“Tidbits From TNT” Saturday 2-28-2026

TNT:

Phantom809: Israel and the U.S. have launched strikes against Iran, with explosions reported in Tehran and air raid sirens sounding across Israel.

AP TEL AVIV — The U.S. and Israel have launched strikes against Iran with the goal of toppling the regime, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday.

Iran retaliated by launching missiles at Israel and a U.S. naval base in Bahrain. An Iranian official said all Israeli and U.S. interests in the region were now considered legitimate targets.

The joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran comes after weeks of escalating tensions and a major U.S. military buildup in the region, as the U.S. and Iran tried to negotiate a deal to limit Iran's nuclear program. Trump said those efforts had failed.

"Bombs will be dropping everywhere," President Trump said, addressing Iranians in a video posted to his Truth Social account. "When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be, probably, your only chance for generations."

The Israeli military said in a statement its fighter jets were striking "dozens of military targets" in Iran with "full synchronization and coordination" between the Israeli and U.S. militaries following months of joint planning.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the goal of the joint U.S.-Israeli attack is to "remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran."

"Our joint action will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands," Netanyahu said in a video.

A person briefed on the operation told NPR it was expected to last a few days, with Israel's military focusing on targeting Iran's missile program.

"We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground," Trump said.

Israel has closed its airspace to all passenger flights, and civil defense protocols have been activated. Regional military forces remain on high alert.

A 48-hour state of emergency has been declared nationwide. Air raid sirens have been sounding across Israel, with authorities warning civilians to enter bomb shelters.

Trails of smoke streaked the sky above Tel Aviv as Israeli interception systems fired at incoming missiles. A hospital in central Israel began moving operations to an underground fortified compound.

"Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people. It's menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas and our allies throughout the world," Trump said.

Trump said the U.S. had "sought repeatedly to make a deal" but Iran "rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions."

Trump told the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps to "lay down your arms… or you will face certain death."

Iranian government media reported rocket fire in parts of the capital, Tehran. State television has broadcast footage showing smoke rising after a blast in the city. The extent of the damage and potential casualties has not yet been confirmed.

The strike follows weeks of speculation about potential military action against Iran, particularly amid a significant U.S. military buildup in the Middle East.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Tishwash: Trump: I get along well with Iraqi leaders

US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he gets on very well with Iraqi leaders.

In Baghdad, US envoy Tom Barrack held a series of meetings with senior officials to resolve the political deadlock in the country.

Trump said, “I get along very well with the Iraqi leadership,” indicating that there is good understanding and coordination between the two sides.

A source within the coordination framework revealed an American warning related to Iraqi political entitlements. The source stated that the American envoy, Tom Barrack, informed the Iraqi Prime Minister that Washington might impose sanctions if Nouri al-Maliki were nominated for a high political position.

The source indicated that the potential US sanctions on Iraq may be announced in the middle of next week, and will initially target figures loyal to Iran, before later including leaders in the coordination framework.

Al-Ahd TV, the mouthpiece of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, which opposes Maliki’s nomination for prime minister, quoted a source as saying: “Barak informed Maliki that America does not object to him assuming any position other than the prime ministership.”  link

Tishwash: Two crucial messages for Maliki... "The Hour" reveals Washington's message

 In recent hours, the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, witnessed two important meetings between the US envoy to Iraq, Tom Barak , and outgoing Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Nouri al-Maliki, leader of the State of Law Coalition and candidate of the Coordination Framework for the next government .

The importance of the two meetings stems from the fact that they form the basis for determining the shape of the next government, the course of the political process, and the relationship between Baghdad and Washington, in light of the American rejection of al-Maliki’s nomination for the premiership and the latter’s insistence on adhering to this nomination, as the United States had previously threatened to impose sanctions on Iraq if al-Maliki assumed the position .

A statement from the Iraqi Prime Minister's office said that "Barak conveyed to Al-Sudani the viewpoint of US President Donald Trump, his vision of the current situation in the region, and Iraq's pivotal role in building stability and promoting regional development . "

The statement, which was received by Al-Sa’a Network, explained that “Al-Sudani indicated that the Iraqi leadership is committed to prioritizing the national interest and making efforts to protect the interests of the Iraqi people,” noting that “Iraq’s sovereignty and stability in various fields are not merely local considerations.”

The media office of Nouri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law Coalition, confirmed in a statement that he received the American envoy and that they discussed developments in the political scene in Iraq and upcoming national obligations .

During the meeting, according to a statement from his office, Maliki stressed "the need to respect Iraq's sovereignty and the choices of its people," pointing to "the importance of supporting the democratic process and strengthening political stability," and noting "the importance of continued communication and coordination between the two sides on issues of common interest."

The content of the two American messages to Maliki

However, political sources within the coordination framework revealed the content of the two meetings, in a manner that differs radically from the official statements issued by the offices of Al-Sudani and Al-Maliki. According to these sources, the American envoy informed Al-Sudani that Washington would impose sanctions if Al-Maliki were nominated for the premiership .

The most important content came during the meeting between Barak and Maliki, where the American envoy handed Maliki two messages, one written and the other oral, stating that Maliki would not be the head of the next government in Iraq, otherwise American sanctions would be imposed on institutions, entities and individuals in Iraq .

Al-Sa’a Network obtained the contents of the two American messages addressed to Nouri al-Maliki and the coordination framework. The written message that Barak conveyed to al-Maliki from US President Donald Trump included the following :

" The United States recognizes and appreciates your experience, wisdom, and vision, which are of paramount importance not only to the political development in Iraq but also to the broader stability of the region. It is in this spirit that we seek constructive engagement, within the framework of specific considerations, to ensure the formation of the next Iraqi government. Trump's stance toward Maliki and the prime ministerial candidate is not based on personalities but on principle. Trump is focused on a new Middle East that turns the page on the past, one in which Iraq serves as an inspiration both domestically and internationally, and in which it strengthens its partnership with the United States. In this context, we must be direct and clear: the formation of the new government must reflect balance, inclusivity, and momentum toward the future.

This requires your (Maliki's) public and official withdrawal from the premiership. This step is essential for a viable political consensus and a move toward restoring international confidence at a pivotal moment in the future of Iraq and the region.

We believe your (Maliki's) voice will be valuable in selecting the next prime ministerial candidate. However, we must also be clear: failure to cooperate in facilitating this transition and forming the government as Washington sees fit will have consequences, and the United States will impose sanctions." Measures were taken against a number of Iraqi government institutions, as well as bodies, individuals and entities in Iraq .

As for the verbal message that Barak conveyed to Maliki, it included, according to informed political sources, that “Iraq has become completely subservient to Iran in recent years, and that the pro-Iranian militias in Iraq are the ones who control and lead the scene in Iraq, and that the United States spent billions of dollars on Iraq without gaining anything, and in return, Iran took control of it. Therefore, we will give you (Maliki) the option and opportunity for you and your team to participate in choosing the next prime minister and to have a role in Iraqi political life in the next stage, and you can be officially invited to the United States, but all of this is after you officially and publicly withdraw from the nomination for the position of prime minister of the next government.”

Sources confirmed that the US sanctions could be announced in the middle of next week, and will include pro-Iran figures, then leaders in the coordination framework, and possibly Maliki , all if the latter does not give up his candidacy for the next government .

American messages combine persuasion and intimidation

Regarding the American messages to Maliki, Essam Al-Faily, a professor of political science at Al-Mustansiriya University, confirmed that the American message of rejection of Maliki assuming the premiership is clear through the leaks of what was said in the meeting that brought the latter together with the American envoy .

Al-Faily told Al-Sa’a Network: “The American message is clear and combines enticement and intimidation, as Washington confirmed that Maliki is an unwelcome figure in the position of Prime Minister, but at the same time the United States appreciates Maliki’s role and left him the important role in choosing the candidate for the premiership after he withdrew his candidacy and stipulated that his candidate be far from the Iranian axis . ”

He added that "the American message confirms that Washington does not want figures close to Iran, based on its vision for the region and the new Middle East, as it is working to limit Iranian influence in Iraq by preventing Maliki from assuming the premiership on the one hand, and preventing any other figure close to the Iranian axis from assuming this position . "

Al-Faily pointed out that “Washington is very frank and serious about dealing with the same way it dealt with Maliki, as it will take the same position with any figure close to Iran in Iraq, and this necessitates that Iraqi politicians understand this American vision in dealing with the Iraqi and Iranian file during the next stage.”

Former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki expressed his rejection of what he described as blatant American interference in Iraq’s internal affairs, considering it a violation of the country’s sovereignty, in response to US President Donald Trump’s warning against Maliki’s return to the premiership .

This was preceded by the announcement of the Coordination Framework nominating Maliki for the premiership, in light of the results of the parliamentary elections in November 2025. However, Trump warned at the time that he would stop his country’s support for Iraq if Maliki assumed the position of Prime Minister .

Is there a time limit for the sanctions?

Regarding the existence of a time limit for imposing American sanctions on Iraq, researcher and political analyst Ayed Al-Hilali said, “In light of the meeting that took place today between Tom Barrack and Nouri Al-Maliki, questions are escalating in political circles about the nature of the messages that the meeting carried, and whether it reflects a decisive American position rejecting Al-Maliki’s nomination for the premiership, in addition to what is being rumored about the existence of a time limit ending on Monday to resolve this issue . ”

Al-Hilali added in a statement to Al-Sa’a Network: “The available data indicates that the meeting falls within the framework of normal diplomatic communication between Washington and the influential Iraqi political forces, especially in light of the political deadlock and internal complexities in which regional and international considerations are intertwined.”

He explained that the United States views the formation of the Iraqi government from the perspective of stability and ensuring that the country does not slide into new conflicts or sharp alignments that affect its strategic balances. Therefore, any messages conveyed during these meetings often relate to the specifications of the next stage and the form of the government, more than to an official declaration of rejection of a specific person.

Al-Hilali continued: “Regarding what is being circulated about a deadline ending on Monday, no official Iraqi body has yet announced a binding constitutional deadline at this time,” stressing that “the constitution does not stipulate a time limit for nominating a specific person outside the general frameworks for assigning the largest bloc, and therefore, talk of a deadline seems closer to political pressure or indirect messages aimed at accelerating understandings between the different forces, and not an official decision announced with a final date.”

Al-Hilali pointed out that “according to the political assessment, there may be American signals about the need to expedite the resolution to avoid further complications, but the final decision remains an internal Iraqi one, governed by the balance of power and understandings between the blocs. Therefore, the meeting and talk about the deadline reflect the level of sensitivity surrounding the stage, more than they indicate a decisive international decision that has been officially announced  link

Frank26: "1 OUT OF 3... AS WE PREDICTED"......F26

An American institute: Washington does not object to al-Sudani remaining for a second term and believes that he gives Iraq a chance for a reasonable balance.

2/25/2026   Baghdad – One News

The American “Pro Kings Center” revealed that the Trump administration sees the rise of Maliki as a threat to its strategy in Iraq, especially with the growing concern about the influence of armed factions and their regional intersections, which makes American pressure likely to escalate if the dispute deepens.

The institute indicated in its report that Washington does not object to al-Sudani remaining for a second term, and believes that he gives Iraq an opportunity for a reasonable balance between the United States and Iran.

However, its problem is not with a specific name, but rather it is an explicit rejection of al-Maliki’s return, which seems to be an unchangeable message, no matter what assurances the latter provides.

The American center added that this scenario presents two bitter choices: either insisting on Maliki, which entails a political and economic confrontation with Washington, or sacrificing him, which carries the potential for an internal rift that could reshape the Shiite alliances map for years to come.   LINK

Frank26:  "IRAQ'S OIL BEYOND ITS BORDERS"......F26

Nasif: Iraq now possesses huge offshore oil fields after the borders were established.

2/25/2026

Iraqi parliament member Alia Nassif confirmed on Wednesday that there are a number of oil fields, in addition to the “Dhurra” gas field, that contain large reserves and are located deep in the sea, and Iraq has not benefited from them previously due to border disputes with the Kuwaiti side.

Nasif told Shafaq News Agency that depositing the maps with the United Nations and establishing the borders made Iraq own these fields, which allows it to contract with international companies to extract oil and gas from the fields located in the sea waters.

Nasif, a member of the Reconstruction and Development bloc, added that contracting with international companies in the offshore oil and gas fields will contribute to boosting the country’s oil production and adding financial returns estimated at millions of dollars.

Yesterday, the head of the bloc, Bahaa al-Araji, considered that Iraq had become a Gulf state "practically" after depositing the country's maritime maps with the United Nations.

Days ago, Iraq deposited a complete map of its maritime zones with precise coordinates with the United Nations, in a move aimed at strengthening its maritime rights and bolstering its negotiating position on issues related to maritime borders, according to what the Director General of the General Company for Iraqi Ports, Farhan Al-Fartousi, told Shafaq News Agency.

The 2012 Agreement on Navigation in Khor Abdullah between Iraq and Kuwait is a technical and administrative remedy for the effects of the former regime’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and the resulting demarcation of borders under Security Council Resolution No. (833) of 1993. Article Six of the Agreement affirmed that it “does not affect the borders between the two parties in Khor Abdullah established under Security Council Resolution No. (833) of 1993.”

The Iraqi Council of Ministers approved the draft ratification law at the end of 2012, and the House of Representatives approved it by a simple majority under Law No. (42) of 2013, and it was published in the Iraqi Gazette in issue (4299) dated 11/25/2013.

The Federal Court also issued its decision No. (21/Federal/2014) dated 12/18/2014, as it distinguished between the law regulating the process of ratifying treaties, which requires a two-thirds majority according to Article (61/Fourth) of the Constitution, and the law ratifying a specific agreement, which is approved by a simple majority based on Article (59/Second).

Iraq’s deposit of maritime maps and official coordinates with the United Nations has sparked reactions in Gulf circles, amid calls to contain the repercussions of the move and address the issue through diplomatic frameworks and official channels.

Diplomatic tensions between Iraq and Kuwait have been escalating for years over the issue of demarcating the maritime border beyond point (162), which is the maritime extension that has not been completed in its demarcation between the two countries since the issuance of Security Council Resolution No. (833) in 1993.  LINK

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

MILITARY ESCALATION: U.S.–Israel Strikes Hit Iran, Triggering Regional Shockwaves

“Operation Lion’s Roar” marks a dramatic escalation in Middle East tensions with far-reaching implications

Overview

Today, the Israel and the United States launched coordinated military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran — a major escalation that shatters recent diplomatic efforts and raises the specter of a wider conflict in the Middle East.

The operation, reportedly dubbed “Operation Lion’s Roar,” involved missile and aerial assaults on Tehran and other strategic targets, including symbolic infrastructure associated with Iran’s leadership. Explosions were widely reported over Tehran and other Iranian cities, and both nations’ airspaces were disrupted.

The strikes follow months of heightened tensions tied to Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and come amid ongoing U.S.–Iran negotiations that had sought to curb Tehran’s capabilities. Iran responded with warnings of retaliation, including potential strikes on U.S. bases in the region.

Key Developments

1. First Major Joint U.S.–Israeli Offensive on Iranian Soil

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz publicly confirmed that Israel launched a pre-emptive military attack against Iran, while U.S. forces simultaneously conducted strikes targeting key infrastructure and leadership elements. Explosions were reported across Tehran, prompting closures of airspace and emergency preparations in Israel.

President Donald Trump described the actions as necessary to eliminate imminent threats posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions and missile development, warning that U.S. personnel might suffer casualties in the operation.

2. Iran Responds With Alerts and Potential Retaliation

Tehran acknowledged the strikes and issued stern warnings of countermeasures, including the possibility of targeting U.S. military installations in neighboring countries. Sirens sounded in Israel, and civil defense precautions were enacted. Iran has not yet detailed the full scale of damage or casualties, but the strikes triggered panic and major civilian responses, including long queues at gas stations in Tehran as citizens sought safety.

3. Global Airspace and Flight Disruptions

In the immediate aftermath, airlines suspended flights across the Middle East, citing closed and unsafe airspace. Russia also ordered suspension of flights to and from both Iran and Israel as tensions spiked. These travel disruptions underscore how quickly military action can ripple into global transportation networks.

Why It Matters

This is arguably the most consequential military escalation in the Middle East since the earlier Iran–Israel conflict cycles. Strategic implications include:

• Energy Markets: Oil price volatility will likely surge as markets price geopolitical risk around the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global shipping lane.

• Global Security Architecture: A direct attack on Iran by U.S. and Israeli forces fundamentally alters deterrence calculations and may compel stronger postures from Russia, China, and regional powers.

• Nuclear Diplomacy Undermined: Diplomatic negotiations aimed at limiting Tehran’s nuclear program are substantially jeopardized, increasing the likelihood of protracted confrontation.

This is not just diplomacy collapsing — it’s the reset of geopolitical monetary sentiment.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For those tracking the global reset and currency flows:

• Safe-haven demand may spike for the U.S. dollar, Swiss franc, and gold as risk aversion surges.

• Emerging market currencies — particularly in oil-exporting and Middle Eastern states — may face acute volatility.

• Commodity prices including crude oil, natural gas, and strategic metals could experience sharp repricing, influencing inflation expectations and monetary policy decisions globally.

Conflict reshapes how capital allocates — often moving toward liquidity and perceived stability.

This is not just diplomacy collapsing — it’s the reset of geopolitical monetary sentiment.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Geopolitical Risk as Monetary Driver

Military escalation embeds geopolitical risk into monetary and investment frameworks, shifting emphasis from purely economic fundamentals to security dynamics.

• Pillar 2: Redefinition of Reserve Demand

Heightened uncertainty could reinforce the dollar’s status as a haven in the short term, even as long-term strategic forces — such as de-dollarization efforts by blocs like BRICS — continue to gain traction.

This event is not just a battlefield development — it is a pivotal moment where war, diplomacy, and global financial architectures intersect.

POWER BALANCE: China Signals BRICS Depends on India’s Leadership in 2026

Beijing’s early outreach to New Delhi reveals the strategic reality inside the expanding BRICS bloc

Overview

As India prepares to assume the 2026 chairmanship of BRICS, China moved swiftly to secure alignment — signaling that the bloc’s future cohesion may hinge on New Delhi’s role.

On February 10, China’s Executive Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu met with India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri in New Delhi for a new round of the China-India Strategic Dialogue — just days before India formally assumed the chair. The timing was widely viewed as deliberate.

According to former Indian diplomat Vidya Bhushan Soni, the outreach underscores a central truth: BRICS cannot function effectively without India’s active participation and leadership.

With BRICS now expanded to 11 full members — including Indonesia — and 10 partner countries, the bloc is entering one of its most consequential phases since its founding nearly two decades ago.

Key Developments

1. China Moves Early to Secure Strategic Alignment

Beijing’s diplomatic engagement before India’s chairmanship officially began suggests recognition that:

• India is essential to BRICS legitimacy and balance

• The bloc’s internal cohesion depends on China–India coordination

• Global efforts to diminish BRICS influence may intensify in 2026

China’s Ambassador to India, Xu Feihong, publicly confirmed both nations agreed to support each other’s BRICS chair roles in 2026 and 2027 and work toward a “multipolar world.”

This is not symbolic — it is strategic positioning.

2. India Frames 2026 Around Resilience & Sustainability

On January 13, India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar formally launched India’s BRICS presidency, unveiling the official summit logo and theme.

India’s 2026 theme:

“Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.”

Jaishankar stated:

“As BRICS completes 20 years, it stands as a valuable forum for international cooperation, consultation and coordination… advancing priorities of resilience, innovation, cooperation and sustainability.”

India plans to host the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi in late 2026.

The symbolism matters:

• The logo features a lotus with a Namaste gesture

• Petals reflect the colors of all member states

• Messaging emphasizes a people-centric, humanity-first approach

India is clearly positioning itself as a stabilizing anchor within a rapidly expanding bloc.

3. BRICS Expansion Raises the Stakes

With 11 members and growing Global South representation, BRICS now represents:

• ~35% of global GDP

• ~45% of the world’s population

• Increasing coordination on trade, development finance, and local currency settlement

China understands that without India:

• The bloc risks appearing China-dominant

• Internal fragmentation could slow progress

• Multipolar ambitions weaken

India’s balancing position — maintaining ties with the West while engaging BRICS — is what gives the bloc global credibility.

Why It Matters

This is not just diplomatic choreography.

It signals:

• BRICS is entering a consolidation phase

• China recognizes limits to unilateral leadership

• India’s chairmanship will shape the bloc’s global perception

If India succeeds in steering BRICS toward pragmatic cooperation rather than ideological confrontation, the grouping could mature into a durable parallel platform in global governance.

If tensions resurface between Beijing and New Delhi, momentum could stall.

This is not just multipolar rhetoric — it’s structural repositioning.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For those watching global monetary shifts:

• India’s leadership may determine how aggressively BRICS pursues de-dollarization

• Balanced messaging could stabilize markets while quietly expanding local currency trade

• A cohesive BRICS strengthens the case for multipolar reserve diversification

India’s moderation could slow sudden shocks — but deepen long-term structural change.

This is not just expansion — it’s a leadership test for India.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Multipolar Coordination Over Ideological Confrontation

India’s approach suggests BRICS may prioritize practical economic cooperation rather than abrupt systemic disruption.

• Pillar 2: Controlled Evolution of Financial Architecture

Rather than launching radical alternatives overnight, 2026 may focus on:

• Development finance expansion

• Local currency settlement mechanisms

• Institutional credibility

A reset does not always happen explosively — sometimes it unfolds through patient coordination.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:   • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

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.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.    Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Saturday Morning 2-28-26

Iraq Rejects Regional Escalation As Iran Begins Strikes On US Bases

2026-02-28 Shafaq News- Baghdad   Iraq rejects further military escalation in the region, Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein said on Saturday during a phone call with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, as military operations intensified between the United States, Israel, and Iran.

According to a statement, Araghchi confirmed that Tehran would continue to defend itself, and the response would focus on US military installations in the region, describing the move as self-defense and that the strikes would not target the countries hosting those bases.

Hussein reaffirmed Iraq’s opposition to widening the conflict, saying armed confrontation cannot resolve ongoing crises. He called on all sides to prioritize dialogue and de-escalation to safeguard regional security and stability.

Earlier on Saturday, Iran launched what it called “True Promise 4,” targeting US military sites and firing projectiles toward Israel in response to a joint Israeli-American attack.

Regional media reported that Al-Juffair Base in Bahrain and Al-Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates were among the targets. Explosions were also reported in Kuwait and Qatar, where warning sirens were activated.

US Envoy Holds Talks With PM Al-Sudani As Deadline Pressures Iraq’s Government Formation

2026-02-27 Shafaq News- Baghdad   Caretaker Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani met Friday with US Special Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack to discuss bilateral ties, regional tensions, and efforts to shield Iraq from wider instability.

According to a statement from Al-Sudani’s office, Barrack conveyed President Donald Trump’s view of current regional developments and underscored Iraq’s role in promoting stability and economic growth.

Al-Sudani said Iraqi leaders are prioritizing national interests and safeguarding strategic gains, stressing that Iraq’s sovereignty and stability are essential not only domestically but for regional balance.

The meeting reviewed ways to address regional disputes through dialogue and diplomatic channels, with both sides emphasizing economic development as a path to reducing tensions.

Barrack’s visit followed talks with State of Law Coalition leader Nouri Al-Maliki, during which issues related to Iraq’s political process and regional security were discussed. Barrack highlighted Iraq’s role in counterterrorism and conflict de-escalation, according to a statement from Al-Maliki’s office.

The diplomatic activity comes as political blocs elected in late 2025 seek to resolve delayed constitutional steps, including selecting a president and naming a prime minister. Washington earlier set a deadline for the ruling Shiite Coordination Framework to reconsider Al-Maliki’s nomination for premier, a move that has deepened divisions within the alliance.

US To Act Hard If Iraqi Factions Target Its Interests

2026-02-27   Shafaq News- Washington   Washington treats threats from some Iraqi armed factions seriously, pledging to respond firmly to any threat against US interests or the Kurdistan Region, a US politician said on Friday.

Malik Francis, a member of the US Republican Party, told Shafaq News that previous incidents have shown some of these factions are capable of carrying out rocket or drone attacks, noting that US authorities respond to such actions by increasing protective measures, strengthening coordination with the Iraqi government, and reserving the right to respond if necessary. At the same time, he added, the US administration recognizes that some of the warnings are part of political messaging linked to regional tensions.

Regarding the impact of US-Iran tensions on Iraq, Francis stated that “continued escalation carries serious risks” as any targeting of foreign interests, particularly in the Kurdistan Region, which he described as a more stable and investment-attractive environment, could undermine investor confidence, directly affecting Iraq’s economy and financial stability.

“Continued attacks place the Iraqi government in a difficult position between its sovereign obligations to protect foreign missions and internal pressures from certain armed groups, and if Baghdad fails to enforce the state’s monopoly over weapons, it could weaken state authority and further destabilize the political environment.”

In a statement, Kataib Hezbollah said that the United States would face “massive losses” if it launched a military strike against Iran and called on its fighters to prepare for what it described as a “long war of attrition.” The group also cautioned the Kurdistan Regional Government against what it termed “collaboration with hostile foreign powers.”

Additionally, the Iraqi Resistance Coordination Committee, an umbrella grouping of several armed factions, threatened to target US interests and bases in Iraq and nearby countries.

Iran Briefs Iraq On Progress In US Nuclear Negotiations

2026-02-27   Shafaq News- Baghdad/ Tehran   Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday updated his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Hussein during a telephone call on the latest stage of negotiations between Iran and the US regarding its nuclear program.

According to separate statements from the two countries' foreign ministries, both sides reviewed recent regional and international developments during the conversation. They also discussed the need for continued coordination among regional countries to safeguard stability.

Earlier today, Araghchi also briefed Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on the progress of US-Iran discussions, warning against “excessive demands” by the United States, one day after the two sides concluded a third round of talks in Geneva.

The latest round of indirect Iran-US nuclear talks concluded on February 26, with both sides agreeing to continue consultations on Monday in Vienna. Araghchi presented proposals linking sanctions relief to nuclear commitments while reiterating Tehran’s position on maintaining uranium enrichment for peaceful purposes. The US delegation called for stricter limits on enrichment levels and additional guarantees regarding the nature of Iran’s nuclear program.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Friday Evening 2-27-26

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

$30 TRILLION PLAY: Putin Urges BRICS to Lead the Bioeconomy Revolution

Industrial Sovereignty, Local Currencies, and the Next Phase of Global Growth

Overview (Key Points)

• Vladimir Putin proposes a BRICS-led bioeconomy strategy at Moscow’s Future Technologies Forum.

• Bioeconomy projected to reach $6.3 trillion by 2035 and $30 trillion by 2050.

• Focus sectors: Agriculture, Advanced Medicine, Clean Energy, Synthetic Biology, and AI-driven bio-manufacturing.

• Potential shift toward local currency settlement in biotech trade.

• Signals a pivot from currency debates to industrial dominance strategy at the 2026 summit in India.

Key Developments

1. A Strategic Pivot: From De-Dollarization Talk to Industrial Control

At the Future Technologies Forum in Moscow, Putin called the bioeconomy the “new reality” of global growth, urging BRICS members to collaborate on next-generation sectors.

Rather than focusing solely on a new currency framework, the strategy aims at capturing industrial supply chains that could disrupt 15–20% of global output by 2030.

Putin stated:

“Russia is ready to implement joint projects in bioeconomy with partners in BRICS countries.”

This marks a shift from defensive sanctions evasion to offensive sector leadership.

2. What Is the Bioeconomy?

The BRICS bioeconomy strategy targets three primary pillars:

• Agriculture — resilient crops, food security innovation

• Medicine — artificial organs, genetics, bionic prosthetics

• Energy — biomimetics and biofuels

It also includes:

• Synthetic biology

• AI-driven bio-manufacturing

• Medical patent ecosystems

• Advanced biotech infrastructure

The bloc’s 11 members — including UAE and Egypt — possess vast biological resources and demographic scale, giving them production depth and consumption demand.

3. $30 Trillion by 2050: The Stakes

Global projections estimate:

• $6.3 trillion bioeconomy market by 2035

• $30 trillion valuation by 2050

If BRICS secures a dominant share, it would reshape:

• Healthcare trade flows

• Energy settlement systems

• Agricultural supply chains

• Cross-border medical tourism

The proposal will reportedly be discussed at the 2026 summit in India.

4. Natural De-Dollarization Through Trade Flow Shifts

Instead of announcing a new reserve currency, the bloc may pursue something more subtle:

Settling biotech trade in local currencies.

If bio goods, medical devices, agricultural technology, and synthetic materials move through non-dollar channels:

• Demand for dollar settlement could gradually decline.

• Forex markets would see increased local currency utilization.

• Long-term Treasury demand could soften at the margins.

This is not a sudden break — it is sector-driven diversification.

Why It Matters

• Industrial sovereignty reduces sanction vulnerability.

• Biotech leadership creates durable export leverage.

• Medical tourism could re-route capital flows toward BRICS nations.

• Clean bio-energy reduces petrodollar dependency over time.

The shift is strategic: own the future growth sector instead of fighting over current monetary dominance.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For global reset observers:

• Sector-based settlement in local currencies supports organic de-dollarization.

• A bio-dominant BRICS bloc could generate long-term trade surpluses, strengthening member currencies.

• Reduced reliance on dollar clearing mechanisms lowers exposure to financial restrictions.

This approach represents a structural, not rhetorical, shift.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Sector-Based Monetary Diversification

Control over biotech supply chains enables:

• Independent trade corridors

• Alternative payment systems

• Local currency liquidity scaling

Economic gravity shifts when trade flows shift.

• Pillar 2: Industrial Sovereignty as Financial Leverage

If BRICS dominates biotech:

• It becomes less sensitive to Western capital cycles.

• It gains bargaining power in global supply negotiations.

• It anchors long-term growth outside traditional Western tech ecosystems.

This is reset mechanics through innovation capture, not monetary confrontation.

From Sanctions Resistance to Sector Leadership.

Seeds of Wisdom Team View

The most transformative power shift rarely begins with currency announcements.

It begins with who controls the next trillion-dollar industry.

Putin’s proposal reframes the BRICS debate:

Not “replace the dollar.”
But “replace dependency.”

If bioeconomy trade becomes multi-currency by default,
the monetary shift follows naturally.

Industrial dominance precedes monetary dominance.

The $30 Trillion Bioeconomy Could Redefine Global Power.

Tishwash:  Egypt's MoneyHash & Iraqi Startup Wayl Partner to Expand E-Payments

The payment orchestration platform is working with Iraqi provider Wayl to help businesses access local payment methods.

 MoneyHash, a payment orchestration platform that helps businesses manage and route transactions across multiple payment providers through a single integration, has partnered with Wayl, an Iraq-based payment solutions provider and merchant of record, to support companies expanding into Iraq.

Payment orchestration platforms like MoneyHash sit between merchants and banks, card networks, and digital wallets, enabling businesses to optimise payment flows, reduce failed transactions and manage multiple providers without building separate integrations for each market.

Wayl operates local payment infrastructure in Iraq, providing access to widely used domestic wallets, bank-based payment options and localised checkout systems. As a merchant of record, Wayl can legally process payments on behalf of foreign businesses, handling regulatory and operational requirements within the country.

The collaboration connects MoneyHash’s orchestration layer with Wayl’s on-the-ground payment rails, allowing merchants to accept international card schemes alongside Iraqi payment methods through a unified system.  link

***************

Tishwash: The Central Bank of Iraq announces the completion of a pivotal step in reforming the banking sector and expanding foreign transactions. 

The Central Bank of Iraq announced on Thursday that it has completed the main step in the comprehensive reform process for commercial and Islamic banks and branches of foreign banks operating in Iraq, after completing the submission of the required documents for review in accordance with the “minimum requirements”.

The bank explained in a statement received by "Al-Eqtisad News" that the minimum requirements included choosing one of the following three paths: continuing in the market as independent banking institutions, merging with other banking institutions, or exiting the market.

The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed that all Iraqi banks submitted the required documents according to the path they chose, which allows the bank to assess the level of compliance of each bank with the minimum requirements.

He explained that the coming months will see the addressing of any gaps or observations identified during the evaluation process, and that banks will work to complete the requirements for full compliance with banking reform standards.

As part of strengthening the role of private banks in supporting the economy, the Central Bank of Iraq announced the launch of a new initiative to expand the banks’ ability to support international trade for their clients. Banks that meet specific criteria, as assessed by the Central Bank, will be allowed to resume cross-border transactions and issue letters of credit in several international currencies, including the euro, the UAE dirham, the Chinese yuan, the Jordanian dinar, and others.

The bank indicated that this step complements the reform path it is leading to enhance confidence in the future of the Iraqi economy, deepen the global integration of the financial sector, and support sustainable economic growth in Iraq   link

Tishwash: Iraq reopens cross-border trade channel for private lenders

Iraq’s Central Bank (CBI) cleared private banks to resume cross-border transactions and issue letters of credit in multiple foreign currencies, in a move aimed at strengthening trade financing and accelerating banking reform, the CBI said on Thursday.

In a statement, the bank noted it completed “a key phase of a comprehensive reform process covering commercial and Islamic banks and branches of foreign banks.” The step required institutions to submit documentation for review under “minimum requirements,” selecting one of three paths: continuing operations as independent banking institutions, merging with other banks, or exiting the market.

All Iraqi banks have submitted the required documents in line with the path each chose, and they will address any identified gaps in the coming months, the CBI added.

Under the new initiative, private banks that meet specific standards based on the central bank’s assessment will be permitted to resume cross-border transactions and issue letters of credit in several international currencies, including the euro, UAE dirham, Chinese yuan, and Jordanian dinar, among others.

THE CENTRAL BANK .. Banks chose their way in the reform processes and a new initiative to raise their capacity

The Iraqi Central Bank announces the completion of the major step in the process of comprehensive reform of commercial and Islamic banks and foreign banking branches by submitting the required documents for review in accordance with the "minimum requirements" which summarized by choosing one of the three tracks, which is "continuing in the market as independent banking institutions, merging with other banking institutions, or exiting From the market".

The Iraqi Central Bank affirms that all Iraqi banks have submitted the required documents according to the route they had chosen, allowing the central bank to assess its level of acceptance for the minimum requirements. Over the coming months, banks will work to address any loopholes that are identified, and will strive to achieve full compliance with repair standards.

This bank also announces a new initiative to expand the capacity of private banks to support international trade to its customers, where banks that meet certain criteria according to the assessment of the Iraqi Central Bank will be allowed to resume cross-border transactions and issue credentials based on many international currencies, including the euro, the UAE Dirham, the Chinese Yuan, the Jordanian Dinar, among others.

This step is a continuation of the path laid out by the Iraqi Central Bank to strengthen confidence in the future of the Iraqi economy, global cohesion with the financial sector, and to lead the sustainable growth of Iraq. link

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 2-26-26

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 2-26-26 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Hello, everybody welcome to the big call tonight – it is Thursday, February 26th  and you're listening to the big call.Thanks for tuning in. Glad to have everybody back in tonight. This will be a regular format call tonight.

Tuesday night. If you caught us, you know, we did a very abbreviated three segments, three mini segments, and then we listened to the State of the Union address, which audio wise, from my end, it was very loud where I was, but it didn't pick it up on the phone quite as loud as it could have been. And I know that if I ever do anything like that again, I know how to do it better.

But many of you guys tuned away from the big call. That was fine, and maybe you've watched the speech on your own televisor or television and yeah, I watched. We stood up with it. We watched the whole thing two hours. It was quite, quite extensive. And  to be candid, there wasn't anything in the speech that I heard that was new to me.  I think most of us who have been tracking President Trump and what his accomplishments have been, what  has happened, are fully aware of what he's been doing

The only reference I heard, it could be a calm was the context of we are in the Golden Age. And we are, and we'll talk more about that in the Intel segment.

Little bit longer, not too much longer, till we get off to daylight settings on March the eighth, Sunday at 2am all right, so thank you, Bob. Appreciate that very much.

I gave you a shortened version of intel on Tuesday night, but I do have quite a bit of newer intel that supersedes it tonight, and some of this I want Pastor Scott to pay attention to and anyone else, this is very big before we get into the timing of our notifications, I just want to say we heard from a source inside Treasury who works with Scott Bessent  our treasury secretary, and he is indicating that we are going to get not 1800 not 2000 not 3000 but $5,000 a month for the tariff dividends, and that is supposed to start being mirrored to our accounts right away, like between now and Tuesday, we should have that in our bank accounts.

Now we had heard the same changes, and it changed back on us. We had heard that you had to be on Soc Sec to receive that by direct deposit into your bank account.

Social Security recipients will get it in their bank account, yes, but other people with bank accounts that are tied to their social security number, the personal bank accounts, will get it also direct deposited into your account.

We should look for it. It should be there by Tuesday, maybe, maybe sooner, as in, maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday are in play. But also Tuesday is when we should have it, if not before Tuesday.

Now that $5,000 is for all US citizens, no illegals, all US citizens, age 18 and older get the same five grand, five large, 5000

Now. How long will it continue? The contact we had in Treasury said it would go for three years, 5000 per month.

Do the simple math. My math is correct 12 months, if it is five grand, which is supposed to be five grand, that is 60 grand a year for three years straight. Does it go beyond that? Don't know. Is it universal basic income?

Well, it might as well be. It's not called that, though it's not called UBI, but it sort of acts like it doesn't it?

Okay. What about the timing of it? Coming out by Tuesday, maybe a little before – you might  want to check your accounts starting Friday or Saturday, just see if it's in there yet.

Social security people are going to get it first, from what I understand, and then everybody else gets it.

So this is a big deal, you guys. This is really terrific, and why the timing around by Tuesday if it's not there before? Let's say if it's there before you get it, let's say Tuesday. Well, what about our notifications? When are they coming out?

Jeannie asked, Are we still going to get notified this month? I thought we were - we had intel, in general,  get notified by tomorrow and get started over the weekend , which is already the first of March, is Sunday.

So I believe we are not going to get notified in the month of February, but rather,  I believe it will occur on the second of March, which is Monday. I believe we'll get notified

Now, could the emails come out overnight Sunday night, where we could wake up to them Monday morning, set our appointments and go in for exchanges on Tuesday.

I believe that is quite possible – I believe that the timing that I'm hearing we're going to go to -- maybe we do get something over the weekend this coming weekend, maybe we do.

But I believe if it takes place on March 1 Sunday, March 1 special day, maybe we get that. I really don't think we're going to be in the redemption centers or call centers to set our appointments until Monday. So let’s see how that thing comes out, but it looks like everything is good to go.

Why is it good to go now? First of all, let's go back that $5,000 tariff dividend payment I think is coming up because President Trump wants everybody to be receiving money, Not just currency holders, not just Zim holders, currency exchangers, but citizens of this country, age 18 and older. Okay, get the same amount.

So if you're a young person, thank it. Save it. Save it for college, put it in your your trump account, whatever, whatever you now you're a little old for a Trump account, even though you can still open a Trump account if you wish, but they're designed for newborns, young children, all of that that Michael and Susan Dell agreed to put, six point two five  billion of their own money into, I believe it was 25 million Trump accounts for young people which is a beautiful gesture.

And we can add to those, we can add to those. We can put money in there. I believe it's up to $5,000 a year, a parent or a friend or an uncle, a relative or us, could feed those accounts with our money, if we wanted to.

Now, the timing is such that it looks like money for everybody. Kind of a thing will be a cover for those of us who have appointments and are going in for exchange – notice  It's very close timing.

In fact, I believe our first exchange day should be Tuesday, and everybody should have these tariff dividend payments by or before Tuesday, when we're getting from Treasury. Just saying, let's follow it out and see - this is no dose payment.

This is tariff dividends, okay? And that's excellent. There's a picture of President Trump holding up a $5,000 United States Treasury note  and a picture that my handler received of that image, pretty cool.

All right, so what is making this doable now finally?

It is because Iraq, with our help, has sealed their borders. That was as of yesterday's information, actually afternoon we got that, but they had sealed their borders, and that means nobody coming in. We going out, no foreign currency coming in, no USD currency coming in – no currency going out.

Basically, it's a closed system until the exchanges get started  like Tuesday or Wednesday, probably.

So that's good news. And you know what was said about that. That was the last thing that had to happen before we go.

I love hearing that kind of stuff. The last thing that had to happen the sealing of Iraq's borders, which are on Kuwait and to Iran and Maliki, that whole thing is with him is on its way out. If he's not already gone, he'll be gone by tomorrow.

That'll be good. And as far as Iran is concerned, they had talks today, peace talks today in Switzerland. I don't know it was Geneva. I would guess it probably was, but that's wherethe talks were on neutral country, and they were going well after the first break, commentary came out that things were going well, and they continued with the second session in this evening,  in Switzerland and my understanding they will continue  and hopefully, we have a positive result by tomorrow night regarding Iran.

Let’s hope for peace, and that way, we won't have to go in there and take out more targets. Okay, they are very much aware  that’s  what we're going to do if they don't get their mess together in Switzerland 

All right, so that's going on.  Cuba is moving closer and closer to where we need it to be, and I believe will have a result in Cuba's favorable for democracy and change in regime, probably within about a week from now or a week from tomorrow let's say -- that's what I heard week from tomorrow. So let's pray along those lines for Cuba

You know, Cuba use to be a travel destination, a cool place to travel to in the 50s, before the whole Bay of Pigs invasion and all that stuff took place in 1962 61 / 62  -- so I think our Cuban American community in Miami, in Hialeah, over in ? city you know, next to Tampa - these are great people, and they've done well in the States. I think a lot of them will return, at least, to visit Cuba. Some of them have family there, and some of them, may stay in the United States,

But I had a really good Friend in college that was a Cuban refugee and was with the United States Army, and he was an Army Ranger and a black belt Karate  -  Now you know why I hung  around with him, right, or even with me one. But he was a great guy and loved him, loved his mother and just good people, good people. I had other Cuban friends too, and several so I would suggest that things are about to change for the better there. Hopefully Iran comes to the party and and agrees in principal to the terms of the peace, and we're able to make that work.

I really hope so. I wish I could be more optimistic for Russia and Ukraine. I'd love to see that happen, to get them to come to a peaceful agreement, at least a cease fire with no more killing - President Trump wants that - he'll work on that until it's done.   You know he really will.

I think we really have a great opportunity now to go forward, med beds, Jeannie  don't pray for availability of med beds. They're ready for us. What we're not ready for is we haven't exchanged yet. We have to go in to the excenters, the redemption centers, - redeem our zim -  exchange our currency, and then we can set an appointment in those redemption centers.

We can let them know  hey, I'm a Zim holder, as you can see, I've got dire need, and I'd like to get in the med bed as soon as possible. They'll keep some things in, and they'll get back to you with however soon you can get in there. I'm getting in soon. I know I am, and so will a lot of you

They have been using the med beds in the last number of months, and maybe longer, for military. I know of now 14 examples of military men and women that have gone through the med bed and had a new limbs, new legs, new arms, new fingers, new shoulder, new face. One half the faces would have been blown off somehow they survived and have a  brand new face. They all de age to the age of around 29 or 30  and one was 31 and that's a great deal glad.

Now, do I wish I had gone in before now? Yes, I do, but that's okay. I will get in when my time is right, you know, and we all will, but we have to. We have to stay as healthy as we can. And if we're in dire need, we just have to do what we need to do before we get the chance to get in the med bed. They are ready for us. They're all over the place.

Remember, we have 23,500 hospitals with two or four med beds in each one. Half the hospitals have two med beds. The other half of the 23,500 have four med beds in each one. They're already retrofitted.

We have 26,900 med bed centers with two med beds in each one all over the United States.

I know where some are.  I don’t know where mine is that is near me, but I know roughly where its going to be - doesn't matter where it is. Point is, I'll get in there.

Redemption centers are the way to go. You guys know that  if you have listened to me at all.

We did hear from another source today that the Dong went up another couple of dollars, and they were very, very pleased with the redemption center rate for the Dong. Know what the Zim is, we already know the contract rate available for the dinar has been tied back to the per barrel price of oil in Iraq.

Speaking of oil in Iraq, President Barzani of Kurdistan traveled with the HCL 140 which is the oil and gas law. The Hydro carbon law -  the hydrocarbon law that's what HCL stands for hydrocarbon law

And that has been returned to Baghdad, and that was the law that allowed for the entire country to receive a certain percentage of the oil and gas proceeds that were drilled for and brought up in Iraq, and that law has been out for like 18 years, trying to get it settled and agreed to. And they went back and forth, back and forth, and they have Yes. They finally agreed to it, and signed it and returned it to Baghdad to Prime Minister Sudani

All right, so looks like they're buttoned up ready for us, and we're excited. And by the way, the currency for Cuba is the Cuban Peso

Don't know if it's going to be in the in the basket or not. I don't know. I know that a lot of currencies, last time we looked, there were 38 to 40 currency that were going up in value that, you know, we have maybe eight of, maybe maybe more. But it'll be an extensive revaluation, and we should get our notifications.

It sounds like Monday. Start exchanges Tuesday. That's the latest that we got that supersedes Tuesdays information. So we'll have to see how that comes together.

In the meantime, in the next few days, take a look at your bank account, those that are on social security, Social Security bank. This isn't Social Security. It's not but it's going to go to the account that's tied to your Social Security.

And it should be five grand a month.   And if that's correct for three years, that's 180 grand over that three year period of time, so don't spend it all in one place. But that should help everybody

Plus those of us who are ready, who have currency, and those of us who have zim, you know it's going to be a drop in the bucket, but it's still good money, and use it wisely. Always be good stewards.

I think that's everything I've got to say. I'm excited about where we are. I like the information that came in yesterday and today. And you know, see, I'm in my 21st year of owning these currencies, and 15th year of the big call, so kind of looking forward to this, don't you?

Let's take away the enemy, and then we will build out a couple of websites and get some information out to you guys about everything. Get our projects. I know some of you out there, and you know who you are. Going to hit the ground running. I get that, but we need a little bit of adjustment period here to to sit with this change in our economic future and make some personal decisions, like, where do we want to live? Do we want to buy a new house. Do we want to move? Do we want to get, you know, find a car's nothing big a deal we can do that no problem

Give some thought as to whether you want to take a vacation or not. I think we all deserve one, but let's see what happens.

Let's just go ahead and thank everybody so far for everything that that has happened so far for us. Thank you. Sue. Great job tonight, as always, on your segment and on the team and everything else.

Thank you. And thank you Bob for everything you do and maintain the board and getting our music ready and putting that out, also, obviously doing your segment.

All right, so let's just pray the call out. Want to thank everybody stay tuned. Check your SEC dividend payment yet. And by the way, if you don't have a bank account and you sell the US citizen, you'll get your tariff dividend as a check in the mail.  Getting a check in the mail US citizen, if you're not coming home, you're not going to get one if you're not a citizen.  

Well, good night everybody that we're able to have some form of celebration, call on Tuesday. I look forward to seeing you, everybody. Have a great weekend. Okay.  And God bless

Thurs. 26 Feb. 2026 CHECKMATE!!! The Black Swan Event: Financial Collapse, Blackout & a Radical Reset …Ezra Cohen on Telegram

A looming Black Swan Event could trigger a massive financial collapse, wiping out the stock market, Bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies alike. The fallout may extend beyond finance, disrupting critical infrastructure — even the power grid. As panic spreads, the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) could signal a dramatic turning point, marking the end of the old financial order and the beginning of a new era.

Financial Collapse on the Horizon. This wouldn’t be a normal correction. With soaring debt, heavy central bank intervention, and fragile markets, the system stands on unstable ground. If it unravels, both traditional markets and digital assets could crash simultaneously, shaking global economies and confidence worldwide. The ripple effects could disrupt trade, banking, and daily life.

A Global Blackout & System Reset In this scenario, infrastructure failures could lead to widespread blackouts, symbolizing the collapse of outdated systems. Supporters of this theory believe the crisis would clear the way for a total reset — not just financially, but energetically.

The New Era Following the chaos, a transformation could emerge, shifting from conventional energy systems toward advanced technologies such as quantum-based power concepts. Proponents claim this reset would reshape global power structures and economic systems.

A source inside the US Treasury indicated all US Citizens age 18 and older were going to (allegedly) get a $5,000 Tariff dividend each month for three years for the Tariff dividend. That will be mirrored into our bank accounts by Tues. 3 March 2026.

Notification for Tier4b (Us, the Internet Group) to obtain appointments to exchange foreign currencies and Zim Bonds will(allegedly)  come by Mon. 2 March 2026, with exchanges started by Tues. 3 March 2026.

Yesterday Wed. 25 Feb. 2026 Iraq (allegedly) sealed their borders (so money would not come in or out of Iraq) until the exchanges get going on Tues. 3 March 2026.

The Dong rate has gone up another couple of dollars. Contract Rate for the Dinar can be obtained at a Redemption Center and is tied to one barrel of oil price in Iraq.

Mnt Goat  I assure you things can change on a dime. Wait and watch!  There are already too many signs we are very near. Parliament is waiting for the budget and will soon address the Oil and Gas Law. 

Militia Man  We saw another article about the WTO...It's coming together.  I'm going to say this one more time, most likely Iraq's integration into the global financial system will have a real effective exchange rate [REER] prior to accession.  Could it be at the same time?  Yes, it could be.  But does it have to be?  No.  

Militia Man  We all know the fundamentals of Iraq.  It's all ready for what?  A managed rear effective  exchange rate adjustment when prudent.  Low inflation is a key component for the IMF and the World Bank and everybody else.  Low  inflation.  They just came out with an article...[inflation] is still at less than 1%.  It's amazing.

Coffee with MarkZ, joined by Mr. Cottrell. 02/27/2026

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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

Member: Good Friday morning to Mark, Mr. C., Mods, and all.

Member: It’s the end of another week and another month…..Hopefully this weekend will be a good one

MZ: Redemption Center/Exchange folks are still very quiet. Historic bond folks had meeting through out the week but I cannot get any specifics from them. Some feel they will be processed next week.

Member: If they signed NDA’s of course they will not talk……common sense.

MZ: Some folks in the middle east feel like moves on Iran will happen this weekend.

Member: There may be a talk with Iran next week to discuss terms of surrender

Member: Mark, did Iraq close its borders?

MZ: they kinda have closed their borders…They have closed different parts of them. The financial border….. There is a lot of things going on in Iraq today.

Member: (From Dinar Guru) Mnt Goat  ...Iranian influence over Iraq is fading as many are now believing (as we already do) that Maliki is a ‘sinking ship’...it is just a matter of time before al-Sudani is sworn in to form his cabinet as the next prime minister. 

MZ: I can agree with that.

MZ: In Iraq: “Central Bank of Iraq reforms pave the way for liquidation and broad mergers” The CBI announces the completion of the main step in its comprehensive reform process. Banks could either merge with other banks or sell themselves and close their doors or come up to speed internationally with KYC (know your customer) and tracking money . So this is the “completion” of its main step.

MZ:They told us in their “white papers” that this is one of the biggest steps before they lift the purchasing power. I am excited about this. They are telling us their checklist is nearing completion.

Member: We are still waiting to hear if the QFS is live yet? Any news on this?

MZ: On the metals front…..there is a lot of panic right now as they do not feel they can suppress it this time as we are going in to “delivery month” . Over the last 24 hours we have already started seeing more demands for delivery then were expected by the ones who hope to keep kicking the can.

MZ: I think we are running close to a rate of $92 dollars an oz. on silver.  And over $5,200 on gold.

Member: If they can’t deliver- many say this will crash the fiat financial system

Member: Charlie Ward said this morning that one of the largest banks in China went bankrupt. Forget the name of the bank.

Member: Great bank story on Frank26 report that Scotia Bank was being used for Exchange in Canada….lots of good information that affects the US as well.

Member: will we know where Redemption Centers will be ?

MZ: We will know where the redeeming banks/redemption centers are when its time.

Member: Got a message from my bank that staring March 4th they will have a whole new look

MZ: I am hearing that lots of banks expect massive changes between March 2-4th.

Member: I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed day today! Thank you MarkZ and all the wonderful Mods for all your hard work.
