Majeed KSA: Whoever is Ready Should Go First

5-21-2026

Good afternoon to you all.

Here’s my personal opinion.

Maybe not all countries RVing have to go at the same time.

Maybe whoever is ready should go first.

IF this is the case, then Venezuela could go first based on how fast and hungry they are for changing the exchange rate and fixing the economy and reducing the inflation.

Plus, Venezuela is Trump’s baby and that’s why it could go first.

(take care of your child before you take care of other’s children).

Maybe.

MajeedKSA: Based on the news we had today about Iraq You don’t have to believe it I might be right and I might be wrong But I’m still insisting Venezuela bolivar is the dark horse in this RV investment

Read until the end.

On May 19, 2026, Donald Trump signed an executive order directing U.S. regulators to modernize the financial system by integrating fintech and crypto innovation into mainstream banking and payment infrastructure, including studying broader access to Federal Reserve payment systems for digital-asset firms. The order sets timelines of 90 days for regulatory reviews, 120 days for the Federal Reserve report, and 180 days for agencies to begin implementing reforms — but some changes and market reactions could begin before those deadlines.

Watcher.Guru:  JUST IN: President Trump orders US government to update regulations to integrate crypto into traditional finance and payment systems.

Jeff   They will never be able to go international or get the US sanctions lifted off them if they keep the value of the currency below a penny.  In order for them to get sanctions lifted and removed, the value of the dinar has to increase above a penny.  

Militia Man To me the CBI has completed the first evaluation phase of its comprehensive banking reform strategy.  It now moving into the second phase with international partners like Oliver Wyman to bring banks up to global standards for full integration.  I can't reiterate this enough, this didn't just start yesterday.  They've been working on this for a long time...They won't come out and talk openly about a dinar revaluation...If you think that you're getting misguided...

Reset Intelligence   Governor al-Alaq went on television Tuesday with the clean public denial. No change in the exchange rate. Foreign reserves strong. The CBI is not, in his words, studying the question. It is the 5th time he has said this in 6 months: November, February 12, February 25, April 16, May 19...The repetition is the signal...Al-Alaq confirmed a meeting "in the coming days" bringing the CBI together with the US Federal Reserve, US Treasury, and Oliver Wyman, framed as the path to "transition to dealing in other foreign currencies for banks that have completed all the required requirements." Read it as multi-currency-settlement readiness...Al-Alaq's 5th public dinar revaluation denial in 6 months runs interference until Treasury says go...

Iraq Tops Importers Of Sri Lankan Tea Despite A Decline In Exports In March

Money and Business    Economy News – Baghdad   Sri Lanka's tea industry is facing increasing economic pressure due to the fallout from the conflict in the Middle East, which has impacted exports and raised energy and shipping costs, according to a Reuters report.

Sri Lanka’s tea sector is heavily dependent on Middle Eastern markets, which account for about half of Ceylon tea exports, making it one of the sectors most affected by transport disruptions and rising fuel prices.

Data from the Sri Lanka Export Development Board showed that tea export revenues during March 2026 decreased by 17.3% year-on-year to reach $114.75 million.

Data for March also showed a 38% decline in tea exports to Iraq, the largest importer of Sri Lankan tea, while shipments to the UAE fell by 93%.

Iran imports between 8 and 10 million kilograms of premium Sri Lankan tea annually, amid concerns that regional tensions will continue to affect trade and shipping.

Sri Lankan tea companies confirmed that rising fuel and logistics costs have prompted them to expand into alternative markets such as Canada, the United States and South America.

The tea sector is one of the most important economic sectors in Sri Lanka, with a value of about $1.5 billion and providing employment for about 2.4 million people, at a time when farm workers are facing increasing living pressures due to inflation and rising prices. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=69358

A Government Advisor Emphasizes The Importance Of Activating The Market Development Council And Investing In Five Million Dunams.

Money and Business   Economy News – Baghdad   The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, stressed on Thursday the importance of activating the Market Development Council to support the modern economy in Iraq, while emphasizing the need to invest in five million dunams of agricultural land that have been damaged by desertification.

Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency, as reported by "Economy News": "The government program aims at institutional reform and defining institutions, their mechanisms, and their performance, as Iraq has a large number of institutions, and they are also weak." He explained that rebuilding Iraqi institutions is a very important matter, because the large capacity without oversight has drained the Iraqi state.

He added that "government institutions have become bloated and large and constitute a burden on the national economy, so that they have become market-based, meaning that market institutions are being stifled by heavy state institutions."

He pointed out that "economic reform begins with reforming old institutions and their laws and facilitating procedures," explaining that "many administrative complexities have become inherited and are not based on a legal basis."

He added that "young leaders are important in the economic reform process, as they possess a mindset of development, openness and change."

Regarding building a diversified national economy, he stated that "coexisting with a rentier oil economy and relying on the budget is one of the fundamental problems," calling for "turning towards all available non-oil resources."

He pointed out that "Iraq has natural resources that have not been invested in, and the private sector has not been allowed to partner and invest in them," noting that "our mission today is for the national and international private sector to partner with the government, using the latest technologies, to re-engage all of Iraq's resources."

He explained that "the agricultural sector represents the first starting point through the agricultural sovereignty and agricultural licensing project," indicating that "Iraq owns five million dunams of land affected by desertification, and a joint governmental-private holding company can be established on it, in cooperation with international companies, such as agricultural licensing rounds."

He added that "this step will lead to a green revolution starting with four or five million dunams that will secure Iraqi food security."

He continued, "The digital economy is a key focus in the reform process, through the creation of a strong institutional entity that oversees the digital cloud, cybersecurity, and attracting modern technology."

He pointed out that "the Market Development Council represents the link between the state and the private sector," stressing "the importance of redefining the council and activating it to support the birth of the modern economy in Iraq."

Transportation: Commencement Of The Second Phase Of The Trade Exchange Area

Money and Business      Economy News – Baghdad   The Ministry of Transport has begun implementing the second phase of the trade exchange yard project located in the Al-Taji area at the entrance to Baghdad-Salah Al-Din, as part of its plans to develop logistical infrastructure and enhance trade exchange between governorates and border crossings.

The Director of the General Company for Land Transport affiliated with the Ministry, Murtadha Karim Al-Shahmani, said in an interview with the official newspaper, which was followed by “Al-Eqtisad News”, that the engineering and technical staff affiliated with the Ministry have actually started the work of the second phase of the project, which extends over an area of ​​(387) dunams, indicating that the work is taking place in parallel with the completion of the contracting procedures for the commercial exchange square project at the entrance to Baghdad - Al-Kut, which has an area of ​​about (210) dunams.

He added that the trade exchange yards projects are witnessing remarkable progress in completion rates, especially the projects surrounding the city of Baghdad, which are known as “retail” projects, noting that these projects represent an important step to support the land transport sector and regulate loading and unloading operations, as well as their role in reducing congestion within the capital and enhancing the efficiency of logistical services.

Al-Shahmani explained that the ministry is preparing to begin work on the Baghdad-Kirkuk trade exchange yard project, which covers an area of ​​(350) dunams, after obtaining official approvals and no objection from the relevant government agencies to allocate the land and implement the project, noting that this project will constitute an important addition to the commercial transport network in the country.

He pointed out that the project for the trade exchange yard at the entrance to Baghdad - Anbar - Babylon has reached very advanced stages of implementation, especially after the start of work to connect the yard with the international road, which will contribute to facilitating the movement of trucks and goods, and achieving greater smoothness in transportation and trade exchange operations between the governorates.

Regarding the trade exchange yards projects at the border crossings, Al-Shahmani affirmed that the Ministry continues to follow up on the procedures related to the Shalamja, Al-Shaib, Arar and Trebil yards projects, while working to study the technical and administrative obstacles that may face the implementation phases, and finding appropriate solutions to ensure the completion of these projects according to the specified time plans, in order to enhance the role of the border crossings in supporting the national economy and stimulating regional trade. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=69350

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Trump Expands U.S. AI Export Strategy as Global Tech Competition Accelerates

Washington moves to finance global adoption of American artificial intelligence systems while deepening the technological rivalry with China.

 Overview

The United States is moving aggressively to strengthen its dominance in artificial intelligence through a new export financing initiative led by the Export Import Bank of the United States (EXIM). The proposal would provide loans, guarantees, and insurance support to foreign governments and businesses purchasing American AI technologies.

The initiative arrives during a period of intensifying geopolitical and economic competition between the United States and China, where control over AI infrastructure, semiconductor supply chains, and digital ecosystems is increasingly viewed as central to future global power.

Analysts say the move could reshape global technology alliances while accelerating the fragmentation of the international financial and technological order.

Key Developments

1. U.S. Launches Financial Push to Expand Global AI Dominance

The Trump administration is preparing a major financing framework designed to boost international purchases of American artificial intelligence systems and infrastructure.

Under the plan, EXIM would support overseas buyers through loan guarantees, export insurance, and long term financing packages, lowering barriers for countries seeking access to advanced U.S. AI technologies.

The strategy represents a significant shift toward state backed industrial policy, where financial tools are used to expand America’s technological footprint globally.

2. AI Becomes the New Strategic Battleground

The initiative highlights how artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming one of the most important geopolitical battlegrounds in the world economy.

The United States is attempting to strengthen adoption of its AI ecosystem while simultaneously restricting China’s access to advanced semiconductors and high performance computing technologies.

Meanwhile, Chinese firms continue advancing their own AI capabilities, including open source models and domestic chip production through companies such as Huawei.

This growing divide is creating what analysts describe as a two track global technology system increasingly separated into competing economic blocs.

3. Export Controls and Financing Are Now Working Together

Washington’s strategy no longer relies solely on sanctions and export restrictions.

Instead, the U.S. is pairing export controls with aggressive financing incentives to encourage allies and emerging economies to build around American standards, software, and infrastructure.

Sensitive technologies, including advanced chips produced by NVIDIA, would still require regulatory approval before financing support could proceed.

The policy reflects broader efforts to ensure that future digital infrastructure remains closely tied to U.S. technology platforms.

4. Global Supply Chains May Become More Politicized

The expansion of AI financing could deepen global economic realignment already underway across energy, trade, and manufacturing sectors.

Countries may increasingly face pressure to align with either American or Chinese technology ecosystems, especially in sectors tied to defense, telecommunications, banking, and data infrastructure.

Analysts warn this could accelerate the development of parallel financial and technological systems, similar to trends already emerging in global trade settlement and de-dollarization efforts.

Why It Matters

Artificial intelligence is no longer simply a technology race. It is becoming a foundation for future economic influence, military capability, financial systems, and geopolitical power.

The United States is now leveraging its financial system to secure long term AI influence worldwide, while China continues building alternative supply chains and domestic technological independence.

This competition could reshape:

• Global investment flows

• Semiconductor supply chains

• International trade relationships

• Digital currencies and payment systems

• Future financial infrastructure

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

The growing AI rivalry between the United States and China adds another layer to the broader transition toward a multipolar global economy.

As nations compete over technology standards, digital infrastructure, and strategic supply chains, global financial fragmentation may accelerate. This could impact:

• Currency stability

• International trade settlement systems

• Commodity pricing mechanisms

• Capital allocation between East and West

The battle over AI leadership is increasingly tied to the future architecture of the global financial system itself.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Technology Is Becoming Financial Power

Artificial intelligence is emerging as a strategic asset similar to oil, rare earth minerals, or reserve currencies. Countries that dominate AI infrastructure could gain enormous leverage over global commerce and financial systems.

• Pillar 2: Competing Economic Blocs Continue Forming

The United States and China are increasingly building separate ecosystems in technology, finance, trade, and supply chains. This fragmentation supports the broader shift toward a more divided and multipolar global order.

This is not just a technology race — it is the restructuring of global economic power in real time.

 🌱 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.

Qaani Informed The Leaders Of The Coordination Committee And Factions That Any Disarmament Or Restructuring Of The Popular Mobilization Forces Is A "Red Line" For Tehran

  Baghdad – One News    5/20/2026   Political sources revealed that Iranian General Qaani informed leaders in the coordination framework and armed factions during recent meetings he held in Baghdad that any step aimed at disarming the factions or restructuring the Popular Mobilization Forces represents a “red line” for the axis of resistance.

The sources said that Qaani stressed during those meetings the need to preserve the structure of the armed factions and not allow any measures that would diminish their influence within Iraq.

 In the same context, the sources indicated that US support for Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Zaidi came within a conditional approach aimed at reducing the influence of factions close to Iran, tightening control over their financial and economic networks, and imposing broader controls on their funding and activities within the country. https://1news-iq.net/مصادر-قاآني-أبلغ-قيادات-التنسيقي-والف/

Iraq Reviews Security Ministries, Examines Gulf Drone Allegations

2026-05-20 / 15:31  Shafaq News- Baghdad   Iraq’s ruling Coordination Framework (CF) discussed efforts to fill unresolved security ministries while examining Saudi and Emirati allegations that drones launched from Iraqi territory targeted the two Gulf states, a CF source told Shafaq News on Thursday.

 The discussions took place during a meeting held on Wednesday night attended by Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi, with discussions focusing on the Interior and Defense ministries alongside regional security accusations involving Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

 Iraq’s parliament granted confidence to Al-Zaidi’s government on May 14, approving 14 ministers out of 23 while delaying nine portfolios, including Interior and Defense, amid continuing disputes over cabinet allocations. CF leaders agreed to authorize Al-Zaidi to select candidates for the Interior and Defense Ministries from lists of 10 nominees submitted by supporting political groups and parties affiliated with the candidates, provided they possess proven military and security experience.

 Al-Zaidi will choose the final nominees for the two ministries from those lists, the source added, noting that names currently circulating for the posts were inaccurate. Leaders at the meeting also agreed to reassess the distribution of sovereign ministries based on the “official cost formula” approved by the team overseeing negotiations under Al-Zaidi’s supervision, adding that the cabinet allocation map could witness further changes.

 On the regional security file, the meeting discussed allegations by Saudi Arabia and the UAE that drones launched from Iraq had targeted the two countries. Leaders agreed to form a committee including security specialists and representatives from the Interior, Defense, National Security, and Foreign Ministries.

 One team will visit Saudi Arabia and the UAE to review evidence related to the alleged drone flights, particularly radar and early-warning data, in an effort to determine launch points and flight paths and identify the responsible party, while a second team will conduct investigations inside Iraq and gather information related to allegations that drones targeting Saudi Arabia and the UAE originated from Iraqi territory.

 “The committee’s work will focus on obtaining evidence before adopting any final position,” the source said, adding that conclusions would depend on technical and security findings presented by the relevant authorities.

 Saudi Arabia and the UAE earlier alleged that drones entered their airspace from Iraq, including an attack Abu Dhabi said targeted the Barakah nuclear power plant, while Riyadh announced intercepting drones approaching from the Iraqi direction. Iraq later condemned the attacks and announced technical and security coordination with Saudi Arabia and the UAE to review available evidence.

Iraq Parliament Demands Emergency Air Defense Budget After Gulf Drone Accusations

2026-05-20   Shafaq News- Baghdad    Iraq’s parliamentary Security and Defense Committee called on Wednesday for an “emergency budget” to strengthen the country’s air defenses following Gulf accusations that drone attacks against Saudi Arabia and the UAE originated from Iraqi territory. 

Committee member Yasser Watout told Shafaq News that the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE should provide “concrete evidence” supporting their recent accusations.

“The protection of Iraqi airspace is the responsibility of the Global Coalition,” Watout pointed out. 

He also questioned how such operations could occur without being detected, noting that Iraqi skies is monitored by US and Israeli aircraft as well as advanced surveillance systems and satellites, urging both countries to clarify whether the drones were launched from southern, central, or northern Iraq.

 He suggested that a “third party” could be behind the attacks in an attempt to fuel tensions between Iraq and Gulf countries.

 Earlier today, Iraq’s Ministerial Council for National Security ordered an investigation into the alleged drone attacks and warned of legal action against those responsible if the accusations are confirmed. The council also formed a special committee to coordinate with Saudi and Emirati authorities, while Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Ali Al-Zaidi instructed security agencies to take all necessary measures against any individuals or groups involved.

 On May 17, Saudi Arabia’s Defense Ministry announced that it had intercepted and destroyed three drones after they entered the kingdom’s airspace from Iraq, warning that Riyadh would take the necessary operational measures “at the appropriate time and place.”

 Later, the UAE Defense Ministry also revealed that it had intercepted six drones originating from Iraq over 48 hours targeting the Barakah Nuclear Plant.

 Iraq’s armed forces have relied on foreign defense procurement since the early 2000s, with recent efforts focused on rebuilding deterrence amid regional instability and increasing pressure to assert airspace sovereignty —particularly following repeated breaches during the 12-day war between Iran and Israel in 2025.

Some “Iraq News” Posted by Tishwash at TNT 5-21-2026

TNT:

Tishwash: A meeting at the Central Bank confirms the institution's neutrality and its role in supporting the budget.

 The Central Bank of Iraq held an expanded meeting on Tuesday (May 19, 2026) with representatives from several Iraqi media outlets, in the presence of the bank's governor, Ali Al-Alaq, to ​​discuss a range of financial and monetary issues related to the bank's role in supporting market stability and strengthening compliance and banking oversight procedures.

The meeting was attended by Saif Al-Hashemi, director of the Baghdad Today news agency, along with a number of other media colleagues.

Al-Allaq said during the meeting, which was attended by “Baghdad Today”, that the Central Bank is exercising its role with complete neutrality with regard to the general budget,” stressing that the bank’s responsibility is focused on controlling monetary policy and maintaining the stability of the exchange rate, in addition to managing foreign transactions and supervising banks, without interfering in the form of the budget or its political or economic options.

The governor explained that the central bank is working to create a balance between the planned deficit and the actual deficit through monetary policy tools, noting that the bank’s role in this regard depends on measuring liquidity, the size of issuances, and the level of monetary stability required to support the budget without putting pressure on the market.

Al-Allaq also reviewed the ongoing banking reform phases, which include strengthening compliance, developing payment systems, and improving oversight procedures for the banking sector, stressing that these steps are essential to prevent any practices that harm the market or affect the value of the currency locally.

Regarding financial stability, the Central Bank reassured attendees that the country's economic situation is "stable and under control," and that the measures taken during the past months have contributed to reducing volatility and strengthening confidence in the financial system.

The attendees raised a number of questions about the bank’s relationship with the budget and its role in managing the exchange rate, in addition to mechanisms for reducing speculation in the market, while the Central Bank affirmed its continued communication with the media to ensure clarity of information and avoid inaccurate reporting on financial matters.

This meeting comes amid escalating discussions about the budget deficit and the growing need for an effective monetary policy to mitigate the effects of regional and economic tensions, particularly given the Iraqi markets' vulnerability to the repercussions of the ongoing conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States, and its impact on local market activity.

The Central Bank also aims to clarify its media strategy to ensure that accurate information about monetary policy reaches citizens and those interested in economic affairs.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Awadi: Iraq is not an open arena for conflicts, and the government will take all measures to maintain the stability of the region.

 Government spokesman Bassem al-Awadi affirmed that "Iraq is not an open arena for conflicts...and the government will take all necessary measures to maintain the stability of the region."

In a televised statement, al-Awadi said, "The region is witnessing escalating tensions extending from Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria to the Gulf states," noting that "Iraq, as an Arab country and a neighbor to the countries of the region, is keen to listen to the concerns of its brothers."

He added, "The Iraqi government is working continuously to achieve positive results that contribute to calming the situation," clarifying that "Iraq is not an open arena, and some of the information circulating regarding security developments may contain inaccuracies or misinformation."

The spokesperson explained: "The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Ali al-Zaidi, is personally overseeing this matter and following up on the file directly. He is in contact with our brothers in the Arab countries and the Gulf states.

He has directed the formation of committees at the Ministry of Defense, Joint Operations Command, and military units deployed along the borders to communicate with our brothers to provide appropriate information for verification. If it is proven that any attack originated from within Iraq, the government will take all appropriate measures to preserve the sovereignty of Iraq, its neighbors, and the region." link

Tishwash:  An unprecedented financial crisis hits Iraq: A $5 billion gap threatens salaries.

 Financial and banking expert Mahmoud Dagher confirmed on Tuesday (May 19, 2026) that Iraq is currently experiencing its biggest financial and economic crisis since 2003, due to the severe deficit in oil revenues, which did not exceed one billion dollars this month, compared to an actual need of more than 6 billion dollars (equivalent to 8 trillion dinars) to cover the salaries of employees and retirees monthly.

Dagher confirmed, in an interview with journalist Ahmed Mulla Talal, which was followed by 964 Network , that there is no solution to the current crisis except resorting to “discounted transfers” to increase the internal debt by printing new money from the Central Bank and lending it to the Ministry of Finance.

This is a necessary measure that will lead to raising the internal debt from 100 trillion to nearly 140 trillion dinars. He warned that this path will inevitably lead to direct pressure on the foreign currency reserve and reduce it, expecting that the dollar exchange rate will take an upward trend in the local markets.

Internal "money creation": No withdrawals from reserves, but printing and borrowing

Dagher refuted the rumors circulating about the state resorting to direct withdrawals from foreign currency reserves, stressing that the mechanism currently in place is “issuing new money” from the central bank and lending it to the Ministry of Finance through debiting remittances via banks.

The banking expert explained that this measure, which was previously used during the era of former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, represents a process of creating local money, revealing that discounted transfers started steadily from 3 trillion and then jumped to 4 trillion, and are likely to rise to compensate for the absence of live oil revenues and to secure funds for citizens in the markets.

Indirect depletion... How will foreign currency reserves be affected?

Dagher warned that the real danger to the central bank’s reserves comes indirectly through the movement of liquidity in the market. When a citizen receives his salary in “printed” dinars, he goes to buy, and the merchant returns and asks the central bank for dollars, exchanging them for dinars.

He pointed out that the previous equation was based on the Ministry of Finance handing over dollars to the Central Bank to secure dinars, but now the Ministry of Finance does not have dollars, which puts full pressure on the foreign reserves and threatens to reduce them, recalling how this mechanism previously caused the reserves to drop from 60 billion to 35 billion dollars during previous crises.

The triad of “Al-Zaydi, Finance, and the Central Bank”: The desperate have no choice

The financial expert confirmed that this critical situation was on the decision table from the first day of the appointment of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, who rushed to hold an urgent meeting with the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Central Bank to develop solutions.

Dagher asserted that there is no alternative solution on the horizon for financing the state other than relying on Central Bank transfers to the Ministry of Finance to increase internal debt, considering that this measure is not an editorial error but rather the option of extreme necessity for which no economic expert in Iraq has a realistic alternative at the present time.

The dollar will rise and domestic debt will jump to nearly 140 trillion.

Dagher predicted that the dollar exchange rate would take an upward turn in the local markets during the coming period, noting that the rise would not be rapid or crazy because the central bank has sufficient reserves and a high adequacy ratio, but this balance is threatened with collapse if the war and its repercussions continue for another year at the same current pace.

Dagher concluded his economic vision by pointing out that Iraq’s internal debt, which previously stood at 94 trillion and has now reached 100 trillion, is strongly heading towards a threshold of between 130 and 140 trillion dinars, which puts the country’s fiscal policy in the eye of the storm.

The Ministry of Oil announced on Monday (May 18, 2026) the total of Iraqi oil exports during the month of April, saying that it amounted to 9 million and 884 thousand barrels, with revenues amounting to about one billion dollars, while Iraq’s oil exports before the US-Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz amounted to about 100 million barrels with revenues of up to 7 billion dollars, which means a loss of 6 billion dollars during last April.  link

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 5-19-26 Part 2

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 5-19-26  Part 2

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Now, what else is interesting about Iran? Remember the Iranian rial, R I A L, I believe that's still the name of their currency. I've heard that they have another name, that's the name that I know, R I A L, Iranian Rial.

Now today the rial is on Forex and being traded   today, they want to trade it up, they want to trade up to where it's not too far from the bank rate of the Iraqi dinar, because those two guys, being trading partners, neighbors, need to have a currency that's fairly close. Okay, now, how long that take to get there? Hard to say.

What is the.. what is the Iraqi Dinar? Don't have it right now. I know roughly what it would be, but it might take a few days for the Iranian Rial to get up to that.

Look, how what a positive that thing is.

Do you realize one of the pieces of information we got said that physical freedom and financial freedom will come to Iran today?

Physical freedom and financial freedom will come to Iran Tuesday.

I got that two days ago, so that's pretty interesting, and I believed it, and I'm still believing it now,

I think we are at the point now where everything is to begin.

I have heard most recently this morning that  exchanges  for us in Tier 4b would start. Listen to the language Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Notice I didn't say Thursday or Friday.  The message was clear. It said Wednesday, Thursday, and  Friday - that's tomorrow, day after tomorrow, and Friday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Today's Tuesday night.

So, what does that mean?

Does that mean we're about to be notified?

Let me take that conduct further.   We're also hearing that Zim holders, which they are us who are Zim holders, sovereigns, sovereigns that we, who have Zen notified first, and first And to exchange or redeem our zim first.

Now I learned this today,  so and this message said that this would occur in 24 hours, and that was as of this morning, which would put it possible is the keyword to receive those email notifications with toll-free number as early as tomorrow  for Zim holders.

They say, well, what do you mean? I'm saying that they know primarily who has Zimbabwe Zim  notes, they know that they know who emails now. They, if you've been gifted Zim, they don't necessarily know that they don't know that at all.

But I believe what's going to happen is they are going to target Zim holders initially, and it's quite possible that if we do get their notifications tomorrow or tomorrow morning or whatever, that we could possibly redeem that tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow evening.

In other words, we might get a head start on people that don't have Zoom.

Now, if you've got other currencies, like a lot of us do that have Zim, that's cool too. You'll still exchange those, but they want the Zim holders in first.

Imagine that  -- I never imagined that would happen   its totally new today, totally new. So we'll see if that holds up.

We'll see if we get them notified tomorrow, and if we do, and can we, can we set appointments through the 800 the call centers, which are AI operated initially – and the theory is that we'll go through AI and then get connected to the redemption center where our zip code indicates it's close to us based on the zip code that you enter theoretically on a keypad.

Theoretically, I don't know, guys. We have never done that before. We've never done this, and they haven't told us this. I'm just basing it on the information that we've been able to glean, so going to be quite an experience.

The theory is when you get to that person at the redemption center, as your call gets redirected, there, that you'll tell a human being, a real person, and be able to have your appointment verified, and then they'll figure out whether they're going to text you or tell you directions. I'm not sure how they're going to do that yet. I don't know how they're going to but I'm sure there's a secure way that they're planning on doing so.

Are we going to get started for Zim holders to get notified tomorrow? Is this a, is this a staggered start for Zim holders going first and other currency owners going afterwards,

Aa day, two days?   I don't know, guys, you realize you're lucky to get what I'm getting right now.

I have questions, just like you guys do.

I try to pose questions too, and sometimes I get an answer, and sometimes I don't.

So it's going to be a mystery, a little bit, but it's also kind of part of the journey.

I think it's important that we have fun through this journey.  Just don't sweat it, just enjoy it, enjoy it.

What I'm saying is, it looks now, have I got any late updated intel yet tonight?   No.

Later, maybe after the call. Yes, but right now, today's Tuesday, you know, guys, we may have a celebration called Thursday .

We might not, we don't know yet. We'll have to see. I hate the expression, let's just wait and see. Remember that. Oh, we'll just have to wait and see. Well, you know, we're kind of, kind of tired of waiting, but it is part of the journey. Put it that way. This is part of the journey. Let's just enjoy the journey and enjoy the ride. Once you get to the destination, it's all over.

Then you look back and go, wow, man, that was a journey. Bruce has been on this journey for 22 years, done the big call for 15 years, and yeah, and you know what, it'll be a restart,

like Sue's class or pop-up class today. It's going to be a restart, and it will be.

It'll be a 2.0 for a lot of us, and then we'll just enjoy that journey, we'll enjoy that journey, hopefully a lot more, we'll have a new journey when we get in and out of med heads, that'll be a cool thing, looking forward to that,

so that is what I had to give you guys this morning  -- I would like for us to keep Iran in our prayers, keep new leadership, let's speak new leadership that is something we can work with in  Iran into existence okay let’s do that quote. When I pray us out - do bring us out tonight, because you know that that's important.

It's really important. President Trump's agenda is terrific, and so far he's batten 1000 I would not doubt that he will just absolutely, when we get this thing, and we start moving after the after the RV hits, and we start moving and shaking, it's going to be terrific.

And we're looking forward to celebrating the 250th anniversary of our nation.

You know, we're going to have a lot of things happening between this week and july 4, I think a lot of things are going to roll out for us, I think  EBS will roll out, I think our NESARA will kick in, learn more about what we're getting from NESARA -  I think our Doge payments have come out, our R and R will come out at the redemption center, and we'll get our, our tariff dividends. We'll see what happens on all of that. It's all secondary and tertiary, to our redemption of Zim and our exchanges.

So this is all this is, this could be --- and  redemption centers will, in some areas, based on demographics, could be open for two months.

Some will be, some will shut down after 12 – 14  days by the end of the month, but some will stay open longer in certain areas, like Florida, Tampa, Orlando, Miami, some of these higher population cities,  will probably  you know, stay open longer.

Atlanta  -- I don’t know guys, I just think I think you want to set your appointment and get in. By the way, obviously, if we do, the zim holders have priority, they want us in first, and don't hesitate, set your appointment and get in there, get on in there.

And that's basically what I wanted to say tonight -- I'm kind of excited, and I'm also ready to go. I just.. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens tomorrow in the way of emails. Now, remember, this is my little caveat:

We've been told things are close before we have been been told things that I've put up dates and that I've been telling you what I've been told, that's all I do is pass on what I can that I've been told.

So hopefully this one will come through in the next three days. Remember that the information said exchanges will take place  Wednesday – Thursday and Friday this week, so that's good enough for me.

Let's see if we get notifications tomorrow. Now, if you don't get notified tomorrow  don't sweat it if you're a Zoom owner, and you do to see what the instructions are, and if we get our notifications, with the toll free number  we will put it on Big Call universe.com and you can see it right there, Canada, same thing, eh? If we get a number for Canada, we'll put it on the site.

Now, I can't speak to the rest of the world, because, because we're not going to have numbers for you, but you'll know what to do when this goes. The word will get out pretty quickly. It'll probably take five minutes to get the word out online,

But I think they want to take care of the two and a half to 3 million zim holders  first, and maybe we've got 30 million currency holders total in the US, not talking about Canada right now, just in the US, and if that's the case, then they want to get us knocked out first, and then the currency holders will come after that - that don't have zim that don't have,

but let's do this. Let's go ahead and believe for this to happen. Let's pray this call out, and let's keep Iran and a positive  new government to be formed in Iran to take place right away.

We thank you that President Trump has held back a further attack, and that with the encouragement of the other nations in the Middle East, hopefully no more war will occur, and that we will have peace in the region. Thank you for the peace of Jerusalem and the peace of the Middle East at large.

Amen. And amen.  Thank you guys for praying along with me on that, keep an eye on your emails, and we'll talk to you Thursday, and hopefully we'll have a celebration call. All right, everybody have a great day tomorrow, and God bless you all. Bye.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Wednesday Evening 5-20-26

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Xi and Putin Deepen Strategic Alliance as Global Power Blocs Continue Realigning

China and Russia moved closer on energy, trade, and geopolitical coordination during high-level summit talks in Beijing, reinforcing the accelerating shift toward a multipolar world order.

 Overview

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin held major summit talks in Beijing today centered on expanding long-term cooperation in energy, trade, and strategic coordination.

The meeting comes at a pivotal moment for the global economy as nations increasingly reposition themselves amid rising geopolitical fragmentation, sanctions pressure, supply chain realignment, and growing instability in energy markets.

The summit also carried major symbolic importance because it followed closely after President Donald Trump’s recent visit to Beijing, highlighting China’s emerging role as a central diplomatic and economic power capable of engaging multiple rival blocs simultaneously.

Key Developments

1. China and Russia Reaffirm Strategic Partnership

Xi and Putin both emphasized the strength of the China-Russia relationship, describing their partnership as a stabilizing force in an increasingly fragmented global system.

Xi called for a more balanced international order and greater cooperation outside traditional Western-led structures, while Putin praised the growing political trust between Moscow and Beijing.

The summit reinforced that both nations continue strengthening ties in response to ongoing tensions with the United States and broader Western alliances.

The relationship increasingly extends beyond diplomacy into finance, energy security, industrial cooperation, and long-term geopolitical coordination.

2. Energy Cooperation and Power of Siberia 2 Move to the Forefront

One of the most important topics discussed was the proposed Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, which would dramatically expand Russian natural gas exports to China.

The project is viewed as strategically critical for Moscow as Russia continues redirecting energy exports away from Europe following years of sanctions and political confrontation tied to the Ukraine conflict.

If completed, the pipeline could transport up to 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually from Russia’s Arctic gas fields into China through Mongolia.

Energy cooperation between both countries is becoming increasingly important as instability in the Middle East and Strait of Hormuz continues disrupting global energy markets.

3. China Expands Its Influence as a Global Power Broker

The diplomatic optics surrounding the summit were closely watched internationally.

By hosting both Trump and Putin within days of each other, Beijing demonstrated its growing ability to position itself at the center of global diplomacy during a period of rising geopolitical fragmentation.

Chinese media portrayed the meetings as evidence of China’s growing leadership role in shaping the future global order.

Analysts noted that Beijing increasingly seeks to balance relationships with rival powers while simultaneously strengthening its own long-term strategic leverage.

4. Trade and Financial Realignment Continue Accelerating

China and Russia also discussed expanding bilateral trade, investment cooperation, and long-term economic integration.

Although trade growth slowed last year, both countries are now seeking to deepen partnerships across:

• energy,

• infrastructure,

• manufacturing,

• financial systems,

• and strategic commodities.

The broader trend reflects accelerating efforts among major powers to reduce vulnerability to Western sanctions, diversify trade systems, and strengthen regional economic alliances.

Many analysts view the China-Russia partnership as one of the central pillars of the emerging multipolar economic system.

Why It Matters

Today’s summit highlights how global power structures continue evolving away from the highly centralized Western-led economic system that dominated previous decades.

The world is increasingly shifting toward competing regional alliances built around:

• energy security,

• trade corridors,

• strategic resources,

• industrial policy,

• and financial independence.

China and Russia are positioning themselves as long-term partners within that transition.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders and global reset observers, the summit reinforces several major trends:

• the rise of multipolar economic structures,

• expanding non-Western trade cooperation,

• growing efforts to reduce exposure to sanctions,

• and increasing alignment between major commodity-producing nations.

The deepening China-Russia relationship also supports ongoing discussions surrounding alternative payment systems, reserve diversification, and reduced dependence on traditional Western financial channels.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Multipolar Economic Realignment

China and Russia continue building deeper economic structures outside traditional Western-centered systems.

• Pillar 2: Energy-Based Strategic Alliances

Long-term energy agreements are becoming foundational to geopolitical influence and financial stability.

• Pillar 3: Sanctions Resistance and Trade Diversification

Nations facing Western pressure are increasingly creating parallel trade and financial relationships to reduce vulnerability.

• Pillar 4: Global Governance Transition

China is increasingly positioning itself as a central diplomatic and economic mediator in the evolving international order.

The Beijing summit reflects a broader transformation where energy, trade, and geopolitics are converging into a new global power structure.

Ross: This is the Reset of the World Economy

Ross: This is the Reset of the World Economy

5-20-2026

The fact that CBI is bullposting their cooperation with the US government is MEGA bullish for your IQD notes sitting in your safe.

This is how every IQD investor reads this.

Iraqi Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alan said Tuesday that there are plans to revalue the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar, stressing that Iraqi funds are not subject to US sanctions. Al-Alan also announced upcoming talks with the US Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department, notating that both institutions have praised the role and performance of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI).

All jokes aside…

Ok ok don’t start FUDing my replies just yet.

No devalue = stability locked

No sanctions on funds = clean money confirmed

Fed & Treasury talks = direct US engagement

US praise for CBI = institutional greenlight

ZERO RED FLAGS since Iraq’s newly formed government was approved.

New PM Ali al-Zaidi sworn in days ago.

100-day corruption cleanup clock just started.

This CBI drop lands right on top of it.

While Zaidi handles the political housecleaning…

CBI just reinforced the monetary foundation.

Clear runway.

Rocket fuel into summer with endless convergence toward America’s 250th and beyond.

Your 100-day corruption cleanup window lands ~Aug 27.

US troops finish leaving Kurdistan in September.

Kim Clement window: Aug / Sept / Oct for the banking miracle.

Convergence is absolutely spooky at this point, there are no coincidences.

Zoom News:  Iraqi Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq said Tuesday that there are no plans to devalue the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar, stressing that Iraqi funds are not subject to any US sanctions. Al-Alaq also announced upcoming talks with the US Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department, noting that both institutions have praised the role and performance of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI).

More on the 100 day deadline corruption cleanup.

Ross:  “Otherwise we’ll stay there.” September: Last US military stationed in Kurdistan leaves Iraq for good. New Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi has a 100-day window to dismantle US-blacklisted factions and open major corruption files. 100 days from now lands on: August 27, 2026. Kim Clement prophesied to look toward August, September, and October for a miracle in banking & the markets — watch the oil (where America ultimately becomes independent from Middle East oil). Convergence is an understatement. IQD RV lore is literally going haywire right now.

Watch on X: https://twitter.com/i/status/2056869992097014223

Why is the CBI suddenly announcing meetings with the Federal Reserve and US Treasury right now???

IQD is going to revalue and to be honest I’m shocked the CBI is giving such a huge signal about it.

Kevin Warsh was confirmed as the new Fed Chair on May 13.

Powell’s term ended May 15.

This CBI announcement drops days later.

Meanwhile the Iran War kicked off Feb 28… and suddenly we get a new reform-focused Iraqi PM, a 100-day corruption cleanup mandate, CBI saying “no devalue” + “no sanctions on funds,” public US praise, and scheduled high-level meetings with the new Fed team + Treasury.

Funny the Iran War coincidentally creates this level of rapid progress and positive signaling from Iraq’s new government and central bank.

These meetings are about real technical work: banking reforms, reserve management, dollar liquidity, and deeper financial integration.

And here’s the kicker — Iraq’s cashless deadline for all state institutions is July 2026. That lines up almost perfectly with the Clarity Act timeline, which sits roughly 17 weeks from when the Iran War started.

At this point the amount of times I’m repeating myself on these different factors is comical… but I can’t help it when unlimited amounts of new convergences keep showing up.

New Fed Chair.
New Iraqi government.
Cashless push.
Crypto clarity legislation.
Iraq suddenly in direct talks with the Fed & Treasury.

All moving in the same window heading into America’s 250th.

The CBI is meeting with the Fed and Treasury because they’re locking in alignment, stability, and technical readiness while the region forces everyone to pick sides and clean house.

This is how you build the runway for the revaluation of IQD.

Basing this on Treasury Vault’s current prices:

If you buy $1,000 USD in IQD right now, that gets you ≈ 1,036,269 IQD.

This is based on their sale price of $965 per million (mixed denomination notes, on sale from $985). Some circulated bundles are running around $940 per million.

No one can predict the future exchange rate of IQD vs USD.

We look to what happened in Kuwait.

We look at Iraq’s true wealth as a country based on their oil.

We look to the future of a Level Playing Field.

A Golden Age is coming.

XRP ignites the GCR.

Hyperinflated currencies will sink or swim once the Bank of London is starved and the Fed defaults on their debt.

I cannot throw out an exact rate.

I just know 1300 per USD is BS.

Currency Reset Update, Parts 1 and 2

Currency Reset Update, Part 1

Liberty Crusade Official:‍ ‍5-20-20265-

The global financial landscape is currently navigating a period of profound transformation. Recent discussions within the economic and geopolitical spheres suggest that we are moving toward a significant “reset” of the international monetary system.

For decades, the world has operated primarily under a fiat-based structure, but emerging trends indicate a decisive shift toward de-globalization and de-dollarization. This transition reflects a growing interest in returning to an economic framework grounded in intrinsic value—specifically one backed by commodities such as gold, silver, natural resources, and essential agricultural products.

A central component of this evolving narrative is the potential revaluation of specific national currencies, with a particular focus on nations like Iraq and Vietnam.

Analysts pointing to these regions highlight their abundant natural resources, strengthening manufacturing sectors, and increasing political sovereignty as key indicators of their readiness for a larger role in the global market.

As these nations stabilize their internal governance and expand their international trade agreements, they are positioned as prime examples of how localized economic strength can lead to a more balanced and integrated global financial system.

Beyond individual currencies, the broader geopolitical climate is undergoing a strategic realignment. There is a visible push toward prioritizing national sovereignty and renegotiating long-standing trade agreements to better reflect modern economic realities. This includes efforts to bolster leadership within the Western Hemisphere while navigating the complexities of influence from major Eastern powers. Proponents of this shift argue that a return to principled diplomacy and a focus on regional stability—particularly in the Middle East—is essential for creating a secure environment where new economic systems can flourish.

The transition also highlights the changing role of precious metals and digital assets. Silver, in particular, is gaining attention due to massive projected investments in global manufacturing, which could significantly drive demand and value.

Simultaneously, the integration of digital assets like XRP and Bitcoin into the financial fabric suggests a future where technology and tangible commodities work in tandem to replace traditional debt-based models. This “new economy” aims to prioritize transparency, intrinsic value, and decentralized stability over the volatility of the old fiat system.

Ultimately, navigating these complex changes requires a commitment to education and personal responsibility. Understanding the historical, spiritual, and economic foundations of these shifts is vital for anyone looking to participate in the emerging order.

By staying informed through dedicated research and analysis, individuals can better align themselves with a world that is increasingly moving toward the restoration of traditional values and economic sovereignty.

For those seeking a deeper dive into these transformative events, the Liberty Crusade Official YouTube channel offers comprehensive insights into the future of global finance.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 5-19-26  Part 1

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It's Tuesday, May 19th and you're listening to the Big Call - Thanks for coming back for us yet again.  We're excited, at least I am excited about tonight's call, and you'll know more about it as we get further into the call, but I just want to thank you all for coming back.

Sorry about the interruptions. I had a little interruption there on my phone, but let's take this and let's go into Intel, and let's cover a few things that were brought to me basically yesterday and today, one of which, let's talk about what Sue's point was at the end of her segment, somebody that asked her to have me discuss the NDAs, the non-disclosure agreements

My understanding, as of the last discussion of NDAs, was that Zim holders are the only ones in currency exchange that will have to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and I think the reason is because the value of the Zim is going to be so high that they want us to clam up about it, stay quiet, our NDAs are going to be dependent on how you appear to the people that are redeeming this, the Zim bonds that you have.

They're going to say, well, this guy's pretty sharp, or not so sharp, or I don't know, he looks like he might go off and tell everybody in the world, you know, they might be a could be 30 day -  a 60 day, could be a 90, could be 120 day NDA.

I've heard 90, maybe would be the most, but there could be some exceptions, and if you really say, "Listen, I'm not gonna say a thing about it, let me quiet. blah blah, maybe, maybe yours would be 30 or 60 days, but the agreement is an agreement that you signed, and believe me, I have not seen one to know what it says, and they kept updating these NDAs for all the other people that are under these already bond pay masters, um redemption center leaders and staff bank employees, all of these people have signed fairly recent new NDAs, non-disclosure agreements.

Now we'll sign them, and that'll be good, but if you have just regular, let's just call it Dinar, Dong, Afghani, those currencies, and some of the others, you won't be under NDA, from what I understand, you will not, okay? Zim holders will, okay, so be prepared for that if you have Zim. 

So the other point that was made to me today was that some people have seen, have seen something about, well, you need to have this check, or this check that will allow you to exchange your currency, but to be six months after everybody else starts, or some kind of noise like that. It's just plain bogus. It's just another piece of noise that's out there that is incorrect. There's no special check. There's nothing that that you have to have other than your currency

Now. When you go after your appointment time has been set, when you go into the redemption center, okay, you will have to show a proof of your address where you live, so it'd be a utility bill, a gas bill, an electric bill, maybe even your cell phone bill. Something with your address on it. If you have two of them, take two of them. If you have one, take one.

You need ID. You need photo ID, so your driver's license, your passport is a good one, student ID for the plus government ID.

There's several of ID, so your library card will not do it. Sorry, no, I'm just kidding. Don't worry about a library card, but take, take that with you, and your currency. Don't forget to take your currency, have it organized.

I've got, I've got an organized type of currency and denomination of that currency, so it should be really easy to slap it in the De La Rue machine. Bruce, why do you say that -- because it's French, du de la la la la, are you? E do the rue, all right. The Delarue machine  slam it in there, it'll count it, verify it, boom, it'll give you a total for each currency, and they probably have to change the setting for each currency that they verify, they count and verify,

So that takes care of the NDAs, and that check, that's bogus. The idea, what, taking a check, the only thing I'm not going to say what it makes me think of, but that's not even true. Now the other piece of bogus information was brought to me, and that was the emails that went out, about 17,500 emails went out to people that had said something in the subject line about redemption centers, quantum financial system appointments, blah blah blah, something like that, and it was BOGUS  it was NOT  coming from US Treasury.

It's not coming from the redemption center, it's just plain a bogus email. They found the guy that did this, they caught him, and he's been arrested. But if you have that in your inbox and it didn't already go to spam – send it to spam  have spam  delete it, put it in a trash can, trash it, don't even click on it. Why would they send all those out?

Now these are not official emails that we're looking for. This is a bogus email – that means not real  that's not real false.

Okay, those went out so that they can grab your IP address and sell your IP addresses for up to a lot of money - So be very careful when you open your emails, and do I know what the header line is that we are going to receive from Wells Fargo?  No, I had it  -- I had what I thought it was – I was about  to tell you, but something changed it.

They're going to change it, and theoretically they're sending you an email that will not go to your Spam so that you'll see it, it'll be valid  inboxed, and what we're going to try to do is when we get the correct 800 number, this is assuming that we can do this, and I believe we can. We'll put it on the landing page of Big Call universe.com and have it for you. If we can get the number for Canada, we will for Canada as well, because we think Canada will have a different number than we do in the in the United States

Now  Let's see, where else do I want to take that, —Ok --  so we do not know what that header is going to say, so if you're not sure, I would say in a first couple of days check Big Call universe.com and see if we yet. I will give it to Bob  - he will work with Riley. We'll try to get it on the website as soon as we possibly can, as soon as we can verify that it is the real McCoy, the real number, the correct number. And if we can get Canada, we'll do the same thing for our Canadian friends to the north.

Okay,  let's see. So that should take care of that aspect.

In these last days of this, they said it would get chaotic, you could get a little crazy. Just keep your peace, eat grounded, Sue said, and let's just kind of let it come to us.  And don’t freak out.

Work on your breathing like Sue is work on your breathing. Breathe through your nose, four seconds in, hold it for four, fail for four or five, if you get now work on it- work on your breathing

Now  Let's take this thing into another direction -

I want you guys to realize that when I committed to the big call 15 years ago to take us all to the threshold of the RV  I meant it, and I'm still here, right? So that's not changing. What about after this goes, after we've got numbers, after we have gone to the redemption centers to redeem our zim and exchange our currency , see all what about that?

What about after that. Well, you guys know I have 4 main, projects – Rebuild  America --  Rebuild International --  Veterans Retreat Network and Pastoral Retreat Network. Those are my four projects, and what best you guys to do for rebuild America is helped me rebuild America throughout the United States with approximately 5000 people that are volunteering to help in your particular area of interest, whether it's a city - town or a community, a rural area could be in our city, could be a small town, could be a community, it could be where you're living or where you're not living, but maybe something you know about that needs help, that needs rebuilding, that needs life.

And so what I'm looking to do is connect all of us that are willing to do this regionally by region and have some regional get togethers and get some regional leaders like in that region, for example, get together with the regional leaders and go ahead and go about setting up a template for everybody to try to follow – we have similar concepts, not exactly the same business building types or businesses, or whatever.

It's going to be customized. You would help me customize it for your particular area of interests throughout the country, and the idea is, if you in a certain area, you know it, you know what it needs, you know what used to be there, essentially bird dog it and find out what is going that would help that area, what would rejuvenate it, what would make it viable again, you know,

I remember driving through Mississippi, so many small towns heading on down to Florida, going that way, driving around, and you know they're dead. You know, you can see where an old video store was. Oh, the bank is still there.

Oh, you know what I mean? Is that a general store? Is that, you know, you got like a quick trip, some kind of a convenience store, a bank, but you know, where's the business? Where's the life? You know, where the restaurants, or there might be a diner.

In other words, we want to revitalize America and create businesses with jobs, opportunity for people all of that. Okay, I know you guys know what I'm talking about

Now. Rebuild International is a little bit different, because we're talking about working in areas that have been hit by hurricanes, you know, that might still need help, like the Bahamas.

Obviously, we can do some things on the Dominican Republic. Haiti is kind of on the back burner, but still an area of interest, and these are our countries that we can help. Jamaica, after that last hurricane that hit Jamaica. Yep, We have contacts in most of these areas, but we'll see how that comes together.

All right, so is the big call, going to be doing calls every Tuesday and Thursday night. I don't plan to, but I do plan to record like a podcast or recording might be just me, could be Bob and I. Sue might jump in, we'll see. That’s to be determined   you have to wait and see --  

If I do a recorded call, it might be 20 -30 minutes, could be longer, but it'd be one that I would, I would send out to your email with a link that you would click and listen to it, probably just audio, probably not video, but just audiences, you can say, oh, I see what Bruce is up to. Okay, I get it. Okay, yeah. Okay, I got it. Oh, the website’s been created. Okay, good. Oh, what's that going to do? Oh, we're going to have a, we're going to have a, an interactive ability to answer some questions, simple questions on a questionnaire to find out what our interests are for Rebuild America, where we are, what our skills are, what our talents are, what our vision is. Questions, cool, easy, easy peasy. We can do that, and we'll be doing that, and let you guys know when we build out these sites.

Okay, so that's going to be the plan.

Veterans Retreat Network, I've got another concept for that, that I think I've told you guys about. We're going to be working with existing veterans retreats and locations throughout the country to try to strengthen them, see what they need, whether they need funding for it, whether they need to help improve their situation, and then can we create an interactive type website that would be the go to something a veteran goes to it, he says, oh, there's a retreat in the one state over, or here's a retreat in Florida, oh, here's one there, here's one in Maine, what about that one, in other words, you might fit, they might try to say, well, I want to go to that retreat and spend whatever time and be under whatever program they've got that would be really good, so we'll connect with these, we'll vet these places out, and that way we don't have to reinvent the wheel, we can work with what's already out there and maybe embellish it, maybe improve it, and help them to do what they do best, that's what I'm taking on Veterans Retreat Network, but we'll see, it's still in its infancy stage.

Pastoral retreats like to work with some retreat areas where pastors and their families can come, evangelists, missionaries, pastors reset. get a reset, get some R and R, just basically get the planning done, and maybe give them some encouragement, and maybe even some help. Okay, and those are determined where they would be, but that's another thing

So those are my four basic projects

So now what we do from here is we take these concepts and we bring them in a short presentation that has redone. Sue has created 30,000 or so projects with the interest that they call universe has had over the last 10 years, and this was one of the first things that she did helpBig Call Universe , and to fine tune these projects. Back then, we thought we had five to eight minutes to present. We might not have the three to five minutes to present.

The main thing you're looking to do create jobs  - employment opportunities, a have a project with longevity, so that you can see it to completion to fruition. That's why they want Zim holders with the med beds with dire need to go into the meds first, because they want us to be around long enough to see 100 150 200 years, our project completely finished, or at least at a stage where we can sit back and go, that was quite a deal, look at that, look what we were able to accompliish

 let God tell, look what we, or look what God was able to do through us. Say it that way, and that's really good. So that's why Zim holders, especially those with dire need, are going to get the first shot going in the Med beds after they have redeemed them and changed any currencies that they have.

Okay, so that's looking very good right now, very good.

I said I'm hearing the second hand. I have not personally been to a med that center yet, but I'm looking forward to it shortly. And I know that they've been working on military, I know a lot of the children that were trafficked – that were / have been rescued, and I've heard a number of approximately 2 million of these trafficked children have gone through the med beds already.

It's a scary high number, but that's that's what we're getting. The med beds are ready to go - all we need to do is get our exchanges done, and then we can go from there.

Now, what about redemption centers?

Redemption centers all throughout the United States, and in the lower part of Canada, where the population of Canada is okay. A ton of these redemption centers, there are banks also, as you guys know. There's a consolidation of banks that's been going on too.  

So, some bank branches will close, and some will say open and be financial centers.

You know that's cool too, but initially those of us who are zim holders will go to the redemption centers only because banks are not going to be allowed to redeem Zim that's why the redemption center is so important, and they want to see you face to face when you go in there.

They want to see who this person is  - that’s part of the KYC. Know your customer, know your client, that protocol.

We'll get and it'll be great. It'll be, it'll go so fast, it'll make your head spin 30 to 40 minutes tops to do currencies, set up new accounts, get your quantum card, set a quantum account, move money from your quantum account from the exchange into your primary wealth account, and then set up whatever other accounts, I don't think we have time to set one one Wells account, but you can come back later in a few days and set up more accounts with your  wealth manager or with your Premier Banker with Wells Premier Premier Banker, so that'll be something we're trying to do,  and let's see where we, where we are now.

Now, as of today, we should have rates on both bank screens, and now I'm going to change that. Never mind.

Tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday afternoon, we will have new rates on both bank screens and redemption center screens tomorrow afternoon, and that might be afternoon, or it could be after 2pm I don't know exactly what time, but they put it generally as tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday afternoon 20th  of May.

New rates on screens, and a lot of times they'll talk about new rates, they'll talk about Dinar, Iraqi dnar.

There are other countries that have the dinar, but Iraq is the one that we are mostly concentrating on.

However, what is the status on Iran?

One thing about Iran, the big call was carried last Thursday's big call was carried in Iran  last Thursday's call with which was cool. I was glad to hear that, and I was glad to hear today that President Trump has held back from going in for a further, a further attack on Iraq, and he said in his own words that I heard today that he was within an hour of going in for another group of attacks, and it would have been bigger and worse than what they've already received so far.

Now, of course, we're praying that that would not happen. We've been praying that the let's call new leadership in Iraq and Iran would get together, so that this

peace process could go on, that the ceasefire would continue, and there would be no more attacks, and I think that that is where we are. That's what President Trump really wants.

He wants them to work it out, and he had a call from at least four or five countries in the Middle East. He heard from the UAE, United Arab Emirates, UAE, he heard from Qatar. Notice it's not Qatar, the insect spray, it's Qatar.

Okay, he heard from, let's see, Saudi Arabia, I believe he mentioned Kuwait, and there might have been one or two other countries that have urged President Trump to hold back and let this peace process work its way out, and I think that's wisdom to do that and I hope that is the case, and that that continues, and that we move on from there.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Wednesday Afternoon 5-20-26

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

China Tightens Grip on Rare Earths as U.S. Supply Chain Vulnerabilities Deepen

Beijing’s defense of rare earth export controls is intensifying concerns over global supply chains, industrial security, and the future balance of economic power.

 Overview

China has reaffirmed that its rare earth and critical mineral export controls are both legal and necessary, while signaling limited willingness to cooperate with the United States on supply chain concerns.

The announcement comes as global industries increasingly struggle with shortages and uncertainty surrounding access to strategic minerals essential for defense systems, semiconductors, electric vehicles, aerospace manufacturing, and advanced energy technologies.

The issue is becoming far more than a trade dispute. It now reflects the broader geopolitical struggle between the world’s two largest economies over industrial dominance, technological leadership, and long-term control of critical supply chains.

Key Developments

1. China Defends Rare Earth Export Restrictions

China’s Ministry of Commerce stated today that the country’s export controls on rare earth materials are fully consistent with Chinese law and are intended to safeguard national security and economic interests.

The restrictions, first expanded during escalating trade tensions with Washington, remain in effect despite recent diplomatic discussions between both nations.

Chinese officials emphasized that exports for approved civilian purposes may still be reviewed and authorized, but Beijing made clear the controls themselves are not being removed.

The announcement reinforces China’s growing willingness to use critical minerals as a strategic economic lever in global negotiations.

2. The United States Faces Growing Supply Chain Pressure

U.S. officials continue expressing concern over restricted access to rare earth materials such as yttrium, scandium, dysprosium, and terbium, all of which are essential for advanced manufacturing and military applications.

These materials are critical for:

• jet engines,

• missile guidance systems,

• electric vehicles,

• wind turbines,

• AI infrastructure,

• semiconductors,

• and power generation technologies.

American manufacturers have warned that prolonged supply disruptions could increase production costs, delay industrial projects, and weaken competitiveness in key strategic industries.

The situation highlights a growing vulnerability within Western supply chains that remain heavily dependent on Chinese mineral processing capacity.

3. Rare Earths Are Emerging as a New Economic Weapon

China currently dominates much of the global rare earth refining and processing market, giving Beijing enormous influence over industries tied to modern technology and energy systems.

Analysts increasingly view rare earth access as comparable to oil leverage during previous geopolitical eras.

Rather than using tariffs alone, countries are now competing through:

• export controls,

• industrial policy,

• technology restrictions,

• and supply chain realignment.

This marks a major transition away from the highly globalized economic environment that dominated previous decades.

4. Managed Cooperation Masks Deeper Strategic Competition

Despite the tensions, both Washington and Beijing signaled interest in maintaining dialogue to avoid a full-scale supply chain breakdown.

Recent trade discussions suggest both sides recognize the risks of uncontrolled escalation, especially given how interconnected the global economy remains.

However, behind the diplomacy, both nations continue accelerating long-term strategies designed to reduce dependence on one another.

The United States is investing heavily in domestic mining and alternative supply chains, while China continues strengthening control over critical resources and industrial infrastructure.

Why It Matters

The rare earth dispute reflects a much larger transformation underway in the global economy.

The world is moving away from an era driven primarily by low-cost globalization and toward one increasingly shaped by:

• strategic resource competition,

• national security priorities,

• industrial self-sufficiency,

• and geopolitical economic blocs.

Critical minerals are now becoming central to economic power in much the same way oil shaped global influence throughout the twentieth century.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders and global reset observers, today’s developments reinforce several major trends:

• nations are increasingly weaponizing trade and resources,

• global supply chains are fragmenting,

• industrial policy is replacing pure free-market globalization,

• and strategic commodities are becoming more politically controlled.

As nations compete for control over energy, minerals, and technology infrastructure, the global financial system may continue shifting toward a more fragmented and multipolar structure.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Strategic Commodity Control

Rare earth minerals are becoming a foundational pillar of geopolitical and economic leverage in the modern era.

• Pillar 2: De-Globalization Accelerates

Supply chain fragmentation is accelerating as nations prioritize security and self-sufficiency over maximum efficiency.

• Pillar 3: Industrial Realignment

Countries are increasingly redesigning industrial systems around domestic resilience and trusted alliances rather than global interdependence.

• Pillar 4: Multipolar Economic Competition

The U.S.-China rivalry is accelerating the transition toward competing economic spheres with separate supply chains, financial networks, and strategic priorities.

Control over critical resources is rapidly becoming one of the defining power struggles of the emerging global financial order.

Reset Intelligence: Iraq, the Case for Revaluation

Reset Intelligence: Iraq, the Case for Revaluation

5-20-2026

Reset Intelligence: IRAQ. The Case for Revaluation

By David E. Atterton | Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

Iraq does not revalue because somebody decides to. Iraq revalues because the conditions underneath the announcement line up.

The conditions are signed, dated, and on the public record. Walk them yourself.

The Question Landing In My Inbox Every Day

For the past two weeks the same question has landed in my inbox from new members signing up to a free Reset Intelligence account. How is it actually possible that Iraq can revalue the IQD?

The answer is not my opinion. It is a verified stack of signed contracts, dated court rulings, customs system deadlines, and central bank balance sheet moves. All of it sits on the public record. None of it requires trust. All of it requires patience.

What follows is the architecture in the order it stacks. Receipts on every claim.

Trump, $35 Billion, And The Arithmetic That Has To Resolve

January 2020. The Iraqi parliament had just voted to expel US forces after the Soleimani strike. A reporter asked President Trump how the United States planned to recover its costs if it left. The verbatim exchange, on camera:

Trump: “We have a lot of their money right now. We have a lot of their money. We have $35 billion of their money right now sitting in an account. And I think they’ll agree to pay. I think they’ll agree to pay. Otherwise, we’ll stay there.”

The $35 billion sitting in an account is Iraqi oil revenue held at the New York Federal Reserve. A sitting US President stated in public that the US Treasury views Iraqi sovereign wealth as collectible, and that the means to collect is military presence.

At today’s official rate of 1,310 IQD per USD, $35 billion sits as roughly 45.85 trillion Iraqi dinars. The arithmetic of repayment, alongside the arithmetic of every IMF programme, every World Bank facility, and every US Treasury sanctions calendar, only resolves cleanly if the underlying currency stops trading at one-tenth of a US cent.

The architecture being built right now is the mechanism that makes that resolution possible.

$16 Trillion In The Ground – The Iraqi Government’s Own Number

In 2025 the Prime Minister’s financial advisor Mazhar Mohammed Saleh placed Iraq’s untapped mineral and energy wealth at $16 trillion USD. That figure ranks Iraq 9th globally for natural resource wealth. The number comes from the Iraqi government itself, not from a Western consultancy projection.

• Oil – 145 billion barrels of proved reserves, 5th largest in the world, 8% of global reserves. An additional 8.8 billion barrel discovery announced in Najaf in May 2026.

• Natural gas – multi-trillion cubic feet of associated and non-associated reserves, historically flared at the wellhead because midstream capture infrastructure was never built. That gap is now being closed.

• Sulfur – world’s largest reserves, over 600 million tonnes at Mishraq near Mosul.

• Phosphate – 2nd globally after Morocco. 5 billion tonnes of proven reserves. Akashat alone holds 1.7 billion tonnes, 9% of global reserves.

• Strategic minerals – thorium, uranium, lithium and copper MOUs signed with international firms. The Zagros range carries copper, gold, and rare earth occurrences that remain underexplored.

• CBI gold – 162.7 metric tonnes by February 2025. Gold is now 28% of total CBI reserves. Foreign currency reserves stand at approximately $97.5 billion.

Before contracts, before customs, before any Hydrocarbon Law signature, Iraq holds verifiable extractive and monetary assets that match or exceed the scale of any country that has ever executed a managed currency revaluation.

The Signed Contracts That Validate It

Sovereign rhetoric is cheap. Capital expenditure is what gets validated. Every major Iraq oil and gas contract signed in the past 5 years carries multi-decade capital exposure from companies that are paid to be right about future cash flows.

• TotalEnergies GGIP – $27 billion. Effective August 2023. TotalEnergies 45%, Basra Oil Company 30%, QatarEnergy 25%. All 4 sub-projects launched within 2 years of signing. Phase 1 targets 120,000 barrels per day at Ratawi, scaling to 210,000 in phase 2. An early production facility processing 50 million cubic feet of associated gas per day began operating in early 2026.

• West Qurna 1 – PetroChina took over operatorship from ExxonMobil in November 2023 at the same service-contract terms.

• Rumaila – Iraq’s largest producing field. BP partnership with PetroChina and Basra Oil Company. BP booking 79,000 barrels per day of upstream production share into 2025.

• Khor Mor (Kurdistan) – Pearl Petroleum (Crescent Petroleum and Dana Gas). The $1.1 billion KM250 expansion completed 8 months ahead of schedule in 2025, lifting output to 750 million cubic feet per day. Target 825 million cubic feet per day by end of 2026.

• Akkas (Anbar) – Schlumberger holds the development contract. Initial production scaling to 100 million cubic feet per day with a 400 million target.

• Mansuriya (Diyala) – 4.5 trillion cubic feet of estimated reserves. Awarded to a Chinese-Iraqi consortium with daily production potential over 300 million cubic feet.

Capital allocation committees at TotalEnergies, BP, Daewoo, Pearl, Sinopec, PetroChina, and Schlumberger have all approved multi-decade exposure to the Iraqi sovereign and the Iraqi banking system. They priced Iraq as bankable.

Ports, Roads, And The Hydrocarbon Law

Resources without ports and roads stay in the ground. Iraq is building both.

Al Faw Grand Port. $2.7 billion contract awarded to Daewoo in December 2020. The master plan calls for 99 berths and an eventual 25 million TEU annual capacity. In May 2026 the then current Iraqi PM Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani opened the first 5 container berths totalling 1,750 metres of quay. The immersed tunnel project has 7 of 10 concrete sections submerged. Phase 1 completion targeted 2028. Abu Dhabi Ports Company is finalising the operating agreement.

Development Road. The corridor connecting Faw to Europe. A quadrilateral MOU was signed in April 2024 between Iraq, Turkey, Qatar, and the UAE. 1,200 kilometres through Basra, Baghdad, Mosul, and into Turkey. Total project value $17 billion. Turkey has finalised the financing framework. The TIR international road transport system went operational in March 2025. A high-speed rail design was announced in September 2025, with phase 1 connecting Basra to Baghdad by 2031.

Hydrocarbon Law. 18 years of political deadlock. Two 2025 rulings dissolved it. In January 2025 the Karkh Court in Baghdad overturned earlier anti-KRG rulings. In July 2025 the Federal Supreme Court dismissed lawsuits against KRG gas contracts with HKN Energy and Western Zagros. The constitutional objections that blocked federal-KRG harmonisation for 15 years no longer carry force. The HCL signature becomes a single chamber vote, not an 18-year impossibility, once the cabinet stabilises after post-election seating.

ASYCUDA And The Cash Kill

This is the section most existing Iraqi dinar coverage skips. It is also the lever everyone asking the revaluation question should be tracking.

Iraq’s customs system is mid-rollout on the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development’s ASYCUDA World platform. Phase 2 closes June 24, 2026 – five weeks away. All 22 federal border crossings are now covered. Paper-to-electronic declaration became effective January 1, 2025. Pre-arrival declaration began December 1, 2025. The KRG-federal tariff unification deadline was January 1, 2026, with a final ASYCUDA agreement signed April 2026.

Parallel to ASYCUDA, the Central Bank of Iraq issued Electronic Payment Services Regulation Number 2 of 2024. All government payments are required to move to electronic channels by July 2026 – within 6 to 8 weeks. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, Rafidain Bank settled 2.65 trillion dinars through electronic channels, a 244% year-on-year increase.

A currency cannot be cleanly revalued if a significant percentage of its circulating stock moves through unmonitored cash channels. The float is unknown. The reserve-backing math is unknown. Any revaluation announcement triggers cash hoarding and parallel-market spikes that fight the official rate.

ASYCUDA closes the border-side leakage. The electronic payments mandate closes the domestic leakage. Once both systems operate in parallel, the CBI can quantify the true circulating float and match it against reserves. The parallel market collapses toward the official rate not because the CBI commands it, but because the unmonitored channel narrows until it cannot move enough dollar volume to set a meaningful premium.

Two Redemption Paths – Domestic And International

Iraqi citizens and international holders sit on two different paths.

Domestic. CBI and authorised Iraqi banks. CBI Governor Ali al-Alaq told the Sin Dialogue Forum in May 2026 that cash imports of US dollars into Iraq have been cut from $14 billion to $4 billion, with roughly 95% of dollar sales now moving through the electronic platform rather than the cash currency-auction window that existed a year earlier. The domestic channel is being rebuilt into an electronic, auditable rail before the rate event lands.

International. A Tier 1 international bank with IMF correspondent standing, opened as a relationship before the rate event, with the holding declared at deposit. Holders outside Iraq do not redeem through an exchange shop, a street kiosk, or a back-channel broker. The clean channel narrows over time. The unclean channel gets more visible to every counterparty involved. Holders who have not set the architecture up before the announcement land in a much slower, much less favourable queue afterwards.

The mechanics, the conversation with the branch manager, the two-bank method, and the documentation each holder needs to have on file are the contents of The Quiet Conversion – the redemption playbook available with a free Reset Intelligence account at resetintelligence.com/resources.

The Choice

If you came to dinar coverage expecting another date, you will not find one here. Iraq does not publish revaluation announcements prior to an event. The CBI does not telegraph rate moves. No Iraqi institution is going to post a calendar on social media for you to follow.

The dates promised in chat rooms about “next Friday” and “after Eid” and “before the budget” have been wrong every single cycle. That is not because the move is f**e. It is because the people calling the date have no inside line and never did.

This is not a 12 month thesis. It is a chain of dated events that have already started landing. ASYCUDA Phase 2 closes June 24. Government payments move electronic by July. The KRG-federal customs unification was signed in April. The TotalEnergies $27 billion project is in early production now. The Khor Mor expansion completed 8 months ahead of schedule. The Federal Supreme Court cleared the legal scaffolding on KRG gas contracts last July.

You have a choice. You can stay on the rollercoaster of missed dates and recycled rumours. Or you can follow the verified evidence chain. Signed contracts you can pull from corporate press releases. Customs deadlines you can pull from the UNCTAD ASYCUDA programme page. Court rulings you can pull from public Iraqi court records. CBI gold reserve figures you can pull from World Bank data.

None of them require trust. All of them require patience.

The architecture underneath the announcement is being built in public. The remaining question is whether you spent the months before the announcement preparing for it, or whether you queue for it afterwards alongside everyone who waited for permission to act.
