MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good evening, MarkZ and RV gang.

Member: Good Evening all…..Hoping for  some Solid RV news tonight

MZ:  Some interesting news from the group side today. There are reports from other people’s contacts saying a number of the groups have their funds and are preparing for distribution.  Members of the groups do not have those funds yet. I heard this starting from reputable contacts late yesterday …This gives me hope we are about to see those distributions

MZ: Once that goes- then it is all ready to roll

Member: A shotgun start…woonoo

Member: Reports are not confirmations though.

MZ: Yes and while they look and sound great- they are not confirmations. I am waiting for folks I know personally to give me those confirmations before I get to excited.

Member: Wolverine’s been saying that Pentecostal group have received their funds. Not sure about distribution though

Member: I was told that Iraq budget tables have been approved, and its not being sent to the council of ministers-I hope it’s true!

MZ:  Yes- we are finally getting some solid movement on that front. This gives us a bit of hope for this weekend.    “The Minister of Planning announces the completion of the preparation of the budget tables and their submission to the Council of Ministers.” 

Member: So, after they discuss the budget tables, 15 days to implement?  Hope its sooner than that though.

Member: Does it matter that the Iraqi government is on a 10 day vacation?

MZ: Parts of the government are on that vacation . Part are still working. Ministers of parliament are still working (MP’s)

MZ: This one is really interesting: “ The US government is a big money laundering operation- John Rubino”   There are some big parts in this I think are very important.

MZ: “ Interest payments are spiraling to infinity because we have overspent.   With  massive amounts of debt and currency creation we have hit the death spiral for the dollar and other big fiat currencie…this means the cost to maintain this debt starts to spiral out of control and people lose faith. Then the currency collapses or you have a “currency reset”.

MZ: The Trump administration contains a lot of “gold bugs” . There is a decent chance that instead of having a collapse because the dollar is evaporating, that this government will be smart enough to do the monetary reset. To go back to the “Gold Standard” or some type of commodity based standard where we peg the dollar to something that is real and cannot be created in infinite quantities on a printing press.

MZ: in this scenario the dollar sinks in value and gold needs to be 10K an ounce or higher. Gold has to go way up on price in a “reset”. This is a fact throughout history. If gold goes up 3x’s…then silver will go 5-10x’s

https://usawatchdog.com/us-government-is-a-big-money-laundering-operation-john-rubino/

MZ: This is not me or any other gurus saying this. We have heard this from John Rubino, Jim Rickards, and Andy Schectman and some other great economists. They are all telling us this. We have already hit the death spiral and there is only way out- A reset.

MZ: There is legislation sitting in congress right now –in committee to change the value of gold….they are preparing.

Member: Thanks Mark and mods. See everyone in the morning

Member: It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

KTFA:

Clare:  The Minister of Planning announces the completion of the preparation of the budget tables and their submission to the Council of Ministers.

3/26/2025

 Minister of Planning, Mohammed Tamim, announced today, Wednesday, the completion of the 2025 budget tables and their submission to the Council of Ministers.

Tamim said in a press statement, "The budget schedules do not include any new projects, but they do include funding for ongoing projects."

For his part, Chairman of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, said, "We are determined to activate the General Authority for Monitoring the Allocation of Federal Revenues." LINK

Clare:  Iraq has the fourth largest oil reserves in the world.

3/26/2025 - Baghdad

State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) highlighted the importance of Iraqi oil and its vital role in global markets on Wednesday, noting that Iraq possesses the fourth-largest proven oil reserves in the world, at approximately 145 billion barrels.

The company said: “The promotion and sale of Iraqi crude oil is taking place in the three main markets (the Asian market, the European market, and the American market), in addition to the African market, by participating in international forums and conferences and holding meetings with major international companies directly or through the official website for online participation, in addition to inviting and providing the opportunity for major international companies, under announced conditions and within the established contexts, to participate in spot cargo auctions (Spot Cargo), which has worked to attract many international companies to be permanent customers for purchasing Iraqi crude oil, while emphasizing that the marketing strategy followed is to focus on markets that offer the highest returns and the best stability of demand, with flexibility in directing shipments according to global price changes to the rest of the markets to export the full available quantities of Iraqi crude oil.”

Regarding the advantages of Iraqi oil, SOMO confirmed that “global crude oils are classified and their quality is determined based on their API (specific gravity) and sulfur content. Iraqi crude oil produced on this basis is classified into (medium and heavy crude oil) based on its specific gravity. It has a high sulfur content for both types, according to the sulfur content standard. It is considered a crude oil with specifications (required globally), and is compatible with the operational plans of refineries that wish to produce specific products according to their needs.”

She explained that "among the advantages that help attract buyers are the significant and growing demand for medium and heavy crude oils, stable production, and the availability of large, stable quantities that ensure long-term supply contracts for these refineries. The geographic location and low shipping costs make Iraqi oil a favorite in the Asian market, in addition to the fair, competitive price based on market fundamentals."

She pointed out that "an increase in the API (specific gravity) means the possibility of producing larger quantities of light products with a higher price value compared to heavy products, while the higher the sulfur content in crude oil, the less desirable it is to buyers because it requires higher costs to refine it."

The company continued, "Iraq ranks fifth globally in oil production, with an output of approximately 4.27 million barrels per day, making it the second-largest producer in OPEC after Saudi Arabia. Iraq also has the fourth-largest proven oil reserves in the world, at approximately 145 billion barrels."

She pointed out that "this ranking reflects Iraq's vital role in global oil markets, as it contributes significantly to meeting global energy demand. Marketing-wise, Iraqi crude oil is considered an important oil with a good market reputation, as it is relied upon by many international refineries in their refining operations and is in relatively high demand."

She added, "Iraqi crude oil is in global demand for refineries in several countries, as Iraqi crude oil is exported exclusively to companies that own refineries, but most of the companies to which Iraqi crude oil is exported are Asian companies, the most important of which are China and India, at a rate of approximately 70%, and approximately 30% for the other two markets, European and American combined."

She explained that "the Oil Marketing Company adopts a clear strategy in accordance with the best marketing principles adopted globally through the principle of transparency and clarity in dealing with international companies specialized in the field of oil. It also adopts medium and long-term contracts to ensure the marketing of crude oil with the best return, achieving the interest of the country, which depends on more than (90%) of its budget financing on the revenues achieved by the Oil Marketing Company."

She stated that "the Oil Marketing Company also adopts the export of products such as naphtha, fuel oil, jet fuel, sulfur and any other surplus products beyond local needs, while the imports of these products vary according to the quantities and types available for export. The production costs borne by companies investing in Iraqi oil fields can indirectly affect the global prices of Iraqi oil, as the price of Iraqi crude oil depends on market factors such as supply and demand. Production costs affect Iraq's profit margins and its investments in oil, but global prices are determined more by supply and demand factors, competition, OPEC+ policies in some cases, and others. If costs rise significantly and affect Iraq's production capacity, it may lead to higher oil prices due to a shortage in supply."

Regarding the difference in selling prices for Iraqi oil compared to Brent crude prices, the company said: “Iraqi crude oil is sold at a higher or lower price than Brent crude, due to differences in quality, specifications, shipping costs, infrastructure challenges, and competitive pricing policy. However, it varies according to global market conditions, as Brent crude oil is the benchmark used in the European market. There are also other oils that differ from Brent crude oil, such as Dubai + Oman crude oil for the Asian market and the ASCI sour crude oil index in the US market.”

She added, "OPEC and OPEC+ policies determine production levels, which are reflected in global prices, impacting the buying and selling of Iraqi crude oil. The greater the production restrictions, the higher the prices, but the lower the quantities sold, and vice versa. These policies also impact its market share and financial returns."  LINK

Militia Man  We haven't heard anything about the oil running...It hasn't started through the Cyan Port.  Salaries haven't been completely 100% sorted, the '23, '24 budget schedules haven't been exposed and they haven't gone to the parliament yet.  But now parliament is pushing for that to happen.  What are they waiting for?  They're waiting for an exchange rate...

Frank26    Article:  “Blessed by Tehran, a ‘framework’ agreement to protect American interests and prohibit unilateral military support for Palestine.”  Article quote: “The main forces within the Coordination Framework…reached an agreement to remove the Popular Mobilization Forces from the political file, in addition to merging all factions within the Popular Mobilization Forces Authority. The agreement stipulates that all Popular Mobilization Forces…are subject to the orders of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces only, and that no party may act outside the framework of official military orders under any name or reason…noting that Tehran, which is the supporter of the axis of resistance, has supported this”  Is this for real?  Because if this if for real…we now have security and stability!

Trump vs. BRICS, the Battle for Global Currency Supremacy

Trump vs. BRICS, the Battle for Global Currency Supremacy

Geopolitical Analyst:  3-26-2025

The global financial landscape is undergoing a significant shift, and at the heart of this transformation lies a power struggle for the future of global currency supremacy.

 For decades, the US dollar has reigned supreme, serving as the cornerstone of international trade, investment, and holding the coveted title of the world’s primary reserve currency.

However, the rise of new economic powerhouses, particularly the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), and the expansion of the BRICS+ coalition, are challenging the dollar’s long-held dominance.

The emergence of these powerful economies, spearheaded by China and Russia, has ignited a strategic rivalry with the United States, each side vying for control over the future global currency system.

Fueling this competition is the legacy of former President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy, which sought to solidify the US dollar’s position. Meanwhile, the BRICS+ nations are actively exploring alternatives to de-dollarize and diminish the US currency’s influence.

But what do these competing forces mean for the global economy, and is the US dollar truly in danger of losing its coveted position as the world’s reserve currency?

The US dollar’s dominance in the global financial system spans nearly a century. After World War II, the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944 established the US dollar as the central currency for international trade and finance. This landmark agreement, which pegged other currencies to the US dollar, solidified its position as the world’s reserve currency.

Even the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the early 1970s couldn’t dethrone the dollar, which continued to reign supreme in global finance.

Several factors have contributed to the dollar’s unparalleled strength. Foremost among them is the sheer size and resilience of the US economy. As the world’s largest economy, the United States boasts a financial system that is deep, liquid, and trusted by investors worldwide. This inherent stability attracts capital and reinforces the dollar’s attractiveness.

Furthermore, the dollar has become the default currency for key global markets, most notably the oil market. The “petrodollar” system, which mandates that oil transactions be conducted in dollars, has been instrumental in cementing the dollar’s central role in global trade and demand.

Beyond economic factors, the dollar has also benefitted from its status as the preferred reserve currency for central banks worldwide. The United States’ considerable political and military influence further reinforces the dollar’s dominance. Countries looking to engage in trade with the US or maintain access to its vast markets are incentivized to hold dollar reserves, effectively reinforcing the dollar’s global position.

MZ: “Nearly 30 million Iraqis eligible to vote in 2025 elections”  They are currently working on their voter integrity laws.

MZ: We are still waiting for the Iraq budget tables. And I hear they are working on those today. Many still believe there is a new rate hidden in there.

Member: I would sure like to see less talk and more action on this reset. I was sure hoping the new Trump administration would see the economy as a priority. Mot much seems to be happening

Member: Maybe we are waiting for the audits of the Fed reserve, the UST, and Ft. Knox before we see anything big?

Member: I bet there is a lot happening “behind the scenes” and big things will happen suddenly. Hang in there

Ariel:  The Gold Standard:

A Return to Real Wealth America re-adopting the gold standard means every dollar is backed by tangible gold, not just government promises.

Historically, the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971 under Nixon, leading to decades of inflation $1 in 1971 is worth about $7.50 today.

Now, with gold backing the dollar, your money holds real value. Imagine walking into a store knowing the $100 in your pocket won’t lose purchasing power overnight.

 For families, this means savings grow, not shrink. Businesses can plan long-term without fearing currency devaluation.

Globally, the dollar regains trust nations like China and Russia, who’ve hoarded gold (China with 2,200 tons, Russia with 2,300 tons as of 2024), will trade with the U.S. on equal footing, stabilizing markets and reducing economic warfare.

Do you all see what is happening right in front of your eyes?

Walkingstick  Why so many meetings?  Why so many times have they met with the Secretary Treasury under Trump's office?  Not once did they meet with Biden's Secretary of Treasury.  So many meetings.

Mnt Goat  Will cash paper dinar coincide with the digital dinar?  Article: “RAFIDAIN BANK DEPLOYS ATMS AT 5 STATIONS IN BAGHDAD”  Why would they deploy yet more ATMs now. Don’t forget also the hundreds of ATMs deployed throughout Iraq in the past. Why would they do this if not still expecting to use cash at some level.  Article Quote:  “Rafidain Bank announced the deployment of automated teller machines (ATMs) at a number of stations, allowing customers to conduct withdrawals and deposits easily and safely..." So, now we see the ATMs would only be needed if there is still a need for cash.

The Next 2008 Is HAPPENING NOW… and Nobody’s Ready for It

Taylor Kenny:  3-25-2025

The next 2008 is already unfolding—only this time, it’s not the banks at risk… it’s your savings. Retail bankruptcies are exploding, but that’s just the beginning.

Behind the scenes, private equity is using a dangerous debt strategy that could wipe out 401(k)s, pensions, and retirement accounts across the country.

“Tidbits From TNT” Wednesday Morning 3-26-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  MP: America has no other means of pressuring Iraq than economic means.

Member of Parliament Amer Hussein confirmed on Wednesday that America has no other cards than the economic card and financial pressures to confront Iraq with in order to exert pressure and achieve its goals.

Hussein told / Al-Maalouma /, “America has no other cards than the economic cards against Iraq if it wants to tighten the noose on the country, such that it will move towards restricting the movement of Iraqi funds held in American banks.”

He added, "The American side has the economic card to play with Iraq, as it is possible to prevent dealings with certain companies and restrict financial transactions, but such a siege cannot be resorted to by Washington without justifications that push it to such options."

He explained that "America will not be able to re-exert pressure on Iraq through the security aspects related to the terrorist ISIS, and therefore it is working on the economic card to achieve its interests." End  link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani: Iraq is witnessing a state of recovery, growth, progress, and prosperity.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress, and prosperity, and that we are working to advance this process. He emphasized that establishing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects.

The Prime Minister's Media Office said in a statement, seen by Al-Eqtisad News, that "Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, joined officers and fighters of the Land Forces Command for a Ramadan iftar meal."

The statement added that "al-Sudani congratulated those present on the fasting of the holy month of Ramadan, stressing that the security and stability witnessed by the country is thanks to the sacrifices of the members of the security services of all kinds. He pointed to the improvement in security indicators, in light of security and stability, and the decline in terrorist operations, attacks and even criminal crime, stressing that imposing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects."

Al-Sudani stressed - according to the statement - the necessity of securing the fighter's entitlements and rights, especially those related to providing housing, indicating that "the Ministry of Defense has made significant progress in completing the requirements for distributing residential plots, and they will soon be distributed in serviced areas among members, as a government commitment, in addition to caring for the families of martyrs and the wounded, without whose sacrifices security and stability would not have been achieved in Iraq."

The Prime Minister affirmed that "Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress and prosperity, and we are working to continue it," stressing that "we must remain prepared, alert and vigilant, and this is achieved by adhering to basic principles."

He added that "discipline, commitment, professionalism and readiness to sacrifice are military values ​​that must be present, and leaders, officers, commanders and non-commissioned officers must instill them in their behavior towards army members." He explained, "We need continuous training and updating its curricula to raise the level and readiness of army members to face various challenges."

The Prime Minister explained that "the government has made significant strides in empowering the Iraqi army, with all its leadership, formations and types, especially in the field of armament."

He continued, "Arming the army will be done through several projects that we are working to complete, in addition to rehabilitating the infrastructure of bases and camps. It is our duty to deliver all rights stipulated by laws and decisions to the families of martyrs and the wounded."

Al-Sudani concluded his remarks by emphasizing that Iraq's path is moving in the right direction toward brotherhood, solidarity, unity, and a unified national discourse for all Iraqis.  link

Member: Good evening one and all            

Member: Bring us some good news Mark!

MZ: “Sudanese: Iraq is witnessing a state of recovery, growth, progress and prosperity”  they are talking about peace and also how they are folding the militias into the military. This is an important piece for the US.

MZ: “Iraq is entering a new trade era and is approaching the path of development”  They are working on floating gas platforms and the development road…..and all of Iraq’s future potential. This development road might well make the Suez canal unimportant.

Member: Frank is excited for this week.

Member: Frank said he is wearing his CHAMPAIGNE suit this Friday for the 1st ever.

MZ: I am still hearing from different groups that they are still moving people and getting them into place. But there is a concerted effort to squash leaks so it doesn’t hurt the timing. I will respect that.

MZ: We do not know the timing but from the movement of people-things appear to be very close.

MZ: I am still waiting for some of the bigger bond holders to have spendable dollars. Not from a flipper. These are friends of mine in “real-life” and I think this could happen at any moment.  Some have meetings late this week where they expect to be fully funded…..we will see. .

Member: There is many rumors about Wednesday -Thursday we could expect notifications? Let's hope so !!!

Member: how about rates on Indonesian rupee?? ANYBODY know anything on that one?

Member: Its been surmised to be at the same rate for many years $1.47 per each USD

Member: Everyone have a good evening. Sweet dreams and maybe more good news in the morning

They Debased USD Reserve and Destroyed our Industries

They Debased USD Reserve and Destroyed our Industries

Liberty and Finance:  3-24-2025

The U.S. economy has been grappling with persistent trade deficits for decades, sparking heated debates about their impact on American manufacturing, jobs, and overall prosperity.

 In a recent discussion with Liberty and Finance, journalist and founder of The Brownstone Institute, Jeffrey Tucker, delved into the intricate web of factors contributing to these deficits and offered a compelling perspective on potential solutions.

Tucker began by exploring the historical trajectory of American manufacturing, lamenting the decline in factories and the loss of domestic production. He argued that a complex interplay of factors, beyond simple protectionism, has contributed to this shift.

 Highlighting the global reach and influence of the U.S. dollar, Tucker explained its crucial role in international trade. The dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency, while offering certain advantages, also creates unique challenges in addressing trade imbalances.

One of the key concepts Tucker emphasized was the importance of the price-specie flow mechanism, a classical economic theory that describes how trade imbalances are naturally corrected over time.

This mechanism posits that a nation with a trade deficit will experience an outflow of gold (or other precious metals, historically), leading to a decrease in its money supply and a subsequent fall in prices. This, in turn, makes its goods more competitive on the global market, eventually correcting the trade imbalance.

However, Tucker argues that this natural corrective mechanism has been significantly hampered by modern monetary policies and interventions. He criticizes government policies that distort market signals and interfere with the natural flow of capital.

Tucker also acknowledged the complexities arising from global currency dynamics, recognizing that international trade is not simply a matter of bilateral agreements between nations. He argued that understanding and adapting to the ever-changing global economic landscape is crucial for navigating the challenges of trade deficits.

Ultimately, Tucker’s perspective offers a sobering yet optimistic view of the path forward for the American economy. By embracing policies that promote economic freedom, reduce government intervention, and foster a competitive business environment, he believes the U.S. can revitalize its manufacturing sector, improve its trade balance, and secure a more prosperous future.

 His insights provide a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate surrounding trade deficits and offer a framework for considering alternative approaches to economic policy.

 While the solutions are complex and multifaceted, Tucker’s emphasis on deregulation, free markets, and sound monetary policy offers a compelling starting point for a much-needed conversation.

Tuesday Coffee with MarkZ. 03/25/2025

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Happy Tuesday Morning

Member: I hope all of you know how delightful you are and how much you brighten my day!

Member: Lots of rumors that things are moving in Columbia.

MZ: On the bond side. Lots of back and forth. Some are very excited and believe they are getting their final contracts…Some say they are seeing dollars move. Then others saying no…..they are just going to flip theirs. (Sell to a bond flipper for much less then final price would have given them- Then the flipper resells them)  

MZ: Not all bond contacts are MIA…some are just refusing to speak. Some go straight to voice mail…..some are expecting final contracts.

Member: How does this work…the very wealthy get their monies and the rest-whenever???

Member: Wish there were currency flippers so many of us could sell some . Even at a low rate it would sure help me hold on till RV finally happens.

MZ: There were some rumors it was going overnight last night …but I wasn’t seeing key people where they were supposed to be yet. Many are still in transit. So I wasn’t expecting it last night.

Member: I was bummed that Mr. C doesn’t think we will see the RV until later in the year.

MZ: I think it will be a lot sooner than that. Mr. C likes to think “further out” as it helps him deal with the roller coaster.

Member: And if its earlier than he expect it’s a nice “surprise”

Member: I used to like roller coaster…..Now, I never want to ride another one…..

Member: I just don’t understand how the bondholders are in the process of getting paid and we would be so far out. It just wouldn’t make sense.

Member: there are many good bank stories out there

MZ: And from banks….it seems like all of them are expecting foreign currency exchanges.

Member:  Mark Z and crew .is it true that the flip of the switch could come any time of day not just overnight….. curious

Member: So is the big excitement about April 2nd another groundhog day letdown?

Member: I think it’s just about US tariffs starting….nothing to do with currencies. Not expecting anything then.

MZ: “ To discuss investment opportunities- American delegation to Iraq soon”   Big business leaders will be coming….They want to discuss business and long term cooperation throughout the region. They also want to discuss the new security and stability in Iraq.

MZ: Lots of ping pong news coming out of Iraq today .

Member: What ever happened to the budget tables?

Member: Still not passed…and still not done.

Member:  Parliamentary confirmation of the resumption of parliamentary sessions and calling on the government to expedite the submission of budget schedules."

MZ: From a former parliament member “ Parliament finance excludes sending budget tables within 2 months. That’s its value” In other words they are still hiding that value in the budget.   This is similar to what we saw in Kuwait just before they RV’d. So I am hopeful this is not a delay and just them putting a smoke screen in front of our eyes.

Member: Mark all this talk about the 31st and Iraq starting  over ?  It could that just mean Iraq has to pay a penalty on new oil contracts-IMO

MZ: “ Iraq rolls out TIR –An historic step toward boosting international trade and reducing  transport costs”  this is important as it deals with the financial borders they had to control. I was told this is a key step as they lock down and control their financial borders . This begins next week….more fees, tariffs and tax income.

Member: Is Venezuelan Bolivar in the first basket?

Member: supposed to be… I;m taking mine- just in case

MZ: I’m hopeful it will be…just not 100%

​​Member: If only the iqd an vnd go first….. I wonder what will stop people from going to get more ?????

Member: I hope they have a deadline when they want to wrap this up by?  And I hope its soon.

Member: Hopefully this is the week!!

Member: How do you manage to keep strength to keep on doing this Mark? After all these years of doing this is phenomenal! You must get intel we do t to keep your faith up.

Member: thanks for always feeling positive Mark….We appreciate you.
