Member: Good Evening everyone.
MZ: Very little news on the RV front today…..no money movement yet.
MZ: I have heard some encouraging info out of Iraq as to their government and scrapping or folding into the other two one of the 3 big political blocks. This is so they can go ahead and seat a government.
MZ: So they still appear to be all hands on deck getting things done before the 7th.
MZ: This is something that very much matters to us….Article : “ Global Bond market decimated. Future performance “Policy Dependant”.” I was told years ago that the bond markets would be upside down and inverted. Decimation in the bond market was one of the things to watch for.

Member: We gotta be getting close- to many things lining up for the GO!

The Last Time the S&P Did This, the Market Crashed 20% in a Day
Taylor Kenny: 6-9-2026
Could the market be repeating one of the most dangerous patterns in modern history? Stocks are soaring on AI optimism while the bond market is flashing a very different message.
Treasury yields are rising, U.S. debt is exploding, consumer savings are falling, and confidence is breaking down. Is this the start of a new bull market—or the setup for a historic crash

By David E. Atterton | Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
Two governments are running the same move right now, and neither will say the word for it.

Ariel: Iraqi Dinar Update, Current SITREP as of June 8, 2026
6-8-2026
Good evening to you all. We are in the thick of things aren’t we? We are on the verge of some major action across different sectors. But the main one being the Clarity Act for now is what we are focused on.
So let’s tie Iraq into this equation. Iraq’s been grinding through a slow-burn cleanup that’s hitting harder than the public stories let on. That Mustafa Sanad move on halting the 116 billion dinar transfer to Dubai isn’t some random anti-corruption flex. It’s a visible crack in the old leakage pipelines that have bled the system for years offshore cutouts, parallel market plays, and networks that funneled liquidity where it shouldn’t go.
Warsh’s Fed is Unlike Anything we’ve Seen
Heresy Financial: 6-8-2026
The role of the Federal Reserve has undergone a massive transformation over the past two decades. What began as a focused institution has expanded its reach into areas far beyond its original scope, including climate policy and the management of trillions of dollars in mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt.
While the Fed has historically defended this expanded autonomy under the banner of independence, a new approach is on the horizon. Under the leadership of newly appointed Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh, there is a push to recalibrate the institution, steering it back toward the narrow, core mandates originally authorized by Congress.

Triple Failure: Bonds, Real Estate, & Currencies | Rafi Farber
Liberty and Finance: 6-8-2026
Interview with Rafi Farber presents a high tension view of a global financial system under multiple pressure points.
He argues paper and physical precious metals may appear aligned today but could rapidly diverge if confidence shifts suddenly rather than gradually.
Oil is framed as a potential trigger, where a sharp spike could force asset sales, accelerate inflation, and expose leverage across credit, housing, and equities.

It Was a Win/Win Deal So of Course They Rejected It
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) June 8, 2026
On November 6, 1906, an American entrepreneur named Augustus E. Staley incorporated his cornstarch manufacturing business in Decatur, Illinois— the first city that Abraham Lincoln came to when he first moved to Illinois at the young age of 21. Staley’s A.E. Staley Manufacturing Company made cornstarch... which is hardly sexy by modern business standards. But over time his company was a huge success and grew it into a major Midwest food processor.

Iraq’s Central Bank Prints Trillions Of Dinars To Cover State Expenditures
Iraq Amr Salem June 7, 2026 Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) issued around 25 trillion dinars to pay governmental expenditures, bringing the total money supply to 125 trillion dinars. According to media reports, the step took place to counter falling oil income caused by regional interruptions in petroleum shipments.
Iraq’s crude oil exports fell by 3.22 million barrels per day in May 2026, a loss of more than 97 percent, owing to continuous disruptions in marine traffic in the Strait of Hormuz caused by the war against Iran. The revenues generated from oil exports plummeted to $1.87 billion in April, a drop of roughly $5 billion from pre-war levels.
Here’s Where U.S. Debt May Become Unsustainable With Interest Payments Triggering A Default Crisis That Even Steep Tax Hikes Can’t Fix
Jason Ma Sat, June 6, 2026 Soaring U.S. debt and projections that put it at astronomical levels in the coming years have set off increasing panic, though the precise level that sparks a crisis is unknown. But the Penn Wharton Budget Model may have an answer: more than 210% of GDP.
Above that “outer bound” threshold, there’s no feasible tax on labor income that can finance interest payments on U.S. debt at returns acceptable to investors, PWBM warned in a report Thursday.
