Member: Happy Friday to everyone!

MZ: Silver is on a wild ride this morning…especially for a Friday! I am blown away by what we are seeing historically unfolding.

Member: Silver just hit $100 an oz!!!!!

Member: And Gold closing in on $5000

Member: Its a hell of a day already!

MZ: I wonder if there will be a sell off and profit taking with the $100 dollar mark.

Member: major podcasts re: silver are telling people to hold their positions

Member:  I heard banks may fail at $100…..keeping eyes open

Member: Maybe Silver hitting $100 was our starting pistol?

Member: Maybe the silver run is to prepare us emotionally and mentally for the RV?

Member: Bix Weir says silver will go to 1 to 10 with gold. Meaning one ounce of silver will have the same value as 10 ounces of gold.

MZ: On the bond side there is nothing new. There is nothing fresh on groups.

MZ:  I do have one banker/Redemption Center contact  that was told they probably wont be working Saturday….but they may need them Sunday for a few hours.

MZ: In Iraq: “ Gold is on fire globally and the Iraqi weight is breaking the million. Baghdad reshapes its reserve map with the weight of precious metal”  The Iraqi central bank thinks this is a great thing because it is increasing the strength of their reserves.  About 25% of their currency is backed by gold-according to the CBI itself.

MZ: “Trump says big force of US naval ships are heading to Iran”  Are they trying to get Iran settled in the coming days so they can include it in the reset?. Wonder what is going on?

Member: the house is about to pass the GA crypto bill

Member: Hearing GENIUS Act. Stablecoins. Pegged to the USD at 1:1.

Member: Went to USBank yesterday. Asked about their Wealth Mgmt group, and when questioned about what I wanted to discuss, they were excited to set up an appointment when I said currency exchange.

Member: Ford and General Motors receive approval from federal regulators to set up banks. Both chartered out of Utah. Are corporations going to become their own banks?

Member: Mark, Is it possible we go before the end of February?

MZ: I think there is a very good chance. I will be surprised if we don’t. Of course I have been surprised and wrong before.

Member: Hope you all are prepared for the winter storm!

Member:  Get in, Buckle Up and hang on! for the Weekend!

Member: I hope everyone had a blessed day/ weekend and everyone stay safe and warm being affected during the winter storm. thoughts and prayers out to everyone

Japan's Bond SHOCK - Debt Market IMPLOSION Is Collapsing Global Economies

Lena Petrova:  1-22-2026

For decades, Japan’s bond market was the definition of stability. That illusion just shattered. This week, Japan’s 40-year government bond yield surged past 4% for the first time ever, triggering a shockwave across global markets.

 In this video, we break down why Japan’s ultra-long bonds are suddenly collapsing, how Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s snap election and aggressive fiscal plans spooked investors, and why this isn’t just Japan’s problem.

Rising Japanese yields are already pushing up U.S. Treasury rates, shaking equities, lifting gold, and threatening a massive yen carry-trade unwind.

Japan is the largest holder of U.S. debt — and when its capital starts moving, the entire world feels it.

👉 Is this the start of a global bond market reset?

👉 Can the Bank of Japan stop the damage — or make it worse?

Echo X: This is Big, Connect the Dots

1-21-2026

Echo 𝕏   @echodatruth

After speaking at the World Economic Forum, Donald Trump said he looks forward to signing the Market Structure Bill to unlock financial freedom for Americans, or China will dominate this market.

Then the White House Crypto Czar David Sacks confirms it:

“Once market structure legislation passes, banks will get fully into crypto…
They’ll be deep in the stablecoin business to offer yield and stay competitive.”

Here’s what most people are missing

This is NOT Banks vs Crypto.

It’s Centralized Middlemen vs Decentralized Access.

What the bill actually unlocks:
Community banks & credit unions onboarding digital assets
Regulated on-ramps into DeFi
Stablecoin yield earned on-chain, not parked on centralized exchanges
Capital in motion, not idle custodial yield

Credit unions don’t have shareholders.
They’re owned by the people.

That means:
Higher yields
Lower fees
Direct access to DeFi
No need to trust a centralized exchange acting like a bank

Meanwhile, some centralized exchanges are pretending to fight banks…
while quietly partnering with big banks and recreating the same old system.

If you’re earning 3–4% on a centralized exchange,
wait until community banks + DeFi rails go live.

This is mainstream integration, but done the right way.
The rails are being laid.
The gatekeepers are losing control.

Know What You Hold!

Member: Good morning Mark mods and everyone else!

Member: Hard to know where we are at with this…seems like everything has happened that needed to in general…

Member: Just hoping this weekend starts our exchanges.

MZ: Its eerily quiet for bonds, groups ect……That is not a bad thing.

Member: Bond folks are like the “Boy who cried wolf” a constant put off.

MZ: I feel bad for the bond folks that are getting strung around. But I do believe a couple of them have received some funds.

MZ: “Al Maliki may fail to be Iraq’s next Prime Minister” Maliki is falling apart and is unglued…..I think this is positive for Iraq and our Revaluation.

Member: Supposedly Maliki has deep connections to the Iranian Islamic regime.

MZ: “ On the cusp of constitutional decisiveness, Upcoming session for the election of the President of the Republic”  they are getting ready to seat the President. Then their eyes are on the Prime Minister and HCL.

Member: Maybe President, Sudani, HCL-budget-rate all one in the same!!!

MZ: “Anbar silica reserves qualify Iraq for electronic chip industry”  they announced a big find of 600 million tons. 98-99% pure glass silica which is ideal for making computer chips. Isn’t it crazy they keep finding more and more assets in Iraq?

Member: Silica..it is called Sand...they live in a desert, lots! of it!

MZ: “ $6000 gold ahead as Trump, Treasury and Fed will run it hot in 2026”  Trying to take a Reagan approach like he did in World War 2. Outgrow the deficit. It has a lot of risks. But they expect $6000 gold and $130 dollar an ounce silver.

Member: I say watch gold it is what currency will be backed by

Member: I wonder what the next thing is that we’re waiting for to trigger the RV??

Member: some rumors say we were are waiting for the Chinese Elders to release funds for our bonds and IQD etc.

Member: Possible Government shutdown could happen January 30 since extension runs out?

Member: Crypto Clarity Act has chance for a vote Jan 27th possibly pushing $Trillions into Bitcoin

Paul Gold Eagle: We are Witnessing a Monetary Reset

1-22-2026

This is a monetary reset not market speculation.
Trust has been broken and people see that Fiat Currency is the biggest Ponzi scheme of all.

Fiat Currency is backed by “The Full Faith and Credit”

The US alone is racking up a Trillion in debt approximately every 100 days.

It’s roughly 3 Billion a day to service the debt.

Fractional Reserve Banking

This is where Banks create money out of debt.
Since March 2020 Banks don’t even need to hold the 10% reserve anymore.
The system is backed by NOTHING

FIAT CURRENCY IS A PONZI SCHEME

Silver's Move Hasn't Even Started | Gregory Mannarino

Liberty and Finance:  1-21-2026

Gregory Manarino argues that silver remains profoundly undervalued because its pricing sits atop an overleveraged debt market that functions like a pressure cooker with the lid clamped down by policy intervention.

He explains how suppressed interest rates, paper derivatives, and central bank balance sheet expansion distort price discovery, using the contrast between physical metal ownership and paper contracts as a plain language example of systemic fragility.

 From there, he frames the US financial system as infrastructure built on perpetual debt expansion, where the Fed Treasury complex acts as both buyer and lender of last resort, crowding out genuine market signals.

Manarino extends this analysis to emerging mechanisms such as tokenization and stablecoins, describing them as new plumbing layered onto an already unstable foundation rather than true reform.

The economic consequence, he warns, points toward currency debasement, further wealth concentration, and a sharp repricing of real assets like silver once the debt market finally asserts gravity over illusion.

Rob Cunningham: Fiat Money Extracts Future Labor through Debt

Rob Cunningham: Fiat Money Extracts Future Labor through Debt

1-21-2026

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show  @KuwlShow

Fiat money extracts future labor through debt.
Fiat law governs present behavior through presumption.

When both lack transparency,
the people are ruled not by consent – but by confusion.

Control does not require tyranny
when ignorance can be engineered at scale.

Truth requires light.
Justice requires limits.
Freedom requires consent.

Any system that fears transparency
has already confessed its intent.

“The truth will set you free.”
– not narratives, not authority, not volume – truth.

Trustlessness ends “trust me” chains.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 1-20-26

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 1-20-26

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. it is Tuesday, January 20th  and you're listening to the big call. thanks everybody for tuning in, and we're looking forward to another good call tonight.

Let's talk about where we are from an Intel point of view. All right. Well, this is not going to be that long a segment, but I would say what's interesting that I found out yesterday was that the we  --- let me get the currencies right. First of all, there weren't any currencies up on the redemption center screens yesterday.

Previously, we had had 30 like the day before, we had 37 currencies on the front screen of the redemption center. That's more than we thought were going to be there. And they said they might get as many as 40. So they might have three, maybe four more currencies that would show up.

These are all currencies are going up in value against the USN  dollar. Okay, so the fact that we had 37 now, the rates were fluctuating or populating, as we say, where you couldn't really concentrate and focus on a rate. It's because they were flickering and changing so quickly.

But it's nice to know that we had space with a pending notification for the Iranian Rialas well the Venezuelan Bolivar. So those two should be in the basket in play. And we have rates for, not really for the Rial right now, but we did have something for the Bolivar so anybody who has that is probably going to be doing well, on that particular currency.

Let's see what else there was.--  What was interesting on the Central Bank of Iraq site, on their CBI screens, Iraq, the central bank of Iraq. We used to call it central bank, and then we changed it to Sovereign bank of  Iraq. They still use designation CBI, so I just call it  CBI  --

CBI site had actually two other currencies on their site, and one was the Vietnamese Dong  and the other one was not Afghanistan , I believe it was on, was the rupiah was on  their site? What was that telling us?  That’s telling us that that is ready to be exchanged or traded against the new Iraqi dinar.

And so that's that's pretty cool, had not heard that before --  Now, President Trump was going to leave tonight to go over to Davos, Switzerland to be part of the World Economic Forum.

And I know it's going over there to talk about several things, but one of the things he was going to talk about, was picking up Greenland. Greenland, and  how he intends to do that, and what, what we're going to have to benefit from it, primarily from a security point of view, from a military point of view, I think it helps to complete our golden dome that he's talked about, and we've talked about -- So that is really important.

He's going over with that, and he's got to go over and talk also about our housing issues over here, in terms of first time home buyers trying to get people that are having difficulty finding a house they can afford and affording a first time house to make that happen. I don't quite understand why he would bring that up over there at the World Economic Forum, but I know he has something planned for that. But he talked about making that happen.

We do know that he had talked about a 50 year mortgage. He talked about, I think there was a number of bonds that have been purchased to help reduce the cost for maybe it's Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae FHA loans or something. I don't have the full details on it, but that'll be interesting to see when that all comes out,

But President Trump today, on January, 20 marks one year that President Trump has been in office, one year of his four year term, and today, I watched a two hour press conference, and then I had, there were questions afterwards that he answered quite a few of, and it's amazing. He just basically went through and listed the accomplishments that he and his administration had made in the first year. And it's an amazing list that he has produced.

And I was very, very happy and very proud to see how much was done in one year. And we're just really getting started where we should see some really good things happen in our second, third and fourth years. We're really looking forward to that.

What else happening? As far as that goes,  -- I think what's interesting is we have been tracking for five days at our last call, Thursday night, on when everybody is supposed to receive notification  and when are we supposed to go in for exchanges?

Well, we always talk about tier three bond holders who are supposed to go slightly ahead of us in terms of receiving notification they were to receive notification yesterday and today on their funds that would be placed in their accounts so that they could, they'd see the funds, and then also get notified as to when they could have access to those funds for sort of two separate things, the bonds, for the most part, except for bonds that we might have in I'm talking sheet bonds. I'm not talking about the Zim. I'm talking about sheet bonds, and so called boxes of bonds that we will be able to take into the redemption center to hypothecate or to to redeem.

And we can do that, but we have to give them notice if you have sheet bonds, Golden Dragon, yellow Dragon, Red Dragon. Bonds, railroad bonds, Peruvian gold bonds, any of the bonds that are legitimately in sheet form that you have provenance for, that you can prove how you receive them before you or they give to you. Blah, blah, blah, all of that is called provenance, and that's what you have to be able to show if you have bonds to go into the redemption center to redeem.

So what I'm suggesting is bond holders, to my knowledge, may have been funds, may have been placed in their accounts, and we do not have verification of that yet, and I think it was more like instead of Monday, Tuesday, it's more likely to be today and Wednesday, tomorrow before bond holders may see those funds in their accounts.

Now, when that's a big question,   access once they receive the email to tell them one and here's my what I think that may look like, we should get our notifications according to who we have talked to, these redemption center leaders, people working within the Treasury. These are people just in that particular arena.

Some are special forces. Some are people that are involved in security, etc, but they're all pretty much suggesting for tier 4B, should get notified either tomorrow or Thursday and begin exchanges early as Thursday this week.

Everybody is this week now, one of the ranges that was given was from the 20th, which is today, through the 25th we had originally heard 27th  26th  and now the far date is 25th I think that's Saturday, right?

That would be great now, obviously. And we had heard for one one particular redemption center that we could get this anytime on Wednesday night to Thursday by noon. Boy, I like that. I like that so specific. Thursday night to I mean, excuse me, Wednesday night to Thursday by noon is how it was stated.

All right, we're not going to hold ourselves to that exact timeline, but I like Wednesday, Thursday for us. But you know what, guys, it could be Thursday, Thursday, we could get notified Thursday, set appointments and begin exchanges on the same day.

Very possible, and I hope that's going to be the case for us.

So bondholders are still waiting for notifications to tell them when they have access. I don't know how many have received funds into their account and whether they have the coordinates to be able to see that yet, but I know that that is the plan for them to be able to see their account, and they know how much of that money they will have for the first 60 days, and then after 60 days, very similar to us, they would have access to all of it. In our case, we tell them how much we need for the first 60 to 90 days for our projects, and then we can put that amount in our primary account.

Now I'm moving it from our Quantum  account into our primary and then after 60 or 90 days, whichever it is, we can have access to as much as we want.

That is the plan.

So we'll see how that comes together. I'm hoping everything is coming like from about three or four different sources that are talking about the Wednesday, Thursday for tier 4b that's what I'm hoping for, and believing that's going to happen for us.

Let's see beyond that. -- Of course, redemption centers are the way to go.

We know that the contract rate on the dinar has been agreed to and put under contract by President Trump in his first term as president, and that's an extremely good rate, and I'm looking forward to that.

We we don't have a contract rate, per se, on the Dong but we know that it's supposed to be a very good rate, and I've heard where it was, and now it should be at that point, or maybe a little higher.

So we're going to see what that is that should be great for us and the other currencies, like said, will come into play. I believe that everything that we thought we had to wait to happen has happened.

There may be something with the regime change in Iran that I don't have the latest information on right now might be something to that, but realistically, we're only a couple of days away from being where we think we need to be. I did hear one source this morning that indicated 72 hours to 96 hours from 3am this morning.

Okay, that's three days or four days from this morning early today is what Tuesday ---  So maybe it is a Friday, Saturday, so we have to open our window. I'm hoping for Wednesday, Thursday, but it could be by the end of the week.

I think if we look at it that way, I think that's probably the safest way to look at it right now, and remember that we tend to go by what the redemption center leaders are getting from both Wells, Fargo and treasury, because Treasury will send an email to Wells and Wells will forward that to the redemption center leaders, and we sometimes are fortunate enough to find out what they're thinking.

And that works out really well. So President Trump is leaving, if he hasn't already left tonight, or Davos, Switzerland, arriving  in the morning, and he'll be good to go for his meetings tomorrow.

And actually, usually, as I remember, that's a four day conference over there. But see, I don't know how long President Trump's planning to stay, and I don't know how many different meetings he has scheduled, but I know he's meeting with a lot of the European leaders that will be there, and that's a good thing. That's a good thing.

So I'm hoping that the picking up of Greenland will be in everybody's best interest from a national security point of view, and a regional security point of view for the United States, and I know President Trump will do the right thing for the people on the island of Greenland, and also for Denmark, who theoretically owns Greenland. But it is, it is strategic, and it's a good thing that we're  looking at that.

I think, really, that is pretty much everything that I wanted to talk about tonight. That's what we're most interested in. Is our timing. What is our timeline? Try to update time line. And you know, things do change as you guys know, things do change.

Things come up, other things happen, and that has slowed us down for quite a while, so we will see whether or not there's anything else that's inhibiting us in our path to get this done,

but in the meantime, which is where we are.  In the meantime, let's stay positive for it. Let's believe for it, let's pray for it, and let's stay patient for it, because that's really what serves us best, is being patient knowing that it's coming and knowing that it's close.

So let's just do what Sue was talking about earlier. Let's not get depleted. Let's keep our energy, but let's be ready in season and out of season for an instant word of a current encouragement that we can give to people that need it every every day of our lives. Be an encourager.

Okay, I think that's really something we can all do. So I want to thank Sue and Bob for being great co hosts. And you know, there's just so much that we've tried to cover on the big call for you guys. And many of you guys have been with us ever since the very first call 15 years ago. We're in our 15th year of the big call, and it's been exciting.

So I want to thank everybody. So we will be in touch with you, and we do plan. We had a really nice compliment from kind of pretty famous guy out there that said, check for the 800 numbers.

If you're a dinar holder, no other note banks are going to be exchanging Zim or redeeming Zim. So if you're a Zim holder, obviously you go to the redemption center and you'll get a free Q phone, which is basically phone that works on the Starlink satellite system. And it's like a satellite phone. It is a sat phone. So you'll be able to do that.

And there's a some other things that you'll get redemption center. So that's the ticket, the one you want to do. And then, of course, when you're at the redemption center, that when you tell them, if you have a dire need, and you're a zim holder, you definitely want to get the bed into the computer and hold it you're in the system, and that's what I'm going to do, and that's what many of you will do. So keep that in mind.

News, new news, Med beds, I know an instance where friend of mine, what witness, Terry guy, that was all from PTSD, really was not and took a in the med bed. It took 20 wins to completely erase and clear all of his problems, and he came out normal. That's all that was all gone. So there's a lot of potential for all of us, and we just have to get this thing kicked off.

So let's go ahead, pray the call out.. Well, good night everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Thursday night. God bless everybody.

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

Member: Good Morning Mark, Mods and all Dinarians from around the Cosmos!!!!

Member: RV there yet?

Member: President Trump just finished a speech that lasted over an hour at DAVOS. Hope he has other side meetings regarding a currency reset as long as he is there….lol

Member: I was praying President Trump would announce Nesara

Member: Pay attention to what Trump is saying in Davos. Pay attention to the Board of Peace Charter. That is GESARA. IMO

MZ: Lots of interesting things happening- that’s for sure.

Member: To me it makes sense that we don’t go into nesara gesara until the income taxes are gone and the swift currency is replaced, which should come straight from Scott Bessent or Trump as a public message…

MZ: On the bond side there is a 4:00PM Europe time bond meeting today….and they are expecting payment.

​Member: Isn’t it 4:00 Europe time right now?? Your bond holders possibly  in their meeting as we speak?

MZ: Yes, going on about right now. I hope to have that update this evening. Cross your fingers and hope they are finally getting it.

MZ: In Iraq: “ Savaya : Iraq’s stability depends on dismantling corruption networks and stopping fake salaries”  Savaya is saying a lot of money goes to causes to disrupt the government. Mostly from Iranian influences. It’s a rampant corruption scheme. They need to clean these networks up to stop the corruption…and they are in the middle of cleaning this up in Iraq.

Member: Sounds like Minnesota and the US.

Member: Kurdistan was saying there was more people on the payroll than actual so SOMO is direct paying Kurdistan employees via the cards

MZ: Eliminating corruption is dominating the news in Iraq this morning.

Member: Frank26 was saying he believes that Savaya and Trump pic is legit and those coins are army, navy and military coins.

MZ: “Sudani arrives at Ain Al Assad base after receiving it from coalition” Iraqi forces are now taking over the old US bases.

Member: Frank26 said we’re still there just moved to Kuridistan region

Member: Iraq’s government said Sunday that US forces have completed a “full withdrawal” from military facilities within the country’s federal territory!!!

Member: The US-led coalition to fight the Islamic State group also withdrew from the Joint Operations Command headquarters, leaving the installations under the full control of Iraqi security forces!

MZ: Trump said we would leave when we get paid. I believe we have been paid or its scheduled….but good things are inbound.

Member: I don’t think the troops are leaving Iraq just yet I think they’re headed towards the border of Iraq and Iran

Member: I agree.

Membere: Thanks Mark and Andy…….Everyone stay safe in the big storm hitting much of the US this week…

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Wed. 21 Jan. 2026

Compiled Wed. 21 Jan. 2026 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: (RUMORS)

The Plan To Save The World:

Phase Five: Economic reset – QFS activates, Fed ends, IRS abolished, gold-backed currency, NESARA funds released.

The Global Currency Reset has crossed the point of no return, ushering in the prosperity era under NESARA/GESARA.

Redemption appointments roll out in a 5-day window beginning Mon. 19 Jan. through Fri. 23 Jan. 2026, with Tier 4B notifications flowing today and exchanges/Zim redemptions prioritizing humanitarian projects under the fully operational Quantum Financial System. Gold-standard rates secure asset-backed payouts, massive wealth transfer from corrupt elites to the faithful patriots—debt jubilee wipes away burdens, freeing humanity for the Golden Age.

The QFS enforces sovereign freedom worldwide across 209 BRICS nations, with prosperity packages, no taxes on earnings, and trillions redirected to rebuild America, end poverty, and uplift the planet.

Redemption Centers for the general public open under military security by early February, linked via Starlink for secure GESARA wallets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tues. 20 Jan. 2026 Bruce, The Big Call  667-770-1866, pin123456#, 667-770-1865

The Iranian Rial and Venzuela Bolivar are on the screens and will be part of the exchange

Tier 3 was supposed to receive notification on their funds yesterday and today Tues. 20 Jan.

Sources say that Tier 4b should get notification Wed. or Thurs. and begain exchanges this week.

One source said 72 hours to 96 hours (3-4 days) for notification.

The far date for Tier4b notification is Sat. 24 Jan.

They will ask how much money you need for your Humanitarian Project for the first 90 days.

Redemption Centers will give you a higher rate than a bank.

Banks cannot redeem the Zim Bond. You do that at a Redemption Center.

Frank26    Just like a cartoon character like the road runner, legs are moving, moving, moving, moving and as soon as you let him touch the ground - BOOM - he's going to take off.  That's the way I see the monetary reform of Iraq...

Militia Man  You got to be careful about how you read articles.  In the last three or four days a lot of articles have a lot of...hype.  They have an agenda and they're slanted.  If you haven't been around a long time, even I get confused sometimes but if you...look at the context of the articles then you can find out how biased, slanted etc, they are, politically driven.  So be careful what you read.

Mnt Goat   we must believe that the Trump administration wants the reinstatement of the Iraq dinar even more than we do, however the situation in and around Iraq must be stable. Trump plans to bring in massive US money to Iraq for development and investment, but it must be stable and secure first.

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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

Member: Happy Tuesday and Good morning to everyone.

Member: (There is a picture of President Trump and Iraq currency on the table on Marks thumbnail for this video.) Did anyone identify the currency?

MZ: Oh yeah. Its Iraqi with a picture of Sadaam Hussein on it. A 2003 I believe. If you notice they are looking at Iraqi currencies. There is a lot of chatter about it and not just in the dinar world…but in the economic world and the middle east in general.

MZ: “Shocking and in pictures: Hussein clashes with Trump and Savaya during their meeting. What is going on and what is being prepared for Iraq?”  We don’t know…but these are sensitive symbols left over from Saddams rule.

Member:   Mark, the question is why would P. Trump have that bill in front of him, old bill.?

Member: Savaya’s post with currency in it has to be a signal! It wasn’t from yesterday so his timing of posting it is peculiar.

Member: Mark, my 2 cents. It’s a comm. Saddam currency is “on the table”. Probably since it’s the currency the US confiscated back in the war

MZ: Do you guys thinks it’s a comm ? Lots of news outlets and comments about this picture and wondering why its important and what does it signify? Why are they looking at old currency if it was worthless. Wouldn’t they just throw it away?

Member: My two cents: It’s a comm. Saddam currency is “on the table” . Prabably since it was the currency tat was confiscated during the war.

MZ: “ Massour Barzani heads to DAVOS: And these files will be discussed at the World forum” He is trying to whip up support for business in northern Iraq. It is clear they are international and no longer playing in a restricted market.

Member: I wonder if Trump and Iraq officials will meet during a “side meeting” over there?

Member: Hopefully US leaving Iraq means we're about to get paid!!!

MZ: Yes US troops are leaving Iraq.

Member:  If our troops left Iraq, we should get excited

Member: Mark what are we waiting on for Iraq to complete to RV? the recent election have to be settled??

Member: Is it true the US Treasury  is sitting on billions of Iraqi dinar that could be worth upwards of $41 Trillion?

MZ: It is true. Absolutely. 100%.At one point they had $55 Trillion but have been selling off or trading back to Iraq.

Member: I believe Trump said $35B in Dinar…which is (allegedly) 46 Trillion Dinars

Member: Dow down over 6oo points! W0W

Member: When does President Trump speak at Davos?

Member: I believe on Thursday

Member: Wasn’t it said at one time that when President Trump leaves the country and the troops leave Iraq then we would get an RV? 

MZ: Yes it was said that we will leave when we get paid. So I think the US might have been paid

MZ: “Iraq announces the full withdrawal of US forces from its Federal Territory” …Iraq is taking over US military bases “ After the American withdrawal Iraqi Interior Minister visits the Ain Al Assad base”

MZ: This is a planned and peaceful transition.

Member: Just a thought—Trump is out of the country tonight/tomorrow and delivering a financial speech tomorrow morning (8:30am CST). RV when he’s out of country?

Member:  I heard Vietnam was rumored they went public on their rv putting pressure on Iraq. Domino affect. I also heard this week! Has anyone heard this?

MZ: On the bond side I really had hoped to have news by today…but so far nothing. Groups, Indian Nations, Farm claims are all quiet

Member: I am positive this will happen by July 4 for Trumps big celebration

Member: Family, just remember 7/04/26 is the drop dead date for gold backed money! So 3 months before that would make the most sense! IMO

Member: Tell us again how we are going to be notified. Will the 800 numbers be universal?

MZ: You are not looking for one magical 800 number. Banks have told me they would have individual number and links to set up appointments . They told me that they would be sending their numbers to Dinar Recaps and other news aggregating sites so they can send it out with their free email newsletter. I was told I would get the information as well. I will then notify mods and do a podcast.

Member: I assume those numbers will be depending on location.

Member: Are banks and redemption centers the same thing? Will they give us a higher rate?

MZ: Yes . Redemption centers are a redeeming bank with trained personnel to do your exchange right there. No putting it in an envelope and sending it off. Banks desperately want our business so they can give us a higher rate with lower fees …Banks will get more customers and more deposits which keeps them in business. That’s how banks make money.

MZ: Also we were told many years ago that Iraq would an opportunity on their portion of the currency exchange for “Oil for dinar” where the US could aggregate that currency and exchange it over time for very cheap oil from Iraq at about $35 a barrel. This allows Iraq to leverage an asset that is still in the ground.

Member: How close will these redemption centers be?

MZ: I was told that 90% of Americans would have a location under 50 miles. If you live 3 hours from civilizations like in rural Montana or the Dakotas…of course you have to drive further. I hear you will have even more choices in Europe because you are used to dealing with foreign currencies all the time.

Member: I don’t are how far it is…..what a great roadtrip that would be.

Member: MarkZ what did you decide to do on your evening podcast? Are you going to start pre-recording???

MZ: I will have a live podcast tonight with Dr. Jay ….but starting next week he will transition to the day podcast in the second hour.

​​Member: It’s hard to believe how close we are but the anticipation is killing me

Member: Hang in there….the best is yet to come

KTFA:

Clare:  Mark Savaya  @Mark_Savaya

We had a very successful meeting with Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, and Joe Kent, the Director of @ODNIgov’s National Counterterrorism Center, during which we discussed a range of critical issues related to the matters I have previously raised.

 Our discussions included the role of Iranian-backed militias and related networks. We also highlighted the importance of maintaining and building on the Iraqi government's efforts over the past year to secure borders, fight smuggling and corruption, and strengthen state authority. Under President Donald J Trump’s leadership,

I am fully committed to exposing and pursuing wrongdoing wherever it exists, stabilizing Iraq, and ensuring its security in the service of Iraqi sovereignty and the well-being of the Iraqi people. IRAQI PEOPLE WILL MAKE IRAQ GREAT AGAIN ....

Clare:  Erbil tells the story of reviving the "gold lira" as an inherited economic refuge

1/18/2026

Erbil (Kurdistan 24) Salar Gharib, who has twenty-three years of experience, begins the journey of converting raw “broken” gold into shiny liras by melting the metal at temperatures ranging from 1300 to 1600 degrees Celsius, after determining the carat with extreme precision to be “21 carat” (91.6% purity), which is the most popular and trusted grade in the local markets.

In keeping with the culture of saving that is deeply rooted in the Kurdistan Region society in all its cities, regions and extensions, and with the increasing demand for the yellow metal as a safe haven for wealth, gold crafting factories in the capital Erbil are witnessing remarkable technical and artistic activity to produce the “gold lira” with local and international specifications, as these small pieces have turned into an economic icon that combines investment value and traditional beauty.

At the heart of a specialized workshop, after the gold is poured into molds to produce longitudinal ingots, the material passes through rolling and pressing machines to form precise gold sheets.

Their thickness is measured with sensitive electronic instruments to ensure a consistent weight. Here, goldsmith Salar points out that the 5-gram gold lira is the most sought-after coin among the residents of Erbil. It is cut to a diameter of 80 millimeters before undergoing a purification and drying process in preparation for the final "minting" or stamping under immense hydraulic pressure of up to 1500 bar, which gives it its distinctive visual identity and seal of quality. 

When discussing production capacity, the factory managers emphasize that the increasing demand has prompted them to raise the pace of work. The factory produces between 600 and 700 gold liras daily in various shapes and weights, with the possibility of printing more than 4,000 copies of some highly sought-after models. This reflects a revival in the local industry and the ability of craftsmen in Erbil to compete with imports in terms of accuracy and purity.

Experts believe that, looking at the future of the market, this trend towards local manufacturing of gold savings coins not only provides job opportunities for local staff, but also gives the Kurdish consumer an additional guarantee of purity and weight, so that the “Erbil” gold lira remains a solid bridge that citizens cross towards financial stability that defies the fluctuations of paper currencies.   LINK

Frank26  I don't believe Maliki is going to be the next prime minister...To be honest with you, every time we talk about Maliki is a a waste of time...

Jeff   You were hearing from other [dinar gurus] that Sudani was out, that he conceded to Maliki.  I told you guys that was all B.S. nonsense and you have to know how to correctly vet the news...I told you... Sudani was not out.  Sudani did not concede.  Many of you guys were frustrated and upset...They still don't have a final decision towards Maliki...You can't trust the political news.  It's very misleading and they lie to you extensively in it.  Article:  "What if Mohammed Shia al-Sudani rebels against the coordination framework..."  This article doesn't suggest Sudani conceded to Maliki.

Mnt Goat   Article: “AN ECONOMIC OBSERVATORY REVEALS THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ’S CONDITIONS FOR BANKS TO TRADE IN CURRENCIES OTHER THAN THE DOLLAR.”  Another step in the breakaway from sanctioned times, this time global payment for trade...But this is not the end yet and there is still much work to be done. Yes, Iraq must get out of this 1991 and 2003 UN sanction-mode mindset and get back to regular international trade processes. We are now witnessing yet another step forward and this is a good one.

Silver 1:1 with Gold? The Hidden Gold That Changes Everything

Bix Weir:  1-18-2026

Financial analyst and creator of the “Road to Roota Theory,” Bix Weir, joins the Friday Night Economic Review for an in-depth, wide-ranging conversation on silver, gold, and the shifting foundations of global power.

- In this discussion, we explore Weir’s view that silver could ultimately reach a 1:1 valuation with gold, and the structural, monetary, and geopolitical forces that could drive such a move.

Rather than a formal presentation, this is a dynamic exchange of ideas—connecting macro trends, suppressed markets, industrial demand, and the growing strains on the global financial system.

- We also dive into potential gold stores around the world and how the acknowledgment of these reserves could radically alter the balance of power between nations.

 From central bank strategy to geopolitical leverage, we examine how precious metals may play a critical role in the next phase of the global reset. –

This is a thoughtful, exploratory conversation for those watching the cracks in the current system and looking beyond the headlines. –
