Member: Hi everyone, are you ready for the Rv. ??
MZ: My bond contacts from Asia to Europe and domestically here in the US. And then my 3 different currency groups all got the same news today. They are all expecting a free flow of funds , fully spendable by Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
MZ: So the good news is they didn’t immediately push it out until Thursday . The expectation is Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. I’m going to take this as a positive because Mondays have always been pretty much useless.
MZ: One thing my banking contacts have told me is they never really expect it to happen on a Monday. So all we can do is buckle up tight and we will see how this week plays out together.
Member: Isaac's conf call was supposed to be today. Got rescheduled to "tomorrow".....again. *sigh*
ISAAC 8/23/21 Hello, my 2 calls were rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon, no liquidity as of today by HSBC Keep you posted tomorrow as soon as I finish.
Member: according to Holly things are looking good guys..for this week….woohoo
Member: Yes, that is the most positive statement I have ever read from Holly....
MZ: in the real world news…..Some are talking about Iraq trading on forex. What they are doing is allowing traders in Iraq to trade on the forex using dinar. This is not meaning that the dinar is trading on the forex. But, this is a enormous step for Banks and institutions to be able to trade on it. Link
MZ: Another interesting link is https://www.xe.com/currency/iqd-iraqi-dinar/ At the bottom is a notice that the dinar “may be redenominated” and it goes into a lot of history about it.
Member: Remember that Mark will be on vacation from the 25th to the 29th.
Member: Mark...What if it RV’s on the 25th?
MZ: I have a call tomorrow to see if the news this week may affect my vacation plans…..you may end up seeing me after all…
Member: Have a good evening all! Thanks again Mark and mod!
MZ: Hoping we have some phenomenal news tomorrow.

Forex Trading in Iraq
Forex trading is now possible from Iraq thanks to international brokers accepting Iraqis. While Iraq has been plagued with war and economic problems in recent years, there is also one positive development: Iraq is now a country that is part of the international community and Iraqis have access to international service providers such as forex brokers without restrictions.
Having access to the largest forex brokers brings in many advantages for Iraqi forex traders. Now they can trade using the most advanced forex trading platforms directly from their mobile phones or internet-connected computers.
Such brokers offer high leverage allowing people to trade large sums of money and make larger profits. Another advantage of the advanced trading platforms is the possibility to trade oil or gold on top of forex currencies.
People in Iraq are well aware of the movements in the price of oil and using a foreign forex broker they can now profit when oil goes both up and down. Link

The Whole World Is Stockpiling Like It's 1939
Notes From the Field ByJames Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man August 24, 2026
