: 12-21-2025
In a significant move that is sending shockwaves across the globe, the Bank of Japan has raised its benchmark interest rate for the first time in three decades.
The 25 basis point increase to 0.75% may seem like a modest adjustment, but it marks a pivotal shift in the global financial landscape.
Japan Lit the Fuse, the Yen Carry Trade Unwind will Crash the US Economy
Lena Petrova: 12-21-2025
In a significant move that is sending shockwaves across the globe, the Bank of Japan has raised its benchmark interest rate for the first time in three decades.
The 25 basis point increase to 0.75% may seem like a modest adjustment, but it marks a pivotal shift in the global financial landscape.
As we explore in this blog post, this change signals the end of Japan’s ultra-low interest rate era and the beginning of a tightening cycle that is likely to have far-reaching consequences.
For nearly 30 years, Japan’s near-zero interest rates enabled the yen carry trade, a strategy where investors borrowed cheap yen to invest in higher-yielding assets worldwide. This fueled risk-taking and liquidity in global markets, as investors sought to capitalize on the interest rate differential.
However, with the Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates, the yen carry trade is now under threat. A strengthening yen and rising Japanese rates are making it more expensive to borrow yen, forcing investors to reassess their strategies.
The implications of this shift are complex and multifaceted. As Japan is the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury debt and holds trillions in overseas investments, the carry trade unwind could have significant repercussions for global markets, particularly in the United States.
Rising Japanese yields may prompt the repatriation of funds, creating ripple effects across global asset markets. This could lead to a decrease in liquidity, potentially destabilizing markets and impacting asset prices.
A stronger yen is also likely to pose challenges for Japanese exporters like Toyota and Sony, as their products become more expensive in international markets.
Moreover, emerging market currencies that benefited from yen-funded carry trades are already showing signs of stress. As the carry trade unwinds, these currencies may face further pressure, potentially leading to instability in emerging markets.
While this is not an immediate crisis, the Bank of Japan’s tightening marks a regime shift that could pose a greater threat to U.S. equities and global financial stability than Federal Reserve policy.
The scale and interconnectedness of Japan’s financial footprint make this a development that investors and observers cannot afford to ignore. As the carry trade unwinds and markets adjust to a new era of higher Japanese interest rates, it is essential to monitor the evolving situation closely.
In conclusion, the Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates is a significant turning point in the global financial landscape.
As the yen carry trade unwinds and markets adjust to a new reality, investors and observers must remain vigilant. To stay ahead of the curve, it is crucial to continue monitoring the situation and adjusting strategies accordingly.

On Saturday, President Abdul Latif Rashid called for proceeding with the formation of a government that represents all Iraqis.
Rashid said during the memorial ceremony held by the National Wisdom Movement in the capital, Baghdad, on the anniversary of the assassination of Muhammad Baqir al-Hakim, head of the Supreme Islamic Council in Iraq, which was followed by Shafaq News Agency, that “Iraq has overcome the difficult stages after years of violence and terrorism, and before that the period of tyranny, and today we have reached a state of security and stability, and everyone should work to maintain it.”
He added that "our people have completed successful parliamentary elections, through which they have demonstrated their commitment to the principles of democracy, while pivotal milestones for the formation of the legislative and executive authorities loom before everyone."

Clare: Chief Justice: The first session of the new parliament cannot be postponed or extended.

The head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, confirmed on Saturday that the first session of the new House of Representatives, scheduled for December 29, 2025, must decide on the appointment of the Speaker of the Council and his two deputies, and it is not permissible constitutionally or legally to postpone or extend it.
This came during a meeting between Faeq Zaidan, head of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan party, and Bafel Talabani, according to a statement from the Supreme Judicial Council.
The Judicial Council stated in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that "the meeting emphasized the importance of respecting the constitutional timelines for electing the three presidencies, in order to ensure the completion of the formation of the legislative and executive authorities."
Faiq Zaidan explained that "the first session of the new House of Representatives on December 29 must end with the appointment of the Speaker of the House and his two deputies, and it is not constitutionally or legally possible to postpone or extend it."
Zidan also stressed the importance of "deciding on the nomination of the candidate for the presidency of the republic within the constitutional period of thirty days after the election of the Speaker of Parliament on the 29th of this month."
The National Political Council, which includes the Sunni forces that won the elections, is witnessing rapid political activity to announce the nomination of a candidate for Speaker of Parliament, through meetings described as positive that discussed the files of the Parliament’s presidency and the rights of the Sunni component.
This comes in parallel with the moves of the Shiite Coordination Framework, which affirmed its commitment to the constitutional deadlines and to resolving the nomination of the Prime Minister within two weeks.
President Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid had set December 29 as the date for the first session of the Iraqi parliament. LINK

Clare: Warning against using it to address the financial deficit... Economic Observatory: Iraq's gold reserves at their highest levels
12/20/2025 Baghdad –
An economic observatory announced on Saturday that Iraq's gold reserves have reached a record high of approximately $23.064 billion, while simultaneously warning against using or disposing of them to address the country's financial deficit.
The observatory stated in a report that "Iraq purchased approximately 8.2 tons of gold during 2025, bringing the total reserve to 170.9 tons." The report further explained that "this increase was distributed as follows: one ton in March, 1.6 tons in June, 3.1 tons in July, and 2.5 tons in August."
The report indicated that "the total reserve of 170.9 tons is currently equivalent to $23.064 billion, the highest level of gold reserves in Iraq's history."
The observatory attributed "this significant increase to the rise in global gold prices, and not to the volume of purchases made during 2025," explaining that "recent purchases represent approximately 6.4% of the total reserves since the beginning of this year."
The observatory warned against "any manipulation or misuse of gold reserves to cover financial deficits, whether through selling a portion of them or investing them in high-risk ventures," emphasizing that "gold is a sovereign asset dedicated to supporting financial stability, not to generating immediate revenue."

Kurdistan Region oil will continue to flow as it is. Currently, exports have exceeded 200,000 barrels per day, and God willing, the quantity of exports will increase even more."
Regarding the duration of the agreement, he said: "The agreement was set for a period of three months and ends on December 31, but in accordance with the budget law and to ensure continuity, it will be renewed later until the problems are fully resolved."

Clare: First comment from the Sudanese regarding the dollar exchange rate
12/16/2025 - Baghdad
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani confirmed on Tuesday (December 16, 2025) that changing the dollar exchange rate falls within the exclusive powers of the Central Bank of Iraq.
In a televised interview followed by “Baghdad Today”, Al-Sudani said: “Changing the dollar exchange rate is the sole prerogative of the Central Bank of Iraq,” stressing that “the government has managed to reduce the gap in the exchange rate between the official and parallel rates,” indicating the government’s success in reducing the gap in the exchange rate.
Al-Sudani added: “We currently tend to maintain stability by fixing the exchange rate and not changing it from time to time to ensure market stability,” noting that “the government strongly supported correcting the conditions of private banks in order to bring them back into the market and to operate within international standards.” LINK

The couple living in Mercedes, Texas, decided in January to relocate to Tennessee for better work opportunities and a bigger apartment for their family. But bills, surprise expenses and the high cost of groceries have set them back over and over again.
“It’s been rough, honestly,” said Ruby Jumper, adding that the financial squeeze meant hard decisions this holiday season. "Usually they get three or four gifts," she said, speaking about her three children, ages 17, 11 and 8. "This year they're only going to get one."

*************************************
As the Jumpers stow away money when they can, they're closely watching one idea being floated in Washington: $2,000 rebate checks.
In recent months, President Donald Trump has repeatedly previewed the idea of a tariff dividend that would hand thousands of dollars to lower- and middle-income Americans, paid for by money brought in by his global import taxes.
The idea, which comes as polls show Americans increasingly souring on Trump's handling of the economy, faces longshot odds from bettors, logistical hurdles in Congress and angst from some economists.
Over the 2025 holiday season, USA TODAY Network journalists spoke with holiday shoppers across the country about the prospect of a tariff rebate in 2026 and what $2,000 would mean to them.
For many, the idea stirred thoughts of catching up – of paying bills, of regaining financial security they'd recently lost. Buying gifts, they said, was just another reminder that a dollar doesn't buy what it used to.
"Prices are just exorbitant," said Andrei Thies in Milwaukee, adding that she's buying fewer Christmas gifts than usual for her family.
"The cost of things is just insane."
Will Americans get $2,000 checks in 2026?
Trump has repeatedly floated the rebates as a way to put money in wallets at a time when Americans are struggling with years of cumulative inflation. But the idea, which hasn't been fleshed out into a detailed plan, faces an uncertain future.
Multiple independent reports have concluded that the money collected in tariff revenue won’t be enough to fund sweeping rebate checks.
The nonpartisan Tax Foundation, for example, said the checks would cost the government $279.8 billion to $606.8 billion, depending on who gets them. That’s more than the $158.4 billion the tariffs will generate in 2025, the nonprofit found.
Economists have also raised concerns that the tariff dividend could contribute to a rise in inflation, as the COVID stimulus checks did. And on Capitol Hill, the idea of rebate checks have been met with lukewarm responses, even from some Republicans.
“I think it’s an idea that needs to be fleshed out,” Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Montana, told Politico this month. “We’re $36, $37 trillion in debt. To me, I think our bus is full. If you want to add something, then take something off the bus. That’s just me.”
In a statement, White House spokesperson Kush Desai said, "The Administration is committed to putting the federal government’s historic tariff revenue to good use for the American people."

Trump Plans $2,000 Direct Payments to Americans Using Tariff Revenue Instead of Debt
Trump Plans $2,000 Direct Payments to Americans Using Tariff Revenue Instead of Debt
David Beren Sat, December 20, 2025
On November 9, 2025, President Trump proposed a new round of direct payments to all American taxpayers, similar to those made during COVID. However, this time these paychecks would be funded by tariff revenue, and the plan was for all qualifying Americans to receive $2,000, although high earners would not be eligible, a plan that immediately drew comparisons to pandemic paychecks in 2020 and 2021.
The political appeal of such a move is pretty obvious, as making a direct payment is easy for all Americans to understand. Better yet, a $2,000 check could immediately help middle- and lower-class households already struggling with rising costs across the board.
However, the COVID stimulus was a response to a sudden economic collapse, and this proposal would come at a time when the economy is stronger and unemployment, though rising, is still low.

From COVID Relief to Tariffs: The New $2,000 Stimulus Check Proposal
This $2,000 proposal is very similar to the scenario a few years ago, where you would look at qualifying taxpayers who might be eligible for the $2,000 payment. The exact amount would understandably vary based on both income and household size, while high earners, though it wasn't clear exactly what a high earner would be, would be excluded.
So far, this all seems comparable to the pandemic, but the big difference is how this program would be funded, as the COVID stimulus was deficit-financed, which meant the national debt increased without a specific revenue source to fund it. Alternatively, you would see this $2,000 payment be funded by import duties collected from goods entering the US from countries like China, across Europe, and other trading partners.
As far as the political side of this conversation, it's straightforward in that the Trump Administration can argue that other countries are paying for American stimulus through tariffs and turning trade policy directly into financial relief for hard-working families. This would reframe the conversation around tariffs from a potential economic drag to a benefit.
Speaking of benefits, a $2,000 check is no doubt going to provide relief by helping to pay off credit card debt, build savings, or fund a variety of spending options. If you are a family living paycheck to paycheck, this money can't arrive soon enough, and since it would show up as a direct payment, it would just show up one day.

The CBI is Reducing Circulation of the IQD
The CBI is Reducing Circulation of the IQD
Edu Matrix: 12-21-2025
In a significant development that underscores Iraq’s commitment to economic stability and long-term growth, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has reported a 5.5% decline in the Iraqi dinar currency supply during the third quarter of 2025.
This reduction, which brought the total currency in circulation down to approximately 99.68 trillion dinars (equivalent to about 76.1 billion US dollars), is being hailed as a positive signal for the Iraqi dinar’s future value and a promising indicator for investors holding IQD assets.

Edu Matrix: 12-21-2025
In a significant development that underscores Iraq’s commitment to economic stability and long-term growth, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has reported a 5.5% decline in the Iraqi dinar currency supply during the third quarter of 2025.
This reduction, which brought the total currency in circulation down to approximately 99.68 trillion dinars (equivalent to about 76.1 billion US dollars), is being hailed as a positive signal for the Iraqi dinar’s future value and a promising indicator for investors holding IQD assets.
At first glance, a contraction in currency supply might seem counterintuitive to growth. However, as experts analyze the implications of this move, it becomes clear that this deliberate action by the CBI is a strategic step towards strengthening the Iraqi economy.
The core rationale behind this decision is rooted in fundamental economic principles: reducing the money supply helps lower inflation and stabilize prices. These are key factors that international investors and financial institutions closely scrutinize when assessing the strength and potential of a currency.
Iraq’s decision to tighten its monetary supply is a clear indication of serious long-term economic planning rather than a short-term political maneuver or speculative hype.
By making the Iraqi dinar scarcer, Iraq is effectively increasing its value potential. This move aligns Iraq’s currency management with best financial practices observed in stable economies such as the US, Eurozone, and UK, where controlling inflation and maintaining currency stability are paramount.
The implications of this development are multifaceted. Firstly, it signifies that Iraq is on the right path to rebuilding its currency’s foundation, a crucial step towards sustainable appreciation and economic stability.
While immediate gains for investors should not be expected, the disciplined monetary approach adopted by the CBI lays the groundwork for the dinar’s eventual revaluation and increased credibility on global markets.
For investors holding IQD assets, this news is particularly significant. It indicates a potential for long-term growth and stability, factors that are essential for informed investment decisions.
The reduction in currency supply, while not an immediate catalyst for rapid appreciation, is a foundational step towards creating a more stable and attractive investment environment.
In conclusion, the CBI’s decision to reduce the Iraqi dinar currency supply is a strategic move that underscores Iraq’s commitment to economic reform and stability.
As the country continues on this path, aligning its monetary policies with international best practices, the potential for the Iraqi dinar to gain strength and credibility on the global stage increases.

Sat. 20 Dec. 2025: BREAKING TIER 4B SIGNALS EMERGE AS EXCHANGE ACTIVITY QUIETLY BUILDS …Ariel on Telegram
Reports are rapidly circulating that Tier 4B currency exchanges may be quietly moving into an active phase across the United States.
Holders of the Iraqi dinar and Vietnamese dong are describing unusual activity inside banks and exchange locations, including private appointment scheduling, brief flashes of live rates on internal terminals, and the sudden introduction of NDA protocols. While no official confirmation has been issued, the consistency of these reports is drawing serious attention.
What separates this moment from past rumor cycles is pattern alignment. Independent sources, unknown to each other and operating in different regions, are reporting the same developments at the same time.
Banks are allegedly preparing private exchanges, redemption centers are said to be on operational alert, and internal systems appear to be recalibrating. This convergence suggests preparation, not coincidence.
Multiple accounts claim participants are being asked to sign strict non disclosure agreements before proceeding. That level of confidentiality would be expected in a sensitive, high impact financial event designed to remain invisible to the public until stability is ensured.
Insiders emphasize that any rollout would be tightly controlled and deliberately quiet.
Additional reports point to redemption centers receiving readiness briefings and internal confirmations.
Temporary rate placeholders and short lived rate flashes inside banking systems are being interpreted as test integrations or dry runs. These signs indicate infrastructure testing rather than a public launch, consistent with a phased deployment model.
Financial observers believe any exchange process would unfold in controlled waves, starting with small groups to avoid disrupting markets. Behind the scenes, test transactions and authentication procedures are reportedly underway, including advanced scanning tools to verify currency legitimacy and prevent fraud.
Caution remains essential. Without official statements or verifiable public data, these developments remain unconfirmed. Skepticism is healthy in this space.
Still, for long time holders watching closely, the alignment of signals, timing, and preparation suggests something is moving. Quietly. Deliberately. And closer than before.

Bill Holter returns to Liberty and Finance for a wide ranging 2025 year in review and a sobering look ahead to 2026, covering debt expansion, credit market risks, and the accelerating breakdown of confidence in fiat currencies.
Known as Mr. Gold, Holter explains why gold and silver were among the top performers of 2025 and why he believes the transition from paper markets to physical, cash based markets is now well underway.
He details the implications of global backwardation, shrinking exchange inventories, and why a failure to deliver could permanently shatter confidence in futures markets like COMEX and LBMA.
Holter also addresses unusually low premiums in pre-33 gold and constitutional silver, warning viewers about predatory pricing while outlining why these assets may prove especially valuable in times of financial stress.
Finally, he shares his outlook for 2026, cautioning that an unwind of the credit markets could mark a decisive and volatile phase in the ongoing monetary reset.

Our mission here is different:

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.
You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

How a Currency Really Revalues — The Structure Behind the Shift
Why monetary change follows infrastructure, not speculation
Overview
Currency revaluation is a legal and structural process, not a market event driven by hype or rumors.
Central banks must first establish authority, infrastructure, and asset backing before any meaningful value change occurs.
Markets respond last, once systems, policy, and settlement mechanisms are fully aligned.
Key Developments
Legal authority is foundational, requiring central banks to maintain clear control over monetary policy and exchange-rate regimes.
Modern settlement infrastructure is mandatory, including real-time gross settlement systems and cross-border messaging networks.
Reserves and assets underpin stability, with foreign exchange reserves, gold, commodities, and trade flows supporting any new valuation.
Market structures are adjusted gradually, using managed pegs, controlled floats, or phased liberalization to prevent shock.
Policy signaling precedes price movement, ensuring markets react only after structural readiness is complete.
Why It Matters
Understanding how currencies truly revalue separates systemic reality from speculative narratives. Monetary value changes only after legal authority, settlement capability, asset backing, and market structure are aligned — reinforcing that sustainable currency shifts are engineered processes, not spontaneous events.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Foreign currency holders who understand structural sequencing are better positioned to recognize real monetary change versus noise. Value shifts occur after infrastructure and policy alignment, meaning informed holders can distinguish genuine transitions from premature market speculation.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Monetary Infrastructure First
Settlement systems, legal frameworks, and reserves must be established before any currency value adjustment.Pillar: Controlled Market Transition
Gradual structural alignment prevents volatility while enabling long-term monetary realignment.
This is not just theory — it’s how currencies change value in the real system.

Foundation Before Revaluation: Why Structure Comes First
Silence signals system readiness — not delay
Overview
Currency revaluation cannot occur without legal, technical, and financial foundations fully resolved.
Unresolved ownership claims, broken settlement rails, or unclear authority prevent value movement.
Periods of silence often reflect intensive behind-the-scenes alignment, not inactivity.
Key Developments
Legal and trust frameworks are being finalized, clarifying ownership of land, water, minerals, and sovereign assets.
Legacy payment systems are being replaced, as digital settlement infrastructure undergoes ISO 20022 migration and cross-border testing.
National balance sheets are being restructured, including debt recalibration, asset valuation, and reserve realignment.
Jurisdictional authority is being clarified, ensuring lawful control over monetary policy before repricing occurs.
Compliance and verification processes are advancing quietly, reinforcing systemic credibility ahead of any value adjustment.
Why It Matters
Currency value cannot move on unstable ground. Repricing without verified assets, compliant settlement systems, and clear legal authority would invite systemic risk and loss of confidence. History shows that durable monetary change only follows complete structural readiness.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
For currency holders, understanding sequence is protection. Revaluation is the final step — not the beginning. Signals of real progress include trust settlements, asset verification, ISO upgrades, and payment system testing. Recognizing these markers helps distinguish real preparation from speculation.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Structural Integrity First
Legal clarity, asset verification, and settlement reliability must precede any currency adjustment.Pillar: Quiet Completion
The reset advances through compliance and coordination, not public announcements or speculative timelines.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

True monetary readiness shows up in systems, not headlines, and is visible only after foundational work is complete.
Technical, legal, and settlement signals emerge quietly once alignment reaches final stages.
Markets react last, after readiness is verified and operational.
Key Developments
Payment systems complete ISO 20022 migrations, enabling structured data, compliance controls, and cross-border interoperability.
RTGS and cross-border settlement testing concludes, confirming real-time clearing and liquidity management.
Central banks finalize reserve positioning, balancing gold, FX, commodities, and trade-backed assets.
Legal authority and jurisdictional clarity are publicly affirmed, removing ambiguity over monetary control.
Trusts, asset registries, and custodial frameworks are validated, enabling tokenization and transparent ownership.
Quiet coordination replaces public messaging, signaling that implementation—not debate—is underway.
Why It Matters
Readiness is not announced—it is observed. When systems are fully aligned, risk is minimized and confidence is restored. These signals confirm that monetary architecture is capable of supporting value at a new level without disruption, speculation, or systemic shock.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Currency holders who understand readiness markers avoid emotional decision-making. Operational signals—such as settlement readiness, asset verification, and reserve alignment—indicate proximity to real change. Awareness protects against misinformation and premature expectations.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Operational Completion
Functional settlement, verified assets, and compliant systems confirm that preparation has moved from planning to execution.Pillar: Market Confidence Restoration
Silent readiness stabilizes expectations and ensures value movement occurs smoothly once triggered.
This is not speculation — it’s how readiness reveals itself in the real system.

What Triggers the Final Shift: When Systems Move From Ready to Live
The precise moment structure becomes value
Overview
The final monetary shift is triggered by system activation, not announcements.
Once global payment infrastructure, legal authority, and reserves are synchronized, execution follows quietly.
Markets respond only after systems are live, compliant, and irreversible.
Key Developments
Global payment systems complete ISO 20022 migration milestones, enabling full interoperability, compliance messaging, and structured data exchange.
RTGS systems move from parallel testing to live-only operation, signaling readiness for real-time settlement at scale.
Cross-border corridors activate synchronized settlement windows, reducing FX risk and settlement delays.
Central banks finalize reserve and liquidity positioning, ensuring balance sheets can support adjusted valuations.
Policy frameworks shift from guidance to execution, allowing settlement, pricing, and valuation mechanisms to function without intervention.
Legacy support systems are retired, confirming that rollback is no longer required.
Why It Matters
The final shift occurs when systems no longer need supervision or explanation. Once payment rails, legal authority, and reserves are aligned and operational, value can move safely. This protects markets from shock, preserves confidence, and ensures stability during transition.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
For currency holders, the trigger is not news—it is confirmation. Live settlement, completed migrations, and operational silence indicate that the system is executing as designed. Those watching infrastructure rather than headlines recognize real change when it happens.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Execution Over Announcement
The reset finalizes through system activation, not public declarations or speculative timelines.Pillar: Irreversible Infrastructure
Once global payment rails are live and legacy systems are retired, monetary structure becomes permanent.
This is not a prediction — it’s how the final shift is triggered in the real financial system.

The Difference Between Ready and Irreversible
Why global systems wait to lock execution until rollback is impossible
Overview
Ready means infrastructure, regulations, and reserves are prepared but still reversible.
Irreversible begins only when legacy systems are retired and live execution is exclusive.
Markets do not react to readiness; they react to lock-in.
Key Developments
ISO 20022 migrations reach operational readiness, but global systems still allow limited fallback paths.
RTGS platforms operate in real time, yet some jurisdictions maintain parallel contingency modes.
Cross-border settlement corridors exist, though not all are synchronized into unified execution windows.
Regulatory frameworks are written and aligned, but final legal clarity in key jurisdictions remains pending.
Central bank reserves are positioned, without being forced into live deployment.
Legacy systems remain on standby, preserving reversibility.
Why It Matters
Readiness signals preparation; irreversibility signals commitment. Financial systems only reprice when rollback is no longer supported. Until execution becomes exclusive—without exemptions, extensions, or explanations—markets remain anchored to the old framework. The final shift occurs when structure, law, and liquidity move together with no safety net.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Foreign currency holders are not waiting for headlines—they are watching for permanence. Live-only settlement, retired legacy rails, and legal authority that no longer requires interpretation are the true indicators. Value adjusts when systems must operate forward, not when they can.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Exclusivity of Execution
The reset locks when new systems are the only systems permitted to function.
Pillar: Removal of Rollback
Irreversibility is achieved when legacy support is formally retired and cannot be reinstated.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Tishwash: Savaya travels to Baghdad to discuss the nature of the relationship between Washington and Baghdad in the next phase.
An informed government source revealed on Sunday that the US President’s envoy, Mark Savaya, will soon visit Baghdad at the head of a delegation from the US administration to discuss a number of issues related to the nature of the relationship between Washington and Baghdad in the next stage, as well as to discuss solutions to the crises.
The source told Shafaq News Agency that “US envoy Mark Savaya, accompanied by a number of US officials, will visit Baghdad soon to meet with a number of officials in the Iraqi government and various political leaders, to discuss important issues concerning developments in the Middle East and its stability, in addition to economic dealings and partnerships, US investment, and the priorities of the stage, most notably the political and security files for Iraq and the region in general.”
He added that "the delegation will also discuss mechanisms to expand the scope of partnership and political consensus regarding some visions concerning the regional situation, and proposals for solutions to address crises and challenges," indicating that "Safaya will carry with him American messages to the Iraqi forces, including the results of work on some issues and files agreed upon between Baghdad and Washington, and the upcoming visions for formulating a real partnership, specifically regarding the withdrawal of American forces according to the specified timetables, in addition to how to deal with the next stage based on the security partnership and arming the Iraqi forces, and the armament plans."
Last October, US President Donald Trump decided to appoint Mark Savaya as special envoy to Iraq .
Mark Savaya is the third US envoy to Iraq since Paul Bremer in 2003, and after Brett McGurk, during the war against ISIS in 2014.
Savaya has stirred controversy through his recent writings, in which he explicitly called for an end to the armed factions and for them to be prevented from participating in the government, as well as issuing warnings to Iraq and cautioning against a return to a "cycle of complications".
Yesterday, Saturday, some armed factions announced their agreement to the call to restrict weapons to the state, and official positions were issued by the Secretary-General of the Imam Ali Brigades, Shibl al-Zaidi, followed by a call from the Secretary-General of the Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq Movement, Qais al-Khazali, as well as the Ansar Allah al-Awfiya faction, in addition to the spokesman for the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades.
The head of Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, announced yesterday that armed factions had responded to the call to restrict weapons to the state.
However, Kataib Hezbollah issued a statement rejecting its "disarmament" and affirming that "sovereignty, controlling the security of Iraq, and preventing foreign interference in all its forms are prerequisites for discussing the state's monopoly on weapons. We affirm that our position is consistent with what our religious authorities have stated, whenever that is achieved link

Tishwash: After the prime minister's name was decided, the coordination framework moved to negotiating the government program.
Non-controversial
The atmosphere of the movement within the Coordination Framework, the broader umbrella for Shiite political forces in Parliament, is moving towards a crucial stage, the title of which is agreeing on a name and program for the next Prime Minister
In an attempt to produce a candidate who can manage the next stage and open the door to understanding with the rest of the political forces within the framework of constitutional entitlements and political calming, which seems to have decided on the name of the Prime Minister internally, to move practically to negotiating the government program and its priorities before the official announcement of the candidate.
Salam Al-Zubaidi, a member of the Coordination Framework, confirmed to Baghdad Today that “the intensive meetings and gatherings held by the Framework’s forces are witnessing remarkable progress in viewpoints, and there is a broad understanding on the need to choose a figure capable of managing the next stage efficiently and achieving political and service stability, while taking into account the country’s supreme interest.”
Al-Zubaidi explained that "the discussions are not limited to names only, but also include the government program and executive work priorities, foremost among them improving the economic situation, supporting security and stability, and enhancing public confidence in official institutions, and agreement on these files is proceeding in parallel with the naming file."
According to political data obtained by "Baghdad Today," most of the figures close to the coordinating framework, who appear on political programs on television, confirm in their talks that "the decision has already been made," and that the candidate is a figure from the Middle Euphrates region, a graduate of Baghdad University, and does not provoke a sharp dispute among the main Shiite forces.
These data indicate that the current discussion is focused on the details of the government program, which was likely formulated primarily in agreement with the candidate himself, and that the ongoing dialogues aim to incorporate the observations of the various forces before announcing the final version.
Al-Zubaidi added that "the positive atmosphere prevailing in the dialogues reflects the keenness of all parties to avoid disputes and move towards a genuine consensus that leads to the formation of a strong government capable of facing internal and external challenges, and the next few days may witness an official announcement of the name of the candidate for the premiership."
The member of the coordinating framework concluded by saying that "the current stage requires calming down and clearly prioritizing the logic of dialogue and understanding, and the framework is proceeding with completing the constitutional entitlements in accordance with the legal contexts and in a way that fulfills the aspirations of the citizens."
Three key factional figures broke the scene in the past few hours with similar statements, in which they expressed their readiness to hand over weapons and confine them to the hands of the state, in a move that is read - according to political sources - as one of the signs of paving the way for the new political stage, and an early message of support for the next government and its supposed security program.
The political arena is witnessing intense activity to resolve the issue of forming the new government, amid popular anticipation of the process of choosing the next Prime Minister, and whether he will be able to manage the economic and service crises and reduce the severity of political tension, after previous government experiences marred by disputes and the failure to implement reform programs. link

Can Tokenization Save the Financial System Before it Breaks?
Can Tokenization Save the Financial System Before it Breaks?
Miles Harris: 12-19-2025
The global financial system is facing a mounting stress test, with many experts attributing the turmoil to a debt crisis.
However, a recent video by Miles Harris presents a contrarian view, arguing that the root cause of the problem lies not in debt, but in a shortage of usable collateral.
In this blog post, we’ll dive into the video’s key insights and explore the implications of a collateral-driven financial system.
Can Tokenization Save the Financial System Before it Breaks?
Miles Harris: 12-19-2025
The global financial system is facing a mounting stress test, with many experts attributing the turmoil to a debt crisis.
However, a recent video by Miles Harris presents a contrarian view, arguing that the root cause of the problem lies not in debt, but in a shortage of usable collateral.
In this blog post, we’ll dive into the video’s key insights and explore the implications of a collateral-driven financial system.
Modern finance relies heavily on collateralized balance sheets, repo markets, securities lending, derivatives margining, and wholesale funding.
All these mechanisms require widely accepted, transparently priced, and mobile collateral to function effectively. When collateral circulation falters, lending capacity contracts sharply, causing recurring stress in short-term funding markets. In other words, the smooth functioning of the financial system depends on the availability of high-quality collateral.
Since the 2008 financial crisis, government debt has been the primary form of universal collateral. However, this is proving insufficient due to banks’ balance sheet constraints, regulatory rules, and interest rate risks.
The recent stalling of quantitative tightening (QT) by the Federal Reserve is a case in point. Rather than being a failure of monetary policy, the Fed’s decision to purchase short-term debt is a response to collateral scarcity, aimed at maintaining liquidity and preventing short-term funding markets from seizing up.
The video highlights a global movement towards a unified digital ledger system, promoted by central banks and international organizations like the BIS.
This system would consolidate records of money and financial assets onto shared digital rails, increasing transparency of asset ownership, collateral pledging, and usage.
Tokenization, the process of converting real-world assets into standardized digital claims, is a critical innovation that could unlock vast pools of currently illiquid assets, like real estate, for lending.
The European Commission’s recent policy moves, such as build-to-rent housing schemes, are practical examples of expanding collateral bases through tokenization-friendly assets.
Infrastructure providers like the DTCC are already engaging with tokenized collateral frameworks, signaling that the transition is not theoretical but an active redesign of financial plumbing.
While the new system is not yet ready, policymakers must rely on temporary bridges like balance sheet expansions, liquidity facilities, and regulatory flexibility to keep the system afloat in the short term.
The success of tokenization and unified ledgers depends heavily on timing; premature tightening risks systemic shocks, while delayed implementation prolongs fragility.
Understanding the dynamics of a collateral-driven financial system is crucial for preserving and growing wealth in the coming years.
Those who anticipate and adapt to the transition towards a tokenized, unified ledger-based financial system will be better positioned to navigate future crises and opportunities.
In conclusion, the video by Miles Harris offers a compelling narrative that challenges the conventional wisdom on global financial stress.
By recognizing the critical role of collateral in modern finance and the limitations of government debt as collateral, we can better understand the underlying drivers of financial stress. As the world moves towards a tokenized and unified ledger-based financial system, it’s essential to stay informed and adapt to the changing landscape.
Why Power Decentralization and Monetary Sovereignty are Prudent, Valuable, and De-Risking

Rob Cunningham: Why Power Decentralization and Monetary Sovereignty are Prudent, Valuable, and De-Risking
12-19-2025
Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show @KuwlShow
XRPL Design: 100% Biblical Protocol
Why Power Decentralization & Monetary Sovereignty Are Prudent, Valuable, and De-Risking
1. Proximity to Creation Increases Truth
Wealth is not printed—it is created through human creativity, labor, risk, stewardship, and exchange.
When monetary authority is closest to:
producers,
builders,
innovators,
families and communities,
…it remains anchored to reality.
Distance from the source of value invites:
abstraction,
opacity,
narrative manipulation,
and eventually fraud.
“A false balance is abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.” – Proverbs 11:1
Decentralization restores just weights and measures.
2. Centralization Concentrates Risk; Decentralization Distributes It
Centralized monetary systems create:
single points of failure,
moral hazard,
“too big to fail” extortion,
and systemic fragility disguised as sophistication.
Decentralized systems:
compartmentalize failure,
localize consequences,
prevent cascading collapse,
and reward prudence over leverage.
This is not theory – it is risk engineering 101.
Nature itself decentralizes:
ecosystems,
nervous systems,
supply chains,
energy flows.
Centralized control violates the design pattern of Creation.
3. Sovereignty Restores Consent
All legitimate authority – spiritual, legal, or economic – requires free will and mutual consent.
Centralized monetary regimes rely on:
coercion,
debt
inflationary theft,
regulatory capture,
and narrative intimidation.
Decentralized monetary authority restores:
voluntary exchange,
transparent rules,
auditable truth,
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” – John 8:32
Truth cannot survive inside systems that require secrecy to function.
4. Extraction Models Depend on Deception
Wealth extraction at scale requires:
complexity that obscures accountability,
intermediaries with asymmetric information,
experts who claim exclusive understanding,
and fear-based compliance.
This is why centralized financial systems:
resist transparency,
punish disintermediation,
demonize sovereignty,
and attack decentralization as “dangerous.”
Decentralization is dangerous – to parasites.
5. Decentralization Aligns Incentives with Stewardship
When authority is localized:
decision-makers bear consequences,
rewards follow contribution,
long-term thinking replaces quarterly looting.
Centralized regimes reward:
short-term extraction,
leverage without responsibility,
socialized losses,
privatized gains.
That is not capitalism.
That is institutionalized theft with paperwork.
6. Geopolitical Control Requires Monetary Centralization
Empires are built on:
currency control,
debt dominance,
trade settlement coercion,
and reserve privilege.
Decentralized monetary sovereignty:
dissolves financial imperialism,
neutralizes sanction warfare,
reduces incentive for kinetic conflict,
restores peaceful trade.
Peace is not enforced by force.
Peace emerges when economic injustice loses leverage
7. De-Risking Humanity Itself
Centralized monetary power has historically produced:
mass poverty cycles,
boom-bust instability,
wars,
famines,
societal collapse.
Decentralization:
increases resilience,
empowers families and communities,
restores dignity,
and limits the blast radius of bad actors.
This is not anti-expert.
It is anti-unaccountable authority.
Bottom Line (Plain Truth)
Centralized monetary power:
concentrates control,
magnifies deception,
extracts wealth,
and enslaves through debt.
Decentralized monetary sovereignty:
restores consent,
distributes risk,
aligns with creation,
and honors human dignity.
God decentralized authority.
Tyrants centralize it.
History records the outcome every time.
This is not rebellion.
It is restoration.
