Member: I've got some intel for ya since you were away on vacation...the RV hasn't happened yet. Just so you know!!!
Member: tomorrow is the day-right?
MZ: We will see how that goes.
MZ: According to my banking sources we have a lot of activity . They still believe it will be the 7th for exchanges with notifications as early as Wednesday right now. I am hoping this is accurate. We have been here before so we need to manage our expectations.
MZ: On the bond side there has been boxes of bonds paid out. Some of the smallest amounts being report are around 90 million dollars . I am still waiting to find out if any of these funds are spendable. It’s not enough to just see them. They need to be able to spend them.
MZ: But, It appears things are taking off this week.
Member: Mr. Z, how do the bonds being paid tie into the RV's timing? Thanks!
MZ: It is just another cog….we do not have to wait for all them to be paid before the RV, but we always knew Bonds would start to happen in the same approximate time span. It is an indicator for us to watch. Movement on the bond side means the RV is close behind…..moving forward.
Member: So just to clarify...notifications POSSIBLY this week with redemptions beginning next week ?
Member: A WF bank employee told me that the dinar will exchange first. Dong and others will be a month or so later. According to her boss. They are preparing for the exchange.
Member: Can we exchange our currency now?
MZ: You can but you won’t get the value you want from it. . You will just get basically what you paid for it.
Member: It was said in the past that the IQD should be exchanged into a separate account.
MZ: Absolutely not. And I am told you do not need a trust before the exchange. . Anyone tells you that you need one is just trying to sell you something.
Member: If we have Zim, should we also buy other currencies?
MZ: For me, Zim has always been the dark horse. The safest one to have, imo is the dinar. We know dinar should go first even though we are also being told they will all go at the same time. . Let’s say nothing else happens and they kick the can on the reset…..Iraq will still revalue. They have gone through all the hoops and jumped through everything they need to in order to RV their currency. That’s the way I look at it. .
Member: Are you still hearing there will be 3 options in exchanging the Zim?
MZ: Yes. 1: you take a lower amount and there is no strings on it. Cash and carry
2: you get a higher rate and you give a chunk of it to one of the preapproved humanitarian projects. You will not have to do any work and you make a little more
3: you make the maximum amount and lots of strings and work involved….you will be running the humanitarian project yourself, hiring people, filing things, state and federal requirements. They will be watching you to make sure you are a good steward with these funds.
Member: What are you hearing for the dong rate?
MZ: I am still hearing we will get in the lower $2 range.
MZ: I am looking for fantastic news this week. I think this will be an enormous week for us. See you all in the morning.
Member: Thanks Mark…..everyone have a great night.
Please listen to the replay for all the information

How Much Is One Ring Worth After Gold Prices Soared In 2025?
Susan Tompor, Detroit Free Press December 17, 2025
I asked my husband to take off his gold wedding band — again. I wanted to see one more time what I'd get if we wanted to sell it. Sure, we've been married 30 years. But after 30 years of marriage, well, he's learned to roll with oddball requests — and even ribbing when the ring initially didn't want to come off.
"We buy gold" signs grab your eye after gold prices broke one record after another in 2025. The record price for spot gold was trading at an intraday high of $4,380.99 an ounce Oct. 17, according to Kitco.com.
Swisher1776: This is a Modern Sovereign Transition, Not Kuwait 2.0
1-14-2025
Respectfully, this comparison is not accurate, and here’s why:
Kuwait’s 1991 revaluation occurred after a foreign occupation and currency replacement, under a monarchal system, with an external peg restored almost immediately. That situation involved physical currency withdrawal and reinstatement, not institutional reform.
Iraq today is in a completely different framework.
The Clarity Act is Not Capture, it’s Alignment

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show @KuwlShow
The Clarity Act Is Not “Capture.” It Is Alignment.
The Clarity Act governs behavior – but the architecture governs power.
Law can constrain actors, but only transparent, atomic systems eliminate the incentives and mechanisms for abuse.

Ariel: Tomorrow will be a Crossover Event
1-14-2026
Tomorrow Will Be A Crossover Event:
– SCOTUS might force massive tariff refunds, hitting Treasury hard. Which will not bold well for reserves of course.
– Trump’s Plan B ready to offset that cash drain fast. And he may just have to act on that ASAP.
– Iraqi Dinar reval at 1:1 or better could flood trillions in value.
Gold Rises 1% And Silver Surpasses $90 An Ounce

Ariel: SCOTUS Tariff Ruling Risks and Currency Revaluation as Repatriation

SCOTUS & The Tariffs Revenue: What We Are Not Being Told (The Potential Alternative)
Evaluation of SCOTUS Tariff Ruling Risks and Currency Revaluation as Repatriation
The assessment that a Supreme Court ruling against Trump’s tariff potentially mandating refunds of up to $150 billion in collected duties would logically pivot to currency revaluations, starting with the Iraqi Dinar at 1:1 parity or higher, holds substantial merit when dissected from geopolitical, economic, and strategic angles, though it carries nuances of timing, execution risks, and broader global dependencies.

Your Home Insurance May Not Cover Your Gold’s Value
Rebecca Payne Moneywise Sun, January 11, 2026
The soaring price of gold means your home insurance may not cover its value. How to know if your pieces are safe in 2026 The price of gold has shot up this year, even hitting a record high in October. While that may be good news for investors, those who own gold jewelry might want to consider what climbing prices mean for the pieces sitting in their jewelry box at home.
Gold — and other precious metals such as platinum and silver — have been trading higher, with the price of the yellow metal jumping from around $2,658 at the start of January 2025, to a staggering $4,467 per troy ounce by the first full week of January 2026 (1).
Basel 3 Just Broke the Chains of the Old Financial System
While most of the world was distracted today, something massive shifted behind the curtain of the financial system. You could feel it in the air. You could see it in the charts.
Gold exploded to a new all time high. Silver surged like a rocket trying to break free from gravity. And for those with eyes to see, the message was loud and clear. Basel 3 just activated in spirit. The chains holding real money down have started snapping.
Basel 3 is not just some obscure banking regulation. It was the final blow designed to remove the power of paper manipulation over physical assets like gold and silver.
