Samson: Kuwait confirms receiving $1.47 billion in war compensation from Iraq
30th November, 2021
The National Bank of Kuwait reported today, Tuesday, that Kuwait has received $1.47 billion in war compensation from Iraq.
The bank said that "Kuwait received compensation payments from the United Nations Committee from Iraq for the war, amounting to 1.47 billion dollars (0.4 billion dinars) in April, July and October of this year."
He added, "The remaining amount is 629 million dollars for final payment." LINK
MilitiaMan: What is surprising is they tell us that war compensation payments of $1.47 billion dollars reflects .4 billion Dinar. We cannot just assume that they are using IQD and not KWD in this context. But, since they typically show equivalency and the payor is Iraq to Kuwait in dollar terms, then the amount of $1.47 billion coming from Iraq to Kuwait would be from Iraq using their money in equivalency, as they are the ones owing the payments and not the other way around.
So, by that this looks to be a potential leak and front running imo.. As if the assumption is correct?
We shall see at some point if this represents an international payment to Iraq with an internationally accepted Iraq Dinar with real value..
The math supports a big surprise. lol.
The 2022 has to have the details of the 2019 FMLA, 2020, 2021 budgets sorted prior to opening the 2022 budget, imo..
Thus, this surprise that is apparently about to happen is economically tracked and that plans will be changed due to the surprise in an exchange rate.
Budgets are about money.. So we can wonder, do they mean that a new exchange rate (that is to be the opposite of the present rate), as being the surprise?
I would suspect that frankly, yes!!! imo It is possible..
With having new revenue streams coming on line at the borders, ports, agriculture, tourism, 500 billion in potential money recently clawed back, a new digital platform on line, new multi-currency Visa Cards, new digital payments and settlements across borders and new digital communications data storing place, I suspect that there are good reasons out to support that change is coming. imo ~ MM

Ross: the current KWD is worth $3.31 US. Does that help imply that this is actually IQD and not KWD ??
IAM: Excellent point, Ross.

Four years ago this month, Washington passed a law and named it, with a straight face, the Inflation Reduction Act. Bizarrely, their plan to ‘reduce inflation’, which had been caused by excessive government spending, was for the government to spend even more money. It’s genius!

Oil Shock Meets the Global Financial System: Bonds, Currencies and Central Banks Reprice Risk
August 18, 2026
The Iran conflict is no longer only an energy story. Rising oil prices are now colliding with elevated government debt, higher long-term bond yields and changing expectations for central-bank policy—creating a new test for the global financial architecture.
Brent crude has moved above $90 a barrel, while the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield has climbed above 5.3%, its highest level since 2007. At the same time, investors have reduced expectations for additional Federal Reserve rate increases. The unusual combination is forcing markets to reconsider how inflation, debt and geopolitical risk interact.

Peter Schiff: 8-17-2026
Peter Schiff on plunging retail sales, sticky inflation, the Fed's stealth QE, and why the world is now leaving the dollar standard.
Retail sales just plunged, producer prices are still rising, and the Fed is quietly expanding its balance sheet again.
The July data tells the story the markets keep ignoring. Retail sales fell 0.6 percent, the biggest drop in over a year, and since those numbers are not adjusted for inflation, real spending fell even further.
