Austin-Powers-For-PM ...I believe September will be an unbelievable month for all of us. What that looks like or how that will happen is yet to be seen...
Jeff ...they're not going to stay pegged to a single currency. That's not happening...it's too risky. After the rate change the dinar will be pegged to a basket to minimize risk...
Jeff Article: "Away from the political file..a high-level Kurdish delegation in Baghdad". Quote: "...to discuss the proposal of the international Monetary Fund and the International Central Bank to change the budget system from 1-year budget to a 3-year budget." ...I've been in this 11 years that's the first time in 11 years they've ever talked about that. That pretty much has rate change written all over it...

Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act gives the SEC remarkably broad exemptive authority.
The SEC itself describes it this way:
“…the Commission may, by rule, regulation, or order, conditionally or unconditionally exempt persons, transactions, securities – or entire classes of them – from provisions of the Exchange Act or its rules, provided the exemption is in the public interest and consistent with investor protection.”

Iraq is the keystone. Deleting the three zeros was said to require the Clarity Act to codify the asset-backed status into US law, preventing the Cabal from legally challenging the revaluation through their once captured SEC and judiciary. But we know that not the case.

Ross: Iraq’s Oil is the Dinar’s Revaluation
8-11-2026
Iraq running on a 51 year old oil & gas law is actually crazy and so is IQD being worth $.00076.
It is a no-brainer for Iraq to finally pass the HCL and increase the purchasing power of the dinar.
Inevitable if Iraq is to ever prosper.
What The Digital Dinar Means For Dinar Investors
The Dinar Den: 8-10-2026
For years, the Iraqi dinar (IQD) has been a subject of intense interest and speculation among global currency investors. While online forums are often filled with sensational claims of overnight riches and imminent currency revaluations, seasoned investors take a more analytical approach.
In a recent video from the popular YouTube channel The Dinar Den, Stephen—an entrepreneur and long-time Iraqi dinar investor—provides a grounded, realistic perspective on the current state of Iraq’s economy. Instead of focusing on unverified rumors, Stephen highlights a far more critical development: Iraq’s rapid transition toward a digitized financial infrastructure.

People keep this in mind. Under Article 70 of the Iraqi Constitution, major financial reforms specifically altering the exchange rate require a seated government and parliamentary consensus.
The factional disputes between Shia blocs and Kurdish parties over cabinet positions weren’t just drama; they were a legal blockade.

8-8-2026
Why POTUS Is Unbothered About The Clarity Act:
1.4B crypto holdings creating an ethics conflict that stalls the bill. Let them. While the Deepstate blocks the Clarity Act to “protect” the system from his wallet, they are accidentally freezing the Cabal’s off-ramps.
If Trump pushed the bill hard, the Senate would just water it down with centralized carve-outs. By letting Thune stall, Trump forces the SEC to keep its enforcement posture.

This includes civilian and military/security vehicles. No exceptions. The order came less than 24 hours after Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi (as Commander-in-Chief) raised the nationwide alert level, combat readiness, and canceled leave for commanders and unit leaders.
